[0:46] All you do is hurt something.

[0:50] It probably hurts your feelings, because that's what I do when I say to them,

[1:07] uh, uh,

[1:12] you know, it's been a pretty good play. It's pretty good player. No, you're not.

[1:18] Yeah.

[1:20] Yeah.

[1:20] First of all, no, no, no, he's not a member of their church.

[1:28] Okay.

[1:31] The crew in the playlist.

[1:33] Hey.

[1:35] So, what do you, hey, tell them that that's going to see Kenny's

[1:38] loser tonight.

[1:39] What do y'all think about that?

[1:40] Y'all get, y'all get the invitation.

[1:42] We made y'all, y'all missed.

[1:44] Hey.

[1:46] No, it was a two-year celebration.

[1:49] Chief, hey, but anyway, which year was it?

[1:54] It's a little blast.

[1:55] Long day, Wendy.

[1:56] He's a long church.

[1:58] He has a long church.

[1:59] What's the name of it?

[2:01] The extra.

[2:04] Annie's.

[2:08] Rick, reconciliation.

[2:09] No,

[2:13] anyway.

[2:15] I got there late and it was about two o'clock.

[2:18] But it lasted till 6.30.

[2:23] We just had all kinds of things.

[2:25] It was really, really good.

[2:27] We have a farm, man.

[2:31] I have one.

[2:32] Don't you need to have me talk.

[2:35] Yeah, yeah, I have them.

[2:36] I was 6.30.

[2:37] You got to look around.

[2:38] Is it ready?

[2:40] I knew I didn't know if I was going to be here at 6.30.

[2:46] I was waiting to see you.

[2:46] I had to drop my baby out.

[2:48] It's here.

[2:49] Y'all might work.

[2:50] I'm glad.

[2:52] You're getting ready.

[2:53] Yes, you're getting ready.

[2:57] Don't worry.

[2:58] I'm not going to wait.

[2:58] Yeah, I'm going to let you get the cops.

[3:01] No way don't need.

[3:03] Okay.

[3:05] You know, it's.

[3:06] Regulation.

[3:08] Oh, look at that.

[3:12] That's why we keep it out anytime.

[3:15] I didn't do that.

[3:18] Lee put it.

[3:18] I think I know Eric.

[3:20] But I said I'm here.

[3:21] Well, it's still 6 on the front of it.

[3:22] Yeah, okay, okay, I'm open to one on the left.

[3:35] Okay. I don't want it to be an upside down six. Oh, no, we're going to go in Colorado.

[3:41] Hello, guys. Mr. Purt, if you're going out, we appreciate it.

[3:45] Alderman Johnson, here.

[3:47] Alderman Hosey Sanders, Alderman Amos, Alderman Mack, here.

[3:53] Alderman Gibson, Alderman Carson, Alderman Harris Allen,

[3:59] present Attorney Scanlon, and the Honorable Mayor White,

[4:03] Poseidon. Thank you, Mr. Clerk.

[4:04] So we're going to be working on our budget for this week.

[4:08] And we have one thing I see on the board, which is our, we need to have those all made and put on the side of our cars that the city of Byron presents presents our balanced budget with no signals.

[4:19] That's good.

[4:21] But I want to make sure everybody solve that audience. So anyway, I think if I want to we can go and get started.

[4:32] Hello, hello.

[4:35] So we are presenting the budget that will run from October 1, 2026 through September 30th of 2027.

[4:46] Some of the capital projects we're looking at including in this budget in streets.

[4:53] We have the Siwell Road, Terry Road intersection where we're going to be widening, paving and striping.

[4:59] We're going to be paving Terry Road North from the Siwell Terry Road intersection and then we'll also have a

[5:06] Citadel City overlay project that will encompass several streets throughout the whole city of Virum.

[5:12] In the park department, we're going to have our soccer complex, nature trails, and dog park.

[5:20] In drainage, we have capital projects on Alexandria Drive,

[5:25] Barrington Drive, and we're Mill Drive planned.

[5:28] In the sewer department, we plan on a beginning phase two of the big creek sewer interception project.

[5:36] A beginning sewer service expansion on Hines Parkway and not on this sheet, but we'll also be able to begin upgrading some of our pump stations throughout the city.

[5:48] capital outlay for vehicles and equipment, we plan on buying three new police patrol vehicles

[5:56] and two new public workstrucks.

[6:00] So the City of Baram General Fund is funded by mostly taxes.

[6:07] We are projected to receive advalorum taxes in the amount of $3,911,474.

[6:15] dollars. Court revenues, $445,000. Franchise fees, $450,000, $528. Licenses and permits, $143,000.

[6:30] Sales tax of $3,800,000. We have $3,428,230 projected in state-shared revenues.

[6:46] $210,325 in other revenue. We did maintain $1,850,000 in a reserve fund. That this year is going

[6:59] to be put in a separate bank account so that we can start logging its own separate interest.

[7:05] We're starting off this year with beginning cash of $1,16,000 and $41, so that brings our

[7:14] total general fund revenues to $15,254,599.

[7:25] So then we have to look at expenditures, of course.

[7:28] The legislative division, which is the board, the Board of Alderman, we have expenses of $300,000, $528.

[7:39] Judicial, which is court services, $475,000 and $28.

[7:46] The executive branch, which is the mayor, expenditures of $35,674.

[7:56] Admin, the financial city clerk's office, $597,230.

[8:04] Planning and zoning, $104,174.

[8:12] Admin, where it says General City Hall, that is the building itself, the running of the building.

[8:18] And that total is $357,975.

[8:24] The police department has projected expenses of $4,079,369.

[8:32] dollars, fire department, $2,811,493, building inspection, $246,849, streets, $4,158,760,

[8:51] dollars. Parks and recreation, $210,498.

[8:59] Transfers, that is ending cash added to the reserves.

[9:05] So that's the title of $1,877,020. That makes the total expenditures, $15,254,599,

[9:19] dollars, which leaves our net at zero.

[9:23] Money comes in, money is budgeted to go out.

[9:30] A breakdown of the expenditures by department for the elected officials, the legislative branch,

[9:41] we have $251,278 in personnel services.

[9:48] $2,850 in supplies, $46,400 in professional services, for that total that I gave you

[9:59] a little while ago of $300,528.

[10:03] Judicial court services, we have personnel services in the amount of $322, $322,728.

[10:14] $10,300 in supplies and $142,000 in professional services for the total of $475,000 and $28.00.

[10:27] The mayor's branch, we have personnel services of $23,104, supplies of $650.00, professional

[10:38] Professional services of $11,920 to make the total $35,674.

[10:48] Admin Financial City Clerk's Office, Personnel Services, $347,980, supplies $14,000.

[10:59] Professional Services, 235,250, for a total of $597,230.

[11:09] Planning and zoning, we have personnel services of $61,774, supplies in the amount of $8,100.

[11:20] professional services of 34,300 to make the total of $104,174.

[11:29] City Hall personnel services there are none.

[11:33] Supplies $42,000, professional services $315,975.

[11:41] That's the total of $357,975.

[11:45] The police department, we have personnel services in the amount of $3,052,485.

[11:55] Supplies of $410,400.

[12:00] Professional services of $561,484.

[12:06] And capital outlay of $55,000.

[12:12] Yes, ma'am?

[12:14] The police department, the grant funding that they gave for over time.

[12:18] Yes, ma'am.

[12:19] Do we have a figure out where that was?

[12:21] Well, it has its own separate line item in revenues.

[12:25] Yes, ma'am.

[12:27] Do you know now?

[12:28] Do you know now?

[12:30] Please.

[12:37] So let's say the wine item is

[13:02] 234, I believe.

[13:08] I do not. Yeah, we do not have a specific amount for that. So whatever amount we do receive for that grant will be in addition to additional income coming back to the police department.

[13:26] And it was like, it was getting it all year round.

[13:32] We just, we just sent off another new and they would achieve, you know, we just applied

[13:36] for it again.

[13:37] So I'll just sign the plan for you by a week.

[13:39] So we're going to go, we're already doing it.

[13:41] We haven't got that yet.

[13:43] Right.

[13:43] We've not received, you know, I don't have any paperwork that says you will receive a certain

[13:49] amount.

[13:51] Um, you did that, you know, but that will be additional funding.

[13:55] I think coming in, it's been out.

[14:01] We have to calculate, I was just a few, a little time.

[14:06] It means they clock in and clock in the jobs of three.

[14:10] And when I go through time, or I put time in,

[14:12] I was going to work on the grid.

[14:14] And they fill out the paperwork,

[14:15] they're like protection.

[14:17] That I would need to see if this is where it is they pay it.

[14:19] And they're going to submit to these units

[14:21] to be able to see the coming more.

[14:23] Thank you.

[14:24] Thank you.

[14:30] This is really a new problem, right?

[14:33] You've been doing it for a couple of years.

[14:36] It's a different way of something.

[14:38] It's a certain criteria that you look for.

[14:43] But after you submit them.

[14:44] They get it.

[14:45] They receive the process.

[14:46] They they'll send them back to you.

[14:49] Usually with the email.

[14:57] but it's around a six to eight months.

[15:00] Let's turn around time. Okay. I wrote down he has already seen you, he has seen that they have

[15:07] certainly managed they came to the, but okay, I don't know. I do not have any projected numbers for

[15:15] FY27, but like I said, whatever we do receive, that will be income over and above what's reflected here.

[15:25] I just, I don't have any documentation to give me any idea of what that may be to put in that. I didn't want to just make up a number, you know.

[15:37] I can't go ahead, please.

[15:40] So is there anything in the phone right now and where is it?

[15:47] Well, this is not a separate fund, this is money that the police department is reimbursed

[15:55] for certain overtime expenses, not just any overtime, but under certain circumstances

[16:02] when they're working on certain things is my understanding.

[16:06] Is that correct?

[16:06] Yes.

[16:07] Okay.

[16:07] So we track it when it comes E.

[16:09] Yes, ma'am.

[16:12] And when they have a payout date of October, we actually didn't receive it until May.

[16:23] That's why, you know, when I said, it was a seven-month turnaround time for when they

[16:29] had it approved to when we actually got the funds.

[16:33] So, and I've never received, I, you know, I can look at what we have received, but not having

[16:40] any documentation of how this grant worked or what was projected to come in this year.

[16:51] That's the reason why I just I don't have a number.

[16:56] If you apply for the OTAO you how much you get through and that's just what's the name of the

[17:04] But you have to, as you work, they read your personal story.

[17:09] So you said, no, I think this is next, but it's going to be about $52,000.

[17:13] You know, that's what's the thing with that.

[17:15] As you work, it's, you can get up to that from that page.

[17:19] OK, OK, we'll give you all more information on that.

[17:23] Go ahead, Mr. Washington.

[17:24] Right.

[17:26] Street's Department, we have personal services in the amount of $583,783.

[17:32] dollars, supplies of $159,750, professional services, $617,000, and capital outlay and

[17:45] debt service of $2,728,226.

[17:52] That makes the total for streets of $4,158,760.

[17:58] dollars. Parks and recreation, personnel services is $105,968. Supplies of $47,000.

[18:10] Professional services, $57,530. Yes, ma'am?

[18:16] That is a total of $210,498.

[18:30] Now, before I go to the very last one on this page, the personnel services in each of

[18:35] these departments, that is accounting for a 5% raise for every employee and board member

[18:43] who has been working for the city for at least six months and a 10% raise for the department

[18:49] heads.

[18:51] Okay, the last category on this page transfers.

[18:55] You can see our reserves of $1,850,000 is intact, and we have ending cash of $27,000 and $20.

[19:06] That's the total that you see on the bottom of the page, $1,877,000 and $20.

[19:13] dollars.

[19:16] The next fund, how well that's the end of the general fund budget. So if you have

[19:25] questions on that particular budget, that would be now would be inappropriate time.

[19:32] However,

[19:32] y'all would like to do this. What's the question? Do you have an idea right now with the streets,

[19:40] how ministries we can pay. I do not. I that's not my not my wheelhouse. I don't know what it

[19:49] costs. I have not. Okay. So how do we know that? That's not you trying to smoke? No. I'm just being

[19:57] honest as I can witness being nobody I'm not gonna start day tonight and you're not gonna start. I

[20:02] wouldn't be as smart as you know. It has been so it has been explained to me that if we

[20:10] If we bid out a project as a city overlay project, then we will get better rates than for

[20:19] a one contractor to do the whole thing like we've done before, then if we bid out individual

[20:25] streets at a time.

[20:27] So once the budget has been officially approved, which you know, it won't be brought for

[20:34] actual approval until this time next week. Tonight is just a presentation. Once it's been officially

[20:43] approved, then the engineers will get with Dexter Shelby and look at the streets. Board members,

[20:52] please start thinking about, you know, which are the streets in your wards that are in most

[20:57] need of attention and, you know, we'll have to see, you know, we'll do as much as we can afford

[21:04] today. Thank you, Cork. I appreciate your answer. You're welcome. And we're talking about

[21:11] amazing facts. What was it on? Well, what we have, what we have in this budget is, and let me get to

[21:35] Well, the amount that we, the amount that we have to spend on streets is the amount that we have available to spend on streets.

[21:50] We're going to, yes, ma'am, and let me just 1.4 million

[22:03] and you each have a copy of the full

[22:10] budgets in front of you. Well, that's included in paving and striping is a part of the project.

[22:22] But since our need was paid already, it doesn't have started selling.

[22:29] Right.

[22:29] Well, that 1.4 million is what is available to deal with streets, whether it's all used

[22:38] for paving, whether it's half and half.

[22:41] I don't have the specifics of what it costs to do, you know, this street or that street

[22:54] or just stripe one, I don't have that information.

[22:58] What I have is, you know, this is the money that we have available and typically that would

[23:08] be, you know, this is not just a, the board, you know, we have to go ahead to just spend

[23:14] this money. Every expenditure is going to go through the board. And the board is going

[23:19] to decide what exactly we want to spend this money on, you know, on a case-by-case basis,

[23:25] whether it's a big turn to count. Yeah, well, the total dollar amount is 1.4 million.

[23:32] again.

[23:37] Already said money said that that's supposed to be urgent because it worked by the major

[23:43] support and things like that.

[23:46] We do have that right that's not in that one point four million.

[23:50] No, that the reserve is $1.1 million eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

[23:56] That is the emergency fund.

[23:58] We talked about the reserve, so this-

[24:06] We do have 20 days on.

[24:08] The 1.4 million is completely separate from the reserve.

[24:12] The reserve is separate.

[24:14] It is untouchable.

[24:17] I

[24:20] do recall that in the past year there have been like $30,000 street something that needs

[24:27] have been done $50,000 or something that needs to be done.

[24:32] Do we have money for that aside from the reserve that would be used

[24:36] for like catastrophic hurt?

[24:38] I simply did.

[24:39] No, ma'am, um, in cases like that, then,

[24:42] you might see the ill and you'll vote to let us

[24:45] find the money and come up with this.

[24:47] Yeah, and in a, in a huge emergency like that,

[24:51] we would have to do budget amendments.

[24:53] We would have to reshuffle things, rethink things,

[24:58] You know,

[25:02] right, right, but no, this is the 1.4 million is separate from the reserve

[25:10] and that is money that is it is allocated to the streets department capital improvements.

[25:17] That means that it can be used in any streets department, you know, capital project, whether

[25:28] that be paving, striping, you know.

[25:33] And if we did need to use some for say a sewer project or a drainage project or whatever

[25:40] the case may be, then, you know, budget amendments would be necessary, but we would make it work,

[25:52] the next fund is the 100 fund. This is the tourism fund budget. This is the fund that the chamber

[26:00] contribution comes from Alderman Mac.

[26:04] That the requested amount for the chamber is calculated into

[26:09] these titles so that we could see exactly what we could afford. What decision the board

[26:16] makes on that is up to the board. But you see the two boxes at the top, they show our revenues

[26:24] and expenses. We're starting off the year with start beginning cash of $111,705. This money comes

[26:36] from a special 2% tax on hotels, hotels only. We have total tourism revenues of $113,600.

[26:49] That comes from the 2% special tax on hotels and interest.

[26:57] And we also have the donations. This is what we use for the Swing and Bridge Festival.

[27:02] So donations for the Swing and Bridge Festival also come into this account.

[27:08] So we have a total tourism revenues of 113,600.

[27:12] That makes the total with the beginning cash $225,305.

[27:19] We have tourism expenditures of $148,150.

[27:25] The bulk of that is the Swing and Bridge Festival.

[27:30] Again, now in your binder that I put together for you, there is a full breakdown of every

[27:36] line item, which is not in the PowerPoint.

[27:44] But that gives, let's say, total tourism revenues minus expenditures will leave us with

[27:50] ending cash of $77,155.

[27:55] Are there any questions on the 100 fund?

[27:58] The

[28:05] next fund is the 101. This is the 2% restaurant tax budget. Funded solely from the 2% special tax we get on prepared food in the city of Vira.

[28:17] And this fund can only be used for building and maintaining a sports complex or parks and recreation complex.

[28:27] We started off the year, or sorry, we will start off the year with $1,969,245.

[28:40] We're projecting revenues in the next year of $1,240,000.

[28:47] That'll make a total revenues $3,209,245.

[28:54] Those revenues are just from the 2% sales tax on prepared food and the interest from the account.

[29:01] We're projecting expenditures of $2,557,600, leaving an ending balance of $651,645.

[29:15] dollars. The way I figured this budget is that we would put 2,230,000 in to the park.

[29:26] And of course, we'll have to do a bond issue to pay for the rest of it. But I'm not

[29:32] able to do a separate fund for that at this time because I just don't have the numbers.

[29:37] So, I'll be bringing a new fund budget in the next couple of months, if that long.

[29:45] Once I actually have the numbers of the bond that we're going to be doing to pay for

[29:50] the sports complex, are there any questions on that fund?

[30:01] The next fund is the 110 fund. That's the law enforcement budget. Oh, thank you.

[30:12] When we say law enforcement, this is not a general police department budget. This is money that is received from the federal government, from three drug seizures that our officers have been a part of. Revenues are uncertain, so the only thing that we know that we can count on is the interest.

[30:32] But any revenues that do come in are going to be in addition to this budget.

[30:39] We will be starting off this fiscal year with $17,093.

[30:45] We're projecting 500 in revenues for a total revenues of $17,593.

[30:56] We, since we, our officers are now, we have some officers that are more involved with

[31:04] FBI drug operations.

[31:07] I did put more expenses in this upcoming budget than in the previous one.

[31:12] So I have $7,000 in expenditures shown, but we can always do budget amendments.

[31:20] If that turns out to be a different number, but that will leave us with an ending cash of $10,593.

[31:30] I have a question for the Chief. Yes, ma'am.

[31:33] What's the number? How many? How many do you have involved?

[31:37] Because I thought it was like two.

[31:45] And

[31:48] because our officers often work in conjunction with other agencies, we don't necessarily

[31:59] get all of the funding.

[32:01] It's split between the different agencies who work together, who are involved in these

[32:05] drug operations.

[32:14] Next fund is the 133 fund. That is the SB 2468. This is money we got for the

[32:24] Silwell Terry Road intersection from the state. And this is money that is going

[32:30] to cover our match for another grant that's going to help us with the Silwell

[32:38] interior road, intersection widening. We're looking at starting FY27 with beginning cash of $520,000,000, $348,000.

[32:49] We're projecting $12,000 in revenues. That's just interest on the account. So that makes a total of $532,348.

[32:59] dollars. We do expect to spend every penny of that in this upcoming fiscal year, so that

[33:06] will leave a net of zero.

[33:11] It took longer than expected to get the ball rolling because

[33:15] of the difficulty we had getting easements, but now that we are on track to be able to

[33:20] this done,

[33:23] you know, 2027 will be the year.

[33:26] Are there any questions on that one?

[33:31] Yes, absolutely.

[33:36] The 200 fund is a general obligation bond and interest fund.

[33:43] This was from back in 2012.

[33:49] We are beginning the year with beginning cash of $556,517.

[34:01] We project between Atelorum taxes and state-shared revenues and interest, we're projecting a total

[34:10] revenues of $343,300, so that will make a total of $899,817. The only expenditures on this

[34:22] account are debt service, so this is the bond payments and the bond agent fees that we have

[34:32] to pay in order to pay for this bond. So total expenditures, $324,180, so our net at the

[34:45] end of FY27 will be $575,637. Any questions on that one?

[35:00] All right, the $215 fund, that

[35:02] That is the Byram Town Center 2017 TIF bond budget.

[35:11] We are beginning the year with $740,807 beginning cash.

[35:18] We're looking at revenues from adfelorum taxes, sales tax from the TIF district, and we

[35:27] also have an interlocal agreement with Heinz County where they give us a portion of the

[35:31] sales taxes. So total revenues are projected to be $593,379. That will leave us with a total

[35:43] revenues of $1,334,186. The only expenditures are a debt service, $472,468. So our net revenues

[35:59] less expenditures will be $861,719.

[36:07] Any questions on that one?

[36:15] The 220 fund is a sewer revenue bond that

[36:18] we took out in 2018. We have beginning cash of 313,400 and $455. The transfer from sewer that you see

[36:31] in the revenue news line is every month we transfer money so that because this is a once-a-year

[36:39] payment, so we just do a transfer every month, it's been $32,000 a month. This coming year,

[36:45] I'm going to up it to $34,000 a month to make sure that we have enough to cover that annual

[36:52] payment and still keep enough in the fund. So projected revenues of $427,000 for a total of

[37:02] $740,455 total expenditures. That is just the debt service. $348,356 is what we will be left with.

[37:18] The

[37:24] next fund is the $2.25 fund.

[37:27] This is Phase 3.

[37:29] This is an $800,000 bond that we got for the TIFF District Phase 3.

[37:36] And this is a brand new fund.

[37:39] We have beginning cash of $141,125.

[37:44] We're projecting revenues of $245,241.

[37:49] dollars. These revenues come from Advalorem taxes and sales tax and some Heinz County and

[37:56] our local funds for the businesses that are in that part of the TIF district. That makes

[38:05] our total revenues $386,366. The only expenditures are the TIF bond payment, payment and interest,

[38:17] which is $104,395 next year, that will leave us an ending balance of $281,971.

[38:29] Any questions on that one?

[38:34] All right, the 260 fund is another brand new fund.

[38:38] This is our fire rebate budget. Brand new this year, they made the requirement that we have this money and a separate fund.

[38:46] The beginning cash is the $88,355 that we just received last week for the fire insurance premium

[38:58] rebate. We typically don't receive the money until the very end of the fiscal year, but that

[39:05] does mean it'll sit earning a little bit of interest until we get the next one next year. We're hoping

[39:11] to get 90,000 next year because it typically goes up in small increments so that will give us

[39:18] total revenues by the end of FY27 of $181,000 and $55. We do not plan on having any expenditures in

[39:29] this next fiscal year because we want this to build up as much as it can to help us pay for a new

[39:35] new ladder truck.

[39:39] Right. So our ending balance should be $181,055.

[39:54] The 304 fund, this is the

[39:57] old Byron Road Bridge budget. Of course it's not going to be finished in FY26, so the budget has

[40:05] bill over to 27. We will start the fiscal year with beginning cash of $1,704,819.

[40:17] It's not going to be

[40:18] in the bank long enough because that project is moving on, but we're projecting $3,000 in

[40:25] interest, so that'll be total revenues of $1,707,819 and we plan on spending every penny of it

[40:36] as we finish the old Byron Road bridge this year.

[40:47] The 315 fund is the other phase two of the

[40:51] TIFF bond budget. We have beginning cash of $107,510. We're projecting revenues from adfelorium taxes,

[41:01] is sales tax and interest of $229,656 to make total revenues of $337,166.

[41:13] Total expenditures on the TIFF bond payment for FY27 will be $114,000, so that leaves a net

[41:21] of $223,167.

[41:25] dollars.

[41:32] Another new fund, the 340 fund, this is the SB 2189 drainage improvements fund. We have

[41:40] not actually received this money yet, but we have promised it. Unfortunately, they will not allow

[41:46] me to take that giant six foot check to the bank that they presented us with.

[41:54] But so we are showing SB 21 89 revenues of $850,000, $15,000 of interest on that money

[42:08] for a total of $865,000.

[42:11] I've allocated $103,500 to contract services for engineering fees and that leaves $761,500

[42:25] for capital outlay for the drainage projects at Barrington, Alexandria Drive and Windmill

[42:34] drive, so that between those three projects will spend that whole $865,000 and there will

[42:43] be nothing left in this fund.

[42:47] I'm sorry, you said that Alexander was a lesson.

[42:50] Barrington, Alexandria, and Windmill.

[43:00] The 600 fund is the unemployment budget.

[43:04] We have beginning cash at $51,349.

[43:08] dollars. The only revenues we're projecting is interest because this fund is fully funded.

[43:16] We don't have to take contributions from the general fund or from sewer, so that makes

[43:25] total revenues of $52,849.

[43:31] We always put a small number on projected claims. I mean, really

[43:37] there's no way to anticipate, you know, how that's going to work, but we've been pretty accurate

[43:46] so far. So, total expenditures of $1,750 that leaves an ending balance of $51,099.

[44:01] Next, we come to the Sewer Enterprise Fund. This is the budget that our Sewer Department

[44:10] is funded by sewer bills.

[44:14] We have a beginning balance of $852,289.

[44:22] We're projecting $2,354,700 in billing,

[44:31] 19,000 in interest, and $2,200 in other revenue.

[44:36] for total revenues of $2,375,900.

[44:44] Expenditures, we have personal services of $246,932.

[44:52] Supplies of $240,950.

[44:56] Contract services of $1,100,000.

[45:00] $554,520, debt service of $517,142. Capital outlay. I have $600,000 in here. This is what I believe

[45:20] the hope is that we can start on rehabbing some of our pump stations. We have some that

[45:27] are desperately in need of some love.

[45:32] Transfers, that is the money that we transfer out to the general fund to pay for the sewer revenue bond.

[45:39] That's 420,000. That's 34,000 a month.

[45:43] We do not have a reserve fund specifically in the sewer department.

[45:48] That makes total expenditures $3,179,544.

[45:54] dollars. In summary, when you take our beginning balance and our revenues, that makes a total of

[46:02] 3,228,189 dollars. In total expenditures, we have 3,179,544 dollars. That leaves an ending balance

[46:17] of $48,645. That is all of our budgets for FY 26, 27. We have a general fund tax

[46:47] service. We believe that we can keep that as it is for now, that we do not need to raise

[46:56] taxes this year in order to accomplish what we want to do for the city. So I do need

[47:05] to get the budget itself will not be voted on for another week. But we do have to adopt

[47:13] the tax millage rate night so if somebody can make a motion to adopt the

[47:19] millage rate.

[47:24] Second by Ms. Johnson. Okay, yes. Okay, let's say it's no way to

[47:31] Mr. Amos. Yes, Ms. Magne. Yes, you've got to say something. I just want to see if there was

[47:37] in the public who wanted to be hard. Thank you. You want to be hard tonight, ma'am?

[47:46] Are you enjoying this? Okay.

[47:51] Is it related to the budget of the tax levy?

[47:57] Okay. Let's do it for me.

[48:02] Yeah, let me let's do this, yeah, so okay, I was that thank you. I think I call to you miss miss miss miss gives how you vote, yes, Mr. Carson, yes, and miss out. Thank you. Okay.

[48:17] And it's honest, there's no one participating online.

[48:22] Yeah, there's no way, man. I'm not the mayor. Obviously, but did you want to be hard? This is a public hearing for the budget and levy.

[48:34] You might want to come up.

[48:42] Well, yeah, you ma'am. There's people out there that can blow around. Yes. People live in. We fall for these microphones.

[48:50] You're going to use the holding. Well, you stand back and they'll pick you up.

[48:56] Okay.

[48:57] And if that's the recipe, I'll buy it.

[49:00] Okay.

[49:00] Make sure it's out there.

[49:01] Name a list.

[49:02] Okay.

[49:03] Joyce Lennon Collins, J-O-Y-C-E-L-Y-N.

[49:08] Collins, C-O-L-L-L-I-N-S.

[49:11] So I was just curious,

[49:13] because I was kind of looking back

[49:15] for a U-hour discussion budget.

[49:17] I know there's been a lot of discussion

[49:20] with the water bill.

[49:21] And just curious.

[49:23] Um, were we happy one?

[49:25] Yeah.

[49:26] Very good place to feel yet.

[49:28] Uh, we still got our wastewater and we have a deal.

[49:31] It's a day about our people took care of it and saved us a pile of money, which will make a big difference.

[49:36] But to answer your question, the, um, judge, the federal judge shut that waterboard down, which I really didn't really.

[49:44] I didn't know what that was going to help or not, but it was a step in the right way.

[49:47] Oh, so we don't get past that, but as far as right now, I don't know.

[49:50] And we are supposed to meet with them. I'm thinking next week.

[49:54] Yeah, we want to get past the budget. And they won't go up to us.

[50:00] And we won't talk to the problem down there. We've got to get worked out.

[50:04] Because I know it's such an issue.

[50:06] This is a place where I'm talking about now.

[50:08] Catch you with the waste water. Yeah. We're just talking about the water.

[50:11] Be a period since they're wanting to go up. And I know it's.

[50:15] I was saying I think I don't know how long ago where you said it may be

[50:19] Approximately 20 to 26 million. It will cost even a sandwich in the systems. Maybe I don't know how long ago

[50:25] That's we did make some we've had people do some research on it. We know what we're gonna need to do

[50:31] But it's not settled. Yeah, and um, yeah, I don't really know what to do. I was like I would hate to leave

[50:41] I just because they keep open

[50:44] No, it's not, you know, yeah, it's just one of them deals that if you went up

[50:49] Okay, we've had a problem on Sunday. I was frank. Oh, so I will road and we they just keep messing with that

[50:54] You look better. I went through it yesterday just make sure it's home pretty good

[50:58] But where they fix that by yeah big mess. We've been mess with it for three weeks

[51:02] It's not right. We've won our own water. I think it's gonna happen. I think the court will go with this. Okay. I love barbecue
