00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:32,468 relying on private 1113 00:38:32,468 --> 00:38:33,669 developers because you all 1114 00:38:33,669 --> 00:38:35,638 wanted to create something 1115 00:38:35,638 -->

00:39:06,403 Center cal, when picked we 1136 00:39:06,403 --> 00:39:07,938 were hopeful because they 1137 00:39:07,938 --> 00:39:09,505 said that they would engage 1138 00:39:09,505 --> 00:39:10,941 with the community but we 1139 00:39:10,941 --> 00:39:11,541 feel let down by that 1140 00:39:11,541 --> 00:39:13,541 community engagement. 1141 00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:15,611 They have not

00:39:23,286 You know, the gratton casino 1146 00:39:23,286 --> 00:39:23,953 and hotel as many mentioned, 1147 00:39:23,953 --> 00:39:25,955 great example of the project 1148 00:39:25,955 --> 00:39:26,689 that the developers did 1149 00:39:26,689 --> 00:39:28,240 really collaborate with the 1150 00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:30,327 community and with labor and 1151 00:39:30,327 --> 00:39:32,727 created a project that 1152 00:39:33,596 --> 00:39:35,498 lifted up rohnert park and 1153 00:39:35,498 --> 00:39:36,766 sonoma county as a whole. 1154 00:39:36,766 --> 00:39:38,501 Shared prosperity. 1155 00:39:38,501 --> 00:39:40,703 We want this project to 1156 00:39:40,703 --> 00:39:41,704 follow in gratton's 1157 00:39:41,704 --> 00:39:44,700 footsteps but concerned as 1158 00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:45,508 you enter into this with 1159 00:39:45,508 --> 00:39:48,508 center cal, what will happen 1160 00:39:48,712 --> 00:39:50,279 if center cal doesn't change 1161 00:39:50,279 --> 00:39:53,279 direction and don't want to 1162 00:39:53,450 --> 00:39:54,884 do a project in alignment 1163 00:39:54,884 --> 00:39:56,520 with rohnert park values? 1164 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:56,820 What will happen down the 1165 00:39:56,820 --> 00:39:58,540 road? 1166 00:39:58,540 --> 00:39:59,556 In addition to that, we want 1167 00:39:59,556 --> 00:40:02,125 to, you know, agree with the 1168 00:40:02,125 --> 00:40:03,692 building trades that a lease 1169 00:40:03,692 --> 00:40:06,620 would be a better option for 1170 00:40:06,620 --> 00:40:07,497 this property and that right 1171 00:40:07,497 --> 00:40:08,931 now, the negotiating 1172 00:40:08,931 --> 00:40:10,433 agreement includes some 1173 00:40:10,433 --> 00:40:11,535 language and I'm not sure if 1174 00:40:11,535 --> 00:40:13,403 this is even the intention 1175 00:40:13,403 --> 00:40:15,138 that appears to close off 1176 00:40:15,138 --> 00:40:18,138 the possibility of a lease 1177 00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:22,900 in paragraph 3a, where it 1178 00:40:22,178 --> 00:40:22,778 refers to one of the 1179 00:40:22,778 --> 00:40:24,778 deliverables is talking 1180 00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:26,483 about the, how they would

the property. 1185 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:31,921 So we would ask that be 1186 00:40:31,921 --> 00:40:33,223 changed to clarify and make 1187 00:40:33,223 --> 00:40:36,292 sure that a lease is still 1188 00:40:36,292 --> 00:40:37,494 on the table because as 1189 00:40:37,494 --> 00:40:39,696 mentioned, that allow the 1190 00:40:39,696 --> 00:40:41,798 city more control and more 1191 00:40:41,798 --> 00:40:42,132 sustainable financial 1192 00:40:42,132 --> 00:40:43,900 future. 1193 00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:45,102 So you know, again, as you 1194 00:40:45,102 --> 00:40:46,350 negotiate this term

00:42:02,379 We can see the positive 1243 00:42:02,379 --> 00:42:02,779 effect that has had on the 1244 00:42:02,779 --> 00:42:04,448 community. 1245 00:42:04,448 --> 00:42:06,820 We seen the jobs,

--> 01:33:13,910 findings. 2558 01:33:13,910 --> 01:33:15,110 We have financial internal 2559 01:33:15,110 --> 01:33:17,110 control issues. 2560 01:33:18,582 --> 01:33:20,217 We had a material weakness 2561 01:33:20,217 --> 01:33:22,850 that's because we had a thra 2562 01:33:22,850 --> 01:33:23,253 in our bank reconciliation. 2563 01:33:23,253 --> 01:33:24,454 We were behind in a couple 2564 01:33:24,454 --> 01:33:26,454 of years. 2565 01:33:28,572 --> 01:33:28,874 Generally that happens when 2566 01:33:28,874 --> 01:33:29,850 you implement a new finance 2567 01:33:29,850 --> 01:33:30,727 system. 2568 01:33:30,727 --> 01:33:31,228 There's a lot of movement 2569 01:33:31,228 --> 01:33:32,796 that happens. 2570 01:33:32,796 --> 01:33:34,965 You have to convert from the 2571 01:33:34,965 --> 01:33:38,168 old system to the new system 2572 01:33:38,168 --> 01:33:40,103 and it's not uncommon it's 2573 01:33:40,103 --> 01:33:40,671 unfortunate but we have 2574 01:33:40,671 --> 01:33:42,671 caught up. 2575 01:33:45,576 --> 01:33:47,780 But we do continue to have 2576 01:33:47,780 --> 01:33:49,780 the funding. 2577 01:33:50,810 --> 01:33:53,681 They also found we had some 2578 01:33:54,651 --> 01:33:56,920 issues with accuracy and 2579 01:33:56,920 --> 01:33:58,289 reporting which resulted in 2580 01:33:58,289 --> 01:33:58,689 very large audit 2581 01:33:58,689 --> 01:34:00,324 adjustments. 2582 01:34:00,324 --> 01:34:02,260 We've reviewed them. 2583 01:34:02,260 --> 01:34:03,827 We've been very carefully 2584 01:34:03,827 --> 01:34:05,963 looking at our financials 2585 01:34:05,963 --> 01:34:07,731 and making those 2586 01:34:07,731 --> 01:34:09,199 adjustments. 2587 01:34:09,199 --> 01:34:11,335 The other finding that we 2588 01:34:11,335 --> 01:34:13,300 had there was a delay in 2589 01:34:13,300 --> 01:34:15,300 financial reporting. 2590 01:34:15,239 --> 01:34:17,174 So there was a delay in the 2591 01:34:17,174 --> 01:34:19,574 preparation and the issuance 2592 01:34:22,460 --> 01:34:24,460 of the cafr. 2593 01:34:25,382 --> 01:34:26,817 Here I am in OCTOBER. 2594 01:34:26,817 --> 01:34:28,817 Generally they're completed 2595 01:34:35,326 --> 01:34:37,195 by the end of DECEMBER. 2596 01:34:37,195 --> 01:34:38,896 So there was also a 2597 01:34:38,896 --> 01:34:40,640 significant efficiency in 2598 01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:41,431 untimely project and 2599 01:34:41,431 --> 01:34:43,431 expenditure reports. 2600 01:34:46,603 --> 01:34:47,370 so we had two late quarterly 2601 01:34:47,370 --> 01:34:49,370 report. 2602 01:34:49,340 --> 01:34:52,940 One was three days late and 2603 01:34:52,976 --> 01:34:54,144 the other one was 25 days 2604 01:34:54,144 --> 01:34:56,144 late. 2605 01:34:57,480 --> 01:35:00,480 And we had some staff 2606 01:35:00,718 --> 01:35:02,718 turnover. 2607 01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:05,456 So we did have the agreed 2608 01:35:05,456 --> 01:35:06,758 upon procedures and there 2609 01:35:06,758 --> 01:35:08,593 was no exceptions to that 2610 01:35:08,593 --> 01:35:11,328 report and I presented to 2611 01:35:11,328 --> 01:35:14,928 you back when we did the 2612 01:35:17,735 --> 01:35:19,704 budget. 2613 01:35:19,704 --> 01:35:21,706 So now I'm going to move on 2614 01:35:21,706 --> 01:35:23,640 to the financial highlights 2615 01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:24,375 and the first thing I want 2616 01:35:24,375 --> 01:35:26,410 to explain to you that the 2617 01:35:26,410 --> 01:35:28,245 general fund is the main 2618 01:35:28,245 --> 01:35:30,645 operating account for the 2619 01:35:32,550 --> 01:35:35,419 city and it's used for 2620 01:35:35,419 --> 01:35:37,819 accounted all resources not 2621 01:35:43,227 --> 01:35:44,962 accounted in another fund. 2622 01:35:44,962 --> 01:35:47,832 Now we're going to look at 2623 01:35:47,832 --> 01:35:49,701 the general fund revenue. 2624 01:35:49,701 --> 01:35:53,104 Here we have a pie chart 2625 01:35:53,104 --> 01:35:56,104 that shows the revenue that 2626 01:35:56,674 --> 01:35:58,674 make 52.9 general fund 2627 01:36:01,780 --> 01:36:02,130 revenues received in 22-23. 2628 01:36:02,130 --> 01:36:04,130 32 2629 01:36:04,582 --> 01:36:06,170 $32.2 million were derived 2630 01:36:06,170 --> 01:36:08,190 from taxes which includes 2631 01:36:08,190 --> 01:36:10,419 the property taxes of $12 2632 01:36:11,890 --> 01:36:12,123 million or 22.7% that's the 2633 01:36:12,123 --> 01:36:14,123 light green. 2634 01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:17,960 Sales tax of $15.6 million 2635 01:36:19,331 --> 01:36:22,331 or 29.5% in the light red 2636 01:36:22,433 --> 01:36:24,833 and the transient occupancy 2637 01:36:27,939 --> 01:36:29,939 tax of $4.8 million. 2638 01:36:30,608 --> 01:36:32,476 The next two largest are 2639 01:36:32,476 --> 01:36:33,778 enter 2640 01:36:33,778 --> 01:36:35,613 intergovernmental the light 2641 01:36:35,613 --> 01:36:38,316 red and charges for services 2642 01:36:38,316 --> 01:36:40,716 at $5.3 million and that's 2643 01:36:43,540 --> 01:36:45,454 in the dark blue. 2644 01:36:45,656 --> 01:36:49,256 So on his chart we compare 2645 01:36:50,328 --> 01:36:52,728 the fiscal year 2023 actual 2646 01:36:54,198 --> 01:36:56,467 revenues to '22 actual 2647 01:36:56,467 --> 01:36:59,467 revenues that show that the 2648 01:36:59,604 --> 01:36:59,870 total revenue. 2649 01:36:59,870 --> 01:37:01,870 Over 2650 01:37:04,420 --> 01:37:06,442 overall revenues were down 2651 01:37:14,653 --> 01:37:15,286 1% over fl 21-22. 2652 01:37:15,286 --> 01:37:16,121 21-22. 2653 01:37:16,121 --> 01:37:16,821 I

2663 01:37:35,207 --> 01:37:36,341 Ade in the 2664 01:37:36,341 --> 01:37:38,420 motor vec 2665 01:37:38,420 --> 01:37:39,760 hicle license 2666 01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:41,760 revenue. 2667

01:38:00,290 distribution. 2671 01:38:00,165 --> 01:38:01,933 So when you have internet 2672 01:38:01,933 --> 01:38:03,000 sales they don't 2673 01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:04,200 specifically identify

01:38:09,507 --> 01:38:11,176 It goes into a pool and then 2678 01:38:11,176 --> 01:38:14,279 we get a percentage of that 2679 01:38:14,279 --> 01:38:17,182 pool and that's the dollars 2680 01:38:17,182 --> 01:38:19,182 I'm talking about. 2681 01:38:20,819 --> 01:38:23,219 Transient occupancy tax was 2682 01:38:31,997 --> 01:38:33,198 down about that 1%. 2683 01:38:33,198 -->

--> 01:43:02,902 Nearly all of reductions in 2783 01:43:02,902 --> 01:43:04,902 capital outlay. 2784 01:43:05,971 --> 01:43:07,971 The $12.7 million reduction 2785 01:43:07,974 --> 01:43:10,374 of general government is 2786 01:43:11,377 --> 01:43:13,777 mainly atrittable to fiscal 2787 01:43:16,480 --> 01:43:19,648 year 21-22 we did a large 2788 01:43:20,219 --> 01:43:23,219 pay down in her PERs. 2789 01:43:23,823 --> 01:43:25,725 So it caused our next year's 2790 01:43:25,725 --> 01:43:27,126 expenditures to go down 2791 01:43:27,126 --> 01:43:28,270 because we did not have that 2792 01:43:28,270 --> 01:43:30,270 large expenditure. 2793 01:43:31,230 --> 01:43:33,366 The pay down flulted 2794 01:43:33,366 --> 01:43:35,366 employee p echlt 2795 01:43:35,468 --> 01:43:36,469 er 2796 01:43:36,469 --> 01:43:38,469 PERs. 2797 01:43:38,604 --> 01:43:41,400 That's the benefit being 2798 01:43:42,209 --> 01:43:42,641 able to make those pay 2799 01:43:42,641 --> 01:43:44,641 downs. 2800 01:43:45,845 --> 01:43:48,114 in addition $5.3 million of 2801 01:43:48,114 --> 01:43:49,916 public works, public 2802 01:43:49,916 --> 01:43:51,916 operational utilities. 2803 01:43:52,552 --> 01:43:53,753 Ban kirning, insurance. 2804 01:43:53,753 --> 01:43:55,753 Worker compensation costs 2805 01:43:58,858 --> 01:43:59,492 and cost allocation werek, insurance. 2806 01:43:59,492 --> 01:44:00,326 Worker compensation costs 2807 01:44:00,326 --> 01:44:00,960 and cost allocation werein, insurance. 2808 01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:01,794 Worker compensation costs 2809 01:44:01,794 -->

01:44:12,338 the way it works in 2813 01:44:12,338 --> 01:44:13,740 government when you have a 2814 01:44:13,740 --> 01:44:15,308 reimbursement it is a 2815 01:44:15,308 --> 01:44:17,243 reduction of your cost. 2816 01:44:17,243 --> 01:44:19,412 And so we changed that from 2817 01:44:19,412 --> 01:44:20,613 being a reduction in our 2818 01:44:20,613 --> 01:44:21,948 cost to transferring the 2819

costs it increased costs 2823 01:44:30,357 --> 01:44:30,724 because it became a 2824 01:44:30,724 --> 01:44:32,724 transfer. 2825 01:44:33,260 --> 01:44:34,528 You're going to hear this 2826

also had a $3.7 million 2830 01:44:43,837 --> 01:44:45,405 increase in contracted costs 2831 01:44:45,405 --> 01:44:47,107 to contract with the 2832 01:44:47,107 --> 01:44:49,107 unhoused population. 2833 01:44:50,109 --> 01:44:51,678 These were offset by grant 2834 01:44:51,678 --> 01:44:53,678 funding and donations. 2835 01:44:54,460 --> 01:44:54,714 There was 700 2836 01:44:54,714 --> 01:44:56,714 $700,000 increase 2837 01:44:58,284 --> 01:45:00,520 in wages and benefits. 2838 01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:02,856 The $1 million decrease in 2839 01:45:02,856 --> 01:45:05,256 public safety over fiscal 2840 01:45:05,291 --> 01:45:08,195 year 21-22 were mainly due 2841 01:45:08,195 --> 01:45:10,595 to a $2.9 million reduction 2842 01:45:12,299 --> 01:45:14,834 in the utility banking being

And then $1.5 million was 2847 01:45:22,750 --> 01:45:24,177 because of the reimbursement 2848 01:45:24,177 --> 01:45:25,878 where instead of it being a 2849 01:45:25,878 --> 01:45:26,947 negative cost it became a 2850 01:45:26,947 --> 01:45:28,947 positive cost. 2851 01:45:29,682 --> 01:45:31,718 >> I'm sorry, can you plain 2852 01:45:31,718 --> 01:45:34,988 that in a way that somebody 2853

01:45:48,936 --> 01:45:49,936 is to double count costs. 2861 01:45:49,936 --> 01:45:51,805 >> okay. 2862 01:45:51,805 --> 01:45:53,340 >> the way you do that when 2863 01:45:53,340 --> 01:45:55,676

2867 01:46:03,951 --> 01:46:06,286 in program a, is but program 2868 01:46:06,286 --> 01:46:09,189 b paid for those costs up 2869 01:46:09,189 --> 01:46:11,625 front, what you do is charge 2870

01:48:09,443 --> 01:48:11,443 were centralized. 2926 01:48:13,947 --> 01:48:16,347 And then $600,000 costs were 2927 01:48:18,152 --> 01:48:21,355 removed from the pac to the 2928 01:48:21,355 --> 01:48:23,355 operating expenses. 2929 01:48:23,957 --> 01:48:25,792 So now the cultural arts 2930 01:48:25,792 --> 01:48:27,792 piece of that. 2931 01:48:28,762 --> 01:48:30,431 They had -- so just to 2932 01:48:30,431 --> 01:48:33,167 offset so they had a 2933 01:48:33,167 --> 01:48:35,167 decrease of $600,000. 2934 01:48:35,669 --> 01:48:36,804 And that is mainly due to 2935 01:48:36,804 --> 01:48:38,804 transferring for salaries 2936 01:48:39,390 --> 01:48:41,575 and been foyts to community 2937 01:48:41,575 --> 01:48:45,175 services as I just told you 2938 01:48:50,718 --> 01:48:52,718 about. 2939 01:48:53,421 --> 01:48:55,421 That was $4.5 million. 2940 01:48:56,290 --> 01:48:57,925 Offset by a $400,000 in 2941 01:48:57,925 --> 01:48:59,761 vehicle purchases in fiscal 2942 01:48:59,761 --> 01:49:01,761 year 22-23. 2943 01:49:03,998 --> 01:49:05,466 And $300,000 net increase n 2944 01:49:05,466 --> 01:49:06,166 capitalizable equipment 2945 01:49:06,166 --> 01:49:08,166 purchase. 2946 01:49:08,302 --> 01:49:10,702 Debt service principle went 2947 01:49:11,339 --> 01:49:14,939 down slightly due to a pay 2948 01:49:17,578 --> 01:49:18,446 off to one of the pg echlt 2949 01:49:18,446 --> 01:49:20,446 e. 2950 01:49:21,349 --> 01:49:23,500 but that one has been paid 2951 01:49:23,500 --> 01:49:25,500 off. 2952 01:49:25,319 --> 01:49:27,422 So now you've seen the 2953 01:49:27,422 --> 01:49:29,822 revenues and expenditures we 2954 01:49:30,324 --> 01:49:30,725 can show the results on 2955 01:49:30,725 --> 01:49:32,725 operations. 2956 01:49:33,827 --> 01:49:36,827 And so we had $52.9 million 2957 01:49:37,465 --> 01:49:39,465 in revenues. 2958 01:49:40,934 --> 01:49:41,603 52. 2959 01:49:41,603 --> 01:49:43,400 52. 2960 01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:45,400 $52.1 million. 2961 01:49:46,740 --> 01:49:49,674 And that result left us with 2962 01:49:50,378 --> 01:49:52,778 a net increase of $5.9 2963 01:49:58,119 --> 01:49:59,787 million. 2964 01:49:59,787 --> 01:50:01,489 So here this is the chart 2965 01:50:01,489 --> 01:50:02,824 that's going to show you 2966 01:50:02,824 --> 01:50:05,224 general fund budget to 2967 01:50:06,361 --> 01:50:08,295 actual and I want to point 2968 01:50:08,295 --> 01:50:09,830 out an error that was made 2969 01:50:09,830 --> 01:50:12,320 in the financial report. 2970 01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:13,835 I did make a last minute 2971 01:50:13,835 --> 01:50:15,203 change to this chart. 2972 01:50:15,203 --> 01:50:16,838 Your powerpoint has 2973 01:50:16,838 --> 01:50:19,238 different numbers on it. 2974 01:50:19,374 --> 01:50:21,676 We did identify the issue 2975 01:50:21,676 --> 01:50:22,770 and got this chart 2976 01:50:22,770 --> 01:50:24,770 corrected. 2977 01:50:24,979 --> 01:50:27,810 So this is going to show us 2978 01:50:27,810 --> 01:50:28,449 the original budget the 2979 01:50:28,449 --> 01:50:29,851 final budget the actual 2980 01:50:29,851 --> 01:50:32,251 amount spent and the 2981 01:50:32,553 --> 01:50:35,256 variance in the final budget 2982 01:50:35,256 --> 01:50:37,656 to the actual amounts. 2983 01:50:37,726 --> 01:50:40,126 So actual revenues compared 2984 01:50:45,466 --> 01:50:46,567 to final budget was $5.2 2985 01:50:46,567 --> 01:50:48,567 million because we 2986 01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:53,400 recognized a grant that has 2987 01:50:54,209 --> 01:50:54,609 not been in the budget last 2988 01:50:54,609 --> 01:50:56,609 year. 2989 01:50:56,845 --> 01:50:59,280 When the money came in it 2990 01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:01,680 was deferred revenue because 2991 01:51:02,550 --> 01:51:03,885 we haven't done the things 2992 01:51:03,885 --> 01:51:06,287 we needed to do in order to 2993 01:51:06,287 --> 01:51:08,289 call the mope our own. 2994 01:51:08,289 --> 01:51:10,525 Once we met those we were 2995 01:51:10,525 --> 01:51:12,925 able to recognize that 2996 01:51:23,437 --> 01:51:25,437 revenue. 2997 01:51:26,440 --> 01:51:28,376 So we also had $1.5 million 2998 01:51:28,376 --> 01:51:29,978 in taxes. 2999 01:51:29,978 --> 01:51:31,379 There was a $1 million 3000 01:51:31,379 --> 01:51:32,413 decrease in developer 3001 01:51:32,413 --> 01:51:34,382 revenue. 3002 01:51:34,382 --> 01:51:35,783 And a 700 3003 01:51:35,783 --> 01:51:37,719 $700,000 on investment 3004 01:51:37,719 --> 01:51:40,188 income because of the fair 3005 01:51:40,188 --> 01:51:43,910 market value I told you 3006 01:51:43,910 --> 01:51:44,993 about previously. 3007 01:51:44,993 --> 01:51:46,993 Actual expenditures were 3008 01:51:47,696 --> 01:51:48,930 lower by actual budget by 3009 01:51:48,930 --> 01:51:50,930 $7.8 million. 3010 01:51:51,320 --> 01:51:53,320 That was 2. 3011 01:51:53,234 --> 01:51:54,235 $2.1 million in 3012 01:51:54,235 --> 01:51:56,204 development services 3013 01:51:56,204 --> 01:51:58,730 savings. 3014 01:51:58,730 --> 01:51:58,440 $1.3 million in public 3015 01:51:58,440 --> 01:52:00,440 works. 3016

the next two slides will 3020 01:52:14,189 --> 01:52:16,892 show us all of the 3021 01:52:16,892 --> 01:52:18,159 categories at JUNE 30th. 3022 01:52:18,159 --> 01:52:19,761 Others we have assigned 3023 01:52:19,761 --> 01:52:22,161 based on our current 3024 01:52:22,297 --> 01:52:23,265 policies and listening to 3025 01:52:23,265 --> 01:52:25,265 council concerns. 3026 01:52:25,834 --> 01:52:27,736 These amounts are simply 3027 01:52:27,736 --> 01:52:30,736 assigned and can be easily 3028 01:52:31,306 --> 01:52:32,340 redirected if the council so 3029 01:52:32,340 --> 01:52:34,340

set those oneys 3034 01:53:14,282 --> 01:53:15,884 aside until we could send 3035 01:53:15,884 --> 01:53:16,719 those moneys over to the 3036 01:53:16,719 --> 01:53:18,719 senior center. 3037

infrastructure reserve 3048 01:53:41,100 --> 01:53:43,579 if there's any funds left 3049 01:53:43,579 --> 01:53:46,181 after we do the calculations 3050 01:53:46,181 --> 01:53:48,583 and the

02:05:12,671 --> 02:05:14,472 what we'll be looking at is 3346 02:05:14,472 --> 02:05:16,207 our revenues less our 3347 02:05:16,207 --> 02:05:18,207 expenditures and that 3348 02:05:19,210 --> 02:05:21,213 difference will go into our 3349 02:05:21,213 --> 02:05:23,348 unassigned fund balance and 3350 02:05:23,348 --> 02:05:25,490 then I would be looking at 3351 02:05:25,490 --> 02:05:27,449 them and redistributing per 3352 02:05:27,718 --> 02:05:30,718 your policy across the item. 3353 02:05:31,222 --> 02:05:33,910 If there -- if the 3354 02:05:33,910 --> 02:05:35,491 expenditures do exceed the 3355 02:05:35,893 --> 02:05:38,960 rev nudes then we would do 3356 02:05:38,960 --> 02:05:39,965 we would adjust these 3357 02:05:39,965 --> 02:05:42,600 numbers so that we are still 3358 02:05:42,600 --> 02:05:44,600 in alignment. 3359 02:05:44,936 --> 02:05:46,737 But I don't anticipate that. 3360 02:05:46,737 --> 02:05:49,474 The biggest thing you have 3361 02:05:49,474 --> 02:05:52,944 to look at the next year's 3362 02:05:52,944 --> 02:05:54,746 budget because -- let's see 3363 02:05:54,746 --> 02:05:56,782 the operating reserve and 3364 02:05:56,782 --> 02:05:58,782 the contingency reserve 3365 02:05:59,284 --> 02:06:00,618 those numbers we have to 3366 02:06:00,618 --> 02:06:02,820 recalculate them and that's 3367 02:06:02,820 --> 02:06:04,923 the first number that we do. 3368 02:06:04,923 --> 02:06:06,525 That's the first draw on 3369 02:06:06,525 --> 02:06:08,493 those balances and the rest 3370 02:06:08,493 --> 02:06:09,994 of optional if there are 3371 02:06:09,994 --> 02:06:11,994 funds left. 3372 02:06:12,196 --> 02:06:14,899 But that would be the first 3373 02:06:14,899 --> 02:06:16,134 thing I would be looking at. 3374 02:06:16,134 --> 02:06:18,504 I don't believe I've seen 3375 02:06:18,504 --> 02:06:20,905 anything that would lead me 3376 02:06:20,905 --> 02:06:23,775 to believe we're not going 3377 02:06:23,775 --> 02:06:25,777 to add to fund balance. 3378 02:06:25,777 --> 02:06:28,180 >> maybe mayor if I MAY part 3379 02:06:28,180 --> 02:06:31,249 of the reason if you MAY 3380 02:06:31,249 --> 02:06:33,285 recall these two
