1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,980
The mayor's thought he might have to call me to get me here at 5, but I made it on my own. So anyway, we are here. This is a regular meeting of the Consumnance Community Service District Board.

2
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:20,140
It's broadcast via live stream. I'd like to watch it sometime on it. You can somebody show me how to do that. I'm not sure I know how.

3
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,780
I would like to remind those in attendance a police turn off your cell phones.

4
00:00:26,140 --> 00:00:30,500
Before I call the first item of the regular meeting, I'd like to report that we had a special

5
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:30,760
meeting.

6
00:00:31,060 --> 00:00:32,320
We did not have a special meeting.

7
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:34,800
We have one coming up on the 12th.

8
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:37,040
Clerk, can you call the first item, please?

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,000
Yes, thank you.

10
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:38,700
Good evening.

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,280
Our first item is an AMA, the court order and the session broke off.

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:45,840
The record secaries.

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:54,040
The director's fees, the director's Fuentes, Vice President Utrail, President Albioni.

14
00:00:54,420 --> 00:01:03,840
Here, let the record show that the director's pieces on vacation and is not here today, but we'll be here for a special meeting on the 12th.

15
00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:12,880
As you know, we, over time, have asked community leaders to lead us in the pledge of allegiance,

16
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:20,920
with Scumson X on our agenda. And today is no different. Our Superintendent of Elk Grove Unified

17
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,580
School District is going to be our lead in the pledge of allegiance, and then we'll share

18
00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:34,180
a few words of what the school district is all about. A little bit about Chris Hoffman.

19
00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:39,460
Chris

20
00:01:39,460 --> 00:01:47,040
He taught and was an administrator, up in North and South of here, and he was hired as a superintendent here.

21
00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:52,880
He's a family man with two children, one of which I understand will be getting married here soon.

22
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,980
Raises Japanese maple, and one importantly than anything.

23
00:01:57,220 --> 00:02:05,220
I think he has been a terrific partner of the CSD and our recreation programs, which I don't believe we could run

24
00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:07,640
without the support of the school district.

25
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:08,960
In fact, I'm sure we couldn't,

26
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,800
because they do use a lot of the school grounds for events.

27
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,400
So, Chris, the floor of yours, please stand.

28
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:21,200
And if you would, after the Pledge of Allegiance,

29
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,220
I'd like to just ask you to remain standing

30
00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:28,060
for a moment of silence for the six young children,

31
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,640
three young children and three teachers

32
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,260
and administrators that were killed in Nashville.

33
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:37,660
I am a terrible shooting. Thank you.

34
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:19,510
So I appreciate him as a person and the leadership that he's provided to you.

35
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:24,870
And I do understand that you will be looking for a new general manager.

36
00:05:25,010 --> 00:05:28,530
So Josh, I wish you all the best in your next adventure.

37
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:34,210
And to the CST Board, I stand ready to provide any assistance that I can.

38
00:05:34,470 --> 00:05:36,610
As you look for your next general manager.

39
00:05:36,610 --> 00:05:44,190
enter. Big deal. I don't think I'll see him as often.

40
00:05:44,930 --> 00:05:48,950
So again, I just want to say thank you. The district greatly appreciates the relationship

41
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:53,670
that we have with the CSD, we're able to do many other things that we are able to do.

42
00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:57,530
And you're able to do the same because of that relationship. And I look forward to that continuing

43
00:05:57,530 --> 00:06:00,570
as we move forward. So thank you very much for having me.

44
00:06:00,950 --> 00:06:05,910
Thank you Chris. We appreciate you being here. And what you do with the district and the relationship

45
00:06:05,910 --> 00:06:16,160
that you and Josh and our staff have created with your staff. It wouldn't happen without the guidance from you and Josh, so we know appreciate it.

46
00:06:16,510 --> 00:06:17,550
Thank you very much.

47
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:25,920
Next item. Thank you. Our next item is I'm B and Honstments and Presentations.

48
00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:33,200
I'm B4 is the new Hires and Promotions for 2022, Q4 and 2023, Q1.

49
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,140
Fire Chief Philippe, my brother is.

50
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,380
Thank you all. Let me see. Good afternoon, President Albionni, Vice President of the

51
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:44,220
Trail, Members of the Board, Philippe Rodriguez, your fire chief. This afternoon, it's my pleasure

52
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:52,140
to introduce all of our new hires and primotis for the last two quarters here at the CST.

53
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:58,560
And it's interesting to say good afternoon since we're normally good evening. So with that we'll

54
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:05,240
ahead and show a slideshow that was created and organized by our executive assistants here

55
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,500
at the CSD and enjoy and welcome to all those who were new and or promoted.

56
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:41,740
That's it.

57
00:09:43,870 --> 00:09:48,610
Yes, President Albiani that is it and with that as you can see there are quite a bit of faces

58
00:09:48,610 --> 00:09:56,550
there, a lot of change, great additions to the team, promotions, opportunity, those are all great

59
00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:59,550
things for everyone and we should all be very, very proud of that.

60
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:01,770
Thank you for the nice presentation.

61
00:10:03,050 --> 00:10:03,990
Clerk the next item.

62
00:10:04,350 --> 00:10:04,470
Thank you.

63
00:10:04,530 --> 00:10:05,070
Next item.

64
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:08,830
See communications from the public on non-agentized items.

65
00:10:09,490 --> 00:10:12,490
I have received no speaker cards for this item.

66
00:10:13,290 --> 00:10:15,890
Is there anyone in the audience that wishes to address

67
00:10:15,890 --> 00:10:18,210
the board on an item that's not on the agenda?

68
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:21,510
There's a long litany of things that we can't do if

69
00:10:21,510 --> 00:10:24,490
talk about it or take any action,

70
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:29,110
but we certainly welcome anyone that wishes to address the board on any item.

71
00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:33,550
That's not on the agenda, please feel free to do that.

72
00:10:34,010 --> 00:10:35,130
Seeing none, next item.

73
00:10:35,390 --> 00:10:37,130
Next item, Deaconsand Calendar.

74
00:10:37,490 --> 00:10:42,070
Staff's recommending the Board Approved's consent calendar items 5 through 7 as presented.

75
00:10:43,970 --> 00:10:44,350
Thank you.

76
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:45,430
There are only three items.

77
00:10:45,850 --> 00:10:49,430
I have a motion by the Director of the Trail.

78
00:10:49,830 --> 00:10:50,090
I'll second.

79
00:10:50,270 --> 00:10:50,830
Thank you.

80
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:53,290
A second by the Director of the Terrace.

81
00:10:54,010 --> 00:10:55,190
Any discussion?

82
00:10:55,390 --> 00:10:56,350
Anyone from the audience?

83
00:10:56,350 --> 00:11:03,450
to come in on any one of these three items. Seeing none, all those in favor say aye. I oppose

84
00:11:03,450 --> 00:11:10,190
no. Thank you. It passes unanimously. Thank you. Our next time east public hearings and we have

85
00:11:10,190 --> 00:11:18,510
no public hearings noticed on this agenda leading us to F staff reports. Item F eight is the fiscal

86
00:11:18,510 --> 00:11:25,330
year 2022 23 mid-year budget amendment. Staff's recommended that after the presentation the board

87
00:11:25,330 --> 00:11:30,970
one receives the Administrator of General Services Report on the Media Report for the Fiscal

88
00:11:30,970 --> 00:11:40,510
Year 2020-22232323. I approve the resolution 2023-08, amending the budget for Fiscal Year 2020-223,

89
00:11:40,590 --> 00:11:47,170
attachment one, and approves contract authorization and decision packages, as outlined in the report

90
00:11:47,170 --> 00:11:52,950
and further described in attachment two and attachment three. Finance Director, New Veng, and

91
00:11:52,950 --> 00:11:56,150
and state of general services Amanda Shai-Razand.

92
00:11:58,670 --> 00:11:59,290
Good afternoon.

93
00:11:59,730 --> 00:12:03,210
The President Al-Biani and Directors Amanda Shai-Razad,

94
00:12:03,330 --> 00:12:05,230
your administrator of General Services.

95
00:12:05,790 --> 00:12:11,450
I'm here to present our fiscal year 2022-23 mid-year budget report.

96
00:12:12,210 --> 00:12:14,730
As with all of our presentations, we start with our mission

97
00:12:14,730 --> 00:12:18,250
and vision, which gives us the direction of the district

98
00:12:18,250 --> 00:12:19,210
of where we're going.

99
00:12:19,530 --> 00:12:23,730
And this report really helps support what we are doing

100
00:12:23,730 --> 00:12:27,010
and how we're doing it to get to our mission and vision.

101
00:12:28,050 --> 00:12:31,670
Within our values, our second value is financial responsibility.

102
00:12:32,690 --> 00:12:36,210
And with our report today, we are fulfilling the transparency

103
00:12:36,210 --> 00:12:39,410
and accountability within our values to the district.

104
00:12:40,730 --> 00:12:42,970
We have quite a bit of information to cover

105
00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:45,370
and I know you've had your staff report,

106
00:12:45,690 --> 00:12:48,790
but we will be going over what the recommendations are.

107
00:12:49,090 --> 00:12:52,030
The fiscal responsibilities that we have here at the district,

108
00:12:52,030 --> 00:12:59,530
The biennial budget timeline, our budget highlights, reserve balances, the mid-year amendments,

109
00:13:00,570 --> 00:13:04,830
the contracts and decision packages, and a quick overview of next steps.

110
00:13:06,980 --> 00:13:11,700
Elinecia has already read what our recommendations are, these will be the actions we are

111
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:14,880
requesting the board to take at the end of the report.

112
00:13:17,510 --> 00:13:24,150
The fiscal responsibilities that we find for the district are to be stewards of our taxpayer

113
00:13:24,150 --> 00:13:30,230
funds. We want to thank the board for their support and encouragement as we've put together

114
00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:37,190
a very fiscally responsible budget. We are looking to provide fiscal stability and long-term

115
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:42,570
planning for the district, so not just meeting our needs today but planning for what the future

116
00:13:42,570 --> 00:13:49,770
holds. To do this we are looking at revenue diversification and aligning our strategies to really

117
00:13:49,770 --> 00:13:56,950
able to deliver on our services. We're doing this through transparency, accountability, and innovation.

118
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:06,500
Within the Bionale Budget, we are almost through this second year. This budget was adopted

119
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:14,640
originally in June of 2021. The mid-year Bionale Budget amendment was adopted in June of 2022.

120
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,700
And this is an amendment to that secondary year.

121
00:14:19,180 --> 00:14:26,520
The final budget amendment will be adopted in August as we bring all of the year end and

122
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,080
Actuals to the board.

123
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,080
I'm excited to share some of the highlights of this budget that we are proposing here.

124
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:44,900
We're seeing a 7.3% revenue growth, which is above our expectations and unprecedented here at the district.

125
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:54,200
Within that growth, we are also seeing an increase this year in particular from intergovernmental transfers from EMS.

126
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,960
These are offset by some expenses, but they are higher than normal duty.

127
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:09,420
Some time discrepancies. Our district wide reserves, we are going to be able to increase those by 4.7 million.

128
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:20,800
And this is something that the staff are really committed to ensuring we are preparing for any kind of financial changes within the economy in the coming years.

129
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:31,360
We are seeing our insurance liabilities increased and we have adapted to that and been able to cover those costs within this budget.

130
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:37,680
We also are seeing overages in services and supplies due to inflation.

131
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:47,340
Luckily, we are able to cover all of those within this budget due to the increased revenues and the diversification that we are seeing.

132
00:15:48,810 --> 00:15:56,350
Going into our reserve balances, we do have a large, very healthy reserve for the district.

133
00:15:56,870 --> 00:16:00,250
Our reserves are categorized into a few different areas.

134
00:16:00,970 --> 00:16:05,490
The general fund reserve has a total of 39.3 million.

135
00:16:06,190 --> 00:16:11,550
Within that, we have our operational reserve at 32.5 million.

136
00:16:12,350 --> 00:16:17,710
In layman terms the operational reserve at 32.5 million is our rainy date fund.

137
00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:23,950
This is the fund that would be utilized to keep our operations going if we came across

138
00:16:23,950 --> 00:16:25,990
a hard economic times.

139
00:16:26,910 --> 00:16:33,290
We also have designated 6.8 million in reserves and these are through policy and regulation

140
00:16:33,290 --> 00:16:35,210
reserves that we hold.

141
00:16:36,350 --> 00:16:40,310
The LNL has a reserve balance of 42.8 million.

142
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:46,590
This reserve is what they use for their ongoing operations as well as capital improvements.

143
00:16:46,590 --> 00:16:53,930
It is normal for the LNL to draw on their reserves for their ongoing expenditures.

144
00:16:55,510 --> 00:16:59,010
The CIP Reserve is at 52.6 million.

145
00:16:59,730 --> 00:17:02,890
This is exceptionally high for the district.

146
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:10,030
And one of the biggest reasons is because of the large infrastructure projects we have going on.

147
00:17:10,110 --> 00:17:13,310
That's the building of station 77 and the core.

148
00:17:13,310 --> 00:17:19,230
But in addition to those reserves, we also have our quimbi and impact fee funds.

149
00:17:19,910 --> 00:17:22,410
The final reserve is an ARPA reserve.

150
00:17:22,570 --> 00:17:29,490
This is due to COVID and we will be going over the plan for spending those reserves.

151
00:17:32,570 --> 00:17:40,110
Just to give a little bit of a visual around what comprises our reserves, the circle on the

152
00:17:40,110 --> 00:17:48,190
left shows our overall reserve balance for the entire district. As I mentioned, the L&L reserve

153
00:17:48,190 --> 00:17:53,670
is used for their ongoing operations. Capital projects are used for those infrastructure

154
00:17:53,670 --> 00:18:00,550
and impact fees. And then we have the general fund reserve in the blue section. We can break that

155
00:18:00,550 --> 00:18:07,910
out and you'll see that we have the operational reserve at 3.25 million. Again, that's like our rainy

156
00:18:07,910 --> 00:18:15,570
fund. We also have a capital reserve of 3.8 and a debt service stabilization at 3 million.

157
00:18:16,610 --> 00:18:22,690
So with these reserves, we are very confident that the district is in very high and healthy standards

158
00:18:22,690 --> 00:18:30,730
physically. So to dig in a little bit more with our budget for mid here, I'm going to turn it over to

159
00:18:30,730 --> 00:18:34,290
to go into each of our specific funds.

160
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:39,860
Good afternoon, President Albionny.

161
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,280
Members of the Board, my name is New Bank,

162
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:43,720
a finance director of the district.

163
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,380
So before we jump into numbers,

164
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,210
I just want to emphasize that

165
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,340
this is our midyear budget update.

166
00:18:51,660 --> 00:18:54,200
So we give you six months of actuals

167
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,020
and then project whether remaining at the fiscal year.

168
00:18:58,340 --> 00:19:01,420
You'll see that and also give you an update

169
00:19:01,420 --> 00:19:07,380
all the supplementary quests based off of the updated amendments or projections we have for

170
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:13,700
our revenues and expenditures. So we'll start off with major funds. The first major fund is the

171
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:20,500
general fund. This is our basic art discretionary fund in our operational fund that we use.

172
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:27,600
When I compare these numbers, we compare this to the last time you officially adopted the budget,

173
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,700
which is the mid-Abandial budget update.

174
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,980
So these revenue projections based off the last time

175
00:19:32,980 --> 00:19:34,800
that that was received.

176
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:37,300
So total revenues for the general fund

177
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:39,380
are expecting increased $10.6 million.

178
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,480
And that's largely due to the property tax growth

179
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,480
that the district is experiencing.

180
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,420
We're expecting about $3.2 million

181
00:19:48,420 --> 00:19:50,540
over what we originally had anticipated.

182
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,400
As Amanda mentioned, that Caspar 7.3% property tax growth.

183
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,540
This is the largest growth that's just a cup seen in nearly two decades.

184
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:10,320
And we know that this is really an extraordinary year in that revenue growth may not be able to keep up with that 7.3%.

185
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,620
So overall, a revenue projections for property taxes at $61.5 million.

186
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,560
Other revenue increases are EMS revenues at $3.6 million.

187
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:29,260
As we've discussed, part of that is due to the intergovernmental transfer, increase of $2.7 million.

188
00:20:30,340 --> 00:20:36,900
As you may recall from last budget year, there was delay in the state funding for IGT funds.

189
00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:44,040
We're now starting to see that trickle in, hence for the larger increase for this current fiscal year.

190
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,880
Let's transport increase of $900,000.

191
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:53,700
This is updated based on revenue assumptions and also our latest CPI increases.

192
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,000
Overall, MS revenue are expected at $18.8 million.

193
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,220
We have also had the plan check review in the inspection fees,

194
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,000
expecting increased out of $4 million.

195
00:21:06,820 --> 00:21:09,840
As we know, our prior prevention is receiving a

196
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,360
search, I'll plan check review,

197
00:21:11,740 --> 00:21:13,560
so we're accounting for that budget update

198
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,360
or those revenue projection updates

199
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:19,100
with a total of $1.5 million for this current fiscal year.

200
00:21:22,010 --> 00:21:23,550
And then we look at that recreation service

201
00:21:23,550 --> 00:21:25,490
charges for a recreation division.

202
00:21:25,950 --> 00:21:28,690
Overall projections for that is $7.4 million.

203
00:21:29,670 --> 00:21:33,930
As you may know, we have recently secured a contract

204
00:21:34,570 --> 00:21:38,130
with an Elcro school district for after school programming.

205
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:41,210
That is expected to bring about $825,000.

206
00:21:43,130 --> 00:21:45,930
There's a building rental facility in Celtar.

207
00:21:46,050 --> 00:21:50,370
There's very minimal changes to those projections at $1.5 million.

208
00:21:51,970 --> 00:21:53,970
We also have our federal and state grants.

209
00:21:54,510 --> 00:21:56,050
Increase of $1.9 million.

210
00:21:56,410 --> 00:21:59,910
This is related to our mutual aid deployment on our strike team.

211
00:21:59,910 --> 00:22:04,850
mid-years future that time where we true up this number, and these are the actual

212
00:22:04,850 --> 00:22:09,090
amount that we're expecting to receive from the state for mutual aid deployment.

213
00:22:10,590 --> 00:22:15,490
Other revenues of $1.7 million are related to capital project transfers,

214
00:22:15,950 --> 00:22:23,530
related to the core in station 77. We normally pay those construction costs or those CIP costs out

215
00:22:23,530 --> 00:22:30,030
up front first and then we get reimbursed from our fiscal agent that holds our

216
00:22:30,030 --> 00:22:32,450
deaf financing for that.

217
00:22:35,110 --> 00:22:37,150
All right, so we're going to have the expenditure side

218
00:22:37,150 --> 00:22:43,030
of General Fun, total we're expecting a total expenditure increase of $8.8 million.

219
00:22:43,770 --> 00:22:50,890
Of that, 618,000 are with personnel costs related to overtime and retirement payout.

220
00:22:51,290 --> 00:22:55,210
With a total projection of 73.4 million dollars in personnel costs,

221
00:22:55,210 --> 00:22:57,030
and includes salaries and benefits.

222
00:22:58,670 --> 00:22:59,650
Service and supplies,

223
00:22:59,950 --> 00:23:02,110
expecting increased $5.3 million.

224
00:23:02,830 --> 00:23:05,290
A big chunk of that is due to the ICT expenses

225
00:23:05,290 --> 00:23:08,730
of $2.7 million with ICT.

226
00:23:09,050 --> 00:23:11,630
You have to pay into that in order for you

227
00:23:11,630 --> 00:23:12,550
to receive those revenues,

228
00:23:12,550 --> 00:23:15,870
so that's related to the $5 million increase

229
00:23:15,870 --> 00:23:16,670
and expenditures.

230
00:23:18,010 --> 00:23:19,970
Overall, utilities are expecting

231
00:23:19,970 --> 00:23:21,210
increased $5 million.

232
00:23:21,450 --> 00:23:23,950
We are seeing overall increases in utility,

233
00:23:23,950 --> 00:23:31,710
rate increases related to water, sewer, electricity overall.

234
00:23:32,930 --> 00:23:34,930
And the libel insurance, like we mentioned earlier,

235
00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:37,210
expecting increased about half a million dollars.

236
00:23:38,010 --> 00:23:40,130
As you recall, earlier this fiscal year,

237
00:23:40,670 --> 00:23:44,410
the district took swift action to switch our insurance provider

238
00:23:44,410 --> 00:23:46,630
to Golden State Risk Management Authority.

239
00:23:47,170 --> 00:23:50,990
Staff has been working with them to update salaries,

240
00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:53,590
update information to provide to our new

241
00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:59,230
insurance provider, those premiums didn't finalize until late fall, and then

242
00:23:59,230 --> 00:24:02,190
so why there's about a half a million dollar increase in our liability

243
00:24:02,190 --> 00:24:06,750
insurance. But how do we stick with our old provider? You would have seen this

244
00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:10,490
about a million dollars more. So overall we are saving by switching

245
00:24:10,490 --> 00:24:12,630
look to the new insurance provider.

246
00:24:15,470 --> 00:24:17,050
And then you'll also see professional services

247
00:24:17,050 --> 00:24:22,570
increased about $370,000. And this is related to a number of things

248
00:24:22,570 --> 00:24:27,070
first is due to the the loot hours contract that we have.

249
00:24:27,250 --> 00:24:28,870
I relate to our measure e outreach.

250
00:24:29,710 --> 00:24:33,490
This 135,000 that was previously approved by the board.

251
00:24:34,190 --> 00:24:40,030
There are other items like Whitman and Acta Met charges that I

252
00:24:40,030 --> 00:24:42,550
related in here, but those are offset with revenues.

253
00:24:44,490 --> 00:24:49,970
And then you'll also see increases in a professional service related to standard of cover

254
00:24:49,970 --> 00:24:55,670
in auditing service, those are just more re-appropriation of budget and not really additional

255
00:24:55,670 --> 00:25:04,250
funding required for the general fund. And then we also also have exact recruitment in

256
00:25:04,850 --> 00:25:09,810
workplace investigation. Those are really on and for those things we can't really budget

257
00:25:09,810 --> 00:25:16,810
ahead of time. So that's included in those increases in professional services. And then other expenses

258
00:25:16,810 --> 00:25:20,850
increase $200,000 related to transfers and capital outlay.

259
00:25:23,940 --> 00:25:28,120
And this is really a snapshot of the

260
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:33,960
revenue overview. You'll see the second column is the approval appropriation that the board

261
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:40,020
approved in June 15, 2022. The third column is our year in projection. You'll see your

262
00:25:40,020 --> 00:25:47,580
expectations in the year with $100.9 million in revenue. And the last column is our supplementary

263
00:25:47,580 --> 00:25:49,500
requests for a request and a board to offer

264
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:53,320
us about 10.6 million dollars in additional revenue

265
00:25:53,940 --> 00:25:54,540
appropriation.

266
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:58,900
And here's the expenditure aside.

267
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,500
Again, the year in projections

268
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:03,500
10, 100.9 million dollars,

269
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,820
position you with a balanced budget for the

270
00:26:05,820 --> 00:26:07,820
general fund with a supplementary

271
00:26:07,820 --> 00:26:09,860
question of $9.9 million dollars.

272
00:26:14,210 --> 00:26:17,370
Now moving into the capital projects fund,

273
00:26:18,130 --> 00:26:20,030
this is the fund where we expense all our

274
00:26:20,030 --> 00:26:22,290
capital, our CIP projects in.

275
00:26:22,290 --> 00:26:29,630
revenues are expecting increased for $.3 million, as you recall in October 2022, we're about to

276
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:36,170
you a comprehensive ARPA and COVID-19 fiscal relief spending plan, and that includes $2.5 million

277
00:26:36,170 --> 00:26:42,830
in capital projects in this current fiscal year, and so that's part of the increase, and then

278
00:26:42,830 --> 00:26:50,510
the LNL transfer of $1.8 million related to the Jack Hill Park and Roger Ophysethic golf course.

279
00:26:51,450 --> 00:26:57,970
The expenditures are at $4.3 million or increase of $4.3 million, and this is related

280
00:26:57,970 --> 00:27:00,870
to numerous CIP projects we have in the pipeline.

281
00:27:01,270 --> 00:27:04,150
Here's just only a few of the projects we have.

282
00:27:04,550 --> 00:27:10,670
We have root repairs at several facilities, such as Station 72, Laguna Town Hall, the

283
00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:12,330
Modure Office at the Montessori.

284
00:27:12,750 --> 00:27:14,150
Those all include in that.

285
00:27:14,370 --> 00:27:19,670
We have the Immeral Lakes Golf Course Modure offices, Town Square Park we vitalization, which

286
00:27:19,670 --> 00:27:23,490
to work recently approved in the Jack Hill Park.

287
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,180
And here is overall snapshot of all.

288
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,720
Be revenue and expenditures for the Cal Pro Projects

289
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,360
with year-end projections at 37.9 million

290
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:36,360
of both revenue and expenditures.

291
00:27:37,220 --> 00:27:39,940
And then the last column is the supplemental request.

292
00:27:44,540 --> 00:27:47,460
And our third and final major fund

293
00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:49,100
is the Landscape and Lighting Fund.

294
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,540
And this is the fund where we fund our park operations out of.

295
00:27:53,540 --> 00:27:58,900
revenues are expected to increase $3.4 million. It's not only true, revenue is tied to it,

296
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:05,020
it's just maybe movement of money over lay transfers to district-wide services and then use

297
00:28:05,020 --> 00:28:10,240
of reserves for capital projects, with a projection of $35.2 million dollars.

298
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:18,320
Expenditure is $3.4 million, related to services supplies, increase a $1.6 million

299
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:25,220
majority of that, like we mentioned, due to liability and property insurance increase of $780,000.

300
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:32,060
We also have land improvements such as wall damages, storm damages, and playground parts of $78,000 increase.

301
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:40,840
Axe services basically are landscaping for our park, and that's expected increase about $221,000.

302
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,920
Over all capital projects, expenditures increase of $1.8 million.

303
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,680
Again, here's an overview of the landscaping lighting fund with your Improjection

304
00:28:53,680 --> 00:29:01,580
revenue in expenditures of $3.35.2 million dollars and then right is the overall supplemental

305
00:29:01,580 --> 00:29:02,840
requests.

306
00:29:06,620 --> 00:29:11,840
Now moving on to our non-major funds, first we have the golf enterprise fund.

307
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,960
So there's really minimal changes to the golf enterprise fund.

308
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:20,800
You'll see your Improjection at $1.9 million for both revenue and expenditures.

309
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:27,520
In a supplemental request, in the revenue section, you'll see increase of 432,000.

310
00:29:27,860 --> 00:29:34,480
That's simply the transfer of budget from the general fund to the Gough Fund.

311
00:29:34,740 --> 00:29:42,340
The Gough historically has lived in the general fund budget and due to audit recommendations.

312
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:46,580
Last fiscal year, we have moved Gough out to its own enterprise fund.

313
00:29:46,580 --> 00:29:48,740
and again, which has transferring the budget

314
00:29:48,740 --> 00:29:52,560
that was previously budgeted in the general fund for that.

315
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,960
We have the American Rescue Plan at our ARPA Fund.

316
00:29:59,060 --> 00:29:59,960
We, it's...

317
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:15,980
And the October we have presented you with ARPA spending plan. This is actually a new fund. We created this fiscal year. Just keep track of expenditures separately and also for reporting purposes. As you see, there was no appropriation previously approved because it's a new fund.

318
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:26,200
And that we're requesting for total about $3 million in the supplement of quest for revenues and expenditure appropriations.

319
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:35,240
And our last fund that we have here is our debt service fund, so this is our fund for where we make a majority of our debt payments out of.

320
00:30:35,260 --> 00:30:45,340
You'll see there's just minor adjustments due to some changes to the amortization table, where the payment schedule for some of these loans, but minor changes with that.

321
00:30:48,190 --> 00:30:53,710
All right, so I will hand this back to Amanda, who was going to come to conclude the presentation.

322
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:08,180
Thank you, New. Well, as you can see, there is a lot involved with the budget and the last piece we want to review is contracts and decision packages.

323
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:15,020
So the first is to ask for approval for contract authorizations.

324
00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:20,000
These contracts have already been budgeted and approved by the board.

325
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:25,540
So the action here is to approve the contracts to be made.

326
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:31,580
The first is for a strategic plan assessment tool for $30,000.

327
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:40,840
We have two contracts that are for playground, rubberized surface replacement and a ceiling coat.

328
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:49,720
and so those are two different contracts for different types of services and then we have our

329
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:57,080
weed-moving service contract. Again there's no budget appropriation and this is not a fact

330
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:05,340
any of the general fund that you have already approved. Our decision packages today we have one

331
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:12,760
that is an ad package. This package is to create a full-time administrative manager position within

332
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:22,520
the facilities and development department. The cost for this fund is an ongoing $174,618.

333
00:32:23,740 --> 00:32:30,380
This is going to be funded out of the CIP fund and therefore does not have an impact on the general fund.

334
00:32:30,380 --> 00:32:39,520
This is to support those large infrastructure activities we have going on and the department that's growing.

335
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:46,380
We have some additional efficiency packages and these also do not require any funding.

336
00:32:47,180 --> 00:32:58,040
The first is the conversion of an investigator or a code enforcement officer within our prevention department to be changed to a deputy fire marshal.

337
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:07,680
The second is a reclassification of a management analyst to an administrative manager in the administrative department.

338
00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:13,340
The next is a conversion of an administrative specialist to an administrative assistant.

339
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:21,980
This is the downgrade of a position and some of the salary savings will be used for additional staff report in part-time staffing.

340
00:33:21,980 --> 00:33:32,940
The final is a conversion of a parks and golf manager to a program manager and a recreation supervisor to a management analyst.

341
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,240
And so these are again just efficiency packages with no financial impact.

342
00:33:41,150 --> 00:33:48,650
So wanting to wrap all of this up with a quick recap of this budget we really feel is

343
00:33:48,650 --> 00:33:54,450
meeting our financial responsibilities and being very viscally responsible for the district

344
00:33:54,450 --> 00:34:01,170
and in line with the expectations from the board and our tax paying base. We do have

345
00:34:01,170 --> 00:34:09,270
healthy revenue growth and but we are also ready and poised in a very good position to deal with any

346
00:34:10,390 --> 00:34:13,750
negative economic impact that may be coming.

347
00:34:14,970 --> 00:34:23,450
Because of our agility, we have been able to deal with the strains from services and supplies that continue to increase based on inflation.

348
00:34:23,830 --> 00:34:28,750
And we are countering that in our next biennial budget as well.

349
00:34:28,930 --> 00:34:31,590
So we're well prepared to take that on.

350
00:34:31,590 --> 00:34:47,410
We have been putting some resources behind our risk management to contain the liability we are having with the rising insurance premiums as we see this not only as a trend for the district but a trend in general.

351
00:34:48,090 --> 00:34:56,510
We do anticipate having an increase of 4.7 million to our reserves in this fiscal year, which, again, is an

352
00:34:56,510 --> 00:35:03,870
attachment to the responsibility and the seriousness that the district and the staff have towards our financial sustainability.

353
00:35:05,210 --> 00:35:07,470
So our next steps will be in May.

354
00:35:07,470 --> 00:35:16,610
we will bring you the initial fiscal year 2023-25 by annual budget. In that budget, we will be

355
00:35:16,610 --> 00:35:23,370
introducing our internal service funds. Those funds will include information technology, facilities,

356
00:35:24,290 --> 00:35:30,670
fleet replacement and a plan for risk management. These internal service funds will align with best

357
00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:38,210
practices around how other departments and agencies deal with their internal funding and they're

358
00:35:38,210 --> 00:35:43,590
really going to allow us for planning a long term on asset management and replacement.

359
00:35:45,370 --> 00:35:51,750
We also will be bringing our updated book of fees with our finalized budget to the board

360
00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:54,250
for approval in June of 2023.

361
00:35:55,030 --> 00:36:02,210
That concludes my presentation. We're happy to take any of your questions and I will just leave

362
00:36:02,210 --> 00:36:05,530
the decisions for the board here for your review.

363
00:36:14,730 --> 00:36:23,090
We see that those insurance premiums have gone up by $500,000 and we changed our insurance

364
00:36:23,090 --> 00:36:30,590
provider recently to try and find perhaps a better quote on our premiums. So what is the total

365
00:36:30,590 --> 00:36:38,230
premium that we pay on an annual basis to that provider and how much coverage do we have for

366
00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:45,630
that expensive premium? Great question. I had a feeling we might get some questions on insurance.

367
00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:51,690
So for our general and what we're really talking about here with this insurance is our general liability

368
00:36:51,690 --> 00:36:59,370
insurance cost. And so I believe it's 3 million in our total for the for the fiscal year is 3 million.

369
00:37:00,490 --> 00:37:06,390
which is, you know, if we had stayed with our original provider, it would have been 4 million.

370
00:37:07,070 --> 00:37:10,270
So we do have a savings there by making this switch.

371
00:37:10,810 --> 00:37:15,910
The additional change also gave us a little bit more coverage.

372
00:37:16,490 --> 00:37:24,550
So with the previous provider, we had some substantial deductibles, depending on the type of claim.

373
00:37:24,550 --> 00:37:30,410
With our new provider, we have very minimal or no deductibles depending on the type of claim.

374
00:37:31,070 --> 00:37:40,030
So not only are we saving that one million, we also have reduced any need for the need for covering those deductibles.

375
00:37:40,570 --> 00:37:47,750
So while the overall has still increased, we do still feel that this new provider is the best option.

376
00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:59,790
And we are working on plans to really help negate and track where our largest liabilities are so that we can mitigate those before they become an issue.

377
00:38:00,090 --> 00:38:00,750
Excellent, Amanda.

378
00:38:00,890 --> 00:38:03,130
Thank you so much for predicting my question.

379
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,860
Amanda, just one quick question on the IGT of the 2.7 million dollars.

380
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,960
How much of that was supposed to come in on last year in 2022?

381
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:17,780
Do we know what that number is?

382
00:38:17,780 --> 00:38:26,200
I believe it would be about half right about half about 2 million would have come in should have come in in previous years

383
00:38:28,860 --> 00:38:30,260
perfect. Thank you.

384
00:38:43,470 --> 00:38:44,850
Thank you, Amanda, and thank you.

385
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,060
I'll read them quickly so the audience

386
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,000
can read themselves.

387
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:00,860
So these are the recommendations.

388
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:07,880
I would entertain a motion for all three of our legal counsel tells us that works.

389
00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:10,340
Move to approve.

390
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:11,520
Second.

391
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:19,380
I have a motion to approve the recommendations of the staff and by the Director of the

392
00:39:19,380 --> 00:39:23,480
Trell and thank you for your second.

393
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:25,300
Any discussion?

394
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:27,860
Hearing none?

395
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,980
First of all, anyone from the audience wishing to comment?

396
00:39:32,220 --> 00:39:36,080
I did just one of clarifying one thing about the IDT funds.

397
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:42,320
The funds that we received this year, some of them were for even previous years, then just the last fiscal year.

398
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,560
There have been some delays for several years on those funds.

399
00:39:45,940 --> 00:39:48,540
As a stakeholder act together, we're going to get it on time.

400
00:39:49,260 --> 00:39:59,280
Since you mentioned IGT, there are some places in your presentation where you use initials like this.

401
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:05,880
I'm suspecting that some of the audience doesn't know what IGT or some of the other are,

402
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:12,180
I would suggest that when you do future presentations that you look at that if it's common knowledge

403
00:40:12,180 --> 00:40:21,120
like EMF or whatever that you might be able to put the real name in there and then everybody can keep up.

404
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:26,880
So I have a motion in a second. Thank you, by the way. A motion in a second to approve the recommendations

405
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:32,240
of the staff, we've had some discussion, all those in favor say aye.

406
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:32,800
All right.

407
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,560
Those opposed no.

408
00:40:35,660 --> 00:40:39,220
It's unanimous, and I thank you, and I thank you for your fine presentation.

409
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:40,780
New, thank you.

410
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:44,380
Next item.

411
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:45,100
Thank you.

412
00:40:45,180 --> 00:40:45,720
Next item.

413
00:40:46,020 --> 00:40:46,300
I'm.

414
00:40:47,180 --> 00:40:47,400
I'm.

415
00:40:47,540 --> 00:40:51,460
I'm a California special district association's request for nominations.

416
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,840
Staff is recommending that after the presentation, the board.

417
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,260
considers the California Special District Association, CSDA,

418
00:40:59,620 --> 00:41:04,260
requests for nomination for CEC, the director for the term of 2024 to 2022.

419
00:41:07,020 --> 00:41:09,860
Good afternoon, President O'B. Any members of the board?

420
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:16,980
I see that design. This is an opportunity, maybe, to learn a little bit from other organizations.

421
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:25,040
I have served on a couple of committees of a lower level than this.

422
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:34,900
This is the actually a staff kind of a position there that might make it worthwhile for some of us that are going to be around a while.

423
00:41:35,420 --> 00:41:43,180
I can't take this would not be interested, frankly, but it's 24 through 26 and I won't be here past 24.

424
00:41:43,180 --> 00:41:52,660
or so. It looks at the one of you three if you have an interest. And Josh, would you direct

425
00:41:52,660 --> 00:42:00,440
this question to Angela and see if director's piece may have an interest in this might

426
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:09,140
be something that interests her? Can we wait until she arrives, comes back and we can't.

427
00:42:09,140 --> 00:42:16,800
Okay, then it doesn't appear that we have a great deal of interest for this position, so can we go on to the next item?

428
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:24,560
Yes, our next item is item G, or to the director's business, items G, 10, 10, 3G, 12.

429
00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:34,500
Anybody have miscellaneous reports, meeting event approvals and meeting event reports?

430
00:42:34,940 --> 00:42:37,900
Any one of those will take them all.

431
00:42:38,180 --> 00:42:38,560
That's fine.

432
00:42:41,980 --> 00:42:52,840
It's going to be a short meeting. Maybe this could be started early. We end earlier. Any next item item H?

433
00:42:54,060 --> 00:42:56,520
Identification of items for future meeting.

434
00:42:57,380 --> 00:43:02,920
Anyone have an item for a future meeting? Amanda, I think you put a solid slate.

435
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,060
No, it's a little rude. It was humor.

436
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:20,160
Director, I'll be on you. I just have a question of management and that is I know in the past we've said let's put that let's do a report back at a future meeting

437
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,020
Do we have any of those items type of things pending?

438
00:43:26,850 --> 00:43:31,810
Thank you for the question director point is at this point we do not have any items pending to come back to the board.

439
00:43:32,090 --> 00:43:33,130
Okay, thank you.

440
00:43:36,460 --> 00:43:43,220
We close to adjournment but before we adjourn our general manager of some years.

441
00:43:43,220 --> 00:43:52,520
who has brought this organization along and has done a lot for the staff and in his efforts

442
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:58,580
in the community, we'll be leaving us for a new position and I just want to officially

443
00:43:58,580 --> 00:44:08,040
say that as a board, each one of us is moved by the fact that you're leaving but we look

444
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:12,960
forward to you doing very well in your next job and want to thank you for what you have

445
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:19,720
done for our organization and a culture you have created here among the employees and the staff.

446
00:44:20,060 --> 00:44:23,000
And so we wish to thank you and all of us wish you luck.

447
00:44:23,020 --> 00:44:27,180
There'll be a more appropriate time to do this but I thought at an open meeting is probably

448
00:44:27,180 --> 00:44:29,480
no better time than just to say thanks Josh.

449
00:44:30,060 --> 00:44:38,220
You have really brought to this organization a culture that I personally appreciate and more

450
00:44:38,220 --> 00:44:47,100
that I think you've made us very relevant in this community and you've created relationships

451
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:54,060
with the city and with school districts and when others we deal with and those are ever

452
00:44:54,060 --> 00:44:56,540
so valuable. Thank you.

453
00:44:57,060 --> 00:44:57,860
You're correct, right?

454
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:58,780
President, I'll be on you.

455
00:44:58,860 --> 00:44:59,960
If I can just say...

456
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:15,860
I appreciate that. As I mentioned at Cameron yesterday, I'm just moving down the street. But nothing here happens without the team of people that you put around me and the team that we have here and the people we have here are absolutely incredible.

457
00:45:16,420 --> 00:45:27,140
And so the work happens every day out on the streets and out on the line. And it's been an honor of mine to be able to support those that do the work every day.

458
00:45:27,140 --> 00:45:31,020
And thank you as a board for your leadership and trust in me and our leadership team to be able

459
00:45:31,020 --> 00:45:32,420
to do that.

460
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,460
I'm the next item is in the comments.

461
00:45:35,740 --> 00:45:35,760
Sure.

462
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:36,580
Yeah, one more comes.

463
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:41,200
Josh, I've appreciated everything you've done.

464
00:45:41,220 --> 00:45:46,020
All of your years here, all the conversations you and I have had, you've always been very

465
00:45:46,020 --> 00:45:46,520
supportive.

466
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:55,480
The direction I wanted this forward, this agency to go in and I've come to learn that there

467
00:45:55,480 --> 00:46:01,300
many skills the general manager has to have and I don't know that there's one word that

468
00:46:01,300 --> 00:46:06,920
covers it all but I was just thinking in terms of like political leaders we often use the

469
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:16,860
word statesmen when we talk about a senior person in community leadership nationwide and at

470
00:46:16,860 --> 00:46:25,460
some point they have earned the term statesmen and I think you you are that to us and to the

471
00:46:25,460 --> 00:46:26,820
Thank you.

472
00:46:32,290 --> 00:46:35,810
