1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:10,639
Thank you. Good evening, Mr. Chair,
board of supervisors, manager, and

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,920
members of the public. My name is Steve
Schaefer. I'm the acting chief

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,160
presenting the township's police
department's 2026 proposed budget. So,

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,720
thank you all for being here. Thank you
for members who are of the public who

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,840
are listening on live stream. On behalf
of the police department, we just want

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,279
to thank the community for your support
of our officers as they protect and

7
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:33,920
serve this community with
professionalism, courage, and integrity.

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:38,640
Many of you know the police department
does consume half of the the township's

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:45,920
overall budget. We try to be very
responsible with that. We're here 247

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:50,079
365 days a year. And it's vital for
public safety that we're well equipped,

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:55,120
well trained, and that officers officers
are compensated well. I'm extremely

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:00,000
proud of these officers as they go about
their day putting themselves in harm's

13
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:04,720
way and it's very important that they
have adequate staffing levels that it's

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:10,159
safe staffing levels that they have
modern crime fighting equipment advanced

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,760
training and competitive salaries. So
that being said, we do try to balance

16
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,479
the needs of the the police department
with and align that with the the

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,720
township's overall budget and competing
needs.

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,320
We feel that uh this budget is
financially responsible. We've looked at

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:34,159
our spending and I think that by the end
of the presentation, you'll see that um

20
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:38,320
we're here to continue our operations
uh in a way that works well with the

21
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:43,759
township. Again, I'm not going to go
through each line item. We are just

22
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,759
going to um look at the overall budget
and then I can answer any other

23
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,159
questions that you might have.
So just looking at the first slide, this

24
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:59,040
is an overview of where we stand for
2026. We're going to talk about an

25
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:02,640
increased health insurance issue. Um
we're going to talk about an investment

26
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:08,319
in capital project and then we're going
to talk how we combat those increases

27
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:15,239
with reductions in overtime wages and
operational costs. The budget comes in

28
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,239
right now at 9,140,938.

29
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:25,280
That's an increase of $140,000,
which is about 1.55%.

30
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:32,360
Again, better than the 7.2% from last
year or from this year and the 6.9% from

31
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,360
2024.

32
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:42,480
So, the key spending increases that we
have this year. Um the first one is a

33
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,599
line item called health and
hospitalization. It covers our our

34
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:53,519
health care costs for both active
employees and retirees. That has

35
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:59,280
significantly gone up this year. If I
look at the line items from admin,

36
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:04,000
patrol, detectives, and traffic, it goes
up about $361,000.

37
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,280
So that is a big increase. It's not
something that the police have much

38
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,400
control over. for that of course is
insurance companies, the bargaining unit

39
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:17,680
and you know from the police side of
things that's what we're given.

40
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,280
Additionally, we have an operational
increase and when I talk about the

41
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:27,040
operations part of the budget what I
mean is things like equipment, bullets,

42
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:31,840
guns, chairs, computers, as well as
licenses, software fees, things like

43
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:37,200
that. Those are our operations.
We have three key areas where the budget

44
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:43,280
is going up a little bit operationally.
The first one would be um in our camera

45
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:48,879
system. So we have both bodywn cameras
and in car cameras. They are vital for

46
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:53,519
our investigations. They're a great
thing for officer accountability. We use

47
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:58,080
them as evidence in court and of course
they do protect us against some civil

48
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:04,000
liability. So this this equipment is
part of modern policing. Our

49
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:09,760
bodywn worn cameras are about 2 and a
half years old. Our in-car cameras are

50
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:15,040
about four years old. Bodywn cameras
have about a 3 to 5 year shelf life and

51
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:19,120
incar cameras about a seven. So they're
about halfway through and we're starting

52
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,280
to see some repair costs, licensing
fees, but repair costs are going up a

53
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,680
little bit with that. So, we're
increasing that budget $25,000 to make

54
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:33,919
sure that we can keep this equipment
running until it's end of life, which

55
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:38,720
could be no later than 2028.
We are looking into some grants for next

56
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:43,440
year. Hopefully, we can start mitigating
some of those costs a while and looking

57
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:48,240
at some other options, but for now, we
need to at least plan for repairs for

58
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:52,400
those items as they come up.
The other increase that we're going to

59
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:57,520
see is in ballistic vests. This is
simply just an operational thing that

60
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:03,919
comes up differently every year.
Bulletproof vests, they have a fiveyear

61
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:08,560
shelf life as well. Um, contractually we
replace that every five years. So last

62
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:14,560
year we only had five officers that
needed vest. This year it's eight. So

63
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:19,039
we'll get a $6,000 increase in that. And
then the last operational thing would be

64
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:24,000
we're asking for more of a capital
purchase than we did last year. and

65
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:28,880
we'll talk about that slide in a couple
minutes.

66
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,560
So, to get into an overview of how we're
going to combat some of those increases,

67
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,680
we're going to look at two things. We're
going to look at salaries and we're

68
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:42,720
going to look at um overtime before we
go into what we can do operationally.

69
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:47,680
So, salary, we're looking at an
unrealized

70
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:53,039
wage savings of about $114,000.
What I mean by that is if we go by 2025

71
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,520
and the amount of officers that we
started with to continue our operations

72
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:03,039
in 2025
and you take the collective bargaining

73
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:08,560
units raise of 3.5%.
That's about $178,000.

74
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:12,880
We made some changes this year. Uh we
had an officer that left earlier in the

75
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:18,240
year that we decided to do some
restructuring and you know different

76
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,720
times, different schedules for some
units and we didn't replace him. So that

77
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:27,680
saves us salary for next year. We're
fine doing things the way we are with

78
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:32,720
that. We have another officer who is
going to be retiring in November. I've

79
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:37,840
already worked on replacing him, but the
way our pay scale works, it's a sevenst

80
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:43,280
step pay scale. will be able to hire a
new officer at a much less expensive

81
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:48,000
rate than that existing one. If we hire
somebody who's in the academy, I can get

82
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:53,120
a grant for him probably as well. So,
that would even be more savings.

83
00:06:50,800 --> 00:07:02,160
So, those two things equal a decent
amount of savings as well as we have a

84
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:07,840
part-time office staff that is has
probably going to retire sometime around

85
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:12,160
May. And it's my intention to not
replace that position. We've been able

86
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:17,039
to divide up some work and restructure
some things there as well and we'll see

87
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:23,120
some savings in that area. So those
three things

88
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:28,080
mean our wages only go up $64,000
instead of $178,000.

89
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:33,440
So when I say unrealized savings, what
could have been was one is about

90
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:39,199
$114,000 savings.
We're going to look at overtime the same

91
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:44,319
way. um overtime's one of those words
that you know doesn't necessarily mean

92
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:50,319
bad, right? We have operational things
that have to be done and some of that is

93
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:55,280
done outside of regular work hours.
Just to give you an example of what our

94
00:07:52,880 --> 00:08:00,800
overtime looks like, we put this graph
up there. You can see from the top green

95
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:06,160
portion, the majority of our overtime is
court related overtime. We want to catch

96
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:12,080
bad guys or we want to slow people down
to stop crashes. That means our officers

97
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:16,319
are going to be busy. They have about a
thousand arrests a year and 7,000

98
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:20,639
tickets. They're going to be out there
and it's going to incur some court time.

99
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:25,039
So that is the largest portion of the
overtime.

100
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:29,840
What the graph doesn't show is in the
revenue portion of things, that's

101
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:36,240
basically a wash in fines and court
costs. So the other large green portion

102
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:41,839
is reimburseable overtime.
That is things like we might work a

103
00:08:39,839 --> 00:08:47,040
football game security. The school will
pay us back. We might do a DUI

104
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:52,399
checkpoint. We get funding for that. So
that overtime is 100% reimburseable. So

105
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:59,640
if you look at that, that's about half
of our overtime is is basically

106
00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:59,640
a wash.

107
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,560
That just is a little explanation of how
we manage over time. And the other

108
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:10,560
categories we look at on a year-by-year
basis and try to determine our needs.

109
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:15,760
Some of them we change on a yearly
basis. A lot of them are something like

110
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,600
an investigation. Something comes up, we
have a serious crime, officers have to

111
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:23,120
put more time into it. those kind of
things we don't have control over, but

112
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:27,760
they are consistent consistently. We can
plan for them.

113
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,200
So, going back to how we're going to
combat some of that savings, you know,

114
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:37,040
we dealt with the wages, we're talking
about overtime. Now, if you look at the

115
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:43,839
the collective bargaining units
3.5% raise, that would put overtime up

116
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:48,000
to about $473,000
for 2025.

117
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,760
What I did is I looked at the overtime
and we found some ways that we could cut

118
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:59,440
and I took it back down to the 2025
number instead of raising at 473. That's

119
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:04,959
about $16,000
that we saved in what would have been

120
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:10,640
with the raises. It's cutting basically
195 hours of overtime by restructuring

121
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:15,279
some things with some different officers
that we have and some different ways

122
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:18,320
that we can do things. So, if I add
those two together, that's about

123
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,640
$130,000
that we tried to keep the budget down

124
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,880
that would have gone up just due to the
normal payraises.

125
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:38,079
All right. So, the second way that we're
going to try to save some money is

126
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:42,000
operationally. Um, this is about $48,000
that we've looked at in the budget and

127
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:47,440
been able to find some ways to save from
25 to 26. Uh, uniforms and equipment.

128
00:10:45,839 --> 00:10:52,000
Uh, we're going to, you know, use some
of the things that we have a little bit

129
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:56,320
longer as far as radios and batteries.
Um, we have one or two less officers so

130
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:01,519
that we won't have to spend some of that
uniform allowance as well. firearm

131
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:06,000
supplies. That's a category where we've
eliminated some expenses by changing

132
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:11,120
around some of the weapons that we use.
And um last year we budgeted for a few

133
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:17,279
extra rifles. This year we're not going
to do that. We're going to put that off

134
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:23,200
for another another year possibly.
We analyzed our fuel and we think that

135
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:27,040
based on what we used year to date, we
were a little high. Additionally,

136
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,800
officers have been doing a really good
job of keeping the cars from idling too

137
00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:37,120
much when they're not in them. That
keeps the fuel cost down, as well as we

138
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:41,279
have two less officers. If we the one
that we will hire in November, he's

139
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:45,839
going to be in the FTO period doubled
up. So, we'll have some savings there as

140
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:52,240
well. New hire testing should save about
$5,000 because we just completed a test

141
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:56,880
two weeks ago. I don't anticipate
anybody leaving next year.

142
00:11:54,959 --> 00:12:01,519
But if they would, we could use this
current test to fill that position. And

143
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:07,279
then we found some other things in the
EMA, fire police budget that were

144
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:11,760
earmarked that we don't use. And I found
about $4,000 in additional control

145
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:17,839
spending that we can cut. Little minor
things. So that leaves our savings of

146
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:23,519
$48,000 operationally. If you looked at
the key increases, that was 41,000.

147
00:12:20,959 --> 00:12:30,120
Savings are 48,000. So operationally
we're actually about $6,700

148
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,120
less than last year.

149
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:39,440
This goes into our capital purchase
issue that we're going to talk about.

150
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:46,079
2028 is going to have some looming
issues. We have LPR readers that we had

151
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:51,040
been partially funded from the DA's
office. Their licenses, they're a great

152
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:56,959
investigative tool. In fact, just last
week, we had some theft from vehicles in

153
00:12:53,200 --> 00:13:03,360
the township. We used LPR readers to
make to to make an arrest on that almost

154
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:07,279
within a day. So, great police work that
the guys did. That's a good tool. But

155
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:12,000
2028, we're going to have some license
fees do.

156
00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:16,720
I talked about the body warn cameras and
the incar camera. That is also the 2028

157
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,480
issue.
But the one that we're going to try to

158
00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:24,959
plan for tonight is going to be our
incar computers. Officers do everything

159
00:13:22,959 --> 00:13:28,720
on these computers. Of course, they get
dispatched on them. That's how they

160
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:33,200
write their reports, do their crashes,
issue their tickets, look up criminal

161
00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:37,600
history. Everything's done on these
computers. It's mandated by the county

162
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:44,160
that we replace them every, I believe,
five years. 2028 they're due with a

163
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:51,440
price tag of about $105,000.
Last year, I'm sorry, for 2025, we put

164
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:56,639
away $50,000 capital purchase to begin
tackling this problem. I'm going to ask

165
00:13:53,920 --> 00:14:00,800
for that 50 plus another 10, so that we
can at least say

166
00:13:58,959 --> 00:14:05,440
the most important thing, the computers
are taken care of for 2028. That leaves

167
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:12,639
us time to look at these grants if they
come in for 2026 and plan for some of

168
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:18,240
those additional looming issues in 27
and 28. So, we're asking for a total of

169
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:22,440
60,000 in capital purchases, which is
10,000 more than last year.

170
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:33,440
All right. So, this takes us to our
review. Again, over time, we we took

171
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:38,240
that back down to to 2025's hours. I'm
sorry, amount. So, that's saving

172
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:42,480
$16,000.
Operationally, we decreased the

173
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:50,000
operations budget 6,700.
Wages in light of the 3.5%

174
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:55,440
raises only actually went up 64,000. So
overall, we kept the budget at $140,000

175
00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:01,279
more than
2025. It's about a 1.55%

176
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:05,120
increase.
And that's pretty much the budget we

177
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:08,639
have. I believe that we're going to be
able to continue our operations,

178
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,560
continue giving the public the service
that they deserve and give the officers

179
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:17,360
the tools that they need with this
budget. And I just thank you for

180
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:19,760
considering it.
>> Questions?

181
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,839
» Thank you, Lieutenant.
>> Thank you.

182
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:28,399
» I had questions, but as uh you went
through your presentations, they got

183
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:33,360
answered. So, very well put together. I
appreciate it. I believe Jack was

184
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:38,000
tracking down a few questions. Yeah, of
course,

185
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:42,320
Lieutenant Shaver. Yeah. Um, only
because I' I've heard from the

186
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:49,440
community. It's not really It may not be
budget related depending on how it gets

187
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:55,519
handled. Um, school resource officer.
Okay. I hear, you know, I hear comments

188
00:15:51,759 --> 00:16:00,560
back uh from the school, etc. I know you
guys do patrols, but could you cover

189
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:06,800
that? Is that including the budget? Is
there any plans for increased presence

190
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:10,480
in the school system?
>> Well, as far as a school resource

191
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:14,079
officer, that's something that has to be
worked out between the school board's

192
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,839
budget and the police's budget. And I
believe that our budgets are at

193
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,759
different times of the year. So, that
would be something that we would have to

194
00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:23,120
get in line.
>> Yeah. They're on a different cycle,

195
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:26,880
» correct? with with their budget because
there are ways that that police

196
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:32,160
departments and school districts split
that cost since the officer spends most

197
00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:36,880
their time in the school. But we would
always be open to listening to that

198
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:41,759
conversation. We do spend a lot of of
time patrolling the schools, keeping

199
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:47,040
them safe, working with the schools. We
have monthly meetings that we engage

200
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:52,399
with them to share information.
They have their own school.

201
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:57,680
I don't want to butcher his title, but
they have their own school mandated

202
00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:03,920
security personnel that has to work with
their safety plans and coordinate with

203
00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:10,160
us um different safety drills that we
conduct with them on a monthly basis

204
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:14,079
sometimes, but multiple times a year.
So, we're always engaging with that with

205
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:20,319
that with them.
This past summer, we heavily engaged

206
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:27,039
with them with some training exercises
where I brought in fire and EMS and we

207
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:32,799
did some very long extensive training
for active shooter stuff. Um, so we we

208
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:37,440
did partner with them to do that. Our
our officers do go into school. We try

209
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:44,960
to be there in the morning for drop offs
a lot. We we help with traffic every day

210
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:48,720
when school lets out. But as far as a
specific school resource officer, that

211
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:52,240
would have to be something that's worked
out with the school district in line

212
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:57,360
with their budget as well.
>> That would probably not a quite a good

213
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:02,960
question because I understand I
understand that that the school board

214
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:10,160
would have to uh allocate funds for
that. It was more of the your the extra

215
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:16,960
police presence in the school and you've
answered that. I appreciate you. Um the

216
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:23,840
I'm still a little puzzled on the
470,000.

217
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:29,720
Okay. Uh that you listed. Was that what
you believe? Uh where was it?

218
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:36,480
» It's
>> It was the next slide, I believe. Yep.

219
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:41,679
» Yeah. Overtime um uh over overtime by
year 2025. Is that what you're

220
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:45,120
projecting for 2025 or is that what was
in the budget?

221
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:47,840
» That is what we budgeted for 2025.
>> Uh then you know what my next question

222
00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:53,000
is.
>> Why is it where you

223
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:53,000
» Oh, where am I at?

224
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,880
» I can get that.
>> And if you don't have it handy, it's

225
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,280
fine.
>> I do have So that graph that we made

226
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:05,520
» Yeah.
>> is I have the numbers for that, but I

227
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:09,360
put in percentages so I don't get you
the exact number. Is it above or below?

228
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,400
» It would be Oh, it's below that. We're
below that.

229
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,720
» Okay.
>> Yeah. And and those numbers are figured

230
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:19,760
in with overtime that hasn't occurred
yet between what we anticipate

231
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:23,520
reimburseable with the school yet and a
few of the there's some last minute

232
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:28,559
lowlight shooting that the officers have
to do. So, we'll be below what we

233
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,640
anticipated most.
>> Okay. And then for 2026, you use the

234
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:37,120
same number.
>> I did use the same number. So, when we

235
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:44,320
started working on the budget, um,
finance gave me a number of $473,000

236
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:52,640
based on simply taking the raises that
we would expect and applying the same

237
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:56,799
percentages of overtime usage to 2026.
That's when I looked at it and I said,

238
00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:02,640
let's take it down and just keep it the
same dollar amount as 2025 to show no

239
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,960
increase. And that's why I'm saying we
saved about 16,000.

240
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:14,640
» Okay. Um
uh your admin person uh you're going to

241
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:17,600
lose her part-time in next May if I
remember correctly.

242
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:22,000
» Okay, that's what she's
>> and is it

243
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:26,320
I maybe I shouldn't be asking this
because I'm not sure I want to know the

244
00:20:23,679 --> 00:20:29,919
answer. But what are the plans then?
What are your plans?

245
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:36,159
» So that position has changed over the
years. Um, I've been here 28 years.

246
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:41,760
We've had different different part-time
admin personnel. Um, one full-time, one

247
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:46,799
part-time, two full part or two
full-time and a part-time. It's changed

248
00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:53,679
over the years. And part of the reason
for that changing is technology, um, how

249
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:58,720
we do things. So, they don't file paper
citations anymore. They don't do a lot

250
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:05,280
of paper related things anymore. And as
we change, we can we we lose work for

251
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:11,919
that person to do. Additionally, some of
the work that that person does right

252
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:16,720
now, we delegated because we were busy
and it's really stuff that we think a

253
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:21,280
police officer should be doing anyway.
So that's something that we would take

254
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:26,080
back. And then dispatching as well.
That's not like a technological change.

255
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:30,400
We no longer try to dispatch anything
from our office. people sometimes

256
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:34,559
instead of calling 911, we call the
officers directly. We try to take that

257
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:39,520
away because it's safer when it's done
through Burk's radio. So even answering

258
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,080
the phones is less.
That's why I think that we'll be able to

259
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,840
do without that position.
>> Okay. So it'll just be completely

260
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:50,960
eliminated
>> most likely. Yes. That's what we

261
00:21:47,679 --> 00:21:55,520
budgeted for. Um that budget's based on
running those numbers of when we

262
00:21:52,559 --> 00:22:02,960
anticipate her to her to work this year.
>> Okay. Um, last question I have is I

263
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:06,799
don't see any capital improvements.
You have no capital really listed other

264
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:11,520
than what you just mentioned there.
There's there we're not you're not

265
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:17,760
asking for capital to start putting it
away for that 2028 as an example for the

266
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:23,039
mobile uh units.
>> Not other than the $60,000 for the MCT,

267
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:28,159
right? That is that is the capital
purchase that we're asking for for 2028

268
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:32,320
just for the the computers.
>> Yeah. And but is that that's not a fixed

269
00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:36,400
cost at this point?
>> That three years

270
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:42,159
» it's most like for the computers itself
that most likely will cover it based on

271
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:47,840
the 50,000 that we put away in 2025. So
we we if we get if you approve the

272
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:52,320
$60,000 in that category, we should have
enough for the MCTs.

273
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:56,720
» Okay. All right. Good. Okay. But I when
I didn't when I don't see capital, I I

274
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,720
start thinking, uh oh,
>> sure.

275
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:05,919
» All of a sudden, we're going to get hit
with a a possible capital request that

276
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:11,840
was not was not planned or maybe you
knew about and didn't let us know.

277
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:15,280
» We'll be back knocking next year for the
other thing.

278
00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:18,799
» Okay, good. Thank you, Lieutenant.
That's it for me,

279
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:24,759
» Supervisor.
No, I understand.

280
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:24,759
[Music]

281
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:30,799
» Supervisor H.
>> I don't think at this time.

282
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:35,039
» Just a couple of things for me. Um,
you've mentioned the operational

283
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:41,679
increase on the body cameras and the
bulletproof vests. There are grants that

284
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:49,039
are being pursued. Um,
do you know when uh you could hear about

285
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:54,400
it? So, the bulletproof vest grant
is usually a sure thing. Um, that's

286
00:23:51,840 --> 00:24:01,280
something that we go through every year,
but it does have to happen after we

287
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:04,880
go through a process. As far as the
grant for the cameras, I believe that

288
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,000
the earliest we could hear from that is
March.

289
00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:10,240
» So, they're in theory, they could be at
zero as far as

290
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:14,080
» it could be.
>> Uh, the other thing, it's an ask. Uh,

291
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:19,200
it's not a comment or anything. I would
like to look at you over time by year,

292
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:23,679
work with Bill and see how we could
improve.

293
00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:28,880
Other than that, if there's nobody else
having any other questions,

294
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:33,559
» I appreciate you and I appreciate your
presentation. Well done.

295
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,559
» Thank you.

296
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:43,080
» All right, we're switching
it.

297
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,519
[Music]

298
00:24:56,799 --> 00:25:00,840
I have it up on the screen. Check.

299
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:15,600
» Good to go.
>> Good to go, sir.

300
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:19,440
» Okay. Uh Chris Jordan, fire chief, Exit
Township Volunteer Fire Department. Uh

301
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:24,720
first of all, thank you for allowing us
to present the 2026 budget this evening.

302
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:29,279
Um thank you to the board of
supervisors, also the residents for your

303
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:33,600
support over the last year and in
previous years.

304
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:37,679
We're very proud of what we accomplished
in this past year and we're still

305
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:41,520
accomplishing more. Um, and I'm
personally very proud of all of our crew

306
00:25:39,919 --> 00:25:47,760
and all the accomplishments that they've
had over the last year.

307
00:25:44,159 --> 00:25:54,400
Um, just to name a few, in 2025 we
placed Tower Ladder 25 in service. Um,

308
00:25:51,440 --> 00:26:01,200
so you'll see that on the street and
great asset to the community. Uh, we

309
00:25:57,039 --> 00:26:05,919
also had six new members achieve their
essentials of firefighting training this

310
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:09,840
year. Uh that's a 200 hour training
class and they'll all be testing for

311
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:14,799
their firefighter one certification in
the beginning part of November. So you

312
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:18,880
know most fire departments or fire
companies in in the county might have

313
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:23,120
one or two. So we're very proud that we
have you know six that went through the

314
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:28,240
class and and actually started and
finished the entire class. Quite an

315
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:32,880
accomplishment for those members. Um,
I'm also proud to say that we over the

316
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:37,919
past year, we've expanded our junior
firefighter program, which is members

317
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:42,799
ages 14 to 17 years of age. We made a
push on that to tell replenishing uh

318
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:46,000
that program. We've gone from six
members at this time last year to now we

319
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,559
have 12.
>> So, that's a great accomplishment to um,

320
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:55,360
you know, the school district's been
helping us, but also to our crew for

321
00:26:52,720 --> 00:27:00,640
helping with those recruitment efforts.
>> So, thank you again.

322
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:05,200
Uh before we get into the numbers, I
just wanted to uh reiterate the

323
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:11,679
priorities of the department. Um the
first priority is to continue to provide

324
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:16,159
247 365 days a year in-house staffing.
Uh one of the things that our fire

325
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:22,640
department does is we have in-house
staffing uh 247 365.

326
00:27:19,919 --> 00:27:30,480
You know, that's done through our career
staff, but also our volunteers that we

327
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:35,600
incentivize to staff our fire station.
The second priority is the centrallylo

328
00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:40,159
emergency services center, which we've
talked at length about.

329
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,679
Third priority is to continue to
solidify our apparatus replacement plan,

330
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,760
which we'll talk about a little bit
later.

331
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:52,559
Fourth priority is to continue to
enhance community relations with local

332
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:56,640
businesses and community organizations.
Over the years, we've had great

333
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:01,520
relationships with the local businesses
um and also many community organizations

334
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:06,880
that we continue to support and they
support us um through various events

335
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:10,159
during the year.
And then last but not least, we want to

336
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:14,799
continue to enhance our recruitment and
training efforts. Um, one of the one of

337
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:19,360
the things that I wanted to do when I
took over as fire chief is to continue

338
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:25,039
to make sure that our members that we
have in place are being productive uh

339
00:28:21,919 --> 00:28:31,760
and retain them, but also to make sure
that we're recruiting new recruits and

340
00:28:27,679 --> 00:28:36,320
also training them properly. Um,
you know, the next essentials class will

341
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:40,320
start sometime in January or February,
and I'm hoping to get another six

342
00:28:38,399 --> 00:28:43,840
enrolled in that class so that at this
time next year, I can tell you we have

343
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:47,480
another six firefighters on the street.
So, that's the goal.

344
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:59,679
Some historical call volume.
Sorry, on the wrong page.

345
00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:04,799
Um, so a lot of the community may not
know who we are. Um, you know, we're

346
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:09,120
Exit Township Volunteer Fire Department,
but we're a combination fire department.

347
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:14,799
Um, currently we're staffed by
volunteers. We do have full-time staff

348
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:18,799
and we do have part-time personnel.
So, right now we have 75 active

349
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:23,120
volunteers. That would include the
junior members and also the fire police

350
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:28,159
members. We have two full-time
firefighters that cover our daytime

351
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:32,720
operations.
And then we have 20 part-time

352
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:38,159
firefighters that fill five positions
during the daytime hours. You know, in

353
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:42,799
the past, you know, the firefighters
would work at the local hardware st

354
00:29:39,919 --> 00:29:49,440
store, leave to go fight a fire or
protect the community. Those days are

355
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:53,360
long gone. So, what we're doing is
maintaining a combination department

356
00:29:51,679 --> 00:29:58,159
where it's a combination of volunteers
and career staff, you know, to help

357
00:29:55,279 --> 00:30:02,559
protect the community.
And we provide all disciplines of the

358
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,320
fire service. Fire suppression, you
know, truck and aerial work, rescue, we

359
00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:13,600
fight brush fires. We have tankers for
the rural end of the township. We also

360
00:30:10,399 --> 00:30:18,159
have fire police. We have QRS and EMS
which help support the lifeline EMS

361
00:30:15,919 --> 00:30:21,679
program. And then we also have water
rescue.

362
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:29,180
And once again, the goal is to continue
to maintain that 247 365 program.

363
00:30:25,980 --> 00:30:29,180
[Music]

364
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:39,919
From a call volume perspective, um, in
2023 we responded to 1468 emergency

365
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:44,480
responses. About 80 of those were from
the flooding uh, in July, which we've

366
00:30:42,399 --> 00:30:50,320
talked about. Last year, we were at
1401, and this year we're at 1,200 at

367
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:56,960
the end of September. So, that would put
us right around uh, 1,550 calls for the

368
00:30:54,799 --> 00:31:04,559
year. you know, which obviously is about
a 10% increase from last year.

369
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:09,600
Some statist some stats from last year,
20% of our calls were overlapped,

370
00:31:06,559 --> 00:31:13,679
meaning that um when you're out on a
call, we may get another call during

371
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:20,440
that time, which again, we try to
maintain at least two crews in place

372
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,440
that they can respond to that.

373
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:28,559
77% of those calls were fire and rescue
calls and then 23% were QRS and EMS

374
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:32,399
calls.
78% of our responses were to exit

375
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:37,679
township in St. Lawrence Burough, which
would be our first two area. And our

376
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:42,360
dispatch to our average dispatch uh to
response time is 1 minute and 5 seconds.

377
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:57,919
Okay, on to the budget. Um, the current
fire tax is at I'm going to say 1.07

378
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:04,000
mills. That's where the current fire tax
is. At this point in time, we're not

379
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:10,080
requesting a tax increase for the 2026
operational budget.

380
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:13,200
So, the operational budget encompasses
pretty much everything we need to

381
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:18,799
operate.
Vehicle and personal insuranceances,

382
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:24,559
fuel for e vehicles, workman's comp,
things of that nature.

383
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:31,440
The fire tax generates approximately
$1.4 million in the course of a year.

384
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:37,360
And on the expense line, uh if you go
down to the bottom, you can see that uh

385
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:42,720
the line items are pretty close to where
they were last year. A few callouts. Um

386
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,559
as Lieutenant Schaefer mentioned, you
know, we're seeing increases in

387
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:49,919
insurance costs as well. So, workman's
comp, we're projecting to be around

388
00:32:48,399 --> 00:32:55,519
$75,000
for next year.

389
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:00,880
Um, under line uh for fire or
contributions in fire, that line item is

390
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:04,720
for our career staff and our part-
timerrs. That also includes the health

391
00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:11,600
insurance of those me of the two
full-timers. Uh, right now, we're

392
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:18,159
anticipating from 2025 to 2026, that
should be about a 20% increase over last

393
00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:24,720
year. A few factors play into that. Um,
number one, the overall health insurance

394
00:33:19,919 --> 00:33:28,640
has gone up, but number two, um,
one of our full-timers resigned and we

395
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:32,159
got a new full-timer and his health
insurance was a little bit higher than

396
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:36,399
the old one we had. So, that's part of
the increase.

397
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:41,840
Um, another note, if you go to the
bottom, um, you know, Supervisor Pio

398
00:33:39,679 --> 00:33:45,360
mentioned about capital purchases. So
that last line item, transfer to

399
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:51,120
apparatus,
that's our capital or capital program

400
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:57,519
for apparatus replacement.
So we took that from $235,000

401
00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:02,880
a year. We increased that to $250,000 a
year. We're in the process currently of

402
00:34:00,399 --> 00:34:07,440
looking at, you know, replacing one of
our apparatus based on our apparatus

403
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:13,119
replacement program. And that apparatus
is projected to come in somewhere

404
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:18,320
between 1.3 and 1.5 million.
If you haven't followed with the federal

405
00:34:14,879 --> 00:34:23,040
government, um the cost of fire
apparatus has skyrocketed over the last

406
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:29,119
few years to the point where I believe
it's Senator Holly is very vocal with

407
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:34,000
the federal government to try to stop
the increases of the fire apparatus and

408
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:39,679
try to actually bring them down and get
the fire apparatus manufacturers more in

409
00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:43,280
line with where they should be.
the the apparatus that we're looking at

410
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:46,879
replacing,
you know, at at the current rate, it

411
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:51,760
would take us about six years to acrew
the funds to replace that apparatus

412
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:59,839
without taking a loan or coming to the
board um with with a big with a big ask.

413
00:34:57,359 --> 00:35:04,599
So hopefully
the price of apparatus will start to

414
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:10,640
relax and come down a little bit, but
we're not sure. So, we are looking at

415
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:14,640
alternatives. You know, there's there's
something called a refurbishment where

416
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:19,040
you could look at refurbishing a current
apparatus and bringing it more up to

417
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:23,920
speed. Um, you know, you could also go a
used apparatus route, which are things

418
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:28,720
we're all looking at. But, you know, in
the past, um, the apparatus that's being

419
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:33,200
replaced has been used as a reserve
piece in case one of our apparatus goes

420
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:38,000
down for mechanical issues or some other
major issues.

421
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:42,320
Any
questions before we go on from that

422
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:50,000
slide?
>> So you're just your delta is 4,500

423
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:54,480
bucks.
>> Is that the difference that you're

424
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:58,320
seeking pretty much is this here or just
going to cover it in house?

425
00:35:55,839 --> 00:36:02,480
» So that's actually
we're actually not we're not asking for

426
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:06,800
any more.
So the the delta where it shows 4500 I

427
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:12,320
believe that's what they're planning
that we would earn in the revenue line

428
00:36:09,359 --> 00:36:14,320
this year versus last year.
It's from interest and

429
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,640
» yeah fair enough
>> other things

430
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:27,200
» but yes if in the operational side I
think it's I think it's 1,433,000

431
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:33,400
versus 1,432
that would be covered with

432
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:33,400
uh internal

433
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:40,720
» um some again some budget notes so
everything in here in the budget is uh

434
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:47,440
all of our anticipated expenses related
to vehicle and insurance, fuel,

435
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:53,119
911 uh communications payment, which you
know, currently um

436
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:56,320
and
manager, you might have to correct me if

437
00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:02,079
I'm wrong, but I I believe we're also
paying for the EMS

438
00:36:59,599 --> 00:37:05,280
communications fee out of this.
>> I don't know that.

439
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:08,960
» Something we may want to look into, but
I believe it's EMS and fire. The

440
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:13,440
communications fees are coming out of
that. I believe so. we might want to

441
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:17,040
look at we'll look at that together.
>> Um

442
00:37:15,359 --> 00:37:20,400
workman's compensation insurance which
we talked about apparatus maintenance

443
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:24,960
and also the payroll and benefits for
the full-time personnel and then the

444
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:30,240
payroll for the part-time personnel the
volunteer incentive program and also the

445
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:34,880
apparatus replacement program.
And just to reiterate for the for the

446
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:43,560
app for the uh operational side of the
fire department, we are not asking for a

447
00:37:37,359 --> 00:37:43,560
tax increase this fiscal year of 2026.

448
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:50,720
» 10 out of 10. Thank you.
>> Any questions?

449
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:57,520
» Um just wondering why did you drop uh
the fire vehicle maintenance

450
00:37:53,760 --> 00:38:01,760
25,000 from your operation? So last year
we knew we were going to have some

451
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:06,000
pretty significant maintenance costs. Um
you know one of our apparatus I believe

452
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:10,320
had to have some engine work done. This
year we're not anticipating that blue.

453
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:19,200
Hopefully none of that happens. So
hopefully the maintenance can come down.

454
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:23,760
Um and it's it's reallocated into the
uh what would be the contributions fire

455
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,960
which is a salary and benefits and
things like that to cover those

456
00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:32,720
increases.
Fair enough. Appreciate it. Thank you.

457
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:39,040
» Anybody has a question for
>> Yeah, I'm not sure. Um, St. Lawrence,

458
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:42,560
what what are they paying you fire? What
do they pay us?

459
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:52,079
» Yeah, so right now St. Lawrence's fire
tax is at I believe it's at 67 mills.

460
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:56,720
Um, and that money is split between exit
and also Mount Penny.

461
00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:01,680
So that generates I believe it generates
approximately $12,000 per year per fire

462
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,760
department.
>> That's it. Do we anticipating an

463
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:08,480
increase? I mean that's
>> Yeah. So I've worked with the chief at M

464
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:12,040
» basically free
>> and we put together

465
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:22,400
well we could talk about St. offline.
But so they we put together a plan where

466
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:31,079
um there's increases every year in the
fire tax. Um and it's it's basically

467
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,079
contracted services with them.

468
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:42,040
But good question. They do contribute
but it's I mean dollar-wise it's it's

469
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,040
small making.

470
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:49,280
Um, any other questions for the chief
here from the rest of the board?

471
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,800

» All right. Uh, I don't know if anybody
signed up for public comments. I don't

475
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:09,920
see anything written on the sheets. So,
we're going to move on to adjourment.

476
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:12,560
Do I have a motion to adjour the budget
workshop?

477
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:18,040

>> Do I have a second?

00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,040
» I'll second
