Those are significant cycles. 176 00:11:01,970 --> 00:11:06,910 Under regular auditing standards, all we have to do is test one of those transactions, and we've met those standards. 177 00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:11,210 The yellow book standard says, no, we need you to actually test controls. 178 00:11:11,870 --> 00:11:17,490 State Auditor also expands that, and there's 21 potential items that we have to test. 179 00:11:17,730 --> 00:11:20,270 Things like travel and podium procurement. 180 00:11:21,070 --> 00:11:26,430 So in our state, we look at a lot more transactions, and we also take the yellow book standards, 181 00:11:27,050 --> 00:11:30,110 and also make them a little bit more stringent when it comes to findings. 182 00:11:30,670 --> 00:11:33,690 When you have that yellow book standard, you have what we call significant matters, 183 00:11:33,690 --> 00:11:35,150 which is up here. 184 00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:41,070 New Mexico State Audit Rule says, no, we want any finding, any exception reported as a finding 185 00:11:41,070 --> 00:11:41,750 in our state. 186 00:11:42,070 --> 00:11:44,730 We don't care what the yellow book standards dictate. 187 00:11:45,070 --> 00:11:50,670 And so we have more transactions in our state that we test, and we have a lot more findings 188 00:11:50,670 --> 00:11:55,510 in our state than other states, because of the fact that the state audit will requires it. 189 00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:58,130 And the whole purpose for that is transparency. 190 00:11:58,450 --> 00:12:01,090 The state audit wants us to learn from audits. 191 00:12:01,090 --> 00:12:04,630 audits are a tool to get better, to enhance internal controls. 192 00:12:05,470 --> 00:12:09,010 And so we went through, we had to follow two different standards in completing your audit. 193 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:13,490 This slide talks about the results of just the regular auditing standard. 194 00:12:14,090 --> 00:12:19,070 We're issuing an unmodified opinion, which is exactly the type of report that the county wants 195 00:12:19,070 --> 00:12:19,470 to receive. 196 00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:21,630 It's a clean opinion and that's why I put there. 197 00:12:21,810 --> 00:12:25,150 It states that your financial statements are materially correct. 198 00:12:26,110 --> 00:12:31,530 In your audit report, our two other reports that are ours, the one on the left is that 199 00:12:31,530 --> 00:12:35,610 yellow book report that I talked about, and we don't give an opinion there. 200 00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:40,930 All we do is state how we test internal controls in accordance with those standards, above 201 00:12:40,930 --> 00:12:42,570 regular auditing standards require. 202 00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:48,610 The one on the right is because the county receives more than seven hundred or spends more 203 00:12:48,610 --> 00:12:52,850 than seven hundred fifty thousand federal funds, you have a compliance audit that you have 204 00:12:52,850 --> 00:12:53,410 to do. 205 00:12:53,410 --> 00:13:00,270 We go through and test those federal grants and based upon our testing, we again are issuing an unmodified opinion. 206 00:13:00,770 --> 00:13:06,230 So both opinions we're issuing are exactly the type of reports that the county wants to receive. 207 00:13:06,990 --> 00:13:10,750 This next slide is talking about difficulties encountered before from the auto. 208 00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:15,910 The whole reason standards do this is to let the commission know how are your records being maintained. 209 00:13:16,590 --> 00:13:18,670 And as you can see here, we did not have any issues. 210 00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:21,630 As we asked for supporting documents, it's given to us entirely. 211 00:13:21,630 --> 00:13:27,970 given to us in good order. We did not have any problems. And so the takeaway here is your financial 212 00:13:27,970 --> 00:13:34,210 records are being well maintained by your finance staff. The next one is also a very important 213 00:13:34,210 --> 00:13:40,130 one because if we as auditors are having to change numbers the commission should know because then 214 00:13:40,130 --> 00:13:43,850 you might need to be a little bit more critical of the financial statements as you get them throughout the 215 00:13:43,850 --> 00:13:49,250 year. But as you can see here we did not have any adjustments as we went through our audit process. 216 00:13:49,250 --> 00:14:02,710 So, again, the communication here is the council or the commission should feel confident in the numbers as they're being reported to you throughout the year because your infrastructure, how you're processing the data is working and we did not have any issues. 217 00:14:04,750 --> 00:14:13,830 The last thing is talking about the findings, even with that lower threshold, even with the expanded transactions that we had to test, the county is following all your procedures. 218 00:14:13,830 --> 00:14:15,430 So they're doing everything properly. 219 00:14:15,970 --> 00:14:18,070 We did not have a single exception as we went 220 00:14:18,070 --> 00:14:19,170 throughout our audit process. 221 00:14:19,330 --> 00:14:22,510 So there were no findings, and I can't tell you. 222 00:14:22,510 --> 00:14:24,390 But I think it's been a few years since we've had a finding. 223 00:14:24,570 --> 00:14:25,950 It's probably been four or five years. 224 00:14:27,890 --> 00:14:30,050 So the policies and procedures that have been established 225 00:14:30,050 --> 00:14:30,790 are working. 226 00:14:31,310 --> 00:14:33,090 The county went through a conversion a couple of years 227 00:14:33,090 --> 00:14:35,030 to a new software to be honest. 228 00:14:35,170 --> 00:14:37,430 Normally when that happens, audits are late. 229 00:14:38,010 --> 00:14:40,170 Because changing from one software to another, 230 00:14:40,830 --> 00:14:41,690 we were never late. 231 00:14:41,690 --> 00:14:49,030 The county has actually did a very good job in that transition, probably one of the better ones I've ever seen and so 232 00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:56,350 I think again finance department is running well and doing a good job and I think it's something that the county should be proud of 233 00:14:56,350 --> 00:14:59,970 We'll talk here on this next two slides again 234 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,100 I think it's something that the county should be proud of, because you do what we call an annual 235 00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:11,020 comprehensive financial report. Act for is what it's more commonly referred to. Your financial 236 00:15:11,020 --> 00:15:17,520 audit that you get includes a lot of information, a lot of statistical information that is not 237 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,680 required by the state. Audit rule is not required by auditing standards. It's only, it's a 238 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:28,680 different, it's a higher threshold that GFOA, the government finance officer's association establishes, 239 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,620 And you submit your audit for an award and we'll talk about that here in a moment. 240 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:40,380 But there's a lot of extra information that takes more effort to get your act for done than it would if you didn't do it. 241 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:50,380 So the GFOA program, the county is only one of 19 governments in the state of New Mexico and there's over 700 governments in New Mexico. 242 00:15:50,380 --> 00:15:54,240 only one of 19 that goes after this award or that receives this award. 243 00:15:54,980 --> 00:16:01,300 The county is one of five counties out of the 33 in the state that receives this award. 244 00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:03,060 So again, it is something prestigious. 245 00:16:03,540 --> 00:16:06,720 It is something that takes effort and you submit your audit report. 246 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:07,680 They go through the checklist. 247 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,660 I give you comments. 248 00:16:09,660 --> 00:16:11,620 And then they say whether you pass or fail. 249 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,820 And the last three years, you guys have passed. 250 00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:18,920 And so again, that's something I think you should be. 251 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,060 your citizens should be happy because there's a lot of information that you can get out of 252 00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:27,740 your financial statements, it's normally not there. The last bullet point I have here is the 253 00:16:27,740 --> 00:16:34,020 triple crown. So GFOA has three different types of awards that you potentially can get. There's 254 00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:40,480 the Achfer, the Paffer, and then the Budget Award. You are one of only six New Mexico governments 255 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,920 that receives all three of those that get the triple crown. So again, not a lot of people strive 256 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:51,400 and go after those awards, and again something the county should be very proud of. 257 00:16:52,620 --> 00:16:56,300 So that is all the required communication, the last few slides are just some financial 258 00:16:56,300 --> 00:17:04,760 highlights. In your financial statements, we have four pages that are on what we call full 259 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,820 accrual, where we have long-term assets, long-term liabilities that show up. When you get your 260 00:17:09,820 --> 00:17:14,700 financial reports and how you report to DFA is a different methodology of accounting. It's 261 00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:19,890 base is accounting. This is full of cruel, more like a business. So at the end of the year, 262 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:27,970 the county ended up with 990 million, yeah, 990 million in assets, 89 million in liabilities, 263 00:17:28,860 --> 00:17:33,700 giving you net assets which in essence is your equity of 901 million dollars. 264 00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:39,340 The components of your assets, the biggest component is cash and then investments. 265 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:44,760 You have not quite 700 million in investment investments. 266 00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:47,640 Receiveables are 20 million. 267 00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:50,760 Your capital assets are 278 million. 268 00:17:51,260 --> 00:17:57,620 To further outflows, which really relates to your pension amounts that you send to the state of New Mexico. 269 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,840 There's 20 million in assets there. 270 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,600 Liabilities, you ended up with 89 million in liabilities. 271 00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:09,120 The biggest one is actually out of the county's control. 272 00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:15,080 You can see the pension liability and the net-opead liability and that deferred inflows. 273 00:18:15,740 --> 00:18:19,220 All those relate to para and retiree healthcare. 274 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,000 So the pension and retiree healthcare plans. 275 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,840 What happens is the county is responsible for making payments based upon payrolls. 276 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:36,800 And again, that is one of the things we looked at when I talked about how the state order expands our testing and we had no issues with the payments getting set to the state. 277 00:18:37,220 --> 00:18:43,100 But what happens is the state of New Mexico, for example, para, is $6 billion underfunded. 278 00:18:43,340 --> 00:18:48,200 And what that means is their assets are less than their projected liabilities. 279 00:18:49,260 --> 00:18:53,580 And by $6 billion and what happens is the state allocates that amount. 280 00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:59,180 out your portion you have to book as a liability in your financial statements even though it's 281 00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:03,660 out of your control. So the majority of the liabilities on this financial statement, this set 282 00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:08,100 of financial statements really the county has no control over.

We've 636 00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:37,520 got our crushing operation rate to about $8.9 per ton, which is almost half of what we're 637 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,720 crashing for two or three years ago. 638 00:37:40,300 --> 00:37:41,980 So we really think this is the method to do. 639 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,100 This is a couple of dollars cheaper than we could go 640 00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:46,160 out to the private sector to produce the same material 641 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:46,940 for us. 642 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,360 We've rented this machine now for three months. 643 00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:52,660 Those rental fees would be applied towards the purchase 644 00:37:52,660 --> 00:37:53,500 of this machine. 645 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,080 And I would ask for your approval in the purchase. 646 00:37:58,180 --> 00:37:59,620 It is budgetary. 647 00:38:00,620 --> 00:38:05,200 I'd love to make that motion, because it's a good thing to have. 648 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,660 I only regret it, don't get to play with it myself. 649 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,800 Yes, I'll make a motion to prove. 650 00:38:11,220 --> 00:38:11,680 Can you make a motion? 651 00:38:12,180 --> 00:38:13,500 Yes, I'll start with it. 652 00:38:13,860 --> 00:38:15,080 OK, we have a motion in a second. 653 00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:16,300 It's certainly public comment. 654 00:38:17,380 --> 00:38:18,480 There's no commissioner comment. 655 00:38:21,490 --> 00:38:22,510 So you devote? 656 00:38:23,570 --> 00:38:24,030 Sure, anything? 657 00:38:24,210 --> 00:38:24,650 Yes. 658 00:38:24,650 --> 00:38:25,430 Did I show your luck on this? 659 00:38:25,610 --> 00:38:26,050 Yes. 660 00:38:26,050 --> 00:38:26,910 I'll come and show you. 661 00:38:27,170 --> 00:38:27,450 Yes? 662 00:38:27,450 --> 00:38:28,090 I'll show you. 663 00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:28,910 Yes. 664 00:38:29,170 --> 00:38:29,190 I'll show you. 665 00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:30,910 Yes. 666 00:38:34,670 --> 00:38:38,410 Consideration of Lee County Resolution 25, January 0, 21, 667 00:38:38,410 --> 00:38:41,670 are, would authorize the easement and construction agreement 668 00:38:41,670 --> 00:38:44,450 between Lee County and Excel Energy for improvements 669 00:38:44,450 --> 00:38:47,490 at the, we kind of regional airport. 670 00:38:47,970 --> 00:38:50,070 As you guys know, over the last year and a half, 671 00:38:50,210 --> 00:38:53,350 we've been extending a runway moving some navigational 672 00:38:53,350 --> 00:38:54,670 aids, different things. 673 00:38:55,450 --> 00:38:57,050 Excel Energy worked with us great. 674 00:38:57,190 --> 00:39:00,250 They were able to install those underground improvements, 675 00:39:00,370 --> 00:39:04,090 get us fed back with minimal outages during that time period. 676 00:39:04,090 --> 00:39:16,890 And this is the housekeeping for those underground improvements that they made and so this is granting them an easement for that primary electric that was buried with that project. 677 00:39:17,150 --> 00:39:23,710 No cost to Lee County. They produce the survey. This would just be granting them the easement for the line they already have in the ground. 678 00:39:24,450 --> 00:39:26,330 I'll make a motion that we approve. 679 00:39:26,610 --> 00:39:27,490 I'll start our commitment. 680 00:39:27,910 --> 00:39:29,290 I'll have a motion in a second, sir. 681 00:39:29,430 --> 00:39:30,330 Any public comment? 682 00:39:31,770 --> 00:39:32,890 Commissioner comment? 683 00:39:34,050 --> 00:39:35,390 Mr. Perseet to vote? 684 00:39:36,250 --> 00:39:36,810 Yes. 685 00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:39,770 Yes. 686 00:39:41,010 --> 00:39:41,170 Yes. 687 00:39:41,550 --> 00:39:41,590 Yes. 688 00:39:41,590 --> 00:39:41,950 Yes. 689 00:39:42,590 --> 00:39:42,750 Yes. 690 00:39:46,530 --> 00:39:46,990 Yes. 691 00:39:46,990 --> 00:39:54,030 to roads, consideration of resolution 25, January 22, are a proven engineering task court or 692 00:39:54,030 --> 00:40:01,450 square root services for the design of industrial. We split it into three sections. You 693 00:40:01,450 --> 00:40:08,570 can see here the yellow portion on the top left is phase one. The green section is phase two, 694 00:40:08,630 --> 00:40:14,350 and the red section would be phase three. We split those for various reasons. One is everything 695 00:40:14,350 --> 00:40:20,230 not in blue is in the county so it's going to be at a different tax rate both for a design and construction. 696 00:40:20,950 --> 00:40:26,030 The portion there in the blue is going to be largely or partially within the city limits. 697 00:40:26,230 --> 00:40:31,310 So it's going to have its different tax rates difference things going on with it. 698 00:40:31,450 --> 00:40:35,950 And then the portion is in this running up and down in the red. 699 00:40:36,550 --> 00:40:41,870 You can see we superimposed the floodway and floodplains with FEMA across there. 700 00:40:41,870 --> 00:40:46,850 And so they're going to take a whole different level of engineering and effort and coordination 701 00:40:46,850 --> 00:40:49,150 with different federal agencies to get that portion done. 702 00:40:50,390 --> 00:40:54,290 So, as you look at this task court, it's broken into three segments, and that's the reason why. 703 00:40:56,710 --> 00:41:02,570 So, we do have a long-term plan to, you know, both address our roads, but also have the bypasses 704 00:41:02,570 --> 00:41:06,050 around some of these cities, and this would be one of the two that we're looking at doing 705 00:41:06,050 --> 00:41:08,670 over the next two years around the city of Lovington. 706 00:41:10,410 --> 00:41:20,410 It's three point six miles section stretches all the way from commercial to U.S. 82. 707 00:41:22,290 --> 00:41:30,230 Like I said, broken down in three phases, FEMA be in one of the main reasons that we have to coordinate that phase three a little bit differently. 708 00:41:31,170 --> 00:41:36,670 We currently have a contract with several engineering firms, 709 00:41:36,850 --> 00:41:39,210 square root being one of them that we have on our on-call 710 00:41:39,210 --> 00:41:43,230 contract, so that's the procurement method that we'd use for this. 711 00:41:44,790 --> 00:41:46,570 The total cost for the design, 712 00:41:47,010 --> 00:41:49,490 services, surveying services, and FEMA coordination, 713 00:41:49,730 --> 00:41:58,230 it's $414,697,414,697, and it is currently budgeted 714 00:41:58,230 --> 00:42:04,230 in this year's budget for roadwork and I'd request your approval. 715 00:42:05,070 --> 00:42:07,230 I will make a motion to prove that. 716 00:42:08,050 --> 00:42:08,630 Mark in it. 717 00:42:09,670 --> 00:42:10,950 Have a motion down to second. 718 00:42:11,150 --> 00:42:12,550 Sir, you public comment. 719 00:42:13,710 --> 00:42:14,970 Additional commission to comment. 720 00:42:16,730 --> 00:42:17,650 Let's proceed to vote. 721 00:42:18,730 --> 00:42:18,770 Yes. 722 00:42:20,330 --> 00:42:20,810 Yes. 723 00:42:21,970 --> 00:42:22,150 Commissioner. 724 00:42:22,870 --> 00:42:23,050 Commissioner. 725 00:42:23,850 --> 00:42:24,190 Commissioner. 726 00:42:24,750 --> 00:42:25,070 Yes. 727 00:42:25,150 --> 00:42:29,930 According before you go to the next one, I'd like to recognize Jeremy Baker, who's with 728 00:42:29,930 --> 00:42:31,430 represents Square Root Services. 729 00:42:31,730 --> 00:42:35,490 Here, Jeremy is also my appointee for the Planning Board. 730 00:42:35,790 --> 00:42:42,890 Jeremy needs to step down from that Planning Board, because it's being a surveyer engineer 731 00:42:42,890 --> 00:42:47,530 sitting on the Planning Board is a difficult, because you always have to recuse yourself 732 00:42:48,430 --> 00:42:54,250 from speaking about your projects when you're sitting on the board and so I thank Jeremy 733 00:42:54,250 --> 00:42:58,330 for a service on that board and appreciate all the work you've done and totally understand 734 00:42:58,330 --> 00:43:00,910 why you need to step down. Thank you, Jeremy. 735 00:43:01,430 --> 00:43:01,990 Thank you, Gary. 736 00:43:03,390 --> 00:43:06,850 That board's going to be in trouble too because I'm not on there either. 737 00:43:07,730 --> 00:43:07,750 Right. 738 00:43:08,890 --> 00:43:10,870 That is two of us that won't be there. 739 00:43:11,050 --> 00:43:12,710 I had to, I have to repeat. 740 00:43:13,490 --> 00:43:16,270 It's going to be an issue for next month meeting. 741 00:43:20,420 --> 00:43:20,540 Okay. 742 00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:25,060 And this one is if you want to call it exciting. 743 00:43:25,060 --> 00:43:29,680 And this is the most exciting one that I have on the agenda today, I think. 744 00:43:31,980 --> 00:43:37,140 So 25 January, 0, 23, R. This is approving another engineering task court of a square 745 00:43:37,140 --> 00:43:44,540 of services for the design of New Mexico 28 or the road. Intersection. This is not an exception 746 00:43:44,540 --> 00:43:50,440 picture caused by an accident or anything else. This is the common situation that we got 747 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:55,460 of the drone picture about 10 days ago of Orla being the road 748 00:43:55,460 --> 00:43:57,620 that you're looking at in 128V in the one at the bottom 749 00:43:57,620 --> 00:44:00,440 of the screen that happens every night at 5am. 750 00:44:00,980 --> 00:44:03,280 Can you see the end of the line in this picture? 751 00:44:03,460 --> 00:44:04,560 It's like it's too long. 752 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,220 You're going to Orla. 753 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,940 It's five to 10 miles long. 754 00:44:10,180 --> 00:44:13,340 It's amazing that you didn't capture the traffic on 128. 755 00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:15,160 That prevents that from moving. 756 00:44:15,660 --> 00:44:16,820 It is called a gap there. 757 00:44:16,820 --> 00:44:22,820 So what happens here, crawls bad be into the right of the screen, jowl me into the left. 758 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,800 If you have any of this traffic, probably like this blue truck here, they're trying to take 759 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:27,800 a left hand turn. 760 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:33,540 It takes it a long time to be able to cross that traffic on 128 and just backs up that 761 00:44:33,540 --> 00:44:38,000 traffic for miles, miles, hours, hours on this roadway. 762 00:44:38,380 --> 00:44:45,140 So what we're proposing here is DOT is planning to redo a series of five intersections along 763 00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:49,720 this roadway, but it's as funding and different things happen over the next two to three years. 764 00:44:50,780 --> 00:44:56,080 This would address a portion of the problem that we can deal with on our side of it to 765 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,960 help alleviate that problem while we're waiting for the larger DOC. 766 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,440 T intersection project to take place. 767 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,320 So, what DOT is looking at doing is doing what they call 768 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:13,680 high T intersection, and this is out of their design plans for that project. But the yellow traffic 769 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:19,980 is going towards Carl Spad. The green traffic is going towards JAL and it kind of separates 770 00:45:19,980 --> 00:45:25,680 it, gives it Excel lanes, decil lanes, and it's a good permanent fix for that project. The other 771 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:31,660 thing is going to add even more traffic to this intersection is the currently installed Atlas 772 00:45:31,660 --> 00:45:37,460 can Bayer project. This going in and the improved intersection on it's going in. This is 773 00:45:37,460 --> 00:45:42,080 the picture that can Bayer project near that intersection about four miles south and it's 774 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,100 going to generate between four and six hundred more trucks at that intersection we believe 775 00:45:46,100 --> 00:45:51,640 per day. So I know that sounds like a lot that intersection right now is seeing about 776 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:59,540 7,000 a day. So it is, it's going to be a 10% increase. But for all those reasons, that's why I think this project is exciting. 777 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:07,600 And so what we're looking at doing in the interim, this services would help us with is come up with the right hand turning lane off of Orla 778 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:16,320 and then a free right onto New Mexico 128 so that they can get an XL lane. So that traffic that's going to cause bad to stopping everything currently 779 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,480 It can still set there, but anything going to jail has a free right and get on 128. 780 00:46:21,980 --> 00:46:24,960 You know, less than that problem by several whole. 781 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:30,000 The total cost of this is $133,671. 782 00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:31,340 And I'd request you approval. 783 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,440 I would love to make the motion to prove that. 784 00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:35,740 I'm sorry. 785 00:46:36,060 --> 00:46:36,460 Okay. 786 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:37,920 We have a motion in second. 787 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,280 Is there any public comment? 788 00:46:41,180 --> 00:46:41,980 Commissioner coming? 789 00:46:42,980 --> 00:46:44,140 Miss proceed to vote? 790 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:45,620 Yes. 791 00:46:46,580 --> 00:46:47,540 Yes. Yes. 792 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:55,880 Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. 793 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:18,840 Mr. low. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you.

I'd like to take an opportunity 841 00:51:18,660 --> 00:51:23,600 before I move on to introduce Vanessa Flanagan. Y'all know her. She's our new 842 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:30,100 finance director. She's actually here today for the first day. So she'll be heavily involved 843 00:51:30,100 --> 00:51:36,500 in this along with Anthony. I think that may not be here, but we'll have a number of people involved 844 00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:38,780 in this, including all the departments and everyone. 845 00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:46,180 We put this in for Commissioner Kimbero and Pierce's information. 846 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:52,680 We began doing these timelines about eight or nine years ago, setting a path. 847 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,420 It's a great path that tells you what we're going to do. 848 00:51:56,580 --> 00:52:02,780 It lays out a plan for us to follow with dates, specific dates. 849 00:52:02,780 --> 00:52:07,940 We're required to turn in a preliminary budget to the state by May 31st. 850 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,160 There are a lot of entities out there that don't make it. 851 00:52:11,620 --> 00:52:16,820 But we've found that by using this, we've never had a problem with that. 852 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:24,040 And then we're required to submit a final budget to the state by July 31st. 853 00:52:25,260 --> 00:52:28,820 So I've said this has been really good for us over the years to follow. 854 00:52:28,820 --> 00:52:32,880 It also tells the public if the public wants to come in and make comments. 855 00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:48,560 It also, if you'll notice, everywhere it says LCBCC is where we're going to come in and make presentations to the commissioners and for their consideration of different things. 856 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:56,380 I think it was a great help if you go back to, I guess it was 2020, 2020, when the bottom fell out. 857 00:52:56,380 --> 00:53:00,020 We had the, I think you were the only one that was here at the time, right? 858 00:53:00,020 --> 00:53:01,060 Yeah, I think so. 859 00:53:01,100 --> 00:53:02,120 I believe so. 860 00:53:02,420 --> 00:53:04,940 When we had the budget, it was the end of April. 861 00:53:05,020 --> 00:53:08,380 We had the budget completely done ready to approve. 862 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:12,100 We're always one of the first ones to get it turned into the state. 863 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,960 And the bottom fell out on that Sunday afternoon. 864 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:23,960 And fortunately for us, we had about two weeks to be able to figure out what we were going to do. 865 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:30,720 So that's what this plan does and I ask for approval of that so we can begin work on the budget 866 00:53:30,720 --> 00:53:33,660 and I stand for any questions that you might have. 867 00:53:34,220 --> 00:53:37,340 We all appreciate the accountability y'all. 868 00:53:38,340 --> 00:53:40,520 I'll make a motion that we approve that certification. 869 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:43,080 I'll second it. 870 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:43,400 Okay. 871 00:53:43,780 --> 00:53:44,540 We have a motion. 872 00:53:44,660 --> 00:53:45,080 Second, sir. 873 00:53:45,240 --> 00:53:46,020 In public comment. 874 00:53:47,950 --> 00:53:49,370 Additional commissioner comment? 875 00:53:49,630 --> 00:53:49,870 No. 876 00:53:50,630 --> 00:53:54,710 I've been sitting through these commission meetings for a while and I just am amazed 877 00:53:54,710 --> 00:54:03,810 it because we go to different entities and stuff in the precision that your department has done 878 00:54:03,810 --> 00:54:10,550 is impressive.

Thank y'all. 880 00:54:16,510 --> 00:54:21,110 Chair Eats and Commissioner Kimbero, we couldn't do it without 881 00:54:21,110 --> 00:54:24,990 to help support, and the Board, the Commissioners have always been 882 00:54:24,990 --> 00:54:28,830 very supportive of everything we've done, they've encouraged us to take 883 00:54:28,830 --> 00:54:32,410 these steps, and that's what we help going forward into the future that 884 00:54:32,410 --> 00:54:38,750 we continue this, because I think, you know, we're looked at from a financial 885 00:54:38,750 --> 00:54:43,570 side, we're looked at very highly by the state, and I would like to keep it 886 00:54:43,570 --> 00:54:43,970 that way. 887 00:54:43,970 --> 00:54:49,910 Well, we hear that when we've gone, you know, been going to these New Mexico counties. 888 00:54:50,290 --> 00:54:57,370 You know, your team is very highly thought of and just, you know, at the top of the list on everything. 889 00:54:57,750 --> 00:54:59,750 And it makes us proud to be from Lincoln. 890 00:55:00,510 --> 00:55:03,410 You know what I mean, your department is a big part of that. 891 00:55:03,750 --> 00:55:04,730 Thank you. 892 00:55:06,770 -->

00:55:23,640 Yes. 899 00:55:24,460 --> 00:55:25,000 Yes. 900 00:55:26,460 --> 00:55:26,620 Yes. 901 00:55:27,420 --> 00:55:27,760 Yes. 902 00:55:29,020 --> 00:55:29,540 Yes. 903 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:31,900 All right. 904 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:32,680 Thank you. 905 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:33,300 Ms. Flanagan. 906 00:55:33,660 --> 00:55:34,200 Welcome aboard. 907 00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:35,900 You come highly recommend. 908 00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:37,220 We hear lots of good things. 909 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:39,560 So, look forward to working with you. 910 00:55:43,300 --> 00:55:43,840 Moving on. 911 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,380 I page cable a while ago and said she's got to run the kids to the doctor. 912 00:55:48,380 --> 00:55:51,820 So I'm going to be filling in for her on this one. 913 00:55:54,630 --> 00:56:01,110 Chairman Eats and Commissioners, we're required by the state auditor every year to certify 914 00:56:01,110 --> 00:56:04,770 the fixed assets of the county that's owned by the county. 915 00:56:06,870 --> 00:56:12,290 And what normally what we do is we wait until after the audit is finalized so then we've 916 00:56:12,290 --> 00:56:18,710 actually got an accurate audit to list of all of the assets. 917 00:56:18,710 --> 00:56:30,630 So if you look, if you look on the audit, it says NAS, NAS, NAS depreciation, but as you can see as a June 30th, 2024, 918 00:56:33,570 --> 00:56:34,490 and I just use vehicles. 919 00:56:34,690 --> 00:56:41,230 Example, we, the county owns 356 vehicles with a original cost of $22.4 million. 920 00:56:41,230 --> 00:56:48,230 that includes the road equipment and some of the more expensive equipment that Cory has out there. 921 00:56:50,690 --> 00:56:53,450 So construction and progress is not included in this. 922 00:56:53,570 --> 00:56:58,570 We have several million dollars in construction and progress items right now. 923 00:56:58,850 --> 00:57:01,390 So I stand for any comments or questions that you might have. 924 00:57:01,870 --> 00:57:04,570 The only thing I was wondering about was the water rods. 925 00:57:05,630 --> 00:57:07,170 There's two. 926 00:57:08,230 --> 00:57:16,170 This is two and then that amount stuck out at me when I was looking through the reports I was like that's on a lot for you. 927 00:57:18,330 --> 00:57:20,970 So I'll have to dig into the schedule a little bit more detail. 928 00:57:21,230 --> 00:57:28,590 But I believe that's due to what we call our industrial park that ranch that goes from Alabama to 483. 929 00:57:28,690 --> 00:57:33,190 There's two different parcels of property that were acquired there, so I think that's why it's divided into two. 930 00:57:33,190 --> 00:57:38,790 in each one of those came with a certain allocation of several thousand acres of water rights 931 00:57:38,790 --> 00:57:44,110 associated with those, but those are where those should be located. 932 00:57:44,390 --> 00:57:46,830 So there's just two parcels of land that you can get. 933 00:57:47,370 --> 00:57:51,210 Which amounts to the two parcels of land, some of the indeed is some of the 934 00:57:51,210 --> 00:57:55,770 state land offices kind of intertwined there that we're working with state land office to 935 00:57:55,770 --> 00:58:00,230 better optimize that right now, but it's close to 11,000 acres of land. 936 00:58:00,230 --> 00:58:01,470 So that makes it substantial. 937 00:58:01,730 --> 00:58:02,650 That makes more sense. 938 00:58:04,870 --> 00:58:05,030 Okay. 939 00:58:05,930 --> 00:58:06,990 So any other questions? 940 00:58:09,150 --> 00:58:11,070 We're taking a motion on this. 941 00:58:11,270 --> 00:58:12,850 Oh, I'm like a motion we approve. 942 00:58:13,030 --> 00:58:13,770 I'm sorry I can do it. 943 00:58:13,770 --> 00:58:14,970 We have a motion in a second. 944 00:58:15,050 --> 00:58:16,270 Is there any public comment? 945 00:58:17,710 --> 00:58:19,170 Additional commissioner comment? 946 00:58:20,630 --> 00:58:21,930 I must proceed to vote. 947 00:58:24,110 --> 00:58:24,630 Yes. 948 00:58:24,930 --> 00:58:25,370 Commissioner. 949 00:58:25,850 --> 00:58:26,190 Yes. 950 00:58:27,490 --> 00:58:27,770 Yes. 951 00:58:29,070 --> 00:58:29,350 Yes. 952 00:58:29,350 --> 00:58:30,530 Thank you. 953 00:58:32,250 --> 00:58:32,750 Thank you. 954 00:58:33,130 --> 00:58:33,210 Thank you. 955 00:58:33,210 --> 00:58:39,230 Before we jump into the next item for Director Gaiagos, we would still need to little housekeeping 956 00:58:39,230 --> 00:58:44,550 on the motions for the pointies for the different various committees. 957 00:58:45,210 --> 00:58:50,530 The motion commissioner seems major is to approve the ones that we approve, but we did 958 00:58:50,530 --> 00:58:57,530 not postpone the motion for the other item, so we need to have a motion to postpone 959 00:58:57,530 --> 00:59:02,450 the appointments of Adam's H through J and L through Q. 960 00:59:02,810 --> 00:59:12,110 I make a motion that we postpone the Adam's H through J, okay? 961 00:59:12,250 --> 00:59:13,490 So I know that there's a... 962 00:59:13,490 --> 00:59:17,470 I make a motion that we postpone the Adam's, we didn't vote on previous ones. 963 00:59:18,930 --> 00:59:24,390 So, my concern is that the planning and zoning, if Jeremy is stepping off and I'm off, 964 00:59:24,950 --> 00:59:27,790 That's going to lead two vacancies on there. 965 00:59:27,790 --> 00:59:31,750 Well, Jeremy has told me he will stay on until we actually appoint. 966 00:59:32,250 --> 00:59:32,490 Okay. 967 00:59:32,570 --> 00:59:34,590 And I do have a pointy if that will help. 968 00:59:34,990 --> 00:59:35,010 Okay. 969 00:59:35,010 --> 00:59:36,930 I mean, I don't know what you want to do if you want to. 970 00:59:36,930 -->

It's Kenbro and Spirits. I look forward to working with you all. I'm very excited. 995 01:01:02,500 --> 01:01:08,500 Going on over almost three months with the detention center. Mark Agos, presenting you. I have four 996 01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:14,140 items on the agenda and this first item that I have, I'm really excited about this. It always excites 997 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:20,120 the warden or director to be able to advance in technology and assist our facility. So the first one, 998 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:28,020 I have as consideration of Lee County Resolution number 25 January 027R, proving a cooperative 999 01:01:28,020 --> 01:01:33,280 educational services with APIC solutions incorporated for the purchase and installation 1000 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:38,060 of a body scanner for the detention center and you see the picture here and the reason 1001 01:01:38,060 --> 01:01:43,600 why we're doing this, this is going to aid and reduce and minimize the contraband that 1002 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,160 comes into the detention center. 1003 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:56,200 This is well-needed, I believe every detention center should have this in support of the reduction of contraband coming into the detention center. 1004 01:01:56,360 --> 01:02:03,300 Second fold of what it does, it assists us to minimize and reduce the advanced searches that we have to do in the state of New Mexico. 1005 01:02:04,340 --> 01:02:14,500 Not everybody gets an advanced search when they come in, so there's only few that when they come in that we can do those types of searches and the other types of searches we can't do based on long. 1006 01:02:14,500 --> 01:02:21,160 So, searches are when they come in and which this will aid up and getting it made without 1007 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:27,760 advanced search is anybody who has a current drug charge last three years or a weapons 1008 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:32,820 charge or a probable cost. So, this will aid in not being able to go behind closed doors and 1009 01:02:32,820 --> 01:02:38,720 advanced search and I don't have a lot of potential tour claims coming with our attorney. So, 1010 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:44,340 it's a safe thing to have inside the detention center. I as a warden have been in different 1011 01:02:44,340 --> 01:02:49,300 detention facilities. I've had them in two previous detention facilities. It deters in a 1012 01:02:49,300 --> 01:02:54,700 detects and it minimizes these coming in and it really reduces that that contraband. 1013 01:02:54,980 --> 01:02:59,600 The other thing is once we retrieve the contraband then we automatically will contact the 1014 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:04,920 arresting agency and then we will formulate our investigation with charges in that area. 1015 01:03:05,420 --> 01:03:10,960 So I bring this forth to you on requesting this to be approved and I'll stand for any questions. 1016 01:03:11,780 --> 01:03:13,440 How much is this? 1017 01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,460 It's 184,826-44. 1018 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:19,860 I'd love to work money. 1019 01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:20,340 Yeah. 1020 01:03:20,340 --> 01:03:21,200 It's incredible tool. 1021 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:22,880 And I kind of surprise we didn't already have. 1022 01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,560 That's what I want to think of. 1023 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:25,040 Yeah. 1024 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:29,380 But I'd love to make a motion to prove this. 1025 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:30,280 I'll second it. 1026 01:03:31,540 --> 01:03:32,120 We have a motion. 1027 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:32,580 Second. 1028 01:03:32,900 --> 01:03:33,660 Certainly public comment. 1029 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,180 Any additional commissioner comments? 1030 01:03:37,060 --> 01:03:38,680 What do we have currently that we are? 1031 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:40,200 We don't have any. 1032 01:03:41,860 --> 01:03:46,140 Mr. Chair, excuse me, Commissioner Pierce, we do not have any of that. 1033 01:03:46,300 --> 01:03:52,100 We depend on pat searches and other advanced searches when individuals come in. 1034 01:03:53,260 --> 01:03:58,000 So when a person comes in and they're not on those charges, they can come in with a lot of a contraband. 1035 01:03:58,100 --> 01:03:59,740 And we're not going to be able to retrieve it. 1036 01:04:00,100 --> 01:04:05,460 With this in place, we're going to deter to detect and reduce that contraband company in the facility. 1037 01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,360 So this is just like what you want to do at the airport. 1038 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,720 Absolutely, it's an x-ray scanner. 1039 01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:16,160 That would, would visitors, could you use that for visitors coming in? 1040 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,620 No, no, no, more merely for the detainee population. 1041 01:04:23,250 --> 01:04:23,390 Okay. 1042 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:28,620 Let's proceed to vote. 1043 01:04:28,940 --> 01:04:29,020 Sure. 1044 01:04:29,540 --> 01:04:29,900 Yes. 1045 01:04:32,140 --> 01:04:32,440 Yes. 1046 01:04:34,580 --> 01:04:34,940 Yes. 1047 01:04:35,540 --> 01:04:35,740 Yes. 1048 01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:37,180 Thank you. 1049 01:04:37,660 --> 01:04:39,000 I have one for visitors too. 1050 01:04:41,340 --> 01:04:44,540 Second, on the agenda for the detention centers, 1051 01:04:44,540 --> 01:04:48,360 Consider of Lee County Resolution number 25, January 28, 1052 01:04:49,180 --> 01:04:51,540 our authorized agreement between Eddy County and Lee County 1053 01:04:51,540 --> 01:04:54,440 for the housing of adult and juvenile detainees 1054 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,520 for renewing this, so we're just proceeding to make sure 1055 01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,360 that we have a contract in place in order to 1056 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:03,420 house both adult and juvenile detainees in Lee County 1057 01:05:03,420 --> 01:05:04,360 detention centers. 1058 01:05:05,700 --> 01:05:05,880 Okay. 1059 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:07,820 Is there a motion? 1060 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:09,500 I'd like a motion to prove. 1061 01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:10,580 I'd like to. 1062 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:11,400 We have a motion. 1063 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,820 second.

I wondered if that wouldn't change that. Change our status. I don't know. 1463 01:29:45,270 --> 01:29:49,890 That would be something worth looking into or not. It would save us a lot of money if it did. 1464 01:29:50,310 --> 01:29:53,250 I'll look into it and I'll give an answer. Okay. Okay. 1465 01:29:53,250 --> 01:29:54,470 Okay. So as 1466 01:29:57,890 --> 01:29:59,970 you can see, we've- 1467 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:12,470 Tagging in 9.3 million and we've paid out approximately 7.9 million this year so far, there's two components to what we have to 1468 01:30:12,470 --> 01:30:18,750 the state is it's based upon the prior year GRT revenue under that 1469 01:30:18,750 --> 01:30:23,930 end of it, GRT rate. And there's a Medicaid payment, which is 1470 01:30:23,930 --> 01:30:30,070 quarterly, which we have to limit 50% of the prior year GRT. And then 1471 01:30:30,070 --> 01:30:37,030 there is a and in the Senate Bill 66 side of it is actually 66% of the 1472 01:30:37,030 --> 01:30:44,850 year. So we we actually have to remit this year. We have to remit 116% of the prior year 1473 01:30:44,850 --> 01:30:53,190 GRT as payment to this date. So the county does have to pay a contribute a certain amount to it. 1474 01:30:53,530 --> 01:31:00,310 The problem is the way they calculate the period of time. The GRT revenue they calculate, 1475 01:31:00,310 --> 01:31:05,410 Medicaid is different than what they calculate for, it's a different timeframe. 1476 01:31:06,310 --> 01:31:13,650 Our GRT for, especially the new commissioners, it comes in the business month, like the 1477 01:31:13,650 --> 01:31:19,550 business month is October. That's when the transactions occur. We get the money in December. 1478 01:31:19,730 --> 01:31:25,670 They report it the next month and then we get it. All in gas, it's a three month lag between 1479 01:31:25,670 --> 01:31:28,250 the activity and when we get the money. 1480 01:31:29,430 --> 01:31:31,910 So, and it's due to the reporting requirements. 1481 01:31:32,910 --> 01:31:39,750 Capital, as you can see, we always, always, expend moral capital that we get in revenues 1482 01:31:39,750 --> 01:31:47,490 because most of our revenue is in the form of capital grants, a lot of them are for the airport. 1483 01:31:48,070 --> 01:31:52,050 We do have some for like this building and some other things. 1484 01:31:52,050 --> 01:31:56,770 Trust an agency. If you look at that, the trust an agency has to do with Lee County. 1485 01:31:57,150 --> 01:32:04,910 We're the fiscal agent for Lee County Solid Waste Authority for LCCA, Lee County Communications Authority. 1486 01:32:07,550 --> 01:32:12,570 And so those are the revenues associated with them and the expenses. 1487 01:32:14,110 --> 01:32:19,750 They do not flow through our audit. They're totally separate entities, as far as boards, but we're responsible. 1488 01:32:19,750 --> 01:32:29,350 their employees are our employees. It's a little odd thing, but with you and say there, 1489 01:32:30,890 --> 01:32:40,850 our solid waste authority for your information is very well funded. We have very good 1490 01:32:40,850 --> 01:32:43,550 serve for long-term capital improvements. 1491 01:32:44,530 --> 01:32:52,770 And last time, we're still the only solid waste authority in the State of Mexico that's fully 1492 01:32:52,770 --> 01:32:55,990 funded for post-culture expenses. 1493 01:32:57,710 --> 01:33:02,490 So it's very well-run, there's a board taught, it's taught to deal with chair. 1494 01:33:02,850 --> 01:33:07,930 Todd Randall with the City Engineer, Assistant City Manager in Hobbes is the chair of that 1495 01:33:07,930 --> 01:33:14,150 and it's very well run, it's very well run or Lorenzo handles it for the county. 1496 01:33:15,110 --> 01:33:20,370 So as you can see, if you get down there total revenues, it's 210 million expenses, almost 1497 01:33:20,370 --> 01:33:26,010 104 million, so year to date we're ahead by 106 million dollars. 1498 01:33:27,970 --> 01:33:33,470 This is just another way, this is looking at it by fun type, general fun, we're ahead by 1499 01:33:33,470 --> 01:33:40,710 and 46 million, the road, the road is always going to be in the negative because that's 1500 01:33:40,710 --> 01:33:48,310 capital outlay going to road development, the tension center, we have to, we're mandated 1501 01:33:48,310 --> 01:33:52,490 to operate that and it does not in the end, it will not make money. 1502 01:33:53,550 --> 01:33:58,550 Capital projects, that's all the different things that we do, and then all of our other 1503 01:33:58,550 --> 01:34:07,870 special revenues and enterprise funds that six point is a lot of that six point four has 1504 01:34:07,870 --> 01:34:14,230 to do with our LATCF and ARPA money which we received that money two or three years ago 1505 01:34:14,230 --> 01:34:19,450 and we're just getting it expanded out this year. So as you can see it goes back to the 1506 01:34:19,450 --> 01:34:20,290 $16 million. 1507 01:34:22,310 --> 01:34:27,670 All in gas production, we'll see we're $83 million. Through the first six 1508 01:34:27,670 --> 01:34:33,890 months of the year, it dropped down in December. We're going to see it come back in January 1509 01:34:33,890 --> 01:34:43,370 to around 13 million somewhere in that area. It's a function of production and price. We can 1510 01:34:43,370 --> 01:34:47,930 Based on it, we can kind of look out a couple of months. 1511 01:34:48,670 --> 01:34:55,030 We're probably going to see it down in the somewhere between 12 and 14 million for about 1512 01:34:55,030 --> 01:34:55,910 the next two months. 1513 01:34:56,170 --> 01:35:00,070 And then, based on what oil prices have done here lately, it's probably going to go back 1514 01:35:00,070 --> 01:35:04,910 up a little bit since we've seen a big jump in oil prices in January. 1515 01:35:05,170 --> 01:35:07,450 We won't see that money until April. 1516 01:35:08,610 --> 01:35:16,750 So, that's what we're anticipating, as you can see, we're at 174% of the budget. 1517 01:35:18,590 --> 01:35:23,790 When we get into the next meeting in February, we'll talk about revenue, we'll go in 1518 01:35:23,790 --> 01:35:29,950 more into depth about how we budget revenue, how we do our planning for revenues so that 1519 01:35:29,950 --> 01:35:36,630 you'll get a better understanding of what we, how the county has been operating over 1520 01:35:36,630 --> 01:35:46,010 last few years. A property tax we've collected 75% with people who are paying their taxes up front this year. 1521 01:35:47,050 --> 01:35:53,110 Typically, it's what about 50-50 long things in? And this year we've already collected 76%. 1522 01:35:54,210 --> 01:36:00,870 So we also get what's called a oil and gas equipment tax which comes in in December. We've already collected 1523 01:36:00,870 --> 01:36:06,570 of it so you can't say because we have the almost 200 million in revenue now we're going to 1524 01:36:06,570 --> 01:36:11,930 end up with four because it's probably going to be somewhere in the end around 3, 23, 30, 1525 01:36:12,730 --> 01:36:15,930 somewhere in line with what it was last year I think might be a little bit more. 1526 01:36:19,940 --> 01:36:26,640 The gross receipts tax as you can see it's back up. We had a study done several years ago 1527 01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:28,560 by the University of Mexico, 1528 01:36:30,660 --> 01:36:36,380 Bureau of Business and Economic Research, and there's a 92% correlation 1529 01:36:37,580 --> 01:36:45,680 between the red count in Lee County and GRT. The red count is the main driver of GRT 1530 01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:49,980 in the county, and when we get into the revenue discussion, I'll show you a few more things, 1531 01:36:49,980 --> 01:36:58,240 you'll get a little better understanding of. Now we're hearing, I've heard that actually now we're 1532 01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:03,300 going to be able to drill more wells with a little bit fewer rigs so we don't know it yet, 1533 01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:08,460 what that's going to, how that's going to impact our GR. I think our GRT will be the same, 1534 01:37:08,860 --> 01:37:12,500 but the way we calculate our estimate may be you have to change. 1535 01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:19,960 You may have to just get your formula. Right, we may have to just formula. We don't. So we'll 1536 01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:31,700 he are back in this year to update the update the formula as far as and then of course 1537 01:37:31,700 --> 01:37:39,300 the expenditure is here today as you can see personnel, this is budget year to date. 1538 01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:48,000 We typically run about 90% on payroll budget personnel, so when you look at that like 1539 01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:54,920 there that we're kind of in line with historical operations were a little bit below this year 1540 01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:59,640 right now, but I expect that to catch up in the spring and of course, and then capital 1541 01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:06,640 we always budget a lot of capital and then we get done as much as we possibly can during the 1542 01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:10,800 course of the year. So I stand for any questions or comments you might have. 1543 01:38:13,390 --> 01:38:13,990 question. 1544 01:38:16,460 --> 01:38:22,500 Thank you. And then moving on, this is the review of the 2024 1545 01:38:22,500 --> 01:38:27,140 Council payable and purchased card register. So as you can see in the month of December, 1546 01:38:27,480 --> 01:38:32,880 this is not include payroll or anything to do with payroll, but we've spent $13,000 1547 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:34,460 in December. 1548 01:38:36,660 --> 01:38:38,180 And I'll stand for any questions or comments. 1549 01:38:41,830 --> 01:38:43,210 Thank you, Chair. Thank you, sir. 1550 01:38:46,220 --> 01:38:50,740 I move that the commission go to close session to discuss limited personal matters involving 1551 01:38:50,740 --> 01:38:57,100 personnel in the Justice and Human Services Division to discuss pending litigation and state 1552 01:38:57,100 --> 01:39:08,220 of New Mexico versus Lee County and others, S-1-SC-39742.
