1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,760
And then I want discussion item
one point one is to talk about

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,760
what we want to make as
priorities on the March sixth,

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,720
all day, budget
planning session.

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,835
So I don't know if this, Burke,

5
00:00:13,835 --> 00:00:15,675
if you want to Yes, ma'am.

6
00:00:15,675 --> 00:00:18,955
A couple of the items that
staff have identified that we

7
00:00:18,955 --> 00:00:20,715
would propose to include.

8
00:00:20,715 --> 00:00:24,395
One, we want to just go give
you a brief overview of the

9
00:00:24,395 --> 00:00:26,795
website that our finance
department has developed just

10
00:00:26,795 --> 00:00:29,155
so you can see what's available

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,880
to our residents,

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,000
as well as that there is
the ability for our residents to

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,560
provide comments
about the budget,

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,840
and we will be tracking that.

15
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,640
So just want to walk you
through the website again just

16
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,945
so that you have an idea of
what is available for our

17
00:00:42,945 --> 00:00:44,465
residents.

18
00:00:44,465 --> 00:00:46,825
We want to talk
through personnel.

19
00:00:47,025 --> 00:00:49,825
We received health
insurance information today.

20
00:00:49,825 --> 00:00:54,385
We'll be sharing with the impact
of that with you at the sixth.

21
00:00:54,385 --> 00:00:56,385
Talk about staffing
just to go through.

22
00:00:56,385 --> 00:00:59,920
Again, we are proposing to
add some additional positions.

23
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,720
Just want to go through that
so you have the opportunity to

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,000
understand that better.

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,200
And then retention,

26
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,600
talk through what we're looking
at as far as the proposed

27
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,960
COLA and merit increases.

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,315
Then talk through
social services,

29
00:01:14,315 --> 00:01:19,635
just give an overview of the
additional budget that has been

30
00:01:20,075 --> 00:01:22,715
included to cover
some of their costs.

31
00:01:22,715 --> 00:01:25,795
And then similarly
for fire and rescue,

32
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,680
since we are not proposing a
reduction in the fire levy,

33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,360
just to talk through with you
all what is included with the

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,160
budget for our fire department.

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,785
And then enhancements to
the funding that's available for

36
00:01:41,785 --> 00:01:42,985
you all to identify.

37
00:01:42,985 --> 00:01:44,185
Just talk through that.

38
00:01:44,185 --> 00:01:48,345
So if there's any
additional items that we we

39
00:01:48,345 --> 00:01:51,385
that you you want us to
go into more detail with,

40
00:01:51,385 --> 00:01:53,185
please let us know.

41
00:01:55,225 --> 00:01:56,145
Sure.

42
00:01:57,060 --> 00:01:58,620
Two things.

43
00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:04,100
Maybe, number one,
I I suggest we have

44
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:07,860
a discussion about whether to
maintain the fire levy as a

45
00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:10,820
separate entity
rather than just have

46
00:02:10,820 --> 00:02:12,460
everything in general fund.

47
00:02:13,245 --> 00:02:16,965
Think it's personally, think
it's outlived its usefulness.

48
00:02:17,725 --> 00:02:20,445
Number two and most important,

49
00:02:20,445 --> 00:02:22,805
I would appreciate

50
00:02:23,565 --> 00:02:27,445
staff doing a deep
dive in presenting

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,240
a five year budget projection.

52
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,680
I'm not just talking
general fund.

53
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,640
Focused on

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,280
incremental or
anticipated revenues

55
00:02:41,935 --> 00:02:44,615
by broad category.

56
00:02:44,655 --> 00:02:50,215
Not not, I would probably
suggest we wreck we look at a

57
00:02:51,135 --> 00:02:54,210
four percent
standardized increase in

58
00:02:54,210 --> 00:02:56,530
on the expense side, you know,

59
00:02:56,530 --> 00:02:59,410
which is a little more than
the norm, but just cover.

60
00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:00,210
And and, frankly,

61
00:03:00,210 --> 00:03:03,970
where I'm going with this
is I appreciate the the

62
00:03:03,970 --> 00:03:06,690
feedback from staff
about, the out years.

63
00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:09,945
I wanna see more more
details so I get the

64
00:03:09,945 --> 00:03:12,465
numbers, and I can
be more analytic

65
00:03:12,665 --> 00:03:16,745
about it, and understand
the the assumptions and and,

66
00:03:16,745 --> 00:03:19,945
you know, more more like you
would what I've done for,

67
00:03:19,945 --> 00:03:22,265
you know, three plus years
in the corporate world.

68
00:03:22,265 --> 00:03:24,625
You know, I do the
five year, ten year,

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,040
you know, p and l projection.

70
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,320
And frankly, it's
doing that so that,

71
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,120
I and and maybe the
council is has a better

72
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,160
understanding, therefore,

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,215
of what we can do with
being set aside for the

74
00:03:41,215 --> 00:03:42,175
council, but, frankly,

75
00:03:42,175 --> 00:03:47,415
the million and a half reserve that
that staff has has talked about.

76
00:03:47,855 --> 00:03:52,030
Willing to sit with Diane or
whoever and walk through what

77
00:03:52,030 --> 00:03:55,430
I'm sort of looking
through for on that.

78
00:03:57,150 --> 00:03:59,510
I think that's it. Easy.

79
00:04:01,150 --> 00:04:02,710
Miss Dossingh.

80
00:04:03,150 --> 00:04:03,710
Question.

81
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:06,825
So what percentage increase is

82
00:04:06,825 --> 00:04:11,025
there in the budget both on
the revenue and expense side?

83
00:04:11,385 --> 00:04:12,265
I'm sorry.

84
00:04:12,265 --> 00:04:13,745
So what

85
00:04:15,385 --> 00:04:18,985
is the percentage
increase in your

86
00:04:18,985 --> 00:04:24,120
proposed budget on the income
side and the expense side?

87
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,160
Percentage wise,
we are looking at a

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,755
are you asking general
fund or the total budget?

89
00:04:34,755 --> 00:04:36,395
Total budget.

90
00:04:36,515 --> 00:04:38,355
Increase of twenty nine percent.

91
00:04:38,355 --> 00:04:42,835
There is for all funds
For income, right? Yes.

92
00:04:42,835 --> 00:04:44,835
To match the expense, yes, sir.

93
00:04:44,835 --> 00:04:47,035
Okay. And so expenses?

94
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,240
Twenty nine percent. How
about just the general fund?

95
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,040
General fund, seventeen percent.

96
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,720
Seventeen point six percent
if if you want to be So,

97
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,880
you know, dovetailing on
account of the vice mayor here.

98
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,040
I demoting you
for a moment here.

99
00:05:04,295 --> 00:05:06,295
Of a four percent, you know,

100
00:05:06,295 --> 00:05:08,815
maybe it should

101
00:05:09,735 --> 00:05:10,855
not be four percent.

102
00:05:10,855 --> 00:05:11,735
Go ahead.

103
00:05:11,735 --> 00:05:15,015
So a lot of I would
have to to get a true

104
00:05:15,015 --> 00:05:18,200
increase number, not
just this current year.

105
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,680
I have to back out all the
onetime costs because there's a

106
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,880
significant use of
onetime reserves in there,

107
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,120
bringing that total to
the twenty nine percent.

108
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,560
So if you give me a minute,

109
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,735
I can do that calculation too.

110
00:05:30,735 --> 00:05:32,975
To his point, what
I've I I agree.

111
00:05:32,975 --> 00:05:37,135
What I'm interested in and what
I heard you say on Monday was

112
00:05:37,135 --> 00:05:40,455
that looking ahead,

113
00:05:40,895 --> 00:05:43,380
the financial
situation looked good.

114
00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:48,340
And I want I wanna I wanna understand
what that what does that mean?

115
00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:52,340
Meaning, what are the pieces that
fall in place we expect or we're

116
00:05:52,340 --> 00:05:55,715
anticipating or where whatever,
you know, where it's going,

117
00:05:55,715 --> 00:05:58,755
but to be discussed Yes, sir.

118
00:05:58,755 --> 00:06:00,235
So that

119
00:06:00,915 --> 00:06:04,275
not only about the
the contingency

120
00:06:04,275 --> 00:06:08,675
amount of money, but also,
you know, kind of big picture.

121
00:06:08,675 --> 00:06:12,790
So we're not just doing this
year and then waiting for the

122
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:15,510
next year to have more
kind of thinking ahead.

123
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:17,670
Sort of like we do with our CIP.

124
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:20,630
And that's where
what we would do

125
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:23,555
is typically assume
a four percent

126
00:06:23,555 --> 00:06:26,035
or five percent growth
on some of the expenses,

127
00:06:26,035 --> 00:06:29,395
but then also add into that the
CIP because within that five

128
00:06:29,395 --> 00:06:33,955
year window, we are looking at
floating a bond to do some of

129
00:06:33,955 --> 00:06:34,740
the improvements,

130
00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:37,860
specifically out for the
fire department and for the

131
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:38,820
community center.

132
00:06:38,820 --> 00:06:39,300
So, yes, sir.

133
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:42,820
We can we can do a a
presentation of of of a five

134
00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:46,860
year anticipated Forgive my
inaccuracy as a layman here,

135
00:06:47,635 --> 00:06:50,275
but read my mind and then
you'll know what I want.

136
00:06:50,275 --> 00:06:51,795
No. But I I get it.

137
00:06:51,795 --> 00:06:54,195
You you wanna give us what
we're asking for and not waste

138
00:06:54,195 --> 00:06:56,035
time, and I I don't
wanna do that either.

139
00:06:56,035 --> 00:06:58,795
But I think that's
that's very important

140
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,080
along the way to see
see that picture as as

141
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,760
far as you as you were
working with your staff

142
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,560
along the way, you know,
with if it was a year,

143
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,120
it was a year.

144
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,560
If it's five years,
it's five year.

145
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,080
You know, what in other words,

146
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,095
share with us the the more
of the detail along the way.

147
00:07:18,295 --> 00:07:21,695
I do know we have a work
session specifically

148
00:07:22,135 --> 00:07:27,335
on utility rates, but
I think it's important

149
00:07:27,335 --> 00:07:32,580
that we our our
March six meeting

150
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:34,380
overview that somehow.

151
00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:39,340
I mean, there's some there's
for us to get a for all of

152
00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:44,180
us to understand a little bit more
what's what what might be coming along.

153
00:07:46,165 --> 00:07:49,765
If I could, we have already scheduled
for representatives from the

154
00:07:49,765 --> 00:07:52,885
Utility Commission and from
our consultants to be at your

155
00:07:52,885 --> 00:07:54,005
eighteenth meeting.

156
00:07:54,005 --> 00:07:58,565
And I understand wanting to be
able to get more into the details.

157
00:07:58,565 --> 00:07:59,725
But

158
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,440
as we've scheduled it,

159
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,720
it would be our preference if
we could do the more deep dive

160
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,840
at the eighteenth because
we will have a lot of the

161
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,245
individuals that can
provide more detail than

162
00:08:13,245 --> 00:08:16,285
Anna might otherwise be able to.

163
00:08:16,285 --> 00:08:20,205
You heard what I my
suggestion, at least,

164
00:08:20,205 --> 00:08:24,365
I always am a believer in
getting ahead of news even if

165
00:08:24,365 --> 00:08:25,900
it's somewhat general.

166
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:27,820
I mean, those are some numbers,

167
00:08:27,820 --> 00:08:30,820
percentages that you
presented in your

168
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:34,980
proposed budget that

169
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:40,035
are sitting out there in
have you in terms of that.

170
00:08:40,035 --> 00:08:42,995
We we can definitely provide
you with since we're spending a

171
00:08:42,995 --> 00:08:47,315
whole day, whatever, with
the caveat that a lot of lot

172
00:08:47,315 --> 00:08:51,270
of more information is
being developed and and on.

173
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:54,790
We can definitely provide
you with an overview of the

174
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:58,790
recommendations from the
consultant, which definitely

175
00:08:58,790 --> 00:09:00,870
exceed what staff are proposing.

176
00:09:00,870 --> 00:09:03,030
So yes, sir, we have
that ready for you all.

177
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:07,310
I'd like to, if I may,
continue, mayor, for a moment,

178
00:09:07,885 --> 00:09:11,885
a list of items that were

179
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:13,605
proposed

180
00:09:14,045 --> 00:09:17,405
from the to the budget
from various departments,

181
00:09:17,405 --> 00:09:19,485
but not not included Yes, sir.

182
00:09:19,485 --> 00:09:23,125
Just so we can see
what what those were

183
00:09:23,390 --> 00:09:25,430
along the way.

184
00:09:25,870 --> 00:09:28,750
So those are my
initial, you know,

185
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:30,590
thoughts for for
March the sixth.

186
00:09:30,590 --> 00:09:33,110
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Thank you, mayor.

187
00:09:35,165 --> 00:09:36,125
Thank you.

188
00:09:36,125 --> 00:09:40,125
I think the list that you've provided
is a really good, jumping point.

189
00:09:40,125 --> 00:09:44,125
I think all of that would be a
good framework for the sixth.

190
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:48,230
I wanna echo councilman
Ossina's suggestion about

191
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:49,510
talking about utilities.

192
00:09:49,510 --> 00:09:52,390
I think that the I think our
the state of our utilities is

193
00:09:52,390 --> 00:09:54,470
going be a big deal this year.

194
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:56,630
And I don't want
to put that off.

195
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:59,310
I want to be addressing
that from the front.

196
00:10:00,525 --> 00:10:03,165
So that's probably my one of
my big priorities this year is

197
00:10:03,165 --> 00:10:04,125
talking about utilities.

198
00:10:04,125 --> 00:10:08,845
I'll

199
00:10:08,845 --> 00:10:09,805
just say it out loud.

200
00:10:09,805 --> 00:10:12,045
I've in this as
she stated to this,

201
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:15,630
it's fine with tickets from
my perspective things that are

202
00:10:15,630 --> 00:10:18,430
highly helpful in the
social services discussion.

203
00:10:18,430 --> 00:10:19,430
And

204
00:10:19,950 --> 00:10:23,710
then I've heard some subjects
that will be very valuable

205
00:10:23,710 --> 00:10:25,550
to us in planning.

206
00:10:25,550 --> 00:10:27,110
I'm fine with that.

207
00:10:29,735 --> 00:10:32,775
Kind of a question I want
to just kind of recap something

208
00:10:32,775 --> 00:10:36,015
about, the personal
property tax rates.

209
00:10:37,575 --> 00:10:41,175
The data center computer
equipment tax rate of three

210
00:10:41,175 --> 00:10:44,190
sixty, If I recall,

211
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:46,510
that cannot go above

212
00:10:46,950 --> 00:10:48,630
the personal property tax rate.

213
00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:50,190
Is that right? Okay.

214
00:10:51,830 --> 00:10:53,870
Tangible personal property.

215
00:10:57,645 --> 00:10:59,885
When you when we're
talking about the car tax,

216
00:10:59,885 --> 00:11:03,085
that is not is that something
locally we can adjust?

217
00:11:03,085 --> 00:11:03,645
Yes, ma'am.

218
00:11:03,645 --> 00:11:05,565
That's basically a twenty
five dollars It used to be the

219
00:11:05,565 --> 00:11:07,405
sticker fee, the twenty
five dollars sticker fee.

220
00:11:07,405 --> 00:11:08,765
We don't hand out
the sticker anymore.

221
00:11:08,765 --> 00:11:11,560
That is the car tax, the twenty
five dollars sticker fee?

222
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:15,640
That's not that's step The
car tax is a separate clause.

223
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,080
The million dollars
is the twenty

224
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,120
five dollars fee.

225
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,560
Which is on your budget.

226
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:26,355
The car tax, yes, ma'am,
that is something.

227
00:11:26,355 --> 00:11:30,035
Well, tax, what we
would refer it to,

228
00:11:30,035 --> 00:11:32,675
can we also do anything
to adjust that rate?

229
00:11:32,675 --> 00:11:34,795
Is that the state?

230
00:11:35,715 --> 00:11:38,275
I believe we can
adjust it. Yes, ma'am.

231
00:11:38,275 --> 00:11:41,860
But since the data center
tax rate is now tied with

232
00:11:41,860 --> 00:11:44,820
that, if we would lower
that car tax rate,

233
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:48,340
we would also have to lower
the data center tax rate.

234
00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:49,380
Is that right?

235
00:11:49,380 --> 00:11:52,860
I think we can do
it independent,

236
00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:54,100
but I need to confirm that.

237
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:55,765
And if there's something
you want to discuss,

238
00:11:55,765 --> 00:11:56,725
we can definitely Yeah.

239
00:11:56,725 --> 00:11:57,605
I would like to know that.

240
00:11:57,605 --> 00:11:59,565
Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

241
00:12:01,685 --> 00:12:02,925
Thank

242
00:12:04,485 --> 00:12:05,205
you, Madam Mayor.

243
00:12:05,205 --> 00:12:08,540
As we go into a more hybrid or

244
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:11,980
more intense day, I just
wanna make sure that the

245
00:12:11,980 --> 00:12:14,860
agenda, if I know it's hard,

246
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:18,140
but if there's a way to
allocate a time because if

247
00:12:18,140 --> 00:12:20,615
people want to
come and listen in,

248
00:12:20,615 --> 00:12:23,615
I just want to make sure
that we are clear and

249
00:12:23,655 --> 00:12:25,935
and the people have
the information

250
00:12:25,975 --> 00:12:29,815
on on residents or, you know,
anybody who wants to, you know,

251
00:12:29,815 --> 00:12:32,190
be in to listen to the session.

252
00:12:32,190 --> 00:12:44,685
I

253
00:12:44,685 --> 00:12:45,725
think I have an accent.

254
00:12:45,725 --> 00:12:47,325
I know it's too
early, but, you know,

255
00:12:47,325 --> 00:12:50,045
I will be trying to
look for a decrease.

256
00:12:50,045 --> 00:12:53,165
And for me, what
it was mentioned is important.

257
00:12:53,165 --> 00:12:57,405
It's not the knowledge
two. That we have.

258
00:12:57,405 --> 00:13:00,210
But I believe councilmen
have seen and talk about it.

259
00:13:00,210 --> 00:13:02,610
Before we used to get the.

260
00:13:02,610 --> 00:13:04,250
So I

261
00:13:04,690 --> 00:13:09,330
items, but they were not relevant
or they were not they didn't

262
00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:10,850
made it to the top this year.

263
00:13:10,850 --> 00:13:13,105
So I think that
that's important.

264
00:13:13,105 --> 00:13:14,465
I believe at the beginning,

265
00:13:14,465 --> 00:13:17,145
I did I wasn't paying as

266
00:13:18,305 --> 00:13:21,465
a lot of attention to those new

267
00:13:22,065 --> 00:13:25,700
new capital items that
come to the five years.

268
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:29,780
And then as we have worked so
successfully in those, you know,

269
00:13:29,780 --> 00:13:32,580
I just wanna make sure that
I keep a close eye on that,

270
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:35,860
that we don't just click the
page because I wanna make sure

271
00:13:35,860 --> 00:13:37,220
that we understand it.

272
00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:38,060
And

273
00:13:38,545 --> 00:13:42,145
we when we fund it, because
a lot of them are, like,

274
00:13:42,145 --> 00:13:42,945
through the years.

275
00:13:42,945 --> 00:13:44,785
I just wanna make
sure that, you know,

276
00:13:44,785 --> 00:13:47,265
we're trying to divide it.

277
00:13:47,265 --> 00:13:52,625
I worry that that we
might have a bigger

278
00:13:52,625 --> 00:13:55,880
increase this year on the
income and on the following

279
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,080
year's projections.

280
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,400
I would like to continue to
be conservative as possible.

281
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Yes, ma'am.

282
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,240
But I know I'm, like, probably,
maybe to deep into it.

283
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,520
My apologies.

284
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,560
But I really you know,

285
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:10,115
those are the things
that they worry me.

286
00:14:10,115 --> 00:14:14,515
And, yeah, you know,
like last year.

287
00:14:14,515 --> 00:14:17,835
I'll be looking
into see if we can,

288
00:14:18,115 --> 00:14:20,955
you know, we can
get our support to

289
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,520
I

290
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,320
really want to make sure
not only that the staff is

291
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,640
available when you
when they present each,

292
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,640
but also the public is
knowledgeable of when the staff

293
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,355
is gonna present.

294
00:14:44,235 --> 00:14:45,395
I

295
00:14:46,715 --> 00:14:49,435
know in previous
budget sessions,

296
00:14:49,435 --> 00:14:52,460
we were the

297
00:14:53,380 --> 00:14:55,780
tax rate for a flat tax bill.

298
00:14:55,780 --> 00:14:58,140
Do we know what
that is? Know. Okay.

299
00:15:08,585 --> 00:15:12,825
Just a question on page
thirty five, revenue overview.

300
00:15:12,825 --> 00:15:14,345
When I there's a list here,

301
00:15:14,345 --> 00:15:17,065
and it says machinery and
tools used in semiconductor

302
00:15:17,065 --> 00:15:18,865
manufacturing, CBD.

303
00:15:21,540 --> 00:15:23,020
I know

304
00:15:23,780 --> 00:15:25,100
it can.

305
00:15:25,540 --> 00:15:28,540
Page thirty five.

306
00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:31,875
And then there's a
list of tax rates.

307
00:15:31,875 --> 00:15:35,315
And the second one in
the bulleted items,

308
00:15:35,315 --> 00:15:39,555
machinery and tools used in
semiconductor manufacturing.

309
00:15:39,555 --> 00:15:43,155
That's the agreement that we
have with Micron, I believe,

310
00:15:43,155 --> 00:15:47,530
that with a a a there's a
prescribed amount that we could

311
00:15:47,530 --> 00:15:50,810
increase that if I'm hopefully
getting head nods from?

312
00:15:50,810 --> 00:15:51,050
Yes.

313
00:15:51,050 --> 00:15:54,250
So when they file
their returns with Tim,

314
00:15:54,250 --> 00:15:56,730
he'll be able to back into
the rate that that's needed.

315
00:15:56,730 --> 00:15:59,610
And that's the rate that you'll
set to honor the agreement to

316
00:15:59,610 --> 00:16:01,530
come up with a four
percent increase.

317
00:16:01,530 --> 00:16:04,235
Okay. Thank you.
It's four percent.

318
00:16:05,315 --> 00:16:07,355
Okay. Thank you.

319
00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:16,170
Well, if I can,

320
00:16:16,170 --> 00:16:18,170
the list that I have
tentatively and if there's

321
00:16:18,170 --> 00:16:20,970
other items, please let us
know before we schedule it.

322
00:16:20,970 --> 00:16:25,130
But, again, walking through
the website, personnel issues,

323
00:16:25,130 --> 00:16:28,490
fire and rescue,
specific to their current

324
00:16:28,490 --> 00:16:32,925
budget, fire and fire
levy, social services,

325
00:16:33,205 --> 00:16:36,965
a five year projection
of our expenses and

326
00:16:36,965 --> 00:16:41,645
revenues, the enhancement
discussion, utilities,

327
00:16:41,685 --> 00:16:43,325
unfunded items,

328
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,600
discussion of our CIP,
and then a flat tax rate,

329
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,400
what the equivalent our
real estate would be.

330
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,200
If there's other items,
please just let us know.

331
00:17:00,865 --> 00:17:03,345
Make sure that we get
the agenda complete.

332
00:17:03,345 --> 00:17:07,225
And we will include times
for individual items.

333
00:17:09,825 --> 00:17:11,505
I'll just say more procedural.

334
00:17:11,505 --> 00:17:15,930
So, when we meet March six over
there at the community center,

335
00:17:16,530 --> 00:17:18,210
our meeting will be recorded.

336
00:17:18,210 --> 00:17:20,770
We are planning to
have it being recorded.

337
00:17:20,770 --> 00:17:23,570
We are planning to have a
projector and screen there.

338
00:17:23,570 --> 00:17:25,450
Excellent. Thank you.

339
00:17:30,205 --> 00:17:31,165
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

340
00:17:31,165 --> 00:17:35,645
I'm not sure if it's the right
time that I would like to share.

341
00:17:35,645 --> 00:17:40,220
When we went to our
jurisdiction first ever

342
00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:44,780
meeting, they talk
about how the clerk and

343
00:17:44,780 --> 00:17:49,260
everybody goes to
provide them everything,

344
00:17:49,260 --> 00:17:50,700
not only asking for more,

345
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:53,805
but also providing the
reports and things.

346
00:17:53,805 --> 00:17:56,005
And I was wondering if

347
00:17:58,845 --> 00:18:02,765
we in agreement or if something
the council would like to

348
00:18:02,765 --> 00:18:05,550
consider if there will be

349
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:10,310
follow-up with with those
offices that if we're gonna get

350
00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:13,910
annual report or feedback on
on what they do because they do

351
00:18:13,910 --> 00:18:18,070
represent us and I think
other than coming to one

352
00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:20,205
coming to Sperto's Inn.

353
00:18:20,205 --> 00:18:21,885
We never heard from them.

354
00:18:21,885 --> 00:18:26,205
Oh, asking them to attend.
We can we can I've.

355
00:18:26,205 --> 00:18:29,525
You don't have to share
his office clerk and. Yeah.

356
00:18:30,445 --> 00:18:33,680
Have not reached out to them
yet but we can definitely That

357
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,880
is on our agenda to do.

358
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,440
Yes, sir.

359
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Yeah. So I'm not sure if it was.

360
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,200
I just wanna make sure that we
do mention because we we never,

361
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:47,215
you know I think I might have
we get maybe mailers and stuff.

362
00:18:47,215 --> 00:18:51,215
But I wouldn't I don't wanna
impose if that's not something

363
00:18:51,215 --> 00:18:52,415
you guys are interested in.

364
00:18:52,415 --> 00:18:54,855
I just wanted to
bring it up because

365
00:18:54,975 --> 00:18:58,495
I thought that, you know, it was
an eye opening that, you know,

366
00:18:58,495 --> 00:19:01,910
they always go there because
that's who supposedly paid them

367
00:19:01,910 --> 00:19:05,670
and we get often overlooked
when they are representing us.

368
00:19:05,670 --> 00:19:08,750
We can definitely make
that request to them.

369
00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:13,790
Take it we've heard
from, excuse me,

370
00:19:15,775 --> 00:19:19,775
heard from OmniRide and
DRE and things like that.

371
00:19:19,775 --> 00:19:23,695
What what kind of increases?
In general, yes, sir.

372
00:19:23,695 --> 00:19:26,895
That's that's been incorporated
into the anticipation.

373
00:19:26,895 --> 00:19:30,630
And you don't anticipate that
they need to come and talk to us?

374
00:19:30,630 --> 00:19:32,550
I'm asking.

375
00:19:32,550 --> 00:19:35,510
I don't believe we I think
the omnivore was increased,

376
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:37,830
but that doesn't mean they
can't come talk to us.

377
00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:40,150
I'm gonna ask him
for more. Okay.

378
00:19:40,150 --> 00:19:42,670
Well, I don't wanna
lose our time.

379
00:19:44,795 --> 00:19:46,315
Not not saying Wake them up.

380
00:19:46,315 --> 00:19:47,435
Yeah. It's right.

381
00:19:47,435 --> 00:19:48,315
Don't wake them up.

382
00:19:48,315 --> 00:19:48,955
You didn't ask them.

383
00:19:48,955 --> 00:19:51,675
That's right. That's
all. I'm just asking.

384
00:19:51,675 --> 00:19:55,075
That's all. Okay.
Any anything else?

385
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:01,560
Oh, did you want me to answer the
flat tax bill question now, the rate?

386
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,760
I was gonna have that at this.

387
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,280
It's the same. Okay.

388
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,120
Thank you, though.
You're see efficient.

389
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,120
Anything I'll explain
this real quick.

390
00:20:11,195 --> 00:20:13,515
I'll explain this
real Explain what?

391
00:20:13,515 --> 00:20:15,515
Before you go there. Uh-oh.

392
00:20:15,515 --> 00:20:20,075
Think Just give me one
second. One second.

393
00:20:20,075 --> 00:20:23,035
Is the is the twenty
twenty six plan

394
00:20:23,035 --> 00:20:25,450
post in the website?

395
00:20:25,450 --> 00:20:26,810
I will have to check on that.

396
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:31,170
I believe that everything included
in your book is on our website.

397
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:35,690
But I confirm that because that is
something that you have to adopt.

398
00:20:35,690 --> 00:20:38,410
We will be requesting
you to adopt

399
00:20:38,410 --> 00:20:39,605
as part of the budget.

400
00:20:39,605 --> 00:20:42,685
Yes, ma'am. I just wanna
make sure people can proceed.

401
00:20:42,965 --> 00:20:45,925
You. Sit down.
Diana's. Thank you.

402
00:20:45,925 --> 00:20:46,405
Sorry.

403
00:20:46,405 --> 00:20:47,725
It's that Vice Mayor.

404
00:20:48,325 --> 00:20:48,725
No.

405
00:20:48,725 --> 00:20:53,885
There's So I I had a curiosity
and some just basic research.

406
00:20:55,020 --> 00:21:01,020
Six thousand dollars is the
pre close, plus or minus.

407
00:21:01,020 --> 00:21:05,100
The average revenue the city
will receive from property tax

408
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:09,495
this year for the average
residential property?

409
00:21:09,495 --> 00:21:11,935
Six thousand. Six
thousand dollars.

410
00:21:12,295 --> 00:21:16,095
Four thousand dollars is
what Fauquier County gets.

411
00:21:18,375 --> 00:21:23,100
Seven thousand dollars
is the bill in the park.

412
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:28,620
Eight thousand dollars is
the average residential bill.

413
00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:32,860
Actually, a little over eight thousand
in Fairfax and Loudoun County.

414
00:21:34,055 --> 00:21:37,255
Arlington, Alexandria is more
like eighty five hundred.

415
00:21:37,255 --> 00:21:41,655
Nine thousand is the amount
of revenue the city of Fairfax

416
00:21:41,655 --> 00:21:43,975
receives from the average house.

417
00:21:43,975 --> 00:21:45,295
Daily.

418
00:21:46,055 --> 00:21:49,350
What was the I'm sorry?
What was the seven?

419
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:50,710
Seven is the park.

420
00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:51,830
The park. Park.

421
00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:53,110
Oh, that's the park.

422
00:21:53,110 --> 00:21:56,710
But my point in, you know,
I'll I'll eventually Six is us.

423
00:21:56,710 --> 00:21:59,270
We all end up paying
the same, essentially,

424
00:21:59,270 --> 00:22:03,270
for the city manager or fireman

425
00:22:03,270 --> 00:22:05,185
or a policeman.

426
00:22:06,425 --> 00:22:10,305
But other jurisdictions
get a lot more revenue

427
00:22:10,345 --> 00:22:13,665
in the average house than we do,

428
00:22:13,945 --> 00:22:16,545
which therefore drives rates.

429
00:22:17,870 --> 00:22:20,910
Just an interesting
little aside.

430
00:22:20,910 --> 00:22:21,870
A little tidbit.

431
00:22:21,870 --> 00:22:23,470
Yeah. Thank you.

432
00:22:23,470 --> 00:22:24,630
Anything

433
00:22:30,270 --> 00:22:31,270
else?

434
00:22:31,325 --> 00:22:33,325
Any other comments, questions?

435
00:22:33,325 --> 00:22:37,005
Priorities are laid out for
the sixth. Eight thirty sharp.

436
00:22:37,005 --> 00:22:38,565
Yeah. We'll bang.

437
00:22:39,165 --> 00:22:41,325
Eight for breakfast.
Eight thirty sharp.

438
00:22:41,325 --> 00:22:44,950
We eat. Eight. Okay. So
eight breakfast. Okay.

439
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:46,550
And what you eating it from?

440
00:22:46,550 --> 00:22:47,750
Omelette Cafe.

441
00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:48,990
Oh.

442
00:22:49,670 --> 00:22:52,190
Omelette Cafe.

443
00:22:52,790 --> 00:22:55,190
That's a community center
we're playing. We're playing.

444
00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:56,510
We're playing.

445
00:22:56,630 --> 00:22:58,935
Yes, we're playing
at the movie center.

446
00:22:58,935 --> 00:22:59,495
That's good.

447
00:22:59,495 --> 00:23:02,535
No, mister Smith, we're all
gonna be given ten dollars,

448
00:23:02,535 --> 00:23:05,495
and we'll go to Wawa and
pick up breakfast there.

449
00:23:05,495 --> 00:23:05,655
Oh.

450
00:23:05,655 --> 00:23:06,215
There you go.

451
00:23:06,215 --> 00:23:08,295
In lottery tickets, you
might win a million dollars.

452
00:23:08,295 --> 00:23:08,775
That's right.

453
00:23:08,775 --> 00:23:09,735
In a lottery ticket.

454
00:23:09,735 --> 00:23:10,490
No.

455
00:23:10,490 --> 00:23:11,850
Okay. Anything else?

456
00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:13,450
And your taxes. To tell us?

457
00:23:13,450 --> 00:23:13,850
No, ma'am.

458
00:23:13,850 --> 00:23:16,490
So the sixth is the
next budget meeting.

459
00:23:16,490 --> 00:23:18,090
Eight o'clock, and eight thirty,

460
00:23:18,090 --> 00:23:18,970
we'll start the meeting.

461
00:23:18,970 --> 00:23:22,530
So be there till five. Question.

462
00:23:24,315 --> 00:23:27,435
Have we had a broadcast
it's not being broadcast.

463
00:23:27,435 --> 00:23:30,315
It's just, what, live
again, like our retreat?

464
00:23:30,315 --> 00:23:31,595
Is they're doing the same thing?

465
00:23:31,595 --> 00:23:32,875
This Yes,

466
00:23:32,875 --> 00:23:35,675
I don't believe we have the
ability to broadcast from the

467
00:23:35,675 --> 00:23:36,480
community center.

468
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:36,880
Yet.

469
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,560
We will check that out.

470
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,640
I I do know we have
the ability to record.

471
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,960
I just don't believe we have
the ability And I will note

472
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,680
that I I've already just
talked to AMS about it.

473
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,920
We'll have the ability to pause and
start the stream while we're there.

474
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,685
So, hopefully, that'll be
Are you gonna control it?

475
00:23:52,685 --> 00:23:53,925
Thank you.

476
00:23:56,205 --> 00:23:59,925
Anything else? Any other
comments, questions?

477
00:24:00,525 --> 00:24:00,845
Not.

478
00:24:00,845 --> 00:24:01,645
We're adjourned.

479
00:24:01,645 --> 00:24:02,885
Thank you.
