Uh, this came through um our 165 00:10:36,959 --> 00:10:42,000 last finance meeting. I think we talked about it a couple times ago, a couple 166 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,920 meetings ago. Uh this is just a reallocation and look at every year we 167 00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:48,880 kind of look at the income tax to see where we stand on the income tax 168 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:54,000 collections and if there should be any modifications made. We did make a 169 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:59,600 modification uh uh modifying 2% uh income tax from the uh 106 account which 170 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:03,040 is the police fund to the 301 general purpose capital account and the general 171 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,480 fund. Uh some of these things looking forward are are things that you know 172 00:11:04,959 --> 00:11:10,480 from a capital perspective that we need to do in a city. We need to start saving 173 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,800 up. We did deplete the 301 capital account from uh the Khash project. So we 174 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,800 need to build a little bit more in there. Uh this would not have a negative 175 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:24,079 impact on the police department as they will still be receiving uh funds that 176 00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:26,880 match their uh budget amount uh going forward and they have a lot of carry 177 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:30,480 forward that they can cover if there are any shortfalls and things that come up 178 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,440 that were unanticipated.
