00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:04,560
» So Neielson just sent me a message. He's

00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,479
coming in hot. He's going to try to get

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,759
online while he's coming and then he'll

32
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:10,959
be in here. So, we'll recognize him when

33
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:12,959
he gets in here. So, all right. Uh the

34
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:14,720
first item on on there is this uh is

35
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:16,560
item four the presentation is the STAR

36
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,319
road report online. You can see that

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,640
road report and refers to all the

38
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:22,800
projects we have going on uh in and

39
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:25,040
around STAR. Um, I will just make a

40
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,200
mention real quick again that on August

41
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,760
18th is when the ITD, the Idaho

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,959

00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Highway 44 widening uh through STAR is

44
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,120
going to be uh the bids will be opened.

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,680
U they plan on starting that project in

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,440
November with the completion of October

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,319
2027.

48
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,080
That will coincide with they're

49
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:51,519
anticipating that will coincide with the

50
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,080
completion of the 4416 overpass. also.

51
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:55,440
So, it'll be a little bit more well,

52
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,800
it's painful anyway to drive through

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,200
town, right? So, it's just going to be a

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,480
little bit more painful with uh that

55
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,000
road construction going through town,

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,800
but it'll be beautiful once it's all

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,239
completed. Okay. All right. With that

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,760

Hearing none. Roll call.

90
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:24,479

we will have discussions.

102
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:11,360
I'm going to turn a little bit more kind

Thank you.

107
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:25,120
All right. So, we're going to talk about

108
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,960
our 26 27 budget uh tonight. Um back in

109
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,639
May and June, we had some budget

110
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,199
workshops. Really worked out the numbers

111
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:33,440
and stuff on here. Uh tonight is a lot

112
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:36,160
about public input if we have some input

113
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,919
on it. Um and adjustments if there's any

114
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,400
that the council wants to make. We

115
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:44,400
cannot adjust it up. We can only adjust

116
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,160
it down. Okay. Um, we publish it in the

117
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,639
state law requires us to make the

118
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,919
publish and once you publish it uh in

119
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:54,320
the p in the in the media, you're stuck

120
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:57,680
with that number unless it goes down.

121
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:01,479
Okay. All right. Oh, that's me. Sorry, I

122
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,479
got to remember I'm doing this.

123
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,039
All right. A little bit. If you haven't

124
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,560
been here before, we're going to talk a

125
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:08,800
little bit about what we call reliable

126
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,720
income and mandatory expenses. Some of

127
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,120
the reliable income that we have in the

128
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,960
city of Star come from property taxes,

129
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,280
revenue sharing, liquor revenue, and

130
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,120
franchise fees. Revenue sharing and

131
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:22,080
liquor revenue is a distribution amount

132
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,680
that comes to us from the state uh from

133
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,440
revenue sharing from sales tax revenue

134
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,759
and liquor revenue from the liquor that

135
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,600
they uh that gets sold uh throughout the

136
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:32,240
state of Idaho. It gets distributed

137
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,880
amongst uh counties and cities, a

138
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,880
portion of it does. Um, and then they

139
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:41,120
distribute it to us based on population

140
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,960
based on the US Census Bureau population

141
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,960
numbers, not Compass's population

142
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,880
numbers. And so, while Compass shows

143
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,680
that we have 25,000 people, the US

144
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,440
Census Bureau still shows us with 21 on

145
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,880
there, just so you're aware. And so,

146
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,319
we're we're kind of getting hosed on

147
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,240
that a little bit. And I wish they would

148
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:58,240
make some changes on that, but but not

149
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,919
everybody has an MO, which is what

150
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,199
Compass is, a metropolitan planning

151
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:02,880
organization. There's only six of them

152
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:04,720
in the state of Idaho. and you have

153
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,800
rural areas that are not part of any of

154
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,560
those um that wouldn't have accurate

155
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,960
numbers anyway. So they they have to use

156
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,319
the US Census Bureau right now for that.

157
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,960
Um property taxes is what it is. Um City

158
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:19,280
of Star utilizes our property taxes 100%

159
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:23,360
of that to go uh pay for our police. And

160
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:27,039
then we get franchise fees from um

161
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:30,560
uh s I'm sorry from uh power, gas, uh

162
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:32,639
trash um and cable which cable is going

163
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,039
down. Most people don't use cable that

164
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:37,039
it's going to tank out at one point. Um

165
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:38,720
and then we have and that's it on the

166
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:42,319
reliable income that comes in every

167
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,000
single year. Mandatory expenses things

168
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:46,479
that we we are required to pay for is

169
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,599
our police, the animal control, our

170
00:07:46,479 --> 00:07:51,199
legal staff, which is both the 80 county

171
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:52,720
prosecutor, the county prosecutor. We'll

172
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:54,400
talk about that a little bit later. Our

173
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,680
city staff and our liability insurance

174
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,360
that we have as a city.

175
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,680
Some of our pass through income and pass

176
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,199
through expenses. They come through a

177
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,680
lot of it comes through our our impact

178
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:07,919
fees and proportionate share agreements.

179
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,000
Um such as our star park impact fees

180
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:11,520
that we had this year can only be used

181
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,599
on the funds that are collected on that

182
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,960
can only be used on park improvements uh

183
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:17,360
as based on our capital improvement

184
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,759
plan. Same thing with the newly adopted

185
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,520
Star Police impact fee. Our Ada County

186
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:23,680
Highway District has an impact fee that

187
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,599
they have recently updated. The Star

188
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,680
Fire District has an impact fee. Highway

189
00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:32,560
District 4 has an impact fee. Ada County

190
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,479
um has uh new impact fees for the

191
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:35,760
sheriff, jail, and coroner. And then we

192
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:39,440
have a proportionate share agreement

193
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,519
with Idaho Transportation Department. Um

194
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,880
that is an agreement that requires

195
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:46,320
development to pay $1,000 per unit uh in

196
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,959
their developments to help fund state

197
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,640
highway projects in and around STAR. We

198
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:52,880
also have some other pass through income

199
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,480
and expenses uh relating to our

200
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,839
inspectors that we have for building

201
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,160
inspectors on there and we'll talk about

202
00:08:55,839 --> 00:09:00,000
that here in just a little bit. City of

203
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,160
Star is pretty fiscally strong. We have

204
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,800
about $18 million in all of our accounts

205
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,880
in the city right now. Um that's a good

206
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,640
thing. So what are we proposing to do

207
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,320
this year? Oh, and I will just make a

208
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,040
note just on the record that Kevin's

209
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:16,680
here. He was coming in hot. He let us

210
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,680
know. So thank you.

211
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,279
property taxes. The city of Star is uh

212
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,680
planning to levy property taxes in

213
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:25,680
amount of $2,388,000

214
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:27,920
$564

215
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:30,640
um to all the citizens and businesses in

216
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,560
Star. Part of that comes from a foregone

217
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,240
balance which was previous taxes that we

218
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:36,240
have not collected. The state of Idaho

219
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,120
only allows us to collect 1% of the

220
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,959
foregone every year. Um and that's about

221
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,080
$23,784

222
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:45,760
of that uh is comes out of the uh that

223
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,760
total amount there. So the total is

224
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,560
2388564

225
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,480
is what we're requesting to be collected

226
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:54,720
uh on that. We still have a healthy

227
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,519
foregone balance right now uh before

228
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,440
taking out that 23,000. We have 641,000

229
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,880
sitting in that balance. So it'll take

230
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,080
quite a few years to get that money

231
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:06,720
recovered on there. What does that do to

232
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,720
uh property taxpayers and star? With the

233
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,880
growth that we have seen, we see our

234
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,760
property taxes continue to decrease even

235
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,680
with increasing our uh property taxes by

236
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,600
the full 8%. were allowed and the 1%

237
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:19,360
foregone that we're allowed to collect.

238
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,959
We're anticipating to see our levy rate

239
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,079
dropped to which then this is really

240
00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:27,600
low. 0491,

241
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:30,160
which is basically $4910 per 100,000 in

242
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,320
taxable value uh of your property here

243
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,320
in Star. So that's dropped what about

244
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,240
three bucks from last year, you know,

245
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,000
even with making an increase on there,

246
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,519
which the increase is necessary. We'll

247
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,760
talk about that here uh shortly.

248
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:45,040
the land values in Star just so you

249
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,600
understand where that comes from. So you

250
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,880
take that 2 million 388 that we're

251
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,000
talking about and you divide it in that

252
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:55,440
taxable value uh of Star. Our total

253
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,920
values in our community is 5.7

254
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,480
billion in ADA and Canyon County. That

255
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,160
is a lot. When I was first on city

256
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,160
council and Kevin was first on city

257
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,560
council, Councilman Nielsen, we were

258
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:09,839
only like at 690 million in taxable

259
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:11,279
value uh back in 2016 time frame. That

260
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:13,839
kind of shows you how we have grown a

261
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:15,279
lot. Our taxable value less our

262
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:18,079
homeowners exemptions and other

263
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:20,800
exemptions that are there is $4.8

264
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:22,800
billion. And so you take that 2388 into

265
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,920
that 4.8 and there's little adjustments

266
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,480
that happen with that as well.

267
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Revenue uh sharing, we're anticipating

268
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,680
receiving $1.6 million from the state uh

269
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,320
in that revenue sharing fund, which is

270
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:40,240
about a 9% increase. Our liquor revenue

271
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:42,399
is about a 522% increase to 302,000.

272
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,600
Um, and then our franchise fees amongst

273
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:47,600
those all those uh groups is 513,000.

274
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,120
We all pay those franchise fees. If you

275
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,160
don't realize that, you look on your

276
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,640
bill from your Idaho Power, from your

277
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,240
Interm Mountain Gas, from your cable,

278
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,519
and from your Republic Services, you

279
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,519
will actually see it broken out on there

280
00:11:57,519 --> 00:12:01,680
that there is a franchise fee amount.

281
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:03,760
So, every new house that comes in or

282
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:06,000
every new business adds to that figure

283
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,360
every year on those franchise fees,

284
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,399
which is a percentage of what you're

285
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,480
paying on there.

286
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:14,480
This graph here, and it's Oh, and I

287
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,000
forgot to mention folks, there is a if

288
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,760
you haven't received the packet, there

289
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,360
is an actual packet back there that

290
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,600
talks about all this stuff and has these

291
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,600
graphs in here as well. But this shows

292
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:27,760
you an idea of the growth of our

293
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:30,399
reliable income from 2019 till now. Um

294
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,399
we have roughly five close to close to

295
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:34,800
five billion or $5 million in reliable

296
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:38,000
income every year that comes in from all

297
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:40,463
those different sources.

298
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,519
Now we also have these impact fees

299
00:12:40,463 --> 00:12:42,480
[clears throat] that we talked about a

300
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:44,079
little bit previously. We're

301
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,040
anticipating and remember some a lot of

302
00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:48,160
this is pass through. In fact, ACD,

303
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,320
every bit of that is passed through

304
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,959
minus a $20 administrative fee that we

305
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,639
get back uh from them for administering

306
00:12:52,959 --> 00:12:57,680
those for collecting those impact fees

307
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:59,760
for each permit right on there. So, in

308
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:02,240
this budget sheet that we have here, I

309
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,920
think we actually break that down on

310
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:08,959
there or in the packet it's broken down

311
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:11,600
as well as far as uh what those um uh

312
00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:13,760
amounts are. And if you look at and

313
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,040
we're basing everything on 750 building

314
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,800
permits this year, which is going to be

315
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,079
less than what we were received this

316
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:22,000
this this next fiscal year compared to

317
00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:23,600
what we're receiving this fiscal year.

318
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,839
We were just over 800 as what we're

319
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,600
anticipating receiving. We were seeing a

320
00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:29,760
small reduction in the number of permits

321
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,040
coming in every year. Um it was as high

322
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,399
as,00 several years ago. Um but it's

323
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,279
still pretty strong for the city of

324
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:39,040
Star. Since we're a dual county city,

325
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:40,959
we're anticipating about 600 of these

326
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,440
building permits coming in from the 80

327
00:13:40,959 --> 00:13:45,600
county side and 150 of them coming in

328
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,519
from the Canyon County side. How we

329
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,160
determine that is based on the number of

330
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:52,240
approved flats that are in those

331
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,200
different counties um on there on what's

332
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,959
available to be built.

333
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,800
So, if you look at ACD, we're saying

334
00:13:56,959 --> 00:14:02,000
that we're going to be collecting 3.4

335
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,760
million from development on that to be

336
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,839
transferred back to ACD for road

337
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,579
improvements. That breaks down they

338
00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:08,560
basically 700 um I'm sorry

339
00:14:07,579 --> 00:14:12,079
[clears throat]

340
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:14,880
600 permits by $5,83.

341
00:14:12,079 --> 00:14:16,480
They significantly increased

342
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,199
their impact fees. It used to be about

343
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,199
3500 Ryan. Is that right? About 3500 for

344
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:23,519
impact fees for ACG prior to their

345
00:14:21,199 --> 00:14:25,199
increase to 5,800.

346
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:27,519
Um so their capital improvement plan's

347
00:14:25,199 --> 00:14:29,680
been updated. The Star Park impact fee

348
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:33,120
stays local. We just updated our impact

349
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:36,560
fees here um I think in April time

350
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:39,360
frame. Um, and this figure for impact

351
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:42,959
fees is based on 750 housing starts in

352
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,839
STAR uh this next year. U which is about

353
00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:48,399
uh what do we got? $4,695

354
00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:52,480
per impact fee. And we we tiered that

355
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:53,760
into into three years. So 46 4,695 the

356
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,959
first year. The second year is going to

357
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,800
be higher. The third year is going to be

358
00:14:54,959 --> 00:14:58,320
the ultimate buildout on that that

359
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,959
they're going to be collecting 100% of

360
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:04,160
the impact fees for that because it used

361
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:07,120
to be 2,50 bucks. So 4,000

362
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:11,199
600 is a significant increase in impact

363
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:13,120
fees. Starfire impact fee uh is 16 $1.6

364
00:15:11,199 --> 00:15:16,000
million that we're collecting on that

365
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:19,440
and they're based on 750 as well. Uh the

366
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,880
Starfire impact fee is $2,152 per

367
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:25,040
residential door. Um highway district 4

368
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,199
is the Ada County Hobby District's

369
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,279
equivalent in Canyon County. We'll be

370
00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:34,000
collecting impact fees at a at a rate of

371
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:37,600
150 of those at a $5,000 $5,50 uh cost

372
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,760
per per unit. We also have a brand new

373
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,160
star police impact fee uh that we

374
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,240
instituted in April uh and we'll be

375
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,079
collecting money on that uh to apply

376
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,480
towards our capital improvement plan

377
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:50,880
which includes police cars uh on that

378
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,880
which is a little more unique than

379
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,079
others in the state of Idaho on there.

380
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,399
So, it's going to help us fund some of

381
00:15:54,079 --> 00:15:57,920
our police with this uh uh some of the

382
00:15:56,399 --> 00:16:01,519
equipment that we need for our police on

383
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:03,279
there. And then Ada County impact fees,

384
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:05,920
you know, they have the Ada County uh

385
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:08,240
what we talk sheriff, a coroner, and um

386
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:12,320
the jail on there. And that we're only

387
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:14,399
getting about $750 um per unit on that

388
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,160
at 600 units that come up with that

389
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:18,399
$450,000.

390
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,160
Okay? So, that's important to know

391
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:22,160
there. But remember, these are

392
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,600
passroughs. That's a lot of our income.

393
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:28,480
A lot of our budget is pass through

394
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,800
money on there.

395
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,880
Here's a approved list of ITD proportion

396
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,160
shares based on development. The yellow

397
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,000
is stuff that we've been collecting

398
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,519
money on based on preliminary plast. The

399
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,920
whites are ones that we're still waiting

400
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:42,800
to collect funds on uh as we go. And I

401
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,880
believe if you look at that is that a 7

402
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,519
something million uh that was uh that

403
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,399
we've got um agreed upon and we've

404
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:53,040
collected uh just north of $4 million so

405
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:54,720
far on that. And again, this is passed

406
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,720
through. It's money that could only be

407
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:00,600
used on state highway improvements here

408
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,600
within the city of Star.

409
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,439
Okay. Building and land use fees.

410
00:17:03,776 --> 00:17:09,360
[clears throat]

411
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:10,959
We get fees for each of the permits that

412
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:13,679
get submitted to the city of Star. And

413
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:15,439
these fees help fund our planning

414
00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:17,679
department and our building department

415
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:19,839
out there. Um, if you look, we have

416
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:23,439
building application and it should say

417
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:25,839
review, not RV fees on there of 2.3

418
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:27,439
million. Uh, that's an average about

419
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:29,280
$3,159

420
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:30,799
per per residential unit. It's all based

421
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,039
on the square footage of the unit. I'm

422
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:34,720
just giving you an average. A smaller

423
00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:36,400
square footed unit will pay less. A

424
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,600
higher square footed unit will pay more

425
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,440
on that. We have building permit fees um

426
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,280
that we get as well on that, which is

427
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,360
$2,215.

428
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,640
We get electrical permit fees, we get

429
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:49,200
plumbing permit fees, and we get

430
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:52,080
mechanical permit fees. So, the

431
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:55,200
electrical, plumbing, and mechanical, we

432
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:57,840
contract out the um inspectors on that

433
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,880
and they get 60% of that income and we

434
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:04,320
retain 40% of that income as a city to

435
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:07,679
help fund some stuff.

436
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,600
Uh building and land use, uh additional

437
00:18:07,679 --> 00:18:11,679
continue fees, we do charge for

438
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,600
reinspections and all the fees between

439
00:18:11,679 --> 00:18:15,520
building, electrical, mechanical, and

440
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,000
plumbing. Uh, so we anticipate

441
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,799
collecting about 18,000 commercial

442
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,480
permit fees. Um, these are just

443
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:24,880
averages. This could be higher, this

444
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,559
could be lower. It just depends on which

445
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,919
commercial units come in and the square

446
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:29,600
footage of their units and whatnot

447
00:18:27,919 --> 00:18:32,080
because they pay a fee associated with

448
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,960
that uh the size of that development.

449
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,880
And land use fees. Land use fees are

450
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,840
applications when people come in and ask

451
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,440
for annexation and zoning um

452
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,520
reconsideration, all that kind of stuff.

453
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,280
Those are land use fees uh that the

454
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,520
developers and stuff pay to the city of

455
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,280
Star to have those hearings on there and

456
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,440
there's quite an extensive list of those

457
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,080
fees, but that's the total amount that

458
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,240
we're anticipating to collect.

459
00:18:54,080 --> 00:19:00,320
We also are still anticipating to get an

460
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,600
ITD police grant. We hope um of 35,000

461
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,000
that will help. It's not a lot, but

462
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:08,320
every little bit helps. We also don't

463
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:10,320
have spots. We have sports on there.

464
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,720
We have sports and recreation grant that

465
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,799
we're looking at at $5,000. And our

466
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,960
hometown celebration, we do get people

467
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:18,320
that do sponsor that. If you notice, if

468
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,240
you're at the fireworks show this year

469
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,880
around the stage, you saw the names of

470
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,799
the sponsors. Those guys help uh fund uh

471
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,320
that celebration. And then we have

472
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:28,000
miscellaneous events and programs like

473
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,000
our flag pole program that we do for

474
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,840
veterans uh here in the city of Star,

475
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,083
things like that that we uh receive

476
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,520
funding for on that.

477
00:19:35,083 --> 00:19:37,919
» [clears throat]

478
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,679
» We do have uh sports fees, class and

479
00:19:37,919 --> 00:19:41,919
activity fees and camps. There's quite a

480
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:44,400
bit of income uh coming in and being

481
00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:47,440
generated for that. What we are seeing

482
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,919
now we're starting back in the day none

483
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,240
of the the staff was able to be paid for

484
00:19:49,919 --> 00:19:54,720
by the fees that we were collecting on

485
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,559
that. But now we're starting to see a

486
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,160
lot of the staff uh salaries being paid

487
00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:00,400
for by these fees being collected

488
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,919
because of the volume that and the

489
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,320
programs that we're putting out there.

490
00:20:01,919 --> 00:20:07,760
It's a great thing, right? We have a

491
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:10,240
very rob sports and activity and camp

492
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,160
thing. I mean, I I know our staff is

493
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,520
ready for camps to be done this week.

494
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,840
They've had a lot this summer, right? Um

495
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,919
and school starts next Wednesday, week

496
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,520
from tomorrow in West Data School

497
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:23,760
District.

498
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,520
And we also have uh rentals at Freedom

499
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,039
Park, uh Freedom Park Reynolds, which is

500
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,720
renting our paddle boards, collecting

501
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:31,280
money for snacks and all that kind of

502
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,960
stuff. And that's going to be it could

503
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,280
be higher, it could be lower uh than

504
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,520
that 43,000 on there. It's all going to

505
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,600
depend on whether if we have swimmer's

506
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,720
edge, if we have all those kind of

507
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,320
things out there that may uh right now

508
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,240
smoke, right, is deterring folks from

509
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,760
going out there to to utilize the

510
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:52,000
facilities and stuff like that. So,

511
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,799
um we also received money from court and

512
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:58,000
code fines. Um the code fines, it's not

513
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:59,919
a whole lot. the code fines will be

514
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,520
interesting because we just adopted the

515
00:20:59,919 --> 00:21:03,440
fine structure for that and how we're

516
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,520
going to be collecting that this year.

517
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,960
Um, and so that's added on to the court

518
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:11,200
fines that we receive from the courts um

519
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,799
for misdemeanors and infractions and

520
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,320
things like that that they collect based

521
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:17,120
on the tickets and things that that are

522
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:20,159
issued out there. We do have a alcohol

523
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:22,159
and beverage licenses in STAR. I believe

524
00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:24,640
I can't remember if it's 11 I think it's

525
00:21:22,159 --> 00:21:26,720
11 liquor permits that we have for the

526
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,120
city of Star and then unlimited number

527
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,799
of beer and wine licenses that we're

528
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:36,080
allowed uh to provide and oh did I did I

529
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:38,000
go too far I'm sorry I didn't I let me I

530
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,400
I jumped ahead on my paper right here

531
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,880
and not on there. Um we have

532
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,200
miscellaneous revenue um which doesn't

533
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,039
fit in any other category. We do collect

534
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,679
police mitigation fees that help us pay

535
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:51,280
for our police department. Every new uh

536
00:21:49,679 --> 00:21:54,400
house that's built in Star at the time

537
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:56,000
of permit pays uh a little over $3,000

538
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,159
uh for a police mitigation fee. It's a

539
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,159
onetime fee to help fund the police.

540
00:21:58,159 --> 00:22:01,600
Okay? It's not ongoing, and that's

541
00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:03,919
something that we are working on with

542
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,000
the state. You'll notice on here, we do

543
00:22:03,919 --> 00:22:07,760
not have fire mitigation fees. We've

544
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,080
suspended collecting fire mitigation

545
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,440
fees because we passed that two-year

546
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,360
temporary levy. That was the whole

547
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,520
purpose of the fire mitigation is to

548
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:17,440
help them try to fund some of the staff

549
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,200
that they need for the fire department.

550
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,760
The fire mitigation fees that we have

551
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,240
collected, which is roughly 6 million so

552
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,640
far, are helping to fund the fire

553
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,440
stations earlier than what we could have

554
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,120
after this levy was approved. The fire

555
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,000
district doesn't get levy money until

556
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:35,919
January. Um but they have started the

557
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,039
hiring process and the training process

558
00:22:35,919 --> 00:22:41,520
now for the firefighters uh that come on

559
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:44,880
sooner and then it allows them to to

560
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:47,440
utilize it for um the what we've

561
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,679
collected for their um increases and

562
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,720
stuff for the current fire uh staff out

563
00:22:49,679 --> 00:22:54,240
there. Um

564
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,159
you will see the fire mitigation fee

565
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,919
come back if a levy doesn't pass again

566
00:22:56,159 --> 00:23:01,120
in the future on that just so you're

567
00:22:57,919 --> 00:23:03,440
aware. But passport issuance, uh, we do

568
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:06,240
issue passports. Michelle's team

569
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,400
upstairs does a great job of of

570
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,480
passports and we take passport pictures

571
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:14,400
up there. So, we collect about $170,000

572
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:16,559
per year uh, in those fees.

573
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,919
So, I think I skipped this thing on

574
00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:19,840
there, so I'm going just talk about it.

575
00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:21,440
We do have dog licensing fees, vendor

576
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,679
licenses, which are your door todoor

577
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,840
guys and the folks that go around uh,

578
00:23:23,679 --> 00:23:27,520
with the food trucks and whatnot. our

579
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,200
alcohol beverage licenses, what I was

580
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,880
talking about. We we're anticipating

581
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:35,760
about $11,000 for that. Um we do have

582
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:38,640
park reservations, facility rentals. We

583
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,559
get interest revenue. Um Michelle has

584
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,880
just secured we just we've been working

585
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:44,640
with Clearwater uh financial to come up

586
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,080
with a plan and they helped us a little

587
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,400
bit on coming up with a plan after Miss

588
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,360
Sue asked about two years ago asked us

589
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:54,240
this question on how we could increase

590
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:55,600
um our interest revenue. and uh Michelle

591
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,440
has got this all figured out and we're

592
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,360
going to get more money from the banks

593
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,200
and interest on our accounts and stuff

594
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:02,880
like that. It's quite it's a significant

595
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,880
amount which is going to be nice. And

596
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,400
then we also get money from donations.

597
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,720
So if you look at our revenue, our

598
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,520
revenue projected revenue is $25 million

599
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,200
for this next fiscal year. Of that 2.3

600
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,000
million of that is property tax money

601
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,240
which is 9.5% of the total. If we look

602
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,840
at this year's re uh total revenue

603
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,640
versus last year's budget revenue, this

604
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,640
is decreased about 4.93%.

605
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,559
And that's for various factors on there

606
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,880
why it's decreasing. That could be a

607
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:31,840
deceiving number. Be transparent because

608
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,760
we had a 4 million $4.9 million about

609
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,120
project for the Liberty Hall that was

610
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,600
included in last year's budget that's

611
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:39,520
not there. We do have some increases in

612
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,840
costs or in revenues that we're

613
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,120
collecting from impact fees being

614
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,039
increased, you know. So, there's a lot

615
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:47,200
of numbers that play into that, but but

616
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:49,360
a lot of times you'll see people report,

617
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:52,720
well, they went down 5%. Well, why why

618
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:53,919
is it really 5% or is it really not 5%.

619
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,679
I'm just going to tell you it's really

620
00:24:53,919 --> 00:24:59,600
truly not a 5% decrease on there, but I

621
00:24:57,679 --> 00:25:03,039
wanted to point that out uh to you on

622
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,799
that. Okay. Expenses. Our biggest

623
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:06,960
expense right now is our law enforcement

624
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:10,159
expense. Our contract with Ida County

625
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:14,080
Sheriff uh is for this next fiscal year

626
00:25:10,159 --> 00:25:15,440
is going to be about $5.5 million. Um we

627
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,039
are going to be adding two patrol

628
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,240
deputies with that. One juvenile

629
00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:23,600
detective for um um Independence

630
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:26,000
Elementary School. Uh one IAC detective

631
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,480
is in internet ch children's against

632
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,960
crime or intimate

633
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,279
crimes against children. Right? let's

634
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,679
say that the right way. Uh detective,

635
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:37,360
we're seeing an uptick in that um even

636
00:25:35,679 --> 00:25:38,720
here in Star. And so it's important that

637
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:40,799
we have a detective that's hammering

638
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,960
that uh a lot. And then we're adding a

639
00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:44,400
detective sergeant. And so what that's

640
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,919
going to do is that's going to bring us

641
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,679
to approximately 1.14 officers per

642
00:25:47,919 --> 00:25:52,720
thousand. Our goal in the city of Star

643
00:25:49,679 --> 00:25:56,480
is one. Right now we sit just under uh

644
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:59,679
one at about 0.94.95.

645
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,440
Um, but we are going to be collecting

646
00:25:59,679 --> 00:26:03,039
um, if you if you look at my packet, it

647
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,240
breaks it down on how we're paying for

648
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:09,760
that between police mitigation fees,

649
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,880
property taxes, and impact fees that

650
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,279
we're collecting to help pay for the

651
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,679
cars and stuff that we need for that. We

652
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:17,840
are required to do animal control, which

653
00:26:15,679 --> 00:26:20,480
is $88,000

654
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:23,279
uh, with ADA or with the um, Idaho

655
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,360
Humane Society. Um, it saves our

656
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:27,840
officers a lot of time on taking these

657
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:30,880
calls. calls. I think we had rough

658
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,960
300 calls about 300 calls uh through the

659
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,520
Idaho Humane Society that took last

660
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,440
year. Um so that's that's a lot of

661
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,360
calls. That frees up our our officers

662
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,440
time on that.

663
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:43,360
Other expenses for payroll between the

664
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,960
mayor and city council, the clerk and

665
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:46,480
treasurer's office, planning and zoning

666
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,880
and building department, sports and

667
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,640
wreck, um building and grounds

668
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,720
department, and our contract employees,

669
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:56,799
and additional insurance uh as it may

670
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:59,279
come throughout the year. Um the city

671
00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:01,679
staff is receiving a 3% increase that

672
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:04,400
does not include the the city council.

673
00:27:01,679 --> 00:27:06,240
Last year uh the city council approved

674
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,559
the increase for the mayor which include

675
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,799
a 3% increase yearly on that to follow

676
00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:13,200
the the the city staff at a minimum of

677
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:15,200
three. Um

678
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,360
we years past we were able to do a

679
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:20,320
higher increase for the staff but we

680
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:22,720
also provide uh a pretty good uh benefit

681
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:25,919
package here as a city of star. So the

682
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,000
3% I think is fair uh for this for this

683
00:27:25,919 --> 00:27:30,880
year on that. Those numbers include

684
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,799
FICO, Medicare, workman's compensation,

685
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,919
public retirement, health insurance are

686
00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:38,240
all included in those costs on there.

687
00:27:35,919 --> 00:27:40,799
I I put in here so you can see it our

688
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,159
our uh city's organization chart that we

689
00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:45,200
have together so you can kind of see

690
00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:47,120
where the staff align.

691
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,480
Um, additional expenses that are

692
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:51,039
required, we paid the 80 county

693
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,960
prosecutor about $60,500

694
00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:54,640
is what we're anticipating. The reason

695
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,600
Canyon County is lower is we don't have

696
00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:00,240
as much yet on the Canyon County side.

697
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:03,840
We'll be paying them more as years go on

698
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:05,919
as we continue to grow. Um, and so

699
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,159
you'll see that number fluctuate up as

700
00:28:05,919 --> 00:28:12,240
well. We pay our city attorney about

701
00:28:08,159 --> 00:28:14,000
$61,800 per year. And we also put out

702
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,720
for additional legal because we there's

703
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,480
oftentimes that we get a lot of cases uh

704
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:21,279
where cities get sued for various

705
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,520
reasons. Even that even if they sue us

706
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:25,279
and we get taken out of the lawsuit, we

707
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,320
still have to represent that in court.

708
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:27,520
And so we have to pay for that

709
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,760
additional legal and we have a couple

710
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,360
folks that's listed in that packet uh

711
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,159
that we utilize for that. And then

712
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:36,559
ICRAMP is our insurance, our liability

713
00:28:34,159 --> 00:28:39,200
insurance through the city um that we

714
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:44,399
pay to uh an organization that ensures a

715
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:46,399
lot of um government entities on there.

716
00:28:44,399 --> 00:28:48,159
Parks and recreation development. This

717
00:28:46,399 --> 00:28:49,840
is what we're anticipating doing this

718
00:28:48,159 --> 00:28:51,919
year in our parks or I'm sorry, parks

719
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,919
and facilities development. Freedom

720
00:28:51,919 --> 00:28:56,880
Park, we're going to do some concrete

721
00:28:53,919 --> 00:28:58,480
repair along uh Freedom Park pathways.

722
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,399
There's a lot of cracks that happen on

723
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,320
there and we figured out the reason why

724
00:29:00,399 --> 00:29:03,760
is some of the heavy equipment when the

725
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,360
park was being designed were driving

726
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,320
over it at that time which caused some

727
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,840
cracks out there. Um

728
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,919
we have to still pay for that. We can't

729
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,080
get that from them from several years

730
00:29:11,919 --> 00:29:15,919
ago. We also have the Boisey River

731
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,679
Bridge that is included in that cost

732
00:29:15,919 --> 00:29:19,120
that's going to cross the Boisee River.

733
00:29:17,679 --> 00:29:22,320
It's a bridge that's currently being

734
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:24,880
taken down uh up in northern Idaho. Um

735
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,720
and will be sent down here and stored in

736
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,679
EMTT until we get our permitting and

737
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,679
stuff done with the feds. Uh and then we

738
00:29:29,679 --> 00:29:33,360
can move on with design and start doing

739
00:29:31,679 --> 00:29:34,960
concrete abutments and stuff like that.

740
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,039
Hopefully this fall or this winter when

741
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,720
the water's lower.

742
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:41,120
Rosen's Park, you'll see that this has

743
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,640
been on our on our plan for the last

744
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:46,480
this is the third year that this has

745
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:48,799
been on here. We've had some challenges

746
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,919
with the irrigation up there uh with the

747
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:52,799
flows and we're trying to get that

748
00:29:49,919 --> 00:29:55,039
resolved before we do anything on that.

749
00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:56,320
We think we have some hopefully our

750
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:58,559
engineers will have that figured out

751
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,640
here shortly on how we can fix the

752
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:02,640
irrigation system up there to asssure

753
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,480
that we have enough flows before invest

754
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,360
money in grass and trees and stuff like

755
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:10,159
that on that part. The Riverwalk parking

756
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:12,880
lot down there um is currently an

757
00:30:10,159 --> 00:30:14,799
asphalt crushed asphalt parking lot. Uh

758
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,520
we're anticipating paving that this next

759
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:19,200
year and maximizing our parking lot

760
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,760
stalls because we need to with the

761
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,440
volume of people that are down there. Um

762
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,960
and it'll just it'll save us a lot of

763
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,039
maintenance and whatnot uh in that

764
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,360
parking lot. And then we are doing a

765
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:32,320
police substation on Pard. We purchased

766
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:35,520
a facility last

767
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,399
August I think time frame uh on Pard

768
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,080
right there in front of the middle

769
00:30:36,399 --> 00:30:39,360
school and the new elementary school.

770
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,520
and we're going to be remodeling that

771
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,840
into a police substation. And the school

772
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:46,159
district is giving us an additional acre

773
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,799
next to the acre that we purchased. Um,

774
00:30:46,159 --> 00:30:50,080
and we should be securing that. You guys

775
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:51,600
will see that probably here in the next

776
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,039
next meeting, I'm hoping as far as

777
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,360
approving that second acre. And then

778
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:57,039
we'll start working on this uh this fall

779
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,760
on reming that and putting police up in

780
00:30:57,039 --> 00:31:01,039
that area as well. Okay? And that's

781
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,200
going to be help being paid for with

782
00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:04,399
some of our park impact fees. Now, one

783
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,799
thing we got to I just want to make sure

784
00:31:04,399 --> 00:31:08,320
everybody understands 100% of all these

785
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:10,000
projects cannot be paid for with park

786
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:16,240
impact fees. State law does not allow

787
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:18,000
it. State law allows us to only have um

788
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,520
to maintain the level of service, the

789
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,279
current level of service that we have to

790
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,799
pay that percentage of these new parks

791
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:24,640
and new facilities for police and stuff

792
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:26,960
like that. The rest of it comes out of

793
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,440
general funds that we have in there. So

794
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,600
it's roughly 51% I think comes from park

795
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,960
impact fees and 49% somewhere the

796
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,440
numbers in there that comes from general

797
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,200
funds on that.

798
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,279
All right. We do have professional dues

799
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,559
that we have to pay and that includes uh

800
00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:42,480
organizations like the 80ount county

801
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:44,559
emergency management, Compass, uh

802
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,880
Treasure Valley Partnership, uh folks

803
00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:49,760
like that that we pay on a yearly basis

804
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,880
that is based on our population numbers

805
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,399
uh typically with all those

806
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:56,880
organizations as determined by Compass

807
00:31:54,399 --> 00:31:59,360
uh which has us at 25,000 people. So we

808
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,799
pay a per person price. So every year

809
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,640
you'll see that number go up as we

810
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:06,080
continue to grow. And then we have

811
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:09,039
several committees um uh that are uh

812
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:11,600
doing projects. The bulk of that 124 is

813
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:14,080
100,000 going to the historical museum.

814
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:17,039
It's part of our purchase several years

815
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,559
ago. Well, even last year, I think maybe

816
00:32:17,039 --> 00:32:20,240
it was last year. Everything runs

817
00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:23,360
together. Um down there at the

818
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:26,000
Riverhouse um by by Liberty Hall, we

819
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:28,799
purchased a property 2.4 acres that had

820
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:32,880
two houses on it and a shop. One house

821
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:35,600
is going to be um um for our parks and

822
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:38,000
recreation offices. The sec second house

823
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,440
is going to be our historical museum uh

824
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,480
that we have and the committee's been

825
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,600
doing a good job of putting stuff

826
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,200
together for that. So, we're going to

827
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,399
convert it into a historical museum when

828
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,880
the project's done down there for

829
00:32:44,399 --> 00:32:50,000
Liberty Hall. Okay. It's our first one

830
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:52,080
for the city.

831
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,559
All right. Building. I'm sorry. Let's go

832
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,640
back to

833
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:59,600
Did I jump around? Oh, wait. I'm going

834
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:03,200
the wrong direction here. Sorry.

835
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,559
Will you start that again for me?

836
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,919
I'm just learning how to use this

837
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:11,200
controller, guys. I'm sorry. Huh? I am

838
00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:14,360
new. Thank you. Let me let me try to get

839
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,360
down there.

840
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,120
All right. This is some of the pass

841
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:29,039
through. Uh this is like it should be

842
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:32,559
right around the 60% mark of what we're

843
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:33,840
collecting uh on those inspectors uh for

844
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:37,279
electrical, plumbing and mechanical.

845
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,960
Those are all contracts. Um impact fees.

846
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:42,640
This is what we're passing through back

847
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:44,320
to those uh organizations there um for

848
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,480
for them to utilize on their capital

849
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:49,200
improvement projects. You know, ACD Star

850
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,960
Fire Highway District 4 in Ada County.

851
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,360
Sports and recreation. We anticipate

852
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:56,000
having about $177,000 expenses for

853
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:58,159
sports, $196,000 for classes and

854
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,360
activities.

855
00:33:58,159 --> 00:34:03,279
our buildings and grounds. Um these are

856
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,320
expenses for our buildings and grounds.

857
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:07,600
167,800 for buildings, grounds 171,

858
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:11,440
equipment, which includes the

859
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:14,879
everinccreasing cost of fuel at 95,000,

860
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:17,280
tools, uh repair, our uniforms, which

861
00:34:14,879 --> 00:34:19,280
includes a AED and first aid equipment

862
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,839
for all of our our vehicles and

863
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,520
landscaping cost right there. Um that we

864
00:34:21,839 --> 00:34:25,440
see

865
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,000
our capital expenses that we're planning

866
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,159
on doing this year for vehicles. Um, we

867
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000
need to get three 3/4 ton trucks, one on

868
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:34,320
one ton truck, and one small truck for a

869
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,639
custodial. That's going to cost us about

870
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:39,200
$260,000. These are onetime capital

871
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:41,040
expenses. Our equipment for our parks

872
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,440
and recreation department, we look at

873
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,919
those four items that they need as we

874
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:50,480
have grown our parks and the needs for

875
00:34:45,919 --> 00:34:52,560
those folks out there is about 260,735.

876
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:56,879
And then because our building was built

877
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:58,400
by the lowest bidder back in 2010, it is

878
00:34:56,879 --> 00:35:00,880
time for us to really replace these

879
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,320
windows that are leaking severely in

880
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,839
here. And so we're going to be replacing

881
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,599
all the windows in the city of Star so

882
00:35:03,839 --> 00:35:08,960
we can make it more energy efficient on

883
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:10,880
here. Um we do have some serious leaks

884
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:14,000
out of some of these windows in here. So

885
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:16,400
that'll happen this next year as well.

886
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,079
So in conclusion, we just continue to

887
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,640
remain fiscally conservative and strong.

888
00:35:18,079 --> 00:35:22,000
We have no debt, no bonds. We have a

889
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,040
healthy balance in our savings account

890
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,560
in case of recession. Our police is paid

891
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,880
for with property taxes and police

892
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,400
mitigation fees. You look at 9 and a

893
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,800
half% of our revenues generated from

894
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:35,680
property taxes. Our parks construction

895
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:38,000
is paid for with impact fees, not taxes.

896
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,160
Overall budget decreased by about 4.9,

897
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,480
but we talked about that. And our goal

898
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,400
is always to have growth pay for growth.

899
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,680
Cool. All right. All right. So, we'll go

900
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,400
sit down and if you guys signed up on

901
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,839
that sheet back there and want to speak,

902
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,040
more power to you. And then we'll have

903
00:35:49,839 --> 00:35:54,520
some conversation with the with the

904
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,520
council on it.

905
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,240
And give us just a second to get

906
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,240
everything put back put back together

907
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,240
here.

908
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:34,880
So, that used to take me two hours in

909
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:37,280
the past, but I've had everybody tell

910
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,760
me, "Spe it up."

911
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,680
» A long time.

912
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:42,640
» Auctioneer school was good for you.

913
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:46,760
» That's right. That's right. Do you have

914
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,760
the sheets there, Mr. Ryan?

915
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:51,599
I'll just ask you guys too. We'll give

916
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:55,040
everybody a chance to come and chat

917
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:56,720
about the budget if they choose.

918
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,839
Mr. Jeff, you want did you want to talk

919
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:58,800
about the budget? That was for the other

920
00:36:57,839 --> 00:37:02,400
stuff that you were talking with him

921
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:05,920
about. Right. Okay. Jerry, did you want

922
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,359
to say anything? Bruce, give everybody a

923
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,280
chance here. How about you ladies over

924
00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:11,680
here? Anybody want to talk? Did you want

925
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,280
to speak?

926
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,720
You can be You could be the only one.

927
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:19,480
That's okay.

928
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:19,480
come on up. Ask questions.

929
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,680
You don't have to speak. I just I want

930
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,000
to give everybody that's here an

931
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,240
opportunity to talk before we move on on

932
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,160
that with the council. We're good. All

933
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:32,640
right. Thank you. All right. So, we have

934
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,160
nobody willing to speak. So, we'll move

935
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,839
on to the council to have a discussion

936
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:41,359
about it. What's the council desire? You

937
00:37:37,839 --> 00:37:42,880
can make a motion. Um,

938
00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:44,480
you want to make changes, you can make

939
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:49,280
you can we can discuss changes. We can

940
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:51,280
do all that stuff on here.

941
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:55,160
And who turned up the air the turn off

942
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,160
the air in here?

943
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:02,079
Chadwick. Councilman Nielsen. I guess

944
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,480
I'll I'll kick this off. Um, you know,

945
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:05,920
every year like we we get a little

946
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,320
faster, we get a little more accurate,

947
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:11,359
we get a little better at at this

948
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:13,359
process, I think. And and um you know, I

949
00:38:11,359 --> 00:38:16,480
do appreciate that you uh went through

950
00:38:13,359 --> 00:38:19,040
this in in about 40 minutes uh instead

951
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:21,040
of two hours. Um I even missed the first

952
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:25,280
little bit because I didn't want to sit

953
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:28,400
through that much. No, I'm joking. Um

954
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:32,320
but really look, we've we've had several

955
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:34,640
uh workshops and a number of um chances

956
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,720
for us to to talk about some of these

957
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,960
things to work with city staff and

958
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:41,520
understand what their needs are within

959
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:43,280
their each department and and to be able

960
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,280
to look at the revenue and and expenses

961
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:48,320
that are coming in and really make some

962
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:50,480
um I think some good choices and and

963
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,320
provide some guidance uh to you as you

964
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:55,520
put this together. And so I I feel like

965
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:57,200
our process has been thorough and um and

966
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,040
well thought out. You know, one of the

967
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,520
things that that we really put a lot of

968
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:05,119
thought into and deliberated quite a bit

969
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:06,960
as a council um is our investment, our

970
00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:11,040
continued investment and growth in our

971
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:12,880
in our police uh and um staffing and

972
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,720
equipment and and things like that. And

973
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,680
you see a number of those things

974
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:20,960
reflected in our budget here. We we

975
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:23,920
target that uh you know our

976
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:26,640
comprehensive plan calls out

977
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:29,680
um a target of one officer per thousand

978
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,920
people in STAR and and you saw in the

979
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:35,200
presentation today the recommendation of

980
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,960
adding five officers uh in some capacity

981
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:40,320
uh to our police force here. That that

982
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:42,880
takes us just barely over that 1%

983
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,720
um or that that one per 10,000, excuse

984
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:48,160
me. It's on a percentage, but that one

985
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:50,720
one officer per 10,000 just barely over

986
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:53,520
uh that ratio. And so it keeps us right

987
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:55,839
in the in the sweet spot in that zone

988
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:59,680
that we're looking for that our chief

989
00:39:55,839 --> 00:40:01,359
has asked for. And um and I I think our

990
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,920
force is doing a really good job with

991
00:40:01,359 --> 00:40:07,839
that. Nationally, that ratio is more

992
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:10,240
like three per thousand. Um, and so I I

993
00:40:07,839 --> 00:40:11,599
think we very fortunate for the

994
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:14,160
community that we live in and for the

995
00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:16,960
job that our police officers do. So just

996
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,400
some thoughts and that I wanted to share

997
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,119
based on the process that we went

998
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:23,359
through and and where I'm I'm supportive

999
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:26,320
of this budget um as is presented here

1000
00:40:23,359 --> 00:40:28,640
today. Okay.

1001
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,359
Any other comments?

1002
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,760
» Mayor Chadwick.

1003
00:40:29,359 --> 00:40:35,680
» Councilman, your light is green.

1004
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:38,160
» Uh, all right. Uh

1005
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:41,839
so, uh continuing along on that same

1006
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:44,400
thought with the police, um I do want to

1007
00:40:41,839 --> 00:40:47,440
just remind I try to do every chance I

1008
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:51,119
get out in the public too is you know um

1009
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:54,079
a lot of times the people think the that

1010
00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:58,160
your property taxes are funding our

1011
00:40:54,079 --> 00:41:01,920
entire budget. And again, it is only

1012
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:05,440
funding um you know 100% of your

1013
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:10,240
property taxes go towards the police and

1014
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:14,240
of that uh what is it of we still are

1015
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:17,200
short over 50%. And so we have to find

1016
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:20,000
revenue from other sources in addition

1017
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,880
to your property tax to cover our

1018
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:26,640
amazing police force that we have here

1019
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:29,119
to keep everyone safe. And so, um, you

1020
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:34,400
know, I just want to, you know, make

1021
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:37,680
that statement. Um, and, you know, we've

1022
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:40,319
been in a number of, uh, workshops and,

1023
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:43,680
um, excited, you know, I'm comfortable

1024
00:41:40,319 --> 00:41:46,560
with this, uh, budget,

1025
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:48,319
um, and excited to see what we do this

1026
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,920
year.

1027
00:41:48,319 --> 00:41:54,319
» Okay. Councilman Welock.

1028
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:56,000
» Yeah. Yeah. I'm you know you we've

1029
00:41:54,319 --> 00:41:57,760
talked about all the numbers back and

1030
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:01,839
forth

1031
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:05,599
and as you auctioned through the uh

1032
00:42:01,839 --> 00:42:10,000
presentation which I appreciate

1033
00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:14,560
that you went from uh the historic tax

1034
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:18,560
levy rate of 100,000 per taxable value

1035
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:21,280
in 2015 was $219

1036
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:26,040
per 100,000.

1037
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:26,040
That was 11 years ago was 219.

1038
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:33,760
Five years ago

1039
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:37,440
or in 2020 it was 124. Half that.

1040
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:41,680
And we're again half that once more

1041
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:44,400
in 2026 at $4910

1042
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:46,319
per $100,000.

1043
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,800
I don't think people appreciate that

1044
00:42:46,319 --> 00:42:51,920
their taxes are going down while our

1045
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,599
budgets are going up. They don't get the

1046
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:58,280
connection

1047
00:42:53,599 --> 00:42:58,280
that more people are paying for

1048
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:05,040
the a service that is getting

1049
00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:09,440
that is making our uh tax base stay

1050
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:11,359
stable while still going down

1051
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,680
because they get the they get here in

1052
00:43:11,359 --> 00:43:17,280
whatever year they came

1053
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:20,000
and they don't recognize that 11 years

1054
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:22,319
ago it was four times that much perund

1055
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,319
00,000

1056
00:43:22,319 --> 00:43:25,920
and and I don't know how to get that

1057
00:43:24,319 --> 00:43:28,319
across to people that you talk to

1058
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:31,200
everywhere you go.

1059
00:43:28,319 --> 00:43:33,680
The amount of money we're doing now in

1060
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:36,160
property taxes, we're being as

1061
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:39,440
responsible with as we can while

1062
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:43,040
providing a city that still is very

1063
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:47,920
attractive to move into and safe because

1064
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:51,280
of our our police presence. I think

1065
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:54,319
we've done a good job of trying to boy

1066
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:56,960
up the the fire

1067
00:43:54,319 --> 00:43:58,960
fire safety in our community as struggle

1068
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:03,599
as that's been

1069
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:06,480
and uh I'm comfortable with with the way

1070
00:44:03,599 --> 00:44:07,839
things are happening and being allocated

1071
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:12,560
tonight.

1072
00:44:07,839 --> 00:44:13,920
» Okay. Thank you, Councilman Day.

1073
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:17,280
Mayor Chadwick.

1074
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:19,280
» Councilman Day. I'll um

1075
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:23,319
yeah, so I kind of echo what what uh

1076
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,319
Councilman Wheelock just said.

1077
00:44:23,599 --> 00:44:32,000
I always tell people that uh my taxes

1078
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:35,280
today are cheaper than they were back in

1079
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:38,400
2015, 2016 here.

1080
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:41,119
Um so

1081
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:45,960
you can't complain about that.

1082
00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:45,960
And then as far as um

1083
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:53,359
our police budget, you know, I think uh

1084
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:56,240
you know, we we really you know, we

1085
00:44:53,359 --> 00:45:00,560
talked about it a lot as a council um

1086
00:44:56,240 --> 00:45:03,359
discussed it and and uh our police

1087
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:06,079
are a priority, you know, as they should

1088
00:45:03,359 --> 00:45:09,359
be. Um,

1089
00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:12,079
so I'm very I'm very pleased with the

1090
00:45:09,359 --> 00:45:13,440
budget. Um,

1091
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:17,440
and the direction that we're heading as

1092
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:20,640
a city. Um, our our our

1093
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:22,880
financial position is

1094
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:26,720
amazing

1095
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:30,240
compared to others. So, I think we've

1096
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:33,359
done a really good job. Uh,

1097
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:34,480
I attribute that to you, Mayor Chadwick,

1098
00:45:33,359 --> 00:45:38,760
as well.

1099
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,760
for for being uh

1100
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:45,680
for being so involved

1101
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:47,760
uh you know being so involved in in the

1102
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:51,280
city. You know, I've never seen a mayor

1103
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:54,480
that has been this involved and and out

1104
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,680
front and uh leading by example. So,

1105
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,680
thank you.

1106
00:45:55,680 --> 00:46:00,079
» Thank you,

1107
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,440
» Mayor Chadwick. Council Nielson, I'll

1108
00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:04,240
just follow on with a couple of thoughts

1109
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,839
and then a motion. Um, and I I

1110
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:07,920
appreciate Councilman Welock calling

1111
00:46:05,839 --> 00:46:11,200
out, you know, some of that uh some of

1112
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:13,200
those ideas about property taxes. I I

1113
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:16,400
see three three things that really drive

1114
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:19,040
that levy rate down. Um, number one, the

1115
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:21,359
value of each each of our homes goes up.

1116
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:24,000
So, the city isn't necessarily

1117
00:46:21,359 --> 00:46:25,760
collecting that much less revenue. Um,

1118
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,760
as much as I'd like to look at that

1119
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,240
number and say, "Hey, we're doing more,

1120
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,240
you know, better with your money." Um,

1121
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:34,240
it's not really the whole picture. um

1122
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:36,560
because inflation drives some of that

1123
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:38,480
and then just the fact that growth

1124
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:41,040
occurs, right? That it's being spread

1125
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:43,040
around and and this is the thing that

1126
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,200
that I think Councilman Wheelock was

1127
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,560
calling out very a accurately that

1128
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:50,319
people just don't understand there

1129
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:52,079
there's this idea in our community that

1130
00:46:50,319 --> 00:46:54,240
because of the growth, the city should

1131
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:56,880
be getting a whole bunch more more

1132
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:59,119
revenue coming in and it's actually the

1133
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:02,160
opposite. the city gets the same amount

1134
00:46:59,119 --> 00:47:05,040
of revenue that comes in

1135
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,800
and it just lowers everybody else's

1136
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,200
bill. So the more growth we have, the

1137
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:11,200
lower the property tax bill goes. And

1138
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,680
then the third reason is because the

1139
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:16,400
Idaho legislature actually did lower the

1140
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:19,440
amount of the levy rate that the cities

1141
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,920
can uh increase

1142
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:24,640
restrictively so to the point that

1143
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:28,000
growth no longer pays for itself in the

1144
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:30,000
state of Idaho. your legislature has

1145
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,880
shot itself in the foot and shot all of

1146
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:36,319
the cities in the foot and then has kept

1147
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:39,440
a knife at the back. And you know, I'm

1148
00:47:36,319 --> 00:47:41,040
using that language very um deliberately

1149
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:44,560
because

1150
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:47,520
we can't fund the basic things that

1151
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:50,319
cities are supposed to fund with the

1152
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:52,880
amount of of tax revenue that that by

1153
00:47:50,319 --> 00:47:54,720
law we're allowed to bring in. Um that's

1154
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,560
current. Mayor Chadwick is doing a lot

1155
00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:58,000
of great work with our uh state

1156
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:00,880
legislature and a lot of other people

1157
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:03,599
are too um to help to uh overcome that

1158
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:05,440
challenge, but it's the reason that we

1159
00:48:03,599 --> 00:48:08,160
don't have our police officers fully

1160
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:10,960
funded um that we have to find other

1161
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:13,280
revenues. And when you look at the the

1162
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,359
purpose of government first and foremost

1163
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:18,560
is protection of a citizens life,

1164
00:48:15,359 --> 00:48:20,480
liberty, and property, right? Um and so

1165
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,680
that that is pretty much one of our

1166
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,359
number one things. So those those are

1167
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,359
the three three reasons that that levy

1168
00:48:23,359 --> 00:48:27,680
rate continues to go down. Two of them

1169
00:48:25,359 --> 00:48:30,079
just kind of happen. Uh the other one

1170
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,599
happened to us, but I don't think that

1171
00:48:30,079 --> 00:48:34,480
that should take away from the fact that

1172
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:37,200
Mayor Chowwick knows and and our council

1173
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:38,800
president, uh Councilwoman Salmanson,

1174
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,480
they know where every penny goes, as

1175
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:43,440
well as our city staff who's spending

1176
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:45,440
it. And there is a a real tight focus on

1177
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:48,079
on that, which I'm I'm really pleased

1178
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:50,079
about. I I do think that that we do a

1179
00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:54,240
good job with the money that we have.

1180
00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:57,359
Um, so having said that, um, I am going

1181
00:48:54,240 --> 00:49:01,280
to to move that we approve the fiscal

1182
00:48:57,359 --> 00:49:03,119
year 2027 budget as presented.

1183
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,400
» Okay, we have a motion. Do we have a

1184
00:49:03,119 --> 00:49:05,440
second?

1185
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,200
» Second.

1186
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,440
» We have a motion by Councilman Nielsson

1187
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:11,680
and a second by Councilwoman Smanson.

1188
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,760
Any further discussion?

1189
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,119
Hearing none. Roll call.

1190
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,640
» Day. I,

1191
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:18,240
» We lock.

1192
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:21,359
» Salmanson. Hi.

1193
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:25,040
» Neielen. Hi. All right. Uh, can you pull

1194
00:49:21,359 --> 00:49:29,720
up the agenda again for me, please, and

1195
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:29,720
go to the resolution on 7A?

1196
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:34,800
Right, that motion carries. That budget

1197
00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:38,800
has been approved. We have to do two

1198
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:40,880
more things as action items. Um we since

1199
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:44,480
we are taking foregon we are required by

1200
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:47,119
state statute to create a resolution to

1201
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:50,160
uh declare our intent to recover the 1%

1202
00:49:47,119 --> 00:49:52,640
foregone as we stated in our budget. And

1203
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:54,559
so we need a motion to approve this

1204
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,359
resolution.

1205
00:49:54,559 --> 00:49:56,559
» Mayor Chadwick.

1206
00:49:55,359 --> 00:49:58,800
» Councilwoman Sonson.

1207
00:49:56,559 --> 00:50:00,960
» I'll move to approve resolution number

1208
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,119
2026-04.

1209
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,359
Resolution of the city of Star, Idaho,

1210
00:50:03,119 --> 00:50:08,319
declaring the intent to recover 1% of

1211
00:50:05,359 --> 00:50:12,079
the city's foregone property tax balance

1212
00:50:08,319 --> 00:50:14,960
in the amount of $23,740

1213
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:17,440
for fiscal year 2027 for the purpose of

1214
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:19,040
general maintenance and operations.

1215
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,200
» Okay, we have a motion. Do we have a

1216
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,240
second?

1217
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,760
» I'll second.

1218
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:25,839
» We have a motion by Councilwoman

1219
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,000
Solomon, a second by Councilman Nielsen.

1220
00:50:25,839 --> 00:50:31,040
Any further discussion?

1221
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,520
that just as a note,

1222
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,720
1% is all we can collect

1223
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:38,480
» Right out of that for gone.

1224
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:41,200
» It It sounds like uh

1225
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:45,119
you know, we're only doing that because

1226
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:47,520
we only want to take 23,000 back.

1227
00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:51,359
It's [snorts] because we're only allowed

1228
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:53,200
to take 21 or 23,000 back,

1229
00:50:51,359 --> 00:50:54,960
» Which is painful because honestly, you

1230
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:57,359
have $600,000 there that could come in

1231
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:59,680
there and help pay for your police. So,

1232
00:50:57,359 --> 00:51:02,319
we are only allowed by state statute and

1233
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:05,200
the same bill that council Nelson was

1234
00:51:02,319 --> 00:51:05,680
talking about to claw back 1% at a time

1235
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,520
per year.

1236
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:10,160
» That that goes back to that exact

1237
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:12,800
statement that Council Nielson made is

1238
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:15,760
is they're literally just holding back

1239
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:18,960
what what is our opportunity to have

1240
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:22,000
saved some money for our citizens that

1241
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,960
now they've handcuffed us and we need.

1242
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,440
» Yep.

1243
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,280
» So,

1244
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:28,240
» Very much so. I just wanted to make that

1245
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:30,079
a a statement. Okay. Any further

1246
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:31,839
discussion?

1247
00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:32,559
Hearing none. Roll call.

1248
00:51:31,839 --> 00:51:33,119
» Day.

1249
00:51:32,559 --> 00:51:33,920
» I.

1250
00:51:33,119 --> 00:51:34,400
» We lock.

1251
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,200
» I.

1252
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,400
