[6:46] » I.

[6:48] Okay, I'm going to lead off with this
one.
[6:51] Conversation what I had yesterday.
Um
[6:57] the uh
right now where we're at is um
[7:02] our 25 and our 26 budgets weren't
correct.
[7:07] It appears our count the county isn't
been in deficit deficit spending for
[7:10] last 2 years.
We have to go back and
[7:15] with the work from the DACO Don
uh
[7:20] uh the audit rep and Carmen, they spent
a lot of time on and we have a
[7:26] comfortable spot is what I've been told
as far as it start for 20 uh
[7:32] 20
12 31 25.
[7:36] At with that being said, then we'll have
a we're going to work forward in 26.
[7:42] And I think so we have you know, we're
not going to be working on 27 until we
[7:46] get the confirmed numbers on 26 yet.
Um the word I got was
[7:54] it um
[7:58] probably at first glance was not as bad
as projected, but
[8:03] not as good as we had hoped it to be.
That's what I what the word I got. So,
[8:08] I'm going to ask each one of the
department heads to go back
[8:12] being in 27 or 25 and 26,
you know, we can't just rely on you
[8:19] know, what we put our budget together.
We have to go back
[8:22] and look and see what we can cut and
where we can trim and report to your
[8:25] portfolio holders.
And um
[8:29] we can you know, once we get this 26 and
when we get done then we can work on the
[8:33] 27.
And we
[8:37] we have no numbers to present yet today
cuz we're still in Carmen needs time to
[8:41] get this thing together and we uh we're
not there.
[8:46] And if anybody else has anything to
that.
[8:49] » I would like Carmen I guess moving
forward when you send out month end
[8:53] numbers to the department heads, I think
the board should be almost the first
[8:57] ones to have that cuz we do not get that
from you. So, moving forward
[9:01] » Okay.
>> I would I don't I don't necessarily care
[9:03] what my budget number is, what Rick's
budget number is, whatever, but our
[9:07] departments we should be getting those
because there's no way we know if our
[9:13] departments are deficit spending if we
don't get the numbers from you.
[9:16] » Okay, so the portfolio holders will get
it with the department heads.
[9:21] You are do you want the whole commission
to get
[9:23] » I think the whole commission should have
everybody's budget, but
[9:28] » I think that's what we did it when I
when we were first on the board.
[9:31] » The previous auditor we would get them
from. It has not been happening, so.
[9:36] » Okay. okay.
[9:41] » So, the bottom line is
we don't know exactly where we're at
[9:44] yet, but we're going to keep working
until we get there and we'll get the
[9:48] um
>> Carmen, when do you think you can get
[9:52] your stuff semi straightened out from
what your meeting with Linda yesterday?
[9:58] Like by next Wednesday, can we discuss
this more?
[10:00] » Absolutely.
>> I We don't really get a choice. I mean,
[10:02] we have a deadline.
>> Yeah, and and I'm telling you as soon as
[10:06] we get them done and have them checked
and
[10:08] and Linda's going to recheck it, too,
and help us, but yeah, once I do, I want
[10:13] to send everything out to you guys if
it's before Wednesday.
[10:16] » Yeah, then we can look at it.
>> Please do cuz we I mean
[10:20] we're running out of days.
>> We're on crunch time.
[10:22] » Yeah, it's You know, and I did ask, you
know, with my conversations with Jamie
[10:27] you know, with the road department, we
have some ideas and all we can make some
[10:30] of that work, but it was like with the
general fund
[10:33] I wasn't so sure, so I asked
Linda on how we can fix some of that if
[10:38] she'd be willing to help on some of
that, and she said absolutely they would
[10:42] be able to help us with ideas to get
some of that back on track, so.
[10:46] That's all I've got for today.
Anybody else?
[10:50] Okay.
Any other business, and meeting
[10:52] adjourned.
[11:09] » Good.
