Is there any discussion? 28 00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:40,560 All those in favor say I. >> Anyone opposed? 29 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,400 » That motion carries. Number seven, discussion and possible action on 30 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:49,519 resolution 2026-03 regarding a 2025 budget finalization 31 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:59,400 amendment. >> The preliminary 2025 financial analysis 32 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,400 is projecting residual funds of $219,379 33 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:06,319 that are remaining in the budget for 2025. 34 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:12,080 This resolution is a final amendment to the 2025 budget and allocates the 35 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:17,920 residual funds as well as adjustments that need to be made to the budget. 36 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:24,239 This has to be adopted prior to the 2025 audit that'll begin on March 16th. 37 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:28,440 Um, city staff is recommending the residual funds of $219,379 38 00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:37,840 be allocated in two ways. The first is 39 00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:43,599 $63,293 towards the 2026 40 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:50,640 sick and medical leave bank payouts for retirements and terminations that are in 41 00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:55,519 good standing upon termination. Um, these should have been put into the 2026 42 00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:01,840 budget and were missed when we were preparing the budget. Um, so they'd make 43 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:06,720 a good offset so that the 2026 budget doesn't take that hit. These are the 44 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,879 ones that we are aware of that are happening in 2026. 45 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,840 And then the second piece, the remainder of the balance, $156,86. 46 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:23,120 We're recommending that they go to capital contribution for future 47 00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:27,919 expenses. This will reduce the amount of future borrowings that we may have to 48 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:33,440 take on within the next year. If the council chooses to tonight, they 49 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:40,479 can alter these allocations and further define any of these funds from 2025 for 50 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:45,360 other uses. The resolution 202603 may be amended this evening to reflect those 51 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:50,000 allocations. In addition to allocating the residual funds, staff is also 52 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:57,199 requesting a budget amendment to align actual revenues and expenses incurred in 53 00:04:52,880 --> 00:05:01,680 2025 to what was originally budgeted. The use of the 2025 residual funds will 54 00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:05,440 be utilized to offset future expenditures, 55 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:10,160 reducing future obligations in future budgeting cycles. The budget amendment 56 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,199 to align actual revenues and expenditures that occurred in 2025 has 57 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:20,320 no fiscal impact. Um staff's recommending that council 58 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:26,240 approve this resolution as prepared or amend it tonight um 59 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,600 so that it can get approved in time for the audit starting on the 16th. 60 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:42,240 » Thank you.

Uh, gathering place 72 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:32,720 didn't ask for additional funds beyond which was budgeted.

Probably hold over from 310 00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:19,559 college, but also it's a nice time when the kids are asleep that I can have a 311 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,559 little bit time to do other things. 312 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:25,240 » I'm a morning person because I really like watching the sunrises. 313 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:36,240 » I used to be a night owl and a really good night owl. Hated mornings. And then 314 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:41,200 about 10 years ago, I started getting up at 7 a.m. 315 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:44,240 just out of the blue.

Um although I can't ever but I 321 00:26:09,679 --> 00:26:18,799 now I have become a morning person. I don't love it but I am 322 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,360 » morning person through and through. Uh there's something about like the 323 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:26,360 calmness of the morning and getting up before everyone else. You can get a lot 324 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:26,360 done. 325 00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:35,039 » I think I'm much like Paul. It seems like as I get older, the more of a 326 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:40,080 morning person I am. And for some reason as I get older the if I actually do 327 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:42,960 sleep in I just feel out of sync the rest of the day. So it just it's just 328 00:26:41,919 --> 00:26:47,360 weird. >> I'm gonna kind of but Molly a little bit 329 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,320 in the sense that the reason I also like being at night owl is because that's 330 00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:54,919 calmst because all the morning people are already you know asleep. So 331 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,520 » can I change my answer actually? >> No. 332 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,240 » No. It's like a public hearing.

I'm 338 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:41,799 I would say I'm neither, but if I had to lean towards one, it would probably be 339 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:53,279 » I would probably lean towards a night owl just for the decompression time 340 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:57,840 after the day. I enjoy getting when I get to sleep in, get up, drink coffee, 341 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:05,480 and relax, but I do not enjoy that Monday through Friday getting up and 342 00:28:00,159 --> 00:28:05,480 most weekends, too. So, I I'm neither. 343 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:14,880 » Probably a night owl. >> Oh, and why? Two-part question. 344 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:23,520 » I don't know. I just >> just him. Yeah. Uh, I mean, I don't 345 00:28:20,159 --> 00:28:27,679 really get up in the morning. I mean, my kids are usually up super 346 00:28:25,919 --> 00:28:32,320 early, so I'm up in the morning anyway. So, if I could have the choice, I'd like 347 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:36,679 to sleep in a little bit past, you know, 6 maybe once in a while. But, 348 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:49,679 well, morning by necessity because I need to get up and get to work. And uh 349 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:53,760 as noted, as you get older, past 10:30, um you'll probably find me asleep in the 350 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:58,480 chair. So, you know, it's just necessity. 351 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:02,399 I'm a morning person. Like Ken said, I think the military set me off that that 352 00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:05,520 straight. And I think and I'm talking like four and I'll just wake up without 353 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:09,360 an alarm clock at 4 a.m. and I'm ready to go. Like getting into work early 354 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:14,000 because you get that much more done before everybody else comes in. But that 355 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:20,399 means on the flip side like 8:30 I start falling asleep like an old person does 356 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:25,960 in the chair. It's not good. So >> you're old like an old person. 357 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,960 » I am an old person. 358 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:05,200 All right. Thank you. Thank you everybody for playing along. So, uh 16. 359 00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:08,559 Our next meeting date is supposed to be March 17th. We do have a couple 360 00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:12,399 conflicts. Mainly, it's Molly's birthday. 361 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:18,240 » So, >> something something 362 00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:22,080 about green beer. No, joking. Nothing about Green Bear. I'm going to be out of 363 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:26,320 town. So, I'm asking council if you would uh entertain moving us to 364 00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:29,200 Wednesday. If that's a conflict for you, Ryan, 365 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,640 maybe you'd have to make a change of something if you want a quick look. Um, 366 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:37,520 if you'd entertain Wednesday, we could do something like Zoom on Tuesday, but 367 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:42,240 that doesn't help Molly. But this isn't about her. This is just uh me being 368 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:47,159 present or Charlotte takes the meeting. Nope, that's not an option. So, we're 369 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,159 going to do 370 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,840 we can move to Wednesday. >> Like that here. 371 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,520 » Okay. >> Historic preservation scheduled from uh 372 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:59,520 Wednesday at the moment. And then I also usually have plans other things I'm 373 00:30:57,679 --> 00:31:06,480 involved in on Wednesdays as well. So Wednesday's kind of not a great day. 374 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:08,559 » Commission too. And 375 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:12,000 » at this point we don't have any items for plan. 376 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,000 » Do we have anything for council? >> Yes. 377 00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:20,880 So, we could do virtual because it's the residential exterior improvement stuff. 378 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:27,320 Maybe >> that that and uh a couple other items 379 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,320 that we do have already 380 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,480 » Thursday. >> We could 381 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,320 up to you folks. >> I prefer inerson meetings. I think 382 00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:43,120 they're just easier. Sorry. I know that's not or that's not the norm, but 383 00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:47,000 » we do it Monday. I am on Monday. 384 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,480 » Thursday. 385 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,799 » Thursday's book, too. 386 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,799 » Is there anything wrong with historical preservation? 387 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,320 There is one item at this time. 388 00:32:22,399 --> 00:32:29,559 » We could either move it or we it is starting at 5:30. So it would be a half 389 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,559 an hour meeting. 390 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:39,919 » Okay. Thank you. It will take a >> Wednesday at 6 p.m. It'll take a motion 391 00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:45,279 and second. I move that we move the common council meeting from March the 392 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:48,720 17th to March the 18th at 6 p.m. >> Second. 393 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,840 » We have a motion in a second. Any further discussion? All those in favor 394 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,399 say I. >> I. 395 00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:59,679 » Opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. Our new date 396 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:03,519 is now on the 18th. Uh 17.
