[4:51] there we've got to thank mayor.

[4:56] Yes, we're gonna do a

[4:57] presentation and our just

[4:57] before we begin that just make

[5:00] a quick little state and here

[5:00] are where we are with the

[5:07] budget process.

[5:08] I saw since a JULY 28th

[5:09] Commission meeting. Our goal

[5:11] has been very simple reduce the

[5:12] fiscal impact on the residents

[5:13] while maintaining the services.

[5:18] Our community depends on

[5:19] protecting the city's long-term

[5:20] financial stability, if you all

[5:25] recall it at that time I want

[5:25] to commission adopted the 8.4

[5:26] Mills. We said that we want to

[5:30] work to reduce it and we

[5:31] reduced it and we're presenting

[5:32] the budget at first hearing of

[5:36] 7.6 5 Mills.

[5:37] And so I'm getting from a 0.4

[5:38] Mills to 7.6 Mills. Record

[5:43] required a great deal of work

[5:43] and effort. Since JULY we held

[5:48] 2 town

[5:49] hall meetings where we shared

[5:50] information answer questions

[5:53] listen to concerns receive

[5:54] valuable input from the

[5:54] residents, some of those

[5:57] imports were incorporated and

[5:58] we continue to review those as

[5:58] we work to finalize the budget

[6:01] at the

[6:02] same time. The budget team

[6:02] which consisted of the finance

[6:07] director of the budget manager.

[6:07] The deputy city manager and

[6:08] myself went back through the

[6:12] House because it line by line.

[6:13] We reviewed staffing operating

[6:17] expenses capital projects and

[6:17] other expenditures. We look to

[6:18] what could be reduced delayed

[6:19] adjusted

[6:19] or extended. We're continuing

[6:20] to provide the services our

[6:26] residents have grown accustomed

[6:26] to rely on. As a result we

[6:27] identified more than 2.3

[6:31] million dollars

[6:32] in cuts reductions adjustments

[6:32] and project extensions that a

[6:39] lot of us to recommend today

[6:40] the 7.6 5 Mills utilizing

[6:40] $272,000 in reserves to balance

[6:44] the budget.

[6:45] This is significant progress in

[6:46] our flex several weeks of

[6:48] detailed review. And some

[6:49] difficult decisions that had to

[6:51] be made Iraq about the budget.

[6:52] But the millage rate is only

[6:53] part of the overall budget

[6:58] tonight, the commission will

[6:59] also consider the city's for

[6:59] assessments. Fire storm water

[7:04] solid waste and water control.

[7:04] These assessments find specific

[7:05] services provided to our

[7:06] residents

[7:07] and properties and just as we

[7:08] did with the millage we have

[7:11] carefully reviewed the costs

[7:12] associated with those services.

[7:12] At the same time the cost of

[7:15] providing these services

[7:20] continue to rise.

[7:20] Our fire assessment help

[7:21] support the costs of providing

[7:24] fire rescue services, including

[7:25] personnel emergency equipment

[7:25] and fire up around us

[7:28] protective equipment and the

[7:28] everyday costs of operating our

[7:29] fire stations. Our solid waste

[7:34] assessment reflects the cost

[7:35] of collecting and disposing of

[7:35] the garbage involved throughout

[7:41] the city including our

[7:42] contracts with waste Management

[7:42] as well as the disposal sites,

[7:46] fuel labor and equipment costs.

[7:46] Our storm water and water

[7:47] control assessments support the

[7:48] drainage water management

[7:49] systems to protect our

[7:50] neighborhoods and properties

[7:54] from flooding. These include

[7:54] maintaining our canals our

[7:55] Canal banks are drainage

[8:00] systems are catch basins and

[8:01] other infrastructure as well as

[8:01] drainage and flood control

[8:04] improvements. As our

[8:07] infrastructure ages.

[8:07] We experience that means

[8:08] experience heavier rainfall

[8:13] events maintaining and

[8:14] improving these systems becomes

[8:15] increasingly important and

[8:17] increasingly costly.

[8:18] These are not simply numbers

[8:21] that appear on the

[8:21] tax bill. They represent

[8:22] services our residents depend

[8:26] on every day whether fire unit

[8:27] responding to an emergency call

[8:27] garbage is being collected

[8:32] drainage systems be maintained.

[8:32] Now is being managed Canal

[8:33] banks being restate allies and

[8:36] investments being made to

[8:36] reduce flooding throughout our

[8:40] neighborhoods.

[8:41] This is a balance that we're

[8:41] trying to achieve with this

[8:43] project we

[8:44] must consider what it cost to

[8:45] provide the services what can

[8:49] reasonably be supportive for

[8:50] the general fund reserves.

[8:50] What our residents can

[8:54] reasonably afford.

[8:55] Reducing the proposed millage

[8:55] rate does not mean our physical

[8:58] challenges

[8:59] of disappear. The cost of

[8:59] public safety insurance

[9:03] employee benefits utilities.

[9:04] And other central services

[9:05] continue to increase at the

[9:09] same time. We have major

[9:10] infrastructure responsibilities

[9:11] ahead of us. One of the largest

[9:15] is our water treatment plant.

[9:16] We're facing an investment of

[9:17] more than 100 million dollars

[9:19] to meet new federal water

[9:20] quality requirements. Well, the

[9:21] federal government has provided

[9:24] no dollars to support

[9:24] those projects. We also have

[9:25] major drainage and flood

[9:30] control projects underway or

[9:31] planned, including Muncy 14

[9:32] pump station commerce Shiner

[9:34] Boulevard drainage and

[9:35] paving improvements and several

[9:36] acknowledged drainage pavement

[9:37] and beautification

[9:38] improvements. These 3 projects

[9:39] along require approximately

[9:41] 16 million dollars in city

[9:47] matching funds.

[9:48] To match the over 60 million

[9:49] dollars in grants we received

[9:50] at the same time. We stopped

[9:51] them and then our roads parks

[9:52] building's utilities, public

[9:55] safety systems and all the

[9:56] everyday services are all

[10:01] residents expect.

[10:02] So we have to balance what our

[10:02] residents can afford today with

[10:05] making sure the city is

[10:06] financially prepared for the

[10:06] responsibilities, we know are

[10:08] coming to mark.

[10:09] I recognize that every dollar

[10:10] matters to our residents.

[10:15] That's why the recommendation

[10:16] before the commission to 97.6 5

[10:22] Mills and set of 8.4 miles.

[10:22] There's a fiscal impact every

[10:23] decision. Tiffany says Sussman

[10:25] is reduced that revenue must be

[10:26] addressed somewhere else in the

[10:27] budget that could mean

[10:32] additional spending reductions

[10:33] greater use of reserves,

[10:34] delaying projects or die or are

[10:37] identifying other funding other

[10:38] funding, resources or

[10:38] reductions. I also want to

[10:40] thank the residents who

[10:41] participated in our 2 budget

[10:41] town hall meetings. Whether you

[10:46] agreed with everything we

[10:46] presented or not your

[10:49] participation was important

[10:50] us questions raise concerns and

[10:51] offered suggestions and we

[10:54] listen.

[10:54] There are so different and

[10:55] difficult decisions from the

[10:58] mayor and commission to make

[10:59] tonight report regarding both

[11:00] the millage rate and the 4

[11:03] sites months. We also recognize

[11:03] the proposed changes to

[11:04] Florida's property tax system

[11:07] could be before a vote will be

[11:08] before voters in the NOVEMBER

[11:11] election.

[11:12] If approved those changes could

[11:12] have a significant impact on

[11:18] future municipal property tax

[11:19] revenues and in North

[11:20] Lauderdale that number is about

[11:20] 7 million dollars in lost

[11:21] revenue as outlined by the

[11:21] Broward County property

[11:24] appraiser few weeks ago when he

[11:25] presented in Newark water out

[11:26] the city must therefore

[11:31] continue evaluating its

[11:32] long-term financial plan.

[11:33] And the potential effects of

[11:35] those changes on

[11:36] future projects. Ultimately our

[11:37] responsibilities to maintain

[11:39] the city's fiscal

[11:40] responsibility protective

[11:40] entrails central services.

[11:45] Properly fund the services our

[11:46] residents depend upon prepare

[11:47] for major infrastructure needs

[11:47] and at the

[11:48] same time do everything

[11:48] possible to reduce the

[11:53] financial impact on our

[11:54] residents. This is what this

[11:55] budget is about finding the

[11:57] right balance not only this

[11:58] year. But in the future years

[12:00] ahead.

[12:01] That has been our focus

[12:02] throughout this process and

[12:08] will continue to be our focus

[12:08] as we work with the mayor and

[12:09] commission towards adoption of

[12:11] the final fiscal year 27 budget

[12:12] on Monday SEPTEMBER 28 thank

[12:17] you MISTER Mayor

[12:18] with that. Budget manager MISS

[12:18] Stewart will walk you through

[12:24] that present a presentation.

[13:13] >> And

[13:17] afternoon everyone. Mayor vice

[13:17] mayor commissioners. City

[13:18] manager city attorney the city

[13:23] clerk.

[13:23] Our community that's

[13:24] participate in here today and

[13:27] also

[13:28] the staff. My name is Sharon

[13:31] Stewart and I am the

[13:31] budget manager and I will be

[13:32] going over the presentation

[13:34] here

[13:35] tonight regarding the proposed

[13:43] budget for 2027.

[13:44] So here's what the agenda look

[13:44] like the city manager's

[13:48] comments which was already made

[13:49] the proposed millage rate

[13:50] recommendation. A proposed

[13:55] assessment rate recommendation

[13:55] proposed citywide budget

[13:56] overview proposed general

[13:59] budget overview to general fund

[14:00] budget overview rather and the

[14:01] proposed city white capital

[14:03] improvement plan along with

[14:04] some you know important date

[14:05] and any questions and

[14:07] discussions at the end of the

[14:18] presentation.

[14:19] All right so regard and that

[14:20] cities prof the property

[14:28] taxable value between

[14:29] 2627. We had our taxable value

[14:29] was set at 2.8 billion dollars

[14:36] which is the adjustment our

[14:36] current property value equation

[14:39] of 2.8 million dollars plus we

[14:40] had additional. A new

[14:46] construction value of

[14:46] 1.6 o they all said with that

[14:47] it's a 142 million dollar

[14:49] increase or 5 current to 6% for

[14:55] the fiscal year 20 secs budget.

[15:00] This will represent our

[15:01] taxable value. So between 2017

[15:02] 2027 you can see the history

[15:10] there.

[15:10] All right so this chart

[15:11] basically in pharmacy of where

[15:15] we are with our

[15:15] new construction. Taxable value

[15:16] within the city of North

[15:21] Lauderdale so we could see that

[15:22] that number one we are number

[15:23] one where we have the lowest at

[15:25] one point almost 1.7 million

[15:25] dollars in new construction

[15:26] value. If you look at the other

[15:34] cities that I do have

[15:35] highlighted there are few.

[15:35] You can see like for example on

[15:39] sunrise has about 16

[15:39] 0.3 million and. Are which is

[15:42] number 23 has a bye t

[15:43] 3.7 million. Last city that's

[15:43] captured here in this

[15:46] illustration for a lot to do

[15:50] which is about

[15:51] one point a billion dollars in

[15:52] new construction value. So

[15:52] that's just comparing

[15:53] us to the other cities in

[15:54] Broward where garden are

[15:56] taxable increase and new

[16:02] construction.

[16:03] All right there property

[16:04] valuation that this is

[16:08] comparison to show you our

[16:08] valuation in regards to our

[16:09] millage rate still have

[16:12] highlighted there. And number

[16:13] 3 that says that we're that the

[16:14] 2 point-four. Billion and now

[16:19] our new proposed millage rate

[16:19] is at some 0.6 5 and a few of

[16:23] the other cities on

[16:24] for example, we kind of look

[16:29] the city of time rock which is

[16:30] number 7 there at some 0.2 4,

[16:30] 6, and their millage rate is at

[16:41] propose anyway to be 7 males.

[16:41] This chart illustrates the

[16:47] historical property

[16:47] millage rate. Between 2018

[16:48] 2026. We have not increased our

[16:56] millage rate. It remained the

[16:56] same flat at 7.4. So the last

[16:57] column in Greenwich is is

[17:03] pointing to it that's a

[17:03] proposed millage for 2027,

[17:13] which is at 7.6 5 a males.

[17:14] Okay the millage rate this is

[17:15] comparing 26 to 27 so be

[17:20] adopted millage rate for 26.

[17:25] It's 7 point for Mel. That

[17:26] 8.18 point. It was a 19 million

[17:26] dollars ad for our revenues

[17:33] which is property taxes we use

[17:33] them interchangeably here and

[17:34] for 2027 the proposed millage

[17:40] is

[17:40] 7.6 5. Where we generate if

[17:41] approved. A little over

[17:47] 20 million dollars so like

[17:48] almost 21 million dollars is

[17:48] 20.6 million dollars which will

[17:51] represent an increase of 1.7 or

[17:57] 8.8 2% over 2026.

[17:57] This chart represents just the

[18:04] historical

[18:05] millage values at Valero from

[18:06] fat, I have alarm revenues

[18:07] rather excuse me between 2019

[18:08] 2027, so this chart shows you

[18:09] the history of what we've

[18:11] collected with the ad revenues

[18:15] between those years.

[18:16] Our property tax dollars where

[18:17] does that go there's always

[18:22] that question is like you are

[18:22] for every tax dollar how much

[18:23] of it does the city received so

[18:26] right now it says that the

[18:31] school board is getting about

[18:32] $0.30. I'm not a lot to do here

[18:33] is get in sense of your dollar.

[18:37] The county

[18:38] gets 27. Broward hospital

[18:39] district get sick sense and

[18:43] there's an other. Category

[18:44] that's unfair that will get

[18:53] 0.3% 0.3 sense.

[18:54] Okay that no and pack right on

[18:55] the single-family home so

[18:59] according to the Broward County

[19:00] property or is property

[19:01] appraiser's office. The average

[19:03] assessed value of a single

[19:04] family home and North

[19:09] Lauderdale is about

[19:09] 220,853. And I'd like to say

[19:10] that that does not mean value

[19:14] that you look at on the open

[19:14] market for your property, this

[19:15] is what the property appraiser

[19:18] is assessed that property for

[19:22] for taxable value.

[19:23] So if your claim in Homestead

[19:24] you've got $50,000 off at

[19:32] taxable value bring that down

[19:32] 278 53. So at the 7.4 military

[19:33] which we have now the tax on

[19:39] that property at the

[19:39] 2 2853 would be a 1000 to 6431.

[19:42] But at what we're

[19:50] proposing today. At the 7.6

[19:50] 5 a males that property will

[19:51] $1307 and $0.3 and taxes

[19:57] property

[19:57] taxes only and that would make

[19:58] an annual difference to $42.71

[20:04] or

[20:05] 3.5 6 or a daily difference of

[20:06] $0.12 on that assessed value if

[20:11] e 7.6 5 is approved.

[20:12] In addition I have here with

[20:18] property and pack on

[20:18] a condominium. Where the

[20:19] property appraisers have that

[20:25] average assessed about a 169 to

[20:26] 65 with a homestead exemption

[20:27] to 50 that taxable value turns

[20:32] out to be 66 1009 6, 5, which

[20:33] at 7.4 mil that would property

[20:36] condominium unit would pay

[20:43] for 95 and $0.54

[20:43] property taxes or after 7.6 5%

[20:51] we were looking at 5.

[20:52] $112.28 or an annual difference

[20:52] of 16.74. Markley of a dollar

[21:00] and 40 or $0.5.

[21:01] These are recommended

[21:01] assessment The first column

[21:03] will show you

[21:03] the adopted and it goes down

[21:04] for the different categories

[21:07] that we're going to be all

[21:08] voting on today and the

[21:09] proposed and that the annual

[21:13] change the market changes in

[21:14] the daily change. So for the

[21:14] fire assessment, currently for

[21:22] the single-family home, it's

[21:23] to 78. The recommended or the

[21:24] for next fiscal year 6.15.

[21:29] Many more.

[21:30] >> I'd like to say that since

[21:31] we we read the ordinance that

[21:36] had to do specifically with the

[21:36] ad valorem. We have to stick to

[21:42] that won't

[21:43] win out. So then folks can go

[21:43] to a hearing on that issue then

[21:48] we move to the next ordinance

[21:48] and then you can speak to each

[21:49] one separately. If you are just

[21:51] like 20.

[22:03] Starting at 19.

[22:04] >> Okay so based on millage

[22:11] rate that is proposed at

[22:12] 7.6 5. The rollback rate which

[22:13] the rollback rate is 6.9 8, 8,

[22:16] 9, And what the rollback rate

[22:17] is it's the rate of mileage

[22:18] that look at to generate the

[22:22] same amount of taxes for this

[22:22] current fiscal year which is at

[22:23] 6.9 8, 9, so which generate the

[22:30] same amount of taxes as we

[22:31] currently have but for the

[22:32] 2026. Budget. Which will be an

[22:34] increase of 2.6

[22:42] 6, 1, 1, or a 9.4%

[22:43] increase over. Rollback rate so

[22:44] what we are proposing is a 7.6

[22:46] 5. The rollback of 6.9 8, 8, 9,

[22:47] And the percentage increases

[23:01] 9.4 6.

[23:12] I like the slides now.

[23:13] >> You know what I can do the

[23:13] Ari time you're good. Okay

[23:14] there

[23:18] you go.

[23:19] >> All right so this is

[23:19] citywide proposed budget

[23:24] summary it lists the funds that

[23:25] we budgeted for a man got

[23:26] fiscal year. So the first

[23:28] column is the fy 26 adopted.

[23:30] The second is the fy

[23:31] 27 per polls and then the

[23:31] changes in terms of fall a

[23:40] valued as well as the percent

[23:41] change is so the total budget

[23:42] adopted in 2026 is a

[23:47] 157 million 0, 8, 4, 0, 0, 4,

[23:48] This for the next for the next

[23:49] fiscal But we are proposing a

[23:52] budget of a

[23:53] 161 1 million 9 15 5.34 again.

[23:56] I I'm so done to look.

[23:56] >> Just go to the general fund

[24:01] we have a meeting.

[24:02] The writing is clearly that we

[24:03] are focused on the general fund

[24:05] ad valorem and only that ad

[24:09] valorem tax rate

[24:10] all right and the analysis over

[24:11] the rollback rate and the

[24:15] increase in the budget relating

[24:16] to that aligned in the next

[24:17] meeting with doing the budget

[24:19] ordinance then we can go into

[24:22] the budget summary.

[24:23] The remaining details I just

[24:23] want to say that because we

[24:31] need to have an opportunity for

[24:33] the public to address the

[24:33] commission on the one issue ad

[24:39] valorem tax now.

[24:40] >> So alright so the general

[24:45] fund budget which is what

[24:46] is Trident it's driven by the

[24:47] actual arm revenues, okay, so

[24:50] the general fund budget itself

[25:00] is for 2026 to 54 million 8 68

[25:01] 6 mind one for 2027. We are

[25:02] proposing 48 1 million 67 '09

[25:06] which is a decrease of

[25:07] 6 million 3 '07, 9.82 or 11.5%.

[25:08] Within that you'll be able to

[25:08] see what

[25:09] we have proposed for the

[25:10] different departments, some

[25:17] that are reflected there which

[25:18] you can see the city Commission

[25:18] the city manager human

[25:22] resources finance city attorney

[25:23] city clerk the Police

[25:23] Department community

[25:26] development

[25:27] code enforcement, public works

[25:31] parks and Recreation and

[25:31] non departmental so those are

[25:32] the funds are those are 2

[25:35] different departments that are

[25:38] through the actual

[25:39] arm revenues and again the

[25:39] proposed budget on that but

[25:46] this this will be the 7.6 5

[25:52] mileage is that 48 5.67 '09.

[25:53] In addition. I can show you

[25:57] where the breakdown is of

[25:57] the the millage rate want to

[25:58] show you the first line we'll

[26:04] show you where the

[26:04] taxes are. And the proposed

[26:05] budget for the 2027. Fiscal

[26:14] year.

[26:14] The general fund itself is

[26:15] broken down of different

[26:17] objects that we budget for

[26:20] which is

[26:21] personal services, operating

[26:21] expenses capital expenses

[26:25] grandson 8 and transfers and

[26:33] transfers out as well

[26:34] as contingency so that will

[26:34] show between the p e 26 adopted

[26:42] to 27. What the changes are in

[26:43] personal services, so for

[26:44] example personal services has a

[26:49] bunch Terry change a 775.

[26:49] 1007 11 the operating expense

[26:53] did decrease at 2.5

[26:53] 4, 9, 5, 4, 7, Our capital

[26:54] increase also had a huge

[26:59] decrease

[27:00] as well. You know won almost

[27:05] 2 million dollars ransom money.

[27:06] 9.46 and the transfer is

[27:07] undoubted teen think 50 want by

[27:11] one

[27:12] 0.6. The contingency itself

[27:12] remained flat at 8.50. So that

[27:15] is makeup of the budget by the

[27:31] object.

[27:32] All right so. This is just a

[27:32] little summary of how the

[27:36] budget is broken down again by

[27:37] what we have budgeted an

[28:20] expense on the line.

[28:21] >> I could just for the second

[28:22] month clear for the record

[28:22] could you know it's what I

[28:24] commissioner can.

[28:25] >> Commissioner Martin arrived

[28:33] at 05:29pm.

[28:34] >> All right this chart

[28:34] represents the fund balance

[28:37] usage in the general

[28:38] fund itself. The is the

[28:42] budgeted expenses, you know

[28:43] between 29 1920 27 us to pick

[28:47] that there was a stat for

[28:48] lost revenues the non ad

[28:48] valorem revenues and the fund

[28:54] balance you said so if we pivot

[28:55] to the last com 2027 again the

[28:55] budgeted expenses he's 48 5.67

[29:01] '09. Our Ed Fuller revenues

[29:01] that would be generated from

[29:08] the 7.6 5% is that

[29:09] 20 million 6 4483 would need

[29:09] non ad valorem revenues make up

[29:13] that gap and the amount of

[29:13] 27 million 6 4131. And when

[29:14] that's all said and done if

[29:19] this budget is adopted as it is

[29:19] with the expenses that that we

[29:20] have proposed after 7.6 5

[29:24] millage rate. We would only

[29:24] need 2 years $272

[29:28] 9.95 for card 272,000 rather

[29:31] haha.

[29:32] In our fund balance which our

[29:32] fund balance is savings

[29:35] account, primarily we could

[29:35] look at that.

[29:39] Essentially in tact that uses

[29:58] that way.

[29:59] This is just like another

[30:00] Official recap of the 7.6 5

[30:05] know is what it means between

[30:05] the revenues expense for the

[30:06] additional revenues and the ad

[30:09] for arm itself represent about

[30:09] 42 percent of the general fund

[30:16] budget.

[30:17] The are these are the general

[30:18] fund budgetary pressures so

[30:22] these are actually embedded in

[30:22] the budget that we have

[30:23] proposed already. So right now

[30:25] we're looking at a park police

[30:29] contract increase of one

[30:29] 0.5 now the transferred to the

[30:30] fire fund of 1.2 million

[30:36] dollars. I'm sorry that police

[30:37] contract is represented twice.

[30:38] So disregard the I'm out and

[30:48] the Somerset roof replacement

[30:49] is that one now we also propose

[30:49] and a 500,000 for the city ada

[30:52] restroom. $375,000 for

[30:52] Southwest 81st Street landscape

[30:56] need an inspection

[30:56] and engineering and also for

[30:57] the home rehab and hometown

[31:00] hero program. That's a cost of

[31:08] 400 $1000.

[31:14] As city mention that

[31:14] we did you know is it a budget

[31:15] again and what we try to

[31:22] attempt to do is to get to that

[31:22] 7.6 5 millage rate so we did

[31:23] look different you know aspects

[31:27] of how to balance the budget at

[31:28] 7.6 5 so. There was some

[31:28] revenue adjustments here where

[31:34] we did get out final revenue

[31:34] amount from the state in

[31:35] regards to those numbers that

[31:38] we have projected on and then

[31:39] we've received the final

[31:41] numbers so for

[31:42] >> the ad valorem best the

[31:42] adjustment that the first line

[31:44] of the adjustment from point

[31:52] for mileage.

[31:53] >> 2 of the 7.6 5 so it's a

[31:53] reduction a little over

[31:58] 2 million dollars. Just in the

[31:58] revenue the millage rate rather

[32:04] from the 8.4 to

[32:04] 7.6 5%. The state did you

[32:05] communication service tax that

[32:13] we will be get in so instead of

[32:14] the original 710. We're get and

[32:15] 734 9.68, which is about

[32:21] $25,000 difference. And the

[32:22] state revenue did go up a

[32:22] little bit by 5 11 8 '07.

[32:29] The half-cent tax is that did

[32:30] go down from the earlier

[32:30] projection. So we did was about

[32:36] a $115,000 there just a small

[32:37] adjustments are entering world.

[32:38] He's which is 27 and that we're

[32:42] proposing a for the u user fee

[32:43] for the credit card of about

[32:44] $70,000. That's all for the

[32:51] general fund.

[32:51] So these are the budget

[32:52] adjustments that were made.

[32:57] Between the departments in

[32:58] order to be able to get to that

[33:01] 7.6 5 no

[33:02] millage rate with the $272,000

[33:03] that we are utilizing and our

[33:09] reserves, our fund balance.

[33:10] So I want to for this to the

[33:11] city manager to speak on this

[33:13] subject mayor, thank you Sharon

[33:14] good evening again. MISTER

[33:19] Mayor commissioners.

[33:20] >> And so in order to get the

[33:27] cuts necessary to get us to the

[33:27] 7.6 5. We looked at all of the

[33:28] budget so we went line item by

[33:31] line item and these

[33:31] are recommendations. The the

[33:32] only thing that we looked under

[33:35] under the commission area was

[33:39] a potential

[33:39] reduction of over time there is

[33:40] there are a couple employees

[33:44] that are over time a legible

[33:45] we've corrected that issue

[33:46] where they no longer get

[33:48] overtime. And so we are

[33:48] reducing that 24 that was

[33:49] originally budgeted and then

[33:57] we're making a recommendation

[33:58] to reduce and the discretionary

[33:58] funds as well. I'm in the city

[34:01] manager's office. Consulting

[34:02] services we're looking to

[34:03] reduce by $125,000

[34:09] miscellaneous by $1500

[34:10] marketing by 10,000. Community

[34:10] recognition by 7500 and travel

[34:15] and training by 2500 and the

[34:16] City Attorney's Office. We

[34:16] looked at the actuals from

[34:23] human resources legal general

[34:24] manners and finance. So we're

[34:25] recommending to reduce those

[34:31] human resources by 25,000

[34:31] general matters by 10 and

[34:32] financed by 10. Additionally.

[34:37] And

[34:37] human resources. We looked at

[34:38] consulting services for special

[34:44] hr product hr project

[34:45] reducing those by $10,000

[34:45] reducing employee events by

[34:48] $10,000. And we have not gotten

[34:48] to spend we did not spend the

[34:49] full amount for the employees

[34:52] this year. And so that

[34:53] reduction is it won't won't

[34:53] impact the employees and then

[34:58] travel and training in human

[34:59] resources by $3,000 in finance.

[35:00] We're looking at reducing their

[35:03] travel and training and

[35:04] seminars. I $7200. That is a

[35:04] large number for travel and

[35:11] training but they do need to

[35:12] make sure that a variety of the

[35:12] staff that the department had

[35:16] and your

[35:16] counties all have Get that

[35:17] they're necessary ceos to

[35:21] continue their certifications

[35:22] in public works were looking to

[35:23] reduce $25,000. 4 new decade of

[35:28] street lights decorative Street

[35:29] lights that will be installing

[35:29] and parks and Recreation.

[35:37] We are reducing travel and

[35:37] training into their both in

[35:38] parks and Recreation. Our we're

[35:47] looking into reduce some of the

[35:48] a part-time. Staff hours no

[35:48] staff but staffing hours.

[35:52] Is in the 7 to farm and then

[35:52] with those reductions there's

[35:53] also some reductions with the

[35:56] fica taxes will

[35:57] fly paint. Are we looking at re

[35:57] reducing some money from some

[36:00] special events. But not

[36:04] canceling all those

[36:05] special events. We're looking

[36:06] at reducing the amount of

[36:09] dollars is for seasonal

[36:10] employees. Those are fee-based

[36:10] program staff and then the

[36:15] other one is the obviously

[36:16] replacement of fica. Dollars

[36:17] from the season all staff were

[36:20] also looking. It's not on this

[36:21] list, but we're also looking

[36:26] at.

[36:26] Reducing the a special contract

[36:27] that we have in in re kind of

[36:30] forming that in the community

[36:30] development Department to a

[36:31] rehab program are looking to

[36:39] reduce of $500,000. And then

[36:40] not department at all. Some of

[36:41] these will be funded out of the

[36:43] contingency and but we did

[36:44] money. So we did to the general

[36:47] fund

[36:48] you know the $200,000 for

[36:49] Jaycee Park tobacco for public

[36:52] works. The Somerset roof we

[36:52] actually are quotes from the

[36:53] roof of the cause is about 900

[36:59] $1000 that we reduce top by

[37:00] $200,000. We're reducing

[37:00] $450,000 off the Boulevard of

[37:03] champions repaving project.

[37:11] Rock Island road.

[37:11] We need $700,000. To pave the

[37:12] portion of the road from

[37:19] mcdavitt road to Valley Road.

[37:20] So reducing all of that by

[37:21] $700,000 because the county is

[37:22] going to reimburse us that

[37:23] so well it was the case of the

[37:23] county will be reimbursing that

[37:29] to we're waiting for the

[37:30] agreement that does that

[37:31] insurance we reduced by

[37:35] $200,000 and then the continues

[37:36] here reducing by $200,000.

[37:37] And then we're going to look to

[37:39] start doing certain class are

[37:40] all male for all of our

[37:41] advertising and only years

[37:44] first class mail for checks

[37:49] that are mailed out come

[37:50] violent actions and or or

[37:50] correspondence and the rest

[37:53] we'll all first class mail so

[37:54] we're looking at a reduction of

[37:57] that.

[37:58] And then. What will address the

[38:02] other ones where we get to

[38:02] it but that brings us right

[38:03] around to about 2.1 million

[38:11] dollars and so that is how we

[38:12] were able to reduce the millage

[38:12] from 8.4 to 7.6 5. I want to be

[38:15] very clear that we have not

[38:16] and use all those line to chair

[38:21] and

[38:21] put up. I went and talked about

[38:22] you know where where the budget

[38:26] is by personnel and so on.

[38:26] We have not cut anything

[38:27] associated with our personnel

[38:33] we have not cut personnel.

[38:34] We do have a soft hiring freeze

[38:34] in place right now. And but we

[38:40] do have

[38:41] we haven't cut you know that

[38:41] the pay raise that the

[38:44] employees get unlike

[38:45] other cities. Most of our

[38:46] employees don't get union pay

[38:51] raises plus Cola plus merit.

[38:52] The North Lauderdale everybody

[38:53] only got you know one pay raise

[38:56] and so we've left at

[38:56] the same. We left the fsa

[38:57] money, the same and so that's

[39:03] really they're they're reflects

[39:03] the difference in personnel.

[39:07] Everything

[39:08] We have reduced all of the

[39:08] other budget operating line

[39:11] item for all the other

[39:12] departments have seen a

[39:12] reduction in their budgets.

[39:15] Overall and so with that MISTER

[39:16] Mayor

[39:17] that concludes. The general

[39:18] from presentation if you'd like

[39:23] to hear from the general fund

[39:24] departments quickly wait we can

[39:25] and we can have them come up

[39:27] state kind of their mode of

[39:31] operation

[39:31] you want to know like they're

[39:32] maybe you want to know that he

[39:34] accomplished and say had some

[39:35] major accomplishments this past

[39:43] year.

[39:44] >> It says so much just the

[39:45] like to make sure we have a

[39:49] justification for

[39:50] department where there was an

[39:54] increase. And dollars

[39:55] a percentage. And one specific

[40:03] cause a chance India with this.

[40:04] Because this program is

[40:05] contracted covid whatever we

[40:07] have. And then what happened

[40:08] to resist services if the

[40:08] question we use. I like to get

[40:14] those things that every year.

[40:23] Yes, you're recognized, thank

[40:24] I hear we're not certain that

[40:24] that we questioned yet it just

[40:27] it just because that part of

[40:28] the presentation will not get a

[40:29] question in okay we're just

[40:30] going to will be the big

[40:33] question about it on unless you

[40:34] something want to ask. Yeah

[40:36] we're not.

[40:36] You know we're not in that it

[40:37] was questioning it or not they

[40:40] will question is can make sure

[40:41] that the PRESIDENT There ok to

[40:46] the chair.

[40:49] >> In regards to the general

[40:50] expenditures there are a number

[40:51] of items that are not actually

[40:57] included in this budget for the

[40:58] general fund so not all of this

[40:59] is but I'll go to the ones that

[41:03] are related to the

[41:03] general fund which is the City

[41:04] Hall security and chambers

[41:08] renovations that's a million

[41:09] dollars. The home Hartmann

[41:41] tenor that's set to 50. That's

[41:42] the lobby and services. That's

[41:42] a $150,000 food and wine

[41:47] Festival 400.

[41:47] >> The feasibility study for

[41:48] the special district that's not

[41:52] included assigned 2000.

[41:52] >> Courtney Lee, a fence.

[41:53] A 100,000 the youth Council

[42:01] pilot program is a 100,000.

[42:02] Commissioners professional

[42:03] service on 2000 that's not an

[42:06] increase that's not included

[42:07] for 50 get healthy North

[42:16] Lauderdale initiative that's

[42:16] 50,000 the teen center at 50.

[42:20] And that low.

[42:21] And the general fund

[42:22] expenditures that is not

[42:24] included in the proposed budget

[42:27] that was presented.

[42:28] So with that we can get some

[42:29] air we can

[42:31] bring the.

[42:32] >> General fund department

[42:32] stopped keep good

[42:33] will start, I'm just going to

[42:34] order the hallway, so we'll

[42:36] start with community

[42:48] development time. Yeah.

[42:48] She has some precision to

[42:53] expect. So time if you

[42:53] want to walked through just you

[42:54] know community over what can

[42:56] you develop

[42:57] heart does any reductions to

[42:58] services that are outlined in

[43:10] the budget.

[43:11] We're not necessarily

[43:11] reductions but impacts to

[43:26] services.

[43:27] >> Still good afternoon mayor

[43:28] vice

[43:29] mayor commissioners city

[43:29] manager city attorney city

[43:32] clerk and or North Lauderdale

[43:38] community.

[43:39] >> Community development had a

[43:41] 20% increase

[43:44] and as you stated you want to

[43:45] make sure that or decreases not

[43:45] affecting the level of service

[43:50] that we provide to our

[43:51] community. But rather we are

[43:53] maintaining.

[43:54] But mindful of her fiscal

[43:57] spending.

[43:58] To that mayor and commission we

[43:58] just want to point out our

[44:04] biggest items on our budget.

[44:08] As our operation of our

[44:09] building department. So or

[44:10] building services provided by

[44:13] Broward County.

[44:14] And last year we had a budget

[44:20] of about 950,000.

[44:20] Keep in mind that whenever they

[44:21] have an increase. Built-in

[44:24] system where we pay. Increase

[44:28] annually.

[44:29] But we we looked at our

[44:30] trajectory of permits that were

[44:34] process and.

[44:34] The volume or processing and

[44:35] also the changes in the state

[44:39] regulation.

[44:40] So we are planning on having a

[44:44] town hall on House bill 8 '03.

[44:44] I hope our residents that are

[44:45] here today will come and listen

[44:49] to that that is greatly

[44:49] affected Alex. How we do

[44:50] business. I mean and we're

[44:54] going to see a lot more we have

[44:55] to make room for private

[44:56] providers that means they are

[45:03] able to pull the permits review

[45:03] the permits and inspect the

[45:04] permits. That takes away that

[45:08] work.

[45:09] Building department would do in

[45:10] turning through the consultant

[45:13] which expect County.

[45:14] So we looked at that and start

[45:15] to reduce the cost we don't

[45:17] know what that impact will be

[45:18] throughout the year. But we

[45:19] know it should be an impact

[45:22] because we have seen that

[45:23] services requested currently in

[45:27] our current budget year.

[45:28] Also we're trying to be mindful

[45:28] of our project streamlining

[45:31] them make sure that we get

[45:35] projects out quicker.

[45:36] So there's less review time if

[45:36] there's a less review time less

[45:42] inspection time that should

[45:42] reduce the cost of that big

[45:43] servants. The other project

[45:48] that we

[45:48] we have gone from 400,000 to

[45:49] 200,000 is in our general

[45:51] planet.

[45:52] What that means is that they

[45:52] MAY earn Commission approved.

[45:57] The update of the land

[45:58] development code. We were able

[46:02] to get started in this

[46:02] fiscal year. So based on the

[46:03] core of that work which is the

[46:08] up front leg work collecting

[46:08] data packaging we have already

[46:12] absorbed some of

[46:13] that cost. So the 200,000 is to

[46:14] push it into the. And of that

[46:21] project into the 2027 year.

[46:22] We also went down MISS Alina's

[46:25] consulting services.

[46:26] This is not an indication give

[46:32] us more work.

[46:33] We have been pretty good at

[46:34] absorbing some of that cost and

[46:39] knock on wood. We also have not

[46:40] had any major disaster which

[46:40] would trigger the use of that

[46:46] amount which is 4 for

[46:47] emergency. Building services.

[46:48] So we have built in contingency

[46:52] to support the building

[46:52] department again state statute

[46:53] requires that if we have a

[46:55] hurricane or an emergency we

[47:00] need to be up and running.

[47:01] Within a few days so everything

[47:05] can operate on time.

[47:06] That money is there and

[47:07] fortunately we have not had any

[47:11] to use it.

[47:12] Lastly we have somewhat

[47:12] increased our economic

[47:18] development fund, but it's not

[47:18] by much. That account we or

[47:21] chamber.

[47:22] Our bizarre or state our case

[47:26] of North Lauderdale.

[47:27] And all of the projects related

[47:27] to funding our businesses

[47:34] whether it is currently we have

[47:34] a grant program. We are we are

[47:35] helping businesses to get a new

[47:36] sign if

[47:37] they'd like or put in new

[47:38] equipment as long as it is

[47:44] going to help the city of North

[47:45] Lauderdale to improve. The

[47:45] business conditions. So that

[47:50] budget was increased.

[47:51] Other than that mayor and

[47:52] commission our code enforcement

[47:55] budget which mayor

[47:56] of us. The cost there is or

[47:59] lease it up or be calls.

[47:59] And right below that is our

[48:03] special magistrate.

[48:04] I haven't put it out there yet,

[48:05] but we do have some benefit of

[48:07] our special magistrate that

[48:11] we're working on a contract.

[48:12] Who has been generous enough I

[48:13] don't know if I can put that

[48:15] out yet so

[48:16] I wait that it will see a

[48:19] significant reduction for

[48:20] us again. Some work will be

[48:22] have by staff in tournament.

[48:23] In totality mayor and

[48:28] commission we took.

[48:28] The lead from ore

[48:29] administration or city manager

[48:33] said cut the budget initially

[48:34] we have always operated on the

[48:34] sleek. Budget in our

[48:40] department. And we do a lot

[48:41] with very little. And we will

[48:41] continue to do that for

[48:44] community.

[48:44] And hopefully get better at her

[48:48] service.

[48:48] That's it for my presentation I

[48:49] can answer the questions you

[48:56] MAY have.

[48:57] >> City measure me ask you how

[48:57] departs other departments we

[49:00] have that would shore up

[49:01] the present basically want to

[49:02] know disappears you there's an

[49:04] increase or decrease.

[49:12] >> So I actually that.

[49:12] >> Finance and human resources

[49:13] are very small departments so

[49:15] that there are changes are

[49:16] very minor. Public works is a

[49:17] general is a combination

[49:20] general fund but also an

[49:21] assessment. Department and then

[49:22] parks are creations so we can

[49:28] start with public works.

[49:29] You know. And if you want to

[49:30] just address your general fund

[49:32] expenses so not anything that

[49:33] comes out of any of the

[49:46] assessments.

[49:47] The other major increases or

[49:47] decreases in any reduction to

[49:50] cities and let me guide to the

[49:51] commissioner

[49:57] also presentation.

[49:58] >> We're interest also if

[49:58] there's any new position

[50:02] contract equivocal

[50:03] capital expenditures that would

[50:03] be included to justify those

[50:08] that saw one makeshift.

[50:09] Okay, if you could have to

[50:10] wait. That's that's a good part

[50:13] of it. This is a part

[50:14] of that wr just if there is

[50:14] because if when when we

[50:16] increase or decrease want to

[50:17] make sure that there's a reason

[50:17] why that's all for the public

[50:20] this capital new positions.

[50:26] Quitman.

[50:31] If there's if there's any.

[50:32] If you're so good afternoon.

[50:32] It. So right now they're all.

[50:39] We have some capital projects

[50:39] going on. And all we have for a

[50:40] couple of kids out for it's

[50:47] going or landscaping. We also

[50:47] have the Kimberley West this

[50:48] it's good to start shortly.

[50:49] Those are.

[50:49] You know already budgeted for

[50:50] fiscal year 26 was not going

[50:55] affect, 22 the support that.

[50:59] We did put in for a.

[51:00] From a ministry to a

[51:01] coordinator ministry to cordon

[51:07] for public works and utilities.

[51:08] And the budget is a 70,000 for

[51:08] that position. We have a really

[51:14] good question.

[51:14] You know any significant

[51:15] positions. As far as equipment

[51:16] for

[51:16] the general. There's no

[51:17] building equipment were looking

[51:22] to purchase now for the streets

[51:23] is and that's it. And the prize

[51:28] fund it's a battle.

[51:29] Or just recently purchased a

[51:29] gun control for that was in

[51:36] fiscal year.

[51:36] There have been up in increase

[51:37] a bit some cuts to our proposed

[51:40] budget for next year but

[51:40] they're not there's not going

[51:41] to be increase in services for

[51:50] it.

[51:51] I think there should be all

[51:52] right with because we're

[51:55] looking at pace 22. There's a

[52:00] lot we've gotten

[52:01] decrease in the proposed for 27

[52:14] 7.

[52:14] We just want to make it so that

[52:18] 4.6 million dollar reduction.

[52:18] What we're doing is we're

[52:19] spreading also were delaying

[52:22] some of our projects. It's a

[52:24] 2829. So we can

[52:25] you know everything back in

[52:25] place is far more than that

[52:28] keeping the city's Plaza on

[52:34] track.

[52:38] For for for example.

[52:39] >> They had They have $900,000

[52:40] budgeted for some new piping in

[52:43] some move out. In a

[52:43] conversation with public works.

[52:44] It was determined that that I

[52:49] can be able to do all that and

[52:49] one fiscal year anyway. So

[52:50] they've got $500,000 this year

[52:53] and then they'll get the other

[52:57] $400,000

[52:57] next year. There was some money

[52:58] set aside as you know the

[53:03] commission approved this year,

[53:04] some engineering work for new

[53:04] fire hydrants or some outsize

[53:07] piping for fire hydrant that is

[53:08] still in the engineering

[53:09] process. So the chances of it

[53:11] starting in being completed

[53:14] next year do actual work.

[53:15] So that project is budgeted now

[53:15] not in this year this coming

[53:20] year's capital budget but the

[53:21] following year. So no project

[53:21] was said we're not going to do

[53:28] it somewhere where spread out a

[53:29] little bit mainly because the

[53:29] project's start date. He's

[53:35] probably after you know that

[53:35] the current fiscal year the new

[53:36] fiscal year. You know it is

[53:39] ending and so we just moving

[53:40] them down the road a little bit

[53:40] to make the impact a little bit

[53:50] less on the residence.

[53:51] >> for public works director

[53:55] general. Okay all right.

[53:55] I see them as an ex was

[54:03] Department we will have a.

[54:03] >> And as the last department

[54:04] will be parks and Recreation

[54:08] the rather others operational

[54:09] MISTER Mayor the residents of

[54:10] the House that are here if they

[54:13] could see those things on the

[54:13] screen. This was not part of

[54:14] the original presentation so we

[54:17] don't have them on the screen.

[54:18] All we can show you is what

[54:19] we're showing you and you know

[54:27] on the far right hand side of

[54:28] that column. It's either you

[54:29] know an increase in departments

[54:32] decreasing departments and so

[54:33] we're just addressing the

[54:34] decrease right now and the

[54:35] general fund departments

[54:36] and then the fire will discuss

[54:36] there's and public works will

[54:40] discuss their assessments later

[54:45] on so parks

[54:46] and Recreation will be the last

[54:47] one to present under this one

[54:52] and it's the same capital

[54:53] projects, new positions.

[54:56] And equipment that has been

[54:57] requested and that was removed

[54:58] or kick or down the road to the

[55:04] budget.

[55:05] >> Yes good evening Patrick and

[55:08] parks and

[55:09] Recreation director and just

[55:10] giving up quick overview as

[55:11] mentioned I know the city

[55:12] manager mentioned in the

[55:12] presentation what the

[55:16] reductions or and I can

[55:17] certainly go over some of those

[55:21] again and just sharing what

[55:21] we do. Providing quality of

[55:22] life improved services for

[55:27] pretty much all age groups from

[55:28] our youth children. Teens to

[55:32] our goals

[55:32] our seniors, we threw providing

[55:33] the services are course

[55:36] services as you

[55:37] all know our children were in

[55:37] summer camp we serve 520

[55:41] children throughout the summer

[55:42] on a daily basis and then

[55:43] throughout the school year.

[55:45] We serve a 140 children and

[55:46] after school hours usually come

[55:54] 02:00pm to 06:00pm.

[55:55] area of opportunities, a broad

[55:55] range of things throughout the

[55:58] year for everyone, a

[55:58] family oriented including we

[55:59] have youth and

[56:00] adult athletics. A big on

[56:00] basketball city manager

[56:02] mentioned we used to Somerset

[56:06] gymnasium.

[56:07] Gymnasium conditions is

[56:07] successful helpful for our

[56:14] youth programs for basketball.

[56:15] We also partner with North

[56:16] Florida Panthers for a tackle

[56:21] football and cheerleading

[56:22] program and we run a soccer

[56:22] program to different season of

[56:27] spring and Do 6 continue to be

[56:27] successful and you know with

[56:31] the help on our.

[56:32] Artificial or synthetic turf

[56:32] that's been really helpful or

[56:39] maintenance.

[56:40] Leading into one of the things

[56:40] we did so maintenance cost

[56:41] about $40,000. And I think your

[56:42] sex or for interrupting you

[56:43] have any documentation, nothing

[56:45] at all documentation any

[56:46] backup.

[56:47] Back up a minute well what

[56:48] you're presenting I don't see

[56:54] we don't see anything here.

[56:55] >> But MISTER Mayor there's not

[56:56] that this was not part of the

[56:58] original presentation that we

[57:05] had planned and made public

[57:05] and so this came as a result of

[57:06] the questions that you in in

[57:08] your e-mail over

[57:09] the weekend. And so the

[57:10] departments are just kind of

[57:13] walking through this just sent

[57:14] but the commission did ask a

[57:15] couple weeks that. The park

[57:18] will show.

[57:28] >> Where which show a.

[57:28] Their expenses everything there

[57:29] for the budget for 2627.

[57:31] And so there's

[57:32] an increase you could justify

[57:32] what's increase or decrease.

[57:35] So that's what we have enough

[57:39] time to do that.

[57:40] >> So MISTER Chair of this

[57:40] slide basically shows that

[57:46] there is a decrease in just

[57:46] about every department in the

[57:47] city. The city manager's office

[57:49] has a decrease of

[57:50] 6%. Human resources, a decrease

[58:01] of 1.0 9%.

[58:01] The community development

[58:02] decreased by 20.4 4% code 0.3%,

[58:04] public works 49.3 9% again a

[58:04] lot of there's our assessments

[58:05] as well and then parks and

[58:10] Recreation is a decrease of

[58:11] 3.2%. And so the only

[58:12] departments assault increase

[58:13] where the sheriff's office

[58:14] department that was something

[58:14] that we had originally

[58:19] discussed when we walk through

[58:24] their contract and and then the

[58:25] city clerk has a 60% increase,

[58:26] but it's it's $72,000 and the

[58:31] car can let you know what that

[58:31] dealt with. But for the most

[58:32] part all the other departments

[58:34] have

[58:35] a reduction in the amount of

[58:40] money that they use last year.

[58:41] Compared to what is proposed

[58:41] right now this year, so every

[58:44] part meant reduction I'm not

[58:44] going to get too long, but it

[58:47] got to the home

[58:48] requests that his department

[58:49] would say exactly what

[58:52] we're asking.

[58:53] >> What we increasing what is

[58:54] it meant was a contract with

[58:56] whatever

[58:57] it is so it can justify, but it

[58:58] was not shown showing here.

[59:02] I mean we have to budget that

[59:03] was exempt the purpose for it.

[59:04] So resident would know exactly

[59:07] where that money is going

[59:08] to go what we need is for

[59:08] example we just want to page.

[59:13] 20. What was great was that.

[59:21] If you could see the

[59:22] there is there you want to

[59:23] believe. Where shows exactly

[59:27] have. To some a set of rules

[59:27] is needed and what the

[59:35] department x. And you see

[59:35] the Police Department took came

[59:36] up twice. We have is it 23 to

[59:40] 22.

[59:45] So those are example, I mean we

[59:46] can see we could see that the

[59:46] Senate seat but we do see want

[59:50] it is why.

[59:54] What causes to go up or down.

[59:55] Because I just for

[1:00:06] transparency.

[1:00:07] >> I guess they're looking for

[1:00:10] a

[1:00:11] list of a more detailed list

[1:00:11] because other than what we

[1:00:14] provided.

[1:00:20] It's been just that we in

[1:00:21] general fund a 31, but is the

[1:00:22] public soak it was we we have

[1:00:24] to be maybe 7 me and that last

[1:00:25] year this year we're going to

[1:00:25] ask

[1:00:26] me is, but what causes that so

[1:00:27] we didn't have that one those

[1:00:32] are the details that need to

[1:00:32] be done. Prior to this meeting

[1:00:35] here. But it's not done.

[1:00:36] All right so for the essence of

[1:00:37] time we're not going to have it

[1:00:39] here that's fine. You can move

[1:00:45] on with

[1:00:46] do you one as for all the

[1:00:46] departments would be if the

[1:00:52] commission. I got.

[1:00:52] Something smaller than in 7.6

[1:00:53] 7, 6, 5, What can the

[1:00:59] department and you could

[1:00:59] possibly reduce defender, Wolf

[1:01:00] and elsewhere. Welcome peace

[1:01:04] more efficient. So that's what

[1:01:05] we're that's the purpose of

[1:01:05] asking each department. What if

[1:01:08] you want to show. We have a

[1:01:09] higher increase on this

[1:01:09] increase, what is it there.

[1:01:14] Since we don't have that that's

[1:01:15] part of the question would like

[1:01:16] to have it so fast it to us or

[1:01:18] we will.

[1:01:18] >> Whatever millage rate the

[1:01:22] commission

[1:01:23] approves tonight, there will be

[1:01:25] a second vote on the SEPTEMBER

[1:01:26] 20th Commission meeting and so

[1:01:27] if the commission said 7.4

[1:01:31] Mills. That we will come back

[1:01:31] and we will show you what we

[1:01:35] can cut out

[1:01:36] of that. Again the goal is to

[1:01:37] use as little reserves as

[1:01:39] possible. So

[1:01:40] we're prepared to do whatever

[1:01:44] the final number of the

[1:01:45] commission has to to make that

[1:01:46] as best we can. We know we've

[1:01:46] got I got.

[1:01:47] >> The only thing like I said

[1:01:48] we want to make sure that the

[1:01:50] public's and thank you Kate,

[1:01:57] it on no one.

[1:01:58] Work for every tax dollar that

[1:01:59] the Dow just spit what is going

[1:01:59] on was a spent on and you can

[1:02:00] see if the food you exactly

[1:02:01] what is general numbers, good

[1:02:07] but you want to go into the

[1:02:07] deals you can decide where they

[1:02:08] want is we don't want that one,

[1:02:11] but that's all all right.

[1:02:13] This if you have I know

[1:02:13] the department.

[1:02:14] >> Not not Susan you want to

[1:02:15] just explain your cause the

[1:02:20] clerk's office has an increase.

[1:02:21] >> The increase for the clerk's

[1:02:26] offices due to

[1:02:26] election costs. We had

[1:02:27] referendum questions a special

[1:02:35] election

[1:02:36] this year. And each question is

[1:02:36] on a separate ballot question a

[1:02:39] separate as well as other.

[1:02:43] Ballot that is for the mayor

[1:02:44] of art. So the supervisor of

[1:02:48] election has raised their fees.

[1:02:49] That that's her post as to what

[1:02:59] they're going to charge us.

[1:02:59] >> Back to city manager that

[1:03:00] concludes the presentations for

[1:03:03] now the other departments will

[1:03:03] present I want to do the

[1:03:09] assessments.

[1:03:10] Do we do the assessment now or

[1:03:11] because we have to finish the

[1:03:12] map and that is first, we have

[1:03:12] to finish the millage for a

[1:03:13] slick, so this would be part of

[1:03:44] Silverman is correct yes, okay

[1:03:49] ok ready.

[1:03:56] Only on the ballot for now.

[1:03:56] So MISTER Chair that concludes

[1:03:57] the presentation for now on

[1:04:00] just

[1:04:01] the mileage. We have more of a

[1:04:02] presentation but we'll do it

[1:04:03] for each one of the assessments

[1:04:04] it's going to be part later on

[1:04:05] yes, yeah okay that's what my

[1:04:13] question was ok. All right

[1:04:13] This I know commission is ready

[1:04:18] for questions but first we need

[1:04:19] the public on this game to the

[1:04:19] public for questioning.

[1:04:22] Comments and then with a.

[1:04:29] It's the commission.

[1:04:29] I am hurting anyone. Any

[1:04:30] speaker display don't know.

[1:04:30] If not this is open

[1:04:36] to anyone.

[1:04:36] >> The speakers on this and

[1:04:37] decided this is the speakers

[1:04:40] don't sign up at the

[1:04:41] budget hearings. What has

[1:04:41] happened historically issue ask

[1:04:44] who wants

[1:04:44] to speak and then they come up

[1:04:45] one by one in the chest 3

[1:04:47] minutes.

[1:04:48] They could not so I had a

[1:04:51] living.

[1:04:52] Historically the budget

[1:04:52] hearings we do not use public

[1:04:55] comments for people to sign up

[1:04:58] to speak.

[1:04:59] Ok I'm sure that each item okay

[1:05:00] ask who wants to speak to him

[1:05:02] up one of the time and

[1:05:05] appreciate at no profit.

[1:05:09] >> Having said for this item

[1:05:09] the public the Publix kitchen

[1:05:12] is open to

[1:05:13] anyone please, anyone feel free

[1:05:13] to come to the podium as

[1:05:21] question.

[1:05:22] I had to change my speech 3

[1:05:23] times after going to state your

[1:05:25] name and correct. My name is

[1:05:30] Linda, Ashby.

[1:05:32] >> I'm a resident of North

[1:05:32] Lauderdale for approximately 50

[1:05:36] years. I came here in 2010.

[1:05:37] And boy things have changed.

[1:05:37] Good evening. Mayor

[1:05:39] commissioners.

[1:05:40] My city control property taxes

[1:05:41] and assessments are proposed to

[1:05:45] increase from approximately.

[1:05:54] 1000 to 6098.

[1:05:55] That's a 594 increase from a

[1:05:55] and or approximately 54%.

[1:06:05] I'm non ad valorem

[1:06:05] assessment along are increasing

[1:06:06] from 5 from 956 to 1545, that's

[1:06:12] 62%. The city manager described

[1:06:13] reducing the proposed millage

[1:06:13] rates from 8.4 to 7.6 5 Mills

[1:06:16] has a significant reduction

[1:06:20] that description is misleading.

[1:06:21] Point for Miller right was only

[1:06:22] the maximum ceiling approved in

[1:06:24] JULY. It was never the rate

[1:06:29] residents

[1:06:30] were paying. The honest

[1:06:33] comparison is with the current

[1:06:34] 7,007.4 million rate and the

[1:06:39] 6.9 8, 8, 9 rollback rate.

[1:06:40] At 7.6 5 Mills, the city is

[1:06:41] still increasing our tax rate

[1:06:44] it's approximately 9.4 6% about

[1:06:47] the rollback rate

[1:06:47] reducing and inflated maximum

[1:06:48] while still increasing

[1:06:54] resident's taxes is not tax

[1:06:54] relief. Residents should not be

[1:06:55] forced to soar the consequences

[1:07:03] of approximately 11 million

[1:07:03] budget gap and years of

[1:07:04] questionable financial

[1:07:07] decisions. Yet last year 4

[1:07:08] members of the commission voted

[1:07:08] to give commissioners

[1:07:13] approximately a 200%. Pay

[1:07:14] increase tripling their

[1:07:19] salaries from 19,000 to

[1:07:20] 57,000. Commissioners are also

[1:07:20] receiving an 808,400 vehicle

[1:07:24] allowance. While the mayor

[1:07:25] salary has increased to $68,000

[1:07:29] by

[1:07:29] the way Margate city a city

[1:07:30] mayor is only making 3030 k and

[1:07:32] there they have a MARCH largest

[1:07:37] citizens.

[1:07:37] I'm a senior citizen living on

[1:07:38] a fixed income. I must pay for

[1:07:40] my home utilities insurance

[1:07:43] transportation

[1:07:44] food medical needs when my

[1:07:44] expenses it and it sees my

[1:07:51] income I can up demand more

[1:07:51] money from someone else Imus

[1:07:52] reduce my spending. The city

[1:07:56] must do the same go through

[1:07:57] this budget line by line cut

[1:07:58] unnecessary travel excessive

[1:08:00] compensation race and

[1:08:01] non-essential spending before

[1:08:02] demanding another dollar from

[1:08:05] residents. I'm asking you to

[1:08:06] reject the 7.6 5 mill rate move

[1:08:07] toward the rollback rate and

[1:08:10] adopt a budget residents can

[1:08:11] actually afford. Thank you for

[1:08:20] your attention in this matter.

[1:08:24] Express and please.

[1:08:25] Thank you thank you good

[1:08:28] evening Commission.

[1:08:29] >> So I I what I found

[1:08:34] interesting when they hold a

[1:08:35] second that if we go testing

[1:08:36] everything that means and next

[1:08:36] next item because this

[1:08:37] assessment I want people out

[1:08:38] you can do because if we're

[1:08:41] addressing to smell that that

[1:08:41] would be ok buddy for just all

[1:08:43] that is.

[1:08:46] >> Subject there.

[1:08:46] >> That's something else but go

[1:08:47] ahead, you can tell me but I

[1:08:49] basically pulled out one

[1:08:50] particular kind of just talking

[1:08:50] for everyone everyone so I

[1:08:53] think I'm good because I pulled

[1:08:54] out of the color category that

[1:08:57] that involved with

[1:08:57] the mileage and so could you

[1:08:58] please state your name walks or

[1:09:01] excuse and a guest in the audio

[1:09:01] 11 or 2 second Avenue resident

[1:09:02] of the beautiful city of

[1:09:06] lauderhill so I what I did this

[1:09:06] afternoon was just out of

[1:09:09] curiosity. I

[1:09:10] pulled a and this is all from

[1:09:11] the budget from 2023. Currently

[1:09:13] where we are right now with

[1:09:15] the proposal.

[1:09:16] You can correct me all the the

[1:09:16] information to make sure that

[1:09:22] it's accurate and it was just

[1:09:23] basically a comparison of the

[1:09:23] 2023 budget where we are now

[1:09:33] with the 2027 budget and I'll

[1:09:33] just highlighted by the cost

[1:09:34] right. So in personal services,

[1:09:41] the total. 228. 1740.

[1:09:41] Right now let's a lesson again

[1:09:42] I can be corrected. But I'm

[1:09:49] pretty close. A 664,461.

[1:09:50] When it comes to operating

[1:09:50] expenditures in the past you

[1:09:55] had a total of $385,010 we're

[1:09:56] currently going to run now with

[1:09:57] 591 1592 and then in the past

[1:10:08] in regards to Grant's aides

[1:10:09] and expenditures. We had a past

[1:10:10] total of 82,000. The 985.

[1:10:16] We're currently now with a

[1:10:18] 185,387. The total difference

[1:10:18] right the total difference from

[1:10:23] pasta now

[1:10:24] 696,735. Dollars we are

[1:10:25] currently 1 million 441 dollars

[1:10:28] and

[1:10:32] sorry. 1 million 400 and

[1:10:32] $41,440. I think we can do

[1:10:33] better right if you look at

[1:10:36] what was the staff. Now versus

[1:10:40] the staff in that department.

[1:10:41] There's a difference. I know

[1:10:41] the camera can see it but the

[1:10:46] crowd kept this is the past

[1:10:47] this is where we're at now.

[1:10:48] So there's obviously a growth

[1:10:53] in that there's also what I

[1:10:54] wanted to point out if a lot of

[1:10:54] on the clock or not but in

[1:10:59] regards to the discretionary

[1:11:00] funds and to give all colleges

[1:11:00] to give away money that money

[1:11:01] was put together by waste

[1:11:02] Management right. So that was

[1:11:02] that was something that was put

[1:11:07] into a program that allowed us

[1:11:08] city officials. Kind of get

[1:11:12] back to the community with

[1:11:12] your projects we're currently

[1:11:13] now away from that and work

[1:11:17] using residents tax dollars k

[1:11:17] and the money it it is is

[1:11:18] absorb and I think that there's

[1:11:21] a lot of people that want to

[1:11:21] speak I don't want to take a

[1:11:22] lot of time. My general point

[1:11:29] to you is you can do better

[1:11:29] right because when you look at

[1:11:30] what was done last year which

[1:11:35] was inflated right and then

[1:11:36] you go back now and you try to

[1:11:37] be played at number that's not

[1:11:41] really fair because you have to

[1:11:42] count the 4 years of the

[1:11:42] administration right you guys

[1:11:45] you talk about being fiscally

[1:11:46] responsible transparent held to

[1:11:47] accountability. I say force

[1:11:51] your staff in the city staff

[1:11:52] has done a great job. Go back

[1:12:02] you can do better but.

[1:12:03] >> And I'm going to an

[1:12:03] administration feel free if you

[1:12:10] have any factual questions is

[1:12:10] appropriate feel free. Because

[1:12:11] this is that the commission go

[1:12:14] ahead.

[1:12:15] >> Tell us are not only the

[1:12:18] rest of your heart about

[1:12:19] 6 years. But I'm just looking

[1:12:20] at the data you guys give us

[1:12:22] and

[1:12:23] I'm seeing no money has been

[1:12:24] increasing I know cost increase

[1:12:29] to we've all seen it.

[1:12:30] We're seeing your your income

[1:12:30] income increase at 7.4. We're

[1:12:33] seeing the spending going But

[1:12:34] you've been overspending for

[1:12:37] years.

[1:12:38] And now you're looking now and

[1:12:39] going oh well to balance our

[1:12:43] budget we need 8.4 7.6 5 we're

[1:12:44] still not balanced. What we've

[1:12:47] been doing we've

[1:12:48] got it I don't mind paying a

[1:12:48] little more if I know we're

[1:12:52] getting our money's worth.

[1:12:53] Take care of things that we

[1:12:54] need. But remember you guys

[1:12:57] have heard me speak plenty of

[1:12:58] times, I'm very conservative

[1:12:58] government does water sewer

[1:13:06] trash, public works. The

[1:13:06] utilities, the police the fire.

[1:13:07] It's not actually parks and

[1:13:11] Recreation. Child care centers.

[1:13:11] All that kind of stuff is not

[1:13:12] part of government, it's a nice

[1:13:15] thing we try to do.

[1:13:16] We need to take care of making

[1:13:18] sure we're safe and we can

[1:13:18] live freely. Versus are we

[1:13:19] getting other people's money

[1:13:22] away to smaller groups to take

[1:13:27] care of them.

[1:13:28] As a father of disabled kids I

[1:13:29] understand we've taken care of

[1:13:31] the same people in the past

[1:13:32] we do know the government does

[1:13:32] certain things but you know

[1:13:35] we're asking the 5 up there

[1:13:36] when you look at the budget

[1:13:39] from the city.

[1:13:40] Are we really doing what we

[1:13:41] need to do are we doing what we

[1:13:43] want to do so I just like you

[1:13:44] guys look really closely all

[1:13:45] that stuff when you consider

[1:13:47] this millage rate I know it's

[1:13:48] tough decision and I don't and

[1:13:51] the any of you.

[1:13:52] But just keep that in mind we

[1:13:53] could get 7.4 now we've got a

[1:13:55] stake we all made.

[1:13:56] Are just overspent thank you

[1:14:12] very much.

[1:14:13] >> Good evening out. But a lot

[1:14:14] of 82 of

[1:14:15] 7 southcross Rucker I'm not

[1:14:16] going to go line by line by

[1:14:21] what I wrote but I do want to

[1:14:22] make a point. I'm a I'm like a

[1:14:23] lot of people I live on a fixed

[1:14:27] income.

[1:14:27] Just recently the government

[1:14:28] set that possibly social critic

[1:14:32] Michael a 3 to 3 and a half

[1:14:38] percent. You're asking us.

[1:14:39] Extremely high increases in the

[1:14:39] fire suspect the budget and all

[1:14:44] the assessment, it's it's

[1:14:44] unsustainable for people like

[1:14:50] ourselves who do not make a lot

[1:14:50] of money we live in fixing cars

[1:14:51] and I've been living here for

[1:14:55] over 30 years. It might

[1:14:56] property taxes low, but at this

[1:14:57] point when I got Mike trim

[1:15:02] notice. It increased by $700.

[1:15:03] And that's a lot and that's how

[1:15:03] they 0.4 but even at 7.6 5

[1:15:08] minutes straight. It's still

[1:15:13] hurting us and I think that the

[1:15:14] city and all city officials

[1:15:14] need to do a far better job and

[1:15:20] this budget.

[1:15:21] Cut the excess spending and do

[1:15:22] what is right. Look at 3 years

[1:15:24] of history of how you've spent

[1:15:24] and make a right decision and

[1:15:25] how you should budget line

[1:15:31] items get rid of things that

[1:15:31] you don't need. You have to you

[1:15:32] know think of the people that

[1:15:37] are are strapped the economy is

[1:15:38] bad it's getting worse. We're

[1:15:38] paying over $4 a gallon gas.

[1:15:41] And it's not going to get any

[1:15:42] better and

[1:15:42] he soon. So you'll have to make

[1:15:43] that decision we're not making

[1:15:49] a salaried you guys are making.

[1:15:49] So we you know you need to

[1:15:50] really think look at this

[1:15:55] budget line by line and make

[1:15:56] the decision that you need to

[1:15:57] cut one needs to be cut.

[1:16:09] Thank you.

[1:16:10] >> My name recent give I am not

[1:16:10] a resident of the city I owned

[1:16:15] properties that the city.

[1:16:16] I own a specific property in

[1:16:16] office building of a faulty

[1:16:22] Southwest 81st Avenue.

[1:16:22] I was shocked when I received

[1:16:23] the criminal case a few weeks

[1:16:28] ago. Well by my taxes are going

[1:16:31] up from 65,000 donors to a

[1:16:32] 128,000 bills. My taxes are

[1:16:38] growing a 100 the same gets.

[1:16:39] My rent that on collecting data

[1:16:40] on that the building was closed

[1:16:41] due to the safety old off

[1:16:42] clothes you. But even now that

[1:16:43] I'm back open in renting com

[1:16:47] renting for the same rate they

[1:16:48] got in 2023 2024. I'm not

[1:16:49] increasing my rent, the 100%.

[1:16:52] Let alone help difficulty in

[1:16:53] the city to collect rent.

[1:16:57] To begin with.

[1:16:57] And let alone that we cannot

[1:16:58] treat the letter unsealed the

[1:17:01] way not the city's it's

[1:17:01] possible. He'll be called the

[1:17:02] growth this is the type of

[1:17:05] thing that we have and that's

[1:17:06] what we're collecting I cannot

[1:17:07] explain but then in pain

[1:17:10] listen, I'm sorry but my taxes

[1:17:11] went up a 100% they need to

[1:17:11] look more and be doesn't will.

[1:17:14] It

[1:17:14] doesn't work. So I went ahead

[1:17:20] and did some calculations.

[1:17:20] And by the way the whole

[1:17:21] conversation up until now since

[1:17:24] 5 o'clock was about it all

[1:17:24] around which is high, but this

[1:17:28] is

[1:17:28] look terrible. When we go into

[1:17:29] the man known at the Forum

[1:17:32] which is the second page of the

[1:21:25] got somebody so we're going to

[1:21:25] have them up more on the 5,000

[1:21:26] of the 75,000. It doesn't ball.

[1:21:29] I might not be the center of

[1:21:31] your.

[1:21:32] We cannot get rent people get

[1:21:33] And I'm just them because they

[1:21:40] need the probe the business.

[1:21:42] we the business owner over this

[1:22:40] Please state your name.

[1:22:40] Yeah, you know I feel that's

[1:22:41] the end of the game said Ben.

[1:22:44] On if you want to know.

[1:22:56] On a defense that can be.

[1:22:57] >> Good evening. Everyone, my

[1:22:58] name is Anne Marie Bernard and

[1:23:00] i am a resident of North

[1:23:03] Lauderdale for the last.

[1:23:03] 3 years. It is the pure

[1:23:04] unadulterated houses, I've

[1:23:09] lived here. I can't get

[1:23:09] anything done. I had to wait 18

[1:23:10] months for a street like to go

[1:23:21] look. You guys want me to pay.

[1:23:22] $6500 a year. In us dollars to

[1:23:23] live. And what I'm going to

[1:23:25] call the

[1:23:26] questionable neighborhood.

[1:23:27] I'm looking okay be looking at

[1:23:29] plantation looking it up and

[1:23:29] that really happened they can

[1:23:30] have of normal nearly tree.

[1:23:37] But we have to pay higher than

[1:23:38] everybody else. So as I must

[1:23:39] say people 40% of this city was

[1:23:41] on a fixed budget.

[1:23:42] And that they don't make and

[1:23:46] and they make less than $50,000

[1:23:47] a year. The median household

[1:23:48] income is $60,000. So you're

[1:23:50] telling me that the House and I

[1:23:50] bought 3 years ago is so

[1:23:51] amazingly expensive and you

[1:23:56] have to be assessed at such a

[1:23:56] high value and I need to be

[1:23:57] able need to be $7,000 to do

[1:24:00] that means I can make it any

[1:24:00] improvements on my house, you

[1:24:01] guys are not going to help me

[1:24:05] because I make too much money

[1:24:06] that's about it people veteran

[1:24:07] alright, I'm not a Medicaid are

[1:24:10] not a senior citizen. But I

[1:24:11] do have a disabled veteran has

[1:24:12] been. Then we can make any

[1:24:15] improvements to the House

[1:24:15] because the taxes $7,000 a year

[1:24:16] and I over pay for the House

[1:24:21] because guess what players

[1:24:22] literally the only place in

[1:24:22] Broward County to get 3 years

[1:24:26] ago at least you can find a

[1:24:27] place that was entered under

[1:24:27] $500,000. So we've got sick

[1:24:32] understanding that. Half of

[1:24:33] this County that happened to

[1:24:33] see. Is making less than

[1:24:37] $50,000 a year.

[1:24:38] We are being grossly over

[1:24:39] assessed as far as our property

[1:24:42] values are concerned.

[1:24:43] I think that we need to

[1:24:43] seriously reconsider every

[1:24:49] single part of the millage is

[1:24:50] being that he doesn't look like

[1:24:51] a whole lot on paper but that.

[1:24:53] 2.2 6, 5, whatever it is.

[1:24:54] Costing us an enormous amount

[1:25:00] of money.

[1:25:01] There's an extra $1000 on my

[1:25:01] tax 1000 extra dollars on my

[1:25:05] taxes for one year or 2 or 3

[1:25:06] years and just escalating and

[1:25:06] escalating escalating. I have

[1:25:12] potholes.

[1:25:12] A bunch of Section 8 renters no

[1:25:13] Street lights that the bonds up

[1:25:14] and down below.

[1:25:15] >> Running through my

[1:25:15] neighborhood at night because

[1:25:18] that's where the decided to

[1:25:19] sleep and nobody doing I've got

[1:25:20] to think about it. So

[1:25:21] guess what I'm going ask every

[1:25:21] single one of you because I

[1:25:24] e-mailed everybody who works

[1:25:28] for the city of

[1:25:29] North Lauderdale to seriously

[1:25:30] reconsider $200,000 that's

[1:25:33] going to take you parking a

[1:25:34] beautiful lights and all that

[1:25:34] just to put a little bit Street

[1:25:37] start there.

[1:25:38] I don't care about you to feel

[1:25:44] like that this needs to be

[1:25:44] seriously reassess this

[1:25:45] military to go down to like 2%

[1:25:46] because we live in the cricket

[1:25:47] what are you guys doing ok this

[1:25:47] city I would really appreciate

[1:25:50] them am sorry, I would

[1:26:01] here, they are fortunate that I

[1:26:05] have ma'am no ma'am what I am

[1:26:10] unification right and I can't

[1:26:12] put again Street like put on my

[1:26:16] Street I'm not going to do

[1:26:17] that ok with all due respect

[1:26:23] position on this matter.

[1:26:23] With all due respect and one

[1:26:24] last one last time and I've got

[1:26:27] one last time.

[1:26:33] Thank you very much. Thank you.

[1:26:34] >> this listed as vacant

[1:26:37] Street.

[1:26:37] >> We've been very rich very

[1:26:42] lenient about that.

[1:26:42] >> Where is the man a person

[1:26:43] I'm going to ask I'm going to

[1:26:45] ask if you connect it to or I'm

[1:26:45] going to be escorted very

[1:26:46] nicely. Please we don't want to

[1:26:53] get that is that worth that.

[1:26:54] There's no need for that with

[1:26:55] this as respect first of all.

[1:26:57] Let me

[1:26:58] say please a lot of people do

[1:26:58] not understand what's going

[1:27:01] when we see you guys

[1:27:02] you guys. We understand the

[1:27:03] role of the rest of the

[1:27:06] commission to represent your

[1:27:07] interests with a lot of

[1:27:08] decision we are is proposed to

[1:27:10] the commission. Tonight is it

[1:27:11] what the commission will do to

[1:27:15] set up to ask what you

[1:27:16] are asking. But it seems like a

[1:27:16] lot of people to understand how

[1:27:20] government the city proposes

[1:27:21] the commission will adopt was

[1:27:22] set up. This is not proposed by

[1:27:24] the commission. It's going to

[1:27:27] clear like that.

[1:27:28] And I understand that but that

[1:27:32] is all we ask is respect.

[1:27:33] Mutual respect we're not going

[1:27:33] to disrespect please respect

[1:27:41] everyone here and organs.

[1:27:42] Thank you very much. Correct.

[1:27:43] Michelle counter. My question

[1:27:45] actually is.

[1:27:51] Yes so it's not.

[1:27:52] So I'm I'm sorry that you

[1:27:53] address the question you're

[1:27:55] just a question addressed to

[1:27:56] the chair, okay to see that

[1:27:56] that's all that you that you

[1:27:59] and you could yeah that's fine.

[1:27:59] Yeah, I just wanted

[1:28:03] clarification on.

[1:28:07] He's 31.

[1:28:08] >> But the only so this is all

[1:28:09] what was present on the

[1:28:11] correct. Okay is is on it's

[1:28:12] about you that's what we asked

[1:28:35] you that so what.

[1:28:36] >> With his Fire. It was $1.2.

[1:28:37] Yes, ma'am. This map. Yes, you

[1:28:40] under state law. The city's

[1:28:41] could have a fire assessment.

[1:28:45] And so the

[1:28:46] fire assessment basically

[1:28:47] covers the fire portion of the

[1:28:50] fire rescue operation. All

[1:28:51] right so the city hires a

[1:28:52] private consultant that doesn't

[1:28:55] evaluation looks like called

[1:29:01] And so on and determines a.

[1:29:02] A parade percentage that is

[1:29:03] fire and the percentage that is

[1:29:06] rescue. The fire assessment

[1:29:07] that will be dealt with later

[1:29:07] on today in the meeting deals

[1:29:11] with the fire part of the fire

[1:29:12] rescue department archive.

[1:29:16] The transfer

[1:29:17] from the general fund to the

[1:29:17] Fire Department for the 1.2

[1:29:20] million dollars covers the

[1:29:23] rescue portion of the fire

[1:29:24] rescue department because by

[1:29:24] state law all we can have a

[1:29:29] fire rescue assessment. And so

[1:29:30] the general fund pays for the

[1:29:30] taxpayers pay for the rescue

[1:29:33] portion.

[1:29:41] And this is separate from.

[1:29:41] So that the fire assessment is

[1:29:42] not out of the lore and so out

[1:29:47] of the general fund out

[1:29:48] of the 46 $47,000 by 46 million

[1:29:49] dollar budget this year.

[1:29:52] One point to that you don't go

[1:29:52] to the fire Department to make

[1:29:55] them whole. Ok so you.

[1:29:56] >> Actually that the new test

[1:29:57] from that to here.

[1:29:58] >> Yes, so we'll take that from

[1:29:59] the general fund transfer to

[1:30:00] the fire so they have a

[1:30:03] complete budget.

[1:30:08] >> My next question

[1:30:09] I guess the same page where you

[1:30:10] speak of the police contract

[1:30:17] increases up to me and a half.

[1:30:18] And I know you said you said

[1:30:19] twice. He's been twice. But

[1:30:23] then on page 22 we do.

[1:30:23] With other departments with

[1:30:24] doing their presentation.

[1:30:31] Effect the scene at.

[1:30:32] >> Department increase of all

[1:30:32] yes and what has happened our

[1:30:35] copy contract with the

[1:30:36] sheriff's office. As of OCTOBER

[1:30:36] first

[1:30:37] 2026, we'll be it's our new

[1:30:37] contract Commission recently

[1:30:43] entered into the new contract.

[1:30:44] The additional part of that is

[1:30:52] that the state

[1:30:53] of Florida and if its infinite

[1:30:54] wisdom decided to increase the

[1:30:58] amount of retirement pay

[1:30:59] or percentage that every city

[1:31:00] or County has to pay for every

[1:31:02] police officer

[1:31:03] or firefighter. In 10 the frs

[1:31:07] the Florida retirement system

[1:31:07] this year. The cat this state

[1:31:08] increase that contribution.

[1:31:13] And they dumped him 100% onto

[1:31:14] the cities and counties.

[1:31:16] So a firefighter in

[1:31:16] North Lauderdale. Or police

[1:31:17] officer even though they work

[1:31:25] for the sheriffs are right they

[1:31:26] pay 3% of their pay goes into

[1:31:27] their retirement. The city is

[1:31:30] contributing now about 35 36%.

[1:31:30] And so if you look at that the

[1:31:31] other way right for general

[1:31:37] employee. Now police in on fire

[1:31:37] in North Florida. We contribute

[1:31:38] to 40% and so it's a big

[1:31:44] difference, but it's again it's

[1:31:44] an unfunded mandate from the

[1:31:45] state stop arm to the city and

[1:31:46] we have to say so it's not in

[1:31:47] addition to this to me you know

[1:31:48] it's tough to do that. So this

[1:31:52] will mean you have with you.

[1:31:56] >> Its terminal because we

[1:31:57] recently received the on the

[1:31:58] difference for the frs

[1:32:01] increase. And my final the

[1:32:11] question was. A 61.

[1:32:12] Well you said you did half of

[1:32:15] it. They spoke on.

[1:32:21] So you know this stunt.

[1:32:21] And on the line and the ones

[1:32:22] that are not included in the

[1:32:23] yes ma'am okay, this whole case

[1:32:24] is not included in the proposed

[1:32:29] budget.

[1:32:29] >> But the very top line.

[1:32:34] Tending to the wartime purpose

[1:32:35] and that was not one of those

[1:32:35] looked at was not as much.

[1:32:40] So say this to me and.

[1:32:41] >> He's not in the budget.

[1:32:41] But that's not what it was that

[1:32:42] she said

[1:32:43] wasn't much. She went on a list

[1:32:44] of them and just started with

[1:32:46] one mean for the City Hall and

[1:32:49] then she went down

[1:32:50] the line. We're sorry for what

[1:32:51] you because we were voting on

[1:32:53] the general from the garden

[1:32:54] like

[1:33:00] the mileage.

[1:33:01] >> And then that one for the

[1:33:02] fire multi purpose that belongs

[1:33:05] to the fire fund so that's

[1:33:06] access right excluded that from

[1:33:07] the presentation, but again

[1:33:11] just like the second one that

[1:33:11] says utilities that line

[1:33:12] because that would come out of

[1:33:17] the utilities assessment.

[1:33:20] That the general fund. We can

[1:33:21] talk about and so MISTER Mayor

[1:33:21] if I could just quickly from

[1:33:28] just to address a couple the

[1:33:29] first thing it was brought up

[1:33:29] by at least 2 speakers about

[1:33:33] the appraisal of

[1:33:34] their property. As we shared we

[1:33:34] have the property appraiser

[1:33:37] here for a town

[1:33:38] hall meeting that was

[1:33:39] advertised to all the residents

[1:33:41] in North Lauderdale. The

[1:33:42] property appraiser told

[1:33:42] everyone right the city does

[1:33:47] not appraise property. The

[1:33:48] property appraiser raises

[1:33:48] property. Property appraiser

[1:33:53] was very clear if you have an

[1:33:54] issue with feel your property

[1:33:55] value is too high. You need to

[1:33:58] reach out to the property

[1:33:59] appraiser's office. They will

[1:33:59] tell you what you need to do

[1:34:01] have to do that your property

[1:34:01] reappraisal again the city

[1:34:02] doesn't appraise property.

[1:34:06] That's done by the Broward

[1:34:07] County property appraiser

[1:34:08] MISTER Carr gave his phone

[1:34:12] number out too probably about 2

[1:34:13] dozen people that were here

[1:34:13] that day to call him personally

[1:34:16] so he can look into those and

[1:34:17] anybody that wants we can

[1:34:19] provide MISTER

[1:34:20] Cars information so that you

[1:34:21] can call his office to how to

[1:34:26] get your property whether it's

[1:34:27] commercial or residential real

[1:34:28] praise. The next thing I just

[1:34:32] want to address that you if you

[1:34:33] look at our general fund

[1:34:33] expenditures in fiscal year

[1:34:40] 2024 it was 42.6 million

[1:34:40] dollars. Today. If you

[1:34:41] fast-forward to 2027 we are

[1:34:46] proposing 48 million dollars.

[1:34:47] So it is a four-million dollar

[1:34:48] increase it is a reduction of

[1:34:52] 6 million dollars over last

[1:34:53] year. So we have looked every

[1:34:53] dusing the project and so I as

[1:34:59] the mayor said.

[1:34:59] The commission tonight in their

[1:35:00] first hearing. This is your

[1:35:03] first opportunity to vote on

[1:35:04] what the millage rate will be

[1:35:07] for fiscal year, 2627.

[1:35:08] The number you give tonight

[1:35:08] whether whatever that number is

[1:35:13] we will then go back and we

[1:35:18] will work to redo our budget

[1:35:19] once again. And we will present

[1:35:20] to you again on SEPTEMBER 28th.

[1:35:22] A final budget at the mileage

[1:35:23] that you're going to propose

[1:35:26] tonight.

[1:35:27] And that that final millage

[1:35:28] will have some views possibly

[1:35:31] of reserves for additional cuts

[1:35:31] to get to where we need to be.

[1:35:35] Thank you. MISTER.

[1:35:42] Ok thank I see one more person.

[1:35:43] Okay okay on that means how

[1:35:43] many more I need to speak on

[1:35:46] this item. I don't want to ok

[1:35:46] that's it

[1:35:49] thank you.

[1:35:50] >> Good evening. Mayor, Rick

[1:35:51] Meehan vice mayor commissioners

[1:35:53] giving senior managers say

[1:35:54] Clark to see a tight so I MISS

[1:35:55] You guys up. Good evening with

[1:36:00] a look right 3.24 Southwest

[1:36:01] 8th Avenue. And I just out my

[1:36:05] question

[1:36:05] very brief. I know a lot of

[1:36:06] races do not know this but our

[1:36:10] property values have gone up

[1:36:11] and the question I axing and I

[1:36:12] think or is it actually acts

[1:36:15] with that question. If our

[1:36:16] property values have gone up

[1:36:17] breaking my niece from that and

[1:36:20] we're raising

[1:36:20] you're the proposed millage

[1:36:24] rate is 7.6 5%.

[1:36:24] The question I simply ask is

[1:36:25] why is the additional on top of

[1:36:27] raising our taxes the

[1:36:27] assessments that you guys will

[1:36:28] talk about as well as getting

[1:36:34] the monies from the values of

[1:36:35] our properties why then are we

[1:36:36] now still going why then are we

[1:36:38] still having to go into our

[1:36:39] reserves to balance a budget to

[1:36:39] pay our everyday operational

[1:36:41] bills. That said thank you

[1:36:44] thank you.

[1:36:49] >> You MAY see some of MISTER

[1:36:50] Mayor arm. So basically what

[1:36:55] we're looking at and in the use

[1:36:56] of reserves is we're we're

[1:36:57] trying to greatly reduce the

[1:36:59] dependency on reserves moving

[1:37:00] forward as I stated earlier the

[1:37:00] great unknown, because what

[1:37:03] happens on NOVEMBER, 3rd with

[1:37:07] property

[1:37:07] tax reform, their property

[1:37:11] taxes if property tax passes

[1:37:12] in Florida. Right the city will

[1:37:12] lose about 7 million dollars

[1:37:14] we've started the process along

[1:37:15] with most of the other cities

[1:37:15] throughout the state. I'm

[1:37:21] trying to refine our budget

[1:37:22] so that we are in a position to

[1:37:22] be able to continue to offer

[1:37:25] services depending on what

[1:37:34] happens with property

[1:37:35] we propose using $272,000 in

[1:37:35] reserves at 7.6 5. Tonight the

[1:37:41] commission could say we wanted

[1:37:41] to be 7.6 5 with no use of

[1:37:42] reserves. We will come back

[1:37:46] with no reserves. I think next

[1:37:47] budget when you pass your final

[1:37:48] budget. You could say 7 with no

[1:37:53] reserves and we will do

[1:37:54] everything possible to get to

[1:37:55] that number and we will explain

[1:37:58] to the commission. How we got

[1:37:59] to that number and the impacts

[1:37:59] that MAY have eventually on

[1:38:09] city services so. We are trying

[1:38:10] to be as. Careful as possible

[1:38:10] with the use of the reserves.

[1:38:14] And that's the answer whether

[1:38:15] again, whether it's like

[1:38:16] they're not we're trying to get

[1:38:21] a respectful answer to the

[1:38:21] question. Why we're using some

[1:38:22] reserves whether or not the

[1:38:24] final decision of the

[1:38:25] commission is to preserve do

[1:38:26] not cause a commission

[1:38:28] decision.

[1:38:31] Thank you thank you.

[1:38:34] Next speaker.

[1:38:35] >> Hi my name is rana comicon

[1:38:40] 2040 winner circle.

[1:38:41] I just have to a couple of

[1:38:42] quick things one I know I've

[1:38:45] been here when you guys have

[1:38:46] discussed making your car now a

[1:38:47] destination for people want to

[1:38:49] come. I've been a small

[1:38:50] business owner I police

[1:38:53] commercial property, I know

[1:38:54] how much those rates changing

[1:38:54] every year can impact small

[1:38:58] businesses specifically in

[1:38:59] times where discretionary

[1:39:00] spending as well. When you look

[1:39:04] at raising taxes on any group

[1:39:11] of people when you're for

[1:39:11] real estate, those small

[1:39:12] businesses feel that impact and

[1:39:13] they MAY leave the city of

[1:39:14] North Lauderdale. Making it far

[1:39:14] less of a destination instead

[1:39:17] of more as I believe the

[1:39:27] commission is working towards.

[1:39:28] I wanted to know. This slide

[1:39:28] that's up here now. Some of the

[1:39:29] items that are that were

[1:39:30] submitted after the proposed

[1:39:30] budget was balanced how does

[1:39:35] that affect what the millage

[1:39:36] rate looks like. When those get

[1:39:36] factored into the to the

[1:39:41] budget.

[1:39:42] I look at budgets for

[1:39:43] everything in my job and my

[1:39:48] home for my community and I see

[1:39:49] a lot of things and looking

[1:39:49] hair where decisions might need

[1:39:56] to be made whether something is

[1:39:56] a want or need. I do want to do

[1:39:57] a lot of things around my house

[1:39:58] as PRESIDENT Of my H.O.A. I

[1:39:59] want to do a lot of things

[1:40:00] around my community. But I

[1:40:04] don't always have the funding

[1:40:04] for those things so I ask you

[1:40:05] to please consider what is

[1:40:09] really necessary now and what

[1:40:10] maybe we can start partially

[1:40:10] funding. For later on down the

[1:40:13] road. Thank you very much.

[1:40:18] Thank you.

[1:40:19] >> scene.

[1:40:22] >> No

[1:40:25] >> speakers.

[1:40:32] >> We

[1:40:32] >> bring it back to the

[1:40:39] commission for questions.

[1:40:39] We've got to the nation budget

[1:40:40] please before we go ocean to

[1:40:44] motion.

[1:40:45] You're recognize Let me be

[1:40:49] fair.

[1:40:50] Right now my question for you

[1:40:50] Sir I okay commissioner yes,

[1:40:54] good. I think you know.

[1:40:55] >> o one has to say first off

[1:40:58] thank everyone for coming

[1:40:59] out tonight. It's kind of good

[1:41:00] to see a one-year night

[1:41:02] snapping in. So that you guys

[1:41:04] are 10 of

[1:41:05] them alert. The intention, but

[1:41:06] I do want to surrender 8 that

[1:41:09] that 8.4 was a proposed budget.

[1:41:10] Because of the key parents in

[1:41:10] the all sitting it. And that's

[1:41:17] that's what you guys are doing.

[1:41:17] A couple of course, but Pope or

[1:41:18] post so to some stand as

[1:41:27] opposed to going towards us.

[1:41:27] Also a few things that I want

[1:41:28] ex no one on page 31 in this is

[1:41:35] a home we have hometown program

[1:41:35] hero program. Just a little bit

[1:41:36] more about that a few plants

[1:41:42] questions about that.

[1:41:43] >> So that is a home rehab and

[1:41:43] hometown hero program it's a

[1:41:51] program that the commission

[1:41:52] staff was last year. The home

[1:41:53] rehab helps. Residents. Make

[1:41:58] repairs to

[1:41:58] their homes. Depending on their

[1:41:59] qualifications it could be for

[1:42:02] a new air-conditioner it could

[1:42:03] be to expand their driveway.

[1:42:03] It could be for a new roof, it

[1:42:10] could be for impact windows.

[1:42:11] And so that's what the home

[1:42:11] rehab part is the hometown.

[1:42:17] Hearing program was a.

[1:42:18] Possible program that would

[1:42:18] allow the city to buy

[1:42:21] distressed properties.

[1:42:22] Renovate those distressed

[1:42:27] properties and then

[1:42:28] sell them. To police officers

[1:42:28] firefighters, school teachers

[1:42:38] are some or saw you it in the

[1:42:38] hopes of helping turn around a

[1:42:45] and in general. That is a

[1:42:46] program that. We tried to get a

[1:42:47] appropriation money for the

[1:42:50] program was widely received.

[1:42:51] By our state legislators on

[1:42:51] both sides of the aisle.

[1:42:54] However, it was not something

[1:42:55] that in the end was funded by

[1:42:56] the state so it is something

[1:42:59] that we will look out possibly

[1:43:00] for federal appropriation or an

[1:43:01] additional state appropriation

[1:43:04] to help fund that as well but

[1:43:05] that's what that money is for.

[1:43:05] So we're looking for grant

[1:43:11] money for that we will look

[1:43:11] for. Additional assessment or

[1:43:14] choose

[1:43:15] me additional appropriation

[1:43:15] either federal or state not so

[1:43:21] much Grant because the state

[1:43:22] has a program that also right

[1:43:22] that they they have the my

[1:43:24] Florida safe program and they

[1:43:25] also have their own hometown

[1:43:26] hero program. The state this is

[1:43:35] designed more for more water.

[1:43:36] >> questions acts on Saturday.

[1:43:37] If we were to cut some of these

[1:43:39] Grant out that

[1:43:40] we're given kind of going to

[1:43:43] want more so like the previous.

[1:43:43] The commission is got to be

[1:43:46] more tighter

[1:43:47] less spending what would the

[1:43:48] kind of get one of

[1:43:49] assistance from if we were not

[1:43:50] going to come just acts and

[1:43:54] just because the next Saturday.

[1:43:55] MISTER

[1:43:58] Mayor so.

[1:44:01] >> If this city work to

[1:44:02] home rehab program, I know we

[1:44:04] also have some

[1:44:05] money from I see dbj which is

[1:44:05] the community development block

[1:44:08] grant that residents would

[1:44:11] still be able to

[1:44:12] apply for absent that they

[1:44:15] would have to apply through the

[1:44:16] state program. I say Florida

[1:44:17] program there was a program

[1:44:19] that we shared

[1:44:20] air earlier. In the year for

[1:44:25] seniors through the

[1:44:26] area agency a Broward County

[1:44:27] where that money for home

[1:44:30] repairs for seniors in certain

[1:44:31] qualifications and so residents

[1:44:31] would have to turn to those

[1:44:32] programs

[1:44:34] for funding.

[1:44:35] >> And one more just I want to

[1:44:39] just touch

[1:44:40] our discretionary funding just

[1:44:41] a little bit. I leave the

[1:44:43] conversation

[1:44:44] by Sen, most of the time people

[1:44:44] even as part of 70 that that

[1:44:47] money is something that kind of

[1:44:52] personally get.

[1:44:53] But can you just explain the

[1:44:53] discretionary and even history

[1:44:56] out of the 1500 comes in

[1:44:57] display that's a little bit for

[1:45:03] everyone. So MISTER

[1:45:04] >> that discretionary money was

[1:45:04] originally part of the city's

[1:45:07] waste Management contract.

[1:45:08] To go all the way back into the

[1:45:11] weeds they

[1:45:12] had originally here Mark $7500

[1:45:13] to go towards events and it was

[1:45:19] just a blanket term advance.

[1:45:20] At the time. The prior

[1:45:21] Commission not this commission.

[1:45:23] I suffered go towards the

[1:45:28] commission to use for.

[1:45:29] District of and score to help

[1:45:29] not-for-profits or other groups

[1:45:37] and so that was the policy that

[1:45:38] the commission established and

[1:45:38] it has to be used for public

[1:45:42] purpose. So you can't just help

[1:45:42] somebody make a car payment or

[1:45:43] you know by the refrigerator.

[1:45:47] The money doesn't go to you all

[1:45:48] if there is a formal process to

[1:45:48] request the funding. It has to

[1:45:53] be verified that the funding

[1:45:58] needs the proper uses

[1:45:58] has outlined and that the next

[1:45:59] the last step would be that the

[1:46:03] commissioner or the elected

[1:46:04] official has the money still

[1:46:05] available and then the money is

[1:46:10] is is is provided.

[1:46:11] >> So with propose giving us

[1:46:12] the 5,000 to see we're going to

[1:46:17] start a 500 and we spend a

[1:46:17] student to 1500. MISTER Mayor

[1:46:21] we still currently

[1:46:22] still collect the $1500 7500

[1:46:23] from waste Management

[1:46:26] so correct.

[1:46:26] >> All right that's all my

[1:46:27] questions from right now thank

[1:46:29] you thank you commissioner,

[1:46:30] thank city commissioner you're

[1:46:33] recognized.

[1:46:35] Thank you so much for

[1:46:35] your time. I want to say thank

[1:46:36] you to all the staff for such a

[1:46:41] cruel presentation tonight.

[1:46:41] Thank you. There's several

[1:46:46] questions that

[1:46:47] you have. We mentioned this

[1:46:47] special event contract. What

[1:46:52] exactly is that and do we have

[1:46:53] an amount that we actually set

[1:46:57] aside for the special events.

[1:46:57] >> So this special event

[1:47:01] contract was a

[1:47:02] position that. Last budget year

[1:47:02] the commission created a

[1:47:08] special event person within

[1:47:08] the parks and Recreation

[1:47:09] department. That was turned

[1:47:17] into a contract position.

[1:47:18] And the goal or the vision is

[1:47:19] that prior to that we had a

[1:47:25] special event contract her son

[1:47:25] that work on a percentage of an

[1:47:26] event if they were planning a

[1:47:31] $10,000 event for

[1:47:32] the city. Their their costs was

[1:47:35] 20%. So they MAY $2000.

[1:47:36] And so and the goal is to about

[1:47:44] $76,000

[1:47:44] is too eliminate $50,000 and it

[1:47:45] goes towards. And then the

[1:47:51] leaving the $26,000 for that.

[1:47:51] 20% percentage. When special

[1:47:52] events are when somebody is

[1:47:55] needed to assess with a special

[1:47:55] that whether it's a special

[1:47:56] event that the commissioner

[1:47:59] party on through their

[1:48:00] discretionary funds for whether

[1:48:01] it's a special grant that the

[1:48:03] city is putting on okay.

[1:48:07] >> Of the

[1:48:08] actually I can because I think

[1:48:08] there's a lot of events that we

[1:48:13] to host. At City Hall that we

[1:48:13] probably can look at. And also

[1:48:17] MAY

[1:48:18] be collaborating and because I

[1:48:19] know what we do have these

[1:48:23] events we have to

[1:48:24] pay staff. Police going cetera,

[1:48:24] so that's something we want to

[1:48:27] look into. I would like to know

[1:48:31] if there is a way of getting.

[1:48:32] A contrast between these last

[1:48:32] history for the last 2 years

[1:48:36] versus now how much we've

[1:48:37] actually spent from the

[1:48:37] reserve. I would like to know

[1:48:44] that and now I know a lot of

[1:48:44] this is based on NOVEMBER 3rd

[1:48:45] we have the property tax reform

[1:48:52] right.

[1:48:53] And so I know a lot will change

[1:48:53] depending on how a vote to call

[1:48:56] on NOVEMBER.

[1:48:57] A 3rd. And thank you Steph so

[1:48:57] much because over the years you

[1:49:00] guys have don't pick a very

[1:49:06] sleek budget.

[1:49:07] And I want to say this I'm not

[1:49:07] picking them. You know trying

[1:49:11] to be this our ball tonight but

[1:49:12] we need to understand as I see

[1:49:13] that we do someone here.

[1:49:17] You know taking content this is

[1:49:17] not content this is real life

[1:49:18] these are real residents and

[1:49:21] what we put out there matters

[1:49:22] right so we want to be very

[1:49:22] very careful and

[1:49:23] we're not trying to make this a

[1:49:24] look a certain way because many

[1:49:31] of us are concerned because

[1:49:32] of course the economy has

[1:49:32] changed. I mean like a lot of

[1:49:35] the

[1:49:35] residents today have kicks

[1:49:36] budget civic So we would just

[1:49:39] want to make sure that whatever

[1:49:40] we put out on

[1:49:41] social media that is actually

[1:49:42] showing exactly what's

[1:49:47] happening in this home tonight.

[1:49:47] I want to say that the other

[1:49:54] thing is.

[1:49:55] A lot of these you know event

[1:49:55] and of course know the last

[1:50:00] time we talked about because

[1:50:01] I was blamed for something I

[1:50:01] said on the days that could

[1:50:04] prevent people from coming out

[1:50:05] right.

[1:50:06] When we have these events we

[1:50:07] just want to make sure that

[1:50:12] because historically speaking.

[1:50:13] North lot of guys see this all

[1:50:19] the time we're spoiled.

[1:50:20] North Ogden isn't used certain

[1:50:21] things and so we want to make

[1:50:23] sure that he just makes sense.

[1:50:27] And it was

[1:50:28] the PRESIDENT That you know she

[1:50:28] mentioned a certain time I'm

[1:50:33] not going to reiterate, but you

[1:50:34] mentioned, but we are look.

[1:50:35] As that as far as I'm going to

[1:50:38] go with that and so I think

[1:50:38] there's a lot of things that we

[1:50:42] can.

[1:50:43] Look at because this and we've

[1:50:44] been talking about this budget

[1:50:49] for a while and so there's a

[1:50:50] lot of things on here that I

[1:50:50] think we can just kind of

[1:50:55] spouting elaborate on as far as

[1:50:56] spending where this money is

[1:50:58] going what have we the

[1:50:59] comparison again. From spending

[1:51:00] from the last 3 years 4 years

[1:51:05] the history and now how much

[1:51:05] have we increase have heard

[1:51:06] right you know when I came in

[1:51:08] yes, we are looking to

[1:51:09] decrease. But I have a problem

[1:51:10] with some of the things that

[1:51:14] we're trying to decrease France

[1:51:15] because training and travel and

[1:51:15] for our staff they need

[1:51:18] training and in order to train

[1:51:19] in these different areas they

[1:51:19] need to travel so there's a lot

[1:51:22] of things that I feel as if

[1:51:23] this commission does not need

[1:51:24] to is that it really does not

[1:51:30] necessary and I think you can

[1:51:30] go back to the drawing ball and

[1:51:31] look at this a little too again

[1:51:37] thank the staff of such a great

[1:51:38] But I do think that we can do

[1:51:38] better and again I know that we

[1:51:44] are. We have a sleek budget.

[1:51:45] We cannot compare ourselves to

[1:51:46] coral Springs or any other the

[1:51:50] sister cities around us,

[1:51:51] however there has been a lot is

[1:51:51] coming these past a couple

[1:51:54] years that my opinion and

[1:51:54] because of Paxon talking to

[1:51:55] staff as well. I don't feel it

[1:51:57] was necessary. Thank you so

[1:52:01] much.

[1:52:01] Thank you any other

[1:52:07] commissioner.

[1:52:08] The chair recognizes that

[1:52:13] commissioner. Thank you.

[1:52:14] >> Finance and all the

[1:52:14] departments that are involved

[1:52:17] in this budget done and we have

[1:52:17] worked didn't really take you

[1:52:24] for a

[1:52:25] long time. And this same to

[1:52:26] Martin made a point that I

[1:52:28] completely agree with as it

[1:52:29] relates to recreational trail

[1:52:30] because for trend is very

[1:52:32] important that the staff knows

[1:52:36] what they're

[1:52:37] doing that. They're dealing

[1:52:38] with children and the safety of

[1:52:44] children that the laws are very

[1:52:45] strict as it relates to

[1:52:45] children so I would like to see

[1:52:50] that time so

[1:52:51] funds but put back in where

[1:52:52] they can at training and

[1:53:01] seminars

[1:53:01] increase in it so that they

[1:53:02] stop I'm you know get exactly

[1:53:07] what they need to get so my

[1:53:07] proposal as it relates to all

[1:53:12] this is that

[1:53:12] we as commissioners and Mayor

[1:53:13] we have a duty to the city to

[1:53:17] the residence and everyone is

[1:53:18] feeling the pinch is hard for

[1:53:18] everyone so I recommend that

[1:53:27] we're going to show to be

[1:53:28] should give up back 5% off our

[1:53:29] Saturday to have to balance the

[1:53:35] budget. I'm hoping that.

[1:53:36] Although other MS. See this as

[1:53:41] some way we can help.

[1:53:41] Our residents. I hope everybody

[1:53:53] agrees with that I agree

[1:53:54] you don't Commission ought us

[1:53:54] of ice cream if you have

[1:53:55] anything to say

[1:53:57] yes please.

[1:54:02] >> Yeah, you're a

[1:54:02] I just want to say the mill

[1:54:03] rate. I would like to propose

[1:54:10] to to to to to keep us one 0.4.

[1:54:11] Set to roll in oils because

[1:54:11] like I speak with the but if

[1:54:19] the residents and. And not know

[1:54:20] what is happy at all you know

[1:54:20] if we go up one point. Well,

[1:54:27] that if we go up a percent.

[1:54:27] 7 points. 6, 5, It's going to

[1:54:36] be but a $100. Her.

[1:54:37] Every resident. Based on

[1:54:42] $400,000. So. Out there.

[1:54:43] The people to not be at all if

[1:54:44] we go if we move that number at

[1:54:51] all so.

[1:54:51] We we I understand I've been

[1:54:52] living here the city for almost

[1:54:55] 40 years.

[1:54:56] 40 years and I understand I

[1:54:57] mean I understand the residents

[1:55:02] and I talked to a lot of

[1:55:03] residents of them and and I

[1:55:04] believe we should move that

[1:55:07] number that

[1:55:08] >> it's been a $100. I'm a

[1:55:13] year.

[1:55:13] >> Base it on 400,000 others

[1:55:20] doing you know property.

[1:55:20] Everybody spoken out them and

[1:55:21] see Thank you very MISTER

[1:55:23] Manager.

[1:55:30] What is the

[1:55:31] approximate revenue difference

[1:55:32] between 7.6 500 males. And the

[1:55:34] 7.4.

[1:55:40] Sure if all that's

[1:55:41] on us and if the commission

[1:55:42] were to adopt 7.4 tonight.

[1:55:47] What adjustments would be

[1:55:47] necessary. MISTER Mayor this

[1:55:47] slide

[1:55:50] before you.

[1:55:57] >> Shows that

[1:55:58] 7.4 Mills. All right, we would

[1:55:59] collect 19 million 965 compared

[1:56:02] to 20.6 million. So we would

[1:56:08] collect. Alright, 600,000 loss.

[1:56:08] It would using today's budget

[1:56:09] right and if we cut nothing us

[1:56:14] out of the budget. It

[1:56:14] would require use of $674,000

[1:56:15] out of fund balance in order to

[1:56:21] give you a balanced budget.

[1:56:21] If the direction from the

[1:56:22] commission tonight is to roll

[1:56:27] the budget from 6 7.6 5 to 7.4.

[1:56:28] The next question we would ask

[1:56:29] is where are you comfortable

[1:56:35] with use of fund balance.

[1:56:36] So that we can finalize and

[1:56:36] give you back a budget at the

[1:56:40] end SEPTEMBER are you okay with

[1:56:41] the $675,000 do you want that

[1:56:46] lowered.

[1:56:47] It requires because this is

[1:56:48] going to require forfeits note

[1:56:51] of the elected officials and so

[1:56:51] I'd like to get that as well so

[1:56:52] that when we give you the

[1:56:56] budget when we meet again on

[1:56:57] SEPTEMBER 28th. We're giving

[1:57:01] you exactly what you want.

[1:57:02] >> Okay, yeah, I understand

[1:57:02] that we can't just look at cuts

[1:57:07] like to see I know that

[1:57:08] government. Should be able

[1:57:15] first look carefully at.

[1:57:16] Efficiencies expenditures in

[1:57:17] attendance and revenues.

[1:57:21] Before asking reason to.

[1:57:22] Before we go to that direction.

[1:57:23] So with that said there's so

[1:57:27] many other options to tell you

[1:57:28] would like to explore to see

[1:57:28] how can you can get it got to

[1:57:31] get that done.

[1:57:36] Because I really support

[1:57:37] the what the vice mayor

[1:57:39] mansion, upper 7 quick

[1:57:40] for males. But while we still

[1:57:40] maintain essential services

[1:57:44] that we need and directed at

[1:57:50] mistress to bring us. Balanced

[1:57:50] budget consistent with that

[1:57:51] rate and finance outside social

[1:57:54] resources, does it sit there.

[1:57:55] And we've got time to to do

[1:58:00] that.

[1:58:05] I heard the presentation.

[1:58:06] Ice here I see the numbers with

[1:58:10] the show here.

[1:58:11] And most importantly we heard

[1:58:12] from the resident, we and not

[1:58:15] just tonight, but with before

[1:58:15] and that's what explained we

[1:58:16] have a lot of presence here and

[1:58:18] then I'm

[1:58:19] good at people heading up us to

[1:58:20] hear to understand too that

[1:58:22] everybody and said it was going

[1:58:23] on, but to understand the role

[1:58:28] of everyone.

[1:58:29] And I know the city important

[1:58:29] obligations in port and

[1:58:38] projects that we have ahead

[1:58:39] of us. One of the page was

[1:58:40] showing a other PRESIDENT That

[1:58:43] expense to that on the budget

[1:58:44] was the someone has a question

[1:58:45] about that all these need to be

[1:58:48] answered.

[1:58:49] And we still must continue

[1:58:50] providing public safety.

[1:58:58] Infrastructure that is very

[1:58:59] important. The parks. A program

[1:59:03] for youth and seniors. The U.S.

[1:59:04] Is services. Before I move on

[1:59:10] to the motion that I just want

[1:59:10] to know how 1, 1, when

[1:59:11] PRESIDENT Mission that area.

[1:59:17] How did we get from.

[1:59:17] I believe 40,000 to 60,000 foot

[1:59:23] par Casey pardon to 200,000.

[1:59:24] For the landings to go all

[1:59:25] which is up to 2 minute do I

[1:59:27] don't understand that. If we

[1:59:33] can get that response first.

[1:59:34] >> Sure let landings Park is a

[1:59:35] grant that the city applied for

[1:59:42] it is federal land and water

[1:59:42] conservation fund Grant.

[1:59:45] And our match for background.

[1:59:46] It's a it was a 3 million

[1:59:51] dollar grant if we get

[1:59:52] the grant. Our share of that

[1:59:52] will 50% so we would pay 1.5

[1:59:57] million. And this state share

[2:00:00] would be 1.5 million if there's

[2:00:01] any overruns to the project it

[2:00:02] would then come out of the

[2:00:06] general fund for the city we

[2:00:07] have to pay the additional

[2:00:08] because it's you can't mandate.

[2:00:16] Con you know great want to

[2:00:16] apply for and so right now.

[2:00:17] There's no money set aside in

[2:00:19] the. Upcoming fiscal year for

[2:00:20] that because we still have not

[2:00:20] still have not got the

[2:00:27] agreement says we've shared

[2:00:27] with the commission from the

[2:00:28] federal government so until we

[2:00:31] get a contract.

[2:00:32] 4 the City Attorney's Office to

[2:00:37] review it for the commission to

[2:00:38] enter into. That project is

[2:00:38] just on the wish list, the

[2:00:40] same. If you look down on that

[2:00:41] initial also see have to point

[2:00:42] Park is also a 3 million

[2:00:47] dollar. The 3 million dollar

[2:00:48] grant that again same thing

[2:00:49] it's a landmark of ram one 0.5

[2:00:52] million from the federal

[2:00:52] government. One 0.5 million

[2:00:53] from the city and again that

[2:00:57] one was awarded, but again we

[2:00:57] haven't gotten the contract.

[2:00:58] Yeah, and so those are still in

[2:01:00] limbo as to whether or not we

[2:01:00] will need or even got

[2:01:01] contracts. From the federal

[2:01:06] government for that we

[2:01:06] certainly hope we do. But we

[2:01:07] haven't gotten those contracts,

[2:01:10] but those are not in. This

[2:01:11] current year's or Tuesday.

[2:01:12] They're not in the proposed

[2:01:15] budget for next year. Those are

[2:01:16] an outlier years because by the

[2:01:17] time we get the contract enter

[2:01:19] into it and then start going

[2:01:19] out for bids. It will take a

[2:01:20] whole year before all those

[2:01:25] contracts could be awarded.

[2:01:26] >> All right, thank you very

[2:01:31] much now has

[2:01:34] I'm going to make MAY has been

[2:01:35] wrongly falsely accused of

[2:01:40] raising taxes.

[2:01:41] Rightfully so the mayor is

[2:01:41] making make the motion there

[2:01:51] I'm making a motion to amend

[2:01:51] to propose operating millage

[2:01:55] rate from 76 7.6. 500 to 7.4.

[2:01:55] Males and approve the minutes

[2:02:00] ordinance on first reading.

[2:02:00] As amended and subject to all

[2:02:01] required secretary calculation

[2:02:07] and called for an amendment

[2:02:07] MADAM Attorney could you

[2:02:08] confirm if this a proper motion

[2:02:09] please.

[2:02:09] >> The motion is Popeye is just

[2:02:17] changing.

[2:02:18] >> The 3. Which was which we

[2:02:29] read as at 7, 6, 5, Mills.

[2:02:30] Or 7.6. 5 deals, you know put

[2:02:31] $1000 of taxable excess

[2:02:35] property value to 7.4 mil.

[2:02:36] That would be the change that

[2:02:36] would be noted by the city

[2:02:39] clerk okay.

[2:02:40] >> If it's yes his second okay,

[2:02:41] thank you MADAM Clerk, the real

[2:02:43] culprits.

[2:02:55] she's as yes we're not finding

[2:02:56] here matter fighting this and

[2:02:58] just want to make sure that

[2:03:01] this is.

[2:03:12] ourselves and what we are here

[2:03:12] for weeks about credit anything

[2:03:15] right here.

[2:03:22] >> We're here to do the

[2:03:22] right thing. Vice mayor took

[2:03:23] holes, but he did not see never

[2:03:24] said a motion he said take it

[2:03:24] right we're on the same page it

[2:03:25] doesn't matter much if you want

[2:03:27] to if you want to make the

[2:03:28] motion go ahead, it doesn't

[2:03:29] matter what makes

[2:03:30] the motion because what it's

[2:03:31] about is want to reduce it from

[2:03:37] I could even go lower than that

[2:03:37] it doesn't matter who makes a

[2:03:38] motion. The motion is to be

[2:03:42] with a man did I just made an

[2:03:43] amendment to that simple were

[2:03:43] on the same page now we are

[2:03:46] honest we also want to

[2:03:47] make sure this is fine by him

[2:03:48] that's fine let's be on the

[2:03:49] same page just that this year

[2:03:50] we're on the same page is just

[2:03:57] because I sing kind of 57 here.

[2:03:57] >> And I would make sure that

[2:03:58] content. What is being said and

[2:04:01] done here is is is the

[2:04:01] language. The energy everything

[2:04:02] that residents are being safe

[2:04:03] who they are and we're not

[2:04:03] trying to put content out here

[2:04:04] trying to make it seem like

[2:04:07] it's something else. So that's

[2:04:13] all.

[2:07:47] be revised to meet the new

[2:07:47] millage rate that you gave okay

[2:07:50] all right and potentially new

[2:07:52] assessments

[2:07:53] as well because the budget

[2:07:54] covers everything so sure

[2:07:58] depending on what you do an

[2:07:59] assessment tonight as well that

[2:07:59] will be the final item that

[2:08:02] comes back to you. Okay.

[2:08:10] >> All right

[2:08:10] we've got to have that present

[2:08:11] position right now right.

[2:08:14] It will you just a. Yeah.

[2:08:18] The idea is that the.

[2:08:19] >> The budget that was being

[2:08:20] proposed to you is subject to

[2:08:25] the vision because of the

[2:08:26] changes you MAY right right so

[2:08:26] for it would be moved on first

[2:08:29] reading.

[2:08:30] With the adjustments to be made

[2:08:31] so that

[2:08:32] second meeting you could have a

[2:08:32] better leave you wouldn't know

[2:08:36] for sure what's included in the

[2:08:37] budget so this is just a

[2:08:37] building so that we could move

[2:08:42] to the second reading but not

[2:08:42] a moving the budget because of

[2:08:43] the pledge is incorrect and

[2:08:45] will be adjusted between now in

[2:08:49] second meeting.

[2:08:49] >> Right but so my question

[2:08:50] right now the assistant we're

[2:08:51] going to discuss second

[2:08:53] right now.

[2:08:54] >> The assessment is is yes

[2:09:00] we're going to go on to it.

[2:09:00] When we get to 4 a right but

[2:09:01] for.

[2:09:03] >> The b.

[2:09:04] >> It's just going to move it

[2:09:04] to the second meeting second of

[2:09:07] it until the second meeting

[2:09:11] like you get

[2:09:12] a a details okay at this time

[2:09:16] you have the floor for 4.

[2:09:17] If we're moving the edge and

[2:09:18] make a motion that okay that's

[2:09:24] fine. Can you get a motion

[2:09:33] Treating with amendments.

[2:09:33] We're going to lose that first

[2:09:34] meeting knowing that the second

[2:09:37] meeting will have and so that

[2:09:41] they should change to

[2:09:42] It so that's what that was the

[2:09:43] motion second second ok.

[2:09:45] Any question comments have been

[2:09:46] none MADAM Clerk, the world

[2:09:47] will face.

[2:10:14] Rick. The Lewis leak. We need

[2:10:17] to go. Back to you issue MAY

[2:10:21] be. At

[2:10:22] this time. We passed the legit

[2:10:23] subject to certain changes.

[2:10:33] Maybe you want to now say for

[2:10:34] another amendment. I'd like to

[2:10:34] act. Propose you want to say

[2:10:40] what

[2:10:40] I want I like making a motion

[2:10:41] that the budget was turns to be

[2:10:50] amended to include.

[2:10:51] I wasn't hahaha center got to

[2:10:51] the commission is. You need to

[2:10:54] 6 seconds.

[2:10:59] Has some stuff into that.

[2:11:00] And the question in the

[2:11:00] comments comments please.

[2:11:05] Recognized. Thank you. Also

[2:11:07] question about the events that

[2:11:07] we've been having Comaneci

[2:11:09] that's what kind of like add-on

[2:11:12] that we really don't have a

[2:11:13] lot of residents that come out

[2:11:13] to events in the last event we

[2:11:16] had city manager Mike you know

[2:11:19] tonight.

[2:11:20] Just thinking, okay okay so the

[2:11:21] last one we did have, I mean

[2:11:25] we're negative like $50,000.

[2:11:26] I believe so is there any way

[2:11:31] that we can.

[2:11:31] Cut back on these extra events

[2:11:32] come having on a monthly basis

[2:11:36] because that's including staff.

[2:11:36] Police and all this other stuff

[2:11:37] we have and I think that also

[2:11:49] helped about it.

[2:11:51] >> So I'm sure if you can go to

[2:11:51] that slide that was though

[2:11:53] those were one of the one of

[2:11:54] the events that are one of the

[2:11:55] items that is not yet in the

[2:11:57] budget so no action is really

[2:12:08] needed on that at this time.

[2:12:10] That number.

[2:12:10] >> So it's a below the

[2:12:11] feasibility study for special

[2:12:17] projects series of quarterly

[2:12:18] events there that's a $100,000

[2:12:19] that's not included in

[2:12:22] the budget.

[2:12:23] >> He said as a 100,000 to

[2:12:32] $1000 not including not it.

[2:12:33] So attorney what what what I

[2:12:34] have I am to make sure that at

[2:12:36] this time. So it is not in the

[2:12:37] budget. You don't need to make

[2:12:40] a motion

[2:12:41] on okay. What you would do is

[2:12:41] look at the budget when it

[2:12:42] comes back and second-leading

[2:12:43] in the second meeting it now is

[2:12:46] included in the budget.

[2:12:46] >> You could make a motion at

[2:12:52] that time.

[2:12:53] >> And we also gate Ortiz into

[2:12:53] my c a manager. How much we've

[2:12:56] been sitting and spinning on

[2:12:59] these events please.

[2:13:00] We'll send it to everybody

[2:13:02] thank you.

[2:13:06] The chat.

[2:13:06] >> You're recognize what we're

[2:13:11] talking making some cuts.

[2:13:12] I'm going to go in the mind

[2:13:13] acts of

[2:13:14] potential e I know it's going

[2:13:14] to that contrary to the cause

[2:13:20] you know estimates question

[2:13:20] area. One in one month. But

[2:13:21] maybe potentially cutting it in

[2:13:23] half and could not travel and

[2:13:35] have to.

[2:13:36] Total so that's 5,000 to 2500

[2:13:37] cut our travel down. From these

[2:13:39] 2000. I 1000. 12 town. We cut

[2:13:45] it again.

[2:13:46] We don't travel as much as no

[2:13:47] more so and I second that

[2:13:50] motion.

[2:13:51] Okay so the motion in the

[2:13:56] motion.

[2:13:56] I know we have a motion that

[2:13:57] Boston was adding on that what

[2:14:00] was doing that.

[2:14:00] Do want to pass first motion

[2:14:12] then the second.

[2:14:13] >> The cutting. Travel is for

[2:14:13] the for you. The commission for

[2:14:15] the commission right. I

[2:14:16] believe that she passed the

[2:14:17] first one 1st I'm just going

[2:14:25] through that. Logic so we had

[2:14:25] a motion. The motion was so

[2:14:26] cool and proceeding knowing

[2:14:28] that going to

[2:14:29] make adjustments in the second

[2:14:29] meeting and I believe that what

[2:14:37] is really going on now is that

[2:14:38] >> the commission is seats

[2:14:39] seeking to direct the city

[2:14:43] manager with respect to

[2:14:43] what specific. Reductions

[2:14:44] should be made. We made it as a

[2:14:49] motion before Commission at the

[2:14:50] Louis tickets. Made a motion to

[2:14:55] reduce Commission salary.

[2:14:56] It could have been just a

[2:14:57] consensus that everybody agrees

[2:15:00] to.

[2:15:01] I think it's probably accurate

[2:15:02] that's what we should do and

[2:15:06] now you could continue.

[2:15:06] Did you hear that it was really

[2:15:07] a consensus not so much emotion

[2:15:11] and over. And now you can

[2:15:12] continue making these

[2:15:13] recommendations directing the

[2:15:17] city manager is. And

[2:15:17] now you MAY 2 different ones

[2:15:18] and one was you wanted to do

[2:15:24] that the city manager.

[2:15:25] The discretionary budget

[2:15:26] impasse and for the commission

[2:15:26] is and how commissioners and

[2:15:27] half that's a direction do you

[2:15:28] have it you you MAY have to

[2:15:30] determine whether you have a

[2:15:38] consensus for that.

[2:15:42] Convocation to.

[2:15:43] >> We have put it if they have

[2:15:43] cut the discussion or funds

[2:15:51] from 10 to 5.

[2:15:51] Try to cut it again so you want

[2:15:52] to go to to 2,500 us one 2nd

[2:15:54] one second what well to kind of

[2:15:55] speak please I listen to your

[2:15:58] on even from

[2:15:59] 6 o'clock 5 o'clock and I just

[2:16:07] have some respect

[2:16:07] thank you, I'm just trying to

[2:16:08] clarify from 5,000 to 2,500 but

[2:16:13] that does not include a lot of

[2:16:14] 1500 that we got before are the

[2:16:14] 8,000 from waste Management

[2:16:17] that's divided up among 5.

[2:16:19] >> Can you just clarify so we

[2:16:20] know exactly and what exactly

[2:16:21] they're cutting. Thank you so

[2:16:23] much so that the 1500 that we

[2:16:26] get from.

[2:16:26] >> Could be included so I guess

[2:16:35] we just get an extra

[2:16:36] young said no no so we get 1500

[2:16:36] right okay and then we're

[2:16:41] adding said and 3500.

[2:16:41] Because it just 15 bucks for

[2:16:47] the final time. 1000.

[2:16:47] 1535 to 85. Yes, I'm just

[2:16:48] trying to I'm just trying to do

[2:16:51] said only half. So $1500,000

[2:16:54] from.

[2:16:55] Better yet. But we just get rid

[2:16:55] of the extra money just to

[2:16:56] 1500.

[2:16:57] >> Okay yeah, I mean this is

[2:16:58] something there and say

[2:17:04] something are we spending our

[2:17:04] time looking at. Yes, $5,000

[2:17:08] 5,000 use

[2:17:08] 1000 there where is the big

[2:17:09] issue. The elephant nobody

[2:17:12] wants to talk about

[2:17:13] this team. I mean it's just

[2:17:14] hold up What I want to make

[2:17:17] sure I want to make sure I make

[2:17:17] sure you understand what's

[2:17:18] going on here we're talking

[2:17:23] about cuts. What about big

[2:17:24] projects there. Nobody is

[2:17:25] looking at those. This really

[2:17:32] make a difference. After we've

[2:17:32] done tonight. Cutting a 5,010

[2:17:33] 1000. We still going to be the

[2:17:39] worst in the same position.

[2:17:39] We never move never moved the

[2:17:40] needle at all. So so let's set

[2:17:43] this and I watch it for if we

[2:17:44] want to first where one of.

[2:17:45] But the direction we can when

[2:17:48] we were there. But we still

[2:17:52] missed the boat. Yes we're

[2:17:52] talking about millions of

[2:17:53] dollars and move to cut to be

[2:17:59] cut what is 10,050 1001 to

[2:18:00] nothing. The second reason is

[2:18:00] this for real and this is why

[2:18:05] this is why this is why.

[2:18:06] I have proposed. That we had a

[2:18:14] citizen.

[2:18:15] Budget Matthew community.

[2:18:15] We have on the citizen here in

[2:18:20] the city to sit on the

[2:18:20] committee to say exactly like a

[2:18:21] pizza where you want you to

[2:18:23] every cent tax

[2:18:24] dollars go to spend in and we

[2:18:24] didn't have that we still have

[2:18:26] to do that and I'm going to

[2:18:27] need them to Commission for not

[2:18:28] doing their job and the

[2:18:30] administration also step

[2:18:35] because it was.

[2:18:36] This is citizen would be behind

[2:18:36] the wheel safe for the whole

[2:18:40] year where and when it cut and

[2:18:41] removed it would have been

[2:18:42] sitting here discussing 5,000

[2:18:44] think think 1000 that would

[2:18:44] have been really be be where we

[2:18:45] need to be and we still can do

[2:18:49] it. But it's what I want to say

[2:18:50] this be serious about it.

[2:18:50] I would just cutting full

[2:18:53] cutting or just cutting

[2:18:53] responsibly where we need to

[2:18:57] make some adjustment.

[2:18:57] That's all I'm going to say I'm

[2:18:58] not going go any further than

[2:19:02] that left at we have enough

[2:19:02] time to do it, let's go ahead

[2:19:03] only suggesting because I I

[2:19:08] believe that we start cutting

[2:19:09] the rest will follow not just

[2:19:10] the I just I just said that I

[2:19:12] said please please please

[2:19:13] >> I'm going to set some could

[2:19:18] expertise.

[2:19:18] We do not keep applause at this

[2:19:19] point but otherwise we have to

[2:19:23] do it for everything this

[2:19:23] is a. We say thing business

[2:19:24] serious that's all it is okay

[2:19:25] appreciate that. So I'm I'm

[2:19:26] just I'm not a guess I'm not

[2:19:27] against it that's good. I just

[2:19:31] want to make sure we really

[2:19:32] see that that's what the job is

[2:19:36] for the city

[2:19:36] is there to do a job propose

[2:19:37] those cuts different we can

[2:19:40] still

[2:19:40] do it. But let's make sure

[2:19:41] we've cut the big chunk of that

[2:19:44] money to we need to get it

[2:19:45] everywhere. Across the city.

[2:19:45] And they will accompany

[2:19:48] something valuable. That's what

[2:19:53] I'm going to say.

[2:19:53] If it's when it comes to

[2:19:54] salary. I can even work for

[2:19:56] free that's not my that's

[2:19:57] my issue but this address the

[2:19:57] big issues that we have

[2:20:00] flooding issues we have things

[2:20:00] that wet big project that

[2:20:02] there.

[2:20:03] There's a thing we need to

[2:20:03] touch with those with big

[2:20:07] salaries. We have a position

[2:20:08] vacancies we have no project a

[2:20:08] project that could await some

[2:20:14] some some let's look at those

[2:20:15] also. Let's look at those in

[2:20:19] reality that's all.

[2:20:20] Ok I'm in it and that's fine.

[2:20:21] Yes, yes, you're recognized

[2:20:24] because we're seeing a lot of

[2:20:25] time and looking at that's why

[2:20:26] we have department just what

[2:20:27] that could look want to say

[2:20:28] something about the savings

[2:20:28] worth of them about the

[2:20:31] $10,000.

[2:20:35] >> You know if we're going to

[2:20:36] whenever we have to cut you

[2:20:36] know save some money if it's a

[2:20:39] it's a 10,000 others, it was

[2:20:43] acceptable cents better.

[2:20:44] House. What what do you what

[2:20:45] we're going to do with $0.62.

[2:20:49] The House nothing. I mean

[2:20:50] really is not so I mean I don't

[2:20:52] know what we're doing here.

[2:20:53] It is not the bottom like the

[2:20:54] mayor said we've got to be

[2:21:01] responsible for them with the

[2:21:02] money. Many of the if I say

[2:21:02] that I want to save a 1000

[2:21:07] miles from home.

[2:21:08] It's okay. I like to to you

[2:21:08] know the rest will have a money

[2:21:10] to pay the bills. I

[2:21:11] like that. You know we got to

[2:21:12] be responsible with them a nice

[2:21:14] really you know cause I hear

[2:21:18] this guy.

[2:21:19] And they they help you get a a

[2:21:25] 100,000 or more per.

[2:21:25] Building. It is crazy. We got

[2:21:28] to

[2:21:29] you know what I'm working for

[2:21:32] the flu and residents really.

[2:21:33] I know we've got to do

[2:21:33] something about we've got to

[2:21:38] work on that we've got to save

[2:21:38] money on taxes somehow

[2:21:39] somewhere. I don't know, I mean

[2:21:42] I'm not I don't know how to

[2:21:48] love those things.

[2:21:49] You know we I mean we can do

[2:21:49] something about up here.

[2:21:53] Against that.

[2:21:54] Where is of thing big money on

[2:21:55] taxes. But I don't know how to

[2:22:00] do that.

[2:22:01] So we've got to get help from

[2:22:02] from a a it is tough really to

[2:22:07] the chair.

[2:22:08] >> There you go ok, yes, your

[2:22:11] hunt, Vice mayor.

[2:22:12] However, when will connect

[2:22:12] country we have to I mean this

[2:22:17] is the expertise off the city

[2:22:18] mind you just that 50 finance

[2:22:18] people when we're called to

[2:22:21] have to make sure that this

[2:22:25] that the residents don't.

[2:22:26] We don't shortchange the

[2:22:26] residents for what needs to

[2:22:32] keep the city going but I do

[2:22:33] agree that we have to look.

[2:22:33] i mean we look at the pace we

[2:22:39] need to look at the pounds so

[2:22:39] thank you so much for being

[2:22:40] with each other homes well, you

[2:22:46] know an outcast you're

[2:22:47] recognized Commission 1000 most

[2:22:50] for all which is not okay,

[2:22:50] you're recognized. Thank you so

[2:22:58] much mayor.

[2:22:59] Every penny does count and to

[2:23:00] to hear this commission says

[2:23:00] looking at a little here a

[2:23:04] little there.

[2:23:05] >> Now that adds up. It really

[2:23:08] does as we have to stop.

[2:23:09] I'm blaming or shifting the

[2:23:11] blame right.

[2:23:12] Where will say things like you

[2:23:12] know to bring the commission

[2:23:18] and we're going to MISS That

[2:23:19] staff has their job and the

[2:23:19] commission also get your job.

[2:23:24] But what I found out over.

[2:23:24] You know that the 2 terms that

[2:23:25] I've been here he's a lot of my

[2:23:32] residents are very. Spectacle

[2:23:39] But just it thank you.

[2:23:39] O I doing anything here because

[2:23:40] when they come here and they

[2:23:41] speak their mind.

[2:23:42] They are free to join the thing

[2:23:43] that we're doing because they

[2:23:49] feel like this commission tends

[2:23:50] to believe them. All right and

[2:23:50] this is not here say this is

[2:23:54] the

[2:24:03] residents that are watching

[2:24:04] our live. Sessions here okay

[2:24:10] and so.

[2:24:11] As a leader we take

[2:24:11] accountability and the truth

[2:24:15] is. This commission.

[2:24:16] Have spontaneously out of the

[2:24:16] blue we putting things together

[2:24:20] we've done certain things right

[2:24:21] and that has cost us and we

[2:24:25] have to

[2:24:25] take responsibility. I'm not

[2:24:26] blaming anyone but I'm saying

[2:24:28] we must take responsibility

[2:24:29] and I know the previous

[2:24:30] commission a lot of things that

[2:24:33] we're dealing with now is

[2:24:33] because the previous commission

[2:24:34] didn't make certain changes.

[2:24:41] But now that we're here and

[2:24:42] we're making a change I would

[2:24:42] love to see right leadership

[2:24:46] stop blaming the ship or stop

[2:24:46] sec shifting the blame and take

[2:24:47] responsibility. Thank you so

[2:24:52] much.

[2:24:58] Commissioner

[2:24:59] it was a consistent word time

[2:25:00] trying to figure that right.

[2:25:05] Correct yes.

[2:25:05] >> The idea is that since we

[2:25:06] don't have a resolution or

[2:25:07] anything

[2:25:08] like that. I believe the

[2:25:09] directives regarding what can

[2:25:14] be reduced. If you have a

[2:25:15] consensus you could Hawaii that

[2:25:17] detective to the city

[2:25:18] manager has there will be

[2:25:19] adjustments made you're going

[2:25:22] to go through what they're

[2:25:23] going to make adjustments in

[2:25:24] light of the 7.4 millage rate.

[2:25:26] But.

[2:25:27] While they're doing that they

[2:25:27] should consider the specific

[2:25:32] things that you guys having

[2:25:33] been up so the directive from

[2:25:37] the commission that was.

[2:25:38] Commissioner Louis had had a

[2:25:42] directive about.

[2:25:43] We wanted to try to see if he

[2:25:46] could get consensus and.

[2:25:48] I think this question every

[2:25:49] fund interest. Thank those that

[2:25:49] do this one so they just keep

[2:25:55] them separate case, everybody

[2:25:55] doesn't agree. So do the action

[2:26:00] on the.

[2:26:04] Is that the travel. A

[2:26:05] discretionary fund and what is

[2:26:06] this number that you wanted to

[2:26:08] propose and to say it should

[2:26:12] should we do it

[2:26:12] >> proponents like that with my

[2:26:13] kind of are you doing now I see

[2:26:17] it when it cut in half. So

[2:26:23] 5,000 to 2500. Yes, so just.

[2:26:24] >> The extreme give sorry

[2:26:25] services for which item.

[2:26:30] Of that just discretion or in

[2:26:31] general. I think it's a system

[2:26:32] that just you know get this is

[2:26:36] a tough.

[2:26:40] Okay

[2:26:41] and that's just something that

[2:26:42] can be be a complete tonight on

[2:26:44] because we don't you know I can

[2:26:51] always come being that

[2:26:51] that too bring back the and it

[2:26:52] is for as far as the traveling.

[2:26:55] I mean I'll be a agree with

[2:26:58] that except except

[2:26:59] except those who do not travel

[2:26:59] this far we look at what those

[2:27:03] travel for purpose to find the

[2:27:03] source for the city. I don't

[2:27:04] see any reason why should

[2:27:10] prevent them from going there

[2:27:11] for him. Conference in training

[2:27:12] find a recent for the city.

[2:27:13] It could be in

[2:27:14] the individual. Those who do

[2:27:14] not travel that's fine this

[2:27:17] perfect little bit. Simple as

[2:27:18] that and to the

[2:27:21] term here.

[2:27:22] >> Yes, Europe because of so

[2:27:23] city does that also follow the

[2:27:26] recommendations put the event

[2:27:27] as well so we'll talk about

[2:27:27] that next time you could not do

[2:27:31] that.

[2:27:32] >> You can talk about all of it

[2:27:32] next time if you could look at

[2:27:35] it more closely and see what he

[2:27:35] that you want. But right now

[2:27:36] the event tonight in the budget

[2:27:39] right. Should they come into

[2:27:39] the budget then you could get

[2:27:40] you know directive about that.

[2:27:50] Well you can exit it evolved.

[2:27:50] Right now there are 2 issues in

[2:27:51] it looks like the only directed

[2:27:56] that on right now that's been

[2:27:57] established by the commission.

[2:27:59] It's the directive.

[2:28:00] Toledo's salary Commission

[2:28:01] Sally's or 5% other than that

[2:28:03] you don't have a consensus, it

[2:28:04] seems to me and anyone of good

[2:28:05] luck

[2:28:09] to you.

[2:28:09] >> You don't have a cause we'll

[2:28:15] bring it because he's so yeah.

[2:28:15] >> So now I'm going to be what

[2:28:16] the mayor had asked me to be

[2:28:17] witches.

[2:28:23] For a.

[2:28:24] >> So if the bees that voted on

[2:29:16] >> I just what I just pointed

[2:29:17] out that the city clerk that

[2:29:17] it's it

[2:29:18] was approved that with

[2:29:18] amendment because we don't have

[2:29:22] specific amendments. But it

[2:29:23] was approved with with the

[2:29:24] directive that in second

[2:29:28] meeting at the put back we phys

[2:29:29] to come. To to conform to the

[2:29:32] elite 8.

[2:29:36] Item 4 a.

[2:29:36] That solution of the city

[2:29:37] Commission of the city of North

[2:29:39] Lauderdale Florida relating to

[2:29:40] the provision of fire rescue

[2:29:41] services facilities and

[2:29:45] programs in the city of North

[2:29:46] Lauderdale Florida and posing

[2:29:46] fire assessments against

[2:29:51] assessed property located

[2:29:52] within the city of North

[2:29:53] Lauderdale. The fiscal year

[2:29:56] beginning OCTOBER one

[2:29:57] 2026. Approving the lead of

[2:29:57] assessment approving the

[2:30:00] assessment roll providing for

[2:30:01] conflicts, providing for

[2:30:01] severability and providing for

[2:30:05] an effective date.

[2:30:07] Was ready.

[2:30:07] >> See measures go into the

[2:30:08] upper station please. MISTER

[2:30:12] Mayor are project manager will

[2:30:13] walk you through that. Fire

[2:30:14] assessment numbers and then

[2:30:17] fire rescue will give a free

[2:30:18] presentation as well thank you.

[2:30:47] That meant.

[2:30:47] >> All regarding the firearm

[2:30:57] proposed budget for fiscal year

[2:30:57] 2027. The budget itself is a

[2:31:01] 15 million 565 391.

[2:31:02] $1000 budget. Essentially the

[2:31:09] budget is

[2:31:10] balanced through approval if

[2:31:10] that isn't a night of

[2:31:18] assessment revenues to the

[2:31:18] single family home and of $650

[2:31:19] or the multi-family to 976.

[2:31:25] So that initially now would

[2:31:26] generate revenues if approved

[2:31:31] at 12 million 500 and 10

[2:31:31] 6, 6, 5, In addition to that

[2:31:32] there's other revenues as

[2:31:40] proposed in this budget which

[2:31:41] totals you know 1 1 million 800

[2:31:41] and 92,513. So essentially

[2:31:45] there a question that was

[2:31:46] brought up by one of the

[2:31:46] residents in regards to what

[2:31:49] was transfer from the general

[2:31:50] fund. So here it is shown that

[2:31:55] that the general fund

[2:31:55] will supplement the fire fun by

[2:31:56] that one 0.1 6, 2, 1, 9, 6, So

[2:32:01] we actually did round that to

[2:32:02] 1.2 in that slide. But then

[2:32:02] this is the amount of money

[2:32:08] that the

[2:32:09] general fund what transfer from

[2:32:10] the general fund to the fire

[2:32:13] fund in order to achieve a

[2:32:14] balanced budget. So when you

[2:32:15] look at the budget itself and

[2:32:21] then the revenues total you'll

[2:32:22] see that the revenues there is

[2:32:22] that 15 a 1 million 5 65 3.91.

[2:32:26] So that's how we were able to

[2:32:27] achieve a balanced budget based

[2:32:27] on the proposed expenditures in

[2:32:32] the budget.

[2:32:33] And if the assessment at 6 5976

[2:32:39] is passed.

[2:32:40] I'm just going to skip too.

[2:32:52] The back of second.

[2:32:52] Actually no I would just pass

[2:32:53] this on to the chief and I'm

[2:33:03] sorry that site is not.

[2:33:04] >> Good evening. Mayor

[2:33:12] commissioners city manager.

[2:33:13] Talk the rays of the assessment

[2:33:13] assessment hasn't been

[2:33:20] increased since 2021. So

[2:33:21] rigidly to 78 and we're trying

[2:33:21] to increase it up to 6.50.

[2:33:26] And I'll break it down.

[2:33:26] The cost has stayed the same

[2:33:27] for the residents since 2021.

[2:33:30] But

[2:33:31] the cost. Training and up

[2:33:32] protection of the equipment.

[2:33:35] It's a 24 7 operation. Erin

[2:33:41] 24 7. Not stop.

[2:33:42] The proposal. Help to cover the

[2:33:43] fire protection cause of the

[2:33:45] assessment rather than the city

[2:33:45] revenue. So the money instead

[2:33:46] of coming from the from the tax

[2:33:48] is going to the and the

[2:33:49] assessment were not gaining

[2:33:49] more money with the taxes were

[2:33:56] just guys going to supplement

[2:33:57] it with the assessment.

[2:33:58] Compared to other cities like

[2:34:03] lauderhill Tamarac Lauderdale

[2:34:04] lakes on the slide you see.

[2:34:05] What the what what it covers.

[2:34:09] And our proposal. It's going to

[2:34:13] cover Almost 93%. For

[2:34:13] we're paying up of the fire

[2:34:18] rescue the 15 Million.

[2:34:19] So Laura says doesn't mean a

[2:34:20] lower cost of the Fire

[2:34:24] Department.

[2:34:25] And also our city the most

[2:34:25] responsible and one of the

[2:34:28] cheapest cities compared to

[2:34:28] other counties up other other

[2:34:29] fire departments in Brevard

[2:34:34] County.

[2:34:35] The level of service that we

[2:34:41] deliver average of all

[2:34:41] 5,082 cause from OCTOBER 2025

[2:34:42] to AUGUST 2026. I have is

[2:34:47] response time from a dispatch

[2:34:48] to the door is 5 minutes, 37

[2:34:49] seconds run about 338 new joint

[2:34:51] responses. Throughout our

[2:34:52] neighboring cities Tamarac

[2:34:55] Margate

[2:34:56] Larry Hill and our training we

[2:34:56] do about 11,500 hours of

[2:34:59] training and Prix fire planning

[2:35:05] for the city.

[2:35:05] Iso class one of our biggest

[2:35:06] cause of a condo complex men's

[2:35:07] wear iso class

[2:35:08] of want. There's only others on

[2:35:08] the other 500 other fire

[2:35:17] departments nationwide. That

[2:35:17] have achieved that so one

[2:35:18] class. We also have a ha gold

[2:35:22] standard any MS.

[2:35:23] And we also also have a state

[2:35:24] of the art fire training

[2:35:26] facility. And we have a vested

[2:35:27] about 2 million a lot of it

[2:35:32] from arpa funds.

[2:35:40] That's going to possibility.

[2:35:41] Fiscal year 2027. Yes, that

[2:35:42] kind I think it's already been

[2:35:46] say it again. It's 12

[2:35:47] 12 million 510 thousand from

[2:35:48] ems and other revenues we've

[2:35:51] got about one 0.8. And the

[2:35:52] general fund chance for which I

[2:35:53] think that was asked before.

[2:35:58] So with the assessment all we

[2:35:59] need is a 1.1 6, 2 of the

[2:35:59] general fund to balance our our

[2:36:08] feet are 2027. To balance the

[2:36:09] budget. And again lows cost per

[2:36:09] station. It's about 7.7 million

[2:36:13] to run each we have 2 stations

[2:36:14] to run both stations which like

[2:36:15] I said a lot less expensive

[2:36:17] than other departments in

[2:36:23] Broward County.

[2:36:24] The bottom line in all this is

[2:36:24] the increase will be an

[2:36:27] increase of

[2:36:28] 372 per year $31 a month or you

[2:36:31] could say a dollar per day.

[2:36:32] I know it's I know it's going

[2:36:33] to affect the the citizens.

[2:36:39] We we need to increase this for

[2:36:40] years now, and this is where

[2:36:40] we're at right now with live

[2:36:44] with the fire assessment.

[2:36:45] We also got understand that

[2:36:46] we've save the taxpayers a lot

[2:36:51] of money when it comes to we

[2:36:52] use arpa funds make our bunker

[2:36:53] gear storage room at a station

[2:36:55] 44 which forces that cancer

[2:36:59] initiative.

[2:36:59] For for the bunker gear and for

[2:37:00] the fight to keep the

[2:37:04] firefighters say.

[2:37:05] Funded almost a mostly for a

[2:37:06] ladder truck. Through the arpa

[2:37:14] funds firings and we got to

[2:37:15] our funds and a rescue unit.

[2:37:15] So we've got approximately 3

[2:37:18] point 3.1 7 million dollars in

[2:37:19] arpa funds that the taxpayers

[2:37:24] and not have to pay.

[2:37:24] And our capital improvements

[2:37:30] for fiscal year

[2:37:31] 2027. We we still have to

[2:37:31] remaining balance of 487,000

[2:37:35] for the

[2:37:36] latter truck. We also getting

[2:37:36] another new rescue unit which

[2:37:39] is approximately 472,000.

[2:37:41] So

[2:37:42] are projected. Our projected

[2:37:43] capital projects for this for a

[2:37:45] fiscal year 2020 so be one 0.2

[2:37:50] million dollars.

[2:37:51] I think that any questions

[2:37:53] please.

[2:37:56] This one.

[2:37:57] >> I'd like to hear from the

[2:37:58] public regarding the fire

[2:38:00] service special assistant at

[2:38:10] this point right now.

[2:38:15] You can call the first

[2:38:16] person please just limit to

[2:38:17] less limited to 2 minutes

[2:38:19] please just just say what you

[2:38:20] get it's going to be for guests

[2:38:25] at this point.

[2:38:26] >> But even everyone my name is

[2:38:27] Nathan Chen car and after the

[2:38:32] residents in Florida since 2011

[2:38:33] when I purchased my home.

[2:38:33] I know the fight she just talk

[2:38:36] about the increase which was

[2:38:37] a headache for me when I see my

[2:38:40] proposed bill.

[2:38:41] From 2.17 to 6.50 doesn't sound

[2:38:41] like much to the fight too.

[2:38:46] But it is a lot to resident.

[2:38:47] I think what you guys are

[2:38:47] forgetting is that the same

[2:38:55] residents that you're looking

[2:38:56] at right now put you guys can

[2:38:56] the Spurs nation. And when you

[2:39:00] guys get into these petition

[2:39:00] guys forget about the

[2:39:01] PRESIDENT's that put 2 guys

[2:39:05] beer. I have not seen year.

[2:39:05] At one 0.1 might feel that the

[2:39:06] city of not just the all said

[2:39:12] John might be less decrease

[2:39:13] something for the residents.

[2:39:14] Every year. It's an increase

[2:39:19] skies. This same water. I

[2:39:19] propose still that York

[2:39:20] increasing it's been on my one

[2:39:22] fear work the same water the

[2:39:22] same kind of the same price

[2:39:23] increases on the couple's get

[2:39:27] here but when I get my monthly

[2:39:33] bill. It is also.

[2:39:34] Are there some came here pain

[2:39:35] here, 15 million doesn't so

[2:39:38] like a lot to the chief because

[2:39:39] guess what we just ate the

[2:39:39] residents from page 6. So

[2:39:43] 15 million is nothing. All

[2:39:43] right I can for say $30,000.

[2:39:50] It's safe to use.

[2:39:50] These increases are absolutely

[2:39:51] outrageous not to say we're not

[2:39:54] supposed to pay something for

[2:39:54] the city of course we live

[2:40:00] here.

[2:40:01] I have seen the goal that you

[2:40:02] have been growing in North lot

[2:40:09] of I respect that. I appreciate

[2:40:10] you for that I have seen

[2:40:10] changes. In the last 2 years.

[2:40:15] But at the same time. I work

[2:40:15] for the election office.

[2:40:20] Get 10% increase.

[2:40:21] One to 3% every year and that

[2:40:24] is nothing absolutely nothing.

[2:40:25] >> so we get in Chris, I do not

[2:40:25] become my paycheck because it

[2:40:28] doesn't make a difference to

[2:40:34] me I don't see the difference.

[2:40:35] So I'm asking is that you guys

[2:40:35] please think about these

[2:40:38] increased think about the

[2:40:39] resident that work one job and

[2:40:39] you guys are sensitive to work

[2:40:42] 2 jobs so they can pay these

[2:40:43] high increase the time is I

[2:40:43] want to thank you, thank you,

[2:40:46] thank you.

[2:40:50] >> This person is.

[2:40:52] Okay bill

[2:40:56] Lester, so.

[2:40:56] >> I'm something that you guys

[2:40:57] I want to have heart attacks.

[2:41:01] But.

[2:41:02] One thing was for us too

[2:41:02] because I talked to sweet have

[2:41:05] listen these guys have a tough

[2:41:06] one thing I did do is look at

[2:41:08] my insurance bill.

[2:41:09] Because of our rating of our

[2:41:09] Fire Department here and all

[2:41:18] the stuff we have and there's

[2:41:18] response time what they talked

[2:41:19] about. I save $1000 a year.

[2:41:20] On my

[2:41:21] home insurance because of our

[2:41:22] party now it's also because I

[2:41:26] live down the street and close

[2:41:26] different things but. It isn't

[2:41:30] the think

[2:41:30] about now. It doesn't like a

[2:41:31] lot of like this said it's it's

[2:41:34] been 5 years since we've they

[2:41:34] are able to change that again

[2:41:35] they can they can do for the

[2:41:38] next 5 years again so.

[2:41:38] It does seem high and we can

[2:41:39] always asking to see what they

[2:41:42] can cut a little bit more look

[2:41:45] we're going to ask Mike and

[2:41:46] everything else. But it is

[2:41:46] something about is that we do

[2:41:49] have a cause for carbon and I'd

[2:41:50] like to stay that way because

[2:41:50] it keeps our he's my cost down

[2:41:53] to thank you.

[2:41:53] >> Thank you to the next

[2:41:57] person.

[2:41:58] This this whole this show kind

[2:42:01] of those so I just have a

[2:42:01] I'm not quite sure my church my

[2:42:02] church doesn't go down because

[2:42:05] of the fire. So I'm not seeing

[2:42:09] that in mind but

[2:42:10] I left I just want to know if

[2:42:10] there's a middle ground between

[2:42:13] the sick from 2, 7, 8, to 6.50.

[2:42:14] There's nothing else could pose

[2:42:14] a choking we can do this this

[2:42:18] all this we came with your rate

[2:42:19] one of the other there was no

[2:42:20] middle ground between us and I

[2:42:22] said it at the last meeting

[2:42:29] we had that.

[2:42:30] It went from 2.78 to 6.52.

[2:42:34] If you put it in

[2:42:35] 3.72. $0.31 $31 and a dog, but

[2:42:35] no one put it off how much

[2:42:42] percentages that is that's a

[2:42:43] 133% to normalize the

[2:42:44] percentages on everything else

[2:42:47] are you saving 5% 6%. But this

[2:42:48] is a 130% increase. So that's

[2:42:51] what I want.

[2:43:02] >> Experts in place.

[2:43:03] Good evening, MISTER Mayor and

[2:43:03] commissioners. My name Eric

[2:43:06] Eric

[2:43:07] Hill hangs. The developer of

[2:43:11] the North Lauderdale and build

[2:43:12] that project and former city

[2:43:12] commissioner along the

[2:43:15] lakeshore 40 years.

[2:43:16] So I know the position that

[2:43:19] you're in.

[2:43:20] And I come up to speak about

[2:43:23] the fire the fire assessments.

[2:43:26] Young lady

[2:43:27] was correct. So a 130% increase

[2:43:30] in one year.

[2:43:31] One of the challenges that

[2:43:31] we've always faced as elected

[2:43:34] officials the terms of how to

[2:43:42] deal.

[2:43:43] Always quiet too. Our job

[2:43:44] responsibility because we have

[2:43:48] a flower pot. And that flower

[2:43:50] pot. This field war. So its

[2:43:51] limited resources and that

[2:43:51] flower fight has to sprinkle

[2:43:56] everything but all the

[2:43:57] different polls coming out.

[2:43:57] The fire rescue assessment,

[2:44:00] you're

[2:44:01] right that has a very racist

[2:44:01] 2021, however that's a policy

[2:44:06] decision by the commission

[2:44:07] whether those who were here

[2:44:07] before or not that didn't.

[2:44:08] They're on

[2:44:08] the residents. It was the

[2:44:09] commission who made those

[2:44:11] decisions based on what you

[2:44:14] present it.

[2:44:15] The study that was done and we

[2:44:15] should do a study is all the

[2:44:21] time because the state requires

[2:44:22] in order to raise the fee.

[2:44:23] What the state does not require

[2:44:26] when you get the study is that

[2:44:27] that entire fee didn't assess

[2:44:28] and one year. It's a study

[2:44:34] document and so you can look at

[2:44:35] that document and you can work

[2:44:36] with staff the fire chief or

[2:44:38] whoever and come up with

[2:44:38] a plan to get to that point you

[2:44:39] don't have to get there in one

[2:44:44] year you don't have a 130% one

[2:44:45] year. That's what I believe the

[2:44:48] residents of talking about.

[2:44:49] That increase face what we're

[2:44:49] looking at what amendment 3.

[2:44:54] You're really asking people to

[2:44:55] vote for him and 3. Because

[2:44:55] when you assess a 130% over 3.

[2:45:01] The owners are going to vote

[2:45:02] for that tell you what citizens

[2:45:02] amendment 3 is bad for all

[2:45:05] cities.

[2:45:06] Because we're going to have to

[2:45:06] make it up it's going to pass

[2:45:08] and I know I'm out of time out.

[2:45:09] We'll sit down and I just say

[2:45:10] please look at that that's the

[2:45:16] that's the biggest increase.

[2:45:17] It's a study take the time to

[2:45:18] sit down with staff. One last

[2:45:20] time as

[2:45:21] the mayor. The ladder truck I

[2:45:23] just up next I love the

[2:45:23] Fire Department and one of the

[2:45:24] lakes we talked about the

[2:45:30] matter truck all the time.

[2:45:31] Every city. That touches North

[2:45:31] lot of them there Wells has led

[2:45:35] a truck. We have a new tool 8

[2:45:36] bill deals are not that high.

[2:45:37] We've got to just not what you

[2:45:41] know.

[2:45:42] Haha but thank you, thanks for

[2:45:43] the service also appreciate

[2:45:45] okay. Thank you. Next question

[2:45:55] please.

[2:45:56] >> Out football at I like to

[2:45:56] have a question to the city

[2:45:59] manager regarding one of the

[2:46:07] budget line items. Got a

[2:46:08] lot to yes you can't do it yes,

[2:46:08] there is a charge of and money

[2:46:11] fund the fire rescue special

[2:46:11] right new fund for other

[2:46:17] current

[2:46:18] charges miscellaneous now this

[2:46:19] year it's increasing from 2000

[2:46:29] to a 130,865 dollars.

[2:46:29] I'm sorry high increase

[2:46:30] shouldn't be budgeted to

[2:46:32] specify what the a $128,000 in

[2:46:33] bonuses for instead of just

[2:46:34] dumping it into miscellaneous

[2:46:43] account.

[2:46:44] >> We go through the budget and

[2:46:44] find out where it MAY take a

[2:46:45] minute on time I just I just

[2:46:45] want to thank the Fire

[2:46:46] Department, I know that they're

[2:46:49] crucial they provide excellent

[2:46:49] service to us and thank you

[2:46:50] very much for that. Now some

[2:46:52] are bill could you answer that

[2:47:03] you know off the top of her.

[2:47:03] If not what we're doing that

[2:47:04] would could listen to here the

[2:47:11] next week please.

[2:47:11] Good evening again mayor

[2:47:17] commissioners.

[2:47:18] My comments are limited to

[2:47:19] proposed car rescue have non ad

[2:47:22] valorem assessment.

[2:47:23] My annual fire rescue

[2:47:23] assessment is increased from

[2:47:27] 2.78 to 6.50.

[2:47:28] According to my calculations

[2:47:28] that's an increase of 372 in

[2:47:31] one year.

[2:47:35] That's a 134% for me.

[2:47:35] I recognize that fire rescue is

[2:47:38] an essential

[2:47:39] public service as a form 8

[2:47:40] former deputy sheriff, myself

[2:47:45] and also a former emergency

[2:47:46] dispatcher for bso I understand

[2:47:48] the importance of

[2:47:48] properly staffing. Equip the

[2:47:49] equipping and funding emergency

[2:47:55] responders my objection is not

[2:47:55] just not is not to supporting

[2:47:59] fire rescue. My

[2:47:59] objection is 2 opposing such a

[2:48:00] large increase all it wants

[2:48:05] without adequately

[2:48:05] demonstrating. Why the specific

[2:48:06] amount is necessary and whether

[2:48:12] less burdensome alternatives

[2:48:13] could be considered unlike and

[2:48:14] ad valorem tax this assessment

[2:48:17] is a fixed charge. It does not

[2:48:18] adjusted according to a

[2:48:18] homeowner's property value or

[2:48:21] ability to pay.

[2:48:22] As senior living on

[2:48:25] approximately

[2:48:26] 1900 per month 10 Beach art can

[2:48:27] be charged the same amount as

[2:48:30] someone with substantially

[2:48:30] greater financial resources.

[2:48:31] That makes this increased pace,

[2:48:38] especially difficult for

[2:48:39] seniors. On a lot of

[2:48:39] lower-income homer before

[2:48:41] approving the

[2:48:42] 6.50 assessment. Police clearly

[2:48:42] explain how the amount was

[2:48:47] calculated what portion rest

[2:48:48] presents that out actual costs

[2:48:49] of providing far rescue

[2:48:51] services to residential

[2:48:52] properties and weather every

[2:48:53] dollar collected must be used

[2:48:56] exclusively for that service.

[2:48:57] I asked the commission to

[2:48:57] consider reducing the

[2:49:02] assessment. Fay MAY be facing

[2:49:03] the increase over several years

[2:49:03] using available Rees reserves

[2:49:07] for part of the immediate costs

[2:49:08] identifying savings elsewhere

[2:49:08] in the budget and establishing

[2:49:14] lawful hardship assistance for

[2:49:14] the low low income seniors and

[2:49:15] disabled homeowners essential

[2:49:20] services must be funded, but

[2:49:21] they must also be funded fairly

[2:49:21] increasing one's household far

[2:49:29] rescue assessment by 134% is it

[2:49:29] in a single year is not

[2:49:30] reasonable for an affordable

[2:49:33] solution. I respectfully ask

[2:49:34] you to reject the proposed 6.50

[2:49:40] and adopt a

[2:49:40] more gradual a quick equitable

[2:49:41] assessment. Thank you so much.

[2:49:48] Thank u next person.

[2:49:49] >> back your Isa given the

[2:49:49] owner of the building of a

[2:49:56] focused Southwest 81st Avenue

[2:49:56] it's an office building.

[2:49:57] The presentation did not

[2:50:02] include how is this. No I

[2:50:03] assessment goals against

[2:50:03] commercial properties. In my

[2:50:10] specific situation, the.

[2:50:11] The you know, I love them went

[2:50:12] up from $35,000 which is in our

[2:50:14] rate just to get to

[2:50:20] begin with 2 $75,000 for

[2:50:21] good percentage. Full to calls

[2:50:22] and often mall just on non upon

[2:50:28] talks on my property.

[2:50:28] Do you think it would end up a

[2:50:29] 128,000 Bullock told Fox's so

[2:50:32] the non big fire this q a

[2:50:32] system in which is the big

[2:50:37] chunk of

[2:50:38] that figure. He's proposed to

[2:50:39] go up from 28,065 1000

[2:50:41] buildings. Again a repeat

[2:50:46] the numbers, $28,000 to

[2:50:47] 65,000 go in the building and

[2:50:48] there is even here the one of

[2:50:49] the tendency to behind me.

[2:50:50] Nobody pays me back to

[2:50:50] pre-pandemic we put the cost of

[2:51:00] rent when we. When we're able

[2:51:00] to click. We pay all the

[2:51:01] expenses. No way DR. How would

[2:51:02] happen. I did a quick

[2:51:03] calculation a quick research

[2:51:04] will click auctioneer spent

[2:51:11] time with some research I'm

[2:51:12] going to pay one point cooled

[2:51:12] off per square foot maybe think

[2:51:18] it's 55,000 square foot.

[2:51:19] And the fire rescue assistant

[2:51:19] would be 65,000 all of this is

[2:51:23] $1.2 a

[2:51:24] square foot. But neighboring cp

[2:51:24] market is a 0.38. Our

[2:51:27] neighboring city look at the

[2:51:31] lakes is like 0.41.

[2:51:32] The city of Qom Iraq Isis left

[2:51:32] feet you know more than $30,000

[2:51:38] which in my case what upping

[2:51:39] $0.50. I went to bed that night

[2:51:46] did some research on the high.

[2:51:46] Fire rescue a 15 month old and

[2:51:47] want no call today is trying to

[2:51:48] call it I found

[2:51:49] one cd very similar from

[2:51:50] Oakland and then once it is the

[2:51:54] call it slightly more. It's the

[2:51:55] same deal with them. Guys we

[2:51:56] have got to see the western

[2:51:58] great. No disrespect but we're

[2:52:01] not there.

[2:52:02] And I don't I don't think it

[2:52:03] research on defiant this cute

[2:52:05] note that put them to make a

[2:52:10] long story short.

[2:52:10] If I end up paying those being

[2:52:15] a cyst on those taxes.

[2:52:16] These would be the highest tax

[2:52:16] bracket in Broward County that

[2:52:24] somebody is think. This will be

[2:52:24] again the highest Cox Bruck

[2:52:28] monos full percent off 5th of

[2:52:29] all you what going to taxes

[2:52:30] this is outrageous doesn't

[2:52:32] exist.

[2:52:33] Doesn't exist and again the

[2:52:33] Lady before me said, then on a

[2:52:38] couple of nothing to do with

[2:52:39] the assist about you. Yes,

[2:52:39] every year we go to broadcom

[2:52:44] can we fight the assist of

[2:52:44] ideas a time-out successful of

[2:52:45] times why not here there's

[2:52:46] nobody to fight. There's nobody

[2:52:46] can fight you cannot comment

[2:52:47] say maybe I think it's a

[2:52:55] thinking okay so they can get

[2:52:55] the money to pay for real file,

[2:52:56] so this is why knows why so I

[2:52:57] would appreciate if the Chiefs

[2:52:57] going live to explain how did

[2:52:58] that come up with his

[2:53:02] calculation for the militia

[2:53:03] properties. Thank you very much

[2:53:06] guys all right. Thank you.

[2:53:06] >> It is known no no no no no

[2:53:07] no we want to keep the order

[2:53:10] appreciate that thank you Sir,

[2:53:11] thank you very much. We

[2:53:15] appreciate that.

[2:53:18] It is 7.55.

[2:53:22] We have heard Residents.

[2:53:26] At this particular time.

[2:53:27] Under the current

[2:53:34] circumstances.

[2:53:35] I do not support increasing the

[2:53:40] fire special assessment.

[2:53:40] I support making the existing.

[2:53:45] Assessment rate.

[2:53:45] And direct and mistress who I

[2:53:46] can't find the appropriate

[2:53:54] funding adjustment necessary.

[2:53:55] To maintain essential. High

[2:53:58] risk of services with that.

[2:53:59] MADAM Attorney if you could

[2:53:59] please pro of provide an

[2:54:03] appropriate motion necessary

[2:54:10] to maintain the current rate.

[2:54:12] I can just do so if someone is

[2:54:12] some will some won't give you

[2:54:14] second guess what.

[2:54:16] Just for

[2:54:17] the record. Yeah on dissent,

[2:54:17] but we don't want we just keep

[2:54:22] your plot everybody because we

[2:54:23] don't want to. They don't know.

[2:54:29] Thank you appreciate that.

[2:54:29] If not we'll just have someone

[2:54:30] system will do you just want to

[2:54:32] the motion is to keep it

[2:54:32] maintained everything the right

[2:54:33] way does it go. You know, you

[2:54:40] know.

[2:54:41] >> Moving to a man. The highest

[2:54:42] rate. That is providing that is

[2:54:44] provided.

[2:54:49] In the resolution.

[2:54:50] And you want it to the men team

[2:54:51] that the previous year's rate

[2:54:56] that's the motion. The motion

[2:54:57] is to keep the to keep their

[2:54:58] system the way it is and it's

[2:54:58] so adjustment this is set

[2:55:01] to maintain.

[2:55:02] >> Yeah essential fire risk and

[2:55:06] we mention that the yes the for

[2:55:07] the year. We've got to look at

[2:55:08] other ways my job is to 2 of

[2:55:12] them. Going to business is a

[2:55:13] resident, but are there special

[2:55:13] is their job there is to find

[2:55:16] other ways to do we've got to

[2:55:19] find it somehow.

[2:55:20] We're going to find some up

[2:55:20] because we heard over and over

[2:55:23] and over and over and over and

[2:55:29] and we mentioned that.

[2:55:30] The worst thing I would like to

[2:55:31] see is resident in the no-fly

[2:55:35] deal to the better because

[2:55:36] we're chasing them out of

[2:55:36] different things whatever

[2:55:40] wasn't done 9 years ago for 7

[2:55:40] years ago that's fine but this

[2:55:41] is time that we are high or we

[2:55:43] have people to look at those

[2:55:44] sting. If we could do it here

[2:55:45] to the commission could find it

[2:55:47] we would have done it this is

[2:55:48] not a job our job is to listen

[2:55:48] to the PRESIDENT Find ways and

[2:55:52] has amassed to mention that.

[2:55:57] Had had to propose

[2:55:58] was it somewhere in between is

[2:55:59] discussing this week earlier.

[2:56:04] Instead of going just with 36

[2:56:04] percent somewhere. It would be

[2:56:05] gradually 5 sandals somewhere

[2:56:09] people can live somewhere but

[2:56:10] at this point that was present

[2:56:10] there. I say I would I cannot

[2:56:13] support and that's we're going

[2:56:14] to vote to see where everybody

[2:56:14] sit with that one. At this

[2:56:21] point.

[2:56:22] >> So is that the solution was

[2:56:23] approving this assessment roll

[2:56:26] right foot of it if you would

[2:56:27] you would maintain maintain it,

[2:56:28] but you you're not approving

[2:56:33] that the system

[2:56:34] it's great. You want it to

[2:56:35] remain as it was in yes and

[2:56:36] that's why the other and still

[2:56:36] find a other adjustments

[2:56:37] necessary to still meet and

[2:56:40] essential fire risk, a private

[2:56:44] service.

[2:56:45] Okay was their second. It's

[2:56:45] been moved. The second second

[2:56:48] MADAM Clerk, the roll call

[2:56:51] please.

[2:56:56] Commissioner Martin.

[2:56:57] Through the chair Mary before

[2:56:58] we take a roll call is We

[2:57:05] believe it at comments do they

[2:57:06] comments well. I mean I we

[2:57:07] could negotiate a motion make a

[2:57:07] motion that's fine. I mean if

[2:57:08] you have any Victoria Moore,

[2:57:09] yes, because the reason being

[2:57:09] is because I would love to hear

[2:57:10] from staff with the

[2:57:14] consequences.

[2:57:14] >> I know I have talked to

[2:57:18] Steph

[2:57:19] several times right and I get

[2:57:19] you know it's one of those

[2:57:21] years.

[2:57:24] However, this is

[2:57:24] very important and so can you

[2:57:25] please course you can just kind

[2:57:34] of explain to us if that's okay

[2:57:35] with the mayor. The chair.

[2:57:40] The chair. The crime.

[2:57:40] >> How does that work well you

[2:57:41] need there was a motion a

[2:57:45] second is usually after the

[2:57:46] motion and the second is a

[2:57:46] discussion. There's no

[2:57:48] discussion

[2:57:48] after that right there is that

[2:57:49] there's no there is no case in

[2:57:51] a different discussion motion

[2:57:56] second discussion.

[2:57:57] Because that was the first well

[2:57:57] we didn't have a motion for

[2:58:01] discussion, but it's fine.

[2:58:02] We didn't have that was the

[2:58:05] street to make a motion

[2:58:06] that which which you know says

[2:58:06] the hope is that yes so yeah

[2:58:09] you did make a motion of the

[2:58:10] ocean you made a motion pool to

[2:58:12] think so.

[2:58:13] >> Well is there anything that

[2:58:17] we can discuss this because I

[2:58:18] think the residents need

[2:58:18] to know the consequences of not

[2:58:19] raising I mean it doesn't have

[2:58:22] to be that amount but we moved

[2:58:23] to to something right just to

[2:58:30] say.

[2:58:30] >> It's okay, I'm gonna like

[2:58:31] that to happen but to the point

[2:58:36] is to the motion is to while

[2:58:36] was still do not approve it,

[2:58:41] but so.

[2:58:41] And mistress will identify

[2:58:42] appropriate funding, necessary

[2:58:45] adjust funnyman just

[2:58:49] unnecessary. The

[2:58:50] committee says consequence or

[2:58:50] not they're still going to

[2:58:55] receive the service the thing

[2:58:56] is the question was how far

[2:58:56] deep in the in the reserve, you

[2:58:58] know what we don't want to go

[2:58:59] to if you can find alternatives

[2:59:00] because now we're looking at

[2:59:06] cutting cutting but have we

[2:59:07] explore other. Just other ways

[2:59:08] to find so the rich don't have

[2:59:10] to go deep regard as the cause.

[2:59:11] Even if you do not increase it.

[2:59:12] This year event she's going to

[2:59:17] come up and with 3 budgets over

[2:59:18] that over explain. I just want

[2:59:19] to move the item there because

[2:59:22] at this point

[2:59:22] explaining the what he does he

[2:59:23] doesn't change anything the

[2:59:28] matter as far as I'm seeing

[2:59:29] and what residents this year

[2:59:29] white was okay, I can pull off

[2:59:32] a circle of it but the

[2:59:33] idea is it's about what could

[2:59:39] have been in this a long time

[2:59:39] it is resident don't want the

[2:59:40] cannot afford it. And they

[2:59:43] don't want to reach out to the

[2:59:44] same night we're not just saw

[2:59:45] the point the have to please

[2:59:46] you I'm going to have to act

[2:59:47] quickly because the whole time

[2:59:48] tonight to explain the

[2:59:52] consequences but I is what I

[2:59:53] would do it about it with the

[2:59:53] PRESIDENT Because I don't want

[2:59:59] to enter is it moral to morsi

[3:00:00] I'm selling my house because

[3:00:00] we're just going to run around

[3:00:03] a subject that simple as that

[3:00:03] go into it so can I please

[3:00:04] finish mayor is Go ahead with

[3:00:09] good. Thank you so much you're

[3:00:10] welcome very much ok so we need

[3:00:11] to understand this. We are in

[3:00:13] an titled. A city, okay, which

[3:00:19] means.

[3:00:20] >> We the senses I think what

[3:00:20] is under what 4040 something

[3:00:23] got how many people it's less

[3:00:25] than 50,000 less than

[3:00:25] 2006 1000 right. So so

[3:00:26] therefore we're not privy to

[3:00:33] certain things and I totally

[3:00:34] get it, I'm so for you know the

[3:00:34] cuts so for for keeping I'm

[3:00:39] certain

[3:00:39] certain great civic Center but

[3:00:40] we need to explain just because

[3:00:43] this is an election year.

[3:00:44] We have to understand the

[3:00:45] repercussions. Right, the

[3:00:51] long-term repercussions of what

[3:00:52] happened. The problem lies and

[3:00:52] has been is because we have not

[3:00:55] raise rates for all these

[3:00:55] numbers of years and now we're

[3:00:56] being hit and this is the

[3:01:00] recommendation from staff, okay

[3:01:01] so I want to hear from that I

[3:01:02] want to educate ok our

[3:01:04] residents but happening here

[3:01:04] because we might not raise it

[3:01:05] today, okay, but eventually

[3:01:09] we're going to have to and so

[3:01:10] we really need to you know just

[3:01:11] just kind of explain and so I'm

[3:01:21] Let me say something there.

[3:01:21] It is unfair. Just take our

[3:01:27] time. Over a month.

[3:01:27] That we reap do we propose to

[3:01:28] have to budget. A town hall

[3:01:31] meetings.

[3:01:32] What happened here right here

[3:01:33] with many ways and shore up

[3:01:37] here.

[3:01:37] Others to 2 days later at the

[3:01:38] Oakbrook. How many

[3:01:43] commissioners assist attended

[3:01:44] the town hall meetings when

[3:01:44] that deal was to educate the

[3:01:47] residents.

[3:01:48] >> None of them. I mean how

[3:01:49] many of them were there and

[3:01:52] that was the top perfect time

[3:01:52] to do it. But we that will that

[3:01:53] what we using even right now

[3:02:00] we're using the taxpayers money

[3:02:01] right now. I want to say that

[3:02:01] it was a time perfect time.

[3:02:03] It was announced sunshine.

[3:02:04] Rez Commission it could have

[3:02:05] been here reason we're here

[3:02:10] there We don't have the numbers

[3:02:11] to fall back. The first one.

[3:02:12] The second was that it was the

[3:02:15] same purpose where it has.

[3:02:16] The department will present

[3:02:17] this assessment. They explain

[3:02:20] what's going to happen there

[3:02:20] see the Magic's plane. The

[3:02:21] consequence all that it was

[3:02:27] done explaining to those people

[3:02:27] have to ask a question. So this

[3:02:28] is not fair at this point

[3:02:32] again.

[3:02:33] To keep going the same thing

[3:02:33] that we're already did this

[3:02:37] mean for tonight

[3:02:38] is to approve or confined in

[3:02:38] midfield that's going to do

[3:02:42] that and that's the point I'm

[3:02:42] saying is if I don't if I

[3:02:48] Commission if I don't show up.

[3:02:49] And they the most reasons we're

[3:02:50] here already. Yeah it

[3:02:51] understand it. It's not for

[3:02:52] that which their time that's

[3:02:53] what I'm saying to the chair

[3:03:00] America faces this is not a

[3:03:01] waste of time education is kind

[3:03:01] of a waste of time to said, but

[3:03:04] we're going to help you When

[3:03:04] it's time to make at this point

[3:03:05] or your motion you continue to

[3:03:05] do

[3:03:07] this right.

[3:03:07] >> It's our responsibility

[3:03:08] whether they're there or not

[3:03:12] because there's there's people

[3:03:13] here residents are here.

[3:03:18] They do not

[3:03:19] understand this. So I am being

[3:03:19] responsible by asking hartsock

[3:03:23] you can come up just explain a

[3:03:23] little bit if we choose to keep

[3:03:24] the assessment as is we will

[3:03:27] keep as it

[3:03:28] is however we need to just you

[3:03:29] know just give them a little

[3:03:31] snippet of what's going on and

[3:03:32] what are the consequences

[3:03:33] that's all because as of

[3:03:39] NOVEMBER, 3rd if that property

[3:03:40] tax does get approved right.

[3:03:40] A lot changes we need to

[3:03:46] understand and so we don't have

[3:03:47] in in the future people are

[3:03:48] coming to City Hall and say why

[3:03:52] were we educate was in the

[3:03:53] center at least you know goes

[3:03:53] that that are watching and and

[3:03:57] and those that did not attend

[3:03:58] this got me that's a tell me I

[3:03:59] can't get just that you could

[3:04:00] just be educated as a mayor

[3:04:01] that it just as you kill your

[3:04:04] point is worth taking.

[3:04:09] >> If we count how many

[3:04:10] people here and we have that

[3:04:10] means we have another 40's,

[3:04:13] some 1000 there so that that

[3:04:13] property that they're so the

[3:04:14] point is we made it just it

[3:04:20] just

[3:04:21] made here chief it or explain

[3:04:21] what it is and we what I'm

[3:04:26] saying is let's move on is

[3:04:26] 6 right now will we decide that

[3:04:27] we're going to maintain it yeah

[3:04:30] staff I want to do let's move

[3:04:34] on if you want to take the

[3:04:34] people's time, I'm good with

[3:04:35] that we're not taking the okay

[3:04:37] okay, let's go

[3:04:38] for education, let's go for it

[3:04:38] and that's ok this this

[3:04:41] morning. Thank you. All right

[3:04:47] education.

[3:04:48] >> Okay and regards to how that

[3:04:49] will the budget

[3:04:50] itself so this is not the

[3:04:51] slide. But I'm just going to

[3:04:53] speak off from what I have here

[3:04:57] is the

[3:04:57] data so the budget being

[3:05:00] 15 million 5,

[3:05:01] 6, 5, 3, 9, 1, If we keep the

[3:05:07] assessment at the current rate.

[3:05:08] We will be generated I'm

[3:05:09] Approximately 6 million 600 and

[3:05:12] 32.

[3:05:13] 8.11 and the

[3:05:18] assessment revenues.

[3:05:18] >> And what that would mean is

[3:05:19] that there would be a shortfall

[3:05:21] in the budget or

[3:05:24] a gap of 7.1 million

[3:05:25] dollars however, the general

[3:05:26] fund itself will still right

[3:05:31] now we'll have that one point.

[3:05:31] 1, 6, 2, 1, 9, 6, That is

[3:05:35] already factored into

[3:05:36] the budget but in order to meet

[3:05:36] the gap between that 7.1

[3:05:41] million and the 1.1 6, 2,

[3:05:42] that's already in the general

[3:05:42] fund. The general fund would

[3:05:45] have to supplement

[3:05:46] the fire fun by almost

[3:05:47] 6 million dollars so a little

[3:05:50] over 5.9 million dollars in

[3:05:51] order to keep the proposed

[3:05:56] budget as what

[3:05:57] it is. Thank you so that that

[3:05:57] will be on the general fund

[3:06:00] side of it and also has a lot

[3:06:01] of them didn't know that this

[3:06:01] is why I say education is so

[3:06:05] important because there's many

[3:06:06] people that were in here so to

[3:06:07] hear that is very important to

[3:06:08] hear. Thank you so much all

[3:06:08] right, thank thank we're

[3:06:11] looking at.

[3:06:12] >> What the revenues will

[3:06:19] generate that's true.

[3:06:20] We got this I have to look at

[3:06:20] how much. He's going to pass.

[3:06:25] My residents. To provide the

[3:06:25] services, it was the same

[3:06:26] reason that again we're going

[3:06:27] to ask to increase

[3:06:27] every else. It's so it's

[3:06:28] perfect to educate. But I'm

[3:06:34] just going to say my job is to

[3:06:35] make sure that I look what I

[3:06:36] would I would keep the costs

[3:06:38] down for us that's the only

[3:06:38] there and I'm not I'm not

[3:06:39] against that but that's also

[3:06:47] why we hire. We have experts.

[3:06:48] People walk that's their job to

[3:06:49] the fight with other because

[3:06:57] because we not entitlement

[3:06:57] city. Means that we're to

[3:06:58] Atlantic to neighbors that we

[3:07:01] have one is a 7 6,000

[3:07:01] population. It was 60 some 1000

[3:07:02] population there were only 45

[3:07:05] times we do not get the same

[3:07:10] federal funding received.

[3:07:10] Until we reach 50,000 it then

[3:07:11] I'm at my estimation we're

[3:07:16] going to do with just about

[3:07:17] 1.2 billion there for 10 years.

[3:07:17] So is understand the same or is

[3:07:20] that there.

[3:07:20] How many time we educate that's

[3:07:21] a point but but the point is

[3:07:25] what are we doing about it when

[3:07:26] they come for them too we're

[3:07:26] asking to pay pay pay and

[3:07:31] people going to leave no

[3:07:32] Florida deal to go to another

[3:07:33] city. Close by when you were

[3:07:37] moved away because.

[3:07:38] We've we've got control exactly

[3:07:38] what it is whatever needs to be

[3:07:41] done is to be that. But just

[3:07:41] missed so many other ways to

[3:07:42] find at this I'm going to keep

[3:07:44] it at this point so MADAME

[3:07:45] Clark has been moved and second

[3:07:46] please the roll call everybody

[3:07:56] is one vote here. Thank you.

[3:07:57] The more it was more than

[3:08:13] vote just quick We set 3 here.

[3:08:14] At the second really will be a

[3:08:14] moment going to do anything

[3:08:17] where there's no set.

[3:08:23] >> This is this is the

[3:08:24] >> that motion is to maintain

[3:08:25] the rage assessment though it

[3:08:28] is all the more reason to

[3:08:29] whatever it is that's all that

[3:08:30] that's what it's about. Okay

[3:08:38] now. And they're board tonight.

[3:08:39] It was a 3 to did you call the

[3:08:40] vice mayor decided to vote in

[3:08:43] the Senate he voted yes, it was

[3:09:52] >> I'm going to ask one more

[3:09:52] time please walk some respect

[3:09:55] for city attorney is reading

[3:10:01] it please.

[3:10:02] No no I know I hear we hear a

[3:10:03] lot I don't know who exactly

[3:10:06] was big but we are a lot of

[3:10:07] other people. Appreciate that

[3:10:08] we appreciate it because just

[3:10:11] don't even listen at home

[3:10:12] watching their hearing. They do

[3:10:22] everything in the background.

[3:10:22] Serve about it. I've read it.

[3:10:26] I have read it,

[3:10:26] city manager who's going to

[3:10:27] present his budget manager

[3:10:30] MISTER Mayor will make his

[3:10:39] presentation. Thank you.

[3:10:40] >> All right proposed budget

[3:10:43] for the solid waste fund for

[3:10:49] 2027 is 4 million 576

[3:10:49] 800. How did we get to that

[3:10:50] balance budget so the

[3:10:56] assessment that the coast here

[3:10:57] is that 5.75 which would

[3:10:58] generate 4 million to 71 1, 3,

[3:11:00] 91. In revenues and then we

[3:11:07] have some other

[3:11:08] that was you know unit that

[3:11:09] will be generated through other

[3:11:17] sources of almost a 157,000.

[3:11:18] And then we are using from that

[3:11:18] fund itself fund balance of a

[3:11:25] 100 and almost a $149,000.

[3:11:26] So that's how we were able to

[3:11:26] the current but balanced budget

[3:11:29] of the 4.7 6 800. Has proposed

[3:11:33] for the solid waste funds.

[3:11:33] Primarily what's in here is

[3:11:36] just the solid

[3:11:37] waste contract. And that you

[3:11:38] know has likened the increased

[3:11:42] and that's what we actually

[3:11:43] budgeted for here the contract

[3:11:43] in order to be able to. You

[3:11:47] know cover the expenditures are

[3:11:48] related to that contract.

[3:11:51] For that fund.

[3:11:52] I think that's

[3:11:56] about okay.

[3:11:57] >> I'm going to take the same

[3:11:57] question and Commission Martin

[3:12:01] has at this point to present

[3:12:10] exactly. There.

[3:12:10] Yes you explain how you

[3:12:11] achieved that, but does that

[3:12:14] same should

[3:12:15] the reason for the proposed

[3:12:16] increase in the financial

[3:12:19] maintaining existing rate cut.

[3:12:42] Okay.

[3:12:49] >> Okay

[3:12:50] I chair in regards to current

[3:12:56] assessment of the

[3:12:57] 4.99. What we basically have

[3:12:58] budgeted here is just the cpi

[3:13:00] increase of the contract in

[3:13:01] order to be able to achieve the

[3:13:01] balance budget to pay for the.

[3:13:09] Contract that we have with the

[3:13:10] solid waste so that's that 4

[3:13:10] point you know 4.5 7, 6, 8,

[3:13:15] 100. So I regards to that.

[3:13:16] If we were to keep the

[3:13:16] assessment at the same we would

[3:13:19] not we would generate less

[3:13:20] revenues that we will be

[3:13:21] looking at approximately 3.7

[3:13:23] million dollars has 3.6 9, 4,

[3:13:28] 3, 6,

[3:13:29] And other assessments that was

[3:13:30] stay the the revenues rather

[3:13:35] would stay the same. So it

[3:13:36] would mean that the fund would

[3:13:36] need to be supplemented by

[3:13:40] another 721 $1000 additional

[3:13:41] that the final really does not

[3:13:42] have right now so we would need

[3:13:46] to close that gap of almost you

[3:13:47] know $500,000 in order to find

[3:13:48] that if we were to keep the

[3:13:55] assessment at the current rate.

[3:14:01] >> done yes I

[3:14:02] thank you. We will not hear

[3:14:02] from the public regarding

[3:14:08] assessment please.

[3:14:09] And we're trying to the minute

[3:14:10] at tremendous please. Thank you

[3:14:13] couldn't sing

[3:14:14] commissioner Mayer. I recognize

[3:14:19] that drainage Canal.

[3:14:19] Maintenance and flood control

[3:14:20] are essential. However I have

[3:14:24] to consider my costs my

[3:14:25] overhead my annual assessment.

[3:14:28] In this particular.

[3:14:29] >> You're speaking on the round

[3:14:30] one were speaking on the solid

[3:14:34] waste right now. Yes.

[3:14:35] >> My annual assessment is

[3:14:37] increasing from 95 to

[3:14:43] 200 on that.

[3:14:43] >> Tell me about this his solid

[3:14:44] waste your Us water control and

[3:14:49] solid waste my apologies think

[3:14:49] a year speak out the storm

[3:14:50] water. That's the college's out

[3:14:54] all come back.

[3:14:55] You'd like me to do now so now

[3:14:56] you know if you want to speak

[3:14:58] on the solid waste solid way

[3:14:59] comments on the solid waste

[3:15:05] right now have to come back.

[3:15:05] >> Next speaker please you saw

[3:15:06] with you if you aren't you

[3:15:09] could be right here, he's so

[3:15:16] solid waste into place.

[3:15:17] >> I got my name is rana

[3:15:23] Carmichael

[3:15:24] 2040 winner circle. The basic

[3:15:24] up a little bit sorry that

[3:15:26] waste costs are something that

[3:15:27] impact my community

[3:15:28] substantially because we are in

[3:15:30] an H.O.A. And the city contract

[3:15:35] requires us

[3:15:35] to use waste management and

[3:15:36] gives us no option for and

[3:15:44] other waste removal services

[3:15:45] and we currently spend in my

[3:15:45] community as fiscal year 2020 I

[3:15:50] $210,000 a year for waste

[3:15:51] collection which is about $70

[3:15:52] per homeowner in my community

[3:15:55] per month. This is

[3:15:56] a contract that I would like to

[3:15:59] ask if there's any opportunity

[3:16:00] to renegotiate the increase as

[3:16:01] I know that race management

[3:16:04] does negotiate increases even

[3:16:05] though they might be in the

[3:16:06] contracts. So that you can

[3:16:10] reduce the amount because it is

[3:16:10] a very high cost to the people

[3:16:11] that are living in commute.

[3:16:15] Communities like fight.

[3:16:25] Thank you. Next speaker please.

[3:16:26] >> So I don't know properties

[3:16:26] in South Florida and grow and

[3:16:31] being miami-dade.

[3:16:31] This property will also bombed

[3:16:32] at the same as the Lady before

[3:16:35] me said we are bonded by waste

[3:16:35] management and frankly they're

[3:16:40] killing us.

[3:16:40] The miami-dade unincorporated

[3:16:41] Dade we also have waste

[3:16:45] Management doesn't

[3:16:45] but guess what do we don't have

[3:16:46] to use that I'm paying a

[3:16:52] fraction on think about 25%

[3:16:53] for more camping in the

[3:16:54] building here. About this Derby

[3:16:59] league is smaller building the

[3:17:00] smaller. But big cost is a

[3:17:01] fraction. A fraction. Waste

[3:17:05] Management something to do for

[3:17:05] us if they have a contract with

[3:17:06] you and we must use them and

[3:17:10] it's beyond painful.

[3:17:11] All right the next person

[3:17:14] please.

[3:17:17] Again my name is

[3:17:18] Linda ashtray I'm going to

[3:17:19] speak on the

[3:17:24] solid waste.

[3:17:25] >> For this particular item my

[3:17:26] annual solid waste charge has

[3:17:32] increased from 4.99.

[3:17:33] 2, 5, 75. This is an increase

[3:17:33] of $76 which is approximately

[3:17:35] 15% for me. I do recognize that

[3:17:35] garbage and recycling

[3:17:36] collections are necessary

[3:17:39] municipal services and that

[3:17:39] labor fuel equipment disposal

[3:17:42] costs are can

[3:17:42] increase however as a resident

[3:17:43] we should not be expected to

[3:17:46] approve a higher assessment

[3:17:50] without a clear explanation

[3:17:51] of what it is driving the

[3:17:51] increase and what the city has

[3:17:53] done to control

[3:17:53] those costs before approving

[3:17:54] the 5.75 assessment please

[3:17:59] explain how much of this

[3:17:59] increase results from the waste

[3:18:00] collection contract. Disposal

[3:18:07] fee administrative expenses

[3:18:07] or additional services did the

[3:18:08] city competitively bid or

[3:18:13] renegotiate the contract were

[3:18:14] alternative services arranged a

[3:18:14] evaluated has the contractor's

[3:18:17] performance justify the

[3:18:18] increase costs. Again, you know

[3:18:19] this is a fix charge that does

[3:18:25] not consider property value,

[3:18:26] our household income for

[3:18:26] seniors like myself. I am on

[3:18:30] the lower income now and

[3:18:31] residents. Another $76 MAY

[3:18:32] appear modest with the overall

[3:18:37] budget but it becomes

[3:18:38] significant when combined with

[3:18:39] the proposed increased in fire

[3:18:40] rescue water control storm

[3:18:41] water assessment again I would

[3:18:42] like to ask the commission to

[3:18:44] explore renegotiating the

[3:18:44] contract reducing

[3:18:45] administrative expenses

[3:18:52] applying available solid well

[3:18:52] way waist for sars improved

[3:18:53] improving collection

[3:18:59] efficiencies and phasing

[3:18:59] in any unavoidable increases

[3:19:00] the city should also consider

[3:19:02] lawful hardship assistance for

[3:19:02] qualifying low-income

[3:19:03] residents. I support reliable

[3:19:07] solid waste services, but

[3:19:08] residents deserve proof that

[3:19:08] the proposed check charges

[3:19:11] reflect the low Lois Riess Abul

[3:19:11] costs not simply the amount

[3:19:12] needed to balance the budget.

[3:19:15] Thank you so much please

[3:19:16] reconsider the 5, 7, 5 a

[3:19:17] suspect and adopt the most

[3:19:19] affordable rate. Thank you so

[3:19:20] much. Thank u next person,

[3:19:29] he's.

[3:19:30] >> Good evening. Again.

[3:19:31] Commissioner mayor vice mayor

[3:19:39] city manager city attorney or

[3:19:40] city. I'm Clark. The question I

[3:19:41] to cover up the deficits.

[3:19:46] I want to get past whatever

[3:19:46] are we in essence, our plan is

[3:19:47] so quietly train our reserves.

[3:19:53] In addition.

[3:19:54] I'm not opposing obviously on

[3:19:55] the resident I'm not opposing

[3:19:59] us balancing our budget.

[3:19:59] But the issue I'm having is

[3:20:00] what specific steps have we've

[3:20:03] taken to go live line by line

[3:20:07] to make sure that although

[3:20:07] we are prowling bringing the

[3:20:08] county's keeping the rates the

[3:20:11] same.

[3:20:11] What are we doing to make sure

[3:20:12] that if something happens like

[3:20:16] a hurricane or things like that

[3:20:16] that we're not demolishing our

[3:20:17] reserve just so that we can get

[3:20:22] past an election year. That's

[3:20:22] my question. All right, thank

[3:20:27] you next person.

[3:20:32] >> Have

[3:20:33] been done. We're going to bring

[3:20:33] it up here unless you want to

[3:20:37] yes, MISTER Arafat could

[3:20:41] the solid waste really

[3:20:42] consists of just 2 contracts,

[3:20:43] its waste management that goes

[3:20:44] around picking up

[3:20:45] the garbage and then it is our

[3:20:46] live radar where the garbage is

[3:20:51] stopped and so we pay to have

[3:20:52] it picked up. And we pay for

[3:20:52] this post and so I'm there

[3:21:00] isn't a lot in this budget or

[3:21:00] are really you know hardly

[3:21:01] anything in this budget that we

[3:21:04] can cut out of it.

[3:21:05] It is I'm basically a service

[3:21:11] contract. Yeah in

[3:21:12] the budget. Last year we used

[3:21:13] reserves out of the solid waste

[3:21:15] fun, too. Our keep the

[3:21:16] assessment lower. This year

[3:21:16] we're using the remaining

[3:21:27] $126,000 in reserves. And so.

[3:21:27] I certainly understand reducing

[3:21:28] the fire they're there. That

[3:21:31] the way we.

[3:21:31] Our Kate fire rescue is

[3:21:32] different than the way some

[3:21:40] other cities do it. That's

[3:21:41] neither here nor there at this

[3:21:41] point. But I would I would ask

[3:21:45] that this rate

[3:21:46] be approved because we cannot

[3:21:47] keep using reserves right to

[3:21:50] dump

[3:21:51] and more another million

[3:21:52] dollars into this because we

[3:21:57] don't want to pay the fare the

[3:21:58] other costs of the solid waste.

[3:21:58] If the direction from the

[3:22:03] commission is to you know put

[3:22:03] this out for bid down the road

[3:22:04] too explore with waste

[3:22:10] Management whether or not we

[3:22:11] can renegotiate any clauses in

[3:22:11] the contract that's separate

[3:22:13] from the assessment because

[3:22:13] we need to get this is their

[3:22:14] costs this is waste

[3:22:19] management's cost to pick up

[3:22:20] our garbage and this is you

[3:22:21] know real Raiders cost to

[3:22:23] dispose of

[3:22:23] the garbage once it's taken

[3:22:24] there or the or where are all

[3:22:30] those to dispose of that as

[3:22:30] well so I I would strongly ask

[3:22:31] for your consideration. Right

[3:22:36] because we're going to bring

[3:22:37] you back a budget at 7.4 Mills

[3:22:38] that doesn't use that the

[3:22:41] reserves but we're going to

[3:22:41] have to throw in almost

[3:22:42] 5 million dollars in reserve

[3:22:46] just for the fire rescue now.

[3:22:47] And so we would strongly ask

[3:22:47] that these remaining.

[3:22:50] Assessments. Stay the way their

[3:22:57] proposed thank you.

[3:22:58] >> comments because we've got

[3:23:02] up here.

[3:23:03] >> Any question here but the

[3:23:04] commission through the chair

[3:23:08] you're recognized.

[3:23:09] >> This is exactly what I was

[3:23:13] saying earlier and.

[3:23:14] This is why I felt it was a

[3:23:14] real need to explain

[3:23:19] consequences.

[3:23:20] Is that a gang city manager.

[3:23:26] Can you please see me.

[3:23:27] History has 2 years how much

[3:23:27] you actually use in our

[3:23:30] reserve. Weeks. And now you

[3:23:36] just mentioned.

[3:23:36] To cover. Fire rescue. We have

[3:23:42] to take what 5 Million.

[3:23:43] >> So it it was about 5 million

[3:23:44] dollars. More than that close

[3:23:51] to 6.

[3:23:52] I don't think tonight the

[3:23:52] commission is being

[3:23:57] responsible.

[3:23:58] I know they were trying to

[3:23:59] appease but education part was

[3:24:12] so important.

[3:24:13] 2 gone to that place and trying

[3:24:14] to can we can we can re keep it

[3:24:20] civil a list

[3:24:20] that cost that way I'm sorry I

[3:24:21] just understood part of the

[3:24:23] commissioners to make

[3:24:23] statements inclusive state okay

[3:24:24] okay, thank you to respect for

[3:24:32] these.

[3:24:33] >> When we vote yes. I was

[3:24:33] talking about. The voted yes

[3:24:38] and I'm

[3:24:39] commissioner who is the least

[3:24:40] we could lose who are part of

[3:24:45] that. Yes group.

[3:24:45] What I'm saying is I thought

[3:24:46] what we're trying to do is come

[3:24:50] to a middle

[3:24:51] ground here. We have spoke to

[3:24:51] staff for the past couple of

[3:24:56] months. Staff is hired.

[3:24:57] Because their experts to brain

[3:25:03] game. Information data except

[3:25:04] and now again we're dipping in

[3:25:04] the reserves. I would love to

[3:25:10] know the past 2 years. How much

[3:25:11] we have literally spent.

[3:25:12] And what is the consequences of

[3:25:17] us actually continually peeping

[3:25:18] into the reserves. Because

[3:25:19] again if we were to have a you

[3:25:23] know, I mean is Hurricanes

[3:25:23] season. I because a lot that's

[3:25:24] going on. And the last thing we

[3:25:27] want is not having funds to

[3:25:28] cover certain things. Thank you

[3:25:36] so much.

[3:25:37] Any other commissioner. Have

[3:25:41] been on the go.

[3:25:41] I understand commissioner Mark

[3:25:44] fields,

[3:25:45] concern but when you say that

[3:25:46] commission is not responsible

[3:25:48] tonight.

[3:25:49] >> I would like to know what is

[3:25:51] our role.

[3:25:52] As commission. When we go for

[3:25:58] election.

[3:25:59] Do we say we're I know working

[3:25:59] in the city but for the

[3:26:04] resident. This is why. I

[3:26:04] respect what you just

[3:26:09] mentioned. But

[3:26:09] if if if we can't find it the

[3:26:10] same resonance it over and over

[3:26:18] we hear from the resident, the

[3:26:19] same residence. Just its supply

[3:26:19] just. Anyone want to go.

[3:26:25] The same reason. That we're

[3:26:26] hiring. He's good. Over in in

[3:26:26] the middle anytime we want

[3:26:33] because I mean not we. What is

[3:26:34] the city and the commission

[3:26:37] together. If we're not taking

[3:26:38] consideration there. Okay have

[3:26:38] reserve I'm the I'm trying not

[3:26:41] to touch it that's true.

[3:26:42] But what other types of 10 and

[3:26:43] we try trying to get.

[3:26:49] Understand that we're see an

[3:26:49] entire month. A lot of things

[3:26:50] the same thing we try to remove

[3:26:53] some events.

[3:26:53] Can we charge for them some of

[3:26:58] them.

[3:26:58] Find other grants look for

[3:26:59] grants because you're for

[3:27:02] special was especially this

[3:27:02] expert. It has a grants

[3:27:06] available.

[3:27:07] You can give me a list of how

[3:27:08] many aggression cannot get but

[3:27:10] finding Chris you can get.

[3:27:11] I mean other revenues we can

[3:27:12] get 5 other source of revenue

[3:27:18] to do something I want to see

[3:27:19] today we say we find so many

[3:27:19] other revenues to find a way.

[3:27:22] I'm going to I will agree with

[3:27:22] you, but my job here our job

[3:27:23] here at this point is still too

[3:27:28] see how we can cut it down for

[3:27:29] the resident, the same with

[3:27:30] charge every way. But let me

[3:27:33] let me bring something else

[3:27:33] how much she imagine how much

[3:27:34] it is costing resident right

[3:27:37] now for the recycle site can

[3:27:42] be says.

[3:27:42] >> The total cost for the

[3:27:43] recycling. Well, I mean that I

[3:27:49] don't think we ever broken down

[3:27:49] by recycling or not the total

[3:27:50] cost that the residents pay are

[3:27:54] right now are $499

[3:27:54] a year. That's for garbage

[3:27:55] pickup we pick up that they do

[3:27:56] pick up to recycle as well as

[3:27:57] the ball, so it's for 99, okay

[3:27:58] so it's in the point is in an

[3:28:02] effort I think it's just what

[3:28:02] you say is an expert how will

[3:28:05] the been we've been

[3:28:05] paying for recycling in this in

[3:28:06] in broad kind of us who says

[3:28:08] you know Florida. How many

[3:28:15] years we've been doing that.

[3:28:15] Then believe in paying recycle

[3:28:16] probably for about 20 years 20

[3:28:20] years, but recently with this

[3:28:21] with it with what police

[3:28:22] they've been they've been our

[3:28:24] contractor for about 3 years so

[3:28:25] the last 2 years, ok,

[3:28:26] currently.

[3:28:27] How effective is recycling

[3:28:27] right now for the result if

[3:28:30] paying their pain for both how

[3:28:38] effective it is.

[3:28:39] Recycling is not very effective

[3:28:39] right now I don't for yeah, I

[3:28:42] mean duh the market has fallen

[3:28:44] off from recycled goods

[3:28:45] so recycling is not something

[3:28:46] that is is has a value right,

[3:28:51] but yet yet risen up in charge

[3:28:51] for that. You know my risen to

[3:28:53] I mean I hear from isn't going

[3:28:54] to undermine the reason these 2

[3:28:55] are charged with something is

[3:29:00] that the U.S.. Well what with

[3:29:01] all due respect whether it's in

[3:29:05] the Blue can or the

[3:29:06] Brown can. Residents are are

[3:29:06] putting it in right and waste

[3:29:09] management is picking up and

[3:29:10] and they were paying to dispose

[3:29:11] of their trip to the point the

[3:29:15] point is it I'm reaping what

[3:29:15] prison is telling okay. Why are

[3:29:16] they paying for something or

[3:29:19] they could just put it all into

[3:29:19] one cup is just what they want

[3:29:20] one fee instead of paying

[3:29:24] specifically for recycling and

[3:29:25] so on that's a good point there

[3:29:26] so if we were looking at that

[3:29:28] one at the base and bases and

[3:29:31] assessment.

[3:29:31] I have 2 going on with the

[3:29:32] business say that why should we

[3:29:36] keep reading and where we

[3:29:37] cannot even Erie to care

[3:29:37] because this is recycling is a

[3:29:42] big issue in the know in

[3:29:43] Broward County in North

[3:29:43] Lauderdale. So I'm going to

[3:29:47] concede I have to concede that.

[3:29:48] So as we asked to keep those

[3:29:48] assistant down I mean I do not

[3:29:52] doubt that we keep the way it

[3:29:52] is but there we need to hear to

[3:29:53] what Reza not complaining why

[3:29:59] the thing some of them I think

[3:29:59] going to the extreme too

[3:30:00] separate and then in the

[3:30:03] mission for recently that.

[3:30:03] Everything goes to it to one

[3:30:04] point so why you're paying for

[3:30:10] for sorting it out and what is

[3:30:10] that it's not working. So

[3:30:11] that's that's my argument is

[3:30:13] going to be here for with

[3:30:13] a resident. So if you're

[3:30:14] watching we go off and in with

[3:30:18] the same thing. So therefore.

[3:30:19] Everybody spoke at this point

[3:30:27] so.

[3:30:28] I'm going to say that again as

[3:30:29] as at this particular time in

[3:30:31] under the current circumstances

[3:30:32] I do not support increasing

[3:30:39] this assessment again.

[3:30:39] Repeatedly expressed their

[3:30:40] consent apart affordability for

[3:30:45] this one there.

[3:30:46] And I'm King's use its magic

[3:30:47] and find adjustment necessary

[3:30:49] to maintain. This service is

[3:30:52] still.

[3:30:53] For this time to get through

[3:31:01] the chair.

[3:31:02] I did ask you for buddy had

[3:31:03] something that nobody I get

[3:31:03] okay that was a

[3:31:09] making there.

[3:31:09] >> I'll give you a few seconds

[3:31:10] and then I was very active

[3:31:13] scene to see vice mayor grad

[3:31:14] so I'm just going to cut it at

[3:31:15] some point and I I support the

[3:31:20] motion.

[3:31:20] >> 6 to recycling. Manager yes,

[3:31:28] ma'am.

[3:31:29] Can you please explain again

[3:31:30] why this I'm not saying that

[3:31:34] you know we should whatever is

[3:31:35] being proposed tonight she just

[3:31:36] go along with it but maybe we

[3:31:39] can meet halfway or something

[3:31:40] because again can you explain

[3:31:48] the consequences please.

[3:31:48] >> Yes, I'm last year's cost

[3:31:52] was

[3:31:53] 4.1 million dollars. And that

[3:31:54] would and the revenue that we

[3:31:56] brought in was 4.1 million

[3:32:00] dollars off of the

[3:32:04] $499. The new cost is

[3:32:05] 4.6 million dollars and off

[3:32:05] about 4.6 million dollars were

[3:32:10] looking

[3:32:11] to increase the solid waste

[3:32:12] rate by $76 to 5.75. And so

[3:32:16] action.

[3:32:17] The commission agreeing to

[3:32:18] raise solid waste. We're

[3:32:23] looking at.

[3:32:23] Another 4, $500,000 out of

[3:32:24] reserves that will need to use

[3:32:27] to balance this budget now we

[3:32:27] will reach out to waste

[3:32:29] Management.

[3:32:29] We were all asked waste

[3:32:30] management to give us a new

[3:32:38] proposal where we do follow

[3:32:39] once a month or we do a ball

[3:32:40] quarterly. We will walk out

[3:32:42] what we spend for the high and

[3:32:43] we do it once a month we will

[3:32:43] as we do both right now once a

[3:32:44] We will ask waste management to

[3:32:48] give us a new proposal.

[3:32:50] >> To do pop once a month

[3:32:53] or quarterly.

[3:32:54] >> Once every quarter now what

[3:32:55] happens is because I have those

[3:32:59] apartment complex is back there

[3:32:59] right. And if we don't have

[3:33:03] consistent. Okay people picking

[3:33:04] up garbage then we continue

[3:33:05] that garbage dump back there it

[3:33:08] is going to issue.

[3:33:09] But what this book and the book

[3:33:14] so so.

[3:33:15] >> So you see so commissioner,

[3:33:18] the

[3:33:19] are under the city's service

[3:33:20] right to have a contract with

[3:33:24] waste Management for correct.

[3:33:24] If we come back, they MAY cut

[3:33:25] back and if they don't pick up

[3:33:31] you know about the weekly basis

[3:33:32] that could become a problem.

[3:33:33] The other thing will look at is

[3:33:35] you know as as part of we have

[3:33:39] the agreement for the recycle

[3:33:40] paint program and the household

[3:33:41] hazardous waste where we do

[3:33:41] that here in the adopt

[3:33:42] the streets. We'll have to look

[3:33:43] at that and see if that's

[3:33:47] something that we can

[3:33:48] eliminate. Because again my

[3:33:48] concern is right we've shared

[3:33:52] these numbers with the

[3:33:52] commission we have about

[3:33:53] 20 million dollars in on

[3:34:02] designated reserves. We have.

[3:34:02] About 40 plus million dollars

[3:34:03] in designated reserves and one

[3:34:06] of those designated is if we

[3:34:07] have a hurricane right so we

[3:34:10] have money set aside for that.

[3:34:11] However if we're going to news

[3:34:17] 6 or 7 million dollars

[3:34:18] this year. R 19 million dollars

[3:34:18] goes to 12 million dollars

[3:34:27] right or maybe even less and

[3:34:28] so I'm I I empathetic. With the

[3:34:28] cost of the fire rescue sea.

[3:34:32] Right and I understand. The

[3:34:39] desire to lower.

[3:34:39] Right yeah, this has a reserve

[3:34:40] and

[3:34:44] so we.

[3:34:45] >> Understand times are you

[3:34:45] saying what has no is a solid

[3:34:49] special revenue fund has no

[3:34:50] reserves left in it. So the

[3:34:55] reason

[3:34:56] that again the solid waste

[3:34:57] special revenue fund has no

[3:35:00] reserves left and so the solid

[3:35:01] waste. The people are paid in

[3:35:07] the past won't be able

[3:35:07] to pay moving forward the 126

[3:35:08] it won't be able to do it again

[3:35:12] that the reserves. So whatever

[3:35:12] reserves are needed to balance

[3:35:13] this won't come from solid

[3:35:16] waste and what residents of

[3:35:17] pain from solid waste in the

[3:35:19] past and so.

[3:35:26] To to soften the blow right

[3:35:27] to you is there any desire to

[3:35:31] go to for 99 to 5.50

[3:35:32] 5.30 but to bring in some

[3:35:32] additional revenue because

[3:35:39] we're not able to right that

[3:35:39] the more we use reserves,

[3:35:40] right. For 5 years from now.

[3:35:47] You know there could be issues

[3:35:47] if property tax Casas next year

[3:35:48] next budget year we only

[3:35:55] lynnea's 3 million dollars.

[3:35:56] The year after when it goes

[3:35:57] from one 25 to $250,000 action.

[3:35:59] We go

[3:36:00] we lose about 4 and a half

[3:36:00] million dollars when it goes

[3:36:07] the $500,000. We lose about

[3:36:08] 7 million dollars. Ok and these

[3:36:08] services are still going to

[3:36:09] have to be paid for right

[3:36:10] because we still need to pick

[3:36:10] up garbage, we still need to

[3:36:14] have a fire Department we still

[3:36:14] need our Police Department we

[3:36:15] MAY not have much of anything

[3:36:21] else after that but we need to

[3:36:21] make sure that you know we are

[3:36:22] starting to pay. You know that

[3:36:26] the residents are paying for

[3:36:26] the cost of the service and as

[3:36:27] I said earlier right it's the

[3:36:31] will of the commission is for

[3:36:32] us to negotiate with waste

[3:36:32] Management we can certainly do

[3:36:39] that right but that negotiation

[3:36:40] won't be instant. Right so if

[3:36:41] it takes 2 months to come to a

[3:36:46] new agreement or

[3:36:47] 3 months. All right we start to

[3:36:48] lose money on the service until

[3:36:51] right and until we're able to

[3:36:51] to get to a point where the

[3:36:52] service is out the price that

[3:36:57] we're charging

[3:36:58] and it's a direction again from

[3:36:59] the commission today is to use

[3:37:01] Wright reserves to balance

[3:37:02] this. We will reach out to

[3:37:03] waste Management tomorrow and

[3:37:09] we will ask to meet and we want

[3:37:10] conversations with them about

[3:37:10] all right, what is a costly do

[3:37:14] ball once a month. Right does

[3:37:14] not create a problem for the

[3:37:15] residents it well because

[3:37:16] they're going to store their

[3:37:17] ball until it's available

[3:37:18] they're not to be able to put

[3:37:23] it out on the swell. If we do

[3:37:23] both once a quarter it will be

[3:37:24] an issue. If we eliminate the

[3:37:26] ability to come here and dump

[3:37:27] your household hazardous waste,

[3:37:28] you're going to drive to one of

[3:37:30] the county locations to dump

[3:37:36] it.

[3:37:37] Those will also drive to drop

[3:37:38] to drive to one of the county

[3:37:42] locations so I would ask

[3:37:43] for some consideration right,

[3:37:44] it's 5.75 is too much. And the

[3:37:50] 4.99, isn't often can we need

[3:37:51] in the middle somewhere.

[3:37:56] You know 5 35 5

[3:37:57] 3540. But something so we can

[3:37:57] bring in some additional

[3:37:58] revenue to help offset

[3:38:00] those costs.

[3:38:00] >> That would be my recall okay

[3:38:01] all right, let me say I'm going

[3:38:04] to put that right I'm going to

[3:38:04] put my advocacy separate a hat

[3:38:08] on.

[3:38:09] Earlier one of the commissioner

[3:38:10] propose that we reduced salary

[3:38:13] for a firm that come but

[3:38:14] compensation that salary.

[3:38:20] For the commission that's fine.

[3:38:21] So overall you know where I'm

[3:38:21] going and I'm going to go to

[3:38:28] any way. I hear a lot of about

[3:38:28] touching the reserve

[3:38:33] consequences. Increase. I have

[3:38:33] not heard we're going to try to

[3:38:34] work find ways to fight other

[3:38:37] revenues in

[3:38:37] the city. He's made this MAY

[3:38:38] put a pertains to do that.

[3:38:42] But yet.

[3:38:43] Under state is the same

[3:38:43] resident that what I'm gonna

[3:38:46] come with same thing is same

[3:38:47] resident, we've got 5 reason

[3:38:47] why we need to increase it for

[3:38:53] them.

[3:38:54] Other salaries where top.

[3:38:55] Many of them are not looking

[3:39:00] at.

[3:39:00] Other projects we're not

[3:39:01] looking up to see to study to

[3:39:04] find out what about those.

[3:39:08] Because because because a lot.

[3:39:13] No no not all that.

[3:39:17] The same resident that we are.

[3:39:20] We want to raise up there.

[3:39:21] And they say it and I'm going

[3:39:27] to say it or is that too.

[3:39:28] They do not get increases in

[3:39:28] ivory ivory everything else

[3:39:32] they do not getting it some of

[3:39:33] them out of fixed income.

[3:39:34] They have to find it. That's

[3:39:36] what I'm looking at this.

[3:39:37] But that's my job at this

[3:39:40] point.

[3:39:41] What I would do for them we're

[3:39:41] we're we're getting other

[3:39:45] moneys from say ok this this

[3:39:46] cut those and applying for

[3:39:49] that.

[3:39:50] We had an issue earlier in is

[3:39:55] going to come back again.

[3:39:59] history show that there

[3:40:05] residents suffer from.

[3:40:07] A garbage company.

[3:40:08] It was about to me and all we

[3:40:08] have is never not been

[3:40:11] addressed. If that been

[3:40:16] addressed.

[3:40:17] To make it even worse. This is

[3:40:18] the same thing we discussed

[3:40:21] right now, ok I understand

[3:40:22] we've got to increase increase.

[3:40:27] What is it would go.

[3:40:28] When is it going to be time for

[3:40:28] us to just say ok enough is

[3:40:29] enough this dual good study

[3:40:30] and figured out where we're

[3:40:30] going to find more of these.

[3:40:39] That's what I'm going to ask.

[3:40:43] A tentative different

[3:40:44] ways there jumping from 1 one

[3:40:45] attempt to 10 to 1010 stories

[3:40:49] just not going make it there.

[3:40:49] It threw the chair mayor.

[3:40:55] Okay so so.

[3:40:55] We don't have as series.

[3:40:58] We missed us opportunities.

[3:41:01] With many other thing

[3:41:01] to wear expert could see well

[3:41:02] let's look at the step into

[3:41:07] that with this tap into that

[3:41:07] one yet to come. The commission

[3:41:08] is waiting been waiting for a

[3:41:11] long time to find options to

[3:41:12] where you can which many great

[3:41:12] taking. Now what we're doing

[3:41:17] here. It's not what's going to

[3:41:18] cut that cut it all. So at this

[3:41:18] point the motion is to either

[3:41:23] we're going to set that we're

[3:41:24] not going to separate separate

[3:41:24] that threw the chair. A 43 you

[3:41:29] have the floor.

[3:41:30] >> Is there I know we're not

[3:41:31] entitled city but is there any

[3:41:35] way that we can meet badly

[3:41:36] midway because I know what

[3:41:36] what's being proposed to 9.

[3:41:39] We're late.

[3:41:40] The recommendation is tonight

[3:41:41] but is there any way that week

[3:41:43] the midway police.

[3:41:44] Or maybe we can come up with a

[3:41:44] figure maybe we can get from

[3:41:53] the residents.

[3:41:59] I mean. We.

[3:42:00] >> If the commission wants to

[3:42:00] come up with an alternative

[3:42:03] number. They

[3:42:03] certainly can right I mean

[3:42:08] every every dollar I

[3:42:08] did too. The for 99 is lesson

[3:42:09] reserves that we're going to

[3:42:11] have to commit to this.

[3:42:11] But again it's it's the design

[3:42:12] it's the will of the

[3:42:18] commission. If the commission

[3:42:19] wants us to you know commit

[3:42:19] additional reserves to this

[3:42:27] that we will we will figure out

[3:42:27] how to do that and will commit

[3:42:28] those reserves. I can tell you

[3:42:36] all right and this is no secret

[3:42:37] right in our budget plan right

[3:42:38] to to balance the budget at 7.4

[3:42:40] we've talked about this

[3:42:41] internally before right it will

[3:42:41] affect the employees

[3:42:42] aren't simple.

[3:42:43] >> Right and I'm not saying it

[3:42:44] will affect will affect

[3:42:44] employees every one of the

[3:42:45] employees and I'm not saying

[3:42:52] that is a threat.

[3:42:52] >> I'm I'm just saying that

[3:42:53] we're trying right there is an

[3:42:55] increase in services right.

[3:42:59] Diesel fuel is almost $7

[3:43:00] a gallon. Right when this

[3:43:01] contract last year diesel fuel

[3:43:05] was $2 a gallon. And so every

[3:43:06] garbage truck right runs on

[3:43:06] diesel fuel. Salaries have gone

[3:43:10] up insurance has gone up and

[3:43:11] so everything is going up every

[3:43:11] year. And so all we're trying

[3:43:17] to do is those expenses that

[3:43:18] are passed on to us, we're just

[3:43:19] passing them along if you look

[3:43:22] at this budget right you'll

[3:43:23] see we're not adding anything

[3:43:23] to reserves to the solid waste

[3:43:26] reserves. It's not like that if

[3:43:27] we go to 5.30 right we're going

[3:43:32] to

[3:43:33] be putting $45 from every

[3:43:33] resident into reserves, so

[3:43:38] we've got a reserve.

[3:43:38] This is the 5.75 doesn't need

[3:43:39] to build a reserve and so if

[3:43:42] the commission wants to

[3:43:43] consider. Midway fee

[3:43:44] that's fine. Like I said we

[3:43:45] will reach out to waste

[3:43:50] Management tomorrow and the

[3:43:51] next day. And we were asked to

[3:43:52] sit down with them and have a

[3:43:57] conversation with them to say

[3:43:58] you know we need to hold our.

[3:43:58] We're holding ourselves from

[3:44:02] flock. What can we do with them

[3:44:03] that will help our assessment

[3:44:04] what our cross lot and the

[3:44:06] whole report back to you with

[3:44:12] the options that they give us.

[3:44:12] >> So at this point I make a

[3:44:13] motion that maintain the

[3:44:18] existing great.

[3:44:19] As you mentioned city manager

[3:44:19] at least continue the fight

[3:44:24] with the waste too.

[3:44:25] Find other options said, yes,

[3:44:31] Sir chair and we have

[3:44:31] to move. I like that you would

[3:44:32] like to speak many times

[3:44:34] because we make a good good go

[3:44:35] at it again to the resident had

[3:44:39] greater recognition for a.

[3:44:39] >> City manager our staff here

[3:44:40] you guys work extremely hard

[3:44:42] trying to find ways.

[3:44:45] >> 2.

[3:44:45] Supplement ok so I need you

[3:44:46] guys to understand that we

[3:44:52] think I mean they're they're

[3:44:52] hard workers. Ok so we're on

[3:44:53] the days when we say we need to

[3:44:56] find other ways, Nick cetera.

[3:45:01] We are a non title. So.

[3:45:01] We're not privy to certain

[3:45:02] things and so we're really

[3:45:04] putting ourselves in a

[3:45:08] situation

[3:45:09] a night and unfortunately what

[3:45:09] you guys are not going to

[3:45:12] really see this effect until

[3:45:13] maybe about a couple of months

[3:45:13] from today a year from today

[3:45:17] and then that were forced to

[3:45:18] make certain changes police can

[3:45:20] start thank MADAM Commissioner.

[3:45:24] >> He says it is

[3:45:25] 5 votes. The item is we're

[3:45:25] going to move with it or not

[3:45:28] move forward when it comes to

[3:45:29] everybody to conflict Constance

[3:45:29] do I feel you want to increase

[3:45:32] in our resident or dog us

[3:45:36] imports that come

[3:45:37] down to evraz have the votes to

[3:45:37] move it is being moved and

[3:45:40] seconded correct.

[3:45:40] How to make the most time in

[3:45:41] motion already made a motion.

[3:45:48] I did not hear a second is

[3:45:49] there a second. Okay it's been

[3:45:49] seconded by vice mayor, the

[3:45:55] motion is to maintain it or

[3:45:56] maintain that the system the

[3:45:56] way it is or accept it Somerset

[3:45:59] he's.

[3:46:00] >> Yet the mission has to be a

[3:46:03] motion to approve this one.

[3:46:04] Yes to maintain to make an

[3:46:08] assessment.

[3:46:08] Keep it the way it is doing so

[3:46:12] which which the motion to

[3:46:13] you making so they get which

[3:46:13] motion to to make to keep the

[3:46:18] system the way it is ok.

[3:46:19] Motion to amend to to show

[3:46:19] manatee assessment as it was in

[3:46:20] the

[3:46:22] past year.

[3:46:22] >> Commissioner Martin I'm the

[3:46:26] chair.

[3:46:27] Where do we stand if we decide

[3:46:31] to go 50%.

[3:46:32] >> If you amendment you go for

[3:46:32] it because it's 2 on 2

[3:46:35] different amendments, right you

[3:46:36] 2 different we've got to go

[3:46:38] with the first one 1st.

[3:46:40] Motion to amend I mean what

[3:46:45] an incorrect.

[3:46:45] >> I would go with the an

[3:46:46] amended amendment or do we go

[3:46:48] with the

[3:46:49] First Amendment should be the

[3:46:50] First Amendment to be the push

[3:46:51] to pass in

[3:46:52] the fight because the first one

[3:46:52] is to know the first one is to

[3:46:55] go ahead.

[3:47:02] >> You know the what we had

[3:47:03] this particular resolution was

[3:47:04] to set its I 75 right. You're

[3:47:06] making a motion to to keep it

[3:47:10] the same racing. Yes.

[3:47:11] Now there is and what she'd

[3:47:12] like to make a motion to to

[3:47:15] make to make the increase

[3:47:21] basically. 50%

[3:47:22] of this $76 that's been put out

[3:47:23] there which is $30 more than

[3:47:28] the 4.99.

[3:47:28] What it 9 plus 38 is what she'd

[3:47:29] like to make is a motion.

[3:47:33] So.

[3:47:34] We which motion prevails that's

[3:47:35] a question I believe that you

[3:47:40] have to

[3:47:40] go first by the second thing

[3:47:41] which is actually a mandate to

[3:47:43] keep the rate

[3:47:44] for us. You know the second

[3:47:45] Amendment ok this second

[3:47:47] amended amendment, yeah.

[3:47:52] So the second time.

[3:47:54] >> have made by I hear a

[3:47:55] second on commissioner those

[3:47:55] crickets motion is there a

[3:47:58] second on that second on that

[3:48:07] please.

[3:48:08] >> Okay then you go with that's

[3:48:08] local that's I 37. Call the

[3:48:15] roll. Call the roll please.

[3:48:16] >> Commissioner Martin I'm

[3:48:17] sorry the first role before the

[3:48:27] for the

[3:48:28] 5.37. That's 500 Cuts. Remember

[3:48:28] there's no regrets. Yes.

[3:48:31] Vice mayor Bustamante.

[3:48:32] >> Is yes but I can I ask a

[3:48:41] good question.

[3:48:42] I want to MISS A I have a would

[3:48:46] happen

[3:48:52] take it the blue can.

[3:48:52] >> The But you're not in a

[3:48:53] position to do that because

[3:48:57] that's in and that's an

[3:48:57] agreement between the and

[3:49:03] believes company. So.

[3:49:04] You can do that the city

[3:49:04] manager to look into that, but

[3:49:07] it's not really changing

[3:49:08] anything because the changes to

[3:49:08] be the agreement between the 2.

[3:49:14] The city and the management

[3:49:15] company in that. You got to see

[3:49:16] what I'm saying is that up to

[3:49:18] the city Commission to change

[3:49:19] the terms of an agreement that

[3:49:22] already executed.

[3:49:22] So you could suggest that they

[3:49:23] can work on that, but you can

[3:49:26] do you can't vote to change

[3:49:31] that right now.

[3:49:31] >> We can probably save some

[3:49:32] money and that you know, yeah

[3:49:34] but I'm saying that you can

[3:49:35] direct the city manager to look

[3:49:39] into that okay but

[3:49:39] it's what it's not a one-sided

[3:49:40] thing it's an agreement with

[3:49:40] between

[3:49:41] 2 parties. So if you already

[3:49:42] have an agreement with with the

[3:49:47] the waste Management company.

[3:49:51] To do the blue can

[3:49:52] do whatever. It's the it's the

[3:49:53] now you can't change it just by

[3:49:58] making a decision and the days.

[3:49:58] You can look into that. But

[3:49:59] it's on video so you can modify

[3:50:06] yourself right now the the the.

[3:50:07] There was an amendment that was

[3:50:09] proposed and then a

[3:50:09] second amendment that was

[3:50:10] befalls so we took the if they

[3:50:15] take the second one that they

[3:50:16] want to the first one. It said

[3:50:16] it was so right now the

[3:50:19] amendment that people are

[3:50:27] voting on was the fight 37.

[3:50:28] That it would be us the there

[3:50:29] would be an increase of 30.

[3:50:31] A top $8.

[3:50:32] 38 dollars I did not have any

[3:50:34] single

[3:50:40] >> we can say those the U.S..

[3:50:41] >> He said yes and so you are

[3:50:49] yes, yes to port.

[3:50:49] Yeah, I say yes but I mean I'm

[3:50:50] going to be looking for that

[3:50:56] the taking of a yeah okay.

[3:50:56] >> Commissioner Louis yes, and

[3:50:57] they are going to know. Thank

[3:51:00] you.

[3:51:01] >> All right check just one

[3:51:02] quick question. Well if it's on

[3:51:04] us items over the island just

[3:51:09] want to support it. Yes.

[3:51:10] We do need to talk always

[3:51:10] management because after

[3:51:12] meeting with

[3:51:13] them personally she told me we

[3:51:13] don't recycle so we are getting

[3:51:16] charged for what we do need to

[3:51:17] talk with them on the front of

[3:51:20] the

[3:51:23] service provider was it just

[3:51:23] wasn't the exact point we made

[3:51:26] why we increase and a resident.

[3:51:27] >> When they have a point there

[3:51:27] to pay for something that they

[3:51:31] don't and that's what I'm

[3:51:31] seeing some point that was

[3:51:32] increase even one penny on the

[3:51:37] East is the city got me

[3:51:37] Brooklyn that one are we is

[3:51:38] there any way can we find is is

[3:51:40] it what illegal wood with that

[3:51:40] with that request to keep it

[3:51:41] there and just put in the work

[3:51:44] something that's what it is

[3:51:45] when so if this is already more

[3:51:46] in the final we just for the

[3:51:48] record is just for the record

[3:51:49] we pay by that time of year

[3:51:49] that they

[3:51:51] pick up.

[3:51:52] >> Whether it's in the Blue can

[3:51:53] or the ground can and we pay by

[3:51:55] the time age and for the

[3:51:56] garbage that's

[3:51:59] picked off.

[3:52:00] >> As well as the ball so I

[3:52:00] want to but when I when I spoke

[3:52:07] with says it can really is just

[3:52:08] a black and truthfully exactly

[3:52:08] so just all right, that's a

[3:52:12] look into it.

[3:52:13] I but it turns so there's no

[3:52:13] other motions and that's what

[3:52:16] this is done. There's this one

[3:52:21] is to the k s good okay.

[3:52:22] You have the floor for you have

[3:52:22] the floor for an exciting for

[3:52:28] c.

[3:52:29] It's almost done been after

[3:52:30] this meeting that we have

[3:52:32] another meeting it is almost a

[3:52:33] good resolution at the City

[3:52:34] Commission at the city of North

[3:52:39] Lauderdale Florida.

[3:52:40] >> Relating to the provision of

[3:52:40] storm water management provided

[3:52:42] by the city's storm water

[3:52:43] management utility. In the city

[3:52:43] of North Lauderdale Florida

[3:52:49] approving the storm water

[3:52:49] management utility assistant

[3:52:50] Lee of $200 per the all year

[3:52:57] for the fiscal year. Beginning

[3:52:57] on OCTOBER one 2026. Imposing a

[3:52:58] stormwater management utility

[3:52:59] assessment against this as

[3:52:59] property located within the

[3:53:00] city of North Florida deal for

[3:53:04] the fiscal year beginning on

[3:53:05] OCTOBER one 2026, providing for

[3:53:06] severability providing for

[3:53:08] conflicts and providing an

[3:53:15] effective date.

[3:53:16] >> See measures go parish and

[3:53:16] MISTER Mayor our budget manager

[3:53:25] will present his shore.

[3:53:26] >> In regards to the storm

[3:53:32] fiscal year 2027

[3:53:33] Budget revenues. The budget

[3:53:33] itself is calm it's a

[3:53:38] 15 million for 15 700. And how

[3:53:43] basically budget and

[3:53:43] balance that West through

[3:53:48] propose assessment of

[3:53:49] 200 for the single family and a

[3:53:50] 100 fold them multifamily which

[3:53:59] would have generated 3 a little

[3:54:00] over 3 million dollars. Grants

[3:54:00] and other revenues that we

[3:54:01] expect to collect would be

[3:54:04] 11 million 3.48.

[3:54:05] >> And then this fun does

[3:54:08] almost a million dollars in

[3:54:08] funds balance. So that would

[3:54:09] offset the gap so that's how

[3:54:10] that this fund was budgeted to

[3:54:13] that 15.

[3:54:19] >> Million for

[3:54:20] 15 700. Now its really drive

[3:54:24] that is that we're looking

[3:54:25] to come to fun of the

[3:54:25] silverlake strain and

[3:54:32] improvement. Which is up for

[3:54:32] 5.9 million dollar project and

[3:54:33] also the tablets center

[3:54:36] pavement and drainage so those

[3:54:37] are the 2 major projects that

[3:54:38] fund that fund that strive and

[3:54:40] that that we're looking to fun

[3:54:46] for

[3:54:47] and that's what's driving the

[3:54:48] budget of that 15 million

[3:54:50] dollars. A little over. And

[3:54:54] that completes that.

[3:54:54] >> Okay this item is open to

[3:55:06] the public for any comments.

[3:55:07] I get good evening again.

[3:55:11] Mayor commissioners.

[3:55:11] In this our search for the

[3:55:12] record set to name my name is

[3:55:15] Linda, Ashby I'm a resident of

[3:55:19] North Lauderdale.

[3:55:20] The proposed water control

[3:55:20] district not at full assessment

[3:55:21] is what we're discussing in my

[3:55:22] particular situation, my annual

[3:55:25] assessed.

[3:55:26] >> It's a storm water

[3:55:29] assessment.

[3:55:39] Storm water assessment.

[3:55:39] The increase is from 95 to

[3:55:46] $200.

[3:55:47] That's the water control

[3:56:04] district.

[3:56:05] >> Sure you know the time for

[3:56:06] someone else at this later on

[3:56:10] you can come back.

[3:56:10] If you search and yes, okay,

[3:56:11] you could you let someone else

[3:56:19] come back, yes.

[3:56:20] >> Okay the last year, so I'm

[3:56:20] just wondering we got 5.9

[3:56:22] million for several lakes

[3:56:23] training to isn't several lakes

[3:56:23] a H.O.A. And isn't that they're

[3:56:28] or is this. So unlike our Canal

[3:56:28] program were. They can drain

[3:56:29] out because there's. Everything

[3:56:33] they do has nowhere to go so

[3:56:34] far. You guys asked about that

[3:56:38] we know.

[3:56:39] Should the city be paying for

[3:56:39] that or is that something that

[3:56:40] we keep a close eye on the

[3:56:41] question ok we'll have city

[3:56:41] manager and so that made it on

[3:56:43] to thank you.

[3:56:49] >> Next person please.

[3:56:50] Your recent give can you bring

[3:56:58] back the threat of a slight.

[3:56:59] >> Yes so what does that shot

[3:57:00] full

[3:57:01] commercial properties. 212

[3:57:02] single-family on that form with

[3:57:04] the family what about

[3:57:09] commercial properties.

[3:57:13] My my special assessment on the

[3:57:14] specific one. No plot of the

[3:57:15] storm with that assessment went

[3:57:20] up from

[3:57:20] 15 not from 6500 total of

[3:57:24] $9400. 50% increase $3,000.

[3:57:25] And I'm still getting gay

[3:57:29] flooded when it rains heavily.

[3:57:30] >> is the administration of the

[3:57:31] vote to provide an answer for

[3:57:38] both questioner. MISTER Mayor

[3:57:39] we can silver Lake village is

[3:57:44] I'm not in a Chile Association,

[3:57:44] it is the streets between 76th

[3:57:45] Avenue and 80th Avenue. The

[3:57:48] country 10 court off of

[3:57:49] Kimberly Boulevard so it is

[3:57:50] just regular city streets.

[3:57:53] And

[3:57:54] there is a small portion has

[3:57:54] drainage the rest is not have

[3:57:59] drainage and so this project

[3:58:00] would come in all new drainage

[3:58:01] n and then obviously the roads

[3:58:09] will be repaved and there be

[3:58:09] some medians putin as well and

[3:58:10] some landscaping as for the

[3:58:14] cost for.

[3:58:15] Commercial we have to look at

[3:58:16] that his square footage and we

[3:58:23] could get back in touch with

[3:58:24] him and let him know you know

[3:58:25] what the cost is per unit per

[3:58:30] square foot 4. For for

[3:58:31] commercial. And then as for the

[3:58:32] drainage remember storm water

[3:58:34] is where the city piping is

[3:58:35] and so in a parking lot that's

[3:58:36] private property. And so the

[3:58:40] parking lot would need to be

[3:58:41] able to drain out to our system

[3:58:45] and then once it gets to

[3:58:46] our system. The eventual goal

[3:58:47] the pump station will get rid

[3:58:49] of that water quicker so we

[3:58:50] can looking and we'll get back

[3:58:57] to him on the exact costs.

[3:58:58] I believe that cover your will

[3:58:58] surface or consent. I it go

[3:59:05] ahead real quick, yes.

[3:59:06] >> And they often on a couple

[3:59:06] of them one time those would

[3:59:09] become permanent.

[3:59:10] You know what you're talking

[3:59:11] here about doing this specific

[3:59:18] will on those lakes. Okay

[3:59:18] Wilson, the former new another

[3:59:19] Lake or people like the one I'm

[3:59:20] seeing the non dot com. Many

[3:59:20] would it would be Americana

[3:59:21] next you're going to see a

[3:59:23] decrease. It's been on full

[3:59:25] of them. Well forget

[3:59:29] about it.

[3:59:29] >> MISTER Mayor if I could yes

[3:59:30] you MAY Storm water solid waste

[3:59:36] and water control district are

[3:59:37] every year assessments. Fires

[3:59:38] been the only thing that

[3:59:42] historically has gone for a

[3:59:42] period of time for 5 years that

[3:59:43] study that's done incorporates

[3:59:46] all of the fire costs for 5

[3:59:47] years. So these are each year.

[3:59:47] The this is based on what the

[3:59:51] budget is with the capital

[3:59:53] projects are. So I

[3:59:54] can't guarantee next year there

[3:59:55] will be a reduction there maybe

[3:59:58] reduction there MAY be the

[3:59:58] same. Maybe a little bit more.

[4:00:02] So.

[4:00:03] But it's it's it by year and by

[4:00:09] budget item.

[4:00:10] Does that make sense thank you.

[4:00:19] Yes, you're recognized.

[4:00:19] >> My name is Linda, Ashby I'm

[4:00:20] a resident of North This is for

[4:00:22] the storm

[4:00:23] water assessment again I would

[4:00:29] like to oppose

[4:00:30] proposition because for me

[4:00:30] that's an increase of 43% in a

[4:00:36] single year from 36 to 36

[4:00:37] that's a $36 increase. Although

[4:00:38] 36 MAY sound insignificant to

[4:00:43] some in the city.

[4:00:43] It does not stand alone as a

[4:00:44] resident and summer tennis Lee

[4:00:48] facing increases and the other

[4:00:49] areas like fire rescue water

[4:00:51] control and of course we've now

[4:00:52] renegotiate those when combined

[4:00:52] these charges create a

[4:00:55] substantial final 5 financial

[4:00:59] burden on on my part.

[4:01:00] I recognize that North

[4:01:01] Lauderdale must maintain its

[4:01:05] drainage systems and added and

[4:01:06] address flooding. I I live here

[4:01:06] and I understand the importance

[4:01:08] of it effective.

[4:01:09] Storm waters. Management

[4:01:09] however, residents deserve

[4:01:13] could documentation showing

[4:01:18] exactly why 43% increase

[4:01:19] is necessary which specific

[4:01:19] projects it will fund how the

[4:01:23] amount was calculated what

[4:01:24] spending reductions or

[4:01:24] alternative funding sources,

[4:01:27] we're considered again. I state

[4:01:28] as a senior citizen living here

[4:01:29] on a fixed income. I can't I

[4:01:35] cannot increase my income by

[4:01:36] 43% when Evers someone whatever

[4:01:42] one of my

[4:01:43] expenses rises Imus pretty

[4:01:43] prioritize reduce spending and

[4:01:47] phase and cost over time I

[4:01:48] really suggest that the city

[4:01:52] consider gradual increases

[4:01:53] and see funding of these

[4:01:59] specific non ad valorem issues.

[4:02:00] I emailed I just e-mailed you

[4:02:00] regarding a possible solution I

[4:02:04] understand that you have stated

[4:02:05] that you're very concerned

[4:02:06] about all the issues and you

[4:02:08] want to educate us and you do

[4:02:09] believe that these increases

[4:02:15] are necessary.

[4:02:15] However as a senior citizen MAY

[4:02:16] I propose and I've I've sent

[4:02:21] you the email to at consider

[4:02:22] a gradual increase so that

[4:02:23] we're not so significantly

[4:02:26] burdened by the cost for me

[4:02:27] this year, this burden is just

[4:02:28] overwhelming it's actually an

[4:02:30] entire month of my income so I

[4:02:33] will have

[4:02:34] to live. 12 months on 11 months

[4:02:35] of income or go get a job which

[4:02:37] I'm looking for looking for

[4:02:41] somebody.

[4:02:41] With experience. Thank you,

[4:02:50] thank you.

[4:02:51] >> Okay any further questions

[4:02:51] public have been an okay Kent

[4:02:55] yes.

[4:02:56] Guys this is the last time I'm

[4:02:56] coming to the podium today,

[4:03:00] okay.

[4:03:01] When we bite when we buy

[4:03:01] investment properties on it

[4:03:06] when we did what every investor

[4:03:07] when they look at investment

[4:03:08] property to an unknown that

[4:03:10] insult Florida you can

[4:03:11] calculate you real estate taxes

[4:03:11] has about 2%. If you buy a

[4:03:14] property for any and all of you

[4:03:18] know in

[4:03:19] your head. My real estate taxes

[4:03:20] are going to be more list when

[4:03:22] it could that Smollett tomorrow

[4:03:23] from can be 25 can be 19 that's

[4:03:30] about.

[4:03:30] When I woke up my ducks belief

[4:03:31] the if this little bit to get

[4:03:32] approved. We have about

[4:03:32] 3% and that probably won't be

[4:03:33] the highest tax bracket that

[4:03:40] I've seen in South Florida.

[4:03:41] So bear that in mind I know

[4:03:42] that the commission is the and

[4:03:44] mounting mentioned, hey we need

[4:03:48] money to

[4:03:48] support it. We think I'm going

[4:03:49] to come from one place it could

[4:03:49] still come from

[4:03:50] another broken. Both of them

[4:03:51] just ended up with a different

[4:03:57] cities are able to operate on

[4:03:58] a budget. I the real estate

[4:03:59] realistic bucks side of the

[4:04:02] budget about

[4:04:03] 2%. 2.2 1.9 that's about where

[4:04:07] we tease and that's.

[4:04:08] I and and I don't want to win

[4:04:09] when I'm sitting here and I

[4:04:12] know I'm about 3% something

[4:04:12] doesn't add up something

[4:04:17] doesn't

[4:04:17] add up. Now that 2% is up 2%

[4:04:18] from current market rate and

[4:04:22] current market rates of been

[4:04:23] going up dramatically in the

[4:04:25] last few years.

[4:04:26] So its its Levis thing the same

[4:04:27] at home to the cd you're

[4:04:31] getting 2% every year from an

[4:04:31] increased amount again on

[4:04:32] booking show normal Homestead

[4:04:35] properties. The top of the

[4:04:40] funnel. Thank you.

[4:04:41] >> back to take public comments

[4:04:47] is close.

[4:04:48] Because now he's back to the

[4:05:01] commission for discussion.

[4:05:02] It's been a discussion well I

[4:05:02] mean it with now I see the

[4:05:08] cities.

[4:05:09] Significant trainees. Issue

[4:05:09] that we have. And that storm

[4:05:15] water. Infra section moves.

[4:05:26] Those needs are real.

[4:05:26] But nevertheless at this time.

[4:05:27] And again under the current

[4:05:31] circumstances.

[4:05:31] We heard the resident, many of

[4:05:35] them talk about the same thing.

[4:05:40] Again out like to see the city.

[4:05:44] Continue to

[4:05:50] infrastructure funding.

[4:05:51] Pursue grants if I can can say

[4:05:54] that.

[4:05:55] Other spots of the funding

[4:06:00] sources.

[4:06:00] I have to take into

[4:06:01] consideration, what the

[4:06:04] residents are asking for at

[4:06:04] this point at this point in

[4:06:08] time.

[4:06:09] Didn't we have another option I

[4:06:09] didn't have any option right

[4:06:15] there except 2. Approve it.

[4:06:16] I'm not prepared to support an

[4:06:21] increase in this assessment.

[4:06:22] Support please yeah support

[4:06:23] maintain distance, it is just

[4:06:29] under 8. Well the city continue

[4:06:30] to. Find grants. Or any other

[4:06:33] source that. So.

[4:06:34] I just made that motion there

[4:06:37] and a mandate.

[4:06:46] To keep the route same has.

[4:06:46] Do I have a second victim.

[4:06:53] His second car to the chair.

[4:06:53] >> In regards to the We

[4:06:54] actually have 11.3 million

[4:07:00] dollars

[4:07:01] in grants. That we're budgeting

[4:07:02] for 2027 in this fund ok well I

[4:07:04] understand, but is this is not

[4:07:05] my eyes to mask I Dana finding

[4:07:09] saying many other sources.

[4:07:09] >> That many of the South

[4:07:10] because all I'm going to make

[4:07:16] it make it clear.

[4:07:16] If I have come in as a

[4:07:17] Commission if I have to accept

[4:07:20] everything that's presented to

[4:07:21] me then there's no need for it

[4:07:21] for us to present to make to

[4:07:24] vote.

[4:07:25] If I'm told I have we have to

[4:07:26] accept state accept everything

[4:07:31] we can at it that's what we

[4:07:31] have and give it to vote.

[4:07:32] I mean the motion myself based

[4:07:38] on what I hear I've been

[4:07:39] hearing over not just in this

[4:07:40] role. All across the sea.

[4:07:43] Resident. This that this timing

[4:07:43] there so back to back to 2

[4:07:46] draw. Drawing board.

[4:07:47] To figure out other ways to

[4:07:50] fund revenues for the

[4:07:51] city too I cannot charge just

[4:07:54] myself, I'm just one bowl.

[4:07:55] I would not be was tonight if I

[4:07:55] increase in a generation

[4:08:00] confirming tonight. So he's

[4:08:01] 5 votes. He's been where it's

[4:08:05] been more than second it.

[4:08:08] >> Mayor yes

[4:08:09] and I asked consecutive place

[4:08:09] and so I said that you did the

[4:08:13] that was by vice mayor kriseman

[4:08:14] has been more than second and

[4:08:15] that's ok thank you through the

[4:08:17] chair mayor well.

[4:08:18] How we're going to go with this

[4:08:23] again we made a motion already.

[4:08:24] I guess if there's any question

[4:08:25] nobody answered the question

[4:08:28] now we move on to the motion is

[4:08:29] been more than seconded yes.

[4:08:31] Yes, and to say that.

[4:08:36] >> When there's a motion.

[4:08:37] Even if it doesn't it doesn't

[4:08:38] say motion for discussion in

[4:08:38] just

[4:08:39] a motion. You don't need to

[4:08:39] spend some MAY find this

[4:08:46] question when you see motion

[4:08:47] to local. Motion. Whatever

[4:08:47] motion it is you get a second.

[4:08:52] He has an opportunity for

[4:08:52] discussion. Right after that.

[4:08:58] And you get the opportunity to.

[4:08:59] Anyone who wants to speak that

[4:09:00] put motion second discussion

[4:09:03] then vote.

[4:09:04] >> Thank you what it was it was

[4:09:05] more to a cool thing to prove

[4:09:07] right.

[4:09:07] >> Even if you move to approve

[4:09:08] whatever you call it if you

[4:09:13] call it motion for this

[4:09:13] question motion simply motion

[4:09:14] once you make a motion and you

[4:09:19] get a second. Yes, the gap

[4:09:20] between the vote. And the

[4:09:20] witches there's a gap for

[4:09:26] discussion purposes. That you

[4:09:28] get them. And opportunity to

[4:09:28] discuss it. No matter what you

[4:09:32] call it. Once a motion is made.

[4:09:33] And you have a second. There's

[4:09:33] a gap for discussion, then you

[4:09:36] vote.

[4:09:36] >> I what I where I'm going to

[4:09:37] disagree with you I'm not

[4:09:40] saying

[4:09:40] I mean nobody usually we will

[4:09:41] move want to move to approve

[4:09:45] it.

[4:09:45] We have the second it it would

[4:09:46] go to the roll call right

[4:09:46] that's

[4:09:49] because usually.

[4:09:50] >> You do sometimes I've notice

[4:09:53] you do it here it's not

[4:09:54] necessary. But you do a motion

[4:09:55] to discuss and you get a second

[4:09:58] then you have a discussion.

[4:09:59] Then you move to approve, did

[4:10:02] you get a second that he

[4:10:02] does vote. But since you didn't

[4:10:03] have a discussion to you you

[4:10:08] just had a motion. And a second

[4:10:09] there's a there is an

[4:10:10] opportunity to discuss before

[4:10:14] you vote okay in that case, I'm

[4:10:15] going to ask you if you could

[4:10:16] standardize it for us yet we

[4:10:19] have it because otherwise it is

[4:10:20] just you know is is that it is

[4:10:20] about its goals once there's a

[4:10:21] motion in emotion. Whatever you

[4:10:22] wanna call it a motion to

[4:10:23] approve a motion to discuss

[4:10:25] motion.

[4:10:27] >> What does a motion. There's

[4:10:28] a second. There's an

[4:10:28] opportunity right after that

[4:10:33] with this question. So if you

[4:10:34] don't have any motions that

[4:10:35] discussion you just have a

[4:10:35] regular motion to approve.

[4:10:36] You don't even have to do that

[4:10:37] discussion what he does on

[4:10:41] making a motion to pull you get

[4:10:42] a second. And you have an

[4:10:42] opportunity for discussion

[4:10:46] before the vote. Okay so I

[4:10:47] asked her to be clear that's

[4:10:47] fine yeah, you know what that

[4:10:48] means after

[4:10:53] that after.

[4:10:53] >> Even though we made a motion

[4:10:54] to approve it yes will be

[4:10:58] seconded yes and then because

[4:10:58] you know the motion to don't

[4:10:59] need anymore. Ok motion you

[4:11:00] just have a discussion to join

[4:11:01] the discussion that doesn't

[4:11:02] change anything meaning in your

[4:11:02] motion is still in the floor

[4:11:05] the second is still

[4:11:07] >> after

[4:11:08] the discussion. Then you take a

[4:11:09] vocal guess that's the point

[4:11:13] and probably know ocean is

[4:11:15] okay. Through the

[4:11:16] >> Yes, that is a part of

[4:11:16] Robert rules that's what we

[4:11:21] actually learned think current

[4:11:22] me to that I just want if you

[4:11:27] can for

[4:11:28] us please. He said that those

[4:11:29] 3,011.11 million could we have

[4:11:33] to match.

[4:11:38] >> So okay

[4:11:39] to chair the grants and other

[4:11:39] revenues is 11.3 grant there's

[4:11:43] grants and other revenues

[4:11:48] that's 11.3 and we do have

[4:11:49] to match. Funds that were were

[4:11:50] get in in regards to that so

[4:11:54] the

[4:11:55] 5.9 and the 4 million dollars

[4:11:55] for this time was sent to those

[4:12:02] are to be matched.

[4:12:03] >> So when I really want you to

[4:12:04] say that again we had 11.3 in

[4:12:07] grants. And we must match.

[4:12:07] All right. And so if we choose

[4:12:08] got to do we lose that

[4:12:09] 11.3.

[4:12:10] >> We were all saying that

[4:12:10] Sarah leaders that they would

[4:12:17] have to figure out how we will

[4:12:18] match it. So if this fund

[4:12:18] cannot support that we'll have

[4:12:21] to rely on

[4:12:21] other sources. So are

[4:12:22] identified other revenue

[4:12:25] sources to be

[4:12:26] able to a match that so we

[4:12:26] don't lose it, but it is a

[4:12:32] requirement.

[4:12:33] So in other words these

[4:12:36] projects will be funded.

[4:12:37] If we don't identify additional

[4:12:37] funding sources now right

[4:12:43] because right now on the table

[4:12:44] we have 11 million dollar fine.

[4:12:54] It is yes we can.

[4:12:56] Commission just to add that up

[4:12:56] to the total cost of the

[4:12:57] project is that 15 plus Mary,

[4:12:58] so if we don't match it or

[4:13:01] approve it.

[4:13:05] >> The project is short

[4:13:06] funded so we have how much

[4:13:06] would be short funded by the

[4:13:10] additional

[4:13:11] for Marion. That's that we need

[4:13:12] in matching funds so right now.

[4:13:14] That's when she too. You know

[4:13:19] explained we had it grants.

[4:13:24] The revenue that tolls

[4:13:24] 11 plus million. The total cost

[4:13:28] of the project is 15 to press

[4:13:29] Mary so there's a short fall

[4:13:29] that the assessment was

[4:13:34] supported the additional funds

[4:13:35] that I need it to complete the

[4:13:38] project. So if we

[4:13:39] vote no. We will leave its

[4:13:39] grants. Yes, they can get up to

[4:13:42] half of the amount that you've

[4:13:46] expanded.

[4:13:46] Thank you let me ask the

[4:13:51] question there.

[4:13:52] >> If we're going there we can

[4:13:53] go straight to that question

[4:13:55] there. 7 lakes

[4:13:56] drainage improvement as well as

[4:13:57] time was centered paving and

[4:13:59] drainage improvement.

[4:14:00] Is that a new projects been

[4:14:04] there for years.

[4:14:04] When is it going to say is

[4:14:05] going to start this year.

[4:14:08] She approached the support if

[4:14:09] it's approved tonight. What is

[4:14:13] it going to start.

[4:14:13] But public works answer.

[4:14:16] Stir project.

[4:14:21] The next year.

[4:14:22] So take state for the record.

[4:14:22] New book courage on. It's a

[4:14:25] republic works utilities

[4:14:28] director.

[4:14:29] >> So the supermax drainage

[4:14:29] improvement that's a

[4:14:35] engineering right now and that

[4:14:36] should be going out middle of

[4:14:37] 2027. The Denver center is also

[4:14:40] and engineering design right

[4:14:41] now. That is expected to go out

[4:14:43] and act 20 some early 20.

[4:14:48] So.

[4:14:49] >> How does that can change the

[4:14:50] weather. We keep the rate

[4:14:52] assessment the same way.

[4:14:55] How he's going

[4:14:55] how does it impact it well as

[4:14:56] it was stated before these are

[4:14:57] great for the projects that

[4:15:02] require misinformed.

[4:15:03] >> So the much closer coming

[4:15:03] out of reserves. And we have to

[4:15:06] put that money back so that's

[4:15:13] why we're result for us.

[4:15:13] That's in your my concern is

[4:15:21] again.

[4:15:21] So finest wherever that

[4:15:22] department is to figure out

[4:15:25] other ways to find out. If we

[4:15:25] we for to keep it at the same

[4:15:30] that's on my my consent.

[4:15:31] And so we we are still actively

[4:15:32] looking for additional Grant

[4:15:36] funds so we have spoken with

[4:15:37] quite a few people in. Focused

[4:15:37] on release, but you know it's

[4:15:46] going to take time. Okay so

[4:15:46] that I I and join you at this

[4:15:47] point it means we have not

[4:15:49] exist is everything so far we

[4:15:50] have not correct some of that

[4:15:50] note we all came so I could

[4:15:53] staff recently participated in

[4:15:59] a call with time.

[4:16:00] >> Department of emergency

[4:16:00] management fema and the federal

[4:16:06] site they have how money

[4:16:06] available for resiliency

[4:16:07] projects and so we're looking

[4:16:13] to see if this.

[4:16:14] If the temperature Boulevard

[4:16:14] project would qualify as a

[4:16:17] resiliency project and if

[4:16:18] it does. We will apply for a

[4:16:18] grant for the other continued

[4:16:22] see part

[4:16:23] would be sometimes you can use

[4:16:24] federal money to match a state

[4:16:27] grant. But sometimes you can

[4:16:28] so that's something also that

[4:16:28] our Grant writer it will be

[4:16:29] looking into to make sure that

[4:16:30] we can apply for not so we can

[4:16:33] apply.

[4:16:34] >> ok so what's the total for

[4:16:37] total.

[4:16:38] For the project despite any

[4:16:39] both project there was a total.

[4:16:43] I mean it required because

[4:16:44] we're talking about for years

[4:16:49] and years. What is the total.

[4:16:49] Total for the tournament.

[4:16:54] What the commission.

[4:16:57] Commissioner that

[4:16:58] was a it was a 5.2 million

[4:16:58] dollar grant we have to match

[4:17:01] with 5.2. So that's 10.4

[4:17:07] million.

[4:17:08] So the lakes it's a 5.9 million

[4:17:09] we have to mess with the fight.

[4:17:13] So

[4:17:14] well for the with the grand

[4:17:17] jury.

[4:17:18] I became okay that mimic made

[4:17:19] myself clear to me myself

[4:17:25] clear. With the silver lakes

[4:17:26] drainage improvement and time

[4:17:26] was 100 paving and drink and

[4:17:29] put together. What is a total

[4:17:33] of expected for the

[4:17:34] whole project is it 20 Mannion

[4:17:35] is it 50 million is it what are

[4:17:36] we at

[4:17:37] this point. Okay so several

[4:17:37] days with a matching grant

[4:17:46] total looking at. You look at

[4:17:47] 11.8. 11.8. And the second one

[4:17:52] and second one. It's awesome.

[4:17:53] It's it's 5.2 of them are

[4:17:54] correctly to wait another 5.2

[4:17:58] this 10.4.

[4:17:59] To give you a total of what I'm

[4:17:59] not good at math over 20

[4:18:02] minutes, I'm sorry I just want

[4:18:10] to know.

[4:18:11] 1.2 3121 21. Okay, so by not by

[4:18:12] keeping assessment that weight

[4:18:14] is right not today.

[4:18:15] Highs going to hurt because you

[4:18:19] were not there this is it.

[4:18:20] 5.9 plus 4 point right now it

[4:18:23] does not give me 21.

[4:18:24] I'm not even close to 21 that

[4:18:25] means the project would not

[4:18:28] even start.

[4:18:29] The point I'm trying to make

[4:18:30] sure that if if we if we start

[4:18:34] in project tomorrow or next

[4:18:38] month or this year. Passing

[4:18:39] this assessment. They want from

[4:18:43] $90 to $200 for the resident.

[4:18:44] How is it going to be I want to

[4:18:44] see if the project to be done

[4:18:47] at this point it's not going to

[4:18:47] be done when is it going to

[4:18:50] start.

[4:18:51] See like and said this been

[4:18:52] been for over 4 years ever

[4:18:55] since it became a commissioner,

[4:19:00] 2016. So.

[4:19:00] Like I said right now

[4:19:01] temperature is an engineer if

[4:19:03] it does I

[4:19:04] think is right that's all I

[4:19:05] think we're paying 1,001.1

[4:19:07] million dollar right now for

[4:19:12] that is I'm okay with that.

[4:19:13] Yeah, but my questions so that

[4:19:13] I mean what goes to project

[4:19:16] what I I want to have a

[4:19:16] timeline when is it going to

[4:19:27] start this one.

[4:19:28] So consider so the projects

[4:19:28] already started doing the

[4:19:30] engineering construction That's

[4:19:35] what I'm looking for Sir.

[4:19:36] >> Consortia portion of several

[4:19:37] days is going to start early 20

[4:19:40] summit.

[4:19:41] Like we talked about What's all

[4:19:42] the engineering and purchase a

[4:19:47] gun. We'll get a start we've

[4:19:47] got to come back to the start.

[4:19:48] And construction are going to

[4:19:50] turn attention until.

[4:19:56] 20.

[4:19:57] >> I'm going to put in last way

[4:19:57] that's what that's what I can

[4:20:03] understand for now ok.

[4:20:04] Keeping the assessment the same

[4:20:04] as it is will it stop the

[4:20:10] project at all.

[4:20:10] >> We will have to move forward

[4:20:14] with projects or cause this is

[4:20:15] our arm. Yeah state grant fund

[4:20:16] Grant funds that we're using so

[4:20:20] okay student to replenish our

[4:20:21] schools are as good as that we

[4:20:21] have a project planned for me.

[4:20:24] For my residents, I'm

[4:20:24] looking at because we have a

[4:20:25] lot of assessment in this

[4:20:29] particular case also is

[4:20:29] doubling up with I didn't get

[4:20:30] we didn't get 3 options whether

[4:20:33] it's going

[4:20:34] to be $100 bucks go from 90 to

[4:20:41] 200.

[4:20:42] I just want to see I mean what

[4:20:43] board that's whatever what it

[4:20:43] does look forward to a 1, 1,

[4:20:44] 4 okay, so as we just heard the

[4:20:45] residents, many of the same

[4:20:47] thing. I'm looking that's what

[4:20:54] I'm looking for.

[4:20:58] Okay and then it

[4:20:59] well any more of the current

[4:21:00] current okay more of that in

[4:21:04] second it.

[4:21:05] I'm not sure to Jeff just just

[4:21:06] you're going to get to a middle

[4:21:08] ground, some can we not what

[4:21:16] are called for an amendment.

[4:21:24] 23.

[4:21:25] Iex can we get to a middle

[4:21:25] ground, but those those are

[4:21:28] need is a fine to send is

[4:21:29] require studies. We don't just

[4:21:30] I don't see with just one

[4:21:32] numbers at that got to have

[4:21:33] purpose what it is what the

[4:21:34] consequences are.

[4:21:34] Or highs going to benefit or

[4:21:35] not benefit the reason that's

[4:21:39] all I'm looking at is just

[4:21:43] right because the chair mayor.

[4:21:43] You're recognized. I would love

[4:21:46] to but what that meant.

[4:21:54] Please come and get.

[4:21:54] >> Has been a study done for

[4:21:55] the stormwater fees at that

[4:22:00] time the peace for implementing

[4:22:00] the study was completed and

[4:22:01] think it was for a 5 year term,

[4:22:04] we're your

[4:22:05] number 3 to that I hear my so

[4:22:08] so in order

[4:22:09] to maintain or receive the

[4:22:10] grants because this because I'm

[4:22:12] safe.

[4:22:13] We've been asking about grants

[4:22:19] finally.

[4:22:20] We're seen 11 million dollars

[4:22:21] right work of grants. And so

[4:22:23] based on your study because I'm

[4:22:23] not sure if the commission

[4:22:24] really understand so based on

[4:22:27] your state. We we really need.

[4:22:34] This assessment.

[4:22:35] Tonight or we lose 11 million

[4:22:35] dollars of grant money

[4:22:38] potentially cause I is a

[4:22:39] potentially or what we were

[4:22:39] pleased if you have to explain

[4:22:42] that to me

[4:22:43] is coping. Commission and we've

[4:22:43] well it's a project is not

[4:22:45] complete you can collect on

[4:22:46] the grand we're going to lose

[4:22:47] 11 million dollars with the

[4:22:52] grant and even talk about

[4:22:53] grants around all day. And we

[4:22:56] have great one that is on

[4:22:56] the tape. And if we don't if we

[4:22:57] can match it we're going to

[4:23:00] lose correct correct. Thank

[4:23:03] you. Thank you very much, ok.

[4:23:04] >> Base what would Rick but for

[4:23:05] the record we hear if the

[4:23:08] project is not complete.

[4:23:08] We're not even not completed

[4:23:09] yet we haven't started yet.

[4:23:14] All my.

[4:23:15] I give you my time or my my

[4:23:15] concern is. If we do not pass

[4:23:18] this.

[4:23:18] If we maintained as the same

[4:23:21] way.

[4:23:21] Now we're talking about if the

[4:23:22] person that company present

[4:23:25] even started yet is just you

[4:23:26] know that's all I'm looking

[4:23:26] for. So we have 5 votes here we

[4:23:29] have 5 votes have been moved to

[4:23:33] maintain it.

[4:23:33] Put that weight is so it's been

[4:23:34] more than second in my book the

[4:23:36] roll call please.

[4:23:41] >> Commissioner Martin.

[4:23:42] >> It was moved to maintain it

[4:23:48] to win

[4:23:49] it right to maintain it to keep

[4:23:49] this the way it is and seeds of

[4:23:50] find other ways to forget his

[4:23:51] sentiment is an amendment to

[4:23:51] meant to him and that the U.S.

[4:23:58] Is an amendment to existing

[4:23:59] rate, ok. Commissioner Martin

[4:24:00] now. Commissioner those

[4:24:09] records.

[4:24:10] >> Was saying that to the

[4:24:13] chair. You're a cut.

[4:24:17] >> If we see.

[4:24:23] Doing not increase that.

[4:24:24] >> I think for We do not if we

[4:24:28] do increase your.

[4:24:28] >> I accept this $60 whatever

[4:24:34] it is.

[4:24:34] And we are going to fall for a

[4:24:38] shot off being able to do this.

[4:24:39] And that and the bottom of the

[4:24:47] table is that we.

[4:24:48] Do not accept this increase.

[4:24:48] The point is to keep to keep

[4:24:49] the assessment the way

[4:24:51] it is.

[4:24:51] >> I mean the amendment to keep

[4:24:52] it the same with do not resent

[4:24:57] it. And and there's another

[4:24:58] amendment correct. No there's

[4:24:58] no other and now there's that

[4:25:00] was sent to us MISTER Mayor if

[4:25:03] I could so.

[4:25:04] >> Commissioner Miller circuits

[4:25:10] that.

[4:25:10] As as the public works director

[4:25:11] said we're looking to apply for

[4:25:17] other grants right we haven't

[4:25:18] gotten any grants yet but the

[4:25:18] federal Department of emergency

[4:25:26] management came out about 2

[4:25:26] weeks ago with a grant about a

[4:25:27] billion And half of it is for

[4:25:32] resiliency the other half of it

[4:25:33] is for evacuation routes.

[4:25:34] We have a gram writer that

[4:25:36] helped us write the grants that

[4:25:37] got this or like drainage

[4:25:38] improvement Grant and motion of

[4:25:42] that.

[4:25:43] They met with our federal

[4:25:48] lobbyist, so public

[4:25:49] works finance met with our

[4:25:50] federal lobbyists as well as as

[4:25:56] well as a grant writer. We

[4:25:56] asked us questions can we apply

[4:25:57] for one or both of those grants

[4:25:59] as

[4:25:59] additional funding to help

[4:26:00] offset these grants. We don't

[4:26:05] know the answer yet it's

[4:26:06] something that they're if we

[4:26:07] can and will apply for and then

[4:26:10] we'll hope that

[4:26:11] we get that Grant and then that

[4:26:12] grant money was offset what the

[4:26:15] at some about out of what the

[4:26:16] city MAY need to pack whether

[4:26:17] it's a 100% whether it's 50%.

[4:26:23] It all depends what we get from

[4:26:23] the federal government. Just

[4:26:29] for clarification.

[4:26:30] >> If we decide to leave that

[4:26:31] assessment as it previously was

[4:26:33] before this increase.

[4:26:34] We are still going to move

[4:26:37] ahead with.

[4:26:41] Simple expedient arak.

[4:26:42] >> The commission would have to

[4:26:43] give us direction not to.

[4:26:45] But Anderson reward. We will

[4:26:46] come back

[4:26:47] to you right if there are no

[4:26:47] other funding options available

[4:26:53] that will have to come back

[4:26:53] to you. We haven't gotten to

[4:26:57] that great yeah, okay so.

[4:26:58] Okay so that we can be because

[4:26:59] is for now

[4:27:04] for now.

[4:27:04] >> Okay just think Sir for the

[4:27:05] for the record because we got

[4:27:08] MISS Hardy the efforts that

[4:27:11] correct. We're

[4:27:11] just told based on the

[4:27:12] commission commissioner asking

[4:27:14] the question there. We're going

[4:27:19] to lose their grants.

[4:27:20] Okay and we're told potentially

[4:27:21] then Commission wanted to make

[4:27:22] sure it's separate issue.

[4:27:23] Yes, oh no. She said, yes we're

[4:27:24] going to lose it. We've got

[4:27:29] information from seeing the

[4:27:30] correct me if I'm wrong.

[4:27:31] Commissioner see it

[4:27:34] Measure say.

[4:27:35] >> We haven't got writing we

[4:27:35] haven't got any other great

[4:27:40] yet.

[4:27:41] So my question how can we do

[4:27:41] is. Something that we don't

[4:27:44] have yet.

[4:27:45] What I do not want to get

[4:27:45] everything is on the record.

[4:27:49] I make sure I'm clear. Because

[4:27:52] we get confusing

[4:27:52] information there. The question

[4:27:53] is raising assessment and a

[4:28:00] resident because of those 2.

[4:28:01] If the rent if if if we are

[4:28:01] still looking for other

[4:28:04] revenues the funding revenues

[4:28:08] there let's do that.

[4:28:09] Might the point it all comes

[4:28:10] around the we're going to

[4:28:12] increase the tax on them or

[4:28:13] keep it the same way that's the

[4:28:15] issue right now.

[4:28:16] Everything else is not on my

[4:28:16] response me I'm doing I'm

[4:28:19] putting on what I have right

[4:28:22] now right now

[4:28:22] is to the 2 more of Chris or

[4:28:23] assessment that was done in I

[4:28:29] am and I said no I don't want

[4:28:30] Lincoln but for now under

[4:28:31] dicicco said this one was seen

[4:28:37] as it is talking about so now

[4:28:38] we we discussed different

[4:28:38] things is so I've We don't have

[4:28:43] them and this is not the issue

[4:28:44] and it's not that you should

[4:28:44] maintain he sure is the issue

[4:28:47] is what we have to. Increase or

[4:28:49] not increase.

[4:28:49] And I've and that we do is i

[4:28:50] don't know if them if we don't

[4:28:55] have the money would we bring

[4:28:56] it here. Why are we discussing

[4:28:56] something we don't have the

[4:28:59] money.

[4:28:59] That means the project will not

[4:29:00] start if we don't have the

[4:29:04] money.

[4:29:05] Ok what think okay excellent

[4:29:06] what I'm asking I'm going to

[4:29:10] ask that staff do, but there

[4:29:11] are. We're done before we

[4:29:11] presented here to to the

[4:29:16] commission because we're all

[4:29:16] in confusion because I would

[4:29:17] like we were seeing a lot of

[4:29:24] time I'd like to know option

[4:29:25] one option to up to 3. We vote

[4:29:26] we should is. A b or c. But now

[4:29:28] it's we spending on of times he

[4:29:29] should have been done a long

[4:29:31] time ago.

[4:29:32] Even doing that does budget

[4:29:32] presentation should have been

[4:29:36] done where has risen have

[4:29:37] obviously expressed himself

[4:29:40] there and unless it again.

[4:29:41] Most of us were not present at

[4:29:41] this and we have a workshop

[4:29:47] with there agenda review what

[4:29:48] we discussed a sting right now.

[4:29:53] Back to just one for you man.

[4:29:54] >> Okay so we do have Grant

[4:29:55] funding already security for

[4:29:57] those project what the city

[4:30:02] back just saying in

[4:30:03] order to Ruby they assess

[4:30:06] offense, you know are they on

[4:30:06] the fund. We're seeking

[4:30:07] additional grant to cover the

[4:30:14] portions that a settlement is

[4:30:15] now going to cover. So we do

[4:30:15] have that fun taking place and

[4:30:20] we need to increase its testing

[4:30:21] too fund the city's portion of

[4:30:21] that total cost up to 2

[4:30:23] projects all right so we do

[4:30:23] have that I didn't secure it

[4:30:24] they're looking for additional

[4:30:29] funding to see for getting

[4:30:30] relieve that burden. The cause

[4:30:30] of the assessment.

[4:30:33] Okay because.

[4:30:34] >> So if you get yeah

[4:30:34] appreciate so it goes back to

[4:30:37] what we discussed right now I

[4:30:38] was going to increase it would

[4:30:38] not increase it, I mean did I

[4:30:42] say for me.

[4:30:43] I mean the motion there to keep

[4:30:43] the system and the way it is

[4:30:47] for now under the services and

[4:30:48] what we hear what is so it's

[4:30:48] all I'm going to vote for us

[4:30:51] over the and this one is a man.

[4:30:58] My amendment so I'm

[4:30:59] asking for grants and what was

[4:31:00] so great we can do something we

[4:31:03] don't have to say we do have

[4:31:04] made here and they're not ok.

[4:31:05] We can start the project if we

[4:31:09] don't have the complete funding

[4:31:10] I just checked it under so I

[4:31:10] think grants we need the

[4:31:13] assessments to cover that

[4:31:13] portion of the grant is not

[4:31:14] funding okay to

[4:31:15] have okay.

[4:36:07] >> the army.

[4:36:08] >> Things I'm going to ask to

[4:36:08] see them address that we

[4:36:11] mentioned that a return from

[4:36:15] resident, we need some

[4:36:16] information that. On morning my

[4:36:17] conversation with last week

[4:36:20] with so.

[4:36:21] That means to me says so

[4:36:21] assistant city manager we

[4:36:25] didn't discuss that. The fak

[4:36:25] truck uses they're somewhat

[4:36:26] quest in the community that we

[4:36:31] have purchase that item there.

[4:36:32] Resident have not seen it in

[4:36:38] the street.

[4:36:39] And based on something for us

[4:36:40] to I disagree with that because

[4:36:42] if we're

[4:36:43] using it or you win it when

[4:36:43] it's when water what's the

[4:36:49] purpose. We could at least one

[4:36:50] already won. I think the job

[4:36:51] for that I MAY be wrong.

[4:36:56] But when we request we press it

[4:36:56] for up to buy back truck.

[4:36:57] It was to clean up all the how

[4:37:00] to call the drainage to

[4:37:04] prevent.

[4:37:04] Removed for prevention to make

[4:37:05] sure we don't have flood

[4:37:10] issues. So resident were

[4:37:11] correct. The resident and we

[4:37:12] ask that was correct in asking

[4:37:16] where is the backdrop. And some

[4:37:17] cities have to. And if we're

[4:37:17] waiting for. After his is

[4:37:20] flooded these what's the use

[4:37:23] of that.

[4:37:23] I would like to get the report

[4:37:24] what it what do we do what are

[4:37:27] we doing with the backdrop at

[4:37:34] this point.

[4:37:38] >> My follow-up on

[4:37:39] the 29th. All right that we on

[4:37:40] that one of the items to follow

[4:37:44] up but okay okay, so that means

[4:37:45] a good purpose of providing is

[4:37:46] my career is tough to do what.

[4:37:50] To use.

[4:37:50] 5 days a week 8 hours a day so

[4:37:54] it should be used.

[4:37:55] And so where will work with

[4:37:56] public works what will put the

[4:37:57] report together and we'll come

[4:37:58] up with a schedule and how we

[4:37:59] can make it also more visible

[4:38:04] when it's out on the road and I

[4:38:05] don't we have it just have it.

[4:38:06] We had this warm water about so

[4:38:12] how do we have this one.

[4:38:13] About a year about a year.

[4:38:14] We haven't other we have

[4:38:18] another one as well right, but

[4:38:18] we have to wonder sewer one

[4:38:19] does drain right, but I just

[4:38:21] want to be clear because we're

[4:38:22] safe with resin say they

[4:38:23] haven't seen it deal tonight.

[4:38:25] Well I would bang things

[4:38:26] considered and sit there and

[4:38:31] that's money.

[4:38:32] Right now it's raining a lot

[4:38:33] and in different places that

[4:38:35] were then I expect him to what

[4:38:41] do you think weather

[4:38:41] receipt after hours. But that's

[4:38:43] not the point are we

[4:38:43] doing there make sure

[4:38:44] preventing that removing those

[4:38:48] clear those other things

[4:38:49] because at that we bought it

[4:38:50] for as a person situation

[4:38:52] emergency. And it's been a year

[4:38:57] is that the news.

[4:38:58] We will get your teacher

[4:38:58] reported connects ok, thank

[4:39:04] you.

[4:41:56] services facilities and

[4:41:57] programs. The water management

[4:41:57] system within the geographical

[4:42:01] boundaries of

[4:42:01] the district establishing the

[4:42:02] assessment rate of $200 for

[4:42:05] assessments for the fiscal year

[4:42:06] beginning OCTOBER one 2026,

[4:42:11] approving confirming in

[4:42:18] to 2027 to be adopted as one of

[4:42:18] the city's budget but the

[4:42:19] city Commission providing for

[4:42:20] conflict providing for

[4:42:24] severability and providing for

[4:42:24] an effective date.

[4:42:36] Presentations.

[4:42:37] >> Tonight I'm going to do

[4:42:38] still matter to this

[4:43:14] presentation. Thank you.

[4:43:19] >> Could

[4:43:20] even land. My name is Sharon

[4:43:21] Stewart the budget manager I'm

[4:43:23] here to present the water

[4:43:24] control district proposed

[4:43:28] budget for fiscal year

[4:43:29] 2027. So the budget is

[4:43:35] 2 million 560 thousand

[4:43:36] 320. And what we have proposed

[4:43:36] in the budget in order to

[4:43:43] balance it is to increase the

[4:43:44] assessment $200 per unit which

[4:43:45] would run it would generate

[4:43:49] 2 million 253 6 '08.

[4:43:50] We have identified other

[4:43:54] revenues and the amount of

[4:43:55] 306,712. So it's a balance the

[4:43:56] budget without using any fund

[4:44:05] balance we are recommended the

[4:44:06] $200 per unit. Assessment so it

[4:44:06] it would bring the total

[4:44:09] revenues to

[4:44:09] 2 million 5 6320 without using

[4:44:12] fund

[4:44:13] this is one of the funds

[4:44:13] tonight that is considered

[4:44:19] structurally balanced because

[4:44:20] we're not used to revenues from

[4:44:21] fund balance, the budget.

[4:44:23] So if it's passed that's what

[4:44:24] it would be a structurally

[4:44:26] balanced budget.

[4:44:26] In regards to the water

[4:44:27] control, what's really

[4:44:34] pressuring is that we have and

[4:44:35] the quip meant. That's being

[4:44:44] requested a $125,000 for the

[4:44:45] we do. In addition, we have

[4:44:46] that Canal maintenance and also

[4:44:48] a grant match for Canal

[4:44:49] stabilization project which is

[4:44:50] a million dollars so the canal

[4:44:55] maintenance is a million.

[4:44:56] The stabilize station matches a

[4:44:56] million dollars along with the

[4:44:57] equipment so those are the

[4:44:58] items this really drive in the

[4:44:58] budget and that's what we refer

[4:45:06] to as the budgetary pressures

[4:45:07] and this fun and that

[4:45:07] presidents. The budget for the

[4:45:10] water control district.

[4:45:15] For public comment.

[4:45:23] No public we offer a motion.

[4:45:24] I know some any comments about

[4:45:29] this.

[4:45:36] I recognize.

[4:45:36] Can you please clarify this.

[4:45:37] $200 per unit. The difference

[4:45:46] between this and what you see.

[4:45:47] If you can explain that for the

[4:45:47] resident pays the current.

[4:45:51] First says the proposed 200.

[4:46:04] Bear with me a moment.

[4:46:05] And also clarify what is it you

[4:46:06] want to because you want to be

[4:46:12] an apartment House you know.

[4:46:13] >> Just clarify that I think

[4:46:21] since clarified it.

[4:46:21] >> So in regards to what the

[4:46:27] difference would be so the

[4:46:27] current rate. If that was

[4:46:33] adopted in 2026 is

[4:46:34] per unit. So if we were to

[4:46:34] maintain that we have a tax

[4:46:47] base of about 11.

[4:46:47] 1674 units. At that $95 unit we

[4:46:48] would generate approximately

[4:46:49] are under a million dollars

[4:46:50] and then would have the

[4:46:50] additional other revenue

[4:46:56] sources that I mention of the

[4:46:59] 306. So. In

[4:47:00] addition to and not using any

[4:47:01] fund balance in order to

[4:47:03] balance this we would need

[4:47:09] about one

[4:47:09] 0.1 million dollars and the

[4:47:10] from the reserve fund in order

[4:47:12] to be able to balance this

[4:47:13] budget. If the that $200 is not

[4:47:21] approved.

[4:47:22] >> We're back to the same same

[4:47:23] place of discussion earlier

[4:47:33] this different meeting but.

[4:47:40] Well that other alternatives.

[4:47:41] >> The alternative is that we

[4:47:43] actually have that grant

[4:47:44] match right which we need to

[4:47:45] fund so that's already a

[4:47:47] million dollars that's off the

[4:47:50] top that we actually need

[4:47:51] to fund and then the

[4:47:52] maintenance itself is projected

[4:47:54] to cost us a million dollars.

[4:47:58] So.

[4:47:59] Primarily those are the 2

[4:48:00] expenditures that's our drive

[4:48:03] in

[4:48:03] this budget and those are the

[4:48:04] ones that we really need to to

[4:48:09] find

[4:48:10] here so if we were not approve

[4:48:10] the assessment then we're

[4:48:12] looking at the gun into the

[4:48:13] reserves in order to be able to

[4:48:14] offset those because we do have

[4:48:18] to match. We do have to show

[4:48:19] that we have the match. Grant

[4:48:20] in order to be able to accept

[4:48:22] it and we have to budget that

[4:48:31] if we do.

[4:48:32] >> is kuz from 95 to 295 to 200

[4:48:39] is the proposed yes

[4:48:40] not everyone who lives in the

[4:48:40] canal. Everyone pays that and

[4:48:44] the city.

[4:48:45] >> Everyone pays us from that

[4:48:45] tax base

[4:48:49] that's generated.

[4:48:50] >> I'm not so sure if every if

[4:48:51] the same reason that we're here

[4:48:53] it would understand that.

[4:48:54] I don't think they understand

[4:48:55] it they MAY not even know about

[4:48:59] it.

[4:48:59] >> They MAY not know about it

[4:49:00] but is actually represented and

[4:49:02] trim notice that they do see

[4:49:07] that there is

[4:49:07] this expenditure. That's

[4:49:08] propose in the trend of notice

[4:49:09] so they are notified. Every

[4:49:10] year annually through their

[4:49:10] term notice and also when they

[4:49:13] pay their tax bills they see

[4:49:19] exactly what their pain.

[4:49:19] >> During the year in our

[4:49:23] presentation there during

[4:49:23] town hall meetings with due to

[4:49:26] budget.

[4:49:27] Was it mention at all to the

[4:49:33] resident.

[4:49:34] At the Yeah, I'm sorry you

[4:49:38] measure. They were yes.

[4:49:39] Ok so I know I know people know

[4:49:40] project 200 area but I do

[4:49:42] understand at this point you

[4:50:12] could do it, I don't know.

[4:50:26] See you're going.

[4:50:26] >> So in $5 is going to create

[4:50:27] a a million. 600 as. Yes over

[4:50:32] that.

[4:50:33] >> It's a it's a 200 so we're

[4:50:33] looking where it's is from

[4:50:37] 95 to 200.

[4:50:38] >> It's all going to go one of

[4:50:41] on the

[4:50:48] that's over a million 600.

[4:50:49] The property or ready to do it

[4:50:52] you know, that's I got

[4:50:54] 15,000 or

[4:51:01] 15,600 homes.

[4:51:02] >> She said so it is the tax

[4:51:03] base is 11 properties 11,000

[4:51:05] better before that we get a

[4:51:12] sense

[4:51:13] so it's an 11,011 1006 74 units

[4:51:14] that we can assess. Times to

[4:51:19] 200.

[4:51:22] >> Uconn team with

[4:51:24] apartment.

[4:51:25] >> Note these including the

[4:51:25] apartment. These are these are

[4:51:33] the units yes that that's

[4:51:34] included exactly. I got the

[4:51:34] phone number to the chair

[4:51:40] you're recognized.

[4:51:40] >> The we have 3 units and 4

[4:51:41] units sensing that from eu is

[4:51:44] so the person that has a

[4:51:45] triplex attract next pays the

[4:51:53] same. 200.

[4:51:54] But all 3 are 200 per unit for

[4:51:55] abc or the way that it works it

[4:51:55] would her Folio right so that's

[4:52:01] what it would be.

[4:52:02] >> Essentially. Stanley MS.

[4:52:06] N.

[4:52:06] Okay so yes, they would they

[4:52:10] would pay

[4:52:10] the same. So if it's 3 you it's

[4:52:14] you and whatever is considering

[4:52:15] a unit. So they would pay the

[4:52:15] same as the other person as

[4:52:18] well so it's not I'm looking at

[4:52:19] it separately is what

[4:52:20] you're thinking. But as per

[4:52:21] unit and that's how the the

[4:52:30] numbers are true and so the 2.

[4:52:31] Yeah okay, so why are so far so

[4:52:31] how's this in the purse

[4:52:36] structure.

[4:52:36] >> The structure. Not for

[4:52:46] parcel yeah structure.

[4:52:52] Not 60200.

[4:52:52] This 200 or so Utah. So if you

[4:52:53] want to eat healthy. Whether

[4:53:02] it's a triplex duplex on that.

[4:53:03] And to a chair. Yes, who's the

[4:53:05] chair, I thought

[4:53:10] it was.

[4:53:11] >> I'm the It's just that

[4:53:11] Street as I stated actually the

[4:53:17] real chair.

[4:53:18] >> is is she a the Lewis vsu

[4:53:18] she decided that someone has

[4:53:21] covered 4 wide into the vice

[4:53:34] >> I think it might go.

[4:53:35] My question is there any reason

[4:53:39] why just jump from

[4:53:40] 95 to 200. Okay and that was it

[4:53:40] me or is it asking why is it we

[4:53:45] don't have anything.

[4:53:45] Gradual or in between white who

[4:53:46] could see from from step 1, 2,

[4:53:49] on the way to the disco tent,

[4:53:50] 200 the same reason that we're

[4:53:57] talking about to the chair.

[4:53:57] >> So the reason why we looked

[4:53:58] at 200 because as mentioned we

[4:54:03] are looking for a structurally

[4:54:04] balanced budget here we're

[4:54:04] we're not using any of our

[4:54:08] reserves to fund the operations

[4:54:09] within the water control

[4:54:09] district so the 200 would give

[4:54:19] us that revenue so that we

[4:54:19] could not have to use and the

[4:54:20] reserves at all. So that was

[4:54:23] the premise of the $200

[4:54:23] assessment any other, but

[4:54:24] they're all I could identify

[4:54:28] some other ones if you'd like

[4:54:29] to hear, but that was the

[4:54:29] premise behind the $200 one so

[4:54:36] that we could preserve the

[4:54:37] reserves that we have in this

[4:54:38] fund. So this would. Preserve

[4:54:44] the reserve.

[4:54:45] >> And what to know that funds

[4:54:46] going into the reserve to

[4:54:50] rebuild there are nothing with

[4:54:50] the going to be 0 doubt it

[4:54:51] would it would because we would

[4:54:54] not rely on any fund balance at

[4:54:54] all and then that would stay

[4:54:57] there and to be able

[4:54:58] to fund in and build a reserve

[4:54:58] is that what you're talking

[4:55:01] about throughout the years so

[4:55:04] there is at that event is a

[4:55:05] water reserves for the water

[4:55:06] control districts only doctors

[4:55:11] are not general now because

[4:55:12] these this revenue is just to

[4:55:13] support the operations related

[4:55:16] to the water control district

[4:55:17] it cannot be used for any other

[4:55:17] funding sources at all just

[4:55:20] just the water control. All

[4:55:21] right,

[4:55:28] thank you.

[4:55:29] >> Checking in effect can occur

[4:55:30] when dirt trying recognize

[4:55:34] thank you. Question

[4:55:35] are the reason from work go to

[4:55:36] you exempted or to to pay that

[4:55:40] too.

[4:55:41] >> I'm thinking that that's

[4:55:41] where you said brought it was a

[4:55:44] part of that everybody pays

[4:55:48] this right city one.

[4:55:48] >> All right so the only the

[4:55:49] only options if you mention is

[4:55:53] too. Not to use the reserve.

[4:55:58] But charter as it.

[4:55:58] >> Well they're they're more

[4:55:59] than one options is basically

[4:56:04] what what's decided here

[4:56:05] tonight and was voted on.

[4:56:09] You could not use the

[4:56:10] reserves right or you could

[4:56:15] propose maybe another.

[4:56:16] Unit assessment that can also

[4:56:16] be done as well or you can get

[4:56:20] and maintain current

[4:56:20] so there. This is just the

[4:56:21] proposal he regards to what

[4:56:26] came up with regards to the

[4:56:26] budget so that we can maintain

[4:56:27] our fund balance but of course

[4:56:30] this is not the end all be all

[4:56:34] there's opportunities

[4:56:34] to adjusted anyway that you all

[4:56:35] want to and vote on that

[4:56:38] tonight. My question is there

[4:56:38] any every exhausted every other

[4:56:43] funding opportunities, sources.

[4:56:44] >> Well besides the site

[4:56:45] include the site bringing the

[4:56:50] it resident.

[4:56:52] >> In order to fund we we've

[4:56:53] really cannot do we need to use

[4:56:54] like the general fund to be

[4:56:56] able to support this so this is

[4:57:01] a specific.

[4:57:01] Budget that relates to the

[4:57:02] expenditures are related to

[4:57:10] this so this is how it's going

[4:57:11] to be funded in terms of of of

[4:57:12] just identifying the sources

[4:57:14] and be able to also find

[4:57:15] whatever expenditures that we

[4:57:15] have proposed for the next

[4:57:18] fiscal year right, but you have

[4:57:19] to start, but you have that

[4:57:20] risk right to answer my

[4:57:23] question has said have we.

[4:57:23] >> He says that if we identify

[4:57:26] other funding. So says.

[4:57:28] And not to pass this to

[4:57:31] a resident.

[4:57:32] >> The other funding sources

[4:57:33] that right now we have that

[4:57:34] 1 million

[4:57:34] dollars grant that we're get in

[4:57:35] and we just have to match that

[4:57:38] so that's what funding source

[4:57:42] that's been identified

[4:57:42] separately from the assessment

[4:57:43] that residents

[4:57:46] would face.

[4:57:52] >> Okay base based

[4:57:53] that I'm not companies to

[4:57:54] satisfy with this and I don't

[4:57:56] see if we cannot identify the

[4:57:57] source I don't see how the same

[4:57:57] reason that we think we keep

[4:58:00] asking and I'm sure most of the

[4:58:00] hundreds to do will be staying

[4:58:06] here tonight

[4:58:06] to try to see what can be done

[4:58:07] because that we've got throat

[4:58:13] cut just

[4:58:14] like it, I'm not in support of

[4:58:15] myself so I thank you to the

[4:58:20] task. Okay so.

[4:58:21] >> The the stabilization

[4:58:24] project is you know at a port

[4:58:25] 6 Million. The general fund is

[4:58:26] already finding almost

[4:58:31] 4 million

[4:58:32] off it. They want to control

[4:58:32] district our place funding a

[4:58:37] part of it are the the

[4:58:38] wcb he's only paying a billion

[4:58:39] of that 6 Million.

[4:58:40] So too. You know the other

[4:58:41] funding sources, the general

[4:58:44] fund which is covering almost

[4:58:55] 4 million of this project cost.

[4:58:55] >> I just want what other

[4:58:58] cities.

[4:59:03] Lot lot of that

[4:59:04] >> They're or 2 and if if we

[4:59:05] know the pain going to $51 for

[4:59:09] you.

[4:59:13] But when patients paying $51

[4:59:13] every year. What is going on

[4:59:24] yeah it's a bigger supply.

[4:59:28] What was that.

[4:59:29] >> MAY I just add something

[4:59:32] regards

[4:59:33] >> they wanted to basically no

[4:59:34] there there is and if we

[4:59:36] exhausted all our options so

[4:59:37] I would just like to say that

[4:59:44] we.

[4:59:45] You know trying to ensure that

[4:59:45] we did not tap into our our

[4:59:46] reserves. But we do have 3.4

[4:59:47] million dollars available in

[4:59:48] reserves that can be utilized

[4:59:50] to offset this expenditures

[4:59:55] as well.

[4:59:56] >> new cities thing money I

[4:59:57] mean is can a paying more money

[5:00:02] than $200 in the lower Hill.

[5:00:03] The other one every other city.

[5:00:07] They're below a $100.

[5:00:11] I under a $100.

[5:00:16] >> Through the chair to chair.

[5:00:16] For sure. Chair, yes, your your

[5:00:18] record that's ok,

[5:00:19] thank you.

[5:00:19] >> My my my thing is is that

[5:00:20] that you know I'm not there to

[5:00:28] blame to think the point is.

[5:00:29] Have we done studies any recent

[5:00:30] every got hot. If if if we

[5:00:32] would present a come to the

[5:00:33] commission say we've done to

[5:00:33] study what does all this

[5:00:36] completely besides cutting

[5:00:36] things there or charging

[5:00:37] vision, I'll be ok, I'll see

[5:00:44] that but if if we have to for

[5:00:45] me. Not until I have of see

[5:00:45] this. I would like to see just

[5:00:49] like my family if

[5:00:50] if I do my family or some of

[5:00:51] them do ok we we should do this

[5:00:55] we should they we have to do

[5:00:56] is. But I've got to tell that

[5:00:57] showed him what other revenues

[5:01:02] that whether things I'm doing

[5:01:03] there to bring some revenue

[5:01:04] net. What is it what it is in

[5:01:08] the House we need to cell or.

[5:01:08] Bauer will do something there

[5:01:09] when Rick's pics exhaust

[5:01:12] everything that the only thing

[5:01:13] we have to do because we need

[5:01:19] it we're going to

[5:01:19] have to I'm going to have hit

[5:01:20] pitch and so can do but in this

[5:01:23] case is

[5:01:23] same thing the same residents

[5:01:24] we talked all those assisting

[5:01:28] talk about tonight.

[5:01:28] And then and until we can

[5:01:29] explain to them. Why we need

[5:01:34] it. But or they need to get

[5:01:34] where I'm going to find that

[5:01:35] money. And that's all it is and

[5:01:39] then.

[5:01:40] If we've got a look what areas

[5:01:41] should look at every area every

[5:01:45] possibility to find that.

[5:01:45] Not to pass it on. That's

[5:01:55] that's what I meant that's all.

[5:01:56] But I'm terrified 5 just

[5:01:57] quickly and so commissioner.

[5:01:57] The

[5:02:01] reason why.

[5:02:02] >> We need we need to move off

[5:02:03] of the $95 amount is mainly

[5:02:06] because I've.

[5:02:09] Stabilization project right

[5:02:10] so we've we've used all of the

[5:02:11] arpa money or we have used all

[5:02:12] the arpa money by the end of

[5:02:13] DECEMBER will have used what

[5:02:14] the general funds contributed

[5:02:18] we have a little bit of work

[5:02:19] left to do to finish. You know

[5:02:20] that all the square feet or the

[5:02:26] linear feet that the commission

[5:02:26] had directed to be done.

[5:02:27] And so that's the reason why we

[5:02:30] need to move off of the 95 we

[5:02:31] historically this is a story

[5:02:32] always low assessment and as it

[5:02:36] increased. Commissioner Louis

[5:02:37] as earlier someone asked

[5:02:37] earlier if this was you know if

[5:02:42] the assessments once they're

[5:02:42] set is always where it needs to

[5:02:43] be this home that would

[5:02:45] probably fortunate because

[5:02:46] we're not going to stabilize

[5:02:49] canals

[5:02:50] every year ever going to

[5:02:50] stabilize them and then that

[5:02:54] system is supposed to end.

[5:02:54] There MAY be some additional

[5:02:55] once we need to do down the

[5:03:01] road. But it but as the budget

[5:03:01] manager said there is a reserve

[5:03:02] that you can use so if you want

[5:03:05] to do if you want to go in the

[5:03:06] middle somewhere you can if not

[5:03:06] there is a reserve that will

[5:03:10] cover this cost and you can

[5:03:13] leave it at the 95. It's what.

[5:03:14] The guy that said what the

[5:03:17] board wants

[5:03:18] to do. And you know you MAY

[5:03:19] want to give them a lot of that

[5:03:23] on the project.

[5:03:23] Probation are not part of the

[5:03:24] board but I just want to help

[5:03:34] us do this.

[5:03:34] >> Okay so the canal state

[5:03:35] loses civilization project the

[5:03:38] schedule in DECEMBER. They're

[5:03:38] still portions that need to be

[5:03:42] on.

[5:03:43] In addition we all, but you

[5:03:44] have to look at I think

[5:03:46] seawalls are some rocks to

[5:03:46] stabilize the areas where the

[5:03:47] court from. But that is not

[5:03:52] going to work so just what we

[5:03:53] need to increase the funds to

[5:03:54] build up our reserves to

[5:03:57] address on areas.

[5:03:57] To ensure that man's question

[5:04:02] you know Russia.

[5:04:03] >> How many canals or are all

[5:04:06] the canal is going to be.

[5:04:07] Stabilize and everything's by

[5:04:10] DECEMBER.

[5:04:10] >> We're going to have a

[5:04:11] proximity. I want to see 20.

[5:04:13] There is of canals that are

[5:04:15] going to

[5:04:16] be addressed. But there is

[5:04:16] where this method or using

[5:04:19] other bags are not going to

[5:04:21] work because

[5:04:22] there's drop-offs we're going

[5:04:23] to probably need seawalls are

[5:04:25] we need to put on the big

[5:04:26] boulders to reinforce them to

[5:04:27] come back ok,

[5:04:27] all right.

[5:04:28] >> That's the first part of

[5:04:29] question if not all of them not

[5:04:33] all 30 and I want them to do

[5:04:34] that then everybody in the city

[5:04:37] will be.

[5:04:38] When petraeus assessment how to

[5:04:41] phrase it

[5:04:41] because those words say well

[5:04:42] why slump it what am I think

[5:04:47] that's something that is not

[5:04:47] even touching my area. I cannot

[5:04:50] behind me so that's that's the

[5:04:51] single and the second reason

[5:04:52] second thing it if the re if

[5:04:58] the fund is just for that or to

[5:04:59] address these canals at what

[5:05:00] point will if we do not have

[5:05:06] any revenues at what point

[5:05:06] weiwei's keeping this reserve

[5:05:07] for. That's what I'm saying.

[5:05:09] If it was set for that.

[5:05:10] >> So so there's ongoing

[5:05:13] maintenance where the

[5:05:14] so we're looking to also

[5:05:17] purchase a we do in the

[5:05:19] next fiscal. Just go after

[5:05:20] Harvester where to get weeds

[5:05:21] out of the canals correct we

[5:05:24] have to make sure that water

[5:05:25] flows if we don't take it the

[5:05:25] result of the canal. I was

[5:05:31] talking to flow.

[5:05:31] >> I get that sorry, I got it,

[5:05:32] but it's just that I'm trying

[5:05:33] to

[5:05:34] figure that it's not all that

[5:05:35] can House going to be repaired

[5:05:37] or be stabilized at this point

[5:05:40] those who

[5:05:41] were not who and not being

[5:05:42] repaired while they pay they're

[5:05:44] going to ask why am I paying

[5:05:48] for something

[5:05:49] that's it's got my So what is

[5:05:56] going to appear to be here.

[5:05:59] Quick question.

[5:06:02] How many.

[5:06:03] >> Kinda have got left that

[5:06:07] have been done is it Rossi.

[5:06:13] >> Probably the. Maybe

[5:06:14] >> And what would be the

[5:06:15] turnaround time for the windows

[5:06:18] if those other one that I'm not

[5:06:19] going up the box and they need

[5:06:20] to have the law that's going to

[5:06:22] take a long time putting a

[5:06:23] pause and instead of sandbox

[5:06:27] dollar.

[5:06:27] >> Real good assessment was

[5:06:28] project complete is completed

[5:06:29] in DECEMBER it will do an

[5:06:30] assessment of the remaining

[5:06:31] interest to other areas where

[5:06:35] sea wall to the phone report

[5:06:36] that but also to be addressed.

[5:06:37] Okay, so that's up to DECEMBER.

[5:06:39] Yes.

[5:06:49] So we have to budget for that.

[5:06:50] So we're just going to go see

[5:06:51] was for the time being to

[5:06:51] be 10 budget for what to do the

[5:06:52] assessment and then we'll

[5:06:55] figure have a ballpark of what

[5:06:56] we need to put it for. So

[5:07:01] there's nothing going into it.

[5:07:01] >> Due to budget for the base

[5:07:05] for their assessment of

[5:07:06] the seawater but this fiscal

[5:07:07] pressure that's going to be I

[5:07:13] need. It was correct. I mean

[5:07:14] But in the worst ones first

[5:07:14] night that leave this house

[5:07:15] that

[5:07:18] was sinking.

[5:07:18] >> Right so interesting to note

[5:07:22] because we have those the grant

[5:07:23] funds and we use this method to

[5:07:23] get as much bang for a buck so

[5:07:27] soccer.

[5:07:28] For the record to chair for

[5:07:31] the record.

[5:07:37] >> vice mayor comes to

[5:07:37] so the numbers I was like I

[5:07:38] would like you know he just say

[5:07:43] something but

[5:07:44] >> the North up and around you

[5:07:49] know all these cds

[5:07:49] it's hard to argue the 7.37.

[5:07:57] That was it.

[5:07:58] I don't know why we're. So

[5:08:02] pressing the mobile numbers.

[5:08:03] What a control district is

[5:08:04] every I never see the same

[5:08:09] thing.

[5:08:24] What the From ocd. Jet that.

[5:08:24] >> I mean and that's what

[5:08:25] that's what they're there to

[5:08:29] pay so certain that it all

[5:08:29] depends on the size of the

[5:08:33] city. Of canals and have.

[5:08:34] >> it projects that might have

[5:08:35] going on so partly would have

[5:08:42] too projects going on where as

[5:08:49] >> Well is $51.

[5:08:50] >> a bigger city where revenues

[5:09:01] are.

[5:09:09] Good to go to Texas to leave.

[5:09:15] At all.

[5:09:15] Was it business and that is to

[5:09:16] cause a lot of people think I

[5:09:19] can see that little residents

[5:09:20] are complaining about it.

[5:09:22] So keep in mind.

[5:09:25] >> Given my we were at a

[5:09:26] $100 on. 2 years ago and it was

[5:09:27] reduced to 95 last fiscal year.

[5:09:31] So we've we've been reducing it

[5:09:31] so that that's another reason

[5:09:34] why you know we

[5:09:35] need to the backup to build our

[5:09:36] reserves to addressing issues

[5:09:40] that come up.

[5:09:41] >> Well I haven't risen with

[5:09:42] the he's think the 2000 others,

[5:09:49] some and I mean does another

[5:09:49] talks. And these properties

[5:09:52] probably 400 of the moment.

[5:09:57] Imagine.

[5:09:58] They had their funding over

[5:09:59] there is going to be more

[5:10:06] money.

[5:10:13] >> call the question.

[5:10:14] The question where are the

[5:10:25] questions.

[5:10:28] Causing some to stoop to.

[5:10:29] >> The motion that's on the

[5:10:32] floor is

[5:10:35] keep the make the rate the

[5:10:36] suggested amount. It was motion

[5:10:37] and second I just want to make

[5:10:39] sure we

[5:10:40] know that but that's what we

[5:10:41] are there yet, but it is is on

[5:10:46] the

[5:10:46] floor correct. That's what I'm

[5:10:47] just so you know was a chair

[5:10:53] the the motion.

[5:10:53] Have a motion to have a motion

[5:10:57] a second or

[5:10:58] >> The motion a second that was

[5:10:58] on the floor was to keep the to

[5:11:01] keep that can't get this under

[5:11:09] a he's a 100.

[5:11:10] >> Keep it that are $2.95 a

[5:11:11] year or is it a motion to

[5:11:14] approve the 2 and it was a

[5:11:15] motion to approve the motion

[5:11:16] was as red and the motion as to

[5:11:18] how it was going to 200 so if

[5:11:19] you want to change that

[5:11:20] argument to anything that you

[5:11:23] have to.

[5:11:24] >> Turn that you know the so

[5:11:28] the motion is

[5:11:31] to keep the rate at 95, not

[5:11:32] know that the poll struggle the

[5:11:33] pros at 200 yes, what the

[5:11:35] resolution for the resolution

[5:11:40] r.
