Commissioner, 620 00:22:25,241 --> 00:22:27,176 please, I did not advocate 621 00:22:27,176 --> 00:22:31,247 that I just for the record.

I'm just trying to 630 00:22:42,458 --> 00:22:43,193 state the facts. If you go to 631 00:22:43,193 --> 00:22:43,959 7 point for most, everybody is 632 00:22:43,959 --> 00:22:45,728 going to get a reduction 633 00:22:45,728 --> 00:22:46,462 unless there a new new 634 00:22:46,462 --> 00:22:48,862 construction or something like 635 00:22:48,931 --> 00:22:49,632 If you go in the middle, then 636 00:22:49,632 --> 00:22:53,232 most everybody is going get a 637 00:22:55,371 --> 00:22:56,739 reduction. Also. You are 638 00:22:56,739 --> 00:22:58,739 talking. 639 00:23:02,445 --> 00:23:03,947 >> We're doing this. 640 00:23:03,947 --> 00:23:04,647 >> We do that law. I know 641 00:23:04,647 --> 00:23:07,583 reminds me of Monday morning, 642 00:23:07,583 --> 00:23:09,686 little So Let let me to back 643 00:23:09,686 --> 00:23:13,757 it up. I agree with you on one 644 00:23:13,757 --> 00:23:15,659 side. What you just said. What 645 00:23:15,659 --> 00:23:16,659 I'm saying is we went through 646 00:23:16,659 --> 00:23:19,659 this. We went through this 647 00:23:19,863 --> 00:23:20,597 whole last 3 days in order to 648 00:23:20,597 --> 00:23:24,670 get a budget down to something 649 00:23:24,670 --> 00:23:25,635 that was reasonable. If the 650 00:23:25,635 --> 00:23:28,635 clerk of court and the 651 00:23:32,375 --> 00:23:35,375 sheriff. 5%. If I sitting on 652 00:23:37,113 --> 00:23:37,681 their shoes. And I sit there 653 00:23:37,681 --> 00:23:40,681 and say, us how say 654 00:23:43,653 --> 00:23:44,320 hypothetically, we say 7.6. 655 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,320 Because 1.1 million dollars 656 00:23:49,525 --> 00:23:51,994 more. Than what we need. 657 00:23:51,994 --> 00:23:54,994 Sitting in their shoes. Look 658 00:23:55,565 --> 00:23:58,168 at Superior. What do we go 659 00:23:58,168 --> 00:24:00,568 through the exercise? That's 660 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:04,807 my point. All I'm saying is if 661 00:24:04,807 --> 00:24:06,676 you go down to some to what 662 00:24:06,676 --> 00:24:09,676 you basically need. Take care 663 00:24:09,979 --> 00:24:12,449 of the budget and that that 664 00:24:12,449 --> 00:24:14,849 7.4 right now without these 665 00:24:15,351 --> 00:24:18,351 additions. You half a million 666 00:24:21,324 --> 00:24:23,324 dollars for. 2 Million. 1.6, 667 00:24:26,296 --> 00:24:26,965 not 650. So that's my point. I 668 00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:29,667 agree with you and assessed 669 00:24:29,667 --> 00:24:32,667 values all that stuff. Think 670 00:24:35,606 --> 00:24:37,640 back when. 8 years we could 671 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,608 and mileage. Next year we came 672 00:24:38,608 --> 00:24:41,245 back in got spanked because we 673 00:24:41,245 --> 00:24:41,978 couldn't pay their bills. So 674 00:24:41,978 --> 00:24:45,515 we had had to do that. And the 675 00:24:45,515 --> 00:24:46,582 people. 676 00:24:46,582 --> 00:24:47,651 >> Really get upset when you 677 00:24:47,651 --> 00:24:48,318 raise the mileage. And I don't 678 00:24:48,318 --> 00:24:51,918 I don't like it either. You 679 00:24:53,220 --> 00:24:54,123 know. We don't know what next 680 00:24:54,123 --> 00:24:54,858 year's going bring. We have a 681 00:24:54,858 --> 00:24:59,580 good idea that is going take a 682 00:24:59,162 --> 00:24:59,930 lot away. If you click if you 683 00:24:59,930 --> 00:25:01,231 give a buddy reduction, I'm 684 00:25:01,231 --> 00:25:02,199 just saying and this self 685 00:25:02,199 --> 00:25:04,968 cover. So you give everybody 686 00:25:04,968 --> 00:25:06,870 reduction in their Texas and 687 00:25:06,870 --> 00:25:07,570 you still have amount. You 688 00:25:07,570 --> 00:25:08,605 have amount of reserves and I 689 00:25:08,605 --> 00:25:09,272 know you don't pay tax at a 690 00:25:09,272 --> 00:25:10,873 reserve, but you can always 691 00:25:10,873 --> 00:25:12,475 put it back in the landfill. 692 00:25:12,475 --> 00:25:13,844 Trust and therefore, you're 693 00:25:13,844 --> 00:25:14,878 not you when you have to take 694 00:25:14,878 --> 00:25:15,579 it out of the to pay your 695 00:25:15,579 --> 00:25:16,279 bills, you're not taking that 696 00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:19,482 reserve. So if that makes you 697 00:25:19,482 --> 00:25:22,819 feel better, but if you go 698 00:25:22,819 --> 00:25:25,819 down to 7.8 this year. We 699 00:25:27,424 --> 00:25:28,158 could be at 9.8 next year. 700 00:25:28,158 --> 00:25:30,961 This said that they want to do 701 00:25:30,961 --> 00:25:35,161 that because I am not going to 702 00:25:35,499 --> 00:25:36,166 be one for cutting service. 703 00:25:36,166 --> 00:25:37,768 And I know first responders 704 00:25:37,768 --> 00:25:40,271 are the most the once we have 705 00:25:40,271 --> 00:25:43,473 to have out there. But to me, 706 00:25:43,473 --> 00:25:45,873 senior services. The library. 707 00:25:46,176 --> 00:25:49,176 Playgrounds. Or import it to 708 00:25:50,347 --> 00:25:51,882 the people. Out there. You 709 00:25:51,882 --> 00:25:52,583 know, now it's not the 710 00:25:52,583 --> 00:25:53,283 emergency side of it, but so 711 00:25:53,283 --> 00:25:56,283 important to their quality of 712 00:25:58,788 --> 00:26:02,910 life. Think you go see a big 713 00:26:02,910 --> 00:26:02,793 spike next year and people are 714 00:26:02,793 --> 00:26:05,295 going to be very unhappy. You 715 00:26:05,295 --> 00:26:08,895 can give them a reduction. Is 716 00:26:08,999 --> 00:26:09,699 7.6, but it's going get. Get a 717 00:26:09,699 --> 00:26:12,699 reduction and you still have 718 00:26:14,672 --> 00:26:15,372 You have some cushion. So if 719 00:26:15,372 --> 00:26:18,372 they don't pass this course, 720 00:26:19,275 --> 00:26:20,900 there are the people run for 721 00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:21,780 governor. The candidates 722 00:26:21,780 --> 00:26:21,779 always saying doesn't pass, 723 00:26:21,779 --> 00:26:22,446 we're gonna do something next 724 00:26:22,446 --> 00:26:24,815 year and how you've been to 725 00:26:24,815 --> 00:26:27,651 that. So. But let's just say 726 00:26:27,651 --> 00:26:28,819 they didn't do anything. You 727 00:26:28,819 --> 00:26:30,454 could do another cut next 728 00:26:30,454 --> 00:26:33,557 year. You can do this. You 729 00:26:33,557 --> 00:26:34,758 could cut from from 7.8, 7 0.6 730 00:26:34,758 --> 00:26:36,159 issue. Maybe next year. It 731 00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:38,996 could go to 7.3, 7.4. What is 732 00:26:38,996 --> 00:26:39,730 man you could keep given cuts? 733 00:26:39,730 --> 00:26:43,930 It backfires on us and we have 734 00:26:49,539 --> 00:26:51,776 to go up is not pleasant. Hear 735 00:26:51,776 --> 00:26:55,976 both of you. And both of you 736 00:26:56,312 --> 00:26:57,381 are making. Equally good 737 00:26:57,381 --> 00:26:59,416 points. Believe I can. I can 738 00:26:59,416 --> 00:27:01,816 see the different thoughts. 739 00:27:04,154 --> 00:27:04,888 >> So I will on to it. Just 740 00:27:04,888 --> 00:27:06,690 the fact that if we have to go 741 00:27:06,690 --> 00:27:09,690 up in the future. Well, 742 00:27:10,828 --> 00:27:13,163 aggravate people, then. Is not 743 00:27:13,163 --> 00:27:15,532 as big a concern of mine. And 744 00:27:15,532 --> 00:27:18,835 I know that it will be I'll be 745 00:27:18,835 --> 00:27:19,569 one of the ones running next. 746 00:27:19,569 --> 00:27:23,169 And so likely that would come 747 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,840 in a political year. If we 748 00:27:28,912 --> 00:27:29,513 can. We keep the last last 749 00:27:29,513 --> 00:27:31,513 column as Commissioner 750 00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:33,784 Burrows, but sit. Was that 751 00:27:33,784 --> 00:27:34,385 median number, which I don't 752 00:27:34,385 --> 00:27:35,860 think that we're she's 753 00:27:35,860 --> 00:27:38,860 correctly. I don't think it's 754 00:27:38,389 --> 00:27:39,490 actually a median. 755 00:27:39,490 --> 00:27:41,124 Statistically speaking, but 756 00:27:41,124 --> 00:27:44,124 anyhow that that last drive 757 00:27:46,430 --> 00:27:48,430 number, the 7.0, 4, 6, 9, 1, 758 00:27:49,132 --> 00:27:49,833 For rounding sake, 7.5 still 759 00:27:49,833 --> 00:27:51,401 has us with a half a million 760 00:27:51,401 --> 00:27:55,100 over and above, which is a 761 00:27:57,608 --> 00:28:00,608 reasonable. And would give I 762 00:28:02,479 --> 00:28:03,180 believe. Our citizens, their 763 00:28:03,180 --> 00:28:06,780 best break that we can afford 764 00:28:07,451 --> 00:28:08,719 it. This time. And again, if 765 00:28:08,719 --> 00:28:11,220 if we have to go up there 766 00:28:11,220 --> 00:28:11,756 after and it gets all of our 767 00:28:11,756 --> 00:28:15,956 butts beat, so be it the right 768 00:28:16,594 --> 00:28:18,462 thing to do now for this. 26 769 00:28:18,462 --> 00:28:20,665 27 budget is to do what's 770 00:28:20,665 --> 00:28:21,365 right by this. 26 27 budget. 771 00:28:21,365 --> 00:28:23,701 Just as we asked the sheriff 772 00:28:23,701 --> 00:28:27,901 to do. Just as we ask the 773 00:28:32,509 --> 00:28:34,678 clerk to do.
