[8:13] year. So this is 12,000 per year.
[8:18] If the payments, we don't know what the financing is going to be.
[8:24] Okay. So.
[8:27] Okay.
[8:30] Historically, they've been about 700
[8:33] monthly.

[13:24] fifteen hundred dollars. The palette has
[13:27] 40. No, excuse me, about 30 packs of
[13:31] asphalt on it.
[13:33] Okay. And we're supposed to be
[13:33] Okay. And we're supposed to be
[13:37] starting construction on one of our
[13:40] roads.
[13:43] I think, in next month, month or so. So which

[14:04] correction. So what are
[14:07] the, which roads are budgeted for the
[14:11] seven thousand dollars.
[14:14] Maintenance repair? There's no road budgeted. There's no specific
[14:19] road set aside. So how did we come up with seven
[14:22] thousand dollars if there's no specific roads that we're
[14:22] thousand dollars if there's no specific roads that we're
[14:26] budgeting material for? I mean, how do we
[14:30] know that we're going to need seven thousand dollars
[14:33] for
[14:36] Rose repair one? We don't know which road that that need these
[14:40] repair. It is a historical basis that we are
[14:44] presenting these numbers.
[14:46] Unfortunately, I'm unable to tell you which
[14:46] Unfortunately, I'm unable to tell you which
[14:49] holes, which potholes, where potholes are going to come or
[14:52] which street a pothole is going to be found on.
[14:56] In the future. Okay. Thank you. That's another item
[14:59] that, that is questionable that
[14:59] that, that is questionable that
[15:02] I, before we go to the questionable piece of it, I, I
[15:06] have to ask, are you.
[15:10] Looking for.
[15:13] City manager to present.
[15:15] Where we may have a pothole.
[15:19] Because I'm unable to provide that information.
[15:22] Regarding which street we're going to fill a pothole on.
[15:22] Regarding which street we're going to fill a pothole on.
[15:26] Okay, so, so how, how do you
[15:30] say it historically.
[15:33] Is how the $7,000 came up.
[15:33] Is how the $7,000 came up.
[15:39] To this, this amount.
[15:49] Yes. Okay.
[15:51] Thank you.
[15:56] Okay, now I've got gas and oil.
[16:01] Estimate use of oil and gas.
[16:04] For all public work Autos plus usage of
[16:07] lawnmowers, bike holes. How often do we use
[16:11] the back hole in public works?
[16:11] the back hole in public works?
[16:16] We don't, we don't have a backhoe in public. So you're just talking
[16:20] tractor. This is what
[16:24] it's saying. Included in this cost. It says
[16:27] estimate use of oil and gas for
[16:31] all public work with PW Autos plus the
[16:34] usage of lawn mowers. Bike hole
[16:34] usage of lawn mowers. Bike hole
[16:38] and other public works equipment using
[16:41] prior information and monthly average. Of
[16:45] 650. So it's here
[16:45] 650. So it's here
[16:49] in this budgeted item, a byte
[16:53] code. Yes. And, and, excuse me, commission. We can remove that,
[16:56] mayor. That's, that, that Calvin has said that. That's information
[17:00] that just sits there by the back hole.
[17:05] Okay, I'm just trying to get some
[17:08] clarification of the.
[17:12] Twenty twenty thousand dollars. So you're saying it's.
[17:19] Yeah, five lawnmowers. Five, five lawnmowers. Yes.
[17:23] And we're, and we budgeted for two more.
[17:23] And we're, and we budgeted for two more.
[17:26] Yes. Okay.
[17:29] How much
[17:31] vehicle.
[17:33] Gas is budgeted within this twenty thousand dollars?
[17:33] Gas is budgeted within this twenty thousand dollars?
[17:40] Mr. Mass, you have that information? That's deep broken down in that fashion.
[17:46] Or vehicle.
[17:50] Sometimes they're using for. The lawnmower
[17:54] also. It's very difficult to keep track of some of the.
[18:00] It's difficult to keep track of what now.
[18:04] It's difficult to keep track. Well, it's not even difficult, let me answer in this
[18:07] fashion. We're able to, we're not
[18:11] tracking if it's lawnmower
[18:11] tracking if it's lawnmower
[18:15] or.
[18:17] In this budget and present it to the commission.
[18:21] All of that is itemized on your monthly
[18:23] statements, your bi-weekly statements that the commission
[18:23] statements, your bi-weekly statements that the commission
[18:27] receive as your accounts payable report. So if you look at your
[18:30] Marathon bill that sent out to the commission every month or
[18:34] every, every other week, it shows where the
[18:34] every, every other week, it shows where the
[18:38] public works, where all the departments fuel
[18:40] usage, very itemized, and to be some, it become
[18:44] very granular. In the budget. We're able to look at an
[18:47] overall number and say what that cost is on
[18:47] overall number and say what that cost is on
[18:51] an annual basis, not granule. That's to
[18:54] the question that's being asked. Okay, Mr. Mr. Manager, I, I
[18:57] do recall the marathon
[18:57] do recall the marathon
[19:02] fuel bill, and it doesn't specify
[19:06] if it's lawnmower. Or if it's vehicle. It just
[19:09] says, go ahead.
[19:14] Except for the public work department, other
[19:17] department, you are able to trace it.
[19:20] Each vehicle, how much per month the gas must be
[19:23] used, ma'am? But on the public work department
[19:23] used, ma'am? But on the public work department
[19:28] is. Because of the using the same
[19:31] vehicle, gas. And for the
[19:34] lawnmower, sometimes.
[19:37] We.
[19:39] More time consuming to calculate it how much they use for learn
[19:42] more, basically. So, so you're saying it,
[19:46] it's time consuming to
[19:46] it's time consuming to
[19:49] actually, let me finish. Let me, let me, can I finish?
[19:54] He just said it. Consume. He did not
[19:58] say time consuming. Okay. Okay.
[20:00] It is granule. And the way that we use
[20:04] our, the fuel card, there's no fuel card
[20:08] set aside for the weed eater. There's no very
[20:12] delineated fuel card set aside for the
[20:15] lawnmower. That is what Mr. Massey is saying.
[20:18] Okay. So while we on that, I would like to
[20:22] note that, that, that may be something
[20:22] note that, that, that may be something
[20:26] that we need to do in the future where we can separate.
[20:31] The fuel from the vehicles
[20:35] and the equipment so that we can know how
[20:35] and the equipment so that we can know how
[20:39] the tax dollars are being spent, spent in
[20:43] fuel. Because if, if you looking at
[20:46] twenty thousand dollars in fuel, you know, the first thing is say,
[20:46] twenty thousand dollars in fuel, you know, the first thing is say,
[20:50] oh, you know, that's a lot of fuel
[20:53] that's been for public
[20:56] work. It's, this is going to be the issue. But for the
[20:59] other department, we have a, you are able to trace it
[20:59] other department, we have a, you are able to trace it
[21:03] exactly. Each vehicle, how much per month
[21:07] the week gas was produced. Okay, I understand it.
[21:12] Thank you.
[21:17] Okay.
[21:20] Our next item is 552100. Are we still in public
[21:23] works? Yeah, we're still in public
[21:23] works? Yeah, we're still in public
[21:26] under code 552100.

[21:40] And maintenance performance. By public works.
[21:44] Employees. That's six thousand dollars.
[21:49] And this is all of the.
[21:52] Tools
[21:56] and, and rental. What, what rental
[22:00] equipment are we or we are renting?
[22:03] It varies. There's no one particular
[22:05] piece. Let's say if we have to go, we have to fix
[22:09] something, a window here at City Hall. You have to rent a
[22:09] something, a window here at City Hall. You have to rent a
[22:13] lift machine. If we're installing
[22:17] as part of our maintenance agreement with Florida
[22:20] Department of Transportation along U.S. highway 27, if we have to repair
[22:20] Department of Transportation along U.S. highway 27, if we have to repair
[22:24] any of those bulbs
[22:27] or get anything of that height, cut a tree
[22:31] and rent any saw and
[22:32] equipment, those are the things that we would have to
[22:32] equipment, those are the things that we would have to
[22:36] rent as part of public works. Okay. When
[22:40] was the last time we had to rent?
[22:42] Those types of equipment last year? Last year?
[22:47] 2025.
[22:50] Yes. 20. So 2026, we, we
[22:53] wasn't renting. We had, we hadn't rent
[22:57] anything. So let me correct that. You're being, you're talking calendar year. I'm
[22:57] anything. So let me correct that. You're being, you're talking calendar year. I'm
[23:00] speaking
[23:02] 25, 26 budget year. So if you look

[34:23] I have had the opportunity to review this entire
[34:23] I have had the opportunity to review this entire
[34:26] budget. And if I had question, I took out the time to go in and talk to the
[34:30] city manager about them. He made sure that he clarify everything to
[34:33] me in reference to the budget, whatever line out I had a problem with, had question in
[34:33] me in reference to the budget, whatever line out I had a problem with, had question in
[34:37] in reference to it. He was able to explain it to me.
[34:41] Tonight. I feel that, you know, we had ample amount of time. We had, we
[34:44] had question of reference to different line items. And I think that if we would
[34:44] had question of reference to different line items. And I think that if we would
[34:48] have taken out the time to go and sit down and talk to our city manager, if we had the time
[34:51] to talk to our city manager about different line items, he would be able to
[34:55] have the answer for all of the questions that was asked
[34:58] tonight. And I do apologize. It didn't happen that
[34:58] tonight. And I do apologize. It didn't happen that
[35:01] way. But the thing about it moving
[35:03] forward, I want to make sure that we do that. Take out the
[35:06] times. We have a question about a certain line item. We take out a time
[35:10] for the city manager to finance director. Why this and why this
[35:10] for the city manager to finance director. Why this and why this
[35:13] was added to your different line items, I think it'll make a huge difference
[35:17] and you will have all the answers and you have the information and present in front of you
[35:21] as well. I just want to thank this commission tonight as
[35:21] as well. I just want to thank this commission tonight as
[35:24] well. Mr. Mayor, any more questions? Yes, Mr.
[35:27] Mayor commissioner Keith, as you
[35:29] stated, you said that you had the time
[35:33] and you took the time out
[35:37] and went and spoke with the city manager and got your question
[35:41] asked. Yes.
[35:43] Maybe I didn't have the time. And this was the time that was
[35:46] available, available for me. To
[35:46] available, available for me. To
[35:50] ask my question. I do have that right to
[35:53] have questions because I feel like that you
[35:56] indirectly. No, I'm just, I'm telling you how I feel
[36:00] that you end directly came at me with
[36:03] that comment.
[36:05] You know, I feel that that was unnecessary. You know, like I
[36:08] said, you stated that you had you
[36:12] had the time. To go
[36:16] and sit and ask those questions and being that I was
[36:19] the only one that was asking questions that comment was
[36:23] directly, indirectly towards me.
[36:23] directly, indirectly towards me.
[36:26] So to say that I didn't have the
[36:29] time. So there was the, this is what the time that I
[36:32] had available to ask those questions
[36:36] because I have that right. This is what this meeting
[36:38] for. You know, I can't just
[36:42] say okay or nay for something
[36:46] that I need questions for. Thank
[36:46] that I need questions for. Thank
[36:48] you, Mr. C directing to Norton, no
[36:52] commissioner here at all. I said, we take, I said, we take out the time. That's
[36:55] what I said. I didn't prefer it to
[36:58] you. Neither one of these commission steps up on these deals. I
[36:58] you. Neither one of these commission steps up on these deals. I
[37:01] said, we take out the time to talk to our manager and ask a different question
[37:05] there. And the reason I say it that because due to the fact that you would ask them for numbers
[37:08] there and he didn't have the numbers in front of him, that's what was coming
[37:08] there and he didn't have the numbers in front of him, that's what was coming
[37:12] from. Hypothetical, if you would have, if you
[37:16] had the time, I think you would have had all the, the numbers that you needed
[37:19] and the reason that those numbers implemented or put in this particular budget
[37:24] were directly at you. I do not do that. I don't believe in that. I treat
[37:24] were directly at you. I do not do that. I don't believe in that. I treat
[37:27] each and every one of the commissions the same there. You know, I don't have no favorite
[37:31] commissions up here. I have talked to the city manager. I talked to the
[37:34] commissioner as well. Talking to the commissioner, I just, I need to clarify
[37:34] commissioner as well. Talking to the commissioner, I just, I need to clarify
[37:38] this tonight. Because if I offended you and you felt that I was
[37:42] point directly at you, you're wrong. You're mistaken. I
[37:45] wasn't, none whatsoever. And I would never do that because I don't believe
[37:45] wasn't, none whatsoever. And I would never do that because I don't believe
[37:49] in throwing rocks and hide in my hand. I don't do that there. If I have something
[37:52] that said to you, I said directly to you and still move on. No
[37:56] hatred, no bias or nothing to worry, no one, regardless of
[37:59] race, color, creed, all religion. I do not do that there
[37:59] race, color, creed, all religion. I do not do that there
[38:03] none whatsoever. So I want to make sure that it's very clear tonight. No, it
[38:06] wasn't aiming at you at all. None whatsoever. I just said that I
[38:10] took at the time to meet with the city manager to get my answers
[38:10] took at the time to meet with the city manager to get my answers
[38:14] taken, get my answer. And my question
[38:18] answer by the city manager. And that's the reason I said that tonight.
[38:22] But it wasn't that. We're naming directly. It wasn't naming, nothing name in that Jew. If
[38:22] But it wasn't that. We're naming directly. It wasn't naming, nothing name in that Jew. If
[38:26] I offended you any type of way, I do apologize.
[38:29] Right. We'll continue. And in additional question at this present
