Um 205 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,720 uh we also had the uh LAA uh state 206 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,279 appropriation uh that was not included 207 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:37,760 in last year's uh legislative session. 208 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,519 It had ongoing funding has been approved 209 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:42,480 in 2026, but for this fiscal year, we've 210 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,080 used some of the restricted reserves 211 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,320 that we had left over uh to fund that 212 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,870 program for this year. 213 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,720 Um, additional state funded technical 214 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,080 assistance, and this will be part of the 215 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,680 discussion that we'll have uh in the 216 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,560 operations portion of the uh small group 217 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:02,640 discussion. Um, additional state funded 218 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,760 technical assistance for this year 219 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,519 include the office of data privacy with 220 00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:08,080 the $50,000 grant uh to be used in the 221 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,080 first half of the year at our Q2 budget 222 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,000 report. We had concluded that. Um, so 223 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,760 the numbers are the same there. Um, 224 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,640 we've also received a two-year grant 225 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,000 from the Department of Workforce 226 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,040 Services uh to help with um subdivision 227 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,760 uh help and mapping in certain areas. 228 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,279 Um, we received $189,000 upfront to help 229 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,200 pay for that. Most of that grant will be 230 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,760 on a reimbursement bas basis. We've 231 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,200 budgeted in this year because we didn't 232 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,120 know how that would shake out the full 233 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,839 $700,000 of that grant. However, it's 234 00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:39,519 going they've allowed us to have it be a 235 00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:41,440 two-year grant. So, we won't see the 236 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,079 full $700,000 in revenue that will 237 00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:46,399 trickle out over the next uh two two 238 00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:49,440 three actual years. Um overall in our 239 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,399 expenditures, we are at 58.7% of the 240 00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:55,279 total budget with 75% of the year gone 241 00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:57,360 by. Um, another good comparison because 242 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,320 that uh $700,000 kind of throws us off 243 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,360 there. Um, we are 75% of the year has 244 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,160 gone by and we have spent 74.4% 245 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,720 of actual revenue taken in. So, we're on 246 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,279 pace right there. Uh, expenditures for 247 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,760 personnel services are just over half of 248 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,760 our core budget. Um, and so far has 249 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,399 spent uh 72.6% 250 00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,240 of that budget. And I'm sorry, that's a 251 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,839 typo. That should be uh 61% not 51%. 252 00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:27,279 You'll see that in the graph down here 253 00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:30,000 later. Um so it's closer to 2/3 of our 254 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,360 budget than half. Um operating program 255 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,480 expenses are uh just under 17% of our 256 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,519 budget and we have spent 61% of that this year. Events make up about a 257 00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:43,279 quarter of our budget and we spent just 258 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:46,560 under 70% in that category. grants and 259 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:48,959 special projects account for roughly 7% 260 00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,120 of our core budget and are just under a 261 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,920 quarter spent at the end of Q2. Uh one 262 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,519 of the projects that you will see later 263 00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:59,120 on in this meeting. Um we uh had not had 264 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,360 it's going to be about $82,000 worth of 265 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,720 spending, none of which had happened in 266 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,240 the first three quarters. So we do 267 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,240 expect that to catch up um eating away 268 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,760 at some of those reserves that we 269 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,079 budgeted for this year. 270 00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:11,839 Um and then finally, state funed 271 00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:14,320 technical assistance accounts for 19% of 272 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,480 the total budget, uh which is not in 273 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,600 this core budget that we've been 274 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,839 referencing before and are just over a 275 00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:21,600 quarter expended in the first half of 276 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,519 the year. 277 00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:25,760 So that concludes what our typical 278 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,079 budget reports have been for both Q1 and 279 00:12:28,079 --> 00:12:30,560 Q2 that we've given to you before. Now, 280 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:32,320 as we prepare in our next meeting, we're 281 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,079 going to be getting uh presenting to you 282 00:12:34,079 --> 00:12:35,839 a tenative budget and we'll enter into 283 00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:40,720 the full uh full on uh FY2027 budgeting 284 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,079 process. So, we wanted to give you just 285 00:12:42,079 --> 00:12:44,240 a little bit more context of what our 286 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,560 general and core budget looks like this 287 00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,160 year and what we'll be looking at going 288 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,760 forward. And we'll discuss a little more 289 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,880 of that in our small breakout groups. Um 290 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,680 below you have a snapshot of our core or 291 00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:58,240 excuse me, it is 51%. Uh my correction 292 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,760 earlier saying it was 61 was uh 293 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,680 incorrect. It is 51%. Um for personnel 294 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:05,600 services 295 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,000 uh in January you adopted dues rates 296 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,600 that would uh produce uh 2.782 297 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,040 million in dues revenue if we have 100% 298 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,399 membership uh and including the new uh 299 00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:21,200 newly incorporated communities. Um if 300 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,040 you were to apply that uh then we also 301 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,040 have this year's core budget uh revenue 302 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,639 and expenses. you can kind of get an 303 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:30,320 idea of what dues we um apply it on to 304 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,120 the previous year uh the 2027 dues if 305 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,800 you apply it to this year where kind of 306 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,200 like our discretionary uh amounts of 307 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,920 both revenue and expenditure are core 308 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,680 revenue 64% membership dues. Uh you have 309 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:46,880 a board um objective that says we need 310 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,320 to shoot for our dues to cover 95% of 311 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,800 our uh personnel and non-conference 312 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,040 operational expenses. And as you can see 313 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,440 here, you've got 64% uh coming from 314 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,600 membership dues. And then if you look at 315 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,880 personnel uh personnel expenses as well 316 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,880 as operations and engagement, that's 317 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,920 68%. That shakes out to be at it's 94 318 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,399 something%. So you're really on uh on 319 00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:14,079 for your goal right there. Um in event 320 00:14:14,079 --> 00:14:17,199 revenue, we see about 13% of our event 321 00:14:17,199 --> 00:14:19,120 revenue comes from uh what we're calling 322 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,639 corporate event revenue. So that 323 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:23,360 includes our sponsorship program and our 324 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,839 exhibitors uh with another 12% coming 325 00:14:25,839 --> 00:14:28,160 from registration fees. And look at that 326 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,480 25% of our expenditures are our event 327 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,480 expenditures. Um so those two are tied 328 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,839 there and that's why we have the colors 329 00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:37,360 kind of matching. 330 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,000 >> Um Nick and I just jumped in here real 331 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000 quick. 332 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,560 When Nick and I took over Nick as chief 333 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,079 financial officer and me as director, 334 00:14:48,079 --> 00:14:50,880 we did not have that symmetry in our 335 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,440 event revenue versus then we spent you 336 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,600 lost money. And it actually was the 337 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,199 board strategic session, one of the 338 00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:01,279 first ones we did where we had 339 00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:02,880 discussions with the board of what their 340 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,839 priorities were around conferences. And 341 00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:08,160 this is a simple illustration but an 342 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,880 important one. The board made it 343 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,519 abundantly clear that they did not want 344 00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:15,120 to spend the amount of money we've been 345 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,279 spending historically on entertainment 346 00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:22,079 at conferences. So we cut those really 347 00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:25,040 large big ticket items from conferences. 348 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,880 We also formalized sponsorship programs. 349 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,360 Katie hardly manages that for us and we 350 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,279 have more sponsors today than we've ever 351 00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:33,199 had. In fact, we have even more sponsors 352 00:15:33,199 --> 00:15:34,720 at this conference than we had six 353 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,399 months ago because she recruited a 354 00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:40,240 couple more sponsors and they'll pay a 355 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,839 higher rate than the exhibitors. They 356 00:15:41,839 --> 00:15:43,920 get different benefits, but she's done a 357 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,240 phenomenal job with that program. And so 358 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,959 now you can see we actually make more 359 00:15:48,959 --> 00:15:51,920 money off of sponsors and exhibitors in 360 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,360 our conferences than we do from the 361 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,560 registration fees. That's an important 362 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,240 thing to keep in mind when we get to our 363 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,480 small group discussion later because of 364 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,560 the uncertainty around the salt palace. 365 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,399 And what we need to do for the annual 366 00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:07,839 convention going forward is 367 00:16:07,839 --> 00:16:09,680 having an exhibit hall at both 368 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,399 conferences generates a lot of revenue. 369 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:13,600 That then has helped us keep 370 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,959 registration rates registration costs 371 00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:19,680 really flat for attendees while still 372 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,759 having 373 00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:26,639 600 or 596 as of Friday. 374 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:32,150 We process. 375 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,399 » Well, I'm hoping we get more people. 376 00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:35,600 >> I can look it up in the meantime. 377 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,880 >> We've only we've only got over 600 378 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,480 registrants for the midyear conference 379 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,680 once those two. So, gives you a sense of how successful the the conferences 380 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,440 have become. It's been a team effort to 381 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,040 get us there, but we wanted you to see 382 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,199 how these dollars fit together. Go 383 00:16:51,199 --> 00:16:54,079 ahead. 384 00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:56,880 >> Um, okay. Uh you can also see uh on the 385 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,519 graphs as Cam mentioned yes uh that is 386 00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:02,079 how our event revenue looks. Um 387 00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:04,559 revenue-wise you'll see a 1% is that 388 00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:06,799 indirect cost rate that we apply to 389 00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:09,360 state grants. So yes our state funed 390 00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:11,039 technical assistance is outside of our 391 00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:13,600 core budget except for the 10% of the 392 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,559 revenue that 10% charge on the revenue 393 00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:19,520 we collect from them helps fund our core 394 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,839 budget uh which ends up being 1% of our 395 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:25,360 core budget.

Um you should all be 432 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,640 familiar with this. We've done it a 433 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,120 number of times uh in in our meetings 434 00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,520 and you need to do it for your cities as 435 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,679 well.

Um, as you 443 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,799 can see, we rate we score a 375 out of 444 00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:42,720 395. That is in the very low level. Um, 445 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,240 this is uh unchanged as of last year. 446 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,720 Um, except in this basic separation of 447 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,919 duties portion. Um, I'm trying to see 448 00:19:51,919 --> 00:19:54,720 which one it is that we changed. Uh we 449 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,039 used to have a mitigating factor um on 450 00:19:57,039 --> 00:19:59,840 the access to blank checks um for some 451 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,919 reason. Uh but Cam does not have access 452 00:20:01,919 --> 00:20:03,280 to those and neither does Mayor Hales 453 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,640 who are signers. So we switched that 454 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,559 over to yes. But as far as the scoring 455 00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:11,440 goes unchanged as of um last year. So 456 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,679 Cam and I have both signed that and 457 00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:14,799 we're ready to go.

Um but one thing that we 668 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,960 really realized this session as we kept 669 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,039 having property tax discussions was it 670 00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:46,320 became very clear that there is not a 671 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,399 lot of understanding as to how property 672 00:29:48,399 --> 00:29:51,039 tax works in general. Um that's amongst 673 00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:52,720 the general public. It's amongst 674 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,480 legislators. It's amongst some of our 675 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,320 own, you know, municipal officials. And 676 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,279 so one thing we really realized this 677 00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:02,000 session is it almost doesn't matter what 678 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,279 policies uh the legislature imposes in a 679 00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:07,200 sense because if the if the public 680 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,000 doesn't understand what's happening the 681 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,399 inst isn't really going to be resolved 682 00:30:12,399 --> 00:30:15,840 with different procedures. And so what 683 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,600 we have implemented, we're doing um uh 684 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,399 10 minutes of kind of short video series 685 00:30:22,399 --> 00:30:24,559 targeted at the general public to 686 00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:26,559 educate them about about what property 687 00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:29,520 tax is, what it does, um specifically 688 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,600 with the lens of what it does through 689 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,559 municipal government. And so our goal is 690 00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:36,480 that we will get these to you and your 691 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,159 communities and you can share them with 692 00:30:38,159 --> 00:30:40,240 the public. And then if you're going 693 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,760 through truth and taxation or anything 694 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,399 like that, you can use this as a 695 00:30:44,399 --> 00:30:46,320 building block to tell your story. And 696 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,559 then hopefully people will understand 697 00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:51,039 what property tax is, why they pay it, 698 00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:53,039 how it's calculated, and so that when 699 00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:54,640 you go through truth and taxation or 700 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,200 your budget conversations, that baseline 701 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,039 understanding is there. So I think we 702 00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:01,760 wanted to show the third video as an 703 00:31:01,760 --> 00:32:46,950 example. 704 00:32:46,960 --> 00:33:10,630 Excellent. 705 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,240 Um, so yeah, we'll have a handful of 706 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,320 those videos going through just the 707 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,080 basics of property tax as well as truth 708 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,840 and taxation. Um, and then we're also 709 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,919 working with tax the tax commission on 710 00:33:19,919 --> 00:33:22,159 more resources specifically targeted for 711 00:33:22,159 --> 00:33:24,640 municipalities on property tax as well. 712 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,200 Um, so stuff for you all and then stuff 713 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,840 for your residents as well. And then I 714 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,840 think the final thing on the list is the 715 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,120 mitigation task force 716 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,080 correctly. Perfect. So HB596 during 717 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,519 session would have created a homeless 718 00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:44,159 shelter city mitigation task force to 719 00:33:44,159 --> 00:33:45,679 really dive into mitigation 720 00:33:45,679 --> 00:33:47,440 contributions and distributions and try 721 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,159 to come up with a better policy so that 722 00:33:50,159 --> 00:33:52,240 we didn't have to crack open the code 723 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,039 every few years and tweak things. Um 724 00:33:55,039 --> 00:33:57,600 that bill did not pass. However, we got 725 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,039 a lot of feedback from a lot of folks 726 00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:00,399 who felt like it was pretty important to 727 00:34:00,399 --> 00:34:04,320 do this. And so we will uh we would like 728 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,519 to run that task force with OS.

We expect 991 00:46:56,720 --> 00:47:00,240 a lot and there'll be some state 992 00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:02,240 politics about that and politics about 993 00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:05,040 that. We just in Friday facts this past 994 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,880 Friday 995 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,440 put a link to the updated checklist from 996 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,440 the tax commission that our team worked 997 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,839 handin glove with them on. So there was 998 00:47:13,839 --> 00:47:15,280 some frustration last year about the 999 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:16,960 checklist. So I want to thank the tax 1000 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,560 commission publicly. They worked very 1001 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,079 closely with us over the last few weeks 1002 00:47:20,079 --> 00:47:22,000 building out that checklist. And then we 1003 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,400 have some supplemental materials that 1004 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,480 Carrie and Frank Mcomero, Roger Tu and 1005 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,079 others on the staff have worked on for 1006 00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:31,680 the last few weeks. Alexa 1007 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,839 has has turned into a property tax 1008 00:47:33,839 --> 00:47:36,160 expert over the last few weeks as she's 1009 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:37,920 been proofreading every document that's 1010 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,359 been going back and forth to make sure 1011 00:47:39,359 --> 00:47:42,000 all the details are correct. Then we'll 1012 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,599 have this video series which is more for 1013 00:47:43,599 --> 00:47:45,680 the public and broader than if you're 1014 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,359 going through truth and taxation or not 1015 00:47:47,359 --> 00:47:49,119 because it's more about property taxing 1016 00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:50,400 channel. For those of you who are going 1017 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,240 through truth taxation, please use those 1018 00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:54,160 resources and please stay in touch with 1019 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:55,680 us as we go into that process this 1020 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,240 summer. With that, Jared, let's keep 1021 00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:00,960 talking about revenue and uh let's give 1022 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,430 an update on impact pieces. 1023 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,599 Uh let's see. I thought it was the 1024 00:48:09,599 --> 00:48:13,359 So, um, we occasionally, uh, the league 1025 00:48:13,359 --> 00:48:16,880 gets requests to participate in amicus, 1026 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,599 uh, which is a a brief in another case. 1027 00:48:21,599 --> 00:48:24,880 And, uh, as in the past, we've received 1028 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,000 some of those. In fact, I think the last 1029 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:33,760 two or three board meetings, uh, we've had requests come in. We have 1030 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,160 another request come in uh from Salt 1031 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,920 Lake City and this one uh deals with 1032 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,920 impact fees. The issue that is involved 1033 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,480 in the case is should a city that 1034 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,720 collects impact fee uh under one impact 1035 00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:53,680 fee facilities plan be able to spend 1036 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,720 those impact fees on system improvements 1037 00:48:56,720 --> 00:48:59,119 that were only identified in a later 1038 00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:03,119 adopted impact fee facilities plan. 1039 00:49:03,119 --> 00:49:07,839 um that is the issue. Um 1040 00:49:07,839 --> 00:49:11,839 I I won't get into the the the uh case 1041 00:49:11,839 --> 00:49:13,839 and and all of that. We have provided 1042 00:49:13,839 --> 00:49:17,440 you with those documents um in the board 1043 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:22,319 agenda and uh it it is a lot of pages. 1044 00:49:22,319 --> 00:49:25,680 So I won't go into that. that there one 1045 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,079 thing that you as a board need to 1046 00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:30,960 consider in whether or not to 1047 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,760 participate in this amicus brief and 1048 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,559 that may be just signing on to an amicus 1049 00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:40,079 brief. It may be uh intervening as a 1050 00:49:40,079 --> 00:49:43,440 party. It could be a number of things, 1051 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,400 but what the board needs to consider in 1052 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:51,760 each amicus uh request that comes in is 1053 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:56,480 various factors which include uh how 1054 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,760 broad and widespread this issue is and 1055 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,240 whether it affects or will affect all 1056 00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:05,839 cities or most cities or is it just an 1057 00:50:05,839 --> 00:50:08,640 isolated issue. uh the uniqueness of the 1058 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,559 issue um the likelihood that the 1059 00:50:12,559 --> 00:50:15,040 league's position uh would be supported 1060 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:20,640 by uh the court uh bandwidth of that's 1061 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,440 being provided uh the facts of the case 1062 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,680 those types of things um and so we have 1063 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:32,559 provided those uh materials for you and 1064 00:50:32,559 --> 00:50:34,720 uh I don't think that we're we're 1065 00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:37,359 expecting any sort of decision decision 1066 00:50:37,359 --> 00:50:42,000 today. But this gives you an a 1067 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,480 to be able to move forward uh be able to 1068 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,240 read this, go through this and decide as 1069 00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:51,200 a board whether to either move forward 1070 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,200 with this amicus or choose to uh not 1071 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,559 move forward with it. 1072 00:50:56,559 --> 00:51:02,069 >> We have to make that decision. Yes, 1073 00:51:02,079 --> 00:51:03,920 » we have to make the decision to make 1074 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,400 because the uh the brief is due in June. 1075 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:15,589 So 1076 00:51:15,599 --> 00:51:19,839 » yes, so the the question is what is the 1077 00:51:19,839 --> 00:51:22,880 cost impact to the league? And right now 1078 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,440 we have been told that uh that UAC as 1079 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,960 well as a few other entities uh will 1080 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:35,119 likely be drafting an amicus brief that 1081 00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:38,160 the league could choose to sign on to. 1082 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,040 uh like we did with the last uh amicus 1083 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,680 request that came in, we merely just had 1084 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,880 a paragraph that said we agree. 1085 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,800 It's more complicated, but essentially 1086 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:53,119 that we agree and uh signing it. So, it 1087 00:51:53,119 --> 00:51:54,960 could be as simple as that. It could 1088 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,559 also be a little bit more where the 1089 00:51:58,559 --> 00:52:01,599 league staff or another attorney that we 1090 00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:05,040 go out and uh througha 1091 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,599 uh we solicit those 1092 00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:11,680 drafting of the DM because so it could 1093 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,760 be nothing and it could be a lot more 1094 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,280 depending on what we do and how we 1095 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,119 whether we just sign on to the amus 1096 00:52:21,119 --> 00:52:24,800 brief or whether we want to draft the 1097 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,640 brief 1098 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:32,710 um and have attorneys draft the brief 1099 00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:36,240 » yes since it's already being drafted 1100 00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:39,760 uh by by UAC and others. My 1101 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,240 recommendation would be just to sign on 1102 00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:46,400 to that amicus brief. 1103 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,800 Now, that being said, I don't know what 1104 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,040 is in that amicus brief and what their 1105 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,880 position will be. So, um, we will know 1106 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,559 that, uh, I don't know when we'll know 1107 00:52:58,559 --> 00:53:01,839 that, um, when that amicus brief will 1108 00:53:01,839 --> 00:53:05,200 get done and that she'll have access to 1109 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,119 that. Um, 1110 00:53:09,119 --> 00:53:11,760 what we need today is, yeah, to start 1111 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,280 the official process um, and get those 1112 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,559 documents to you. 1113 00:53:18,559 --> 00:53:21,280 >> Any additional questions? 1114 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:22,720 >> Additional point. So thank you very much 1115 00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:25,440 for bringing this up. Of course uh you 1116 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,599 know so much cities one in front but 1117 00:53:29,599 --> 00:53:32,400 this infecties affects us all across the 1118 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,720 board and be any one of us being in our 1119 00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:38,559 position at the same time and be 1120 00:53:38,559 --> 00:53:41,599 supported here at the same time so 1121 00:53:41,599 --> 00:53:44,710 broadly 1122 00:53:44,720 --> 00:53:49,430 can't change because of things. 1123 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,680 » I think uh the position you outlined is 1124 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,760 a good one. I think having the 1125 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,319 possibility to sign it on is is good and perhaps the easiest approach. I 1126 00:53:58,319 --> 00:53:59,680 don't mean that in a negative way, but 1127 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,079 like if somebody drafts one, we like it. 1128 00:54:02,079 --> 00:54:03,599 I think signing our name to us is is 1129 00:54:03,599 --> 00:54:05,839 certainly an easy way to do it and makes 1130 00:54:05,839 --> 00:54:08,240 perfect sense. I think it is it's 1131 00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:10,960 probably wise for us to consider 1132 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:12,640 something more. And I don't know what 1133 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,800 that is yet. I think it would be wise to 1134 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,760 see what is said, read it and see if it 1135 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:22,480 goes the direction or as far enough or 1136 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,640 down the direction we want to go or if 1137 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,599 there's an additional 1138 00:54:27,599 --> 00:54:29,440 angle that we could take. This actually 1139 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:33,920 is a very important issue and uh it it 1140 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,520 is 1141 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,359 in fact these are extremely important 1142 00:54:37,359 --> 00:54:40,160 for the development of all of the 1143 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:44,000 utility operations of our cities and uh 1144 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,359 to lose the ability to be I think nimble 1145 00:54:47,359 --> 00:54:49,280 and 1146 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,040 updating of our impact fees 1147 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,280 contradicts the value of impact fees. We 1148 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,920 need to update these things. So I think 1149 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,079 this is a good approach and I think this 1150 00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:02,880 is perhaps maybe just the starting point 1151 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,880 that that maybe there's another step we 1152 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:06,800 need to take and we need to be open to 1153 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:12,549 that depending on how that comes. 1154 00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:15,359 » I I just unless there's anything that's 1155 00:55:15,359 --> 00:55:17,599 a substantive change based on what we've 1156 00:55:17,599 --> 00:55:28,710 read to a 1157 00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:32,079 I got on this case.

No, the there is a there's an 1217 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,880 audit being done right now by the office 1218 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:08,880 of the office of legislative auditor 1219 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,359 general. Uh now this is important. The 1220 00:58:11,359 --> 00:58:12,960 office of legislative auditor general is 1221 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,119 different than the state auditor. Um 1222 00:58:15,119 --> 00:58:16,799 these ones these auditors work for the 1223 00:58:16,799 --> 00:58:19,040 legislature. Uh they've done a lot of 1224 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:20,400 audits over the past few years. We've 1225 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,319 worked with them on a few audits. Uh 1226 00:58:22,319 --> 00:58:24,079 audits around housing, around water 1227 00:58:24,079 --> 00:58:25,680 transactions, 1228 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:29,040 things. Um the the less safe auditors 1229 00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,960 are generally very fair in their audits. 1230 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:32,640 They they work with us closely. They 1231 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,880 take feedback from us. They reach out to 1232 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:36,880 cities in a good way. Um and they find 1233 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:38,240 things that we don't always agree with 1234 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:39,680 and they they may find it that we don't 1235 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,440 necessarily agree with, but they they do 1236 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:42,880 a fair job and they do a good job 1237 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,799 looking at things. We had some meetings 1238 00:58:44,799 --> 00:58:46,559 with them during the session to start 1239 00:58:46,559 --> 00:58:49,040 out uh this audit, but they're going to 1240 00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:50,480 be looking at impact fees throughout the 1241 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,079 year and they're going to look at how 1242 00:58:52,079 --> 00:58:53,920 they're used uh which means they'll be 1243 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:55,760 reaching out to cities at some point. Uh 1244 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,280 when we asked a question to the city 1245 00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,440 managers earlier today, no one's hand in 1246 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:00,880 the room went up yet that they've been 1247 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,720 reached out to. Uh but we know they are 1248 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:03,920 going to be reaching out to cities and 1249 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,520 finding out how impact fees are being 1250 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,920 used. So between the court case uh 1251 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,079 between the audit there are there are 1252 00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:11,680 going to be many moving pieces with 1253 00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,400 impact fees over this next year and no 1254 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,240 question that whatever comes out of the 1255 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,240 court case and whatever comes out of the 1256 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,480 audit there will be recommendations made 1257 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,160 that the legislature will try to tackle 1258 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:27,280 and make some changes on. So this is not just a one-off should we 1259 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,000 weigh in on um you know on a court case. 1260 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:31,520 It's not just a one-off on the audit. 1261 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:32,799 This is going to be a larger 1262 00:59:32,799 --> 00:59:34,960 conversation. uh the legislators are 1263 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:36,799 going to want to tackle. We had uh at 1264 00:59:36,799 --> 00:59:38,160 least three I can't think more than 1265 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:39,200 that, but three different pieces of 1266 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,040 legislation dealing with impact fees. 1267 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:44,000 This last session, uh we were able to um 1268 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,319 get them all either bumped to next year 1269 00:59:46,319 --> 00:59:48,880 uh with the with the um idea that we 1270 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,640 work with legislators on the with them 1271 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,799 during the interim or they just they 1272 00:59:52,799 --> 00:59:56,960 kind of died in their own weight. But it is something on legislator's minds 1273 00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,720 obviously something on on developers 1274 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,400 minds as we have court cases and 1275 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,760 legislative auditors looking at it now 1276 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:02,880 as well. So that was more than 30 1277 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:04,480 seconds on all that, but just want to 1278 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,799 create a bigger picture here that this 1279 01:00:06,799 --> 01:00:08,720 is not a subject that's going to go 1280 01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,480 quietly into the night. This is 1281 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:11,440 something that we're going to have to 1282 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,520 spend some time on and we'll almost 1283 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:14,960 certainly have some battles on next 1284 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:15,839 session. 1285 01:00:15,839 --> 01:00:17,440 >> The good news is the legislator will 1286 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:18,880 make 1287 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,559 >> everyday time. 1288 01:00:20,559 --> 01:00:25,680 >> But do we only have 24 hours to review 1289 01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:30,230 or start something on our own? 1290 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,760 What would it need to 1291 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:41,750 your time? 1292 01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:48,150 » Great question. I think that uh 1293 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,880 I think that it would be a fairly short 1294 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:57,839 amicus brief on our end. um the uh 1295 01:00:57,839 --> 01:01:00,319 that's what I would anticipate and so 1296 01:01:00,319 --> 01:01:03,040 the legal fees and the the the staff 1297 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,920 time would be 1298 01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:10,240 somewhat considerable but I would uh 1299 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,480 feel a lot more comfortable for someone 1300 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,960 that writes amicus briefs on a regular 1301 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:18,240 basis or uh is involved in a pellet 1302 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:22,079 procedure to do that.

That means 1306 01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:35,280 significant cost.
