And we have one person signed up to speak.

24
00:17:49,620 --> 00:17:50,920
Miss Alicia Rosales.

25
00:17:51,740 --> 00:17:52,240
You're up.

26
00:17:56,610 --> 00:17:57,270
Good evening.

27
00:17:57,530 --> 00:17:59,050
Alicia Rosales, 1215.

28
00:17:59,050 --> 00:18:00,370
County Road, 213.

29
00:18:00,630 --> 00:18:01,350
Venus, Texas.

30
00:18:01,350 --> 00:18:10,170
I know you can't answer me, but I just have a couple of rhetorical questions about what's

31
00:18:10,170 --> 00:18:15,010
on your budget because in a few weeks I'll be making decisions about budgets too.

32
00:18:15,930 --> 00:18:21,490
So I just need clarification, especially since some of your line-on-ones are similar

33
00:18:21,490 --> 00:18:26,190
to what's on the public works budget.

34
00:18:26,190 --> 00:18:42,710
So the transfer out of 223,730 dollars, then there's an acronym, DSF, what is that exactly for?

35
00:18:43,910 --> 00:18:52,590
And then what was decided on the park improvements of $100,000, have you all decided on that?

36
00:18:52,590 --> 00:19:04,390
and then what is the line item for $10,275,000 for city contracted for admin?

37
00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:10,490
Just those three questions. $10,000 item for city contracted services for admin

38
00:19:10,490 --> 00:19:17,350
and then what we're going to do for park improvements if you have that idea and then the transfer.

39
00:19:18,030 --> 00:19:18,370
Thank you.

40
00:19:20,510 --> 00:19:21,590
Thank you, ma'am.

41
00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:27,210
Awesome. Thank you. Thank you for y'all's awesome work on the budget. No, it did amazing. Thank you.

42
00:19:30,590 --> 00:19:42,070
Okay, Adam 3. 3.1 is the approval of the meeting, meeting minutes of the special call meeting on August the 18th.

43
00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:49,490
If you had the opportunity to look over those, see any corrections, changes, comments.

44
00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:49,910
If

45
00:19:54,300 --> 00:20:00,020
not, the floor is open for a motion to approve or disapprove those minutes.

46
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:09,540
I make a motion. We approve the minutes of the special call meeting on August 18, 2026.

47
00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:16,880
I'll second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion?

48
00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:24,730
All in favor of the motion? Please raise your hand. All in favor? None opposed? Motion carried.

49
00:20:24,730 --> 00:20:25,790
item

50
00:20:32,450 --> 00:20:40,590
4.1 is discussed and consider the approval of the physical year 26 27

51
00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:46,670
annual budget. We've spent numerous hours on this.

52
00:20:49,870 --> 00:20:52,790
Just walk to remind everyone

53
00:20:52,790 --> 00:21:03,130
that there are some major items that Oscar has been working on, such as the major

54
00:21:03,130 --> 00:21:10,790
improvements to field of park, the shade structures, the rubber malls and everything that are

55
00:21:10,790 --> 00:21:16,870
not in this budget, that they will have to be a budget amendment if and when we do that.

56
00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:24,870
So, but we are presenting a balanced budget, this will go to the council for their approval.

57
00:21:27,050 --> 00:21:28,530
Oscar, what you got?

58
00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:32,010
Hi, I would even in ADC board members and public attendance.

59
00:21:32,790 --> 00:21:40,030
So, like Mr. Russell, the chair mentioned, we have this budget with the workshop last time that we did a special committee.

60
00:21:42,550 --> 00:21:46,670
It's been balanced now, but if you have any questions, let me know.

61
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:05,160
Since the person that spoke at the beginning have three questions for us, can you refresh

62
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:12,640
our memory with that 10,275 for city contracted services again and explain the transfer out

63
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,420
just one more time?

64
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:14,240
Yes.

65
00:22:15,220 --> 00:22:19,280
So, let me see the 10,000, sorry, can you remember it?

66
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,000
What item is that?

67
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:20,420
What number?

68
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:20,720
Sorry.

69
00:22:26,970 --> 00:22:36,590
The park improvement we had adjusted the budget to the 100,000 from the 180 just in eights to help balance our budget.

70
00:22:37,250 --> 00:22:43,670
So I kind of understand the park improvement that's the budget, but the 10,275 for city contracted services.

71
00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:49,590
We left that the same and I know in our special meeting you guys elaborated what that was.

72
00:22:49,750 --> 00:22:50,550
Can you refresh my memory?

73
00:22:50,550 --> 00:22:58,950
Yes, CD contracted services or CD contracted and we traded costs because that's ten thousand two hundred and seventy

74
00:23:00,470 --> 00:23:07,130
If you see if the item that it says CD contracted and we stray the cost that's far of the

75
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:11,290
Administrative cost from you know paying

76
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:19,430
Salaries and things from other departments, but like our parks workers and things like that what we pay part of that

77
00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:22,170
No. Chair, if I may.

78
00:23:23,630 --> 00:23:32,970
That one, Adam, that was asked about that is for the city secretary, the finance director

79
00:23:32,970 --> 00:23:37,150
and the finance assistance time that we spend on the board through the year.

80
00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:44,810
And the transfer in and out, I'm sorry you didn't even get it.

81
00:23:44,850 --> 00:23:49,970
Yeah, the transfer in and out is money that was moved from the general fund to balance

82
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:50,510
the budget.

83
00:23:50,510 --> 00:23:59,380
and chair if I may on that that is also the salary of the one full-time parts

84
00:23:59,380 --> 00:24:07,600
person half of the other person and everything that goes into the salary for

85
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,700
that that is also in the bond debt and us payment comes out of that as well

86
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:21,710
your transfer in and out those salaries are not paid directly from the 4B it's

87
00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:31,450
They go through the city who does all of the workers comp, the retirement and everything.

88
00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:39,570
So it is a money transfer from the 4B funds into the city, then the city disperses those

89
00:24:40,090 --> 00:24:44,110
out to the employees and to the various places that they go.

90
00:24:49,340 --> 00:24:51,400
Do we have an itemization of that number?

91
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:59,340
I understand what it's used for but do we have a like a breakdown of or do we strictly just

92
00:24:59,340 --> 00:25:04,020
agree to that dollar amount and they transferred into another general fund and then they use it accordingly?

93
00:25:04,780 --> 00:25:06,120
Does that make sense? What am I saying?

94
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,140
It does.

95
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:08,780
Yes.

96
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:12,500
We do have a breakdown.

97
00:25:12,620 --> 00:25:14,920
I just do not have it with me.

98
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:16,160
Let me see if I have it.

99
00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:17,560
I don't know if I have it with me.

100
00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:19,970
No.

101
00:25:19,970 --> 00:25:31,440
But that transfer out is part of what the City Council uses to balance their budget to run no okay no these budget

102
00:25:33,970 --> 00:25:36,350
Just know the four B funds

103
00:25:37,530 --> 00:25:40,070
The city cannot use them

104
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:46,740
Kelly one thing

105
00:25:46,740 --> 00:25:58,680
That I would ask if possible I know that the city at one time I guess they still do as a monthly check register

106
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:06,940
Is that possible for the forbreath to get that I'm going to say yes because usually on

107
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:11,440
else consent agenda in the past you would have the approval of your

108
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:18,320
financials I'm not finance I don't know that report and when it falls on when

109
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,020
they run that I don't know if it's like a monthly that could be present but I

110
00:26:22,020 --> 00:26:26,360
definitely will check on that and I will get you an answer if it can be every

111
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:31,800
meeting, if it's a quarterly thing, but yes, so you all can have your financials.

112
00:26:32,540 --> 00:26:37,160
And that would give everybody an up-to-date on what for-be-fonds and have been spent

113
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,160
for the month through the quarter or something?

114
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:40,780
I would like that.

115
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,480
I think since we're especially since we're really trying to be very proactive on how we're

116
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,400
spending our money, the more knowledge that we have on each one is spent as best.

117
00:26:56,420 --> 00:26:57,120
So what else do you have?

118
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:03,680
I think those were the three questions that the person from the public asked.

119
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:06,000
I don't know if you have any other questions.

120
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:18,300
In keeping everybody informed, you guys have expressed an interest in having some training.

121
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:25,760
I have been in contact with someone and Oscar has also been in contact with that person.

122
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:33,040
so we're in the process of trying to set up some in-house training so we

123
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,700
should have something by the next meeting date so we can do that.

124
00:27:43,790 --> 00:27:44,210
Anything

125
00:27:44,210 --> 00:27:46,490
else? Any other questions?

126
00:27:48,980 --> 00:27:52,260
The passing of the budget is the only item on the

127
00:27:52,260 --> 00:28:01,940
agenda but if anyone needs any more information for our next meeting please get a

128
00:28:01,940 --> 00:28:10,340
Oscar and have me and have that put on there and we will one of the items that is likely

129
00:28:10,340 --> 00:28:21,320
to be on the next month's agenda is the bids for improvements at Shana Park and Field

130
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:26,340
of Park. The rubber mulch and the shades, you know, Oscar has been working on that.

131
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:31,920
It's

132
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:38,640
and there may be some other items that were working on that will be on that agenda also.

133
00:28:41,550 --> 00:28:47,730
Also, I know the last meeting we gave you a lot of once and I was just wondering if maybe by the next meeting

134
00:28:47,730 --> 00:28:51,750
you could give us a brief update if you've been able to locate any possible grants

135
00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:57,130
that we might be able to apply for to improve our parks in our community.

136
00:28:58,850 --> 00:29:00,130
Yes, thank you.

137
00:29:03,650 --> 00:29:06,410
Kelly, do you have anything that we need to know about?

138
00:29:07,710 --> 00:29:08,530
No, sir.

139
00:29:09,030 --> 00:29:09,130
No.

140
00:29:19,260 --> 00:29:19,920
Can I get a front?

141
00:29:23,620 --> 00:29:31,740
Item 4.1, discuss and consider the approval of the fiscal year 2026, 2027 annual budget.

142
00:29:33,620 --> 00:29:38,800
So do we have a motion to approve or disapprove as presented?

143
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:47,440
Excuse me. I'll make a motion that we approve the fiscal year 2627 annual budget as presented.

144
00:29:49,060 --> 00:29:50,160
Okay. We have a motion.

145
00:29:50,180 --> 00:29:50,860
I second it.

146
00:29:51,420 --> 00:29:51,980
And a second.

147
00:29:53,060 --> 00:29:54,560
Last chance for discussion.

148
00:29:58,470 --> 00:29:59,970
All in favor, please raise your hand.

149
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:03,580
All in favor, none opposed, motion carried.

150
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:11,280
Okay. That is everything that is on the agenda item

151
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:19,380
for tonight. So is anybody have anything that they know over at now that you would want

152
00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:20,960
to put on next month's agenda?

153
00:30:28,330 --> 00:30:36,530
Okay. Okay. If not, I will adjourn this meeting at 6.45.

154
00:30:37,970 --> 00:30:38,590
Thank you, sir.

155
00:30:39,250 --> 00:30:39,690
Thank you.
