to the stands. One nation under God, indivisible, liberty and justice for all. Okay. Roll call. Marian Sheiley here. Debbie Dutton here. Scott Safford here. Joe
here. Michael here. Barbara Puffer here. All right. All accounted for. Um, has everyone had a chance to read the minutes from the March 10th meeting? If so, is there any comments regarding
those? If not, could I have a motion for their approval? I move to approve the minutes. Debbie, do you have a second? I'll second. Second. All those in favor signify by saying I.
I. All oppose. Nay. Okay. Passes unanimously. We don't have anyone here for public comment today. We'll move into items for discussion. Joe. Okay. Um good morning everyone. Um Joe Hansen, finance
director. Um, so the first item I I realize you already know um that I'll be leaving the town on um April 30th. So I just wanted to provide an opportunity to publicly state that. And um as so as of
May 1st, this position will be vacant unless they possibly were to hire someone before then. Um as I was sharing a little bit um there have been a few um excellent candidates who have applied both two of them were interviewed um
one's coming back for a second interview. So um there is a potential it could be filled soon um and we're still accepting applications and looking for the right person. It's not my decision. um it would be the town manager's decision, but I am involved in the
process and helping um to look for persons who have the experience that I I know from having done the job that would be helpful for them to be successful. I'd be happy to answer any questions if you have any.
And I think um you know Andy, our town manager, will also be appointing um someone as an interim in the event that the position is not filled before I leave. Who would that be? I don't know yet. And I I don't want to speculate, but I I mean obviously it probably be
someone from our department potentially, but I'm just assuming that um someone would need to be put in charge of the department as a whole. Perhaps there might be someone else you'd prefer to have represent the finance department, but um that it needs to be decided
because your team's understaffed right now, right? They are. They are underst staffed. Um fortunately, the part-time senior staff accountant that we just hired, he was to be full-time, but then couldn't do the full-time hours. So, he's very good and he'll be with us
until our grant accountant is back from maternity leave and then also until that position is filled full-time. So, at least we have that person in place. Well, Joe, just real quick, I guess I can speak on behalf of the
committee. You've been awesome to work with. Sort of the epitome of a tireless worker by hours and duty. So we appreciate it very very much. Thank you. Thank you everyone and I very much appreciate the support of this committee
and town council. Um you know although it is it has been exhausting um this the high standards that I have for myself but then share with all of you is really what um keeps it going and propels it forward. So, I'm looking forward to
what's in the future as it continues to um improve and raise the bar on the standards here. I really I I want to thank you for taking on the task. I mean, I I had heard that you you did
this as a challenge, but you not only as a challenge, but you want to help us and we need the help. And from a town council perspective, I just want to let you know that we're we're saddened you're leaving. We're not angry. We're saddened. But I really
appreciate the the dedication that you and the job you've done the last two years. It's it's been fantastic. You made our lives a whole lot easier. I mean, for us not to raise the millage rate in spite of everything that happened is it's just true testament to
what you what you've done. So, thank you. Thank you, Scott. I I appreciate it. Well, the next thing on the agenda is is my report. And really, it's an excerpt from the town manager's report.
There's really not a lot on here that's um you know, worth taking up your time if you've already reviewed it. Um, one thing we've we're still tracking is the um the third item is lost revenue replacement
grant. It should now be coming to us any day now in this fourth quarter, probably during the month of April. If the receipt of the bridge loan payment is any indicator of how long it will take once it was approved um to be
released, it took six months to actually see it in our bank. I mean, I'm sorry, six weeks to see it in our bank account. So, it's possible it could carry over into May, but um we're expecting it in April. What's that amount, Joe? That's about $7.5
million. So, that will help us to repay the bridge loan um in the event that the bridge loan is not forgiven. Okay. So, let's see. Joe, I just had one question on the uh you mentioned the possibility of qualifying for $500,000 of reimbursement based on
lost revenue back through our PNC carrier. Well, we have a a a business um lost business um clause within our um insurance policy. So, we've submitted
the um information that possibly would um enable us to recoup up to $500,000 But we've not had a response yet from the insurance company, but we're hopeful that that might be another source of revenue for
us. Okay, let's see. Um, one of the things, okay, the probably the fourth from the bottom of my report, I did put through a resolution that's attached on it's resolution number
2594. And basically, if you go to the second page of the resolution, um this describes in section two, it describes um a loan that I'm I've suggested and town council has approved of $8 million of cash from the bridge loan fund to the
emergency fund. And this is to finance um the emergency expenditures that were um incurred as a result of Hurricane Ian, Hurricane Elen, Hurricane Milton while we're still waiting for
reimbursement from FEMA and FDM. So we definitely need 4 million immediately to be transferred into that fund, but this would allow up to an additional $4 million for a total of $8 million to be transferred in as needed.
And as soon as the um we are able to receive that $7.5 million lost revenue replacement grant um we that's when that additional $4 million would be available and as soon
as we are reimbursed by FEMA and FDM then that money would go back into the bridge loan. So it's truly a temporary cash loan and it's just to cover cash flow needs. Um, one of the things that also came about was we were contacted by the
Governor's Department of Government Efficiency, their Doge Department, um, asking us about our, um, financial stability. And it was very specific questions that were asked of us.
Um, and so I I included a formal um, response, a copy of the formal response that we provided. And basically it's just to indicate that we do not anticipate any instances of financial distress in the
next six months. And then it goes on to list the types of financial distress that they're thinking of or that could possibly happen. So we do not expect anything like this to occur where there's no expectation that there be failure to pay short-term loans or
obligations. There's no expectation there be a failure to make debt service payments um nor to make um to timely pay um claims from creditors. Um there's no um expectation to fail to transfer taxes,
social security contributions or retirement contributions. That's all related to um employee employment. um and there's no expected um deficit in the general fund as a result of our
operations. So, we needed to put that in writing and send that to the governor's office. So, we did that. I also um g gave a presentation to the Anchorage Committee and I just wanted to include a copy of it for you
as well. Um, I don't know that you're necessarily interested in all of this detail, but because it was already prepared for them, I just wanted to share it with you. And it basically provides the the first page of the presentation lays out um the history. Um, so we've
got, you know, all the way on the right hand side is um FY20 and then as you move left, it's FY21, 22, 23, 24, 25. So it shows you the actual um operating expenses. um compared to revenues. You
can see that after her they were running in the black operation rise up until hurricane Ian after that um it took a major hit with um very little revenue um but the still ongoing operating expenses of the moing field and the maintenance
and the cleanup. So that as you can see that's come down year to date for FY25 um it's about an $80,000 um deficit. so far. Um, and there we actually budgeted a
significant deficit for FY25 and that was 336,000 would be offset by revenue replacement um from the bridge loan, but we were being very conservative in the revenues and we're already doing fairly well as you can see just in the in the
few months um of this year we're almost to the budgeted revenue amount. So, we're we're doing pretty well with revenue in comparison to what we thought we would have. Um, that's middle section is really the capital expenditures. The timing of the revenues and the
expenditures um are are kind of off because there's sometimes a few years gap between when we're reimbured for capital expenditures through grants. So, that is why there's that fluctuation. Um, and it also this was presented a
year ago. Um and it it does show that the MON field has required um some um subsidy from the general fund in order to make the capital improvements as well as um for operations. We will be making
another contribution of lost revenue replacement for year FY24. So that should help to ease um the deficit there. But that amount isn't determined yet. it will be this month. Um, and the entry will be made before I leave, but
it's it's not showing there yet. Um, the second page of the presentation just is a little bit more of a detailed budget, so you can kind of see um where the variances are occurring. Um, there was some maintenance done to the moing system that was not budgeted. So, that's
why you're seeing that $30,000 um negative variance there. Um but because of vacancies, they're doing much better in terms of um budget versus actual force salaries and benefits. So
the overall variance um year to date is was a favorable $10,000 expense wise. Okay, let's see. Um, just want to make sure I I am working on um something I didn't
I don't have it ready to show you, but I am working on it and have it nearly completed. And this is kind of like a master funding schedule of all the projects and what all the funding sources are because I think it's it's something that we've been slowly developing, but I just about have it
ready and I want to make sure that whoever takes over for me at least has that as kind of like a map. So basically it's it's all the projects kind of running down in the rows and then all the columns are the individual funding sources so that you can see how much funding is available, how much is used
for all the various projects or emergency expenditures or whatever it might be and then the bottom line of what's left. So I think that'll be very helpful um in terms of seeing the big picture of where we're at. And as soon as I have that, I I think I I could
email it to all of you so that you can also see what I prepared. Um the rest of the report, the only thing that changed in the town manager report was um we increased the amount that was drawn down from the state revolving loan
program for the tier one program. Um that's really the only thing that has changed. So other than that, um, we can go into the financial statements. Then I apologize if this is the first time you're seeing it and I wasn't able
to get it to you any sooner. Um, just to kind of explain again from last time, the reason why it takes so long is we're in order for these to make sense, we really need to do all of the um update all of the acrruals um in terms of revenues and
expenditures, receivables, and really the focus of the effort is in the emergency column because there is such a a large amount of receivables and revenues related to FEMA and all the individual
projects. And so you have to compare the um the actual expense by project to the insurance reimbursements because FEMA does not reimburse you for anything that insurance reimbures you. So you have to deduct insurance to come up with an
eligible remaining amount for um eligible for reimbursement and then you do the calculations based on the type of project it is whether it's 90% 100% reimbursement from FEMA and then you do the calculation for um the state portion
and then our portion as well. So all of that goes into um just the emergency calculation, emergency fund calculations. Now are you using the new system yet or No, the new system Oh, I should have commented on that. The new system is is slowly underway. We're just
starting the training process of that. The data conversion um is was supposed to take place last week, but we're having issues with our current software provider not being as responsive as they need to be in terms
of helping us. They they wanted us to first of all authorize a quote for them to do the work to do a discovery process to determine what they need to do on their end to provide the data. Um but it
took them we still haven't received a quote. So that was requested in February and we've sent several reminders, phone calls. Um it in the meantime, our new software provider is trying to see if there's
other ways that we can just do downloads ourselves with Excel spreadsheets and then do the data conversion off of that. it's not as thorough. Um, and there may may not have every piece of data that's available in our current system because
not everything is reportable. Um, that's kind of the issue why it's just would be easier if they could do something directly from their data files to us. But we'll we'll work with the next best thing and see how far we can get with
that. So, but that's just in the beginning stages right now. So, we're not able to use the new system. Um, for for this um really I would just I'm just looking for
things to highlight that might be um unusual or something that needs explaining. um in that emergency column in the deferred inflows line that would be the um the offset to the receivables that
we're expecting from FEMA and FDM. So like 8.6 million of that 9.6 million is expected to be received from FEMA and FDM. It's put in deferred inflows because we don't know how soon we'll be
getting it and it's certainly not within the next 60 days. Um likewise on the top side, so that due from other governments, that's that 8.6 million. There's also a $1 million um receivable that we're expecting to get
from our insurance company, but we don't know how long that will be. So, I have that included on the deferred inflows as well. Okay. What else? Um deferred inflows. um that beach access fund that's our TDC grant and
it's it's a long process to submit reimbursements and have them be reviewed and then finally receive reimbursement. So generally we end up with an amount that is on that deferred inflows line. That's what that is. And that's why if you look down at the ending fund balance
it's a negative 250. It's the same amount as that deferred inflow. So because basically the fund balance should be zero in TDC once everything comes in because it's but it's because it's on a reimbursement basis and we're not reimbursed immediately. You can't show the revenue immediately which is
why it's on that deferred inflow line. Um capital is similar. The deferred inflows has to do with um grant reimbursement for beach reourishment. Um it's it just takes a while. I mean
there's they're very good at reimbursing us but the it's it's more than a couple of months and our window our time window for whether or not it's deferred or not is 60 days for government accounting. Okay, what else looks um of
interest here? One of the things that might look better now when if you go to the water and utility and storm water um balance sheet is I think you'll see that cash and the net position is looking
better and that's because one of the things that we have done or that was a little tedious process that we're working on. We realized that there were a lot of expenses that were being charged to the water fund still in 2024
2025 that had to do with meter replacements and we were we thought we needed to do that because FEMA was not going to reimburse us for that. But as it's turning out there's probably a way that FEMA can. So we're shifting all of
that expense from the water utility department. we we did in terms of what's reflected here back into the emergency fund. So that freed up more cash and um improve the net position. So that's one of the things that I thought was important to take care of before I left.
So that that's a more accurate representation. Storm water is doing well because we've never stopped collecting storm water fees. Um and so they're they're doing very well, but there is a concern
that the water uh may end up running a deficit in terms of just because of the lack of customers and yet we have the ongoing expenses. So we're that needs to be looked at to see how that can be shored up probably through
revenue replacement. Um, so it's it's a problem, but there's there's potential solutions for that. And we're also start in the beginning stages of a rate study, um, which would reset the rates for water and storm water to make sure that
we're collecting the operating expenses. Um but it it has to be done based on um the full complement of customers so that the rates are truly reflective
of what it would be in a normal setting not what it is now. Let's see if you have any other questions on here. Otherwise, we can go to um you know, there's several pages of
revenues and expenditures, and I don't expect you to look through all this. I shouldn't have even printed it because it's it's very tedious. I just wanted to have it for you so that if you did have a question or want to see what a certain expense or revenue is, you can you can
look it up by detail and find it on these reports. um it might be more helpful to look at the um the budget versus variance reports when it comes to the revenues and expenditures. So I'll just pass over
that. Um cash flow would be page 134 of the statements. Um you can see in the emergency fund quite a bit is going out in terms of this year. so far to payments to
suppliers. That's all the emergency expenditures that continue to go out. Um we've had very little in terms coming back in. We've had um a little bit in terms of grants, some insurance reimbursements,
some transfers in, but there's there's not a lot coming into the emergency fund right now because it's we're recognizing the receivables, but we're not able to count, but we haven't collected it yet. So, we have an overall favorable cash
flow in the general fund. It's 1.6 million coming in. Um, in terms of operations financing, there's still a favorable um 304,000 coming in. Um, and of course, we have quite a bit of interest coming into the general fund.
So that that together with um trying to remember what the capital transactions are some of that is sales um for example um auction revenue but not not all of that but that's some of
it. Okay. And but we'd have favorable cash balances across the board. So 3.6 million in the general fund. Um there's only about a million.1 in the emergency fund, which is why I was concerned about transferring more funds over there so
that we're prepared for the next um hurricane season as well as the ongoing expenditures. Um the bridge loan is at 9.7, but we will be transferring um monies out of that into the general fund for the revenue replacement for FY24. So
that'll improve the cash for the general fund and reduce it in the bridge loan fund. um building is pretty stable. Um it's we've gone down in terms of um permit revenue versus um the expense
of running the the permitting department and the building department. Um but we we knew that that would happen because it's we're kind of at the um in 24 we saw in 23 and 24 we saw a huge increase in permanent revenue and
then we built up a fund balance that we're now using as now now the the work is progressing and we still have ongoing work um and operational expense related to the permitting capital
um that really is a reflection of beach nourishment and also the FPNL um the turtleites um so that's why there's large expenditures going out um and the the funds were there to begin
with we were prepaid for beach nourishment for quite a bit of that and we were prepaid for um the turtleite so that's why um we we still have a significant fund balance there in the capital fund hurricane recovery funds
We don't we haven't had much um opportunity to use that. They can only be used for a a select list of FEMA um projects that was determined by the state and they have to be obligated
before you can use it. But typically what we're already spending the money and then by the time funds are obligated and we could charge it to this fund, FEMA ends up reimbursing us soon after it's obligated. So we've it's really not
it's not serving the purposes intended to serve because it takes so long to get projects obligated with FEMA. The American Rescue Act, um we have the 967,000 left. we should be spending that
down um over this next year. And then the road impact and parks impact, we we collect just a little bit of revenue there um for impact fees, but we haven't spent anything
yet. Okay. Um water and storm water. Um fortunately, we're we're running ahead in terms of um the income coming into water. so far. Um, some of that I think has to do with the reimbursement for um those meter
expenses that I mentioned earlier and storm water has to do with um the tier one project. That's why there's um more of an outgo there and that's offset by the the the
draw down from the SRF loan. Okay. um page 15 of the financial statements would be um the lost revenue calculation or it actually we're running a favorable variance on all of the revenue line
items in the general fund compared to FY22 um doing that fivemonth year-to- date um comparison to FY22. So there's no need for lost revenue replacement so far this year.
It's a favorable $866,000. So, that's good so far. But I think this will slowly change as we move through the year um as parking revenue goes down and no longer um collecting the property
tax. Okay. Then we have the line item comparison within the general fund. So, we have the revenues and I have it sorted in order of descending variance. So, obviously start with the um adalorm taxes has a favorable year-to- date variance at the
top. Code enforcement fees that's related to that $720,000 um unusual collection of a fine. Um and then we have quite a bit of interest revenue coming in so far. Um more than we had budgeted, so that's
good. and um Harper Juice or Moing Field fees are up more than what we had budgeted. And then all the way down to the bottom um we've not had to transfer anything from the bridge alone, which is a good thing. Um we had budgeted a $2.8
million in total transfer and so far we've not needed to transfer anything. So that's why that's negative. Um expense wise, let's see. The most favorable variance is wages. That has to do with
um you know, all of the vacancies. Obviously, um the landscaping, we've not spent very much. that that $797,000 budget for landscaping. That's the Astero Boulevard um interlocal
agreement grant that we had from Lee County that's been sitting in in the um the general fund balance. It was budgeted to spend the entire amount this year for to restore the landscaping on the stair boulevard. Um the year-to- date budget for five months was 332,000.
We've only spent7,000. So that's why that is so high. But there there are plans and um they are working on a design for that. So hopefully that'll be completed this year. If not, it can carry forward to next year and be budgeted again next year.
Um and then contracted services. This that's way at the bottom of the expense line. That's that's really all of the various departments. It could be anything. Um and it's really in comparison to the year-to- date five months worth of a
budget. So some things we we pay um more in the beginning of the year than others and we really have to go into detail um item on by item to determine what um the cause of that would be and I'm sorry I didn't have time to do that. I I'm not
concerned by it because there's so many other favorable variances and I believe that's more of a timing issue, but um I can check check into that just to make sure. And then we have um
the variances by department. So we have the revenues on the top and the expenses on the bottom. Overall, we have the $1,13,000 favorable
variance. Much of it's in finance, but that's because that's where the property tax revenues are along with others. Um, it's not that finance is generating it. That's just the department it's in. Um, code enforcement is that same 720,000 that they had collected. That was
unusual. Um otherwise um the public works you know I think I may have to look at that I that 782,000 I believe some of that has to do with the prior year carryover
that was budgeted for that sterile boulevard landscaping and that's a carryover it's not something that you actually um collect you're using fund balance. So I want to take a second look at that. Hey Joe, do you mind back on on
the revenue section? Looks like from a budgetary perspective, code enforcement is significantly higher. Is there any particular reason for that for the revenue? Yeah, we had uh we had a huge settlement. Yes. 700 over there. 20,000.
Okay. I have one other question. Sheriff services. Where is that? What page? Uh page 17. Okay. Sheriff's services actual $25. Is that the line of we say we the town
allocated for like two officers? Well, it it should be um you know what could be happening. They might be charging that to contracted services. That could be what's maybe that's what's causing that.
Sometimes things are not coded on the right line item. Thank you for noticing that. I'll have to look at that, Scott. So, because it's misleading then because we do have a line item for sheriff services and I know it's not just $25. So, I think we Thank you for
noticing that. There you go. We enact those services. There'll be no more delays in traffic. That was that was the only thing that seemed odd. Thank you. Well, that's the purpose of this report. if it makes things like that stand out. So, thank
you for noticing that. Okay. Um, some of these negative variances on page 19 in the expense side for these departments is probably more of timing of timing issues. So, they're relatively
small. Um, But I I can look more into like community development to see what what the what might comp comprise that amount just to make sure there's nothing unexpected happening there. But this
that's something that I would would have looked at if I had a little bit more time before the meeting, but so I'm sorry I don't have it ready for you. Um then the last page u page 20 um this again is just an attempt to kind of lay
out all of the expenses by project description. This is regarding um emergency expenditures for FEMA. And I'm I'm sorry it was small but I'm trying to get it on one page so I probably need a magnifying glass but it just kind of gives you an idea of what was spent and
for what. So that's what that first column is. The second column is the insurance reimbures. So the way I started out, maybe it's counterintuitive, I have expenses as a positive number. So that's how I started out. So then the revenues
are actually the negative numbers. So you're subtracting insurance from the expenses. Then you I'm subtracting what we've actually received from FEMA and FDM. So that's to so that's a total of
18.3 million so far which is significant and we've received um well also in that um column B I also have the contribution from the general fund that's at 4.18 million so
far. So that that is if you exclude that four million from the general fund, that's roughly $11 million of insurance contributions or reimbursements that we received. And then you have the $18 million of
FEMA. So then that after you take those things into consideration, we end up with about $ 8.6 6 million of re receivables from FEMA and FDM for all of those various
projects. We're also expecting $1 million insurance um payment. And this this has to do with um the temporary town hall um location. So, it's it's to pay for all of these
trailers. So, it's just it's something that we've submitted and are expecting to be reimbursed for, but it's just taking time to get that settled. Um, and then there's also um there's $148,000 of repair work that was done,
emergency repairs for a water break that we're expecting to be repaid by the contractor who caused it for or who damaged the water line, but we've charged it to the emergency fund, but we're expecting to be reimbursed for it. That's but I have it on a separate line
just so I can keep track of that. Um and then the last column just kind of gives you an idea of where we stand. So we do have um exceeds current obligated amount. These are like projects that are above the amount that's been
obligated by FEMA. That doesn't mean we won't necessarily still be reimbursed for it. we just may have to wait a while longer to submit additional documentation. Um, and then we may still be reimbursed for it for there. It's just a more of a
timing issue, but so I had to account for that separately. That's $268,000. Then we do have some expenses that are um unreimbured and you can kind of see where where they might be. Um there's some expenses for the the
town hall um temporary town hall um like the preparation for that that FEMA won't reimburse us for and insurance may not reimburse us for because there's that $1 million um limit that insurance will reimburse us for. And then we have you know small items like um Hurricane
Nicole that was not small enough to be considered a disaster by FEMA. I mean it was not large enough to be considered disaster by FEMA for us. So that's we just had to pay for those expenses out of our own pocket. Same thing um the sand that we bought for residents when
we had that winter storm come through. Um we had hur hurricane Debbie. It's another one that was not um there's no FEMA reimbursement for that. Um there's 12,756,000 that was for um the cost of the Brinks safe that
was it was to get out of the contract actually because it was unusable. It was just a crazy thing. But so there's no insurance will pay for it. Um but we did charge it to the emergency fund because it was the result of Hurricane Ian that
we ended up in that situation. Um and then there's also um the fuel, the cost of fuel. It's not directly reimbured, but we do get revenue from FEMA for um equipment usage that's supposed to cover the cost. So although it's not directly
reimbursed um it's it's in the revenues that we received. So it's accounted for in that way. And then we have the unused insurance proceeds. That's really on the top section. Um and then at the bottom
it's the unused um that $4.1 million is is that amount that was contributed to the by the general fund to the emergency fund um for future emergencies. So that's still sitting there. So I that's um to the best I can
I is to try to lay out the accounting for where we're at with all of these emergency expenditures um as of February. So, so I I will do my research on those items that were mentioned and get I
could send you an email on what I find to just close the loop on that. And did you have any other questions for me? No. Okay. None being, do we have a motion for the acceptance of the
director's financial report? I move to accept the report. Have a second. Second. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. All oppose. Nay. Passes
unanimously. Um I don't believe we have any member items or reports. I was curious what's going on with the audit. They have started it, right? Well, it's been on hold waiting for us to finish the trial balance. We're still making adjustments, entries. So, we have until
the end of this month, which is also what I'm trying to do is get all those last entries in there. Um, you know, part of was was doing that analysis in the water fund to move things out that really could be into the emergency fund. So, it's just doing that kind of deep
dive into those kinds of issues. So, we have that. It's just a matter of actually making the journal entries. Now there may be some other last minute entries but we have until the end of this month to do that and then they they'll do their fieldwork in the month
of May and they should be have the financial statements finished by the um July the June deadline the June 30th deadline. So we should be on track. I um they're very very good once once they have everything they need it goes pretty
quickly. Any other questions? All right. Do we have a motion for adjournment? Well, I actually had we talked about the next meeting, too. It was on here. I'm assuming we're not having a meeting next
month. Well, that's why I have to be determined because I don't know what's going to happen and if anyone would even be here to prepare reports for you. If you'd like to make it um the normal
normally scheduled date like it's a tenative date, you could do that. What date is that? So, I was going to propose now that we're getting into the summertime, we had a lot of issues with getting people to show up for the meeting, right? I
mean, Marian and I are here and Jack usually, but I'd like to go north. So, is it something that we want to discuss when we should meet? Maybe it's every other month. Maybe it's, you know, what works best. So, if you kept with the same track, is
that May 12th? I think so. It'll be May 12th. Okay. One of 10 will be scheduled May 12th. And then I guess we'll see what happens at the town level. All right. Okay. Have a motion for agend. Did we want to discuss how we should
meet in the summertime? I'm sorry. Sure. Um I mean I'm open to suggestions obviously. I'm available anytime. Okay. Anybody have a preference going down here during the summer? We we try
not to have any meetings in July. It's kind of our month off. I think we should for sure have a meeting in August before when we get before. Yeah. once we and
we're we're doing the budget in September and we're setting the tenative rate right in August. A August 4th is the tenative um or I'm sorry is the maximum military. Yeah, we set them we set the ceiling in in
August. So, we meet after that. Yeah, we meet after that. Wait, what do you think, Ron? So, why don't we keep the May 12th date for sure? Um, and maybe pending that we we'll stay on a regular schedule X July,
right? So, we have June, August, September meetings. Um, and I guess we'll just wait to see what we hear back from the town in terms of what the status is staffing wise for the finance department. Be a little challenging to have a meeting if we don't have financials. Well, there's going to have
to be financials. Somebody else is going to be doing it. and it might not be as detailed. I mean, they still have to do it. I I I I understand. I I just tell you from being on a prior committee here when in a prior administration, we didn't always
have financials. So, but we met anyway. So, to your point, I think it's probably good to have it on the schedule. Does anybody have a concern or conflict there? Basically, what we're talking about, we'll stick to the the schedule that the town produces as to when the committee
should meet with the exception of uh July. Uh and there will be no meetings. Good. Debbie, thank you. Okay. Have a motion for adjournment. Second.
Second. All in favor signify by saying I. I. I opposed. Nay meeting is
