We just wanted to make people >> probably I brought this back from years and years ago. >> No. So yeah, less than So one thing I got you talked about at the council meeting that Melissa's
contract is daily. So she is asking to increase her hourly rate for agile websites which would fall under the website and preliminary numbers just so we understand. >> So the hourly rate that she gets paid
for the website doesn't fall under fallanc >> yes but I think This category 2022 includes adding websites which is the development work she does for our website change pages like the centennial
web pages she told us for this year um there was stuff with municip reimburse for calls on crime fs so that lady's asking for And just so you know, the um cost of in
that line is $3,300 3307 of that line that you see there 221 is for the um licenses like constant contact hosting rocket genius domain godaddy
espresso code monkey >> there's a lot So for for different aspects of our website, she uses different. So those total 3307 of that >> of that 9,000. Yeah. So what would
happen if she got her rate would be would be this line would go up to about 11,000 based on the projects that she's estimating are going to happen in this calendar year. A lot of them are heavy heavy in the first quarter already, but she licenses and stuff. a lot of the
work that she's going that she's planning to do has already been built to us or is being bu to us. So she's so based on her increase that she's asking for that number I'm not improve but if she gets the increase that number
will go to 1100 I mean, I'm good with it up. >> Thank you. >> I kind of ask every year about 22. Everybody going
to keep that same. >> I was going That's why it's up. >> Yeah. >> Is that why the training's up too? Because he's doing a lot of training. Okay. Good. >> Um, you know, last year we had 12,000
for office. Just curious. Whoever requested the comput $5,000 >> and then Jason what is that budget for? Last year you did the lights, right? >> Yeah. Well, she doesn't >> she doesn't
build grounds, not >> um but like if it's a project that's on public property Okay. >> So, the council get to weigh in on those decisions committee.
So, You'll see that a couple times. >> It's all kind of the same. >> Any questions on Katie? Next slide is treasure wages of my salary the grant writer and
her web masterates like content updates to the Edmonds. >> I would like to throw out there treasur What would that person be? >> I mean, she's she does her
best to keep up with it. talking about it for years and years and years and years. I thought something about it. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Let's talk about all the functions. I'm not I don't have a good handle on
>> you can do that, but I'd like to add a half year salary in there. 30,000 or something. conversations to come on that is that I'm I'm in agreement as long as we can have a discussion about what
>> and then is that already in the 212 So, um, computers and services That's our license for the court and the computer. internet subscription actually went down
in >> well I don't know if it's Any questions on treasures? >> I've talked to her the past two years and she's she's not questions on administration.
So this is my little bit. >> So Frankie advertising and printing a little bit. We do our own house which office over here in your office.
We have like a a mail service for savings, too. So, I looked into like for our tax bills, right? >> So, there's a statute and I some towns do utilize them but I
don't I haven't seen anything that would make me comfortable doing but I have to certify that the bills won't end >> and if I send it to somebody else I can't honestly I use this service called pirate ship
and they give you discounted usage UPS now I don't know how they do it you're using the regular We don't know that it's a private company. >> No, all they do is print out the postage. You print it out on your home
printer. You put on package. You bring it to the mail. >> That's just postage. I'll show it. >> There's like the cards. So the card like bulk mailing discounted on you know how you're shipping it.
>> Yeah. This is commercial purposes. I don't think buy so much questions on tax. So um this is tax appeals so our ratio has dropped
again this year but seems pretty significant. It is pretty >> equality with you know values different markets people started saying hey I too high because my
neighborhood's not as you know as high as kind of trigger people to do more so >> and commercial mostly Those guys, they know what our ratio is, what they're assessed
at. It's a game. >> They know what our ratio is. I have been talking to Scott about what they've been doing is doing one year and then same company for the next five years we'll tweak the numbers
>> so it's not one >> we'll tweak them so that they're just municipalities that every 10 years we do last time. >> So historically not like every museum
watch but uh historically we've been doing it every 10 years or if the ratio falls below you know 50%. >> Also there's a trigger if um the ratio if it's 15% from one year
the drops off and that will the county will say hey >> so it's probably 18 years or so ago next year sit down.
>> We haven't had a lot of residential >> because you're buying a house for 800,000, right? Right. >> But it catches up with everybody eventually. Right. So this this year our ratio changed a lot.
>> Okay. So that's 64. for residential and commercial >> and it gets very close >> within decimal points but >> very rare for that to go down keeps on
>> okay cool understood I just I figured that was coming. That's why I asked because >> well there's there's >> Do you know how much? >> So it's hard to put a total number on it because we try not to
write a check writing out cash. So this year that may it gives us some >> questions on The next one is legal services. So these miscellaneous
this is our labor attorney attorney. This covers John's John >> any extra that he does that doesn't particate that kind of stuff issues
>> over the last few years which And do we need to since we're since we're kind of done with the housing for now? I'm never going to be short again. I did that one year. We were probably 50
$60,000 short one year. We're still going to have this year. >> But it's quite substantially higher since 2021 outside just to note that you know
questions engineering services >> John Yeah, Donald has elections from Rose. She has stated that with the special elections
So we just get a bill for the ballot. >> Oh, we did. >> We do get us a bell for all voters. >> But she said she was answering whether you got it. >> She doesn't know. No, I'm not asking for it, but that's how it works. So, you
don't have to look to printer. They do all that. This is from miscellaneous is there. >> I'm sorry. >> Wait, the attorney's fees go under miscellaneous. >> No, no, no. There's another one.
The consultant plan is still >> Oh, who's that? >> Okay. I didn't hear the second. Thank you. >> Okay. So this line here seems expense people
just >> today. Sure. I think also somebody considers that the um the master plan coming up in 2028 needs to be reviewed.
So I know >> right but I think the the idea meant to start planning for that this year. >> Okay. Anything else around
me? adjustment change questions. Next is building here. Um I looked at the salies for working there. I looked at counting
hours in as well and high That's the only one I changed um besides um health benefits and pension to actual numbers.
>> So just going down to new cars take that out. We have tried to like some sort of a hybrid vehicle just on state.
I just got a hybrid consider I would recommend something in there for it even if it was the hybrid rather than just eliminate it all together. Something
>> there's nothing wrong with this car at all. Correct. Do anything. >> That's next week. >> Well, when we leave it in, right? It doesn't need to be 50,000. We can reduce it, but something
$50,000 is going to buy the car or it's not 30,000 or whether it's a hybrid or not. just my honest opinion is I don't think they need >> Yeah, Bill and I talked about it.
>> I mean, he's uh I guess it's really just um yeah, I mean he recommended that the budget in there just So that's not a good reason.
>> Is that what you're saying? >> Sorry. >> They all use you have four or five inspectors, you have one car and stuff. If they were to get another
county or something couple I don't see problem one, the software line that's certainly not being utilized. The SDL one there for not being used. Actually, I was just
talking to Sue there today. >> Oh, they are? >> Yeah. She uses it every day. She maintains everything. Karen Karen's updating the information for permits, but Sue is using
>> so long. >> Um, >> I don't know if they can submit an online, but the their office is tracking everything. comes in, they're entering it into the system
is >> not being >> I'm not sure if they print it out, but they do they do input the information that comes in rather than filling out everything manually like they used to. putting everything into so
>> uh yeah I mean there's services there things that it does that we don't use yet but but they definitely use >> the drawings in there >> so the drawings haven't been scanned yet I >> mean anything new
entertain looking at something real good. I mean, I I honestly don't remember, but I I also know the bill wouldn't just put it just the numbers. We didn't have anything last year, right? Zero last year.
We tried for one last year. No, we didn't have a budget for it last year. I said I Bill Bill recommended we leave it in there. So I would suggest we leave it but the rest
discussions leave it in We'll see where we are here at the end. >> I I do have concerns. I know when the department had g some of the numbers he said were you
placeholders because he was going to have further discussions right there were some things that u were budgeted last year that were supposed to happen and they didn't happen this year and they're not being
budgeted this year. Does that mean that they're not ever going to happen or I don't I don't know. >> So like the facility improvements I think that was standard right the documents back was $34,000 last year
but the budget he gave me was 10. >> No they will. We just it just stalled last year. So we just have to pick that up again. But >> but it's not in the budget. 10,000 budget this year. So 12,000 over five years.
>> Yeah, that was the that was the intent. But um like I said, it stalled last year. So we'll um we it does need to be done. We do need to scan the drawings and documents in um
So we increase that the 276 line 50,000 up to 50,000. >> So00 that other line up to 40,000 the 276 line. 40,000 out of the 50 and move it up and you have $50,0006.
>> Okay. So, >> got >> 10,000 actually. Yep. >> So that means that all physical files eventually will be scanned in and they
will be accessible through search functions. open requests, all that kind of stuff >> and a lot of open requests are for properties for realtor. >> I'm just using that as example. I mean right now they're able to use SDL to do
that comes up, excuse me, the drawings are the bulk of the cost, right? last year when we got a couple estimates. What they do is they go down look at the flat files. They estimate um based on you know how many
flat files you have and they give you a cost per age to do that. I finally got to that point. We did. Yes. Yep. So, but I'm fine. >> Yeah. But I'm But I'm fine if we want to
increase that number to 40,000 and decrease the new price to 10,000. >> Zero,000 cut,000. question. >> What's the number that they'll give you for outside?
>> I talked to him. He gave me 25,000 and that's actually talked to him because >> I said, "Why do you have 25,000?" >> Okay. >> And he said, "Oh, let's keep some of it. Let's keep what it was what it was last, >> right? What is that? What is that
outside inspector?" >> So, outside inspectors are supposed to be for not employees. So, if there's a conflict with one of our inspectors, then they can't do the inspction. right now there's it's not a shared
service there professional currency that a lot of colleagues adhere to. So if you know whatever town they call hey can you do our inspection I have a conflict and then if they need it ours go there and and solve the conflict.
That's why we never really there >> benefits. That's been pretty good. They have for the uh computers and servers. Last year we had 1,500 and we spent 15,000.
>> Yeah. What is that 15,000 for? Is that is that for the supposed facility improvements? >> No, those are actual that's an actual number. So Anna has to check those licenses. could be comput.
>> No, they didn't. >> Why is it 15,000? >> So, I'm wondering >> why it's under >> SDL's under software. >> So, that's one that maybe that was for
that number, right? >> So, yeah, because that's what I was thinking. That that should be the rebudgeted 14,000 last year. >> They spent 15 350. Maybe they spent 14,000. >> So, they saw computers, >> right?
>> I think it would make sense to look into it and see how much of that was for the SDL software. >> Well, they charges 14,000 >> a year. No, that was 2025 and it looks like zero, but it say 14 out of
1,300 >> 350. So that makes more sense. So it's okay. So you transfer 14,000 from 229 to 530, >> right? And then that leaves >> that's just >> No, I know. But just mathematically >> I'm going to look and see what that
would make logical sense to me, you know, whoever. >> Yeah. And it doesn't apply to my >> sometimes the folks are done. like >> 24
year. So >> yeah, anything like in January, but they were, you know, 25 >> to keep it for going forward. >> Yeah. This is like for track. >> I know. Um the other question
But I know that expenditure there was to train the individual that was there. So she took um I guess board that's what
is I mean, we've been we've left it at, you know, 2,000 the last two years. So, leave it there. We don't know what's going to happen. We don't know. >> Next department, police department. >> I actually think this is one of the
better ones that the police department has put together. >> Yeah, this twice. We've had some extraordinary years. I think this back to normal. >> So you see the
wages union officers and um individuals there um officer in charge that um I pretty much amount of hours contract um special officers
we do get reimbured for service So that's all >> these ones on page 24. I know that some of these like distracted driving is all grants and that not
>> just applied for distracted. Okay. So, do we need to put do we need to put a budget in there for it or >> so we're not allowed to put any >> unless we have authorization. So, if I were to get from
that we're going to have this grant from them by the time the budget is in >> I do it not but Yeah. >> Okay. Just going to take your seat. >> So the DF we don't have any
that's the police more than likely they'll apply. They haven't gotten that application yet. And there's another one that they've been getting for the last couple years away. Tyler, do you know a crime prevention
line is for 10,000? >> What number is that? >> Um 284. >> Yes. Funding in this line item supports the department community, national night out, Kono with the cop and Coffee with the cops will all be hosted in 2026 along with a new event
pizza with the police. In addition, the department will continue to support >> I got you this up for me. So we have >> community for that. >> Soy said they're doing a pop in advance. >> All right, that's it. I didn't ask
anything else. >> Do you want me to go through each line,000 car? I think >> the city does this based on a year consumption as well.
>> It looks like they estimated based on energy administration. >> I'm just saying about three bucks. >> So that helps with >> the break. Yeah, that's what I'm just saying. I think he picked in the middle
of the yellow. Okay. >> The police chief did ask he requested an additional equipment replacement for so >> we said that this capital
meeting calls for different. So it calls for different So, but they have turn in and get get credit for that. But, um, he did take that to be safe. >> So, you already did that line. >> I did not. No.
>> So, he wants 32. >> He would buy an extra two. Correct. 32. So, when they upgrade, so this will be the weapon upgrade and they trade kind of trade in. >> Oh, this is this is just >> No, but you said
something. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Well, that's I mean I'm sure all the details for >> just get the answer to that question. What is it? The I'm sorry. I was ridiculous.
>> Why do we need new guns? And also, what um what can you get running? >> Their guns are all Yeah, they're all old and essentially getting to be harder to find parts and replace when they get new guns. They give the officers the option
to buy them, but I think 200. So, yes, there is a buyback for like a third cost between00 >> I know where you're going next. Um yeah, so we had actually that
discussion this week just about the act would be the body replacement. So um 3500 request um as far as grant money that we have towards. We did
receive funds 1,95. >> Yeah. Just do you know why why um it's so much lower than it was the last two years? >> The body armor replacement. Um he just said basically um there's like a
fiveyear life of the body armor and only officers set to expire this year. >> He said a possible retirement may assess that they could purchase for a second. >> Okay. >> I think we had we needed multiple last year and things like that. I think we
also had a couple that expired last year. There was just one expired. >> You could probably just say just about anything right now. And we do get grants for um we had grant money I thought didn't we came also
on our last year we got out of that 11,000 400 No, >> right. Sorry. I moved down to the body one camera. Didn't we get a >> but it wasn't it actually was reimbured
all the the cameras >> and then we did you know I guess >> there was extra that 8,500 was >> grant money. >> The 2,000 now
looking for new ones and they're now new cars. 36,000. >> Can we just put the actual budget? It is >> No, we a little bit like the equipment.
It was like 46 >> 46. He actually a little bit low. He estimated 42. So he wanted 57 in there. I moved it up to >> reflect the actual cost. No, it's the car itself is 46. Then you
got the radio dispatch services. The whole county should be assuming these. So your local commissioners ask them when the county is going to assume this responsibility and spread this amongst all the
Can you say more about that? Just right now the towns that are using every town is on the system. We still have a town fire department. >> They're all benefit >> and they're not paying anything. spread across the whole county.
>> And then what about this medical services? Why is that insurance >> like thought she was going to stop entirely the request the requested amount accounts basically for physical and
psychological evaluations of a potential new hire >> subsequent like hepatitis B vaccinations and mandated drug testing of sworn personnel school crossing guards will continue to receive annual physical examinations each August prior to the start start of the school year as
recommended by the jail >> anything else That's all I got for that. >> This is why this is the best one in the whole this and the fire department >> are the two best. >> Yeah. Well, yeah. Kevin is Yeah,
>> always, you know, >> you don't even have to ask any questions for that. >> No, there's Yeah. Anyway, >> OEM, I guess we can move on. >> So, this one, you don't have to be
>> foritis. He basically >> requested funding to support CIR, which is he wants to get like uniforms, traffic vests, flashlights, stuff like that. And then traffic lights, >> right? Right. >> And then the final phase of the retro
that was emergency fire department. No, this is >> needed. I got questions. >> Oh, he actually >> fire convention up a little bit. More guys going
He's asking the lifeenefit insurance up a little bit to the association. Um he recharge extinguishers usually water.
Contingent to be safe outre that was his anything that went off. >> I think the same as last year. >> Yeah.
Yeah, I I don't disagree. I think maybe we should consider increasing gasoline,000 add on. I mean, >> I mean, just make it Compell,000 equipment replacement. That's just
>> it looks like the same. >> Yeah, it sounds like that's definitely >> because I was say some parts alone are like pretty grand what happens and um I mean I'm not expecting
the mini pumper that's coming. I don't expect any maintenance or repairs, but I know >> pumper we're replacing, right, is slowly starting to consistent. The next department That's the salary from
that we had pretty much the numbers other software. So it was for um new software image image trend that's new last year.
Um, no, not much impressive. This seems pretty safety section yet. >> I just wanted to give you >> There are no questions. more is as we know capital that's more
>> public relations he did drop a little bit I don't know if he dropped it enough most of it was for his the tent the outdoor tent >> yeah he still does the helmets he still I don't have that plastic
>> national stupid dog on there. Um I know he's looking for capital. >> Yeah. >> Questions on fire department works.
here. I do have backup for the PPW salaries and assistant superintendent part. >> So just in I guess 102 pump it up like
>> I don't think we have enough. >> Is it all due to snow? Inconsistency is most we know leash season right >> that's a separate >> yeah but it's over time some of the events now added personnel right
so that's added some you don't get anything like you're already over what you did last year >> correct last year so you're recommend 13.
>> I would say 15,000. >> Yeah, that would bring it up to 130. >> But to to that end, if we look at beef and fresh pickup, we've had a year, but we've spent half that line 208.
>> So, that's something you can take out. This line's too short. >> Well, that that's that's what I'm thinking about is, you know, do we >> some of these things shouldn't
>> Well, I'm just I'm not doing it. I'm just saying based on trends, right? So, like the last This is three four years leaf and brush pickup has been I mean the highest was 30,000 right and I I understand like
>> I get it we've done that over the years I'm just saying like if we wanted to maybe make up some of the take out >> and you Okay. >> Yeah. So, right. So, we wouldn't change over time.
>> So, let me see where we're at. Yeah, because you can't transfer until you don't want to go. I would say we are today. So last year you guys approved dedication by rider for storm.
Unfortunately there's nothing that transferred in there. >> We're not spending all the >> right then I will start to trust. line.
>> It's on a line. We did a dedication set up for any storm related lines. If you have any left over, >> we could move it into allows you to do that.
>> We just created it last year to be able to Wasn't that a $10,000? >> That's that's over. So that would be anything. >> I know we have a wine school. when we had Sandy and whatnot.
>> Yeah, that's >> just uh curiosity. So it's kind of cut to two pages, but line 209 at the top of page 36 is actually for road sweeping. We had zero budget last year for it and they charge 6,300.
>> Well, there's two and the person entering the voucher >> seems to um put it in the water. Where should >> there's a sweeping storm water? >> Department of
work. They do the sewers and they have storm water. >> Those three departments fall under department of public works. So >> you're saying >> they used to have two two lines but it really should >> so it's coded wrong.
>> Gotcha. And I think I interrupted Mr. I think he was asking you can't delete that line from the budget right? >> No >> has to I don't know where else to keep it. >> Oh, you mean like carrying over? Yeah, I have to check with him.
>> But I don't like the option. >> If there's history, they won't. Yeah, it's >> they'll stay active. >> Some accounting programs. It's three years, five years, right? >> Got okay. So, right. So that's 6300 and what was the line item in that it
should have been >> underage. >> Oh gosh. Oh, you said 74. I thought you meant 7,400. You literally $74. Okay. Sorry. >> Gotcha. Okay. So then you add the 6,300 to that and then
That makes sense. Thank you. >> It all comes out of the same pie, right? Why did um why did we increase the training line 533 to 27,000?
>> We only used 3,000 >> management continuation. >> So we started some training back in 2024, >> right? didn't know how much. >> Okay. >> And that's why this year it's only
4,000. >> Correct. >> Yeah. >> It might not be enough. I know we're I know we have at least 200 coming. That's over six weeks old. So, we still
got that coming, >> right? >> I don't think we got previous medical services line 296. What's up? Okay. >> So, it's more medical supplies. Well, the service because they go and they check the box and everything to get
rid of and >> there's a service that comes to the air. 258. Yeah. 550. >> It's very It's very specific%. the water because
>> Oh, so sewers is um >> so this is the other half of of the sew county. So most township and they give us a percentage to utilize to maintain
part of that wages. Um I do charge for some health benefits. Um so want to do this line and come up with a this is estimated right now until we
have discussions further but I kind of back into it so but it is a finite number it's not >> okay >> Um, public works is the same
the same crew as DPW. No. >> Yes. >> Okay. So then that overtime line is for covers both. >> So there's two overtime. >> The same rate. just >> so anything for sewer related as we
charge to the sewer we can't charge this is money that gives us back >> to that particular Thank you. That makes sense. We have leftover municipal storm water $75.
Once we spend this 10,000 max for a solar system update, >> the math is a reimburseable. So we have to do the work first. trying to figure out the issue what
we're going to do with the jetra. Um I'm not sure what's on the capital yet, but the other option is to rent um the truck normal basin clearing. So, I did call a place today on Broadway and they rent
out the truck for about $200 a week and they're using four weeks bas So I'm not sure if we can apply some of that to this and its work. It's just one option doing that.
>> So what I really like see 30,000 sh. >> Yeah. a year. >> Yeah, it would be >> that would be capital. So new truck would be excensational.
Yeah, but I need to know what 450 cost less than $30,000. That's only rented, right? You still have the other stuff throughout the year. It might cost you 40 45 $50,000 a year
to not have your own. >> Yeah. They've been pretty >> relates It's going to be okay. >> Once he gets those numbers, >> it was a dad joke.
My god. Everybody else >> went down. They went down. >> So I'm when I saw these >> well the rate the rate went >> the rate went down but also our point even with the new building our tonnage
has basically made >> 2700 tons and it's pretty much that but this is a decrease. Yeah, I'm shocked about the garbage. >> I'm sure that's it. >> I was going to say the packaging is getting lighter.
>> So, actually, it's not that spread. Any questions on the back of the handover is This is for I got this from the right now we have 36,000
gave We do. Yeah. >> How much do we have to use this year? >> I haven't received the grant yet. >> 247 This is basically unspent money that we
have said to the newspaper collection. >> It cost us $300,000. >> Yeah. Used to get money for it, right? Used to make money from it.
So, we do still get some money. questions. Here is for um the cleaning in the community center. >> Yes. Every year is kind of a little bit different. >> Oh, really? Christmas lady.
Memorial. >> Okay. What was that? I did have to increase the utilities going up. trans. >> And you said parks maintenance 205 is for wild.
So that was um I did drop it down a little bit because on page 48 I meant to have park as 5,000 and park as 10 basketball.
>> Who's that? >> Yeah. I'm going to reduce park to 5,000 under park. Um so that number is over. >> Yeah. >> No, it was this year spring. >> Was What's that going to be?
>> Well, yeah, but you got that bill, right? You're not changing it. >> No, so it went up 2.93% over last year, which is the lowest in the last couple years. >> But that's this is the bill. >> This is the bill. 59 for both spring and
correct. So for the special events, so the special events parade, right? And um so we asked for the centennial community budget and it was in a docel
spreadsheet to see where we're at. And it looks like to date they've received 70 almost $80,000 of income between our donation and their own fundraising and they have 2794 on hand and then
their budget shows that they want to incur an additional 6529. So the funds that are still needed to fill their budget is 22435. So I can show you this based on what I
got from there's no budget for that really >> whatever I think it's going to be 4000,000 is also going to finish the park. >> No, that's in here. That's 30,000 that's already budgeted. So,
that's not to that's not to finish the park over there. And whatever money is left over. >> So, it's not like it's a budgeted >> line by line. It's not it's a committee decision on how to spend. >> Yes. But we decide how much to give
them. So, Their budget was 100,000, but they don't based on because they did fundraising, they don't need 100,000. They need 80,000. So, I'm asking if we could reduce that by 20,000. They'll still hit all their budget goals for all their events.
>> They have all fireworks. But that's the that's the event. I'm I'm sitting on that committee. I'm against dropping that line. Again, it's either going to be utilized as a park uh
in that Centennial Park to finish that park. >> 30,000 they already have budgeted. I think that's that's finished. They want to do a pathway. They want to do a sitting area back. The architect
is probably draw. >> I know from residents that I'm getting a lot of scrutiny around this budget. So, I'm trying to be a little bit more >> what we're donating to them is generous at 80,000 and we already have a lot of these events. You're talking about
making them bigger and better, but we have budget for them already, >> right? But this is on top of what's budgeted for fireworks. We have something special for fireworks display. Isn't that what summer is?
>> I think that's working on >> something. No, but again >> whatever it get or have the park.
>> Yeah, but I mean we as a council should be deciding how much we want to invest for the park, >> right? I'm suggesting the 40,000 for the for the whole centennial. >> I know we've already budgeted. Well, they're telling us they've allotted 30,000 for
>> which is not >> No, I know what they want to do, but it's not that,000. Yeah, I mean the one design mural that we have is like 20 grand or something for that. >> So for example, they budgeted $20,000 for the cocktail party, but they didn't
they didn't spend that because they also went in for that. So I'm saying that this 100,000 budget is completed based on those receipts. So if you look at it as just a donation, this would have been fine. But they're also doing fundraising as you said. So you know
>> we agree that 100,000 was a generous amount for a centennial year to allow more than 100,000 doesn't really seem responsible. I know that the fire department spent $75,000
for their fire department. This is a yearround effort for the town everybody's enjoyment and cation and
beautifying the park. I don't think >> I didn't say wasted. >> No, I'm just saying overly generous. I don't think it's 100 years. >> So I haven't seen this before. So just so
this is what they estimated right to 100,000 the you got the actual spend the receipts first. separate separate entities but still arguing. >> No, I'm just trying to understand the
number. So they So what what's their actual how much have they actually spent to date? >> Is that 62,000? >> 37,000. >> That's that's this number 37,000. Okay. >> And they had 19.
>> Oh, so they received 19,00s. to their credit. >> Okay. >> So they looks like they covered >> like 75% party just fundraising.
>> Um okay so Nancy what are you suggesting? So first of all what line item we talking about special? So it's 560 which is right now it's 59,000. Is that right?
But I think those are the only in >> if they had not done any of the funding, >> we would have had to give them 40,000 that >> they were able to get some income.
25k back still 200k less out of pocket. >> Okay. >> So instead of giving 40k 25 >> I mean >> but you know my point is here we have a farmers market. I'm just going to do
that as an example. That is 20 weeks for residents to enjoy that gets allocated a donation of $500 and they don't and and they don't cover they want the farmers market income to cover the jobs. So, you
know, we're talking about $500 and 100,000 100,000 plus. It just seems very I know it's a special year but you know >> tax you're asking taxpayers who may not even go there.
>> Yeah I know that but that's a once in that's a once in a lifetime market goes on forever >> market subsidize the business >> it also helps our ress they just enjoy it. It's
convenient. It's a gathering spot. So anyway, it's just wanted $100,000. They had $1,000. We're just out. So you were able to fund raise. Now you but our contribution would be less,
right? >> That's what we're saying now. Okay. >> But yes. >> Okay. >> If we're going to get another 40, we can say you can spend up to $100,000 from the 199. >> Yeah. But that's not necessarily
20,000. >> Sorry. So what are you suggesting for this? >> I Well, I was suggesting that we don't give them the additional 40,000 that we know that tastes better than that'll
And then for the water, the pool water. utility. >> The building was almost triple. 47. I think that's about 37. That was probably
>> not one of the last pages. He's trying to get there. It's always >> I have to research it and see if it went >> I mean that
what it's worth after we fix it. There's like >> just keep running. Yeah. >> Anything else for building the house? And then I did put extra. >> Lots of cats. >> No, not that many. Where are all the cats? They're hiding.
>> Good fun and it's been under contract. >> Oh, it's under there. >> So, their line is 14,000 contract. >> Oh, okay. It's attached. Sorry. Alliance
out of >> Tyler working on that book, right? >> Yes. getting them to have a more thorough filled out >> getting pretty much
flat. >> So we had decrease in and then U the sheet that's attached is from the director. I did have to change um the contract for fireworks that you know we did it out already for that
cost more for >> this is foration. You talking about separate >> it's family regular >> this number here is a contract price >> no the contract for 2026 is 24700
>> but that's in the special events >> yes it is she had 24400 I just changed it by 3000 And then there's other things up,000. >> Yes. >> She was sponsoring. Um, so I know last year when we talked about
this budget, um, we looked at the sports fund and then moving it out of contributions, you're not contributing anything to anybody. Um, and you have a line program.
So that's We could reduce and get it out of there. >> I would take it out. >> Yeah, we already have money. >> It's coming out of two places. So that's >> not really in the proper cont.
>> Okay. So that 3500 goes into that. It's already >> It's already in there. >> Yeah, we have a $10,000 I guess there to support any programs that the recreation has.
>> So if they need anything for their sports, whatever. >> Yeah. whatever they keep keep there for people that you know construct that is already built in. So you're
saying redundant? Yeah. >> Okay. I took it out >> last year. We took it out because it was redundant. >> 253 Yeah. >> Any other questions? tree.
>> I'm very happy to see this one flat. >> I'm not happy because the emerald ashore is crisis. So I would think at some point we should start seeing this go down rather than continue to go up. They've added new
added last catch up. What is the budget? Yeah, because all the trees later. >> So for this last year, we asked for a
tree management plan and we asked for prioritization of how they prioritize their work. In other words, is every dead entry a an emergency? Um it shouldn't be. So we never got that. And I feel like a little bit of accountability would be helpful here.
You know, that's you can't reflect that in the budget, but there should be some accountability for a budget of this size, which is almost as much as the fire department's budget. Um, for them to report back on one tree replacement
policy, but we don't get any kind of reporting on that or anything like that. So, I just feel like this is a lot of money. lack of accountability that we have from this particular budget. So it makes me uncomfortable to always
authorize this amount when that accountability is not there even though it was asked for. >> We sign vouchers every two weeks. I know it's not that I believe it was 62 trees 42 62 trees I
think it was last year. certainly what happened in the past at least five years >> I think there were 30 trees at least taken down by DPW just on one hill side
of community so I don't know >> any of those >> but they also Yeah. So, we don't need to know how many trees they took down because they're not reporting it. So, I we could claim there's a one to one. So, um that's why we're asking for a tree management plan,
which I think there's a grant that's in progress for that and only one person's working on it uh on that committee. So, probably could use some help. But prioritization, why you know there were trees supposedly that were hanging on the for that particular spot
uh the batting cages but trees. So, you know, in other words, just prioritize why why are we expending for these trees? Which trees are can wait till next year? Which trees do you need to go in this budget?
Maybe it's not right that they're not taking down a tree in the middle of nowhere. >> We haven't seen the last year and we never got. So, >> so I'm not saying no. I'm just saying that we're asking, this is the second
year, we're asking for more accountability. >> You know, one thing I'm very happy to see that take downs and pruning g up. I just want to make sure that those trees survive. There's pretty
taken care of. So those bags go in there. Um so make sure that apparently the DVW is taking care of them things managing them. So I think if there were 60 trees planted last year, we should
have registered where all those trees are. >> That's true. >> Yeah. They do it for a list. >> I'm sure we have a list too. You know,
it's a contract. >> We should know where our trees are. The DPW needs to know we're going to do these trees Monday through Tuesday. So that pretty soon, maybe at the end of this year 15,
That's something that should be shared last year after >> we don't know, >> right? I'm sure that I can get that. I don't think they do.
>> I'm sure that they have that information. >> I don't think they do. >> I don't It's been asked and they haven't been able to answer it. So, I don't think >> somebody will find out. >> So, what's is there a proposing
budget or anything? >> I just want to make sure asking for more accountability. So when we come to these budget decisions, we can say this makes sense. You know, they can maybe if they prioritize, they can say this is the list of looked at that
are dead. These have to go down this year. These have to go down this year. >> I mean to your point, right, the other departments have provided backup that show what they did. So having reported Department this
budget allows us to realize what we received in revenues last year and what's in our funds. 196400 is would have to be the budget for this year. Um I know last year they did have
their salaries and that's withholding their salaries. So just to back up what you said because I didn't fully understand it. It's different this category be called that because it's a utility. >> Correct.
>> So we can't just increase the budget by is it statute for a utility? >> No. If you tax or supplement, but what you said before was we can only realize what we received in revenue the
prior year >> plus whatever we have in the fund balance for this particular ility, >> right? Which is a separate bucket of money. I operates some of these other
>> question 246 facilities maintenance budgeted 9,000 spent 28,000 >> 196 Okay. >> The salaries are flat. I could offset the salaries. >> Well, some of it too was not getting
done this year, >> but I guess fall into winter. But the intermediate repairs now that facility probably Okay.
So that's okay. So wages So where does that come from? >> Okay. So this is our budget. So we're increase right now.
have a better What happens is difficult for a lot of different goendes needs to be in the following years. So the taxpayers will be paying for any
shortfall. Not this year but next year. I think we allocate in the general budget a fund to support the the guys decisions right that would be also there's a lines of
charge allocate it if it's not needed then it won't get used but if it's funds >> not carried overation line and then >> transfer that go back to what you're
>> right. >> This is what we have to work with. So it sounds like you know the rates they make a lot of revenue they make a lot of revenue >> you could be making more money in in
2026 So that would be short. >> Okay. >> Library. You just have another year. So this came
>> auction. >> It's the supplier. >> So that that's the insurance that's the volunteer and concern. under insurance
for the volunteers% >> $353,828 is the increase for our lovely state management of funds >> to be fairwhere, >> right? I would love to know what the average is though for across the board,
not just state. >> Any questions on insurance? >> Doesn't have those answers. Happy to do my homework. So um that's the actual bill that April 1st
public employee retirement system. So that's our contribution for the like 401k. >> Well, the DCP >> social security I >> probably said that's nothing.
>> Oh, nothing. Well, not% contributions. On this line, we contribute to What was the other one? >> Yeah. >> Um, one item that
is donation for the canon repair. I would like to >> around 10 short I will point out the exact number department report. put this budget together for us. Um, but
so she is asking for um, but she said there's an area down the hall that is obstructed and she can't see from with this camera. You can't see all the way there. So, she's asking for
a camera. I did put a backup. No, just the chief and I had had a conversation last year about this. It just never got done as well. >> Oh, where is it? is 2900
>> but the cost is 1500. >> So the salaries went down because This is really clean. And again there's there's two um reserve
there for alcohol education 500 wages and then 500 lot of times that 500 special for
our municipality does it cost for that funing. questions. The prosecutor capital improvement funds. So last year we uh put in 875,000 there the year before as well.
proposing 575 again starting number I know they're going to be discussing capital um been very proactive about trying to fun project as we go
reducing our debt significantly or even having to This year is one of the things this year we don't have any payments for the first time probably
right now we do have to load projects you know million have money in We're kind of giving ourselves a to those notes won't come next. temporary decrease. >> I mean like to see if I got a good Yeah.
>> And the schedule. So this is what was talking about the schedule with our two bonds, right? And then the one from 2014. It's this is the last year for the next year.
one of those will go away. >> Okay. Okay. 2014. >> Oh, >> just it's very specific. That's how specific is off a pen and she'll find it. I >> was going to say it's how you get it to
that last zero. So, just a funny story. She was off like a penny or two >> for weeks. She found it until 9 in my head. I'm like going, "It's not really a
dollar on the one side." >> She wouldn't let it go. >> I had offered to give her $10. She wouldn't even take the test. >> Got it. again department
>> last year last year we were a little bit more proactive. >> So we actually next department on bonds again. No interference. >> That's up. >> So, just uh we did get a previous bill.
Um for the road department or police department. >> It was for the road department from the state that was only >> so much. >> So they said it was
>> it was 57,000. >> So So we got the bill last year and we were able to fit it in pay it. They normally do bills when it's due and then they because it
follow I put it on the original sheet that I may not >> I said your book I like makes me start sweating. No, it's impressive. I'm very impressed. >> Yes.
>> These are open ordinances that are not fully funded. >> These are right. That's not the reason, but they're not fun. Yes, >> they are. The reason we had brought out for you
know bonds usually wait before actually permanently funding the funds. What would we do? So at the time we had enough funds and
capital fund balance to pull our own debt so we didn't have to go after some municipalities are actually getting into providing funds to other towns.
>> Yes. I haven't research something other on one of our >> Yeah. You were kind of surprised. >> Yeah. Wow. >> No, it was So
>> currently we have uh so we have these uh so what I'm recommending closing with this budget is to pay off the oldest um capital that we have which is capital improvement for various roads to pay
560,450. And then um last year when we spoke about the acquisition fire engine, we spoke about that's going to take three years or so to actually get it to us. So we don't pay it until
we actually receive the vehicle. So we have opportunity to start number behind us when we can. And this is what we talked about when we ordered that truck. I would not be again that years
in check. So when do we get the truck last year? >> Yeah, we get a mini home next month. Right. >> Yeah. But then the >> we budgeted
>> they're telling us two years instead of three years which is a year or so >> but we have to pay in full on receipt. >> Yes. >> Okay. So I get what you're saying. So if it's two years then
>> two we paid one we paid it last year we paid it this year. So you last year I think the interest >> when we talk about >> I negotiate every year I go you know I look at the She's very proud.
She did very well. Very well. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. While we can >> read >> and then this year we just >> So this year we're going to end up if we
approve it this way we clear that 23 still when you talk about where the funds the 520 and now this 520 here ears out yet, but allowing them to not. >> So, we put it in the budget for this
year, but the ordinances are passed once we have to >> No, the ordinances are done. We wouldn't be able to question the last one
if you don't need access. asset is uh you know sometimes there's funds left over wages that get transferred to here fund anyone
retires and they have time left >> thanks I was saying I'm half of the country call in especially especially for, you know, the uh the public safety portion. Um but uh yeah, I I did I'll talk about
it between now and then, but I did you see Kevin Chief was talking about putting up like a building over here, which could be like Yeah, like a new like truck. They could
put whatever. Um, I mean, it seemed like a very cost effective piece of idea since we're not, you know, doing it's >> just building on the property.
I'm talking that's Kevin's capital. >> You know Chris Chief Chiefs is Chief Kas like it would be like a mini almost like public safety building on that side.
But again I'm just it's in his it's going to come up and be discussed. I'm bringing it up now so people can have a idea of it. >> This is a fire department. >> Yeah, we'll chat again. I'm just I wanted >> person Next week
when's the next what's the date? >> Yeah, I'll be at the next responsibility. My whole family will be tired. >> We're still live. Anybody have a drink with an umbrella suit with a matching bolo to my two
brothers. Uh I got a new neon hat to wear. >> Don't give any idea. >> I'm just not >> I work hard. When I'm on vacation, I'm on vacation. So anyway, if you look uh if you look on the back of this the last
page of this uh comparison sheet, you see where the budget was before we started. I don't see it shifting too much or another >> based on what we just did. >> But we still have to talk about the next. >> Yeah, but that's >> that was that was discussed.
>> No, but that won't be about that. Is it this top number, >> right? So that's the total increase, >> right? >> Okay. Yeah. to talk about the other
>> I had a meeting today. >> Oh, you did? Okay, good. questions. >> Last year, what was our like I see like it says like you know total 2.15% you know what it was last year
>> right right but you know what it was but it's lower than last year because it was like 37 last year something >> that's Oh wow okay so that's fantastic then I mean I know it's pre capital and this is appropriations but
>> I'll take that >> yes >> it's hard to get a Yeah. Then after that, >> listen, this is this is fantastic. See how this is going to tank us.
I was going to say it'sable after a motion to do is we do this. >> Okay. So 850. Very good. Thank you for >> uh your time.
>> Thanks for coming. >> Get involved.
