>> 13. Fiscal year 25 schedule for cost of services facilities. >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Uh good afternoon, commissioners. I'm going to ask Mr. Philandos to join us at the table. >> Right. >> Present you uh this report. Um each year, as you may know, this report was
delivered to the state after consolidating on all known costs. um construction cost for the state to cover pursuant to our lease. Um I just wanted to point out um as we page through this uh document. It's a lot of work. Takes
bill weeks if not months to compile this. I believe some weekends are involved. Uh it does a nice job with this um report. He's here to answer any questions for you. >> Thanks Phil. Any questions of Phil? >> Nope. >> Wait, that's the cost center right there
just came up this afternoon. Are you giving a report? >> Um I sure I can give a report. So here we have the FY25 scheduled cost to service the court facilities uh that we own. And as you know we own courts.
We pay for maintenance of the courts for the personnel of the courts and the state reimbures us uh basically on um an 18month cycle. So they're like like right now we are receiving payments based on FY24.
So it's it's just the way the state re reimburses us. Um and this year I um typically we would submit maybe around you know 4 million to the state but this year it's considerably less because
>> we don't have Quinzy anymore. Correct. Thank you. Um, and also we did do um less capital that we can get reimbursed for because we did about $170,000 in capital that uh was from
ARPA and we can't get reimbured for that cuz that's basically a double dip. >> These were the years where our capital budget was non-existent due to low revenue. Um and also for for whatever reason you'll see schedule F repair
maintenance of land. Um that's like landscaping that we contract out for or planting of trees, planting of shrubs. For whatever reason, we didn't do anything in FY25. Um we may have done some stuff ourselves like, you know,
routine maintenance and mowing the grass and maybe we planted the dogs. I don't know. We didn't have anything um in that category and that's usually between 10 and 15 $20,000. >> Could that be because of the change over
maintenance? >> Possible. >> You know, >> could be >> this chick could be aware of. >> No, that we >> This is from FY24. >> Yeah, this right. >> Oh, yeah. You're right. Interesting. Um,
so and also, uh, we had an adjustment as a result of the FY24 schedule cost audit because we lost Quinsey Court, that reduced our square footage. And if you see, where are we? If you go down to L,
item L on the front page, admin costs, that's now $118,759. And the Commonwealth reimbures us a whole $1 a square foot. Oh, try to find a deal better than that, Mr. Chairman. So, prior to this, we were re we were
reimbursed on the square footage including Quinzy, which was like, you know, an additional $38,000. So, that was another hit that we took for on on this year. Um, so that's about it. Um, I'll I'll entertain any other questions anybody might have.
>> When do we get that money for >> a year and a half? No, this is U. Oh, okay. You're submitting this and this is for >> this is for FY25 >> for FY25. So, our last quarter payment for FY26
>> Y >> will be adjusted based off of this. So, you figure we're getting paid for some things. we're getting paid say figure June of 26 for things that were
expended in you know could be the f the first half of I mean calendar 24 >> calendar 24 >> right because half >> 25 >> right half because as you know half a calendar half of fiscal 25 is calendar 24 >> right >> yes okay
>> so that's what we see is there's a delay >> and the state will begin to audit us pro once if you gentlemen approve and sign it. I need to get the treasurer's signature and then I will fax this over or email it. I'll get current with the times. We're not I don't think we're
faxing anymore. >> Huh? >> You'll email it? >> Yeah, I'll email it to um Mr. McQuade of the Commonwealth and then we'll arrange for the audit. >> Probably won't see me for two weeks because I'll be doing the audit with the uh the trial court auditors probably
sometime May, miday. >> So, do you need a motion? >> We do need a motion. Okay, thank you. >> We have approval of the uh fiscal 25 schedule of cost to service on the core facilities as presented.
>> Second motion made and secondly to accept the report as given by Bill. >> Thank you. >> I ta I thank you. >> All right. Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. Have a good assignment. >> 14 report of the county director.
>> Uh just two items. um >> just won't pay >> copy last week. >> Yeah. >> A reminder that folks who are eligible for filing the statement of friends financial interest with the state have until May 1st to do so. This will be the last reminder you get on that.
>> And also um state ethics training. Uh the notice went around from draw to sign up for that. Um if you're interested, please do so. We do encourage employees to stay up to date on all trainings. Thank you. >> That's your report. >> That's all I have, sir. Anything else
