City Council budget workshop 8-27-19

[0:00:00] shop to order and we will start with a discussion of matters regarding the fiscal year 2019 2020 budget preparation including but not limited to one the general fund revenue and expenditures to priorities and goals and last three other items needing counsel direction and Tina I think you're on girl all right Thank You mayor so the purpose of this workshop is of course to refute review the proposed 2020 budget for the general fund and to give counsel an opportunity to look at changes to what's proposed for revenue and expenditures as well as other considerations that you'll be able to make so we'll start out with a very high-level summary of the general fund total revenue and total expenditures you can see total revenues proposed to be up about 1.7 million dollars where the expenditures increased by about $400,000 we did provide you with the division level detail schedules and so at this time I'd like for you to pull those out so we can kind of go through that and see if you have any questions on those line items before we move on with the presentation go back over specifically the property tax very specifically relative to how many dollars were dollar increase in property tax versus existing property and then the dollar amount that was all was new property tax new properties added to the tax roll so there was a two hundred million dollar increase to assessed valuations 53 million 1.3 right 1.3 million dollars as they share the actual revenue yes but they increase to the assessed valuations of properties was about two hundred million dollars fifty three point three million dollars of that was due to new properties being added to the tax roll just want to go back over that because at the last city council meeting

[0:02:02] we had there was a discussion about numbers significantly different than that so I just want to make sure we're clear about how many dollars of increased property tax we had over existing property and how many tax dollars were added to the tax roll so 200 million 200 million additive property yes to that about 150 was existing property 53 million of that was for new properties added to the tax roll that is the valuation of the properties and of course that in conjunction with the tax rate is what produces the 1.3 million dollars increase in revenue correct thank you and then on sales tax relative to last year the dollar amount is what percent decrease over projected 2018-2019 actuals your 19 we're projecting and ending sales tax revenue amount of 19 point 7 million dollars for fiscal year 2020 in this proposed budget we've included a mouth is actually conservative it's a five and a half percent decrease from what we actually expect to see in the current year and the amount of almost 1.1 million dollars and the amount that we are proposing for this year is eighteen point six million dollars that's included in this current budget that we're proposing okay does anyone from Council have questions as it relates to the property tax dollars and/or the sales tax dollars being projected at this point for the 2019 2020 budget okay with no questions move on to your alcohol and bingo tax alcohol and bingo tax we're seeing a slight uptick in that in the current year and so we are projecting that up a little bit at eighteen thousand eight hundred dollars and that's based on projected current year actuals in your franchise tax franchise tax we're projecting up eighty one thousand dollars that's in

[0:04:06] conjunction with increases sales sales tax excuse me water sales and sewer sales because they also pay a percentage of franchise to the general fund and what about the other franchise fees there are franchise fees for television telephone gasps of course atmos we saw increase in that in this last fiscal year electricity so able yeah but the bulk of it is due to the increase in water and sewer sales all right so if we're taking a look at the at most increase fees based off of what they're asking for how did we plan the dollar amount for this budget on Atmos and the same thing based off of the new Texas legislative session the changes that could occur in the cable television telephone so for that we did reach out to Suddenlink and requested some information from them they indicated that they are actually not paying as telecom fees based on some federal legislation so we don't expect to see any impact from that legislation that passed at the state level all right so those numbers are basically flat then to what has been yes ma'am to cable television yes for those who usually use a five five-year trend look back and try to base it off off of those numbers could we jump back up just a minute on the alcohol and bingo tax relative to this year's actual as of today what would you what is the alcohol beverage trend line it's growing slightly here today as of the end of July we're at $400,000 and so we're projecting it to be up about I think $25,000 from that by the end of the year and so we are facing next year's proposed budget on those numbers so playing it flat on those numbers basically cuz you but slightly

[0:06:09] up yeah yeah all right and then on our charges for services would you go through all of the items that are inclusive in that line item so the changes and charges for services has increased due to ambulance fee revenue of course Municipal Court we saw a decrease there because of legislation so those are the two big changes in the public safety area of charges for services so primarily ambulance so primary ambulance services being yes so Municipal Court revenue was down three hundred seventy thousand dollars so let's talk about that why would that be yes if we can do you want to go through these sheets mayor that we handed out to you the schedules that way you can see right in front of you the numbers that I'm talking about would be your general fund it says general fund schedule of revenues on the first page right but that's a huge and that far right column yes ma'am that shows all of your increases and decreases that we are proposing in the current budget for 22 de crease of 368,000 explanation we do have Melanie here with us as well as you can actually come up and talk a little about that we are seeing and projecting as far as the on our fees that ticket writing is one of those but Melanie I'm I'm sure there's others you'd like to discuss so good morning I'm Melanie right director Municipal Court we do project a a decrease in revenue for the upcoming year mainly there there is a

[0:08:13] decrease in filing of charges like charges filing of charges maile charges ticket writing yes ma'am currently if you wanted to compare through July on this fiscal year to July of last fiscal year we are down approximately 5200 citations 5200 yes ma'am and the explanation for that would be that I don't know that would have to be a law enforcement question we also have some state mandated changes from last legislative session that have affected charges that are filed in the court for example some of the juvenile offenses that used to exist are no longer filed in our court things of that nature so in addition to the decline in citations we've also had a decline in some of the criminal offenses due to legislative changes you have an example of one failed to attend school that is no longer filed at Municipal Court used to be and we used to file I don't know off the top of my head how many of those citations but that was a drastic change for the court those are now no longer filed at the municipal court level that's a big number to swallow 368 thousand dollars yes ma'am there been any corresponding decrease in expense that we have decreased our expenditures as well unfortunately it still requires so many dollars to operate the court even though there is a decline in the number of charges filed state mandates have increased the workload in how we handle a lot of these cases so there is still there's still a lot of work

[0:10:16] involved in a lot of expenditures involved as far as processing summonses and notices and collection efforts that were required to do now and that type of thing that even though there's a decline in charges there's an increase in workload so the court is still operating basically at a the same rate of workload I guess you could say that we have in years previous there's yes one second Tina wanted to say something I wanted to answer Tommy's question there was a decrease in municipal courts expenditure budget of over 150 $7,000 and that was largely due to turnover and staffing changes not relative to number of tickets or charges go ahead Michael if you look on the third page of that report you get into the expenditures and in the top section there the third line down Municipal Court on the far right side you'll see that I think primarily due to turnover and a little reorg that they and Daniel worked through they've decreased those expenses so Tommy if you were talking about Municipal Court expenses they are down a little and I think that primarily due that turnover and reorg that they they worked we want to make sure that what we're not doing is decreasing the amount of tickets we write because it's an election year or things that can impact the function of our police officers because 368,000 is a huge number yes ma'am unfortunately the court has nothing to do with the amount of charges that are filed we're just the venue for those charges to be filed so that's not really within our our control you want to make sure city continues to be safe yes ma'am and that's a key point Mary you said safe isn't it really isn't about the revenues it really is about

[0:12:18] making sure that the streets that we do maintain safety on traffic you know so a lot of times it does come down it if you pull somebody over give them a warning at least that warning will make it safer for the other citizens that won't be affected by maybe somebody running in a red light but that is a goal to make sure that we're doing everything we can to make our streets safer so further questions or comments from Council would you like me to move on to the next line item you're working so the next line is of course fire and that has increased by about three hundred and forty thousand dollars for charges for services and that's largely due to the increased fees for the ambulance services as well as a slight increase in run volume any questions on that line item moving on to Public Works no changes proposed therefore revenue for public services there's a slight increase in parks and recreation and a very slight increase in the Nature Center for parks there's a twenty five hundred dollar increase because of reimbursements expenses for the recreation division athletic programs cause them to have a slight increase of sixty eight hundred dollars in the Nature Center had fee increases which caused them and increase in revenue of one hundred and fifteen dollars those would be all of the public services revenues that we have charges for services offered all right talk through recreation down one hundred and thirteen thousand are you on the expenditures or the revenues expenditures sorry oh that's okay do you want me to move on to that or no because

[0:14:23] I want to go through this a minute so there's the only increase we see is in recreation in terms of revenue primarily primarily yes ma'am and that's because of new athletic programs and probably some of their fees that we looked at this year $800 questions comments with non move on okay and then we'll move on to the Planning and Development Services section on page two at the top slight increase in development services revenue as with a corresponding the slight decrease in planning of about $500 permits inspections is the big one here that did increased by one hundred and six thousand dollars for a revenue projection and that is largely due to the fees that were reviewed this year and that council approved an increase for you will also see at the end of our presentation that there is a corresponding expenditure that we're proposing for that increase to revenue I just want to point that out that we will be discussing that later all right so you were going to discuss later the interest increases and then the well the transfers in and out are really not a conversation so and you're going to talk about health services increase yes so health services the one hundred and thirteen thousand dollar increase there is actually I'm just an engine accounting procedure we used to account for that those services within our grant fund fund 103 because that program no longer receives grant funding or moving it out to be accounted for within the general fund where it should appropriately be counted for us so and then of course yes Billy go ahead code compliance an increase in revenue by fifty six

[0:16:28] thousand yes ma'am that is due to a projected increase in abatements because they are hiring two part-time officers so they expect those part-time officers to be able to abate more properties that will increase the revenue but you also later on see a corresponding expense to pay for those two part-time officers thank you and why are the animal services down I mean it's not very much but just explain that I'll have mrs. Cheng Wynn come to the podium please morning our revenue has been on a downward trend for a couple years now and so it is down not very much but something that we just wanted to accurately reflect actual data we've certainly been over front-desk procedures and handling and charging and collecting appropriate fees we do feel like that's happening properly but just there is a decrease in our revenue that is still just in line with our actual activity again good okay so and where it says other departmental charges twelve thousand five hundred and sixty one up is largely due to reimbursed expenses from the from say pack for operating the auditorium we do charge out their utilities on a pro-rata basis and so we'll see a corresponding expenditure increase later on in the budget as well all right and your interest projection is conservative and in line with our investment officers if the projections spoken with our an investment advisor several times she's very comfortable with the projections that we're making we will still continue to monitor that on a monthly basis and if we start to see any changes then we will of course bring that to your attention any further questions on the revenue side of this

[0:18:33] budget with none move on to your expenditures our first section for expenditures is public safety we do have an increase in for the for the police department of about three hundred ten thousand dollars and that is due to budgeting for year two of loyalty paying steps for municipal core again we discussed that earlier a decrease of about one hundred fifty seven thousand dollars largely due to salaries and a turnover within that department safety communications is down seventy seven hundred dollars because of salaries and turnover fire is up a hundred and eighty thousand dollars for their expenditure budget that is due to the training program that they are offering which has a corresponding revenue and to targeted increase request for chemical and medical supplies as well as some equipment replaced and for contract services whenever their revenues increase on the ambulance side they have a corresponding increase in expense because they do have a billing company that bills those service runs out for them and then last in Public Safety is fire prevention which is budgeted down $25,000 due to full-time salaries and turnover within that department okay counsel none move on to public works right so for the first one in public works would be engineering that is projected up $85,000 but that is mostly due to a reallocation of salaries that were accounted for in the past they were charged out directly to some other funds they're now being accounted for within the general fund and so it's just moving those expenditures from one fund to the general from another fund to the general fund and we are compensating for that somewhat by including those costs and services in our indirect cost plan and

[0:20:36] charging it out that way instead operations admin is up $2,900 just due to salaries traffic and signal signal control up about $6,800 also because of salaries slight decrease in street and bridge of $1,100 that's it for Public Works questions 14 on public works with none move on to public services public services includes parks which is projected down $30,000 due to salaries and turnover the waterlily garden which is up $2,600 of course in line with the contract that we have for the waterlily garden recreation is projected well on this sheet its projected down one hundred thirteen thousand dollars but if you look down the page at the Nature Center it's because we've pulled it out into its own line because we want to be able to account for the Nature Center on its own to kind of show how much it's supporting itself to its own revenues right so there's a corresponding increase to that line yep yes please Lucy Tina can you explain again on the parks why were there damn why are they down so much Oh salaries and what is salaries and turnover they have a hard time filling some of those positions Billy when they have vacancies as of a certain date we it's April 15th to be exact we budget based on the starting arrange the start of the range for that position and so sometimes that's less if they have turnover then what someone in that position was making at the time that makes sense who do not put on fewer people it's just I think Carl can probably speak a little bit more to what is going on it's not fits we've lost some senior supervisor positions and in filling those positions

[0:22:39] at a lower level that's the reason okay thank you any further questions from Council all right so move on to the next page the next page you should have Planning and Development Services I'm the first one in that department would be an administration which is projected down $5,300 due to decreases and some salaries planning is up $2,500 because of some increases in salaries there as well GIS is projected up $35,000 again that's due to a reallocation of where the salary was charged it was charged to another fund now it's being accounted for within the general fund and then permits and inspections is projected down $14,600 due to salaries and benefits again just turnover within the division that would be it for planning and development services good move on next up is neighborhood and family services first line you have there should be code compliance which is projected up $65,000 mostly due to as I'm and earlier the two part-time employees that will be or I don't know if they have been hired but have or will be hired to increase our abatements okay Animal Services Animal Services is projected up $17,000 that is because we did regrade those officer positions excuse me to be more in line with what our code compliance officers have as far as steps and certifications and things like that and social services is that a break out again yes ma'am and that used to be accounted for in the grant fund and we're putting it into the general fund because the portion that does not receive grant funding so a it's not greater expenditures it's an issue of fewer grants and looking at it

[0:24:41] holistically as its own area right so anything that's in the grant fund should technically be receiving grant funding and so if it's if it's not it should be accounted for within the general fund and that is the same answer for nursing and environmental health moving a little bit further down the page under the health services so if we look at it from a holistic perspective then on the ones with the asterisks all three of them the ninety two thousand one hundred and forty six one hundred forty five thousand nine hundred and forty three and then the $85,000 those were code compliant 65 all of those are significantly up but if you combined them and took out the grant monies received would we basically be flat to last year's or to our projected this year's expenditures in those categories so yet holistically for the entire city funding wise those budgets their targets remain the same they're just moving from one fund into another fund and we pulled any funding sources that were being transferred over to the other fund are now just staying in the general fund so it's basically a wash between the two funds or just because it's not a grant-funded we can't account for it and a special revenue funds so it has to be accounted for within the general fund so that's it's just a change but it's not a change of funding level yeah okay thank you so I think I jumped ahead on health services on on nursing and environmental health those two line items are as you explained breaking out yes ma'am and so then like we would move on down to general government line items so go ahead City Council is projected

[0:26:45] down $26 good job we won't drink so much coffee city manager's up $17,000 based on changes in salaries internal auditor is up six hundred dollars again just salaries all of these are mostly just salary changes for public information is down $1,600 of course because of salaries and turnover their City Clerk's office is down almost ten thousand dollars due to salary changes construction management is down $4,200 because of salary changes and then the Development Corporation is down almost fifty seven thousand dollars but it's not an actual decrease in their expenditure budget is because we're now pulling they used to be accounted for in quickbooks accounted for separately outside of our financial software and this year we are going to pull them back into our financial software so that's just a change in the charges that we had within our software that we were charging out to them that will now just keep in the fund so it's not really a change in the overall funding level administrative services administrative services the first to our city attorney and real estate those two both have a slight increase in their budgets I believe that's due to the Westlaw software that they purchased for record-keeping and maintenance finance is projected up $25,000 that's in line with our contract with the Tom Green County appraisal like that contract is increased by that amount billing and collections is up $3,800 that's just changes in personnel information technology is up $37,000 due to a target increased request for increases to our agreement with hte or Central Square which is our financial reporting software purchasing is $11,000 $11,200 because of south changes in

[0:28:47] salaries human resources is up 126 thousand dollars due to some software purchases and then also some changes in personnel and way that the salaries were being allocated between ourself insurance funds and between the general fund crossing guards you should start to see some savings after these with the impact of the soft the time clock I'm sorry so actually if we want to have Brian Kendrick come up and speak to that sure he could give you some information morning mayor council yeah I think that consistently what we heard from Tom o'clock plus is that there was a three to six percent pay Road decrease related to purchasing that software in other other organizations now that would not probably affect our our salary but more the hourly folks so it won't be of the total payroll but yes we would expect that to greatly any other questions questions from Council no questions from Council we're done and then moving on facilities maintenance is project about 5,300 dollars again I in in line with the increased revenues I mentioned earlier related to the auditorium utilities that we're charging out and non-departmental is projected down eighty seven thousand dollars included within non-departmental is tax rebates we saw one tax rebate agreement with glaciers for seventy seven thousand dollars we have the transit districts contract accounted for within that account and then of course civil service lately payouts that we fund I have further questions from Council nope okay moving on to transfers out grants expenditures are decreased by sixty

[0:30:51] three thousand dollars that's of course it's in line with matching for any grants and grant activity capital is down three hundred sixty eight thousand dollars that's just the part that we transfer out to fund 501 for equipment replacement and last year's beginning budget we of course allocated some of the sales tax surplus for additional equipment replacement needs and so we're just taking that back out of the original budget and then other funds is down forty three thousand dollars that includes transfers out for general fund supported funds such as Fort Concho Texas Bank Sports Complex and Fairmont summer cemetery alright so and tow any questions from Council on those line items with none all right so what we have is generally speaking general we have in total general fund revenues an increase of 1 million six hundred sixty four thousand over the fiscal nineteen original budget is if your slide up here it's 1698282 increase in total expenditure for a net marginal revenue of 1 million three hundred three thousand eight hundred fifty nine dollars and that's over the original budget but it's not the number if we looked at where in August our year ends and forty five days so if you're projecting your 1819 budget not planned budget but actual projected budget what would those numbers look like we don't have that number in total mayor

[0:33:01] just again all of these revenue projections are based on on that methodology the original budget yes not on actual so no no no ma'am we asked our proposed yes our proposed 2020 budget is based on actuals and most of the time we use the last five years an average of the last five years and use that as our basis for projecting what we'll budget for the following year so it's not just based off an original budget just ma'am clear yes okay do I have any further questions for Tina on where we're at right now didn't look like it go ahead just once again we did talk about keeping the property tax rate at point seven seventy six for $100 valuation our FY 19 certified valuation came in at almost 5.2 billion dollars which is a three point five eight percent increase from the prior year again new property added to the role was over fifty three million dollars of that valuation and we do budget at a 98 percent collection rate to be conservative so if you look at the three point five eight percent increase from prior year would you take away the 50 the new property on that and give us a what the increased percentage was on last year's versus this years without the new properties and Kimberly can probably calculate that quickly but I will tell you that the 53 million dollars in new properties yielded about $400,000 worth of that 1.3 million dollar increase no matter which just kind of goes to the importance of you been talking about about this as far as economic development and what that means to actually bring those new values because as that it does assist in looking at the property tax we not only look at maintaining the property tax rate but even there's been talk about reducing that in the near future

[0:35:06] because the new regulations are relative to increase over prior year not new taxes added to the tax roll right and we want to talk about that because we want to make sure what the new regulations that are there if we take a look at the trendline it wouldn't initially have a negative impact on us because we would be within the range of what we're limited to in terms of what those increases legally are allowed to be going forward that's why you're asking for the percentage without yeah the new valuation so yes because I think the real going forward is what three point five or three point six percent three point three and a half three point five so we just want to talk through that and show that we can still function and offer the same kind of quality public safety within the numbers that this year are forecasted maybe forever but necessarily but again that expresses the importance of making sure that we do have those new property values in order for us to tackle the Nizza we'll have in the future since we will have a three and a half percent ceiling we want to make sure we do everything we can to increase those new values and that way we have those additional revenues come in we want to continue to support the public safety issues in this city and so we want to make sure that those valuations continue to allow us to do that all right so next slide this is our slide that we show just to show the trend in sales tax collections I'm showing the last five fiscal years and then moving on to the next slide shows kind of that we're running along the same trend lines with 2015 and 2018 but we're actually seeing increases even above and beyond that go ahead tom yes there have been back to your collections there Tina yeah we have seen a gradual and continuous increase in

[0:37:10] dot-coms and those online revenues you know forgive me for maybe this question specific does that get by zip code I know in the sales industry can't release may go to you a reps on the first three digits of a zip code in the first four and as those digits expand to a five digit zip code you're more specific so when Amazon pays those or the dot-com revenue that we see come in if somebody purchases it at all within the city limits or wants somebody from let's say wall or grape Creek does where does that revenue go it should be specifically within city limits so any zip code that is within the city limits should come to the city of San Angelo what about ETJ we would not I don't think we'd receive any revenues really not supposed to we shouldn't write we don't object any other questions from Council Tom would you like to be annexed you know somebody that like to be in any further questions on one time yeah all right Tina go ahead we've already kind of talked about this slide but again we're projecting nineteen point seven million dollars for sales tax revenue proposing a five and a half percent decrease from that amount for a difference of almost 1.1 million dollars and here we have our what happened I hope no one's colorblind else you'll not understand this slide because it's kind of hard to read what we're looking at up here well it looks like whenever it was uploaded we have this happened before when we send it to

[0:39:13] public information sometimes when they upload Ryan says I lied yeah not blaming Brian's got a man I blame Microsoft for that but it looks like it didn't pull in the actual names of the ranges so I'm sorry for that but again this slide is just to show that property tax shields 47% of our general fund revenue sales tax yields about 25% of it I'm going on that top graph you want to follow the colors at least franchise and alcohol and bingo taxes 10% charges for services at 13% and miscellaneous is 6% of our revenue sources expenditures by Department Public Safety includes 55% of our expenditures public works at 13% public services at 6% and then other at 24% and then expenses by type just under seventy percent sixty nine point nine seven percent is related to personnel expenditures O&M yields are as 23 percent of expenditures and then transfers is about 4 percent transfers aren't a revenue it's just a shifting of dollars between funds yes you have tina and it's perfect okay if you don't know this number but i'm going to ask it relative to our budgeting process and the way we break out as you just did the revenue by categories so for example our property tax represents 47 percent of our total in sales tax 25 percent do we have numbers that that we don't have to live in other cities so we don't worry about other cities but I would assume our numbers are pretty much in line with what most cities have actually a lot of cities will see a much larger both property tax and sales tax revenue depending on the total dollars but as a relationship

[0:41:15] as a percentage a lot of cities have a higher percentage of sales tax compared with their property tax because they do have a stronger commercial and industrial base that helps support the property tax correct yep so that's why we continue to want to grow it yes ma'am all right do I have for the questions and/or comments on the presentation so far keep going so we're gonna move on to some other considerations for the City Council so we wanted to point out to you that you've previously approved Police Department requests for fiscal year eighteen of five additional officers you also approved five additional officers in 2019 as well as loyalty and paste steps for the police department in FY 21 included already in your proposed budget is two hundred thirty two thousand dollars for a total of seventeen seven hundred and nine thousand dollars for loyalty and pay steps and then of course we do still have one final year of additional steps that'll cost about $175,000 and for the fire department you approved in FY 18 eight additional firefighters and also in 19 you approved the first year of the safer grant for a partial year for that year of course in fiscal year twenty we've included an amount of one hundred and forty eight thousand dollars in our proposed budget for that program and then you'll see fiscal years 21 and 22 going to full cost so those are just automatic additions to the budget as we move forward from us Manor because we know they're already an obligation we include them before we tell you any marginal revenue that you need to make decisions about okay so other considerations that we wanted to discuss with you today include straight maintenance and potholes infill development River stabilization development services software police body cameras peak hours ambulance salary adjustments and health insurance so we'll go through these one-by-one and let you ask any questions or have discussion as we go through them

[0:43:17] okay okay so the first one we have is Street maintenance maintenance and potholes and Shane has provided us with some slides and he kind of wants to go through a little a short discussion with you on that Thank You counsel this kind of based off what councilman Thomas had asked for two or three weeks ago one of the prior meetings City Council meetings and just kind of wanted to touch base with y'all on everything since we've this has been such a hot topic here lately and kind of got through some numbers but just to kind of get everybody kind of up to speed on where we are as a city from a city when we look at Street Bridge Department and what they're responsible for we have approximately 1200 Lane miles 1183 Lane miles and of course on Lane mile one one mile is though it's a lot of street so even though it doesn't sound like a lot it is quite a bit so then we have to we also maintain 223 miles of alleys as well and we did this with a whopping 37 employees so we're you know we're pretty lean in the in that in that realm so especially when we look at the labor positions is 33 management administrative we have four you can see average vacancies since October of last year we've averaged six vacancies and current vacancies right now are at eight and again we're the it's a revolving door over there especially on the on the entry level employees so core services that we have for the for the city or that this that this division takes care of not only just as it Street and bridge but you can see our standard stuff street repair cracks heal loudly repair curb repair and then vegetation control we actually go out and you know spray curb lines and and take care of those areas the mean the big medians the one on twin mountain with all the rocks spray and make sure that we maintain your manage all the weights there as best we can and of course the pothole repair utility trans repair for water cut sewer cuts those

[0:45:21] type things go back and repair those we also take care of the vector control the mosquito spraying and putting out the larvicides all around town we also take care of the majority of the illegal dumping that's in town that's taking place in town and then also tree trimming when we when we have site restriction issues to work with code enforcement on those try to get compliance with the property owners if we can't then our crews go in there and take care of that as well too from their additional things that this that we get tasked with at street and bridge or clean out and secures for the fire marshal's office for the safety issues and then of course the demolitions from once once we've they've had an order to demo the structure we we take care of that for them and then of course there's this tons and tons of special requests out there as well too so yes Terry just because I have so many board into buildings and condemned buildings and district 3 we have a number of those demolitions that are waiting because you do not have edible personnel to take care of right there there are a there is a huge backlog right now dangerous buildings or dangerous structures that need to be demolished and hauled off just simply because we have been so far behind the curve on trying to get caught up with not only potholes and trench repairs and then of course as one see here in a little bit the time it took for the tornado cleanup and the and the debris cleanup around town and as well as some of the issues that we had material acquisition as well - so we're just trying to get caught up with streets the hot dry weather definitely isn't good on our Lakes or on our grass and our yards but it sure has helped me on the streets get well to add to that I don't either tornado but also the heavy rains that we got last that was started the season or the year off with

[0:47:26] some aggressive it really should not last October yeah yeah and that's why we kind of brought these numbers from that October time frame it started raining in late August September and and with all that rain it started really just making the pothole situation a whole lot worse throughout the city and so from there we kind of started bringing these numbers forward from that and from from that time frame because that's when we really started to up to in the pothole repair as well - so kind of you have two months well that is with is that question attached if we get any rainfall its relative that's let's this like this slide right here kind of it helps us it kind of knows what we have complaints in this what this is based on what was just called into the street and bridge office and or email DN or come through over the city's website was just dish out two hundred two thousand complaints we have in that same time period October through July 15 proximately fifteen hundred temporary patches which is kind of our throw and go just to fill in the hole to make sure that it's safe enough for people drive over not tear up their vehicles is bad and then we've done over a thousand permanent patches in that same time period currently you know there's there's there's still a huge backlog or the permanent patches and and we still see potholes they're still popping up even though it's dry it's not raining and we're still getting and we're still getting receiving the complaints on a daily basis so we're still backlogged but we are catching up a lot faster but again two thousand complaints and we're only at a thousand permanent patches so you know we're still at fifty percent so we've still got a ways to go yeah we got a couple days worth work and when we look at it and you know it's kind of looking at this slide as well too you see some of

[0:49:29] the other things trench repairs three hundred fifty to work orders have been turned in for trench repairs we've completed three hundred and five we still have remained at forty seven it's very good good job and so working through those you can see some of the other major projects that this group is completed and amongst all of this kind of in the same timeline we've had due to all the rains last last fall we had some on the Hickory Park line some of the county roads out in the county that had some collapses under them had some failures so we had to go out and repair those we've looking at the Prewitt drive up there on the north end of drive we completely pulled out and recon rehabbed about 200 200 250 feet drive to get ready for the sealcoat got that sealcoating done major repair 24th and Armstrong I mean you just named we've quite a few of these major projects that these guys have tried to complete in that same time frame as well - there's some really positive comments on the sealcoat projects that are going on right now yep yeah we're and it's a and again - we're trying to still working through the still working through that and the SoCo project going on right now and I've got crews trying to get out in front of them I know I've had we've taken several phone calls of the sill coat contractors paving over or still coating over potholes that we haven't got out in front of yet but again we will come back we will we will get them and we'll cut them out and we'll put permanent patches in them at some point time we just can't get there before the cilco crews and we're trying to get out in front of them but there's just not enough employees going too many different directions so it's kind of what it holds no no no matter thank you let me do an amazing job just when you look at those numbers you got 1,200 Lane miles you got 33 labor people doing the work that is 30 miles per person that those guys take care of one person on on a street that's unbelievable that's an S

[0:51:32] and that's nice nothing with what you have to work with it's unbelievable how well you do and I think what with all the alleys and everything else as well - yeah there were there were having to be challenged with and weigh in amongst all that so it's amazing good yeah and that one last slide pain if you can forward that when I just kind of wanted the interruption sir puddle pair of course we had the tornado cleanup and these guys not only the street and bridge crews but the stormwater crews as well to just just did amazing work 18th of June 7th 20 calendar days my guys work 17 days over 12-hour days straight through we did let them off have the one holiday weekend off but other than that those guys work straight through for 17 days for over 12 hours we averaged over 12 hours a day so just they did great jobs the the the stormwater division continued even after then after I pulled the street and bridge of guys back off to go back onto the street stormwater even kept on from kept on going from there especially in the Bradford neighborhoods so going there and then also we did have due to all the rains and all the moisture all the all the processing plants that we buy from in this region our general region of fixes all there from you validator Brownwood here in san angelo it was so wet that those guys couldn't make make any mix and so we actually went for almost three weeks without being able to get any mix to fill a pothole with or to do any patching with so we've had some challenges there for a while so but again this hot dry weather it's again it's not good for our yards it's not good for our lakes but it's it's it's helped my guys that I'll try to get a little bit caught up on these street issues so just kind of wanted to give you an update councilman Thomas has asked for it's kind of where we are right now and so issue is is it's not that we're ignoring them and it's not that there isn't a huge big effort and a lot of energy put into addressing the potholes so no one is ignoring the issue

[0:53:35] no one is trying to ignore citizens requests no they're not was just you know we there's there's a lot of lot of lot of things within that list for those those people to get done those few people that we have you know 33 laborer positions were short eight right now so that just even fewer people that we have to stretch across all of those many jobs and so but again we're the guys are they're hard at it ever everyday so and they keep plowing away at it well the turnover and went secondary the turnover and employees should slow down a bit simply because there is a slowdown in terms and a lot of changes in the Permian Basin so I think we'll see stabilization of workforce this year unlike last year where there was just and now companies are looking at it from more of a P&L perspective versus just throw as many people at it as you can so I think that will stabilize and as as the employee stabilization happens you should find yourself in a much better position so but again thank you from all of us for the work and effort that has gone in to spend a tough year from the rain to the tornado - yes ma'am it's been a tough tough tough year but the guys they've handled it well and they're there they're staying with it and they of course it's to 109 degrees it'll hurt you pretty bad Wow on a blacktop Street so somehow hundred nine doesn't even feel hot anymore if you've had all these 107 degree days but it is hot carry I just want to say thanks to Shane for putting this together I think this will answer a lot of citizens questions those people are taking the opportunity today to watch this guarantee you they won't quit the phone calls but it'll at least give the citizens an opportunity to say hey we know that you will get to it essentially here's my pothole today and

[0:55:40] I want to make sure citizens understand that every single council member has been very quick to react to their complaints it's just a matter of how quickly we can get to them because I know every City Council member up here has had phone calls relative to potholes and they have addressed it as quickly with you as they can it's just a matter of how quick we can get to it but everyone it's tried hard to communicate everybody's very responsive and again it's just it would get everything on a list and we get time just as soon as we can get there them so began to we want to encourage our citizens as well to continue to to let us know where those potholes are because again when I have those employees and they're working on specific potholes that have already been turned in we're not driving the streets every day and we don't see all of them all the time and so it's always good for us to know exactly where they are thanks for the great work Thank You Shane what has the materials turned out to is it still inconsistent or has it starting to level back again it's still a little inconsistent because everybody was without material for for three weeks and so it's still a little inconsistent but it's getting better we're able to actually keep some on the yard pretty pretty consistently now Thank You Shane Shane okay next up for discussion is infill development yeah yes quick update on this we have followed up as you requested Bob solace has had two three meetings that he's been part of I was part of one of those meetings and the gist of what we've heard is to bump that amount a little that we have proposed the other day and they in the meeting I was in they emphasized that both prongs of that attempt one financial side and one on the regulatory side both were critical in fact the meeting we were in they said the regulatory side was more important

[0:57:43] because in the uncertain factor the uncertainty associated with some of these areas meant that there was great risk there and they needed to be able to rely on predicted requirements when they were early in the project when they made all their financial commitments and so John James is working that and I believe he's already he had a meeting with his development task force and so we are prepared to continue our conversation we started the other day on the financial side John will let us know when he's ready to bring something to come on the regulatory side and we'll have we've got a little more later in the presentation about the financial resources that we would as propose as a the beginning of discussion about how to fund the financial side well I want to go back to the numbers that Tina presented earlier with the amount of increased property tax dollars that were added to our budget this year which are significant and this infill area is a big part of that because there's a baseline off of land value that is already in the property tax dollars but there's no structures and so we have a huge amount of property that is undeveloped in infill area one light at a time not a huge piece at a time but one light at a time and every time we put a new piece a new building on that property the city wins and as you can see from this budget presentation those you know that's a huge big change in what we're able to do and fund in terms of public safety as well as economic development opportunities because of those increased tax dollars so we want to keep pushing that opportunity from regulatory costs money we got to make sure we're not getting in the way of

[0:59:44] development and then making sure that we allow for infill to happen and don't deep decrease the the opportunity based off of excessive costs we'll be seeking your direction later on in the presentation when we talk about we've got a little placeholder for some money to fund the financial side and at that time we'll be seeking your direction for how quickly you want it brought back okay thank you very much next anyway I should say any questions or comments you'll ask him it later on the presentation okay okay so next up is River Bank stable stabilization and I believe Rick's prepared to speak a little bit to that this is an item that the council I think Kiton some last year you allocated some dollars we had some hotspots along the river that exist in numerous places you allocated some phone to address some of those a couple of those were here near the convention center that that have been addressed there's two others that are currently we had to get engineering done for and those are out to bid those bids will be back in on the 17th of September but basically it's looking like for the most basic of fix it's gonna cost about $500 per foot so when you get to those hotspots you've got an investment and that's not counting the fact that at the end of the day we need to stabilize all of the bank not just the hot spots so so they don't become hot spot exactly exactly so we've got places along the river and we've got pictures if y'all want to see them but you know the sidewalks are fixing to fall off once the sidewalk falls off it's this far from the road so you know it's more major than just we're stabilizing the river it's jeopardizing property and roads and and so forth but I want to make sure we look at the two hotspots but then look at the areas that could become hotspots so we don't cover that we have in our inventory after we address those initial immediate ones that were we did a analysis from Johnson dam from Oaks Oak Street all the way to

[1:01:52] this bridge here after you passed the conventions that are on concho and I've got 20 hotspots in that area and and if I just assess those at the lowest amount at $500 a foot now some of those are if you were gonna save trees and so forth you have two retaining walls which are more expensive than 500 dollars a foot so just initially you're looking at $800,000 just to address those 20 that we have already documented and identified so it's bigger than that but that gives you sort of an idea of what we're now what we try to do is as any grant dollars come available then we try to leverage anything that council allocates for us with some grant dollars last year we applied for tcq ones we did not get those but our intent is to keep trying because sometimes we can double those dollars or sometimes even more than that well and once again the positive thing is we got a lot of rain last year but that rank read some issues of washing away yeah it really impacted those hot spots so I'm glad you've looked at all of those and put together a plan for us okay great next consideration is development service software that would be at an amount of ninety seven thousand dollars for year one and I did ask John James to be prepared to speak to this one so that he can kind of give you an idea of what kind of upgrades and improved efficiencies that would create for the development community this is important to me because we have put the software in place but that software but the time I got in place was old and we need to make sure that we're as customer friendly as possible and without these upgrades we're going to end up looking it's not it's going to complicate it not simplify the process and I think this takes time off of staff and it certainly makes the process faster quicker for projects so this to me is something that is very needed so John we've we've also

[1:03:59] seen with the software we have that's one of the things that's helped us reduce commercial plan reviews in half from like 25 days to about 12 or 15 days on average and so this it is helping but as you mentioned the software that we purchased was a one-time purchase and so a piece of that software is about to phase out the company will no longer be supporting it and so what this does it not only upgrades the software to the newest version this will include future upgrades so the maintenance fees as you see it's a multi-year maintenance fees will include every time they upgrade the software will get the newest version so we won't be in the same position five years from now we're okay now we've also got a five year old software it'll be continuously updating have you gotten positive feedback from the community on this software program once it was installed yes absolutely the folks that are using it and we're continuing to roll out more pieces of it but the folks that are using it for a commercial plan review particularly have been pleased with it it's especially helpful although our local guys use it as well but those folks from out of town who are developing here who maybe they're engineers in Dallas the fact that they can submit their plans online have us review them online the email comments that's really been helpful okay do have questions from Council yes Billy is that the increase in the GIS expenditure no no ma'am that amount has not been included in the proposed budget that you have before you we'll talk about a funding source and a funding proposal that implements some of these considerations at the end of the presentation so none of these things Billy are included in what has just been presented these would be over and above what you've seen so far do i sum yes Tom a lot of material I'm talking about the

[1:06:02] development of cities municipalities a lot of what we see is down if a blockchain technology and you read about people that can take departments of 15 or 20 down to three or four just by utilizing and capturing that technology granted it takes three to four years to face it in and you wonder well I'm displacing 75% of my employees but I mean that's gonna be the wave of the future with blockchain are we even looking at that as some future things not at this point I'm not aware of any development may not even apply that was a review type software that's looking at that I'm sure these you know these companies are probably looking at it but nothing like that has has been rolled out into this type of software this does save on staff time in their development time from the outside in so no further questions okay thank you next up is body cameras for the police department we the current proposal we have is at a cost of 1.6 million dollars and we will be proposing an alternate funding source for that and at the end of the presentation I don't know if chief Carter wants to come up and talk about better Malini Ansel we've been working on this project for about four years now so many times you see out there these critical incidents and the departments that didn't have a body camera would have been facing substantial lawsuit it's three prong approach not just the body camera but it's always also the Taser and it's also the video equipment they go into cars we currently have a hundred and ten mark units at this time the technology and their dates back to 2003 it's outdated for the last several years we've actually been shopping on eBay for parts and cameras to keep these units going so anyway

[1:08:07] September meeting we'll have an in-depth presentation open up if you have any questions we will continue to look for grant right for this ongoing that's correctly applied for a fun one fellow an autograph at this time for body cameras great you do lie yeah Lane would you like sure pardon me can you touch on more of the taser taser portion of how critical that is on potential lawsuits again there's a bunch of features to this but if several officers respond to a call annotators deployed everybody's camera around there automatically goes off there are 76 tasers right now that we have deployed in the department we're probably spending anywhere from twenty to forty thousand dollars every year replacing those tasers with the program on the third year of the five year they come back and they were a place to taser to give you brand-new Tasers how many of our tasers are out of date and would probably not be covered by the company your own them all 76 they're deployed right now those dollars are included in this total cost chief gardener it'll cost roughly about eighteen hundred dollars a piece total cost would be over how many years or cost of Tasers of this concept this is a one-time cost it would be if you bought all the tasers that you want and all the body cameras the total cost is the 1 million 665 exclusive we trimmed that back from 1.9 we only give the officers that are actually making the majority to contact your street officers with the body cams your detectives right now we decided to hold off on to make that cost a little bit more absorbable okay would that be over a few years though of pay on point six is over five year period so roughly three hundred forty thousand dollars a year if you just looked at the body camera the in-car cameras along that system is anywhere from six to eight thousand dollars right now so just to replace those one hundred and ten cameras in the cars roughly eight hundred thousand we

[1:10:12] kicked the can down the road again and technology in 2003 there's some of those videos that we have in the end car you can't even make out a person to in feet away yeah do I have further questions or comments from chief Carter thank you great job expiration is of course the continuation of a peak hours ambulance the cost for that would be about two hundred sixty four thousand dollars we are recommending to fund this through the charity care reimbursement that we receive annually that program has been approached to be continued until 2022 and if you have any questions on this one for chief done I believe he is here as well he'll come forward just morning mayor council morning do I have questions or comments for chief done I wanted you to walk up here just to get the exercise I guess it's obviously it's explaining it so and is there remind me in this year's budget there is a purchase of a new ambulance chief I believe there is I think there's maybe two in there fiscal year nineteen well this money that's coming sorry the proposal I include yeah we include one ambulance every fiscal year yeah so there's one more yes ma'am those are replaced on a rotating basis mayor it just to make you know it's a public meeting we just want to make sure everybody understands the process and know it's inclusive in a budget what this is is the manpower to man those and make the hamlet runs it's not a capital call-call expense for an ambulance those are listed in the capital budget so that what this is is to pay the manpower to man that ambulance during that time frame when we make the most runs you know I would like to point like to point

[1:12:15] out as well as far as the ambulance replacements that many cost has gone up tremendously hasn't as far as replacing an ambulance and the new requirements that we have to meet they did two years ago the Department of Transportation Institute mandat new mandates on what has to be on those amla's and what has to be locked down because one of the incidents that caused that was that emiltt wreck out by Sterling City so they instituted new weight requirements and how everything is locked down in the back of the ambulance and it increased the cost of that significantly a little bit what $100,000 per ambient nearly doubled the cost of current Hamlin's force all right yes Billy on that last bullet chief recommend funding with charity care reimbursement can you say a little bit more about that that is the Medicaid supplemental money that we've been getting back from the either uninsured or Medicare Medicaid patients that we haul that the state of Texas reimburses us for we're projecting about 576 thousand dollars to be received in September of this year and so that would be over and above the amount that's needed last year we used I believe the remainder of the reimbursement to fund an additional ambulance and we actually purchased two ambulances and FY 19 Thank You Lane so this is the third year that we've had the peak ambulance request with the changes that we've gone through with the fee increases for the ambulance runs should we be looking at instead of having this as a consideration every time just to include that as a budgetary item and include it from now on what would that it's the 263 900 has that increased substantially over the past three years for just the overtime it

[1:14:18] goes up a little bit at a time because what that is is we how we man that is with with overtime they sign up and they come in and they work that shift from nine to six so what this does is delay putting that seventh amell's into service which would cost the city six hundred seven thousand dollars per year this keeps us within a range that were not borderline killing fire trucks all the time to make those amell's us so basically this saves the city if we can continue this till we have to go to a seventh and once it saves the city three hundred and fifty to four hundred thousand dollars per year the process works it does it's a solution for now and again Lane I definitely understand what you're saying but this is really working at this point we do meet with the Chiefs the firefighters Association representatives and this is something that's really important to to those officers and it really is I'm just wondering why why we should always have a consideration item four when obviously it is working we just go ahead and include it and jitan has to keep it rolling well sorry I'm head Tina the reason that we're proposing it this way on an annual basis right now is that we do have that Medicare reimbursement and so we can use that one-time revenue source rather than using up some of your marginal marginal revenue and you are able to use the marginal revenue to do other things that you need to do with this it's easier to see it accounting wise to make it work budgetary wise yes yep okay Thank You chief done the next consideration would be for salary adjustments the cost of a two percent salary increase across general fund employees would be eight hundred seventy three thousand dollars the cost for a three percent increase would be 1.3 million dollars all right so but let's just regardless of those percentages what we're really going to be discussing is bottom line a dollar

[1:16:20] amount because these there will be married in merit reviews done and within those merit reviews the dollars will fluctuate in terms of percent increase relevant to that merit increase so we're really not saying that everyone would get a two percent increase what we are saying is that this consideration is for an eight hundred seventy three thousand dollar two hundred impact to the budget and within that we would end up having the merit raises approach yes ma'am so the cost of the two percent raise again is a 873,000 we would ask for counsel to direct staff to allocate that appropriately based on merit raises so the dollar amount you're correct would be set aside for that purpose okay I mean you know to mayor I've been having some conversations with Brian Kendrick we have some I don't know what else to call them except structural issues within our overall compensation plan over the organization and if I agree with you mayor if we would just start allocating dollar amount for them to use for salary increases and let them work out those details rather than us dictating that I think at some point it would allow Brian allow HR to begin to address some of these structural issues so you know at whatever point we're ready to do I would I would be glad to make that yes Billy actual issues we've got just within the classifications ability there are there are some positions that are just out of whack and it's just one of those things that has happened over time but councils and and this is not reflection on prior councils at all but when we just in my

[1:18:24] opinion when we just say give a X percent increase we are that we are really further just making that problem worse within those classifications because some of those classes with within the the structure those classifications need to be adjusted more than just with a percentage that we allocate to it so if we will allow the professionals in my opinion to take that dollar that stated dollar amount and start working within those classifications they can address those structural issues well you know I really can't answer because I think you can isolate some individual positions and say you know some of those may be at the upper end but some of them may be at the lower end as well Billy so it's I think it's scattered throughout the organization so if we would just say it makes more sense in my opinion to say we allocate this dollar amount and then they can they they can work out those details within within within the confines of the structure well then we have to assign a dollar amount anyway yes budgets dictated by dollars not percentages and so we have to assign a dollar amount to it and then it's within the conversations with human resources and upper management in terms of how those dollars are allocated but if you know those increases probably shouldn't even be up there it should simply be they have to be but it I understand where it came up with the numbers but the reality is is we're going to improve a dollar amount within that dollar amount we need to address all the human resource issues that exist that's bottom line es Marron I do agree with I just give us an opportunity to kind of work through some of those issues to develop

[1:20:25] what we feel is a structured plan some of us counsel well I wasn't really talking about didn't happen in one year Billy it's happening over time it's going to take several years to as it is on all the issues whether it is maintenance whether it is capital whatever it is and certainly human resources so what we try to do is do the best we can with the money we have and start to address the issues that's what we have to do yes Tom taking something and putting it back into the correct departments can hands on how they think it should be appropriate out allocated because we don't know specifically how each one of those people go so it's our job why we have human resources and city managers they work work through all those details and we know they can do it so alright next actually a good story to tell health insurance as you recall at the last meeting we're projecting a slight decrease to health insurance we're proposing to leave the amount that the employee pays for health insurance flat and include a two percent decrease to the city funded portion of health insurance and you'll see that again at the end of our presentation where that added to our marginal revenue amount and that's relevant to the 2 percent decrease to the presentation we saw last weekend city council correct yes ma'am okay this is just kind of to

[1:22:31] remind you that we'll be introducing our budget ordinance on September 4th and adopting our budget on September 17th so we do need your direction as you just mentioned earlier Mayor from this meeting to bring back a budget for you to adopt ok and here we get to you the calculator she and so we start with marginal revenue of 1.3 million dollars if we include a 2 percent across-the-board pay a salary increase those numbers are included there they'll add up to that $800,000 number that you saw earlier health insurance again you'll see it added to marginal revenue that's why it's in parentheses 200 just over $200,000 we have included an amount of $200,000 for infill development three hundred forty five thousand dollars for a river bank stabilization the ninety seven thousand dollars for the software for development services and please body cameras one third of that 1.6 million is that three hundred thirty thousand one hundred seventy two dollars but as we mentioned earlier we would propose an alternate funding source to fund the purchase of the body cameras did we talk about that alternative funding source today or do we wait tell us what I can issue as your night because it's I think it's hard to sign off on $330,000 over the budget under the budget but you have a source so let's talk about the source for funding of body cams so we do have the settlement proceeds that are now housed in one of our bond funds we cannot use those proceeds to pay for anything other than public safety equipment or needs that amount is 1 million dollars some interest income that has fallen to fund balance and both of the public safety bond issues that equates to just under $300,000 of course the and these are all funding sources for all of the public safety needs including the ambulance and peak hours so I just want to say that to clarify so five hundred seventy six thousand dollars is what

[1:24:34] we're projecting for that charity care reimbursement for the fire department and those are the main funding sources and that all adds up to just under 1.9 million dollars of course as I said we wouldn't use it all for the body cameras but we would propose using some of that amount to front-load kind of the purchase of the body cameras and then maybe spread the remainder out over the next five years or something like that if you want to talk about that today we can or mayor we could bring this back in a more in-depth presentation to kind of let you see and make decisions based on what the needs are I went up I'm fine with you presenting it at the next meeting and further discussion but I want to make sure that everyone understands that I'm sure council very much wants to address these body cameras with the Taser issues etc so there's a desire to support those requests and if we have alternative funding sources to take care of those issues I think we're all sure some supportive of doing it in that manner we just want to make sure that we say out loud that the body cams the tasers are a very important part of what we want to get taken care of at some level in this budget cycle well the PD will be presenting they'll have a presentation on the body cameras in the first meeting next month so that would be more appropriate anyway so they'll allow us to develop some options for City Council to consider as far as the funding source moving forward so we'll be prepared to present that information to City Council as well we don't want a hamper any of our public safety issues so that's an important part and we need to make sure they feel the support of council so that'd be the September 4th meeting on that subject will be the September 4th meeting you'll present a more formalized presentation on the alternative funding for body cams taser their public safety

[1:26:37] needs yes Pamela okay so with that do I have a question yes Tommy can we make a motion to do that subject to the presentation how do we make it so I'm not proposing to include that amount within this proposed budget so you would be if you give me direction it would be to fund everything except the body cameras in the proposed budget and then again we'll bring back that other item for consideration and if we need to include some amount in the budget we can discuss it at that point but if we can fund it all through other means and so be it you make I'll make that motion layer okay there's a motion on the floors or a second and there's a second by Harry you need to take a motion we're not taking a motion I thought we just said we needed a motion no we don't all right so what Tommy is recommending is is that we should not our heads yes to everything up there except the body cameras which were supporting as a conversation and we will review it and further depth in September fourth meeting we have direction right that's good you have directions we're good I believe chief Carter indicated earlier that they have applied for a fight he said a $500,000 grant yeah he mentioned that all right with that do you have the direction that you need to move forward Tina yes ma'am all right so what else do we need to cover today that's about all I have mayor again we'll be bringing that back on September 4th in addition to the budget ordinance if we have to make any changes to the budget that will allow us the time to make those changes before the second reading of the budget ordinance on September 17th and remember that September the 4th is a Wednesday it is not a Tuesday of next week so we won't be meeting on the normal Tuesday meeting date 830 September 4th everyone have a great Labor Day weekend thank you thank you as well thank you
