[2. Presentation and discussion on the 2022 Budget]
TECHNICAL ISSUES AND CALL THE WORKSHOP TO ORDER AND NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN FOR OUR DISCUSSION. WE ARE HERE TO BASICALLY RECEIVE INFORMATION FROM OUR BUDGET OFFICER.>> GOOD MORNING, JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS MORNING FOR THIS BUDGET WORKSHOP NUMBER THREE. AGAIN, WE ARE REALLY -- OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS, I HAD BEEN MEETING WITH EACH OF THE COURT MEMBERS INDIVIDUALLY TO TRY TO GET DIRECTION; HOWEVER, SINCE THE LAST WORKSHOP WAS CANCELLED WE WANT TO HAVE THIS PRESENTATION JUST SO WE CAN BE TRANSPARENT IN OUR BUDGET PROCESS AND KEEP THE PUBLIC INFORMED AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022.
JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS, IF WE CAN MOVE OVER TO PAGE 4.
ON PAGE 4 WE HAVE A SUMMERY WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING FOR FISCAL YEAR '22 BUDGET. WE RECEIVED THE ESTIMATED RESOURCES FROM THE COUNTY AUDITOR'S OFFICE.
ESTIMATING $237 MILLION RESOURCE AVAILABLE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022. THE MAJORITY WILL BE ATTRIBUTED TO INCREASE IN THE COLLECTION RATE THAT THEY ARE USING IN THEIR ESTIMATES FOR PROPERTY TAX.
THEY ARE GOING FROM A COLLECTION RIGHT IN FISCAL YEAR '21 TO 94% TO COLLECTION OF 96% FOR FISCAL YEAR '22.
HISTORICALLY OVER THE LAST SIX OR SEVEN YEARS WE HAD A COLLECTION IN EXCESS OF 96%. SO WE DO FEEL THAT ALL KNOW NOT QUITE CONSERVATIVE AS THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST, WE WELCOME THE CHANGE, AND I THINK IT SORT OF ALLIANCE MORE TO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
AS FAR AS BUDGET EXPENDITURES FISCAL YEAR 2021, ADOPTED AT 230.1 MILLION. WE ARE RECOMMENDING INCREASE OF 15.4 MILLION FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR AND EARMARKING 2.8 MILLION FOR TRANSFER OFFER IS I HAVE IT CAT OF OBLIGATIONS OF 2021 AND COURT APPROVED THE NOTICE TO INTENT TO ISSUE.
WE HAVE ALREADY POSTED THEM AS REQUIRED FOR STATUTE FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE WEEKS AND RIGHT NOW GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SELLING THOSE BONDS. NOT TO EXCEED $31 MILLION.
WE ARE ASKING $2.8 MILLION TO BE TRANSFERRED OUT FOR THE PAYMENT OF THAT DEBT SERVICE. A RECOMMENDED BUDGET OF $248.3 MILLION AND AN ESTIMATED SHORTFALL OF $10.8 MILLION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022. THIS IS A REDUCTION FROM THE $15 MILLION DEFICIT THAT WE HAVE IN FISCAL YEAR 2021.
FOR FISCAL YEAR '21 $11 MILLION THAT THE AUDITOR RECOMMENDED AND PROVIDED US TO THIS PAST TUESDAY.
SO WE DO ANTICIPATE TO HAVE A SMALL DEFICIT THIS YEAR OF ROUGHLY $4 MILLION. WHICH WE INTEND TO UTILIZE SOME OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN LOST REVENUE FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO FILL IN THAT GAP. AND WE ARE RECOMMEND TOGETHER COURT THAT WE USE THE AMERICAN AMERICAN RESCUE PLANS TO BE ABLE TO FILL IN THE GAP FOR FISCAL YEAR '22.
PAGE 5, WE DO HAVE A SUM OF THE REITEMS THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING FOR INCREASES ROUGHLY 2.2 MILLION FOR OPERATING EXPENSE INCREASES. THAT IS JUST GOES TO 10% OF WHAT WAS ACTUALLY REQUESTED. AGAIN, THE NEED IS FAR GREATER THAN THE RESOURCES WE HAVE AVAILABLE.
SO WE DO HAVE TO MAKE DUE WITH THE FUNS THAT WE HAVE AND ONLY RECOMMENDING 2.2 MILLION INCREASE FOR OPERATING EXP EXPENSES. WE ALSO HAVE 2.4 MILLION THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING FOR CO COURTHOUSE SECURITY.
THE SECURITY AT THE NEW COURTHOUSE.
WE HAVE OVER 300 -- CLOSE TO 300 DETENTION SELLS TO BE ABLE TO BE UTILIZED THERE AT THE COURTHOUSE AND NEEDING STAFF BOTH AT JAIL, THE DETENTION FACILITY ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND THEN IN EACH OF THE COURT RO ROOMS, DETENTION FACILITIES FOR EACH COURT TO SET A DATE OF CRIMINAL HEARINGS AND CRIMINAL CASES. FOR THE COUNTYWIDE MAINTENANCE PLAN FACILITIES MANAGEMENT IDENTIFIED A NUMBER BUILDINGS THAT ARE IN NEED OF REPAIR FOR BOTH ROOFS, HVAC SYSTEMS, AND OTHER MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED WITHIN THE BUILDINGS.
AGAIN DUE TO THE SHORTFALL WE DO HAVE, WE ARE RECOMMENDING WE START OFF THIS PLAN UTILIZING HALF A MILLION DOLLARS AND WILL GET US ONE OR TWO PROJECTS ONGOING AND THEN AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN FUTURE BUDGET YEARS TO BE ABLE TO BUILD UP INTO THIS MAINTENANCE PLAN. THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE A ROUTINE CHANGING OF SOME OF THESE SYSTEMS BOTH ROOFS, HVAC AND OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT ARE NEEDED THERE AT EACH OF OUR COUNTY FACILITIES. FOR THE NEW COURTHOUSE, WE ARE RECOMMENDING 1.7 MILLION FOR M & N EXPENSES.
[00:05:01]
THIS WILL INCLUDE PERSONNEL AS WELL AS INCREASE IN UTILITIES BECAUSE THE NEW SIZE OF THE COURTHOUSE.AND AS WELL AS THE SUPPLIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE NEEDED FOR CLEANING SUPPLIES AND, OF COURSE, MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS FOR THE DIFFERENT SYSTEM. THE ELEVATORS, THE CASE LATER AND HVAC SYSTEM. AS FAR AS ON PERSONNEL SIDE, WE ARE LOOKING AT RECOMMENDING -- CLOSE TO $1.6 MILLION FOR STEP INCREASE FOR -- FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE STEP INCREASES. CONTINUATION OF THAT PLAN.
WE ARE ALSO RECOMMENDING $700,000 IN NEW POSITIONS.
THESE INCLUDE SOME POSITIONS AS WELL THAT $17 017.
REQUEST OF $2 MILLION IN NEW POSITIONS.
AGAIN WE DID LOOK AT THIS BOTH HUMAN RESOURCES AND OUR OFFICE.
AND WE LOOKED AT THAT AND SORT OF MAKE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS.
WE DID PRO PROVIDE A DETAIL FOR THE COURT TO LOOK AT IN CASE IN A FUTURE WORKSHOP IF WE NEED TO MAKE AJUSTMENTS WE WILL CERTAINLY TAKE DIRECTION FROM THE COURT AT THAT TIME REGARDING THE COUNTY'S HEALTH INSURANCE.
WE EXPECT THE COUNTY ACE HEALTH INSURANCE COST TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE. WE DID SEE SORT OF A LULL DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE COVID PANDEMIC DUE TO -- DUE TO THE STOPPAGE OF ELECTIVE SURGERIES AND ELECTIVE PROCEDURES. WE EXPECT THAT TO NOW INCREASE AND WE ARE EXPECTING ROUGHLY -- WE ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT 9% ACTUAL INCREASES IN COST. RIGHT NOW WE ARE RECOMMENDING 5% AND WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER METHODS SUCH AS THE AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT THAT THE COURT APPROVED THIS PAST TUESDAY AS WELL AS THE SAVINGS THAT WE ARE SEEING FROM THE PRUDENT RX PROGRAM THAT THE COURT APPROVED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
WE DO EXPECT THOSE TO BE FAVORABLE AND TO BE ABLE TO HELP OFFSET SOME OF THAT INCREASE IN COST.
THEN, OF COURSE, $1.3 MILLION IN PERSONNEL ACTIONS THAT THE COURT ALREADY APPROVED SINCE ADOPTION OF THE LAST BUDGET.
SO THOSE DON'T NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS NEW BUDGET.
FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS, AGAIN, DUE TO THE DECLINE IN REVENUES AND FORFEITURE FUNDS, WE ARE HAVING TO TRANSFER SOME OF THE PERSONNEL THAT THE D. A. WAS COVERING FOR IF ITURES TO THE GENERAL AT $262,000. FOR RURAL FIRE COSTS, WE ARE RECOMMENDING A INCREASE IN THE RURAL FIRE BUDGET OF $700,000, THAT IS BASE ON JUST ACTIVITY WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. AGAIN, WE HAD RELATIVELY DRY SEASONS AND CALLS FOR MORE FIRES AND MORE RESPONSES.
WE ARE RECOMMENDING AN INCREASE THERE.
AND AN INCREASE TO THE GRANTS CASH MATCH.
COUNTY DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE GRANTS TO OFFSET SOME OF THE COUNTY COST AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY; HOWEVER, MOST OF THOSE GRANTS DO COME WITH A MATCH THAT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO PUT FORTH. TO WE HAVE SOME GRANTS THAT WE HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED THE GRANT MATCH AND RECOMMENDING FOR THE COURT TO INCREASE THAT GRANT MATCH -- GRANTS ROUTE 800,000. AND SMALLER INCREASES REGARDING OUR RETIREMENT RATE. THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES ALL CONTRIBUTE 7% BY STATUTE AND REQUIRED A ZERO PERCENT RATE OF RUN ON THEIR CONTRIBUTION AND GIVEN THE LOW INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT WE ARE CURRENTLY IN. THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ATTRIBUTE TO DIFFERENCES IN EARNINGS AND INTEREST EARNINGS.
ANOTHER ITEM THAT WE HAVE IS IN BETWEEN STEPS, WE REINSTITUTED THE CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION PROGRAM TWO YEARS AGO. WHEN WE -- WHEN WE INSTITUTED THAT, THERE WAS INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE IN BETWEEN STEPS THAT THE GAP WAS TOO WIDE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT RIGHT -- WHEN WE INSTITUTED THE PROGRAM, WE HAVE OVER $1 MILLION IN -- IN BETWEEN STEPS THAT IT WOULD COST US TO IMPLEMENT -- TO IMPLEMENT -- IT WOULD HAVE COST US OVER $1 MILLION FOR EVERYBODY AT A PARTICULAR STEP. AS THE YEARS HAVE GONE BY, PROMOTED THE -- AND RETIRE AND MOVE ON FROM THE COUNTY AND THE NEW ONES -- WE DO HAVE A NUMBER INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE IN BETWEEN STEPS AND WE RECOMMEND TO THE COURT THAT PROVIDE FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO PUT EVERYBODY AT THE STEP THEY NEEDED TO BE PUT IN.
THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE 476 DISTRICT COURT WHICH WAS APPROVED BY THE LEGISLATURE THIS LAST -- THIS LAST YEAR.
THAT DOES BECOME EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER OF NEXT YEAR.
[00:10:03]
SO WE DO HAVE THE PRORATED COST OF $281,000 TO FUNDS THE COURT PERSONNEL AND THE -- THE ST START-UP COST FOR THE COURT.AND THEN RECOMMENDING $250,000 FOR THE VEHICLE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. WE PUT A PAUSE ON THE VEHICLE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM THIS YEAR; HOWEVER, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE REINSTITUTE THAT AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE CURRENT FLEET AND MAINTENANCE OPERATING COST OF HAVING TO MAINTAIN AN OLD FLEET.
BASICALLY THIS WILL GET US CLOSER TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL OF THE COUNTY FLEET ON A ROTATION BASIS WHERE WE CAN BE ABLE TO MINIMIZE OUR REPAIRS COSTS AND BE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE THE TIME ON THE ROAD FOR THE EMPLOYEES.
THEN, OF COURSE, WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF POSITION REKLATION CLASSIFICATION. OVER 100,000 THAT WERE REQUESTED. WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF 34,000 OF THAT. AND THEN, OF COURSE, FUEL.
WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO THE COURT THAT WE INCREASE THE FUEL BUDGET FROM THE DEPARTMENTS TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $75,000.
THAT IS JUST BASED ON FLUCTUATING GASOLINE PRICES.
THAT MAKES UP THE 15.4 RECOMMENDED INCREASES THAT WE HAVE FOR THE GENERAL FUND. AND BASICALLY -- BASED ON THOSE -- AND THE DEBT SERVICE, IT WOULD LEAVE US AT A LITTLE OVER $10 MILLION FOR THE DEFICIT OF FISCAL YEAR '22 THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO THE COURT THAT WE UTILIZE SOME OF THE LOST REVENUES FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN TO BE ABLE TO COVER
THAT SHORTFALL. >> ARE WE ALLOWED TO ASK
>> OKAY. I WILL WAIT NULL FINISH.
>> OKAY. -- UNTIL YOU ARE FINISH.
>> OF COURSE, ROAD AND BRIDGES -- DO YOU WANT TO ASK ANY
QUESTIONS? >> WITH RESPECT TO THE '22 BUDGET, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY EXPECTING TO MOVE INTO THE NEW
COURT HOUSE, CORRECT? >> CORRECT.
>> WHEN IS IT THAT YOU ALLOCATED EXPENSES STARTING
WHEN? >> ALLOCATED EXPENSES ACTUALLY FOR THE WHOLE FISCAL YEAR. WE ARE EXPECTED TO START MOVING IN SOMETIME IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY TO MOVE INTO THE NEW COURTHOUSE; HOWEVER, LIKE SOME OF THE UTILITIES AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS, WE WILL ALREADY HAVE THEM ALREADY.
WE WILL GET SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION SOME TIME IN OCTOBER AND I DO ANTICIPATE THAT FOR UTILITIES AND SOME OF THE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS, WE WILL HAVE TO GET THOSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR EVEN BEFORE WE START MOVING IN.
>> EVEN THOUGH WE MAY NOT BE MOVING IN BY JANUARY 1, YOU ALLOCATED EXPENSES ON THE BASIS OF THE 12 MONTHS?
>> CORRECT. >> THE MOVING EXPENSES ARE
>> THE COST TO MOVE THE CO COURTHOUSE IS WHERE?
>> TO MOVE THE PERSONNEL. >> TO SWITCH FROM ONE CO COURTHOUSE TO THE OTHER. WHERE ARE THOSE EXPENSES.
>> ACTUALLY THOSE -- MOST OF THE NEW COURTHOUSE WILL HAVE ALL NEW FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT AND NO NEED TO MOVE FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT. WE DO HAVE JACOB'S RIGHT KNEW IS COORDINATING THAT MOVE MANAGEMENT.
SO MINIMAL ACTUAL MOVEMENT OF ITEMS FROM OLD ITEMS TO THE NEW ITEMS. IT WILL BE THE INDIVIDUAL AND ANY PERSONAL EFFECTS THAT WE MAY HAVE THAT WILL BE MOVED INTO THE NEW COURTHOUSE. WE DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY HUGE MOVING FEES AS FAR AS MOVING DESKS OR ANYTHING SINCE
EVERYTHING WILL BE BRAND-NEW. >>JUDGE CORTEZ: EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLD CO COURTHOUSE.
WILL WE HAVE ANY? >> WE WILL HAVE CONCERNING DEMOLITION AND THOSE WILL BE COVERED VIA CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION 2021. WE HAVE FUNDS ALLOCATED FOR THAT FOR THE MOVEMENT OF THE PORTABLE BUILDINGS AND THE DEMOLITION OF THE OLD STRUCTURE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
PARKING LOT. >>JUDGE CORTEZ: OKAY.
>> COMMISSIONERS, IF WE CAN THEN MOVE OVER TO PAGE.
>>JUDGE CORTEZ: BEFORE WE GO ON THE LAST ONE.
HOW MUCH OF THIS 5% INCREASE IN HEALTH INSURANCE IS INTENDED TO REDUCE THE DEFICIT WE ALREADY HAVE?
>> NONE IS INTENDED TO REDUCE THE DEFICIT.
BASICALLY AT THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR WE ARE PROJECTING THAT WE ARE AT A BALANCED BUDGET.
WE ALREADY REDUCED THE DEFICIT SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, BASICALLY FOR THIS CASE CAL YEAR.
IF EVERYTHING THAT WE ARE ABLE TO BREAK EVEN, WE SHOULD -- OR
>> MAINTAIN WHAT WE HAVE. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE -- TO REDUCE THAT DEFICIT TO ZERO. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INCREASE
[00:15:01]
THE FUND BALANCE BY THE 5%. WE WOULD NEED TO INCREASE IT FROM A LARGER AMOUNT FOR A FUND BALANCE, BUT GIVEN THE EXPENSES THAT WE HAVE, WE WOULD BE RECOMMENDING JUST TO BE ABLE TO STAY EVEN. ONE THING THAT WE WILL BRING BACK TO THE COURT RIGHT NOW, WE REQUESTED REPORTS FROM OUR INSURANCE CARRIER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE US FROM THE COUNTY'S MEDICAL PLAN HOW MUCH OF THOSE EXPENSES AND IN THIS FISCAL YEAR WERE ATTRIBUTED TO COVID-19 FOR EMPLOYEES WHO HAD TO BE HOSPITALIZED AND SEEK TREATMENT FOR COVID-19 AND THAT WAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUNDS TO PAY FOR THOSE MEDICAL EXPENSES AND THUS BE ABLE TO REIMBURSE OUR MEDICAL PLAN FOR THOSE EXPENSES.>>JUDGE CORTEZ: THE LAST QUESTION THAT I HAVE.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ELECTED OFFICIALS WERE GIVEN A RAISE?
>> THE LAST TIME WAS WHEN WE DID THE COST OF LIVING IN 2019.
I BELIEVE WE PROVIDED 3% TO ALL EMPLS INCLUDING ELECTED OFFICIALS. IN MEETING WITH HR, WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT AS WELL, LOOKING AT THE SALARIES FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS. THAT IS SOMETHING WE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT SORT OF, PUT THEM IN LINE WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. WE ARE CURRENTLY UNDERGOING THAT STUDY TO PROVIDE THAT FOR CONSIDERATION FOR NEXT FISCAL
>>. >> THE FOLLOWING PAGES 16-19 ARE DETAILS TO PAGE 5 MOVE TO PAGE 20 TO DISCUSS ROAD AND BRIDGE. PAGE 20 WE SHOW SIMILAR TO GENERAL FUND THE MAJORITY OF WHAT ROAD AND BRIDGE EXPENSE ALSO LOOK LIKE. WE HAVE ESTIMATED RESOURCES OF $21.8 MILLION FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE.
THAT IS INCLUSIVE OF THE $9.3 MILLION TRANSFER IN FROM GENERAL FUND. WE HAVE REDUCED THAT TRANSFER FROM $11 MILLION TO $9.3. GIVEN THE FUND BALANCE THAT THE AUDITORS WERE ESTIMATING WITHIN THE ROAD AND BRIDGE.
HISTORICALLY TRANSFER OUT $8.5 MILLION FROM GENERAL FUND TO ROAD AND BRIDGE; HOWEVER, TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR FISCAL YEAR '22. AGAIN THIS IS ONLY TO MAINTAIN THE LOWER LEVEL OF SERVICE AND NOT INCREASE OR PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THE TRANSFER IN OF ROUGHLY $9.3 MILLION.
WE HAVE PROJECTED INCREASES, ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPROVED SINCE THE ADOPTION OF THE LAST 2021 BUDGET.
AND HEALTH INSURANCE INCREASES, RETIREMENT RATE AND CLASSIFICATION TO THE TUNE -- TOTAL INCREASE OF $459,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR '22. AND TO $21.8 MILLION AND SLIGHT SURPLUS OF $35 MILLION FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE PAGE 21, WE HAVE THE ALLOCATION OF THE ROAD AND BRIDGE FUNDS.
TOTAL AVAILABLE RESOURCES $21.8 MILLION.
LESS THE COUNTYWIDE EXPENSES OF 1.3 MILLION.
LEAVES A BATH BALANCE OF $20.5 MILLION AVAILABLE FOR THE
PRECINCTS. >> CAN YOU ADVANCE THE SLIDE.
THANK YOU. >> WE ARE RECOMMENDING LEAVE AT LEAST 200,000 IN FUND BALANCE. NORMALLY WE WOULD REQUEST THAT NUMBER BE A LOT LARGER, CLOSER TO $2 MILLION.
GIVEN THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE WE DO NEED TO START BUILDING UP THE FUND BALANCE AS WELL, SLOWLY BUT SURELY. THAT WILL LEAVE AVAILABLE TO THE PRECINCT FOR PRECINCT OPERATION 20.3 MILLION.
WHICH THEN WILL BE DISTRIBUTED OF THE HISTORICAL DISTRIBUTION PERCENTAGES AS OUTLINED ON PAGE 21 AND PROVIDING THE PRECINCTS ROUGHLY ABOUT THE SAME LEVEL OF RESOURCES THEY HAVE FOR FISCAL YEAR 201. A SLIGHT INCREASE OF COUPLE THOUSAND BUT A MINUTE MILLION INCREASE PROVIDED TO THE PRECINCT. I DON'T KNOW.
JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ALLOCATION OF THE ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND? JUDGE, THAT WILL BE THE MAIN PRESENTATION I WANTED TO PRESENT ON THE GENERAL FUND AND THE ROAD AND BRIDGES AS WELL.
WE DID PROVIDE HISTORICAL REPORTS FOR YOUR REFERENCE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS,
[00:20:01]
DEFINITELY FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO MYSELF.AND WE WILL BE GLAD TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DOCUMENTATION OR ANY CLARIFICATION ON ANY ITEMS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
COMMISSIONERS, I DON'T KNOW IF THE COURT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WORKSHOP FOR NEXT WEEK AS WELL FOR FURTHER --
>> JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS, I RECOMMEND WE HAVE A WORKSHOP NEXT WEEK TUESDAY. TUESDAY NEXT WEEK WHILE NOT A COMMISSIONER COURT MEETING THERE IS A DRAINAGE DISTRICT THAT HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR THE SALE OF BONDS UNDER THE DISTRICT AND I THINK WE CAN -- NOT PIGGYBACK BUT SCHEDULE IT RIGHT AFTER THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT SO THERE CAN BE MORE DISCUSSION ON THE BUDGET BECAUSE MR. CRUZ --
>> WE WILL BE FILING THE PROPOSED BUDGET ON THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON THE 1ST. WE WILL SEEK APPROVAL TO FILE THE PROPOSED BUDGET AND HE WILL HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THE
ADOPTION ON THE 28TH. >> I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE HAVE -- OR AS MR. CRUZ IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE HAVE A WORKSHOP TUESDAY NEXT WEEK AND WE CAN DO IT RIGHT AFTER THE -- THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT MEETING. AND IT IS AN AFTERNOON MEETING IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN. I BELIEVE 1:30.
AND DO IT RIGHT AFTERWARDS. >> JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, REACH OUT
TO US. >>JUDGE CORTEZ: THAT CONCLUDES OUR WORKSHOP.
