[2. 82357 Presentation and discussion on the 2022 Budget]
PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE 2022 BUDGET.>> AGAIN, IF WE TURN TO PAGE 4, IS THE SAME SUMMARY WE HAD. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF CHANGES.
THERE WAS A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL PERSONAL REQUESTS WE'VE HAD BUT REALLY, JUST A SLIGHT CHANGE TO THE BOTTOM LINE AND IS STILL PROJECTED FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR WHICH WE ARE RECOMMENDING THE USE OF [INDISCERNIBLE] TO BRIDGE THAT GAP.
WE DO HAVE TWO DEPARTMENTS WE STILL NEED TO MEET WITH REGARDING SOME OF THE PERSONAL REQUESTS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE COURT.
WE WILL BE MEETING WITH THEM MYSELF AND MY STAFF ALONG WITH THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT AND MAKE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO INCLUDE THOSE, ANY RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE THOSE AND WE WILL SEND YOU A SUMMARY OF ANY CHANGES TO THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS PACKET AND IT'S BASICALLY AN IDENTICAL REPRESENTATION OF WHAT WE HAD LAST WEEK. I DO HAVE ONE OTHER ITEM THAT I WANT TO BRING TO THE COURT REGARDING SALARIES WHICH IS ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS I'VE HAD WITH SOME OF THE COURT MEMBERS WHICH WOULD BE WE ARE RECOMMENDING WE WOULD PROVIDE A COST-OF-LIVING FOR THE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THOSE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE PREMIUM PAY AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ADJUSTMENT SINCE 2019.
AND THEN IN 2016 WILL BE PROVIDED WE REQUESTED THAT THEY OPT OUT OF THE COST OF LIVING AND A NUMBER OF THEM DID AND ELECTIVE OFFICIALS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STEP INCREASES AS OTHER EMPLOYEES ARE SO WE WOULD MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION TO THE COURT TO PROVIDE THAT FIVE PERCENT COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE COURT WOULD
LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT >> IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS THERE IS A GRIEVANCE FROM SOME I THINK WE DON'T WANT TO GET TOO FAR BEHIND FIVE YEARS IS UP. THAT'S A LONG TIME TO WAIT FOR LITTLE COST INCREASE. ALSO, THE ELECTED OFFICIAL WILL NOT INCLUDE THE DISTRICT
JUDGES, CORRECT? >> IT WOULD NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE JUDGES [INDISCERNIBLE]
>> IT'S NOT ALL ELECTORATE OFFICIALS.
AND GREAT PLAN THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
THEY ALSO MOVE UP AND STEP BASED ON THEIR YEARS IN OFFICE, SO THOSE ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE AND WE'VE MADE SOME FOR SOME OF THE ELECTRIC -- ELECTED OFFICIALS PICK THIS WOULD BE FOR ALL OF THE OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS. I KNOW MY OFFICE AND HR ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW AT LOOKING AT DOING A STUDY FOR NEXT YEAR BASED ON OUR PRELIMINARY FINDINGS, WE ARE SEVERELY UNDER WHAT SOME OF OUR COMPARABLE COMPANIES ARE AFFORDING TO THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS WHICH IS RIGHT AS WELL WE MADE THAT RECOMMENDATION TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FIVE PERCENT AND BE ABLE TO BRING THAT TO THE COURT NEXT YEAR TO SEE HOW WE WANT TO
ADDRESS THOSE DISPARITIES. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I ANYONE?
WHAT'S THE REMAINING TIMELINE ON THE BUDGET? >> WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER WORKSHOP ON THE 21ST DURING OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING AND I WILL POST FOR WORKSHOP RIGHT AFTER THAT AS WELL IN CASE THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE THE COURT WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER WE
[00:05:01]

WE WILL FILE THAT AT THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE, AUDITOR'S OFFICE AND DOOR COUNTY WEBSITE FOR REVIEW AND INSPECTION BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND THEN WE WILL HAVE THE ADOPTION ON TUESDAY THE 28TH, WHICH WILL BE A 2:00 MEETING. WE WILL NEED FOR MEMBERS OF THE COURT PRESENT FOR THAT MEETING, BECAUSE AGAIN, WE WILL BE ADOPTING THE TAX RATE AND FOR THE LEVY OF A TAX, WE DO NEED FOR MEMBERS PRESENT. TO BE ABLE TO VOTE ON THE SETTING OF THE TAX RATE.THAT'S AT 2:00. >> ON THE 28TH? >> THE 28TH.
>> DID WE ALREADY SET THAT DATE? >> YES.
THAT'S ALREADY SET AND IT'S BEEN PUBLISHED. >> AND THE REASON IS IN THE AFTERNOON, IT'S THE FOURTH TUESDAY OF THE MONTH AND THAT IS THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED COMMISSIONERS COURT MEETING, AND THOSE ARE IN THE AFTERNOON. DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND CALL
EVERYBODY -- >> YES BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE. >> WHAT DAY IS THAT?
