| Good afternoon, Don Law, Director of Operations. First item I have is a request for an encumbrance from the Edit Fund 1112 forty | 00:02:57 | |
| 4008. | 00:03:02 | |
| Capital improvements it's to for a contract with Upton Pry for the ML Rice building of 23,044 Seven. | 00:03:08 | |
| 2nd. | 00:03:19 | |
| I have a motion a second for 1A. | 00:03:20 | |
| Any questions for Don? | 00:03:23 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:03:27 | |
| Carries. | 00:03:30 | |
| Request additional preparation where this is finalizing our ARP funding and the movements that were done at your regular meeting. | 00:03:32 | |
| There are still some a couple additional amendments that had to take place in that fund. We're asking for additional appropriation | 00:03:39 | |
| of 58,000 three 4072 cents in open sense road construction. | 00:03:45 | |
| And in bridge 5100 and $66,118.94. | 00:03:52 | |
| I'm over. | 00:04:00 | |
| 2nd. | 00:04:03 | |
| Motion and a second for one. | 00:04:04 | |
| Discussion, I do have a question. So the balance and that looks like it's 356, but we're appropriating 244. Is there a balance | 00:04:06 | |
| left in that ARPA account there shouldn't be at the end of after these? | 00:04:14 | |
| Requested actions there shouldn't. They should all be. It is a should, it will all be appropriated. | 00:04:22 | |
| This is combined with ones we've already done, yes. | 00:04:28 | |
| And then not OK. | 00:04:33 | |
| OK, OK, Thank you. Our commissioners goal would be the. | 00:04:36 | |
| I think as yours is, they have all the money appropriate. | 00:04:40 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:04:46 | |
| All in favor of 1B say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:04:49 | |
| C is a transfer. These are projects have been completed and. | 00:04:53 | |
| Paddings had leftover residual funds the transferring out of election machines $1910.00 Jury system 6000 Floyd Knobs water 94,000 | 00:04:59 | |
| five 7853 lost revenue FTR system 55125 dollars election docket $729.16 and then that should. | 00:05:12 | |
| Then be transferred to bridge 5100 and 3742 dollars and 69 seconds. | 00:05:25 | |
| 2nd. | 00:05:35 | |
| I have a motion and a second for 1C. | 00:05:36 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:05:39 | |
| I do have one more question. | 00:05:41 | |
| It's my understanding that the Bridge 51 is a matching. There's a matching funds there. When those matching funds come back in, | 00:05:44 | |
| where would they go to? We got to pay it up front, right? And we're using the ARPA monies to pay it up front. | 00:05:53 | |
| At the last meeting, I explained that because of a different a supplement that was sent by the US Treasury, the guidance regarding | 00:06:03 | |
| the the federal fund projects. | 00:06:08 | |
| There was supplanting and some supplementing and the commissioners decided to move do these different actions with Bridge 51 and | 00:06:14 | |
| Old Benson's Road Hill. | 00:06:20 | |
| The slide. | 00:06:27 | |
| In order to make sure that come 2026 you wouldn't be paying back potentially the Bridge 51 project. | 00:06:28 | |
| So. | 00:06:35 | |
| At the end of the day. | 00:06:37 | |
| Go ahead. At the end of the day, there will not be any ARPA funds used for Bridge 51. That's why we're making these. That's why | 00:06:39 | |
| we're, that's why we're making these movements. | 00:06:45 | |
| In the fire is to reimburse we're. | 00:06:52 | |
| We're in the process of reimbursing. | 00:06:54 | |
| ARPA back the funds that were spent. | 00:06:57 | |
| And using 9162 County Road and Bridge bond funds. | 00:07:02 | |
| Four Bridge. Bridge 50. | 00:07:07 | |
| We're in the process of doing that. Is that something that's coming? Yeah, we're doing the last part. | 00:07:13 | |
| Today, because we just appropriated 166 and a 103200, those lines right now are in the red. So we are, we are, we're getting those | 00:07:19 | |
| back to zero. You had already spent the money on those. We spent the money on that for the right of way acquisition and one of | 00:07:27 | |
| those right away acquisitions was over $800,000 because it's a full taking of property. | 00:07:36 | |
| We're we're a million. | 00:07:47 | |
| Into and rival acquisitions for this project. | 00:07:49 | |
| But we had funds. | 00:07:53 | |
| And that's just employee county. No, that's both. We have the commissioners are responsible for bridge, all bridges. | 00:07:55 | |
| Whether they go, whether they're insert. | 00:08:05 | |
| I can get, I can really confuse you or I can really confuse you on East West NS statue on who's responsible. | 00:08:08 | |
| But for the most part. | 00:08:17 | |
| County commissioners in this situation are responsible for land acquisition on both sides. | 00:08:19 | |
| I'm sure you've said it before, I just, but that's, that's part of that's part that's the part of the statutory responsibilities | 00:08:28 | |
| of the commissioners when it comes to bridges is that they have. | 00:08:33 | |
| There's two, there's two directional east West type or east north for county's boarding certain size and county's board and other | 00:08:39 | |
| sides and I'm now totally boards you with that because that's simple, but no, it's county government, but the process being is | 00:08:46 | |
| what we're doing today is cleaning up. | 00:08:52 | |
| The bridge 51 so that the county would not have any liabilities for ARP funds being paid back. | 00:09:01 | |
| On something that during the state border accounts or federal audit says that's a question. | 00:09:09 | |
| These, these actions allow us to fully utilize all our funds without getting into trouble in the future because what we're doing | 00:09:15 | |
| is we're trading out those. So at the bottom, at the end of the day, what are we using the ARPA funds for if we're not using it | 00:09:20 | |
| for Bridge 51? | 00:09:25 | |
| Rd. | 00:09:33 | |
| Slide project going up the hill. | 00:09:34 | |
| As as the majority of that and the 808 hundred thousand for the building. | 00:09:38 | |
| For the building project. | 00:09:43 | |
| So this is just magical numbers so. | 00:09:44 | |
| We're using it for the old Vintage Rd. project. Is that a matching project? Local project? So you're you're matching money? | 00:09:50 | |
| You're we have an 8020 match. | 00:10:02 | |
| Right, right. That's what I was. That was my original question. Yes. When that comes back, that will all be put into. | 00:10:06 | |
| 90 Probably 9130 or 9162, so that will be used for the part of the local match for construction. | 00:10:15 | |
| Because we still have to match the we have a $5,000,000 cost estimate. | 00:10:23 | |
| Right now. | 00:10:29 | |
| So we have at least have have to have $1,000,000. | 00:10:32 | |
| Ready in September to provide to end I as a local management. | 00:10:35 | |
| OK. | 00:10:43 | |
| So the monies are going back into the same project. | 00:10:44 | |
| All right. Any further discussion on one? | 00:10:50 | |
| All in favor say aye. Any opposed? | 00:10:54 | |
| 1C carries. | 00:10:57 | |
| These are transfer from the County Road bridge projects. That's our bond project. | 00:11:00 | |
| That's from Incense of Hill Rd. slide of 100. | 00:11:07 | |
| $4972.44 to Bridge 51. | 00:11:10 | |
| So move. | 00:11:18 | |
| 2nd. | 00:11:21 | |
| Have a motion and 2nd for 1D. So you know I have another question. | 00:11:22 | |
| This is just circling back around, connecting the dots, get everything in place. I understand. | 00:11:28 | |
| And I'm sorry, I wasn't at the last meeting and was at a place where I could not. | 00:11:34 | |
| Have called in but and so I'm. We're probably backtracking just for me. | 00:11:38 | |
| I'm here all day. Well, thank you, Don. I appreciate that. | 00:11:44 | |
| We're decreasing, you just told me we're going to use it for the Ovensons Rd. slide, but we're decreasing that amount and we're | 00:11:49 | |
| increasing the 51 seems backwards to me, different fund. | 00:11:55 | |
| So this N 8903 which is American Rescue Plan. | 00:12:03 | |
| The county spent $1.2 million. | 00:12:08 | |
| In Bridge 50. | 00:12:11 | |
| To reimburse all that money, we took money out of 9162, which is our bond. | 00:12:13 | |
| And so. | 00:12:20 | |
| We still had when we did our preparation at your meeting, first meeting in December. | 00:12:23 | |
| We had $1.1 million. | 00:12:29 | |
| This this this. | 00:12:32 | |
| 1100 and 4972. | 00:12:33 | |
| Has to be transferred so then that can be reimbursed. Go back over to AARP funds. | 00:12:38 | |
| I think Danny sort of answered the question. This is in the County Road bridges, so you're. | 00:12:45 | |
| OK. | 00:12:54 | |
| OK. | 00:12:57 | |
| Maybe I'll speak with you after the meeting and so I can get things straight in my head. I'm going to give you the same | 00:12:58 | |
| explanation. I'm not. I'm not going to ask for an explanation. I'm going to ask for a spreadsheet, obviously, that shows me the | 00:13:04 | |
| balance in these accounts for each of those projects. | 00:13:10 | |
| Can you just do that for me? | 00:13:17 | |
| I can try, I'll do my best. | 00:13:19 | |
| Yes, I would be happy to provide you with a line. | 00:13:22 | |
| Budget because all of these movements are going to happen inside of our financial system. | 00:13:26 | |
| OK. And I can send you a line budget that will it's titled by the project and shows you how much money wound up in that line | 00:13:30 | |
| that's. | 00:13:34 | |
| Perfect that I think that will just help me be clear about what is where. | 00:13:38 | |
| OK. Thank you. Thank you. | 00:13:43 | |
| And one day, we're going to learn how to do that ourselves. | 00:13:48 | |
| Yes, ma'am. That's awesome. I'm ready. | 00:13:51 | |
| Yeah, all right. Anymore discussion on 1D. | 00:13:55 | |

| together compliance policy for reimbursing restricted and unrestricted funds and uses. This just reimburses the Levins will | 00:14:50 | |

| of 58,000 from capital project drainage to reimbursement. | 00:15:53 | |
| So move what's happening? | 00:16:03 | |
| For H and I8I is the still for that. That's one 25,000. | 00:16:05 | |
| Except for H and I or just H. | 00:16:11 | |
| Sky page. | 00:16:14 | |
| I just described age. So I was the reimbursement part of it eyes, the eyes of reimbursement as well. So. | 00:16:16 | |
| Second H and I, we have a motion to 2nd. | 00:16:30 | |
| Any discussion questions for Don? | 00:16:36 | |

| Move to approve 1K. | 00:17:19 | |
| Second motion and a second for 1K. | 00:17:22 | |
| That sounds like batteries. | 00:17:27 | |
| That battery back up. | 00:17:29 | |
| You don't know that's that's usually about the e-mail. | 00:17:32 | |
| Any discussion for 1K? | 00:17:37 | |
| All in favor say aye. Any opposed? | 00:17:42 | |
| That's perfect. | 00:17:45 | |
| OK. L is additional appropriate additional appropriation for the Southern Indiana tourism proceeds, that's a pass through bond | 00:17:47 | |
| that the county has as the fiscal agent for the tourism Bureau. | 00:17:55 | |
| And that is for bond payment? | 00:18:03 | |
| The town of Clarksville and then the county so. | 00:18:06 | |
| The county's portion of that grant, which was the most. | 00:18:11 | |
| Nova Park Whistle Stop. | 00:18:14 | |
| So that's a total appropriation 135 thousand 96853. | 00:18:16 | |
| Some of. | 00:18:24 | |
| I'll second it with the question. You have a motion a second. Go ahead, clutch them. | 00:18:28 | |
| Tell me why we're paying Clarksville. | 00:18:34 | |
| This is a pass. The tourism Bureau has a grant program and as part of the grant program they asked municipalities to be the fiscal | 00:18:36 | |
| agent. It's a pass through grant, but as physical agent we get a. | 00:18:44 | |
| I believe this was several years ago about a 10. | 00:18:54 | |
| 10% bonus on our grant. So we were a grant recipient from the tourism Bureau and we took on the responsibility of being the pass | 00:18:58 | |
| through agent so. | 00:19:04 | |
| This fund has paid out. | 00:19:10 | |
| To the city of Jeffersonville. I believe the city in Albany, Clarksville is one that has not. | 00:19:12 | |
| Appropriated or requested or claimed their funds yet so that. | 00:19:21 | |
| This is funds generated through tourism revenue from hotel tax. They have different calls. I think they're just about in the | 00:19:24 | |
| middle of one right now, so. | 00:19:30 | |
| So how are we going, We're going to be the fiscal agent forever or just another bonds complete and then and I believe we're in | 00:19:36 | |
| year 2 or 3, it's a 10 year bond. | 00:19:42 | |
| So I think this is the end of year. | 00:19:49 | |
| So primarily what what our responsibility is, is to send a letter to the tourism Bureau to send us a check. | 00:19:54 | |
| Deposit that check, turn around and appropriate funds for the bond, and then pay. | 00:20:01 | |
| And we got 20,000 additional grand finance. | 00:20:09 | |
| Clarksville's amount is. | 00:20:14 | |
| Higher because they have more. | 00:20:16 | |
| They received a high they they had not drawn their finances and that's two years worth on their. | 00:20:18 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:20:25 | |
| All in favor of 1L say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:20:28 | |
| Hey M, these are transfers. | 00:20:34 | |

| Q is a request for an DE obligate $219.53. | 00:21:20 | |
| $538. | 00:21:25 | |
| Form open soon as Rd. slide and that is in the County Road and bridge. | 00:21:27 | |
| And the reason for that? | 00:21:32 | |
| Is so that. | 00:21:34 | |
| Part of moving these funds around to make sure that AARP funds are secure. There wasn't. | 00:21:36 | |
| And basically it was $219. It was going to be shown as a. | 00:21:44 | |
| Appropriation that just needed to go back. | 00:21:50 | |
| And as cash. | 00:21:53 | |
| Us to approve. | 00:21:58 | |

| privately, but we gave Don, made him one of our honorary sheriff's policy members. Just so you know, for all his service he's done | 00:23:58 | |
| in the county, I worked with him for 12 years as a commissioner when he first started and all his service and time he does for the | 00:24:04 | |
| Floyd County, we gave him an honorary sheriff policy award member basically. So just so you know, so that's awesome. | 00:24:10 | |
| Thanks for doing that. | 00:24:17 | |
| Welcome. Thank you. | 00:24:20 | |
| The first one is just a transfer to cover our overtime shortage in the jail lid fund. | 00:24:25 | |
| We tried to be as fiscally responsible as we can with that particular fund. | 00:24:31 | |
| And we just ended up a little short in the overtime. | 00:24:37 | |
| Move to approve 2 a second. | 00:24:42 | |
| Motion a second for 2A. | 00:24:44 | |
| I have a question. | 00:24:47 | |
| Are we? | 00:24:48 | |
| Now, we're still in the red here, right? | 00:24:52 | |
| Cash balance wise? | 00:24:56 | |
| What do you mean cash balance wise versus what? | 00:24:58 | |
| Well, it. | 00:25:03 | |
| It would have to go back to a conversation during the budget hearing process back in 23 for 2024. | 00:25:05 | |
| What we saw was I. | 00:25:12 | |
| I can't remember who I was there, but I remember a little bit about the conversation. | 00:25:15 | |
| It was shared that the jail lit estimated revenue was not going to support at that time the. | 00:25:19 | |
| Appropriations that were blessed during the budget adoption process. We had a lot of pending items that are additional revenue | 00:25:28 | |
| sources for the jail lit fund. | 00:25:34 | |
| Most of those came true. Most of those did hit, which is why we only, if you recall back in July, I think Baker Tilly projected | 00:25:40 | |
| about $800,000 deficit to the cash balance in the jail lid fund. | 00:25:46 | |
| We did our, we did our the best we could to be fiscally responsible. And I think if you remember, I project it's going to be about | 00:25:53 | |
| 100,000. | 00:25:57 | |
| So in saying that what we what we were able to identify as recently as November of 23 DLC allowed the sheriff to bill for any DLC | 00:26:01 | |
| inmates who are after sentenced, they are continued to be housed in our jail until they are transported to their resident | 00:26:09 | |
| facility. | 00:26:17 | |
| So that generated a significant number, our significant value. However, just recently we became aware through the Indiana | 00:26:26 | |
| Sheriff's Association that IDLC has apparently run short on funds. So they quit paying us. We've reached out to them significant | 00:26:35 | |
| number of times, but we have an estimate of about $124,000 that they owe us for #1 housing those inmates and for. | 00:26:44 | |
| Transporting federal inmates to. | 00:26:55 | |
| Facilities. | 00:26:58 | |
| Which are all allowable expense revenues to be? | 00:26:59 | |
| Refunded. | 00:27:04 | |
| Excuse me, back into the jail, live from. | 00:27:06 | |
| So we're 180. | 00:27:08 | |
| $3000 short. I believe in the fund. This says 178. | 00:27:11 | |
| 179,000 if you're rounding, OK, OK. So roughly in that number, if you take the 124 payable plus the 40, yeah, we ended up, oh, | 00:27:15 | |
| that's just in the same, that's a further discussion item down on how we're going to rectify that. | 00:27:23 | |
| Just to clarify, these two transfers are specific to zeroing out and or bringing above 0 lines within the fund has nothing to do | 00:27:34 | |
| with the cash balance in the fund. This is so easy. close out the fund for the fiscal year. If you don't use line transfers, we | 00:27:39 | |
| can't close out the funds. | 00:27:45 | |
| Think we can't have a negative balance in this? | 00:27:51 | |
| Transfers, clean up those lines. Got you. This is within the fun. Yes ma'am. | 00:27:57 | |
| So these two transfers, all they do is clean up the lines within the fund. | 00:28:09 | |
| To do with the fund balance itself, OK. | 00:28:13 | |
| OK. | 00:28:15 | |
| So OK. | 00:28:16 | |
| I'm I'm there now we have a motion. We hit a motion second. OK, any further discussion? | 00:28:18 | |
| All in favor of a say aye. | 00:28:25 | |
| Hi, any opposed? | 00:28:28 | |
| That zeroes that one out. | 00:28:31 | |
| Item B is the same thing. It was a. | 00:28:35 | |
| Computer supplies and then the telephone is really our air cards that are. | 00:28:37 | |
| In the officers vehicles, it's just the price increases and we didn't budget for it. We had some additional funds available in our | 00:28:42 | |
| computer supplies which we kept in advance and so that we could apply to this particular item for the overrun, again zeroing out | 00:28:48 | |
| the negative line balance in the air card line. | 00:28:54 | |
| Motion to Approve to be Motion and 2nd for to be any questions. | 00:29:03 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:29:10 | |
| That carries. | 00:29:13 | |
| Now the jail deficits. | 00:29:14 | |
| Do we need to talk about D before we talk about C? Because that is that going to be they're they're yeah, they're going to be | 00:29:18 | |
| working together. Just just get into it. Well, if I may, there was never a budget set for the workers compensation in the jail lit | 00:29:23 | |
| fund. | 00:29:28 | |
| I'm not sure. Previously, I think it all been handled in the benefits fund. And so wherever it was managed from what we didn't pay | 00:29:35 | |
| for last year, what we had excess funds in 2023 I guess. | 00:29:42 | |
| So we were able to incorporate that payment in 23, so. | 00:29:48 | |
| Either did a last minute or it was right at the first of the year. | 00:29:54 | |
| And we haven't accounted for this in the 25 budget either. No, Sir, we have not. | 00:29:59 | |
| So everybody knows going forward. | 00:30:05 | |
| Just to read onto the record, we're to add on to the workers comp. | 00:30:09 | |
| In a total because I'm looking I'm. | 00:30:14 | |
| Right now, and we do have the Treasurer's office watching for that, hopefully open it today or tomorrow. If it does, it lowers the | 00:30:17 | |
| amount by about $124,000 which would be great. | 00:30:22 | |
| But as of right now, if you add in the $80,000 for workers comp, the total is 260-7450 and $0.10. | 00:30:27 | |
| 267 Four. | 00:30:42 | |
| And $0.10, so 267450.10. OK, I'm going to do D first because that makes sense to me. | 00:30:45 | |
| So I'm going to make a motion to approve the additional appropriation of 80 thousand 2/16/80 for workman's comp out of the fund | 00:30:53 | |
| 12:33. | 00:30:59 | |
| Oh. | 00:31:06 | |
| But. | 00:31:09 | |
| If we just put it in 1233, then we'll approve, approve the whole amount, right? Am I doing this backwards? OK. | 00:31:10 | |
| Deficit in the fund. Fund can't end in the negative and they haven't paid the workers comp. So there's two ways to do this. We | 00:31:20 | |
| just pay it out of the workmen's comp. | 00:31:25 | |
| Out of the General the general fund in the workmen's comp line. | 00:31:30 | |
| #2 We appropriated into the 12:33 and then pay from the general fund into the 12:30 and then appropriate. | 00:31:35 | |
| Yeah, it is. I like putting it into the 12:33 because. | 00:31:44 | |
| I think we should go ahead and put on the agenda item for for January. Oh, do we know what we should? | 00:31:50 | |
| We can appropriate an amount, though we're gonna have to. We're gonna have to talk about jail let for 2025 anyway because it's | 00:31:58 | |
| it's a deficit. It's already going in. | 00:32:03 | |
| And so I I have some thoughts about all that, but. | 00:32:09 | |
| Your preference, because you've got to do it. | 00:32:14 | |
| Yep, would be for the council to appropriate the amount needed to cover both and allow me to proceed it into the second. | 00:32:18 | |
| Runs on the same colitis. | 00:32:27 | |
| OK, it's documented that way. Yeah, that would be my preference. So where do you want to you want to pay the workman's comp out of | 00:32:29 | |
| the? | 00:32:32 | |
| General fund, in the general fund, OK. | 00:32:35 | |
| Paid to the Sheriff's Department to cover the deficit 1233 in the workforce I'm good and then there's and then there's two | 00:32:39 | |
| qualifiers with that OK, this is considered. | 00:32:44 | |
| Alone, at least for most of this. | 00:32:49 | |
| You know or till you get, you know 124. | 00:32:53 | |
| Right. And then there's the discussion of we're in the same situation next year. | 00:32:56 | |
| For what we're talking about now. | 00:33:02 | |
| Obviously we have. | 00:33:05 | |
| Different options next year. | 00:33:07 | |
| But there needs to be. | 00:33:10 | |
| Some long term discussion on gel lit. | 00:33:12 | |
| Moving forward so. | 00:33:15 | |
| So. | 00:33:19 | |
| Not to pun it again here, but. | 00:33:20 | |
| So, so I mean, it's going to, it's going to come back up for. | 00:33:24 | |
| You know the more permanent fix you know right now. | 00:33:33 | |
| We're considering this shoring up to get us to get us where we can closeout these lines. | 00:33:36 | |
| So, umm. | 00:33:43 | |
| Does everybody understand? | 00:33:47 | |
| The situation there. | 00:33:49 | |
| So yes, I do. | 00:33:51 | |
| We can take a motion for C&D for the full amount. | 00:33:54 | |
| Or yes, which would be I'll just make that motion. I'll make a motion for. | 00:34:00 | |
| 2C and D appropriation of $267,450.10. | 00:34:06 | |
| 2nd. | 00:34:12 | |
| From to pay into cash the deficit for the 12:33 and the workers yes out of county general and two yeah. | 00:34:16 | |
| That was lined OK. | 00:34:26 | |
| Can we? Don't we need to appropriate it in? | 00:34:29 | |
| Tablet. No, we need to appropriate it. | 00:34:33 | |
| Balance deficit. The lines are already appropriated and overspent. All it does is bring the cash balance up to 0. | 00:34:37 | |
| Do we have a second? We have a motion and a second. So that makes sense to you? Yes, ma'am. | 00:34:44 | |
| OK, I'm a little confused. | 00:34:49 | |
| Because. | 00:34:52 | |
| Help me here, Diana. So. | 00:34:53 | |
| You're creating the line. | 00:34:57 | |
| So what we're gonna do? | 00:34:59 | |
| I don't think that. | 00:35:01 | |
| So they're appropriating and approving. | 00:35:04 | |
| $267,450.10 What that does is it covers the current deficit and of course if the payment comes in, we will lessen it accordingly | 00:35:07 | |
| and we'll inform you all that that has happened. | 00:35:13 | |
| And then it also covers the workman's comp bill. We're not going to create a line in here. We're literally just going to create a | 00:35:23 | |
| claim that pays on behalf of the Sheriff's Department into workers comp. | 00:35:27 | |
| It's all the 12:33. | 00:35:32 | |
| We're going to deposit. | 00:35:38 | |
| 180 something. | 00:35:45 | |
| Yeah, the balance that currently exists into the jail net fund. | 00:35:48 | |
| So 80,000. | 00:35:52 | |
| 121680 is going to go directly into Workforce. | 00:35:54 | |
| The difference? We're going to jail it, which will bring it up to 0. | 00:35:58 | |
| From county General. | 00:36:02 | |
| Yes, and I will make sure that you have a copy of everything. | 00:36:05 | |
| We'll figure out how we're going to pay it back after the first year. | 00:36:09 | |
| And also I think there's some discussion coming down the Pike concerning some of the new lit funds that would be available for use | 00:36:14 | |
| for law enforcement and safety. | 00:36:18 | |
| So this is this is a stopgap measure. | 00:36:22 | |
| This is to get us through the next day and a half. Understand? Yeah. And then we're going to revisit. | 00:36:26 | |
| And make long term plans. I understand that I wasn't real sure exactly how the flow of the. | 00:36:33 | |
| How the funds were going? | 00:36:40 | |
| Didn't seem to. I couldn't connect that. | 00:36:42 | |
| So OK. | 00:36:45 | |
| I appreciate it. Thank you. | 00:36:48 | |
| There's a limit. Is there any further discussion? | 00:36:51 | |
| All right, all in favor of 2C and D say aye. | 00:36:57 | |
| Aye, any opposed? | 00:37:02 | |
| Carries, thank you. | 00:37:04 | |
| I'll make a motion for 3A as advertised. | 00:37:11 | |
| Motion a second for 3A. | 00:37:16 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:37:18 | |
| Anything you feel like you need to tell us because they look like that entire agenda item is quite literally line transfers that | 00:37:21 | |
| are part of the approved budget, but they just cross. | 00:37:26 | |
| Categories, that's all they do. So when you talk about the $0.16. | 00:37:31 | |
| Real life listen, the last payroll of the year posted, sometimes it takes a line -1 cent and there might only be one person saying | 00:37:35 | |
| there might only be one person paid out of that fund. So you got to pull it from a supply line. | 00:37:41 | |
| And that crosses categories and we do things as right as we possibly can. | 00:37:48 | |
| All right, we're having a great time. Any further discussion on a? | 00:37:53 | |
| All in favor say aye. Any opposed? | 00:37:59 | |
| That carries. | 00:38:03 | |
| B is a cleanup item. It's quite literally just the additional appropriation for monies that have already been spent for the grant | 00:38:04 | |
| awards that were done. | 00:38:09 | |
| There was just some information lost in translation. | 00:38:16 | |
| Between I think J Rack and my office and we kind of put the cart before the horse, so we're putting the horse back in front. | 00:38:19 | |
| Motion to approve Second. | 00:38:27 | |
| Have a motion and a second for B. Any further discussion? | 00:38:30 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:38:35 | |
| B carries. | 00:38:39 | |
| See, a maintenance agreement was paid early. | 00:38:41 | |
| So we're just putting some monies back there. | 00:38:44 | |
| So moved When they don't tell us that it has to be 2025, we process it in 2024. | 00:38:49 | |
| Motion. We have a motion a second for item C Any questions? | 00:38:56 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. | 00:39:02 | |
| Hi. Hi. Any opposed? | 00:39:04 | |
| OK, Carries. | 00:39:07 | |
| Same thing, a maintenance agreement was paid early. | 00:39:10 | |
| Move to approve item D. | 00:39:16 | |
| Second motion a second for item D Any questions? | 00:39:19 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:39:25 | |
| And this is the last time you'll see this fund ever, as long as I have anything to say about it. So who knows, that could change | 00:39:28 | |
| in a couple years. So we're just shoring up a. | 00:39:35 | |
| Non revenue 9002 money pit. | 00:39:42 | |
| Motion to approve 3 E Thank God it's gone. | 00:39:46 | |
| End of an era. Second, we have a motion and a second for three E Any discussion? | 00:39:51 | |
| Was this figure right about what we were? | 00:39:59 | |
| Counting on. | 00:40:02 | |
| Yeah, Yeah, it was right about. No, I'll hold it now. That's not what was budgeted. I thought we were significantly more than that | 00:40:03 | |
| because half of that amount got paid with your. | 00:40:10 | |
| That the spend rate. | 00:40:18 | |
| You guys have always used the spin rate to help shore up the 9002. It cuts the costs in half and now the spin rate has been moved | 00:40:21 | |
| to a receipt. We started tracking this about mid year but I think the the budgeted line item for healthcare expense was oh it's | 00:40:27 | |
| still got $1,000,000 in it huh. The budgeted line item still has $1,000,000 but this is what I. | 00:40:34 | |
| So that fund balance, keep in mind that fund balance is not a real fund balance this that this fund. | 00:40:42 | |
| Has no money in it. It is not a revenue. I understand. I understand all that. | 00:40:48 | |
| But the 3.158, this is not what we expected. | 00:40:52 | |
| At the when we budgeted it. | 00:40:57 | |
| I guess expected when this covers this isn't just healthcare. | 00:40:59 | |
| I understand that. OK. I'm very confused then because seven, $7,000,000 is pretty average for this county right now and this is | 00:41:03 | |
| about this is a little less than half of that and the spin rate covers the other portion. But what didn't we have? | 00:41:10 | |
| I need to look at the the line items. | 00:41:18 | |
| I thought there was a large budget. | 00:41:21 | |
| Surplus. | 00:41:27 | |
| In the healthcare line item and you're talking about like non reverting fund that has nothing to do with the 9002? Yes ma'am. | 00:41:29 | |
| I'll go back. It could be. | 00:41:39 | |
| You can. I mean you because there's no such thing as number plus. And then I'm 002. It runs in the red all year long. I know. | 00:41:41 | |
| I know because it's fake money. | 00:41:48 | |
| Yeah, what is it's a non revenue fund. OK. Well, I'm glad this. | 00:41:50 | |
| We don't have to ask those questions ever again. Any further discussions on E? | 00:41:56 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. | 00:42:03 | |
| Any opposed? | 00:42:05 | |
| OK, so F. | 00:42:09 | |
| In fact, it is not an agreement paid early. It is because we wound up having to pay Harris a little bit more than we anticipated | 00:42:11 | |
| due to the delay in getting Lao financials on board. | 00:42:18 | |
| So Lao Financials was supposed to start in July. They did not start until October, which made our October lots of fun. | 00:42:25 | |
| But so we do need an additional appropriation in the human resources. | 00:42:35 | |
| Budget for $765 just to. | 00:42:41 | |
| Just to make up that difference and 0 out that line. | 00:42:46 | |
| Move to approve item F. | 00:42:50 | |
| 2nd we have a motion and a second for 3F. | 00:42:53 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:42:57 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. And then there's my additional items. | 00:43:00 | |
| Yeah, sorry. I'm. | 00:43:06 | |
| It's been a very long couple weeks, my apologies. I'm a little bit slack happy today. | 00:43:08 | |
| My additional items again, they're just, I processed the credit card billing payment through our our system this morning and it it | 00:43:15 | |
| knocked some lines negative. So I had to do some additional line transfers. So no additional appropriations, just line transfers | 00:43:20 | |
| crossing categories. | 00:43:24 | |
| Motion to approve the additional clean up. | 00:43:30 | |
| Is that would that be 3B? | 00:43:34 | |
| It'd probably be 3G if I had to guess Date. | 00:43:37 | |
| G. | 00:43:43 | |
| We have a motion a second for 3G. | 00:43:48 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:43:53 | |
| All in favor say aye. Any opposed? | 00:43:56 | |
| Thank you very much. | 00:44:00 | |
| Right now we have. | 00:44:03 | |
| Transfer ordinance for a. | 00:44:05 | |
| I'll need to add to this. | 00:44:13 | |
| So candy in here. | 00:44:16 | |
| Include include 3G into the 4A. | 00:44:20 | |
| Motion. | 00:44:30 | |
| Motion to approve. | 00:44:34 | |
| The ordinance with the additional changes that Gloria just mentioned. | 00:44:37 | |
| Second, can we have a motion and a second for for a line transfers? | 00:44:44 | |
| With the addition of 3G added into the ordinance, any discussion? | 00:44:49 | |
| So on this ordinance. | 00:44:54 | |
| I'm looking at it. | 00:45:01 | |
| Basically unappropriating those lines. | 00:45:05 | |
| So I I think I understand the top part, the general fund. | 00:45:11 | |
| About Can you tell me about the ARPA and the? | 00:45:17 | |
| Those are all the line transfers that you heard that all of them. You put them all on here. | 00:45:21 | |
| Got got it. OK, now I'm with you. I didn't know if this was more or just OK. | 00:45:27 | |
| Gotcha. I am I understand now. | 00:45:35 | |
| And 3G balances. | 00:45:38 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:45:40 | |
| All in favor for a say aye? Any opposed? | 00:45:43 | |
| That carries. | 00:45:47 | |
| Then we have the revision of our meetings for next year. | 00:45:49 | |
| And. | 00:45:54 | |
| Has kind of your deadline has kind of good. | 00:45:59 | |
| So we were almost as. | 00:46:03 | |
| Almost didn't get our appropriations. | 00:46:07 | |
| Because they they're getting more strict. | 00:46:10 | |
| What is the deadline for advertising in the base? | 00:46:14 | |
| But I have to get it to the tribute. | 00:46:17 | |
| At least 2 1/2 days before the advertisement. Oh wow. | 00:46:22 | |
| And that's statutory. The 10 days, that's statutory. | 00:46:29 | |
| Yeah, they they're really cracking down. They used to be okay. | 00:46:35 | |
| Yeah. | 00:46:41 | |
| OK. | 00:46:45 | |
| And this is just for. | 00:46:47 | |
| Appropriations not for basic. | 00:46:50 | |
| Just appropriations. | 00:46:53 | |
| Yes. | 00:46:57 | |
| Anybody wanna make a motion on 4B? | 00:47:04 | |
| So move. | 00:47:07 | |
| 2nd. | 00:47:09 | |
| Motion a second for 4B. Any further questions? | 00:47:10 | |
| Gloria. | 00:47:15 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:47:17 | |
| I have a question. | 00:47:23 | |
| So I'm looking at the fund balance. | 00:47:25 | |
| And the general fund ended. | 00:47:29 | |
| The year, I think this is pretty close to year end, although there's some things that are going to happen. | 00:47:32 | |
| Here not significant. | 00:47:37 | |
| Over $7,000,000. | 00:47:41 | |
| One looks like right now. | 00:47:45 | |
| That's not at all what we. | 00:47:49 | |
| Have been thinking what's going to happen. | 00:47:53 | |
| What can anybody explain the? | 00:47:56 | |
| Why the? | 00:47:59 | |
| I mean it remember you have to subtract 3.1 million from that for the shore up. | 00:48:02 | |
| 490020 that's what it is. That's what it is. I'm thinking it's 3 point, OK. | 00:48:07 | |
| So you got 7.4, Subtract 3.1. Now you're at. | 00:48:13 | |
| 3.3. | 00:48:18 | |
| 4.3, you know, 3 1/4, yeah. | 00:48:21 | |
| 4 million and then and I think the medical expenses are the other thing. So there we are. We're going to end the year somewhere | 00:48:24 | |
| around $4 million. | 00:48:30 | |
| Financial reports so everyone can see what the balance is ended with. | 00:48:37 | |
| But it looks like it's going to be somewhere around $4 million. | 00:48:43 | |
| Which is about what we expected. | 00:48:46 | |
| Think so. | 00:48:51 | |
| In the projection. | 00:48:52 | |
| We started off around 3 and it was improving as we went along, but yeah. | 00:48:56 | |
| OK. | 00:49:02 | |
| OK, I'll go any further with my thoughts there. | 00:49:04 | |
| OK, umm. | 00:49:08 | |
| Yeah, started your 3 second. | 00:49:09 | |
| Yeah, I I seen that. So we pretty much are going to end where we started. | 00:49:12 | |
| We stayed within our receipts for the year. | 00:49:18 | |
| Kudos to us, honestly. | 00:49:21 | |
| They did excellent this year. They were very, very fiscal and savvy. They searched high and low for. | 00:49:25 | |
| Wheels they do not know. | 00:49:32 | |
| We didn't have to ask for very many additional appropriations we needed this year at all. They all stayed within their budgets for | 00:49:36 | |
| the most part. It was kudos to your department as they did an excellent this year. | 00:49:40 | |
| It really did. | 00:49:47 | |
| And they must have done a really good job budgeting, I mean. | 00:49:48 | |
| That's what you're saying if they did a really good job budgeting so hopefully for 2025. | 00:49:52 | |
| Would be the same. | 00:49:58 | |
| I would just just for fun. | 00:50:04 | |
| This is what politicians say. Look at all we did and we have. | 00:50:07 | |
| Balanced budget. | 00:50:12 | |
| That's a good tagline. You know, it sounds good. We have a balance budget. | 00:50:15 | |
| Oh, and also, I just like to say a few things up. Just a word about the passing Mr. Carr, former President Jimmy Carter. | 00:50:19 | |
| I just like to say that we should all aspire to. | 00:50:26 | |
| Be somewhat like him, and as far as his he had a. | 00:50:30 | |
| A deep faith, a deep conviction, and he was a great humanitarian and we should all aspire to be better human beings as he was. | 00:50:34 | |
| And the same condolences to his family. | 00:50:43 | |
| A lot of the service. | 00:50:46 | |
| Anybody from the public wish to speak? | 00:50:51 | |
| Any council members have anything else to say? | 00:50:55 | |
| I will entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved Sagitt. | 00:51:02 | |
| We adjourned. We'll see you. | 00:51:06 | |
| 25. | 00:51:08 |

| Good afternoon, Don Law, Director of Operations. First item I have is a request for an encumbrance from the Edit Fund 1112 forty | 00:02:57 | |
| 4008. | 00:03:02 | |
| Capital improvements it's to for a contract with Upton Pry for the ML Rice building of 23,044 Seven. | 00:03:08 | |
| 2nd. | 00:03:19 | |
| I have a motion a second for 1A. | 00:03:20 | |
| Any questions for Don? | 00:03:23 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:03:27 | |
| Carries. | 00:03:30 | |
| Request additional preparation where this is finalizing our ARP funding and the movements that were done at your regular meeting. | 00:03:32 | |
| There are still some a couple additional amendments that had to take place in that fund. We're asking for additional appropriation | 00:03:39 | |
| of 58,000 three 4072 cents in open sense road construction. | 00:03:45 | |
| And in bridge 5100 and $66,118.94. | 00:03:52 | |
| I'm over. | 00:04:00 | |
| 2nd. | 00:04:03 | |
| Motion and a second for one. | 00:04:04 | |
| Discussion, I do have a question. So the balance and that looks like it's 356, but we're appropriating 244. Is there a balance | 00:04:06 | |
| left in that ARPA account there shouldn't be at the end of after these? | 00:04:14 | |
| Requested actions there shouldn't. They should all be. It is a should, it will all be appropriated. | 00:04:22 | |
| This is combined with ones we've already done, yes. | 00:04:28 | |
| And then not OK. | 00:04:33 | |
| OK, OK, Thank you. Our commissioners goal would be the. | 00:04:36 | |
| I think as yours is, they have all the money appropriate. | 00:04:40 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:04:46 | |
| All in favor of 1B say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:04:49 | |
| C is a transfer. These are projects have been completed and. | 00:04:53 | |
| Paddings had leftover residual funds the transferring out of election machines $1910.00 Jury system 6000 Floyd Knobs water 94,000 | 00:04:59 | |
| five 7853 lost revenue FTR system 55125 dollars election docket $729.16 and then that should. | 00:05:12 | |
| Then be transferred to bridge 5100 and 3742 dollars and 69 seconds. | 00:05:25 | |
| 2nd. | 00:05:35 | |
| I have a motion and a second for 1C. | 00:05:36 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:05:39 | |
| I do have one more question. | 00:05:41 | |
| It's my understanding that the Bridge 51 is a matching. There's a matching funds there. When those matching funds come back in, | 00:05:44 | |
| where would they go to? We got to pay it up front, right? And we're using the ARPA monies to pay it up front. | 00:05:53 | |
| At the last meeting, I explained that because of a different a supplement that was sent by the US Treasury, the guidance regarding | 00:06:03 | |
| the the federal fund projects. | 00:06:08 | |
| There was supplanting and some supplementing and the commissioners decided to move do these different actions with Bridge 51 and | 00:06:14 | |
| Old Benson's Road Hill. | 00:06:20 | |
| The slide. | 00:06:27 | |
| In order to make sure that come 2026 you wouldn't be paying back potentially the Bridge 51 project. | 00:06:28 | |
| So. | 00:06:35 | |
| At the end of the day. | 00:06:37 | |
| Go ahead. At the end of the day, there will not be any ARPA funds used for Bridge 51. That's why we're making these. That's why | 00:06:39 | |
| we're, that's why we're making these movements. | 00:06:45 | |
| In the fire is to reimburse we're. | 00:06:52 | |
| We're in the process of reimbursing. | 00:06:54 | |
| ARPA back the funds that were spent. | 00:06:57 | |
| And using 9162 County Road and Bridge bond funds. | 00:07:02 | |
| Four Bridge. Bridge 50. | 00:07:07 | |
| We're in the process of doing that. Is that something that's coming? Yeah, we're doing the last part. | 00:07:13 | |
| Today, because we just appropriated 166 and a 103200, those lines right now are in the red. So we are, we are, we're getting those | 00:07:19 | |
| back to zero. You had already spent the money on those. We spent the money on that for the right of way acquisition and one of | 00:07:27 | |
| those right away acquisitions was over $800,000 because it's a full taking of property. | 00:07:36 | |
| We're we're a million. | 00:07:47 | |
| Into and rival acquisitions for this project. | 00:07:49 | |
| But we had funds. | 00:07:53 | |
| And that's just employee county. No, that's both. We have the commissioners are responsible for bridge, all bridges. | 00:07:55 | |
| Whether they go, whether they're insert. | 00:08:05 | |
| I can get, I can really confuse you or I can really confuse you on East West NS statue on who's responsible. | 00:08:08 | |
| But for the most part. | 00:08:17 | |
| County commissioners in this situation are responsible for land acquisition on both sides. | 00:08:19 | |
| I'm sure you've said it before, I just, but that's, that's part of that's part that's the part of the statutory responsibilities | 00:08:28 | |
| of the commissioners when it comes to bridges is that they have. | 00:08:33 | |
| There's two, there's two directional east West type or east north for county's boarding certain size and county's board and other | 00:08:39 | |
| sides and I'm now totally boards you with that because that's simple, but no, it's county government, but the process being is | 00:08:46 | |
| what we're doing today is cleaning up. | 00:08:52 | |
| The bridge 51 so that the county would not have any liabilities for ARP funds being paid back. | 00:09:01 | |
| On something that during the state border accounts or federal audit says that's a question. | 00:09:09 | |
| These, these actions allow us to fully utilize all our funds without getting into trouble in the future because what we're doing | 00:09:15 | |
| is we're trading out those. So at the bottom, at the end of the day, what are we using the ARPA funds for if we're not using it | 00:09:20 | |
| for Bridge 51? | 00:09:25 | |
| Rd. | 00:09:33 | |
| Slide project going up the hill. | 00:09:34 | |
| As as the majority of that and the 808 hundred thousand for the building. | 00:09:38 | |
| For the building project. | 00:09:43 | |
| So this is just magical numbers so. | 00:09:44 | |
| We're using it for the old Vintage Rd. project. Is that a matching project? Local project? So you're you're matching money? | 00:09:50 | |
| You're we have an 8020 match. | 00:10:02 | |
| Right, right. That's what I was. That was my original question. Yes. When that comes back, that will all be put into. | 00:10:06 | |
| 90 Probably 9130 or 9162, so that will be used for the part of the local match for construction. | 00:10:15 | |
| Because we still have to match the we have a $5,000,000 cost estimate. | 00:10:23 | |
| Right now. | 00:10:29 | |
| So we have at least have have to have $1,000,000. | 00:10:32 | |
| Ready in September to provide to end I as a local management. | 00:10:35 | |
| OK. | 00:10:43 | |
| So the monies are going back into the same project. | 00:10:44 | |
| All right. Any further discussion on one? | 00:10:50 | |
| All in favor say aye. Any opposed? | 00:10:54 | |
| 1C carries. | 00:10:57 | |
| These are transfer from the County Road bridge projects. That's our bond project. | 00:11:00 | |
| That's from Incense of Hill Rd. slide of 100. | 00:11:07 | |
| $4972.44 to Bridge 51. | 00:11:10 | |
| So move. | 00:11:18 | |
| 2nd. | 00:11:21 | |
| Have a motion and 2nd for 1D. So you know I have another question. | 00:11:22 | |
| This is just circling back around, connecting the dots, get everything in place. I understand. | 00:11:28 | |
| And I'm sorry, I wasn't at the last meeting and was at a place where I could not. | 00:11:34 | |
| Have called in but and so I'm. We're probably backtracking just for me. | 00:11:38 | |
| I'm here all day. Well, thank you, Don. I appreciate that. | 00:11:44 | |
| We're decreasing, you just told me we're going to use it for the Ovensons Rd. slide, but we're decreasing that amount and we're | 00:11:49 | |
| increasing the 51 seems backwards to me, different fund. | 00:11:55 | |
| So this N 8903 which is American Rescue Plan. | 00:12:03 | |
| The county spent $1.2 million. | 00:12:08 | |
| In Bridge 50. | 00:12:11 | |
| To reimburse all that money, we took money out of 9162, which is our bond. | 00:12:13 | |
| And so. | 00:12:20 | |
| We still had when we did our preparation at your meeting, first meeting in December. | 00:12:23 | |
| We had $1.1 million. | 00:12:29 | |
| This this this. | 00:12:32 | |
| 1100 and 4972. | 00:12:33 | |
| Has to be transferred so then that can be reimbursed. Go back over to AARP funds. | 00:12:38 | |
| I think Danny sort of answered the question. This is in the County Road bridges, so you're. | 00:12:45 | |
| OK. | 00:12:54 | |
| OK. | 00:12:57 | |
| Maybe I'll speak with you after the meeting and so I can get things straight in my head. I'm going to give you the same | 00:12:58 | |
| explanation. I'm not. I'm not going to ask for an explanation. I'm going to ask for a spreadsheet, obviously, that shows me the | 00:13:04 | |
| balance in these accounts for each of those projects. | 00:13:10 | |
| Can you just do that for me? | 00:13:17 | |
| I can try, I'll do my best. | 00:13:19 | |
| Yes, I would be happy to provide you with a line. | 00:13:22 | |
| Budget because all of these movements are going to happen inside of our financial system. | 00:13:26 | |
| OK. And I can send you a line budget that will it's titled by the project and shows you how much money wound up in that line | 00:13:30 | |
| that's. | 00:13:34 | |
| Perfect that I think that will just help me be clear about what is where. | 00:13:38 | |
| OK. Thank you. Thank you. | 00:13:43 | |
| And one day, we're going to learn how to do that ourselves. | 00:13:48 | |
| Yes, ma'am. That's awesome. I'm ready. | 00:13:51 | |
| Yeah, all right. Anymore discussion on 1D. | 00:13:55 | |

| Some of. | 00:18:24 | |
| I'll second it with the question. You have a motion a second. Go ahead, clutch them. | 00:18:28 | |
| Tell me why we're paying Clarksville. | 00:18:34 | |
| This is a pass. The tourism Bureau has a grant program and as part of the grant program they asked municipalities to be the fiscal | 00:18:36 | |
| agent. It's a pass through grant, but as physical agent we get a. | 00:18:44 | |
| I believe this was several years ago about a 10. | 00:18:54 | |
| 10% bonus on our grant. So we were a grant recipient from the tourism Bureau and we took on the responsibility of being the pass | 00:18:58 | |
| through agent so. | 00:19:04 | |
| This fund has paid out. | 00:19:10 | |
| To the city of Jeffersonville. I believe the city in Albany, Clarksville is one that has not. | 00:19:12 | |
| Appropriated or requested or claimed their funds yet so that. | 00:19:21 | |
| This is funds generated through tourism revenue from hotel tax. They have different calls. I think they're just about in the | 00:19:24 | |
| middle of one right now, so. | 00:19:30 | |
| So how are we going, We're going to be the fiscal agent forever or just another bonds complete and then and I believe we're in | 00:19:36 | |
| year 2 or 3, it's a 10 year bond. | 00:19:42 | |
| So I think this is the end of year. | 00:19:49 | |
| So primarily what what our responsibility is, is to send a letter to the tourism Bureau to send us a check. | 00:19:54 | |
| Deposit that check, turn around and appropriate funds for the bond, and then pay. | 00:20:01 | |
| And we got 20,000 additional grand finance. | 00:20:09 | |
| Clarksville's amount is. | 00:20:14 | |
| Higher because they have more. | 00:20:16 | |
| They received a high they they had not drawn their finances and that's two years worth on their. | 00:20:18 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:20:25 | |
| All in favor of 1L say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:20:28 | |
| Hey M, these are transfers. | 00:20:34 | |

| $538. | 00:21:25 | |
| Form open soon as Rd. slide and that is in the County Road and bridge. | 00:21:27 | |
| And the reason for that? | 00:21:32 | |
| Is so that. | 00:21:34 | |
| Part of moving these funds around to make sure that AARP funds are secure. There wasn't. | 00:21:36 | |
| And basically it was $219. It was going to be shown as a. | 00:21:44 | |
| Appropriation that just needed to go back. | 00:21:50 | |
| And as cash. | 00:21:53 | |
| Us to approve. | 00:21:58 | |
| Cute second now look at 219 dollars 219,000 we have a motion and a second for one Q. | 00:21:59 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:22:10 | |
| Other than what I'm looking at here and what you said, $219,538, there we go for the record. | 00:22:11 | |
| Unappropriate. | 00:22:20 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:22:22 | |

| 2nd. | 00:22:50 | |
| And a second for one R Any further discussion? | 00:22:53 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:22:58 | |
| All right. Thank you. | 00:23:03 | |
| Are you leaving the room? I just. | 00:23:09 | |
| I just want to say thank you. I know your retirement. | 00:23:11 | |
| At the end of the year, so. | 00:23:16 | |
| On behalf of myself and. | 00:23:19 | |
| I know you're going to be around. | 00:23:21 | |
| But thank you. Thank you for your service to the county. Thank you for putting up with all my questions and always answering them. | 00:23:28 | |
| Umm, thank you. | 00:23:37 | |
| Thanks. | 00:23:45 | |
| Thank you, Don. | 00:23:46 | |
| We won't use all the alphabet here today. | 00:23:48 | |
| But no, just real quick, I'ma let Dan speak, but just real quick, you know, we did, you all probably know this, we can't get more | 00:23:52 | |
| privately, but we gave Don, made him one of our honorary sheriff's policy members. Just so you know, for all his service he's done | 00:23:58 | |
| in the county, I worked with him for 12 years as a commissioner when he first started and all his service and time he does for the | 00:24:04 | |
| Floyd County, we gave him an honorary sheriff policy award member basically. So just so you know, so that's awesome. | 00:24:10 | |
| Thanks for doing that. | 00:24:17 | |
| Welcome. Thank you. | 00:24:20 | |
| The first one is just a transfer to cover our overtime shortage in the jail lid fund. | 00:24:25 | |
| We tried to be as fiscally responsible as we can with that particular fund. | 00:24:31 | |
| And we just ended up a little short in the overtime. | 00:24:37 | |
| Move to approve 2 a second. | 00:24:42 | |
| Motion a second for 2A. | 00:24:44 | |
| I have a question. | 00:24:47 | |
| Are we? | 00:24:48 | |
| Now, we're still in the red here, right? | 00:24:52 | |
| Cash balance wise? | 00:24:56 | |
| What do you mean cash balance wise versus what? | 00:24:58 | |
| Well, it. | 00:25:03 | |
| It would have to go back to a conversation during the budget hearing process back in 23 for 2024. | 00:25:05 | |
| What we saw was I. | 00:25:12 | |
| I can't remember who I was there, but I remember a little bit about the conversation. | 00:25:15 | |
| It was shared that the jail lit estimated revenue was not going to support at that time the. | 00:25:19 | |
| Appropriations that were blessed during the budget adoption process. We had a lot of pending items that are additional revenue | 00:25:28 | |
| sources for the jail lit fund. | 00:25:34 | |
| Most of those came true. Most of those did hit, which is why we only, if you recall back in July, I think Baker Tilly projected | 00:25:40 | |
| about $800,000 deficit to the cash balance in the jail lid fund. | 00:25:46 | |
| We did our, we did our the best we could to be fiscally responsible. And I think if you remember, I project it's going to be about | 00:25:53 | |
| 100,000. | 00:25:57 | |
| So in saying that what we what we were able to identify as recently as November of 23 DLC allowed the sheriff to bill for any DLC | 00:26:01 | |
| inmates who are after sentenced, they are continued to be housed in our jail until they are transported to their resident | 00:26:09 | |
| facility. | 00:26:17 | |
| So that generated a significant number, our significant value. However, just recently we became aware through the Indiana | 00:26:26 | |
| Sheriff's Association that IDLC has apparently run short on funds. So they quit paying us. We've reached out to them significant | 00:26:35 | |
| number of times, but we have an estimate of about $124,000 that they owe us for #1 housing those inmates and for. | 00:26:44 | |
| Transporting federal inmates to. | 00:26:55 | |
| Facilities. | 00:26:58 | |
| Which are all allowable expense revenues to be? | 00:26:59 | |
| Refunded. | 00:27:04 | |
| Excuse me, back into the jail, live from. | 00:27:06 | |
| So we're 180. | 00:27:08 | |
| $3000 short. I believe in the fund. This says 178. | 00:27:11 | |
| 179,000 if you're rounding, OK, OK. So roughly in that number, if you take the 124 payable plus the 40, yeah, we ended up, oh, | 00:27:15 | |
| that's just in the same, that's a further discussion item down on how we're going to rectify that. | 00:27:23 | |
| Just to clarify, these two transfers are specific to zeroing out and or bringing above 0 lines within the fund has nothing to do | 00:27:34 | |
| with the cash balance in the fund. This is so easy. close out the fund for the fiscal year. If you don't use line transfers, we | 00:27:39 | |
| can't close out the funds. | 00:27:45 | |
| Think we can't have a negative balance in this? | 00:27:51 | |
| Transfers, clean up those lines. Got you. This is within the fun. Yes ma'am. | 00:27:57 | |
| So these two transfers, all they do is clean up the lines within the fund. | 00:28:09 | |
| To do with the fund balance itself, OK. | 00:28:13 | |
| OK. | 00:28:15 | |
| So OK. | 00:28:16 | |
| I'm I'm there now we have a motion. We hit a motion second. OK, any further discussion? | 00:28:18 | |
| All in favor of a say aye. | 00:28:25 | |
| Hi, any opposed? | 00:28:28 | |
| That zeroes that one out. | 00:28:31 | |
| Item B is the same thing. It was a. | 00:28:35 | |
| Computer supplies and then the telephone is really our air cards that are. | 00:28:37 | |
| In the officers vehicles, it's just the price increases and we didn't budget for it. We had some additional funds available in our | 00:28:42 | |
| computer supplies which we kept in advance and so that we could apply to this particular item for the overrun, again zeroing out | 00:28:48 | |
| the negative line balance in the air card line. | 00:28:54 | |
| Motion to Approve to be Motion and 2nd for to be any questions. | 00:29:03 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:29:10 | |
| That carries. | 00:29:13 | |
| Now the jail deficits. | 00:29:14 | |
| Do we need to talk about D before we talk about C? Because that is that going to be they're they're yeah, they're going to be | 00:29:18 | |
| working together. Just just get into it. Well, if I may, there was never a budget set for the workers compensation in the jail lit | 00:29:23 | |
| fund. | 00:29:28 | |
| I'm not sure. Previously, I think it all been handled in the benefits fund. And so wherever it was managed from what we didn't pay | 00:29:35 | |
| for last year, what we had excess funds in 2023 I guess. | 00:29:42 | |
| So we were able to incorporate that payment in 23, so. | 00:29:48 | |
| Either did a last minute or it was right at the first of the year. | 00:29:54 | |
| And we haven't accounted for this in the 25 budget either. No, Sir, we have not. | 00:29:59 | |
| So everybody knows going forward. | 00:30:05 | |
| Just to read onto the record, we're to add on to the workers comp. | 00:30:09 | |
| In a total because I'm looking I'm. | 00:30:14 | |
| Right now, and we do have the Treasurer's office watching for that, hopefully open it today or tomorrow. If it does, it lowers the | 00:30:17 | |
| amount by about $124,000 which would be great. | 00:30:22 | |
| But as of right now, if you add in the $80,000 for workers comp, the total is 260-7450 and $0.10. | 00:30:27 | |
| 267 Four. | 00:30:42 | |
| And $0.10, so 267450.10. OK, I'm going to do D first because that makes sense to me. | 00:30:45 | |
| So I'm going to make a motion to approve the additional appropriation of 80 thousand 2/16/80 for workman's comp out of the fund | 00:30:53 | |
| 12:33. | 00:30:59 | |
| Oh. | 00:31:06 | |
| But. | 00:31:09 | |
| If we just put it in 1233, then we'll approve, approve the whole amount, right? Am I doing this backwards? OK. | 00:31:10 | |
| Deficit in the fund. Fund can't end in the negative and they haven't paid the workers comp. So there's two ways to do this. We | 00:31:20 | |
| just pay it out of the workmen's comp. | 00:31:25 | |
| Out of the General the general fund in the workmen's comp line. | 00:31:30 | |
| #2 We appropriated into the 12:33 and then pay from the general fund into the 12:30 and then appropriate. | 00:31:35 | |
| Yeah, it is. I like putting it into the 12:33 because. | 00:31:44 | |
| I think we should go ahead and put on the agenda item for for January. Oh, do we know what we should? | 00:31:50 | |
| We can appropriate an amount, though we're gonna have to. We're gonna have to talk about jail let for 2025 anyway because it's | 00:31:58 | |
| it's a deficit. It's already going in. | 00:32:03 | |
| And so I I have some thoughts about all that, but. | 00:32:09 | |
| Your preference, because you've got to do it. | 00:32:14 | |
| Yep, would be for the council to appropriate the amount needed to cover both and allow me to proceed it into the second. | 00:32:18 | |
| Runs on the same colitis. | 00:32:27 | |
| OK, it's documented that way. Yeah, that would be my preference. So where do you want to you want to pay the workman's comp out of | 00:32:29 | |
| the? | 00:32:32 | |
| General fund, in the general fund, OK. | 00:32:35 | |
| Paid to the Sheriff's Department to cover the deficit 1233 in the workforce I'm good and then there's and then there's two | 00:32:39 | |
| qualifiers with that OK, this is considered. | 00:32:44 | |
| Alone, at least for most of this. | 00:32:49 | |
| You know or till you get, you know 124. | 00:32:53 | |
| Right. And then there's the discussion of we're in the same situation next year. | 00:32:56 | |
| For what we're talking about now. | 00:33:02 | |
| Obviously we have. | 00:33:05 | |
| Different options next year. | 00:33:07 | |
| But there needs to be. | 00:33:10 | |
| Some long term discussion on gel lit. | 00:33:12 | |
| Moving forward so. | 00:33:15 | |
| So. | 00:33:19 | |
| Not to pun it again here, but. | 00:33:20 | |
| So, so I mean, it's going to, it's going to come back up for. | 00:33:24 | |
| You know the more permanent fix you know right now. | 00:33:33 | |
| We're considering this shoring up to get us to get us where we can closeout these lines. | 00:33:36 | |
| So, umm. | 00:33:43 | |
| Does everybody understand? | 00:33:47 | |
| The situation there. | 00:33:49 | |
| So yes, I do. | 00:33:51 | |
| We can take a motion for C&D for the full amount. | 00:33:54 | |
| Or yes, which would be I'll just make that motion. I'll make a motion for. | 00:34:00 | |
| 2C and D appropriation of $267,450.10. | 00:34:06 | |
| 2nd. | 00:34:12 | |
| From to pay into cash the deficit for the 12:33 and the workers yes out of county general and two yeah. | 00:34:16 | |
| That was lined OK. | 00:34:26 | |
| Can we? Don't we need to appropriate it in? | 00:34:29 | |
| Tablet. No, we need to appropriate it. | 00:34:33 | |
| Balance deficit. The lines are already appropriated and overspent. All it does is bring the cash balance up to 0. | 00:34:37 | |
| Do we have a second? We have a motion and a second. So that makes sense to you? Yes, ma'am. | 00:34:44 | |
| OK, I'm a little confused. | 00:34:49 | |
| Because. | 00:34:52 | |
| Help me here, Diana. So. | 00:34:53 | |
| You're creating the line. | 00:34:57 | |
| So what we're gonna do? | 00:34:59 | |
| I don't think that. | 00:35:01 | |
| So they're appropriating and approving. | 00:35:04 | |
| $267,450.10 What that does is it covers the current deficit and of course if the payment comes in, we will lessen it accordingly | 00:35:07 | |
| and we'll inform you all that that has happened. | 00:35:13 | |
| And then it also covers the workman's comp bill. We're not going to create a line in here. We're literally just going to create a | 00:35:23 | |
| claim that pays on behalf of the Sheriff's Department into workers comp. | 00:35:27 | |
| It's all the 12:33. | 00:35:32 | |
| We're going to deposit. | 00:35:38 | |
| 180 something. | 00:35:45 | |
| Yeah, the balance that currently exists into the jail net fund. | 00:35:48 | |
| So 80,000. | 00:35:52 | |
| 121680 is going to go directly into Workforce. | 00:35:54 | |
| The difference? We're going to jail it, which will bring it up to 0. | 00:35:58 | |
| From county General. | 00:36:02 | |
| Yes, and I will make sure that you have a copy of everything. | 00:36:05 | |
| We'll figure out how we're going to pay it back after the first year. | 00:36:09 | |
| And also I think there's some discussion coming down the Pike concerning some of the new lit funds that would be available for use | 00:36:14 | |
| for law enforcement and safety. | 00:36:18 | |
| So this is this is a stopgap measure. | 00:36:22 | |
| This is to get us through the next day and a half. Understand? Yeah. And then we're going to revisit. | 00:36:26 | |
| And make long term plans. I understand that I wasn't real sure exactly how the flow of the. | 00:36:33 | |
| How the funds were going? | 00:36:40 | |
| Didn't seem to. I couldn't connect that. | 00:36:42 | |
| So OK. | 00:36:45 | |
| I appreciate it. Thank you. | 00:36:48 | |
| There's a limit. Is there any further discussion? | 00:36:51 | |
| All right, all in favor of 2C and D say aye. | 00:36:57 | |
| Aye, any opposed? | 00:37:02 | |
| Carries, thank you. | 00:37:04 | |
| I'll make a motion for 3A as advertised. | 00:37:11 | |
| Motion a second for 3A. | 00:37:16 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:37:18 | |
| Anything you feel like you need to tell us because they look like that entire agenda item is quite literally line transfers that | 00:37:21 | |
| are part of the approved budget, but they just cross. | 00:37:26 | |
| Categories, that's all they do. So when you talk about the $0.16. | 00:37:31 | |
| Real life listen, the last payroll of the year posted, sometimes it takes a line -1 cent and there might only be one person saying | 00:37:35 | |
| there might only be one person paid out of that fund. So you got to pull it from a supply line. | 00:37:41 | |
| And that crosses categories and we do things as right as we possibly can. | 00:37:48 | |
| All right, we're having a great time. Any further discussion on a? | 00:37:53 | |
| All in favor say aye. Any opposed? | 00:37:59 | |
| That carries. | 00:38:03 | |
| B is a cleanup item. It's quite literally just the additional appropriation for monies that have already been spent for the grant | 00:38:04 | |
| awards that were done. | 00:38:09 | |
| There was just some information lost in translation. | 00:38:16 | |
| Between I think J Rack and my office and we kind of put the cart before the horse, so we're putting the horse back in front. | 00:38:19 | |
| Motion to approve Second. | 00:38:27 | |
| Have a motion and a second for B. Any further discussion? | 00:38:30 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:38:35 | |
| B carries. | 00:38:39 | |
| See, a maintenance agreement was paid early. | 00:38:41 | |
| So we're just putting some monies back there. | 00:38:44 | |
| So moved When they don't tell us that it has to be 2025, we process it in 2024. | 00:38:49 | |
| Motion. We have a motion a second for item C Any questions? | 00:38:56 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. | 00:39:02 | |
| Hi. Hi. Any opposed? | 00:39:04 | |
| OK, Carries. | 00:39:07 | |
| Same thing, a maintenance agreement was paid early. | 00:39:10 | |
| Move to approve item D. | 00:39:16 | |
| Second motion a second for item D Any questions? | 00:39:19 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:39:25 | |
| And this is the last time you'll see this fund ever, as long as I have anything to say about it. So who knows, that could change | 00:39:28 | |
| in a couple years. So we're just shoring up a. | 00:39:35 | |
| Non revenue 9002 money pit. | 00:39:42 | |
| Motion to approve 3 E Thank God it's gone. | 00:39:46 | |
| End of an era. Second, we have a motion and a second for three E Any discussion? | 00:39:51 | |
| Was this figure right about what we were? | 00:39:59 | |
| Counting on. | 00:40:02 | |
| Yeah, Yeah, it was right about. No, I'll hold it now. That's not what was budgeted. I thought we were significantly more than that | 00:40:03 | |
| because half of that amount got paid with your. | 00:40:10 | |
| That the spend rate. | 00:40:18 | |
| You guys have always used the spin rate to help shore up the 9002. It cuts the costs in half and now the spin rate has been moved | 00:40:21 | |
| to a receipt. We started tracking this about mid year but I think the the budgeted line item for healthcare expense was oh it's | 00:40:27 | |
| still got $1,000,000 in it huh. The budgeted line item still has $1,000,000 but this is what I. | 00:40:34 | |
| So that fund balance, keep in mind that fund balance is not a real fund balance this that this fund. | 00:40:42 | |
| Has no money in it. It is not a revenue. I understand. I understand all that. | 00:40:48 | |
| But the 3.158, this is not what we expected. | 00:40:52 | |
| At the when we budgeted it. | 00:40:57 | |
| I guess expected when this covers this isn't just healthcare. | 00:40:59 | |
| I understand that. OK. I'm very confused then because seven, $7,000,000 is pretty average for this county right now and this is | 00:41:03 | |
| about this is a little less than half of that and the spin rate covers the other portion. But what didn't we have? | 00:41:10 | |
| I need to look at the the line items. | 00:41:18 | |
| I thought there was a large budget. | 00:41:21 | |
| Surplus. | 00:41:27 | |
| In the healthcare line item and you're talking about like non reverting fund that has nothing to do with the 9002? Yes ma'am. | 00:41:29 | |
| I'll go back. It could be. | 00:41:39 | |
| You can. I mean you because there's no such thing as number plus. And then I'm 002. It runs in the red all year long. I know. | 00:41:41 | |
| I know because it's fake money. | 00:41:48 | |
| Yeah, what is it's a non revenue fund. OK. Well, I'm glad this. | 00:41:50 | |
| We don't have to ask those questions ever again. Any further discussions on E? | 00:41:56 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. | 00:42:03 | |
| Any opposed? | 00:42:05 | |
| OK, so F. | 00:42:09 | |
| In fact, it is not an agreement paid early. It is because we wound up having to pay Harris a little bit more than we anticipated | 00:42:11 | |
| due to the delay in getting Lao financials on board. | 00:42:18 | |
| So Lao Financials was supposed to start in July. They did not start until October, which made our October lots of fun. | 00:42:25 | |
| But so we do need an additional appropriation in the human resources. | 00:42:35 | |
| Budget for $765 just to. | 00:42:41 | |
| Just to make up that difference and 0 out that line. | 00:42:46 | |
| Move to approve item F. | 00:42:50 | |
| 2nd we have a motion and a second for 3F. | 00:42:53 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:42:57 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. And then there's my additional items. | 00:43:00 | |
| Yeah, sorry. I'm. | 00:43:06 | |
| It's been a very long couple weeks, my apologies. I'm a little bit slack happy today. | 00:43:08 | |
| My additional items again, they're just, I processed the credit card billing payment through our our system this morning and it it | 00:43:15 | |
| knocked some lines negative. So I had to do some additional line transfers. So no additional appropriations, just line transfers | 00:43:20 | |
| crossing categories. | 00:43:24 | |
| Motion to approve the additional clean up. | 00:43:30 | |
| Is that would that be 3B? | 00:43:34 | |
| It'd probably be 3G if I had to guess Date. | 00:43:37 | |
| G. | 00:43:43 | |
| We have a motion a second for 3G. | 00:43:48 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:43:53 | |
| All in favor say aye. Any opposed? | 00:43:56 | |
| Thank you very much. | 00:44:00 | |
| Right now we have. | 00:44:03 | |
| Transfer ordinance for a. | 00:44:05 | |
| I'll need to add to this. | 00:44:13 | |
| So candy in here. | 00:44:16 | |
| Include include 3G into the 4A. | 00:44:20 | |
| Motion. | 00:44:30 | |
| Motion to approve. | 00:44:34 | |
| The ordinance with the additional changes that Gloria just mentioned. | 00:44:37 | |
| Second, can we have a motion and a second for for a line transfers? | 00:44:44 | |
| With the addition of 3G added into the ordinance, any discussion? | 00:44:49 | |
| So on this ordinance. | 00:44:54 | |
| I'm looking at it. | 00:45:01 | |
| Basically unappropriating those lines. | 00:45:05 | |
| So I I think I understand the top part, the general fund. | 00:45:11 | |
| About Can you tell me about the ARPA and the? | 00:45:17 | |
| Those are all the line transfers that you heard that all of them. You put them all on here. | 00:45:21 | |
| Got got it. OK, now I'm with you. I didn't know if this was more or just OK. | 00:45:27 | |
| Gotcha. I am I understand now. | 00:45:35 | |
| And 3G balances. | 00:45:38 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:45:40 | |
| All in favor for a say aye? Any opposed? | 00:45:43 | |
| That carries. | 00:45:47 | |
| Then we have the revision of our meetings for next year. | 00:45:49 | |
| And. | 00:45:54 | |
| Has kind of your deadline has kind of good. | 00:45:59 | |
| So we were almost as. | 00:46:03 | |
| Almost didn't get our appropriations. | 00:46:07 | |
| Because they they're getting more strict. | 00:46:10 | |
| What is the deadline for advertising in the base? | 00:46:14 | |
| But I have to get it to the tribute. | 00:46:17 | |
| At least 2 1/2 days before the advertisement. Oh wow. | 00:46:22 | |
| And that's statutory. The 10 days, that's statutory. | 00:46:29 | |
| Yeah, they they're really cracking down. They used to be okay. | 00:46:35 | |
| Yeah. | 00:46:41 | |
| OK. | 00:46:45 | |
| And this is just for. | 00:46:47 | |
| Appropriations not for basic. | 00:46:50 | |
| Just appropriations. | 00:46:53 | |
| Yes. | 00:46:57 | |
| Anybody wanna make a motion on 4B? | 00:47:04 | |
| So move. | 00:47:07 | |
| 2nd. | 00:47:09 | |
| Motion a second for 4B. Any further questions? | 00:47:10 | |
| Gloria. | 00:47:15 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:47:17 | |
| I have a question. | 00:47:23 | |
| So I'm looking at the fund balance. | 00:47:25 | |
| And the general fund ended. | 00:47:29 | |
| The year, I think this is pretty close to year end, although there's some things that are going to happen. | 00:47:32 | |
| Here not significant. | 00:47:37 | |
| Over $7,000,000. | 00:47:41 | |
| One looks like right now. | 00:47:45 | |
| That's not at all what we. | 00:47:49 | |
| Have been thinking what's going to happen. | 00:47:53 | |
| What can anybody explain the? | 00:47:56 | |
| Why the? | 00:47:59 | |
| I mean it remember you have to subtract 3.1 million from that for the shore up. | 00:48:02 | |
| 490020 that's what it is. That's what it is. I'm thinking it's 3 point, OK. | 00:48:07 | |
| So you got 7.4, Subtract 3.1. Now you're at. | 00:48:13 | |
| 3.3. | 00:48:18 | |
| 4.3, you know, 3 1/4, yeah. | 00:48:21 | |
| 4 million and then and I think the medical expenses are the other thing. So there we are. We're going to end the year somewhere | 00:48:24 | |
| around $4 million. | 00:48:30 | |
| Financial reports so everyone can see what the balance is ended with. | 00:48:37 | |
| But it looks like it's going to be somewhere around $4 million. | 00:48:43 | |
| Which is about what we expected. | 00:48:46 | |
| Think so. | 00:48:51 | |
| In the projection. | 00:48:52 | |
| We started off around 3 and it was improving as we went along, but yeah. | 00:48:56 | |
| OK. | 00:49:02 | |
| OK, I'll go any further with my thoughts there. | 00:49:04 | |
| OK, umm. | 00:49:08 | |
| Yeah, started your 3 second. | 00:49:09 | |
| Yeah, I I seen that. So we pretty much are going to end where we started. | 00:49:12 | |
| We stayed within our receipts for the year. | 00:49:18 | |
| Kudos to us, honestly. | 00:49:21 | |
| They did excellent this year. They were very, very fiscal and savvy. They searched high and low for. | 00:49:25 | |
| Wheels they do not know. | 00:49:32 | |
| We didn't have to ask for very many additional appropriations we needed this year at all. They all stayed within their budgets for | 00:49:36 | |
| the most part. It was kudos to your department as they did an excellent this year. | 00:49:40 | |
| It really did. | 00:49:47 | |
| And they must have done a really good job budgeting, I mean. | 00:49:48 | |
| That's what you're saying if they did a really good job budgeting so hopefully for 2025. | 00:49:52 | |
| Would be the same. | 00:49:58 | |
| I would just just for fun. | 00:50:04 | |
| This is what politicians say. Look at all we did and we have. | 00:50:07 | |
| Balanced budget. | 00:50:12 | |
| That's a good tagline. You know, it sounds good. We have a balance budget. | 00:50:15 | |
| Oh, and also, I just like to say a few things up. Just a word about the passing Mr. Carr, former President Jimmy Carter. | 00:50:19 | |
| I just like to say that we should all aspire to. | 00:50:26 | |
| Be somewhat like him, and as far as his he had a. | 00:50:30 | |
| A deep faith, a deep conviction, and he was a great humanitarian and we should all aspire to be better human beings as he was. | 00:50:34 | |
| And the same condolences to his family. | 00:50:43 | |
| A lot of the service. | 00:50:46 | |
| Anybody from the public wish to speak? | 00:50:51 | |
| Any council members have anything else to say? | 00:50:55 | |
| I will entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved Sagitt. | 00:51:02 | |
| We adjourned. We'll see you. | 00:51:06 | |
| 25. | 00:51:08 |
