good evening mayor commission how are you doing this evening so tonight is the kickoff of our first budget workshop for the fiscal year 2627 um just talk closer to the microphone apologize uh mayor commission this is the first presentation for our fiscal year 2627 budget workshops first thing that i just want to kind point out to you is we've placed a binder on your um dais there if you open it you will see that i actually put an entire copy of this evening's presentation um on the left pocket i want to point out just for all future reference is the calendar for this year's scheduled workshops i'd like to just point out that originally when i stood before you all back in february this was scheduled to be a workshop um for this evening and we changed it to a special meeting to accommodate the um presentations that were done this evening so that's there then every um item that all the boards all eight sections are all tabbed within your binder um for your reference as you might have notes and when you go to meet with doc robin and i um over the next couple of weeks so you'll also see there's a lot of people in here normally you see me with keong and tory sitting um in a corner as we go through this so i'd just like to point out that there are representatives of every department and most divisions so i'm just gonna i'm just gonna say all their first names so you know you've seen our emails back and forth um over time but i'm just going to point everyone out you have matt from planning freshta from planning tony from streets nick from finance sebastian from parks audrey from finance sean from parks um chief cousins fire keong finance paula finance pam hr rob um it um cindy finance joanne finance adam fire eddie from fleet tom from fleet public works joseph from stormwater steve from stormwater phyllis from public works audrey from finance my father glenn from public works jim from um utilities and tory from finance and of course our deputies from the law sheriff's office over there so anyway um we've all put together um this little thing tonight as i said to the mayor previously number one i was skeptical at first about this but i just want to say up front skeptical however with all of us working together these past two weeks normally we get all of this we put it together and then we come back to the commissioners what we don't believe we have the funding for this so we have to take things off the table with all of us working together with you know over the past two weeks you know putting these boards and everything together we've actually i believe come up with a better product so for the cip capital outlay section of the workshops i think this is absolutely a great idea um so with that i'm going to start and whereas normally i would go through 29 slides i'm actually going to go through less than 10. so i'm going to come to a stopping point after slide five we're going to break for for up to 60 minutes you're going to have we're going to tell you where to go which table to go to first and then you're going to have seven minutes to speak with everybody about what's on their table then after seven minutes the timer will go off and then you're just going to move clockwise through the building when that completes then we will roughly have 11 minutes remaining for the hour at that time all the public that's in here will have an opportunity to themselves speak to anyone and everyone at the tables we just ask politely mayor that while you're given that opportunity the public might be standing behind you listening but that's your time with those individuals at the table so i would just ask the public to please um give the mayor and the commission those that first um 49 minutes so that y'all get that one-on-one and then they have that opportunity afterwards and then after this evening's meeting mayor we will stay an extra few minutes so if there's any additional questions that the public might have we'll be more than happy to answer those questions for them so with that this evening's workshop is about the capital improvement plan you'll hear us commonly just refer that to cip capital outlay and service enhancements okay this evening we're going to go over the parameters the capital improvements capital outlay enhancement request and we're going to brief briefly talk about city fees and special assessments oh and if you didn't get copies public we did put copies of everything on the back table i apologize for that the parameters is everything that you're seeing this evening are preliminary we've taken best guess we know that we roughly have two million dollars annually available for stormwater we know that we roughly have three million dollars available from local option gas tax to go towards street resurfacing sidewalk infill and any roadway improvements so we know some of the bases we also know that a lot of our projects are dependent on interagency revenues we won't know what those revenues are until june to mid to late july everything is subject to a rate and fee study everything you know the rates are approved by you by resolution and we have some fee studies that will be coming back in the late july early i'm sorry late june early july time frame that when we go to do our workshop mid july we'll have a lot of those finalized and as all always things are also contingent on the operating millage that you approve first with the maximum millage that you set in july and then the final millage rate that you set at the two workshops in in september and then there's also some projects that we're talking about that are contingent on financing i'm going to briefly talk to you about some items over here regarding stormwater as well as some of our major fleet replacements as well as some ways to fund transportation and fireplace our fire station replacement or remodels so there's some financing conversations that need to occur during this workshop cycle terms of no capital outlay it's spending to acquire capital assets vehicle and equipment it's worth more than five thousand dollars and has a life expectancy greater than a year cip it's to improve our community roads facilities or infrastructure those are typically things that you don't see they're under the ground or they're in an area of the city that no one ever sees other than jim glenn and phyllis you have operations and maintenance i need to fix the fire engine or i need to fix a vac-con truck that's o and m that's maintenance r and r renewal and replacement you know we even look you know rehab certain um equipment you know do we replace an ac or do we replace a motor we went to the granular level is eddie back here in fleet we had requests because of our policy says that trailers are to be replaced after 10 years but then we went to the fire department and say hey this trailer's kept under storage we only use it maybe once or twice a year because it's something that we it's it has specialized equipment in it so eddie and them went actually went there and looked at it and said hey instead of spending fifteen thousand dollars on a trailer can we just put some new axles and maybe a wrap on it for a couple of thousand dollars and that extends the life of it that was recognized so we moved money from a replacement to just a renewal and enhancements we have two types of enhancements we have enhancement it would be a program or service that we don't currently provide that we're wanting to implement or it could be a level of service at the last commission meeting you approved the mid-year budget which added two new code enforcement officers that was an enhancement to an existing service so those are the the five key things that we need to remember as we go through the workshop and as always i know you've always heard me say this before the budget process is fluid it will change meeting the meeting workshop to workshop i will say something today but i will come back and say commissioner santiago this has changed since the last meeting and here's why so remember as we go through this if something major changed we will have a crosswalk that's that shows what changed from this meeting to that meeting so that we're never trying to um as they say pull wool over you okay okay so at this point in time we're going to start our tabletop breakout section sessions okay so as we you know i can read this off if you would like but we have general construction projects which is commissioner novick that will be back here parks projects commissioner santiago is over here transportation mayor over here water and sewer over there storm water in the center capital outlay fleet in the back and as soon as y'all step down here i'm actually going to put the board up for enhancements i guess stated there will be someone from every department and division to answer any and all questions that y'all might have for anything that's presented this evening so with that said mayor we will go into our breakouts and reconvene um john yes sir for those that get done quicker than the seven minutes we can that way we can give right absolutely two extra minutes at the end as well absolutely yes sir and if at the end of the day y'all are done in 30 minutes we will then at that point in time give the public 10 minutes perfect thank you thank you uh vice mayor harriet oh
