[6. UPDATE FROM CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, WHITNEY RICHLAND REGARDING THE YEAR TO DATE FINANCIALS. ]

AND IN THE PRIOR MONTH THROUGH NOVEMBER THOSE BALLOON TAXES WILL AT TWO POINT SEVEN MILLION. SO JUST REALLY WHEN I GIVE MARIA AND HER DEPARTMENT SOME SOME PRAISE FOR MOMENT FOUR FOR DOING A GREAT JOB AND THAT'S JUST THE COUNTY PIECE I REMEMBER WE'RE COLLECTING TAXES FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY. BUT THE PIECE THAT BELONGS TO BEEF THAT WE RETAIN AND KEEP FOR OUR OPERATIONS IS 30 MILLION DOLLAR MARK.

SO JUST REAL SHOUT OUT TO HER. BUT BACK TO THE TOP. I HAVE A TOTAL BUDGET OF 130 MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY ONE DOLLARS IN THE AMOUNT COLLECTED TODAY.

THAT MEANS THAT WE WILL STILL STAND TO COLLECT EIGHTY SIX MILLION NINE HUNDRED TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DOLLARS. SO THAT IS APPROXIMATELY THIRTY THREE POINT THREE PERCENT OF OUR BUDGET. AND AGAIN EVEN THOUGH 50 PERCENT OF THE YEAR HAS GONE BY SIX MONTHS COMPLETED, WE WERE REALLY OPTIMISTIC AND HOPEFUL THAT WITH THESE CONTINUED TAX COLLECTIONS THAT WILL TURN ON ITS HEAD IN THE NEXT MONTH AND WE WILL HAVE HAVE COLLECTED MORE THAN THAT 50 PERCENT MARK THE GRAPH WILL KIND OF A DEPICTION AGAIN YOU'VE GOT

FISCAL YEAR 21 IN BLUE AND FISCAL 20 IN GREEN. >> WITH THAT RED LINE JUST KIND

[00:05:02]

THE LAST ONE WE RECEIVED WAS IN OCTOBER WHICH WAS THE PERIOD OF THROUGH SEPTEMBER SO WE SHOULD SEE THAT NUMBER INCREASE AGAIN IN JANUARY OR THE PERIOD OF OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER FROM RIGHT JUST BELOW THAT. WE HAVE FINES AND FORFEITURES. WE'VE COLLECTED ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT DOLLARS OUT OF SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY NINE THOUSAND HUNDRED DOLLAR BUDGET. SO THAT'S 25 PERCENT ON THE NOSE.

AND AGAIN THIS IS KIND OF THE SAME EXPLANATION MOST OF THAT CATEGORY IS COMPRISED OF MAGISTRATE COURT COLLECTIONS AND DUE TO DELAYS AND REOPENING AND COURT CASES GETTING CALLED THAT WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE TO LAG MOST LIKELY FOR THE YEAR BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY CATCH UP THE INTEREST AGAIN IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO AT THE END OF A CAP INTO THE FISCAL YEAR WHICH IS WHY IT'S A LITTLE BIT LOW RIGHT NOW. AND THEN THE MISCELLANEOUS CATEGORY WE HAD A GOOD BIT OF AN UPTICK THROUGH DECEMBER OUT OF ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLAR BUDGET WE'VE COLLECTED THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY ONE DOLLARS WHICH IS JUST OVER 50 ALMOST 37 PERCENT THERE. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS WE'VE HAD A GREAT DEAL OF FOYER PAYMENTS BUT WE ALSO HAD MISCELLANEOUS ELECTRICITY REFUND FROM DOMINION THAT WAS THOUSAND DOLLARS OF THAT AMOUNT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS YOU GUYS ASKED ME TO FOLLOW UP ON IN THE NOVEMBER FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING EXCUSE ME DECEMBER FOR THE PERIOD OF NOVEMBER WAS ABOUT THE SALES OF SURPLUS PROPERTY. AND SO WHAT I'VE LEARNED THAT WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A SET SCHEDULE FOR SALES OF OF COUNTY PROPERTY JUST KIND OF COMES AS DIFFERENT ITEMS REACHED THE END OF THEIR USEFUL LIFE OR REQUEST OUT IN AN AUCTION. SO WE DID COMPLETE ONE OF THOSE RECENTLY AND PROBABLY WILL RECEIVE THAT NEXT MONTH. SO THAT NUMBER SHOULD CHANGE AS WELL. AND THEN AGAIN YOU KNOW, TRICK OR WRITE WITH ONE POINT OR 3 PERCENT OR SO. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT REVENUE? MR. CHAIRMAN, CAN I ASK A QUESTION? YES.

YES, GO AHEAD. >> OK, I DON'T THINK YOU COVERED THE CHARGES FOR SERVICES YOU DID. IT SEEMS THAT YOUR ARM WAS YEAH.

YOU SEEM LIKE WE ALL OVER BUDGET. I MEAN WE COLLECTING MUCH BETTER THAN WE SHOULD. SO SHOULD WE EXPECT THAT TO EVEN DOUBLE WHICH WILL COVER SOME OF THE OTHER EXPENSES THAT I MEAN REVENUES THAT WE FALLING SHORT OF ?

>> YES. >> YEAH. OKAY.

YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M SORRY I SKIPPED OVER THAT. THEY ARE REGISTERED DEEDS.

AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW THIS RECORDING YOUR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS AND THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY OF THOSE. MOST LIKELY EXCEED THAT EIGHT POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET. THAT IS THE TOTAL FOR ALL CHARGES FOR SERVICES ACROSS THE COUNTY FOR THE GENERAL FUND AND WE ARE ALREADY AT A POINT EIGHT MILLION IN MOST OF THAT IS FOR THE REGISTRY OF DEEDS SAID WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO IS MONITOR THAT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

NICK, THAT IS ACTUALLY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD OVER THAT SERVICE FOR US AND HE IS PROJECTING QUITE A LARGE AMOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. HIS ESTIMATE 9 MILLION.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THE COUNTY KEEPS THAT ENTIRE PORTION OF THE 9 MILLION.

I KNOW WE KEEP A GOOD BIT OF THAT BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST GOING TO BE FOR US BUT I WILL FIND OUT FROM OUR FIRM NUMBER ON THAT. BE GLAD TO REPORT THAT BACK TO

YOU IN EMAIL IF YOU'D LIKE. CRAIG GOOD CATCH YORK. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR MISS RICHLAND? WELL, WHITNEY, WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

SO GREAT JOB. WE APPRECIATE. APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO OKATIE.

[00:10:05]

>> ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET'S GET SENATORS CUT. YES, MA'AM.

SORRY. ALL RIGHT. SO RIBAUT OUR ORIGINAL BUDGET FOR ERIC CARRY OVER MOUNT SO OUR TOTAL FISCAL 21 BUDGET AS OF THIS DATE AND TIME IS ONE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE MILLION THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN DOLLARS ARE TODAY OR 60 MILLION THREE HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE ELEVEN DOLLARS WITH ENCUMBRANCES OF EIGHT MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED SEVENTEEN.

>> SO AGAIN I KNOW COUNCILMAN FLEW I FLEW ELLING LIKES MY LAYMAN'S TERM FOR FINANCE DISCUSSIONS BUT AGAIN THAT THAT CHUNK THAT WE HAVE KIND OF COMMITTED OURSELVES TO AS AT THIS POINT TIME IS SIXTY NINE MILLION ONE HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT DOLLARS WHICH MEANS WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY SIX HUNDRED OR EXCUSE ME SIXTY TO NINETEEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE LEFT OF THE BUDGET OFFICE TO THIS YEAR AND JUST BELOW THAT YOU'LL SEE THAT THOSE TWO COMBINED THE ACTUAL ENCUMBRANCES ARE ABOUT 50 TO PERCENT OF THE TOTAL FOR THE YEAR AND WE ARE ABOUT TO PERCENTAGE THEN THE YEAR COMPLETED IN THE SIX MONTHS. BUT AGAIN YOU KNOW SOME OF THAT THOSE ARE THE THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED BUT NOT FOR CONTRACTS THAT WILL OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

SO I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IN OUR BUDGET AT THIS POINT IN TIME. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE GRAPH.

PAUL CHAIRMAN. YES, GO AHEAD, BRIAN. SURE.

WHITNEY, YOUR CUT AND IN AND OUT A LITTLE BIT. COULD YOU REPEAT THAT LAST

STATEMENT TO ME? >> SURE. >> DID YOU HEAR THE PERCENTAGE

COMPARISON? >> YES. BUT THEN AFTER I CAN HEAR YOU SAID SOMETHING AND BOB BUT YOU MISS IT. MISS IT.

MISS IT. NOT WORRIED. WHAT WAS IT THAT I'M MISSING? YES, THERE. I'M NOT I'M NOT WORRIED THAT IT'S EVER EXPANDING OUR BUDGET FOR THE YEAR EVEN THOUGH WE'RE 52 PERCENT OF THE YEAR IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'VE COMMITTED

OURSELVES. OKAY. >> SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE YEAR. YOU KNOW, WE'RE VERY CONCERNED AND THINKING ABOUT GETTING A TAN RIGHT NOW. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE EXPENDITURES THAT WE HAVE COMMITTED TO, WHAT'S THE RANGE ON THOSE THAT ARE ABOVE AND BEYOND OUR MONTHLY PAYROLL REQUIREMENT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS? WHAT WHAT KIND OF RANGE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IN ORDER TO FOR THOSE EXPENDITURES TO COME INTO THE HORIZON AND BASICALLY

ASKING WHETHER OR NOT THIS THIS TAN WILL BE NECESSARY SPIRIT. >> SO I THINK WE COULDN'T HAVE

TWO DIFFERENT THINGS HERE. >> I MEAN BACK AT MY THOUGHTS A LITTLE SAY USUALLY A TAX IS BEING COLLECTED ON THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR WE WOULD HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED TWO OF OUR REVENUE FOR THE ENTIRETY OF A YEAR AND SO WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN KIND LIKE A SAVINGS

ACCOUNT YOU RECEIVE IT IN A CHUNK AND YOU HOLD IT. >> I'M SORRY WE RECEIVE.

I LIKE THAT WE HOLD IT THERE AND THEN WE LIVE OFF OF THAT. WE LIVE OFF OF THOSE COLLECTIONS KIND OF LIKE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT FOR THE REST YEAR.

AND SO EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT CONCERNED FROM A BUDGETARY IT'S BEING A LITTLE BIT PERCENT MARK THAT'S KIND OF A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM NEEDING THE TAN BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE THE CASH TO CONTINUE PAYING OUR VENDORS. WITHOUT THE TAN BECAUSE WE'RE NOT WE DON'T ALREADY HAVE THAT COLLECTED TO LIVE OFF OF . DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

>> YES. THANK YOU. OKAY.

OKAY. SURE. ALL RIGHT.

GREAT. ALL RIGHT. IN THE IN THE GRAPH BELOW YOU WILL NOTICE AGAIN THAT A LOT OF OUR OUR CATEGORIES LIKE GENERAL GOVERNMENT AND EVEN PUBLIC SAFETY AND PUBLIC WORKS, THEY ARE PRETTY CLOSE IN PUBLIC HEALTH TOO.

>> THEY'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER IN TERMS OF WHAT WE SPENT IN THE PRIOR YEAR AND WHAT WE ARE SPENDING IN FISCAL 2 A TON OF FLUCTUATION THERE. BUT THEN WHEN YOU GET ON TO THEIR CULTURE AND RECREATION OTHER AND CAPITAL PROJECTS YOU SEE A GREAT DEAL MORE

FLUCTUATION THERE. >> AND A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL THAT WILL SORT OF EXPLAIN THAT

[00:15:03]

SO FOR AGAIN NOT A LOT IS CHANGED. THEY HAVE SOME PEO ISSUED AND THAT IS WHAT IS SORT OF ARTIFICIAL THAT AMOUNT THAT'S EXPENSE IS SHOWING ELEVEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHT DOLLARS OF A TOTAL BUDGET OF SEVENTEEN MILLION SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED EIGHT.

SO IT SEEMS A LITTLE BIT INFLATED. YES THAT WILL BE EXPENSED THROUGHOUT THE SERVICES ARE RENDERED. I BELIEVE THAT WE'VE GOT OUR PUBLIC HEALTH. WE ARE CURRENTLY AT FORTY THREE POINT FIVE FOR THE YEAR.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN THE 50 PERCENT MARK. NOT A HUGE VARIANCE THERE.

NOT PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION FOR THAT WHEN PUBLIC WELFARE IS RIGHT WHERE IT SHOULD BE AND THEN ON DOWN TO CULTURE AND RECREATION. IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME DEAL AS WHAT WE HAD LAST MONTH. SO EXPENDITURES ARE LESS THAN EXPECTED MAINLY DUE TO PERSONNEL COSTS AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES COVERED PRESENTS A LOT OF CHALLENGES IN BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SAME LEVEL AND WE ALWAYS WOULD WITHOUT COVERED AND WE ARE I THINK DOING THE BEST WE CAN. SHE CONTINUED PROVIDING SERVICES TO CITIZENS BUT SINCE THEY ARE NOT AS FULL FLEDGED AS WE'RE SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF A REDUCTION THERE AND THE AMOUNT THAT IN THE OTHER CATEGORY AGAIN SAME THING THE OF OUR COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FROM THE ESCROW FUNDS AND THEN FINALLY AND CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT AMOUNT YOU'LL NOTICE THIS MONTH THIS OUT OF A TOTAL BUDGET OF NINE HUNDRED AND SIX THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY SIX AND NINE HUNDRED NINETY SEVEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SIXTY DOLLARS. AND BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE SPENT MORE THAN WE'VE BUDGETED BUT IN THE DETAIL BELOW THAT YOU WILL SEE THE MAIN REASON FOR THAT IS IN THE PRIOR MONTH YOU MIGHT REMEMBER AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF AN AMBULANCE AND THE REASON WE DID THAT WAS BECAUSE ONE OF OURS WAS TOTALED AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS WILL KICK TO OR HAVE KICKED IN TO OFFSET THAT OVERAGE. SO IT EVEN THOUGH THAT REVENUE DOESN'T DIRECTLY REDUCE THE EXPENDITURE ON THE BOOKS, WE KNOW THAT THAT EXCESS IS COVERED .

SO DOES ANY ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT OR I'M SEEING NONE.

>> LET ME JUST CHECK MY NETS AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT I NEEDED TO GIVE YOU A FOLLOW UP ON. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING. OKAY.

GOOD. >> THANK YOU, RENEE. AGAIN, WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU SEEM TO MAKE THINGS MUCH EASIER AND CLEARER TO UNDERSTAND FOR ALL OF US. THANK YOU. LET'S MOVE ON TO THE DISCUSSION

ITEMS ON ITEM NUMBER 7. >> I JUST GOT MY NOTEBOOK. YES, YES.

JIM, BEFORE WE LEAVE THE PRESENTATION BY WHITNEY WHEN WE CREATED THE BUDGET WE DID NOT PUT ANY REVENUES IN FROM HILTON HEAD ISLAND FOR POLICE SERVICES.

NOW THAT THE TAX BILLS HAVE GONE OUT, THE POLICE SERVICE IS FEE IS NOW PART OF THAT.

TWO QUESTIONS HOW ARE WE ACCOUNTING FOR THAT AND DO WE NEED TO DO ANY KIND

OF AMENDMENT TO OUR BUDGET FOR THAT MONEY? >> I WOULD SAY YES TO THE BUDGET AMENDMENT. I THINK THAT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT GOING FORWARD IN AS FAR AS ACCOUNTING FOR THAT GOES WINDOWS CITY AND I HOPE THAT THEY COME THROUGH THE TREASURER'S OFFER THEY WILL BE DEPOSITED AND THEN WE WILL RECEIVE THAT NOTIFICATION AND

RECORD THOSE FEES AT THAT TIME. >> OKAY. SO YOU'LL PRESENT WHEN WE NEED TO DO A FUTURE BUDGET AMENDMENT TO THE BUDGET? YES, SIR.

>> AND MY PLAN IS TO TRY TO HAVE ONE READY FOR THE FINAL COUNCIL MEETING IN FEBRUARY SO THAT YOU GUYS WILL SORT OF KNOW WHERE WE ARE IN TERMS OF A PROJECTION ON OUR REVENUE IN TOTAL AND ALSO WITH THE EXPENDITURE PIECE AND PART OF THAT AGAIN.

AS YOU'LL RECALL WHEN THEY APPROVED A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WERE NOT BUDGETED ITEMS SUCH AS THE CAP THAT PRETTY LARGE A WE WANT TO DO A BUDGET FOR THAT.

>> OKAY, GREAT. THANKS IN. I JUST WANT TO ADD ONE THING.

[00:20:06]

ALAN THE MONEY FROM APPLE IS REPORTED IN THE GENERAL FUND. THE REVENUES BE REPORTED IN A SEPARATE FUND AND THEN WE'RE GONNA NEED TO TRANSFER THOSE INTO THE GENERAL FUND TO OFFSET

THOSE RELATED EXPENSES IF THAT MONEY. >> NO, THANK YOU.

I BELIEVE THAT'S THE WAY WE HAD STRUCTURED THIS SO THAT WE COULD ALWAYS ACCOUNT FOR EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR THAT WAS COLLECTED THAT IN FACT IT WAS GOING TO GO FOR THE SHERIFF SERVICES FOR HILTON HEAD AND CORRECT. YES, SIR.

GOOD. ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION FOR SWITZERLAND?

[7. DISCUSSION ON LOCAL ACCOMMODATIONS TAX AND HOSPITALITY TAX ]

>> IF NOT, LET'S MOVE ON TO OUR DISCUSSION ITEMS DISCUSSION NUMBER AND NUMBER 7 DISCUSSION ON LOCAL ACCOMMODATIONS, TAX AND HOSPITALITY TAX HAVENS. IS THIS.

YES, THAT'S ME. >> BERNARD, CAN YOU PULL THERE'S TWO REPORTS THAT I HAD A PATCH GO THE NET. OKAY. START RIGHT.

LET'S START RIGHT HERE. THIS IS A RECAP OF OUR 20 20 LOCAL HOSPITALITY TAX AND IT PRETTY WELL SHOWS US WHERE WE WANT TO GO. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO AWARD NEXT YEAR. WE HAD A TOTAL REVENUE TWO POINT THREE MILLION AND INTEREST ALLOCATED OF THIRTY TWO THOUSAND AND WE HAD OUR PERSONNEL WHICH IS OUR BUSINESS LICENSE. PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY COLLECT THIS FEE FOR US PART OF THEIR SALARIES AND OPERATIONS ARE ALLOCATED HERE AND THEN BELOW IT YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE OUT WHAT WE GAVE OUT FOR THE YEAR WITH THE ST. HELENA PARKING LOT LEASES BACKWASH TRAILS OPEN LAND TRUST THE HAYWARD HOUSE AT CAMPBELL HOUSE, FRIENDS OF HUNTING ISLAND AND PORT ROYAL SOUND FOUNDATION AND THE SPANISH MOSS TRAIL WHICH GIVES US EXCESS REVENUES OVER EXPENDITURE. TYPICALLY WE'VE ALWAYS TRANSFERRED OUT ONE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE GENERAL FUND FOR POLICING AND FIRE AND THAT GIVES US A DEFICIT OF 14 WHICH OUR FUND BALANCES TWO POINT THREE MILLION IN ANY NAZIS TWO POINT.

THE KEY POINT TO MAKE. BUT TO NOTE HERE DOWN THE LINE AND THIS IS WHAT ONE CRUX IS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR A RESOLUTION FOR IS THE FACTORY CREEK BOAT LANDING THAT 77 THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE DOLLARS THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN IN WHAT I WOULD BE ASKING THE COUNTY COUNCIL FOR IS THAT WE REMOVE THAT AND THAT GO INTO FUND BALANCE SO THAT WE CAN AWARD THAT THIS YEAR THE S.S. HAVEN LEANING IMPROVEMENTS ARE STILL GOING STRONG. WE HAVEN'T SPENT MUCH OF THAT FROM THE WARD LAST YEAR AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT SPANISH MOSS TRAIL PLANNING AND THERE WILL ACTUALLY BE FOUR COUNTY PROJECTS FUNDS THAT WE HAVE ENCUMBERED. BUT IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ON THIS PARTICULAR SCHEDULE FOR THE LOCAL HOSPITALITY IN FACT FOR THE YEAR AND IN 2020 I DO HAVE A QUESTION CASE BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID WOULD WOULD YOU BE ASKING FOR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE FULL COUNCIL FOR THOSE ITEMS?

>> YES. WELL, NO, NO. THOSE WERE AWARDED LAST YEAR.

OK. ARE YOU ASKING IS TO CLOSE OUT THAT FACTORY CREEK BOAT RAMP FOR THE SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND AND PUT THAT IN THE FUND BALANCE SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN ANY YEAR AS WE SEE WHAT OUR FUND BALANCES THE LOCAL H TAX IS UP TO THAT FUND BALANCES WHO THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE IN THE BANK. NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING TO BE HERE NEXT YEAR. SO I WANT TO PUT THAT LET'S HOPE.

SEVENTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS DOWN INTO FUND BALANCE BECAUSE WE HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL LIST OF PROJECTS FOR THIS YEAR BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE COUNTY THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY WORTHWHILE. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO TOTALLY FUND EVERYTHING. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO FINANCE DEGREE.

SO WE COULD BRING IT TO COUNCIL FOR A VOTE. OKAY.

WEIGHING IT CURRENT WEIGHING IN BECAUSE THIS IS A USE OF FUND BALANCE MONEY.

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE BY COUNTY COUNCIL AND NOT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE? I MEAN IT'S UNDER THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT THEY HAVE TO ACT UPON BUT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE USE OF FUND BALANCE. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE DONE BY COUNTY COUNCIL? I BELIEVE SO. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD GO FROM THE

[00:25:01]

ALL RIGHT. I STAND TO BE CORRECTED IF WE FACE OR WOULDN'T YOU THINK OTHERWISE. SO SO FAR TODAY WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE REMOVING THAT OR REPLACING IT BACK INTO THE FUND BALANCE AND RIBAUT TO COUNCIL.

>> COUNCILMAN LAWSON IT ONCE I GET OVER I MORE HAVE KIND OF TWO PARTS OF THE RESOLUTION WON'T BE ON THE HOSPITALITY AND THE OTHER WILL ACCOMMODATION FACTS THAT KIND OF MOVE STUFF

AROUND. >> SO WHAT I HOPE TO DO IS DO ONE RESOLUTION CALLED ONE MOTION BASED ON ONE PATH ENCOUNTERS. SO SHOULD WANT TO HAVE AN WOULD WANT I INCLUDED THAT IN OUR ACTION ITEMS UNDER UNDER OUR LINE ITEM TEN THEN IS THAT

CORRECT? >> SO WE HAVE TWO LOCAL TAXES IN THE NATION HOSPITALITY AND I ALSO GET OVER THE 20 RENT KEEP IT UP THE 21 WAS THE ACCOMMODATIONS TAX SCHEDULE

THAT I HAVE AT THAT. >> THERE IT IS. >> CAN YOU BLOW IT UP A LITTLE BIT? OK. SO THIS THIS SCHEDULE HERE IS IS THE COMBINATION IS FACT FOR THE YEAR AND BY STATUTE EVERYTHING IS SPLIT OUT OF PERCENTAGE WISE EXCEPT FOR THE COUNTY WIDE ADVERTISING. THIS IS WHERE WE ALL DEDICATE THE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND TO THE BEEF REPORT RIBAUT CPB THE HEAD BLUFFTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN THE COUNTY BLACK CHAMBER COMMERCE THAT'S ALL ABOUT STATUTE THE TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE RIVER AND BEACH ACCESS ARE ALLOCATED AND THE RESERVE FUNDS ALLOCATED BY FUND. AND SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE GOES DOWN.

WE ALLOCATE PART OF THE PERSONNEL IN PURCHASE SERVICE TO US FROM BUSINESS LICENSE HERE. SO YOU SEE THAT FIFTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS THERE AND OPERATIONS AND THEN COUNTY WIDE ADVERTISING THAT'S YOUR 50, 150 AND 150 AND THEN YOU SPLIT OUT BETWEEN TOURISM AND INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH IS WHAT WE AWARDED LAST YEAR AND TWO IN 2008 CAME HAD A PAYMENT FOR THE PARKING LOT. ALSO WE HAD TEN THOUSAND WE SPENT SO FAR ON PIN CENTER PHASE 1 THEY WERE WORLD SERIES BASEBALL ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN. ANYWAY IF YOU CAN READ THROUGH ALL THOSE EXPENSES AND THEN WE HAD THE RIGHT FAMILY PARK IN THE COUNTY BLUFFTON TO THE TUNE OF THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS THEN WE HAD TOLD BLUFFTON THAT WE HELP THEM WITH AND WE PAID THAT.

AND THEN WE HAD A COUPLE OTHER RIVER ACCESS WHICH IS A BROADER FISHING PIER IN THE STATE PARK.

THEN FOR THE LIFEGUARDS WE PAY A PART THAT WE'LL SEE DOWN IN THE ENCUMBRANCES THE CITY OF BEAUFORT HAS THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT'S A BRIDGE OVER FROM ITS BASE ACROSS THE RIVER TO THE BLIGHT HALL PARK. THAT'S IT.

THEY WON'T ASK FOR AN ADDITIONAL THREE AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THAT IN THE COMING YEAR BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE MORE LIKE 750 OR 650 TO DO IT.

BUT THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TOWARD THIS YEAR. THE BROADER FISHING PIER INSPECTIONS ARE ENCUMBERED. AND THEN THE PAINT CENTERS STILL HAS ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS REMAINING IN THEIR PHASE ONE PROJECT.

BUT WHAT I WANTED. FINANCED RECOMMEND IS THERE ANY SIXTY SIX THOUSAND SITTING IN HERE IN FUND BALANCE FROM OPERATIONS AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE ACCOMMODATIONS FACTS TO MOVE THAT FUND BALANCE OVER INTO TOURISM AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND RIVERS AND BEACH ACCESS 50/50 SO WE CAN AWARD SOME OF THESE WORKS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR DESIGNED BY RUSSIANS QUESTIONS ANYONE? YES MR. CHAIRMAN, I JUST SO THAT I I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE IF THE WHITEHALL FACTORY CRITIQUE DOES LEFTOVER FUNDS THAT PROJECT ITSELF RIGHT AFTER THAT THAT WAS SO YEAH YOUR MADE THE WARD AND THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DRAWING DOWN ON THOSE FUNDS THAT THEY HAVEN'T DRAWN AND DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AT THE HAND DRAWN ANYTHING BENEFIT YEAR IN THAT ONE INVOICE FROM THE CITY BEFORE SIXTY THOUSAND

DOLLARS FOR PERMITTING AND PLANS FOR THAT BRIDGE. >> BUT THEY WANT TO GET THAT THAT PROJECT UP AND GO AND GET IT GOING INDIVIDUAL 350 ON THAT FOR THIS YEAR.

>> I WAS I WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO THE FACTORY CREEK BOAT RAMP YESTERDAY.

>> OKAY. SO YOU COME OUT OF 77? YES, I DID.

OBVIOUSLY IT'S JUST KIND OF SITTING OUT THERE AND SEEING PEPPERED.

[00:30:01]

QUESTION. HI. YOU GOT ALL THOSE BEING TAKEN OUT. AND I GUESS IF I DID MY MATH IF I SUBTRACT ALL THOSE NUMBERS THERE FROM THE TWO TWENTY TWO POINT THREE MIL MILLION NOW'S YES SIR.

I'LL END UP WITH A ONE POINT NINE MILLION. YES.

SIR. I'LL BE CORRECT. AND THAT'S THE FUN BALANCE IN

THE FUND BALANCE IS BASICALLY THERE'S OH I'M NO NO I'M GOOD. >> I GOT YOU.

THAT'S A PROTECTED FUND BALANCE AFTER ENCUMBRANCES. I GOT IT.

I'M FINE. I'LL GET THANK YOU. OKAY.

I THINK I'M ALSO READING SOMETIMES. THANK GOD WE'RE GOOD.

COULDN'T ANY OTHER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? SO MR. HAYES, WHAT YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO US IS IS TO TAKE THE SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND AND THE THREE HUNDRED SIXTY SIX THOUSAND SIX WILL SPLIT BETWEEN THE TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE AND

THE RIVER BEACH ACCESS. >> IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING US TO DO?

>> YES. OR IF LOOK PAST THAT THEN I'LL GET INTO AN ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION FOR COUNCIL NEXT WEEK. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE

TO MAKE THAT MOTION SO MOVEMENTS? >> I'LL SECOND IT, MR. CHAIRMAN . MOTION WAS MADE BY MR. FLOWING AND SECONDED BY MR. GLOVER.

ANY ANY ANY DISCUSSION ON IT? MARK STERLING? YES.

TO MR. CHAIRMAN, THE ITEMS THAT WE ALLOCATE MONEY FOR AND GO THROUGH AN ORDINANCE FOR THESE ITEMS. I GUESS THE QUESTION FOR KIRK IS SINCE WE'RE MOVING SOME MONEY AROUND, DO WE HAVE TO DO AN ORDINANCE OR DO WE HAVE TO DO IS A RESOLUTION SATISFACTORY

HERE? >> I THINK A RESOLUTION SATISFACTORY.

OKAY. GREAT. TO CLARIFY, MR. CHAIRMAN, MY MOTION IS TO FORWARD A RESOLUTION TO COUNTY COUNCIL DOING THOSE TWO THINGS WE JUST

TALKED ABOUT WITH OUR BUDGET. >> THANK YOU, MR. FLEMING FOR CLARIFYING THAT.

>> IS THERE ANY OBJECTIONS IF THERE IS NO OBJECTIONS? WE WILL APPROVE THIS.

WITHOUT OBJECTION. ANY OBJECTION? ALL RIGHT.

THE MOTION PASSES AND LET'S MOVE ON THEN TO TWO OUT OF IT FOR WE MOVE ON.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR HAYES. HOWEVER RECEIPTS GOING I DIDN'T SEE THAT YET. THE RECEIPTS ARE COMING IN SLOWLY BUT IT IS THE ACCOMMODATIONS. I HAVE A REPORT ON THAT THAT I COULD PROBABLY SHARE NEXT

MEETING. >> BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CYCLE IS IS GETTING CAUGHT UP. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHERE WE'RE GOING END UP WITH THIS KIND OF A SHOT IN THE DARK. BUT I CAN GIVE A REPORTED NEXT NEXT FINANCE MEETING IF YOU'D LIKE ABOUT WHERE WE ARE. SHARE WELL, WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED PAYMENTS IN SEPTEMBER AND DECEMBER, CORRECT? WELL YEAH WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING THEM SINCE JULY.

YES SIR. THEY. OH AT MY FINGERTIPS.

I'M JUST WONDERING WHETHER SEPTEMBER WAS HIGHER THAN THE PREVIOUS CYCLES PREVIOUS TIME CYCLE GETTING 20 20 DARK MEAN VERSUS 20 20 AND THE SAME WITH THE DECEMBER PAYMENT.

YOU KNOW IF I CAN REPORT ON THAT NEXT. THAT NEXT UP NEXT.

THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. >> OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MR.. FOR ALLOWING. MR. WILLIAMS A GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS. APPRECIATE YOU TAKING CARE OF THE.

[8. DISCUSSION/ UPDATE ON THE CURRENT TAX COLLECTIONS BY THE BEAUFORT COUNTY TREASURER ]

IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD, PLEASE. >> SURE.

>> SO GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU EVERYONE. FOR INVITING ME TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE. AND AS MISS RICHLAND IS ALREADY NOTED, WE ARE MOVING ALONG WITH THE COLLECTION. SO TO CATCH YOU UP ON THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THE TAX BILL DID GO OUT. THEY HAVE THEY WERE AVAILABLE BY E MAIL A WEEK AND A HALF AGO . SO THOSE CUSTOMERS WHO WERE RECEIVING AND SIGNED UP FOR E BILLS, THEY RECEIVED THOSE ALREADY AND OUR CUSTOMERS WHO OPTED TO RECEIVE A PAPER BILL

[00:35:04]

SO THEY WERE IN THE MAIL MIDDLE OF LAST WEEK AND ARE ON THEIR WAY.

SO FROM THE TAX COLLECTIONS STANDPOINT IT TOOK ME JUST FROM A SUMMARY I HAVE BEEN ASKED BY A FEW COUNCIL MEMBERS WATER EXPERTS SA AND HOW MUCH MONEY I THINK WE'RE GONNA GET IN AND HOW QUICKLY I REALLY CAN'T ANSWER THAT. BUT IF I'M GOING TO THINK ABOUT OUR HISTORICAL PATTERN BECAUSE THIS YEAR IS JUST SO DIFFERENT COMPARED TO EVERY OTHER YEAR WE HAD A GREAT. AND IN MY MIND A SUCCESSFUL PREPAID PROGRAM WE COLLECTED WELL OVER 100 MILLION DOLLARS IN TOTAL NOT JUST FOR THE COUNTY BUT IN TOTAL THROUGH THAT PROGRAM. WE'VE BEEN HAVING CONTINUED WEEKLY UPDATES WITH THE AGENCIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF OUR PROGRESS AND WE CAN GET AHEAD OF ANY ISSUES THAT THEY MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING CHALLENGES. WE CAN HELP THEM OVERCOME DURING THIS TIME. WE. WE DID OUR FIRST DISTRIBUTION.

WHAT I WOULD CALL ON OUR NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS WITH OUR AGENCY IS THIS PAST FRIDAY.

SO WE HAVE BEGUN DISTRIBUTE. AS WE NORMALLY WOULD HAVE DISTRIBUTING THEIR TAX REVENUES TO THEM. AND HOPEFULLY THAT IS IN GIVING THEM AN INJECTION OF CASH THAT WAS DELAYED JUST LIKE THE COUNTIES WAS DELAYED. MY HOPE IS OF COURSE THAT BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR WE ARE WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR. OUR COLLECTION RATE IS ON PAR AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE MONITORING THAT WEEKLY AT A MINIMUM TO ENSURE THAT DIFFERENTIAL IS GETTING SMALLER. BECAUSE IF YOU AS COUNSEL KNOWS EARLY ON DURING COVERED AND THROUGH THE FALL WE WERE PROVIDING A WEEKLY UPDATE COMPARING ONE WEEK COLLECTIONS TO THE SAME WEEK THE PREVIOUS YEAR TO SHOW THAT THE CLOSURE OF THE BUILDING ESSENTIALLY REALLY DID NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON TAX REVENUE COLLECTION.

THAT REPORT REALLY IS NO LONGER HELPFUL BECAUSE NOW WE'RE JUST IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION THAN THIS TIME LAST YEAR. I THINK THAT THE MAJORITY OF OUR COLLECTIONS ARE GOING TO COME CLOSER TO THE PAYMENT DEADLINE THAN THAN A NORMAL YEAR BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DO WANT TO PAY BEFORE THE CALENDAR YEAR ENDS AND NOW THAT WE'RE PAST THE CALENDAR YEAR AND THE NEXT MOTIVATOR OR DRIVER THAT MOST PEOPLE CAUSE MOST OF OUR CUSTOMERS TO PAY IS GOING TO BE THAT PAYMENT DEADLINE AND THAT'S NOT UNTIL MARCH. SO I THINK WE'LL GET AN INJECTION OF CASH AND REVENUES ONCE THE BILLS RECEIVED ALL OF THEM.

EVERYONE'S RECEIVED THEIR BILLS. SO IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS I THINK WE'LL GET A GOOD INJECTION OF CASH AND THEN AND AND THEN I THINK WE MIGHT SEE A LULL UNTIL THE END OF FEBRUARY, BEGINNING OF MARCH. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I WAS ASKED IS YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO INTERRUPT ME. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS SPECIFICALLY ASKED ABOUT WAS THE STATUS OF REFUND AND WHEN YOU DO A PREPAYMENT PROGRAM BASED ON AN ELEVATED TAX AMOUNT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF REFUNDS AND UNIQUE THIS YEAR IS OUR MORTGAGE COMPANIES WERE PAYING BEFORE THE CUSTOMERS RECEIVED THEIR BILL THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH IF I COULD SUMMARIZE THE PAST FEW WEEKS FOR OUR OFFICE IT'S BEEN GET THE BILLS OUT, GET THE BILLS BACK AND THE BILLS OUT. AND NOW IT GETS REFUNDS THE REFUND. SO WE WE'VE PROCESSED OVER TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND REFUNDS IN THE PAST SEVEN DAYS AND WE STILL HAVE A FEW THOUSAND MORE TO GO BUT WE ARE MOVING RIGHT ALONG AND WORKING VERY INTENSIVELY IN VERY LONG HOURS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS . WE'RE WORKING REFUNDS IN THE ORDER THAT THE PAYMENT WAS RECEIVED, THE INITIAL PAYMENTS WERE MADE BY THE MORTGAGE COMPANIES AND SO WE'RE PROCESSING THOSE FIRST THEY ARE COMPLETE IT AND THE ADDED BENEFIT PROCESSING THOSE FIRST.

IS THAT ANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE OF POTENTIAL ADJUSTMENT TO THEIR ESCROW. PERHAPS THEY LOST THE LEGAL RESIDENTS EXEMPTION AND THEIR MORTGAGE COMPANY PAID AT AN ELEVATED AMOUNT. MORTGAGE COMPANIES WILL ADJUST THE ESCROW TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT UNEXPECTED ADDITIONAL TAX AMOUNT.

WE ARE WE'VE COMPLETED THE REFUND OF THOSE AMOUNTS THAT WILL GO BACK TO THE MORTGAGE COMPANY AND THEN THAT MORTGAGE COMPANY CAN PERFORM THAT RE ANALYSIS.

SO OUR GOAL WAS TO GET THE MONEY BACK TO THE MORTGAGE COMPANIES TO HOPEFULLY AVOID THAT ESCROW ANALYSIS THAT INCREASED THE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.

SO A LOT OF MOVING PARTS THAT ARE MOVING VERY QUICKLY AND BUT WE ARE GETTING IT DONE.

[00:40:08]

AND WITH THAT I DON'T HAVE WE'RE STILL REALLY IN THE THICK OF THE THICK OF THINGS.

SO WHAT QUESTIONS CAN I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AS WELL AS I DO, MR. CHAIRMAN,

MARIA, TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU. >> 1 HAVE YOU SEEN AN UPTICK IN THE APP OF THE PEOPLE SIGNING ON FOR MY BEAUFORT COUNTY YET? YES, I AM. WE WERE VERY SLOW TO ACTUALLY HAVE AN UPDATE WITH OUR VENDOR TODAY DURING THIS MEETING. SO I CANCELED THAT TO BE HERE.

BUT I WILL EMAIL YOU THIS WEEK UPDATED NUMBERS IF YOU WOULD LIKE WHAT? I MEAN PEOPLE CAN'T COME IN. WE ARE ALMOST ALL OF THE PREPAYMENT WERE MADE EITHER BY MORTGAGE COMPANY WHICH IS A DIFFERENT PROFIT OR MIGHT BE FOR COUNTY.

BUT WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN THE USE OF MY DEEPER COUNTY WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE THEIR RECEIPTS RIGHT THERE RIGHT AWAY. AND IT IS THE MOST EFFICIENT

PAYMENT METHOD FOR OUR TEAM TO PROCESS WHICH SO SAVES TIME. >> AND THE SECOND QUESTION IS PEOPLE CAN SET UP PAYMENTS ALONG THE WAY. HAVE YOU SEEN AN INCREASE IN

THAT? >> WE DID AND THANKS TO COUNCIL'S PARTNERSHIP LAST YEAR GETTING THAT ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY FOR THE INCUMBENT PROGRAM.

>> WE SAW OVER A THOUSAND ADDITIONAL INSTALLMENT PARTICIPANTS JOIN INTO THE PROGRAM AND ONE OF THE THINGS I'LL ADD IN HERE IS WE CONTINUE TO HAVE AN INSTALLMENT PROGRAM SO ANY CUSTOMERS WHO AREN'T ALREADY UTILIZED IT THEY CAN APPLY WHICH SOUNDS HARDER THAN IT IS TO JUST FILL OUT AN ONLINE FORM AND TELL IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE.

THEY CAN JOIN THAT NOW AND UNIQUE AGAIN TO THIS YEAR IS TYPICALLY WE FINISH THE COLLECTIONS WE GET PASSING OR 15TH AND THEN THE INSTALLMENT PROGRAM STARTS FOR THE NEXT YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OVERLAP THIS YEAR SO WE'LL HAVE CUSTOMERS WHO STILL MIGHT BE TRYING TO PAY THEIR TWENTY TAXES WHO WILL ALSO RECEIVE AN INSTALLMENT BILL FOR 2012 WHEN YOU WANT. THAT'S OK.

WE JUST DON'T WANT TILL NOVEMBER 20 21 IS GOING TO BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT.

SO THOSE THOSE TWO PROGRAMS ARE KIND OF GOING TO BE RUNNING IN TANDEM RIGHT NOW AND THAT'S OK IF A CUSTOMER IS INTERESTED IN KNOWING ABOUT IT, THEY CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE AND SIGN UP.

>> OKAY. SO IF ANY CITIZEN IS WATCHING THEY WOULD GO TO THE BEAUFORT COUNTY WEB SITE TO SEE EXACTLY HOW THEY DO THAT. CORRECT.

IF THEY GO TO BEAUFORT COUNTY TREASURER DOT COM THEY'RE THE DROP DOWN AT THE TOP OR CURRENT TAXES AND THERE'S EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE INSTALLMENT PROGRAM IS THERE AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO FILL OUT A FORM AND GIVE UP THEIR PROPERTY NUMBER THAT WE KNOW WHICH PROPERTY THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN. AND OUR HOPE AND INTENTION IS THAT WE'LL REQUEST FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE TO EXTEND THE FLEXIBILITY THEY PERMITTED TO HAVE LAST YEAR GOING INTO THIS YEAR. I THINK I THINK THERE'S STILL A NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR THAT FLEXIBILITY AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE.

>> OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. GREAT.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS FOR MARIA?

>> JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION, MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I COULD. YES.

THIS WAS ON FIRST LET ME THANK YOU FOR FOR HANGING IN HERE FOR US.

I'M DOING THIS TAX SEASON BUT I KNOW HE'S BEEN WORKING ON OVERWHELMING TO YOUR DEPARTMENT. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU .

BUT MY QUESTION ACTUALLY IS ON COMPARED TO LAST YEAR WITH INCOME WITH THE COLLECTION IN

AND COMPARED TO LAST YEAR PERCENTAGE WISE. >> WELL, THANK YOU, SIR.

>> FIRST IT'S OUR PLEASURE TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE WOULD HAVE CHOSEN TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT BUT THAT'S OKAY. AND I HAVE TO GIVE THE CREDIT MY KEY I'M NOT DOING THIS ALONE AND IT TAKING EVERY SINGLE ONE ABOUT.

SO I DON'T WANT TO MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THEM CREDIT WHERE IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEEN

EARNED IN A VIDEO NOW COLLECTION. >> WE'RE SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND WE WOULD HAVE HAD WE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE PROGRESSED BY THIS POINT BECAUSE IN A NORMAL YEAR IT'S JANUARY 19 THE TAXES WOULD HAVE BEEN DUE JANUARY 15TH.

>> SO WE ARE WE'RE BEHIND SIMPLY BECAUSE THE BILL WASN'T SENT OUT.

[00:45:02]

>> I UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND WE BEHIND SAY LAST YEAR WE WOULD HAVE COLLECTED SAY WHAT 60 PERCENT OF THE MONEY THAT WE BUILD. WHERE WERE THAT 30 PERCENT? NOW BY THE TIME WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH JANUARY WE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 70 AND 80 PERCENT MARK AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE AROUND 30 PERCENT AND THE TOTAL NOT JUST FOR THE COUNTY

IS VERY LITTLE. >> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'LL INTERJECT THERE. I I I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE AT THIS JUNCTURE THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO LESSEN THAT DIFFERENTIAL BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR WHICH ULTIMATELY IS A GOVERNMENT AGENT OR IN OUR ORGANIZATION WE CARE MOST ABOUT NOT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. BUT ULTIMATELY WHAT IS JUNE 30 IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE COUNCILMAN GLOVER, I COULD ANSWER THE EXACT PERCENTAGE THAT YOU WERE HOPING FOR IN TERMS OF DECEMBER TEENS FOR AVALANCHE TAXES THROUGH THESE LAST YEAR WERE RIGHT AT FIFTY NINE POINT EIGHT SEVEN PERCENT. YOU ARE RIGHT HEAD THERE WITH 60 PERCENT AND THIS PER YEAR CORRECT WE ARE TWENTY EIGHT POINT FIVE, OK.

>> SO CLEARLY YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. AND MR. GLOVER.

THAT WAS A GREAT QUESTION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MISS WALLACE?

>> THANK YOU, MARIA. AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO.

[9. UPDATE FROM WHITNEY RICHLAND, CHEIF FINANCIAL OFFICER ON THE TAX ANTICIPATION NOTE (TAN) ]

YOU DO A SUPERB JOB AS ALWAYS. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> LET'S MOVE ON AND KEEP IT MOVING HERE. AND NEXT A DISCUSSION ITEM AS A NUMBER 9 UPDATE FROM MISS RACHEL. YOU'RE UP AGAIN ON THE THE TAM

THE TAX EFFICIENT ANTICIPATE ANTICIPATION NOTE. >> ALL RIGHT.

SO I THINK THE INTENT HERE WAS JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW IF THERE'S IF THERE IS ANY NEW INFORMATION REGARDING OUR 10 OR THE 2 AS OF TODAY. I SPOKE WITH TONYA CROSBY FROM THEORY FRIDAY AND SHE LET ME KNOW THAT THE UPDATED PROJECTION FOR THEIR NEED FOR THEIR TAN WILL BE 80 MILLION RATHER THAN THE FULL 100 MILLION.

AND AGAIN I THINK THAT LIKE SHE KIND OF GAVE HERSELF A BIT OF A BUFFER THERE AND THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED 100 MILLION BUT BASED UPON HER MOST RECENT CALCULATIONS THEY'RE LOOKING TO ISSUE APPROXIMATELY 80 MILLION DOLLARS WHICH SHOULD ALSO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF THEIR ISSUANCE COSTS. SO THAT IS GUYS ON THE EAST HAND AS FAR AS COUNTING GOES WE STILL HAVE ANOTHER READING I BELIEVE TO GO THROUGH BEFORE THAT IS ISSUED AN END POINT IN TIME WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER WEEK'S WORTH OF COLLECTIONS FROM THE TREASURER'S OFFICE TO FIRM UP OUR NUMBERS. AND I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT IF WE DO NOT NEED THE FULL 50 THEN WE CERTAINLY WILL NOT TAKE THE FULL 50. SO HOPEFULLY I'LL HAVE AN

UPDATE FOR YOU GUYS ANOTHER WEEK ON THAT CHART AS I. >> SO WAS THERE ANY ACTION BY US TODAY OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE? RACHEL, I DON'T BELIEVE AND I THINK IT WAS JUST A JUST AN UPDATE FOR YOU GUYS. OKAY, GREAT.

[10. ACCOMMODATIONS TAX (STATE 2%) BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS TO TOURISM-RELATED ORGANIZATIONS ]

>> LET'S MOVE ON THEN TO OUR FIRST ACTION ITEM NUMBER 10 ACCOMMODATIONS TAX BOARD

RECOMMENDATIONS TO TOURISM RELATED ORGANIZATIONS. >> THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN.

THIS IS HAYES WILLIAMS AGAIN. THE THE STATE TAX BOARD MET AGAIN AND THEY HAVE DONE THEIR REVISIONS BELIEVED THAT THE WATCH CHAMBER WE WERE GUIDED BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND HAD NOT GOTTEN ANY MONEY IN THE LAST APPROPRIATION AND THEY THE THE ACCOMMODATIONS BOARD AND THEM THE THIRTY TWO THOUSAND THAT THEY HAD ORIGINALLY AND AND BASICALLY CHANGED THE ALLOCATIONS ON OTHER OTHER ORGANIZATIONS GOT PART OF IT. THIS IS PRESENTING THIS FOR THEM. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK Y'ALL IF FELLOW APPROVE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS STATE TAX BOARD THAT WE COULD SEE THIS AS AN ORDINANCE IN THE NEXT COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING. THIS IS ON PAGE MATTER WHERE HAYES THIS IS ON PAGE 10.

>> IT'S ACTUALLY WHEN YOUR AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY COMES UP IT'S ACTUALLY BACKUPS ON THE PAGE BEFORE. SO INSTEAD OF PAGE 15 THAT THIS DOCUMENT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS

ON PAGE 14 OF OUR BACKUP. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A QUESTION.

>> YES, SIR. MITCH MCCONNELL. GO AHEAD.

>> HAYES LOOKING AT THIS. THERE WAS A LINGERING QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT ANY MONEY

[00:50:03]

HAS THAT BEEN RECTIFIED WITH A GRANT FOR THAT ORGANIZATION? >> COUNCILMAN, THE RECONSTRUCTION POOR HAD PUT IN SOME MONEY FOR THE STATE ACCOMMODATIONS TAX BOARD.

THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WON'T PURSUE IT ON THE LOCAL LEVEL WHICH IS WHAT WE WILL BE MEETING LATER ON THIS WEEK TO GO THROUGH ALL THE APPLICATION .

AND I WOULD I WOULD THINK THAT WE WILL BE GIVING OUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO FINANCE OUR NEXT NECK IN THE WORRY FINANCE MEETING BUT THAT THEY WERE LOOKING TO GET THAT FROM THE LOCAL A TAX AND A TAX MONEY AS OPPOSED TO WHAT? WHAT'S THE DISTINCTION? ATWOOD WELL, THEY'RE BASICALLY THREE POTS OF MONEY, RIGHT? THE STATE TAX BOARD COME FROM THE SOUTH ON TO COLLECT THAT AND WRITE A QUARTERLY QUARTERLY CHECK AND THEN THE LOCAL ACCOMMODATIONS TAX AND WAS HOSPITALITY TAXED OR REMITTED THROUGH LOCAL SOURCES INCLUDING A BUSINESS LICENSE. RIGHT. IT'S QUITE GOOD MONTHLY IS JUST THE STATE EXPORT IS OVER THE STATE TAX MONEY. AND THEN WE HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS ALL FOR THE LOCAL PORTION OF THE ACCOMMODATIONS IN HOSPITALITY.

>> WHAT'S THE BALANCE IN THE LOCAL ACCOUNT EITHER LOCAL IS ABOUT THREE POINT SIX MILLION DOLLARS FOR EACH TAX AND A TAX CUT. THE BALANCE AT THE END OF THE YEAR WHICH IS TYPICALLY WE AWARD UP TO THE FUND BALANCE OF THE PRIOR YEAR.

AND WHAT WAS THE AMOUNT THE REQUEST FROM YOU FRED? >> I SEE HERE AT THE AMOUNT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN FOR RECONSTRUCTION WAS A HUNDRED SEVENTY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

IS THAT THE AMOUNT THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUESTED FROM THREE POINT SIX MILLION? NO, SIR. COUNCILMAN, THAT'S CLOSE TO I THINK SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND.

SAY THAT AGAIN. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSER TO SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND.

>> AND WHEN WILL THAT BE TAKING PLACE? THAT WE'LL BE GIVING OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THE LOCAL TAX EACH TAX IF WE PAY THE COMMITTEE AND HOPEFULLY THE FINANCE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL APPROVE IT AND WE WILL FORWARD IT AS AN AUDIENCE TO THE FACT THAT COUNCIL MEETING FOLLOWING THAT. SO THE REQUEST IS MADE FOR THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY AND AS SOMEONE APPROVED IT SO THAT YOU'RE FILING JUST FILING A REPORT HAS THE VOTE BEEN TAKEN ALREADY OR AS A REVOTE PENDING THE YOU SAY VOTE?

>> BASICALLY WHAT WE DO IS WE REVIEW ALL THE APPLICATION RIGHT.

AND MAKE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. ALL RIGHT.

THIS COMMITTEE WILL EITHER REJECT OR APPROVE OR RECOMMEND ISSUES AND THEN I'LL GET FOR IT IS AN ORDINANCE THE COUNCIL SO WE WILL KNOW WHAT WAS APPROVED UNTIL ALL OF THIS IS PRESENTED

TO US IN TOTAL WELL-KNOWN. >> THIS IS THIS IS A SEPARATE POT OF MONEY.

I UNDERSTAND THAT. YES. OR IT WILL NOT BE PRESENTED UNTIL THAT. WHEN IS THAT TENTATIVELY THE NEXT FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING IN FEBRUARY. THANK YOU.

>> CHAIRMAN LAWSON. I HAD A QUESTION. >> YES.

COUNCILMAN, HOW GOOD A PROJECT FOR THE TOWN OF FORT ROILS OF CHURCH TYPE REBUILT THERE IS THAT LOCAL THEY APPLIED FOR LOCAL TAX MONEY, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> YES. MA'AM. THE PANEL WELL, I THINK THE NEED FOR THERE THEIR REQUEST IS FOR HABIBA. AND THAT WAS PART OF THE SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN FEDERAL BUT THE RECONSTRUCTION WATERS CHAPEL, THE CITY OF THE PAIN OF THE ROYAL REQUESTING TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND I'VE BEEN LUCKY NOT TO BE LOCAL. THAT WOULD BE LOCAL MONEY. YES, ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. >> DID YOU SAY.

EXCUSE HEY SARGE. YOU SAID THAT WAS PART OF THE 700000 FROM RECONSTRUCTION

BEAUFORT. YES, SIR. >> THAT WAS CONSIDERED PART

OF THE RECONSTRUCTION. PAUL. >> LARRY LARRY.

THERE'S THERE'S THREE PROJECTS FULL PROJECTS IN THE WHOLE RECONSTRUCTION APPLICATION.

OKAY. OKAY. GOOD.

YEAH. THANK YOU. SURE.

YOU MADE ME THINK OF ONE PROJECT BUT THEY CAME AS ONE BIG ENTITY WHICH IS ROUGHLY FULL PROJECT. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. RIGHT.

MR. WILLIAMS PASSING OVER. >> CORRECT. THERE'S ALSO THERE'S THE PORTER CHAPEL WHICH IS THE TOWN OF ROYAL. BUT THEN YOU HAVE THE BRICK BAPTIST CHURCH STUDY HOUSE OF THE GREEN ARMY OF THE PUBLIC IN AND THEN THE STATE COTTAGE ESTATES COTTAGE WHICH IS ON COMMERCE GREAT WHITE NOISE A BROKEN DOWN INDIVIDUALLY WITHIN

THAT SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. >> YES, SIR.

EARLIER 721 OF ROUGHLY. OH THAT'S GOOD THOUGH. THEY'LL BE BROKEN DOWN.

[00:55:04]

THANK YOU. THANKS YORK FOR THAT. I APPRECIATE.

YES. >> MR. HAYES, WE'RE GETTING MORE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR MR. HAYES AND MR. HAYES IS ERNIE ACTIONS THAT YOU'D LIKE US TO MAKE TODAY ON THIS?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE'D PRESENT THIS THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS OF THE STATE ACCOMMODATIONS TAX BE ORDINANCE AND APPROVED BY COUNTY COUNCIL.

>> IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION? >> SOME OF MR. CHAIRMAN STEVE.

>> THANK YOU, MR. ROBINSON AS THERE A SECOND I'LL SECOND AS CHAIRMAN.

>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR PERSON. WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION, MR. CHAIRMAN?

>> I DO HAVE A DISCUSSION. I I'M NOT GOING TO OBJECT TO WHAT IS BEING RECOMMENDED BUT I REALLY DON'T LIKE SOME OF SOME OF THE GROUPS BEING EXCLUDED AND I DO KNOW THAT THE PEN CENTER WAS NOT INCLUDED AND YOU KNOW, WITH THE COVERED PROJECT I MEAN THE CORPORATE EPIDEMIC IS HAVING US FACING US RIGHT NOW. THEY DO NOT DO A HERITAGE DAY CELEBRATION LAST YEAR BUT THEY DID INCUR SOME EXPENSE TOWARD THAT END AND I I WOULD LOVE TO AMEND THE MOTION NOT TO TAKE AWAY FROM ANYBODY BUT IF WE COULD JUST ADD 20000 HOURS TOWARD THE PEN CENTER BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING A HERITAGE CELEBRATION THIS YEAR

,THEY DO HAVE RECEIPTS. >> THEY MAY NOT HAVE SOME RECEIPTS I'M NOT TOO SURE BUT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED SOME HELP GETTING THE PRODUCTION MARKETING FOR THAT HERITAGE FOR 2021. SO IF IF IF WE COULD THIS ADD 20000 OR SO OR WHATEVER WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE LIKE LAST YEAR ? THEY WILL.

THEY WILL. THEY WERE AWARDED 31 5 4 2 OUT OF THE TOTAL BUDGET OF SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE AZTECS AWARDED HIM 31 5 BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE HERITAGE LAST YEAR BUT THEY DID INCUR SOME EXPENSE AND I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO OCCUR ALL THE EXPENSE FOR THE 2021 WHICH I THINK IS GOING TO BE A GRAND YEAR FOR US BECAUSE FOR THE PEN CENTER JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE BEEN WAITING TO TRAVEL AND GET OUT. SO IF WE COULD THIS ADD 20000 IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME OR SOMETHING TOWARD THAT EFFECT I SURE WOULD APPRECIATE

IT. >> ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THAT AMENDMENT

SO I CAN. >> IT. OH, CAREFUL.

I HAD THE SECOND IT TO MR. CHAIRMAN. >> SO WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION THAT'S BEEN SECONDED. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO THIS MOTION. THE LAST TIME WE DISCUSSED THIS ABOUT THE CHAMBER ADDING THE THIRTY TWO THOUSAND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE THEN IT HAD TO GO BACK TO THE TAX BOARD FOR THEM TO REDO ALL THE MONEY. SO IS THIS SOMETHING WE'RE

GOING TO HAVE TO DO AGAIN? NO, SIR. >> NO SIR.

I'M NOT ASKING THAT. CHAIRMAN I'M ASKING IT SO THAT IT'LL BE AN ADDITIONAL SET OF 500 THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND COMING OUT OF THAT LINE ITEM OUT OF THAT BUDGET WE DID YOU KNOW, WE APPROPRIATED A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS TOWARD THAT END.

>> AND IN THE THE COMMITTEE CAME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION AND THAT INCLUDED SOME OTHER AREAS LIKE THE MARSH TACKY. THEY GOT, YOU KNOW, SOME FUNDING THIS YEAR AND SOME OTHER AREAS GOT FUNDED AND STUFF. SO I'M JUST ASKING THAT WE JUST ADD ANOTHER 20000 TO IT OR IF 20 IS TOO MUCH WHATEVER. BUT I THINK A 10 CENT IS GOING TO NEED SOME HELP GOING FORWARD WITH THEIR MARKETING FOR THE HERITAGE CELEBRATION.

THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING. NO, I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

THE QUESTION IS CAN WE DO THIS OR DO WE NOW HAVE TO SEND IT BACK TO THE TAX BOARD TO MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION TO US? IS THERE ANYONE FROM STAFF THAT CAN HELP US ANSWER THAT AND WE HAVE TO RAISE THE BUDGETED AMOUNT OF FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OR HOW DOES THAT MR.

[01:00:03]

HAYES, YOU KNOW THAT WHAT WE'D NEED TO DO. >> WELL, I MEAN WE'VE GOT IS

UNDER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. >> YOU WON'T BE BUMPING IT UP AT TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WHICH QUOTA? I MAY BE WRONG BUT I THINK THEY'LL GET ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN A COMMITTEE.

IF YOU KNOW IT IS A FINANCE COMMITTEE IT IS WANTED TO GIVE AN ADDITIONAL TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE CENTER. I DON'T THINK YOU'D HEARD ANYBODY ON THE COMMITTEE FEELING AND I THINK THAT THE COMMITTEE'S ROLE IS ADVISORY COUNTY COUNCIL HAS TO MAKE THE DECISION. SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE BOUND BY THE COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS. SO I THINK THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR COUNCIL TO AMEND THE RECOMMENDATION. OK, GOOD. I HAVE A QUESTION.

I HAVE A QUESTION TO MR HOWARD. >> YOU DO HAVE TO FIRST GO HER BUT THAT PROCEDURALLY HAS PUT IN AN APPLICATION ON WHAT DOES 20000 WOULD BE USED FOR THAT. THAT'S MY ISSUE WITH IT AT I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY MAY NEED IT. AND IN THAT THEY DIDN'T SPEND IT. BUT IS THERE AN APPLICATION IN THE APPLICATION APPLICATION FOR THE 20 21 WAS WAS MADE TO ADD TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE IF YOU LOOK AT THE APPLICATION BASICALLY SAID THAT THE THEY DID NOT USE THE NINETEEN TWENTY FUNDING AND SO THEY DENY THEM THE REQUEST THEY ARGUED AND SAY THAT THEY DID USE SOME OF THE MONEY OR THEY USE THE MONEY FOR THE PROJECT IS STUFF SO IT'S REALLY ONE OF A LOT OF SEMANTICS AT THIS TIME DEFENSE CENTERS SAYING THAT THEY DID USE THEY DID SPEND THE MONEY THEY DID 31 5 BUT THE COMMITTEE IS SAYING THAT WHAT THEY SPENT BEFORE WAS INAPPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME AND

IT WAS REALLY THIS CLIMATIC IN THAT. >> THE QUESTION IS WHAT THEY USE THE FUNDING FOR. WAS IT MARKETING OR WAS IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE? AND THEY SAID IT WAS REALLY FOR MARKETING THEIR THEIR HERITAGE PROJECT.

MCKELLEN NO, GO AHEAD. IF YOU HAD SOMETHING AND THEN MR. RAHMAN AND THEN MR. ROBERTSON YOU'RE ON MUTE. LARRY MY QUESTION WAS THE SAME AS MISS HOWARD'S.

>> IS THERE. IS IT NECESSARY FOR THEM TO COME IN WITH A REQUEST TO SHOW WHAT THE MONEY WILL BE USED FOR ? I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT ENDED UP MAKING A CLAIM THAT THEY DIDN'T USE THE MONEY APPROPRIATELY OR THEY HAD MONEY LEFT OVER AND THEREFORE THEY WOULD DO WHAT THE AMOUNT THEY ASKED FOR ORIGINALLY WHERE

THEY ENDED UP WITH 500000. >> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. WELL, I'M SORRY.

>> THE TOTAL BUDGET WAS FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND FOR ALL OF THE PROJECTS.

RIGHT. OKATIE REQUESTED THEY THEY SUBMITTED A APPLICATION FOR SIXTY THOUSAND. JUST LIKE THEY DID THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND THEY WERE AWARDED THIRTY ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED THEY RESUBMITTED THEIR BASICALLY THE APPLICATION FOR THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE 20 21 PROJECT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE THE TWENTY HERITAGE CELEBRATION BECAUSE OF THE CULVERT THEY DID INCUR SOME EXPENSE PROMOTING THAT BUT THEY THEY CAME TO LEAVE THE 20 HERITAGE BUT THEY ARE WORKING TOWARD THE TWENTY ONE HERITAGE

. >> SO WE'RE ASKING FOR AN INCREASE TO A FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR AMOUNT BY TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. IS THAT RIGHT? IS THAT HERE. YES THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HEARING IS THE RAISE OUR BUDGET AMOUNT ASIDE PLENTY AND GIVE THE GIVE THE PEN CENTER 20000 ADDITIONAL IN ADDITION TO THE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND TWENTY THOUSAND ADDITIONAL TO THE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND TO MAKE IT FIVE TWENTY IS WHAT THE MOTION IS CURRENTLY IS WHAT THE I THINK SAY THE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND LARRY

WERE YOU SPEAKING OF . >> WELL I DON'T KNOW. FIVE EVERYBODY SEEMS TO THINK THEY'RE GETTING A CHECK FOR FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND WE'RE INCREASING IT BY 20.

BUT YOU'RE SAYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. YEAH.

THE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND. LET LET LET ME TRY AND CLARIFY. THANK YOU.

RIBAUT DOLLARS IS THE AMOUNT THAT WE WANT TO AWARD TERM. WE WANT AWARD AND AN ADDITIONAL TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE PIN CENTER IF IF I'M UNDERACHIEVING COUNCILMAN GLOVER'S YES AMENDMENT CORRECTLY. SO THE TOTAL THAT WE'RE GIVING OUT AWARDING ALL THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES WOULD BE FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND CARVED OUT FOR THE PETIT CENTER. HOW MUCH WILL THE TOTAL AMOUNT BE WITH THAT?

>> TWENTY THOUSAND. TWENTY THOUSAND. WELL WHAT? SO THEY HAVEN'T ASKED FOR IT. THEY DID ASK FOR BUT IT WAS IT WAS NOT AWARDED BY THE

[01:05:03]

PUT IT MY HELP. >> SO HOW MUCH SHOULD THEY ASK FOR? THEY ASKED FOR SIX AND THEY DIDN'T GET ANYTHING AND THEY DIDN'T GET ANY.

OK. NOW I FULLY UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MR. AHMED. YEAH, I THINK THE COMMITTEE IS BASICALLY ADVISORY AS WAS SAID WE CAN CHANGE ANY OF THE ITEMS UP OR DOWN WITH OR WITHOUT GOING BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.

AND THE ONLY ISSUE HERE IS WE GO FROM FIVE TO FIVE. TWENTY TWO WE HAVE SUFFICIENT FUND BALANCE AND I'M SURE WE DO. SO I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO HONOR THIS. MR. GLOVER'S REQUEST OUR COUNCILMAN EVERSON.

THANK YOU. AND TO BE CANDID, I GOT PRETTY LOST IN THAT EXCHANGE THERE.

BUT THE BELARUS LINE OF QUESTIONING CLEARED THAT UPSIDE.

I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT JUST SO I'M ENTIRELY CLEAR, WHY WAS THE 60 THOUSAND DOLLARS NOT RECORD COUNCILMAN BHUSHAN AS A JUST PRESENTING THIS FOR THE STATE API OR BIG PHARMA HAD ASKED ME TO DO IT? I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE THAT. I THINK THE REASON THEY DIDN'T DO IT WAS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE THEY HAVE IT. LAST YEAR AND THEY FELT LIKE THEY HAD THE MONEY FOR THIS YEAR. I'M NOT SAYING WHETHER IT'S RIGHT OR WRONG. I'M JUST THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

ALL SUBMIT IT BASED ON WHAT I'M HEARING. BASED ON WHAT? BASED ON WHAT I JUST HEARD. I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHY THE BOARD DID NOT RECOMMEND THIS. AND IF IT'S BECAUSE OF THERE WERE EXPECTING THERE TO BE CARRYOVER FUNDS FROM 1920 BETWEEN 21, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THOSE EXIST AND IF THEY DON'T EXIST. WELL WHERE WERE THEY SPENT? THAT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY BIG QUESTION. SO THAT'S JUST WHERE I'M AT ON THIS.

BUT THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY VIDEO. SO WOULD YOU ACKNOWLEDGE

RECOGNIZE? >> YES, PAUL, WE'VE HAD ZERO. YOU GOT THE FLOOR.

OK. I'M UNCOMFORTABLE WITH JUST JUMPING INTO THE 25TH HOUR AND HANDING OUT MONEY THAT WAS NOT APPROVED BY THE BY THE BY THE TAX BOARD.

THERE'S BEEN NO VETTING ON THIS. WE DON'T REALLY KNOW.

I MEAN BY US IT WAS VETTED BY THE COMMITTEE. I'M UNCOMFORTABLE.

NO DISRESPECT OR ANYBODY ELSE BUT TO HAVE SOMEBODY AS THE LAST MONTH SAY HEY, WHY DON'T WE THROW IT ANOTHER 20000 X, Y, Z WITHOUT ANY WITHOUT REALLY ANY UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHY THEY DIDN'T GET IT FROM THE BOARD? I THINK THAT'S A MISTAKE BECAUSE WE'RE OPENING UP THE FLOODGATES. I MEAN IF THEY'RE AND THEY DESERVE IT, THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO VET THAT TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

BUT I DON'T THINK JUST SAY HOW ABOUT TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE CENTER IS THE WAY TO DO

THAT. >> THANK YOU, MR. SOMERVILLE. I GUESS THE ONLY QUESTION I'VE GOT MELISSA'S FOR FOR MR. WILLIAMS OR MR. TAYLOR IS IS IF WE DO NOT APPROVE THIS.

IS THERE STILL THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO THEN APPROVE IT AT THE FIRST READING OF COUNCIL? THAT'S SOMETHING WE CHOSE TO DO IS THAT'S SOMETHING WE JUST HAVE TO BE A DECISION THAT'S

MADE TODAY. >> I BELIEVE THAT JUST AS THE FINANCE COMMITTEE GETS ADVICE FROM THE STATE TAX BOARD, THE COUNCIL GETS ADVICE FROM THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

SO THE ULTIMATE DECISION MAKER COUNCIL. SO I BELIEVE YES, COUNCIL COULD MAKE A CHANGE FROM WHAT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS, MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> YES, GO AHEAD. I. I AGREE WITH MR. HERBERT'S ON IT. I'D LIKE TO SEE WHERE THE 31000 FIVE HUNDRED IS IT? WHAT WAS IT USED FOR? AND IS THERE ANY OF THAT STILL LEFT BEFORE I COULD VOTE FOR

THIS? >> ALL RIGHT. SO ON THE ON THE FLOOR IS WE HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS. I'M SORRY, LARRY. I'VE ONE QUESTION THOUGH IS MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY ONLY RECEIVED 31000 AND THAT IT WOULD DECISION WAS MADE THEY DIDN'T SPEND THE APPROPRIATELY OR DID THEY GET 60 THOUSAND SPENT 31 AND HAVE A BALANCE

LEFT OVER THAT THEY HAVEN'T USED YET? >> HEY, YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO

THAT I JUST PART WITH STAFF ABOUT THIS. >> I THINK THEY HAD A THIRTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS THAN THEY HAVE. THIS IS THE WAY TO DO THAT.

THIRTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. RIGHT. COULD BE IN THEIR APPLICATION BUT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE APPLICATION ACCOMMODATIONS TAX WILL WORK.

I THOUGHT IT'S BEEN IT ALL AND THEY HAD SUFFICIENT RESERVES AND THAT MONEY IT COULD ACTUALLY I WAS AND THAT WASN'T MY QUESTION. MY QUESTION WHAT WAS THE TOTAL AMOUNT THEY RECEIVED AND THEY SPENT 31 OF THAT. HOW MUCH WAS THE TOTAL THEY RECEIVED THAT CONTAINED THE 31 THEY RECEIVED THE 31 BUT I'M NOT SURE.

>> I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER TO SEE HOW MUCH THEY SPENT. IT'S NOT MY QUESTION.

YEAH, I QUESTION HIS. WHAT WAS THE TOTAL THEY RECEIVED AND SPENT THE THIRTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS OUT OF ACCORDING TO THE AGENDA ITEM IN THE PACKAGE IT SAYS RECEIVED

[01:10:07]

LAST YEAR THIRTY ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. >> OK.

THANK YOU KURT FRECHETTE. YES SIR. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE HAVE A AMENDED MOTION ON THE RUMOR AND THAT IS TO ADD TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE APPROVED BUDGET HUNDRED THOUSAND TO MAKE IT FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY.

AND TO ADD 20000 DOLLARS TO THE APPROVED LIST TO GIVE TWENTY THOUSAND TO THE PEN CENTER.

SO THAT HAS BEEN THAT HAS BEEN MADE A MOTION AND SECONDED. SO RIBAUT POINT TO VOTE IS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO THE EMOTIONALLY THE AMENDED MOTION

THAT'S ON THE FLOOR? >> MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M GOING TO REACT TO IT.

YES. >> ALL RIGHT. SO I GUESS WE NEED TO DO A ROLL CALL VOTE IF THERE IS AN OBJECTION ON THE FLOOR FROM MR. SOMERVILLE.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL VOTE. AND MR. GLOVER, YOU WERE THE

ONE THAT MADE THE MOTION. ONCE YOU GET FIRST. >> YES.

AND THEN IT WAS SECONDED BY I APOLOGIZE. NOW BELIEVED IT WAS ME, MARK.

>> OK, MR. FLEMING. I I'M YES. ALL RIGHT.

>> AND THEN OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS MR. DAWSON. >> YES.

ALL RIGHT, MR. RODMAN. YES. ALL RIGHT.

>> AND MISS HOWARD, I'M GOING TO VOTE NO BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF HOW THE MONEY

THE THIRTY ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED WAS SPENT. >> SO I WILL VOTE YES.

>> MR. MCCLELLAN, I HAVE TO VOTE NO BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN NO APPLICATION FOR THE EXTRA TWENTY THOUSAND AND SO EXPLANATION WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE USEFUL.

>> MR. MATHEMATICIANS LIKEWISE. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO VOTE NO AT THIS TIME.

WE CAN CORRECT IT LATER ON. >> MR. SOMERVILLE SOME VOTES SOMERVILLE VOTES NO.

>> ALL RIGHT. >> IN CHAIR VOTES NO AS WELL AND I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT.

WHEN WE GET THE BACKUP WE THEN CAN ADD TO THE FIRST READING IF WE GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE MOTION THAT'S NOW ON THE FLOOR AND THE MOTION THAT ON THE FLOOR IS TO ACCEPT THE BUDGET AMOUNT OF 500 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THEN THE LIST OF AWARDS THAT WAS GIVEN TO US, MR. CARD

IS THE MOTION THAT'S CURRENTLY ON THE FLOOR. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, ADDITIONAL.

YES, SIR. MAY I VOTE PLEASE? I'M SORRY.

CHRIS, I APOLOGIZE. YES, SIR. GO AHEAD.

>> YEAH. NO, ALL RIGHT. GOOD.

THANK YOU. CAN I. CHRIS, I APOLOGIZE.

I SKIPPED THE. SO NOW WE'RE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

AS I MENTIONED, WHICH IS THE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BE AWARDED TO GRANT APPLICANTS AND THEN THE LIST OF APPLICANTS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE THAT HAS BEEN MADE A

MOTION AND BEEN SECONDED. ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT? >> MR. CHAIRMAN?

YES, MR. AWESOME. >> BECAUSE OF THE HESITANCY ON BEHALF OF SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO SUPPORT THE ORIGINAL MOTION OF THE MOTION THAT THIS WAS JUST DEFEATED.

CAN WE HAVE A PEN TO SUBMIT SUFFICIENT DOCUMENTS TO SHOW THEIR NEED FOR THE REQUEST OF TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND EXPENDITURES OF THE PAST FUNDS THAT WAS THING GIVEN TO THEM BY OUR NEXT FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING. WE HAVE A SEVEN NOW.

I WAS PAID TO DO THAT. THE FOLLOW UP ON THAT WITH MR. DAWSON JUST TALKED ABOUT AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE. THAT'S OKATIE AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

RIGHT. >> I THINK THAT I YOU HEARD MOST PEOPLE TALK TODAY.

THEY THEY WEREN'T IT WASN'T THEY WERE AGAINST THE STANDARD AGAINST SOME SAYING YEAH I'LL FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND PRESENTED AT THE AT THE COUNCIL MEETING ON ON MONDAY.

>> YES. >> OK, GREAT. SO BACK TO THAT.

SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE BACK TO THE MOTION THAT'S ON THE FLOOR WHICH IS TO ACCEPT THE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND AS THE GRANTS AWARDED AND ALSO THEN TO GO TO THE GRANT APPLICANTS THAT ARE LISTED IN OUR BACKUP DOCUMENTATION IS THERE.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT OBJECTED TO THAT MOTION? >> ALL RIGHT.

IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION, WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE WITHOUT OBJECTION.

[01:15:03]

>> ALL RIGHT. LET'S MOVE ON AND WE'RE OUT OF TIME HERE.

KEN, I SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT THAT OBVIOUSLY THE SAME TAX THING IS WE'VE FOUND OUT WE'RE TRYING TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.

WE'VE TALKED IN THE PAST ABOUT ACTUALLY HAVING A SEPARATE MEETING OF FINANCE JUST TO HANDLE A TAX. SO AGAIN, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING SO AGAIN WE CAN HANDLE THESE THINGS WITHOUT SPENDING HALF HOUR OR OR OR LONGER GOING OVER THINGS THEY'RE ALL IMPORTANT AND PEOPLE GETTING MONEY IS IMPORTANT.

[11. ORDINANCE FOR REFUNDING OF BONDS ]

>> LET'S MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ACTION ITEM AND THAT WOULD BE AUDITS FOR REFUNDING OF BONDS.

>> ALL RIGHT. YES. YOUR PACKAGE IN ORDER NEEDS TO REFUND THIS ONE WHICH IN 2011 WAS FROM 2012 THAT ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE REFINANCED.

SO IN THE HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEBT ISSUANCES SOME CAN BE WHAT THEY REFER TO AS CALLABLE OR NON CALLABLE IN AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS BASICALLY THEY COULD BE REFINANCED AT A CERTAIN POINT TYPICALLY EARLIER THAN THEIR FINAL MATURITY DATE CAN'T IN THIS INSTANCE.

EACH OF THESE TWO ISSUANCES REFINANCED OR PAID BACK EARLY IN WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INTEREST ENVIRONMENT AND REFINANCE EACH OF THESE TWO ISSUANCES.

THE DO I EXCEED AMOUNT 13 AND A HALF. AND CURRENTLY EACH OF THESE TWO ISSUANCES HAVE APPROX LEE 14 AND A HALF STANDING PRINCIPAL DEBT.

THERE ARE SOME DEBT ISSUANCE EXCUSE ME THERE ARE SOME PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS THAT WILL BE COMING UP ON EACH OF IN MARCH SO THAT THAT BUT THIS IS THE FIGURE THAT OUR OUTSIDE BOND COUNSEL HAS GIVEN US THAT THEY DETERMINED IS SUFFICIENT TO FULLY REFINANCE THIS DEBT. AND THE GREAT NEWS TO THE COUNTY IS THAT IN DOING SO WE COULD POTENTIALLY SAVE ABOUT TWO MILLION DOLLARS OVER OVER THE LIFE OF THIS DEBT.

SO IT WOULD BE STEPS RECOMMENDED AND FORWARD THIS TO COUNCIL FOR FIRST READING IF SO

,I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. >> ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION FROM SWITZERLAND IF I'M IF I MIGHT. MARK, I'D LIKE THIS MOTION FOR THIS TO COUNTY COUNSEL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. THANK YOU.

MR. FLEMING, IS THERE A SECOND TO MR. FLOYD'S I NEED A SECOND. THANK YOU, MR. GLOVER.

WE'VE GOT A MOTION THAT'S BEEN SECOND IS DISCUSSION NO DISCUSSION.

>> MEAN WE'RE GOING TO PASS FIZZLED OUT. I'M SORRY.

1 1 QUESTION. SO WE GOT TO MAKE SURE IT'S VERY PUBLIC TO EVERYBODY WHO MIGHT BE WATCHING WHITNEY. THIS DOES NOT EXTEND THE LIFE OF THOSE PAYMENTS, DOES IT? DOES IT NOT? IT KEEPS THE SAME PAYMENT SCHEDULE.

THAT IS NOT UNDERSTANDING, RIGHT? BUT I WILL DEFINITELY I'LL ASK THEM IF THEY CAN GIVE US THE DRAFT AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE TO PRESENT TO YOU GUYS AND I'LL DO

THAT AS SOON AS I HAVE THAT BE. >> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT.

WE'LL SEE THAT WHEN WE GO TO COUNTY COUNCIL. THANK YOU.

[12. CONSIDERATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF STEVEN GREEN TO ACCOMMODATIONS TAX (2% STATE) BOARD ]

WE'RE OUT OF TIME HERE. >> AND WE'RE ON TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS SOME CONSIDERATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF STEVEN GREEN TO THE ACCOMMODATIONS TAX 2 PERCENT STATE BOARD.

>> I THINK MR. GLOVER, THIS IS ONE OF YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND I THINK YOU MADE A GREAT POINT AT OUR LAST MEETING ABOUT MAKING SURE PEOPLE AREN'T ON DIFFERENT BOARDS.

WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND BRING MR. GREEN UP. BUT YOU KNOW, IF HE'S ON OTHER ACCOMMODATION BOARDS, YOU KNOW ,AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS A FIRST BOARD THAT HE WILL BE

SERVING ON AND HE'S EAGER AND WAITING TO PARTICIPATE. >> SO I WILL SECOND THE MOTION BECAUSE THIS IS COMING OUT OF HE'S OUT OF REALLY LIVING IN GENERAL CARLSON DISTRICT.

ANYONE OUT THERE AGAINST NOT SEEING ANY THIS HAS BEEN ACCEPTED. THAT IS THE END OF OUR AGENDA ITEMS EXCEPT FOR CITIZENS COMMENT. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A CITIZENS COMMENT THAT I JUST SAW SOMETHING COME THROUGH. BRIANNA, IS THERE BRUNNER IS THERE ANY CITIZENS COMMENT THIS ARE NOT FOR FINANCE.
