ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT ITEM. >> OK, BUT ONE OTHER QUESTION
IF I COULD. >> JOE, THIS FOR YOUR STAFF. WHAT ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE APPROVE THAT PUBLIC FACILITIES WAS THE REPLACING THE HPC AT THE OLD COURTHOUSE ON BASE STREET AND I NOTICED THAT WHERE THAT MONEY'S COMING OUT OF THE SHERIFF'S BUDGET BUT I DON'T REMEMBER OFFHAND WHETHER WE'VE APPROVED THAT IN EITHER THE CURRENT BUDGET THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING OR THE CURRENT OR THE LAST ONES. I GUESS THE QUESTION I HAVE IS WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM ? IT'S A MILLION DOLLARS A MILLION DOLLARS IS COMING FROM A TRANSFER FROM THE SHERIFF'S BUDGET AND NOT DISTRICT BUDGET
HAS BEEN MODIFIED ACCORDINGLY TO ADDRESS THAT TRANSFER. >> SO IT'S IN THE BUDGET THAT
[00:10:03]
WE'RE CONSIDERING NOW. IT'S WHERE WE'RE DOING IT OUT. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING WE'RE DOING THAT FROM FROM THIS YEAR'S BUDGET WITH TRANSFER OF SURPLUS FROM THE SHERIFF AND TO THE COUNTY COFFERS TO PAY FOR THE H FAT OR IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, I THINKIT DOES. >> SO WHAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IF HE HAS EXCESS MONEY TO THE TUNE OF A MILLION DOLLARS WHICH HE IS TRANSFERRING BACK TO US AND THEN IS IS THIS ONE OF OUR BUDGETS THEN WHERE IS WHERE DOES IT COME OUT OF THE IS IS AND IS IN THIS IN HER BUDGET OR IS IN OUR BUDGET SEND THEIR BUDGET WISE NOT TO ME AND IS ONE MILLION RANKS ONE MILLION AT THIS HEADQUARTERS NOT SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND. YES OF COURSE.
YEAH THAT'S A TRANSFER. METRO IS A CIGARET I WAS SORRY. SO IT'S IT'S OUT OF THE SHERIFF'S BUDGET BUT IT'S IN OUR BUDGET FOR APPROVAL IN THIS CYCLE IS THAT WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS I DON'T WANT TO BRING IT UP WE GET TO COUNCIL BUT YEAH. OK.
SO LET ME LET ME TAKE A SHOT AT THIS AND I MAKE OUT TO WAIT GIVE YOU AN ANSWER ON THIS
UNTIL I HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO. >> WHY DON'T WE JUST DO IT WEDNESDAY? BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE THINKING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MEETING THAT ANYWAY. YEAH. POINT.
OK. THE NATURE OF THE NINE DANCES THAT AT ALL.
MILLIONS. MILLION DOLLARS. I MEAN THAT'S OUR MONEY.
A LOT OF EUROPE A LOT OF YOU DON'T. SO ANYWAY.
YEAH YEAH YEAH. YEAH YEAH. THE SAME SITUATION WITH A
COUPLE OF ELECTED OFFICIALS. >> YOU WANT NOT US AND NOT NO NOT YOURS.
NO NOT NOT NOT COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. GREENWAY?
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE AGENDA? >> OK.
ANY DISCUSSIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS ON ANY OTHER ITEM TO BRING UP FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER? THE EXCELLENT. SO YES THERE AND I DO.
GO AHEAD. CAN YOU HEAR IT WAS A FIRST OUR MEETING IS ON WEDNESDAY TO APPROVE THE BUDGET AS I UNDERSTAND IT. CORRECT.
AND I HAVE A QUESTION WHICH I THINK THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS ANSWERED.
I HAVEN'T READ THEIR RESPONSE TO IT BUT IT KIND OF GOES LIKE THIS.
I THINK WE'RE ALL IN FAVOR OF THE BUDGET AS IT WAS PROPOSED.
HOWEVER, IT DOES HAVE IN IT A TAX INCREASE WHICH THEN WILL INCREASE THEIR RESERVES.
I THINK IT WAS UP TO ABOUT 46 MILLION DOLLARS. THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PIECES IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH MONEY THEY WILL ACTUALLY COLLECT. YOU GOT WHATEVER THE MILL VALUE IS GOING TO BE. THEY'VE GOT ABOUT 70 MILLION DOLLARS COMING FROM VARIOUS FEDERAL SOURCES. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE YEAR HAS ENDED UP FOR THEM BUT IT DOES SEEM TO ME THAT HAVING A TAX INCREASE WHERE THE NET EFFECT IS ONLY TO INCREASE THE RESERVE WHICH 15 YEARS AGO WAS LIKE 8 MILLION AND NOW WE'RE UP TO 46 MILLION SEEMS LIKE IT'S UNNECESSARY PARTICULARLY IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF A RESERVE.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A HURRICANE AND WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A PANDEMIC AND BOTH OF THOSE WE WENT THROUGH WITHOUT MUCH IMPACT ON THE RESERVE. SO MY THOUGHT PROCESS SAYS HE WOULD TRUST HAVE YOU THINK IS THAT WHEN WE GET TO WEDNESDAY WE MIGHT WANT TO BUY FOR KATE THAT VOTE. AND ONE WOULD BE TO APPROVE THE THE BUDGET.
AND THEN SECONDLY, CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT A TAX INCREASE.
ALTERNATIVELY, WE COULD IMPROVE THE BUDGET AND THEN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WOULD COME BACK BEFORE THE TAX BILLS HAVE TO BE FINALIZED IN THE SEPTEMBER OCTOBER STANDPOINT BE A LOT SMARTER ABOUT HOW THE YEAR ENDED, WHAT THE MIL VALUE IS, WHAT THE FEDERAL MONEY IS AND THEN APPROVE THE TAX INCREASE IF IT'S WARRANTED. SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MIGHT BE A LOGICAL ARGUMENT FOR US AND I THINK I SUGGESTED HOPEFULLY DOING THIS THAT WE ACTUALLY BROKE THAT OUT INTO AN A AND B ON THAT AGENDA FOR WEDNESDAY. MR. JOHN, GO AHEAD.
ONCE AGAIN THAT THE POSTURE BEFORE COUNCIL IS THIRD READING OF AN ORDINANCE AND THE ORDINANCE HAS AT THIS POINT THE MILLAGE RATE AND THE BUDGET IN IT.
>> AND SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AN AMENDMENT ON THIRD READING BIFURCATING I GUESS MIGHT WORK
[00:15:01]
BUT IT WOULDN'T DO IT ULTIMATELY BE AN AMENDMENT THROUGH AN ORDINANCE.SO YOU SAY YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO SECOND READING THOSE ARE YOU GOING TO MIDDLE THIRD?
OK. >> WELL, I I DON'T I DON'T VIEW IT AS A OVERALL IT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT IN IMPACT. YEAH. OK.
THANK YOU FOR COMING. YOU JUST TO COMMENT ON A COUPLE OF THINGS.
YOU SAID ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT ALL OF US AGREEING ON A BUDGET ACTUALLY AND STILL GOING TO VOTE NO ON THAT SCHOOL BUDGET. SARA BUT I JUST DON'T SEE THERE THEY'RE UNDERLINING THAT THEY CONTINUE TO SAY IS THAT THE FEDERAL MONEY IS NOT RECURRING.
IT'S NOT EVERY YEAR. SO THEY NEED THIS MONEY IN THEIR BUDGET FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP. BUT YET THAT STILL DOESN'T ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THEY ARE GETTING THE MONEY FOR THIS YEAR. SO WHY WOULDN'T THE RAISE COME FOR YEARS DOWN THE ROAD? I'M STILL GOING TO CONTINUE PUSHBACK ON THAT.
THEY HAVEN'T GIVE ME ANY REASON TO SEE WHY THERE ISN'T AREAS THEY COULD SAVE IN THEIR BUDGET TO CONTINUE TO GIVE THE TEACHERS THE RAISE THE STIPEND I SHOULD SAY ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE STUDENT ENROLLMENT IS LOOKING TO BE DOWN IF YOU'D EVEN IF YOU TAKE OUT COVER THERE'S STILL LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GONNA BE DOWN BETWEEN THREE TO FOUR HUNDRED STUDENTS COMPARED TO THE YEAR BEFORE COVERED WHEN THEY KEPT THEIR BUDGET THE SAME.
SO JUST JUST A THOUGHT BEFORE WE GET INTO WEDNESDAY AND COME TO THAT VOTE.
OTHER QUESTIONS YOU. WOULD LOVE FOR US TO BRING SOME RESOLUTION TO THE EMPLOYEES RETIREE EMPLOYEE'S HEALTH BENEFITS AT SOME POINT IN TIME. WE'VE BEEN WAITING THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED SO WE BOTH KNOW THE A RESOLUTION TO SAY MR.
CHAIRMAN MR. GLOVER, DID YOU GET MY E-MAIL FROM LAST? >> WE DIDN'T SEND YOU AN E-MAIL TO REASSURE YOU THAT WE WERE AT THE FINISH LINE OR THAT THE DIFFICULTY WE'RE FACING NOW IS
SIMPLY I WANT TO HAVE THE NEW H.R. DIRECTOR WEIGH IN. >> PADGETT HAD LOOKED AT IT BUT THEN HIS ABRUPT DEPARTURE LEAVES THAT GAP. BUT AND WE'RE ACTUALLY DISCUSSING IT TOMORROW INTERNALLY STAFF SO I'M EXPECTING WE CAN BRING SOMETHING IN SUBJECT TO ERIC'S APPROVAL IN JULY OR AT LEAST AUGUST.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CUNNINGHAM. I'M JUST CURIOUS DO WE HAVE ANY UPDATE ON THE NEW RIVERSIDE
LIBRARY? >> NOT SURE WHO EXACTLY DIRECT THAT WAY BUT I KNOW ABOUT A MONTH AGO WE TALKED ABOUT NEGOTIATING THE LAND AND GETTING CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS TO SEE IF WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING SINCE. YES, SIR. THIS IS CHUCK ATKINS.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS THAT. CHUCK, YOU'RE ALWAYS ON POINT. YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
THE PUBLIC FACILITIES COMMITTEE APPROVED THE ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING AT THE LAST MEETING. WE ARE HOLDING THAT. WE'RE NOT BRINGING THAT FORWARD BECAUSE WE'RE STILL IN NEGOTIATION WITH THE DEVELOPER PURCHASED LAND.
WE RECEIVED ALL OF THE DUE DILIGENCE TO INCLUDE THE APPRAISAL AND WE'RE NOW WORKING WITH THE ARCHITECT TENTATIVE ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE LAND AND ACTUALLY MAKING THE SIZE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER BECAUSE IT'S A SIXTEEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT BUILDING IN ONE POINT THREE ACRES A LITTLE SMALL FOR THAT. AND AS SOON AS WE GET THAT IS ALL WE'RE GOING TO BRING BOTH OF THEM COUNCIL THE LAND PURCHASE WE'RE GONNA BRING TO IT AND THEN BRING BOTH THE COUNCIL AS ALL. THANKS, CHUCK. OK.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? BECAUSE I HAVE A LEGAL QUESTION FOR OUR TEAM LEGAL TEAM, OK.
FOR OUR LEGAL TEAM THE QUESTION ABOUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT
OF COUNTY COUNCIL? >> IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WHATEVER BUDGET THEY SUBMIT WE SAY YES OR NO TO. IF WE SAY YES WE ARE SAYING YES TO THE BUDGET AND THE MILLAGE RATE INCLUDED IN THAT BUDGET. IF WE SAY NO TO THE BUDGET, WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS THAT WE WILL ALLOW THEM TO HAVE A CPI INCREASE AND THEN ENROLLMENT INCREASE ONLY.
IS THAT A CORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT OUR OBLIGATION IS? >> KEVIN ?
OH THANK YOU. HEARD YOU, MR. TAYLOR. >> MR. CAVANEY HAS BEEN LOOKING INTO THAT WITH OUR BOND COUNCIL AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT COUNCIL .
TOM, DO YOU HAVE AN UPDATED I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FAITH BEYOND THE CONVERSATION THAT WE ALL
[00:20:06]
HAD. >> LAST THURSDAY AND DOWN CHAIRMAN IF WE WANT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION I'D PREFER THAT WE HAVE IT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AS OPPOSED TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE IT IS CLEARLY IN RECEIPT OF LEGAL ADVICE. SO I TRY TO DO IT THERE.
>> OK. SO WE CAN WE GET THAT ANSWERED BEFORE WEDNESDAY?
YES. >> IS IT POSSIBLE TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION NOW TO DISCUSS THAT SINCE WE HAVE TIME ? CERTAINLY WE COULD DO THAT.
I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION AS MR. KEVIN , YOU HAVE AN ANSWER FOR US TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION
OR NOT YET. >> ALL I CAN DO IS RELATE TO YOU THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD ERIC AND KURT AND I HAD WITH THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL AND THEIR OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL AS WELL.
I CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. COUNCILMAN MCCALLUM, I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO YOU BUT I CAN SHARE YOU SHARE WITH YOU WHAT WE HEARD. SO WE EITHER WAY I WOULD PREFER
THAT WE GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER . >> THERE MAY NOT BE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER BUT WE CAN NOW WE CAN CERTAINLY HOLD THAT AND DO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION ON YOUR SPECIAL CALLED MEETING ON WEDNESDAY AS AS FIRST ITEM TO GIVE YOU THAT LEGAL ADVICE IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO SO. IF MR. CUNNINGHAM IS OKAY WITH TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR IS JUST SAID AND SAID THAT YOU'RE NOT DISAPPOINTED ON WEDNESDAY WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT ISSUE BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE QUESTION IS UNRESOLVED.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I JUST HEARD IT'S JUST ONE
COMMENT AFTER WE THROW A MOTION BEFORE I DON'T HAVE IT. >> NOW WE'LL ALL TO THE HOUSE.
HE MADE IT. NO, I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SECOND OKATIE.
WELL, IT MAY HAVE CHANGED OVER TIME. IF YOU GO BACK TO THE TIME THAT I WAS IN THE SCHOOL WARD 15 YEARS AGO WHEN I CAME ON HISTORICALLY HAD A NUMBER OF YEARS THERE WITH THE COUNTY COUNCIL DID NOT APPROVE THEIR BUDGET.
AND THEN WHAT JOE DESCRIBED AS THE ENROLLMENT AND CPI KICKED IN IT WAS CALLED THE MAINTENANCE OF LOCAL EFFORT. AND WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THAT WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I'M TOLD THAT THAT STILL IN EFFECT. BUT YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK THAT UP, TOM.
IT'S CALLED THE MAINTENANCE OF LOCAL EFFORT. I THINK THE OTHER PIECE THAT PERHAPS COMES UP THE RESEARCH IS YOU WHEN WE APPROVE THE BUDGET THERE'S MONEY STREAMS THAT COME FROM VARIOUS PLACES FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD. THEY'RE NOW COMING WITH A GIGANTIC INFLUX OF MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AND I GUESS THE QUESTION BEGS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER WE HAVE TO APPROVE THAT APPROPRIATION. ALSO I WOULD THINK WE WOULD.
BUT AGAIN, INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT OUR LEGAL BEAGLES THINK. WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO HAVE INFORMATION FOR YOU ON WEDNESDAY. IF I MAY GO BACK TO THE QUESTION ON THE ON THE SHERIFF'S PIECE REGARDING THE H VAC.
THAT WAS A ONE MILLION DOLLAR TRANSFER FROM THE SHERIFF'S REPAIRED TO BUILDINGS LINE ITEM IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR BUDGET. THE TRANSFER HAS NOT YET HAPPENED. OUR GENERAL FUND BECAUSE WE NEED MORE ACTION TONIGHT ONCE WE DO THAT. ONCE YOU DO IT TONIGHT TRANSFER WILL OCCUR AND THE END SOMETIME IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO. YOU ALL WILL BE PRESENT AT THAT SAME AT ROMANIAN TO DO AS A PART OF A CARRY OVER BUDGET INTO THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. OK.
[6. COUNCIL MEMBER DISCUSSION]
