[00:00:25]
WELCOME EVERYONE[Board of Trustees Budget Work Session on March 11, 2025.]
TO THE VILLAGE OF PAINTINGS.I'VE HAD NEW YORK BOARD OF TRUSTEES BUDGET WORK SESSION FOR TUESDAY, MARCH THE 11TH, 2025.
PLEASE RISE FOR THE PLEDGE FOR ALLEGIANCE, UNITED STATES
TRUSTEE FLEISIG IS CURRENTLY ABSENT.
TRUSTEE DRAKE? PRESENT? TRUSTEE ALLGOOD.
SO WE ARE GONNA GO SLIGHTLY OUT OF ORDER BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME, UH, DELAYS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO, FIRST OF ALL, IS GO STRAIGHT TO THE VILLAGE CLERK, VILLAGE TREASURER, WHICH IS ON PAGE TWO, I THINK THE VILLAGE MANAGER SAID.
AND UM, ANTHONY, IF YOU DON'T MIND EXPLAINING TO US SOME OF THE CHANGES.
THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF BIG CHANGES.
IF YOU CAN JUST SORT OF EXPLAIN, I KNOW THEY'RE IN OUR BOOKS, BUT IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN IT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
UM, DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR IN AUGUST, WE HIRED AN ACCOUNTANT.
AND SO WHAT WE HAD, WHAT THE BOARD HAD DONE IS A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT TO ADJUST MY SALARY BETWEEN THE TWO DEPARTMENTS.
AND THEN THAT FUNDED, THAT HAD ENOUGH LEFT TO FUND THE REMAINDER OF THE SALARY FOR THE COUNTY.
SO YOU'LL SEE THAT FUNDED IN FALL IN THIS YEAR'S TREASURE PORTION OF THE BUDGET.
AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT DON'T HAVE ANY COSTS ON THEM SO FAR.
DO WE EXPECT TO SEE ANY OVERTIME? YOU'RE JUST KEEPING IT AT THAT NUMBER JUST IN CASE? YES.
AND THE LONGEVITY SIMILARLY JUST A NUMBER OR YOU'VE ACTUALLY REDUCED THAT.
UM, I THINK THE OTHER NUMBER THAT WENT UP WAS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.
UM, THIS IS AN ANTICIPATION OF US GOING POTENTIALLY OUT FOR IN THE NEXT CYCLE.
GOING OUT FOR BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES.
I KNOW THE VILLAGE MANAGER PUT THEM IN THE CAPITAL PLAN, SO THIS IS TO HELP ACCOUNT.
AND IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO FLAG FOR US? UM, NOTHING IN TREASURER AND THERE ARE NO REAL CHANGES, BUT FOR CLIENT EITHER.
BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE TREASURER'S FUNCTION FROM ANYONE? NO MORE FROM ME.
UM, IN THE CLERK LINE, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PLACES WHERE IT, IT'S CLEAR YOU, YOU'VE REDUCED THE LINE ITEM BECAUSE YOU SEE YOU ARE NOT SPENDING THAT MONEY IN A COUPLE OF OTHER PLACES WHERE YOU'VE INCREASED THE LINE ITEMS. THOSE SEEM VERY REASONABLE TO ME, BUT MAYBE YOU CAN JUST VERBALLY EXPLAIN THOSE TO PEOPLE.
SO, I MEAN, WE REDUCED THE PER DIEM CLARK LINE.
WE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE NEED.
WE REDUCED THE PART-TIME FOR PULSE.
UM, THE OFFICE SUPPLIES WENT UP BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE WE WERE GOING TO SPEND WHAT WE HAD BUDGETED FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.
SO I'M GOING BACK UP SO THAT THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR WILL HAVE ENOUGH PRINTING.
UM, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WE INCREASED 'CAUSE I'M NOW PART OF THE CLERKS ASSOCIATION FOR THE STATE.
I WANNA HAVE SOME EXTRA EXPENSES WITH THAT.
AND THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE EXPENSES THAT YOU, YOU KNOW WHAT THE AMOUNTS ARE SO YOU I CAN CALCULATE THEM IN.
AND THEN AT, UH, RECORDS MANAGEMENT, AS YOU KNOW, I'M DOING A PROJECT IN MEETING ROOM TO, UH, BETTER PRESERVE THE MAYORAL PORTRAITS.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE? THOSE LINES? I HAVE, UH, I HAVE TO GO BACK.
UH, THE FOURTH LINE DOWN THAT THE ACCOUNTANT, UM, IS, I THINK THAT'S A TYPO UNDER DEPARTMENT REQUEST WHERE IT SAYS 71 7 50 FROM PREVIOUS YEAR ORIGINAL.
THAT THE, IT'S, THE DIFFERENCE EXISTS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY BUDGETED FOR.
[00:05:02]
THAT'S WHY IT IS THE FULL NOW.SO IT'S THE DIFFERENT, THE 17,000 9 0 3 IS FROM THE ADJUSTED BUDGET, WHICH IS WHAT THE BOARD ADOPTED WHEN WE HIRED THE ACCOUNTANT.
IT'S COINCIDENTAL, BUT IT'S ONE SEVEN AND SEVEN ONE.
BUT I THINK THE WAY WE'VE DONE IT IS CORRECT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PUT THE FULL SALARY FOR THE YEAR, EVEN IF YOU HAVE, HAVE IT.
IT'S IN THE, DOES THAT SENSE ORIGINAL BUDGET? NOT ME ADJUSTED.
I MEAN IT WAS IN THE ADJUSTED BUDGET, NOT ME.
AND THEN JUST, UH, ON LONGEVITY UNDER, I SEE THAT THAT'S GOING UP.
WE HAVE AN EMPLOYEE LONGEVITY.
SHALL WE MOVE TO FIVE DEPARTMENTS SINCE WE HAVE, DO WE HAVE EVERYONE FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT? YEAH.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR ACCOMMODATING.
ACTUALLY DROVE AND I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE WALKED
THAT WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
SO I THINK WE'RE ON PAGE, IS IT FIVE? FIRE DEPARTMENT IS PAGE SIX.
SO CHIEFS, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS WE'RE ASKING IF YOU WANNA, IF YOU WANNA FLAG THINGS PARTICULARLY THAT YOU WANT US TO NOTICE, WE PROBABLY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT ITEMS THAT ARE EITHER UNDERSPENT OR OVERSPENT.
BUT IF THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU WANNA FLAG FOR US JUST TO, TO GET STARTED IN THE, IN THE FIRST SECTION, WHICH IS FIRE DEPARTMENT PROJECTS, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
UM, I MEAN, I WROTE A COUPLE THINGS DOWN AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, I FIGURED I'D HAVE TO GIVE SOME SORT OF AN EXPLANATION OF THINGS AND, AND FOR THINGS LIKE, I MEAN, TYPICALLY WHEN WE DO CAPITAL OUTLAY, WE JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR THIS YEAR.
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU ARE A LITTLE BIT UNDERSPENT.
WE WANT TO KNOW WHETHER YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA REACH THAT NUMBER AND IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN TO US SORT OF WHERE THINGS ARE THAT'S, THAT'S HELPFUL.
THE CAPITAL OUTLAY IS UNDERSPENT.
THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE WILL BE ORDERING.
UM, I THINK THE OVERALL BUDGET WE TRY AND OBVIOUSLY MAINTAIN WITHIN OUR OPERATING BUDGET.
WE DO HAVE SOME THINGS PLANNED.
WE HAVE SOME EXTRICATION TOOLS FOR THE NEW, FOR, UH, JOHN'S COMPANIES TRUCK FROM EDGE 46.
THERE ARE SOME ATTACHMENTS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT, THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE.
THOSE ARE GONNA BE ON ORDER AND THEY WILL, YOU KNOW, REDUCE OUT OF THAT NUMBER AND GET IT CLOSER TO THE, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE, THE ANNUAL, UH, NUMBER.
SO THAT'S FOR THIS YEAR, RIGHT? THAT'S FOR THIS YEAR, YEAH.
SO YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA GET UP TO CLOSE TO THE 27,000? YEAH, WE HAVE 11 SPENT, THERE'S THOSE TOOLS TOTAL OUT A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE SOME REPLACEMENT RADIOS THAT WE HAVE TO GET, NOT SE SEPARATE FROM THE CAPITAL PLAN IN THE FUTURE, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED AND WE'RE OUT OF MAINTENANCE OF RADIO MONEY.
SO WE'RE GOING USE THEM, GET IT OUTTA THERE, BUT IT'LL, IT'LL GET EXPENSE FOR SURE.
UM, THE OTHER THING IS, AND FOR NEXT YEAR, SO YOU ARE, YOU'RE GOING UP BY 3000, SO WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR THE 30,000? JOHN CAN TALK MORE ON THAT.
THERE'S, THERE'S ANOTHER EXECUTION TOOL THAT IS BEING PURCHASED AND THAT RUNS ABOUT A THIRD OF THAT TOTAL NUMBER.
WE HAVE, UH, WE'VE EQUIPPED ENGINE 46 LAST YEAR WITH A RAM AND A CUTTER.
UM, THOSE ARE EDUCATION TOOLS FOR EXECUTION TOOLS.
WE'RE GETTING SOME, YOU KNOW, ATTACHMENTS TO GO WITH THEM IN THIS YEAR'S CAPITAL.
UM, BUT IT'S $13,000 FOR THE RAM.
AND THAT WILL COMPLETE THE WHOLE SET OF TOOLS THAT WE CAN PRETTY MUCH, UH, DO ANYTHING.
UM, SO THAT'S 13,000 OFF THE BAT.
I WAS RUNNING OUTTA MY HOUSE, MY HOUSE, BUT, UH, THERE ARE CAPITAL.
IT'S PROBABLY IN THIS BOOK, BUT I THINK IT'S DIFFUSE PUBLIC TO KNOW.
UM, WE DON'T, WE OH, ARE THEY RIGHT IN FRONT OF US? YEAH.
BUT, UH, WHAT'S THAT CAPITAL? YEAH.
REPLACEMENT TRUNKED PORTABLE 46.
PLUS THE RAM, THAT PORTABLE RUNS $9,009,000.
SO THAT'S ALREADY UP OVER 20 RIGHT THERE FOR CAPITAL.
WHAT WAS THE THING? THAT WAS 9,000? THE, THE REPLACEMENT PORTABLE RADIO FOR INCH 46.
BUT THAT'S, THAT'S, I THOUGHT YOU JUST SAID THAT WAS THIS YEAR.
NO, THAT'S, SO THERE'S TWO TYPES OF RADIOS.
SEE, THERE'S THE RADIOS THAT WE USE, WHICH ARE LIKE SAY ME TO U AND THEN THE RADIO THAT WE SPEAK TO OUR DISPATCHERS WITH AT WESTCHESTER COUNTY UP IN VALHALLA, THOSE ARE A MUCH MORE, UH, IN DEPTH, UH, TECHNOLOGY SPECIFIC RADIO THAT ALLOWS US TO SPEAK.
THOSE RUN A LOT MORE MONEY IN THE, THESE ARE THE ONES THE COUNTY DOESN'T PROVIDE FOR US.
AND WE, WE LIKE TO HAVE THE INDIVIDUAL TRUCKS TO HAVE 'EM AS WELL.
[00:10:01]
EVERY YEAR WE'VE BEEN PUTTING ONE ON AN APPARATUS.SO THE LADDER AND PROTECTION, I MEAN THE LADDER AND ENGINE 45 UNION TOWN THIS YEAR WOULD BE, UH, RIVERVIEW MANOR.
YOU KNOW, WE JUST, EVERY YEAR, INSTEAD OF BUYING A BULK OF THEM, WHICH THEY'RE SO EXPENSIVE, WE BUY ONE A YEAR AND WE'RE PHASING THEM IN TO THE, UH, EACH COMPANY.
SO IF THEY STEP OUT OF THE ENGINE AND ONE OF US ARE NOT THERE, THEIR COMMAND, THEN THEY CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE COUNTY.
AND DO YOU HAVE THE REMAINING 10 K? A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 10 K.
WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE? CAPITAL, WE HAVE DE HYDRAULIC TOOLS.
THINK WE WANTED TO GET ANOTHER EXHAUST FAN, BUT THAT'S NOT IN THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT.
WE HAVE THE TRUNK PORTABLE AND THE, THE HYDRAULIC RAM.
AND, AND, AND THAT, AND THAT WAS ALSO WE, UM, THERE WITH THE, A BALANCE OF, UH, ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
THEY MAKE A BLANKET, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE FIRE, IT'S ALMOST POSSIBLE TO PUT THEM OUT, UM, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY SQUIRTING WATER ON IT JUST TO KEEP IT COOL TO STOP ANYTHING ELSE FROM BURNING.
BUT THEY MAKE THESE BLANKETS NOW, THE, THE TRIBAL BRIDGE TUNNEL GUARD, FRANK, THE THIRD CHEAP, JUST POUR A HOLE PUNCH FOR THEM.
UM, AND YOU BASICALLY DRAPE IT OVER THE BAR AND IT'LL CONTAIN THE FIRE.
SO IF YOU CAN GET TO IT BY SOME GARAGES OR BELOW GROUND PARKING, WE HAVE, YOU CAN'T PUT IT OUT.
SO AT LEAST WE CAN CONTAIN IT FROM EXPANDING THERE.
UH, UH, I THINK THERE'S 1600 EACH.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE, FOR THE REMAINDER OF, WE DIDN'T ADD TO THE LIST.
UM, THE OTHER LINE THAT LOOKS LIKE IT HASN'T BEEN EXPENSED IS MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLES.
UM, THREE OF OUR APPARATUS HAVE JUST GONE FOR SERVICE.
ONE WAS 15,000, ONE WAS 5,000.
AND THEN THERE'S ONE MORE TO GO THAT HAS A PROJECTED $10,000 BILL.
I'M TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH YOU.
MAY, WHERE IS THAT? I SAID MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT.
IT SAYS, IT SAYS SIX ONE A TYPE OF, I PUT THE DOLLAR FIGURE THERE INSTEAD OF THE WORK.
SO THAT'S VEHICLES, MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLES.
AND THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF US THERE.
THERE'S 27, 4 70 AND 90 CENTS REMAINING.
AND WHAT I'M SAYING IS THERE'S BILLS THAT ARE ENCUMBERED THAT HAVEN'T BEEN PAID OUT YET, AND THEY WILL TOTAL THAT NUMBER FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.
IS ONE HERE FOR 15,001 YEAR? 7,007.
AND THEN THE AMOUNT YOU'VE PUT IN IS JUST YOUR EXPECTATION.
YEAH, THAT'S A, THAT'S A FAIR NUMBER I THINK LOOKING BACK AT THE RIGHT.
SO CLOTHING'S ALSO UNDERSPENT, UH, HOLD ON.
SO CLOTHING WAS ONE THAT CAME UP IN OUR DISCUSSION.
UM, THE WAY THAT WE ORDER OUR GEAR AND THE WAY THAT WE ORDER OUR UNIFORMS IS WHEN THESE FIRE NEW FIRE MEMBERS THAT AREN'T, THAT DON'T HAVE EXPIRED GEAR, BASICALLY THE GEAR ESSENTIALLY ALL EXPIRES AT THE SAME TIME.
'CAUSE IT'S A 10 YEAR PERIOD WHEN WE PURCHASE 'EM TO, WHEN THEY EXPIRE.
THE NEW MEMBERS, WHEN THEY COMPLETE THE FIRE TRAINING THROUGH THE COUNTY, WHICH ISN'T OFFERED AS OFTEN AS WE'D LIKE, BUT IT'S OFTEN TWO OR THREE TIMES A YEAR.
WE LIKE TO GIVE THEM USED GEAR THAT FITS THEM FOR TRAINING BECAUSE THEY KIND OF BEAT IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
AND THEN THEY GET A NEW SET AND IT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, GIVES US THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE DEPARTMENT TO GET A BRAND NEW SET OF GEAR.
AND THAT USUALLY HAPPENS AROUND THE SAME TIME EVERY YEAR.
SO THERE'S FOUR SET OR TWO SETS ORDERED, AND THERE'S 10 UNIFORMS ORDERED FOR GUYS THAT HAD NEEDED FIRE UNIFORMS. AND THESE, A NEW SET OF GEAR IS $3,500 AND WE NEED TWO NOW.
SO WE, WE'VE GOT JUST RECEIVED ON THE BILLS HERE.
WE JUST, IT JUST HASN'T HIT THE, THE, THE LINE THERE.
THAT'S 6,672 FOR TWO SETS OF BUNKER GEAR.
UM, AND THERE'S TWO MORE ORDERED AND THEY'RE LIKE A 90 DAY LEAD TIME FOR TOTAL FABRICATION OF THEM.
SO WE'RE WAITING FOR THOSE TIPS, UH, UNIFORMS, WHICH IS 4,719, WHICH IS ALSO ORDERED.
SO, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT IN HERE, YOU KNOW, PAPERWORK HERE.
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE THAT'S NOT, SEEMS NOT TO BE EXPENDED SO MUCH IS SERVICE CONTRACTS.
I'M IMAGINING THAT'S A FIXED AMOUNT.
SO WE CAME UP WITH THAT NUMBER.
WE TOOK A LOT OF THOSE ANNUAL CONTRACTS OUT.
UM, FOR EXAMPLE, OUR, OUR REPORTING SYSTEM, WHICH IS, IT'S CALLED FRS, IS OUR REPORTING SYSTEM.
FIRE RESCUE SOFTWARE IS A $10,000 500 EXPENSE, I BELIEVE THAT JUST CAME OUT.
BUT THEN THERE'S, UM, THE ESO, WHICH IS FOR THE AMBULANCE, THERE'S THE ANNUAL CONTRACT WITH
[00:15:01]
JARED FROM GREENBURG TO DO THE EMS, UM, CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION TRAINING, WHICH IS $3,500.THERE'S $1,400 FOR OUR WEBSITE THAT RUNS THROUGH THAT.
UH, THERE'S THE HOSE TEST, THERE'S THE ANNUAL TESTING THAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME RATE EVERY YEAR.
IT'S, UM, YEAH, THERE'S A COUPLE DIFFERENT, UH, UH, WE HAVE THE EVENT FANS, UH, THE, THE AUTO EXHAUST SYSTEMS, UM, THAT WE'VE, YOU KNOW, WE GOT IN THE INDIVIDUAL FIREHOUSES THAT IN EVERY FIREHOUSE, THE MAINTENANCE OF THOSE COMES OUT EVERY YEAR.
UM, THERE'S ALSO, THERE'S A, THERE'S A BUNCH OF, WHAT IS THE ESO? HOW MUCH IS THAT? THAT'S, UH,
THAT ONE'S IN THE AMBULANCE LINE.
UM, THE, THE CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION FROM JARED FOR GREENBURG, IT'S $3,000.
WELL THAT'S FOR THE CPR FIRST AID, A ED THAT WE GIVE TO THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT.
SO WHAT ABOUT, WHAT'S THE REMAINING OH, YOU KNOW, IT ALSO INCLUDES THE, THE $6,000 RADIO AGREEMENT, WHICH WE SHARE WITH THE POLICE AND THE DPW 7,000 RADIO AGREEMENT.
YOU GOT 12 SPENT AND YOU JUST GAVE US 15.
YEAH, IT'S THE RADIO WITH THREE DEPARTMENTS HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO, UM, YEARLY PHYSICALS IS UNDERSPENT.
THEY RUN ABOUT FOUR TO $500 A PHYSICAL.
AND WE DO OUR ANNUAL REPORT, OUR ANNUAL PHYSICAL DAY.
AND IT'S ACTUALLY THIS COMING SATURDAY.
AND I HAVE TO GUARANTEE 30 TO 40 MEMBERS AND I WILL GET THEM.
SO THAT'LL RUN, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER WHATEVER THAT TOTAL IS OUT TO $15,000 RIGHT THERE IN PHYSICALS.
AND THAT'S KIND OF ALWAYS BEEN AROUND THE NUMBER THAT WE'VE TRIMMED THAT NUMBER A COUPLE TIMES.
IT'S KIND OF IN THAT AREA EVERY YEAR.
SO THE PHYSICALS ARE OUR ANNUAL REQUIREMENT BY NEW YORK STATE.
SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE KIND OF COMES OUT THE SAME TIME A YEAR.
IF I GET 40 GUYS DONE ON SATURDAY, THE BILL COMES TWO WEEKS LATER, THAT COMES OUT TO THE SAME NUMBER.
ANYTHING ELSE TO TELL US ABOUT THIS SECTION? UH, I WOULD LIKE TO, IT DIDN'T COME UP, IT DIDN'T GET PUT INTO OUR BUDGET.
I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE RENTAL OF AGREEMENTS FOR THE FIREHOUSES.
WHY DON'T WE DO THAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT LINE? OKAY.
IT'S IN THIS SECTION IF YOU WANTED TO.
THAT'S WHY I WAS BRINGING IT UP.
IF YOU WANNA WAIT TILL THE END, WE CAN DO THAT.
WHERE IS RENTAL BUILDING? IT'S RIGHT UNDER MAINTENANCE OF A EQUIPMENT.
SO THE INDIVIDUAL FIREHOUSES ARE PRIVATELY OWNED, WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE VILLAGE TO RECEIVE RENTAL FOR THE STORAGE OF THE APPARATUS.
IT'S, IT WAS AT 8,000 IN 2017.
AND THEN LOOKING THROUGH ALL RECORDS IN THE FIREHOUSES, THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS REALLY LIKE MID 19 HUNDREDS ACCOUNTING WHEN IT, WHEN YOU DO OVERTIME, WHAT IT, WHAT IT WAS THEN TO WHAT IT SHOULD BE NOW.
AND I KNOW IT WAS NOT BROUGHT UP.
I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE A PRIVATE DISCUSSION.
AND NOW BRINGING IT UP NOW ON, ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANIES, UM, I THINK IT'S FAIR TO GET IT TO THAT NUMBER WHICH THEY REQUESTED.
IT JUST COULD BE STAGED OVER TIME.
AND, AND THEY COULD HAVE INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENTS.
LIKE IF I RENT THEM, IF I RENT, YOU KNOW, THE, THE REC CENTER, I HAVE TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT, THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF AN AGREEMENT AND THEN SOME ANNUAL AGREEMENT MOVING FORWARD THAT THE VILLAGE CAN AGREE UPON THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO THEN COME EVERY YEAR, EVERY FIVE YEARS AND ASK FOR MORE MONEY.
I THINK THAT'S FAIR FOR THE INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES.
AND I KNOW I'VE SPOKEN WITH A LOT OF THE TRUSTEES, SO I MEAN, I DON'T, I'M HAPPY TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT PRIVATELY OR TALK ABOUT IT LATER AT, WITH THE INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES.
BUT I THINK WE SHOULD WAIT FOR TRUSTEE TO ARRIVE AND MAYBE WE SHOULD DISCUSS IT, UM, AND REMIND OURSELVES OF WHAT YOU SENT.
HONESTLY, IT'S NOT TOP OF MIND FOR ME.
THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON AT THE MOMENT.
SO, UH, WE CAN LET YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'LL HAPPEN IN THIS BUDGET OR IN THE BUDGET.
ANY, UM, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SECTION? THIS SECTION? OKAY.
DID YOU WANNA SAY ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS SECTION? NO, I THINK WE'RE GOOD.
MOVING ON TO FIRE PREVENTION THEN.
YOU HAVE QUITE A FEW LINES IN HERE WHERE YOU HAVEN'T SPENT ANYTHING.
UH, YOU HAVE, BUT I THINK YOU'RE TAKING, YOU'RE TAKING SOME FUNDS AWAY.
YEAH, WE REDUCED THE EQUIPMENT.
WE'RE PRETTY UP TO DATE WITH OUR, UH, FIRE SAFES.
I THINK THAT WAS A BUMP A COUPLE YEARS AGO TO GET A NEW FIRE SAFE.
AND WE REDUCED 500 OUT OF THERE.
OFFICE SUPPLIES WERE PRETTY WELL OFF.
BELIEVE AT THE MANAGER'S REQUEST.
'CAUSE WE HOW MUCH PAPER CAN YOU HAVE? I GUESS? WELL, YOU ARE JUST NOT SPENDING IT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S NOT, YEAH, IT'S, WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO DO IS MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE JUST LINE ITEMS. RIGHT.
THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING BILL FOR THAT.
THAT'S PART OF JULIE'S ANNUAL SUPPLIES FOR HER FIRE
[00:20:01]
PREVENTION AND TRAINING THAT SHE DOES WITH THE SCHOOLS.THE TRAVEL MEMBERSHIP I THINK IS, WE'VE BEEN ON TOP OF ALLEN TO STAY CURRENT ON IT.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE.
WE WERE, THE UTILITIES TELEPHONE GOT REDUCED WHERE WE DON'T, WE'RE NOT INVOLVED WITH THAT.
SO THERE'S A CLOTHING LINE WHERE YOU'RE NOT SPENDING ANY MONEY.
THAT'S, I BELIEVE THAT WAS, THAT'S FIRE INSPECTOR.
WE'VE REDUCED IT A COUPLE YEARS.
HE'S, UM, IS HE GONNA SPEND ANY MONEY THERE OR I MEAN EVEN, YOU KNOW, UM, I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND THE LINE HERE.
I MEAN, SIMILARLY WITH EQUIPMENT, YOU, YOU EQUIPMENT DO, BUT THAT LINE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WHERE YOU'RE ALLOCATING EQUIPMENT.
SO I KNOW YOU FIRE PREVENTION EQUIPMENT.
IS THAT A NUMBER THAT'S, UH, THAT'S SET BY YOU MARY BETH? THAT'S PAID? YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S PAID.
I MEAN, IF THERE ARE ANY OTHERS THAT YOU, WHERE YOU'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE VERY HONEST WITH YOURSELVES, YOU'RE JUST NOT SPENDING THAT MONEY, JUST LET IT KNOW.
I MEAN, WE, WE COULD TAKE THAT EQUIPMENT DOWN ANOTHER 500 PROBABLY THINK THAT'S FAIR.
I MEAN, IF HE NEEDS A SHIRT OR FAIR PANTS, THAT'S GONNA, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT SO YOU WANT THE EQUIPMENT TO GO DOWN TO FIVE.
WE COULD, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY BEING USED.
SO THEY YEAH, IT WAS LOOKING THE BOTTOM.
SO, SO WE'RE REDUCING IT TO WHAT, 500? 500 TOTAL AND THE LAST TIME YOU SPENT WAS 74.
I THINK YOU'VE GOT PLENTY IN THERE IF YOU BASE IT ON THE LAST SET OF ACTUALS.
ANYTHING ELSE ANYONE WANTS TO ASK ABOUT THIS SECTION? NO.
MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SECTION.
THERE'S ONE LINE WHERE THERE'S ONE LINE WHERE YOU, I THINK IT'S AMBULANCE TRAINING WHERE THE AMOUNT IS LOW, BUT YOU'VE REDUCED YOU, BUT YOU'VE INCREASED THE LINE.
SO IS THAT A, CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN THAT TO US? THE AMBULANCE TRAINING LINE IS PER THE EMT CERTIFICATION CLASSES, WHICH EACH MEMBER IS REQUIRED TO TAKE TO BE AN EMT THROUGH NEW YORK STATE.
THAT IS REIMBURSABLE THROUGH NEW YORK STATE.
I BELIEVE IT'S LIKE 75% OF IT.
IF JARED CHARGES 1100, I THINK WE GET REIMBURSED 800 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, UNDER AMBULANCE REVENUE YEAR, IT'S, I BELIEVE WE INCREASED IT FOR, UM, BECAUSE IT'S REIMBURSABLE.
BECAUSE WE ARE, WE HAVE GOTTEN IN A LOT OF NEW EMTS AND THERE ARE SOME THAT, UH, ARE YOUNGER AND IT'S HARD TO COME UP WITH $1,100 FOR EMT TRAINING.
SO WE, WE USED TO HAVE THEM FRONT LOAD IT VERSUS THE, AND THEN WHEN THEY COMPLETE IT, THEY GET REIMBURSED BY US AND THEN THE VILLAGE GETS REIMBURSED BY THE STATE.
BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT IT'S UNDERSPENT.
SO ARE YOU EXPECTING TO SPEND THAT IN THIS YEAR OR IS IT JUST UM, THERE'S, IS THIS A YEAR WHERE'S YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA GET MORE THAN, I BELIEVE THERE'S, THERE'S THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE IN TRAINING NOW, SO AT LEAST RON CAN, RON'S THE EMS CAPTAIN.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN FIRE? EMS TRAINING.
BUT SO THE THREE, JUST SO I UNDERSTAND, THE THREE THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE, ARE THEY GONNA USE UP THE REMAINDER OF THE 7,000 OR NOT? I, I CAN'T.
OR HAVE THEY ALREADY BEEN TRAINED? THOSE ONE? NO, THEY, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN THAT, THAT HASN'T BEEN EXPENSED YET BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE CLASS YET.
SO THAT'S, SO REALLY THREE PEOPLE IN TRAINING, THAT'S $3,300.
THAT WOULD BE HALF OF THAT 7,000 REMAINING.
SO THAT'S JUST, IN OTHER WORDS, YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA HAVE MORE PEOPLE THAN YOU HAD THIS YEAR, BUT NEXT YEAR YOU EXPECT TO HAVE THE FULL QUOTIENT.
OR DO YOU REALLY NEED THAT TO BE SEVEN? I MEAN, THE HOPE IS THAT WE GET MORE EMTS 'CAUSE IT'S CERTAINLY A NEED.
AND WE ARE THE ONLY FULL VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE CORPS IN NEW YORK STATE PROBABLY AT THIS POINT.
SO, UM, SOUTHERN NEW YORK STATE.
SO TO HAVE THAT MONEY FOR TRAINING TO AS A, AS A, AS A RECRUITMENT AND AND RETENTION THING.
I THINK LEYS FULL VOLUNTEER, THEY THEY ARE DISCHARGE.
ONE, THEY HAVE THE, I THINK THAT THE HEAD OF IT IS PAID.
NOT ACCORDING TO THEM, MAYOR, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS KNOW BETTER.
SO, BUT WE THINK THAT THAT AMOUNT IS GONNA BE USED ON BASICALLY
[00:25:01]
YES.WE, WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS USED UP.
AND THE POSITIVE OF IT IS, IT IS REIMBURSABLE TOO, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, AND THE RENTAL OF THE BUILDING IS BACK TO THE OTHER DISCUSSION OR, YES.
UH, WELL, OKAY, WELL, I, I, THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THAT.
THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN AN INCREASE IN YEARS AND THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE, THE REPAIRS AND THEY HAVE TO GET AN INCREASE IN THE LAST BUDGET.
TO FROM, YEAH, FROM THE ANNUAL $300.
WE WE'RE ASKING FOR A THOUSAND INCREASE YES.
WHAT WAS IT, $300 LAST YEAR, THE YEAR BEFORE? YEAH.
AND BEFORE THAT IT, IT HAD BEEN A LONG TIME.
IT DOESN'T GO VERY FAR IN MAINTAINING A BUILDING, ESPECIALLY A BUILDING THAT'S USED AS MUCH AS THAT.
THE AMBULANCE RUNS SO MANY CALLS.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT TAKES A LOT TO MAINTAIN A BUILDING AND THE YARD AND, AND THE PAY, THE, YOU KNOW, YES, YOU PAY THE ELECTRIC, BUT THEY PAY THE GAS, THE WATER, ALL THAT.
AND THEY DON'T, THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE GREENBERG MONEY EITHER.
SO THEY HAVE A VERY MODEST BUDGET AND TO, YOU KNOW, INCREASE IT.
LAST YEAR ALL THE COMPANIES GOT A THOUSAND DOLLARS INCREASE ACQUIRE HOUSING HOUSE.
THEY DID NOT, THEY NEED THIS MONEY TO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A SMALL AMOUNT.
UH, WHAT THEY, THIS IS, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE THE THOUSAND INCREASE INCREASED THIS YEAR.
YOU KNOW, IT, IT, IT, I I, YOU KNOW, IT'S, I KNOW IT'S MONEY AND I'M A TAXPAYER, BUT IT'S MONEY WELL SPENT.
BUT WHAT THEY'RE GETTING, THEY'RE GETTING AHOLD OF, YOU'RE GETTING A WHOLE AND WHAT GO UP TO WHAT THOUSAND? SO 4,300 A YEAR.
THAT'S PRETTY ANY PLACE IN THAT BIG GARAGE.
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT AMBULANCE? OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE? I, I HAVE ONE QUESTION I, I APOLOGIZE FOR.
UM, JUST GOING BACK TO, TO FIRE DEPARTMENT PROJECTS.
I KNOW THERE WAS A CAPITAL OUTLET FOR, FOR THE TRUNK PORTABLE.
I THINK FOR ENGINE 45, I KNOW THERE WAS, UM, MAINTENANCE OF RADIOS 13.
THOSE ARE, I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND BETTER, LIKE THE RADIO, THE ONGOING RADIO PROJECT.
SO I, WE TOUCHED ON THE, SO THE TRUNKED PORTABLE IS THE SPECIFIC PORTABLE FROM WESTCHESTER COUNTY THAT ENABLES US TO COMMUNICATE WITH ALL THESE NEIGHBORING DEPARTMENTS.
AND THE COUNTY DISPATCH ITSELF, THE MAINTENANCE OF THE RADIOS IS THE UPKEEP OF THE HANDHELD PORTABLES THAT WE HAVE, THAT WE USE ESSENTIALLY AS WALK THE TALKIES ON SCENE.
AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THOSE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
RADIO SYSTEM, TOTALLY DIFFERENT IN A MUCH DIFFERENT EXPENSE.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE TOTAL COST OF THE RADIOS.
ONE RADIO IS 3000, ONES ALMOST 10,000 PAGING.
AND, AND THE INDIVIDUAL PAGING UNITS COME OUT OF MAINTENANCE RADIOS ALSO.
THEY WENT FROM BIGGER AND BETTER MODEL.
BUT THOSE, THAT SYSTEM WILL REMAIN EFFECT OR, YES.
AND ACTUALLY THAT SYSTEM, WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW IN ALL OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY, WHEN THEY, THEY CHANGE THE, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO, WE DOING IT ONE A YEAR.
UM, WHEN THEY CHANGED THE SYSTEM, I THINK IT WAS, UH, RON GAGLIARDI AND JIM TY WERE THE TOP TWO CHIEFS.
THEY, THEY WERE ABLE TO, UH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT REALLY.
BUT ANYWAY, ONE TRANSMITS IN UHF AND MAJORS OR BHF OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ALL THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS WERE OPERATING RATING ON A LOW FREQUENCY PAGER SYSTEM, WHICH WAS ELIMINATED.
THEY HAD TO, WITH THEIR WHOLE DEPARTMENT WITH THESE GUYS BACK THEN, SAW WHAT WAS COMING AND, UH, YOU KNOW, KEPT OUR RADIO LICENSE FOR THE OLD SYSTEM.
AND SO WE DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BUY NEW RS AS WE GET NEW MEMBERS OR AS THEY DISINTEGRATE, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO ALL AT ONCE REPLACE THE WHOLE WITH SOMETHING THEY SAW BACK WHEN I SAW IT.
AND WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH THE COUNTY THROUGH OUR OLD SYSTEM, WITH STATE AND NOW, YEAH, IT BENEFITED US GREATLY.
15 YEARS AGO, YOU SO MUCH, DID, DID ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I JUST HAVE ONE REQUEST, WHICH IS, I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT, BUT IT REALLY HELPS US IF YOU CAN GET YOUR BILLS IN BY THIS TIME MM-HMM
SO, UM, NOT GONNA BE AN ISSUE FOR ME MOVING FORWARD, BUT, UM, BUT FOR THE REST OF THE BOARD, THE SOONER THAT YOU CAN GET YOUR ITEMS INTO THE SYSTEM, THE BETTER IT IS FOR US.
AND IF YOU NEED HELP FOR THAT,
[00:30:01]
JUST PLEASE ASK.YOU KNOW, OUR VILLAGE MANAGER, SHE CAN HELP ASSIST ON THE VILLAGE SIDE.
BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR US TO SEE WHAT'S REAL.
YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE WHAT STORY IS OTHERWISE UNDERSTOOD.
I I HAVE ONE COMMENT ALSO, WHICH IS I NOTICED THAT YOUR TOTAL BUDGET ONLY WENT UP JUST A HAIR OVER 1%, WHICH IS AMAZING, WHICH IS WAY LESS THAN INFLATION.
I DUNNO HOW YOU GUYS DO IT, BUT AS A TAXPAYER ALSO, I REALLY TOUGH, TOUGH TO DO IT.
THEY'RE ALL TAXPAYERS TOO, DO THEY? YES, I HEARD.
I, I WILL SAY, UH, THIS WILL BE MY LAST BUDGET.
UM, I, YOU KNOW, I'M LUCKY THAT I HAVE JOHN AS MY KIND OF DAY-TO-DAY, UH, DAY CHIEF ALONG WITH MIKE AND FRANK.
BUT JOHN REALLY, UH, PUTS HIS HEART AND SOUL INTO THE BUDGET.
AND THIS IS REALLY OUR BUDGET TOGETHER.
AND IT'S REALLY MIKE'S BUDGET.
HE'S COMING IN AS THE CHIEF AFTER HIM.
BUT JOHN HAS REALLY DONE A LOT OF WORK.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT PUBLICLY, WHICH I'LL SAY IN MY OUTGOING SPEECH OR WHATEVER.
BUT, UM, AS FAR AS, UH, THE BUDGET GOES, AND OUR DEPARTMENT GOES, IF YOU LOOK AT THESE OTHER NEIGHBORING TOWNS, WE'RE REALLY LIKE THE MOST ROBUST WITH MEMBERSHIP.
TO OPERATE IN THIS, WITHIN THIS BUDGET AND, AND BE ABLE TO PUT OUT THE WORK THAT WE PUT OUT, IT'S A, IT'S A REALLY GREAT THINKING.
I KNOW YOU, AND AS FAR AS YOUR SUPPORT FOR US, IT'S BEEN IMMENSE.
AND THE AMBULANCE AND THE AMBULANCE GO WELL, I INCLUDE THEM IN EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE PART OF US, BUT THEY, YOU KNOW, YES.
THEY REALLY DO, UH, THE BRUNT OF THE WORK AS FAR AS CALLS GO, SO, ABSOLUTELY.
AND I KNOW RESIDENTS APPRECIATE IT IN THE ABSTRACT.
AND RESIDENTS WHO HAVE SPECIFICALLY EXPERIENCED YOUR SUPPORT APPRECIATE IT DEEPLY ON A PERSONAL LEVEL FOR, FOR THEIR FAMILIES.
SO I KNOW THAT I'M SPEAKING FOR EVERYONE WHEN I SAY THAT.
AND YOU KNOW, HONESTLY, TO HAVE SUCH A ROBUST MEMBERSHIP MEANS THAT YOU GUYS ARE BRILLIANT AT BUILDING MORALE AND BUILDING TEAMWORK.
AND THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S, IT'S REALLY COMMENDABLE A GREAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY IN THE DEPARTMENT.
SO IT IT JUST DRAWS PEOPLE IN.
IN EVERY FIREHOUSE AND, AND IN EVERY, AS A DEPARTMENT AS A WHOLE.
AND HOW MANY, UH, ORGANIZATIONS HAVE 17 YEAR OLDS AND 70 YEAR OLDS HANGING OUT TOGETHER? REPUBLIC, DEMOCRATS, YOU NAME IT.
WHATEVER JANITORS, DOCTORS, UH, IT'S ALL ABOUT SERVICE.
WE PROVIDE AND WE ALL GET ALONG.
MAYBE THE WORLD COULD TAKE A LESSON.
THE WORLD COULD DEFINITELY TAKE A LESSON LESSON AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.
BUT WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS FOR, FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO.
AND PLEASE TAKE THAT BACK TO YOUR TEAMS AND TO ALL THE DIFFERENT HOUSES IF YOU CAN.
MAKE SURE THEY GET THAT MESSAGE.
AND THANK YOU, UM, CHIEF LINDA FOR STICKING WITH ALL THE CHIEFS WHO COME ALONG.
ALL MY WIFE WILL DEFINITELY LEAVE ME THIS ONE.
THANK YOU, RON, FOR THE OTHER TOPIC CAN BE FURTHER DISCUSSED AT A LATER DATE, I GUESS, AS FAR AS THAT.
WE CAN DISCUSS THAT AND WE'LL, NOW WE'RE ALL TOGETHER, WE CAN.
WE CAN, UH, WE CAN END UP GETTING TO IT SOON.
I THINK WE JUST NEED TO BE REFRESHED ON WHAT THE DETAILS ARE.
THE VILLAGE MANAGER WILL REFRESH US.
UM, SHALL WE DO IT WHERE, YEAH, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ALL LEAK
YOURS IS SO, SO EASY THAT, THAT NO ONE, IT SHOULD BE, NEEDS TO DISCUSS IT.
THIS IS A GREASE THAT MAKES S ABILITY RUN.
IT IS THIS THAT PAGE, PAGE THREE.
UM, I BELIEVE IT'S PAGE OF WHAT CENTRAL COMMUNICATIONS, RIGHT? UM, PAGE THREE.
DOES MIKE KNOW THAT WE ARE MOVING ALONG FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET? UM, I'LL LET HIM KNOW.
I, I KNOW HE'S GOT A A, A FAMILY THING GOING ON, SO I'M GOING TO TELL HIM IF HE CAN'T GET HERE, THAT I WILL DO MY BEST.
IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? I'LL, IF HE CAN, YEAH.
[00:35:14]
SPECIAL ITEMS, BUT SPECIAL ITEMS WE CAN DO IF WE'RE WAITING FOR HIM.BECAUSE WE'VE DONE VILLAGE MANAGER ALREADY, RIGHT? OH, YES, YES, YES, YES.
BUT MAYBE JUST TELL THE CHIEF THAT WE'RE, WE'RE RUNNING FAST.
I ALSO, BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO PARTS I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS, UH, SOMETHING YOU HAD ASKED ME TO LOOK AT.
UM, LAST MEETING YOU HAD ASKED ME TO LOOK AT THE SALARIES FOR OFFICIALS, AND I DID LOOK AT THAT AND I'M RECOMMENDING THAT, UH, THE MAYORS SALARY BE INCREASED TO 8,000 IN TRUSTEE SALARIES AGREEMENT.
OKAY, SO WE'RE SPEEDING FORWARD, BUT WE'RE GONNA DO IT.
EVERYTHING'S OUT OF ORDER, BUT FROM THE RIGHT DAY.
YOU CAN TALK FAST, DON'T WORRY.
SO WRAP, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANNA FLAG FOR US PARTICULARLY? IT'S ON PAGE THREE.
I, I THINK, UH, OVERALL, UH, THE, HOW DO I PUT THIS? IN THE LAST YEAR, WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO GET THANKS TO THOSE MANAGER AND TREASURER A, UH, GRANT FROM THE COUNTY PUT IN DOWNTOWN WIFI.
AND, UH, THAT GAVE US A GREAT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO BUILD ON.
WE'RE STILL FINE TUNING SOME OF THE ISSUES, SOME OF THE, UH, ACCESS POINTS, BUT, UH, WE KNOW IT'S GONNA, IT'S WORKING IT JUST LITTLE MORE.
AND BY SPRING, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE IT UP AND PUBLICIZED ALONG WITH THAT GOES OUR OWN FIBER NETWORK.
SO WHICH LINE YOU LOOKING AT AS YOU'RE TELLING US THIS, THIS, WELL, THAT WAS EQUIPMENT UPGRADE.
YOU SEE WHERE IT SAYS PUBLIC WIFI, UH, MAIN NETWORK MAINTENANCE AND CAMERAS 10,000.
I'M SORRY, LOOKING AT THE SPREADSHEET.
I'M LOOKING AT MY OWN SPREADSHEET.
IT WOULD BE UNDER HARDWARE PURCHASES AND UPGRADES.
TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT UPGRADE, RIGHT? YEAH.
I'M, I'M SORRY, I WAS BREAKING IT OUT.
SO TECHNOLOGY, EQUIPMENT UPGRADE.
YEAH, THAT WAS ONE I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT.
SO NO, YOU ARE TELLING, KEEP GOING.
SO, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT INCLUDES $6,000 FOR, UH, COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, UH, UPGRADES, UH, FOR THE, ALL, ALL THE DEPARTMENTS, NOT JUST ONE BUILDING, BUT ALL THE DEPARTMENTS, UH, SERVER MAINTENANCES AND, UH, VIRTUAL SERVERS IS ANOTHER 4,000.
AND THEN THE EXPECTED WORK ON THE PUBLIC, UH, FIBER NETWORK MAINTENANCE, AND, UH, ANY KIND OF WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE FOR THE ACCESS POINTS IS ANOTHER 10,000.
AND THEN THE EXTENSION OF OUR OWN VILLAGE FIBER NETWORK AND MAINTENANCE ON THAT IS ANOTHER 10,000.
I DID, I DID HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
IT'S A PUBLIC WIFI PORTION SEPARATE FROM YEAH, IT'S A DIFFERENT NETWORK.
YEAH, IT'S SEPARATE FROM, I'M SORRY, WERE YOU GONNA SAY SEPARATE FROM, IT'S SEPARATE FROM, IT'S FROM THE, IT'S THE VILLAGE FIBER.
IS THAT WHAT YOU FROM THE RAW FIBER? WELL, IT, YEAH, IT, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S GOT WELL PROTECTION OF OUR NETWORK.
YOU DON'T WANT A PUBLIC NETWORK BEING ATTACHED TO YOUR NETWORK BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY HACKS INTO IT, THEY CAN GET INTO THE NETWORK.
SO WE'VE MADE THIS PUBLIC AND WE'VE MADE IT SEPARATE FROM OUR IT WAS NOT CONNECTED BY EAST? NO.
IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SYSTEM.
AND IT WAS DONE, UH, BY DESIGN, UH, AND UH, IT WAS DONE BY A CONTRACTOR, NOT BY, UH, AND THAT AND WHAT IS CAMERAS? WE ACTUALLY HAVE CAMERAS ON, WE, WE HAVE SOME PUBLIC CAMERAS AND WE ALSO HAVE CAMERAS THROUGHOUT THE
[00:40:01]
BUILDING.I'M TALKING ABOUT THE, LIKE YOU BROKE OUT TWO SEPARATE 10,000 BUDGET.
BECAUSE ONE OF THEM SAYS CAMERA ONE IS FOR THE EXTENSION.
FOR INSTANCE, WE JUST COMPLETED, UM, CONNECTING UNIONTOWN FIREHOUSE ONTO OUR NETWORK DOES NOT.
AND NOW, AND NOW WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A CABLE MODEM.
NOW IT'S AN INTERNAL NETWORK, BUT YOU KNOW, AND, AND THEN THAT NETWORK CONNECTS TO THEIR FBS SERVER, WHICH IS IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER VIRTUAL.
AND, UH, THIS ALLOWS FOR FASTER PATIENT FLOW ITSELF.
UM, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, UH, 16 54, 31 CENTRAL COMMUNICATIONS IN OUR SURE.
IT'S OVERSPENT BY 8,000, BUT THEN YOU'RE BUDGETING THE SAME 65,000 FOR NEXT YEAR.
UH, WE, DUE TO SOME OF THE, UH, PROGRAMS THAT, UH, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD, WE USE, UH, DATA SERVERS FOR THE DEVICE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE CONNECTED VIA THE FIBER.
AND THOSE COSTS WILL COME DOWN.
THEY, THEY WERE, THEY WERE NOT PLANNED.
THEY WERE ADDED BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR THEM FOR THIS TIME THAT WE CAN GET OUR NETWORK.
WERE THEY PAID FOR PARTLY BY THE BRONX OR NO.
SO THAT WAS JUST AN UNEXPECTED UPGRADE.
NO, THESE, THESE ARE THINGS THAT THE COUNTY REQUESTS.
AND, AND, AND SO LIEUTENANT, AGAIN, THIS IS CENTRAL COMMUNICATION.
SO IF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT NEEDS SOMETHING, WE HAVE TO DO IT.
IT COMES OUT OF THE BUDGET AND THEN WE, THEN I WORK WITH, UH, CHIEF AND THE LIEUTENANT AND PROTECT IT TO SEE IF WE CAN LOWER IT OR MOVE IT ONTO A NETWORK OR, YOU KNOW, UM, ONE OF THE REASONS, FOR INSTANCE, YOU SAW THE FIRE DEPARTMENT LOWER THEIR TELEPHONE COSTS WAS WE USED TO CHARGE THEM FOR CELL PHONE.
AND WE DON'T CHARGE THEM ANYMORE BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO JUST BEFORE SPRINT AND T-MOBILE MERGED, SPRINT HAD A, UH, A PROGRAM FOR FIRST RESPONDER AND FOR 10 YEARS WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANY CELL SERVICE.
SO THAT LOWERED A LOT OF THE COSTS.
YOU KNOW, WE PUT EVERYBODY WE COULD ON THAT PROGRAM IF THEY WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AMBULANCE, THE POLICE.
AND I KNOW THE POLICE GOT, I THINK, WAS IT A 220,000 BUDGET, UH, GRANT, WHICH WAS USED FOR VARIOUS THINGS? SIX.
SOME OF IT WAS THE COMMUNICATION RELATED THINGS.
IT'S THE RADIO CONSOLE AND THEN WE USED SOME OF IT FOR SOME OF THE, UH, SOFTWARE THAT NEEDS THE NEW VEHICLES, RIGHT? YES.
RIGHT NOW I'M WORKING WITH POLICE, UH, BUILDING A WHOLE NEW, UH, WATER.
THE, THE ONE ITEM THAT I AM NOT SEEING ANY EXPENDITURE ON IS THE PART-TIME STAFF.
UH, WELL, WE SPENT SOME, MAYBE DON'T YOU HAVE AN INTERN? I DO HAVE AN INTERN COMING, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE'S NOT COMING UNTIL THE END MAY.
SO, UM, SO YOU JUST WON'T SPEND THAT MONEY? I, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA SPEND IT THIS YEAR.
I, I, I DO HAVE ANOTHER PERSON WHO DOES HELP OUT, AND IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT IF THAT PERSON WANTS TO DO SOME EXTRA WORK, COULD CHARGE IT TO THAT.
BUT YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE ANOTHER ITEM WHERE THERE WAS AN UNEXPECTED EXPENDITURE.
WE, WE, SO THAT COVERS, WE'VE HAD A, A COUPLE OF THOSE INCLUDING THE EV CHARGING STATION THAT SCHNEIDER, THE WHOLE HEAD HAD TO BE REPLACED.
AND DOES THAT COME OUT OF YOUR BUDGET? YES.
OR OUTTA CONTINGENCY? NO, IT COMES OUTTA MY BUDGET BECAUSE OKAY.
SO, SO IS THAT, WHERE WOULD THAT BE UNDER, UH, IT'S UNDER EQUIPMENT.
UH, 200 WHAT? ONE? 5 6 1 6 5 0 2 0 5 OH OH EQUIPMENT UPGRADE THAT IN HERE.
IT'S THE ONE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE.
SO THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE EV CHARGES.
WE PAY THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE, WE DO EVERYTHING.
[00:45:06]
WARRANTY.RIGHT? THAT'S ACTUALLY, I WAS THE ONE WHO DID THE GRANT.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET ANOTHER ONE.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK, UH, I THINK THEY HAVE PLANS.
THEY DO, IF THE COUNTY EVER GIVES US DOCUMENTS, DON'T, DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
DON'T BE BREATHE IN THE DIRECTION OF IT.
IT'S JUST BE ONE OF THOSE TERRIBLE GRANTS.
UM, I HAVE ONE ON FOR THIS, FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADES.
AND ACTUALLY THE NEXT ONE ALSO CENTRAL COMMUNICATION.
ARE THERE ANY NEW SOFTWARE UPGRADES OR, OR NEW, UM, NEW UPGRADES OR CONTINUATIONS? WELL, I MEAN THIS BEING CONTRACT, BECAUSE I'M SORT OF WONDERING HOW WELL, UH, I MEAN I DID LOOK AT YOUR BREAKDOWN.
I'M JUST WONDERING IF LIKE ANY OF IT'S DIFFERENT FROM US.
UH, WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS, UH, I, I NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GONNA BE PUT IN THERE.
LIKE THE POLICE COULD SAY YOU TAKE OVER THE, THE MAKE THAT'LL BE MILO.
UH, BUT WE DO HAVE, WE DO HAVE, WE HAVE ADDED NEW SOFTWARE LIKE LAZY FISH, UH, AND EVEN EVENTUALLY THE F PERMIT, TAKE IT FACEBOOK.
I'M NOT, AND UH, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I HAVE A LOVE AND HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH SOFTWARE RIGHT NOW.
BECAUSE IN MY OPINION, GOVERNMENTS ARE LOCAL, GOVERNMENTS ARE SPENDING WAY TOO MUCH ON THIS.
AND THE COMPANIES ARE ALL MERGING AND WE'RE GETTING REALLY NOT GOOD SERVICE WHEN WE HAVE PROBLEMS. AND IN MY OPINION, THIS IS JUST MINE AND THE VILLAGE MANAGER IS ROLLING EYES.
UM, I'M NOT, I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE NOT RIGHT
NO, I'M JUST SAYING I'M ANNOYING
UM, MY OPINION IS THAT IT SHOULD BE A CLOUD IN THE STATE THAT GOES TO THE COUNTY THAT GOES DOWN TO US.
THAT LEASE SOFTWARE SHOULD BE UNIFIED.
THE BUILDING SOFTWARE SHOULD BE UNIFIED.
OUR FINANCIAL SOFTWARE SHOULD BE UNIFIED AND IT, IT SHOULDN'T REALLY COST THE LOCAL TAXPAYER WHAT IT'S COSTING.
MAKE IT A LOT MORE COMPETITIVE.
WELL, IT WOULD ALSO MAKE IT STANDARDIZED.
THEY'RE THE PEOPLE WHO, WHO ARE LOOKING AT OUR RECORDS.
THEY SHOULD GET THE RECORDS RIGHT AWAY.
IF THERE'S A PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT CAME OUT CALLED TRAFFIC AT THE POLICE SHOOT, AND IT'S UNIFYING THE ACCIDENT REPORTS AND, AND, AND THE TICKETS.
THAT'S THE KIND OF, AND IT'S FREE.
RIGHT? THAT'S THE KIND OF SOFTWARE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SHOULD BE GETTING.
AND EVENTUALLY, I HAVE A FEELING THIS, WE, WE WILL, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO GET THE GOVERNMENT, STATE GOVERNMENTS TO BRING US SOFTWARE.
IT WILL BE A, A TAX SAVINGS, YOU KNOW, FOR THE TAXPAYERS.
BUT THAT'S JUST MY, YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY TO WAX ON ABOUT IT.
NO, I THINK WE ALL AGREE WITH YOU.
I THINK THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE, THE COMPANIES GO OUT OF BUSINESS AND THEN YOU'RE STUCK WITH THIS YEAH.
SOFTWARE PACKAGE OR THEY TAKEN OVER OR THEY GET TAKEN OVER.
BUT, BUT I THINK IT'S MORE OF A PROBLEM WHEN THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS.
AND YOU'RE STUCK WITH SOMETHING THAT JUST DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.
AND YOU KIND OF RUN IT FOR AS LONG AS IT CAN GO.
AND THEN THE WHOLE THING COLLAPSES.
THEY JUST STOP SUPPORTING IT BECAUSE THEY DEVELOPED A NEW, BIGGER, BETTER SOFTWARE.
WELL, THAT'S TELL YOU SORRY, THAT IS ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENED TO THE POLICE SOFTWARE.
THE IMPACT THEY GOT TAKEN OVER BY CENTRAL SQUARE AND THEN THEY'RE PHASING IT OUT.
SO NOW WE HAD TO GO AND BUY CENTRAL SQUARES.
I THINK THE SAME THING HAPPENED ACTUALLY TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
AND SO WE GOT LUCKY WITH THAT GRANT BECAUSE IT ENABLED THEM TO GET A NEW SOFTWARE.
WELL WHAT, UH, ANTHONY, UH, WAS JUST, WE JUST HAD A MEETING TODAY WITH A GENTLEMAN WHO'S GOING TO GET THE DATA OFF THE OLD SYSTEM, PUT IT LOOSE MAGIC OR JUST APPROVE THAT.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE GREAT SUPPORT.
IT'S JUST REALLY FABULOUS TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE INTERNET ON WHEREVER WE ARE.
WE'RE PROBABLY ALL, YOU ARE MAKING IT MUCH TOO EASY FOR US TO BE SO STATIC.
[00:50:01]
ALL RIGHT.I THINK THAT, UM, DPW IS ON PAGE EIGHT.
HOW ARE YOU A JUDGE FOR BEING LATE? NO WORRIES.
SO WE'VE GOT ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD FOR YOU.
UM, I WANTED TO SAY, JUST LOOKING AT THIS BUDGET, THAT A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN MOVED AROUND.
IT SEEMS, IT FEELS AS IF SOME ITEMS MAYBE WENT UP BECAUSE THEY'RE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
BUT MAYBE YOU CAN EXPLAIN SOME OF THE BIG CHANGES BOTH OF YOU.
THERE ARE SOME, SOME QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE SPECIFICALLY, BUT, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, JUST FEEL FREE TO FLAG.
THE ONLY CHANGE THAT I CAN THINK OF IS THE, UH, IS THE, UH, THAT I PUT, I ADDED SOME ING INTO THE OPERATION.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T THINK BIG CHANGES BECAUSE THE PERSONNEL CHANGES WHICH HAVE, WHICH HAS HELPED REDUCE THE, THERE'S A MAINTENANCE OF STREETS THAT WENT UP BY 20,000.
THAT'S MAINLY BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE USING, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE NOW HAVE, SO WE'RE THE USING, OKAY.
SORRY, I'M, I TOOK US DOWN A SECTION.
SO MAYBE LET'S START AT HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION.
THAT SEEMS FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD TO ME.
MOST OF THAT IS, IS PERSONNEL RELATED OR VERY MINOR.
DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS IN THAT SECTION? NO.
SO MOVING ON TO STREET MAINTENANCE, THE BIG POP OUT ITEM IS THE LAST ITEM PAVING IN CURBING WHERE 150,000 IS PUT INTO THE BUDGET JUST FOR EVERYONE TO BE AWARE.
UM, THE VILLAGE MANAGER HAS ADVOCATED FOR THAT FOR SOME TIME.
AND YOU KNOW, WE DO GET, WE GET MONEY THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THIS CHIP'S MONEY.
AND SO IT'S HELPFUL THAT IT'S IN THE BUDGET.
WE FUNDED FOR THIS IN THE PAST.
SO I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT BEING IN THERE.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WE'RE GONNA SPEND THIS MONEY.
SO HERE IT'S EASY TO SEE, BUT IT'S IN THE, IN THE BUDGET.
AND I, AND I THINK IT, IT, UM, IT REFLECTS, UH, YOU KNOW, THE REVENUE.
WE GET MONEY, WHAT IS IT? BUT I STILL INCLUDED IN THE, IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET PING AS WELL.
BUT YOU'RE MAKING CLEAR WHERE IT COMES FROM THAT THIS IS YES.
SO THERE'S CHIPS, NEW YORK, THERE'S PAID NEW YORK.
I FEEL LIKE THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.
UM, EMERGENCY WINTER RECOVERY AND THEN PAVE OUR POLYS.
AND THEY, FOR THESE BITS AND PIECES HERE, 60,000, 25,000, WHATEVER.
SO IT SEEMS LIKE A FAIR AMOUNT, WE'LL PROBABLY SPEND MORE THAN THIS.
150 IS THE TOTAL FROM WHAT YEARS PASSED? I'M SORRY, 150 IS WHAT, FROM YEARS? WELL, WE COULD SPEND A LOT THAN YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I YEAR WE SPENT THAN THAT WE SPENT OVER $800,000 IN THIS, THIS CURRENT YEAR THAT WE'RE IN NOW 25.
IT'S ONE 50 TOP OF WHAT YEAR USUALLY IT'S IN.
I HAVE, I HAVE, WE WE ARE IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET.
THIS IS JUST ENSURING THAT THERE'S AN AMOUNT THAT'S IN THE OPERATING BUDGET FROM YEAR TO YEAR.
IT'S A NEW PRACTICE AND IT ACCOUNTS FOR REVENUE THAT'S COMING IN.
SO THERE'S NOTHING, THIS IS THIS, THERE'S ACTUALLY AN OFFSETTING OF THIS IN MY OPINION.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT EXACTLY ADDS UP TO THIS, BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT.
YEAH, IT FEELS PRETTY CLOSELY.
BUT WE, IN ADDITION, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE CAPITAL BUDGET, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS MORE MONEY AND THAT MONEY CHANGES FROM, YOU KNOW, CAPITAL BUDGET TO CAPITAL BUDGET.
THERE WAS ONE YEAR WHERE WE, WE ACTUALLY ENDED UP DECIDING TO SPEND 2 MILLION ON ROADS AND WE, WE PASSED THAT OUT OVER A SERIES OF YEARS.
WE DID ACTUALLY 1 MILLION I THINK IN THE FIRST YEAR.
AND THEN THE OTHER, THE SECOND MILLION WE DID OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS.
BUT WE HAD TO OBVIOUSLY FUND THAT.
THAT'S TOO MUCH MONEY TO PUT INTO A BUDGET LIKE THIS.
BUT I THINK THIS IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO MOVE FORWARD SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT.
AS LONG AS YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S IT.
RIGHT? THAT IS IN STORM SEWERS.
AND WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY, A LOT OF WORK.
SO CAN WE, JUST, BEFORE WE GO ON, I SEE THAT, THAT THE CAPITAL OUTLAY LINE IS, IS PRETTY LOW
[00:55:01]
AND YOU'VE REDUCED IT A BIT, BUT DO YOU EXPECT THERE TO BE, LIKE IS THERE OTHER, WHAT IS THE CAPITAL OUTLAY GONNA BE? THAT'S LIKE HARDLY ANYTHING THAT'S BEING SPENT.SHOULD THIS BE GOING DOWN FURTHER? IT COULD BE USED FOR SOME TOOLS GOING HERE AND STUFF.
WE DIDN'T REALLY, UM, WE JUST REPLACED THEM WITH THEM AS FAR AS SOME EQUIP NEEDED EQUIPMENT, UH, MAKE COULD CHANGE OR SOIL OR SOMETHING COMES THE YEAR.
I'M JUST ASKING IF IT'S TOO, IF 1,300 IS STILL TOO MUCH, WHETHER YOU WANT THAT TO BE LOWER GIVEN HOW MUCH IS BEING SPENT.
I MEAN THEY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU CAN BARELY GET A, YOU KNOW, A GOOD POWER TOOL FOR LESS THAN DOLLARS, THESE MAYBE COMMERCIALS THREE POOL.
I, I I, I THINK IT'S GOOD TO HAVE AND YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T ALWAYS KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SOMETHING, BUT IF SOMETHING BREAKS AND YOU TO REPLACE IT, THAT LINE REPLACING THE SMALL TOOLS ONE.
YEAH, I WAS JUST GONNA ASK THAT.
SMALL TOOLS NEVER PROBABLY ANYTHING GOT SPENT IN THAT LINE.
IT SORT OF, IT, IT'S TRUE THEY'VE KIND OF MERGED INTO ONE ANOTHER.
YOU CAN SORT OF SEE THEY TRANSITION.
ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS SECTION FROM ANYONE? NO.
WELL ACTUALLY I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
WHAT IS, THERE'S 20 GRAND FOR MAINTENANCE AND 50 CAN JUST DESCRIBE WHAT THOSE LINES? I MEAN I GET, I GET WHAT? CURING SURE.
PAVING AND CURVING IS PAVING AND CURVING IT.
LIKE WHEN WE GO OUT, YOU KNOW, FOR, FOR OUR BID ON IT.
UH, MAINTENANCE STREET'S OBVIOUSLY TELL YOU MUCH BETTER THAN I POTHOLES, BUT IT'S POTHOLES.
IT'S, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S PEOPLE CALL US.
WHY? OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY WE SPENT A LOT MONEY IN STREET MAINTENANCE ON, ON, ON MAINTENANCE STREETS.
THAT, THAT THEY SHOULD PURCHASE THAT HOT ASPHALT.
YEAH, BECAUSE WE WERE OUT EARLY.
WE'RE OUT, WE'RE GOING OUT TOMORROW USUALLY, USUALLY HIGH.
AND WE'RE WAITING FOR WEATHER TO OUT ASPHALT.
WE'VE BEEN SPREADING IT ALL OUT AND THEY'RE DOING A LOT, A LOT OF WORK.
BUT THAT, IT'S MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE I THINK.
AND THERE'S NO WAY, ABSOLUTELY THERE'S NO WASTE BECAUSE THE TIME OF YEAR YOU DON'T GET HOT S WORKING SO EFFICIENT.
WE DON'T WASTE NOTHING USED TO RENT IT.
AND WE ALSO HAD A SCENARIO WHERE WE WERE DOING IT IN, IN CONNECTION WITH THE OTHER UNI, THE OTHER VILLAGE, VILLAGE MUNICIPALITIES.
YEAH, BUT IT DIDN'T AND IT DIED
WE DIDN'T GET IT WHEN WE WANTED IT.
IT WAS, THIS IS MUCH BETTER TO HAVE OUR OWN SYSTEM.
WE WAIT OR HAVE OTHER THINGS COME UP, YOU KNOW? AND THE POTHOLE KILLER WAS A, A THIRD PARTY CO FACTOR.
THEY JUST, THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK IS NOT THE SAME QUALITY OF WORK THAT WE JUST BE LIKE THE FIRST SPRING SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, BEEN HERE A COUPLE YEARS, YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A LONG LIST OF BOTTLES.
OH, I'VE GOT A COUPLE FOR YOU.
I KNOW
YEAH, DID, I MEAN THAT WAS THE INVITATION.
SO THIS, THIS NEXT SECTION, CENTRAL GARAGE, THE FIRST LINE, IT'S BEEN REDUCED.
SO IF YOU CAN JUST EXPLAIN TO US WHAT'S HAPPENED FOR THAT TO BE REDUCED.
WE HAD A RETIREMENT AND UH, WE, THE NEW PERSONNEL IS AT A MUCH LOWER SALARY AT THIS TIME.
IS THERE WRITTEN, WHY IS IT CALLED PERSONAL SERVICES? 'CAUSE IT IS PERSONNEL.
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE STATE CALLS IT.
IT'S A PERSON THAT'S GIVING YOU SERVICE.
WELL IT'S NOT MIKE, CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW HIM YOUR NAILS?
SO THAT'S JUST BECAUSE OF RETIREMENT.
IT IS AND, AND UH, MORE JUNIOR, CORRECT.
AND THEN, UM, THE OTHER ONE WAS, SO THIS IS ONE WHERE SMALL TOOLS SOMEHOW GOT A LOT IN IT AND YOU WEREN'T SPENDING IT.
AND THAT ONE MADE ME THINK THAT MAYBE IT THE MONEY SHOULD BE GOING TO ANOTHER
[01:00:01]
LINE SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE IT WENT FROM 50 18.IT'S CURRENTLY NO, BUT THE AMOUNT FOR THIS YEAR IS VERY HIGH.
SO I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A MISALLOCATION.
YEAH, I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A MISALLOCATION.
MAYBE YOU CAN JUST LOOK AND SEE WHETHER THAT SHOULD BE IN ANOTHER SMALL TOOL SOMEWHERE ELSE OR CAPITAL SOMEWHERE ELSE.
UM, THERE WAS A VERY LARGE EXPENSE THIS YEAR FOR A TIRE SENSOR.
I THINK THE OLD ONE MUST HAVE GONE DOWN.
THE TIRE SENSORS ON THE CAR TIRE MONITORS CHANGE THE TIRE.
BUT WHY IS THAT ON SMALL TOOLS AND NOT IN MAINTENANCE OF AUTOS OR SOMETHING.
I HONESTLY, I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO PUT IT.
WE SHOULD HAVE ACTUALLY, WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT OR BUT A TOOL LINE MANY, MANY YEARS AGO THERE SHOULD BE, THERE USED TO BE A TOOL LINE FOR THE CENTRAL GARAGE, WHICH IS FOR MECHANIC.
NO, THERE IS A TOOL LINE THERE, BUT IT JUST WASN'T, IT PROBABLY WAS EXPANDED IN THE LAST BECAUSE WE HAD A SEASON MECHANIC PEDAL NEEDED.
WE HAVEN'T LEARNED ONE OUT AND SOME TOOLS THAT OKAY, CARRY OVER FOR THE LAST, LAST MECHANIC, BUT HE'S NOT GONNA NEED ANOTHER ONE OF THESE.
SO THIS IS UNLIKELY TO REPEAT ITSELF.
WE, WE STILL HAVE TO BUY HIM SOME, SOME TOOLS THAT WE NEEDED TO BE, IT COULD BE SCANNERS.
TAKE SOME OTHER LINE JUST, BUT MAYBE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS MOVE THAT TO MAINTENANCE OF AUTO.
IT'S PROBABLY WHERE MAINTENANCE OF YEAH, MAINTAIN CAPITAL.
WE ZERO OUT MANY, MANY YEARS AGO.
WE CAN, IF WE NEEDED A, A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT FOR LIKE A TIRE MACHINE IN THE GARAGE AND WE PUT THAT INTO CAPITAL OUT LATE FOR, BUT NOW I THINK THAT'S WHERE, EXACTLY WHERE A LOT OF THIS IS COMING OUT WITH MAINTENANCE.
I KNOW WE PURCHASED A LOT OF TOOLS, BUT MAINTENANCE WOULDN'T BE SORT OF THE ACTIVE FIXING SOMETHING VERSUS I THINK IT IS A CAP ITSELF.
I THINK IT'S A CAPITAL LOAD LEG.
MAINTENANCE OF AUTO IS USUALLY THINGS LIKE THE PARTS THAT THEY NEED, THINGS LIKE THAT.
NOT THE, THE TOOLS THAT YOU WOULD USE FROM, FROM, YOU KNOW, FROM, FROM JOB TO JOB IN TERMS OF DIFFERENT AUTOMOBILES IS SOMETHING THAT IS MORE LIKE A CAPITAL SMALL, SMALL CAPITAL.
I MEAN MY SENSE FROM WHAT MY SENSE FROM WHAT MIKE IS SAYING IS THAT SMALL TOOLS PROBABLY HISTORICALLY WERE USED LIKE HAND TOOLS.
WHEREAS THE CAPITAL OUTLAY WAS MORE LIKE A, LIKE A LARGER MACHINE, RIGHT? PROBABLY.
THESE WERE LIKE SPANNERS TO THESE SCREWDRIVER OR I MEAN NOW THERE'S A LOT OF NEW TOOLS LIKE YES YOU SCANNERS AND THINGS THAT CAN READ LIKE THE BLACK BOX YOUR, BUT IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST SET OF EXPENDITURES, YEAH.
BUT I THINK THE REASON WHY IS 'CAUSE HE HAD A TOOLKIT.
IF WE CAN MOVE THIS TO THE CAPITAL OUTLAY LINE.
SO IT'LL BE, BUT THERE'S NO CAPITAL OUTLAY EXPENSE.
I KNOW, BUT I THINK, I THINK MAYBE YOU COULD LOOK AT SOME OF THESE BECAUSE IT DOES FEEL AS IF SOME OF THEM ARE NOT, NOT THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALLOCATED QUITE RIGHT IN THE CATEGORIES, THE EXPENSES.
THERE'S A MAINTENANCE OF RADIOS WHERE THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S BEING SPENT.
THAT BILL JUST HASN'T COME IN YET FROM THE VENDOR.
THAT'S THE SAME RADIO EXPENSE THAT POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT HAVE.
I'M JUST, I DON'T KNOW WHAT, WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MAINTENANCE OF THE BUILDING MINE THAT WENT, UM, IT'S BUDGETED AT 20,000 SO FAR.
IT'S BUDGETED NEXT YEAR AT 20,000.
THIS YEAR WE DID GARAGE DOORS.
HAD WE HAD A LOT OF, WE HAD EV, EV AND CHARGES BOTH.
UM, WE HAD A, UH, LOT OF ELECTRICAL HAD TO BE DONE AND POWER UP IN ANOTHER GARAGE.
JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN OLD BUILDING GARAGE DOORS NEW OR THEY, NO, WE REPAIRED THEM GARAGE DOORS.
JUST YOU GREAT REPLACEABILITY FALL OFF THERE.
SO ONCE EVERY FEW YEARS KIND OF THING,
[01:05:01]
I WOULD SAY I WOULDN'T COUNT ON IT.BUT WE HAD THE, WE HAD THE EV CHARGING, YOU KNOW, WE HAD, UH, THE SEWER REJECTED.
UH, THAT'S, THAT'S THOSE STUFF THINGS.
SO THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I, SO THERE'S A BUNCH OF ITEMS THAT ARE JUST COULDN'T REALLY GIVE YOU A TOTAL TOP OF MY HEAD.
YOU GOTTA HAVE SOME WORK COMPANY COMING, CLEAN IT OUT.
I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A LOT OF MAINTENANCE.
I'M JUST MORE CONCERNED THAT YOU'RE GOING BACK TO THE 20,000 AS THE BUDGET.
I THINK WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THAT THERE'S JUST A LOOK BACK OVER PREVIOUS YEARS AND SEE THAT IT GOES UP AND DOWN IS NORMALLY REASONABLE.
ATHLETES, IT'S A LITTLE BIT HIGH COMPARED TO WHAT NORMALLY HAPPENS.
AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA GET A YEAR WHERE THERE'S A BLIP.
LIKE FOUR THINGS HAPPEN AT ONCE.
THIS IS THE YEAR WITH CHARGER AND THE ELECTRICAL WORK WE HAD DO IN THERE.
SO THAT'S NOT GONNA BE, THAT'S NOT GONNA BE RIGHT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE GONNA BE BUT SOMEWHERE, BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE THAT 30 K EXPENSE.
BUT THE SALT SHED IS, THE SALT SHED IS A TRAUMA.
I FEEL BAD FOR MIKE EVERY TIME HE WALKS IN THERE.
I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A SIGN OUTSIDE.
UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THIS SECTION? ANYONE MOVING ON TO SNOW REMOVAL? UM, THE RED, THIS, THIS IS THE MAGIC OF FALL SECTION OF THE BUDGET
THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE SECTION WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY ONE I GUESS IS RENTAL OF EQUIPMENT BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE, WE, WE RENT, WE JUST HAVEN'T RENTED IT.
WE HAVEN'T YES, WE HAD, BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT IN THERE JUST CASE.
IF WE DO HAVE A FUEL, NO EVENTS OF MEASUREABLE SNOW, WE HAVE TO DO SNOW REMOVAL DOWNTOWN.
I MEAN, IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SUPPLIES SECTION, THAT'S SALT, RIGHT? YES.
UM, AND YOU DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU, YOU HAVE TO BUY THAT AMOUNT, OTHERWISE YOU DON'T GET YOUR WE YEAH, WE HAVE AN ALLOTMENT EVERY YEAR.
HAVE YOU HAVE TO BUY HALF OF 80,000? NO, NO, NO, NO.
80 OF THE HALF OF THE TONNAGE THAT WE, I MEAN, I CAN EVERY YEAR 10,000 TO BUY FIVE.
I HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE, I USUALLY AROUND 15 TONS OF SALT BEER.
SO WHAT I WOULD SAY THE AT WHEN I'M 80 SOMETHING A TON.
SO, BUT SO, SO LET'S ASK THE QUESTION A DIFFERENT WAY.
SO IF YOU, SO YOU, YOU DON'T ANTICIPATE, SO YOU ANTICIPATE SPENDING, IF THE AMOUNT FOR WHATEVER IT IS IS 80,000, I YOU HAVE TO SPEND 40,000, BUT YOU MIGHT SPEND MORE.
NO, NOT, IT'S, IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY.
NO, I KNOW, BUT LIKE, LET'S TRANSLATE IT INTO MONEY BECAUSE IT IS GONNA BE MONEY AT THE END OF THE DAY.
THAT'S HOW MUCH THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO SPEND.
YOU HAVE TO SPEND 60,000 OR DO YOU HAVE TO SPEND I I I, YOU KNOW, I, I, UH, EXPECT TO USE 15.
THAT'S ABOUT WHICH IS HOW MUCH MONEY.
THAT'S, THAT'S, WE STILL HAVE SOME, THERE'S THE LATEST OUTSTANDING BILLS THAT OUT.
SO IT'S GONNA BE PROBABLY CLOSE TO THAT NUMBER.
I'M SURE THERE'S, THERE'S $20 OR YEAH, YOU HAVE SOME MORE EXPENSES.
WE JUST GOT 'EM IN TWO WEEKS AGO.
I MEAN, AGAIN, BEGINNING OF MARCH, BOAT WAS COMING IN.
AND YOU HAVE TO SPEND, YOU HAVE TO SPEND, YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE TO BUY.
SO PROBABLY, BUT YOU ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO GET MORE NEED.
THAT'S, THAT WAS JUST, BUT THAT'S WHAT'RE SAYING, SAYING HE'S SAYING YOU HAVE TO SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET MORE, OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T GET MORE.
WHAT THEY DO IS WHY I SAY 1500 GUARANTEE.
THERE ACTUALLY GUARANTEES, GUARANTEE IS, I THINK IT'S 20% OF R OI
[01:10:01]
ABOUTBUT DO YOU, DO YOU GET INTO A SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE TOO MUCH SALT BECAUSE THERE JUST HAS NOT BEEN A BAD WINTER? UM, WE'VE HAD, WELL YEARS AGO, A LITTLE WHILE BACK IS THE SOIL COVERS WERE NICE ENOUGH TO NOT HOLD US.
THE OTHER SAME MENT HOLD US TO OUR, BUT THEY LET US HOLD FOLLOWING YEAR HAD A BIG, BY DECEMBER FOLLOWING YEAR, WE HAD, YOU KNOW, WE HAD LIKE SIX FIVE, WE HAD DELIVERY.
HAD WE EARLY, WE RENEGOTIATE THOSE CONTRACT STATE.
I BELIEVE WE GET THEM OFF THE STATE.
I MEAN, THAT MIGHT BE WORTH TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE THAT SEEMS WE GET IT OFF THE STATE BUDGET.
WE CAN, IF WE NUMBER GO DOWN CAN, IT'S ABOUT THREE STORM.
NO, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT YOU HAVING TO BUY MORE THAN YOU HAVE CAPACITY TO STORE BECAUSE YOU HAD TOO MUCH FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? MM-HMM
WE'RE RIGHT AT THE NUMBER NOW.
SO IT'S USUALLY, I MEAN, MY OBSERVATION, OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY STORE, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES WILL HELP EACH OTHER OUT AND FIND WAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE AREN'T HAVING TO JUST, YOU KNOW, THROW THEIR SALT IN THE RIVER OR SOMETHING, SO TO SPEAK.
OF COURSE I WOULD NEVER DRINK.
BUT I MEAN, I'M JUST SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, IF SOMEBODY, IF ONE MUNICIPALITY GETS IN A JAM, A LOT OF TIMES ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY WILL, WILL.
BUT IF THE CONTRACTS WERE NEGOTIATED AT A TIME WHEN THERE WERE VERY BAD SNOW STORMS AND NOW WE'RE HAVING HARDLY ANY SNOW STORMS, THERE'S A POINT WHERE THOSE HAVE TO BE UPDATED FOR THE PRESENT DAY.
DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? IN TERMS OF THE MINIMUM.
BUT I ACTUALLY FEEL THAT SOMETIMES OUR STORMS ARE MORE ICY NOW THAN THEY ARE.
YOU KNOW, SNOWY SNOW IS, SNOW IS EASIER TO REMOVE THAN ICE.
I'M NOT TRYING TO ARGUE FOR REDUCING THE AMOUNT.
WHAT HE'S SAYING IS YOU DON'T WANT IT TO GO TO WASTE.
I JUST THINK IT'S SILLY THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THOSE KINDS OF ARRANGEMENTS WITH, THAT YOU'RE BEING FORCED TO BUY AN AMOUNT WHICH YOU'RE NOT GOING TO USE.
LIKE, THAT SEEMS NOT GOOD GOVERNMENT.
WELL, YOU USE IT THE NEXT YEAR THOUGH.
YOU DON'T, BECAUSE IT LAST DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T, YOU CAN STORE IT TO WASTE.
IT'S NOT LIKE, SO IT DOESN'T GO BACK.
BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO BUY THE MINIMUM.
BUT I MEAN, IF YOUR UNIT, IF YOUR ASSAULT THING IS FILLED UP, THEN IT, IT, YOU CAN'T PUT ANYTHING ELSE IN THERE RIGHT NOW.
BUT IF WE LEFT THAT EMPTY THE NEXT YEAR, THAT WILL COME OFF.
WE COULD PROBABLY BURN UP 7,000, BUT THEN WE GET INTO CLOSE 1500 MORE.
IF WE HAVE A BAD WINTER, WE'RE NOT GUARANTEED ANYMORE.
I'M SAYING I I SEE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? I KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.
EVERYBODY MOVED DOWN TO, YOU KNOW, BROADWAY AND FARGATE.
OKAY, MOVING ON TO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON SNOW REMOVAL? THE WEIRD SYSTEM FROM THE STATE, SNOW REMOVAL ONTO STREET LIGHTING.
MAINTENANCE OF AUTO EQUIPMENT WHERE THERE'S NO EXPENDITURES.
WE, WE HAVE, WE HAVE OUR CURRENT TRUCK THAT HAS TO BE INSPECTED AND THAT'S ALL THAT COVERED IS PUBLIC SERVICE.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN USING AS MUCH AS WE DID BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YEAH.
YOU STILL HAVE INSPECTIONS THAT HAVE TO BE DONE ON IT.
INSPECTION CABLE AND STUFF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE COUPLE OIL CHANGES THAT THE, AND, AND I WONDERED ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE OF STREET LIGHTS LINE, WHICH IS OVER AND THE CONTRACTUAL SERVICES, WHICH IS QUITE A LOT UNDER, IS THERE A EXPLANATION? THE STREET LIGHTS.
WE BOUGHT A LOT OF STREET LIGHTS BECAUSE WE WERE, HAD A REALLY HARD TIME GETTING THEM.
AND THEN MIKE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THEM.
SO WE, YOU KNOW, HAVE SOME STORAGE AND THE, IS THAT THE MAINTENANCE OF STREET LIGHTS? THAT'S A MAINTENANCE.
SO THAT ONE OFF STREET LIGHTS, THAT'S A ONE OFF EXTENT.
WELL, NO, NO, BECAUSE, WELL, IT'S GONNA CONTINUE BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY NOW WITH THE STREET LIGHTING, WE'RE AT OVER 10 YEARS WITH OUR, UH, LEDS.
[01:15:01]
OF, A LOT OF THAT TROUBLE.THAT'S WHY I GOT, I DID FIND, THAT'S WHY I DID FIND ALLOTMENT.
I PROBABLY HAVE, BUT, BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT, THAT 26TH IS FOR THIS YEAR.
YOU ARE NOT GONNA DO THAT THEN YOU, YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT YEAR THIS YEAR BECAUSE YOU, YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF SUPPLY.
CAN YOU, IT WE SHOULD ABLE TO GO BACK DOWN TO THE 17TH.
CAN YOU PORTION IT OVER MULTIPLE YEARS? UM, WELL, YEAH.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO.
BUT IT WAS A, WHAT HAPPENED? IT WAS LIKE A, A SUPPLY CHANGE.
WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GET THEM, PERIOD.
AND THIS WAS BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE BAW ABOUT STREET LIGHTS, JUST COULDN'T GET LIGHTS.
AND THEN WHAT'S CONTRACTUAL SERVICES THEN? THAT'S THE PERSON WE, WE USED TO HAVE A, UH, PERSON GYM.
BUT JIM RETIRED, SO NOW WE USE IT BOTH SIDES.
SO IS THAT THE FACT THAT WE'VE ONLY SPENT 6,500? I THINK IT'S A DELAY IN BILLING.
AGAIN, I'M SURE THIS BILLS OUT THERE.
HE'S COMING IN IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO DO, UM, WE'VE NEVER USED HIM BEFORE.
SO IS THAT JUST THE AMOUNT OF THE CONTRACT OR IS THAT A ESTIMATE? NO, THAT IS THE AMOUNT THAT WE HAD FOR JIM.
AND WE JUST MOVED IT FROM JIM'S FROM A PER A PERSONAL LINE TO A CONTRACTUAL SERVICE.
BUT IT'S, IT'S DONE ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS.
BUT DOES IT SEEM LIKE, DO YOU THINK THAT'S TOO MUCH? UM, WELL, I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T REALLY DONE IT BEFORE.
UM, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE STILL HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE STILL HAVE SPRING FOR WHATEVER CHANGES WE'RE GONNA MAKE.
AND ALSO, UH, OUTSTANDING BILLS.
I I THINK PROBABLY SOMETIMES MORE SERVICE.
YOU KNOW, I, I, I, I DON'T KNOW.
I DUNNO THAT IT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR NEXT YEAR THEN.
DO THEY BRING THEIR OWN TRUCK? THEY DO.
WHAT'S THE AUDIO EQUIPMENT THEN? WE HAVE A TRUCK THAT WE, WE DO, YEAH.
SO, BUT WE DO, WE DO THE LIGHTS, FOR EXAMPLE, ON WALL AND THE LIGHT.
WE STILL NEED A YOU'RE SAYING DECORATIVE? YEAH, WE STILL NEED, ARE THERE DECORATIVE LIGHTS IN THE YEAH.
SO THEN THE, THE, THE, THE HOLIDAY LIGHTS ARE INCLUDED.
THAT'S WHAT THE AUTO HERE IS DOING? YES.
SO IT IS USED, UH, TIME TO TIME.
THE OVERTIME LINE IS JUST A SET AMOUNT THAT YOU CALCULATED, IS IT? OR A GUESSTIMATE? IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVEN'T SPENT THAT MUCH IN MOST YEARS.
IS THAT, UM, WELL, IT'S, IT'S ALSO THAT'S MAINLY FOR, UH, LOCK CONTRACT THAT ARE FOR LARGE MAIN BREAK MAINTEN.
HAS THAT BEEN ALLOCATED SOMEWHERE ELSE? IT'S UNDER MAINTENANCE.
SO WHAT'S THE OVERTIME FOR THEN? IS THAT JUST, THAT'S FOR OUR OWN.
NO, I KNOW, BUT LIKE WHY? IT JUST SEEMS, IT SEEMS EITHER THAT WE'RE BUDGETED TOO MUCH OR THAT THE EXPENSE IS LOW.
ONE PERSONNEL WORKING THAT MONDAY.
WELL, WE HAVE, WE HAVE THIS ON DAY.
BUT, SO, SO WHAT I'M LOOKING AT IS THAT MAINTENANCE OF SEWERS IS OVER, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE CASE, BUT OVERTIME IS LOW.
SO IS, WAS THERE JUST NOT OVERTIME BECAUSE IT WAS DONE IN THE WORKDAY OR WAS THAT OVERTIME ALLOCATED SOMEWHERE ELSE? THERE JUST SEEMS TO BE NOT A CORRELATION BETWEEN MAINTENANCE OF
[01:20:01]
SEWERS AND OVERTIME.DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? MM-HMM
I, I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
THAT WITH THESE SEWER CRAIGS, WE WERE USING OUTSIDE BACK TO HELP ADDRESS THE SEWER SITUATION.
AND WE CAN TRY BACK IF THERE WAS OVERTIME THAT WAS ALLOTTED TO A DIFFERENT OVERTIME LINE.
BECAUSE, BUT I I, BUT IF IT'S, IF WE'RE USING OUTSIDE PEOPLE, THEN THERE SHOULD BE A LOWER AMOUNT FOR OVERTIME.
IN OVERTIME BECAUSE WE'RE NOT USING OUR OWN PEOPLE.
I THINK THAT CERTAIN THINGS MIGHT, USES OUR PEOPLE FOR CERTAIN THINGS, MIGHT NOT USE OUR OWN PEOPLE.
WELL, CAN YOU JUST LOOK AT THE OVERTIME LINES BECAUSE YEAH, IT SEEMS AS IF THAT AMOUNT IS TOO HIGH COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOWER IT FROM? I DON'T KNOW, LIKE AN AVERAGE.
DOES THAT SEEM FAIR TO EVERYONE? THERE'S ONE YEAR WHERE IT'S ABOVE THAT, BUT MM-HMM
AND THEN THE MAINTENANCE OF SEWERS, YOU'RE SAYING IS AN OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR COMBINATION.
THE OUTSIDE CONTRACT, OF COURSE.
DUMPING COSTS, INTERIOR COSTS, PIPE, THE MATERIAL COSTS, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, DIG A HOLE OR PIPE IT, LEAVE IT OVER DOWN.
I JUST, BUT OUR OWN STAFF ARE IN PERSONAL SERVICES.
SO I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MAINTENANCE OF SEWERS THAT WOULD BE LIKE BRINGING IN THE OUTSIDE CONTRACT.
IT ALSO INCLUDE MATERIALS FOR THE MATERIAL.
AND LIKE STUFF, SOMETIMES THEY HAVE TO REMOVE STUFF KNOW, LIKE, YEAH, REMOVE, THERE'S A, A LOT OF, UH, WE CLEAN THEM OUT.
I'M JUST, THIS, THIS IS SIMILAR TO MY OTHER QUESTION FROM ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE, BUT THE LAST ACTUAL FROM 2324 CAME UP TO 66.
AND THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR WE BUDGETED 40,000.
AND NOW THIS YEAR THE ACTUAL IS COMING OUT TO 60,000 SO FAR.
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BUDGET 45,000.
SO I'M WONDERING, ISN'T THAT MAINTENANCE NUMBER GONNA BE, SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO BE SOMEWHERE AROUND 60 IN THE, IN THE NEXT BUDGET OR SOME, I MEAN, NOT, NOT NECESSARILY.
'CAUSE YOU KNOW, ONE YEAR WE HAD 7,000.
I MEAN, THIS IS MAINLY FOR SEWER BREAKS, SO THEY'RE KIND OF HARD TO PICK SOMETIMES.
YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE ONE, BUT, SO THIS LINE IS ONLY, THIS IS ONLY, THIS IS ONLY NO.
RIGHT, BUT IT'S ONLY FOR EMERGENCIES VERSUS LIKE, YOU KNOW, REGULAR, ANY SANITARY LINE? WELL, I DON'T KNOW IT REGULAR, BUT REGULAR MAINTENANCE IS NOT ALWAYS AN EMERGENCY.
I THINK TO POINT, THAT'S WHAT I WAS JUST ASKING.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, I, I MEAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TIMING NO, WHAT YOU CALL BOXERS.
IT'S JUST MORE OF A REACTIVE LINE, PROACTIVE, YOU KNOW, 7 29 35, 1 YEAR WAS 66, NOW IT'S 59.
WE ENDED UP HAVING TWO BREAKS.
SOMETIMES THEY GET FIXED BY, UH, ACTUALLY I GUESS THEY ALWAYS ARE FIXED BY US.
DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE BREAK ELSE OR IF IT'S A COUNTY HOMES AFFECTED AND STUFF ELSE.
YOU CAN'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE OUT THE FACILITIES OVERNIGHT OR SOMETHING ELSE.
AND YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, LOCATION WE'VE BREAKS.
BUT THAT'S PROBABLY JUST, AND, AND I THINK ALSO IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE AS A VILLAGE HAVE FOCUSED MUCH MORE ON STORM DRAINS AND DRAINS MORE GENERALLY.
WE'VE PUT WAY MORE ENERGY AND MONEY AND EFFORT INTO EVALUATING THEM.
WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF CAMERA WITH EXACTLY.
FINDING THESE PROBLEMS. EXACTLY.
AND I, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, ONE OF, ONE OF THE BIG TAKEAWAYS FROM THE STORM, WHICH I KNOW IS NOT THE SAME AS SANITARY, BUT THE STORM STORM, THE FLOOD MAP, THE FLOOD FLOOD, UH, STUDY WAS THAT OUR STORM SEWER MAP DATED FROM 1935.
SO WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE WE'RE DISCOVERING A LOT OF THINGS AS WE UPDATE THAT, BUT THAT'S PART OF WHAT'S MAKING ME WONDER IF THIS 45,000 SHOULD BE UP A LITTLE BIT.
WELL, BUT THAT'S SANITARY SEWERS.
I THINK IF YOU WANNA LOOK AT STORM SEWERS, THEN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.
IT MEANS FOLLOW ON THIS CONCERN, 59,000.
IS THIS AN ACTUAL FEBRUARY? SO WE EXPECT MORE.
I THINK IT JUST GOES UP AND DOWN.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAVE, UH, A CONTINGENCY AS
[01:25:01]
WELL, WHICH COVERS THE CONTINGENCY COVERS THINGS THAT ARE UNEXPECTED IN THE YEAR.SO WOULD YOU SAY THAT 45,000 THAT THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD INCLUDE, YOU WANT TO CALL IT REGULAR MAINTENANCE VERSUS IN, IN ADDITION EMERGENCY? YES.
I MEAN IF YOU, I I, I DON'T THINK, YOU KNOW, IT WOULDN'T DO DO ANY HARM TO INCREASE THE NUMBER, INCREASE THE AMOUNT IF YOU WANTED.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW, IF, IF, IF WE GET LUCKY AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, THAT'S A WONDERFUL THING.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE HISTORIC WAYS WE HAVE BEEN INCREASING IT, HAVE INCREASED IT 5,000 LAST YEAR.
WE INCREASED ANOTHER 5,000 THIS YEAR.
SO, UM, AND AS MIKE SAID, WE'VE BEEN DOING, WE'VE BEEN USING, UM, UH, THIS, THE, UM, URBAN WATER.
THEY WILL, THEY COME AND THEY CAMERA OUR LINES FOR JOINED.
UH, AND BY BEING MEMBERS FOR DOLLARS, THEY'LL SEND SOMEBODY, YOU PROBABLY GET TO IT, UM, YOU 6, 6, 7 TIMES YEARS.
I THINK SCHEDULED FOR THIS YEAR.
SO, UM, I GUESS THAT HAS MAYBE, YOU KNOW, YOU FINDING IT'S ON A FEW SO FAR.
I YOU DON'T WANT SEE THE TAPES
I WAS GONNA SAY THAT BECAUSE THAT 45,000
AND THERE'S THAT, THAT COVERS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF HAVING A CONT THAT IT COVERS EXTRA, EXTRA THINGS.
AND YOU CAN SEE IF NEXT YEAR IT ENDS UP BEING TWO LEVEL, THEN YOU CAN ASK THE SAME QUESTION NEXT YEAR.
DEPENDING FOR OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR FOR THE WHOLE JOB, WORK, WORK.
JUST USE THE OUTSIDE AS POSSIBLE.
WE STILL USE OUR OWN PROFESS IT COULD BE A LOT MORE AS PERSONNELS.
AND AND SIMILARLY, THE UNDER STORM SEWERS, THE MAINTENANCE OF SEWERS, THAT LINE IS OUTSIDE NEL AGAIN.
AND OUR ENGINEER IS IN A TOTALLY SEPARATE LINE, NOT HERE.
AND, AND SOME OF THE MAINTENANCE OF SEWERS IS, IS OUR OWN PERSONNEL TOO.
LIKE THE, UM, YOU KNOW, REALLY BIG GOING DOWN THE FIRE.
WE HAVE A LINE FOR OUR OWN PERSONNEL IN ADDITION.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF MATERIAL.
BUT THIS HAS UP 10,000 IN MAINTENANCE.
THIS FOR, FOR, UM, SEW, IT'S GONE UP BY 10,000 THIS YEAR.
I DID INCREASE IT BECAUSE UM, WE JUST, WE, I THINK IT'S GOOD.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF CATCH BASIN WORK.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE A LOT OF DRAINAGE.
WE USING A LOT OF, SEE A LOT OF OUT EVERY ROCK, PUT ALL THAT.
AND IT JUST GOES STORM WATER, JUST CLEAN A LITTLE BIT MAINTENANCE, NOT MUCH OUT IT, BUT DOWN ALSO ON.
THAT WHERE PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE TO.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS NEXT SLIDE? NEXT SLIDE IS REFUSE AND RECYCLING.
SO, SO YOU'VE HAD SOME RETIREMENTS, WHICH EXPLAINS THE 37,000 RIGHT? REDUCTION THAT RETIREMENT, SORRY, THE 37,000 REDUCTION IS RETIREMENT.
AND CONTRACTUAL RECYCLING A REDUCTION IS, UM, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, IN THE MOST RECENT CONTRACT WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE THAT OUT CONTRACT.
AND SO THAT ONLY APPLIES TO SOME PEOPLE AS, AS PEOPLE RETIRE AND, AND WE GET NEW PERSONNEL IN.
THINGS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF RECYCLING A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
UM, THEN ON SUPPLIES YOUR, YOUR UNDERSPENDING, WHAT'S, WHAT, WHAT SUPPLIES, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA SPEND 2000 OR
[01:30:01]
IT'S LIKE A BIT OF AN UP AND DOWN.ANOTHER ORDER OF BARRELS, A GARBAGE BARREL TO BARRELS.
WHAT KIND OF BARRELS? THE GARBAGE BARRELS.
IS THE, IS FOOD FOOD WASTE RECYCLING INCLUDED IN THIS SECTION OR SOMEWHERE ELSE? IT IS.
UH, ORGANIC, ORGANIC RECYCLING.
WHY IS THAT GOING UP? 'CAUSE WE HAVE TO BUY A LOT OF, DIDN'T WE HAVE TO BUY A LOT OF EXTRA CONTAINERS LAST YEAR? WELL, I THINK WE, UM, WE, WE, WE ACTUALLY HAD A LOT OF DEBRIS THAT WE HAD TO RID OF CONNECTION WITH THE, UM, YEAH.
MTA, THE DRAINING BE CLEANING UP THE CATCH BASINS AND YES.
WHEN MTA ASKED US TO MOVE, WE GET ALL THAT STUFF.
SO WE'VE HAD, UH, THAT'S COST US TO GET RID TO PAY YOUNG KIDS.
I THINK YOU'RE GOING UP 30 TO 30,000 NEXT YEAR.
IS THAT A CONTRACTUAL THING? WHAT IS THAT? UH, ON THE ORGANIC BOOK, 2030.
THEY, THEY THEY, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THE COST OF DROPPING THE STUFF OFF HAS GONE UP.
AND BECAUSE WE'RE ALSO HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF MATERIAL.
WE CLEANING CATCH BASINS NOW A LOT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF CATCH BASINS EVERY HERE WE HAVE TO GET RID OF ALL MATERIAL THAT WE, I THINK PEOPLE WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW THE COST OF THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS.
SO LIKE BOOTS, SCRAP, RECYCLING, WHETHER THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE DOING FOOD SCRAP RECYCLING ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY, IS THAT HELPING? IT SHOULD HELP BECAUSE IT WOULD BE LESS STUFF THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN AWAY.
I THINK SOME PEOPLE ONLY BRING DOWN BONES AND THINGS THAT ARE NOT GOOD TO RECYCLE IN THEIR OWN PLACE AND, YOU KNOW, KEEP THEIR, THEIR GRASS AND THEIR LEAVES TO RECYCLE IN PLACE.
BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A POINT WHERE YOU CAN, WE'RE COMING OUT FOR MONTH.
MAYBE YOU CAN DO A LITTLE PRESENTATION ON, ON THOSE COSTS AND THE, THE AMOUNT THAT WE TIME, I THINK ACTUALLY IT'S A MILLION DOLLARS.
I THINK IT'D BE VERY ALSO HOW THEY CAN HELP, YOU KNOW, UHHUH.
LIKE IF PEOPLE, IF MORE PEOPLE RECYCLE THEIR LEAVES IN PLACE, DOES THAT HELP? IF MORE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, MOW THEIR LEAVES INTO THEIR LAWNS, DOES THAT HELP? DOES THAT, WILL THAT REDUCE THE COST? IF PEOPLE SEE THAT THERE'S A QUANTITATIVE BENEFIT FROM DOING SOME OF THOSE THINGS, MAYBE THEY WOULD DO IT MORE AND MAYBE WE CAN GET THE TILLY SHED TO EXPLAIN, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH STUFF GETS RECYCLED THAT WAY SO THAT IT DOESN'T GO INTO THE WASTE STREAM.
BASICALLY WHATEVER STOPS THINGS BEING IN THE WASTE STREAM ENDS UP BEING A BENEFIT.
I THINK ANSWER, YOU GIVE ME THIS DATA PRETTY MUCH EVERY YEAR FOR THE CLIMATE SMART COMMUNITY ANNUAL REPORT.
UM, I, I PULL IT FROM OUR BILLS.
SO I THINK IT'S QUITE INTERESTING.
UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THIS SECTION? ANYONE? UH, THE, OKAY.
BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF STREET CLEANING DRAMA.
THIS SEEMS LIKE A, SEEMS PRETTY GOOD WHAT IT SEEMS TO, YEAH, THIS IS, I'M JUST ONE, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT SECTIONS.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STREET CLEANING AND THE OTHER ONE THAT WE SAW.
MAINTENANCE, I GUESS MAINTENANCE, STREET MAINTENANCE.
I THINK THAT'S MAINTAIN, THAT'S LITERALLY INFRASTRUCTURE OF POTHOLES.
AND THIS IS SENDING THE CHAP AROUND WITH A MACHINE TO CLEAN.
WE WENT PAST MY HOUSE THE OTHER DAY, OR AT LEAST ON MOUNT HOPE LEAVING IT.
AND THEN THERE WAS A MASSIVE WOMEN'S STORM AND I JUST FELT TERRIBLE FIT HIM.
ALL THE LEAVES WENT LIKE BACK TO WHERE HE HAD MOVED.
IT DIDN'T, I DIDN'T, HE WASN'T AROUND SWEEPING.
HE WAS, HE DID HIS AREA BOTTLE.
AH, BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BOTTLES AND YOU GO LOOSE, GRAVEL PUT, OH, SO HE WAS GETTING RID OF THE GRAPPLING BREAKS UP.
HE SEND A SWEEPER OUT FIRST INTO THE LOCATION WE BOTTLE.
[01:35:01]
SERVICE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO SPEND TIME.OH NO, THAT'S A GOOD WAY OF DOING IT.
THAT'S ONE OF THE PLACES I, THAT WAS ONE OF THE PLACES I WAS TELLING, GONNA TELL YOU THAT THEY WERE, WE'RE GONNA START SWEEPING SCHEDULE OUR STORM WATER.
IT'S PROBABLY GONNA START APRIL, YOU KNOW, USE IT TO SPRING CLEAN.
I ALWAYS DID SPRING CLEAN BEFORE THAT RECYCLING.
IT'S GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, THE OVERTIME IT'S GONNA BE UP, USED TO DO IT LIKE TWO TIMES A WEEK MYSELF.
YEAH, IT DOES COVER THE COST BECAUSE I HAVE TO HAVE, RIGHT NOW IT'S THREE GUYS.
WE DON'T HAVE ONE GUY TO USE THE PARTICULAR MACHINE YARD AREAS WINTER ON REGULAR BASIS.
UM, UNDER DISCRETE CLEANING, UNDER REFUSE RE REMOVAL, THE, THERE'S NOT BEEN MUCH THAT'S BEEN SPENT IN THE LAST YEAR OF ACTUALS WAS 4,000.
THE WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT LINE FOR SWEEP SWEEPING CONTAINERS BETWEEN CONTAINERS.
NOT JUST, IF IT'S CLEAN LEAVES GOES TO THE, THIS IS ALL DIRT.
THE FIRST THAT WILL, WILL START THIS.
SO MEANING IT'S AN OUTSIDE VEN CONTAINER? YES.
IS WHAT WE'RE PAYING FOR OUT OF THE 50,000.
AND YOU THINK THIS IS JUST GONNA GO UP BECAUSE WE'LL BEGINNING THAT PROCESS NOW? YES.
AND WE'LL USE THE 15,000 NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN SHADE TREES, CAPITAL OUTLAY IS VERY LOW COMPARED TO THE BUDGET AMOUNT.
AND WE'RE GONNA SPRING AND THE ARBORIST, THE QUARRY PARK LANDSCAPING SERVICES IS LOW BECAUSE WE STILL HAVEN'T SPRING ALSO SPRING.
AND WE DID, UH, RETAIN AN ARBORIST EXCAVATION, UH, A RE GRANT FOR HILLSIDE WOODS THAT WE'RE PREPARING.
AND WHERE WHERE WILL THAT AIST GO? HERE? OH, UNDER QUARRY CAR.
OH, YOU SAID QUAR? WELL, IT'S ARBORIST SLASH QUARRY PARK.
ALL ALL ARBORIST TYPE SERVICES, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE.
IS THAT THE, IS THAT A PARTICULAR FIRM THAT WE USE FOR CORY PARK? IT'S DIFFERENT.
WHY SHADE TREES IS DU VERSUS THE PET? WE'VE ASKED THIS EVERY SINGLE OH, DO.
AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE YEAH, IT'S, IT'S RELATED TO DEBT AND THEY HAVE MACHINES THAT MOVE UP.
I WAS JUST WONDERING ABOUT LIKE THE DECISION MAKING IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE SHEA TREES.
UM, THAT THAT'S USUALLY COMES IT HAD THE GROUP EFFORT USUALLY PARKS MYSELF.
SOMETIMES OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THOUGHTS AND IDEAS OF COMBINATION OF, OF THREAT.
THERE'S, BUT IT'S ABOUT THE DIRT.
I THINK IT'S COMMENT TRADITION.
UM, AND WE REMEMBER WHEN AARON WAS HERE, WE ASKED HIM THAT QUESTION ABOUT THE WHY.
BUT THE LANDSCAPE, THE, THE, THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACT IS MANAGED BY THE VILLAGE MANAGER.
IT'S ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE MANAGED, I THINK BY THE PARK SUPERINTENDENT, BUT IT'S A JOINT.
[01:40:01]
OKAY.WE ALL ARE, WE ALL HAVE SOME INVOLVED PROCESS.
MAYBE REPORTS AND DO SOME BOTTLE.
WELL IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY DO THEIR FIELDS AND, AND, UH, KNOW THEY DO, THEY LANDSCAPE DOES ALL THE PARKS, ALL THE MOWING, TRIMMING PARKS.
A LOT OF IT, A LOT OF WORK RELATED TO THAT.
THE DOWNTOWN STUFF, LESS PARKS.
BUT, UM, WE DO ACTUALLY HAVE A URBAN PERSON HERE THAT, UM, WILL OVERSEE ONLY, NOT ONLY SOME PARKS, BUT ALSO I THINK THAT'S IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE USEFUL INFORMATION AND ALL THE GREAT BACKUP MATERIAL.
AND FOR ALL THE WORK ALL OF YOUR TEAM DOES.
EVERY TIME THERE'S A STORM, WE'RE ALL GRATEFUL EVERY TIME THAT OF A, A SNOW STORM OR A A, UH, YOU KNOW, A HURRICANE OR WHATEVER, GOD FORBID, WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE SUPPORT THAT YOU GUYS PROVIDE.
DID YOU WANNA DO SPECIAL, SPECIAL ITEMS? THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT SURE HAVE LEFT.
WHAT ABOUT VILLAGE? WE'VE DONE THAT.
THAT OH, DID I LAST TIME? NO, WE DID IT LAST.
OH, WE DID CLERK AND TREASURE AT THE BEGINNING.
OH, WE HAD SCHEDULE TREASURER AND WE DID VILLAGE MANAGER LAST.
UH, IT WAS VERY EXCITING LAST WEEK.
I HAD SO MANY BURNING QUESTIONS FOR YOU, ANTHONY.
I THINK IT'S PAGE, IT'S ON PAGE THREE.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, INSURANCE IS NOT GOING UP VERY MUCH HERE.
WE REALLY NICE, PRETTY, UH, YOU KNOW, PRIOR YEARS.
SO, UH, LESS, UM, ASSOCIATION DUES IS, YOU KNOW, THERE VARIOUS AGENT, VARIOUS GROUPS.
WE BELONG TO EQUITY AND THAT
EVERYBODY, ALL, YOU ALL HAVE ACCESS TO IT.
LOTS OF S RELATED QUESTION, UH, JUDGEMENTS AND CLAIMS. WE, WE USUALLY CONTACT OUR, UM, OUR ATTORNEYS WITH REGARD TO THAT.
UH, PARTICULARLY, YOU KNOW, UM, OUR, OUR, UH, SURGEON AND, AND SMALL LIKE THAT WE HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE PRETTY WELL IN THAT.
WE, BUT, UM, THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE ESTIMATED NUMBER THAT HE PROVIDES TO, AND YOU CAN SEE IT VARIES, UH, TAXES ON VILLAGE OWNED PROPERTY.
UM, WE, WE THINK WE UH, UH, OVER OVERESTIMATED HOW LOW IT WAS GOING TO GO.
AND SO WE, UM, WE MADE, WE'VE MADE A CORRECTION THIS YEAR VERSUS LAST YEAR.
BUT IT'S STILL LESS THAN WHAT IT WAS BEFORE THAT.
WHY DID IT, WHY WAS THIS? IS THIS BECAUSE WE, WE, WE, WHAT WE DID IS WE, WE, WE, UM, ATTACKED THE ASSESSOR IN GREENBERG AND WE TOOK CERTAIN THINGS WERE ON THE TAX ROLL THAT CAME OFF THE TAX ROLL.
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO PAY THE COUNTY SUIT.
SO THAT'S THE, SO IS IT 25,000 COUNT FOR THE COUNTY TAX? YES.
IS THERE A WAY TO BREAK DOWN THE, THE PREVIOUS EXPENSE AMOUNT TO SEE, SEE WHETHER WHICH PROPERTIES ASSOCIATE YOU'VE DONE? IS THAT WHAT THE 25 IS? YEAH.
SO THE LAST SET OF ACTUALS WAS 37 AND WE THINK IT'S GONNA GO DOWN TO 25 AS OPPOSED TO DOWN TO SEVEN.
AND DO WE THINK IT'S GONNA, SO WE THINK THAT THE 6,000 IS AN UNDERESTIMATE.
THE SIX CALENDAR IS THE CALENDAR EVERY MONTH.
JUST JUST BEFORE YOU, JUST THE ETPA, JUST FOR YOU GUYS TO REMEMBER IS THE HOUSING THE MONEY THAT WE ISN'T THAT E THE COHOUSING? EXACTLY.
SO WE PAY A LITTLE PORTION IN FOR THAT.
[01:45:03]
RIGHT.WE, WE ARE ABLE TO FILL OUT ADMINISTRATION FEE TO THE, UM, PROPERTY OWNERS.
UM, THE CALENDAR, EVERYONE IN THE VILLAGE LOVES.
I STILL GET CALLS IN, YOU KNOW, MID-DECEMBER AS TO WHEN, WHEN IT'S GOING TO ARRIVE IN THEIR MAILBOX.
SO I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO CUT THAT OUT.
UM, UH, AND IT'S, IT'S FUN TOO BECAUSE IT'S GOT ALWAYS HAS A REALLY COVER PICTURE AND HAS A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT THE VILLAGE.
YOU SHOULD, I MEAN, I DON'T IT'S JEN.
YEAH, I WOULDN'T WANTED TO SAY THAT.
JEN CORSO REALLY IS THE ONE THAT ALL TOGETHER.
AND SHE HAS THE CAT
UH, THE EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST A PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES IF THEY SHOULD NEED ANYTHING.
AND WE ALSO IN THAT LINE, IF WE, UH, DO, UM, ANTI-BIAS TRAINING OR ADDITIONAL TRAININGS, UM, IMPLICIT BIAS TRAINING CONTINGENCY.
I LEFT AT WHAT IT HAD BEEN AT, UH, IN THE PRIOR YEAR.
AND THAT QUESTION CAN I ASK YOU ONE QUESTION? I'M REALLY SORRY.
UH, IT POPPED UP AND THEN IT WENT OUTTA MY HEAD AND IT POPPED BACK IN ON, UH, WHICH UNDER SANITARY SEWER, THE RENTAL OF LAND.
AND THEN THERE'S A RENTAL OF LAND FOR 20 YES.
SEWER CROSSINGS OVER THE AQUEDUCT.
THE STATE CHARGES US EVERY YEAR.
ISN'T THAT THE, THAT THAT'S THE PARKING, THE FEE FOR THE PARK THAT WE GET.
THE AQUEDUCT PARKING IS A DOLLAR.
LET'S THE, THE, A PARKING LOT.
I DON'T THINK WE, I DON'T THINK WE PAY ON THAT PART.
YOU DO BECAUSE YOU SENT IT TO ME.
DID YOU WANT TO DO EMPLOYEE BENEFITS? YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES? SURE.
CAN I ASK ONE, TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT TREASURER AND UM, SORRY, I KNOW THAT I MISSED THAT, BUT I APOLOGIZE.
AGAIN, ADVERTISING, YOU GUYS PROBABLY ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS, BUT YOU'RE HOLDING 9,000 BUT IT SEEMS LIKE OVER THE YEARS IT'S AVERAGED MORE LIKE 4,500.
IS ARE YOU JUST HOLDING THAT JUST SAFE? UM, THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE MOVE TO THE JOURNAL NEWS AS OPPOSED TO RIVER TIMES ENTERPRISE.
I'M HOPING THAT IN TWO BUDGET CYCLES, THIS WILL GO DOWN WHEN THE DISPATCH IS HOPEFULLY ABLE TO POST.
AND THEN, UM, THE AUDIT SERVICES, YOU'RE HOLDING 45, BUT HE GAVE A QUOTE OF 35 TO 40 IN, IN THE, BECAUSE WE ANTICIPATE GOING TO BOND AND WE HAVE, UH, SO THIS IS ADDITIONAL, IT'S DIFFERENT.
IT'S A COST FOR CAPITAL MARKETS WHO HELPS US AND ALSO OUR ATTORNEY.
WE HAVE SPECIAL COUNCIL THAT, WELL THAT'S JUST THE AUDIT SERVICE, BUT THEY STILL NEED AUDIT.
THE AUDIT SERVICE IS, IS ONE THING, BUT CAPITAL MARKETS WILL FOCUS WITH OUR BOND.
THEY, I THINK HE'S ASKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT LINE THERE.
BUT SO THE AUDIT SERVICE LINE AT 45,001 50 WHEN IT JUST WENT UP.
WELL, IN THE LETTER THAT HE SENT TO YOU, THAT INCLUDED, HE WAS ESTIMATING 35 AND THEN 40 WITH AN AUDIT.
I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT ELSE, WHAT ELSE? AND THIS ALSO INCLUDES, UM, WHICH I MUST NOT HAVE INCLUDED.
IT INCLUDES LIKE DAN ZI, MARKOFF FOR GS B PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR, FOR THE AUDIT.
SO THERE ARE SOME ACTUARIAL THINGS THAT GO INTO IT.
UM, THAT IT'S A, IT'S A MIX BETWEEN.
BUT THE OTHER ONE DOWN HERE, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE LINE, IS THAT THE ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? THE YEAH.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AT 30 IS THE ONE WHICH IS THE ANTICIPATION OF THE BAND.
BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE TO USE THE CAPITAL MARKET SERVICE SERVICES PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, CAPITAL MARKETS PEOPLE.
THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE COURT AUDIT.
THAT'S BUT ISN'T THE COURT AUDIT IN THE COURT LINE? NO, NO.
WE, THAT COMES OUT OF THIS LINE AS WELL.
THAT'S WHY IT'S WHERE IT'S OKAY IN PAYROLL SERVICES IS JUST GOING UP AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.
PAYROLL, PAYROLL SERVICES IS THE VENDOR AND IT'S THE, IT'S A DOLLAR AMOUNT PER CHECK CUT, WHETHER IT'S AN ACTUAL CHECK OR UM, A DIRECT DEPOSIT.
AND SO IT FLUCTUATES, BUT WE ADDED SERVICE.
[01:50:01]
WE HAVE AN ENHANCED HR THING.SO NOW ALL EMPLOYEES, WHICH I MEAN SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE THROUGH A DP, UM, WHERE YOU SEND YOUR INFORMATION ONLINE.
I KNOW TRUST CERTAINLY DID IT.
I REMEMBER SENDING YOU THE LINK FOR IT.
SO IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING TO GET LESS PAPER AND MORE DIGITAL.
DO YOU WANT TO ASK ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, YOU CAN ASK THE MANAGER.
THINK WE GOOD? BUT YOU WANTED TO GO OVER ONE OF THOSE? OH YES.
OR DID YOU WANT TO, I GUESS WE, IT'S UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS OR YOU WANT DO WE CAN PROBABLY, YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO LONG.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH BUT DRY, IT'S ON PAGE 14 AND IT IS THE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.
WE HAVE OUR FIRE SERVICE AWARD.
WE CAN CRY AND WE CAN MOAN, BUT WE CAN'T REALLY ANYTHING ABOUT, IT'S, IT'S CALLED WHAT KIND OF BENEFITS? EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.
UH, THE FIRE SERVICE AWARD IS A, A SMALL, UM, PENSION FUND FOR THE, OUR VOLUNTEER, UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT.
UM, THAT THAT'S, THEY GIVE US THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY GIVE US THE ESTIMATE COST FOR NEXT YEAR.
UM, POLICE, RETIREMENT AND, AND REGULAR RETIREMENT.
RETIREMENT OF NON NON-LEASE EMPLOYEES, UH, IS A NUMBER THAT WE GET DIRECTLY FROM THE, UM, OFFICE OF THE STATE COMPTROLLER.
SOCIAL SECURITY WE COMPUTE BASED ON OUR PAYROLL.
UH, SAME WITH MTA TAX WORKERS' COMPENSATION IS A NUMBER THAT WE GET FROM OUR INSURANCE COMPANY.
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE IS, WE JUST PUT A LITTLE HOLDER IN THERE 'CAUSE WE, WE DON'T REALLY EVER, MOSTLY DON'T NEED UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.
AND THEN HEALTH INSURANCE, UH, WE ACTUALLY WENT DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
UH, UH, ONE OF OUR, UH, DON UH, DID A LOT OF, UH, HARD WORK TO, YOU KNOW, REALLY CRUNCH THE NUMBERS AND WAS ABLE TO DOWN.
SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE, UH, PAVING IN THE BUDGET.
SO THAT'S A GREAT SAVINGS THOUGH.
AND IS THE, IS THE SAVINGS, UM, WELL WE CAN DISCUSS IT AT ANOTHER TIME, BUT I WAS JUST, I'LL ASK YOU ABOUT THIS SAVINGS ANOTHER TIME.
AND, UM, THE, WE ARE GOING TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR THIS SESSION.
SO IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION? NOT TO RETURN TO RETURN.
