[Board of Trustees Budget Work Session on March 13, 2025. ]
[00:00:23]
WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE HA VILLAGE OF HASTINGS ON HUDSON YORK, BOARD OF TRUSTEES BUDGET WORK SESSION THURSDAY, FOUR.
THURSDAY, MARCH 13TH, TUESDAY.
UM, PLEASE STAND PLEDGE I ALLEGIANCE TO APPLY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE REPUBLIC NATION UNDER JUSTICE.
UM, CHIEF AND LIEUTENANT, WELCOME.
UM, AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING ABOUT YOUR BUDGET, WHICH I THINK IS ON PAGE FOUR.
NEIL, I KNOW THAT EVERYONE HAS LOTS OF, UH, OBLIGATIONS THIS EVENING, SO IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU PARTICULARLY WANT TO FLAG FOR US, MAYBE FLAG THOSE AND I THINK EVERYONE'S HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE DETAILS.
SOME OF THE, I KNOW SO MUCH OF YOUR BUDGET IS CONTRACTUAL, SO MAYBE WE SHOULD FOCUS ON THE STUFF THAT'S DISCRETIONARY.
WHERE, UM, YOU CAN, AND, AND FEEL FREE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO US THAT YOU FEEL WE SHOULD KNOW.
SO THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL BUDGET PRESENTATION FOR ME BECAUSE I USUALLY LIKE TO GO INTO DETAIL.
SINCE WE ARE THE LARGEST PORTION OF THE VILLAGE BUDGET.
UM, BUT FOR THOSE ON THE BOARD WHO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UM, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME NOW, ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
LIKE THE MAYOR JUST SAID, A LOT OF THE, UH, LINES IN THIS BUDGET ARE FACTUAL, SO WE REALLY HAVE NO EXPRESSION OF HOW THEY END UP.
UH, BUT, UM, EVERYTHING ELSE IS, YOU KNOW, THE VILLAGE MANAGER, UH, MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND WE HAVE DISCUSSED THEM AND WENT THROUGH THEM AND WE HAVE NO ISSUES WITH ANYTHING.
UM, I THINK THE EASIEST THING TO DO TONIGHT IS JUST PICK YOUR QUESTION.
WE CAN, UH, MOVE ALONG BECAUSE I, I KNOW, UH, THIS IS, UH, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, BUT I DO, THERE, THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT ARE NOT IN THE OPERATING BUDGET AND THE CAPITAL BUDGET THAT I'D JUST LIKE TO FLAG FOR YOU.
UH, IF THAT'S OKAY, WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? UH, AND JUST IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS SURE.
SO, SO THE, I I JUST WANT TO, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LINE ITEMS WHERE, AND THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS, THE AMOUNT IS LOW, BUT JUST FLAG FOR THE TRUSTEES.
UM, SO FOR EXAMPLE, SICK IS ONE OF THEM WHERE YOU SEE THAT THE BUDGET LINE ITEM IS 20,000, BUT IT'S, UM, IT'S, IT'S AT 3,900 AND WHAT THE VILLAGE MANAGER LOOKS LIKE, VILLAGE MANAGER IS, THAT IS, IS REDUCED THAT BY 10,000 BECAUSE WE KNOW THE AMOUNT WILL END UP BEING LOWER.
SO I THINK THAT THAT'S LIKE THE, THE BEST ESTIMATE OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY GONNA HAPPEN.
AND I THINK YOUR BUDGET IS, IF EVERY SINGLE PERSON GETS IT, THAT'S SORT OF THE WAY THAT IT'S DRAFTED.
IS THAT RIGHT? OR MAYBE YOU CAN EXPLAIN THAT.
YEAH, SO I CAN EXPLAIN, UH, RATHER BRIEFLY.
UM, SO WE HAVE A SICK BONUS PROGRAM WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT AND THE OFFICERS, THEY DON'T, UM, FALL IN SICK.
THEY HAVE A CHOICE OF GETTING FOUR DAYS OF BONUS PAY OR FOUR DAYS, THREE DAYS, THREE DAYS FOR 12 UM, HOURS.
THEY GET THREE, UH, UH, EXTRA PAY DAYS OR THEY GET THREE VACATION.
SO I HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, GUESSTIMATE ON WHO'S GONNA TAKE IT IN TIME OR WHO'S GONNA TAKE IT IN MONEY.
AND IT'S OFTEN HARD, VERY DIFFICULT TO DO.
UM, SO A LOT FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, YOU COULD SEE THAT A LOT OF THE YOUNG OFFICERS NOW THAT WE HAVE
SO A LOT OF THEM HAVE BEEN TAKING IT IN TIME.
[00:05:03]
REALLY NICE TO SAY THAT NO ONE ABUSES OUR SICK OUT THE PROGRAM.IT'S IF THEY CALL IN SICK ONCE THEY GET TWO DAYS, AND THEN IF THEY CALL IN SICK TIMES, GET DAY AFTER THAT BONUS PROGRAM, IT'S GET A CHOICE OF PRIDE AND TIME.
THE VALUE OF, APART FROM NOT HAVING TO MAKE A PAYOUT, BUT THE VALUE OF TIME IS THAT, UH, EVERYONE IS GETTING RESTED AND EVERYONE ENDS UP BEING HEALTHY AND ET CETERA.
IS THAT, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE FINDING THAT THERE'S A MORALE BENEFIT FROM THAT? YEAH, THE, THE OFFICERS TEND TO, LIKE THE YOUNGER OFFICERS TEND TO LIKE WHO WOULD
WHO WOULD, SO, UM, IT DOESN'T HAVE A PLACE IN HERE FOR YOU KEEPING TRACK OF DAYS A YEAR.
LIKE HOW MANY PEOPLE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT? OH YEAH, WE HAVE A WHOLE LIST.
UM, I PRESENTED TO, UM, DON EVERY YEAR AND, AND WE CAN TELL YOU, JUST TELL BY THE AMOUNT THAT NOT EVERYONE YEAH, I HAVE ALL HAVE TO SO WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION? YOUR QUESTION IS ABOUT YEAH, THOSE, NO, JUST THAT THEY'RE TRACKING DAYS OFF.
OH, I TRACK EVERYTHING MIGHT BE WORTH NO.
BUT YOU, YEAH, I HAVE A, I HAVE A SPREADSHEET THAT TRACKS ALL THEIR VACATION OR PERSONAL HOLIDAYS EVERY TIME THEY TAKE OFF DO PAYROLL.
ANOTHER ITEM WHICH WE FEEL QUITE STRONGLY ABOUT, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE ZERO AT THE MOMENT, IS TUITION REIMBURSEMENT.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL SUPPORTED OVER THE YEARS.
SO EVEN THOUGH THE EXPENDITURE IS NOT SO HIGH ON THAT LINE ITEM, I THINK IT WAS ONLY THOUSAND DOLLARS INSTEAD OF 5,000.
I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THAT LINE ITEM MAY BE THERE AND THAT IT'S AVAILABLE.
WELL THAT'S A, THAT IS A, THAT'S, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYBODY BUT REASON, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S YEARS WHERE PEOPLE FIGHT FOR IT AND THEN THERE'S YEARS WHERE PEOPLE DON'T USE IT.
SO I, I DON'T HAVE, I THINK THEY'RE NOT DOING A CALL.
NOT MOST OF THE TRAINING YOU PROVIDE IS FREE.
A LOT OF THE TRAINING NOW IS FREE.
WHAT'S, SORRY? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TUITION REIMBURSEMENT? SO YES, TUITION REIMBURSEMENT IS MORE COLLEGE SPECIALIST DEVELOPMENT.
UM, THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS NOT A CONTRACT LINE, BUT, UH, I, I LIKE, WE WERE SUCH A YOUNG FORCE REALLY MONEY LEFT WE TRAINING, WHICH, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, HARD TO SAY COST MONEY, BUT I, I HAVE A, YOU KNOW, YOUNG FORCE THAT WE HAVE HERE.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND EVEN WITH AN OLD FORCE.
UM, YEAH, CHIEF, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE DETAIL.
UM, BUT TWO QUESTIONS I DIDN'T REALLY, I MEAN, I KNOW THERE'S A WHOLE STORY HERE, BUT I JUST LIKE TO UNDERSTAND IT AGAIN.
I KNOW WE'VE PROBABLY GONE OVER IT.
THE, UM, SEPARATION PAYOUT NUMBER WAS ZEROED OUT IN THE MANAGER'S BUDGET.
SO I, I JUST WONDER IS THAT MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE OR LIKE, JUST REMIND ME OF WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO AND THEN THE SAME WITH THE CAPITAL OUTLET, LIKE JUST SIMILAR CONVERSATION ABOUT IT.
SO IT'S JUST ONE DEDICATED FUND.
CAPITAL OUTLAY WOULD BE OKAY, BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.
AND THEN, UM, NO, I GUESS THAT'S IT FOR THIS ONE.
UNIFORMS ARE ALSO, UH, THE PDA CUT,
[00:10:01]
UM, OR NO? WELL, SOME OF IT IS YES.SO, UM, THERE'S TWO OFFICERS ENTITLED TO USE IT.
$990, 9 50, 9 $50 THAT FOR 20 OFFICERS.
THAT'S, BUT WHEN WE HIRE NEW OFFICERS, WE HAVE TO, UM, BUDGET TO PAY, PAY FOR THEIR UNIFORMS IT'S IN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UM, I'M JUST SURPRISED VERY MUCH HOW THAT, SORRY, I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA SAY THAT.
SO WE ARE PAIRED WITH AN ANSWER.
SO, UH, WE DO HAVE SOME EVENTS COMING UP THAT WILL, THAT MONEY WILL BE USED.
WE ALWAYS DO A YEAR AT THE END, END YEAR BARBECUE FOR THE KIDS.
AND WE ALSO, UM, GETTING A DODGE BALL.
I BELIEVE IT'S TOURNAMENT THE MIDDLE.
SO WE DO HAVE SOME EVENTS COMING.
I THINK WE DO ICE CREAM EVENTS.
YEAH, WE HAVE THAT, BUT MAYBE THAT'S YEAH, IT'S A LITTLE COLD YET FOR THAT.
WE GREET THE INCOMING FRESHMEN ICE CREAM.
WERE THERE ANY OTHER IT I WAS GONNA ASK YOU ABOUT? NO, I DON'T WANNA YOU
UM, OKAY, MOVING ON TO THE NEXT PAGE.
YOUR, UM, YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE GOING, I HAVE IT ON PAGE, SO IF YOU'RE, YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THE JAIL, THIS ISN'T REALLY UPDATED PURCHASE ONLY ACTUALLY THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING.
UM, FOR SOME, WHAT, WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, UH, LEASE MATRON LINE HASN'T BEEN RIGHT.
USED, BUT WE HAD, YOU KNOW, PRISONERS DUNNO, MAYBE DON, I OFTEN SPEAK WITH DON.
AND THE, UH, PRISONER FOOD HAVE THAT, THAT HAS BEEN USED AS WELL, BUT, UM, BEEN INFORMED THAT THAT CONSIDER THE WHAT? UM, WE OFTENTIMES SINCE IT'S UM, WE DON'T HAVE CHECKS TO CUT THE OFFICES WILL GO PURCHASE FOOD SLICES OR YEAH.
UM, A DINER AND SO IT'S PETTY CASH REIMBURSEMENT AND THAT STILL, OH, I, I PULL THAT UP ONCE A YEAR.
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO REIMBURSE, REIMBURSE, BUT MAYBE IT'S WORTH DOING THAT RIGHT BEFORE BUDGET GET EMBEDDED.
I CAN, I I CAN ALSO PULL THAT UP.
YEAH, IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR ME JUST WITH THE DRAWING, THE WAY WE RUN IT TO DO ONE CHECK ONCE A YEAR.
SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT, BUT I CAN CERTAINLY PULL EDIT.
OTHER ONES NOT ONES THAT, UM, WELL THE PARKING METER STATION IS A LITTLE BIT OVER BUDGET WE THOUGHT, I THINK WE THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING DOWN BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN SYSTEM SYSTEM.
THE STATION, THAT LINE COVERS REPAIRS AND SERVICE.
WE'VE HAD SOME REPAIRS THIS YEAR, BUT WE THINK WE'RE OKAY AT 15,000.
THAT'S, I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT PARKING METERS STATION GOING, JUST LOOKING BACK AT ACTUALS, GOING BACK THE LAST FIVE YEARS, IT DOESN'T REALLY LOOK LIKE WE'RE ACTUALLY SAVING MONEY BY MOVING FROM METERS.
WOULD THAT BE AN ACCURATE STATEMENT? UH, THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE IS GOING UP.
SO, UH, THE EXPENDITURES MAY BE GOING UP BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR DATA SERVICES EACH ONE EVERY TIME WE ADD ONE COST.
BUT OVERALL THE REVENUE IS GOING AND THAT'S
[00:15:01]
ALL.AND THE WAY I PERSONALLY LOOK AT IT IS THAT EVERY DOLLAR A PARKING GOES AGAINST PATENT.
SO THE MORE MONEY WE GET IN MARKET OFFSET THE OKAY.
I GUESS I WAS ASKING A MORE MUNDANE QUESTION, WHICH IS THE OLD, THE CLOCK STYLE PARKING METERS.
I KNOW THEY WERE BECOMING, THEY WERE BREAKING MORE PROFIT.
BUT WHEN I JUST LOOK AT THE SORT OF DOLLAR COST OF, I KNOW WE'RE STILL MAINTAINING A FEW OF THOSE, BUT MOST OF THIS NOW IS GOING TO ELECTRONIC PASTING.
SO, WHICH BY THE WAY TAKES THE COIN THOUGH YEARS WHEN RIGHT.
AND WOULD NOT LET ANYBODY PUT A DOLLAR BILL IN CREDIT CARD.
WE WE'RE OFFERING MORE FUNCTIONALITY TO HELP WITH AND WE'LL ALSO HAVE THE ACT AS WELL.
THE NOTE GOT AN EMAIL THAT THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE PARKING METER DATA SERVICE AND PARK MOBILE HAVE MERCK.
THOSE WE'RE GONNA SEE IF THAT THIS PRODUCES A BETTER, UH, REGARDLESS IT'S BRINGING IN REVENUE.
ONE IS THAT I WANTED TO MAKE THIS AND TO SAY THAT I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT CAME IN TO BOARD A FORMAL MEETING AND GIVE US AN UPDATE.
REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE DOING THE REINVENTION THING, YOU WOULD COME IN EVERY SIX MONTHS AND, AND TELL US, YOU KNOW, GIVE US SOME STATISTICS ON PRIME, WHICH SEEMS TO GO DOWN FROM YEAR TO YEAR, WHICH IS KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU AND UH, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING ELSE.
BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD DO THAT WOULD TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE GREAT PROGRAMS THAT YOU OFFER THE PAL PROGRAM AND OTHERS.
SO WHEN WE'RE AT A TIME, WHICH IS I KNOW MAYBE IN MAY OR JUNE OR SOMETHING, I'LL START PUTTING IT TOGETHER.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU WOULD DO THAT.
AND THEN, AND THEN THE SECOND THING IS THE CAPITAL, UH, REQUEST THAT YOU WANTED TO YEAH.
SO I, I KNOW WE'RE IN IN TIME, SO I I'M JUST GONNA BE QUICK, BUT I DO HAVE SOME HANDOUTS THAT WOULD GOOD.
UM, HANDOUT FOR OUR TWO ITEMS. BUT, UM, THESE TWO ITEMS, ONE IS IN THIS YEAR'S CAPITAL BUDGET, ONE IS IN NEXT YEAR'S CAPITAL BUDGET.
AND AND THEY'RE THEY'RE VERY, VERY, HE SAYS THIS YEAR HE NEEDS BETWEEN FIVE NEXT, I ASSUME SO.
SO ONE COULD BE PURCHASED, ALMOST ONE COULD BE PURCHASED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
ONE IS GOING, AND THE ONE THAT I NEED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY IS IN THIS YEAR'S SUITE.
SO, UH, AND THAT'S THE POLICE AB TECH COUNSEL, IT'S OUR DISPATCH CENTER.
THEY WON'T GUARANTEE IT ANYMORE.
THEY DON'T MAKE PARTS FOR IT ANYMORE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, LAST YEAR AND, AND THEY NEVER TOLD US ABOUT THIS UNTIL, UNTIL OCTOBER
SO LAST YEAR WE WERE, WE WERE DOWN ON THE BACK OF RADIO FOR THREE DAYS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET PARTS AND NOW, UM, THEY CAN'T GET ANY.
SO IF IT GOES DOWN AGAIN, WE'RE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.
SO I I ASK YOUR PLEASE UNDERSTANDING OF THE VERY IMPORTANT, I MEAN IT'S, IT'S RUNNING ON A WINDOW SEVEN UNIT, BUT WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED THIS.
I HANDED TO, I WE APPROVED IT LAST YEAR BECAUSE DID IT IMMEDIATELY AND IT CAME EFFECTIVELY.
WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT BEFORE.
SO IT'S, IT'S COME, IT'S COME UP AS AN, AS AN ITEM AFTER LAST YEAR GOT CREATED.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT NOW.
I DUNNO, MY VIEW IS LET'S DO IT.
I DIDN'T ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE NUMBER.
SO SHOULD I TAKE MY, SHOULD I TAKE IT BACK? I BETTER GO GET THE E
TELL ME WHAT THE ACTUAL NUMBER IS.
BUT I MEAN IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE TO DO IT.
IT'S VERY, WE HAVE TO, WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
AND THEN THE SECOND ITEM, WHICH IS FOR NEXT YEAR, BY THE WAY, YOU DIDN'T, YOU GET A GRANT WHICH DEALT WITH THINGS.
IS THAT GRANT AVAILABLE AGAIN? UM, I DON'T THINK SO.
I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION.
BUT I, I, THE, THE RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT WE PURCHASED DID COME WAY UNDER ONE $26,000 AND BUT THE REMAINING PORTION
[00:20:01]
OF THAT GRANT FOR OUTFIT THE CARS USED FOR OUTFITTING THE CARS.BUT, BUT WE WEREN'T EXPECTING THAT.
SO I THINK THERE'S A BIT OF FUNGIBILITY IN THAT.
AND THEN, UM, THE SECOND ITEM THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT, WHICH WAS TO OUR ATTENTION RECENTLY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING SOME RADIO CUTOUTS FOLLOW INTO BUILDINGS AND YOU'LL SEE IN YOUR PACKET WE DID THE TROUBLESHOOTING AIR.
UH, IT'S ALL IN YOUR PACKET WHERE WE DID SOME NOTES.
AND, UM, IF YOU COULD PLEASE JUST READ THIS AT YOUR LEISURE AND THEN CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
EVERYTHING IN HERE EXPLAINS WHY WE HAVE TO DO IT.
AND I EVEN HAVE, UM, TOM FROM SS HE SENT ME AN EMAIL WHICH I ATTACHED TO THIS SAME THING WITH THE POLICE, ABEC, EVERYTHING IS THERE, UH, TO EXPLAIN THE REASON WHY WE HAVE TO DO THIS, BUT, UM, LONG AND SHORT OF IT IS OUR REPEATER NEEDS TO BE UPDATED.
UM, AND WE HAVE TO ADD A NEW REPEATER BACK WHEN THEY HAD THE REPEATER INSTALLED, WHICH WAS IN 2012, I BELIEVE.
UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S MORE RADIO INTERFERENCE TODAY WITH CELL PHONES OUT THERE AND INTERFERES WITH THE AIRWAVES IF MY UNDERSTANDING.
AND SO THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY WE'RE GETTING THESE CHOPPY SIGNAL, WHICH IS A REALLY OFFICER SAFETY ISSUE.
SO TOM, HE CAME DOWN AND HE DID A HOME
I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH NETTE, BUT UM, WE ALSO HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF ADDING ON LIGHT BETTER.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE WATER TANK.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GET I HAVE TO THAT'S
SO IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TOO, YOU, IF THAT'S THE BEST LOCATION YEAH.
THAT WOULD AFFECT THOSE SIDES ON.
DO YOU SHARE WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR NO? ARE YOU ON YOUR OWN? UH, THIS ONE IS JUST LEASE.
WHEN YOU TALK TO TOM, I MEAN SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS ARE, ARE VERY OLD THOUGH I WOULD ASSUME THEY HAVE A LOT OF STEEL IN 'EM AND CONCRETE AND MASONRY.
I'M JUST CURIOUS IF HE WAS CONCERNED THAT IT'S ALSO JUST RADIO SO YOU CAN GET DESTRUCT.
MY UNDERSTANDING IF I UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY.
NOT YOU SAID THAT FELT THAT HAVING THE OTHER I KNOW.
SO I THINK WE SHOULD SEPARATE THESE TWO ISSUES OUT.
THE ONE THAT YOU NEED RIGHT AWAY.
ARE WE ALL AGREED ON THAT? ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT? YEAH, ABSOLUTE.
THE ONE THAT'S THIS YEAR, WE CAN DO THAT BY RESOLUTION TONIGHT OR TUESDAY.
DON'T DO IT IF YOU LIKE TO DO.
I HAVE WRITTEN A RESOLUTION,
DO YOU WANT TO GIVE IT TO ME? PLEASE FORGIVE MY HANDWRITING.
WE DO HAVE ANOTHER RESOLUTION NOW.
ARE WE, WHAT'S OUR RESOLUTION? WE HAVE TO RESCHEDULE PUBLIC CAMERA.
OKAY, SO 19 OF 25 AUTHOR AUTHORIZATION.
LET'S DO, I MEAN YOU CAN RENUMBER IT.
OKAY, SO 18 OF 25 SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED 25 26 VILLAGE BUDGET RESOLVED AT THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
I SORRY, INTERRUPT YOU, BUT I JUST WANNA, WE NEED TO HAVE ALL OF THE BOARDS INPUT BUDGET, SO WHY DON'T WE DO THEM VOTE LATER.
SO YOU'LL GET THE OTHER ONE, BUT WE'LL DO IT AT A LATER TIME.
THE ONE THAT'S IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.
I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT IT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CAPITAL PLAN RATHER THAN DO ONE.
WE HAVE, AND THEN WE'LL DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER RATHER THAN THE, CAN YOU ASK, UH, ESS JUST TO BREAK IT DOWN? AND THE OTHER THING ON THIS ONE IS THAT THERE ARE, THERE ARE TECHNOLOGY GRANTS SOMETIMES THAT COME FROM THE STATE OR FROM THE COUNTY.
SO IF YOU CAN, I'M ALWAYS LOOK, BUT ALWAYS I KNOW YOU ARE VERY GOOD AT THAT CHIEF AND I KNOW THAT LEFTHAND GABRIEL IS ALSO, BUT IF YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE
[00:25:01]
GOOD TO BE ABLE TO OFFSET IT AGAINST STREET.ANY OTHER SHALL WE DO? UM, YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY.
NO, NO, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT REVENUES.
YOU LISTEN EVERYBODY HAVE A NICE EVENING.
AND LIKE I SAID, UM, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT.
WANT TO JUST TAKE US THROUGH SOME OF THE BIG CHANGES THAT YOU'RE, UM, PROPERTY TAX ITEMS. THE CONTROLLER AT THE NY MEETING IS BE STRONG, BUT IT'S FINE TO BE, YOU KNOW, SO THE NYCOM MEETING, WE ALL KNOW THE UP.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT THAT'S WHAT HE HAPPENED TO SAY AS MR. KING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THESE THINGS.
SO WELL, LET'S HOPE HE'S RIGHT.
WE HAD A VERY ROBUST LIKELY, BUT YOU COVID REIMBURSEMENT KNOWS THAT WE, CERTAIN SERVICES THAT WE OFFER TO UTILITIES, LIKE WE HOPE THAT'S ZERO IS WHAT WE HOPE.
WELL THAT, BUT WE HOPE THAT THEY, WHAT WE REALLY WANT IS FOR THEM TO DO THEIR WORK.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY OCCASIONALLY ITS COUNTY COMES IN AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THOSE ARE ALL THOSE MOST OF THE, THAT USED TO BE THERE.
NEXT SCHOOL PROGRAM, THEY CALL ALL BASICALLY THEY, THEIR ESTIMATES, BUT THEY OFFSET GET, UH, FIRE PROTECTION FOR GREEN.
[00:30:01]
THIS YEAR WE WENT DOWN SLIGHTLY BASED ON A'S THE NUMBER BASIS FROM LIKE YES.THAT, WELL I THINK IT'S YEAR, BUT WHEN WE GET DATA SEPARATE FROM THE DATA, WE USE THE DATA AND THEN SEND THEM BASED ON, BUT, BUT HOW COULD 2000 OUT IF IT'S BASED ON WHAT I HAVE TO CORRECT THAT ACTUALLY IT'S, THERE WAS A, THE AUDITOR AND I HAD A, A DISAGREEMENT ON HOW SOMETHING SHOULD BEEN SCHEDULED.
SO IN ONE ONE YEAR IT GOT FLIPPED.
IT WAS, IT JUST SEEMS HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS TO ME THAT IT'S WITHIN THE CORE VOLUME IS SO INCREDIBLY, YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN? IT'S, IT'S NOT THE CALL VOLUME A RATIO THAT'S A PART OF IT ISN'T.
BUT THERE'S A RATIO BETWEEN CALL VOLUME WHAT IS SPENT BY THE DEPARTMENT.
IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I DON'T LIKE TAKING THINGS FROM THE BUDGET BECAUSE HELPS WITH THE CALCULATION.
BUT SO YOU ARE SAYING THAT THEIR BUDGET INFLUENCES THE AMOUNT? YES.
ANYWAY, I, I DON'T KNOW IF ALL VOLUME IS PART OF IT.
IT JUST SEEMS HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS.
BUT ALL OF THEM ARE FROM 19 20, 21 AND 22, THEY'RE ALL RELATIVELY STABLE.
WE HAD A HIGHER CALL, HIGHER CALL VOLUME.
AND UH, AND THAT HAS INFLUENCED THAT.
AND THEN WE NOTICED WHEN RALPH AND I DID THE COMPUTATION TOGETHER, WE NOTICED THAT IT WAS LONGER CLEAR AND THAT'S WHY IT HAS DROPPED.
BUT THAT'S ALSO WHY WE DIDN'T WANNA OVER BUDGET THE REVENUE.
SO POTENTIALLY IN THE 23 TO 24 FISCAL YEAR.
'CAUSE THAT'S THE, I'M SORRY, THE 24, 25 FISCAL YEAR, WE COULD HAVE HAD MORE CALLS THAN THE 2324 FISCAL YEAR.
SO THAT REVENUE THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING COULD BE HIGHER, IT COULD BE CLOSER TO WHAT WE'VE SEEN FOR OUR ACTUAL, FOR THIS YEAR.
BUT THE, THE ACTUAL FOR THIS YEAR ISN'T IS ACTUAL AMOUNT.
THAT IS THE CONTRACT THAT YOU JUST SIGNED WITH.
AND THAT'S FROM THE 2324 FISCALLY AND NO, IS THERE A REASON WHY THERE IN NO, THERE'S NO SCOPE BUDGET.
UM, UM, THAT REVENUE IS ACTUALLY JUST COMING IN INTEREST.
WE INCREASED FORECAST FORWARD AND
I MEAN THE LAST YEAR, THE LAST TIME IT WAS DOUBLE THE AMOUNT.
THOUSANDS PROBABLY GONNA BE FINE.
AND IT DOES BE WRONG FOR 20 19, 20 20 AND 2021 LOWLY.
BUT THAT'S REALLY, BUT IT'S ON WHAT IT'S, IT'S ABOUT WHAT IT'S INTEREST ON THE AMOUNT THAT IT'S ON.
I WOULD GUESS THAT IT MUST BE THAT IT MUST BE ON ALMOST NOTHING INTEREST ON WE CAN LOOK, IS IT BANK INTEREST OR YES, IT'S BANK, BANK INTEREST.
BUT THEN THERE MUST BE NO, THERE MUST BE MONEY IN THE, YOU EARN YOUR INTEREST BASED ON WHAT AMOUNT YOU HAVE IN CASH FOR THE BANK.
YOU HAVE NO MONEY IN THE BANK.
BUT IF YOU HAVE LOTS OF MONEY IN THE BANK, YOU EARN.
WELL IT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE INTEREST RATE.
IF THE INTEREST RATE IS GETTING YOU ZERO, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW WELL IT WASN'T ZERO IT WAS, BUT IT WAS NOT WHAT WE WERE SEEING.
AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE CORE PERCENT THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM CLASS HELPING THE FOOD.
YEAH, PLEASE CHECK THE MONEY AND STATE ACCOUNTS ARE FEDERAL CLASS
[00:35:29]
TIONS, THAT STANDARD POSTING, WE SHOULD POST THE SAME.SO THAT'S, IS THAT INCLUDING WHERE IS, UM, WHERE IS AID FUNDING? THAT IS 3001 STATE AID REVENUE SHARING THE SECOND LINE IN THE STATE AID.
NOT BY VERY MUCH, BUT IT GONE UP BY A LITTLE BIT.
WE, THAT WAS A MASSIVE VICTORY FROM ALL MUNICIPALITIES.
WE GOT ABOUT WHAT, ABOUT THREE OR FOUR PLUS? YEAH, IT A WE WE DID RECEIVE IT.
I JUST HAVE TO SEE WHERE WE WIND UP GETTING INVOLVED.
I JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S NO, YOU HAVE, BECAUSE YEAR, PREVIOUS YEAR IS THE SAY.
WHICH BRA IS THIS? THE, IS THIS THE OASIS GRANT OR WHICH BRA IS THAT ONE? FRENCH.
THE ONE THAT 3 6 3 6 0 2 IS A VARIETY OF THINGS.
IT'S ANYTHING THAT'S GRANT FUNDING THAT COMES IN THAT, THAT HAS TO BE.
SO THERE'S NO BUDGET FOR IT BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THE WE'RE GONNA GET IT.
SO IT'S NOT BUDGET, IT'S ONLY STATE GRANTS FUNDING.
THERE'S A FEDERAL OASIS IS OASIS ALSO THERE'S THE FEDERAL DRUG GRANT AND THEN THERE'S THE STATE FUNDED OAS FOR OASIS.
I WHERE WHERE IS OASIS AT? THE DRUG PREVENTION? DRUG PREVENTION.
AND THAT IS, IS THAT OASIS AND THE FIVE YEAR GRANT, THE WAGE BULLISH GRANT OR IS THAT THE BULLISH GRANT? IT'S ITS OWN BUDGET.
THAT'S IN THE FEDERAL DRUG GRANT BUDGET.
YEAH, THAT'S IT'S ACTUAL, IT'S OWN IT'S OWN PIECE OF PAPER.
[00:40:01]
FOR THAT.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYONE? UM, MARY BETH, CAN WE JUST GO, SO JUST REMIND ME, WHERE ARE WE GETTING A PILOT? WHERE ARE WE? WHAT, WHERE, WHERE ARE WE STILL GETTING A PILOT? THE 60? UM, WE HAVE TWO.
WE HAVE A $65,000 PILOT FROM NEWINGTON CROP.
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS MADE UP OF, UM, 4 22 WAR BURTON FROM THE TOWN OF GREENBURG, AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THAT'S GOT A SMALL PILOT OF THAT INCREASES.
AND THEN, UM, UM, MAYOR, I KNOW I FOUND IT, THE ADDITIONAL STATE AID WAS I WAS TOLD BY THE STATE TO PUT IT INTO STATE AID OTHER AS, SO, UH, 38 9, THAT'S WHERE IT WENT.
THE OSC TOLD ME TO MOVE IT TO STATE EIGHT OTHER WHAT, WHICH ONE IS THAT? THE FOURTH.
SO IF YOU LOOK, YOU'LL SEE $4,787.
THAT'S THE ADDITIONAL AID FUNDING.
THE AID FUNDING OR THEY CALLED IT TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE.
BECAUSE IT, IT WASN'T, THE GOVERNOR WAS USING IT AS A NEGOTIATION BID.
YEAH, IT'S A TEMPORARY MUNICIPAL ASSISTANCE AS SAY WE'LL PROBABLY GET IT RIGHT, THE BUDGET THAT AMOUNT VOTE DOWN.
BUT, BUT WHAT WERE THE, WHAT WAS STATE A OTHER IF THAT WAS DEFINITELY NOT A FUNDING? NO, IT WAS, THAT WAS JUST WHERE THEY TOLD ME TO CODE IT.
FOR THIS PARTICULAR, NO, AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING, WE HAVE TO GO BACK THE 85, THE 2 82 42.
I THINK IT'S BETTER TO PUT THAT 4, 7, 8 7 IN THE AIM LINE THAN TO HAVE IT IN STATE A OTHER.
I MEAN WHEN YOU SAY THEY, THE OSC TOLD ME TO PLACE IT WHEN I REACHED OUT TO THEM, SAID WHERE SHOULD THIS GO? THEY SAID, YEAH, YEAH, THEY SAID TO 30.
IF I CAN, I JUST, I MEAN IF THEY'VE TOLD YOU TO PUT IT THERE THAT, THAT, BUT I, IT'S, YEAH.
WAS THAT BECAUSE WE GOT THE 68 FIRST AND THEN THEY ADDED THE FOUR? YEAH, IT'S BECAUSE THEY ADDED THE FOUR.
SO THEY'RE NOT CALLING IT AIM FUNDING.
SO THIS YEAR WE'LL GET THE SEVEN I WOULD IMAGINE WE SHOWED.
SO WE CAN JUST PUT IT TWO TOGETHER IF YOU WANT.
WHAT I MEAN IF HAVE I DON'T BUDGET.
AND IS THE, IS THE CONSOLIDATED HIGHWAY, IS THAT INCLUDING, BECAUSE I KNOW THOSE TABLES HAVE COME OUT, IS THAT INCLUDING THE DESIGNATED AMOUNTS FOR THIS YEAR IN CONSOLIDATED HIGHWAY? YOU'VE ADDED YOUR YES.
THAT HAS ALL, ALL OF THOSE TOGETHER? YEP.
JUST ONE MORE ON THE SAME PAGE.
UM, CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN TO ME AGAIN, UM, SECOND LINE REFUND OF APPROPRIATIONS, RIGHT? YES.
UM, WHEN, UM, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, SOMETIMES MONEY FROM YOU MIGHT, MIGHT GET MONEY, SOMETIMES LIKE, YOU KNOW, AT, AT NEAR, NEAR YEAR END, THEY RECEIVE MONEY IN, IN, UH, JULY.
THAT SHOULD BE THE LATE TAX PAYMENT OR AN INSURANCE PAYMENT.
TAX PAYMENTS GO INTO, UM, THAT'S ALL OTHER THING.
LIKE AN INSURANCE PAYMENT FOR AN EVENT THAT HAPPENED.
[00:45:01]
POSSIBLY MO MOST OF OUR REFUNDS FOR CORPORATIONS ARE, UM, WAS COMPLICATED.SO IS THERE A REASON WHY IT WAS SO HIGH IN THE, UM, WE RECEIVED SOME, THEY DID A FIVE YEAR LOOKBACK, UH, WORKERS' COMP AND THEY GIVE US A QUITE A LARGE SUM OF, IT WAS ACTUALLY INTERESTING.
THEY SAID A FIVE YEAR LOOKBACK.
WE, I BELIEVE WE RECLASSIFY THE PERSONNEL THE HIGHER RATE.
WHICH MEANS WE DON'T EXPECT BECAUSE THAT WORK DONE, WE DON'T EXPECT SUCH A HIGH AMOUNT THIS YEAR.
BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WITH HOW, WHAT THEY DECIDE TO, HONESTLY, THE WAY IT CHANGES AND LOADS HARD TO GAUGE.
I KNOW I ASK YOU THIS EVERY FOURTH LINE DOWN WITH TAX ITEMS, OTHER JUST, IT'S ONLY FIVE.
WHAT IS NEW FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY IN? WE HAD 20 BUCKS.
YEAH, I TOTALLY, UM, THIS IS FOR LOST EXEMPTIONS.
SO WE'RE BACK BILLING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED EXEMPTION PROPERTY TAX WHEN PROPERTY CHANGE PAYMENT MID FISCAL YEAR SINCE WE CAN'T THOSE CHANGES PRIOR TO RIGHT.
I DON'T, WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE PARK FUND.
WE HAVE THAT AND UM, POOL, WE JUST, AND DRAPER IS, UM, LANDSCAPING SERVICES MONEY.
THIS IN THE, MAYBE IN THE CAPITAL OUT.
THAT WAS, IT WAS ONE YEAR, I THINK IT WAS LAST YEAR WHERE WE CHOSE TO USE THIS.
IS THAT WHAT THAT WAS? THE 2324.
I THIS WAS HISTORICAL SOCIETY WORK.
THAT WAS HISTORICAL WORK ON THE BUILDING.
OH YOU KNOW, WE, WE DID, WE DID THE HOUSE AND UH, WE DID SOME OTHER WORK ON THE WHICH ONE IS THAT BUILDING? AND WE SHARED THAT.
WHY WAS THE INCOME MUCH HIGHER? I GUESS IT'S FROM INTEREST, INTEREST EARNINGS IN THAT SAME YEAR.
[00:50:06]
AND YOU'LL JUST MAKE IT.JUST LOOK AT THE LAST, THE FEDERAL GRANT THAT THIS IS THE, THE FEDERAL DRUG GRANT.
THIS IS THE, NOT THE, THIS IS THE WAY COALITION GRANT.
SO I THINK THE CHALLENGE WITH THIS ONE ALWAYS IS MONEY.
THE, THE AMOUNT THAT GETS SPENT IS MUCH LOWER THAN THE BUDGET.
AND WE ASKED HER IN THAT QUESTION THAT I SHE'S END OF FEBRUARY.
I MEAN IF YOU CAN, BECAUSE I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT, I THINK SHE'S ROLLED MONEY OVER FROM PREVIOUS YEARS AND WE GOT FROM NEW BRA LAST YEAR.
SO I DON'T DUNNO IF THAT ALL OF THE BRA MOUTH FROM BEHIND PERIOD.
I THINK, I THINK I BELIEVE SHE PULLED FROM THAT BIRTH FOR THIS YEAR.
SHE AND I HAD HAD A CONVERSATION.
I, I HAD TAKEN OVER VERY BRIEFLY BETWEEN THE TWO.
SHE THE TREASURER AND NOW THEY, RIGHT.
I REMEMBER PULLING FROM THAT ONE FIRST.
AND I THINK THERE WAS A, I THINK EVERYONE GOT A REPRIEVE BID PROGRAMS WEREN'T BEING OFFERED.
SO THERE WAS, IT WAS SORT OF ALLOWABLE NOT TO HAVE SUCH EXPENDITURES, BUT WE THAT, SO JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THIS FUND SO IT'S NOT HERE.
WHY, WHAT WHAT'S THE DEFINITION OF FRINGE BANK? UM, HEALTHCARE, UH, IT'S UM, AND ONE OTHER EMPLOYEE, I DUNNO WHAT SPECIFICALLY THEY BRING IN SPEAKERS TO DO, TO BE ENGAGED.
THEIR WEB SERVICES COME OUT THERE.
I WAS JUST WONDERING, IS THERE A REASON THAT WE SHOULD HAVE DONE IT? BUT WE, I I MEAN WOULD WHAT YOU'RE SAYING WOULD'VE MADE SENSE? IT WOULD'VE BE BETTER TO DO THAT.
I MEAN, MOST MOST DEPARTMENTS DEAL WITH IT.
VERY OCCASIONALLY WE LOOK AT LIKE, WE'LL ASK THE BUILDING SECTOR ABOUT BUT WOULD GOOD TO JUST RELEVANT DEPART.
THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY ONE BECAUSE IT'S ON ITS OWN KIND OF SCHEDULE.
BUT YOU CAN REMIND TO DO THAT.
WE HAVE I THINK JUST THE ONE PUBLISHED HEARING.
[00:55:01]
NO, I THOUGHT BE CURRENTLY WE HAVE JUST THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET.UM, OR YES, TO BE ON APRIL 1ST.
WELL THEN IT'S NOT, I MEAN I DON'T MIND.
DO YOU WANNA PUT THAT THERE? VILLAGE MANAGER, THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
SO ARE WE READY FOR THE RESOLUTION? UM, 1825 PUBLIC HEARING.
25 TO 26 VILLAGE BUDGET RESOLVED AT THE MARYLAND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 18TH, 2025 AT 7:00 PM OR SHORTLY BE THEREAFTER TO CONSIDER THE PROPOSED 25 26 VILLAGE BUDGET.
