A
Everybody
excited
about
valentine's
day,
you're
just
excited
about
the
budget
kickoff
right
anyway.
Today
it
is
eleven
o'clock
and
we
are
here
for
our
budget
kickoff
and
both
commissioners.
Commissioner
davidson
mr
kenyon,
we
are
here,
commissioner
beck
is
in
washington
d.c.
You
may
be
joining
us
on
bridge,
I'm
not
sure,
but
we
do
have
a
lot
of
folks
in
the
room.
We
don't
have
time
to
go
around
and
introduce
everyone,
but
I
will
just
turn
it
over.
At
this
point
to
film
grain
clerk
auditor
recorder
and
it's
your
meeting
so.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Kenyon
whoa,
just
picking
me
up
well
good
morning.
Everyone
it's
that
time
of
year.
What
everyone
looks
forward
to
particularly
bob.
I
can
see
it
on
his
face.
B
Is
it's
time
for
us
to
begin
the
budget
process
for
some
of
you.
You've
already
begun
the
process.
I
know
just
due
to
the
size
of
your
budgets,
but
it's
at
that
point
in
time
where
we
need
to
get
everybody
thinking
about
this
again,
especially
with
all
the
things
that
we
have
going
on
in
the
county,
I'm
going
to
try
and
be
judicious
with
everyone's
time
just
to
highlight.
B
But
before
I
do,
I
want
to
just
reflect
back
so
last
year,
as
you
may
recall,
one
of
the
biggest
emphasis
that
we
had
throughout
the
entire
budget
was
property
taxes,
not
that
that
has
gone
away
right,
but
one
of
the
big
things
we
were
able
to
accomplish
as
an
accounting
is.
We
actually
saw
a
12
million
dollar
reduction
in
our
property
tax
revenue,
which
is
a
very
heavy
lift.
It
helped
kind
of
stint
kind
of
lessen
the
impact
of
the
governor's
public
safety
initiative.
B
Property
taxes
continues
to
be
a
big
conversation,
as
property
values
continue
to
rise,
and
even
with
this
year,
we've
continued
to
see
the
shift
from
commercial
properties
and
other
properties
to
residential
properties,
so
that
discussion
continues,
but
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
as
loud
of
a
conversation
as
we
were
last
year
right.
One
of
the
challenges
too,
you
can
cut
12
million
dollars
once
but
continuing
to
do.
That
will
prove
to
be
a
big
challenge.
B
Also,
along
with
that,
we've
seen
a
huge
influx
in
terms
of
federal
money
that
has
been
coming
in
right.
So
all
of
you
are
very
familiar
with
arpa
and
the
discussions
and
meetings
have
been
going
on
with
the
arpa
funds,
but
that
overlays
it's
a
new
level
and
a
new
layer
that
we
have
to
incorporate.
As
we
look
at
the
budget-
and
I
actually
think
it's
something
really
important
this
year-
that
we
take
into
consideration
as
we
prepare
our
budgets.
B
You
know
what
projects
are
you
looking
at
in
terms
of
your
office
or
department
that
need
to
be
achieved
and
does
it
or
doesn't
it
fit
within
the
arpa
funds?
We
still
have
large
amounts
of
arpa
funds,
we'll
get
our
second
tranche
in
june,
and
so
as
we,
the
timing
of
the
budget
will
overlay
very
heavily
with
those
federal
funds
that
are
coming
in,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
important
and
we
discuss
this
with.
The
board
is
just
looking
at.
B
Are
there
things
that
we
can
accomplish
that
are
significant,
that
both
help
the
county
and
help
the
community,
where
we
can
either
leverage
those
federal
monies
so
that
we
don't
have
to
use
taxes
to
complete
something
or
where
we
can
combine
some
of
our
general
fund
money,
along
with
the
federal
money,
to
achieve
something
significant
for
the
community?
And
so
I
really
I
bring
that
up
early,
just
kind
of
set
the
tone
as
you're
thinking
about
it.
B
As
we
begin
this
year's
budget,
we
find
ourselves
in
I'm
going
to
say
it
challenging
circumstances
on
the
on
the
front
end
and,
as
commissioner
davidson
likes
to
reflect,
we
keep
reminding
him
how
easy
it
is
since
he's
been
in
office
because
we
have
money.
So
one
of
the
great
privileges
is
that
we
are
sitting
with
money
and
for
those
who
have
been
here
a
while.
That
has
not
always
been
the
case.
B
The
challenge
that
we
see
this
year
is,
we
actually
finished
the
end
of
the
last
fiscal
year
in
a
very
healthy
position.
Once
again,
the
same
thing
happened
last
year,
but
we
find
ourselves
in
the
same
spot
with
nearly
28
million
dollars
of
unallocated
fund
balance,
that's
an
enormous
amount
of
money,
but
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
we
see-
and
I
know
this,
having
had
conversations
with
many
of
you
in
the
room.
B
That
is
one
time
savings
that
is
money
that
came
in
in
some
cases,
it's
revenue
that
came
in
that
we
didn't
anticipate
one
of
the
biggest
sources
for
all
of
that
is
about
10
million
dollars
in
additional
sales
tax
that
we
received.
B
If
you've
been
listening
or
read
in
the
paper
about
what's
going
on
at
the
state,
the
state
has
an
enormous
surplus.
You
know
they
they're
looking
at
tax
relief
and
some
other
things
there.
It's
the
same
revenue
streams
that
the
state's
benefiting
from
we
are
also
benefiting
from
as
our
economy
is
just
doing
really
really
well,
despite
everything
else
that's
going
on
despite
covet
and
all
the
other
challenges
we're
facing.
B
So
a
huge
portion
is
just
additional
revenues,
but
also
a
lot
of
it
is
savings.
We
didn't
spend
all
of
our
budgets
again
this
year.
A
lot
of
that
really
was
focused
on
the
capital
line
items.
We
had
budgeted
six
million
dollars
to
fund
the
master's
facility
plan
and
once
again
we
did
not
spend
that
six
million
dollars
towards
a
master's
facility
plan,
so
it
creates
one-time
money
that
we
can
use
collectively.
All
of
this
savings
adds
up
to
that
28
million
dollars.
B
Now
the
challenge
is
that
is
one-time
money
and,
as
I've
talked
with
the
board,
and
as
I've
talked
with
many
of
you,
there
is
less
need
for
one-time
money
right
now
than
there
is
ongoing
money
right.
We
are
all
seeing
inflation,
you
know
bob
perkins,
everybody
we're
the
cost
of
the
services
that
we
do.
Every
construction
project
bruce
goes
into.
The
price
keeps
going
up
and
probably
most
prominently,
and
I
think
it
will
be
the
biggest
narrative
of
our
budget.
B
This
year
is
employee
wages
right
specifically
retaining
the
people
that
we
have,
but
also
being
able
to
attract
and
recruit
new
people.
I
can't
think
of
how
almost
everyone
in
the
room
has
at
some
point
either
talk
to
the
board
or
hr.
Somebody
saying
we've
got
these
vacancies.
We've
posted
this
job
for
a
couple
of
weeks,
we
only
have
two
applicants
and
one
didn't
even
spell
his
name
right
right,
and
so
how
do
we
address
that
right?
The
challenge
is,
and
you
will
hear
us
kathleen
and
I
and
trent
really
pushing
back.
B
Is
we
can't
use
this
one-time
money
to
fund
these
ongoing
expenses
in
terms
of
addressing
employees,
otherwise
we're
just
setting
ourselves
up
for
failure
in
the
future
when
these
revenues
are
when
this
money
is
gone,
this
is
savings,
and
so
we
need
to
use
the
savings
to
lighten
the
load
where
we
can,
whether
that's
major
construction
projects
that
we
try
to
achieve,
whether
that's
the
purchase
of
one-time
purchase
of
vehicles
or
other
large
capital
outlays,
but
really
focusing
on
capital,
not
on
people.
Despite
what
we
know
talking
to
everyone
is
people
are
the
biggest
challenge.
B
The
county
is
well
over
half
a
million
people
now
we're
trying
to
provide
more
services,
but
it's
getting
harder
and
harder
when
we
can't
find
people
to
perform
those
services,
and
so
I
expect
that's
going
to
be
one
of
the
biggest
things
is
just
discussion
about
wages
as
we
head
into
the
budget,
and
so
that
you
know,
as
I
look
at
it,
I
think
those
are
the
large
narratives.
If
you,
you
know
one
of
the
things
we
are
interested.
B
If
you
have
other
things
going
on
in
your
office
or
department,
we'd
like
to
hear
about
it,
so
we
can
strategize
with
you
on
how
things
will
be
able
to
play
out
in
the
budget.
It's
a
lot
easier
for
us.
It's
a
lot
easier
for
the
commissioners
if
we
know
those
things
going
into
june,
rather
than
having
big
surprises
in
june,
when
we
have
to
try
and
adapt
to
squeeze
them
in.
B
But
I
do
think
this
is
the
time
to
be
really
looking
at
your
offices
and
what
those
needs
are
and
trying
to
balance
them,
and
I
think
the
board.
I
really
appreciate
in
our
conversation
last
week
with
them.
They
have
a
good
sense.
Having
talked
to
so
many
of
you,
I
mean
they're,
seeing
it
too
in
terms
of
just
what
our
economy
looks
like
right.
B
It's
great
that
we're
seeing
increased
revenues
from
sales
tax
and
other
things,
but
we're
ending
up
paying
that
much
more
for
the
services
that
we
have,
and
so
they
recognize
that
as
we're
working
on
the
budgets
and
so
I'll
give
some
of
the
overarching
guidelines
that
the
board
has
for
this
year's
budget
and
then
talk
about
the
timelines
a
little
bit
as
well.
So
just
to
look
so
recognizing
in
terms
of
operating
expenses
in
your
operating
budget
you,
we
will
once
again
be
sending
out
an
allocation
for
each
office
and
department.
B
That
is
your
base
allocation
within
that
base
allocation.
What
you'll
see
is,
in
addition
to
where
you
were
for
your
base.
Last
year,
minus
any
one-time
expenses
that
have
been
removed
out.
You
will
see
a
three
percent
increase
in
on
your
operating
budget
that
three
percent
increase,
as
we
went
to,
based
on
the
commissioner's
recommendations,
the
bureau
of
labor
statistics
to
look
at
what
are
government
expenses
looking
like
as
it
relates
to
inflation,
so
a
little
bit
different
than
cpi,
but
the
same
basic
principle
and
said
all
right.
B
This
is
the
inflation
that
we're
seeing
generally
and
so
your
budgets
are,
it's
really
an
effort
to
keep
you
flat.
It's
giving
you
that
three
percent
to
absorb
some
of
those
increased
costs
that
you're
seeing
in
your
operating
budgets,
so
you'll
have
both
of
those
also
for
those
of
you
that
that
are
impacted
by
this.
If
you
have
increased
revenue,
so
richard
right,
you're,
a
perfect
example
right,
you
can
use
any
of
your
office
or
department
revenue
lines.
B
B
I
just
I've
already
said
it,
but
just
to
re-emphasize
do
be
looking
at
any
of
those,
especially
once
you
start
getting
to
the
supplementals
to
see.
Are
there
any
one-time
expenses?
B
You
know
that
you
can
identify,
definitely
identify
those
one-time
expenses,
because
we
will
be
looking
at
our
savings
and
trying
to
determine
how
can
we
leverage
our
savings
so
that
we
can
provide
as
much
ongoing
revenue
streams
to
things
like
wages
and
similarly
be
considering
arpa
now
the
one
cautionary
thing
I'll
say
is
in
the
conversations
already
what
we're
seeing
with
arpa
and
we'll
be
having
more
conversations
with
the
board.
B
The
management
of
the
grant
right,
as
well
as
some
of
the
other
grants,
is
creating
a
significant
strain
through
the
system
in
the
county
right,
and
so
it
is
better
for
us
to
try
and
use
these
federal
monies
for
big
projects
rather
than
a
lot
of
little
projects.
If
you
remember
way,
back
a
year
ago,
someone
had
asked
me
it
was
tony
or
somebody
you
know
what
is
the
dollar
threshold?
We
do
really
don't
need
small
projects
to
use
arpa
funds.
B
We
need
bigger
projects
because
there's
a
lot
for
legal
to
do,
there's
a
lot
for
procurement
to
do
and
a
lot
for
our
office
to
do
to
manage
the
oversight
of
these
grants.
But
if
you
have
something
that
fits
in
please,
we
want
to
hear
about
it
in
terms
of
capital
right
if
this
will
fit
in,
because
we
have
the
savings,
we'll
be
looking
at
it.
So
ci
the
cips
and
eoe
projects
should
have
already
been
submitted.
B
It
was
what
two
weeks
ago,
richard
I
think
it
was,
was
the
deadline
to
get
those
in,
so
the
transformation
board
will
be
continuing
that
process
again.
The
transfer
transformation
board
will
be
meeting
in
april
to
review
all
those
after
development
services
has
had
a
chance
to
assemble
all
the
information
to
prioritize
what
those
projects
are
going
to
be
and
then
we'll
be
making
that
presentation
to
the
board
in
terms
of
priorities.
B
So
hopefully
you
got
those
in
I'll
just
note,
one
of
the
big
ones
that
is
going
through
because
we're
in
desperate
need
is,
we
will
be
working
to
replace
the
financial
system,
so
fab
will
be
going
away.
It's
kind
of
reached
a
state
of
vulnerability
that
needs
to
be
replaced
and
so
you're
gonna.
That
impacts
a
lot
of
you.
B
It
ultimately
impacts
all
of
you
because
everybody
relies
on
the
financial
system,
but
a
lot
of
you
on
the
front
end,
so
we'll
be
working
towards
that
sorry,
I
lost
my
train
of
thought,
but
any
cip's
eoes
will
be
reviewing
those
as
well
as
ongoing
conversations
with
the
board
regarding
the
master's
facility
plan.
B
Finally,
when
it
comes
to
wages,
the
board
certainly
recognizes
the
circumstances
that
we're
in
so
they
are
seriously
considerate
looking
at
wages.
So
as
you
develop
your
budgets,
please
know
that
the
board
is
considering
in
the
five
percent
range.
That's
their
goal
between
three
and
five
percent
to
be
able
to
address
employee
wages
across
the
board.
We
shared
with
them
the
state
of
idaho.
B
The
committee
on
employee
compensation
just
passed
a
recommendation
of
a
three
percent
cola
for
all
state
employees
as
well
as
I
think
this
is
interesting
and
something
we
will
be
looking
at
as
well.
Is
they
added
merit
on
top
of
that
three
percent?
But
the
merit
is
a
dollar
up
to
a
dollar
25
per
hour.
B
I
think
both
commissioner
davidson
and
commissioner
kenyon
kind
of
led
the
cry
that
we
need
to
address
some
of
those
low
wages,
especially
as
our
housing
costs,
continue
to
rise
here
right,
food,
housing,
gas.
Those
are
all
the
things
that
we're
seeing
that
are
impacting
our
employees
and
the
ability
being
located
here
in
downtown
boise,
on
people
being
able
to
do
some
of
the
jobs
that
we
have
people
performing
and
so
we'll
be
trying
to
figure
out
our
own
mix.
B
I
know
commissioner
kenyon's
always
good
about
asking
is
we
will
want
feedback
specifically
from
the
elected
officials,
but
also
department
heads?
Please
have
conversations
with
steve
in
terms
of
what
the
mix
is
that
you
would
like.
We
know
enough
to
know
not
everyone
in
this
room
agrees
on
what
that
mix
should
be,
but
I
think
this
will
be
the
time
to
solicit
that
feedback
as
we
look
into
it,
we'll
also
be
looking
at.
Where
are
our
wages
and
classifications
which
ones
have
been
rising,
and
where
is
the
greatest
need
so
trying
to
do
that?
B
B
So
please
know
that
you're
not
unique
your
inability
to
find
people
when
you
post
jobs,
is
pretty
universal
across
the
room
right,
and
so
it's
one
of
these
things
that
we
really
need
to
look
as
a
county
on
how
we
can
best
combat
that,
because
what
we're
having
is
we're-
and
I
think
everyone
here-
feels
it
at
times
we're
competing
with
each
other
right
in
terms
of
employees
and
wages,
and
so
as
we
tackle
the
budget.
It's
one
of
the
things
we're
going
to
have
to
take
into
consideration.
B
So
now
with
that
make
sure
when
you
are
doing
any
special
salary
adjustments
that
you
recognize
those
salary
adjustments
should
be
put
in
with
knowing
that
there
will
likely
be
a
colimeric
combination
already
in
place
right.
So
I
think
it's
very
clear
from
our
conversations.
We
will
be
doing
something
we'll
just
have
to
see
what
we
can
afford
and
how
your
budget
submissions
come
in
will
largely
dictate
what
we're
able
to
afford
in
terms
of
employee
wages.
It's
always
kind
of
the
big
elephant
in
the
room
is
how
do
we
tackle
that?
B
So
keep
that
in
mind,
but
please
know
we'll
be
we'll
be
looking
at
the
special
salary
adjustments
with
that
in
mind
right
and
we
don't
want
to
have
to
go
through
the
do
you
include
it.
Do
you
not
like
just
assume
it's
on
top
of
that
and
that
you
can
justify
why
that
is
the
case
above
and
beyond
with
the
commission,
so
it
shouldn't
be.
Your
justification
should
not
be
well.
The
cost
of
living
has
gone
up
right.
That's
the
board's
going
to
try
and
address
that
as
best
they
can
across
the
board.
B
You
know
everything
in
terms
of
new
positions.
That's
another
area.
One
of
the
things
I
think
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
hardest
issues
again
on
wages
is
just
new
positions.
I
know
there
are
especially
certain
areas
the
judiciary
has
requested
new
judges
that
impacts
all
those
offices
and
departments
that
are
tied
to
the
judicial
branch.
B
They
are
ongoing
revenue
as
required
to
fund
those
employees,
and
so
all
those
requests
for
new
positions
will
be
in
tension
with
our
goal
of
increasing
wages
and
taking
care
of
the
people
we
have,
and
so
I
think
we're
going
to
be
in
that
tough
balance,
all
of
us
on
what's
a
higher
priority,
getting
another
body
or
taking
care
of
the
bodies
that
you
have,
and
you
know
if
you
have
vacancies
and
I'm
certain
vacancies
will
be
looked
at.
It's
one
of
the
biggest
challenges.
B
There's
vacancies
because
you're
not
using
it,
but
there's
many
of
you
experiencing
vacancies,
because
you
can't
find
someone
to
fill
that
vacancy.
But
one
of
our
priorities
needs
to
be
filling
this,
the
ftes
that
we
have
right.
So
we
can
first
get
up
to
get
fully
staffed
and
then
be
adding
additional
staff
to.
It
doesn't
make
sense
to
add
a
new
position
if
you
can't
fill
the
positions
that
you
have
so
take
that
into
consideration.
B
Generally
speaking,
the
goal
is
to
keep
new
positions,
special
salary
adjustments
and
reclasses
to
a
minimum.
Unless
there's
you
know
specific
reasons
to
be
able
to
do
that,
because
the
board
has
had
so
many
meetings
talking
about
wages
and
trying
to
say
how
can
we
take
care
of
the
people
that
we've
got
and
keep
the
county
healthy
in
terms
of
timeline?
B
We
are
kicking
things
off.
I
know
it
depends
on
your
department
size.
Some
of
you,
like
I
mentioned,
have
already
been
working
at
this.
We
encourage
everyone
to
start
working
on
their
budgets.
Please
don't
wait
till
april.
It
just
makes
it
harder
on
you
and
harder
on
us.
So
that's
what
this
time,
the
end
of
february
and
throughout
march,
is
to
be
gathering
information.
B
Make
sure
you
can
build
your
cases
and
justification
budget
detail
does
help
the
board
in
making
its
decisions
as
we
go
through
everything
in
the
budget
process,
the
next
date
you
should
know.
Also,
I
guess,
first
later
today
we
should
have
the
budget
packets
posted
on
our
website,
so
that
you
can
begin
that
work
right
and
be
reviewing
everything
kathleen
and
tim
will
continue
to
be
resourced
in
terms
of
your
allocations
and
what
to
be
working
towards
for
your
department,
the
personnel
analysis
system,
the
pa
system
will
be
locked
down
on
march
11th.
B
So
if
you
have
any
funds
that
are
in
there
that
you
know
in
advance
of
working
on
your
budget,
you
want
to
redistribute
some
of
that
personnel
savings
that
you
have
be
thinking.
You've
got
got
basically
a
month
to
make
any
of
those
pa
get
those
pa
requests
in.
So
please
one
of
the
hardest
things
on
our
office
and
on
hr
is
when
they
come
in
all
at
the
last
second.
So
please,
if
you
do
have
that
funding
and
you
plan
to
move
some
money
around
right
now
is
the
time
to
do
it.
B
I
should
also
note-
because
I
didn't
say
it
before
once
again
as
you
work
on
your
budgets,
if
you
need
to
shift
between
the
personnel
and
the
operating
budgets
just
because
that's
where
the
needs
are,
you
can
do
that
as
you're
beginning
to
prepare
your
budget
once
we
once
they're
submitted
that'll
be
locked
in
after
so
personnel
analysis
will
lock
down
in
march
and
then
mid
april,
so
april
11th
through
the
15th,
is
when
personnel
budgets
will
be
due.
That
would
give
hr
a
chance
to
review
those
budgets.
B
B
So
it
is
rigid
for
us
to
get
that
information
in
so
that
we
can
assemble
all
of
the
information
for
the
board's
consideration
in
the
month
of
june.
So
the
big
focus
for
all
of
you
is
that
timeline
between
now
and
the
beginning
of
may
to
get
your
entire
budget
ready
for
the
board.
We
will
then
spend
the
month
of
may
assembling
all
of
the
information
throughout
the
county
to
see
where
we
sit
financially
between
the
revenue
streams
coming
in
as
well
as
your
requests.
B
So
we
can
let
the
board
know
what
do
we
need
to
tackle
when
it
comes
to
the
budgets
the
week
of
june
13th
will
be
budget
presentations,
so
that'll,
be
when
you're
presenting
similar
to
before
the
board
will
want
to
hear
what
you
did
with
your
budget
over
the
last
year.
So
what
you
know,
what
were
you
able
to
accomplish
with
the
money
that
you
had
as
well
as
then
understanding
what
your
needs
are
moving
forward
and
what
your
specific
requests
are?
Any
supplemental
requests,
as
well
as
any
of
the
transformation
board
recommendations.
B
You
will
also
need
to
present
that
information
to
the
board
at
that
time,
and
then
we
will
do
budget
deliberations
the
week
of
june
20th,
so
the
calendar,
I
think,
kathleen's
already
sent
out
the
calendar,
but
it's
with
the
budget
packets.
B
The
last
thing
I'll
mention
it
seems
to
have
on
our
end.
We
see
it
so
whether
you
feel
it
or
not.
We
see
it,
we
instituted
a
couple
years
ago,
the
budget
liaisons
in
our
office,
so
relying
on
the
accountants
in
our
office
to
assist
you
and
and
answering
questions
or
working
through
how
to
use
fab,
how
to
fill
out
the
supplemental
paperwork:
how
to
look
up
information
right.
They
are.
This
is
part
of
their
skill
set.
B
So
please
we
are
going
to
again
have
budget
liaisons
for
each
office
and
department,
and
we
encourage
you
to
take
advantage
of
them.
We
do
see
this
process
go
more
smoothly
for
those
who
work
with
their
budget
liaisons,
I
even
having
a
liaison
for
the
clerk's
office
and
we
sit
down
and
make
sure
you
know
before
tim
rejects
us.
We
make
sure
that
we
work
with
our
liaison
to
kind
of
be
pre-vetted
in
an
effort
not
to
get
rejected
right.
It's
hard
enough
for
me
to
get
rejected
by
tim.
B
So
please
take
advantage
of
those
liaisons.
I
think
it
is.
You
know,
as
the
budgets
become
more
and
more
complicated,
with
everything
that's
going
on.
It's
just
helpful
to
have
those
additional
eyes
and
they're,
also
in
a
great
position
where
you
know
it
may
not
be
that
they
know
the
answers,
and
that
can
certainly
be
the
case,
but
they
are
surrounded
by
a
team
of
people
who
do
right
and
they
just
have
easier
quicker
access.
So
please
take
advantage
of
those
budget
liaisons.
B
They
really
do
seem
to
help
the
process
moving
forward,
and
with
that
I
will
answer
any
questions
that
anybody
has
about
the
upcoming
budget,
bob
that
the
inflation
is
three
percent.
What
was
the
source
of
that
again
I'll
all
email
out
the
source
we
use
the
so
commissioner
back
could
specifically
ask
right.
We
can
look
at
cpi,
but
the
bureau
of
labor
statistics
manages
multiple
indicators
right
and
some
that
are
more
specific
in
line
with
government
spending,
and
so
we
use
that
one
of
the
indicators
from
bureau
of
labor
statistics,
yep.
A
So,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
know
your
team
works
hard
year
round.
This
is
a
year-round
process
here.
I
just
really
appreciate
adam,
for
example,
when
he
had
his
quarterly
meeting
with
us
just
the
hour
before
this
brought
to
the
board's
attention.
A
You
know
what's
kind
of
coming
down
the
pike,
you
know
challenges
some
additional
funds
that
you
may
be
requesting
and
I
think
that's
really
helpful
for
the
board
and
so,
as
you
meet
with
us
for
your
monthly
or
quarterly
meetings,
give
us
that
information,
and
so
we
just
don't
at
the
end
of
you
know
the
year
in
may
all
of
a
sudden
we're
hearing
this
for
the
first
time,
and
I
think
that
really
helps
us
help
you.
A
So
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
do
that
and
then,
as
always,
I
think
steve
is
doing
a
really
great
job.
Bringing
department
heads
together,
trying
to
get
all
of
us
to
be
more
efficient,
more
effective,
constantly.
Looking
at
how
do
we
improve
our
processes?
How
do
we
reduce
redundancies
share
resources?
You
know
things
like
that,
and
so
let's
just
continue
to
be
creative
and
continue
to
think
and
try
to
get
ahead
of
some
of
these
major
capital
costs.
And
how
can
we
do
it
better,
especially
around
space?
A
Those
are
our
biggest
ticket
items
that
cost
taxpayers
the
most
and
hurt
the
most,
and
so,
if
we
can
figure
out
how
to
be
creative,
especially
around
space
and
in
our
built
resources.
I
know
everybody
would
appreciate
that.
So
thank
you.
A
B
Jump
on
this
commercial
canyon,
you
reminded
me
of
something
that
I
think
is
really
important
for
this
year's
budget.
B
Please
reevaluate
your
operating
expenses
related
to
what
we're
going
to
call
the
new
working
conditions
right
so
a
year
ago
the
board
had
said
hey.
Did
we
learn
any
lessons
through
the
pandemic
that
we
can
improve
our
operations?
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
the
pen,
this
isn't
and
there
isn't
just
some
end
date
right.
B
I
think
what
we've
seen
and
the
commissioners
keep
bringing
it
up
as
we
talk
about
the
master's
facility
plan.
A
lot
of
that
was
developed
before
the
pandemic
hit
right,
but
I
mean
we've.
All
known
parking
was
our
biggest
conversation,
one
of
the
biggest
priorities
forever,
and
yet
we
have
never
really
filled
out
our
parking
spaces
since
we
built
the
new
garage
just
because
we've
kind
of
been
in
this
flux,
but
it
doesn't
appear
that
this
state
is
ending
anytime
soon.
B
It's
kind
of
the
new,
normal
and
so
be
looking
at
is
your
budget
is
the
money
going
to
where
it
needs
to
be
right.
Based
on
that,
rather
than
doing
budget
transfers
throughout
the
year
we'd
like
to
see
the
money
you
may
be
spending
the
same
amount
you're
just
potentially
spending
in
different
ways
so
assess
that
to
make
sure
each
of
the
line
items
accurately
reflects
your
new
operating
standard,
because
operations
have
changed,
and
we
can
see
that,
like,
I
said
one
of
our
for
so
the
past
two
years.
B
One
of
the
areas
we've
seen
is
just
we're
not
spending
all
of
the
money
that
we've
budgeted
and
what
that's
a
reflection
of
is
often
well
we're.
You
know
we're
starting
from
the
same
place
we
were
before,
but
we're
not
adjusting
it
and
so,
rather
than
continue
that
savings
we'd
rather
make
sure
we
can
get
the
money
to
where
it
needs
to
go
and
where
it
will
be
spent.
B
I
mean
that's
the
purpose
of
the
budget,
and
so
please
reassess
your
operations
and
just
say
all
right
from
now
on
people,
you
know
we're
going
to
have
a
portion
of
our
staff
that
needs
this
equipment
because
they
work
remotely
versus
working
here.
I
you
know,
I
don't
know
exactly
what
areas
impact
each
of
you,
but
I
think
making
that
reassessment
right
now
is
really
important.
B
C
Everything
no
just
looking
forward
to
going
through
this
process.
Again,
of
course,
it's
an
election
year,
it's
probably
going
to
be
more
scrutiny
from
the
press
and
everybody
else
so,
but
thanks
for
everybody
for
your
hard
work
and
looking
forward
to
putting
together
a
great
budget.
