Description
Committee met for Budget Office presentation and Q and A on the proposed budget.
A
And
we
are
now
recording.
This
is
a
meeting
of
the
finance
taxation
and
assessment
committee.
However,
we
encourage
all
council
members
to
attend,
especially
when
we're
getting
our
overview
of
the
budget
from
the
director
of
the
budget,
and
that
is
the
purpose
of
tonight's
meeting.
We
have
with
us
on
the
council
president
pro-tem
Conti
finance
committee
members,
Michael
Bryan
and
Ginny
Farrell
and
Jamel
Robinson,
and
then
we
also
have
council
members,
Fahey
I
go
Flynn,
Johnston,
Joey,
love
and
inany,
and
in
the
audience
we
have
our
auditor.
Mr.

Situations
where
we
have
to
go
in
the
tax
base,
which
a
lot
of
us
to
do
this,
which
piece
rates
flat,
you
can
see
how
the
kind
of
this
kind
of
steady
growth
going
government
levy.
When
you
look
at
our
actual
tax
rates
flat,
so
we've
been
able
to
have
steady
growth
and
are
letting
itself,
but
without
impacting
on
taxpayers.
That's.
B
We
did
bring
this
number
down
to
four
million,
because
when
we
did
the
can't
start
engines
that
came
about
state
now
in
a
burning
the
treasurer's
office
more
attention,
since
we
had
not
our
own
analysis,
so
we
didn't
have
to
reduce
that
number,
but
we
can
actually
fill
out.
There
is
an
expectation
that
will
pick
up
that
difference
down
road
in
Lake
these,
but
since
we
have
a
hashed
out,
there
are
process
those
levees
anything
it
may
even
be
next
year.
So
we
may
not
see
those.
Ladies
come.
B
G
B
B
B
B
A
B
A
B
C
B
B
B
B
B
Didn't
overestimate
our
salaries
with
which
they
had
in
past,
but
then
movie
walked
me
close
to
that
number.
The
reason
why
was
easy
growth
there
is
the
atomization
program
is
ending
so
for
or
not
fire
and
police.
We
weren't
allowed
any
contamination
amount
for
this
year
so
that
that's
really
that's
that's
big
thing.
Through
an
increase
in
the
police,
a
little
bit
I
did
I.
Think
I
was
I.
Think
I
put
it
wat
that
down.
B
B
B
B
Yes,
good
number
is
number
is
kind
of
a
rough
estimate
only
because
why
I
also
didn't
calculate
for
a
six
hundred.
Eighty
two
thousand
dollar
grant
we're
going
to
pick
up
30
bucks
this
year
as
well,
yeah
so
which,
if
I
had
calculated
that,
in
that
would
have
been
credit
credit
level
number
in
there.
So
so
I
justify
$1,000
here
as
as
a
rough
estimate.
If
we
don't
get
that.
C
C
B
A
B
B
B
Necessarily
what
happened
left
you?
We
would
have
seen
another
poster
this
back
here,
but
we
converted
two
million
dollars
of
bands
into
box
with
that
goes,
as
that
pushes
your
first
payment
out
here,
so
we
didn't
have
to
make
that
we
never
made
that
paint
abandoning
last
year
and
that's
the
only
reason
why
our
number
was
down
at
this
level.
Traditionally
we
are,
we
are
born
in
this
range
of
that
just
came
back
up
to
normal.
That's
our
show.
Yeah.
A
85,
if
you
look
at
page
85,
the
last
column
over
of
twenty
nine
twenty
point,
1
million
dollars-
that
includes
landfill
principle
and
interest,
as
well
as
wherever
their
behinds
principal
minister.
And
then
you
also
have
the
bands
of
about
3.1
million
dollars,
and
that
comes
out
to
about
twenty
three
point:
two
million
dollars
and
your
listing
something
significantly
less
in
in
the
budget.
Now
for
debt
service.
B
Yeah
every
year
we
do
you
think
about
million
dollars
in
our
debits
are
for
my
debt
reserve
approaches,
which
is
basically
the
same
as
our
fund
balance,
but
it's
for
dad.
So
it's
just
you
can
only
use
that
balance
reduce
your
overall
number.
We
always
take
a
million
dollars
every
year,
so
you
would
see
that
on
the
revenue
side,
for
a
million
which
we've
never
seen
on
the
expense
side,
you
see
the
difference
in
the
actual
to
the
budget
at
the
end
of
the
year
this
year.
B
The
show
we're
educating
the
1.8
million
dollars
in
that
debt
service
because
we're
increasing
our
certified
up
and
Rosen
dollars
to
pay
off
to
make
a
larger
campaign
which
will
save
us
plane
going
forward.
So
the
number
that
we've
decreased
what's
in
there
as
our
actual
debt
by
1.8
million
dollars,
because
that
there's
painting
when
we've
come
in
on
Thursday
with
areas
we
talked
about
and
talked
about
our
you
know
our
dead,
the
dead
before
Bible
to
break
down
how
that
works
and
we'll
get
more
into
those
details.
B
A
But
but
we
have
a,
we
have
the
schedule
of
payments
for
credit
service
and
it
includes
twenty
three
point:
two
five
million
so
I
understand
you're
having
trouble
figuring
out
how
to
book
that
revenue
on
the
revenue
side,
but
this
is
debt
service.
Twenty
three
point:
two
five
million
is
is
what
our
debt
services
and
the
budget
does
not
reflect
that
and
that's
a
that's
a
we
and,
and
especially
when
you
look
at
this
budget
from
year
to
year.
We
should
be
looking
at
apples
to
apples
in
terms
of
expenditures
and.
B
A
B
B
B
D
E
B
B
A
C
C
G
B
E
B
A
C
B
B
That
is,
we
do
have
when
she's,
not
only
our
debt
service,
maintenance,
lots
of
taxes,
that's
all
over
with
in
the
growth
phase
of
the
project
and
we're
adding
an
additional
20
million
dollars
and
realize
it
over
the
Victini
leg
of
the
bottom
and
some
additional
funding
we
have
years,
we
put
200,000
that
we're
actually
releasing
that
building
for
training
academy
and
also
doing
some
some
different
things
which
were
looping
the
security
officer,
geo
and
Randy.
More
about
this,
the
robotics
is
technology.
C
D
D
B
Well,
this
is
what
is
rightfully
ours,
honestly,
considering
how
much
of
our
property
is
ungettable
because
of
the
state
presence
here,
a
lot
of
other
non
taxable
entities.
How
operation
grows
per
second
thousand
daily
to
be
given
the
least
amount
of
a
per
capita?
It's
remarkable,
and
once
again
we
don't.
We
don't
ask
for
Buffalo
Syracuse
Rochester
money,
we're
looking
for
something
that
puts
us
more
aligned
with
so.
H
H
G
A
I
E
B
F
G
B
So
you
already
have
homes
in
a
non-home
staff.
Here
we
have
much
higher
on
our
commercial
properties
to
put
that
to
increase
the
tax
levy,
impacts
across
the
board
and
compensate
the
two
and
a
half
million
dollars.
That
would
have
been
an
additional
burden
also
because
of
the
way
that
the
tax
cap
works.
It's
likely
they
would
have
that's
what
one
feels
that
the.
B
C
F
B
E
B
C
J
K
E
A
That
we've
been
asked
to
introduce
tonight
is
for
to
make
the
$90
per
year
fee,
continue
it
and
to
essentially
not
have
an
annual
review,
because
the
legislation
amends
b
and
d
of
that
section,
but
left
in
place.
Your
f
that
has
an
annual
review
by
the
common
count.
So
with
regard
to
that
fee
schedule
and
our
actual
approval
of
the
name
which
I
think
there's
been
discussion
about
doing
away
with
that,
especially
if
it's
at
$90
and
that's
what's
nice
to
stay
with
until
we
figure
something
else.
E
I
thought
we
get
into
that
and
there's
going
to
be
a
revised
version
of
that
tonight
to
take
care
of
the
sunset
issue,
but
for
purposes
of
introduction.
That
part
is
not
addressed,
but
as
we
get
further
into
considering
legislation,
there
are
additional
parts
that
really
need
to
be
cleaned
up
and
the
annual
review
and
the
separate
fee,
and
things
like
that,
problems
should
be
taken
out
right.
B
H
There
been
any
discussion
on
potential
like
rebates
or
a
way
to
lessen
that
fee.
If,
for
example,
you
I
have
several
constituents
that
are
not
here
in
the
full
year
and
they're
very
upset
that
they
have
to
take
full-year
feve
and
they
don't
utilize,
it
Sofia
supposed
to
attacks,
and
then
there's
also,
you
know,
incentivizing
composting,
one
of
the
biggest
wee
things
that
go
into
our
landfill
is
food
waste
so
and
incentivizing
food
composting.
H
B
H
E
H
L
B
B
F
B
A
B
D
A
J
C
A
B
It's
the
beginning
of
what
we
anticipate
to
be
a
regular
schedule,
so
these
monthly
will
be
allocated
each
and
every
year
so
that,
instead
of
not
doing
anything
for
Soviet
I
may
be,
seventeen
of
them
is
going
to
happen.
Basically
will
be
continuously
doing
two
three
three
four
four
here,
depending
what
funding
is
available.
So
that's.
