A
Let's
pray
father
we
do.
Thank
you
we're
very
grateful
for
all
the
blessings
that
we
have,
lord,
in
the
midst
of
the
challenges
that
we're
facing
on
many
fronts,
and
even
now,
as
we
look
at
the
economic
challenges
before
us,
we
ask
you
to
give
us
wisdom
that
we
make
the
best
decisions
for
all.
We
thank
you
for
it.
Father
we
give
you
the
praise
in
jesus
name,
amen,
amen.
A
B
Thank
you
mayor
council
members,
my
budget's
pretty
easy.
I've
got
one
little
cost
savings
from
last
year's
budget
to
this
year's
budget.
The
ucf
incubator
is
no
longer
in
apopka.
A
B
Yeah
yeah,
that's
ex
exactly,
and
so
they
have
actually
pulled
out.
So
we
are
paying
the
rent
for
this
month
and
we're
going
to
be
getting
some
of
our
furniture
and
supplies
out
of
the
building
by
the
end
of
the
month,
and
then
it
goes
back
to
advent
health.
So
one
of
the
line
items
that
we
did
have
under
other
contractual
services,
3
400,
that
extra
9
000
from
advent,
health
building
rental
will
be
removed
and
reabsorbed
back
into
the
general
fund.
Also,
so
that's
that's
a
big
one.
B
The
other
item
that
staff
in
finance
is
working
on
is
the
online
permitting
software,
which
was
for
building
building
its
building
permits
and
planning,
and
zoning
and
business
tax
receipts.
That
was
in
the
budget
last
year
for
a
total
of
about
fifty
thousand
dollars.
If
we
can't
get
that
going
this
year
depending
on
a
piggyback
contract,
that's
under
review
that'll
get
rolled
over
into
next
year's
budget,
but
so
that
might
be
another.
Fifty
thousand
dollar
change
savings
and-
and
it
probably
won't
be
a
total
of
fifty
thousand
dollars.
B
We
we
aired
on
the
side
of
caution
and
put
it
put
more
than
what
we
figured.
It
probably
would
be.
B
We
got
very
good
responses
from
everybody.
We've
contacted
in
regards
to
that.
That's
citizen
serve
right
now
and
then
the
only
other
thing
that
we
did
put
into
the
building
coat
or
building
section
is
the
florida
building
code
books
from
2017.
If
we
get
an
update
on
the
2018,
we
will
but
that's
884.
B
B
So
other
than
that,
the
budget's
pretty
lean,
we
haven't
really
changed
a
whole
lot.
We
still
have
some
money
for
boots
for
the
inspectors,
which
is
you
know,
required,
got
to
have
that
steel-toed
boots
for
them.
Some
shirts,
I
didn't
do
anything
last
year.
I
may
do
some
this
year,
but
again
you
know
the
cautionary
flag.
Is
that
if
we're
too
tight
on
the
budget,
I'm
not
going
to
spend
the
money,
I
want
to
see
how
we
do
on
the
on
the
budget
first
and
we
can
save
100
or
200
bucks
here
there.
B
A
Questions
just
curious,
of
course,
we're
working
with
the
chamber
with
economic
development,
we're
not
backing
off
they're,
correct.
B
B
The
one
item
that
we
are
putting
the
the
surplus
property
for
sale
at
park,
ave
and
sandpiper
that
should
be
going
out
to
bid
on
friday
and
we're
looking
for
bids
to
be
submitted
by
this
or
september
11th.
And
that's
based
on
the
appraised
price
of
about
little
over
1.2
million.
We
did
take
out
about
a
third
of
an
acre
for
the
realignment
of
sandpiper
so
that
we
can
shift
that
a
little
bit
to
the
south
and
line
that
up
for
a
a
potential
traffic
light
so
that
that
will
help
that
corner.
B
A
D
Only
question
I
would
have
is
you
know,
other
departments
on
monday
and
tuesday
had
some
wishlist
items.
Are
there
anything
that
you
don't
have
in
your
budget
that
you
think
is
critical
for
the
success
next
year.
B
B
As
our
staff
levels
are,
are
pretty
decent
right
now,
we're
we're
short
of
secretary
right
now,
but
fortunately
I've
got
some
really
good
planners
that
are
making
do,
and
we
don't
know
what's
going
to
end
up
happening
this
next
year
with
any
economic
slowdown.
B
E
All
right
thanks
all
right
good
evening,
so
I
do
have
a
just
highlights
of
proposed
expenditures
for
parks
and
rec.
But
before
I
get
into
that,
I
do
you
know
we
do
bring
in
income
in
in
recreation.
So
I
wanted
to
go
through
some
of
our
current
numbers,
so
all
of
last
fiscal
year,
recreation
brought
in
750
000
and
then
up
through
june
30th
of
last
year.
We
brought
in
560
and
up
through
june
30th
of
this
year,
including
refunds,
and
we
refunded
all
of
spring
soccer.
It's
at
2
40..
So
we're
on
that.
E
Our
expenses
this
year
so
far
are
down
60
thousand
dollars
from
last
year
and
we
also
have
about
350
000
worth
of
open
pos
where
some
of
that
money
is
going
to
be
spent,
but
some
of
it
isn't
so
there'll
be.
It
should
be
some
additional
savings
in
there
and
then
before
I
forget
when
I
go
through
this
presentation
and
we
talk
about
events
we
bring
in,
we
offset
some
of
the
event
costs
with
about
eighty
five
thousand
dollars
in
sponsorships
for
that.
E
So
when
we
get
to
that
because
I'll
probably
forget
as
we
go
forward,
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
all
right.
So
our
department
now
includes
3512
and
3513,
which
is
cemetery,
maintenance
and
parks
and
city
grounds
maintenance,
and
they
were
in
public
services.
We
kind
of
had
joint
custody
of
those
areas
and
this
this
made
it
simpler
and
now
I'm
a
single
parent
of
those
areas.
E
So
as
far
as
that
goes,
there
was
a
lot
of
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
coordination
that
went
with
that
and
just
try
to
make
this
operationally
more
efficient.
And
you
know,
parks
and
recreation
is
standard.
You
know
it's
pretty
much
what
I've
been
used
to
throughout.
We
also
have
northwest
complex
grounds,
maintenance
and
then
athletics
is
our
leagues,
our
soccer
flag,
football,
basketball
and
events
and
activities.
E
Of
course,
the
events
at
the
amphitheater
plus,
you
know
halloween
and
easter,
and
you
know
the
easter
egg
hunt
and
things
of
that
nature,
plus
the
programs
of
frank
carlton
camp
and
the
billy
dean
community,
center
programs
and
williams
park
programs.
So,
and
you
see
the
total
operating
and
total
capital
expenses
there.
So
just
some
highlights
from
operating
expenditures
in
cemeteries,
I'm
going
to
put
in
22
thousand
dollars
to
survey
the
cemetery,
so
we
could
prepare
that
for
future
use
and
then
moving
down.
E
I
want
to
this
is
not
a
change
in
budget
numbers.
This
wasn't
an
addition,
but
we
took
two.
We
already
had
one
inmate
crew,
one
department
of
correct
corrections,
work
crew.
As
part
of
my
department
that
I
managed
when
I
got
35
12
and
35
13,
I
got
another
one.
I
want
to
reallocate
funds
from
that
to
to
the
contract
mode,
the
contract
that
we
have
that's
mowing
the
right-of-ways.
E
I
want
to
reallocate
that,
so
we
can
focus
our
staff
and
in
our
personnel
resources
in
the
areas
that
matter
like
caitlin
nelson
park,
edwards
field,
around
city
hall,
around
vfw,
and
we
can
send
the
contractor
out
to
places
like
the
firing
range
and
and
the
fire
training
center
and
things
like
that
kayla
nelson
park.
I
added
funds
in
for
a
mosquito
control
contract,
and
then
we
also
added
funds
to
remove
that
debris,
pile
and
also
to
make
some
other
areas
safe
around
northwest
for
mowing
from
that
tree.
E
Removal
project,
so
all
the
you
can't
see
any
tree
stumps,
but
there's
so
much
debris
and
it
just
it
would
destroy
our
equipment
if
we
went
in
and
tried
the
bush
hog
it
right
now,
so
it's
got
to
be.
It's
got
to
be
picked
up
properly
so
that
we
can.
We
can
maintain
that
properly
as
you
get
into
the
operating
expenditures.
Now
our
operating
expenditure-
it's
it's
mainly
flat
from
last
year.
E
I
think
it's
like
26
000
increase
overall
over
the
course
course
of
the
entire
department
and
included
in
that
was
a
parks,
design
consultant
when
we
get
into
future
planning-
and
you
know
we
put
millions
of
dollars
into
field
expansion
at
northwest.
I'm
going
to
put
money
in
to
have
that
design
from
a
consultant
from
somebody
who
does
this
and
you
know
flats
here,
and
he
does
a
great
job.
E
But
I
want
to
consult
get
somebody
that
builds
fields
for
a
living
to
do
that,
and
vlad
also
only
has
15
hours
a
day
to
work,
so
our
piggyback
contract
for
the
highway
direction
for
the
holiday
holiday
decorations
that
piggyback
contract
expired,
so
we're
gonna
have
to
find
another
contract
or
bid
that
out
and
there'll
probably
be
some
higher
fees
on
that
also
included
some
funds
for
year-round
decorative
lighting
at
killer
nelson
park,
which
would
be
a
nice
touch
for
the
farmers
market
to
have
some
some
decorative
lighting
around
there.
E
For
that,
and
we
re
allocated
funds
to
provide
for
a
concert
series
30
concerts
rather
than
having
one
big
event.
The
the
concert
series
that
we're
doing
monthly
do.
30
of
those,
and
then
we
could
have
some
consistent.
You
know
consistency
in
increased
crowds
and
consistent
entertainment
and
events
for
the
community.
E
When
we
talk
about
events
going
through
because
it's
kind
of
piecemeal
when
you
go
through
3613,
so
this
kind
of
sets
it
in
a
when
you
get
the
total
cost.
So
how
we're
going
to
try
to
do
it
in
calendar
order
a
bit
halloween
cost
14,
680
veterans
day,
21
950
tree
lightings,
almost
24
000.,
the
symphony
two
shows
for
52
000
total.
So
twenty
six
thousand
a
show
and
the
concert
series
is
you
put
in
sixty
thousand
total
for
thirty-
shows
and
then
tribute
bands
an
average
of
twenty
seven
five.
E
A
show
hometown
concert,
hometown
concert
is
local
apopka
bands
to
come
out
and
perform
on
the
stage
so
in
in
the
amphitheater,
our
easter
egg
hunt
and
july
4th
is
almost
74
000,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
we
can
do
that
for
less.
We
did
it
for
less
last
year.
We
can
do
it
for
less
a
lot
of
that.
E
You
know
there's
about
twenty
thousand
for
the
fireworks
itself
and
then
plus
insurance
and
then
there's
barricades
and
porta,
potties
and
and
the
bounce
houses,
and
then
entertainment
is
another
30
000,
but
we
can
do
that
for
less.
E
E
Then
we
look
at
capital.
We
do
need
a
storage
building
in
the
frank
carlton
area
that
for
grounds
and
cemetery
right
now
they
kind
of
have
piecemeal
like
almost
regular
home
sized
garages,
and
we
also
need
a
bush
hog
to
help
right
now.
They're
they're,
on
small
they're,
on
small
mowers
that
are,
you
know
about
48
inches
wide
and
we
get
a
bush
hog
in
there
to
get
that
done
in
a
third
of
the
time.
E
You
know
when
we
go
to
places
like
edwards
field
and
that's
a
piece
of
equipment
that
we
could
share
within
a
department.
Groundmaster
is
a
virtual
machine
that
also
that
moe's
and
grooms
in
fields
like
to
add
shade
to
the
tennis
courts
like
ted
a
changeable
letter
sign
at
northwest,
where
the
fire
station
is
right.
Now,
there's
a
spot
that
we
hang
banners
it's
kind
of
inefficient.
If
we
could
put
a
changeable
letter
sign
there,
then
we
could
have
multiple
events
promoted
at
the
same
time.
E
Toro
is
something
we've
been
doing
this
year
and
year
out,
trying
to
turn
over
our
old
vehicles.
We
have
old
gators
that
go
back
15
years
that
are
unpleasant
and
and
expensive
to
maintain
and
moonlights
are
those
nice
lights
to
kind
of
kind
of
blow
up,
and
if
we
we
bought
some
of
we
bought
a
couple
of
those.
E
Then
it
would
reduce
our
rental
cost
on
on
them,
they're,
they're,
surprisingly
expensive,
but
but
they're
great
they're
great
for
our
events
and
then
frank
carlton
center,
their
entertainment
system
actually
went
belly
up
right
before
the
summer,
so
they
don't
have
one.
So
you
know
dvd
screen
and
all
that
so
for
future
planning
we're
going
to
survey
the
community.
E
We
have
a
you
know,
there's
20
million
dollars
for
future
planning,
but
we
want
to
survey
the
community
to
prioritize
and
one
of
these
days
I
would
be
able
to
speak
without
tripping
over
my
words
but
survey
community
to
prioritize
the
planning,
I'm
going
to
add
fields.
We've
talked
about
this
before
at
pickleball
courts
and
tennis
courts,
more
restrooms,
new
fran
carlton
center
field
house
dog
park
park
access
roads
parking
in
the
park.
E
You
know,
especially
at
northwest
and
general
use
parks
like
around
harmon
road
and
and
some
other
areas,
maybe
out
by
kelly
park
and
then
once
we
get
to
that
level,
we're
good
on
staffing
now,
but
once
we
get
to
that
and
we
start
building
these
other
things,
we
will
need
more
staff
and
more
equipment
and
supplies
and
storage,
and
all
that
and
our
five
million
dollars
at
that
point
we
would
need
to
be
prepared
to.
You
know,
be
in
the
six
to
seven
million
dollar
range.
E
C
E
F
E
A
F
And
so
the
true
replacement
is
that
done,
I'm
sorry,
the
tree
replacement
at
the
fields.
A
E
A
E
A
D
D
A
Would
be
a
pretty
bad
yeah
I
get
insurance.
Is
it's
just
a
legal.
D
Sure
but
yeah
yeah,
the
only
thing
I
had
was
minor.
So
I
see
it
where
we
have
allocations
in
here
for
the
roof
cleaning
of
the
amphitheater.
Can
we
pressure
wash
the
back
where
it
says
apopka.
E
A
Good,
I
do
have
just
one
thing
on
the
mowers,
as
you
said,
if
we've
only
got
40
inch,
48
inch
wide
blades,
that's
smart
money
to
get
bigger
mowers,
because
it
could
cut
down
on
the
time
right
that
we
need
to
do
so.
That's
something
I
definitely
would
like
to
look
at
as
we're
able
to
with
all
our
excess
funds
right
now,
but
you
know
that
I
think
is-
is
kind
of
a
top
priority.
E
E
A
F
G
Okay.
What
is
that,
basically,
as
for
the
legal
budget,
when
it
comes
to
personnel
costs,
we've
kept
the
budget
lines
pretty
much
similar
to
last
year's
with
just
minimal
increases.
I
think
the
issue
the
biggest
increase
when
it
comes
to
the
legal
and
risk
management
budget,
is
in
liability
and
casualty
insurance.
It's
that's,
namely
of
a
matter
of
the
premiums,
the
cost
of
the
premiums
having
been
increased.
