A
First
item
I'd
like
to
go
through
it's
getting
an
early
start
on
a
budget
outlook
for
fiscal
year.
2020
and
I
have
with
me
today
mr.
Agostini
mr.
Stevenson
from
the
department
management
management,
finance
and
Tyler
Smith
on
the
computer
over
there.
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
early
preview
of
where
we
think
the
budget
conversation
will
be
going
as
we
start
it
now
and
which
will
conclude
with
my
presentation
of
a
budget
to
you
in
February
of
2019.
So
let's
go
to
the
first
slide
and
you'll
see
here.
A
That
would
act
as
a
backstop
for
residential
which
was
doing
poorly
and
vice
versa,
of
residential.
If
commercial
is
doing
poorly
residential
will
kick
up.
You'll
see
right
now
that,
essentially
that's
not
happening.
You
have
them
both
sort
of
working
at
pretty
much
the
same
level.
So
we
talked,
we've
talked
a
lot
about
how
about
having
a
50/50
split
in
our
real
estate.
A
As
far
as
other
sources
of
taxes,
which
include
personal
property
and
our
business,
professional
and
occupational
license
tax
and
other
taxes,
you
can
see
that
growth
rate
actually
have
stepped
down
from
where
they
were
in
fiscal
year.
17
to
a
lower
level
below
3%
in
the
forecast
through
21
is
that
they'll
actually
stay
at
that
low
level.
A
So
going
to
the
next
slide,
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
forecast
and
some
of
the
discussions
will
have
about
expenditure
growth.
You
can
see
here
a
couple
of
lines
that
we've
graphed
related
to
expenditure:
growth,
one
for
metro
and
I-
think
you'll
all
remember
in
fiscal
year,
18
that
really
was
an
aberration,
because
we
had
to
step
up
and
provide
an
extra
chunk
of
money
prior
to
reaching
the
regional
agreement,
and
we
have
as
part
of
the
agreement
on
the
operating
side.
A
A
But
you
can
see
that
by
percentages
that
continues
to
grow
year
over
year
somewhere
in
the
vicinity
of
6
to
7
percent,
and
then
we
also
have
had-
and
this
board
has
made
a
commitment-
I've
made
a
commitment
and
to
continuing
to
invest
in
our
workforce
for
competitive
pay.
We're
almost
in
the
full
employment
economy,
it's
been
very
difficult
for
us,
witnessed
the
conversation
we
had
in
the
spring,
about
recruitment
for
public
safety
and
fire
and
police
wanted
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
which
talks
about.
A
Essentially,
what
does
this
all
mean
for
fiscal
year,
2020
and
I'm,
providing
a
range
of
what
I
consider
right
now
to
be
the
gap
between
our
estimated
expenses
and
estimated
revenues?
So
very
clearly,
we
I
do
not
anticipate
at
this
point
that
our
revenue
picture
will
change
measurably
between
now
and
the
end
of
the
year.
We
need
to
do
our
due
diligence
on
that.
There
may
be
some
small
adjustments.
A
The
range
is
actually
a
component
of
what
elements
you
include
in
expenditures
so
walking
through
this
you'll
see
at
the
very
top
if
you've
focused
just
what
I
call
base
expenditure
growth,
which
is
which
is
essentially
carrying
through
on
the
current
mix
of
programs,
we
have
without
adding
anything
new.
We
have
about
a
three
percent
growth
and
that
exceeds
the
revenue
growth
by
about
twice
and
that
leads
about
that
creates
about
around
nine
million
dollars
towards
that
twenty
to
thirty
five
million
dollar
gap
and
I'll.
A
Let
you
all
add
up
the
other
pieces
which
make
up
the
balance
of
it.
That
gets
you
up
to
thirty
five
million
dollars
and
I
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
some
of
those
other
pressures,
for
example,
in
affordable
housing
and
state
of
good
repair
and
some
of
the
some
of
these
items.
There
are
a
little
bit
different
from
each
other
about
whether
they're
on
gonna
be
ongoing
costs
or
one-time
costs
in
very
small
print
in
honor
of
mr.
A
Chadwick,
who
is
here,
you'll
see
that
this
does
not
include
ApS
funding
needs
which
are
currently
estimated
at
a
gap
between
of
expenses
and
revenues
at
forty
three
million
dollars,
and
it
doesn't
talk
about
the
additional
metro
subsidy.
There
might
be
occasioned
by
some
of
the
wage
issues
that
mr.
Dorsey
referenced
in
his
presentation.
A
So,
just
to
remind
everybody
where
we
were
in
fiscal
nineteen,
where
this
board
decided
to
land
when
it
came
to
issues
surrounding
the
budget.
We
faced
when
I
proposed
the
budget,
a
gap
of
about
twenty
point,
five
million
dollars-
and
this
is
what
the
board
did
an
adoption
in
April
to
close
that
gap.
There
were
three
components
and,
as
you
can
see,
about
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
spending
reductions
and
programs,
five
and
a
half
million
in
funding
realignments.
That
was
really
moving.
A
Some
costs
off
of
the
general
fund
to
other
fund
sources
and
then
the
utility
tax
was
increased
in
April
and
then
we
had
the
user
fee
increases
the
main
one
being
the
increase
in
parking
meter
rates.
So
you
can
see
those
three
components
when
added
up
got
us
to
the
twenty
point:
five
million
dollar
gap.
A
Now,
let's
fast-forward
to
where
we
are
for
fiscal
20,
we
have
the
same
graphic
and
you
can
see
that
at
a
minimum,
we're
going
to
have
a
20
million
dollar
issue
somewhere
between
twenty
and
thirty
five
million
dollars,
and
so
what
I'm?
What
my
point
here
is
that,
as
we
face
the
issue
of
this
year,
as
opposed
to
last
year,
we
have
lost
some
of
the
flexibility
we
had
last
year
about
making
some-
I
I
don't
even
call
them
easy,
but
some
of
the
decisions
we
made
last
year.
A
So
some
of
the
things
that
we
will
be
thinking
through
over
the
next
months
is
how
to
handle
what
we
will
bring
to
the
board
in
October
for
advertisement
and
essentially
adoption
in
November
our
closeout
recommendations,
which
is
that
the
prior-year
fund
balance
in
the
past
has
provided
a
ever
reducing
cushion
for
dealing
with
non-recurring
budget
issues.
Based
on
the
information
I
received
to
date.
A
The
closeout
amounts
available
for
this
board
to
consider
in
tober
November
will
actually
be
higher
than
they
have
been
over
the
last
few
years,
and
that
is
an
artifact
of
steps
that
county
department
heads
made
to
hold
off
on
hiring
anticipating
some
of
the
reductions
that
we're
going
to
take
place
in
fiscal
year.
Nineteen,
so
that
will
provide
us.
Some
flexibility-
and
we've
mentioned
this
in
the
past,
but
it's
a
point
you'll
hear
from
me
many
times
and
from
mr.
Agostini
and
mr.
Stevenson.
A
If
they
ever
get
you
cornered
in
an
alley
run
because
they
will
talk
about
County
Reserve's
and
how
the
rating
agencies
have
made
the
point
that
we
currently
have
a
5%
reserve
of
arge
for
our
general
fund
and
that
compares
with
our
comparator
triple-a
jurisdictions,
which
most
of
them
are
ten
percent.
There's
been
very
explicit
statements
made
by
Moody's
and
allusions
by
the
other
rating
agencies
that
the
county
needs
to
do
more
in
that
area
to
increase
their
reserves.
A
We
will
see
what
I
propose
on
that,
but
usually
in
the
past,
when
we've
increased
our
reserves,
we
have
used
this
one-time
funding,
that's
available
and
closed
out
and
that's
an
increase
that
is
shared
both
by
the
county
and
schools.
So,
if
we
increase,
if
the
schools
would
have
to
contribute
a
like
amount,
then
I
have
done
the
last
bullet.
I
call
an
unofficial,
hiring
slowdown
and
actually
I,
don't
know
whether
it's
unofficial
official,
but
it's
actually
something.
That's
in
process.
A
Department
heads
will
have
a
chance
to
determine
which
ones
are
a
priority,
need
for
them,
and
I
specifically
told
our
police
chief
in
our
acting
fire
chief
to
not
hold
off
on
any
hiring
to
proceed
with
hiring
in
both
of
those
areas
consistent
with
the
direction
we
received
from
the
board
and
I
think
the
importance
of
that
so
I
wanted
to
without
sort
of
making
too
big
a
point
about
it.
I
will
be
reporting
back
to
the
board
on
a
regular
basis
as
to
what
impacts
you
may
see
in
fiscal
year.
A
Nineteen
that's
starting
now
and
a
potential
degradation
of
services
where
we
are
not
filling
vacancies
and
the
staff
that
the
board
anticipated
in
the
community
anticipated
would
be
available
to
carry
out
programs.
We
may
not
have
as
much
of
that
staff
on
hand
as
we
had
anticipated
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
and
so
it
may
take
longer
for
us
to
provide
certain
services
to
people
and
I
want
them
to
be.
Mindful
of
that.
That's
really,
in
my
experience.
A
The
best
way
to
provide
flexibility
for
this
board
and
for
me
and
proposing
a
budget
is
to
not
go
out
and
hire
people
that
you
simply
are
going
to
have
to
turn
around
and
potentially
let
go
five
or
six
months
later.
It's
not
a
good
practice
and
there's
a
challenge
in
there
to
determining
what
is
critical
and
there's
some
level
of
discretion
there.
So
I'll
be
having
conversations
with
the
board
about
that
and
updating
the
community.
So
let's
go
to
the
last
slide,
which
is
the
timeline
we
don't
even
have
September
on
the
timeline.
A
So
that's
how
special
this
is
we're,
starting
with
this
I
call.
First
briefing
I'm
going
to
be
hosting
a
virtual
Town
Hall
on
October
17th.
We
did
one
for
the
capital
improvement
plan
who
worked
very
well
where
I
stand
in
a
room
with
about
10
people
and
thousands
of
people
are
watching
online
as
we
livestream
it,
and
we
get
hundreds
of
questions
in
and
we
answer.
B
Manager,
thank
you
and
I.
Am
it's
helpful
actually
that
you've
provided
these
dates
to
us
because
I
think
it
contextualizes?
Is
you
noted
this
is
a
little
bit
of
an
earlier
presentation
but
I
think
given
the
the
severity
of
the
challenges
before
us,
it
makes
sense
for
the
board
and
the
broader
community
to
begin
to
grapple
with
some
of
the
implications.
But,
as
you
noted
well,
we'll
see
close
out
funding
proposals
next
month
and
either
next
month
or
in
November.
This
board
will
take
action
on
budget
budget
guidance.
B
It's
traditionally
been
more
in
the
November
timeframe
again,
given
the
somewhat
unusual
circumstances
and
actually
what
the
manager
indicated
with
regard
to
some
of
the
hiring
slowdown.
It
may
be
helpful
to
him
to
have
that
guidance
a
little
bit
earlier,
and
so
we
may
as
a
board,
attempt
to
give
that
earlier
in
October
of
this
year,
so
wanted
to
provide
that
framing,
but
for
now
I
think
mr.
manager,
you've
provided
us
with
it.
C
Thank
you,
the
other
issue.
That's
here,
I
really
appreciate
the
early
report
cuz.
This
really
is
very
different.
The
other
issue
that
you
didn't
touch
on
and
I'm
thinking-
maybe
not
here
but
perhaps
is
we
have
the
public
conversation
is
about
the
federal
level
and
the
state
and
local
tax
reductions
and
I
asked,
and
you
guys
sent
a
great
memo
which
I
read
through
and
then
I
had
printed
out.
C
I
think
we
need
to
be
talking
to
our
residents
and
also
to
our
legislators,
because
we
are
kind
of
getting
starved
more
and
more
and
they're
kind
of
getting
fatter
and
fatter,
and
maybe
they
need
to
share
a
little
bit
more.
So
we
can
continue
to
provide
services
without
bankrupting
our
residents.
So
I
think
that's!
That's
part.
C
We
don't
usually
talk
about
that
kind
Nexxus
or
that
that
sort
of
connection,
but
I
think
this
time
we
probably
need
to
and
need
to
start
doing
it
early,
because
it's
a
little
complex
and
help
people
kind
of
get
their
heads
around
what
the
new
situation
is
so
I
just
sort
of
throw
that
as
a
suggestion.
I,
don't
know
that
we
want
to
get
into
it
here.
As
I
say
it's
I
know
it's
fairly
complex,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
people
to
understand.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
D
D
A
Thank
you
for
that
question.
In
the
last
year
we
sent
out
members
of
the
my
department
heads
to
have
host
conversations
and
source
in
smaller
groups,
and
we
are
considering
doing
that.
We
also
have
done
something
this
year
that
we
do
every
three
or
four
years,
which
is.
We
have
sent
out
a
survey
to
County
residents,
a
satisfaction
survey.
A
We
have
done
something
different,
though,
for
this
satisfaction
survey,
we've
added
questions
about
budget
priorities,
and
so
we
should
be
getting
that
information
back
and
hopefully
be
able
to
report
to
the
board
in
the
community
in
October
to
get
a
sense,
a
statistically
valid
sense
about
what
the
community's
expectations
and
priorities
are.
So
I
think
everything
that
we
did
last
year
is
still
on
the
table.
We
haven't
refined
the
schedule
on
that.
We
had
a
lot
of
conversations
and
a
lot
of
online
opportunities
for
input.
So,
as
you
know,
mr.
A
B
And
a
great
point
to
make
our
community
primed
and
aware
of
those
engagement
opportunities,
because
we
will
be
keen
to
hear
from
them
Thank
You
mr.
manager.
This
is
the
the
end
of
the
very
beginning
of
what
I
think
will
be
a
fun
conversation
in
the
months
to
come.
