A

Oh good afternoon, it's so great to be here Oh, nowhere else I'd rather be, but with all your help, I like to call the order. The meeting of the Ways and Means Committee alcohol.

A

Thank you first on the agenda will be the minutes of 10 119 move approval order. New discussion, all in favor opposed motion carries next on. The agenda would be public input anyway. I'd like to speak before this committee. Could please come up by I. Would ask that a couple things number one that if it's a pertains to the animal control that that will be handled at the full board immediately after this meeting and I?

A

Think that's all I think that's denial. It isn't so and at the same thing with the on the bang of DDA, that'll also be handled at the full board meeting. Also so those two things any other thing you can speak about and we'll be learning our the zoom that those could be. A lot of people may be talking today that we live in a time to five minutes other than that. Any one lesson wish to speak.

A

Seeing none we look forward and their petitions and communications that Sheriff and the AT&T donation and so forth, discussion seeing are all in favor. Aye opposed motion carries from the prosecutor contract between the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services in the Bay County Prosecutor for services involving dependent neglect, some before discussion, seeing that all in favor opposed motion carries in the court administrator acceptance of grant awards for discussion.

A

Seeing that all favorite sorry I opposed motion carries from the deputy court administrator preparation to 2018-2019 child care fun. So.

A

For discussion, seeing I used.

B

To beget initiatic quashed, and so this is over budget, then this is a actual supplemental extra money. Yes,.

C

B

We're working on that no Mac has been working out for a long time. The child care fun, trying to get it taken, care of or I think they're trying to get the state to pay some of the upfront costs in some of the cases. So it's a sort of an ongoing effort to try to reduce the colony burden in child care plans. Yes,.

C

That took place, it went into effect, October, 1st, so October 1st state phase first began, and so the state will now forward it can care of all upfront bills.

B

Hopefully, I'll be better. Let's talk, I.

C

Think so they'll see the big dollar signs. First, thank.

A

You, okay, we're all set anyone else sitting that all in favor opposed motion carries I'm the director of environmental affairs and community Community Development, establish of the brownfield redevelopment authority.

D

Environmental Great, Lakes and energy, ok.

E

D

Out from Lansing for to answer questions as well reading.

E

This, when, if and when this brownfield is adapted, is the tip of start immediately.

D

Know what would happen is that um you know I'll just kind of give you a rough overview, no Janet, one joke about the rules on establishing a brownfield redevelopment authority have changed significantly since about the last time we attempted this about 15 years ago, they've gotten much easier, Thank, You, Janet and so they're, not as prescriptive. So we can establish a brownfield authority without.

F

A plan, without any kind of you.

D

Know fool just very descriptive outline of work, but what happens then is that now they've realized that each plan would be site-specific. So, quite honestly, until we get a project there will be. No, we don't need a plan or a tip. You know tips financing plan either.

D

C

Not like a Downtown Development Authority or taxing for Finance Authority, where a district is established, it's a specific and it's dependent on whether or not a property is eligible and there's like five different ways that property can be eligible. I can I, don't know how much information but.

D

This is the first step in the process. There will be, many steps will be back and gp's go into much more detail, but just I know you've got a busy movie, the answer. You know the down-and-dirty of it, you know, Commissioner Kuehne is know we go. It doesn't start right away at all because.

A

You're there answer thank.

G

You now we set this up as a countywide. Does that affect anything whatsoever with municipalities they apparently have brownfields? Can we work together with them on a 20 effort or would one supersede the other or.

C

But if I said you were, a village has their own from the remember. Okay, well,.

D

I think- and that was done specifically and I- know- there's been early outreach by many of you have talked at many of your jurisdictions, we're sure Ryder talked to base city and the units are very open and agreeable, and they do realize that anything we would do would not disrupt their jurisdiction.

D

In effect, what essexville had had a previous brownfields authority, and they were you know again unless you have a project, sometimes it's hard to keep these authorities alive and so they're saying it's a good timing for the county to do it because they were ready to they needed to either resurrect their own or kind of join on with ours.

G

Just as the further coming during one of the get-togethers with the township association, they were all when I made the announcement. They were all really, you know, excited about. You know having the opportunity because they didn't have number one, the resources or the expertise on how to set one open, so I think it's going to be a great thing for Bay County.

G

Thank you. Our thank.

D

You and I want to thank Janet and really to take it just a moment. Oftentimes, it's easy to beat up the state or the regulating authority, but I, just Department of Environmental and Great Lakes and Energy Eagle has been very, very helpful and will continue to be right. Thank.

A

A

Okay, home favorite pose motion carries yeah corporation council.

A

This is the waiver of the ordinance adoption process so far, discussion Commission could yeah.

E

I just got one question: a lot of this was kind of foreign to me until I made a couple of calls, but it's my understanding that this group is the only non-union group at VAV age.

C

E

For this group.

C

E

I, don't know all the details, but I find it kind of.

E

How these 23 earth these folks in unit 23 were Union and are the only group that doesn't have the higher multiplier. I can't figure that one out that.

C

Was based on ago, she well.

E

Or it's not what they negotiate. It's what you both negotiated there. Everybody else has got the 2.25, yet they were Union and they only have the two multiplier. I can't figure that one out so all the other history. That's going on with this I'm, not quite sure. What's going on it's a very small unit, I've heard, but I still can't figure out how to get one unit. It's a bargaining unit and they've got a lower benefit than everybody else. Maybe that's one of the reasons why they certify I, don't know.

E

No I just want you to know how I feel.

A

They what else see all in favor all right most motion carries on top of that we have the retirement ordinance amendment for bay area neck theyhave, your health authority, the multiplier, the move, sport discussion, singing out all favor. All right, opposed motion carries.

A

Excuse me from personnel director, renewal of agreement with brown and brown as bay counties, insurance carrier for workman's compensation and excess liability insurance coverage. So for discussion, seeing none all in favor opposed motion carries the payroll and benefits supervisor in the 2020 ASC and stop-loss contract for 2020 renewal. Some part discussion, seeing that all in favor opposed motion carries from the Department on Aging the rank, II donation.

E

A

Discussion, seeing that all in favor aye opposed motion carries and the purchase of service agreement with the region, seven triple a formal or discussion, seeing that all in favor aye opposed the motion carries next. We have payables for a general center of charms, so we'll support discussion, seeing that all in favor opposed motion carries from the finance officer the analysis of the general fund equity for 2019.

A

The motion to receive receive for discussion, all fair, pose motion carries and executive directive number 2007 11 update motion to receive symbol or discussion, seeing none all in favor aye what she carries, and the gatsby 84 notification possible budget adjustments or discussion. Mr. cook Jim.

E

Maybe you can give us a brief overview on that sure.

F

With the ASB 84 they're asking us to get a better definition of what is being held in trust and agency accounts, and so we have to go through it, so we use them as holding accounts for funds that aren't ours. So this way, they're making us actually show a revenue and expense on our books. Instead of passing it through the balance sheet amount.

F

So it'll, it's actually going to increase our expenses, but have the revenue on the other side, so we're collecting a fee for something normally when we pay it to the state, it would just be a quick pass through through our balance sheet and not be recognized as and expense, so the state is X actually changing this and Gatsby is actually for you to make us put the revenues and expenses in total bucks.

A
