A
A
B
Of
Michigan
County
of
Bay,
the
Fayette
County
Board
of
Commissioners
and
the
bay
County
Executive
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
Bay
County,
are
proud
to
present
a
special
recognition
to
an
Arnold
in
honor
of
her
17
years
of
devoted
public
service
to
Bay
County.
As
an
employee
of
the
Michigan
State
University
Extension
Service
dated
October
10
2017.
G
A
J
H
H
Herrick
County
Executive
Irish
on
members
of
board
of
commission.
We
really
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
give
you
an
update
on
what's
been
happening
with
wedeck.
There
are
two
members
myself
and
another
member
of
our
team
here
with
you.
Today
we
are
the
18th
really.
My
name
is
Mary
coulis
and
I'm,
the
community
affairs
manager
and
I'm
gonna.
Let
any
me
introduce
yourself:
I
am.
H
Thank
you
all
right,
thanks,
Amy,
okay,
so
I'm,
basically
going
to
take
you
to
the
point
of
how
we,
how
we
got
here
and
then
Amy
is
the
technical
person
and
she's
going
to
get
into
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
actual
project
itself,
which
is
very
interesting,
so
I
I.
Think
most
of
you
are
all
very
familiar
with
the
JC
wedeck
plant
that
operated
from
1940
up
until
last
year.
H
So
of
course
in
2011
we
were
faced
with.
You
know
a
couple
of
different
things:
the
market
forces,
as
well
as
some
upcoming
environmental
regulations.
That
really
would
have
required
a
unit-by-unit
environmental
equipment
retrofit
on
each
of
the
units,
and
it
was
just
too
costly
to
of
a
burden
to
put
on
each
one
of
those
units.
So
what
a
qunit
7
and
as
well
as
five
other
units
in
are
generating
fleet,
they
included
our
plant
in
Muskegon
and
then
another
plant
in
Monroe
County.
H
So
you
know
basically,
you
know
the
good
news
about
this
is
that
with
the
employees
that
were
at
what
I
pay
transitioned
into
other
roles,
either
they
went
over
to
Karn.
They
went
to
other
positions
within
the
company,
or
else
they
retired.
So
we
didn't
have
any
job
loss
as
a
result
of
that
it
was.
You
know,
as
a
result
of
very
good
planning,
but
now
we're
really
ready
to
move
forward.
H
We've
moved
ahead
the
schedule
for
the
actual
decommissioning
process,
which
Amy
is
going
to
detail
for
you,
but
we've
been
able
to
move
it
ahead
about
a
year
ahead
of
schedule.
So
we
do
have
people
who
are
mobilizing
now
to
get
us
into
the
decommissioning
stage.
So
with
that
I'm
gonna,
let
Amy
take
it
from
here.
K
This
is
a
high
level.
Look
our
project
schedule
for
the
wedeck
decommissioning,
so,
like
Mary
mentioned
right
now,
we
are
beginning
with
demolition
of
outbuildings
on
the
site,
so
some
of
our
coal
handling
and
ash
handling
buildings
demolishing
will
start
in
2017
we're
also
starting
abatement
of
regulated
materials
within
the
main
building
on
site.
So
by
regulating
materials,
I
mean
things
like
asbestos
that
have
specific
requirements
for
how
they
can
be
collected
and
disposed,
and
that
will
last
for
about
a
year
into
late
2018
the
abatement
portion
of
the
project.
K
That's
because
the
smaller
chimneys
actually
have
abatement
that
has
to
occur
first,
they
have
a
ACM
coding
item
and
asbestos-containing
coding
and
then
finally,
in
2018,
towards
the
end
of
the
year,
we'll
begin
demolition
of
the
main
plant
structure,
which
will
also
last
about
a
year
into
you,
know,
midway
through
2019
and
ending
with
site
restoration
in
2019
which
to
us
means
back
filling
the
basement
top
soil
seeding
it.
So
we're
left
with
a
grassy
field
there
or
the
what
I
plant
stood.
K
This
is
a
visual
of
that
schedule.
So
in
an
aerial
view
here
you
see
the
Saginaw
River
on
the
Left
north
is
what
we're
starting
this
year
in
2017
is
shown
here,
shaded
in
blue.
So
on
the
north
end,
you
see
our
coal
conveyors.
That
abatement
is
going
on
right.
Now,
demolition
will
start
soon
in
those
areas
toward
the
right
side
of
that
photo
or
the
east
side.
K
The
ash
silo
is
highlighted,
so
there's
already
demolition
occurring
out
at
our
ash,
handling,
silo
area
and
also
the
switchyard
just
east
of
the
plant,
so
the
substation
that
served
the
plant
will
be
demolished.
This
fall
as
well
all
that
equipment
will
be
removed
and
then
next
highlighted
in
yellow
you
see
that
chimney
demolition
to
the
south,
so
the
large
500
foot
chimney
will
be
demolished
in
early
2018.
K
We're
also
entertaining
an
option
to
pull
that
schedule
ahead
and
possibly
mobilize
on
that
chimney
late
this
year,
if
we're
able
to
and
finally
highlighted
in
red
there,
you
see
the
main
plant
structure.
So
abatement
is
starting.
This
fall
in
the
main
plant
structure,
but
demolition
of
that
will
not
occur
until
2018
2019.
K
With
consumers,
safety
is
always
our
number
one
focus.
We
work
closely
with
our
contractors
to
review
their
work
plans,
make
sure
they're
selecting
safe
methods
for
their
work.
We
also
carefully
monitor
changing
conditions
on
the
site,
especially
whether
in
a
project
like
this
along
the
river
and
redirect
work
as
needed,
based
on
whether
they
day
20:16
was
the
safest
year
for
consumers
energy
in
our
history.
So
we
plan
to
continue
that
trend,
especially
on
this
project.
K
Public
safety
is
also
critical.
In
2016,
when
we
took
the
plants
offline,
we
did
have
our
local
first
responders
on-site
just
to
familiarize
them
with
the
site,
and
we
plan
to
continue
to
do
that
as
conditions
change
on
site,
North
American
dismantling
Corporation
has
been
selected
as
our
general
contractor
for
the
abatement,
dismantling
and
demolition
of
wedeck.
They
are
based
in
the
Pure
Michigan.
So
this
feeds
right
into
our
Michigan
based
business
initiative
with
consumers,
energy.
K
They
also
have
a
great
safety
record,
which
was
no
small
part
in
selecting
them
for
this
work,
and
we
work
positively
with
them.
In
the
past
they
did
some
demolition
of
the
precipitators
on
our
carne
wetalk
site.
In
about
2011
and
they've
also
worked
on
the
west
side
of
the
state
for
consumers,
energy.
K
This
is
just
a
visual
for
you
of
how
demolition
of
the
main
plant
structure
will
appear
if
you're,
seeing
it
from
the
river
or
off
site.
This
is
an
example
photo
from
north
american
dismantling
of
a
similar
project
at
a
power
plant.
You
can
see
their
high
reach
excavator
here
they
work
cutting
from
the
top
down,
so
they
don't
create
any
structural
instability.
K
They
start
from
the
top
down
and
they
have
water
sprays
right
on
the
stick
of
the
excavator,
as
well
as
additional
booms,
so
they
control
dust
right
as
they
work
and
as
that
acquit
or
that
material
comes
down
to
the
ground,
they
have
additional
excavators
with
grapples
sorting
it
immediately
into
scrap
dumpsters,
metal,
dumpsters
or
trash
dumpsters.
So
minimizing
dust
unsafe,
here's
another
example
photo.
This
is
what
the
demolition
of
the
500
foot
stack
will.
Look
like.
This
is
a
patented
machine
owned
by
international
chimney
corporation.
K
We
are
subcontracting
to
them
to
do
this
work.
This
is
essentially
a
rotating
jackhammer,
so
they
take
this
machine
and
jack
it
up.
The
center
of
the
stack
using
notches
in
the
interior
once
it's
set
on
top
it
has
wheels
or
rollers,
and
it
rotates
around
the
top
of
the
stack
like
a
corkscrew
jackhammering
four
foot
by
four
foot
sections
and
pulling
these
sections
into
the
stack.
So
then
we
can
clear
out
the
debris
from
the
bottom
of
the
stack
and
they
can
continue
work.
So
we've
chosen
something
like
this:
it
minimizes
personnel
up
there.
K
K
Below
250
feet,
we
don't
need
this
specialized
equipment.
North-American
dismantling
self
performs
this
work
and
they
use
hydraulic.
Pulverizer
hung
from
a
crane.
You
see
here
some.
They
hang
that
pulverizer
from
a
crane
and
there's
an
operator
on
the
ground
that
controls
the
hydraulic
unit
so
again
minimizing
personnel.
You
just
have
one
operator
in
the
crane
one
running
the
hydraulic
unit
and
essentially
crushes
the
concrete
or
munches.
They
say
munches
down
the
stack
so
that
minimizes
dust
and
much
safer
for
the
workers.
H
Thanks
Amy,
so
just
to
recap,
this
is
a
twenty-seven
million
dollar
project.
We're
looking
to
have
about
60
workers
in
support
of
this
effort
include
labors,
and
you
know
other
trades,
skilled,
trades
opportunities
and
certainly
through
our
work
with
Pure
Michigan
Business
connect
we're
committed
to
spending
a
billion
dollars
a
year
with
local
Michigan
goods
and
services.
So
I
mean
that's,
certainly
something
that's
important
to
us.
We
want
to
keep
things
within
the
state
of
Michigan.
We
want
our
state
to
thrive
in
terms
of
the
construction
impacts
and
mitigation.
H
We
don't
expect
to
see
a
huge
increase
in
any
traffic.
Certainly
we
will
be
working
with
the
Road
Commission
in
terms
of
getting
the
required
permits
and
following
the
required,
you
know
path
that
they
would
want
us
to
take
and
in
terms
of
the
noise
dust.
I
think
that
Amy,
you
know,
outlined
this
very
well.
She
said
that
you
know
with
the
spray
nozzles
that
are
on
the
equipment.
As
the
equipment
comes
down,
it
will
help
to
keep
any
kind
of
dust
contained
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
noise
you
will
be
hearing
noise.
H
If
folks
have
questions
I,
don't
know.
If
you
have
been
on
your
you,
don't
we
will
pass
along
the
phone
number
where
you
can
reach
us
if
there's
anyone
that
might
have
any
questions
specific
to
the
project,
if
you
there's
a
number,
that's
just
a
general
voicemail
box
number
where
you
can
leave
your
voicemail
and
someone
from
our
team
will
be
getting
back
with
you.
H
H
F
H
F
Called
natural
gas
this
she
would
have
been
all,
but
it
looked
like
in
Washington
and
they
were
going
to
receive
the
regulations.
Go
back
to
you
know
any
type
of
energy
that
need-
and
maybe
you
look
at
what
technology
I've
done
over
the
last
ten
or
fifteen
years,
bringing
the
cost
of
energy
down
in
the
renewables
whether
it's.
F
H
And
I
think
that
you
bring
up
a
good
point
with
the
recent
decision
to
remove
that
clean
power
plan.
I.
Think
that's
what
you
were
bringing
up.
You
know
at
consumers,
we're
not
really
necessarily
hedging
any
of
our
bets
on
what's
happening
in.
You
know,
federally
from
a
federal
standpoint,
we're
moving
forward
towards
what
is
best
in
you
know,
for
our
customers
and
our
generating
portfolio
and
serving
the
state
of
Michigan.
I
I
H
You
know
that's
a
it's
a
good
question
and
it's
a
hard
question
to
answer.
Really.
It
is
certainly
still
part
of
our
generating
portfolio
and
I
will
also
say
that
we're
continuously
and
I
mean
continuously
with
this
ever
changing
energy
landscape.
We're
always
looking
at
you
know
what
is
going
to
be
the
most
economical
source
generating
source
for
our
customers
in
terms
of
costs.
What
is
happening
out
there
in
in
the
environment?
H
H
H
Do
have
you
know,
we
do
have
small
solar
projects,
but
I
will
tell
you.
Our
focus
has
been
on
the
wind
under
energy
front
and
I
will
also
say
that,
in
keeping
with
the
you
know,
recent
passage
of
the
state's
energy
law
at
the
end
of
last
year.
You
know
our
goal
as
the
utility
is
to
provide
at
least
20%
of
our
generating
capacity
through
through
renewable
energy,
and
wind
is
going
to
continue
to
be
our
focus
for
right
now.
E
E
H
E
H
Yeah
and
thank
you
very
much,
I
appreciate
that
and
I
will
say
that
we
have
been
working
with
the
township
since
well
for
several
years
now,
at
least
since
2011.
You
know
recognizing
that
these
plants
are
going
to
be
going
offline,
so
we've
been
working
with
them
in
terms
of
you
know
the
the
tax
revenue
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
that
it's
no
surprise
to
them,
but
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
What's.
A
K

That's
it
so
if
anybody
who
asked
questions
can
dial
a
lot

because
those

are

they
might

they

you
get
it.
They
might
call
that

leave
a

before
you
get

That's.
A
L
Thank
you
for
having
me
I
appreciate
that
my
name
is
Ron
Willa
I
work
for
Maximus
consulting
I
I
was
responsible
for
the
preparation
of
the
Bay
County
2016
cost
plan,
as
well
as
several
cost
plans.
Prior
to
this
today,
I'd
like
to
discuss
the
purpose
of
the
cost
plan
and
a
high-level
overview
of
what
goes
into
actually
developing
the
cost
plan.
If
there
are
ever
any
questions,
feel
free
to
stop
me
and
we're
probably
not
going
to
get
into
a
lot
of
the
detail
of
the
cost
plan.
L
A
lot
of,
but
if
there
are
ever
any
questions
regarding
the
information
in
the
cost
plan,
you
can
feel
free
to
contact
Jan
or
someone
else
in
the
finance
department
and
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
meet
with
anyone
to
to
go
over
that
detail
today.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
discuss
what
a
title
2
CFR
part
200
cost
plan
is
that
is
that
those
are
the
guidelines
that
we
follow
in
the
preparation
of
the
cost
plan
for
Bay
County.
L
Why
we
follow
those
guidelines,
also
the
steps
involved
in
preparing
that
and
then
also
review
some
of
the
other
uses
of
the
cost
allocation
plan.
So
what
the
title
2
CFR
is.
Is
the
federal
OMB
issued
a
circular
which
discusses
the
guidelines
for
identifying
what
types
of
costs
can
be
charged
to
federal
grant
programs,
both
direct
cost,
as
well
as
indirect
costs,
I'm
primarily
responsible
for
identifying
those
indirect
costs
and
I
need
to
make
sure
the
cost
plan
is
in
compliance
with
those
federal
guidelines.
L
There
are
other
types
of
cost
allocation
plans
that
don't
necessarily
follow
the
federal
guidelines.
Most
municipalities
on
have
the
title
to
cost
plan
prepared.
There
are
a
few
that
have
prepared,
what's
called
a
full
cost
plan.
Typically,
that
would
probably
be
cities
who
use
the
COS
plan
primarily
to
charge
utilities.
L
Water
sewer,
electric,
the
full
cost
plan
would
identify
a
greater
amount
of
indirect
costs,
not
significantly
more,
but
it
would
usually
be
more
but
again
since
that's
not
what
you're
using
are
the
cost
plan
for
and
you're
using
it
primarily
to
recover
indirect
costs
from
federal
programs.
There
may
be
a
few
programs
you
have
that
could
be
charged
from
a
full
cost
plan,
but
the
cost
benefit
of
having
a
full
cost
plan,
just
probably
wouldn't
be
in
your
best
interest.
L
F
L
L
Grants
do
well
in
the
past,
they've
always
sort
of
followed
in
lockstep
with
the
facts
they
required
it
as
well.
However,
it
seems
that
they're
being
more
restrictive
now
they
can
be
more
restrictive
on
their
grant
and
that
case
of
the
childcare
fund.
They
have
their
own
handbook,
which
identifies
indirect
costs
that
are
eligible
and
they
disallow,
and
so
they
can
disallow
cost.
If
you
get
grant
from
other
agencies,
they
can
put
caps
on
the
amount
of
indirect
costs
that
you
can
recover
from
that
grant.
L
F
D
L
Order
to
recover
the
indirect
cost
that
which
I'll
discuss
in
shortly
here
you
do
have
to
have
that
cost
allocation
plan.
Now,
with
the
new
federal
regs
under
the
this
title
in
the
past,
you
always
had
to
have
a
cost
plan.
Now
they
will
allow
you
to
use
what's
called
at
the
minimis
rate,
which
is
a
10%
rate
which
is
less
than
what
you
would
get
using
the
cost
plan.
But
if
you
chose
not
to
have
a
cost
plan
done,
you
could
still
at
least
recover
something
in
the
past.
F
L
L
L
Some
of
the
steps
involved
in
preparing
the
cost
allocation
plan
is
when
I
first
come
on-site
to
do
some
of
my
work,
I'm
collecting
information
from
all
the
different
county
departments.
We
segregate
those
departments
into
two
groups:
the
central
service
departments
that
are
those
are
those
departments
that
provide
support
services
to
other
county
departments
and
then
all
the
other
departments
default
into
the
receiving
departments,
and
those
would
be
the
departments
that
are
benefiting
from
the
services
of
those
central
service
department.
L
Once
we
identify
which
departments
are
the
central
service
departments,
we
then
drill
down
into
all
the
expenses
in
those
departments
to
make
sure
we've
accounted
for
other
expenses
and
to
make
sure
they
qualify
to
be
allocated
they
made.
There
may
be
certain
expenses
within
the
department
that
are
disallowed
and
cannot
be
allocated,
so
we
have
to
make
sure
we've
accounted
for
all
those
expenses
properly.
L
The
biggest
item
is
probably
depreciation,
usually
general
fund
departments
which
make
up
most
of
the
central
service
departments,
don't
record
depreciation
in
their
budgets,
but
if
they
have
equipment
or
in
the
case
of
the
buildings
and
grounds,
we
include
depreciation
on
all
of
the
buildings
that
are
occupied
by
county
departments.
That
depreciation
can
also
be
included
with
the
department's
expensive,
so
you
can
recover
those
costs
as
well.
Once
we
identify
all
those
expenses
that
are
eligible
for
each
central
service
department.
L
We
then
take
those
costs
and
we
interview
the
employees
within
those
departments
to
find
out
what
exactly
it
is
they
do
when
we
find
out
what
they
do
and
how
they
spend
their
time.
We
take
that
cost
and
put
it
into
different
cost
pools
and
then
find
the
most
appropriate
driver
to
spread
those
costs.
So,
in
the
case
of
the
finance
department,
we
may
break
that
department
into
several
hospitals.
L
There
can
be
amounts
payable,
there
can
be
fixed
assets
if
to
be
purchasing
budgeting
and
so
on,
and
each
of
those
cost
pools
have
different
drivers
to
spread
those
costs
in
the
case
of
accounts
payables.
That
may
be
a
number
of
a
count.
It's
payable
transactions
by
department
in
the
case
of
if
they're,
processing
payroll,
although
I
believe
here,
the
majority
of
payroll
is
done
by
the
HR
department,
but
that
may
be
an
FTE
or
a
number
of
paychecks
issue
or
something
of
that
nature.
L
The
costs
of
software
we
use
summarizes
our
this
information
in
the
plan
schedule
a
summary
schedule,
a
in
the
front
of
the
document
and
I
believe
you
should
have
received
the
cost
allocation
plans.
Jan.
There
is
a
summary
schedule
if
you
ever
want
some
to
look
at
that,
that's
the
primary
summary
schedule
that
most
people
reference
to
it
will
list
every
central
service
department,
as
well
as
every
receiving
department.
So
you
can
cross-reference
to
see
how
much
cause
is
being
allocated
to
a
receiving
department
from
each
of
the
central
service
department.
L
So,
if
I
want
to
look
at
the
health
department,
if
the
healthy
partners
allocated
share
of
the
cost
is
400,000,
we
can
see
how
much
is
coming
from
buildings
and
grounds
that
might
be.
You
know
two
hundred
thousand
could
be
in
another
thirty
thousand
from
finance
and
some
from
corporation
council
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
The
schedule
a
is
probably
what
most
people
reference
to.
The
document
itself
is
probably
about
three
hundred
pages.
There's
a
lot
of
detail.
L
I
J
L
L
2016
that
the
arable
central
service
costs
that
were
allocated
in
the
cost
plan
we're
seven
million
two
hundred
and
ninety
seven
thousand
a
slight
decrease
from
the
previous
year,
which
were
seven
million.
Three
hundred
and
eight
thousand,
only
ten
thousand
dollar
decrease.
Well.
In
total,
the
central
service
costs
have
decreased
slightly.
That
doesn't
mean
any
one
individual
department,
because
there
are
so
many
factors
that
impact
how
much
cost
is
allocated
to
a
receiving
department.
L
If
we
could
have
one
department,
such
as
the
human
resources
cost
go
up,
another
department
such
as
finance
could
go
down,
but
because
the
cost
drivers
it
cost
differently
to
each
of
the
receiving
dependents.
Just
because
costs
are
going
down
in
total
doesn't
mean
any
one.
Individual
department
costs
are
going
to
go
down,
but
on
average
they
should
have
gone
down
just
slightly
when
we
prepared
the
cost
plan
and
the
one
item
that
seems
to
really
bother
a
lot
of
people
is,
what's
called
a
roll
forward.
L
If
you
ever
look
through
the
cost
allocation
plan,
you'll
see
a
roll
forward
calculation.
This
is
a
method
to
true
up
the
difference
between
what
was
actually
built
to
a
department
in
a
given
year
versus
what
actually
happened.
For
example,
in
this
year
the
2016
cost
plan,
which
was
just
prepared
that
will
actually
be
used
to
build
the
apartments
in
2018
when
2018
s
cost
allocation
plan
is
prepared.
L
Well,
there'll,
be
a
comparison
between
what
actually
happened
in
2018
with
what
you
actually
build
in
2018
from
the
2016
cos
plan
and
that
difference
gets
rolled
forward
as
an
adjustment.
If
we
find
out
that
you
under
build
the
department
that
difference
gets
added
to
that
cost
plan
and
they
have
to
pay
an
additional
amount
called
the
roll
forward,
if
you
over
build,
there
could
be
a
premise
so
in
any
given
year,
those
roll
forwards
can
play
havoc
with
people's
budgets.
L
If
they
try
to,
you
know,
budget
for
indirect
cost
and
don't
know
what
to
expect,
especially
in
times
of
cost
increasing.
Usually
you
can
expect
those
roll
forwards
to
increase,
but
if
costs
are
decreasing,
hopefully
you
can
also
see
a
corresponding
negative
roll
forward.
But
again
the
roll
are
difficult
to
manage
sometimes,
and
that
seems
to
be
the
one
item.
That
departments
who
are
charged
in
direct
costs
have
the
biggest
problem
with
is
the
roll
forward?
It's
a
timing
issue
and
there's
not
a
whole
lot.
We
can
can
do
about
it.
L
Other
than
that
I
think
that
covers
most
of
the
high
level
information
I
would
like
to
thank
a
lot
of
the
staff
within
the
central
service
departments
that
I
work
with,
especially
than
the
finance
department,
but
several
of
the
others.
They
are
a
valuable
resource
of
information.
They
get
a
lot
of
information
to
me
that
helps
me
to
process
this
and
I
couldn't
accomplish
this
without
their
help.
Thank
you.
A
E
Yes,
when
I
make
a
few
yes
yeah.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
say
the
2018
executive
proposed
budget
represents
140
million
dollars,
total
county
spending
increase
over
last
year's
2017
funding,
though
of
the
3
million
dollar
entities.
However,
73%
comes
from
millets
funded
activities,
so
will
not
have
an
impact
on
the
general
fund
are
killing
the
retirement
fund
and
our
fund
balance
levels
continue
to
be
strong
and
certainly
at
a
tremendous
value
of
the
assets.
E
We
continue
to
strive
to
find
new
funding
sources
to
cover
our
capital
needs
and
requests,
and
recently
we
have
good
news
and
I've
attended
some
groundbreakings,
especially
in
the
western
part
of
Bay
County
out
of
Williams
Township,
a
lot
of
investment
going
on
in
the
park.
The
industrial
park
out
in
Wayne's
Township,
two
new
businesses,
starting
forty-eight
thousand
square
foot
buildings
that
will
provide
an
employee
in
the
near
future
when
those
projects
are
completed.
E
Also,
the
Dow
Chemical
expansion,
100
million
dollar
expansion
and
Williams-
don't
want
Township,
that's
expected
to
take
about
18
to
20
months.
Repeat
that
and
we
won't
get
a
full
capture
we'll
get
about
a
half
50%
of
the
the
taxes
will
be
levied
on
that
site.
What
were
the
about?
200
research
and
development
jobs
will
be
created
in
Bay
County,
so
those
are
positive
signs
for
hopefully
2018
at
the
end
of
2018
or
2019.
E
We
will
begin
to
see,
hopefully,
an
increase
in
revenue
collections
from
property
tax
payers,
well,
Bay,
County
and
think
that
continues
remain.
Our
major
challenge.
Retain
population,
create
jobs,
keep
people
here
and
expand
our
tax
base
so
that
we
can
continue
by
the
central
services
of
a
County
residents
have
always
relied
on
and
want
to
expect
to
continue
in
the
future.
That's
why
I
do
want
to
say
the
budget
does
can
see
contains
some.
E
We
believe
a
branch
will
hopefully
ultimately
be
totally
unbalanced.
I
want
to
say,
I
would
call
to
the
commissioners
have
another
legislator
for
34
years
the
executive
proposes
and
the
legislative
branch
the
commissioners
disposes,
but
we
hope
you
what
kind
of
man
sends
requests.
Thank
you
very
much
for
listening
and
we
look
forward
to
your
presentation.
Thank.
N
You
so
I'm
here
today
and
I'm
Jan
hi
stead
the
finance
director
for
Bay
County.
If
you
don't
know
me
and
I'm
here,
to
give
our
recommendations
for
the
2018
budget
and
the
indirect
cost
plan
that
Ron
talked
about.
The
16
plan
is
incorporated
into
this
2018
budget.
It
is
a
two-year
lag
and
so
that
information
takes
a
little
bit
to
firaon
to
actually
put
together.
N
So
it's
a
very
lengthy
process
and
there's
a
lot
involved
in
it
and
it's
all
sort
of
commingled
between
all
of
the
departments-
and
you
know,
did
the
roll
forwards
and
the
different
things
as
Ron
had
mentioned,
really
do
play
a
part
and
do
change
the
budgets
by
Department
every
year,
and
sometimes
when
you
see
something
drastic
is
it's
a
you
know,
$100,000
more
than
the
budget
was
the
previous
year.
Sometimes
it's
really
just
indirect
cost.
N
J
N
Three
million
from
137
million
in
2017,
some
of
the
main
areas
that
you
see
are
the
medical
care
facility,
general
fund,
the
self
insurance
health
fund
and
the
nine
one
service
fun,
as
Jim
mentioned.
73%
of
that
which
is
our
medical
care
in
our
911
based
and
that
represents
a
2.2
million
dollar
increase.
F
N
F
N
N
We
actually
are
starting
to
try
to
use
some
of
that
fun
balance
because,
as
our
auditors
come
in
each
year,
they
don't
like
to
see
too
much
sitting
in
that
fund
balance
too.
So
we
don't
want
to
assess
a
cost
to
Grants
and
other
agencies
when
we
have
the
additional
funds
sitting
there,
so
they
try
to
find
a
happy
medium
of
what
they
believe
based
on
their
claims.
N
What
is
a
safe
level
to
have
and
that
fund
balance-
and
we
have
been
budgeting
to
use
funds
than
that
each
year,
so
that'll
be
coming
drastically
down
a
little
bit,
so
I'm
gonna
focus
on
the
general
fund
side.
These
are
the
general
fund
budgeted
revenues.
We
have
taxes
at
fifteen
million
nine
hundred
sixty
five
thousand
taxes
make
up
forty.
Six
percent
of
our
revenue
with
state
grants
and
other
financing
coming
in
other
financing
is
our
transfers
in
and
our
indirect
costs.
N
So
that's
where
you're
gonna
find
some
of
the
reimbursements
coming
in
for
the
indirect
side
of
it,
and
then
our
other
revenue
are
our
reimbursements
and
contributions
and
then
our
charges
for
services.
These
have
stayed
roughly
the
same.
We're
starting
to
try
to
find
additional
revenue
sources
that
will
cover
some
of
the
expenditures
that
we
have
and
we'll
be
looking
at,
that
our
levy
tax
rate
for
the
county
operating
is
five
point.
Seven
two
five
seven
mills
and
is
the
same
as
as
it
wasn't,
2017.
N
N
Our
2018
general
funds
and
expenditures
based
on
category
again
wages
and
benefits
are
roughly
22
million,
make
up
61
percent
of
all
of
our
expenditures.
So
if
you
look
through
it's
the
majority
of
our
budget,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
movement
or
when
we
say
we
want
to
cut
costs,
it's
harder
to
find
those
cuts
when
it's
on
the
wage
and
benefits
side
doesn't
give
us
a
whole
lot
of
movement.
N
N
We
have
three
part-time
positions
in
the
animal
control
area
and
one
full-time
in
one
part-time
in
the
cloud
County
Clerk's
office,
the
one
percent
lump
sum
are
three
personal
days
as
negotiated
are
included
in
this
budget
and
it
represents
roughly
one
hundred
and
forty-one
thousand
five
eighties,
the
Health
Insurance
Fund,
and
this
is
where
we
talked
a
little
bit
earlier.
The
employers
health
insurance
contribution
was
budgeted
here
at
four
million
dollars.

The
2018
major
capital
expenses,
buildings
and
grounds
with
four
hundred
and
twenty
six
thousand
again
you've
seen
this
before
four
hundred
thousand
of
that
is
the
telephone
system.
We
will
not
have
that
finished
in
this
current
year.
We
are
expecting
to
have
it
finished
in
March,
so
we
are
asking
to
roll
that
forward
or
have
that
actually
budgeted
in
the
2018
budgets.
N
So
last
year,
when
we
showed
that
we
would
use
a
million
dollars
in
fun
balance,
we
will
not
need
that
at
this
time
we
will
be
using
it
that
portion
of
it
in
18
our
information
systems,
software.
We
have
an
increase
of
three
hundred,
thirty
six
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
These
are
some
upgrades
that
we
really
need
to
take
a
look
at
for
our
software
again
just
to
keep
our
system
up
and
running
and
to
keep
us
act,
you
know
more
efficient
and
have
the
tools
that
everybody
needs
to
do
their
job.
N
Jury
software
work
order,
software,
replacing
net
arms
and
different
things
like
that.
We
have
in
here
countywide
security
audit.
This
is
a
new
requirement
from
the
grant
side,
its
budgeted
at
forty
six
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
in
our
cooperative
reimbursement
programs
in
our
prosecutor,
friend-of-the-court.
They
are
requiring
this
now
and
I
believe
it's
really
needed.
J
N
J
J
N

N
N
It
was
eleven
point
seven
in
2015
in
our
2016
calendar
year
we
increased
that
by
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
at
the
end
of
the
year,
once
all
of
our
revenues
and
expenses
were
accounted
for.
So
our
budget
recommendations
at
this
stage
is
to
use
a
practice
about
Lea
1.8
million
of
unassigned
fund
balance
to
balance
the
2018
budget.
I'll
continue
to
research.
Additional
funding
revenue
sources
in
grants
to
cover
budgeted
expenditures
continue
to
priority
prioritize
capital
outlay
projects
as
to
reduce
the
level
of
the
2018
projects
based
on
need.
Our
capital
outlay
projects.
A
E
You
know
I
forgot,
to
highlight
two
individuals,
my
opening
remarks
today,
and
that
is
Jam.
Of
course,
Kim
pressed
Mitch,
who
has
been
with
people,
tell
me
working
on
the
bunch
of
course
of
27
years,
and
she
went
beyond
call
of
duty
for
involvement
or
the
almost
on
a
weekly
basis
in
terms
of
trying
to
grasp
the
complex
County
budget
that
Bay
County,
yes,
yeah,
of
course,
look
forward
to
working
with
Bob
through
this
process
engaging
with
him
and
the
commissioners.
E
Bottom
I
enjoyed
great
discussions
too,
as
we
talk
about
the
priorities
in
it's
about,
thank
you,
Jim,
Jim
and,
of
course,
all
the
records
department
or
the
village
of
workers.
He
mentioned
that
they've
time
so,
look
forward
to
working
through
this
process
and
hopefully
having
a
completed
in
December,
sighs,
okay,.
A
Thank
you
next
and
the
item
B
rest
of
the
I'm.
Sorry
I
mean
emotional
back
in
the
regular
order,
so
who
support
off
air
I.
Thank
you
we're
ready.
Now.
Okay,
I
am
beat
a
resolution.
Number
2017
207
the
appointment
of
joy,
bother
to
the
bakery
Commission,
so
support
discussion,
sing.
None
all
in
favor
opposed
motion
carries
next.
A
O
B
F
B
A
A
motion
to
appoint
sandy
ship
to
the
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services
for
support
all
in
favor.
Both
motion
carries
next
city
manager,
Department
up
Bay,
City
Commissioner
that
close
that
they
come
to
land
bank.
So
will
you
support
any
discussion
seeing
that
all
in
favor
opposed
motion
carries
the
city,
quick
application
for
industrial
facilities,
tax
exempt
certificate?
The
emotional
receive
support
discussion.
All
in
favor,
opposed
motion
carries
next.
We
have
we
reports
the
resolution
of
committees,
ways
and
means,
commissioner,
lots.
Please.
E
That's
correct:
we
by
joining
the
class
action
lawsuit,
we
will
have
no
liability
from
Bay
County
standpoint,
no
expense,
I.
Think
there
are
discussions,
I,
don't
know
what
the
time
frame
will
be.
Probably
lengthy,
but
Bay
County
hasn't
read
glosses
herself
ability
to
other
places.
This
will
allow
us
to
recoup
some
of
the
costs
we've
already
expended
and
also
try
to
prevent
some
of
the
issues
associated
with
the
hope
use
in
the
future,
but
I.
With
your
permission,
we
would
defer
Anna
Johnson,
who
did
a
tremendous
job
working
with
the
attorneys.
E
E
O
It's
it's
very
true
that
we
will
not
be
incurring
any
legal
fees
or
costs
as
a
result
of
entering
into
any
litigation.
As
she
didn't
indicate
during
the
presentation
at
the
last
meeting,
there
is
going
to
be
some
employee
time,
that's
dedicated
to
responding
to
discovery,
requests
and
things
of
that
nature,
but
brown
and
brown
has
already
worked
just
very
closely
and
it's
provided
us
with
a
good
deal
of
information
already.
P
P
A
Discussion,
I
ain't
got
all
favor
post
motion
carries.
