A
A
D
Two
weeks
ago
we
got
a,
we
got
an
invoice
for
371
thousand
dollars
for
the
first
invoice.
For
that
we
we
push
that
back
to
SPD
and
reminded
them
that
we
were
not
required
to
pay
anything
on
the
fire
station
until
we
took
occupancy,
they
agreed
they
made
the
payment,
so
we
just
budgeted
that
payment
into
this
new
fiscal
year,
so
we'll
have
to
make
two
payments
this
first
year.
D
So
that's
an
increase
of
371
thousand
dollars.
We
also
made
a
change
several
changes
in
the
non
department
budget.
Based
on
your
last
workshop.
We
reduce
the
insurance
from
2.9
to
2.7
million,
based
on
the
recommendations
of
Frank
Bordeaux,
our
broker,
so
that
was
$200,000
down
and
we
also
made
based
on
your
recommendations,
changes
in
CTA
in
the
library
you
add
those
together
the
do
decreases
and
the
increase
of
371.
It
was
a
delta
of
about
200,000.
That's
the
200,000
difference.
You
see
in
the
ending
fund
balance.
Let.
F
Me
jump
in
and
say
one
thing
too
about
the
reduction
in
the
2.9
and
12.7,
and
I
think
we
talked
about
having
a
quarterly
update
as
experience
rolls
out
in
order
to
you
know.
If
I
experienced
it
I
could
probably
the
third
quarter.
You
know
an
amendment
could
be
made
if
that
indeed
jumps
over
2.7.
Is
that
fair.
D
D
Big
numbers
are
a
fifty
nine
million
dollar.
Fifty
nine
point:
three
million
dollar
revenue
and
a
60
million
dollar
expense
in
the
department.
Funds
like
4.7
million
dollar
expense
and
all
non
departments,
and
it
brings
in
a
total
of
65
million
and
expenses
against.
The
bed,
basically
have
sixty
million
dollars
in
revenue,
which
brings
us
four
to
five
million
dollars
negative
against
an
eight
million
dollar
starting
balance,
which
leaves
us
with
4.1
billion.
D
D
B
C
H
D
F
C
C
D
Would
we
would
issue
a
revised
budget
with
the
changes
and,
let's
face
it?
We
have
changes
every
day.
The
mayor
was
asking
me
earlier
about
why
seniority
the
payments
were
sitting
seniority,
pay
would
change
in
the
last
two
weeks.
Well,
every
time
somebody
leaves
that's
getting
seniority
pay,
it's
somebody
new
comes
in
its
not
gonna,
say
already
face
yeah
right.
D
C
D
G
B
D
H
B
I,
don't
like
them
put
together,
I
mean
that's
something
shouldn't
funny.
Yeah
thing
is
totally
different
than
playing
property
in
charge.
That's
two
point:
seven
two
point
nine
me
and
that's
different
I'm
told
we
gotta
find
out
how
we
all
what
the
selfish
is.
Will
we
spend
what
it
costs
it?
What
it
takes
to
run
so
I
mean
I'd
like
I.
Don't
that's
what
I'm
saying
I
like
that
I
broke
down
like
a
Julie,
just
sure
where
it's
at
to
make
sure
we're
gonna
me
make
it
or
not
make
it.
B
B
H
D
He's
looking
the
you
remember
the
chart
that
I
would
put
out
each
quarter
that
showed
the
amount
of
insurance
and
then
how
much
we
the
claims
and
costs
were
that
if
you
recall
that
chart
for
this
year
it
was
7.4
million.
That's
the
same,
essentially
the
same
amount
of
money.
We've
got
budgeted
again
this
year,
7.4
million.
Will
we
hit
7.4.
We
may
go
a
little
bit
over
it
this
year.
D
Don't
know
how
we're
gonna
do
next
year,
but
as
we
were
talking
earlier,
we
tend
to
it.
We're
gonna
adjust
each
quarter
as
we
go
through,
so
that
that
that's
7.4
million
is
made
up
of
two
things.
It's
made
up
of
the
money
that
this
the
city
contributes
that's
built
into
the
wages
and
salaries,
and
it's
made
up
of
the
amount.
The
employees
contribute.
Those
two
combined
equal
to
seven
point,
four,
the
revenue
that
we
bill
against
as
we
go
through
the
year
and
he
goes
into
that
kitty.
One
payroll
at
a
time.
C
Right
basically,
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
basically
what
we've
agreed
to
do
is
continue
with
insurance.
The
insurance
committee
continued,
as
we've
done
this
year,
continue
that
next
year
the
difference
will
be
that
we're
looking
at
these
numbers
and
we're
going
to
be
in
couraging
and
in
meeting
by
departments
to
encourage
folks
to
participate
in
those
wellness
activities
that
are
currently
offered
by
Blue,
Cross,
Blue,
Shield,
I.
Think
and
y'all
were
there
for
the
meeting
I'm
just
kind
of
summarizing,
just
to
be
sure
that
employees
are
participating.
C
As
our
remember
size
said,
it
was
participation
driven,
not
necessarily
goal
or
objective
driven.
The
idea
was
to
get
employees
to
participate,
but
if
these
number,
if
the
numbers
don't
look
better
because
we're
upside
down
on
insurance,
we're
pulling
what
three
hundred
fifty
four
hundred
thousand
from
somewhere
from
out
of
the
general
fund,
basically
to
stabilize
that
fun.
C
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
get
more
more
employees
going
the
Wellness
route
participating
in
those
activities
watching
their
blood
pressure,
their
blood,
sugar,
their
cholesterol,
that
kind
of
stuff
and
that's
right,
mayor
and
and
and
there
will
be
a
team,
an
administrative
team,
if
you
will
that's
going
to
go
department
by
department
correct,
is
that
an
accurate
summary
Mike?
It.
D
G
D
C
That
we
hope-
but
this
is
in
fact
I-
think
mr.
Lawrence
will
back
me
up
this
next
year
fiscal
year,
20
is
really
better
described
as
a
transition
year
and
watching
the
numbers
and
having
people
participate
in
the
wellness
activities
so
that
we
can
drive
some
of
these
costs
down,
because
we
cannot
continue
to
bear
these
costs
or
to
offer
all
of
these
options.
C
Something
something's
got
to
give
with
we've
been
pretty
lucky
in
past
years,
except
for
the
current
year
that
we're
in
now
it's
not
been
a
good
year
and
I
think
sometimes
most
employees
forget
that
we
and
they
we
are
the
insurance
company.
You
know
all
they
see
at
the
co-pays
and
there's
a
big
chunk
of
money
that
that
we
as
an
insurance
company,
the
city
and
the
employees
pay,
but
most
folks
never
see
that
that
amount.
That's
a
big
number
so
anyway,
I
just
wanted
that
on
the
record
tonight.
Thank
you.
D
So
at
this
at
this
point
that
that's
our
that's
our
story,
that's
right
that
that's
the
budget
as
the
administration
isn't
proposing
it,
we'll
we'll
have
another
chance
for
the
public
to
see
it.
When
you
know
when
we
have
our
next
council
meeting
you'll
get
it
one
last
time
and
have
it
another
chance
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
or
make
any
suggestions
when.
