I
have
no
reports
we'll
move
on
the
public
agenda
citizen
comments.
I've
got
45
minutes
allotted
anyone
on
the
left-hand
side.
My
lifts
would
like
to
speak.
Anyone
on
the
right
side.
Anyone
in
the
back
Peter
moving
on
I'll
move
to
the
policy
agenda.
Miss
Lucy.
Will
you
please
Ruud,
read
resolution
a.
A
F
I
think
it's
useful
to
point
out
that
in
that
audit
it
said
that
on
a
60
million
dollar
general
fund
budget,
that
came,
we
came
within
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
the
of
hitting
the
revenue
number
I.
Think
that
says
about
how
good
we're
doing
on
adjusting
estimating
our
revenues
the
sheet
that
is
before
you
has
got
actuals
audited
actuals
for
two
years,
unaudited
actuals
for
two
eighteen,
the
fourth
column
is
2019
year-to-date.
That's
why
it's
not
that's!
F
Why
it's
lower,
because
we're
that's
only
through
period
nine,
which
means
only
through
75%
of
the
year
and
then
the
two
right-hand
columns
are
the
the
current.
The
current
budget,
2019
budget
and
the
final
column
on
the
right
is
the
twenty
proposed
2020
budget.
I
want
to
be
sure
you
that
you
have
understanding
of
what
we've
got
and
there
are
three
pages
to
that
sheet.
All
the
way
to
the
back,
if
you
look
at
the
last
last
page,
we
still
got
the
column
headings.
F
You
see
at
the
bottom,
the
total
general
fund
after
transfers
number
and
you
see
the
the
outcome.
2016-2017
audited,
2018
unaudited
2019
year-to-date
you'll
notice
that
it
was
sitting
at
46
million
dollars
right
now,
with
a
budget
of
58
million
with
three
months
to
go
and
if
you'll
see
on
the
on
again
page
that
last
page
back
you
see
what
we're
proposing
for
a
2020
budget
is
a
essentially
flat
we're
essentially
proposing
a
flat
budget
from
58
million
and
change.
F
F
F
You
look
at
see
the
the
movement
of
admin,
alarm
tax,
we're
sitting
at
six
point:
seven
million
EUR
to
date,
with
just
one
more
well
three
months
to
go,
but
really
most
of
that
comes
in
in
September
we're
sitting
on
gaming
tax
at
thirteen
point,
seven
million
with
a
budget
of
eighteen
point:
seven
and
we're
sitting
at
on
sales
tax
at
nine
point:
three
million
with
a
budget
of
twelve
point:
five.
Those
are
all
in
line
percentage-wise
with
getting
us
to
across
the
finish
line,
but
but
just
barely
so
I
I
think
I.
F
Did
the
year
before
and
we're
proposing
a
very
similar
2020
budget
to
the
council,
now
I
we're
starting
with
revenue
as
we
should
because
just
like,
when
you
do
your
checking
out
of
a
checkbook
at
home
before
you
start
writing
checks,
you
balance
the
checkbook
to
see
how
much
money
you
got
or
going
to
have.
We
think
we
think
our
general
fund
for
2020
is
going
to
be
very
similar
to
our
general
fund
for
2019,
based
on
the
performance
year-to-date
for
2019.
B
B
F
F
B
F
C
It
was
on
my
mind
to
it:
was
the
number
of
vacant
lots
and
everything
we
have
and
to
assess,
and
then
maybe
some
you
know
if
we
can
surplus
that
property
and
acquire
some
some
parking
available,
but
you
know
that
we
could
do
so.
If
we're
trading
and
selling
you
know,
I
think
we
need
to
get
that
my
hand
on
the
tax
rolls.
If
there's
a.
C
C
Maybe
Kenny
that
may
be
a
way
to
kick
that
those
figures
into
the
right
direction
and
again
that
would
add
to
that
valorem.
You
know
as
we
get
it
off,
but
there
are
some
you
know.
I
know
we
could
use
some
additional
parking.
It's
not.
It
could
use
some
additional
parking
at
route
center
and
there's
some
property
available.
You
know
we
may
want
to
play
that
game,
sell
something
bye,
son,
also
cemetery.
H
E
B
G
F
C
Question
I
have:
how
does
that
translate
to
the
ad
valorem
taxes
a
lot
of
times
the
permit
and
how
it's
you
know?
What's
a
revenue
kind
of
apartment?
Might
you
know
it
might
not
get
translated
directly,
but
you
know
certainly
something
we
need
to
look
at
and
Assessors
and
the
tax
collector
needs
to
give
us
an
some
help
on
what
we
could
expect.
You
know
three
million
dollars
worth
of
development
apartment
building
permits
and
you
know
I,
don't
know
how
to
translate
directly
to
a
below,
but
we
need
a
Scot
building.
F
F
B
D
Our
ad
valorem,
where
you're
looking
at
roughly
just
in
previous
year,
17
and
18,
the
actuals
you're
at
about
7
point
1
million,
we're
looking
at
7.4
million
so
that
we
expect
that
to
go
up
a
little
bit
right
and
I
would
assume
a
lot
of
housing
construction
everything
property,
particularly
in
Ward
7.
So
that
certainly.
C
B
B
H
D
It's
just
I'm
just
curious
at
this
point,
since
we
didn't
get
these
till
a
few
minutes
ago,
then
what
is
local
exchanges,
franchise
tax?
That's
account
number
forty
to
sixty
I
noticed
in
in
16.
It
was
one
hundred
twenty
three
thousand
and
one
hundred
forty
thousand,
and
it
drops
to
ninety
seven
thousand
looking
at
95,000
a
date
and
we're
looking
at
a
hundred
Pat
but
I'm
just
curious.
What
is
that.
D
H
D
F
G
F
G
H
D
H
D
And
then
other
intergovernmental
that
varies
widely
historically
twenty
four
to
forty
two
five
five
point:
four:
five
for
twenty
one
for
this
year,
we're
shooting
for
forty
thousand
we're
not
going
to
make
forty
thousand
I,
don't
think.
Maybe
we
do
I,
don't
know
how
those
payments
come
in,
but
we're
only
looking
at
five
thousand
for
next
year.
D
It
sounds
like
it's
kind
of
odds
and
ends
this
bits
and
pieces.
You
have
to
put
them
somewhere
and
it's
gonna
vary
okay.
Well,
anyway,
looking
at
the
the
current
year,
revised
budget
at
thirty
three
seven
and
twenty
twenty
budget
at
thirty,
three,
eight
with
the
figures
you
have
here
proposed
for
twenty
twenty
year
up
about
one
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
and
that's
an
increase
in
revenue
of
one
half
of
one
percent.
D
C
C
C
D
C
C
You
know
that
comes
out
as
a
loss
and
that
reduces
what
that
that
initial
eight
August
and
September
business,
but
the
excitement
is
still
there,
I'll
believe
everybody
I
think
they're,
at
least
in
Harrah's
putting
millions
of
dollars
as
well
as
though
revised
millions
of
dollars
in
their
sports
book.
I.
Think
when
they're
calling
that
the
406
club,
that's
what
I
understand
so
they'll,
be
translating
into
some
revenue
figures,
so
I
think
we're
very
conservative.
D
I
The
game
in
a
sport
book
is
gone,
add
more
more
money
to
the
casinos,
but
it's
gonna
hurt
the
casinos
dispositive
tables
when
they
bring
the
horses
on
and
stuff
like
that.
You
talk
about
something
they're
gonna
do
every
day,
all
across
United
States
and
just
like
the
blurb
eyes,
they're,
not
spending
$700,000
to
redo
that
room
for
nothing.
They're
gonna
make
a
ton
of
money
and
that's
gonna
bring
a
lot
of
money
to
the
city.
There's
a
reason
for
that.
Yeah.
C
Conditions
it's
a
little
bit
more
complicated.
Then
then
sports
betting,
because
their
deals
have
to
be
made
with
the
network
of
X
amount
of
harsh.
You
know
so
I
mean
one
varies
from
from
time
to
time.
You
look
at
the
big
place.
You
know
the
Breeders
Cup
in
the
fourth
or
the
three
other
big
places.
You
know
yeah.
I
They
all
have
to
go
to
some
IT
systems
to
get
those
just
a
lot
of
people
just
go
to
all
day
long
now,
but
there's
a
reason:
it's
sports,
but
it's
gonna
be
good.
You
know
and
when
you'll
be
put
and
we'll
get
back
into
everything,
I'm
heating
up
to
him
pet
or
anything
you
want
I
mean
even
the
soccer
was
the
girls.
In
that
thing
it
was
back
in
the
places
people
watch
it
and
betting
on
United
State.
So
that's
good
buzz
when
the
Saints
involved,
United
States,
topologist,
good.
Those
a
good
thing.
C
C
I
G
I
G
G
E
I
But
what
about
the
process?
The
process
in
overcoming
a
toad
numbers?
Yeah?
We
don't
listen
the
last
six
months
in
the
paper,
great
work,
she's
doing!
What's
it
doing,
but
you
look
at
the
paper
wind
or
nothing,
Oh,
shucks,
somebody
giving
the
wrong
reports
here.
We
don't
great
we're
not
doing
great.
I
I
I
C
C
I
F
I
Well,
that's
what
we
put
all
in
sales
out
on
the
TV,
let's
sell
across
the
street,
let's
sell,
sell,
sell,
sell
something,
there's
an
opportunity
if
we
sell
them
fine,
so
the
downtown
district
thing.
We
have
nothing
received
nothing
from
them
because
that's
all
this
year,
there's
nothing
from
last
year
attached
to
Internet.
There's.
F
One
reason:
one
big
reason
why
our
ending
cash
balance
has
grown
in
the
last
couple
of
years
is
because
we
budgeted
conservatively
and
we
were
aggressive
in
in
holding
down
expenses
and
that's
allowed
the
city
to
grow
its
ending
fund
balance,
which,
which
is
a
much
more
stable
position.
That's
what
we're
trying
to
try
and
do
that's
why
we
try
and
budget
conservatively
and
then
be
aggressive
in
with
expenses.
G
I
We
got
two
surprises
in
July:
we've
been
kills
in
July.
That
definitely
hurt
our
taxes.
Nothing
do
it!
Anybody
you
know
with
the
bad
weather
and
then
the
algae
bloom
kills
July
already,
and
you
can't
recover.
We
hurry
of
July
youdon't,
so
we
don't
lost
him
lost
the
shrimp
season
lost
all
that.
That's
I,
understand
that
that
happens,
see
we
have
a
new
G
as
advantages.
That's
happened
to
be
a
bale
of
us.
You
know,
say
again.
L
B
L
A
D
Okay,
so
on
page
two,
these
look
like
grants
grants
grants.
Is
that
pretty
much
it
and
I'm
thinking
under
the
2020
budget?
You
see
a
couple
of
things
listed.
These
are
things
we
know
we're
going
to
get
I
would
assume,
and
then
everything
else
is
blank
in
that
column,
because
I'm
assuming
we
don't
know
what
grants
are
we
gonna
get
all
right.
D
L
Don't
dr.
Tisdale
and
the
thing
about
it
is
when
those
grants
come
in,
they
have
a
offset
in
the
expense.
It's
already
it's
already
included.
So
when
you
book
it
into
the
budget,
you
book
it
a
revenue
but
you're
booking
an
offsetting
expense.
So
it's
not
like
you
get
to
use
that
grant
money
for
anything
other
than
exactly
those.
D
Are
the
proverbial
strings
we
hear
about
that?
Are
attached
grants,
federal
or
state
alright,
page
three,
alright
on
page
three
recreation
fees?
Historically,
one
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
thirty,
eight
thousand
one
hundred
forty
six
thousand
this
year
hundred
seventy
five,
looking
at
only
one
hundred
and
forty
five,
so
you're
looking
at
a
drop,
that's
account
number
forty,
five
ten,
the
top
line
on
registration
fees
so
was
either.
D
D
D
D
F
Well,
just
seeing
there
is
the
impact
of
the
people
that
are
not
paying
for
their
trash.
Our
collections
are
down
and
we're
trying
to
do
something
about
that.
But
there
are
hundreds
of
people
in
this
city
not
paying
for
their
trash
and
we're
trying
to
correct
that
by
K,
picking
people's
cans
up
and
writing
them
letters
and
do
it
over
weekend.
But
so
so
we
forecasted
a
smaller
number
2.2
million.
Last.
D
D
D
I
D
C
D
That
that
that
agreement
now
has
his
last
and
I'm
assume,
of
course
they
can
always
come
over
here.
You
know,
anytime
a
beat
you
over
the
head
again
in
federal
court,
but
it
would.
It
would
be
great
one.
One
thing
that
caught
my
attention
was
when
it
was
announced
that
it
was
a
model
program,
I
wondered
if
we
had
over
compensated
for
what
was
being
required
to
comply
so.
F
D
And
I
mean
it
makes
sense,
but
it's
also
a
pain.
It's
one
lesson:
source
of
leverage
you
have
people
need
a
vehicle
to
get
to
work
in
order
to
pay
whatever
okay,
but
all
that
being
said,
we're
looking
at
estimating
for
total
fines
and
forfeitures
next
year,
SiC,
roughly
five
hundred
ninety
thousand
six
hundred
thousand
I,
don't
I!
Guess
that's
as
good
a
number
as
any.
At
the
moment
when
you
look
at
public
facilities,
parks
and
recreation,
that's
accounting
for
72.
D
F
D
G
D
D
G
D
D
F
D
E
D
C
D
The
way
I
understood
it
was
going
to
work
was
several
departments
have
required
public
notices
that
we
paid
for
and
mailed
out
I
think
we've
got
the
stormwater
report
I
think
we
do
some
other
things
and
I
think
there
was
something
in
CDBG
that
we
required.
There
may
be
other
the
the
water
quality
report,
these
kinds
of
things
so
I
know
if
they're
selling,
if
they're
selling
ads
whatever
that
generates
but
I'm
thinking.
D
Since
these
departments
were
funded
for
those
public
notices,
but
no
longer
do
that
public
notice,
I'm
going
to
use
the
Secretary
of
State
phrase
is:
is
the
administration
sweeping
those
advertising
budgets
from
those
departments
and
adding
that
money
to
whatever
ads
are
being
pulled
in
I'm
thinking,
because
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
for
offering
be
news?
Was
you
no
longer
have
to
do
that
by
departments
that'll
be
baked
in
to
the
be
news?
Therefore,
those
departments
don't
need
that
funding
for
those
that
advertising
that
funding
I
would
think
so.
F
D
But
I
have
an
Associated,
Ken
question
and
that
is
to
me
this
kind
of
would
work
and
I.
Don't
think
you
can
do
this
accounting-wise,
but
to
me
it's
very
similar
to
a
proprietary
account
like
port
and
harbor
or
Water
and
Sewer,
and
because
you
have
money
coming
in
and
going
out
you
paying.
Am
I
right
mr.
mayor
I'm,
not
an
accountant,
but
but
it's
it.
D
It's
very
enterprise
like
I,
like
that,
where
it's
quasi
enterprise,
er,
II
and
and
I,
would
think
if
we
do
that
or
if
we
can
account
for
it
in
a
similar
manner,
then
you'd
know
exactly
what
you
have
what
he
called.
We
pretty
much
know
what
it
costs
to
print
and
the
only
thing
that
would
be
unknown
is
if
we're
sweeping
these
dollars
and
moving
them
out
of
these
departments.
It
used
to
pay
for
those
public
announcements.
D
They're
moved
in
to
be
news,
then
the
difference
between
whatever
that
generates
and
180,000
is
what
they
have
to
target
for
ads
and
selling
ads
anything
I,
don't
know
what
they
sell,
but
the
more
ads
they
sell.
As
we
saying
the
deeps
out,
the
good,
the
good
or
it
is
for
them
so
anyway,
I
just
I,
would
it
be
great
if
if
the
funds
could
be
accounted
for
in
some
manner,.
D
I
F
D
D
H
F

So,
but
what
you're
telling
me
is
the
money
that
was
swept
is
going
to
be
news.
All
that's
reflected
here
is
the
sales
of
ads,
because
it's
revenue
correct,
because
the
sweat
money,
hidden
revenue
right.
That's
what
you
told
me
I'm
agreeing
with
you,
that's
a
good
thing,
all
right.
That
was
fun.
So
when
you
think
it
was
fine,
so
so,
when
all
is
said
and
done,
you
look
at
that
bottom
line.
D
F
It
could
and
we
get
we
have
a
chance
to
adjust
that
as
we
as
we
learn
more,
just
as
we
did
when
we
adjusted
the
gaming
tax
down
between
the
sheet
that
I
mailed
you
over
the
weekend
that
you
did
you
got
on.
Friday
looks
very
similar
to
this,
but
it's
if
you
looked
at,
if
you
go
back
and
look
at
it,
we
drop
the
gaming
number
slight
right.
Okay,
based
on
that
the
results
we
got
on
Friday
and
we'll
do
the
same,
we'll
bump
it
back
up
again.
If
we
have
a
good
July
so.
F
D

F
I
I
Long
as
don't
cost
the
city
anything
extra
man,
that
was
the
idea.
It's
not
it's
great
publication,
everybody
likes
it.
You
know
what
you
got
to
very
month.
I
really
don't
know,
but
that's
part
of
how
you
can
saw
a
lot
of
airs
because
you
got
all
these
saying
like
call
the
critics
call.
The
pros
got
the
back
page
going
to
everybody's
house
every
month.
That's
pretty
good
after
Johnson,
that's
pretty.
I
F
C
F
F
F
G
F
I
I
G
H
Were
presently
redoing
our
court
procedures
to
allow
the
judges
to
do
things
within
the
law
that
their
hands
were
a
little
bit
tight
on
and
they
were
having
a
sit-down
with
the
judges,
letting
them
know
what
they
can
and
can't
do.
And
but
that's
part
of
the
problem
is
it's
not
just
the
fact
coming
when
you
could
lock
somebody
up
they,
they
tend
to
found
the
money
faster,
but
it's
also
this
the
state
doing
away
with
that
revoking
people's
driver's
license.
H
That
was
always
another
way
that
people
would
pay
and
that's
that's
the
state
that
kind
of
did
away
with
that,
so
that
that's
heard
on
collections
on
the
good
side
of
that
they
did
pass
a
law
that
judgements
that
you
have
for
fines.
We
can
attach
people's
tax
state
tax
refunds
and
that's
that's
going
in
place
this
year,
so
that
should
help
on
collections
overall.
H
H
Have
finds
we
have
judgments
and
we
have
amounts
against
somebody,
but
then
it's
going
to
try
to
collect
the
money.
It's
not
just
that!
It's
not
just
that
we
haven't
collected
it.
I
mean
the
the
fines
may
be
the
same,
but
then
they
skip
town
or
leave
or
or
just
refuse
to
pay
and
there's
no
real
enforcement.
But
the
state
tax
refund
is
a
is
a
pretty
good
enforcement
tool.
I
think
we're
gonna
work
all
that
into
the
system.
I
want.
I
I
Yeah
I
mean
that
was
a
big
thing.
You
know
and
that's
part
of
this
gaming
and
I
don't
know
I,
don't
know
how
many
devices
they
got.
I
don't
know
if
y'all
know,
we've
been
actually
paid
for
all
the
devices
in
the
mission
and
it's
a
big
place,
so
the
game,
the
guys
have
that
listens
with
them.
So
you
have
to
you'll.
Have
the
total
amount
of
the
right
to
game.
F
Jarek
really
asked
me
to
make
them
make
a
point
to
you
on
the
very
first
page
under
privileged
licenses.
That's
business
licenses,
that's
also
where
we're
putting
the
fees
for
short-term
rentals.
So
you
have
short-term
rentals.
That's
where
the
short-term
rental
fees
go
under
under
privileged
licenses.
You
notice
we're
sitting
at
37,000
year
today
and
we're
forecasting
$100,000
next
year.
So
that's
the
end.
The
increase
that's
being
forecast.
There
is
based
on
being
able
to
collect
a
lot
of
fees
for
short-term
rentals.
F
F
M
D
F
Well,
that's
our
story
and
we're
sticking
with
it
I
will.
We
will
be
manipulating
this
as
we
get
closer
and
we
get
information
like
if
we
get
the
sales
tax
numbers
and
and
that's
good,
that
actuals
that
gets
the
good
news
will
bump
up
a
little
bit
there.
If
we
get
a
good
gaming
tax
numbers
for
July,
we'll
have
a
chance
one
more
time
to
revise
that
budget
before
its
final
will.

we
were
scheduled
to
continue

asked

Postpone

work
those
budgets,
so
that

Dr.
Tisdale
had
met
with
me
and
I'm
volunteering,
my
coder
services,
in
order
to
maybe
do
some
some
really
creative
things
about
putting
stuff
where
you
can
get
to
in
you
know
when
you
wake
up
early
in
the
morning
or
late
in
the
morning,
you
can
get
to.
Maybe
you
know
on
one
of
our
sites
and
have
this
information
in
a
more
timely,
easy
to
look
at
form.
