This

city
council.
B
We
will
be
here
this
afternoon
and
we're
going
to
start
with
some
overviews
and
some
of
that
sort
of
thing
I
wanted.
I
did
want
to
ask
the
mayor
if
he
would
like
to
address
the
the
group
at
this
point.
C
Well,
I
was
gonna
speak
unto
you
through
that
caveat
in
there,
but
no,
I
really
don't
madam
budget
chair,
I
just
I
want
to
thank
staff
and
and
and
in
particular,
miss
miss
alexander
for
all
the
hard
work
they've
done
in
helping
us
put
this
together.
We've
already
gone
over
the
fact
that
there's
a
a
six
percent
little
over
six
percent
increase
in
the
budget
and
that's
due
largely
to
the
the
pay
plan.
C
The
anticipated
pay
plan,
implementation
that
we've
already
set
that
10
million
dollars
aside
increase
in
some
of
the
costs
for
our
health
insurance
and,
of
course,
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
our
our
contractual
obligation
with
our
company.
That
is
helping
us
at
this
particular
point,
make
sure
that
yard
waste
and
some
of
this
stuff
is
picked
up,
but
but
other
than
that
ma.
We
we
stand
ready
to
try
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
budget
committee,
and
particularly
the
budget
chair,
may
have.
B
D
They
expect
it
in
times
like
these,
where
there
is
no
playbook
and
but
there
are
boots
on
the
ground
and
and
the
mayor
we
worked
together.
We
listened
to
them
and
we
tried
to
bring
it
to
you
in
the
way
that
department
heads
elected
officials
feel
they
can
do
the
business
of
the
city
government
meeting
the
needs
of
the
citizens
in
a
time
like
this.
So
but
thank
you
to
the
staff,
and
that's
all
that
I
have
at
this
time.
B
Great
thank
you,
mr
city
manager,
mr
mayor,
this
process
began
as
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
have
said.
Several
months
ago,
from
november
to
january,
every
year
the
finance
financial
planning
department
meets
with
the
various.
B
Department,
heads
and
talks
to
them
about
their
budget
needs
for
the
coming
year
and
then,
in
february
and
march,
the
financial
planning
department
begins
analyzing
these
things
and
putting
them
together
to
give
to
the
city
manager
for
him
to
evaluate
to
see
what
we
need
to
do
and
then,
in
april,
the
according
to
our
charter.
The
city
manager
develops
a
recommended
budget
that
he
then
presents
to
the
mayor
and
the
mayor
tweaks
as
he
sees
necessary
for
that
to
happen,
and
that
happens
in
april
and
then
we
are
at
today.
B
This
is
the
first
budget
hearing
of
the
this
cycle
and
we
I'm
sure
that
the
finance
manager,
the
finance
director,
is
going
to
have
a
lot
more
to
say
about
that
process
and
how
we're
doing
and
what
we
are
doing
here
today.
But
we
will
be
meeting
for
the
next
several
weeks
and
she'll
give
you
some
specific
dates
so
that
we
can
have
the
budget
ready
for
adoption
when
both
our
charter
and
state
law
says.
We
need
to
do
that
with
that.
E
I'm
sorry
it's
announced
that
did
just
want
to
stay
for
the
record
that
we
have
counselors
garrett
and
tucker
on
the
virtual
microsoft
teams
meeting.
We
do
not
have
to
have
a
physical
quorum
for
this
particular
meeting,
but
I
did
just
want
to
state
that
for
the
record
that
they
are
present
virtually.
Thank
you
so
much.
F
Yes,
ma'am
good
afternoon,
madam
budget
chair
members
of
the
budget
review
committee,
just
in
terms
of
the
budget
review
schedule
for
today,
I'll
just
quickly
share
our
agenda.
F
F
F
F
F
I
will
update
this
schedule,
there's
actually
a
more
detailed
presentation
that
will
be
presented
on
next
tuesday
on
the
city
manager's
agenda.
There's
some
information
that
the
tax
assessor
needs
to
share
with
the
council
and
council
would.
I
need
to
officially
vote
to
change
the
the
dates
that
are
listed
here,
so
I
did
just
want
to
share
that
information
with
the
budget
review
committee
today.
Just
some
upcoming
changes
to
the
schedule.
F
F
So
again,
in
terms
of
the
schedule,
our
first
budget
review
session
is
today
the
next
schedule
session
is
may
10th.
Although
there
are
currently
no
presentations
on
the
schedule
for
the
10.,
with
the
final
meeting
date
being
may
17,
where
we'll
have
budget
presentations.
If
there
are
any
that
come
on
the
request
to
be
added
to
the
list,
as
well
as
the
add
delete
list
for
our
budget
route
review
committee
to
decide
upon
again.
B
F
So
as
we
get
closer
to
the
end
of
the
week,
departments
actually
have
until
friday
morning
to
request
to
be
on
the
agenda
before
the
agenda
is
posted
on
friday.
F
F
F
So,
in
terms
of
the
operating
funds
for
fy
23,
our
revenues
are
299
million
three
hundred
ninety
thousand
eight
hundred
and
sixty
nine
dollars
expenditures
totaled
out
to
be
314
million,
four
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
six
hundred
and
one
dollars.
It
is
important
to
note
that
10
million
dollars
of
the
fund
balance
that
use
of
fund
balance
number
that
showed
there
is
due
to
the
proposed
implementation
of
a
new
pay
and
compensation
plan.
F
This
is
a
one-time
use
of
reserve
funds
that
we
previously
set
aside
specific
to
this
purpose,
and
then
we
we
anticipate
that
this
will
be
sustained
through
organic
revenue,
growth
that
we've
experienced
and
some
through
some
of
the
positive
economic
trends
that
we've
seen
over
the
years.
The
other
part
of
this
use
of
fund
balance,
4.78
million,
is
being
utilized
from
the
integrated
waste
fund
and
this
is
to
continue
use
of
the
private
contractor
for
the
collection
of
yard
waste.
F
So,
in
terms
of
some
of
the
assumptions
that
are
in
the
fy
23
budget,
there
is
no
change
in
the
total
millage
rate
from
fy22
in
urban
service
district
1.
The
millage
remains
in
total,
as
17.51
meals
in
urban
service
service
district
number,
two,
the
total
millage
rate
is
11.53
meals
and
urban
service
district
number.
Four.
It
remains
at
10.63
meals.
F
F
F
One
percent
for
retirees
is
effective.
On
july
1st,
this
excludes
elected
officials,
elected
officials,
most
elected
officials
will
see
will
receive
an
increase
as
of
january
2023,
based
on
the
state
providing
a
5
000
dollar
pay
increase
for
state
employees
in
terms
of
the
health
insurance.
There
is
a
change
in
our
contribution
strategy.
This
year,
we've
long
held
a
70-30
split
in
terms
of
contributions
towards
the
cost
of
health
insurance
this
year.
That
strategy
is
changing
to
73
percent
contribution
from
the
city
with
27
percent
contribution
from
employees.
F
So
in
terms
of
the
millage,
you
heard
me
say:
there's
no
total
increase
in
terms
of
there's
no
increase
to
the
total
millage
rate
by
urban
service
district.
There,
however,
is
some
adjustment
in
terms
of,
and
I
I
do
apologize
that
that
still
says
medical
center
there.
It
actually
should
say
indigent
care
fun
and
I
will
update
that
information,
but
the
millage
reduction
for
what
was
previously
assessed
for
the
medical
center
contract,
that
contract
ends
june
30
2022,
and
so
what
we're
doing
for
energy
care
for
fy23.
F
What
we're
proposing
is
to
assess
a
2.5,
zero
meals
for
integer
care,
and
we
also
so
to
keep
the
millage
rate
the
same.
We
shifted
half
a
meal
down
to
debt
service.
This
was
due
to
the
purchase
of
the
new
city
hall,
formerly
known
as
the
synovus
building.
You
know
when
we
were
going
out
for
those
buns.
We
projected
that
we
utilize
or
need
about
a
half
a
meal
in
terms
of
covering
the
debt
service
for
that
purchase,
and
so
that
is
the
adjustment
that
you
see
here
again.
F
That
does
not
change
the
total
millage
rate,
so
there
will
be
no
tax
increases
for
employ
for
homeowners,
particularly
those
that
are
under
the
property
tax
freeze.
The
valuation
remains
the
same.
The
millage
remains
the
same
in
totality,
so
that
will
not
change
for
fy23,
and
I
just
wanted
to
pause
just
in
case
there
were
any
questions
so
in
terms
of
the
budget.
F
As
you
can
see
here,
the
general
fund
represents
about
56
of
our
overall
operating
budget.
The
old
loss
is
second
representing
about
12.7
percent
of
the
overall
operating
budget,
while
the
integrated
waste
fund
and
the
paving
fund
rounds
out
the
top
three
at
5.8
percent
for
integrated
waste
and
5.3
for
paving.
F
So,
in
terms
of
the
revenues
where
the
mine
comes
from
this
chart,
here,
just
depicts
our
revenue
sources
by
type
as
noted
here.
Most
of
our
revenue
is
derived
from
general
property
taxes
and
that's
just
over
30
percent
for
property
taxes,
sales
tax,
that's
our
second
largest
revenue
source
at
26
in
terms
of
our
operating
revenues.
F
This
chart
here
just
shows
our
operating
budget
by
type
as
you
can
see,
we
are
personnel
heavy
where
a
government
we
provide
services
and
so
about
55,
close
to
55
of
our
operating
expenditures,
are
to
cover
the
cost
of
personnel,
39
operating
costs
for
budgets
and
so
forth,
and
3.1
percent
for
capital
outlay.
This
year
and
two
and
a
half
percent
towards
our
capital
improvement
program.
F
So
going
specifically
to
the
general
fund,
our
general
fund
revenues
are
projected
at
one
hundred,
sixty
five
million
nine
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
three
hundred
and
sixty
three
dollars
with
expenditures
of
one
hundred
seventy
six
million
one
hundred
sixty
thousand
three
hundred
and
sixty
three
dollars.
F
That
leaves
a
difference
from
balance
usage
of
ten
point,
one
million
again
the
ten
million
that's
listed.
There
is
due
to
the
inclusion
of
the
proposed
pay
plan
and
we
are
using
a
very
small
amount
of
fund
balance
to
help
us
with
some
of
those
one-time
capital
outlay
purchases.
F
So
again,
in
terms
of
personnel,
the
10
million
there
for
the
proposed
pay
plan,
implementation
in
terms
of
new
positions
or
transfers
into
the
general
fund
for
the
city
manager's
office.
There
is
the
family
connection
director
grade.
20
21
of
the
cost
of
this
position
is
from
the
general
fund
that
represents
about
13
thousand
dollars.
The
rest
of
the
funding
for
this
position
is
from
a
grant,
so
79
is
grant
funded.
F
Also,
the
key
columnist,
beautiful,
executive
director
position
is
transferring
from
public
works
into
the
city
manager's
office.
Then
there's
the
for
the
city
manager's
office,
a
director
of
community
affairs
at
a
grade,
23
human
resources,
two
human
resource
specialist
positions
grade
16
public
works
plumber,
one
grade
13..
This
is
effective
january
2023.
F
Then
the
reason
for
these
positions,
particularly
for
public
works-
and
this
was,
after
speaking,
with
the
director.
You
know
we
are
bringing
on
that
new
city
hall
next
year
to
be,
you
know,
february
march
time
frame,
and
so
these
positions
being
effective
in
january
allows
time
for
the
director
to
you,
know,
recruit
and
hire
individuals
to
fill
the
positions,
but
also,
you
know
not
included
in
terms
of
it
being
available
until
it's
really
needed.
So
that's
that's
the
reason
for
the
january
effective
date
that
you'll
see
here
on
these
public
works
positions.
F
It
also
includes
three
facility
maintenance
workers,
g11
one
electrician,
it's
a
g13
and
then
a
custodial
supervisor,
g16,
also
effective
january
2023
for
parks
and
recreation
as
a
part-time
site
supervisor,
two
part-time
activity
leaders.
This
is
for
the
mobile
recreation
unit
that
has
been
mentioned
in
in
the
past
by
the
the
mayor,
there's
a
recreation,
full-time
recreation,
specialist,
3,
g-14
and
three
part-time
recreation
center
leaders.
G
two:
these
positions
were
included
in
the
budget
for
the
opening
of
tillis
utilis
recreation
center.
F
The
tax
assessor
this
personal
property,
appraiser
g
14
position
is
really
it's
a
position
that
was
restored.
F
It
was
unfunded
for
several
years
and
then
eventually
deleted,
because
it
was
unfunded
for
more
than
five
years,
and
so
this
is
a
restoration
of
a
position
in
the
tax
assessor's
office
for
the
police
department.
One
administrative
technician
grade
12.,
also
for
police,
one
new
criminal
records
technician.
F
For
fire
and
ems,
one
fire
lieutenant
grade
18
for
the
district
attorney's
office,
one
assistant
district
attorney
grade
23,
and
I
believe
this
was
to
help
with
some
tasks
for
the
gang
task
force.
Thank
you.
The
superior
court
clerk
one
senior
deputy
clerk
of
for
the
appeals
division
that
is
being
created
for
the
superior
court
clerk's
office
and
to
deputy
clerk
too,
for
also
for
the
appeals,
appeals
division.
F
These
are
grade
12
positions,
the
state
court
solicitor,
two
deputy
clerk,
two
positions,
the
sheriff's
office,
two
sheriff
cadets
grade
and
those
are
all
the
new
positions
in
the
in
the
general
fund.
F
Next,
we
have
the
reclassifications
as
well
as
pay
adjustments
that
are
included
in
the
general
fund
for
information
technology.
One
gis
coordinator
grade
21,
being
reclassified
to
gis,
division
manager,
grade
23
for
the
planning
department,
one
planning
manager,
g22
position
being
reclassified
to
assistant
planning,
director
g24
for
public
works
facility,
maintenance,
worker,
1g,
11,
being
reclassified
to
a
carpenter,
g13
parks
and
recreation.
They
had
two
part-time
positions
that
they
wanted
to
make
into
one
full-time
position,
so
two
part-time
administrative,
clerks,
g9
being
reclassified
to
one
full-time
administrative
assistant.
F
Also
for
the
police
department,
the
chief
of
staff,
slash
public
information
officer
position,
a
grade
20
being
reclassified
to
a
director
of
community
affairs
grade
23
for
the
public
defenders
office,
the
there
is
a
included
in
the
budget,
a
five
thousand
dollar
pay
increase
for
the
contract,
public
defenders
and
just
to
speak
a
little
more
about
that.
The
city,
the
state,
I
should
say,
is
statutorily
required
to
provide
one
public
defender
for
each
superior
court.
Judge
that
we
have
so
the
state
provides
seven
public
defenders
to
work
for
the
chattahoochee
judicial
circuit.
F
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
required
to
provide
public
defenders
and
we
pay
those
public
defenders
by
contract.
That
contract
is
adopted
as
part
of
the
budget.
Every
year
we
bring
back
a
separate
resolution
for
the
contractual
services
for
that
particular
contract,
and
so
the
state
public
defenders
that
the
state
is
statutorily
required
to
provide
received
a
five
thousand
dollar
pay
increase
when
the
state
gave
that
to
the
their
employees.
F
However,
they
they
did
not
provide
any
increase
for
the
contract,
public
defenders
for
the
various
circuits,
and
so
that
is
the
the
reason
why
that
is
listed
here
and
included
in
the
budget
to
help
bring
parity
to
the
attorneys
for
the
public
defender's
office.
It's
just
the
attorneys.
It
doesn't
include
the
chief
public
defender
or
the
assistant
chief
public
defender
for
the
municipal
court
judge
the
increase
the
pay
adjustment
increase
to
the
supplement
amount
that
we
paid,
that
associate
judge
the
judge.
Steve
smith
was
actually
here.
F
for
the
sheriff's
office,
12
deputy
sheriffs
grade
14s
to
12
correctional
officers
and
then
finally,
for
the
sheriff's
office,
15
deputy
sheriff's
grade
14
to
15
investigators
grade
16,
and
I
think
this
is
something
to
do
with
his
new
investigative
team
that
he's
putting
together
in
terms
of
the
gang
task
force.
I
believe
most
of
those
reclassifications,
if
not
all
of
them,
for
the
sheriff's
office
are
budget
neutral,
we'll
get
to
that
later
on
in
the
presentation
in
terms
of
the
corner.
F
F
F
Excuse
me:
administrative
division,
I'm
to
replace
14
mohawk
lifts
down
at
the
fleet
shop,
one
new
adoption,
animal
adoption,
trailer
one
new
john
deere
mini
excavator
for
the
cemetery,
also
a
dual
axle
trailer
for
the
cemetery
and
then
for
a
service
truck
replacements
for
facilities,
maintenance
in
parks
and
recreation.
Their
allocation
is
281
thousand.
F
F
For
the
tax
assessor
there's
an
allocation
of
seventy
three
thousand
two
hundred
dollars.
This
is
to
purchase
the
mobile
cam,
camera
solution
for
the
per
commercial
property
division
and
last
year's
budget.
They
purchased
this
solution
for
the
residential
side,
and
now
they,
after
utilization,
like
to
move
forward
we're
getting
that
from
commercial
property.
F
F
F
So
now,
in
terms
of
the
from
balance
reserve
days,
just
really
speaking
to
fy21,
you
know
we
ended
fy21
with
about
118
days
in
fund
balance
reserves.
F
We've
also
are
utilizing.
You
know
a
little
bit
of
fun
balance
to
cover
that,
so
we're
projecting
that
we'll
end
fy
22,
with
about
a
hundred
in
two
days
close
to
102
days,
65
of
those
days
being
in
the
general
fund,
close
to
66
days
and
36
days,
being
an
old
loss
and
so
we'll
end
fy
22,
with
around
102
days
and
for
fy23
we're
projecting
61.99
days
in
the
general
fund
34.08
days
in
o-loss
funds
for
a
total
of
96.07
days.
F
And
so
this
does
allow
us
to
excuse
me
to
keep
keep
our
strategy
in
terms
of
the
fund
balance
reserve
days
that
we
hold
you
know.
Currently
we
have
a
policy
minimum
of
60
days.
This
is
at
the
recommendation
of
the
government
finance
offices
association
with
a
target
of
90
days,
and
so
this
keeps
us
above
our
targeted
goal.
F
So
the
storm
water
fund
is
balanced
without
any
use
of
fund
balance
here,
with
revenues
projected
at
five
million
eight
hundred
seventy
eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
two
dollars
expenditures
at
five
million:
eight
hundred
seventy
eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
two
dollars.
The
storm
warner
fund
accounts
for
activities
restricted
for
storm
water
and
drainage
improvements.
F
F
For
the
stormwater
fund,
there
are
no
personnel
adjustments
included
in
the
budget
this
year
there
is
a
small
amount
of
capital
outlay.
That's
included
at
four
hundred
nineteen
thousand
two
hundred
and
forty
two
dollars
with
the
engineering
department
being
allocated
just
over
thirty
four
thousand.
This
is
for
a
new
mid-sized
explorer
suv.
F
F
This
is
for
a
new
full-size
f-250
crew
cab
truck
a
seven-yard
dump
truck,
that
is,
a
replacement
replacement
of
an
18-yard
dump
truck
and
two
flatbed
dump
trucks
with
12
inch
bodies,
the
capital,
improvement
or
cip
monies
being
allocated
from
storm.
Water
is
just
over
1.3
million
and
for
the
paving
fund
it
is
also
balanced
revenues
and
expenditures
at
16
million
600
1709
dollars,
the
paving
fund
accounts
for
the
maintenance
and
improvements
to
roads
and
bridges
and
again
it
is
also
primarily
funded
by
property
taxes.
F
The
millage
rate
remains
the
same
again
for
urban
service
district
number,
one
at
3.44,
meals
and
.55
meals
in
urban
service
district
number,
two
in
the
paving
fund
there
are
no
personnel
adjustments
included
in
the
proposed
budget.
There
is
a
small
amount
of
capital
outlay
included,
534
775
dollars.
F
F
Replacing
the
asphalt
reusing
the
asphalt
actually
and
cover
more
road
area
in
terms
of
replacement
or
repairs.
There
is
a
bit
of
cip
money
included
from
the
paving
fund,
it's
just
over
a
million
dollars
and
for
the
indigent
care
fund.
Again,
there
is
a
more
detailed
presentation
that
the
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge,
will
give
towards
the
end
of
the
session
here
today,
but
what's
included
in
the
proposed
budget,
is
2.5
meals.
F
So
for
the
integrated
waste
fund,
revenues
are
projected
at
13
million.
Four
hundred.
Ninety
thousand
expenditures
are
projected
at
eighteen
million,
two
hundred
seventy
eight
thousand
dollars
for
a
utilization
of
reserves
from
the
integrated
waste
fund
of
four
million
seven
hundred
eighty
eight
thousand
dollars
the
integrated
waste
fund
accounts
for
refuse
collection
and
disposal,
as
well
as
recycling
and
landfill
operations.
F
F
The
operating
budget
also
includes
that
service
payment
for
leases
capital
leases
for
equipment.
This
comes
up
to
be
about
two
2.1
million
dollars
that
would
that's
included
in
the
budget
for
those
lease
payments
and
again,
the
utilization
of
the
fund
balance
here
is
to
continue
the
privatization
of
yard
waste
collections
in
fy
23.
G
G
H
F
Well
I'll
just
start
out
by
saying
you
know,
we
knew
that
the
medical
center
contract
was
expiring
june
30
of
2022
right
now.
The
three
meals
that
we've
been
assessing
for
the
last
30
years
have
gone
specifically
to
the
medical
center,
so
it
hasn't
covered.
F
F
I'm
sorry
now
healthcare
and
mercymed,
some
of
those
other
organizations
that
also
provide
you
know,
services
to
you,
know
low-income,
potentially
indigent
patients,
and
so
in
terms
of
the
the
the
adjustment
in
the
millage.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
you
know,
as
we
were
looking
to
replace
city
hall,
was
that
we
wanted
to
do
that
without
any
increase
in
our
debt
service
millage.
F
You
know
we
knew
that
we
needed
to
issue
bonds
to
cover
the
purchase
and
renovation
of
the
of
that
facility,
and
so
the
adjustment
was
to
reduce
down
the
medical
center.
What
used
to
be
the
medical
center
millage
to
cover
the
cost
of
debt
of
the
debt
service
for
the
synovus
building
purchase?
F
F
D
Be
very
clear:
yeah,
reducing
the
meals
from
three
to
two
and
a
half
will
not
prohibit
us.
D
We
have
no
intentions
of
not
taking
care
of,
indigent
and
and
and
taking
care
of,
the
indigent
will
be
done
not
by
a
single
agency
by
but
by
multiple
agencies
throughout
this
community.
D
This
is
a
contract
that
is
expiring
after
30
years,
and
you
know
I
don't
know
at
this
moment,
but
I'd
like
to
know
and
I'll
have
staff
to
provide
the
information
to
me.
The
value
of
a
meal
30
years
ago
when
we
started
with
indigent
care,
but
the
value
of
a
meal
30
years
ago
versus
the
value
of
a
meal
today
is
quite
different
significantly
different.
D
The
other
thing
with
the
three
meals
is
that
we
do
we've
done
everything
else,
based
on
our
collection
rate.
You
know
today
our
collection
rate
is
98
percent,
which
is
really
good.
It
has
not
always
been
98,
but
regardless
of
our
collection
rate,
the
millage
that
went
to
indigent
care,
the
medical
center
was
a
hundred
percent.
D
But
the
bottom
line
I
want
to
be
clear
is
that
we
know
that
we
can
provide
the
level
of
care
that's
needed
for
indigent,
with
two
and
a
half
meals
versus
that
three
meals
that
we
have
provided
over
the
years.
C
Okay
and
and
if
I
may
just
double
down
on
that,
the
the
indigent
care
millage
is
designed
to
help
the
hospitals
offset
some
of
the
costs,
because
they
take
care
of
the
folks
that
don't
have
anything
to
take
care
of
themselves
with
they
show
up
they
get
treated.
In
fact,
that's
been
one
of
the
issues
that
we
have.
We
have
discovered
over
the
years.
Is
that
because
not
all
the
hospitals
were
having
access
to
that
millage
rate,
they
were
treating
these
individuals
and
not
receiving
any
offset
compensation
from
the
city.
C
So
there
was
a
when
the
renegotiation
opportunity
came
around.
They
looked
at
a
way
to
try
to
trim
a
little
bit
and
see
if
we
were
still
being
able,
because
we're
going
to
fulfill
our
mission,
and
that
is
to
try
to
help
the
hospitals.
The
hospitals
are
going
to
fulfill
their
mission
and
treat
people
when
they
come
through
the
doors.
So
it's
not
an
account
that
they
draw
from
and
and
when
the
money
runs
out,
they
quit
treating
people.
C
They
treat
folks
we're
simply
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
do
our
part
to
offset
some
of
the
costs
to
the
hospitals
and.
D
G
D
Years
ago
today,
the
value
of
three
meals
is
14
million
dollars,
and
so
that's
the
point
I
was
trying
to
make
and
so
over
the
years
and
now
I'm
redundant.
But
I
want
to
be
clear
when
we
were
collecting
96
percent,
they
were
getting
100
and
and
so
but
everybody
else.
If
anything
else,
if
you
collected
98,
you
only
paid
out
98,
but
not
with
indigent
care
and
so
from
five
and
a
half
meals.
When
we
started
14
mil
14
million
today,.
G
Now,
when
the
mayor,
when
you
stated
to
assist
the
hospitals-
and
I
understand
I've-
been
here
long
enough-
and
I
know
the
contract
from
the
medical
center
for
30
years-
I
know
we
sued
a
couple
times
trying
to
change
it
and
we
were
very
unsuccessful.
G
G
C
Going
forward
the
the
objective
is
and
there's
we're
in
the
process
of
that
you'll
see
an
update
on
that
today,
but
the
objective
is
to
have
multiple
points
of
disbursement
for
this
money,
in
other
words,
you've
got
mercy.
Med,
that's
taken
folks
in
you've,
got
valley.
Health
care,
you've
got
saint
francis,
so
and
you've
got
the
pastoral
institute
in
the
bradley
company
because
of
all
the
mental
illness.
C
So
the
objective
is
to
try
to
make
sure
that
folks,
that
see,
people
that
don't
have
any
means
to
pay
for
the
medical
costs
are
covered
or
not
covered
by
us,
but
they
are
handled
by
the
service
providers
and
that
we
provide
some
way
for
them
to
offset
some
of
those
services.
The
idea
is
at
a
lower
cost,
with
greater
efficiency
to
make
sure
that
we
have
more
distribution
points.
D
D
A
G
Someone
sees
the
reduction
from
3
to
2.5
they're
going
to
be
like
I
am
weight,
you
know,
you're
cutting
it.
You
know
for
engine
and
care
and
based
by
the
conversation
we're
having
here
today.
It's
actually
not
a
cut
and
it'll
be
more
beneficial,
because
more
agencies
that
service
individuals
will
be
able
to.
H
D
Yeah-
and
we
can
certainly
do
that
at
a
council
meeting
and
we
intend
to
do
that-
the
update
presentation
at
a
city
council
meeting
and-
and
I
I
even
want
you
know
when
you
say
cutting
from
three
to
two
and
a
half-
you
know
you
know,
let's
be
clear
on
this:
it's
up
to
two
and
a
half
okay,
you
know
we're
not
going
to
just
say
that
we
are
allocating
a
specific
amount
to
an
agency,
but
you
know
we're
going
to
scrutinize.
G
D
F
Thank
you,
ma'am,
and
just
really
one
sort
of
last
point
to
that.
With
the
indigent
care
program,
we
do
receive
a
report
from
piedmont
which
is
now
piedmont
from
the
medical
center
and
fy21.
F
I
Thank
you,
madam
budget
chair,
miss
city
manager.
I'm
glad
to
hear
you
say
what
you
just
did.
I
think
oversight
is
the
key
in
this,
and
we
have
to
remember,
even
though
you
know
the
the
designation
of
indigent
care
this.
In
reality,
it
was
a
contract
that
went
on
for
30
years
and
it's
taxpayer
funds.
I
I
mean
it
comes
straight
from
the
citizens
of
columbus
georgia,
so
we
need
to
understand
that,
and
it's
been
tied
down
for
so
long
and
there's
been
so
many
questions
around
the
the
aspect
of
how
exactly
this
money
has
been
used
and
has
it
been
used
appropriately
over
the
years
you
have
so
many
today
you
have
so
many
health
care
providers
in
columbus
who,
in
reality,
when
you
really
understand
energy
and
care
by
law,
no
health
care
provider.
I
You
have
to
treat
injured
care
by
law,
I
mean
that's,
that's
the
law,
whether
you
get
funds
or
not,
you
have
to
treat
them.
So
you
know,
let's
understand
the
dynamics
of
that,
and
also
the
standpoint
of
over
the
years.
Miss
city
manager-
and
you
alluded
to
it-
been
a
lot
of
changes.
A
lot
of
changes.
I
There's
a
lot
of
subsidies,
there's
a
lot
of
government
funds
that
are
out
there
coming
from
all
different
angles:
citizens
pay
into
engine
care
today
through
obamacare,
there's
obamacare,
there's
a
lot
of
aspects
that
take
care
of
indigent
care
outside
of
this
fund
that
we
use
here
locally.
So
to
speak
that
now
the
contract
has
come
up.
So
when
you
take
that
in
consideration,
that's
it's
key
to
understand
that,
because
you
may
have
a
hospital,
that's
receiving
a
a
ton
of
of
advantages,
so
to
speak,
to
run
their
operations.
I
But
yet
you
may
have
another
equal
provider
or
hospital.
That's
really
getting
no
help
at
all,
but
is
still
doing
the
same
thing.
So
the
question
is:
how
do
we?
How
do
we
have
better
oversight,
better
accountability?
How
do
we
utilize
these
funds
within
our
city
at
a
much
better
pace,
and
I
think
from
in
doing
it
through
the
rfps
and
understanding
it?
What
exactly
is
being
provided
and
doing
that
from
an
accountability
standpoint
in
a
short
term-
and
I
would
say
short
term,
I
would
say
annual
basis
absolutely.
I
We
have
so
many
agencies
out
there
that's
doing
incredible
work
but
they're
not
getting
any
help
at
all,
and
I
think
here's
an
opportunity
to
to
do
that,
not
just
one
entity
or
one
entity
that
can
you
know
through
their
operations,
there's
a
myriad
of
movement
of
of
of
in
well,
let's
just
say,
financial
resources
that
sometimes
it's
hard
to
hard
to
really
track.
I
But
you
know
another
thing
too:
we
look
at
some
of
our
health
care
agencies
that
we've
we're
also
helping
in
an
indirect
way,
through
tax
abatement.
Things
like
that
through
the
non-profit
aspect,
but
then
you've
got
other
health
care
agencies.
As
I
said
before
that
you
know
they
may
be
paying
100
taxes,
and
so
when
you
balance
it,
you
know
it
really.
There's
a
there's,
a
big
question
mark
there
as
it
as
it
comes
to
helping
out
and-
and
you
know
we
need
to
look
at
that
from
that
angle
as
well.
I
Do
we
need
to
help
there
from
that
standpoint?
I
don't
think
we
have
the
answer
today,
but
one
of
the
things
while
I'm
on
this
subject,
madam
budget
chair,
so
I
don't
have
to
bring
it
back
up
during
the
presentation,
but
what
I
would
like
to
understand.
I
know
that
we're
talking
specifically
about
a
use,
but
I
would
really,
I
think,
it's
important
for
council
to
understand
the
dynamics
of
now
that
the
contract
has
expired
and
what
exactly?
I
I
We
used
it
for
debt
service
and
you
know
if
that's
an
option.
I
I
think
it's
important
for
the
council
to
see
what
the
options
are
and
explain
a
little
bit
more
in
detail.
I
know
that
the
charter
review
commission
has
something
to
do
with
this
and
they've
looked
into
some
of
these
things,
but
I
would
like
to
understand
what
those
funds
could
actually
be
used.
For
example,
you
said
that
you
could
use
up
to
that
amount.
You
don't
have
to
use
it.
Okay,
if
you
don't
use
it,
then
what
do
you
do
with
it?
I
I
I
think
it's
just
seeing
the
big
picture
and
understanding
a
little
bit
more
versus
just
we're
just
putting
it
out
here.
This
is
how
we're
going
to
use
it
and.
D
Madam
budget
chief,
I
could
just
say
one
other
thing:
okay,
yes,
sir.
Okay,
thank
you
but
you're
absolutely
correct
councillor.
Dave
is,
I
mean,
oversight,
accountability,
not
a
30-year
contract,
but
an
annual
contract
or
gr
agreements,
not
with
a
single
party
but
annual
agreements
with
a
number
of
parties,
and-
and
as
you
were
talking,
I
thought
about
the
when
she
says
674,
indigent
care,
families
average
size
of
one,
and
we
spend
14
million
dollars.
We
spend
every
dime
of
it
14
million.
D
It
makes
me
think
about
this.
674
families
average
size
of
1
14
million.
We
have
2600
full-time
employees
on
with
health
insurance
with
the
city,
2600,
full-time
families.
We
have
a
health
and
wellness
center,
all
of
the
drugs
and
all
of
everything
that
we
do
we're
self-funded
and
we
spend
23
million
dollars
on
health.
D
F
Yeah,
so
the
I
forget
where
we
were,
but
in
terms
of
the
millage
that
we
assess
you
know
we
obviously
have
to
utilize
it
for
that
purpose.
You
know
the
city
manager
mentioned
that
we
could
assess
up
to
up
to
three
meals
and
if
we
assess
any
millage
for
energy
care
health
care
purposes,
it
will
be
used
for
that
purpose.
F
F
Pay
a
fee
for
prepaid
phones
and
you
pay
a
fee
for
wireless
surcharges,
and
this
is
from
the
use
of
landlines.
Like
I
said,
wireless
and
prepaid
phones,
the
state
took
over
collecting
that
revenue
a
couple
years
ago.
It
also
they
also
increased
the
amount
per
line
when
they
took
over
those
collections,
and
so
we've
been
seeing.
You
know
pretty
consistent
increases
in
terms
of
our
9-1-1
revenue
and
that
has
allowed
us
to
not
subsidize
that
fund,
which
is
really
pretty
awesome.
F
So
the
economic
development
fund,
the
fy
23
budget,
is
two
million
three
hundred
eighty
eight
thousand
four
hundred
and
ninety
two
dollars
the
millage
that
we
assess
is
point
five,
zero
meals.
This
is
used
for
you
know
creating
jobs,
attracting
quality
employers
as
well
as
job
retention.
F
0.25
meals
is
allocated
to
the
development
authority.
That
amounts
to
1
million
194
246
dollars,
and
we
also
are
in
year
8
of
10
for
the
ncr
blue
cross
project
commitment.
So
we're
almost
done
with
that.
The
800
000
is
coming
out
of
the
city's
0.25
meals,
also
the
allocation
for
the
mercer
project,
we're
in
year,
four
or
five
for
that.
That
hundred
thousand
is
coming
out
of
the
.25
meals
for
the
city,
as
well
as
the
development
authority,
business
development
initiative.
F
That's
175
thousand
yeah
we're
in
year
two
of
two
of
that
agreement,
so
this
is
the
last
fiscal
year
for
that
initiative
to
be
included
in
the
budget,
the
reserves
on
top.
So
in
addition
to
what
we're
paying
out
of
our
0.25
meals,
we'll
also
budget
budgeting
to
put
back
in
reserves
about
119
000,
and
so
as
of
may
well.
As
of
yesterday,
we
had
about
2.3
million
in
reserves
in
the
economic
development
fund
for
debt
service.
H
H
F
Debt
service
fund
here
balanced
at
14.9
million
the
debt
service
fund
accounts
for
accumulation
and
disbursement
of
principal
interest
payments.
So
our
bonds,
our
gma
leases,
all
those
things
are
encapsulated
in
the
debt
service
fund
again
the
millage
rate
slightly
increased
to
0.83
meals
in
terms
of
debt
service,
and
that
is
to
cover
the
budget
the
sonova's
purchase.
F
F
There
we
go
metro
fund
revenues
projected
at
14
million
forty
one
thousand
nine
hundred
and
fifty
six
dollars
expenditures
projected
at
fourteen
million
one
hundred
thirteen
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighty
eight
dollars
for
a
use
of
fund
balance
of
seventy
one
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirty
two
dollars
so
metra.
The
metro
fund
accounts
for
the
operations
of
our
public
transportation
system.
It
is
funded
with
property
taxes,
as
well
as
federal
and
state
grants.
F
There
are
some
service
charges
that
are
included
in
terms
of
the
revenues
and,
what's
also
included
this
year,
is
t
splost,
our
there's
a
that's
it.
Funding
for
the
t.
Splash
funds
are
included
in
the
fy
23
budget,
so
in
terms
of
personnel
adjustments,
there's
one
reclassification
in
the
metro
fund
reclassifying
a
principal
transit
planner
grade
20
to
assistant
transportation,
director
grade
24
to
cover
the
cost
of
this
reclassification.
F
Making
it
budget
neutral
is
the
deletion
of
a
transit
security,
specialist
grade
10,
a
vacant
transit
security,
specialist
position,
grade
10.
and
so
in
terms
of
capital,
outlay
tons
of
capital
outlay
included
in
the
metrofund
budget
for
fy23
at
5.5
million
about
1.8
million
of
that
being
covered
from
fta
2.9
million
from
t-splos,
and
we
are
spending
the
remainder
of
our
cares
act
allocation
that
mattress
receives
specifically
at
684
000.
J
F
Trade
center
fund
is
balanced,
two
million
nine
hundred
thirty
thousand
three
hundred
and
one
dollars,
and
the
trade
center
fund
accounts
for
operations
of
that
particular
facility.
It
receives
its
revenue
primarily
from
the
events
that
it
holds.
It
also
receives
some
of
the
beer
tax
money
that
we
receive
for
those
for
the
for
those
alcohol
licenses.
It's
about
680
000
that
they
receive
from
that.
They
also
receive
some
hotel
motel
funding
this
year.
It's
about
650
000
for
hotel
motel
for
the
trade
center
fund
in
terms
of
personnel.
F
When
the
pandemic
hit,
the
trade
center
did
delete
some
positions
in
terms
of
vacant
positions.
I
should
say
in
terms
of
trying
to
balance
the
budget-
and
you
know
just
all
of
the
unknowns
and
uncertainties
surrounding
the
pandemic
they
have
requested
and
it
is
included
in
their
balanced
budget
to
restore
some
positions.
F
F
For
the
golf
courses,
a
bull,
creek
golf
course
right
at
1.6
million
in
terms
of
revenues
and
expenditures
that
it
does
include
a
50
000
supplement
from
the
general
fund.
There
are
no
personnel
adjustments
and
then
there's
a
capital
outlay
included
for
bull
creek
at
65,
000
for
oxbow
crete,
the
budget
521
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
with
the
subsidy
included
of
150
000
from
the
general
fund.
F
No
personnel
adjustments
are
included
in
the
budget
for
oxbow
creek,
as
well
as
there's
a
little
bit
of
capital
outlay
included
at
23
263
dollars
for
the
civic
center
fund.
It
is
also
balanced
at
4.4
million.
The
civic
center
fund
accounts
for
operations
of
that
facility,
and
it
includes
it
receives
its
revenue,
primarily
from
the
events
that
it
holds
through.
You
know,
ticket
sales
and
so
forth,
as
well
as
hotel
motel
taxes.
Its
allocation
for
fy23
is
about
1.3
million.
F
So
for
the
health
care
fund,
the
total
budget
is
23.9
million.
Again,
we're
changing
the
contribution
strategy
to
73
city
funded
as
well
as
27
percent
from
from
active
employees.
There's
no
premium
increases
for
2023.
That
is
again.
If
you
participate
in
the
wellness
incentive
program.
If
you
do
not
participate
in
the
wellness
incentive
program,
there
is
a
still
that
premium
differential
for
non-participation
it's
about
11
or
12
percent.
F
F
F
F
F
That
is
due
to
the
fact
that
river
valley
regional
there
of
our
dues
that
we
pay
to
them
is
based
on
the
population,
so
the
2026
census
increased
our
population,
and
so
we
pay
one
dollar
per
capita,
and
so
that
is
the
increase
that
you
see
there.
F
Non-Operating
funds:
these
funds
are
for
not
for
general
operations
of
the
government
and
are
typically
restricted
for
a
specific
purpose.
They
must
be
budgeted
annually
and
maintained
in
their
own
separate
fund.
F
This
is
a
fund
that
fluctuates
throughout
the
year
as
departments
apply
for
grants.
They
must
come
to
this
council
and
request
permission
to
apply
for
the
grants,
and
so
we're
projecting,
based
on
the
grants
that
we
currently
have
about
6.2
million
in
grant
funds
that
we'll
receive
next
year,
a
hotel,
motel
tax
fund,
5.2
million
police
forfeiture
fund
150
000,
the
county
drug
abuse
treatment
fund,
which
is
also
referred
to
as
a
date
fund
at
68
000..
F
Our
vice
special
operations
forfeiture
fund
at
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand.
Our
county
penalty
assessment
fund
is
eight
hundred
thousand
the
share
of
forfeiture
fund
at
twenty
thousand
for
our
tab
number
one,
which
is
for
bending
technology
part
at
twenty
five
thousand
tad
number
two
sixth
avenue
in
liberty.
F
District
is
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
tad
number
three
uptown
district
at
a
million
dollars;
tad
number
four
second
avenue:
city
village,
four
hundred
thousand
tad
number
five
midtown
west;
seven
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
on

number:
six
midtown
east
at
twenty
thousand
number,
seven
midland
commons
at
sixty
one
thousand
and
ten
number:
eight
south
columbus
river
district
at
two
thousand
for
the
law
library
fund.
This
is
actually
something
new
in
terms
of
our
non-operating
funds.
The
law
library
is
an
agency
fund,
has
always
been
considered.
F
F
F
Nothing
changes
in
terms
of
the
operations
is
just
how
we
have
to
show
it
in
our
financials
2000,
the
2021
sales
tax
proceeds
fund
is
50
million.
This
is
what
we
anticipate
will
collect.
The
50
million
is
a
carryover
of
10
million
dollars
from
what
we'll
receive,
but
not
expand
from
fy22,
because
again
those
sales
tax
collections
that
was
approved
back
in
november,
based
on
the
november
referendum.
F
These
are
capital
projects
that
were
supported
by
you
know,
either
the
paving
fund
this
the
stormwater
fund
or
the
general
fund,
the
tsploss
fund.
This
is
to
include
projects
carryover
projects,
as
well
as
carryover
of
discretionary
funds
that
we
have
to
allocate
to
project,
as
well
as
at
least
six
months
of
collection.
F
F
The
1999
sales
splash
project
fund
still
finishing
out
some
of
those
projects
at
5.2
million
the
columbus
building
authority,
lease
revenue,
bonds,
2003
a
at
448
000,
the
cba
revenue
bonds,
2003
b
at
4
million
for
162
000,
the
columbus
building
authority,
lease
revenue
fund
series,
18.,
we're
finishing
that
out,
and
so
we
have
a
little
bit
of
expenses
left
before
we
can
close
that
out.
That's
130
000
in
the
columbus
building
authority,
lease
revenue
bond
series
22
a
this-
is
for
the
purchase
of
the
sunovis
building.
B
Me,
madam
director,
councillor
davis,.
I
Mr
city
manager,
I
wanted
some
came
to
my
attention
on
a
slide
before
this,
but
either
last
year
or
the
year
before,
collectively,
both
years
didn't,
we
make
some
loans
to
some
agencies.
Call
it
a
reimbursable
reimbursement
that
was
coming
back
to
us
is.
Am
I
right
on
that?
Yes,.
I
D
Convention
visit
this
bureau.
Yes,
sir,
just
one
or
two
just
one:
okay,.
I
F
The
2021
splash
project
fund-
this
is,
for
all
the
plot
projects.
Deputy
city
manager,
hodge,
will
be
going
over
those
projects
in
her
infrastructure
project
update
specifically
for
this
28
million
dollars,
the
geo
sales
tax
bond
series
22.
This
is
for
the
bonds
that
we
issue
the
general
obligation
bonds
that
we
issued
for
the
demolition
of
the
current
government
center
and
the
construction
of
the
new
judicial
center.
F
F
From
our
current
allocation,
which
is
18
million
three
433
three
hundred
and
twenty
five
dollars
so
now,
the
old
loss
fund
is
balanced,
with
revenues
being
projected
at
40
million
expenditures
being
budgeted
at
40
million.
F
F
F
It
includes
sales
tax
proceeds
that
are
segregated
so
that
70
percent
of
the
proceeds
are
allocated
to
public
safety.
30
percent
are
allocated
to
infrastructure,
so
in
terms
of
the
objective
for
the
old
loss,
the
you
know,
the
funding.
The
primary
mission
of
our
public
safety
department
is
our
ultimate
goal.
F
Some
of
those
funding
priorities
include
improving
our
response
time
for
emergency
services.
Increasing
public
safety
presence
in
the
community,
expanding
our
crime
prevention
programs,
improving
non-emergency
public
safety
services
and
decreasing
the
length
of
time
for
adjudication
of
criminal
cases,
and
you
know
these
priorities,
and
this
objective
is
straight
from
the
original
presentation
that
was
given
when
the
old
loss
was
being
presented
to
the
community
in
terms
of
the
definition
for
public
safety
that
includes
the
police
department,
fire
and
ems.
The
sheriff's
office
muscogee
county
prison.
F
We
added
additional
correctional
officers
for
other
departments
such
as
public
works,
metro
parks
and
recreation.
This
was
done
by
an
ordinance
that
was
approved
by
the
mayor
and
council
at
that
time
of
the
coroner's
office,
the
district
attorney,
the
public
defender
other
associated
court
personnel
and
other
public
safety
agency
programs
and
functions
so
public
safety
expenditures
include
personnel
costs,
including
salaries
and
benefits
personal
equipment
such
as
clothing,
weapons,
cars,
etc.
F
F
So
public
safety
all
lost
public
safety
in
terms
of
current
personnel
for
the
police
department,
that's
12,
sergeants,
14,
corporals,
89,
police
officer
positions,
as
well
as
9e
911
technician,
positions
for
the
fire
park,
fire
department,
that's
20,
firefighter
positions,
muscogee
county
prison,
it's
four
correctional
officers
and
one
sergeant
position
for
the
sheriff's
office:
there's
16
deputies,
three
sergeants
nine

and
three

F
There
is
a
crime
prevention
director
that
is
included
in
the
public,
olaf's

the

Public
safety
allocation
is
a
5121
dollar
annual
supplement
for
the
police
department.
F
There
is
no
subsidy
again
to
the
e911
fund.
The
800
megahertz
radio
system
upgrade
when
you're
eight
of
ten
of
that
program
often
referred
to
as
a
motorola
map
program.
We're
in
eight
of
ten
of
that
also
a
part
of
that
program
is
a
warning.
Siren
maintenance
we're
in
year,
seven
of
eight
of
that.
That's
at
104.
F
Dollars
included
in
the
budget
is
750
000
for
crime
prevention
grants
the
court
management
system
debt
service
we're
in
year
four
of
five,
so
one
more
year
that
we're
paying
on
that
for
the
debt
service,
payment
for
our
court
management
system
court
and
the
annual
maintenance
fees,
though
these
are
ongoing-
that
rounds
out
to
be
about
991
000
for
fy23.
F
The
current
debt
service
for
existing
capital
leases
right
at
101
million
700
64
595
dollars.
That
includes
our
that
is
included
in
the
transfer
for
debt
service
amount.
That's
listed
here
right
at
1.8
million,
the
cba,
the
columbus
building
authority,
2019
refund
and
bonds.
Olaf's
public
safety
covers
about
124
000
of
that.
But
then
the
rest
are
gma
leases.
F
There's
gma
lease
number
four
for
one:
fire
truck
gma
lease
number
nine:
three
hundred
and
forty
six
thousand
for
five
fire
trucks;
gma
lease
number
10,
283,
252
dollars
for
four
fire
trucks;
gma
lease
number
15,
263,
477
dollars
for
thirty
pursuit
vehicles
for
the
police
department,
gma
lease
number
seventeen
six
hundred
and
ninety
six
thousand.
There
was
a
total
of
eighty
percent
vehicles
that
we
purchased
for
various
public
safety
departments
and
then
lease
number
18
121
000.
This
is
our
most
recent
lease.
F
Capital
outlay
allocated
is
about
1.9
million
the
police
department's
allocation
733
000.
That's
to
cover
an
axon
taser
replacement
program,
so
they're
replacing
all
the
tasers
so
that
they
can
correspond
with
the
cars.
It's
really
pretty
cool.
In
terms
of
what
they'll
be
able,
I
mean
not
the
car
that
I'm
thinking
about
the
body
cameras,
I'm
sorry
the
tasers
that
they
need
to
replace
the
taser.
These
are
the
tasers
there's
10
pursuit
explorers
included
with
build
out
packages.
Obviously
these
are
all
replacement
vehicles
for
fire
ems,
their
allocation,
583
thousand
375.
F
That's
for
175
sets
of
turnout
gear,
125
protective
helmets,
the
lifepak
80
aeds,
and
I
forgot
to
list
the
amount
that
I
believe
was
about
15.
F
F
The
accent
officer
safety
plan
is
three
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
three
pursuit
vehicles
would
build
out
packages
at
155
000
for
a
total
of
467
000
for
the
sheriff's
office.
Then
there's
one
full-size,
excursion
suv
included
for
the
coroner
for
olaf's.
He
was
15.
You
see
15
aeds
for
the
fire
department.
I
was
correct
on
that
sorry:
old
loss,
infrastructure,
roads
and
bridges.
The
allocation
is
1.5
million
on
flood
abatement,
stormwater
1.2
million
technology
improvements,
1.4
million.
This
includes
250
000
for
computer
equipment,
800
000
for
upgrade
to
the
city's
fiber.
F
So
it's
doing
a
lot
of
big
things
in
terms
of
the
fiber
and
getting
us
all
connected.
You
know.
With
this
building
and
the
the
new
city
hall,
the
intergov
upgrade
58
000.
This
is
the
permitting
and
planning
and
licensing
system
entergo.
So
there's
an
additional
upgrade.
That's
required
to
accept
plans
electronically.
F
Control
system
at
mcp,
eagle,
recorder
cloud
implementation:
this
is
to
convert
the
eagle
recorder,
that's
utilized
by
the
clerk
of
superior
court
into
the
cloud
gis
system,
aerial
imagery
upgrade
at
150
000,
and
the
data
works
system,
migration
at
30
000.
This
is
the
system
that
is
currently
in
the
jail.
I
believe
they
need
to
migrate,
that
to
some
of
the
system
facility
improvements
at
a
million
dollars
that
service
just
at
5.8
million.
F
This
includes
the
columbus
building
authority,
2019
refunding
bonds
at
5.4
million
and
for
the
2019
series,
a
bond
at
309
thousand
nine
hundred
and
ten
dollars,
also
included
from
olaf's
infrastructure,
is
an
allocation
for
the
800
megahertz
system,
upgrade
of
260
000.
again
we're
in
year,
eight
of
ten
and
then
the
debt
service
for
the
court
management
system,
a
majority
of
the
debt
service
is
covered
from
o-loss
infrastructure
at
800,
000.
F
So
I'm
not
going
to
speak
much
on
in
terms
of
taste
loss.
The
discretionary
project
funding
that
we've
allocated
in
the
budget
this
year
is
5
million
and
again
the
deputy
city
manager
will
give
an
infrastructure
project
update
to
speak
more
specifically
about
the
funding,
the
various
funding
for
road
storm
water
and
other
infrastructure
projects.
F
I
I
Are
we
just
going
to
we
going
to
start
drawing
when
we
start
using
the
money,
or
is
that
money
already
been
loaned
and
is
accumulating
interest.
H
F
I
F
And
we
do
arbitrage
calculations
on
an
annual
basis
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
in
the
risk
of
having
to
pay
anything
back
in
to
the
irs
or
any
type
of
penalties
related
to
that.
But
we
do
it's
a
very
low
amount
of
interest.
I
mean
we're
not
we
have
those
funds
stored
up
at
the
georgia
farm
one
and
the
interest
rate
right
now
at
georgia,
farm
one
is
like
less
than
one
percent.
F
Well,
100
million
is
different
right,
so
we're
going
to
do
we're
actually
working
with
our
financial
advisors
to
we're
coming
up
with
a
more
detailed
project
schedule
and
so
that
we
can
invest
those
funds.
We
have
a
lot
of
it
right
now
at
the
georgia
farm
one,
but
we're
going
to
do
we're
working
on
a
more
proactive
plan
and
invest
in
150
million,
so
we're
working
with
them
on
that
right.
D
Now
and
so
go
ahead,
I
was
just
going
to
want
you
to
just
elaborate
a
little
bit,
not
much
but
with
a
georgia
fund
won
interest
rate
is
low,
but
it's
the
most
secure
place
to
invest,
there's
little
to
no
risk.
D
F
I
I
Okay,
my
second
question:
I
know
just
listening
to
a
lot
of
the
verbiage
coming
out
of
washington.
There
was
some
talk
about
redirecting
arp
funds.
Mainly,
I
guess
it's.
The
second
round
that
we
haven't
received
yet
is:
are
we
to
expect
less
now,
funds
coming
in
now
that
I'm
pretty
sure
I
saw
that
they're
redirecting
some
of
the
arp
funds
going
out
to
states
and
cities.
D
F
Ma'am
so
madam
chair,
I'd
like
to
welcome
to
the
podium.
B
Madam
director,
before
you
move
on,
please
be
sure
to
get
to
council
as
quickly
as
possible
the
schedule
for
the
next
several
meetings.
As
I
understand
it
at
this
point
on
may
the
10th
we
have
a
regular
council
meeting
scheduled
and
we
have
scheduled
a
budget
preparation
at
the
end
of
that
meeting.
But
you're
saying
we
may
not
need
that.
Please
let
us
know
as
quickly
as
you
can,
whether
or
not
that
will
be
there
and
then
on
may
the
17th.
B
We
have
a
the
same
with
the
council
first
and
then
the
budget
hearing
later
and
then
on
may
31st
is
a
9
a.m.
Meeting
is
that
council
only.
F
B
F
B
B
B
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
explanation
in
some
of
these
that
some
of
us
may
know
that
the
explanation,
but
some
of
our
citizens
may
not,
and
I
would
encourage
our
citizens
if
you,
if
you
have
questions,
ask
them
and
we
can
get
you
an
answer
as
to
what
this
means.
I
remember
when
I
first
came
on
council,
there
was
somebody
who
kept
talking
about
the
cdbg
and
I
said
what
is
cbg
and
it's
c
d
b
g
community
development.
You
know
and
we
do,
that
we
talk
in
government
ease.
B
So
if
you
have
questions,
please
be
sure
to
contact,
you
can
contact
your
counselor,
you
can
contact
the
city
manager's
office
or
whatever,
and
we
can
get
you
some
the
answers
to
the
questions
that
you
may
have
about
the
budget.
We
will
be
looking
at
them
again
in
some
of
these
further
meetings
and
making
some
recommendations
and
so
forth.
I'm
really
surprised
that
we
have
no
department
people
coming
on
the
tent.
B
This
is
I've
been
on
council
netflix
a
couple
of
years,
and
this
is
the
first
time
that
has
happened.
We
usually
have
a
room
full,
but
I
guess
that
goes
to
show
that
you
guys
did
a
great
job
in
putting
this
together.
We
appreciate
it
now
miss
alexander.
If
it
looks
to
me
like
we've
got
about
an
hour
and
15
minutes
left.
I
want
to
be
cognizant
of
the
time
for
our
counselors
and
for
our
presenters.
So
if
you
will
mr
city
manager,
you
look
like
you
want
to
speak.
I.
D
Do
I
want,
and
it's
really
a
shameless
plug?
I
really
you
know.
You
heard
me
in
my
opening
comments,
thank
the
finance
department
and
her
team
for
their
work
on
this
budget
and
and
then
she
went
through
slide
after
slide
and
shared
with
you
all
of
the
different
funding
categories
and
details
on
fundings
and
tag
revenue
and
just
down
the
line.
D
I'm
sitting
here.
Thinking
if
you
take
out
her
revenue
collection
division,
you
know
my
thought
is
how
many
employees
do
you
have
and
and
and
who
I
I
this
it
made
me
pull
my
coming
out
my
notes
from
the
external
auditor,
because
they
really
do
a
great
job.
D
D
Said,
of
course,
we
have
an
unmodified
clean
audit
and
but
he
informed
the
council
that
the
ccg
dotted
all
of
the
eyes
and
crossed
all
of
the
t's
on
all
federal
programs
and
management
is
on
top
of
the
game
and
that
that's
a
quote,
direct
quote
from
the
external
auditor,
but
as
she
went
through
what
she
presented
to
you,
the
details,
the
numbers
I
just
commend
them
and
thank
them
for
their
great
work.
I
Mr
city
manager,
I'd
like
to
get
a
executive
summary
from
the
actuary
I'd
like
to
dealing
with
the
employee
pension
plan,
I'd
like
to
get
an
understanding
of
the
the
status
and
where
it's
at
the
health
of
the
plan,
and
also
understand
how
it's,
if
he
can
detail
it
out
over
the
last
12
years
and
where
we're
where
we've
come
from
and
where
we're
at
I'd
like
him
to
put
something
together.
I'd
like
to
see
this
before
the
next
week
or
two
before
we
get
into
some
more
of
these
budget
sessions.
I
D
Well,
you
know
we
can
get
you
that
we
just
you
know
she's
just
saying
our
chuck.
Carr
is
our
person
who
handles
our
actuarial
work
and
we
got
to
get
to
him
and
and
make
sure
he
can
get
all
of
that
in
and
and-
and
I
know
that
you
would
want
it
during
this
budget
process,
but
we'll
we'll
see
what
we
can
do.
But
but
you
may.
I
just
refer
to
my
notes,
because
I
want
people
to
hear
this.
D
Since
you
asked
about
pension-
and
this
is
as
of
october
of
2021,
we
had
628
million
dollars
in
our
pension
fund,
and
that
was
up
over
an
18-month
period.
Over
an
18-month
period,
we
went
from
466
million
to
600
628
million
as
of
october
of
2021,
and
we
were
94
funded
in
the
general
fund
pension
94
funded
in
general
pension
and
88
funded
in
public
safety
pension.
D
B
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
for
the
director
before
we
move
on.
F
B
I
F
F
It
fluctuates,
I
mean
it
really
depends
on
the
us
meeting
our
assumptions
in
terms
of
the
plan.
There
are
certain
plan
assumptions
that
we
need
to
meet
every
year,
such
as
our
our
returns
and
so
forth,
and
just
due
to
the
some
of
the
other
assumptions,
but.
I
H
K
K
We
did
see
increases
to
the
paid
claims
on
the
plan
and
we
focus
on
claims
and
monitor
claims
on
a
monthly
basis
and
where
we
are
to
budget,
because
that
is
the
biggest
portion
of
the
health
plan.
We
do
pay
some
fixed
cost
for
administration
of
the
fee,
but
95
of
the
expense
is
attributed
to
medical
and
prescription
drug
claims.
K
So
from
2019
to
2020
we
saw
a
seven
percent
increase
in
paid
claims
or
about
1.2
million
from
2021
to
I'm
sorry
from
2020
to
2021
we
saw
a
1.8
million
dollars
in
paid
claims
or
9.8
percent
overall
increase.
K
When
we
look
at
that
on
a
per
employee
per
year
average
of
paid
claims,
we
see
a
bit
more
of
an
increase
here
of
14
and
a
half
percent,
and
that
is
because
we
have
seen
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
employees
on
the
plan.
Part
of
that
we
have
observed
is
just
the
open
positions
that
are
exist
as
well
as
some
newer
employees
not
taking
the
plan,
so
we
have
a
little
over
2000
employees
on
the
plan.
K
So
for
2020
we
see
that
increase
there
for
high
cost
claims
went
from
a
little
over
4
million
to
5.5
million
in
high
claims
and
then
again,
an
increase
in
2021
of
six
million
dollars
in
high
cost
claims.
So
that
is
43
of
our
health
plan.
Spend
is
attributed
back
to
high
claims
when
we
drill
down
on
that
even
further
28
percent
of
our
high
claims
are
from
coven
19
in
2021.,
so
2.1
million
dollars
of
our
claims,
expense
in
2021,
was
attributed
directly
to
covid19.
K
Claims
paid
by
setting
majority
of
that
was
inpatient
care,
so
1.6
million
dollars
of
those
claims
was
inpatient
care,
so
those
more
serious
claims
for
chronic
patients,
outpatient
care,
47,
000
and
then
for
urgent
care
in
emergency
room,
85,
000
and
professional
care,
almost
400
000..
So
again,
majority
of
the
cost
attributed
inpatient
care,
but
you
can
see
that's
only
driven
by
29
visits,
so
very
high
cost
claims
that
have
driven
this
expense
and
out
of
our
high
cost
claimants.
1.6
million
dollars
of
that
expense
is
kova
19
for
the
2021
plan
year.
K
K
Just
a
quick
update
on
the
health
and
wellness
center
and
our
overall
wellness
program.
So
with
this
every
year?
We're
monitoring
a
cohort
population,
those
that
continue
to
participate
in
the
wellness
program
and
as
a
reminder,
the
wellness
program
and
to
qualify
for
that
discount
on
the
health
insurance,
is
completing
a
personal
health
assessment
participating
in
coaching
if
you're
high
risk.
And
so
when
we
look
at
that
population
that
is
engaged
in
coaching.
You
see
improvement
across
the
board
and
bmi
28
percent
of
participants
improved
their
bmi.
Their
a1c
40
improved
their
a1c.
K
So
we
focus
on
these
because
we're
looking
at
the
overall
health
of
the
population
to
improve
the
health
and
the
livelihood
of
the
members
on
the
plan
and
then
in
turn,
we
see
that
long-term
impact
to
the
health
claims
experience
to
those
more
catastrophic
chronic
claims
that
can
be
impacted
by
lifestyle
related
choices
when
we
look
at
the
engagement
of
the
population
within
the
health
center,
so
those
that
are
receiving
regular
services
in
the
health
center,
those
that
are
engaged
with
the
health
and
wellness
center
average,
a
paid
claims
amount
on
the
health
plan
of
a
little
over
thirty
eight
hundred
dollars.
K
Those
that
are
not
engaged
within
the
health
and
wellness
center
are
a
little
over
seven
thousand
dollars.
We
see
a
differential
also
on
the
prescription
drugs,
so
there
those
that
are
engaged
in
the
health
and
wellness
center
are
about
eighteen
hundred
dollars
per
year
on
the
health
plan
and
those
that
are
not
engaged
almost
twenty
four
hundred
dollars
a
year.
K
So
for
budget
projections
on
the
health
plan
for
fy23
we
again
coven
19
will
be
an
impact
to
the
claims,
but
we
are
assuming
a
lessening
impact
of
coven
19,
meaning
that
we
continue
to
see
improvements
in
the
conditions
of
the
pandemic.
We
see
fewer
high
cost,
expensive,
catastrophic
claims
on
the
plan,
so
that
has
been
taken
into
consideration.
K
We
are
factoring
in
the
requirement
to
offer
the
over-the-counter
cova
19
testing,
so
our
actuaries
assume
at
10
utilization
about
a
418
000
expense
there
to
pay
for
those
claims,
and
then
I
mentioned
earlier-
the
reduction
in
the
number
of
employees
that
are
enrolled
on
the
health
plan.
So
when
we
have
fewer
employees
enrolled,
we
have
fewer
contributing.
K
So
we
looked
at
average
costs
going
up
per
enrolled
member,
but
we've
got
fewer
contributions
coming
in
so
we've
got
to
account
for
about
146
000
reduction
in
employee
contributions
for
the
next
fiscal
year
than
what
we
had
seen
in
prior
fiscal
years
and
then
for
the
fixed
cost.
The
administrative
services
only
fee
from
anthem,
blue
cross,
blue
shield,
that's
the
cost
to
access
their
network
for
them
to
administer
and
pay.
K
Those
claims
is
a
two
percent
increase,
which
is
almost
twenty
three
thousand
dollars
so
with
all
factors
of
projecting
future
cost
of
claims
and
the
impact
of
cova
19.
This
equates
to
a
6.45
fiscal
year
increase
or
for
the
calendar
year
2023
an
11
increase
needed
to
the
funding
of
the
health
plan,
so
recommendations
to
manage
that
increase
one
is
to
implement
a
10
increase
in
office
visit
co-pays.
That
would
be
effective
january
1st
2023.
K
So
this
would
be
for
primary
care,
physician
and
specialist
co-pays.
The
projected
savings
for
that
is
approximately
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
then
to
minimize
the
impact
to
the
employees.
The
recommendation
is
to
increase
ccgs
contribution
from
the
current
ordinance
split
of
70
30
to
73
27,
and
that
would
result
in
no
employee
contribution
change
for
the
plan
year.
2023.
K
The
next
slide
outlines
that
one
plan
design
change
that
I
indicated
so
this
does
result
in
almost
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
projected
claim
savings.
So
you'll
see
here
on
the
silver
plan,
primary
care
physician
office
visit
copay
goes
from
thirty
dollars
to
forty
dollars.
Specialist
goes
from
forty
to
fifty
dollars
and
then
on
the
gold
plan.
Primary
care
physician
goes
from
twenty
dollars
to
thirty
dollars
and
specialists
from
thirty
dollars
to
forty
dollars.
K
That
would
be
the
only
change
in
the
benefit
plan,
design
or
out
of
pocket
cost
to
the
members
on
the
plan.
K
So
with
that
we're
looking
at
overall
for
the
fiscal
year
projected
three
and
a
half
percent
increase
in
paid
claims.
With
the
plan
design,
change
total
cost
increase
of
a
little
over
three
percent.
Again,
we've
got
that
reduction
in
employee
contributions,
so
an
overall
increase
of
5.45
percent
of
812
000
on
a
per-budgeted
position
basis
that
we
are
at
5.43
increase
or
again
812
000
attributed
to
ccg
at
a
73
contribution
for
the
contributions
again,
no
change
from
the
current
contributions
from
for
employees,
the
wellness
differential
for
wellness
participation.
K
It
will
remain
at
12,
meaning
that
employees
receive
a
12
discount
on
their
health
insurance
premiums
if
they
participate
in
the
personal
health
assessment
and
the
coaching
if
they
are
high
risk,
but
with
that
no
change
to
both
sets
of
those
rates
and
then
for
pre-65
retirees,
also,
no
change
proposed
to
their
monthly
cost.
So
again,
these
would
remain
the
same
as
they
are
currently
for.
B
C
B
I
certainly
would
like
to
see
us
at
least
entertain
that
idea
of
moving
that,
if
we
can
do
that,
yes,.
C
B
Okay.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
with
us
this
afternoon,
and
we
will
move
now
to
pam
hodge,
who
is
our
deputy
city
manager
for
an
infrastructure
project
report?
Ms
hodge.
L
Good
morning
or
afternoon,
madam
budget
chair
and
budget
review
committee,
this
is
the
fy
23
budget
for
infrastructure,
transportation,
storm
water
and
splost
of
the
funds
that
are
allocated
in
the
budget.
How
we're
recommending
those
funds
to
be
spent
on
specific
projects
and
I'll
walk
through
each
one
of
those
funding
sources
to
provide
that
that
update
for
transportation,
the
total
amount
would
be
9.5
million.
L
Those
come
from
a
various
funding
sources,
the
paving
fund,
a
million
thirty
one
thousand
seven
sixty
five,
the
o
lost
infrastructure
allocation
of
one
point:
five
million.
We
receive
an
l,
mig
allocation
from
g
gda
each
year,
that's
estimated
at
two
million
dollars
that
will
come
back
to
you
in
october
time
period
for
this
specific
project.
Once
we
receive
that
exact
amount
and
then
t
splost
discretionary
at
five
million
dollars.
L
This
would
be
the
remainder
of
the
t
spots,
discretionary
funds
for
through
the
end
of
december,
for
the
existing
t,
splost
that
expires
december
31st
for
storm
water.
The
total
amount
for
projects
is
two
million
five
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
one
sixty
three
from
two
funding
sources:
the
stormwater
fund
at
one
million
three
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
one
sixty
163
and
oh
lost
infrastructure
at
1.2
million.
L
So
for
the
transportation
projects.
This
is
our
recommendation
for
allocation
resurfacing,
just
under
three
million
at
two
million
nine
hundred
and
thirty
thousand.
This
would
be
funded
from
t
splost
discretionary
budget
bridge
maintenance
at
six
hundred
thousand
from
t
splost
discretionary
funds
school
flashers
to
upgrade
the
flashers
at
the
school
crossings.
L
270
000
road
improvements,
2.9
million,
just
under
3
million
dollars.
There
is
not
a
specific
project
allocated.
The
recommendation
would
be
different
based
on
whether
or
not
the
t
splost
passes.
So
we'll
come
back
to
you
with
a
specific
project
recommendation.
There's
lots
of
projects
on
the
tspos
list.
We
have
various
studies
that
are
underway
that
are
not
completed
so
we'll
come
back
to
you
with
a
recommendation
for
the
road
improvement
project
of
2.9
million,
or
it
could
be
projects,
the
dragonfly
trail
extension
at
780,
000
and
lmig.
L
L
L
The
recommendation
for
transportation
1.5
in
year,
one
out
of
the
total
of
25
million
for
resurfacing,
specifically
for
storm
water,
2.7
million
of
the
total
amount
of
20
million
2.7
to
be
allocated
in
year,
one
for
these
three
specific
projects
that
was
included
in
the
splost
list.
That
would
be
the
riverwalk
at
light.
Pole
88,
which
is
just
north
of
the
city
mills.
L
We
have
already
started
that
project
council
authorized
us
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
that
project
and
that
will
be
reimbursed
from
splost
the
front
avenue
combined
sewer
system
at
1.3
million
and
the
buena
vista
road
drainage
at
400
000.,
and
these
were
projects
that
were
provided
to
us
by
our
consultant.
They
rated
all
of
about
15
projects
on
our
list
as
a
through
f.
These
were
three
that
were
on
the
f
project
list
and
needed
immediate
attention.
L
D
L
L
For
the
parks
and
recreation,
this
pool
and
splash
pad
would
be
a
combination,
and
this
is
an
allocation
for
each
one
of
those
three
pools:
shirley
winston
salmon
road
and
rigdon
park
for
five
million
dollars.
What
that
will
look
like
will
obviously
come
back
to
council
for
approval,
but
the
the
desire
is
to
have
a
combination
pool
splash
pad
at
each
one
of
those
three
locations,
as
well
as
two
additional
mini
splash
pads
at
locations
throughout
the
city,
and
so
those
as
this
is
the
budget
that
we're
recommending.
L
L
L
One
would
be
the
bull
creek
clubhouse
replacement
to
start
that
design
the
renovations
at
oxbow
creek
design
and
then
also
the
bridge
replacement
at
oxbow
creek.
So
this
would
be
the
design
in
year,
one
and
then
the
actual
construction
would
be
in
year.
Two
in
year
three,
I
t
500
000
out
of
the
5
million.
L
L
L
This
is
the
replacement
of
four
or
the
renovation
of
three
the
replacement
of
one
fire
station,
as
well
as
improvements
to
the
public
safety
building.
The
recommendation
is
500
000
out
of
the
20
million
to
start
the
design
work
on
the
replacement
of
fire
station
5.,
and
we
have
worked
with
the
fire
chief
to
handle
the
station
most
important
to
the
fire
department
first,
and
that
is
station
five
and
so
we'll
start
the
design
work
for
station
five
in
year.
One.
B
L
So
for
public
safety
vehicles
and
equipment,
budgeting
2
million
86
446
out
of
the
total
allocation
of
24
million
for
public
safety
vehicles
and
equipment,
a
recommendation
for
year,
one
is
the
river
road
tower
replacement
at
a
million
fifty
and
then
for
police.
Three
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
four
eighty
two
out
of
the
total
allocation
of
for
police
of
seven
point:
six
five
million.
L
This
would
be
for
five
pursuit
explorers
with
equipment
packages
at
three
hundred
and
nine
thousand,
so
the
balance
of
that
will
remain
in
the
category
for
police,
public
safety
vehicles
and
equipment.
Obviously,
we
can't
buy
a
half
of
a
vehicle
and
so
it'll
be
carried
over
to
the
next
fiscal
year
as
we
continue
to
allocate
pay-as-you-go
projects.
L
Ems
allocation
of
345
482,
the
fire
department,
as
we've
had
discussions
with
them.
This
will
be
reserved
for
them
and
coupled
with
their
allocation
in
year,
two
in
order
for
them
to
replace
either
a
quent
or
an
engine.
That's
a
million
dollar
replacement,
and
so
this
will
just
be
reserved
for
them
as
we
move
into
year.
Two
and
last
is
the
heavy
equipment
vehicles.
B
Thank
you
and
now
you're
going
to
do
the
indigent
care
update.
Yes,.
L
L
So
there
was
previous
discussion
about
indigent
care.
A
lot
of
this
responds
to
some
of
the
comments
that
were
made
again
instant
care.
We
are
coming
off
of
a
30-year
contract
that
was
with
the
medical
center
hospital
authority.
They
then,
in
turn,
contracted
with
the
medical
center,
which
is
now
piedmont
that
contract
ends
june
30th
of
2022.
L
It
was
set
up
to
be
three
mills
to
the
medical
center,
and
so
that
is
ending.
What's
recommended
in
the
budget
is
2.5
mills,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that.
So
I
won't
get
into
much
detail
about
the
allocation,
but,
as
you
remember,
section,
7-102
of
the
columbus
charter
required
an
amendment
council
did
pass
a
resolution
to
request
the
local
legislative
delegation
to
introduce
a
local
act
that
would
update
and
redefine
that
health
care
purposes
up
to
three
mills
that
happened
in
october.
L
So
our
legislative
delegation
took
that
the
house
had
the
first
read
on
february
22nd.
It
was
passed
in
the
house
on
march
11
passed
in
the
senate
on
march
16th
sent
to
the
governor
march
6th,
and
it
was
signed
by
the
governor
on
april.
The
I'm
sorry
april
6th
and
then
on
april
18th,
was
signed
by
the
governor,
so
we've
been
waiting
for
this
to
be
passed
in
order
to
move
forward
with
the
budget.
L
What
we'd
like
to
do
is
come
back
with
a
resolution
at
the
next
council
meeting
for
the
support
for
city
council's
consideration
on
how
we
move
forward
with
indigent
care.
L
The
thought
is
to
issue
an
rfp
for
indigent
care
or
other
county
health
care
services.
We've
talked
about
how
the
intention
is
to
have
multiple
contracts
for
indigent
care.
This
also
would
cover
inpatient
and
outpatient
services
for
inmates
at
the
muscogee
county
jail.
They
are
treated
at
the
jail
for
certain
services,
but
when
they
are
required
to
have
more
extensive
services,
then
there's
a
cost
associated
with
that.
So
this
allocation
for
indigent
care
would
also
cover
those
inmates.
L
Medical
services
for
indigent
persons
in
muskogee
county
includes
x-rays,
laboratory,
primary
care,
pharmaceuticals,
mental
health
services.
So
we
want
to
open
this
up
to
not
just
one
hospital,
as
it's
been
done
over
the
last
30
years,
but
also
to
primary
care
facilities.
We've
used
the
example
of
mercymed
and
valley
healthcare
who
provide
services
to
indigents
as
well.
L
I
think
the
dates
have
now
been
pushed
one
week,
but
the
the
tax
collection
is
in
october
and
december,
so
obviously
we
will
not
have
funding
available
to
initiate
any
type
of
payment
to
any
individual,
so
we'll
be
working
on
the
rfp
going
through
the
proposals
for
the
rfp
coming
back
to
council
to
execute
those
contracts
over
the
next
several
months,
so
that
when
funding
is
allocated
and
received
from
the
city
will
be
have
the
funding
to
you
know
pay
for
the
contracts
that
council
approves.
L
So
that
is
our
our
basic
timeline
for
indigent
care,
as
we
continue
to
move
forward.
B
H
M
L
N
So
do
we
have
an
idea
how
this
co?
These
contracts
are
going
to
be
structured,
so
that
to
to
make
sure
that
muskogee,
county
residents
are
the
ones
that
are
getting
taken
care
of,
so
that
we'll
stay
a
little
bit
more
in
control
of
it.
Instead
of
giving
the
funds
to
the
entity
and
then
they
can
use
it
to
reimburse
their
expenses
for
anything.
So
we
have
a
little
bit
more
control.
L
So
there
will
be
some
accountability
on
the
entity
side
to
make
sure
that
who
they're
serving
and
that
they
meet
the
requirements,
and
it
will
be
on
a
reimbursement
basis.
So
they'll
submit
not
names.
Not
we
don't
want
to
know.
You
know
in
obviously
individual
health
records,
but
there
will
be
reporting
required
for
them
to
submit
to
us
in
order
to
make
payment
under
the
contract.
B
If
not
thank
you
very
much.
I
do
want
to
say
I've
been
looking
out
at
our
audience
here
and
there
are
several
people
in
the
audience
that
I
want
to
bring
your
attention
to.
One
is
our
human
resources
director
aretha
hollowell
aretha
was
here
in
case
there
were
questions
about
the
health
plan
and
so
forth,
and
we
appreciate
you
sitting
in
this
session
this
afternoon,
the
other
people
that
I
would
like
to
note.
B
F
Right,
so
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
you
know
like
I
said
they
are
behind
the
scenes,
people
and
they
put
out
when
it's
time
to
put
it
out.
You
know
the
day
before
the
budget
was
presented
by
the
mayor.
We
all
were
working
until
about
one
o'clock
that
morning
trying
to
make
sure
that
it
was
all
together.
So
I
do
want
to
thank
the
assistant,
finance
director
here,
nicholas
clinch
scales,
to
my
right
and
in
the
very
back
of
the
room,
the
budget
analyst
and
my
very
dedicated
budget
analyst
shanelle,
johnson
and
anthony
montgomery.
B
B
Any
one
of
our
counselors,
let's
see
miss
councillor
woodson.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to
also
say
thank
you
because
they're
behind
the
scenes,
and
no
one
ever
knows
about
them
and
all
the
work
that
they
do
rccg
channel
tv
channel
they
ensure
and
our
I.t
ensure
that
everything's
running
smoothly,
so
that
the
finance
department
and
city
manager
and
the
mayor's
office
be
able
to
provide
us
with
everything
that
we
need.
So
I
thought
that
was
very
important
too,
and
I
appreciate
that
we
recognize
our
our
staff
because
they
work
so
hard
and
they're.
G
Barely
ever
recognized,
they're
like
silent
heroes,
making
us
look
good
and
also
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
clerk
of
council
and
one
of
her
team
members,
miss
tamika
for
making
sure
that
we
stay
straight.
G
B
G
G
C
Yes,
ma'am,
as
you
used
to
be
a
teacher,
you
want
to
make
sure
you
saw
me
so
yeah,
no
just
a
thought.
I
know
that
we
don't
have
many
if
any
signed
up
on
the
10th,
and
I
don't
want
to
have
a
meeting
just
to
meet.
But
what
you
said
earlier
kind
of
struck
a
chord,
and
that
is
that
we
speak
government
ease.
It
might
be
a
great
opportunity
to
have
some
faqs.
C
You
know
some
frequently
asked
questions
that
people
have
about
budget
explaining
how
the
old
loss
flows
instead
of
just
looking
at
it
in
in
our
audit
or
in
our
our
budget.
That's
online
talk
about
the
difference
in
the
restrictions
between
splost
and
olafs.
Talk
about
some
of
the
funds,
some
of
the
the
designated
funds
that
we
have
to
that
we're
restricted
in
into
how
that
money
can
be
used,
can't
get
it
all
in
in
one
meeting.
B
Well,
I
know
that
as
a
counselor,
I
often
get
questions
the
same
question
from
several
different
people,
and
that
would
be
a
good
way
to
answer
some
of
those
so
think
about
that,
and
let's
see
what
we
can
do
on
the
on
the
10th
to
answer
some
of
those.
Some
of
those
questions,
anything
else
for
the
good
of
the
order.
