A
Good
evening,
everybody
thank
you
all
for
coming
tonight.
This
is
one
topic,
and
one
topic
only
is
about
the
the
millage
looking
at
the
roll
we're
all
present,
with
the
exception
of
miss
Malcolm,
who
I
think
has
just
turned
into
the
parking
lot
so
she'll
be
joining
us
momentarily,
so
we
do
have
a
quorum
and,
from
the
very
beginning,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Probst
to
discuss
Thank.
B
You
mayor
really,
this
is
a
meeting
that
will
not
require
any
action
of
any
kind,
we're
just
trying
to
kind
of
take
the
temperature
as
staff
I
kind
of
get
your
direction
as
to
how
we're
gonna
go
so
that
we
can
proceed
with
the
proper
advertisements.
Should
we
have
to
go
down
that
road
of
potentially
increasing
the
millage
rates?
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
we
do
everything
by
the
book
and
no
sense
in
putting
out
advertisements
and
curating
any
calls
for
alarm
or
whatnot.
If
we're
not
going
to
go
down
that
road.
Potentially.
B
So
that's
what
this
meetings
about
and
for
Beth
Thompson
to
explain.
Our
recently
received
consolidation
of
the
digest
and
comparisons
from
the
prior
years
on
our
tax
rates,
and
so
you
can
get
a
little
bit
better
understanding
of
kind
of
where
we
are
to
date
and
where
we've
come
from,
and
what
some
of
the
major
changes
are
ahead
of
us
for
the
next
year.
C
What
used
to
be
clear
view
hospital
when
they
were
clear
view
they
were
taxed
now
they
are
under
Piedmont.
They
are
a
nonprofit
status.
Therefore
they
are
not
taxed
so
that
hit
our
digest
really
hard
going
down.
You'll
see
another
big
decreases:
$800,000
there
about
on
a
motor
vehicle.
That
is
to
do
to
the
new
title
laws,
which
now
is
under
a
ta
VT.
Some
of
you
know
if
you
buy
vehicle
now
you
don't
pay
that
advil
arm
every
year.
C
When
you
renew
your
hug,
you
pay
it
up
front
and
it's
a
one-time
fee
and
it
goes
to
the
state.
The
state
didn't
Divis
it
out
to
counties
and
taxes
in
cities
as
they
have
there
on
their
calculation.
We
have
no
way
of
knowing
that,
so
we
we
just
kind
of
at
their
mercy
or
what
they
send
us
and
if
you'll
see
down
below
that
the
ta
VT
collections
towards
the
bottom,
under
that
blue
highlighted
you'll,
see
that
it
kind
of
is
starting
to
increase
a
little
bit
but
we're
nowhere
near
recouping
where
we
were.
C
If
you
look
back
in
2016
and
their
motor
vehicle
on
that
first
line
out
on
that
top,
that
collection
was
at
eight
million
dollars
and
we're
now
down
to
three
million.
Almost
you
know,
3.8
million,
so
we're
not
recouping
that
under
the
ta
VT
collections
at
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
So
those
are
the
two
big
items
that
are
hitting
us,
the
worst
and
in
our
digest
for
2019.
The
total
digest
is
four
hundred
twenty
two
thousand
dollars.
C
It's
only
a
three
point:
five
million
dollar
increase,
which
is
less
than
a
percent
increase
from
last
year,
I'm,
the
next
color-coded
section
and
you'll,
see
the
revenue
comparisons.
What
I've
done
is
some
analysis
of
the
rollback
rate.
The
rollback
rate
would
be
at
seven
point,
one
four,
eight
mils
and
I'll
just
go
down
on
that
light
on
them,
so
we
can
see
the
comparisons
of
all
those
the
tax
generated
at
the
rollback
rate
would
be
at
three
million
dollars.
C
Our
collection
rate
right
now
with
the
county
collecting
for
us,
is
that
about
96
percent
collection
right,
which
is
really
good.
So
that
would
be
at
two
point
almost
9
million
collection.
The
2019
budget
is
at
two
point:
nine,
four,
nine
seven,
eight
nine
million
you'll
see
over
there
in
the
pink
based
on
our
budget
versus
the
collection
rate
of
96%.
If
we
did
the
full
rollback
and
it
would
be
a
decrease
of
almost
$54,000
in
collections
based
on
what
our
budget
is,
so
it
would
be
at
a
deficit.
C
Two
seven
seven
Mills
now
keep
in
mind
if
we
keep
the
same
that
we're
having,
but
we
have
now
at
seven
point
two:
seven
seven
we're
gonna
have
to
advertise
as
an
increase
because
we're
not
doing
the
robot
so
anything
other
than
option
a
would.
We
would
have
to
do
it
advertisement
as
a
notice
as
an
increase
so
as
you'll
see
that
the
main
line
item
on
that
is
the
bottom
orange
one.
C
If
you'll
see,
if
we
did
that
the
same
millage
rate
of
seven
point,
two,
seven
seven
and
we'd
only
see
a
twenty
four
thousand
dollar
increase
over
the
prior
year
and
you
can
see
each
of
those
options
that
effect
on
the
taxpayer.
Is
the
next
section
below
that
and
that's
based
on
each
of
those
millage
rate
of
what
the
effect
of
the
taxpayer
at
a
$60,000
or
that's
the
taxable
rate
at
$150,000
property
up
to
a
$250,000
property
at
the
forty
percent
tax
rate?
C
All
y'all
are
kind
of
digesting
that
I'll
kind
of
point
out
a
couple
things
that
our
revenues
under
the
general
fund
are
almost
right.
Where
we
had
budgeted
I
mean
we
are,
we
couldn't
have
done
any
better
right
now
with
an
estimate
because,
of
course,
property
taxes
haven't
started
coming
in
yet
so
we're
at
a
zero
percent
collection
right
now
in
mid-year,
and
that
is
what
does
she
does.
C
If
I
did
an
estimate
of
a
half
a
year
of
collections,
which
would
be
at
1.4
million,
which
is
50
percent
that
would
get
us
at,
we
would
be
at
a
fifty
one
point,
two
percent
collection
of
our
revenue
versus
what
we
budgeted.
So
our
revenue
for
the
general
fund
is
right,
where
we
budgeted
for
mid-year,
so
we're
not
collecting
anymore
we're
not
collecting
a
whole
lot
less.
So
we're
right
where
we
need
to
be
now
that
is
based
on
for
the
current
year.
Budget
is
mm-hmm,
we
do
have
a
safer
grant.
C
So
you're
looking
at
about
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
that
we'll
have
to
one
hundred
forty
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand,
depending
on
where
that
falls
of
what
we're
going
to
have
to
have
that
added
expense
that
we're
gonna
have
for
next
year
that
we're
not.
We
didn't
have
this
year.
B
It
varies
based
on
your
value
up
your
digest,
but
and
what
your
payment's
so
for
this
year
it
was
one
point:
nine,
eight
one
mils
totaling,
eight
hundred
and
eighty
one
thousand
eight
hundred
eighty
eight
dollars
and
the
debt
payment.
That's
gonna,
roll
off
for
2020,
okay,
but
remember
actions
taken
over
the
past
couple
years.
We've
got
that's
probably
going
to
absorb
some
of
this
as
well,
so
we
have
the
Walton
Plaza
purchase
payment
from
a
couple
years
ago.
That'll
be
one
hundred
and
seventeen
thousand
four.
B
Eighty
three
we've
got
the
Walton
Plaza
Police
Department
bond
that'll
be
one
eighty,
seven
to
sixty
the
safer
grant.
That
Beth
mentioned
weed
into
some
of
that
and
in
reimbursement
of
utility
funds
for
some
of
the
downtown
Green
property
acquisition,
so
that'll
probably
be
just
under
$300,000
there.
All.
E
F
D
B
Correct
it
just
doesn't
give
you
anything
else,
I'm
just
putting
this
out
here.
It
doesn't
give
you
anything
else
for
additional
police
additional
fire
parks.
It
doesn't
give
you
any
any
of
that.
So
general
fund
activities
are
pretty
much
about
it.
Their
limits,
property
maintenance,
marshals,
we've
kind
of
been
holding
back
on
hiring
those
just
try
to
keep
the
budget
level.
You
know,
like
Beth,
said
we're
51%
revenues
and
we're
about
it.
B
A
A
H
G
H
B
In
some
regards
yeah,
but
in
other
ways
it
makes
it
a
little
easier
because
you
know
the
money
we're
gonna
work
with
for
the
budget,
so
we
this
is
the
bulk
of
our
general
fund
budget.
So,
if
whatever
you
guys
set
in
a
in
a
few
weeks,
that's
what
we're
gonna
have
to
live
with
with
the
budget.
So
there's
no
there's
no
guessing
about
what
it's
gonna
be
I,
understand.
H
H
B
C
And
and
I
know
on
that,
as
when
we
worked
on
operating
budgets
last
year,
when
department
heads
came
to
us
initially
mm-hmm,
we
had
to
have
that
conversation
with
them.
We
had
to
cut
their
budgets
every
one
of
them,
because
the
revenues
just
weren't
there
and,
like
Larry,
said
we
are
on
the
front
end
of
it.
So
we're
basing
this
on
the
20/20
budget.
We
don't
know
what
the
expenses
are.
This
is
assuming
our
expenses
stay,
the
same
as
they
are
now.
C
B
A
A
H
H
H
E
B
B
They
may,
if
it
depends
when
they
get
their
CEO,
so
sometimes
you
can
run
an
almost
two
year
lag
based
on
when
something
is
built
on
the
ground
and
by
the
time
it
actually
gets
picked
up
and
taxed
by
the
Assessors
and
Tax
Commissioner.
So
we
did
show
an
on
point.
Four:
four
percent
increase
in
the
residential
on
the
tax
digest.
That's
pretty
big!
That's
the
biggest
we've
seen
in
many
years
here,
but
unfortunately
it
was
completely
wiped
out
by
the.
B
B
E
B
This
together,
you
know
just
for
your
own
awareness.
You
know,
like
I,
said,
no
decisions
have
to
be
made,
but
we
just
have
to
make
the
advertisements
in
the
proper
legal
fashion.
If
it's
something
that
could
be
considered,
we
still
have
to
put
it
out
there.
You
guys
can
always
change
your
mind
in
a
few
weeks
or
just
operating
by
the
state
law,
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights
and
the
timing
of
the
tax
in.
B
E
B
B
C
An
eye
care
remember:
alright.
Our
last
payment
is
this
year,
which
is
eight
hundred
eighty
one
thousand
dollars
so
it'll
be
paid
off
and,
assuming,
let's
say,
I
seen
that
that
was
paid
off
last
year.
This
year
we
could
go
with
the
seven
point,
two
seven
seven
mil
rate,
which
we
wouldn't
it
would
be
in
effect
of
what
the
rollback
would
be,
so
we
wouldn't
have
to
advertise
as
an
increase,
so
less
assuming
we're
at
what
next
year.
But
this
was
last
year
and
that
was
paid
off
last
year.
I
B
E
H
D
J
J
H
B
G
B
B
E
I
E
B
A
H
J
B
G
B
Got
to
take
care
of
it.
That's
that's
what
we
use
to
mow
the
grass
at
the
parks
and
whatnot
in
the
future.
If
you
did
a
bond,
it
depends.
What
kind
of
is
it
may
have
to
be
taken
out
of
the
Emma?
No
military
as
well?
If
you
don't
do
a
geo,
I,
don't
know
what
other
structure
we
do
right
now,
just
but
I'm,
just
thinking
since
you
mentioned
it
that
would
have
to
be
absorbed
out
of
the
Emma.
No,
so
think
about
that
you
gotta
take
care
of
it.
B
I
B
B
H
B
B
D
C
C
D
B
A
H
C
B
C
C
H
D
I
hate
to
see
us
do
what
some
other
cities
have
done,
just
use
their
utility
fund
and
because
my
philosophy
is
that
when
we
accumulate
the
proper
reserves
that
we
need
in
utilities,
we
ought
to
lower
rates
and
not
use
it
to
supplement
things
that
our
general
fund
things
that
other
cities,
other
cities
don't
have
utilities
and
I
mean
they
having
to
pay
for
this
stuff,
and
they
do
it
with
taxes
and
that's
the
proper
accounting
weight
to
do
it.
In
my
opinion,
even
though
some
live
off
of
their
utility
totally
I.
E
A
Day
to
day,
operations
should
be
paid
for
taxes.
The
day-to-day
operations
capital
improvements
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
I
could
see
having
the
utility
fund
provide.
Frankly,
if
the
utility
fund
comes
in
and
puts
in
a
park
that
attracts
more
people
here,
that's
just
more
utilities
to
be
used,
so
Capital
Improvement
great,
but
not
day-to-day
operations.
D
H
Know
jonno
clarified
that
I
mean
cities
that
don't
have
utilities
like
that
tree
they're
getting
franchise
fees
from
Georgia
Powell's.
They
still
pays
the
day-to-day
operation.
They
do
have
utility
money
pays
for
day-to-day
operation.
If
it's
non
utility
city,
they
do
it
through
franchise
fees,
right
I,.
D
D
A
B
B
I
B
B
B
B
The
bond
millage
is
rolling
off.
We
took
that
into
the
EMA.
No,
we
have
a
little
bit
of
a
gap
to
deal
with
certain
things.
Is
it
gonna
be
enough
to
do
everything
we
want
to
for
2020?
Absolutely
so
I
guess
you
just
needed
to
ask
yourselves
yeah
how
to
prioritize,
and
what
can
you
have
here
for
the
next
year
before
we
get
into
you
know
further
priorities
such
as
parks
and
whatnot?
B
B
B
I
B
B
J
At
some
point
to
vest
in
the
people
of
Monroe
I
mean
roads
are
good.
Sidewalks
are
good,
but
you
know
talking
about
attracting
industry.
It's
like
Shane
was
talking
about
his
bill,
and
this
is
definitely
not
verbatim,
but
you
know,
industry
is
looking
for
downtown
centers
that
have
that
live
work
and
play
component.
You
look
at
hammock
Park
an
activity
alley
and
there
there's
people
in
it
all
the
time
which
is
driving.
J
C
And
to
piggyback
off
of
what
rolls
just
said
when
you
bring
people
into
downtown,
obviously
the
net
effect
of
that
is
even
if
they
don't
live
here,
we're
getting
sales
tax
dollars
from
that
which
we
have
seen
increased
over
the
last
couple
years
and
also
to
touch
on
what
Lee
said.
We
are
keep
it
in
department
heads
accountable
for
their
budget
every
month,
I'm
looking
at
those
numbers,
if
they're
over
budget
anywhere
I'll
make
them,
do
a
budget
amendment
within
their
department
to
make
them
accountable.
C
So
they're,
just
spinning,
spinning
spinning
think
it's
a
pre
for
all
the
only
area
that
we
see
that
is
inching
towards,
where
more
than
where
it
needs
to
be.
For
this
time
of
year
is
interns
I
mean
it's
because
of
the
claims
that
we're
having
when
you're
self-insured,
that's
just
something
that
comes
along
control.
You
have
a
lot
of
things
that
go
on,
so
that's
the
only
area
that
we
see
that
may
potentially
get
where
it
may
fall
over
budget
is
here
right
now.
B
C
B
D
F
B
C
One
thing
to
know
is
when
we
start
seeing
the
growth
hit,
the
digest
in
probably
2021
in
reality,
you'll
also
see
utility
increase
as
well,
so
that
5%
6%
whatever
we
are
at
that
point,
6.5
percent
is
gonna,
be
an
increase
as
well,
so
our
digest
will
grow
or
utility
transfers
will
grow
so
hopefully
by
Twenty
twenty
one,
twenty
Twenty
twenty
two
we'll
see
the
net
effect
of
all
the
growth.
That's
starting
to
happen.
Now,
it's
just
it's
gonna,
be
it's
gonna
be
hard
getting
there.
Imagine.
A
B
We
have
all
this
stuff,
let's
we're
just
ready,
ready
to
get
there
and
we're
not
there.
So
what
you
know
this
figure
here,
looking
at
$429,000
on
some
maximum
option.
Well,
that
made
that
may
happen
in
a
year
team
right.
We
may
get
there
we're
just
saying
you
know
under
the
environment,
we're
working
it
now
for
next
year.
How
do
we
kind
of
ensure
that
we're
not
on
the
razor's
edge
all
the
time?
And
you
know
you
can't
afford
to
have
strange
things-
happen:
bad
health
insurance
claims
or
whatever
it
may
be,
workers
comp
claims.
B
A
G
It's
a
little
bit
less
than
D
and
it's
more
than
C,
but
I.
Concur.
We
mr.
Bradley
on
that
and
I
tell
you
why
it
was
back
to
what
I
said.
Initially,
we
have
a
responsibility
to
act
in
a
physic,
fiscally
responsible
way
that
cuts
to
ways
that
doesn't
mean
that
every
time
we
voted
on
something
we
just
automatically
Robles
something
back,
because
that's
politically
popular,
yet
I'd
be
saying
something
different.
G
If
we
had
a
national
economy
that
was
struggling,
I
hadn't
checked
it
today,
but
the
last
time
I
looked
stock
market
is
over
27,000
on
the
Dow
Jones.
Is
there,
we've
got
a
national
economy.
This
roaring
we've
got
a
local
economy,
that's
doing
very
well
and
I
think
we
would
do
our
community
a
disservice.
If
we
get
so
concerned
about
what
someone
might
say
about
the
percentage
or
something
I
just
agree
with
with
Larry
I
think
the
I.
G
We
need
to
structure
this
in
such
a
way
that
we
could
hit
200,000
in
that
orange
rather
than
what
is
it
237
and
I.
Think
that
puts
us
in
a
position
where
we're
secure
we're
not
walking
that
razor's
edge
every
single
second,
because
you
know
yeah
people
do
sometimes
complaining
about
the
percentages,
but
I.
G
Don't
think
there's
going
to
be
some
major
outrage
over
something
like
this.
What
people
expect
is
their
elected
officials
to
act
responsibly,
to
give
them
rational
reasons
for
what
we
do
and
not
just
be
doing
something
willy-nilly,
because
you
know
it's
it's
politically
popular
or
whatever
and
people
expect
services.
You
can't
get
the
services
if
you
don't
have
the
revenue
so.
I
We
need
to
be
in
a
position
that
if
we
promise
those
additional
services
that
we're
going
to
deliver
absolutely
and
I'm
serious
about
that-
that
you
know
we
can't
just
hold
back
again
and
another
six
months
pass
and
then
the
public
sees
nothing
in
the
efforts
we've
made
to
increase
the
taxes.
In
order
to
do
this.
So
that's
my
point.
It's.
F
H
I
D
B
D
It
will
match
I
mean
it'll
match
the
boys
we're
whole
year
behind
it'd
be
great.
If
we
had
the
reserves,
I
mean
in
the
years
past
we'd
have
to
borrow
from
the
utility
fund
to
pay
the
bills
till
the
end
of
the
year
until
the
collection
starts.
But
the
point
is
it's
to
fund
the
2019
budget.
It
is
because.
D
D
B
B
B
Of
things
we
talked
about
or
the
Marshall
position,
property
maintenance
position,
we
have
not
hired
those
yet
and
then
we
were
gonna
do
a
mid-year
review
of
the
two
police
officers.
Well,
our
mid-year
review
is
right
in
bestest
that
you
know
5149
that
doesn't
give
us
the
the
space
for
the
two
police
officers.
