Bill
has
indicated
that
he
is
not
willing
to
serve
his
chair
for
personal
reasons.
He's
busy
and
I'm
not
willing
to
serve
as
vice
chair
got
too
much
on
my
plate,
and
so
it's
probably
appropriate
to
gather
together
and
decide
who's
going
to
be
chair
and
vice
chair,
and
we
can
do
that
at
the
april
meeting.
I
I
C
B
No,
my
time
commitments
is
just
it's
slammed.
You
know
like
I
can
do
you
know
the
monthly
meeting.
That's
I
don't
see
that
being
an
issue,
but
with
the
new
projects
we
have
coming
on
board
and
what
I
perceive
to
be
the
time
involved
in
the
septic
to
sewer
conversion
new
wastewater
plant,
along
with
other
regular
business.

The
average
flow
to
the
town
was
is
5.367
again,
I
don't.
If
you
have
questions
we'll,
go
over
all
the
numbers,
but
just
to
show
you
I
know
a
lot
of
you
were
involved
with
the
ro
plant
from
those
numbers.
What
you
see
here
is
a
comparison
of
the
blue
line.
Is
our
maximum
contaminant
level
for
total
dissolved
solids?
A
A
J
Steve
leonard,
we
got
it
back,
it
was
shipped
out
to
I
want
to
say
wisconsin,
but
don't
hold
me
on
that.
It
was
shipped
out
somewhere
out
west
because
they
couldn't
come
on
site
due
to
the
covid
thing.
They
got
it
back.
We
were
still
somewhat
uncomfortable
with
how
much
it
wobbled.
So
we
got
the
manufacturer
to
okay,
the
contractor
pouring
a
giant
concrete
base
around
it
with
rebar
and
everything
else,
and
and
now
it's
it's
good
to
go.
B
A
I
G
So
the
first
slide
we
have
here
today
is
our
septic
to
sewer
program,
and
in
this
graphic
you
can
see
the
scope
of
the
project
is
identified
in
these
three
areas,
which
we
call
area
one
two
three,
a
lot
of
people
call
this
charlotte
park.
I'm
not
really
comfortable
with
that,
because
really
charlotte
park
is
a
teeny,
tiny
part
of
area
one.
G
So
what
we'll
be
doing
now
is
we
have
some
notes
up
here.
I'm
sure
you've
read
these
we're
going
to
start
a
preliminary
design
report,
which
is
going
to
basically
lay
out
a
conceptual
gravity
system,
a
conceptual
vacuum
system
and
do
a
cost
estimate
as
to
which
project
would
be
the
most
cost
favorable.
G
The
master
plan
was
completed
in
july
of
18
and
then
it
they
did
some
additional
financing
study
and
then
that
was
presented
to
this
board
in
august
and
then
the
next
step
with
city
council
has
authorized
us
to
do
the
preliminary
design
report.
This
is
just
a
summary
of
where
we
are
on
that
project.
We've
selected
our
engineer.
It's
gimples
and
webster.
G
So
these
are
the
primary
steps
of
the
study
surveying
conceptual
layout.
We'll
do
some
preliminary
hydraulics.
This
helps
with
the
ability
to
do
the
cost
estimate
and
then,
of
course,
we'll
do
the
cost.
Estimating
and
then
there'll
be
a
preliminary
design
report
which
will
be
presented
to
this
board.
Anti-City
council.
G
A
You
know
develop
properties
versus
undeveloped
properties
right
because
there's
a
whole
there's
a
whole
discussion
about
what
do
you
do
with
the
undeveloped
properties?
Okay,
as
far
as
assessing,
if
there's
an
assessment
and
all
so
that'll
all
be
tied
together
in
the
cost
cost
analysis
of
the
project.
Okay,.
G
Okay,
any
questions
on
septic
the
sewer,
if
not
we'll,
be
moving
ahead.
Okay
proceed:
here
we
have
a
project
we're
working
on,
which
is
taylor,
road,
water,
main
replacement
and
shown
on
the
screen.
You
can
see
the
limits
of
the
project
to
the
north
is
airport
road
and
the
south
limit
would
be
the
alligator
creek.
G
G
G
And
here's
where
our
status
is
we've
collected
data
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
investigation
of
all
the
other
facilities
which
would
be
tico
gas
and
several
phone
and
comcast
lines,
because
we
like
to
know
in
advance
where
those
facilities
are,
and
we
did
an
alignment
study
to
decide
what
side
of
the
road
would
be.
Preferred.
G
You
know
we're
going
to
offset
it
a
couple
feet,
so
we
can
build
the
new
line
and
then
bring
all
the
new
connections
to
new
line,
disconnect
from
the
old
line,
we'll
probably
end
up
doing
like
a
thousand
two
thousand
feet
at
a
time
we're
doing
increments.
We're
not
gonna
do
the
whole
thing
as
one
project,
because
you
know
we
have
to
maintain
their
service
to
everyone,
and
we
also
have
to
deal
with
management
of
traffic
right.
We're
gonna
have
to
definitely
close
the
lane
and
flag.
G
G
We
have
a
preliminary
meeting
with
dot
staff
actually
this
month,
so
we're
going
to
learn
more
about
the
scope
of
their
project
in
that
meeting.
Okay,
they
call
it
a
pde
which
fdot
lingo
for
preliminary
design
and
environmental
analysis,
so
we'll
we'll
get
an
idea
on
the
scope
of
their
multi-use
path.
G
G
G
G
G
G
C
G
C
G
G
G
It's
a
12
inch
is
a
good
good
size
for,
for
this
particular
alignment,
we
get
lots
of
capacity
as
well
as
lots
of
flow
path.
For
you
know,
moving
that
water
through
multiple
pipes.
Okay,
we
feel
confident
12
inches
is
the
right
way
to
go.
10
inch
was
kind
of
an
oddball
size.
That's
what's
in
there
now.
Yes,
we
don't
build
10
inch.
We
go
right
from
8
to
12.,
so
it's
unusual
to
go.
You
know
these
really
large
sizes
on
water,
because
there's
so
many
pipes
right
so
there's
more
than
one
flow
path.
G
C
C
G
G
This
golf
course
boulevard.
It
would
be
over
here
to
the
right
edge
of
this
page
golf
course.
Boulevard
intersects
with
us
17.,
pretty
near
where
the
bermond
intersection
is
right.
Before
you
get
to
berman,
there's
a
signal:
that's
not
even
signalized.
That's
an
open
median
intersection
with
golf
course
boulevard
up
at
us
17,
and
if
you
go
south
from
there,
it
takes
you
down
towards
the
airport.
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
Here
we
go
there,
you
go
so
we
have
an
air
photo
of
the
surface
water
plant
on
the
screen
on
the
left
side
of
the
page
in
the
middle
you'll
see
there's
an
aerator
structure.
That's
where
the
raw
water
comes
into
the
facility,
then
on
both
sides,
we'll
see,
there's
a
flocculation
basin
where
we
begin
the
flock
process
with
alum
and
then
in
the
center
here
you'll
see,
there's
sedimentation
basins.
This
is
where
we,
you
know
most
of
the
water
sediment
is
removed.
G
G
G
Media
itself
needs
to
be
completely
changed
out,
so
we're
having
an
engineer,
look
at
that
in
the
meantime,
brian
typically
empties
the
basins
in
the
summertime
or
one
at
a
time,
and
he
did
empty
this
north
scu
basin
and
we've
determined
that
it
needs
to
be
rehabilitated
as
well.
So
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
here
in
this
next
slide.
If
I
can
get
it
back
on
here,
I
have
to
get
christian
to
show
me
how
to
do
it.
Oh
here
it
is.
G
G
G
They
have
to
have
the
concrete
where
they
can
put
this
surfacing
system
on
and
they
put
a
specialized
coating
on
to
protect
it,
and
you
have
to
get
everything
out:
every
single
pipe,
every
single
bracket,
every
single
fitting.
So
naturally,
once
that
stuff's
out
this
is
an
ideal
time
to
put
new
stuff
back.
So
that's
what
we're
looking
at
is
to
rehabilitate
the
north
scu
basin
and
the
two
filters.
G
G
You
know
the
scope
of
all
the
work
as
well
as
give
us
a
preliminary
cost
estimate
and
the
way
they
do
this
is
they
break
things
down
into
what
they
call
technical
memos.
So
each
component
they're
going
to
issue
a
technical
memo
and,
at
the
end,
we'll
get
a
complete
preliminary
design
report
which
we
will
bring
to
this
board.
G
H
G
G
G
We're
looking
at
all
the
chemical
systems
to
try
to
do
things
a
little
bit
better.
It
was
done
a
long
time
ago
and
technologies
have
changed
quite
a
bit
and
we
we
got
a
nice
taste
of
that
or
with
the
ro
plan,
because
everything
over
there
is
fantastic
using
all
the
modern.
I'm
sure
steve
would
love
to
explain
it.
G
It
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
more
cost
effective
and
better
for
us.
We've
already
switched
the
whole
plant
over
to
liquid
bleach
on
the
chlorine
side,
so
both
plants
are
running
on
on
bleach.
Now,
we're
looking
at
that's,
probably
going
to
make
sense
for
the
ammonia
as
well.
So
we
are
looking
at
that,
but
the
big
driver
is
to
just
do
some
hard.
You
know
some
major
maintenance
on
the
structures
themselves.
F
H
G
We're
definitely
doing
both
sides
of
the
filter.
There's
no
question
about
that.
So
most
likely
we'll
take
a
good
hard
look
at
the
south
unit
as
well.
All
right
right
now
we're
we're
going
to
do
this
one
first,
here's
the
north
unit-
it's
probably
the
oldest.
I
forget
the
sequence.
Steve
knows
more
about
this.
J
J
I'm
sorry-
and
we
were
considering
you
know,
doing
the
south
scu
a
few
years
down
the
road,
but
when
we
realized
how
much
material
was
down
in
there
that
was
going
to
need
to
be
removed,
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
just
hire
a
coder
and
then
hire
a
contractor
to
do
the
filters
and
then
a
contractor
to
do
this
because
you
end
up
paying
two
mobilizations.
You
end
up
paying
double
the
overhead,
so
we
basically
combine
these
two
projects,
so
the
engineering
will
work
for
both.
C
J
G
G
G
G
B
G
Yes,
and
no
theoretically,
on
paper
the
plant
we
have
is
rated
at
four,
but
we
don't
feel
confident
at
its
ability
to
operate
successfully
at
four.
So
the
goal
of
this
project
will
take
us
to
four
million
gallons
per
day.
Average
annual
demand
it's
5.7
for
peak
month
and
that's
the
biological
process
that
you
know
gives
us
our
bod
numbers
and
those
sort
of
things
and
then
we're
going
to
rate
it
for
approximately
10
mgd
hydraulic.
G
G
I
think
it's
in
both
of
the
capacity
analysis
and
it's
definitely
in
the
alternative
analysis.
It
shows
flows
and
loading
for
the
20-year
planning
period,
and
it
shows
us
that
this
plant
will
meet
our
needs
in
the
20-year
planning
period.
Okay,
now,
if
there's
unanticipated
growth,
there
is
the
ability
to
add
another
basin
right
here.
So
we'd
have
four
basins
instead
of
three,
and
we
could
add
us
another
clarifier
right
there.
So
we
have
the
ability,
to
probably
add
another,
two
mgd.
G
G
F
B
F
F
It
would
seem
to
me
that
cdm
could
squeeze
some
additional
capacity
out
of
this
improvement
that
they
could
meet
with
the
state,
show
them
what
you're
doing,
and
maybe
you
can
get
a
half
an
mgd
or
an
mgd
out
of
the
process
for
treatment.
I'm
talking
not
about
hydraulic,
I'm
talking
about
the
treatment
level
right
now,
it's
four
in
your
permit,
and
maybe
it
makes
sense.
You
know
we're
spending
a
lot
of
money
here
that
we
could
get
some
additional
capacity
on
paper,
and
that
would
be
a
wonderful
thing.
J
Capacity
as
far
as
biological
treatment
has
most
to
do
with
your
influent
dod
our
current
plant,
although
they
say
it's,
four,
our
influent
bod
loading
in
our
permit
is
much
lower
than
reality.
Our
plant
will
not
treat
four
million
gallons
today.
It
will
not
get
close.
If
we
get
to
about
three
five
for
two
or
three
days
in
a
row
that
plant's
going
to
upset
and
fail,
our
plant
was
actually
they
did
exactly
just
what
you
said.
It
was
built
as
a
1.6
million
gallon
plant
with
the
ability
to
expand
it
to
3.2.
J
J
Well,
if
we
adjust
the
bod
numbers,
we
can
now
call
it
a
four
million
gallon
plant.
So
it's
te,
it's
not
it
the
hydraulics
of
the
plant's
about
five
million,
so
it
will
not
handle
peak
day
anything
over
five
million.
We
start
overflowing
it
it.
I
know
it
sounds
like
you're,
but
building
a
4
million
4
or
4
million,
but
our
4
million
will
not
even
come
close
to
treating
4
million
and
meeting
regulatory
criteria.
J
Absolutely
for
mgd
at
a
given
bod
coming
in
you
know,
with
the
with
the
amount
of
bugs
and
solids
and
stuff
we
have
coming
in,
it
will
treat
four
million
gallons
yeah
and
technically
it's
a
six
million
gallon
plant,
but
the
way
dep
rates
stuff.
You
have
to
rate
everything
with
one
of
your
largest
units
out
of
service,
so
we
would
have
no
trouble
at
all
treating
six
million
if
all
the
units
were
in
service.
J
G
G
G
As
steve
was
saying,
you
know
the
clark
plans
way
back
when
they
designed
the
plant.
They
only
designed
for
175,
b.o.d
and
typically
wastewater
plants
are
designed
at
like
2,
200
and
220
considerably
higher
loading
than
what
was
even
used
in
the
design
of
these
older
processes.
So
they
were
under
design
from
day
one
and
then
so
the
load
is
higher.
Today,.
G
So
as
it
moves
horizontally
down
the
flow
path,
you're
going
to
have
a
known
amount
of
process
time
in
in
biological
reduction,
you
don't
get
that
with
total
mix.
So
this
is
a
much
more
efficient
system
when
you
use
the
plug
flow
design
where
it
comes
in
at
one
point
and
it
flows
down
the
channel
and
it
has
a
known
resonance
time,
a
known
time,
for
you
know,
reacting
with
the
dissolved
air,
much
much
better
design
process
than
what
we
have
with
the
round
tank.
Thank
you.
G
So
this
is
it's
a
good
project
and
it's
the
right
project
for
punigour
at
this
time.
So
the
next
step
is
a
design
services.
It's
gonna.
Take
15
months,
I
think,
to
complete
the
design
engineering
it's
12
to
50,
and
I
have
to
look
at
the
scope
again,
but
it's
a
little
bit
over
a
year
before
we
have
a
hundred
percent
plans.
G
G
We're
gonna,
do
a
basis
of
design
report
which
just
summarizes
what
we're
building
and
what
its
capacity
is.
We're
gonna
do
detailed
surveying
and
then
we're
going
to
do.
100,
design
permitting
and
we'll
be
using
a
cmar
to
deliver
this
project.
Construction
manager
at
risk
so
we'll
be
selecting
a
cmr
to
work
in
cooperation
with
our
design
engineer,
so
that
when
we
go
to
construction,
we'll
turn
the
whole
project
over
to
seymour
and
the
seymour
will
do
all
the
baiting
and
contracting.
G
G
I
B
H
Oops
sorry,
my
glasses
got
stuck
on
my
mask
there
good
morning,
chris
and
simeone
finance
director
for
the
record.
It's
nice
to
see
you
all
in
person,
so
I
provided
all
the
monthly
financials
from
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year,
but
we'll
just
go
over
february
unless
you
have
any
specific
questions
on
any
of
the
prior
ones.
H
So
the
revenue
report,
the
first
column,
is
our
year-to-date
estimated.
So
every
time
we
do
our
budget
when
we
plug
it
in
we
kind
of
say
well,
what
do
we
think
we're
getting
in
any
particular
month
for
revenues
and
where
do
our
expenditures
fall
as
far
as
when
they
becoming
due?
So
that's
how
we
do
our
year-to-date
estimated,
the
year-to-date
actual,
is
what
actually
came
in
as
of
that
date
and
where
we
are
percentage-wise
compared
to
what
we
originally
estimated.
H
So
as
you
can
see,
with
charges
for
services,
we're
doing
really
well
we're
pretty
much
almost
right
on
target
miscellaneous
revenue
is
up
a
little
bit.
We
did
have
the
increase
that
was
approved
for
impact
fees,
as
well
as
the
installation
rates
for
the
water
and
sewer,
so
the
impact
fees
wouldn't
be
in
this
fund,
but
the
installation
rates,
the
installation
costs
of
the
equipment
are
in
this
fund.
So
that's
where
you're
seeing
some
of
those
increases
coming
up,
transfer
for
water
and
sewer
impact
fees.
H
H
H
So
then,
for
non-departmental
and
capital
outlay,
again
we're
still
doing
very
well
there
and
our
transfer
to
construction
fund
and
debt
service
funds
are
on
target.
So
we've
done
those
for
construction
fund.
We
knew
that
we
had
a
lot
of
large
projects.
We
didn't
need
to
transfer
all
of
it
at
once,
so
we
transferred
6
million
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
about
halfway
through
we'll
transfer
the
rest.
H
And
this
just
breaks
down
it's
the
same
information.
You
just
don't
see
the
year-to-date
estimates,
even
though
we
put
some
percentages
in
there
at
the
bottom
for
where
we
are
year
to
date,
but
this
breaks
down
the
revenues
from
water
and
billings
water
and
sewer
billings,
so
we're
at
100
for
water
billings
at
the
end
of
february
and
102
for
sewer
billings.
H
When
we
compare
our
water
billings
and
again,
we
kind
of
focus
on
water,
because
that's
the
biggest
part
of
our
revenue
source.
When
we
look
at
it
from
february
of
2021
compared
to
where
we
were
at
february
2020.,
we
are
a
little
bit
less
we're
at
266
000
less
than
we
were
the
prior
year
and
again
it
can
be.
You
know
we
have
our
new
ami
system.
People
may
be
watching
their
water
a
little
bit
better.
H
When
you
look
at
the
prior
year,
encumbrances
and
prior
year,
reappropriations
those
are
for
funds
that
were
left
over
from
the
prior
year
that
the
division
had
the
encumbrances
were
already
committed
funds.
So
the
budget
moves
forward
from
the
prior
year
to
the
current
year
and
then
the
reappropriation
or
appropriations
are
taken
to
council
for
things
that
maybe
hadn't
been
completed
or
are
still
needed,
and
there
were
funds
left
over
from
the
prior
year,
so
they're
carried
over.
H
When
we
finish
our
audit,
we
will
update
the
beginning
balance
under
the
projection
column
for
beginning
reserves.
So
we
hope
to
have
that
to
you,
we're
still
finishing
it,
but
it'll
be
october
30th
when
we
have
it
completely
done.
I'm
sorry
april
30th,
I
shouldn't
say
october
30th
april
30th,
so
hopefully
we'll
have
that
either
in
the
next
monthly
one
or
the
one.
H
H
Show
you
where
we're
at
and
then,
as
once
requested,
we
always
show
it
compared
to
the
prior
year
and
again
some
of
it
can
be
a
little
skewed
so
like
in
this
particular
year.
You
see
that
first
month
of
october,
we
had
some
large
projects
this
year,
so
there
was
a
lot
more
funds
being
transferred
from
the
operations
fund
to
the
construction
fund.
H
H
And
then,
in
last
year
I
don't
know
if
you'll
recall,
but
it
I
know
it
kind
of
looks
a
little
funny
here,
but
just
a
as
a
refresher
where
some
of
the
months
don't
show
the
expenditures.
That
was
where
we
were.
Actually,
we
used
the
same
line
for
giving
the
money
pre-funding
the
money
for
the
ro
plant
before
we
got
the
revenues
in
for
the
the
grants
and
the
the
srf
loan.
H
So
when
we
paid
it
back
from
the
construction
fund
to
the
ro
to
the
operations
fund,
that's
why
you
kind
of
see
it
like
that
at
the
end
of
the
year,
we
actually
move
it
to
real
revenue
and
don't
show
it
that
way,
but
we
were
trying
to
keep
it
so
that
you
could
see.
Okay,
here's
where
it
went
out
and
here's
where
it
came
back
in
to
kind
of
have
that
net
zero.
H
H
We
can
infer
again
there's
many
factors
that
affect
this,
but
a
lot
of
people
didn't
come
down
right
away
due
to
covid,
so
they
might
have
waited
till
after
christmas,
or
things
like
that.
So
that
might
be
one
of
the
reasons
why
you
see
that,
and
so
then,
from
our
february
we're
pretty
much
almost
right
on
we're
a
little
just
a
tad
over,
but
so
overall
year
to
date,
we're
still
at
a
hundred
percent
any
questions
there.
H
Again,
this
is
a
year-to-date
one.
We
have
not
done
any
revised
projections.
We
are
going
to
be
starting
to
work
on
that
as
we
start
our
budget
process.
So
we'll
look
at
mid-year.
What
do
we
think
we're
going
to
get
through
the
rest
of
the
year?
I
can
make
this
a
little
bit
bigger
as
well.
That
makes
it
helpful.
H
H
Estimate
because
they
don't
fluctuate
as
much
as
the
usage
side
of
it,
water
inside
the
city,
limits
versus
water,
outside
the
city
limits
and
sewer
inside
the
city
limits
and
sewer
outside
the
city
limits
are
also
shown.
So
that's
what
we
mean
when
we
say
inside
or
outside,
and
you
can
see
where
each
one
of
those
groups
are
and
the
higher
side
is
on
on
the
outside
of
the
city.
Limits
is
doing
just
a
tad
better
than
the
inside
the
city,
but
overall
we're
still
very
close
to,
like
I
said,
projections.
H
H
I'm
not
gonna
go
over
the
whole
long
range
plan,
because
obviously
that
was
all
funds
of
the
city
unless
you
all
have
a
specific
one.
You
want
me
to
like
talk
about,
but
it
is
the
beginning
of
our
budget
process,
so
we
kind
of
want
to
let
you
know
our
original
thoughts
on
that.
So
when
I
I
do
want
to
bring
up
under
expenditures.
H
So
these
are
the
general
fund
assumptions
on
expenditures,
but
I'm
going
to
bring
them
up
here
for
utilities,
because
these
are
some
of
our
base
assumptions
and
they
cut
carry
over
to
a
lot
of
our
funds.
So
we
use
the
same
assumptions,
but
I
don't
put
them
on
separate
slides
for
every
fund
so
for
personnel,
the
estimated
increases
for
merits
are
going
to
be
are
currently
at
four
percent.
H
H
H
All
others
are
3
percent
in
utilities,
funds
again
you're
not
going
to
want
to
look
at
the
rest
for
the
general
fund,
but
they
sometimes
have
some
that
stay
flat
or
that
are
specific,
which
would
be
our
impact
fees
say
like
that,
so
those
are
things
that
we
would
specifically
talk
about.
So
I'm
going
to
get
to
that
section
next,
but
I
had
wanted
to
review
that
one
specifically
okay.
H
H
They
did
not
include
any
of
the
other
rate
increases
as
automatic.
So
again,
when
we
put
our
our
projections
together,
we
will
probably
show
them
without
increases
and
then
possibly
show
you
a
second
one,
as
we've
done
in
the
past,
with
some
rate
increases
again,
the
consultant
did
recommend
some
steady
increases
of
3.75.
H
However,
council
did
not
want
to
put
them
as
automatic,
because
some
of
our
timing
sometimes
can
cause
delays
and
they
might
not
be
needed
quite
as
early
as
is
projected
in
the
study,
because
again
we
have
regulatory
things
and
other
things
going
on.
That
sometimes
makes
us
delayed
in
some
of
our
projects.
H
H
We
do
transfers
for
renewal
and
replacement
projects,
as
identified
in
the
five-year
plan.
That's
the
1.1
million
dollars
and
then
other
priority
projects
as
scheduled
in
the
five-year
plan.
And
again
these
were
as
of
last
year
as
the
as
we
go
through
this
budget
process,
they'll
be
adding
in
another
year
plus
any
changes
that
they
see
in
the
current
five-year
plan.
H
So
this
was
the
pro
forma
and
again
you
can
see.
Our
targeted
reserve
is
about
3.1
million
and
even
though
in
2022
you
see
that
3.3
million
there
we're
confident
we'll
make
that
again,
our
divisions
do
a
very
good
job
of
not
spending
a
full
hundred
percent.
So
as
we
get
our
new
numbers
plugged
in
from
our
ending
funding
ending
balance
from
fiscal
year
2020
and
it
moves
through,
that
will
be
up
a
little
bit.
H
This
is
just
a
little
chart
kind
of
showing
when
we
use
reserves,
that's
the
orange
block
when
we
have
a
little
bit
of
extra
like
a
surplus.
Those
are
the
yellow
blocks,
so
most
we're
using
some
other
reserves,
but
2023
we
have
a
little
bit
of
a
surplus
and
again
that's
it's
mostly
a
function
of
our
actual
capital
outlay
plan
that
causes
a
lot
of
that.
H
To
okay
so
strategic
plan,
again
the
city
is
working
to
update
the
strategic
plan.
Last
year
was
a
big
year
and
changing
the
timing
of
when
the
strategic
plan
was
coming.
They
looked
at
the
visions.
The
mission
statements
everything
so
they
kind
of
had
done
almost
a
re-haul
and
now
they're
looking
to
make
sure
to
put
it
into
a
three-year
perspective
versus
just
like
the
one-year
only
to
kind
of
help
drive
how
the
city
is
budgeting.
H
H
A
policy
recommendation
that
the
city
manager
is
discussing
or
has
brought
to
council
is
that
when
there
is
a
net
year-end
surplus
from
extra
revenues
or
unexpected
budget
to
increase
the
percentage
allocated
to
the
minimum
requirement
earlier
than
planned,
or
to
also
set
those
on
those
funds
aside
for
one-time
only
expenditures
and
or
adding
to
capital
outlay
reserves
again,
I
think
he's
mostly
focused
on
the
general
fund
when
he
is
talking
about
that.
But
it
could
certainly
apply
to
utilities
as
well.
H
H
H
Those
are
all
okay,
so
these
are
the
ones
that
are
more
city-wide,
so
they
did
ask
us
to
continue
budgeting
for
the
four
percent
merit
we
will
check
around
with
other
surrounding
areas.
To
make
sure,
however,
we
did
check
with
charlotte
county
charlotte
county
is
recommending
a
four
percent
increase
for
their
general
employees
as
well.
H
H
During
the
pay
plan
review
done
a
couple
years
ago,
it
was
kind
of
looking
like
well
we're
a
little
behind
there,
because
some
have
still
have
the
either
the
frs
or
have
a
general
employee
pension
defined
benefit
pension
plan
and
so
we're
trying
to
see.
Well,
how
can
we
still
be
more
competitive,
so
this
one
was
brought
up
last
year
during
the
budget
process,
but
again
because
of
covid
council
wasn't
decided
not
to
implement
that,
but
there
are
considering
it
now
and
wanted
to
see
it
in
the
plan
as
we
build
our
budget.
H
H
We'll
get
to
that
point
where
we
do
have
to
move.
I
think
there
was
two
pay
grades
that
are
below
that.
So,
if
you're
moving
those
pay
grades
up,
how
is
that
going
to
affect
all
the
rest
of
the
employees
and
the
upper
level
pay
grades
above
those?
So
again,
we
may
do
a
study
and
how
we're
going
to
implement
something
like
that.
That's
going
to
increase
wages
overall
for
the
city.
H
Longevity
awards.
Currently
we
have
a
employee
recognition
program
or
an
employee,
receives
a
plaque
every
five
years
or
a
certificate
they're.
Looking
at
maybe
trying
to
enhance
that
a
little
bit,
so
it
will
be
an
option
that
council
will
discuss
and
talk
about
personnel
policies
and
training.
So
we're
going
to
have
a
comprehensive
review
of
our
personnel
policies.
H
Just
to
make
sure
that
we're
in
line
and
in
target
with
everything
that
needs
to
be
in
our
policies
also,
employee
training
is
a
big
issue
and
we
again
with
covid
a
lot
of
things.
A
lot
of
training
was
canceled
this
past
year,
as
we've
gotten
later
into
the
to
the
time
frame.
They
are
doing
some
more
training,
but
a
lot
of
it's
online
and
not
in
person
yet,
but
so
again,
we're
looking
at
that,
as
well
as
providing
city-wide
courses
for
supervisors
and
staff.
So
hopefully
that
will
help
supplement
some
of
that
training.
H
General
liability
insurance,
as
you
recall
from
earlier,
I
did
say
that
we
had
budgeted
or
in
our
plan,
had
put
a
five
percent
increase
for
general
liability.
Current
indications
are
that
the
increase
will
be
more
than
five
percent.
We
don't
have
an
exact
percentage,
yet
human
resources
is
still
working
with
the
insurance
company
to
see
where
we're
going
to
come
out
on
that
security
measures
for
city
buildings,
and
it
excludes
city
hall.
H
H
H
So
again,
the
rising
costs
continue
for
security,
enhancements
storage
capacity
needs
cloud,
technology,
accessibility,
improvements
and
overall
improvement
of
city
operations,
and
so
we
have
to
balance
all
of
those
needs
with
the
decision
making
process
of
like
what
is
the
highest
priorities
and
stuff
like
that,
so
that
we're
not
having
skyrocketing
costs
all
at
once,
but
still
take
care
of
the
needs
of
the
city
and
of
those
things
and
again
the
security.
One
comes
up
a
lot,
especially
with
the
the
utilities.
H
As
recently
there
was
a
an
item
in
the
news
where
someone
had
hacked
into
a
water
facility
and
tried
to
add
some
chemicals.
We
don't
currently
have
that
issue
as
ours
are
kept
on
a
separate
server
they're,
not
in
the
cloud
at
this
time,
so
it
was
fairly
confident
that
would
not
occur
for
us.
But
again,
it's
always
making
sure
those
security
measures
are
in
place.
H
F
I
just
want
to
make
the
comment.
I
don't
think
you
can
be
too
careful
with
security
on
your
d,
especially
in
utilities
because
of
the
money
involved
I
have
read.
I
can't
remember
where
it
was.
I
wish
I
could
be
more
specific
where
the
utility
was
the
utility
or
the
city
was
extorted
that
they
had
to
make
a
certain
payment
or
they
were
they
had
their
whole
cash
register.
The
billing
system
at
bay-
and
I
just
don't
think
you
can
be
too
careful
with
your
cash
register
at
utilities.
H
And
that
that
part
is
actually
city
wide.
As
far
as
you
know,
our
bank
balances
or
anything
like
that
or
our
system
like
that,
where
they
would
try
and
they
basically
freeze
your
system
up
and
they
want
you
to
pay
a
certain
amount
of
money
to
like
unfreeze
it.
So
there's
a
couple
different
types
of
those:
don't
we
call
them
they're,
not
really
scams,
or
I
mean
what
you
know
or
threats
that
we're
aware
of,
and
we
continuously
do.
It
does
a
lot
of
things
trying
to
prevent
anything
like
that.
H
So
some
of
the
things
is
always
looking
for
emails,
because
a
lot
of
it
comes
through
emails
where
people
click
a
link.
So
rit
department
sends
out
a
lot
of
practice
so
that
you
know
they're
trying
to
catch
people
and
have
them
have
more
training
if
they're
not
following
and
looking
for
those
types
of
things.
H
The
other
thing
is
they
have
they
keep
track
of
like
it's
like
a
filter.
I
guess
right
of
like
where
the
emails
are
coming
from.
If
they're
from
a
foreign
country
it
doesn't
get
through,
it
has
to
be
looked
at,
so
they
have
this
board
and
you
can
see
where
some
of
these
things
are
coming
up
on,
and
so
they
really
do
a
good
job
on
that,
but
they
are
always
looking
for.
H
H
Okay,
so
the
next
parts
are
other
funds
under
utilities
funds
we
talked
about
again.
The
septic
to
sewer
so
county
has
indicated
their
support
of
the
septic
to
sewer
plan
for
the
charlotte
park
in
areas.
One
through
three,
the
vendor
has
been
selected
to
to
come
up,
provide
the
preliminary
design
report
for
the
most
appropriate
system.
So
again
we're
looking
at
that
system
again
of
what
we're
really
going
to
put
out
there.
H
Okay,
once
we
know
that
and
know
which
system
we're
going
to
go
with,
then
we
can
move
on
to
what
are
the
costs
going
to
be,
and
there
then
work
backward
from
there
for
developing
the
assessments
and
going
out
to
the
community
to
talk
about?
What's
their
par
costs,
going
to
be
for
these
and
again
starting
to
look
for
grants
and
loans,
whether
it's
just
srf.
H
We'll
see
what
we
can
do
there
in
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
expansion
again,
the
city
is
working
to
negotiate
the
updated
land
lease
that
expires
in
2025,
because,
again
before
we
put
a
lot
of
new
infrastructure
on
that
that
property
we
want
to
make
sure
our
land
lease
is
current
and
is
approved
and
again
in
the
current
five-year
plan.
The
four
million
dollars
is
in
there
again
that's
for
starting
this
whole
process.
H
There's
a
lot
of
design
a
lot
of
stuff
to
go
in
before
we
actually
start
construction,
but
funding
sources
for
the
project
may
include
the
user
rates,
financing
impact
fees
and
or
grants
the
rate
study
provided
appropriate
rates
that
will
be
reviewed
each
year
based
on
the
actual
expenditures
and
or
delays
and
project
schedules.
So
again,
that's
we've
already
kind
of
talked
about
that
covid
pandemic
measures.
So
during
this
pandemic
there
were
some
measures
put
in
place
to
stop
penalties
for
people
that
were
not
able
to
pay
at
the
time.
H
Shutoffs
were
not
are
not
being
done
and
we
were
paying
credit
card
fees
so,
instead
of
passing
them
along
because
we
were
trying
to
avoid
having
more
people
come
in.
So
we
wanted
to
have
as
many
opportunities
for
customers
to
pay
online
and
not
have
a
reason
that
they
would
not
be
able
to
do
that.
Okay,
so
the
city
manager
is
going
to
be
evaluating
that
again
at
the
end
of
this
month
to
determine
if
any
of
these
things
are
going
back
into
place.
D
H
I
I
B
H
D
I
H
F
You
know
I
just
this
may
sound
crazy,
but
you
know
they're
they're,
driven
by
a
different
drum
fish
and
wildlife.
They
could
be
out
there
and
discover
some
sort
of
special
mouse
or
fish
and
they
go
crazy.
Oh
it
has
to
be
protected
and
you're
going
to
have
to
change
your
operations,
I'm
very
sensitive
about
fish
and
wildlife
and
and
the
drum
that
they
listen
to
it's
not
always
consistent
with
the
way
utilities
want
to
operate
and
plan
and
provide
service
for
the
future.
