and
all
city

Pledge
of
Allegiance.
B
Best

creation--.
You

and
your
kindness
and
your
mercy.
You

us
with
your

which
your
grace
your
kindness
and
your
mercy.
You
nourish
us
with
these
attributes,
which
aspire
to

May
this

all
hear
president

your
guidance
counsel
in
all
matters
coming

A
Thank
you,
John.
We
have
a
couple
of
announcements.
First
off
next
Wednesday
at
9:00
a.m.
we
will
be
having
a
special
meeting
on
July
18th
with
one
item,
which
is
the
RFQ
finalization
for
the
city's
master
plan,
so
that
will
be
next
Wednesday
at
9:00
a.m.
and
then
we
will
reconvene
as
a
City
Council
on
August
22nd.
We
will
be
taking
our
summer
recess
after
the
special
meeting
that
it
that's
correct.
Okay,
thank
you.
C
Good
morning
and
thank
you
all
and
thank
you
City
Council.
We
would
like
to
invite
all
of
you
to
the
dedication.
Next
week,
Tuesday
July
the
17th
at
the
History
Park.
We
will
have
refreshments
afterwards
and
we
would
like
for
you
to
see
our
beautiful
Park
I.
Don't
know
some
of
you.
It's
been
there
since
1997,
but
some
people
say
they
didn't
know.
We
had
a
history
Park
each
one
of
the
houses
in
the
history
Park
played
an
important
role
in
the
founding
of
Punta
Gorda,
and
this
particular
one.
C
A
A
Okay,
seeing
none?
We
have
nothing
under
the
public
hearing
agenda
portion
of
today's
meeting,
so
we
will
move
right
into
the
consent
agenda
and
there
are
one
two
three
four
items
on
the
consent
agenda.
Would
any
council
members
like
to
pull
any
of
those
items?
No,
ok,
so
citizens
comments
on
consent,
agenda
items
only
which
would
be
legal
invoices
and
Genet
resolutions.
Would
anybody
like
to
speak
on
any
one
of
those
four
items?
A
A
Okay,
now
we're
into
the
regular
agenda.
I,
don't
think
this
meetings
gonna
go
this
fast,
the
whole
time,
because
it's
about
to
come
to
a
whole
regular
agenda
items
which
would
be
the
budget
status
update
first
thing
on
the
teeth
as
tax
funds,
the
general
fund
budget
status,
update
continued
discussion
and
the
millage
rate
resolution,
and
then
the
action
registered
quarterly
report
and
we
also
have
the
City
Council
time
of
day
city
council
meetings,
time
of
day
and
date,
change
for
September
19th,
so
any
of
those
items.
A
A
E
Good
morning,
Michaela
is
going
to
take
care
of
the
PowerPoint
slide
for
me,
but
I
will
be
discussing
the
actual
budget,
Kristin
Simeone
for
the
record,
so
we're
gonna
start
with
the
Sanitation
Fund
and
we
put
up
the
five-year
pro
forma
and
again
we
do
conservative
revenues
pretty
much
like
a
1%
growth
throughout
the
years
in
fiscal
year.
2022
and
we
do
have
some
financing
revenue
for
the
purchase
of
the
capital
outlay
that
was
planned.
E
Operating
expenditures
are
increasing,
based
on
the
same
type
of
assumptions
we've
made
in
all
our
other
funds
for
general
fund.
So
some
of
those
items
are
like
3%
merits
health
insurance.
We
did
get
the
new
rates,
so
that's
at
8%
for
the
health
insurance
increase,
the
actuary
report
for
pensions
and
10%
for
workers,
compensation
and
most
other
operating
expenditures
went
up
the
other
stayed
flat
or
went
up
about
3%
and
the
ones
that
are
a
little
above
we'll
go
over
that
in
just
a
moment
for
capital
outlay.
E
Sorry,
there's
also
one
other
item
$150,000
for
the
purchase
of
a
clamshell
loader
truck.
This
is
an
addition
to
our
fleet.
Sanitation
has
requested
a
second
clamshell
loader.
The
the
current
one
is
scheduled
for
replacement
in
fiscal
year
2022,
but
when
it's
out
of
service
there's
a
delay
in
service
to
our
citizens
and
so
they're
asking
for
an
additional
clamshell
loader,
our
current
fee
is
$21.60.
E
E
E
The
scenic
ation
fund
is
balanced,
with
the
recommended,
sixty
cents,
recycling
increase
and
then
going
into
the
landfill
fees
does
have
the
budgeted
increase
of
approximately
100,000
and
that's
due
to
boast.
Both
increased
rates
and
increased
tonnage
from
there's
been
new
development
and
stuff
in
the
city.
So
it's
causing
a
little
increase
there
and
then,
of
course,
we
just
discussed
the
clamshell
loader.
E
This
is
the
five-year
plan
for
sanitation,
an
equipment
program,
and
currently
everything
was
the
same
as
it
presented
previously
last
year,
except
for
the
addition
of
the
clamshell
loader.
There
are
three
Packers
scheduled
for
fiscal
year:
2021
Packer
and
22,
the
replacement
of
their
current
clamshell
loader
in
twenty
two
and
a
flatbed
dump
truck
in
fiscal
year.
2022
sanitation
is
going
to
be
reviewing
their
pecker
replacement
program.
E
They
currently
scheduled
them
had
ten
years
for
replacement
in
the
past
had
been
seven
years
and
during
the
economic
downturn
it
had
been
extended
to
do
the
ten
years.
They
are
finding
that
sometimes
that's
a
little
bit
too
long.
So
they
are
going
to
research
that
and
come
back
with
a
recommendation
it.
You
know
it
could
be
eight
or
nine
years,
depending
on
what
they
find.
Also.
F
A
G
D
Would
like
to
have
our
public
works
director?
Let
us
know
how
we're
doing
on
the
implementation
of
the
new
with
the
new
trucks
and
how
that's
going
because
I'm
getting
feedback
from
residents.
You
know
varying
kinds
of
use
of
the
carts
and
how
we're
doing
getting
people
on
board
with
the
cards
or
getting
our
staff
on
board
with
the
carts
seems
to
be
sometimes
using.
D
F
For
the
record
Ricci
Director
of
Public
Works
in
regards
to
the
last
statement
about
the
employees
we
had
that
report
about
a
month
ago
and
we
met
with
them
and
had
a
talk
with
them,
not
an
excuse,
but
maybe
a
reason.
We
have
a
lot
of
vacations
this
time
of
year.
We
have
some
people
out
on
sick
leave
and
we
have
a
lot
of
temps
at
the
moment
or
may
not
have
got
around
to
the
temps.
It's
been
already
discussed
this
morning.
H
F
Reasons
I
just
gave
here
so
it's
you
know
it's
new
to
the
employees,
it's
new
to
the
residents.
It's
we're
doing
our
best
to
implement
it.
That
way,
but
we've
heard
you
or
we're
talking
to
the
employees
when
we
get
temps,
we
don't
get
the
same
ones
every
day.
It's
a
learning
process
every
day
and
this
time
of
year
is
really
tough
with
the
because
this
is
when
they
they
take
all
their
vacations.
F
So,
like
I,
said
due
to
illnesses
and
vacations,
we're
down
four
to
five
people
right
now,
so
we
have
to
pull
in
the
temps
and
they're
doing
the
best
they
can.
So
that's
not
again
not
an
excuse.
Trying
to
give
you
some
reasons
with
the
inconsistency
with
staffing
we
have
at
the
moment.
Last
council
meeting,
you
heard
the
discussion
on
the
pay
plan
about
the
two
employees
who
left
those
weren't
sanitation.
They
left
for
more
money
to
go
somewhere
else.
F
F
You
know
trained
to
know
what
to
do
every
day,
so
again,
not
an
excuse
or
reason
and
we're
doing
our
best
okay,
but
we
do
have
most
of
the
carts
changed
out.
We
had
delivered
different
cans
to
different
people.
Some
people
didn't
like
it.
We
we
explain
to
the
residents
if
they
didn't
like
the
cans.
We
change
him
out.
So
we're
not
a
hundred
percent
done,
but
we're
we're
working
on
it.
We
got
our
load
in
of
the
the
the
48,
the
96
gallon
like
a
week
or
two
ago,
so
we
had
to
do
this.
F
The
other
rollout
was
by
the
company,
so
our
staff
again
is
putting
the
wheels
on
and
we're
delivering
them
as
we
have
them.
You
know
ready
to
go
out,
so
hopefully
that
will
be
completed
soon
and
then,
when
our
winter
residents
come,
who
did
maybe
get
a
cart
will
be
rolling
them
out
in
in
the
fall
and
winter.
That's.
I
One
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
came
up
is
that
the
amount
of
tonnage
that
were
we're
taking
away
has
increased
I
would
just
be
curious
to
know
what
the
pattern
of
that
is
is
if
it's
even
all
the
way
through
the
year
or
if
it's,
because
more
people
are
staying
in
the
summer.
That
used
to
be
or
is
it
because
we're
having
more
construction
or
just
an
increase
in
population
and.
F
It's
not
scientific,
but
you
can
tell
this
winter.
We
had
a
lot.
It
was
booming.
This
year,
commercial
constantly,
the
commercial
were
calling
up
where
some
businesses
may
get
picked
up
twice
a
week
with
her
dumpster
they're
getting
picked
up
five
days
a
week
or
it
was
just
booming
this
year
and
again,
not
scientific
I,
believe
more
people
are
staying
just
by
the
traffic
and
and
the
cars
on
the
road,
but
I
think
more
people
are
staying.
We
had
122
building
permits
last
year,
so
that's
122,
more
families
and
we're
56
building
permits
this
year.
F
So
so
we've
got
increased
homes
I
until
until
you
get
a
year
of
statistics
on
what
the
new
homes
are.
We
don't
know
if
there's
one
person
in
that
house
or
four,
so
we
can
see
the
percentages
and
the
tonnage
go
up.
We
hope
that
the
landfill
fees
go
down
and
our
recycling
numbers
go
up.
You
know
we
always
hope
that,
but
again
it's
it's
like
a
year
and
the
rears,
because
we
got
to
get
the
data
you
know,
and
then
we
can
compare
it
to
the
yeah.
I
I
guess
this
is
just
relative
to
your
staffing
issue
if
it's
a
case
where
we're
taking
more
tonnage
in
this
summer-
and
we
have
a
staffing
issue
because
people
go
on
vacation
exactly
like
that,
it
may
be
something
for
the
city,
because
your
department,
which
has
several
types
of
jobs
to
maybe
look
at
a
couple
Rovers
to
put
on
staff
permanently
there
could
be
staff
if
you
will
in
training,
for
when
an
opening
comes
up.
It's
just
a
thought.
So.
I
D
One
more
comment:
I
did
have
some
residence
this
week.
Tell
me
how
much
they
really
appreciated
our
our
sanitation
workers
and
that
they're
actually
the
face
of
the
the
city
to
our
community
and
they
really
appreciated
what
they
did.
They
always
have
a
smile
on
their
face.
They're
always
friendly,
so
keep
it
up
we'll.
E
So
we'll
move
on
to
the
building
fund
so
for
the
building
fund
revenues
are
what
we're
doing
here
for
permits
is
keeping
on
permit
revenue
flat,
and
this
is
because
building
permit
revenue
is
very
volatile.
It's
based
on
many
factors
such
as
the
values
of
the
home,
verse,
not
just
the
quantities
of
the
permits
that
are
pulled,
the
type
of
construction,
so
we
never
know
where
the
spikes
are
gonna
be.
So
we
try
to
be
very
conservative
in
our
estimates
operating
expenditures.
Again,
we've
talked
about
the
same
type
of
increases
in
the
assumptions.
E
E
Now,
we'll
move
into
the
additional
five
cent
gas
tax
fund
and
this
fund
is
the
fun
that
does
all
our
paving
program.
Our
revenues
for
proposed
for
fiscal
year
19
consist
of
our
gas
tax
revenues
and
four
hundred
fifty
nine
thousand
for
the
general
fund
ad
valorem
and
our
expenditures
are
always
trying
to
match
our
revenues
there
and
to
fulfill
the
five-year
plan.
E
G
Is
we
continue
to
do
both
paving
and
bricking
yeah?
Is
there
a
reason
why
we're
continuing
with
the
bricking?
We
have
a
lot
of
problems
with
the
braking
on
the
streets.
This
the
roads
keep
sinking.
We've
got
me
if
you
look
at
booth
Street
out
by
the
hospital.
It's
a
mess,
you
can't
barely
drive
on
it.
E
G
F
For
the
record,
Ricky
need
rector
of
Public
Works,
Sullivan
Olympia.
That's
that's
a
d-o-t
project
that
you
see
it's
probably
a
storm
water,
pipe
that
collapse
them
I'm,
pretty
sure
booth
Street.
If
you
go
by
there
today,
it's
all
taken
up
boo
Street
was
probably
done
a
hundred
years
ago,
yeah
I
don't
have
the
exact
date.
F
By
accident,
council
is
going
to
go
back
and
asphalt,
we're
gonna
do
all
the
boost,
Street
and
and
and
save
as
many
of
the
bricks
we
can.
Our
our
new
brick
streets,
in
my
opinion,
have
been
holding
up
exceptionally
well.
The
newer
ones.
Okay,
I'll
bring
you
back
to
1980
when
I
first
started
I.
Remember
we
did
a
brick
Street
project
between
Retta
and
Marion.
Is
it
in
the
best
shape
today?
No,
but
it's
pretty
decent.
It's
some
very
Street.
I
hope
I
mentioned
that,
but
that
was
when
we
were
first
learning.
F
We've
we've
grown
over
the
years
we've
used
better
base.
We've
got
some
beautiful,
brick
streets.
Now
we
didn't
do
a
brick
street
this
budget
year
and
we're
probably
not
going
to
get
it
in,
but
that's
because
all
our
efforts
of
Public
Works
we're
trying
to
recover
from
irma.
So
we
are
hoping
to
do
one
next
year
and
goldstine
right
out
here.
It's
in
really
bad
shape.
That's
an
asphalt
street
back
in
the
80s.
The
city
did
a
sewer,
rehab
project.
We
got
federal
funds
and
a
lot
at
that
time.
F
A
lot
of
our
brick
streets
were
lost
due
to,
instead
of
putting
the
bricks
back,
we
paved
them.
So
was
it
was
the
plan
long
plan
try
to
do
a
brick
street
a
year
and
try
to
redo
the
bad
brick
streets
and
to
recover
the
brick
streets
that
we
lost,
that
the
80s
due
to
the
sewer
rehab
project
and
paving
again
that
was
a
council
action
and
past
you
know,
but
that's
that's
our
plan.
We
try
to
do
one
a
year
and
they
hold
up
very
well
that
without
the
way
we're
doing
them
now.
What.
F
I
have
those
numbers,
but
not
with
me
and
there's
no
doubt
bricking
is
more
expensive.
However,
it's
going
to
last
you
a
hundred
years
as
opposed
to
fifteen
to
twenty
years,
because
well,
the
way
we
do
a
brick
street.
Now
we
we
actually
are
paving
underneath
that
we
sometimes
we
put
in
new
curbs
you're,
seeing
a
lot
of
the
curbs
are
in
bad
shape
regardless,
if
that
was
asphalt
or
brick,
we
have
to
address
the
curbs,
so
you
can't
count
I
mean
you
can't
count
that
we're
still
going
to
use
shell.
F
You
got
to
use
shell
if
you're,
putting
in
a
asphalt
road
or
a
brick,
brick
street,
but
we
actually
pave.
We
measure
the
thickness
of
the
brick
and
we
actually
pave
it.
So
so
all
the
costs
are
equal
up
to
then
what's
the
difference
is
the
brick.
If
we're
running
out
of
brick,
we
we
used
to
be
able
to
have
the
brick
for
free
because
we
recovered
it.
F
We're
now
having
to
buy
brick
so
I
think
the
last
load
of
brick
and
I
and
again
I
can
confirm
these
numbers,
but
it
may
have
been
in
the
neighborhood
of
50,000
and
I
may
be
off
soap,
I
apologize
if
I
am
but
I
can
get
your
real
number
and
then
we
get
the
volunteers
a
lot
of
times.
We
get
the
prisoners,
they
come
in
help
sometimes
a
city
staff,
but
we
try
to
get
half
of
the
brick
street
laid,
and
then
we
have
a
Saturday.
We
bring
in
the
community,
it's
a
great
event.
F
They
get
to
lay
half
the
street,
you
know
and
finish
it
up
and
they're,
proud
of
their
community
and
it's
a
great
day.
So
so
yes,
it
is
more
expensive,
but
once
if
you
do
it
right
with
that
new
base,
where
you
I
it'll
be
a
hundred
years,
I
guarantee
as
long
as
utilities
and
everything
hold
up
it'll
be
a
long
long
time
and
he's
not
touching
it
again
and
it's
it's
our
downtown
talent,
historic
districts,
so
I'm.
A
J
Think
the
brick
streets
are
extremely
important
to
the
historic
nature,
the
aesthetics
of
the
city
and,
to
be
honest,
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
brick.
Streets
I
mean
it
was
promised
like
15
years
ago
that
both
sides
of
historic
district
should
have
them
so
I.
Actually,
especially
if
you're
looking
at
the
long
term,
it
actually
being
one
cost
and
be
able
to
last
and
I
think
it's
not
only
fiscally
responsible
I
think
is
aesthetically
responsible
that
we
continue
breaking.
I
Say
this
is
the
same
general
thing
you
you
have
PGI
and
BSI,
and
our
attraction
there
is
our
canals
and
a
house
in
the
historic
district
part
of
that
ambience
is,
is
the
brick
streets,
which
is
why
this
little
town
of
ours
has
so
much
charm.
It's
not
just
canals
that
attract
people
here,
but
it's
also
the
historic
district
that
attracts
here
and
I
think
we
need
to
maintain
that
character
within
the
city
and
if
it's
prudent
in
the
long
term,
then
we
should
and.
A
D
D
K
E
If
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
line,
so
in
this
fund,
the
division
has
asked
to
increase
the
sidewalk
replacements
25,000
per
year
again,
just
to
help
with
sidewalks
that
are
disrepair,
also,
there's
an
increase
in
right-of-way
cleaning
and
traffic
signal
and
light
repairs
due
to
the
jones
loop.
So
that
was
part
of
the
interlocal
agreement
as
well,
and
then
fiscal
year,
19
through
23,
are
balanced
with
the
use
of
reserves.
G
A
E
E
Since
the
last
council
meeting,
certain
items
have
been
added
to
the
pro
forma
to
the
budget
for
the
increased
revenue
from
the
7-1
estimate
of
taxable
value.
Certain
expenditures
have
been
added,
such
as
the
CRA
transfer,
which
is
also
related
to
the
taxable
value
effect,
the
actuary
calculation
for
the
new
open
requirement,
health
insurance
increase,
because
originally
our
assumption
was
six
and
it
came
in
at
eight
percent
and
the
pain
classification
study
that
was
included,
or
that
was
approved
last
time,
which
excludes
the
public
safety
unions
and
command
staff.
E
E
E
Unfunded
items
that
are
not
in
the
proposed
budget
at
this
time
are
building
security
systems,
the
public
safety
bargaining
and
command
staff,
pay
plan,
citywide
master
plan,
IT
unfunded
projects,
City
Hall,
Annex,
renovations
and
again
the
position
requests
from
the
divisions.
Are
there
any
questions
on
any
of
these
items?.
J
G
E
I
I
J
E
And
something
looking
ahead:
we've
always
provided
you
a
look
ahead
at
least
one
year.
So
again
we
use
conservative
revenue
increases
the
same
type
of
expenditure
increases
so
with
those
new
the
positions
that
have
been
pulled
out.
The
gap
is
now
five
hundred
twelve
thousand
to
two
hundred
seventy
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
so
already
for
fiscal
year
2020,
we
are
short
funding
so.
E
E
So,
on
other
unfunded
unresolved
items
for
future
years
again
is
the
use
of
reserves
to
assist
in
balancing
fiscal
year
2020,
which
was
reduced
from
seven
thirteen
I'm
from
seven
three
I'm.
Sorry
because
of
the
positions
and
again
staff
has
recommended
in
the
past
and
has
been
approved
by
council
to
set
aside
some
of
those
available
reserves
to
balance
the
next
year.
So
we
would
ask
that
again,
there's
also
three
patrol
vehicles
for
the
new
school
resource
officers.
The
funding
was
still
to
be
determined
and
again
we'll
try
and
use
1%
sales
tax
funding.
E
If
available,
pending
legislation
for
increased
homestead
exemption
for
fiscal
year
2020,
that's
the
amendment,
one
that
will
be
going
on
the
ballot
for
November
2018
would
cause
reduced
ad
valorem
revenue
to
the
general
fund.
We
had
gotten
some
numbers
from
our
property
appraiser
and
we're
doing
some
calculations.
The
current
estimate
of
that
decrease
of
revenue
is
I'm
only
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
So
we
just
got
that
information.
Yesterday,
there's
two
patrol
vehicles
for
the
PD
Community,
Engagement,
Unit
and
again,
that's
not
needed
at
this
time.
A
E
A
G
G
K
A
And
what
I
discussed
with
Kristen
and
our
briefing
is
as
far
as
the
master
plan,
the
security
upgrades,
the
one-time,
expensive
and
she
does
not
did
not
want
to
call
him
loans,
but
you
know
that
that
that
would
be
paid
back
use
Jen.
Obviously
we're
going
to
be
using
general
funds
if
the
money
doesn't
come
available
to
fund
the
master
plan
and
the
security
needs
to
be
done.
We
all
we
all
realize
that
it's
probably
you
know,
needs
to
be
done.
A
E
A
I
Just
like
to
point
out
that
some
of
the
security
expenditures
that
we
probably
need
to
do
are
also
related
to
some
refurbishment
expenditures
that
we
also
need
to
do
in
City
Hall.
One
in
particular,
is
a
window.
That's
back
there
down
that
hallway
by
the
safe
there's
a
zonie
about
three
two
feet
to
get
from
there
from
a
little
ledge
to
get
through
that
window.
That
windows
in
very
bad
shape,
but
somebody
were
to
really
want
to
break
in
it.
Basically,
you
could
just
push
the
window
in
and
you
can
come
in
at
that
point.
D
That
brings
up
a
whole
different
subject
of
actually
a
complete
analysis
of
the
historic
City
Hall.
It
is
on
the
Historic
Registry
and
based
on
you
know,
a
tour
that
I
had
with
Karen.
There
are
a
lot
of
deficiencies
in
the
building
and
perhaps
it
hasn't
been
maintained
adequately
over
the
years
and
I
think
we
need
to
know
what
it's
going
to
cost,
to
bring
the
bringing
the
building
up
to
standard
and
what
we
can.
D
How
can
we
do
that
and
maintain
Historic
Registry
designation
and
that's
not
going
to
be
inexpensive,
but
I
think
it's
necessary,
so
it
may
be
a
local
option.
Sales,
tax
project
down
the
road
or
something
but
I
think
you
know,
given
what
I
saw
I
think
for
that
for
our
community,
our
historic
nature,
the
community
is
really
important
and
that's
preserving
the
store
nature
of
the
community.
So
do.
A
L
Michaela
Finkel
paralegal,
executive
assistant
I
was
going
to
touch
on
that
when
we'd
go
in
the
action
plan.
Okay,
so
this
whole
project
came
out
of
a
refresh
kind
of
to
go
with
our
branding
we
went
out
for
quotes.
Luckily
we
were
able
to
piggyback
flooring,
paint
just
kind
of
a
refresh
well
doing
that
process.
L
The
numbers
came
back
quite
high
and
we
really
realized
that
there
are
in
the
city
hall
building.
It
needs
more
than
just
a
cosmetic
update.
We
have
some
water
damage.
Like
advice
to
me,
I
mentioned,
though
the
windows
need
to
be
done.
Those
windows
are
old.
They
have
we
call
insulators
when
those
come
off.
They
can't
go
back
on
so
that
it
just
things
just
kept,
adding
up
so
staffs
plan
instead
of
coming
back
to
council,
with
a
face
to
refresh
for
just
carpet
and
flooring
to
make
things
look
pretty.
L
We
decided
that
we
would
possibly
come
back
and
ask
for
appropriation
to
finish
the
flooring
in
this
room
in
the
mayor's
room,
because
all
the
other
improvements
were
done
and
then
actually
get
an
independent
professional
inspection
of
the
entire
building
figure
out
to
restore
it.
What
needs
to
be
done,
what
that's
going
to
cost
and
then,
like
you
said,
come
up
with
an
actual
plan
to
do
that,
we're
gonna
forego
anything
on
the
annex,
cuz.
That
was
basically
just
to
make
things
match.
So
I
think
we
all
agree
that
there's
more.
A
H
A
L
Yeah,
what
you
doing
with
procurement,
to
figure
out
what
type
of
professional
we
need
to
come
in
and
how
to
go
about
that
one
other
thing
they
mentioned
we're
still
working
on,
and
it's
in
the
plan
for
the
ABA,
the
the
bathrooms
out
here,
the
water
fountain
that
stuff's
not
a
be
accessible
that
wasn't
part
of
the
Refresh
budget,
but
they
go
hand-in-hand
so
staffs
working
on
those
issues
to
any
ABA
in
the
building.
Yes,
I.
I
I
For
two
reasons,
one
is
I
think
we
should
find
out
what
we
need
to
do
with
the
main
city
hall
in
particular,
and
two
is
so
that
when
our
citizens-
and
we
do
come
in,
it's
a
reminder
that
we
have
other
projects
that
we
have
to
do.
This
shouldn't
be
our
priority
at
this
point,
this
optic
I
think
this
optic
can
kind
of
keep
our
help.
Us
keep
our
focus
on
other
parts
of
the
building
personally
I'm,
just
throwing
it
out
I
would.
H
I
G
I
I
L
I
H
K
H
D
D
A
And
I
definitely
think
we
need
the
professional
opinion,
because
just
talking
about
the
windows
you
know,
are
they
replaceable?
Do
you
have
you
know
what
what
are
you
allowed
to
replace
them
with
the
the
you
know,
historic
nature?
You
know
that
type
of
thing.
We
really
need
some
professional
advice
on
that.
We.
H
E
G
L
G
D
D
E
D
Think
no
choice
I
mean
well
I.
Don't
know
that
I'm
every
year
that
I've
been
on
council
we've
always
started
every
year
with
a
gap,
and
we've
always
worked
to
narrow
that
gap.
So
I
don't
feel
having
us
put
that
aside,
I'm
not
comfortable
putting
it
aside,
because
I
know
the
process
we've
gone
through
in.
E
E
E
In
the
last
fiscal
year,
I
think
was
about
six
hundred
and
seventy
one
thousand.
So
we
worked
to
get
that
down
we're
at
the
floor.
You
know
now,
but
we
have
asked
for
consensus
before
first
for
quite
a
few
years
now
to
set
that
money
aside.
Knowing
there
is
that
gap
and
knowing
it
could
at
this
point,
grow
even
more,
but.
H
A
Mean
in
my
opinion,
we
really
at
this
point.
We
we
see
the
other
things
coming
at
us.
We
don't
really
have
a
choice
other
than
to
say
that's
just
gonna,
be
the
extra
reserve
that
we
need
for
next
year
and
we're
going
to
2020
we'll
be
at
eight
and
a
half
percent.
Is
that
already
factored
in
there?
No
okay,
oh
I'm,.
A
E
And
the
reason
we've
asked
before,
especially
as
we've
had
available
reserves
over
our
minimum
is
again.
There
are
many
projects
going
on
within
the
city
and
if
you
just
look
at
that
number,
a
grand
total
and
don't
think
ahead
about
the
funds
that
we're
gonna
possibly
need
I,
guess
it's
just
to
preserve
those
funds
for
the
possible
need
of
meeting
them
in
the
next
year.
I
H
I
Agree
with
Nancy
thanking
her
to
bring
up
the
subject,
but
we
tried
to
be
our
responsibility,
is
to
the
community
as
a
whole
and
we
sometimes
may
have
to
make
and
should
make
appropriate
decisions
as
a
body
that
may
not
be
paddleball
to
large
portions
of
our
constituency.
But
it's
what's
prudent
for
the
community
as
a
whole,
and
particularly
when
it
comes
to
the
funding
and
stuff
of
the
future.
Is
that
just
my
general
philosophy.
E
D
A
It
away
well
what
they,
the
county,
does
that
I
believe
they
have
about
a
twenty
five
twenty
some
percent
and
they
don't
they
don't
discuss
it.
It's
just
the
reserve.
I
mean
we
don't
have
those
policies
we
could,
but
we
don't.
So
that's
how
we've
been
balancing
the
budget.
The
whole
time
I've
been
right.
