A
Board
of
commissioners
finance
committee
to
order,
please
call
the
roll.
A
A
A
Commissioner
long
supported
by
commissioner
moss,
do
we
need
to
vote
on
that?
Okay,
let's
is
the
voice
vote?
Okay,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
a
okay
agenda
is
modified
as
discussed
next
up.
We
have
public
comment.
This
is
three
minutes
for
anyone
who
wishes
to
address
anything
on
today's
agenda.
D
D
I'm
wondering
why
we're
still
having
to
look
at
funding
almost
six
months
after
the
incident
it
seems
like
this
should
have
been
all
taken
care
of
within
about
the
first
three
months
of
the
incident,
and
it
seems
like
it's
not
a
very
timely
attention
being
paid
to
to
these
items
and
that's
what
I
I
would
like
to
see
it
go
a
little
faster
to
make
sure
they
get
what
they
need
in
a
more
timely
fashion,
rather
than
dragging
it
out
over
five
months.
A
A
Okay,
we
have
accepted
all
our
communications.
Next
up,
we
have
two
presentations,
starting
with
item
8a,
our
audit
presentation.
I
need
a
motion
commissioner,
charles
supported
by
commissioner
kowal
and
I
believe
it's
plant
and
moran
or
who's
making.
The
presentation
please
join
us
at
the
end
of
the
table,
make
sure
you're
using
a
and
microphone
your
name
and
who
you're
with.
E
E
Before
I
get
into
the
deliverables,
I
would
like
to
thank
kyle
lynn
and
cheryl
and
really
their
whole
team
for
their
help.
During
the
audit.
E
As
many
of
you
may
know,
the
audit
process,
it
really
starts
back
in
september
october
and
goes
right
up
until
the
end
of
march
for
the
financial
statement,
audit
and
right
now
we're
actually
entering
the
single
audit
period,
which
is
the
out
of
the
county's
federal
award.
So
it's
really
a
september
and
the
single
out
is
due
june
30..
So
it's
really
a
september
through
june
process.
So
it
it's
a
long
process.
E
It
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
and
resources,
and
we
certainly
appreciate
their
effort
and-
and
I
would
venture
to
guess
that
this
year
was
probably
one
of
the
more
difficult
audits
that
they've
had
to
go
through
because
of
some
of
the
recent
retirements
in
the
department.
So
we
were
having
some
constrained
resources
we
had
some
new
faces
come
in
that
that
don't
have
the
same
experience
with
the
county.
E
Certainly
the
workday
implementation,
going
on
all
of
the
federal
funding
that
the
team
is
dealing
with
in
administering
so
there's
just
a
lot
going
on
and
to
add
an
audit.
On
top
of
that
is
a
lot
of
work,
so
I
wasn't
going
to
go
into
the
actual
financial
statements.
I
was
going
to
focus
more
on
the
the
two
letters
that
were
issued
as
part
of
the
audit
and
I
believe
they'll
start
on
page
179
of
the
packet.
E
So
the
first
letter
here
and
there's
actually
two
letters,
but
I
think
they're
combined
into
one
for
for
what
you're
seeing
so
the
first
letter
here
is
what
I'll
refer
to
as
our
end
of
audit
letter.
So
if
you
recall
back
in
the
fall,
you
would
have
received
a
pre-audit
letter
that
detailed
out
the
scope
and
timing
of
the
audit
and
would
have
solicited
feedback
from
you.
If
you
had
any
questions
concerns
this
is
really
to
complete
the
circle
to
now.
E
E
E
This
is
because
there
are
estimates
determined
by
management
within
the
financial
statements,
and
so
these
are
things
that
we
can't
necessarily
agree
to
a
known
figure
from
an
invoice
or
a
receipt,
and
so
the
the
ones
that
we've
identified
here
would
be
the
accounts,
receivable
related
to
unbilled
water
and
sewer,
and
then
various
liabilities
for
workers,
compensation,
general
claims,
health
care
costs,
property,
tax
refunds
and
then
pension
and
retirement
health
care
so
to
become
comfortable
that
these
estimates
are
reasonable.
We
look
at
historical
info.
We
look
at
actuary
reports.
E
So
if
we
move
to
the
next
page
two
headings
here,
one
difficulty
is
encountered
in
performing
the
audit.
We
encountered
no
difficulties
in
performing
the
audit
or
dealing
with
management
and
then
down
a
couple
of
sections.
There's
a
heading
corrected
and
uncorrected
misstatements.
E
We
did
have
two
misstatements
that
were
identified
during
the
audit.
The
first
one
was
an
adjustment
of
14.8
million
dollars
to
increase
property
tax
revenue
and
decrease
unavailable
revenue,
and
this
is
as
a
result
of
actual
property
tax
collections
received
within
60
days
after
your
end,
so
anything
collected
within
60
days.
After
your
end,
the
county
should
actually
recognize
as
revenue
in
2021.
E
E
So
if
you
on
the
top
the
heading
a
schedule
of
findings
and
responses
is
where
I'll
start
so,
the
first
finding
that
we
have
here
relates
to
year-end
journal
entries
that
were
identified
during
the
audit
and
and
posted
by
the
county
and
included
in
the
financial
statements.
But
when
it
comes
to
any
type
of
audit
adjustment,
the
bar
is
pretty
low,
where,
if
we
find
anything
it,
it
will
be
considered
a
material
weakness,
and
so
this
year
we
did
have
two
adjustments.
E
So
the
recommendation
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
is
just
continuing
to
work
with
the
applicable
departments
to
make
sure
that,
at
your
end,
the
procedures
the
controls
are
in
place
to
identify
all
year
end
adjustments
before
the
audit
starts
and
then
the
next
page
there
is
the
the
views
of
responsible
officials
that
I
would
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
if
you
haven't.
I
won't
cover
that
here
today.
E
Then,
if
we
go
to
the
next
page,
we
have
finding
number
two,
and
this
is
deemed
to
be
a
significant
deficiency,
and
this
this
relates
to
the
general
ledger
and
the
under
underlying
accounting
records
not
reconciled
and
closed
in
a
timely
manner
after
year-end,
and
this.
This
really
relates
to
those
things
that
I
started
with,
with
the
capacity
constraints
new
people
brought
in
to
some
of
the
key
positions
that
would
handle
the
accounting
records
workday
the
fund
federal
funding.
So
we
were
ultimately
able
to
receive
everything.
E
So
in
this
this
would
be
a
finding
that
I
believe,
will
self-correct
as
the
county
hires
its
way
out
of
this
for
some
of
those
key
positions,
as
some
of
the
newer
faces
this
year
now
have
a
full
year
of
experience
in
the
department
work
day
I
know,
is
going
live
next
week.
So
again,
I
think
from
a
resource
standpoint.
I
think
this
should
take
care
of
itself
next
year.
F
I
know
you've
done
a
number
of
audits
for
the
county.
I
wouldn't
say
that
this
is
a
scathing,
but
I
will
say
it
is
troubling
and
if
it
is
a
a
function
of
what
amounts
to
staff
turnover
which
one
would
expect
in
you
know
with
the
turnover
of
administrations,
it's
understandable,
but
I
would
I
would
find
this
as
I
don't.
Red
flag
is
quite
serious
enough,
but
it
is
it
is.
F
You
know
it
ought
to
be
troubling
that
we
we
gotta
double
check
that
we're
moving
to
put
things
back
on
track,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
know
always
good
having
you
on
it
and
it's
where
you
find
this
stuff
so
that
you
can
remedy
it.
But
clearly
this
should
be.
This
should
be
a
a
warning.
G
Just
so,
I
understand,
sir,
the
the
one
of
the
two
one
of
the
issues
was.
The
findings
was
the
actual
collection
of
property.
Tax
revenue
was
14.8
million
dollars
higher
in
fiscal
year
2021
that
was
recorded
as
a
2022
activity,
you're
saying
when
for
60
days
it
needs
to
be
a
2021..
Is
it.
E
I
believe
what
happens
is
that
an
estimate
is
recorded
at
your
end,
based
on
historical
collections
through
60
days,
we
have
the
benefit
of
coming
in
after
60
days
has
passed
and
we
can
look
at
the
actual
amount
that's
been
collected,
and
I
know
going
forward
talking
with
lynn
and
cheryl.
What
they'll
do
is
just
wait
to
post
that
actual
number
until
that
60
days
has
passed,
so
we
have
the
actual
book
and
not
an
estimate.
Okay,.
A
You,
okay,
fiscal
services.
Do
you
have
anything
you
want
to
add
to
this.
A
Okay,
commissioner,
charles
you
had
something
yeah.
C
C
A
Okay
well-
and
I
I
believe
our
fiscal
people
heard
that
and
and
we'll
keep
an
eye
on
it
and
let
us
know
if
they're
still
continuing
to
have
problems
with
staffing
that
get
in
the
way
of
getting
the
job
done,
so
I'm
going
to
leave
it
in
their
lap
for
now.
I
A
J
J
At
the
end
of
march,
within
the
statutory
deadline
set
by
the
state
of
michigan,
I
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
few
things
you
know
to
to
kind
of
echo.
Mr
saint
andrew.
You
know
this
was
a,
I
think,
a
very
intense
year.
You
know
between
staff
turnover,
the
workday
implementation
and
the
federal
funds.
So
you
know
I
want
to
thank
lynn
and
cheryl
and
their
teams
for
for
for
all
the
extra
hours
and
efforts
that
they
put
in.
J
We
are
certainly
very
cognizant
of
those
two
findings
and
will
ensure
that
those
are
corrected
going
forward.
I'd
also
like
to,
I
don't
think
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
introduce
cheryl
to
the
full
committee.
I
think
I've
made
some
individual
introductions,
but
cheryl
johnson's
been
with
the
been
on
board
with
the
county
since
last
fall
starting
off
in
one
of
our
chief
positions
in
fiscal
services.
She
is
going
to
be
as
of
july,
2nd,
I
think
to
taking
over
for
lynn
as
the
county's
fiscal
services
officer.
J
Cheryl
brings
a
long
track
record
in
local
finance,
having
worked
in
ferndale
and
pontiac
among
other
places,
and
actually
with
plant
moran
before
that,
working
on
on
audit
issues,
she's
very
active
with
the
michigan
government
finance
officers
association.
So
we
know
that
no
one
can
fully
replace
lynn
sanchez,
but
cheryl
is
fully
capable
to
to
move
things
forward
and
continue
to
build
on
the
strong
foundation
that
lynn
leaves
behind.
J
So
I
did
want
to
make
that
formal
introduction
and
then
I
would
also
take
just
a
a
a
point
of
not
privilege
because
I'm
not
a
member
of
this
committee,
but
I
did
want
to
flag
that
the
two
rating
agencies
did
issue
their
updated
credit
opinions
last
year
for
the
county.
You
know,
and
both
of
them
reaffirmed
our
aaa
bond
rating.
So
we're
pleased
with
that.
J
You
know
they
were
both
extremely
positive
in
terms
of
the
county's
financial
positions
and
highlighted
some
of
the
continued
continued
improvements
we've
made
in
our
budget
practices.
You
know
so
so
I'd
like
to
thank
this
committee
for
their
partnership.
J
B
Good
afternoon
so,
with
the
2021
fiscal
year
closing
you
may
recall
in
december,
at
your
december
finance
committee
meeting,
we
presented
the
year-end
year-end
resolution
report,
we're
still
actively
working
through
year-end
closing
through
the
end
of
march.
However,
we
provided
you
the
snapshot
in
time
at
that
point
of
what
the
status
was
for
the
county
financials
as
it
relates
to
the
general
fund
and
a
lot
of
the
proprietary
internal
service
funds.
B
B
That
was
that
prompted
us
to
reopen
the
books
and
post
that
entry
we
did
come
have
a
reasonable
estimate
at
the
time
to
book
that
before
we
close
the
books
in
early
november
in
order
to
present
the
year
on
resolution
to
you,
but
we
will
always
in
the
future
look
to
that
act
or
that
november
30th
actual
collections.
There
was
a
little
bit
of
a
lag
on
the
recording
or
receding
of
some
of
those
property
tax
revenue
collections
for
the
60-day
period,
post-9
30.
B
B
So
that
was
the
significant
item
for
the
general
fund
and
the
other
item
was
the
roughly
eight
million
dollars
that
were
related
to
the
southeast
oakland
county
sewage
disposal
system,
a
proprietary
fund
that
has
a
couple
of
different
funds
that
roll
up
together
for
reporting
purposes,
and
it
was
I'll,
say,
a
long,
a
longer
term
liability
adjustment
where
that
was
recorded
twice.
So
in
both
cases
the
county
wasn't
over,
stating
its
financial
position
with
the
urine
report.
This
is
actually
an
improved
position
for
2021
over
what
we
presented
to
you
in
december.
B
You
should
have
received
an
electronic
copy
of
the
letter
indicating
that
the
the
offer
is
available
online.
We
do
have
several
hard
copies
here
with
us
if
anyone
would
like
to
have
an
official
hard
copy
of
the
document-
and
we
have
some
more
back
at
the
office
that
we
can
send.
If
there's
more
than
a
couple
of
you
that
would
like
to
to
have
a
copy
of
that.
C
B
B
B
Prepare
a
what's
referred
to
as
the
popular
annual
financial
report
kind
of
highlighting
the
financial
highlights
and
that
will
be
presented
or
submitted
to
and
posted
online
and
submitted
to
gfoa
in
at
the
end
of
may.
So
we'll
make
sure
that
the
commissioners
get
a
copy
of
that.
What's
referred
to
as
the
popular
annual
financial
report
at
that
time,
and
if
there's
any
questions,
we'd
be
happy
to
entertain
those.
A
B
C
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right.
Next
up
we
have.
Where
are
we
here?
Item
nine
a
the
I.t
development
report?
Second
quarter
2022.
K
So
today
is
my
quarterly
presentation:
the
resolution
effectively
transfers
allocated
funds
from
the
general
fund
into
departments
so
that
it
can
essentially
be
paid.
If
you
will
for
development
and
support.
As
you
know,
we
track
we
track
effort.
We
track
time
for
all
of
the
work
that
is
done
in
I.t.
K
K
J
Good
morning
again,
I'd
like
to
make
one
more
introduction,
while
we're
at
it
kim
coy,
has
has
come
on
board
with
the
county
she'll
be
moving
into
the
position
that
howie
can
40
is
in
right
now,
as
holly
departs
at
the
same
time
as
as
lynn
kim
comes
to
us
from
working
on
the
budget
in
washtenaw
county,
so
she'll
bring
us
another
county
perspective.
We
know
oakland
county,
you
know
is
the
leader
in.
D
J
Practices
but
there's
always
room
to
improve
and
and
bring
in
new
perspectives,
so
she'll
sort
of
be
my
right
hand
on
some
of
the
budget,
things
that
will
that
will
come
before
the
committee
so
wanted
to
make
that
formal
introduction
as
well.
So
before
you,
you
have
two
resolutions
to
approve
the
property
tax
levies,
the
two,
the
two
county-wide
property
tax
levies
we
have
each
year,
so
the
first
levy
in
front
of
you
is
the
parks
and
rec
levy.
J
As
you
recall,
this.
This
levy
was
approved
by
the
voters
in
november
2020
at
0.35
mills
last
year,
under
the
under
the
provisions
of
the
headley
amendment
that
was
rolled
back
to
0.3431
mills
and
then
based
on
the
final
taxable
value
data
that
you
heard
about
at
the
last
meeting
for
the
current
year
and
the
final
inflation
number
for
last
year.
That
number
will
be
will
be
rolled
back
further.
J
Actually,
I
said
the
wrong
number,
so
it
was
rolled
back
last
year
from
0.35
to
0.347.
This
will
roll
it
back
to
0.343.
J
That
is
estimated
to
bring
in
23.9
million
dollars
for
the
parks
and
recreation,
commission
and
department.
This
is,
you
know
the
bizarre
mechanics
of
headley.
The
tax
rates
going
down
the
revenue
will
actually
be
a
little
higher
than
what
was
estimated
last
year.
I
don't
have
an
exact
number,
but
it's
it's
a
few
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
the
parks
side
and
with
that
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
G
This
is
less
about
the
parks
millage
itself,
but
how
low
will
this
millage
rate
go
before?
Is
there
is
there
a
cap,
or
I
mean
I
know,
there's
a
formula
based
on.
J
There
is
no,
there
is
no
floor
under
the
headly
amendment
mechanic,
so
you
know
how
quickly
the
rate
comes
down
will
depend
on
the
level
of
inflation
and
taxable
value
growth
going
forward.
You
know
certainly
you've
seen
what
the
with
the
county-wide
operations
millage.
J
You
know
that
rate
has
come
down
from
below
about
five
when
it
was
originally
approved
in
the
late
70s,
and
now
we're
we're
dipping
down
below
four.
So.
G
A
Thanks,
thank
you,
commissioner.
Moss.
F
Yeah,
just
to
just
reiterate
that
headley
was
its
purpose
was
to
deal
with
inflationary
times.
It
came
out
in
17.
Was
it
78
and
passed,
and
so
this
is.
This
is
the
this
is
what
it
is
here
to
deal
with,
so
that
inflation
doesn't
eat
up.
You
know,
everybody's,
you
know,
taxes,
tax
money,
so
just
as
long
as
the
we're
copacetic
with
this
intricate
arcana
of
the
cat
of
the
headly
amendment
and
we're
legal
with
it.
That's
good.
A
Well-
and
I
I
would
just
like
to
comment-
you
know:
we've
we
have
folks
sometimes
who
come
to
our
meetings
and
say
you're,
raising
our
taxes,
we're
not
raising
people's
taxes.
You
know,
and
in
fact,
by
way
of
the
headley,
the
tax
rate
is
dropping
every
year
as
long
as
we're
in
this
kind
of
position.
A
A
M
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
because,
as
you
know,
on
our
meetings,
we
keep
saying
every
everyone
keeps
saying
we're
raising
all
the
taxes
and
stuff,
but
I
just
want
to
further
comment
on
what
chairman
markham
said
is
in
20
years
that
I've
been
here
the
taxes
and
commissioner
colwall
was
here
20
years
ago
too.
It
is
actually
lower
now
than
it
was
20
years
ago,
so
it's
actually
lower.
You
know,
because
I
had
lean
stuff,
but
it's
lower
than
when
I
started
here
as
a
commissioner
20
years
ago.
A
C
F
Was
rolled
over
basically
so
it
was.
This
is
not
a
brand
new
correct,
a
brand
new
tax.
It
was
re-upped
after
it
expired.
The
last
time,
correction.
J
And
just
as
a
reminder,
the
the
parks
millage
is
levied
in
the
on
on
the
winter
tax
bill.
So
we're
we're
approving
this
now
for
that
tax
levy
to
occur
later
in
the
year,
whereas
the
operating
millage
is
is
levied
in
july.
So.
A
C
A
J
When,
when
you
approved
the
budget
last
year,
we
had
estimated
that
for
this
year
the
rate
would
be
3.9880,
as
we
now
have
the
final
taxable
value
and
inflation
data.
It's
actually
going
to
be
slightly
below
that
3.9686,
so
same
story,
the
tax
rate
is
coming
down,
although
estimated
revenues
for
2022
will
actually
be
about
four
million
dollars
higher
than
what
had
been
estimated
in
the
budget.
J
This
levy
is
estimated
to
bring
in
it's
not
in
the
it's,
not
in
the
resolution,
but
but
in
the
neighborhood
of
270
million.
Oh
yeah,.
A
A
Anybody
have
any
questions
on
the
main
tax
levy
for
the
county.
Commissioner
cabell.
G
So
the
it
says,
the
rate,
let
me
use
the
right
words.
G
J
So
so
correct
the
you
know.
So,
on
top
of
headley,
we
have
proposal
a
which
caps
the
amount
at
an
individual
homeowner
level.
You
know
unless
there's
a
transfer
of
property,
the
taxable
value
can
only
grow
by
the
rate
of
inflation.
For
this
year,
that's
3.3
percent.
The
6.46
does
account
for
that
which
is
which
is
kind
of
hard
to
believe,
but
the
6.4
the
gap
between
the
3.3
and
the
6.46
as
a
function
of
two
things,
one.
We
had
an
extremely
high
level
of
of
new
construction
last
year.
J
You
know
which
isn't
capped
and
two
you
know
with
the
with
the
strong
housing
market
and
how
much
prices
went
up
on
sales.
You
know
that
creates
growth
and
taxable
value
that
that's
that's
uncapped,
so.
A
O
Good
afternoon
so
before
you
have
the
grant
application
with
the
michigan
department
of
community
corrections
for
the
community
corrections
comprehensive
plan
for
fiscal
year
23,
the
amount
requested
in
the
application
is
two
million
twenty
two
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
three
dollars
for
the
fy23
fiscal
year,
and
that
would
fund
13,
full-time
positions
and
one
part-time
non-eligible
position
within
the
community.
Corrections
division
and
would
also
provide
partial
funding
for
two
full-time
positions:
half
being
paid
under
the
grant
have
been
paid
by
the
county,
and
that
is
a
again
a
continuation
budget.
O
So
there's
no
changes
there
and
we
have
seen
a
decline
in
some
of
our
jail
population
and
utilization
of
our
jail
programming,
and
so
this
grant
application
seeks
the
funding
of
two
full-time
eligible
positions
with
the
sheriff
department
to
provide
our
comprehensive
services
there,
and-
and
so
this,
this
grant
application
has
completed
the
grant
review
process
in
accordance
with
the
grant's
policy
and
has
been
approved
by
between
corrections
advisory
board.
O
So
this
is
a
grant
that
we've
received
since
1994,
and
I
stand
before
you
for
any
questions.
M
O
C
Thank
you
more,
so
a
comment
I
was
just
making
sure
it
wasn't
being
addressed
later
on
in
the
agenda,
but
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
mr
schmidt,
this
is
national
correction
officers
week
and
wanted
to
at
least
acknowledge
it,
because
apparently
something
hap
is
happening
right
now
that
we
all
would
have
probably
been
at
short
of
this
meeting
happening
so
definitely
want
to
just
acknowledge
our
corrections
officers.
Certainly
they
go
with
a
thankless
job,
probably
most
of
their
careers,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
share
that.
A
Motion
carries
excellent.
Thank
you,
mr
schmidt.
Next
up
we
have
item
10b
with
the
us
department
of
justice
for
the
fiscal
year:
2022
local
law
enforcement,
crime
gun
intelligence
center
integration
initiative.
That's
a
mouthful
commissioner,
charles
supported
by
commissioner
mcgilvary
good
afternoon
good
afternoon.
C
So
this
is
a
new
grant
application
opportunity
for
us.
We're
partnering
with
there
we're
proposing
to
partner
with
the
prosecuting
attorney's
office
and
the
atf
to
address
firearm
related
crime
in
the
city
of
pontiac.
And
what
we're
asking
to
do
is
create
one
deputy
two
position
in
the
sheriff's
office
and
then
a
paralegal
in
the
prosecuting
attorney's
office.
A
Okay,
commissioner,
long
okay.
M
C
That
that's,
where
the
the
primary
obviously
firearm
related
crimes
are,
and
we
have
a
lieutenant
mars
man
who
is
an
expert
in
that
field?
If
you
have
any
questions
he's
he's,
he
gave
a.
M
P
Guess
I
can
address
both
those
questions.
My
name
is
sam
marshman,
I'm
a
lieutenant,
a
detective
lieutenant
with
the
sheriff's
office
assigned
to
the
pontiac
substation.
I
currently
run
the
detective
bureau
there
right
now.
I
currently
have
10
detectives
that
handle
our
general
caseload
and
I
I
average
about
400
cases
a
month
that
I'm
assigning
between
those
10
detectives
and
I
do
have
one
detective.
I
currently
just
task
out
with
violent
crimes
and
gun
cases,
and
since
this
year
he's
had
over
a
hundred
cases
him
alone.
P
I
guess
the
reason
why
he
would
be
going
to
pontiac.
Obviously
we
have
a
need
with
the
amount
of
of
gun,
violence
and
gun
related
calls.
However,
we
also
have
two
atf
agents
that
are
assigned
out
of
the
pontiac
substation,
so
they
are
they're
from
the
cgic.
I
believe
it's
the
the
grinder
yes
crime.
P
So
they're
currently
operating
out
of
our
our
substation
with
my
detective
as
well,
and
to
address
your
question
about
why
pontiac
we
still
are
utilized
in
other
areas,
for
instance,
obviously,
with
the
oxford
school
shooting
our
detectives.
Our
whole
detective
bureau
went
up
there
at
the
atf
and
we're
still
actively
involved
in
that
investigation
as
well
we're
assisting.
But
I
guess
the
specific
need
is
it
within
that
community,
but
we
are
the
atf
and
we're
utilizing
them
everywhere.
County-Wide,
that's.
M
M
P
They
all
go
to
our
property.
Okay,.
P
M
G
G
Could
I
I
mean
what,
if
any
role,
does
the
sheriff's
office
see
participating
in
that
because
it's
talking
about
anti-violence
not
just
from
when
people
have
guns
and
are
pulling
them
out
and
using
them
on
each
other?
But
further
upstream,
are
you
all
participating
in
this?
Have
you
been
invited?
Do
you
know
about
this
how's
it
going
yes
and
knowing.
F
G
K
A
C
Okay,
so
this
is
our
annual
grant
application
for
the
auto
theft
unit.
I'm
sure
you've
seen
it
before
and
then
obviously
we'll
be
back
when
we
get
the
award,
but
it
this
year,
it's
2.2
million
requires
a
50
match.
The
local
units
that
participate
with
us
they
pay
their
own
50
match
we're
asking
to
continue
13
positions,
eight
of
those
are
within
oakland
county.
One
of
those
eight
is
contracted
with
the
city
of
pontiac.
The
other
five
units
are
royal
oak,
detroit
hazel
park,
southfield
and
farmington
hills.
I
They're
busy,
I
do
know
that
I
would
imagine
they're
still
they're
going
up.
Okay.
C
Just
a
psa
to
remind
people
to
lock
their
vehicles
and
try
not
to
leave
valuables
in
in
plain
sight
goes
a
long
way.
Yeah.
A
Out
where
I
am
they're,
stealing
catalytic
converters
off
of
cars
and
people's
driveways
and
in
front
of
their
houses,
yeah
yeah,
crazy.
So,
okay,
if
we
have
no
other
questions,
let's
prompt
the
vote.
C
A
Motion
carries
thanks
very
much
very
much.
All
right.
Next
item
is
item
11
under
econom
economic
development
and
infrastructure
committee
recommendations
item
a
appropriating
american
rescue
plan
act;
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
for
the
clinton
river
trail
safety
and
maintenance
improvement
project
motion
from
commissioner
charles
supported
by
commissioner
mcgilvray.
H
Good
afternoon,
commissioners,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
the
committee
today,
my
name
is
kristen
wilking,
I'm
the
administrator
of
trails,
transportation
and
environment
in
the
economic
development
department.
Before
you
today,
you
have
a
request
for
a
hundred
and
twenty
000
appropriation
for
the
american
rescue
plan
funding
for
the
clinton
river
trail
project.
H
H
It's
also
a
key
segment
on
the
great
lake
to
lake
trail,
which
is
a
cross
state
trail
that
starts
in
south
haven
over
on
lake
michigan,
and
it's
about
270
miles
over
to
port
huron
and
ends
over
on
lake
huron
there.
So
this
trail
provides
great
access
for
our
local
residents
and
it's
in
desperate
need
of
being
upgraded
for
ada
compliance
and
also
being
brought
up
to
federal
and
state
standards.
H
F
Yeah,
the
trails
love
the
trails.
It
wasn't.
Larry
obrecht
got
those
things
done
to
begin
with.
Now
we're
putting
all
this
money
in
to
bring
the
condition
of
the
trail
up,
but
what's
it
gonna
cost
to
keep
the
condition
of
the
trail
up
year
after
year
after
year,
so
that,
what's
the
word
we're
using
now
sustainability?
F
H
So
the
county
will
be
putting
in
120
000.
The
ongoing
maintenance
cost
will
be
the
burden
of
the
city
of
pontiac
and
they
are
putting
the
maintenance
plan
together
for
the
long-term
maintenance.
On
the
trail,
the
surface
of
it,
we
typically
get
about
10
to
15
years
out
of
a
crushed
limestone
surface.
This
was
originally
done
in
2004,
so
that
original
surface
is
just
beyond
its
useful
life,
and
so
we
need
we
need
to
make
those
upgrades.
H
But
yes,
the
city
of
pontiac
has
committed
to
that
ongoing
maintenance
for,
like
the
row
crossing
pavement
markings
and
we're
also
installing
a
new
pedestrian
push
button
signal
to
stop
traffic
over
by
bodak
park.
So
the
city
has
also
agreed
to
the
maintenance,
with
the
road
commission
for
oakland
county
to
upgrade
and
maintain
that
signal.
C
Okay,
commissioner,
kowal
okay,
would
you
like
to
use
here?
Thank
you
yeah.
This
is
not.
This
is
just
a
general
statement.
I
guess
that
was
kind
of
my
understanding
that
we're
going
to
see
some
kind
of
an
overarching
plan
for
the
arpa
funds,
and
I
see
it
starting
to
go
out
kind
of
in
bits
and
pieces
granted
a
hundred-
and
I
mean
this-
isn't
a
whole
big
amount
of
money.
C
But
there
was
all
this
big
talk
of
having
all
these
subgroups
and
and
how
this
money
was
going
to
be
spent,
and
now
it's
just
kind
of
going
here
and
there
and
everywhere-
and
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
big
consensus-
that
I'm
aware
of
on
what
buckets
of
money
we're
putting
the
arpa
funds
in.
So
I'm
just
throwing
that
out
there
good
comment.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
A
I
think
we
could
it's
sean
here.
Yeah.
A
Okay,
yeah,
yes,
okay,
anyone
else
on
this
clinton
river
trail,
let's
prompt
the
vote.
Please.
A
Thank
you
motion
carries
all
right.
Next
up,
we
have
item
11b,
appropriating
the
american
rescue
plan,
act,
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
for
a
broadband
feasibility
study.
I
guess
I'm
the
person
in
charge
of
rolling
this
out.
This
is
one
of
the
six
buckets
that
we're
supposed
to
be
looking
at
for
the
arpa
funds.
We
have
a
subcommittee
of
this
board
of
commissioners.
That's
looking
at
this
working
with
the
administration.
A
There
was
a
there
is
a
study
underway
at
the
state
of
michigan
trying
to
evaluate
broadband
access
all
over
the
state
and,
however,
their
study
does
not
include
oakland
county
and
the
reason
it
doesn't
include
oakland
county
is
because
we
are
considered
to
have
broadband
across
the
county
in
almost
everywhere
it's
needed,
and
that
state
of
michigan
study
was
looking
at
more
rural
areas
and
and
underserved
areas.
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
for
oakland
county
figure
out
what
we
have,
what
it
looks
like
where
the
weaknesses
are
whether
we
have
coverage.
A
C
C
A
A
A
I
N
Yeah
I'll
just
speak
to
it
from
a
purchasing
perspective
and
a
procurement
perspective,
I
mean
yeah,
you
know
that's
that
has
been
the
desire
whenever
we
put
something
out
to
bid
that
we
have
approval
from
the
board
of
commissioners
before
something
go
goes
out,
so
I
mean
we
put
that
price
tag
in
there.
I
think
it's
an
appropriate
price
take,
but
I
understand
what
you're
saying
I
mean
that
happens
all
the
time
and
not
just
on
this
many
things
that
we
put
out
there.
N
There's
a
history,
I'm
fully
aware:
there's
a
history
of
things,
so
I
I
mean,
I
think,
what's
important
to
understand
is
we
do
have
great
procurement
professionals
and
scott
guzy
and
the
team
that
he
has
there
in
regards
to
really
understanding
whether
somebody
is
is
expanding
the
scope
more
than
what
needs
to
be
called
for
or
not.
So
it
is
important
for
negotiations
just
because
there's
a
million
dollars
doesn't
mean
that's
where
the
price
tag
needs
to
be
at.
Let.
N
A
lobbyist,
the
answer
is
probably
yes,
so
I
mean
this
is
a
problem
that
every
every
government
has,
whether
it's
the
state
of
michigan
counties
or
cities.
When
they
get
the
approval
on
the
front
end,
you
have
to
have
approval
on
what
you're
dealing
with,
and
so
there
is
a
not
to
exceed
there.
We
expect
there
to
be
a
competitive
evaluation,
so
we
try
to
put
a
government
estimate
the
best
we
can,
but
so.
I
I
N
I
mean
it's
always
about
government
estimates
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
in
some
areas
of
government
the
the
estimating
is
a
lot
better
because
there
might
be
historical
data
there
that
we
can
look
at
and
say
hey.
We
need
x
amount
of
quantity.
This
is
the
going
rate
and
the
market
rate.
N
We
looked
at
a
recent
contract
and
so
forth,
and
you
can
you
can
do
some
pricing
on
there
on
this
there's
not
a
lot
of
broad
broadband
activity
that
that's
out
there,
so
this
could
end
up
being
500
or
250,
or
it
could
be
2
million
dollars.
If
it's
2
million
we've
got
to
come
back
and
and
potentially
get
more
appropriation
or
knock
off.
You
know
part
of
the
scope
that
that
they're
that
they're
requesting,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
question
that
you're
asking.
N
Well,
I
think
we've
gotten
our
hands
slapped
before
going
out
to
bid
and
then
coming
in
after
the
fact,
so
we're
trying
to
we're
trying
to
come
in
on
the
front
end
and
say
yeah,
okay
and
here's.
What
needs
to
happen
as
well
is
vendors
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
there
are.
You
know
there
is
an
appropriation,
because
that
is
one
thing
that
you
can
damage
your
your
competitiveness.
N
G
Yeah,
I
was
gonna
not
bring
this
stuff
up,
but
gary
thanks
for
bringing
it
up.
First,
after
talking
with
broadband
consultants
back
when
we
first
got
arpa
oakland
county
has
like
a
thousand
non-connected
or
potential
connection
sites
throughout
the
whole
county
and
there's
federal
money.
That's
already
been
allocated
years
before
from
the
fcc
to
start
getting
rid
of
people
who
don't
have
access
to
broadband.
G
In
addition
to
all
the
federal
and
state
monies
that
are
pouring
into
something
like
this,
so
one
I
think
we
can
tell
what
the
answer
is
going
to
be
from
a
feasibility
study
already.
If
we've
talked
to
the
people
in
the
field,
which
isn't
that
hard
right,
I
just
did
it
with
the
phone
call
and
a
couple
of
meetings
with
washtenaw
county
that
did
one
of
these
two
years
ago.
G
Second,
to
what
you
were
saying
about
the
precedent
it
sets
of,
we
have
to
put
the
money
out,
so
people
are
sure
of
it.
I'm
working
currently
with
the
chair-
and
I
think
y'all
were
just
talking
about
this-
is
an
anti-violence
initiative
with
the
city
of
pontiac,
where
what's
been
recommended
by
whoever
it
is
that's
in
charge
of
those
conversations
about
spending.
Arpa
money
is
come
back
with
an
rfp
like
what
we've
done
with
the
climate
action
plan.
G
You
get
the
rfp,
then
you
you
put
up
the
dollar
amount
and
then
so
there
is
precedent
for
doing
what
you're
saying
gary,
that
we
can
say.
Here's
the
plan,
here's
the
ask
once
you
have
the
request,
we'll
put
the
dollar
amount
towards
it
and
then
the
last
thing
is
like
people
that
are
in
sales
aren't
going
to
not
like
put
in
a
pitch
just
because
there
isn't
a
dollar
amount
next
time
right.
So
yeah.
N
N
Sometimes
procurement
agencies
will
do
what
they
call
rfis
when
they
don't
have
a
good
government
estimate,
which
is
a
request
for
information,
but
the
activity
on
an
rfi
isn't
very
active
because
that's
a
lot
of
investment
of
time
and
money
and
there's
no
guarantee
that
anybody's
going
to
win
you're
just
trying
to
inform
the
government
on
what
their
price
tag
might
be.
In
the
federal
government,
which
I
was
a
contracting
officer
for
20
years,
you
could
not
move
forward.
N
The
attorneys
would
not
sign
off
on
putting
the
solicitation
out
on
the
street
unless
you
had
a
form
9,
which
was
basically
the
checking
account
number
of
where
the
appropriation
was
going
to
come
from.
So
I
mean
that
that
is
the
practice
that
the
federal
government
uses,
and
you
know
that
that
is
a
best
practice.
But
I
I
understand
what
what
you're
saying
about
you
know
they're
going
to
know.
You
know
the
price
tag
so
all
right.
A
Understood,
thank
you.
I
do
want
to
make
a
couple
of
points.
One
is
that
by
we
don't
know
what
we
don't
know.
I
know
that
you
mentioned
there's
a
thousand
spots
where
people
don't
have
access,
but
some
communities
are
have
a
checkerboard
within
their
own
community
right
and
from
an
economic
development
standpoint.
It
is
really
important
that
all
of
that
stuff
we
heard
today
about
you,
know
automation,
alley
and
everything
else.
We
really
need
the
internet
in
oakland
county
to
be
robust
across
the
county,
and
that's
part
of
the
reason
for
doing
this.
A
We
don't
know
exactly
what
we
don't
really
know.
There's
also
federal
grant
funds
that
are
going
to
be
made
available,
as
well
as
state
funds
that
are
made
available,
but
they're
going
to
be
looking
for
the
match
and
so
part
of
what
we're
doing
is
trying
to
figure
out.
If
we're
going
to,
you
know,
have
money
available
to
be
matching
and
what
that's
going
to
look
like
we're,
also
talking
through
the
tri-county
summit
with
macomb
and
washtenaw
county
about
broadband
across
the
region.
A
What
are
we
doing?
That's
similar.
What
are
we
where
are
the
holes,
and
so
it
is
a
big
topic
to
try
to
get
our
arms
around,
but
to
have
a
feasibility
study
of
what
we're
doing
what
is
available
in
oakland
county
and
where
we
need
to
go
is
is
what
the
purpose
of
this
is
so,
and
we
do
plan
to
piggyback
off
the
washtenaw
county
study
that
was
done
and
other
ones
that
are
done
in
the
region.
A
But
suffice
to
say
not
all
communities
have
a
strong
broadband
across
the
way
for
all
of
their
residents
right
now,
and
we
saw
that
with
the
schools,
especially
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
So
anybody
else
have
any
other
comments.
Miss
commissioner
cavall.
G
A
M
A
A
final
bid,
evaluation
and
vendor
selection
recommendation
shall
be
submitted
to
the
economic
development
committee
that
met
right
before
this
for
consideration
and
that
approval
is
required
prior
to
the
release
of
funding.
Yes,
that's
it!
That's
the
woodward
amendment,
so
we
vote
on
the
woodward
amendment
first.
Is
that
correct?
A
A
H
A
A
Right:
let's
move
on
to
item
number
11c
resolution
appropriating
funding
for
the
advanced
manufacturing
hub
designation
for
automation
alley.
I
need
a
motion,
commissioner,
charles
supported
by
commissioner
moss,
all
right
sean.
You
want
to
tell
us.
N
Sean
carlson
deputy
county
executive,
I'm
joined
here
with
tom
kelly,
the
executive
director
for
automation
alley.
So
before
you,
you
have
a
resolution,
and
I
just
wanted
to
just
frame
things
up
here,
just
a
little
bit
before.
I
turn
it
over
to
mr
kelly.
In
1999,
the
patterson
administration
started
birthed
the
automation
alley
in
large
part
because
of
the
robust
manufacturing
in
southeast
michigan
and
in
order
to
protect
and
continue
to
grow
the
manufacturing
industry.
Unfortunately,
shortly
thereafter
from
probably
2000
to
2010,
we
didn't
have
a
cyclical
downturn
in
manufacturing.
N
We
had
a
structural
realignment
that
was
happening
and
quite
possibly
we
could
have
lost
a
lot
more
manufacturers
than
than
what
we
did
but
for
automation,
alley.
But
automation
alley
has
been
working
towards
industry
4.0,
the
next
industrial
revolution
and
part
of
that
that
we're
here
in
front
of
you
today,
speaks
to
that
and
speaks
to
the
world
being
designated
as
the
u.s
center
for
advanced
manufacturing
by
the
world
economic
forum.
So
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
mr
kelly
to
share
a
little
bit
more.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chairwoman.
Thank
you,
commissioners.
Some
of
you
there's
a
little
part
due
of
our
conversation
from
this
morning,
but
you
know,
automation.
Alley
was
formed
by
oakland
county
and
the
brooks
patterson
administration
to
really
change
the
perception
of
michigan
and
oakland
county
from
a
rust
belt
to
a
high-tech
area,
and
we've
worked
for
the
last
22
years.
L
Branding
trying
to
brand
this
region,
but
branding
only
goes
so
far
because
what's
happening
in
manufacturing
is
we're
embarking
on
a
structural
change
every
time
there's
a
structural
change.
It
creates
massive
risk
for
those
that
own
the
previous
structure,
so
the
first
industrial
revolution
was
steem.
The
second
industrial
revolution
was
henry
ford.
L
We
invented
it
right
here
in
michigan
and
we
created
great
wealth
for
ourselves
and
we've
been
living
off
of
that
industrial
revolution,
because
even
the
third,
which
was
robotics
and
computers
it
built
upon
the
second
industrial
revolution,
so
that
wealth
was
still
able
to
be
accrued
and
at
one
time
detroit
was
the
richest
city
in
the
world.
Because
of
that
wealth
we
created
for
manufacturing
what
we
saw
in
2000
as
china
began
to
come
on,
the
global
scene,
michigan
was
hurt
very
badly
and
we
had
10
years
of
declining
manufacturing
jobs
in
michigan.
L
What's
coming
now
is
another
structural
change,
which
is
this
fourth
industrial
revolution,
and
what
we
need
to
do
is
make
sure
that
one
our
manufacturers,
and
especially
our
small
manufacturers,
understand
this
revolution
as
it's
coming
and
it's
all
involved
with
digitization,
and
so
we
are
very
good
in
this
region
of
building
systems,
mostly
mechanical
systems
that
are
excellent
at
making
one
thing
very,
very
cheaply
and
and
and
leanly
and
what's
happening,
is
that
system
is
going
away
so
that
those
systems
tend
to
be
capital
intensive?
They
tend
to
be
very
difficult
and
ornery
to
maintain.
L
Hence
you
need
a
lot
of
systems,
a
lot
of
smart
people
to
maintain
them
and
we're
moving
to
things
like
3d
printing,
where
you
digitally
design
on
a
computer,
and
you
push
a
button
and
the
computer
makes
the
manufactured
part.
This
world
is
coming,
whether
we
like
it
or
not-
and
we
are
structurally
not
well
prepared
for
this-
for
this
industrial
revolution,
and
so
now
we're
talking
with
the
world
economic
forum,
because
we
need
two
things:
one.
We
need
to
culturally
change,
how
our
smalls
think
about
manufacturing
and
two.
L
L
But
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
are
a
part
of
that
conversation
because,
as
those
dollars
get
allocated
all
over
the
world,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
world
economic
forum
center
for
advanced
manufacturing
is
right
here
and
it
will
be
the
only
one
in
the
world
for
the
forum.
It'll
be
right
here
in
troy,
michigan
so
I'll.
I
I
guess
I'll
stop
there
and
and
refer
back
to
the
chair.
A
Excellent,
thank
you
so
mike
was
suggesting
you
just
talk
about
the
three
pillars,
one
more
time
and
and
the
the
the
revolution
well
how
oakland
county
fits
as
one
of
the
three
pillars
for
the
world.
Oh
my
god,.
L
Absolutely
absolutely
yes,
so
so
the
world
economic
forum
has
two
major
events
in
the
world:
they
have
their
davos,
which
is
where
they
bring
together
the
ceos
and
world
leaders.
There's
172
countries
in
the
world,
the
last
davos
they
did.
They
had
120
world
leaders,
so
it
is
by
far
the
premier
place
where
people
talk
about
what
is
happening
in
the
world.
L
The
second
event
they
do
is
in
tanjin,
china,
where
they
have
what's
called
the
meeting
of
the
new
champions
and
we
plan
to
make
our
to
host
an
event
at
this
world
center
here
in
troy,
michigan
to
make
that
the
third
pillar
for
the
world
economic
forum.
That
is
our
intention
to
intention
to
make
integrate
a
convening
for
the
world
economic
forum.
So,
while
there's
many
things
happening
around
this
center,
that
will
occur
throughout
the
year.
L
L
F
No,
no
china,
who
knows
how
long
that'll
be
going
on
given
current
events.
So,
okay,
no!
I
get
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Million
dollars
a
million
dollars
per
year
that
we're
appropriating
is
that
either
general
fund
or
arp
money
or
what.
N
That
is
general
funds,
strategic
investments
so
and
that
is
being
matched
by
medc
dollar
for
dollar
as
well.
So
we
were
able
to
to
get
a
match.
Yes,.
A
I
really
enjoy
this
committee
and
its
members
who
ask
really
good
questions
that
inform
us
all.
I
do,
commissioner
cohen
and
the
rest
of
us
as
well.
C
Thank
you
just
a
comment.
I
guess
what
you're
saying
is.
We
need
to
be
a
whole
lot
more
nimble,
and
I
imagine
that
this
4.0
way
we
won't
be
caught
so
flat-footed
anymore.
When
we
need
to
you
know
all
of
a
sudden
have
a
course
correction
and
have
whatever
happens
that
so
we
can
respond
quickly.
So
I
think
it's
a
really
good
way
to
go.
C
L
L
It
certainly
could
have
been
possible,
but
I
I
think
it
was.
It
was
not
our
so
it
we
could
have
gone
straight
to
the
state
of
michigan,
because
obviously
this
is
a
huge
win
for
the
state
of
michigan,
but
we
didn't
want
to
run
the
risk
that
the
state
of
michigan
would
determine
where
this
gets
housed.
N
That's
good
good
question
I
did
want
to
follow
up
too.
I
mean
it's
important
and
I
mentioned
this
earlier.
Four
billion
dollar
investment
in
the
lake
orient
plant
gm's
biggest
investment
in
their
history,
what's
important
to
recognize
and
how
these
two
things
you
know
tie
together
is
with
electric
vehicles
coming
online.
That
calls
for
a
lot
fewer
parts.
A
lot
fewer
parts
puts
a
big
burden
on
our
tier
2
tier
3.
Our
small
manufacturing
enterprises,
our
2200
of
them,
that
exist
here
in
in
oakland
county.
N
A
Okay,
that
concludes
economic
development
and
infrastructure.
Moving
on
to
number
12
legislative
affairs
and
government
operations
committee
recommendations
item
a
sponsoring,
the
13th
annual
international
lion,
township
kite
festival
on
june
4th
and
june
5th.
A
This
is,
I
don't
think.
A
This
is
phil's
baby
yeah,
it's
it's
a
good
event
and,
as
I
was
saying
yesterday,
I
was
listening
to
the
lago
meeting
and
I
was
they
called
on
me
because
they
saw
me
on
the
screen.
But
what
I
said
then
was
you
know
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
events
in
the
southwest
end
of
oakland
county
to
bring
families
together
like
some
of
the
more
older
communities,
like
royal
oak,
I
mean
every
week,
there's
some
festival
in
royal
oak,
so
this
one
is
a
really
good
one
because
it
brings
families
together
all
ages.
A
A
I
A
Thank
you
motion
carries
okay,
so
that
concludes
the
legislative
affairs
and
government
operations
committee
and
now
we
need
to
go
into
closed
session
with
corporation
council
closed
session
oak
versus
oakland
county.
So
I
need
a
motion
to
go
into
closed
session.
Commissioner,
charles
supported
by
commissioner
kowal,
and
we
need
to
ask
anybody
who's
not
relevant
to
the
meeting
to
step
outside.
A
A
D
D
So,
even
though
a
millage
may
go
down
that
doesn't
mean
that
the
taxes
for
the
the
property
owners
have
gone
down.
So
there's
it's
not
an
equal
equal
thing,
and
I'm
saying
he
was.
They
were
talking
about
the
millage.
Yes,
sir,
for
the
parks
and
that
the
millage
rate
went
down,
so
the
taxes
aren't
increasing,
but
it's
not
necessarily
that
if
the
military
goes
down,
if
your
property's
increased,
your
taxes
still
probably
have
gone
up.
F
If
I
may
have
the
amendment
well,
there's
heavily
in
prop
a
two
of
them
together
it
can
only
go
up
five
percent
or
the
rate
of
inflation,
whichever
is
less
and
until
the
last
couple
of
to
the
last
year.
H
F
So
the
rate
of
inflation
has
been
1.9,
so,
as
your
house
appreciates
value
and
you
get
reassessed
because
your
house
is
appreciated
and
valued,
you
will
pay,
you
will
pay
more
now.
If
the
appreciation
and
value
makes
your
house
have
to
have
a
tax
bill
that
is
higher
than
five
percent
of
the
rate
of
inflation.
Whichever
is
less,
you
then
have
a
heavy
rollback.
But
yes,
it's
not.
F
And
then
dropped
to
forty
thousand,
which
happened.
Then
it
goes
back
up
a
couple
years
later
to
100.
You
still
can
only
go
up
from
the
40
000
in
those
little
increments
of
five
or
the
rate
of
inflation,
whichever
is
less
so.
What
you're.
A
D
Maybe
there
might
be
a
way
to
say
we
approve
this
project
if
it's
a
reasonable
cost
and
we've
set
inside
certain
undisclosed
funds
to
do
that,
when
you
submit
a
bid,
then
you're
not
precluding
what
the
the
price
on
the
bid's
going
to
be
and
if
they
want
to
bid
and
do
business
with
the
county,
they
would
give
come
back
with
a
reasonable
bid.
And
then,
if
you
look
at
it
and
say
yes,
that's
reasonable,
then
okay,
that's
the
money
that
we're
going
to
fund
for
it.
D
That
way,
you
still
keep
it
kind
of
under
wraps.
Is
the
what
what?
How
much
money
you
have
that
you
would
willing
to
spend,
but
not
tell
them
what
that
is,
and
on
the
the
third
pillar
on
the
I
don't
know
about
you,
but
I
don't
like
being
second
pillar
much
less
third
pillar.
So
I
think
that
we
should
strive
to
be
first
pillar
rather
than
third
pillar.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
bronco.
Anybody
else
care
to
speak
in
public
comment,
seeing
no
one.
I
will
close
public
comment
and
if
there's
no
other
business
to
come
before
the
finance
committee,
I
will
call
us
adjourned
at
2,
46.,
okay,.
