Billings County Commission - Regular Meeting

you got it on already yep okay well it's still 8 59. oh oh well we can just call it to order we'll call the meeting to order it's a special uh

Commission meeting concerning budget looks like you have budget preparation budget prep yep this is not the budget hearing or the final preliminary or anything like that just to get an update closer to a final so that we can approve it at the August meeting In August we have to approve preliminary budget so that by August 31st I can send out budget notices to all taxpayers in Billings County and give them an opportunity to come to the final budget hearing which will be in October. It also gives notice of all the other entities' budget hearings, like the fire district will be in September. It has to be between September 7th and October 10th. So our budget hearing in October will be during our regular commission meeting. I sent you out a lot of information. There was a couple extra budgets that I forwarded to you after you had gone through and mostly approved the preliminary budgets for each department. On your preliminary budget, the big spreadsheet here, All of those numbers have been put onto this. The estimated value of one mil for 2026 is $24,289. And I'll just point out the cap calculation spreadsheet that I gave to you.

Where's that?

It should be...

That's the 3% deal? Yep.

So the North Dakota legislature put in a 3% cap on county tax levies.

Um, and it's the dollar amount. So last year we rolled over a 2.72%. We did not use our entire cap for the levies for last year. So that 2.72%, along with a 3% cap this year, we're able to roll over either until next year or we can use it all at one time. Okay. So when you go through, this is a cap calculation, and it's all the county-wide levies. So that includes the county general fund, the extension service, the weed board, the library, the historical society, veteran services, and I know I always forget one. and the unorganized townships. Unorganized townships have their own levy, so it's not county-wide, so that gets taken out of this. So you'll see less not entity-wide, that $354,551.

That was on the first page, right in the middle.

So previous, last year's levy, or this year's levy, I should say, was $992,734, and that was across all of those county levies that I just stated. So the $354,000 was just unorganized township that goes into Road and Bridge.

That's all we levied for, Road and Bridge in total.

So the base year levy, which is the highest of the last three years, is $638,000. So that's the highest that we've levied in the last three fiscal years.

So can I interrupt?

Yep.

Let's go back up to the top, the 3% and the 2.72, and you added them together. We can raise it 5.72?

5.72% of the dollars.

We can't do that because we didn't use it?

Because we didn't use the 2.72 last year. We dipped into it a little bit, but to keep the number even, we didn't use it.

So while we're talking about that number, If you were to calculate, say you pay $100 or $1,000 on taxes, I know you don't know the exact numbers, but could you explain what that would be? Say we went up 5% or 5.7.

Or is that pretty hard to tell you what you're through? Depending on the actual levy, what we levy for each fund. yeah that's what i thought you were gonna say so i mean you can take the value of a hundred thousand dollar house you know and just you take it in half to get the assessed value and then you multiply it by 0.1 if it's commercial 0.09 if it's residential and then you'll take it by the mill levy so depending on what we levy for each of these entities all together that's what's going to give you good change.

That's why I thought you'd probably really come up with this.

Yep. That's why. They want you to do budgets first and then levies later. So the previous year levy and the previous year taxable value, last year's taxable value was $22,674,000. This year's taxable value is at $24,289,000. So we've gone up a bit. So what that does to levies is when your taxable valuation of the whole county goes up, your mill levy, if you stay at the same budgets, is going to come down. The new property taxable value lying on there, that is all the new property within the county, not including this city of Medora. Which number is that? Sorry, we're on calculation two, number 19.

Number 19. New property, okay.

So that is all buildings and structures that have been added to Billings County. So Stacey had gone over that in her valuation presentation. And then the removed property is anything that's come off the tax base for the previous year, so $141,000. So that gives us an adjusted year levy of $673,354. And if you go to the second page. the legislature, they put together these different calculations. So there's four different calculations that you have to do to find out what your max cap can be. So the calculation number three, the higher base levy or adjusted year levy. So ours is the higher base year levy. The current cap is 3%, so that gives you $20,201 that we can increase. Okay.

Can you explain again how you got the $20,000 increase?

So this $673,354 is the highest of the last three years levied. Okay. So we can take 3% of that. We can increase our mill levy. The max cap using the excess percentage is below that. And so the extra percentage that we didn't use last year is a 2.72%. So it's a total of 5.72% giving a max cap allowance of $38,516. So leaving that max cap at $711,870. So that is the max that we could increase the levies across the county-wide levies for this year. Calculation number four, this would just be, I can put in the actual dollar amount on line 36 depending on what our budgets end up being. Once we add them all together, we'll put them in that line and it'll tell you whether you'll have percentage left over, whether you're dipping into your 3% this year using the 2.72% from last year. the county can roll over for five years the cap calculation. So you can use that increase in the cap to do a one-time project. You can use it just for operating expenses for the year. And you don't have to use it at all if you don't want to, if you don't want to increase your tax levies. The current budget year excess cap percentage to carry forward and the prior budget year cap percentage to carry forward is on the bottom. And so we'll get that after we finish the budgets and we'll see that total at the end. And I'm just giving this to you for your information, just so that you understand how the caps work for counties, because I know there's a lot of discussion about it across the state. There's a lot of counties that don't have the oil revenue that we have and rely strictly on their levies to function. So this is a big thing for them. And I'll just go through the other two spreadsheets that I, or other two informational forms that I gave you. The first one, it goes through all of the accounts by fund. That first, you can see all the accounts are 1,000 accounts. That's all our county general fund accounts revenue for the year. This is 2025 year, just to give you an idea of what our revenues are that funds a county So if you look on the right-hand side, I've done percentage of fund revenue. Our taxes equal about 7% of our total county revenue for the general fund. Oil and gas revenues account for almost 70% of the county general fund revenue. So for a highly volatile, could be potentially highly volatile revenue source, we don't have a stable revenue source. It's stable right now when you look back at previous years in the 80s when the oil tanked or whatever. it's not going to be there forever. So I just want everybody to start thinking about what we can do for revenue sources should the oil and gas go away. I don't worry about it as much in a non-legislative year as I do in a legislative year, because they could adjust the percentages that the counties are receiving out of the total state oil revenues. So just to keep that in mind. And then the EMS services, the EMS grants, and the governmental reimbursements account for 16% of the county general fund revenues. So there are about 972,000 for last year. And as you can see, the EMS budget for last year was 1.7. And that doesn't include all of the grants because we also use the grant fund. So this is just for you guys to look through and for future planning and to get an idea for all the different funds that we have. And they're separated. So if you always look at the first four numbers, that will match your treasurer's cash report, each of those fund numbers. So any of those revenues go into those funds. And you can see if you go down to the bottom of the first page, it starts the road and bridge. And the property tax that goes into road and bridge is not all within that road and bridge revenue. It's also the highway distribution, which is below that, the unorganized township, and the Bankette Jones BLM and federal PILT dollars. Those all go into road and bridge. or transferring to Road and Bridge or to the school. So you can see the highest revenue source, obviously, for Road and Bridge is also oil and gas royalties and the Binkhead Jones Fund.

Where is the Bankhead Jones number at?

It's on the very last page.

Or way in the back. Cause how come it's not on where the road and bridge stuff is?

Because it's federal dollars, so you don't want to commingle those with the county general fund dollars, or sorry, the road and bridge dollars, because it doesn't count against us in our reserves. So in an audit situation, if we put the revenue directly into our road and bridge fund, they would say your reserves are too high. You can't levy anything. You can't, you know.

Oh, so that's not like we're collecting that from drill blow or whatever or from other things. Right.

Okay, well, that makes sense.

So then every year, and it's kind of nice because you can make a transfer every year from the Bankhead Jones to the Road and Bridge to cover the budget, and that really shows you how much Road and Bridge is bringing in versus what we're relying on in federal dollars.

What is Taylor Grazing?

Taylor Grazing is the school's, I'm not really sure because we don't get it, It's like the SRS funding, I think.

That's okay.

Secure rural schools, and it's a different federal payment that comes to some counties.

you know i think taylor grazing might be is that more blm is it i can't think so yeah it's not been since i've been here okay

And I don't want to race through this, so if you have any questions, just... And I should have put on that, if you want to write on top of yours, 2025, just so it's clear that those are the full 2025 year revenues.

On this page?

On the top of that one, yep. Those are all 2025, because I wanted to give you a full year to review.

I have an answer for you, Steve, if you're curious. You looked it up. The Tailored Grazing Act funds are federal revenues collected from livestock, grazing fees on public lands that are split between range improvement projects and state-level county distributions.

So they must keep it all, the grazing.

I would assume so without looking more. It's state and county shares, remaining collected money. After range improvements, money is funneled to western states to offset lost tax revenues in counties where federal land is located. Thank you.

The last packet that I gave you. This is 2025. These are the expenditures and the budget to actual and showing the variance between what was budgeted and what was actually spent in each one of the line items. So as you're looking through budgets and kind of wondering, well, you know, is this too high? Is it too low? You can see the budget that was set and what was actually spent for 2025. So it's just informational for you guys when you're looking through each one of these. Say you pulled out, make it down to radio expenses, for instance, which is on the third page. There's a little break on the bottom there, and then it says radio expenses. You see that. Oh, here we go. Yep. So for 2025, $225,000 was budgeted. $204,000 was actually spent. So it was over budgeted by $20,000, but who knew what we were going to spend on radios. And $220,000 was a very good number for that.

No. To me, that looks like an underspend.

Right. Did I say overspent?

Yeah.

I'm sorry. No. It was not overspent.

Because it should be a minus. Yeah. Okay.

You're correct.

Okay.

That's why I said 225 was a very good number.

Yeah, because there's 20,000 left of the good. Correct. Great.

And you can look on the rest of them. So there's a couple here. The negatives mean it got overspent.

Correct.

Okay.

And so when you're looking at that, too, at the end of the year, you can say, okay, why was this overspent? Say we had a purchase that you didn't anticipate of a new vehicle or a new whatever. a couple new computers or something like that that wasn't anticipated. As long as each department stays within their total budget, it's not a problem. And as long as all county general fund expenditures stay within the total general fund budget, you're fine, you're not gonna get in an audit situation where you're in trouble. So some of the things that may have been padded can compensate for some of the things that went over. So when you look at the last line of the general fund, which is the next page.

So we were 3,329,000 under what was budgeted.

But like in the letter that I gave to you guys as well, we were still a million dollars over. We're in a structural deficit, essentially. So our recurring expenses and our recurring revenues do not match. So just, you know, I'm not trying to scare anybody. I'm just, that is where we're at. the structural deficit.

So in an audit situation, if we spent, say, $200,000 more than our budget in the general fund, they would want to flag something then?

Right. So we would need to make, before the end of the year, we would need to make a budget amendment to amend the total general fund budget in that amount because we have the cash to be able to cover that. Okay?

Okay.

If that makes sense.

Okay, so then the $3 million got put back in or got left in the general fund then. That was underspent.

Right. So we still spent $7,173,000 out of, at the beginning of the year, it was probably roughly about $10 million in balance. And then our revenues every year are roughly $6 million for the county general fund. So depending upon, like I said, oil revenues in different revenue sources, should those revenues not come in, then you're going to be in a bind. Where they're at right now, you're using roughly a million dollars in reserve to cover what you're budgeting. your sheet said we have about six or what was the number six million in reserve not in reserve but in uh revenues annually so where is that paper that shows we got six million the number you're talking about so that's on that first one where we're showing the revenues um the 2025. okay So if you look at the bottom of where all the 1,000 numbers are.

Oh, yeah, 6,216. Okay.

I'm confused when you see a negative beside it.

I know. Yeah, sorry.

Sorry. Well, you're just going to get it in your mind if that's what it means.

Negative is good. Yeah. okay with the county general budget did you have any questions on the additional forms that I emailed you it was including the health insurance and all of the other county general fund expenditures. I don't know if you want me to go through them one by one. one large sheet where it has everything all put together in it. There were two expenditures or two departments that we still hadn't figured out so one is for the county commission for you guys to decide what the budget is going to be for that and then the other one domestic violence is going to be in at the next meeting in august so i don't know if their request is going to change from what it's been in previous years so i just highlighted that one but they are on the agenda for next week All of those from public safety to health and welfare, insurance, culture and recreation, The land use plan expenses, zoning and planning, and soil conservation, those are all expenditures that come out of the county general fund. So they're included in our primary planning, preliminary planning.

On the soil conservation...

is it back to the normal amount that one year they had their building deal yeah that was in 20 that was in 23 or 24. okay it was a 27 000 request that year and it came back down to 12 000. well 2025 was 11 000 and now it's 12 000.

so the airport uh line item that just could be removed or would it can be removed yep right it was zero last year yeah yeah and i have it as zero i just have it as a line item in case there is requests i see

And Roosevelt-Custer Regional Council is going to be in at next week's meeting too, but they have sent their budget request, which was $7,700.

It doesn't say there shouldn't be any increase.

question for Travis maybe Southwest narcotics task force do you know if they can do like a budget request like in writing because we never get anything from them and the auditors have been concerned about that that we just paid Southwest narcotics task force without a budget request Yeah, well, just this is how much we're requesting for 2027.

Yeah, I can check with their chairperson.

Because there's no real contract or anything like that. It's just an annual.

Yeah, I'll check with the chair. Okay. Okay.

and it stayed at 18,000 as far as I know and they have a different a separate board from

So I have a question. Are we done with that subject? Yep. Oh, third page of this here stuff. There's that general fund gas fuel 120,000 and we use looks like 32, but what does that go toward?

So the $32,000 is what's been used year-to-date, so as of the end of June.

On what, though, is what I'm trying to say.

On all of the expenditures for fuel for EMS law enforcement.

Not Road and Bridge. Road and Bridge has got their own. No, Road and Bridge has their own. All right.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yes, this is just for the county general fund, anything that's under the county general fund fuel.

Okay. So if you look back, that number should be in here, a full year of numbers on this for fuel.

Oh, you know your numbers.

Yeah, he just got them pulled from Colleen.

and then that emergency services line item that's in there that's a county general fund expenditure but you can see in 2025 we had 1.8 million dollars 851. the 351 000 was for um the truck that the fire district purchased

So I guess question for Kyle or whoever, like radio expenses say going forward this year, would that be for the new units or like since we kind of changed over on some? Or what do we proceed?

So right now we're in process of transition. There are a few more radios that need to be purchased this year yet. I guess I'm keeping it at 125 because we probably won't do the full transition until next year sometime. And then after that, that will probably come down again. So bulk of everything's been purchased.

But that's because the state is making it happen.

As far as audit fees, that's pretty much

Yeah.

Never going to go down?

No, and it's actually more if you're requesting the state auditor's office to do it.

More? Oh, sorry. This one here. Yeah, $150,000. It's budgeted for 25.

That'll be for a two-year audit, so not just a one-year audit.

Yeah, I'm looking at 25, too, my bad, not 26.

Well, then you go down to human services there, right next to the bottom, the 45, the 50, and the 50.

Human resources?

Human resources, sorry, I said it wrong.

And that's always been kind of a budget that we've kept in there in case we need human resources contracted out, either for our policy manual being worked on or other things. And I don't know how, if Jared's going to be... doing the policy manual now, we could probably lower that budget by a bit. But it could also be legal expenses if there's any issues that come up that you have to outside contract for. Yeah.

I'd be fine leaving it. Never know what employment issue you could have, too, among employees.

Yeah, I think we leave it there, too. It's not that much, and that helps. Yeah. so going up to the top page or the top line county vehicle maintenance so each one of the they have their own and then and what is what is the 3000 car 3000 is just for the county courthouse vehicle the one that dale uses and stacy okay

So if he has to spend $5,000, then he has to take it out of his budget someplace?

And that budget could go over, say they had a big, something needed to be replaced, it could go over as long as the total general fund is on there, but I'm not anticipating any big repairs on it, I'm hoping, but you never know.

A set of tires is whatever, that's plenty high already too, so $3,000 doesn't do much.

And it's mainly for oil changes and regular maintenance of it. And the only other thing that needed to be done was for the commission budget. I gave that to you at the last meeting.

Where is that page? I guess we had it last. Yeah, it was with your last meeting. If you want this one, I can share it.

I suppose I got it in here somewhere.

I can print them all for you guys too.

No, that's fine.

So the place marker that I put in there, that is the salary, um, on the top line or on the top line of the preliminary budget, the large sheet of paper. That amount is with two additional commissioners with the same salary and benefits and everything as the current board. So that 170,000 is where the salary line item would go or the total budget. Sorry.

So how much will each new commissioner get? Or how much does each commissioner get now, I mean?

I think $34,168 would be the $20.

But then how much at $34, but how much for the benefits? Oh, I guess.

or where is that in these numbers here the benefits are not included in those numbers it's included in the budget that we the budgets that we just went through with the health insurance dental vision so that portion is not included in the commissioner's budget there something like this yes that's what i was pulling up on my computer here So what was approved with the cost of living with the 2.25% increase would bring the salary to $34,168.41 each? The benefits annually, health insurance is slated to go up 5.51%, so $30,587.64 each. Say the number again, 30? $30,587.64. The dental family, single dental would be 506-506-40 and vision 144 annually. Along with matching social security and retirement, et cetera.

Yeah, that's extra too, yeah.

Correct.

Mm-hmm.

I guess as I stated last meeting, I'd like to see the same commission budget stay relatively close to the same.

So the 2026 budget for commissioner salaries was total 100,249. Is that where? That's on the spreadsheet that I had given you last meeting with the commissioner budget on it.

This one? It should be in your book, yeah. This 105? That was, oh, 108.

Correct, but if you look in the top, it's commissioner salaries. Oh yeah, the 100, sorry. Yeah.

Do you guys want to make copies of this first?

I can print it up in here. That would be good. Well I think I...

I've got that paper here. This paper I got. That purple and that pink. And where's the one that you're looking at for the total?

Ah right there was

she's going to print them out for oh because that isn't in this here bunch no that would be my just put it in here and through the drawer

Thank you.

Do you want to blame one? Sure. And last year, the commissioner travel budget was over by 2667 so we'll have to increase the commissioner travel budget and depending on where the two new commissioners live and the mileage from their home to here that'll affect that as well so um so our dues will probably go up a little bit too huh a couple more people the dues should just be per county based on population so okay should be fine

And that goes to the NADCO or whatever, the dues?

The North Dakota Association of Counties, yep. And then your association, the County Commissioners Association as well.

suggestion you should change the commissioner phone line item to something different to reference.

That you guys don't have your own individual phones. Yeah, it's been a line item since well before I came here. It's not that you have individual cell phones or anything. It's just that this room phone base.

Bye.

so that's the only thing that will need to be figured out by next meeting and then the domestic violence as i said will be in here at the august 4th meeting and if there's anything that you guys find as you're reading through that you have changes or you want to see different so where is the total

uh right here the general budget on this big page here is that is that yep so you can see the 2025 uh total

The 2026 general fund budget is $8.5 million. The 2027 requested is $8.2 million. So that's a decrease of $364,000 in budget authority. And then I put on there as well taking the presidential library costs or the budgets out of there was the $500,000. So it's actually taking that out, it's an increase of $135,000 of budget from this year to next year.

So that's the difference from if you get that out of there, yeah.

so

I'd like to make a motion that we set the commissioner's salaries to $20,000 a person.

Well, I guess we have to go with that for now, and then we'll ask some questions. But there's a motion on the table, I guess, for $20,000.

And benefits, you could say. What? And benefits. The wage for $20,000.

Is there a second to that? With benefits, okay. Okay, is there a second to that motion? And then motion dies over a lack of a second. So let's get the total cost up there again for each commissioner so that we kind of know what that number is for the new commissioners coming in and us. Because it should be somewhere around 70 or 80,000 per commissioner, right?

So it's $34,168.41 per commissioner for total salaries of $102,505.24. Okay, $102,504? $505.24.

I'm going to worry about pennies. Okay, so you divide that by three. Does that include the Social Security and all that other?

No, it does not.

And so do we know?

So we don't include that in the commissioner's budget. In this commissioner's budget, it's included in the total general fund costs. So it's not going to make that much of a difference out of the entire $60,000 additional to the health insurance general fund line item. but that's already been accounted for within the other budgets that we went through this morning.

So if we stayed with the $34,000, we'd basically go up $70,000, plus we'd have to add in more mileage money. So another $4,000 or $5,000, so maybe $75,000 we'd have to go up the same, or not same, but I guess that's what I'm pointing out.

with the additional commissioners correct yeah sorry with two more yeah but i mean i guess i'm i'm looking at the total budget because you said total budget with benefits 102 is no i think Isn't that what you meant?

I think he meant $20,000 for the salary itself and then allowing for benefits for each of the commissioners as well. I guess I shouldn't put words in your mouth, but is that what you meant?

Yeah, you take the $100,000 we have right now, you divide it five ways. You get $20,000-ish.

Okay, that's what you came up with. But I mean, what are we spending right now on commissioners?

So that's the salary, right?

That's just a straight salary. And then health insurance is $30,587 each. So multiply that by five. And then do you want to know the total amount here?

If you have it.

I can figure it out here. with life insurance dental vision. So health insurance would be 152,935. It's hard to say because you don't know if the other commissioners will take health insurance or will not take health insurance. They may have health insurance somewhere else.

We've got to figure it in, though.

The retirement is roughly $6,000 each.

So that hasn't been added in, these other numbers, so we've got to add $6,000.

So with health insurance and retirement, it's roughly $182,000 additionally with the benefits.

$182,000 additionally.

Not over the three versus five, but total. so on here you had 170 so you're figuring 10 in extra extra so that does not include the health insurance dental vision anything like that that that dollar amount on the preliminary budget because the health insurance comes out of a separate line item that includes everybody in the county general fund if that makes sense so you don't have to adjust anything on your commissioner budget for the health insurance and dental and vision it's just figuring out what the salary is because the salary will affect the other line item for retirement and for health insurance and for you know things like that it's it i mean the salaries aren't going to affect the change in in health insurance but just the retirement and the matching so each commissioner approximately is getting 71 to 70

Two, $3,000.

So including matching and everything else for the year, the benefits are $39,411 each. Thirty-nine what? $39,411. Okay. Depending on what they...

In benefits. Correct. If you're doing family.

Correct.

That's with the wage and the benefits.

Plus the $34,000 in salary.

That's without wage. That's without wage? Yes. Just in benefits? Yep. Yes. Because the wage is $34,000, $33,000, whatever it is. So yeah, your number is $72,073. And that's for five. That's for one. And then we come up with 73.

So to add two more commissioners, that's 145,000 each year.

So if you take the $20,000 I proposed, you add $39,000, so you add $59,000 as a commissioner.

i'd say we leave it as is for the year we've got two more commissioners coming in i'm sure they can have their say in it what's gonna happen i don't think starting at a commissioner's salary is where to start start there that we go in every department and start

The workload should be a little bit less with two more people to be on boards or take...

I don't think the workload is there.

That's got nothing to do with it. I don't think so either. We're still going to have the same meetings that somebody's going to have to go to. Unless you think of something else as far as workload, I don't know what you mean.

Well, like a different board. Maybe you're not on zoning anymore. Maybe you're not on corrections and you still do your other two duties or something.

You know, it's just going to get spread out more because those duties all have to be done. We're not saving or cutting.

I meant individual mode, yeah. That's what I meant was individual.

And the mileage will almost be the same because whether I go to the south with a correctional center or the new one, it's still going to have to go to the south.

if it stays left alone do we need a motion or can it just be there or do we so the amount that i put in for the salaries on your preliminary budget was a 170 842.06 that isn't here though no not on this okay if they're new positions in that sense of being put on the deal does it need to be a motion or

or since it's elected type deal, Jared?

Say again?

His question, if you need a motion on it, since they are in new positions, but yet they're new elected positions, for it to set the salary, did we need a motion on that?

And at the beginning of the year, they do a resolution to set salaries? For sure.

I don't think that we need a motion because it got put into motion by a vote.

as long as we leave it i mean like you made a motion to maybe change it that that makes sense okay but um and and when you set the budget you know you'll have a preliminary budget that'll be sent out and then you'll have the final budget hearing and you'll approve the final budget um so yeah i think as long as the final budget is approved Because they'll set salaries at the January meeting of next year. That's when you do your resolutions to set the salaries. Because you could change your minds between now and then on anything.

Yeah, and then the new board can help make the decision also.

The only other item that I would change on there is the commissioner travel salary. I would increase that to $5,000.

Yeah, there will be more.

Mainly because it was overspent last year, so I want to make sure that it's covered for next year.

any other questions for me and the budgets when can we make a change or some sort of can you go over that adjustments or how does it spell out tell October between now and October you can increase the budget if it's going to affect the mill levy can

if it's going to affect the mill levy so if we have to levy more dollars than we had initially anticipated but our County general fund does not rely on the mill levy whatsoever to cover its budget so the budget can change between now and October it can go up or it can go down it just cannot go if if say our budget was $200,000 and in in October you say no now we're gonna budget $500,000 and we relied solely on the county mill levy that's where it would be a problem well I just wanted it so that we knew you know

So by this next meeting next week, we're not going to go over much, are we?

No, and that's kind of what I wanted, just so that during a regular meeting you weren't dealing with everything in the budget.

No, this makes it shorter. This is a better deal here.

And then next meeting, a few things will change, or may change. domestic violence is going to come in, Roosevelt Custer is going to come in, the library is going to come in, and the school district is going to come in. They have a request for Bankhead Jones for next year. But I'll send you that with your packet for next week's meeting.

Do you want this or can I leave it in here?

No, you can leave it in here. I'll get you guys eight folders. if you want. Just trying to be thrifty.

I'm going to take this home, but I'm going to leave this big book here. I like one for every year because I got them at home. Okay. Okay, is there anything else anybody wants to, concerning the budget? We have to stick to the agenda. If there isn't, does anyone want to make a motion to adjourn?

Move to adjourn.

We have a second.

I'll second. Meeting is adjourned. Thank you all.
