Thank you.

Anybody here to speak to public comments? Hearing none, we'll move into the finance report. Mr. Shager, please.

Well, I'll start off. Is this everybody here? Mm-Hmm. Start off with 24 audit. This is the last meeting. This department's been trying to reconcile everything. Then 23 and 24. I'm not 100% sure that we're going to have 23 all reconciled. But we did send in the final 24 numbers today for the cash reconciliation that we were missing the receivables and payables have already been submitted and reviewed and adjusting entries have been made for those. Based off of the information we gave them today, we believe we'll get a final draft on June 5th and hopefully be able to get a final version before the 15th of June so we can close on the field loan and get everything into the state at that point in time. 25 close out. Once we get everything finalized on the 24, we can start doing things on the balance sheet for the 25 to get that to 24 rolling forward. I've been entering data that I can into the state's AFR system. That's the financial system that we can put in, like all the bond stuff that takes some time to do. So when we get in all the other balance sheet and income statement stuff, everything hopefully will match up and make it occur quicker. We're still anticipating the same loss in 25 that I said right along, about $2.5 million. 26 budget. I sent out a report that compares the 25 and 26 numbers. When you look at the budgeted numbers, those are the revised budget. So if we made any adjustments during the year, that is in there for 26. The actuals are year-to-date as of the end of April. I'm still anticipating a shortfall of a million dollars that I've said multiple times. I also included a sales tax report in there for you to look at that the state put. January and February looked like they were pretty stable. March had a fairly significant decrease. I'm not sure exactly why that happened. Hopefully it corrects itself. It's odd that one month of dropped by 8%, and that is just not normal. There are any sales taxing, except for during COVID. And hopefully that's, I haven't heard what that problem might be, but that seems like there was something not correct in that. On a monthly basis, weekly, daily basis, the mayor and departments are looking to try to trim wherever they can to save money at the beginning. reduce that deficit of a million dollars. And also, if you're looking at that budget, actual budget from 25 or 26, we should be at a 33% one rate. Now that's not 100% accurate because some bills all come in at the beginning of the year. Some bills may get paid twice a year. So you might see a 50% on some of them or 40% on some, some even close to 100%. But I did hand out a report, talking to the mayor. We tried to run a report that will show where we stand for items that were over 40%. You could go through that. And I wrote down the reasons why, not necessarily my reasons. I talked to the fire department, the police department. They supplied me with responses to them, PW. and some of them I put in, I was aware of. But if you have questions on those, feel free to give me a call. There's one large item, if you remember, there was a truck that we did a, it was an 80,000 hour truck that we used back in, we used money in 25 to purchase it, but it didn't come in at 26. So it looks like it's over budget, but when those, that purchase order rolls into 26, it'll be fine. There's some things on that report that will say divisible by zero. So if there was nothing budgeted for a line, it's going to show up divisible by zero. So zero divided by zero is going to give that number. If there was a number that is an actual number and shows that up, I have to go through that with the departments in Miami that go to the wrong department or whatever to get fixed or whether we should do a budget mod to put it there. I haven't gone through those yet, but... That is one of my goals here before our next audit and finance committee. Sewer and water funds both look decent at this point in time. On IT projects, still working on the tax upgrade in Munis. The cashiering system, we've spent a lot of time over the last week or so, I'm going to guess, I put 20 hours here and did another four hours yesterday. So there's a lot of time going into getting that system up and going. We anticipate that to happen in early June. I'll say first week of June, but at this point, I'll say early 12th on that first week. Other financials, there's a health insurance report. As of the end of April, we were at $40,000. It was 41%, 41.6% of what we budgeted. I would not say that's uncharacteristic because we're going to have the higher HRA numbers earlier in the year. And as the years go on, it should decrease. So 41.6 is nothing that I'm scared of at this point. The report itself, so that if there was a person went to the doctors in January, the January report would only show what was actually claimed. So each month, if that claim occurred in January, that number in January will increase. My experience to deal with them on a self-insured plan, basically after 90 days, 96% of the claims were submitted. So anything that came in in January, 96% of that money will show up by the end of April. So when you're looking at that January number, I think that's a pretty solid number that you're going to see. On the flip side, February might be about 92, 93%. So I think this gives you a pretty good picture of where we stand through the end of April. I believe that's all I have. Anyone has any questions?

Just a couple. And first of all, I appreciate the work going into the 2024 audit, but together we're making good progress there. You had mentioned previously that there will be a lag between completing the audit, understandably, and when the financial restructuring board can complete their review. How long in the timeframe gap are we expecting there?

The financial review board will not come in until the fall at the earliest. Okay. Okay. We're looking at probably October, November. They don't meet during the summer. And then Kevin would say he'd give himself in September to get the crew together and try to come in in the October, November time period. He basically said there will be no assistance for us in the 27 budget. We're going to be on our own to get that done.

And then... My other question was, I appreciate the update on the sales tax. I did take a look at that as well. Those numbers, I imagine the comptroller gets monthly. I think the report we have is for the first quarter, but I assume you'll be able to track that on a monthly basis.

The county gets numbers better than we do. The county is more in tune with what's occurring in the city as we get it. Thank you.

Well, we're going to ask them to return this.

Well, what way it works is I guess they pay the county every two weeks, and then they do a reconcile every quarter, and that's when we get paid. And so the county can see what the payments are, but they don't really get an idea where we stand until that reconciliation gets done. They'd like to get that information out in case it's wrong.

Okay. Anybody else? All right, thank you. Yeah, it was good to see you. I met with the auditor today on the phone call. First time I had one with him was just to see where everything, make sure everything's in line, that he has everything he needs. That was good to hear. They got him within 1,500 hours of balancing out. That was commendable. $10 million, $1,500 is pretty good. So I was pretty impressed with the stubbornness of the auditor downstairs. But it was good to get that done, I'm sure. Well, thank you for that. And on the financial restructuring board, I do have a document here that I want to send out. I'd like to get everybody to sign it. I thought it would be more impactful to show everybody signing it and turning it into them. So I'll leave it with everybody here to read and sign that, and also the adjustment paper we'll do every month. to do that, you're open to signature on that. So I'll pass it this way and they can pass it back.

And to clarify, the Financial Restructuring Board, I imagine it's endorsing that we still have to pursue it.

Can I send that back?

I'll jump in right there for a second. The Financial Restructuring Board said we didn't have to do a resolution, but the letter with everyone's current board signatures on it saying this is what we want will suffice. Okay. They just want to make sure that everybody that's on the current council is on board with this.

That's what this does. To paraphrase the whole document, and please welcome to read it, the mayor and council believe that participation in comprehensive review demonstrates the city's commitment to transparency, accountability, and responsible governance. We welcome the opportunity to work collaboratively with the Financial Restructuring Board to evaluate the city's financial operations, administrative practices, and organizational structure in order to identify recommendations that will support sustainable municipal operations moving forward. I'm pretty sure that's just a general tone of it all. And that's what we're all agreeing. They're just saying that we all are for it. You're not, nobody's against it. I don't know how we can do it anymore. So please feel free to read it. All right. On the mayor's report. Thank you, Mr. Shager. On the mayor's report over, I just want to talk about a couple of things. The code office did a bang up job today. We had an incident up on Clayton. Some decided to have a party over the weekend and empty off garden overnight, last night, and then decided to empty all the furniture out of the front lawn and try to light a metal object on fire or later fluid. It didn't work very well, but nothing to dry away. But thanks to the court office and Deputy Chief Reynolds for being on top of that scene and getting that to happen. And so the owner is seeking prosecution. So thanks to the police department, everybody working together to make that not happen again. Some of these students should have been gone and they didn't. Overall, We had a pretty good turnout with the students this year, overall decent, and just some issues, I'm sure, but overall, they were a pretty good bunch of kids, except the ones that lagged behind. Today, the code office, I commend them as well. They did over 60 code violations today alone for trash, grass, and, you know, just general, so they really put it in pretty hard and probably hit in your districts with the college overlap. three, four, and five, et cetera. So again, I appreciate that continuing effort. They really jumped hard on it, really hit them hard. So that shows an impact. We're able to get them to where they need to go. So we're excited to be able to get that moving. On last Thursday, I met with Richard Mayfield from the USDA to look at some funding for some projects to be able to do some things that they were doing. It was a very exciting meeting. I was very excited about some of the things we have. possible projections for fire department buildings and improvements that would be able to be funded as being a weekend. I attended the Guthrie Nightingale event in Lake Creek Peak, honoring all the nurses. And, you know, I got educated by some local nurses on what Nightingale and all that she did. And that whole event is a great, great way to honor those nurses that put up with a lot, I'm sure. at a comprehensive plan check-in meeting, met with QPK. They're coming in on Thursday to go through the ADA accessibility for this building. And we attended a retail activation in Portland with community stakeholders. So it's a group to be able to look at all the vacant commercial sites that we have in our community or county. And then totality, trying to come up with ways to who to reach out, who the stakeholders are, how to reach out, how to get more interest in some of those vacancies that we have. The city, although bragging, is doing well compared to all of it, but we all have, there's a lot of vacancies that need to be filled. So trying to get those all filled and work together to make that happen is a positive thing. So 18 Dockins received the historical marker and from the county historical society who was crushing it and had a good dedication ceremony. Thank you, Mr. Beckwith, for attending that. He's not here, but he did attend to that while I was at NICOM. uh, speaking with other municipalities with similar into the same problems that we have at the trash meeting last night. I think that was productive and looks like we're gonna have something to be able to deliver here by the next meeting, I would say. Um, and I want to thank Mr. Murphy who's in the audience here for the design commission that is the landscape and design commission has looked at getting where the bike racks and all the benches are on Main Street getting them located and deciding working with, uh, the business owners to make sure they're excited about doing it and doing all that and having the vision to make, keep Main Street looking good and the rest of the city as well. So I'm excited about what's going to be coming. So it'll all be documented. I'm sure with nice pictures. Mr. Berger, thank you for that. Don't forget today is a school budget vote. We have time after this meeting. It's going to happen until nine. So we got, it's all the way up until nine. Remember it's in the lower gym on the back of the building in the back. I guess there's an art. Is that it there, Rick J? That was really nice. So hopefully everybody gets a chance to enjoy that. Thursday, Fire Academy graduates. We have Hannah Roman and Jake Benightry are graduating in Montcourt Falls. So I'll be attending the Chief, the Chief and others to hopefully, is Ben going to sing the national anthem again? You don't know me. Okay, so I'm not gonna be a surprise. I guess we'll figure that out. The acapella did last night. So it was always great to see our candidates graduate go through that. Also the same time period, I'll be able to attend is the mental health walk. So everybody can attend. That'd be great. So show this city representation. It starts at 12pm and the resource fair is at starts at 11. That's at the county fairgrounds. So there's going to be at the fairgrounds, get out there to do that. And speak to fairgrounds landing at the fairgrounds will be my favorite. parade, the June Dairy Parade, which will be the second, which our meeting will not be held. Our next meeting will be June 16th. So a reminder that everybody's calendar there. You get one meeting off to go to the Dairy Parade. So if anybody would like to ride in that vehicle or do be part of it and do their princess wave, that would be great. And the Sound of Memory and Grand Reopening of the Reception of the Groton County Music Park We will be out of the city. It's a great program. It starts at 5pm on Thursday as well. And that just remind everybody to sign those documents. Okay, with that, we'll go to Ward 3.

Ward 3. So we're good. I spoke with Mike Weiss about updating the status of fixing the streets that are in question that came up at our ward meeting. And he's on it, and Sue Kodes is on it, and they will get done. We'll get a timeline. Just a couple of code issues that I talked to Roy Everett. Everything's being taken care of. Otherwise, Ward 3 is fine. Question. Ward 4?

Ward 4 is good. The big parking lot across the street from my house is now empty. Okay. And I can still see it now. Of course, when they build a new dorm, I won't be able to see it. But the students are gone and traffic has come down. Yeah. And it's all good and before.

We had a bucket drive or the boot drive this week. Oh, yeah. Did you get a count on that by chance? What do you guys pulled in on the boot drive? Just over $6,300.

So that was a great year. I know we delayed traffic a little bit, but it was a huge success. We had three to five members of the community stop and share with Firefighter Bowers, Firefighter Red, and Firefighter Zosnack how this impacts their world. And they actually had testing or something done through the Muskegon District People's Association. So to actually have those real life stories stop and share was pretty hard. So it's a great impact. And again, thanks to the Former Professional Firefighters Association, making it happen.

So the ones that stood out there and were hot, you know, everybody with a hawk and horse got a reward.

You didn't have the little things, I mean, because I went up and down Tompkins Street four times that day, and you didn't have the little things.

So unfortunately, there was an event that caused the basement of the headquarters to receive all these amounts of water, so we lost the stickers. The little easy passes we call them, because people typically donate lots of We'll just stick her out and send one back to her three or four times.

Or you just donate four times.

Yeah, there you go. So, of course, you'll have all the stickers in the floor. Okay. Next year, we'll get them.

Okay, thanks.

Good hands on all that.

I'll tell you to shut up. All right. Let's get back. So, we will be getting back on track with board meetings on Monday, June 15th at 6 p.m. in Beaudry Park. So, I will be in the next couple of weeks doing the rounds there. with flyers chatting with folks to get the word out about that. There's a couple crosswalk issues in the ward. I know I mentioned one of them to yourself and Mr. Wise yesterday. I can't remember which of the two, but they're both at the intersection of the clock tower going from out front of the rock to the Portland Standard. That crosswalk button seems to be jammed. I think that's the one I mentioned yesterday. The second one is going from the clock tower to Portland Diner. That one is functional, but the hand in front of Portland Diner, the walk hand, doesn't actually appear. So I think it's a little confusing until the countdown starts five seconds later that you have the walk. Other than that, things are going well. We're enjoying the nicer weather. So there's a delay? So the white walk hand pops up. I'm pretty sure the countdown doesn't start until five seconds after that. So since the white hand doesn't actually display, there's no signal, and you're able to walk until the countdown starts a couple of seconds later.

Right. Just a couple of things. That's DOT. Okay. Mr. Carpenter is aware. We've been playing with DOT to try to get those involved. We have always issued a request. We're trying to get that resolved, so we will make sure the list gets expedited and look at all. section. I would assume they would, but we'll remind them to do that. I appreciate it. Anything else you want to say? Thank you, Mr. Cartman. Is there an estimate on that with DOT? I told them to contact them every day. I'd leave it do it by email so I have a track of it so I can go higher up and say we're not responding. That's about it.

I think Mr. Lewis for being aggressive on the properties, the dilapidated properties in my ward. He's been aggressive on the corridor and that stuff.

So it's a big help. Thank you. That's it. Thank you.

Mr. Reagan.

Just a few things. Those individuals that do walk with dogs, it is a requirement they be on leashes. I had an instance where one dog actually came across the street and two others, but the owner was quickly able to call it back. But it could have been much worse if that wasn't the case. So we need to be a little bit more proactive when walking our dogs. We have two old bus stops in my ward. I did check to see if there were any schedules noted on them. there isn't any. So I'm going to make the assumption that these were originals that have been abandoned, but they're being utilized for other things besides picking up people. So I'd like to work on trying to get those removed. Quick chicken update, I did visit the one residence, a couple that moved from Watertown down to Courtlands. They seem to really know and done their chicken research, so I did let Andy know it's okay to proceed forward with that permit. I have the other one scheduled for tomorrow night, so I'll let you know the next meeting how that comes out, but I don't expect any issues at this point. I would like an update on our e-bike, e-scooter ordinance. Once again, I witnessed an individual We're going to stop sign tonight. Just a matter of time before something happens. And I hope I'm not there to see it. And now that's all I have for the eighth board. Thank you.

All right.

Thank you. We'll get that going again.

All right. Anybody else? So except that's a minute. So I'm going to put in a motion, Mr. Carpenter. Second. Second. Okay. Mr. Conlon, anybody have any questions for the listeners? Resolutions agenda number one, approve grant applications to the New York State environmental facilities for the NFC, the wastewater department and water department cybersecurity assessments.

I'm a lick.

No. There's no cost to us other than our Administrator across the turnpike service. All right. So I'm assuming they're forwarding it to anybody who applies. Hopefully, you've been asked any questions.

Council Member Piniello.

Aye.

Council Member Lane.

Aye.

Council Member Conlon. Aye. Council Member Carpenter. Aye. Council Member Michaels. Aye.

Agenda item number two, approve event permits for Portland County community of color C4s. Juneteenth celebration in Courthouse Park on June 19th, 2026.

Resolved by the City of Portland County Council. The result that the City of Portland County Council hereby approves issuance of event permits without fee as described below for the Juneteenth celebration, June 19th, 2026 from noon to three in Courthouse Park. I issue a special event permit and a sound device permit without fee. Be it further resolved that the City Clerk shall issue said permits conditioned on fulfillment of applicable state and local code requirements.

Second. Mr. Conlon, any questions on that?

Councilmember Piniello?

Aye.

Councilmember Lane? Aye. Councilmember Conlon? Aye. Councilmember Carpenter? Aye. Councilmember Michaels? Aye.

Agenda item number three, amend. The 2026 adopted budget.

Resolved at the City of Portland County Council does hereby amend the 2026 general fund budget as outlined in the accompanying table, decreasing the DPW professional services line by the amount of $45,000 for a new line total of $71,148 and increasing the legal professional services line by $45,000 for a new line total amount of $80,000.

So I just want to amend something before we get a motion. The account number that it is from is 05010. And then the rest of the 5100000 is the same. It's 85010. This was my number. I don't have that new budget. Is that number was right? Was it bad? The math was right. The code was wrong. Okay.

With that, can I take a motion? So it's A-5-0-1-0. 1-0. 1-0. Then 5-1-6-1-2-3-4. Okay. So is there a motion?

Is there a second? Second. Second. Second. Second. Second. Any questions on this? Okay. Please.

Councilmember Piniello? Aye. Councilmember Lane? Aye. Councilmember McConville? Aye. Councilmember Carver? Aye. Councilmember Michaels?

Aye. Debt item number four. Authorize agreement with Bronze Contracting LLC for demolition services of the now house built at 41 Elm Street.

Resolved that the City of Coral County Council, hereby authorizes Mayor Steeve to execute an agreement with Bronze Contracting LLC for demolition services associated with the Roundhouse Mill located at 41 Elm Street and be further resolved that expenditures associated with this agreement shall be charged to account H3620-5400 from the Restore New York grant in an amount which, when combined with the associated project data monitoring contract for the Roundhouse Mill project, shall not exceed the grant amount of $242,000. The grant reimbursement associated with the Restore New York Award shall be deposited into the appropriate project account. It be further resolved that all work performed pursuant to this agreement shall comply with all applicable requirements of the New York State, of the Restore New York program and the New York State laws and regulations.

I'll move it.

Mr. Canale, Mr. Carpenter. So just a couple of clarifications here. So this is the demolition contractor. In the event that they fail to execute the contract within 15 days, it could roll to somebody else that should be the next one. $242,000 is the amount. There is a 10% match, which is borne by the property owner of the property. And anything over the $242,000 is borne by the property owner. Anything else is reimbursable to us. I'll make sure you understand that. That's clear. So there's a 10% match that is contracted to be paid by the owner. And then, and that will be made hold of the SCU.

So there's no cost impact to the city once the process is finalized.

Right. There will not be any impact to the city. There's no cost to the city other than we'll have an outlay and then we'll get it back. That makes sense, everybody, I think. Okay, so we have a motion and a second, right? Okay, go ahead, please.

Council Member Piniello.

Aye.

Council Member Lane. Aye. Council Member Kalman. Aye. Council Member Carpenter. Aye. Council Member Michaels.

Aye. Item number five, authorize agreement of A to Z, ground metal for project air monitoring, ground house metal demolition at 41 Elm Street.

The result of the city of Coraline County Council hereby authorizes Mayor Steve to execute an agreement with A to Z Environmental or Project Air Monitoring Services associated with the demolition of the Roundhouse Mill located at 41 Elm Street.

Be it further resolved that all work performed pursuant to this agreement shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Restore New York program and New York State laws and regulations.

I'll move it. Secretary, again, there's, you know, the Restore New York program is a great program. This is exactly what it's for. Lighted properties, get them cleaned up, have the finance there to do it. I mean, with the developer, I think it's tomorrow that we'll get developing that property after that. So we'll have some clean up and some good development of that property, which would be great if we have that ability to have clean up our city. But again, I appreciate Restore New York and the New York State Program Center put out there to help us with those. It's immensely helpful that This owner couldn't afford to do it because it's going to burn up every bit of that money. We'll walk away with maybe $30,000 out of his pocket. Beautiful property. So it'll be great. It's great for everybody. So everybody wins.

Okay, over please. Councilmember Piniello.

Thank you very much, Mr. Carpenter. And again, the canine donations have been immense and been great. And they just were cutting that check to send him to the canine on Friday, I think he had though. Yeah. And have you training or come back a week later. So we'll have the new canine atomic bomb. I can't say that. Maybe, yeah. And, and, and, and our next council meeting. So, if they can have a production, that'd be great. So, again, thanks for all these donations. So I'm very generous. Which shouldn't make for sure. Um, hold it, please.

I was a member of. Remember laying. I don't remember. I don't remember. Carpenter council member.

And agenda number 8, if there's any more specific, I think that. The, there's some more detailed piece of what we'd like to discuss. We've got to go on executive session. I have a motion for Mr. Conlon to go on executive session.

Can I get a second?

Mr. Carpenter, all in favor of going on executive session? Aye. We'll be back. But actually, it's simple.

There's all the city phone Council hereby authorize an increase in the number of authorized fire captain positions from 9 to 10 and be a further result. The Council hereby authorizes a decrease in the number of authorized firefighters exclusive of over higher positions from 2827 to be a further result that said increase in the number of fire captain positions will be increasing the number of firefighter positions shall sunset upon retirement of the above-referenced light-duty fire captain without further action by the council, and be it for the result that all staffing actions authorized herein shall be subject to available funding within the fire department in Count 831-3410-5100 for personal services and applicable civil service requirements.
