1:01 – 1:20Speaker 2

Well, there's nothing in red. I'm sorry. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Okay. I said, man, this is quick. Consideration and action on the courtly plan for expenditure for the period of January 1st, 2026 to September 30th, 2026. It's a Joel. All right.

1:27 – 2:45Speaker 3

If you highlight certain things in there, you could just turn one page to direct. OK, yeah, not a problem. All right, so we're going into the last fiscal quarter of the year, so a lot of our major capital expenditures have already been spent. But as you'll see from the report, a lot of them are our monthly expenses that we break down and pay monthly, some of those being the CID detective rides for PRO Act, the rental cars. Some of the monthly access that we pay for LexisNexis are accurate. The direct connect fiber line, that's another monthly expense. Going back through the quarter that we just completed, some of our capital projects or capital purchases that we were doing, we were purchasing or we planned to purchase five new patrol Tahos and outfit them, but we ended up choosing to go with three patrol Tahos and two admin Silverados to replace some admin Tahos. So by reducing the number of Tahos from five to three and going with the Silverados, we had a cost savings of approximately $62,000 that could stay with the fund. And also the cost of outfitting three Tahos versus five had a cost savings of $34,000. And that's all I got. Any questions?

2:52 – 3:46Speaker 2

Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Consideration of action of the presentation of the quarterly financial report for the fiscal year 2025-2026, quarter and quarter ending June 30th, 2026.

3:48 – 6:23Speaker 5

yes good evening so this is um as of june 30th so this is going to be april 1st to june 30th so we're looking backwards a little bit um keep in mind that quarter did just end um this meeting's pretty early um for us and so this is pretty preliminary these numbers could shift a little bit there were a few things we didn't quite have available like investment revenue and things like that for the quarter or for um for june that we're able to put in here um so next quarter you'll see some of these numbers true up a little bit But we'll start with our balance sheet, which is at the top. That first line, that is our cash balance in the bank, and that is 1.46 million as of June 30th. We ended the quarter with assets of 4.6 million and liabilities of 859,000, and then a fund balance of 3.6 million. And we'll go down to the statement of revenues and expenditures. You can see in quarter three, we received $643,000 in sales tax revenue, which represents collections received February, March, and April, because there is a timing delay when we receive those, so they're a little bit behind. In comparison, our last quarter three in 2025, we collected $657,000. So it's a little bit of a decline compared to last year, but not too terrible. It's about a 2.17% decrease compared to last year. So we're performing very similarly. On page two. You can see at the top there that this represents 73.34% of our annual budget. So we're right on target to actually exceed our budget this year, and our budget was $2 million, and we've collected $1.46 million so far. If we go back to the first page, just wrapping up revenue, you can see their year-to-date total that we have collected $3,646,000 in interest revenue. Again, this doesn't include June because we didn't have that information available when we produced the report, but you'll see that again next quarter. We did budget to receive $5,000 total in interest revenue, so we're pretty much right on target to get that, probably exceed that a little bit. And then going down to expenditures for the quarter, in total, we've expended $789,000. It's made up of salaries and benefits in the amount of $328,000, services in the amount of $31,000, supplies in the amount of $109,000, and repairs and maintenance in the amount of $6,000. Our capital expenditures was $314,000, which was the police units and the toffees that we purchased. With that, I'll conclude the report and answer any questions. Do you have any?

6:28 – 7:34Speaker 2

Questions? Do you need a motion to accept this? Yes, sir. I make a motion that we accept the presentation of the quarterly financial report for We have a motion to accept the action on the quarterly financial report for the fiscal year 2025-2026, third quarter ending June 30th, 2026. The motion was made by Ed Byrne. The second was made by Linda Jack. Any questions? Any discussion? Any discussion? Any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. CONSIDERATION OF ACTION APPROVING FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 DEAR PARK GROUND CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT SUBMISSION TO CITY COUNCIL.

7:36 – 9:32Speaker 4

Good evening, board. I'll take this one. So if you recall, the last time we met, we did have the budget preliminarily presented in front of you guys, and we had mentioned that there may be a few changes. The COLA might have changed, for example, or we might have received a more firm answer on our health insurance rates. SO WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO HAVE THE BUDGET BACK IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING. THERE ARE TWO CHANGES TO THE BUDGET, BUT THEY BOTH STEM FROM THE SAME REASON, AND THAT IS BECAUSE WE DID FINALLY GET A CONFIRMATION OF OUR INSURANCE RATES. IF YOU RECALL, WE JUST HAD A PLACEHOLDER IN THE BUDGET BEFORE OF A 5% INCREASE. We were actually hearing that industry average was about around 10%. We were just thinking with our own internal changes, we would be able to manage roughly 5%. And based on those changes, we've actually been able to reduce our overall costs WE HAVE TWO SEPARATE HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS AND ONE OF THOSE IS INCREASING BY JUST UNDER 2% AND THE OTHER ONE IS DECREASING BY JUST OVER 2%. SO THAT'S REALLY GREAT. AND THE RESULT OF THAT FOR THE DISTRICT IS THAT THERE'S $5,000 LESS NEEDED NOW FOR HEALTH INSURANCE COSTS AND BECAUSE OF THAT OUR PRIOR YEAR REVENUE HAS ALSO DECREASED BY THAT 5,000 AS WELL WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY FUND BALANCE THAT WAS NEEDING TO BE USED TO COVER THE DIFFERENCE THAT'S NO LONGER NECESSARY. SO OTHER THAN THAT THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THE BUDGET COMPARED TO WHAT YOU ALL SAW LAST. And hopefully everyone had time to look at this ahead of time before this evening's meeting. And if y'all have any specific questions about the budget, myself, our finance director, Nicole, Jay, Jamie, we're all here and are happy to answer any questions you may have. I'm sorry, not Jamie, Chief Grigg. I said fire earlier. This is crime's budget, yeah. Thank you all for just letting me do that, but yes, crime. Everything I said is still relevant except for the word fire. Let the record reflect.
