City Commission - Regular Meeting

Mayor, you have the budget down too. You have to use Michigan's mayor. Thank you all again for your time. It's been a lot over the last 24 hours. We've got a couple days left to get you through the budget so that you have a good working idea of what we have in store for next year. And so following the general loan review from yesterday, today we met several general funders. A fair presentation, police, fire, and parks. And then we're going to take on enterprise funds today as well, that you're used to hearing from, public works. I've asked the golf course to present this year, so we can talk a little bit about the big things happening here at Jamby Lakes. a convention center performing arts. That will be an important presentation because we need to talk about getting ready to open the queue and what our operations and planning for that is going to look like. And that's who all will consider some additions to the budget. airport. A lot of things going on at the airport. Jeremy's going to have a very important presentation. And then, Meagher, I know you're always up for most going on at the Bridges, and so we'll put Juan on the spot and see if he brings us in. Good news though. I'm going to go ahead and kick it off. Let me do mention one thing before we move on. I handed out an agenda to you, and you'll see on there. We were planning for capital projects tomorrow that has been adjusted the mayor needs to make an appearance on our behalf in san antonio and so tomorrow's workshop Considering the capital plan I've alluded to several times, it's important to have the mayor here for that. So we have rescheduled tomorrow's presentation to next Wednesday at 4 o'clock. I don't think it will go two hours, but we'll schedule it for two hours. And then expect budget wrap-up on the 18th, and then the public hearing on September 14th, and option of budget and tax rate on September 28th. Due, again, before I start, I want to thank Sonia and Angie. We spent about four hours today preaching the numbers, having some conversations. I met with the mayor yesterday. And I think by the time we get through this budget process, we will have a budget that will take this community very, very far. So with that, if you have your books handy and want to follow along a little bit, we'll talk about some of the appropriations requested by the police department. And then if you don't have any questions, Gloria is here when we're going to the fire department. There were a lot of things going into the fire's budget. But for the Yeah, so for the police department highlights this year again, this is per the CDA. You'll see an adjustment of $868,000 to the baseline. That's pursuant to CDA. There's a 3% pay increase baked in for the CDA. Page 14, you'll see police there in a box about two-thirds of the way down. And then if you want additional detail, that's in your packet on your thumb drive. But if you have questions, just ask us and we'll help you drill down. Again, the CVA vacation and pay increases, those are baked into our collective RE agreement with the police department. I made significant adjustments to travel and training for the police department. There are a very excellent and hard-working group of individuals that proudly mention McAllen, the third safest city in the United States. And to accomplish that, there is significant amount of training. The police department will post a modest increase to their final budget. They exceed that on an annual basis. And so I wanted that number to be as accurate as possible. There are some additional computer software, electricity adjustments and fuel adjustments. Those are citywide adjustments. They apply to every department across just based on the cost of what utilities are for us. And then we've got an IT server upgrade at the police department that's starting at $30,000. Vehicle shortage. We won't need to take care of that this year, but that might come up in the future. And then, intersection cameras. I want to highlight, we did approve the 10 intersection cameras. I know that the flock system is always a topic of debate, or seems to be a topic of debate right now. We do not subscribe to that system. If there are questions about the system that it uses, happy to address that as a critical infrastructure item in the second session. For public awareness, this is not a block system. And then adjustments in the health insurance premium as a result of the cost of that benefit increasing. All in all, operations at the police department will continue. Police Chief is currently working on making an assessment of sidelines and what you can use. We can maintain her. We will likely come back to you with a new gear. We'll do an additional conversation on that. And he is already working on long gun upgrades for the police department. Did a fellow go to an emergency room for a function to do that next year? He did. We don't know a model, rate, or cost, so I can't put a number in, but as he gets through that process and we make those assessments, we'll come back to you with a conversation. Again, critical of the social conversation. We'll have an executive session for you over the next six months. Yes. I think so. Awesome. Thank you. Point seven. So we're in the last year of our contest. Oh, this is the day. Yes, sir. Are there cameras that can tell if there's all these people? No. No. So there are certain cameras that we maintain through the police department or IT. We have cameras that are around the city in various facilities that are not law enforcement related. On certain intercepts. I have certain intersections keeping that camera from the city system and internal to our servers. On state corridors, the state maintains their own server infrastructure and we have no control over those, are not maintained on our servers. That is a statewide system. So there are multiple systems out there. None of the systems operated by the city are for the city. These are requests for additional cameras. If you want to count on having cameras to be operators, aside from these, I can get you back to them. Some of them will be under the police department, but they're not additional requests for the number. But here, others are maintained by the guys waiting as they're in the corner, Robert. How many do we have, Robert, if you know? We have 18, but I don't know how many we have. And again, there's not flaw-free hearings, and it's not part of that system. We do not subscribe to that. So just to be very clear about that. I know it's safe, and everybody heard it, but I'll say it again. Any other questions about the news budget? It does include rifles. Actually, we're working on this year's budget. And as I mentioned before, we are assessing the appropriate sidearms for future adjustments to those. And I anticipate having that actually before we make it. And then there are programs and measures. Thank you. Any other questions for P.D. or Howard? I don't know how I said my name, but it's an introduction to the 5G phone board. And by the way, the main additions to his budget can be found in your book on the next page at line 336. And then Keith, if you would specifically address the plan uh we talked about a couple of days ago with respect to the app around the schools yes sir and so um here's a different opportunity um just in general uh when it comes to the overall budget request and and what has been approved for us uh it's a question that we have to review um the rules of the portal um because of that the third ordinance of the fire department And it aligns itself with the provisions that we have for growth and improvements on the surface that we provide. So operating budget does focus on the state's health care. We're talking about a broad range of tools, and we've been having a lot of conversations about the state of our state. Any group of depreciation schedules can take that nature. So we do have some laws through the prevention plan for how often and when and what varieties are seen first, what we're looking at, and we're looking at non-vegetable, vegetable, depreciation-based compounds to subsidize So right now we have a plan that has been announced by the CFO that will accomplish the goal of this. And we'll continue to improve that as soon as possible. So that's in the state law process. We're going to make the same changes back. And similarly, there are plans actually late for that, lengthy discussions over that. We're looking at how we're going to enforce those things. to help start having a growth in commercial staff, and that aligns with the needs of the department and the city. And let's pause there for a second, Chief, because those needs are going to come on us quickly. And if we bifurcate Station 4 from the fire department, we will need to staff up our new firehouse. And so coming up with a plan to do that in a way that needs of the city's ability to continue to maintain the quality of service and infrastructure that we provide our community, while at the same time being staffed and using the department with play on hand. So we'll work through that. And as part of looking at the capital needs of the department, the conversation we'll have next time about how to structure that. Hopefully, that gives us some general fund dollars we need through grants and general fund dollars. I was just asking for a minute on this one. I'm sorry, can you play it again? It is true. And so since we've been able to cover the additional basic items that we have, such as uprights and sets and stuff for the facility. And so as Isabel mentioned, we're now well on our way in the process of kind of getting funding for the relocation, and for and down the system, south of Indian County. And there is a line of other facilities into the short-term and long-term referral plan of this fund. And it's the same thing that we've been talking for. Again, we haven't talked at all about the facilities. We've talked at this. We've had a lot of discussions. And so right now, we didn't really reply to the lines yet. We've got it longer. And so, besides that, the top four items that I think are so useful for you is our vision for the future of providing an insurgency-free contract and for making some improvements to the amount of units that we now serve on the scene. Yeah, let's break that down a little bit. I know we've had some commissioners who are with us that weren't on the commission when we made the changes to that provider. And so we can better understand how a first line service is integrated into the emergency response services. Thanks for that. So has your fire chief overseen the execution of the contract that we have for EMS services within our city and so our city and we specifically can get all the data from them and also a lot of those have and so what we had in our previous years is that I mean staff in many ways we have looked at the hours of anything that's going on in the period of five times a year services are requested the most, which I find unique that we have it in seven units that walk right during peak hours, and it has, you know, the down to four units at night. That is when we got to about 730 hours for going through the levels. However, after about a year to three years of working with that contract and on a license later, we've been able to apply some barriers, specifically more of the main interior of a 24-hour cycle in which, you know, there, you know, we have the data to show the need for additional coverage there, that information that we do have to spend and we're going to be able to cover that gap. Now, we have to take into this, you know, we have a system of seven and five of these during the slower times. And so, with that, we'll be able to cover that gap that we have identified that requires additional history and coverage. Chief of the Bathroom Commission, what are those key values? So those things all are covered up as we start to come around, you know, 4 or 5 a.m. in the morning all the way down to the past work hours around, you know, 8, 9 o'clock at night is when things start rolling down. But the thing that brings us down to 4 a.m. is, obviously, we still have an unburdened future in the night. And, you know, there are many instances in which we don't absolutely benefit from ice that is not covered. And this isn't a community that we need to cover, so this is how we physically do it. to see if anybody's going to help us. Basically, we've covered that down to eight now. And I'm going to turn it over now to Ms. Albright. I want to sort of follow through. So what are you going to do? First, what are you going to do? I'm not sure if I'm going to hear this particular page, but there is a specific account that faces you. I don't know what it is. I don't know if you can read it here. It's not there. 3-9-1. 3-9-1. 3-9-1. Page 16. On that line there where you're seeing where there's medical services and that side. And there, if you see that box where we have the additional service for our emergency, there's a number in there. Please. I have a question on this one. What is the difference between this one and this one? What's the difference between this one and this one? I think that's important for the department. And after that, we've done this as a practice. And you can see that this is what my son is doing. And he's saying to the government, we're going to do a conversation. Yeah. And we don't hear much of this from the other departments. But it's amazing that we can hear. And it doesn't look like it's too loud. Correct. And the people that work on that truck work for the company that they're going to service. They're not employees. Yes, that's the cost of the truck for our contract. And the services they pay for that. Hold on a second. Let me start that again. The whole 24-hour period is 10 by 10, is that right? Is that my identity? I mean, those are the highlights. I don't know who that is. There's probably a little bit of a detail plan on apparatus, the stops that we talked about yesterday, or say, before, what you're buying with the Section 108 loan, and then what you're planning is to expedite or fix in the future. And so when it comes to the station lottery loan, as you know, that is the loan that we're applying for with the size of the project. facility, but also we would be eligible to purchase fire apparatus within. So for sure when we're in and we're able to subsidize the fire agent, we're able to engage radio and take as much as possible in the entire process, we may be able to require a fire agent on the ground. So for sure we're focusing on the use of the fire maintenance. And so that updates the process of building sports. And that's really, we don't have a specific timeline, but hopefully by around this time next year, we will have money on hand for what we get to see through for the apparatus. One of the biggest challenges that as far as service nationwide as a whole has been going through is the time frame that it takes to build an apparatus from the point that has been before. We're looking at our average of year-and-a-half to 29 years for our fire engines. We're looking at three, three-and-a-half, even four years for a lot of our parts of the rescue mission. And so, that is also something important that as we take dollars for the depreciation schedules, to be able to keep up with that. Because, you know, you see a war or a fire for a year and a lot of six, seven months. Now, it's a matter of years. And so, that has been a lot of work to get good We need to do folks to have, but we don't see that far in front of us until we have this variety. In previous years, we've had, we've had, we've played some other varieties in June, and we've been throwing these out of touch. And so now we have three different schedules, and, you know, they are basically lining in And so there's a number of different kinds of two-year to three-year periods. You know, we're facing right now is a different kind of new place. And we're facing four decent apparatus within a three-year period. And so that's part of the plan is we're going to see the world here. So I have to remind, you know, how can we start spreading out that cause? And how can we also share that cause with people? depreciation loss, but any other funding source, I can take them on very long right now. And so that's what we're working on. We're working on funding for operators that will be a cover for this fiscal year. And then, as I said, we want very long lines where the front lines will be a little lower. And the operators that we can face in the end, that's when we're at least a couple of different places on the year. And that gives us enough time to continue to run with this as we need. to any further schedule of the presentation. So here's a little bit of a cover of what he was telling me. The apparatus, the truck. I learned it in my book called The Apparatus. The apparatus costs about a million dollars. You can pretend you didn't hear me. Yeah. So the apparatus. that there's a significant investment. And so when you're looking at having to replace them in multiples, that is a very stressful event to the bottom. 108 gives us a nice mechanism at a reasonable price to use borrowed money to acquire one of those units. The kicker with 108 is the apparatus purchased has to be designated to the qualifying area. So I can't let the chief buy an apparatus for Station 4 and then send it out to Press Rockets. It has to be located there. What having the money built into OneAway will allow us to do, though, is free up some depreciation money that we have set aside to replace other units and accelerate our ability to use that money to buy a unit, which, depending on, again, schedules, delivery, etc., that truck wouldn't be tied to being housed in a particular area. We could temporarily station it at number four and then move it to, I think, the next one for replacement of station one. And so it just gives us a little bit more flexibility in bringing the trucks in, remembering, though, that $108 has the same $108 service. So basically, that's just the way it is. The one rate will be, we took care of that at the commission meeting ago. That money is budgeted now and will roll over. It will be in this budget to roll over from the current year's budget into the budget we're talking about. It's already out. We'll add those as we get closer to knowing that we're great staff. There will be a conversation a little bit similar. Well, there will be a little bit more lead time. It's a whole civil service scheme we have to comply with, and we will. But it will be a conversation similar to what we're going to have here in a few minutes. Do you have a memory? Do you have a memory? Do you have a memory? Do you have a memory? subject in research. Okay, let's talk about the phone department. Let me just get the listeners to the page you're going to hang on. If you're following along, tell me where you are. Thank you very much. Thank you. So I believe the work you guys have done is, you've actually helped these three kids before them. And you were very fortunate to have the team, as you never found, approving items that you were looking for next year's season. So that said, if there are any questions that you have, you can put them in the chat box. Are you going to walk through some of your plans for next year? I'm not sure if you're going to walk through it. I'm not sure if you're going to walk through it. I'm not sure if you're going to walk through it. I'm not sure if you're going to walk through it. I'm not sure if you're going to walk through it. I'm not sure if you're going to walk through it. And so, there's a lot of people with plastic surgery who sit at the vehicles and want to support and support their friends, and they like those vehicles, my vehicles and all that. What are you going to help you do, then? We're going to help mobilize us, and our vehicles are pretty old. We've had a 10 gallon gun in Asia in the past few years. It's quite close to where we are right now, so we're going to continue to get it coming in. And now it allows us to have our community to work individually and get together with the community. And so if you didn't look at our community, we have an organization group in South New Jersey with the citizens group, the United States, Central, East Park, KC, and Park. We have played with New York all through the last seven years, and so those who So, again, for me, it was, you know, it was a strategic message, and that's what you can tell if you need to do that. I'll give this to you while we oversee, you know, the inquiry through, you know, who starts, who spaces, who trails. That's what we're going to do. So, we've already done that. That's what we're going to do. So, we're going to do that. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Are you asking for a vehicle shortage? Yeah, that's what I was wondering. What do you mean? I mean, where were you, like, the other one was not a vehicle shortage, I mean. But the other one, the vehicle shortage, what, like, what do you mean? I was going to say, what do you mean? It's a vehicle shortage. It's a vehicle shortage. It's a vehicle shortage. It's a vehicle shortage. It's a vehicle shortage. It's a vehicle shortage. It's a vehicle shortage. It's a vehicle shortage. It's a vehicle shortage. It's a vehicle shortage. Uh, I think, well, I think, uh, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, So you didn't have one set up with all the rules and rules and sound and everything good. What was one thing about it? It was pretty good. It was pretty good. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I was going to say, I guess it's the other side. You said that you're correct. You're saying you didn't need to control it at all. So we just had this piece that you didn't know that it was going to be. So it's really important. We did a study. It's scheduled. We didn't have a start going on until the end of August. Thank you. But it's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. There are no restaurants in the city. The same goal, same job, same career. There's no education for the student, and that's not the case. We will also have some personal customers. This is why we have this kind of operation, and that's what we do. So, customers, we have a lot of customers. Now that you all have returned it back to you, it's a little out of control. Probably so. It's a problem. I'll give you some time to be careful. But we'll talk about that in a few minutes. Thank you. It's much better weather. Yes, it is. But it isn't that good. Did you have to change anything during that? No, it's not that simple. We'll have to be very patient. We're a possible partner in this. We've been doing this for a few years. And then, yes, we're going to have to partake in something. I didn't know how to do it in Texas, but what I learned especially up there was I grew up in New York, downtown New York, and in New York town. And so, a little bit of all this, but I was like, Yes, there was conversation with them about the establishment and additional, apart, even in addition to Archer, we looked at, for example, we looked at several steps that were part of the conversation with them and that will be part of the future conversation with the Commission on Agri-Food. Are the federal rules for the transition? That's what the Bible is, and we follow the faith, and we follow it every night, and every time that we don't. So then, in 2003, we have 3,000 more. That's everything. That's everything. We're only at 5,000. That's everything. You're not seeing the pictures of Commissioner Pettigrew and what they're doing? I don't know. I wonder about that. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. We didn't get a letter yet. You know, there's a lot of times that people will be trying to defeat them. I think they'll be in a war, you know, because that's part of the idea. I think you know what I mean. I'll tell you all of a sudden. You know, there's a lot of times that people will be trying to defeat them. Something you need to read right now. I mean, I hear a phrase this year, it's been placed centrally down. Ruth. Ruth. And then, you know, there's one thing that's all about, you know, trying to get out of your head, but you can't do that. You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't do that. I don't want to say too much right now. Why should we call it inefficient? So, yeah, so, I mean, in terms of what we're also doing, we're going to have a bigger regional park, go to Virginia. There's a lot of green space out there, so the teams can get into the plants and work in the regional park. So, that way, this is just a little golden point. I don't want to be a part of a family that's going to be forced out of this world. Yeah, there are a few figures that are very, very important. So, Jeremy, I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to tell you about people who are... I don't know if you've asked me before, but I'm going to ask you a question. I don't know if you've asked me before, but I'm going to ask you a question. I don't know if you've asked me before, but I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. How long does it take to get to the pump? How long does it take to get to the pump? How long does it take to get to the pump? How long does it take to get to the pump? How long does it take to get to the pump? How long does it take to get to the pump?

We're off for $200 million in public works assets. And the funds are the General Fund, United Nations Fund, I'm sorry, combined annual operating budget for the Public Works is $6,500. So the support fund is the General Fund, United Nations Fund, United Nations Education Fund, and Public Works Fund. I kind of think I'm somebody who remains strong or is a little over the top of what's working for me so far. Okay, that's 200 for what's working for me. Robert, hang on one second. You're talking about sanitation, so I want to read the records. The submission page 57. I'm kind of impressed. Just for those of you who are trying to follow along. I'm sorry about that. Our Medicaid funding are very strong. We have a fourth working capital of $14.8 million, which is equivalent to $204 working aid. Public works are starting to learn all around the United Kingdom to support the vaccine standard upgrade. That should be completed. It should be completed as far as we can. On a general point of sight for our training and safety department, the city and I recommend approvals to that agreement. The state will start operations, which includes a new radio control morgue, a new morgue with shutters on the right of way, and also a new safety wall radio tower. I hope you have these guys ready for them. Mayor and ministers, if you look at the decision recap on page 58, There were some additional items, the 5-H. I want to walk through a little bit of that with you. Remembrance Medication is a revenue center, but we're under enterprise, so this is not general fund dollars, but fund balance to the department being added for these resources. As for speaking with Robert and Elvita and reviewing the opportunities that we have to increase the service that Robert provides out there, we believe that it's appropriate to include in this new budget the request for the 175 dumpsters and the 500 dumpster floors in addition to the four mobile radiators and the 2,250 dumpster lifts. Along the same lines, sludge containers, roll-off containers, and mobile radios will support those operations as well. We believe with new accounts decreasing and the need for replacement bins for 3,200 96-gallon recycling bins, in addition to him having sufficient resources to remodel the conference room on the second floor of the Public Works facility. And I'll let you talk a little bit about what you're planning on doing with that space. But that will also include some HVAC controls and facility cameras within Public Works. Well, at the top of our company model project, these assets that you're going to employ for these . I'm on page 100 of the care price funds. I'm looking at the . Yes. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. To increase my recommendation by $400,000. Yes, sir. The floors, yeah. The 500 floors and 2300 rooms. Talk about what you're going to do with those assets and the remodel on the second floor, please. OK, the assets and the remodel. We also have a variety of high-end dumpsters, floors, and lifts to assist with that. We also have been seeing an increase in amounts of about 156 for about four years, year-to-date, and also over-retired new companies as well. As far as the groupings, that's part of the residential program where we provide those other things for the residents. This year, we went through the $3,200 already. We did purchase it. We've been out already. Purchased some inventory, sorry. NSL sustained our second program, and our senior account was paid about $1,000 a year for the rest of the contracts. Some multi-families also, depending on how they work through, they use Refinetator for moving or . The roll-offs, there's a four-year nationality plan as well that we're working on to try to expand the role of the primary, as it's previously done as well, how to roll off for industrial and how to increase production. The second floor remodeling, that's the second floor of the green building, the building behind that, that's the only real estate that we don't have. It's a storage building, storage area. As you have probably seen, we built a storage building on the right side of the building, and we want to remodel that area into a conference room and more office areas. We want to have a conference house. We want to have a conference house. We've been here to go out for a beer. We're over $125. So we just want to work with 182 Geary on the season time to try to go out for a beer and hopefully get something out of the way. I'll see you in town. I'll see you in town. So our black bins are a commodity receipt for the containers. We use our residential department accounts to take those containers. So our residential department has a downtown crew that drills in downtown to take them. So the containers to replace them with what we describe as containers of downtown, we have at least $130,000 worth for these containers of downtown. So we have these accounts and these other containers for downtown. No, these are the ones that are along the sidewalk. So these are the ones that produce these. And again, the dumpsters in Miami, those do fall under commercial. And those are the ones, or do my research, there's hundreds of high-eat dumpsters. Those are paid out of that. That's how we do it. Does that make sense? All the stuff in my head, I didn't know that. And I'm glad. I'm glad I was able to do it. But it was already a very hard time for me. And I think it's kind of the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I get that number quite quickly. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. And we were sort of on the roll up, right? We were having sort of a roll up. And that's where we were fixing the amount we were fixing to help us maintain Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much We're in the middle of a new season. We're in the middle of a new season. We're in the middle of a new season. We're in the middle of a new season. We're in the middle of a new season. We're in the middle of a new season. assessment and the growth that we've seen in our area, the support and the vision that our city has bestowed upon us. And we're super excited. Next year is trending to be the same way. Everything that we wanted to get to be able to continue on that successful path has been granted in the budget. You know, now we just got to deliver, but I have no doubt that we're going to continue to deliver. Super, super excited about the project and the plans that we have for the new golf course. We are very, very close to having a good set of construction documents that we're going to be able to present to you. And I really think that's just going to be an amazing complement to what we're doing right now with the current golf course. Our budget basically stays the same. A few tweaks here and there, for example, credit card fees. Sales have gone up, so it's an increase. Credit card fees have increased as well. Just simple things like that. But overall, I think the financial position of the golf course is very strong, and there's no reason why we cannot sustain it from this point moving forward. I don't want to give you too many of the numbers unless you would like to. I'd entertain any questions that people may have. And you have to be flexible. Okay. Okay. So that's it. So that's it. Okay. We're trying to. Yeah. So we need to do that. We need to do that. Yes, sir. As soon as the construction documents for the golf course are done, we're going to be able to have a really good grip on that. Yes, sir. Exactly. Exactly. God, we should have within the next, I'm going to say two to four weeks. Yes, it's moving, it's moving quick. My hero right here. Eduardo and his team have been very, very helpful to us and things are progressing at a very fast pace. I'm sorry? The interest? Yeah, it's in our first fund, so if he's got resources that aren't eligible to be spent in the near term, the money that's owed at Tech School, they're returning about 4% right now, so that's the most of it. That's the majority of his muscles. And will you also be able to go out and run around with him? Yeah, so we're in first base. We're likely not going to go out and run around. We will have that as well. We're talking about a... Sorry. I'm sorry, I didn't get your question. I thought that was for me. Yeah, so we are considering doing a two-story building with a full-service restaurant on the second floor overseeing the golf course. The closest bridge to the clubhouse, the two closest bridges to the clubhouse are going to be 9 and 18. The 8th floor, I'm sorry, is going to have a lake that's going to be visible from the clubhouse. water features that you can see at night so that the people sitting in that restaurant are able to see it. So it's still in the works. We're working with city management and engineering on exactly what it is that we want on the site, but the plan is to make it more deep, so storage, office space, meeting rooms, and I'll tell you something about the origin of the project. Yeah, so we want to make sure that the project moves. We know that we have connectivity across the street from this facility, so we want to get going on construction of the golf course. We want the actual course operational as soon as possible. If we have to work From a temporary facility there, in terms of green views, part rental, things like that, we can do that. We will continue to design the facility that Carlos is setting, but we don't want to hold out operation of the actual course because designing the building will take a little bit longer for us. So, the crew from Mexico is working very, very fast on the actual golf course design. We'll get that open and then flow right into Phase 2 before we do construction of the clubhouse. But we have very accessible connectivity from this building. It's a few hundred feet from here. There's already a tunnel under where we're at, where we'll be staying. Is it this building or something where we'll be staying? I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Well, if the Commission really has an appetite for that, what I would recommend is as we get through the capital project presentation next Wednesday and talk about our debt capacity, we will be able to plug projects into that program as the Commission deems appropriate. We should consider that as kind of a long-term project, and then think about what we're building across the street, what we have here, and how those two facilities would complement each other. So I think that is an appropriate question. I think it should be part of a larger conversation so that we know where those capital dollars will be going. Commissioner, if you're going to answer your question, we're looking at total new accounts somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,200 to 1,300, with nearly 1,000 of those being registered. A handful of industrial accounts, you can pinpoint what those are, several hundred commercial accounts, and then right around 1,900, I'm guessing, is what we're asking. It's not just with the trains, it's simply just other doors, but it keeps up with the old cable malls, but it's just, you know, it's not just that old. That's a very important comment. I'm glad you made it. And Robert's department is an example of exactly what we were talking about when there was a request made for new positions. The challenge to the department was, are new positions going to make the people I have more efficient? Robert took the challenge, invested in some software, is looking at rerouting some of his schedules to accommodate both the growth and the current needs with very reasonable increases to his operations there. So, very good job on that, and to all of you and Robert. I know that they've scratched their heads for a while on that one, but they got it done, and we appreciate that. Yeah, it's put me back to it as well. You know, even if you didn't get this, you know, this template that you're using, I think that is, that you, if this is going to be hard, I mean, that's the whole point of this program. You know, you can make sure that it goes well forward, and that it's, you know, it's just sort of, you know, it's kind of, you know, anybody's, it doesn't, most of them, it's just. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I don't know. Well, of course, there are prices and everything. Absolutely. I don't know. What do you mean by that? Well, I think it's hard to explain. It's hard to explain. It's hard to explain. It's true, I've been to the West Coast. I've been to the West Coast. I've been to the West Coast. I've been to the West Coast. I've been to the West Coast. I've been to the West Coast. No, but we're really, really excited about all the discussions we're having with the design team and a lot of those teams and all the ideas that are coming together. We should be agreeing to do so at one of the workshops. Yes, sir. Well, for golf, I'm sorry. Hold on, hold on. OK, convention facilities is a fun yard. If we have fun, then we have entertainment. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. He was a friend in the Union Center for Liberal Arts. He explored the Union Center's two major financial models, investment and gender, and its alerts and coverage of their enterprise accounts, not only that, but he made his own sort of newsology coverage, supported by internal funding. He continued to maintain the network under one portfolio of public assets. supporting tourism and health and education, the arts, and the arts as a community, and the sports quality of life. The arts offerings for this year also have two more topics that we have narrowed. These other topics are fundraising boards for increasing traffic on these social arts fundraisers, and federal and state school visits. As I said, I'm totally kidding. Fundraising boards that we have planned for some of our new colleges. We then, over five years and a half a year, as you know, have the state conventions on ratios. waiting to have a major milestone and the importance of our governance. It is important to know that one of the things that really speaks to our power as a community is that more than 30% of our communities travel 15 miles a month to our offices. So that means that they save more than 20 million dollars a month, and we're bringing money from outside of that. So the only thing we do is we refer them to each building and we see them coming from all the different states and different parts of the country. Is it a special project this year? It's a special project, yes. We have, on average, eight million dollars of annual regulation tax. Two million dollars in Sierra Leone areas. And over the past several years, we've also been very deliberate in saving our people from this. And now we've committed to sort of 30% of what we have in those 10, 12, 15, 16, or 20 years. And that is 80% of the 60% of what they need. So those are going to be passed by 10, 11, 12, 14 years. For 18 months, our poverty rate has shifted out of 20 and 1 to 22,000. That means from our federal funds, we've now protected $47 billion. And we found that on expenses of 2.5 million, so we've had any over 13 months. I think we have also had the need to differentiate from the person to the person. The definition of a city by that term is a very potent and a thing which is very important to ensure that the events that are happening are bringing sense of community to these facilities. We would like to take care of that. And what that means is that our facilities are aging. We have new buildings, new buildings, and new conditions are there. And we want to make the work material in a novel way, and I think it's quite important in order to accept these incentives. And that means investing in some of the regions, and that's where we want to keep these other programs, and that's where we want to keep these buildings safe in the office. And that's just, you know, the emergency. It represents that solution, and it's more inclusive, and it needs to be understood of what the state has built, which is the mindset and willingness. And that is what facilitation is. That's what it's about. What? So, for me, too, I remember, you know, you have to be more inclusive. You have to be more inclusive. You have to be a leader. You have to be a leader. It's a paradox in the connection of conversation and dialogue. Funny to you, there is one or two matters that I'd like to discuss with the city commission and the executive commission. Outside and without, I think now would be the appropriate time, sir, to consider that. I'll defer to your purpose. But if anybody has questions for you, I have an operation generally at the Convention Center. Convention Center, Performing Arts Center. Keep them up to learn. And we'll talk about the future. Thank you. I mean, this is not personal. This is really all under domestic. Yes. Do you have any confessions that you would ever share? Not confessions, but that you, if you're taking it for granted, perhaps it's not that you're necessarily following politics or something like that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And for example, we have a convention center that the IRC itself is not interested. So I think it's still a big thing that we should predict. I think that's what's coming to our college program. Thank you. Thank you, David. As always, I'm going to turn it over to Washington. I'll talk to you later. No, I'm kidding. So we have a special time for you today. It's so long. I'm going to turn it over to you. And then, very recently, you talked about running a company from here to here and there. Yes. And I thought that was a very nice thought. And then I was like, if I stay here, I'm going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. You're going to have to come back. Sorry about the staffing change that you and I just talked about. No. And what we were talking about yesterday with respect to the interior buildings. And I know we've also talked about some interior upgrades. So let's talk about all that one more time. Absolutely. We've had several conversations from the Co-Chair at all of our conventions, and we're still working on the same thing. And what we're proposing to do is to have one person the assistant director overseeing those decisions. One thing that's happened with events in the industry is that these growths and these feedbacks come from a lot of events and how these efforts work in that. What we do is we've done this in the past. We've done this in the past. We've done this in the past. We've done this in the past. We've done this in the past. We've done this in the past. We've done this in the past. We've done this in the past. This person would be responsible for overseeing the facilities across the floor, as if he was not a person, but he's actually a member of the organization, so he's not a person. So, of course, typically, that's an attempt to make sure that we can maintain that situation so that we can continue to do that. So, continue to do that, is that what you're saying? Yes, sir. So, I don't know if that's exactly what you're saying. Mayor, like I mentioned, there's one matter related to the Center for Urban Ecology, but that would require a conversation with state and federal agencies. So we could maybe talk to you a little bit about that. OK. Mayor, thank you. Based on the conversation we had in the record session, I would recommend and consider commissions, consider making adjustments to the budget. We'll bring it back to you in the wrap-up. But including revenue for the Center for Urban Ecology Department of $1.255 million appropriations. parks in the green, $900,000, and the food in the addition six additional employees there. I'm sorry, five additional employees. We include the county supervisor in the income on budget, but adding the nature interpreter, we've been treated to some irrigation tests, so we really need to make sure that we are prepared. It's an open center for urban ecology in the coming four months. Thank you. If the Commission has any additional questions, we can try to open ourselves up if you have any questions. Okay. Mayor, Commissioners, thank you for bearing with us. We really tried to get down on the number of meetings you had this time this year. We've got two departments left, the airport and the toll bridges. So, Mayor, if it's okay, we'd like to continue with those, especially the airport funds. I want to thank you all for coming out to work for us. It's great to see all of you. Mark is here all the time. I wanted to call back a couple of years. We've been over a million passports for 18, 15 years in a row. We've been 24 and 25 in this year. We're on pace to hit a million again. Only, of course, we're over a million passports in the last couple of years. So, thank you. But with that, you know, we had a kind of a rollercoaster year. Just this one year, we started off with a DOP order, and we're on our way to a year-end, and we just noticed that many people understood some of the circumstances, which was about 5% of our market. That still has not been reinstated, so we can see the follow-down and see how the DOP interface interacts with a lot of people working in that system. In addition to that, the refuges currently in service, they actually look older than they did before June. As you know, we had a day that was very, very seasonal, and it did really well. How much time were you hired from that airport? There were upwards of about $50,000 of cost for the refuges. So that led to a legionnaire. And in addition to that, the fuel cost was a big deal. Once we received the award, we were hustling up. We received a very high sum to race fairs, to race body skis, to even go back first, and we've been seeding the market. We were, or we are now, about to make it 30% of the seed year-over-year. But then we see here Trump in Germany. And we have successors through nostalgia and outreach because of the fact that America is sitting in and invested in a game ground for another American military, the Federal Western Community. And they have their confidence in funding because of the stability of the Air Force and the way we run our finances at the Air Force. And so they, our loan staff, was pretty successful the first month. So it's up to 90% of practitioners. So that drive has been a real big. And, you know, we also launched once a day. So some ups and some downs. Right. And if you can return that because it affects, you know, our other activities, we're trying to have some airport fun. We're still operating for it. Right now, we are about 8% down electric year-over-year. So in 2025-2026, that's the year we started out, we're going to go down into about 6.2 million. The actual operating revenues are about 97% increased by the year 2017. Actually, for some of my states and some of the state authorities, it's not obvious, but it is part of the reason I'm explaining that. As you know, estimated revenues are usually just a year's volume, right? It's 1.5% increased over a year prior to. We have a lot of licenses, a lot more revenue. to be based on the report. There are a number of revenues, which will come here in a few seconds. In the United States, there's an increase of about 10% from 0.4% to close to 0.49%. There are a number of movies that we did that are very close. There's a very good movie called Safe at the Orange. There's a good movie called Swamp Feet. There's a Super Bowl. There are a number of movies. I'm not in the know for revenue until we see a new research on price-pricing proceeding. We're in the far-reaching to the box-pricing position, so there's no loss of point-and-point or middle. I have some big rights there. You can see on the side of the screen, there's some new rentals already. That's a tough question. I'm looking forward to next year's budget request. We're going to be having a small, long-sending brief. We expect to have some press releases. Again, the FBO is set already and working with that, and often being pre-printed. So, every year, we'll set up a little bit of project information, at least. And, in case you already knew, this is an original date for the brief as well. As a new product, we'll take out some of these and set them up. So, we'll see how well it's set as well. On the expenditures part, we're down about 8.9% this year's date, so it's been very favorable with our money and with our funds and expenditures, we've had to keep that up. We're at the 50 mil, 54 rates, a four-year level, so. And so, we have not very many requests, opinions. We offer some water species and other similar operating parts and use water ranks. And of course, we have a business. Other than that, I've got a number of other big reports that are in this one year's budget. Okay, one of the last prepared presentations we did for you today was an update on the changes to the international bridges. Those are found in your packages, between these pages 81 and 84. Next, we want to go to the next page. And now I'm going to ask you for a few minutes to respond to this question. Please stand and let me know if you have any questions. And I'd like to thank all of you for being here today. Thank you very much. Thank you. You know, it's just, you know, three or four years ago, I mean, that's, you know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It will be some time before next week. Every day there's obligations and there's thousands and there seems to be regulations. But this year, it just needs to be done. On your current amortization, Here's a little game. What's the time of day here? So I think that's a good answer. I think that's a good answer. I think that's a good answer. I think that's a good answer. I think that's a good answer. I think that's a good answer. I think that's a good answer. I think that's a good answer. I think that's a good answer. to make this work. And I think this is one of the things that I've been trying to do as much as I can, is I've been trying to make this work. And I think this is one of the things that I've been trying to do as much as I can, is I've been trying to make this work. And I think this is one of the things that I've been trying to do as much as I can, I don't know if you can see that, but on the other side, there's a little bit of a change there. It's a little bit of a change, but it's a little bit of a change, but it's a little bit of a change, but it's a little bit of a change, but it's a little bit of a change, We have a little bit of prepared presentation that we have for you this evening. Our objective was to give you the highlights from the large departments that really encompass a large part of the budget. If there are any other departments that you'd like to have discussions on, or departments that you'd like to have discussions on, we're prepared to address those this evening. The plan for Wednesday, as you know, will be to discuss capital projects for development and corporation. agencies, and as I've mentioned now probably more times than you want me to, a long-term presentation on New York's capital funding. So, yeah, that is still to come, but if there are any other general planning departments or enterprise departments that you have specific questions on, we're happy to address those for you. You know what I mean? You know what I mean?
