Council - workshop

I don't have a question. Well, it's not more so of a question. It's about moving forward. So should the voters of the state decide to move forward with the elimination of property taxes and an implementation plan is put in place? how would we go about with the implementing of the new budget that would basically include the cuts and the adjustments?

So the budget that my colleagues and I will vote on with the first and second hearing in September, that would be with the proposed cuts?

I thought the proposed cuts wasn't going to be, that wouldn't take place unless it was, I mean, unless it passed in November. That was the purpose of me saying how would that implementation look, what that implementation would look like. Do you get what I'm saying? So why are we voting on the cut of the budget if we don't necessarily know what's to come?

Okay, I'm fine with either or, but it wouldn't be implementing cuts because we have two prepared, but we basically have a tail of two budgets, so it wouldn't be implement. We know what we're looking forward and how we'd be moving forward, so it wouldn't be that, but I'm cool with either or. I just was curious as it relates to moving forward, why would we do that? But okay, thank you. Sure.

So I think that's important as well, that we can always do a budget amendment to bring back or to unfreeze the 81 positions and all of that. So I think although we're working towards being prepared should this happen in November based off the voter's decision, but I don't want to shy away from 81 cuts is an interruption to municipal services because although we're functioning now without them, but that doesn't mean one don't need it to effectively do their job. So that's what the reality hit in for me when I heard that and saw that. I was like, yeah, okay, this is actually really happening. So
