“Well, great. Thank you. Is $20,000 enough for the non-permanent improvements paving that might need to get done?”
“I'm just going to go start and let's do that.”
“It's tariffs because it comes from Egypt.”
“Yes. It comes from Egypt. It goes to Canada and Canada. That's the state bid. It's the state bid or county bid? So we're getting it from the state, but... The sweeper is going to be the same. And then... And that's a definite.”
“Is that something that you guys keep a pile of?”
“Okay. haven't gotten to those budget lines yet um so cold patch that's the that also has a petroleum product in it right yeah so that's why you have the increase because we're you're thinking that's gonna go uh up um is there also an increase in volume that you're thinking with that um”
“Yeah, no, it's not. This is from September. These numbers are from September. Okay. Any other questions about the maintenance of streets? Again, this is like, I guess you could categorize this as like when it's just our own crew and no paving vehicles or, you know, this is when they're outfilling goals. So skipping down to permanent improvements, this is where we put the paving for um that's we is reimbursable through chips so um i put 650 there and then 650 up at the top so if there's a different breakdown of work that's going to be covered or if there's anything else in the budget that's an…”
“Jessica and Jared might be able to better explain, but you have to have a schedule of the roads and nothing that's been done within 10 years. So you can't do something twice in 10 years and get it reimbursed twice. It's a one-time thing.”
“100%. up to your cap, but then you can also do vehicles, equipment. Colbert project. All the Colbert projects. So there's also, we call it CHIPS, but there's.”
“I also have a full report that goes back to like 2000, maybe like 19 something for every chips reimbursement. And it's broken down by those categories. So I can share that with everyone. Yeah, it's like goes back pretty far. It's kind of interesting to look at, too.”
“And this budget is based on projected expenditures based on what we're seeing. So this budget is most impacted by fuel prices and tariffs. So there are some pretty large increases. As you can see, I do have to find some of these lines that there is money. I have to throw it all into this code because of the fuel lines because we've spent them all.”
“It's the 5130.4. So that's all the shop supplies. So fuel is in there because it's in the shop, right? So this is where that exists. You won't see that in any other fine. So supplies and materials, I'm trying to keep it steady, even though it looks like we are spending more than that this year. Yeah, because we think we can.”
“Tools, those are the in-house tools. Do you guys have anything to add on any of the, if you guys have anything to add about what those are, if the board has any questions, just shout out, but we're just going to go line by line.”
“Okay. So we're projecting based on this year's fuel expenditures, increasing the budget to 140.”
“I'm starting that because I think we're going to have to increase it. I think it's going to need to be more like 150 or 160. But I think if we get the actual gallon, does this, but this includes what we're getting reimbursed for too.”
“That's the revenue, not the expenditure. So I guess that's something to keep in mind, too. So this gets the fire department, the rescue squads, they fill up. their vehicles and then we bill them so just something to keep in mind if we look at our gallon usage and do a projection where we increase then we can also we would want to make sure we're projecting the revenue changing for that amount of fuel”
“Yeah. And we should be able to do that with this system. So professional services is... Towing. Towing. What do we need?”
“They came off? They came off, yeah. That was last year.”
“I was the supervisor when that happened.”
“Okay. But I was the supervisor when that happened. Yeah. I pulled in and I was like, what's going on?”
“But we did project a decrease just based on the That's a couple years.”
“When we had to tow one of the trucks across the river, it was like $3,000 or $4,000. Yeah.”
“We need that money, Charlotte. I'm going to be taking like everything.”
“That's what's, that's what's giving us. So if you look, so one, we adopted the budget to the single decimal. So the thing that we need to be looking at is what percentage of the budget is used. So in this printout, we had 80%. So that's telling us that we basically are on track exactly with that budget code. So I'll be moving that part's money into like those, think of that part's money as being the fuel money.”
“Do you see what I'm saying though? It's that we need that to, money, we can't spend that money on anything if it's not going to be spent because it needs to go to the fuel. Okay, so parts is also, that was the one we were talking about, tires. Do we have those on a schedule yet?”
