installed in July. And just a reminder, that the council should accept the previous ones regulations and budget resolution. Good. So, based on instructions and council priorities, which took place not only in January, but also practically at each point the touch we had with them from the moment budget development, this specification specifically corresponds eight out of nine our solvable problems in our strategic plan. Okay, here are ours. budget assumptions or, um, basic movements earning power, which taking place in budget. And therefore in July on Trim board reduced the total operating mileage and increased mileage rate fire and rescue MSTU services on similar amounts. Hmm, and the purpose of this was to absorb the costs, related to expenses on the rescue component of services that provided by the fire department. There are no changes in MSTU roads, MSTU parks, assessments stormwater or tariffs on solids waste. And then ours water tariffs and wastewater are increasing according to approved tariff research. Okay, so now we let's talk about another one side of the equation. So, budget pressure- these are the big movements that affect cost side our budget equation. So, first the issue is reform property tax. AND although it may not to influence specifically on our budget for 2027 financial year, if it will be accepted, this will affect 2028 financial year. So a little later we let's talk about recommendation administrator district regarding resolution of the issue budget growth for 2027 with taking this into account unknown

4:15

of the future. So let's see to solve our structural imbalance in general fund. This is where we are many. years worked with the board and staff, to have regular expenses that equal to ours regular income, and find what we we call structural balance so that we don't overexerted themselves. The next point is personnel and costs to the public safety. So think about implementation prison expansion, increase pension provision for state order, etc. The next point is salary and benefits. So, this one the budget provides average increase salary by 3% for all staff. And then, when we we consider the general inflation and requirements for growth operational and capital budgets, during many years of influence inflation on costs, related to provision infrastructure, felt the most our departments. So, support public facilities. So here, as in case with ours road infrastructure, you want to make sure what are you investing in your RNR before serious problems will arise failures, because then they will cost we have much more money. So, if you spend some time for investing in the previous part this RNR, it will help prevent this bigger, more expensive failures later. We considering possibility of discovery that we already opened, libraries Wesle Chapel, and then we fully we will finance everything

5:39

our libraries, like only Hudson will complete reconstruction. That you see. And then Pasadena Hills nature village and bicycle park, the first stage, and then Medicaid rates. So every year we receive our Medicaid rates from state for final budget. You will see that this will decrease slightly. We didn't make it on time change these numbers for previous. So we let's do this for final adoption. Good. So, now our general previous we share the budget into four main categories. So our budgets in general increased by 6.5% compared to 26 financial year, accepted. But if you just look to the operating room category, that is funding that supports our daily operations, it has increased only 2.8%, which, um, corresponds to inflation. And then we take this table and we turn it into pie chart for those of us who are a little more perceptive the situation visually, like me. And here you can to see what is preferable most of us budget–this operating component, and again yes, um, he increased by 2.8%, which corresponds to inflation. Now next the biggest piece There are reserves of pie. So let's give a little time discussing reserves and let's try help, um, formulate some restrictions on how these reserves can to be, um, used. Good. So let's start with a large piece our pie. Therefore, this is what we called it here enterprise. It our water supply and drainage, and also ours utilities from solid household waste. And that's why we we use these reserves from several

7:11

reasons. They support our activity during extraordinary situations. We accumulate a certain amount of funds for financing infrastructure. AND we also want to make sure that we we fulfill the conditions bond obligations to have strong ratings bonds. Next piece: Yes. Yes. If you understand that plan for using renewable energy–this is what we planned for years, saving money for preparation for construction. This is one of those big ones points that are there. Right. Yes. Right. Yes. So, this is, um, an example of how we we are trying save a little cash so we can partially involve cash fund. We we can, um, partially finance bonds, but this simply provides a certain, um, rate stabilization. And then the next one a piece of cake if we will continue to move behind clockwork arrow, right? Right. No, against clockwise . Counterclockwise arrows. I knew that I'm going to do it. Good. So, we we are going to move counterclockwise arrows, to a small piece pie. Here is ours debt service and our reserves capital projects . And this one looks quite small, and this is intentional because we really want highlight our capital funds for construction infrastructure when and where we need it. But sometimes we need to accumulate some cash so that we could provide cash flow of these projects. And therefore, any what reserves, what you

8:22

you see there, are intended for to accumulate enough funding so that we could actually implement the project. Now let's move on to light green part, which is called special income. Therefore, in general this is here for support our daily activities. And all these, um, all the funds , which are formed here, intended for very specific goals. So you can't use these reserves for financing of any what other type activities. And therefore some of the things that are here yes, these are ours municipal tax departments , our tourism fund, our stormwater fund , our transport trust fund, and this just some of them. AND this reserve finances these daily operations and cases where some expenses will turn out to be higher, than we could, um, to plan or to predict for this budget year. The next part is our common operating expenses. AND so these, um, reserves also support the sheriff, our others constitutional bodies, as well as our departments such as parks and libraries. And then, if you continue, ours internal service. So think about fleet and our self-insurance. So, our medical payments, our compensation employees, our risks are reserves, who support this activity. And now to the last fragment, Foot Locker. Good. Good. So, in I have a whole slide, to explain Foot Locker, but this is a recommendation administrator the district on how plan for growth for the year when our financing in next year, um, may be less than

9:50

we expect this year. So, how are you? are you planning to grow in uncertain times? Good. So, Foot Locker, concept here is to in a certain way hold financing of certain budget items in reserve within these relevant funds, until we see, how will it be considered amendment number three in November. So One of two things will happen. . So correction no three will not be accepted, and then we will have point of agreement, who will place these points, um, which are behind categories, listed here, and in you all have yours detailed packages information about what constitutes each of these categories. So amendment number three is not will be accepted, we we will return and let's remove this financing from reserves and include it to budgets, so the team could start to work on planned points. And then, if not in November, if the Third Amendment will be accepted, then we will return to December with the usual point, and we let's go back before council and consider these points and what should be reviewed at this moment falls into the budget for the 27th year, which is possible , will be left in reserves and will help we have to plan next year. So I am a little bit now. I will consider each of these. categories. Therefore, The first is business. planned initiatives. These are really points where we are considering expansion of our daily activities, related to responding to the growth we we observe in district. So think about it. about raising the level service thanks to the capacities. The next point is general capital fund. These are IT projects

11:17

and capital, where we we are trying to maintain proper cybersecurity, our service parks, service objects, etc. The next category is– this is discretionary external financing. And then you can see here our museums, the Premier Minister, United Way, human trafficking. Therefore , these are articles that the board at your discretion finances, not necessarily those that were obliged pay. Good, the next two categories a little more difficult to explain. What does it mean? multimodal TIF? That's a great question. So, we have multimodal tea, which is essentially targeted deduction from property tax from general fund, which goes to support transport. So recommendation administrator district is that to take elements 5- annual transport CIP and projects that compensated by this multimodal TIF, and keep them in reserve, until we see, what happens next, because this TIF is targeted deduction and a subset of taxes on property. Good. AND now this last one category, project in our five-year-old CIP must to answer both the next two criteria to be added to this list. We haven't yet. concluded a construction contract contract. AND operational expenses partially or will be completely to be financed by ad valorem account taxes. So this is the highest categories. AND again, you have detailed breakdown everything that is in the locker for the legs. Are there any question about this reason before we Shall we continue? Chairman of the Commission

12:48

Williams. Amy, this is a printer. Is it a mistake or an emo? museums are located on discretion and were not transferred to tourism fund? So, that was it. postponed, and I have another slide that will show you where it is provided for in tourist budget fund. It's just theirs. categorization. Therefore, this is a good clarification. So, what we have here counted, applies not only to general fund or ad valorum funds. It applies to everyone funds, especially if look at that one BPI section, this business plan, initiatives. Recommendation administrator district is that to refrain from of all the things that support growth, simply pause and to see what will happen in November, and then we we will be able to accept decision. Um, Mr. Start, I think this is where I belong. raised this issue at our meeting regarding parks. So, we told Keith that we are going to pick up his home, and we we keep money for maintenance for Keith, and I disagree with this. There is money in the budget. Not really. restrain. We just We are waiting to see if it will be has the amendment been adopted? Let's pull the trigger. and we'll find out on which We are equal. Well, it was 8 millions? How much are you? hold on here storage? That's 8 million. Yes, this...I don't agree with this. I agree. Yes, that's 8 million. dollars for capital maintenance . And again, this was made for in order to ensure consistency throughout organizations regarding tax funds ad value. This is obviously on discretion of the board directors. I would, You know, I can't. to speak for Keith, but we are talking about

14:19

six-week process . If the reform property tax will be accepted, then glad directors will be able to to decide whether highlight all 8 of these million dollars for that time, or if she will not be accepted, then they will be released in any in any case, and they will continue to fulfill a wish advice on this. Ahem, you know, again, that's 8 million dollars. I am doing that. exactly with our budget for the maintenance of facilities . Uh, yes, but they are not like that are far behind, as Cat. Our facilities, actually, significantly are lagging behind. Ahem, you ask any who, who recently stuck in the elevator. But, but, but, again, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, more complicated decision. But I felt that for software sequences in organizations to us had to take money for parks, and also money for objects, as well as, you know, even business initiatives plan. A lot of this growth can be even within our borders utility, that is, it visible growth, but it depends on What do you want there? to include, at discretion board of directors. I I'm just suggesting. pause until November, and then I think that Keith will still be able to spend overhaul, Commissioner. But again Okay, I...I'll take it. at the discretion of the council directors, and if in Do you have any specific ones? question for Keith regarding deadlines projects, uh, he's here, and he could perhaps This is to be discussed. Keep growing . What? Leave everything as is. AT, Yes. What do you want to hear? from Keith? I mean, this is, by the way essence, compensation, isn't that right? We hold it's there, and it's something

15:38

does, and this... I mean, budget. The cat will be uploaded to beginning of the year. I have on I mean, however, I have in mind mind you, if you know, I probably would have. It would be good if Keith had there were some critical important projects, then during the first six to eight weeks fiscal year he would need to fulfill them. But put all your critical things. I'll give the floor to Keith. Don't be shy. No, I don't. I will be ashamed. Cat Wai, the parks director, rest, natural resources. I I support recommendation administrator district to postpone six weeks. It smart, and, uh, this small team work. Okay, how about that? so that we can take half? Yes, he just... Do you know what color it is? ? This...this is assessment time. efficiency? What if we take away half? Half of it six weeks. Yes, but if this is accepted , you are not going give them money, and at least we will to bargain only for half. Why are you looking at me like that? Are you looking, Commissioner? If you allow me, I have meaning if tax reform on the property was accepted, I mean, we would have to to review, probably the entire budget for that moment. Park, our parks MSTU will take off. Parks included, fire . There would be a whole series things that we would have to to look at that moment. In any In this case, I am again, I'm just saying: where is Lisa? online? Yes, it is online. Yes, I just at least let's take half this money for withholding and giving them. Unless no one else thinks, what should we...

17:12

I think we should them to hold This is mine. Good. Until we find out about whether it will be the amendment was adopted, we can to decide on this in November. IN We have another one like this. So in What are we? One more thing. That's two. We have one more. hearing. Yes. So we can give we have time think. It's just like that. hit hard last time, and I I just hate that. he takes it upon himself main blow. This is coming. big event. If this I will succeed, I have meaning that we don't have enough money to to do all the work with public safety, which were to be made. This is 4 millions of dollars that immediately remained in underpaid in form. So, there will be some things that we need to consider, and maybe they will some things that we need to reduce, but I mean that this money is still there. It just gives administration and us chance to take down another movie if we let's decide to do it. I think the commissioner Weman is right. Think about it. We let's have another one briefing right before... Good. Good. But when I look, I see that these are projects and capital expenditures. So, these are projects and capital service objects, service parks, and, and, and, part of the parks is 8 millions of this. So he got most of the blow by general fund capital. Here's what I have. in mind. But keep in mind that he has not yet experienced impact. We just We are waiting to see what happens. , and we can solve continue anyway it. We will have such opportunity, but we

18:37

can we accept this decision. We don't need to take him now. The money is in budget, so we all we can still do it, if we wish. So, if the majority says: "Let's go with this." by. We have money, to make it happen." AND I mean, you you can always have them return. I am not I'm trying to argue with both parties to this question, but it's more orderly approach, and it's simple my recommendation. It much cleaner for budget team. Ahem , but if the council wants think about it and to have this conversation in the morning at 9:22, this will give it's time for us to make necessary adjustments, if the council so wishes . But I think that Mr. Wai Yu was right that within six weeks he still can perform activity related with the commissioner, if he needs collect requests proposals. I was in charge. staff. Yes, it takes from six to nine months, up to a year. IN in any case, we...No, we are moving in in another direction. I promise. Um, no, but we can...we we can start work on such things and make sure that this documentation designed for immediate start work. I don't know many departments which in October would spend at least 2% your budget, except that which concerns salary and salaries. Projects usually occupy a little time, usually in the first quarter. They are still a little are hesitant to start. Good. Well, I'm counting. voices, and I have them no. But I have action item to make sure that this will be the topic for discussion during daytime part board meeting on the same day when will be final

20:02

adoption. I said words. I hope this It made no sense. Good, next slide. Good. Good. Therefore, Now we will consider, uh, the income part chambers, and we will begin break it into some categories that, I hope they will have makes a little sense. Therefore, most of the income, which the district receives, have many rules about how we allowed them spend. Therefore, first part, income from property tax, as usually, there is the least restrictive, and best practice is that we first spent most limiting sources financing. So, in this purple one property tax in we have our common operating expenses, our fire department rescue services, our road MSTU, and then where do you see loans approved voters, these are ours general bonds obligations that approved by voters. So we predict that next year we have will be a little less than 13 million dollars debt payments. Next blue part is ours opening balance fund or reserves, which we already talked about talked. We are fine. delved into reserves. And now let's move on to this red part, service fees and evaluations. And I won't. to read everything to you, what is there, but I only I will touch on a few. Therefore, the costs of fleet and self-insurance. So, these are our medical payments, our compensation employees, our risk. And in general this category actually reimbursed from other departments, who pay the money on our insurance, fleet, etc. If you will go down to one line below, fees for mobility and influence. So this is, um, part of

21:26

financing our capital plan. Um, come on. let's see which ones stormwater assessments. This is cool. This is not, um, rainwater assessments, so these rates remain unchangeable. Um, fees for the consideration of the development. Hmm, so that makes up for it. some of our expenses planning. Good. So then in this other we have some interesting things like removal fee trees, road tolls FDOT, Protective Services animals are collected some income, and parks also have a little bit there . Good. So if we let's keep moving for pie, and I think, what am I moving towards now clockwork arrow to hold you in good shape. We are now in the green part. Other sources. So first largest source of other sources –this is our taxes from sale. So half a cent sales tax, guaranteed right to receiving help, such things. Um, internal meetings. Here we reimburse some expenses, related to auxiliary departments such as your budget team and similar things where we will be write off part our time to others funds for services that we provide. Next a penny for Pascoe interest. We are planning include 50 million dollars percent to budget and to distribute them to expenses such as fuel taxes, federal and government grants. Therefore , this is not all of ours grant portfolio. These are only periodic grants that we we expect to receive, to finance some of our regulars operations such as program public transport, our food elderly people etc. Good. Therefore, now we will move on from this big parts of our

23:02

income to tax component on property. So, now we are in purple part pie chart. AND there are a few things that affect how these the numbers will look like. So, on July 1st we received the final estimated cost from a property appraiser, and we saw growth of 6.8% over last year. AND the next factor, which will affect this, hmm, net increase income, is the rate mileage. So, how are you? remember, we reduced mileage general fund under pruning time. And then, if you go down, you will see where we are increased the fire department assistance for the same the very number of miles, and this was done for absorption of these rescue components. Then you see the distribution sheriff, who is 7.68 a million more than 26 accepted, ours change in payments our districts reconstruction of communities . Hmm, increasing our payments to TIFF, which again compensates for our program capital transport development, public transport and our public brigades works. And then we have, hmm, similar, but smaller distributions for our fire and rescue MSTU services, and then our department road reconstruction Moscow State University. So the reconstruction roads, all these extra money just returning to the program so that they could hold more roads. Good. So, taxes on property in general fondue is part of general fund, but now we will consider the full picture and how this is what it looks like from the point visibility 50,000 feet. Therefore, we have a primary fund balance is approximately 86 million. Then we we expect to receive 570 income, 556 expenses and final balance fund of 100 million.

24:40

So if you go over to the next part tables, you will see, where do we have realized structural balance in general fund, where our current expenses smaller than our current ones income. So now our final balances fund for approximately 25 million higher than could be because directive on the storage room where these things are, hmm, stored in reserves. Head commission B. What is ours? compensation for hurricanes for several years so from FEMA? IN I don't have this number. with me, but I can contact you later. I think that near this number has to be an asterisk, to show: "Okay, here it is "What is our payback?" And you, I know that we are not we know if we will get we funds and when, but I I think this is important. note that need to be done in Foot Locker categories, because, in my opinion, this is more accurate would reflect a broader picture of this account. Yes. And I, I, we we will get let's get these numbers back happy during next presentations. Sir Commissioner, I will say that we are probably about halfway, I think, but this concerns several funds. Solid Fund waste has undergone large losses due to that which most suffered from cleaning of solids waste, and they also received parts of the whole fund. So we let's try to explain This is a pleasure. Yes. And so for us it is was a moving target. I I think the term or just passed, or it is approaching quickly, to convey all our project estimates to FEMA. So I have to be very close to that to have something similar on a digit. Good. This is a long, very

26:34

a long process, and, you know, on Niko conferences, where we heard about 15 others districts, some people waited 12 years to get reimbursement. Yes. So regardless of of what it is, good at distinguishing numbers so we know, that it may never happen. I am considering it's like a line of credit, almost like a way say, "Hey, here's what we have it." I think that it's just good see, and we know, that we do not forget, because in this budget cycle and potentially next budget cycle, I I think it might be influence how others are accepted decision. And that's what I I think it's up to us. federal list, hmm, worth adding faster reimbursement . Yes. You know, there are districts in region, which had to take loans. They spent all their reserves, then they had to borrow money to continue to manage one's own around the district, and um, and they are paying now interest for this. Still waiting until will get their money back from FEMA. Director Fos is here no, but I'll tell you that there are programs with FEMA, related to previous registration of certain things and a number of others events. We are a member of I think up to 50%, and that's it yes we can get 50% immediately from beginning, that, definitely useful. I I think there are others. programs that reach 75. I'm not sure which obstacles to us need to go through to to get such status. So federal government makes certain efforts to recognize, that compensation is happening slow. But you seem to take out a loan

28:06

the line ahead, you know , in fact, if I say, that I only get 100 millions, okay, they will give you an advance ; but if it turns out, what was your number wrong, then you can you return money. So it works in both sides, but we we can get from additional tips explanations regarding these programs. Maybe ask district attorneys send a letter to District of Columbia with interest rate depending on what ours will be the amount of compensation. Thus, our taxpayers will be able to... we will ask the clerk give us... maybe it's theirs will motivate. Are you saying that we get interest on money, What are we waiting for? Send a note from the district prosecutor Goldstein . Give him another one, huh? -there are, combat mission here and let's see what he is will say. We are going say "no" and wait 12 years old. Right. I I mean, this is ours. local...this is ours local dollars, which our residents expect to return to our community and...and they will start work under the influence of natural disasters, you know. Yes, it emphasizes the importance of reserves, because you can to be a year in a row. I I mean, we have it was three years in a row , and we still get paid. I think, uh, that this was it? It was tropical storm " Debbie"? I think we finally received last payment for this maybe the past year. How old are you? that's why there was that storm? So, Oho. Some are coming. Yes. Good. So, now we we look more at cost side equation for general fund. So let's see what kind I will follow the path. Ahem,

29:31

let's start with public safety, which is about half. We're looking, um, sheriff's budget is about 200 millions of them. Corrective measures– a little less than 91 million. Ahem, public safety– other, that is management extraordinary situations, administration public safety, maintenance minors–all it is concentrated in these 10 million. Oh, for the sake of entertainment, let's go let's just go for it clockwork arrow. This will help. I should continue in in the correct order colors. Um, next in we have external services . This is the green part. So, here is our budget. to the parks. Amy, just a second, so... in the field of public safety take 400 million dollars. That's about 67% of the sheriff and 33% of correctional institutions and so on. Yes. Good. Thank you. Then in the field public services– these are services for people elderly and suspended sentence for misdemeanors. Then in you have libraries, and then in other services , such as services for veterans and cooperative expansion. Therefore, the red part is our others constitutional officials, minus the sheriff and our court officers partners. Um, then, if we continue grow, we have our government institutions. So, objects are about 28 millions. So, this is funding for maintenance of our objects, our administrative departments. It actually small reduction compared to with our 26 adopted in numbers. Um, these are like this things like management organizational efficiency, financial sector, budget, procurement, eh,

30:59

such things, human resource. Um, then in we have this, and then here, in another, there are things that actually not possible to attribute to none specific department. So, in we have payments, carried out on territory reconstruction communities. Um, we every year we pay for the annual audit. And then you have district budget prosecutor. And then we several times already discussed reserves earlier. Chairman, Commissioner V. Thank you, Amy. Therefore, uh, one of representatives public safety with the boss correctional institutions, I I think you guys You are doing great, so don't panic here . This is one road. operation, and costs grow almost from every month, right? Yes? I think that this importantly. I know that in our insurance there are contracts planned for amount of about 90 millions. So we we pay about 20 million per year to to provide for oneself here, at the local level. I I think we need look deeper " under the hood" and to offer to others suppliers medical services to see what we have options. Perhaps, they can to supplement certain parts of the medical service that provided to prisoners, at a lower price. And I I think we should really need look deeper " "under the hood" now, when construction projects almost completed, and the situation calmed down there, and start carefully consider our important points, in particular our insurance policy, and see what others There may be options. But, hmm, I don't I like the fact that that, since it is prison, we are confined, and there are only a few selected groups that

32:49

prone concentrate, hmm, in this space for your business. Hmm, I I hope that we we will be able to offer several creative business plans on how we can start to find out how to manage at least security costs health there. Sir Commissioner, I talked to some other districts with about this. Hmm, and you know, sometimes people deliberately are arrested to get our health insurance, and I think that we maybe they need no need to sit in prison. Maybe they need to be under house arrest with cause of leg injuries, stop, and then they will have their own insurance. You know, if it is a misdemeanor, if it's nothing serious, I think that this is complication. This is what what others are doing districts. So it's complicated. question. I can to assure you, Commissioner Weightman, Commissioner Starkey, that this is on the front plan. Hmm, you know, boss, Miss Cheshire, talks about everything, from medical service on place to even freelance suppliers. You, maybe you know that we tried to advance some local bills to to help with, you know, installation relevant costs for medical outside service outside the institution, and this only one component. Cost of medication extremely high, and also medical service on place, and this, softly so to speak, balancing. I mean, I don't I will talk a lot. in the affairs of the chief, but there is a lot that need to consider , especially when it is about release prisoners or

34:23

placement of people. Just know that your team insists on this, where possible. I know, that there are some very specific cases, which you talked about, where we succeeded to succeed, but this is huge cost component. We put before task team try to find creative solutions, and we just know that we continue on to work with this, therefore what is this big perennial a contract that costs a lot of money. Yes. Ahem , and I think that this multifaceted solution , which is probably will even require some federal changes, especially regarding payments to people who, honestly, there were none paid. Yes. But we we lose payments, but we are losing payments that would otherwise had them. That's right. depends on us, on our federal budget. Simply incredible It's annoying that ours, you know, wallets taxpayers are hostages insurance company. It's bad enough that we are hostages insurance in our everyday life, but it is to some extent under our control, and we can, you know, to have power negotiations. And, um, now that I think about it, It's time for third year, are we already in the third year, to take it under CONTROL? So, I think , the third year is good time to once again look carefully at this, especially when we let's move on to the next budget, you know, future ones budget cycles. Ahem, so just my thoughts on this occasion. No, I think so. critically important consider all aspects of this. Ahem, You know, Mike, we're already talked about earlier cancer treatment, extremely expensive, kidney dialysis, very dear. And again

35:59

Yes, all these things, when do I blame people yet? not proven. So, I I think the federal the government is hurting us the greatest harm, canceling treatment , isn't it? Abolition. Yes, exactly. for this we have to fight. But at the same time it would be okay, while we're at it we are engaged, try to look at what the most of them suffered from these treatment methods, and, maybe start talks directly from suppliers hospital services, to try reduce these numbers to ... We are doing it now. Yes, sir. Good. Until now I should contact to Bobby Kennedy, when he spoke last week. I am about I didn't think of that. Minister of Defense health, another exchange... I think, I think, I think regarding opinion heads, they get to district institution and join the security systems the health of the district, if they haven't before received this treatment, and discover that they have problem, being in correctional institution Pasco County, and then they are leaving, but not continue treatment. It's simple. spending money on bad, and that's just waste of money. And I know, that we can't to force people to receive treatment , or as they would have it did not receive it later; but if they are going receive if it is definitely, they get this level treatment, while are in any which district prison, for which payers pay taxes, then it should be mechanism that will allow them continue treatment after them

37:25

release. Such way, they don't returning to Commissioner's point of view Stark: "Oh, I need dialysis, or I need it, you know. , liver disease, and you keep the liquid, and in two weeks they find a way to rest so that they could return to institution and receive drainage". Hmm, that's simple unhealthy for them, but at the same time very unhealthy for payers' wallets taxes. So I don't I know what the solution is. but I intend to to figure this out, as you already know, to to try something find because we must. We must... I'm just listening to that. said Vman. What if they are under our care in prison, and then Will they leave? How long? will pass before this career in fact will it end? On the day their release Will this end? Question. I mean, I...I I think so. Chief expects a nod of the head. Yes. Yes. When they are more are not under under our care, they no longer... So it won't cost anything. we have more after their release. But what about? you say, trying continue this care? Well, people who are there, not have the means to continue this. Well, and release is also a problem. Some people can't postpone, so they stuck there. Others can. There is a release at your own discretion. There is a whole, there is a whole story , every situation individual and different, and it's very complicates development holistic policy. But we, of course, again, loyal this, because Listen, we want to see how money taxpayers are spent effectively and effectively, so that

39:07

to make sure that we we ensure that we need to to provide, and so further. As I said, we do not receive no help from insurance business, because these people are practically were left with nothing. So it all depends on taxpayers, and we also carry responsibility for ensuring a certain medical level service. And this, to put it mildly, difficult, but we we strive to find decision. The federals are a bit corrected it. The difference is that there is certain actions that the state can use if you suspended, I don't I remember what it was like. is called, but you or abolish Medicare, when you get there to prison, or Medicaid when you get to prison, or you you are pausing it. California, although I I would never want to repeat, California is Medicare suspension in state. Florida is abolition. Therefore, they did a small step and They said, "Okay, they can start the process resubmission applications for receipt medical benefits, first than they will be released." AND so that when they will be released in California, it all started to recover. IN Florida is long process to return they have Medicare benefits or Medicaid, if they already have receive them. So this is what we could talk about talk to our legislators, but actually all of this needs to be corrected in Washington. This is part of the Law on social provision of 1913. And maybe we can take a closer look maybe try also redirect costs. This is a slippery slope. It good way. They are not put us in this situation the situation that everyone taxpayers' money taxes

40:54

are only delayed because they are not want...federal the government does not want to cover someone who should be covered until it there will be no guilt proven. Yes. 100%. They violate own civil rights. They should...they shouldn't must... unconstitutional. Well, that's part of the Law. about social software. Good. OK. Speaking of state, now let's let's talk about ours state external financing. OK. So this list, um, is not a complete list things that, according to state, local government should do with from the point of view of providing services, but that's what, according to the state, local government should finance. Again, this amount Medicaid can change. She will be reduced by based on the new amount Medicaid, which appeared, and we will update it for final adoption. But you you will see that in others no changes in areas compared to 26. So I mean only this top one line. Yes. So, in view of budget figures that we have, if the third the amendment was accepted, it would be about 4 million dollars underfunding, and 10 millions of them only from this. Or 10. In fact, these 10 There aren't even millions. part of this, so what will you have to do to cover everything for public safety, and then not only to have four million underfunding for beginning, but also now you will find a way cover 11 more millions after this. Forget about parks, libraries, services for veterans, services for people elderly. Good, chairman of the commission

42:27

told you about budget time. Good. So, Bayar, that is point about Bayare, he mandatory. We must pay Bayare is simple. blank check on 1.2 million dollars. Indeed, any of these points, right? As far as I understand, there are no fines. Instead of to write a check for Bayare for 1.2 million, I think they need to provide receipts about reimbursement. And I I want to know what they are for. spend 1.2-2 millions of dollars annually, if they spend 750 dollars , right? If they spend only 750, I I don't want fake ones. funds. Next this week we probably have there will be two lobbyists Bayare and three CEOs who knock at door on this occasion . But if it is visible during the process, will they have to to provide, you know, compensation, these there will be money detained for them through the state legislation. They provide reimbursement. It is only as much as you want, and if it not enough. Me it would be interesting look. And the same applies to each of them, some of them me Some are concerned, some are not. But Bayare is private organization . And they tell us that we we have to write him a prescription a check for 1.2 million. I fundamentally not I agree with this. AND, as far as I understand, there is no penalty, if we don't do this we will do if we don't Let's give them money. Uh, you know, if private hospital company wants this, uh, I I think that's it. necessarily, according to state legislation. I understand, but we eat I'll give it to you, but I want to. see how they do it reimbursed. You have there are 67 districts that they give them a bunch every year

44:09

money, and we don't know what we get for it. Do they spend Is that all? These unfunded obligations have come out of -under control. And, uh, of course, we let's put this aside so to comply with the rules , but start submit receipts. I I think that each of them should start submit receipts and see if they use everything we owe give them. And we still we comply with the requirements, and there are no fines, if we don't do this we will do it. So, Commissioner, we completed this side job task approximately by 98%. It will be soon. in your mailbox boxes. So we will return to the previous year, which...But I... Wait. We let's go back to the previous year. No. So, Commissioner Weightman asked to provide very specific information regarding these state commitments, and we already almost finished it and ready to share this with him. The request was, to see, how many of us are obliged to pay. I mean, this is very accurate numbers, you know, so whether they are based on formulas? What is there? the basis for these payments? We don't have there were these answers in publicly available. AND then, I think, commissioner too asks, for example, Bayar, do they provide they are doing some service in exchange for these 1.2 million so that they actually paid it behind. So, Bayar would provide a service, and then I would serve invoice to reach 1.2 million, almost like a contract for non-exceeding, and then, if there will be money left over, which will remain in taxpayers. We are now this we are engaged. This will be sent to the council as only we will finish

45:40

it. I am not very well. Yes. I I mean, I don't I'll be surprised. I have on mind, I think we need to turn to this attention because they can very easily to show in your account that we in general, you know, 1.2 million. Hmm, I I hope they will be honest and transparent, but can be some unexpected savings, instead of of how we did annually, just like that what the state says. Hmm, you know, something will remain at the end of the year. I think this money going to Baker, because they are non-profit a hospital that should accept anyone, who is addressing urgent help. Yes. And we are going develop a basis for this. From the point of view budget, we just there is no answer to this near at hand. But I know if it is reimbursed, or we just give them check and say that this yours... Exactly Yes. This is an interesting question. Good. OK. So, you asked whether got financing support for museums to development fund tourism? And yes, sir, got it. Hmm, so, here is discretionary financing our council. These first three points are funded from the general fund, and then support museums are funded on forest development. And this one change of resolution, as I was told it has to be considered on council meeting 22 September, to officially to do it. Hmm, but again, recommendation administrator district to stay in reserve. I am for the record, head, I'll just say the same here as me did everyone budget cycle, and not having any NOS in

47:27

general budget fund established in annual budget. I am not I say that these people perform poorly your job, but this It's their business, and I don't I definitely think so. it's the taxpayers' business taxes to finance them for pleasure all our needs. AND, hmm, I just disagree. with funding not to receive profit from general fund.

48:01

Good. So, budgets our constitutional officials. Therefore, column for 2027 The fiscal year is what what is in the previous one budget. And then we are in the next two columns show you the difference in dollars and the percentage difference from the amounts received for 26th fiscal year. AND now here is the slide from above our five-year-old capital plan repairs, except general fund. In general, these are the same numbers which we presented to you on July seminar with major repairs . The only changes overall related to directive on footlock reserve. Therefore, just friendly a reminder that some points of the five-year plan plan, we are considering , hmm, fire stations 31 and 42. Hmm, we have planned acquisition of land that are protected surrounding environment. Park Conerton County. Ahem, transfer station on the east and western sides for Go Pasco. Hmm, here's ours capital plan road repairs. Therefore, this is maintenance roads. Let's Let's see. Ahem, accumulation funding for RNR for the factory with waste recycling for energy. Hmm. AND then this plan major repairs transport has a brief summary here. So, considering different, um, different components by categories. Therefore, power on the next five years, overhaul. So these will be, um, various, um, points service bridges, some walking things, safety and signals on intersections, street pedestrian paths and road connections. Chief Amy, can you you go back to one slide back Please? Yes. Yes. So for Go Pasco we have our pilot

49:51

program free services. If she will successful, I think, we all hope, that it will be so. Or it is necessary for us to were needed capital projects for transfer students Go Pasco stations? I would probably say that they still have you are needed because free microtransit will help expand these transfer stations. Now you have no transfers stations for your main bus lines lines on the east and western sides, and there is still a big one there workload. This is so clean. loss for us budget for public transport in general, but it is also significant subsidized to some extent. Hmm, I can't speak. about interest subsidies. This is probably over 80-80%. Thank you. Heavily subsidized from federal funds. So the cost for taxpayers Pasco County, probably is 20 %of this net programs. This is still money. I-I-I won't. to argue with you about this. Hmm, but he still is used, and Nena and the team constantly evaluate routes on this moment. But transfer stations now we are working on parking lots. We do this is private property, and this basic infrastructure when it comes down to this. We do not seek rapid expansion. We are talking about two transfer stations, because now we have them no. Hmm, but I think what is free statement on In your opinion, this is, um, will change the rules of the game. And if we learn, and if we learn to- another, then we we can. But in general, total net cost, sir Commissioner, not so much. and big, and I still

51:16

I think that in the end you this will be needed, right? What, Katie, didn't I bring? Nina today in the evening, but, you know, unless Katie thinks so that I need something add to this statement. But we can also to come back to this, if there is no good one work. Good. If free the transport will work, and this is public transport of the future, and actually there is passenger traffic, and people they use it, if people are use, and this really affects traffic, and people I like it, and they are fully use this. It makes me like trusted person, to feel much better by investing in public transport, because now for me it is a little unpleasant, so that it is difficult. And if we let's move away from traditional bus line to places where we have is really real passenger flow, total savings on on the roads, on everything, on quality of life, I would oxen not necessarily to invest in buildings and construction sites, and to invest in program. And then you not necessarily, right? that are free wagons stand still there. But if they they drive like they do joint trips, then I don't have to. need better understand why we I need these two. stationary objects for 10 million dollars. Let me to spend a little more research with team and see how free vehicles integrate with more large-scale public by transport. I...I I am currently developing regulations. I would very much wanted to talk to my professional employees from

52:37

about this, and then contact you, because we haven't yet started. We don't have contracts, right? We are still just we are planning. I want to check this, because I know that we we are engaged design, and we... I don't know if we're done yet. Are we building or not? To things, Katie, I mean, therefore that such opportunities, as free, -this the future, which, By the way, I...I'm in delighted with this and I hope that's it. just create much healthier temporary environment for our district and people who use. Therefore, Katie Pearson, helpmate administrator district, state services. This microphone seems strange. Ahem, just very quickly, so free, we not yet completed contract. We are not we are going to implement, probably by autumn. Ahem, they must get all yours vehicles and install free of charge infrastructure. Um, so they hope that we let's start this, hopefully in September , October, somewhere in this district. So we working on construction status transshipment stations. Transshipment stations, I think, already designed and ready to work. Ahem, I think they already selected a contractor for them. So we invested some money, but not full transportation. I will check it out. next meeting rule. We will do it, because this money it could have been better to use for investing in such program, as free, not brick construction. And I want to add, sir Commissioner, that

54:00

free costs we almost half a million dollars for a pilot program. So we will consider that this a lot of money for vehicles, what are they going to do give. So we we are going to do this pilot. It pilot project, and we let's see which one economic efficiency. As I said, if number of passengers will grow, and the program will bring wonderful results, and people rather will transport people there and back, then investments will be worth attention. Now in us, you know, number of passengers buses are not the same as could be. And if the program will type revolutions, and people with it will use, and they like it, and it will be successful, and these little machines, probably much cheaper in maintenance than buses, I would rather invested in something, even if it will be a little more expensive than actually will provide healthy service for of our community than just continue the same old model. I also want to note that Uber addressed the team Go Pasco, and they, I hope they conclude contract under which want to provide the district $50,000 for vouchers for people, so that they try Uber. So this will be distribution issue expenses. So we are now This is what we do. So there are others happening good things. By the way, I want to see if it's...me really need to talk to some industry-specific experts to to find out if there is microtransit integration, district or replacement. Yes, talk to Seinal district. So, okay. Thank you. We We will do it. Thank you, head. Good. So, here it is.

55:35

table. And therefore, this the table displays previous bets soap board. Therefore, these are the same ones that were are set to TRIM, and how do they compare with rates abbreviation, as stated in messages about abbreviation. Good. AND that's why we're here today we are doing this approve previous bets soap board and budget and assign final hearing. So now, chief, if you want return to scenario with me. Here. I will try. read the correct ones lines. So, I think we stopped at the end pages, on the last fragment at the bottom of the first pages. Yes, according to Florida Statute 200.065, 065. The first question that will be discussed, -this recommended rates soap board and percentage change from rate reduction. Mr. Chairman, members board, aggregate soap fee rate, specified in announcements about pruning, was 9.8403 miles, up 0.57% less than the total reduced rate of 9.8970 mil. In the table one in your handout the material is given soap rates for different districts fees and comparison recommended soap rate with reduced rates and accepted rates soap fee for the previous year. Instead of read this diagram to protocol, we provided copies to each member board and members audience. Today In the evening I would like to to ask the commission accept the previous ones soap rates and the overall budget. Soap fee rates, adopted today in the evening, there is maximum permitted legislation

57:03

Florida without sending to everyone to the property owner additional message. The board can lower rates soap board tonight until last hearing September 22. However, soap rates cannot be increased later by meeting. If the commission wishes to submit changes to the budget, we please entrust staff return 22 September at the latest public hearing with desired amendments. I would like to provide summary general budgets fund and transport trust fund, indicating temporary tax rates on fishing, interest rate change from the rate reduction and reasons for such a change. Previous bet fishing tax for the general fund is 7.2593 soaps, which is 0.14% more than reduction rate 7.2488. Over the past year the district received magnification taxable estimated value by 6.8%. Magnification real estate value led to additional 20.4 million in revenue. Currently, as discussed under presentation time, these expenses are placed on standby account as part of recommended administrator budget district. Previous actions legislative body Florida canceled requirement for mandatory tax on transport services. Past year of transport fishing tax did not charge, and we suggested not to charge tax on fishing this year for transport trust fund. I I beg your advice. public comments , and then vote on tax rates on

58:20

fishing for general fund and transport trust fund, and also related to budgets. Minimum quantity votes, required to collect the rate general tax fund for this previous listening is simple majority or three voices. However, for final public hearing there will be at least four voices. Good. Someone wants to so that it is for public? Someone wants to speak before the council regarding general fund and trust fund transport? Sorry, we have several registered, hmm, personally. Natalia Chappa. Yes, I'm very sorry, that it was terrible. If you can, um, to go on the podium and to name correctly your name and address for...My name is Natalia Shepich. Thank you. And your address? Sorry? Your address? Uh, 7749 Prospect Hill Circle, Newport Beach, Florida. Good. Continue. THERE ARE- Hey, good evening, commissioners. My name is Natalia Shepilvidzh, I resident of the district Easter and the turban taxes, and I'm here today, to to speak out against our current tax burden on property and excessive district expenses. County Easter is growing rapidly. More is being built houses. Uh, we have more payers taxes, higher tax base, and the district collects more revenues from property tax. Taxpayers must see essential, uh, tax benefits. Look how we we distribute the tax on property. Over 33% goes only for management district. Over 43%. It larger individual share our taxes on property ad valorum. For

59:58

comparison, our school taxes together constitute about 37%. Firefighter the service receives only 14 %, and the road service MSTU- just close, uh, two and a half. Think about it. District maintenance independently occupies a larger share if take into account all our school taxes together, and more than three times the share goes to the fire department . More than 43% is too much. Even the South- Western District water management Florida's resources this year reduced your tax rate. Water management resources is important, but they found way to lower your rate, because tax base grew. So why? Pasco County cannot do the same? Uh, This is taxpayers' money. taxes. Uh, we, taxpayers, must have real the right to vote in how ours is spent money. County governments work for people, and not the other way around. District Easter is needed raise your, uh, appetite, and, uh, I I demand a 60% reduction. administrative and bureaucratic costs , uh, and significant tax relief on property. Uh, that's not it. please, uh, this is not request for a favor. This is our money, and I I want to ask everyone present here tonight. Please pick up. hand if you agree with because Pasco County should reduce their administrative and bureaucratic costs and reduce our tax load on property. Oh, okay. Thank you. And I also have petition, signed residents of the district Easter and the payers taxes. I would like to submit it for public record. Good, That's all. I propose to accept and submit a proposal. Uh, I suggest accept and submit.

1:01:49

Second. Everyone who is "in favor" I say. Therefore, next, uh, this the only one who registered personally. Is there anyone? online, but do you want you take from, uh, someone else from the audience wants to speak before council? Good. So if not, we have Vincent Gorino online. Mr. Gino, if you are there, be there Please name yours. name and address for recording, and then you have There are three minutes. 8204 Lauren Delo Drive, Fort Richey, 08037. Thank you, sir. 468. Good. Thank you. Continue. So, last year's tax rate was 7.4420, and this year –7.24880. Is that correct? We are not answering. We just listen. And I would also like to to know if this law about homestead will be adopted in November, Where are you going? take the rest of the income, to cover all these other expenses? This is the answer. If we don't answer, hold a public discussion. Well, this big question, and I I think your advice should be able to to some extent answer him. I think that a lot people want to know. Or Can you tell? This is all I can do. say now. Can you to tell about any other public discussions ? No one else signed, sir. No. Is there any discussion from the side advice? No. I'll just say that regarding the amendment to property tax, if it is accepted , we don't know what we will do. AND partly because of this we have this account Foot Locker–capital costs. We want to spend money To us no need to spend money, but

1:03:58

if this is accepted , then after the sheriff, prisons, 9/11. We we think that now we are missing approximately 4 million dollars for everything else. Everything else. This is not will happen in the budget this year, but will happen in the budget next year. So now we are considering, What will we do? We don't know. But I I will tell you that in the past years when we had great recession in 0809 year, we had a meeting everywhere, parks and stables reduced to 29%. I don't know, as far as will be dramatic these cuts or what we will do for compensation of fees, but it will be difficult make. And I just I hope that people realize that there is more, it seems 27 others districts that are not can make budget now, before how it is the reduction will be validity. And partly the reason why governor first did not support him after he it was adopted, consists of in that they don't have was for this support. And when even the state, it seems , tried to shorten your tax rate from selling for 25 cents of the total amount money, they even have there was no support, to do this because they thought it was may be too much destructive for budget in the next several years. We we don't even know, what will theirs be like budget, because they they say that they themselves will encounter deficit. So, we considering all unfunded mandates that are before us, which we just talked about talked. We considering all others meeting, and we don't know, What will happen? I just want to, just I want to say for protocol that our team from alternative financial decisions is currently engaged

1:05:25

studying the impact large-scale tax reforms property. They consider income. We are considering costs. We also we are considering legal requirements and changes to legislation that could help reduce it. I think that this work will not be useless, especially regarding the last one, because I I think that local authorities have many expenses, which, probably could have been to adjust, change and to settle through legislature. So, uh, being held a number of measures regarding of how will look specific abbreviations . These solutions have be accepted when The time will come. But we we will be ready with options, alternatives and things that we thought about, um, in as a result of this. It what everyone thinks about it. I mean, sadly, that it was done for a weekend or two days to complete this matter. I think that years earlier, in the previous year, in they were smarter option when they allocated a million dollars for creation committee. The study should to consider it, analyze. Let's see, What can we do? Uh, we could consider these unfunded mandates. We could consider how the state will fight with us with the federal government for sick leave the treatment we must pay themselves, because about this didn't care. Above this it would be possible to work. Uh, me I think there is opportunities for how can we improve procurement, because everyone knows, when you pass by through the government with requests for proposals for 600 pages, so that they to consider. It

1:06:40

increases the cost. When we have to announce how much will cost the road project, well, you know what is happening? Our road projects are very close to this number . And I think that today we saw, that a sharp increase fire stations to us it cost. Can we Can we do it better? Can the federal, state and local authorities work better, first than we will do this stride? I think what should we do? AND, I hope it's not we will succeed, we really let's get together and Let's get to it. Today I voluntarily I will declare myself to be member of this committee. Mr. Stark, I just want to say that we do every year we are reducing our tax on real estate. Um, me too I am sure that if we have not encountered this the third amendment, we would do the same this year. Hmm, but if reduced tax on real estate, and then you will be hit with a third by amendment, you dig up even bigger ones pits. So, you know, I don't I know what will happen on the 22nd. th number. Um, but we we are reducing taxes every year, and, um, and I, You know, I understand. I I hear from people that, especially if you buy a new one house, how much is a tax on real estate. Um, but I I would like our legislature waited and took advantage of tax commission, which is going next year, this the same commission that spoke with our the idea of ​​"save our homes", which, on in my opinion, it was a good idea. I think the more states the whole country should to do it. Hmm, uh, but us, us, us need, uh, no doubts that we need some relief, but what

1:08:13

they did, there is too radical, and I I hope that, uh, we we won't end up in huge red next year's hole. Commissioner V. Thank you, head. I'm not going to no one here should be surprised, but, uh, I'm not afraid of that there is a desire to reduce run and find some abbreviation. Uh, in I have a few ideas, but I think we should need to spend plenary session board before we will do it, and hear some clarification before our last hearing on budget. But, uh, how always, you know, Amendment three on the table , but it doesn't scare me result. In any in any case, I think, that we will figure it out, and the government will survive. Uh, in you have more chances survive if this experiment with American experience not will end. But, uh, you know, businesses they understand this day by day and lead their activities, and, uh- Well, we're not doing anything. We are different. But, um, if you have any ideas and someone wants to reduce taxes, I'm ready to find out this, regardless of whether how difficult there will be a solution. And, um, everything will be fine. Therefore, Commissioner Vman, I want to go back to that, what were we talking about earlier today. We talked about different things: expenses for us have grown. Cost roads has increased since 2008 year by 35%, sidewalks by 257%. Wastewater treatment plants partly because construction, but also thanks to increase productivity, foreseen state, increased more than 500%. Fire stations increased partly because what we have provided additional security for our people to they were not sick cancer. Er, increased by 388%. Multipurpose fields increased by 88%. Multi-purpose U paths by 567%. The thing is that we

1:10:11

considering adalorum reduction and we try to do these abbreviation. 75% of the budget spent on others things through enterprises and others things that this require. So we we consider a small window. From this a small window in you still have 75% of the budget, who go to the sheriff, prison and 911. Only with the fact that, as they They say we are in danger. blow, we have approximately 4 million dollars. Only this. I completely for trying reduce costs, but I think that it is more important to discuss , how bad, if the idea is canceled. Save a little more It's hard here or there. I I'll give you an idea. One of things that I violated before, there was an attempt to consider part development services, where we actually, um, we pay for services development. Maybe we can we have a little shorten it and allow the community developers pay us in full cost of services throughout process. I don't mind. consider this more carefully. But what applies to all of these other things, we had difficulties before, when we had a big recession, and we don't have there were reserves. At least for now the moment we have a situation where we have time zone to decide whether they are needed we have this money, while this the situation is not Will it be okay? Because can do this It will take two years. We don't know what will make a staff, but, maybe in a year, when they find 27 people or 27 districts, who cannot make budget today to any of these abbreviations, this, perhaps prompts these people to move on. In this state, it may to take place in full permutation like this happening now. But what, I mean,

1:11:47

I'm afraid of what will happen. if you don't have money in reserve to survive the next year. Can I ask about service? Good. Um, we have another one. meeting to discuss this if we won't have to do it today. I I would like to come back. home. My husband all alone at home. I or, you know, we, we must finish it tonight, and we... No, I don't...I don't want to. to do this... Good. do everything tonight . I just really ready. I'm explaining this because we have another meeting. Well, if you have a specific idea that you want to discuss with the administration during the week, tell us too we are going to do this to consider, because I I think that this normally. We can, we can them to discuss. We let's talk to you, and we, of course, we can discuss this on next meeting. Good. Good. Is there a proposal for adoption previous bet for the general fund 7.2593? Mr. Chairman, I would... Sorry. Simply quickly, commissioner Joerger online so you knew. So I think that roll call vote . Then this means nominal voting? Right. Good. So first enter proposal. Second. IN We are the second. Roll call vote . There is only one district. Commissioner Oakley. Greetings. District two. Commissioner Weightman. Greetings. District three. Commissioner Starkey. 1.
