- It's called order of this the Tuesday May 27th 2025 version of the Eltsville town council chief you
- want to do the prayer
- United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands
- one nation under God
- Invisible with liberty and justice for all
- Roll call when you're ready to know
- William Ellis here
- Scott Oldham here Trevor Saker here Dan Swaffer here
- Before we start the regular portion of the meeting this be the public hearing for the award of bids
- for the community crossing matching grant
- two bids opened on the 12th of May of this year were for ENB paving for
- 244 thousand two hundred fifteen dollars and ten cents the second with milestone pavings two
- hundred seventy seven thousand five hundred seventy one and
- Eighty cents this matter was taken under advisement for our legal counsel to review and we'll now
- proceed
- Myself and Denise both have went through the the only two bid packets that we didn't receive and
- everything was there
- That need to be there. So we will be going with the low bid from EMB paving for
- two hundred forty four thousand two hundred fifteen dollars and ten cents, okay
- questions comments
- counsel
- Any from the public online or in person?
- And now we're back to the council for a motion
- We'll make a motion to approve bid for community crossing grant match
- for EB paving
- Motion second when you're ready
- William Ellis. Yes, Scott. Yes, Trevor Sager. Yes, Dan Swaffer. Yes motion passes
- Absolutely on the on this community crossing grant. So is this amount?
- We're not paying the full amount. Correct. There's a
- matching to it
- Okay, do you remember when that was first brought up to the council that we were applying for this
- one
- Because before we do grants we're
- In January of every year so the grant process would have started in January was the council
- notified though
- Okay, that's one of the things we said we want like to know because since we do have to pull out
- money from
- Budget well, I mean the money from this comes from my restricted line, which is but I have money
- every year
- Okay, and my apologies is if I didn't notify you but this has been a long-standing grant that we've
- been applying for since
- 2016 okay
- I think his point is that we need to follow the same format for everything and there's been a
- couple not this one
- That have slipped through that we didn't get notice of until the very end
- So you want you would like to have a notification like at the first council meeting
- Applications are being open for the great. Yeah for grant
- Okay, so we know later on there's going to be a cost to not a process so that way we're consistent
- across the board
- Not a problem. Yeah, that's all
- Good. Yep. All right. Now, we'll move to approval the minutes for the regular meeting on April 28th
- and May 12th, 2025
- So moved
- Second motion second. All those in favor say aye
- Any opposed any abstaining?
- Actually pay accounts payable vouchers and payroll vouchers
- So move second motion second. All those in favor say aye
- Opposed
- the abstaining
- There are no resolutions. There are two ordinances on first reading this evening first ordinances
- 2025 - 14 recertifying the current legislative body districts of the town of Ellsville, Indiana
- the council will recall that as of
- November of this year the town council has to
- Either redraw the district lines or recertify the current lines
- If the council doesn't have it done by the end of June you do not get paid until you get it done
- So I have prepared an ordinance
- Which recertifies the current legislative body districts for the town and that is based on
- Information that Kevin Talati put together after the last census in 2020. He prepared a couple of
- maps
- showing the current wards as they existed
- in 2020 and what the very minor changes would be with the
- population count for the 2020 census and
- I believe the council's intent was to just recertify the districts as they currently are
- Comments questions from council
- Do we have a cabinet given us a map? I thought that showed the population percent of change
- Yeah, but that was a little bit older because then we had another
- Census, I don't think any of us actually believes because of the COVID census, right?
- But was it still within I think there's some state guidelines aren't there Darla that there they
- can't be and at the time
- Yeah, I thought that was
- But this was one based on that. I thought so too. I just want to make I just want to make sure that
- I don't see
- the population numbers
- In here just to make sure I'm good with it because we discussed it then I was under the impression
- we had already
- Approved it. I mean weren't you guys kind of thought I didn't know we'd have to revisit it
- No, I knew we'd have to recertify it. But okay, I
- think
- Back when we recertified this or we were talking about it. There wasn't much
- Development that was counted in the last census and it was going to be minimal change and that's
- why we left it as is
- Whereas the next census should correct should establish a bigger area and we will have to probably
- redo the districts then but this is correct, right
- This district three only that no, I think that is in I think the current council ward has seen
- exhibit a is not correct
- Because I think I've got clover and all the way up through to Holly and then Dan takes over going
- east
- I think it's just color-coded and it's hard to read. There's like we've got a color-coded one right
- here
- I think and the three is up is a
- Work the number three is is actually a hole in the town. I don't think yeah
- We probably had to discuss that at some point these worries the holes in the town. Yeah
- Okay. Yeah, that makes more sense. Thank you
- Absolutely. Yeah
- Scott's an island pretty much
- So who's in board one is that William that's me Trevor Williams to PAM's five I'm three or four
- Okay
- So Trevor got probably most of the development with that
- Apartment duplex, but was that done before the census though?
- Again, I think the last census my personal opinion was so
- Wonky because of kovat. I'm not sure anybody got a true. Yeah
- Because you can't build all the homes we built not show a population increase. I think ours
- actually decreased. Yeah
- So I think definitely the next time we'll have to look at this a lot harder
- But I'm good with leaving it as is and again, this is only nor does in first reading
- So we've got two weeks to take public comment or to think about it ourselves if we want to do
- something differently make adjustments
- Denise do you read
- When we annex something we I'm pretty sure I'm right on this you put in there and Darla that word
- is what?
- Precinct to go. Yes. What war war goes. Yes always. Okay
- And when we recertify these or certify and whichever, you know
- We do do we take in account stuff that's been annexed up to the time we were certified or up to the
- time of the census
- It's at the time of the census. Okay, that's all I know
- But when they annex in they'll automatically be certified into that ward and it's whatever we put
- in the ordinance. Yes
- so
- Just didn't know if we had to redraw them because we've since these are first presented with annexed
- but but we don't since this is
- It's something that should have been done after the last
- Census which was again as you pointed out was postponed because of kovat anyway
- So the rule is it's whatever it would have looked like after the last census had it been done in
- 2021 or whatever
- But if you aren't part of the town you are definitely an award
- Yeah
- And to be honest with you the the development growth we've had is spaced out enough. I don't think
- it really makes much difference
- We're not gonna have something so lopsided
- Again I think with the new big developments coming like I said the next census I think we'll
- definitely have to reevaluate it
- Oh, absolutely. I agree with you
- And keep in mind there are some ward changes that that we're doing too
- And Denise didn't Kevin account for the little bit of change in population when he
- Has missed I recall. Yes
- Okay
- He wanted for a little more
- Maybe he didn't catch something
- We can only go by what the census says though. I agree with Scott. It's the data is not necessarily
- the best
- All right
- Well again, this is on first reading so if we wouldn't mind studying it
- I would like to see something though
- And I don't know who would come from about these islands that are within the town and why we haven't
- done something with them
- Because clearly they are getting the same services that everybody else is and not paying for them.
- So if we can do something to
- Take care of those that would be great
- And as I mentioned the last time we talked about this a lot of them are even voting in the town
- because
- voter registration
- does not have a way to
- They don't do my property. They do it by precinct
- Well, well there's holes in three and there's holes in four well, I just meet in general for the
- precinct
- Necessarily the ward but the voting
- I'd have to see an overlay, but I believe the precincts pretty very much correspond
- to
- What the ward is but it's like that little part of Reeves Road, I mean I think it's
- Annex now reason loud looks like maybe the cemetery
- Hopefully no one's voting there but
- That that's not going to have its own precinct and neither is the space between two and five that's
- not going to be a precinct
- That's why I was one. Yeah, and where the three years that were the confusion. That's not going to
- be so
- Yeah, I mean these are we've got precincts that have and I don't know if there's anybody living in
- those areas
- But if they ever do I know on Chester. There is a hole somewhere
- And they do and I was confirmed they do vote they pull a town ballot because it's in the precinct
- and they vote in the town
- Although they're paying county taxes and not town taxes. Well, there is somebody living in three
- That's the hole the hole in three, okay east of Kelly I almost guarantee they're voting in town
- Well, just if someone could do some research on that and get us a report. That'd be great
- We're just annexing true is the
- The new apartments that went in is that shown on this map. I'm trying to figure it out
- I don't think it's colored up if it's based on the last census then they were built after that,
- okay
- But they would still be in ward four though, correct
- You talk about the ones across from Arby's yeah, it looks like they're in there right now they're
- colored in at least
- Rindo lane
- Well, but they're also
- So again, I'm just looking at the colors, so I don't even know the name of the road that cut
- through there
- It's it's colored in as well North Kim it was colored in under the old one, too. Yeah
- But
- It's like those that hole there right across and in the shopping center
- Okay, so can we move on to the next one since this is first reading
- The next ordinance tonight our first reading is ordinance 2025 - 15 to adopt the town of Ellsville
- construction standards and specification manual for roadways
- This is a manual that's been prepared
- by the Department of Public Works and Rick Coppock and
- The purpose of this ordinance is simply for the town council if it approves of the specifications
- to adopt the specifications
- for construction standards and for roadways
- Questions and there's one little thing I will have to change before the next reading and that's on
- Section 3.0 page 3 about in the middle of the page. It says pipe size shall be in accordance with
- the stormwater design
- Guidelines contained in chapter 761 stormwater management. I'll need to change that because the
- town's chapter
- Is I think 153 that the council passed last November
- I believe so those are the stormwater regulations that should be in there not
- 761
- Document outside of the UDO Denise can probably explain a little bit more about this but it'll be
- on
- Help me
- It'll be on the website so
- Created and passed we were told we had to come up with two manuals
- One was the construction design standards and stormwater stormwater has been passed. So the UDO
- Throughout it has references to those documents. So when you approve them
- The code on the web page, I think
- No, well said it'll say like have a reference
- To those both of those manuals as well and like the UDO. It's a living document. So
- If we find something isn't working or something we could come back to you and request
- amendment
- All right, anything else on this against once on first reading
- Move now to ordinances on second reading this ordinances ordinance 20 25 - 13
- Set the fees for the rental of Eltsville Heritage Center
- That's me. So earlier this year to supervisors meeting the rental of the Heritage Center was
- discussed
- And it was decided the rental fee should be
- $250 and the deposit 500 this determination was made based on the building
- Its features and what it would cost for repairs at its May 5th meeting the Parks Board voted
- unanimously
- To approve the rental and default deposit fees
- The request before you is an ordinance to formally approve those fees
- Questions 250. Yeah for 250
- Is that just is it like an eight to five or is there certain hours for that?
- that is for because
- With the grant during the day, it's open for free to the community to use for
- It's a gathering spot and it has an artistic component for artists to come in
- So this is for rental on the weekend or after hours
- We've been approached for graduation parties. Yeah wedding receptions
- What's the capacity for it? Oh
- I want to say 76, but I'm inside. Yes
- And there's also a stage on it
- Okay
- So the five hundred dollar deposit is that a check is it a cash is it a credit card? What is it?
- However, they would like to pay we had a long discussion on
- Whether or not we just hold it or deposit it and it was decided it would be deposited
- But then refunded with no damage
- I can tell you guys it seems like way steep to me
- $750 a day. Yeah, I get I get you $500 back, but
- There's just some folks not gonna be able for that. This is a public asset
- This is a good time
- Again, I don't know that I have
- Any idea one way or the other it just strikes me as $750 is a lot for some folks to come up with
- It might want to use something like this for it to have a wedding or something. That's
- Memorable because the town did build something nice and I'm not arguing when we're not about it
- I'm just it just seems like a lot particularly if we're going to deposit and they get away to we
- get their money back
- It does seem it does seem high but the damage deposit, you know, it's strictly there to make sure
- people behave
- And treat treated knives so somebody else can use it the next day
- We still know where to fall. I mean if you make it where
- money's not the object and
- You know, it allows maybe some people to use it that can't afford it and that's good
- But also people that really are not serious about why they want to rent
- That makes any sense
- And the other thing that kind of got by me
- Just to keep this going
- Should we have something in there that says we can waive the fee?
- Well, that would be my question is again
- Let's say I want to hold a concert. Oh, okay
- Well, if you're gonna hold concert and I'm all for five hundred thousand dollars because who knows
- how many people are gonna pull down there
- but on the other hand, okay, really can't afford a nice wedding for my
- My wedding my child's wedding whatever else I can go with two hundred fifty dollars, but I'm only
- having forty people there
- And we're gonna make me pay seven hundred fifty dollars
- Because we're depositing it we're not holding
- You know, so you got to come up with that
- Maybe I'm wrong guys. I don't know. I mean I'm concerned about where we're parking folks
- you know what the parking is gonna look like how much it's gonna be used etc, etc, I
- Again, I this is one of those things where I really don't know what I don't know
- Well for a wedding that's very cheap I will say that I just went through those so I
- See what you're saying though about
- Maybe the deposit not being to deposit it and just put a hold on it
- We can't do that. We believe we're accepting the time. Yeah, though be clear
- This is so they rent reserve. So there are options where people can come in and utilize the space
- Yeah, I mean like boy scouts come for Boy Scout
- Church can come in there
- You know what about can use it for free. So this is what you want
- What about a cleanup fee or anything like that or who's going to be in charge of clean
- So that's the 250 included in on all that are
- Overtime and well if that's what that's where we have our money
- But it'll barely cover it
- If I we have a guy after two hours, it's like 80 bucks
- You know that you are just ensuring that it's closed
- What does the shelter house charge? I mean if you want to how much is the shelter?
- The large shelter is the only one that we charge a deposit for and it's $100 deposit and a $200
- rental and then
- the medium shelter is 50 and
- The smaller shelter is $40 for rental plus sales tax. So there are
- cheaper options if they need to
- There are other people can use them and don't pay them. They just don't have reserved people can
- use them all the time
- Maybe every day and they they don't go through the process of spending money
- For a function if you're going to have a wedding or a graduation party or anything like that
- You'd want to know it's going to be there
- What's the council think about and if it's legal, can we offer one fee for residents and one fee
- for non-residents?
- 125 for residents 250 for non-residents. I
- Like it I mean if it's legal I'm good with that, too
- I'm okay that gives someone whether it's parks board or town manager the ability to waive it. I
- have no issue with that
- But we need to put guidelines in or we may get in trouble by yeah
- Well, there's another option we could have them like what the Monroe County Fairgrounds does you
- have to have that insurance policy for that day
- That way we'd be totally covered
- There'd be no deposit, but you'd have to get insurance. That's
- Not really you can call up at your agent and get it for 50
- 75 bucks
- Something that's true. That's why they were so you're saying if they have insurance and waive the
- damage deposit
- Yeah, I would I mean the damage deposit or insurance
- Call event insurance, I believe not. Okay. Yeah
- We've purchased it when we do parades and stuff. We do that for the day
- Relatively inexpensive
- Yeah, cuz if they have insurance we don't have to worry about depositing a check does that check
- bounce do we charge fees?
- How long does it take to get back to them so they can but if they don't have insurance we have an
- option if they
- Can run it too, but they can't get it
- If I may I know that I had a wedding last year and I'm having another wedding this year, so me and
- Chris is
- I know the facility that we used last year. We had to provide our own insurance as well
- so I think that would be a good option that if some like to show proof of insurance and it would waive
- the
- way that so
- Yeah
- Check it out
- When I come back to us next week in two weeks, we'll talk about okay. So just so I'm clear
- I've heard like four different things here. So
- So I've heard 125 for residents 250 for non residents of the town
- put in a section that allows the park board to permit waivers to
- Charitable organizations or just leave it to the parks board to decide who gets away from me
- Okay, everyone put it and then event insurance
- for
- make
- Individuals reserving the property provide proof of event insurance and so if they do that
- It's an either or event insurance or $500 damage deposit or just event insurance across the board
- No, I think that or either or because now they've got three ways they can write appeal for me
- Okay, put $500 down or they can go get an insurance. Okay. Yeah, the question I would say while we're
- doing this
- Do we want to say over a certain amount of people you're gonna have to have event insurance?
- Because if you're gonna hold a concert down there $500 ain't gonna do. Yeah
- You're gonna hold a concert with more than pick a number guys now. We're gonna require an insurance
- and whatever amount you choose
- So again something for you guys to mull over and bring back to this think about how you want to do
- that
- Because I can see this thing being very very popular
- And unfortunately, very very popular means very very
- popular
- Probably
- So and again refresh my memory parking is that gonna just what what's already there we're gonna put
- it more down
- On site and then they're parking up on Park Street and I think there's going to be additional
- parking
- center and later I
- Don't talk about it right now
- That'll be in close proximity
- Vine Street, we just made like how many parking spaces do you think we got 40 40 50?
- So it's in close proximity and it'll be connected by trail sooner than either and so
- The parking is not going to be that
- Okay, just to be sure
- When is the completion of this supposed to be you know?
- All but one line I think we're there except for some of the landscaping
- We have some
- And also
- Drive in because the drive-ins in one way so we're waiting on their approval
- We anticipate
- Hopefully
- Waiting so most important questions when the cow go back up
- it's
- It's under going and facelift
- So it will be the same cow. We have to strengthen it a little bit the tables crack
- We had a practice run, so I'm thinking it should go
- It's gonna be a very nice building we try to keep pictures
- Okay
- All right, since this is an ordinance on second reading we'll need a motion to table to let them
- move forward with it
- Is there such a motion? I'll make a motion to table ordinance 2025 - 13 to set fees for the rental
- of the Ellisville Heritage Center
- second
- Whenever you're ready
- William Ellis. Yes, Scott. Yes, Trevor Sager. Yes, Dan Swaffer. Yes motion table
- My apologies to the town. I'm not thinking of these suggestions beforehand. I thank you guys for
- bringing this
- Sure
- No
- There is no old business there is no new business privilege of the floor anyone having business for
- the council not part of our normal agenda
- Thank you
- Moment here, I'm Dennis Pence
- I live at 792 Lantern Lane here in Ellisville up in the Greenbrier area
- and
- my purpose here to
- The apologies
- Is it what?
- Okay
- All right. Sorry
- The purpose that I'm here
- Which I'm speaking on for a lot of our neighbors that I've talked to over the last several years
- As our neighborhood has grown
- Tremendously when we moved here
- Ten or twelve years ago it our street dead end into the woods in a in a field and now
- It's all completely grown up and as houses and the traffic has become
- unbelievable, it's almost like 46 out here and I've
- Because of
- The new people moving in there is no respect for the 20 mile an hour speed limit that we have in
- our neighborhood and
- throughout the entire all the streets and
- I've requested
- of
- Mr. Durnall, Mr. Durnall will testify I've talked to him
- Numerous times and other police officers that we need some patrol out there
- to just write some tickets because the speed limit as of tonight is up to 50 miles an hour and
- that Mr. Durnall did have one officer come out that I'm aware of and
- He came at 7 o'clock at night when everybody's already home
- and he said he didn't see any problem whatsoever
- But he said unless somebody's going 45. I'm not going to write them any tickets and
- that kind of just I thought if you just come between in the afternoon between 3 and
- 6 o'clock
- you could write a whole ticket book full because the speed limit is just unbelievable and
- I'm speaking on behalf of my neighbors because we walk there's not sidewalks
- everywhere on that street and
- there are kids that are we have two neighbor boys who don't pay any attention to traffic whatsoever
- who are riding their bikes and
- You know all of a sudden the car will shock them that you know
- They're behind them and they're not paying attention and it's just going to be a matter of time
- before
- something happens
- so my
- Presence here tonight is to request before the town
- Because I know our Ellisville Police Department is extremely busy with so much
- But is it possible we could have two alternatives?
- one is
- speed bumps
- the other is to put a four-way stop right at my intersection there of
- Muscat and
- What's the other one there?
- There's a there's a street right there beside us
- Hopefully the four-way stop would would slow people down, but we're at the point now this evening
- I yelled at a at a person a young man
- driving through
- That was just I mean it he had to be going 50 miles an hour
- And I think it's a very dangerous situation and I'd like to bring it before you all
- To have discussion in the future or whatever of what can we do?
- Because I know it's not just my street dear run if you go down dear run
- You'll see all these signs out there children at play. Please slow down
- and and it's just a very common thing that people are just flying through our neighborhoods and I
- I'm of the opinion that it's because everybody's new. They're used to driving fast wherever they've
- come from and
- They don't realize that there are so many people walking out there on the streets and and stuff
- so I'm bringing before you a proposal of either speed bumps or
- A four-way stop at at certain sections to stop the start getting the
- traffic to slow down some
- Thank you
- 792
- Lantern Lane
- in the Greenbrier to
- section
- Can you at some point here in the near future put out the speed strips?
- Oh
- Get him replaced, okay, you know about how long that would take I
- Have it. I got a guy that's supposed to be contacting me here in the next week or so about
- I'm trying to get numbers in okay together to get a purchase. Okay, perfect
- Is that interception do they have to stop sign didn't just stop one way or is there?
- There there are stops on one goes down into a cul-de-sac the other goes back
- I believe it's Canon Lane north south is
- Lantern Lantern Lane through street and Musket Drive is the stop street and to the west is
- Called the sack and to the right takes you over to Canon Court
- But there's nothing to slow anybody down all the way back to you get to
- to where it curves into deer run, so they have
- Wide open access to travel as fast as they want
- Okay. Thank you, sir
- Okay, thank you anyone else on a privilege of the floor
- I
- Valerie Dwarf from the Chamber Board just wanted to thank the town and
- Parks and Rec for the lovely memorial service yesterday and also
- The delightful
- Openness that we have to new activities such as the concert Saturday night and that I think this
- Says a lot for our community and its willingness to have a good quality of life for families. Thank
- you
- You have anyone else?
- Seeing none we'll move down to supervisor comments beginning with town manager
- W of B 97 and who's your country for putting on the concert?
- They went to a lot of time and money to make it happen
- Denise has been very helpful and kind of helped lead the way and then I want to thank the
- Department of Public Works
- They had the place looking neat and clean
- Tony and Kirsten from WB 97 they were the liaisons to make it all go
- police was there and I
- Just and especially want to thank Marty Stevens Richland Township trustee
- He's provided with a park area along with the Campbell Park. It's a perfect place to have a
- concert and
- It was it was fun and easy in easy out. So I just want to thank everybody
- There'll be one next Saturday. He ought to go to one
- It's a good time and it's a really pleasant place to take kids. Thank you
- Yes
- Our turnouts was a little disappointed this time
- I think we did better advertising this time than we did any time before
- I started back when I came here in 15 16
- pause
- And also you've been there a couple of times
- People are probably get to it. No, I were talking this morning. Maybe 50
- 50 people so I know I know the older people are passing
- Let's not go more of a weekend. A lot of people are traveling. Yeah to be it too. It was
- Little windy, but we had a nice doctor. The war was our future veteran
- for the day and
- so we had a nice time for what was but
- that participation from the school came down from the singers came from the school and
- So
- Kind of a repeat from last council meeting, but the
- Ellisville fire department did receive a grant. It was actually done through the volunteer
- organization
- Parked outside is the UTV that was purchased. It was a hundred percent paid for didn't cost
- taxpayers anything
- So that's always a bonus
- it takes care of not only fires, but can take care of EMS calls and
- transporting people out of
- areas
- Such as the woods things like that and it's out there for people to look at
- The other thing is to remind everybody that this year's fireworks are on July the 5th rain day is
- on the 6th 6th
- It is all donation based a lot of businesses donate, but we also have I
- Through the
- Fire department's Facebook page you can find a donation site on there or you can cash check will
- have people
- collecting
- donations at the various entrances
- That's always a good time
- And I think that's all I have for tonight. Thank you
- The
- Department of look works. We're starting our spring season of
- Crack ceilings, they'll see the crews out the cracks going to for preventive maintenance and make
- our streets last a lot longer
- Just want to let you guys know we're working on that at this time
- I
- Just wanted to let the council know that I
- Was started working in February with Baker-Tilley to do a comprehensive financial plan and they
- came and presented to all the supervisors
- on the 22nd
- There were a couple of corrections that we need to make in that and then I'll be making that
- available to
- the board so that they can see moving forward it has a lot of the
- Information from Senate enrolled at one that's going to directly affect the town as we move into
- budget seasons
- and I'll be releasing to the supervisors this week the budget forms to start that process and
- By the next meeting even though I won't be present
- My deputy Clark Kelly will be here and she will have the budget calendar because I'm going over
- with that with Baker-Tilley
- But just to make sure that we're in compliance so that everyone in the council has time to look
- over everything
- And we're still the goal is still to do zero base budgeting this year, correct? Correct
- And if you want to share with people what that is
- so basically zero base budgeting is where we don't take what we
- budgeted in 24, which so going into
- 25 we would take and
- Started zero. So you're actually putting in there what you need
- You're not taking what we took the year before and just doing an incremental increase. I'm sorry
- Did the council make that decision that we're gonna go that way someplace? Did I ever call that
- move? No, sir
- Okay, just want to be sure and that was one of the reasons why I wanted to bring it up because that
- was the recommendation
- for the
- Potential for lost revenues going forward
- That's just how I'm setting up these spreadsheets it has it's excuse me it has what's in 24 what
- was actually budgeted it has
- What's been used to date in 25? It has a space for all the supervisors to put in their amounts and
- then
- What the difference is on the right-hand side and the council will have access to the spreadsheet
- so that they can see them in real time
- Because we're doing a SharePoint drive this year
- Okay
- What about when they take money out of a certain line will that show up to use it for something
- else?
- The transfers and the encumbrances we have everything in there currently year-to-date
- To show what we've used and we'll be updating that as we move forward
- So currently the spreadsheets are set through April the 30th
- But I mean there's transferring a lot through the year like if they take money out of a certain
- line
- and
- Is that still going to show that money coming out of that line and going into another line?
- or
- You see what I'm trying to correct. So it will show say
- We're gonna use oh for for office supplies and you had five hundred dollars left over and you
- decide to put it into
- The equipment line, so it will show all those transfers. Yes, the transfers in there and the
- additional appropriations
- correct, okay, I
- Just want to say
- So
- we're about to move into the new Department of Public Works building and
- Tenerably scheduled to move in in a couple weeks
- We are thinking about having a ribbon cutting and an open house on the 23rd
- Let it
- Sink in with a regular scheduled meeting maybe start at around 3
- Have the event ceremonies and then go into a regular scheduled meeting and if the board
- Is interested we might even have
- That meeting at our new training room
- It's not as quite as big as this but we we think we could fit everybody in there and and maybe
- Utilize it for one meeting just you know as part of breaking in the building. Is it wired for
- recording partner?
- We can get we talked about cats today and cats were going to make sure they can come in and do a
- portable
- It wouldn't be live
- This is why and that's just yes
- We don't have to do is it have a better PA system on this room
- It's all tentative but I
- Mentioned for the 23rd just so you can be thinking about saying kind of safe
- All right now we're down to council comments
- Just quick I want to thank the supervisors
- all of them and Noel for actually
- considering zero base budgeting because that's one of the ways
- Budgets get away from people starting from scratch every year and evaluating your needs as best
- practices when it comes to budgeting
- we pretty much do that with
- Most people do that with their home budget would they do and I just think that is a good move
- and I'm glad that
- Glad that we're doing it because makes our job a little easier
- You know further business for the council work
