Good evening. I'll call this meeting of the July 27th Super Committee meeting of the borough of Dormont to order. If you would please rise and join meeting Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with a particular and justice for all. Thank you. I understand there are no registered comments this evening. And so at that, I'm gonna pass the gavel down to uh council member Grieger for the Finance and Legal Committee. Thank you, Madam President. Um legal uh will commence at 6.03 p.m. Uh we have two items up for discussion um andor review. The first is uh quarter two budget review. So I assume I'm tossing that over to you, Melinda. So take away. Yes, let me share my screen. So this is a similar review that we did um at the end of last quarter. Um see if it looks through. Um going through the budget to actual variances by deport department, as well as kind of reviewing any not budgeted revenues and expenses, anticipated large revenues in quarter three and large expenses in quarter three. Um, I'm also providing an update on some of those that I mentioned in um last presentation. So as you can see in our budget to actual variants, most of them are at the about the halfway midpoint for um finances. The finance piece, um, we have that part of that, while it's only one percent remaining, is because of the um financial audit. There, because we were finishing up 24 and 25 audit, the payment for the 24 audit, which was budgeted um last year, was paid this year. Um, so we had to pay Mara Dussel twice, excuse me, twice for that. Um, is about there's about 40% remaining. Um, we have had a lot of engineering projects. Sorry, just to clarification, we did not pay them twice. What you're saying is the payments for 2024 and 25. Yes, ma'am, that's in this budget year. Yes, is that accurate? I just don't want to invite the U double. Correct. Yes. Um, I may have on the engineering. Uh, one thing I have discussed with Andrew McCreary and Mount Lebanon is once our loan is the general obligation note is good to go, uh, whether or not we can apply our the council can pass a reverse resolution to pack a the engineering costs related to the next generation playground out of the general obligation note. We can't do it out of the loan proceeds, but we can out of the general obligation note. So hopefully we can capture back some of the engineering expenses we've we've expended this year. Um, otherwise, everyone else is pretty in line for at least the this section. Does anyone have any questions so far?
