0:04Get the meeting started, and we'll turn it over to you to present your budget.
0:07All right, thank you.
0:10So that the 2026 budget for public works.
0:29We'll start with page 72 if you have a budget book.
0:41And if you want to go to your uh that's your budget book.
0:45You want to go to your handout book.
0:48I think sewer begins on 43.
0:56And uh that's just that's this book right here.
0:59Then the handout book thing would use 727.
1:16So that's just a summary.
1:19We have a summary up on the screen there for 2026 budget.
1:25Our total FTE count 88.9.
1:29That that's the combined of the both the treatment plant and the maintenance division.
1:34That that includes both 771 and 772.
1:37Excuse me, I can't hear you.
1:56Uh did you want to go over the revenues, Lisa, and sewer, or do you want to do that?
2:02We can just do that when we do the revenues.
2:08So basically, in the in the 771 budget, uh, pretty much the only real adjustments we have there is uh a small increase in the toll and uniform benefits line item.
2:23Um, and that's all contractual to $3,000 bump.
2:28Um other than that, I think that budget you have any questions on any of those line items, you can ask basil myself FTE count 70.5.
2:55The lease agreements going up, and that's because of the uh bond issue that we just did.
3:03And um that ties into maybe I should talk about the revenues that ties into the revenues.
3:10Um we did a five-year revenue ordinance last year to bring all of the rates up to the amount that would need to be to pay the bond issue on the additional debt.
3:25And basil could probably explain what the additional debt is going to be for.
3:30That's five-year capital plan uh for improvements at the wastewater treatment plant.
3:36Uh there's projected to be about 34 to 35 million dollars for those uh improvements over the next five years.
3:42That's why we had petition council in 24 to do a rate structure so that we could pay the increased debt service over the next five years to cover the bond.
3:53Did that all last year?
3:55Yeah, no, yeah, yeah.
3:57That's what made it possible.
4:05Any additional questions on wastewater?
4:09If we move over to 773, so page 77 of your book.
4:15Um the only real adjustment we have in the this is the sewer maintenance division.
4:20We increased heat light powered water on 4047 by about 12,000 dollars, and you can see why that is there because our up through October 31st, we were we were running over on those utilities.
4:35Um T count remains the same.
4:41So any questions on that?
4:44If not, one other slide.
4:45I just wanted to show if Melissa could put up uh page 46 of the comparison of the sewer rates.
5:10So kind of right between Harbor Creek and Wesley little if you look on the chart there on the far right column.
5:17So 135, and then us, and then there's like nine drops to I think Leslie was at 9850.
5:28So just gives you a comparison of where the city's at you remind me again, Chuck, you had caught on with just the the tiering and how that had worked last time with individual versus yeah, we don't do that anymore.
6:00So we used to have a tiering system, so that like you see up here, and it says like the CCFs.
6:06I can't remember what the the number was, but it was something along the lines like 10,000 CCS, got like a significant discount of like maybe 30 percent.
6:14And if we just stopped doing that, then the residents would benefit and it smoothed out the rates real nicely.
6:21So um yeah, so we we stopped that last year, and that cut our increase in half.
6:33Do you want to go over the five year for the waste hour?
6:44We don't have anything to vote for on that.
6:45We don't need it all last year, so I don't care to hear anything on it.
7:04So then we'll go back and uh we'll start with the general fund budget, kind of back go backwards.
7:10We'll start the general fund budget and work forward.
7:13So director's office uh page out page 47.
7:24And there's there's no adjustments here from we carried everything over from 2025 over to 2026 on the expenditure side.
7:42Cool, your budget's coming in, thousand dollars less.
7:47Uh 707 is engineering.
7:50So next page, so these will just go in order, so we're over to page 48.
7:56Um there's nothing here, I don't believe, that changed.
8:10Yeah, I I'll keep moving unless counselor wants to be the 709 is uh traffic engineering, the next page.
8:18This one here, uh on the between 2025 and 2026.
8:23There was a few rebalancing went on.
8:26There was some ads and some deducts on some of the operating expenses, but uh the end of the column there you can see slight increase, but some just pluses and minuses down through there.
8:56Slight increase in total and uniform up on 4024 again.
8:59That's all contractual.
9:01We have um three teamsters in that office.
9:05Uh repairs and maintenance has gone up uh you know double from where it was two years ago.
9:11Any particular reason as far as I know, uh Councilman Nelson, that's just due to the repair and maintenance of the traffic signals and the light and the city owned lighting.
9:26Um there anything Leanne specific on that one?
9:34And they increase the number of lights.
9:38So you're look, I see you're looking back to 2024 in 2020.
9:42We were running out 20,000, now we're up to 40.
9:54Can I put this back for one second?
9:56Sorry, my brain is taking a second.
9:57Can you so we're at 707 again?
10:00So a couple pages back.
10:01Remind me again, can you walk me through the casual labor, please?
10:07So the casual labor, we have a we have a part-time engineer in that office.
10:14He was with us last two years.
10:17He's uh he works about 25 hours a week.
10:23So then he works all year at reduced hours.
10:30We put that in casual labor because there's no benefits.
10:40Uh Bureau of Streets is on page 50.
10:45And I believe this budget, there's no I believe it's a pretty much a mirror image of last year on all the expense side.
10:56Um RFTs at streets are 47.
11:08Uh paint and sign division.
11:14And the same thing here.
11:15We have no increases from in any of the line items from 24 or from 25 up to 26.
11:27Other services and charges.
11:29It was budgeted for 2,000.
11:31You're up to 22,000.
11:32You're still budgeting for 2,000 for next year.
11:46You know, Lisa, I have a in 24, what's there's a 318 in there?
11:52Do you see that one?
11:57Leftover Snow Megan bills.
11:58Leftover Snow Mageddon bills were there.
12:03Do we need to increase that budget?
12:08I mean, I don't normally budget for snowstorms.
12:16Like if something like that happens.
12:24Where would it get so if we're not putting it in the budget, just in case that happens, where would where does it likely get pulled from?
12:31If we go over like we did in 24 and 25.
12:35Oh well, normally we would transfers transfer from other funds that aren't using them or um contingency fund in the uh general government.
12:54Just pull me just make that quicker transfer.
13:13So with the when we we went over the police and fire budget, um, we have a lot of the the cameras and stuff that are going to be maintained.
13:21Is that is the maintenance of all the cameras going to be under the police budget?
13:25Will parks or will the public works at any point be responsible for maintaining if something else comes down and getting out there and fixing?
13:33Because if we're adding more cameras, essentially that could be more work.
13:38Yeah, there's no money in the public works budget for the police cameras.
13:47That might just be something to flag that.
13:50We might need to talk to the police about that.
13:53Make sure there's enough in their budget to handle maintenance.
13:56Because I get like we got a grant to get a lot of them put up.
13:59But don't need maintained.
14:01And cameras got us dial really fast.
14:03So at least that's what my phone says.
14:14How long does that contract go?
14:16It's a 10-year contract.
14:17So they'll do all the maintenance for 10 years.
14:20They on the body cams, the tasers, the cameras, like the ones that are in digital storage.
14:28License prior, everything.
14:42Is this as a municipal garage, the Bureau of Fleet of Maintenance.
14:47Um see up there we have 22 FTEs, no change there.
14:55C expenditure breakdown.
14:58Where our uh 2026 budget is.
15:01There's a uh there's a slide in your handout that handout book page 42.
15:08Maybe Melissa can put up, and this is um this shows just a breakdown of the municipal garage.
15:15Um our our fee list on the left side, and then on the right side are our municipal garage clients.
15:23We have sixteen of those.
15:24I think the last one we added in was Bell Creek and uh uh Westonville.
15:32So we don't want to give them an inflation for towing costs on that that small record.
15:53Oh that uh yeah, the the big record two fifty and the small records up a hundred.
15:58Yeah, those have stayed the same since twenty thirteen.
16:04You know, we'll take a look at that.
16:06I'm probably gonna get spammed with a lot of hate mail for saying that right now.
16:23Uh any questions on that one.
16:37Last time we raised the rates for the neighboring polices that come to the service services.
16:44Do you go by the rates that Hallman's charge or you know what I'm saying?
16:51Uh I'll I'll have to find out.
16:53I don't know what year it was, Mr.
16:54Brzezinski, but it was a couple of years ago.
16:57Because the the 2023 rates are higher than the uh 2012 rates.
17:02That might have been the year that we increased them.
17:06That's the way I'm asking.
17:08Everything else is going up.
17:09Yes, 349 to the ready cross.
17:18If we're gonna be doing this as a service, we should have our people paid for it for a CP.
17:31You're thinking Chuck, are you thinking that's probably a type of the two thirteen?
17:36Is it two twenty-three towing fees?
17:43The the twelve and thirteen.
17:48But yeah, that looks like that would be a big jump from twenty twelve to twenty thirteen versus stagnant for thirteen years.
17:58That would make more sense.
18:10I guess my point was we're making incremental increases in sewer and water and garbage and everything else.
18:17Uh it's good for yeah, yeah.
18:20It's good for one, it should be good for all.
18:22Yeah, we'll look at that.
18:27I can't remember my my first year on council.
18:30That was one of the things I I just haven't looked at in four years.
18:33Um, but I was told that there was like an annual review of the pricing uh where they take bids for certain things, but maybe not telling.
18:47I haven't seen the bits.
19:08Moving right along, Jason.
19:10I didn't mean to hold everything up.
19:11I just sorry, question.
19:13The normal question is I was going through the numbers the other night.
19:21This is the uh Bureau of Public Building Maintenance.
19:25We had a small we we rebid the janitorial contract and this past year, so there's a small it's actually not even reflected in your book, I don't think.
19:36Actually, might show a decrease, but we had a small increase of 4059 for janitorial services for the municipal building.
19:42But these other ones um they've all stayed the same.
19:54Four FTEs in that office.
20:05And then over to no questions on that office, we'll go over to uh Bureau of Parks and Recreation.
20:19Um, this office is going to show an increase of three FTEs on pay actually that'll that'll show up on page 58.
20:33So this is where we increased, we're proposing an increase of three FTEs uh going from 12 um up to 15.
20:46Um parks, we have some slides that Melissa could put up that accompany this.
20:56But our recreation parks and open spaces plan uh consultant.
21:05We have a design workshop and you're gonna put up the this is the Ballard King one, I'm sorry.
21:15So Ballard King, we have we have two.
21:18We have Ballard King, Table J, and they have the City of Erie comparison at 13.9, which I believe what that is.
21:32If you look, I don't know.
21:33Do you have the any further down?
21:35But they they did a calculation.
21:37Um so I know your book reflects uh 12 there, but actually what it was was they they did a they did a uh adjustment, almost an interpolation for our um seasonal staff, and that's how they that's how they came up with 13.9 as uh essentially uh FTE equivalent.
22:00Um then it shows where we where we are for community between 50 and 100,000 population for our parks complement, and then I don't know if there's there's some more there's some more on this page.
22:16I don't know if you you have you don't have the rest of it, but at the end of the day they recommended an increase in our full-time staffing, and then do you have the ones okay?
22:26This is the bet okay.
22:27This is the design workshop one, and the very last row full-time equivalent staff.
22:36You can see the 13.9 appears again in the left column at the bottom under City of Erie.
22:41Then you can look across what they did here is they took five comparable cities, Southend Indiana, etc.
22:48the whole way across to Waterloo, Iowa population, and then us compared to everybody else, and I believe they they range anywhere from 40 up to 13 FTEs, and then we have 13.9.
23:07So then there's one more.
23:10There's a bar chart.
23:14Um, just show that ships level of service.
23:16But if you have the you have the bar chart one that looks like this, no, okay.
23:21Uh there's one there's one more I have that that just indicates um uh uh R 13.9 and compared to the median um and the pure national median and the pure cities, they're up around set.
23:37I'll maybe show it here to council, but it's they're up at the 70s, 73 and 74, and then we're our 13.9 up here.
23:46So what we're asking for there is is three FTEs to try to just improve our park system and bring us up a little bit.
23:57And then in our book, the 12 the 12 actually, we we're what we really have are seven uh teamsters that work on the parks and the boulevards and everything to maintain those, and then we have some special events is in that office, and we have clerical, we have supervisory.
24:14So, really our actual uh is complementary at the parks level of uh workers is seven plus the seasonal.
24:24Yeah, so we've cannibalized that whole department for years down and down and down.
24:31Yeah, it was cut drastically back in.
24:34I think it was 2004 or so.
24:38They cut the it was a long time ago, 20 years ago, but they cut that department back a lot, and so we're trying to we're we're like to have uh that that start to get built back up.
24:49So I just worry when we get a study from people out of town probably see the city for maybe 10 hours and write up a five-year plan for us when they don't know what our city really is.
25:03That's I that's not a big thing, but it is questionable.
25:08You know, why do we have to go outside to look in the mirror and know that we need more people?
25:14How much should we pay for that study?
25:17I'm not sure that anybody knows that.
25:19I don't know what it was.
25:25Could you explain maybe just a little bit of the the benefit for that the community would see when we add in these positions?
25:31So if those positions, those three extra spots were to come in, what would what would we project to be changed?
25:37Like how would how would it help improve services?
25:41Oh, yeah, well, absolutely.
25:42What we have now is we have we have approximately 50 parks, and they're balanced pretty close between east and west sides of the city.
25:52Um the parks employees also mow and maintain all the boulevards.
25:56There's a lot of miscellaneous um areas they have to cut that are along sections of highway like the east side connectors up in the city.
26:07Um our playground system fences, um they still do supporting up of uh houses.
26:17Um really what this is gonna do is it's gonna shore up our our parks for the future, and as the RPOS plan, it's not these these are actually drafted, these get finished, then the next step of this is gonna be implementation, and so we we know this is coming, so we want to get those employees on boarded now so that when this actually is is I believe finished in early 2026, then we'll be able to implement some of the recommendations that come out of this.
26:48And I think we all know how important the parks are to the city, and so this is really I think a badly needed uh compliment to get these on boarded now so that we can prepare for what's what's coming with this of this study.
27:04And I think everybody knows that there's some uh ARP money that's been earmarked for the parks.
27:12So are there any plans or what are the plans for Roger Young?
27:22Yes, well, not not specifics, but they're gonna be part of the plan.
27:26That that park is included, as is all the parks as the study.
27:30I don't I don't have specific projects to present to you today for that that park.
27:36But that park has been talked about as as a key park for this this whole study of plan that's been undertaken.
27:45Did our consultant have any specific suggestions for Robert Young Yards or Young?
27:54I don't know if that does anybody know that I don't know if there was anything.
28:08We have a lot of community out there for the parks and city break.
28:14I don't know if it actually had any, I don't think it was at the level yet about champ specific projects, but it was a lot of community engagement done.
28:39I'm not sure that the folks that lived in the area really wanted that.
28:44I remember when they fought very strongly to have softball fields and soccer fields, which they have.
28:52Uh improvements need to be made definitely over there.
28:55But I think we have to get a handle on what the people want and not forget them.
29:01That's why we're doing it through a parks plan to they're getting public comments and using all of that information to make the decisions or make recommendations.
29:13I would suggest if you uh not haven't done it, is to include the Erie Housing Authority because of their residence right next to the park, plus their residence now.
29:29I still call it Franklin Terrace.
29:32Uh basically walking distance.
29:35Uh they should be included in there as far as planning, organization, and what kind of activities should it be a track?
29:45Should it be soccer, should it be football?
29:49Uh they will be using it probably more often than uh homeowners in the area.
30:01Was it in 203 or 24?
30:04There was another survey that was being conducted.
30:07Because I remember our West Bay Friend in BEST was part of it.
30:09Is that also being all rolled into the data that's being there was a lot of information that was collected during that time just about parks, the assessments, and a lot of the students and uh middle schools were involved in that.
30:23So that's gonna be part of all of this.
30:25I believe that was all rolled into that.
30:30And we meet we meet regularly with them.
30:33We have regular meetings with the team on this.
30:36So as you can see here, it's still in draft form.
30:40So it's still being it's still being finalized.
30:45I know we're peppering you with a lot of the questions that also we need planning and stuff.
30:50Yeah, but some of that some of that, like I I apologize for that, but some of it is is planning.
30:56So we've been working very closely together with with Jackie's office on this.
31:12You seven two seven.
31:13Oh, one request, please.
31:18Um that three new employees that you'll be hiring.
31:23Would they be mowing people's yards if someone has a yard that is not being taken care of and gets a quality of life ticket?
31:36No, we generally don't.
31:38We generally don't do that.
31:40Um there are some I redevelopment authority, I think does do have some contract mowing out there for some of theirs, like their properties.
31:49Yeah, but our the these new employees would not be tasked with with that.
32:03Our shade tree budget um is on page 59.
32:15Um fact, I believe there's two uh tree removal contracts that will be on your uh what would it be the November 19th council meeting coming up that we set the agenda for this week?
32:30So you'll see two contracts on there for one contract for east side trees and one contract for west side trees, and part of that part of that is funded out of this.
32:47Part well, part of that you'll see when that comes through.
32:49Part of that is a grant fund, and then part of it will be the 727 general fund.
32:55And I believe both of those resolutions will be on your next agenda for the 19th.
32:59Sarah did a lot of work on that.
33:01Yes, and that that actually finishes our general fund, and then next we'll be moving to enterprise.
33:15And then we'll uh we'll walk through all the enterprise funds with the exception of sewer, which we already covered.
33:24So the first one is the stormwater fund.
33:27This is on uh page 69 of the budget book with revenues, and then your expenses are over on page 70.
33:41Uh this fund, uh I think everybody remembers uh stormwater fee uh was passed at the very end of 2022, so it became effective in 2023.
33:55So we just finished we're finishing up our fourth year of having the stormwater fee.
34:01Um what you'll see here between the 2025 and 2026 budget on these operating expenses, line items, is really a lot of rebalancing, so there's a lot of pluses and minuses on some of these.
34:16Um, really all we did here was try to get it.
34:19We had enough of a sample size now for the past couple of years that we started dial in where we were really at on these line items, and you can see there's some of these we had budgets of uh $25,000 we were spending uh much less, and some of them we were budgeted more or less and we were spending more.
34:42So, what you'll see there in the 2026 is we tried to actually get realistic numbers there, so we we made several line item adjustments, but um what about the professional service the professional service?
35:00can see there's some of these we had budgets of uh 25,000 dollars we were spending uh much less and some of them we were budgeted more or less and we were spending more so what you'll see there in the 2026 is we tried to actually get realistic numbers there so we we made several line item adjustments but um what about the professional service the professional service we bumped that one up uh to uh to bring in we anticipate needing maybe some consultant services uh in stormwater in in 2026 um to help with some of our projects in that office um we find more and more that you know consultants are needed on some of these things for instance right now we have we have two stream bank restoration projects going on if anybody's seen them we have one at Roma Park which is uh kind of up behind the east side tops off of uh east 38th Street and then we have another one that took place uh down on the grounds of the wastewater treatment plant uh that's uh the garrison run stream down there and both of those we brought in uh an environmental consultant to do the design and oversight of the stream bank projects so what will be the projects projected for 2026 the projects uh in 2026 what we're what we really have to do there is we're gonna have to continue to dial in a little bit on our MS4 permit which we hold sorry which is our it it's a national pollutant discharge and elimination system permit but we that's an annual it's a permit we hold and we have to do annual reporting on it and so uh a couple years ago we had to put together what's called a a PRP which is a pollutant reduction plan we have to show sediment reduction in the various streams in the city such as Mill Creek Cascade Creek Garrison Run Cemetery Run etc and so we're in the process of meeting those goals both of the stream bank projects that I just talked about are a key part of that um but we're gonna have to do some data reporting on that and pull tie that together so that we can actually pull the numbers together and go forward in some of these future reporting periods.
37:00I believe they gave us a five year window to meet those sediment reduction goals.
37:05Clarification we hired three new people in the stormwater or do we just move people we can use term water money for it.
37:13Well well no if you remember last year we boost uh we moved uh Sarah over to this she I think but she was split I believe and I think we took her out of refuse no and moved her chucky member yeah we probably the fraction of the like the point I think it's not talk about that on the rate uh yeah because it it takes it off of residence was the key thing.
37:38Yeah we shouldn't say that yeah um but no no change there for this year okay so the one the one change you know there was a 478 um council council members we bought a street sweeper so you can see we had 400 000 budgeted in 2025 I believe the street sweeper was I believe around 347 thousand so um that was a kind of a big purchase we had in 25 so 2026 we we lowered that line item back down but as I already said most of these are just some ads and deducts so we didn't have we paid for it yet because it says year to date it we we did okay it's just not okay.
38:30I believe that's why you're you were down to 16,350 was because the street sweeper came out of the 400 wasn't a okay so our our standing balance at the end of is that right Lisa at the end of October I went on to the next thing I gotta go back hold on a minute.
38:50I think it just got reversed like the numbers are backwards.
38:54Yeah so that would be what we spent would be there right now we have left with the year today yeah we oh we did not spend that this year it could be a time right now yeah I think I thought the street sweeper came out of that when did that come in it was a while back we'll look into that and get back to you with that I'll check on it yeah it just looks like that there's a big bill that's gonna come I see that um next is your the sewer we already discussed 77173 so next up is uh refuse and recycling begins on page 79 expenditures are over on page 80 this office we had a we had a small increase in the toll allowance uniform benefits uh that's all contractual um line 4078 machinery equipment
40:00on it yeah because it just looks like that there's a big bill that's gonna come i i see that um next is your the sewer we already discussed 77173 so next up is uh rough use and recycling begins on page 79 expenditures are over on page 80 this office we had a we had a small increase in the toll allowance uniform benefits uh that's all contractual um line 4078 machinery equipment i just got new um pricing on compactors and there they went up uh believe 25 thousand dollars a piece approximately on the compactor so i that's why you see the line of it increased in 2026 by fifty thousand dollars you know we have a accompanying slide for refuse um has our refuse rates quarterly bill uh eighty dollars and seventy three cents the top be the top right corner with all the the comparables going down the right side of uh neighboring communities and I don't know do you want to talk at all about the the refuse increase was it there was it four four oh eight per quarter yeah the refuse increase is driven by the increase in expenses and our staffing goes up contractually every year and uh this is the rate that we need to meet this budget um if you look on the 403 increase would be on the uh five year projection which is at the back of your book on page 92 and we've we've talked about incremental increases each year keeping up with the uh costs as they rise rather than waiting two three four years and having a huge increase which one is that I'm doing it's um the the twenty six budget cost and at the bottom of it oh okay okay right down at the bottom it's the rate per quarter ninety three oh five up from eighty seven oh eight whoops I'm on sewer um eighty seventy three up from uh seventy six sixty five page ninety three is there any way we can ever change that I get calls from single people and senior citizens that only cut one bag of garbage out and they're having a hard time with the increases in the past we talked about maybe selling bags really having charged people that there are a lot of older folks in New York City that put out a country fair big and they're getting hit the same we I know what she's talking about because I hear quite often I understand that we'd have to uh that would take an extensive study to try to figure out who's doing what households are putting out how much trash and all everybody else's prices would have to increase accordingly because we need a certain revenue to cover these costs so I I think like when you look at when you look at the list there where we're at it 80 73 and then comparables I mean you have to remember that we offer you know the unlimited pickup the the recycling the compost and the large item program so we also have a lot of service there and the glass I know is is a dumpster uh they they have those uh like three drop-off locations but and also to address even if this was done as a study to go to a bag system instead of a flat rate uh cities that do that oftentimes have a huge increase in dumping if you're paying per bag people will go and save five dollars back by just dumping that bag and their own
45:03So it also have a lot of service there.
45:06And the glass I know is a dumpster.
45:10Uh they have those uh like three drop-off locations, but also to address even if this was done as a study to go to a bag system instead of a flat rate.
45:19Uh cities that do that oftentimes have a huge increase in dumping.
45:23If you're paying per bag, people will go and save five dollars back by just dumping that bag and their own personal found landfills.
45:32So I mean, even if you were to play with the numbers on this, it's not it's something that you may not want to do anyways, especially you know, is as a matter of litter and dumping around the city.
45:42Yeah, I think that's then we had talked about with code, it becomes another because now we're sending out more code now.
45:47We so I mean there's a reason why none of the other cities do it this that way.
45:54Um the larger municipalities, yeah.
45:59Uh they do that out in the uh in the country, like out in the rural areas.
46:09I think we're able to understand that.
46:11We have to understand the people that are talking to us about it.
46:14Yeah, you know, we can't compare the city of Erie to Fairview or to Milky or to Harbor Creek, because those are all people who have moved up and out of Erie.
46:24So I I understand what everybody's saying about it, but I also understand how these folks feel.
46:31It's there's no real answer to it.
46:34We've got a pay to paper, and everybody it's just unfortunate that the folks at the bottom rung suffer the most at these small increases moving right on, Jason.
46:56Looks like Kathy's correct.
47:05Page 83 in your budget book.
47:08And uh no real changes here.
47:27We budgeted, I think I said this before, we budgeted everything this the same way as it was last year because we um don't know when the contract is going to be signed and what it's what's going to be in this contract.
47:44So uh but we assume we're we're running the golf course, that was part of it.
47:49So yeah, that was a good change.
47:52So yeah, we didn't change anything in there.
47:56Well, wouldn't the agreement wouldn't agreement with the zoo change the budget?
48:08Um the way it's written now, we would still essentially like lease it back for a dollar, and we would run it like we are right now.
48:16So it would still we would it would still be our golf course to run without owning the golf course.
48:25One problem I always had, and I've never seen it.
48:28What is the final plan, the drawings of is the take the four and five holes and make it a total of three part three cores?
48:40You know, I I don't know what they're gonna do.
48:43Neither do they yeah.
48:45I think that's where the two reasons we need to do money back and forth.
48:51I don't think that study exists yet.
48:56Uh the only other thing I have to tell council is uh our our last fund in public works is liquid fuels, and it's it's also listed as uh enterprise fund.
49:10Nothing nothing really to discuss here.
49:13We got our uh letter I think last month with our upcoming uh 2026 allotment from uh from the state, and I believe that got that was plugged in here so that the numbers are revenue should be uh accurate as far as what we anticipate.
49:33So I guess that's that's all of our funds.
49:49That's it then, right?
49:50Any other questions?
49:53All right, thank you.
49:57Budget sessions adjourn.
