Miss Coral.

Here, Miss Yanko.

Here.

Okay.

Um this evening I thought what we would do is let's start up where we left off, which is finalizing the parks budget, and then we can go through the competitive bidding and then finish with the law director.

And I know we have some people here that may want to speak on the competitive bidding.

So with that, um we've got um I think we have the correct version of this.

The only question I had was in the last line in or out.

Um what Sharon has, right, Sharon?

That was what we believe was the final final.

Right, with that last line left in questions of on that version that we have up.

Okay.

With that, does anybody want to make a motion to approve?

I'll make the motion to approve.

Is it item sixteen?

Yes.

Item sixteen, item sixteen.

Second.

Sure.

Ms.

Yanko.

Yes, Miss Coral.

Yes, Mr.

Dufferin.

I have a question.

Okay.

I I apologize.

It says no more than forty percent of the annual allocation may be used for the operation.

And we're talking about only taken out it's we're we're talking about income tax revenue.

So is there if if the city is then contributing or subsidizing the parks.

So what we're doing is we're allowing some of the expense that comes out of the general fund to get paid for out of that seven percent, up to forty percent, which then opens up some of the dollars, correct?

Shelley, that can be used because that's been the issue that that's there's been a constraint because the operating expense has grown so dramatically that it's starving off some of the other funding for other departments.

And so this allows some of that then to be some of the expense dollars to be funded out of the seven percent.

It's okay, but we have we're gonna have two budgets though.

We're gonna have an income tax budget and then a budget that includes the city's revenue that is subsidizing that parks, right?

You have two I'll let Shelley talk.

You have two I'll let Shelley talk you're taking money today out of two lines for the parks.

Correct.

So currently, as it stands, we have the income the parks capital income tax fund, and then we have the general fund.

So this seven percent it's in the charter goes into the parks capital fund, and we're saying up to 40 percent of that can be used for parks operating.

That is saying no more than 40 percent of the seven percent can be used for parks operating.

So it's preserving 60 percent of that for capital purposes, which is the first portion.

Oh and then you're shifting those.

So it says no more than 40 percent of the annual allocation, which is referenced in number one, which is um I'm sorry, and referenced in B, which is the seven percent.

Okay, but it says annual income tax revenue allocated or assigned, then it says no more than the annual allocation.

It doesn't necessarily refer directly to the income tax allocation because you're gonna have more allocation for the parks as a result of subsidizing from the city's general fund.
