Who's not here?

I was gonna yeah, you're right.

That's a really good question.

Mr.

Dunbar.

Are you ready?

I see I see the clock on the wall struck 5 30, so I will call uh this month's meeting of the finance committee to order.

First item on the agenda is call to order, which I think I successfully accomplished.

Roll call.

Um we have uh Eric Stikowitz, uh who's the chairperson I'm sitting in for as vice chair is uh not available.

He is uh out of town, and since he contacted me, I would mark him as excused.

I haven't heard anything from Andrew Dunbar other than the other night.

I know he knew about this meeting, but I haven't heard anything, so I'm assuming we're going to say that he's absent unless he shows up.

We are now to public comment.

We have anybody from the public either here or on Zoom that would like to comment on any items that are coming before us going once.

I don't see anybody showing up on Zoom.

So twice and three times.

I'll call public comment closed.

Consent agenda.

Does anybody see anything on the consent agenda that they would like discussed?

Not seeing anything.

I'll accept the motion to accept the agenda as presented.

There's a motion and second to accept the consent agenda as presented.

All those in favor, aye.

All right.

Against unanimous.

Then let's see, we go to item 260501.

Assessor department supervision transferred from community development director to finance director.

There's attachments that you hopefully had perused.

And I'll open up to who would like to speak on or give us some background uh verbally.

Sure.

I mean, the agenda uh the memo on there kind of spelt it out that Adam wrote uh in collaboration uh with uh myself.

So um ultimately the operational oversight has been uh historically in the community development department.

Um that was when it was a in-house uh assessor, uh full-time FTE here.

Um since going to a contracted service, it's just uh kind of been very minimal, and we started evaluating where does it best uh land have that supervision given the the finance director also incorporates the treasurer position, which has of a lot of working um back and forth with the assessor and a little bit more of the ability to have a uh oversight, it just was felt to do the official uh move here.

Uh as we explained in the Mantowak municipal uh code, it is under finance already.

Uh we just felt operationally this has been being performed since pre-2016.

So um wanted to bring it forth and get council finance slash a council's approval on the move of supervisions.

Um I write Adam or the mayor up if there's anything they want to add to it, but I said the memo kind of spells out the background and the rationale for moving forward.

Anything else?

Adam, you have or mayor?

Anyone have any questions, concerns, or comments?

Motion to approve there's a motion and a second to approve the transfer.

Any other discussion?

Seeing none, all those in favor, aye.

Aye, opposed, nay.

Unanimous.

Uh looking at the agenda.

I forgot I should have perhaps got a motion and a second to approve the uh minutes from the uh previous minutes.

Uh I'm assuming that that that didn't automatically.

You did that with consent, sir.

Oh, so okay.

You're good.

Yep.

I stand corrected, and actually I also sit correct, and you know, when you're old, you got to be able to sit corrected too.

So very good.

Um moving on to item 26-0502 sanitary sewer master plan.

Results and authorization for staff to continue negotiations with chosen firm.

All right.

So uh basically, as I tried to outline in the memo, uh the city has multiple sewer service plan.
