That thirty thousand dollars, just because uh, as we're looking to kind of finalize terms for some of the upcoming homeowner innovation programs, there's just a lot more kind of legal things to work through in terms of like when we're getting into higher cost projects, there's more things that we have to figure out in terms of how we kind of make everything uh work in compliance with uh various regulations that we might be subject to.

So we're leveraging to the extent possible additional kind of um services that we have available in-house through the city.

Um, but want to make sure that we're kind of fine and a balance of being able to work efficiently and kind of stay on track with timelines for some of those other program terms.

So, I think that's a good idea.

I think we'll probably have a little bit more information uh within our next meeting.

So keep us posting.

All right.

So we need uh a motion for this resolution, correct?

Yep.

We'll entertain a motion.

I'll second.

Any further discussion?

All in favor?

Aye.

Opposed, carried.

All right, let's move on to our operating budget.

All right, so um item number three is a request to amend the fiscal year 25 operating budget, um, not specific to legal services, but to a couple other costs.

Um so what we had previously discussed at uh the finance committee meeting a couple weeks ago.

Um we were just adjusting the amount that was in our uh total line items for directors and officers and liability insurance.

Um the uh final amount that came back was about 175 different than uh what we had budgeted for originally.

Um so we just reduce that from our uh another one of our administrative lines through licensing and uh fees to make that adjustment.

Um there is a copy of the budget that was reviewed uh at our meeting two weeks ago, as well as a second copy of it.

So um, for those of you that were at the meeting, I um had mentioned that just based on where we were at with um projected spend for block challenge applications received so far to date that probably within the next month we were going to need to bump that line up to be able to accommodate those applications.

And as of this morning, we have doubled the amount of applications that we have in hand from where we were at two weeks ago, um, which is great.

Uh we're up to a total of nine applications, 42 participants total, but we're within about uh uh less than $10,000 cushion of what was originally authorized for the program.

Um so we were looking to just kind of bump that amount up.

Obviously, we don't want to approve any applications that would be in excess of the total amount for the program that the board has authorized.

Um we do want to make sure that we're able to kind of turn around reviews of those for people expeditiously as we're receiving them.

So uh rather than uh waiting uh another month, I think we're making a recommendation that we bump up that line for that budget um $50,000 to the direct services line, so it uh works out to about a $55,000 difference total, accounting for the additional admin costs that would be um kind of under the umbrella of the agreement with home headquarters that we would have.

So correct, yeah.

Um and I think that uh as we continue to kind of work through some of the programmatic terms for um what homeowner renovation programs look like.

I think the way that this is broken out now, it contemplates a minor exterior program.

Uh I think that there's some uh room to deliberate the warrants of having a separate distinct exterior program separate from the block challenge program, kind of understanding that we did bump up the budgeted costs a little bit.

Um so I think that those lines are going to kind of continue to uh shift as we work through what program structures look like, but um at the end of the day it's still working out to the same amount that's going to direct assistance to homeowners.

So I think that's that's what we want to see.

I think the applications that we have that are coming in for every dollar that we're putting in so far, we're leveraging about a dollar and forty cents for anticipated spends.

So I think that's that's good.

It's showing that we're getting money off the sidelines, which is what we're kind of trying to accomplish.

So Michelle, forgive me, I just want to make sure I'm following.

So the there's two changes.

One is relative to DNO and liability insurance, right?

And so that's uh adding an additional one seventy-five uh and that is across both insurance lines on the budget.

I'm looking at the budget here.

Yes.

Okay.

And that and that those funds get taken from where?

Uh licenses and fees.

Thank you.

You did say that.

Okay.

Um, and then going up to uh the uh which is not included in the summary, but the um the last page in your packet is reflected on that budget.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Marked is uh version reviewed 922 25.

Um so that just shows kind of where we take those additional.

Thank you.

Where the heck is mine?

In here somewhere, I'll look at yours.

Okay.

Oh, you know what?
