Um I I believe so.

The we received the invoice um for it, and so that's why it's on now instead of previously.

Um I believe that in the past, I mean I know that's been above ten thousand dollars every year, but I'm not quite sure if it was thirteen or if it was eleven or so.

This is for this past groups, yes, sir.

Oh, okay.

And where does that leave that district in terms of its district improvement funds?

Uh number 10.

Okay.

Resolution authorizing renewal of the contract with millennium risk management.

Administer the city's work with comp.

Yes, sir.

Good afternoon, council.

This is a request to renew our annual contract with Millennium Risk Managers.

Um to prices our workers' comp claims.

The amount is $540,726 and 89 cents.

Uh the contract runs from February 1st of each year through January 31st.

And we are requesting to double this up.

The reason being the invoice came in after our last council meeting, and then we didn't have one last week, so I do apologize for that.

Okay.

Uh I understand.

So we didn't have the invoice at the last session.

Correct.

Okay, we have it now.

Yes, but the contract renews Feb one?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

How does this amount compare with the last amount we paid?

It is a little bit, well, it's about $50,000 higher.

Um, and that is due to payroll.

So whenever we raise our salary, um, of course, that's gonna cause the amount that we have to pay to be raised when our employees go out on workers' comp.

So there is a an increase related to that, and then some other claims that were a little bit higher.

Okay.

Jimbo, you just there for little minutes.

Do we have a chance?

Uh no, if you really wanted to change, it would take us a full year to ramp up with uh proposals.

Um the Alabama Municipal Workers Compensation Fund has a not over 90 percent of municipalities, they may be able to 100 by now to just make no other choice, but they give us the best deal.

Okay, and we also do not have a cap, meaning that if we spend over a certain amount for an employee, we have to take the rest.

We have an employee that we spent over five million on, and we were now taking him.

In this year, this is the year that we take the year that we're just finished.

Injury occurred in the late 80s.

We are now over five million just now, and we take him and he will add about 200,000 or more to our yearly amount for the rest of his life.

So that's why it's important to have no cap, and we have no cap with him.

Wow.

Any questions or comments from the members?

Motion.

I'll make a motion.

All in faith.

Thank you.

Say aye.

Aye.

Item is approved.

We are off.

We're on number 12, Ms.

Standridge.

Correct, Judge.

2019 Bournemouth budget revisions.

I really don't want to follow Jimbo.

You just said however.

So the two this 2019 B uh budget revision is in 2019.

We issued, we did a refunding issuance that is 2019 B.

When we do a refunding debt issuance, the amount that can be saved over the life of the loan and interest.

We can either get paid out and lump sum or we can do a debt service reduction.

In 2019, we decided to do a payout and lump sum.

When the accounting and finance department at the time received that information, we budgeted based off of you know par amount to receive.

We did not budget the premium, and we did not obviously didn't budget the interest that we were going to earn as it sat in the proceeds account.

So we are now wrapping up this uh warrant issuance.

We have hit the IRS time limit, and so we need to spend it PDQ.

Um so what we are asking to do with this budget revision is to recognize the interest earned to close out the myriad of projects that have like little change left over after they were completed, and then to go ahead and spend the proceeds as quickly as possible.

We are proposing to take some of the TPD vehicles that have already been budgeted in the Alabama Trust Fund and in the RFFI, move that into here, those are already on order, we've already been working towards those.

We would move to paying them in here and then free up the money in the RFFI.

We would then come back to you with the RFFI budget revision possibly later.

So Mr.

Rosby and I were were discussing um earlier this week that the amount that was free up in the RFFI could possibly go towards the RSA save up.

Um since again it was already earmarked for TPD.

Um as we discussed previously, that is just going to be an ever growing need.

So thank you.

I think you did a good job.

Uh if you that's uh trust me, just a convoluted issue.

We talked about it over phone, I guess yesterday.

Yesterday, yeah, and I um I understand what's going on.

I'm satisfied with it.

If it works out like we've talked about, we had extra money left over that we didn't spend in time.

We've got to we've got to put it somewhere to give it back.

It's gonna she's talking about a series of moves that will allow us to put it towards the RSA debt that we're going to come up with.

Is that fair?

Yes, that's very fair.

And and this will be uh orchestrated like number of moves or a couple of dominoes that will fall with it, but ultimately the amount within the warrant proceeds account for 2019 B, which is what this budget revision is that you're voting on now.

So it's recognized it's recognizing interest income of about 10,000.

It is also updating the warrant proceeds for the premium that was issued in 2019 of 127,000.

Um sorry, interest income was 62,000.

We are then closing all of that, all the other projects out, and we're putting 215,000 to public safety equipment for TPD vehicles.

We will then probably next week come if if council's okay with that, we'll come next week with an RFFI budget revision to move that same 215 into RSA Safe.

Second, all in favor say aye.

Aye, item is approved.

Number 12, yeah, general fund budget revision number six, Mr.

In comparison.

This one's easy.

Um, this one is uh in two separate parts.

We were awarded a grant to for assistance to firefighters that was um applied for training opportunities for the fire department.

We were awarded about 220,000 um, and we have just signed the grant agreement, so we are requesting to budget the income from that grant and then assign it to both travel education and then some overtime that the firefighters will be utilizing for their training opportunities.

Will we get a further brief and breakdown on the programming, or is that it?

I can have Chief Gell provide uh basically what this training is gonna be for us if y'all are aware of.

He can do it subsequent, okay.

We will vote on it now, but I would appreciate uh you know it's a two-minute yeah, you can do it at the next public safety.

Yeah, we're actually gonna break up how we do public safety and upcoming months.

One public safety will focus on TFR, one public safety will focus on TBD, and that way y'all can see how both of the departments are thriving and things that they're doing, and keep everybody more informed on what's going on uh with both departments.

Okay, so we'll add this to the TFR one, the upcoming TFR one.

Okay, the other sorry, but there the there's two parts.

So the second part for this one is um is the movement for Miss Howard's uh district improvement request.

It's about eight hundred and sixty-eight dollars that we're requesting to move out of her previously saved up amount and activate it for the current year.

Thank you.

Motion second all in favor say aye.

Aye.

Item is approved.

That was for both reasons.

Yes, yes.

Okay, is there any other business being brought before finance?
