Did you find a pot of gold anywhere?

Sorry.

Just wondering.

Hoping that you did, so you could share with the county.

Officer of Trucky Meadows Fire Protection District for the record.

And I'm here to present the final budget.

That the I didn't do a full assessment of changes from prior presentation to this presentation because there was just one change.

And it was a correction to the uh the amount that I calculated for the fund transfer from the general fund to the capital projects fund per fund policy.

I did 4% instead of 4.33%.

And the change totals 104,502 dollars.

And that is reflected in the budget today and the uh budget numbers and the budget schedules for the state.

Is that the only change?

That's the only change.

Do you want to see the full presentation again?

If we already just saw this, you're welcome to do that.

I don't want to stop you from doing this, but maybe like highlight.

We'll take top line is what we're hearing.

Top line.

No bottom top.

Well, it's all about the bottom line, right?

Exactly.

That see, that's why you got it.

That's exactly my point.

I've done this three times now, and I can't get the clicker to work.

Maybe I am pushing the forward button.

See, maybe I had a little deja vu.

Oh, I think that it's well.

Oh, there you go.

So you guys have already seen this slide, and top level, the uh projected real property uh the projected property taxes is increasing by 5.8% over prior prior year's projection.

Um general fund revenues was already discussed in the staff report.

We're projecting the or we're um forecasting the budget to be 59.6 million general fund expenditures were projecting to be 56.4 million.

That does include the transfer out for the additional 100,000.

Um we have discussed previously the cost saving measures that we've taken in fiscal 26.

Um, high level to include the to include the OPEB trust contribution that we are not paying because we are funded at 92 percent, um, and additional actions of some programs that were put on pause during fiscal 26.

Um, and then we're projecting to be fiscal 26 to be favorable of 4.9 million.

General fund tentative budget revenues.

Um, we are projected to be appropriate or our budget revenues projected to exceed 26 by 4.2 million, primarily due to property tax growth.

Um, and then the consolidated taxes and increase in consolidated taxes, and then the addition, of course, of the north of township 22 revenue estimate.
