[20-0481 Board and Liaison Updates Board Chairman City of McKinney Chamber of Commerce Community Development Corporation Visit McKinney]
MORNING, MR CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MR PRESIDENT. PAUL GRIMES, CITY MANAGER. FEW ITEMS TO UPDATE YOU ON TONIGHT THE CITY COUNCIL WILL BE OR AT WORK SESSION, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL BE RECEIVING A PRESENTATION BY YOUR PRESIDENT, MR TOCAR, AS WELL AS A SYSTEM MANAGER KIM FLOM. ON OUR NEXT WAVE. IF YOU WILL, OUR NEXT PROGRAM FOR BUSINESS RECOVERY EFFORTS. THIS IS COVERT RELIEF FUNDING. SO IF YOU RECALL UNDER THE CARES ACT, WHICH WAS AN OMNIBUS BILL ADOPTED BY CONGRESS. IN THE SPRING. IT'S A NUMBER OF SMALLER BILLS. WHEN WE SAY SMALLER BILLS. WE TALKED LIKE $150 BILLION THAT WAS THE COVERT RELIEF ACT ITSELF. $150 BILLION THEN FOUND ITS WAY TO COUNTIES OR DIRECT PAYMENTS TO CITIES OF OVER 100 500,000 RESIDENTS. ESO BECAUSE COLIN COUNTIES OVER 500,000 RESIDENTS IT FOUND ITS WAY TO COLLIN COUNTY IS A DIRECT DISPERSEMENT BY THE U. S. TREASURY TO COLLIN COUNTY. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT MET AND SAID, WE'RE GOING TO SHARE MOST OF THESE FUNDS DOWN TO THE CITIES ON DH, SO I SHOULDN'T SAY DOWN TO THE CITIES THEY SHOULD SEE OUT TO THE CITIES ON DH, SO THEY HAVE DONE THAT. AND WHAT. WERE DID WHAT THE COUNTY HAS SAID IS PART OF THAT MONEY NEEDS TO BE FOR HOUSING AND RENTAL RESISTANCE, WHICH THAT PROGRAMME IS UNDERWAY. GENETIC INS GROUP HAS TAKEN A LEADERSHIP ROLE. AND THAT'S $6.9 MILLION IS MCKINNEY'S SHARE. BUT IT'S NOT JUST MCKINNEY. IT'S OUR ZIP CODES THAT WE'VE SORT OF ADOPTED AS PART OF THAT PROGRAM. THE OTHER TRAUNCH OF MONEY IS FOR COVE IT FOR UNBUDGETED REIMBURSEMENT COST FOR THE CITY FOR ANY COSTS THAT WE INCUR. IT. ALSO MONEY IS THAT IT CAN BE USED TO HELP THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY RECOVER FROM THE PANDEMIC S O. THAT DISCUSSION IS TONIGHT ON HOW THAT PROBE WILL BE. STRUCTURED. IS CALLED THE OPEN PROGRAM AND I FORGET WHAT OPEN STANDS FOR, BUT THAT'S THE ACRONYM. ON THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED AT WORK SESSION THIS AFTERNOON. UM AND THEN THE OBJECTIVE IS A COUNCIL ADOPTED AN UPCOMING MEETING VERY SOON, AND IT'LL BE KICKED OFF BY JULY 1. SO MORTAR FOLLOW ON THAT. BUT THAT IS AH, VERY HELPFUL PROGRAM THAT I THINK[00:05:01]
OUR COMMUNITY WILL FIND USEFUL. THE OTHER PART IS MCKINNEY STRONG PROGRAM THAT IS MONEY THAT CDC HAS PUT IN PLACE. THAT MONEY WHO WERE ALREADY IN VERSION 2.0 OF THAT PROGRAM.FIRST ROUND WAS IN MAY ON DH. THEN THE SECOND ROUND IS OPEN FROM JUNE 8TH TO JUNE 18TH SO THE WINDOW IS STILL OPEN FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS. AND THEN THAT THAT'S A SMALL GRANT FOR HOME BASED BUSINESSES UP TO $1000 FOR MERCHANTS OR SMALL BUSINESSES UP TO $1500. AH, AND AGAIN, THAT IS, THAT'S THE SECOND. HEART OF SECOND ROUND OF THAT PARTICULAR PROGRAM, SO MCKINNEY'S ALREADY BEEN GETTING MONEY OUT THE DOOR AND BEING RESPONSIVE. TO SOME OF THE NEEDS OF OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY. UM. JUST A REMINDER THAT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WE ALWAYS WELCOME APPLICATIONS FROM ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN SERVING MCKINNEY IN SOME WAY ON A BORDER COMMISSION. COUNCIL POINTS, MOST OF THEM EVERY YEAR ARE REAPPOINTS EVERY YEAR, SOME POSITIONS BY STATUTE OR TWO YEAR TERMS, BUT MANY OF OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS OR ONE YEAR TERMS, IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. FOR FOLKS THAT YOU MAY KNOW OR EAGER TO SERVE OR ALWAYS RECEIVING NEW PEOPLE. NEW PEOPLE MOVING INTO MCKINNEY.
WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO GET INVOLVED ON DSO, THOSE APP THAT APPLICATION PERIOD CLOSES THIS.
FRIDAY, JUNE 19TH SO IT CLOSED THIS FRIDAY JUNE 19. UM ANOTHER COUPLE OF TIMES I WANTED TO SHARE. I HAD LUNCH LAST WEEK WITH DANIEL JONES, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF ENCORE WIRE, WHICH IS JUST. I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE SUCCESS. INCREDIBLE GROWTH. IT'S A GREAT SUCCESS STORY OF A HOMEGROWN COMMUNITY. ENCORE WIRE STARTED RIGHT HERE IN MCKINNEY. THEY'RE RIGHT NOW BUILDING A 733,000 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE. UM, THAT WILL SERVE AS THE CENTRE FOR THEIR FINISHED GOODS DISTRIBUTION IS BASICALLY GOING TO BE THEIR SERVICE CENTER. WILL BE VALUED AT $52 MILLION. WHEN IT'S COMPLETED. IT'S ON THE NORTH WEST CORNER OF AIRPORT DRIVE AND ELM STREET. ELM IS GOING TO BE ABANDONED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. THEY PROVE THAT AT THE LAST MEETING, IT'S CONDITIONAL. THAT MEANS ENCORE HAS TO BUILD A NEW ST AND WE HAVE TO ACCEPT IT, AND THEN ONCE THAT'S DONE, WE WILL ABANDON THE EXISTING. PORTION OF ELLEN, WHICH WILL SERVICE AND CIRCULATORY ROADWAY FOR THEM WITHIN THEIR CAMPUS, AND L'M WILL BE RECONSTRUCTED AND WILL CREATE CONNECTIONS FOR BUMPUS STREET AND GARY STREETS. SO EXCITING PROJECT ON COURSE, DOING VERY WELL AND I THINK THE PRESIDENT CDC MYSELF AND, UH, SYSTEM MANAGER FLYING WILL BE MEETING WITH DANIEL JONES AND HIS STAFF NEXT WEEK OR TWO. LAST ITEM I WANTED TO MENTION ON HERE IS THAT AS OF MONDAY, JUNE 15TH WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED A NEW PAYMENT SYSTEM FOR WATER BILLS. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE. GOT ON BOARD THIS WEEKEND WAS A LITTLE CHOPPY SEAS TENDS THESE THINGS TEND TO BE THAT WAY. PAY MENTIS IS OUR NEW SYSTEM. IT IS LIVE. IT IS OPERATING. IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES, LET US KNOW. BUT THE NEW SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE MORE USER FRIENDLY. AND IT'S GONNA OFFER MORE PAYMENT OPTIONS IN AN 18 MONTH BUILDING HISTORY.
AUTO PAY USERS MUST CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. THAT'S THE DOWNSIDE IS IF YOU HAVE AUTO PAY. NOW, YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM. ANYWAY, THAT IS ALL I HAVE, AND I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. RUSSIANS FROM SCRAPS. NO, THANKS. ALL RIGHT.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EVERY MORNING. GOOD MORNING, BOARD CHAIRMAN PETER WELL, I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE BRIEF, BUT THERE'S QUITE A FEW THINGS HAPPENING AT THE CHAMBER, AND I'D LIKE TO KEEP YOU UP TO DATE ON, ESPECIALLY SINCE A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING. HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY SHIFTED OR CHANGED. WE'VE BEEN ADAPTING AS EVERYONE HAS DURING COVERT 19 OUR NEXT QUARTERLY LUNCH AND I THINK IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY. INTERESTING AND RELEVANT AND TIMELY AND IMPORTANT ON THAT IS GOING TO BE THE STATE OF EDUCATION WE HAD. WE HAD ACTUALLY ALREADY CHOSEN THAT TOPIC. PRE COVE IT AND NOW WITH WHAT HAS HAPPENED, I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS SURROUNDING HOW WHAT EDUCATION IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AS WE MOVE INTO THE FALL AND THE RAMIFICATIONS OF WHAT? HOW WE DELIVER OUR EDUCATION TO R. K THROUGH 12 AS WELL AS OUR HIGHER ED. WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE A LONG TERM, SO I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A VERY INTERESTING TOPIC. WE'RE STILL FINALIZING OUR SPEAKERS ON DH. WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO GIVING YOU THAT INFORMATION ONCE WE HAVE THAT FINALIZED. OUR NEXT GOVERNMENT LEGISLATIVE ISSUES MEETING I ALSO THINK IS GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT. WE'RE GOING TO HEAR AN UPDATE FROM OUR SHARED LOBBYIST, OUR LEGISLATIVE CONSULTANT ANGELA HILL. SHE'S GOING TO BE PROVIDING SOME INFORMATION ABOUT. THE STATE'S BUDGET, MOVING FORWARD TO THE LEGISLATURE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND. OBVIOUSLY THAT'S GOING TO BE HOT ON EVERYONE'S MIND SINCE THE STATE IS PRIMARILY FUNDED THROUGH SALES, TAX REVENUE, AND AS YOU ARE
[00:10:05]
VERY AWARE OF SALES TAX REVENUE. HIM IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE AT THE SAME LEVELS AS WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, SO THE SHAPE OF OUR LEGISLATIVE SESSION IS GOING TO BE QUITE DIFFERENT ON 2021. I WANT TO THANK CHAIRMAN KINSA PURA FOR JOINING US ON OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. WEBINAR, AS YOU KNOW, IN THE OLD WAY OF DOING THINGS WE WOULD HAVE HAD SERVED MCKENNEY AND WE WOULD HAVE HAD. A LARGE COMMUNITY WIDE FAIR WITH BOOTHS FROM ALL OF OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR NON PROFITS AND MCKENNEY THAT WE COULD NOT DO, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE GETTING INFORMATION OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. AND SO WE WORKED WITH WITH IMPRESSED WITH CITY SECRETARY WAS. DID AN EXCELLENT JOB, PARTNERING WITH HER A CZ WELLS KIM FLOM, THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, AND SO WE'RE KIND OF RESHAPED AND RETOOLED IN, DID A WEBINAR THAT NOW? ACTUALLY WE COULD BE RECORDED AND CAN LAST ON OUR WEBSITES THAT. ALLOWED FOR OUR BORE OUR CHAIRS OF ALL OF THE DIFFERENT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THEY DO ENCOURAGE VOLUNTEERISM AND HOPEFULLY GET MORE PEOPLE ENGAGED IN OUR PROCESS, SO I THINK IT. TURNED OUT. WELL WE'VE LEARNED THAT ZOOM WEBINARS ARE A WHOLE PRODUCTION THAT IT'S NOT QUITE LIKE YOU JUST TURN ON, FLIP A SWITCH AND HAVE A MEETING. THERE'S A LOT OF BEHIND THE SCENES WORK THAT GOES THROUGH THOSE TYPES OF EVENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY. FLOW SEAMLESSLY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION, AND WE APPRECIATE THE BOARD. I MEAN THAT THE CITY FOR ALSO PARTNERING WITH US AND THAT ON THE NONPROFIT PIECE, I WILL SAY WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH VOLUNTEER MCKINNEY. BECAUSE WE THINK THAT'S A NATURAL PARTNERSHIP SO THAT WE DON'T LEAVE OUT ARE NONPROFITS AND GIVING OUR COMMUNITY AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN HOW THEY CAN ENGAGE WITH NONPROFITS THAT. WE NEED THEM NOW, MORE THAN EVER DURING THESE TIMES, SO THAT'S BE LOOKING FOR SOME OF THE CHANGES THERE. WE ARE. I LIKE TO CALL IT RE OFFICE ING NOT RE OPENING BECAUSE OUR CHAMBER HAS ALWAYS BEEN OPEN FOR BUSINESS HAVE DURING THIS SHUTDOWN, A QUARANTINE. SO WE ARE. WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED A RE OFFICE ING PLAN TO DO IT SAFELY. WE HAVE STAFF COMING IN ALTERNATING COMING INTO THE OFFICE OR OFFICE NOW IS. STAFFED ON DSO. WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE PEOPLE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, OBVIOUSLY ALWAYS ANSWERED THE PHONES, EMAILS AND PLENTY OF SOON MEETINGS TO PHILIP OUR CALENDARS TO KEEP EVERYTHING ELSE GOING. WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR MCKINNEY RESTAURANT COUNSEL THAT WAS RECENTLY FORMED BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION. WE'RE IN TO HELP SUPPORT OUR RESTAURANT'S DURING THIS TIME, AND THAT'S WE'VE BEEN MEETING ACTUALLY ON A WEEKLY BASIS. WE'VE CONNECTED THEM. THANKS TO DD AT VISIT MCKINNEY WITH BRITAIN, ANTHONY, WHO WAS ON THE GOVERNOR'S HE IS ON THE GOVERNOR STRIKE FORCE FOR REOPENING TEXAS. SO IT'S BEEN. GREAT TO HAVE KIND OF AN INSIDER. LOOK AT WHAT? HOW THE GOVERNOR IS MAKING DECISIONS AS THEY LOOK AT RE OPENING RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL AND OFFICES AND EVENTS AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS SO WE CAN ALSO PROVIDE INPUT. FROM OUR CORNER OFCO TEXAS. TEXAS IS A VERY BIG STATE, SO I KNOW THE GOVERNOR HAS TO MAKE A LOT OF DECISIONS FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH 254 COUNTIES. IT'S NOT QUITE THE EASIEST TASK, BUT IT'S GOOD THAT WE'VE HAD THAT THAT. CONNECTION THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MEET WITH HIM ON. BUT OBVIOUSLY ALL OF OUR ONLINE PRODUCTS CONTINUE. TEO REALLY IS SKYROCKET IN TERMS OF PEOPLE USING IT. OUR MCKINNEY BACK TO BUSINESS PAGE, WHICH STARTED OUT AS A COVERT 19 RESOURCE PAGE, AND THEN WE MORPHED INTO SOMETHING MUCH LARGER THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS AT CENTIPEDE DIGITAL WHO HELPED TAKE THAT PAGE AND MAKE IT A MICRO SITE. WE'RE SEEING THE TRAFFIC ON THAT INCREASE, WITH OVER 50,000 HITS A WEEK, SO WE KNOW THAT THE CONTENTS THERE. PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR THAT INFORMATION AND THEY'RE ACCESSING IT. JUST ANOTHER WAY. WE CAN ALSO HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE GRANT PROCESS TO THE CITIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO REALLY UTILIZE TECHNOLOGY AND. BECAUSE WE CAN'T QUITE DO ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IN PERSON.WE'RE JUST REFORMAT AND RETOOLING AND THANK GOODNESS FOR TECHNOLOGY SO THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. STILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT BUSINESSES WITH THE RESOURCE IS THAT THEY NEED. AND WITH THAT I CAN GO INTO GREAT DETAIL ABOUT ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT WERE CHANGING, LIKE OUR NEW TEACHER WELCOME BREAKFAST AND OUR NEW MEMBER SHOWCASES AND HOW ARE REVAMPING THOSE? BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME. BUT I DO AND I'LL JUST REMIND EVERYBODY THAT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON TO IS REALLY MAKING A PUSH FOR THE CENSUS. I THINK, UNFORTUNATELY, DURING THIS TIME THAT HASN'T GOTTEN QUITE THE ATTENTION THAT IT DESERVES AND NEEDS SO WE WILL
[00:15:05]
BE CONTINUING TO EDUCATE PEOPLE AND FROM THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THINGS TO MAKE SURE THEY THOUGHT THEIR SENSES IT'S VERY IMPORTANT, SO WITH THAT I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. JUST A STATEMENT. I WANT TO SAY THAT. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW. MANY ORGANIZATIONS THAT RELY ON HUMAN CONTACT MORE THAN YOURS AND. YOU KNOW, I'M A BIG FAN, AND WE'RE JUST REMEMBER, AND I SO APPRECIATE IT. THE LAKES. YOU GUYS HAVE GONE TO UNDERSTAND YOU'RE STILL FEELING THIS OUT. EVERYONE HAS A GREAT REASON TO BE PROUD OF OUR CHAMBER. HOW YOU'VE. HANDING YOURSELF THROUGH THIS AND WE GET TO YOU GET VALUE.

WE ALSO.YES, THANK YOU. YES, THAT HAPPENED TO CHAMBER. CHANNEL CONVERSATION REALLY? WELL, A LOT OF. ONLINE. WAY TO DO THINGS, BUT. KATHY AND LISA. GREAT JOB. TOGETHER. ALL THAT WOMEN ARE YOU? PANEL, SO WE MODERATE. I THINK ACTUALLY. AT THE END, WE ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF TIMES. IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO RUN OUT OF TIME. QUESTIONS IN THE QUEUE THAT PEOPLE WERE LISTENING SO WE MIGHT VERY WELL BE DOING IT. FOLLOW. I DEFINITELY THINK WE SHOULD. I MEAN, I THINK ONE OF THE PANELLISTS THAT I WAS JUST WARMING UP. IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE I THINK BECAUSE OF THESE TIMES BECAUSE THE TOPIC WE HAD. TIX PRE CODED. OF COURSE IT WAS GOING TO BE AN IN PERSON MEETING ON DH. THEN WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED IN OUR WORLD IS CHANGED, TRIED NOT TO USE SOME OF THE CLICHE IS LIKE NEW NORMAL AND. UNPRECEDENTED BUT THOSE THOSE WORDS ARE THERE FOR A CERTAIN REASON. BUT DURING THESE TIMES WITH THIS NEW NORMAL. I THINK IT WAS KIND OF YOU KIND OF PUT THE FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. AND THAT WAS THE TOPIC. AND NOW IT WAS EVEN MOHR. YOU KNOW, FRONT OF MIND FOR SO MANY PEOPLE AND MORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN WE KNOW THAT THINGS ARE CHANGING AND HOW ARE THEY CHANGING AND. ON DH. HOW ARE WE GOING TO LIVE IN THIS NEW KIND OF ENVIRONMENT? SAID THANKYOU. PETER DID I THOUGHT IT WAS A FANTASTIC PANEL AND WE'VE RECORDED IT SO WE COULD DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

I'LL HAVE THE NEXT ONE SPORT MEETING THE REVISED. I GUESS THIS YEAR WHICH THESE ARE SOME OF OUR EXISTING METRIC BASED ON THOSE GUYS. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK IS INTERESTING IS OUR. OUR CURRENT INVESTMENT PROJECTS. WE EXPECTED THAT THIS YEAR WOULD TURN INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE SALARY HERE WITH PROJECTS. AND YOU KNOW, WE HAD A GOAL OFF JUST JUST NORTH OF $200 MILLION THIS YEAR HAPPY THROUGH THE YEARS WHERE $3 MILLION IN PRODUCT IN CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOR A DOWN YEARS.PERSPECTIVE, BREXIT DO PRETTY WELL.

THERE'S NO PROJECT EXPENDITURES. THE REVENUES WERE 1.3 MILLION EXPENDITURES FOR 400 THOUSANDS. THAT'S IN THAT PROPHET OF CLOSE TO 900,000 FOR THE. MONTH OF APRIL. MOVING ONTO CELS TAX. THIS IS COOL TO THE COLLECTIONS FOR APPLE TO THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, SO WE HAD A PRE COVE IN ALL THAT STUFF. WE HAD A 28.2% INCREASE. OVER LAST YEAR. A LOT OF THAT IS FROM MODERN ADJUSTMENTS. SO REALLY, THAT'S HAD BEEN APPLIED TO PREVIOUS MONTHS, BUT WE ALL COLLECTED IT IN FEBRUARY. EVEN WITHOUT THAT, WE'D STILL SEE ABOUT A 10% INCREASE, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN ALL ARE SISTER CITIES, WHICH IS A TREND WE'VE BEEN SEEING, SO THAT'S[00:30:01]

[20-0485 Consider/Discuss/Act on MEDC FY21 Budget]
TAKE IT. OK, I'LL BE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSS ACT ON THE IT'S COOL.YOU'RE 21. THE BUDGET WAS CASHED IN YOUR PACKET. SO AGAIN. MORNING, EVERYBODY S O, WHERE THIS IS OUR PROPOSED BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR FOR THE 2021 YEARS. THE NOTABLE THINGS ARE GIVEN THE CURRENT CURRENT STATUS OF THE ECONOMY FROM FROM COVE. IT SALES TAX REVENUES PROJECTED TO BE DOWN FOR NEXT YEAR. SO AND NORMALLY IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS WE'VE BEEN TRENDING UP IN SALES TAX COLLECTIONS FROM A POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. JUST LOOKING AT HOW COVE IT HAS AFFECTED OTHER ECONOMIES AROUND AROUND THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD. WORKING WITH FINANCE. WE'RE LOOKING TO TAKE A MORE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TOWARDS NEXT YEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T OVEREXTEND OURSELVES FROM AN OBLIGATIONS POINT OF VIEW. SO. LOOKING AT OUR LAST YEAR'S ALLOCATED BUDGET. WE BUDGETED 14.8 MILLION. THIS YEAR. WE'RE ROLLING THAT BACK SLIGHTLY TO ABOUT 14.2 MILLION. INSTEAD OF MOVING FORWARD WITH WHAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD AS A, UM, ABOUT 4 TO 5% INCREASE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR, SO IT'S NOT A HUGE. REDUCTION AND WHAT THE BUDGETARY NUMBERS ARE. SO WE DID GO THROUGH AND MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BUDGET TO A COMEDY FOR THAT, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE HAVING TO CUT ABOUT $450,000. OUT OF THE BUDGET FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR. AND YOU COULD SEE FROM THE HIGHLIGHTED AREAS WITHIN THE BUDGET ARE THE AREAS THAT WE'VE MADE ADJUSTMENTS. YOU HAVE THAT ONE. OKAY, THIS ONE. UM AND JUST WALKING THROUGH SOME SOMEWHERE WE REALIZED OF THE MAJORITY OF THE SAVINGS IN THE BUDGET WAS FROM OUR FULL TIME PERSONNEL COSTS. SO WE HAVE WE CURRENTLY HAVE. EIGHT, PLUS A CONTRACT EMPLOYEE ON THE CURRENTLY ON STAFF. WE DO HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL POSITIONS. THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO HIGHER WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE THOSE POSITIONS FILLED, BUT THAT WAS OUR DIRECTOR, BUSINESS RETENTION AND DIRECTOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. WE DID NOT REHIRE THOSE POSITIONS WHEN WE HAD OUR LATEST TRANSITION WITH THOSE, BUT THEY JUST THEY STILL REMAINED IN OUR BUDGET AS LINE ITEM SO THEY WERE FUNDED POSITIONS, SO WE WERE CARRYING THOSE COSTS. AZZAN ALLOCATION. BASICALLY WORKING WITH FINANCE, WE WERE ABLE TO. ASK THEM IF THEY WOULD NOT REMOVE THOSE POSITIONS IN CASE WE NEED THEM IN THE FUTURE, BUT JUST DEFUND THEM FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, SO WE WILL NOT HIRE THOSE POSITIONS IN THE NEXT BUDGET YEAR IF WE IF WE LOOKED AND IF WE SEE THAT WE NEED ADDITIONAL STAFF GREAT FUTURE YOU. CAN GO BACK AND WE CAN REFUND THOSE POSITIONS. WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND RECREATE THEM. JUST REFUND TO THEM SO THAT WAS ABLE TO SAVE JUST UNDER JUST OVER. $240,000 OUT OF OUR BUDGET.
THANK YOU. AND THEN WE ALSO ELIMINATED THE INTERN POSITION, WHICH WAS A PAID INTERN POSITION FOR ABOUT $25,000 A YEAR. WE. TOOK DOWN SOME REDUCE SOME OF THE UM. FOOD AND NON TRAVEL BECAUSE WE PLAN TO HAVE BECAUSE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING LESS IN PERSON MEETING SO WE SAW WE TOOK ABOUT $5000 OUT OF THAT ACCOUNT CAPITAL EQUIPMENT WE JUST RECENTLY OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS HAVE GONE THROUGH A EQUIPMENT REFRESH WITH GETTING NEW LAPTOPS AND COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE FOR THE OFFICE, SO WE DON'T SEE A FUTURE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL
[00:35:03]
TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT MOVING FORWARD IN THE NEXT YEAR. WE WILL SAVE SOME MONEY THERE. UM OBVIOUSLY WITH WITH COVERT, IT'S A LITTLE UNCERTAIN AS TO TRAVEL IN TRAINING FOR THE NEXT YEAR ABOUT WHAT TRADE SHOWS AND EVENTS ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE OFFERED. IF NOT, IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE DELAYED, SO WE. REDUCED OUR TRAVELING TRAINING'S BUDGET BY ABOUT $30,000. UM. SAME THING WITH PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTOR SERVICES. THERE WAS SOME ITEMS IN THERE THAT WE HAD PLACEHOLDERS THAT WE. WE DIDN'T DIDN'T THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED THINGS LIKE EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRMS, WHATNOT WE HAD ALLOCATED AS A RESERVE FUND IN THERE. WE DON'T PLAN ON USING THOSE FOR THAT FOR THE NEXT YEAR, SO ALL IN ALL WE WERE ABLE TO CUT OUT ABOUT 493,100. WHICH AT THE END OF THE DAY GAVE US A. $75 PROPOSED $35 SURPLUS. BUT RECENTLY WE WENT BACK IN AND TO IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE EFFORTS TO PROVIDE COVER. BUSINESS MONEY FOR COVERT RESPONSE TO BUSINESS NEEDS. WE ALLOCATED AH $1,000,000 IN OUR MARKETING. MARKETING FUND TIO RESERVE. FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO SERVE THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY FOR A BUSINESS RELIEF THROUGH COVERT. SO WE HAVE THAT YOUR MARKED IN THE. IN THE BUDGET UNDER MARKETING, YOU'LL SEE THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL $1,000,000 LINE ITEM THERE FOR THE COVETED 19 RELIEF FUND FOR STARTING OCTOBER 1. AND. THAT WILL BE USED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. WHETHER THROUGH CONTINUING THE FUND THE EXISTING GRANT PROGRAM THAT WE'RE DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW. OR SERVING A IN ADDITIONAL CAPACITY TO HELP. BUSINESS RELIEF. WE'RE STILL WORKING IT WELL. CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH THAT WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND CITY COUNCIL, BUT WE DO HAVE THOSE FUNDS RESERVED FOR NEXT YEAR. AND SO YOU'LL SEE AT THE END OF SO WE HAVE A. RIGHT NOW. A 999,920. DEFICIT PROPOSED FOR NEXT YEAR. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THE $1,000,000 THAT WERE THAT'S REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT $1,000,000 FOR THE COVERT RELIEF. WE PLAN TO DO IS, UM. YOU FEEL GOOD IN THE CASTRO? IS HE AT THE. WE HAVE ALL OF OUR PROPOSED CASH FLOW STATEMENTS FOR WHAT WAY HAVE PROJECTED AND PROJECT COMMITMENTS THAT WE'LL BE PAYING OUT. WE HAVE. AH WE BUDGET $8 MILLION A YEAR FOR THAT. UM. LAST YEAR, WE ALLOCATED AN ADDITIONAL 4.5 $1,000,000 INTO THAT FUND FROM OUR PRIOR YEARS UNALLOCATED PROJECT FUNDS, SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE. CURTAIN TIME FOR THAT AT $12.8 MILLION. DO TIO SOME BIG PAYMENTS WITH THAT WE HAD SCHEDULED FOR THIS YEAR, MAINLY THE SUPPORT OF OUR INDEPENDENT BANK PROJECT, BUT WE DO HAVE REMAINING FUNDS. IT SHOWS HERE WE HAVE $3.4 MILLION THAT WE. HAVE UNALLOCATED. AS OF THIS YEAR, WE WILL TAKE $1 MILLION OF THAT. AND TRANSFERRED TO TRANSFER IT A T END OF THE YEAR TO THAT MARKETING FUND TO COVER THAT $1,000,000 FOR THE BUSINESS SUPPORT AS WELL AS TAKE THE REMAINING $2.4 MILLION IN ROLE THAT INTO THE PROJECT'S BUDGET. FOR NEXT YEAR. SO SHOWS RIGHT NOW THAT IF WE DIDN'T DO THAT, WE WOULD ONLY HAVE $324,000 REMAINING IN UNALLOCATED PROJECT FUNDS FOR NEXT YEAR. AND WE WANT TO GIVE OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A BUFFER THAN THAT. SO TYPICALLY ANY REMAINDER IN THAT CATEGORY WOULD FALL INTO OUR FUND BALANCE, BUT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THAT MONEY AND JUST ALLOCATED TO OUR PROJECT'S BUDGET NEXT YEAR. SO WE HAVE AH, GOOD CUSHION FOR ANY ADDITIONAL PROJECTS THAT COME THROUGH. SO WHEN THAT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, WE WILL RETURN TO SHOWING A $75 SURPLUS FOR NEXT YEAR. IF ALL GOES TO PLAN, AND I WILL NOTE THAT. BECAUSE OF OUR TYPICALLY WE.AIM TO PROVIDE A BUDGET THAT IS HAS OPERATING EXPENSES AT LESS THAN 20% OVER OVERALL REVENUE BECAUSE OF OUR SUPPORT FOR THE. COVERED RELIEF, WHICH IS A VERY IMPORTANT NEED RIGHT NOW. THAT IS GOING TO TAKE OUR OUR TOTAL. OPERATING EXPENSES TO 21.3% SO I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST TIME IN IN OUR M E D C HISTORY THAT WE HAVE EXCEEDED OUR 20% GUIDELINE FOR THAT. BUT JUST JUST NOTED THERE THAT IT IS SPECIFICALLY FOR COVET REALLY FUN. SO FEEL THAT. MORE THAN ENOUGH JUSTIFICATION FOR GOING OVER OUR POLICY, BUT JUST BE NOTED THERE THAT WE WILL. WE WILL EXCEED THAT 20% FOR THIS YEAR. BUT FRONT FOR A GOOD CAUSE. SO I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO AGAIN THANK STAFF. GREAT WORK YOU DID ON
[00:40:02]
BUDGET TAKE NECESSARY STEPS TO GET OUR OPERATING EXPENSES REDUCED COMMENSURATE WITH OUR EXPECTED SHORTFALL IN REVENUES. AND. AGAIN, WE DO OUT GREAT VERY EFFICIENTLY. UNDER 20% DARLING, 17 81 OFF ONE TIME, HOPEFULLY ONCE IN A LIFETIME. GREAT WORK. SO, UM. ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BUDGET. I HAVE A QUESTION. JUST A FINANCE COMMITTEE HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS FOR ANY MEETINGS THAT YOU GUYS HAD? TRACY WAIT. WE THOUGHT THE ALLOCATION OF.DOLLARS UP TO JUSTIFY WAY DISCUSSED THE ONE OF OUR PERCENT EXPENSES AND WE THOUGHT THAT. WITH THIS TYPE OF SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN, IT WAS MORE OF A NON ISSUE ONE TIME.
THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR THE COMMUNITY. HERS MAJORS. FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE HAD REALLY GOOD, MAYBE EXTRACTED A GREAT JOB. INITIALLY KIND OF CUTTINGS BUDGET AND THEN ALSO. KIND OF OFF. I'M HAVING SOME CONTINGENCIES IN PLACE SO THAT PATIENTS BY SOME SUSPECTS NUMBERS ACTUALLY. ABOUT. WE'RE ACTUALLY THINK CHANCES ARE YOU'RE STILL IN MY HEAD. ON OUR BUDGET PROCESS OF THIS SCHOOL. SO SHOULD ANYTHING CHANGE THANKS 30 DAYS NEXT MONTH.
REVISIONS, BUT RIGHT NOW FOUR. NO ONE ELSE. I THINK WE'RE GOOD PLACE FINANCIALLY. SEX WORK AGAIN. THANKS, DAD. EXCUSE ME SO. ALL THAT BEING SAID EMOTIONS THROUGH THE BUDGET.
