Well, Carl, be a 4:00 Highlander fire. 00:00:06
Protest to Tection District. 00:00:10
Um to order? 00:00:13
So I'll stand in for the pledge. 00:00:15
Flag United States of America. 00:00:21
One nation under God. 00:00:26
Everything is. 00:00:29
So we'll call Rubinoff and he'll go through the fire behind her fire district. 00:00:35
2024 budget. 00:00:45
Numbers and rates with us. 00:00:47
I'm not sure how much you want to know because it's still kind of confusing me the new districts. 00:00:51
Taking off 2 papers. 00:00:55
So it's still a little a little funky. 00:00:57
What was advertised was advertising big because? 00:01:00
You know the time we didn't know anything, so you had to have big enough to protect yourself, right? 00:01:03
I know we've we've communicated a little bit. We're getting closer to real rates, which means it's gonna be it's gonna cap out of 00:01:08
1 every now. 00:01:11
Um. 00:01:16
And then the ATV's are all done, so we know. 00:01:17
True revenues. 00:01:20
We're looking at cash balances of the two districts and figure out how much we're going to use that to fund the budget. 00:01:21
So. 00:01:26
So just. 00:01:27
Real quick question. 00:01:28
Greenville rates staying the same. 00:01:30
It will not go any higher with the current Greenville General. So it it yeah, so it's it's the same. It should come the next year, 00:01:32
it should come down some. 00:01:36
Because the miscellaneous. 00:01:40
For the discussion was how we offset what the board wants to do versus. 00:01:43
Tax rates. 00:01:49
So there's going to eat up some cash on hand from the 2 districts. 00:01:50
Money transferred all. 00:01:54
The fund. 00:01:55
Next year's budget? 00:01:56
So maybe it works out, it's just a little funky because there's no. 00:02:00
There are no cash balances for the district. There are no. 00:02:04
You know, misplaced revenue. It's just it's kind of a boring budget. There's nothing to look at these numbers. 00:02:07
The two the two separate districts are bringing. 00:02:15
What they have to the table, but that this new, this is a new district, so they don't have anything, right? Yeah, I mean. 00:02:18
The. 00:02:25
I believe the ordinance says it, but it's not really a legal authority. 00:02:27
The force that you have to. 00:02:30
Hand and money over the the The two current districts are handing their money over to. 00:02:32
The new district. So that's why on January 1. 00:02:37
They will have cash on hand. 00:02:40
We're trying to get a better picture that right now trying to get you know nailed down what what's left for the remainder of the 00:02:42
year to be spent and revenues and so forth, so we can get a better idea. 00:02:47
Of you know what we're gonna do next year. But just just for clarification say can correct me if I'm wrong? 00:02:51
This has to be adopted because this is the operating budget come January 1 and 24 because. 00:02:57
The two districts, as they stand today, will cease to exist from. 00:03:03
From getting money in 24, so we've got to give Highlander a rate. 00:03:08
Otherwise they won't have any money. Yeah, this is. This is the this is. 00:03:13
Will be one of. 00:03:17
3 districts I believe, right? 00:03:19
Yeah, down from 4. There were four last year or three years. 00:03:21
You're going to three. 00:03:26
Because this one will be taking over Lafayette and Greenbush whole. 00:03:27
And those two fire districts will no longer exist. 00:03:31
The boards will be disbanded and they will have a. 00:03:34
Tax levies? Nothing. 00:03:37
That's what I make it noted that this is a public hearing and I don't unless one of you all want to speak. There's really no 00:03:41
public in attendance to speak to this, so. 00:03:45
Just just wanna know that. And there's not a vote tonight, this was purely a public hearing. The vote will happen on October 26th, 00:03:50
is that right? Yeah, the form of the adoption happened on October. 00:03:56
26 or 24/24/24? 00:04:03
Yeah. 00:04:09
I would just like to say that Rubin has been. 00:04:09
It was an interesting path to walk. 00:04:24
Appreciate that. 00:04:26
So. 00:04:29
We really appreciate it. 00:04:31
Yeah, it's been interesting. 00:04:34
Didn't. 00:04:36
Yeah, they oddly enough, they sent out and a Max Levy order. 00:04:41
With miscellaneous revenue in it, but there were some mistakes in that order. 00:04:45
So I guess maybe I should have questioned those mistakes, but they were blaming enough mistakes. So we kind of had you because it 00:04:50
would have been a long term. 00:04:54
Air. 00:04:57
So then they reached another order. 00:04:59
Saying there would not be mislaid revenues for 2024 and really in my in my thought was in talking to them in the emails. 00:05:01
The first is the The 1st order was not supposed to ever go out. 00:05:09
I mean, that was my that's kind of my feeling on their conversations. It should have been issued. 00:05:13
The 2nd order is what should have been should have gone out anyways. 00:05:18
There's a lot of confusion. 00:05:23
About that so. 00:05:26
So will there be a change? 00:05:27
Catch up on it. 00:05:30
Not really. I mean well they're they will be able to a little bit because the. 00:05:36
The midwife. The certified shares will be bigger. 00:05:41
Than what their shortfall is. 00:05:45
This year. 00:05:48
For 2024. 00:05:48
They're their certified shares for 25. We bigger than that number. 00:05:50
So let's say like every let's pretend like everybody stays where it is. Well, then they start running certified shares. They can 00:05:54
start building that cash back up. 00:05:57
They started 25 slowly and it would take a while to get back to where they are now. 00:06:01
We eventually get there. 00:06:06
Any other public comment? 00:06:10
Any other questions or comments from? 00:06:12
The Council. 00:06:15
OK, well, well, I'll take a motion to. 00:06:18
Sure. 00:06:22
Are we such great? 00:06:25
What now? 00:06:26
Ohh well. 00:06:30
I don't. 00:06:31
Actually on the agenda, this was a hearing, public hearing for the for the Highland Fire District. But we can. 00:06:32
I mean, we can adjourn it. I mean, we can. 00:06:40
I guess we can adjourn it on the 24th. 00:06:45
So ohh OK after we adopt it. 00:06:48
Umm. 00:06:52
I think that's. 00:06:54
He said OK. 00:06:55
OK, motion to reset. I will. I'll modify the form for. 00:06:56
OK to be printed for that. 00:07:00
24th meeting, OK. 00:07:03
There was a motion. They'll seconded. OK, We have a motion and a second. All in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed. Thanks. Thank you. 00:07:05
OK. We should have on Roy on the. 00:07:15
