UM, THE, OUR NEW PHYSICAL YEAR STARTS IN JULY WHERE WE HAD ONE ITEM THAT POPPED UP UNEXPECTEDLY THIS YEAR AT DR. ROSE WILDER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE, UM, WE HAVE A LIFT STATION THERE THAT TAKES THE SEPTIC WATER FROM THE SCHOOL THAT PUMPS AT ABOUT 1800 FEET TO THE ROAD. THERE'S TWO GRINDER PUMPS. SO ANY SEPTIC MATERIAL IN THAT LIFT STATION GETS GRINDED AND PUMPED TO IT. WELL, BOTH OF THOSE PUMPS WENT DOWN AND THEREFORE WE HAD TO GET THOSE PUMPS, UH, FIXED TO KEEP SCHOOL OPERATIONAL. AND ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE QUOTES AND GETTING, IT'S A CONFINED SPACE SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PROPER PERMITTING AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO ENTER THAT. SO WE HAD TO REACH OUT TO A CONTRACTOR FOR THIS AND WE, WE REACHED OUT TO TWO CONTRACTORS EVEN THOUGH IT'S CONSIDERED AN EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT. UM, ONE QUOTED ABOUT JUST UNDER $40,000.

JUST TO PUT IN PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT THIS WOULD DO TO OUR GENERAL BUDGET FOR THAT SCHOOL, OUR GENERAL BUDGET NUMBER FOR THAT SCHOOL FOR JUST GENERAL REPAIRS FROM CONTRACTORS IS $26,620. SO WE PAID PRETTY MUCH EAT UP THAT GENERAL CONTRACT, THAT GENERAL BUD, UH, BUDGET NUMBER WITH THIS ONE REPAIR, NOT INCLUDING, WE HAD TO GET SEPTIC COMPANIES COME IN AND PUMP OUT THAT LIFT STATION UNTIL WE CAN GET IT OPERATIONAL TO REMOVE THAT WASTEWATER TO KEEP STUDENTS IN SCHOOL.

MR. CHAIRMAN, WE, WE ARE TAKING A LOOK AT, UM, HANGAR RENTAL FEES OUT AT THE AIRPORT. WE ARE CURRENTLY THE LOWEST, UH, FEED CHARGER IN OUR REGION. AND WE'RE DOING A LITTLE QUICK STUDY. UH, WE DON'T WANNA BE THE HIGHEST, BUT WE DON'T WANNA BE THE LOWEST. WE WANNA FALL SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE AND THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO GET A LITTLE MORE REVENUE AT THE AIRPORT SO IT IS ACTUALLY SELF-SUFFICIENT AND NOT OFFSET BY PROPERTY TAXES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION? ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? GOT A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN RICK. SECOND. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN COKER. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ALL, ALL FOLKS. MOTION. CARRIE, NEXT UP, [13. Finance Report – Nelson Gibbons, Finance Director] I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO CALL NELSON AT HOME. I I'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT MAN. MR. CHAIRMAN NELSON IS IN A CLASS RIGHT NOW. UM, HE IS IN A, A CLASS WITH THE GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION, UM, LEARNING SOME STUFF. SO HE ASKED IF I COULD FILL IN FOR HIM. UM, SO HE HAS PROVIDED A REPORT AND I'LL GO THROUGH THE DETAILS. UM, IN THE GENERAL FUND, UM, OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR, IT'S A LITTLE OVER $32 MILLION. UM, OUR REVENUES IS RIGHT AT 1.8 MILLION, WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT 6% OF OUR YEAR TO DATE NUMBERS. UM, SO WE'RE ABOUT 19% BEHIND WHERE WE NEED TO BE. BUT THIS IS EXPECTED BECAUSE MOST OF OUR REVENUE COMES IN DURING TAX SEASON. UM, WE GET MOST OF OUR REVENUE IN DECEMBER, JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. UH, AND THEN QUARTERLY PAYMENTS COME IN FROM THE STATE. SO AS OF THE END OF SEPTEMBER WHEN THESE NUMBERS WERE DONE, WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN THOSE QUARTERLY PAYMENTS FROM THE STATE YET. WE GET, UM, LOCAL LOT AND SALES TAX MONEY ON ONCE A QUARTER. IT'LL COME IN OCTOBER. AND WE ALSO GET, UM, STATE AID TO SUBDIVISIONS. THAT'S A HUGE PORTION [00:15:01] OF OUR REVENUE. SO THOSE, THOSE HAS NOT COME IN YET AS OF OCTOBER. UM, ON THE EXPENSE SIDE, WE ARE RIGHT ON TRACK. UH, WE ARE 1% OVER AS OF RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT CAN BE EXPLAINED. A LOT OF OUR EXPENSES ARE FRONT LOADED. WE PAY ALL OF OUR INSURANCE AND WORKERS' COMP AND THINGS LIKE THAT IN, IN JULY, RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. SO THEN WE HAVE 12 MONTHS TO SMOOTH THAT OUT. SO BEING ONLY 1% OVER RIGHT NOW IS ACTUALLY OUTSTANDING. UM, IN FIRE RESCUE WE ARE, SAME THING WITH REVENUE. UM, WE'RE ABOUT 7% END OF THE YEAR. AGAIN, THAT'S TAX MONEY AND CCY, UM, THE EXPENSES WE'RE A LITTLE BIT OVER WHERE WE EXPECT IT TO BE, BUT AGAIN, SAME THING FRONT LOADED WITH INSURANCE COSTS. UM, IN THE WATER AND SEWER FUND, WE, UH, WE HAVE AN OPERATING SURPLUS OF $201,000 AND A NON-OPERATING DEFICIT OF 249,000. UM, THAT IS $48,107 BELOW AS A DEFICIT NUMBER, BUT BEAR IN MIND, 211,000 OF THAT IS NON-CASH. THAT'S DEPRECIATION. UM, SO IT'S A NON-CASH EXPENSE. SO WE WE'RE RIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO BE AS FAR AS WATER AND SEWER. UM, AND THAT'S THE END OF HIS REPORT AND I CAN GIVE YOU A COPY IF YOU WANT. THANK YOU SIR. NEXT WE HAVE OUR ADMINISTRATIVE [14. Administrator’s Report –Walt Ackerman, County Administrator ] REPORT WITH ONCE AGAIN, WALTER. YES, SIR. UM, THANK YOU. AND I PUT A REPORT IN YOUR PACKET THAT OUTLINES, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE ARE ON A LOT OF OUR, OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS. BUT THE MAIN THING I WANNA BRING UP IS, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL KNOW THERE WAS A BIG WRECK FROM NINE FIVE. UM, WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF OUR PUBLIC SAFETY TEAM IN HERE TODAY. WE GOT SOMEBODY FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, WE GOT SOMEBODY FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND I WANNA GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO EVERYBODY THAT WAS INVOLVED FROM OUR DISPATCHERS TO OUR EMS PEOPLE, TO OUR FIRE SERVICE PEOPLE, TO OUR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, TO OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOLKS. EVERYBODY WAS INVOLVED IN THAT. AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM WALKING ON THAT BRIDGE DURING THAT INCIDENT, IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE THAT HAPPENED ON THAT I 95 BRIDGE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MORE PEOPLE WERE NOT DEVASTATINGLY INJURED OR KILLED. UM, BUT HATS OFF TO OUR FOLKS FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE, GETTING THOSE PEOPLE OUT, GETTING THEM TREATED SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY, ANY WORSE INJURIES. UM, I WAS TALKING TO THE FIRE CHIEF DOING THE WHOLE THING AND HE'S LIKE, I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW. I'M CRAWLING ON MY STOMACH UP UNDER A, A TRACTOR TRAILER TRYING TO GET TO SOMEBODY IN A CAR. SO EVERYBODY DID THEIR PART AND ANYWAY, I JUST, IF Y'ALL GET A CHANCE, PAT 'EM ON THE BACK. THAT'S ALL I GOT. THAT'S ALL YOU GOT. OKAY, WELL THAT'S [15. Chairman’s Report – Jay Johnson, Chairman of County Council ] DOWN TO ME AND I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING EITHER. UM, OTHER THAN, UM, I GUESS BY THE TIME WE COME BACK AGAIN, THERE'LL BE AN ELECTION AND EVERYBODY THAT KNOW WHO WON AND WHERE WE STAND FOR THE FUTURE OF YOUR COUNTY. UM, OTHER THAN THAT, I'LL TAKE A MOTION. WE ADJOURN. WE GOT A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN RICHON, A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN COOK. ARE ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ALL RIGHT. ALL OPPOSED, THANK YOU'ALL VERY MUCH.
