Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:04:09–00:04:10 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
and her team, so really appreciate all the effort they put forth in getting us all the information we need to look at. As it relates to our deliverables, you'll find our reports throughout the document. The first one is the report on the financial statements. We issued an unmodified opinion, which is a clean opinion that the numbers are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. And then the remaining reports you'll find towards the back of the document in the compliance section. There's a report related to government audit standards where we consider internal controls over reporting and compliance significant to the financials. That was a clean report.

And then there are two reports required by the Florida Auditor General. One is a management letter. Another is an attestation examination on ‸ the city's compliance with investment policy. Those were both clean reports as well. Some significant work goes into this next report related to the major grants of the city. So we looked at one federal program, the hazard mitigation grants program, and then one state project as well, which was the statewide water quality restoration projects.

There's a lot of compliance rules related to ‸ how those dollars are spent and the management of the grant, the reporting that goes along with it. So we looked at that as well as the internal controls over compliance, and those were both clean audits for those two grants. Just a few financial statement highlights.
I
want to point out this first slide looks at the overall ‸ long-term assets and long-term liabilities of the city as well.

So good results. The unrestricted net position also is positive for both governmental and business-type activities. So that's pretty good ‸ considering a lot of times those long-term liabilities for governments, specifically pensions and other post-employment benefits, a lot of times make that unrestricted number a negative. So ‸ it's ‸ really good to be able to show a positive unrestricted net position there. On the general fund side, also a key metric for the city is looking at fund balance, and the unassigned fund balance of $28

You can see unassigned fund balance was 60% of total expenditures, so also a very healthy, stable financial condition for the city. On the budget side, we also look at compliance as it relates to what the ‸ city approved for spending. You can see the city approved to spend down fund balance by $12 million actually had an increase of $3 million, so ‸ a positive budget variance of $15 million for

as there are less expenditures than were budgeted. And then lastly, the water and sewer system, just want to point out this, as well as the major utility fund of the ‸ city. And you can see, again, positive operating income. You want to see that at a healthy level, and ‸ that is at $26 million,

and I answered the question at the diamond square meeting but I think it would be appropriate today for the city manager to kind of, something short, just kind of explain what exactly we have done involving the Jolie Smith Center kind of like just a little timeline if

Jolie Smith Community Center so we've not been successful in securing state or federal dollars. uh We thought we had an initiative uh going with the uh Bezos foundation and that didn't work out there and and but each year we're actually actively out there uh mining the sources for dollars for the, uh ‸ old building.
okay that was it I just wanted him because I I said something similar but I wanted to put on record that the city manager can can say that so
yeah and so mine was just a question because I was unaware there was a significant homeless issue over there

as required from the city manager as required uh by the charter. And so this is the the first step uh in actually the formal adoption of the rates and ultimately the budget. And so Mrs. Bowman will walk you through that and I'll jump in as usual.
So, yes, sir. Ma'am, the floor is yours. Thank
you, Mr. Mayor. Yes, ma'am. um so as the city manager just, just stated, this is another step, in the budget adoption process. At this meeting, we normally, uh establish a rollback rate, as you stated, adopt a proposed millage rate, and then set the first public hearing. So those are the three steps that we're going to do one by one. um just as a reminder, you all need to take each step one at a time. uh once you come back from public comment, uh in reference to these actions. so as part of this process, we review, uh whatever others, what the other cities are doing as far as their avalorum rates. This year is, a uh a transition year due to a new statute, uh that established new voting requirements. And so, if you

cities are going above the rollback rate. um it's, nobody knows what's going to happen with property taxes in, uh November. um so that just, ‸ this is a slide that we normally do each year anyways. Everyone wants to know what everyone else is doing. but it's showing you that most of the cities are going above their rollback rate,
[unclear audio — 0:05 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:52:03–00:52:08 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
rate. And that does, uh affect the voting on the, um millage rate, which you're going to establish tonight as a proposed millage rate not the final millage rate. let
me let me jump in Rebecca and so the the the comparison is of cities but the the county is also going above the rollback rate their general fund uh

floor
is yours, ma'am.
Yeah, i I think that's the main point I want to make at this point, that if we were to roll back, that's a policy decision. Implementing that policy decision would be a matter for the city manager who has intimate knowledge of all these areas and is quite able to make those prioritizations. Whereas one of us, I haven't looked at the condition of the exterior wall that needs repair or familiar with the phone system or pickup trucks or whatever. um I do know that in 2024, we had

is devastating. But we don't know that that's going to take place yet. We take action on that once that's a real thing. There are a lot of things falling on that too that is making a question. it's not quite the slam dunk we once thought it was going to be. And so, you know, when we ask for a tightening of the belts, um given our history and our fine financial position and the excellence of our staff in maintaining that, I don't think, I think that's where
implementation
meets the road. Now, if we go back to, could you go back to the slide that shows the other municipalities here we are our proposed says 6.95

And um so, again, I'm in favor of the rollback rate.
Okay. um First of all, we no matter what, we have to establish a rollback rate. That's first priority based on the resolution. The second thing is, if we do not get a super majority, four fifths vote, to do keep our current rate at

October of 1990. That was 36 years ago. And so I think my area of expertise is budgeting. um The charter requires me to present to the city council a balanced budget proposal. I did that. And so now it is not my job to unbalance that. It's your job to say whether or not you accept my balanced budget proposal and the rates associated with that. And if you don't accept it, then you tell me how to get back to the cuts. So so that's number one. number number Number two, in terms of the fund balance, um you you never um depend on savings from month to month to pay your light bill. It has to be your recurring revenue that you know that you're going to get from your job or from some source that you can depend on uh day in and day out, but not from savings.

with additional revenues there. And so ‸ we've, we've, we've presented a balanced budget proposal again, that's predicated on a particular tax rate, but if you don't want to go there, then you have to direct me to where uh you want to take the cuts from. um and I've said this about, uh uh Mrs. Bowman.

And so so the the after the manager has given you a balanced budget proposal, it is the responsibility of the council to then determine how they either want to uh unbalance it or bring it back into balance. uh Again, you guys could move on with a simple majority um based on what I've submitted to you. But at some point, if that super majority isn't going to be there, then you got to make the cuts. We don't want to be here at the 11th hour making those cuts, you know, and so, you know, with all due respect to my fine friends up in Tallahassee, I just think they got that wrong. You know, to say that you can go simple majority, simple majority, and then you have to go super majority at the last public hearing is just really, in the words of a Commissioner Scarborough, stupid. you know so um so So, you know, there's that. um Again, I don't know, Mrs. Bowman, if you want to jump in on the on the fund balance and and under projecting revenues and under projecting expenditures.

So, okay, we didn't spend all of the money. Well, what is going on behind the scenes is also you have purchase orders that are open that ‸ didn't get completed by the end of the year. All the money didn't get get spent. And so that needs to be reduced from that number that you're seeing as an assigned fund balance. And there's um a liquidity reserve.

is
I don't appreciate that, quite honestly. um I care very much about everything that goes on in this city, but that little bit of money is showing our people all the residents. And my particular district pays a lot of the taxes that cover the districts that don't pay as much. And they deserve a little bit of a break. And to say you're going to look at cutting stuff in my district when we're the ones that are paying the taxes, give me a break. I do not appreciate that at all. Makes me angry actually. And I don't get angry. The cuts are minimal. You don't have to give up the police officer. You don't have to give up any of that. We know where there are things, there are issues with our budget. And I'm sorry to say part of it is the firefighter overtime problem. That's where there's issues, not in the rest of this. At all. So let's look at those things and not at this stuff. To me, let's give our people a little bit of a break.

To be able not to have to publish in the paper that we are raising taxes. And that's what people react to. That's why the governor was able to get, you know, so much momentum. We are still going to go forward.

everybody
pays the county. I just told you guys maybe, what was ‸ two hours ago? We've been in this. The county is going above rollback, yep both on the general fund and on its aggregate. So regardless of what you do, everybody's going to experience a tax increase. I don't know what the school board is doing, but they're probably not going back to rollback. And so you have those two countywide entities that are on everybody's tax bill. And so, you know, you do what you want, but your citizens aren't going to experience a tax decrease because the the two biggest players on the tax bill are raising their their uh their rates. And that's a double-edged sword, you know, because,

They're going to get the trim notice and they're going to have all of the taxing districts that they pay.

Thank you. um looking at the water and sewer fund, you can see their largest, source of revenue is charges for services, which people pay utility rates for that. And then their non-revenue, which is pulling money from a signed fund balance. So that fund operates differently. It operates like a business. It's pulling some money from their unassigned fund balance to um uh fund uh their capital ‸ projects. So their total budget is 105 million.

It's all right, ‸ It's all good. It's all good. I
probably did something wrong um so
I I just I only had um really one thing anyway um ‸ it was the conversation at Cocoa High School um last week um dealing with the football field itself um it it is a major issue right now. um Because of
moles
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:19:16–02:19:17 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
because of lack of maintenance, um because of lack of water, uh because of pesticides being used that killed grass out there. So now the football season starts August 21st, first game um and I and I it was just a just so happened to be in the area met with coach hooks met with uh the principal and AD. And uh there's a lot of concerns about playing surface right now. um And we know, especially a lot of the football players who played on grass, when the surface is not where it should be. um That's when you get ACL tears, meniscus tears. You get all these different things that may kind of happen to athletes. do
you say moles?
Moles. yeah Yeah. So,

board, school board. um so in order to try to kill the moles, ‸ the pesticides They use to kill the moles, turn around and kill the grass. oh
dear.
And so, and it's not a hundred percent of the grass is dead, but enough of it is causing a major issue when you're dealing with one month before the first game. if you had four or five months before the first game different different conversation

you know as a council we tend to get into the school board's business sometimes with funds and other things that we have done recently. um I don't know if that is a conversation that the mayor can possibly have as well um with, with other school board members to have that conversation about, or facilities about the playing surface um and so I don't

Yeah. And it's difficult sometimes when you are employee of school board and certain things you can't say
right and
so I think that's where we can possibly have that discussion for them. Again, you got four weeks before the first game. It's not a lot of time to do a lot of things to this turf, but maybe this is a conversation

So, so, um she said she sent it to staff and they'll look out for when the application gets over there. um I think that each septic tank is a two to three week, two week deal. We're not going to do them all at once. And so we'll do them in stages where, uh you'll be able to utilize the facilities that we're not doing the restroom facilities that we're not doing. um you can actually utilize the restroom facilities now. Now, I don't, I don't know if the, uh county is actually not allowed that use there, but I did talk to, um the secretary of the, uh youth organization. I know that their, their, um season starts August 8th is what she said. And so, um ‸ we didn't talk about whether, ‸ it was the city's responsibility, the county's responsibility or the county's
responsibility or the
organization's responsibility for, uh bathroom facilities.
