| We're rolling. | 00:00:16 | |
| All right, we are rolling, so I'm going to get this meeting started. Today is Wednesday, May 8th, 2024, and the time is 603. We're | 00:00:18 | |
| gonna go ahead and start our meetings today and today we're gonna start with our Vineyard Redevelopment Agency board meeting. Umm, | 00:00:25 | |
| let's start with a prayer and then we'll umm, do the Pledge of Allegiance and then we'll go from there. | 00:00:33 | |
| Are you a kind of Heavenly Father? We're so grateful for the opportunity to gather together as a board in the city and the | 00:00:43 | |
| community to work on things to create a beautiful community and quality of life for our families. And we are so grateful for those | 00:00:50 | |
| that UMM sacrificed their lives to service us and serve us and take care of us and for the sacrifice that is to their families. | 00:00:58 | |
| And we pray for them, and we hope that they have what they need as they continue to. | 00:01:05 | |
| Be here with Magnus and we pray that we'll be able to do well as we make these choices and work together. And we say this name of | 00:01:13 | |
| Jesus Christ, Amen. All right. | 00:01:18 | |
| As you were driving up today, you might have noticed that our flags are half, half fast. And we are. I've invited our Lieutenant | 00:01:41 | |
| to come up and and talk about one of our fallen heroes and to lead us in a moment of silence. And so I'll offer you to come up. | 00:01:47 | |
| Lieutenant Russell, thank you so much. | 00:01:54 | |
| Well, as, as some of you or most of you probably know, Sunday morning, umm, we lost one of our officers, uh, or one of our | 00:02:04 | |
| sergeants, uh, Sergeant Bill Hoover. And it was a tragic call. Uh, if you live in that area, if you know, people live in that | 00:02:10 | |
| area, they were cops everywhere for hours and hours. Uh. | 00:02:16 | |
| Umm and just a real, real tragedy. He's behind a wife and two daughters umm and just on a a traffic stop on a real suspicious | 00:02:23 | |
| call. It was coming out of a different county and coming north and him in a trooper stopped and and tried to take care of things. | 00:02:29 | |
| And unfortunately the driver umm. | 00:02:34 | |
| Hit and killed him that day umm luckily he's been caught he was caught after quite a long hunt for him in a complete North East | 00:02:41 | |
| side of the state umm there's some very good police work and a lot of a lot of chaos actually so anytime we lose somebody it's | 00:02:49 | |
| just devastating and tragic umm but really for the families who won't have him coming home anymore the rest of us we we'll get to | 00:02:56 | |
| the home to our families hopefully you know every night have been since since and hopefully we'll continue to do so but. | 00:03:04 | |
| We just would really love to take a moment and have a moment of silence to remember him and honor his sacrifices. He served us in | 00:03:12 | |
| this county. So if you join me in a moment of silence, I'd appreciate it. | 00:03:16 | |
| The sunset of the day of the funeral, which is May 13th. So we'll continue to see that in probably until the 14th. So keep them in | 00:04:52 | |
| your minds and your prayers as you go throughout your your time. Thank you. Umm. | 00:04:58 | |
| We're going to have a little bit of a change of schedule. Uh, Anthony Jenkins, where are you if you want to come up? And yes, OK. | 00:05:05 | |
| Thank you. | 00:05:23 | |
| And uh. | 00:06:02 | |
| Umm, we're having our non motorized bike trade at the end of the month, right? That's correct. That'll be on the 29th and that's | 00:07:14 | |
| kind of the lead in to heritage today. Yeah. | 00:07:18 | |
| Yeah, so last year was the first year that we did that. But, uh, everyone's welcome to come to some place for kids and grandkids | 00:07:23 | |
| to come out and ride around in Adults too. You can come out as well. Awesome. And this is the perfect time. Umm. | 00:07:29 | |
| As all of you may remember, Anthony has served on our Planning Commission for many years and we have your plan that is recognizing | 00:07:37 | |
| that. I think I had you come speak. Did I? Yeah. Uh, yeah. Thank you. And look at this guy, He won't stop serving us. He is the | 00:07:44 | |
| volunteer drive forever. So thank you for all that you do. And we just wanted to recognize you for that again, as we testify to | 00:07:51 | |
| you. Are there any other questions? Yeah, Let's talk for you. Awesome. | 00:07:58 | |
| Particularly to the South would be great and I know there's several people working on that. So you've got a whole Commission and | 00:08:41 | |
| several residents that are interested in helping, uh, however we can with any of the, the city initiatives. That's awesome. Thank | 00:08:47 | |
| you so much. We'll keep that in mind. All right, umm, that moves us to our consent items. I just need a motion unless anybody | 00:08:53 | |
| would like to discuss. | 00:08:59 | |
| OK, umm. | 00:09:13 | |
| I move to approve the consent items as presented. All right, a first time, Marty, can I get a second? Second. All right, second by | 00:09:16 | |
| Sarah. Any discussion? Looks like there is a hand raised. | 00:09:22 | |
| Are you sending consent items for the early budget? Yes, thank you. Oh, for the for the RDA board meeting in general. | 00:09:33 | |
| It's just a minute. | 00:09:43 | |
| OK. | 00:09:45 | |
| OK, great. All in favor, aye. | 00:09:48 | |
| And I'm taking that as a yes. Any opposed? No. All right, we'll go ahead and move on to our discussion items. Our business items | 00:09:54 | |
| and our discussion and action item is a proposed tentative fiscal year 2024-2025 budget. And our RDA Director, Josh Daniels will | 00:10:01 | |
| be presenting this test tonight. Great, thank you there. Mm-hmm. Uh, we're gonna pull up a couple of slides here. | 00:10:09 | |
| Umm, so one, one thing to just note as an overview, so revenues to the RDA are primarily the increment, uh, revenues from property | 00:10:22 | |
| tax and something I wanted to kind of call your attention to. You'll see it in the chart when I, when I show it, but, umm, if | 00:10:32 | |
| you're not already familiar with kind of a major interruption in property tax revenues specifically. | 00:10:43 | |
| The valuations that were on those commercial properties and of course those are really, uh, highly valuable commercial properties | 00:11:28 | |
| because of the business personal property element. That's all the equipment and technology that goes into those power plants. And | 00:11:36 | |
| so it reduced property tax revenue to taxing entities throughout the state. Umm, vineyard was a good example of that. That's why | 00:11:43 | |
| there's that reduction from fiscal year 22 to fiscal year 23 in revenues, but that was a one year adjustment and so. | 00:11:51 | |
| Umm, we'll see revenue sort of back on track to historical levels, uh, now and in the near future. Another important, uh, economic | 00:11:59 | |
| issue that is also affecting the entire state is that as residential property values increase in, umm, in, in, in terms of | 00:12:06 | |
| outpacing the increases in commercial property values, what ends up happening is that, umm, the burden of property tax kind of | 00:12:14 | |
| shifts more to residences and less from commercial. | 00:12:21 | |
| And that's also seen a little bit of reduction, umm, specifically in the revenues to the RDA because, uh, a heavy portion of the | 00:12:29 | |
| increment revenues are coming from commercial properties. And so, umm, that's also something else to keep in mind. And that, | 00:12:37 | |
| that's another reason why you see that reduction from fiscal year 22 to 23 and a little bit slower come back in, in 24. But in 25, | 00:12:44 | |
| we're anticipating, uh, revenues both from just growth, umm, from increased. | 00:12:52 | |
| Values on existing and new newly developed commercial properties to put our total, uh, property tax increment revenue back to the | 00:13:00 | |
| 10 1/2 million that we're anticipating. So that's that, that first slide, umm, of revenues. Any, any questions on that | 00:13:07 | |
| specifically kind of some complicated economic and and taxing issues. | 00:13:14 | |
| Any questions? | 00:13:23 | |
| No, keep going. Great. Umm, OK, so these are, uh, just the overview of revenues again, umm, property taxes, the largest uh, grant | 00:13:25 | |
| revenue is kind of intergovernmental, umm, and then our, our existing fund balance largely from uh, bond proceeds and then major | 00:13:34 | |
| expenditures, uh, primarily capital projects, uh, and of course our ongoing obligations for increment payments and, and bond | 00:13:43 | |
| payments are the, the largest pieces there. | 00:13:52 | |
| And then the next slide, umm, is a list of those capital projects, which, uh, we reviewed informationally at, at the last board | 00:14:02 | |
| meeting and that spills on to two slides. So maybe we'll just give a second here for the first slide. We'll go back to the first | 00:14:07 | |
| five for a moment. | 00:14:13 | |
| Umm, of course, the largest is that overpass, which is really critical to uh, East, West, umm movement, especially as you know, | 00:14:20 | |
| you develop the promenade and need people to be able to move back and forth throughout the city. And then on the next slide. | 00:14:29 | |
| Uh, those are the the rest of the RDA projects that that will be in the capital projects plan. | 00:14:42 | |
| And that that does it. We can go back. Well, yeah. | 00:14:55 | |
| All right. Any questions from the board? | 00:15:00 | |
| OK, not at this time. | 00:15:05 | |
| Umm, OK, go ahead. Hold on. Let me just put it up good. | 00:15:10 | |
| Hey Josh, I'm looking through this and my. | 00:15:18 | |
| I'm looking at RDA Admin 330,000 three there. | 00:15:23 | |
| No. | 00:15:33 | |
| Are are you looking at specifically slides? | 00:15:35 | |
| Umm, I can't see the slides in the room, but I don't see if there's any redevelopment on the 2025. Yeah. | 00:15:40 | |
| Is that what you're showing on the screen? Yeah. So revenues, revenues to the admin account are 422. | 00:15:49 | |
| OK then. Umm. | 00:15:59 | |
| OK. | 00:16:04 | |
| So the breakout detail of the budget is in the spreadsheet. That's correct. Yeah. So there's a, there's a budget spreadsheet that | 00:16:16 | |
| that kind of goes along with the overview. | 00:16:22 | |
| Umm, I think he's looking at the spreadsheet and it's. | 00:16:30 | |
| No, that, that'll be in the umm, that'll be in the sort of final budget document. | 00:16:34 | |
| Correct. But we don't have that here. That wasn't given to the publicers, right? | 00:16:41 | |
| So I'm looking at the packet right here that, that, that's provided to me and I see that there's a, there's a spreadsheet or APDF | 00:16:48 | |
| of a spreadsheet that shows, I think what Jake's asking about the RDA admin revenue for the actual for, I think he mentioned the | 00:16:56 | |
| number he mentioned matches the, the, the fiscal year 2020, uh, 22 dash 23. | 00:17:04 | |
| For 330,000. | 00:17:12 | |
| Umm, are you asking? | 00:17:17 | |
| For 22,000, my question is, is you know kind of approved as a budget, why don't you publish in a complete itemized breakdown and | 00:17:21 | |
| because you know this and also here. | 00:17:30 | |
| So a couple of things. One, the tentative budget is just a statutory timing requirement where you make a presentation of kind of | 00:17:43 | |
| budget. So you don't have to adopt anything today. You just are accepting the presentation of the tentative budget. Umm, you adopt | 00:17:48 | |
| the budget. | 00:17:53 | |
| Uh, when you adopt A final budget. | 00:18:00 | |
| Umm, but in terms of the line item, so that in the PDF page nine of nine in the agenda packet includes the specific, uh, line | 00:18:03 | |
| items from from the budget. | 00:18:09 | |
| Umm, I guess I'm not seeing. | 00:18:19 | |
| That and is that uploaded onto the new and then start portal? The spreadsheet is in the package, yeah. | 00:18:23 | |
| Yeah. | 00:18:34 | |
| OK. All right. As long as we have a breakdown of it, I couldn't find it today. | 00:18:37 | |
| OK, do you wanna talk about? | 00:18:48 | |
| Yeah, in the in the public meeting notice website and then on the city website, the agenda packet, the last page of the agenda | 00:18:55 | |
| packet has an exhibit which is each budget category in line and and the amounts that were sort of summarized in the slides. But | 00:19:02 | |
| then you can see them in the in the budget document itself on the in the last page of the packet. | 00:19:10 | |
| Jake Umm, I definitely, I definitely, I just wanna add that you accept this and that it's been brought to your attention. Then | 00:19:19 | |
| you'll start going through meetings where you refine the budget before you and you start to work with the public and with the | 00:19:27 | |
| staff, and then this tentative budget will continue to come back. | 00:19:35 | |
| On to the agenda until we adopt the final on the last week of June. | 00:19:45 | |
| So we'll continue to see this and we'll also have a public hearing on it. | 00:19:51 | |
| Next meeting will be a public hearing. So and just to just to help with Jake's question in the public, I just got on our website | 00:19:56 | |
| and I was able to locate the document you're asking about on the city's website, so. | 00:20:03 | |
| All right, great. Then I need a motion. | 00:20:11 | |
| In the motion, let me make sure you set the public. | 00:20:16 | |
| Thank you. OK, so I moved to approve the proposed tentative Fiscal Year 2024 Dash 2025 budget item as presented with a public | 00:20:23 | |
| hearing scheduled for May 22nd, 2024. Alright, I have a first time already. Can I get a second, second, second by Sarah? Any | 00:20:30 | |
| discussion? | 00:20:36 | |
| All right. | 00:20:45 | |
| Do you have discussion? Do you have a question? Well, I have so many questions. | 00:20:48 | |
| Because we haven't really, we haven't really all I've seen are just what comes up on on the screen. So we haven't had a discussion | 00:20:54 | |
| about any of this. So you wanna talk about capital projects maybe. OK, so maybe so, so to approve it now, I mean, I get that this | 00:21:00 | |
| isn't the final budget. I understand that. But there's so many things to talk about, right? And I feel like like, what do you guys | 00:21:06 | |
| even even a tentative. | 00:21:12 | |
| Seen as premature at this point. So we have to by law accept this tentative and then we'll go into a refinement process where | 00:21:18 | |
| you'll go and break this down and we'll have a public hearing two weeks or yes, two weeks from now where it'll come to the public. | 00:21:24 | |
| And then we'll hear from the public and then we'll go through the process again. And it'll, it will remain tentative for many | 00:21:31 | |
| weeks and many meetings until the last week in June. So really what we're doing this today is saying this is kind of what the | 00:21:37 | |
| staff pulled together to. | 00:21:43 | |
| Umm. | 00:22:53 | |
| I, I would just say that I, I don't like the problem. I think that, yeah, I wish that every department wouldn't met with us prior, | 00:22:55 | |
| umm, and really allowed us to know, even just discussing a tentative budget and just looking through a few things that we've | 00:23:03 | |
| already talked about and even pushing back and saying, hey, you don't have the vote here or there just because it, it is. | 00:23:12 | |
| Umm, And a lot of things that we didn't see and are currently, I mean, engaging all the other cities, they're having, you know, | 00:23:23 | |
| 10/15/20 hours of budget conversation. And that's not the culture that we're having here. Umm Jake, I was able to, in my weekly | 00:23:29 | |
| meeting with Eric, I was able to go through things and let him know what my questions were and let him know like where concerns | 00:23:36 | |
| are and even told him some of the things I wanna cut. And then he told me that I was gonna be able to meet with Christine next | 00:23:42 | |
| week. | 00:23:48 | |
| So I feel like you could have that maybe just in your meeting, like that's just what you need to communicate so that you're | 00:23:55 | |
| getting that. I'm happy to meet with you any time to discuss the budget. | 00:24:01 | |
| Going through, do you have any more questions or concerns on that or comments on that date? | 00:24:45 | |
| I think it's publicly clear that I would like to meet with every department headed. Additionally, it was probably take more than | 00:24:51 | |
| an hour to go through there and I just, yeah, I'm just disappointed in the process. | 00:24:59 | |
| Well, let's as you go through the process, I think just give us your feedback and see where, where you'd like to improve it and | 00:25:07 | |
| then we can bring it together as a council. So OK, umm with that said, I think we have a 1st and a second. | 00:25:14 | |
| Umm, does this need to be by roll call? OK, we did. Yes. Sarah. Sarah. Yes, yes or no? Oh, yes, Yes. Yes. Yay, Jake. | 00:25:22 | |
| No, and Umm Amber is excused at this time. All right, the meeting is adjourned and we will start our next meeting in just a minute | 00:25:36 | |
| as we switch over our mix. | 00:25:42 |
