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
