[8.D. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED TENTATIVE BUDGETS FOR THE GOLDER RANCH FIRE DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEARS 2026/2027 AND 2027/2028 ]
YEARS 26, 27 AND 2728. CHIEF. MADAM CHAIR, THANK YOU.THE BUDGET THAT WE PROPOSED AT THE BUDGET STUDY SESSION, ALONG WITH THE EDITS THAT WE HAD SENT, ARE WHAT WE'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO CONSIDER FOR APPROVAL.
OKAY. DO I HAVE A MOTION? I WAS GOING TO ASK CHIEF PERRY IF HE COULD GO THROUGH THE EDITS ON THE THE CHANGES. OKAY. MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
I'D BE GLAD TO SO ALL OF IT STEMS FROM, A MAJORITY OF SOME CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT THAT UNFORTUNATELY DIDN'T GET FULLY TRANSFERRED OVER INTO THE, THE ORIGINAL BUDGET.
SO IF I CAN GET YOU TO START ON PAGE 73, GENERAL FUND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
DO WE HAVE THE BUDGET TO PULL UP ON THE. THIS IS A VERY.
MADAM CHAIR, ONE SECOND WHILE WE GET THE TECHNOLOGY SORTED HERE REAL QUICK.
THEN THERE WAS ONE SUBMITTED. THAT WAS THE PRESENTATION BUDGET.
[00:32:36]
HOPEFULLY THEY GOT THE RIGHT. THEY JUST GOT TO GET TO.MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WHILE WE SORT THROUGH OUR.
NEVER MIND. WE'RE. WE SORTED THROUGH IT. SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY.
YEAH, THAT'S THE ONE. IF WE CAN START ON PAGE 73, PLEASE.
RIGHT THERE. OKAY. MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. TO GO THROUGH THIS LINE BY LINE JUST TO COVER THE, THE ADDITIONS OR CHANGES.
IF YOU LOOK ON PAGE 73 HERE, THE PROJECT TITLED COMMUNITY FIRE HYDRANTS, THAT WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY FIRE PREVENTION ONE THAT THEY DO EVERY YEAR. WE INADVERTENTLY LEFT THAT OUT OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
THAT IS AN ADDITION OF $20,000 TO OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT.
IF WE GO DOWN TO ALTERNATIVELY FUNDED CAPITAL PROJECTS ON THE SAME PAGE.
THE BOND WAS QUOTED AT 48 4.8 MILLION. THAT WAS ACTUALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN 4.4.
THAT WAS A SIMPLE TYPO. IF WE GO TO THE NEXT PAGE 74.
THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CASCADE SYSTEM IN DISCUSSIONS WITH STAFF WE DID NOT NEED THE ENTIRE AMOUNT 87.5 THAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR THIS YEAR.
SO THAT WAS CHANGED TO 72.5. SO THAT DECREASED THE AMOUNT FOR THE SINKING FUNDS.
IF WE SCROLL DOWN TO THE NEXT PAGE, 7075 CAPITAL LEASES THE O AND M LEVY LEASE, EXCUSE ME, THE ENTERPRISE FLEET LEASE THAT WAS INADVERTENTLY ENTERED INTO THE WRONG YEARS.
[00:35:07]
SO WE, WE STARTED THIS YEAR WITH 185 WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 215.SO THAT WAS A $30,000 INCREASE AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, THOSE ARE THE ADDITIONS THAT WERE INADVERTENTLY LEFT OUT OF THE THE CAPITAL BUDGET. NOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THESE ADDITIONS ARE BEING FUNDED OUT OF AVAILABLE CASH.
THESE ARE ARE THINGS THAT WE HAD SINKING FUNDS FOR OR OR OTHER AVAILABLE CASH.
THESE ARE NOT NECESSARILY ADDING TO THE O AND M RATE.
WE ARE STILL PRESENTING THE SAME O AND M RATE.
THAT AND BOND RATE THAT WE PROPOSED BEFORE THE 276 COMBINED RATE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHIEF. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FISCAL 2026, 2027 AND 2027 2028 TENTATIVE BUDGET AS PRESENTED WITH BOTH REVENUE AND COSTS OF $89,471,463 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2627 AND WITH A RECOMMENDED O&M RATE OF 267 AND THE RECOMMENDED DEBT SERVICE RATE OF $0.09 FOR AN AGGREGATE RATE OF 276.

[00:40:06]
CHIEF. MADAM CHAIR, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO OUR ACTING FINANCE DIRECTOR, JEFF SERGEANT, TO DO HIS FAVORITE THING.PUBLIC SPEAK. OKAY. I HAVE MY BLUE STICKY NOTE.
OH. YOU DO? OH, I'M GLAD YOU DO. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER A COUPLE THINGS WE'RE USING.
WE'RE 42 DAYS AWAY FROM THE NEW FISCAL YEAR, AND WE'RE USING THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS OF MEETINGS TO KIND OF PREP YOU GUYS ON WHAT YOU MIGHT BE SEEING DIFFERENT IN SOME OF THE REPORTS COMING UP.
SO THE YELLOW BOX AROUND INTEREST IS REMEMBER MOST OF THAT'S NOT OURS.
A LOT OF THAT'S GOING BACK TO THE FEDS. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BREAK THAT OUT FOR NEXT YEAR.
A LOT IN MY MIND. SO WE NEED TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT IS.
AND THEN REMEMBER FOR LATER. 358 BUT I DID WRITE THAT ON THE BACK OF THE STICKY NOTE.
SO YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A SECOND. SO THIS IS THE YEAR TO DATE.
THE UNFORTUNATE PART ABOUT THAT IS WE'RE ABOUT 400 DAYS AWAY FROM BEING ABLE TO POPULATE THAT COLUMN BECAUSE WITH OUR CLEANUP PROCESS AND CHANGING THINGS, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A CLEAR PRIOR YEAR DATA UNTIL JULY OF NEXT YEAR.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A SECOND TOO. SO THIS IS THE LIST OF REVENUE.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT NONE OF THAT REALLY COINCIDES WITH THOSE FOUR THINGS ON THE FRONT.
ON THE FIRST PAGE, THE FOUR BREAKDOWNS OF REVENUE.
FOR EXAMPLE, PRIOR YEAR TAXES WAS NEVER BUDGETED.
BUT YET IT'S $712,000 FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. SO WE NEED TO BUILD A TREND ON THAT.
AND YOU'LL START SEEING THAT IN THE NEXT SET OF REPORTS OF WHAT'S COMING IN FROM PRIOR YEAR.
AND RIGHT NOW, I'LL TELL YOU THAT THAT LINE ITEM CONTAINS ALL PRIOR YEAR TAXES INCLUDING PENAL.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING IS BASICALLY DEFINING EVERY SINGLE BUDGET CODE THAT WE HAVE AND PUTTING DEFINITIONS TO THEM SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HERE, INCLUDING THE PUBLIC AND YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT EXACTLY EACH LINE ITEM MEANS.
SO. PINAL OR PIMA IS A COLLECTION FOR LAST MONTH.
YOU COULD SEE THAT IT'S WAS $4.1 MILLION. IT SHOULD, BASED ON WHAT WAS BUDGETED, BE AROUND 6 MILLION AND CHANGE. SO WHEN I LOOKED AT MAY MONTH TO DATE, WE'RE AT 6.5 MILLION ALREADY, BUT WE'RE BUDGETED AT 6.5 MILLION.
SO WE MAY COME IN A LITTLE BIT ABOVE 6.5 FOR CASH COLLECTION FOR THIS MONTH.
BUT OUR TAX COLLECTION FOR THIS MONTH, BUT WE'RE NOT SURE YET.
SO WE STILL AREN'T 100% SURE WHERE THAT 2 MILLION VARIANCE IS COMING IN.
WE'RE HOPING THAT IT'S GOING TO COME IN IN MAY, BUT WE MAY SEE SOME OF THAT IN JUNE AS WELL.
COLLECTIONS IN PINAL COUNTY, SAME THING. WE'RE PULLING THAT OFF OF THEIR SITE.
AND I'M NOT SURE IF YOU KNOW THIS, BUT PINELLAS MONEY IS SWEPT INTO PIMA.
SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE NEXT CHART, BASICALLY IT SHOWS WHERE ALL THE MONEY IS.
CURRENTLY PINAL DOESN'T KEEP IT. THEY SHIP IT TO PIMA AND THEY HOLD THAT FOR US.
OUR YOU KNOW, CHASE, WE HAVE 4.5 MILLION IN THE CHECKING ACCOUNT.
DEBT SERVICE HAS BEEN THE SAME. YOU'LL SEE THAT GO UP WHEN WE NEED TO PULL MONEY OUT OF DEBT SERVICES, WHICH IS IN THE COLUMN, THE BOND SERVICES COLUMN, ESSENTIALLY UNDER PEMA WHICH IS AT 1.7 BOND PROCEED ACCOUNTS AT 58,000. IT'S GOING TO STAY THERE, MOST LIKELY UNTIL WE SWEEP THAT ALL BACK INTO PIMA COUNTY'S BOND PROCEEDS WHERE THEY WANT US CUTTING CHECKS ACTUALLY OUT OF THE COUNTY AS OPPOSED TO THE BANK.
[00:45:04]
SO THAT ACCOUNT, YOU WON'T SEE VERY MUCH MOVEMENT IN BOND SERVICES WITH THE TAX RATE GOING TO $0.09, YOU'LL SEE LIKE IF YOU LOOK BACK AT JULY, YOU'LL SEE IT WAS 600,000 AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.THAT NUMBER WILL BE CONSIDERABLY LOWER BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR BECAUSE WE ARE NEEDING TO BURN OFF SOME OF THE EXCESS THAT'S IN THAT ACCOUNT, BECAUSE WE'RE PAYING THE ARBITRAGE ON THE INTEREST FOR THAT AS WELL.
BOND PROCEEDS. YOU'LL SEE THAT ACCOUNT OVER THE NEXT YEAR GET REALLY CLOSE TO ZERO WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AT FLEET AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. MS BILLING, I HAVE THAT YOU NOTICE THAT THERE IS FLUCTUATIONS IN THE CASH COLLECTED PER MONTH. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO DO IS CHALLENGE US IF YOU SEE SOME KIND OF A VARIANCE. SO FOR EXAMPLE, WHY HAS OUR NET RECEIVABLE GONE UP $600,000 THIS FISCAL YEAR? I CAN TELL YOU SOME OF THAT IS A COMPUTER GLITCH THAT HAPPENED LAST MONTH.
YOU CAN SEE WHY CASH COLLECTION DROPPED. THERE WAS ABOUT TWO WEEKS OF ALL OF OUR INVOICES THAT GOT REJECTED, AND NOW THEY'VE ALL BEEN BILLED AGAIN THIS MONTH AND BEEN ACCEPTED.
BUT THAT'S PART OF WHY YOU SEE THAT LARGER THAT $300,000 JUMP IN THERE.
LAST MONTH WE HAD SAID WE WERE REDOING WILD LAND.
IT'S IT'S A LOT SMALLER ON THAT SCREEN THAN I'D HOPED, BUT AND JEAN WORKED LIKE CRAZY THIS WEEK TO GET IT COMPLETELY UPDATED, BUT WE HAD ALREADY SUBMITTED THIS. SO WE'VE HAD 11 FIRES TOTAL SO FAR.
SEVEN OF THEM HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY THE STATE.
WE'RE OUR TOTAL OF THE INVOICE IS 77. WE'RE UP TO 188 AS OF YESTERDAY.
BUT YOU'LL SEE HERE THAT THE STATE ALLOWS US TO BILL FOR THE ADMIN TIME.
SO THAT'S OUR NEW COLUMN WHERE YOU'LL SEE THE 346 THERE IS, THAT'S HOW MUCH WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO BUILD A STATE FOR THE WORK THAT THE ADMIN FOLKS HAVE DONE ON CREATING THE BILLS. WE'VE ALSO BROKEN IT OUT INTO HOW MUCH IT'S BEEN BILLED FOR EQUIPMENT AND HOW MUCH HAS BEEN BILLED FOR THE EMPLOYEES EXPENSES, WHICH IS FOOD AND LODGING AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
AND WHAT WE SPEND. SO THAT IS THE REPORT IN A NUTSHELL.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I'M JUST SURPRISED THAT THE EDMOND BUILDING, THAT THE ADMIN BUILDING IS SO LOW TO ME. TO ME, IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD TAKE MORE TIME TO GO THROUGH AND DO ALL THIS.
YEAH, WE ESTIMATE THAT WE GET ABOUT HALF OF THE TIME THAT WE ACTUALLY SPEND ON THOSE, AND THAT'S ONCE WE HAVE A YEAR'S WORTH OF DATA AND WE HAVE A BETTER TREND THAT SHOULD BE A DISCUSSION WITH THE CHIEFS TO THE STATE IS MY GUESS.
BUT BASED ON AN 18 MONTH ANALYSIS WE WERE LOOKING AT WE WERE LOOKING AT WHY, YOU KNOW, WHY THAT NUMBER IS SO LOW. AND IT TO US BASED ON OUR TIME, IT'S ABOUT HALF OF WHAT WE'RE SPENDING ON THE BUILDING.
OKAY. SOME OF THAT'S INTERNAL. WE CAN LOWER SOME OF THAT.
AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE WILDLAND FOLKS TO DO THAT.
BUT A LOT OF IT IS JUST THE PROCESS WITH THE STATE.
I MEAN, THIS THIS SEASON SO FAR YOU'LL SEE THE, THE, THERE'S ONE THAT SAYS ONE OF TWO UP THERE AND FIRE THAT CROSSED THE THE BOUNDARY OF THE CONTRACT WITH THE STATE.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE GETTING THERE. WE'RE SPEEDING UP THE PROCESS.
SO. OH, THE ONE THING I DID FORGET TO TELL YOU, AND I EVEN SAID, REMEMBER, IT IS AND I WROTE IT DOWN ON MY STICKY NOTE, BUT IT'S THE BOTTOM LINE IN APRIL, YOU'LL SEE THAT'S 354.
WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE FRONT IS TOTAL CASH COLLECTED.
[00:50:02]
THIS IS AFTER THE REFUNDS HAVE BEEN APPLIED. SO THAT'S WHY THE NUMBERS ARE 4000.SO WE REFUNDED ABOUT $4,000. THE FIRST AMOUNT IS JUST CASH COLLECTION THAT CAME IN.
SO AGAIN WE HAVE TO WORK ON DEFINITIONS AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THESE REPORTS AND YOU'RE SEEING VARIANCES. THERE'S EXPLANATIONS TO THEM. WE JUST HAVEN'T DONE A GREAT JOB OF MAKING SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE DEFINITIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS. THANKS.
