and asking everyone case there is a budget amendment that is being proposed these are normally result of unexpected expenditures that arise during the year on the reality is the budget amendment this year is actually fairly modest you know the two thousand and seventeen budget was overdue twenty three million dollars the most significant of the items that are included in the budget regard to the acquisition of lay and now there's the indication that we have we may or may not pay out those additional funds this year but i thought it was appropriate that we actually budget those in case before the end of the units was a little over twenty nine thousand dollars in terms of the iraqi budget there was an additional fourteen thousand nine hundred dollars spent to install computers in thousand dollars that was offset by reductions in elsewhere in the in the budget so it was no additional cost as a result of that and then finally  when we put the budget together one of the things we do is to get you laid out the total cost of public works department sellers and these are all assigned in the program the areas and what happens through the year is depending on the nature of the winter or other conditions it may be that money that was program for one area actually gets spent somewhere else so one of the big things last year was if you recall we had a very mild winter the other thing that we had done was the challenge of the public works department to take on a larger role in the maintenance of the buildings so one of the things that is afforded them the opportunity to do was extensive work in the lease the station as well as the library so what you see is that there's an increase in the amount of money that was spent in those locations and in this year was completed because that project was smaller and actually the unit came in substantially less than what had been initiated and as a result of some savings in some additional areas we were able to do that project within the amount of money that would have been budgeted for is so there's really not a change that's been shown in the budget which surprised us that that actually occurred that way but that was a good thing that we hear this was the slightest been repaired in his saying that pavey may have courage as early as next week you are going to probably see a change order what they had in dissipated least in one area the other thing is when the undercut the roadway discovered that there really isn't much of a roadway there and they're down the red dot so they're going to have repaired the base before the even so you're going to probably see a change order at the next taxes and then there are a set of non tax revenues that are also a significant source a source of funds so we do with regard to tax revenues there are  and the responsibility for those assessments rest with washington county in two thousand eight hundred we predict the revenues will be over five million dollars and that represents a third set of the total tax revenue now what is  resulted in additional burdens of a township the other thing is that the one of the things that we're see is that as our buildings are beginning to age just like you had the  and had to be replaced for the play station next year we're starting to see those kind of the need to spend money on those kind of things to keep the buildings in good shape  dollars and that represents about eleven percent of the tax revenues now you know a lot of that has to do with the amount of activity there is in the real estate market one of the things that may be the is service next year is going to be unchanged the one thing that i will point out to you and i think it's important for the community to understand is that our contract ends at december thirty first there's really only two ways to do that and and that either by altering the amount of money that's spent on capital projects or altering the amount of money to spend on personnel so this is another way to look at that saying so if you take the money spent on capital projects in the money that is spent on personnel costs you're looking at two thirds of the budget and that's not level of staffing the difference would be the nature of the position and responsibilities of that person in that position one of the things that is occurring next year we're continuing to have additional retirements we're going to be the other challenge next year is going to be your opportunity is that the firefighters labor contract expired in the summer of the rebirth probably by the middle of the year we will be in a position to begin the start of the negotiate that labor contract in terms of capital projects what i wanted to point out to council was that you know we have really really fall into two different categories one is we have a series of of reoccurring capital projects that we expect to see every year we expect that we're going to be paving roads every year and next year that's a million two hundred fifty thousand dollars we expect that we're going to really be replacing big holes that come to the end of their lives but there are as th year there are a series of one time projects that are out there and by their very nature they or they represent significant expenditures and this kind of gets to the question to mr louis  a budget of four hundred seventy five thousand dollars that that's a significant amount of money to be spent at any one time out of excess revenues that haven't been raised over the years so the one and i the one that i would like to point out to you is because it really is a commitment for a future of bending a much more significant size is the design of the rolling hills the roadway that is the twenty when there roadway in the intersection improvements are being constructed and in quite honestly i believe the only way that that could be done is for the township to borrow funds to complete that project that the one of the charges that caused him concern what you see is occurring is you have years where expenditures have greatly exceeded or have truck the one of the actually concerns me more than any is we're actually back in two thousand and fifty because here is a case where you don't have those those one time expenditures and you were in a situation where expenditures were were exceeding revenues now one of the things i will tell you is that every year if you go back and we'll get the budget as they are proposed you will see this gap and every year this gap gets closed and the reason why why that is that the revenues violent what i'm going to end with was these what i believe the challenges and opportunities in two thousand and eighteen are we have this firefighter labor contract that ends in the summer of thirty burthen and i think it is good it is a challenge and an opportunity i think we expand substantial sums of money in the actual development of the park itself you are committed to assisting with the cost of that roadway that will service the school district and the end of her and that will be a significant  on an addition to what our formal responsibilities are and to do it right takes on one of the things that i would like to be able to do if we have time next year with the township has for that money aside the downside to that is once that money goes into that trust is the longer available to the township on for it's own purposes so if it's we can enter that decision to do a ninety acres parcel that will not be built in one fell swoop and it will be very much like peters would or it will be a work in progress over many years because when have always appreciated fact that the council has been very vocal about making sure there's adequate bottles to be able to do that which is needed but also being good stewards in terms of body raising taxes that actually receive recognition and all three of these program areas and what that means to residents is that their budgets and their financial statements are being prepared in a way that  recognized by the government finance officers association and that is the organization that said stay interested in this area so i think that's an important accomplishment and it's it's not only  that field is through a transformer located here there was a need to have an additional transformer in closer to where the concession is the end is and so what this does because of the the how tight the nature of that site is down there it's going to be a very challenging project to get lights in down there there was pre planning where actually when the there was proposal but we do not have that yet from them so  january planing commission docket normally prior to doing them we would require a developer to actually subdivided property so that the their project would be contained on or partially own but i think it's in everybody's interest to put all that subdivision until such time is that we have the exact location of the roadway so rather than to subdivide the the rest of the townships address to do that because i think we would end up doing this twice or make a motion that we grant that peter's township school district a departure from our normal regulation so that they can delay submitting a s was to go out and get a commercial was to finance that and what i suggested is that it might make sense because we have done this with other athletic organisations is that actually it was on the money to the relief association so that they might be able to avoid the interest cost associated with financing that purchase and they their calculations are that that would be a savings of approximately thirty five thousand  we're to physicians to be able to do that i would say that if we if we in fact go ahead with this that we probably probably will for this from doing similar arrangements before nice to see everybody again how this how this would be funded as paula said earlier in a meeting for him far relief at forty five money comes into the municipality every year and goes to the fire department for money less fears of an averaging one hundred twenty five competitive paul's right we would pay about thirty five thousand dollars over the life alone in interest how will pay for this three hundred thousand dollars every year we also get fifteen thousand dollars from the state to be used for capital improvements and debt relief so we put that to this every year so that seventy five of the three hundred twenty five of the balance over five years is about thirty three percent of the room believe budget of hundred twenty five two hundred thirty five this is how we finance the year we had now fifteen years ago we had a lot less money so the other things that get purchased out of the relief of cal and why it's beneficial for us to apply for this loan even more so the relief association it's tough for me i speak on both hats at times but the firefighters turn out  national park protection association effective in january and of course the energy behind so the what that means is the packs we have while they're still working we've never had a catastrophic failure the main its doors are coming up there's probably no one wants a buyback that's for standards behind so there's as you're aware we are selling o station one and still be in general from station to some point in time it's possible that we'll move the spare apparatus with the butter truck is out of station one backup the station one from station two so that we will have  yet but if you wanted you could begin to do interviews of individuals next week another one thing i should tell you is that the the magazine is scheduled to come out next week and in that magazine there is also an appeal to people to volunteer for these boards so if there was a reason the way it would be that you would have additional applican this i think we've talked before about their concern i have and i imagine other people have about attendance i certainly don't expect people to attend one hundred percent but if you've missed fifty percent of the meetings this year and want reappointed i think conversation needs to occur before that happens i think there are other criteria we need to talk about we've experienced some unfortunate situations this past year and you know the idea of being a resident in good standing needs a township based organisation and the way the policy is that is that when a known township organisation chooses to use the bridge it can only be done with the approval of coun be received by the community and the viability of these developments and as it turns out they have the fossils on half of these
