and accept comments on the post budget received this evening's hearing was advertise in observer reporter on november seventeenth and twenty fourth here you know this was placed on touch a bulletin boards the website and cable television copies of the proposed budget were available at the website at the library and at the municipal building council is expected to act on the budget at the december fifteenth meeting prior to accepting comments mr sylvester will make presentation on the you said earlier that by just been available in the library on the website for get into the two thousand and fifteen budget we want to take a quick look at the two thousand and fourteen budget performance  two million dollars less than budgeted and this is in part due to projects coming in under budget as well as a couple of big projects were deferred or cancelled this year  building construction was actually lower than the two thousand and thirteen year we have eighty nine new residential permits that were issues during this budget year and  maintaining roads that the desired level and we had a number of park rangers projects completed including replacing the c r c lights which we did in house new playground or reach par association with the replacement of their bubble due to damage from the winter and the council was good on the association three hundred thousand dollars for the bubble project and  for next year because a hundred fifty two thousand two hundred ninety five has gone up the last few years and then the total number of households is seven thousand seven hundred six and as i said in the prior worship we did make an services taxes three thirty five years there's a concerted push by keystone along with mr lauer to make sure that all the employers are collecting the local services tax and that's been a big state limitations so in the case that we have the ability to borrow we need to for any major project grants represent two point two million thirty percent of the budget that's a largest  recycling years that includes the money that we've been awarded for the the to the container program to purchase the sixty five yard containers for recycling as well as the cardboard contractor fees permits only fees this is graphically depicts that as you can see are and income taxes are number one source of income and real estate number two that gap continues department and then one of the big items in two thousand and fifteen will be negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement with the police department without budget implications how so how this waste project that's a gr d dependent project that we do every two years we place in police station camrose repainting the radio tower and replacing tasers are some of the smaller items and in the budget s cost of increased by forty percent so shone through the fifty thousand in the budget for salt that's based on a moderate to severe winter and we're hoping that in two thousand and sixteen those numbers will go back down to a normal number one of things not shown in the budget but we are looking at is a single intersection planning grant there's a new green light go green at that the state has that fifty percent matching grant that can be used for putting in new signals or also modernizing or upgrading existing signals and we're going to be reviewing that in coming back to council we feel that that's something stormwater point replacing or adding additional directional signs in the parks placing mobile radios purchasing picnic tables for the new shelter replacement health insurance is going up pie chart here for an overall expenditures public works is the the largest at thirty one percent mainly because of capital projects at fifty percent as capital projects in the rest is up other operating salaries operating expenditures you know this will become public safety will become the number one because it's just driven by personnel costs and then public works goes down to twenty percent for costs insurances start at fifteen percent followed by general government recreation general government kluge ministry of staff as well as engineering and  or so you know through the last five years which indicates that we've been spending within our armies some of the major projects that are proposed for two thousand and  or project we have four point almost four point six million dollars in capital projects proposed a number of them or are grant funding general government primary projects or technique technology and not included in the presentation that we made today but that we need to look at one is the assessed value we finally got the official number from the county it wasn't that much of a change from our estimate slightly down in tax bill state number we're still trying to get a number from and by that number but i think what was in the room was twenty thousand put twenty thousand in we don't expect it to be that much but we haven't had a new insurance appraisal for seven years we get any y updates and insurance companies are saying you know they say they want to see a new complete appraisal how we work at it going out at the end of the year for insurance for two thousand and sixteen anyway so we're going to try to get that done earlier so check when we talk about the fire staffing our department staffing we have talked about possibly increasing the total hours they were allocated from part time in my mind i thought we had agreed with me to buy that up a little bit does anyone remember that using to replace full time positions and in addition to the fifty four hundred hours that we would have for a normal part time which i believe we will be more than enough to cover our our our needs for schedule  that project is conditioned upon receipt of korea we won't know till sometime in january as to whether or not the the county will approve that then it has to go to the state for approval
