All right, the time is now 3.01 p.m. We'll go ahead and call the workshop number three budget to order. Good afternoon, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioners. This is workshop number three going over the entire budget. Again, this is workshop number three going over operating and capital. We did have a capital budget session, so this is meeting number four in this year's budget process. I prepared a short agenda for today. I'm going to go through that agenda, and then we can answer any questions that you guys might have as part of your review. We did send out the books last week as part of the agenda process, so hopefully you had some time to review the changes, and we'll go over those changes from last workshop. Commissioner. Last time we met, I offered a motion loaded for the 28 or whatever to be equally divided. I want to restend that to the 2.5%. Mr. Mayor, may I be recognized? Can you see the clerk? Thank you. Just to, I know that there was a lot of discussion, but just for clarity, that there was no motions made because it was a workshop, so there was no voting, so you guys were just in discussion at that time as to what you felt that you might have agreed to. All the people have to do so. And I will. Now for 2.5%. I do have that as a discussion point as part of the agenda, so when we get there, we'll open the floor and be able to discuss that a little further. I want to start off on page 5 of your books. It is the overview of the budget as a whole. So it should look like th …

Thank you. Good afternoon, C-Ray Board. So, we'll start with 327. We have now completed, we have a balanced budget for District 327. All I wanted to show is in terms of the arts of beaut ification, what is incorporated. Really quickly, just to make sure we're on page 2. I know your page is a little bit different. The first page in the book, page 205. Apologies. New changes here in under 327. Since from workshop 2 to workshop 3. Ultimately, if you were to move to page 7. That's where we see that underneath the arts of beaut ification. Just to clarify, those initiatives are for the historical downtown building markers. Wayfinding signs. And then for some type of art mural for the railroad bridge on Henson Avenue. Vice Chair. Thank you. Just one quick question, Alex. For railroad Henson Avenue, is that the only location for the mural? Because I thought it was going to be anywhere within that district, not just one-scale location. We had talked about that railroad, and that's what I assumed the board was wanting to do. If that's not the direction the board wants to focus on, then we're happy to do another location. Do we own that? That is an excellent question. That's probably the property of C. C. That is the next one. There has been – I've looked into it over the last year or so, and I can't say I can find who is – who to get permission exactly from. We do own it, but there is some type of ‑‑ we do the maintenance on it. It hasn't been utilized, but there's some type of regulat …

All right, thank you all the time is now 106 p.m. on July 21st. I'm going to call the city commission's workshop to order. At this time, we're going to discuss two items. One item that we were not able to discuss on last Thursday 's meeting, which is going to be item number two, which is the city manager selection. We would then go to our third item on the agenda, which is going to be the city attorney. Let me make a correction. So we're going to have a workshop to discuss the tab ulations for the city manager. First, followed by a workshop to entertain and have conversation with the city attorney applicants that we have . Mr. Mayor, quickly. Commissioner West. If I may look like that, it appears that we have candidates for the city attorney selection. Some are on Zoom already. Some are standing by. And I don't know if it's possible. Could we flip them around and do them? And they don't have to sit through the city manager selection and do that secondary and take care of the attorney portion because we have people here already waiting. Okay. And I do believe we have both candidates for us to consider present. We do have, it appears to be, two members online. And I believe there are two members of that firm in the audience and one additional member here. We initially had three. And I think that may have been posted on the agenda. But subsequently, one of those members, one of those applicants had withdrawn their application. Is that correct, Madam President? That's correct. Ok …

Good morning again. Apologies for my charting this. There was an accident on 27. So, not there for about 40 minutes. But, good morning as we go into our second budget workshop for this DRA. So, I've done this presentation in the order of the book that we just presented to you. And so, if you will meet things along, we'll jump in to the quick overview for both districts. In terms of the revenues, the 385,960 from district 327, 10 .8 million for district 328. You'll see that we will have balanced the budget for 327. And for 328, there will be roughly 1.18 million left to be allocated. So, this portion you won't see in your booklet. This is just an overview. When I'm going to 327, I follow the itemized booklet. So, if you can see it, this is just like a quick little overview of what you'll be seeing. So, I'm going to go ahead and see. Okay. So, I'm looking at 327, right? That you're budgeting 385,000. But you're also stating that move at 328. That's correct. This is an overview. So, on it is 327 and 328. We balanced the budget for 327. So, there's zero to be allocated. And in 328, we still have about 1.18 million that we will have to talk about today and allocate. So, what's changed between the first workshop and this workshop? Revenue, number one, from the Lake Eva Hall. We have that as a line item now in 328, which increased by 175,000. Grants and aid is reduced. This includes the development incentives, which were reduced by half a million. The operating expenditures have gon …
