[2. Discussion and possible action on the Angleton Better Living Corporation, Recreation division, and Angleton Recreation Center division YTD financial statements as of July 31, 2023.]

GOOD EVENING. SO ITEM NUMBER ONE IS DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE ANGLETON BETTER LIVING CORPORATION MEETING OF JULY 24TH, 2023.

I HAD A NOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING.

I'LL SECOND IT. I HAVE A MOTION A SECOND TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.

FOR THE DISCUSSION. VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. AYE. OPPOSED.

SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

NUMBER TWO DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE ABLAK RECREATION DIVISION AND NELSON RECREATION CENTER DIVISION.

YEAR TO DATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JULY 31ST, 2023.

GOOD EVENING. AS OF JULY 31ST, THE ABLAK HAD A FUND BALANCE OF 305,249 50.

THE RECREATION FUND.

IF MY FINGERS WOULD WORK, I APOLOGIZE.

HAD A FUND BALANCE OF $85,723.27.

IN THE RECREATION CENTER.

HAD A FUND BALANCE OF 314,483 34.

AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE OVER THE FINANCIALS.

ON. THE FIRST QUESTION IS WHERE DO WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO FINISH WITH THAT? IS IT GOING TO. WINDOW, 3000, 200,000.

IS IT ALL ACCOUNTED FOR? ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE FUND BALANCE? WELL, ACTUALLY, SO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING WILL GET A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO IT.

BUT BASED ON SOME OF THE CLASSIFICATIONS AND OR RECLASS ITEMS AS WELL AS THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE LATER ON IN OUR PACKET, WE ARE TRYING TO WORK WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE EXPENSE LINE ITEMS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE THIS FISCAL YEAR SO THAT WE ARE NOT DIPPING INTO ANY OF OUR ABLC FUND BALANCE.

HOWEVER, WITH THAT BEING SAID, ONE OF THE LAST MEETINGS OR THE LAST MEETING, WE TALKED ABOUT HOW WE HAD PAID AN ADDITIONAL DEBT SERVICE LAST YEAR.

WHILE WE'RE UTILIZING THAT SAVINGS TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME OF THESE SHORTFALLS, FOR INSTANCE, YOUR ABLC CONTINGENCY YOU'VE ALREADY SPENT OVER WHAT WAS BASICALLY BUDGETED.

SO IN ORDER TO NOT PULL FROM YOUR FUND BALANCE, WE'RE PULLING FROM THE ADDITIONAL DEBT SERVICE SAVINGS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO WE'RE STILL HOPING, I GUESS, TO SAY ALL THAT TO SAY WE'LL HAVE.

AN ESTIMATED.

ESTIMATE PROBABLY 350IN THE.

SO WE HAVE SOME MONEY TO.

CORRECT. SO NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE YOU'LL HAVE THAT FUND BALANCE, BUT YOU'LL ALSO HAVE ABOUT 260,000 IN A CONTINGENCY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO UTILIZE ALL OF. I THINK AS THE YEAR GOES ON, WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE REQUESTS AND.

THE LINE ITEM BUDGET.

WE? UM, ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ITEM NUMBER TWO? THERE'S NO ACTION TAKEN FROM.

OKAY. I DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING IS COMING FROM IT.

IT'S JUST AN UPDATE. THAT POSSIBLE ACTION, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.

YOU KNOW, AND I JUST HAVE A COMMENT FROM THE THE MINUTES.

I'M SURE IT'S JUST A TYPO.

IT. EVERYTHING'S FINE.

EXCEPTING THAT I.

[3. Discussion on Angleton Recreation Center Performance Measures and current memberships.]

THAT LAST LINE.

[00:05:03]

LET ME GO BACK. I.

UPON THE MOTION BY DIRECTOR EBY AND SECONDED BY DIRECTOR EBY.

SO I'M SURE.

WHETHER I WHETHER I MADE THE MOTION OR SECONDED IT.

I'M SURE IT'S JUST A TYPO THAT WE CAN CORRECT.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM NUMBER THREE. DISCUSSION ON ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND CURRENT MEMBERSHIPS.

YEAH. SO WE WANTED TO BRING BEFORE YOU TODAY JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON AS FAR AS WHERE REVENUE GOES AS WE'RE OBVIOUSLY IN THE MIDST OF BUDGET SEASON.

SO WE WANTED TO JUST PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT FOR WHERE THE RECREATION CENTER IS AT SPECIFICALLY.

SO YOU'LL SEE THE CHART HERE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A COMPARISON FROM WHAT WAS LAST YEAR.

SO FY 21 TO 22.

AND THEN WHAT IS THIS CURRENT YEAR? THESE NUMBERS ARE ONLY REFLECTIVE UP TO JULY 31ST.

SO WE JUST WANT TO POINT OUT SOME OF THOSE.

SO AS YOU LOOK AT THE BUDGET WISE TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT FINANCIALLY AND SOME OF THOSE TRENDS THAT WE'RE SEEING.

SO FIRST ONE WE'LL GO THROUGH IS OUR FAMILY MEMBERSHIP.

OUR CURRENT YEAR TO DATE AS OF THE 31ST WAS 144,000, WHICH IS, AS YOU CAN SEE, ABOUT 36,000 ABOVE WHAT WE PROJECTED FOR THIS YEAR.

YOU WILL NOTICE ON THE INDIVIDUAL ONE, THE NEXT LINE DOWN, WE ARE AT 65,000.

SO WE ARE A LITTLE BIT UNDER BUDGET ON THAT ONE.

I WILL SAY THE GOOD NEWS IS A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO BE GOING MORE TOWARDS THE FAMILY MEMBERSHIP VERSUS THE INDIVIDUAL.

SO THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE SOME OF THE UPTICK THERE.

SO EASILY MAKES UP THE DIFFERENCE WITH THAT.

THE SENIOR MEMBERSHIP, I WILL POINT THIS ONE OUT SPECIFICALLY.

WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE BRINGING IN SENIOR MEMBERSHIP REVENUE.

AS YOU REMEMBER, WE CHANGED OUR MEMBERSHIP REVENUE STRUCTURE LAST YEAR IS WHAT MEMBERSHIPS WERE OFFERED.

WE DON'T HAVE A SENIOR OFFERING ANY LONGER.

IT IS THROUGH A DISCOUNT.

SO EVERYTHING IS CAPTURED WITHIN THE FAMILY AND THE INDIVIDUAL.

HOWEVER, AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T ACCOUNT FOR WAS, I SHOULD SAY NOT ACCOUNT FOR, BUT WE DID ANTICIPATE GOING INTO THAT LINE WAS OUR SPECIALTY MEMBERSHIPS. SO WE HAVE MEMBERSHIPS FOR SILVER AND FITS, RENEW, ACTIVE AND SILVER SNEAKERS.

SO THOSE ARE PARTNERSHIPS WE HAVE WITH THOSE PROGRAMS, A WAY THAT WE RECEIVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING OUTSIDE OF OUR NORMAL MEMBERSHIPS.

SO WE FELT THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO REALLY CAPTURE THAT IN A DIFFERENT REVENUE STREAM SO WE COULD KIND OF SEE WHAT OUR SENIOR PARTICIPATION IS.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A ZERO WAS BUDGETED FOR THAT.

BUT WE DO STILL CAPTURE THAT AND THAT'S AGAIN THE REVENUE THAT COMES IN FROM THOSE THREE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. YEAR TO DATE ON THAT ONE IS ABOUT 11,500 ROOM RENTALS IS YOUR NEXT ONE.

CURRENT YEAR TO DATE IS WE'RE A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN OUR PROJECTION IS.

I DID RUN SOME NUMBERS TODAY IN AUGUST DOES LOOK PRETTY GOOD BUT WE ARE A LITTLE BIT DOWN ON THAT AND TRYING TO FIND STRATEGIC WAYS.

AND HOPEFULLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE WE'LL BE PRESENTING SOME REVENUE CHANGES TO THAT.

AS FAR AS RENTALS GO, SOME THINGS WE'VE IDENTIFIED TO INCREASE OUR REVENUE.

DAILY ENTRY FEE IS ANOTHER ONE THAT HAS INCREASED.

WE WENT FROM A PROJECTED OR WENT FROM 143,000 TO 161,000, WHICH IS UP ABOUT 18,000 THERE.

AND THEN OUR RC PROGRAMS KIND OF EXPLAIN THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT.

SO THIS WAS BUDGETED OUT OF AN ESCROW ACCOUNT.

SO WE WERE ORIGINALLY GOING THROUGH AND TRYING TO BALANCE OFF WHAT WAS COMING IN FOR THAT OUT OF THE, I SHOULD SAY, THE PAYMENTS THAT WERE WE WERE MAKING TOWARDS THE INSTRUCTOR WERE COMING OUT OF WHAT WE WERE MAKING FROM IT.

WE DECIDED THIS YEAR TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE TRANSPARENT MOVING FORWARD.

SO IN NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET WE'VE ACTUALLY ALLOCATED THOSE IN TWO SEPARATE LINES.

SO WE HAVE A REVENUE LINE AND EXPENSE LINE.

WHAT OUR PLAN IS THIS YEAR WAS TO MAKE THAT REVENUE OR THAT ESCROW LINE ZERO.

SO THE REVENUE WE'VE HAD THIS YEAR IS ABOUT 4500 AND THERE'S ABOUT $10,000.

THAT WAS FROM THE THREE PREVIOUS YEARS.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS WE WANTED TO MAKE THE TRANSPARENCY THERE IS BECAUSE IT'S SAT IN THERE FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS.

SO BY MAKING IT A REVENUE EXPENSE EACH YEAR, YOU'LL SEE THE REVENUE AND EACH YEAR YOU'LL SEE THE EXPENSE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

BUT AS OF CURRENT YEAR TO DATE, WE HAVE ABOUT 14,000 IN REVENUE IN THAT ACCOUNT THAT WOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO OUR REVENUE ACCOUNTS.

ALL IN TOTAL. YOU'LL SEE THERE IS RIGHT NOW WE'RE UP ABOUT 46,000 AS FAR AS WE WERE FROM THE YEAR PRIOR.

AND SO WE'RE MAKING THOSE TRANSITIONS AND SEEING SOME GOOD REVENUE COME IN.

AND AGAIN, THAT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER TO GET US THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO SO LAST YEAR'S BEING YEAR TO ALL FULL YEAR OR WAS IT YEAR TO DATE?

[00:10:03]

THAT WAS LAST YEAR FULL YEAR.

SO ANYTHING BETWEEN THESE TWO MONTHS IS A LITTLE BIT.

YEAH IF IF YOU LOOK AT SO WE PUT OUT OUR MONTHLY PROJECTIONS, OUR PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ON A REGULAR BASIS THAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE EMAILED OUT TO EVERYBODY AS WELL.

AS FAR AS MEMBERSHIPS AND DAY PASSES, WE'VE ALREADY HIT OUR GOAL FOR THIS YEAR FOR WHAT WAS BUDGETED.

SO ANYTHING MOVING FORWARD FROM THIS YEAR IS ALL POSITIVE FOR US.

OBVIOUSLY THE THE NEGATIVE HE WILL ROOM RENTALS IS DOWN BUT WE ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO MAKE THAT UP WITH OUR OTHER REVENUES.

POINT OF HOUSEKEEPING AND THE IT SAYS FISCAL YEAR 2021, 2022 BUDGETED ACTUALS.

RIGHT. AND THEN WHAT WOULD BE REALLY NICE ALSO.

KILL THE BUDGET NUMBER FOR THESE ITEMS. YEAR OVER YEAR AND YEAR OVER BUDGET.

OKAY. CAN DO.

HOW SUCCESSFUL WE ARE. DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING THAT WAS PRESENTED? MY QUESTION IS YOU'VE ALREADY SAID YOU HAVE SOME THINGS IN REGARDS TO ROOM RENTALS THAT YOU'RE THINKING.

DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF WHY ROOM RENTALS ARE DOWN OR PEOPLE JUST NOT? SPENDING MONEY ON PARTIES OR SOME OF IT HONESTLY CAN BE FACTORED INTO A COUPLE OF THINGS JUST BASED ON AVAILABILITY THAT THEY HAVE. SO WE'VE CHANGED SOME OF THE OFFERINGS AND WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.

IT'S KIND OF AN EBB AND FLOW THAT GOES THROUGH IT.

ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT WE'RE SEEING IS IT DOESN'T SEEM AS MANY LARGE RENTALS ARE COMING IN AS BEFORE.

A LOT OF SMALLER ONES ARE COMING IN.

THE REVENUE SIDE OF THINGS IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE WERE TAKING A LOOK AT IS WHEN WE INCREASED INDIVIDUAL DAY PASSES LAST YEAR, WE DID NOT INCREASE THAT TO COINCIDE WITH THE RENTALS.

SO SOME OF OUR RENTALS ARE A PACKAGE DEAL TO WHERE IT GETS YOU A ROOM AND IT GETS YOU INTO THE FACILITY.

SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE RECOGNIZED.

THAT IS ACTUALLY AN AREA FOR GROWTH FOR US IS THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE COINCIDED TO INCREASE THE PRICE OF OUR RENTALS.

OTHER ONES JUST BEING THE HEATS AND THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.

THE FACILITY HAS BEEN PACKED THIS SUMMER, SO WE THINK THAT MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON IT AS WELL.

THOSE WHO ARE COMING TO VISIT THE FACILITY SEE THAT IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE OVERWHELMING TO TRY TO BRING ANOTHER 25 TO 50 PEOPLE IN WHEN THE POOL IS ALREADY AT CAPACITY. AND THIS IS JUST A RANDOM THOUGHT AND JUST A QUESTION.

IS THE REC CENTER AVAILABLE TO RENT AS AN EVENT IF YOU WANTED? BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THE KIND OF THING.

IF YOU WANTED AN EVENT FACILITY AND YOU WANTED TO HAVE A RETIREMENT PARTY OR A WEDDING OR WHATEVER, AND YOU WANTED TO HAVE ACCESS TO ALL OF IT, IS THAT A PACKAGE THAT IS THAT YOU ALL OFFER THAT IS AVAILABLE? THERE ARE PACKAGES AVAILABLE FOR THAT.

SO LIKE THE GYM IS AVAILABLE FOR RENT AND THAT GOES THROUGH A DIFFERENT PROCESS.

SO IT HAS TO GO THROUGH A DIFFERENT APPROVAL PROCESS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, BUT IT DOES HAVE THE OPTION TO DO THAT.

EXAMPLE I WOULD GIVE THERE IS AN INDIVIDUAL REACHED OUT WANTING TO HOST A KARATE TOURNAMENT SO HE WOULD RUN THE ENTIRE GYM AND POTENTIALLY AN ADJACENT ROOM.

IT DID NOT END UP GOING THROUGH, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO DO.

YOU HAVE THAT? OKAY.

GOOD. AWESOME LOOKS.

LOOKS GREAT. I WAS PULLED DOWN.

HOW? I'D BE LYING IF I TOLD YOU OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

BUT I WOULD SAY COMPARED TO WHAT I REMEMBER FROM LAST YEAR, IT WAS PROBABLY LESS A AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T REALLY GOT RAIN, SO WE'RE THE RAIN COMES THUNDERSTORMS. SO GOOD NEWS THERE.

SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO CLOSE AS MUCH.

AND THEN WE PUT SOME DIFFERENT MEASURES IN PLACE TO TRY TO MITIGATE ANY ACCIDENTS HAPPENING INTO POOL AND THE POOL THAT WE WOULD NEED TO CLOSE DOWN FOR.

SO IT WAS PRETTY MINIMAL THIS YEAR COMPARED TO WHAT IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST.

YEAH, EARLY IN THE SUMMER WE DID HAVE SOME WEATHER DELAYS, BUT USUALLY THOSE WERE MORE OF PASSTHROUGHS.

SO IT WAS NEVER A FULL CLOSURE THAT WE HAD TO BE CONCERNED OVER.

SO NO, OUR PLAYGROUNDS, OUR PLAY STRUCTURE INSIDE THE POOL ON RIGHT SLIDES, THE THE SMALL PLAY FEATURE THAT IS CURRENTLY OFFLINE.

SO THAT DID GO DOWN BEGINNING OF SUMMER.

UNFORTUNATELY, TOO, WE'VE HAD SOME DIFFICULTIES FINDING PEOPLE TO A REPAIR IT, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT REPLACEMENTS OF IT OR REMOVING THE FEATURE ALTOGETHER. WE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON THAT THROUGH SUMMER BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED US TO SHUT DOWN ANY REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO DRAIN THE

[00:15:08]

POOL. SO IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TIMELY SHUTDOWN FOR US.

SO WE WERE WAITING UNTIL NON-PEAK SEASON TO DO THAT.

MIGHT BE SOMETHING. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT SEA LINE FOR THE NEXT BUDGET.

IT IS A USEFUL STRUCTURE FOR A LOT OF KIDS PARTIES.

YEAH. YOU WILL IF YOU'RE HOSTING.

YEAH. AND IS THAT IS THAT STRUCTURE THE ONE THAT'S OFFLINE AS YOU USE THE WORD? IS THAT ORIGINAL OR IS IT A REPLACEMENT? THAT'S AN ORIGINAL. SO THAT WOULD PUT IT AT, WHAT, ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD? JUST UNDER. YEAH, JUST SHY OF 20 YEARS.

YEAH. AND THERE'S BEEN SOME I MEAN, THE I CAN TELL YOU, NOT ALL THE FEATURES ON THAT ARE STILL OPERABLE.

SO SOME OF THE WATER FEATURES HAVE BEEN CAPPED OFF OR SHUT OFF IN THE PAST BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST OUTSIDE OF REPAIR ABILITY.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A ONE STOP SHOP, IF YOU WILL.

SO THERE HAVE BEEN SOME THINGS OVER TIME, BUT 20 YEARS IS PRETTY GOOD IN A AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT.

WHAT IS THE COST LOOK LIKE TO REPLACE THAT? I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.

WHAT IS THE COST LOOK LIKE TO REPLACE SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I MEAN, YOU'RE PROBABLY UPWARDS IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.

PROBABLY. MOST LIKELY WE WON'T GET SOMETHING THAT IS THE SAME KIND OF FEATURE THERE.

JUST BASED ON IT BEING 20 YEARS AGO.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN.

SO WE ARE WORKING WITH A NUMBER OF COMPANIES TO GET A PROPOSAL OF A DIFFERENT A FEW DIFFERENT AVENUES TO WHERE THEY CAN TRY TO USE THE SAME FOOTPRINT.

THE MAIN CONCERN IS WHERE THE WATER INFLOW COMES IN.

WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TAP INTO THAT.

SO THEY HAVE TO BE VERY STRATEGIC TO RETROFIT, IF YOU WILL, A NEW SYSTEM INTO WHAT OUR OLD SYSTEM WAS.

SO IT'LL PROBABLY BE PRETTY COSTLY.

BUT FOR SOMETHING IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, IT'S WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT.

I WAS JUST DON'T GO SMALLER.

THERE'S FEATURES IN THAT POOL AREA.

OH, YEAH. CHANCE WE GOT.

ABSOLUTELY. OF THE BIG SLIDE IS STILL.

YES. YEAH. THE BIG SITE IS STILL OPERATIONAL.

YEP. AND IS THE KITCHEN AREA STILL AVAILABLE IN THE RENTAL AREA OR DID WE TAKE THAT OUT?

[4. Discussion and possible action on Angleton Recreation Center end-of-year financial practices and creation of an Angleton Recreation Center fund balance.]

NO, IT'S STILL THERE. YEP.

YOU MEAN YET? I THOUGHT THERE WAS TALK AT ONE POINT.

WE WANTED. RENOVATE IT.

YEAH. TED HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT.

I ALSO HAVE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OF COURSE. I'M NUMBER FOUR.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON INGLETON RECREATION CENTER.

END OF YEAR FINANCIAL PRACTICES AND CREATION OF INGLETON RECREATION FUND BALANCE.

YES. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT, YOU KNOW, SINCE I CAME ON BOARD IN 2018 WAS A COMMON PRACTICE.

YET WHEN I ASKED ABOUT OUR RECORDS AND IF OFFICIAL ACTION HAD BEEN TAKEN, CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING FORMAL.

SO WE JUST WANT TO BRING IT TO ABLC TO MAKE THIS MORE OF A FORMAL PROCESS.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NEW TO THE BOARD OR ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE HISTORY, YEARS AGO, I BELIEVE IT WAS BONNIE CHURCH RECOMMENDED THAT ALL OF THE ABLC TRANSFER THAT WAS APPROVED IN BUDGET FOR THE INGLETON RECREATION CENTER WOULD THEN STAY.

SO NOW WE HAVE A INGLETON RECREATION CENTER FUND BALANCE, WHICH WE CAN COME BACK TO ABLC AND WE CAN UTILIZE THOSE FUNDS ALSO FOR PROJECTS MUCH LIKE THE WATER FEATURES.

HOWEVER, HERE WE ARE COMING BACK TO ABLC TO ENSURE THAT THAT IS THE PRACTICE YOU WANT TO USE MOVING FORWARD.

AND IF IT IS, LET'S FORMALIZE THAT.

SO IF IT IS NOT, THE ALTERNATIVE IS THAT WHATEVER WE DON'T MAKE UP IN REVENUE AT THE INGLETON RECREATION CENTER.

OR RATHER, LET ME REWORD THAT.

IF WE MAKE UP AN EXCESS IN REVENUE OF WHAT WE ORIGINALLY PROJECTED, THAT WOULD THEN JUST GO TO HELP COVER EVEN MORE EXPENSES RATHER THAN US PUTTING IT IN A FUND BALANCE SO THAT THE ABLC TRANSFER WOULD BE LESS AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR IF THAT WERE THE SCENARIO. THE ALTERNATIVE TO THAT, AGAIN, IF IT'S NOT, THE SCENARIO IS AND WHAT HAS BEEN COMMON PRACTICE IS IF THE INGLETON RECREATION CENTER DOES NOT HIT THE

[00:20:06]

REVENUE MARK AND WE HAVE EXPENDED ALL OF OUR EXPENDITURE FUNDS BUDGETED FOR THE YEAR, THEN ABLC PICKS UP THE ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES OR COVERS THE EXPENDITURES.

SO AGAIN, WE JUST WANT TO FORMALIZE IT, WHICHEVER IS OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.

AND JOHN, YOU MAY HAVE OR BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME MORE GUIDANCE OR INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, BUT WE JUST WANT TO FORMALIZE THE PROCESS MOVING FORWARD SO WE KNOW HOW YOU WOULD LIKE THAT FUND BALANCE TO BE HANDLED.

VAGUELY REMEMBER MS.. CHURCH AND THE WHOLE CONVERSATION.

WHAT IT WAS REALLY REGARDING WAS MAKING SURE THAT THE FUNDS WERE THERE.

ONCE THEY'VE BEEN MOVED OVER TO THE REC CENTER THAT THE REC CENTER WILL BE ABLE TO.

FUNDS, WHATEVER PROJECTS THEY NEED.

PROBLEM THAT STARTED OCCURRING OVER ITS REVENUES WEREN'T COMING IN.

THEY WERE DRAWING THAT DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE.

ZERO AND STILL HAVING TO BE COVERED BY THE AGENCY HERE.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW YEARS IN THE LAST I THINK IT'S BEEN A COMMON TREND LATELY THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD AN EXCESS.

WELL, AND ACTUALLY, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE AGAIN, WE WANT TO FORMALIZE BECAUSE WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT WAS HAPPENING.

WE BELIEVE ABC WAS STILL TRANSFERRING AND TRANSFERRING EVEN MORE.

AND SO WE HAD A IF YOU REMEMBER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN WE DID MAKE REPAIRS TO THE SLIDE, WE DID WE MADE SEVERAL DIFFERENT PURCHASES AND REPAIRS.

IT WAS ALL COMING FROM A FUND BALANCE THAT HAD ACCRUED OVER TIME AND THAT WE WEREN'T TAKING OUT OF FOR OUR END OF YEAR DEFICIT.

AND SO IT JUST WAS SITTING THERE AND COMPOUNDING AND COMPOUNDING.

AND SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO FUNCTION THAT WAY, AGAIN, WE CAN FORMALIZE IT, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN.

SO. MAYBE OK HAS 305,000.

AND WE HAVE THIS ADDITIONAL 135 OR IS THIS ALL PART OF THE SAME? I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND.

WHEN YOU'RE GOING OUT THE. 953.

HUNDRED AND 53.

THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS IN THE MEMO.

THE INGLETON RECREATION CENTER.

314 314 AMMO HERE SAYS 153,000.

THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE REPORT WAS WRITTEN.

THE AMOUNT THE 314,000 IS THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR FUND BALANCE OF 153.

PLUS THE EXCESS REVENUE OVER EXPENDITURES YEAR TO DATE.

SET THE REC CENTER BALANCE OR IS THAT THE ABC BALANCE? THAT'S THE REC CENTER.

OH, WOW. YEAH, WELL, THAT'S NICE.

OKAY. I DON'T KNOW.

I OPEN THIS UP TO THE BOARD TO HOWEVER WE WANT TO DO IT.

WANT TO. SAY THAT WHATEVER IS OVERAGE GOES BACK.

OR ABC DOESN'T HAVE TO COVER.

LESSEN THE TRANSFER.

UP TO THIS POINT. SO.

MAYBE I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY.

YOU WANT TO BASICALLY CODIFY THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER FUND BALANCE AS BEING THE ONE THAT RECEIVES.

ANY SORT OF.

END OF YEAR. NO.

SO ABLAK.

SO I'LL BREAK IT DOWN IN THIS WAY.

ABLAK HAS EXPENDITURE LINE ITEMS. WE HAVE OUR REVENUE LINE ITEM, SO HALF CENT SALES TAX IS COMING IN FOR REVENUE.

AND THEN WHATEVER WE DON'T SPEND IN OUR EXPENDITURES, IT GOES TO FUND BALANCE.

SO LIKE THE CONTINGENCY LINE ITEM THAT WE DO PROJECTS WITH, IF WE DON'T SPEND ALL OF IT, THAT'S GOING TO GO TO ABLAK FUND BALANCE AND JUST COMPOUND ON THAT 305 THAT WE ALREADY HAVE. CURRENTLY YOU HAVE THE SAME THING IN THE RECREATION DIVISION.

THEY HAVE EXPENDITURE LINE ITEM, THEY HAVE A REVENUE LINE ITEM.

SO IF THEY OFFER ALL THESE PROGRAMS AND THEY EXCEED THEIR REVENUE PROJECTIONS, THAT THEN ALSO GOES TO A FUND BALANCE FOR THE REC CENTER.

SAME THING FOR THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER.

ALL OF OUR MEMBERSHIPS, OUR RENTALS, ALL OF THAT.

IF WE EXCEED OUR REVENUE PROJECTIONS AND WE DON'T OVERSPEND ON OUR EXPENDITURES, THAT HAS ITS OWN FUND BALANCE.

[00:25:02]

SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THREE DIFFERENT FUND BALANCES.

IT WILL NOT IMPACT ABLAK UNLESS ABLAK HAS TO PICK UP.

LIKE FOR INSTANCE, IF WE DON'T HIT OUR REVENUE MARKS, THEN WE'D COME BACK TO ABLAK AND SAY, HEY, WE NEED YOUR HELP SUBSIDIZING.

OR YOU CAN SAY, DO YOU HAVE ANY MONEY IN YOUR ACTIVITY CENTER FUND BALANCE TO UTILIZE FOR THAT DEFICIT? SO WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS WHAT COULD HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S NOT CURRENTLY A FORMALIZED PROCESS.

THOSE FUNDS, WHATEVER WE DON'T MAKE UP IN ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER REVENUES AND OR NOT MAKE UP WHAT WE EXCEED IN ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER REVENUES AND EVEN RECREATION CENTER DIVISION.

THOSE COULD ALL BE GOING BACK TO ABLAK RATHER THAN HAVING THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL FUND BALANCE.

I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I WAS.

OKAY. SO CURRENTLY IT'S FORMATTED SO THAT THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL FUND BALANCE.

CORRECT. OKAY.

AND THE BENEFIT OF THAT COULD BE THAT IF THE RECREATION DIVISION NEEDS EQUIPMENT FOR NEW PROGRAMS, WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT THAT IN THE BUDGET.

WE CAN COME TO YOU AND SAY, HEY, WE WE HAVE A CASH POOL, A FUND BALANCE HERE THAT WE CAN PULL FROM TO START OFFERING KAYAK PROGRAMS OR WHATEVER.

SAME THING FOR THE ANGLETON REC CENTER.

SO AT ONE POINT, BONNIE CHURCH DECIDED WE SHOULD GO THIS OTHER ROUTE, THE PRESENT ROUTE? CORRECT. WHAT WAS DEEMED THE BENEFIT AT THAT TIME VERSUS BASICALLY DOING ANOTHER 180 AND GOING BACK TO WHERE WE WERE? WHAT WE WERE DOING PREVIOUSLY? HONESTLY, THAT WAS BEFORE MY TIME.

JOHN YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT.

THIS CHURCH WAS WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MONEY.

THAT WAS TO OPERATE.

STAYED WITH THE REC CENTER.

HE DID IT. THEY HAD IT ESPECIALLY WITH TIMING OF PROJECTS THAT WERE GOING ON.

SOMETHING WAS PLANNED AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THAT PERIOD.

IT DIDN'T GO BACK TO ABC.

IT STAYED WITH THE REC CENTER AND THEY COULD PULL IT FROM THE NEXT PERIOD.

THAT WAS KIND OF THE. OKAY.

SO. MY THOUGHT.

IS. I UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES OF THE YOU KNOW, THE.

SO CONCERNS.

OH, I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. NO, SO IT DOESN'T SO IF THERE'S A SURPLUS AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

YOU DON'T JUST START WITH THAT SURPLUS IN ALREADY IN THE BUDGET.

IT JUST STAYS THERE.

THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.

IT JUST STAYS THERE. RIGHT.

AND THERE'S NO WAY TO REALLY USE IT UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY BRING IT UP TO EITHER THIS BOARD OR THE CITY COUNCIL.

SO, NO, NO SET WAY TO USE IT.

WELL, AND YOU CAN LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, WE BROUGHT TO I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS BOTH ABC AND CITY COUNCIL, BUT ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WE NEEDED TO DO AT THE RECREATION CENTER TO DO SOME JUST VERY GENERAL UPGRADES, LIKE WE COULDN'T OPEN OUR BIG SLIDE ONE YEAR BECAUSE WE DIDN'T PASS AN INSPECTION, A TML INSPECTION, SO WE HAD TO GET IT UP TO SPEED.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT BUDGETED, SO WE WERE ABLE TO GO TO THAT FUND BALANCE RATHER THAN HITTING A BOX CONTINGENCY PROJECT ITEMS OR THEIR OWN FUND BALANCE SO IT CAN BENEFIT IT.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT IT CAN BENEFIT ABC TOO, BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BIG PROJECTS AND DEBT CAPACITY AND ADDITIONAL DEBT, IF YOU WERE TO TAKE THE 305 AND THE THREE, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THAT WAS AND THEN THAT ALL FUNNELS INTO ABC, THEN YOU HAVE SOME LARGER CAPACITY TO DO SOME LARGER PROJECTS.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE SOME MAJOR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AT THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER TOO, SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE PRIORITIES OF THE BOARD. BUT YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL ON HOW I MEAN, THE BOARD CAN ADDRESS ANY ONE OF THOSE THREE AREAS, RIGHT? FROM A IF WE WERE TO GIVE IT ALL TO THE ABC FUND BALANCE POOL.

HOWEVER, THAT IS GOING TO REQUIRE GUIDANCE AND BALANCE AND GUIDANCE IS ON Y'ALL AND THEN BALANCE WOULD BE ON US, I WOULD THINK, TO HAVE A.

MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT NEGLECTING, I GUESS, ONE AREA FOR THE OTHER.

BUT IT DOES PRESENT GREATER OPPORTUNITIES.

I DON'T KNOW. I REALLY COULD SWING BACK AND FORTH ON BOTH SIDES ARGUMENTS.

IS THERE EVER BEEN LIKE, PERHAPS.

JUST AS THIS THOUGHT MAY NOT WORK AND THEN JUST THROWING THIS OUT THERE.

PERHAPS. COMING UP WITH.

[00:30:01]

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A STANDARD OR FORMULA OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

WHERE. UH.

THE TWO RECREATION DIVISIONS.

THE RECREATION DIVISION AND THE RECREATION CENTER.

UM, MAINTAIN LIKE 50% OF THEIR FUND BALANCE AND THEN SEND 50 THE IF ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SAY YOU'RE FORTUNATE BECAUSE IT'S AN EASY ROUND FIGURE, BUT $100,000 OF FUND BALANCE IS GENERATED.

THEN YOU. YOU KNOW, YOU'D SPEND ALL 50 TO THE ABC AND THEN YOU MAINTAIN 50 FOR.

YOU KNOW, TO TO TO CONTINUE TO GROW YOUR FUND BALANCE.

I MEAN, IT WOULD BE YEAR OVER YEAR, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WIPE THROUGH THAT.

I MEAN, YOU'D STILL HAVE.

I'M SURE, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE PROJECTS ARE.

I MEAN, IT'S IT'S KEPT IN SOME SORT OF INTEREST BEARING ACCOUNT, I WOULD GUESS.

RIGHT. BUT THOSE FUNDS WERE ALREADY ALLOCATED TO THOSE AREAS.

RIGHT. THEY JUST WEREN'T SPENT, CORRECT? CORRECT. ANYBODY GIVES US.

SO SOME FLEXIBILITY, THOUGH, RIGHT? AND THERE'S. THERE WOULD BE NO PROHIBITION, THOUGH.

TO FUNDING ADDITIONAL PROJECTS IN THOSE RESPECTIVE AREAS? CORRECT. NOR WOULD THERE BE ANY PROHIBITION FROM DRAWING FROM THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE ACCOUNT TO.

PERHAPS SUPPLEMENT COME BACK TO TAKE ON A BIGGER PROJECT? I DON'T KNOW. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO MIX THE FUNDS AND SOME PEOPLE CAN SEE IT WHERE THE FUNDS ARE.

JUST ALL PULLED FROM ONE POT.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FINANCIALLY AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

SO PHIL MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT, THE PROCESS.

AND THE DIFFICULTY. CAN I.

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

YOU'RE SAYING THAT AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WHENEVER I DO THE CLOSING ENTRIES, ANY PROFIT THAT THE RECREATION CENTER HAS, I SEND 50% OF THAT TO ABLC AND KEEP 50% IN THE RECREATION CENTER.

THAT WOULD BE YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

YES. RIGHT.

ANY REVENUE EXCEEDING EXPENSES? UH. THAT COULD BE DONE.

IT MAY BE.

IS IT TOO HARD? I MEAN, DO YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S TOO COMPLICATED? IT'S NOT COMPLICATED, BUT IT WOULD BE DONE RIGHT AT THE END OF THE.

AS WE'RE FINISHING UP THE AUDIT.

SO YOU WOULDN'T WE MAY NOT KNOW THAT UNTIL, SAY, THREE MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE OF ALL THE ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE THAT WOULD AFFECT THE INCOME.

OKAY. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING WE COULD DO.

LET ME FLIP THIS ON ITS HEAD.

IS IT BROKE? THAT WAS MY QUESTION.

IS THERE IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH ANY? HAS THERE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY IT'S BEEN? IT IS NOT.

WE JUST WANT TO BE SURE YOU'RE AWARE THAT IT EXISTS MEAN BECAUSE WE SAY MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST ROLL WITH WHERE WE ARE UNTIL Y'ALL SEE A PROBLEM THAT PRESENTS ITSELF.

WE MAY BE JUST LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM TO FIX WHEN THERE'S NOT A PROBLEM.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FORMALIZE THAT.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN TO THE REVENUE.

WE JUST WANT IT TO BE FORMALIZED.

IF YOU WANT TO FORMALIZE IT HOW IT IS, THAT'S FINE.

WE JUST WANT THE DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

ANY DIRECTORS, IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE IN OUR CHARTER OR IN THE ABLC CHARTER THAT PREVENTS THERE FROM BEING MONEY DRAWN FROM, SAY, THE RECREATION DIVISION AND ALLOCATED TO THE REC CENTER DIVISION TO COVER AN EXPENSE? THERE ISN'T. THE ONLY RESTRICTIONS ARE WHAT THE FUNDS CAN BE SPENT ON.

OKAY. SO, I MEAN, IF IT'S NOT BROKE, I SAY WE JUST ROLL WITH WHERE WE ARE UNTIL YOU.

UNLESS YOU ALL SEE A VISIBLE EXAMPLE OF OF WHERE WE'RE MAYBE COMING UP SHORT AND WHERE WE COULD HELP OUT BY BREAKING DOWN THESE WALLS.

BECAUSE OTHERWISE I'D SAY JUST KEEP UP.

I MEAN, FOR LACK OF A MAYBE IT'S YOU CAN'T SAY THIS ANYMORE, BUT, YOU KNOW, CALLED THE CHINESE FIREWALL OR WHATEVER KIND OF EXCEPTION.

YOU KNOW, IT'S THERE IN PURPOSE.

IT'S THERE IN PRINCIPLE, BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY EXIST.

SO I TEND TO I TEND TO AGREE WITH WITH THAT.

IF IT'S NOT PROBLEMATIC AND HASN'T BEEN A PROBLEM.

I'M PERSONALLY I'M HAPPY TO FORMALIZE IT SO THAT IT IS WHATEVER HOOPS WE NEED TO JUMP THROUGH TO SAY, OKAY, THIS IS OUR POLICY, KNOWING THAT WE CAN ALSO CHANGE THAT IF AT SOME POINT IN TIME THAT BECOMES PROBLEMATIC AND WE SEE A MORE.

UM, EFFICIENT OR EFFECTIVE WAY THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS.

[00:35:05]

AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT. I AGREE.

BECAUSE, I MEAN, IF YOU COME UP WITH SOMETHING, I'M ALL EARS.

IF THERE'S AN EXCEPTION TO EVERY RULE, WHICH USUALLY THERE IS, IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE IN LIFE.

SO BUT.

SO. QUESTION SO BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS WE'RE GOING TO GO FOREGO THE OPPORTUNITY OF COLLECTING ALL THOSE FUNDS TO TAKE ON BIGGER PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD.

LIKE BY PUTTING THEM BACK INTO OUR FUND.

RIGHT? WE'RE SAYING, WELL, THAT'S CERTAINLY ONE WAY TO PUT IT.

BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS FORMALIZING THE FUNDS THAT WERE ALLOCATED FOR THE REC CENTER AND THE AND THE TWO WE'RE WE ARE SIMPLY JUST SAYING WE'RE FORMALIZING LET'S MAKE IT OFFICIAL THE WAY THAT IT IS.

IF WE CHANGE IT.

DO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY? YES. BUT ARE THOSE FUNDS? DO WE NEED? THOSE FUNDS TO TO GO TO OTHER THINGS? OR IS THERE A POINT IN TIME WHEN THAT COMES UP THAT WE CAN SAY, WAIT, HERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN.

UM, HERE'S SOME FUNDS THAT WE CAN TWEAK AND OR WORK WITH.

I DON'T KNOW. IS THERE? THERE IS THAT LEVEL OF FLEXIBILITY TO PULL FROM THOSE BALANCES.

I THINK IF YOU.

WELL, YEAH, WE WANTED TO GO PUT SHADE STRUCTURES AT A PARK AND ANGLES AND RECREATION CENTER HAS A FUN BALANCE.

AND THAT'S ALL WE CAN PULL FROM.

CAN WE DO THAT? AND ORIGINATED FROM THE SAME POT? I WOULD THINK SO.

ME IT WOULD THINK I WOULD HAVE TO.

WE'D HAVE TO GO TO THE COUNCIL AND GET PERMISSION, BUT I WOULD THINK WE COULD, RIGHT? IT'S ALL COMING FROM SALES TAX.

COOL CASH. AND I DON'T BELIEVE THE BYLAWS OF ANTIOCH FOR.

DOES THE MONEY MONEY'S BEING FUNDED FROM THE.

ME. I DON'T THINK THAT'D BE AN ISSUE, BUT IT'D BE SOMETHING I'D PROBABLY HAVE A BIG DISCUSSION ON.

GUYS SIGN OFF ON IT.

OKAY? I GUESS MY OPINION, I'M KIND OF WITH WHAT YOU'RE THINKING IS I'M KIND OF TRYING TO BE FORWARD THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE REC CENTER IN THIS CASE.

AND YOU DID MENTION A LOT OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.

WE'RE ALREADY HAVING STRUCTURES HAVE THIS FUND BALANCE.

I THINK IT MIGHT BE TO THE DETRIMENT TO MOVE THAT FUND BALANCE BACK OVER TO THE PLC AND HAVE IT REALLOCATED SOMEWHERE ELSE.

ULTIMATELY, PROBABLY NEEDS TO STAY IN THIS FUND BALANCE AND BE SPENT ON THE REC CENTER BECAUSE WE'RE JUST DEFERRING THE MAINTENANCE SPEND DOWN THE ROAD.

AND IF WE HAVE THESE FUND BALANCES SITTING HERE FOR THE REC CENTER.

THAT TO ME WOULD BE MORE OF THE CASE FOR WHERE THAT SHOULD BE COMING FROM INSTEAD OF PULLING FROM DLC, WHICH IS ALREADY.

PUTTING A LOT OF MONEY INTO THE AOC, BUT.

I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YOU PUT THAT MONEY ALL TOGETHER AND YOU GO SPEND IT ACROSS THE PARKS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

BUT I ALSO AGREE WITH WHAT TRAVIS SAID ABOUT CAPPING.

I WOULD I WOULD CAP.

BUT HE SAID 50%.

I WAS THINKING YOU CAP YOUR 100,000 BECAUSE MOST OF YOUR BIG EXPENDITURES ARE GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 50 TO 100.

NEVER A BREAK.

YOU ALREADY SAID THAT THE PLAY STRUCTURE IS OVER 100,000.

HAVE YOU LEFT 50,000 IN THERE? ON 100,000 IN REVENUE THEN? NOW, HE HAS COME BACK ON THAT BECAUSE WE'RE THESE THINGS GO OVER YEARS.

I'D LIKE TO. WE DIDN'T EVEN.

DOES THAT DOES THAT CUSTOMARILY HAPPEN WHERE YOU HAVE ALMOST OVER $100,000 OF FUND BALANCE REMAINING AT IN THE YEAR? WELL, YOU'RE ABOUT TO PUT ANOTHER 150 IN, RIGHT? YEAH, 153 TO START THE YEAR AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE 314 AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

I WOULD SAY WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY I MEAN, AGAIN, SO JUST IF WE USE JOHN'S EXAMPLE OF ADDING 100,000 THAT RIGHT, CAPPING IT.

BUT THE WAY IF I'M UNDERSTANDING YOU CORRECTLY, THEN WE WILL JUST ADDED ANOTHER 100,000.

SO YOU SAID 150, NOW IT'S 250.

IN THE REMAINING BALANCE OF ABOUT 63 WOULD ROLL OVER INTO THE ABLC.

THAT'S I MEAN, I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

I WOULD BE I THINK IF AT THE END OF EVERY YEAR WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A CUMULATIVE WE'RE NOT CAPPING IT AT 100,000.

PERIOD. I MEAN, IF YOU ROLL OVER, IF YOU IF WE'RE STARTING AT 150, IS OUR BASE, RIGHT FOR FOR WHATEVER, 100,000 FOR WHATEVER, $100,000 IT IS

[00:40:06]

WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO.

AND I JUST DO WANT TO NOTE, THOUGH, TOO, IN THE DECISION PACKAGES THAT WE BROUGHT TO CITY COUNCIL ON JULY 8TH, THERE WAS $1.5 MILLION WORTH OF CAPITAL ITEMS. SO THAT WAS FOR THE REC CENTER, RIGHT? SO THERE WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE CAP THERE, YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS ANY NUMBER OF WAYS, BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU CAN ALSO SAY, WELL, DUMP IT ALL INTO A AND THEN YOU CAN GO OUT FOR ANOTHER DEBT SERVICE.

SO I MEAN AND DO A LOT.

YOU CAN GO OUT. WE COULD ISSUE ANOTHER BOND AND ADDRESS ALL OF THAT.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M I'M GIVING YOU IDEAS TO PONDER AND DISCUSS, BUT WE JUST ARE COMING TO YOU BECAUSE WE WANT IT FORMALIZED.

SO AGAIN, I KEEP FLIP FLOPPING ON THIS BECAUSE.

THANK YOU. IF IT'S NOT BROKE, WHY ARE WE FIXING IT? ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU'RE SAYING I THINK WE'RE LIMITING OUR OPTIONS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT PUTTING IT ALL BACK INTO ONE FUND.

THESE WALLS NEED TO BE BROKEN DOWN.

THEN THAT'S YOUR GUIDANCE TO US.

I WANT TO KNOW.

AND BECAUSE.

I DON'T WORK THERE DAY TO DAY.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE IN AND OUTS OF IT.

I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO PRETEND TO REPLACE YOU, ESPECIALLY FROM A MILES DISTANCE.

IT'S NOT FAIR, OBVIOUSLY.

AND THESE ARE ALL MY OPINIONS.

AND BUT IF YOU'RE TELLING ME, YOU KNOW, YOU COME TO US AND SAY, HEY, THESE ARE PROJECTS, HOW SHOULD WE SPEND THIS MONEY THAT I FEEL IS MORE APPROPRIATE FOR US AND OUR ROLES HERE? MAYBE I'M NOT SEEING THIS RIGHT? AND THEN.

IF WE WERE TO TEAR DOWN THESE WALLS, PUT IT ALL INTO ONE FUND THAT MAY PRESENT GREATER OPTIONS.

IF YOU'RE SAYING I'M WORRIED THAT IF WE DID THAT.

WE MAY NOT ALLOCATE FUNDS PROPERLY.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT I SAID. GOES BACK TO DISCIPLINE AND IN FINDING BALANCE IN.

BUT WHATEVER.

THAT'S JUST MY. THOSE ARE EXACTLY THE CONCERNS THAT I WOULD SAY AS STAFF IS THAT THE BENEFIT OF HAVING THE INDIVIDUAL FUND BALANCES ARE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE CAN DEDICATE IT TOWARDS REPAIRING AND ADDRESSING ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR THOSE DESIGNATED AREAS.

NOT THAT WE CANNOT WE COULDN'T DO THAT WITH ABLAK WE COME TO YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FISCAL YEAR WITH PUBLIC HEARING OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROJECTS, BUT IT WOULD THE ONUS WOULD THEN BECOME ON ABLAK TO SAY AND HELP PRIORITIZE.

WE'RE GOING TO BRING WHAT WE THINK IS A PRIORITY AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

SO BUT THE BOARD AND A CONSENSUS AND MAKING DECISION ON WHAT IS A PRIORITY SOMETIMES ARE NOT ALWAYS THE SAME THING.

SO FUND ALL OVER AGAIN, RIGHT? TO ME, THE CLEANER OPTION IS TO TO LEAVE IT WITH WITH WITH THE REC CENTER.

LEAVE IT THERE. THAT'S A CLEANER OPTION BECAUSE YOUR BOARD IS GOING TO DEPEND ON WHO YOUR BOARD IS, WHAT THEY VIEW AS IS IMPORTANT.

YOU'VE GOT THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW NEED TO BE FIXED THAT YOU GUYS NEED TO BUDGET AND YOU CAN'T BUDGET IF IF A PORTION OF YOUR.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW. IT MAKES IT REALLY DIFFICULT TO PLAN AND PRIORITIZE.

IF A FAIR AMOUNT OF YOUR FUNDS, WHATEVER WE DETERMINE IT TO BE, GOES ELSEWHERE AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO COME TO ME, IT JUST ADDS AN EXTRA STEP.

YOU'VE GOT TO COME TO US BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY NEED.

WE MAY OR MAY NOT APPROVE IT.

DO YOU DO THAT ALREADY? WE DO. I MEAN, I DON'T THINK WE'RE ADDING AN EXTRA STEP IF THEY'RE ALREADY DOING THAT.

AND SOMETIMES THESE PROJECTS ARE FAIRLY LARGE.

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE THRESHOLD BECAUSE THE PURCHASING THRESHOLDS, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S OVER 50, ABSOLUTELY, WE'RE COMING TO YOU WITH AN AGREEMENT.

BUT IF IT'S UNDER THAT AT CITY MANAGER APPROVAL, SO AND SO WHAT IS WHAT IS AN.

AS AS THE DIRECTOR.

WHAT IS WHAT IS A MORE EFFICIENT USE OF YOUR TIME FOR US TO FORMALIZE IT AND YOU TO HAVE X NUMBER AS IS OR FOR US TO TO PICK A SET OF FIGURE AND, AND GIVE IT TO ABC BECAUSE BECAUSE YOU'RE MORE THAN JUST A REC CENTER, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE.

RIGHT. AND I THINK IT COULD BE STRATEGIC GOING INTO ABC, BUT THAT IS ONLY IF WE ARE STRATEGIC ABOUT OUR EXPENDITURES, RIGHT? AND SO THAT'S REALLY ALL I WOULD SAY.

[00:45:01]

I LIKE I WAS GOING TO SAY, YES, WE SHOULD, BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS WHAT HAPPENED AGAIN.

SO AGAIN, SO.

I UNDERSTAND A LOT OF WHAT ELLEN'S SAYING AND AGREE WITH HER IN PRINCIPLE, BECAUSE IF YOU SET GUIDELINES, IT MAKES IT VERY, I THINK, EASIER TO STAY WITHIN YOUR LANE, SO TO SPEAK. ON THE OTHER HAND, I WONDER IF OPPORTUNITIES AREN'T MISSED BECAUSE OF ABC NOT HAVING A GREATER FUND BALANCE.

I MEAN. IF I'M ON IT, I TRUST THE BOARD.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A JOKE.

BUT. BUT, BUT.

SO NO, IN ALL FAIRNESS.

I WOULD PREFER TO STRIP IT DOWN AND PUT IT INTO ONE FUND BALANCE WITH THE CAVEAT.

I WOULD LOVE IT TO BE WRITTEN IN IF IT WENT MY WAY.

THAT. THERE'S GOT TO BE LIKE.

EACH TIME A PROJECT IS APPROVED FOR ONE.

YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO THAT.

DEPARTMENT UNTIL YOU ADDRESS THE OTHER TWO.

ONE, TWO, THREE. ONE, TWO, THREE.

HOWEVER, ABC. ABC? I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW.

I'M OF TRAVIS'S MIND.

MINUS THE ONE, TWO, THREE.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

I THINK THE WHOLE POINT OF PUTTING IT INTO ONE IS WE'RE ABLE TO DIRECT IT WHERE THE NEED IS GREATEST.

AND WE FRANKLY RELY A TON ON THE STAFF AND THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO THE PROBLEM TO UNDERSTAND THOSE PIECES.

AND SO I SEE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE.

AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO ADD MORE RESTRICTIONS ON IT IF WE'RE GOING TO BREAK THEM DOWN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

MAKES SENSE. AND ADDING TO THAT, THE FLIP SIDE, SEEING THE OTHER SIDE IS THAT THAT THE NEEDS MAY CHANGE, THE COMMUNITY MAY CHANGE.

AND SO IF IT'S IN THE HANDS OF OF THE BOARD TO DECIDE, PRESUMABLY THEY'RE DECIDING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF.

YOU KNOW THE NEEDS AT THE TIME.

GOOD POINT. I LIKE THE IDEA OF OF.

I THINK CAPPING IS GREAT, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE ENOUGH.

IF IT WAS ME WRITING THIS, I WOULD SAY THAT CAP IT AT 100.

ANYTHING EXCESS OVER THAT 100,000 MUST BE APPROVED BY THE AVC AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH BUDGET CYCLE.

AND WE CAN APPROVE AND SAY, YOU CAN KEEP MORE OF THIS THIS TIME OR NO, WE WANT THIS BACK THAT WAY.

IN THIS CASE, YOU HAVE 314,000 CAPPED AT 100.

214 OF THAT GOES BACK INTO.

AVC SPENT ON WHATEVER PROJECTS NEED TO BE SPENT ON.

IN THE CASE WHERE YOU HAVE MORE OF THAT NEED TO BE DONE, YOU COULD DO THAT, BUT IT'S TO THE BOARD'S DISCRETION.

ANYTHING OVER $100,000 WOULD BE.

WOULD BE DECIDED UPON THE BOARD.

HEY, NO, WE WANT THIS GOING HERE.

NO, WE KNOW THIS NEEDS TO BE HERE.

LEAVE IT HERE. I THINK TO ME, THAT WOULD BE THE WAY I WOULD WRITE.

WRITE THAT. UM, BECAUSE I DO REALIZE THAT THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE GOING ON.

AND THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT WE NEED TO DO THAT DEBT SERVICE.

I THINK THIS IS A WAY THAT IS A WIN WIN TO BOTH SIDES TO GET US STARTED.

THAT'S JUST HOW I SEE IT. IS THIS AN ACTION? IT IS. CHAIRMAN, BECAUSE I DO UNDERSTAND.

THE CHAIRMAN MAKE HIS OWN MOTION.

OKAY. I SAID IF I WAS WRITING IT, THIS IS HOW I WOULD DO IT.

BUT I WOULD SAY THAT THAT'S REALLY THE INTENTION THAT MR. CHURCH HAD AT THE TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT REC CENTER HAD FUNDS AVAILABLE TO USE FOR EMERGENCIES AND FOR WHATEVER THEY NEEDED.

ALSO ALLOWS US THE FLEXIBILITY TO MOVE OVER AND USE IT FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE.

PLUS YOU PROMISED A DEBT SERVICE.

AND ONE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD NOTE, TOO, IS THE WAY THAT THE CORPORATION IS STRUCTURED, WE HAVE TO COME TO YOU EVERY YEAR FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON ALL OF OUR PROJECTS.

WE HAVE SOME LANGUAGE THAT IS VERY UMBRELLA LIKE, BUT YOU SHOULD BE SEEING AND HEARING ABOUT ALL OF THE PROJECTS BEFORE THEY'RE EXECUTED.

SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO.

PUT ALL FUNDS INTO ONE INTO A PLC.

AND THAT THERE WOULD BE NO CAPS OR ANY OTHER RESTRICTIONS.

I'LL SECOND IT. YEAH.

AND YOU COME TO US FOR ANY SPENDING APPROVAL, YOU KNOW.

THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO MOVE ALL FUND BALANCES INTO THE ABLC FUND.

NO CAPS FOR. FURTHER DISCUSSION.

[00:50:01]

I THINK THE CAP SHOULD BE 200,000.

I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME MONEY TO WORK WITH.

THEY CAN COUNT ON.

YEAH, I MEAN, IT JUST.

THE VERY FIRST THING TRAVIS SAID WAS, IS IT BROKEN? AND NOW APPARENTLY IT IS BROKEN.

IT SEEMS TO BE BROKEN ISN'T NECESSARILY.

AGAIN, WE ARE JUST COMING TO YOU IN FULL TRANSPARENCY THAT THE ACCOUNTS EXIST AND WE WANT TO FORMALIZE THE PROCESS.

SO I DON'T THINK IT'S A QUESTION OF IT BEING BROKEN.

IT'S CAN WE STRUCTURE IN A WAY THAT PROVIDES MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PLC AND FOR THE DEPARTMENTS TO GET MORE FUNDING WHEN THEY HAVE PROJECTS THAT COME UP THAT NEED IT? THAT'S KIND OF HOW I VIEW IT.

AND OUR APPROACH, IF THIS WERE TO BE APPROVED, WOULD BE AGAIN, PUBLIC HEARING.

AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO HOLD BACK.

WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL THE PROJECTS.

WE'RE STILL GOING TO ASK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT AND YOUR APPROVAL ON ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED, REGARDLESS IF IT'S RECREATION DIVISION, ANGLETON, RECREATION CENTER OR PARKS.

OR DRAINAGE.

SO WHO? WHAT FUN WOULD IT GO INTO? WOULD YOU HAVE TO CREATE A NEW FUND? NO. THE ABLC FUND BALANCE FUND ALREADY EXISTS.

I WOULD JUST I WARN THE GROUP HERE.

THIS IS THE SAME THING WE DID TO THE VOTERS TAKING THE STREET FUND, THE HALF CENT SALES TAX OR THE $0.01 SALES TAX.

AND MOVING INTO THE PROPERTY OR MOVING INTO THE GENERAL FUND.

ONCE WE DID THAT.

IT GETS EATEN UP. IT'S.

IT'S. IT'S ALWAYS NOT THE BEST.

AS MEGAN SAID, YOU HAVE TO BE STRATEGIC WITH IT.

AND A LOT OF TIMES SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY.

WHATEVER COMES FIRST, I BELIEVE.

I BELIEVE ONCE YOU REMOVE ANY EXCESS FROM THE REC CENTER, THE REC CENTER IS NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING ELSE DONE.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO GET LEFT BEHIND BECAUSE ALL THEIR PROJECTS ARE BIG.

AND MY THOUGHT WAS JUST THE OPPOSITE.

BY TAKING IT TO ABC, WE WERE NOW GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO FUND THOSE BIG PROJECTS FOR THE REC CENTER.

I WAS JUST THINKING JUST THE OPPOSITE.

IF THAT'S GOING TO BE THE STRATEGY WE'RE ON, THIS IS THE BOARD.

WE GET TO SET IT, WE'RE ON THE BOARD, WE GET TO SAY ON THAT.

SO I WILL SEE.

JOHN SAYS IT NEGATIVELY.

I VOTED FOR IT. I MEAN, I VOTED FOR THAT.

AND I AND I'M GLAD I DID.

I HAVEN'T CHANGED MY OPINION.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DID. AND IT PASSED AND THAT'S WHY IT GOES.

SO BUT IT ALSO TAKES AWAY THAT FUND THAT SURE WAS GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAD MONEY FOR OVERLAYS AND LIKE THAT.

AND NOW WE'VE STILL DONE OUR LIVES FOR ANYTHING ELSE.

IF WE SET THE PRIORITY TO BE THE REC CENTER, WE CAN USE THOSE FUNDS FOR THE REC CENTER.

I THINK THAT'S HOW MUCH DO YOU TRUST THE BOARD TO DELIBERATE AND EXECUTE ON THINGS THAT FINDS IMPORTANT? WELL, AND WE'RE THE BOARD NOW, BUT WE WON'T ALWAYS BE THE BOARD.

AND THAT'S THEREIN LIES THE THE DIFFERENCE AND WHAT I SEE.

SO OBVIOUSLY WE'RE WE'RE IN AGREEMENT NOW, BUT FIVE YEARS FROM NOW.

WE'RE NOT LIKELY TO BE HERE.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS POOL OF MONEY WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SOME OTHER VISION.

UM, BUT YOU SOLD ME EARLIER BECAUSE YOU SOLD ME THAT.

THAT THE. THAT THE.

YOU WOULDN'T BE PLACED IN THIS POSITION WITHOUT BEING TRUSTED SO BY THE COMMUNITY AND THAT YOU WOULD BE THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY.

SO IF SOMEBODY COMES FIVE YEARS FROM NOW AND THEY WANT TO DO IT DIFFERENTLY, THEN WE MUST APPRECIATE THAT THEY ARE THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY AND SOMETIMES THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY CHANGES.

CHANGES. SO.

UH, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, I KNOW I WAS BEING SARCASTIC, BUT I TRUST MYSELF.

SO, I MEAN, IF I GET YOUR POINT, THOUGH, IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, THEN THAT'S.

THAT'S A FAIR ARGUMENT AS WELL.

AND THEN AND THEN YOU'RE RIGHT.

AND I DO STAND BY THAT BECAUSE YOU SERVE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HEART FOR WHATEVER.

RIGHT. AND YOU'RE MAKING THE THE BEST DECISION THAT YOU CAN GIVEN THE SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

UM, I LIKE THE COMPROMISE.

I LIKE, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST HAVING 200,000.

OR A I LIKE.

SO WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE ALREADY.

SO IF IN A SECOND YOU WANT AND NEED A VOTE ON THIS OR TABLE THIS SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE TO A SECOND MOTION IF YOU HAVE ONE.

SO THE MOTION WAS TO.

WE WANT TO MAKE AN AMENDED MOTION OR.

WE WANT TO CALL FOR THE VOTE. ALL.

AMEN. THE MOTION TO TRANSFER FUNDS TO AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY, I THINK IT'S TRANSFER ALL FUNDS INTO ABLC.

[00:55:08]

HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE A CAP AND I'M GOING TO SAY $100,000.

TO TO REMAIN WITH THE RECREATION AND THE RECREATION CENTER.

AND JUST TO AMEND YOUR SECOND OR DO YOU STAY WITH WHAT.

I'LL AMEND MY SECOND SO I HAVE A MOTION.

AMENDED MOTION AND AMENDED SECOND.

THE ONLY THING I WOULD THE LAST THING I'D LIKE TO SAY TO THE BOARD IS THAT WE CAN START HERE.

WE CAN MOVE AGAIN.

THERE'S THERE IS THAT OPTION.

SO JUST BECAUSE WE MAKE THIS CODIFY IT TONIGHT DOES NOT MEAN WE CANNOT BRING THIS BACK IN THE NEXT BUDGET AND DISCUSS AND SEE HOW WE WANT TO DO IT AND SAY, HEY, THIS WORKED OR THIS DIDN'T WORK AND MAKE THIS CHANGE.

MAY I ASK FOR CLARIFICATION? SURE. ON YOUR MOTION, YOU SAID 100,000.

DOES THAT MEAN 100,000 IN THE NET INCOME FOR THE YEAR OR THAT THE TABLES I MEAN, THE RECREATION CENTER ONLY CAN MAINTAIN A FUND BALANCE OF NO MORE THAN 100,000? I THINK THAT'S WHAT JOHN WAS ASKING FOR.

BUT YOU MADE THE MOTION.

I'M ASKING YOU FOR CLARIFICATION.

HOW? I'D SAY 100,000 IS ITS FUND BALANCE.

THAT'S THE MOST IT CAN MAINTAIN.

AND ANYTHING IN EXCESS ROLLS INTO ABLC, WHICH COULD STILL BE UTILIZED ON THE REC CENTER.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR ABOUT THIS.

THIS IS NOT MY MOTION, BUT ANYTHING THAT ROLLS INTO THE ABLC FUND BALANCE COULD STILL BE ROLLED INTO A PACKAGE ON THE REC CENTER.

SO I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM.

THE OTHER CLARIFYING QUESTION IS THAT FOR EACH DIVISION RECREATION DIVISION, CORRECT? OKAY. IF THE RECREATION DIVISION EVER GETS $100,000 FUND BALANCE, THEN THEY CAN.

[5. Discussion and possible action on FY 2022-2023 additional budget reclassifications and budget adjustments.]

I MEAN, IF THEY EVER DO THAT.

GOOD JOB, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

WHAT'S THAT? IT MAY HAPPEN.

MAKE IT HAPPEN. THERE'S YOUR INCENTIVE.

YOU GET TO KEEP ALL 100.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY BONUSES.

YOU GET A PENNY OVER THAT, THOUGH.

IT GOES TO BILLS. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE HAVE AN AMENDED MOTION IN A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? AFTER THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

GREAT. THANK YOU. THEN ITEM NUMBER FIVE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON FISCAL YEAR 2022, 2023, ADDITIONAL BUDGET RECLASSIFICATION AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS. YES.

SO THIS IS IN REGARDS TO OUR MOST RECENT AUDIT, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE BROUGHT SOME ITEMS TO YOUR ATTENTION AND MADE SOME RECLASSIFICATIONS AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS AS NEEDED SO THAT WE WERE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

SO WE CAN TAKE YOU LINE BY LINE, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO TRY TO BE BRIEF.

WE HAVE RECLASSIFICATION ITEMS. WE'LL START WITH THE PARKS RECLASSIFICATION.

THINGS WERE JUST CODED TO THE WRONG ACCOUNT FOR BILINGUAL VERSUS CERTIFICATION PAY.

SO WE'RE IRONING THAT OUT.

THE FUNDS ARE PRESENT.

WE ALSO HAD SOME ITEMS THAT WERE CHARGED TO OUR GENERAL SUPPLIES ACCOUNT THAT REALLY NEEDED TO BE IN INFRASTRUCTURE OR BUILDING.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAD OR WERE PAYING FOR THE LEASE BUILDING THAT STAFF IS CURRENTLY IN, PARK STAFF IS CURRENTLY IN AND THAT IS GOING OUT 201559538. SO THAT WAS NOT A BUDGETED EXPENSE.

SO THAT IS BEING RECLASSED.

IF YOU GO INTO PARKS BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE SEVERAL NOTES ON EACH OF THESE ITEMS. AND WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.

WE ARE PROPOSING WITH THE ADDITIONAL DEBT SERVICE THAT WE SAVED AND ABLC COVER THE SALARIES THAT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COVER THIS YEAR.

WE BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS NOT WE DIDN'T BUDGET APPROPRIATE FOR SALARIES.

IF YOU GUYS RECALL, WE CAME TO CITY COUNCIL LAST FISCAL YEAR WITH SALARIES.

I THINK THEY ALSO INCLUDED A CERTAIN PAY INCREASE.

AND THEN WE WENT BACK AND FINANCE WENT FLAT.

THAT CHANGED OUR NUMBERS DRASTICALLY.

AND THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF THE YEAR WE WILL BE IN A DEFICIT, EVEN INCLUDING THAT TRANSFER FROM ABC THAT WE GET ON A MONTHLY BASIS.

SO THAT DEFICIT IS HERE.

YOU SEE THAT. BUT WE CAN MAKE THAT UP WITH THE DEBT SERVICE PAYMENT THAT WE SAY PAST FISCAL YEAR BY PAYING IT LAST YEAR, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

SORRY, I'M TRYING TO NOT BE TOO CONFUSING.

PHONE ALLOWANCE.

YEAH. STAFF PAID.

YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANT ME TO GO INTO.

NO, I DON'T NEED TO GO DOWN THERE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE BUDGET SUMMARY?

[01:00:03]

MY ONLY QUESTION IS, DO YOU ALL PLAN ON CONTINUING TO LEASE THE BUILDING OR FUTURE? ARE YOU ALL HOPING TO? BUY SOMETHING OR BUILD A PERMANENT STRUCTURE.

YES. WELL, WE ARE IN THE DESIGN PHASE, I BELIEVE, OF THE BUILDING AT 901 SOUTH VELASCO.

AND SO ONCE THAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED, I THINK WE'RE IN THE PROCESS.

SOON WE'LL BE DEMOLISHING.

OKAY. IN THE NEW YEAR.

YEAH. SO HOPE TO START IN THE NEW YEAR.

YEAH. AND SO, YES, WE WILL BE GETTING RID OF THAT LEASE PAYMENT.

GREAT. YES. SO I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE BUDGET CHANGES.

[6. Discussion and possible action on Parks and Rights-of-Way, Recreation, Angleton Recreation Center, and Angleton Better Living Corporation fiscal year 2023-2024 budgets.]

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

BUDGET CHANGES.

FURTHER DISCUSSION.

JUST ONE. WE DO HAVE THINGS IN PLACE NOW TO KEEP US FROM MAKING SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, THAT IT'S BEING CODED CORRECTLY GOING FORWARD.

AND ALL THOSE ADJUSTMENTS AND CHANGE.

HELLO? ALL RIGHT.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? WELL, THANKS FOR CATCHING IT.

IT'S ALWAYS GOOD. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. CALL FOR A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

ITEM NUMBER SIX DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON PARKS AND RIGHT OF WAY RECREATION.

ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER AND ANGLETON.
