SO WE'LL START WITH ITEM ONE, WHICH IS, UH OR, UH, THE SPECIAL DISCUSSION OF[1. ID 24-0096 FY24 2ND QUARTER FINANCIAL REVIEW – Beth Stenberg, Metro Council; and Aaron Jackson, Office of Management and Budget.]
SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL REVIEW, UM AARON JACKSON AND ANGELA DUNN. OH, YES, YES, YES. I'M SORRY. HOLD ON ONE SECOND. WE'VE GOT TO READ THE DISCLAIMER. THIS MEETING IS BEING HELD FOR SOON TO C 61.826 AND COUNCIL RULE FIVE A RIGHT IN FULL HERE WE GO. THANK YOU. NOW WE HAVE IT FOR US, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO DO YOU HAVE I DO NOT HAVE A PRESENTATION. I WAS JUST GOING TO WALK THROUGH THE REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU ALL RIGHT? WELL, GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M ANGELA DUNN. I'M THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR LOUISVILLE METRO GOVERNMENT. I'M ALSO JOINED BY AARON JACKSON, OUR BUDGET DIRECTOR. ON FEBRUARY 19TH ERIN SENT THE BUDGET COMMITTEE THE QUARTERLY REPORTS FOR Q, TWO OF FY 24, WHICH CONSISTED OF THE REVENUE ESTIMATES AND RECEIPTS. REPORT THE OPERATING EXPENDITURES REPORT BY DEPARTMENT. THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACTS OVER 5000 REPORT AND THE SETTLED LITIGATION AND OTHER CLAIMS OVER $50,000 REPORT AS OF DECEMBER, 31ST 2023 OR THE END OF THE SECOND QUARTER. I HAVE PREPARED A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF EACH REPORT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO WALK THROUGH. AND THEN, OF COURSE, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. FIRST REPORT IS THE REVENUE ESTIMATES AND RECEIPTS.THIS REPORT PROVIDES A BREAKDOWN OF THE VARIOUS GENERAL FUND REVENUES RECEIVED BY METRO GOVERNMENT. IT'S DIVIDED INTO THREE SECTIONS. THE FIRST SECTION COMPARES THE PRIOR YEAR REVENUE ACTUALS IN FY 23 TO THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET FOR FY 24 AND THE FORECASTED REVENUE
[00:15:01]
RESULT FOR THE END OF FR 24. THE SECOND SECTION PROVIDES A SNAPSHOT COMPARISON OF JUST THE MONTH OF DECEMBER REVENUE ACTUALS FOR BOTH THE PRIOR YEAR AND THE CURRENT YEAR. AND THEN THE THIRD SECTION PROVIDES A YEAR TO DATE COMPARISON OF ACTUAL REVENUES AS OF DECEMBER 31ST FOR BOTH THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND THE CURRENT YEAR. MY COMMENTS ON THIS REPORT WILL FOCUS PRIMARILY ON THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET THE CURRENT YEAR ACTUAL REVENUES AS OF 1231, AND WHERE WE ANTICIPATE ENDING THE YEAR ON THE REPORT. THOSE ARE COLUMNS VG AND C, AND I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON THE LARGEST REVENUE CATEGORIES. SO JUST A QUICK OVERALL WE'RE CURRENTLY BUDGETED AT 782 MILLION AS OF 1231. WE'VE RECEIVED 359 MILLION, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 46% OF THE BUDGET.WE'RE CURRENTLY FORECASTED FOR TOTAL REVENUES TO COME IN AROUND 800 MILLION. FIRST CATEGORY OF, UH, REVENUE WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS THE PROPERTY TAX. IT'S CURRENTLY BUDGETED AT 204.4 MILLION AS OF 1231. WE'VE RECEIVED JUST OVER 38% OF BUDGET AT 79 MILLION. WE'RE CURRENTLY FORECASTED FOR TOTAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES TO COME IN SLIGHTLY UNDER BUDGET AT 203.6 MILLION.
NEXT CATEGORY IS THE REVENUE COMMISSION PAYMENTS. THE OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE TAX NET PROFITS AND WAGES AND THE INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX ARE CURRENTLY BUDGETED AT 477 MILLION. AS OF 1231. WE'VE RECEIVED 218.7 MILLION, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 52% OF BUDGET.
WE'RE CURRENTLY FORECASTED FOR THE TOTAL OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE TAX, INCLUDING, YOU KNOW THE WITHHOLDINGS, THE NET PROFITS, THE INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX AND OUR NET INTEREST FEES AND EXPENSES TO COME IN ABOVE BUDGET AT 488 MILLION IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT LINE 26 ON THE REPORT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU. THE NET INTEREST FEES AND EXPENSES INCLUDES A COMBINATION OF THE BOND PAYMENTS THAT ARE MADE BY THE REVENUE COMMISSION ON BEHALF OF METRO GOVERNMENT, AS WELL AS THE EXPENSES AND COLLECTIONS FEES ASSOCIATED WITH RUNNING THE OPERATIONS OF THE REVENUE COMMISSION. AND THAT SAME CATEGORY. WE HAVE THE ANNUAL WATER COMPANY DIVIDEND. IT'S BUDGETED AT 26 MILLION AS OF 1231. WE'VE RECEIVED 14.6 MILLION AND WE ANTICIPATE THE TOTAL DIVIDEND TO COME IN ABOVE BUDGET AT 27 MILLION LICENSE AND PERMITS AND FINES FOR THIS CONSISTS PRIMARILY OF BANK DEPOSITS, BUILDING PERMITS AND IP L. UH, CIVIL PENALTIES. I'M GONNA LOOK AT THESE TWO CATEGORIES TOGETHER ON THE REPORT TOGETHER. THESE TWO CATEGORIES ARE BUDGETED AT 33.4 MILLION. AS OF 1031. WE'VE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 20.2 MILLION , WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THE BUDGET. WE'RE CURRENTLY FORECASTING THE REVENUE IN THESE CATEGORIES SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN BUDGET AT 32 MILLION. NEXT CATEGORY ARE CHARGES FOR SERVICES CONSIST PRIMARILY OF THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES AND TO LOT FEES. IT'S BUDGETED AT 20 MILLION AS OF 1231. WE'VE RECEIVED 11.8 MILLION, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 58% OF BUDGET.
FORECAST FOR TOTAL CHARGES FOR SERVICES REMAIN STEADY AT 20 MILLION. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE LARGEST REVENUE STREAM IN THIS CATEGORY IS THE EMERGENCY. MEDICAL SERVICES BILLING. FINALLY THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES CONSIST PRIMARILY OF 25% STATE FEES AND METRO CORRECTIONS FEES IS BUDGETED AT 14.7 MILLION. AS A 1231. WE ALREADY RECEIVED 14.8 MILLION, WHICH IS MORE THAN 100% OF BUDGET. THIS IS DUE TO THAT END OF TERM FEE REVENUE THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IN DECEMBER OF 2023. THE CURRENT FORECAST FOR TOTAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES IS ADJUSTED TO 24.9 MILLION. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THAT 10.3 RELATED TO THE FEE OFFICERS TERM PAYMENT RECEIVED IN DECEMBER HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROPRIATED IN THE FY 24 BUDGET VIA THE FY 23 YEAR END ORDINANCE. THE NEXT REPORT IS THE OPERATING EXPENDITURES BY DEPARTMENT. CAN YOU SAY THAT 11 MORE TIME? WHICH ONE THE NEXT REPORT THAT THAT THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW. OH, THE FEE OFFICERS. YES, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE. UH, IT IT'S APPROPRIATED IN THE FY 24 BUDGET VIA THE YEAR END ORDINANCE, THE FY 23 YEAR IN ORDINANCE, WHICH WAS ORDINANCE 178 SERIES, 2023. I WAS MOSTLY IMPORTANT. I JUST WANTED TO HEAR YOU SAY ONE MORE TIME. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO HEAR IT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROPRIATE.
10 MILLION IS GONE. IT'S GONE. GONE. YES, THANK YOU. UH SO THEN OUR NEXT REPORT IS THE OPERATING EXPENDITURES BY DEPARTMENT. SO I DO WANNA POINT OUT YESTERDAY, AARON PROVIDED A REVISED VERSION OF THIS REPORT, UH, WHICH REFLECTED SOME TECHNICAL CHANGES IN AN UPDATE TO OMB SECTION OF THE REPORT. SO THIS REPORT PROVIDES A SNAPSHOT VIEW OF EACH DEPARTMENT'S YEAR TO DATE ACTUAL EXPENDITURES COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL AND REVISED BUDGETS AS OF 1031 23. I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE REVISED BUDGET COLUMN CONSISTS OF BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS AS AUTHORIZED BY COUNSEL SO THIS
[00:20:05]
WOULD INCLUDE CARRY FORWARDS FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. THINGS LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT FUNDS, UH, ORDINANCES AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS OR DEPARTMENT SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATIONS, AS NOTED IN THE YEAR, BEGINNING OPERATING ORDINANCE, THINGS LIKE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING OBLIGATIONS. THE TOTAL SUMMARY OF ALL EXPENDITURES IS FOUND AT THE TOP OF THE REPORT. THE ACTUAL EXPENDITURES AS OF 1231 IS 422 MILLION, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 47% OF THE TOTAL REVISED BUDGET OF 906 MILLION. FORECASTED EXPENDITURES ARE TYPICALLY NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE EXPENDITURES BY DEPARTMENT REPORT, HOWEVER, WE ROUTINELY ROUTINELY MONITOR THE EXPENDITURES AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEPARTMENTS IF THEY ARE TRENDING OVER BUDGET. IT IS PROBABLE THAT IN AGGREGATE EXPENDITURES WILL COME IN ON BUDGET OR IN SURPLUS, WHICH WE ANTICIPATE USING THE BALANCE FOR FY 25. THE NEXT REPORT IS JUST THE PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTS FOR 5000 AND OVER JUST A REMINDER THAT THIS IS A SNAPSHOT VIEW OF THE PS CS THAT HAVE OCCURRED BETWEEN OCTOBER 1ST OF 2023 IN DECEMBER. 31ST OF 2023. AND THEN THE SETTLED LITIGATION AND OTHER SETTLED CLAIMS OF 50,000 REPORT AGAIN. THIS IS A SNAPSHOT VIEW OF SETTLED LITTLE GA. LITIGATION AND OTHER CLAIMS THAT OCCURRED BETWEEN 10 1 23 AND 1231 23.THIS REPORT INCLUDES ANY AUTO LIABILITY, GENERAL LIABILITY AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION SETTLEMENTS DURING THIS PERIOD. IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO RE TO NOTE THAT THIS REPORT REFLECTS ALL CLAIMS SETTLED THERE DURING THIS TIME FRAME WERE PAID BY METRO GOVERNMENT'S RISK FUND. I DO WANT TO MAKE A NOTE ON THE CAPITAL PROJECTS REPORT SO THE CAPITAL PROJECTS REPORT IS TYPICALLY PROVIDED ALONG WITH OUR OTHER QT REPORTS. WE WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REPORT WITH THIS SUBMISSION. AS WE'VE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED, THERE WERE ISSUES WITH CONVERTED DATA FROM THE OLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM TO THE NEW FINANCIAL SYSTEM, WHICH RESULTED IN INACCURATE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THE CAPITOL REPORT. IT HAS BEEN A TEDIOUS PROCESS TO COMB THROUGH THE MORE THAN 2000 PROJECTS AND EVEN MORE LINES OF DATA TO CLEAN UP AND RECONCILE THE REPORT. BUT I AM HAPPY BUT I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO A FINISHED PRODUCT. I MET WITH MY TEAM AT THE END OF FEBRUARY. WE'RE WE DISCUSSED REMAINING ISSUES. WE HAVE A TOUCH BASE MEETING NEXT WEEK AND A GOAL TO FINISH THIS PROJECT BY MARCH. 29TH THIS REPORT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO YOU IN EARLY APRIL, AND WE WILL SUBMIT THAT TO YOU AS SOON AS IT'S READY. SO THOSE ARE THE THAT'S THE CONCLUSION OF MY COMMENTS ON THESE REPORTS. UM HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
FIRST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COUNCILMAN OWEN AND COUNCILMAN MP ARGENTI UM JOINED US. AND COUNCILMAN FOWLER ALSO JOINED US. AND HAVE BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, UM COUNCIL P ARGENTI.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY YOUR COMMENT ABOUT EXPENDITURES. YOU YOU SAID AT BUDGET OR, UH, I THINK YOU USE THE TERM IN SURPLUS YOU YOU MEAN UH, THAT THEY WILL SPEND LESS THAN BUDGETED SO WE WILL HAVE A SURPLUS DUE TO THAT. IS THAT WHAT YOU MEANT BY THAT? WE BELIEVE IN AGGREGATE. THERE'S A POSSI. THERE'S IT'S PROBABLE WE'LL HAVE A SURPLUS. HOW MUCH WE'RE NOT SURE YET MAKES SENSE. THANK YOU. AND THEN MY ONLY FOLLOW UP QUESTION IS WHAT WOULD IT TAKE? TO MAKE THE EXPENDITURES REPORT LOOK LIKE THE REVENUE REPORT. AND BY THAT, I MEAN, EVEN IF IT ROLLS UP INTO PRETTY HIGH LEVEL RIGHT DEPARTMENTS. THE I LOVE THE REVENUE REPORT BECAUSE IT GIVES THE CLOSEST THING TO APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON OVER QUARTER QUARTER OVER QUARTER YEAR OVER YEAR, RIGHT BUDGET YOU HAVE PRIOR YOUR ACTUAL CURRENT YEAR.
BUDGETED UH, CURRENT YEAR FORECAST RIGHT IT. IS THERE ANY WAY EVEN IF IT'S A SUPPLEMENTAL AND AGAIN I WANT TO CREATE A TON OF ADDITIONAL WORK. I'M SAYING LIKE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE AUTOMATED, OBVIOUSLY, UM, BECAUSE THAT HELPS US. SEE FIRST OF ALL, VALIDATE WHAT YOU SAID THAT OK, WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDED MAYBE A LITTLE BELOW IN THE AGGREGATE, BUT ALSO BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THE EXPENDITURE REPORT WE SEE THE BUDGET. WE SEE THE REVISED BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO REALLY LOOK AT IT AND SAY OK, THIS DEPARTMENT LOOKS YOU KNOW, L MP D LOOKS GENERALLY ON FIRE LOOKS GENERALLY OFF, RIGHT AND MAYBE ASK AN INTELLIGENT QUESTION ABOUT IT.
WHEREAS REVENUE WE CAN WE CAN SEE HOW YOU'RE GETTING TO THE NUMBER. JUST WHAT? WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO DO THAT? HAVE TO BUILD IT, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK INTO PUTTING SOMETHING TOGETHER THAT WOULD MIRROR AND BE MORE SIMILAR TO THE REVENUE. THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. COUNCILMAN KRAMER. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. GREAT. THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
[00:25:02]
UM, JUST A REAL COUPLE QUICK. UM, CAN YOU SPEAK JUST A LITTLE BIT TO WHY THE REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY, UH FORECAST IS NOW LOWER THAN THE APPROVED BUDGET. SO WE SAID, THIS IS HOW MUCH WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET UM ARE WE APPROVE THE BUDGET AT 100, 100 AND 82,000,960. BUT NOW THE FORECAST IS 100 AND 8520. IT'S OFF. IT'S $440,000. SO THEY IN THE $800 MILLION BUDGET. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S $440,000 IS STILL A LOT OF MONEY. UM WHY ARE WE COMING? IN SHORT THERE? IS IT BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE HAVE PAID IN THOSE REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES, AND WE JUST FEEL LIKE THERE'S TAXES THAT ARE OWED THAT WERE NOT LIKELY GOING TO COLLECT OR DO WE THINK WE MISCALCULATED WHAT THAT TAX SHOULD HAVE BEEN? I'M JUST CURIOUS. LIKE WHERE'S THE WHERE'S THE DISCONNECT THERE ? WELL, IT'S A LITTLE BIT FLUID, AND AARON CAN ADD ANY COMMENTS.IF HE'S GOT SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WE DO. LOOK AT TRENDS. YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT WHAT'S COMING IN AND WHAT CAME IN THIS YEAR COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR, SO I KNOW THAT THAT'S PART OF THE FORECASTING PROCESS, AND IT IS FLUID AND IT DOES GET REVISED AS WE GO ON. SO THIS WAS AS OF 1231. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE GOT ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT AS YOU AS YOU START I I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND DO THE SECOND ONE AND LET YOU JUST DO IT ALL CAR SUSPECT IT'S THE SAME ANSWER. SO UM, I WAS LOOKING AT THE DEED TAXES AS WELL, BECAUSE I MEAN, DEEDS ARE THEY'RE DEEDS, AND WE HAVE THOSE. WE KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE, UM SO I JUST WAS WONDERING. THANK YOU, SO YOU CAN COVER BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. AARON JACKSON, UM, B AND B, THE REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY, UH, THAT OBVIOUSLY THERE'S MULTIPLE COMPONENTS UNDER THAT, UH, REVENUE CATEGORY. AND MY GUESS IS, UH, IF WE WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU TO GET THE EXACT, UH, RES, UH, ANSWER, BUT, UH, MY GUESS IS, UH, THE PERSONAL PROPERTY IS LIKELY LOWER BECAUSE WE ASSUME YOU KNOW THE 4% FOR THE REAL PROPERTY, SO THAT PROBABLY IS WHY THAT NUMBER IS SLIGHTLY LOWER AND THEN ON THE D OF COURSE, THAT'S RELATED TO, UH, THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT. IF, UH YOU KNOW, HAVE FEWER MORTGAGES OR A VEHICLE THAT ARE, I GUESS, UH, MORTGAGES UH, BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER INTEREST RATES THAT DRIVING DOWN SOME OF THE REVENUE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO GENERATE FROM DE TAXES. SO THE DETOX IS LIKE WHEN SOMEBODY TAKES OUT A MORTGAGE. WE GET IT. THAT'S CORRECT. SO IF YOU HAVE A FEW OF THOSE, WE GET LESS TAXES. THANKS. COUNCILMAN ARTHUR THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET HAS PUBLISHED METRO COUNCIL REPORTS ON THE OPEN DATA PORTAL BEFORE IF YOU ALL DO THE SAME FOR THESE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORTS. I.
I DON'T THINK WE TYPICALLY DO. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PUBLISH THEM THROUGH THE OPEN DATA PORTAL? I YEAH. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WOULD PROHIBIT US FROM DOING THAT. SO YEAH, WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. UM OBVIOUSLY WE ALWAYS WOULD SUBMIT THEM TO METRO COUNCIL FIRST, AND THEN I GUESS AFTER THEY'VE BEEN REVIEWED, WE COULD PUT THEM OUT THERE. UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION. WAY IN THE FUTURE, BUT I'M THINKING ABOUT NEXT FISCAL YEAR, AND I'M WONDERING IF THE ADMINISTRATION HAS DISCUSSED THE POTENTIAL OF HAVING TO REIMBURSE SUBURBAN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES. HOW IS THAT IN IN REFERENCE TO HOUSE BILL 388. YES. UM YES. I MEAN, I KNOW I DON'T. UH, I'M NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN ALL OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS. BUT YES, WE OBVIOUSLY KNOW THAT THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR, UH, AS THE BILL STANDS, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S PASSED YET, BUT, UM, THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT IS GOING TO REQUIRE SOME PAYBACK TO COUNTIES FOR RUNS THAT THEY MAKE INTO THE URBAN SERVICES DISTRICT . UH, SO THAT WILL HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR WHEN WE FORECAST OUR BUDGET FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. AND I'M SURE MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE READ WHAT THAT MIGHT BE. COULD YOU CONFIRM A RANGE RIGHT NOW WHAT THAT MIGHT BE. AND OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I THINK IT'S A $300 AMOUNT THERE . THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT AMOUNTS AND I AND I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME, SO I DON'T WANT TO GIVE INCORRECT INFORMATION. BUT I WANNA SAY IT'S AROUND 3 TO $500.01 HAS TO DO WITH, UH, RESPONDING AND ONE HAS TO DO WITH TRANSPORTING. I'M SORRY. I'M I'M REFERENCING A TOTAL OH, A TOTAL WE HAVEN'T FORECASTED THAT YET. BUT I WOULD IMAGINE IT'S GONNA BE IN A COUPLE OF MILLION DOLLAR RANGE. THANK YOU.
SOME FEW ARGENTINA THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND BUT ALSO JUST BECAUSE WE BROUGHT UP THE TOPIC OF NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET, UH AND THAT WAS A GOOD POINT TO BRING UP, BUT WE'RE ALSO WILL BE ELIMINATING, UM OR COSTS RELATED TO THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE BECAUSE THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND THAT WILL SAVE SAVE US ROUGHLY $6 MILLION. IT'S 4.8. BUT YES, THAT'S 8.5. WE HAVE THAT ONE IN THERE. GOOD. OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. COUNCILWOMAN PARKER. ALL RIGHT.
[00:30:08]
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. UH, THERE'S FOUR GENERAL LIABILITIES SETTLEMENTS OF 754,000. IF YOU'VE ALREADY STATED THAT, UM I APOLOGIZE. BUT COULD YOU TELL US WHAT THOSE WERE, AND, UH WHAT WAS PAID OUT ON EACH ONE? SO WE DO HAVE BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS. I'M SORRY. DID YOU SAY THERE WAS FOUR OF THEM FOR HOW MUCH? UH OH. THE TOTAL WAS 754. I'M SORRY. UM I MEAN, THERE ARE BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS PROVIDED HERE ON EACH SETTLEMENT. UM THAT DID TOTAL 754,000 I. I DON'T HAVE YOU KNOW, DETAILED INFORMATION ON THAT. BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY GET YOU THAT IF YOU'RE IF YOU WOULD LIKE SOME MORE INFORMATION, BUT THE DESCRIPTION WILL SORT OF OUTLINES THE SUMMARY OF WHAT WAS INVOLVED IN THAT SETTLEMENT. OKAY? UM AND THE METRO RISK FUND. WHAT DO HOW MUCH DO WE NORMALLY BUDGET FOR THAT? IT'S TYPICALLY AROUND $9 MILLION IS WHAT WE BUDGET TO FUND THAT. BUT THERE ARE ALSO WE ALSO, UM THERE ARE PREMIUMS THAT ARE BILLED OUT TO OTHER TO OUR METRO AGENCIES CORRECT TO THE METRO AGENCIES THAT ALSO PROVIDES FUNDING. SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SOURCES OF FUNDING. UH, BUT THE GENERAL FUND PORTION IS, UH AROUND 9 MILLION THANK YOU. I DON'T SEE ANY POPE. YES, I DO. COUNCILMAN OWEN I. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.I THINK YOU SAID THAT. UH ALL OF THOSE PAYMENTS WERE PAID OUT OF THE RISK FUND. THAT'S CORRECT.
HOW DOES THAT RISK? I MEAN, DO WE HAVE A RISK FUND THAT PROTECTS US UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OR AND THEN AND EVERYTHING BELOW THAT IS TAKEN CARE OF, OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? TYPICALLY WELL, THE RISK FUND WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH, UM OUR MEMBERSHIP AND THE SELF INSURANCE TRUST FUNDS. UH, LAGGED AND LEGIT OR WHAT? WE THOSE ARE THE ACRONYMS FOR THEM.
AND SO THE RISK FUND WILL OFTEN IT KICKS IN. ONCE WE'VE EXCEEDED OUR LIMITS WITH LEGIT AND LAGGED , AND THEN THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT CAN'T BE COVERED BY LEGIT AND LA SO THEN THE RISK FUND WOULD KICK IN THERE, SO IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY GO TO THE RISK FUND. WE TYPICALLY RUN IT THROUGH OUR SELF INSURANCE TRUST FIRST, AND THEN WHEN WE HIT THOSE LIMITS IS WHEN THE RISK FUND GETS INVOLVED. ALL OF THESE. LEGIT LAGGING. I BELIEVE SO. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET CLARIFICATION FOR YOU ON THAT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE DETAILS ABOUT THESE SETTLEMENTS IN FRONT OF ME. COUNCILMAN ARTHUR THANK YOU. BUT YOU ALSO WHEN YOU CHECK ON THE SETTLEMENTS AND THE CLAIMS SEND US A TOTAL OF EVERYTHING UNDER $50,000 AND HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT MORE THAN A MILLION OR SO THAT WE SEE IN FRONT OF US, BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT THAT IS AS WELL. YES. OK AND THEN ALSO ANOTHER DATA QUESTION. WOULD YOU ALL BE WILLING TO PUBLISH? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE QUARTERLY, BUT MAYBE, UH, AN ANNUAL TOTAL OF THOSE CLAIMS. ON THE DATA PORTAL AS WELL AND IT COULD BE OVER 50,000. I DON'T WANT TO SAY WE'RE NOT WILLING TO. BUT I MEAN, UH, I WOULD. I'M NOT SURE THAT WE CAN DO THAT. I JUST I JUST SAID TO COUNCILOR THAT METRO COUNCIL HAS ATTACHED TO OUR AGENDA RIGHT NOW CAN'T BE PUT INTO THE OPEN DATA PORTAL.
IF IT'S THE REPORT. IF IT'S JUST THIS REPORT, THEN I WOULD IMAGINE WE COULD PUBLISH IT ALONG WITH THE OTHER QUARTER TWO REPORTS. IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE SUBMITTING TO METRO COUNCIL IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT INFORMATION THAT ISN'T PROVIDED AS PART OF THIS. MEETING THEN UM , I'M NOT SURE WE'D BE ABLE TO. I'D HAVE TO CHECK INTO WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S INFORMATION WE CAN PUT OUT PUBLICLY OR THINGS THAT YOU KNOW, MIGHT HAVE TO BE REQUESTED THROUGH OPEN RECORDS AND THAT SORT OF THING. RIGHT AND I'M NOT REQUESTING THAT YOU PUT ANYTHING THAT'S NOT ALREADY PUBLISHED IN OUR AGENDA RIGHT NOW. I'M SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US THAT ARE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE THROUGH PRIME GOV. IF THEY CAN BE CONSOLIDATED WITH OTHER OPEN DATA THAT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE, SOME OF WHICH IS FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO I HAD A QUESTION ON THAT. AND SO ON THE ON THE TOP ONES ON THE SETTLEMENT CLAIMS. SO THE LINE SO THE SETTLEMENT DEMAND IS WHAT A CLAIM. ASKED FOR AND THIS IS WHAT WE ACTUALLY SETTLED FOR. CORRECT, OK? SO THESE ARE COMPLETED. THESE ARE SETTLED, SO IN TERMS OF BEING
[00:35:06]
OPEN TO OPEN RECORDS. THEY THEY WOULD CERTAINLY WOULD BE BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY BEEN SETTLED.GOT YOU GOT YOU OK? JUST WANNA BE CLARIFIED. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE IT. VERY THOROUGH. THANK YOU. AND
