So, today's agenda, we will just cover the budget timeline. We will go through the budget components, the council's role in the budget process, and then highlight just on a really high level the general fund revenues and expenditures, and then we'll slightly cover the CIP.

how can you sit there and look at the public and say, "We have $300,000 that we could do something with, but we're going to save it, just increase the taxes." I think it's something to think about.

Well, the one we have is a 2001... And it's old. That Now, when we're building them, we're using stainless steel... We're trying to build a 20-year truck. That was built as a 10-year truck. So, 20 years old.

we want to make sure that if we can just put $5,000 a year away for the next 10 years and have or put six or seven. That way, you know, we might be off a little bit, but it's easy to make up 10,000 versus make up 70,000 dollars and then all of a sudden you have a jump in your taxes cuz you weren't you know, smart enough to think ahead.
