passes chair chair votes aye also 2023 budget city attorney so the you have the attachments I can answer any questions that you've got about the budget for our office any questions comment on the phones is that the overall standard landlines then or or the phones line item is that is for our land oh that's for ourselves yeah so that's the the there's a cell phone reimbursement program and Liz and I have cell phones that are partially paid for by the city any other question it says um discussion and possible action um we will let attorney Adams let us know when we need to make a motion to vote nothing on any of the budgets okay um um police department so you have our budget and IFC in front of you uh police department's 2023 proposed budget reflects a 3 percent increase from 2022 this includes a 3.2 percent in personnel services and 2.5 percent increase in non-personnel services um so if you look at personnel services you'll see the roll-ups from the salaries from both the contracts that were settled and the wage study increases including the temporary salaries account which is for the crossing guards and then the corresponding roll-ups and the other benefits as a result of that in non-personnel services the changes that I would note one is in the IT service fund and actually that number in the IFC is wrong so there's a large increase there but part of that is about 40 000 that was from another account when those accounts got combined so the increase is actually 6 percent which is 16 thousand and 46 dollars there's a subsequent decrease in accounts under its software maintenance and subscriptions and that's because that's where that 44 000 dollars came from some of the other accounts there's a decrease in range supplies although that account is flat as it's been over the past probably 10 years the reason that it was bigger if you're looking at the budget in the previous years is because of the supply shortage for ammunition so he was taking us about two years to get our ammunition orders fulfilled so some of that rolled over from the previous year slight increase two thousand one hundred fifty three dollars in utility costs and then one thousand five hundred and twenty four dollars in janitorial services so those are the major changes if anybody has a question for audio visual supplies is that specifically for in the building or within the cars or it's for the whole department and so there's I believe there's a decrease there maybe not uh I mean it just looks like um so it's it's um DVDs that we need to do to use to um fulfill public records requests non other not IT related things to things that would be like it's first operating services okay that's what I was trying to clarify right thank you gasoline wow what a jump okay I guess there the idea is that it could be is that going to be enough it would or if I had a crystal ball I could answer that okay how did you do it this year um we're provided a rate from Bernie Romer okay what they're projecting that the fuel cost to be and then we have a three-year average for gallons of fuel that we use okay so multiply those two and that's the number it's not like you buy in a in a co-op area where you set one they set one price you buy it all at one time and then a user you work off it off a balance no the city except for um DPW our parts of DPW essentially has a contract through quick trip right and so they get a reduced price for them and they take all the taxes off and all of that so we're estimating I think it was like 366 per gallon and we average 44,300 gallons a year well I guess my concern is the last thing that I'd want to have happen there's a decrease in service because gas link costs so much and I know there are departments and colonies and all you know because of what we're going through right now we would do essentially the same thing that we did this year we're budgeting this and then if it needs to be adjusted we would talk to Caitlyn and try to do or if I can adjust either from somewhere in our budget or from the continuous if I have a question oh yeah okay any other questions comment that's a good question yeah all right does that need to go over anything okay well they're budget over me oh that's about it what fire department fire department oh I'm so sorry that's your own city now and I'm short I think they're saying all right Madam Chair thank you so you guys all have the information in front of you a couple of the highlights we you'll see our gasoline they increased about 26,000 due to the cost our medical supplies also increased about 18,000 and the firefighting supplies increased about 13,000 all because of supply issues and our firefight we had to buy a few more spare scba bottles which is our breathing air we bring into the fires so this is our first fiscal year that we are seeing the entire year as our combined fire EMS so you'll notice on that spreadsheet that it was it almost mirrors it's less than what previous years were because that's the one-on-one fund the 280 was separate so this will be the first year both EMS 280 and fire 101 are together so if you have any questions I'll be glad to answer all right this one does it need anything no right no all right I have a question I see that you cut development what exactly was that how does how's that affecting your staff and what is it so we it just we had to cut some of our training employee development just to meet the budget it was the easiest to cut from there because the other ones are hard fast supplies and equipment we need not that we don't need training but I got to get something for a zero percent so that's why we had to cut and how many employees is that affecting is well it's department wide some of them could have been conferences that we would have attended some of them would have been a class we were going to have an airway class for EMS that we'll just try to do next year or try to seek grant dollars for so yeah can some of that cost be passed on to the EMS services you know great for you know your gas and stuff like that can you push that on to so we as the chief explained Bernie gives us an estimate for gas prices and and with that increase we do and we figure that into our budget when we cut things like this 30 000 that we cut from employee development it's truly the the ambulance fees that we already have wouldn't really impact this because it's not necessarily only medical or EMS training it's all training so it could be fire related so that wouldn't work but our EMS ambulance fees are already set we could we evaluate them every year just stay current with the market and what other departments are doing so and competitive yes okay we still want to kind of stay under order across a little bit so we're right there right so like one of the things that is just taking over from from being overseas a little bit asking some of the things that they were you you don't charge an awful like select a car accident or anything like that so the state of Wisconsin because of the expenditure restraints yes we can't charge the full amount that we would like to basically like a fire recovery where if you had a car fire or car accident yes the federal government has x amount of dollars associated with those okay we do charge five hundred dollars for a car accident that we extricate out of okay and that's been in play long before my time so I don't think it has an effect on the expenditure restraint because we've already we've headed in play so we do charge a little bit but usually a car accident where you cut somebody out of the car let's say you pop a door and stuff that that's about a three thousand dollar fee that we could charge okay but everybody thinks we are charging the resident or the people but it's really the insurance companies because they by law have to have money set aside that's what they were talking about but we can't do that in the state of Wisconsin okay yeah any others we can just go back to my item yep so I also have to present the mag unit budget so that was included in the documents and for 2023 there's a zero percent increase in that budget nice what is that oh I see about it all right all right we're going to move on to the mag unit is a multi-jurisdictional unit that us the sheriff's department and uh Plymouth are part of fall part of time so we all work together cooperatively normally have been office off-site and a supervisor from the shoy and police department and you specifically the mag unit focuses on on the things on the IFC so it works to identify and disrupt drug trafficking organizations operating within shoy and county they provide drug abuse prevention and educational service so local groups and schools within shoy and county and they work to identify and respond to emergency drug problems within shoy and county chief has already chanced they're going to get state grants back you know they say you got zero zero and before that you got quite a bit of money so we still get some grant funds we won't find out out until later in the year most likely over about the last five years it's been about 24,000 of which about 10,000 I believe is actual grant funds from the feds that's a pass through through the state and the rest of the money comes from the state as part of essentially court fees or fines that they're passing on sort of make that up so like you said 20 years ago when they were really pushing trying to collaborative efforts like this we would probably get to over 100,000 dollars and that gradually was cut until probably about six years ago as we're at landed at about 24,000 so I would guess that that's about what we'll get this year and then we have been getting some other grants so you'll see some of that show up in some of these the last couple ones that we've gotten have been to replace vehicles so in this point I think we've replaced every vehicle in the right unit except for maybe one over the last probably three years until we've been able to replace a lot of that equipment and supplies through some of those other grants that we got then additionally I know the state has applied for some grant funding through the feds for heroin and opiates and then math and so that's through cops office but we're waiting to find out whether they're going to receive that money at which point they'll then notify us you're not going to see anything for fentanyl you're not gonna it would fall under the opiates and it's it's limited so Wisconsin is one of you know multiple people that have applied for it and then they'll score the grants and decide if the state's going to get money for this two-year period again or not so do you receive any monies or any monies available from some of the lawsuits from opiates we haven't personally gotten any direct funds the county has got some direct funds and then the state has got a bunch of money from some of those lawsuits I'm guessing that some of that will eventually be passed through or opportunities to apply for some of that the legislature banned cities from actually suing on those things and so it has to come through the state okay anyone else all right thank you chief number nine resolution number 74 22 23 10 3 22 resolution authorizing the Spokane police department to apply for and receive funding from the wisconsin department of administration 2022 law enforcement agency grant so this is a grant opportunity from the state department of administration received state coronavirus funds that they're making available to us we're eligible for 152,300 and three dollars and 74 cents that we have between to spend between now and june 30th yeah so they actually put the grant out in about april we're waiting to get the mou so now we've received the mou which is attached so part of the requirement is that we sign the mou which essentially tells us what we can spend the money on and requires us to do some reporting so that they can report back to the fence we're anticipating using some of the funds update some of our software investigative software that really needs updating and then one of the other allowable expenses as wellness initiatives so we're going to use some of the money for what they call annual wellness checks so we have a psychologist that we're working with that we're going to be sending everybody in the department to do a wellness check with once a year and then some of it will be used for some training expenses anybody i move to approve i'll second any questions concerns no i i do support the wellness portion of anything's great okay can i have a motion yep you have a motion don't go i second okay great all in favor say aye aye opposed nay all right chair votes aye motion carries number 10 resolution number 75 22 23 10 3 22 a resolution authorizing the fire chief to accept and expend funds received from the united states department of homeland security federal emergency management agency FEMA as part of the the assistance to fire fighters grant afg program thank you madam chair so uh yeah we were awarded a grant um to purchase some auto compression devices which would allow our paramedics to hook up a patient that's having a cardiac arrest and it does the compressions um so uh also freeing up their hands to do other items that they need to do other things on those type of calls it comes with the 10% match so uh we would just take out the roughly $8,000 that that shows here out of our budget uh which due to some of the supply issues has been freed up anyways we can try to postpone and purchase it the next fiscal year so if you approve you just gotta let them know we can accept it so how many of these are we getting uh five sorry that's okay five that's great yeah one for one for each ambulance and then the sparing to know this technology was actually available yeah it's uh we've never had it here but
