This coming Thursday, the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation will be hosting in partnership with us, the city, their annual developer summit. This is always a great opportunity to work with local small business owners, developers, contractors, construction folks that want to grow and expand their businesses and help our community grow. So if folks are interested, check out the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation's website for this opportunity. Also, public works has made some announcements starting next week. Leaf collection will begin. So I always want to remind folks to help our team out and our equipment to just have leaves, no yard waste or sticks, anything of that matter. So that will begin October 9th, running through November 17th. Again, also starting today regarding DPW Park Shelter Reservations for 2024 started this morning. So I know our DPW staff was probably busy handling those as well. But if you want to book a location, pop in sooner than later because they fill up fast.

Was this one on the CIP from last year or the previous year anyway? Finance Director. I believe it is actually going is included as a request for 2024. So how can we authorize something now that is on the CIP for 2024? Also, but it was approved previous years for 2024. That is my understanding. It is utilizing fund balance, so it would just be adjusting the 2023 budget in order to do the purchase early. But it was in the CIP for 2024 in the previous version of the CIP. I believe so, but I'd have to bring it up to confirm if you have a moment. Okay. I do not see it in the 2023 to 2027 plan. All right. Follow-up question? All right. Seeing no more. Clerk, we'll open the roll. Seven ayes, one no, one abstain. All right. That item is approved. Items 17 through 21 will be referred to their respective committees.

Any other discussion on this item? Seeing Alder Mitchell. Thank you, Mayor. Just a quick question. Am I ended? Mentioned in the resolution that I believe it said the agreement was dated August 21st or September 21st rather. Does that mean that we've already been receiving these services as the city or have we been paying for them but not receiving them until the point that the agreement is approved? Yes, Ms. Hendy is here working. This would be a backdating approval for that. Perfect. Thank you. Alder Flicky Paneski. That was my same question. Thank you. Thank you. Other discussion? Seeing none.

I know our finance director will just make some remarks on item number 32. Thank you mayor. The item number 32 is the 2024 budget appropriations and the tax levy for next this year to be utilized for next year. I just wanted to make a couple comments to the for the greater good of Common Council here tonight. It is a preliminary budget. There are two committee of the whole meetings that will occur in October 1 on October 16th and 1 on October 23rd where we'll discuss both capital improvements program and the operating budget which is part of item number 32. The document was compiled with the guidance from administrator Bradley. He helped a little early compared to when he's starting but he did help guide the process a bit and then the mayor and Alder's Salazar Decker and Mitchell were also included in the compilation of the preliminary budget document. Currently the budget is balanced with what is in the packet. That includes all known increases that were previously presented to the council. It also includes a cost of living adjustment factor for all salaries of current staff. Also some reserve for the salary increases that will occur though the it's a placeholder because all unions are going to be under negotiations for next year's salaries. It also includes any changes and benefits. Additionally there are some items that were included on the additional needs listings that were from the departments within the budget. I want to just point the council to the document that's within the packet of the additional needs listings in totality. It is color coded based on if items were included in preliminary budget or not. So I just want to draw your attention to that. Another item of point is that the preliminary budget document with line detail of every department is currently getting compiled by the finance department and will be posted in the next few days to the finance department's website on the city page under financial reports if you're looking for it. And lastly I just also wanted to mention that the 2024 to 2028 capital improvement program requests are also posted on that same portal on the finance department's financial reports site on the city website. Those have additional details and descriptions and information on each request. So just wanted to bring attention to those items. Thank you. Thank you finance director. Alright next item reports of committee item 33 RC number 94 23 24 by the finance personnel committee to whom was referred resolution number 61 23 24 by older persons Mitchell and Flicky Pineski authorizing the finance director to make all necessary changes and transactions in the city's general ledger to close the cable TV fund and to consolidate it into the general fund older Mitchell.
