 Today we'd like to talk a little bit about the budget that's been put together for 2019. Our current city hall is about 102 years old right now. The city made a decision that adopted a recommendation from the Building Use Committee which included a number of citizens that looked at the options. We took a look at building a new city hall on various sites and ended up coming back to we should stay in the building that we're in right now. But to modernize it and give it a new life. So there's a lot of construction that's going on. But basically we're going to be putting a new roof on the building, tuck pointing it. We're going to be completely gutting the inside of it and rebuilding it from the inside out. I think the building was originally built for $150,000. If you take that money and you extrapolate it in one of those calculators you can find on your computer that would come to a little less than $4 million. But it's costing $10.4 million for this entire project. Could you describe a little bit how we're going to be financing that? As you mentioned, $10.4, $10.5 is the overall budget. This million dollars was authorized in a borrowing in 2018 by the Common Council. And the remaining, the 5.5 million will come from the city's general fund balance. So the city, over time, due to higher than projected revenues, less spending than what was budgeted due to, again, conservative budgeting. The city has created a very nice fund balance within the general fund budget. And as a result, the Common Council has authorized transferring all those funds, 5.5 million, to the capital projects where it will be spent on the City Hall renovation project. The project is expected to be completed in June of 2019. And we can't wait to move back in, can we? It would be a little drafty to relocate at this time. Yeah. And we've moved city departments to two other buildings. Basically, the first floor of City Hall is moved into the Old Social Security Office, which is located just to the west of the current City Hall. And then the upper two floors, those offices were moved into the Sheboygan County Highway Department Garage. And so we're operating in a little bit different character than we'd normally like to be by being split up. But we appreciate all of our staff putting up with the different confines for their offices and hope that the citizens can still find the services that they need when coming to us for information and help. In the next budget, I'm just wondering if we're going to be seeing any road assessments coming back in. A couple of years ago, the City Council decided to suspend road assessments, and each year they've had to make a decision to either reimplement those or to suspend them. And I'm just wondering what's kind of plated in the 2019 budget with street assessments. Yeah. I think in 2017, the Common Council decided to suspend their never an easy charge to impose upon property owners. And as a result, the Common Council asked if staff could find an alternate way to fund a portion of the City's street improvement program. In essence, what's happened is that the City has increased its acceptance of debt being issued. And as a result, the City, in essence, is borrowing additional half a million dollars and not special assessing. Again, once we get a little more caught up, hopefully that amount will decrease, but for the time being, the City is borrowing an additional half a million dollars a year, but not imposing any special charge on any property that directly benefits from a street improvement project. And about that same time in 2017, the City approved a wheel registration fee, commonly known as a wheel tax, and I believe that brings in about $700,000 to $800,000 a year. And we were in the past receiving about maybe $300,000 to $500,000 a year in street assessments. So to some extent, in addition to that bonding, we're really spreading this out across all the taxpayers in the City when they renew their license plates. Yes. How will the taxpayers be impacted with the 2019 budget? What's going to be the bottom line for people and what they can look forward to in their tax bill? A bottom line for City of Sheboygan residents for municipal purposes is a 19.4% increase, or approximately 1.99% increase. So if I am the owner of a $100,000 property in the City of Sheboygan, my taxes, again, for City purposes, would go up $19.40 on an annual basis. Well, that sounds like that's a pretty good deal, you know, with all the things that we have to balance and everything, that's a pretty minor impact on our taxpayers. And I hope that they appreciate all the work that your departments do to supply the services and that we're not cutting back anything, still trying to supply all the services they expect of us. Thanks again for your time today, and thanks to all of our viewers for tuning in to learn a little bit more about the Sheboygan City budget for 2019.
