During a budget update, officials discussed carrying forward previously approved funding to align with the county's parks and capital improvement plan, and a separate presentation on the Community Development Block Grant noted anticipated funding to improve community and recreational spaces. Additionally, a resident advocated for preserving green spaces at the county fairgrounds, arguing for more trees, grass, and dirt fields instead of expanding paved parking areas.

What was said
34:13 legal settlements and unanticipated revenues and expenses such as grants. There are 20 requests in front of council today, 15 carry forward, two previously approved by council and three technical adjustments. I'm going to summarize what they are. I'm not going to go line by line. But the 15 carry forward, all of these have been previously approved. This is simply carrying forward the unspent funding from 2025 to 2026 so that the project can continue. Most of these are capital projects, such as the elections backup generator, public health elevator repairs, fairground projects that council approved. Replacing neighborhood signs, finishing up the HPOD renovations in the jail, the e-defender public defense case management system, and supplies for the sheriff's office that were ordered last year but have not received those yet, such as gas masks.
35:09 The second piece on here is the previously approved by council, there are two of these. This is the parks and capital improvement plan and the transportation improvement plan. We start our budget process very early, so this is really truing up the budget to actuals to get as lined as we can be. And I'm sure there'll be some more updates in the fall supplemental in November. So this really just allows them to continue the work that council's already approved and just getting a little closer to the alignment. And then finally, there are three technical adjustments. Technical adjustments are simply coding changes, reallocating budgets to align the coding to the correct place. There were just a couple of these with the district court projects, the cyber security contract to correct the funds and the ledgers that were assigned to this. So again, all of these have been previously approved by council, there is no new request.
36:04 It's really just aligning our master plans and our capital plans more aligned with the budget. Happy to answer any questions council may have. >> Are there any questions? Hearing none, I think we're ready to move on to the public comment. And just this public hearing is on the capital technical budget supplemental as described. And so if anyone has signed up, you are limited to three minutes, and please come forward. >> Carmen De Leon. >> Yeah, it's me, Carmen De Leon, and I hope this is the right topic because it says right here Adjustment Supplemental Income.
