19:02 are suffering. We've got over a thousand electricians out of work. And I would hope that you'd take that into consideration when you guys do your bids and maybe you can do some project labor agreements. You know we've had a great relationship with the the cowlitz indian tribes and they've really appreciated the quality of work that we've done at their casino. Always neat complete up to date on time. No injuries. No accidents. You know always what they want. And I would hope that the city would also want that because I know there's a lot of union members that work for your city and our unions would love to work for the city as well. So I would just ask that you guys consider that next time you guys do some bids. I know we've talked about it at the labor round table as well about doing some project labor agreements with the city and the county. So I would hope that you guys would consider that and that's

20:01 all I got for now. Thank you. I'll close the community communication and bring it into the consent agenda. Councilors are there any items that you would like to pull? So let me read item number nine into the record. This title is an ordinance relating to management of the rights of way granting to Michelle Michelle Telecom Inc. Lightcurve and its affiliates a corporation a non-exclusive and revocable franchise to install operate maintain a telecommunications

20:55 system on on in over upon along and across public ways of the city of Vancouver establishing certain rights duties terms and conditions with respect to the franchise and setting an effective date and conditions grantee in the city are sometimes collectively referred to as the parties hearing no item to be pulled I have a motion to approve items one through ten second second by Stoeber comments mayor counselor so I very much appreciate mr. Barnes comments this evening and I understand that a lot of principles of a project later agreement find their way into our contracts but they're they're buried into larger documents I for

21:55 one would very much like to see our standards brought out into a single document that is something that's easier for us to share to reference and can be can really be a standard and and we can be very clear about where we are and what are the opportunities we still have to grow as a community thank you very much thank you and I'd like to thank staff for item number eight the collective bargaining agreement with our Vancouver police officers Guild I knew that there was a great deal of work involved in that thank you for working so well we have a motion and a second all those in favor say aye aye opposed motion passes thank you very much that brings us into item number 11 this is the public hearing this

22:52 is an ordinance relating to the 2025-26 biennial budget and making supplemental appropriations in various funds needed to meet certain necessary expenditures to be incurred in 2025-26 which were not or could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the adoption of the 2025-26 budget declaring an emergency and providing for an immediate effective date staff summary please thank you mayor and council thank you Shannon Olson budget manager here at the city here with Lisa Brandl Lisa Brandl deputy city manager interim CFO good evening good evening all right let's jump in so most of this is the same as what we reviewed on the workshop on March 2nd but we will go through it again at a quick high-level summary just

23:50 to give a little overview the supplemental budget does occur during the biennium to adjust the appropriation due to unanticipated circumstances any adjustments to the budget do require approval by council to amend the current biennial budget and this supplemental specifically does include administrative items expenditures associated with new external revenues as well as requests based on newly identified needs as well as adjustments to some revenues we did go in detail on all of these revenue adjustments last time but just to recap due to some decline that we've seen in permit activity and permit activity does impact all revenues generated from new development including sales tax as well as park and transportation impact fees

24:47 within the supplemental we did adjust our impact fee revenue budget to match the revenue that we have received through 2025 as mentioned last time our cable franchise revenue has been adjusted to better align with the forecasted amounts as we have seen a decline in the revenue with cable subscribers canceling their services to stream their services instead within the supplemental we are adjusting the cable utility tax as well to match what was received in 2025 as well as or due to the actual revenues not being starting to accrue until the second quarter of 2025 so we are adjusting to match to the actuals and then also now that we have some revenues coming in we are adjusting 2026 to better align with what we know to be true

25:42 utility tax revenues in 2025 came in higher than forecasted so those taxes are getting trued up for 2025 as well as more aligned with the forecast in 2026 and then we have added the $6 million in new revenue for proposition 5 and then due to the passing of proposition 5 the bank capacity revenue from proposition 2 for 2026 is recommended to be removed within this supplemental and we will go into the prop 2 bank capacity a little bit further in the presentation overall within operating and capital the recommended expenditure appropriation for the city's operating and capital funds total seventy point one million which is pretty

26:38 similar to prior supplemental budgets this supplemental specifically will result in utilizing 14.2 million in city resources and of that amount the general fund share is a credit of 4.1 million of the 70.1 million you can see the breakout here we have 35.5 million relating to the operating side and 34.6 million to the capital budget the general street fire funds specifically make up 8.1 of the appropriation with 27.4 million within other operating funds and then of the 34.6 in capital we have 26.1 related specifically to capital projects and

27:35 then 8.5 million is representing the funding transfers that support the capital projects excuse me these next two slides go over the FTEs that are recommended to be added within the supplemental 27 in total but as discussed in the workshop the majority of the FTEs do have offsetting revenue support and then as discussed in the last council meeting the position reclasses that did require additional budget or were not represented on schedule D are shown on the appropriate attachment B as we talked about additionally positions that change departments are also reflected on attachment B as appropriate and attachment

28:30 B is in your council packet and then circling back to prop 2 bank capacity so this as mentioned the supplemental does remove their prop 2 bank capacity revenue due to the passing of proposition 5 that was passed in 25 the prop 2 bank capacity revenue was budgeted at 5.5 million to support fire capital and operational expenses 3.6 million was specifically budgeted for the completion of fire station 8 in 2026 however now that that revenue is recommended to be removed from the sub or within the supplemental there will be a resolution on the council's consent agenda scheduled for next week April 13th requesting an inner fund loan from the

29:24 general fund to fire so that station 8 has the funding support needed to complete the project in 2026 with the expectation of the proposition 2 bank capacity going into place in 2027 for the loan to start getting repaid and with that I am happy to address any questions that you might have thank you so shown when you talk about the reclassification those are for the salaries of individuals that are being promoted and and they're in a new classification yeah so if yeah if somebody's getting a promotion or just reclass due to a market study if they do need additional budget than it is included it is shown on attachment B also we have schedule D that represents all the positions at the city for non-union specifically if there's

30:21 a position reclass that occurs where that position doesn't is not already listed on schedule D then it also gets added at to attachment B for transparency great thank you so much other comments of staff yes Councillor Stoker thank you mayor thank you for the presentation
