The budget itself. You have possible action, xavier. I for one see the need to have a reserve to pay for Consultant Services so i would like to keep that in and its something that can be rolled over year and year if we dont use. I dont think it makes sense that we tie our hands from doing new work that a consultant could provide for us, setting direction for lafco. So im okay making that onetime allocation. We can continue it year after year if we need to and essentially lafcos operate on a budget thats continued year after year, its been looked out in a research for a sense and not taken city and county funds for cca going forward. Im looking forward to that. I wasnt expecting to have a vote today even though its a possible action item before. It hasnt been my experience necessarily that we interim budget and before the 3 4 f1vote, commissioner breed. I dont feel i have enough information with certain items on the budget to say im comfortable moving it forward. Based on things in the
You need to present something to someone, if im not mistaken. But it doesnt have to be an approved budged. Is that right . We dont approve a final budget until the second of the hearings and this is our first hearing. Is it possible to approve a budged submitted by our executive director and you need to relay that information to, that weve relayed it and we will be voetding on it at our next meeting . Are you talking about the proposed budget or the final budget . It sounds like you need a vote to say that we saw them, its under review, and we will vote on it for a final version at a later date. From what i understand of the process is we need to knowledge that weve done this and that were communicating a proposed budget. It is not by any stretch of the imagination a final budget. There is still work that needs to be done on t because we have may 1st to do it, you could decide not to do anything, but we would have to have another properly noticed meeting. We could also just take action
I will definitely, i have the notes to get the 1314 budget. I think thats something thats pretty easy for the Clerks Office to produce for us, and i will talk to the Clerks Office about the half clerk assignment and probably have someone come and present at the next meeting when we do the budget. What i would recommend is that you approve whats in front of you today so our process can keep moving forward. Tpb not approval of the actual budget, we come back next month and well be able to hopefully answer your questions and you can approve or disapprove and we can accept the proposed budget and bring that back to the body and make an actual decision at the next meeting on the budget itself. You have possible action, xavier. I for one see the need to have a reserve to pay for Consultant Services so i would like to keep that in and its something that can be rolled over year and year if we dont use.

Has been met at this point and that we could make changes, to the degree you want to say you can make changes because you had changes on x, y and z, by all means do that and that can be part of the communication we send to the city and county. I guess i dont understand why its necessary. Lisa is looking up the code. Government code 56381 requires the commission to adopt annually the proposed budget by may 1st. By when . May 1st. Thats all you have in terms of. Im still reading the rest of it. So our clerk is still looking at the legislative code so what we can do, take additional comments, i think if commissioner breed still wants to continue , after that mr. Lindo and then well go to Public Comment and hope we get an answer. Mr. Lindo. Thank you. No, i was thinking, i think the code is going to clarify this. But it seems like there is a legislative requirement that is hovering over your head that you need to present something to someone, if im not mistaken. But it doesnt have to be an
Of that 55,000, we have that money set aside and we already have. inaudible . Yeah. The following year maybe we dont ask for as much because we dont need to replace that money. Its a matter of getting us in our own personal financial space from lafcos position and then moving forward, only requesting as we have been doing, obl requesting what we really need moving forward. I will mention there have already been some discussions at the board of supervisors about this matter and there were some questions from budget chair farrell and vice chair khapk about that 50,000, so i do need some direction from the commission its several, it wants to make sure we are. What did the internext report cost us . That came out of the cca fund. One report we do have, physically have done, was the report on garbage collection in the city and that cost us about 50,000 to do. It was actually done in two parts. My back has been less, how much they cost, even if you do a very basic simple report on subject a,
