To our budget hearing and I'd like to turn over to the county administrator for his opening remarks. We're going to go through the sides quickly. So course for the board this is a year around process I think this make sure 10th In addition all the meetings you have your staff and all the items you do throughout the year as it relates to the budget. Not going to go through each of these I went through at the last meeting. But the budget this year for 24 certainly has to be highlighted that once again the county has been able to utilize the growth in our at Lauren and not deal with the tax increase and that's 24 years actually because of the voter approve legacy debt and no just tweet down slightly. The projects you guys have prioritize after the year or for a throughout the year are funded. Budget I'm not going go 3. Talk about him last time. As the board knows that you're workshops a you give the direction to me is your and a straighter as well as your constitutional has to make. Appropriate reductions to the budget were could be done. Everybody participated not process a with a million reduction. From where we were. All these years of no increase in millage course the voter approved that services little bit different. So the millage is actually gone down significantly over the the county's past 24 years. And with that chair I'll turn it over to you for the process misters any questions of me.

And we were turned down for 3 Tons I see you're adding million to the legacy turn you which also had a 65 million dollar bond. Spent as far as our taxes and yet you can approve. 3 stop signs in my community for safety reasons. My taxes since 2012 have gone up 64%. I'm getting very concerned when I look at your budget as to what you're spending. 60% of your revenues coming from property taxes. I see things that I think you really need to slow down own in terms of expenditure wars. Such is the sheriff's budget. Emergency thing for me and on us. So I think our County you know if we have a down turn and you real loud 60% in terms of your property taxes. I think you know you need to slow down. I see a lot of fancy technology for screenings or anything hope you when you do your new administrative building. You'll be recycling some of the furniture because citizens have to do that we have to live on a budget. If we're you know retirees and you have a working class who has strong thing trying to buy homes boss and how to had to move out of the community because he could not afford a home here. So I'm just saying that maybe you need to slow down in terms you're spending because you're worth your property tax revenues were from 23 to 24 it shows like a 40% increase so what could you not rebates some of that to the prom to the taxpayer. Thank you. >> With that, I know their cards on this item so I'm gonna go ahead and close the public hearing and I will look to the board for a motion on this item.

On this item I do have one Martin hide. >> ok well for those of you don't want you to left. My name's maza knife I live on the aptly named shotgun draw life. I've a resident and taxpayer, a Sarasota Florida. The think part of 25 years and if you wonder why I came down here, but you got the county administrator to thank for the little show and tell so you can switch if you're hearing aids, listen to some music because you know kinda like this in. What we hear with is Sarasota counties. First 2. >> Billion dollar budget. County has been a 102 years. The 2 costs what to a 37 to get to a billion dollars. So between 37 and 2020 to 3. You got to $2 billion. But the county administrative sat there patronize ing tax bias the last meeting telling him that the millage rate hadn't gone out with this money come from very trace. Is taxpayers money. You've doubled the budget in 6 years. Let's talk about that. Obviously not many people I care. A lot to start with a direct quote from a county commissioner. 6 years ago that County commissioners said that he was troubled that we continue to live beyond their means. That was just 6 years ago. When the total budget was $1 billion. If the commission of Iran was trouble then. You must be jumping up and down and have an every baby now. Billing essos world fiscal conservatives. Couldn't even spell it. Budgets twice what it was 6 years ago, not even be a Biden lead socialist government could manage to double as expenses in 6 years. What a fiscal conservative is and to give you a couple of examples of what it isn't what it isn't is allowing on elected bureaucrat to dictate the budgets. My stuff came to me and said what they wanted to spend a talent. Would like that out. I tell you what you get to spend. But that's not have the show's plight has it. It should mean shouldn't mean waiting to see what Bill first comes up with is a property appraiser and how much property values of the increased to determine how much money you can spend. How much taxpayer money that you can spend without increasing tax rates because that's the smoke and mirrors tax rate is only one part of the equation multiply is the taxable value and you'll need to stop lying. About increasing taxes every one of you as voted to increase the taxes every single year. And they should put your money in your pocket coming up with these billion dollars. It didn't come from you. It was shocking that the county administrator did it but he's not the first want to involve win over the city. Other people over the years get out of the pram stop to think that they're in charge. I'm elected making over 200 grand a year. Just because somebody is property is increased in value. It doesn't mean they've got more money and he certainly doesn't mean that you get to put your hand in you that talk it and take it. Fiscal conservatives, serious. This is what real money looks like get real money. Actual money this is $250,000 by way of example, it is a lot of money. But that amount. Every 3 days to the sheriff's department by way of increase in your new budget $30 million is this every 3 days. 52 weeks a year. Created by increasing prices. The blind Biden you blame mix. Take a little bit of blame, yourselves. Handing out raises Willie nearly first off to a pretty much the only to make sure that they come believe their luck. Anybody who wants it that you can print money. We have that. Thank you service to shine you enjoy them. That no further card some a close a public hearing. >> Ask there's a discussion on this don't you sure please.

Not going to go through each of these I went through at the last meeting. But the budget this year for 24 certainly has to be highlighted that once again the county has been able to utilize the growth in our at Lauren and not deal with the tax increase and that's 24 years actually because of the voter approve legacy debt and no just tweet down slightly. The projects you guys have prioritize after the year or for a throughout the year are funded. Budget I'm not going go 3. Talk about him last time. As the board knows that you're workshops a you give the direction to me is your and a straighter as well as your constitutional has to make. Appropriate reductions to the budget were could be done. Everybody participated not process a with a million reduction. From where we were. All these years of no increase in millage course the voter approved that services little bit different. So the millage is actually gone down significantly over the the county's past 24 years. And with that chair I'll turn it over to you for the process misters any questions of me.

I see a lot of fancy technology for screenings or anything hope you when you do your new administrative building. You'll be recycling some of the furniture because citizens have to do that we have to live on a budget. If we're you know retirees and you have a working class who has strong thing trying to buy homes boss and how to had to move out of the community because he could not afford a home here.

A lot to start with a direct quote from a county commissioner. 6 years ago that County commissioners said that he was troubled that we continue to live beyond their means. That was just 6 years ago. When the total budget was $1 billion. If the commission of Iran was trouble then. You must be jumping up and down and have an every baby now. Billing essos world fiscal conservatives. Couldn't even spell it. Budgets twice what it was 6 years ago, not even be a Biden lead socialist government could manage to double as expenses in 6 years. What a fiscal conservative is and to give you a couple of examples of what it isn't what it isn't is allowing on elected bureaucrat to dictate the budgets. My stuff came to me and said what they wanted to spend a talent. Would like that out. I tell you what you get to spend. But that's not have the show's plight has it. It should mean shouldn't mean waiting to see what Bill first comes up with is a property appraiser and how much property values of the increased to determine how much money you can spend. How much taxpayer money that you can spend without increasing tax rates because that's the smoke and mirrors tax rate is only one part of the equation multiply is the taxable value and you'll need to stop lying. About increasing taxes every one of you as voted to increase the taxes every single year. And they should put your money in your pocket coming up with these billion dollars. It didn't come from you. It was shocking that the county administrator did it but he's not the first want to involve win over the city. Other people over the years get out of the pram stop to think that they're in charge. I'm elected making over 200 grand a year. Just because somebody is property is increased in value. It doesn't mean they've got more money and he certainly doesn't mean that you get to put your hand in you that talk it and take it. Fiscal conservatives, serious. This is what real money looks like get real money. Actual money this is $250,000 by way of example, it is a lot of money. But that amount. Every 3 days to the sheriff's department by way of increase in your new budget $30 million is this every 3 days. 52 weeks a year. Created by increasing prices. The blind Biden you blame mix. Take a little bit of blame, yourselves. Handing out raises Willie nearly first off to a pretty much the only to make sure that they come believe their luck. Anybody who wants it that you can print money. We have that. Thank you service to shine you enjoy them.
