          [00:00:19]
          UM, YOU HAVE A QUORUM. 
          UH, 
          [a.  Consider approving the minutes of the Baytown Fire Control, Prevention, and Emergency Medical Services District Regular Meeting held on April 18, 2023.]
CONSIDER APPROVING MINUTES. 
          MAKE DOWN FIRE CONTROL PREVENTION. 
          EMERGENCY NATIONAL SERVICE DISTRICT REGULAR MEETING HELD APRIL 18TH. 
          MOTION TO APPROVE. 
          SECOND. 
          SECOND. 
          ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          A OPPOSED PASSED PASS. 
          [a.  Discuss the Baytown Fire Control, Prevention and Emergency Medical Services District Fiscal Year 2023-24 Proposed Budget]
UH, BAYTOWN FIRE CONTROL PREVENTION AND EMS, UH, PROPOSED BUDGET. 
          DISCUSS THE BAYTOWN FIRE CONTROL PREVENTION, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE DISTRICT FISCAL YEAR 2324. 
          PROPOSED BUDGET, FINANCE OR MANAGER. 
          I WILL TAKE THIS. 
          UH, BOARD. 
          THANK Y'ALL FOR, UH, YOUR ATTENTION TODAY AS WE MOVE THE BUDGET. 
          UH, IT IS SHORT, SWEET, AND TO THE POINT. 
          AS Y'ALL REMEMBER, UH, AT THE LAST MEETING AND, UH, AS PART OF THE MINUTES AS WE JUST APPROVED, UH, WE DID GO OVER THE VEHICLE REPLACEMENT OR THE ASSET REPLACEMENT PLAN AT THE LAST MEETING. 
          UM, AND LAST YEAR OR THIS YEAR, WE SWITCHED ALL THE PERSONNEL OVER TO THE GENERAL FUND AND FOCUSED ON ASSETS FOR THE FIRE CONTROL, UM, UH, OR FOR THIS BOARD. 
          THEREFORE, WHEN WE BREAK THAT DOWN, IT, IT REALLY BREAKS OUT IN A VERY SIMPLE MANNER WITH A, A TOTAL REVENUE OF ROUGHLY 2.5 MILLION, UH, AS PART OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET. 
          UM, AND, UH, 65,000 GOING TOWARDS SUPPLIES. 
          1.9 MILLION GOING TOWARDS CAPITAL OUTLAYS. 
          AND I CAN, UH, THAT CAPITAL OUTLAY IS GOING TO BE BROKEN DOWN INTO AN AMBULANCE, A HAZMAT TRUCK, HIGH WATER VEHICLE UPGRADE, AND A PICKUP TRUCK, UH, THAT DOES ACCOUNT FOR THE FULL 1.9 MILLION. 
          AND THEN THE, UH, DEBT SERVICE IS 783,000 FOR A TOTAL EXPENDITURE OF 2.75 MILLION. 
          UM, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE 2.75 MILLION IS MORE THAN THE REVENUE, UM, THAT IS PROPOSED TO BRING IN THAT IS, UH, THAT WAS PREPARED FOR AND PLANNED TO BUILD OUT THAT WAY. 
          UH, SO IT WILL BE A $200,000 DEFICIT TO THE END BALANCE TO THE FUNDING BALANCE THAT WE HAVE. 
          AND SO THAT WILL DRAW DOWN THE FUNDING BALANCE FROM 2.58 MILLION DOWN TO 2.38 MILLION AT THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          THAT 2.3, UH, 8 MILLION IS PLANNED TO HELP WITH OTHER VEHICLE REPLACEMENTS IN THE COMING YEARS. 
          AND SO THE CHIEF AND HIS TEAM HAVE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF SETTING ALL THIS UP, UH, SO THAT THE BOARD HAS AN ACTUAL REPLACEMENT PLAN AND THAT THE MONEY IS THERE TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE REPLACEMENT PLANS. 
          AND THAT IN A NUTSHELL, UH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IS THE, UH, BUDGET. 
          CAN WE DO VOTE ON THAT OR JUST ALRIGHT.
