MADAM CHAIR? YES, SIR.

UH, ONE REQUEST.

UM, I THINK FOR THE BUDGET COMMITTEE, UM, AS I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR COUNTY EXECUTIVE, I'VE ASKED HIM TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF, UM, AN AMENDMENT TO OUR BUDGET.

UM, SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD ASK ALSO FOR THE COMMITTEE TO PREPARE FOR, UH, THAT IF YOU ALL REMEMBER IN OUR FAST BUDGETING PROCESS TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR, WE HAD SOME SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS WHO WERE SHORTED MONEY JUST BECAUSE OF THE TRANSITION TIME BETWEEN THE LAST EXECUTIVE IN THIS ONE.

THE GOAL IS TO TRY AND RECTIFY SOME OF THOSE, UM, INEFFICIENCIES THAT WE OVERLOOKED, UM, BUT ALSO KIND OF, UM, PUT BACK TOGETHER A BUDGET THAT IS MORE MEANINGFUL AND APPROPRIATE FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS.

SO, UM, I ASK THAT, UH, YOU ALL BE PREPARED FOR THAT TO COME HERE IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.

UM, BUT I'VE ASKED THE EXECUTIVES OFFICE TO, UH, WORK QUICKLY TO TRY AND, UM, EVALUATE WHAT'S NEEDED, UH, WHAT'S NECESSARY, WHAT, UM, ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES WE, AS WE LOOK AT MAYBE THIS UPCOMING ELECTION, UM, FOR OUR AUGUST AND GENERAL ELECTIONS WITH THE CONGRESSIONAL RACES, THE WAY THEY ARE IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE WAY IT IS.

PERHAPS WE NEED TO LOOK AT MORE ELECTION PROTECTIONS, BUT ALSO STAFFING AND OTHER NEEDS AROUND THE COUNTY.

SO JUST SOMETHING TO HAVE A HEADS UP.

I KNOW THIS YEAR WE DON'T TRADITIONALLY BUDGET, BUT, UH, AS AMENDMENTS, THESE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO MOVE THINGS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, UH, THAN WHAT WE INITIALLY THOUGHT OF LAST YEAR.

SO JUST AS A HEADS UP, AND THIS WILL BE INCLUSIVE OF ALL DEPARTMENTS OR I HAVE MADE IT CLEAR TO, UM, THE EXECUTIVE THAT WE SHOULD EVALUATE ALL DEPARTMENTS INCLUDING OUR OWN, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE, THE NEEDS THAT WE, WE WANT AND WANNA SEE WITHIN OUR LEGISLATIVE SIDE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

YEP.

IF THERE'S NO OTHER BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE, THE BUDGET COMMITTEE IS ADJOURNED AT 2:07 PM.
