WE HAVE ONE ORDINANCE IN COMMITTEE, AND IT READS AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING 32,000 FROM THE UN-DESIGNATED FUND BALANCE OF THE 2026 ANTI-CRIME SALES TAX FUND, AND AUTHORIZING THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH A CERTAIN OUTSIDE AGENCY, WHICH IS ENGAGED IN ANTI-CRIME, ANTI-VIOLENCE, DRUG PREVENTION AND TREATMENT ACTIVITIES AT A COST TO THE COUNTY NOT TO EXCEED $32,000.AND WHOM I ASK IS HERE TO TESTIFY.
MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
THIS IS A, UH, A CONTRACT THAT THE PROSECUTOR HAS ENGAGED WITH WITH THE URBAN RANGER CORE PREVENTION PROGRAM.
THEY HAD THIS COOP AGREEMENT WITH THEM IN 2025, AND THIS IS A NEW RENEWAL OF THAT.
UM, I, I HAD READ PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THE URBAN RANGERS ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE SPECIFICS OF IT.
BUT THIS IS A CONTRACT THAT THEY HAVE WITH THEM, WITH COMBAT FUNDS.
ANYBODY ELSE? I JUST HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION AND IF THERE, IF THERE, I SEE I, I BRING MY BOOK AND I DON'T, I, I HAVE THE CLICKERS, BUT I KNOW WE CAN CLICK ONTO EXHIBIT B AS THE URBAN RANGER, THE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT, IF ANYONE'S AVAILABLE, UH, ELECTRONICALLY.
UH, YOU COULD SCROLL OR WHATEVER.
YEAH, IT'S, IT SAYS IT'S FOR SALARIES.
AND THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD BE USED FOR.
I, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE AUDITOR.
SO THIS SAYS IT'S AN APPROPRIATION.
UH, SO IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, OUR, OUR BUDGET IS A KIND OF MASTER APPROPRIATION AND THEN IF THIS IS A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION, WE NEED A PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THAT CORRECT? PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE REQUIRED.
WITH THAT SAID, THEN PERHAPS WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND ESTABLISH A TIME OR DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.
PARDON ME? WITH THAT SAID, PERHAPS WE DO NEED TO MAKE A TIME YES.
AND DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.
CAN I ASK IT, CAN IT BE JUST IN THIS COMMITTEE OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE THE LEGISLATURE'S? ALL PUBLIC HEARING.
WITH THAT SAID, WE'RE GONNA, UM, SET A TIME AND DATE IN THE FUTURE, NEAR FUTURE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING FOR, UM, THE URBAN RANGERS TO COME BEFORE THE LEGISLATORS COMMITTEE.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS FROM THE LEGISLATORS? THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO, UM, ADJOURN.
SO OFF THE RECORD, JAYLEN, YOUR QUESTION WAS ABOUT SALARY.
