[00:31:40]
IT'S NOT JUST FOR RADIOS, IT'S FOR. DEPRECIATED ASSETS. I THINK ANYTHING OVER $5,000 GOES
[00:31:50]
IN THERE. SO IT IT HAD LIKE 1.5 MILLION WAS THE BUDGET. AND THIS WAS JUST ALLOCATED FOR[00:31:58]
RADIOS. BUT THE BUDGET ITSELF IS THAT THAT LINE ITEM, THAT JAIL ACCOUNT ITSELF IS LIKE 1.5[00:32:05]
MILLION. BUT WITHIN THAT LINE ITEM, WE HAD BUDGETED IN AN EXCEL SHEET FOR THE DETAILS,[00:32:11]
THE RADIO, I GUESS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. SO WHEN I LOOK AT THIS REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE AND[00:32:20]
IT'S GOT $599,100 FOR RADIOS, IS THAT NOT WHAT YOU'RE PULLING THIS 448,000 OUT OF IT WILL BE[00:32:31]
OUT OF THE WHERE'S THE G L ACCOUNT? YES. YOU'LL BE OUT OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY. AND THE CAPITAL OUTLAY IS. THIS WOULD BE, I WOULD SAY, A SUBSET OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY. SO THE CAPITAL OUTLAY, LET'S JUST SAY IS LIKE 1.5 MILLION. AND IF YOU BREAK THAT 1.5 MILLION DOWN, IT'S NOT IN IT'S IN A SPREADSHEET. LIKE IF YOU LOOKED AT THE BUDGET THIS YEAR, I WOULD HAVE HAD A SUPPLEMENTAL SPREADSHEET THAT HAD EACH THING BROKEN DOWN RADIOS, COMPUTERS, LAPTOPS, BECAUSE THAT'S THIS YEAR, YOU'VE GOT 1.9 MILLION AND RADIOS. BUT THE CAPITAL OUTLAYS, ONLY 30,000. THE CAPITAL OUTLAY FOR RADIOS. NO, IT JUST IN YOUR IT BUDGET. SO AGAIN, IT'S A BUDGET QUESTION MORE THAN A. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS AGAIN, WHERE I DON'T, I SO AGAIN, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF BUDGET. SO CURRENTLY HOW MUCH MONEY IS IN YOUR. ROUGHLY SPEAKING, HOW MUCH MONEY IS IN THE BUDGET? I MEAN, IS IT I MEAN, IS IT ROUGHLY 1.5 MILLION? IS THAT WHAT I HEARD YOU SAYING? I MEAN, YEAH, THAT WAS FOR TOTAL. AND THEN HOW MUCH MONEY ARE THESE RADIOS GOING TO COST FOR $448,579.63. WE'RE GOOD. WE'VE GOT WELL OVER A MILLION.WE GOT OVER $1 MILLION LEFT TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE. AND NEXT YEAR WE'RE GOING TO BE REPLACING LIKE 21 RADIOS MORE THAN THIS YEAR. SO THAT'S WHY THAT ALLOCATION IS MORE.
MONEY'S ALREADY THERE. TONY. WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE RADIOS, THEY'RE TAKING THEM OUT OF THE BOX. DO THEY NEED A CONFIGURATION FOR THE CHANNELS? AND HOW MUCH WORK DO YOU HAVE TO PUT INTO THEM BEFORE THEY'RE GOOD TO GO? YES. YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT? SORRY ABOUT THAT.
YEAH. NO NO WORRIES. NO WORRIES. A GOOD QUESTION. THIS IS AN ALBERTO AND LYDIA INFRASTRUCTURE SUPERVISOR. AND THEN SHE'S ALREADY SUPPORT SPECIALIST. HELLO. I'M LILY, I'M YOUR RADIO SUPPORT SPECIALIST. WHEN THEY DO COME IN, THEY DO COME IN THE BOX. I TAKE THEM OUT. I HAVE ACTUALLY WORKED REALLY HARD ON GETTING IT TO WHERE I CAN PREPROGRAM THEM BEFORE THEY GO TO THE UPLIFTERS, OR THEY NEED TO GO TO THE UNIT SO IT MINIMIZES THE TIME OF WHEN THEY GET IT. WITH THE NEW SYSTEMS THAT WE'VE BEEN IMPLEMENTING, IT COULD TAKE
[00:35:05]
ABOUT 3040 MINUTES TO PROGRAM THEM VERSUS A FEW HOURS. OKAY. SUPER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.YOU'RE WELCOME. I GUESS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? AND WE'LL CERTAINLY HAVE THE BUDGET QUESTION ANSWERED BY THE TIME YOU TAKE ACTION ON THIS. BUT AGAIN, YOU'VE GOT YOU'VE GOT OVER. THE MONEY'S THERE, BUT CERTAINLY THE MONEY'S THERE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF I'M LOOKING AT WHAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE BUDGET AND THERE'S $150,000 LEFT OVER, WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT? OH, FOR. SO IF IF THAT'S NOT THE LINE ITEM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND THERE'S $1 MILLION LEFT OVER. OH, GREAT. WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT 26 BUDGET? AND THAT I CAN THAT I CAN ANSWER. SO LET'S SAY FOR THE IT BUDGET, IT COMES OUT OF OUR OWN FUND. SO IT'S OUR BUDGET IS KIND OF REALLY WE'RE TRYING TO ASK PERMISSION TO SPEND THE MONEY. IT'S THE RENTAL SCHEDULE THAT GETS PULLED OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND. AND THAT'S THE ONE YOU NEED TO REALLY LOOK AT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S COMING OUT OF THE CURRENT FUNDS THAT YEAR. SO THAT'S WHEN YOU WANT TO DIG INTO IT, DIG INTO THE RENTAL SCHEDULE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S ACTUALLY AFFECTING THE CURRENT. GENERAL FUND FOR THAT CURRENT YEAR. THE BUDGET THAT WE HAVE IS ALREADY COMING OUT FROM THE IT BUDGET WHERE WE DEPRECIATE ASSETS. SO IT'S IT'S DEVELOPING ENOUGH MONEY SO THAT OVER, YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN KIND OF LIMIT THE BLAST RADIUS. SO WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR $5 MILLION OUT OF THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. AND IT'S ALREADY IN THE IT FUND. SO THAT MONEY'S KIND OF ALREADY ALLOCATED. IT'S MADE TO REPLACE THESE ASSETS THAT ARE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, ACROSS TEN YEARS, FIVE YEARS, EIGHT YEARS. BUT THE RENTAL SCHEDULE IS THE AMOUNT WE ACTUALLY PULL FROM THAT CURRENT YEAR. BECAUSE I, AGAIN, MY MY QUESTION FOLLOWS, MR. THOMPSON, THAT I, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE THINGS ARE FUNDED WELL ENOUGH SO THAT WE'RE NOT WINDING UP IN THAT SITUATION. AND THAT'S THE RENTALS. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE RENTAL SCHEDULE MECHANISMS ARE MADE FOR IS TO DEPRECIATE THESE ASSETS. SO LIKE WHEN WE BUY THESE, WE'RE GOING TO DEPRECIATE THEM OVER TEN YEARS, MEANING WHATEVER IT COSTS, WE'RE GOING TO DIVIDE IT BY TEN. AND EACH YEAR WE'RE GOING TO PULL A LITTLE BIT OUT OF IT.
AND THEN THE 10TH YEAR WE'LL BE ABLE TO REPLACE THAT WITHOUT A HUGE CHUNK OF MONEY FROM THE GENERAL FUND. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS DOT TONY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP HERE. THANK YOU. THANKS, TONY. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE BEFORE I ACCEPT A MOTION TO ADJOURN. SO MOVED. SECOND, SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR,
