Ibelieve the employees work hard and deserve a bonus but the community is not seeing stuff and I was wondering if this is something that Town Manager says that is an excellent question and as a Board ifyou want to approve the budget with the exception ofone thing or approve the budget with the addition of something. Iwould like to add that Irecommend the COLA and retention bonus and the budget proposal makes a good case for both. Commissioner Stevenson is concerned about the 16% water and seweri increase because the community  could be: switched.  cannot see it.  June 4, 2024    Town Manager says it averages out 8% on the average bill. This is according tol Raftelis and their report they gave. April 30. You do have a valid point and we are going up on our water and sewer rates. Commissioner Draughn says but that isar rate that will continue toi increase until 2032? Town Manager says water and sewer should increase every year. You have to at least keep up with inflation. Even outside of Raftelis report there will always be an increase to water and sewer. Iam proud of the team and their accomplishments; the town team continues to run smoothly and efficiently giving our best toward growth. We are living in exciting and challenging times; as I have stated the citizens continue to deal with thei financial stressors as everyone else. With the economy every penny: needs tol bes stretched toi its limit and beyond. This budget although reasonable on most fronts fails to address in my opinion more direct impact to the citizens and tax payers. It does address some needs regarding sidewalk additions, street paving, and infrastructure however we will quickly fall behind if more is not done in this arena. Also, although the budget is balanced and we continue to build fund balance just like any other business it is ok to look at everything and make sure we are strong for the rainy days which is sure to come. We do continue to enjoy incredible economic growth but it is ok to hit the brakes al little from time to time. Ihope we continue to be mindful of that as a Board. I1 hope we put thei infrastructure for sidewalks on the fast track and paving sO we do not fall behind. My concerns have been spoken the last couple of meetings and) Icontinue to express them tonight. This is nott thet time for salary increases. Iam happy the Board has been able to be generous over the last couple of budgets to our staff when other municipalities have not been sO much; for that I am grateful. Want to express my deepest appreciation to town staffand entire team.Ia am sure everyone understands the economy and Mr. Mayor I make a motion to amend the current budget recommending to eliminate salary increases with the exception of part-time staff2.5% increase; and reduce water rates to increase 3% and reduce Imake a motion to amend the current budget recommending to eliminate salary increases with the exception of part-time staff2.5% increase; and reduce water toi increase 3% andi reduce sewer toi increase  Commissioner Lambert reads aj prepared written statement:  its toll that all citizens are enduring.  seweri rates to increase 5% that is a motion.  Commissioner Stevenson and Taylor would like the motion repeated.  5% thati is a motion from 6 and 10%. Commissioner Draughn seconded the motion. the increase 2.5% for part-time fire fighters.  Commissioner Taylor fully understands COLA gone, retention bonus gone, no increase for full-time fire department, those will be the three main things? Just want to make sure I am hearing correctly. Keep Mayor asks if we go to 3% water and 5% sewer what will this do sinçe this is al business? If we do not Town Manager says no. We will have to make cuts. I cannot tell you based on that % how much that  do the increases that were budgeted will this cover our expenses?  would be.  Mayor asks where would you cut in water and sewer?  Town Manager says unless I am given specific direction it would be my discretion where the budget Mayor asks is there any more discussion from the Board with the motion and seconded on the table? Commissioner Taylor would like the see the overall picture ofl how the water and sewer cuts will affect the enterprise fund before It throw my weight one way or the other towards it. I understand where you are coming from; we here from our citizens on a daily basis; water and sewer rates are always going to  gets cut.  June 4, 2024    bei increasing and that is difficult for everybody especially people on fixed incomes; people on minimal wage. jobs; all of these things will always affect them at the same time we have the responsibility of making sure that the enterprise business is running and is paying for itself and we are doing all the improvements we need to do to keepi it running well. As far as the raises; I get it.) Iam a State employee and went through 8: years with no raise. I understand abouti inflation, insurance cost andl having to adjust when not getting an increase. My biggest concern is the waterand sewer. We do not have another couple  ofmeetings during this time table to discuss anymore. Mayor says you can amend the motion.  Commissioner Draughn says can we compromise on the 3% and 5% some.  Commissioner Taylor asked how we: are on time ifwey were to table the budget adoption tonight. There is parts of Carl's motion I agree with; there are parts I am not sure about. I feel like I would be doing my. job for the citizens ifIcoulds see where those cuts in the enterprise fund would be ands see what those Town Manager says we need a decision by July 1.3 The Board could have another meeting in. June ifyou Commissioner Lambert asked what would the increases look like next year if we kept the 6% and 10% Town Manager says the increases go through 2032; here is the chart shown at the April 30 meeting. What you end up doing is delaying the pain. At some point you will have to do a double digit in water and sewer. You cannot pay for anything out of general fund. These increases gets us ready for when the water plant goes online. Being a water customer willl be different than being a water producer.  numbers are going to be. all wanted to do that. this year.

So I am not A motion was made by Commissioner Lambert to amend the first motion; to amend FY24-25 current budget and to eliminate salary increases with the exception of part-time staff 2.5%. The motion was Commissioner Stevenson says she still thinks the retention bonus should stay but not the COLA. Wait another year on the fire department salaries for full-time and keep trying to fill the openings. We are getting ready to grow more and we will need to hire more people. This will keep us from paying everyone the high salary and wondering can we: afford it. I would wait. We are, growing sO fast and will Commissioner Taylor says that is the consensus between three. Ia am not saying - disagree but that is the AI motion was made by Commissioner Lambert to amend the first motion; to amend FY24-25 current budget and to eliminate salary increases with the exception ofi part-time staff 2.5%.

Consider NLC Service Line Program Agreement  June 4, 2024    On May 7,2024 Ashley Shiwarski made aj presentation tos you during our public meeting regarding the NLC Service Line Program. During the meetingyou all had the opportunity to ask questions about the program and how it is administered. I have included al briefs synopsis of the program below: The Service Line Program is approved by the National League of Cities and many NC water & sewer systems have endorsed the program and allowed the company to directly market to their customers. These systems include large systems like Charlotte and Mooresville, medium systems like Eden and Hendersonville and many smaller systems like Mocksville. This program is offered by SLWA, a subsidiary of HomeServe USA Corp. and, ift the Board approves, they will market directly to residential Town water ands sewer customers. SLWA will serve a residential site with up to 4 units, but no larger. Only property owners can purchase the protection, but they can use the protection for a rental property.  The rates for each program are as follows: External Water) Line - $6.99 per month External Sewer Line - $7.99 per month In-House Plumbing $9.99 per month  The Town will receive al limited revenue stream from the company in exchange for allowing them to directly market the program to our customers. Shiwarski shared that there is a 5-8% participation rate in year 1 and that rises to between 15-18% by: year3.1 Based on the size of our community we should expect to receive somewhere around $1,500 annually. Town Manager recommends that we use this money to repair customer clean outs free of charge to reduce I&I in our sewer: system. The revenues are insufficient Town Manager recommends to the Board to approve the Marketing Agreement on the agenda and allow A motion was made by Commissioner Stevenson to approve the agreement with NLC Service Line Program.
