Thank you so much. All right. On to five C discussion of the Finance and Budget Committee twenty twenty six meeting schedule. Um wanted to open it up for folks. Um I know some folks wanted to present soon, but we'll we'll get there. Yes. Thank you, Miss Matton.
Yeah.
Thank you, thank you.
We'll give folks a couple seconds to digest.
And it appears that each one of these coincides with the day that we already have a board meeting, so that Aligns well. Any comments, concerns?
Mr. Chairman.
Yes.
Uh just wondering uh why we don't have a meeting in February considering the budget uh schedule. I know that we have two in March, but that's kind of pushing it closer. If we're gonna have further discussions that are going to directly impact the budget, I would suggest that either we consider moving the March meetings into the month of February. Not sure if the county executive has opinion one way or the other.
Mr. County Zach? Anything?
So if you look at the board calendar, the budget calendar as it stands now. Um The proposed budget won't be presented until the seventeenth of February. That is our last meeting of February. Um so going into March with two committee meetings makes logistical sense, um in the sense that we'll you'll now have a proposed budget. We will then be in a c regular conversation. Uh unless there are Items that the committee wants to hear more.
How does the proposed Commercial & Industrial (CNI) tax work and what revenue could it generate?
uh about prior to the proposed budget, uh then I would suggest that we stick with the March date.
Mr. Chairman.
Yes, ma'am.
Um it makes sense. We can always add if if need be. I know that there were some uh topics that we wanted to have uh uh in depth uh discussion as a whole and so if need be we can have those conversations and add them to the calendar at a later time. Thank you, Mr Schwarter.
Thank you. Madam Chair
All right, my only question, um I was gonna ask about the February, so thank you for um clarifying, Mr. Shorter. My only question is with the March third, because the budget is gonna be prepresented, I guess what is it that previous week? Should we have a little bit more time? You know, does the third give us more time maybe to look over things and to think of topics? That's my biggest concern. Is making sure that each of these meetings that we have something important to discuss, but something that's not going to conflict or overlap with our regular board meetings.
