Yes. >> Mr. Sergeant. >> Yes. >> Financial report. >> Good evening. For the financial report this evening, overall revenue has increased by 0.9%. That increase is primarily driven by an increase in SEK of approximately 5.4% or $227,000. And motor vehicle revenues showed a small increase of about $7,000 or 2.64% over this time last year. Um, other revenues remain flat as I've discussed previously, but for November, we should be seeing an increase
003in our property tax revenues. Expenditures for salary and benefits are up 7.2%. That is reasonable based on the step and 4 and a.5% raise approved. And as I've said previously, we do expect that to level off closer to 6.5%. Uh, we are down from 7.4% last month and 7.8% in August. So that is trending downward. Non- salary expenditures are up 9.7%. That is significantly less than last month. The majority of the increase is due to an additional bus purchased in fiscal year 26 over fiscal year 25. We bought three this year, what two last year that accounts for $116,000 of the overall $188,000 increase. The additional increases um beyond that 116 can be attributed to software and insurance cost that I have mentioned at previous meetings. Any questions? That is all I have. >> Second.

Mr. Brown. >> Yes. >> Mr. Carmichael. >> Yes. >> Mr. Collins. >> Yes. >> Mr. Fentrez. >> Yes. >> Mr. Sergeant. >> Yes. >> Orders of the treasurer. >> Are there any questions regarding the orders?

And then I believe um the next one will be uh adjusted um it's rising sun developing company uh general trades and site work. So the total amount is $939,11521. But if you'll recall, we decided to hold some of that back because of the receding and ensuring that all of that was uh receeded in the appropriate manner so that we could use it um as its intended purpose. So we held back I believe um Mr. White is about $25,000. So as soon as that check has already been cut, so as soon as that is completed up to par um and to standards, then we will release that check. But that's the only one that we are holding a check
021on until that is completed to um to appropriate levels where it can be used. Any questions? >> So So you're holding the check on item seven. Is that correct? >> Yes. >> Okay. And then on item five, I'm I'm I'm a little bit old and disoriented on this one. Explain that number to me again. And what does that cover? >> I will tell you exactly. That one is uh central Kentucky sheet metal. So, Central Kentucky Sheet Metal um is for plumbing and mechanical. Uh the original contract amount was $2,854. Excuse me, $2,854,615.
