Mr. Hendricks, tell us why we're doing this. This is the final report for this fiscal year. It consists of two pieces, the monthly report you normally see and then a document entitled the

treasurer's settlement. Instead of presentation, it's it's on the approval agenda uh because this is the fourth quarter and it is the final uh, financial statement for the year. The cash balance at the end of the year is 54,210,728. General funds 19,866,408. Uh, just to refer to the treasurer's settlement, which is a requirement for the treasurer to complete at the end of the year and or the month he leaves. The uh, there's a letter that I would refer to that says that I certify that I've compiled these statements in accordance with the requirements of the state and of the government accounting standards board. Uh, that there are supplementary schedules reflecting actual revenue and expenditures by account and compared to the budget. That the financial statements were prepared on prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with the regulatory basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis as required by the state and they are not generally accepted accounting principles. Uh, so the funds and all the accounts have been uh, properly prepared. I have reconciled

all the bank statements, all cash uh, has checked out and is where it should be and prepared uh, statements showing the operations uh, of the for the year. The finances are good. We did as as well as we had projected in the budget or better. Uh, obviously the the CARES money reimbursement improved our financial position. So the uh, financial position of the county is good. The statements are prepared accurately and correctly. They have uh, passed the DLG's initial testing for uh, balances and what and whether or not the balances are correct and they've already actually been posted. And then we'll be getting ready for the audit, which should uh, begin sometime in September. Therefore, I recommend or request your approval. Commissioners, any question or comment? County Treasurer, would it be fair to say that we have money in the bank and pay our bills on time? Most of them. All right. That's all I wanted to hear. There are no other questions or comments. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed, motion carries. D fund transfers. Motion approved. Second.

E. Davis County Fiscal Court rate schedule. Move to approve. Second. I have a motion second, Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. Just a quick correction at the very top of the page that you all have. The effective date should be August 5th, 2021. This schedule is to approve rates being charged for goods and services at the parks department, animal shelter, landfill, and the upcoming spay neuter clinic. For the landfill, it should be noted this schedule includes only compost and hay. The tipping fees actually appear on a separate schedule. This list is reviewed annually with department heads and Treasurer Hendrickson and is updated accordingly. I would recommend approval. Uh don't we do this pretty much on a annual basis or semi-annual? We review them quite regularly. Yes, sir. Okay. Question or comment, commissioners? There being none, all in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed, motion carries. F resolution 11-20-21 and rural secondary road program flex funds agreement. Move to approve. Second. I have a motion second. Mark, I know you don't like to explain much of anything, but you're going to have to talk to us about this. Sure will, Judge. This is a standard agreement that we do

It is in the amount of $340,730. Um the roads that we are we have submitted and they have accepted are roads that we have already approved earlier this year for resurfacing. They are Bowler Road, uh Carlton Drive, and Jack Hinton Road. Uh if there's any questions, I'd be glad to answer. If not, I'd recommend approval. Commissioners, question or comment? Mark, real quick, what is a rural secondary road? It's a classification that the highway department uses for their their state highways. They've got primary routes, major highways, and then they have more rural highways, which are rural secondary. They typically classify all county roads as rural secondary. Kind of like our own county roads. Correct. Right. Okay. Any other question or comment? There being none, all in favor signify by
