And whereas elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation are serious, often hidden tragedies that affect millions of older individuals worldwide, crossing all socioeconomic, racial, and geographical boundaries. And whereas preventing preventing elder abuse requires a collective communitywide effort to raise awareness, strengthen support systems, improve reporting, and foster environments where older adults can age with dignity and security. And whereas World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was established by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization to give communities around the globe a single unified voice to oppose the mistreatment of older persons.

Uh we'd like to thank Judge Castlin and the Davis County Fiscal Court for bringing attention to an issue that affects millions of older adults, their families, and our communities. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day reminds us that every older adult deserves to live with dignity, respect, safety, and independence. Elder abuse, whether physical, emotional, financial, or neglectful, often happens behind closed doors, making awareness, education, and community a essential. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting vulner vulnerable older adults, supporting caregivers, and ensuring that seniors have access to the resources and services they need. We all have a role to play in recognizing the signs of abuse, speaking up when we see concerns, and fostering communities where older adults are valued and respected.

Under our fund accounting rules and regulations, we are prohibited from ending the fiscal year having any account line where the actual expense is greater than the budgeted expense. We do not inflate budget estimates to guard against this and instead we budget reasonably and adjust the budget during June meetings with these budget transfers. This is the first round of transfers. All of which are either offset by revenue, another expense reduction, are an approved result of normal operations, or are a special project or item approved by the court. As a no budget transfers do not increase the total budget, we are simply moving money around within the budget. I request your approval to make the following transfers. $2,736,400

in the general fund, $973,100 in the road fund, $57,500 in the jail fund, $2,719,500 in the solid waste operating fund, and $15,500 in the opioid abatement settlement fund. — Thank you, Mr. Johnson.
