Thank you senator Hammer you're recognized thank you Mr actually my question is going to be for B. five yes Sir be Amy Department transformation search services. I think we would deal with you guys do we need to someone. One. Thank you. With the with the gap right now. Please recognize yourself for the record and you're recognized. And my law director division of building authority for transformation shared services. Okay is there a Mister you're recognized thank you. Morning and the question I had on the second paragraph it says the current fiscal year twenty one appropriation did not anticipate the new issues draw on funds from bond refunding therefore depleted the fiscal year appropriation not leaving sufficient appropriation why was it not anticipated or can you give the background on that please. Yes Sir I think it's probably more my era and that I didn't really understand the mechanics associated with the re finding that there would be a sweep of that existing cash account when the re funding was done which because that we have those funds for the debt service for the existing bonds are capped at a cash account with regions however we maintain an also a Fund in asus where we keep our appropriation and so those two funds we try to mayor at each other of course to keep them reconciled and so we have the appropriation in the asus account we have the cash fund at regions where they funds actually are maintained and so when the re funding was done they swept the cash account when we came back to me or that a transaction in aces there was not enough appropriation to allow for the re finding that the the movement of a truck transaction moving those funds out for the refunding and be able to continue with our normal debt service payments throughout the fiscal year so it was just the mechanics of the of the suite that happened during the refunding and being able to continue with their normal and debt service payments beyond that. Okay so as far as as far as far as the accounts concern then after the initial sweep its levelized outward where it needs to be moving forward yes Sir we didn't have to change our appropriation for debt service payments on an annual basis so this takes care of it okay thank you thank you Mr thank you senator are there any questions of the question.

Senate LA you're recognized I thank you Mr chair a sense of we had people quote unquote hurry up to get this to us and a lot of ways I guess because but you know there's going to be another meeting just as we heard one change you could can should we logically assume I guess people out there who know about this that there's not anybody else who need to make a change now that you have more time to think about this for another meeting. We DFA office a budget so the this was specifically to the pay PAYPLAN requests and pay plan we do this every year because of we put the budgets in place we run the appropriation bills and then at the end of the fiscal year based on our situation at as we in the year the governor makes a decision on performance raising. That has to happen at the end of the year because of we have to be able to see how much money we have it as a consequence of that we don't necessarily have our budgets in line for it so what we do at the end of the year is we try to get everybody where they should be good for the remainder of the fiscal year so answer your question as far as PAYPLAN goes this should be it okay now as far as miscellaneous federal grants cash funds all that other stuff yeah there's no telling yeah that's up to somebody else but then we get a grant and all that that's on that's fine that's all I need to know thank you so much yes ma'am thank you senator. with the question represent Fortner you're you're recognized.

Remove questions the questions Senator Elliott Elliot you're recognized. Yes Mister chair I had a question about number one on page nine that's the. Right of education. Good with the one from the part of education. Recognized for the records in you are recognized. Greg I just want education. Missy Wally Department of ID Education. A thank you we're wait now I guess who are working on the I just wanted to just try to kind of get an update about where we are with the solution tree contract and it at what point I see this is a five year this is part of a five year contract I read this correctly. At that point will we be in a position to. Either in this contract or put it in did for this contract at that point. And we looking toward doing that it's just a matter a matter of. Apparently it's a it's a good program but we we have we ever had a bid on the contract we the first year that we started this to a special language in the creation of the appeal sees for the department work with someone who offered this time and so the decision back then was to go with senator contract with solution tree and we're and you were beginning year five of the seven year contract at the end of that contract that will be that time we will re evaluate to see and if we need to take bids and do that and put it out for additional people have comments and try to apply for his well attended the seven years since I think means you probably add more will be examined I think but they're trying to do in the school district and appeals the method is to build content with in the schools the solution tree doesn't have to be as involved as they were and then that's something that we'll be looking at it in the seven years as well could we see a scenario where we might not the way this thing about the other the way things are going right now training and people to come in sets sufficient with these methods could we see a scenario because seven years is a long time to just have a contract where we might not even have to read it because we both use other maybe quorum court in house resources. Exactly and that's one of the things that I think mission are to be looking at at the end of the seven years as where are we build that in house content where I was having those in the school district's able to support appeals the method and as well as not in that schools but extended out to the other schools and districts and that's what the whole intent of it is to try to grow your own spread that out that will be some things that will be looking at in the seven years thank you for that because I think a we get to the end of seven years and we're still depending on solutions ready in that thank I think that would be a real reason to examine all the not we're using our funds carefully. All right I was just thinking about five years and I heard seven years and I have to reboot myself to get ready for something different okay thank you very much thank you thank you senator. We have another question nothing to Johnson. Thank you chairman good question number seven the pharmacy benefit manager for the insurance department. Five and a quarter million dollar.

S. college of pharmacy evidence based medicine program now we have another contract with the pharmacy benefit manager.
