Our sources of revenue are primarily property taxes, which are 83% or 8.2 million of our total revenues of 9.8 million. The charges and services include permit revenue, park program fees, and facility rentals that make up 15% or 1.5 million of the total revenues.

I mean my my thought is we need to be more in the zone of Eden Prairie, Rogers, Corcoran, Chanhassen, Shakopee. I mean the It's It's one thing to look at the averages of these communities. It's all It's a completely different um view to look at the utilization. I mean we we have so much more of activity going on here and we have so much more of um parks that we need to pay for.

I will note that um the franchise fees are allowed for any public purpose. So, as you look for alternative funding sources, you heard earlier 83% of our property taxes or our revenues are property taxes.

On Southwest Transit, if the county decides that they will continue to fund the service for Victoria, um and pick up our share of the cost... then that service would continue in the similar fashion as Transit Link... In place of that would be the county paying that subsidy for us. And so, if the county decides not to do that, it is my understanding that Southwest Transit will cease their on-demand service here in Victoria.
