“the tax levy is approved first by the HRA and then is confirmed by the city council at the same time that the council approves the preliminary uh 2025 total tax levy”

“when you set this Levy today you're setting the the maximum Levy that could be Set uh for 2025 so as we move forward uh to December and final approval of that Levy uh after today if this is approved as proposed you could only go lower you can't go higher”

“this Levy that we're uh that I'm recommending to you today would preclude those for 2025 but it does not preclude them for 2026 or Beyond”

“I don't want to change it dramatically like I don't want to tack this on to the end of a meeting I don't want to go that late um and I also don't love the idea of using our work sessions for it because it feels like we always have things that we want to discuss in those forms”

“the thing that's difficult to uh deal with is when we move beyond the end day or end time and so um either starting earlier so that we can ensure that we finish um as um expected or we need to build the agendas and control the conversation so that we're done on time”

“I think second would be we meet when we need to and so if that ends up meaning in a year for HRA we only need to have five meetings then let's just have five meetings um so whatever the need is let's schedule that but let's try to to um schedule it far enough in advance”
