We work within the parameters of visions and plans that have been approved by the city council and the HRA. So we try to carry forth those visions that have been in these fully vetted plans that had a lot of community process. And so if it's not in the plan we will I wouldn't bring it forward to you as a concept or an idea unless directed otherwise.

My understanding is that one of the asks is that we approve moving forward with issuing an RFP to develop the land that will be a landlocked parcel 4.8 acres in size. And I need to say very clearly, I can't support that.

I don't think I've ever had so many letters from our residents concerned about property tax increases... I think we have to know what the property's worth on the retail market... And then use that money to keep our residents taxes down or... I think we need to frame it up a little bit broader way from a foundational sort of standpoint before we head for an RFP on housing only because I think we've got these other responsibilities.

I was going to go back to slide two... I do think we need a bigger. We need to cast a wider net. And... I don't think we should go for it with an RFP that is positioning us to only those kinds of outcomes... I think we need to cast a wider net. And personally, I think we should be looking holistically at how we stabilize our general levy.

I have a feeling that really top economic times are coming... So what does that look like? It's a scale, right? Balance on the one hand. We're going to be facing pressures for our city budget. On the other hand, the need for affordable housing is going to skyrocket because we're going to have a lot of unemployment coming forward... So how do we put that balance together in the use of this land?

Microgrids are paired with fire stations so that when the power is out, you have more security in terms of your energy. It is a way to mitigate rising costs of electricity... It seems the city would own and manage or we would sell it and have someone do that... There are grants out there for them... I think it could add value to any sale price that we might want to pursue... I do think it's an idea that is really worth pursuing.

I went out to the land yesterday. It really does not feel like you're surrounded. All of the buildings are facing their backs to this land... I could see there being concerned with people cutting through parking lots... There's a lot of things that really do concern me about. I would not want an RFP to go forward that was super residential focused.

I remember Council members Staunton saying. This will be really good for the property owners of e dina because it's a way we'll be able to keep taxes low. And the problem is as we've added buildings, density... why did we do this? It's seven stories high and it was zoned for four and two stories... And then I said, but we tifted and he nearly fell off his chair... we keep tipping multifamily.

I think to me that those are the what we want to call next steps or whatever appraise the property. And we want to frame in RFP. And then the content of what's in there, right? We could discuss that general in general.
