The only choice after next year is to either be on your own or to be in the consolidated pool. And I would just recommend that you not go back to the way we used to do it, which is an entitlement community. And just for the administrative reasons alone and for that small of amount of money, it just didn't make a whole lot of sense.

And then just an aside, I don't know if anybody saw 60 minutes last night, but it was um add it on for a minute. There was a story about about um 3D printing. Oh yeah. And it was 3D printing houses and they're talking about 3D printing houses on Mars. But they're also talk, you know, I mean, if we fundamentally change our world view on what housing construction is because the big thing with new housing is that it's so darned expensive and it's not getting cheaper as we we demonstrated in a couple examples um in our city.

I'm wondering about I talk about this a lot too, but um for new businesses coming um in our city, are we reaching out or canvasing? Um, and I know you have the Thrive and all of that, but I ran into a resident in a grocery store, Somalian woman who, you know, I was just talking to her and she was in you're talking about business and we she said, you know, Kizzy, I'm I'm cooking out my house, my apartment, and I'm selling food plates from my apartment building because, you know, I haven't been able to um connect with your city with doing business.

I think it would be one like I'm thinking about transparency and communicating with residents. Um, and would it would be helpful if we had sort of a document or web page or something that like went through this like the B like glossery of terms. What is capital? What is a CIP? What is an EIP? and then an explanation of how you get from CIP and EIP to budget.

There's there's one in particular that seems especially relevant after events of this week and that is the drones as first responders because I know that they sent drones into Melissa Hortman's house and um to no avail unfortunately but I I think I think we just had a demonstration of a situation that was fluid and extremely dangerous with someone that was armed and dangerous and that it just seems so timely that that was something that came up um for us to consider and um I still have reservations about it, but I also always understood the value.

So, really what it does is takes our current program and enhances it to just it's it's faster response. Um again, it has it it you know the we're very cognizant of surveillance. It's it's really in response to certain crime and getting there very quickly and really helping responding officers um know what they're getting into.
