We are issuing an unmodified opinion on the city's financial statements. Uh, many refer to that as a clean opinion. Just it means that based on the work that we did, our team did, uh, we feel comfortable issuing or, um, saying that the financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

So we jointly built the facility with the county and the hockey association or whatever it's called men Rochester hockey. Uh we operate the facility. We the county currently pays all of the capital like and reinvestment in the facilities because they own the facilities. The city share does the operation.

If there's some way that we can have a dashboard where we can see how much uh levy support we're giving and how much uh how much uh fees that we're getting uh getting for that and if there's a a disparity there we that's where we're going to ask questions.

We we have been discussing the potential for a broader evaluation. I think, you know, we can we'll have more conversation with that in the council in the future. Certainly committed to doing that, too.

is whether or not um we want to continue to fund streets at the level that we had increased it to when we isolated the local government aid there, about $1.2 million. or it could be another amount if people aren't as comfortable with that. That would be increasing the levy beyond what is represented here.

So, I know this is happening all across the country there. you go to stores now and there's of al ofen a credit card fee. My question is we also don't take cash at many places now. So we're we're in this weird place where we're we've sort of pushed people into doing credit for a lot of things and now we're going to charge them more.

Yeah, I'll just provide feedback. I think this makes sense. I'm in favor of it, especially for these areas that have alternatives to that people could avoid the fee if they choose.

our road um health has been a significant concern of mine and I find myself uh agreeing with council member Palmer which he'll probably run from the room screaming because of this but I actually think um we have we have a huge citywide problem with local roads. They are in horrible repair. Milan Overlay in my opinion has not been working well at all.

Yeah. So so that that's my input that I would but as far as this partial and things like that I guess the other thing I'd want to throw into this most of the reconstruction we do is through uh the enterprise things the the assets under underground with be it storm sewer or water delivery or sewer. Um but right now we have an algorithm and a process that we share costs across those groups and it's sort of bothersome that public works takes the lion share of that because they have the you know finishing the road on top even though they're not generally the ones saying these are the roads that need to be reconstructed and I think there's some fairness there that we probably need to work out to be if if you're the one saying um this road needs to be reconstructed because we've had four water breaks in the last three years. You shouldn't just have the responsibility of paying for your water line. You should take more of the cost of driving this project.

I I largely agree with that and I would also point to the fact that we've had a conversation about our our trail networks and not having a sustainable funding source and I would like to look at this a bit more comprehensively of understanding how we're developing sustainables transportation funding sources for maintenance.

Really this is just an opportunity for you to say like one of these is, you know, the right idea at the right time. Maybe it's the right idea at the wrong time or maybe it's just the wrong idea all over, you know.

really just want to emphasize those continued Keith shared themes. Of course, affordability, community access, and flexibility, um opportunities for casual recreation, uh flexible scheduling, better communications around what we have were all themes that we heard in the four or so different efforts of outreach that we had on this topic.
