We have our website created and we want to go ahead and post that report...if there's any comments you have about the report and what you've seen you want it added just let me know.

So starting off with parcel one that already has sewer and water to it seems to make sense as far as I'm concerned.

I mean ultimately I I think that the city's in an advantage at selling parcel two if it if it does have sewer that's available to to to instead of making the developer put it in it I think it makes it more attractive.

I'm 100% on board that. That's I mean there's things that government does well and things that government doesn't do well and I don't know that we've we've got that expertise.

I think it's really well thought out community engagement strategy. And I I I don't know if there's anything else that we need to add. I think this gives the community multiple opportunities to participate...

I like that concept. I just for people that are going to look at this online, I don't know if there anybody's watching or not, but I know there's a few people out here, there's that big red line through the circle. That mean that doesn't mean it's a, you know, ixate or bad idea. That that red line represents a gas line utility uh that goes through that property.

Our recommendation which will come next week um with the storm water or with the utility study is an 8% increase that gets us sort of um on that path to um expense recovery which is our goal um for all of these funds.

When we look at the storm water fund...we include them in the bond issue and levy a tax to pay for them. There's no free ride. So, the taxpayers are paying for storm water utilities. And taxpayers and storm water utility customers are not the same people.

I just think step back and first construct the proforma on the premises that we're going to, you know, first collect storm water revenue equitably from all parcels that contribute. Number two, we're going to look at funding those capital assets over time with debt and if they're small cash, not everything has to be debt.

It's not anyone's fault here that the rate rates are in the condition of the funds financially where they're at. You know raising rates every year is far preferable to waiting two or three years then going 30%.

Any staff member, mayor or two councils wishing to add an item to an agenda must pursuant to the section shall do so by following the uh by by doing the procedure here 11 days basically before council but it goes to a work session.

Staff can add something to the agenda that or make a change agenda the day of the meeting. It's an elected official. It can take anywhere from three weeks to seven weeks to get something on the agenda. That just seems completely mind-boggling to me.

I'm very sensitive to to setting something up where we have chaos like the city has experienced in the past, but I think we have to find more of a median, you know, than where we are now.

I think that provides a protection against a renegade council like Dragoich coming up and adding something to the agenda that no one's had any input on and trying to ram it through by jumping up on the desk and hollering and screaming.

What does a community want, if anything, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country?

I like the parade and I don't want to bring any It's always been like no businesses, no elected officials. I I like that that it just feels more normal. But what I do like and what I did like and what I did here is that the street dance last year in September, people really like that.

I contend we can celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary because it's all year long. It doesn't have to be Fourth of July.

I'm all about light that fire one night and let it let it burn and then put it out.

So, I do think this is something that that this the the residents do want.

I think we could find a few dollars to celebrate 250 years.
