council council budget didn't move over to 100. Yeah, everything did. Everything is cool. It's just an additional was subtracted. An additional was subtracted from addition. It's moved over. We It just doesn't show. No, it's No, it's right. It's We'll talk afterwards. It's right. It's good. Thank you. All right. Yeah. It don't show up. Council Romanto. Thank you, President Piagua. I have items 49 through 53 and all of them are ready. Excellent. Okay. And then uh

Oh, go ahead. Joe Barry, um item number 52, I just wanted to mention to the council we have an updated version that'll be distributed at 1:00. We just had to make some technical amendments to make sure it conforms with MUN code when it's um codified because it's a permanent general ordinance. And then um while I'm here, I think councelor Majoke for executive session, you wanted legal advice on the RFP process as well. So we just have to note that going into executive session. Excellent. Thank you. Thank you.

Okay. So the the only thing left in our agenda is to introduce but that's in our um next meeting, right? But um the waiverss. Yeah. Okay. They still um Oh, you know what? Well, I introduced that at the study session. Are these not my items? Yeah, it is. And and you let us know is it ready or not? Okay. So, Madam President, I believe that these are all correct and ready as long as there are no questions from my fellows. Excellent. Okay. Thank you. I wasn't sure who it belonged to. Yeah. Sorry about that. Any questions? No. Okay. Thank you.

I have a question that's not anything on the agenda and I don't know um maybe you, Deputy Mayor, can answer this question. I've been getting phone calls about the solar energy and I'm confused.

Good afternoon, councelors. Michael Collins, Commissioner for Neighborhood Business Development. Uh, so the solar energy program uh that was uh that's with National Grid that we had the recent mailing on, is that the one that you're asking about? Uh same as with National Grid though, it's supposed to be a credit to National Grid. It's you're you're correct. I I said that ineloquently. The uh for people that sign up for it, there is an uh up to 10% credit unless they are uh income eligible, then it could be up to 20% credit on their national grid bill if they so choose to sign up.

Here here's my question. I got a letter. I did sign up and I got a letter saying there's a $90 fee and that 10% would be subtracted. So then the fee is $100 then there's a $90 fee and so I would see a 10 per $10 savings but really I'm paying $90. That's conf the letter is very confusing and a lot of people in my neighborhood are asking the same question like the letter from the mayor's office said there was no fee but the letter we got from the solar company says there's a $90 fee. So that doesn't jive with the letter that I got. So um if you could supply me with a copy of the letter and we'll look into it and get an answer for you. Be very happy to do that. Okay.

My question dovetales. Was it a fee onetime fee or was it a subscription fee? It's a subscription. Somebody told me about a subscription fee as well was I when I was petitioning this weekend. Okay. Yeah. So if you just share that with me and and I'll send it to you. Yeah. It'd be happy to look into it for you. Okay. Definitely. and commissioner, what is the city's um community benefit for this? Like I'm not I'm I'm confused at why we sent it out.

So the um I can get you those answers. Um that although that ran through our department, the when we get into the details, the person who u was uh largely uh doing that work and got all the information is out sick today. So, just give me give me a day or two to have that person get back to back to the office and I can get you the information. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Anything else? Anybody want to bring anything else up? A motion for second. Second. Okay. So, a motion for executive session. So, moved. And

clarify for the tax settlement and legal advice for the tax setment and legal advice. in the RFP to agenda credit. All in favor for every $1. Okay.
