15:18 – 15:47•Walter T. Richardson

A theologian by the name of Brian Holt Huber wrote a prayer about 100 years ago and it's become an international favorite and I think it's appropriate for this time that we consider this prayer. Join me. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change those things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

25:50•Mojdeh Khaghan

How accurate are the sales tax revenue estimates from the county historically?

26:18•Mojdeh Khaghan

But I'm just saying, like, historically, Mark, do we come under, over? No, there's always a pickup.

26:58•Mojdeh Khaghan

County up kind of use conservative numbers when they issue their estimates.

27:23•Mojdeh Khaghan

But there are two half-penny sales taxes. One is ours, one is transportation. That's correct. Yeah, so it's one penny.

27:46•Mojdeh Khaghan

Supplies, no? Is that where it is? Yeah.

27:54 – 28:13•Mojdeh Khaghan

I think I've lived the budgeting process long enough to know that there's – you know, some fluidity and variation. And then, you know, unfortunately, sometimes unexpected things, but generally inflationary numbers are just trending up and up. So, yeah, it's just part and parcel. Thank you.
