And I don't see nobody raising their hand. So, Erin, it's up to you.

Vice Mayor Solution. Yes. Public comment. He did that earlier. No, he didn't. We did public comment, didn't we? He did earlier. Did I miss that? Okay. My fault. Were you sleeping?

Next, we have the city clerk. Welcome, deputy city clerk.

How about the city attorney? Nothing for the group.

Okay, council, anybody have any new business? Yes, Dana.

If I'm not mistaken, we're talking. If I'm not mistaken, Christine, it's coming back up in November, correct? December. so it was already brought up twice and knocked down so I mean what's the limitations on something like that well there is no limitation if

Okay. So I think you continued it, right? I continued it?

okay so we have people in orange city that want to at least hear the presentation okay yeah okay so i'll make the motion to hear the presentation for the fire assessment

Right, well, this way, because, you know, whether you go online and whatever social media, The general public is not getting the full picture of this. Like I said the last time, I attended the one-hour presentation by the Volusia League of Cities, who mapped it all out. I'll just leave it there, but this way the citizens can actually understand the whole realm of what's going on with this. Now, that being said, I mean, we may, I mean, depending on what happens in November, you know, if this tax thing passes or doesn't pass, you know, with 60% of the vote, I mean, that'll determine a lot of dif

Right, so that the general public could hear the presentation.

There you go. There's a motion and a second. Is there anybody in the audience that would like to speak on this, on that fire assessment thing? Come on up.

Thank you. Thank you. Anybody else like to speak on this? Seeing none, I'll bring it back, Erin.

Now, how will this affect what's gonna happen in December?

And after she gives a presentation, we'll have to do some type of motion of voting? Is that my understanding?

So this way, the people that designed it will give their presentation. The general public, whether they're here or on YouTube, will know exactly what it's all about, and then we'll get people's opinion. Okay.

Well, this is going to be for the following year anyway. It's too late to do anything right now.

Well, I think that's the way we want it to be.

Once they give their presentation, you want the people up here to say yes, bring it back, or no, squash it.

I make a motion to reopen the motion. Second. Okay. All right. We got to call a roll. All right, by and by. Sorry, you got to play by the rules. Yeah, no, I want to be 100% legit. Council Member Knight? Yes. Council Member Stafford?

Yes. So now I'm going to make another motion.

Okay. So I'd like to make a motion for presentation and action according to Robert's rules. And a second. For the fire assessment. And we have a second. Thank you. Do we still need a vote of everybody?

Erin. You running out of room over there? Yes.

approval of the minutes we've already done that anything from the council or the vice mayor's comments any reports anything Not bad. Okay. All I need a motion for is an adjournment. Make a motion to adjourn. All right. All in favor? Aye. I've also had neighbors ask me, how come you didn't hear the presentation? That's what I just want to do, hear the presentation.
