“Thank you, Mayor. I would like to add for future agenda, maybe in October, to revisit some areas of our parking ordinance that I think are not working or need to be slightly adjusted. One in particular has to do with parking on the roadway during business hours. We're having a big issue in District 4, and I would like to bring that to the board's attention and see if we can come up with some alternatives that make sense. So I'd like to, and I believe there was also some things that we were gonna get updates about, about some roads that, what we were gonna do and what future plans were as far…”

“I mean, as long as you don't get another commission in 10 years that wants to do something different. So, I mean, to say it's in perpetuity, it's not something that we can, if a future commission has five votes and changes it, so I just want to make that clear. It's something that we're making clear that we... sitting up here as the five of us are not going to do that, but that doesn't, we have no control over what somebody's gonna do in 20 years. So I just wanna make that clear that we can say in perpetuity all we want, but it takes five votes and we vote.”

“One quick thing, we did this with Boynton Forest and I would like to do it. We started on this parcel doing studies and feasibility studies, environmental studies. Just like we did with Boynton Forest and we really pushed to do those environmental studies, I would like to do the same thing so that we know you know, we're talking about, you know, future, if we do parks, we need to know what is under that land. I mean, it could be sitting on a brownfield that is full of chemicals and all that stuff, and so I just would like to do just like we have with Boynton Forest and other lands that we've…”

“Really quick, City Manager, can you just explain to the public, because we have a lot of people in the audience that were here at the last meeting that don't normally come to our budget meetings and don't really understand also what an enterprise fund is and that we're only taking in what we actually need. Can you just very briefly explain, or somebody explain to the audience, the utility fund is not trying to make money, I guess. That's a comment that I've heard, and that's not how an enterprise fund works.”

“I have a question, thank you. Alan, with regard to, so you just mentioned fund balance, so the thought and the plan is by decreasing the millage rate again, that money will come from fund balance to make up that difference. So that means every year, and then we're looking at potentially with November 3rd, I mean, we're gonna run out of fund balance if every year we fund balance the difference of this utility increase. So I'm concerned with decreasing the millage and using fund balance to make up the difference Our fund balance is our savings account. That's our rainy day. That's our hurricane…”

“Yeah, I don't disagree with you. My only issue is this is the first time I'm hearing about this too. So it's a little frustrating that I feel like some people have been more educated than others when it comes to this village decrease. And so I'm just now learning about this and what the plan is in the future. And so, Vice Mayor, I respect your sentiment. I don't disagree with we should look at ways that I just, without having spoken to staff until right now I have concerns with I don't even know what I mean I know that we've been doing a great job with increasing our fund balance but I feel…”

“Right. This is the first time we're having this conversation, so I need to ask the questions for myself so that when a resident asks me why we're doing X, Y, and Z, I have an explanation from staff and that we can educate the public. I don't disagree that any time we can save money and decrease the millage because we know that by decreasing the millage, we're increasing our outlook for companies and other people to come to our city. So I don't disagree that we need to do that. I just want to make sure that we're being responsible when we make those moves. So those are my comments.”

“I'm confused. Maybe you're just as confused. There's multiple applicants and positions available. Yeah, historic resource. Right. There's another regular. And also the library board, there's another applicant and there's other positions open. So we skipped over. We just did the ones that were tabled and not the other ones.”

“Do you want to do, well, Chief, since you're up here, I know we've had a lot of discussions. I know that you've implemented some policy. I just wanted you to briefly just kind of go over some of the things that have been discussed and that you've done based on some of the conversations at the previous meeting. in particular around data and I know there'll be a presentation on next steps and what options are and what's out there and what your feelings are. I feel like, I mean it was said by somebody from the public, but I feel like we were kind of led to believe one way and I think doing a…”

“Great. On the sharing, one thing that I would like an answer to when you do the presentation is is if anyone that we share to, if we can restrict or prohibit them from sharing. So because what happens is once we share that data with another agency and they have open sharing, then our data is now being shared across the web to whoever. And so I want to know if that is possible when when we do share, let's say we just shared in the Tri-County area or whatever we were, I know you and I have spoken about that, but then not allowing whoever we shared it with to be able to share it again and that…”

“Well, I think it doesn't, I think it says it's sold out on social media too. That's the phrase that's used. So maybe we need to update that to just saying, you know,”

“I think I have $75 left. Can we just can you just do a form that that goes to to the Friends of the Library for the baskets and then Dan can we get together this next week about the holiday baskets because now we're kind of an influx in the department that you shifted that to from the clerk's office. So I just want to make sure that doesn't fall through the cracks. And if we need to get like the chamber or somebody to partner with us to make sure that happens, I want to make sure it doesn't, that it happens.”

“Andrew? Yes. So I apparently after... after the last meeting and talking to staff, it doesn't sound like there, or it wasn't clear. I thought there was consensus, but it wasn't clear that there was any sort of consensus on in the meantime, until we can have that flock discussion, what we can do as far as, you know, either suspending it or restricting it or doing something in the meantime, because I feel like we're kind of an open, like it's kind of, which is something I had mentioned, and I know even Vice Mayor Turkin mentioned it, and then everyone was kind of like, yes, let's, but I guess…”

“10B? No, it can be at the end of regular agenda. That's fine. It doesn't, I mean, it should be, I mean, it's just a matter of having consensus on what the current status of our flock system will be until we are able to have a more in-depth conversation about the whole risk analysis and what's going on. Because I thought that that was something I wanted us to do. And I thought that there was enough people that were in agreement, but I guess it wasn't clear. So... So I would like to talk about that.”

“Well, I think it's a heavy meeting for that conversation. Yeah. I mean, based on the conversation we had at the last meeting, I think it's going to be more in-depth than something we want to just throw on. So I, and even talking with Stacey, I feel like it's going to be an in-depth conversation where we're going to have, you know, decisions to make. But in the meantime, you know, even just if we did like a, I know that there was the option to just, not use it, but still pay for flock as though we were using it, which as it's on a temporary basis, that's something I would be in agreement to…”

“Well, I mean, as long as we're, I mean, if what the chief is saying is, you know, and I have no reason to doubt what he's saying is accurate, is that none of the information that we're, the cameras are still collecting are going anywhere, and they're not being utilized for anything, then I'm, you know, then that's just, that's an update we didn't have yet. Okay, so let's...”

“Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. I did want to ask if we could move up the proclamation to 2B before we get into the budget, just because I don't know how long those discussion items are going to take, and so I'd rather move that up if we could.”
