“Okay. Were you there? Okay. So we, the, the motion is withdrawn. Now we, um, we, we are not an informal debate unless somebody makes the motion. We could adjourn, but somebody would make a motion. Hey, I'll pass the GAVA. I'll make a motion that we set it at 4%. How about that? Because we could put the FEMA money into the budget, and we'll have even more than we would have under the 4.6. And so the taxpayers could have an even lower tax rate.”

“Okay, so we have a motion from the vice mayor to adopt the 4.6 rate, but without any of the six reasonable conditions that were to be imposed before. And we have a second from Commissioner Butler. Any discussion?”
Town Commission · Sep 3, 2026
- Play at 1:33:17
“So are you just putting the six conditions back in, or are you just saying that it's okay? I don't do the same motion. Because it's the same motion. That's the same motion.”

“Okay, but we, right now, I think that we have to, so what?”
Town Commission · Sep 3, 2026
- Play at 1:33:43
“Okay, so we could consider it at 4.6 because we have a motion that is different from the last motion for 4.6. The motion now is just to pass it at 4.6 with no conditions whatsoever, which is a different motion from the first one, which had some conditions. So are you amenable to that? There's no conditions whatsoever, it's just 4.6.”
