“As much as I really appreciate the whole country by our coalition, I believe they've gotten their grant for $2 million. I know that they have a cash flow problem. Perhaps we can sit down with them and solve that problem by not throwing county money at it. So I would propose to take that out.”

“I understand. I believe now they're getting their reimbursement turned around, and that was the problem, is that they had a cash flow problem submitting their receipts and not getting the reimbursement. So let's work on solving that problem and not just funding something that we don't need to.”

“While we wait for Jason, I do not want to ignore Judge Cahoon because I told her and gave her my word that I will help figure out what we need to do to have a permanent solution for District 4 in our justice system. So just remind me again, what did we say on space needs? Because she is correct. Those RFEs, Corinna, they were RFEs, right? Not RFQs? General Counsel, thank you. So we should have an idea of that number. So can we...”

“And I think I see it is that that's what we're trying to address right now, that district court. I'm not sure we need to go top to bottom throughout the county and inside out. And yeah, just, I mean, it comes down to, do we build a justice system here at our property near this complex? Yes. Or do we do it in the courthouse parking lot and have parking garage and offices? So, okay.”

“Well, I think there's some debate among the public on whether or not the county should be funding these at all. So we could look at each one of these. I'm not sure if that's going to add up to $251,000, $233,000. That's, I think, where we need to be. But rather than cut public safety and fire and jail and the clerk services that we need, I mean, cultural, because the county legally can, but should we be funding these? Just throwing this out there for discussion.”

“employee. I mean, we have to talk to the DA because she's that employee is already there. Stephen's already there. And then she'd have to absorb that. That's going to affect her numbers on her using her SB funds for employees. So maybe we don't touch that one. Could we get Donnell on the line?”
