“reformatting it? I said the mayor has asked for one for the last two years. It's okay. I'm always working to do better. So if it's going to work, the one that we have works for me. Because it doesn't matter. I'm going to answer it based on, and if I have to put it on a separate sheet of paper, I do that. If we can find one that will adequately do it, I'm all for it. I'm okay. It won't hurt.”

“Because I'm looking forward for them to find all this money that's on the table. Like, you know, they could be looking at contracts, different things like that. Okay, so that's October, November. I'm writing this down, so I'm going to ask again if I don't see it by then, just so you know. And then also... The cemetery budget for in this current, is that part of Parks and Rec or is there a?

“I just wanted to make sure that there's money for maintenance for the cemetery. To answer that question, it is. Okay, I'll go back and look again and find out. I went through a couple of hundred pages, but okay. Mm-hmm. And then there's one more thing. Oh, the designation, the historic designation of the cemetery. We have said over and over, the survey's been done, the property belongs to the city, Can we move forward with designating? I think it will open up some doors for some grant funding to help out with that, the historic part of it. So can we move forward with designating the cemetery?”

“Yes. Oh, yes. Yes, there is. Thank you. Thank you. And then lastly, the policy. is there a policy for i mean i have a cemetery booklet that tells people about this but however do we have a policy because people are being told different things so currently my understanding is that the cemetery plots that are available are not available for pre-sale and they are for delray residents only is that correct”

“See, that's the under, but I need, because people are being told different things. So do we have a policy so that we follow that policy and everybody is told the same thing?”

“I'm all for that. I'm all for, you know, ironing it out, doing due diligence so that we can move forward and everybody's on the same page. But I'm also for making sure that we're telling, that it's fair across the board and that we're telling everybody the same information. Of course. And if someone didn't call me and say, well, I was told this and then somebody else said, well, I don't know. Of course. You know, it needs to be the same.”

“So right now, people have to contact the city, right? They shouldn't have to contact the funeral homes because the funeral homes don't own the property. So they should contact the city and say, I need a plot. Do you have a plot available? And the answer should come from the city. You shouldn't have to go to the funeral home to say, oh, well, does the city have plots?”
City Commission · Sep 8, 2026

“Because we have pre-need plots and then we have... Because everybody will be in line to buy one. Yeah. I'll go buy one.”

“Yeah, well. The overtime was the only suggestions that I had, but my concern is that if we go with a rollback rate, is it?”

“My understanding is we voted on the maximum rate and that if we don't get a supermajority, it goes to the rollback rate. Is that correct?”

“No, I'm going back to my original question. So we need a supermajority to get to okay, and if we don't have that, it goes to the rollback rate, correct?”

“Okay, so knowing that if we don't come to a consensus on the rate, it goes to the rollback. So my concern is that, is that a sustainable under our financial circumstances that we have right now? And, you know, are we digging ourselves a bigger hole than we're already in? I mean, we're already saying that we're going to go 8.1 million for reserves at the suggested millage. If we go to the rollback, we're looking at a huger amount.”
