“Yeah, I just have one more. So I also thought that we have a really full agenda tonight. And so I think in order for us to really do our due diligence, it would be best to move it to the next meeting so that we've got time to think about things and prepare. So I'm in favor of this.

“But, but I would, if we're just talking about a minimal amount, a hundred thousand dollars, cause I think we've got, I don't know, four and a half million, 5 million in our stormwater fund that, that grows. Um, so rather than doing a car tab for a hundred thousand dollars a year, just maybe a hundred thousand from the stormwater fund, because I know we built in some contingencies for, for some of those projects and just, I'm just talking out loud.”
