“Okay, earlier, I think there was a question from Brandon regarding, it says here on the notes, in December of 23, $200,000 was allocated for hard and soft costs for repairs and upgrades. Then in September 24th, there was an allocation of another $150,000.”

“Okay, any other comments on this? If someone would like to make a motion, I feel like there just isn't enough information here. That's my gut. We would be approving $250,000 on top of $350,000 of repairs that were done recently, and I'll say recently in the last couple of years. and we don't know what the $250,000 is for. It seems premature to approve $250,000 and she hasn't gotten all the reports back. That's my opinion and my input. And now as chair, I'll leave it for a vote. Or if anybody would like to make a motion or modify a motion, fine.”
