Thank you. I have a few more questions for you, Tim. Also I need to let the public know that there's a term called shading and that's when you have a trench, you dig up all the broken rock, granite, and you're supposed to create a bed for the pipe. Until recently we allowed the developers to use plastic PVC pipes which are as water mains which are under pressure and all of our subdivisions are full of those plastic pipes and Unfortunately, the shading wasn't properly done and I don't know what happened to the city inspection the city was supposed to inspect these trenches and And…
So you're telling me that plastic's gonna last just as long as ductile iron?
The pipe for the raw sewage that's heading north, is that also going to be plastic?

And this is like for what, 30% design or is this going to go to 60?
So which percentage are we at with this contract?
I just am uncomfortable. I really think that, you know, we have our city contract and then we have an exhibit A, which is FAN, put in their stipulations. And I really seem to think that we need to add some of our own exhibits explaining in detail what the Kimley Horn design is, their elevations, have maps, and also just Kimley Horn design and what to see is what we're talking about because this is all, this is now when we should be designing rather than when it's at sixty or a hundred percent going back and having all these change orders saying oops you know this isn't going to work you know…
Thank you. Any comments from Council? Jay?

So I'd like to move that we postpone till the next city council meeting. Do you think two weeks is enough?
We just postponed it for another two weeks to review the public input and addressed council concerns about whether or not we should include 2C to be crystal clear as to what exactly it is we're designing. So I'd like to move that we postpone this for two weeks and as council has directed, and bring it back with the amendments that are recommended. I second that. Thank you. Please vote.
I have a question. Are you planning on any seating above the bucking chutes? Because I've been to other rodeo grounds where they have seating right above the bucking chutes so people can see the cowboys as they get on the animals.
I'd also like to add that archaeological studies are very expensive. And my impression from the Native Americans is the less the ground is disturbed, the better. And so I don't think we're going to go dig up the whole site looking for trouble. If we need to put in a trench from A to B, and we come across something, then we can study, you know, that area. But there's absolutely no rationale for us to look at the whole site. The less disturbance is the better. More respectful, I think. Thank you.

So what's the seating capacity going to end up as?
Let me ask you this. When the cowboys come with their horses and their trailers and they have RVs where they stay, are they going to have hookups?
Are we going to provide a pump out for them?
Okay. Just a question about convenience. Okay. Mary?
Yes, we want to keep everything as multi-use as we can, as flexible as we can. Okay, well let's go to public comment. I see the rodeo people back there. Carter Labarge. Oh, Carter. We just need to get you up here on council. You need to run.
Thanks for all your hard work making our fair such a success.
No, I think that explains it pretty well.
Well thank you, we've got a lot of input here and I would like to thank our consultants. We appreciate all the hard work you did and also it was fun the way you embedded yourselves in the community and got to know us. So with no more comments, this meeting is adjourned. Sorry, one more.
