“And this is no surprise to administration because I've been asking asking, asking, where's recreation? We can't just drop recreation. So no, they should not be alarmed. And going through pages right now, you should already have some sort of idea of where the money will come from.”

“That's what I was about to say. When you think about District 10 and the road, we have one road that's very imperative that we take care of, and it's gonna cost quite a bit of money. So let's find another curb.”

“Mayor, let me make something clear. These two recreation centers are in District 10, but they don't only serve as District 10. So I think it's very inconsiderate to say, don't pave a road in District 10. and take the money from District 10. These two recreation centers serve Lake City. Many of your constituents comes to Richardson Community Center. About this time of the evening, go right there. It's Lake City. So it's kind of, I take offense to that.”

“Okay, so the advisory board. And it's not the only responsibility in the funding. There'll be other responsibilities that will come with the advisory board, and we can talk about that later, right? So we're all agreed by the advisory board. Okay, so I'll agree to the 140. I'll agree to the 140. And I'll agree to Richardson with the 70, right? And the other 70, I'll agree for Annie Meadows. But I do want it in quarterly. Now Richardson has, like I say, they have a relationship with the city. They've redeemed themselves. So I want to see Annie Meadows working toward getting in that same space…”

“The reason I say that is because Annie Meadows have no programs going now. There's no organized programs going effectively. Maybe one. So this gives Annie Meadows, give them time to build this program fully. and let us see progress. Richardson pretty much had to do the same, not quarterly because we just didn't come up with it then, but they had to... You challenged them really because of a situation, right? So... This is not saying I don't trust them. I know all of them. It's not saying I don't trust them, but it's not about me. It's about the taxpayers' dollars, and we just want to see…”

“Let me say this. I did not mean show a receipt for every penny you spend. When I say progress, show progress, I'm concerned about the organized programs rather than whether you went to Walmart and spent $20. That's not what I'm saying. You said receipts. Help me with that. Is that what you meant? No. Wait.”

“Okay. When we say accountability... And I don't want to keep bringing up Richardson. Richardson, how many students enrolled? How much does it cost per student? Just say $400. $400 per student. We don't ask them to break down that $400. Well, lunch was $6. Breakfast was $12. That's not, no.”

“When we take our children, I'm sorry, Mayor. When we take our children to daycare, they give us a cost per child. And we don't know how much that breakfast costs. We don't know how much that tablet costs. that they use. We just know how much it was per child. So I want to see progress on these programs. That's what I'm, that's my baby.”
