“We said, because it was one day prior, we said if they don't grant, drop it. That's what we said. If they grant it, let's go get estimates, get real numbers, and then we'll make a decision.”

“Because I talked to the inspector, and it wasn't as serious as it was. in the council meeting as it was relayed to us. There's no extensive termite damage upstairs. There were pellets. That's why he recommended a tent because there was evidence of WDO. But there was not, he did not see termite damage in the trusses where he saw the pellets. So let's not, we have to clear that up because that's what was said from the podium from our staff. That's not accurate. So that, that really makes it sound a lot worse. Oh yeah. It's all extensive termite damage up there, whatever, however it was said,…”

“Yeah. We know it's an old roof. We know there's all this. So I just want to, let's get a more realistic number, because obviously those estimates that we got from staff were not real. How do you go from, oh, this costs between $20,000 and $80,000? I think there's a number somewhere in between. There's many numbers somewhere in between, a real number.”

“And that was my concern with last meeting is the numbers were so far apart of reality. I don't have that answer. How do we go, it's going to cost $100,000, but we put $200,000 of contingency?”

“Let's get estimates, because that's what we do in the contract in construction. You get estimates, here's what it's actually going to cost.”

“Oh, yeah. But that's why we had an inspection already. There has been inspection. And I spoke with the inspector on the long train ride back from Florida League of Cities down there. And I went through the whole inspection report. prior to the last meeting. And that's why I was asking questions. Everything that was coming back to me did not add up to the conversation with the actual inspector. It was made to be bigger problems than what actually came from the inspector's mouth.”

“I'm not going after staff. Let me tell you. My point is the appraisal was done on the actual condition of the property. There's that. The inspection's done on the actual condition of the property. The numbers that came at us were not real numbers. You can't go from 100,000, between 100 and 400,000. I don't know if that's exactly the numbers that were said. But how can anybody make up a decision sitting up here with those kind of numbers? They don't mean anything. That's not real work. That's just, I can come up with those numbers in five minutes. We can get a roof an estimate there. I bet…”

“It's just good to see all the numbers when we make decisions up here. That's all I'm asking for. And I'm not blaming staff, obviously, or I would have said that. They're not qualified to do roof estimates. Kevin's not a roofing guy, right, Kevin? You don't do roofs? You don't do plumbing? You don't do electrical? That's not your wheelhouse. You're an engineer, right? So that's where I just want somebody to give me real numbers so we actually make sound decisions for the With our tax dollars, I mean, I didn't think that was too much to ask. All right, city attorney, is that all? That's all I…”

“Yeah, on that, I love the golf course. Love Bill. Great group of people. I mean, but at 70 years, I mean, we're essentially selling the golf course. None of us are going to be alive in 70 years.”

“We're selling the golf course, but not really. We're selling it through a lease. And so what are we getting out of revenue?”
