You said he was moving his family to Siouxland. Does that mean he's moving to Sioux City?
Within reason. Yes, within reason. Anything else?
So are the projects that are currently committed, are they subject to the 2% cap or because they're already closed in development, they're not subject to a cap?
So how are you blending the availability of DIG funds with tax deferral or other incentives for each project?
Some awareness. I think some awareness will be helpful.
I guess if you go back three or four slides, it outlines what they hope to have per year.
Question marks for me before we get to the stage of how you're gonna do it But I might be the only one so if the rest of them no, I think that's I think we all have the same questions I think we go through this very deliberate process and gather some more information and look to other sources look at other options I know there's considerable sensitivity to raising rates and
Very quickly. I know in the public works update we got last week. There was mention of the Big Sioux study. I Was visiting with some residents in South Dakota live in off in and off of McCook Lake They were talking about the study. Can I just get an update on a little more detail? We're not going to participate How does that affect the work that we've already committed to?
It won't impact that at all. Okay. Real quick comment on Arc Splash. It was a great event. I think because of the weather, their numbers were a little bit lighter than they would have liked. But Todd and his team, Summer, they do a great job. I think we need to encourage. Art Splash, I've offered to sit with Todd, and I know others would as well, to talk about through what they're seeing, what their vision is, and I look forward to that dialogue, but it was a good weekend. Did we resolve the issues for the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center and that Irish Crawl? There were some concerns…
I did, but I didn't understand the memo, because they talked about flexibility and changing some times. Did we get clarity on...
Okay, because when Andrea sent an email, I said, well, my understanding is that before we sign off on closing a street, we make sure that notices are provided and that we get, so, okay. It got worked out. Okay, very good. Quick comment. A good friend of mine has had some medical issues, Steve McFarlane. I just want to wish him the best, he and his wife Amy. I know others know them as well. And I want to wish Steve and his family the best in his recovery. And, Mayor, I'm as anxious to get out today because today is Yom Kippur. I've been fasting, and I am ready to eat dinner tonight.
Mary, I couldn't remember. I went to visit with Mary after our meeting and had a nice visit, so I'm glad things have changed.
Freddie is always there to help me because he knows it's always user error on my part. Move we adjourn. Second.
Did she ever find out what the reason for the two-hour delay was?
JJ, are you on the civil rights commission now?
I think both you and Christina bring a nice user perspective. Are there other applicants, Heidi? Not at this time and there's two there are two open spots, correct? Okay, you thank you guys.
Okay, thanks Vicky. We had a chance to review the materials that were in our packet, so you don't need to go through it literally line by line, but I think it would be helpful, especially for the public and for the media, to get a sense of what this phase of the scope of the project is. So if you could maybe address the primary components of what's being done. But the one question I do have, I know there is a recognition of odor control, and that has been an issue that councils, since the start of time, or at least since the start of our wastewater treatment facility have asked. So can you…
So are the demolition items part of phase one as well?
There's a pretty significant amount of demolition, correct?
Can you help understand? I know that part of the detail that you provided was that there's a claim for $219,000 or so. $65,000, $66,000 has been paid, leaving a balance of $155,000. Is that correct?
So there is an additional assessment? There is, yes.
Is there a disagreement as to whether the assessment is correct or whether it's owed? No, they understand that it's owed. They don't dispute the amount or the requirement? They don't.
So Jason, or I know you saw him sitting there. Can you just explain the breakdown? You're seeking an amount of $10,972,000. What amount will go to the zero or low emission units? And what amount will go to the facilities?
And what was the other question? And both with regard to the building and on the capital side, Mike, those funds are allocated in our capital budget?
And what's the window of... ordering and receiving the, the the bus itself?
