“I will second that, but if I can make a friendly amendment to it, there's a parking lot that I've been meaning to ask staff about, the parking lot right next to the post office. And not sure what happened, but it was recently overlaid and striped, looked beautiful. Now there's weeds coming up through it because it was gated off, like chained off and Not used for like months.

“NEW SPEAKER I JUST HAVE A REAL JUST MOSTLY OUT OF MY CURIOSITY. I THINK PD HAS EXPLAINED IT BEFORE BUT FOR MY MEMORY AND FOR THE PUBLIC. SO WHEN SOMEONE'S LOCATED UTILIZING A DEPLOYED DRONE THAT IS LAUNCHING ILLEGAL FIREWORKS, HOW DOES THE CITATION WORK FROM THERE? WHAT'S THE PROCESS?”

“NEW SPEAKER THANK YOU. COUNSELOR EVANS. NEW SPEAKER THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU, STAFF. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF COMPETING PRIORITIES ON THIS. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU BALANCE IT ALL AND, YOU KNOW, Council members, we hear a lot from our constituents on this issue. It's a very important issue. So I really appreciate your focus on this. I know there was some talk not long ago about, you know, us trying to catch up budget wise to not budget wise, catch up to the funds that we have. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO CATCH UP TO THE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. SO I'M…”

“Thank you. that we have a plan and that we are in contact. I mean, the county needs to pay their share, whatever that is. So I'd like to know that we have that plan at least in place in the communications happening, as well as with any other stakeholders that need to contribute, which I believe sounds to me like It's a rational statement to say they should contribute something. As that particular, and there's, again, a lot of priorities here, but that particular airport, our municipal airport, we're getting more and more of a focus out there, aerobatic competitions and different things, and…”

“thank you anything else from council customer happens hey mayor i guess i'll just i'll add in i do like the idea of getting categorical with the numbers and understanding what the cost is overall of repairing the very poor failed poor at risk and that would be the three categories i guess so I would like to know, I don't see us attacking the problem that way, but I do think there's some value to knowing what the value of each of those is for us to formulate an attack plan on this. But also, as with the example I gave earlier, I would like some comfort level. If there's any exterior roads that…”

“There aren't. I don't know if there are. I guess that's my question or my proposition to staff is let's take a look at that if we haven't already and assess that and if there are opportunities there let's incorporate that as a cost savings potential cost savings.”

“Thank you. I'll pick up, I guess, where Council Member Nygaard left off. I am curious about option 3, and I just want to be sure I understand. Option 3 alone, if implemented, does that put us in compliance with the state mandates?”

“So, okay, so it states may offer cost savings, but then it also states EV infrastructure funding must be provided by the city. So what is the cost?”

“Okay. So I'm being asked, I believe we're being asked to select an implementation option, correct? Correct. So I need to know what the cost is going to be before I can make a determination on that option. That option will be available once the IGA is completed. Okay. And when is that again?”

“I understand. Okay. So it sounds like we have two kind of open items so far that, at least from what I'm hearing, that we're going to need. I will need to understand that information and the data to move forward with that because it sounds like a great option, but there's a big question mark on that cost, so.”

“Councillor Evans. Thank you, Mayor. So my two top priorities have always been public safety first and cost of living for our residents is a close second. As was noted earlier by Mayor Pro Tem, we have a PD substation that we've allocated funds for and multiple fire stations that we need to rebuild. THAT I'VE HAD ALLOCATED FUNDS AS WELL AND I INTEND TO PROTECT THOSE FUNDS WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING. FROM THERE IT'S ROADWAYS AS WE DISCUSSED EARLIER AND PARKS, ET CETERA. I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A STATE COMPLIANCE MANDATE AND I WANT TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE. But we have funds that we need to…”
