“Right, yeah, those are enterprise funds, the non-Avalon funds. Can you not hear me, sir? I'm sorry. Are the rest of y'all ladies in the back? Are any of you guys in the back? Please, when y'all can't hear us, and I tend to be the worst at this, I'll lean back from the microphone. If y'all can't hear me, please raise your hand. When I see you, I will gladly adjust. Okay, so... Discussion guidance for the city manager here. Do y'all want a seventh workshop? Do you feel like there's much beyond a couple of the CRA and perhaps an animal shelter presentation to kick around aside from the garbage…”

“Thank you. Basically, it's kind of one being in equals one being out over here. That one budgetary change would basically double our access funding in the general fund, the surplus, which isn't a lot. You're basically 151 versus 300K. That's what that would drive, differential. Okay. What is our collective? Commissioner Peebles, I can't see you to express your body language, but you got any thoughts or inputs here, sir?”

“I will ask, is there any other budget concerns, line items, expenses? that are of a particular concern to the rest of the Commission, any individual Commissioner that y'all want to bring up and have re-looked at over the next two weeks? Hearing none, then do we do a formal workshop, a seventh, where we plow this out outside? Because our time is short. We have to approve this by the end of the month, correct?”

“Acknowledged. city attorney can you weigh in there no that's correct we need to keep public comment to those issues related to the village okay so my guidance based on the mayor pro tem and the city attorney is for right now we have a two-part public hearing I'm going to have to request that your comments be held to the millage rate. I know it's all basically tied together, but it needs to be millage specific, otherwise we will be here all night.”
