“That's lower cost than staffing it in-house. No benefits, right?”

- Play at 1:20:17
“If we tried to get that done with in-house staff, it would cost us more, I believe, by staffing it and dealing with the benefits and all that other kind of stuff.”

- Play at 1:23:23
“And is there any additional maintenance we could do that would protect it for as long as it's serviceable life?”

“I support that. So let's give the mayor one, and let's give a budget to each commissioner to have a paid part-time or paid intern, because it seems like Gerardo is concerned about the mayor only having it. So let's each give ourselves one. Every other town I speak to. I got a phone call this week that said, I tried reaching the mayor's office. I said, you mean the mayor? There's no staff provided. Every other town. has staff to be, we're talking about, you know, people are complaining they haven't gotten responses. You've complained that we haven't responded to some of your emails. Do you…”

“And while, before the window of opportunity closes, I know we're looking for places to cut, but I do want to find room to fit in the launch, at least a soft launch and a small-scale rollout of the water taxi. I'm working with Miami Beach, and there will be an invite for the commission to have a tour where they're going to show us how the program works. They're actually operating during the week and closed on the weekend, and I think for our town it would actually be beneficial to offer it on weekends where people could utilize Saturday and Sunday as our soft rollout, and as we see usage there…”

“They're excited that we're expressing interest in tying into it and connecting. It provides alternate mode of transportation. It's utilizing an amenity, a natural resource that we have.”

“Switzerland, and there was a water taxi cutting across the lake in Geneva. It was beautiful, and I used it. I got videos there as well for the experience, but it was a nice way to use a natural resource and alternate mode of transportation, and I think it very much ties into tourism, so I intend on sharing more with our tourism board. Yeah, Phil.”

“They're just ballpark figures, and we'd be much lower than this, obviously, especially for a small scale. Miami Beach has two water taxis, two actual water vessels and staffing for that. And I believe it's five days a week right now. Their budget, they're running, it was about 1.2 for the city of Miami Beach. So we would be a fraction of that, tying and piggybacking. So we would save off all the study, all the research they did. They're ready to share all that. And their operator is ready to expand. So we would be able to benefit from not starting from the ground up and being able to have…”
