“Thank you, Chair. So just what I don't see here is the million dollars that were required to budget with the county agreement that we have for the sand and the additional millions that we're going to need in case the county doesn't come through like they didn't last year for the sand dunes and the beach protection.”

“So I think, but we all agreed that we were going to split that money a certain way between those two areas. The CRA board did? Well, we did it as the CRA board. It was the CRA that was selling the property, even though the city did own a small portion or part of that property.”

“Right, but we did pass a resolution on how that money was going to be split. Because I'm not familiar with that. The CRA board did, and they were talking to the city manager at the time, but the CRA board did pass a resolution on what the split of those funds were going to be. And it was between those two communities.”

And then we were going to pick up the additional $5 million through this bond. It's probably still going to be short the money they need, but we can do that in the design. We can just back into the number. But you're going to need the full $8 million. I know that the city manager's office had signage and other things they wanted to do there as well. but I think the plan that George…”

“But it's my understanding the boardwalk may have changed. No, we were told that the boardwalk was coming and was going to be in, I didn't know where, I didn't know what was going to be done to a bond. But the former city manager said that he had that money coming for us. I didn't know where he was taking it from. But now I see that it's part of this bond, which would make sense.”
