“Okay. Are we going to have one class a day, two class a day, three class a day? And as a town manager is indicating, it gets expensive, whether it be $150,000. or 300 a class, so we have to be cognizant of that. So I think we all need to consider, think about it. And the good news is we can change it. In the beginning, we may offer two classes a day, and that might be sufficient. Or it may not be sufficient, but we have to be cognizant of our expenses. So I think everyone needs to look at this. And the same thing with what we need to think about is staffing. The town manager and I have had…”

I Trainer in there because I mean these expenses are adding up. That's a another million dollars to our budget Which the town manager…”

“All he's saying, all the town managers are saying, and it's not discussing it now, is just consider, everyone consider, put your thinking caps on, consider what we want for programming for the gym, for the wellness center. And again, we could start slowly, okay? But I could tell you right now, we can't, one second, we can't afford someone in there and then have trainers in there and pay for trainers. It's just not going to work in our budget with the proposed changes.”
