“Darren, my question's pretty simple. I think most have been covered, but I think if you could just... Touch upon two points. One is, obviously you've got experience permitting this facility, so what would be your expectation, assuming we sign the lease tomorrow, in terms of a permitting timeline for this kind of a facility, the build, so we could actually get a sense of when we would be starting to jointly cash flow?”

“I live in the world of permitting. It's not going to hold you to it. I just want to get a sense of what you realistically would expect.”

“We would not be approving it. It would be the county. So we'd be working with our partner there as well. Yeah. It's a six-month bill then? Yeah. Okay, so 24 months roughly, soup to nuts.”

“And then if I could just ask, you mentioned something that's of interest to me. You'd said, again, BTG Pact will global alternatives as your financial backer. Yes. Can you share the range of their capital investment in your company?”

“Okay. Again, I think that speaks to your ability to proceed quickly.”

“So then, yeah, I'm sure their balance sheet's a lot bigger than that.”

“So potentially we'd have recourse to a company that's actually, you said you have $100 million of operating revenues today? I thought that you said at one point.”
City Commission · Jul 21, 2026

“Okay. So you've got your, it's a going concern. We'd be contracting with not. Yes. A new builder. Okay. And then I guess you said the, the lease could be bankable. So can you, can you tease that out for myself and the benefit of the board, but I can't represent that it would be bankable.”
City Commission · Jul 21, 2026

“So potentially you're saying we could, if your projected gross revenue is over 50 years, with all the extensions, it's $80 million, we could try to borrow against this lease to address any other issues or needs that we have?”
City Commission · Jul 21, 2026

“Yeah, I'd love to see a model, and if you could make some assumptions about, you know, how quickly, so we're not going to get to 750 tons the first month, are we going to grow the business so we can understand how that number grows over time? Obviously, we've got the minimum floor with the lease, but I would like to see how our revenues would grow.”
City Commission · Jul 21, 2026

“Certainly, I'd love to see us get to the $1,250, right?”

“Any further questions? Okay. Thank you very much. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Appreciate everybody. Colleagues, any other questions or direction you want to give to the manager and his team? Nope. Just looking.”

“Do we want them to, I mean, do we want them to vet both options, one option? Is there, what's your, is there, is there any reticence about pursuing or exploring both?”
City Commission · Jul 21, 2026

“I think we have those now because I do... I didn't have that. It just came in today. That's why. So that I believe that both UDP and now Insoftel have given us kind of an outline of what the basic economic terms of their deal are. But I think a lot of the questions that you asked have not been as of yet vetted. So we certainly want staff to delve into those.”
