“Thank you, Mayor. Well, if you wait till toward the end, a lot of your stuff gets covered. So I was going to mention, you know, Carrie Schulstad. So we wish her well and are looking forward to seeing what she's going to be doing. Also, I was on the CAG group on the GP mill cleanup. A lot of same comments that you had, but I did want to point out that they did indicate that there will be no more demolition this calendar year, just if anybody's looking for that. And their last outreach event for this calendar year will be Friday at Canvas Days. So if you're looking for information on that, you…”

“and i suspect within another couple years we will be right at or above this number so i'm very happy with where we're at with volunteers and the direction that we're going uh yeah go ahead you should never tell me i can interrupt in the middle of a presentation um let me go back to that yeah no so all of these graphs are representative of what you put in right that's right and so it could be a little different um depending um also we're not comparing apples to apples right we're not comparing um our similar population to other populations these are across the state is that correct too so…”

“Thank you. And thank you, Chris. So deferred maintenance is upsetting to me that we keep buying more property. I mean, the city keeps buying more and we can't take care of it. So is it an issue of not deferred maintenance, but when you keep buying more property, we're never going to catch up? So do we own too much property? Do we need to look at what we own and look at what we can maintain?”

“If I may say one thing, I'm sad to hear that Oaks Park has been closed for seven months. I know that services a lot of our citizens.”

“Thank you, Mayor. And thank you, Kayla. I've just been reeling through this whole process of this presentation. So forgive me if I'm all over the board. Let's be clear that these are all projections, right? Yes. And one of the most alarming things I've heard is this can be managed through policy levers. And then the next slide. is increasing utility tax. So when the utility tax was established, it was supposed to go away, and it didn't. And Vancouver's at 29% now. I was afraid of this. We're going to keep creeping up. And as Council Member Szilard said, oh, 1% isn't going to do us anything.…”

“who wants to go next i'm happy to go next go ahead thank you mayor council members thank you mayor um thank you for opening things up maryland so um this was brought to council in 2018 and council decided not to put it to a vote to people um And I don't ever want to say it's wrong to put a two vote to people, but then you look at the cool bond and that was a mistake. I don't think this is the right time. I think people are happy with our form of government. I think it would be a mistake to bring this to folks when they've got other things on their mind and they're happy with their government…”

“Thank you, Mayor. You know, you guys talk about 10 people coming to your town halls. Just by virtue of what I do, I talk to 30 people a day. So I have a finger on the pulse, in my opinion. I could be wrong, but from what I've learned, people do not want to change the form of government. I am in favor of going forward and saying yay or nay and moving forward. And I think what... Councilmember Burke was saying, well, maybe say we're doing it or not before you go to a town hall, because then people may be more apt to participate. So whether we go or not, let's do it or don't. And I would like to…”

“Thank you, Mayor. I think I've been clear on my position. However, if if the majority of council does want to go through tent halls and whatnot prior to making a decision, why wouldn't we have this on the November ballot where we're going to get a higher turnout and not cost taxpayers more money to have a special election?”
