“I'm in for that as well. I don't think they've heard this discussion and the reasons why we're talking about doing it. I mean, it would have been better if there was a joint meeting and they actually showed up. I mean, it's like it's two different silos. They have to be in their own world. This was noticed. This is on the agenda, discussion of possible action. You're the only member here.”

“I mean, my opinion of it, because of Sunshine, I would prefer that all five of us were together getting the information at the same time to even then discuss if it's legal. I mean, I would think that this type of thing is allowed. We're allowed to have, like, an administrative meeting on this, right? Which...”

“That's all right wherever I mean somewhere in the village Sure, yeah as long as it's publicly noticed however you want to make it a workshop I believe I think for where we're headed as a council and that it is publicly noticed that other I you know, other people moving forward so they understand the borrowing process or us taking out these loans and how it's going to work. I think all of us need to... Okay. I don't, just like the other stuff, it just means that it's noticed there's going to be minutes from it. I'm not saying that I need an audience.”

“It is because of sunshine, I just don't want any... that I prefer this type of discussion like we had tonight with these three items that all five of us are here. And I think that's the same thing with this information, especially coming to finance. We just have to, and what's coming down the pipe for us budget-wise and then in the future, that this will be the first for all of us to get this type of advice at all.”

“I'm talking about... Well, there's some of that. I mean, just for simple overlay, even for the residents, the difference between the revenue on a desk and then the geo bond, which is going to be the parks probably. Okay. So it does... Even in that one, it's kind of I've been in meetings where cart before the horse, I'd rather both of them be addressed. The main focus is actually the first one would be the golf course. And if the election, in the election in April, it's immediate following it. I mean, they're both pretty close. If the residents do what the residents do, and then us as a…”

“What? I think we should definitely have them in the same meeting. I think the attorney is just advising a municipality on the bond.”

“All right. I think it's necessary from the feedback I've got from my constituents of what does that, especially what the state's doing for tax relief, and then this would be, obviously if we do a GEO, it's going to be run through property. So it's just getting that education on that and what we're looking at. The sooner the better, I think.”

“From what the residents are asking me for passing and what we did and we approved the master plan is that the council keeps moving forward with that. Again, for us in the special election for that one, I'll just give you, since we're talking about timelines, On the golf course side of it, the property itself is way overdue for the golf course portion of it. In my research for it, the building is in dire need also. But it's also, when you saw the NGF thing, the total bill was $31 million. The numbers so far coming back from Golf Enterprise Fund are what Kemper bid on and what they're coming…”

“basic overview and education yes that's what we need first yes I need that but it's gonna be but it's also good for that one that the real world thing is exactly what I'm talking about right now and and realistically on numbers and timelines and and the the golf course taking it on and you've in budget discussion tomorrow night or whatever we're doing that the difference between the structure of that and you see that are we're gonna have to explain to the residents why the budget looks so big the The dollar amount we're basing that off of is almost $8 million and then going up. But it's also…”

“I understand, but I mean, it's also, we have sunshine and all the information I just gave you, did you know that that was a range? You should be wrapping your mind about what we have to spend in the village to get what we want. And we're going to have to borrow. That's my point to bringing this up. It's just stuff to think about now. I mean, it could be an emergency one also, Jesse. That's my point to this. I get what you're saying. You want to get educated on this.”

“No, I'm just trying to put, we are able to speak here, right, in Sunshine. And I'm telling you the information that I have. was given direction to get a bond attorney so we could start talking about it. The reason we're doing that is these two projects. Of course. They're two different things. If you don't, any of this stuff, if you just want to wait for them to tell you what the two different things are, I'm telling you what's actually happening in Miami Shores. If you don't want to hear it, that's fine.”
