“Well, I'll make a motion to approve a – I'm sorry, CAR would make a motion to approve a letter in support of this, especially the disparity between other states. But then also, rurals do cost more per person, but also because of travel. That's just a fact. We run into it with school districts, whatever. It's more expensive. So I would be in favor of us writing a letter of support. But then as a side note, no, I'd be curious of what your reply back from our delegates, Ger and Ellison are. That's a separate note from them.”

“Development. I guess I'm just shocked. I'm not in my head comprehending that an HOA, no, this is their water. This is their problem. I'm not opposed to it, but that's when I first read that to go, why would you get a grant? It's your water.”

“Mr. Chair? Yes. The only thing I pondered is, because I know there's some different investors in this business, so I didn't know if we wanted to change the word to a related entity as part of it, because if there's like three companies own this together, but one of the companies owns it, is it enough in here, or should we add related entity is still part of the business people?”

“No, it does. I just want to make sure we're clear on this, that all of a sudden we're not missing a slight bit of, once again, the entity is part of their group owns it. Or like I have to do for tax purposes, three 46 silver owns telescope lanes, but then my operating is telescope lanes. So their entity might be slightly different, but yet it's still the same people. I just want to make sure we're kind of covering that. I do it for tax purposes on renting from myself, but... Does that make sense?”

“And Elmo, um, Chief Peterson called me about it and everything, and I'm familiar with the station enough, especially it was built by inmates years and years ago. So finding some things they got to fix wasn't a shocker. So this is pretty reasonable. So Carl will make the motion to approve, especially since it's coming back. If something truly bizarre is different than this, it'll come back to us anyway.”

“Well, I first want to make it clear that this is not approving a business license program. This is so staff can spend some time. To me, it's a priority, but staff can spend some time on figuring out how that would look. Who whose office would it be under? How would it work? But I personally think it would help a lot at exactly what you were talking about. Anything from data centers to And there aren't any, don't know, all of a sudden Facebook say that, see, they want data centers. No, I'm saying any of these, we can have some jurisdiction over what's going on to answer those questions of what…”

“I have three businesses in town and I have business licenses through the city in town. My guess would be it barely makes any income for the city. It just breaks even for what it costs. So it doesn't lose the city money, but it doesn't have much funds for it.”
