“And is that... Do you feel like that decision is based on the type of work here and the variance between the estimate versus the actual cost, so it's the type of work? Because usually we do award for the bid.”

“Thank you very much for friendly getting on our agenda. I know we've talked several times about trying to get you in front of council, so I'm very glad that you're here. Thank you for your efforts. Tourism is something that's so important to our city, and I know you get to live and tell that story every single day, so I'm a little bit jealous of you. But it's very important. So what I would like to do, and while I know this is a housekeeping item that we need to pass administratively, I would really love for you to be able to get back on the agenda and share some of those incredible stats…”

“Okay, either or. And so we received that initial approval, and it has to go to the full board. When does that 180 days take effect? When we applied or when they give us that final approval?”

“Okay, so... You said that CCW is in support of reactivating NEAC to evaluate the long-term solutions. I'm just curious, I think that's something that we would already be initiating right now because I'm hopeful, I appreciate TCQ's support in this temporary pause. We've needed it for a while, but I think we need to be proactive because we're still, I think, going to come to them with some kind of long-term change recommendation, and I don't want us to be the holdup. Six months is not a long time to look at that.”

“I want to be very proactive is what I'm trying to say, you know, get that, get the approval from the other two partners and don't wait on it because six months is going to go fast.”

“Peter, we talked about this like three weeks ago, and this was... Right. You went back and forth with the association, with the fire department, and... Basically, we discovered that that was reality. There were some retired firefighters who were experiencing nearly a 90% increase with this.”

“I think what we need to do is make it very clear to the individuals who will be experiencing this and also to the public because it's a terrible concern. But as far as we go, there's not a lot that we can do to change it. And that's the position that we're in is they're coming to us, which is rightfully so, and saying this is a problem. It's going to impact me very negatively. And our hands are tied.”

“So that type of thing where they can communicate on their end and get that clearly explained on their end, because that's where I don't want there to be the gap.”

“Originally, there was a motion made to go to the no new revenue, and I think the discussion centered around bringing back a recommendation. If we were to do that, this is what we'd need cut before we vote on number four.”

“Do we have a presentation on that showing totals? Do we have anything prepared?”

“Okay, so the recommendation in order to facilitate going to the no new revenue tax rate would be I think it was 700 million, whatever that offset was that we were putting into these new items. And there was no other recommendations on other ways that we could save that 820?”

“I guess from the last discussion, I recognize that you said that would be the first recommendation, but it seems like there was potentially going to be a secondary. These are other options that we could consider. So I guess that's kind of what I was looking at because we know abatement, we cannot lose that. So that's what I was kind of looking for.”

“I guess I'm a little disappointed that we don't have something kind of showing those dollars since there was actually a motion made and there was discussion about it. So... I appreciate that, thank you.”

“I think there was some good suggestions as far as less than 1% from each, or up to 1%, a reduction from the budget like Councilman Hernandez recommended and merit versus... COLA, those types of things. Again, I wish that those could have been presented today to avoid this type of a situation because there was so much discussion on it. But those were really good places to start.”

“Well, my comment was actually on item 24, but I just wanted to thank the port because this is not only gonna be a very valuable enhancement to that structure, but through this partnership, it's a huge saving to the city and it's an incredible facility for the public use, so thank you for that. Hopefully, and I don't know if it's possible, but I'd love to see if there was fishing returned over in that area somewhere. I've actually had some people bring that up to me. I'm sure we'll see beautiful designs in the future, but thank you for your partnership.”

“I think they were asking about the timing. They were able to present, but they were trying to confirm on the timing as their short staff. So I don't know if we can move that item up earlier, and that may alleviate that issue.”
