I would, if you guys don't mind humoring me, I would, if we have a few minutes to have Jaime come up and kind of give us a quick update on the new program, just to, you know, just from... the ABCs of this and how, because this is quite a change from our current MBEWB program. If you could just kind of hit on some of the highlights of what this program is about and how it works.”

“I would like to see some bullet points on the certification process, what it takes to be certified, and I'd like to see what your plan is for a timeline on getting certified, whether that takes three months, six months, two weeks, or whatever. And I know that it's probably going to take longer as you start up, but I would like to see, you know, what you anticipate right now versus six months from now and what your goal getting signups in is.”

“So kind of a question. If you go to your capital projects and maintenance in FY2027, you break down the budget for 2027. I'd be interested to know what portion of that budget is of the deferred maintenance that already exists. And I'm assuming all of this general maintenance is based on a graded projection of what the worst, going from the worst to the best, which I don't think we have any best. And I truly appreciate both of you advocating for this because I do think it's one of the things that is going to hurt the city significantly in 10, 15 years when a lot of these buildings and assets…”

“Okay. That's better than I thought. Any other questions from my colleagues? not I said appreciation yeah appreciate you guys and I will say I think two of the biggest problem issues we're gonna face here at City Hall in the next five to six years is maintenance of our assets as well as the water water treatment plan. I think those two things are going to demand a lot of money to get fixed, and hopefully we still have some bond capacity left for those. Thank you very much.”

“Question. We're putting a lot of effort and money into convention facilities, which I'm thrilled about. My concern is we're now at 25, 24 years of the T-Mobile Center. What should we expect from them coming up in the next three or four years of maintenance needs and the basic requirements needed for a state-of-the-art facility?”
