“My goal here is to make sure, apparently there is no process in place. They haven't talked, I mean they're not talking, they haven't set up an organizing process. I was told by Laz that their people don't want to organize. Okay, so I'm going to give them the opportunity to work together with the SEIU to create a vote, and if that vote, in a fair manner, and I want them, I want SEIU and LAS to get together, figure out a process, And then we'll hold this off until they come back and tell us that they have arranged for a process that's fair and just so. I think right now we hold it off docket or…”

“We need a little confirmation here. Andrew, can you tell us? Sure. This one that starts off with $51 million on the top is the mayor's? No. The committee substitutes that.”

“And the mayor's office is just that one tweak. That's the city manager's office. It's the mayor's version of one tweak.”

“I have a few questions, statements. First off, I want to go back to the private funding. When you came to us the first time and you asked, you had, I can't remember, was it $21 or $29 million already raised, and now we're at $40 million. But my understanding, I'm assuming you're counting $5 million of that which came from the Malouf family for the... And then you said there was a donation for two years of maintenance costs, and I'm assuming you counted those in there. So you're taking $7 million of the $9 million you raised that's not going towards the construction of this project. And it…”

“So the $1.2 million on the bottom and the $1.2 million basically on the top.”

“No, I mean, but the downtown council is going to pay the $1.2 million or find ways to pay the $1.2 million. Is that correct? For the maintenance of the parks.”
Director of Aviation · Sep 1, 2026

“Okay, but it's about $1.2 million a year.”
Director of Aviation · Sep 1, 2026

“And that includes making the park a lot of programming and stuff, right? Correct. That's what it costs. A lot of that costs. Correct. What would be the basic cost if nothing was done up there? Or maintenance? Maintenance.”

“Well, I mean, OK. I'm just concerned because I don't think the fundraising has gone real well. And if it doesn't go well there, the city's going to be the backstop, right? I mean, if you can't pay it, then we have to fill the gap. And that's where my concern lies.”
