“No, from my side, but I'll leave it for the other members to chime in here. I don't need to go through the slides one by one.

So we really don't have an updated version that we would then be able to look at. but I do have one question. So I'm looking at the outdated version of the budget on page 23 that has the millage rate calculation. So if I understand it correctly, is that this calculation in this version was done prior to the, you know, notification of the…”

“basically i cut that one in half that's the only thing i'm proposing okay so i know there is a immediate or short-term impact now on the budget and also for next fiscal year if i understand it correctly correctly Sandra this reduction in tax on the homestead portion that that would impact next fiscal year and I also see that as you said Richard that the portion that North Bay Village has on homestead is 19 percent or something so and i know there's no exact answer to this it's just me throwing it out throwing it out there for discussion and your thoughts knowing that we will have more…”

So yeah, I'm just throwing it out there. We're way behind. So I think this is really interesting. That's my opinion. Richard, you look surprised.”
