“Off a diesel. Okay. So there's a refuel that's got to come out to it at some point to do it. Okay. And are there options in colors? Because I see a white one here or a cream-colored one for those that are worried about aesthetics.”

“I'm just thinking if you know for aesthetics for if it's not the stone fencing but I I get it I don't think it looks that bad I mean it's I seen the pedestals in my neighborhood that virtually are in people's yards and they're large and that's you know for undergrounding just for electrical so for a lift station being that there's 21 across the city I don't think that's a bad look to be honest with you I understand that people don't want it but I've seen worse areas and worse things and neighborhoods on the corner with transformers and the like that look really bad too so I mean I think this…”

“In the chain of lift stations, if you don't do something to one and there's a failure on it because it didn't get... lifted, let's just say, and God forbid something was to happen, whether it be stormwater or rainwater, what does that do to the rest of the lift stations? Does it slow things down? Does it stop? Does it cease? What is it in the daisy chain?”

“I would be good with a buy-in on some sort of beautification for it, look at whatever we could do for it. I mean, we have lift stations in other areas that I would disagree that the one at 55th, you don't notice it. It's ugly. It's sitting there, and it is there. It's in the back next to the— the beach store and you know we did pretty well with lift station one it's not beautiful and most lift stations aren't beautiful but if we can make them look a little better I mean I would be concerned with Fisherman's Park as well because you know the size of that is basically the size of the park I…”

“Do the same sentence sentiments to Linda Cheney. Thank you very much. She has been a great proponent for us out here on St. Pete Beach for many many years and can't say thank you enough for that. I did want to mention I do have my library hours on Monday September 14th from 5 to 5 45 at the library and I'm going to ask Camden to take a look at the four drains on the corner of 71st because it with the heavy rains it has been flooding sounds like passing girls pushing the water to everybody else pushing it over to my way that's all thank you commissioner”

“but I'd be happy to but yes that was for a capital project and that's what that second assessment is on your tax bill well I believe it started in 2010 with one and then it grew to I think 2012 it went into two okay and then it did a substantial increase a hundred and fifty percent increase in 2022 I can research that. So I'm just curious because I know with assessments, they're supposed to end at some point. They're supposed to be legally an end date to it. And we haven't even touched on that. I've got residents looking at increases on a lot of items and still fitting this bill on the tax…”

“And I know a couple years ago, I don't think it was the last budget sessions we went through, but the year before that, we had talked about, there was a lot of talk about moving our money to higher yields, yield accounts. Have we done that?”

“And under department's general funds. I see city commission, the change is negative 17.4% and city manager at 4.7%. Question, Chair, on that. What all is involved in the city commission? I know that we've got our salaries here. Because if I count up salaries, it doesn't come anywhere close to $178,000.”

“Yeah. and I just other than those I just don't see I see everything else growing and I just don't see a lot of operational cuts at all on any of this I'm willing to give up our salaries if you can call them that I believe that would still need to be a referendum of the people”

“What is the ridership though on that? I'd have to look up exactly what the ridership was on it. Just trying to compare that to what the trolley is.”

“Is it 10,000? Is it 40,000? I mean, much less is a very nebulous term. So I'm just trying to get a handle on what much less it would be.”

“I would second everything Commissioner Marriott said but I would also preface it with the fact that we're not in a financially good situation in the city. If we were we may not even be having this discussion. But after the hurricanes after what our storm system our sewers are at what we're looking at right now talking about increasing potentially increasing ad valorem adding the rate hikes onto everything and then still having those assessments on our tax bills. It's a hard one to kind of swallow when it's monies that could be used better elsewhere within the city. So as far as for me for the…”
