“No, no, no, no, no. I was going to take $750 from the sidewalks, but we don't have to. Because if Hager puts that... If you put that other page back on... We have $8 million right now that needs to, that can be moved and we can move one and a half million for Sulphur Springs. Here, I'll, and I have, can I ask one more question on this? So Mr. O'Hara, I'm gonna come down.”

“No worries. So mine here shows if we put this $1.5 million in there, we add the 1.3 for the TPD headquarters because it needs the elevators fixed. And then these other projects that we promised people, that Burrell Park has to happen. There's just no ifs, ands, or buts. We've promised people the Gadsden Park improvements. But down here, I was told that this has already been solved.”

“OK. And so because no construction, so we've dealt with that. So all we're dealing with, and even if all of this stuff is done, that only equates to $6.3 million. We still would have money left to do the prep work for the COT, for the McDill. So anyway, I just wanted you all to take a look at that and see. That's kind of what I'm thinking for the CIT.”

“Well, I'm going to go back to basically what I recommended for Councilman Vieira. I believe this is workforce training. I don't believe this is social action arts funding. So I mean, I'm actually having Kelly right now look for how much they've gotten in the past. And they may not get the full amount, but I really believe that's workforce training. I do not believe it's a social action and arts thing. So we talked about this before about really trying to move some of the workforce. some of this training stuff to workforce. And I, I mean, again, it may not be at the full amount, but I really…”

“Okay, so I have a couple of questions. I don't know about you, but I've been inundated with information about Swan Park. I don't know if you all have been as well. I've had a briefing. Yeah, we're getting briefings about it, but basically they want to leapfrog all these other parks that have been waiting. And so I wanted to put that on people's horizon and just to know that we have a bunch of parks that we did fund through our 20 extra funding of 2025. So we have a whole list of parks, and I don't think Kelly's here, so I'll run down and show you what we have already funded. We funded about…”

“So my question is, if there is money left in the East Tampa Rec Center, I noticed that on the deferrals is some East Tampa Rec Center programming. Can we move that money into programming? Or is that solely for construction?”

“Okay. Okay. Thank you. I just thought I'd ask. And the other one that I wanted to bring up was stormwater funding. We... We have underfunded this year's stormwater by $3 million, and that's maintenance. And Mr. O'Hara showed it, and I'm trying to see if I can find.”
