“Yeah, I agree with everyone. Just want to go back to the asset management. I think it's really key for future decisions and come with priority. It's kind of impossible to me if we don't know where our assets, where we are with, where we have deficit, what's the cost to each program or item we have. So Chris, when is the asset management available?”

“So part of those data gathering for asset management, maybe we rely on some volunteers. I know part of it gets technical. You need more technical eye on that. But then maybe a group of the students can help. A lot of people were excited to help with Park when we had the Crown Park grand opening. I can bring some army of students for you instead. Yeah.”

“Yes. Thank you, Kayla. Great job presenting. It was very clear, easy to understand. So several of my questions were already answered. Thanks to everyone for the good questions. Only one I want to ask now, and I'll wait for later. The depth we are showing, I think it's page number 45 in our package. It's a graphic that talks about expenses trends. So showing all different category for the expenses we have. The debt is the amount, what is included? Is it what we pay annually or is the whole bond? I think it's just the annual payment, right? Is it normal to have this debt or is it a problem to…”

“I have more to say if nobody has other, okay. So my engineer brain always comes with what's the plan, what's the schedule, look at this. I drew some graphic for myself. I think without planning and schedule, we just talk, at least for my brain, I need to know what the plan is. So according to the plan and the schedule, we say, okay, we have townhouse, we have public, we just have to have more structured plan for the public engagement rather than I would say we need to take it more serious. As mentioned, we're all happy with our mayor and administrative. So our look at it as if we want to make…”

“Thank you. It's important to me to have town halls. We give public a chance to start with us, bring their opinion freely to us. I was hoping actually to have town halls sooner than September in August, maybe second town hall in September. But what I also learned, once we put it in resolution, yes or no, at the town hall, the discussion would be different. We have to just provide facts rather than discussion as a council. So, and I really agree with Council Member Hoyne. We need someone that doesn't have bias. It just brings the good education for the public. And town hall to me, the one I…”

“We're going to have town hall either in August or September, right? We're going to work with city clerk. Is that right? Okay. And then I was just going to say town hall is one kind of public engagement, but to me is not. We need to look at that. And we need another maybe session to decide what to do, what other things. I want to ask council if they want to talk about whether we should move with resolution or not in August 17th or September 7th.”
