“I have a couple of questions as well. And you can stay on this slide. That works for my question. Because I know the question applies to this slide and the previous one of the $30 million. And you sort of spoke to that earlier. And I just want to reiterate. Authorization, let's say the vote is yes, put it on the ballot. Let's say voters authorized, et cetera. So this amount that is indicated here, the property tax impact at the $21 million or on the other side at the $30 million, that is if That impact is if we bond immediately for the full amount. The impact is less, and I think I know the…”

“Okay. And again, your recommendation is that's part of the voter information pamphlet. Scenarios, it's not binding. It's just helping voters understand this is what we are, we're asking for authorization for this.

“Which brings me actually to my second question. Well played. So I've been thinking ever since last week of what it looks like perhaps because to elaborate or perhaps connect to what Councilwoman D'Souza was just asking in terms of timing.

“Right. So what I'm hearing you kind of say is, at the minimum, Marcy, don't lose sight of the fact that we need to have, in order to close on March 1st, we need to have at least 17 million.”

“And I completely recognize that the council will be a part of the deliberation with each issuance. I hear that loud and clear. But my question kind of stemmed from, as I pondered on our conversation and our deliberation last week, I had this thought of, well, what if the deliberation over the issuance after the $17 million, I got you, Is a sits in the hands of a different council. Like, you know, we have a change or something. What might we do to communicate? And I like how you use the word intent. So that's what I'm sort of searching for is, um, how might, how might we offer a little bit of…”
