Thank you. I understand and appreciate the need to take some additional time for the language on the half-cent sales tax. I don't necessarily agree that moving the tenth sales tax for homelessness and affordable housing should wait until August. Yet I also understand that the costs involved with having two different elections. And I guess really what I'm trying to say is that even though I wouldn't support something like that, I do understand if that's the decision that we need to go because of needing to refine the language for the half cent.

Thank you. I really don't have a whole lot much different to say. I can't support a half cent sales tax that is just so vague, especially when I'm not completely confident that we have actually addressed the structural imbalance in the proposed 27 budget.

Thank you. I just wanted to say congratulations to Nick and Josh. best wishes moving forward in your new adventure, and you will be missed.

Yeah, I'd like to, if there had been cuts to the other operating expenses, just knowing an exact dollar amount and where that was at would be.
I think maybe one or two of my questions might have been answered about what stations are maybe operating above your capacity, like which ones you're experiencing the longer
Okay. And then my other question is do you know what the annual cost of operating a new station would be?
As you have it planned now, do you know what the difference in operating cost would be compared to what a station that you plan on moving?
