“Sorry to interrupt. I believe I heard in the planning commission meeting that you could cap that canal. So there is potential that you could.”

“so i bottom line the hotel i'm a solid yes on it's just that eastern portion that i think we need to work on it and i i mean you you're given we look at the development agreement and the amendments and each time it says no more than this you can't transfer and then you amend it and you can transfer so you've used up the original erus down here for a residential and then you got more and then you I'm saying you. I don't know who did it.”

“In areas that I think might have been better for commercial, but then there's residential there. So I appreciate what the Harmons are doing for sure. Like I said, it's a beautiful plan up north, but past councils have given up prime commercial locations here zoned for commercial for more residential we're running out of that commercial space so i'm really hesitant to give it up again for more high density and especially in a place that's hurting because of the impact of high density there so and i guess you've worked something out with parking i'd like to know about it more but I guess my…”

“You know what? That's been the plan. And you've pulled density down again and again and eaten up our commercial area. And right now we're in the point in the city where we need to protect that for the future. We need that self-tax revenue. So it's kind of a hard pill to swallow to just move it down. If you're bringing something, if you bring, like I said, so we had another, it was a development agreement, kind of similar. They wanted high-density housing or whatever, and then they wanted a hotel. We put that in a development agreement where They committed to providing those things. So I'm not…”

“But you got, I guess in the last one, you got to move 100 ERUs. That was the one. That took up our commercial space. And what did the city get from that?”

“I just would like more than just you can move the units.”

“Developing that. That's what the rights are. That's what it was zoned. And again, it's how long have you had it? 2015 or whenever it originated. But again, you knew. You agreed at one point that this was the plan, and then let's change it, and let's change it. One time.”

“The original, and then a change, and then change again. This is the second change that you're asking for.”

“You knew it was there. You used up your residential ERUs in different places, and now you want it again. So please understand the city's perspective. I'm looking out for our residents and our taxpayers, the neighbors that live there, and the impact that will be on them. So just giving you an agreement where you get to move more ERUs, to me, without guarantees that you would, put in a hotel or any other hotel, I kind of .”

“I've got a lot of emails that don't want high-density So I don't know you you live in Holbrook farms.”

“Well, that's what I support. If you watch this council, we want to hold people to what they propose. Yeah. So that's the direction I wanted to go. I didn't want to vote just on a density or ERU transfer.”

“I don't think we're ready for that. I don't...”

“So the dollars are for a study. And if you want to wait until we decide on a road, that's going to be a long time. And like you said, you're paying a tax bill right now. Okay.”
City Council · Aug 11, 2026

“I'm just saying you might have to wait a while if you want to discuss the road.”

“I'd prefer it in a work session. Then we can have a discussion with the full council, and there's value in that.”

“parking I think I made myself very clear over two meetings now I would just add to prepare for that whenever the work session probably on the 8th if you can provide us with any information you've talked about parking solutions or whatever we can prepare for that meeting and that might save us some time and”

“So I have a question, Cameron. Is that... At that point, when it was brought up, do we need a municipal court? Is that what started this discussion or research into?”
City Council · Aug 11, 2026

“And I actually agree with that. But I'm just wondering when this process started. Because at that meeting, that was the first time I had heard it brought up. I didn't even know it was possible that we can dissolve our municipal court. So I'm just wondering when did you research?”

“Sorry, I do have a question. The judge made a valid point, though. This will affect the recruitment or search, I guess. So if we pass this resolution, it's fine. I support who we're appointing to this committee. And you said whoever doesn't have to post it immediately. Are you expecting to hold onto it until we make a decision?”

“gotten a lot of conflicting information. So I'd really like solid numbers. I've heard different things from different people.”

“So do you guys have a list of what they accept and what they don't? I mean, you talked about appliances, right? Which I do know that there are people that will pick it up for free. Right. And again, there's opportunities like just running errands. You could take your glass to places or your electronics to places. So I do have a kind of an issue of requiring this of everybody, whether they utilize it or not. I've never had a problem disposing, finding a place to dispose, you know. But do you have a list of what they accept and what they don't?”

“And do we, you said residents want this. Do we have hard data that shows that, that there's a demand for this? Or, like, I would be interested to know how many actually want this versus how many would rather not just take care of it on their own.”

“Oh, sorry. I'm going to disagree with that. Again, referring to state law where it says the intent is to provide, I can't remember the words, but predictable and substantial funding for these organizations. So I don't support that change. But I did have a question. When you talk about the volunteer hours and the operating expenses, are you adding that the volunteer hours amount to their operating expense, so it increases? Correct. And that 50%? So is it, okay, I think I get it.”

“And are you saying that that's just a policy guideline? It's not?”
