“No, I agree, which is why I think we've all said we need to see that list as to what the dollars are programmed for. I agree completely. What I meant was not freezing it from remediation. This loan program right now is very, very, like she said, she narrowed it. It's really just for county-owned property that is being leased long-term of 10 acres or more? Owned by the county. Or owned and run by the county. Correct. Thank you. I'm saying we don't know who falls into that bucket. What I'm saying is right now we know there's at least 30 to 55 million that is, quote, not programmed, which, by…”

“And by the way, I don't know that it should be an open-ended program. We should also have a chance to revisit what does that look like? What is it doing? And I know you would agree with that. And so that's why I think this has been great conversation and great discourse of really trying to fine-tune something and bake it a little bit, right? And I appreciate you taking the time because one thing you do is you dive in and you look for these creative ways to try to solve an issue. So I actually really appreciate you doing that. So thank you for that. Okay, so what are the open-ended things that…”

“Yes. Okay. I'll let you, I'll let you speak and I'm going to turn it to the maker.”

“I'm trying to appease your concerns. Okay, so this is what we're going to do, because typically we don't, you know, we can proffer suggestions, and, you know, I never want to, if someone has a piece of legislation, we make our recommendations, we all do it to each other, but a lot of times, you know, you're the maker, so we're trying to respect that as well, because you're the one who's been living, breathing, working on this. So for purposes of today... And I would see if Commissioner Cohen Higgins would be comfortable with this if we sent it without it, because there are concerns. And like…”

“And I'm going to defer real quick before we wrap this up to the administration. Can you please let us know if there are any other changes that you would like to see? Again, we might be passing this without a recommendation anyway, just so that we have it at least to the full body and you all have the opportunity to work with the commissioner. And also, I would appreciate you reaching out to my office. I think we all need to know the list of properties that this would impact, the list of programmed properties. I guess those that have been promised for programming, what does that look like?…”

“Okay. That would be interesting to see because then we need to understand the prioritization. Do we want this to be the prioritization or what they're going to be presenting? So maybe what we do is we move it out of committee to make the changes that were made today on the record. And also maybe put a caveat that we move it, but it also has to run parallel to a recommendation from the administration as to the work program that they want to put forward. So we have that to make the full determination, because if you all don't support this, we may have a different conversation at BCC.”

“I mean, do you have any comments or thoughts on that? I'm just, yeah. That could work as an exhibit. Commissioner Hardiman. Do you have a motion? Yep. We've been...”

“So the motion is to move it without a recommendation out of committee so we have this full discussion, including the amendments as it relates to having the administration set the rate. Having them set the cap and putting on the exhibit of the work And providing an exhibit of the work list for this particular item. And also, I would like it to run, you know, I would like to hear from the administration as a part of this as a condition to better understand what are the. So we go in eyes wide open. What are the you know, if we fund this, what are we not funding? What else is there right now…”

“I guess it would sunset in two years and then we would, yeah, we would sunset in two years.”

“Thank you. So, Commissioner Regalado, the reason I think we want to see that, I think you would want to see it, too, so you know what they would be putting forward as the administration. Because you may say, as the maker of this item, you know what? No. And then you can make your argument as to why you don't think that would work. Do you agree with that?”

“But they need to provide it prior to second reading. Right. With the item. Right. Okay. Yes. Okay. So can we amend your amendment that what you read? No. So that it is part of the final hearing of this item at second reading.”

“Okay. I'm fine with that. Roy, do you understand? Do you all think you have enough time? And now I'm being realistic. We have our second budget hearing. We have a lot going on in September. October 6th is right around the corner. We can't get sometimes things from the administration within three months, let alone two weeks. I think this probably should be October 20th. I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. To give you time.”

“We were trying to respect the maker of the motion. It proffered either without a recommendation, barring all of these things, or I think Commissioner did offer to bring it back. We were trying to be respectful of the maker at this point.”

“I mean, OK, then, you know, we'll do then. Look, I'm trying to get out of out of committee for you. But at the same time, if they feel that they're not going to be able to bring it to us, if it can guarantee on the October 20th, then there's no harm done because it's going to be a committee before the October 20th meeting.”

“Okay. Listen, there's an argument to be made for deferring it, and there's an argument to be made, you know, sending it out of committee without a recommendation is a strong statement, too, that we may not be supporting it at committee, at commission, that we have a lot of concerns and issues. And so perhaps, so deferring it to work it out, we might all unanimously approve it. or we may end up relitigating the same thing. But I'm going to move that we pass it out of the committee without a recommendation, which I do think sends a really strong message that we're not in agreement here on what…”

“Yeah, I don't listen. I know Commissioner Cohen Higgins has to leave and I don't know that that's exactly what she was inferring. So again, you need to be unanimous to pass it out. I don't think I feel that right now. So I think I will then withdraw, move to defer and to the October 15th. Is that the next committee?”

“Okay, to the October 15th committee. Provided we still need that information by then, please, and then hopefully we get it out for the 20th. Second. And with that, item 3C that I pulled is being deferred by the administration. Any other questions or comments before we adjourn? Madam Chair. Yes.”

“All right, Mayor, are you ready? OK. All right. So good morning. Thank you for being here. So today, of course, is September 1, which kicks off many things, including Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. And we have two incredible organizations that are here this morning. And we're going to start with Mystic Force. As we know, the Mystic Force Foundation was founded 18 years ago in honor of Salvatore Sal and is dedicated to supporting children and families affected by pediatric cancer through advocacy, awareness, community outreach, and programs that provide hope, assistance, and comfort…”

“All right. Our next presentation also is to a wonderful organization. And, you know, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is observed each September. And the Live Like Bella Childhood Cancer Foundation was established in memory of Bella Rodriguez Torres and is dedicated to changing childhood cancer from a terminal diagnosis to a treatable and curable disease by funding innovative research, providing financial and emotional support to families, and advocating for children affected by cancer. The Live Like Bella Childhood Cancer Foundation has made a profound impact by supporting families…”
