“And I want to say for the record, what's interesting is that what I've found since this new administration has taken over, every time that I've decided to use a resolution, it comes up for review. And it's always when I'm using it for events or something that's diverse. And I think it's very strange that right before this council meeting on a hate page on social media, it talks about discretionary funds and linked me to some form of abuse of it. And that was on the agenda. So I think it's important that we don't spend so much time trying to attack people. a commissioner that is simply…”

“So to be clear, we're not talking about the discretionary funds for the commissioner. We're talking about resolution 2025-34 in regards to community events is what I'm talking about. I'm the only person that is trying to use the community event, not the discretionary funds. I actually have everybody reports. I'm actually the only person who have not used my discretionary funds this year. So I'm not talking about discretionary funds. I'm talking about the use of the event, the amphitheater. That's what I'm referring to.”

“So with that being said, I 100% agree. The issue is, is that that sounds so great. And I said the same thing. But until you are the person under attack, until you're not the one that cannot take your daughter outside because people are passing by your home, easy to say, until it's you. It is me. This is my life. It's real. And I know, trust me, I 100% want to move the city forward. But I'm the one that's getting attacked. My daughter is the one in school that's getting attacked. It's easy when it's not you. But when it's you, it's different. It's people on the diocese, the ones that's feeding…”

“So what's interesting, like I stated before, I'm the only person has requested to use this and now this on the agenda as a hit item. And I pressed my case and it was converted. Obviously, people have got together how things already pre-highlighted. And this is just an example. No, it was highlighted. You should also say you sent an email.”

“I wasn't finished. I wasn't finished. Actually, you interrupted me. as I was stated, was I was the one who wanted to use the policy that she just read out. And now it's a business item discussion on the agenda. Anything, any policy that I want to use or that I attempt to use, it usually appear up the next meeting as an attack item to try to change it. So I won't be able to utilize it. It has happened. And I will go and I'll do a whole presentation so you guys can see it. The community can see what has been happening under this administration.”

“Well, for the record, anything moving forward, the request has already been made. So any change to this policy would not affect the request already made. If it is, there will be ethics complaints, there will be lawsuits filed because that would be straight discrimination. This has already been asked for. It was already a resolution that was very clear where I could use it. And if this council go against it, I promise you there will be lawsuits and ethics complaints filed on everyone up here because it's straight discrimination. It is straight discrimination. Well, no one asked, actually. No…”

“No one knows exactly what's going to happen at the event. We just assume you don't know what's before, after, during. No one knows. And if no one asked me absolutely nothing about the event, everyone just got together with a whole attack agenda.”

“And also, Attorney Shepard, we have had a lot of calls and I'm definitely, definitely going to miss the guidance and the wisdom. And every time I call, you spend a lot of time asking questions and very honest, very direct. Always, always errant on the side of what was right and not your opinion, but factual and what was law. And I appreciate your comments. I appreciate your guidance. Even sometimes I didn't want to hear it. But I thank you for always, always doing what's right and not really following your opinion, not following anyone's opinion, really. You always said, I don't like it, but…”

“But we have increased, what was the property increase in value? So how much additional revenue have we taken in from property taxes? I'll be able to show you on this presentation. So we have taken in more money as well.”

“Well, I don't think that's a... Because there was a lot of things that was actually built into that. It just wasn't staffing. So I don't think that's a true indication of what it is. Because it was different things within that budget.”

“I mean, that would make sense if it was the whole entire thing was staffing. We're talking over each other. Correct. One at a time. Thank you.”

“Yes, I just think it's important that we don't try to paint a picture that is not correct. There has been a increase in taxes that have taken in. So I think it's important to say that. And this budget that was proposed was not just staff. That is 100% not accurate. That's all I have to say.”

“me it makes the most sense to have both in right now and adjust as needed down the road if we need to move those funds around my position is is that the in-house attorney we are budgeting for one position we're not budgeting for department so we're not properly budgeting budgeting so to have an in-house one attorney cannot do the job so if we're looking to actually do that do we need to budget for budgeted properly we need to staff it properly we need probably three attorneys probably two paralegals, executive assistant, so that this is just not accurate. It's just not accurate. That's just…”

“I just prepared a statement I just want to read and the reason why this is important to me. If public funding for nonprofit human service organizations is reduced or eliminated, there is a reasonable expectation that the underlying community needs will not disappear. They will shift to a higher cost government system. The city should anticipate increased demand for police calls for service, fire and emergency medical responses, juvenile justice involvement, homelessness intervention, behavioral health crisis, child welfare, and family stabilization services, emergency room utilization, and…”

“So to be clear, this $75,000 is a general budget for renovations. We have not identified exactly what we're going to do with that, and we don't have an itemized list of things we're going to tackle for the $75,000?”

“And what is that list? Can we have a copy of that list? Yeah, it's actually right here. Can you give us the dollar amount that equals the $75,000?”
