And I don't think that that's something that we want to entertain because of the thing. So I'm hoping that we don't see fit to consider that at this time. I will defer to my colleagues on that.”

“I'd just like to take a quick moment to express our appreciation for this donation. Priming the pump is a great analogy. It's a way to get those other funding going. And in the process of this, I'd like to recognize those two former mayors, Mayor Hopkins and former Mayor Palmer. Former mayors are a great resource. We like to have them around. They continue to yield results in the years after they step down. So again, thank you for this contribution, and we're excited to get that Section 5 going.
