“She's saying the budget itself, because the budget's the one that lists the line items. So in the police budget, the line items will be listed in the budget, right? Salaries, cars, whatever they use. And what she's saying is the negotiators, so she's basically talking about the manager, the attorney, CFO, so you guys need to basically look at the budget and understand the different line items and kind of like where you want to prioritize or put like the weight so that when you go to negotiations, it reflects that basically. Yes, go ahead, the floor is yours.”

Let me just say really quickly, after Councilperson Winters' thing that he said, which he didn't vote for last year, but let me just say respectfully, I didn't mean that to be disrespectful, you can change your vote.

“All right, going once, going twice speed humps, going three times. All right, so the first thing I'm going to say is this. What was being argued is not what's up for tonight. The speed humps were passed last year. The second whereas is for the village-wide speed humps. The Village of El Portal has reviewed three proposals, copies of which are attached here too, and finds that the proposed quote for the installation of speed humps and signs obtained by all driveway solutions is the lowest responsive and responsible proposal, and that is the proper source of procurement under Florida law.

“No, I hear you. I would just say that if we feel like Yeah, I hear you, I hear you. No, I hear you, I hear you, my brother. I would say that if we feel like speed humps, which we passed last year village-wide, if we feel like that's something that we want to continue, whether it's a year from now, three years from now, five years from now, resolutions don't expire, then there's nothing against continuing to solidify that the work that was done was quality work for us. Now, what I can also do, which I'm not sure if I would do it, to be transparent, is every time I put in a single speed hump…”
