“Yeah, very nice presentation. The one thing that that caught me was on your outdoor court resurfacing and stuff like that. If you were to cut that down or minimize it, wouldn't it be cost, not cost effective down the road? Because if you're not maintaining it, you're going to have to replace it. So if the constant maintenance isn't being done, then the cost is just going to be a lot higher down the road. And I don't think that's a very feasible approach, especially if people are, let's say you have a pickleball league. they got to have a nice surface to play on or they're not going to play on…”

“I fully understand that. These are just suggestions that I'm seeing from your presentation that I don't really believe in as being a very good savings. To me, it's a hindrance moving forward as a department. Another thing was your bathroom cleanings at the different parks. I've seen that throughout the years and stuff, but maybe when you have your ballparks and your leagues out there, get some of your league members involved in it rather than jacking up their price. They can volunteer to have their kids go around and clean up some areas, this, that, and the other, and they keep a stable…”

“Thanks, Mayor. you're looking at, you know, possibly tweaking too. But here's another thing that I want everybody to think about too. This next year is going to be a very strenuous year going through the comp plan, going through ULDC because that can't even be touched till I think October of 27. and this now with the administrative approval. As you're working with all of this, you're going to come to a generalization on this is what we want in a comp plan, this is what we want with approvals for industry, commercial, and not include residential, you know, like everything that was brought in…”

“And I have a quick question for you. In AC 6 and 10, in this assessment process, are there any current residential properties out there that would be assessed? Like current homeowners out there within that area that would be assessed as residential or is it primarily commercial or industrial or mixed use? Because, and the reason I ask this is, I would like to keep it to the commercial industrial and mixed use. And now assess the residential units that are out there currently. Because I know we can't build anymore, but you have people out there that may fall under that category and. And this…”

“And if I had a say in it down the road when this comes up again, which I won't, That would be my direction. And I would take all residential out of that equation, still work with the commercial, industrial, and move forward that way because I do see it as a need, but I don't want to see it as a hang-up for residents that are out there already because they didn't see this coming. And I don't want to burden them at all.”
