“And the right-of-way increase is that that goes to the parcels? Right-of-way increase means does it go to the parcel owners? Yes. Okay, got it. And then if I go to 385, so we have revenues and then I see in 385, there is a arterial street. We are increasing expenditures from $6.8 million to $12.3 million. And if we go to the next page, this is where I see an increase in the capital improvements revenue 56%. approximately 56.7 million to 82.9 million. So is this where we are expecting the grants, the money we are tapping into? We are tapping into the grants. Are these grants specifically given…”

“So my only final concern is, and I'm leaning my fellow council members, if at all possible, can we postpone until we are done with the budget session next to three months and understand more about what's happening with the financially? If we are adding 20 million to this one project, what else we need to add in other projects? Just like this, are there any other projects that we might need to tap into another 10 million, 20 million? Do we even have that kind of money from the grants? Is it possible to wait on this for three months once we are all done and understand the budget? I'm also new…”

“I'm going to make a funny or interesting statement. We are okay. We are a $40 trillion debt as a United States. I think we are okay. We can borrow more as long as we can sustain and pay. Thank you so much.”

“Sorry if I'm asking any question that doesn't make sense, but right-of-way increase, $11.9 million. In our agenda, do we have details about $11.9 million? What is that for? I heard that is for some parcels, but when I looked at the parcels, it's only adding up for $4 million or something like that. It's not adding up to $11.9 million. What is that $11.9 million? Can I have details, please? I can explain. It's just property income, right?”

“So we don't have details of $11.9 million right now in the packet.”

“So right now I see three, four, five, seven parcels in page number 338. You are saying there are another four parcels that will require approximately another, I don't know, eight, how much is approximately those four parcels?”

“All I'm asking is $11.9 million total money goes to the parcel owners, yes or no?”

“Thank you, Deputy Mayor. And the transfer of funds, $3 million, what is that for? $3 million. It doesn't say what is that far. It says we are transferring from 2027.”

“So the levy rate of RFA, 45 cents per thousand, so this would affect approximately in 2028, if I understand the need to approve on that. How much do we, I know we do a general fund collection right now, how much do we collect at this moment? Is there a”

“So if all goes well, again, It's not that I'm talking just because I have a house. I'm just talking about every resident in Bothell. If somebody has a million dollar house, an average, I'm just saying, Would they be paying additional $450 based on this?”

“How much approximately do you anticipate it will go down approximately? Just taking this example, will it go down by... like 10 cents per thousand approximately, because these questions might come from the residents, okay? We are going and... So do we know approximately how much we are going to? I'm trying to see what goes up, what goes down, net effect for a homeowner.”

“different calculation so I can't tell you right now without looking at the 2028 assess value although I'm not talking about I'm talking about at least a baseline of current current appraisal value I mean things will go up and down I'm not talking about that if we are implementing this this is a 45 cents per thousand irrespective of what it we home value a million dollar home can be a five hundred thousand or a $1.5 million. Just because we can only go with what we have, we cannot talk about what we do not have. I'm just trying to see based on what we have the numbers right now, can we at…”

“And maybe question to you, our chief. Can it be even higher than 45 cents later when the board decides? Can it be, or is it the cap right now, 45 cents?”

“Again, it's up to the board. You can amend. I understand. But right now we are anticipating. I'm glad that I see a number here. Yeah. So, I mean, at least that is a number we are approximately anticipating based on current valuations, our current budget, what they have. That's what I'm anticipating, but it can be higher or lower. Correct. Okay. When was the last time for both residents we have levied more than 20 cents per thousand? Do we know, as a city staff, when was the last time we levied more than 20 cents? I usually see 5 cents, 10 cents on the ballots, but looking at 45 cents, I'm…”

“That's what I thought. No, the question I'm asking is, when was the last time we levied from the Bothell City like a... like we approved something like this, and then we were able to, like, we are also thinking for parts levy, right? I don't know what is the parts levy. We are still thinking. I do not know whether it's 10 cents or 20 cents. We don't know. We are still thinking.”

“So the last question, maybe I missed it. Can I see the language? What is the language we are approving today? Okay, so this is the language that every resident will look at it on their ballot.”

“Thank you. I mean, I just want to make sure, yeah, full disclosure, I don't mind $450 and, you know, I'm just trying to understand as we are all going through this process, that's all. I just want to let you all know how this is going to play out for a resident if they come back, if they ask us, hey, what's happened? How did you do it? I didn't know what I'm approving or... Because a lot of times, sometimes we say devil is in the details. So I'm trying to say my apologies. I just wanted to make sure that that is the intention. That's all. Thank you very much for the opportunity.”

“Thank you. So probably... Again, we don't have a magic wand. Probably that point of information is great. Probably we might reduce by 30 cents. If we are collecting, if we are not collecting for our fire, for Bothell fire, we might be able to reduce because that's what we are currently collecting. Is that right, Deputy Mayor? Is that what we are collecting for our fire?”

“Thank you, Mason. Thank you, Mayor. I was thinking I had an interesting or a stupid question. Can we collect rainwater legally and store and use it for our gardens or whatnot? I was looking online. It looks like King County has a program called Rainwise Program. Can you tell me a little bit more about it? How many residents are using a bottle? Can we use it regularly?”

“Do we know, are we eligible as Bothell residents for that program?”
