“Because I think it would be good for people to know, because they may think, oh, you made that money, and then why can't I have a staff? Because it's required to go here or here. So if you could give us the options for each of those, that would be great.”

“I agree, because then we'll be hearing from people saying, you know, how many chairs did they have? Well, they said they had eight. Yeah. I would just say it would be great if when we come back or at some point between now and the next meeting, we could have a few more columns that would give us these scenarios that we were looking for. So if we're talking about 400 or 350 on the short-term rentals, we can see what that relates to in dollars so that when we're making our decisions, we know what that means. As best you can. I'm sure you couldn't for all of them. But on the parking, Scott,…”

“Yes. Thank you, mayor. There were a lot of great things going on on this Island this weekend. Um, but today I'd like to briefly thank the town staff for all the work they've done in the last month or so, uh, getting us prepared for not just this council meeting, but, uh, the budget it's a, it's a heavy load this time every year. And I want to thank them for that work.”

“Patrick, can I stop you there for a moment? Yes. Can you tell me, maybe Jason can, what was the required parking? AND WHERE ARE YOU NOW?”

“I do have questions. So is this applicant required to provide public benefit, or do they fit nice and neatly into the requirements? We are providing the ones that you provided.”

“I do have another question, but I'd rather everyone else have a chance to speak, and then I can sum it up.”

“I do have a few questions, Tom. So would that delivery structure that you're talking about, could that live in perpetuity? Well, this is one business.”

“Gotcha. That takes care of that question. There are also some utility poles, I think, on Primo there. Are those for you to move, or the utility company, or who picks up that tab? Or can they be underground, replaced underground?”

“Perfect. And Tom, I have one other comment. One of my biggest concerns, and I think we hear it around town as well, is we are reducing parking for a lot of people. At some point, especially in that area, could we have people that are all driving around looking for the same few parking spots? might you have parking spots at other holdings that you may have on the island up on the north end that you would, as a public benefit, consider for the six spaces that you're going to require, six less spaces that you would deed to the town perhaps for some income?”

“So I think maybe I didn't explain it perfectly or very well. So I appreciate that and you seem to do it very well now. My question is in light of public benefit, do you have any parking availability that you could give the town, for the town to have revenue that would equate to the six spots. Similar to the waste in a way. Waste in a way. Not that big, but I don't know what other holdings you may have.”

“I think that's important. I think that's very important, especially public safety. I mean, there are a lot of places we would not put a park bench, even though it would be lovely. It would be too dangerous.”

“I think this helps the safety issue as well.”

“But should we look to adjust that? It's something that you'll work with the town. We can't say right now specifically how it would be. Is that correct? You can't specifically say. We can come up with some wording for that. OK. We don't need to nail it down exactly two feet, three feet, five. It's just working with the town to come up with.”
