“I have a question that maybe you all know, and it's me coming late to the party here. But how were we told that so much wire, 54,000 linear feet, was stolen? When was that flag raised? I mean, was there a gigantic reel of cable out there that wasn't there one day? Was it in a warehouse that wasn't one day? Was it installed in the wrong place or then they went to use it and it wasn't there? How do we even know fundamentally something was stolen?”

“Mayor, I also think if you don't have a map of what areas you're talking about, we don't know that we aren't replacing something that may be stolen again, and we don't know is that the first claim or the second claim. It could just get muddier. I understand the need to move forward, but if we don't know exactly what areas we're talking about, it almost makes it more difficult should it be stolen again.”

“If we don't have it secured in some way. I mean, are we the only island? Are they seeing, do you know, Nancy, if FPNL is talking, or from any of our... No, I apologize.”

“If you don't know. That's exactly it. And I also saw something when I was reading. It looked like the original was 130 feet, but now it's 390 feet. There's just a lot of missing pieces. I'm not sure.”

“I may add one other thing, too. And, Will, you may know this already, but in our grant world, maintenance and product are two different things. And so we would want to make sure if we move maintenance money into product money that we don't end up having to pay, you know, it may be funds that change eligibility requirements. I'm not sure. I just think we need a little more information. Maybe have them in here.”

“I do have a question. It seemed to see in the packet that these have already been purchased. Is that correct? I'm sorry, Rebecca? Is this a retroactive purchase?”

“I just want to make sure, because you can't get an invoice until something is shipped, correct?”

“And that may have a 60-day window as well that may void the need to pay $3,000?”

“No, I support Will as well. I think we need to get controls over the data and who has access. So I agree with you, Will.”

“I WANT TO ECHO THE SAME THING. ALLEN AND CINDY, WE MET EARLY ON IN THE LET'S GO FMB AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS COUNCIL WERE A PART OF THAT ORGANIZATION WHEN IT FIRST STARTED. BUT NOT ONLY DID THEY SPEND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME, THEY DROVE ALL OVER THE STATE. They looked at peers. They took notes. They made presentations. This wasn't just a committee that you work on for a few hours. This was a lot of time, a lot of gasoline, and they also spent a lot of their own money. So I want to thank them as well. Thank you.”

“Yes, I want to thank you as well as the whole committee. This is a perfect example of what an advisory committee is there to do. You've spent hours, your team. analyzing, thinking about things we don't have the time to think about. So a perfect representation of an advisory committee. Thank you to all of you.”

“Elizabeth, may I ask a question? Elizabeth, is there any storage room in that building currently planned? One of the things that I'm thinking about is we have residents who will request Oh, what is it called? We have buggies for people who have trouble getting to the beach. So there are chairs, I think, with the big balloon tires. I'm thinking of some of the other ADA equipment that the town owns. I'm wondering if there is a storage place there. It might be a great opportunity to have them request them. We can give them to them. They return them there. Just a thought. Yes, I think we could…”

“Okay. Elizabeth, something that I would ask that you consider as well as the town staff that is involved. I had a resident reach out to me a while back with absolutely wonderful ideas. There is a community of tourists who go to different places based on their availability of events for autistic children actually there's a there's a whole range of people and once you show the world that you are one of those places they flood to you in the summer time when they're on vacation because they know that we are thinking about their children they have some special needs she has given me wonderful…”

“I think in addition to the staffing costs, we've heard about the operating costs, the increase in water, electricity. I shouldn't say water, but electricity bills, pumps, things that can break down. I don't know if you have that priced out separately that we can weigh that as an idea separately.”

“Perfect. And then one last thing is a question perhaps for Will. Will the grant, the CDBGDR grant, allow us to add these extra features that were not there and be a I should say an eligible expense. I think that is something we need to be very careful of.”

“I have one last question and then I'll let you continue. And this may be for town management as well as joy. We like to keep our community engaged. Um, we know that there are parameters. We are, you know, we're not going to give up the grant money. Nobody wants to do that. So we have parameters, but, um, have you worked with the board cab folks at all? Is this the first time, Joy, you're seeing some of these plans? How do we interact? And when, if it is appropriate, do we show some things to the community? And are there opportunities to get input or it's kind of locked down? Just thinking…”

“And in addition to that, like we asked the folks at Newton Park, if you could consider work with us to look for things that the pool may have that speak specifically to children that are autistic. That could make one more place that we have a destination for those types of families. That would be wonderful.”
