“and then construction yeah perfect um my last question is um around um the waterfalls the structures and staffing do we know i'm not sure if you know this answer neil maybe you have some input or will I'm worried about, because kids can hide behind them, will we need additional staff to make sure they have eyes on every area of the pool? How will that change our staffing needs? Do we know that, or is that still something we need to discuss?”

“Because that's something that I'm not sure if it would need to get in the budget this year, but it's something we are going to have to ask the community if they are willing to allow us to add staff and the expensive staff because they see the value in this beautiful design. Neil, do you have any comments on that that you would want to add?”

“Well, that's something I want to keep us in front of mind because we are asking our residents every day, is this service worth it to you? And those are things we'll have to keep in mind. So I thank you, Neil. I'm sure you keep that in the front of your mind as well as we'll. That's it for me, Mayor.”

“I don't think it's the event or give up three spaces, Mayor. I'm sorry, I don't. That's fine. It is. I mean, these people have funds. They have generously donated a lot of money to our organizations. That's wonderful. That's wonderful. I just want to know what it costs the taxpayers. That's all. Okay.”

“I have a few. Yep, go ahead. So I, too, want to thank Chris and John and everyone who worked on this. I love when people know their roles, especially me. One thing I'm wondering if we could add to this, perhaps for the staff liaison role, is that when the committees are meeting and discussing things, they can understand what part of our strategic plan they are discussing. And then as a counselor liaison, we can come back and say this is misaligned or this should be reconsidered so that we don't start work going down a path that the whole community and everyone has already signed off on in our…”

“Yes. So, Talisa, I think it's fair to say that the insurance, I think maybe you answered it, the insurance renewal runs the same calendar year as our fiscal year or close to it. Are you speaking of how our claims run against our fiscal year? No, signing up for a new package. Are they 10-1 through 9-30?”
