“Well, I was just going to say, I'm glad you brought that up because that was a part of our conversation when we passed the public safety sales tax. We didn't want to just have, oh, sweet, we can take this money and then free a more general fund. We wanted to do it with the emphasis of increasing investment in public safety.”

“To do that sort of, I guess, conditional action where we're specifically temporarily reducing reserves in order to fund some proactive measures, is that... simply something that we could do in the budget process being that specific? Okay. Yeah, we've done that in the past.”

“I was just going to say, I mean, to me, I would appreciate a little bit of a deeper dive on some of this stuff and so i just put out there i'd entertain one of our future study sessions kind of looking at piff tiff credits what's hanging out there like just a deeper dive you know what maybe some of our financial exposure is like expirations and all this all the stuff i think just a focused look at that i would appreciate at least i just put that out there for”

“I don't necessarily want to follow that one, but you know. No, Chief, it was, the Guild spoke about it as well, like to spend your entire career in one community, the other one in the community that you grew up in is absolutely remarkable. You know, the impact that you've had on Ridgefield is gonna be felt for generations, and so I just really thank you for the service, the heart, the literal heart that you gave us at the stoplight, and just for everything that you've done. So thank you, and congratulations.”

“Yeah, thank you, Mayor. I really appreciate this, because I think access in our city should be one of our highest priorities. I guess... I mean, obviously, you prepped us. We're gonna get some big numbers, right, in terms of noncompliance. But you also said that some of them are due to, you know, it's 4.9 out of five, or it has to do with more topography. I guess my curiosity, and I don't wanna hold you to this, some exact number, but I'm trying to get an idea what percentage of the outstanding issues would be reasonably considered probably almost unfixable, right? If we have a... if it's a…”

“Yeah, just one more thing to follow up as I'm sort of going through. I realize that this is sort of establishing that plan, and we have an inventory that we're going to be able to work off of. And I start thinking about... how we're gonna tackle it. And it's sort of a similar conversation that we've had with parks. Do we wanna tackle like one big one each year? Do we wanna sort of inch up a handful of them? And so I think about Okay, we got a finite amount of money to be able to address some of these each year. Do we take the little hanging fruit, or do we prioritize ones that have a major…”

“YEAH, I'M STILL FORMULATING IT, BUT I GUESS, YEAH, THAT LAST PIECE, THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND INSPECTION SERVICES WILL ALSO BE SHARED. I'm assuming it's a 50-50 split, and we're just kind of assuming, we're viewing this as a one large project. But if there's one area that becomes a consistent issue, does that still stay with shared cost, or is it seen as, well, this is a shared project, not a your side, our side kind of a thing?”

“Yeah, thank you, Mayor. Looking at the lease term, I see that we're still in negotiation for the lease rate and going up a couple of elements there. The term is 30 years of the city right to two additional 10-year extensions. So I would say are the parameters for how those 10-year extensions going to be determined in the current negotiations? I mean, we're not gonna set the extension rate now for 30 years ahead, right? But when 30 years from now, when it gets time to consider that extension, are there gonna be parameters in this negotiation we're doing right now that kinda outline what that…”

“I mean, I agree with that segmentation, like the 30 and then the 10 and the 10. I don't know, that's just something that kind of stood out to me was having an understanding of whatever framework would be in place for determining what those extension values would be. So I guess maybe the ask is to see what we can find, right? What can we find? Are there some examples of where that would make sense?”

“Yep. I just have a niche one and that is can you explain the shared pool cost and the agreement That will pay the initial pool deposit. I'm just curious where that Came from what the history is with that.”

“Okay. But it sounds like that's a unique, because it's called out, like unique for the rec side of it. Yeah, it is.”

“Okay. And then it kind of squared up because we're not paying for other elements always directly. So it's kind of squaring up on another side.”

“Councillor Davis, I guess it's not as much a question is just, uh, you know, clarifying. We are talking about the tiff rate for the overlay, not. It's not counting the citywide TIF rate, correct?”

“Thank you. Yeah, so I'd say maybe that one highlight was Tuesday I got to ride the bike bus with the kiddos so I cruised down with about 25 kids that go to Union Ridge started up at the top of Hillhurst and Crew's gone down. They've got that cool mural down at Union Ridge now that they park their bikes in front of. And so I'm really, I love seeing that happen. And it was convenient that one of our officers was just approaching the intersection of Hillhurst and Pioneer right as we were coming in. So he just sort of shut it down. And we had all the kids cruise through, and they kind of got a…”
