“I know things come up totally unplanned, but we choose dates early on in the year. And because a wedding, your nephew's graduation, whatever, vacation plans, we cannot be changing our schedule so frequently. People are used to us meeting a certain date. We have published those dates. You know, we have to keep track. Not only that, now, Our village clerk has to go back and see who has a meeting and that day that's a major conflict for us so we cannot hold it, whether it's the school board, the county, whatever. We can't be changing like that.”

I realized that the values that we have posted there were to incentivize, but there was an incentive that you build within the first 48, first 24 months. It was done in increments. Shoma was one of the ones that this commission at the end gave in to what was…”

“Okay. Yeah. Okay. Madam Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to defer no later than August. That gives us four months to do the study. I'd like to know the properties that I mentioned that are all in par, that have all purchased CDRs, giving it the highest level that they can build, each one, depending on their location.
