“Thanks for coming before us. There's several issues here that and the main 1 council member Lord said was was precedents setting a precedence because if if we were to prove this. We open up a floodgate of people doing whatever they want, whenever they want. And again, not blaming you. I highly blame your contractor and then whoever installed it and whoever gave you the information and told you that they got permits. Unfortunately, I'm going to use this word. They lied to you. Okay. That's something that you're going to have to deal with with them. My recommendation probably get them to move…”

“The issue is more than just you wanting to pay to get all these things taken care of. It really is. And it's going to set a standard that that is going to hurt our other residents down down the road residents that have realized in the same structure and the same size property. He's already explained to you that you can submit that that information to him and will our code compliance guys will go out and they'll, they'll reevaluate that too. You know, maybe, maybe they do or don't have permits or whatever the case may be. We, we don't know that yet. And he doesn't even know that yet because he…”

“Okay. So the total then ends up being 1.1 million overall, the nine, the 988 that we're short plus the 1 23, if we approve that. So we're looking at about 1.1 million, right? No, no, no.”

“I'm not against going forward with that. You're right. They shouldn't be held responsible for something that was unforeseen. But would it be more prudent to find out what's going to happen with the... With the homes home, homestead tax situation and how that affects us. I mean, I don't know what our total numbers.”

“Good evening. All right. Thanks for the presentations. You know, pretty good presentation. I have been on the fence a little bit because I'm not a huge fan of developers getting something approved and then coming back and trying to ask for more and more and more. But Live Local actually kind of created that, so we kind of have to live within those confines. Basically, it kind of boils down to, do we have 322 units that are actually split in threes to accommodate different generations? And also for people that are first responders, teachers, and such. Or do we say no, and we have 644 units…”

“I, too, would like to thank town manager and staff for all the hard work. And the information gathering, I'm sure, wasn't done overnight. So, I mean, it takes a lot of work to do that. I also want to thank the vice mayor, who has kind of kept us up on construction facts over the last several meetings, which gives us a little bit more insight on why it would take longer and everything like that. So I appreciate that. We are the keeper of the funds, all right? We are responsible to make sure that every dollar in this town is spent the way it's supposed to be. And to me, it just doesn't make…”

“Councilman Ramirez, you recognize? If we can, if the town manager would give us a little update as far as, because I believe at some point in order to do some of these repairs, we have to actually raise the pool. We have to raise the pool from its foundation and do repairs underneath. That's not where we're at anymore?”

“First off, thank you, Council Member Lord, for your deep dive. That was very interesting and very, you know, information, you know, just put out there like that, and Council Member Duncan as well. So I have a question. Like the hypotheticals here, let's say that they do the whole study and everything, and, you know, we can do it for $300,000, all right? What is the lifespan of those repairs going to be on that pool? Is it going to be two years, five years, another 40? So it's an estimate. I know there's probably not a solid answer, but what would the appropriate lifespan be? And before you…”
