“Yes, I did find one inconsistency that I think needs to be addressed. So this is on page 45 of the clean draft that's ahead, that's in front of us. And two paragraphs above section 9.3. It talks, in the last sentence there, this is in 2025, the bridge recorded 69 openings, most of which were for maintenance and training. These values have continued to decrease year after year. Well, that second, that very last sentence, I think, is correct. I have the 2025 lift logs. They have 94 operations, including 57 vessel-related operations.

“So just a follow-up to that, are there any services that are that were funded under the previous process that would no longer qualify for the current process?”

“You were talking about some of the programs that might not qualify currently, and some of them were things that we might be able to use CDBG funds and other housing funds for. So explain to me, like some of these under neighborhood services, we have heirs property and housing preservation. How is that not coming out of?”

“Today is the autumnal equinox for everyone who celebrates. Happy first day of fall, y'all. So it's the astronomical beginning of fall in the Northern hemisphere. So the days are approximately, today the day is approximately the same length as the night. But the good news is that the days are getting shorter. So we have fewer hours of sunlight.
