“If I may, I would say qualified residents shall be eligible to obtain an annual pass and let the qualification be the administrative qualifications. I wouldn't even say all town. I would just say qualified residents. Because in the future that qualification may change and it might just be only vehicles that are registered as the residents. Yeah, and then you, I mean, yeah. That's an administrative change that would make the qualification.”

“The reason I say that should be removed is because at the budget discussions, you said, Commissioner Reed, that you rated the parking funds, and I don't think that at the rate that we're putting money back in that we should be rating the parking funds when the parking funds are supposedly be going towards the parks. Instead of taking money out of the reserves in the future to replace the playground equipment, which is just escalating in price, we should be saving the money for the parks. And removing number four would help save money for the parks.”

“That's what I disagree with. I don't think that money should be going anywhere except for the parks because I truly believe that the status of our parks is what helps our residents with their home prices. I think that keeps the home values up. And I think that it serves the community by keeping that money in there to make sure that they're maintained. As I've said in the past, I've witnessed what happens when they're not maintained, when there is no money. So I firmly believe that money should stay in the funds. And I believe that your point about the other parks other than Ocean and Rickman,…”

“But the only problem with that statement is that the capital projects in those funds do not show a realistic number of what the replacement costs are. We're just putting in a dollar amount and we're not tying that dollar amount to the actual replacement costs. So I believe if we did have the- Can you give me an example?”

“We just decided to put $25,000 a year into capital. I can pull out a brochure and show you that a jungle gym is over 500,000. So if you want us to go and pull out actual equipment, then tie it to the budget, then you'll see that those numbers are not realistic. So.”

“May I interject? I believe that we're going to be going to a computer program. And I believe that the money comes in by parking space number. And I believe that the parking space number would indicate what park the money is being generated from. And that would just be a bookkeeping computer spreadsheet, if you will.”

“But when you're getting the money, that should be when you put a percentage in there to, okay, we're getting the money and so we're gonna put this in reserve because then if it's needed, somebody could come along and say, we need to take money from the reserves and that's when the other part of this kicks in.”
