“Because it comes from tourism, CITT, it wouldn't necessarily affect the millage rate, but we can add that in there as, I mean, it would be helpful for you.”

“All right. Let's grab it. Let's grab it under $400,000 from tourism. There you go. It's $250,000 for water taxi, $150,000 for tennis center coverage for now.”

“The tennis, the coverage for it. So we've gotten different pricing. So we're looking at the lower end as opposed to a higher end. We're going to look at rebuilding that whole area anyways.”

“Of where it's holding? All right, we'll have to review it and see where it's holding, but yeah. I mean, any major expenses need to come before us anyway, so we would see that. But yeah, the assumption is with the onboarding of a CFO or a financial director, again, that takes care of that. I mean, this was brought in to provide, was it a triage? What?”

“There'll be some offset later. So even, I mean, to the point, even if we don't get to lower, I guess, the rate, we get to throw some money back hopefully at the end of the year that we don't spend. But we'll see. We'll try to tighten it up before the next meeting. All right, so I guess I'll follow up. I'll send you the list that we put together so we have that that we're discussing.”

“I'm assuming there's and I guess that's a good question we have a one of the items that we have on with the HR administration is that town-wide study to ensure that we are within market rate and we're paying and compensating our people is that is there is there an assumption of compensation raises you know is that being allocated for for this year Not just Sandra.”

“I think everybody, all directors, everybody that we're looking to bring back up need to have that. So is that in there?”

“No, not at all. I mean, I don't think the town has done an assessment or a study on what the current rates are for the roles that we have. Non-union don't get to, you know, they get to renegotiate that periodically. But as far as our directors, if we want to take care of the staff that we have, we should be looking for that.”

“By the way, you're taking away all our negotiating power. I'm just telling you. Again, I think to bring it back into today's meeting, which is to make sure that we have, and I think the answer was that we have money, because I think not just Sandra, but a lot of directors here there was something lacking in the last few years. That study wasn't done. We wanna make sure that everybody working here doesn't wanna be looking at the next city to see if they could be making a little bit more. So we wanna make sure that we are paying market rate at the very least and everyone is compensated for…”

“So what happens when it comes back and everybody's getting $20,000 more?”
Town Commission · Aug 27, 2026

“I vote we take away street ends. All right. Yeah, I think, I mean, technically there's about $150,000, a little bit more, $200,000 still without moving anything. So let's see...”

“In theory, yeah, there's 250 left roughly from the 2.9 that we pulled out.”

“So maybe to keep everybody from leaving, we should throw something in the budget since we have some of the numbers in there.”

“All right. Yeah, I think, again, Senator, if you can sit with Andrea, we'll put this together. You'll have some money to play with. We've got a budget for it. I'd rather budget ahead of time than keep getting caught off guard. Again, we don't know what that number is, but let's make some assumptions, I guess.”
