“Thank you, Mayor Johnson. Administrator Allen, thank you for the work you've put into this presentation, and I know we've been having these discussions for a while, so thank you and everyone involved in getting this information together. I have a few questions. My first question is in regards to the five point, I'm just going to use like round numbers, in regards to the 5.8 million, is that, how much of that is allocated to contractors? All of that is all of that. Okay, awesome. So that means that these numbers that we've created, we've used our current contract pricing. Right? Because these…”

“Okay. So with that, I know we've had some discussions. I've mentioned it on the floor before as it pertains to having... THE WAY WE PUT THEM OUT. SO I RECENTLY AND MAYOR JOHNSON, MAY I ADDRESS ATTORNEY PLUNKETT? YES, MA'AM. ATTORNEY PLUNKETT, I HAD RECENTLY ASKED SOME QUESTIONS SOME MONTHS AGO REGARDING RFIs. and sources sought so request for information that way when we're putting this out there before we actually do our RFQ are we getting just a gauge as to how much these contractors would charge for these services? Do you have an answer as to whether or not we have in the past practice…”

“Okay. And it's not just to gauge who's going to respond, but also as we start to talk about pricing. And I don't know whether or not it's common practice for us to do firm fixed pricing in any of our contracts versus allowing the contractors just to submit their proposals in their dollar amounts.”

“Thank you, Attorney Plunkett. Administrator Allen, yes. That information is pertinent to making this decision because if we don't have a gauge, the $5.8 million is what we're currently paying, but we're saying that we're putting these contracts back out for bid. And so in doing that, we don't know what's going to come back to us. I would like answers to the questions that I just posed to Attorney Plunkett, and I know you'll be working with him on answers to those questions. My next question is regarding Everything that I'm looking at in the draft budget allocation is what we are currently…”

“Okay, and thank you for that response. The RFI question was actually a question that I asked the very first presentation and I was told that I was putting the cart before the horse and I was moving ahead of things. When in fact, if we're wanting to get a clearer picture of what the budget would be, that is a tool that we could use to do that. Because when you're doing requests for information and sources sought, you're actually going out and you're saying about how much would these services cost. And then we can decide if we want to offer firm fixed pricing, if that is industry standard or…”

“Thank you, Mayor Johnson. First of all, I want to thank everyone that came up today to present on the data centers. And not just for today, but your diligence in consistently coming before us, making sure that we hear you. I was honored to be able to go to the NACO conference these past few days, and there were quite a few data center discussions. And some of those individuals that stood out the most was the Honorable Jessica Fitzwater from Frederick County, Maryland, as well as Vice Chair Mike Turner from Loudoun County, Virginia, who wrote a white page that I'll actually be sharing. But one…”

“Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. In addition to extending the moratorium, I echo the same sentiments as my colleague, Commissioner Wimberly, that we do need to look at the 60 days. But I also implore my colleagues to review the planning commission meeting. And the notes from the planning commission meeting, it is on YouTube. Oftentimes I'll tune in via watching it on YouTube, but that way you can actually hear what the commissioners, you know, what their quorums were. As far as why we need to put a hold on this, I know that some of it did have to do with the decibels being too high, as well as…”

“Okay, so with those numbers, what I would like to see happen, what I would like to propose is finance, engineering, our administrator's office comes together because we're not at the end of the year. We are in July and these areas have to be taken care of. It's one thing when we're looking at code enforcement issues and it's, And I'm just using this as an example, Commissioner Rice, because I know your lawn is immaculate. So when we're looking at Commissioner Rice's lawn and it's her fault, that's code enforcement, right? But when we're looking at our right-of-ways, when we're looking at our…”

“And so that definitely is a viable solution. We can definitely adopt some of these areas. We see it when we go to other major cities. So that is something that we can do. But I can't wait till January of 2027. I can't. And my constituents can't either. So we are going to do something about this. Mayor Pro Tem Guilfoyle, you have the floor, sir.”

“Thank you so much, Mayor Pro Tem Guilfoyle. I do have two of my other colleagues in the queue. Before I go to you, I would like to address a few things that Mayor Pro Tem brought up, some very valid, great points. I am so glad to hear that you are on board with incentives. We all know that our Augusta Land Bank Authority, it's state-owned. ordain and so that is why we have it because the state knew that we needed land bank authorities to be able to work certain real estate transactions that our local municipal bodies could not necessarily do without having to procure real estate professionals…”
