“It was just an internal conversation. I don't remember what we gave him in development rights, and I'm sure code enforcement... We'll ask the attorney next that question, but if you have any questions of...”

“The only question I had was in terms of enforcement. You know, I think I spoke to the city manager on this. We moved the burden over to the constructor developer. How do we make sure that they are complying? How do we make sure the boxes are ticked? What is the consequences of them not doing?”

“Mayor, the question was more of operations like process oriented internally on how we're going about doing that. I mean, I know the answer. I just wanted to make sure that we all understood how efficient it's going to be. I mean, you could just give a quick update on how the checklist goes off, like the process, and to make sure it's checked off.”

“So I know we've spoken a lot about having tree inventory and trying to understand all the stuff that's on the easement. So this would need to fall into that. I think that we need to understand what the cost of the equipment, if we decide to do it ourselves, or the cost of set contract, if we need to do that across the city. Look, I think we all want trees pretty much everywhere. I know in my neighborhood, for example, my neighbors are adamant about protecting their trees on the easement. They will not let anybody touch them. So we got to tread this one a little bit carefully here. I'm OK with…”

“Thanks, Chase. I really appreciate everything you and the Budget and Finance Committee have done. I've been part of that committee. I know how it goes. It's a lot of work and you guys put a lot of time and effort, so I appreciate that. I know this year's budget is a little bit in a question mark due to the impeding tax reductions. We don't know what's going to happen yet. We don't know whether voters are going to go with it, but we've started to look at that. I think that one of the things that most of us did when we first came on board was that we knew we wanted to redevelop and get a lot of…”

“so if you go back to one slide it wasn't crystal clear that you are making a recommendation moving forward with the uh with the storm water allocation of the revenue through our current taxes or are we going to kind of move back into utilities which i happen to be a fan of so i just wanted to see if you were providing recommendation here today or not really yet”

“If I can add to that too, doing the storm study, storm drain study really gives us the opportunity to go get more grants as well. So that's, I mean, you need to have the study in place to make sure we can go do that. So that will also help all the funding that we're hopefully going to get here in the future and give us the ability to get grants so we can do more with it.”

“By the way, I agree with you. One of the things that we spoke about when we approved our legislation was to approve the $300,000 for the first year. We had never really contributed to the underline at all. Most of the cities and counties and municipalities had, not us, right? And I think what we all agree is that let's try it one time for a year to see how it goes. If it doesn't go the way that we want it, it takes 10 days to put down some vandalism or trees are being knocked down and not put up. Let's try it first and see what happens. We all agree, by the way. I think we all agree. I think…”

“I mean, there's a lot of little questions that I have, but, you know, I'll go back with pencil and go back and start getting all the questions answered. I mean, we've been doing that. I know CIP was more of what we focused on, but I appreciate where we are right now. Thank you.”

“thank you further questions uh yeah mayor you recognize sir thank you um you were able to provide some documentation based on budgets and all that so i think that the only issue that i see for a two hundred thousand dollar uh it's not recurring right it's a one-time yes fun and you're staffing right so we staff only for one year or I don't know how long that will last. I think I just want to see that, like what your plan is, what's your plan for the $200,000 so I can understand it better and kind of make a decision based on that. I do know that we'd have other opportunities that we need to…”
