“I mean, look, if we can make it easier to get a certificate of use so that we can then snatch it when there are violations, But the impediments that were in place in that first draft to get a certificate of use was a whole other story for me. But pardon me, I'm getting out in the weeds. We've been here since five o'clock. All right. We have a motion in front of us. Is there any further comment? We have a motion for a relief to the tune of 5% plus cost with credit for the $7,000 already paid. ANY FURTHER FROM COUNCIL OR STAFF? WELL, LET'S HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS ONE.”

“That takes us to tab 5. Correct. It'd be more talk on this than the last one. All right, so we, but wait a minute. Not so fast. So I guess in short, this is an expenditure of, Almost $47,000 to add the championship seal to the one water tower out by the racetrack at the city's sole expense to be, as I understand, removed by year end together with the 250 logo in between now and then we decide what's going to go on there. Also my understanding that the operator of the track has declined to contribute to this effort. Is that correct?”
