“Just to make a record, I'm not really telling you how to vote. I just want to clarify a couple things. Also, my next question would be, it's probably mostly for city manager and probably the rest of the departments. So if the bond does not pass, so what's going to happen with those projects that we've been discussing? Obviously, we already have one project fully funded, which is the Coxambas Bridge. I remember one of the department directors told me that they might have to start a GoFundMe page or something like that. But it's to put a set aside. So what would be the consequence if the bond…”

“I just want to clarify, when I started this conversation, it was clarifying the language in a referendum on a ballot. I did not any means did suggest to vote yes or no on it. I trust in intelligence of this community, and I know you will make the whatever you decide. It's up to you. And Greg Goller did say we will give you an opportunity to you make the choice. They made fun of us when we had our own tax pledge, remember? So that's all I had to say. I'm not promoting or denying anything. Thank you.”

“Thank you. Councilor Goldler. Councilor Champagne, I think you are so generous with your money and with residents' money, too, with all due respect. So here is my question, my problem with the increase in millage. We know what we need is infrastructure in our town. Yes, we do need a lot of work, without a doubt. City, our staff is recommending us here it is, balanced budget, stay with millage neutral. And let's give the citizens opportunity to decide on a referendum. If they want to stay where they are, then they will vote no. If they want to fix what's going on in our town, then they will…”

“Counselor Goehler? I have three items. First of all, while Jeff is still here, Jeff, I would like to follow up on the one of the speakers spoke earlier about the rates for the hotels.

“Okay. Well, thank you very much, and please give our best from all of us. Thank you. Another question would be – I think chief is gone. I don't know who can answer. Has anybody heard about this flock traffic cameras that everybody's talking about, how they're collecting all the data? And I just have a question. I don't know who to ask about it, but chief is gone probably. I'll just”

“We have the license reader already once you come over the bridge. We already have it. But now that we are talking about upgrading our cameras, the traffic signals, and it's supposed to have a data center in there that's supposed to be like an AI. They are collecting all the information of driver's license, I mean, the license plates. So I just need some answers about it if you have any.”

“I just have one comment. Please. I'm very much supportive of that we have residents here, and they are very much bothered by pickleball. games and the noise and everything. And I do support that we need to study, and that's why Council Schwann brought it up. But I had several conversations from people who live in HOA. And for us to turn around and tell the HOA, to what they can do in their development. It's out of our jurisdiction. So I just have that any zoning, that's kind of my issue is.”
