So does BRA have any responsibility as the operator of the plant? for any of this, or ultimately just rolls up, I guess, to the owner as the responsible party? Yeah, essentially that's what happens, correct. And so the $36,000 of the city of Temple is being fined. Is that just our three quarters? And so Belton's getting $12,000?”

“As long as corrective action is taken within all the time limits Uh, we saved 36,000, but we pay our portion of $165,000. Correct. Which we were planning it to do anyways. Okay.”

And the overall appraised values in Temple, on average, the average home, we always talk about the average home, dropped from I think it was roughly $220,000 down to $190,000. Doesn't mean that every home dropped that percentage, but I just think it's important that we take a minute to explain that. The reason why the, to collect the exact same amount would be the .7541.

We struggle doing that at our own homes, and imagine doing that across, across the city that has so many needs. And so as we always do, I just want to, again, commend staff on a difficult tax year.
