“So I'm looking at an email that was provided to me when I was asking about this earlier here. And this is an email from an individual at the, uh, the state Florida department of, uh, state, um, to, uh, the town manager. And it says per our conversation and upon review of the lease agreement, there are no conditions in the lease that prohibit or require any funds generated by using the land be used in any particular manner.”

“SO I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO THE FUND 172. SO WE APPARENTLY HAVE CONFLICTING DIRECTION HERE. WE HAVE EMAILS THAT SAY DIFFERENT THINGS. I'D LIKE TO SEE US GO BACK AND GET AN UPDATED OPINION ON THAT. AND AS WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO ESTABLISH OUR POLICIES FOR THE SPECIAL FUNDS, WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW THAT IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THE POLICY. SO I THOUGHT I HAD THAT EMAIL YOU TALKED ABOUT. I THOUGHT I HAD ALL THE INFORMATION. THIS IS RELATED TO THIS. TO ME, WE HAVE A CONFLICT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE STATE ON THAT.”

“OK so on the the the budget message at the I'm assuming is the same like largely in in both the both proposals here and I'd say it's a good improvement over what we've seen in the past. It's a good story. A couple questions related to the story is that on page 10 of the package here, which is below the chart of the millage rates, You know, in here it says, at this millage rate, no additional capital projects move forward, including stormwater and street paving. So it's kind of a low-key message there to me. I thought that was probably more of a bumper sticker type of message. and that that.…”

“Package pages of us are talking about. All right, so the point being that the stormwater, the large reason of the way you get to the 4.6 is that there's no money really being added for stormwater. So it's contingent largely, the stormwater hinges on the bond passing. And so I think that message needs to be highlighted in this package.”

“So that's not enough to do the base in 10 work. I guess I guess the. If the bond doesn't get approved and this would be the budget at that 4.6 is approved. What do you what is your answer to the residents in base in 10 then regarding their their stormwater project.”

“So largely you'd be coming back to the commission to ask to access the reserves funds largely?”
Town Commission · Sep 3, 2026

“Also, related to accessing reserves, we had previously agreed that we would have a draft of the reserve policy by the time we got to this point in the budget discussion. Do we have that draft of the reserve policy?”

“IN THESE MESSAGES, I WAS ALSO COMMUNICATED TO, YOU KNOW, SOME Commitments that I was looking to have Made in regards to in the budget either either way either way you go here. So the one was the the reserve policy And we had previously had decided agreed here that we would have a draft at this point, which we don't also was looking for a commitment to a mid-year budget review and And I thought that could have been contained in your budget message to do that. And that we should have been in here.”

“There's also a commitment I was looking for, you know, that we had a special fund management policy as well. And I gave time, you know, frames in there in quarter, you know, based on quarter for doing those. So I'd really think those need to be a part of this message. I mean also and the other commitment was that we had a a full stormwater and road costs projection. So that the citizens residents taxpayers of the town understand the complete picture of what we think is out there for for all you know outside of what the bond. IS GOING TO START TO ADDRESS THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE COMPLETE PICTURE…”

“not sure he's done but i don't mean to i don't mean to interrupt so then then the you added the in in your budget message you added the um the um the section on the debt which um thank you for for doing that um what but what's not in there for the debt is the um the bond and and then of course that would at this point would be a tentative but it could be presented that way as tentative as to what we think that would be because if that, then there would be a first, so we kind of have, there's an idea of what the first draw is and what the cost principal interest and the millage, associated…”
Town Commission · Sep 3, 2026

“I would say in the debt section that we put a best guess of what you think the bond would be, and what you think you have in mind is the first draw if we're talking about two million or three million and then what the Millage rate associated would be that I mean the interest rate is going to be subject to the market at that that time as well by in you we could state it as you know This is tentative. We can we can update it once We get to that point if we get to that point and with the accurate numbers. And you have some projections from the bond salesman to use for interest rates and…”

“I agree with your reasoning. Yeah, you can totally categorize it make it clear this is tentative, this is not final, it will be updated when and if the bond is formalized. But I mean right now there's no information other than if people were come to the, came to the meetings and got the packages that related to the bond, there's nothing public facing out there, there's nothing on our website or really highlighting it to know that it's out there.”

“So I'd be happy to, I guess... maybe added since we're talking millage rate i guess at this point uh... i could add as a motion to whatever later or i can add it as a uh... modification to them the motion that's here now i uh... yes other next time uh... would it be sufficient the uh... information”
