Our tax bill for our family place on the lake.

Yep. Tell me about it.

8:39•Speaker 1

16.3% increase.

8:40•Speaker 3

That's not surprising, unfortunately. I know.

8:44•Speaker 2

Close to my office across the street, it was 1.6 or 1.8. Yeah.

8:49•Speaker 3

Yeah, it's a lot. It is a lot. So that's the 50 days out of Colchester. I guess. Not really.

9:03•Speaker 2

Oh, it's 6.30. It is 6.30. We jump up and down.

9:08•Speaker 1

I think we're going to pass on the secretary. Yeah. You have a pressure of a little more, man.

9:16•Speaker 2

Yeah. That's your job as a mayor. That's something very good. Always somebody else.

9:21•Speaker 1

Yes, they need something good.

9:22•Speaker 2

What's that? Always somebody else. Okay, so that's done. Planning and zoning update.

9:32 – 10:07•Speaker 1

Yeah, so I sent this around a couple weeks ago, so it is a little dated now, but I realized I hadn't done one of these in a while, and I typically, I don't know how, it's my infrequent regular planning and zoning update. So in here, I just... went over all the permits that have been issued in the city in FY 2006. And just a summary of how, of the breakdown of the permits issued. So 50 zoning permits issued.
