It's really hard to get 113 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,680 actual time. 114 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,240 The project that I have been working on 115 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,800 has reached two flaws. Plus number one 116 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,039 is that there seems to be no follow-up 117 00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:13,280 emails from the city or 118 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:15,120 um any emails that seem to have been 119 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,199 sent out from the city to the grant 120 00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,759 managers making it impossible for us to 121 00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:22,560 receive any grant funding this year. 122 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,479 John, can you be clear what you I'm not 123 00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:27,360 sure when the automatic uh grant for 124 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,280 automatic snow removers for our 125 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,600 sidewalks. Uh for the people who don't 126 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,960 know, I've been working on this project 127 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,280 for 2 years and in the process of these 128 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,400 two years um 129 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,680 trying to get all of the paperwork 130 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,919 together for April. Um the last date 131 00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:46,240 that it can be submitted to my 132 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,400 understanding is August 1st for uh any 133 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,919 type of 2027 funding. 134 00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:56,240 So if we do get a grant out, it will be 135 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,960 2028. The problem that we're going to 136 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,160 run into is twofold. Number one, we are 137 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,120 processing currently a voter amendment 138 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,000 to restrict data management in the town 139 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000 support that will have a direct effect 140 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,240 to how much we can actually get if it 141 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,639 goes through. It's what I've spoken to 142 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,440 earlier about unintended consequences. 143 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,000 Currently each one of the individual 144 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,360 machines counts as a data collection 145 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,199 uh computer and the whole uh system 146 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:33,919 would have been 147 00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:36,000 uh funneled in the overall management 148 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,360 and I'm not really sure under the 149 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,039 ordinance how that would work. I haven't 150 00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:41,680 really gotten into it, but with the 151 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,520 amount of sidewalks we have, the 152 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,919 buildings that we use, it would 153 00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:49,919 definitely go over the 12,000 square ft 154 00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:52,240 um 155 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,400 collection. So, that's something to be 156 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,560 considered since we are considering 157 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,639 action on that at some point either by 158 00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:01,039 voter or by council. The other problem 159 00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:04,720 we're running into is we are now 3 years 160 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,599 behind. The Department of Transportation 161 00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:09,599 of Canada has been running a similar 162 00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:12,720 program within the province of Ontario, 163 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,880 which is now being expanded to Quebec 164 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,199 and to Saskatchewan to clean the 165 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:19,599 sidewalks. They have been testing and 166 00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:21,360 had great success with automatic snow 167 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,400 removal of their sidewalks. This year, 168 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,960 five communities in Ontario will be 169 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,400 getting upgraded equipment to clear 170 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,560 their streets. This equipment is an 171 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,080 autonomous snow plow that runs at about 172 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,400 15 to 20 m an hour and it could clean a 173 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,199 mile of street in about 15 minutes. 174 00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:48,880 >> It is electric. It can be ran on a power 175 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,560 grid or it can be run on autonomous 176 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,000 power such as a generator or a solar 177 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,160 power panel. 178 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,160 If we had looked at the proposal that I 179 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,800 had drafted up that has been at some 180 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,440 point 2 three years ago sent to council 181 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,840 and the city manager, we were asking for 182 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,160 $150,000. 183 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,240 This year that would have moved up to 184 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,840 $250,000 185 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,919 just because of inflation. And that 186 00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:15,680 right now as I see the project, we're 187 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,070 going to be looking at $267,000. 188 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,360 That includes, but is not limited to the 189 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,120 autonomous plows themselves, which are 190 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,960 really, really great. If you've ever 191 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,400 seen these things in action, they can 192 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,000 clear driveways in a matter of minutes, 193 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,120 blowing snow up to 8 ft in the air to a 194 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,000 direction anywhere that you choose. 195 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,320 They're really, really lovely things. 196 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,200 Um, that would include 10 of those 197 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,760 units. It would include 10 solar power 198 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,556 units. That's a 5x3 solar panel 199 00:08:50,556 --> 00:08:51,519 [clears throat] that can be plugged 200 00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:54,640 directly into the power grid. That will 201 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,720 cover the times that we lose power here 202 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,880 in Eastport. When the solar panels are 203 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,880 plugged into the power grid when they 204 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,279 are not producing power for the objects, 205 00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:05,120 they will be producing power that goes 206 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,440 back directly to the grid that the city 207 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,680 receives funding for. It would also 208 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,839 include new computers and equipment as 209 00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:14,080 well as interns from the University of 210 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,399 Maine robotics department. That's how 211 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,959 the grants had currently been uh drafted 212 00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:20,880 up. That was the cover letter that was 213 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,959 drafted up 3 years ago that has been 214 00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:25,040 sitting somewhere in city hall waiting 215 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,240 to go out in email. So, as it stands 216 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,040 right now, we're looking 217 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,519 probably at 29 before this project 218 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:36,080 should even be off the ground 219 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,959 >> because of our delays. 220 00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:41,040 Having said that, there's a similar 221 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,680 process going on in Michigan, in upper 222 00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:46,160 state Michigan. Because these devices 223 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,640 are so successful at removing snow, it 224 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,360 cuts down on the municipal 225 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,200 cost. 226 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,440 Thank you, uh, whoever said that, but 227 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,760 also cuts down on the municipal manpower 228 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,160 hours. You have to spend an incredibly 229 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,640 less amount of time for manpower hours. 230 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,880 If the project got upgraded to include 231 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,880 one or two of these new wonderful 232 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,560 autonomous 233 00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:12,720 vehicles for clean streets, which would 234 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,680 have been the obvious next place for it, 235 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:17,519 you would be looking at a significant 236 00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:20,560 reduction in the manpower hours and the 237 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:22,880 project literally pays for itself within 238 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,959 a decade. So, I am hoping by bringing 239 00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:29,600 this to the council's attention today 240 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,320 that the communications will start 241 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,839 flowing again since it hasn't flown 242 00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:36,720 since May and we can get on this for the 243 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,760 fiscal year 2029.

It's not an 310 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:06,959 acceptance. 311 00:13:06,959 --> 00:13:07,519 >> Yeah. 312 00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:08,320 >> Okay. 313 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,120 >> But thank you. 314 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:14,550 >> Thank you. 315 00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,240 And I certainly don't mean to be 316 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,639 sounding harsh, Jean.

It is. But but the 334 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,240 agenda's been posted since last Friday. 335 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,680 Nobody's read it. 336 00:13:57,680 --> 00:13:59,120 >> But thank you.

Thank you. 341 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,120 >> Hi everyone. I'm Bernie East. Um, I'd 342 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,560 like to say a few words about the voter 343 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,880 approval measure that um, the council 344 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,880 lawyers have recommended that the city 345 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,199 throw away. Uh, the voter approval 346 00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:21,040 measure, it's a sister petition to the 347 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,680 AI data center ban. We've watched the 348 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,000 data centers all over the country um, 349 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,240 circumvent local bands by rebranding 350 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,760 themselves. So sometimes they're calling 351 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,399 themselves um, remote collocation 352 00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:34,240 facilities or digital surveillance 353 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,320 centers to get around the language of 354 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,160 municipal. 355 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,480 Um for that reason, um the voter 356 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,720 approval measure would give Eastport 357 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,639 voters the right to approve hyperscale 358 00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:47,199 development in our in our on our island. 359 00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:50,240 Um we use the largest building um here 360 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,120 as our witness test. That's the former 361 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,440 Canary building at just under 25,000 362 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,639 square ft. So, what the voter approval 363 00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:03,040 um measure was hoping to do was to give 364 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:08,000 uh voters um the opportunity to 365 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,199 um accept or deny industrial development 366 00:15:11,199 --> 00:15:12,720 that's larger than the biggest building 367 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,040 that's already here. Um I think that's 368 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,040 pretty fair and it gives us cover in 369 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,800 case no m you know no matter what a data 370 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,240 center wants to call itself next year 371 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,399 and the year before and the year after. 372 00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:25,760 Um it it means that approval power still 373 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,240 stays with the voters. Uh last week the 374 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,079 city lawyers at Richmond published a 375 00:15:30,079 --> 00:15:31,920 memorandum giving the council basically 376 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,680 a blueprint to toss the voter approval 377 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,560 measure on what I think are some pretty 378 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,199 flimsy mentalities. Um they argued that 379 00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:40,720 the voter approval petition didn't 380 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,639 define the scope of temperature change 381 00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:45,600 which would count as pollution. Um but 382 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,720 on reviewing Eastport's own city codes, 383 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,199 uh Eastport city codes don't define 384 00:15:51,199 --> 00:15:53,680 pollution either. So I'm not sure why a 385 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,000 citizens initiative is being scrutinized 386 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,560 more than their own lawmakers are. Um 387 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,480 the city attorneys also cited case law 388 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,000 for why the petitions should be thrown 389 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,160 out. But both cases were situations 390 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,920 where an ordinance attempted to either 391 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,600 change the threshold for a vote to 392 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,519 succeed that would be vtown harbor of 393 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:15,360 town or harbor or whether the ordinance 394 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,199 um specified a vote must be you must use 395 00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:21,279 a secret ballot 396 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:23,040 but town conducted a vote in open 397 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,160 meeting that's uh the town of Walder. 398 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,759 Neither of our voter approval measures 399 00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:30,000 want to do any of these things. Um I 400 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000 don't think they're relevant. Now, under 401 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,800 the city charter 2.02C4, 402 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,120 the council has the power to amend any 403 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,959 public petitions before [clears throat] 404 00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:41,279 adding them to November ballot. Uh city 405 00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:43,519 lawyers are paid out of our taxes, and I 406 00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:45,360 think they should work for us. Regular 407 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,959 people shouldn't need to hire private 408 00:16:46,959 --> 00:16:49,839 attorneys to participate in democracy. 409 00:16:49,839 --> 00:16:52,079 Citizens initiatives, it's right in the 410 00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:53,680 name. They're supposed to be accessible 411 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,000 to regular people. And I think the 412 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,600 council should honor the spirit of the 413 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,800 petition and the will of the people 414 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,800 here. They should have asked city 415 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,320 lawyers to strengthen strengthen 416 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,039 policies instead of killing it. Um I 417 00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:06,480 hope the council does the right thing. I 418 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,000 hope I'm wrong. I hope they do the right 419 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,120 thing. I hope they make whatever 420 00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:11,760 ministerial changes need to be made and 421 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,360 they move the voter approval measure to 422 00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:15,919 November ballot. Uh but given the 423 00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:17,439 council's resistance to the petition 424 00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:19,199 from the start, I personally don't 425 00:17:19,199 --> 00:17:21,839 believe that will happen. Um, I hope I'm 426 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,760 wrong, but in case I'm not, the 427 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,839 commissioners committee uh has remediate 428 00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:27,199 all of the objections raised in the 429 00:17:27,199 --> 00:17:29,039 voter approval measure, and this morning 430 00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:32,400 we filed affidavit to repeat the, uh, 431 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,039 signature gathering process. 432 00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:37,039 So, this is a wildly popular initiative. 433 00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:39,440 We did it before, we'll do it again. So, 434 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,320 to council, um, do as you will. I hope 435 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,640 you guys do the right thing. Um, if you 436 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,400 don't, we'll be ready for that.

Is the service going to 519 00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:59,120 be better or is it just costing more for 520 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,240 everything? Yeah, that's what 521 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,440 >> everything is costing more for 522 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:03,919 everything. 523 00:21:03,919 --> 00:21:05,919 >> And the reason that Yeah, it's more for 524 00:21:05,919 --> 00:21:09,440 everything. But the reason I say that 525 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,600 the houses that I build, they're 20 uh 526 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,480 1,200 square f foot when they get 527 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,159 assessed right after they're finished 528 00:21:16,159 --> 00:21:18,640 and even the ones that I rebuilt, but 529 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,039 these 1,200 ft houses, they're getting 530 00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:23,600 assessed for about 3,800 in taxes for 531 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,320 the 12,200 ft house. 532 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,080 But then I see the commercial building 533 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,559 that sold for $799 on Water Street with 534 00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:34,559 a view and they're paying $3,300 535 00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:36,480 and it's been going on forever. So, it's 536 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,559 kind of a misbalance. There's a lot of 537 00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:41,280 money out there. That should be 538 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,480 collected and it should all be even. 539 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,720 Uh, 540 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,480 so it's good for the taxpayers. That's a 541 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,760 lot of money just sitting out there 542 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,080 every year that's not getting collected. 543 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,400 You know what I mean?

I'm I feel some 546 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,280 impulse to help explain because I I 547 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,679 think he's making you I typically try to 548 00:22:01,679 --> 00:22:02,960 avoid making sure we don't turn this 549 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,000 into a debate. 550 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:04,320 >> Yeah. 551 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,679 >> If I may, I'll just give some 552 00:22:05,679 --> 00:22:06,960 information here and if we need to go 553 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,280 deeper when we speak offline. 554 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,600 >> Quickly, we are in desperate need of a 555 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,600 revaluation. Part of what you're talking 556 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,320 about is is having to recalculate the 557 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,120 factors that go into assessment. I know 558 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,039 you sat with Wes for many, many hours. 559 00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:22,960 So, you put in a bunch of stuff, you get 560 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,159 a number at the end. Yeah. So we have 561 00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:28,159 now that we completed the taxation 562 00:22:28,159 --> 00:22:30,720 process. Wes has the post tax process 563 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,720 and dealing with people now that is our 564 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,559 next priority is to move forward on a 565 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,760 reevaluation. Realistically 566 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,600 one to two years just to be able to get 567 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,520 someone started because there's so few 568 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,039 people who are doing it and will do it 569 00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:44,960 out here. But we're we've accumulated 570 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,360 some things. We're moving forward. But I 571 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,200 I'm not going to speak to any particular 572 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,120 property versus another. But the general 573 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:53,840 sense that things might be out of whack, 574 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,760 that's why we do the revaluation. 575 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,919 >> But when a house sells or is fixed up, 576 00:22:57,919 --> 00:23:01,120 like Washington Street, that was $1,800 577 00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:03,840 a year 578 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,960 uh on that house for 15 years, you know, 579 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,400 >> so we can discuss this offline. At this 580 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,360 point, we'd have to look at the 581 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:10,720 individual property and see what 582 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,400 happens. So, I'll I'll pull back. 583 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,919 >> But supposedly, you could look at the 584 00:23:13,919 --> 00:23:15,919 listings, what they sold for, and go 585 00:23:15,919 --> 00:23:17,679 from there. And all he has to do is push 586 00:23:17,679 --> 00:23:19,200 the buttons. That's what he told me. 587 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,240 That's why either mine you know 588 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,600 >> again if we want to talk at this point 589 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,840 I'm not going to get into 590 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,110 argument but like I say it's all 591 00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:32,799 right that's all I have 592 00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:39,590 >> Alan thank you for your comments 593 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,600 » anyone else [snorts] from the audience 594 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:47,190 okay y 595 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,760 » I just have a quick And um when I was on 596 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,320 the disability committee, our one thing 597 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,000 that we really tried to get through was 598 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,600 the crosswalks. And we're about to get 599 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,200 thousands of people who aren't familiar 600 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,320 with our city. There's no crosswalks. I 601 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,320 wondered if you could I understand how 602 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,559 he answers to Brian. So I wonder if 603 00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:06,880 Brian could we had So we have been 604 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,720 working on the crosswalks on Water 605 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,320 Street. We've been staying off the 606 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,880 crosswalks on Washington Street because 607 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,480 both of those ADA ramps are being 608 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,120 rebuilt as part of the sidewalk project. 609 00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:21,120 We didn't see any point. It may sound 610 00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:22,640 silly, but the reflective paint we use 611 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,480 for that stuff is expensive.

So I'm not super happy about 1287 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,319 this one. Uh but I'm not sure we have 1288 00:48:12,319 --> 00:48:14,560 anything the sidewalk project is well 1289 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,440 underway. It is has been a bumpy ride. 1290 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,160 Um the those of you who may have noticed 1291 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,000 it you'll notice the part I'm working a 1292 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,920 10ft trench to put in a sidewalk. Well 1293 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,440 that's how you put in a sidewalk 1294 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:26,960 properly. Apparently I've learned you're 1295 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,640 putting you putting in drainage. There's 1296 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,280 quite a bit of drainage and then there's 1297 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,119 stone on top before you put the dirt on 1298 00:48:33,119 --> 00:48:34,800 and you go through all of that. We've 1299 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,680 had quite a run um of pipes getting 1300 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,280 broken and some other things and I've 1301 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,520 got some issues with that. This however 1302 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,160 is about whenever SUL put their initial 1303 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,480 estimate together. They estimated a uh 1304 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,119 construction timeline that's about half 1305 00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:50,880 what it actually turned is going to turn 1306 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,400 out to be. Um SU provides the clerk of 1307 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:55,920 the works who is a guy that walks back 1308 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,440 and forth, protects our interests, make 1309 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,240 sure the doing things correctly. They 1310 00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:04,079 had initially bid uh $45,000 a guy, give 1311 00:49:04,079 --> 00:49:06,160 or take a few bucks for that position. 1312 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,920 They now be twice that. Um because 1313 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:10,960 >> they started late 1314 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:12,640 >> because well, it's a combination. No, 1315 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,720 it's not that they started late. It's I 1316 00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:16,800 mean, honestly, there's an estimate in 1317 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,839 the bid package. It says this long. EMX 1318 00:49:19,839 --> 00:49:20,880 says, "No, it's going to take this 1319 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,240 long." And to be fair, at this point, 1320 00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:23,520 given what they're running into, they 1321 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,920 hit ledge yesterday. that we're going to 1322 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,400 be dealing with. Um, 1323 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,240 you know, I I it's frustrating. I 1324 00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:32,240 inherited this project. Uh, the bid 1325 00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:33,760 documents were done already. The 1326 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,160 estimates were there. We could not pay 1327 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,280 for it, in which case someone like me 1328 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:40,800 would have to go do it instead because 1329 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,960 this is a LP local project administered 1330 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,359 project. So, we are technically the city 1331 00:49:45,359 --> 00:49:47,359 is responsible for administering it. We 1332 00:49:47,359 --> 00:49:49,200 have handed those responsibilities in 1333 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,920 our plan to school. I will say the guy 1334 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,440 who's down there looking out for us is a 1335 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,359 great guy. I have no problem paying this 1336 00:49:55,359 --> 00:49:57,599 amount for the quality of what over what 1337 00:49:57,599 --> 00:50:01,119 we're getting. I believe 1338 00:50:01,119 --> 00:50:03,440 and this is a belief I am concerned 1339 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,319 about cost overruns on this project. I 1340 00:50:06,319 --> 00:50:08,880 believe this amount brings us right to 1341 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,079 based on what we have for the 1342 00:50:10,079 --> 00:50:12,319 construction brings us right to the 1343 00:50:12,319 --> 00:50:13,520 amount we thought we were going to be 1344 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,359 spending on the grant. So of this 1345 00:50:15,359 --> 00:50:17,839 additional 45 are paying 20% about 1346 00:50:17,839 --> 00:50:20,400 $8,000 $9,000. 1347 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,280 However, this is a project that once you 1348 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,040 hit the grant amount and you construct 1349 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,119 it there, you owe every dollar on top of 1350 00:50:27,119 --> 00:50:30,800 that. So, we have about $120,000. We 1351 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,640 have 120 set aside in our capital fund, 1352 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,640 which is actually more than we need for 1353 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,839 our local matchup by about $25,000. 1354 00:50:37,839 --> 00:50:39,680 I will be keeping a very close eye on 1355 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,640 this, but we've we've accepted the 1356 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,559 project.

We'd like to 1409 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,200 think that I my understanding is that 1410 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,240 you know we've already kind of put out 1411 00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:49,520 the word. We think we might be able to 1412 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:50,960 do this for primary festival and we're 1413 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,839 getting better response but um 1414 00:52:53,839 --> 00:52:55,119 >> and how's it going to affect their 1415 00:52:55,119 --> 00:52:56,640 overall budget? 1416 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,240 >> Uh they say they can manage this within 1417 00:52:58,240 --> 00:52:59,920 the budget. It's not so it's an 1418 00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:03,440 additional $1250 an hour or I have to go 1419 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,040 and do the hours off my heads but we're 1420 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,040 looking at you know less than $1,000 1421 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,040 altogether or maybe right around $1,000 1422 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,640 if I do this right. an additional cost, 1423 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,720 >> but it was in the budget. 1424 00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:16,000 >> If we're going to stay within the 1425 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,599 budget, we have a very large part-time 1426 00:53:17,599 --> 00:53:18,880 line in the budget. Maybe this is a good 1427 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:20,319 time for me to address Allen's point 1428 00:53:20,319 --> 00:53:22,160 about full-time police, which I'd like 1429 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,960 to go there. Um, during open forum, Alan 1430 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,319 Skinner made a, you know, point. 1431 00:53:26,319 --> 00:53:27,280 Wouldn't it be great to have more 1432 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,960 full-time police? I wholeheartedly 1433 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,520 agree. When I started here, we had no 1434 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,440 full-time police and only two part- 1435 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,440 timerrs that were regularly on there, 1436 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,000 basically there for administration. Um, 1437 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,599 as we've been building the police 1438 00:53:39,599 --> 00:53:43,920 department back, um, we had, uh, two 1439 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,680 police and two part and two full-time 1440 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,839 positions that we could fill. The first 1441 00:53:47,839 --> 00:53:50,079 year and a half, two years, we could not 1442 00:53:50,079 --> 00:53:51,839 keep those positions filled. It was 1443 00:53:51,839 --> 00:53:54,319 really very, very difficult. And so, we 1444 00:53:54,319 --> 00:53:56,160 moved about this time last year, I 1445 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:57,920 think, to say, you know, we have a lot 1446 00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:59,200 of people are expressing interest to 1447 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:00,880 come down in Eastport, work part-time. 1448 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,839 Can we actually make that work? We are 1449 00:54:03,839 --> 00:54:07,200 budgeted at about 2/3 coverage. In other 1450 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,559 words, the amount of money we have in 1451 00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:10,559 the budget for personnel covers us about 1452 00:54:10,559 --> 00:54:14,319 for 2/3 of 24 by7. 1453 00:54:14,319 --> 00:54:17,520 We're covering 95% of our costs at that 1454 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:18,960 level of coverage. So, I'm pretty proud 1455 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,119 of what we're doing. Having said that, 1456 00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:22,559 would we like to have another full-time 1457 00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:23,680 policeman? Would we like to offer 1458 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,599 benefits? We would. We're not budgeted 1459 00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:27,920 for that right now. We are doing some 1460 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,440 we're looking into some possible grant 1461 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:30,480 opportunities 1462 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,480 >> and that comes comes with a price to the 1463 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,960 tax dollar too far right now but yes we 1464 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,839 could certainly and round numbers let's 1465 00:54:37,839 --> 00:54:39,200 be I'm going to be as transparent as 1466 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,040 possible about this round numbers a 1467 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:42,960 full-time employee just off the top of 1468 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,440 my head I could say $100,000 because 1469 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,800 when you take uh when you take what 1470 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,400 they're being paid plus their benefits 1471 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:51,760 plus everything else it might be 1472 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,359 depending on who it is 80 it might be a 1473 00:54:53,359 --> 00:54:54,720 little bit more but it's a chunk out of 1474 00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:57,520 $100,000. So that's right now your 1475 00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,000 taxation is at about 4.2 million. I want 1476 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,359 to say if I looked at let's say 4 1477 00:55:01,359 --> 00:55:03,280 million for round numbers that's 2% of 1478 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,119 taxation. Okay. To add another employee 1479 00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:09,920 but you get rid of them part time. 1480 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:13,359 >> You get rid of most that's correct get I 1481 00:55:13,359 --> 00:55:16,079 took my glasses off and now I can't see. 1482 00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:18,160 Correct. And so this is worth talking 1483 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,319 about a budget. So I just want to 1484 00:55:20,319 --> 00:55:22,079 acknowledge that we're considering that 1485 00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:23,839 in the short term we're running with 1486 00:55:23,839 --> 00:55:26,400 partners. if you can find a full-timer. 1487 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,079 >> Yeah, 1488 00:55:28,079 --> 00:55:29,920 >> we have some hope that things are stable 1489 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,200 enough here that we might be a more 1490 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:32,720 attractive destination than we were. 1491 00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:34,160 >> PDR, 1492 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:35,760 >> but the the market of police is still 1493 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,480 kind of is still very difficult.

Financials. You've got 1810 01:05:34,079 --> 01:05:36,079 two financials. Uh, both. We have 1811 01:05:36,079 --> 01:05:38,000 details that you have from Trio, but I 1812 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,160 gave you my summaries for fiscal year 26 1813 01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,480 and 27. I'll keep giving you 26 probably 1814 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,000 one more month and I think we'll have 1815 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,079 everything that should be credited there 1816 01:05:46,079 --> 01:05:49,280 out. Um the top line number is after 1817 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,520 100% of fiscal year 26 our net is 94.6 1818 01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,319 um we're now um there are a couple of 1819 01:05:56,319 --> 01:05:57,839 items I'm going to clear up here. I 1820 01:05:57,839 --> 01:05:59,119 think there's an I think we're actually 1821 01:05:59,119 --> 01:06:01,680 in better shape than that for 26 for 27. 1822 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,359 Our insurance number is very high and I 1823 01:06:03,359 --> 01:06:04,640 think that's because we credited a 1824 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,480 fiscal year 27 payment there but I'll 1825 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,720 clarify that in three. Otherwise, I 1826 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,000 don't think anything has changed here 1827 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,319 from before. I've discussed this these 1828 01:06:12,319 --> 01:06:13,760 overages and everything and we're 1829 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:18,000 rocking the river down many times. Um, 1830 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,160 the fiscal year 27 one is less 1831 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,720 interesting because we're only 9% of the 1832 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:23,839 way through the year. I'll just point 1833 01:06:23,839 --> 01:06:25,839 out right now payroll is ahead for two 1834 01:06:25,839 --> 01:06:27,839 reasons. Tomorrow is payday, so we're 1835 01:06:27,839 --> 01:06:29,119 always right at the beginning of the pay 1836 01:06:29,119 --> 01:06:31,599 cycle. And all the July 4th overtime and 1837 01:06:31,599 --> 01:06:33,359 extra expense is being collected there 1838 01:06:33,359 --> 01:06:34,799 right now. So, that should even out as 1839 01:06:34,799 --> 01:06:37,119 time goes on. acco is high because we 1840 01:06:37,119 --> 01:06:40,960 paid the pause lease. Um, hybrid is high 1841 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,799 because I think we just received the 1842 01:06:42,799 --> 01:06:45,440 second billing for the year. Um, you 1843 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:46,880 know, we paid July at the beginning of 1844 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,400 July. We paid August at the beginning of 1845 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,480 August. Otherwise, we are currently in 1846 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,640 pretty good shape. Uh, this is maybe a 1847 01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:53,839 good point just to acknowledge. Yes, 1848 01:06:53,839 --> 01:06:55,920 indeed. Tax bills went out. We came in 1849 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:56,480 at about 1850 01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:57,359 >> Oh, we know. 1851 01:06:57,359 --> 01:06:58,799 >> Yeah, I know. I know. You didn't even 1852 01:06:58,799 --> 01:07:00,799 mean to tell. Uh, we came we ended up 1853 01:07:00,799 --> 01:07:03,359 coming in at about 7.8%. We we had 1854 01:07:03,359 --> 01:07:07,839 accepted and expenses at 7.25. 25 but 1855 01:07:07,839 --> 01:07:10,880 business t business equipment valuation 1856 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,440 goes down um and I can go we can sit 1857 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:14,799 down with Wes and talk about that but 1858 01:07:14,799 --> 01:07:16,000 that's part of what happens there is 1859 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,480 this depreciation it is however also the 1860 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,559 one place I have spoken in this meeting 1861 01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:23,599 before about how doing a revaluation 1862 01:07:23,599 --> 01:07:24,960 doesn't like helping with the homestead 1863 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:26,079 exemption from the point of view of 1864 01:07:26,079 --> 01:07:27,920 revenue everyone's homestead exemption 1865 01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:29,680 goes up and everyone's house value also 1866 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,079 goes up and so that value of 25% doesn't 1867 01:07:32,079 --> 01:07:34,000 change it does have an impact on 1868 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,079 personal property on business equipment 1869 01:07:36,079 --> 01:07:37,520 because business equipment isn't 1870 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,160 increasing the way real estate is. So 1871 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,559 this is another reason so we are losing 1872 01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:45,359 money on on personal property tax and we 1873 01:07:45,359 --> 01:07:46,960 are going that's why we're I've asked 1874 01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,119 West to make it a priority. It is 1875 01:07:49,119 --> 01:07:51,039 possible we will discuss it is possible 1876 01:07:51,039 --> 01:07:54,480 for the council to simply um basically 1877 01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,319 across the board say hey we're currently 1878 01:07:56,319 --> 01:07:58,559 you know our ratio right now is 47%. 1879 01:07:58,559 --> 01:08:00,319 state says the numbers on our books for 1880 01:08:00,319 --> 01:08:02,079 our values are less than half of what 1881 01:08:02,079 --> 01:08:04,960 they're probably worth in the market. 1882 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:06,799 You guys can I'll talk with us but you 1883 01:08:06,799 --> 01:08:08,079 guys essentially could say no we're 1884 01:08:08,079 --> 01:08:09,359 going to change our factors that brings 1885 01:08:09,359 --> 01:08:12,000 us up to 80%. That would help us. The 1886 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,000 only concern is as Alan Ray let you 1887 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,319 before there if there are inequities now 1888 01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:18,640 if values of prop relative values of 1889 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,719 property have changed um you're not 1890 01:08:20,719 --> 01:08:22,319 doing anything about that. All you're 1891 01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:24,159 doing is just raising everyone up and 1892 01:08:24,159 --> 01:08:25,679 people's valuations may look a little 1893 01:08:25,679 --> 01:08:27,679 off. So, we'll talk about how to address 1894 01:08:27,679 --> 01:08:31,040 that. But, um, we are already seeing the 1895 01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:32,640 Peace Port taxpayers are break. We're 1896 01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,319 already seeing significant uh, just in 1897 01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:35,600 the last few days, people are paying 1898 01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,120 their taxes right away. Thank you very 1899 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,920 much. Um, I have good news and bad news 1900 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,759 on real estate. The good news is we are 1901 01:08:41,759 --> 01:08:43,600 just officially listing our four 1902 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,359 foreclosed properties and the senior 1903 01:08:45,359 --> 01:08:47,040 citizens center. Uh, they actually 1904 01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:48,480 haven't like the website or anything, 1905 01:08:48,480 --> 01:08:50,640 but have been notified and Mike McI is 1906 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,839 talking to people.

But I think I don't 1910 01:09:00,799 --> 01:09:02,000 think we should wait until the next 1911 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,759 meeting to act on some of these offers. 1912 01:09:03,759 --> 01:09:05,359 These are people are making cash offers 1913 01:09:05,359 --> 01:09:07,199 on a building with a quick claim. 1914 01:09:07,199 --> 01:09:09,440 Waiting an entire month might not be the 1915 01:09:09,440 --> 01:09:11,199 best idea, but I do think two weeks is 1916 01:09:11,199 --> 01:09:13,120 reasonable. And I was going to suggest 1917 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:14,640 we hold a special meeting in two weeks 1918 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,560 to uh look at the offers and accept 1919 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,799 those we wish to accept. 1920 01:09:18,799 --> 01:09:22,239 >> Where is that printed?

He's already listed. 1946 01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:03,679 >> As soon as Mike was As soon as we 1947 01:10:03,679 --> 01:10:04,960 appointed Mike at the last meeting, he 1948 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:06,080 started receiving, 1949 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,640 >> right? 1950 01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:13,350 >> How did people know what they're 1951 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,040 » How do people know what they're worth? 1952 01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:16,159 you'll see on the listing 1953 01:10:16,159 --> 01:10:17,840 >> the tax text tax information. 1954 01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:19,280 >> Any other listing, you'll see what what 1955 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,640 it's what uh what has value. 1956 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:24,640 >> Um 1957 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,640 I I want to briefly address crosswalks 1958 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:28,239 again since it came up before. I just 1959 01:10:28,239 --> 01:10:31,120 want to reiterate I I take uh John's 1960 01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:32,480 point about why it might make sense in 1961 01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:34,800 May. We have traditionally painted them 1962 01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,760 in September, actually the end of August 1963 01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,080 because it's the beginning of school. 1964 01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,159 The primary concern is that if you're 1965 01:10:42,159 --> 01:10:43,520 having kids back in town, they're not 1966 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:44,800 always all the way down here. I grant 1967 01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,239 you up there. That's what we've done. 1968 01:10:46,239 --> 01:10:47,679 I'm not saying we have to do that in the 1969 01:10:47,679 --> 01:10:49,280 future. Arguably, we should probably do 1970 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,760 it twice a year. Um we'll talk about 1971 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:53,199 that in budget committee because that's 1972 01:10:53,199 --> 01:10:56,400 another few thousand in paint time, but 1973 01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:57,600 um we're not we're not leaving them 1974 01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,040 alone because we don't like them down 1975 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,280 there.
