[1:59] Mhm.
[3:54] » Mhm.
[5:32] » Let's bring to order. It is the Provo Municipal Council, Provo RDA
[5:37] Governing Board, and the Provo Storm
[5:39] Water District Governing Board.
[5:41] It's May 5th, 2026 at 5:31
[5:45] p.m.
[5:46] We will do a roll call of the officials.
[5:48] We have Marsha Judkins with us.
[5:50] And we have Gary Garrett, myself Patrice
[5:53] Mackay, Becky Bogden, and Counselor Jeff
[5:57] Whitlock. Is anyone on Zoom, Kevin?
[6:02] Okay.
[6:03] Others are on their way and we do have
[6:05] Rachel Whipple and Craig Christiansen
[6:07] excused today.
[6:10] And we will have a opening prayer by
[6:13] Julie Rose.
[6:19] My dear Father in Heaven, we are
[6:20] grateful for this chance that we have to
[6:21] gather as a community. We're grateful
[6:23] for the service of
[6:24] our city council members and our
[6:26] administration and we ask
[6:30] the guidance of thy spirit as we
[6:32] I know that our leaders seek to make
[6:34] decisions in the best interest of
[6:37] the residents of Provo.
[6:39] We're grateful for this beautiful city
[6:40] that we live in.
[6:41] We say this in the name of Jesus Christ.
[6:42] Amen.
[6:43] Thanks, Julie. We'll have the
[6:45] Pledge of Allegiance by Counselor
[6:47] Whitlock.
[6:52] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
[6:54] United States of America and to the
[6:57] republic for which it stands, one nation
[7:00] under God, indivisible, with liberty and
[7:04] justice for all.
[7:08] » [clears throat]
[7:11] » All right. Um, first of all, we're going
[7:13] to have a presentation of the tentative
[7:14] budget for Provo City for the fiscal
[7:16] year beginning July 1st, 2026 and ending
[7:19] June 30th, 2027.
[7:22] And it will be presented by Mayor Marsha
[7:24] Judkins and then Kelsey Zarba, our
[7:27] budget officer.
[7:31] Thank you. Dear members of the Provo
[7:33] City Council, I'm happy to provide the
[7:35] mayor's proposal for the tentative Provo
[7:37] City budget for fiscal year 2027.
[7:40] I'm proud to deliver a balanced budget
[7:42] that does not include a property tax
[7:43] increase. As you know, I began my
[7:45] service as mayor in January, and we got
[7:48] to work immediately with our finance
[7:50] team to review sales tax projections,
[7:52] discuss supplemental requests, and hone
[7:55] in on the details to ensure we delivered
[7:57] on one goal. A balanced budget that
[7:59] improves Provo residents' quality of
[8:01] life.
[8:02] The proposed budget successfully
[8:03] achieves this goal by focusing on fiscal
[8:05] discipline, operational efficiency, and
[8:08] long-term investments.
[8:10] I was consistently impressed by the
[8:12] dedication of our department directors,
[8:13] our outstanding finance team, Dan
[8:16] Follett, Kelsey Zabriskie, and Andrew
[8:18] Wright, and CAO Scott Henderson.
[8:21] I appreciated their willingness to
[8:22] explain the process, think creatively,
[8:24] and ask important questions. As we spent
[8:27] hours together, I appreciated the
[8:28] opportunity to find efficiencies and
[8:30] employ best employ best practices
[8:32] throughout Provo City.
[8:34] One important directive we utilized was
[8:36] to approach supplemental appropriations
[8:38] with greater discipline.
[8:40] Rather than simply submitting requests,
[8:42] department directors were asked to
[8:43] identify potential funding sources for
[8:45] every proposed project. This innovation
[8:48] saved hundreds of thousands of dollars
[8:50] in general fund expenses, and encouraged
[8:52] creative problem-solving across
[8:54] departments.
[8:56] We applied that same discipline to major
[8:57] cost centers like our vehicle fleet.
[9:00] By establishing a defined annual fleet
[9:02] budget for the first time, we're
[9:03] ensuring these resources are managed
[9:05] with the same accountability and
[9:07] prioritization as the rest of the
[9:08] general fund.
[9:10] We addressed consistent operational
[9:12] overtime within the fire department.
[9:14] Working closely with Fire Chief Hedman,
[9:16] we added positions to improve coverage
[9:18] and reduce reliance on overtime.
[9:21] These increased positions improve
[9:22] quality of service without a cost
[9:24] increase to taxpayers.
[9:26] We continue to benefit from our general
[9:28] fund transfer from our utilities.
[9:30] Absorbing the risk of running public
[9:32] utilities comes with a 12 and 1/2%
[9:34] dividend to Provo residents, making us a
[9:36] making up approximately 18% of overall
[9:39] general fund expenses.
[9:41] These transfers help maintain one of the
[9:43] lowest property tax rates in the state,
[9:45] while also presenting some of the lowest
[9:47] utility fees. It's a key reason we were
[9:49] able to avoid a tax increase this year.
[9:52] This budget also makes strategic
[9:54] investments in areas where we know we
[9:55] need to do more. Cybersecurity is one of
[9:57] them.
[9:59] Provo has only one time one full-time
[10:02] cybersecurity professional.
[10:04] For a city of our size, that opens us up
[10:05] to greater threats, even with excellent
[10:07] staffing.
[10:09] To prioritize safety more directly, our
[10:11] budget funds another full-time position.
[10:14] We're also continuing our focus on
[10:15] making Provo more business-friendly.
[10:17] Improving the building permitting
[10:19] process has been a priority since day
[10:20] one.
[10:21] This budget adds a building inspector at
[10:23] no cost to the general fund. We're also
[10:25] investing in technology to better
[10:27] monitor processes, identify bottlenecks,
[10:30] and improve efficiency at a fraction of
[10:31] the cost of adding additional staff.
[10:34] The hard work in each department to
[10:36] identify efficiencies allowed us to
[10:38] prioritize our employees who are the
[10:39] heartbeat of Provo City.
[10:41] We funded a 2% cost of living
[10:43] adjustment, providing support for each
[10:45] Provo City employee during a time of
[10:47] rising costs and global uncertainty.
[10:49] We also extended parental leave for new
[10:51] parents, showing our commit- commitment
[10:53] to being family-friendly and maintaining
[10:55] a healthy work-life balance.
[10:57] Finally, this budget reflects your
[10:58] priorities as members of the City
[11:00] Council.
[11:01] We worked together to prioritize
[11:02] investments in your key priorities:
[11:04] increasing home ownership, improving
[11:06] Provo's economic development, and
[11:08] optimizing investments in code
[11:10] enforcement.
[11:11] Our team worked tirelessly to deliver
[11:13] fast turnaround on each of these council
[11:15] priorities, and with your help, secured
[11:16] appropriations which allowed us to fund
[11:18] some of them this fiscal year,
[11:20] generating savings for the FY27 budget.
[11:23] By making strategic investments across
[11:25] these areas, we are delivering long-term
[11:27] savings while improving quality of life
[11:28] for those who live, work, and play in
[11:30] Provo. I could not be more excited for
[11:32] the year ahead and the opportunities we
[11:34] have to strengthen Provo. Thank you for
[11:36] your partnership and collaboration. I'm
[11:38] going to turn the time over to Kelsi.
[11:47] Thank you, Mayor. I'm Kelsi Zabriskie,
[11:49] the budget officer for Provo City. And
[11:52] as the Mayor
[11:53] already said, we're pleased to submit
[11:54] the proposed budget for the city for
[11:56] fiscal year fiscal year beginning July
[11:58] 1st, 2026 and going through June 30th,
[12:01] 2027. The budget is a result of many
[12:04] hours of contributions from the council.
[12:06] Thank you for sitting through so many
[12:07] budget presentations during your work
[12:08] meetings.
[12:10] Also, city staff, we've had department
[12:12] directors very involved with budgets.
[12:14] Their staff have been integral to
[12:16] getting all the numbers put together.
[12:18] And then, of course, city leadership in
[12:20] the mayor's office with Scott and Mayor
[12:22] Jenkinson,
[12:23] Deputy Mayor Kyle Frient, helping us
[12:26] through the whole process.
[12:28] Dan Fola is the administrative services
[12:30] director who's integral in leading the
[12:32] process and also providing invaluable
[12:36] feedback. He's at a conference this
[12:38] week, otherwise he would be here, but
[12:40] we're very grateful for Dan's support.
[12:41] And then, I have to give a major
[12:43] shout-out to Andrea Wright, our budget
[12:45] analyst. She is
[12:47] absolutely invaluable. She is very good
[12:49] at digging into details, asking hard
[12:51] questions, working with the departments,
[12:52] and she put the whole budget book
[12:53] together. So, thank you, Andrea.
[12:57] I want to just
[12:58] Tonight is the delivery of the tentative
[13:01] budget to the council. The tentative
[13:03] budget is kind of the state code's way
[13:04] of saying proposed budget. So, this is
[13:07] not the final budget by any means. I
[13:09] want to give a timeline of what that's
[13:11] going to look like just so the public
[13:12] and the council are all aware.
[13:14] So, tonight is the delivery of the
[13:16] proposed budget. It's available online
[13:18] now. I'll go to that in a minute. May
[13:20] 12th, next council meeting, the council
[13:23] will tentatively adopt the tentative
[13:24] budget. Again, it's just a fancy
[13:27] code state code way of saying the
[13:29] council is acknowledging through a
[13:31] resolution that they've received the
[13:34] mayor's proposed budget. It's still not
[13:36] the final budget next week, okay?
[13:39] Then we skip ahead to June 9th. There's
[13:41] a public hearing for the budget on June
[13:44] 9th.
[13:45] And then there's a second public hearing
[13:47] on June 23rd.
[13:48] And that June 23rd meeting is most
[13:50] likely when the budget would be adopted.
[13:53] June 30th is the state deadline for
[13:55] actually making sure that budget is
[13:57] adopted and ready to go for the July 1st
[13:59] start of the fiscal year.
[14:01] So, there's still 7 weeks of time to
[14:04] review the budget, get public input.
[14:06] It's not final, um but we are very proud
[14:10] of the work that we've done and it is a
[14:12] balanced budget and we're excited for
[14:14] everyone to dive in and look at it.
[14:16] Now, how do you access the tentative
[14:18] budget now that it's available?
[14:20] You can go to provo.gov and just
[14:22] straight from the home page there's a
[14:24] transparency portal link. You click on
[14:27] that and there's a financial section.
[14:28] It's the second drop down.
[14:30] From there you can go to budget and
[14:32] financial reporting. It's an icon with a
[14:34] bar graph. And then you can
[14:37] uh see the annual budget section and
[14:39] under there there's a link for the 2027
[14:41] tentative budget.
[14:42] So, it's there and the mayor's letter
[14:45] that she just read is included in that
[14:46] document. There's a budget highlight
[14:49] section that finance puts together
[14:51] starting on page 19 of the tentative
[14:53] budget. It's a six-page summary that
[14:55] basically captures the bulk of what is
[14:58] included in the budget in terms of new
[15:00] changes, new requests that were added,
[15:03] any fee um updates, and so on.
[15:07] And I just kind of want to
[15:08] walk through a few of the categories in
[15:10] the budget highlights. I'm not going to
[15:11] read the whole letter,
[15:12] but just thought it would be useful for
[15:14] people to know what they can find in
[15:15] there as a starting point.
[15:17] So, it goes through funding sources. It
[15:20] identifies um Oh, thank you, Kevin.
[15:23] This is page 19.
[15:26] I think actually page 20 is
[15:29] where you can like see where the fees uh
[15:31] it talks about fees and how you can
[15:32] access a summary of fee changes in the
[15:34] appendix, the very back of the budget
[15:36] sheet. That appendix is on page 41 page
[15:39] 149. So, feel free to dive into there.
[15:42] You don't have to go to that page right
[15:44] now, Kevin, but um it just summarizes
[15:47] all the changes. So, if you have
[15:48] questions about fees after reading that,
[15:49] we're happy to answer any questions, but
[15:51] we tried to go through and show what the
[15:54] impact is and what the reason for fee
[15:56] changes were.
[15:58] um
[16:00] The budget highlights talks about
[16:01] utility rate changes. It talks about
[16:04] property taxes, which to emphasize what
[16:06] the mayor already said, there are no
[16:08] recommended property tax increases in
[16:10] the budget. That applies to property
[16:12] taxes that contribute to general
[16:13] operations in the general fund, and it
[16:15] also applies to property taxes that
[16:17] contribute to the library. So, no
[16:19] recommended property tax increases in
[16:21] the proposed budget.
[16:23] um It talks about personnel elements
[16:25] that are funded, and then if you go to
[16:27] page
[16:29] 22,
[16:30] there are some tables that start to talk
[16:33] about the funded supplemental requests.
[16:35] So, the mayor talked about this. Uh any department
[16:40] that had a need for increased budget
[16:44] needed to submit what we call a
[16:45] supplemental request, and that was
[16:47] basically saying, "Here's our need,
[16:50] here's the cost." And this was a big
[16:52] push this year from the mayor's office
[16:54] was to make sure that any request
[16:56] included proposals for offsetting the
[16:58] cost increases. And so, the tables that
[17:01] you can you can see on the bottom of
[17:02] that page, um there's a few different
[17:05] columns. There's a column that shows
[17:06] what department or division made the
[17:08] request, what the request was, the
[17:10] amount, the proposed funding source,
[17:13] the benefit, and then if there was a
[17:15] full-time equivalent impact in terms of
[17:17] personnel. So, hopefully that's a great
[17:19] place to start looking and seeing what
[17:21] requests were funded. And just know that
[17:23] there were a lot of requests that were
[17:25] granted because departments were able to
[17:27] successfully identify offsets to those
[17:30] funding increases, whether that was
[17:33] through strategic cuts in their budgets
[17:35] that they already had or through some
[17:37] identified revenue sources.
[17:41] Ultimately, we welcome you and encourage
[17:44] you to carefully review the budget
[17:46] highlights in the entire budget
[17:47] document.
[17:48] We welcome the input of Provo residents
[17:50] as we proceed through the process of
[17:51] adopting the city's annual budget. And
[17:53] as always, finance staff is at your
[17:55] disposal to respond to questions and
[17:57] assist the council
[17:59] in any way you'd like over the next
[18:00] several weeks. We believe that you'll
[18:01] find this budget responsive to your
[18:03] concerns and aspirations and
[18:04] forward-thinking as we plan for the
[18:06] future of the Provo community. And with
[18:08] that,
[18:11] we give you the FY27 budget. Thank you.
[18:17] Kelsey.
[18:18] And I know there's a lot of um work that
[18:20] goes into this.
[18:22] Um is there any council discussion on
[18:24] this
[18:25] item? [clears throat]
[18:26] Just a couple of questions. Councilor
[18:28] Garrett.
[18:30] Um Kelsey, you reported in our work
[18:32] session last uh Tuesday
[18:36] that um
[18:37] the estimated increase in sales tax and
[18:40] other revenue was about 6.2 million, but
[18:44] that that estimate had not been was 2
[18:46] months old. Mhm.
[18:48] And we would anticipate the uh current
[18:51] estimate by this week. I see here you're
[18:54] showing an increase
[18:56] in sales tax revenue of 3.6. Where did
[18:59] that figure land overall?
[19:02] Did it go from 6.2 to 3.6 or were there
[19:04] other revenues included? I think I I'm
[19:07] trying to remember the 6.2 number. I
[19:09] know
[19:10] that sales tax we had originally
[19:12] projected higher, but just based on what
[19:14] we were seeing, we wanted to make it
[19:15] [clears throat] a little bit more
[19:16] conservative.
[19:17] >> Higher than 3.6 where it landed?
[19:19] 3.6 is where it did a 3.6 million dollar
[19:22] increase compared to the fiscal year 26
[19:24] budget.
[19:24] >> Yeah. So sales tax did go up quite a
[19:26] bit. I I'd have to look back at that
[19:29] presentation. It might have been like an
[19:30] overall like amount Yeah.
[19:33] >> on that slide. I'm trying to remember
[19:34] the slide.
[19:35] >> Right. But yes, sales tax did definitely
[19:38] um go up in the fiscal year 27 budget
[19:41] compared to fiscal year 26 budget. And
[19:43] we were there are a few reasons for that we discussed in the last work
[19:47] meeting.
[19:48] Okay.
[19:48] >> help answer your question? I don't know
[19:50] if I fully got there. Uh yes. Um that's
[19:53] a good start. And then can we anticipate
[19:56] that uh
[19:57] we have here this
[19:59] summary of positions that have been
[20:01] added. It is it fair to say that most of
[20:04] the um increased budget was allocated
[20:07] for um
[20:09] additional position staffing positions
[20:11] or
[20:12] um I I would say well, personnel costs
[20:16] those those were built in there there in
[20:18] the budget highlights, there's a
[20:19] personnel elements that kind of goes
[20:21] through the personnel cost. We could get
[20:23] a breakdown of the exact impact of
[20:24] personnel cost increases. In terms of
[20:27] like new positions being added,
[20:29] yes.
[20:31] I I would have to go through and like
[20:32] add everything up, but there were some
[20:34] full-time positions added.
[20:36] There were also
[20:40] But again, it's hard cuz there were
[20:41] offsets. You know, like the firefighter
[20:43] positions were a good example of how we
[20:46] added [clears throat] positions,
[20:47] but we also reduced overtime.
[20:50] >> Okay.
[20:52] Yeah, I'm just looking for some helps as
[20:54] I look through this to kind of
[20:55] anticipate where those additional
[20:57] revenues might have been placed. I saw
[20:59] in the mayor's letter several references
[21:02] to new positions and cost of living
[21:05] adjustment. And so just interested to
[21:08] anticipate where we can see that
[21:11] increased revenue reflected. And I guess
[21:14] this might be helpful, but each of the department pages, they have
[21:19] tables that show his historical like the
[21:22] actuals and then it shows the FY26
[21:25] adopted budget numbers.
[21:28] Then there's an adjusted budget column
[21:29] which accounts for any carryovers or
[21:31] mid-year appropriations from the council
[21:33] that have been built in. And then it
[21:35] shows the FY27 budget, but you can kind
[21:37] of see like if revenues have gone up a
[21:38] lot between the FY26 numbers and FY27.
[21:42] That's a good starting point and we can
[21:44] also
[21:45] provide a summary if that's helpful,
[21:47] too. Okay. Well, I'll let you I'll let
[21:48] you know. Okay. Thank you to you, to
[21:51] staff who have worked with you on this
[21:52] budget. Um a special thanks to the
[21:55] administration for um highlighting
[21:58] council priorities and for presenting a
[22:01] balanced budget that will not require
[22:03] tax property tax increase, so
[22:06] um special bonus.
[22:08] Right.
[22:09] Thank you.
[22:11] Councilor Bogda.
[22:12] Kelsey,
[22:14] when will we get the consolidated fee
[22:15] schedule?
[22:17] I have a redlined version that I can
[22:19] send to council tonight if you'd like.
[22:22] Please. But there is also I mean, the
[22:25] consolidated fee schedule is really
[22:27] long, so I would definitely start with
[22:28] the summary of fee changes at the very
[22:30] back of the budget book just to start to
[22:32] understand what they would be.
[22:34] Great. But we asked for the rec for
[22:37] parks and recs 3 weeks ago and we still
[22:40] have not received it.
[22:41] >> Oh, I have all of that. I'm happy to
[22:42] give it to you. And so yeah, they they
[22:45] haven't followed up on what they were
[22:47] supposed what they were asked to bring.
[22:49] So yeah, if we could see that, that
[22:51] would be great cuz I'm noticing here
[22:52] that there's stuff in the rec center,
[22:54] but it's not like exact numbers or s-
[22:56] Yeah, there were quite a few changes and
[22:58] so it just seemed
[22:59] better to summarize it in the actual
[23:01] budget book, but I did I have the whole
[23:02] schedule, so I'm happy to send that to
[23:04] you.
[23:05] Thanks. I appreciate that. And thank you
[23:07] for your time and effort on this.
[23:11] Anyone else?
[23:15] All right. Thanks, Kelsey. Thanks,
[23:16] Mayor.
[23:19] All right, there's no objection. We will
[23:20] now adjourn the Provo City Council and
[23:22] convene as the RDA Governing Board by
[23:24] unanimous consent.
[23:27] Next, a presentation of Oh, we'd like to
[23:29] recognize that Travis Hoban has joined
[23:31] us.
[23:32] Next, a presentation of the tentative
[23:33] budget for the Redevelopment Agency of
[23:35] Provo City for the fiscal year beginning
[23:37] July 1st, 2026 and ending June 30th,
[23:40] 2027.
[23:41] They'll be presented by Kelsey Zaruba
[23:43] again.
[23:48] Thank you. This is pretty short.
[23:50] Basically, the Redevelopment Agency
[23:52] budget is listed in the Provo City
[23:53] budget document on page 143.
[23:57] Again, this is not a final budget. It's
[23:58] just a proposal. Um I know Melissa
[24:01] McNally, our Redevelopment Agency
[24:03] Director, worked to put this together,
[24:05] so we're grateful for her input on that.
[24:09] Any questions?
[24:14] Does it look like it? Thanks, Kelsey.
[24:15] >> Thank you.
[24:20] All right. Any discussion on that?
[24:24] There's no objection. We will now
[24:25] adjourn the RDA Governing Board and
[24:27] convene as the Storm Water Service
[24:28] District Governing Board by unanimous
[24:30] consent.
[24:32] Uh presentation of the tentative budget
[24:34] for the Provo City Storm Water Service
[24:36] District for the fiscal year beginning
[24:37] July 1st, 2026 and ending June 30th,
[24:40] 2027 will also be presented by Kelsey
[24:43] Zaruba.
[24:46] Okay.
[24:47] This is the Storm Water Service District
[24:49] budget, which is also at the end of the
[24:51] Provo City budget on page 142.
[24:54] And again, it's just up for council
[24:57] review at this point or stormwater board
[24:59] review and
[25:01] wouldn't be adopted until the second
[25:03] council meeting in June.
[25:07] Thanks Kelsey. Um
[25:09] there was a question, why do we still
[25:11] have the storm water service district?
[25:13] Is that something we're planning on
[25:14] keeping indefinitely
[25:16] or now that our
[25:18] you know, cuz our building that we
[25:19] originally
[25:23] formed this district for, we've we've
[25:25] done that project. So I'm just wondering
[25:27] what the plan is. Yeah, I think the
[25:28] board and what we're using this for.
[25:31] Really it's it's its own entity
[25:34] that was created to help pay off some
[25:36] bonds that were paid off a year or two
[25:38] ago and I would leave it up to legal
[25:40] honestly to decide when
[25:42] this is no longer needed. From my
[25:45] perspective, we're not really using it
[25:47] except to have a lovely little extra
[25:50] item on the council agendas, so.
[25:52] what are we running through this?
[25:54] Like what is So it's anything for the
[25:56] stormwater division in public works.
[25:58] It's paying, you know, just for the
[26:00] storm drain operations and any
[26:02] maintenance on the system. And so it is
[26:05] part of
[26:06] the public works department, but it's
[26:07] technically considered its own entity
[26:09] just because of the way those bonds were
[26:11] structured oh I don't even know 20, 30
[26:13] years ago. So. Okay.
[26:15] Thank you. Any questions for Kelsey?
[26:20] Councilor Bogdan.
[26:22] Gary.
[26:25] Any insight on the storm water service
[26:26] district?
[26:29] Uh not in particular. I think we would
[26:30] have to take a look at
[26:34] what would need to be done to wind up a
[26:36] special service district and
[26:38] consult with public works.
[26:41] But once we do that, I think we could
[26:43] give some advice on
[26:45] whether and when.
[26:48] Thank you.
[26:49] Good.
[26:51] Cuz what I'm hearing is it was created
[26:53] for paying
[26:54] for getting bonds. Those bonds are paid
[26:56] off operationally, it's not different
[26:58] and so it's kind of an artifact at this
[27:00] point. Is that fair?
[27:02] Certainly sounds that way to me.
[27:06] I mean, I imagine how the money is used
[27:08] is a budgeting question
[27:11] which I would throw back to
[27:13] finance.
[27:14] But in terms of what we need to do to
[27:17] unwind the district, we would need to
[27:19] take a look at that, I think.
[27:24] Okay.
[27:25] Can you get back with Justin and let him
[27:27] know
[27:29] about that? Certainly.
[27:31] Thank you.
[27:31] >> Be happy to do that.
[27:35] Anything else on this item?
[27:39] All right.
[27:41] And I guess for the public's sake, if
[27:43] anyone's listening,
[27:45] is
[27:46] we This is our first time seeing this,
[27:48] like us
[27:50] um
[27:51] presenting it and
[27:53] taking it is is nothing is decided. And
[27:56] so we will go through and study this and
[27:59] make sure that
[28:01] everything aligns with whatever our
[28:02] priorities are. And so just the public
[28:04] knows this is still like the mayor
[28:06] mentioned, I think Kelsey mentioned,
[28:07] it's still like a 7-week process and
[28:09] this is just the beginning.
[28:11] But um
[28:13] if there's no objection, we will now
[28:14] adjourn the Stormwater Service District
[28:15] Governing Board by unanimous consent.
[28:22] Recording stopped.
[28:25] Hey, Kelsey.
