allowed for a conversion of

128
00:02:05,571 --> 00:02:06,105

132
00:02:08,674 --> 00:02:10,750

expire, but

135
00:02:10,876 --> 00:02:11,177
the conversion did

136
00:02:11,177 --> 00:02:12,378

476
00:07:34,604 --> 00:07:35,204
expense categories. We

477
00:07:35,204 --> 00:07:36,606

481
00:07:39,208 --> 00:07:39,576
can see

482
00:07:39,576 --> 00:07:40,430

493
00:07:56,827 --> 00:07:57,127
were

494
00:07:57,127 --> 00:07:57,828
set

495
00:07:57,828 --> 00:07:59,196
using 2025

496
00:07:59,196 --> 00:07:59,563

498
00:08:01,398 --> 00:08:01,732

513
00:08:13,477 --> 00:08:15,212
actual expenses

514

, evaluated

515
00:08:15,713 --> 00:08:17,381
under these two

516
00:08:17,381 --> 00:08:18,115
standards, and

517
00:08:18,115 --> 00:08:19,682
has apportioned by the county

518
00:08:19,682 --> 00:08:20,150
,

519
00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:20,784
actual o&m was

520
00:08:20,784 --> 00:08:22,850
nearly identical

521
00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:22,319
to the

522
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:22,820
to

523
00:08:22,820 --> 00:08:24,540
the projection, as

524
00:08:24,540 --> 00:08:24,388
you can see

525
00:08:24,388 --> 00:08:24,687
. The

526
00:08:24,687 --> 00:08:25,550
actual is

527
00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:26,156
actually

528
00:08:26,156 --> 00:08:26,690
just

529
00:08:26,690 --> 00:08:27,124
slightly higher

530
00:08:27,124 --> 00:08:29,124
by roughly 90

531
00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:31,260
. $394,000

532
00:08:33,564 --> 00:08:33,864
. Excuse

533
00:08:33,864 --> 00:08:35,833

534
00:08:35,833 --> 00:08:37,367
, $4000. What am I talking

535
00:08:37,367 --> 00:08:37,935
about? Just

536
00:08:37,935 --> 00:08:38,235
$4000 but

537
00:08:38,235 --> 00:08:40,137
. You

538
00:08:40,137 --> 00:08:40,538
. Ah,

539
00:08:40,538 --> 00:08:42,600
very close

540
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:42,773
. Remarkable

541
00:08:42,773 --> 00:08:44,773
. Yeah

542
00:08:44,975 --> 00:08:45,443
.

543
00:08:45,443 --> 00:08:46,544
Great. So, that

544
00:08:46,544 --> 00:08:47,311
is it. That,

545
00:08:47,311 --> 00:08:48,979
that is, that concludes

546
00:08:48,979 --> 00:08:49,580
my

547
00:08:49,580 --> 00:08:49,980
presentation. All right. So,

548
00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:50,848
we'll open

549
00:08:50,848 --> 00:08:51,820

550
00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:51,649

553
00:08:53,985 --> 00:08:55,485
do you have any

554
00:08:55,485 --> 00:08:55,720
questions

555
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,387
for

556
00:08:56,387 --> 00:08:57,421
Steve? I do not. That

557
00:08:57,421 --> 00:08:58,155
was very

558
00:08:58,155 --> 00:09:00,240
clear. Thank you, Mr

559
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:00,658
. Burns. I

560
00:09:00,658 --> 00:09:01,910
do have a question. Could you

561
00:09:01,910 --> 00:09:02,460
go back 2 or

562
00:09:02,460 --> 00:09:02,760
3 slides for me?

563
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,760
Sure

564
00:09:06,898 --> 00:09:08,898
. Yeah, um

565
00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:11,903
. So these are

566
00:09:11,903 --> 00:09:14,380
all numbers that were

567
00:09:14,380 --> 00:09:15,540
Determined

568
00:09:15,540 --> 00:09:15,873
in

569
00:09:15,873 --> 00:09:16,474
2024 when they

570
00:09:16,474 --> 00:09:16,874
were trying to set the rates

571
00:09:16,874 --> 00:09:18,900
for 2025

572
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:18,343
, correct? This

573
00:09:18,343 --> 00:09:19,109
is all

574
00:09:19,109 --> 00:09:20,445
information that was available

575
00:09:20,445 --> 00:09:20,678
at that time

576
00:09:20,678 --> 00:09:22,514
. No

577
00:09:22,514 --> 00:09:22,981
. No

578
00:09:22,981 --> 00:09:24,649
. Well

579
00:09:24,649 --> 00:09:25,350
, I

580
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:26,885
mean, this information

581
00:09:26,885 --> 00:09:27,552
, um, I

582
00:09:27,552 --> 00:09:27,785
think it'd probably be better

583
00:09:27,785 --> 00:09:29,153
if

584
00:09:29,153 --> 00:09:29,887
we had

585
00:09:29,887 --> 00:09:30,155
questions relating to

586
00:09:30,155 --> 00:09:31,656
this

587
00:09:31,656 --> 00:09:32,156
presentation to take them

588
00:09:32,156 --> 00:09:34,156
in another forum

589
00:09:34,325 --> 00:09:34,759
. Than here. I,

590
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:36,361
I really

591
00:09:36,361 --> 00:09:37,162
don't have an answer

592
00:09:37,162 --> 00:09:40,598
for you right now. Ok, sorry

593
00:09:40,598 --> 00:09:41,266

Ok, thank you

00:09:42,901 --> 00:09:43,301
very much

596
00:09:43,301 --> 00:09:43,735
. So

597
00:09:43,735 --> 00:09:45,360
we'll go on

598
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:45,369
to

599
00:09:45,369 --> 00:09:45,937

people who signed up. I do, and

606
00:09:50,408 --> 00:09:52,430
I'll

607
00:09:52,430 --> 00:09:52,744
do as I usually do. We'll

613
00:09:56,481 --> 00:09:56,643
be prepared and

00:09:59,830 --> 00:09:59,417
. Season we will call

617
00:09:59,417 --> 00:10:01,119
them the

618
00:10:01,119 --> 00:10:01,620
people on deck. So

619
00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:02,988
starting with

620
00:10:02,988 --> 00:10:03,287
Michael Brown

621
00:10:03,287 --> 00:10:03,955
and

622
00:10:03,955 --> 00:10:06,355
Jodie Menkins on deck

623
00:10:16,835 --> 00:10:18,804
. Michael

624
00:10:18,804 --> 00:10:19,304
Brown 4366

625
00:10:19,304 --> 00:10:19,570
Clark Point

626
00:10:19,570 --> 00:10:20,706
Road

627
00:10:20,706 --> 00:10:21,206
,

628
00:10:21,206 --> 00:10:23,206
Guaymas Island

629
00:10:25,744 --> 00:10:26,245
. I can't believe

630
00:10:26,245 --> 00:10:28,245
we're still here

631
00:10:28,547 --> 00:10:29,748
. After

632
00:10:29,748 --> 00:10:30,182
, uh,

633
00:10:30,182 --> 00:10:30,449
all of our

634
00:10:30,449 --> 00:10:32,449
work

635
00:10:32,785 --> 00:10:33,180
, Grimas Island

636
00:10:33,180 --> 00:10:34,687
to

637
00:10:34,687 --> 00:10:36,687
point out

638
00:10:37,890 --> 00:10:37,422
, uh, uh, the

639
00:10:37,422 --> 00:10:37,790
, uh,

640
00:10:37,790 --> 00:10:39,191
errors in

641
00:10:39,191 --> 00:10:39,558
the

642
00:10:39,558 --> 00:10:40,920
calculations, and

643
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:41,327
we're still here

644
00:10:41,327 --> 00:10:41,594
talking about

645
00:10:41,594 --> 00:10:42,940
it

646
00:10:42,940 --> 00:10:43,328
. I

647
00:10:43,328 --> 00:10:43,729
am

648
00:10:43,729 --> 00:10:44,530
surprised today to

649
00:10:44,530 --> 00:10:46,599
learn that we actually have a

650
00:10:46,599 --> 00:10:46,999
.

651
00:10:46,999 --> 00:10:48,330
An appeal

652
00:10:48,330 --> 00:10:48,534
from

653
00:10:48,534 --> 00:10:48,834
the county for

654
00:10:48,834 --> 00:10:50,369
the

655
00:10:50,369 --> 00:10:51,300
remand order

656
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:52,238
, but we won

657
00:10:52,238 --> 00:10:52,738
3

658
00:10:52,738 --> 00:10:53,139
times in court

659
00:10:53,139 --> 00:10:53,472
. The court

660
00:10:53,472 --> 00:10:55,700
agreed

661
00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:55,274
. That

662
00:10:55,274 --> 00:10:56,776
there

663
00:10:56,776 --> 00:10:57,760
are

664
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:57,976
serious

665
00:10:57,976 --> 00:10:59,712
errors in your calculations

666
00:10:59,712 --> 00:11:00,412
.

667
00:11:00,412 --> 00:11:01,681
Now we find today that

668
00:11:01,681 --> 00:11:02,181
in fact

669
00:11:02,181 --> 00:11:02,614
there are none

670
00:11:02,614 --> 00:11:02,848
. Is that correct

671
00:11:02,848 --> 00:11:04,450
?

672
00:11:04,450 --> 00:11:06,419
But

673
00:11:06,419 --> 00:11:07,190
in fact the court said

674
00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:08,153
there was

675
00:11:08,153 --> 00:11:08,621
, so

676
00:11:08,621 --> 00:11:09,222
we're still here

677
00:11:09,222 --> 00:11:11,222
talking about this

678
00:11:13,459 --> 00:11:14,600
. And uh for

679
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:14,794
the life of me, I

680
00:11:14,794 --> 00:11:15,161
can't

681
00:11:15,161 --> 00:11:15,795
understand

682
00:11:15,795 --> 00:11:17,795
. Why

683
00:11:17,864 --> 00:11:18,970
We haven't had

684
00:11:18,970 --> 00:11:19,999
a

685
00:11:19,999 --> 00:11:20,433
seat at the table to go over

686
00:11:20,433 --> 00:11:21,801
these numbers

687
00:11:21,801 --> 00:11:21,962
with you guys

688
00:11:21,962 --> 00:11:22,301
.

689
00:11:22,301 --> 00:11:22,568
We've asked

690
00:11:22,568 --> 00:11:24,137
this

691
00:11:24,137 --> 00:11:25,400
numerous times

692
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,405
This

693
00:11:26,405 --> 00:11:26,973
is yet again another

694
00:11:26,973 --> 00:11:28,274
reason why we need

695
00:11:28,274 --> 00:11:28,641
to

696
00:11:28,641 --> 00:11:29,309
have the

697
00:11:29,309 --> 00:11:30,743
ferry committee or an

698
00:11:30,743 --> 00:11:31,644
advisory

699
00:11:31,644 --> 00:11:32,278
committee re-established on the

700
00:11:32,278 --> 00:11:33,120
island to be able to

701
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:33,412
have

702
00:11:33,412 --> 00:11:33,746
this

703
00:11:33,746 --> 00:11:35,381
dialogue

704
00:11:35,381 --> 00:11:35,782
between because

705
00:11:35,782 --> 00:11:36,810
. I

706
00:11:36,810 --> 00:11:38,810
think

707
00:11:38,351 --> 00:11:38,618
Commissioner Wieson last

708
00:11:38,618 --> 00:11:39,919
week

709
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:40,253
you bemoaned the

710
00:11:40,253 --> 00:11:40,753
fact that

711
00:11:40,753 --> 00:11:41,988
the county

712
00:11:41,988 --> 00:11:42,722
has

713
00:11:42,722 --> 00:11:44,424
to have

714
00:11:44,424 --> 00:11:46,424
a

715
00:11:46,426 --> 00:11:47,930
legal

716
00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:48,995
uh uh bills

717
00:11:48,995 --> 00:11:49,396
. Piling

718
00:11:49,396 --> 00:11:49,629
up

719
00:11:49,629 --> 00:11:51,131
and

720
00:11:51,131 --> 00:11:51,831
for

721
00:11:51,831 --> 00:11:52,299
various situations that happen

722
00:11:52,299 --> 00:11:53,266
in the county

723
00:11:53,266 --> 00:11:53,567
, but

724
00:11:53,567 --> 00:11:53,933
here's

725
00:11:53,933 --> 00:11:55,535
perfect

726
00:11:55,535 --> 00:11:56,369
example where all of

727
00:11:56,369 --> 00:11:59,369
this could have been, uh

728
00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:00,707
,

729
00:12:00,707 --> 00:12:01,207
Addressed by residents and

730
00:12:01,207 --> 00:12:02,542
staff, but

731
00:12:02,542 --> 00:12:03,343
in fact

732
00:12:03,343 --> 00:12:05,343
, We're still

733
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,379
here talking about this. You

734
00:12:06,379 --> 00:12:06,847
had to

735
00:12:06,847 --> 00:12:07,480
pay

736
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,949
money for

737
00:12:08,949 --> 00:12:09,816
legal work

738
00:12:09,816 --> 00:12:11,351
We had to

739
00:12:11,351 --> 00:12:11,651
raise money on

740
00:12:11,651 --> 00:12:12,285
the

741
00:12:12,285 --> 00:12:13,886
island to fight this

742
00:12:13,886 --> 00:12:14,470
. And

743
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:14,421
we

744
00:12:14,421 --> 00:12:16,421
won 3 times

745
00:12:18,692 --> 00:12:19,590
. Ok

746
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:20,227
? So, why

747
00:12:20,227 --> 00:12:20,961
are we

748
00:12:20,961 --> 00:12:21,328
still here? Why are we still

749
00:12:21,328 --> 00:12:22,596
arguing

750
00:12:22,596 --> 00:12:23,960
about

751
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:23,563
this? We will

752
00:12:23,563 --> 00:12:24,631
show today that

753
00:12:24,631 --> 00:12:24,931
in

754
00:12:24,931 --> 00:12:25,532
fact

755
00:12:25,532 --> 00:12:27,200
we have

756
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:27,601
uh, we have

757
00:12:27,601 --> 00:12:28,350
numbers that we

758
00:12:28,350 --> 00:12:29,503
keep wanting

759
00:12:29,503 --> 00:12:30,337
to sit down with

760
00:12:30,337 --> 00:12:32,720
you to talk about, and you guys

761
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:32,406
are not engaging

762
00:12:32,406 --> 00:12:32,739
with us. Why

763
00:12:32,739 --> 00:12:34,739
is that

764
00:12:36,910 --> 00:12:38,312
? I mean

765
00:12:38,312 --> 00:12:38,645
, we

766
00:12:38,645 --> 00:12:39,460
actually

767
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:39,480
,

768
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,581
we actually

769
00:12:40,581 --> 00:12:40,781
email you

770
00:12:40,781 --> 00:12:41,482
guys and

771
00:12:41,482 --> 00:12:42,849
say we'd like a response

772
00:12:42,849 --> 00:12:43,316
. It's,

773
00:12:43,316 --> 00:12:45,119
it is crickets

774
00:12:45,119 --> 00:12:45,486
. We

775
00:12:45,486 --> 00:12:45,986
have this

776
00:12:45,986 --> 00:12:47,388
information we

777
00:12:47,388 --> 00:12:48,188
can provide it

778
00:12:48,188 --> 00:12:49,590
for you today. In fact, we

779
00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:50,324
did

780
00:12:50,324 --> 00:12:51,592
this morning. I think

781
00:12:51,592 --> 00:12:52,426
it's

782
00:12:52,426 --> 00:12:53,861
germane for you to look

783
00:12:53,861 --> 00:12:54,561
at

784
00:12:54,561 --> 00:12:54,795
yourselves and say, What

785
00:12:54,795 --> 00:12:56,196
are

786
00:12:56,196 --> 00:12:56,797
we

787
00:12:56,797 --> 00:12:57,310
doing wrong? Why are

788
00:12:57,310 --> 00:12:57,298
we

789
00:12:57,298 --> 00:12:58,866
still

790
00:12:58,866 --> 00:12:59,200
wasting time on this

791
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,100
. I

792
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:03,100
I, it's

793
00:13:03,304 --> 00:13:03,704
It's staggering to me. You'll

794
00:13:03,704 --> 00:13:05,572
hear from

795
00:13:05,572 --> 00:13:05,906
Our

796
00:13:05,906 --> 00:13:06,140
residents

797
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:06,440
here

798
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,942
today

799
00:13:07,942 --> 00:13:08,109
, why we are

800
00:13:08,109 --> 00:13:08,476
still

801
00:13:08,476 --> 00:13:10,244
fighting

802
00:13:10,244 --> 00:13:10,444
this because it's

803
00:13:10,444 --> 00:13:10,745
not

804
00:13:10,745 --> 00:13:12,279
fair

805
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:12,812
. That

806
00:13:12,812 --> 00:13:14,115
you're using

807
00:13:14,115 --> 00:13:14,382
tainted

808
00:13:14,382 --> 00:13:16,382
data

809
00:13:16,717 --> 00:13:17,451
. To

project fares moving

811
00:13:17,818 --> 00:13:19,620
forward

812
00:13:19,620 --> 00:13:20,988
. Thank you

962
00:15:50,390 --> 00:15:50,340
I'm retired

that's

975
00:16:07,991 --> 00:16:08,391
directly

976
00:16:08,391 --> 00:16:10,391
related to

977
00:16:10,794 --> 00:16:12,262
The fact

978
00:16:12,262 --> 00:16:12,829
that you've

979
00:16:12,829 --> 00:16:13,196
gotten rid of

980
00:16:13,196 --> 00:16:14,631

981
00:16:14,631 --> 00:16:15,310
.

982
00:16:15,310 --> 00:16:17,310
There's the

983
00:16:17,330 --> 00:16:17,467
ferroasticity that

984
00:16:17,467 --> 00:16:19,169
takes place

985
00:16:19,169 --> 00:16:19,402
because of

986
00:16:19,402 --> 00:16:19,903
the

987
00:16:19,903 --> 00:16:21,770
expirations on

988
00:16:21,770 --> 00:16:22,720
DECEMBER 31st,

989
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,720
and

990
00:16:24,140 --> 00:16:24,740
as a result

991
00:16:24,740 --> 00:16:25,541
, My

992
00:16:25,541 --> 00:16:25,942
riding

993
00:16:25,942 --> 00:16:26,842
habits have

994
00:16:26,842 --> 00:16:28,678
changed drastically

995
00:16:28,678 --> 00:16:28,911
In 2024, I

996
00:16:28,911 --> 00:16:30,514
was

997
00:16:30,514 --> 00:16:31,810
driving across

998
00:16:31,810 --> 00:16:32,582
an average of 3 to 4

999
00:16:32,582 --> 00:16:33,316
times a

1000
00:16:33,316 --> 00:16:34,684
week. I would buy a

1001
00:16:34,684 --> 00:16:34,985
multi-use

1002
00:16:34,985 --> 00:16:36,985
pass

1003
00:16:37,187 --> 00:16:37,954
. In 2026

1004
00:16:37,954 --> 00:16:39,156
, currently, if

1005
00:16:39,156 --> 00:16:39,990
I

1006
00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:41,558
drive across, it's once

1007
00:16:41,558 --> 00:16:42,192
a week

1008
00:16:42,192 --> 00:16:43,927
max to go

1009
00:16:43,927 --> 00:16:44,661
grocery shopping,

1010
00:16:44,661 --> 00:16:44,995
which adds to my grocery bill,

1011
00:16:44,995 --> 00:16:46,960
which

1012
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,960
is already high

1013
00:16:48,599 --> 00:16:48,762
. If

1014
00:16:48,762 --> 00:16:49,990
you

1015
00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:50,433
were to

1016
00:16:50,433 --> 00:16:51,568
go back

1017
00:16:51,568 --> 00:16:53,237
And actually

1018
00:16:53,237 --> 00:16:53,604
,

1019
00:16:53,604 --> 00:16:55,604
Look at

1020
00:16:55,906 --> 00:16:57,307
What needs

1021
00:16:57,307 --> 00:16:59,307
to happen

1022
00:16:59,643 --> 00:17:00,477
.

1023
00:17:00,477 --> 00:17:01,478
For the county is that you

1024
00:17:01,478 --> 00:17:02,120
need

1025
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,914
to increase revenue

1026
00:17:03,914 --> 00:17:04,248
. If

1027
00:17:04,248 --> 00:17:04,515
you

1028
00:17:04,515 --> 00:17:05,382
go

1029
00:17:05,382 --> 00:17:06,249
on consistently

1030
00:17:06,249 --> 00:17:06,650
as it

1031
00:17:06,650 --> 00:17:06,917
is

1032
00:17:06,917 --> 00:17:07,251
now,

1033
00:17:07,251 --> 00:17:09,251
you're

1034
00:17:09,353 --> 00:17:11,155
going to realize from my

1035
00:17:11,155 --> 00:17:13,424
one trip a week

1036
00:17:13,424 --> 00:17:14,240
. A revenue of

1037
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,893
about

1038
00:17:15,893 --> 00:17:17,628
$138. Thank you, Jody

1039
00:17:17,628 --> 00:17:18,462
.

1040
00:17:18,462 --> 00:17:20,196
Thank you. 3 minutes are up

1041
00:17:20,196 --> 00:17:20,731
.

1042
00:17:20,731 --> 00:17:21,899
Thank you. All

1043
00:17:21,899 --> 00:17:22,533
right,

1044
00:17:22,533 --> 00:17:22,867
Glennville and then Steve

1045
00:17:22,867 --> 00:17:24,867
Orsini

1046
00:17:33,577 --> 00:17:33,844
. Glenville 4453 Edens

1047
00:17:33,844 --> 00:17:35,546
Road

1048
00:17:35,546 --> 00:17:35,913
, Guaymas Island

1049
00:17:35,913 --> 00:17:36,380
, and uh

1050
00:17:36,380 --> 00:17:38,820
I'd

1051
00:17:38,820 --> 00:17:38,815
like to reiterate what

1052
00:17:38,815 --> 00:17:40,160
Michael

1053
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:40,551
Brown

1054
00:17:40,551 --> 00:17:40,851
said about just

1055
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:42,586
being

1056
00:17:42,586 --> 00:17:42,887
here and and uh

1057
00:17:42,887 --> 00:17:43,187
Why

1058
00:17:43,187 --> 00:17:44,689
we're

1059
00:17:44,689 --> 00:17:45,890
in this

1060
00:17:45,890 --> 00:17:45,455
situation because for

1061
00:17:45,455 --> 00:17:47,580
me it's

1062
00:17:47,580 --> 00:17:47,792
particularly disturbing

1063
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,460
having served on the ferry

1064
00:17:49,460 --> 00:17:50,228
Committee for

1065
00:17:50,228 --> 00:17:51,395
Over

1066
00:17:51,395 --> 00:17:51,963
30

1067
00:17:51,963 --> 00:17:52,125
years

1068
00:17:52,125 --> 00:17:52,430
and

1069
00:17:52,430 --> 00:17:53,698
always

1070
00:17:53,698 --> 00:17:53,965
had a seat at

1071
00:17:53,965 --> 00:17:54,198
the table.

1072
00:17:54,198 --> 00:17:56,198
We

1073
00:17:56,367 --> 00:17:56,801
could always discuss

1074
00:17:56,801 --> 00:17:58,269
whatever was

1075
00:17:58,269 --> 00:17:59,700
going on, come up

1076
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:00,937
with a mutually agreed

1077
00:18:00,937 --> 00:18:01,338
a

1078
00:18:01,338 --> 00:18:02,773
decision

1079
00:18:02,773 --> 00:18:04,676
based on

1080
00:18:04,676 --> 00:18:05,243
factual

1081
00:18:05,243 --> 00:18:05,843
and

1082
00:18:05,843 --> 00:18:07,843
verifiable information

1083
00:18:09,130 --> 00:18:09,781
. And

1084
00:18:09,781 --> 00:18:10,114
instead of that now we have to

1085
00:18:10,114 --> 00:18:12,160
have a

1086
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:12,550
seat in court. It just

1087
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:13,785
doesn't seem right

1088
00:18:13,785 --> 00:18:14,510
to

1089
00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:14,352
me

1090
00:18:14,352 --> 00:18:14,853
, and I

1091
00:18:14,853 --> 00:18:16,387
know that we

1092
00:18:16,387 --> 00:18:16,955
have had a lot

1093
00:18:16,955 --> 00:18:18,655
of

1094
00:18:18,655 --> 00:18:19,357
success through the years with

1095
00:18:19,357 --> 00:18:20,325
the Ferry Committee, which

1096
00:18:20,325 --> 00:18:20,892
was

1097
00:18:20,892 --> 00:18:21,559
over 40 years old

1098
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:22,727
, I think

1099
00:18:22,727 --> 00:18:23,328
. I

1100
00:18:23,328 --> 00:18:23,661
was on it over

1101
00:18:23,661 --> 00:18:25,430
30 years

1102
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:25,830
, and so

1103
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:27,565
it is

1104
00:18:27,565 --> 00:18:28,366
disappointing to see that

1105
00:18:28,366 --> 00:18:30,268
it's taken this kind of a turn

1106
00:18:30,268 --> 00:18:30,935
,

1107
00:18:30,935 --> 00:18:32,300
so that's what I'd like

1108
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:32,303
to

1109
00:18:32,303 --> 00:18:32,904
say

1110
00:18:32,904 --> 00:18:34,238
about that, but the

1111
00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:35,207
other thing

1112
00:18:35,207 --> 00:18:36,408
is about what's going

1113
00:18:36,408 --> 00:18:36,974
on now is

1114
00:18:36,974 --> 00:18:38,776
having some effect

1115
00:18:38,776 --> 00:18:39,477
. That's,

1116
00:18:39,477 --> 00:18:40,879
it's more than just

1117
00:18:40,879 --> 00:18:41,546
like what

1118
00:18:41,546 --> 00:18:43,281
Jody was talking about and

1119
00:18:43,281 --> 00:18:43,682
everyone else too

1120
00:18:43,682 --> 00:18:45,682
. Uh

1121
00:18:45,984 --> 00:18:46,351
, The

1122
00:18:46,351 --> 00:18:47,853
county

1123
00:18:47,853 --> 00:18:48,153
is actually not

1124
00:18:48,153 --> 00:18:48,754
getting

1125
00:18:48,754 --> 00:18:49,921
revenue

1126
00:18:49,921 --> 00:18:50,422
from

1127
00:18:50,422 --> 00:18:50,622
the taxing

1128
00:18:50,622 --> 00:18:50,889
sources

1129
00:18:50,889 --> 00:18:52,591
on

1130
00:18:52,591 --> 00:18:53,258
Guaymas Island and the way

1131
00:18:53,258 --> 00:18:54,292
that it used to, and I

1132
00:18:54,292 --> 00:18:54,859
, I will

1133
00:18:54,859 --> 00:18:55,293
leave this behind

1134
00:18:55,293 --> 00:18:56,528
. But

1135
00:18:56,528 --> 00:18:57,129
, uh

1136
00:18:57,129 --> 00:18:57,662
,

1137
00:18:57,662 --> 00:18:59,662
Just, for example

1138
00:18:59,731 --> 00:19:01,333
, I have these

1139
00:19:01,333 --> 00:19:01,833
rates here that

1140
00:19:01,833 --> 00:19:02,401
show that the

1141
00:19:02,401 --> 00:19:03,569
taxable value

1142
00:19:03,569 --> 00:19:05,569
in Guamass is

1143
00:19:06,271 --> 00:19:07,940
From 2023 slid

1144
00:19:07,940 --> 00:19:08,407
from

1145
00:19:08,407 --> 00:19:08,773
671

1146
00:19:08,773 --> 00:19:10,242
million

1147
00:19:10,242 --> 00:19:10,709
to

1148
00:19:10,709 --> 00:19:12,511
$594

1149
00:19:12,511 --> 00:19:12,845
million in 2025

1150
00:19:12,845 --> 00:19:13,112
. And

1151
00:19:13,112 --> 00:19:14,680
the

1152
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,114
county roads have

1153
00:19:15,114 --> 00:19:15,581
taken in

1154
00:19:15,581 --> 00:19:17,816
it was a high

1155
00:19:17,816 --> 00:19:19,384
of 872,000

1156
00:19:19,384 --> 00:19:19,718
in

1157
00:19:19,718 --> 00:19:21,619
2023

1158
00:19:21,619 --> 00:19:21,987
and 729,000

1159
00:19:21,987 --> 00:19:23,488
in 2025

1160
00:19:23,488 --> 00:19:23,989
. But

1161
00:19:23,989 --> 00:19:24,490
the total

1162
00:19:24,490 --> 00:19:25,857
taxes from

1163
00:19:25,857 --> 00:19:26,125
Guaymas

1164
00:19:26,125 --> 00:19:28,125
are

1165
00:19:30,229 --> 00:19:30,462
52023

1166
00:19:30,462 --> 00:19:31,960
, 4

1167
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,831
million plus

1168
00:19:32,831 --> 00:19:33,265
in

1169
00:19:33,265 --> 00:19:35,265
2024 and

1170
00:19:35,301 --> 00:19:37,200
4 million plus

1171
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,300
in 2025

1172
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:39,137
So it just goes to show

1173
00:19:39,137 --> 00:19:39,738
you

1174
00:19:39,738 --> 00:19:39,972
there's having some

1175
00:19:39,972 --> 00:19:40,539
other

1176
00:19:40,539 --> 00:19:41,807
repercussions with

1177
00:19:41,807 --> 00:19:42,475
these

1178
00:19:42,475 --> 00:19:44,376
unaffordable ferry fares

1179
00:19:44,376 --> 00:19:44,844
. So

1180
00:19:44,844 --> 00:19:46,278
that's the one

1181
00:19:46,278 --> 00:19:46,912
thing that the

1182
00:19:46,912 --> 00:19:48,581
other thing is I'd

1183
00:19:48,581 --> 00:19:49,248
like to

1184
00:19:49,248 --> 00:19:51,183
suggest that the county

1185
00:19:51,183 --> 00:19:51,617
commissioners take a hard look

1186
00:19:51,617 --> 00:19:53,617
at the

1187
00:19:53,719 --> 00:19:55,187
ferry

1188
00:19:55,187 --> 00:19:55,721
district providing

1189
00:19:55,721 --> 00:19:56,122
I found out

1190
00:19:56,122 --> 00:19:57,356
that with

1191
00:19:57,356 --> 00:19:58,457
the

1192
00:19:58,457 --> 00:19:59,992
taxable base and just going to

1193
00:19:59,992 --> 00:20:00,326
the maximum

1194
00:20:00,326 --> 00:20:02,326
of 10%

1195
00:20:02,461 --> 00:20:02,928
. Per 1000

1196
00:20:02,928 --> 00:20:04,463
you can raise

1197
00:20:04,463 --> 00:20:06,199
$3.5 million

1198
00:20:06,199 --> 00:20:06,666
. And

1199
00:20:06,666 --> 00:20:07,232
I think that

1200
00:20:07,232 --> 00:20:09,268
the road that the

1201
00:20:09,268 --> 00:20:09,425
ferry belongs in the road fund

1202
00:20:09,425 --> 00:20:09,669
.

1203
00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:10,936
You

1204
00:20:10,936 --> 00:20:11,170
find

1205
00:20:11,170 --> 00:20:11,670
it

1206
00:20:11,670 --> 00:20:13,573
, you don't have a

1207
00:20:13,573 --> 00:20:13,734
separate budget for the ferry

1208
00:20:13,734 --> 00:20:14,307
.

1209
00:20:14,307 --> 00:20:15,374
You find it in the

1210
00:20:15,374 --> 00:20:15,808
road fund. I

1211
00:20:15,808 --> 00:20:16,542
looked at the

1212
00:20:16,542 --> 00:20:18,177
entire budget and

1213
00:20:18,177 --> 00:20:18,444
the budget in the road fund is

1214
00:20:18,444 --> 00:20:20,313
over

1215
00:20:20,313 --> 00:20:21,140
$50 million

1216
00:20:21,140 --> 00:20:22,214
. Now

1217
00:20:22,214 --> 00:20:22,782
I don't

1218
00:20:22,782 --> 00:20:23,149
know exactly what part of

1219
00:20:23,149 --> 00:20:24,484
Assafari

1220
00:20:24,484 --> 00:20:25,118
, but the fact that it

1221
00:20:25,118 --> 00:20:25,417
is in with the roads, and

1222
00:20:25,417 --> 00:20:26,886
that's

1223
00:20:26,886 --> 00:20:27,187
the way they do it

1224
00:20:27,187 --> 00:20:27,619
up in

1225
00:20:27,619 --> 00:20:29,489
up in

1226

. I

1228
00:20:31,591 --> 00:20:31,752
would like to suggest that

1229
00:20:31,752 --> 00:20:31,991
we

1230
00:20:31,991 --> 00:20:33,526
form

1231
00:20:33,526 --> 00:20:34,327
a ferry district

1232
00:20:34,327 --> 00:20:36,129
. And, and

1233
00:20:36,129 --> 00:20:36,496
uh, and

1234
00:20:36,496 --> 00:20:37,964
enter

1235
00:20:37,964 --> 00:20:38,331
into a

1236
00:20:38,331 --> 00:20:38,631
new

1237
00:20:38,631 --> 00:20:38,932
where

1238
00:20:38,932 --> 00:20:40,699
the

1239
00:20:40,699 --> 00:20:41,167
ferry is part of the road

1240
00:20:41,167 --> 00:20:42,334
system and

1241
00:20:42,334 --> 00:20:42,735
not a

1242
00:20:42,735 --> 00:20:43,503
separate

1243
00:20:43,503 --> 00:20:44,304
division. Thank you. Thank you

Jeff Burdock

1249

is

1254
00:21:00,921 --> 00:21:01,220
Steve Orsini. I

1255
00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:03,220
live

1256
00:21:03,456 --> 00:21:04,991

1257
00:21:04,991 --> 00:21:05,759

00:21:05,759 --> 00:21:06,260
Guamass. Thank you for

1259
00:21:06,260 --> 00:21:07,895
the

1260
00:21:07,895 --> 00:21:09,129
opportunity to be here today

1261
00:21:09,129 --> 00:21:09,529
.

1262
00:21:09,529 --> 00:21:09,830
Um, I

1263
00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:11,665
have

1264
00:21:11,665 --> 00:21:12,990
to

1265
00:21:12,990 --> 00:21:14,990
forego my

1266
00:21:14,234 --> 00:21:14,735
prepared statement to

1267
00:21:14,735 --> 00:21:16,135
underscore several

1268
00:21:16,135 --> 00:21:16,570
things.

1269
00:21:16,570 --> 00:21:16,870
First of

1270
00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:18,639
all

1271
00:21:18,639 --> 00:21:19,406
, um, the county

1272
00:21:19,406 --> 00:21:20,908
staff

1273
00:21:20,908 --> 00:21:21,542
has

1274
00:21:21,542 --> 00:21:22,843
supplied us

1275
00:21:22,843 --> 00:21:23,877
with

1276
00:21:23,877 --> 00:21:25,780
an

1277
00:21:25,780 --> 00:21:25,913
a

1278
00:21:25,913 --> 00:21:26,379
promise that we would get a

1279
00:21:26,379 --> 00:21:27,748
full text

1280
00:21:27,748 --> 00:21:29,748
of the new

1281
00:21:30,517 --> 00:21:30,918
proposed

1282
00:21:30,918 --> 00:21:31,919
resolutions

1283
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:32,286
for

1284
00:21:32,286 --> 00:21:32,720
today's meeting

1285
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,220
We asked for

1286
00:21:34,220 --> 00:21:34,655
those and we

1287
00:21:34,655 --> 00:21:35,122
didn't

1288
00:21:35,122 --> 00:21:36,490
get anything

1289
00:21:36,490 --> 00:21:37,324
. I guess

1290
00:21:37,324 --> 00:21:38,792
you've redone some

1291
00:21:38,792 --> 00:21:39,326
parts of

1292
00:21:39,326 --> 00:21:41,600
both of those

1293
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:41,894
, maybe, but we

1294
00:21:41,894 --> 00:21:43,630
haven't seen anything

1295
00:21:43,630 --> 00:21:43,797
, so

1296
00:21:43,797 --> 00:21:44,265
our

1297
00:21:44,265 --> 00:21:45,532
reason for

1298
00:21:45,532 --> 00:21:46,166
being here

1299
00:21:46,166 --> 00:21:48,166
today is

1300
00:21:48,402 --> 00:21:48,736
very

1301
00:21:48,736 --> 00:21:49,870
confusing

1302
00:21:49,870 --> 00:21:50,136
2

1303
00:21:50,136 --> 00:21:50,572
is

1304
00:21:50,572 --> 00:21:50,733
that uh Mr

1305
00:21:50,733 --> 00:21:51,720
.

1306
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,606
Fahlquist

1307
00:21:52,606 --> 00:21:54,606
, your attorney

1308
00:21:54,675 --> 00:21:55,309
, uh,

1309
00:21:55,309 --> 00:21:57,110
just restated the case

1310
00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:57,611
. That

1311
00:21:57,611 --> 00:21:58,913
was brought before

1312
00:21:58,913 --> 00:22:00,913
the judge

1313
00:22:00,915 --> 00:22:01,415
.

1314
00:22:01,415 --> 00:22:01,816
And defended

1315
00:22:01,816 --> 00:22:02,149
it

1316
00:22:02,149 --> 00:22:03,451
again

1317
00:22:03,451 --> 00:22:03,884
in terms

1318
00:22:03,884 --> 00:22:05,720
of the

1319
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,530
fair calculation

1320
00:22:06,530 --> 00:22:06,487
,

1321
00:22:06,487 --> 00:22:08,189
particularly

1322
00:22:08,189 --> 00:22:08,422
, and the judge

1323
00:22:08,422 --> 00:22:09,560
has

1324
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,791
found against Skadget

1325
00:22:10,791 --> 00:22:11,159
. Each

1326
00:22:11,159 --> 00:22:12,627
time and

1327
00:22:12,627 --> 00:22:12,799
asked you to go

1328
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:13,160
back

1329
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,862
and make

1330
00:22:14,862 --> 00:22:15,730
a

1331
00:22:15,730 --> 00:22:17,365
meaningful

1332
00:22:17,365 --> 00:22:17,598
recalculation. So what

1333
00:22:17,598 --> 00:22:19,400
was

1334
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:19,767
stated

1335
00:22:19,767 --> 00:22:20,168
today

1336
00:22:20,168 --> 00:22:21,235
was something

1337
00:22:21,235 --> 00:22:21,903
that

1338
00:22:21,903 --> 00:22:22,203
is already settled in

1339
00:22:22,203 --> 00:22:23,538
court

1340
00:22:23,538 --> 00:22:24,171
. We

1341
00:22:24,171 --> 00:22:24,438
thought we were going

1342
00:22:24,438 --> 00:22:24,839
to move

1343
00:22:24,839 --> 00:22:26,240
beyond that

1344
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:26,841
. Uh

1345
00:22:26,841 --> 00:22:28,775
, our

1346
00:22:28,775 --> 00:22:30,578
attorney

1347
00:22:30,578 --> 00:22:31,212
received on

1348
00:22:31,212 --> 00:22:32,513
this morning

1349
00:22:32,513 --> 00:22:33,810
, a

1350
00:22:33,810 --> 00:22:33,615
notification from

1351
00:22:33,615 --> 00:22:35,490
the county

1352
00:22:35,490 --> 00:22:35,650
that they

1353
00:22:35,650 --> 00:22:37,285
have

1354
00:22:37,285 --> 00:22:37,919
appealed the

1355
00:22:37,919 --> 00:22:39,919
JULY 31st

1356
00:22:40,455 --> 00:22:41,589
. Remand order

1357
00:22:41,589 --> 00:22:42,123
from

1358
00:22:42,123 --> 00:22:44,250
the judge, which

1359
00:22:44,250 --> 00:22:44,692
caused this

1360
00:22:44,692 --> 00:22:46,260
meeting. Now you

1361
00:22:46,260 --> 00:22:46,660
have appealed

1362
00:22:46,660 --> 00:22:47,162
that to

1363
00:22:47,162 --> 00:22:48,563
appellate court

1364
00:22:48,563 --> 00:22:49,330
. So

1365
00:22:49,330 --> 00:22:50,598
it's obvious that number

1366
00:22:50,598 --> 00:22:50,965
one

1367
00:22:50,965 --> 00:22:51,499
,

1368
00:22:51,499 --> 00:22:53,168
the communication

1369
00:22:53,168 --> 00:22:53,535
is

1370
00:22:53,535 --> 00:22:53,802
terrible

1371
00:22:53,802 --> 00:22:54,350
.

1372
00:22:54,350 --> 00:22:55,837
2

1373
00:22:55,837 --> 00:22:57,572
is that you, you're not

1374
00:22:57,572 --> 00:22:58,273
.

1375
00:22:58,273 --> 00:22:59,541
Following the judge's

1376
00:22:59,541 --> 00:23:00,208
original

1377
00:23:00,208 --> 00:23:00,575
order, and I guess we have to

1378
00:23:00,575 --> 00:23:02,110
go to

1379
00:23:02,110 --> 00:23:02,410
appellate court

1380
00:23:02,410 --> 00:23:02,877
now to

1381
00:23:02,877 --> 00:23:04,877
prove that

1382
00:23:06,281 --> 00:23:06,715
. My

1383
00:23:06,715 --> 00:23:07,482
comments were

1384
00:23:07,482 --> 00:23:08,683
About

1385
00:23:08,683 --> 00:23:10,683
how to fix

1386
00:23:11,253 --> 00:23:12,530
The system for

1387
00:23:12,530 --> 00:23:13,155
the long run so that we

1388
00:23:13,155 --> 00:23:13,655
can, we

1389
00:23:13,655 --> 00:23:13,956
can both

1390
00:23:13,956 --> 00:23:15,891
survive

1391
00:23:15,891 --> 00:23:16,391
, but I'll just

1392
00:23:16,391 --> 00:23:17,626
submit those

1393
00:23:17,626 --> 00:23:17,959
as

1394
00:23:17,959 --> 00:23:18,427
written

1395
00:23:18,427 --> 00:23:20,427
comments, and

1396
00:23:22,164 --> 00:23:22,597
I'm more

1397
00:23:22,597 --> 00:23:23,131
than

1398
00:23:23,131 --> 00:23:24,566
frustrated about

1399
00:23:24,566 --> 00:23:24,833
the procedure

1400
00:23:24,833 --> 00:23:25,367
this

1401
00:23:25,367 --> 00:23:26,535
morning and

1402
00:23:26,535 --> 00:23:26,694
what

1403
00:23:26,694 --> 00:23:27,436
has

1404
00:23:27,436 --> 00:23:30,436
happened to us. Thank you

1405
00:23:35,611 --> 00:23:36,145
. Jeff

1406

Burdock with uh

Devon Havens

1408
00:23:39,948 --> 00:23:40,315
.

1409
00:23:40,315 --> 00:23:42,315
On deck

1410
00:23:45,521 --> 00:23:47,521
jeopardize

1411
00:23:47,790 --> 00:23:48,958
South

1412
00:23:48,958 --> 00:23:49,257
Shore

1413
00:23:49,257 --> 00:23:51,257
Drive

1414
00:23:52,127 --> 00:23:52,494
. And I'm a

1415
00:23:52,494 --> 00:23:54,263
grateful

Skagia County Ferry rider

1417
00:23:54,424 --> 00:23:54,662
for

1418
00:23:54,662 --> 00:23:55,931
the

1419

, the

1420
00:23:56,432 --> 00:23:56,932
last

1421
00:23:56,932 --> 00:23:58,767
34+ years. I'd

1422
00:23:58,767 --> 00:23:59,168
like to talk about public trust

1423
00:23:59,168 --> 00:24:00,669
and input

1424
00:24:00,669 --> 00:24:00,902

00:24:02,705 --> 00:24:03,720
lot

1429
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:03,472
has changed

1430
00:24:03,472 --> 00:24:03,706
. We embarked

1431
00:24:03,706 --> 00:24:04,940
on

1432
00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:05,608
an

1433
00:24:05,608 --> 00:24:07,342
all-electric ferry design

1434
00:24:07,342 --> 00:24:07,742
Ending

1435
00:24:07,742 --> 00:24:08,110
in

1436
00:24:08,110 --> 00:24:09,445
2025 with

1437
00:24:09,445 --> 00:24:09,879
just the

1438
00:24:09,879 --> 00:24:11,879
design and

1439
00:24:11,881 --> 00:24:13,782
$1.5 million spent

1440
00:24:13,782 --> 00:24:14,417
.

1441
00:24:14,417 --> 00:24:14,684
2024 kicked in a new

1442
00:24:14,684 --> 00:24:15,500
electronic

1443
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:16,552
ticketing

1444
00:24:16,552 --> 00:24:16,818
replacing the

1445
00:24:16,818 --> 00:24:17,153
punch

1446
00:24:17,153 --> 00:24:19,121
card

1447
00:24:19,121 --> 00:24:19,522
. This entails also a new

1448
00:24:19,522 --> 00:24:21,900
crew member

1449
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:21,423
, assistant manager,

1450
00:24:21,423 --> 00:24:21,824
plus a

1451
00:24:21,824 --> 00:24:22,959
yearly cost

1452
00:24:22,959 --> 00:24:23,326
to

1453
00:24:23,326 --> 00:24:24,590
anchor of

1454
00:24:24,590 --> 00:24:26,590
around

1455
00:24:26,395 --> 00:24:27,430
$900,000 90,000 dollars

1456
00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:27,797
,

1457
00:24:27,797 --> 00:24:28,331
excuse me

1458
00:24:28,331 --> 00:24:29,732
, back to the

1459
00:24:29,732 --> 00:24:30,399
island

1460
00:24:30,399 --> 00:24:30,833
after witnessing the Guaymas

1461
00:24:30,833 --> 00:24:32,100
parking lot

1462
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:32,435
with

1463
00:24:32,435 --> 00:24:32,869
100 cars

1464
00:24:32,869 --> 00:24:34,470
at

1465
00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:35,400
midwinter, at

1466
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:35,271
the invitation of

1467
00:24:35,271 --> 00:24:36,539
gpac

1468
00:24:36,539 --> 00:24:37,600
, you

1469
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:37,273
came up with a

1470
00:24:37,273 --> 00:24:37,540
design

1471
00:24:37,540 --> 00:24:38,875
for

1472
00:24:38,875 --> 00:24:39,342
57 cars

1473
00:24:39,342 --> 00:24:39,575
. You

1474
00:24:39,575 --> 00:24:40,810
are

1475
00:24:40,810 --> 00:24:41,210
sending

1476
00:24:41,210 --> 00:24:41,577
that out to

1477
00:24:41,577 --> 00:24:42,450
a

1478
00:24:42,450 --> 00:24:43,646
consultant we're

1479
00:24:43,646 --> 00:24:43,813
going to have limited

1480
00:24:43,813 --> 00:24:44,246
direct

1481
00:24:44,246 --> 00:24:46,246
public input

1482
00:24:46,282 --> 00:24:46,482
. A couple of

1483
00:24:46,482 --> 00:24:46,749
years

1484
00:24:46,749 --> 00:24:47,850
back

1485
00:24:47,850 --> 00:24:48,585
, we

1486
00:24:48,585 --> 00:24:50,420
learned from the

1487
00:24:50,420 --> 00:24:50,820
Seattle Times that the county

1488
00:24:50,820 --> 00:24:52,622
missed out

1489
00:24:52,622 --> 00:24:53,256
on 1.2 million of

1490
00:24:53,256 --> 00:24:55,225
federal ferry boat funds

1491
00:24:55,225 --> 00:24:55,725
. The

1492
00:24:55,725 --> 00:24:56,960
newsletters that

1493
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:57,527
you send out

1494
00:24:57,527 --> 00:24:59,129
are great, but it's

1495
00:24:59,129 --> 00:24:59,562
a one-way

1496
00:24:59,562 --> 00:24:59,897
conversation

1497
00:24:59,897 --> 00:25:01,264
. At our

1498
00:25:01,264 --> 00:25:01,897
actual

1499
00:25:01,897 --> 00:25:03,566
public meeting, you pay

1500
00:25:03,566 --> 00:25:04,434
to

1501
00:25:04,434 --> 00:25:06,102
facilitator almost

1502
00:25:06,102 --> 00:25:06,469
$8000. Both

1503
00:25:06,469 --> 00:25:06,736
of these

1504
00:25:06,736 --> 00:25:08,104
were

1505
00:25:08,104 --> 00:25:08,267
on costs to

1506
00:25:08,267 --> 00:25:08,605
the

1507
00:25:08,605 --> 00:25:10,605
islanders

1508
00:25:10,740 --> 00:25:11,107
. The majority of us

1509
00:25:11,107 --> 00:25:12,409
did not

1510
00:25:12,409 --> 00:25:12,642
want

1511
00:25:12,642 --> 00:25:13,242
an

1512
00:25:13,242 --> 00:25:13,610
all-electric

1513
00:25:13,610 --> 00:25:14,811
ferry and

1514
00:25:14,811 --> 00:25:15,211
questioned

1515
00:25:15,211 --> 00:25:15,845
its

1516
00:25:15,845 --> 00:25:17,247
reliability and cost

1517
00:25:17,247 --> 00:25:17,420
. We

1518
00:25:17,420 --> 00:25:18,810
also

1519
00:25:18,810 --> 00:25:19,215
saw no advantage with

1520
00:25:19,215 --> 00:25:20,250
the

1521
00:25:20,250 --> 00:25:21,284
ticketing system we shook

1522
00:25:21,284 --> 00:25:21,751
our

1523
00:25:21,751 --> 00:25:22,352
heads when we

1524
00:25:22,352 --> 00:25:23,687
were told we

1525
00:25:23,687 --> 00:25:24,354
were

1526
00:25:24,354 --> 00:25:24,654
reducing our parking lot

1527
00:25:24,654 --> 00:25:25,822
to

1528
00:25:25,822 --> 00:25:26,123
57

1529
00:25:26,123 --> 00:25:26,757
cars

1530
00:25:26,757 --> 00:25:26,990
. Then

1531
00:25:26,990 --> 00:25:28,491
the

1532
00:25:28,491 --> 00:25:29,258
annual price

1533
00:25:29,258 --> 00:25:31,658
increases of tickets starting

1534
00:25:31,828 --> 00:25:33,630
in 2023-2014

1535
00:25:33,630 --> 00:25:35,265
, 1430, 30, and

1536
00:25:35,265 --> 00:25:35,565
in

1537
00:25:35,565 --> 00:25:36,366
2027

1538
00:25:36,366 --> 00:25:37,868
, another 14%

1539
00:25:37,868 --> 00:25:38,101
. When

1540
00:25:38,101 --> 00:25:40,101
we

1541
00:25:40,170 --> 00:25:40,771
questioned it, you tell us that

1542
00:25:40,771 --> 00:25:42,606
we're complaining

1543
00:25:42,606 --> 00:25:44,508
. And

1544
00:25:44,508 --> 00:25:44,975
sometimes ungrateful the

1545
00:25:44,975 --> 00:25:46,577
service that

1546
00:25:46,577 --> 00:25:46,977
we're getting. We

1547
00:25:46,977 --> 00:25:47,544
keep

1548
00:25:47,544 --> 00:25:48,712
asking for a

1549
00:25:48,712 --> 00:25:49,413
ferry

1550
00:25:49,413 --> 00:25:49,680
committee back to be involved

1551
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,980
to

1552
00:25:50,980 --> 00:25:51,150
make use of our

1553
00:25:51,150 --> 00:25:51,782
free

1554
00:25:51,782 --> 00:25:53,217
knowledge has shown

1555
00:25:53,217 --> 00:25:53,917
when a tag

1556
00:25:53,917 --> 00:25:55,953
committee was formed and

1557
00:25:55,953 --> 00:25:57,321
excellent work they produce

1558
00:25:57,321 --> 00:25:57,588
.

1559
00:25:57,588 --> 00:25:58,188
Then

1560
00:25:58,188 --> 00:25:58,656
in 2023 you

1561
00:25:58,656 --> 00:26:00,424
terminated the

1562
00:26:00,424 --> 00:26:02,659
ferry committee which started

1563
00:26:02,659 --> 00:26:02,960
in 1979. A lot of this could

1564
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,695
have

1565
00:26:04,695 --> 00:26:05,562
been avoided if we were

1566
00:26:05,562 --> 00:26:06,663
communicating openly

1567
00:26:06,663 --> 00:26:07,631
with each

1568
00:26:07,631 --> 00:26:09,366
other. We did not want to go to

1569
00:26:09,366 --> 00:26:10,340
court to appeal your

1570
00:26:10,340 --> 00:26:11,235
referendums, but when

1571
00:26:11,235 --> 00:26:11,602
forced by

1572
00:26:11,602 --> 00:26:12,360
lack of

1573
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:13,303
communication

1574
00:26:13,303 --> 00:26:14,103
, our

1575
00:26:14,103 --> 00:26:14,438
livelihood being threatened by

1576
00:26:14,438 --> 00:26:16,107
cost

1577
00:26:16,107 --> 00:26:16,407
increases, we felt we had

1578
00:26:16,407 --> 00:26:16,974
to

1579
00:26:16,974 --> 00:26:17,975
do

1580
00:26:17,975 --> 00:26:18,408
something

1581
00:26:18,408 --> 00:26:18,709
. This

1582
00:26:18,709 --> 00:26:20,311
last 5

1583
00:26:20,311 --> 00:26:20,644
years has

1584
00:26:20,644 --> 00:26:21,110
been

1585
00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:21,379
exhausting. I'm

1586
00:26:21,379 --> 00:26:22,413
sure for

1587
00:26:22,413 --> 00:26:22,979
all of us

1588
00:26:22,979 --> 00:26:23,347
. I reminisce

1589
00:26:23,347 --> 00:26:25,149
about the

1590
00:26:25,149 --> 00:26:25,883
old days when all we

1591
00:26:25,883 --> 00:26:26,617
talked about was local gossip

1592
00:26:26,617 --> 00:26:26,884
.

1593
00:26:26,884 --> 00:26:27,451
Up

1594
00:26:27,451 --> 00:26:27,852
. So

1595
00:26:27,852 --> 00:26:29,530
I'm asking

1596
00:26:29,530 --> 00:26:29,320
for 3

1597
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:29,587
things.

1598
00:26:29,587 --> 00:26:30,154
One

1599
00:26:30,154 --> 00:26:31,455
, please reinstate

1600
00:26:31,455 --> 00:26:32,560
the ferry

1601
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,391
Committee, all other

1602
00:26:33,391 --> 00:26:34,224
ferry

1603
00:26:34,224 --> 00:26:34,592
operations in the state have

1604
00:26:34,592 --> 00:26:35,960
ferry

1605
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,360
committees

1606
00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:36,527
to

1607
00:26:36,527 --> 00:26:36,961
please

1608
00:26:36,961 --> 00:26:38,950
truly abide

1609
00:26:38,950 --> 00:26:38,596
by

1610
00:26:38,596 --> 00:26:40,596
Judge Von's

1611
00:26:40,731 --> 00:26:41,632
decision, and 3, let's have

1612
00:26:41,632 --> 00:26:42,533
open communication so we

1613
00:26:42,533 --> 00:26:43,300
can

1614
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:43,601
all feel that we are

1615
00:26:43,601 --> 00:26:45,300
making

1616
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:45,703
the

1617
00:26:45,703 --> 00:26:46,971
right decision, and

1618
00:26:46,971 --> 00:26:47,304
4

1619
00:26:47,304 --> 00:26:47,472
, it's

1620
00:26:47,472 --> 00:26:48,720
my

1621
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,307
birthday and I'm

1622
00:26:49,307 --> 00:26:49,741
78

1623
00:26:49,741 --> 00:26:49,974
tomorrow

1624
00:26:49,974 --> 00:26:50,375
.

1625
00:26:50,375 --> 00:26:52,309
Please put

1626
00:26:52,309 --> 00:26:52,810
the

1627
00:26:52,810 --> 00:26:53,411

.

1686
00:27:55,541 --> 00:27:56,808
That has been

1687
00:27:56,808 --> 00:27:56,968
spent on

1688
00:27:56,968 --> 00:27:57,442
the

1689
00:27:57,442 --> 00:27:59,442
ferry and in

1690
00:27:59,845 --> 00:28:00,144
my opinion

1691
00:28:00,144 --> 00:28:00,446
, in a

1692
00:28:00,446 --> 00:28:00,713

00:28:00,713 --> 00:28:01,446
that

1694
00:28:01,446 --> 00:28:01,880
is

1695
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,880
ill advised

1696
00:28:04,650 --> 00:28:06,185

1697
00:28:06,185 --> 00:28:06,418
would like

1698
00:28:06,418 --> 00:28:06,752

00:28:06,752 --> 00:28:08,530

00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:11,230
. One

1705
00:28:11,230 --> 00:28:11,390
is

1706
00:28:11,390 --> 00:28:12,791
that

1707
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:13,625
each one

00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:14,927
of you take

1709
00:28:14,927 --> 00:28:15,227

1710
00:28:15,227 --> 00:28:15,794
good

1719
00:28:21,934 --> 00:28:23,934
the ferry

1720
00:28:24,337 --> 00:28:24,570
. Something's

1721
00:28:24,570 --> 00:28:24,903
wrong

1722
00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:26,505
there

1723
00:28:26,505 --> 00:28:26,739

1724
00:28:26,739 --> 00:28:27,173

1725
00:28:27,173 --> 00:28:28,474

Commissioner Burns, I believe

1790
00:29:26,766 --> 00:29:27,534
I

1791
00:29:27,534 --> 00:29:28,168
can answer your question for

1792
00:29:28,168 --> 00:29:29,436
you that you asked Mr

.

1794
00:29:30,236 --> 00:29:31,171
Fahlquist that he was unable

00:29:31,171 --> 00:29:32,500
to

1796
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:32,238
answer, and the answer is

1797
00:29:32,238 --> 00:29:33,807
yes

1798
00:29:33,807 --> 00:29:34,641
.

1799
00:29:34,641 --> 00:29:36,643
Those numbers were before you

1800
00:29:36,643 --> 00:29:37,210
in 2024 when they made the

1801
00:29:37,210 --> 00:29:38,745
decision, and that

1802
00:29:38,745 --> 00:29:39,179
is exactly

1803
00:29:39,179 --> 00:29:40,380
why

1804
00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:40,981
Judge

1805
00:29:40,981 --> 00:29:41,414
Judge Loring ruled as

1806
00:29:41,414 --> 00:29:43,383
she

1807
00:29:43,383 --> 00:29:44,840
did

1808
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:44,484
. Those numbers were

1809
00:29:44,484 --> 00:29:45,819

1812
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:46,920

1813
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,187

1819
00:29:51,591 --> 00:29:51,858
she ruled

1820
00:29:51,858 --> 00:29:52,225

00:29:52,225 --> 00:29:52,693

Judge Loring also has told you

1830
00:29:59,232 --> 00:30:00,867
what

1831
00:30:00,867 --> 00:30:01,568
self-serving language

1832
00:30:01,568 --> 00:30:01,836
looks like in a resolution, and

1833
00:30:01,836 --> 00:30:03,403
it

1834
00:30:03,403 --> 00:30:04,137
sounds like you're about to

1835
00:30:04,137 --> 00:30:06,390
do the exact same thing today

1836
00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:06,807
.

1837
00:30:06,807 --> 00:30:07,507
But if you did what the

1838
00:30:07,507 --> 00:30:08,242
judge

1839
00:30:08,242 --> 00:30:08,775
also ordered, you would go back

1840
00:30:08,775 --> 00:30:10,775
and redo the 2024

1841
00:30:11,345 --> 00:30:11,645
. Target

1842
00:30:11,645 --> 00:30:12,146
report

1843
00:30:12,146 --> 00:30:12,413
. And if you

1844
00:30:12,413 --> 00:30:13,180
started that

1845
00:30:13,180 --> 00:30:14,748
exercise, you'd go through it

1846
00:30:14,748 --> 00:30:15,480
and you'd see that there's much

1847
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,480
more

1848
00:30:17,251 --> 00:30:18,786
. Beyond just even

1849
00:30:18,786 --> 00:30:19,585
the

1850
00:30:19,585 --> 00:30:21,522
budgeted numbers of a projected

1851
00:30:21,522 --> 00:30:21,685
budget numbers that include

1852
00:30:21,685 --> 00:30:22,256
the

1853
00:30:22,256 --> 00:30:23,490
capital that need to

1854
00:30:23,490 --> 00:30:24,358
be

1855
00:30:24,358 --> 00:30:26,930
investigated further. You will

1856
00:30:26,930 --> 00:30:26,293
clearly see that the

1857
00:30:26,293 --> 00:30:26,593
cpi index

1858
00:30:26,593 --> 00:30:27,661
was

1859
00:30:27,661 --> 00:30:28,195
not

1860
00:30:28,195 --> 00:30:28,762
properly used on

1861
00:30:28,762 --> 00:30:30,531
the

1862
00:30:30,531 --> 00:30:32,199
2024 target report, it

1863
00:30:32,199 --> 00:30:32,733
says

1864
00:30:32,733 --> 00:30:33,100
2.64%, it comes out

1865
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:34,868
at 16%

1866
00:30:34,868 --> 00:30:35,369
. You

1867
00:30:35,369 --> 00:30:36,870
also have to

1868
00:30:36,870 --> 00:30:37,471
ask yourself, how

1869
00:30:37,471 --> 00:30:37,838
exactly was it that you

1870
00:30:37,838 --> 00:30:39,273
budgeted

1871
00:30:39,273 --> 00:30:41,273
only

1872
00:30:41,742 --> 00:30:42,376
$200,000 for 2025

1873
00:30:42,376 --> 00:30:43,310
a year that you knew

1874
00:30:43,310 --> 00:30:44,110
that you

1875
00:30:44,110 --> 00:30:44,378
had a haul out, that you knew

1876
00:30:44,378 --> 00:30:45,813
that you

1877
00:30:45,813 --> 00:30:46,280
were

1878
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:46,914
purchasing

1879
00:30:46,914 --> 00:30:48,149
engines, all of that

1880
00:30:48,149 --> 00:30:48,683
, and then

1881
00:30:48,683 --> 00:30:49,830
I'm not saying that the

1882
00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:50,384
projected

1883
00:30:50,384 --> 00:30:50,685
budget or

1884
00:30:50,685 --> 00:30:51,118
the o&m,

1885
00:30:51,118 --> 00:30:52,553
the Capitol

1886
00:30:52,553 --> 00:30:52,711
was clearly

1887
00:30:52,711 --> 00:30:53,287
put

1888
00:30:53,287 --> 00:30:53,754
aside for the engines. I'm

1889
00:30:53,754 --> 00:30:54,922
talking about

1890
00:30:54,922 --> 00:30:55,222
the

1891
00:30:55,222 --> 00:30:55,957
engine

1892
00:30:55,957 --> 00:30:56,357
installation. You knew all that

1893
00:30:56,357 --> 00:30:57,325
was going

1894
00:30:57,325 --> 00:30:57,625
to happen, but you

1895
00:30:57,625 --> 00:30:59,260
only

1896
00:30:59,260 --> 00:30:59,927
put

1897
00:30:59,927 --> 00:31:00,328
$200,000 but what did

1898
00:31:00,328 --> 00:31:01,896
you end up

1899
00:31:01,896 --> 00:31:03,798
spending? Over

1900
00:31:03,798 --> 00:31:04,132
$1.3

1901
00:31:04,132 --> 00:31:04,932
million

1902
00:31:04,932 --> 00:31:06,660
. Where, where

1903
00:31:06,660 --> 00:31:06,334
was

1904
00:31:06,334 --> 00:31:06,868
that

1905
00:31:06,868 --> 00:31:08,169
money? So when

1906
00:31:08,169 --> 00:31:08,903
, when you come

1907
00:31:08,903 --> 00:31:09,203
up with this Christmas miracle

1908
00:31:09,203 --> 00:31:11,203
of a

1909
00:31:11,605 --> 00:31:12,840
4.69 looky looky here

1910
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:13,374
.

1911
00:31:13,374 --> 00:31:13,875
It's exactly the same, so

1912
00:31:13,875 --> 00:31:15,543
there's nothing

1913
00:31:15,543 --> 00:31:16,100
to recalculate.

1914
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:18,100
That is the

1915
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,181
biggest load of

1916
00:31:20,181 --> 00:31:20,682
garbage I had ever heard. Then

1917
00:31:20,682 --> 00:31:20,982
what are just

1918
00:31:20,982 --> 00:31:21,548
think in your

1919
00:31:21,548 --> 00:31:21,982
head for one second

1920
00:31:21,982 --> 00:31:22,216
what

1921
00:31:22,216 --> 00:31:22,750
the

1922
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:24,840
statistical odds

1923
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:24,285
are of

1924
00:31:24,285 --> 00:31:24,652
a

1925
00:31:24,652 --> 00:31:25,253
number

1926
00:31:25,253 --> 00:31:27,121
being projected

1927
00:31:27,121 --> 00:31:27,488
in 2024

1928
00:31:27,488 --> 00:31:28,890
and you

1929
00:31:28,890 --> 00:31:29,900
have all the

1930
00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:29,423
staffing

1931
00:31:29,423 --> 00:31:30,959
costs

1932
00:31:30,959 --> 00:31:31,626
, the fuel

1933
00:31:31,626 --> 00:31:32,894
, the hull out

1934
00:31:32,894 --> 00:31:33,628
,

1935
00:31:33,628 --> 00:31:34,270
the two, the propeller fell off

1936
00:31:34,270 --> 00:31:35,764
The second

1937
00:31:35,764 --> 00:31:35,964
. Haul out

1938
00:31:35,964 --> 00:31:36,431
at 10

1939
00:31:36,431 --> 00:31:37,932
weeks turned

1940
00:31:37,932 --> 00:31:38,199
into 11 weeks. All

1941
00:31:38,199 --> 00:31:38,766
the

1942
00:31:38,766 --> 00:31:40,402
different things

1943
00:31:40,402 --> 00:31:40,769
that

1944
00:31:40,769 --> 00:31:41,268
happened

1945
00:31:41,268 --> 00:31:41,970
in 2025

1946
00:31:41,970 --> 00:31:42,604
and we're

1947
00:31:42,604 --> 00:31:43,137
expected to believe that the

1948
00:31:43,137 --> 00:31:44,372
number turned out

1949
00:31:44,372 --> 00:31:44,541
exactly

1950
00:31:44,541 --> 00:31:44,772
the

1951
00:31:44,772 --> 00:31:45,273
same

1952
00:31:45,273 --> 00:31:46,841
, and even if

1953
00:31:46,841 --> 00:31:47,576
it does turn

1954
00:31:47,576 --> 00:31:48,809
out to be exactly the same

1955
00:31:48,809 --> 00:31:49,377
,

1956
00:31:49,377 --> 00:31:49,878
it's still irrelevant. You

1957
00:31:49,878 --> 00:31:51,145
still have to

1958
00:31:51,145 --> 00:31:51,546
go back and look

1959
00:31:51,546 --> 00:31:51,947
at all of

1960
00:31:51,947 --> 00:31:53,715
the

1961
00:31:53,715 --> 00:31:54,483
entire 2024

1962
00:31:54,483 --> 00:31:56,218
target report and look at all

1963
00:31:56,218 --> 00:31:56,685
the decisions that were made,

1964
00:31:56,685 --> 00:31:57,953
and I'd also

1965
00:31:57,953 --> 00:31:58,253
like you to

1966
00:31:58,253 --> 00:31:58,753
think

1967
00:31:58,753 --> 00:32:00,154
back to

1968
00:32:00,154 --> 00:32:00,822
OCTOBER

1969
00:32:00,822 --> 00:32:01,890
of

1970
00:32:01,890 --> 00:32:02,457
2024

1971
00:32:02,457 --> 00:32:03,124
when

1972
00:32:03,124 --> 00:32:03,492
your staff found out that they

1973
00:32:03,492 --> 00:32:05,393
lost 1.3

1974
00:32:05,393 --> 00:32:07,129
. Million dollars in

1975
00:32:07,129 --> 00:32:07,629
federal ferry boat program

1976
00:32:07,629 --> 00:32:09,364
funds and then 2

1977
00:32:09,364 --> 00:32:09,698
weeks later

1978
00:32:09,698 --> 00:32:10,132
stood

1979
00:32:10,132 --> 00:32:11,500
before you in

1980
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:12,200
a, in a

1981
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,467
work session that none of

1982
00:32:13,467 --> 00:32:14,268
us

1983
00:32:14,268 --> 00:32:14,426
knew about, and they called

1984
00:32:14,426 --> 00:32:14,636
us

1985
00:32:14,636 --> 00:32:15,837
an

1986
00:32:15,837 --> 00:32:16,471
angry mob

1987
00:32:16,471 --> 00:32:16,634
. They told us

1988
00:32:16,634 --> 00:32:16,939
that

1989
00:32:16,939 --> 00:32:18,400
we put

1990
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:18,340
our

1991
00:32:18,340 --> 00:32:18,606
thumbs

1992
00:32:18,606 --> 00:32:18,874
over

1993
00:32:18,874 --> 00:32:19,141
the the

1994
00:32:19,141 --> 00:32:20,976
no

1995
00:32:20,976 --> 00:32:22,311
expiry cards or the

1996
00:32:22,311 --> 00:32:22,978
, the

1997
00:32:22,978 --> 00:32:23,612
tickets, all the things that

1998
00:32:23,612 --> 00:32:24,713
they said to us while

1999
00:32:24,713 --> 00:32:25,380
you're

2000
00:32:25,380 --> 00:32:26,480
making a decision and what did

2001
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,480
you turn around and do

2002
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:27,449
? You

2003
00:32:27,449 --> 00:32:27,716
raised our

2004
00:32:27,716 --> 00:32:27,983
fares

2005
00:32:27,983 --> 00:32:29,284
more

2006
00:32:29,284 --> 00:32:29,618
. You went

2007
00:32:29,618 --> 00:32:29,851
beyond

2008
00:32:29,851 --> 00:32:30,285
the

2009
00:32:30,285 --> 00:32:30,585
30% and you took

2010
00:32:30,585 --> 00:32:31,520
away

2011
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,154
our

2012
00:32:32,154 --> 00:32:32,488
most coveted discount

2013
00:32:32,488 --> 00:32:34,188
of all

2014
00:32:34,188 --> 00:32:34,556
, our

2015
00:32:34,556 --> 00:32:35,570
multi-ride fair.

2016
00:32:35,570 --> 00:32:36,258
Good, thank you

2017
00:32:36,258 --> 00:32:36,559
, Cindy. Thank

2018
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:38,559
you

2019
00:32:45,468 --> 00:32:46,100
. Alison

2020
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:46,535
Bush is next, or

2021
00:32:46,535 --> 00:32:47,369
Allan Bush, I'm

2022
00:32:47,369 --> 00:32:47,669
sorry, Alan

2023
00:32:47,669 --> 00:32:49,638
Bush

2024
00:32:49,638 --> 00:32:49,939
. Yeah

2025
00:32:49,939 --> 00:32:51,939
, sorry

2026
00:32:52,575 --> 00:32:53,800

, 50-10 totem trail

2029
00:32:56,846 --> 00:32:57,613
Guaymas Island. I'm gonna take

2030
00:32:57,613 --> 00:32:59,915
a little different tack here

2031
00:32:59,915 --> 00:33:00,316
.

2032
00:33:00,316 --> 00:33:01,500
When when

2033
00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:01,784
we graduated from

2034
00:33:01,784 --> 00:33:03,453
medical school, we take a

2035
00:33:03,453 --> 00:33:03,985
sacred oath called the

2036
00:33:03,985 --> 00:33:05,888
Hippocratic Oath

2037
00:33:05,888 --> 00:33:06,388
. Which dates

2038
00:33:06,388 --> 00:33:07,924
back to several

2039
00:33:07,924 --> 00:33:08,591
100 years

2040
00:33:08,591 --> 00:33:10,560
before Christ

2041
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,600
and

2042
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,428
still

2043
00:33:12,428 --> 00:33:13,620
applicable today about taking

2044
00:33:13,620 --> 00:33:14,630
care of patients, not

2045
00:33:14,630 --> 00:33:15,398
poisoning

2046
00:33:15,398 --> 00:33:16,532
them, respecting our teachers

2047
00:33:16,532 --> 00:33:16,933
,

2048
00:33:16,933 --> 00:33:17,700
and not

2049
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:19,102
sharing their grief

2050
00:33:19,102 --> 00:33:19,802
,

2051
00:33:19,802 --> 00:33:21,690
their disease process with

2052
00:33:21,690 --> 00:33:21,233
a

2053
00:33:21,233 --> 00:33:21,838
,

2054
00:33:21,838 --> 00:33:22,205
with other people. So that was

2055
00:33:22,205 --> 00:33:23,573
several

2056
00:33:23,573 --> 00:33:23,973
100 years

2057
00:33:23,973 --> 00:33:24,240
before

2058
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:24,396
hipaa

2059
00:33:24,396 --> 00:33:24,674
.

2060
00:33:24,674 --> 00:33:26,800
Why am

2061
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:26,209
I saying this

2062
00:33:26,209 --> 00:33:26,676
? Because

2063
00:33:26,676 --> 00:33:28,578
when you take

2064
00:33:28,578 --> 00:33:28,739
. The oath for

2065
00:33:28,739 --> 00:33:28,978
the

2066
00:33:28,978 --> 00:33:30,146
job

2067
00:33:30,146 --> 00:33:30,713
you

2068
00:33:30,713 --> 00:33:32,248
have sitting up there

2069
00:33:32,248 --> 00:33:33,160
.

2070
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,283
You swear, to abide by

2071
00:33:33,283 --> 00:33:33,783
the

2072
00:33:33,783 --> 00:33:34,717
Constitution of

2073
00:33:34,717 --> 00:33:35,510
the United

2074
00:33:35,510 --> 00:33:35,485
States

2075
00:33:35,485 --> 00:33:37,420
. And

2076
00:33:37,420 --> 00:33:37,687
what

2077
00:33:37,687 --> 00:33:37,954
that

2078
00:33:37,954 --> 00:33:38,121
says

2079
00:33:38,121 --> 00:33:38,521
is

2080
00:33:38,521 --> 00:33:39,489
government by

2081
00:33:39,489 --> 00:33:40,189
the people for

2082
00:33:40,189 --> 00:33:41,291
the people

2083
00:33:41,291 --> 00:33:41,790
, and

2084
00:33:41,790 --> 00:33:42,192
we

2085
00:33:42,192 --> 00:33:43,993
listen to

2086
00:33:43,993 --> 00:33:45,962
these people today

2087
00:33:45,962 --> 00:33:46,262
. It

2088
00:33:46,262 --> 00:33:46,896
sounds

2089
00:33:46,896 --> 00:33:48,464
really

2090
00:33:48,464 --> 00:33:48,865
nice that things are not

2091
00:33:48,865 --> 00:33:50,600
being

2092
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,334
followed appropriately. I

2093
00:33:51,334 --> 00:33:52,668
mean, millions of

2094
00:33:52,668 --> 00:33:53,268
dollars

2095
00:33:53,268 --> 00:33:54,738
wasted on a, on

2096
00:33:54,738 --> 00:33:55,438
a

2097
00:33:55,438 --> 00:33:55,805
completely

2098
00:33:55,805 --> 00:33:57,473
idiotic

2099
00:33:57,473 --> 00:33:58,274
electric ferry which if

2100
00:33:58,274 --> 00:33:59,743
you charged it and of course

2101
00:33:59,743 --> 00:34:00,177
would have

2102
00:34:00,177 --> 00:34:00,443
no power if you just

2103
00:34:00,443 --> 00:34:01,912
do

2104
00:34:01,912 --> 00:34:02,378
the

2105
00:34:02,378 --> 00:34:02,679
calculations there and a

2106
00:34:02,679 --> 00:34:04,447
host

2107
00:34:04,447 --> 00:34:04,781
of other things that we

2108
00:34:04,781 --> 00:34:06,516
have

2109
00:34:06,516 --> 00:34:06,683
wasted hundreds

2110
00:34:06,683 --> 00:34:07,284
and

2111
00:34:07,284 --> 00:34:08,585
thousands and perhaps

2112
00:34:08,585 --> 00:34:08,985
millions

2113
00:34:08,985 --> 00:34:09,452
of dollars

2114
00:34:09,452 --> 00:34:10,986
on things

2115
00:34:10,986 --> 00:34:11,421
. And I'm

2116
00:34:11,421 --> 00:34:11,721
just saying

2117
00:34:11,721 --> 00:34:13,290
, please

2118
00:34:13,290 --> 00:34:13,824

Thank you

2123
00:34:17,894 --> 00:34:19,894

2125
00:34:22,466 --> 00:34:22,799
Allan Bush and then we'll go

2126
00:34:22,799 --> 00:34:24,799
online

Shore Drive

2130
00:34:31,241 --> 00:34:31,908
. Um

2131
00:34:31,908 --> 00:34:33,210
, I'm

2132
00:34:33,210 --> 00:34:33,477
a

2133
00:34:33,477 --> 00:34:34,100
3rd

member

2138
00:34:39,216 --> 00:34:39,383
. And I'm a

2139
00:34:39,383 --> 00:34:39,749
little

2140
00:34:39,749 --> 00:34:41,749
troubled

2141
00:34:42,252 --> 00:34:42,886
. With how things are

2142
00:34:42,886 --> 00:34:43,119
going, you shouldn't

2143
00:34:43,119 --> 00:34:44,455
be

2144
00:34:44,455 --> 00:34:45,156
in

2145
00:34:45,156 --> 00:34:46,623
court. We should be

2146
00:34:46,623 --> 00:34:47,358
talking

2147
00:34:47,358 --> 00:34:47,517
amongst ourselves, and I

2148
00:34:47,517 --> 00:34:47,891
, I

2149
00:34:47,891 --> 00:34:48,959
believe we

2150
00:34:48,959 --> 00:34:49,259
can

2151
00:34:49,259 --> 00:34:49,727
lead ourselves

2152
00:34:49,727 --> 00:34:49,960
out of this

2153
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,960
. Um

2154
00:34:53,664 --> 00:34:54,331
, If numbers are

2155
00:34:54,331 --> 00:34:56,667
going to be projected

2156
00:34:56,667 --> 00:34:58,667
. And um

2157
00:34:58,903 --> 00:35:00,237
And

2158
00:35:00,237 --> 00:35:00,971
those

2159
00:35:00,971 --> 00:35:02,406
projected numbers

2160
00:35:02,406 --> 00:35:02,840
average

2161
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:03,407
about

2162
00:35:03,407 --> 00:35:04,675
$850,000 a

2163
00:35:04,675 --> 00:35:05,676
year

2164
00:35:05,676 --> 00:35:07,178
off of what actual expenditures

2165
00:35:07,178 --> 00:35:07,812
are, I think

2166
00:35:07,812 --> 00:35:08,212
that's probably

2167
00:35:08,212 --> 00:35:09,180
troubling

2168
00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:11,180
to me

2169
00:35:11,515 --> 00:35:12,383
. And um

2170
00:35:12,383 --> 00:35:13,451
I've

2171
00:35:13,451 --> 00:35:14,318
,

2172
00:35:14,318 --> 00:35:14,852
i've been here before. I've

2173
00:35:14,852 --> 00:35:16,520
asked you

2174
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:16,821
, um, a

2175
00:35:16,821 --> 00:35:18,550
series

2176
00:35:18,550 --> 00:35:19,156
of

2177
00:35:19,156 --> 00:35:21,459
questions and this legal matter

2178
00:35:21,459 --> 00:35:21,759
is getting in the way

2179
00:35:21,759 --> 00:35:21,993
. I

2180
00:35:21,993 --> 00:35:22,993
was

2181
00:35:22,993 --> 00:35:23,327
told that you

2182
00:35:23,327 --> 00:35:23,827
couldn't answer

2183
00:35:23,827 --> 00:35:24,896
them because of

2184
00:35:24,896 --> 00:35:25,229
that legal

2185
00:35:25,229 --> 00:35:25,730
matter

2186
00:35:25,730 --> 00:35:27,730
. And um

2187
00:35:28,132 --> 00:35:29,866
In hindsight

2188
00:35:29,866 --> 00:35:30,535
, I

2189
00:35:30,535 --> 00:35:31,836
guess, um, I, I

2190
00:35:31,836 --> 00:35:32,203
asked one

2191
00:35:32,203 --> 00:35:32,737
question

2192
00:35:32,737 --> 00:35:34,205
. What

2193
00:35:34,205 --> 00:35:35,105
capital

2194
00:35:35,105 --> 00:35:37,410
expenditures were, were

2195
00:35:37,410 --> 00:35:37,842
made

2196
00:35:37,842 --> 00:35:38,843
in

2197
00:35:38,843 --> 00:35:39,209
2024, and the

2198
00:35:39,209 --> 00:35:40,711
answer was

2199
00:35:40,711 --> 00:35:41,179
, uh,

2200
00:35:41,179 --> 00:35:41,612
we can or you

2201
00:35:41,612 --> 00:35:43,140
, the

2202
00:35:43,140 --> 00:35:43,681
county

2203
00:35:43,681 --> 00:35:45,517
calculated them properly

2204
00:35:45,517 --> 00:35:46,217
.

2205
00:35:46,217 --> 00:35:47,385
Considering the, the rule

2206
00:35:47,385 --> 00:35:47,986
, the

2207
00:35:47,986 --> 00:35:49,986
accounting rules

2208
00:35:49,987 --> 00:35:50,587
. And um

2209
00:35:50,587 --> 00:35:52,156
, Come

2210
00:35:52,156 --> 00:35:53,240
to find out

2211
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:54,792
. A year later

2212
00:35:54,792 --> 00:35:55,159
, Um,

2213
00:35:55,159 --> 00:35:56,528
there's

2214
00:35:56,528 --> 00:35:56,827
been

2215
00:35:56,827 --> 00:35:57,495
some

2216
00:35:57,495 --> 00:35:58,563
findings

2217
00:35:58,563 --> 00:35:59,130
that

2218
00:35:59,130 --> 00:35:59,664
there's been some

2219
00:35:59,664 --> 00:36:01,432
engineering

2220
00:36:01,432 --> 00:36:01,666
questions of whether or

2221
00:36:01,666 --> 00:36:02,330
not

2222
00:36:02,330 --> 00:36:03,701
that

2223
00:36:03,701 --> 00:36:04,201
engine replacement and the

2224
00:36:04,201 --> 00:36:05,703
engineering

2225
00:36:05,703 --> 00:36:06,370
surrounding it was

2226
00:36:06,370 --> 00:36:08,370
a

2227
00:36:08,373 --> 00:36:10,410
capital expense, and it was

2228
00:36:10,410 --> 00:36:10,375
.

2229
00:36:10,375 --> 00:36:12,375
And um

2230
00:36:12,410 --> 00:36:12,677
I

2231
00:36:12,677 --> 00:36:12,978
just

2232
00:36:12,978 --> 00:36:13,245
isolate

2233
00:36:13,245 --> 00:36:14,479
that

2234
00:36:14,479 --> 00:36:15,413
one

2235
00:36:15,413 --> 00:36:17,115
crucible engineering in

2236
00:36:17,115 --> 00:36:17,548
JULY

2237
00:36:17,548 --> 00:36:19,451
of

2238
00:36:19,451 --> 00:36:19,918
2024 was

2239
00:36:19,918 --> 00:36:21,253
assigned or

2240
00:36:21,253 --> 00:36:21,486
given

2241
00:36:21,486 --> 00:36:22,454
the

2242
00:36:22,454 --> 00:36:23,655
opportunity

2243
00:36:23,655 --> 00:36:24,189
to engineer an

2244
00:36:24,189 --> 00:36:26,189
engine replacement

2245
00:36:26,258 --> 00:36:28,258
. And um

2246
00:36:30,695 --> 00:36:31,263
That

2247
00:36:31,263 --> 00:36:32,631
contract

2248
00:36:32,631 --> 00:36:32,898
totaled in

2249
00:36:32,898 --> 00:36:33,230
2024

2250
00:36:33,230 --> 00:36:33,565
,

2251
00:36:33,565 --> 00:36:35,565
around

2252
00:36:35,801 --> 00:36:37,102
$79,000 and

2253
00:36:37,102 --> 00:36:37,502
yet we

2254
00:36:37,502 --> 00:36:38,103
were

2255
00:36:38,103 --> 00:36:39,171
invoiced on our side

2256
00:36:39,171 --> 00:36:39,771
of the

2257
00:36:39,771 --> 00:36:41,906
ledger, you know and

2258
00:36:41,906 --> 00:36:42,274
. That

2259
00:36:42,274 --> 00:36:44,420
expense

2260
00:36:44,420 --> 00:36:44,909
. And so

2261
00:36:44,909 --> 00:36:46,645
, uh, when asked

2262
00:36:46,645 --> 00:36:48,347
to recalculate

2263
00:36:48,347 --> 00:36:48,647
. I would hope

2264
00:36:48,647 --> 00:36:48,981
that

2265
00:36:48,981 --> 00:36:49,314
you

2266
00:36:49,314 --> 00:36:50,649
would

2267
00:36:50,649 --> 00:36:50,817
look at

2268
00:36:50,817 --> 00:36:51,450
the

2269
00:36:51,450 --> 00:36:53,450
whole picture, not

2270
00:36:53,452 --> 00:36:53,952
just 2025 or

2271
00:36:53,952 --> 00:36:55,870
what you thought

2272
00:36:55,870 --> 00:36:55,721
you were going

2273
00:36:55,721 --> 00:36:57,188
to spend in that year

2274
00:36:57,188 --> 00:36:58,357
. But

2275
00:36:58,357 --> 00:37:00,292
Based on your formula

2276
00:37:00,292 --> 00:37:00,559
. You are

2277
00:37:00,559 --> 00:37:02,559
um

2278
00:37:02,761 --> 00:37:03,963
. Looking at

2279
00:37:03,963 --> 00:37:04,563
5 years, so

2280
00:37:04,563 --> 00:37:04,764
you're looking at the

2281
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:06,365
2

2282
00:37:06,365 --> 00:37:06,732
years

2283
00:37:06,732 --> 00:37:07,366
before

2284
00:37:07,366 --> 00:37:08,834
actual

2285
00:37:08,834 --> 00:37:09,501
expenses, and

2286
00:37:09,501 --> 00:37:10,736
then projections, and

2287
00:37:10,736 --> 00:37:11,670
I think

2288
00:37:11,670 --> 00:37:13,205
that's where I guess the

2289
00:37:13,205 --> 00:37:13,772
arbitrary

2290
00:37:13,772 --> 00:37:15,574
and

2291
00:37:15,574 --> 00:37:16,175
capriciousness

2292
00:37:16,175 --> 00:37:17,810
starts entering into

2293
00:37:17,810 --> 00:37:18,377
the

2294
00:37:18,377 --> 00:37:18,677
equation and

2295
00:37:18,677 --> 00:37:19,911
um to

2296
00:37:19,911 --> 00:37:20,446
be

2297
00:37:20,446 --> 00:37:20,746
$850,000

2298
00:37:20,746 --> 00:37:22,381
off

2299
00:37:22,381 --> 00:37:22,581
. On

2300
00:37:22,581 --> 00:37:23,490
a

2301
00:37:23,490 --> 00:37:24,500
projection and

2302
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:24,817
then

2303
00:37:24,817 --> 00:37:25,217
not be able to account for it

2304
00:37:25,217 --> 00:37:26,886
later on

2305
00:37:26,886 --> 00:37:28,788
. Um

2306
00:37:28,788 --> 00:37:29,655
, There's lots of

2307
00:37:29,655 --> 00:37:30,856
labor, lots of time spent

2308
00:37:30,856 --> 00:37:31,190
on

2309
00:37:31,190 --> 00:37:31,456
county

2310
00:37:31,456 --> 00:37:31,790
on

2311
00:37:31,790 --> 00:37:33,492
county

2312
00:37:33,492 --> 00:37:34,260
staff's time

2313
00:37:34,260 --> 00:37:34,360
that, uh, probably

2314
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,494
should

2315
00:37:35,494 --> 00:37:35,928
be

2316
00:37:35,928 --> 00:37:37,928
capitalized

2317
00:37:38,731 --> 00:37:39,231
. We've spent 10

2318
00:37:39,231 --> 00:37:40,633
years on a

2319
00:37:40,633 --> 00:37:41,100
capital project a

2320
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:42,635
ferry

2321
00:37:42,635 --> 00:37:42,935
replacement project, and

2322
00:37:42,935 --> 00:37:43,269
none

2323
00:37:43,269 --> 00:37:44,770
of that

2324
00:37:44,770 --> 00:37:45,638
staff time has

2325
00:37:45,638 --> 00:37:46,705
been capitalized, or at

2326
00:37:46,705 --> 00:37:47,306
least

2327
00:37:47,306 --> 00:37:48,975
we have not seen it

2328
00:37:48,975 --> 00:37:49,542
. Um

2329
00:37:49,542 --> 00:37:49,776
, labor

2330
00:37:49,776 --> 00:37:50,176
,

2331
00:37:50,176 --> 00:37:51,244
uh, during

2332
00:37:51,244 --> 00:37:51,510
the

2333
00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:51,744

2339
00:37:55,915 --> 00:37:56,315
that was

2340
00:37:56,315 --> 00:37:58,170
capitalized

2341
00:37:58,170 --> 00:37:58,351
, even

2342
00:37:58,351 --> 00:37:58,918

little

2420
00:40:08,616 --> 00:40:09,170
over

2421
00:40:09,170 --> 00:40:11,170

,

2424
00:40:14,289 --> 00:40:17,289
Because it's a beautiful county

2425
00:40:18,293 --> 00:40:18,526
And because the ferry

2426
00:40:18,526 --> 00:40:20,261
ran

2427
00:40:20,261 --> 00:40:20,728
pretty darn regularly

2428
00:40:20,728 --> 00:40:22,300

00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:22,797
we

2430
00:40:22,797 --> 00:40:23,165
were counting on that kind of

2431
00:40:23,165 --> 00:40:25,330
service

2432
00:40:25,330 --> 00:40:25,433
. It's

2433
00:40:25,433 --> 00:40:27,168
a short ride

2434
00:40:27,168 --> 00:40:27,835
.

2435
00:40:27,835 --> 00:40:28,937
Could have bodied orcas

2436
00:40:28,937 --> 00:40:29,404
, but

2437
00:40:29,404 --> 00:40:29,838
then we'd be

2438
00:40:29,838 --> 00:40:31,106
sitting forever

2439
00:40:31,106 --> 00:40:31,806
in

2440
00:40:31,806 --> 00:40:32,107
fairy lines, you know what I

2441
00:40:32,107 --> 00:40:34,107
mean

2442
00:40:34,175 --> 00:40:34,509
. I know

2443
00:40:34,509 --> 00:40:36,110
your job

2444
00:40:36,110 --> 00:40:36,544
is not

2445
00:40:36,544 --> 00:40:38,146
easy to do

2446
00:40:38,146 --> 00:40:38,413
. And that

2447
00:40:38,413 --> 00:40:39,470
you have

2448
00:40:39,470 --> 00:40:41,150
to rely on your staff

2449
00:40:41,150 --> 00:40:42,984
. To

2450
00:40:42,984 --> 00:40:44,886
provide you information

2451
00:40:44,886 --> 00:40:45,860
. But

2452
00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:45,587
I

2453
00:40:45,587 --> 00:40:47,289
have sat and

2454
00:40:47,289 --> 00:40:48,230
watched these

2455
00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:49,825
people that have been here

2456
00:40:49,825 --> 00:40:51,793
longer than we have

2457
00:40:51,793 --> 00:40:52,494
. They have

2458
00:40:52,494 --> 00:40:54,296
good hearts

2459
00:40:54,296 --> 00:40:54,466
as well and

2460
00:40:54,466 --> 00:40:54,963
are

2461
00:40:54,963 --> 00:40:56,631
willing to help

2462
00:40:56,631 --> 00:40:56,932
. One thing I

2463
00:40:56,932 --> 00:40:58,200
have

2464
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:58,967
to

2465
00:40:58,967 --> 00:41:00,435
tell you, would have

2466
00:41:00,435 --> 00:41:00,969
been

2467
00:41:00,969 --> 00:41:03,106
easy to figure out

2468
00:41:03,106 --> 00:41:03,639
. And

2469
00:41:03,639 --> 00:41:05,374
restore some

2470
00:41:05,374 --> 00:41:05,841
trust between

2471
00:41:05,841 --> 00:41:07,576
public works

2472
00:41:07,576 --> 00:41:08,677
ferry department

2473
00:41:08,677 --> 00:41:09,578
and commissioners

2474
00:41:09,578 --> 00:41:09,911
and

2475
00:41:09,911 --> 00:41:10,312
the

2476
00:41:10,312 --> 00:41:12,312
islanders

2477
00:41:12,314 --> 00:41:12,478
. Take care of

2478
00:41:12,478 --> 00:41:12,748
the

2479
00:41:12,748 --> 00:41:13,915
problem

2480
00:41:13,915 --> 00:41:14,115
that

2481
00:41:14,115 --> 00:41:14,650
the

2482
00:41:14,650 --> 00:41:16,318
judge

2483
00:41:16,318 --> 00:41:16,718
said

2484
00:41:16,718 --> 00:41:18,553
concerning

2485
00:41:18,553 --> 00:41:18,854
the

2486
00:41:18,854 --> 00:41:19,354
non-expiration

2487
00:41:19,354 --> 00:41:21,560
very punch cards

2488
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:21,290
. Does

2489
00:41:21,290 --> 00:41:21,724
it

2490
00:41:21,724 --> 00:41:23,724
make

2491
00:41:24,260 --> 00:41:24,493
sense that the

2492
00:41:24,493 --> 00:41:25,160
islanders helped

2493
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:25,928
the

2494
00:41:25,928 --> 00:41:27,596
county out at

2495
00:41:27,596 --> 00:41:27,963
a time at,

2496
00:41:27,963 --> 00:41:29,765
you know

2497
00:41:29,765 --> 00:41:30,532
, post covid

2498
00:41:30,532 --> 00:41:32,334
. By

2499
00:41:32,334 --> 00:41:32,668
buying

2500
00:41:32,668 --> 00:41:34,303
those

2501
00:41:34,303 --> 00:41:34,836
specialty tickets when

2502
00:41:34,836 --> 00:41:35,271
before that there were

2503
00:41:35,271 --> 00:41:37,390
expirations

2504
00:41:37,390 --> 00:41:37,506
, and after that

2505
00:41:37,506 --> 00:41:39,506
there were

2506
00:41:39,708 --> 00:41:40,309
. Does it make sense

2507
00:41:40,309 --> 00:41:42,709
to turn them in

2508
00:41:43,112 --> 00:41:43,345
? Now

2509
00:41:43,345 --> 00:41:43,779
at a

2510
00:41:43,779 --> 00:41:45,779
higher rate

2511
00:41:46,248 --> 00:41:46,482
. One

2512
00:41:46,482 --> 00:41:47,516
for

2513
00:41:47,516 --> 00:41:47,850
one

2514
00:41:47,850 --> 00:41:48,250
doesn't

2515
00:41:48,250 --> 00:41:48,750
make sense

2516
00:41:48,750 --> 00:41:50,152
, but the

2517
00:41:50,152 --> 00:41:50,586
,

2518
00:41:50,586 --> 00:41:50,819
but just

2519
00:41:50,819 --> 00:41:52,200
that

2520
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:52,321
one

2521
00:41:52,321 --> 00:41:52,621
thing plus

2522
00:41:52,621 --> 00:41:54,423
the

2523
00:41:54,423 --> 00:41:55,124
ferry

2524
00:41:55,124 --> 00:41:55,424
committee would would

2525
00:41:55,424 --> 00:41:56,959
help

2526
00:41:56,959 --> 00:41:57,226
both

2527
00:41:57,226 --> 00:41:57,560
sides

2528
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:57,893
, you would

2529
00:41:57,893 --> 00:41:59,262
begin

2530
00:41:59,262 --> 00:41:59,594
to

2531
00:41:59,594 --> 00:41:59,929
see

2532
00:41:59,929 --> 00:42:01,364

to say to you in a short period

2538
00:42:06,202 --> 00:42:06,502
of time. They are

2539
00:42:06,502 --> 00:42:07,836
bending

2540
00:42:07,836 --> 00:42:08,404

Thank you

2555
00:42:21,884 --> 00:42:22,452

00:42:23,753 --> 00:42:23,913
punch

2558
00:42:23,913 --> 00:42:24,487
card

2559
00:42:24,487 --> 00:42:24,821
turning in, it's a

2560
00:42:24,821 --> 00:42:26,789
ride for

2561
00:42:26,789 --> 00:42:28,658
rides, so if it was good for

2562
00:42:28,658 --> 00:42:29,225
a

2563
00:42:29,225 --> 00:42:29,826
driver and car

2564
00:42:29,826 --> 00:42:30,627

00:42:30,627 --> 00:42:31,427
system

2566
00:42:31,427 --> 00:42:32,629
would be driver

2567
00:42:32,629 --> 00:42:33,630
and car.

2568
00:42:33,630 --> 00:42:33,496
There's no

2569
00:42:33,496 --> 00:42:33,796
dollar change. It's

2570
00:42:33,796 --> 00:42:35,532
the

2571
00:42:35,532 --> 00:42:35,832
same thing. It's just, it's

2572
00:42:35,832 --> 00:42:37,634
on

2573
00:42:37,634 --> 00:42:37,867
the e-ticketing instead of

a

2575
00:42:38,268 --> 00:42:39,469
paper. So

2576
00:42:39,469 --> 00:42:39,736
it's the

2577
00:42:39,736 --> 00:42:40,170
same value.

2578
00:42:40,170 --> 00:42:40,436
There's no

2579
00:42:40,436 --> 00:42:42,436
. Ok

2580
00:42:44,107 --> 00:42:46,107

2633
00:43:54,111 --> 00:43:54,512
the

question

2635
00:43:56,113 --> 00:43:56,513
was posed about

2636
00:43:56,513 --> 00:43:56,747
this, this

2637
00:43:56,747 --> 00:43:56,981
and

2638
00:43:56,981 --> 00:43:58,582
the

2639
00:43:58,582 --> 00:43:59,283
next actual

2643
00:44:03,554 --> 00:44:03,788
. This is

2644
00:44:03,788 --> 00:44:05,556
the

2645
00:44:05,556 --> 00:44:05,715

2646
00:44:05,715 --> 00:44:05,990
pages

2647
00:44:05,990 --> 00:44:07,224
are

2648
00:44:07,224 --> 00:44:07,725
the

2649
00:44:07,725 --> 00:44:08,192
detail

2650
00:44:08,192 --> 00:44:09,660
line from

2651
00:44:09,660 --> 00:44:10,294
the

Contract. Once they were

2655
00:44:14,465 --> 00:44:14,832
, once

2656
00:44:14,832 --> 00:44:16,832
the uh

2657
00:44:16,868 --> 00:44:17,101

and accounting

2660
00:44:18,736 --> 00:44:19,370
division went

2661
00:44:19,370 --> 00:44:20,571
through the individual

2662
00:44:20,571 --> 00:44:21,172
line

2663
00:44:21,172 --> 00:44:21,472
items and you can

2664
00:44:21,472 --> 00:44:21,739
see

2665
00:44:21,739 --> 00:44:23,441
the

2666
00:44:23,441 --> 00:44:23,908
yellow items which were

2667
00:44:23,908 --> 00:44:25,777
presumed to

2668
00:44:25,777 --> 00:44:27,945
be part of the full

2669
00:44:27,945 --> 00:44:28,479
Nielsen Brother boat builder

2670
00:44:28,479 --> 00:44:30,148
contract and part

2671
00:44:30,148 --> 00:44:30,882
of capital.

2672
00:44:30,882 --> 00:44:32,830
They were not attributed

2673
00:44:32,830 --> 00:44:32,784
to

2674
00:44:32,784 --> 00:44:33,510
Capo. The process was

2675
00:44:33,510 --> 00:44:33,385
followed

2676
00:44:33,385 --> 00:44:34,686
which

2677
00:44:34,686 --> 00:44:34,850
we explained as you

2678
00:44:34,850 --> 00:44:35,186
pull

2679
00:44:35,186 --> 00:44:36,821
out the

2680
00:44:36,821 --> 00:44:36,983
items once you get

2681
00:44:36,983 --> 00:44:37,755
the

2682
00:44:37,755 --> 00:44:39,424
final contract, you don't know

2683
00:44:39,424 --> 00:44:39,891
what's going to be capital or

2684
00:44:39,891 --> 00:44:41,358
not until you

2685
00:44:41,358 --> 00:44:41,659
get all the

2686
00:44:41,659 --> 00:44:42,260
line

2687
00:44:42,260 --> 00:44:43,461
items because there

2688
00:44:43,461 --> 00:44:44,620
are change

2689
00:44:44,620 --> 00:44:44,462
orders and things like that

2690
00:44:44,462 --> 00:44:45,864
that occur

2691
00:44:45,864 --> 00:44:46,264
, so what happened is

2692
00:44:46,264 --> 00:44:48,198
This is

2693
00:44:48,198 --> 00:44:48,800
a spreadsheet that was

2694
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,702
provided in the in

2695
00:44:50,702 --> 00:44:51,200
the appeal

2696
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,200
before

2697
00:44:53,710 --> 00:44:54,806
. After

2698
00:44:54,806 --> 00:44:55,273
the

2699
00:44:55,273 --> 00:44:55,940
decision

2700
00:44:55,940 --> 00:44:56,908
explaining what we're going

2701
00:44:56,908 --> 00:44:57,608
to

2702
00:44:57,608 --> 00:44:59,310
be presenting today

2703
00:44:59,310 --> 00:45:00,120
. About this

2704
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,278
case and so what we have

2705
00:45:01,278 --> 00:45:01,880
are

2706
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:02,280
the individual light items

2707
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,748
which were

2708
00:45:03,748 --> 00:45:04,315
pulled out and

2709
00:45:04,315 --> 00:45:04,649
put

2710
00:45:04,649 --> 00:45:06,284
in to

2711
00:45:06,284 --> 00:45:06,651
the

2712
00:45:06,651 --> 00:45:08,487
actual

2713
00:45:08,487 --> 00:45:08,986
um capital

2714
00:45:08,986 --> 00:45:10,188
portion of the

2715
00:45:10,188 --> 00:45:10,855
Nielsen

2716
00:45:10,855 --> 00:45:11,456
brothers' contract contract So

2717
00:45:11,456 --> 00:45:11,823
that's the explanation. These

2718
00:45:11,823 --> 00:45:12,657
numbers

2719
00:45:12,657 --> 00:45:13,125
were

2720
00:45:13,125 --> 00:45:13,348
not available

2721
00:45:13,348 --> 00:45:13,592
in

2722
00:45:13,592 --> 00:45:15,527
2024

2723
00:45:15,527 --> 00:45:17,950
. In 2024, we

2724
00:45:17,950 --> 00:45:17,395
were

2725
00:45:17,395 --> 00:45:17,929
losing

2726
00:45:17,929 --> 00:45:19,929
the

2727
00:45:20,232 --> 00:45:20,832
projected 2025 numbers, so

2728
00:45:20,832 --> 00:45:21,933
I don't know how

2729
00:45:21,933 --> 00:45:22,467
do you make

2730
00:45:22,467 --> 00:45:23,936
that clear and

2731
00:45:23,936 --> 00:45:24,603
so what we're

2732
00:45:24,603 --> 00:45:25,137
having, we're in the situation

2733
00:45:25,137 --> 00:45:26,605
we're having to

2734
00:45:26,605 --> 00:45:27,205
address now is

2735
00:45:27,205 --> 00:45:28,774
a situation where

2736
00:45:28,774 --> 00:45:28,931
How do

2737
00:45:28,931 --> 00:45:29,241
you

2738
00:45:29,241 --> 00:45:31,760
calculate

2739
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,760
a past projection

2740
00:45:33,146 --> 00:45:33,745
.

2741
00:45:33,745 --> 00:45:34,946
Instead we're using the

2742
00:45:34,946 --> 00:45:35,280
actual

2743
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:35,881
numbers

2744
00:45:35,881 --> 00:45:37,449
from 2025

2745
00:45:37,449 --> 00:45:38,283
, how they

2746
00:45:38,283 --> 00:45:39,351
were actually assigned to this

2747
00:45:39,351 --> 00:45:40,180
,

2748
00:45:40,180 --> 00:45:40,552
and I understand there are

2749
00:45:40,552 --> 00:45:41,953
other line items

2750
00:45:41,953 --> 00:45:42,287
which

2751
00:45:42,287 --> 00:45:42,955
were

2752
00:45:42,955 --> 00:45:44,123
discussed or brought

2753
00:45:44,123 --> 00:45:44,623
forward

2754
00:45:44,623 --> 00:45:45,157
both today in a written

2755
00:45:45,157 --> 00:45:46,492
document that was

2756
00:45:46,492 --> 00:45:47,192
provided by

2757
00:45:47,192 --> 00:45:47,626
Fair Affairs entering the

2758
00:45:47,626 --> 00:45:48,961
portion of

2759
00:45:48,961 --> 00:45:49,528
the sharing, and I

2760
00:45:49,528 --> 00:45:51,195
think we have the

2761
00:45:51,195 --> 00:45:51,359
ability to

2762
00:45:51,359 --> 00:45:51,730
,

2763
00:45:51,730 --> 00:45:53,332
to have a

2764
00:45:53,332 --> 00:45:54,660
conversation to

2765
00:45:54,660 --> 00:45:55,634
provide information to these

2766
00:45:55,634 --> 00:45:56,100
people about

2767
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:56,368
that

2768
00:45:56,368 --> 00:45:56,802
that

2769
00:45:56,802 --> 00:45:58,304
information

2770
00:45:58,304 --> 00:45:58,704
. And so that's what

2771
00:45:58,704 --> 00:46:00,390
we, I, i

2772
00:46:00,390 --> 00:46:00,473
just want to try

2773
00:46:00,473 --> 00:46:02,473
this

2774
00:46:02,508 --> 00:46:02,908
explanation and let you know

2775
00:46:02,908 --> 00:46:04,310
that that

2776
00:46:04,310 --> 00:46:04,744
. Um

2777
00:46:04,744 --> 00:46:05,311
, that that's

2778
00:46:05,311 --> 00:46:06,712
where we're at, and

2779
00:46:06,712 --> 00:46:07,313
that's the

2780
00:46:07,313 --> 00:46:07,813
information about this these

2781
00:46:07,813 --> 00:46:08,881
particular items

2782
00:46:08,881 --> 00:46:09,682
. So

2783
00:46:09,682 --> 00:46:09,982
, Thank you

2784
00:46:09,982 --> 00:46:11,584
for

2785
00:46:11,584 --> 00:46:11,817
the explanation. I

2786
00:46:11,817 --> 00:46:12,485
asked

2787
00:46:12,485 --> 00:46:13,119
specifically because when

2788
00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:13,686
I

2789
00:46:13,686 --> 00:46:14,453
looked at that, the quick

2790
00:46:14,453 --> 00:46:15,855
glance I got at it, uh, while

2791
00:46:15,855 --> 00:46:16,389
it was up

2792
00:46:16,389 --> 00:46:16,856
, it looked like what

2793
00:46:16,856 --> 00:46:18,570
we would have

2794
00:46:18,570 --> 00:46:18,424
had after the

2795
00:46:18,424 --> 00:46:18,691
fact, so

2796
00:46:18,691 --> 00:46:20,691
. Mhm

2797
00:46:20,693 --> 00:46:20,926
. It

2798
00:46:20,926 --> 00:46:21,327
, it looked

2799
00:46:21,327 --> 00:46:22,662
like what

2800
00:46:22,662 --> 00:46:23,329
we would have after

2801
00:46:23,329 --> 00:46:23,729
the fact, and I was trying to

2802
00:46:23,729 --> 00:46:24,697
decide if

2803
00:46:24,697 --> 00:46:24,931
this

2804
00:46:24,931 --> 00:46:25,197
was

2805
00:46:25,197 --> 00:46:25,798
something

2806
00:46:25,798 --> 00:46:27,660
that was after or if

2807
00:46:27,660 --> 00:46:27,231
this

2808
00:46:27,231 --> 00:46:27,967
was

2809
00:46:27,967 --> 00:46:29,368
actually a quote from them that

2810
00:46:29,368 --> 00:46:29,669
was used for

2811
00:46:29,669 --> 00:46:29,969
the

2812
00:46:29,969 --> 00:46:31,204
2025

2813
00:46:31,204 --> 00:46:31,871
fair

2814
00:46:31,871 --> 00:46:32,571
setting. So that's why I was

2815
00:46:32,571 --> 00:46:33,940
asking the question to help

2816
00:46:33,940 --> 00:46:34,540
with my

2817
00:46:34,540 --> 00:46:36,800
clarity on what

2818
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:36,676
was

2819
00:46:36,676 --> 00:46:36,909
physically available

2820
00:46:36,909 --> 00:46:38,440
in

2821
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:38,745
2025

2822
00:46:38,745 --> 00:46:39,278
when they were making these

2823
00:46:39,278 --> 00:46:40,813
choices

2824
00:46:40,813 --> 00:46:41,279
As a 2024 I

2825
00:46:41,279 --> 00:46:42,415
should

2826
00:46:42,415 --> 00:46:43,490
say.

2827
00:46:43,490 --> 00:46:43,650
I'm going to see if I can get

2828
00:46:43,650 --> 00:46:44,817
the right direction on

2829
00:46:44,817 --> 00:46:45,285
this

2830
00:46:45,285 --> 00:46:47,120
scrolling here

2831
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:47,320
. That's

2832
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:47,854
what

2833
00:46:47,854 --> 00:46:48,870
this explanation

2834
00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:49,989
was

2835
00:46:49,989 --> 00:46:50,190
was

2836
00:46:50,190 --> 00:46:50,523
about.

2837
00:46:50,523 --> 00:46:50,924
The the

2838
00:46:50,924 --> 00:46:51,757
JANUARY

2839
00:46:51,757 --> 00:46:52,258
2021

2840
00:46:52,258 --> 00:46:52,525
, 2025 was

2841
00:46:52,525 --> 00:46:53,860
when

2842
00:46:53,860 --> 00:46:54,359
the

2843
00:46:54,359 --> 00:46:54,928
Nielsen brothers

2844
00:46:54,928 --> 00:46:56,620
contract was signed

2845
00:46:56,620 --> 00:46:56,222
, so

2846
00:46:56,222 --> 00:46:56,796
we

2847
00:46:56,796 --> 00:46:57,197
don't have any knowledge about

2848
00:46:57,197 --> 00:46:58,798
the line

2849
00:46:58,798 --> 00:46:59,980
items, how they

2850
00:46:59,980 --> 00:46:59,766
were

2851
00:46:59,766 --> 00:47:01,634
trolled between

2852
00:47:01,634 --> 00:47:03,203
uh Kapla at the

2853
00:47:03,203 --> 00:47:03,603
time, we signed

2854
00:47:03,603 --> 00:47:03,771
that contract

2855
00:47:03,771 --> 00:47:04,700
.

2856
00:47:04,700 --> 00:47:05,705
So this

2857
00:47:05,705 --> 00:47:08,341
is this the detail that

2858
00:47:08,341 --> 00:47:09,843
we gave in this, in these

2859
00:47:09,843 --> 00:47:10,276
two

2860
00:47:10,276 --> 00:47:10,577
pages are

2861
00:47:10,577 --> 00:47:12,379
the

2862
00:47:12,379 --> 00:47:13,460
contract is

2863
00:47:13,460 --> 00:47:14,180
complete, the dry dock

2864
00:47:14,180 --> 00:47:14,814
went

2865
00:47:14,814 --> 00:47:15,348
into MAY. It takes time to get

2866
00:47:15,348 --> 00:47:16,950
those, those in

2867
00:47:16,950 --> 00:47:17,651
. Voices all

2868
00:47:17,651 --> 00:47:18,585
sorted out and provided

2869
00:47:18,585 --> 00:47:19,190
to

2870
00:47:19,190 --> 00:47:21,190
public works

2871
00:47:21,288 --> 00:47:21,788
. And so that's,

2872
00:47:21,788 --> 00:47:22,289
that's what what that

2873
00:47:22,289 --> 00:47:23,723
information is

2874
00:47:23,723 --> 00:47:24,291
the detail. Ok,

2875
00:47:24,291 --> 00:47:25,525
so the numbers that

2876
00:47:25,525 --> 00:47:25,792
were used

2877
00:47:25,792 --> 00:47:26,426
when

2878
00:47:26,426 --> 00:47:27,760
, in 2024, when

2879
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:28,228
they went

2880
00:47:28,228 --> 00:47:28,794
through this

2881
00:47:28,794 --> 00:47:30,794
process was

2882
00:47:31,231 --> 00:47:31,997
the

2883
00:47:31,997 --> 00:47:32,799
estimate, I'm guessing that we

2884
00:47:32,799 --> 00:47:33,399
had received projection is an

2885
00:47:33,399 --> 00:47:34,501
estimate. So there was

2886
00:47:34,501 --> 00:47:35,202
an

2887
00:47:35,202 --> 00:47:35,702
estimate made just based off of

2888
00:47:35,702 --> 00:47:37,300
what we expected

2889
00:47:37,300 --> 00:47:37,471
was needed,

2890
00:47:37,471 --> 00:47:39,720
and that's how

2891
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:39,439
they

2892
00:47:39,439 --> 00:47:39,940
helped

2893
00:47:39,940 --> 00:47:41,508
calculate, but I

2894
00:47:41,508 --> 00:47:42,175
, I think Cindy

2895
00:47:42,175 --> 00:47:42,576
brought up a good point. We

2896
00:47:42,576 --> 00:47:43,777
knew we

2897
00:47:43,777 --> 00:47:44,477
were going to haul out.

2898
00:47:44,477 --> 00:47:46,146
We knew we were going to

2899
00:47:46,146 --> 00:47:46,380
replace the engines

2900
00:47:46,380 --> 00:47:46,679
. Why was

2901
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:48,549
the

2902
00:47:48,549 --> 00:47:50,150
Projected

2903
00:47:50,150 --> 00:47:50,551
only 200,000

2904
00:47:50,551 --> 00:47:50,784
instead of

2905
00:47:50,784 --> 00:47:51,251
the

2906
00:47:51,251 --> 00:47:52,753
million. That

2907
00:47:52,753 --> 00:47:53,187
was the point that Cindy

2908
00:47:53,187 --> 00:47:55,187
brought up

2909
00:47:55,222 --> 00:47:55,689
. Well, those are

2910
00:47:55,689 --> 00:47:57,156
some of the

2911
00:47:57,156 --> 00:47:57,323
questions that

2912
00:47:57,323 --> 00:47:57,925
we

2913
00:47:57,925 --> 00:47:58,258
have, we have provided to us

2914
00:47:58,258 --> 00:47:59,293
today

2915
00:47:59,293 --> 00:47:59,893
, which

2916
00:47:59,893 --> 00:48:00,294
I think public

2917
00:48:00,294 --> 00:48:01,629
works and I

2918
00:48:01,629 --> 00:48:01,929
can work on

2919
00:48:01,929 --> 00:48:02,196
getting

2920
00:48:02,196 --> 00:48:04,164
the

2921
00:48:04,164 --> 00:48:04,398
information for to

2922
00:48:04,398 --> 00:48:04,932
explain

2923
00:48:04,932 --> 00:48:05,866
the differences and

2924
00:48:05,866 --> 00:48:06,330
why

2925
00:48:06,330 --> 00:48:06,599
those

2926
00:48:06,599 --> 00:48:08,469
numbers are the way

2927
00:48:08,469 --> 00:48:08,669
they were

2928
00:48:08,669 --> 00:48:09,203
.

2929
00:48:09,203 --> 00:48:10,436
But that is a

2930
00:48:10,436 --> 00:48:11,305
good point

2931
00:48:11,305 --> 00:48:12,840
because we knew we're gonna pay

2932
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:13,107
the point, Your

2933
00:48:13,107 --> 00:48:13,274
Honor

2934
00:48:13,274 --> 00:48:13,908
. We're

2935
00:48:13,908 --> 00:48:15,276
going to have a haul

2936
00:48:15,276 --> 00:48:15,843
out and

2937
00:48:15,843 --> 00:48:17,344
that would have

2938
00:48:17,344 --> 00:48:17,745
lowered the

2939
00:48:17,745 --> 00:48:19,580
calculated

2940
00:48:19,580 --> 00:48:19,747
. Ticket price

2941
00:48:19,747 --> 00:48:20,800
,

2942
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:20,581
correct

2943
00:48:20,581 --> 00:48:21,682
, uh, by having

2944
00:48:21,682 --> 00:48:22,283
the

2945
00:48:22,283 --> 00:48:22,483
lower estimate

2946
00:48:22,483 --> 00:48:23,818
for

2947
00:48:23,818 --> 00:48:24,317
costs versus

2948
00:48:24,317 --> 00:48:26,287
what was actual

2949
00:48:26,287 --> 00:48:26,787
. Yeah, if you

2950
00:48:26,787 --> 00:48:28,355
would have had a

2951
00:48:28,355 --> 00:48:29,560
higher

2952
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:29,423
projected cost, it would have

2953
00:48:29,423 --> 00:48:30,858
had the

2954
00:48:30,858 --> 00:48:31,157
increase

2955
00:48:31,157 --> 00:48:31,492
be more

2956
00:48:31,492 --> 00:48:32,627
, but

2957
00:48:32,627 --> 00:48:33,427
,

2958
00:48:33,427 --> 00:48:35,263
but like I mentioned, 800

2959
00:48:35,263 --> 00:48:35,595
off

2960
00:48:35,595 --> 00:48:36,130
of the

2961
00:48:36,130 --> 00:48:37,665
projection, so it's

2962
00:48:37,665 --> 00:48:38,199
.

2963
00:48:38,199 --> 00:48:38,633
Just projections are very

2964
00:48:38,633 --> 00:48:39,934
difficult and

2965
00:48:39,934 --> 00:48:40,400
. Ok

2966
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:40,768
. There's also

2967
00:48:40,768 --> 00:48:42,103
another

2968
00:48:42,103 --> 00:48:42,336
piece of kind

2969
00:48:42,336 --> 00:48:43,104
of

2970
00:48:43,104 --> 00:48:44,305
misinformation or lack of

2971
00:48:44,305 --> 00:48:44,672
clarity

2972
00:48:44,672 --> 00:48:44,972
, the

2973
00:48:44,972 --> 00:48:45,339
ferry design

2974
00:48:45,339 --> 00:48:46,741
dollars

2975
00:48:46,741 --> 00:48:47,208
were designed money

2976
00:48:47,208 --> 00:48:48,743
from the state

2977
00:48:48,743 --> 00:48:49,410
. They weren't,

2978
00:48:49,410 --> 00:48:49,610
didn't come from any of

2979
00:48:49,610 --> 00:48:49,876
you,

2980
00:48:49,876 --> 00:48:51,846
and

2981
00:48:51,846 --> 00:48:52,246
could not be used in

2982
00:48:52,246 --> 00:48:52,547
anything but

2983
00:48:52,547 --> 00:48:53,214
fairy

2984
00:48:53,214 --> 00:48:53,548
design

2985
00:48:53,548 --> 00:48:54,150
, and

2986
00:48:54,150 --> 00:48:55,650
I had met with

2987
00:48:55,650 --> 00:48:56,284
Steve Orsini

2988
00:48:56,284 --> 00:48:56,516
before I was even elected, and

2989
00:48:56,516 --> 00:48:57,952
I

2990
00:48:57,952 --> 00:48:58,553
agreed with him then the

2991
00:48:58,553 --> 00:48:59,888
electric ferry was not a

2992
00:48:59,888 --> 00:49:00,522
great

2993
00:49:00,522 --> 00:49:01,220
idea, and I'm really glad to

2994
00:49:01,220 --> 00:49:02,290
see that we've

2995
00:49:02,290 --> 00:49:02,991
moved away from

2996
00:49:02,991 --> 00:49:03,324
that, but those were not our

2997
00:49:03,324 --> 00:49:04,726
dollars

2998
00:49:04,726 --> 00:49:05,560
to

2999
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,361
be reallocated or

3000
00:49:07,361 --> 00:49:07,862
utilized differently. They just

3001
00:49:07,862 --> 00:49:09,297
gave us a plan

3002
00:49:09,297 --> 00:49:09,596
to base our

3003
00:49:09,596 --> 00:49:09,931
.

3004
00:49:09,931 --> 00:49:11,232
Decision

3005
00:49:11,232 --> 00:49:11,766
or

3006
00:49:11,766 --> 00:49:11,999
further decision

3007
00:49:11,999 --> 00:49:13,635
on

3008
00:49:13,635 --> 00:49:14,102
now looking

3009
00:49:14,102 --> 00:49:14,335
at

3010
00:49:14,335 --> 00:49:16,370
a

3011
00:49:16,370 --> 00:49:16,738
diesel hybrid,

3012
00:49:16,738 --> 00:49:18,390
which will be the ferry

3013
00:49:18,390 --> 00:49:18,673
, but

3014
00:49:18,673 --> 00:49:19,407
that's still, we're looking at

3015
00:49:19,407 --> 00:49:20,608
10 years down the road where

3016
00:49:20,608 --> 00:49:20,842
our ferry is

3017
00:49:20,842 --> 00:49:21,109
now

3018
00:49:21,109 --> 00:49:22,911
working

3019
00:49:22,911 --> 00:49:23,545
adequately and we can keep it

3020
00:49:23,545 --> 00:49:24,813
going and we can work

3021
00:49:24,813 --> 00:49:25,413
slowly

3022
00:49:25,413 --> 00:49:25,880
towards getting adequate

3023
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,249
funding for the

3024
00:49:27,249 --> 00:49:27,649
diesel hybrid

3025
00:49:27,649 --> 00:49:29,117
instead of

3026
00:49:29,117 --> 00:49:29,351
the

3027
00:49:29,351 --> 00:49:29,951
incredibly

3028
00:49:29,951 --> 00:49:30,452
expensive, as you pointed out

3029
00:49:30,452 --> 00:49:31,620
years ago, Mr

3030
00:49:31,620 --> 00:49:32,530
. Arsini

3031
00:49:32,530 --> 00:49:32,454
, very

3032
00:49:32,454 --> 00:49:34,454
expensive

3033
00:49:34,856 --> 00:49:35,257
and

3034
00:49:35,257 --> 00:49:35,690
very not, no

3035
00:49:35,690 --> 00:49:36,324
,

3036
00:49:36,324 --> 00:49:36,825
we're not sure how well it's

3037
00:49:36,825 --> 00:49:38,226
gonna work. So

3038
00:49:38,226 --> 00:49:38,402
, so

3039
00:49:38,402 --> 00:49:39,610
those

3040
00:49:39,610 --> 00:49:39,694
dollars, we have to take that

3041
00:49:39,694 --> 00:49:40,628
out of the conversation

3042
00:49:40,628 --> 00:49:41,630
. They

3043
00:49:41,630 --> 00:49:42,931
aren't part

3044
00:49:42,931 --> 00:49:43,765
conversation about

3045
00:49:43,765 --> 00:49:45,330
how we come up with a very

3046
00:49:45,330 --> 00:49:45,500
good

3047
00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:45,967
ferry for our

3048
00:49:45,967 --> 00:49:47,690
county

3049
00:49:47,690 --> 00:49:47,402
for for

3050
00:49:47,402 --> 00:49:49,402
price

3051
00:49:49,971 --> 00:49:50,272
. So

3052
00:49:50,272 --> 00:49:50,706
Alan

3053
00:49:50,706 --> 00:49:52,574
did, was there

3054
00:49:52,574 --> 00:49:52,841
?

3055
00:49:52,841 --> 00:49:54,810
So I

3056
00:49:54,810 --> 00:49:55,476
, I

3057
00:49:55,476 --> 00:49:56,178
, um, I, I

3058
00:49:56,178 --> 00:49:56,612
just want to

3059
00:49:56,612 --> 00:49:57,212
put forward to the

3060
00:49:57,212 --> 00:49:58,514
commissioners you have

3061
00:49:58,514 --> 00:49:59,281
2

3062
00:49:59,281 --> 00:49:59,548
resolutions before you today.

3063
00:49:59,548 --> 00:50:01,490
One

3064
00:50:01,490 --> 00:50:01,650
pertains to the

3065
00:50:01,650 --> 00:50:03,252
punch cards

3066
00:50:03,252 --> 00:50:03,752
and the expiration

3067
00:50:03,752 --> 00:50:04,186
of them, and

3068
00:50:04,186 --> 00:50:05,821
another is

3069
00:50:05,821 --> 00:50:06,388
, is what to do, and

3070
00:50:06,388 --> 00:50:07,623
I understand

3071
00:50:07,623 --> 00:50:07,890
that

3072
00:50:07,890 --> 00:50:08,590
those

3073
00:50:08,590 --> 00:50:09,625
indicated today that

3074
00:50:09,625 --> 00:50:10,192
you did,

3075
00:50:10,192 --> 00:50:10,459
they did not get

3076
00:50:10,459 --> 00:50:10,617
the

3077
00:50:10,617 --> 00:50:10,926
draft

3078
00:50:10,926 --> 00:50:12,261
version

3079
00:50:12,261 --> 00:50:12,561
of that was

3080
00:50:12,561 --> 00:50:13,280
not

3081
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:14,296
distributed

3082
00:50:14,296 --> 00:50:14,763
. So

3083
00:50:14,763 --> 00:50:15,970
we

3084
00:50:15,970 --> 00:50:17,970
have built

3085
00:50:17,166 --> 00:50:17,666
into this an opportunity for an

3086
00:50:17,666 --> 00:50:18,834
executive session

3087
00:50:18,834 --> 00:50:19,668
for you to

3088
00:50:19,668 --> 00:50:19,935
discuss this matter if you wish

3089
00:50:19,935 --> 00:50:21,370
to

3090
00:50:21,370 --> 00:50:21,937
do these matters, if you

3091
00:50:21,937 --> 00:50:23,772
wish to do so, so

3092
00:50:23,772 --> 00:50:24,540
. That's the

3093
00:50:24,540 --> 00:50:26,175
question of whether we wish to

3094
00:50:26,175 --> 00:50:26,742
do so at

3095
00:50:26,742 --> 00:50:28,410
this time or whether

3096
00:50:28,410 --> 00:50:30,413
or not you wish to enter any of

3097
00:50:30,413 --> 00:50:32,413
the resolutions

3098
00:50:32,415 --> 00:50:32,648
. So

3099
00:50:32,648 --> 00:50:32,882
, so

3100
00:50:32,882 --> 00:50:33,382
that's

3101
00:50:33,382 --> 00:50:34,583
the the proposals

3102
00:50:34,583 --> 00:50:35,510
that are

3103
00:50:35,510 --> 00:50:35,351
before you today

3104
00:50:35,351 --> 00:50:36,818
. We

3105
00:50:36,818 --> 00:50:36,978
have

3106
00:50:36,978 --> 00:50:37,586
an

3107
00:50:37,586 --> 00:50:38,154
opportunity to discuss either

3108
00:50:38,154 --> 00:50:38,988
of those matters in

3109
00:50:38,988 --> 00:50:39,822
the

3110
00:50:39,822 --> 00:50:42,458
executive session if you'd like

3111
00:50:42,458 --> 00:50:43,426
Commissioner Browning

3112
00:50:43,426 --> 00:50:43,826
, any

3113
00:50:43,826 --> 00:50:45,826
thoughts

3114
00:50:48,997 --> 00:50:50,266
? You get

3115
00:50:50,266 --> 00:50:50,666
that? I'm

3116
00:50:50,666 --> 00:50:52,666
just curious

3117
00:50:54,971 --> 00:50:55,471
. Person

3118
00:50:55,471 --> 00:50:55,972
. Is there

3119
00:50:55,972 --> 00:50:57,106
a reason why we

3120
00:50:57,106 --> 00:50:57,507
didn't get that

3121
00:50:57,507 --> 00:50:59,507
that text

3122
00:50:59,542 --> 00:50:59,809
. I

3123
00:50:59,809 --> 00:51:00,343
would take

3124
00:51:00,343 --> 00:51:00,677
interest in the executive

3125
00:51:00,677 --> 00:51:02,677

3126
00:51:03,980 --> 00:51:04,514
. Mr

3127
00:51:04,514 --> 00:51:06,382
. Brownie

3128
00:51:06,382 --> 00:51:06,549
. I

3129
00:51:06,549 --> 00:51:07,116
don't

3130
00:51:07,116 --> 00:51:08,585
have the script on

3131
00:51:08,585 --> 00:51:08,917
going to the

3132
00:51:08,917 --> 00:51:10,917

3133
00:51:10,987 --> 00:51:12,987

3134
00:51:13,156 --> 00:51:13,389
And we

3135
00:51:13,389 --> 00:51:14,570
just

3136
00:51:14,570 --> 00:51:15,458
needed time

3137
00:51:15,458 --> 00:51:15,825
. As

3138
00:51:15,825 --> 00:51:16,158
to when you

3139
00:51:16,158 --> 00:51:17,460

3141
00:51:17,727 --> 00:51:18,228

3142
00:51:18,228 --> 00:51:20,228
executive session

3143
00:51:20,363 --> 00:51:21,798

3144
00:51:21,798 --> 00:51:22,980
we

3145
00:51:22,980 --> 00:51:22,599

01:04:41,371 --> 01:04:42,973
yards of

3826
01:04:42,973 --> 01:04:43,774
compensatory flood

3827
01:04:43,774 --> 01:04:45,842
storage, and so by removing

3828
01:04:45,842 --> 01:04:47,144
this roadway, they will be

3829
01:04:47,144 --> 01:04:47,476
able

3830
01:04:47,476 --> 01:04:47,945
to meet

3831
01:04:47,945 --> 01:04:48,211
their

3832
01:04:48,211 --> 01:04:48,645
environmental

3833
01:04:48,645 --> 01:04:49,580
requirements

3834
01:04:49,580 --> 01:04:49,879
for

3835
01:04:49,879 --> 01:04:50,547
the

3836
01:04:50,547 --> 01:04:51,514
roundabouts. Um, we're

3837
01:04:51,514 --> 01:04:52,182
still

3838
01:04:52,182 --> 01:04:52,449
working out the agreement with

3839
01:04:52,449 --> 01:04:54,184
them

3840
01:04:54,184 --> 01:04:54,717
for compensation for

3841
01:04:54,717 --> 01:04:56,553
removing that, um

3842
01:04:56,553 --> 01:04:57,322
. Stretch of

3843
01:04:57,322 --> 01:04:58,388
roadway, but uh this is

3844
01:04:58,388 --> 01:04:58,856
the

3845
01:04:58,856 --> 01:04:59,256
first step in

3846
01:04:59,256 --> 01:05:00,657
, in

3847
01:05:00,657 --> 01:05:01,492
, uh, going

3848
01:05:01,492 --> 01:05:02,926
that direction, so that is

3849
01:05:02,926 --> 01:05:03,694
why

3850
01:05:03,694 --> 01:05:04,940
I'm proposing the indefinite

3851
01:05:04,940 --> 01:05:05,329
closure of

3852
01:05:05,329 --> 01:05:05,662
Collins

3853
01:05:05,662 --> 01:05:06,296
Road at the

3854
01:05:06,296 --> 01:05:07,131
railroad tracks and just

3855
01:05:07,131 --> 01:05:07,798
a

3856
01:05:07,798 --> 01:05:08,365
little bit south of that

3857
01:05:08,365 --> 01:05:10,334
. I

3858
01:05:10,334 --> 01:05:10,868
knew you weren't here back when

3859
01:05:10,868 --> 01:05:12,690
they did close it

3860
01:05:12,690 --> 01:05:12,635
, and there's

3861
01:05:12,635 --> 01:05:14,204
definitely a lot of

3862
01:05:14,204 --> 01:05:15,105
concern

3863
01:05:15,105 --> 01:05:16,974
about potential floods. How can

3864
01:05:16,974 --> 01:05:17,207
people evacuate and so

3865
01:05:17,207 --> 01:05:17,377
forth

3866
01:05:17,377 --> 01:05:17,741
.

3867
01:05:17,741 --> 01:05:18,842
Any comments

3868
01:05:18,842 --> 01:05:19,760
on

3869
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:19,443
that

3870
01:05:19,443 --> 01:05:19,810
? Certainly

3871
01:05:19,810 --> 01:05:20,911
so both

3872
01:05:20,911 --> 01:05:21,579
in

3873
01:05:21,579 --> 01:05:21,945
the 2021 flood event

3874
01:05:21,945 --> 01:05:23,247
and then

3875
01:05:23,247 --> 01:05:23,747
the

3876
01:05:23,747 --> 01:05:23,910
2025 flood event

3877
01:05:23,910 --> 01:05:24,381
,

3878
01:05:24,381 --> 01:05:25,615
uh, there was no

3879
01:05:25,615 --> 01:05:26,116
calls for

3880
01:05:26,116 --> 01:05:26,517
reopening that

3881
01:05:26,517 --> 01:05:28,180
road

3882
01:05:28,180 --> 01:05:28,318
and

3883
01:05:28,318 --> 01:05:29,854
from

3884
01:05:29,854 --> 01:05:30,521
um

3885
01:05:30,521 --> 01:05:31,122
bnsf's maintenance along that

3886
01:05:31,122 --> 01:05:32,490
corridor, there is

3887
01:05:32,490 --> 01:05:32,690
no

3888
01:05:32,690 --> 01:05:33,570
physical

3889
01:05:33,570 --> 01:05:33,424
way to

3890
01:05:33,424 --> 01:05:34,625
any more

3891
01:05:34,625 --> 01:05:34,992
cross that

3892
01:05:34,992 --> 01:05:36,992
crossing

3893
01:05:37,728 --> 01:05:38,620
. So they're going to

3894
01:05:38,620 --> 01:05:39,464
make

3895
01:05:39,464 --> 01:05:40,300
a

3896
01:05:40,300 --> 01:05:40,698
big ditch there, or I

3897
01:05:40,698 --> 01:05:41,232
mean, could people walk

3898
01:05:41,232 --> 01:05:41,866
across

3899
01:05:41,866 --> 01:05:42,233
if they wanted to, or is it

3900
01:05:42,233 --> 01:05:43,501
going to

3901
01:05:43,501 --> 01:05:43,901
be

3902
01:05:43,901 --> 01:05:44,234
in passable

3903
01:05:44,234 --> 01:05:45,803
for

3904
01:05:45,803 --> 01:05:46,436
humans

3905
01:05:46,436 --> 01:05:46,671
. It is going to

3906
01:05:46,671 --> 01:05:48,372
be

3907
01:05:48,372 --> 01:05:48,873
impassable. Ok

3908
01:05:48,873 --> 01:05:49,173
. I'm sure that

3909
01:05:49,173 --> 01:05:50,908
as

3910
01:05:50,908 --> 01:05:51,609
a pedestrian you could walk

3911
01:05:51,609 --> 01:05:52,577
across the tracks, but it

3912
01:05:52,577 --> 01:05:53,144
is

3913
01:05:53,144 --> 01:05:55,144
a

3914
01:05:55,279 --> 01:05:55,646
formal um roadway, it would

3915
01:05:55,646 --> 01:05:55,879
uh

3916
01:05:55,879 --> 01:05:57,382
be

3917
01:05:57,382 --> 01:05:57,542
indefinitely closed. Ok

3918
01:05:57,542 --> 01:05:58,150

, uh

4025
01:07:39,318 --> 01:07:40,519
properties, we don't

4026
01:07:40,519 --> 01:07:41,387
own those

4027
01:07:41,387 --> 01:07:43,389
yet. So what this is, is

4028
01:07:43,389 --> 01:07:43,856
, um,

4029
01:07:43,856 --> 01:07:45,124
an agreement to

4030
01:07:45,124 --> 01:07:45,957
lay

4031
01:07:45,957 --> 01:07:47,360
in place

4032
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:47,960
,

4033
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:48,327
the framework for so

4034
01:07:48,327 --> 01:07:49,829
that when

4035
01:07:49,829 --> 01:07:50,620
we close on

4036
01:07:50,620 --> 01:07:50,529
the

4037
01:07:50,529 --> 01:07:52,264
Haller property

4038
01:07:52,264 --> 01:07:52,631
we have a

4039
01:07:52,631 --> 01:07:53,990
full

4040
01:07:53,990 --> 01:07:54,333
agreements with

4041
01:07:54,333 --> 01:07:55,167
money

4042
01:07:55,167 --> 01:07:56,269
in escrow, so that

4043
01:07:56,269 --> 01:07:56,434
we

4044
01:07:56,434 --> 01:07:57,236
can

4045
01:07:57,236 --> 01:07:59,305
transfer the various pieces of

4046
01:07:59,305 --> 01:07:59,771
the property, uh, to the

4047
01:07:59,771 --> 01:08:01,139
parties that

4048
01:08:01,139 --> 01:08:01,941
are supposed to

4049
01:08:01,941 --> 01:08:03,420
get them, and of course, you

4050
01:08:03,420 --> 01:08:03,809
know

4051
01:08:03,809 --> 01:08:04,143
, www is ending up with the

4052
01:08:04,143 --> 01:08:06,143
habitat

4053
01:08:06,612 --> 01:08:07,847
. Swisher ending up with

4054

we are

4056
01:08:08,815 --> 01:08:09,716
reselling. What I wanted to

4057
01:08:09,716 --> 01:08:10,116
do

4058
01:08:10,116 --> 01:08:10,583
is just

4059
01:08:10,583 --> 01:08:10,883

4060
01:08:10,883 --> 01:08:12,118
folks in

4061
01:08:12,118 --> 01:08:12,819
the

4062
01:08:12,819 --> 01:08:13,186
audience, and they might be

4063
01:08:13,186 --> 01:08:14,187
watching

4064
01:08:14,187 --> 01:08:14,654
this

4065
01:08:14,654 --> 01:08:15,355
to just not take

4066
01:08:15,355 --> 01:08:15,621
a lot of time, but a little bit

4067
01:08:15,621 --> 01:08:16,823
of

4068
01:08:16,823 --> 01:08:17,189
high level as

doing

4072
01:08:18,858 --> 01:08:19,826
it

4073
01:08:19,826 --> 01:08:21,294
. Um, so

4074
01:08:21,294 --> 01:08:22,195
what we're looking

4075
01:08:22,195 --> 01:08:23,620

of course

4078
01:08:23,696 --> 01:08:24,130
, is

4079
01:08:24,130 --> 01:08:24,397

branches here and here

4090
01:08:32,405 --> 01:08:32,572
. Um

4091
01:08:32,572 --> 01:08:33,139

4094
01:08:37,100 --> 01:08:37,844
is uh the

4095
01:08:37,844 --> 01:08:39,120
Fishtown area

4096
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:39,746
, um,

4097
01:08:39,746 --> 01:08:40,130
you know, this is the

farm

4100
01:08:42,148 --> 01:08:42,515
. It's uh been in

4101
01:08:42,515 --> 01:08:43,783
continuous

4102
01:08:43,783 --> 01:08:43,942

4104
01:08:44,518 --> 01:08:46,190

4106
01:08:46,786 --> 01:08:48,120
since prior to statehood

4107
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:48,788
. This

4108
01:08:48,788 --> 01:08:51,240
red area within it

4109
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:51,187
. Is

4110
01:08:51,187 --> 01:08:51,458
the

4111
01:08:51,458 --> 01:08:52,692
number

4112
01:08:52,692 --> 01:08:53,260
one

4113
01:08:53,260 --> 01:08:53,393
sgadget

4114
01:08:53,393 --> 01:08:55,162

estuary projects

4117
01:08:57,630 --> 01:08:57,464
, uh,

4118
01:08:57,464 --> 01:08:57,898
kind of in

4119
01:08:57,898 --> 01:08:59,466
the

4120
01:08:59,466 --> 01:09:00,267
portfolio that

4121
01:09:00,267 --> 01:09:01,568
identified by

4122
01:09:01,568 --> 01:09:01,768
the

4123
01:09:01,768 --> 01:09:02,335
Chinook

4124
01:09:02,335 --> 01:09:02,569
recovery Plan, the

4125
01:09:02,569 --> 01:09:03,870
2005

4126
01:09:03,870 --> 01:09:04,471
Chinook

4127
01:09:04,471 --> 01:09:04,627
recovery plan that was

4128
01:09:04,627 --> 01:09:05,710
put

4129
01:09:05,710 --> 01:09:06,606
together by the

4130
01:09:06,606 --> 01:09:06,873
tribe's wfw and

4131
01:09:06,873 --> 01:09:08,542
the

4132
01:09:08,542 --> 01:09:08,709
federal agencies

4133
01:09:08,709 --> 01:09:09,376
. Now I

4134
01:09:09,376 --> 01:09:10,677
think anybody who's

4135
01:09:10,677 --> 01:09:11,311
been around

4136
01:09:11,311 --> 01:09:11,645
the Skagit Valley for

4137
01:09:11,645 --> 01:09:11,912
the last

4138
01:09:11,912 --> 01:09:12,980
2

4139
01:09:12,980 --> 01:09:13,213
or

4140
01:09:13,213 --> 01:09:13,580
3

4141
01:09:13,580 --> 01:09:15,215
decades

4142
01:09:15,215 --> 01:09:16,490
, understands

4143
01:09:16,490 --> 01:09:17,851
that there's been a lot of

4144
01:09:17,851 --> 01:09:18,652
conflict

4145
01:09:18,652 --> 01:09:20,154
over um these projects

4146
01:09:20,154 --> 01:09:20,654
Not

4147
01:09:20,654 --> 01:09:22,220
moving

4148
01:09:22,220 --> 01:09:22,423
forward

4149
01:09:22,423 --> 01:09:23,122
other than

4150
01:09:23,122 --> 01:09:24,291
the projects on some

4151
01:09:24,291 --> 01:09:25,580
public

4152
01:09:25,580 --> 01:09:25,459
land that the state owns around

4153
01:09:25,459 --> 01:09:26,660
the mouth

4154
01:09:26,660 --> 01:09:28,595
of the South Fork

4155
01:09:28,595 --> 01:09:29,430
. Um

4156
01:09:29,430 --> 01:09:29,595
and that really has been

4157
01:09:29,595 --> 01:09:29,897
the

4158
01:09:29,897 --> 01:09:31,498
core of

4159
01:09:31,498 --> 01:09:32,967
You know

4160
01:09:32,967 --> 01:09:33,467
, the

4161
01:09:33,467 --> 01:09:33,834
challenges that

4162
01:09:33,834 --> 01:09:34,401
we've

4163
01:09:34,401 --> 01:09:36,303
experienced with

4164
01:09:36,303 --> 01:09:36,937
uh with tide

4165
01:09:36,937 --> 01:09:37,605
gate permitting

4166
01:09:37,605 --> 01:09:38,720
, with

4167
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:38,706
water

4168
01:09:38,706 --> 01:09:39,740
rights and so solving

4169
01:09:39,740 --> 01:09:40,207
that

4170
01:09:40,207 --> 01:09:40,674
problem and it

4171
01:09:40,674 --> 01:09:40,974
, it certainly, i

4172
01:09:40,974 --> 01:09:42,543
think

4173
01:09:42,543 --> 01:09:43,243
boiled over into the

4174
01:09:43,243 --> 01:09:44,445
political realm and any

4175
01:09:44,445 --> 01:09:44,745
other

4176
01:09:44,745 --> 01:09:46,745
realms

4177
01:09:46,847 --> 01:09:47,381
. And it's been a long

4178
01:09:47,381 --> 01:09:49,381
running problem in

4179
01:09:49,650 --> 01:09:50,251
our

4180
01:09:50,251 --> 01:09:51,285
community. Uh, when

4181
01:09:51,285 --> 01:09:51,485
we started

4182
01:09:51,485 --> 01:09:52,286
,

4183
01:09:52,286 --> 01:09:53,387
uh, the, the Seattle

4184
01:09:53,387 --> 01:09:54,210
City Light

4185
01:09:54,210 --> 01:09:54,288
dam re licensing

4186
01:09:54,288 --> 01:09:55,723
in

4187
01:09:55,723 --> 01:09:56,424
2020, I

4188
01:09:56,424 --> 01:09:56,857
think that, you know, we really

4189
01:09:56,857 --> 01:09:58,292
were able to

4190
01:09:58,292 --> 01:09:58,859
come together with

4191
01:09:58,859 --> 01:10:00,940
the tribes and with

4192
01:10:00,940 --> 01:10:00,728
the

4193
01:10:00,728 --> 01:10:01,295
resource agencies to say we

4194
01:10:01,295 --> 01:10:02,796
need a new approach

4195
01:10:02,796 --> 01:10:03,197
to this

4196
01:10:03,197 --> 01:10:03,563
. Um

4197
01:10:03,563 --> 01:10:04,732
we need

4198
01:10:04,732 --> 01:10:05,266
to

4199
01:10:05,266 --> 01:10:06,934
really

4200
01:10:06,934 --> 01:10:07,468
focus on

4201
01:10:07,468 --> 01:10:08,350
uh

4202
01:10:08,350 --> 01:10:09,337
working together and

4203
01:10:09,337 --> 01:10:09,737
, um, you

4204
01:10:09,737 --> 01:10:10,171
know, making

4205
01:10:10,171 --> 01:10:11,472
this

4206
01:10:11,472 --> 01:10:12,206
happen

4207
01:10:12,206 --> 01:10:13,508
because more decades of

4208
01:10:13,508 --> 01:10:14,242
arguing

4209
01:10:14,242 --> 01:10:14,642
about this is the wrong answer.

4210
01:10:14,642 --> 01:10:16,110
So that's

4211
01:10:16,110 --> 01:10:16,843
What

4212
01:10:16,843 --> 01:10:18,146
this represents

4213
01:10:18,146 --> 01:10:18,846
in

4214
01:10:18,846 --> 01:10:19,147
, you know, we reached, uh, I

4215
01:10:19,147 --> 01:10:20,615
think

4216
01:10:20,615 --> 01:10:20,915
around that

4217
01:10:20,915 --> 01:10:21,215
concept in

4218
01:10:21,215 --> 01:10:22,984
2020

4219
01:10:22,984 --> 01:10:24,984
. Um

4220
01:10:25,319 --> 01:10:25,853
, and made, uh, you

4221
01:10:25,853 --> 01:10:27,388
know, some

4222
01:10:27,388 --> 01:10:29,157
steps towards it

4223
01:10:29,157 --> 01:10:29,424
,

4224
01:10:29,424 --> 01:10:29,723
but

4225
01:10:29,723 --> 01:10:30,258
in

4226
01:10:30,258 --> 01:10:31,793
2024, the

4227
01:10:31,793 --> 01:10:32,327
Haller family

4228
01:10:32,327 --> 01:10:32,594
put out there that

4229
01:10:32,594 --> 01:10:33,828
they

4230
01:10:33,828 --> 01:10:34,562
were

4231
01:10:34,562 --> 01:10:36,197
interested in selling the farm

4232
01:10:36,197 --> 01:10:36,431
.

4233
01:10:36,431 --> 01:10:37,165
Um

4234
01:10:37,165 --> 01:10:38,233
, it's actually a group

4235
01:10:38,233 --> 01:10:38,833
of

4236
01:10:38,833 --> 01:10:39,300
families at this

4237
01:10:39,300 --> 01:10:40,902
point that own

4238
01:10:40,902 --> 01:10:41,602
this farm

4239
01:10:41,602 --> 01:10:42,700
and uh but they also

4240
01:10:42,700 --> 01:10:43,338
made clear that

4241
01:10:43,338 --> 01:10:44,380
they really

4242
01:10:44,380 --> 01:10:44,305
weren't interested in seeing it

4243
01:10:44,305 --> 01:10:45,506
go

4244
01:10:45,506 --> 01:10:46,740
to habitat

4245
01:10:46,740 --> 01:10:46,274
. So that was

4246
01:10:46,274 --> 01:10:48,274
a

4247
01:10:48,343 --> 01:10:49,843
problem, at least for our plans

4248
01:10:49,843 --> 01:10:50,345
for the

4249
01:10:50,345 --> 01:10:50,712
broader community's

4250
01:10:50,712 --> 01:10:52,147
plans for

4251
01:10:52,147 --> 01:10:52,514
the

4252
01:10:52,514 --> 01:10:53,181
fisheries

4253
01:10:53,181 --> 01:10:53,480
resource for the recovery plan,

4254
01:10:53,480 --> 01:10:54,416
all

4255
01:10:54,416 --> 01:10:55,116
of this

4256
01:10:55,116 --> 01:10:56,418
, tribal

4257
01:10:56,418 --> 01:10:57,185
interests,

4258
01:10:57,185 --> 01:10:57,419
um, and what we were able to do

4259
01:10:57,419 --> 01:10:59,540
as

4260
01:10:59,540 --> 01:10:59,320
county government is bring

4261
01:10:59,320 --> 01:10:59,721
the

4262
01:10:59,721 --> 01:11:01,880
parties

4263
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:01,890
together and say,

4264
01:11:01,890 --> 01:11:02,991
you know, the county can

4265
01:11:02,991 --> 01:11:03,258
come

4266
01:11:03,258 --> 01:11:04,158
in

4267
01:11:04,158 --> 01:11:05,393
. We have eminent

4268
01:11:05,393 --> 01:11:06,328
domain

4269
01:11:06,328 --> 01:11:08,396
authority, and we'll make you a

4270
01:11:08,396 --> 01:11:08,730
friendly offer, and what that

4271
01:11:08,730 --> 01:11:10,730
will do

4272
01:11:11,660 --> 01:11:12,367
. Provides

4273
01:11:12,367 --> 01:11:13,135
significant

4274
01:11:13,135 --> 01:11:14,569
federal tax advantages and the

4275
01:11:14,569 --> 01:11:14,870
capital

4276
01:11:14,870 --> 01:11:15,270
gains

4277
01:11:15,270 --> 01:11:17,105
scenario, um

4278
01:11:17,105 --> 01:11:17,806
, And

4279
01:11:17,806 --> 01:11:18,907
real estate excise tax

4280
01:11:18,907 --> 01:11:19,341
, so

4281
01:11:19,341 --> 01:11:21,341
we're able

4282
01:11:21,410 --> 01:11:21,843
to

4283
01:11:21,843 --> 01:11:22,511
persuade thusly,

4284
01:11:22,511 --> 01:11:23,478
we're able to persuade

4285
01:11:23,478 --> 01:11:24,146
the

4286
01:11:24,146 --> 01:11:24,479
Haller Farm family

4287
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:25,580
to sell

4288
01:11:25,580 --> 01:11:25,847
this

4289
01:11:25,847 --> 01:11:27,847
farm

4290
01:11:27,982 --> 01:11:28,550
. And

4291
01:11:28,550 --> 01:11:28,984
uh including a plan

4292
01:11:28,984 --> 01:11:30,352
that would

4293
01:11:30,352 --> 01:11:31,186
involve this red

4294
01:11:31,186 --> 01:11:32,354
area being turned into

4295
01:11:32,354 --> 01:11:32,988
fish

4296
01:11:32,988 --> 01:11:33,455
habitat and a dike

4297
01:11:33,455 --> 01:11:35,190
estuary dike

4298
01:11:35,190 --> 01:11:35,456
setback project. Again

4299
01:11:35,456 --> 01:11:35,724
, number

4300
01:11:35,724 --> 01:11:37,293
one

4301
01:11:37,293 --> 01:11:37,993
project here, top of the

4302
01:11:37,993 --> 01:11:39,128
list in terms of moving

4303
01:11:39,128 --> 01:11:39,828
the

4304
01:11:39,828 --> 01:11:40,295
arch sticks

4305
01:11:40,295 --> 01:11:42,640
towards recovery

4306
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:42,731
and solving these problems with

4307
01:11:42,731 --> 01:11:44,433
tide gates and other things

4308
01:11:44,433 --> 01:11:44,799
. Um

4309
01:11:44,799 --> 01:11:45,868
the rest

4310
01:11:45,868 --> 01:11:46,368
of the

4311
01:11:46,368 --> 01:11:47,200
farm though, uh

4312
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:48,270
what's to be done about

4313
01:11:48,270 --> 01:11:48,504
that

4314
01:11:48,504 --> 01:11:49,171
?

4315
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:50,506
And so this was the

4316
01:11:50,506 --> 01:11:51,273
plan we

4317
01:11:51,273 --> 01:11:53,709
came up with. This is my rough

4318
01:11:53,709 --> 01:11:54,343
hand-drawn map. They're,

4319
01:11:54,343 --> 01:11:54,910
believe me, there are better

4320
01:11:54,910 --> 01:11:55,577
maps and we have surveyors

4321
01:11:55,577 --> 01:11:56,440
involved, so nobody get

4322
01:11:56,440 --> 01:11:57,313
concerned here

4323
01:11:57,313 --> 01:11:57,879
, but, um

4324
01:11:57,879 --> 01:11:58,180
, You

4325
01:11:58,180 --> 01:11:59,648
know

4326
01:11:59,648 --> 01:11:59,806
, and this was, this

4327
01:11:59,806 --> 01:12:00,149
was

4328
01:12:00,149 --> 01:12:00,516
the rough

4329
01:12:00,516 --> 01:12:01,951
plan that

4330
01:12:01,951 --> 01:12:02,184
the

4331
01:12:02,184 --> 01:12:02,785
habitat

4332
01:12:02,785 --> 01:12:04,253
portion here goes to

4333
01:12:04,253 --> 01:12:04,587
the

4334
01:12:04,587 --> 01:12:04,854
state

4335
01:12:04,854 --> 01:12:06,388
that

4336
01:12:06,388 --> 01:12:07,220
Swinomish end up with

4337
01:12:07,220 --> 01:12:07,256
Fishtown. Fishtown, of course,

4338
01:12:07,256 --> 01:12:08,491
is

4339
01:12:08,491 --> 01:12:09,250
the

4340
01:12:09,250 --> 01:12:09,558
storied artist colony at

4341
01:12:09,558 --> 01:12:10,960
the mouth of the

4342
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:11,127
North Fork

4343
01:12:11,127 --> 01:12:11,460
.

4344
01:12:11,460 --> 01:12:11,760
It's a

4345
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,229
very

4346
01:12:13,229 --> 01:12:14,300
significant

4347
01:12:14,300 --> 01:12:15,310
cultural site for Swinomish

4348
01:12:15,310 --> 01:12:15,598
.

4349
01:12:15,598 --> 01:12:16,165
There's a historic village

4350
01:12:16,165 --> 01:12:17,900
there that there was

4351
01:12:17,900 --> 01:12:18,868
an

4352
01:12:18,868 --> 01:12:20,200
archaeological investigation

4353
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:20,436
in

4354
01:12:20,436 --> 01:12:20,937
the 80s

4355
01:12:20,937 --> 01:12:22,404
, very important to

4356
01:12:22,404 --> 01:12:22,872
the

4357
01:12:22,872 --> 01:12:24,872
tribe, and

4358
01:12:24,974 --> 01:12:25,575
, uh, Swinish up here

4359
01:12:25,575 --> 01:12:26,576
is to get this other

4360
01:12:26,576 --> 01:12:26,776
piece

4361
01:12:26,776 --> 01:12:27,376
of

4362
01:12:27,376 --> 01:12:29,110
uplands, uh, pleasant

4363
01:12:29,110 --> 01:12:30,680
, Ridge

4364
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:31,480
,

4365
01:12:31,480 --> 01:12:31,981
um, guillo pickles, which is

4366
01:12:31,981 --> 01:12:33,316
operating at the

4367
01:12:33,316 --> 01:12:33,583
pickle plant.

4368
01:12:33,583 --> 01:12:34,450
They

4369
01:12:34,450 --> 01:12:35,418
, uh, have purchased

4370
01:12:35,418 --> 01:12:36,119
this

4371
01:12:36,119 --> 01:12:36,386
portion of the property

4372
01:12:36,386 --> 01:12:36,753
. This

4373
01:12:36,753 --> 01:12:38,530
doesn't

4374
01:12:38,530 --> 01:12:38,755
entirely track how it

4375
01:12:38,755 --> 01:12:39,989
ended up, but But you get

4376
01:12:39,989 --> 01:12:40,923
the

4377
01:12:40,923 --> 01:12:42,425
idea. And so the idea

4378
01:12:42,425 --> 01:12:42,592
here is

4379
01:12:42,592 --> 01:12:43,158
,

4380
01:12:43,158 --> 01:12:44,661
uh, you know, the

4381
01:12:44,661 --> 01:12:44,928
county

4382
01:12:44,928 --> 01:12:45,560
closes

4383
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:46,963
on this acquisition

4384
01:12:46,963 --> 01:12:47,430
, and we

4385
01:12:47,430 --> 01:12:47,763
immediately

4386
01:12:47,763 --> 01:12:49,232
turn

4387
01:12:49,232 --> 01:12:50,330
around and

4388
01:12:50,330 --> 01:12:51,835
transfer the habitat land

4389
01:12:51,835 --> 01:12:52,101
to

4390
01:12:52,101 --> 01:12:53,670
wfw

4391
01:12:53,670 --> 01:12:54,337
, uh, Seattle City

4392
01:12:54,337 --> 01:12:54,495
Light

4393
01:12:54,495 --> 01:12:54,804
has

4394
01:12:54,804 --> 01:12:55,772
stepped

4395
01:12:55,772 --> 01:12:56,105
up

4396
01:12:56,105 --> 01:12:56,739
and said that

4397
01:12:56,739 --> 01:12:57,400
they're willing to fund that

4398
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:58,440
from

4399
01:12:58,440 --> 01:12:58,942
Uh

4400
01:12:58,942 --> 01:13:00,276
, the ferc

4401
01:13:00,276 --> 01:13:00,910
settlement

4402
01:13:00,910 --> 01:13:01,544
agreement, so it's a win there

4403
01:13:01,544 --> 01:13:01,811
and we're, you know, that was

4404
01:13:01,811 --> 01:13:03,146
one

4405
01:13:03,146 --> 01:13:03,446
of our big concerns and

4406
01:13:03,446 --> 01:13:04,647
that

4407
01:13:04,647 --> 01:13:05,215
ferc

4408
01:13:05,215 --> 01:13:05,849
settlement process is

4409
01:13:05,849 --> 01:13:07,183
making sure

4410
01:13:07,183 --> 01:13:07,884
that this money

4411
01:13:07,884 --> 01:13:08,184
isn't just sort of fire hosed

4412
01:13:08,184 --> 01:13:09,686
on our

4413
01:13:09,686 --> 01:13:09,986
land base to buy

4414
01:13:09,986 --> 01:13:10,519
random

4415
01:13:10,519 --> 01:13:11,588
land without moving

4416
01:13:11,588 --> 01:13:12,355
the

4417
01:13:12,355 --> 01:13:12,622
yardsticks on what matters here

4418
01:13:12,622 --> 01:13:13,790
So

4419
01:13:13,790 --> 01:13:14,491
that's a

4420
01:13:14,491 --> 01:13:15,892
great thing. Um

4421
01:13:15,892 --> 01:13:16,325
,

4422
01:13:16,325 --> 01:13:17,126
we've also

4423
01:13:17,126 --> 01:13:19,126
, uh, Swinomish

4424
01:13:19,129 --> 01:13:19,830
, uh,

4425
01:13:19,830 --> 01:13:21,640
after we closed, they, and

4426
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:21,564
that's what this purchase and

4427
01:13:21,564 --> 01:13:22,899
sale agreement is

4428
01:13:22,899 --> 01:13:23,133
about

4429
01:13:23,133 --> 01:13:23,900
is

4430
01:13:23,900 --> 01:13:26,103
Swinomish gets Fishtown and

4431
01:13:26,103 --> 01:13:27,704
Pleasant Ridge. Um, in the

4432
01:13:27,704 --> 01:13:28,404
purchase and sale agreement in

4433
01:13:28,404 --> 01:13:29,940
paragraph, have three, you'll

4434
01:13:29,940 --> 01:13:30,674
see one of the things we

4435
01:13:30,674 --> 01:13:32,175
negotiated is

4436
01:13:32,175 --> 01:13:32,542
upon execution

4437
01:13:32,542 --> 01:13:33,760
,

4438
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:34,311
Swinomishev agreed

4439
01:13:34,311 --> 01:13:34,644
to put their

4440
01:13:34,644 --> 01:13:35,440
money

4441
01:13:35,440 --> 01:13:36,245
in escrow

4442
01:13:36,245 --> 01:13:36,713
with land

4443
01:13:36,713 --> 01:13:37,800
titles so

4444
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:37,480
that everybody's

4445
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:38,815
clear that

4446
01:13:38,815 --> 01:13:39,416
we're all in and

4447
01:13:39,416 --> 01:13:40,851
we're partners on

4448
01:13:40,851 --> 01:13:41,351
this together

4449
01:13:41,351 --> 01:13:43,220
Uh, and that was

4450
01:13:43,220 --> 01:13:43,854
, uh, really

4451
01:13:43,854 --> 01:13:44,388
grateful that they agreed to

4452
01:13:44,388 --> 01:13:45,322
that because I think

4453
01:13:45,322 --> 01:13:45,989
that's

4454
01:13:45,989 --> 01:13:47,324
really helpful in terms of

4455
01:13:47,324 --> 01:13:48,250
How

4456
01:13:48,250 --> 01:13:48,324
the rest of us are looking

4457
01:13:48,324 --> 01:13:48,559
at

4458
01:13:48,559 --> 01:13:50,160
it

4459
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:51,280
, uh, and

4460
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:52,129
, um, and then

4461
01:13:52,129 --> 01:13:52,596
with

4462
01:13:52,596 --> 01:13:54,264
respect to the

4463
01:13:54,264 --> 01:13:54,498
, the

4464
01:13:54,498 --> 01:13:55,266
farmland

4465
01:13:55,266 --> 01:13:56,766
piece here, and that's, by the

4466
01:13:56,766 --> 01:13:57,134
way, all of

4467
01:13:57,134 --> 01:13:57,468
the improvements,

4468
01:13:57,468 --> 01:13:59,468
so the

4469
01:13:59,970 --> 01:14:01,739
, the farmhouse, the farm

4470
01:14:01,739 --> 01:14:02,172
uh, you know, the barn, all of

4471
01:14:02,172 --> 01:14:03,340
that, there's

4472
01:14:03,340 --> 01:14:03,741
3 houses

4473
01:14:03,741 --> 01:14:04,308
on the

4474
01:14:04,308 --> 01:14:05,809
property. They're

4475
01:14:05,809 --> 01:14:06,176
all part of

4476
01:14:06,176 --> 01:14:06,777
this

4477
01:14:06,777 --> 01:14:08,445
core farmland

4478
01:14:08,445 --> 01:14:10,280
, which will

4479
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:10,915
remain ag nrl

4480
01:14:10,915 --> 01:14:12,449
. The

4481
01:14:12,449 --> 01:14:13,116
intention is

4482
01:14:13,116 --> 01:14:13,550
we're peeling off the

4483
01:14:13,550 --> 01:14:14,718
Swinhamish

4484
01:14:14,718 --> 01:14:15,840
piece

4485
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:15,247
pieces in

4486
01:14:15,247 --> 01:14:15,819
the

4487
01:14:15,819 --> 01:14:17,121
wfw pieces were being

4488
01:14:17,121 --> 01:14:17,421
Paid

4489
01:14:17,421 --> 01:14:17,988
by

4490
01:14:17,988 --> 01:14:19,590
them immediately

4491
01:14:19,590 --> 01:14:20,123
for those, and

4492
01:14:20,123 --> 01:14:21,324
the idea is

4493
01:14:21,324 --> 01:14:21,826
that

4494
01:14:21,826 --> 01:14:22,193
Skagit County

4495
01:14:22,193 --> 01:14:23,694
will put a

4496
01:14:23,694 --> 01:14:24,950
farmland

4497
01:14:24,950 --> 01:14:24,628
legacy

4498
01:14:24,628 --> 01:14:25,863
easement on the

4499
01:14:25,863 --> 01:14:26,297
farmland

4500
01:14:26,297 --> 01:14:26,797
property and

4501
01:14:26,797 --> 01:14:28,990
immediately

4502
01:14:28,990 --> 01:14:28,565
resell

4503
01:14:28,565 --> 01:14:28,833
as farmland

4504
01:14:28,833 --> 01:14:29,300
. So

4505
01:14:29,300 --> 01:14:30,334
, you know, it's

4506
01:14:30,334 --> 01:14:31,102
a

4507
01:14:31,102 --> 01:14:31,469
real win-win for the

4508
01:14:31,469 --> 01:14:33,203
community

4509
01:14:33,203 --> 01:14:33,571
, you know, it, it

4510
01:14:33,571 --> 01:14:35,720
meets

4511
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:35,773
Swinnerish needs in terms

4512
01:14:35,773 --> 01:14:37,809
of cultural lands. It

4513
01:14:37,809 --> 01:14:38,609
keeps

4514
01:14:38,609 --> 01:14:38,976
gillo pickles in operation,

4515
01:14:38,976 --> 01:14:39,610
which is

4516
01:14:39,610 --> 01:14:39,877
a, you know

4517
01:14:39,877 --> 01:14:40,344
, pretty

4518
01:14:40,344 --> 01:14:42,213
significant, um

4519
01:14:42,213 --> 01:14:42,914
, Economic

4520
01:14:42,914 --> 01:14:43,681
activity, they're also up

4521
01:14:43,681 --> 01:14:44,348
at

4522
01:14:44,348 --> 01:14:44,682
the port. They're a

4523
01:14:44,682 --> 01:14:46,830
national

4524
01:14:46,830 --> 01:14:46,918
concern

4525
01:14:46,918 --> 01:14:48,786
. It secures the

4526
01:14:48,786 --> 01:14:49,387
property needed for this number

4527
01:14:49,387 --> 01:14:50,721
one estuary project

4528
01:14:50,721 --> 01:14:50,897
and

4529
01:14:50,897 --> 01:14:51,289
the

4530
01:14:51,289 --> 01:14:51,622
recovery plan

4531
01:14:51,622 --> 01:14:52,924
. And

4532
01:14:52,924 --> 01:14:53,791
it protects

4533
01:14:53,791 --> 01:14:56,600
this farmland for the long term

4534
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:57,395
The farmland legacy easement

4535
01:14:57,395 --> 01:14:58,960
,

4536
01:14:58,960 --> 01:14:59,630
uh, we've negotiated with

4537
01:14:59,630 --> 01:14:59,998
the

4538
01:14:59,998 --> 01:15:00,331
tribes and

4539
01:15:00,331 --> 01:15:00,732
agencies

4540
01:15:00,732 --> 01:15:02,660
and

4541
01:15:02,660 --> 01:15:02,366
agreed

4542
01:15:02,366 --> 01:15:02,766
to

4543
01:15:02,766 --> 01:15:04,680
include

4544
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:04,369
a

4545
01:15:04,369 --> 01:15:05,136
climate

4546
01:15:05,136 --> 01:15:06,871
contingency provision in the

4547
01:15:06,871 --> 01:15:07,710
farmland legacy easement

4548
01:15:07,710 --> 01:15:07,372
. So

4549
01:15:07,372 --> 01:15:08,940
that

4550
01:15:08,940 --> 01:15:09,474
if it

4551
01:15:09,474 --> 01:15:10,410
ever does, the sea

4552
01:15:10,410 --> 01:15:10,942
ever comes up and it

4553
01:15:10,942 --> 01:15:11,742
can't be

4554
01:15:11,742 --> 01:15:13,278
used for even raising

4555
01:15:13,278 --> 01:15:13,945
oats, it

4556
01:15:13,945 --> 01:15:14,312
can at that point be used for

4557
01:15:14,312 --> 01:15:15,747
habitat

4558
01:15:15,747 --> 01:15:16,481
, but that's as far as

4559
01:15:16,481 --> 01:15:18,583
we're concerned, a ways down

4560
01:15:18,583 --> 01:15:20,850
the road

4561
01:15:20,850 --> 01:15:20,652
, this little 8 acres

4562
01:15:20,652 --> 01:15:22,530
up here goes with

4563
01:15:22,530 --> 01:15:22,320
the

4564
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:22,886
farmland

4565
01:15:22,886 --> 01:15:23,321
as well, and

4566
01:15:23,321 --> 01:15:25,156
there's buyers

4567
01:15:25,156 --> 01:15:25,490
have expressed interest in it.

4568
01:15:25,490 --> 01:15:26,524
I think

4569
01:15:26,524 --> 01:15:27,580
what

4570
01:15:27,580 --> 01:15:27,559
we will have into

4571
01:15:27,559 --> 01:15:28,960
this at the end

4572
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:29,194
of it

4573
01:15:29,194 --> 01:15:29,394
as

4574
01:15:29,394 --> 01:15:29,728
well

4575
01:15:29,728 --> 01:15:30,127
within

4576
01:15:30,127 --> 01:15:31,229
the bandwidth

4577
01:15:31,229 --> 01:15:31,389
, the

4578
01:15:31,389 --> 01:15:31,796
fair

4579
01:15:31,796 --> 01:15:33,398
market value

4580
01:15:33,398 --> 01:15:34,166
, particularly

4581
01:15:34,166 --> 01:15:34,433
considering all the structures

4582
01:15:34,433 --> 01:15:35,834
and

4583
01:15:35,834 --> 01:15:36,567
infrastructure houses and

4584
01:15:36,567 --> 01:15:37,903
so forth on the farmland

4585
01:15:37,903 --> 01:15:38,603
.

4586
01:15:38,603 --> 01:15:39,204
Portion. So it's really good

4587
01:15:39,204 --> 01:15:41,390
farmland too. It's some

4588
01:15:41,390 --> 01:15:41,573
of the

4589
01:15:41,573 --> 01:15:42,107
best in the

4590
01:15:42,107 --> 01:15:42,574
valley, you know

4591
01:15:42,574 --> 01:15:43,800
,

4592
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:44,543
close to the

4593
01:15:44,543 --> 01:15:44,876
fine

4594
01:15:44,876 --> 01:15:45,644
materials are

4595
01:15:45,644 --> 01:15:46,812
towards the edge of the delta

4596
01:15:46,812 --> 01:15:47,479
,

4597
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:47,779
you know, it's it's it's

4598
01:15:47,779 --> 01:15:48,113
good

4599
01:15:48,113 --> 01:15:49,814
stuff

4600
01:15:49,814 --> 01:15:50,215
, um, so

4601
01:15:50,215 --> 01:15:51,783
the breakdown

4602
01:15:51,783 --> 01:15:52,517
is

4603
01:15:52,517 --> 01:15:54,520
236 acres in

4604
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:54,586
the farmland

4605
01:15:54,586 --> 01:15:54,853
, 126

4606
01:15:54,853 --> 01:15:56,588
for

4607
01:15:56,588 --> 01:15:58,390
the habitat

4608
01:15:58,390 --> 01:15:58,561
, uh, 64

4609
01:15:58,561 --> 01:15:59,258
for

4610
01:15:59,258 --> 01:16:00,859
Pleasant Ridge to Swinomish

4611
01:16:00,859 --> 01:16:01,226
in

4612
01:16:01,226 --> 01:16:01,593
101 in

4613
01:16:01,593 --> 01:16:02,828
fish acres

4614
01:16:02,828 --> 01:16:02,988
to swim

4615
01:16:02,988 --> 01:16:03,295
in

4616
01:16:03,295 --> 01:16:05,300
Fishtown

4617
01:16:05,300 --> 01:16:07,300
. Um

4618
01:16:07,365 --> 01:16:07,633
, totaling

4619
01:16:07,633 --> 01:16:07,966
524

4620
01:16:07,966 --> 01:16:09,966
acres

4621
01:16:09,967 --> 01:16:11,836
, um, this is the final

4622
01:16:11,836 --> 01:16:12,471
survey map

4623

4624
01:16:12,804 --> 01:16:14,173
survey

4625
01:16:14,173 --> 01:16:14,573
that

4626
01:16:14,573 --> 01:16:15,274
Samra Engineering

4627
01:16:15,274 --> 01:16:16,709
has prepared that we've all

4628
01:16:16,709 --> 01:16:18,843
agreed to at this point

4629
01:16:18,843 --> 01:16:19,211
. And it

4630
01:16:19,211 --> 01:16:20,846
you know

4631
01:16:20,846 --> 01:16:21,580
, includes all the

4632
01:16:21,580 --> 01:16:23,482
necessary easements for the

4633
01:16:23,482 --> 01:16:23,916
drainage districts to be able

4634
01:16:23,916 --> 01:16:25,217
to maintain

4635
01:16:25,217 --> 01:16:25,951
their

4636
01:16:25,951 --> 01:16:26,318
infrastructure, access season,

4637
01:16:26,318 --> 01:16:27,586
for fish

4638
01:16:27,586 --> 01:16:28,860
and

4639
01:16:28,860 --> 01:16:28,486
wildlife, so forth

4640
01:16:28,486 --> 01:16:29,889
There was a

4641
01:16:29,889 --> 01:16:30,560
lot of work

4642
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:30,522
that

4643
01:16:30,522 --> 01:16:32,358
went into this

4644
01:16:32,358 --> 01:16:34,358
. So

4645
01:16:34,627 --> 01:16:35,394
, um, getting

4646
01:16:35,394 --> 01:16:36,896
on and trying not to take up

4647
01:16:36,896 --> 01:16:37,530
the whole time today. Uh

4648
01:16:37,530 --> 01:16:37,630
, I

4649
01:16:37,630 --> 01:16:37,897
know there's some other things

4650
01:16:37,897 --> 01:16:39,131
we

4651
01:16:39,131 --> 01:16:39,290
got to get to. The basic

4652
01:16:39,290 --> 01:16:39,532
, so

4653
01:16:39,532 --> 01:16:41,200
the

4654
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:41,466
basic intent here

4655
01:16:41,466 --> 01:16:41,901
, this

4656
01:16:41,901 --> 01:16:43,901
agreement is

4657
01:16:44,700 --> 01:16:44,770
a sub-agreement to

4658
01:16:44,770 --> 01:16:45,104
this larger transaction that

4659
01:16:45,104 --> 01:16:45,871
we're

4660
01:16:45,871 --> 01:16:46,305
putting together

4661
01:16:46,305 --> 01:16:48,740
. This

4662
01:16:48,740 --> 01:16:48,541
agreement governs

4663
01:16:48,541 --> 01:16:50,420
the

4664
01:16:50,420 --> 01:16:50,276
county's

4665
01:16:50,276 --> 01:16:50,810
2

4666
01:16:50,810 --> 01:16:52,444
step sale

4667
01:16:52,444 --> 01:16:53,110
of Fishtown and

4668
01:16:53,110 --> 01:16:53,245
Pleasant Ridge

4669
01:16:53,245 --> 01:16:54,714
to

4670
01:16:54,714 --> 01:16:54,981
Swinomish

4671
01:16:54,981 --> 01:16:55,781
, um

4672
01:16:55,781 --> 01:16:56,516
and you know this is, this is

4673
01:16:56,516 --> 01:16:56,916
a

4674
01:16:56,916 --> 01:16:57,650
big deal

4675
01:16:57,650 --> 01:16:57,950
. We've we've been, you

4676
01:16:57,950 --> 01:16:59,318
know

4677
01:16:59,318 --> 01:17:00,119
, I think, as you know,

4678
01:17:00,119 --> 01:17:01,387
we've been working on this for

4679
01:17:01,387 --> 01:17:01,721
2 years

4680
01:17:01,721 --> 01:17:02,155
. Uh

4681
01:17:02,155 --> 01:17:04,155
, and

4682
01:17:04,457 --> 01:17:05,458
Um, you know

4683
01:17:05,458 --> 01:17:05,724
,

4684
01:17:05,724 --> 01:17:06,492
it's

4685
01:17:06,492 --> 01:17:07,961
come together

4686
01:17:07,961 --> 01:17:08,695
, 01 other

4687
01:17:08,695 --> 01:17:09,262
thing I wanted to mention is I

4688
01:17:09,262 --> 01:17:10,363
think Upper Skagits

4689
01:17:10,363 --> 01:17:10,930
also

4690
01:17:10,930 --> 01:17:12,930
expressed interest

4691
01:17:13,660 --> 01:17:13,533
in

4692
01:17:13,533 --> 01:17:14,834
contributing

4693
01:17:14,834 --> 01:17:15,468
some capital to

4694
01:17:15,468 --> 01:17:16,102
this along with the county to

4695
01:17:16,102 --> 01:17:16,969
help us out. We've got

4696
01:17:16,969 --> 01:17:17,670
to work

4697
01:17:17,670 --> 01:17:19,139
out the details of that

4698
01:17:19,139 --> 01:17:19,706
, so we

4699
01:17:19,706 --> 01:17:20,373
really want to bring this

4700
01:17:20,373 --> 01:17:21,641
together into a, you know

4701
01:17:21,641 --> 01:17:22,375
, team

4702
01:17:22,375 --> 01:17:22,742
scadget effort, and it looks

4703
01:17:22,742 --> 01:17:24,477
headed

4704
01:17:24,477 --> 01:17:26,477
. Um

4705
01:17:26,679 --> 01:17:26,946
, So the

4706
01:17:26,946 --> 01:17:28,181
idea

4707
01:17:28,181 --> 01:17:28,915
here is

4708
01:17:28,915 --> 01:17:29,730
what we're doing is

4709
01:17:29,730 --> 01:17:29,448
we're

4710
01:17:29,448 --> 01:17:30,583
accepting

4711
01:17:30,583 --> 01:17:30,783
an offer

4712
01:17:30,783 --> 01:17:31,151
from

4713
01:17:31,151 --> 01:17:32,652
Swinomish

4714
01:17:32,652 --> 01:17:33,860
. Um

4715
01:17:33,860 --> 01:17:33,886
, and we have till

4716
01:17:33,886 --> 01:17:35,888
today to do it, so it's good

4717
01:17:35,888 --> 01:17:37,958
we're here on AUGUST 31st. Um

4718
01:17:37,958 --> 01:17:38,358
,

4719
01:17:38,358 --> 01:17:39,426
And then

4720
01:17:39,426 --> 01:17:39,925
the

4721
01:17:39,925 --> 01:17:40,427
idea is over

4722
01:17:40,427 --> 01:17:42,427
the

4723
01:17:42,529 --> 01:17:43,128
course, we

4724
01:17:43,128 --> 01:17:44,300
will

4725
01:17:44,300 --> 01:17:44,831
also exercise

4726
01:17:44,831 --> 01:17:46,266
the option here. Um, we've

4727
01:17:46,266 --> 01:17:47,330
got

4728
01:17:47,330 --> 01:17:47,300
some details to work out with

4729
01:17:47,300 --> 01:17:48,935
the

4730
01:17:48,935 --> 01:17:49,369
Heller family

4731
01:17:49,369 --> 01:17:49,603
, uh, in terms

4732
01:17:49,603 --> 01:17:50,837
of

4733
01:17:50,837 --> 01:17:51,104
a

4734
01:17:51,104 --> 01:17:51,438
few

4735
01:17:51,438 --> 01:17:53,600
trailing

4736
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:53,507
issues

4737
01:17:53,507 --> 01:17:54,141
, uh,

4738
01:17:54,141 --> 01:17:55,475
price adjustment based

4739
01:17:55,475 --> 01:17:55,942
on their

4740
01:17:55,942 --> 01:17:56,510
sale of the

4741
01:17:56,510 --> 01:17:58,111
Gilo property, for

4742
01:17:58,111 --> 01:17:59,946
one thing

4743
01:17:59,946 --> 01:18:00,447
, um, and they

4744
01:18:00,447 --> 01:18:00,747
acceptance of

4745
01:18:00,747 --> 01:18:02,480
their

4746
01:18:02,480 --> 01:18:02,716
survey map

4747
01:18:02,716 --> 01:18:03,350
and the partition of the

4748
01:18:03,350 --> 01:18:04,510
property into the parcels

4749
01:18:04,510 --> 01:18:04,351
we

4750
01:18:04,351 --> 01:18:05,180
need

4751
01:18:05,180 --> 01:18:06,853
. Uh

4752
01:18:06,853 --> 01:18:07,454
, so the plan is over

4753
01:18:07,454 --> 01:18:08,622
the next two months

4754
01:18:08,622 --> 01:18:08,888
to

4755
01:18:08,888 --> 01:18:09,423
move

4756
01:18:09,423 --> 01:18:09,656
towards closing

4757
01:18:09,656 --> 01:18:10,958
and

4758
01:18:10,958 --> 01:18:11,157
to

4759
01:18:11,157 --> 01:18:11,725
close by

4760
01:18:11,725 --> 01:18:13,961
the end of OCTOBER

4761
01:18:13,961 --> 01:18:14,261
. We'll see

4762
01:18:14,261 --> 01:18:15,796
if we

4763
01:18:15,796 --> 01:18:16,263
get

4764
01:18:16,263 --> 01:18:16,729
there that good shot

4765
01:18:16,729 --> 01:18:18,310
that we will

4766
01:18:18,310 --> 01:18:18,799
. It might drag out

4767
01:18:18,799 --> 01:18:19,767
a little bit longer than that

4768
01:18:19,767 --> 01:18:20,267
,

4769
01:18:20,267 --> 01:18:22,236
but hopefully not

4770
01:18:22,236 --> 01:18:22,736
. Um

4771
01:18:22,736 --> 01:18:23,203
, this

4772
01:18:23,203 --> 01:18:24,438
agreement that

4773
01:18:24,438 --> 01:18:24,905
you're

4774
01:18:24,905 --> 01:18:25,305
signing

4775
01:18:25,305 --> 01:18:27,600
today is a

4776
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:27,574
contingent agreement

4777
01:18:27,574 --> 01:18:28,420
You know, you've heard of

4778
01:18:28,420 --> 01:18:28,409
contingent sales when

4779
01:18:28,409 --> 01:18:29,243
somebody's

4780
01:18:29,243 --> 01:18:29,877
off by your house,

4781
01:18:29,877 --> 01:18:31,412
if I can sell my house

4782
01:18:31,412 --> 01:18:32,313
over

4783
01:18:32,313 --> 01:18:33,814
here, it's contingent in that

4784
01:18:33,814 --> 01:18:34,215
same way, which is

4785
01:18:34,215 --> 01:18:34,581
that there's

4786
01:18:34,581 --> 01:18:36,150
no

4787
01:18:36,150 --> 01:18:36,750
obligations here unless we

4788
01:18:36,750 --> 01:18:37,952
close with Haller

4789
01:18:37,952 --> 01:18:38,185
. Like

4790
01:18:38,185 --> 01:18:38,419
we

4791
01:18:38,419 --> 01:18:39,850
can,

4792
01:18:39,850 --> 01:18:39,320
if we don't have any property

4793
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:40,287
to

4794
01:18:40,287 --> 01:18:40,754
sell

4795
01:18:40,754 --> 01:18:41,355
them, we can't sell

4796
01:18:41,355 --> 01:18:42,690
them the property and

4797
01:18:42,690 --> 01:18:43,457
that's

4798
01:18:43,457 --> 01:18:44,492
reflected in the agreement. Uh

4799
01:18:44,492 --> 01:18:45,192
,

4800
01:18:45,192 --> 01:18:45,760
one of the issues that you are

4801
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,261
aware of that we

4802
01:18:47,261 --> 01:18:47,927
were working

4803
01:18:47,927 --> 01:18:49,329
through at some length

4804
01:18:49,329 --> 01:18:49,864
. Over

4805
01:18:49,864 --> 01:18:51,699
the past

4806
01:18:51,699 --> 01:18:52,233
couple of

4807
01:18:52,233 --> 01:18:52,533
weeks anyway

4808
01:18:52,533 --> 01:18:53,701
was

4809
01:18:53,701 --> 01:18:55,701
, um

4810
01:18:56,570 --> 01:18:56,871
, And by the way, that's

4811
01:18:56,871 --> 01:18:58,673
a

4812
01:18:58,673 --> 01:18:59,240
paragraph 15 that makes it

4813
01:18:59,240 --> 01:18:59,640
contingent that I just

4814
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:00,641
mentioned

4815
01:19:00,641 --> 01:19:01,442
, but um

4816
01:19:01,442 --> 01:19:02,810
, It

4817
01:19:02,810 --> 01:19:03,100
was

4818
01:19:03,100 --> 01:19:03,277
a

4819
01:19:03,277 --> 01:19:03,811
the

4820
01:19:03,811 --> 01:19:05,513
question of

4821
01:19:05,513 --> 01:19:06,147
dispute resolution

4822
01:19:06,147 --> 01:19:07,381
under these agreements

4823
01:19:07,381 --> 01:19:08,150
, and

4824
01:19:08,150 --> 01:19:08,415
it's, you know, it's just one

4825
01:19:08,415 --> 01:19:09,684
of, there's

4826
01:19:09,684 --> 01:19:10,351
, there's many

4827
01:19:10,351 --> 01:19:10,651
things that we needed to work

4828
01:19:10,651 --> 01:19:11,853
out

4829
01:19:11,853 --> 01:19:12,320
, many

4830
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:13,200
subquestions, I guess

4831
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:14,255
you might say, and this

4832
01:19:14,255 --> 01:19:14,555
. And

4833
01:19:14,555 --> 01:19:15,123
,

4834
01:19:15,123 --> 01:19:16,324
uh, you know, the

4835
01:19:16,324 --> 01:19:16,624
tribe likes

4836
01:19:16,624 --> 01:19:17,580
to

4837
01:19:17,580 --> 01:19:18,826
have

4838
01:19:18,826 --> 01:19:19,930
disputes with land

4839
01:19:19,930 --> 01:19:19,726
they

4840
01:19:19,726 --> 01:19:20,862
own resolved in tribal

4841
01:19:20,862 --> 01:19:21,429
court

4842
01:19:21,429 --> 01:19:23,398
under tribal law

4843
01:19:23,398 --> 01:19:23,898
. And of course

4844
01:19:23,898 --> 01:19:25,433
we like to have

4845
01:19:25,433 --> 01:19:25,700
them

4846
01:19:25,700 --> 01:19:26,301
resolved

4847
01:19:26,301 --> 01:19:27,367
under Washington law

4848
01:19:27,367 --> 01:19:27,902
in

4849
01:19:27,902 --> 01:19:28,303
Washington courts

4850
01:19:28,303 --> 01:19:29,704
. Um

4851
01:19:29,704 --> 01:19:30,638
, and so

4852
01:19:30,638 --> 01:19:31,973
we were able to bridge that

4853
01:19:31,973 --> 01:19:32,640
by

4854
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,242
agreeing that if there are

4855
01:19:34,242 --> 01:19:34,976
any

4856
01:19:34,976 --> 01:19:37,450
disputes that we will

4857
01:19:37,450 --> 01:19:37,712
uh

4858
01:19:37,712 --> 01:19:38,130
resolve them We don't plan on

4859
01:19:38,130 --> 01:19:39,810
there

4860
01:19:39,810 --> 01:19:39,748
being any disputes, by

4861
01:19:39,748 --> 01:19:41,182
the way, just to be clear

4862
01:19:41,182 --> 01:19:41,983
, but

4863
01:19:41,983 --> 01:19:43,318
11 always needs to

4864
01:19:43,318 --> 01:19:44,119
, um, plan

4865
01:19:44,119 --> 01:19:44,486
for contingencies, and that's

4866
01:19:44,486 --> 01:19:45,987
why we

4867
01:19:45,987 --> 01:19:46,221
have agreements

4868
01:19:46,221 --> 01:19:46,487
, um, but

4869
01:19:46,487 --> 01:19:48,487
uh

4870
01:19:48,857 --> 01:19:50,580
. Under federal law

4871
01:19:50,580 --> 01:19:50,325
, under

4872
01:19:50,325 --> 01:19:50,892
the

4873
01:19:50,892 --> 01:19:52,127
Federal arbitration

4874
01:19:52,127 --> 01:19:52,394
Act

4875
01:19:52,394 --> 01:19:53,280
with

4876
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:53,361
any

4877
01:19:53,361 --> 01:19:54,429
disputes

4878
01:19:54,429 --> 01:19:55,300
enforceable

4879
01:19:55,300 --> 01:19:55,330
in federal district

4880
01:19:55,330 --> 01:19:55,630

4881
01:19:55,630 --> 01:19:56,831
course

4882
01:19:56,831 --> 01:19:57,465
, the

4883
01:19:57,465 --> 01:19:59,567
tribe is subject to

4884
01:19:59,567 --> 01:20:00,350
federal law, and so we were

4885
01:20:00,350 --> 01:20:01,403
able to bridge

4886
01:20:01,403 --> 01:20:01,870
that gap uh with

4887
01:20:01,870 --> 01:20:02,304
that approach

4888
01:20:02,304 --> 01:20:04,304
. Um

4889
01:20:04,373 --> 01:20:04,639
, Are there

4890
01:20:04,639 --> 01:20:06,108

4891
01:20:06,108 --> 01:20:06,541

? Mr

public clarification, you were

4896
01:20:13,150 --> 01:20:13,648
talking about the, the way that

4897
01:20:13,648 --> 01:20:14,950
the property would be

4898
01:20:14,950 --> 01:20:15,350
sectioned

4899
01:20:15,350 --> 01:20:15,684

organizations, tribe

4903
01:20:19,788 --> 01:20:20,355
, um, when

4904
01:20:20,355 --> 01:20:21,689
we get to the

4905
01:20:21,689 --> 01:20:22,157

the

4908
01:20:22,758 --> 01:20:24,590
farmland that

4909
01:20:24,590 --> 01:20:24,660
is left, that

4910
01:20:24,660 --> 01:20:25,160
we're going to put a legacy

4911
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:26,610
easement on and

4912
01:20:26,610 --> 01:20:26,728

talk about the

4917
01:20:29,131 --> 01:20:29,631
rough timeline

4918
01:20:29,631 --> 01:20:30,766
that you expect

4919
01:20:30,766 --> 01:20:31,100
for

4920
01:20:31,100 --> 01:20:31,533
that? Yeah,

4921
01:20:31,533 --> 01:20:33,350
I mean, as

4922
01:20:33,350 --> 01:20:33,635
quickly as possible,

4923
01:20:33,635 --> 01:20:33,969
uh, you know, there'll be,

4924
01:20:33,969 --> 01:20:35,169
we'll

4925
01:20:35,169 --> 01:20:35,671
, we'll

4926
01:20:35,671 --> 01:20:36,170
need to put a

4927
01:20:36,170 --> 01:20:37,239
farmland legacy

4928
01:20:37,239 --> 01:20:37,740
. On

4929
01:20:37,740 --> 01:20:38,440
it and then

4930
01:20:38,440 --> 01:20:39,575
surplus the property. It has

4931
01:20:39,575 --> 01:20:39,942
to

4932
01:20:39,942 --> 01:20:40,442
be sold

4933
01:20:40,442 --> 01:20:42,440
. Um

4934
01:20:42,440 --> 01:20:42,378
, at

4935
01:20:42,378 --> 01:20:42,778
auction

4936
01:20:42,778 --> 01:20:44,246
effectively

4937
01:20:44,246 --> 01:20:44,480
. It's

4938
01:20:44,480 --> 01:20:44,637
by

4939
01:20:44,637 --> 01:20:45,147
law

4940
01:20:45,147 --> 01:20:46,415
required to sell

4941
01:20:46,415 --> 01:20:46,749
to the highest

4942
01:20:46,749 --> 01:20:47,480
bidder

4943
01:20:47,480 --> 01:20:49,480
. Um

4944
01:20:49,185 --> 01:20:49,685
, You know

4945
01:20:49,685 --> 01:20:51,685
, I think

4946
01:20:51,854 --> 01:20:52,555
,

4947
01:20:52,555 --> 01:20:52,955
uh, uh, you know, we, we, we

4948
01:20:52,955 --> 01:20:53,455
,

4949
01:20:53,455 --> 01:20:53,856
we can have

4950
01:20:53,856 --> 01:20:54,423
a discussion as to

4951
01:20:54,423 --> 01:20:55,624
where we want to

4952
01:20:55,624 --> 01:20:55,925
put that

4953
01:20:55,925 --> 01:20:56,225
price

4954
01:20:56,225 --> 01:20:57,860
point

4955
01:20:57,860 --> 01:20:58,694
. Obviously we're looking

4956
01:20:58,694 --> 01:21:00,596
to recapture the money we have

4957
01:21:00,596 --> 01:21:00,763
into this, uh, and, and

4958
01:21:00,763 --> 01:21:01,163
that's

4959
01:21:01,163 --> 01:21:02,231
the point

4960
01:21:02,231 --> 01:21:02,565
. I

4961
01:21:02,565 --> 01:21:02,999
think that the

4962
01:21:02,999 --> 01:21:04,266
public needs

4963
01:21:04,266 --> 01:21:04,734
to

4964
01:21:04,734 --> 01:21:05,334
understand is

4965
01:21:05,334 --> 01:21:05,735
there's a lot of paperwork

4966
01:21:05,735 --> 01:21:07,302
going on

4967
01:21:07,302 --> 01:21:07,670
, a lot

4968
01:21:07,670 --> 01:21:07,937
of

4969
01:21:07,937 --> 01:21:08,270
agreements,

4970
01:21:08,270 --> 01:21:09,338
a lot

4971
01:21:09,338 --> 01:21:09,639
of complexities, but

4972
01:21:09,639 --> 01:21:09,939
the

4973
01:21:09,939 --> 01:21:11,730
basic

4974
01:21:11,730 --> 01:21:11,741
thing

4975
01:21:11,741 --> 01:21:12,174
here is the

4976
01:21:12,174 --> 01:21:13,643
county's role

4977
01:21:13,643 --> 01:21:14,477
in this, is to,

4978
01:21:14,477 --> 01:21:15,945
to, to fill a real need

4979
01:21:15,945 --> 01:21:16,312
and

4980
01:21:16,312 --> 01:21:16,646
facilitate

4981
01:21:16,646 --> 01:21:18,246
. Uh

4982
01:21:18,246 --> 01:21:18,648
, the ability to

4983
01:21:18,648 --> 01:21:19,470
move these

4984
01:21:19,470 --> 01:21:20,182
big projects

4985
01:21:20,182 --> 01:21:20,649
forward

4986
01:21:20,649 --> 01:21:20,950
on the delta

4987
01:21:20,950 --> 01:21:22,351
that

4988
01:21:22,351 --> 01:21:22,985
involve

4989
01:21:22,985 --> 01:21:23,352
tribal interests agency

4990
01:21:23,352 --> 01:21:25,870

4991
01:21:25,870 --> 01:21:25,487
, farming interests,

4992

dike and

4993
01:21:25,855 --> 01:21:26,989
drainage

4994
01:21:26,989 --> 01:21:27,457
district

4995
01:21:27,457 --> 01:21:28,900
interests. It

4996
01:21:28,900 --> 01:21:29,580
really, you know

4997
01:21:29,580 --> 01:21:29,291
,

4998
01:21:29,291 --> 01:21:29,992
it

4999
01:21:29,992 --> 01:21:30,226
really is, it's tough to see

5000
01:21:30,226 --> 01:21:31,561
it

5001
01:21:31,561 --> 01:21:31,828
working without

5002
01:21:31,828 --> 01:21:32,495
county

5003
01:21:32,495 --> 01:21:33,863
leadership and exercise of

5004
01:21:33,863 --> 01:21:34,329
our

5005
01:21:34,329 --> 01:21:34,664
regulatory and

5006
01:21:34,664 --> 01:21:35,640
other

5007
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:36,198
authorities

5008
01:21:36,198 --> 01:21:36,899
to help bring this

5009
01:21:36,899 --> 01:21:38,134
together, but at the end of

5010
01:21:38,134 --> 01:21:38,868
the

5011
01:21:38,868 --> 01:21:39,435
day, the goal here is that

5012
01:21:39,435 --> 01:21:40,369
we're no money out

5013
01:21:40,369 --> 01:21:40,528
of

5014
01:21:40,528 --> 01:21:41,404
the

5015
01:21:41,404 --> 01:21:43,390
pocket for the people. In fact

5016
01:21:43,390 --> 01:21:43,840
,

5017
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:45,307
it's possible, you know, we'll

5018
01:21:45,307 --> 01:21:45,942
even make a little on this. I

5019
01:21:45,942 --> 01:21:46,442
don't know. That's not really

5020
01:21:46,442 --> 01:21:47,609
the goal, but

5021
01:21:47,609 --> 01:21:48,100
But we will sell

5022
01:21:48,100 --> 01:21:49,546
it to the

5023
01:21:49,546 --> 01:21:49,746
highest bidder

5024
01:21:49,746 --> 01:21:50,580
, so

5025
01:21:50,580 --> 01:21:52,182
great, you covered the points I

5026
01:21:52,182 --> 01:21:52,815
I wanted you to, so I

5027
01:21:52,815 --> 01:21:53,950
appreciate that. And

5028
01:21:53,950 --> 01:21:54,584
I also

5029
01:21:54,584 --> 01:21:55,251
appreciate all the work you put

5030
01:21:55,251 --> 01:21:56,190
in on this. I know we've

5031
01:21:56,190 --> 01:21:56,753
all

5032
01:21:56,753 --> 01:21:57,200
had a lot of calls and

5033
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:57,354
, uh,

5034
01:21:57,354 --> 01:21:58,722
meetings

5035
01:21:58,722 --> 01:21:59,289
and trying to work

5036
01:21:59,289 --> 01:21:59,689
through this and the, the

5037
01:21:59,689 --> 01:22:00,724
differences

5038
01:22:00,724 --> 01:22:01,910
along

5039
01:22:01,910 --> 01:22:01,658
the way. I

5040
01:22:01,658 --> 01:22:02,993
went out and toured

5041
01:22:02,993 --> 01:22:03,360
the

5042
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:04,126
property

5043
01:22:04,126 --> 01:22:05,362
, um, at one point

5044
01:22:05,362 --> 01:22:05,595
, so

5045
01:22:05,595 --> 01:22:06,229
,

5046
01:22:06,229 --> 01:22:06,596
um, thank you for all the work

5047
01:22:06,596 --> 01:22:07,697
that you

5048
01:22:07,697 --> 01:22:07,864
put into it. I

5049
01:22:07,864 --> 01:22:08,565
do

5050
01:22:08,565 --> 01:22:09,566
appreciate it and I'm glad

5051
01:22:09,566 --> 01:22:10,233
that

5052
01:22:10,233 --> 01:22:10,533
we are reaching a point where

5053
01:22:10,533 --> 01:22:12,202
we can

5054
01:22:12,202 --> 01:22:12,636
move forward. That's all

5055
01:22:12,636 --> 01:22:13,336
I have

5056
01:22:13,336 --> 01:22:14,400
. Commissioner Browning

5057
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:14,471
,

5058
01:22:14,471 --> 01:22:15,500

near legendary

5065
01:22:19,676 --> 01:22:20,777
tenacity on this. This has

5066
01:22:20,777 --> 01:22:21,478
not

5067
01:22:21,478 --> 01:22:21,912
been something that's happened

5068
01:22:21,912 --> 01:22:23,280
quickly, and

5069
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:23,914
you had to keep

5070
01:22:23,914 --> 01:22:25,248
your foot on it all the

5071
01:22:25,248 --> 01:22:25,983
time,

5072
01:22:25,983 --> 01:22:26,183
and thank you for that, and

5073
01:22:26,183 --> 01:22:26,416
I

5074
01:22:26,416 --> 01:22:27,850
do

5075
01:22:27,850 --> 01:22:28,485
trust that with a little

5076
01:22:28,485 --> 01:22:29,520
help perhaps from the Upper

5077
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:29,987
Sketcheon and others

5078
01:22:29,987 --> 01:22:30,887
, we will

5079
01:22:30,887 --> 01:22:32,889
at least come out of this hole

5080
01:22:32,889 --> 01:22:34,191
and I'm sure that will happen

5081
01:22:34,191 --> 01:22:34,625
,

5082
01:22:34,625 --> 01:22:36,625
so perfect job

5083
01:22:36,827 --> 01:22:37,227
. We've got a

5084
01:22:37,227 --> 01:22:37,961
real, a

5085
01:22:37,961 --> 01:22:39,463
real responsive

5086
01:22:39,463 --> 01:22:39,963
, uh,

5087
01:22:39,963 --> 01:22:41,432
estuary project

5088
01:22:41,432 --> 01:22:42,320
, one that we

5089
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:42,399
have not had for a while. This

5090
01:22:42,399 --> 01:22:43,634
is good

5091
01:22:43,634 --> 01:22:43,966
. Well, there's a

5092
01:22:43,966 --> 01:22:44,701
and

5093
01:22:44,701 --> 01:22:45,703
there still. I don't want to

5094
01:22:45,703 --> 01:22:46,103
.

5095
01:22:46,103 --> 01:22:46,670
You know

5096
01:22:46,670 --> 01:22:47,400
, oversell where we are

5097
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:48,105
but I

5098
01:22:48,105 --> 01:22:48,572
do think that coming

5099
01:22:48,572 --> 01:22:48,972
together with

5100
01:22:48,972 --> 01:22:50,675
Swinomish, I

5101
01:22:50,675 --> 01:22:51,275
think our community should

5102
01:22:51,275 --> 01:22:52,376
appreciate what a big

5103
01:22:52,376 --> 01:22:53,430
deal that

5104
01:22:53,430 --> 01:22:53,577
is. No, I'm very grateful

5105
01:22:53,577 --> 01:22:54,878
They've been very

5106
01:22:54,878 --> 01:22:55,512
, very good in

5107
01:22:55,512 --> 01:22:55,879
this whole process. It's

5108
01:22:55,879 --> 01:22:56,981
fantastic

5109
01:22:56,981 --> 01:22:57,214
for them

5110
01:22:57,214 --> 01:22:57,881
. So

5111
01:22:57,881 --> 01:22:59,881
. Good

5112
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:00,484
.

5113
01:23:00,484 --> 01:23:01,500
Yeah, I

5114
01:23:01,500 --> 01:23:01,952
also like to thank you,

5115
01:23:01,952 --> 01:23:02,419
Will, for all the work on this.

5116

Uh, I remember

5117
01:23:03,721 --> 01:23:03,988
a phone call I

5118
01:23:03,988 --> 01:23:05,988
got

5119
01:23:06,323 --> 01:23:06,657
. Almost 2.5, 3

5120
01:23:06,657 --> 01:23:06,817
years

5121
01:23:06,817 --> 01:23:07,570
ago

5122
01:23:07,570 --> 01:23:08,559
when

5123
01:23:08,559 --> 01:23:09,160
he said this property was

5124
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:09,460
listed, so the broker had

5125
01:23:09,460 --> 01:23:10,694
listed

5126
01:23:10,694 --> 01:23:11,128
the

5127
01:23:11,128 --> 01:23:11,285
whole property

5128
01:23:11,285 --> 01:23:11,762
and

5129
01:23:11,762 --> 01:23:12,797
so that's when

5130
01:23:12,797 --> 01:23:13,364
we started

5131
01:23:13,364 --> 01:23:13,731
thinking about what are the

5132
01:23:13,731 --> 01:23:15,990
options

5133
01:23:15,990 --> 01:23:15,932
available and you did a

5134
01:23:15,932 --> 01:23:17,635
lot of work and we really

5135
01:23:17,635 --> 01:23:18,303
appreciate the Sumish tribe

5136
01:23:18,303 --> 01:23:19,637
coming together on this

5137
01:23:19,637 --> 01:23:19,937
, and I

5138
01:23:19,937 --> 01:23:20,271

5145
01:23:26,510 --> 01:23:26,810
, um, it's a big

5146
01:23:26,810 --> 01:23:27,511
deal and

5147
01:23:27,511 --> 01:23:28,546
part of it is I want to

5148
01:23:28,546 --> 01:23:29,146

5149
01:23:29,146 --> 01:23:30,982

01:23:31,716 --> 01:23:33,384
