I've been 661 00:23:52,833 --> 00:23:54,835 a proud resident of payson 662 00:23:54,835 --> 00:23:55,836 for two years, so not very long. I 663 00:23:55,836 --> 00:23:57,838 also want to thank you for 664 00:23:57,838 --> 00:23:58,839 the opportunity to vote on the bond 665 00:23:58,839 --> 00:24:00,839 for the 666 00:24:00,841 --> 00:24:01,842 pool bond. It was the right choice 667 00:24:01,842 --> 00:24:03,844 to let the people 668 00:24:03,844 --> 00:24:04,811 choose, and tonight I want to urge 669 00:24:04,811 --> 00:24:06,811 everyone in our 670 00:24:07,814 --> 00:24:09,816 community to vote yes on it because 671 00:24:09,816 --> 00:24:10,817 the bond is not just about building 672 00:24:10,817 --> 00:24:13,820 a pool at the malibu site. It's 673 00:24:13,820 --> 00:24:14,821 about making a smart, future 674 00:24:14,821 --> 00:24:16,823 ready investment in our town's health, 675 00:24:16,823 --> 00:24:18,823 recreation, and 676 00:24:19,826 --> 00:24:21,828 infrastructure. A yes vote 677 00:24:21,828 --> 00:24:22,829 means we move forward with the funded, 678 00:24:22,829 --> 00:24:24,829 shovel 679 00:24:25,832 --> 00:24:28,836 ready plan. A no vote halts construction 680 00:24:28,836 --> 00:24:31,836 and leaves payson without a 681 00:24:31,839 --> 00:24:32,840 public pool. Some residents are advocating 682 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,840 for a renovation 683 00:24:34,842 --> 00:24:36,842 of taylor 684 00:24:36,844 --> 00:24:37,811 pool instead but let's be clear, a no 685 00:24:37,811 --> 00:24:39,811 vote does not 686 00:24:43,817 --> 00:24:44,818 guarantee taylor pool will be rebuilt. 687 00:24:44,818 --> 00:24:45,819 in fact it 688 00:24:45,819 --> 00:24:46,820 makes the outcome far less likely. 689 00:24:46,820 --> 00:24:47,821 here's why. Funding. Taylor's renovation would 690 00:24:47,821 --> 00:24:49,821 rely 691 00:24:49,823 --> 00:24:52,823 on the general fund, not 692 00:24:52,826 --> 00:24:54,826 a bond 693 00:24:54,828 --> 00:24:55,829 . While some claim it would cost $5 694 00:24:55,829 --> 00:24:57,831 million, the council's own commission 695 00:24:57,831 --> 00:24:58,832 study estimated $11 million for an 696 00:24:58,832 --> 00:24:59,833 uncovered pool, well beyond what the general 697 00:24:59,833 --> 00:25:01,833 fund can 698 00:25:03,837 --> 00:25:05,839 support. Code compliance. A separate 699 00:25:05,839 --> 00:25:07,839 $20,000 evaluation revealed 700 00:25:08,842 --> 00:25:10,842 additional 701 00:25:11,812 --> 00:25:12,813 costs to bring taylor up to 702 00:25:12,813 --> 00:25:14,815 2025 standards. These would be substantial 703 00:25:14,815 --> 00:25:16,815 and unavoidable. The 704 00:25:17,818 --> 00:25:20,821 cover cost. If a cover is 705 00:25:20,821 --> 00:25:21,822 added 706 00:25:21,822 --> 00:25:23,824 later, taylor's would cost $200,000 707 00:25:23,824 --> 00:25:26,224 more than malibu's. A 708 00:25:26,827 --> 00:25:27,828 covered taylor pool would 709 00:25:27,828 --> 00:25:29,830 be a total of about $14.2 million 710 00:25:29,830 --> 00:25:32,830 and still require a bond. 711 00:25:32,833 --> 00:25:35,833 the timeline. Malibu is ready 712 00:25:35,836 --> 00:25:37,836 to go 713 00:25:37,838 --> 00:25:39,840 . If the bond fails, taylor's process 714 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,841 must start from scratch, likely triggering 715 00:25:40,841 --> 00:25:41,842 another bond election and years of 716 00:25:41,842 --> 00:25:43,842 delays. Future 717 00:25:44,811 --> 00:25:47,811 growth. Malibu offers space for 718 00:25:49,816 --> 00:25:50,817 future athletic center, basketball 719 00:25:50,817 --> 00:25:51,818 courts, multi-sports 720 00:25:51,818 --> 00:25:53,820 facilities and attic parking. Taylor 721 00:25:53,820 --> 00:25:55,820 does not. 722 00:25:56,823 --> 00:25:58,825 in fact, taylor's parking 723 00:25:58,825 --> 00:25:59,826 limitations may require satellite lots just 724 00:25:59,826 --> 00:26:01,826 to 725 00:26:05,832 --> 00:26:07,832 meet code 726 00:26:07,835 --> 00:26:08,836 . In short, taylor is not a viable 727 00:26:08,836 --> 00:26:09,837 alternative. It's a costly, complicated 728 00:26:09,837 --> 00:26:10,838 path with no clear funding and no 729 00:26:10,838 --> 00:26:11,839 guarantee of success. Voting no doesn't 730 00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:13,839 bring back 731 00:26:14,842 --> 00:26:16,842 taylor pool. 732 00:26:16,844 --> 00:26:17,811 voting no means payson has no pool. 733 00:26:17,811 --> 00:26:19,811 I hope that 734 00:26:20,814 --> 00:26:21,815 we choose progress.
