What happens to the money 23 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:35,640 you don't spend? 24 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,759 » It rolls over. >> Rolls over where? 25 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,040 » Well, we >> to the next year. 26 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,280 » Yeah. >> Yeah. 27 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,799 » Where? >> To the next year. 28 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:55,200 So this will be the third year you doing the rec center. 29 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,960 9 million times three 27 million. >> No no it doesn't work that way. It's 30 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,920 just a carryover. >> Yeah. 31 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:07,040 » It's it's a carryover in case we in case the council is put in a position to 32 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,680 spend it. It doesn't multiply. >> It's just a carryover. 33 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:21,599 I don't understand. I guess >> so. For example, at the end of the year, 34 00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:25,280 we're going to have money in reserves. We budget to spend the entire budget 35 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:26,640 every year. >> Yeah. 36 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:29,840 » Right. >> Right. 37 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:34,720 » But that doesn't compound like the rec center dollars because the rec center 38 00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:43,640 dollars aren't there yet. But we could spend $9 million if the Rex $100 show up 39 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,640 depending on the council's approval 40 00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:55,920 » of this 38 million. 9 million you got set aside for the rec center. 41 00:02:52,080 --> 00:03:00,720 » Correct. For potential expenditure. >> Yeah. So if it comes to fruit, you're 42 00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,080 going to have the 9 million. No, it still has to be approved by the city 43 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,440 council and the fun the the funding has to show up. 44 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:13,440 » What do you mean show up? >> Whether the the taxpayers vote to to 45 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:18,640 fund it or and the council approves it or somebody like you makes a $9 million 46 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:22,239 donation and we build the rec center and that still is subject to council 47 00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,159 approval. >> Yeah, I'm assuming the council's going 48 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,120 to approve it. >> I don't know if I make that assumption. 49 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,280 Yeah. >> Well, yeah, that's pretty obvious. It's 50 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:36,560 been on the >> I mean, it's just like me making that 51 00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:40,560 assumption I just made of you donate $9 million for the rec center. 52 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,799 » Why does it keep showing up on the budget then if you don't think it's 53 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,799 going to happen? >> Because until it's dead in the water, we 54 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:49,920 can't spend it, >> right? 55 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:56,720 » Just in case the cash comes in, donation comes in or it's funded somehow, then it 56 00:03:53,599 --> 00:04:03,040 can be spent. We don't actually have the $9 million in cash. We have to budget to 57 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:07,760 spend it just in case it comes in and just in case it's improved. 58 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,560 » So, our taxes haven't been going up to cover this 9 million? 59 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:16,439 » No, not at all. In fact, your taxes are going down again this year%. 60 00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:25,759 » And Okay. So, if that 9 million is there, 61 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:29,520 » your budget could be 9 million less. No, because you have to project to the 62 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,919 state what you could potentially spend for the next year. 63 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:39,759 We have to tell the state what could potentially be spent for the city of 64 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:44,320 West Point in the 2627 budget year. It's a projection. 65 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:52,479 » Where does the city get its money? Part of it is from taxes and part of it 66 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:57,919 is from the um enterprise funds such as water, sewer, and electric. And some of 67 00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,520 it is uh the the Department of Roads funds um 68 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,840 » city sales tax, >> city sales tax, 69 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:11,840 » not 38 million. out of that 38 million 70 00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:17,680 uh 1.3 of it is is top tax. >> The taxation Gary is 1.31 71 00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:21,840 $1,371,900 is what the taxation is. 72 00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:27,120 » So you're coming up with 37 million roughly from other 73 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,960 » well we don't I mean just we we're not actually because we don't have the 9 74 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:37,759 million. So you can already back that off to 27 because the 9 million is not 75 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,120 We don't have So >> So you don't have any money? 76 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,080 » What you're saying? >> That's 29. 77 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,560 » You don't you don't have any of the 38 million? 78 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:53,440 » Yeah, we do. We do. >> Over over the next year, you're going to 79 00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:55,680 acrew sales tax revenues. Okay. Because we have a sales tax in place. 80 00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:00,479 » Yeah. >> And we have Nel 40 in place. All those 81 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:05,280 revenues have to be accounted for based on projections over the next year to 82 00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:09,199 expend those dollars. If you don't project it, you can't spend it. 83 00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:13,600 » But if you don't take it in, you can't spend it either, right? 84 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,759 » But the but that is still something we will take in. That's the difference 85 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,039 between the 27 million that Shay was talking about 86 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,039 » 29 >> or 29 million because we're going to 87 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:28,639 take in a certain amount of sales tax revenue that we on the on the one and a 88 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:35,440 half cent plus we take in the other half a cent for the pool pond plus we have 89 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:39,120 the debt service for the um levy project. 90 00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:43,680 It's a culmination of a bunch of different things. It's not just one 91 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:47,680 single thing. All right. I'm just confused where you 92 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:52,479 get the money cuz I don't pay any taxes to the city. I 93 00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:57,919 pay to the county. You get your money from the county. 94 00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:01,759 » No, we get nothing from the county. >> Well, I don't send my property taxes to 95 00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:03,520 the city. I go up to the corner. >> Right. 96 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,280 » Yeah. You don't. >> That's the county. 97 00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:10,000 » So, how do you get it? >> Do you live You live in the city of West 98 00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,560 Point, correct? >> Yeah. 99 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,960 » Okay. When you look at your breakdown sheet, you've got line items. A portion 100 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,720 of it goes to the schools, >> a portion of it goes to the county, a 101 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:25,440 portion of it goes to the city, a portion of it goes to Royal Fire Board, 102 00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:30,479 » a portion goes to the egg society. It's it's a culmination of all of those 103 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:37,120 things, and then the county gives us our small piece of that, that share of that 104 00:07:33,919 --> 00:07:40,800 that they collect. >> That's what I'm saying. You get your 105 00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:42,960 money from the county. It's just a password. 106 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:45,199 » That's just a password. >> That's all it is. 107 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,759 » It's just a password. >> Well, yeah. I write them a check. They 108 00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:48,960 write you a check. >> Yeah. 109 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,599 » Okay. >> But that's all it is. 110 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:53,520 » But are they going to write you a check for the 38 million? 111 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,280 » No. >> No. 112 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,440 » No. They're going to write me a check for 1.3 113 00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:02,639 » 1.3 million because that's based on valuation. 114 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,479 » And then you're going to get the other 36 million where? 115 00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:10,080 » Well, you take the $9 million off because we don't have that money because 116 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:15,360 that project hasn't been allocated. and the funds haven't been put in place, 117 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:20,080 right? Okay. So, now you've got your sales tax revenues. 118 00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:27,240 Okay. That's the LV840. That's a scent and a half. That's the swimming pool 119 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,240 revenue. And then you have um 120 00:08:27,919 --> 00:08:36,320 » the enterprise funds. You know, you got your water, sewer, electric 121 00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:40,959 like for example, electric budget. Just electricity alone is almost $8 million a 122 00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:44,399 year. >> Yeah. And that's supposed to pay for 123 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:48,720 itself, right? I mean, we pay that separate. No, that's all that's all got 124 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:53,120 to be included in this budget. That's all got to be part of the budget. The 125 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:57,120 same way with the the sewer plant, the water, the collection system, 126 00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:01,279 distribution system, all has to be part of this budget. So, you're taking all 127 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,839 those enterprise funds, you're lumping them together and including them in this 128 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,839 budget also. 129 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,200 » Do you understand what I'm saying though? It's like, all right, let's 130 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:18,880 let's take let's take the electric budget for example. Just like I said, 131 00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:26,160 the city's electric bill that we pay every year is around $8 million. So, we 132 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:29,120 have to take in more than the $8 million to pay for that. 133 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,920 » Yeah. And that's what you charge us every month. 134 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,680 » Correct. Yes. >> So, why is that in your budget? 135 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,360 » That has to be in the budget. That has that's part of part of the 136 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,920 » money that's coming in. Yeah. Any bucket, money and money out of 137 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,800 your budget. >> Yes. It all has to be shown. It all has 138 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:50,720 to be shown on the budget. So it's just like water. When you when a well pumps 139 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:57,120 the water, it goes into the distribution system, goes through your meter. 140 00:09:53,279 --> 00:10:02,160 » That all has to be accounted for also. So if you got a water bill, a sewer 141 00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:05,480 bill, a garbage bill, that's all part of this budget. 142 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:12,880 » Okay. outside of the taxation outside >> outside of that 143 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,680 » outside of what you're asking for taxes, >> right? 144 00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:19,120 » Because we we've got it broke down literally in individual line items.

I'll be happy that I don't have to listen to this anymore 439 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:34,960 after this year. [clears throat] As you know, I will be 440 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:42,320 retiring in February of next year. And the rumors about us moving to quit 441 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:49,040 spreading those. So my wife said no. So county economic development has been 442 00:34:45,839 --> 00:34:56,879 a very good situation for me since 2020 and I appreciate everything West Point's 443 00:34:51,040 --> 00:35:01,440 done. for the uh community and CCD development. 444 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:06,480 I'm not going to go over one year. I'm going to go over everything since we 445 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:12,079 began, but I'm not going to take long. Uh the various programs 446 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:16,640 that funds brought into coming county from economic development 447 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:21,200 have developed many different things that have happened. 448 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:26,880 Uh we're very proud of is since I began as 449 00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:33,520 director, West Point has contributed $130,000 in 450 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:40,000 LBA4 funds towards annual operating budget. In addition, the city has 451 00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:43,920 provided $75,000 in rural workforce matching funds. 452 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:50,560 This represents an investment of about $200,000 $25,000 West Point from West 453 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:56,400 Point. 2020 CC program have utilized those 454 00:35:53,680 --> 00:36:01,920 funds and leverage additional resources to provide and or invest approximately 455 00:35:59,359 --> 00:36:09,119 $2.9 million into the West Point only. 456 00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:13,119 In addition, the city provided $75,000 sorry I'm tired of just got in 457 00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:20,400 yesterday. Uh, our owner occupied funds that we 458 00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:26,640 operate have done 55 projects since I've been here and started the program for a 459 00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:32,640 total of $1 million. Coming back into the community, this 460 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:38,079 number is not including the current 2025 owner occupied program. 461 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:43,440 Based on the figures, the city of West Point's investment has generated a 462 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:48,480 return of approximately $14 for every dollar 463 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:53,520 CC. I believe this demonstrates a very 464 00:36:50,400 --> 00:37:00,720 strong return of the city's investment in economic development. I'm proud of 465 00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:04,160 what CCD has accomplished since 2020. I believe the numbers demonstrate that the 466 00:37:03,095 --> 00:37:08,560 [clears throat] by the city of West Point and other communities have 467 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:15,200 produced a significant return for the community. 468 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:21,119 CCD was instrumental in uh developing the public transportation system to 469 00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:26,480 ride. In 2024, the total rides given was 355. 470 00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:35,839 In 2025, the number of rides given by tour ride nearly doubled at 7,100. 471 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:42,640 The total paid rides given so far from January to April was 5,000 rides. 472 00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:47,760 These are important numbers just for the paid rides. This is not including 473 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:54,480 caregiver rides. They are set and hit to about 8,000 474 00:37:51,200 --> 00:38:00,000 rides this year. So, it's been a very good program. 475 00:37:56,240 --> 00:38:06,960 I took it for the first time for vacation and joy ride. It was incredible 476 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:11,920 because pay $50 for my wife and I go there 477 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:15,440 and $50 back. We usually spend $150 because I don't like parking out in the 478 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,960 open. I want to park in the garage so that I don't have to walk through and 479 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:23,839 get back to my feet before winter even worse. So I believe this has been a 480 00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:30,160 great investment by all the communities and C County and Burke County. the 481 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:35,280 numbers broke down that C County gave 20,000 Burke County 20,000 West Point 482 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:41,920 2500 uh city of Dan 483 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:50,320 4,000 city of Oakland 2500 city of Wisner 2,000 city of Lions 2,000 484 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:58,240 village of Beamer 1500 bankro 1500 village of Decar 1500 and village of 485 00:38:53,599 --> 00:39:04,240 Craig 500 CCD also $5,000 for the last three years for the program. I believe 486 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:10,480 that that is one of the best programs CC has done because it's done so much for 487 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:13,920 all the community in the county and I appreciate everything everybody's done. 488 00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:17,359 But I'm going to tell you now, they're getting ready to figure out the budget 489 00:39:15,359 --> 00:39:20,800 for the next three years or yearly budget for the next three years. And 490 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:27,440 it's not going to be as cheap because the feds just dropped the programs 491 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:30,480 uh and increased the by the community and the state did the same thing and 492 00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:35,359 we're trying to figure out what to do. Now 493 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:39,200 the other thing we're also trying to do and I was talking to the driver and this 494 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:45,599 is kind of funny because I haven't hit Tyler or Brian enough about this. The 495 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:53,040 driver said that it's bad for some of the riders because they have blocks of 496 00:39:49,359 --> 00:39:58,880 rides booked for school kids and they're paying the same the other 497 00:39:55,599 --> 00:40:03,920 people and I said, "Well, I think we need to figure out what school is paying 498 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:11,440 or getting paying for those kids because from my past, 499 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:16,880 I used to do a lot of IEP uh mediation in schools 500 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:22,240 and they can paid quite a bit of money if it's a special needs child." And I 501 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:25,920 think we need to look at what I said yesterday and I should have kept my 502 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:30,000 mind. I whether if they're using it that much 503 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:34,880 and blocking off that much time. I understand your budget's going to grow 504 00:40:31,839 --> 00:40:39,280 and we're going to need to make a larger uh commitment to the community, but 505 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:45,440 we're also going to need to go to public schools that are using it and ask for a 506 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:49,920 lot more funds from them. The other thing that was talked about with the 507 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:54,160 drivers is that they're looking at expanding 508 00:40:51,599 --> 00:40:59,839 down into Dodge County, which I said if guys want them to pay 509 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:05,280 for it, I don't have a problem with it. So, there's a lot of things that can 510 00:41:02,319 --> 00:41:12,560 happen with Joy Ride. The other thing that somebody else told me was that they 511 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:18,960 have a problem with scheduling because after 4:00 there's nobody office. So if 512 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:24,319 you call the schedule after 4:00, you can't you can do it online. 513 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:29,920 But like yesterday we came in an hour late because of the airlines. Imagine 514 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:36,000 that. And I was trying to call there was nobody there. I tried to go online. I 515 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:40,319 couldn't reschedu online. And I was like, my wife goes, "What are you going 516 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:46,560 to do?" I said, "I'm calling somebody I know." But who's got that opportunity? 517 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:53,599 You know, if they're normal writer, they don't have the connections I have. But, 518 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:59,680 you know, I think there's some changes and I'm going to reach out to some 519 00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:04,319 people about trying to develop a program that is better for scheduling that other 520 00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:09,520 people are using and try trying to twerk it a little bit. So, we'll see what I 521 00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:14,319 can do.

We're obviously going to 587 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:59,640 bring in a deputy clerk in house to work with Debbie and I I think that'll be a 588 00:47:55,119 --> 00:47:59,640 good fit also. So 589 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:07,839 we fill that vacancy. We're still advertising for utility superintendent. 590 00:48:06,319 --> 00:48:12,160 We're still looking for qualified candidates.

So, 592 00:48:16,079 --> 00:48:24,839 we'll leave it out there for a while and see where it goes. 593 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,839 I think agree with this also. 594 00:48:24,958 --> 00:48:30,880 [clears throat] >> Okay.

That contract will be for $2,500 a month, $20 or 20 hours a month for six 604 00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:09,880 months and we'll see how it goes from there. 605 00:49:10,079 --> 00:49:16,520 We still have some logistics to work through to get all that in place, but 606 00:49:13,359 --> 00:49:16,520 that seems 607 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,440 » Yeah, no problem. 608 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:33,319 I personally would like to see them all under 609 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:39,319 interest. >> You don't have to 610 00:49:36,319 --> 00:49:39,319 » Well, 611 00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:47,359 yeah, >> we'll keep talking.

Cash votes. 618 00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:25,240 Okay, we got uh what do we want to do with the uh 619 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:38,559 » El the board of adjustments. I've done some research on on this 620 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:43,040 topic. I I went out and looked at LB289 that reflected on this and I guess 621 00:50:41,359 --> 00:50:47,920 there's three three points that that bill talked about. Number one, it 622 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:52,960 focused on villages, allowing the village to go from five to three 623 00:50:50,079 --> 00:50:58,800 members. It really focused heavily on a qualifying business that allowed larger 624 00:50:56,319 --> 00:51:04,240 retail businesses to be eligible for LBA40 funds. And then the third thing 625 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:09,359 was it allowed city councils to take over the board of 626 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:16,559 adjustment. I'm not convinced myself that this council is ready for that move 627 00:51:12,079 --> 00:51:20,880 tonight. Uh I'm not saying forever, but I you know, first off, we've got a great 628 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:28,079 board of adjustment. Those people are very talented. Uh they've been on on it 629 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:32,079 for a number of years. I've worked with a number of committees 630 00:51:29,599 --> 00:51:36,800 in my 40 years of working and I would have never turned a whole board over at 631 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:43,440 one time. And I think that's what we would be doing is taking a talented 632 00:51:39,359 --> 00:51:46,880 group and turning it over to in my case. >> Well, I'm a I'd be a rookie because I 633 00:51:45,599 --> 00:51:51,359 don't know the history of what they've done and I think we need to really think 634 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:54,880 through the process before we do that. That's just my thought and 635 00:51:52,559 --> 00:51:58,160 » I I agree with you. you talked about this and I think it's 636 00:51:56,079 --> 00:52:03,880 » and I think it's great to have multiple people in our communities involved 637 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,880 u 638 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:11,680 because the more people you have involved the more buy in and 639 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:14,240 I think it's just good >> yeah exactly 640 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:18,480 » and to that point Russ that that's exactly why this legislature to begin 641 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,960 with >> yeah people just weren't wanting to do 642 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,160 it anymore >> there will be a time where I think it 643 00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:28,400 does come back Right. >> Well, and and the other thing this 644 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:32,800 council, we've got a lot in the next 12- 18 months. We've got a lot coming forth 645 00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:36,160 in the administration that we need to make sure that we 646 00:52:34,319 --> 00:52:38,880 » get on the on the right path moving forward. 647 00:52:37,119 --> 00:52:42,800 » We've got a potential new mayor if we don't have writing. It might be somebody 648 00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:46,640 from this council, which means we'll have a new council member. 649 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:52,559 » So, I think there's a lot a lot of moving parts personally in the next 12 650 00:52:49,119 --> 00:53:00,480 to 18 months that I'm not convinced that >> we're ready to did this step myself. Uh 651 00:52:56,559 --> 00:53:04,720 it it LB 289 allows us to do it if we choose to do it. 652 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:08,800 » So that's just my thought and 653 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:12,400 » and this goes back to some of the >> expressed interest when you know some of 654 00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:15,781 those things that were approved as to why they were approved and that type of 655 00:53:14,079 --> 00:53:20,000 thing. So that's why it was brought [clears throat] out because like I said 656 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:24,559 legislatively just went through it's 100% your decision 657 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:27,839 » and to choose to sit on it and and just wait a little bit. 658 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:32,960 » So, I don't think we need necessarily a motion to table it, but I think we need 659 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:36,240 to lay it back, push it back, and if we need to revisit it, 660 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:39,640 » it's there to do that. >> Just my two, 661 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:49,680 » no action taken. Yeah, no action taken. >> Okay, that's fine. 662 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:53,280 » No, no action taken. We're not going to bring up next month, right? 663 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:56,000 » No. Oh yeah. No, >> they can come back and say I change my 664 00:53:55,359 --> 00:54:00,480 » every month. >> I mean, sure. Well, I I I think we have 665 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,280 to be the ones to bring it forth. It's not going to be automatic. 666 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:06,400 » Yeah. >> Well, and like I said, if you if you 667 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:11,440 start running into challenges where you don't have enough people for the board 668 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:16,839 adjustment or things, you know, >> then then that comes to the forefront. 669 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,839 You've got an option. 670 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:24,240 » Go. Okay. So, I didn't read an ordinance.
