SIGNIFY BY I, I. WHERE SQUARE RESTROOM BUILDING TASK ORDER NUMBER 26001. MR. GANNON WILL PRESENT THAT AGENDA ITEM. DO YOU WANT TO SET ME UP THERE? GOOD EVENING. GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL. THIS IS A LONG TIME COMING. THIS IS FOR THE SUCCESS OF RAILROAD SQUARE. IT'S BEEN SUCH A GREAT SUCCESS THAT WE ACTUALLY NEED RESTROOMS DOWN ON RAILROAD SQUARE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE EVENTS WE'VE GOT GOING ON. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH RGA DESIGN TO DESIGN A BUILDING THAT I THINK YOU'LL LIKE, AND ALSO TO MOVE FORWARD ON TASK ORDER NUMBER 26001. SHOW YOU WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING THIS BUILDING. THIS IS IN THE PARKING LOT RIGHT NOW. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE FRONTIER BUILDING. IT'LL BE ADJACENT TO THE FRONTIER BUILDING BETWEEN RAILROAD SQUARE AND MISSOURI AVENUE, VERY CLOSE TO CAVALIER SQUARE, AND ALL THE RESTAURANTS ON RAILROAD SQUARE. PROBABLY A REALLY NICE PLACE FOR IT. THIS IS WHAT WE'VE HAD IT DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE. WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A RAILROAD DEPOT, AN OLD RAILROAD STATION. 
          THERE WILL BE THREE RESTROOMS FOR BOTH LADIES AND MEN, AND THEN THEY'LL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, A STORAGE AREA FOR PUTTING TABLES AND CHAIRS AND THINGS THAT THE CITY MIGHT NEED FOR OUR EVENTS. THIS IS THE FEE SCHEDULE THAT RGA DESIGN HAD PUT TOGETHER. THEY'VE ALREADY DONE THE GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION FOR 3500. THEY'VE GOT PERMIT DRAWINGS, INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL, STRUCTURAL, ENGINEER, MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING, AND OF COURSE, CIVIL ENGINEERING FOR ABOUT 44,000. THEY GOT A LITTLE BID PHASE SERVICES FOR 2500. 
          AND LASTLY AS BUILTS FOR 6000. SO THEIR TOTAL LUMP SUM AUTHORIZATION THAT YOU'LL BE LOOKING AT TONIGHT IS $56,060. WE'RE LOOKING FOR APPROVAL OF THIS TASK ORDER WITH RGA DESIGN.

SECOND, JUST I NOTICE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT USING AN OLD RAILROAD SQUARE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHOSE IDEA IT WAS, BUT. SECOND. NO, I KNOW THAT'LL LEAVE A LOT OF PRESSURE ON SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS AND STUFF TOO, SO BE HELPFUL. ALL RIGHT? NO, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. IT'S A LONG TIME COMING. YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALLEVIATE THE PRESSURE FROM THE RESTAURANTS AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, GET RID OF OUR TEMPORARIES. AND I DON'T THINK IT'LL MAKE IT FOR NEW YEARS OR MAYBE CHASKA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY I, I 
          [3.b) Resolution No. 2026-25: Approval of FY2026-2027 CRA Operating Budget & Capital Projects]
          [00:05:01]
THAT'S FOR NOTHING. RESOLUTION NUMBER 2020 625 APPROVAL OF THE 2627 CRA OPERATING BUDGET AND CAPITAL PROJECTS. THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 2020 625, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA, COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, A PUBLIC BODY CORPORATE AND POLITIC, ADOPTING THE 2026 2027 OPERATING BUDGET, ADOPTING THE 2026 2027 FIVE YEAR WORK PROGRAM FOR THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. HI. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. THIS IS THE PRESENTATION OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2627. 
          THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART DID CHANGE SLIGHTLY FROM LAST YEAR. THE CURRENT ORGANIZATIONAL CHART BEING BEING PRESENTED TO YOU THIS EVENING HAS THE CITY MANAGER, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, AND THE MARKETING SPECIALIST PERCENTAGES. PERCENT SALARY PERCENTAGES ALLOCATED TO THIS DIVISION. THERE WAS AN INCREASE FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S ALLOCATION FROM 25% TO 35%. THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AND THE MARKETING SPECIALIST INCREASED FROM 25% TO 7075%. AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT PREVIOUSLY WAS NOT ALLOCATED TO THIS DEPARTMENT, BUT DOES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK FOR THE CRA, AND THEIR TIME IS ALLOCATED AT 75% OF THEIR SALARY. THE SLIDE HERE DISCUSSES OUR REVENUES. THE CURRENT AD VALOREM. PRESENTED HERE IS $4,960,540. THAT IS CALCULATED AT A MILLAGE RATE OF 7.2593 FOR THE COUNTY. THE COUNTY DID APPROVE A LOWER RATE LAST WEEK AFTER OUR PRESENTATION WAS CREATED, SO THEIR NEW FINAL MILLAGE RATE APPROVED FINAL MILLAGE RATE OF .24437.2488, WHICH RESULTED IN A DECREASE OF $7,175 FROM THE AMOUNT PRESENTED HERE THIS EVENING. GRANT FUNDING OF 5000 IS FOR ALLOCATION FOR A POSSIBLE GRANT TOWARDS THE BICYCLE TRAIL MASTER PLAN. 
          SURPLUS LAND SALES OF 7,600,000. THIS TOTAL REPRESENTS AN ESTIMATE OF THE EXPECTED REVENUE FROM THE SALE OF PROPERTIES HELD FOR RESALE IN THE CRA. CONTRACTUAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF 120 000 APPLIES TO THE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PARKING GARAGE, EXPENDITURES FROM KAISER AND THE COMFORT IN AND THE TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND. TIF IS CALCULATED AT 8.1 MILLS, AND THAT TOTALS 5,535,000. THE USE OF ROLLOVER OF 1.5 MILLION IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS BUDGET. AGAIN, TOTAL PERSONNEL. WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED. THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART IS $409,700. THIS IS VERY SMALL. THE EXPENDITURES FOR THE OPERATING TOTAL $3,000,329 329,000. SORRY, THE INCENTIVES PRESENTED HERE. THANK YOU. THE DEVELOPER INCENTIVES OF 2.5 MILLION AND RESIDENTIAL INCENTIVES OF 250,000. AND THOSE INCENTIVES ARE CONSIST OF GRANTS AND LOANS OR TAX REBATES OR FEE WAIVERS. TOTAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURES IN THE CRA IS 9,115,000. AND THAT IS ALSO PRESENTED IN THE SAME MANNER IN YOUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. AND THERE WERE NO CHANGES FROM THE FIRST PRESENTATION AT THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING TO THIS EVENING. THE TRANSFER IS OUTLINED HERE. 
          THE FIRST TRANSFER IS TRANSFER TO GENERAL FUND SERVICES. THAT IS, AN ALLOCATION OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE GENERAL FUND, PAID FROM THE CRA TO THE GENERAL FUND. THAT TOTAL IS $300,020. TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE GENERAL FUND. DEBT SERVICE IS $3,411,000, AND THE THREE DEBTS THAT ARE STILL OUTSTANDING IS THE SERIES 2016 REFUNDING REVENUE NOTE THAT IS FOR THE RECREATION CENTER. A SERIES 2020 NOTE FOR THE PARKING GARAGE AND A SERIES 2025 NOTE FOR RAILROAD SQUARE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE PURCHASE OF 7631 US HIGHWAY 19. THE $328,760. THE TRANSFER TO THE WATER AND SEWER REVENUE FUND IS 
          [00:10:08]
A TRANSFER FOR IMPACT FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT. THE TRANSFER TO THE GENERAL FUND FOR THE CRA LOAN IS $2,798,000. THAT PAYS THE BALANCE IN FULL THAT THE CRA OWES TO THE GENERAL FUND, AND THAT IS THE OUTSTANDING LOAN BALANCE AND THE NEGATIVE CASH BALANCE THAT WAS PRESENTED AS OF SEPTEMBER OF 2025. THE TRANSFER TO THE PARKING TO THE GENERAL FUND FOR THE PARKING GARAGE IS 288,000. THE 288,000 MAKES UP THE TOTAL PARKING GARAGE BUDGET, AND AGAIN, 120,000 IS APPROPRIATED IN REVENUES FROM THE HOTEL AND THE UNIVERSITY. SO TOTAL TRANSFERS $7,127,630. ANY QUESTIONS? ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? SEEING NO ONE COME FORWARD, BRING IT BACK FOR DISCUSSION AND VOTE. I HAVE A QUESTION, MR. CHAIRMAN. THE TRANSFER OF THE BANK BUILDING TO THE CRA, WAS THAT ACCOMPLISHED THEN? AND CASH HAS ALREADY BEEN. THE CLOSING HAS OCCURRED. SO IT'S NOT REFLECTED HERE, OR AT LEAST THE MONEY'S BEEN ESCROWED OR IT'S IT WAS TRANSFERRED IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. AND AS PRESENTED IN THE TOTAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE FOR THE YEAR, FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. YES. SO TWO THINGS TO CELEBRATE THEN REALLY, WHICH IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF A NEW ASSET AND THE EFFECTIVELY MORTGAGE BURNING BACK OF MONEY OWED BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND, WHICH IS 2.7 MILLION IN THE CURRENT YEAR, BUT WILL NOT BE THERE IN FUTURE YEARS UNLESS THERE'S A NEGATIVE CASH, FURTHER LOANS OR ACTIVITIES OCCURRED. SO THAT'S WHY I SUGGESTED I REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH, YOU KNOW, DEBT SERVICE REMAINS. AS WE LOOK AT THE LONG TERM REVENUE STREAMS THAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH. AND WHEN WE DO GET TO MEET AND HAVE OUR SORT OF STRATEGIC PLANNING TO SEE WHAT WE CAN AFFORD ON A MORE LONG TERM BASIS. THE THE CONTINUATION OF RAILROAD SQUARE. I, I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THE BUDGET. IS THAT A USE OF. IS THAT A USE OF PENNY FOR PASCO OR IN OUR CAPITAL BUDGET FOR THE GENERAL FUND OR FOR. IT WAS IN OUR CRA. I SEE IT WAS PAID FOR IN THE CRA, BUT IT'S IN OUR CAPITAL. I'M TALKING TO THE EXPANSION OF IT. IT'S PRESENTED IN THE CAPITAL, PRESENTED IN CAPITAL, THOUGH. I MEAN, LET ME MOVE BACK A FEW SLIDES. YEAH. IF YOU CAN SEE IT THOUGH, IT'S VERY SMALL. IT'S THE TOP FOUR. 
          PROJECT NUMBER 4001. SORRY. YES. I WAS LOOKING DOWN TO SEE THE ACORN AND THE. AND THE GRAND BOULEVARD. SO THREE GOOD STRONG BUDGETS FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BUDGET. VERY VERY NICE. 
          THANK YOU. YOU HAVE A PROPOSAL FOR A SECOND. I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE BUDGET AS PRESENTED. 
          I'LL SECOND ANYTHING ELSE JUST TO SAY I MEAN, THE BUDGET IS A LIVING DOCUMENT. AS WE LEARN THINGS AND FIND. WE'VE LEARNED WITH RAILROAD SQUARE ONE, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT WE HAD TO COME BACK A TIME OR TWO TO. ONCE WE LEARNED WHAT THE REAL COSTS ARE. AND. AND I KNOW WE'VE GOT THE BATHROOM. YOU KNOW, JUST LOOKING AT ALL THE PROJECTS, SEEING WHERE ALL THE MONEY'S COMING FROM AND WHERE IT'S GOING OUT, IT'S, IT'S AN EXERCISE. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET. WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING DONE. I'M HAPPY TO APPROVE IT. WE'RE DONE WITH THE GENERAL FUND. SO LET'S MOVE ON. SECOND, JUST EXCITED TO SEE ALL THESE PROJECTS COME TO FRUITION AND LET'S GET THE BALL ROLLING. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL THE HARD WORK. CRYSTAL, TAKE A VACATION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY I, I THAT'S FOUR NOTHING COMMUNICATIONS. 
          [4) Communications]
YOU WANT TO START P YEAH. I THINK TODAY REPRESENTS AN ANNIVERSARY OF THE PASSING OF MY GRANDSON. SO I'M GOING TO GO TO HOOTERS WITH ALL OF HIS CLASSMATES THAT WERE ON HIS BASEBALL TEAM, GO EVERY YEAR TO CELEBRATE HIS LIFE. SO THAT'S AN EMOTIONAL THING FOR ME, AND ONE THAT MAYBE HELPED TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT OF MY. LIFE PRESSURES, NOT PRESSURES 
          [00:15:07]
AT ALL, BUT MY COMMITMENT REALLY TO TRY TO SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE YOUTH OF OUR COMMUNITY HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND THAT WE DO SOMETHING FOR THEM, NOT ONLY TO MAKE THEM REALIZE THAT IF ANYBODY'S LISTENING, THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR DREAMS ARE BEST FULFILLED BY THE GETTING UP FROM THE PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR AS YOU'RE GROWING UP. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK OUR WORK OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY, OUR WORK WITH OUR RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO GIVE ACTIVITIES AND, AND WE'RE AT A POINT IN, IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY WHERE A LOT OF THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE IN TERMS OF WHAT ARE THEIR NEW CAREERS. SO I'M, I'M EXCITED AND I'LL CONTINUE TO BE AN ADVOCATE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO OUR BEST FOR OUR OWN COMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO, YOU KNOW, THEIR POTENTIAL, THEIR FUTURE, AND THE SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR CITY. SO JUST AS A, AS A REMINDER FOR ME, AS I GO AND SEE ALL THESE OTHER YOUNG FAMILIES THAT ARE HAVING CHILDREN, THAT IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT. AND I THINK WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. GOOD. NOTHING TO SAY TONIGHT. OH. WELL, I, YOU KNOW, I, I APPRECIATE YOUR REALISM TONIGHT, PETER. YOU KNOW, SO, YOU KNOW, AS, AS YOU'RE DEALING WITH YOUR SITUATION, YOU KNOW, I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH QUITE A FEW FAMILY MEMBERS HERE RECENTLY PASSING AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, AND THEM HAVING YOUNG CHILDREN, IT REALLY PUTS INTO PERSPECTIVE WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY SEES THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS TO BENEFIT EVERYONE, YOU KNOW. SO JUST HEARING THAT FROM YOU, YOU KNOW, SPEAKS VOLUMES. SO I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT. BUT ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE, I KIND OF WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE TOURISM COMMITTEE A LITTLE BIT, KIND OF BRAG ON THEM A LITTLE BIT. THEY DID WIN THE FLAGLER AWARD, THE SILVER FOR THEIR DIGITAL CAMPAIGN. SO I REALLY PRESTIGIOUS AWARD. I THINK THAT SPEAKS A LOT TO THE COUNTY AND THE WORK THAT THEY'RE PUTTING IN. AND THEN I ALSO JUST WANTED TO MENTION, YOU KNOW, THEY THEY ARE WORKING ON A RIVER PROJECT WITH RIVIERA WATERSPORTS IN PORT RICHEY. AND I DID HAVE THE, YOU KNOW, THE PLEASURE OF MEETING ROGER OUT THERE AND WALKING THAT PROJECT. AND I'M LIKE REALLY EXCITED. SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK MAYBE IF WE NEED TO MAYBE HAVE A LITTLE MEETING WITH PORT RICHEY, A LITTLE COLLABORATION, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S SOME COUNTY PROPERTY THERE INVOLVED. YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU AND I HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THE RIVER RESILIENCY. SO I THINK THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES TO FRUITION, CAN BE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT JUST A BENEFIT FOR PORT RICHEY, BUT FOR ALSO FOR US AND THE, THE COUNTY ALTOGETHER. SO I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO MENTION THAT, YOU KNOW, TONIGHT AND THAT'LL BE IT FOR ME. I KNOW THAT BRIAN AND I, AND I WENT TO THE. FLORIDA OR THE SUNCOAST LEAGUE OF CITIES, AND I COULDN'T STAY THE WHOLE TIME. BRIAN COULDN'T STAY THE WHOLE TIME. BUT BATTELLE DID. AND SO JUST IT'S JUST INTERESTING HOW HARD THEY WORK. AND I THINK I'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE REST OF US CONTRIBUTE MORE, YOU KNOW, TO THEIR PROGRAM TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO IT. YEAH. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO BRING UP IS SPEAKING OF JUST HELPING PEOPLE, THE KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY. MY KICKBALL TOURNAMENT HAS TWO, TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THIS, AND ONE IS THE REC CENTER FOR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THE KIDS THAT CAN'T AFFORD THE THE PROGRAM THERE. AND THE OTHER IS GULF HIGH HAS PROGRAMS TO TRY TO HELP STUDENTS THAT GO OUT FOR A SPORT AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR, TO PAY FOR THE SPORT. THAT WILL BE A SCHOLARSHIP FOR THEM. SO THAT'S TWO OF THE THREE, THE OTHERS, RICHEY SUNCOAST THEATER. BUT THOSE TWO ARE HELPING THE KIDS. AND THAT GOES ALONG WITH KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          PETE. SO AND I JUST TO THROW THIS OUT SINCE I LOOK IT OVER THERE. SO. COLIN RAILROAD SQUARE NEEDS TO BE PRESSURE CLEANED AGAIN. AND I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING MAYBE THAT WE CAN DO BECAUSE IT'S GOING IN AND OUT OF RAILROAD, OUT OF STEAMWORKS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRACKING THE DIRT IN THERE OR OUT, BUT RIGHT OUTSIDE THAT IS PROBABLY THE FILTHIEST SPOT, YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THERE'S A CARPET YOU CAN PUT THERE OR SOMETHING THAT CHANGES REGULAR, MAYBE HAVE THEM DO IT, BUT THAT'S MAYBE THEY COULD. YEAH, I'M JUST SO THAT MAY BE GUIDANCE FROM US TO GIVE HIM A HAND, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, IT JUST TRACKS IT EVEN ALL THE WAY DOWN. BUT THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE DONE AGAIN. SO ANYTHING ELSE? I DO HAVE A FOLLOW UP ON THE CRA, WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THE, THE ALLOCATION 
          [00:20:01]
OF, OF STAFF ON A PERCENTAGE BASIS, WHICH IS GENERALLY WOULD BE FROWNED UPON, I THINK, WITHOUT SOME KIND OF REQUIRED SORT OF DOCUMENTATION THAT THAT HAPPENS. BUT WITH RESPECT TO THE 75% FOR MARKETING IN PARTICULAR, THE INTERPRETATIONS OFTEN ARE THAT THAT ANY EVENT THAT'S BEING PROMOTED OR MARKETED OR BECAUSE THERE'S MORE THAN JUST EVENTS BEING MARKETED, I UNDERSTAND THE CITY AS A WHOLE, BUT BUT GENERAL MARKETING. AND PARTICULAR EVENTS GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THE, THE, A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON THE SENSE THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM SOME THAT AS WE DISAGREE, OUR EVENTS ARE VERY CRITICAL TO US TO BRING PEOPLE IN, BUT THAT THEY'RE FROWNED UPON AND THEY'RE IN THE CHANGES OF THE STATUTE THAT MIGHT BE REVIEWED. BUT THE THE TAKEAWAY FROM THAT IS IF THERE IS AN EVENT, THE QUALIFICATION THE QUALIFIER HAS BEEN TO HAVE SOME KIND OF EXPRESSION FROM THE CRA THAT IT IS EDUCATIONAL TO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE CITY. SO WE SHOULD REALLY DETERMINE IF WE'RE GOING TO DO MARKETING. AND MAYBE BACK TO THE ATTORNEY, BECAUSE I KNOW CLIFFORD SMITH IS A VERY HARD LINER ON THIS, BUT HE'S NOT OUR ATTORNEY. OUR OUR ATTORNEY GIVES US LEGAL ADVICE. BUT STUDYING THAT MARKETING, WHICH HAS BEEN AN ACHILLES HEEL, I GUESS, WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEFENSE OF OF CRAS AND THE SPENDING OF DOLLARS, IT'S NOT A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE BUDGET, BUT IT MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT MARKETING PROMOTES IN SOME WAY AND ATTRACTS PEOPLE TO LOOK AT AND UNDERSTAND HOW OUR CRA WORKS, BECAUSE IT IS A STRUGGLE, OFTENTIMES FOR PEOPLE TO SEE US DO THESE NICE THINGS WHEN THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO MAKE A LIVING AND FEELING OR LISTENING TO. POLITICS, WHICH TALKS ABOUT GOVERNMENT GETTING OUT OF EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE BASICS, BECAUSE WE'RE WELL BEYOND THE BASICS WITH THE CRA, PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WORKS. SO I WOULD ASK IF YOU WOULD LOOK INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT. THANK YOU, IF YOU WOULD. ONE LAST THING I FORGOT. I JUST WANT TO PUT A SHOUT OUT TO KEVIN TRAPP AND THE REC DEPARTMENT FOR THE CODY RIVER CLEANUP. MOST OF US HERE WERE UP THERE. WE HAD ABOUT 200 RESIDENTS SHOW UP. AWESOME EVENT, GREAT HOT DOGS. KEVIN. 
          THANK YOU. BUT I JUST WANT TO PUT A SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE RESIDENTS WHO SHOWED UP. WE APPRECIATE IT. AND WE WANT TO SEE 300 FOR THE NEXT ONE IN NOVEMBER. YES, IT'S A CITY 1ST NOVEMBER. YEAH. NOVEMBER 7TH, I BELIEVE. I DON'T KNOW, I CAN LET YOU KNOW THOUGH. WELL, IT'S ONE FIFTH OF THE SEVENTH. I THINK IT'S THE SEVENTH. OKAY. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? DEB? NOT AT THIS TIME, MR. MAYOR. NOTHING FOR ME, MR. MAYOR. ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN.
