Thank you, Mayor.

We're recording.

Thanks.

Would you lead the pledge?

Under the municipality and justice for the Mayor's remarks?

Thank you.

The first item under strategic priorities.

This is a capital improvement plan.

We have assistant city manager love for presentation.

Good afternoon.

Sorry.

Good afternoon.

At the retreat, if you will call, we talked about capital improvement program, and you began talking about prioritizing projects.

So we're gonna pick up where we left off in your memo for this item.

You can see that we had four projects where there was a consensus of the council where four or more council members prioritize that project.

And I've given you a discussion worksheet, uh, which is the same information that's in the memo, but it's just on one page.

It may be helpful for the discussion as we get into that.

But those projects were land acquisition, police drone is a first responder program, recreation center, and the stormwater grant program.

And then we had four projects where there was almost consensus whereby there were at least three council members that prioritize that project.

There were seven projects where two council members prioritize those, and I won't read those off, but you can see those there.

We had 12 projects that received one vote by a council member, and then we had another uh 12 projects that received no votes.

There were 38 projects in total for consideration.

And we discussed approximately 20.1 million dollars being available from a variety of sources that the council could consider for allocation uh for those capital projects, depending on how you wanted to set aside funding.

Additionally, during this discussion, there was consensus related to establishing a separate dredging program, pond dredging program, and as a placeholder for the discussion, staff put in 500,000, which is a like amount for the stormwater grant program.

Obviously, council can up or down or change those amounts.

So in total for consensus projects, there are 18,150,000.

And during that same discussion, the council it was consensus to put aside 15 million dollars for land acquisition.

Uh there was some discussion uh related.

A couple of council members wanted to pull forward or earlier the bathrooms uh at boardwalk.

That was not a consensus, but it is noted in here.

Um then in your memo you can see the chart uh that shows the funding request on those projects that were uh not consensus and how many votes they received.

Um those ones that received three votes totaled 1.4 million, and those that received two votes uh totaled 2.8 million.

So there's a 4.2 million dollar uh group of projects that were two or three.

Uh Mr.

Mayor, I don't know if you want to start with consensus projects or go around, or perhaps there might be some questions about projects.

Yeah, uh I think it's probably up to each individual member, but uh, I'll just say for myself that you know I think that what we have in front of us with the consensus items is large.

And considering the recreation center is something that would need funding into the future past this next funding year.

Uh I'm satisfied to stick with those that are at the top of the list.

I know that there are a lot of things on this list that are worthwhile, but gotta make hard choices.

Yes, I agree.

I don't feel pressured to allocate the remaining the difference um between the 20 million and the 18 million we've already allocated.

So that discrepancy could either be put into land acquisition or it could be put somewhere else that you know as a placeholder until we get to the budget cycle this summer.

I find with either of those.

Okay, so uh some of these items.

The bottom two will are definitely worth the considering again that we can uh address those in the 27 budget.

Again, that we can address those in the 27 budget.

So the delta of 2.9 million dollars.

We will need another 20 million for the rec center.

So would it be possible to make another like a project account, like recreation center?

And that 2 million that we already assigned, and what is the delta 80s right now?

It's going to be 2.9.

Can we park everything in the rec center instead of again going to a different bucket?

Certainly.

So that would be no like exactly what's what is needed and how much we have it in that bucket.

For each of the projects where council um assigns or appropriates money, it would have its own project number.

So the recreation center should council move forward with that would have a project number and whatever amount you appropriate, whether it is two million or two million plus or whatever the amount that you wind up appropriating through the budget process would go in there.

They are coming from the different sources.

So we got to look for each.

So yeah, so moving forward, and it's a great point.

Yeah, over time, as money has been cobbled together or added or from different sources, um, the city has used uh different project numbers for different phases.
