No.

The one thing that Nate when we had the work session that it is not covered in our goals.

Well, it kind of is, but just the three things that you guys want the council to know if we have an opportunity before we're on something.

And so I'll get it.

We can't deliver that at the work session.

We should quickly work on that.

Um, those capital projects, the we can review them, see where we're at, what we've got to do.

You mean like our top three, which looks like if we get funding, we'd we'd like to fund these three things is the top.

I'm assuming Kelsey Doc is probably for the port priority one and just the whole revision.

I'd just like to see that whole thing.

We're the port infrastructure development grant we're turning on September 10th for C honor kind of has design aspects that grant has the Kelsey doc in it as well as the C on.

So yeah, I would say C Otter and Kelsey.

Yeah.

Probably the two for library.

Harbor office, yeah.

Oh yeah.

Is there um any news on the agreement with the state about the internal?

There's no movement.

I think very great this fall we've come back at it with the DLC.

I think it'll help to have session good.

Yeah.

They were they were generally like the DOT director was positive about it.

So we'll we'll come back this fall.

I think they're busy.

The permit was um I I haven't checked my email, but we're supposed to get the permit back for the council.

Okay.

Uh while it on the shore should go through this week.

And then how long would that once you get the permit, how long is that to implement that all our installation?

I don't okay.

I don't know.

It shouldn't take more than two weeks, but it's gonna have to between traffic.

There's yeah, and there's a there was a sale of the ones.

There's a few variables.

So there's some moving parts we can find.

If Nate was here, I would ask because he's been dealing with good enough parts.

But once we get the go ahead.

Oh, so I just wanted to comment that there is a section that's very little used on the council agenda, which is reports and referrals from commissions.

So, you know, the goal of your work session Tuesday with council is to talk big picture and what your priorities are and to get their feedback and um, but if there's things that come up along the way, like these capital projects, it's totally appropriate to submit something for the council agenda through Jeremy at any time.

So thank you.

Do we want to roll those priorities into here or let them know that in the next month we'll be back to them or the next I mean you guys are in budget?

Yeah, we're in budget.

Um I think we can probably get in under the line.

Um if we if the we do the the meeting in September, we can probably get it in before the council gets the buggy all set up.

There's not a lot of money to do big capital projects right now, anyways.

We're kind of on hold until this cap settlement for the next 24 months is probably no big project.

My read on things.

So for the tools.

For the design, if we get that port infrastructure development grant.

We need to take full advantage of that so that when we come out of that when taps is all settled out that we are in the key.

Yeah, read any other add-ons or changes for Tuesday.

Are we looking for a formal to vote and approval on this or just consensus to move it forward to the work?

I'll take either one.

A consensus works, I will put it on the agenda, and it's just a work session, so I don't think it's anything formal.

Those are your goals.

Any any opposition to you want to formally adopt them, then it works.

But all right.

Good to go.

And Jeremy, I guess my question on that is and or Luis is would you be presenting?

Should I be prepared to present?
