A
B
First,
off
I'd
like
to
apologize
to
this
body,
I've
been
called
twice
that
I
couldn't
be
here
once
we
were
virtual
and
I
could
not
get
zoomed
to
work.
I've
done
zoomed
different
times.
It
would
not
click
in
that
night.
So
I
apologize
the
other
time
I
was
late.
I
was
here
and
then
I
had
to
turn
around
by
the
time
I
got
back.
Somebody
else
was
praying,
so
I
just
saw
inside
the
door
that
somebody
else
was
doing
it.
So
I
do
apologize.
I
did
make
it
tonight.
B
I
believe
this
is
me,
so
so
let
us
go
to
the
lord
in
prayer
almighty.
God
we
come
before
you
tonight
as
a
as
a
body
of
concerned,
citizens
and
elected
officials,
lord,
that
we
could
do
business
for
this
city,
this
wonderful
city
on
the
river
here
of
ironson,
ohio,
lord,
a
city
that
we've
come
to
love
over
the
years.
Some
were
born
here.
Others
have
moved
in
and
lord
we
just
call
it
home
now.
So
we
thank
you,
lord
for
opportunities
to
serve
you
in
whatever
capacity
you've
called
us
to
be
so
lord.
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
councilman,
for
allowing
us
to
meet
with
you
tonight
and
would
like
specifically
to
talk
about
the
hotel
motel
tax,
that
you're
under
consideration
within
your
body.
So,
and
let
me
kind
of
give
you
a
quick
picture
of
the
cvb.
I
know.
Sometimes
you
say
that
the
city
gets
one
percent
and
the
county
takes
five
well
100
percent
of
that
five
percent
goes
back
to
operate
a
cbb
in
the
county
and
a
huge
part
of
that.
For
probably
the
majority
goes
between
ironton
and
wayne
national
force.
E
It
seemed
like
this
is
our
area
of
concentration
and
marty
conley,
so
we've
met,
marty
and
marty
actually
operates
it
and
he's
redone
the
menus
on
the
depot
on
the
armories
and
got
them
all
in
electronic
format
and
during
the
covert
he
was
helping.
Do
grants
and
stay
on
top
of
things
and
and
helping
them
write
their
ppp
plans.
So,
honestly,
the
the
five
percent
of
the
sit
that
the
county
gets.
They
keep
nothing
for
themselves.
E
A
hundred
percent
goes
into
marketing
and
trying
to
promote
and
develop
the
county,
and
particularly
our
I
mean
we're
doing
infomercials
they're
doing
the
youtubes
they're
doing
the
electronics
today
you'll
see
most
of
your
restaurants
in
ireland
on
where
their
menus
are
electronic
and
he
helped
make
all
those
things
happen.
So
it's
it's.
I
think
it's
been
a
a
great
investment
beyond
the
county
and-
and
I
appreciate
the
council
interested
in
trying
to
to
do
more.
E
So
it
really,
I
think,
would
make
us
in
a
very
unfavorable
unfavorable
position
where
people
in
iceland
can
say
that
ironton's,
you
know
50
higher
than
we
are
plus
two
five
percent
honestly
is
being
invested
now
in
harrington,
largely
the
car
show
that
was
done.
That
was
marty
helped
make
that
happen.
I
think
he
worked
with
the
mayor
and
everyone.
E
So
there's
very
few
projects.
That's
happened
with
the
parent
and
alive
the
friends
of
ironton.
I
mean
truly
this
this.
This
has
been
a
real
effort
to
market
ironton
and
the
community.
So
so
that's
so
I
don't
want
to
take
the
question,
but
at
some
point
I'd
ask
mike
holtz
to
join
me
mike
is
with
the
hotels
and
can
give
a
much
deeper.
But
if
you
want
to
answer
a
question,
I'd
be
curious
too.
F
C
E
Where
they're
for
some
some
calls
actual,
usually
a
building
to
offset
the
debt,
and
many
of
them
are
actually
approved
for
20
years,
so
that
actually
would
retire
bonds.
So
you
know
that,
but
the
six
percent
for
the
actual
taxes
you
call
it
other
than
for
the
you
know
special
calls
and
they
were
all
approved
by
the
legislature.
E
E
H
I
Okay,
well,
you
probably
all
know
the
hospitality
business
was
one
of
the
hardest
hit
industries
during
the
pandemic
and
our
hotel
sector.
The
upper
mid
scale
sector,
where
the
express
and
town
place
seats
will
follow,
fall
in
close
to
50
percent
and
revenues.
Nationwide
were
decreased
in
2020.
as
industry.
We're
still
recovering
from
this
drastically
and
with
that,
a
lot
of
our
customers
are
extremely
price.
Sensitive.
The
best
way
for
the
hotel
to
be
successful
is
to
establish
a
base
business,
that's
usually
anywhere
from
20
up
to
50
percent
of
our
customers.
I
We
can
serve
base
business
depending
on
what
time
of
the
year
it
is.
The
base
business
is
extremely
rate,
sensitive,
competitive
business
that
we
have
to
go
after
to
sustain
operations,
a
hotel,
and
so
it
allows
us
to
go
after
the
groups
in
the
higher
corporate
rates
and
be
successful
and
have
a
successful
business
model.
I
All
the
first
question
they
asked
is:
what's
your
all-inclusive
rate,
so
anywhere
from
20
to
50
in
business.
That's
their
first
question,
which
are
all
inclusive
rate
and
every
dollar
matters
to
that,
especially
when
right
now
we're
the
highest
all-inclusive
with
taxes
compared
to
ashland
and
west
virginia
area.
I
If
we
continue
to
increase
that,
it
is
going
to
hurt
our
ability
to
pull
that
business
from
across
the
river
into
the
city
of
ironton.
Also,
our
payroll
in
2019
is
roughly
around
500
000,
which
I
believe
contributed
close
to
five
thousand
dollars
straight
to
the
city
of
ironton,
and
because
of
that
we
were
able
and
because
of
the
business
friendly
environment.
I
F
So
last
time
we
we
had
representatives
come
in,
I
guess
there
was
some
persuasion
and
it
got
taken.
I
did
not
agree
with
that,
but
shortly
thereafter
your
company-
I
guess
I
don't
know
if
you
need
a
vote
or
whatever,
but
they
increased
the
nightly
rates
shortly
thereafter.
This
ordinance
got
tabled
previously.
F
I
think
that
was
kind
of
a
you
know,
spit
in
the
face
to
the
city
of
ironton,
that
you
know
you're
you're
telling
us
all
this
information
and
it's
basically
the
same
information
you
brought
to
us
about
a
year
ago
that
struggling
struggling,
struggling,
but
then
you've
got
to
increase
the
rates.
You're
not
only
rates
yourself
and
then
we're
left
sitting
here
wondering
like
okay,
so
obviously
you're
doing
well
enough
to
increase
the
rates.
But
you
know
the
city
can't
have
any
portion
of
that
correct.
J
J
I
I
We
actually
had
three
tvs
arrived
last
week.
All
of
them
were
broken
that
took
three
months
to
get
in,
so
we
don't
have
all
rooms
up
and
running
right
now,
at
both
hotels,
we
actually
have
a
roof
repair
that
we
need
to
get
done
at
the
express
that
is
taking
several
weeks,
if
not
up
to
a
month,
just
to
try
to
get
someone
out
there
to
repair
that,
due
to
it
again,
it's
impossible
to
get
people
out
to
the
hotel.
F
Which
specific
hotel
lodging
taxes,
the
cbb,
is
actually
enacting
with
this,
because
there's
about
three
or
four
different
ones
that
you
are
capable
of
enacting.
I
just
like
would
like
to
know
specific,
because
I've
looked
every
government
agency
that
I've
looked
at
does
not
have
that
information.
So
yeah.
E
E
Correct
yeah,
well
that
neither
of
those
or
that
one
is
my
understanding.
I
I
don't.
I
don't
know
on
that.
One
honestly,
I
would
have
to
have
council
pull
those
up
totally.
Look
at
my.
I
just
know
those
are
the
years
they
were
enacted,
so
whatever
normal
was
there,
but
so
and
then
we
have
in
the
84,
they
have
a
a
guidebook,
probably
a
thirty-page
guidebook,
how
it
was
to
be
operated
and
who
was
to
pay
and
how
the
money
would
be
collected
and
any
kind
of
late
charges.
It's
a
pretty
thorough,
thorough
situation.
I
K
C
I
E
I
I
I
could
tell
you
at
the
express
last
month
our
bill
was
close
to
four
thousand
dollars.
Okay,
so
I'd
say
at
the
express
re-range
around
three
thousand
to
four
thousand
a
month
and
the
town
place,
as
I
said,
we're
just
now,
starting
to
take
off.
So
it's
probably
about
a
couple
thousand,
but
that
will
build
as
occupancy
builds.
K
Thank
you
for
that
and
if
you
have
any
issues
as
far
as
services
from
the
city,
based
on
that
no,
I
have
not
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
last
question.
Are
you
aware
of
the
proposed
development
of
the
phase
three
project
and
gateway
near
your
hotel,
with
with
new
developments
that
would
benefit
the
community
along
with
a
cdb
office
in
that
facility?
I'm.
K
I
Absolutely
the
first
thing
a
traveler
wants
is
when
they
get
to
a
hotel
check
in
and
walk
to
the
nearest
restaurant
or
bar
grocery
store.
They
want
to
be
able
to
walk
to
places,
as
opposed
to
after
being
in
the
road,
getting
a
car
and
having
to
travel
somewhere
else
and
the
more
options
that
we
have
within
a
walking
distance.
It
will
significantly
impact
the
hotel
in
a
positive
way,
and
would
you.
K
J
I
All
of
our
employees
run
through
payroll,
the
only
train
that
is
involved,
that
is
when
the
franchisor
will
send
their
employees
like
marriott
to
come
in
and
train
for
a
week
and
then
they
leave
but
other
than
that
everybody's
on
our
payroll.
That's
at
those
hotels,
just
yeah,
that's
the
only
thing
I
could
think
of
in
regards
to
training
on
that
is
us
two.
A
Questions
to
touch
on
nate's
point:
if,
if,
if
we
were
to
pass
this
and
ironton,
was
to
invest
our
three
percent
into
into
seeing
that
cbb
be
located
in
a
physical
building
in
ironton
in
that
phase
three
project.
Would
that
be
something
that
that
you
all
would
would,
I
guess,
that's
more
towards
bill
would
be,
would
would
be
accommodating
too.
C
E
E
You
know
with
a
hotel.
When
we
built
the
town
place,
we
got
into
terrible
soils,
I
mean
it
cost.
I
think
three
or
four
hundred
thousand
to
take
the
soil
out
went
down.
I
think
it's
24
foot
and
put
in
a
layer
of
plastic
and
then
put
in
16
inches
of
limestone
and
compacted
it
back
up,
and
it
was,
I
think,
about
350.
It
was
a
terribly
expensive
thing
and
the
problem
we
have
is
with
the
plan
new
building,
which
which
not
only
is
welcome
center.
E
It's
a
combination
of
that
we're
also
trying
to
put
in
there
these
three
restaurants
and
also
a
virtual
work
center.
We
believe
that
we
need
some
of
the
jobs
out
of
the
big
cities
here
to
work
with
virtual
workspace
and-
and
I
guess
that's
the
to
you-
you
know
that
particular
piece
of
property
left
currently
that
property
they
have
eight
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
it.
I
tell
you,
when
you
buy
pieces,
a
lot
at
a
time
and
tear
down
houses
and
those
have
you
been
involved,
so
the
people
have
made
a
you
know.
E
A
E
Now,
because,
if
I
do
then,
then
I've
got
in
marty
conley
his
whole
position
and
all
of
his
work
goes
down.
The
tube
that
he's
worked
on
the
whole
process.
He's
got
a
relationship
with
all
of
your
businesses,
restaurants,
it
would
be,
I
mean
to
take
away.
Half
of
that
budget
would
be
just
to
be
honest,
craig,
I
don't
I
mean
I.
I
want
to
be
straight
with
you.
That
is
probably
he
is
doing
more
good
today
for
our
community
than
any
other
entity
around
within
the
southern
ohio.
A
To
prove,
because
you
know,
we've
asked
as
a
legislative
body
prior
to
prior
to
this
prior
to
this
council
being
seated,
we
we
did
rich
blankenship
asked
the
commissioners
then
back
then,
would
they
consider
a
split
rather
than
a
5-1,
what
they
consider
a
new
split
and
we're
told
no.
So
I
that
was
my.
E
Follow-Up
question
on
the
statute:
when
that
was
put
on
it
was
allowing
three
additional
percent
and
the
maximum
you
could.
The
commissioners
could
give
to
municipalities,
one
percent,
so
they
did
give
you
the
very
maximum
in
that
particular
legislation.
When
you
go
back
to
2008,
they
did
give
the
city
the
very
maximum
law.
F
Well,
it
says
right
here,
under
the
lodging,
tax
authorized
in
1980
counties
are
required
to
return
to
municipal
municipalities
and
townships
that
do
not
levy
any
hotel,
motel
tax,
a
uniform
percentage
not
to
exceed
33.3
point
three
percent
of
revenue
generated
within
the
municipality
and
township.
So.
E
E
The
biggest
issue
I
have
is
the
negative
impact
of
raising
the
faith.
I
just
see
the
if
I
was
in
iceland
and
I'm
trying
to
sell
rooms
there,
and
I
can
say
that
you
know
ironton
is
50
percent
higher
from
the
southern
hills
up
here
in
burlington,
the
same
thing
you'll
be
50
on
the
bed
tax.
However,
they
are
right.
So
that's
the
thing
is
when
you're
you're
suffering
anyway
at
the
steel
on
the
on
the.
I
The
key
number
is
not
your
occupancy,
it's
really
your
rev
par,
which
is
your
revenue
per
available
room.
That's
a
combination
of
your
occupancy
and
your
rate,
so
the
three
percent
would
hurt.
Our
rate
thus
mean
our
rev
car
is
lower
and
the
rev
power
is
how
the
key
metric
that
you're
looking
at
that,
tells
you,
if
you're
breaking
even
on
a
daily
basis
or
not.
I
So
you
could
be
running
80
occupancy.
But
if
your
rate
is
not
at
the
right
number,
you
can
still
be
losing
money,
and
on
top
of
that,
the
ohio
lodging
association
they
came
out
and
they
tracked
the
average
spending
that
a
traveler
does
that
stays
at
a
hotel
and
according
to
them
in
2019
the
average
that
was
the
last
real
year
in
our
business.
We
always
refer
to
2019.
We
kind
of
try
to
forget
about
2020,
but
the
average
spend
in
the
local
market
for
overnight.
I
F
E
Of
that,
but
13.25
is
competitive
with
iceland
and
other
places.
So
it's
that's
the
yeah
that
that's
the
issue
would
become
non-competitive.
That's
what
concerns
me
and
it's
just
not
a
county
against
the
city.
I
mean
the
cvb
technically
this
money
is
the
tax
was
put
on
technically
for
the
benefit
of
of
helping
to
to
promote
communities
and
bring
in
visitors
and
so
on,
which
so
the
county's
majority
of
the
money
is
going
to
that.
You
are
getting
the
benefit
of
that
good.
E
E
And
where
do
we
have
restaurants
in
march
county?
Except
here
I
mean:
where
do
we
have
the
other
kinds
of
activities
and
the
sales
and
so
on?
It's
not
because
you
take
travelers,
don't
spend
money
at
walmart
they,
but
they
do
spend
money
in
in
in
places
like
the
marina
stores
and
and
the
kayak
places,
and
things
like
that.
It's
it's
a
different.
E
A
G
G
Okay,
thank
you.
The
commission
visitor
bureau,
I
think,
is
a
fantastic
idea
for
ironson
the
virtual
workspace
or
the
virtual
office
facility,
that's
being
considered
for
ironton,
I
think,
is
also
a
fantastic
idea.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
might
not
be
familiar
with
that
concept.
I
lived
in
columbus.
A
G
My
specific
reason
for
asking,
through
the
years
that
I
lived
in
columbus,
those
virtual
incubators
took
off
fantastically
and
waned
very
quickly
if
it
is
actually
the
business
model
that
follows
the
regis
center.
Those
are
sustainable,
they
draw
a
monthly
or
annual
revenue
by
virtue
of
whoever
it
is
that's
virtually
using
that
space.
G
So
that's
the
first
question
and
then,
to
kind
of,
I
guess,
springboard
off
of
some
of
the
questions
that
mr
haney
had
trying
to
get
a
little
greater
understanding
on
the
ironton
facilities,
the
services
and
the
amount
of
tax
that
ironson
draws
from
the
hotel
combo
there.
What's
your
question,
so
you
know,
if
we're
only
drawing
one
percent
of
the
taxable
revenue
for
the
city
and
the
county
is
getting
an
arguably
larger
percentage
of
that,
but
the
services
rendered
are
in
ironton's
infrastructure,
ironton's,
water
supply,
irons,
sewage
and
sanitation,
trash
police
fire.
A
To
so
he,
mr
holtz,
addressed
that
a
little
bit
just
specific
to
the
holiday
inn,
express
you
know
it's
around
four
thousand
dollars
a
month
that
they
pay
in
utility
bills.
The
sales
tax
goes
to
the
county.
The
income
tax,
which
is
around
50
employees
between
both
places
around
five
thousand
bucks
a
year,
comes
to
the
city
of
ireland.
So
that's.
B
A
A
Minutes
we
have
communications
a
letter
from
the
cao
dated
october
25th
or
15th
2021
regarding
depot
square
phase,
three,
the
letter
from
mr
pierce
that
we
have
already
read
and
addressed
twice
mr
pierce,
and
also
been
thank
you
for,
and
I
echo
some
of
that
and
just
happened
to
notice
some
of
the
some
of
the
places
that
have
been
patched
and
okay.
Some
of
that
thank
you
to
to
not
only
the
mayor
but
the
street
crew
as
well
reports.
There
are
none
ordinances.
M
A
K
Short
discussion:
I
know
this
is
not
the
hotel
motel
tax
ordinance,
but
I
think
they're
both
related,
because
I
feel,
like
your
plan,
is
to
take
that
fee
off
and
fund
the
economic
development
fee
with
the
additional
tax.
So
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
just
make
a
statement
on
both
of
these
I'm
not
in
favor
of
doing
that,
because
I
believe
the
economic
development
fund
is
vital
part
of
what
we
need
to
do
to
move
forward.
K
I
want
to
make
sure
the
mayor
has
tools
in
place
to
do
that,
and
I
do
not
feel
that
fun
should
be
funded
with
additional
hotel
motel
tax,
as
we
heard
mr
holt
say:
they've
invested
over
26
million
dollars
in
our
community
50
employees
and
4
000
a
month
they
put
in.
For
that.
I
am
not
saying
I'm
not
in
favor
of
hotel
tax,
but
I
would
like
to
see
additional
hotel
tax
working
with
the
hotels,
ledc
and
cvb
to
build
a
cbb
in
ironton
with
that
three
percent
dedicated
to
it.
F
F
A
burden
off
the
citizens-
and
you
know,
have
people
from
outside
of
our
community
that
are
staying
overnight
driving
through
when
we
can
have
replace
a
fee
on
our
utility
bill
with
the
ability
to
draw
from
a
hotel,
moto
excise
tax.
That's
exactly
what
that
is
for.
I
would
think
the
legislation
was
for
originally
within
the
state
level.
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
way
to
to
take
some
of
the
burden
off
citizens
and
allow
people
traveling
through
people's
using
our
infrastructure,
to
help
help
the
city
grow.
A
So
I
want
co-mingle
and
nate
2157
about
repealing
the
economic
development
fund,
I'll
I'll
turn
this
back
like
like
I
did
with
chris
when
we
did
the
the
water
fund
and
addressing
the
need
and
saying
you
know,
I
realize
we
need
to
address
our
utility
bill
as
a
whole.
We
need
to
analyze
all
our
fees.
We
need
to
look
at
the
we
need
to
look
at
the
stormwater
utility
fee.
A
A
A
M
A
J
On
how
to
vote
on
ordinances
that
either
create
income
or
taking,
but
I've
been
really
struggling
with
this
one,
because
you
know
being
a
business
owner
myself.
I
know
that
you
know
if
they
would
come
over
and
push
my
business
for
some
fee,
for
I
can
be
competitive,
but
I
would
probably
assume
business.
J
J
J
You
know
how
that
affected,
but
I
just
can't
tonight
vote
for
that,
because
I
think
we
need
to
work
with
the
hotel,
both
of
them
to
try
and
give
them
a
couple
more
months
if
you
can
get
the
occupancy
up
and
even
if
you
get
it
up-
and
we
add
that
three
percent
on
it's
still
going
to
have
to
they
can
maybe
as
absorbed
by
the
profit
level,
that
you
got
where
you
don't
have
to
increase
your
rate.
Chris.
F
F
Created
as
a
city,
this
is
something
that
is
totally
legal
within
the
state
legislature
that
the
hotel
operators
are
quite
aware.
So
it's
not
like
this
is
coming
out
of
that
field
and
you're
just
hit
and
blindsided
and
you're
going
to
have
to
lay
employees
off
and
things
like
that
when
things
are
put
in
place,
they
know
full
well
what
can
be
imposed
in
what
camp
jacob
did
you
have
your
hand
up.
A
No,
no,
I
I
I
echo
your
sentiment
bob.
I
do
they're
they're,
it's
not
clear-cut!
Really
because,
as
nate
pointed
out,
mr
holt's
family
has
invested
26
million
dollars
along
with
other
folks
in
our
community,
and
you
don't
want
to
you:
don't
want
to
kick
a
gift
horse
or
bite
one
or
whatever
the
hell
it's
saying
is
in
the
mouth,
but
nonetheless
I
I
appreciate
dr
dingus's
candor
in
saying
that
they
won't
approach
the
county
about
repealing
their
three
percent.
To
offset
that.
A
I
appreciate
that,
but
but
that's
also
a
tipping
point
for
me
to
say
you
know
this,
isn't
our
burden
alone.
The
burden
also
lies
on
the
county.
So
if,
if
it's,
if
it's
causing
a
hardship
for
the
hotel,
then
the
county
can
visit
it,
because
this
is
the
county
seat.
This
is
where
the
hotels
are.
They
are
in
ireland
and
so
to
me
that
unbeknownst,
the
candor
I
do
appreciate,
but
that
was
my
tipping
point.
A
November,
8th,
I
believe,
is
monday.
Is
that
correct,
yes,
and
and
just
coincidentally
enough
november,
the
next
the
next
schedule,
thursday,
is
thanksgiving,
and
so
by
charter
or
well
by
ordinance
week
we
amended
the
church
to
move
that
to
the
22nd,
so
it
actually
falls
two
weeks
prior,
so
it
kind
of
gives
us
a
good
spacing,
rather
than
move
it
after
so
forth.
Did
he
motion.
A
A
So
our
next
regularly
scheduled
council
meeting
is
moved
from
november
11th,
which
is
veterans
day
holiday.
Thank
you
for
your
service,
the
city
of
ironton.
Does
it
better
than
any
community
in
the
united
states
of
america
recognizing
our
veterans?
I
fully
believe
that
drive
down
our
streets
on
memorial
day
and
see
if
you
can
find
a
single
city
block
that
doesn't
have
an
american
flag
and
then
our
next
meeting
is
november
22nd.
J
J
That's
what
you
remember
yeah
john,
is
that
kind
of
the
way
you
recall
too.
Yes
so
and
come
back
to
you
back.
Was
there
a
reason
except
good
hardness?
Why
we
left
a
one
leader?
Was
there
some
kind
of
specific
something
in
the
law
that
says
you
can't
you
can't
charge
each
individual
rent?
I
mean
it's
in
our
ordinances
that
we
charge
every
reds
and
environments.
J
A
N
N
O
O
C
O
N
O
I
think
another
thing,
mr
cleary,
is
that,
with
that
one
water
meter
that
it
was
going
to
be,
I
I
had
always
interpreted
that
it
was
going
to
be
difficult
separating
that
into
a
hundred
different
meters
going
out
each
individual
room
and
all
that
that's.
That
was
always
my
understanding
on
that,
but
I
will
find
that
I
assume.
L
A
K
L
I
have
our
feasibility
study.
The
holistic
feasibility
study
is
ready.
This
is
a
high
level
summary
make
sure
you're
sitting
down.
Whenever
you
read
this,
it's
a
lot
of
big
numbers.
We
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
do
a
workshop
with
everyone
here
after
we
have
our
next
u.s
epa
call
to
approach
them
on
integrated
planning.
A
L
That's
what
I
was
securing
it
you
know
I
was
wondering
if
that
might
be
what
we
want
to
do
and
I'll
talk
with
them
too,
because,
like
this
is
going
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work
over
the
next
year
and
a
half
developing
that
integrated
plan
that
we've
been
talking
about.
That
could
be
anywhere
from
15
to
20
years
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
all
this
work
that
we
were
supposed
to
have
done
in
five
years,
which
would
have
broke
the
bank.
L
L
B
A
Think
it
probably
is,
it
probably
is
worthy
to
at
least
have
an
initial
conversation
sooner
rather
than
later,
in
the
good
thing
about
workshops
is
that
they-
those
mr
perry,
I'm
talking
to
you
specifically
that
those
workshops
are
open
to
the
public.
So
so
that
way,
mr
perry
or
anybody,
that's
watching
that
is
interested
in
the
city
government.
A
L
Yeah,
I
mostly
need
a
workshop
because
we're
going
to
need
a
lot
of
time
and
I
don't
know
that
we're
going
to
be
having
legislation
to
discuss.
That's
why
I
said
workshop
but
yeah
the
question
real,
quick
you're
about
to
get
it.
I'm
just
going
to
wait
until
I'm
done
and
we're
not
doing
the
you
look
at
this
later.
When
you
get
home.
L
L
There's
a
what
I
was
going
to
say
you
get.
There
is
one
thing,
the
first
page.
This
is
a
project
that
we've
already
submitted
for
funding
full
funding
on.
This
is
the
bathroom
lane.
Storm
sewer,
lift
station
orchard
street
pump,
which
will
do
a
significant
amount
of
work
for
that
end
of
town
with
flooding,
and
things
like
that.
L
We
submitted
that
as
part
of
the
250
million
dollars
that
was
provided
by
the
state
on
the
house
bill,
168
money
that
was
allocated
for
water
and
sewer
projects
that-
and
I
I'm
pretty
sure
I
reported
it,
but
that
ranked
number
one
in
the
county
by
the
county
engineers
we
had
the
other
project,
which
was
our
third
street
water
line,
came
in
third
out
of
the
five.
So
I'm
hopeful
this
one
won't
be
something
that
we
have
to
budget
for.
L
C
L
L
You
give
one
to
mac.
Mac
doesn't
get
one
I'm
just
kidding,
but
no
not
really.
I
didn't
break
you
on
mac.
You
know
this
integrated
planning
option.
We
have
it's
huge
for
us.
Like
we've
said
it
allows
us
to
take
that
burden
of
that
12
million
dollars.
We
thought
we
were
gonna
have
to
spend
in
three
years
on
phase
four
and
phase
five,
and
now
we
can
make
something
more
feasible,
whether
it's
15
20
25
years
30
years.
But
if
you
turn
to
there's
a
page
on
here
that
says
phase
five
original
cost.
