So you're going we didn't do it We have the 5 to 4 for the agenda first up is for those words crew. We very to the people there here. We have to step on it. Is with just some of the values like what trying get What I issue for opportunity. A civil rights former educator. I rights. But also in the opportunity heard. I was one of the first director the state of ever see her. Because like something as simple really cool. It the shoes. Conference table.
Knowing you know, in region. If the comments so they oh, there's a stay. It's because it too. A lot guys that were used get the source important conversation with the of that. Get Good evening. I'm and with me a smile as harder. A total covers. 5 different personnel were Policy changes. Additionally, but here's what they sets. Is cost living when patient. Is covert fire, full rain ranges are a schedule salaries. Including the fall. The issue has been that for people have the minimum qualifications required for
their job, their salaries often set off a great man. Say traverse lives. She fired 2025 and on JANUARY first, she she received cost of living adjustment. What the salary range also received. Cost living adjustment. She goes for comes up to. So even and then I come in MARCH. The great now. So even though has had several months to maybe a year more time. We are now making the same salary. This has value experience that individuals have. We're staying in public service for your year and allowed them to advanced through the salary ranges. So proposal changes the location municipal covid where whole lives. If call it too people but gives
controller that discretion whether or not to add it to the salary range The second one just seeing story for salary offer offers year in this Cocoa, men's salaries. Final decision, story rest yours. A loud agencies offer us out a lovely are issues should gotten that far. However, the correct language. Conversations that are discussing is your role is to evaluate the salary offer relation the salaries of other somewhere positions across the enterprise, which individual agencies are not great. So this change, we realize the compensations hr in
conjunction current I love hrt. Final arbiter of salary offers ensure that there are disparities between departments. A lot more possibly slightly more flexibility other departments are smaller I don't want to create 100 graves with our enterprise where people are a. There are jobs that are more committed than others, although arguably job instructions, Today, a jury were selectively with agencies on salary offers and that will continue. There no intention change practice of having makes elders. It's essentially the language that support staff for us. Although some minor language cleanups and that section that just beyond the consistency and terminology that has gotten, it's a little bit outdated over. Okay? Section 3 is
relation to a county recognizes heard and result time nation program help employees were turn And great to Section pages. You paid time for their own serious medical condition.

So this clarifies those issues allowing us update you when we and provide direction to embrace were called for you and way pay went off. Those are all of our her post and board. I did want to mention that we back in the next month or 2 to make changes to pension options based recent Indiana General Assembly action, a positive opportunity for our employees. It takes sometimes a slim chance do get into it now, other than to say
it is amazing for We have over. So it's actually your is trying to keep coat too.

Attraction, retention tool the hardworking folks person front of things are. In a cancer speed on In the some of city say, Thank you. 18,000. It's been Erie County variance In something that is going. Not I can here to present your whole life Before it started. I just want to say very much appreciate and appreciate all the work. Yes, here on board So thank you for that. So I want to start by getting a little
overview, LaVar, 20. Fact, we received 75.2 million dollars earlier this spring. And that is for all eligible that are within county. So those down into our income tax based income tax rates that existed 2024. The allocation of column, dollar amount. So and called label allocation. Will see the father of 3 buckets are covid city having this discussion because those not utilize at bring time. You know, seat to the city county, our budget is listed in the for this right call. So looking a little bit closer. Distribution is only appropriate U.S. Abortion
first. Together council a station. So hold back. 0.1 million for 2 main reasons. Number one, to be conservative with our standing light of the gas tax holiday, Israeli taxpayers lower gas lower our is we have by setting foot on the side. We reserve the possibility address the shortfall in capital and slain underlying crimes. Now, I should also note that recently the media has reported that the state indicated they will pass a law local governments. Information on the poles passed. So we're making decisions at that time based on the best information we have. The second reason we are not all of the funding is there are number of other mandate sending an operational priorities that arisen. Do this when he and we are setting aside the they here
and get a better understanding exactly how much money you for donations. For example, are stepping parts is better than the bill. Really problem to have. But it means we too. I funny to that. Good for We've chosen not any tax which isn't unusual. Those times will be appropriate at the end of the year to address union contracts, leases that were negotiated late in Twenty-twenty. Knew that we didn't finish until 2026. Because and so they were fully booked. Additionally, do know that wanted to that year grant received then some higher over Texas the situation we were in making this decision. Why all of those times were out. Blue box on the screen represents c piece of the puzzle where
funds are in Through the different priorities of poll does Simon, by appropriations high. What what certain for this? So it's kind sitting around a little bit on the actual Starting care. They are having in $350,000 appropriation. A legal settlement it additional budget because of its size. Case is originally from 2021. And from is that current twenty-nineteen pretty old they were unable to absorb the cost because this summit represented 40% of last full Reminder, they just any period time. Next is I say, for $100,000 they have in server and the structure that was originally purchased federal funds. They haven't reached. They are reaching the end of their life less than a year and we heard purchase new equipment advance of end of
the current camera on the right each other. Turn Really overlap. The other issue is its release. And so we are going this year we would have to lease is at same time. So. Just this from additional cost to the budget for 27. Next is $600,000 for the Office Education. The Asian for Fun the fall of 2026. E-readers semester in the 2026 budget. I'm happy report that the program works with 500 students last school year and for students who were assessed at beginning of the year at the 31% had above average growth rate very successful

Need some money be able assess our buildings, identify what were the scene immediately what can be done in the next 2 to 3 years was a useful life starting to build up that capital plan. And having, you know, a longer-term look at what our needs are. So this is will help us of repairs plan replacement. We how to But
first, a silent really numbers. Take a little extra time to Originally that facility was has. And to the 2021 or 22 the city secure We received a 20 million dollar grant from Indiana housing well up next agency. I think I see it in 2024. The finish of the design last fall. In that time, consumer Midwest, Consumer Price Index has risen by 40%. And yet we changed budget of the facility. Our instruction cost. We hit the end of the design phase. So we have 2 choices. We really it's worked out first week Al project cost down reducing the materials that like going from steel and concrete to what frank construction. But given
the and the use of facility, we knew that more durable building materials allow this to long-term sustainable. The second option we had was reduced age that would have meant knocking out an entire floor of the for That option would have. But you for possibly the year, though she one alter function of what we're trying to Andrew do said at the scene of the crime. So that time the tough decision did advocate that we project budget. So this is Basically her Next is a million dollars for continued to commit the streets any program this time of Jen Richard Cole 8 million dollars for the next phase luckily able to our commitments of headway.

We start hearing and seeing the cost, if you will, the she pieces themselves and we identify they are pumping for Actually, they fox I think our Chance and filters are unable to make shocked and remove debris that will further damage share cars. And I'm a terrible, water quality situation. We are also dependent on our cooperation with other agencies like the health department the contractors.

Grant from the National Institute Justice here, 2, 3, contracts a question about percentage going to organizations and it is. Someone he just couldn't answer identify organizations and partners. On the on sight to so. The identify partners for why the right program. The u 1000 aggression. It is where says. And they've been partners with us for in various passes for a long time. Also shun recipients. And then currently for existing program that just started well last weekend for some of the city. We are partners but let them talk. And as we went through procurement process, trying find a partner we receive additional funds. We if you
are. A vote to get, give us a we would. We've already identified some other partners, other grassroots partners. So feel we do a great job and would prefer. Provide us with. Other locations and additional activities. So let them talk is providing youth with it. Detective eu's competition, gauging activities talking with one another and so we're looking at other sports activities. Are there other things that are used to want engage Thank you. I do. And I asked question, MADAM PRESIDENT, to share about the budget, obviously for 2026. And I didn't find those partners and those things And the super helpful saying and know, I had like those in a
deal in 2 vice PRESIDENT And I just want to shot of the training our our staff does. It work for the program? The incentives, equipment, everything to make feel safe their job is super important. It is very strange. I see her Might I feel safer now? Retired and safety. But right literally what that means the Lakers are traveling around and she is so sweet, especially the resigning, such a shock to all of driving all around the city and making sure that families are safe and cooling off. Thank you for that question. Vice PRESIDENT Time. Thank you, MISTER Control who director. And we seem also there's report from last year. Yes. And what if anything was that? Cannot give
you. Super specifics because there was. The list was pretty comprehensive of what they but they were It costs 3500 to do that we I 8 96,500 to repairs and updates. We have sent $1000 which addressed 74% of our media issues 4% of our short-term issues were is so like that. Some of the short-term issues that remain are more than the have left and stuff like, fact, some repairs. Some concrete work the front of the building. So we were able and with the money that we have for me, you Condit, we all the running and media issues. What's the payback period? One point Siri. That senator to facility. I assume, is into It
positive. Yeah. The report Sorry, would. Thinking that and said it is hard bet life from facility we next. Direction of I MAY. Talk about the parks permanent stationary, and those who are they made would be new campus. Of I can and our chief technology officers the roads and a look back to him getting the correct information. It hurting him. Recite Bel Air Park Park. That easy. We had some arson there. A it for us. Creek Park Administration building and Albert Park Center pool and the islands building and cool. Part southeastway Really the slide. Talk about vision of parks.
Reported dollars with The struggle that work is going Yes, and provide more details with property just after Essentially there are contracts that we got portion of our grass and trash MAY you are we also have support indication efforts from community partners from corporate partners as well as organizations like Indianapolis. The 84 Katie. There are still parks because we have so many of them. Nearly 220% that still attention that you would like them to see last year for the fiscal we requested. He is somewhere. I'm out to supplement and bridge that So this is to cover additional contract. So bring in on top of those partnerships. Used it you're okay. Might and do it
so one. Thank you for your visitation your partnership. A couple of questions. Thank you. For the 8 million that goes towards I infrastructure. Also thank you for hosting dollars that I don't want to overlook 3.7 million dollars that losing monthly because of what's happening at the state with our gas. And so this infrastructure it. That's an important piece of the past. My question is I see this but not in the not increases. So salient dollars Officially going to the Capitol said go, which sort of like it or It last year it was labeled planning committee just projects Why is it legal? It will streets should be doing something different. Was that
this year not so say this. He's just In the other question counsel that and some of public safety side other 2 things that I think most important safety infrastructure. Heard your comments about waiting until the end of the year. I think there probably things we can do at this time. It specifically around recruitment. And I don't think that changing our human resources going to lead to that I'm he. What efforts maybe we're taking consideration towards was our friend as cannot see to what it doing other than anecdotally. One of the top of They are revamping their recruitment section taking the staffing kind re-evaluate I are a lot of heat. Range or I cannot give more specifics. In
addition to really important for us as we consider was those and we look at I to wait hear teammates and there that, you know about We had that had a conversation with a whole a conversation I've some really cool things down and forward where they did essentially. Awareness campaigns and they're able to game 3,000 officer applications. Couple times. This is a really good time what is great reporting trend. Uses dollars hour and we offer that waiting until the end of the Maybe that has something going don't. But I think a prudent looking at opportunity as well conversations that we have in our they consider. Hope that those numbers up. Is seeing a states why they're just you.
And agree line first comment. Part of the spring fiscal package for members who sit on public safety Justice Committee tomorrow night, there will be a package for which we're making 2 million dollar appropriation to be sure we stay replacement We, you know, her pretty loud and clear. You know, condition of vehicle Zur. This council administration, a lot good work to make that happen. I got not necessarily pick up and want to continue replace those. Those vehicles were able to sell alongside the budget last year. But tomorrow night, public safety, there will be robust appropriation that to at least address one component work for day. Thing here you know, question live from see where end in a CHAIRMAN. Members of the
covid. I served director It is beyond sty sliver of proposed one out 400,000 members, Marion or Support Rise in support of Section 15, case the additional half-million dollars in the department under of the patient's So that's a huge priority for a strength in the city, strengthening the city's home And this investment represents for peaceful progress as Indianapolis continues to face housing, affordability, challenges has a 6% Hoosiers. 45 plus want remain in homes as they age. This funding will help ensure a safe, stable housing for residents ages. He does support set demand for owner-occupied repairs and accessibility, modifications continues to outpace available resources. More than 500 homes
have not been approved for the city's repair program since inception and nonprofit partners regularly manage. Leave us for this type of assistance. So better read this from them. We would recommend the city partnership. Community organizations explore options like establishing a one-stop shop for all that increasing, a local investment such so we can help households without federal eligibility constraints grants alongside for as well as invest in those local nonprofits stretch dollars. Thank you for your consideration. Support suppose your question on water. And very said that we take a second. Look, you know, a Oppose that or this 0 we're
worry. And just say 30 years they her hair done. This to me as we talked a lot about that night, everything else sense. Think it was a house the last 30 years playing baseball. I say for years MAY not have answers a. While. The U.S. Come back to this something that me, thank MISTER Apologize my heart is but I want to counselor and why is because I just met with yesterday about homeowner repair and they help those and 62 win And we're longer. And I have to agree with him. I my hometown home as well and not last 30 years. And do we have to wait 30 years before, you know, we'd be able to help It seems like we should Take a
look at And then I'm not sure how we got lie and then go back and do my research. I'm not sure there's a requirement in and there's income level, but think it's something that we definitely need to take a look especially giving giving. We talk about the how homeless issue that homeless epidemic that we had here Indianapolis. I something that we should take a look at. And then the other just last shot out to that director, Brittany Crown and all the work that they're doing. Everybody's talking about the parks and you name parts. I cannot wait. I represent district 15 on the Far East Side. So I cannot wait till we get all the amenities and we use castor. Well, as you Riverside, can't
wait till we get to that part site of an experience, the same type of parts that other I Marion County is expensive. And so Deputy Andre has been very good at just had a meeting everybody Friday. And so we're just work progress. And I bought it. You're like land just well down last Friday. So all of that is welcome thing so that some very excited about the Parks department and what what we're going to look like moving forward this. The possibly. It's taken little unreal there County and state of Indiana. 7, you're only consider on this proposal. People saying how the city very often actually average 3 years ago was 7 years. And that was an average when all the way back
to 1965. It's at the 10. So when you start talking about 30 years, sounds like a long time. With the Now their best a little longer to now we cause housing really important. It nothing any of you or any government agency can do to improve that other And we don't need stay tax money. Start talking about this project, 8 million dollars. Not a 30 year. Average or stay in their houses. Seniors. We're today to all those of a froze. The you just in just a little we you have a pretty loud, but I'm happy to get started. Want to thank you all for being here this evening couple seconds to say thank you to our cfo. Is that. Members to help year 13. Poll by friends
learn with Jones is here Leader did a dive into the numbers. Say no elected official wakes up and say let's raise taxes, heart rate. In fact, be so we have put in a effort into where we're at number one issue that we hear all the time. He is infrastructure problems we set out. That's topic continues come up over and over. So. It too, is that was a long term attorneys infrastructure and allows us to take advantage of that and a half a year will receiving from the state of Indiana the opportunities take advantage of the 50 million Dollar Grant. Stay has pop in the city of Indianapolis. This is our plan. However, nothing
is So they see it as want to continue the conversation. You hear proposal 3 different. I encourage you to follow along show All counties are welcome again. There not anything like that. So have ideas on how to make this better. We want to be partner with our callers and the administration to ensure that we get that delay and Ali, so that we can long-term a resource that we can tap into on a regular basis. I'm sure that we're facing potholes in the seeing? So with that said, know isis leader The PRESIDENT, Lewis, a huge steering members of the Ministry Finance Committee of those in attendance. Today, PRESIDENT This is your oldest conversation and this is just step Create your stations
questions about today. We review we're going to cover regular will will brief overview and perfection. These and current funding. We're gonna highlight some of those that say changes really the engine. Why are here. Details of one 92 pose a one. 92 be heard. And person rules and also talked about how that fits into a broader plan. Council as to the public as a public out those So first hear a lot that the PRESIDENT Fast, everyone, counselors from home. Think it's universally the issue. We hear the most holidays. True. A city currently invest in infrastructure needs year of proving transportation network fire. See full funding over time again. Infrastructure workers were combination. On, budget appropriations, one-time funding sources out
in the spring Additional predictable funding, strengthen long-term project planning and live. So oftentimes we're talking about the infrastructure challenge is that our city is facing the often talk about centrally mile or so miles. So certainly road funding formulas rely heavily on Centre Lane We that you have the 2 lane road bi-directional flow. You know, government is compensating. Provides Same for a road that, for example, MAY have 6. Right. Perspective, this city Minneapolis, we very rapidly very were hundreds miles miles county of the 8,444 tolling. So the city of Minneapolis, by and large to the state road funding formula compensated. Distribution is about 40% of the mile. So we actually are responsible for So then the next slide will kind of be able little overview of where existing resources are coming from. Again pose a one. 92 is
focused current local fees. These are user fees that were put in the local ordinance in 1992. Have not been touched since and proposal. One 92 is not. It's implementing and up is raising So currently passenger vehicles trailers, 9,000 pounds or less Crow Co a light trucks, 11,000 pounds for us in way they they want formula. That is 10% other race assessed for 1996 1996 state legislation came because raise half. But allow, you units like county county governments like ourselves to continue to assess those vehicles from United States. France. So when you look at your vehicle registration fees right now, county side, a
counselor and pay 20% of that. Well, because you're paying 10% a number to have fun at That is also very confusing. Does not provide a somewhat stable source revenue. We'll also same time unless you have your vehicles. I have you trailers and heavier trucks and those recess last few days alone. What's important to note that the Eagles pay the surtax or wheel tax, not both. So I think oftentimes we put this issue to talk about whether it's on one side Market Street or the other commonly refer both of them has the wheel tax. But what is important is you do not pay both of these You pay one or the other. And as you can see from Collier right now is
generally based off of the weight of the actual vehicle or the addresses. News 100% of the revenues restricted by state law for road reversed. Revenue generated by the in U.S. Are taxed cannot be used for other purposes interviews. The fire stations can't use by police cars can be used to invest in our parks has to be used roads. Certain vehicles are government vehicles and makes sense. Certain religious organization, buses funeral. And that is used for people for purposes. And again, these fees are assessed when you register your car every year. Next slide spent too much time on this. But this is a snapshot from the budget we as as discussed in previous proposal, we do receive large portion of our infrastructure funding right now, the gas suspension of the gas tax is a very serious concern. Why? That's why, you know, the
council administration did work closely to jury putting funding aside fill fill gap. But right now we were receiving about 15.7 or for whereas in 0.7 million from combination of the surtax and then we'll a reason that here past 2 years. General Assembly tell you can but has been particularly busy as it relates to infrastructure funding opportunities for the city of Indianapolis and funding constraints on local governments around the state of Indiana. There's still House Bill one or for use as you want, really set the stage for day. It provided 50 million dollars funding opportunity. The city of
Minneapolis, others, a local It also provides equity is in row funding formula that gauge a little bit further in a second. Also increased our low capacity to raise revenue through those dedicated revenue sources. In about 2025, the Legislature also passed a Senate rule at one has kind of put pressure on local governments, rely less on property taxes and more taxes and other user fees like the wheel tax and the surtax to in order to me, basic services. Fast forward this year said that one 79 revise eligibility for the bash match shining certification rules and house rule 12 10, which kind of the companion of sca one, made some additional changes to how local governments received funding. These are things that we're actually still trying to sort through. And now all of you on council will remember that we're finally was 44 million
dollars last This year's budget excuse me because of the impacts of sta One and then next year would be the first year eligibility wishing Good morning, So again, 14 61 graze happy to have those 50 million dollars new funds. Equally State Road fund. Subject to require second change distribution rules. Better Foley mileage. Line Senator filed for part of community receive matching grant Formula. I encourage everyone watching to go online and take a look at the road funding formula in the state Indiana. See that it was a spaghetti in shape. That is very challenging. Follow community Pressings is one piece. So the new community grant matching grant program as a number of things, you
will continue to preserve the ability for local units government for not to get matching grants and save money. The second part of the formula is a 50 million dollars. City Minneapolis is poor and a 3rd. He's a tertiary east of formula provides local units of government balances available that here to distribute it among slow years ago. Based off total, total, late, it's important to highlight a saying is policy with the state doesn't have work by current administration. Every counselor and a certain apps City County Council. Every state representative every state senator represents this county, not not just other advocacy organizations try provides more representative distribution road funding formula for our city. And it finally at local capacity contest. Really the new structure is senator role at one 17. So it's important to talk about 40 61. One 79 very
important because it changed. And number. So again, 14 61 originally it was written that we put it that the but the red we get that from the state. If are at you to say the state this year change measure requirement hasn't passed away so next year we have a match. 50 million in in the 29 20 3100 million the future as well. It also requires the city must notify the state comptroller. End of the calendar year each year that they can provide the national by where the funding is coming from. The opportunity continues until the first unit. Indianapolis cannot provide requirements and that's critically important. 4 to 6. You want to not have this language. One 79 adopt this and the easiest way to
say that there's no mold. In Twenty-twenty. I we provided we know come back 2030. We're just the site. Doesn't need to a sustainable source of revenue on budget. That is to ensuring that we get this money every year and maintaining and the firemen that this must Recently. Served by. We get the little match. The state transfer hers and preserves our ability to receive it in the future. What's also important is this is an all or nothing. A vision. So we do get put tent and get we to put a 15 15. We've 49 million in change. We here. It's all or nothing full again. The sizing the importance of providing a sustainable long-term strategy. And fully recognize this big opportunity for a statement. 92. It is a tool. Of plan. What this store permanent amount of infrastructure funding permanently into For
those who want it buy says those those values are these that we talked about previous life brain. That the well, to a flat $100 and a vehicle last 1, 200 again. One vehicle face one charge I and the surtax for attacks. A provision also includes to accountability First requires by city Council with the next year's or that information out of the budget process for this time for Melissa state law and again and second to that. A state certification that communication between the city whenever the end the stakeholders in the city. That does this for the city comptroller communication is providing the council and public and also identifies the sources and uses for that. So
again, this is for summary of current and proposed changes under pose a one. 92 again, owners eligible vehicles registered Marion County at the time of Registration or Renewal. Hate us directly. This is not property or income tax, a proposal I should be able registration, not the value of the vehicle, nor does is assessed income tax time. The size again. Revenues restricted for transportation, infrastructure, not be treated general purpose. Senate. It also important to note that residents can verify current a county vehicle user be in the boat or you're like me. As your vehicles online see. Received itemized receipt under a tree. One. 92 for council infrastructure estimated share
additional revenue. Under existing allocation Formula. One 92 is also estimated generate substantial revenues for other municipalities Marion County. County be actually put to our own version of for me. With everyone in county being assessed at but their allocation percentages given to city even in Syrian county and our sleeves season, including towns that is a formula, a 60% of population percent based on what you can see the city of Indianapolis proper receives the lion share this Sunday, but other municipalities in in in the county sees me also received Ez has to make revenues for the season when it has a lot that. Because the numbers that we're really focused on at this point is the additional revenue. It's PRESIDENT Wanted to just manage. Enter a just under 71 million dollars next year with 65 million comes
from surtax. Seen those 6 million comes from the heavy vehicle tax initiative number of registrations the county. And council plan place this evening. Assessment revenue in all the years are finding a summons to make changes based on. So what that state and no action is taken. Doing, think does not cause truck. Continue learn structure infrastructure network receive state funding facing higher long-term maintenance cost. Started by nasa 50 million dollar. State transfer becomes available features answers right wrist. Roadway. Infrastructure requires ongoing investment particular, particularly as a significant share of the transportation just rehabilitation place. Talked about this council the struck up plan post that we're
discussing is up just point. The council appointed local funding other resources her streets. PRESIDENT Streets, Asian network 92 straight state transfer revenue growth, budget efficiency and that Les Miles crucial. That here in a second. But doing so allows the city to continue investing in Mesa services like police, fire, trash, do other basic services So that this is lot of information, but we're going to get through that our our plan build off of the work that we started doing last year. I would just growth in existing sources of revenue. So that 2027 number to 10 million dollars from last year. Here is that over initial 10 don't grow at a
minimum next year by another started in 2020 days because of a house rule that close to we re looking at structure which will allow for additional efficiencies, believe. That would be able to reset. Minimum allocation and using because these are very concerted That is a very honest analysis of where we are out with the public as having conversation. This is 855 million over a five-year period we hope. While the water it a work by vaccinating budgets. Much for infrastructure. Surtax and we'll tax revenue within a 7, 1, 9, 5, number that you saw on that the next year. We're saying that's going grow
nominally what mean by that challenge. To estimate year-over-year have registrations change what we do expect that that will grow. But this is just showed action not make a face off direction, houses or anything like that. Next up. So that new local revenue, that's the state. Those are the benchmarks that we're moving in and you'll see that we are over funding for vote. That because we believe that's really important. Have a 70 million dollar issue really for 2020. What were of the public is? We're doing everything we can to address the top here our constituents. Also we have to plan for sec. We don't need to do get to 2029. We had another economic crisis service for bit another pandemic and you're forced to do a whole lot of not a whole lot of money. We want to ensure that we are fully
leveraging the 50 million dollar investment from the state the millions dollars. And this Les Miles distribution at that first year part of formula from the 2026 capital government estimated 4 million dollars a year. I think those estimates are could be higher. And it's also, you know, a function of For example, no localities. Used to fight for community crossing, matching grant. All of that money flows down to 3rd part of the formula so we could get more. And good for you says we obviously want to be able to provide real dollars projects that are being planned right now providing additional dollars toward thoroughfare programs out years. And then additionally as part of our
plan, we're meeting sit in my We understand we're asking residents of our county to pay more. We hear time and again at issue the streets are condition of the other houses worse. We believe that we do more about them. So this grows to about 65 for 65 Million. By 2030, perspective are putting around 20 million dollars current next year. We would crippling for residential street program. And finally, you live. Counties especially have those You know, the condition of the alleys are really about. And we currently have no dollars currently program in the budget to address tallies this time before his for regions through spring that put money toward Ali program. Things seem that wildly successful and reflective infrastructure that our constituents are using. But we believe that part of the dressing just how that
once not lie there, it's important to note plan. Require future collaboration with the administration and future administrations fire collaboration with members on this meeting with and one by seasoned public assembly. Right. But this is a public accountability. Got focus on the next 5 years. Why? Because we that 100 million dollars 2030, whatever again, this is just summary of what we've seen on glass slide. But we this your knowledge of next 5 years. And the council members plans, course, the currently 85 credit program 27 29 or buys more than 200 million dollars annually permanent. Infrastructure funding. Indians 2031 not currently
exist. Infrastructure needs are often supplement one time pistol. Actually what we've seen with first principle, wish to make long-term planning scheduling challenging, providing more predictable funding source for infrastructure needs refers during West Village, regress murder inquiries, project's future, one-time investment strength this morning process reserved. And just worked to know that we should be putting every dollar can for infrastructure. But this opportunity that's in front of is so large you be able to pull this but gets a sure that they that you're serious about So this is for view of where we're So we're under finance tonight. We will be in public squares on Thursday. Same conversation. We'll be in rule the following Tuesday over
officers use me public Policy Committee receive similar presentation. Conversation and words. You maybe patients that the fbi visit. Felt pretty heartbreaking. And we want final passage of a full council on JULY 6. With that, MISTER CHAIRMAN, I appreciate you being In my comes questions. The years and really disease question is where committee from that point, I something as a signs MAY time to and get projects in my neighborhood, not been touch and foresee not be a minute here. So I you MAY have questioning, but we're going everybody for all about my response. Think CHAIRMAN That Bowl One. The funding that we are seeing some other things require a plan to ensure What I will say is when we put more money into
infrastructure system the idea that a rising tide lifts all right? We currently are spending and we spending by 4. Projects that part of the way out right? I think that's the idea part of reason that projects are getting done over generation is because we are putting up money for infrastructure. So to be able to hear and see 25 districts will receive They do. Now to capital plan. I say we're going to multiply that by 3 with what doing here. Not that much. But all districts receive additional funding. Right? We'll have to be 100 that's a requirement. If
around that is for nasa from less work it tough bills. One neighbor 3 to cars. Just my way here. I counted $400 stuff. And I think very much for good guys are fun that is any cause? I think that that's i think residents also recognize they are. Paying for this one. Every time you plus entire get your party lines, you working. Is this. This plan does not mean we're never going to a whole tonight. But we'll What does refuses to accept that? Just how it is favor of uses 6 at close paper and a time when 50 million dollars on the table from Real progress on permanent basis in the budget. So we really
chipping away backlog right. And so we often do it. You have a landing, right? Is we issue people we should The bonds are part of the ruel part. We be able to do to be able reach the 80? Playing miles in our county. We have the program more dollars in the budget. We have to provide certainty say to the state. It get is where the state's 2 forcing to taxes 100 schools have to have a referendum this year because see certain so still like to say I'm still it started. It was determined to do too much diverse as more. This is a is responding on that. So I If these with this why. Not taking action is a very significant because in the last few years I threw tires, which one year is more
than cost of this increased in. So that itself is one. Is the we face every single day with aging infrastructure in a match on billion dollars because people at before us never fear the action to raise taxes, to invest in our infrastructure. A case situations where we just have a significant business on a basis. I live in a neighborhood very intially that walkable families walk back work to archers your school. A section of the sidewalk 3rd and I constituents mother who was grandchild. Around the block fell because of problem that suite of the year is not only do we have a risk manager to our cars. So we have a rescue unit herself so we invest in is what we're saying to vision lens is yours. Ad desire is
for us. What your safety is priority for this. And so we have to take action. We have my hat to meet this moment to make sure that we are getting these dollars that the state have finally put for us to achieve. That happened is as you better than I I leave in addition to this just personal safety risk and risk to the community. There's also the long term this is here in were sorry, destruction against in greater their We have from Art Van in are Army from are ready agencies Yes, raises reporters, Larry or so largest financial. Is it even Steyer. So one of those understand not only these individual risk
face in Waukee on sidewalks for city the race resumed our ability on and to have our credit worthy. There we go market. It's very so your natural, so. General as MISS Out a German Jones, others, which have to insurer. That is 50 million dollar match with a that we've that. And we were successful in maintaining the dollar to the budget. But the great is that And so this as a leader, as you very clearly and you're It was 5 years route, 50 million dollars last year. One, $200 match. Only 2031. So only achieve that get is some going forward. If we had a clear focused in sustainable plan to I just want asking for country general on a plan that and the that that suggested he knew
this out taking this action. I'm not knocking And just seeing that that is a plan, I believe cheese is over. You want. So I'm asking you, is that accurate or senator in how this is playing second years before? I always say percent accurate. I think nearly our plan, provides the resources that are necessary shooting that. Well, stay this year can achieve that. We get count dollars. We don't exist program. We're we can. In words, a plan, additional position. There's easy answer saying that we can achieve this year. One and not only
for years, 2 earlier by nasa is about to whomever new year will after the 20 tons of elections and that individual in that council member, as you say, as a privilege is saying these 25 cities, we'll have to continue to make these charges is year after year after year to make sure we're getting the mask. Get 50 million dollars in an ongoing basis. And so to be responsible, we need to make surely for sustainable durable plans and nasa I was I would guess otherwise movie agencies conversation. Thank Thank you. You The blaze from history. Of the around streets, 3rd world country. I do think there 2 raising tax of one of the questions I have for you is on as nation of
additional revenue. There was the years for a 78.0 million. Its first office that what we're going to get. That a tax, everybody else that you're running around, you know, that the year. Yes. So the the 17.0 95 as Welcome to the auditor to the extra 7.4, 4 is getting distributed to the 8.0, 29 misstated that. You how this is going to people make more If we did something like this, if we had time something gradually went with whatever side we have come to and what we heard tonight. That same tonight. Is night be close as tight always. We don't yet. It also it's a part of What we're
doing, what we're doing to the session mean we get But to get up to 100 and 100 million 23 ones that were We have cars on the streets of Reagan had that was Ashley Are we going So The route, the the thought process behind why the Rays are the way they are is that in 2020 and 70 now and that's the part. We said heaviest vehicles, one of most they should be paying their fair share. That's I mean, that's the right there. And then use throughout zone for that that's what if that's what the passenger We do believe that with the increase like this, and that that is a relief we were not minimize what that We're also saying we find 7, right and we have to do the
hard work with on a annual basis. The age of those higher numbers, right? This is have walking the had or I'm what? Was like? Just scary numbers. Really? 20 the 1.7 per one. 28. What we should be doing, the hard work of continuing find places where can. But in light of that ca one. There just isn't the but there resources be able do that, right? But you should be able to go to community and say that's the for doing the work. That means that we're going to have to really we should do. So I understand the policies want to provide want to somehow tied to inflation
adjustment. But think given that hasn't touched, is to increase right. And we have a responsibility public. Also to time a version that, you do findings later the budget, one, years. We still get just was a very guy that said you are throwing money around and had no He said. Number one with okay. Just their budget because they should based on I was would say that they don't have proven house and said that it an honor. So there's no reason should be 2 years, even money. And later. It And I thank you for your hard reasons Haitian on this. I think it's long overdue. And conversation that I frankly
and candidly. Should occur. Probably the public. A longer timeframe, not just over the course public settings. I appreciate everybody who's here tonight on meetings that Engaging the public or all of the evening. Very tightly packed, difficult And so I just want Friday councils that are helping here tonight. I think we definitely have accessibility equity issues as we assess that not everybody can to have a meeting at If you're on vacation as a citizen of Indianapolis, those your voice will not be heard the public hearing process. And I find that disappointing. Policy. I feel the title is investing in. Indianapolis is infrastructure. Look at it. I
feel that the burden is really on another and on a user's, which is I'm not necessarily concerned about. Equity and how is apply to small business owners who have fleece. 2. As CHAIRMAN Area friends, those of us who have it is older vehicles the same on a 2026 for a new vehicle versus overrun. What you said. Time something. Little seen hybrid in our approach where we can maybe spread that burden to all users of infrastructure, not just those behind the because I think there are in trailer site was advocates. Who is they? We want help support our fair share to not entirely have this on our small businesses and families who I think MISS The most. A decision kind of stepped through the presentation. Ask
question this couple. Missions you the businesses in attacks be very significant, especially right now the cost fuel. And it's really difficult to operate a small business. I had a conversation with the constituent about the cost of doing business and some people as business owners, half the cost of business on to their consumers days. But I'm a lot small businesses, especially West side. Clear them? A lot of those and this would hurt them, especially a small county company who had flee and vehicles agree with my colleagues and constituents that the state sort of put us in this position, right? Kind of dangling a carrot of really what I feel is sellers. I believe we pay our fair share
here. The city Minneapolis. But we warm it is I agree she counseled Nelson's work on this because we do have to leverage this of the Linux eyes tax forward. But I I don't old move is We need maybe with hybrid approach. I MR. CHAIRMAN. It was a Clermont appreciate the annual convention of over a million dollars. Our towns need that I desperately. So this is something that I think would be incredible. Not I know it's either a both sides and that's what infrastructure I have our hands tied the U.S. Forest decision makers in years. And so my questions that be asking on their stadium, you will be this amount of money and actually it projects and get
word out the door. And what are we doing as we work the administration to make sure we side that is a love that operation do we have? Setting Soliz that really specialize. Trained experienced engineers to do some of this. Even just contracts were. And you might public works asked more questions a ditch. Thank you, court today. I appreciate Sir. Wells, some of her concerns. I think I I want to address. State law does not allow us to target. So we have the charges are all passenger vehicles. So we can charge a brand new vehicle, one right and 10 year-old that to assess one fee. We're gonna so I wanted to kind of address that because to be able to do but always is is is very, very challenging. That I also say
that. Again, not to any way overemphasize the impact of Sta One. Ca one was primarily a business, right fail with some relief for residents very much as we see that shift. All right. Tax for going from that fire out of One of the state making policy decisions for us to say we do, you know, relentless and property taxes more on user fees. We know that the vehicles many of those leaves no longer because of exemptions. Another phase out for paying It's still using the roads he and that was where all the questions
that the issues I want address your comments question is what hearing. I'm curious you local income tax and something similar to counselor Valerie was alluding to, it Gradually hybrid both of them. Raising the income tax is equally as controversial. Great yeah, because I the public. Is this a user fee? Is 100% dedicated thing pay for. For says we could raise income tax. We can cut services or a hybrid of all of those things. We think this is the one that is. In a vehicle. If you are, we're going to be deteriorating of the infrastructure. It's right. And I think that that's the is the theory behind the user fee itself and actually,
I think preserves the ability for future councils and future administrations to disappointed in the budget because this is a dedicated user for that purpose. Was they can get some news see as well where you Very, very just to come in for the public with Here's a super majority say The force army no know if we don't early will be are much told us that. So you are. In in the public needs to be directed to the super majority said And then again for and and the scene. Very little from as an alternative to the mayor's plan. And this the most diverse flushed down drain. So commend you for being so proactive. If do is have sustainable love. What concerns me about the mayor's
already been mentioned. It got into the end of turn. Losses no true. What to do. Years 2, 3, In model is sustainable. The numbers have the calculations, find get years. Wonder if used to go on I think that's what is very respectable. Question. Also opportunity to dresses one. I hear the most. The deadly arguments and that is this is more of repressive this most people would prefer progress. We. It lower socioeconomic. Wells will be paying more cities lies versus those who own a brand new car. Like one we cannot do that and why we are forced to make it a regressive model. Way that state law authorizes our ability raise revenue here does not allow us to do it way we have the that we have. We
have to choose a rate that supply every classification of beautiful weather surtax wheels actually get a flight to France embrace. But but is this passenger vehicle weatherize a brand new bmw or it's 15 year-old on this is right. We have to apply the same raise to those vehicles. That is that is something that's out of our power as that's authorized by the state. We have no choice and being able to provide more targeted fees to get to your very, you know, does something a bit more then the maximum right And you can is you've been working on this for quite some time and Say but outside with my questions I was a proposed
1, 9, and what was before right and one minute and think about was what we do. To match the state. With that being by you MAY and see. I understand the way that is says he decided It is readily available $240 online. The businesses. But when I think about that average, everyday person. Around, you know that around and they you know, their chance More people not revealing their registration makeup, possibly part where MAY not lose that money has happened live today. Right now. I understand MAY not be as high coming to but we think about it patient referendum. That's you property taxes things like that. That's a
question. That's role of a concern. So why we that saying, okay, we've got race a little but weekend friends is something on top of when they not be around license plate taking a chance the side of a So I I just a question to you. What we found money that the state is came Yeah. I think for staff I you know, a It's incumbent on law enforcement to be helpful ensuring people are are registering vehicles. Urge everyone not to do that because that's what that is is very serious. I will say again, though, the provisions under Senate rule 79 is it user lose it. If you know, we don't have all you don't get a
partial match. This isn't that we're just trying to get the full 50, but we can get 10, right? It is an investment that otherwise, unfortunately in the capital plan, we will hit cliff and the conditions of our rose. We will hope every day that they look the way they We that is that is a reality that we're facing because the vice PRESIDENT Said. There's always been a good reason not to Now there's incredible sense of Judith Enck should Part of the that the roads in the city look the way they do it since 1992 he said and done enough. And that's indictment on one person has a diamond on several administrations. Several 100 counselors But this is an opportunity to, again, as I presentation to
reject that reality to not accept the status quo, that the condition of our roads need to be this way. It is a responsible plan. It consists with that community. Can't hold us accountable. Appreciate the fact you and the presentation that we had had a raise since 19. And so and then that really. This party, you know, because says can counselor. I home of my students a phase of what happened to my taxes that pay good money. Says since 1992 everything heads the price of everything has risen. So I thank you for pointing that out. Thinking taking money areas. I'm very much the Asia the work that has state in I say wow, understand there's some Some concerns around eye that was just relays and goes
back to the but not the word. And that has with ph And so will thinking about trying save money from what has saves lives. I would be strongly it's totally against that. And one counts well questions about people not mandate was to make to the House. 5 We do have a couple other not saying we're going to do one more. I'm the outsider like I had to leave. Be hurt. I'm a big fan of board. And so the space is an and contacting my elected official. So I encourage everybody to a family to firings. It's modified cousins. It you want always e-mail if you can't come to
meetings, got counseling make your voice because just as you cannot be PRESIDENT Does not that we cannot hear but you're not contacting Then we both the way we're supposed to vote because we're not hearing from stations. Make sure that put that out Idea of a Haitian these we had the You can still back and watch we do have And suggest everybody contact and counselor to let them know you have to express how they feel about his proposal. Thank you, MISTER Chair. World. I just wanted to come house and was And that's crazy. Said one thing. That something we said we don't do something about
this 10, 20 years from now. I think realize we generational. Time saying of snow for more funding for roads and by far another issue to hear about What he said I was going back to status quo is not working team of the year. Worries what we're doing right this port men reasons not to do it, quite frankly, $100 cash. To point to last I exactly where the money going, all the reality is because the road fund for hours for our city, it's going ruin. This is first was generations of disinvestment for those. So saying there's thank you very much from this is super important Well, covered the that you don't, ours are and you good. That's a really good because it about time 100,009. Just just under that. I think it's
likely to a 792,000 a city of Indianapolis to take our cities and towns. First back to Don, the heavy vehicles there about 20 times it says that so that the years when given to raised by that we needed to 71, 9, 5, 7, $1. Why are we making got busy. Because next year is used to not only but perspective the There 100,000 registrations, right? For every $5 You raise about 4 million But there are rights. It's like if you backtracking right? The differences we were just making the Just making 50. Is that we can say theres dollars? Time? That's next year. Go up to top of more we
can, dedicated fishy and put more money for infrastructure. Now. To be able start putting infrastructure right doing so is that 70 year history? Has I was it side wall? A couple this uses sidewalks What's disease is for wind advisory for trees, highways but sidewalks. You correctly state mind comes from state of Indiana, $50. It's the use patient that is used for for for fraction the road Here's Money your heart for that. But you know, some projects times. Thanks, Leon Street, but it's not that space is interesting me is really look at a very sexist are coming You've got one. I guess right now, right where there's their ability Texas this because of and that
Sunday? But so the for I reference those across the state that are going to her. Even I would be sure is reference school funding this year so those communities are going to see those things that I'm sure multiple districts across area property taxes. We're seeing. Talking about funding sources. Majors as 27 to 31 that you correct that there's an expected increase in your plan as well? Because we also have it really raises about yes, change in structure came ca one. It was was still waiting hear you really have work on next year. Fell from 10. I think combination of that he is four-time. We're doing a lot right. Sizing our budget. And that's 2 years
down the does not include public increases. Just just that we probably most comprehensive ever done to structure of the budget sense house, right? So there's going to be a real opportunity for a It reset a lot of ways. Start for online. What are we doing Because the way structure pretty We're going of course, you always a now. Is that? That's going work. Was interesting that they just focusing the sabal, you know, the 70 million match and just a time with that, we still have you know, get every year 100 that 13 that changing when is ability to raise lit and what I want to be just I would clear that is expected for is
lane that conversation 28. And we have is that there's a reference Sherman's schools Windsor Township are going go up because that workers that this coming this year from 28. Instead, that's a lot people especially in the fact property taxes. Like the nation Tuesday property income taxes or people are making pay or so. We have seen additional dollars come tie in light of the ice news for my as council that I mean, I see that the other regularly for years terms road where there's been, you know, and they party for Biden or so. Say that fire station of close unit was not on the city budget for our
role is that jurors say is issuing where I do my close it to council today from our office hold 2 years county was standing across every agency public by one percent. And it go with more of civilian dollars-and reallocate rose. And so I think there's more than just We have the option taxes. What point hospitalization anything? There are challenges. I would agree. There are challenges. I'm not best part Miles. Look at all. But as result of matching and news that if test you, it can dollars that we have sense infrastructure in this city. It's a okay, just the PRESIDENT Will be used,
any of those dollars can be taken for their Santa rose. And that's why was program with that heard conversation because I mentioned just a handful of taxes there in the next years that are sort of have it because of those to say it is a reality. What we've got is consideration. We're looking at what we're going to do. What I see is it to see pairs and knows that and try specifically in cost 3 dozen Miles. It's so funny early on on supporting a sort increase people because I think there are dollars that we could is say. That would be in those measures. And additionally, I think that part of cousin We have the ability, charges, certain
dollar. He there's little Were. You display strength for the vaccine, right? It doesn't actually is. It's $100. This is get for 17 Greg, you're ready our way to what we Hopefully it it They are not people who other birds coming in parts of town news of the concern really early on in this conversation. What I really want to see compares involves cost reduction other parts every 4 weeks asked going talk to Mike he was a good you get the money, it's just those who were always getting I you what I did mine he needed hear. One little sliver to a lot of probably the same for everybody. So there were signs of that. As far we know that can justify.
Miles right schools. Is important part of my own. And that's what we're looking at here. If we're going try and, you know, compromise. Because I don't housing work on trying costs them today. Wouldn't. Sure. Appreciate those comments and it wasn't comment. But addition ones that right, so and you know, when the budget growth, lot We also, for example, our strength this go dollars operations. Some people in the U.S. I think it's existing sources discuss issue now that growth, the ability do that this pressure. I don't disagree with the I think what's going on and one of our partners, I think some of those previous models that would process work has actually preserve were cars. Also that there's only about
500 million dollars 1.7 million dollar budget. True for We 1.7 billion dollar budget. But there's really only about a half a million that has the ability use for a general present statement. And so when we're looking at cutting those sources were not necessarily just looking chess. We are delaying construction fires. We are delaying purchases vehicles for police those are the real thanks for way going open schools, I'm not saying if this doesn't pass, though, that's where we're headed. Right? Because this is a 50 million dollar opportunity. We have the leverage because the number one here about issues is the vice PRESIDENT And the size, largest risks to
the I just say it's easy. Saw times just say find the money in the budget. Cut. Really want to emphasize public. If you're 1.7 million, 500 million dollar That's a little over And those dollars are also being allocated for spouting What is the Doesn't need more efficient. Just also want to there's just not time on the around should have received. Looking at that. And that's what I know who are committed to Never seen numbers But I want to be really clear, just like. What that means. Relative size a can somehow sense. Going back to cancer heart. Way that we with me having one of the developing area. Is there a way kids? It is Islam and to Hess, I hard to be a part of budget. We did want bring that you know, to like I said, I
represent one of the areas also because of the amount of fatalities that we're continuing to see with kid runs. And I do think sign very important as we forward. I was a counselor that utility fund those things our ability to we do everything else to write. We want to start talking about chip away the sidewalks continue to try to invest in our plan on Vision, 0, for example, to be able to do those things. We also have to take care of the day rolls. Right. And that's what this plan is really focused on is is taking care of the rest right ability expand those things that our budget. We the money has obviously to come from somewhere. Right? So that's the ongoing conversations. I think that
that the hear about from our constituents to the side. And so, yeah, a St. Was it. This to the public comment portion have pay for his proposal. Like name public. Route in order for everyone to have patience. Is important that each of are Each speaker be limited seconded. Public comments must in the so we kind of Next their comments. Used to cost structure. Comes that some time. The speech for time part to advise PRESIDENT Now we you that they come so you don't think they will. And now
to what can the campus. Even public comment and are we have signed up with somewhere migrate. Are. Air. It's a grim just I state is going stand right hold case. Yet only number 24 neighborhood hash 6 It's Problem lead it. And this time it's places that to me, you a search no potholes. So are having do it. And these warning that they use.

She they is worth 1000 this is is that too bill just that then should to us. The how pay times pain. A need make looking us here in it It's are we say is a she is. If you're driving. My counselor. Same time, the cyclists rider driver to drive here. I do want to say that since 1992 now have cars got
more fuel efficient, which means that last per mile on the road, Rose, they've also become more heavy. In fact, when you look at the stats, the amount of damage that cars due to the right now versus the 99, 2 to 6 on ways to more. So when you talk about like a when first talked about Roseanne used be like this. I mean, go back to 99 to ensure that one of those sports super but ever trucks out Finner they like it. I do want to say that drivers seem to want to have eat it too. Those are expensive right now. Subsidize part gas, taxes and registration. Please do not pay for evidence. So asking you to pay their fair share million. That doesn't get us
all the way. There's still fair share be paid by tribes in city. Counties community the should pay too. And also folks who have formed by cars. I don't feel a lot of sympathy, but we have a 70 million dollar budget year. Maybe we could think about car for folks who are struggling and MAY not have much money, right? So that we so have we will about 50 million year. We figure out how to get the 100 billion 100 billion dollars by 2031. That's percent of that discretionary popular million Bay mentioned. So it's right. 20%. That's a huge amount and most recovery programs to get there to subsidizing cars even more than they already are. Right. So. Tracks bicycles. Like that's what we got. A big challenge. Downballot end of the Rima you know, having to
work. There were man true. there are mess. Well, red line, we're sure. Ladies online. And and a police state trying It is not your keys. From school school or median, the eye and their allies Hariri is stepping in, but it can slow traffic down. What's the use of that? That sort of thing just like Louisville correctness plan rather that. Slow traffic down with controversy arose. We through the glitz and the coach Payton function Lastly, my year. Is. And Well, it's not You know that It was a slide that you showed we match increases over time. And you said, you know, in order to meet the match, you really examine the budget. I believe you said that
examined the budget to see if we could lead match, even though the rates are not going it in. My correct. If I understood you correctly currently use it. Okay. I heard you say. Later on in the discussion, there wasn't much in kitchen. So it seems to me like how can you examine the budget? And there's not much in the budget to make that local match. I guess I'm confused when he said those 2 things that seem to contradict each other. And also, you know, rely the South side. And there seems to huge disparity the roads as far what's on the Southside and what's on the side. Travel on the North side. They go nice road that there's no chuckles. I mean, beautiful. But you do here on the south side on and in
places horrible. Why is there such a disparity between the 2 sides of the city? We shouldn't be. There should be no matter what kind of economic class you're there should be equality across the whole city and or shouldn't be such a disparity in the way the road to repair. That's my comments. This is very much was thank you again. Thank you all for being here for it. Comments and thank you, MISTER CHAIRMAN. And one high. You council hardly do need walk and chew gum at the same time to get me to live within the opportunities or it's important that we understand that we are. Have see him leave?
