Hello, everyone. Welcome to the August 17th, 2026, 1 p.m. Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee meeting. If we could start with introductions with Mr. Delaney, I would appreciate it. Good afternoon, y'all. Bill Delaney with the Mayor's Office. Brandon Russell, Council Research. Mary Stifopoulos, Office of General Counsel. Heather Beaver, Council Auditor's Office. Matt Carlucci, at-large Group 4. Michael Boylan, District 6. Good afternoon, Tyrone O'Clock, Murray, District 9. Good afternoon, Chris Miller, at-large Group 5. Greetings from Council District 4, Kevin Caracom. Ron Salem, Group 2, at-large. Greetings from Council District 7, Jimmy Palooza. Nick Howland, at-large Group 3. Thanks, everyone. We're going to start with public comments. We have two cards as of right now, and the first is Dr. Linda, I believe it's Grooms, and followed by Carnal Oliver. Is Dr. Grooms here, please? Yes. If you would state your name and address for the record, please. 224. There it is. It's working now. Okay. Dr. Linda Grooms with the Unity Football Classic from Tallahassee, 224 North Martin Luther King Boulevard. Yeah, thank you. Please go ahead. Okay. I just made myself available because I noticed that this particular issue is being withdrawn, and I didn't know if I needed to respond in any appropriate way. This is Mr. Palooza. Okay. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Okay. Next is Mr. Carnal Oliver. Yes, my name is Carnal Oliver. Address is on file. I'm glad that 2026-0541 was deferred because for me, there's no incorporation of the 1866 Civil Rights Act included in it. A lot of money has been dished out to people who don't own the land in the South. Everything in the South belongs to black Americans. You want to know why I say that? The Southern Homestead Act. A lot of immigrants who come from Ellis Island, they gave you a land allotment up there in the great Midwest. And most of them still live there. And the problem is, is that in this city, I want to ask some fundamental questions. My first question, ever since 1969 or 68, when they consolidated this city, how much money touched the hands of foundational black Americans? I want a tabulation of those numbers because we got ripped off because we own the real estate. And number two, I filed a lawsuit against the city dealing with the 1866 Civil Rights Act. And the biggest problem for me is that I'm your landlord. You're my tenant. Every dollar that comes into this city, especially associated with projects like this, has got to go through the landowners. Most of y'all are immigrants in a region you don't belong in. My lawsuit was targeted towards the general counsel's office, the mayor's office, even the city council president. He didn't return his civil service summons, but the mayor did and the general counsel. And the one thing I'm going to say, if she bucks me, she takes me through an extension 20 days. The match you get is 120 days. If she play these political games with me, the one thing she's going to find out, she can kiss her re-election gone. Because I've been taking a light on Democrats. But the more I'm learning, the more harder I come down on you. Because the one thing that I'm learning, none of this land belongs to you immigrants. All right. Thank you, Mr. Oliver. Do we have any more cards? Okay. Thank you very much. That concludes our public comment period. Before we go into the agenda items, I do want to make just one general comment. I know we're in finance committee deals more with these type of issues and interactions. But I just want to make a general comment. Just like to request that we all, as best we can, we're going to have, especially during this budget time, when we're going through some sometimes emotional issues. We go through some back and forth, maybe with parties who are affected or stakeholders who are affected or with members of the staff or administration between the council and back and forth. Just like to ask all of us if we could just keep in mind if we could all, as best we can, be as respectful in our comments and our interactions and where we can see opportunities to calm things down or to be careful about the words we choose and how we interact with each other. So that's just a general comment. I've been watching different committee meetings and interactions with different people. Just like to request that, especially of our committee and as we go into the other actions associated with the budget process that we're all involved in. So just a general, general request, general comment. Thank you very much. We're going to first go to, since City Council President is here, we're going to first take up one of the bills that's near and dear to his heart on page seven. It's item number 11 and it's 2026-0574. Got to get a motion on the bill. I have a motion and a second on the bill. I'd like to first go to City Council President Howland, please. You're recognized. Thank you, Chair Miller. I appreciate it. You all might recall in my installation speech, I noted that my passion has always been job creation. I mentioned manufacturing, logistics, aerospace, defense, marine, space, medical as industries that are particularly suited to support Jacksonville families and also Jacksonville veterans. Thousands of jobs are coming to Jacksonville. And Ed Randolph in the audience knows that, not just to Cecil Field, which has been another passion of mine, but to the north side, to Talleyrand, to the south side. The Stand for Service Act that you're about to vote on now ensures that 10% of all new jobs created in part by a city rev grant will go to veterans, guard, reserves, and active duty spouses. It's important to note that veterans earn more than civilians. They give to charity more than civilians. They also vote more than civilians. This is a workforce that we always want to grow here in Jacksonville. There's another part of this bill. While we're adjusting the city's public investment policy, this bill also adds Cecil Airport alongside Jacksport in a provision that gives preference to companies relocating and growing there in the PIP. Cecil and the port are two gems in Jacksonville with unique economic development potential. That's why we're taking this opportunity to add Cecil. So when we introduced the Stand for Service Act, it was during America's 250th anniversary. We're just getting to vote on it now. But I noted my installation speech that 10% of Americans served during the Revolutionary War 250 years ago. They delivered to their posterity the greatest country on earth. 10% of us serve now. And they defend the greatest country on earth. So the Stand for Service Act shows that Jacksonville will always stand up for its 10%. I think there's no room for argument anymore. Jacksonville is the most military and veteran-friendly city in the nation. And I see a very important reason for that, a head nodding in Harrison Conyers. So would appreciate everybody's support on this bill. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. We'll next go to past President Carrico. You're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Hats off to you, Mr. President. I just want to be added as a co-sponsor and regret that I didn't catch it in time to be added as a co-introducer. But I support it wholeheartedly and all of our military service families here in the city. Thank you. We'll next go to past President Carlucci. You're recognized. Okay. Anyone else? We have Council Member Clark Murray. You're recognized. Thank you, Chair. Through the Chair to President Howland, I just want to make sure I'm clear on what you said. So you're saying that CECL, when you say CECL in the bill, CECL should be given additional positive consideration when evaluating potential public investment policy. You're saying that they should be considered when there are new companies that are moving to Jacksonville, that they should be considered as one of those locations for them to relocate. Through the Chair? Yes, ma'am. That's exactly it. There's actually a provision in the PIP right now that says other considerations. And under there it says for companies wanting to relocate in or around Jaxport, they will be given additional consideration for incentive because Jaxport is an economic development engine for our county. I just added with the second part of this bill, Jaxport and CECL Airport. So it just basically adds CECL Airport alongside because I think that's a particularly valuable growth engine for Jacksonville as well. All right. Thank you so much for that. Thank you, Chair. And through the Chair to Legislative Services, please add me as a co-sponsor. Thank you. Seeing no one else in queue, I just want to make a couple comments. One is when I saw this come up, I was excited for obvious reasons, and the City Council President just articulated most of those things that made me excited about this. But I did some research also on most of the larger companies and where they stand right now. And I'm happy to say most of the longstanding companies here in Jacksonville have already achieved and surpassed this goal. So this isn't something that's a stretch or something that those main employers in our communities will have to really work hard at. But what it also does is sends the message of we do value our veterans, we do value the military, we do value their spouses, and any new company that comes here or a new presence that's established, they know what that mark on the wall is to be in line with what we've traditionally done in the business community throughout Jacksonville and to be recognized and proud of being considered the most military and veteran-friendly city in the United States. And so I'm excited about this, and I think there are other ways we can focus to do similar type of things. So I thank you, Mr. President, for this. And with that, please open the ballot and record your vote. Eight yays, zero nays. By your action, you have approved 2026-0574. Thank you, Mr. Chair. You're welcome. We'll now go to the front of the agenda that's published. We have quite a few deferrals, and we'll just work our way straight through the regular agenda. Item 1, 2024-0966 is deferred to request of Council Member Carrico. Number 2, 2025-0361 is deferred to request of Council Member White. Number 3, 2026-0227 is deferred at the request of Council Member Diamond. And number 4, 2020-0318, I believe, we're still on this particular one with the withdrawal. That's the request is a withdrawal. Do I have a motion? We have a motion, second, on the withdrawal. Anything you would like to say, Council Member Johnson? Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was asked to sponsor this bill, and looking at it, there were some nuances that needed to be corrected. And so I asked them to withdraw so it wouldn't sit and clog the council agenda. And we'll bring it back at a later time when they do have all the information to me. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. No one else in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Eight yays, zero nays. By your action, you've withdrawn 2026-0318. If we turn the page to item number 5, 2026-0320 is deferred at the request of Council Member White. Item number 6, 2026-0377 is deferred at the request of Council Member Johnson. Item 7, 2026-0541 is deferred at the request of Downtown Investment Authority. Item number 8, 2026-0570 is deferred at the request of Council Member Boylan. And item number 9, 2026-0572 may have a motion on the amendment. We have a motion second on the amendment. Ms. Reber, would you please explain the amendment? The amendment is to attach a revised Exhibit 1, which is the BT, to correct account information. Okay. Thank you. No one in the queue. All those in favor of the amendment signify by saying yes. All those opposed, no. We have, well, no, one no and withdrawn no. So, the amendment passes. I heard some ayes and said yeses, but I think they all count. So, the amendment passes. May I have a motion on the bill, please? I have a motion and a second on the bill as amended. We have past President Salem in the queue. You're recognized, sir. Through the chair, I was going to ask Ms. Brochet just to come up and explain the bill. It's a lot of money. Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman. Committee members, through the chair to Councilman Salem. This legislation is the result of 2026-2013, where you all approved a mechanism to set aside, I guess is the best way to put it, in a contingency funds. I didn't say my name, Anna Brochet Finance, to set aside funds for any unfunded future incentive obligations, so long as there are unfunded obligations. As we go through the process of finalizing our annual comprehensive financial report, our audit, the floor for any amounts that get moved is the 2024 unassigned fund balance number. And through the chair, and through the chair to Mr. Salem, you included an additional amendment to that very bill to have another floor of belt and suspenders of 17% of general fund revenues. And so, as we're winding down the audit, we go through the motions of understanding, are there unfunded incentive obligations? And if there are, what is the unassigned fund balance? And then we determine any excess revenues over expenses in that audit would be committed above those floor amounts. The bill that you all passed, 2026-213, required that while we were disclosing that commitment in the audit report, when it gets issued, that a piece of legislation would come before you to actually move the funds in the system. And that is what you have before you today. Thank you, and I believe, just for clarification, with either our general counsel or auditors, I believe this was based on, in the reference Ms. Brosset made, was Council Member Layton's bill that was introduced and passed requiring what we're doing today. Is that correct? To the chair, yes, that's correct. This is Council Member Layton's bill. Okay, thank you. Can I continue? Oh, yes, please. I'm sorry. I thought you were kind of after that response. No, no, it's okay. And the 17%, I think, was the amendment that I had. Is that what you were referencing, Ms. Brosset? Through the chair to Mr. Salem, that's exactly correct. Now, just a question. If there were not any completion grants or other obligations that we, the government, had, what would happen to this money? Through the chair to Mr. Salem, as has always happened, any time we have excess revenues over expenses at the end of the year, it goes to operating reserves, unassigned fund balance. Okay. So that's where it would go if we didn't have these obligations. Yes. Thank you. It's still going to reserves, but it's committed for future unfunded obligations. Thank you so much. Thank you. We will next go to President Howell and directing us. Thank you, Mr. Chair. For Ms. Reber, we confirm that this is related to Chair Layman's amendment that he did, his legislation he did a few months ago, and Councilman Salem's change is 17%. But I note that last week, Chair Layman indicated in the first finance committee that he thought his intent is to try to refund the $26 million public safety protection fund with an amount over the 17%. Is that not right, Mr. Vopoulos? Okay, you know what I'm talking about? And does this movement of this money right now to the JXSF completion grant jeopardize that intent? Through the chair, Mr. Peterson is approaching the podium. He's probably the best one to address that. I tried to give you about a 30-second heads-up by text. I appreciate it. Philip Peterson, Councilor, through the chair to Council President Howland. So what Councilmember Layman was referencing is in the nine-months quarterly summary that we just released last week, JSO is projecting about a – the general fund as a whole is projecting about a $29 million favorable variance. And so replenishing that $26 million, if you will, that was set aside for public safety through pulling from operating reserves, because we expect operating reserves to go up in the current year. This $33, $34 million piece of legislation ultimately has nothing to do with that $26 million. That's what I needed to know. Thank you so much. Thank you. We'll next go to Vice Chair Clark Murray. You recognize. Thank you, Chair. I simply wanted to reemphasize with this particular bill and the fact that it's by code, and we all mentioned who was the author of the – by ordinance code, and who was the author of the bill. But just the fact that it will come back to us and that appropriation of any of these dollars will require legislation. Thank you, Chair. Okay. Thank you. Seeing no one else in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Eight yays, zero nays. By your action, you've approved 2026-0572 as amended. Go next to item 10, 2026-0573. We have a motion. You may have a second. Motion and a second on the bill. Seeing no one in the queue, please open the ballot and record your vote. Eight yays, zero nays. By your action, you've approved 2026-0573. We've already taken up item 11, so we'll go to page 8, item number 12, 2026-0575. We have a motion. May get a second. May have a motion. Second on the bill. Seeing no one in the queue. Pastor Mr. Keriko, do you have any comments, or are you good? I didn't have any, but since you asked, sure. No, I'd be happy to just talk a little bit about the organization that is located in my district. Many of you know the executive director, Michelle McManaman. One misnomer is some people think Operation New Uniform is simply a way to get people suits for job interviews. That's not at all what they do. And if you go and visit, they'll explain that it's really a transitionary program for veterans that are either aging out or retiring from military service or have previous military service and just finding their way through the job market. And these dollars will help with their case management so they continue and continue and continue to be with those veterans as they go on into the workforce. So it's a great organization, and I hope you will support it. Thank you. We'll go next to Councilmember Peluso. You're recognized. Thank you, Chair. I've known Operation New Uniform for many years. I've known staff. My father actually helped with some of their resumes for a lot of veterans. I would love to be a co-sponsor on this bill and support my dear friend, Kevin Kerika. Oh, man. It's almost like Valentine's Day up here. We'll next go to Councilmember Boylan. You're recognized. Very nice. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I, too, would like to be added as a co-sponsor. I attended one of their graduation ceremonies, and I did have a great appreciation for an impact this program has on our veterans. Thank you. Very good. Well, I was a graduate of this program about 11 years ago, so you can imagine what my thoughts are. And my wife used to work there as well, so very proud of her and everyone involved in helping our veterans and their spouses, because there's a spouse program online and in person. And they have expanded, yeah, I'll get it right, expanded their presence in the Tampa area as well. So lots of veterans and current transition military, they can go as long as their commanders allow them the time to go through the program before they transition, which actually is preferred. So thank you, Pastor President, for introducing this bill. We'll go back to President Howland. You're recognized. Yeah. Thank you, Chair. For the record, I wanted to note that someone brought up during public comment that a member of ONU's staff is one of my board members at the Firewatch Project, Inc., and I checked with ethics, and there's absolutely no conflict there whatsoever. So my board members aren't paid, but there is a member of ONU who's an employee there who's actually on my board. The way that the Firewatch board works is we've, rather than have donors on our board, we have folks from influential veteran-serving organizations, which have helped us expand rapidly, including Wooded Warrior Project and Canines for Warriors and others. So there's no conflict here, which is why I am a co-, or why I'd like to co-sponsor this, and I can't dish enough praise to Michelle and her team and how great Operation Uniform has been for transitioning veterans. Just a wonderful gem of our organization that started here in Jacksonville and is now spread out to Tampa Bay as well as Nashville, Tennessee. So fantastic organization for veterans. Thank you. Thank you. We'll next go to Vice Chair Clark-Murray. You're recognized. Thank you, Chair. I'll complete the Circle of Love, and I'll co-sponsor this as well. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. With that, please open the ballot and record your vote. Eight yays, zero nays. By reaction, you approve 2026-0575. Next is item 13, 2026-0578. I have a motion and second on the amendment. Ms. Reaver, could you please explain the amendment? Sure. The amendment will remove extension language within the bill and correct scrivener's errors, and then attach or revise Exhibit 1 to remove the line item budget and the extension language within the term sheet, and include capital expense descriptions in the term sheet. Okay. Thank you. Is this on the amendment? Okay. We have no one in the queue for the amendment. All those in favor of the amendment signify by saying yes or aye. Those opposed, no. The amendment passes. We have a motion and second on the bill as amended. We'll first go to past President Salem. You're recognized. Thank you, Chair. And I stated this this morning in rules. I think this is a positive step for those that are coming out of Trinity. If you pass by this area, as I do multiple, sometimes multiple times a day, six, seven days a week, you see all the homeless out there during the day with all their belongings and such. And it's quite a sight, particularly as we, during the heat of summer. So they will be able to take in, I believe it's 55 people. I'm not sure that that's going to solve, anywhere near solve the problem of what's going on on the west side of our downtown area, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. I hope at some point we can have a separate type facility for people as we do for Sulzbach or on the east side of downtown. But I'll be supportive. Thank you. Thank you. We'll go next to Council Member Peluso. You're recognized. Thank you, Chair. I would also like to be listed as a co-sponsor of this bill for two reasons. One, I'm the HIC liaison, and this is one of the first bills to finally come out of the HIC, so very grateful for that. And Trinity is in my district, and I believe that they do some pretty darn good work with very limited resources. Thank you. Thank you. We'll next go to Vice Chair Tyrone Clark-Murray. You're recognized. Okay. That would be it for the queue. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Seven yays, zero nays. By reaction, you approve 2026-0578 as amended. We'll next go to item number 14, 2026-0579. I have a motion and a second on the bill. We have past President Salem in the queue. You're recognized. Thank you, Chair. I expressed a lot of concern about this bill this morning in rules as I'd had a discussion with the Inspector General apparently a few weeks ago on this organization. I had a discussion with him between rules and neighborhoods, and he's indicated to me that this organization has solved all their issues other than the co-mingling of the money, which you can't go back and solve. And he believes that they're okay now. And so it was deferred this morning, but I'm ready to move on it personally and will be supportive of getting them off the list. I hope in the future that the Inspector General can work with grants so that there is some communication on organizations like this so that we know that they've cleared it up or they haven't cleared it up, and we can take an appropriate vote. Thank you. Thank you. Go next to Vice Chair Clark Murray, you recognize. Thank you, Chair. Chair, I concur with past President Salem's comments. One thing that I've noticed in my time on the council is that there aren't many foundations who, unfortunately, they don't comply ever. And so in reading this bill, I noticed that they did attempt to comply in April, and just like what was emphasized earlier, the fact that in the analysis of their report, that there was, as he said, commingling of the accounts, which is not something that should be done. But just the fact that you tried, if there's someone here representing other than the council member, I appreciate that, because there are many organizations, nonprofits, who have received many more dollars than you did, and they didn't make an effort at all to do any kind of report or audit and submit it in a timely fashion at all. So I appreciate that. And for that reason, I am going to support the bill today. Thank you, Chair. Thank you. We'll go next to Council Member Boylan. You're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I suggested deferral this morning as well, but given the information Councilman Salem just shared, I also discussed, I think it is appropriate and hopeful, to work with the auditors as well as grants on taking a look at our noncompliance list and seeing maybe what kind of path, or at the very least bringing it back to the various committees, a sort of state of that process as to where we are. I'm, as you might well expect, as an advocate for the nonprofit sector, the important work that they do, and I don't want anything to compromise the credibility of that, of their work in this process. So I'll be looking forward to working with those individuals and seeing if we can get a better handle as to what that list looks like and what we can do to minimize that list as much as possible. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you. I really enjoyed the discussion, not only rules, but also here today. This is my view of how things should work, and we're also focused on the here and now, but also looking forward to always see where we may make the processes and systems better than they are right now. So you've all expressed that, and I appreciate that very much. So with that, please open the ballot and record your vote. Seven yays, zero nays. By your action, you approve 2026-0579. We'll now go to the introducer. Council Member Johnson, you recognize. Mr. Chair, I just wanted to thank you and the committee. I came in case there were any questions. I also wanted to recognize Dr. Garrett, Mrs. Figueroa from the Grants Department, Mr. Ellis from the Made Away Foundation, Dr. Krisnar from Kids Hope Alliance, and Mr. LaSalle, the Inspector General, all of which who came in support of this. Thank you, Dr. Salem, for asking those questions. And I didn't know what was happening to it after I saw and heard about the committee. I wanted to make sure that they were all here so if there are questions that are asked, they could speak to them, and they will also be available for finance tomorrow. But thank you for that, Mr. Chair, and thank you, colleagues, for your vote. All right. Thank you. And for all those you mentioned who showed up, in case your expertise was needed, thank you for attending today. We'll now go to item 15, 2026-0583. May I have a motion on amendment, please? We have a motion and a second on the amendment. Ms. Reber, would you please explain the amendment? The amendment will reference an additional cleanup item in the amount of $235,000 and increase the total appropriation to $1,976,527. We'll attach a revised Exhibit 1, the BT, to include the additional cleanup entry and correct scriveners. In our pre-meeting, as this was explained to me, this is a straightforward accounting cleanup measure. And I think that's the bottom line here. So unless someone has something else, I think this is another one of those that is stated in the narrative here. Okay. No one in the queue. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Oh, excuse me. On the amendment. Yeah. I wanted to move it through quickly. All those in favor of the amendment, please signify by saying yes or aye. No as well. Any no's? No. The amendment passes. We have a motion and second on the bill as amended. Yeah. Now, please open the ballot and record your vote. Seven yays. Zero nays. Member Action. You've approved 2026-0583 as amended. We'll now go to item number 16, 2026-0584. We have a motion and second on the bill. We have a motion and second on the bill. No one in the queue. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Seven yays. Zero nays. By reaction, you've approved 2026-0584. Item 17, 2026-0585. I have a motion and a second on the amendment. Ms. Reber, would you please explain the amendment? The amendment will clarify in the bill that the cost disbursement agreements are between the city and an affiliate of the developer. We'll attach a revised exhibit two, which is the amendment to the agreement, to clarify that a default under the cost disbursement agreements between the city and the developer or an affiliate of the developer will not constitute an event of default under the redevelopment agreement and correct scrivener's errors. Okay, thank you. No one in the queue. All those in favor of the amendment, please signify by saying yes. All those opposed, no. We have a motion and second on the bill as amended. No one in the queue. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Seven yays. Zero nays. By reaction, you've approved 2026-0585 as amended. We'll now go to item number 18, 2026-0587. We have a motion and second on the amendment. Ms. Reber, would you please explain the amendment? The amendment will include the referenced exhibit one, which is a legal description, and we'll place the city of Jacksonville real estate purchase agreement on file as referenced. Okay, thank you. All those in favor of the amendment, please signify by saying aye. All those opposed, no. The amendment passes. We have a motion and second on the bill as amended. So you know in the queue, I did want to mention something, and I just want to put it out there for food for thought and see if any of you have any thoughts on this. In a previous unrelated bill, when it came to the matter of eminent domain, if memory serves me right, we placed a requirement that if there was to be someone to exercise eminent domain, that before it occurs, they would come back to this body, the council, not the committee. I just wanted to throw that out there and see if there was any thinking on the relevance of such an amendment for this bill as well. Any thoughts, by my colleagues? We'll go to Pastor President Salem. You're recognized. Thank you, Chair. Council Member White could not be here today. He asked me to kind of watch over this bill for him. He did not mention anything about any changes to the bill, so I think Council Member White's preference would be to move the bill as it's written, but maybe the auditors or OGC might want to say something, but he did not, and this did not come up in rules this morning. Mr. Chair, if you would like me to add. So, the legislation is only adding one additional, it has one additional affected property, so the council approved this overall legislation, the project, et cetera, and the need for going out and obtaining ownership rights or easement rights to the various properties back in 2024. They identified one parcel or one property where they needed a different, either a different easement or a different set of rights to be obtained through the process, and they are working with that property owner to address that. So, I doubt that this one additional parcel or this change would ultimately result in eminent domain, and I do think at the time that that bill was discussed more recently, the nature of the project, I think, was part of why the council felt very strongly about adding that additional provision, because this one did come up in the context of that discussion and the type of project that it was, I think, led the council to lean one way on the more recent one versus how they addressed the Chafee Road project at the time. Okay, thank you. Yes, that's very helpful, and that does put this in context or perspective, especially if it's just pertaining to one particular property. And, by the way, this is written, the focus is on actually what level you can go to for the purchase of the property. That seems to be the focus and the appraised value. So, yes, that was very helpful. Okay. Well, I'll drop that, but I just wanted to, anytime I see eminent domain, I must tell you, I start thinking about property rights, and I start thinking about, are we going to move forward? And I had mentioned before, there was one business, and a lot of us know this person, that one of our independent organizations exercised in the domain. And they had to move their headquarters and cost them a lot of extra money through that process, and buying new property, new building, and setting up their headquarters in another location. So, I get a little leery when I see eminent domain in anything that's coming before us. So, very helpful. Thank you. No one else in the queue. Please open the ballot and record your vote. Seven yays.
