the first page just you have one speaker on uh page two new business number one this
would allow $101,000 to be collected uh in the smid above the RNR rate to support uh downtown
improvements number two would allow $12.3 million to be collected above the RNR rate to support
existing service levels in 2025 I just want to note that those levels reflect collect $1 million
in adjustments the council has already made to the budget uh in order to have us balanced and
living within the existing M Levy rate can you say that again sure um the uh the last part of it
is so this it would allow I'll do the whole thing it's it allowed 12.3 million to be collected above
the RNR um to support our existing service levels in 2025 and wanted to note that approximately
$1 million in adjustments have already been made by the council in order for us to limit our
expenditures to the revenue generated from the existing Mill Levy rate so is this the number
that we had back in the beginning of the year where we showed a much greater deficit in 2026
correct and remind us what the new deficit is for 20126 for 26 it's about three and a. half
million if I remember I think it says 3.9 was I couldn't remember the exact and that was after
the 3 million from the um permanent Reserve yes okay so you're balanced in 20125 but you've
made about1 million in adjustments for 25 26 27 in order for us to to be where
we are so when we were at the council meeting on Tuesday and I believe council
member uh Glascock mentioned some things to get accelerated in 2025 that's
different than this 11 million yes yes number three this it kind it goes
