question Mayor we've got uh two pretty weighty items one is a is the introduction of the
international property maintenance code which would be a new code adopted by the council
and that would make us consistent with our other codes or most of our other codes in being in that
uh school of or that class of international codes and then the second item uh is related to the
budget and actually we'll have multiple items you we're asking you to review the um uh tactics
to achieve your strategies in the budget and also some outcome measures uh associated with your
budget goals and then we're also going to review um some uh budget options for you to uh move
give us some direction on balancing the budget for 26 and 27 under the two scenarios that
you've instructed us to follow and then there at your request we put together some information
on a potential sales tax and um information for you then to to maybe give us some guidance
or at least have some discussion about that that's all I've got here so it's two topics that
we will be discussing at the May workshop um I just wanted to make sure because I know that
there's a funeral or a celebration of life that's happening that Tuesday morning and we
know that this is weighty and we're going to be participating in this but we thought there
was one more topic was there no other topic thank you city manager any comments from
council members have a great weekend
