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
