birthday party for the United States in 2026. podcast-host

Well, our 175th birthday is 2027. podcast-host

And when I'm looking at what you said for phase two is that wouldn't be done until the fall. podcast-host

And so that tells me July 5th is our city's birthday. podcast-host

And that sounds like that would be an issue as well. podcast-host

So I wanna understand the timeframes. podcast-host

I do know the person that did this settlement, they were part of the BPAC. podcast-host

and so I'm very aware of the settlement and what happened and why, and I understand putting the two together and doing it in phases, it makes sense, but I wanna make certain I can feel comfortable that we're still able to have either what we want to in Central Park or that we have an alternative that's more than acceptable. podcast-host

Thank you. podcast-host

Thank you. podcast-host

Very quickly, I had made the same note about the business license tax. podcast-host

I guess we all went looking for that. podcast-host

Also on the unfunded pension liability, podcast-host

I know the idea has been to chip away at it and I was trying to understand about where we were because I was there in the same presentation and I know on the BOSCA board that we looked at the CalPERS and they did better this year and so we've just set aside a certain amount each year but it does change depending on how those pension funds are doing. podcast-host

It's interesting to me how the room is empty of public on something that we have a lot of control over, the money, and on things that we may not have as much control over. podcast-host

There's a lot of interest. podcast-host

You said it very clearly here, but I wondered if there's a good way for us to make the point that this is a one-time surprise revenue so that our residents don't think that we are squirreling away all their funds and not using them, if there's a way to just make the point that this was a surprise one-time larger amount. podcast-host

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PUT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AROUND OR SOMETHING, BUT MAKING THE POINT THAT THIS ISN'T, WE CANNOT PLAN ON THIS EVERY YEAR. podcast-host

THANK YOU. podcast-host
