Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners · Board of County Commissioners Public Hearing - 6/23/26 · 24 Jun 2026 meeting

So although I appreciate you raising that, we've already covered that a part of whether or not we feel comfortable making that decision, which you all supported as well.

And then affordability.

You know, another reason in addition to responding to your ask of me to bring forward scenarios and what would it look like to the point that's been made, this concept goes back to 2009, 2010.

Since that time, as you know, we've encountered a lot of inflation, cost increases as well.

So the cost to do business from projects that were designed 15 years ago and we have experienced a slowdown in revenue, we have to rethink this with respect to your pause and affordability.

And our team has put together options that one respond to your directive with me and then two that we feel will still allow us to provide services based on geographic need.

And that is option three.

That is our preferred option since you're asking.

But we want to hear from you because we do feel like that option will allow us to save a significant amount of dollars, still factoring other projects as well.

and then also look at other options that we need to consider.

So I just want to call that out because the feedback I think is getting us away from what you asked me to do.

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you got my two cents.

There are nine of us.

Hold on, let me get to Susan, because she hasn't spoken yet.

Can you make it clear?

Yeah, I just wanted to say, you know, there are nine of us, and I'm certainly on the side of we need to give you clear signals.

I'm giving you my clear signals.

And I know the costs of doing business to help poor people cost more, but that's our commitment.

Okay?

Let me go to Commissioner Rodriguez-McDowell.
