And here to speak on item A6, we are in strong support of this.

Thanks for the recognition, Mayor Pro Tem.

I have just a couple of questions and they might bounce around.

On slide number 19, you mentioned the market study.

What is the timeline for completion of that?

Will it be implemented by October 1st or is that going to push us into the next fiscal year?

Okay, and so is there not

across the board pay scale increase for employees because the market study will show that some of the salaries need to be increased and they will be increased through that method?

Okay, that's helpful.

And then I wanted to ask how our credit rating is doing.

I know we have had discussions around debt capacity ongoing since the last budget that we adopted, but I'm curious to know if our budget stabilization reserve has been solid and if our credit rating is holding steady.

That's good to hear.

And then my last question for now, unless I come up with some more, is going to be the mention of the four-person staffing.

So is the fiscal year 26 to 27 proposal going to change four-person staffing?

Okay, because I had seen it in the reduction list and it was saying if you change the reduction that's been forecasted, then it would increase the deficit.

Okay.

That's helpful to know.

I just remember the last time we had talked about it, we wanted to make sure we were addressing that comprehensively and making sure we're communicating with our fire department and understanding, you know, what staffing levels are needed and making sure that we have every person on hand to make sure that when it's needed, when there's a structure fire, that we've got ample staffing for those situations.
