HE SPOKE UP ACTUALLY, THROUGH 2024 . SO THE NEXT TIME HE IS ABLE TO COME BACK AS 2025, BUT HE'S DONE A VERY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK OUT. THERE REALLY LOOKS [00:15:04] GOOD. THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO TO CLEAN UP THE GRASS AND THE GET RID OF SOME, UM ROTTED TREE STUMPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE OVER WHAT? IT WAS A BUNCH OF WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH THE TOMBSTONES THAT ARE REMAINING THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT THEM IN STORAGE? OR HE RECOMMENDED THAT WE LEAVE THEM THERE SO THAT THEY BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHERE EVERYTHING IS PLACED. THE BASES ARE THERE. HE DIDN'T THINK THAT THEY WOULD BE . THEY WOULD INCUR SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE IF THEY WERE LEFT THERE. OH HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS JUST TO LEAVE EVERYTHING THERE. OKAY AND WHAT ABOUT THE FENCING? SO THAT'LL THAT'LL TAKE PLACE NOW THAT HE'S OUT OF THERE, WE HAD TO DELAY THE FENCING UNTIL HIS WORK WAS FINISHED. UH I'LL HAVE TO GET WITH MIKE AND THE CONTRACTOR TO FIND OUT WHEN THAT WILL OCCUR, BUT IT SHOULD BE DONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. WE'LL HAVE TIME WHERE WE HAVE TIME TO PAINT DEFENSE THIS YEAR ONCE IT'S UP, OR YEAH, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT IN WITHIN THE NEXT. PROBABLY THREE OR FOUR WEEKS, AND I THINK THAT WOULD GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO LET IT AGE BEFORE THE WINTER HITS, SO I THINK THERE'S TIME YES. THANKS. AND THERE WAS NO MEETING OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS COMMISSION. IS THERE ANY COUNCIL MEMBER LIKE TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ANY CORRESPONDENCE OR COMMUNICATION RECEIVED SINCE OUR LAST MEETING. I DIDN'T HAVE ONE COMMUNICATION REGARDING TAYLOR FARM AND THE BIKE BIKING SITUATION THERE. THERE'S BOILER . IT'S THAT PUT IN PLACE AS YOU ENTER INTO THE PARK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT AREAS DO YOU ENTER, BUT IT HAS A BIKE WITH BAKER WITH A GREEN LAWNS. ONE OF THEM SURE KNOW, VIKINGS SYMBOL ON IT , SO THAT HAD BEEN SOMEWHAT CONFUSING TO THE RESIDENTS THAT WERE TRYING TO BIKE OVER THERE. COMMUNICATED THAT WITH ADRIAN. DO WE KNOW WHEN THE BOLLARDS WILL BE REPLACED, AND WILL THERE BE SIGNS PUT UP? THAT BITING IS ALLOWED? UH YEAH, THERE. I DO NOT HAVE A TIME. DO YOU HAVE A TIME? NO BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE ON ORDER SO THERE WILL BE REPLACED . SO THE BOLLARDS AT THE PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCES, SO I GREENSWARD HARLEM ANYWHERE WHERE IT'S JUST LIKE FROM THE PARKING LOT. THOSE BOLLARDS SHOULD JUST BE NORMAL. PLAIN BOLLARDS WITH NO SYMBOL. THERE ARE BOLLARDS WHERE UM, THE PATH LEADS INTO A BOARDWALK AND THE RECOMMENDATION THERE IS THAT YOU WALK YOUR BIKES ON THE BOARDWALK. AND SO THOSE ONES HAVE THE SYMBOL, THE NOTE BIKING SYMBOL THAT THE OTHER ONES WERE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THOSE REPLACED WILL BE SCIENCE IN THE PARK WHERE YOU ENTER THE PARK AND PARKING HERE THAT BIKE BIKING IS ALLOWED DOGS ON LEASH. YOU KNOW, WHENEVER THERE IS A SIGN I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING IT SAYS RIGHT NOW, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AND SEE IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATIONS WE NEED TO MAKE. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SOME FOLKS ARE CONFUSED AND PEOPLE THEY'RE BITING THROUGH THEIR CONTACT. ME SAID. THEY'RE GETTING MEAN STAIRS AND SO AND OF COURSE WE HAVE BIKE RACKS EVERYWHERE. YEAH, PROPERTY. THANK YOU. I'LL ALSO JUST ADD TO THAT. THAT WAS ONE OF MINE. I HAD TO. I JUST HAD SOMEONE SAY THE SAME THING TO ME TONIGHT. UM I ALSO HAD A RESIDENT HERE IN NEW ALBANY COME FORWARD AND WAS INTERESTED IN SOME PRIVATE DONATIONS FOR A DOG PARK AT TAYLOR FARM. I KNOW. I MENTIONED THAT TO JOE JUST TODAY . OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THERE'S SOME RESTRICTIONS OUT THERE AND MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT I THOUGHT THAT WOULD AT LEAST BE WORTH LOOKING AT TO SEE IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY. ON THE HOMESTEAD PIECE. MAYBE IF THAT'S THERE, BUT SHE WAS WILLING TO MAKE A DONATION ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND I WILL SAY I SEE A LOT OF DOGS OUT THERE. SO I'M ASSUMING IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA IF FEASIBLE. YEAH. AND I WILL SAY FROM EXPERIENCE RIDING A BIKE. ALONG A WET WHAT DID SURPLUSES A LITTLE TREACHEROUS, SO HE'S SUPER CAREFUL, SO PROBABLY MY WORST BIKE DIRECTOR EVER WAS IN THAT SITUATION. SOMEHOW I IT WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT THE BRAKES AND MADE IT THROUGH. BUT OTHERS DID NOT. BE SUPER CAREFUL, EVEN IN THE MORNING. WHEN THERE'S LIKE LIGHT DO THEY CAN BECOME PRETTY PROBLEMATIC. UM MR I HAVE ONE OTHER THING. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE TIME TO DO WHATEVER WE WANT TO DO IT UNDER COUNCIL. COMMENTS AT THE END. I DID MEET WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL OUT THERE ON BEVEL HEIMER CONCERNING THE PICKLE BALL COURTS AND THE NOISE, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT NOW OR JUST WANT TO SAY THAT TO COUNSEL COMMENTS. HMM BEAR. OKAY UM, FILL THAT WAS PHIL JOHNSON, WHO WAS AT 75 98 BEVEL HAMMER ROAD. I KNOW WE ALL RECEIVED THE EMAIL. I DID MEET WITH HIM. UM, VERY NICE GENTLEMAN ACTUALLY PLAYS. PICKLEBALL ENJOYS THE COURTS HIMSELF, BUT HE ACTUALLY THE HOUSE IS THE SECOND HOUSE. UM SOUTH AND DEVIL HEIMER FROM WALNUT. THERE'S A WHITE HOUSE [00:20:04] THAT SITS ON THE CORNER AND THEN HIS HOUSE IS RIGHT THERE. I WALKED THE PROPERTY DID HERE WHILE I WAS OUT THERE THAT THERE IS SOME NOISE AND THAT HE CAN HEAR FROM HIS BACKYARD. PRIMARILY FROM THE FIRST FOUR COURTS. SO OUR FIRST EIGHT COURTS ONE THROUGH EIGHT KIND OF MAKES SENSE, BECAUSE BASED ON THE SKILL LEVELS THAT WE HAVE POSTED OUT THERE, SOME OF YOUR BETTER PLAYERS WILL BE PLAYING ON THOSE COURTS HITTING THE BALL A LOT HARDER, SO IT MAKES SENSE AND IT WAS KIND OF HEARING IT FROM THERE. WHAT KIND OF COMPOUNDS THE ISSUE SLIGHTLY? UM AND THIS IS A 77 PAGE STUDY THAT HE PROVIDED US AS WELL OR PROVIDED ME ON. SOUND AND PICKLEBALL COURTS. WE HAVE A PLAN THERE SO THAT ALSO KIND OF CARRIES THE SOUND A LITTLE BIT, AND SO I MET WITH JOE TODAY TO LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPING PACKAGE THAT WE HAVE SET, SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE AND TAKE YOUR FEEDBACK. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SOME, UM, MOVEMENT OF SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING PACKAGED, MAYBE HELP PREVENT SOME OF THAT. UM BUT WE KNOW THAT'S NOT A PERMANENT FIX WHEN IT COMES TO THAT SOUND, AND SO, UM, MY GUESS MY ASK WOULD BE AS WE MOVE FORWARD THINKING ABOUT POTENTIAL 2024. BUDGETS I KNOW WE HAD A DISCUSSION AND OUR CAPITAL BUDGET MEETING. UM MAYBE SOME THOUGHTS GIVEN TOWARDS WHATEVER WE DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD. DON'T HOPEFULLY, MAYBE BLACK. SOME OF THAT SOUND FOR THE RESIDENTS AS BEST AS WE CAN. UM, BUT LIKE I SAID, IT WAS OUT THERE. VERY NICE GENTLEMAN HAD SOME REALLY GOOD DATA THINKING SAID HE SITS 450 FT FROM THE COURT. TYPICALLY YOU WANT TO BE IN THAT 500 RANGE UNLESS THERE'S WATER, WHICH THEN MAKES IT 850 FT AWAY TO BE AWAY FROM IT SO KIND OF THIS RIGHT INTO THAT SITUATION, BUT, UM MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT AND JUST WANT TO MAKE EVERYWHERE I DID STOP OUT THERE AND TALK TO HIM, AND WE'LL START TO SEE IF WE CAN KIND OF DO SOME THINGS TO MAYBE.

I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 41. SECOND THEY'RE SOLVING. YES YES, BREAST? YES, YES, FELLOWS. YES TROUT? YES YES. POSTED UP ORDINANCE ART. I'M SORRY RESOLUTION ARE 41 2023. AGAIN. THANK YOU, AND CONGRATULATIONS RESOLUTION ARE 40 TO 2023 RESOLUTION AFFIRMING THE RECOMMENDATION FROM NEW ALBANY TAX INCENTIVE REVIEW COUNCIL FOR FRANKLIN COUNTY. THIS CHRIST, YES. THANK YOU. UM, AND CERTAINLY OUR TEAM IS HAPPY TO PRESENT THESE RESOLUTIONS TO TONIGHT. THE FIRST ONE IS FRANKLIN COUNTY BIO. HOWEVER, VICE CODE THE TEXAS CENTER [00:40:03] REVIEW COUNCILS REQUIRED TO MEET EVERY YEAR TO REVIEW ALL OF THE PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS AND TO MEASURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPANIES THAT ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE BUSINESS PARK. UM THIS WAS GIVEN TO YOU IN YOUR BOX IS A COPY OF THE REPORT. WE CAN CERTAINLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT IT. UM AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL OF THE AGREEMENTS WERE RECOMMENDED FOR CONTINUATION. WE HAVE A FEW, UM, THAT WERE FEW COMPANIES THAT WE'RE MONITORING AND LOOKING AT. CERTAINLY IT'S THINGS CHANGED IN POST COVID. UM WE'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT IS CHANGING , AND JUST WHEN WE THINK WE UNDERSTAND IT, IT'S CHANGING AGAIN. AND SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO MONITOR THAT NOT MAKE ANY QUICK DECISIONS, BUT CERTAINLY TO JUST BE ABLE TO WORK WITH OUR BUSINESS PARTNER. BUSINESS PARTNERS IN ORDER TO MAKE SOME, YOU KNOW, JUST STRONG DECISIONS MOVING FORWARD. AND I CAN CERTAINLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION? YEP. I GOT A COUPLE UM THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT. AS USUAL. IT'S VERY HELPFUL TO LOOK AT ALL THESE ALL TOGETHER LIKE THIS. I HAD TWO QUESTIONS ONE ON NEW ALBANY CENTER OF TECHNOLOGY. THAT'S PAGE EIGHT OF 29. NOW THE CR AGREEMENTS. WE'VE GOT TWO OF THEM HERE WITH THEM. I'M ASSUMING THAT THE BENCHMARKS ARE ADDED TOGETHER MY ONLY EIGHT MAKING THAT ASSUMPTION BECAUSE THE TARGET PAYROLL LOOKS LIKE IT'S PAYROLL PAYROLL FOR BOTH ONE AND TWO COMBINED. NO STILL GETTING THEIR 3 MILLION. SORRY YEP. YEP YEP. THESE AGREEMENTS WERE ACTUALLY WRITTEN TO, UM, TOGETHER AND SO THE PAYROLL FROM ONE BUILDING COULD BE APPLIED TO THE PAPER FROM ANOTHER AND VICE VERSA, BECAUSE THEY WERE BUILT AS A CAMPUS. OKAY AND THEN I NOTICED. I JUST WANNA UNDERSTAND THIS. SO I NOTICED. OBVIOUSLY THE SHORTFALL IN PAYROLL IN 2022. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT SECTION FIVE COMMENT THAT YOU HAVE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM? JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PICTURE? ABSOLUTELY SO, UM, THE AGREEMENT ALSO CONTEMPLATES AND ESPECIALLY, WE'VE DONE THIS FOR SPECULATIVE PROJECTS WHERE WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT THE TENDENCY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND AS YOU HAVE TENANTS MOVING AND ALLAH JUST ALLOWING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY DURING THE TERM OF THE INCENTIVE THAT IF THE PROJECT IS OVER, PERFORMED IN EVERY YEAR THAT THEY CAN APPLY THAT OVER RIDGE TO ANY SHORTFALL THEY MIGHT HAVE IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE KEEP TRACK OF WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT. THEY DO A GREAT JOB OF HELPING US IN PARTNERING US WITH US ON THESE REPORTS, AND SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE THIS PROJECT WAS ABLE TO USE AN OVERREACH FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. AND IF YOU RECALL, THIS WAS WHERE AETNA HAD EXPANDED INTO THE SPACE CORNERSTONE ACADEMY HAS NOW MOVED INTO THE SPACE. WE'RE HOPING THAT THEY'RE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF NEGOTIATION FOR THREE OR AND D COMPANY THAT WOULD LIKE TO OCCUPY THIS SPACE, AND SO THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME TRANSISTOR TRANSITIONS GOING ON HERE, AND CERTAINLY A GOOD THING THAT WE HAVE THAT PROVISION FOR THESE TIMES. OKAY THAT'S HELPFUL . THANKS AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION I HAD, WHICH IS TECHNICALLY BE A SIMILAR QUESTION FOR THE SAME COMPANY WHEN WE GET TO LICKING ITS ON AP AND I READ THE RECOMMENDATIONS. AND COULD YOU JUST PUT SOME CONTEXT BEHIND? MAYBE WHY? THEY HAVEN'T BEEN SO TIMELY AND THE RESPONSE BECAUSE IT DEFINITELY SHOWS YOU KNOW, NOT HITTING THE BENCHMARKS FOR SURE. YEAH SO I AM REALLY HAPPY TO SAY THAT SINCE THE TEXT INCENTIVE REVIEW COUNCIL MEETING, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS AND VERY, VERY PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH A P. THERE'S A LOT THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH THE, UM FINANCE DEPARTMENT STAFF AND OUR STAFF AND SOME FOLKS THAT EP TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND AND FIGURE OUT FOR TAX YEAR 2022. WHAT CAME TO LIGHT AND, UM, AS A RESULT OF THESE CONVERSATIONS WAS THAT, UM , SO AT THE NEW ALBANY LOCATIONS , ALL OF THEM LOOKING AND FRANKLIN COUNTY THEY REPORT AND THEY CAN SEE 783 EMPLOYEES WITH $104 MILLION PAYROLL. NOW IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED, THOUGH, IN TEXT, YOUR 2022 WAS THAT THAT WAS WHEN THE LAW TOOK EFFECT THAT IF YOU WORK FROM HOME FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DAYS THAT YOU NEEDED TO PAY YOUR INCOME TAX FOR YOUR EMPLOYMENT TO THAT PLACE. AND SO THAT'S THE PIECE THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN STRUGGLING, TRYING TO COME THROUGH AND REALLY UNDERSTAND. AND SO WHEN WE START TO DISSECT THAT A LITTLE BIT, AND I THINK IT'S JUST TAKEN THE REPORTS THAT THEY HAVE, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY SEE WHAT WE SEE ON THE BACK END. AND SO IT'S JUST TAKEN A LITTLE BIT MORE TO TRY TO IDENTIFY SOMEBODY IN THEIR ORGANIZATION. NOW THAT CAN MANAGE THAT ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF REPORTING AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THERE'S EMPLOYEES ARE LIVING AND WHO THEY'RE PAYING. THE INCOME THAT WAS HOLDING WAGE TO AND THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE RESIDENT, RIGHT WHO'S GETTING 100% CREDIT WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY? SO WE'RE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO LOOK BECAUSE CERTAINLY THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE [00:45:01] THAT WE RECEIVED IN THE COMMUNITY FROM EMPLOYEES SO THEY MIGHT BE SOMEBODY THAT'S LIVING HERE. BUT WORKING DOWNTOWN THAT'S INCREASED AS WELL FOR THE SAME REASON, SO AS WE CONTINUE TO KIND OF NAVIGATE THROUGH THIS UM, WE BELIEVE THAT THE WAGES WITHOUT ANY OF THEIR CONSULTANT OR CONTRACTOR, EMPLOYEES, UM THE NET WAGES WITH PEOPLE WORKING FROM HOME. WE THINK IT'S CLOSER TO THE $53 MILLION RANGE, AND THEN WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ADD IN CONTRACTORS AND THEN SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT THEY SUBLET SPACE TO LIKE GIL BAIN AND INTEL, WHICH WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THOSE NUMBERS AS WELL UM, TO SEPARATE THEM OUT FROM THE INTEL EMPLOYEES THAT ARE AT THE INTEL SITE AND THOSE THAT ARE WORKING IN THE OFFICE BUILDING, AND THIS IS JUST BECOME A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A COMPLICATED TASK THAN THAN WHAT WE EXPECTED BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN THE LAW. WE DO BELIEVE, AND WE JUST NEED TO WORK TO CONFIRM IT THAT THEY, ACTUALLY IF YOU TAKE ALL OF THOSE THINGS INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE TOTAL NET WAGES THE CONTRACT EMPLOYEES AND THEN THE SPACE THAT THEY SUBLEASED THAT THEY'RE SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF, UH, $65.8 MILLION PAYROLL, WHICH WOULD HAVE MET THE THRESHOLD. WE JUST NEED TO WORK TO VERIFY THAT WE RECEIVED A CALL EVEN FROM ONE OF THEIR TOP EXECUTIVES, UM LAST NIGHT, JUST AGAIN, CONFIRMING THEIR COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH OUR TEAMS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. AND WE'VE NEVER HAD THIS CIRCUMSTANCE HAPPEN WITH THEM. AND WE'VE WE'VE, UM I HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS AND SO I THINK IT WAS JUST AN ANOMALY BASED ON WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND US. I'D ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT AND I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT TO PUT ON THE RECORD THAT AAPI LEADERSHIP STATED IN MAY THAT HYBRID EMPLOYEES ARE TO RETURN TO WORK THREE DAYS A WEEK. AND SO WE ALREADY HAVE DATA THAT SHOWS AN ADDITIONAL 200 EMPLOYEES WORKING IN NEW ALBANY FOR MORE DAYS PER WEEK THAN IN 2022. AND JUST THAT PERIOD OF TIME, SO I THINK THAT, UM WE'RE GOING TO SEE A MARKET DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO TRACK NEXT YEAR AND HOW THIS CONTINUES TO MOVE ALONG AND AGAIN. WE JUST APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH A GREAT COMPANY LIKE HP. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS REALLY VERY COMPLEX AND THEN IF THEY NEEDED TO ASSIGN A DIFFERENT TEAM TO WORK ON IT, WE'RE TRYING TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT. AND AT THE SAME TIME, APPRECIATE OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STAFF FOR ROLLING UP THEIR SLEEVES BECAUSE THIS IS JUST UNLIKE ANYTHING WE'VE EXPERIENCED BEFORE. YEAH I APPRECIATE THAT. APE'S BEEN SUCH A GREAT PARTNER WITH US OVER THE YEARS, AND I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK YOU GUYS ARE DOING WITH THEM. IS THERE ANY EXPECTATION? MAYBE WHEN WE WOULD HAVE SOME RESOLUTION ON THIS BECAUSE I KNOW YOU MENTIONED A LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO THEM AND ALL THAT. YEAH, I THINK SO. THE ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TAX IN CENTER EU COUNCIL AND I BELIEVE THE LICKING COUNTY COUNCIL WAS THAT WE STARTED MEETING THEM ON A REQUIRED QUARTERLY BASIS. AND SO I BELIEVE THAT AT LEAST BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, WE WILL HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING FOR WHAT OUR BASELINE IS AND KIND OF HOW WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD. AND IF WE NEED TO MAKE A MODIFICATION TO AGREEMENT WELL, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. BUT AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK, UM OVER THE NEXT YEAR WITH THEM, I THINK MEETING QUARTERLY WILL HELP US TRY TO IDENTIFY ISSUES AND RESOLVE THEM , AND THAT'S REALLY THE BEST ESTIMATE I HAVE RIGHT NOW FOR A TIMEFRAME JUST BASED ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE OF THE SITUATION, OKAY, THANK YOU. AND COUNCIL MEMBERS SOLD IT AND HAVEN'T THEIR PRIVILEGE OF SITTING ON THE FRANKLIN COUNTY CHURCH. I'M HALF A COUNCIL. UM THERE WERE SOME PRETTY FRANK DISCUSSIONS, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THE TURKEYS CHAIRED BY THE COUNTY AUDITOR. AND, UH, YOU KNOW THE EXPECTATION THAT THESE ARE COMMITMENTS AND NOT ASPIRATIONAL FIGURES WAS MADE VERY CLEAR THAT IF THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THE BENEFITS OF THE TAX INCENTIVE THEY MUST MEET THE PAYROLL THRESHOLDS. AND IT FITS AN ACCOUNTING ISSUE ON THEIR END, AND THEY NEED TO WORK WITH STAFF. AND A MORE REGULAR BASIS TO KINDA RESOLUTION ON THAT. UM THEY WOULD THEY CALL CONFIDENT THAT THEY'RE HITTING THE NUMBERS ? THEY'RE JUST NOT REPORTING IN A WAY THAT'S MAKING IT CLEAR TO STAFF INTO THE COUNTY AUDITOR THAT THEY'RE BEING MET SO GOOD QUESTIONS, BUT HOPEFULLY THEY'LL THE PROCESS WE PUT IN PLACE WILL ENABLE THEM TO BE MORE CLEAR AND THE REPORTING. AND REAFFIRM THAT THIS IS A COMMITMENT, NOT AN ASPIRATION. I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON THE FRANKLIN COUNTY TURK. QUESTION. THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKES TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION ARE 40 TO 2023? HEARING OR PUBLIC COMMENT WILL CLOSE. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS VERY MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION.
