12-23-2025 Council Meeting [78:13-83:14]

I mean, I don't know if I didn't see... You got some kind of preliminary report. That was mentioned in the contract. So it's a problem because outside factors are infected. They're the forms of it. I don't see that we've got much to complain about having paid for what they did. They probably... They don't over bill for... They bill on what they've done. You didn't get the end to deliverable. But I don't think you want that deliverable report. I think the circumstances have changed. Well, I'll state that this is the group that does this on a daily basis for two-thirds of the way into our contract. If we are going to sit here and say that we will dive into every possible resource to learn all of these tax law changes, then maybe we'll be okay. But we're going to be hit with a lot and we're going to hit a lot hard. And we're already in a tough spot. We've known that for the three years that I've sat here. So basically eight thousand dollars do you want to go ahead and finish? Or do you want... I don't have any title. We can vote on termination now. The other information I think you may want to have before you vote to do that would be to find out what the proposal actually is in a number. And what the scope... What the written scope of what they are proposing. Because that's a change in the scope. I think we need to know that. You've invested in this. And they've done a lot of work that would have to be duplicated probably by somebody else. So I wouldn't jump to that. So we can table it tonight. I think that the council needs to know what their options are. And I think they need to know what the scope is in writing. And what the cost would be. Well, I mean, I definitely heard you say 26, 27 and on. And it sounds like they think they're going to have a place here every year. And I'm just not impressed. I'm like you, Julie. I still think we can get a lot of that information from the AIC. And they boil it down to understandable stuff. I'm familiar with Jackie Flynn's work with Carol County. And she's done an excellent work with Carol County. And she was a good county manager. She did an excellent work there. And I know that. And I know that she probably helped you. And she might have been able to help you do this. But you got an investment with this. And I think this is more... I think before you vote to terminate, I think you should give this other information. Yeah, this other information before you leave it. Judgement. That's not the day I'm supposed to be back. They're all supposed to be back in London. You want me to come in and do a conference with them? Again. Okay. Yeah. I'll send them an email and find out what's going on. I'll send them an email before 9 o'clock. Did I been able to get through to them? I'll just email them all because they're doing check and monitoring. They'll do a call but then mending. Dan will be back for sure a month. And we'll do a call on that. And we'll see where it goes with that. And then we can actually bring it to vote on the next council. We're going to have an information. Then that's what we'll do. Let's follow this. Come in and mending. I'll send you a few people here right now. Absolutely. No likes here. No likes here at the weekend. Okay. And then that takes care of that. And then there was a couple of things that I want to say tonight, which you know people from our third out. It's kind of a bittersweet for me. But Katie is here. This is her last meet. Thank you because you've been. You're fine. She's on vacation right now. You've got to sleep some tough ones obviously with the budget. And one two meetings that I was really proud of. That be over at the show.
