03-24-2026 Council [19:47-24:52]

hearing on it. You see if you want to have additional time to discuss or open it up for discussion prior to you're getting to the public hearing, that's fine. And the public hearing is for the public as well as for the other units that are receiving allocations of tith. So this is the procedure and what I propose to do is when I get the existing ordinance draft that proposed the ordinance and I don't know if the council wants to consider authorizing the president to send out a notice when we've got the draft of the ordinance. I think you're going to want to see, I think you're going to want to see the ordinance before you do that. So my suggestion is that we get our existing ordinance get a draft to the proposed ordinance, distribute that electronically so you can be looking at it and then either at your next regular meeting or if you, if you, if you would get it soon and if you want to, if you want to accelerate it, you could do a special meeting but you, you saw the deadline here were, were well going to be ahead of the September deadline. Well, didn't you just say that we could also vote to authorize the president to go ahead and send that letter out? Of course, the letter you mean? The courtesy letter, am I mixing those two? Well, that's what we had a discussion about before the meeting. Do you want to send a courtesy letter saying we're considering this now and as soon as we have the formal document to that it's going to be proposed we'll, we'll send it to you. If you, if you want to do that, I don't know if the council is what we did before and they sent it out all certified. Remember? Yeah, these notices that the official notice of the hearing, is it going to be a letter? It's going to be a notice of the hearing. It's going to look a little different than the one that you had but it's going to do the same thing. It has to be sent, certifying all that and in addition to the one that goes in the paper. For us, when we did that, when to do those steps before we sent them out certified. Just verified that they were exactly notified, because it's physical sign. Correct. Actually, you'll have to do proof that you sent it. You don't have to, but you don't have to prove receipt. Oh. I mean, that's the law generally, I'll certify it million. Some people don't open the mail. Are they intentionally don't want to see what they got you know or won't sign for it? That doesn't count, you know. So, okay. Do you have any questions about the procedure? That's what I wanted a comment on the proposed contract. If you want me to do that at this time or not? Yes. I've looked at it. The scope is much clearly more clearly defined. And I would like to call your attention to the parts that interested me. You still need to designate an individual, probably, auditor. That's going to be your contract representative on it. But it would logically be the auditor, but it could be somebody else. And there are actually, I think three parts to this. There's the engagement letter, which is dated March the 9th, 2026. That's the first part of it, and that is six pages long. That's the engagement letter. And then there are attachments that are called scope attachments that number, they're all under the letter A, but there's one for the disclosures that apply to it. And those disclosures are pretty boilerplate. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary there. And then the one you may want to make sure, I mean, I think the financial sustainability is the next scope appendix. And it appears as SA1, page 5. You look down at the bottom of the page. It says page S, A1. That means scope amendment attachment, one of five pages. That's the fiscal sustainability plan. And it goes into detail. So I didn't see anything that I thought was unclear or anything.
