DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED.

SUPPORT. MOVED AND SUPPORTED MR. DAVIS. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING.

THIS ITEM IS EXACTLY WHAT THE TITLE DESCRIBES.

IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER.

I'M HAPPY TO ADD SOMETHING HERE AS WELL, MR. DAVIS. SO THROUGH OUR SAFE TASK FORCE, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH MR. DAVIS'S OFFICE PARTICULARLY MISS LETICIA LIPSCOMB ON THIS ITEM, WHICH WAS A CARRYOVER THAT MR. KANE WAS WORKING ON. REALLY, AS WE WERE DOING THESE MINI GRANTS AND CONNECTING WITH DIFFERENT VIOLENCE REDUCTION ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

IT WAS CLEAR THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE DOING THIS OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET, OUT OF THEIR OWN HEART, AND OFTENTIMES NOT HAVING SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO MAYBE GO AFTER OTHER DOLLARS TO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE EXPAND TO DO COLLABORATION.

AND SO WORKING WITH STRIDE STRATEGIES, SIDE STRATEGIES IS ONE WAY THAT WE FELT, YOU KNOW, OUR INTENTION WAS NEVER TO BE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE THE FUNDER OF THIS PROGRAM, BUT REALLY COME IN TO HELP THEM INNOVATE, TO ITERATE. AND SO THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO ADD VALUE AND HOPEFULLY SUPPORT SMALLER ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT. AND THANK YOU, MISS LIPSCOMBE, FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COLLEAGUES FOR MYSELF OR MR. DAVIS? ALL SET? OKAY. I'M GOING TO CALL THE QUESTION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ITEM CARRIES.

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER THREE IS A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A 775 100,000 GRANT AWARD AND

[3. Resolution accepting a $775,000 grant award and authorizing the execution of an agreement with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and two (2) sub-grant agreements for the Revitalization and Placemaking 3.0 grant program.]

AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE MICHIGAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, OR MEDC, AND TWO SUB GRANTS FOR THE REVITALIZATION AND PLACEMAKING 3.0 GRANT PROGRAM KNOWN AS RAP.

SO MOVED. SUPPORT. MOVED AND SUPPORTED MISS ROMERO.

COME ON DOWN. GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU. THIS IS AN EXCITING AWARD THAT WE ACTUALLY WERE NOTIFIED ABOUT IN APRIL OF 25.

WHEN I FIRST WAS HERE IN THE SUMMER OF 24, WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT A FACADE GRANT THROUGH THE REVITALIZATION AND PLACEMAKING AWARD, MONEY WOULD BE COMING.

[00:05:05]

AND SO THIS IS A LONG TIME COMING.

IT'S BASICALLY THE POINT.

WE APPLIED FOR $1 MILLION ACROSS THREE DIFFERENT PROJECTS.

THE PROJECTS, WHEN WE DID A CALL FOR PROJECTS, WE HAD THREE PRIORITIES.

ONE, THAT THEY BE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS.

TWO, THAT THEY FOLLOW OUR CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY FACADE PROGRAMING, AND THEN THREE, THAT THEY'RE SHOVEL READY.

AND SO WE'VE GOT TWO OF THE THREE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO AWARD IN WARD ONE AND WARD THREE. AND WE'RE JUST WE'RE EXCITED TO KEEP IT MOVING.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, COLLEAGUES QUESTIONS FOR MISS ROMERO ON THIS ITEM. AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST ITERATION AT THIS POINT OF WRAP, AT LEAST AS WE KNOW IT. AND YES, THEY'RE TRYING TO GET RID OF MONEY ELSEWHERE.

AND SO WE MIGHT TRY TO TAKE SOME OF THAT THAT ISN'T MOVING. BUT YES, FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

HEARING AND SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED ITEM CARRIES.

THANK YOU. MR.. ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO A ONE YEAR

[4. Request for approval to enter into a one-year agreement with ParkMobile, LLC to provide parking reservation software and establish a customer convenience fee]

AGREEMENT WITH PARK MOBILE, LLC TO PROVIDE PARKING RESERVATION SOFTWARE AND ESTABLISH A CUSTOMER CONVENIENCE FEE.

SO MOVED. SUPPORT. SUPPORTED.

MISS SMITH. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.

JESSICA SMITH FROM THE MOBILE DEPARTMENT.

THIS IS TO ESTABLISH AN AGREEMENT WITH PARK MOBILE.

AND PARK MOBILE IS AN APPLICATION PLATFORM THAT WOULD HELP US DO RESERVATIONS FOR OUR PARKING SYSTEM. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FEE I WAS, I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS A LITTLE BIT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THE CUSTOMER USER FEE, IT'LL ACTUALLY BE A $0 CONTRACT WITH THE CITY BECAUSE PARK MOBILE HAS AGREED TO LOWER THEIR 15% USER FEE THAT THEY CHARGE DIRECTLY TO THE USER IN BED. THE 3% CREDIT CARD FEE.

AND SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY SORT OF A CUSTOMER USER FEE IN OUR OMNIBUS THIS YEAR, BUT I DID WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT.

IT'S EMBEDDED IN THAT 15% THAT PARK MOBILE WILL CHARGE ON TOP OF THE SPECIAL EVENT FEE FOR THE PARKING RESERVATION.

THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT THE CUSTOMER WILL SEE IS A 20 CENT PER TRANSACTION FEE.

AND THAT'S PRETTY COMMON. THAT 3% PLUS A 20% PER TRANSACTION CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION FEE.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT ALL WRAPPED UP. SO OUR CUSTOMERS WILL SEE THE PARKING FEE, WHATEVER THAT IS FOR THE DAY.

AND THEN THAT 15% PLUS THE 20%.

SO MY MATH IS A LITTLE BIT IN UNDER $0.20, $0.20.

SORRY. YOU'RE RIGHT, 20% WOULD BE TOO MANY.

YEAH. $0.20. THANK YOU.

AND SO I'VE WORKED WITH THE TREASURER'S OFFICE ON THIS TO OVERVIEW THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL UP TO SPEED ON THE PROCESSING AND ANY SORT OF REVENUES THAT WE'RE BRINGING IN FROM THERE. SO, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW. COLLEAGUES QUESTIONS? YES. DO YOU HAVE A TOP LEVEL NUMBER OF HOW MANY HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS WILL BE RESERVED FOR THIS. I KNOW IT'S NOT ALL OF OUR SPOTS.

IT'S GOING TO BE A SELECT NUMBER.

SURE. SO WHAT WE'RE HOPING FOR IS AS MANY RESERVATIONS AS POSSIBLE.

FOR SPECIAL EVENTS. SO THAT'S WHEN SPECIAL EVENTS ARE WHEN WE HAVE THE VAN ANDEL, THE AMPHITHEATER, THE DEVOS PLACE, THOSE SORTS OF SPECIAL EVENT VENUES.

ALSO OUR CULTURAL EVENTS, THOSE ARE TIMES WHEN WE'LL CHARGE A SPECIAL EVENT FEE. WE HAVE AN INTERNAL OPERATING PROCESS FOR WHEN WE CHARGE OUR DIFFERENT TIERS OF SPECIAL EVENT FEES.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THE SPECIAL EVENT FEES ARE DYNAMIC.

AND WHEN WE HAVE THOSE SPECIAL EVENTS, WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE AS MANY RESERVATIONS AS POSSIBLE. WE'LL ROLL THIS OUT.

YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A ONE YEAR AGREEMENT AND THAT'S NOT TYPICAL.

TYPICALLY A COMPANY WILL WANT TO SEE MULTIPLE YEARS ON AN AGREEMENT.

THEY'VE AGREED TO GO INTO A ONE YEAR AGREEMENT WITH US SO THAT WE CAN TRY THIS OUT. SO I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER FOR HOW MANY, BUT WE WILL BALANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS ARE TAKEN CARE OF.

THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER.

THANK YOU CHAIR. OKAY, SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE. SO YOU'RE RESERVING PARKING.

CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH IF IT'S SO.

SPECIAL EVENTS, PARKING SPACES, JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THIS IS STILL ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL RESIDENTS.

YOU BET. SO WALK ME THROUGH WHAT IT'LL LOOK LIKE.

SO TODAY WHEN WE HAVE A SPECIAL EVENT PRICING ON ONE OF OUR FACILITIES, THESE ARE OUR OFF STREET FACILITIES.

SO WHEN YOU TRY TO GO INTO A GRIFFINS GAME AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SPOT RIGHT THERE AT OTTAWA FULTON, THE MOST CONVENIENT RAMP RIGHT THERE FOR FOR THE VAN ANDEL.

RIGHT NOW IT'S FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. AND YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW IF OUR OUR FACILITY IS FILLED UP. AND SO IN THIS WAY, YOU CAN ACTUALLY RESERVE A SPACE IN THAT FACILITY, NOT A SPECIFIC SPACE, BUT WE HOLD A SPACE FOR YOU.

AND WHEN YOU GET THERE, YOU SHOW YOUR CODE AND, AND YOU COME ON IN AND WE SAY, THERE'S YOUR SPACE AT THE, YOU KNOW, WHEREVER IN THE RAMP.

SO THAT'S WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. AND WE WANT TO DO THAT ON MULTIPLE FACILITIES AND TRY THIS OUT TO SEE HOW THAT HELPS US MANAGE DEMAND.

[00:10:01]

IF WE KNOW HOW MANY FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE IN A FACILITY, LET'S SAY WE SELL OUT A FACILITY OR WE SELL OUT 90% OF IT, WE HAVE SO MANY, 90% IS A BAD NUMBER.

THERE IS A PERCENTAGE THAT WE WILL SELL TO BECAUSE WE WANT TO REMAIN WE WANT TO KEEP OUR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO OUR MONTHLY PARKERS AND ALLOW THEM TO HAVE ACCESS WHERE THEY ARE, WHERE THEIR CONTRACT, THEY HAVE A LITTLE MONTH TO MONTH, BASICALLY A LEASE THAT SAYS YOU CAN ACCESS THIS FACILITY.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STILL SERVING THOSE CUSTOMERS.

BUT IF WE HAVE OUR RESERVATIONS AT WHATEVER THAT CAP IS, AND IT'S DIFFERENT FOR FACILITY, THAT'S WHY I DON'T HAVE YOUR NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. WHEN WE GET THERE, WE CAN PUT UP A LITTLE SIGN THAT SAYS THIS IS FULL. WE'D LIKE YOU TO GO OVER DOWN TO PEARL IONIA OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO IT'LL HELP US MANAGE THE SYSTEM A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

IF WE KNOW HOW MANY FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE THERE AHEAD OF TIME.

THAT'S KIND OF THE IDEA AROUND PARKING RESERVATIONS FOR SPECIAL EVENTS.

GOTCHA. AND THEN FOR FOLKS WHO ARE MAYBE JUST LIVE CLOSE BY, WANT TO GO TO DINNER BUT AREN'T GOING TO THE GRIFFINS GAME, THEY STILL ARE ALLOWED TO AS WELL FOR SURE. RIGHT. IT'S THAT FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.

JUST IF YOUR RESERVATIONS ARE ARE FILLING UP RIGHT, YOU MIGHT RUN OUT OF SPOTS, BUT TAKING INTO SOME OF THESE CONCERNS INTO ACCOUNT AND THAT'S SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS HOW DO WE BALANCE BEING ABLE TO HAVE A FEW, WHAT YOU WOULD CALL DAILIES, RIGHT? A DAILIES AVAILABLE IN THOSE SPACES SO THAT YOU STILL HAVE ACCESS FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T MAKE A RESERVATION.

AND ALSO BALANCING THAT WITH FOLKS THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A RESERVATION SO THAT WE CAN MANAGE THOSE FACILITIES THAT ARE REALLY HIGH DEMAND.

WE CALL IT A CONGESTION PRICING.

IT'S HIGHER DEMAND BECAUSE IT'S REAL CLOSE TO AN EVENT THAT'S MAYBE SOLD OUT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IS THAT HELPFUL? MAY I ADD SOMETHING HERE AS WELL? I JUST CAME. WELL, I JUST CAME BACK FROM MEXICO CITY. THERE WAS 400,000 PEOPLE AT THE SHAKIRA CONCERT IN THE ZOCALO, AND THE PEOPLE CAME IN.

IT WAS AMAZING. JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS, I HAD A GREAT TIME. THERE WAS 400,000 PEOPLE IN THE ZOCALO, THEIR CITY, THEIR CITY CENTER.

BUT IT'S LIKE THEY DO ALL THESE THINGS.

AND I THOUGHT, HOW DID ALL THESE PEOPLE GET IN HERE? YOU KNOW, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY OTHER TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS, BUT IT WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT I WAS TALKING TO IS LIKE, HOW CAN WE PROVIDE MORE CERTAINTY FOR PEOPLE? BECAUSE A LOT OF THE FRUSTRATION I THINK, THAT WE GET WHEN WE'RE DOWNTOWN IS WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, RIGHT? OR LIKE, AND IF YOU'RE COMING FOR ME AND FOR MANY OF US, GOING DOWNTOWN IS, IS SUPER EASY.

BUT FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO MIGHT ONLY COME FOR A SPECIAL EVENT OR FOR GVSU GRADUATION, WHICH IS A WHICH IS A VERY BUSY TIME OR OTHER GRADUATIONS TO GIVE THEM MORE CERTAINTY DURING THAT DURING THAT TIME CAN HOPEFULLY SAY, OKAY, I'M TRYING TO THINK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE, BUT THEN CERTAINLY TO YOUR POINT, COMMISSIONER, WE DON'T WANT TO.

THERE'S ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF PARKING THAT STILL COULD BE GOING ON EVEN WHEN THE SPECIAL EVENT IS GOING ON, RIGHT? LIKE MAYBE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GO TO LEOS OR THEY'RE TRYING TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. BUT SO WHAT I THINK IS I'M GLAD THAT IT'S A ONE YEAR BECAUSE IT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO ITERATE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IF KNOW THIS WILL BE NEW FOR US.

BUT I JUST KEPT THINKING WHEN I WAS IN MEXICO CITY, I'M LIKE, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA THIS. I'M NOT. IT'S BEEN FIGURED OUT.

IT'S BEEN WORKING ON, BUT WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE THIS OUT. WHEN WE GOT SOCCER STADIUM, DEVOS PLACE, ALL THESE THINGS GOING ON.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENING. AND, YOU KNOW, MEXICO CITY IS A CITY OF 22 MILLION PEOPLE, 22 MILLION PEOPLE.

AND THE WAY THOSE PEOPLE EXITED.

SO MY HUSBAND'S LIKE, WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THE CITY WHEN WE'RE HERE WATCHING SHAKIRA? BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE JUST DIFFERENT SORT OF SERVICES AS WE CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND GROW AS A CITY.

SO I'M GLAD TO SEE IT.

THANK YOU FOR THE CLEAR DOCUMENTATION IN THE IN THE PACKET AROUND WHAT IS THE PRICING? BECAUSE I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE TRUTH IN PRICING SO PEOPLE CAN MAKE THE DECISION ABOUT IF THEY WANT TO DO THAT.

BUT I IMAGINE THERE WILL BE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WILL BE, YOU KNOW, PLANNING AHEAD AND, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO UTILIZE OUR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SO PEOPLE CAN HAVE LESS FRUSTRATION. SO. RIGHT.

YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I JUST LIKE TO ADD, SO I KNOW YOU ALL ARE SEEING THINGS, BITS AND PIECES AT A TIME AS WE'RE PREPARING FOR THIS EXPLOSION OF VISITORS DOWNTOWN.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PIECES, ONE OF THOSE IMPORTANT, CRUCIAL LEVERS TO HELP US MANAGE THE SYSTEM, BOTH YOUR MOBILITY SYSTEM AND YOUR PARKING SYSTEM. I THINK OF THEM ALL, ALL AS ONE.

WE'RE JUST WE'RE MOVING PEOPLE, RIGHT? SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PIECES THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN OUR TOOLBOX TO HELP US MANAGE THE WHOLE SYSTEM. AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR INPUT AND YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR QUESTIONS, I TAKE THOSE BACK AND I WORK WITH THE STAFF ON HOW CAN WE THINK THROUGH THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN? SO THIS HAS BEEN SUPER HELPFUL AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP HERE.

SO IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

YES. OKAY, NOT A QUESTION.

BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. I JUST MY, I'M LIKE, OKAY, I, I THINK MY THOUGHT PROCESS WAS MAKING SURE THAT NO ONE FELT LIKE THEY JUST GET TO BE FIRST IN LINE, RIGHT? THAT WE STILL ARE PRIORITIZING WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO IN THE CITY'S DOWNTOWN.

YOU CAN STILL DO. AND THEN, OF COURSE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS HOPEFULLY GOING TO MAKE THINGS MORE MANAGEABLE AND ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE.

SO I, I LIKE THE IDEA OF SORT OF DOING IT AS A PILOT FOR A YEAR.

[00:15:04]

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE OUTCOME OF IT.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION ON THIS.

THANK YOU. YOU BET. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE MORE APP TO USE, RIGHT? BECAUSE ABSOLUTELY.

AND IF ANYBODY PUT IN THE COMMENTS, WHO IS SHAKIRA? WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.

BUT ANYWAYS OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION CARRIES.

THANKS, MISS SMITH. NEXT IS OUR BID RESOLUTION FOR MARCH 17TH,

[5. Bid List Resolution for March 17, 2026]

2026. DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED SUPPORT. THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT, THERE WE GO. AND CAN I TURN THIS OVER TO MISS CLARA? SURE.

OUR BID LIST STARTS ON PAGE 15 OF THE PACKET FOR THE PUBLIC, BUT WE JUST HAVE EIGHT ITEMS THIS MORNING, ALL FAIRLY ROUTINE.

I WILL NOTE IN THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT, WE DO HAVE A MOWER AND GREENS ROLLER, WHICH MEANS SPRING IS COMING.

SO IT'S SNOWING OUTSIDE.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE CAN HAVE HOPE.

SO. SURE. GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD.

OH. THANK YOU. SO ON THE ON THE PARK'S PURCHASE OF THE LAWN MOWER AND THE ROLLER.

I'M JUST CURIOUS. I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS A CALCULATION AND A TRADE OFF.

WHAT WAS THE DECISION MAKING FOR LEASING IT VERSUS BUYING IT? I AM LOOKING TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANYONE FROM PARKS HERE TODAY.

DAN MAYBE DANIEL WILLIAMSON FROM.

YEAH, I WAS LOOKING AT THE LIST AND IT JUST, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS A TRADE OFF THE THE PRICE YOU'RE ALL FIGHTING OVER.

YEAH. AND OUR PARKS DIRECTOR IS LAURA CLAYPOOL OUR PARKS DIRECTOR.

THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY.

CAN YOU REPEAT YOUR QUESTION FOR ME, PLEASE? SO MY QUESTION WAS ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHOOSING TO LEASE IT OVER BUYING IT OUTRIGHT OR FINANCING IT OURSELVES.

SURE. SO OUR MODEL HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN LEASING THE MOWERS, AND THAT'S JUST A MODEL THAT HELPS US CONTINUE TO DO A GOOD ASSET MANAGEMENT FOR REPLACEMENT OF THOSE MOWERS.

THE COST DIFFERENTIAL IS MINIMAL COMPARED TO THE OUTRIGHT PURCHASE.

AND WITH A PRETTY STRICT OPERATING BUDGET.

IT'S JUST MADE SENSE TO DO THAT HISTORICALLY.

OKAY. DID YOU HAVE A FOLLOW UP? SO THIS MOWER MUST BE REALLY POPULAR BECAUSE MY QUESTION IS ABOUT THIS MOWER AS WELL TOO.

YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK, I THINK WE'VE HAD A COUPLE ITERATIONS ABOUT CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW THAT THANK YOU FOR THE REMINDER, BUT ALSO JUST AM I SAYING THIS RIGHT? LIKE DIESEL VERSUS ELECTRIC AND DIFFERENT THINGS. SO I KNOW WE KIND OF HAD, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THIS CONVERSATION.

I KNOW THIS IS FOR WAS THIS FOR SPECIFICALLY FOR INDIAN TRAILS.

SO IT MIGHT IT NOT SO INDIAN TRAILS.

WE WENT TO ELECTRIC MOWERS A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, A DIFFERENT FUNDING MODEL FOR THAT.

IT'S AN ENTERPRISE FUND.

THEY ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EXPENSIVE, PROBABLY 40 TO 50% MORE FOR THE ELECTRIC MOWERS. THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE CONTINUE TO EXPLORE AS WE.

YOU KNOW, JUST WATCH OUR OUR LONG TERM FUNDING.

BUT THE GOLF COURSE IS CURRENTLY ON A.

ELECTRIC GOLF CARTS STILL GAS MOWERS.

OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THOSE REMINDERS BECAUSE THAT WAS A HOT TOPIC FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. SO. OKAY, SO I THINK WE'VE EXHAUSTED THIS BID LIST.

I HAVE ONE MORE. OH. I'M SORRY.

THAT'S OKAY. I WAS WE WERE PIECEMEAL IN THERE FOR A SECOND.

I, I DO NOT HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK. THE THE THE QUESTION IS ABOUT THE.

RSM SERVICES FOR THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT.

I THINK THERE WAS A THERE WAS A SLIGHTLY LOWER BID.

ON THE LIST, BUT I DO SEE THAT IN THE, THE COMMENTARY THAT THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, CONVERSATION ABOUT.

THAT THIS WOULD BE BETTER PARTICULAR PROCESS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO PUT PUT FORTH THAT MADE IT BETTER. AND I JUST WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD COMMENT ON THE SCORING THERE.

SURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BID.

AND SO THE OTHER BIDDERS DIDN'T HAVE SPECIFIC COPILOT IMPLEMENTATION EXPERIENCE.

RSM HAD SEVERAL COPILOT IMPLEMENTATIONS THAT WERE BRINGING FORWARD.

WE FELT THAT THAT WAS BEST FOR MITIGATING RISK AND HELPING THE PROJECT BE SUCCESSFUL.

THERE WAS ONE I THOUGHT THAT WAS LIKE 50,000. THIS WAS AT 68,000.

SO THERE MUST HAVE BEEN JUST SOMETHING IN THE THE EXPERIENCE OR THAT THEY'RE BRINGING.

OKAY I UNDERSTAND. YEP.

WE'VE ALSO PARTNERED WITH RSM IN THE PAST WITH OUR CFR PROCESS IN 3 IN 3 ONE ONE.

SO WE KNOW WHAT THEIR THEIR SERVICE DELIVERY IS LIKE.

AND FELT THAT THERE WAS A BETTER THERE WAS MORE CONFIDENCE IN THEM BEING ABLE TO DELIVER. GREAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. MR.. THANKS.
