Um that that would be the motion that I would particularly make. Um but it's not I'm not saying that's the only path forward, but it was since you asked, that's the motion I would make.

Well, like uh Councilman Lewis said, um the money in the Economic Development Fund, uh a lot of it was um utilized for the uh construction at Garrison, or at least set aside for that. Um not necessarily used for that. It was set aside for that, because we did not know if we were able going to be able to get a grant that was applied for by Mr. Lyon to uh pay for that project. That project That grant was approved, and that means that we will have have a budget amendment to to basically allocate the grant money for that project, instead of the economic development money for the project. Therefore, the money, uh at least part of that money, will come back to the Economic Development Fund. All that needs to be handled in a budget amendment. We were uh looking at when to do that, and the and this through some other projects, uh we decided, through consultation with the city manager, to that that would be brought forward in in October.
