UM, RELATIVE TO THE, UM, MYRTLE PARK PARK YES.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY THAT THEY WILL BE TAKING IT UP TO MOVE THE MONEY BACK AND THEN EITHER TAKING UP WHETHER WE WANNA PUT SOME OF THAT TO CORRECT AND THERE, THERE WILL BE.
SO THE, THE QUESTION WAS, I UNDERSTAND ONE OF THE RESOLUTIONS OR ONE OF THE ORDINANCES IS TO MOVE THE MONEY BACK TO THE VARIOUS YES.
AND WHEN, WHEN WE HAVE THE ITEM ON THE AGENDA TO DO THE AMENDED BUDGET, THAT IS WHERE WE WILL TAKE THAT UP.
THAT, UM, THAT DISCUSSION WILL TAKE PLACE PRIOR TO THAT.
