Even if you get this one to this point, what does it look like when we start moving into 2028, 2029, and how does a sales tax discussion become part of that?
8:24
So we did our five-year financial forecast.
8:27
So we actually presented that to council on August 25th.
8:31
It shows again, as I mentioned, a balanced budget in 2027, but we are projected to have deficits of $13.3 million in 2028 and $17.4 million in 2029.
8:44
And so, you know, over the last month, the team and I have looked at different options to include sales tax.
8:50
A half of a cent, which is up for discussion tomorrow night for general government use, would actually sustain our budget for the next five years, given, like I said, the 13.3 and the 17.4 million dollar deficit through 2029 that we projected.
9:07
So 20 million essentially sustains our budget for the next five years.
10:29
Is that the main reasons? Would you agree?
