AMY LUCKETT, LEGISLATIVE AIDE, DISTRICT 15. THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. LIMA HAD SPOKE OR WAS EXPLORING IDEAS ABOUT TRYING TO GET SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT THEY REGULARLY HOST AND AND REQUEST ENOUGH MONEY FOR IN WITH THE BUDGET PROCESS THROUGH AN ORDINANCE THAT THE TIME LAPSED AND IT DIDN'T OCCUR. THIS HAPPENED DURING COUNCIL BREAK. AND SO THEY THEY HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH METRO COUNCIL ABOUT THIS EVENT. THEY SENT OVER THE INFORMATION, INCLUDING ALL THE RECEIPTS, YOU KNOW, DOCUMENTING WHAT WAS SPENT, WHERE IT WAS AFTER THE EVENT. BUT THEY HAD SPOKEN WITH FINANCIAL ANALYSTS. BETH STEINBERG, WHO WAS TRYING TO HELP THEM FIGURE OUT A WAY THAT METRO COUNCIL CAN SUPPORT THIS EVENT AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. SO WE WE DID SUBMIT ALL OF THE RECEIPTS, AND THEY ARE REQUESTING EMERGENCY CONSIDERATION JUST FROM A COMMUNICATION AND CALENDAR STANDPOINT THAT THEY THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO GET THIS IN IN TIME. OKAY. I GUESS MY CONCERN IS THAT EVEN WITH THE BREAK, THERE WAS ALMOST THAT WAS FOR THREE WEEKS. THEY STILL HAD TWO MONTHS TO GET THEIR PAPERWORK IN. AND YOU KNOW, WE EXPECT THAT FROM EVERYONE ELSE. SO.ANYWAY, SO IS THERE. AND BETH HAS HER CAMERA ON. I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WANTED TO SPEAK TO THIS AS WELL. SOMEONE THAT'S ONLINE. OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO JUST ADD THAT WE DID CHANGE SOME OF THE PROCESS DURING THE FY 26 OPERATING BUDGET, AND THAT HAD BEEN GETTING THEIR MONEY DIRECTLY THROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND WE CHANGED IT SO THAT THEY WOULD COME THROUGH THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE PROCESS RATHER THAN THROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO I FEEL LIKE THEY DID WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO IN THE TIME FRAMES. THEY NEEDED TO DO IT. AND BECAUSE OF THE BREAK, THE PAPERWORK JUST DID NOT GET IN. SO I'M RECOMMENDING THAT YOU DO ALLOW THIS AS AN EMERGENCY. AND I'VE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH THIS ORGANIZATION ABOUT THIS.
AND I WILL SAY WE DID TRY TO SUBMIT THIS FOR, I THINK, ONE EARLIER NEW BUSINESS DEADLINE, BUT THERE WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION ABOUT THE EMERGENCY. AND, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THAT.
