From the transcript
Yeah, I do think what's super helpful about this table and having these numbers is the fact that we are quantifying, like, finally actually have a number on what is the service that the city provides and how do we pay for it. And it's, and it's, it's labor, it's facilities, it's maintenance on facilities, it's all of those things. So I think it's really, really great that you're able to, like I said, to quantify this. I do have to shout out to everybody that does like the school, the swim team, you know, that even the, uh, The Wolverines right now, even Little League this summer, they, they reserved everything on CivicRec, and you can just see that it's so much easier. I can pull a report on this and show how much they're using, how much everyone's using.
