From the transcript

Yeah, yeah, it does impact— it impacts my decision, I guess, sort of. So I guess the question, Madam Mayor, You spoke to replace— potentially replacing some of this funding with marine passenger fees. Is it your intention to put forward another amendment later to our marine passenger fee budget, or is that a next year's marine passenger fee budget concept? I believe it would probably be next year's marine passenger fees because I'm not sure exactly the status of our marine passenger fees, if it's set in stone or Ms. or Director Pierce has the ability to flex it a little bit.
