And so if you look at FY27, you'll see that yellow is a pretty big gap in comparison to the other two years. And that's because we're gonna treat FY27 as a bridge year. The sales tax will stay the same at 4% year-round and the mill rate will stay the same. The campgrounds will become its own enterprise fund and will have a larger campground and parking transfer to cover the gap that doesn't exist yet, um, with the increase in revenue that the sales tax would bring in. So you'll see that net transfer fee is about $3.8 million in '27, and then that drops to $2.5 million in 2028.
