From the transcript

In the 8.91 mill rate scenario, we are at almost $17.3, so we're closer to fully funding MAPTR. In the 8.59 scenario on that first page, we're at $16.6 million, so we're $1.1 million, which is about what we did not fund the school district. And that makes sense in this scenario because the budget was built around fully funding MAPTER and fully funding the school district. So you're going to see how those align. So there are every variety of, um, alternate scenario that you can imagine by putting in any number that you can think of into facilities maintenance that will change the mill rate.
