Thank you. Sir Clerk, can you please take the roll? Tuber. Here. Frost. Here. Grant. Here. B. So got it. Present. Thank you. Under financial discussion, September 2026, who's going to present on that? Ms. Haggerty. Yes. So in the memo, this is performance through September. You can see here general fund revenue performance continues to improve for major revenue sources. Currently approximately $893,000 under budget or 0.9% under budget year to date for those major revenue sources. Overall, revenues in the general fund are underperforming by about 2.2 million or 1.3%. On the expense side, we are approximately $2.8 million under budget year to date. In the CAP fund, you can see we have sales tax performance continues to demonstrate strong sales tax performance for those items subject to our local sales tax at 15% over budget or approximately $2 million. Motor fuel tax is right on budget. And in the redevelopment fund, hotel-motel tax overperforms by about 11%, but package liquor and food and beverage tax are both under budget year to date. I'm happy to answer any specific questions anyone has. Thank you. Any questions? All of them, Val. What is in the redevelopment fund currently? Do you have that number?

They don't have the same technology, they don't have some of the emergency shutoffs in them in the cords that some of the original cords have. So when we take a chance on buying a cheaper cord, we take a big chance with our home and our vehicles as well. So when we charge them, make sure we're charging them when we're awake. They're on a hard surface, not a bed or a pillow or a sheet. And that we unplug them when they're done. And one other thing to keep in mind is maybe don't charge them near where your exit would be on your first floor on how you would evacuate. And lastly, like we say every single year, and for 26 years, please please go home today and check your smoke alarms and make sure they're working. Make sure you have a working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm near where you sleep, and hopefully we'll have a safe week here.

Thank you. a significant portion of that is due to equipment purchases and capital improvements that are reimbursed from either lease proceeds or the casino funds. So just wanted to point that out that the bulk of their budget overage does have a specific revenue source to cover that. Generally, on the expense side, we're projecting currently our year-end about $2.7 million under budget year-to-date based on the information we have so far this year. As to CAP funds, CAP sales tax is performing very well, 15% over budget or about $1.7 million. We're looking at 11% over budget year-to-date or just under $1.8 million in the CAP in total. Redevelopment fund is actually 3% under budget, largely due to underperformance in packaged liquor and restaurant tax revenue. And casino tax revenue is pretty much right at expectation to hit that $7 million annual guarantee so far this year. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has. Aldo and Plucky. I'm sorry, I just have a question. I've been just listening to the news all over the country. It sounds like alcohol consumption is down all over the country. And is that what you just indicated, that we're also impacted by that? Yeah, so our package liquor tax, which is 1% on total package liquor sales, is down about 18% or $93,000 off of our projection, our budgeted numbers for the year. Yes. Are you anticipating even more? You know, that depends on, you know, we don't necessarily have an idea on where the market generally is going. I would e …
