Member Reinfeld? Present. Member Graham? Present. So three present, zero absent. Our agenda today is really to kick off the strategic and capital planning process, particularly with a focus on the capital planning component, which is based on the policy that we passed unanimously last spring to lay out a series of steps for capital planning that line up and to the best of our ability, don't overlap budget season because that becomes too many things at the same time. So the goal here is for us to do this capital planning work in advance of the sort of operating budget conversation so that A, we can feed that both to the mayor and to the council in advance of budget season, but also so that we're not sort of stepping on The need for, you know, extra meetings and things like that, um, for all of our staff, uh, for that purpose. So. Um, we have a meeting scheduled today and then we have a meeting scheduled in November. Um, we may or may not need both meetings. We'll sort of see how it goes today, but the goal for us is to. take last year's capital plan and go through it together and make some updates to it to the best of our knowledge, as well as add potential capital projects to it that don't exist on there now. And we'll talk a little bit about some of the work Peter has been doing to collect that information. And then really the other thing for us to do will be ultimately to come up with an attempt at prioritization of some kind for the whole giant list, um, so that we can clearly identify that for the school committee. Um, and then ultimately, um, to the mayor and the council and also, um, identify if there are projects that are potentially eligible for community preservation at, um, act funding, um, whether there's projects that are eligible to be included in that school spending, yes or no. And then, you know, sort of all other and to start to have an ongoing process, which has been a little bit haphazard over the last couple of years, or really maybe forever. But certainly, that it's been a thing that has been a work in progress for us. So really trying to get a more stringent process in place that aligns with that policy is sort of where we're at. Does that make sense so far? I am going to pull up a copy of Our Last capital plan. One second. This is where I will note my extreme dislike of Google Drive. So give me just one more second and we'll find it.
