1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, big council meeting today is we mentioned, could

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: be the final one before the election. And a few

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: things on the agenda whether or not to rename the

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: art gallery and museum, well not too much rename, but

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: just add a name. And then also whether to spend

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: around three hundred thousand dollars giving the Rakaire salmon a renovation.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: This has caused a few gills to flap. So I

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: hit the streets yesterday. Well, I was at the quiz

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: night last night taking some thoughts on this three hundred

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: grand on the Rakais salmon. Yeay or nay nay.

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: It doesn't do anything for the local business people. I

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: stop and take a photo or carry on driving. It

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: doesn't draw anyone just spending any money in the region.

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: It's a marketing tool. Think of how many pictures of

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: the salmon are out there on people's Instagram and TikTok feeds.

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: The still doesn't spend any money in requd.

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Where's the return on investment?

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 3: You say, yeah, they could just take it away and

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: put a plaque instead. That says the one that got away.

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Three hundred grand on the Racaire salmon. I think we

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: should go for it. I think of gork can do it,

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: We can do it better. Yeah, because they only referved

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: the trout a couple of years back, right, I believe. So, yeah,

24
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: let's just get their joker onto it. I can't imagine

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: that Gore would have spend that sort of money. No,

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: well I don't think so either. It's three hundred grand

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,919
Speaker 1: on the recaire salmon. Shall we do it? Just seems

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: like a lot of money. You reckon, you could do

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: a bit of job.

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: Probably not.

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to think I could, but I don't think

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: I can. Yeah, I'm much the same. We'll go back

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: to the counselors reeling that one in this afternoon. Another

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: idea that cropped up after the recorder stopped rolling, But

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: I thought, that's genius. Why don't we take the salmon

36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: as it is, cut it in half, and then paint

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: that half that you've cut pink, and then it's a

38
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: salmon filet, and then it should be half the US right,

39
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: genius
