I DON'T KNOW. I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED.   
          [00:00:01]
YOU WEREN'T YOU WEREN'T LYING. THIS IS 
EASY. YEAH. HECK YEAH. 
          MY NAME IS BRETT PETERSON. I AM THE BUDGET AND STRATEGIC 
PLANNING MANAGER IN THE BUDGET AND STRATEGIC   PLANNING DEPARTMENT. I HELP PREPARE AND 
OVERSEE THE BUDGET. WE WORK THROUGHOUT THE   YEAR WITH THE OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS AND 
PREPARING WHAT EXPENSES THEY'RE GOING TO   HAVE FOR THE YEAR OR BIG CAPITAL PURCHASES, WHAT 
PERSONNEL EXPENSES ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.  WE ALSO LOOK AT THE REVENUE SIDE AS FAR AS 
PROPERTY TAXES AND SALES TAXES AND OTHER FEES   THAT THE CITY CHARGES. 
          ARE YOU A COFFEE 
OR TEA PERSON? PROBABLY NEITHER. WATER, WATER PERSON. 
          ARE YOU A TEXTER OR A CALLER? I WOULD 
SAY I LIKE TO CALL MORE. I THINK SOMETIMES IT'S   EASIER THAN WRITING OUT SEVERAL SENTENCES. EARLY 
BIRD. UH, EARLY BIRD. DEFINITELY AN EARLY BIRD.   FUN FACT ABOUT YOU THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO SHARE 
WITH US THAT WE NORMALLY WOULDN'T. SO, ABOUT ME,   I ACTUALLY GREW UP PARTIALLY IN THE CITY OF 
FRISCO. I MOVED HERE IN THE '90S. I GRADUATED   HIGH SCHOOL FROM FRISCO. MET MY WIFE HERE. 
SHE TEACHES FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. KIDS GO   TO SCHOOL HERE. SO, AGAIN, VERY VERY FORTUNATE TO 
BE BLESSED AND BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.
