0:09 – 0:21•Speaker 1

So, let's start with this.

0:22•Speaker 5

No, I thought about this for a long time.

0:35•Speaker 2

Hi, here we are. Video. Oh, why is it so terrible? Oh, you don't...

0:45•Speaker 5

Okay, perfect.

0:47 – 0:59•Speaker 2

You don't need to see any of this. Yes.

0:59•Speaker 5

Actually, it's me.

1:02•Speaker 1

I was about to send you a mail. I got an address for the station today. So, we'll start working on getting it done.

1:07•Speaker 2

Yes, of course. Tomorrow. We'll see about that.

1:12 – 1:30•Speaker 1

But, okay, we're supposed to be live streaming right now. Amman, the door is open. You need to go back around here. But yes. You can. Maybe I think you can do it right now.

1:30•Speaker 4

There's Amman.

1:47 – 2:02•Speaker 2

Okay, here we are. Okay. Okay, the voice is running. Yes, if you encounter anything, let me know. They can hear us now. Yes, they can hear. The voice is passing through.

2:02 – 2:13•Speaker 1

They are supposed to be able to see everyone on the phone. Maybe you will have to turn around a little. But apart from that, yes, the voice, the voice is live. And we are in motion.

2:18•Speaker 5

Seventy-four nights.

2:21 – 3:03•Speaker 1

I don't sleep at night. It's not in the performance. Thank you for coming.

3:27•Speaker 5

Always. Let's see, and we'll start in another minus three minutes.

3:54•Speaker 2

I remember John, I remember

4:16•Speaker 2

Part of this. Oh, yes. The table behind there. Of course. You can feel free to put them there, or you want to share them with people.

4:26•Speaker 1

Please. Okay, I only need half a plate. So...

4:28•Speaker 6

If someone is interested in the program, or wants the block, here are a few tips on how to sign up.

4:43 – 5:24•Speaker 5

We will start in two minutes. The video. Ah, this? I'm not sure. This? It's called Yanshuf, ouch.

5:25 – 5:46•Speaker 4

But I'm not sure of the creator. Rani, tell me when you want the two of them.

5:59•Speaker 5

He's going to give a piece of each side.

6:04 – 6:36•Speaker 1

That would be nice, guys. That would be nice. That would be nice. That would be nice. That would be nice. We started using it. All right. It's 6 o'clock in the evening. Amam, I think we should start. Do you want to start?

6:36 – 6:54•Speaker 2

All right. Well, thank you. Yes. My name is Peter Don, and I am the director of the circle here. We'll do that in a circle format, and then we'll be doing a presentation by the members of the committee, and then we'll have some discussion.

6:54•Speaker 5

And then there'll be some time for discussion.

6:59 – 7:36•Speaker 2

But first of all, we will present ourselves, and the questions I want to ask them are, present yourselves, say your name. What do sidewalks in Grand say to you? What thoughts or feelings do you have about our sidewalks? And I will start, and then we will make a deal. This is not a conversation, this is a circle. I was like that. Wait, I know. Welcome next! Feel free to take a chair, if you don't mind.

7:36•Speaker 5

So my name, my name is Peter Donovan.

7:40 – 8:00•Speaker 2

What the B-grand say to me is, that there are civic infrastructure, and I think that the word civic is pretty important here.

8:00•Speaker 5

And there are obviously network of public transport, and there is a borderline between public and private.

8:09•Speaker 2

So there are important borders between public and private, between the right of the city and private property.

8:23•Speaker 5

And there is a space where people can move on foot without speeding.

8:26 – 9:25•Speaker 2

There is time to be neighbors, to bless each other, and that's what I mean by everyday and charity. It's an opportunity for that. Whereas on the streets and on the streets, which are also urban infrastructure, we are sitting in our city halls, sitting in our city sheds, and we don't have a chance to interact with each other much. Whereas the streets are a kind of secondary space, where we have a borderline between public and private, and there is a place for two people to go to one side, or for people to go to the other. It's also a kind of public property. Sometimes, the management of public property has always been complicated. Amam, the public property, like our public air or public land, are in a certain sense connected, but I think that the key word for it is urban, and we are in a city or a town.

9:25•Speaker 5

Amam, kindness, is a different concept sometimes, but basically it says what we do as citizens of a city or a town.

9:41 – 11:07•Speaker 2

We, the Amem, are not soldiers who speak lessons first and ask questions afterwards. We, the Amem, relate to each other in a certain way, like in the city. And for me, the medrachot are the opportunity for you, the network for you, and the infrastructure for you. So, I will pass this question on to the room. Anna, introduce yourself, describe your name. What do the G-d's say to you and what thoughts or feelings do you have about the G-d's? My name is Stacy Sapir Artola. And I go to Amman every day, so I use a lot of G-d's. But in Amman, I have mixed feelings about the G-d. You know the distance between the G-d. Amem, the way I walk, I am happy, and the food on the street where I am, is much more than that. Their people are full of garbage from houses and garbage. But I love the beautiful roads, so I think they are important. And their people, I also live in the south of the city where they planted a lot of trees, and their people, I have a certain fear about the destruction of the trees, the loss of their income, and then the destruction of the return.

11:13 – 11:25•Speaker 4

That's good. I'm Anna.

11:25 – 12:26•Speaker 6

I'm Amam. I work in the city. I'm the new Theresa, as some of you may know, or the city mayor. So, I only started in December, then I met some of you, but not everyone. Amam, and so, I'm here tonight precisely for this reason, because sometimes trees and roads do collide, especially, you know, 30 years ago when the first city mayor was in town. Amam, and there weren't many bold decisions about the type of trees or where the trees were to be planted. Amam, it was a kind of wild west. So, this is my relationship with the Midrashot. But I also walk on foot every day, just as if I were a dog. So I enjoy doing a lot more walks in the Amem neighborhood and not just looking at trees. Amam, but I definitely look at trees and trees in chapters. So, Amam, you know, I work in a city, but I also use our city's infrastructure. And I have, you know, personal interest to continue to help her improve. I promise.

12:48 – 13:03•Speaker 6

I have trees that have fallen down now, I don't know, about 25 years ago, 30 years ago, and it definitely broke the fence, and the hard part is that I'm fixing the fence and it won't help because it will just keep destroying it.

13:10•Speaker 4

I don't have any sidewalks where I had gone before.

13:14 – 13:57•Speaker 6

It was my mom's house. I had a sidewalk on the other side of the street, which I find a little strange. It was like that for 42 years, and it was like that for 42 years. I'm just curious about the roads, to help the roads and see what we can do to improve them, because I think they add a lot to the city. But I don't really like the fact that there's something that gives me information. I try to mark it with a red mark so that people don't forget about it. But you know, if I keep replacing it all the time, it's pretty expensive. So that's why I'm here.

14:08 – 15:42•Speaker 1

You run, you try to run on the side. And so, I think we need to maintain the sidewalks. It is unfortunate that there are areas where there are no roads. Because you don't know what the situation is. Like there are areas where there is simply no road. There are areas where you feel that you are losing when the road ends completely, and now you are losing people's property, and now you need to change your route, whether you walk, run, or whatever it is. I also see the other side of it. It is very important to maintain. I pay for it, right? Not everyone has money to be able to afford it. So I have a personal interest to make sure that our community, I was here then in 1990. Oh, I missed the community. I could not always be busy, eh, because of work. Now I have the ability to be able to help and give my share and make this place better for other people. So I think we need to maintain roads and roads and see what we can do in the future.

15:47 – 16:29•Speaker 6

This is my hotel. And I have noticed that I'm walking a lot and I'm walking on my own, and it's a bit confusing when you know you have a path and then you have the ramp and then you get to the other side and there's no ramp to climb. It's the other side and there's no ramp to climb.

16:29•Speaker 4

It's just something like that.

16:34 – 17:11•Speaker 6

Yeah, I'm really lost. Yes, I really do think that medrachot are very, very important from a civil and national point of view. Simply on a personal level for your own health. Hello, I'm Terry Rose. And with regard to medrachot, I think they are very important to me. I think some people have the ability to get to the road, but I've learned in the past that that's not true.

17:15•Speaker 2

Thank you, Mark Rouson. I just see that in the midrash there is no support in the context of the expression of Ada.

17:23•Speaker 5

It doesn't exist.

17:27 – 18:08•Speaker 2

Things that are related to anxiety simply do not exist, and I understand that this is a higher responsibility than the full support of the Midrash. Yes, this is my responsibility, but if you go to every corner here, you will see that anxiety almost does not exist. And this anxiety is quite important to me. Thank you, I appreciate that you shared. I go and ride a bike every day, so I'm worried about safety, but I also need to balance the costs. You know, you have to determine exactly where these resources go, the money and the work, to get the safest routes. Thank you.

18:18 – 18:30•Speaker 7

I'm Carol Messinger, and I'm not a member of the Grand. I'm about to die, but I've got a chance to stay in the Grand. I'm for the sight, and I want to try to walk on the tracks, and I found them.

18:35 – 19:01•Speaker 7

There are branches that are too low. There are branches that block the path. And of course there are gaps in the path and I have to be very careful as I walk. I was lucky enough to live and walk in many cities, and I realize that when the streets are closed, it seems that the city has its own pride and has a lot of pride in itself.

19:03•Speaker 3

So I think that streets are a very important part of the city.

19:11•Speaker 6

I'm Marilyn Harpast. I live near Pierce to Sperrin, and my husband and I moved to the house where we lived 27 years ago.

19:19•Speaker 4

When we did that, we were required to repair the windows and fix the yellowed floors to make the wheelchairs feel like they were too expensive.

19:34 – 20:12•Speaker 6

I remember thinking to myself, is this really what the yellow thing means? But that's what's behind us now, and I don't know if there's any kind of fix that the owners of new homes need to do that. I think we got to the point where we got to the point where we got to the point where we got to the point where we got to the point where we got to the point where we got to the point where we got to the We couldn't let any of these swamps get on the sidewalk. There were a lot of brutal scuff.

20:12•Speaker 4

I don't see any of these being washed. They are not just seen in the suburbs, but all around the town.

20:24 – 21:04•Speaker 6

Um, Amam, for older people like me, with a problem with my back, building snow became a bit of a problem for me. I have a snowmobile. My husband had one that I simply pulled and walked behind him because it was so big, but now I have a smaller electric one that I can use myself. Um, Amam, then I don't know. I assume there's not much to do in Nidon. I hear that we have snow, apart from the fact that I see again throughout the city that no one has been climbing the stairs throughout the winter, right? Not to mention within 8 hours from the moment of snowfall, which is what the city officials said, I'm not sure they're still saying.

21:04•Speaker 7

Amazing, and then for sure, of course, especially from around the schools.

21:15 – 23:34•Speaker 6

I walk my dog up to the ring school where I pass the dog, which is very close to me, and in the two streets that I usually walk on in Sider Street, two streets right in front of the school, there's no sidewalks there Now, I don't know if that's the responsibility of the owner of the house. I know that the city will use the sidewalks and the transition, but the owner of the house, if I understand correctly, is responsible for maintaining those areas. And I don't know if we still need to fix a new sidewalk if it's damaged when we move into the house. That was a long time ago. I agree with Ada, she's sporadic in some parts of town, working in the specific area where I live at the moment. I have my neighbors on the side of the street, but there's no parking in front of the first street. So, your thought about you being on your toes, or pushing a baby, or someone in a wheelchair, or something like that, makes it hard. Amen. Oh, and now, you know, we're the last meeting, and many of us have been on the streets, and we all agree that there's a lot of people like this, and the residential areas, they really need to be taken care of. So now we've got the financial resources that are required to fill all these holes and maintain the roads and roads that have information and stuff like that. I loved what Karin Dudu said in the newspaper, you get what you pay for. And we're at the point, I think, in the current RAND where we need to be ready. To withdraw some money to fix some of these things, or just leave it as it is. These are the two possibilities. We can develop a few more possibilities, but I'm happy that you are a practical person.

23:34 – 23:59•Speaker 1

I, Vyas Eagle, and I use stairs every day. I walk a lot on foot. I, I don't walk, maybe once a week. So, I walk on my shoes. And I think of passages similar to Peter, which are urban structures just like the streets.

23:59•Speaker 5

And you know, you can kind of see a little difference.

24:08 – 25:19•Speaker 1

And you know, you can see a little difference. And you know, you can see a little difference. Not very often, knowing that people barely pass by here, I think. And so, some of the cities we've been to, I've been to the first sidewalks. And I chose to live in town because I like having that infrastructure. And so, I guess, I haven't been to the Grand Forestry, originally. And so I recognize this conflict between trees and forests, but I also believe that we need trees, especially when the summer gets hotter and hotter, they provide an amazing amount of shade. They contribute to our streets to maintain a longer period of time, so I would like to find a way in which we can integrate forests, and I agree with you, Marilyn, that we might just need to plant more. Thank you for joining us.

25:19•Speaker 6

My name is Kerry. I have lived here since 1998, but I lived outside of Pral. Then we bought a house a few years ago here in the city. I came here to study and listen to why all this is happening.

25:33 – 25:59•Speaker 2

Hi guys, I'm Eben Onfri, I'm the resident of this place my whole life. What are some of the things that stand out to me? I think that I can influence everyone in a certain way. I agree with everyone, but there are a few things that I think about them. The first thing is that it allows everyone to have freedom in all their rights. And the other one, which is a little bit wider, is a community health measure.

26:00•Speaker 5

That's how I see it.

26:02 – 26:28•Speaker 2

I see it as a sign of how much we care about our neighbors. It's a sign of how much we care about them. I think about how much we are connected to our community. And anyone who comes here and looks at the chapters, that's the first thing he'll see, and that's the message he'll receive. So, M, yes, that's how I see it. M, health and knowledge for the health of the community.

26:29 – 26:46•Speaker 1

Thank you for that. M, I'm going to level up a little bit, just because I failed in my opening remarks to start, so I'll keep it and put it all together. M, and I'll transfer it to Kel and return it to me. When it gets to me, I'll do what I'm supposed to do. Your whole process, yes.

26:52•Speaker 2

Tatsig et atzme.

27:20 – 29:00•Speaker 1

They, when it comes to demands, as they are, as they are related to the control of the Laren. And up to that point, I heard a lot. . . . . . . . M, and it can lead to a much longer conversation about this, but I will stop you for now. M, but A, I didn't think the community, I think they got used to this. I thought they got used to this and didn't care about the topic. They are the most popular thing that we have ever published on Facebook that was successful for their interaction was Denny and I were outside and we took a few pictures and we said that this is our fire control team in a cage, our fire control team and it became viral and it was amazing. as if there were almost 30,000 interactions. The second thing is in a distant place, as if these events are much more important to this community than videos. But the second most viral thing to me is videos, as if after I posted it, we had the most interaction. I understood at that moment, while I was writing about Ken Tzraot. And the community cared about it, and we have to talk about it. And that's why we have this round table. You want me? I thought you meant to go to Kyle.

29:00•Speaker 2

Me? I can go to you right now. Tell me to arrange.

29:04 – 30:28•Speaker 7

I'm Meraan Mezner, and of course we don't have stairs next to the house. We live on Sken Street, and I also highly appreciate everyone's efforts because I'm a volunteer, so I can hear all this, and it helps me understand when the city comes and says that we need to do things. But it's clear that everyone is walking on foot. It's hard to walk without, we're leaving our home, we need to get down the road, and then to a stairway, and then back. I mean, it's hard enough, and sometimes there is, as you said, waves, waves, and in this winter it's terrible. Not everyone gets snow from their kitchen. We don't have any. I don't have to worry about the stove. But for those who do, it's their responsibility to keep the stove clean. So, Amem, it's hard because then you go down the road, and then you go back to the road, and then you go up again. And with our children and grandchildren, I have a grandson who goes a lot to our house, he did it from the city center. Amem, he rides on his bikes sometimes, but it's important because he goes, he does it on the road. He does it on the roads, not on the roads. It's important. My children all did it, and I think it's really important. Roads are very important to our community. I walk on foot and use the sidewalk. I have a grandson with a sidewalk, and I am also in charge of urban development. So, it takes care of me.

30:31 – 30:56•Speaker 2

Ah, as the owner of a house and you built in the center of the city. I have a lot. One of the big ones in them was a power plant. But... On trees in the center of the city. Amam, ze, aval ze v'haacharayut hamishpetit al haetzim shenimtzayim b'neches, yesh li kama atzei alon b'dolim v'hem omrim nishim.

30:58•Speaker 5

They are responsible.

31:01 – 31:20•Speaker 2

The city holds them, but they are responsible to hold them. So if a tree falls and breaks down in the car, am I responsible for this or is this the city's responsibility? You are responsible. I am responsible because I want you to come see. It only looks like a guarantee.

31:20•Speaker 1

We're going to hold a lot more talks about it and you're totally right right now. I would say that you should just support us with what you want to share.

31:27 – 31:49•Speaker 2

We'll get to more of that. Okay. And another part is that we're not supposed to drink free drinks there. And there are a lot of those in Washington. All of these dirty drinks simply shake the ceiling and enter into the building of your friend. We need to replace them. Apart from that, I'm drunk. You're a drunk guy.

31:49•Speaker 5

I would like to see the whole street.

31:50 – 32:07•Speaker 1

Or a tunnel, or to cancel the whole subway, to cut because it's pretty bad. Okay, I'm Rod Sainz.

32:07 – 32:19•Speaker 5

I grew up here in the Grand by the high school in an old section of town, where the original planning of the neighborhood consisted of stone tunnels.

32:19•Speaker 1

So I grew up with tunnels, but I know that there are many parts of the city that were planned decades later.

32:27•Speaker 5

There are many sections of town that were flattened, you know, in later decades.

32:33 – 32:56•Speaker 1

Well, the whole microcosm was flattened in the late 80s, you know, and they didn't have cars. So, of course, they walked the side of the park. Of course, many of the neighborhoods in town were flat, and many of the neighborhoods in the city were later that day, and were built for free, because they didn't have money for sidewalks, and so sidewalks don't exist.

33:01•Speaker 5

To the extent that the right-of-way may have room for us to do most of the part of the regulation.

33:07 – 33:47•Speaker 1

And it's a big burden to say to people who live in those areas that you now have to put sidewalks in. So I think, as long as we all want to be able to walk to every place in every part of the city, the fact is that the possibility of building roads everywhere will be very high. So when I travel in the city, when I go to the city, I look for areas where the footpaths are the highest, and where crosswalks, highways, and sidewalks will have the greatest impact. And I know that a lot of Misderron is the center of the city of Shofar.

33:47•Speaker 5

And many of the residential areas were destroyed during the construction of significant infrastructure on the street.

34:06•Speaker 1

As cyclone repairs are done, you're required to bring up the new standards.

34:12•Speaker 5

But I think there's still room to look at sort of the areas where we could use most and self-harming places where some public money could be spent.

34:21 – 34:56•Speaker 1

I know that in the last two years, I know that two years ago, when the Central School, actually more than two years ago, moved from Sunset and Ack to Dabla and Skand, suddenly there was an approach to this school for a lot of children who had completely lost access to that school, where a whole bunch of kids go and mess up. And the city has lost access to the walking paths that lead to the center and also to Greenwood.

34:59•Speaker 5

Likewise, it's a great movement.

35:01 – 35:38•Speaker 1

I think they've done a great job identifying the high traffic areas. But I think there's still room for more investment. I think, you know, getting a third-party investment is an important part of it. Tony and I walk around quite a bit. We're going up to Bernie Park on C, exactly where it turns into Gagler. There's a little bit of a slowdown in the way that the trains pass and enter the park. I think that's an area that needs to be improved. I think that next to Safeway there's quite a bit of foot traffic. Maybe there's a few things that can be done there. I'm sure there's more to come.

35:46 – 35:57•Speaker 5

Little places that they go to, regular places that they go to, that would justify spending some money. So I'm happy to see that here they bring their obligations and their wishes.

36:05 – 36:50•Speaker 1

Excellent. I work with public works. So my relationship with roads and lines is very technical. They are a challenge in developing my projects because I need to fix them when I try to walk the roads that people want. They cost a lot of money, and this is a very large group of people who like to walk and drive. So they are a bit of a nuisance, but they are very loud. So a lot of times we work hard with them to try to solve problems. A lot of times the rolling wheel gets the oil and we try to find ways to cut the budget, but sometimes I go to eat two plates. That's my connection to this. And I... I got it. I'm sorry. Well, thank you. We'll have time for a discussion later, but let's finish this.

37:04 – 37:24•Speaker 2

Just to point that we have lots of wisdom and experience in this group, and I appreciate the opportunity to be here. And we'll have time for some discussion after that, but let's get to the presentation of Danny, Anna, and maybe even John. Yes, I'd like to start with that, okay? Yes. So yes.

37:24 – 39:06•Speaker 1

So first of all, I was supposed to get everyone's faces here. If you didn't understand the conversation so far, the topic is chapters. And yes, and related to this will of course be trees. Ah, I gave Merian a box here, and in the box there is a place to sign or write your name if you want, and ah, to add your email address if you want. Ah, then it will rotate in the room if you want to add your name. So, I ask you to please do this, and we will use this information only if you want, eh, to add you to our group list. This allows us to update you too often, we will send emails to people to know when we will complete these meetings. Ah, one thing I discovered in our community is that everyone has different places in which he searches for information, and we struggle to get to all of these places. Evans created a great way to communicate through the Grand Loop. Ah, that's another thing we can talk about later, but either way, eh, we want to communicate where you need to communicate to make sure that we are talking about what you want to talk about and solving the problems you want to solve. Vav, eh, in this specific case, I think there is a way for us to get to a solution, but it starts in this conversation. We are not going to solve anything tonight. Ah, but we are going to have a good conversation about it. It will bring us closer to the point in time when we will really start solving these problems. Ah, with that, I'm going to speak a few words that are less from now on, and I think the rest of you will share with me. Ah, Danny, the whole stage is yours.

39:06 – 43:09•Speaker 2

Yes, so what I will do is pass on these glasses, and after I try to pass on them, I will cut the information and then we will end the session of questions and answers. I will be happy to relate to any concerns you have. So what we are going to work on together today is to understand the purpose of the city. To remember the aspects of the city, the activities and the feelings that we have, and to identify the possibilities and possibilities of the various variations of the city. So, in 1954, like many cities in the east of Oregon, the owners of the houses are responsible for the maintenance of their homes. The actual rule is that the owners are responsible, that is, the person whose house is in front of the house, is responsible for the maintenance of the houses. And as a result, 90% of the donations are funded by the government or by the city by means of funds or shares. What we should remember is that the use of public funds is different from the use of private funds. Am I going in the wrong direction? Maybe. Yes. So, public use and payment are two different topics, and we'll be happy to answer those questions and see how it progresses. What role does the city have? The city needs to develop standards for its services and accessibility standards. The city also needs to care about the status of your site and the place of your brand. We will be notifying property owners and we will be aware of any issues that need to be addressed and through that we will be cooperating to speed up and provide cost-effective times and assess costs. Questions that residents raise to close relatives are very sensitive according to the ADA, especially when it comes to rents for wheelchairs and missing parts in the area. Some of the problems we see are tree roots, damaged trees, I don't know how many problems are there in the sidewalks. We also deal with the issue of economic instability, buried entrances, the possibility that they are economic. We are trying to work with the residents and do the best that we can. And when it comes to security, we see in the snow, two ways and two ways that we have. Up on the board there is a piece of paper showing how the road looks like. It shows that we have a roadway. Between the roadway and the roadway there is usually a roadway. And usually we have a roadway on a five-legged platform. And usually behind the roadway there are two feet of roadway. And then the private area begins. So, what presidents can see today is, if you recognize that you are suffering or that you have problems with them, you can talk about this accident and I will come to the place. We will look at it and see if there really is a problem. You can also ask about what accessibility standards apply.

43:09•Speaker 5

We use ADA standards, not a few, so I can help you with accessibility standards in this regard.

43:20•Speaker 1

Some of the things that we have done is partnership.

43:22 – 44:52•Speaker 2

We are always looking for partners and partners in the future. We definitely provide assistance in the case of financial distress. We have financial agreements with Kablan to help connect Kablan to your rescue. You know, one of the questions for discussion is a greater financial responsibility. So how do you need to process the possibilities? We need to test the activity for the community, what it does to the community and what it does to the neighborhoods. And on the other hand, we have public highways. Who pays for these highways and where does this money come from? So in total, there are about 70 miles of roads in the city. If we look at the estimated value of 10% that needs to be repaired, we are talking about about 4.5 million dollars if we look at all 70 emails of the medrachot. The point of view is that the city, if you look at our budget, you know, the annual maintenance for roads is 1.5 million. For the sake of calculation, it is minus 4.5 million if we calculate each road in the city is a pretty significant amount, only 10%.

44:52•Speaker 1

Only 10%. Yes, Dan, can I ask you a question? Please. Then he said that there are about 70 miles of roads in the city today.

45:01 – 45:17•Speaker 5

If you were to put signs on every block of the city, how many people would be there? I assume we were in the area of A-90 plus miles. So there's only 20 miles in the city, 20 miles of empty streets.

45:17 – 46:48•Speaker 2

Well, and that's included in A-70 plus miles. On some of the streets, there's a street only on one side. You don't have both sides. And that's kind of the thing that's really not fair when you're trying to get it. Yes, it's also the value in his head alone. So yes, I won't get to that. I'm just trying to understand. Yes, I won't write about it in my name. But that's because I want to say 84 miles of road. Yes, so you think that block is 300 feet. So that means that 200 feet on each side of the sidewalk. So... And there's also this. Okay. So, we did a two-map changing order and then we'll get to our options. We first want to hear from the community itself and see where their concerns are. To look at the legal, financial, and medical impacts. For example, if the city suddenly takes responsibility for all the accidents that have occurred, what will that do to our security regarding the rise in cases? direction, the council could decide whether to proceed with these ideas or to leave the situation as it is. Ordinance change is one option, and the public process means that the public will come to the council and ask for change and decide where the discussion will take place.

46:59•Speaker 5

So this is part of our questions and answers.

47:03•Speaker 2

What did you hear and what do you want to add to this conversation? Because together we can come up with ideas to improve this.

47:10 – 48:09•Speaker 6

And just to interrupt and add, because we talked about trees because I think it might be a bit too much, but yes, it was a quick review if you noticed. But just because, as we said before, this is part of the conversation. And that's actually fine, because you can simply replace the stairs in this exhibition with trees, and most of the things will still be relevant. Then the fields, as Dani said, in the east of Oregon, most of the mountains in the west are actually different on the east coast. Stairs and trees are in the city area, but according to the fields that most of the mountains have here, the owners of the adjacent properties are required to maintain them. And so my job, just like Annie's, is to do the same thing as Annie's, to listen to the people, to follow the rules, and hopefully plan and issue some traps so that we can preserve both the green infrastructure and our art infrastructure in the city.

48:15•Speaker 5

So, we need to talk more about trees later, but just, yeah, I'd also say that it's basically almost the same thing for trees and paths.

48:23•Speaker 6

So, we can ask a question related to trees.

48:25 – 49:44•Speaker 7

Somebody said, and I think they mentioned this in a previous meeting, my trees have been there for 20 years and it's a different kind of tree than what's allowed today, so it's probably not happy right now. What options are there? I know we took our trees out, and then we worked with the city, and we sold them, and we were able to buy them, and we were able to sell them, and we were able to buy them, and we were able to sell them, and we were able to buy them, and we were able to sell them, and we were able to buy them, and we were able to sell them, Because when we bought our place back at the end of the 90s and we did the Midrashah in the corner, we found a ramp and then we looked at the trees and said, God, in another ten years our Midrashahs will be green. And soon, I think that a few years ago, about three years ago, we finally got some of the old trees that were really in their roots. It's amazing what you can find with time. So, do you still have this program? Yes, yes, we still have our tree planting program.

49:44 – 50:19•Speaker 6

We plant the trees during harvest, and so we turn it into a big tree planting event. Volunteers arrive, many young farmers who will help you plant the trees if you don't want to do it yourself. And I will open a new store and sign for you where it is allowed. Amman, and so, trees, if it was up to you to go to DMV, you know, they sell them in bulk from what I can afford to buy them at a full price. So we are losing this opportunity for the residents. and so it's worth $40 for a street tree. In fact, we now have a huge supply for certain areas of Bahrain. In order to prevent traffic jams, we also offer protective masks because we really want to increase the number of trees.

50:19•Speaker 7

It doesn't have to be exactly next to the road.

50:21 – 50:42•Speaker 6

If there is a place and this is the right place for the right tree, you can definitely drink one in the street, but not everyone has it. So, we have a huge supply that helps with this problem even more. But yes, Amam, the repair is a question of whether the tree is dead and dangerous. We are really trying not to lose it.

50:42•Speaker 7

We are trying to preserve it or if there is a new development that is happening. So that's what our repair is saying. If so, please invite me. We'll have a conversation. I have a couple of things to say about the trees and the repairs.

51:02 – 51:13•Speaker 6

I don't remember how many years ago, I don't remember anything anymore, but a few years ago there was a repair that needed to bend the wings to the height of 13, I think it was 13 feet, which in my opinion is really nice because there are so many streets that you can't see from the front.

51:25•Speaker 4

I guess enforcement.

51:28 – 51:48•Speaker 6

That's the thing that I see. And I know that it's hard for us in the city to keep a person responsible for enforcement. It's not a popular job. You reach out to someone and tell them that they need to take care of this. But there are so many things that are safety hazards that I need to be really enforced.

51:48 – 56:01•Speaker 2

And I don't know if we need, you know, an ambulance or something, but if there's anyone who can handle the screams, then to contribute to some of their people. I hope that when everyone is here, we will be able to know for sure that our desire in this meeting is first of all to educate the nation about the present reality, and I think that everyone understands that. The nation, and then, of course, to conduct a discussion on how the future can be seen and what the reality of what will be required in any possibility that opens up, to continue to develop what are the advantages and disadvantages of these, and then to reach a community solution on how we can implement it. The reality is that currently in our team, we have two different types of enforcement of civil rights. One of them, as Danny explained to you, is that he, along with many other people, goes out and tries to be involved in the matter and comes in time to rely on phone calls to respond and deal with the suspect. But usually, this conversation ends with the person you are talking to is the one who is responsible for dealing with the situation according to existing laws. And this usually ends in many ways and different ways it can happen. Some of the questions were, why don't you give these people messages and force it to happen? And what I can say is that there is a long list of reasons why things happen or don't happen. Everyone is competing here and there. And what I'm saying is that no matter how well we operate here, there is no perfect solution. But I'm sure that we can get to something that is better. And as Danny said, together we can find the solutions and implement them, and we are willing to do so. As soon as we get to the point where we will be close, as long as we can agree on a community solution, because I promise that if we do this for the city, we will assume that the number of 4.5 million dollars is accurate. We currently don't have the money to take care of the streets and the roads, not to mention to add to that an additional budget. Then we can get to a situation where the city will be safe. And it is possible to say that the problem is the city, but it does not solve the problem, right? We want to solve the problem, and we can expand on this much more in the meetings of the residents, in which we will cover this topic and other topics in the way in which we deal with things. But there is not enough money, and it does not matter how hard everyone is living in their homes right now. The cost of living depends on the income you have in your homes. And we know that we are part of this problem. The problem is that when we sit here and say that we want to add more rooms and so on, it will end up at the end, right? If the city takes on itself a kind of something new in addition to what you are currently paying, if this is the answer it gives, let's assume that it does this. Okay, now, how do we get over this? And this is what part of this conversation dealt with. But I can tell you that we have great professional people in public works who are willing to do everything we have money for, and to tell the truth, they are even willing to do more than what they have money for. But even for this there is a limitation. I have a double question. Then I'll enjoy her first question. Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

56:01•Speaker 1

So, I know that the test is 13 feet above the road and minus 8 feet above the stairs. 15 feet.

56:14•Speaker 2

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was gay.

56:16•Speaker 6

Close to Lamed minus 13. We're not going to film there.

56:19•Speaker 1

From now on. I see the city is doing road maintenance.

56:25 – 57:16•Speaker 6

So, the city... Yes, this city had a rotation maintenance program a few years ago, in which a public works department transferred the money to the taxpayer to perform this later. Then it was an easy step from the repair, in which the city took responsibility much less than the way we're doing road repairs. Amam, but this indeed existed in the past. Unfortunately, this is back to the situation that the construction failed on the owner of the house. But again, with those huge funds that we offer to certain neighborhoods, we earned a lot of money that is being spent on health care and transportation, as we did in many of the Greenwood areas. Amam, the huge amount was for a lower cost of living, that is, fewer trees and in neighborhoods with a lower socio-economic situation. Then we started there and we will work through several other neighborhoods in the city. Then, as Dani noted, large storage is part of the slow solution.

57:16•Speaker 4

But unfortunately, it's only for the next two years.

57:19 – 57:41•Speaker 6

And again, it's not for the whole city, but yes, you divided players on block usage. One of my ideas that I would like to share with you is health events. I love to teach people how to grow. We can easily grow things on the road from the ground. I have tools. We throw everything to the impact truck. I will take it to our warehouse through the mountain.

57:45•Speaker 5

They finished.

57:46 – 59:01•Speaker 6

Yes, we have tools. I would love to teach people if you are willing to help me rescue your neighbors. And I can bring excellent volunteers like Laia and Tony who have experience and can help the teachers. Yes. I intended to come. Yes. I also thought about it, because we had problems with our tree, and because of that we replaced it, it came up the stairs, and I called and they said no, our stairs are on the other side of the street. So they can't do anything, but maybe someone from OC needs to come to the next meeting. Because I think they have a name to help house owners. to share an action with Votek in order to identify at least 10 trees to the 10 that are under those that were planted. Sometimes they reach a point where it is impossible to grow them more, they do not grow and they are in danger because it is not good for them. So Otsch removes these trees. We'll add this to the yearbook. Okay.

59:25 – 1:00:38•Speaker 2

So yes, what is the actual cost of a broken leg? A broken leg is a broken leg. About $60 per leg. Only the concrete is installed in the place. It's 40 installed in the place. Yes, installed in the place. And the other thing that you probably don't know is that we have a program. It's called a training program. And so if you want to change a path in your home, fix it or fix it, call us. I'll come and prepare the evaluation for this path. And we have a receptionist who comes and does the work. So you don't have to look for a receptionist of your own. You know the price in advance. I pay for all the checks. All you need is to sign the form. And what we do in this program is to train the owners of the property for up to 10 years. I think this is a great deal. Great deal. We did it when we did our own because we had a hard time waiting.

1:00:38•Speaker 4

We bought a house on the street and even then it was really expensive and we couldn't afford it.

1:00:44•Speaker 1

Accurate step.

1:00:56•Speaker 5

Yo, then the current price is about $120 per foot.

1:01:00•Speaker 1

Yes, and if you want to replace something, you know, just call me.

1:01:03•Speaker 2

I'll go down there. I don't want to do that. So, if I were you, I would take responsibility for the steps, of course. Where will it come from?

1:01:22•Speaker 7

What does that mean?

1:01:24•Speaker 6

What does that mean?

1:01:24 – 1:01:36•Speaker 2

Yes, that's a very good question, because what he's asking is, you know, he's asking to take money from the priests or something, and you know that the priests' budget is only one and a half million a year, right? Yes. So, yes, some of that means...

1:01:44 – 1:02:23•Speaker 7

or we have to pay another tax on something else so we can do it. Because there is no money, then we have to pay the taxes. I still think that they are going back to the streets. Excuse me. Every person I ask, every person I ask thinks that there is money from our taxes, the property taxes, that goes to the right of the road and the streets, and that's not the case. But every person I talk to, whether it's through our business or through us, I talk to the military. Excuse me, I'm trying to get around.

1:02:23•Speaker 4

So, everybody thinks there's some tax problem that are being enforced to take care of the right-of-way property.

1:02:38 – 1:09:01•Speaker 1

And if that's not the case, then how do we transfer this information out to make it work? Yes, that's a great question. The they, I can tell you that this is the beginning of the process here and now. The they and I, I, I, I. I dare to say so, but I am willing to make as many mistakes as possible, in order to make us talk about the things we need to talk about, but I also want us to talk about them in a productive way. There are many efforts that are made to do this not in a productive way, and all it does is prevent us from reaching real solutions. Ahem, and therefore, ahem, I, what I, as you may have noticed, we do many different community meetings when people, when the subject becomes known to me. We, we will do, ahem, streets and roads. We did about seven or eight, ahem, community meetings. I don't know. I don't know. We entered the budget, Amem, a little money that we got to use on the budget, so that we can publish in other places as well, but it's a piece of cake because we couldn't waste it on ourselves. Amem, and what we really need is simple people like those you are talking about, who will be willing to say that they are willing to talk about it. Give me the opportunity and the place and the time you want to do it, and we will do it, we will come and talk. We don't have to, Amam, we don't have to love the facts, but we will share the facts. Amen. And then we'll show the community what we know from a legal point of view as a way to develop the solution. And then together we'll decide as a community what the solution is, because there is no solution prepared for the money for any of the problems that we have in the community that will provide us with the solution. But what I can tell you is that together we can solve all one of the problems. Amam, part of it took time, and most of us didn't, most of us wanted to reach the money. So, yeah. Amam, Az, Amem, one request I have from this group is, Amem, let's do it again, but tell me if you're ready, when and where do you want to do it, and we, let me go back for a moment. Our team is not big. Contrary to guards who might be surrounding the community, we don't have a lot of human strength. And I can tell you that the price that my team pays because I go out and cause trouble is significant. Their people are not used to receiving, as if, some of the people are asked beautiful questions. Other people are simply humiliated and humiliated. Their people and each of my team members feel that I am the reason for this problem. Amam, because before that no one gave me, Amem gave me. All the respect to you, all the respect to you. What I can say is that I am not, I am not insensitive to their frustration. Amam, but I also, at some point along the way, created a perception that there is, we, and they. There is a government and there is a community, and these two lines never need to meet more than what is definitely required. What I can tell you is that if you believe in this model at all, it doesn't work. And when I look around Belgrant and I see what problems, I'm only here for a year. By the way, yesterday I counted a year. Amem, when I look around at Gran, I can see those problems. I learn to recognize them in a more intimate way. I can tell you that I had three military events at home because of all the problems we are sitting here and talking about now, in my private home. Amem, but that's good, because I get to understand the problems in truth. I think I'm going to use the L.I. program to solve the problem of not buying a house with broken and bad windows. But I have to live according to those rules that everyone lives according to. I called Kel and asked, why are my windows in a bad condition? Why don't you fix my, hey, hey, hey, windows? I have a direct approach to them. And he told me, read the law, John. Windows. Amam, and the request here is, I want a community solution, no matter what everyone wants, but I also understand how it looks to manage it from the inside. And it's not like people like to spread more about the measure, and they do it with a good intention, but they spread the solutions too much. And as much as I would like to give a simple answer to the subject, the bottom line is that it is more complex than that. And as much as everyone wants us to turn it into simple and want to believe that it is simple, it is simply not like that. And the only way we can do that is to separate it into separate topics, separate conversations, and separate environments. The cities that we build are wider. But that gives the community the opportunity to see in which direction we are going, how and why, and to be the owners of the opportunity to be responsible for us. Amam, but we have to make everyone understand in the same way as much as possible. And that's what this meeting is about. Amam, I think I finally discovered another topic, so I have to stop. Yes, go ahead. Women first.

1:09:12•Speaker 7

I don't know if it's appropriate, but I'm very proud of it, because I'm a person who wants to solve problems, and in any case, it's a temporary thing. And to me, it seems like a temporary thing, but the city is trying.

1:09:20•Speaker 3

It would be really convenient if in the more high-risk areas, the city went out and just marked with paint, yellow paint or orange paint,

1:09:41•Speaker 7

Not blue, please. As a person with autism, blue is not good. So, yeah, we'll paint it. Where do the blue ones go?

1:09:46•Speaker 4

So that the pedestrians or pedestrians will be aware of them and will be aware when they arrive in the area.

1:09:53 – 1:10:10•Speaker 7

So that you can take fear when you get to that area. I know it's not a permanent solution, but like I said, it can make people think, oh, what's going on here. I love this idea, and I think you need my help.

1:10:10•Speaker 1

Mom, I'm not sure, there's probably a lot of reasons why not do it. But what I can say is that it also makes people ask, why is it like this? And it makes us talk about it.

1:10:29•Speaker 2

Amam, az ken, lo, ani b'mabat rishon.

1:10:34•Speaker 7

I know that it helped me in other cities when they did it to operate in much easier ways.

1:10:39•Speaker 1

If anyone of you will take a spray and start doing it, I promise I won't give our team to give you a hint. Usually, before people start running in front of you. No, no.

1:10:46•Speaker 6

I think we need to make sure that as a recipient, when you ask for a discount, there are certain colors that have a clear meaning.

1:11:03•Speaker 7

So, in the past, they didn't sign when they were in different communities. Hi, you have two years to fix your paths. That's what we're going to fix, and then we have to... Hey, we did this.

1:11:11•Speaker 4

You know, I've been in the city a few times lately, but you can assume it's not popular.

1:11:31 – 1:12:22•Speaker 1

. . . . . . . . . . . I think it's a two-year budget problem for the entire city, but it's not enough. Sometimes it's a little more, depending on the temperature of the stones that are falling on them. So if you're going to have to spend half of the winter, the city center is closed once a month. And you do this ritual in order to prevent the hair follicles from filling up and to prevent the hair follicles from growing, otherwise you will have a lot of trouble.

1:12:23 – 1:14:26•Speaker 2

But one of the things that prevents us from going straight to the station sometimes is because of the trees. So when these trees are not at a height of 13 feet above the line of the station, the cars can't stand without them. So sometimes if you see a bus next to the station that doesn't park, it's because they can't get close enough. and also because of traffic jams. Many times we activate the lights in early hours, starting at 2 or 3 a.m., which causes problems because people are parking on the street. But can we use the rules that say that on such and such a day and such and such an hour, it is forbidden to park here, and it is a permanent rule that remains in the neighborhood, and you just know that on the second day, the second or third day of the month, it is forbidden to park there. I'm just saying, from the place where we lived in the past, we know that the owners ran to move the car. Yes, so that he will not receive a curse. It will be difficult because the curse will be only two days a year and it will hurt exactly on these two days this year it will be enough. If it was as simple as the curse you describe, where you are there on the second or third day every month, it would be perfect. In general, we take out our street workers to clean the toilets, so they usually do it when it's convenient. It's a matter of when you have a problem with the schedule of work and you want to do something, you take out the toilets in the morning and they go around. However, I invite you that if you encounter problems with cleaning the area, do not hesitate to call us because we are worried about arrangements to make sure that the area is clean from the house. Yes, this is MO. Yes, that's fine.

1:14:30 – 1:15:11•Speaker 6

I don't know, but... I saw something about it yesterday. But the prices, according to what she said at the moment. I drove, I had to deal with a part of public works several times.

1:15:11 – 1:15:36•Speaker 1

One of them was to replace my main line of travel. They told me, no, we can't do that. You want what? The first was, say again, I had to replace the main line of travel that goes to the street. Because the house was built in 1915 and they said, no, you can't do that. What does it mean, I can't do that? Well, there's a moratorium, a 5-year suspension on road suspension.

1:15:36 – 1:15:47•Speaker 2

Okay. I said, okay, you have a moratorium. Silence. Oh, you can relate to that. It's me. Oh, okay.

1:15:48•Speaker 1

When, when, when did it happen? A few years ago. But then I say, who's Simon Morse's manager? No, he didn't do it. He doesn't make decisions.

1:15:58 – 1:16:46•Speaker 1

And so? Listen, I succeeded, I succeeded in changing it. You know, Kyle, I hope they're not like this anymore. We'll see if it'll make you laugh. No. So, yes, yes, no, Kyle is definitely not going to flirt with you. And in fact, I even brought with me my invitation cards. So, my friend, anyone who wants one can take it. And I can assure you that if you send me an email, I will make sure that you will get an answer from whoever you want to talk to, and they will respond. But I can also tell you that the moratorium exists for certain reasons, right? And this is another of those things that always clash with another topic. The people, and this is the bottom line, are forced to do what they have done very well. And other people will complain about the fact that we are now breaking a road that we just finished working on. So there is no perfect solution, but you are not wrong about what you want.

1:16:47 – 1:17:21•Speaker 2

but I went and took pictures of where the city was digging. Yes, look, I think the perfect solution is that the responsibility is on the city to perform the work at the advanced stage of the development. So, one of the changes we made is that we perform all the infrastructure changes with water pipes. We check with the owners of the houses on the issue of tourism and perform full tests. We send tickets to the owners of the houses and say, Hi, you have a problem with the video. Are you going to cut the video out of the video? We can't know what happened. And if I can't show that I came before I walked down the street, it's very hard for me to tell you that it's forbidden to cut it. Yes. They work very hard to get this knowledge in the first place.

1:17:21 – 1:17:41•Speaker 1

But eventually there will be a time when we haven't talked to the right person or that the house is in the wrong time or something like that. We'll just try to get to the perfect result, but we won't succeed.

1:17:41 – 1:18:00•Speaker 2

Yes, they just looked young and playful. Yes, and that person who did the thing said that there are seven more families who told me not to come with them. Can I ask a question about the immigration from the United States? Yes.

1:18:01•Speaker 7

Who did it? The state or?

1:18:03•Speaker 2

Ah, you're going to be there. Ah, in front of the US Bank.

1:18:07•Speaker 7

But the ones who are right are the ones who are right. Those who look dumb. Those who don't look dumb.

1:18:13 – 1:18:41•Speaker 2

I saw that. And then, the idea behind it was, and it's the entire idea of the state, that it's supposed to be an area that can't be moved, so that people who are visually impaired will know in advance about these round, round stones, that they are in the wrong place, and not in the right direction, that you can feel with your feet and feet. But yes, there is this.

1:18:41•Speaker 1

So, as a city, do we have any opinion about how it looks? Yes.

1:18:46•Speaker 5

The state has its own legal system for EIDs. How do we get them?

1:18:51•Speaker 2

Like? A state. People who drive in the city see this.

1:19:10 – 1:24:09•Speaker 1

So allow me to add a little to that. The only thing I wouldn't want is for it to look as if we are voting for the Ministry of Transportation and telling them, it's up to you. We are talking about the problems we have in the city. The Ministry of Transportation also has very real problems. And I can say that it does not lack responsibility for any of these issues. In the last two days, at the last city council meeting, someone came and mentioned a problem in Gesher Eli who said that this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation. The Ministry of Transportation does not have the funding or resources to deal with this. Then, in order to try and help with this, we broke the original budget and took resources from one location in order to transfer them there, in order to deal with this specific problem and solve it. Then the matter was solved, but I can tell you that technically we were not supposed to do it. Because it is not a problem of urbanization, but together with it, our city sees it and is forced to deal with it. And what I wanted to clarify here is that the problems of the Ministry of Transportation, or DOT, are real, just like everyone else's. When they worked here recently on the street, there were people who complained about the ADAMS orders. And absolutely right. Maybe you don't know, but the ADAMS orders are under the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation, not under the responsibility of the city of Lerand. A few years ago, they were supposed to come and renew the entire area and improve the situation. And then a claim was made against them that they should be treated with all kinds of sensitivity, AIDA, these in a forced way. This is a problem that must be solved. At the same time, all the budget that was supposed to go to repair the roads was lost. These are the kinds of problems that the government and the city need to deal with together. Because what we see today, because a construction site was built for a fire, could change tomorrow because of an unexpected event. And this is something that we need to be aware of as well. If we go back to the topic of the Midrashot, let's assume that the city finds itself in a certain period, I'm not talking about us specifically, but as an example only. If we find ourselves with resources that we can use to treat this problem, the public will perceive it as if this is our right to solve it. But it's not like that. We are simply trying to help solve the problem. But from that moment, the expectation is that we will continue to do so in the future as well. We are constantly thinking about it, and next year we may not have the same resources that we had this year, or that we will not receive a grant that will help us in this way. And the perception is, eh, this is the responsibility of the city. No, we just received a grant that helped us deal with it at that given moment. Then I can tell you from the point of view of a city manager that there is not one topic that can be sat down and tell him that it is a topic, let's just talk about it. If you are really willing to talk about it, it is possible to assume that you will get confused by all the different opinions that turn a topic that is supposed to be simple into a complex one. And that's because we are attached to things that the rest of the community is not attached to. The rules that we have to act according to in our budgets are different in terms of the rules of home management and personal input. As soon as something is cut off for a certain area, we can't just take it and move it somewhere else to use it. So the problem, and I will make a small advertisement here for ourselves right now, On September 9th, we will hold a community round table on your city budget. If you follow us on social media, every week we publish small pieces of information on issues related to the city budget, because the truth is that 90 minutes is not enough to cover all the doubts and different problems, depending on where the community wants to take the topic. Even when we sit here and talk about trains at the moment, we can waste four or five hours talking about trains and never feel that we are approaching a solution to the issue. But at the same time, the progress will actually be the understanding of the issue before the development of a practical solution. So the problem is that the organization is dealing with it for no good. But...

1:24:10 – 1:24:36•Speaker 2

Yes, I would like to return to the subject of the streets. I would like to ask Anna or anyone else if there are any insights about what other cities have done regarding maintenance or joint repair. Do you have any information, or does anyone who has interesting and relevant information about what other cities have done to solve some of these problems?

1:24:36•Speaker 5

I understand that.

1:24:39 – 1:25:32•Speaker 2

Yes, I am not aware of other cities that have programs like ours, but I am not sure they exist. I think it's a pretty good benefit for the RAND residents to get a grant that will do this job and that will give them the opportunity to finance it. So, when they call me to talk about someone who is a pilot, a man, and I need to talk to the owner of the house about it, it's an opportunity that I can offer them, listen, you know, pay. Maybe you don't have money right now, but we can finance it. I can help you and we can fix the problem. But what do other cities do to manage their people? I don't know. I'm not sure I understand the question. You can. You know, for example, we need to repair roads. That's the responsibility of the owner of the property. How do other cities deal with this issue?

1:25:39 – 1:26:51•Speaker 1

Then most of Oregon keeps the same types of rules that we have. The meme, for some, changes. But it depends on where you go. For some, there are very aggressive pressure actions that are intended to make me cry. I don't want to say to make me sad. The meme, it doesn't matter to get a note about speed, right? The meme, you get a note about speed and it becomes a kind of lesson. The meme, it's not exactly a note about speed. I'm just using the example. However, they have aggressive plans that aim to make people fix the behavior that needs to be fixed. So, depending on where we as a community set ourselves and what we want in this context, this is the next evolution of what will happen to us if we say, well, we don't want to change anything, but we wanted to see more aggressive pressure. Well, then these are the kinds of things that happen in other places. Amem, most of the people can't afford to do all of these things themselves. So very few of them really take on this responsibility alone. In fact, I haven't found anyone who does this. Amem, on one way or another, there is some kind of level of cooperation that takes place there.

1:26:53 – 1:27:11•Speaker 6

Yes, and on the eastern coast, it spreads over trees and roads, but this is the same road where the streets are full. It's just part of what you pay, right? And you enter the capital. So instead of the right of the road to be divided like it is, the city is just going to deal with all the rights of the road. So it's simple. I mean, it's just a waste of time like the rest of the streets.

1:27:16 – 1:27:46•Speaker 2

And I can tell you that when I lived on the east coast at a certain time, at least in New Jersey in any way, the prices there are higher. So if you think it's bad here, I promise you that it's really bad there too. And you can see how many proofs why this money is going. Amam, but I don't think there's anyone here who says, Hi, I don't think my missions are that terrible. Amem, and therefore we are not able to make it more valuable to you.

1:27:46 – 1:28:21•Speaker 1

What is the current situation regarding his house? Because today I went in line and turned to Hall, and to the house in front there was a house in the next house. But then the house just ended in the middle of the block. But then, in a new project like Green Avood, where the incubators are, they don't have any ways at all. Then there are a few moments for this matter. Kyle, you will comment on this first, and then I will tell you what I know.

1:28:21 – 1:28:32•Speaker 2

When it comes to new developments, I don't know when it will start, but since I've been managing, I know that when they are ready and feel the need for their site, the routes are available in the existing infrastructure around the new development.

1:28:32•Speaker 5

So maybe the ones I would bring would not be required to set up routes, but they would be required to sign a document.

1:28:42 – 1:30:02•Speaker 2

So when the infrastructure around them arrives, the owners will be forced to build these roads on their own. Then they will make sure that they will build roads, but because there is no existing infrastructure around, the city is trying to help develop and maintain low-cost buildings. Then they will continue with the project. So do I have a new neighborhood that needs to be roads now? Yes, a new neighborhood will be involved in the roads. If there is a foundation, and I think, for example, of True Homes and there, then True Homes is a little different because they have the right of way to move, but that's for construction purposes. Then we had a lot of developments that didn't have the right of way, so our police couldn't really get in and get away immediately. So, for example, in True Constellation, there is a right of way, but it's a private road. Then there is another round in the plans where they get permission that this street is not far from the street. Yes, don't worry. Excuse me, I'm trying to figure it out. Yes. Consider, for example, that there is an additional street next to it that has a number of private houses that I don't know if they are for rent or not, but yes, there are no streets there that fall under the agreement. So if it's the same one, the same type, the same type, a private part, for sure. Yes, yes.

1:30:02•Speaker 5

I think that along street 16, yes.

1:30:05 – 1:31:07•Speaker 2

Beit HaAvot is, in my opinion, the only one with a really good sidewalk. Yes. And we have a lot of L.I. agreements along the side there, the agreement not to add a street, and as soon as the city passes 50% of this part of the road, they can ask the owners of the properties to pay for the sidewalk. It's really not a very popular option. Most of the owners of these houses don't want to pay for the apartment. They want to pay for these streets. In the end, it's good for the city, but hey, we never reached the point that someone wanted to press the button to advance such a plan. It's a kind of... Then it seems that we need to plan routes regarding where the main traffic lanes will be and focus on them because we can't control the routes throughout the city. Then we need to determine where the money is going and where the efforts will be made. And you know, the city has already done that. You know, the routes that lead to the basic schools.

1:31:07•Speaker 5

I think we just have to figure out what the next step is.

1:31:25 – 1:32:44•Speaker 2

What if, you know, the areas in which we will get the most activity and security? Then we had two options, right? One was, eh, we got an offer for something called a community route. We took it and developed a plan on how to connect the southern part of the city to the city center, and it finally worked. There you see the 3-meter-long street that goes to 6th Street. In the course of this project, we also connected things. We conducted a B-21 study in a series of safe routes to the school, which identified most of the routes of the walk to the school. This was really the focus. Most of the money we spend on the routes comes from the donors of safe routes to the school. Ah, we focus on our projects. We did the island around Greenwood. We did the one outside the center. Oh, the proposal gave us money that was spent on the water and irrigation project in the beginning and they transferred it to Medrachot, which really helped with the infrastructure between the community center in the middle. Oh, but that was most of the opening of the Medrachot. We have that strategy. We just don't have one for the whole community. We have one big one with the community project and then we have the whole school, but we don't have a planned program for the regular students and the students that will lead to what you are talking about. But I agree. Supply.

1:32:45 – 1:34:04•Speaker 7

So I come back to Peter's question. Amam, what do other people do? So when we do work outside of the brand, let's say I have Pennington for example, I have to buy a Pendleton business to be able to work at Pendleton. So I think, I don't know what other cities do. Portland does the same thing. So if you work in other cities, you have to pay the city a kind of salary so you can work in their city. We did a job in Balaton and we visited the site, and one of the first things that came out of the shop was how they can't find someone local to do it. as if, and indeed, they are, we have a grocery store with this business, you know, local streets. Anyway, so I'm aiming, this is another investment of money so that we can eat, I'm aiming, even during the main market, the Shabbat market, you know, we have about what, we, we have people from outside, from the brand that enters, using our streets, that is, we used the toilets, you know, we use heavy, heavy equipment, and we go to these other cities on their roads, and they use it in their rooms and everywhere else. Then it can be possible to successfully transfer additional money to the city when you pay for them. Ah. Sheen.

1:34:15•Speaker 4

For the city authorities, they pay annual fees.

1:34:18•Speaker 7

Then we make sure that they are okay, that they have security, but then if you receive a advance payment, you also need to receive it. Yes, but we do not accept the payment at the moment for advance payment.

1:34:27 – 1:34:50•Speaker 2

Then they come, provide a security certificate, provide a number of CCP, and then... But yes, sometimes we don't like it, like in construction, we don't like them. But there's not so much either, if I understand correctly, maybe seven people or something like that.

1:34:50•Speaker 7

Anyway, no, I'm talking about any kind of business. Then because I'm not a pilot. We have, then we can do something like that. Amen.

1:35:34 – 1:38:36•Speaker 1

Amem, I would like to conclude the meeting by saying that it was very successful, considering the fact that we all came here and held this conversation. Amem, and I also learned that there is a clear need in section 2.0 of Amem's sermons, which we will extend. Amam, so you can see that we will invite this event in the future. Get an email from me tomorrow, Amam, for those who sent an email, Amem, to thank you for that. Then you will also have my email that you can contact me back if you want. Amam, and I will appreciate any feedback you have regarding what we can do better. Amam, and then Amam, if you have an idea for a time, place, or location where you would like to see us do another version of this or even do 2.0 in the future, then Amemi, what I can say is that we will try to fulfill the request or this desire, Amem, in the framework of the ability of our team to do so. Amam Peter, let me say thank you to Peter. Amem, Peter joined us when the truth is that I met him by chance. We, Amemi, did things in the main market and he passed by, Amem, and was willing to stop and talk to me for a few minutes as a result of that. Amem, to our good luck, maybe today he feels that it was a mistake. Amem, he joined us to gather the community. Amem, after the gathering, Amem, he asked to meet me just to talk about what happened at the gathering. We met in the same conversation. He said, I want to be involved and help. And we talked about the separation of different things that can be done to try to help. And he said, I want to help us manage quality conversations and that he will be part of our help to figure out what it looks like. Then, through this work, Amem's mind was opened. Amem, I thank you for this. Peter. Amem. And then I would say that this is also an example of what I want to do as a community, simply if you, we have a limited ability on the city side to do things like this. We will support as much as we can if you give us the opportunity to do so, but the more people there are, the easier it is. Amam, and if you are willing to come and be active friends with the help of this, then I can say that you will be given some time for you so that this will happen, if only you will be willing to be involved. But what do you know? What you did is that you did the right loop. And can they put the city council's board as you stole it? You know. Yes. It will be great if it will be in every council and in the big theater. We have a few new owners. They are great people and maybe a dead body.

1:38:44•Speaker 7

That is, because it is a respectable group, but compared to the size of Iran, there needs to be more.

1:38:49 – 1:39:02•Speaker 1

And you know, to spread the word and say that it is difficult for you to do it, I thought it was a great idea. I like to receive. How can we publish this more so that everyone knows how to send their information?

1:39:08•Speaker 5

You are invited.

1:39:14•Speaker 1

Amam, then here is a stamp. I will give it to anyone who wants and can take it. We are going to create more like this in order to be able to cause people to take them if you want to talk about it.

1:39:25 – 1:41:10•Speaker 2

Yes, of course. Yes, a friend. The meme is one thing I saw when I came to these meetings. And the topic I understood from it, something I thought about for a long time, is the lack of communication, I assume. And it's not because the media doesn't exist. It's because in the world we live in today, it's distributed everywhere. And unfortunately, I think it's just a matter of time. So I'm trying to bring it back to the local level. And at the moment, it's just a list of meetings alone. I don't ask for anything from you. I just want you to sign and send me your information. And I'm trying to spread this back to the community because I think that if we don't get along, then we won't be able to manage these conversations. As mentioned, I would think that this room would be full if people knew about it. And yes, John is breaking Facebook, but there are a lot of people who don't want to be there. He doesn't want to be there. I don't think so. And you're doing a good job. Then I, as a resident of the Grand, or someone who cares about his community, I want to see people involved and I want people to be familiar. Then, in any case, delete this link. Call it the Grand Log. You can search on Google. It seems to me that it is jumping on Google now. And there is a place to sign. Enter your email address. You are automatically signed. And I send my assistant on the first day with events that are coming up every week. I'm going to start counting more months ahead. There is a calendar there that keeps everything and I'm really trying to stay here in the city with what's going on there. Including small meetings and all kinds of city council meetings when I find time. But yes, just a way to try to connect to our community a little better. Then when I send the mail...

1:41:10 – 1:41:22•Speaker 1

I got in this morning and my breakfast was on it. Yes, thank you for sending it. How far ahead are you?

1:41:23 – 1:42:25•Speaker 2

It depends on how far ahead people publish their things. For example, the book of Elijah is very expensive. I can collect all this information and write it down. For me, certain events, like things that happen very late, like music for example, is something that is hard to follow in the city, but everything that has a timeline, the literature is really good at translating things, I collect these things, but as soon as I have an event and I send it, I upload it to the timeline. The impact on social media is for whatever, and if you're not very good at it, it will go to waste and will not reach the target audience. Unfortunately, I think that most of us are on the internet in some way or another, and we hope that we will get the message to us, but if so, we are really confused. I know that it's not the best because it's digital. I know that many of us think that it would be great if we had something to read, but I'm just trying to work with the existing media. So, yes,

1:42:27 – 1:43:29•Speaker 1

So how do we spread it? So what I will do in my email tomorrow when I send it to you, it will be a link that you can click on yourself and enter to register. And I recommend you to send it to anyone you want to simply be aware of it or to turn it into part of this activity. Amam, because he established a great organization that allows all matters to be managed quickly. As you heard, he got it today and he already went with it today. Amam, I, similar to what I mentioned about Peter, On is another example of someone who started coming to meetings and said, how can I help? And I just said, let's talk about what you want, what's in your expertise, in order to try to help. And he chose this. I didn't tell him that I want him to do this. He chose this and said, let me help with this. And this became popular, and it became a great place for people to know and understand what's going on. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you for your time. Amam, another great person who does great things in the community. Go ahead. You first.

1:43:38 – 1:44:20•Speaker 6

I can't, I can't walk out of the shop, unfortunately, without picking up a guitar. Yeah, I'm just not a perfectionist, I'm just a player. You go along the line, you go to the city, by the side, and the way to do that is on the movie, by the bus, on the street, or right, and by the community, And you can just click on a community and a block will pop up. The thing that I like to add to that is that it's not just your block. The schools, parks, all those places need people taking that trash. So if you live in a small community, expand.

1:44:29 – 1:44:55•Speaker 1

That's all. And she made this voice for Gamrei herself. And she only asked that we support her through the link on our website, which made it possible. And the city could do it. And she even appeared in the last gathering of the last community residents and brought a flag and an umbrella and said that she would give people this equipment if they only signed and were willing to do it. Amazing. With that, I think we need to return to everyone their time.
