Good evening. I would like to welcome you all to the conference of quantification and quantification of cancer. This Monday, 17th of August 2016. Is everything ready?

0:09Speaker 1

In this point of the meeting you will need the approval of the agenda.

0:29 – 1:15Speaker 2

Inciso C, vamos a solicitar la aprobación de las actas de la reunión del 20 de julio de 2026. We will have a motion to approve the acts on behalf of... Second. The second motion on behalf of... All those in favor of... The acts are being approved. The acts are being approved. That is the part of public participation of the committee.

1:15Speaker 1

At this point of the meeting, the word is open to any committee member on the agenda, not to see anyone. I will move on to the new matters.

1:25 – 2:35Speaker 2

Today's issue is a new one. Tonight we have a point. A public hearing on a petition from Sound Company for the approval of an identification change and a support plan, after the annexation of an electrical transmission and its accessories to 160 properties located in the northeastern region of Quezon, in Puerto Rico. Thank you for being here. I thought that since we had exported a lot to make sure that everyone was aware of this possible audience of the change of sound at night and knowing how life is sometimes people take note of that. and then I don't read So I thought that people could come and they deserve some kind of education. I will give you very briefly because surely you think that we are going to have an interview.

2:35Speaker 1

It will be that brief.

2:37 – 5:56Speaker 2

So, as Bordelison has been talking about for a couple of days, publicly announcing the document, some of you may have attended the meetings of Puerto Salinas. You were in that room. You were in the building. You were in the building in that room. In any case, to talk about the update of their facilities, of their station, Caldwell was able to distribute better to the entire county. At that time, Meta was known and was under development, but there was no Edge or a second data center, and at that point Hans just started. And also, really, for the next 5 to 10 years. So right now they have a main line that comes from the Watermark area. It's a 138-kilowatt line. It comes from the Creole area, just south of Meta. There are actually two lines, two right-of-way lines. Well, do you want to update that from 138 to 345? This is something that they can't simply do on their own. They have to go through the trade commission and present a case there. And the ICC takes six months to a year to make those decisions. They have to balance what they have. They presented the petition at the end of the year. or at the beginning of the fall, about a year ago. And that a decision had to be made at the end of December. Man, they saw the alerts for another indefinite period between three to six months, because they needed more testimonies. But there were farms along the way, farms with five acres that were affected. Well, when we finally found out where they would be, because now that we are owners of this property, we are ready to start and we believe that we will receive the certification of the ICC at any time. So we told them that we could probably do it, at least 30 days, as they said. And well, it could be 60 days.

5:57Speaker 1

It depends on how they fall on Mondays and how they are formed.

6:02 – 7:03Speaker 2

But we did it, thanks to people at a record speed. and on the 31st of July we published the notice, as required by the state law, and then, from the last to the King of Cuba. It's mixed up now. Last Wednesday everything was ready. They are ready to start. And on Friday we were doing a state review with them and I thought they were going to talk about something else, but it just happened. The conversation turned on suddenly and they said, we withdraw our request. We are trying to argue against that because the state authorities are entering as a sub-station of transmission for a single person.

7:05Speaker 1

What is that?

7:06 – 8:05Speaker 2

Well, obviously, it is incongruent with a social norm, but that is what they have done throughout the state and in other places. Although the city has been re-signified to smaller areas. I think the largest one apart from this is 12 acres. So they have been re-signified to a smaller area. We also said that it is like wearing a belt and looking at... ...that your certificate is not valid and in that way you can start your projects. But they didn't come to the table. So we have to do our best. Thank you very much. Well, and we are going to meet at 6 p.m. anyway, but as I said before, I know that some of you are watching us.

8:05Speaker 1

So, here we are.

8:06 – 8:37Speaker 2

I don't need to reason with you, sir. I just want to say that we take a step forward with this public participation in case someone is here and wants to say that they are indignant. The main event now will be the Municipal Commission. So the municipal council has something to say about it?

8:37 – 8:53Speaker 2

Because the final act of annexation and an annexation agreement that normally establishes what are the rules of the game, if you are going to annex the city of Mara for prison and other things, if you are going to annex. But the reasoning?

8:56Speaker 1

I think most of them were Bob Thomas.

9:01Speaker 2

Well, he was not a bad judge. Anyway, he wrote the opinion.

9:06Speaker 1

And this week, an opinion from Warren. A little before us, obviously.

9:24Speaker 2

There is an appellation. Never be appealed. Before the appeal tribunal. It will not reach the Supreme Court, but...

9:30Speaker 1

There is an appellation.

9:33Speaker 2

You are welcome next week, if you want. So, what will they use it for?

9:42Speaker 1

Because a sub-station will occupy the sub-station.

9:47 – 9:58Speaker 2

Well, that's when I saw the image and the... It's... This is not a very good idea on the scale of 200, 600, 500, 600. It's a lot of land.

9:58Speaker 1

And it seems that, you know, close to the...

10:10 – 11:24Speaker 2

It is for pipes, cables and transformers. There is an idea that they call it manoeuvre path. So when they arrive with things, they don't just want to bring them closer to each other. That's why at some point their personnel is taken over. The first third part of that property, that is the air, will be a huge retention tank. It has been agricultural land for a long time. There is a lot of field drainage there and it is a main collection point on the north side. The Kessleyer, for the water on that side, takes it down Kessleyer, between the two buildings that belong to the Huerta family and to the stream, to the stream and finally to the river. So obviously, we have been very happy. And so, when they clean the ground, that upper layer of earth will be used to create a protection layer on the front. It doesn't seem like there's a point in the width, but it should be. The force must be close to the wall.

11:36 – 12:42Speaker 2

Gracias a todos por venir. Eso concluye esta reunión, ya que ese fue su único asunto. Así que ahora pasamos al próximo. Solo, brevemente, la próxima reunión es el 6 de marzo. Es martes. Tenemos un correo la semana pasada. 232 West Lincoln Highway, Norte de New York. Solamente. So part of the special use for that is the audience support. And it has to be 100% confidential. Where is this place? 232 West Lincoln, south of West Lincoln, just east of the river. It used to be more of a rehab for years. Thank you very much. It used to be more of a rehab for years.

12:42Speaker 1
