“On first reading? Correct. Okay. And let me say this. I was going to make some comments. And I kind of glossed over it. We have an oceanfront community. People come to our community sometimes for entertainment and then find there is none here. Then they go to West Palm. They go to Delray. They come here for our beaches and they on vacation. They want to have some entertainment. Not out of the ordinary, nothing two, three, four, five o'clock in the morning, like down in Miami, nonstop. But we have gotten into this mode that it's acceptable not to have anything or have it at an unreasonable…”

“OK. All those people that you just called would probably have a part in it, are probably needed in some aspect. I think, let me say what concerns me. There's not a lead person identified to be responsible of ensuring that the other departments and organizations are doing what they're supposed to do and keeping a tracking system of what we're actually accomplishing.

Can it ever get up to we don't want to use you on the job? because you're not adhering to our requirement for first choice hiring and all these other things. I guess that's a legal question. I'm sorry, when…”

“And once they get too far down the road, it's very difficult to stop a project in the middle of it. So how can we identify the problems early on on the front end of the project and not wait until the middle and end of the project to realize that they're really not adhering to what we're requiring of them? And at that point, it will be difficult or not wise to try to pull them off the project because they're so deep into it. So how can we catch it early? That's my point.”
