“I think maybe our direction, I mean we'll hear what George has to say, but I think our direction has to be just like a waterfront lot is treated independently, that a corner lot has to be treated independently as well. Which is what we said in the last. Yes, that's what we said last.”

“Look, it's a sustainability. It doesn't really matter if we like it or not. The plastic fisherman does a really, he's got a significant cause that is, you know, plastic items come to our homes and our beaches. It's not because surfsidians are throwing it in the water. It just comes to us. But I think it's a good use of a, repurposed item, but I certainly would have liked to have seen pictures of where they're placed already. That's all.”

“I just think it sounds like the commission wants this. It's a recycled item by one of our own community residents. So it's a very interesting and it's a repurposed item. So I mean.”

“So it's essentially a piece of art with a recycled material. I mean, for that reason alone, I am, okay.”

“They're terrible. There shouldn't be benches on the hard path. It's for walking, not sitting. And you want to put these plastic benches not on the path, but off the path. Am I understanding this correctly or am I wrong?”

“Okay, so if you're able to negotiate the contract and get a credit and to inquire about other potential products that they might have that would be usable for Surfside and placed at different locations other than the hard path, that would be the recommendation that I would like to see.”
