“So I have a question. And looking at the breakdown analysis of the course on Council Member Mora, do you see any area right there as you're looking at it? Is there anything that you see? Because I know this is a student event. And at the same time, looking at the course associated with it, this is staff time. Uhm, I see the encouragement permit fee. Come pick up so the most of the cost is actually under city staff labor. Which is on the bottom for 1742. That's really the biggest cause. So is there anything councilmember that you see there that is weatherable?”

“Can I add one more thing before you answer that? Looking at the 15% administration fee, what is that? It's on the bottom.”

“WE CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS GOING TO DO, BECAUSE IF THEY'RE GOING TO PAY, THEN THEY WON'T BE HERE AT THIS POINT, RIGHT? AND THEY NEED TO MOVE ON. SO WHO APPLIES? WHO PUT THE APPLICATION IN? THAT'S THE COUNCILMAN? IT LOOKS LIKE...”

“I think we need to move forward. However, the question for me, by the way, I do appreciate your passion. I was a PTO president, so I know what it takes to raise funds to support our kids. And I'm all in for the students. My question is who applied for this and what funds do you all have available to you at this point? Because when I look at the funds, it's basically to pay for employee. The city is not making any money out of it, but we definitely would want to partnership with you. But I want to know how much money do you have available to cover the cost, and how do you plan originally to…”

“I have a comment. The color I just want to say thank you so much for sitting in with us and breaking down the process. I've always believed in transparency and you sat down you broke everything and you The same line item you presented in the special meeting is exactly the same thing that I'm looking at because public safety is important and they also need to know. So thank you so much and great presentation.”

“I think, I mean, we're not there yet. Because, I mean, looking at even the AB887, there's so much questions that we need. We need a lot of studies based on electrical and grid infrastructure. We need to know a lot more about water consumption, water usage. We need to know about generator, how the electricity is going to be generated. We need to know about public safety. We need to know about our roads and in any event whereby there's an abandonment of the project, how is the city going to recover and who is going to pay? There's a lot to discuss on this project before we even get to that…”

“Can I ask one more question? And this is just making sure we have full transparency to our city manager. Have we had anyone approach our city right now requesting an application or anything that has to do with a data center? Even made any presentations that you are aware of because I think When we are focusing on the research we need to know anything that the council need to know Do we have any discussions of such?”

“I have a question and I want to counsel to clarify this concern. If an organization received an approval of a certain project can they automatically just convert it into a data center? No. Because I want to make sure that is not feasible because I want to address our community member that have that impression that they can't just switch from building a data center a warehouse into building a data center. So you just have to be certain that that is not possible. So can I get that also from you?”

“I THINK I ALSO LIKE THE INTENSIVE APPROACH WHICH IS BECAUSE THIS IS THEIR COMMUNITY. I THINK THEIR INPUT IS REALLY valuable and important, I would really want us to have So there's an advisory committee workshop. To kick it out. And then also to have if I'm kidding. You know to with as a member of with them the council involved. And also city staff. Because one of the things I've noticed and I say these a lot is sometimes people give information without knowledge. So I think that if we make a presentation to them and with information, making sure that they clearly understand what is involved…”

“May I also add, as mentioned by the callers, sometimes to fill these committees may be difficult, but also we need to put it out there to solicit those that really want to participate. This is their opportunity to be part of solution for the city.”

“Can you hear me? All right. I do really appreciate your comment tonight. I would want to say that, yes, I am seated. The very first time we met, the right thing to do was because I was not previewed to all the documents that was involved in the proceeding. So I needed time to read it. to dissect it, to ask questions, to both the legal counsel, the investigators, everyone that is involved. It would be impartial of me to just jump in, making a determination or making a decision without reading the document. So that was the reason why The recuser or the abstain was there because it won't be…”
