“City attorney. Yes. I went through that document that we got emailed. So in one of the instances is that for the sale of a firearm, they had to register it with the police before that firearm was sold. Now that means they don't have to do that anymore? That's correct. That's regulated by the state. And there's no, all weapons are available to be sold. Yeah, this is- Even in a market.”

“So I agree with as far as us maintaining it. The one thing I would say is if the owner, are we penalizing the owner if they decide that they want to go ahead and trim the tree and cut it? Or are we going to allow the homeowner to take the initiative and do it on their own as well? So it could be us or it could be them. That's one question. The other one was when we had the Manor Lane issue, one of the things that came about that was that a tree was initially, it's like a gray area, and a tree was planted in the right-of-way but then grew so much that entered into the property or whatever,…”

“Well, let's say, okay, I'll take that. But in the scenario where we do plant it in the right-of-way and the tree grows, like they're all going to grow, and it ends up impeding into a private property, then now we've got to just figure out how to handle that gray area. Is it their problem or is it our problem? When it was initially on the right-of-way but then overgrew into the private property now, we've got to figure out whose responsibility is it.”

“Yes sir, you're recognized. I had discussed with the manager. So on the west, on the east side, it's all going to be picketed fence covering the entire west side of the forest. On the east side, I know that by the We're going to have the small two board fence in the front. My only concern was where on the west side fence gets to the Girl Scout house. I know there's requests to block it all out. My concern is that I think if we want to block it out where the house is located, I'm okay with that. I just think that we need to have the ends or some portion of it open to give that open feeling…”

“OK, so I just want to be clear. So I understand the thing about girls. I have a daughter. I actually live next to this park. But the reason that I made the suggestion of making a fence that's open and see-through to also address the concerns of Commissioner Bonnich is because The purple line, and I know you guys probably can't see, the purple line is going to be the solid fence. Correct. Correct. But the pool is towards the back of the Girl Scouts, and then behind the Girl Scouts, that's a picket open fence. So you can literally see through. So what we're trying to prevent from the west side,…”

“Yeah. If you look through here, you're going to see the pool right here on this side where from this side, I don't know. I'm just saying if we're going to be consistent, we should be consistent. Again, I want the safety of the girls. I'm just saying if we're going to block that off, then where the pool is in the back, you might consider blocking that off as well.”

“Again, like Commissioner Kaya said, thank you for everything you guys do. I'm sure it's not easy. I just wanted to mention one thing. I tend to agree with the board's advice on the underlying. I actually made the, when the CEO was here, I asked him, what if we did our own maintenance? Because my main question was, if they do a graffiti, let's say on one of the columns, how long are we going to be waiting to get that cleaned up? But they weren't very, so what I'm advising to you is their response was basically not very open to that. But it would save us a lot of money.”

“So I just want to get this correct, and just to reiterate. So Insoftel doesn't have any of its own functioning facilities like this one right now, but there are other ones that are existing that have the technology. So it's basically what you would do is use that technology and create your own facility in Insoftel, which would be here.”
