“I have a question. Could you please, because I remember at the time that we went through a few years back with this issue, that the cost at that time of the land was $10 million. And now we're buying it for $20 million, if it's not my understanding, no?”

“Thank you for answering. I am all to resolve the issue. Just for the record, I wasn't at the time that this was brought up. I was absent at the time. Okay. All right. No worries. So I'm unanimous with the ones that were that day, I guess. So I just wanted, you know, for us to keep finishing, you know, with all the different litigations that we have, but to look always, you know, keep fighting on having something that is positive, a positive impact to our city.”

“If I may, now that you are our new city manager, my recommendation will be if maybe you can look into it now that you are on board. and see if there's any other alternative that maybe it can be presented again to the council to see all the alternatives and see if maybe we'll be able to bring the cost, minimize the cost for this because now might be a better materials or another design that maybe... will enhance the limits of our city. Because the ones that are now I do understand that they're very small. I mean, they're hardly visible for who comes and visit our city. I think that is needed.…”

“Through the chair? Yes. Well, based on the information, like I said before, that you have, and I remember also, I mean, I've been here for seven years, that this is also something that is going back and forth. And the information that Public Works have provided and that they have worked for, I have a motion to approve the project to keep moving forward.”

“Thank you so again with this item on I with all due respect to councilwoman reno so I understand that your comments has been based on saving money. I mean risk physical response responsible, but if we. bring just what have been approved in the last month when it comes to some positions that for me really we are not in need of those positions that are way more than 2837 29 base on the information the memo that i i have here i don't think that this fight it is really needed among uh vice mayor um Excuse me, both us here.

I also would like to recognize the incredible contribution of women in our community. And to our Venezuelan community, your presence here today shows strength and unity. We stand with you, especially during this challenging time with the TPA's challenges. I apologize that I'm not feeling well today.

“On page 22, the 273 on the 10, the number 10, about the permission. I mean, I understand if you might not have quorum and the person had to stand up because either they have to pick up a phone call or they have to go to the bathroom. and resulted in a not excuse. So what, you're going to request a vote at that moment that the person needs to stand up and have to go to the bathroom or something? It's like today, I feel really bad. I send you an email so I can be excused for the rest of the afternoon. I didn't receive an answer or anything and I'm still here. So... I don't think that this is…”

“Exactly. And they know exactly how I work and my dedication to the city. In seven years that I've been here, you can count. Three times that I haven't been able to be here. That's it in seven years. But if we go and count by yours, for example, the years that you were a councilwoman. I mean, it's a huge list and I can share that. But, you know, the thing is that I don't think that this is fair that you have to. have a non-excused absence for someone even though you will have quorum. I really think that this has to be revised and taken into consideration. If it is something that will limit to…”
