“Because we need to get, I think what we need to do is establish a real deadline. For every single building, we're having a problem.”

“I agree in that sense. I think it should be a real deadline. We're going to talk to 360. Here's a deadline of a decision. And they also know that we have to reach a decision because I do think that we're also opening ourselves for liability for developers to sue us because we're making it a mandatory thing for them to do, but yet not for the others.”

“I'm not suggesting that you do that. I'm just telling you that you're asking people to spend millions of dollars on an island walk. And yet we are not even here. Just us. We're not even having an agreement. And when do we manage to either make it happen or not make it happen?”

“That's what she's saying, that it's the same. We're all back to the same. Oh, right, right, right. I personally think it should be a direct conversation. Yeah, let's start with that. We all have a direct conversation and impose real deadlines. We all here, we've heard them say their reason. Nobody here is a secret what they feel or they don't feel like. They talk like security rules. They don't want to take away their privacy. I think the privacy angle, it's honestly null because to me, that's an agreement that was presented.”

“For us to be able to move on, we have to come up with something here. And I truly believe that you need to meet with the residents from 360. Tell them if we don't have an answer by the next meeting. And this is what we want. Not only opening the island walk, but what do you want? Put it in writing. You have a deadline to put it right. If the answer of them is to say, you know what? I don't care if you offer me the sky. The answer is no. Then we can come here and have a real decision. We've made the decision. I haven't.”

“I want them to put in writing what they want. I want them to put in writing what they want. For what I've heard from the neighbors. They're divided at 360. They're having a lot of other issues. It's not just the island walk that they're divided by. It's really hard to put all these people together and make a decision, but we need to push it.”

“I rather than things keep moving. I don't want to be the reason why it's delayed. I thought we could adjust to the June 25th and move that around the budget.”

“They should have all of them. The master, the doc one, they have like five.”

“would make sense but the master is the one that has the requirement that then extends to everyone i know they got building b and so i think you should if you really want to get an answer you should get an answer from all of them if you if you really want to get to somewhere here because we're going to be back to but why do you know i didn't hear i wasn't part of it the neighbors need to be given the chance I mean, what's the worst? They don't show up. They say they don't want to.”

“And that was the question I had all along through the planning and zoning. And I was very much against all of that exactly for that reason. And that's why I was kind of kicked out of planning and zoning for voicing exactly those questions. And those values went up for the people who flipped the properties or increased their value of the property overnight because of the code changes.”

“Are you pro-changing it so that they can change RM40 regulations, or you're against it so that RM40 doesn't get used?”

“I'm very pleased for the option with the parking. I'm a little concerned about people moving now into our streets to park there. But nevertheless, I mentioned before how my number one concern, obviously, is the pedestrian access to the park. So I have a couple of options here, if you don't mind passing those along. Thank you, my lord. It's not a perfect drawing here, but I think it gives an idea of what I mentioned, which is I went up to the area, measured, looked at what it is there now. Removing those four parking spaces will be, of course, ideal. The first option, the first... I'm so…”

“My hope was going to be to not make it too much farther away. If we can just, within the next two weeks, which will be the next, when is the July meeting? Because it's almost at the end of the month, isn't it? So we... July 28th. I don't want to cause a delay on things either.”

“Yeah, but the point is she wants to be here too. So if you leave the 24th, you say you're leaving the 24th. Yeah, I'm not. I mean, I could do a Zoom if you want to be in person on the 24th. Or even the 23rd, switch those, you know. Because I mean, you're the mayor.”
