“discussion I would just welcome the developer to come and discuss the concerns that were brought up by some of the residents and explain explain exactly what we're going through here and maybe”
“Is there anything else that you can cover up there on the different conditions?”
“Yeah, I just found it kind of awkward when I heard people will be held captive when they're listening to prayer. It didn't make sense to me. I mean, we've got, I'm just wondering, are people held captive when they're sitting here or standing talking about the, or doing the Pledge of Allegiance? Is that being held captive as well? I mean this country was founded, all of our documents, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, all of that is, has some form of God in Christian, and has God on those documents, a creator. So to me, This is a very important thing and I appreciate what some…”
“a Satan worshiper praying to Satan. The Oregon Constitution specifically mentions praying to the Almighty God. So that's covered in this resolution. The Oregon Constitution is referenced in it. So I think there was a couple of things that were brought up, statements. So that is covered. Thank you, God bless.”
“Yes, assuming this goes back just like is recommended, How much extra is that going to cost on estimate to the private citizen, to the developer?”

I think that's important to understand. And that was not provided. It just wasn't even mentioned. Nothing was mentioned. He is a very capable businessman here in Grants Pass. I just don't understand what the resistance is because he seems…”
“I can't really say that it wasn't a predictable thing that we would get to where we are at, especially with the drug usage. Again, like I've always said, the Oregon laws make it so that it's a low barrier shelter. But like I was saying before, I knew this was gonna be a drug issue because the majority of the homelessness that's out there, they have some kind of mental health or drug issue going. And so, We had temporary resting sites that we moved down to Parker's Place. And I recommended that we go with another candidate. But that's a different story. So we went with another candidate. We…”
