    “And I've seen you in action with the dots out there. So good job for that. But so shouldn't parks be doing some outreach more than engineering? Or how does that?”

    “Sorry, I have another concern. You spoke about the noise from pickleball, so... Pickleball is unusual because the paddleboard and the ball impact is short and a repetitive pop. So I do know and I've researched that there are a lot of cities in the state of California and even throughout the US that have sued over that repetitive motion and the noise, even with a 10-foot fence. So are there any safeguards that we can implement or, like,”

    “I just want to make a few points. Fernando, you mentioned there was outreach and everyone's mentioned outreach, but when you guys brought back the surveys, pickleball and tennis ball courts were all the way down to like number 14 and number 22. So that's just my issue that you guys say that you guys take council direction and community direction, but obviously you guys didn't at this point from what I've seen from the surveys that you guys did. A COUPLE MAYBE YEARS AGO. YOU DO SAY THAT YOU BROUGHT THIS TO THE PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION. THAT'S ONLY LIKE FOUR TO FIVE PEOPLE ON A GOOD DAY.…”

    “Do you say that we could come back to this?”

    “I'm open to a radius. I think I am open to a radius. I stand by what I said. I think I am open to a radius, and I think those were my words. And for the record, I have a lot of friends. So that's ludicrous to say that I wanted my friend on there. So with that said, I think I'm open to a radius just because the data center can come next door to Grayson or Wesley or Newman. So I'm open to a radius if we're talking about this in a smart manner.”

    “Just to clarify, I believe that even if any of us submit it to the grand jury, they can or cannot pick up on it, correct? So it doesn't constitute, like, it doesn't automatically get investigated. It's reviewed. It's up to them to take it or not. That's correct. I think because it has been brought up multiple times, it's like beating a dead horse. I feel like it constitutes to to it being investigated since we had a couple witnesses say that council members insert themselves.”

    “Yes, I have a comment. I wanted to give some time for everyone to speak, but to our union members, thank you for showing up. To everyone that has spoken up tonight, thank you for showing up. Speaking publicly takes a lot of courage. Advocating for fair treatment, respect and accountability. Your voices matter. Your experiences matter. and your courage did not go unnoticed. Some have tried to dismiss serious concerns by calling them a witch hunt, going as far as saying that I, myself, am running against Mayor Clausel because it's a witch hunt, which it's not. I decided to run a month ago, and…”
