“Noon. Okay. We'll get it. Okay, so then that means that on July 18th, which is Saturday, we've got the Waterland Parade with its new route, reverse route, and much shorter, and it will be – At the conclusion of the parade, they will then start with the block party, which is in the block in front of the theater. And that's a new event this year. So that should be, this is going to be very interesting, how we're changing things up and with the intent of making everything better. So we'll see how that goes.

“So Wheels and Keels will be on July 19th in the North Marina parking lot. And so that's going on. But also then the Historical Society is having the Harbor Cruise, which is they've leased, rented, whatever they've got the... one of the Argosy tour ships coming down, and there's going to be, I think it's a two-hour cruise around.”

“Yes, thank you for the presentation, Jeff. So in anticipation of the West Business Park coming online, I take it that we're in a position where we're not going to see the same confusion that's happened in the past.”

“Just for clarification, the cameras, the speed limit would adjust at the Woodmont site depending upon the hours. So anyway, so all we're doing is really enforcing the speed limit, using the camera there to enforce the speed limit.”

“Yes, thank you. So as far as implementation, can we implement these as it's available to come online, or will we be doing it on a one-time basis? We're just suddenly going to turn all the cameras on at once? Or for example, if we're having delays in having to deal with Puget Power, Puget Sound Energy, to site have the power to a location, as opposed to, say, Woodmont. I assume that it's just a matter with Woodmont of coming up with the proper software that would allow it to happen. So these could be staggered. It's not going to be a single implementation date.”

“Yes, thank you. And I would just remind everybody that, you know, as we saw earlier with the red light cameras, I mean, we looked at it as, okay, there's decline in revenue and stuff. That's a success. We're actually changing people's habits and we're actually educating the public that, hey, you need to go to speed limit. So I think all of this is indicative of trying to change behavior to make our roads safer. And I think it's commendable. Thank you.”

“YES. I'D JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE PARK ZONE CAMERAS IN RODONDO HAVE RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT LOWERING OF THE SPEED. THE PROBLEM IN RODONDO There is still the speed element. That's not going to go away. We have people that are actually, the scofflaws are there, and they know exactly where the cameras are, and they will play their games on trying to not get caught on the thing. But there has been a definite effect on the amount of speeding down there. Noise is another problem. We're working to address that separately. I think it does go a long way towards educating people that we don't…”

“So not to be redundant, because all of these things went on and everything, but I will expand on we do not have a meeting until July 9. And so July 4 is going to be the big celebration at the marina. It's star-striped sunshine. And I believe it's 10 to 4. And so a lot of festivities going on down there. in conjunction with what's going on at the farmer's market. And it should be a hoot. But I understand that there are four members of the dais that if anybody doesn't care for what we do up here or anything, that we will be in the dunk tank. But I do want to point out that we're and I'm not…”
