“I'm supportive of it. Well, don't forget, the realtors came, not before us, but put out that they wanted to put two signs on every property, and all the cities voted against it, so it's... Not like they're... I'm just saying. And I agree. I mean, I would want to know what the cost is going to be to paint it, but I think it could be something that...”

“The only thing I caution that you want to put it at Willoughby Park, that we have safety town and a big playground and that it doesn't become where kids are going to climb on it in any way. I'm just saying, that would be the only thing... You know that I would worry about is that it's it's not a ride. It's not an enjoyment piece. It's not a slip and slide. It's not a monkey bar that people are going to climb. So is it something that we have to fence in? But then if you fence it in, people can't take a picture with it. You know, I just that would be the only concern that I would.”

“So we know we wanted to do something in this site and in the beginning when the two chiefs got together they wanted to build a building that was going to be a million plus originally so i mean to spend six hundred thousand this is what it's probably going to be roughly 600,000 150 to rip out 350 whatever and then if you have to build the cement pads for all of these things The amount is close to 600 and that's if we don't have a change order. We don't have Whatever so I mean it's a lot of money just to put and my question was We're spending $600,000 to put something in between two buildings…”

“you know, going to all these shows all over the country when we did it, and we would say the same thing. Look, these people are selling this stuff from Mexico and this stuff from here and China or whatever, and yet we're making American-made product, all handmade, all hand-brushed, whatever, and they're selling this stuff at $50, and we're asking for $100. You know, it was like, so I'm not knocking, but when we're expending money from the city, and now Commissioner Guzman brought up about you know, add or changing something. You know, do we do one man, one woman? Do we do two men, two women?…”

“No, there's no need to apologize. I mean, I have no problem supporting this. I mean, it's something that we've been looking for to do something. And obviously, we have to knock down whatever's there for safety concerns. So right there, we're already going to be into it for $150,000. I think if we're going to go forward and we have the money, and you're saying we have it now, maybe not have it after this, then I would just say hopefully, hopefully, with the support of the commission, if we support this, that we can get a slab of marble somehow onto the wall to do the names. I mean, a slab of…”

“Could we approve the amount of money and then figure – I mean – I'm just saying, if somebody wanted to change the stat, I mean, obviously, you know, if we wanted to change something, could we put in the $325,000 amount, but not know specifically what it is of the statues we want?”

“Okay. So then I support it. We'll just have to change. If it has to be one male, one female, who cares? The only decision you have to make is who's going to be the male fireman or the female officer. No, it's not going to look like you, McNamara. We have to have a guy with a mustache if you want it to make it look like a fireman.”

“I just have a question for the speed cameras. So how many do you have this noted somewhere? If a cop... is in that zone and gives a ticket, handwritten, and then the camera catches the same vehicle. Do we have a lot of duplication? Because it could happen. So I'm saying.”

“violations we would take care so here I just saying this is now for normally we would have our traffic unit where the school zones were normally so now this helps us not to have the police officer in the school zone because it's pretty much we have an automation of the speed ticket and now they could go on other Sides of the city or different space. Yeah, exactly. My neighborhood. Yeah. So I'm saying, has that helped us?”
