“Through the chair, I thought we agreed that the residents have an extra layer of representation up here with their council, so why do we need to give them a third seat? We still would like to have an employee.”

“Okay, but why can't we just mirror the police situation as two residents we select, two employees that are selected by the employees, and then the last member is selected by those four people?”

“The fifth one, right? It's at large. So why don't we just do an at large for the fifth seat picked by the four people, the two that the employees pick, the two that we pick, let them decide on their fifth member together. If they want someone super qualified who's neither of those or whatever, they get to decide. And then the residents, of course, have that. extra layer of protection since they only make recommendations and we have to vote at the end of the day on any changes that happen that we're technically like the third resident or anyway so it's okay does anyone else have any discussion…”

“The thing is, I mean, of course I love the idea of registration for more accountability, but the people who are here to do wrong are definitely not registering, first of all. And the problem is, how are you going to enforce this? I mean, I had an example just like yours the other day. A random guy comes in. He came into my backyard, and I saw him, and he came and knocked on the door. He told me, you know, I do this type of work, whatever. Maybe you're a contractor. I said, I'm good. I have a team, blah, blah, blah. He was relentless. Well, just take my number down, and if they need anybody,…”

“Well, that's what I'm saying. People who are there to do wrong, though, are not going to register. Only people who are here to do the right thing are going to register. Therefore, I feel the problem we're trying to address is people doing the wrong thing.”

“so I think it's twofold I do think that you all are speaking on the correct issues here which is one the law itself what does it say secondly how are we gonna actually enforce this so these peddler solicitation ordinances are”

“I'm definitely down to put some signage that denotes us as a bird sanctuary. As we know, the birds can't read the signs, so it's really just to inform people that they're in a bird sanctuary. I'm not really sure what the takeaway, and we discussed this a little bit at the sustainability I'm not sure what the takeaway is, other than informing people we are a bird sanctuary. My behavior, when I read that sign, I'm not going to be like, oh, I should drive extra carefully now because I'm in a bird sanctuary. I mean, what is the takeaway? And that's what I'm trying to understand.”

“Can I clarify? What does it mean? How does it affect your choices day to day? I'm down for the signs. If your point is to up our bravado about birds, I'm in.”

“If it just means that, hey, you got to be a little more careful. You're in a bird sanctuary. I don't know. It sounds like.”

“It'll be cheaper to do it all in one instead of doing five individual meetings. I don't know about that. Because it's not included.”

“great i am i'm just kind of lost on the conversation that we're at we're talking about 15 different things right now basically the only ask is do we do we want the education that's all about the two types of bonds we do want that education yes and we do want them in the same meeting because they're the same expert correct so let's set that up where we all come and we'd sit and learn and then once we know about all the specifics about the bonds we can really be really educated on what comes after, because if we don't know anything about how it works, how can we make decisions on 8 million, 10…”

“To the chair, Patrick, was this solution unilaterally come up by you alone, or was this a consultation of other engineers at Chenmore as well?”

“And Patrick, was this agreed, regardless of cost, to be the best decision for durability, best solution for durability and longevity of the new seawall, this solution that we've come up with here? Was that what was decided amongst all of those minds? Right.”

“sorry through the chair just one more thing so for obviously to build a new bridge would incur a lot more costs but my question is what is the overall difference in longevity and durability for the solution we came up with versus to build a whole new bridge patrick”

“Sorry, let me get to a more detailed question, I guess. What I guess I'm asking is, solution we've come out up with versus the solution of the complete rebuild are we talking about the solution we've come up with maybe only in the last 20 years and the bridge solution would last 50 years or i guess what i'm trying to get at is obviously you know because we're already spending a lot of money on this project we want it to last obviously as long as possible do we foresee with the solution we've come up with running into problems sooner than originally allotted for what we expect this new build…”

“So through the chair, once again, I just want to, for the record, make it clear, the agreed-upon solution based on our funding restraints, time restraints, all the restraints, we are doing the solution that is the best possible option as agreed upon by all of the people that you consulted with for what we have to work with currently, correct? We've selected the number one best option for our current restraints, correct?”

“Yeah, but through the chair, the question, the fundamental thing we're trying to get at here, which I think.”
