“I don't know if this is the time to say it or not, but I would like to see the agenda that Aaron proposed that we leave it as it is, L2 and what was the other one? M. He combined L2 and M1. Yeah, I would like to see them remain separate.”

“Okay. I have lots of comments and questions. The first thing that comes to mind is, first of all, I would like to hear from the public, hear from residents about what they want. We see the six options. I can give you my opinion and my option, but is that what our constituents want? So I'd like to hear from the public. I'd also like to hear options about what we can do about the sewer extension. If this money were not here from Rosenwald, how would you address that problem? Perhaps we could go to the developer or find other ways to do it as has been done when other homes were built. So that…”

“When the promise was made to provide the sewer extension, where were you all thinking the funding was coming from at that time? Because this funding was not brought up.”

“And it's not that you all know how I feel about housing. I feel very strongly about it. I don't disagree. But I feel like this project was already discussed and decided upon to build a housing project and provide sewer before the Rosenblum money came up. And so I'm trying to understand why we're trying to put it in there. In other words, look at other options.”

“And then the other issue with the million dollars that's been mentioned a couple times, I think that we need to do something to provide trust in the community. I've been told that historically there was money that was given to the Rosenwald community, a grant, correct me if I'm wrong, but they didn't see what was promised. And anybody can correct me if I'm wrong. So I think that we need to build up the trust in the community that if this million dollars comes, who is it going to serve and in what way? rather than just getting a little trash can or something. So y'all know I'm transparent, and…”

“Okay, I understand that, but I'm going back before three weeks ago, even to last year, when we talked about building the housing in on cashiers. We weren't talking about Rosenwald money at that time.”

“Okay, I'll take his time. That wasn't the implication. I don't have many, but I do want to say thank you, Chief. Thank you. I know that took a lot because when a leader makes a decision to do something, and we have to go back on it. It's not without clear thought, the process of letting go, but also the process of realizing what the people want. And you did both. Thank you. To the the $2.5 million to Lawrence Point, the $25,000 in Rosenwald, I hate to keep beating this horse, is only, it's about 1% of that 2.5. Am I right? I'm not a good mathematician. But it's not that much money for money…”
