“Can I make another recommendation? Our job is to do legislative changes. So what I would recommend is let's go look at the duties that are currently in our legislative for the Green Task Force and go modify that so we can add those specific things of duties, and then we can reconvene and start implementing that. Well, they're done. Yeah, they're done. Pretty much completed all of them. No, that's what I'm saying. So anything that's new that's coming, that we add it to the list. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%. Okay, perfect.”

“No, and by the way, I'm a big fan of piloting everything, whether we, you know, fail or succeed. We don't know until we know. So I'm totally for this, by the way, 100%. There is a lot of energy savings, I mean, waste savings that we can actually go through if we continue the process and learn, and if we can do it ourselves. I mean, if we spend a half a million dollars to go get a box that we can go in three years, I mean, shit, 18 months, sorry, 18 months, we can recuperate that money. That's a no-brainer, but I'm with you.”

“The linear feet from schools and parks, something I have a concern with at 400 linear feet, because it's really close to a school and to a park.

So anything facing 68th Street on that corner is something that I don't want to be as visible. I mean, we have kids going through the schools. And the timing here is at 5…”

“That resolves my specific issue with a specific lot. But going back to, I'm just thinking here about the 5% here that's got me really thinking about this. So we have the opportunity to do on, just hear me out, guys. I just want to see what you guys think about this. On Sunset Drive, if we open it up to there, it gets past 5% easily. What would be the issues with that?”
