Thank you. And I just want to quickly speak to that and then we'll go to other council members for new or old items. In my opinion, just by my years on city council, because we've set up speed zones and traps and you know and things like that to deter the high speed driving throughout the city is really an enforcement matter in my opinion because you can set the speed limit to 25 you can set it to 10 you can set it to 15. reckless drivers are going to be reckless regardless Even in our school zones, because we have school zone speed limits that are 15 and they still do it. I think it's more…
Thank you, Councilman McLemore. Councilmember Monteverde.
I WANT TO AGREE WITH THAT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH THE DEVELOPERS I DEFINITELY SAW COUNCIL MEMBER STEWART'S VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA SOMEONE SENT IT TO ME AND I DEFINITELY SAW SOME OF THE COMMENTS IN THE POSTING FROM COUNCILMAN ZURIYA AND ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WITH RESPECT AND I THINK THAT WITH DUE DILIGENCE AND WITH coordination and with our city manager and our city attorneys. The community benefits will always be a priority, especially when we're given pilots tax pilots to developers and I just want to remind everyone for the record that when we do…
absolutely um so i definitely oh council i definitely support council member monteverde's request to get this on the next agenda uh council member stewart you have something you want to ask okay so this speaks to the ami conversation um and what what i mentioned about
also want to say to council member stewart's point uh and also uh all of the different council members whatever that i whatever those idea i think was councilman zuria that mentioned it uh online whatever those terms and conditions were for the idea they definitely have to be in the in the pilot agreement. At a minimum at a minimum if not if not other and so those things we have discussed with legal so hopefully and the updated iteration of that they will be in there. Councilman Macklemore.
um all right i want to quickly move to um penrose am i am i saying that correctly uh born in kenny um i know someone had mentioned earlier um that i don't think the person is here anymore about the winners coming around the corner And I know we were right. We got to get updates in that next work session because we're coming to a quick ending of September, October, November, December. October can be cold or warm. Right. Last couple of years, it's been really cold and we don't want to. WE DON'T WANT TO RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUES WITH HOT WATER AND HEAT FOR THE KENNY APARTMENTS. NOW MY…
thank you for that update because the timeline in terms because we know if Penrose doesn't make the full acquisition of the two properties then they're not going to start the redevelopment and if they don't start the redevelopment we're going to run into these cold months winter months and that heat and hot water may possibly I'm only saying possibly because I know there was some work done On the on the plumbing. Right.
