Speaker 0: Any public comment on the item?
Speaker 3: Themes lyric do clear as my address my senses last week for the factory senses were triggered off and it's something I think is another one of these. First of all in. Bruises and what catch what brought it to my attention is last week. Class 31 going past the electrical pad in Marina Vista Park. I spent about 20 minutes talking to the contractors there after I saw the size of it. And my first reaction was that the city was somebody was trying to establish a sister sister a sister city relationship with Schenectady. The power source in there is far, far greater than that is needed in that location. And you need to understand this is a tolling issue. The Planning Commission three years ago were very diligent. Actually, four years ago, very diligent, put their feet on the ground, looked and realized that an electrical pad that was there needed to be relocated. Period. It was ugly. And Mr. Sandoval came back and said, well, they can't move it because, see, it would cost them a fortune. So he was complaining they had to pay the pensions of the retired executives and fines from out of the State Utilities Commission. I think what you'll find and I haven't seen the fat data yet. But what this is. This otherwise good project to clean up the water is getting it. What they did is upgrade that facility in Marina Vista Park, which is we need the park space. There are plans that could have been put forward to relocate that to an area where it wouldn't be or it wouldn't where it would free up that park space. What we have here is the same Black Ops Tidelands group that took down three s public without the knowledge of public works and without the knowledge of the planning department. I. Fire. I think this should be held over till we determined where the power source. It is inherent in this project that you're approving where the power source is located. To run that facility. And if is in fact, in the in the one that is in Marina Vista Park, which is the one that was specifically targeted by the planning commission, that they should haul blood out of there. At the very most and at the least clean it up. And they have cleaned it up a little bit. But what we have is a midnight work and I think a nefarious work going on there because the size of that is powering something other than the few little.
Speaker 0: Thank you projects. All right. Moving on to the next next item, actually, we're going to take a vote on this item. Members, please cast your votes.
