First time in 30 years, so it's 239 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,279 been kind of shocking system. Okay. And 240 00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:27,680 uh, but anyway, your staff has been 241 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:29,120 great.

Um 247 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,600 this isn't something to be resolved 248 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,079 today. I just wanted to kind of bring it 249 00:10:52,079 --> 00:10:54,959 up to you to let you know that uh we've 250 00:10:54,959 --> 00:10:58,959 had three tickets, one for uh another 251 00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:01,600 neighbor and then two for us. So, it was 252 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,040 pretty shocking. We feel a little under 253 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,600 pressure and under attack right now. 254 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,519 I've talked to the police department 255 00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:12,720 about the cso. I've gotten answers, but 256 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,920 every time that I have come in to get 257 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,560 clarification of what the tickets were 258 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:22,000 for and why, what new laws, new laws 259 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,600 have come to light. So, um, we basically 260 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,800 in my in inquiry have found out that we 261 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,640 have zero parking except for maybe two 262 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,920 and a half parking spots around that 263 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,000 eyebrow island. So, it has truly 264 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,640 affected 10 families. Some of them are 265 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,720 here supporting us. Others had to work 266 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,480 late and couldn't be here. Um, but now 267 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,200 all of a sudden, if we follow every rule 268 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,680 and law and everything that's new or 269 00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:58,079 that we didn't know of, we literally 270 00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:01,279 have to park outside of that these red 271 00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:04,480 lines on that photo down the street 272 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,000 vehicles out of view of us. Uh, being a 273 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,839 nuisance to other folks that, you know, 274 00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:13,680 we care about. All our neighbors in that 275 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:15,600 area are all really friendly. We're all 276 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,920 really tight. So, um, you know, we've 277 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,600 usually I'm only down here for the 278 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,000 Christmas light show awards for my son. 279 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,240 So, you folks know us from that. We try 280 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,720 to be really involved. Um, but we are 281 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,959 looking for clarification. 282 00:12:32,959 --> 00:12:36,240 We're looking for some relief and we're 283 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,079 looking to see if that area is truly a 284 00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:42,959 culde-sac. Technically, in every 285 00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:45,760 dictionary we looked up, it's not a 286 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,480 culde-sac. We have one way in, we have a way out. It's never 287 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,120 been deemed anything. We are just Deer 288 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,920 Path Lane. Uh we're not a court, we're 289 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,880 not a circle. It's never been deemed one 290 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,440 way or the other. And um right now truly 291 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,320 we only have like two parking spots, 292 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,760 maybe three if you have a a car uh two 293 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,440 small cars and that's the other side. Um 294 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,959 and a lot of us just aren't aware.
