I'm here to address the mayor. 64 00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:25,680 About two, three months ago, there was a SWAT team of white vans in the Beaver Park 65 00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:28,230 area. They were taking soil samples. 66 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,580 That type of operation for two or three days cost the city probably 10 to 20 grand. 67 00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:34,620 One, I'd like to know how that happened. 68 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:40,320 Number two, two weeks ago, there was 15 to 20 people out in that park saying 69 00:03:40,351 --> 00:03:45,240 they're going to build condos, senior condos, 12 condos, on a contaminated site 70 00:03:46,230 --> 00:03:49,980 in a floodplain. Mr. De San, let me ask you one question, please. 71 00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:51,150 Is that a flood zone or not? 72 00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:52,080 It's not. 73 00:03:52,140 --> 00:03:56,370 Not? Okay. Here's something from the Army Corps of Engineer I'd like to read. 74 00:03:56,654 --> 00:04:01,574 This is also, I guess it's down. Between the Army Corps of Engineer and FEMA shows 75 00:04:01,590 --> 00:04:06,720 that's in flood zone B. Okay. Flood zone B requires flood zone. 76 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,570 I've been writing mortgages for 40 years, I had to ask over 27 people, 77 00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:17,970 "You got to get flood zone insurance." If you look at there, the first page of 78 00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:22,560 that, I got some more here. First page says it's in a flood zone. 79 00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:24,781 Actually, recommended for flood insurance. 80 00:04:25,290 --> 00:04:29,490 Flood zone B stopped requiring flood insurance about 15 years ago. 81 00:04:29,701 --> 00:04:34,110 Of course, I've been doing this for 40, so I got 29 people in that area. Okay. 82 00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:39,240 If you look at zone X, which is the shaded, that's on the next picture. 83 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,180 You'll see zone X. Zone X runs from the floodplain 84 00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:50,970 of Clinton to the railroad tracks, railroad tracks down to 5th Street, 85 00:04:51,810 --> 00:04:55,890 5th Street down to Hudson, and Hudson back down to 13th Street. 86 00:04:56,220 --> 00:04:59,190 That is all considered a floodplain. Okay? 87 00:04:59,610 --> 00:05:05,160 That floodplain itself means that it's a one in 500 years flood zone. 88 00:05:05,610 --> 00:05:07,650 It's required in an A zone to have it. 89 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:12,900 One in 100, you're required by national law to get flood insurance. 90 00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:17,310 A shaded zone means you're recommended to have it. Okay? 91 00:05:17,610 --> 00:05:22,154 Now, I don't know about recommended or nothing like that, but I'm telling you, in 92 00:05:22,170 --> 00:05:25,440 Texas, the kids are gone. We got to pray for them. 93 00:05:26,370 --> 00:05:30,930 New York City went under, 5th. You've seen the floods in there. 94 00:05:31,531 --> 00:05:37,320 Indiana recently, Nepal. In these communities, I'm going to start 95 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,815 this community Facebook. That way I don't have to get up here and argue with you 96 00:05:40,830 --> 00:05:43,230 guys for an hour and a half. So everyone's going to have- 97 00:05:43,244 --> 00:05:43,650 You got three minutes. 98 00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:44,760 Pardon? 99 00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:46,320 You have three minutes. 100 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,255 I know. That's why I'm ending this right now. 101 00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:52,440 I'm going to start a big Facebook page. I want everybody to hug Wyandotte. 102 00:05:52,470 --> 00:05:55,920 I want everyone to put their input in there, and we'll educate on things like 103 00:05:56,310 --> 00:06:01,260 millages, taxes, condos, things like that. 104 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,560 I know more about condos than anybody in the city of Wyandotte. 105 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,790 I know more about millages than anybody in the city of Wyandotte, except that man. 106 00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:13,994 That man I know, Mr. Gillespie and Tim McGovern. Those guys are your assessors. 107 00:06:14,010 --> 00:06:16,740 They know more about millages. So I'm going to end this now. 108 00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:20,670 We'll start a Facebook page. I want input from everybody. 109 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,845 May Democrats, Republicans, whatever- 110 00:06:22,845 --> 00:06:23,656 Your three minutes are up 111 00:06:23,656 --> 00:06:24,510 ... bring the community in. 112 00:06:24,540 --> 00:06:26,849 Is there anybody else who'd like to talk to the mayor and council? 113 00:06:27,061 --> 00:06:29,114 Well, the last thing is- 114 00:06:29,939 --> 00:06:30,390 You're done. 115 00:06:31,201 --> 00:06:32,430 I'll start a Facebook page. 116 00:06:32,820 --> 00:06:33,165 Go ahead and- 117 00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:35,370 Tell me how hazardous the chemical fire is in the groundwater 118 00:06:35,460 --> 00:06:35,475 ... go ahead when you're on the ground. 119 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:35,850 Okay. 120 00:06:36,210 --> 00:06:36,270 Yeah. 121 00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:36,990 Thanks a lot. 122 00:06:37,081 --> 00:06:37,320 Yep. 123 00:06:37,951 --> 00:06:41,100 You're wrong.
