So I 318 00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:06,198 don't believe there were really 319 00:11:02,194 --> 00:11:09,035 any surprises in there.

We 349 00:12:22,975 --> 00:12:29,515 ntract it out because there's 350 00:12:25,878 --> 00:12:30,816 just too many for us to do. And 351 00:12:27,646 --> 00:12:33,285 some of the cul de sacs are, 352 00:12:29,615 --> 00:12:35,087 are small enough that our big 353 00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:36,188 plows can't turn around in them. 354 00:12:33,385 --> 00:12:37,656 So we went out to bids, and 355 00:12:35,187 --> 00:12:39,358 we're looking to go with two 356 00:12:36,288 --> 00:12:43,696 different contractors, 357 00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:47,366 depending on which zone of the 358 00:12:39,458 --> 00:12:49,935 city, the cost for the upcoming 359 00:12:43,796 --> 00:12:51,904 winter would be about $137,000, 360 00:12:47,466 --> 00:12:53,139 and that covers nine plowing 361 00:12:50,035 --> 00:12:55,040 events. And then if we have a 362 00:12:52,004 --> 00:12:57,009 lot of snow where we have to 363 00:12:53,239 --> 00:12:59,245 plow the cul de sacs more than 364 00:12:55,141 --> 00:13:01,380 nine times, there's a per event 365 00:12:57,109 --> 00:13:03,549 or per plow cost for that. And 366 00:12:59,345 --> 00:13:06,085 this would be a three year 367 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:08,721 contract. So given that it's a 368 00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:10,689 three year contract, we're only 369 00:13:06,185 --> 00:13:15,027 locked into the amount for the 370 00:13:08,821 --> 00:13:18,697 first year, the 137, it'll 371 00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:20,766 change. It goes up by. I 372 00:13:15,127 --> 00:13:22,601 thought it said three. Okay. It 373 00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:27,239 was Yeah. It's well it's a 374 00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:30,543 3% increase from last year. 375 00:13:22,701 --> 00:13:32,344 Okay. Okay. Good. Any questions 376 00:13:27,339 --> 00:13:33,813 for Johnr Aaron? And this is 377 00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:35,948 this contract is for the next 378 00:13:32,444 --> 00:13:38,117 three years. So it's not going 379 00:13:33,913 --> 00:13:40,286 to go up in the next three 380 00:13:36,048 --> 00:13:42,154 winters. Is it going to go up 381 00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:51,030 3% every winter? It was 3% 382 00:13:40,386 --> 00:13:53,566 increase from last year. Is it 383 00:13:42,254 --> 00:13:56,101 going up a little bit? But is. 384 00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:59,605 Yeah, you'll see like with 385 00:13:53,666 --> 00:14:02,541 Jack's lawn service for zone 386 00:13:56,202 --> 00:14:04,777 one, it's 34,500. And the next 387 00:13:59,705 --> 00:14:08,414 year it's 35,500. So it's going 388 00:14:03,275 --> 00:14:11,584 up $1,000 for that one zone. It 389 00:14:04,877 --> 00:14:13,219 will increase. That's 3%. Is 390 00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:14,987 there any loophole in there? 391 00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:17,356 Not a loophole, but that where 392 00:14:13,319 --> 00:14:19,892 they can tack on a fuel 393 00:14:15,087 --> 00:14:21,327 surcharge of things progressed 394 00:14:17,456 --> 00:14:23,262 like they happen? No there's 395 00:14:19,992 --> 00:14:24,396 nothing. So this is locked in 396 00:14:21,427 --> 00:14:26,232 no matter what the cost of fuel 397 00:14:23,362 --> 00:14:28,234 is. Okay. Yeah, you probably 398 00:14:24,496 --> 00:14:29,435 should come up there so the mic 399 00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:31,403 can pick you up for the TV. No, 400 00:14:28,334 --> 00:14:32,771 there's no no fuel loophole in 401 00:14:29,535 --> 00:14:33,906 this. It's structured with the 402 00:14:31,503 --> 00:14:35,608 nine called the nine push 403 00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:36,909 minimum. Because, you know, 404 00:14:34,006 --> 00:14:38,677 when we look at our winters, we 405 00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:40,646 plow cul de sacs.

And so they do have a 582 00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:54,753 website that contains a lot of 583 00:20:50,549 --> 00:20:57,356 informion on a regional 584 00:20:53,418 --> 00:21:00,525 effort within the county, not 585 00:20:54,853 --> 00:21:01,927 just Wyoming, to manage the 586 00:20:57,456 --> 00:21:07,032 deer population.

Allow hunting 594 00:21:24,616 --> 00:21:30,722 in the city, we would have to 595 00:21:26,885 --> 00:21:32,190 amend our current ordinance to 596 00:21:28,754 --> 00:21:33,358 allow to allow that.

And if we get to 600 00:21:36,561 --> 00:21:41,600 whether it's any of the 601 00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:44,236 individual communities, whether 602 00:21:39,564 --> 00:21:45,904 it's Wyoming or Grand Rapids or 603 00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:46,738 Sparta or Kentwood, would have 604 00:21:44,336 --> 00:21:48,373 to look at their individual 605 00:21:46,004 --> 00:21:51,276 ordinances as to whether they 606 00:21:46,838 --> 00:21:53,345 would want to amend those to 607 00:21:48,473 --> 00:21:55,247 allow hunting within the city 608 00:21:51,376 --> 00:21:56,415 and, and discuss the pros and 609 00:21:53,445 --> 00:21:59,284 cons of that. Granville Walker 610 00:21:55,347 --> 00:22:00,686 we've all been talking about it 611 00:21:56,515 --> 00:22:02,521 for two years. So it's it's 612 00:21:59,384 --> 00:22:04,022 being addressed. And I know 613 00:22:00,786 --> 00:22:05,324 progress seems a little slow to 614 00:22:02,621 --> 00:22:06,558 residents sometimes and think 615 00:22:04,122 --> 00:22:08,927 it'd be a quicker decision, but 616 00:22:05,424 --> 00:22:10,729 we're dealing with some pretty 617 00:22:06,658 --> 00:22:12,230 big issues there and things of 618 00:22:09,027 --> 00:22:14,766 that nature. So anybody else 619 00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:15,901 under announcement of visitors? 620 00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:22,607 Again, this is a public cment 621 00:22:14,866 --> 00:22:24,109 period if you'd like to address 622 00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:26,311 the council. Yeah. Right now at 623 00:22:22,708 --> 00:22:29,815 the end. Yeah that's that's why 624 00:22:24,643 --> 00:22:33,585 I repeated that. Yes. It's this 625 00:22:26,912 --> 00:22:35,487 is public knowledge and 626 00:22:29,915 --> 00:22:36,621 visitors public comment. I got 627 00:22:33,685 --> 00:22:38,457 the sun glaring in myyes 628 00:22:35,587 --> 00:22:39,658 right behind me. So I'm going 629 00:22:36,722 --> 00:22:41,526 to move this move ahead this 630 00:22:38,557 --> 00:22:42,728 way. So you block the sun for 631 00:22:39,758 --> 00:22:44,596 me. Hey guys. I apologize for 632 00:22:41,626 --> 00:22:46,031 my tardiness. I did not know 633 00:22:42,828 --> 00:22:48,266 that the location shifted 634 00:22:44,696 --> 00:22:50,702 around, so I should have 635 00:22:46,131 --> 00:22:53,271 checked the location there. But 636 00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:55,407 you guys know me. I'm Coco from 637 00:22:50,802 --> 00:22:57,209 here in Wyoming, third Ward, 638 00:22:53,372 --> 00:23:00,078 and I'm here to speak about the 639 00:22:55,507 --> 00:23:02,981 illegal citizen surveillance 640 00:22:57,309 --> 00:23:05,817 cameras. I did get my articles 641 00:23:00,178 --> 00:23:08,320 in a little bit too late, but I 642 00:23:03,081 --> 00:23:10,522 did send it to Miss Postler as 643 00:23:05,917 --> 00:23:13,792 well as the attorney here last 644 00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:15,627 night. Your portal doesn't 645 00:23:10,622 --> 00:23:18,063 allow for URLs to my archive, 646 00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:19,531 so I could not send them 647 00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:22,033 directly. I did try to send it 648 00:23:18,163 --> 00:23:24,569 directly, just finding it on 649 00:23:19,631 --> 00:23:27,572 Google to the city clerk. So 650 00:23:22,134 --> 00:23:29,574 hopefully he got at least the 651 00:23:24,669 --> 00:23:31,410 URL to my archive of. And 652 00:23:27,672 --> 00:23:33,545 there's a folder specifically 653 00:23:29,674 --> 00:23:35,781 dedicated to the police abuse 654 00:23:31,710 --> 00:23:37,349 of these illegal flock systems. 655 00:23:34,646 --> 00:23:38,817 So again, I'll go over, you 656 00:23:35,881 --> 00:23:41,520 know, how they are legal under 657 00:23:37,449 --> 00:23:43,989 the Fourth Amendment, ratified 658 00:23:39,651 --> 00:23:47,926 in 1791. I don't believe I 659 00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:51,897 mentioned though about the 660 00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:54,433 Shaqiri versus US case from 661 00:23:48,026 --> 00:23:56,535 July 26th of 2026 that prevents 662 00:23:51,997 --> 00:23:57,969 geofencing. And these cameras 663 00:23:54,533 --> 00:24:00,939 around town do create a 664 00:23:56,635 --> 00:24:03,408 geofence. They watch where you 665 00:23:58,069 --> 00:24:07,045 go. They can tell where you've 666 00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:08,480 been on top of you know the 667 00:24:03,508 --> 00:24:10,148 other things. And I got the I 668 00:24:07,145 --> 00:24:13,819 got the flock contract, and 669 00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:15,687 I've shared it with a bunch of 670 00:24:10,248 --> 00:24:17,789 folks. And I only saw two kinds 671 00:24:14,186 --> 00:24:21,026 of flock cameras listed that 672 00:24:15,787 --> 00:24:22,427 had been ordered. The Falcon 673 00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:24,663 and the Falcon Flex. There was 674 00:24:21,426 --> 00:24:26,832 no mention of the mobile 675 00:24:22,527 --> 00:24:28,633 trailers in that contract. 676 00:24:24,763 --> 00:24:30,769 There was no mention of the 677 00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:32,604 cameras that were installed 678 00:24:28,733 --> 00:24:33,972 into the police squad car 679 00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:35,474 vehicles. So I don't know if I 680 00:24:32,704 --> 00:24:37,909 don't think those would be 681 00:24:34,072 --> 00:24:39,077 called Falcons. Even looking at 682 00:24:35,574 --> 00:24:40,946 flock site, it's hard to get a 683 00:24:38,009 --> 00:24:43,782 list of what's, you know, 684 00:24:39,177 --> 00:24:45,183 actually on there and what it's 685 00:24:41,046 --> 00:24:46,918 called. So I don't know if some 686 00:24:43,882 --> 00:24:48,854 information was omitted from my 687 00:24:45,283 --> 00:24:50,021 contract, the contracts I 688 00:24:47,018 --> 00:24:51,790 received, but that would be 689 00:24:48,954 --> 00:24:53,825 something of note. I would like 690 00:24:50,789 --> 00:24:54,893 to know, you know, what those 691 00:24:51,890 --> 00:24:59,164 models are called or iany 692 00:24:53,925 --> 00:25:01,032 information had been hidden 693 00:24:54,993 --> 00:25:03,201 there. So yeah, it's not a 694 00:24:59,264 --> 00:25:05,003 conspiracy theory, Mr. Mayor. I 695 00:25:01,132 --> 00:25:06,505 mean, we have the documentation 696 00:25:03,301 --> 00:25:08,273 and I will forward it when I 697 00:25:05,103 --> 00:25:10,375 get some responses back from 698 00:25:06,605 --> 00:25:12,544 Miss Postler and the attorney. 699 00:25:08,373 --> 00:25:15,380 And hopefully the city clerk 700 00:25:10,475 --> 00:25:16,882 already has that archive of 701 00:25:12,644 --> 00:25:19,451 information. I mean, it is 702 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:21,853 creating a surveillance ste. 703 00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:24,789 It is illegal under the Fourth 704 00:25:19,551 --> 00:25:26,858 Amendment. And again, there's 705 00:25:21,953 --> 00:25:29,828 Supreme Supreme Court 706 00:25:24,890 --> 00:25:31,763 precedents from July 26th of 707 00:25:26,958 --> 00:25:33,431 this year. So, I mean, there's 708 00:25:30,161 --> 00:25:34,933 a lot there showing how illegal 709 00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:36,301 these are. Just because 710 00:25:33,532 --> 00:25:37,736 everyone else is doing it 711 00:25:35,033 --> 00:25:42,541 doesn't mean that we have to do 712 00:25:36,401 --> 00:25:48,547 it. Thank you. Thank you for 713 00:25:37,836 --> 00:25:50,115 your time. Yeah. I wonder where 714 00:25:42,641 --> 00:25:56,121 the. Anybody else tonight under 715 00:25:48,647 --> 00:25:57,923 acknowledgment of visitors 716 00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:58,990 public comment. Okay.

So let's start at 721 00:26:02,260 --> 00:26:07,699 this side with Mr. Postman. 722 00:26:03,795 --> 00:26:10,902 Yeah, I ironically, there's one 723 00:26:05,597 --> 00:26:13,038 less deer in Wyoming tonight. 724 00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:15,173 One got hit in front of my 725 00:26:11,002 --> 00:26:17,742 office today, so. Oh, well, it 726 00:26:13,138 --> 00:26:19,911 does continue to be a problem. 727 00:26:15,273 --> 00:26:22,113 I'll be interested to see what 728 00:26:17,842 --> 00:26:25,984 John comes next week, what the 729 00:26:20,011 --> 00:26:30,322 progress is there.

Okay, 732 00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:36,428 I was going to mention the 733 00:26:31,489 --> 00:26:37,696 Exxon. Also, I did speak with 734 00:26:34,092 --> 00:26:39,331 the city manager before the 735 00:26:36,528 --> 00:26:41,132 meeting tonight.

But these do 767 00:27:36,621 --> 00:27:41,192 take a lot of work and it's, 768 00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:42,994 it's, it's great to be on the 769 00:27:40,025 --> 00:27:44,896 road. But we do understand that 770 00:27:41,292 --> 00:27:45,930 there's a lot of people that 771 00:27:43,094 --> 00:27:47,732 put a lot of effort into this. 772 00:27:44,996 --> 00:27:49,534 So thank you for that. 773 00:27:46,031 --> 00:27:52,037 Councilmember Hill. Yes, there 774 00:27:47,832 --> 00:27:57,842 was, as you all know, there was 775 00:27:49,868 --> 00:27:59,944 a shooting in the trailer park 776 00:27:52,137 --> 00:28:05,350 Park at 2 a.m. last week. And 777 00:27:58,176 --> 00:28:08,386 we can probably use the flock 778 00:28:00,045 --> 00:28:11,489 cameras to get that vehicle, 779 00:28:05,450 --> 00:28:15,760 which is very nice because 780 00:28:08,486 --> 00:28:17,562 there was a serious injury from 781 00:28:11,589 --> 00:28:20,865 that shooting. I went to a deer 782 00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:25,103 connection meeting last week 783 00:28:17,662 --> 00:28:29,074 with with the county. Very 784 00:28:20,965 --> 00:28:30,942 interesting. We have 2000 785 00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:33,078 hunters interested in hunting 786 00:28:29,507 --> 00:28:34,946 in Kent County. We're just 787 00:28:31,042 --> 00:28:36,214 having problems with the 788 00:28:33,178 --> 00:28:38,817 landowners accepting these 789 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:40,685 nters. And it's a it's a 790 00:28:36,314 --> 00:28:42,287 great program. It's a 791 00:28:38,917 --> 00:28:46,991 collaborative between the 792 00:28:40,785 --> 00:28:49,160 landowners and the hunters. The 793 00:28:42,387 --> 00:28:51,663 landowners can kind of set the 794 00:28:47,092 --> 00:28:53,865 stipulations for the hunters, 795 00:28:49,260 --> 00:29:01,039 and it's going to be be very 796 00:28:51,763 --> 00:29:02,474 good. But landowners are just 797 00:28:53,965 --> 00:29:05,710 having a difficult time with. 798 00:29:01,139 --> 00:29:07,846 Cooperating with the hunters. 799 00:29:02,807 --> 00:29:10,048 We are no longer number one in 800 00:29:05,810 --> 00:29:12,183 Cartier accidents. We pawn that 801 00:29:07,946 --> 00:29:14,319 over to Oakland County. Last 802 00:29:10,148 --> 00:29:20,458 year. We as Kent County. Kent 803 00:29:12,283 --> 00:29:22,293 County, yes. So they get the 804 00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:24,429 number one trophy for that now. 805 00:29:20,558 --> 00:29:26,664 There has to be a minimum of 806 00:29:22,393 --> 00:29:27,999 five acres in order to hunt in 807 00:29:24,529 --> 00:29:30,568 Wyoming or in Kent County. So 808 00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:33,805 that's kind of interesting to 809 00:29:28,099 --> 00:29:37,809 know. They can donate the extra 810 00:29:30,668 --> 00:29:39,144 venison they get to local 811 00:29:33,905 --> 00:29:42,080 entities. Hunters in the land, 812 00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:45,683 owners signed an agreement 813 00:29:39,244 --> 00:29:48,987 between each other, which is 814 00:29:42,180 --> 00:29:53,958 super good. So they're working 815 00:29:45,984 --> 00:29:56,194 on they're working on, on these 816 00:29:49,087 --> 00:29:57,262 issues. Kent County is the only 817 00:29:54,058 --> 00:30:00,064 state in the onlyouy in the 818 00:29:56,294 --> 00:30:03,701 state involved with this. It's 819 00:29:57,362 --> 00:30:05,837 kind of a pilot program, and 820 00:30:00,165 --> 00:30:07,238 relationship is the key. Crop 821 00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:15,947 damage permits, of course, 822 00:30:05,937 --> 00:30:19,450 significant increase in this 823 00:30:07,338 --> 00:30:21,286 year. Meridian Township does an 824 00:30:16,047 --> 00:30:23,154 urban program, which I think we 825 00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:27,458 could learn a lot from what the 826 00:30:21,386 --> 00:30:32,096 Meridian is doing to make this 827 00:30:23,755 --> 00:30:33,531 a success. What was discussed 828 00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:36,034 to is if these deer really 829 00:30:32,197 --> 00:30:37,936 continue to be a problem, 830 00:30:33,631 --> 00:30:39,370 there's a lot of problems with. 831 00:30:36,134 --> 00:30:41,840 There was three deaths of 832 00:30:38,036 --> 00:30:45,076 people in the Kent County this 833 00:30:39,470 --> 00:30:48,646 past year. The disease of the 834 00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:50,148 of the deer. Lyme disease in a 835 00:30:45,176 --> 00:30:53,351 deer in East Lansing. It's 836 00:30:48,746 --> 00:30:57,722 management versus hunting. And 837 00:30:50,448 --> 00:31:01,659 we need to manage this now, or 838 00:30:53,618 --> 00:31:03,428 it can cost a quarter of $1 839 00:30:57,822 --> 00:31:09,567 million to every city to bring 840 00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:12,103 sharpshooters into the into the 841 00:31:03,528 --> 00:31:15,340 every city to manage these deer. 842 00:31:09,667 --> 00:31:17,442 There's not enough food in the 843 00:31:12,203 --> 00:31:21,479 county for all of these deers, 844 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:23,514 for the deer. And I would like 845 00:31:18,543 --> 00:31:24,649 to ask Grand Valley for a 846 00:31:21,579 --> 00:31:25,583 browse survey from their 847 00:31:23,615 --> 00:31:27,719 biologists. I think they'd be 848 00:31:24,749 --> 00:31:29,754 super interesting. That's 849 00:31:25,683 --> 00:31:31,956 probably the reason why they 850 00:31:27,819 --> 00:31:33,291 are eating all of our gardens, 851 00:31:29,854 --> 00:31:36,327 because there's not enough. 852 00:31:32,056 --> 00:31:37,996 There's not enough food in the 853 00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:39,397 parks for them, and they want. 854 00:31:36,427 --> 00:31:41,232 The Grand Valley State 855 00:31:38,096 --> 00:31:44,135 biologists will provide these 856 00:31:39,497 --> 00:31:47,038 studies. Farm Bureau of Kent 857 00:31:41,332 --> 00:31:49,841 County is for this, and I have 858 00:31:44,235 --> 00:31:51,709 emailed the entitiest be. In 859 00:31:47,138 --> 00:31:54,846 order to have more of a 860 00:31:49,941 --> 00:31:59,217 discussion of what we actually 861 00:31:51,809 --> 00:32:02,453 have to do, there's a process 862 00:31:54,946 --> 00:32:04,722 to to get this done. Kent 863 00:31:59,317 --> 00:32:06,424 County picked up 4500 deer, but 864 00:32:02,553 --> 00:32:08,026 these were the only deer in the 865 00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:10,395 side of the road and in the 866 00:32:06,524 --> 00:32:12,163 ditches. Who knows how many 867 00:32:08,126 --> 00:32:15,066 more wer hit in and went off 868 00:32:10,495 --> 00:32:18,670 into the fields that Kent 869 00:32:12,263 --> 00:32:20,038 County will not get for those. 870 00:32:16,901 --> 00:32:22,006 So I thought it was a super 871 00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:24,442 interesting meeting, a lot of 872 00:32:20,138 --> 00:32:26,945 good information, and I've been 873 00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:30,214 a proponent of this for the 874 00:32:24,542 --> 00:32:31,683 last four years. I've been o 875 00:32:27,045 --> 00:32:34,519 the county or on the City 876 00:32:30,315 --> 00:32:38,089 commission and council member 877 00:32:31,916 --> 00:32:39,657 at large, and I would like to 878 00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:42,093 see this to continue. So thank 879 00:32:38,189 --> 00:32:44,195 you. Editor. I'm at editor at 880 00:32:39,757 --> 00:32:46,764 the meeting, and I'm so 881 00:32:42,193 --> 00:32:50,401 thankful he came to to help 882 00:32:44,295 --> 00:32:54,706 address this issue. So that's a 883 00:32:46,864 --> 00:32:58,977 lot. Who sponsored ts meeting? 884 00:32:50,501 --> 00:33:00,778 The Kent County Deer Management 885 00:32:54,806 --> 00:33:02,914 Coalition. So I thought, oh, I 886 00:32:59,077 --> 00:33:07,285 know, I toolots of notes. It 887 00:33:00,878 --> 00:33:08,686 was a great meeting and I've 888 00:33:03,014 --> 00:33:10,555 got the DNR.

All my plants, I walked 892 00:33:12,757 --> 00:33:19,864 in, I was in the park. It was 893 00:33:14,592 --> 00:33:22,433 funny. It was the morning after 894 00:33:16,127 --> 00:33:24,235 the shooting. I saw ten huge 895 00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:26,037 bucks in the park when I 896 00:33:22,533 --> 00:33:28,172 when I walk every morning, I'm 897 00:33:24,335 --> 00:33:30,308 like, I just kept seeing them 898 00:33:26,137 --> 00:33:31,743 one after another after another. 899 00:33:28,272 --> 00:33:33,711 Plus, there's triplets in 900 00:33:30,408 --> 00:33:36,681 Palmer Park, which is county 901 00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:38,950 owned. Yep. Which is county 902 00:33:33,811 --> 00:33:40,752 owned. So there's definitely a 903 00:33:36,781 --> 00:33:42,887 room for improvement. So yeah, 904 00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:45,490 well, this is our last couil 905 00:33:40,852 --> 00:33:48,292 meeting on the road for 2026. 906 00:33:43,588 --> 00:33:49,660 We have met in July, August and 907 00:33:45,590 --> 00:33:51,629 now September.
