at 5:34Before we move forward, I think it's important that, I think, Roshonda, Roshonda, what I want you to do, if you can, over the last five years, if you can inform us of how many kids have lost their life to these retention ponds.
at 21:59Can someone from the private sector speak, I'm not sure if anyone is here from the Builders Association, speak on, I guess, what mechanism restrictions are in place when it comes to retention ponds?
at 2:48:14I brought that up to go to show you that this is a very important issue to the community in the city of Jacksonville.
at 2:48:52Like I said, some of the recommendations was maybe a committee, especially a committee to move forward and tackle this issue.
at 1:01:13But have they met with the Councilwoman, Ms. Pittman, and you guys have discussed the conditions of the hold-on yards?
at 1:02:37If you want to do two weeks, like I said, I just want to save us an hour worth of time before the community come up here and say,
at 1:59:06So, Mr. King, you want to – through the chair, you want to come up and speak to, I guess, the proposed condition that she just recommended?
at 2:00:38I mean, before I propose the amendment, and just for conversation purposes, entertainment purposes, you could speak to it.
at 1:51:55Okay, but yeah, like, so what I said, I mean, so pretty much I'm just, you know, next time when you guys come before council,

at 19:08So he said at this point we could have this designation for a gas station, but we can't allow it for, I guess,
at 19:46I mean, it seems to me that a gas station is not that much difference from, I guess, a propane tank.
at 0:05Well, good morning, everyone. Welcome to our June 1st Neighborhoods Meeting. I'll call the meeting to order, and we'll go ahead and start with introductions to my left with Mr. Delaney.
at 34:15Before I go to anybody else, we need to make sure we're clear on this because there's still some, I guess, some confusion about the substitute of what's going to be going into the general, back into the reserves,
at 2:54:56I just want to let you guys know that District 8 is predominant African American community.
at 2:55:28So airport, River City, Pecan Park, by First Coast, no more Chick-fil-A's, no more jails,
