Um, no, I think we went through this before and we talked about, um, getting it cleaned up a little bit before, um, this happens. And I know it's going to be a while before they get it, if they get it. Because right now we do have a— and the problem is lessening with the— they're not homeless people, they're just people that hang out in the park. And from what I understand, they've been cleaning the park, the residents that are in there. And DPW has been coming through on a pretty regular basis to clean it up. So I don't have a problem with it.

Venice Ervin 1:34:20

Yeah, yeah, I have a question.

Venice Ervin 1:34:23

Um, so which flag are they going to raise if they do? Did they put in, um, application for a flag yet?

Venice Ervin 1:34:45

Was that today?

Venice Ervin 1:34:56

I asked that because I need to know before I vote on it.

Venice Ervin 1:35:02

'cause I talked to some people last night.

Venice Ervin 1:35:05

And I told them I wouldn't vote for the flag to go up. So I need to know when they put that in.

Venice Ervin 1:35:10

'Cause if they put it in today, I would not vote for this.

Venice Ervin 1:35:14

Then I won't be able to vote for it then. I'm just saying.

Venice Ervin 1:35:22

I talked to some people last night after I came from ISLN about this. Same subject. And I let them know they couldn't do that. I didn't want them to do that because there's a lot of different Juneteenth flags. And they couldn't even tell me which flag they wanted to hang up. So, and I told people I have a Black American flag on my house along with the American flag. But I want to know what flag they're going to hang if they're going to try to hang it.

Venice Ervin 1:35:52

I'm sorry. Oh no, I'm done.
