I'll second. Uh all in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. We're moving on to proclamations and presentations. And um it seems tonight we have a um presentation by um Mid Coast Community Council, an update. Thank you for coming. You're welcome. So uh thanks for inviting me. I'm Sword Woolinger from the Mid Coast Community Council. That's way up north in the unincorporated region of Half Moon Bay slash San Mateo County. And uh I feel like I owe you guys an update on what's happening at Sype our Cypress Point Housing Project. So on December 3rd, the people in the community received a flyer saying that construction is gonna begin soon. So by the third week in December, construction on that housing project was underway. Um and as as you drive by or look at it, you can see they're in full swing working on on that housing project. Now I I wanted to bring a couple things to your attention um regarding that and a final statement about some about that also. Um it's recently they discovered asbestos on the site, so they had to do an asbestos abatement, and that's in the progress of being cleaned up right now. The second thing that was located on the site was a tank full of something, and the contents of the tank are being investigated to what they are and what its mitigation would look like in the future. So um with that saying that uh Cypress Point was approved was exempt from CEGO. And I think probably there is a lesson to be taken in there somewhere. So that's that's all with uh Cypress Point. Um I'd also like to say that the Mid Coast is grateful that the sewer force main project is underway and that this and that the ISMD I had to read that is up for approval on October sev on on the 17th. Not October 17th, but this 17th. They also one other thing I'd like to mention about up there in Monterra is there's a Caltran bypass property that's pretty overgrown with trees. And we're working on getting fire mitigation and some fuel load reduction to improve the fire safety of that part of weight in the back of Monterra. Uh finally, I'd like to let you know what's happening at our next meeting. So at our next meeting, uh the sheriff and the department of emergency management will be giving a talk to us about um emergency evacuation plans. And uh what's also interesting about this is they're gonna use the Laddris software, they use the Laddress software in the process of planning this. So I know people are very interested in ladder software, and it will be an opportunity to learn what that is. Um that's my update for today, and I'm willing to field any questions that are easy. So I have one. So is it the the meeting tomorrow night where they're going to be discussing the emergency management? Yes, that's correct. Okay, great.
