The questions I had actually were related to the concerns committee board 15 had.
1:17:02
I know you stated that it was less than 0.2 percentage of floods within the area, but they did have concerns that this was a flooding area.
1:17:11
I'm pretty sure residents live over there.
1:17:12
They're seeing certain things happening.
1:17:14
So I did see that you had the resiliency plan.
1:17:17
So I would just say if you can reiterate it to the community board what this plan is.
1:17:22
So they're fully aware and also related to the NICE development that's located by a company source, some members of the community board.
1:17:30
Living that development as well.
