Hello, Chair of General.
3:31:30
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson on the record.
3:31:32
Yep.
3:31:32
Yeah.
3:31:33
So I'm here to support support for intro 2 25, a chair by interest by Holden.
3:31:39
This is needed.
3:31:40
This is really needed.
3:31:41
But one thing I wanna ask the chair, I mean, the person issued the bill about holding.
3:31:47
What about the impoverished communities that don't have access to computers, don't have access to Internet?
3:31:52
Some people still use footphones.
3:31:55
How they wanna access this information at their convenience.
3:31:59
That's one thing I wanna access the chair.
3:32:01
I mean, Bob Holden, how how will it affect the inter districts?
3:32:06
We don't know what inter districts don't have them access to Internet like like like that.
3:32:10
We could say ACP and free Wi Fi, but that's not enough with our people that that just flat out old school and that just do rely on paperwork.
3:32:21
And that's one of my outbound acts like holding.
3:32:24
I know you're the chair, you should told them, like, well, well, the people don't want access to the computers.
3:32:28
I understand that everything's digital, but there's people that still do things online.
3:32:34
And another bill I support is the is the power bill to keep keep power bill to require that there'll be more water fountain stations, but they need we need to know where they're at.
3:32:44
That's the problem.
3:32:44
We need to know where all these water fountains are at.
3:32:47
And my my suggestion, chair chair general is to put a take out that water fountain right outside the in the hallway that enters the chambers and replace it with a new filter, like the new type filter, what you can put water bottles in other than the old school, like, you guys, like, do this and old school.
3:33:07
Do you mean
James F. Gennaro
3:33:08
You mean the one right here?
3:33:09
Yeah.
3:33:10
Ralph saw it right now.
3:33:11
In the

3:33:11
hallway right before we bought we saw the chambers for stated meetings.
James F. Gennaro
3:33:13
And Yeah.
3:33:14
I I canceled chambers.
3:33:15
I didn't I realized there was one there.
3:33:17
I don't know.
Christopher Leon Johnson
3:33:17
I know.
3:33:18
I think that's where my decast, but, I mean, decast I mean, this is what a record decast should update that water fountain and update all the water fountain city council chain city council chambers to make it for, like, the new new versions like water filters and you put bottles and cup sentence like that instead of, like, use your mouth.
3:33:37
So I I support I support powers bill with that needs more.
