2:59:42
Ryan, I wanna thank.
2:59:43
I wanna give you a proclamation.
2:59:46
I mean, what again, what you're doing and and and how you're, you know, very passionate about what you're what you're saying.
2:59:54
And and your observation on PS nine lit you know, it's right down the street.
2:59:59
And they had problems before the Amazon was built.
3:00:03
And and that's why I'm still working to try to move that school because I can't move Amazon.
3:00:09
I don't I don't think we can at this point.
3:00:12
But that school should not be there.
3:00:14
But just the numbers that you gave me, that's a good starting point.
3:00:19
So I'd like to talk to you some more.
Ryan Lokey
3:00:22
If I may say, I've actually been in contact with your office.
3:00:26
We met a few months ago about Intro 09:41.
3:00:30

3:00:35
So we get a we get a lot.
3:00:36
Yeah.
Ryan Lokey
3:00:36
Yeah.
3:00:36
And we've been doing our best to actually try and get some more support to sanitation as well as BIC for the cameras for the illegal dumping in your district.
3:00:46
But I'll admit, it it changes constantly.
Robert F. Holden
3:00:48
The cameras take forever to get up.
3:00:50
Yep.
3:00:50
I mean, I
Ryan Lokey
3:00:50
Unless they get up.
Robert F. Holden
3:00:51
I won't be in the council by the time they get up, but at least I'll know that's protecting a neighborhood.
3:00:56
They make they actually pay for themselves within like one dumping.
3:01:00
Absolutely.
3:01:01
Dumpings, let's say.
Ryan Lokey
3:01:02
Just unfortunately, the the individuals who participate in in that particular sport, they are they're very good about spotting the cameras.
Robert F. Holden
3:01:11
Oh, are.
3:01:11

3:01:16
I don't know about that.
3:01:17
So I didn't even know about three in the four in the morning that's that's when these trucks are coming in.
Ryan Lokey
3:01:21

Ryan Lokey
3:01:32

3:01:33
You would be amazed, sir, about the number of trucks in their 53 foot trailers, and you are spot on about how they're how they're sticking out of the loading docks.
3:01:41
I'll put it this way.
3:01:42
On certain roads such as your Review Ave, you could have about 35 to 40 long haul at about 4AM, and they'll block the entire road.
Robert F. Holden
3:01:51
Wow.
Ryan Lokey
3:01:52
