So I can imagine where, that's the only one I came up with, but I can imagine where that would occur.
So I'd just like to leave it open.
That's it.
Thank you.
Council Member Showalter.
Well, I attended a afternoon workshop at BCDC on sediment.
You've heard me talk about sediment a lot, and this was pretty exciting because we are putting forth policies about changes in the use of dredge material, and this is just an important step in it becoming California law.
And the reason that's important is because for sea level rise protection, there's sort of three basic things we gotta do.
We have to change our policies to allow the things that we need to build to protect us, like the restoration of Pond AW, we need to change those policies.
We're working on that.
And we need to have the building products to do it.
And one of the major building products, the building blocks, is just dirt.
And where do we get that dirt?
Well, we get a lot of it from dredging and we get a lot of it from construction sites that instead of sending it to a landfill and paying for a tipping fee, they can take it to a construction site, which we did for Pond A2W and we're doing it now.
And then the third thing, of course, is we have to figure out how to pay for it.
That's a whole nother story.
But then I wanted to end on a happy note, exciting, fun note is I had the pleasure of being at the
the first concert on the green, I mean, a concert on the plaza that we do every Friday night during the sort of the long hours of the year.
And so there will be music and dancing every Friday night from 6 to 7.30.
Good evening, I just want to say that I appreciate the focus on buildings and transportation and I urge the city of mountain view to maintain its focus on climate change, thank you.
