So in especially on the West Side, because on the east side it's we have lots of parks, of course, as far as I'm concerned, we could have even more. But when we're adding it to the the West Side, which has a Darth, we've done studies before and so that's just fabulous. So, Lena, congratulations. I think this is a fabulous idea and thank you very much for bringing it forward. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Very good to click as my address. I would not have. Come up to speak here. I would have spoken before at the other item of the section had the information that was imparted during a discussion been as part of that and the item. It may seem technical and. That to me is a red flag that needs to be clarified. Was the statement that a park is a park? Is it a park is a park, and that that becomes problematic? Is this a dog park? Could it be a dog park? Could it be a golf course? And this comes into focus because the question comes up a number of times when people view incorrectly the Marine Stadium as a park. An ordinary park, which it is not. It was specifically grant needed for one purpose, one purpose only boat. I imagine a flea market, not a art center, not a dog pound, not a music center. So I think. I have some concerns and I would hope that the city attorney could clarify those and restrict the fight and hold up the funding unless there's a satisfactory definition of this. What has been presented appears to me to be fine, but I have the strong concerns and objections to a class of to a embracing the concept that a park is a park. Is that a park is a park. Thank you. Do you see no other public comment on the item and no any other council discussion? CNN members, please go and cast your vote. Motion carries eight. Sarah Nathan We have 11 and then ten. Item 11.
