Good, thank you. All right, and are we recording? All right. Madam Chair of the Water Committee meeting, if you want to call the meeting to order, yes, we can. Okay. Just make sure our microphones are on so that we can hear the recording. We call the meeting to order. Great. My mic is on. Thank you. All right, well, thank you so much. You'll notice in the audience today, I made sure to have some of our water team here who are our subject matter experts. I'm very excited to be here today. I want to give the Water Committee an update on some progress we've made. Before I get into it, though, I just do want to talk a little bit about how we got here, what the next few months are going to look like, and obviously, as Kathleen brings up the presentation, we'll go through the slides in a moment. So with that, I'm pleased to provide you with an update on our granular activated carbon project, the GAC project at the Cypress Water Production Facility. It's been under construction for at least six years or so, and we've made a tremendous amount of progress in the last 18 months. I'll just kind of give you a quick history or a brief history of what the last 18 months involved. So last July, actually coincidentally, almost exactly a year ago, I came to the city council and gave a presentation updating the council and the community on the progress of the project. At the time, I had indicated that the project had stalled for a couple of years. It was inactive. We had shut the water down, a

had what was proposed on it. It's just, it's a little daunting. And I think this is important that we do this right. Okay, we have a motion. Approve staff recommendation. Okay, do we have a second? Okay, I'll second it. All in favor? Discussion. Discussion? I actually had a question before the motion. Okay. Adrian, have you seen, and this is for housing, correct? Well, the table I showed is for housing, which it's, I believe, the majority of the development we get, but it would also affect commercial development as well. I think as far as housing goes, we've seen a lot of new, well, kind of the same developers building in Lomita. And I was just told recently that we had, there's a LLC that's coming in and buying a lot of property here in Lomita without us knowing. And that concerns me. And I don't know if you've seen that, George, and your workings as a real estate, but it was just brought to my attention. And if we have these outside folks coming in and buying property, fixing up, flipping, I mean, we should do something here. And that really concerns me. So, and I mean, I would urge the staff to kind of look more into that, maybe talk to some of the realtors in town in regards to that, because it's a, it's a one or two individuals that's doing that. And we don't need a monopoly of, of, of property owners coming in and dictating to us what we want here in Lomita. So I think we have to do this. I think I agree with what you're saying, Barry about, you know, the, the sewer fee
