What our kids do in school IS parent's business. Thank you for putting this on the agenda and moving the item forward. 23-571 Tank Farm No more high density. This WILL create more traffic congestion and wear and tear on our infrastructure. Can we please put this this to rest once and for all. Really, low income housing on the beach too?This will be a forever negative high density footprint in HB right across from the beach. 24-672 Security How interesting that the people that are proposing this item to have apparatus to detect guns are the same people that have spewed hatred and false narratives and fed the news false narratives and conducted cattle calls. The same two people that bullied and did the same to Tito Ortiz. The same people that do cattle calls where people come from out of HB..including authors of the books that are relocated in the library. It's never about what is right for the majority citizens; it is about their hatred for conservatives and hatred for HB. You can see it from their fan base vs. the conservative fan base. I recall the night the conservatives took their seat on the dias...these three totally ignored the four WINNERS and felt forced to shake the extended hands of the just voted in. I also remember when the previous majority including Moser and Kalmick had police escort them to the chambers (legends in their own minds)when me and some others were driving thru the parking lot in protest. No more than 20 cars...Driving thru the parking lot in a circle for at most ten minutes. One time. They also had someone taking down license plates. We were such a threat. The horns, I guess were a threat. They were paraded from the police station in front of the circling cars surrounded by police while Erik Peterson was watching the cars drive around and talking to various people and waving at some drivers who waved at him..yes, we were waving at Erik Peterson....very threatening, we were. No signs, no yelling just riding around in circles. We have security..our police officers who are trained and many in different areas. Here they are trying to take our guns away. What about conceal and carry? How about they tell the truth and converse like mature adults instead of making rude and immature faces, smirks, gestures and attacking sarcastic comments, walking out of meetings, shaking fingers and savoring their fans'poor behavior. They are nurturing and feeding this unsafe behavior...that could carry out into the parking lot. How about we look at where the trouble is coming from? I do believe the last several meetings have improved. I believe many are getting the message that they will be escorted out and it is working. As always,thank you for reading my comments and considering. I respect and am so grateful for everything you have accomplished and the promises you have kept. Best regards, Kris Carroll
