Leonard Krog Yes

Else. And a lot of people have taken a very great interest in this issue. I might say, for the record, though, that my position has not changed. I'm still an option a guy. I think one facility, one structure, an attractive public community. Facility is important, but I'm conscious. Of where we are at in terms of council's views on this and the rather torturous road we've had to take.

Janice Perrino Yes

Thank you, worship. Just to clarify, I also have not changed my position. I am in favor only. Of the original a project or the first option. So I would be voting this down no matter what? However, the way councilor Brown has brought this forward by voting in favor of. His motion, we, in fact, get rid of what we've got on the table. So for that reason. I just wanted to clarify with people. I am still in favor of option a, which is the larger facility, but I will be voting in favor of this just to get it off the books.

Paul Manly Yes

Thank you. I'm going to vote in favor as well. I think I'll follow up with another motion. Potentially if somebody else doesn't, but. We see the need. For. A major redo at Loudon park and. There are a lot of competing visions, and I think that. There are options here.
