What members said, in order
Does, does the average response time also include a phone call from a security company when, when the alarm's been tripped?Janet Riley · Councilmember18:01
I agree with Councilmember Arvidson. I like the welcome too. I don't love any of them. They all seem to me to be a little bit like you're going into a business park and not into the city of Orinda.Cara Hoxie · Councilmember1:28:21
I'm not an artist, but the Orinda doesn't seem big enough and in the center enough, and I, I don't know, it doesn't seem quite right. Um, so I don't know that that's very helpful, but, um, I do like Welcome To, and I would definitely like to see that included on a sign.Cara Hoxie · Councilmember1:28:46
We want to stage it and we want to do the ADA projects first. Um, I guess the only point that has been made is is the thought of finding nonprofit money, not just grant money, but raising funds in Orinda. Even though we don't have the Parks Foundation anymore, there may be other bodies that would rally around this.Janet Riley · Councilmember2:30:42
