Yeah, um, natural burial was kind of a new, uh, prospect for me, something I hadn't considered or really heard of. Sounds very interesting. It sounds like you guys have a lot of people interested in support in that, but this— that's not what this ordinance is about. This ordinance is about disposing of these 10 acres to a nonprofit for free. And that's where I'm not sure that that is in the best public interest with this land.
