From the transcript
My comments were kind of along the same line. I also wear the hat of being a CTC board member, and I know that the conversations with this technology and this, um, the actual system hasn't really been discussed.

I just think a little bit more conversation needs to happen, but I really am excited that this is moving forward and I want to do whatever we can to, to get it in place without it turning into, you know, we're sitting on technology we can't use and we're putting a burden on folks in the community that it's designed to help.
