From the transcript
It's about making sure that this permit is granted to this that this permit grant, if it's granted by the city, isn't left trying to solve problems that should have been addressed beforehand. The responsible decision is not to approve and then investigate or attempt to mitigate problems later. I respectfully request the city council to deny this CUP. Protecting public safety, our water, air, and neighborhoods should come before approving a site for industrial use whose impacts have not been adequately determined. Thank you for your time.
