be concerned if the intent was to encourage a start up lbe which is different than trying to get an lbe that has some experience into the site. >> i think that as a understand it, the way that it is written, they already have to have, i think that it is three years of ongoing percent so that addresses and it would not be start ups but they will be businesses that have already been operating and functions and giving them an opportunity to come to the port property. >> which i think that i 100 percent support and since we emphasized the component and the technical assistance, it gives that feeling that these are businesses that are not on their own, and i don't have a problem with businesses always need help, so it is always nice to know that they have somebody, but i want to make the distinction between and i would say if there was a three year operating experience requirement which is the normal for anybody looking at a small business and particularly from a landing standpoint and this is similar that we will be

4:33 am
would take, but i think that is what she was getting at as opposed to reconvene. >> right. >> the community effort and the bill planning. >> i got that and as i understand it it is a review and a report on what has been accomplished. >> if you could get an item on that. >> yeah, so i would like before i commit us, i would like to figure out what that means because she was very clear about wanting to see if we could do it in the next 90 days and i will have to figure out what it is and we will definitely make sure that we get back to you on that. >> thank you. >> and this is all a comment and we have been working on kind of some strategic visioning and so at some point, the question of when that will be coming back to the commission. >> agreed. >> yeah. >> i will put that on the list. >> but it is on the list but informally. >> any other new business? >> any other public comment? >> and the motion to adjourn? >> so moved. >> second. >> the meeting is adjourned. thank you. >> and thank you.
