kind of indication of how much ground you expect to cover knowing the issue a little bit more it's unclear to how to bring with the two parties parties together >> when i exhibited for a one week continuances it was my hope that whatever the last-ditch effort for both parties to how do you plead u come up with an agreement to move forward or have a positive discussion of trying to resolve it. i wasn't too sure if that was going to happen i left it up to the two parties i feel everyone is an did you want. because of the meeting on monday they can be pretty much this morning and double-checked with everyone there was enough
7:14 pm
positive discussion for both parties to want to continue it. whether it's going to come to a solution i don't know. as you know this issue has been around for seems like a decade. so for me to ask for this continuance as a desire for both parties compared to 10 years that's been in discussion i would be more than willing to support >> i'm happy to support the parties neighborhood as well as the project sponsor requests for a continuance i want to signal i don't have an appetite to continue it any further so i hope we get this matter resolved. >> any future discussion supervisor yee has made a motion
