You know, I 've spent quite a few hours walking around the building looking from the outside , looking from the streets near the building . The plastic that' s coming off the windows is falling on to the street into the gutters . That Stormwater system drains to Gibson Creek. All those little pieces of plastic aren 't really getting picked up ; they' re actually getting washed into the storm drain system , potentially getting in to Gibson Creek . I want to make sure we have in the record that that's another item , just another item that gives me concern because , and I think it should concern all of our citizens . Because there 's a group in our community that spends countless hours throughout the year cleaning Gibson Creek, and we continually preach and try to educate our citizens about not polluting our water ways and this is just another example of - - here 's one condition that is contributing to that .
