9:10>> Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you.

9:12Thank you, Council Vital. Council Orum.

9:15>> Thank you, Mr. President. Question on

9:17the pickup. Is it just for CVS or is it

9:20going to the other uh different

9:22businesses that will be coming by for

9:24pickup? Um so the fourth sign that is

9:28proposed is the drive up sign

9:30>> and that is um a different type of scope

9:34that we're working on where um employ uh

9:37customers will be able to pull in and

9:40the employee they'll do like an online

9:42order and then the employees will will

9:46shop for them and then bring the order

9:48out to their cars that it's kind of

9:49seamless process. Um, and then this is

9:53going to notify where the door is where

9:54the where they can kind of see the

9:56employee come out to the car.

9:58>> I see. So, this won't just be for CVS

10:01then.

10:01>> No, no, the CVS sign's already existing

10:04there.

10:04>> Okay. Thank you.

10:06>> Thank you, Mr. President.

10:07>> Council Presiato.

10:08>> Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for

10:09being here. Um, I'm just curious. Uh, is

10:12there a designated waiting area for uh

10:13pickup? Yes, there's already uh going to

10:16be a designated stalls that were pre

10:19previously approved from the town.

10:21>> So, my follow-up question is um does is

10:24that is it necessary to have that sign

10:25up if there are already uh designated

10:27areas probably with signage I would

10:29assume that says drive up?

10:30>> Yeah, it's just so for the

10:34um

10:36pedestrians to be able to see where cuz

10:39it's going to be in line with the stalls

10:41where they can pick it up as well. So,

10:43we're going to have a couple beacons out

10:44there, but it's going to be able to um

10:47show the pedestrians where their the

10:50door is, where they're getting their

10:51supplies from, and where they can park

10:53for it.

10:54>> So, employees walk out to the car.

10:57>> Yeah.

10:57>> Okay. So, pedestrians don't need to know

11:00exactly where this store is.

11:02>> Um

11:02>> they they already have the designated

11:03area where they parked.

11:04>> Yeah. Yeah.

11:06>> All right. That's all. Thank you.

11:07>> Thank you, Council Presiato. Any other

11:09questions from the counselors? Councelor

11:11Fillo.

11:12>> Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you,

11:14Matthew. Just one quick question. So, is

11:16the drive up service currently in use at

11:17this location or or is this new?

11:20>> Uh, no, they're not currently used.

11:21They're being uh it's already approved

11:23by the city and it will be being built

11:26and I think this upcoming year.

11:28>> Gotcha. And I would assume that most of

11:30these targets do have this drive up sign

11:32regardless.

11:32>> Yes, it's happening nationwide.

11:33>> Gotcha. Thank you. Thank you, Mr.

11:35President.

11:35>> Thank you, Council Pillo. Council Nan.

11:37>> Thank you, Mr. President. Um, could you

11:39just clarify the difference between this

11:40service and the service that you already

11:42have with you have an a mobile order and

11:44you pull into the spots out in front of

11:45Target and then click in through the

11:47app? What's the difference in that?

11:49>> So, regarding the mobile order, um, this

11:52is morely of where you can kind of

11:57sit not where you have to like pull up

11:59in front of the store and block like

12:02block the entranceways or anything like

12:03that. that it's more of just like a

12:05where you can sit in the stall and you

12:07can have more than one or two mobile

12:09order store uh pickups and it's more of

12:13I think 12 um off the top of my head and

12:16so it's more so multiple people can kind

12:19of get their orders at the same time and

12:21it'll take the shopping time down uh

12:24tremendously.

12:26>> Thank you councel Naven. Any other

12:28questions from the counselors?

12:30Any questions from the counselors?

12:33questions from the counselors hearing
