They wanted to see a plan. And so we said, we were, we got together with the architects and we said, “Well, we wanna do three things that are relatively easy to do, to get started right away.” ‘Cause you had to have, on the 90th day, you had to have somebody on payroll working on those projects. And the city plan, one guy in the City Planning Commission and the architect that worked with us from an architectural firm, we devised, they put together of the grant proposal, and the city had to approve the grant proposals. Well, the zoo has never been a, had never been a priority in the city. Had never been, you know. And they said, “We don’t want the zoo to get,” they didn’t say it out loud, you know out loud. But they were told, the guy at City Planning said he was told that, “Well, they don’t want,” they didn’t want to take away the possibility where the old people’s hospital, Laguna Honda, would get funded, and so they don’t want to submit anything for the zoo. Well it turns out, I didn’t know this till later, it turns out that when the day was over and the plans were sitting in the city in, all of the, the proposals were sitting in City Planning, the City Planning guy went over with our proposal and just calmly after work, after hours, put it on the top of the pack.
