City Council - Regular Meeting

35% growth every year everywhere else in Ohio except Bowling Green. We don't have the exact numbers, but we were told at the time there were about 10 installations. When this rule was put into place, uh the last time we asked for numbers from the city, they told us there were nine. So, it's possible we may have actually went down a little. We may have lost a solar home. And we also have a uh in the meantime we've the city has decided to do a um climate action resilience plan which includes right in the plan encouraging uh renewable energy things like solar because what we've been learning in the intervening years since this rule was put into place is that the grid is fragile. Global warming is is proceeding at a rate faster than anyone had predict well almost anyone had predicted uh back at that time. Increasingly grids are being stressed by high heat days by weather events. Having homes that are solar powered and have some independent energy source and storage increases the resiliency for the whole city because if somebody's got panels on the roof and they the um power goes down, there's no one nobody else has air conditioning or heating in their house, you know, they're going to open their doors to their neighbors because that's just how people around here are. Um so also in the meantime the city has wasted tens of thousands of dollars uh fighting this fighting to protect this from a lawsuit. Um Leatra Harper has sued the city and we're putting we're spending good money after bad in order

to to keep in place a penalty to keep in place a policy that nobody wants. This is one of the other things that we've learned in the meantime is that pretty much nobody who lives in Bowling Green wants there to be a penalty. Pretty much nobody wants to discourage solar rooftops the way that the city is actually doing. Um, as you know, I ran for mayor and on largely on this issue and I got thousands of votes and I, as I've reported to the council before, even those who didn't vote for me when I went door todo, they all agreed with me on the fact that we should not be penalizing solar panels. So the money we've already wasted fighting to protect this penalty will never be made back because as there's so few houses that have solar, even though we're paying our full penalty, it's only going to be a fraction of the money the city has already lost uh in court paying lawyers to defend an ordinance that nobody wants. And so what I have for you tonight is an ordinance that uh I think everybody can get behind that everybody would like. And as I said basically we used AI to analyze the city's municipal code. And we discovered that uh in fact the code we were told another thing that we were told 5 years ago which has turned out not to be true is that the council has no authority over what the municipal utility board does that you're helpless in the face of any regulations that they create and that simply isn't true. Uh I have an ordinance here that we've written for you. Uh it has a number of where's such as whereas in the city Bowling Green encourages the development of renewable and distributed energy resources within the community and that's taken from your carrop report

which this council has approved and accepted. Whereas households and businesses that install solar voltaic systems contribute to local energy resilience, reduce peak demand, and support the city's long-term sustainability goals. I mean, that is just true on the face of it. And I'll remind the council that it was almost a year ago, it was last May, that I gave you folks a report based on five years of actual data from three different solar systems that are that were installed in the city. And in every case, the city made money off of our panels even without the penalty because we don't it solar energy that we generate here doesn't include transmission, doesn't include generation. And so the city buys it from the the people at seven and sells it at 13 and a half. Our solar panels actually lower the bills for our neighbors. It does not increase it. And so another whereas and I I've gave a report on this to the uh to the sustainability subcommittee and Bill Herald complimented me on my where's so uh but I want to share with the whole council. Whereas chapter 52.02 02 of the codified ordinances establishes the board of public utilities and grants it the authority to manage and control the electric system. And whereas that chapter further states and this is the the crux of it any bylaws or regulations created by the board quote shall not be repugnant to ordinances of the city. [snorts] And whereas the city finds it necessary and appropriate to establish policy limitations on the types of rates and charges that may be imposed in order to promote renewable energy adoption and prevent discrimin discriminatory treatment of customers who install solar energy systems. So that's the crux of it. You folks, you elected officials as appoint as opposed to the appointed

officials on the board. You have a not just a ability, but you have a responsibility to represent the views and desires of the community on this matter. And as I've said before, when I went door to door, nobody thought this was a good idea. And to this day, people are still shocked when I tell them that Bowling Green has a penalty on solar panels. And that's why we haven't had a new solar installation in five years. Um, and I just wanted to really quick ask the audience, how many of you think we should have a $4 per month penalty on all our solar panel installations in the city Bowling Green? All right. How many of you think the council should pass an ordinance?

Joe, if you want to have a public forum, you're more than welcome to, but this is a time for you to address council, not the audience. All right. Well, I I I think just real quick, how many show hands would like to see the or the penalty? Ignore me then. Well, just briefly, just for a second or two. I see. Did you bring a copy of the ordinance, Mr. Dear? I did. Yes. Can we see a copy of the ordinance, please? Sure. Did you bring additional copies? Uh, yeah. The um members of the Yeah, I already have a copy from Monday, as do I. Thanks, Joe.

Thanks. So now you might think that this, you know, that that'll the an elected official body like the council doesn't actually have any authority over an appointed body that has specific responsibilities like the municipal utility board. But actually something is interestingly happening at the state level which kind of mirrors this. uh Senate Bill 294. [snorts] Uh what's happening is the Senate the Republicans on the Senate who oppose wind and solar energy are saying they're using their authority to create an or to create a law a definition saying that uh wind and solar are not reliable energy sources because they define reliable as having more than a 50% capacity factor and forbidding the Ohio Power Sighting Board from approving any sighting requests for sources of energy that are unreliable. And so this legislative technique is being used at the state level to try to eliminate wind and solar power. And that makes it even more vital that those of us at the local level who believe in wind and solar. And I I know either privately or publicly. I know Bill very publicly almost all of you I have heard say that you do not want to discourage wind and solar that you want to encourage solar in the city. And I am telling you that it's impossible to put solar in the city as long as the regulation put in place by the by the municipal utility board stands. And so I would ask you to pass this ordinance that we've written for you. Um it pretty much just goes through

and defines solar energy, defines customer generators, and uh prohibits monthly fees, solar specific capacity charges, standby or bake backup power requirements or minimum bill increases or adjustments are applied to customer services. It basically just says you can't put a search charge or any sort of penalty on a rooftop solar installation. You have to let it have the same access to the grid as other energy sources. Um it also has an emergency clause declaring this an emergency and and saying so that you could actually if you wanted you could pass this tonight. But you know that's that's kind of up to you. But that's, you know, we've been fighting this battle for 5 years now. And as I said at the beginning, everything that we were told at the at the start of this battle has turned out not to be true. And I've detailed that to you in reports previously. And once again, this is a situation where the majority of the people don't want a solar penalty across the board. Conservative, Republican, nobody wants this. And you have to ask, you know, we're in a time when young people are very discouraged about government in general. They they don't believe democracy, they don't believe elected officials represent their desires or their needs anymore. They feel that things are being taken in the wrong direction. Things like global warming are racing ahead of them and taking away their future. I want to prove the pessimists wrong. I want to prove the people who say democracy in the US doesn't work anymore. And I'd like you to help me do that by passing this ordinance. And I'd be happy, more than happy, overjoyed to answer any questions that

you might have.

Um, [clears throat] so you know, you cited some some language from the city charter. If you go down further in the city charter um uh 30.52 it lists duties and uh these are the duties. It says shall be the duty of the board of public utilities to perform the following. [gasps] And it gives an A through J and D on the list of duties that are assigned to the board of public utilities is D. Fix rates. Fix all rates and charges to be made to the consumers of the waterworks, electric, and sewer. uh systems. So in the city charter, it specifically assigns that duty to the board of public utilities.

Yes. And they and for the city to pass an ordinance that goes against the city charter would be um well not something I would desire to do.

This does not go against the city charter. Uh this ordinance specifically repeats that that the the board of public utilities has the authority to manage and control the electric system and set rates and which they have done for their the entirety of their existence. But it also says that their actions shall not be repugnant to ordinances of the city. And the reason that is put in there is because those people need to have some oversight. They are not they should not be the beall and endall. Most of them, you know, I've been following the board of utilities for many years. Many of them have no utility experience whatsoever. The question is why do you exist? Why does city council exist? And you have a responsibility to represent the people of Bowling Green and to reign in thing organizations like the municipal utility board when they do their duty when they are derelictked in their duty and put in place regulations and rate and other actions which are wrong. They made a mistake here. They made a mistake 5 years ago. They are unwilling to admit it and you [snorts] have a responsibility to fix it. That's why we elect city council people and don't just let the professional staff run the city. You have to approve the deals that they make. You have to sign off on agreements and purchases above a certain limit. You have an authority and a responsibility to oversee the municipal utility board. And this is an instance where they badly need some discipline. They badly need overseeing.

I think what he's saying is that we do not have that authority. It is very deliberately organized outside the legislative structure so that they can make objective decisions about rate setting which by the way has allowed our community to lead in this area for decades. We pioneered commercial wind energy in the state of Ohio. Right. the largest solar field in the state. 40% of our energy comes from renewable sources. Yes, the Board of Public Utilities has been largely responsible for all of that.

But we also have signed a 50-year contract to get 60% of our electricity from coal. We took steps. We were a leader. We went boldly into the 21st century as a city, but we have since turned around. We've we've retreated from that leadership role. We could have been putting up rooftop solar and home backup batteries this whole time, this whole 5 years. We could have at least been keeping pace with the rest of Ohio, which is actually Ohio's growth at 35% is kind of low in terms of national averages. Texas is is racing ahead of us. Uh California is racing ahead of us. I believe that like states like C, Tennessee and Kentucky are now going to race ahead of us because they've had the huge long power outage which in other states has prompted a wave of these home solar rooftop installations. We have not and we will not until we take care of this problem. And again, I just take you back to the language of the codified ordinances. Yes, they have the right to make rules and regulations and bylaws, but those shall not be repugnant to ordinances which you create. You create the ordinances. They have to fall in line with what you tell them is the the law of this city. You are the lawmakers. They are the rule makers. You set policy. They implement policy. They're implementing policy badly in a way that's hurting the city of Bowling Green and has knocked us off our leadership dis. They knocked us off that we're we're not even on the floor anymore. This is why you need to step forward. Take be a little bit brave. All right. It takes a little courage. Pass an ordinance that they that their

rules may may not be repugnant to. Well, and in fact, we did pass an ordinance in 2022 that would have offset this charge fully and provided a $1,000 credit for new installation. I think you were at that meeting. You didn't pass that ordinance. It failed. No, I'm sorry. We proposed it and it did.

Yes, that failed because what that was was the city subsidizing uh people's rooftop solar with direct payments from from the city. In other words, using tax dollars to offset the cost of solar for some people. And solar doesn't need that. [laughter] Solar is financially uh viable on its own. And if you get rid of the penalties, you will see a wave of solar installations in Bowling Green. Uh that will immediately make our city more resilient and lower our electric costs paid for by private individuals. So, you won't be using other people's tax monies to subsidize my solar panels because you don't need to. I don't want that kind of a subsidy. I don't need that kind of a subsidy. All I need is stop penalizing solar energy.

Have you Have you taken this to the city attorney yet? No. No, I have not. Okay. Well, um I'm not an attorney. Uh, and I have a number of questions that I would have to have answered. So, the thought of us passing this tonight with an emergency clause is highly unlikely. Darn. Okay. But, uh, you've brought up some questions and and I will look into those comments. Thank you. Thanks. Any other lobby visitations?

Yes. Mary Hkelman. Barry Hinkleman, executive director of Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce and Visit BG Ohio, address 217 South Church Street. I am here today um I have put before each of council um our annual report for visit BG Ohio to give you an idea of what we accomplished in 2025. Um, I do have an impact statement I'd like to read really quickly. Um, in 2025, Visit BG Ohio made strategic investments to strengthen tourism, generate economic impact, and elevate Bowling Green's visibility across the region and the state. Through just over $16,000 in targeted grants, VISBG supported high impact events that drove overnight stays and visitor spending, including the national tractor pulling championships um and large multi-state athletic tournaments such as the soccer challenge. Visit BG also invested almost $59,000 in sponsorships supporting community festivals, youth and collegiate sporting events, downtown beautifification and lighting projects, cultural celebrations, holiday events, museum programming, and familyfriendly experiences. These sponsorships enhance quality of life for residents while attracting regional vis visitors and encouraging extended stays. In addition, almost $97,000 was um in marketing expanded Bowling Green's reach throughout statewide

travel publications, digital advertising, website enhancements, and social media growth. Recognition of the Ruby Awards for the BG 4x4 Fest further affirms Bowling Green is delivering high quality, high impact visitor experiences. Visit BG continues to position Bowling Green as a vibrant destination to visit, live, work, and invest in. Thank you for your time. Thank you very much. Do we have any others? That concludes LPY visitors.

That brings us to the introduction of new legislation, of which we have none. So, official reports, Mr. Mayor. Thank you, Mr. President. Um, good evening, council. Just two quick items. Um, while Mary's still here, I want to um express my appreciation for all the work that Mary and all those associated with Visit BG um do throughout the course of a year to promote Bowling Green. I think that if you were to read through the report, um the success of that organization and the positive impact that they have is evident. So, um I'm grateful for all the good work that they do throughout the course of the year. Thank you, Mary. Um, also just a quick shout out to all those responsible for presenting Winterfest this past weekend. I think it was six years since the last Winterfest uh festival was presented here in Bowling Green. A new approach this year. Um, by all accounts, it was very successful. Um, so I wanted to uh just again express my appreciation for all the volunteers and the staff that were involved in organizing and presenting uh that event. I think that um as has been proven on many occasions, the people of Bowling Green really do appreciate their festivals and I think that it doesn't so much matter what season we're talking about. Winterfest proves that. Um so again, appreciate all the good work for those involved in presenting this event. It's all I have subject to any questions that you may have.

Does anyone have any questions for the mayor this evening? All right. Thank you. I see Miss Treader isn't here. there is somebody willing to speak on behalf of Miss Treader. I [snorts] am willing to speak on behalf of her, but that is um to introduce um Heather Sailor, our planning director. Um Heather is here here this evening to provide um a report on some of the activities of their department. So, I will turn it over to Heather. Good evening. I do have a copy of the report to hand out to you and if you want to recycle it afterwards and give it back to me, I would appreciate that to share it with our other boards and commissions that I also review this with you guys.

So, we're going to do a quick review um of 2025 similar to what Mary handed out. Um, I'm not going to go through every highlight here of the report, but again, I think it's of the benefit to of the newer members too to learn a little more about the planning department and the activities we do. Um, so as far as some 2025 highlights, zoning permits decreased approximately 5.9% between 2024 and 2025. Um, however, the new dwelling units built increased from over 10%. Um, we also had planning commission that did a little less work unfortunately um due to requests in 2025 compared to 2024, but the zoning board of appeals did the same amount of work. So we had exactly 35 requests compared to 35 in 2024. Um, as far as zoning permits, uh, we had the most permits issued under the R1 lowdensity residential zoning and for whatever reason fences are also our top category. It seems to be our top category permits almost every year. Um,

good fences make good neighbors.

I've heard that before, Mark, but I'll let you handle that motto. [clears throat] Um, as far as the type of permits, we give you example of institutional. We did have, of course, the Bowling Green High School project start and that permit issued this year along with pickle ball courts. Um, IC Interstate Commerce. We had a permit issued for Speedway, which started new construction of their facility on East Worster. Um, as far as an example of commercial permit for new construction, we actually had an addition to Midcount Ambulance. Um, i.e. Innovation Employment. We had new construction, the Town and Country Animal Healthcare on South Dunbridge Road. And as far as a highlight of permits, again, I already mentioned fences being our top permit um that's applied for. We also had new construction as the second top um permit that we assigned. And then um the third one is sign permits. So, we had almost 52 of or we had 52 of those in 2025. I also give you a copy or a list of all the new housing permits that were issued, 53 permits in 2025, and we show you a map of those um different locations around the city where new houses were built. We also like to highlight for you a 10-year comparison of permits, um new dwelling units by year. So, we've had the top year in 2025 of new house permits compared to the past 10 years. Uh, total permits by year, we have had our top year in 2021, the past 10 years at 436. Uh, this year again, we were down a bit at 365. Our office also helps issue downtown permits. So, the A-frame signs, outdoor dining, and outdoor merchandise. So, I give you a summary of those permits that we helped issue along with the parkletits. Um, we also highlighted activities of zoning code enforcement. Um, one of I think one of the interesting changes we had this year is we had a lot of complaints about fences not being maintained. So that we had a lot of cases with those. Um, we actually issued some citations on that, but um,

we think it made some progress again with um, our new zoning code and having fence maintenance be a priority. Um, we gave you some pictures of some cases before and after that we handled. Um, again, as I mentioned, a lot of fences and um, we've also been handling parking lot issues and maintenance with of those. You know, for example, potholes, we can handle that with a new code. Um, rental registration inspections, as you're all aware, this is a program that keeps us very busy every year. And um so at the end of 2025, we actually had 7,216 uh rental units registered and we had 7,181 inspections submitted. And again, that was at the end of 2025. Right now, we're actually um owed six inspections that Chase has been working to get those. And the hard part is is that sometimes things just happen. for example, we did have an owner find out pass away and you know we're dealing with their son who didn't know about this program. So I mean there's always going to be something that happens and um our senior planner has worked really hard to get a good relationship with um the landlords and and inspections and working with them. So it's worked really well so far this year. Um we also gave you copies of um some pictures of improvements from the program. um again gave you a summary of planning commission actions, zoning board of appeals actions, a summary of the historic preservation commission actions, which I think you're already aware of most of those. Uh their three-year strategic plan, I gave you a copy of that. As you can see, they've did a lot of activities the past few years and actually adopted a new three-year strategic plan in uh 2026 that can be viewed on the website. Um our department also sends new resident newsletters. I don't know if many people know about this, but when we watch the transfers, we see if there are some new owners that uh we will send these

welcome home packages to, and they're really appreciated since we have a lot of great things that happen in Bowling Green that a lot of people don't know about, especially when you're a new resident to the community. Our office also assigns new addresses. May not be very exciting to know that, but it's very important that addresses are assigned and visible on structures. So, we make sure that happens. We also work with the health department uh with our contract that we hold with the health department that we've had since 1973. And we give you a summary of those complaints from 2025. We had 64 complaints and 50 of those so far have been resolved. And we give you a lot of um information on before and after pictures. I think that's always kind of where you know where you can see the actual implementation of the code happen. And um the before and after pictures are really critical to see all the work that's been done the past year. Um painting, new porches, new roofs, new windows. Um again, you'll you'll see that. Um as far as um miscellaneous department activities, you know, things that we do, we work with the Census Bureau every year to report our boundary changes, which is really important when we go to do our next count for the census that those are correct. Um, we also watch national planning trends and challenges that may impact us um, in future years, which I gave you a source to that article to look over. And then of course, we track all of the plan implementation goals from the community action plan and the future land use plan. And that is the bulk of the end of the um, report to show you the implementation that's happened with the plan, which is, you know, the best part, right? You have all this planning and then you go to implement and that's important. So, as far as 2026 and looking ahead, we um are still working on our access management policies and guidelines, subdivision regulations have um you know, the update has started and we'll continue to update on that once it makes some additional progress. Um we're also working with our GIS department to get all of our permits digital and our applications and that likely will be

happening in the next month or less. We are very close and that will be a big change for our community, but again, we're trying to make everything digital. will have a public kiosk in our office and we understand that everybody comes from a different starting point when it comes to permits. So when someone comes in our office, we will have um someone to assist them and get that started. So we're very excited about that and also being able to take credit cards, which I know might not sound too exciting, but in this day and age, it's really important to accept credit cards. Um we're also going to be releasing information about the downtown facade enhancement grant soon. We're hoping by early April. We're really excited about that. Um, we also are excited about celebrating National Preservation Month with our Historic Preservation Commission. We also are going to be offering a historic plaque program. So, if someone has their house locally registered on our um register or for example, North Maple Street, if you have a house on their designated, you'll be able to apply for a plaque and we will split those 50/50 with the owner. And the health department will also be starting their five-year exterior housing survey this year, which again, they do it every five years. And then we use that information to um again just evaluate how the housing condition is on rental property or not rental I'm sorry residential properties that are one and two family dwellings. So we will present that information to you or the health department will once we get that compiled. It does take several months to look at all of the structures in the city that are residential and we'll be excited to set up that presentation for you all um probably to closer to the end of the year. Again it takes a lot of time to get that together. So, I know it's a lot of information, but if you have any questions, let me know. And um again, any questions at all, let me know. And the report, if you have any questions, we will have this on our website, too, to review. All right. Thank you very much. Does anyone have any questions for Heather this evening? No. Anyone have any questions for Amanda this evening? Okay. Is that it, Amanda, or do you have

something else? That is it for me. Thank you, Mark. Okay. All right. That brings us to public infrastructure director, Mr. O'Connell.

Good evening. Um, last week Jim O'Neal and I were in uh DC to meet with uh federal legislators. Uh this was part of the American Public Power Association's legislative rally, and we go there every year uh as part of the APA group. Um it's a nationwide um uh gathering of public power communities. to go to DC, try to meet with our elected officials there, uh, talk about, you know, public power u, things that things are important to us at the federal level. Um, so we were able to meet with Representative LA and Senators Houston and Mareno. Uh, most of the messaging was talking about the uh, increase in capacity prices and transmission prices that we pay at the at the local level here. Um, things that are passed down to us from outside sources uh, that affect our costs. Um, we also talked a little bit about, you know, increasing uh data center loads and the impact that's going to have on potentially have on the grid. Um, and trying to prevent that from having uh cost impacts to us and to our customers. Um, another topic we talked about was permitting reform. Um, it takes a very long time to get like for example some hydro projects we're part of through AMP. Um the permits are are they're 40 years and there's one project that's being um trying to get renewed now for about eight years or more now and that takes a very long time to get uh existing generation sites repermitted and that's it's a um a lengthy process and that costs a lot of money to have you know go go through that process. So that was some things we talked about with them. Um also with related to aa um the electric division did receive a safety award. We did receive it at the the diamond level. So this is the highest level you can receive for safety. Um again this is this is measuring our work hours and safety practices. Um it's a benchmark that we try to utilize uh for our electric division. You may be familiar with we've talked before about the RP3 reliable public power provider award um excellence and reliability awards to get through the APA. So we just got this

last week. Uh we were notified that we received the the safety award at the diamond level for electric division. So, um, that was good to see. Um, that's all I have for you unless you have questions. Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Okonnell this evening? All right. Thank you very much. That brings us to council committee reports. Any council committee reports this evening, Mr. President?

Mr. Herald just wanted to report uh that the sustainability committee did meet on Monday, February 23rd and finished setting up committee 2026 goals and I sent out a summary of that to each of you. Any other council committee reports? Mr. President, Miss Elliot, the Planning, Zoning, and Economic Development Committee held the required public hearing on ordinances 9340 and 9341 at 6:30 this evening. Okay. Anything else? Mr. President, Mr. Dennis,

we have a transportation and safety committee meeting scheduled for April 6th at 6:15 for the purpose of reviewing our 2026 goals and appointing a representative sidewalk commission as required by ordinance. Okay. Any other committee reports this evening? Okay. Hearing no more, uh, that brings us to the reading of legislation. Michelle,

we have no legislation for first reading. Legislation for second reading. We have resolution 3900, resolution honoring Rachel Fipps, member of the city council of the city of Bowling Green, Ohio. We have resolution 3901 for second reading, resolution honoring Greg Robinette, member of the Council of the City of Bowling Green, Ohio. And we have ordinance 9344 for second reading. Ordinance vacating a portion of Coleman Avenue and reserving a utility easement in the city of Bowling Green. We have no legislation for third reading. We do have three ordinances that are being removed from the table tonight. We have ordinance 9339, ordinance amending and adopting changes to the sections of 38.02, 38.99, and 70.41 of the codified ordinances of the city of Bowling Green, Ohio regarding classification of civil offenses, civil fines, and storage of recreational vehicles at residences.

Mr. President. Miss Elliot. I move to amend ordinance 9339 by substitution. Second. Properly moved and seconded. Discussion. Mr. President. Go ahead. After this ordinance was introduced, we realized there was some wording regarding the civil fine table that needed to be corrected. So, we've done that. We've also made changes to increase the civil fines and change the allowable number of days for RV storage in front yard driveways to 14 days from 10 days. [clears throat]

Okay. Are there uh any other changes? Any discussion? Uh, hearing none. Do I have a motion to amend? I think she made it and it was seconded. All right. In that case, Michelle. K. Dennis, yes. Elliot, yes. Harold, yes. Holland, yes. Musgrave, yes. Jay Dennis, yes. Okay. Ordinance 9339 is amended. Mr. President,

Miss Elliott, I move to adopt ordinance 9339 as amended by substitution. Second. Properly moved and seconded. Any discussion? Michelle. Elliot. Yes. Harold. Yes. Holland. Yes. Musgrave. Yes. Jay Dennis. Yes. K. Dennis. Yes. Okay. Ordinance 9339 is adopted as amended by substitution. And Michelle, these other two, they already received their third reading before tabled, so you don't need to read them again. Oh, okay. You just need to tell us when they're coming off.

Okay. So, I have ordinance 9339 coming off the table tonight. Well, we just did that one. Oh, there. I'm sorry. 9340. Correct. Mr. President, Miss Elliott, I move to adopt ordinance 9340. Second. Properly moved and seconded. Is there discussion? Okay. Michelle. Harold? Yes. Holland? Yes. Musgrave? Yes. Jay Dennis? Yes. K. Dennis? Yes. Elliot? Yes. Okay. Ordinance 9340 is adopted. Okay.
