I. All those opposed? There are none. Moving on to the regular agenda. Uh number one, public comments. There are none. We got a nice little crowd. Public comments. Oh, we got Tim.

U Council Mayor Pro Tim. Appreciate your time this this evening. I just wanted to do a couple things. Number one, I wanted to introduce you to our newest corporal uh that we promoted about a month ago, Corporal Katie Campa. She's been with our department for about a year. She comes to us from she was at Gray County and then you were at Dev Smith and Carson County. Uh number that's the first thing I wanted to do is introduce you all to our newest corporal. Uh secondly, I wanted to show you our new uniforms. As you guys are aware, these as the council was very generous a few meetings back and allowed us to purchase the new outer carrier. So, all of our outer carriers are in and this is going to be our new uniform. Uh what I will tell you is they are very functional. I've I've spoken to some officers already had some conversations about how how they feel. Does does the uniform fit better? Are we feeling better? And I've already had some officers that told me that their backs feel better and their hips feel better because as you can tell, we're not putting everything on the vest, but we were able to remove some things off of the vest. Some of our bigger, bulkier items, our taser, our radios, tourniquets. Uh, and so we're kind of fine-tuning what our uniform is going to look like as far as what we wear on it. But I did want you to know, you're going to see our officers out there. I thought it was important that you all and our citizens know what our officers are are wearing now. So, uh, want to just say thank you for for allowing us to be able to go forward with the outer carriers and I want to say thank you to the city manager who was able to help us find some funding on that.

Awesome. Congratulations. They look great. Yeah, they look good. Nice and cool for the summer coming. So, exactly. Take it off here in case you get in the water or something. So, it doesn't weigh you down. So, you just take it off. Oh, nice. Yeah. Okay. Like that. Awesome. Um, with all of you here, if anyone would like to speak, I mean, besides Boyd, we'll let you. I know. I know. I'm You're so skinny I can't even.

They could hardly see.

Good evening. I'm not very good in speaking because I can't give up I'm not going to look back. Uh I know tonight the uh on the razors and golf carts are coming up for discussions and gentlemen I would really appreciate y'all's vote for them. I went out and got mine legalized that I thought at that time was legal. I went and got inspection my tags on them, blinkers on them, everything. have spent the money to get everything done. I keep insurance on them. Abide by all the laws that deal. I know you can't ride down any highways. You can cross them, but you can't ride down them. Uh I just would like y'all to consider uh letting us continue to ride these ride our machines and do it lawfully and uh in a respectful manner. And uh we have to go to the I understand we may have to go over to the the art police department to get them looked at by the police department. Man, I'm 100% okay with that. I mean, mine I keep mine in good shape and uh we want to just want to ask y'all for y'all's vote tonight and really considered for us and the golf carts. Thank you.

Anyone else? Okay. I do have I do I do have a couple things for one just to keep youall on the loop. Um this last week I met with

engineers for a good part of the last week. Um the landfill, you know, we were talking about that everything. She came out to an on-site visit, spent many hours out there. Um gave us a good idea of how much time we she thinks we have left in the current landfield in the current state. it's in um but she wants to get back and do her math engineering stuff and before she has more definite answer and kind of in her scope of work what she's going to do is kind of give us a long range plan on what we need to do um whether it's going to be more cost feasible for us to extend the land landfill purchase more land where we can open up more sales if we can uh on the current feast or if we just need to start utilizing the transfer station itself and trucking everything out. Um TCQ over the past few years has gotten very very stringent when it comes to landfills. We are one of the only few towns that have their own landfill. Um but she's going to work on that in the next uh probably couple months. But also when speaking to her, I spoke to some other people within her um engineering firm. Uh we did submit a application to the clean water drinking revolving fund. Um it's no obligation at this time. It's a long drawn out process and we kind of shot for the moon there uh to see what we could possibly get funded for. We went ahead and and if we are funded, let me just say this, we are funded, we can amend to what we're funded for to meet our needs and our budget, of course, but we went ahead and shot for the moon, a new wastewater

plant, um about 40,000 ft of water line, meter replacement throughout the city, just just to see an overall cost of what the actual needs of Dowart are when it comes to waste water and water infrastructure and um we're working on some streets. Um they're probably going to come out after we seal coat this year. We're looking we're looking at a couple streets longer straighter runs this year to kind of keep it simple before they come in and do a complete street survey throughout the whole town. And what that consists of, they will go through every street and they will take start taking core samples out of different parts of the streets around town and again give us a long range view of you know in the next 5 years that's not going to be just a chip seal that's going to be a complete rehab and kind of give us a so we can prepare our budgets later on down the line. So that's all I got. Sorry on

the on the don't back to collecting cardboard. Yes. So, yes. You got one that's full. No, I'm just Yeah. Um, the prison will started taking it back again. Yeah. Okay. It's it about a month ago, right? Somewhere in there. It hasn't been a long time. The very backed up. So, and we're trying to get the other There's two bailors out there. One of them works really well. One of them not so well. We're trying to get some parts for the old BOR so we can have two go in at once. So pretty much all that southside that we put the transfer station on we can't touch anymore. Correct. Like that's correct.

Okay. That Well, she is going to because of water runoff, right? Yes. She's going to Okay. That's a big part of her presentation. Okay. I know JJ, there was a when I left in that landfield there was um in the middle where James had permitted to go 20 foot high and it should be like a little dome. Mhm. There is some spots in there that needed to be dug up and then put trash to get to that 20 foot. Yes, that looked at

and yeah, she's she's looked at all that and she's kind of gave us a list of what she thinks we need to really look at. Um, she does want us to possibly hire a surveyor to come out and really shoot some GPS topos and stuff like that. We cannot find any of that stuff. There were markers on there that there were markers. Okay. They're probably faded out. They were purple markers with feet, like the depth on each one. Show you how much you can go up and maybe or had to come down spot. You may have to come down. You got to make that. But yeah, they did that whole area and marked it. And the one that has those uh coordinates I would is u engineering

engineering do they yeah because they but anyway I just thought since you got another engineer looking at it if they and and if I can find those documents I'll most definitely shoot them off to to her. Yeah. So they're not redo that.

Yeah. All right. Item number two, discuss and or act upon ordinance 2026-01 on first reading an ordinance adding regulations to the city's code of ordinances regarding the use of golf carts on public streets concerning the registration operation required equipment and permitting golf carts. Yes, this is something that we've talked about before, but um and what I've done is since the last council uh council meeting that we talked about this, I split this into two different ordinances. The the one previous was golf carts slash um UTVs and this this one the first one is just golf carts. Um I'm just going to kind of go through what we what we're kind of thinking. Um, we're thinking of a it's going to have they're going to have to go to the police station and have these registered and there'll be a sticker and once a year they will have to go and register their golf cart and each year will be a different color sticker so we can tell and put the permit application name, address, driver's license number of the owner uh and applicant of it. the uh street address where the golf cart is going to be kept because it if it's a business it may be different than their home address and the business name. Year, make, model color, uh serial number, proof of insurance and liability coverage on that. the name of the city official who inspected it, an acknowledgement uh by the applicant of the golf cart uh that they have a driver's license, and whoever operates that golf cart will have a driver's license. Um and also number eight on the third page of this this ordinance um they will also sign an an

acknowledgement uh hold hold harmless uh agreement that the city is not liable in any way if something happens on that. itself and the requirements on the golf carts itself which are on page four. Two headlamps, two tail lamps, two side reflectors, parking brake, rearview mirror, turn signals, a slowmoving emblem, and um any equipment that uh is equable I can't talk, sorry to federal uh safety laws which do include seat belts. This is considered a motor vehicle because all four wheels touch the ground at one time and it is powered by a uh engine. So, but that's really all I got. We've kind of talked about this. You know, they can't ride on uh state highways or the sidewalks at any time. So, and it has to be used on a street under uh 35 miles an hour according to Texas state law, which I'll say Texas allows this, but a city has to pass an ordinance for it to be allowable. I'm open to any questions.

So, you you've been working with Brian on this? Yes.

Okay. So, I thought we had talked about the age limit. There is there we and we have talked in depth about that. There is some debate within the legal community. The state of Texas says you can drive a car at 16 with a driver with a valid license. This is considered a motor vehicle. There's some gray area about about that and whether it could be challenged at one time or not. So I with along with him made the suggestion we just leave it at 16 and go from there.

My question did you find out from any neighboring communities about trouble or accidents that they've had? Yes. Right. Yeah. We're supposed to right now. I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, go ahead.

Councilman Steel, this is Jay Steel from the police department. Uh I did call around. I spoke with the law enforcement agencies at Dumis Police Department and then I spoke with the border police department. Uh when I spoke to Dumis, Duma said that their biggest trouble that they have obviously is with the kids that are riding around that those are the folks that give them the biggest problems. It's not the individuals who are trying to do it correctly. Uh the people that go getting their their their vehicles registered, things like that. That's not the problem. they they obviously it's something that they enjoy doing and so they want to do it the right way. The biggest problem that they have is the the young uh or kids whose parents just kind of toss them the keys and say hey this is legal now take off in it or whatever or you know can I take it sure and that seems to be the biggest problem that they have. Uh when I spoke to Border Border does not have one according to the gentleman I spoke to does not have an ordinance on this but Fridge does. uh Frri the the officer that I spoke with lives in Fr. and his concerns were the same and I did not prompt him. I just asked him very openly what are what are some of the good things and some of the bad things. Uh and he said the same thing. The biggest problem that they have is is the kids. So that those are the answers that I got from the law enforcement officers that I spoke to. And I spoke to u the same cities that he did, but I talked to their administration staff and the Vernon City of Vernon administration staff because I was there when they passed theirs. And basically follows up with what Jay says. For the most part, 85% of the people do except what they're supposed to do, but they still have that small portion that doesn't follow the rules.

Were they happy that they passed those ordinances in those? I feel like they wanted to No, they none of the people I talked to said that they regretted it. Didn't feel the need to repeal it or anything like that. They said it's it's not that big of an issue. Now, they have had a couple of accidents which come along with this, but o overall it's been very happy for the most part with it.

And our fine will be $500 if if somebody's doing it illegally. Yes, sir. That's all we and by our ordinance and in our ordinance book, that's all we can go up to on uh this type of action violation. I guess that's my main thing is the the age limit that we've talked about over and over again, knowing that the responsible people will be responsible. It's the people that won't be responsible that we're going to have an issue with. And then it becomes an issue of law enforcement. Yeah. Not having enough officers to enforce that.

And I don't want to put more work on them, but I I will say I think if they go out and set the example a couple times and word gets around that Yes. I got popped for 500 bucks. Yeah. And so that's what I'll say to this is again I'm not I'm not so much worried about the folks Yeah. in the crowd here. Obviously they're they're

I mean I don't want to put words in their mouth. they're probably here to support it. Uh they're not who I'm really concerned about. It's it's people that are not concerned. My my concerns still remain the same. We we have two major highways that run through this town. And along with that, we also have a train that runs through this town. I've got two officers on at a time. If I'm lucky, I have two officers on. If I'm on day shift, I've got one. And so, uh that I'm concerned that we're going to spend a vast majority of our time in the summer chasing these vehicles around. And I'm talking about the UTVs. The golf courts, I can probably digest the golf carts better than I can the uh the UTVs. Golf carts. I understand people who have a difficult time getting in and out of vehicles. Want to get those people. I did speak when I spoke to Dumas. Dumas said, you know, we've got a lot of people that load their trash up in the golf carts. They drive it around in the alley. So, I can digest the golf carts. That's what we do. UTVs are what my biggest concern is is that come May, June and July and August, we're going to spend the majority of our time uh chasing UTVs around and chasing calls that dispatch sends us on to to the UTBs. Uh and then amongst that the vast array of other calls as you guys are well aware of that come with the summertime. Uh but what what I will say is if if you do pass this, I I have instructed my officers and I'll instruct them again and the chief will I think I speak for the chief when I say this, we are going to instruct our officers to enforce this rigorously and and we're we're going to write citation. It's inevitable. It's like anything else, right? We're going to write citations, but we are if we pass it, we we're going to enforce it to the full extent of which you got your expectation is and probably several other citizens. But again, again, my concern is two officers on during one officer on during the

I've talked to people say that they ride around in their side by sides and pass police officers and never get stopped or checked. Okay? you know, and their, you know, their main concern was the hot rod motor cars that are running around town that you just hear screaming all the time and the hot rod motorcycles.

So, what I'll say to that is I was riding around with Coral Campa the other night. Um, while we were sitting in the car, we got a reckless driver call. Uh, and so we were out out on 54 West coming into town. So, we were sitting on that. As we were clearing that call, we got another reckless driver called. So, again, not not to diminish what you're saying, two officers, and that's that's not near enough to cover our city, right?

Uh but, you know, and I had one officer that had she she'd gotten bit by a dog. So, she's at the ER. So, Corporal Campell and I were the only people out covering the city at that point along with things getting cleaned up. Uh so, I but I know just by the citations that I look at, I know my officers are out there. military working traffic, stopping cars. You going to get all of them? No. But I've got troops now that I know are out there. They're working. We're not just sitting around. And so that that's what I'll say to that.

And I just want to ask, are y'all y'all aware of the what we're looking at here? Right. Did y'all have y'all read this? Have you seen They haven't got anything on this yet. Okay. In a nutshell, that's it. That's That's what I It is what I just explained. Yeah. Yes. And right now, we're just talking about the golf carts, right? Right. Yeah. That's my You know, boy,

we guys were talking about the ATVs and stuff about people accelerating, doing stuff. Them kids are going to do that regardless whether you pass it or not. They're the law breakers. They're going to go out, ride them what you want. We're we as citizens, we just want to be able to do it and do it legally. We want to do it and do it right. Just like our car, anything else, you know, we want to do it right. Can you stop all of it? No. You can't stop them.

ATDs running around the little push carts right there, the motorcycles. You can't be everywhere. Everything else, we just want us that have the ATDs just want to be able to do it legally in the right way. Um, and if if and I I'm 100% I go to Red River, you break the law in Red River twice, they'll they'll seize your machine second time. They don't play with you. You know, you you obey their laws. If you speed, they're going to give you a hum $500 and probably pretty good. Get get somebody's attention real fast. But I know in the second time in Red River, if you excessive with speed and they catch you again, they will literally seize your vehicle until you leave. You don't get it and then you won't be able to ride your vehicle when you come in. You have to have your sticker on there and then it has a number on it. You guys are going to put stickers on them

which going to have I'm assuming going to have a number on it.

You can identify where it goes, what it does. So somebody's somebody say I have to let one of my grandsons get in it. and he goes hauling rear out. Guess who's going to get the fine? Ain't gonna be him. It's going to be you going to come see me. And guess what? I ain't paying you $500. You ain't going to get fine. So, I'm just asking. Yes, I understand all your concerns. U but when we started doing this back when we thought it was legal, uh they're riding them around anyway. They're still riding. and you're not you you're going to do your best that you possibly can, but you go and you ain't gonna stop them. I just want to do it legally. I think that's our main concern though is that we've had law enforcement come to us and say really don't want you guys to pass this. You know, you're going to be adding on to our plate which we don't have the officers to give them to enforce it. So, I think that's one of our biggest issues is we've had them come and say, "Please don't." It'd be like if we had Mario, the chief of fire, come in here and say, "If y'all pass this, it's going to cause fires and we know what's going to happen, and it's going to be a little more than we can handle, but if y'all pass it, this is what's going to happen."

It's the same thing with the the police officers, the law enforcement coming and telling us, "Hey, this is this is not good, but if y'all pass it, we'll handle it, but there's going to be issues." Yeah. We just we'll do it like the same. We'll do the people. That's the thing is we know you guys we know you guys are awesome and you're going to do you're law-abiding citizens, right? That's what you do. It's not the problem. And they done it before they ride. When I lived on the north side, it was nothing to hear big ATVs or not ATVs, four-wheelers and stuff running around, motorcycles, you know, dirt bikes,

you know, and here you see the officers that come flying by and try to catch them. And no offense to them, you're not going to catch those machines. Just not. So, I'm just saying people doing it, it it with us going out here doing it the legal way, that's not going to put a burden on it. No, it's going to be all the ones that won't. That's the problem. Well, when they drop out, you got that situation anyway. They know they're this is not the guy they're going to need to deal with. They drop off and see this other guy. They know what he's going to do,

right? And I mean, you've got several council members with golf carts and UTVs. I mean, we do the same. I mean, we love it just as much as y'all do. Um, but it's just looking at it as a whole is what we're looking at. I think the golf cart deal is dandy, you know. Yeah.

I guess what bothers me is the off-roads being on the roads. Uh they're a lot faster and maneuverable. I mean, I just they belong off the road, not on the road. Any further discussion?

No, I Yeah, I just I've been waiting. I It's not that I don't have concern. Um, in fact, I'm split on this. I have I have concern. However, I realize all the people I'm concerned about are doing this anyway. And so, I'm over 50% for freedom for law-abiding citizens. So, although anyway, if you'd entertain a motion, I feel good. Yeah, I think we all feel the same way. I think it's just I feel like we need to be able to provide for law enforcement if we have to go back budget-wise and see adding more officers. What's uh I think that's what we have to do. What's the permit going to cost? 50 bucks.

I think get a permit to pay for another officer. I mean, no, there's no way. Yeah, we're getting enough fines, though. Yeah.

Whereas, here's the unknown. The unknown is once it once it becomes legal, like we talked about last time, like in states that pot's legal, all of a sudden they can monitor it. Once it becomes legal and you get a handful, half a dozen of these $500 fines out, um it's I I'd be surprised if the kids keep doing what they're doing when they find out their friends are having to pay $500 or getting an impounded getting their dad's golf cart impounded over it. Um and then they're not going to be able to run away like the like the speed cars and the race bikes. What happens on the second offense? It gets impounded. We haven't we have that. We can put it in the ordinance. Yeah,

we can put that in the ordinance. Yeah, we can put whatever we want in the ordinance. You can make this ordinance an ordinance of state law or it can go above state law. It just you cannot go below state law, right? We can put as many teeth as we want in this. Can you can you suspend a license? I don't know about that. No, that's that's a that's a him question. I don't know the answer to that. Um I think that that's suspicion license. You want go ahead. Can you suspend their license after the second? I wouldn't think you could. I think that's going to be a judgment from the judge.

That would just have to be more like they don't pay the fine then goes to a warrant then the warrant doesn't get paid. Same thing with a C. You just have to go through the process to finally suspend the license. That's what I would assume. Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Yeah. I just I don't like kids that don't obey the law dictating freedoms for lawabiders. Yeah. Would you entertain a motion? Uh we'll entertain a motion. Okay. I move for the golf carts.

For golf carts. We'll start with golf carts. I move that we pass a golf cart ordinance so long as we add a impounded vehicle. uh or the first reading. Yeah. If we add verbiage that there's um impounded vehicle after the second offense. Second. Got a motion and a second. All those in favor? I opposed. One.

And is the UTV when written the same way? Yeah, we'll get there in a second. Okay. Yes. Do we need to go by? Do we need to go by hand or by person? Are we good with that? No. Okay. Just make sure he's just making ourselves some. That's fine. Fast enough.

Okay. I can't scroll fast enough. We're good. All right. Moving on to agenda. Agenda item number three. Discuss and act upon ordinance 2026-02 on first reading an ordinance adding regulations to the city's code of ordinances regarding offhighway vehicles on public streets concerning the registration operation required equipment and permitting off highway vehicles. you know, this one is it's pretty similar to uh the golf cart ordinance. There are some other things that um these off UTVs have different regulations, especially when it comes to mufflers and exhaust, but those are state laws, you know, u section 38-22 on page five really goes into that. Um they have to have some type of exhaust system on there. They can't be just straight pipes that are loud. They have to be secure. Um, you know, honestly, it's almost the same. They have the same requirements that the golf carts have. Um, you know, the tail lights, the the headlamps, you know, the side reflectors, parking brake, rearview mirror. Um, and it does require them to have a slowmoving vehicle sign on it also. And they have to follow all federal motor safety laws, which means seat belts and stuff like that. So, I'll be happy to go back through it or whatever y'all would like. It looks like to me if we have a law out there saying this is what you've got to do, isn't that easier to enforce than just not doing anything at all?

You see what I'm saying? No, I don't. Can you Okay. I mean, if we don't have anything out there, these guys are, you know, out there doing whatever they want to do when they want to do it, how they want to do it. We don't have any fines. We don't have anything. What's the What do you do about stopping them? I mean, what are you going to do? Obviously, right now, they're not legal in the city. So, we we work it just as an like it's against the law. We'd enforce it as it as it is, right? Looks like to me it'd be easier would it be easier to enforce with the laws that that we just kind of we just passed. I don't know that I necessarily agree with that just because there there is a we already have a law essentially saying the you cannot

you cannot do it period. So I think I think it'd be the same as it is at this exact I think the fine would be different as we would like 100 bucks or something like that now. Yeah is you're kind of making it now it's 500 bucks right and no confiscation. Yes.

Not necessarily could still we could still tow veh was saying something you want to talk about what you're saying when we impound some of these vehicles. Uh, so some of these sports cars that these kids drive, um, it's not that we don't stop them. Um, I know for me personally, if I've stopped a kid and I've already given them a ticket, I'm towing their car, especially if it's for speeding. Um, because they will come out and race on the highway. And um so I do a lot of is these tow companies as long as their parents or someone shows up with proof that that vehicle belongs to them, they will release it that night. So I will tow a car and then 10 minutes later it's back on the street.

So there's it's not really anything we can do as far as making sure that they're staying off the streets. You want us to buy tickets? We will do that all night long if that's if you want. But the issue is we cannot make sure that they stay off. There's no impound fee or nothing. There's an impound fee. I'm sure there is. Yeah. They make their own I think it's 250 per day. Um but as long as they go up there and some people will tell their car at two o'clock in the morning and they're meeting them up there car out. So we need to just put in there where they can't get it for five days.

I think I think Just a suggestion. I you know is you need your own tow truck.

Call city towing. I mean I think you're you're looking at the same thing that we did with the golf carts guys. I mean it's and I think most of y'all have the UTVs. Correct. Y'all aren't more of the golf carts. Y'all have more the UTVs now. said, "No, he can't hear you." You identify as a golf, you'll identify as a golf cart. Golf clubs on the back. Better be golf some passenger seat. It's a golf cart.

I got you. I mean, I know again I think everybody has the same hindrances, same feelings towards it. I don't know, Jason. I mean, do you have anything else to say?

I mean, from what my standpoint is, again, I think I've said all there's for our department to say anyways. Again, it's it's some spokes somewhere about and you know I I understand the appeal to I truly I understand the appeal to it but again my major concern is the UTVs obviously are more powerful. They go faster than the golf cart. The golf cart again I could digest that but some of you I know have have worked in public service before. You've been EMTs volunteer firefighters. I know we have some of them that when until you work a wreck like that, especially when these these doors and windows are open where where you've got a kid, I need to be grotesque that you're picking up. That's what my biggest concern is. I feel like I'm putting a lot more on my officers,

right? And that's why I wish we could do something with the age. The one the one thing about the UTVs is they're a lot safer. They with roll cages and doors and and and everything than the golf cart is. So

again, you know, I obviously I'm opposed to this for for a public safety reason. I'm not opposed to it uh for just to be a heartache on some of these folks. That's that's certainly not what it is. I'm opposed to it from a from a safety standpoint, from the kids standpoint. That's where my opposition from stems from. Uh and that that's that's I think that's where the police department stands. Again, I'm concerned that we have two officers on the night shift. Want to give us some more? I want four out of the city manager. Yeah, JJ didn't like whenever I say we need to do more on that one.

My point all all jokes aside, my point being is law enforcement standpoint, from a public safety standpoint, I have a lot of concerns. That's that's my piece of Right. So, I want y'all to know that we we do hear what you're saying. We really do.

I understand that. And I want to be very clear to the council is you you guys are the legislative body. Whatever you you and I, we will enforce it. So you you guys approve this, we'll do it. There won't be complaints about it. We'll we'll do it. Uh but I think the analogy of of Mario saying, "Hey, this will be a fire." That's a great analogy. Uh and so we will do whatever the council desires us to do, but we we are if it's passed, we're going to enforce it vigorously. Yeah. I think that needs if it if both of these do pass, I think that needs to be put out to the public also that they will be enforced vigorously and y'all will be towing and taking as many as you can until people understand. Can I add something to that?

Yes, sir. If these do pass, that does not mean tomorrow this Yeah, it's just the first reading. Pass it. So first they've got all ready to go probably

that was that was pointed towards Boyd. That was all to to you buddy. That was all to you. Drive it up. I know. Did somebody say out there? Just sitting out there waiting. Yeah. Did Boyd drive it tonight? Be quiet. all in the golf cart right now. We I think we need to put the same second or the confiscation on second offense.

Make that motion on ordinance 2026-2 with those stipulations. I'll second the first reading. I have a motion and a second. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed I motion passed.

Make a motion we second motion in a second. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed. There are none. We are there.
