the May 6th uh 2026 Decar County Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. Uh first item is the approval of the April 1st, 2026 meeting minutes. Those have been mailed out to the members of the board. Uh any additions, corrections, or errors noted with those? Okay. All good. Hearing none, uh, I will look for a motion to approve those minutes. Motion to approve the April minutes. A second. I'll second, please.
All right, those are approved as they were mailed out. We have two petitions this evening. The first one is BZA 2026-6. Chad Mazak, I hope I get that right, uh, is requesting a special exception as provided in Decar County Board, uh, Decator County Zoning Ordinance Section 9258 to build a mother-in-law quarter. Uh, the property is owned by Chad Mazak and is located at 6916 North County Road 400 East Greensburg in Fugit Township. Uh, Chad, I believe you are here. If you don't mind, go ahead and come on up and tell us what you're looking to have done. Yeah, thank you. Um, I'm looking, my mother and father-in-law live with me at this property and my family, and we're looking to build a detached on the back of the property, a one bed, one bath mother-in-law unit essentially.
Okay.
Um, and then, uh, it will tie into your existing septic system, I assume. No, we did get preliminary approval for a new septic system, second system. I think yeah this this uh the property is 15 acres and this is 500 ft from the main house. Sure. I think a separate part of the property and probably will tie into the main property as well though. Sure. One note on that poll on the application that was sent to me it was noted that it was section number 95-8. That's everything that was sent out. Okay.
Okay. Okay. And then what are you doing for a driveway as far I mean there's actually uh where we're building it. Yes. Is near where a old barn used to be and there's a concrete uh it was cattle paddock and there's a concrete drive kind of going back already. Okay. And then I did actually speak with one of my neighbors. Uh he has a neighboring one of my neighboring property has a lane, a farm lane that he uses to get back to a field. I already spoke with him to see if we could potentially use that. Otherwise, we'll put gravel off of our main driveway for about 20 ft to connect to that concrete lane and and I've got Yeah, I was I I thought I could see a a driveway or line drive. Yep.
So, you don't necessarily need a new one. No, we don't. We're building right next to where cattle operations used to take. So, there's already gravel and and concrete almost the whole way. Gotcha.
Any other questions from board members? If there's no questions for the board members, I'll open it up uh to anyone in the in the room that would like to ask a question uh regarding Mr. Mazak's uh special exception request. Okay, pretty straightforward. There are no other questions. I'll look for a motion uh that we vote on the request 2026-6.
I move that we vote on BCA 2026.
I'll second. number. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Mr. MAC, thanks for following the the process here. Uh just just stay in touch with the folks in the office through your building permitting uh process and they'll they'll come out and give you visits during during your inspections and move it along.
Thanks a lot. Thank you. Thank you. The second final petition tonight is BCA 2026-7. William Brewer is requesting a variance as provided in Decar County zoning ordinance section 945 to reduce the north and east property line setbacks from 30 feet to 7 ft. The property is owned by Westport Area Business Association and is located at 219 East Maine in Westport Sand Creek Township. Are you Mr. Brewer? Thank you for coming. Mr. Brewer, tell us what uh what you got going on. Well, it's just I'm sorry.
I am actually on the Westport Area Business Association, so I'm going to recuse myself from this because it probably is a little bit of a conflict of interest. Yeah. Very good. Mr. Brunai is going to I'm going to step out. Recuse. Thank you. I was mainly wanting to buy it for parking lot, but just in case you never know what could happen that I don't know if you guys know what the Hampton's auto parts used to be. Yes. Just in case. You never know. my building burns down or something and I had to build a new I mean at least I could be able to build that back to where Hampton's used to be. Okay. Is that is that the lot right there? Yeah. Okay. I'm not familiar with that. That was a building that that did burn down or would No, they they tore it down. The business association bought it and tore it down. Gotcha. Okay.
And so but but if you take the 20 ft on the lot is pretty much worthless. You couldn't build on it nowhere. Sure. Because I think it's 40 on the front maybe. Maybe not even that much. So, I just I don't plan on building on it right now and probably never will, but So, your your uh your home or residence is where at from here, sir?
My house, my business is right next to I see. Okay. So, you're right to the west of it there. I I follow you now. I got you. We do have parking problems sometimes and the town's getting they're acting like they're wanting to put two-hour parking on all the street parking and the public parking lot and then that leaves no place for my employees to park. So I see I see those are those lots are challenging to because the old rail came through there. I know that that's uh I know that those they're not actually square uh square parcel lines there. Mr. came in basically came
sure sure I mean we have there's other existing situations those existing those existing buildings along that basically yeah as a side note because I I I know that there's sensitivity about other requests and setbacks And the these need to be looked at a bit differently when when these are town lots and we're talking about parcel sizes in feet versus uh I'm sorry in square feet versus acre parcels that uh certainly uh setback distances are are viewed differently than what uh what they are when you've got a and there shouldn't be any problem with emergency vehicles or anything like that.
And again the first step you just want to put it into a parking lot. Is that right? Yeah, but they they left the the foundation. So, at some point, I'm gonna probably have to tear out that old They left the slab and it it looks bad. Yeah. If if he did want to build there, would he have to come back in for another variance request or would that Gotcha. Okay. So, so it would be a permanent variance then. Is that correct? So, does it
does it stay with the parcel then or with the with him or Mhm.
Yeah. Sure.
Questions from the board questions or comments from anyone in the audience regarding if if you don't mind. Hey, come on up. Uh thank you, Mr. Brewer. If you allow him to speak here, if you don't mind, sir, come on up and state your name. That way, we can capture that in the minutes here. My name is Don Black. Okay. My sister and I own that house right directly behind that lot. Okay. Was So you want to come seven feet from the property from there? The house right behind you? They're on the corner. We're on the We're on the corner. That would still be 10 ft, right? I don't know. I say our paper said was in
See, our paper said was seven feet of the property line. I wouldn't want your property or 15 or 10. I can't remember. Well, we wouldn't want to being up close that close to our other house. You know, seven understand the north and east is what the variance is. See, our letter said we're looking more at Main Street and we would want I just didn't want you to get seven feet back to that house, you know. Sure. Going backwards. N to the south. Yep. So, this what is it? Well, be all right.
I wouldn't want to know. I mean, yeah. Okay. Most like nothing. Well, that's that's only my main concern. I didn't want seven feet right on top of us, you know. Sure. That's seven feet not big. That's legit. I wouldn't want it either. I would be totally all right leaving that one. All right. Plus was just for the north north and east. Trevor Moore Diane, but it'd be a lot better if he get made driveway because it's big cement slab area. It got metal sticking up in it. He tear it out. It's a pleasant town. Sure. Sure. Y absolutely.
Very good. Thank you. any any other any other comments regarding the north and east variance. Uh if uh if there are no further comments, I'll look for a motion that we vote on 2026-7. Make a motion to vote on BZA 2026-7.

That's a question for I don't see I bet is that supposed to be 20 2026 not who signed it. That was 2016 be Mark Morris. I bet that's I bet that's 2026 is what that's supposed to be.
Good catch. Any other questions from the board? Hearing none, I'll open the floor to any public comments or concerns. Anything else from the board?
Hearing nothing. I'll look for a motion to vote.

Thanks. Third petition 2026-9 Rob and Rachel Merrick is petitioning to reszone 2.99 acres out of 6.87 acres and reszone from A1 zoning classification to an A2 zoning classification to build a single family detached. This request falls under Decar County ordinance section number 915 and 9277. property is owned by the petitioners and is located across from 4952 South County Greensburg in Marian Township. Just
tell us what you're doing. looking to reszone 2.99 acres to build a single family dwelling and driveway will come out on 500. Is that is that right? Right. Let's pack members have any questions?
Hearing nothing. I'll open the floor to anyone in the public with comments or questions.
State your name start.
Sure. My name is Katie Sprecklesen. Um I am not in favor of the reszoning of this property. Having never spoken at a public hearing, I'm new to the process and the protocol. So, I did what anybody else would do and I Googled my topic. Decar County has a comprehensive plan that guides our elected officials to make knowledgeable and hard decisions about the county's long range development and preservation goals. I looked up this comprehensive plan and did not have to go too far because it was all right there in the Decar County vision statement. The guidelines needed for the resoning decisionmaking is right there in that vision statement and it reads as follows. Decar County is a strong agricultural community that provides a rural way of life set between Indianapolis and Cincinnati. Throughout the county, there are valuable natural, agricultural, educational, recreational, social, and economic resources. These resources provide residents and businesses with an enhanced quality of life and provide opportunities for all ages. Preserving these resources and strengthening the connections between them is the foundation for maintaining and enhancing quality of life and economic opportunity. Agriculture remains an integral part of the Decar County economy. manufacturing and the entire chain of services associated with it also play a large role. Small businesses located in Greensburg and in each of the small towns are flourishing and provide a unique market of goods and services for residents and tourists alike. More residents live and work in Decar County because of the thriving business
climate. And here we go. In 2035, agriculture will still be prevalent because the productive agricultural lands, both large and small, will have been preserved by directing new growth in areas adjacent to already developed clusters or the existing communities of Greensburg, Lake Santi, Milhausen, New Point, St. Paul and Westport. What else is there to say? You have 6.87 acres of prime productive farm ground in front of you. They're asking that 2.99 acres of that productive prime farm ground be reszoned to have a house built on it, therefore making it nonproductive. Have any of you been out there to the location of this property? These 6.87 acres of prime agricultural land in Decar County literally sit in the middle of some of Decar County's finest resource, farm ground. There's lots of farm ground on all sides. This proposed reszoned area is not adjacent to any existing community or already developed cluster in the county. This area is in a farm field, a productive resource that is dwindling due to elected officials not following the Decar County vision statement. That vision statement again says in 2035 agriculture will still be prevalent because the productive agricultural lands both large and small will have been preserved by directing new growth.
Well, direct this resoning elsewhere, please.
Thank you. Have any other comments, concerns from the public? Anything from the board? Comments, concerns, thoughts? You guys own that track next to it as well? No,
just this one. Yeah. for motion. The board has nothing further. Make a motion to vote on APC petition 2026-9.
Second. Let's read. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay, your petition passes. Thank you for taking the time and keep in touch with the office as you move forward. Okay, now we're going to move to the Decatur County Revitalization Project show cause hearing portion of our meeting. I want to preface this by clarifying that this is simply an opportunity for these uh hearings to request an extension for the court date. This process started from a complaint that was filed with the office with Doug and once that is in motion and Doug serves the papers then the process is started. Is that correct?
That's correct. So the only thing that we can do tonight is grant extensions. That's all that can happen and that will be based on a case-byase basis. So, our first one is R2026-8 Keith Jackson. We have a representative here for that one. And with no representative here, that one will move along. Correct, Doug?
That's correct. Okay. So, I'll need a motion.
Yeah. To basically you need to move to send it to court or grant an extension. There we need a motion to do that. proceed. Make a motion that we proceed to litigation for show cause on property 16-14300 0 003.0000-009 Jackson.
All in favor say I. I oppose. Okay, that moves on. The next is R 20226-9, James and Bonnie Smith. Do we have a representative here for that one? Okay, having no one, I will need a motion. I make a motion to uh forward on to the court system uh project show cause hearing R2026-9.
Second. All those in favor signify by saying I oppose. Nay. And that one will move on. Next is R2026-10. John Hugall, do we have a representative for that one?
Yeah, true.
Okay. Without any representation there, I need a motion. Make a motion to vote on R2026-10. Second. All those in favor of that moving on to litigation signify by saying I oppose. Nay. That one moves on. Next one is R2026-11. Kevin and Angela Arnett. That's one that I haven't. Okay. Mr. And I also take
Okay. So, we don't need to vote on that. Okay. But I wanted to still put it on there since Okay. Next one. R2026-12. David Israel and Justin Israel. Can you clarify which property is this one cuz there was one other one that we were
11 1183 South County Road 8 45 West 118 83.
So, was there any pictures taken on that one from previous Yeah. since the last meeting that we had? Um, pictures were taken on um March the 19th is what we have. But I thought that there was other pictures that was supposed to be taken prior to this meeting
showing that we've actually showed improvements of cleaning the property up. This is April 30th.
So is there proof from to show the members of what there is prior to this? And just to be clear, all we're all we can do is grant you the extent. Correct. Which Okay. Is this, you know, a favorable thing? This is the house that we're talking about. I can't see that. Residential. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. So, 8:45 West is going to be the house. It's the shook house, not the not the shop property. Well, then we've been cleaning the wrong property. Our problem. No, the other property was the other property was on the first docket,
right? Okay. So, now we're on the other property now. So, we need to start on the other. So, is Okay. So, we have a violation or protocol. We're going to start cleaning that up with an excavator. Um, with cleaning the the debris. There's two vehicles in a trailer sitting there. There's a garage that needs to be tore down and also a house. We have some trees that needs to be tore down and some wood there that we were using for heating our houses that we will get cleaned up.
And that's great, Justin. The the again what I want to clarify is um we you you don't need to prove to us what's going on. Basically, you would come to us and say uh can we have 30 30 days? can we have 30 days, you know, and we can say sounds like you're doing doing it great. That's wonderful. And I think at that point, the board would buy in, but but honestly, the details of kind of what what you're doing or whatever uh is almost irrelevant. You know, I'm not not that we don't you're you're welcome to tell us, but really what this board has the power to do is grant an extension, right? So, um is there anything with the last month's property? Is that going to be brought up at a different time?
No, because that 30 days already lapsed. So, so, so basically now they've already made it. You've you've you've been to the board for that particular property. Okay. Once they made a decision whether to give an extension, which they did, now it it lies on our office. Then we'll decide whether Okay. There's it's it's you're progressing or you cleaned it up to what is acceptable for the county ordinances. the case will notify you. If that is not the case, then we will notify you and then we'll have to come up here again. Not here. Not here.
The courtroom that property room this building this building. Yes. In the court. But we don't we don't have another hearing if it doesn't provide to You don't have another hearing. We we don't. So our 30 days is all we have painted that to your expectations. Correct. That's what the board said. So let's let's be clear on one thing. If if we don't grant an extension tonight, you're still 60 days away from going to court.
Anything that happens so anything that happens in that 60 days, if you get to day 57 and it's clean, you're probably not going to go to court. But we're turning 60 into 90. If we continue to grant uh extensions, 30-day extensions, when there's already 60 days of if it if it happened, if if we didn't grant an extension tonight, you wouldn't go to court. You have 60 days to get the place cleaned up roughly. Well, it depends how quick the court says. Understood. But and but it's so so what is that time normally? It's going to be 60 days
on a case by case basis, but we have time slots with the magistrates and they're setting this on Friday. So pretty much when I ask it in about So you're still 45 days. I just think that's a point we need to be aware of because 90 days is a gets to be a long time and
and and this particular property was in front of the commission in May 19th and of 2025 as well. So basically if you request an extension we can give you that extension and if there has been no action at the end of that say it's 30 days that's when the office can decide they haven't done anything. So now we're going to go to court with it. So as long as we show proof that we're trying to clean it up enhance it reviolation like by the time they're court date they've got to be done. They got Yeah. because you can't be making an effort.
Well, there's no guarantee.
So, this is the thing. You've been given notice. You've been given an extension. So, on the first one that's already come to us, if it has not met the requirements of the ordinance to be clean, then it can be proceeded to court. I will file a petition. I will get my court. Whatever the One can be given in three weeks in depends where we are on the calendar and we will go to court and proceed with that. You're granted an extension from here. But then after that, if it's not cleaned up, then we would proceed with that one. Working on it is great, but we are not So basically if you want to request the extension from us, we can grant you that.
Yes. They know that this is on the house. Mhm. because we have we had another property that was on last month, right? If I can. Yeah, go ahead, David.
There's four alleys on this property. We have So, the alleys aren't subject to the to to anything this board can do. I We're not talking about alleys right now. We're talking about alleys at all.
But we're not talking about the alleys. We're talking about the house. It's so so we're not talking about the alleys. We're talking about the house. If your neighbors are trashing your property, the way that you got here was one of your neighbors reported your your property. If they're doing it to you, you have every right to go back and do it to them. If they're causing problems for you, you can you can complain about them and they're here next month or two months from now. So, it it's nobody's nobody's being picked on. someone else. Yeah, a member of the public filed the complaint. So, yes, we are asking for an extension. Okay.
Please. Regarding that, are those alleys inside of the parcel lines or outside of the parcel lines that you're talking? They they border the lines. Okay. What what what this is for technically is your parcel only. So, not that I'm encouraging you to push stuff onto the alleys because that's not right, but you're not responsible for what is outside of your parcel lines. Okay. Okay. So, if there was a tree there that's on the say it's growed up in the alley, I'm technically not liable for cleaning that up. Correct. I believe that that's true. Mhm. As far as
I mean as far as um as our reviolation for our property with it adjacent. So if the lines here and our tree alive. Is the tree alive? Yeah. Then it's not an issue. It's not an issue. Okay. I just It's not the trees. Yeah. Trees aren't the problem. Always be an issue. So board, do we want to do what's our days?
Started on 30 days. Is that acceptable? Is that what you're looking that? Okay. I I didn't realize that there was more than an option because on the last property we didn't know there was more of an option. What what what do we mean more of an option? What what what option are we talking? There was a 30-day or 60-day or 90day. Well, the extension is is the length of the extension is determined by this board. But the I guess my point is that 30 is not 30. 30 is more like Yeah. 75. And and frankly, that's a long time.
Yeah. a long time.
Yeah. So, we would like to at least have 30 days. If if we could have a little bit more, it would be greatly appreciated because we are working on another property to try and get it cleaned up, too. in front of the commission. We've kind of stuck with our 30. I'm happy with granting 30. Yeah, I'm happy with both of them for that. Absolutely. If that's the case, I'll need a motion to grant a 30-day extension. That's 26-
12. I make a motion to vote on R 20226-12. I'll second for a 30-day extension. I'll second. All those in favor of the 30-day extension signify by saying I I oppose. Nay. Okay, Justin, you got 30 more days.
Can There's only one other question I had. So, since I'm a property owner, it only gets sent to one person. It only the the notices. Is there a way that it can be sent to two different since I'm an adjacent owner and he's an owner or does it only just get sent to one owner?
Okay. Okay, next one. R2026-13 land trust 620 North. Do we have a representative for that? Right here.
Can you state your name, please? Jeremy Gella. Okay. And you guys are requesting the extension as well. We wasn't even aware of this until we got the notice for this meeting because it's going to our email.
You should have been served. It's going your email. Is that correct? We got the notice for this for through our bank or our the place where Yeah. Yeah. It was address.
Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah.
And it's easy to do to record that contract. We've been working on though I mean two weeks If it doesn't rain every day notice 312. It's not like it's
How long you been there? Yeah, because this is a short years. Four years. Can what exactly?
So, the complaint was received about trash vehicles in the back, concern about rats, and that's what's listed. So, is that an RV in the back? From looking at the plan view, the overhead view, there's a camper back. Is that okay? Is it is it plate it like have license current license plates on it? And is it mobile?
Understood. Isn't that kind of our viewpoint on that? Yeah,
that's right. basically that it's it it would be something that would be used and not just kind of left there to rot, I guess, is the definition that we view as if it can be there or it can't. It's something that's being used and is legally played it, we find that it can stay there as long as you live there. But if it's something that's just going to lay there for the next 15 or 20 years and and fall apart and you never move it, then no, it cannot. It needs to be moved or relocated or put inside a building. Am I correct on that? Okay.
So yes, it would include the camper to answer your question if it is not legal. With that being said, you said you need about two weeks if it doesn't rain every day. They're fairly concurrent. I mean, it just came up. It's not like it's been multiple times. I think 30 days would be a good Yeah, I agree. Make a motion to vote on land or uh petition R2026-13.
I second. All those in favor of granting the 30-day extension signify by saying I. Oppose. Nay. Okay, you have your extension. Thanks. Next one is 2026-14 be a land trust white oak hill. Do we have a representative? Uh yeah, I'm the property manager. Okay. My name is Dino Bulger Basic. D I N O. B U L J U B A S I C
and are you requesting an extension? Um yeah, I would like a little bit of information. I think I know what the problem here is and it's the overgrowth of the the vegetation, I believe, but I'm not positive. That's correct. Okay. If you want to pass
someone living in this house.
No, this is an unhabited property. Um there was a land contract um at one point and it was repossessed by the company. Um they've been in possession of it since 2022 since they've repossessed it. Um they're currently selling it and the property is secure. The inside of it has absolutely nothing in it. It's completely cleaned out. The only issue with it is the overgrowth on all sides. And obviously the um the window, some of the windows have been broken over the past few years. Um there has been occasional breakins. Um but we do check it about once or twice a month and secure it when we go out there to make sure that is actively staying inside.
Do you have a plan to clean it up?
Um yes. Well, we want to uh clear out all the ve vegetation obviously so that we can uh get around the perimeter of it. Uh the back of it has a has a large deck um that we would have to actually get the the the forage all down before we can actually check and see what the condition of that is. Um I've walked through the inside of the property myself. Um and it's a it's a little weird twotory. Um, and I haven't noticed anything as far as like the the top of it collapsing in on itself or the flooring on the inside coming down. Um, it's mostly the uh cosmetic issues on the outside and the the the brush.
So, again, do you have a plan to to do that? Yeah, we will get somebody out there if we give it an extension to clear out all the brush first within 30 days and um afterwards within 30 days. It's done in 30 days. Yeah, we'll have it done before 30 days, probably within. And then um as far as the windows go, did you guys want the um new windows replaced or professionally boarded or right
and that I from my perspective being there today, I've walked the perimeter of it and it's all secured. Uh the windows are not professionally boarded, but they block people from actually gaining entrance entry to the property.
That's unsafe building.
So do you. So So we're actually, you know, we're we'd like to see it cleaned up, but we'd like to see it maintained. So, your history, frankly, is that you're not maintaining it. Do you have a plan to keep it cleaned up? Um, of course, we would mow it and, um, make sure that nobody comes inside of it and that sort of thing. Their plan overall is to to sell the property to an investor, but um, as far as as long as they have it, I'm I'm I haven't spoken to them today, but I'm sure there's no problem with them maintaining them. Who's them? uh the land trust, the owners of the property.
So, is it currently on the market? It is. Yeah. Um since it was repossessed back in 2022, so there hasn't been much interest in it. I guess that kind of goes to my question with the real No, this is owner financing. Uh they they they do it the same as the last guy. Yeah, it's a land contract.
I think what they do is they advertise online and um they usually have the signs in front of it, but it's a it's in a location when nobody will see the sign. So, this one's more of a um I guess an internet marketing thing that they have to do to uh get it in in the hands of somebody else. So, essentially, if we grant this 30-day extension, nothing happens. the court takes over. So,
make a motion to vote on 2026-14 extension. Second. All those in favor of a 30-day extension for 2026-14 signify by saying I. I oppose. Nay. Okay, you have your 30 days. And another um what will the date be sent out for the next meeting for this? There won't be it'll be a court date. Yeah. Okay. So, as long as it's all cleared up um there shouldn't be a court date. Is that right? That's correct. Sounds good. You guys have a good day. Thank you.
Thank you. Next one is R2026-15, David Moore and Diane Miller. David,
would you guys like to have the extension? There was an extension. Now, you know, obviously, I mean, we want everybody to know that we're giving you an extension, but there when you go to court, if it's not cleaned up, you Yeah, but it's been pretty good. I mean, I clean what you got to look on your paper. You said clean the trail had a metal on it and wood. I don't understand about the tree branch of the wood, but I hate my house. wood is for heat up.
We're gonna be transparent people out there. I don't know what you're doing that. But you know, but yeah, you say I want to know a question about the trailers. You got to say trailers. As long as they're plated. I mean plated. All my trailer dying there. I mean I got more and trailers. So does the white Chevy pickup with the dump bed on it run? Yes. It got for sale sign on even. Does it have a license plate? Yeah, it does, but it's old. I'm move. It runs. What about the red Chevy pickup? No. Some 80 90 something. Yeah, it runs. There's boy drives. Boy drives doesn't have a windshield.
Yeah. What windshield? Well, this is like a 90s era. Oh, that one. This one you got? I mean, I got Oh, that's a year ago. I mean, yeah, that the one that's been flat and it's been moved. Yeah, that's a year old picture. So, my daughter, too. So, I got I got a question, a simple question. We in in uh June of 25, you're given a 30-day extension. What happened with that? What happened with that? June 30th, 25 given 30-day extension. 30day.
I'm past red pickup. Red pickup. That picture was a year old. Uh they're not worried about that.
30 days basically as as long as you feel like 30 days would would enable you to make the progress two 30-day extensions already. I mean we just we appreciate what you're doing. If 30 days would would nobody's internally. Sure. Right. And what happened? Nothing. Nothing. Okay. We we already had a 30-day extension. Got nothing done. And then and in June. So So what is the June 30th 25 30 days? Is that is that I think that'll
So we'll look for a motion for a 30-day extension. I'll make a motion to make a vote on R2026-15 for a 30-day extension. I second. All those in favor signify by saying I. I oppose. Nay. Thank you. 30 days. Uh last one is R2026-16. Richard Lazier. Do we have a representative for that one? I've been working with Mr. That's a lot of mowed it down. Okay. Cleaned it up. Okay.
