Shubha Sayanam 26, Poojam 2-2, on the day of Neyamasabha Samyalan, is being announced as Chair. I request you to stand with us, who stand in support of the protest of the faith. We continue to conduct the prayer of the Council of Bennett. I pledge allegiance to the republic, which stands in support of the independence of the United States of America. For God's sake, a nation, which is independent, has freedom and justice for all.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day. I thank you for allowing us to reunite again. I pray for this society to be a season of growth and positivity, a season of change and transformation. I pray for this society to be a season of growth and positivity. I pray that we should love each other as much as we love you. I pray with all my heart. I pray that we should be able to do a job that makes our fans proud. In your name, we pray. Amen.
Amen. Agenda number number, American Idol finalist Brooks Roser's acceptance speech. Oh sir, please come forward. Mr. Roser. Yes.
God bless you.
At the age of 22, Brooks took part in the Nashville audition in Tennessee and was among the top six finalists. This showed his extraordinary musical talent and determination. When he served as a medicine technician in the Heart Heritage Assisted Living with Brooks Dementia Care, his contribution to others is evident in his hard work. With Muthashi's experience, he found a meaningful relationship with music, and used his honor to give hope and happiness to everyone around him. At the same time, through his American Idol journey, Brooks encouraged and encouraged people through his music. At the same time, he gave a special reason to make his birthplace happy. With his authority and the pride of his birthplace, he represented Bel Air and Harford County with pride. So, on September 1, 2026, at the County Council of Harford County in Maryland, he became the top 6 finalist in the 24th season of American Idol, and we congratulate and praise him for his contribution to the Harford community. Is he going to sing? Yes, yes.
I wanted to say, you know, I've been watching American Idol every year and I've been watching Brooke's efforts. If everyone knows, it starts with two million people. Even in the first six places, it's very unusual and amazing. Even though he is from our county, he is making things difficult. So, I wanted to invite him to his concert. Because it doesn't happen every day. He told me that he was really busy. I have seen him flying from California to here and there. And he is expecting us to have a show here soon. Very good. Do you have anything to say? Go. Thank you very much. Thank you, mom and dad. Thank you, Harford County.

Special Announcements We are honored to receive the official update of the O Council, Mr. Sanderson and Frederick County Council President, M. C. Keegan-Irumayi, Maryland Association of Counties. Welcome. Come. You are welcome. It is a pleasure to see you in Harford County. Thank you for allowing us. Certainly.
Thank you for allowing Mr. Penman to return to MECO. Thank you.
Oh, you are now thanking us.
I spoke to him at the earth committee. I can say thank you. Everything is fine. Everything is fine. So, thank you very much for giving us some time in your agenda this evening. And I am MC Keegan Eyre. I am with Frederick County Council. I am the current president of MECO. As you know, MECO. It is important that this incident is represented throughout the year in 23 counties and Baltimore. And so, you will get an update on what is happening in Mr. Sanitarian Annapolis. And a lot. Even an office session is a lot. And if you need, he will give you an update on what is happening in Washington. But, but, Um, Um, I am here to answer any questions with his help, or let him answer them himself. Um, To enter into a meeting. Um, I announced it. I am announcing these kind of meetings to hear what is happening to your residents under the name of President. Um, Make cool people can come forward when they protest for you in Annapolis. Therefore, I am going to hand it over to Mr. Thompson.
Thank you all for the opportunity. Again, I am the director of the Maryland Association of Counties, Michael Sanderson. For those of you who are watching this video, we are a non-profit organization. We live in Annapolis. We serve and serve all the Maryland employees who are selected to serve in public services. and the Maryland county governments. You may not have realized that counties are more vulnerable than the law when it comes to the local governments who provide full services. We have opponents in other parts of the country, whether counties run jails, or run nursing homes, or improve bridges. That's all. In the county governments, executive branches, law enforcement agencies, and in the guidance of the Maryland government, the duties and responsibilities of the state of Maryland are one and the same. It serves our residents very well. Oh, I have brought some detailed information. This is mostly the official updates from the last Legislative Assembly, as well as some of the issues surrounding it. And I would like to understand things more closely. Oh, conduct two interviews on major issues. If I lose anything along the way, if you understand your questions and opinions, please return them. So let me quickly review a few things. First of all, let me say that I do not think that there is a huge portfolio for a Pangali like the county governments in Maryland. The reason I pointed out now is due to the responsibility of the responsible parties. In addition, various things are done directly by the county governments or funded by the county governments of various regional agencies. There are various places where the state is generally established, but it is usually done by the county government. That's why we are a part of a variety of different things. In the leadership of our Legislative Assembly, our staff in MECO, including you, and we took an appointment this evening, and our Legislative Assembly is taking hundreds of bills from all the Legislative Assembly committees. In an ordinary year, we have the opportunity to get 40 or 50 bills, and we are struggling hand in hand. Or, it should be like that. Or, we have to sit on the table. Or, some local professionals should say this. Or, I think it's a good idea to change the way we recycle. But the local recycling director from a big county and a small county is on our side. They will tell you two different stories about how to make this happen from a size that matches all the laws. If it wasn't for MESHA, I don't think we would have been able to do this. That's why we are doing a lot of things for that purpose. In the snapshot I brought, we tried to film. The MGA is silent. There is a great opportunity for us to pass the bills. It is difficult to do things that are against us. In Annapolis, we are not winning in all the protests. But we are making a change in the city. Also, there is a kind of punch above our India. Oh, Madam President and I will conduct two large-scale inspections when we join other parliamentarians. One is the one you have all heard about on your public travels, which is Affordability. New council members, county commissioners, new senators and representatives will be asked about the prices they can pay from their constituencies and officials. That is their medical bill. The price to pay for vehicle construction is about the protection of children and various services. The price to pay for Maryland is the same. This is an American problem. The entire American economy. Whether it is the price of gas or the price of eggs, or whatever the current problem is, there are problems that affect your relatives, your friends, and your communities. And some of them reach the Constitutional Assembly. These are mostly problems that have made the government a burden. Mike, can you speak a little louder on that mic? Therefore, I believe that this movement will continue because everyone is aware of the cost to be paid. Senators and representatives and even some county officials are actively responding to their legislative bodies. And then, how will it be? How will it be? I don't know. Last year, some relief laws were passed by the National Legislative Council. We tried to make some changes in the bills that the rate payers were willing to support and some changes in the bills that the Public Service Commission was willing to accept. But even if we, as the Public Service Commission, have accepted the changes in the bills that the Maryland Department of Health and Welfare has accepted, the electrons themselves are a temporary bill. Therefore, there are restrictions on what can be done for the state. We are in a multi-state situation. It is in a complex situation. But I am sure that you all have heard about this problem. Our co-operators in Annapolis are the same. It will continue. It will be a continuation of the revolution. The Vavana Act will mostly be the same. For the past few years, there has not been a dramatic change in the demand for wind turbines. According to the report you are reading, 60,000, 90,000, or 1,20,000 units of wind turbines will be available today, or in a very short time. We all know that Maryland has a lot of poverty. Some of the places that are in the middle of poverty are the places where people can't afford to live. It's hard to get there from here. The legislature can't change the rules, but they can change the zoning. They can change the laws and regulations that take local decisions. And in the last two sessions, we found some fair middlemen. I think it will make the local decision-making process a lot easier, but those who want to save it in gas units are more sure. Oh, green taping in areas around heavy transit areas such as some, some, and transit center train stations. We all agree that it is a good place for the use development of high-end mixtures, so we can green tape everything we can. Oh, such things! After two years of disappointment, the court passed a resolution. So I'm happy to know where we were in these matters. I don't think that discussion has come to an end. And I don't want the state and its budget to solve this issue. This is a very quick disappointment, but the state's financial situation is very bad. There are also a variety of institutions that work together. This is how I see it. For a long time, I have been monitoring financial problems for the MECO and the counties. But before that, when I worked in the parliament, Let's calculate the income growth in a normal year. The main engines for the income of a country like 400,000 rupees are oil and sales. Now, do you know who has this two-week job, oil and sales? Who bought a pair of shoes this week and now closed the sales for it? It's not like the oil itself, it's a little insulated and a little moldy. In a normal economy, you know, what is it? 2 or 3% increase in living expenses, 1 or 2% in productivity and population, plus you will get 4 or 5% income growth. You don't have to be a millionaire, but a few years ago, if the state's general fund budget was 25 billion dollars or a little more than 4%, no matter what your new assets are, every year it is 1.5 million dollars of new income. All of this will cost you a little more, but you will get a little bit of profit to make a profit here. You can make a profit of $1 billion using a new product. There are free spending methods that are expected to make a profit of 4% or 5% for the company. We can give a big response to the general education system. It will be cost-effective, but if the population growth is 300 million per year, you can say in a way, hey, maybe we'll keep the first 300 billion per year as education. That's the first step forward. Quote, I don't think it's irrelevant to think that a 10-year plan will make sense. The population income is now not five percent, but almost one percent. If the new income is 1 billion or 1.3 billion instead of 250 or 300, then the calculation is no longer a calculation. You used multi-year formulas to calculate the consequences of some of the shortcomings that come from the decisions taken by the federal government in relation to the rights and responsibilities that have been set aside. If you add all these together, the unions will start to become a very powerful union. When they passed their budget plan for the first year of the parliament in April, the next year's plan had to be implemented in the next parliament meeting, so they had an idea that it would be about $2-1.2 billion. It could be more than that. If today we have a total fund of 29 billion, 2 and 1 by 2 billion or 3 or 3 and 1 by 2, you are under 10% of the budget. And that's scary. That's a lot more than things like sofa, cushion, nip, and tuck. So, for the difficult decisions to come, some of the column A, some of the column B, the rehabilitation of expectations, some of the recovery of income will be needed. That is not easy. But all this is happening at the same time. I have not even demonstrated that the system is not fast in school building methods. We know that that is the case. We know that counties like you, like Gadhagadam and Kuravan, are listening to you from the front lines of those methods. We don't have the money to do new methods like public highways or bridge crossings. And it is difficult and difficult to be afraid of numbers like I have seen. So, it will be difficult for the local leaders to make arrangements. It will affect local priorities and local budgets. That is where we call on you. Apart from trying to take 40 or 50 small fires out of the 40 Arts and Ends bills, we are trying to bring this division or to change it. This coming year, we will have to work hard to make sure that this partnership between the state and its counties is maintained in a healthy manner. Without sharing any pain with us, they will never solve the financial problems at this level. How does it look? How much is the economy? I don't know which methods and which local priorities are going up. But we are going to take part in that discussion. Isn't that so? The association that says how important these services are to the society, and the leaders who have been elected, we will have our hands full to continue this hope. They represent the same people as all of you. You have a peer-to-peer relationship with the employees selected in Annapolis. We are very excited to bring our station to them. That's why it's an interesting discussion in various institutions. A federal issue that you may have heard of, I have now understood. Today, I would like to share with you an update. You may have heard about the changes in the federal government's grant acceptance laws through various federal programs. You may have heard about this from your local community without benefits, from the local management board, from the municipal services within the county government, or from the institutions. In short, federal agencies and state agencies are promoting the regulations that they hear about you. They are in a position to comment on anything. It continues to become the law of the land in the federal process. There is a federal law that does the same thing. We are implementing some federal laws. A federal agency says, this is our new legislation on how to deal with the hostilities of the local armed forces. We heard about it a year ago. We are passionate about it. There are major changes in the management office and budget regarding the process of accepting federal grants. In particular, you may have heard from non-local institutions that if we are unable to prepare plans after receiving a grant for two years, we will be disappointed. If the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months and if the federal board approves the two-year grant within three months Many counties are very concerned about this. Mothership, National Association of Counties, and our opponents in Washington are very concerned about this. Oh, this is now tied to the federal budget. And the federal government has passed a budget for a year and it's been a long time. Oh, they divided the federal budget into more than one part. Six agencies are helping each other. They've been doing this for a year and a half. In times when they don't have a complete solution, today's funding level will continue to rise to another 90 days. We will try to solve everything. It will take a little more time. Several federal agencies are moving from one SIAR to the next SIAR to the next SIAR. The budget will never recover. Therefore, this law on the construction of the Grand has been tied as the newest kick in the funding revolution. December At that time, there is another time for our friends in the National Association of Counties, for our co-operators in the unprofitable society, for lawyers, and for the grant recipients of federal funds, to try to come to terms with some of the arguments. So, if you have heard about it, today's latest news is this. We believe that the bill is going to the president's table. A part of it will be agreed to avoid federal shutdown. Therefore, we have time until December to continue this small protest. That is, I am sure that you will have heard a lot of things in the pocket. If you want to talk about anything else, we can do that.
So, Madam President, do you have anything to add to the speech he conducted tonight?
Can we please bring American Idol Vijay Vijay back? He's gone. Oh, okay.
I can't sing.
So don't ask me.
Therefore, I am sure that there will be some questions. Mr. Penman, go ahead. Thank you. Mr. President, Mr. Sanderson, thank you very much for your guidance. I have participated in many meetings with you. Your knowledge about thousands of laws is very important. Madam President, thank you. You are doing a great job in conducting these meetings using different specialities, instructions and directions. Because in fact you have a difficult job, it is very impossible. In my opinion, I think what I'm saying and what you're saying is exactly what Mr. Sanderson said. It's not a big deal for everyone. We've seen that a law enforcement officer passes a law, but it's not a law enforcement officer's job. We are carrying out the struggles that you can fight in the name of MECO. We are providing bad bills. We are providing good bills. But that is an endless struggle. But Mr. Sanderson, I think some of the things you know are important to ensure that the energy costs of Harford County and the proper infrastructure are ensured, right? And you know the change in the state. Our citizens are burdened. There have been many discussions about the Mayo Data Centers, which are data centers, and you know that it will affect the state a lot. In youth, crimes are regulated. So, next year, I would like to try to find something and try to regulate it. We saw the 287G program. Today, the sheriff testified it in front of Congress. We would like to see it come back. And the county's expenses continue to change. We have seen that the cuts coming from the state are also coming in the grants. I mean that there are many county grants that depend on the federal government through the state. Therefore, Thank you very much for everything you do. Thank you for traveling to Harford County. I praise you.
Yes, Mr. J. Arthur Dana. Okay, thank you for coming. But, um, I know that we have lost a great speaker. I am on the INB board, that is, on the Insurance Agents and Brokers board, and I lost Bryce. Um, but, um, we are losing Palm there. According to my understanding, some people have now moved to the judicial part. What they are looking at is how the entire state and insurance agencies are doing. That's why they want to increase the risk of accidents in cities with a lot of traffic jams and increase the PIN code rating in the state. I'm afraid that if most of the people here drive their cars and see their premiums increase by 30 or 40% in the coming years, it will be more expensive for people and young drivers. I don't know if this will happen in this session. But I am sure that this will happen in the next one or two sessions. Especially if the snake goes away and changes it. So I don't know what your stance is. But I know that this is one of the things we talked about in some of our meetings. I am not waiting for that. It is a very serious problem. Mr. Bennett, hello, um, I was inspecting the bills, and as you clearly pointed out, you can represent a group of people from different countries and talk about the needs of local parties, so MACO has a lot of weight in Annapolis. GOVERNMENTS So you are our strongest voice for the needs of our local community. In a way, you know where we could have reached in our representative body. But beyond that representative body, there are many representatives outside of Harford County, and you can approach them. And so I wanted to ask a little. Do you know? Because you opposed House Bill 1411, I read. It was about data center operators reporting on their physical health, water and nutrition. And when I read the reasons behind it as an association, I understood. At first, I was a little surprised. But then when I read the reasons behind it, you know, you know. If a place is trying to do something like this, we should not be isolated. That's the thing. But do the data centers have a direct relationship with MECO and NACO? I am asking because, as you know, only this year we have been able to fully control the data centers in Hartford County. But what will happen if our local decision is rejected from Annapolis? Let's see. This problem. First of all, it is very hot. I have the courage to prove that.
A country surrounded by hyperscale data centers, the ability to install IT applications, the idea of installing IT applications is actually not a new idea. But scaling makes this a very different problem. And this has changed a lot. From the National Association of Counties and the Constitutional Development Association, these are the most easy and difficult places for us to visit. If the Harford County wants to stop them, we do not think there is a place that is as safe as this. We thank them for that. We believe that it is your right. For Frederick County, any residential can be used as a means of living. It is their right. It should be their right. We can do it in their favor. It should be their local decision. Therefore, it is easy to say to Annapolis to come to power. This should be a local thing. Annapolis, where we are trying to make major national decisions local, does not always succeed. Next year, if a dozen different bills are issued, I will be shocked. In that, until we get more data, we can hold a moratorium for 24 months, or we can create a history of very limited needs that make data centers completely useless. And I think there will be a lot of people who want to say even if I don't oppose it. I have heard a lot about this in the public. So I want to take a stand. Not only for Frederick County, I don't like their style. I also want to say to Carolin County. Harford County and Allegheny County, don't do this. Even if I don't know, I don't represent those areas. I don't know how it will go. This will be a national controversy. Um, nyan aduthide oru poll kandu. Ningalkariyamo, ito oru nirmanamou kaarimou alla. Pakshay nyan itu pindudarannu. Um, ipol, sharashiri Amerikakaran kalkeri kattunna power plantin ekaal avar tamasikunna stalatine samibam oru data center prithyaksha pidunnathine aana kooduthal itirkunnathu. Ite ennodu parayu. I understood that people are interested in their medical facilities. They think it is because of crores of people and big companies. They are also interested in water use. But if you are interested in the situation, if you are interested in the specialties that immediately occur in the society, This is a very difficult situation for the public to justify. Anyway, that's how it is. The public is angry about this. A group of senators and representatives will be like that. So we can say that these are local decisions. I think it will win. We can assume that this is a country that is trying to win the next round. This is a path that the governor and various people who are involved in economic development and development have mentioned. These are the things that Maryland can do well. We have a well-developed workforce. We are a great place to do a lot of economic things. And I don't know how this is happening. The nation is very interested. The last thing I want to point out is that it is clear that there is a bigger problem than this. But when I sit in my office today, I feel like I have seen more than two dozen people riding electric bikes on roads. I know that the country is far behind in controlling and understanding this change in electric bikes. You know, when I was a kid, you used to get an electric scooter. It can help you a little before the battery runs out. You know, these electric bikes are basically like mobiles or motorcycles. But 12-year-old kids ride without helmets. And I think this is a cloud that can actually control the country to help local counties. We can't do that. Um, I wanted to put it in your radar. It is a security device that is growing. I'll put it in there.
Then I'll go back to the end. Then, I know that Frederick City is thinking of introducing some measures to electric scooters and electric cycles. Um, Frederick County talked about this. Um, I know that this is a problem in the beaches of Delaware. Because the road rules are being destroyed by children who do not understand. There have been some serious incidents involving young people in these matters. So I won't talk about Michael, but I think it's one of the things that caught the attention of people. And you don't have to see people of our age riding an electric scooter. It may be an electric bike, but I don't think young people will understand the incident. So, I think you will see it. And as far as data centers are concerned, I will explain what Mr. Sanderson said. In Frederick County, we had a 2200-acre-wide place called Aluminium Wooden Plant. It used to be an agricultural field. There used to be water and medicine there. And we made a decision. Are the public happy? No. And the company that is being developed today has left a mark on community services because the county is trying very hard to provide some community services to the community near them. Apart from everything they do to help Frederick County, they will spend $110 million to provide community services only to that community. They agreed to reduce 20% of the capacity of the project. They also agreed to use a closed water and a recirculating system. This will reduce 80% of their permanent use of water. Therefore, they are moving forward, realizing that they have to fulfill their community's wishes and the wishes of the community. Therefore, this is an ongoing debate. I understand that the county has passed a moratorium. Um, we got on this scooter and now we are trying to reduce the speed and put on the helmet. Um, but yes, one of the things we do is that we are trying very hard to make sure that data center development companies understand. The responsibility to this society and to the communities. Thank you, Mr. Vili. Yes.
Okay, I hear what you're saying. But we didn't win the Solar Farms in Harford County.
Let's have that discussion. Go ahead.
Annapolis residents have decided to take over. My wife, who is the chairperson of the Harford County Board of Directors, is going to play the same game with the data centers. So, Michael, you're lucky.
So, we had a discussion on a bill that I had brought forward. It was to establish a meter and an energy distribution system, a battery distribution system. We passed it. But it got votes from 4 to 3. The three people who voted for it said, we don't want the government to tell us what to do with our infrastructure. I said, I want to come to Annapolis and fight with me. Then, yes, that's how we all felt.
Mr. Parment. Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. Your staff is very positive. Your staff is very trustworthy. They are very knowledgeable. Please take care of those subcommittees. Only if you can thank us, your staff, they will do a great job. Thank you very much. I will do it. So, for the past 12 years, I have had the pleasure and the pleasure of participating in the Mac conferences in the past 12 years. I found it very useful to allow you to work with your co-workers who have a long history. I have often thought about how many people will participate.
Let's say it ended two weeks ago. How many people were there at that conference? There were about 3,600 people at the conference and in attendance. The registrants you know, the participants, the employees selected by us, and the professional staff were included. But when you include all the speakers, participants, exhibitors, and vendors in the panels, you can organize demonstrations, create staffing booths, and so on. That's a big deal. To be honest, we have been able to achieve this because the counties have been involved in what we get from that conference. Everyone wants to be there. Everyone understands that. Then it increases your value.
Madam President, as the lead, I hope you will enjoy your time in Macau.
Good. Um, I have been in Macau for 12 years. So, I have limited time. So, I will say hello to them. They will be very happy to go. But, thank you very much for letting us in this evening. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
Michael, you have been a great help to us all this time. So, thank you very much for being here. Thank you very much. Yes. Let's move on to the seventh agenda. The minutes are accepted. Is there any change in the minutes? There is no change. The minutes are accepted. 8. Approval of proposals Will Mr. Gendry read 2-6 proposals for Devaayi Puja 1-3? Proposal 13-26, as announced by the Master Water and Sewer Plan Update, was announced by the County Executive and announced by the Council President, Mr. Vincent. Proposal 2026, as announced by the Master Water and Sewer Plan Update, was announced by the County Executive and announced by the Council President, Mr. Vincent. Proposal 2026, as announced by the Council President, Mr. Vincent. In addition, according to Article 9 of the Maryland Annotated Code, Maryland will submit a plan for the implementation and implementation of the Maryland Act. The general hearing scheduled for Wednesday, October 6, 2026, will be held in this Council Council Chamber at 6 in the evening, after 6 in the morning, for 30 minutes. Thank you. Mr. Bennett, please read Resolution P1-4, Impact Fees and P1-5, 2-6 Electronic Cycles. Harford
In order to increase the impact fees of public school development in the county by $15,000, the Harford County Council has issued a proposal to the Harford County Council to promote the Harford County Council of the General Assembly of Maryland. The Harford County Council has issued a proposal to the Harford County Council of the General Assembly of Maryland to promote the Harford County Council of the General Assembly of Maryland to support the operation of electric cycles.
Thank you. Since there is no need for a general hearing on any of these proposals, we will hold a meeting in the evening. Therefore, I would like to present a proposal on the School Investment Impact Fees Resolution 1.4.2.6.
Okay, Council President, I am going to accept the proposal. From 14 to 26. Thank you.
Can you give me one minute? Second.
Thank you, Ms. Robert.
Okay, is there any discussion? Mr. Bennett.
Mr. President, we have been talking about impact fees for almost two years. As you may know, a few years ago, when we passed the 24-3-3 Bill, we knew that developers had to pay the actual cost of the land development we had established. At that time, we knew that a single-family house would cost about $13,000, and we also knew that a new townhouse would cost about $14,000. But in 2005, our limit was $10,000. So, we have a limit on what we can do to make that house a self-sufficient facility, because we reached a limit on our impact fees for single-family houses and townhouses. As soon as possible 19 months ago, UMM sent a personal letter to the Commission to ensure that the next council would be able to hold that meeting. But unfortunately, we were not able to hold the meeting in two sessions. Thank you. Anyone else?
Um, I have to agree to a certain amount first, because I know that when we looked at this, we sent a bill along with the statement. It took Ms. Ledjik four minutes to check the bill and see if it was illegal. It was the bill that was requested to pass the constitution. What do you say in 2005? Um. According to the time, I intended to raise the money we were getting, because that money should come from anywhere. It will come from the people who decide it or from you as the executive. So, I don't have a problem with this. Again, it is in the hands of the Parliament. They are the ones who make the final decision. Anyone else? Miss Dixon.
Mr. President. Yes. Mrs. Robert. Yes. Mrs. Penman.
Pass.
Mr. Chandradhatno. No. Mr. Riley. Yes. Mrs. Bullsaddles. No. Mr. Bennett. Yes. Mr. Penman.
No. There are four votes in favour and three in opposition. They voted for the first, fourth, second, sixth. The first, fourth, fifth, second, sixth electronic votes. Can I have a vote?
Mr. President, I am going to pass the vote from 25 to 26. Can I have a second vote? Second.
Thank you, Mr. Penman. Is there any discussion? Mr. Bennet.
In my precious life, I see my children in these electric bikes all the time. I feel like they are growing up day by day. I see the children sitting in the bike with their younger siblings. This is like a wonderful Vinodha Park ride. Then, a large influx of children arriving in Aashubhathri due to accidents in these electric bikes from the central protesters and, as far as I know, Aashubhathri residents. I know that an electric bike with a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour can go as fast as you need it to check and make sure that it does not have that maximum speed. I've been reading a lot about electric bikes. Last year, I saw a photo of a man standing on a Jones-Hawkins. The possibility of an electric bike running over the head is threefold compared to a traditional man-made bike. The industrial system has changed dramatically. Batteries have become very efficient. You know, this is not a new game anymore. It's one that really empowers you to go back to work. It works like a car on the road. The drivers are not expected to pass the driving test. There is no driving license, no registration, no insurance. It is very likely that people will drive these bikes. Therefore, I think it is time for the government to address this issue. The sales of these bikes, the use of them, and the help they provide in the travel industry should be kept in mind. The message that it is not advisable to take your child to middle school, or to high school, or to elementary school, or to high school should also be helped by the families. But it is as if a car's or a motorcycle's key is being taken away from them. We have to take it with respect.
At least someone else. Mr. Ginger Dinner. That's why in the insurance business, I've been working with Jacob for the last 35 years. Not a single person in the last two years has hit a bike. Four of the kids on the bike have been hit. Um, some are worse than others. But you know, there are some regulations that need to be implemented. Look at the problem in Baltimore City. All their dirt bikes and ATVs are there. There are regulations that they should not be on the streets. They are everywhere. So if you don't make it happen, if you don't find a way to force these kids, if you don't do anything, it is a big responsibility for the police to force these kids on their bikes. They may not be going to follow them. I don't know how you will stop this if they don't stop making it together. But there is something to be done. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Penman. Oh, thank you, Mr. President. The first thing I expect from this is to hold a meeting in Annapolis. Secondly, as you know, Madhavithas need some guidance on this. I expect that they will use any legislation that comes to guide their children to walk on these scooters in our county. So, thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. Robert.
Yes, I agree. Near my aisle, they were saying even the 755 strip and Willoughby Beach. Then you look like a two-year-old. No one has a helmet, cars are coming to steal, the bike is not paying attention, and you can see it flashing. So, I think certain things should happen. I expect this to be difficult for the law enforcement. Because they are driving on the streets, I have called the law enforcement. When they get there, they are not sitting in the driveway and riding a bike. At that time, they cannot do anything. So, we need more measures about this. Thank you. Mrs. Dickson, Mr. President, Mrs. Robert, Mr. Penman, Mr. Jandru Nance, Mr. Riley, Mrs. Bolshadler, Mrs. Bennett.
Seven votes in the election, negative for Poojam, resolution for Poojam 1, 5, 2, 6 and 4 were approved. Mr. Jandru Nance, please read the record of 26,012 and 26,013 bills. 2.260-12-Chart-Chart-Adhyayam-267-Sowning-Court-Council-President-Vincenti-Avadaripichuthu-Bole-Mathiyaya-Podhu-Saugariya-Paribadi-Parishkaranangal 2.260-12-Chart-Chart-Adhyayam-267-Sowning-Court-Council-President-Vincenti-Avadaripichuthu-Bole-Mathiyaya-Podhu-Saugariya-Paribadi-Parishkaranangal 2.260-12-Chart-Chart-Chart-Adhyayam-267-Sowning-Court-Council-President-Vincenti-Avadaripichuthu-Bole-Mathiyaya-Podhu-Saugariya-Paribadi-Parishkaranang Section 267-126 of Section 267 of Section 267 of Section 267 of Section 267 of Section 267 of Section 267 A cross-reference related to general facilities must be corrected.

Public Facilities Advisory Board, Part 2, Article 16A, Administrative Public Facilities Advisory Board, 30 minutes after 6 in the evening, in this council chamber. Thank you. Mr. Penman, Devaayi Bill 26, Pujyam 1-4, please read the record. Bill No. 26-14, Charter Regulations Section 5-12, as announced by Council Member Penman, is about the council budget. Article 5 of the Harford County Charter, which reaffirms the 5-12 section of the council budget, a law that prohibits the distribution of budget and income, or to increase or decrease or not to increase or decrease or not to increase or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease or not to decrease Board of Education Harford County Inner Category Operating Budget Transfer Good evening. Good evening.
Good evening. We are here today evening to ask for your approval on both occasions. Usually, we come at the end of the financial year. In June, our board approved this and we had to agree for a whole year. Our budget is very low, so we felt that it would be too much of a change. So we removed what we brought first and what we shared with you, and I believe that a part of the process is on your side. So Mr. Clark will examine it very briefly and we will answer any questions that you may have.
Again, thank you for calling us tonight. Again, this is a decision about the change in government departments. And we expect that we will end in some of our departments. We know that we will not have this change. Again, as Ms. Jettji said, we will do this normally in June. And special education, tuition, instructional salary, students' health services, plant operations, fixed charges, instructional supplies, and other instructional expenses, we expect that we will have the rest. So, we need 74,57,000 to move between those institutions. This means that you can take a dollar from one institution and rebudget it to another institution. It doesn't matter if you increase or decrease the budget. This is something you do for years. We are not really interested in making a budget. But since we can't reduce more than a dollar, this is something that usually happens every year. We stopped doing it a few years later, but this is generally just a rebudget. Does anyone have any questions? Mr. Jandu, thank God, you didn't have to stop for a penny. Some of them did. Some of them did. Some of them did. Some of them did. Some of them did. Some of them did. Some of them did. Some of them did. Some of them did.
It was an unexpected season for us, because you spent Rs. 50,000. When we looked at the interest rates and the endowment rates, we talked about the increase in the special difference and the cost of about Rs. 5 lakhs. So, I know why you have to pay for some of the different departments. Um, you know, I understand. I want to make sure that the people behind it understand.
Yes, Mr. Bennett. Thank you for being here. Um, let's try to say it clearly. This is the previous budget of the previous year. Previous expenses are bookkeeping, not expenses in Vavi.
Right. This is the last year of the budget. Therefore, FY26 does not allow us to spend excessively on any department. Therefore, when we are in the end of the year, we have to make these adjustments accordingly. Once we close the books, we will know exactly where we are.
Is this upcoming budget to ensure that a few changes are required from the school system from the beginning of the year, a reconstruction of the excess and the reduced costs?
We aim to achieve this every year and expect it to happen. In June, when we were in the emergency, we introduced some measures. But unfortunately, we actually did the rest of what we had to do to meet the budget. Therefore, if we spend too much, we will have to go back to a situation where we do not have enough funds to withdraw from other departments. One will have to make a budget-free income or use a funder balance to balance it. So, let's see what happens this year. Then what will be my last question?
The answer to this is, but... Was it a disease in the actual cost of spending on special education substitutes? Was it meetings? What is the reason for that projection to rise from 2 lakhs to 7 lakhs?
The financial year of 2026 was a very tight budget year. Do you remember? When we went into the budget, we were told that we would get it from the County Executive as an alternative. Normally, if we see that we spend more money per year, we try to save a little more money as a substitute. We didn't do that that year. And then the substitutes are a kind of wild card, because you can exclude a lot of substitutes. Like the way we budget in the first class now. In the first class, we can exclude people from the family. Our use of the first grade substitute will increase a lot, but the second grade will be very low. That's why, if we look at it systematically, it's true that we should be where we are. We had more special education. This year, subscribers are expected to be in the early stages.
It's really unfortunate. Then, some meetings will require subscribers, but that's very few. Thank you.
Did you see how much the Family Medical Leave Act will cost in January? They have decided to start it.
That is understood. Then, we are talking too much. But, it is not enough that we don't have answers. So, that would be enough.
For the amount of 10,000,000. Yes, right. This is 9% of the salary. Our salary, whatever it is. Plan. Yes, yes, yes. Then, you are looking at two 10,000,000. Supplemental appropriations. Yes, so we got more income in two parts. Um Harford County will refund us the health care consortium, if not the same. Forgive me, this is a long day. It was $3 million. It was budgetary. Revenue. We got more than $5 lakhs in a budget-free rate. This rate comes from the federal government. Therefore, we wanted to get it back. When we were doing this, we were using a new accounting system, Oracle. I'm sure you've heard about it. We wanted to make sure that we had a little more. Anyway, the income was reduced to the fund balance. So, this is just to get it back. Also, we need to include this special education in public tuition. Does anyone have any questions? Then, We can do that together. Intercategory Budget and Supplemental Trends. Okay, then can you promise me something? Councillor, you want to do that. Wait for a minute.
I think the number of people who vote in the same way is low. There is no guarantee. So you can do it. Okay, okay. Then we will do it.
We will do it specially. We can transfer the Intercategory Operating Budget. The Councillor President will accept the Intercategory Operating Budget in 2026. Thank you. Can you allow me a second? Second. Thank you, Mr. Riley. Is there any discussion?
Mr. Dickson Mr. President Mrs. Robert Mr. Penman Mr. Giardina Mr. Riley Mr. Bulls-Adler Mr. Bennett If there are 7 votes in favourable and 7 votes against, the budget transfer is accepted.
Can I make an announcement regarding the budget transfer? The Council President will start accepting budget transfers for the fiscal year 2026. The second thing I want to say is, Secondly, Thank you, Mr. Riley. This is for you. Is there any discussion about it? Mrs. Dixon.
Mr. President.
Mrs. Robert. Aye. Mrs. Penman. Aye. Mr. Giardina.
Mr. Riley.
Mrs. Bullsadler. Aye. Mr. Bennett.
Aye. With 7 positive and 7 negative votes, Supplemental Appropriation is approved. Thank you both. Very much. You have won the elections on the first day. On the second day, Yes. Our council will now act as the Signing Board of Appeals. After that, we will return to the General Assembly. The Signing Board of Appeals has passed the Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual
This year, our hearing examiner Ms. Dotty Smith, Bob Cahoy, Planning and Zoning Department, and Zoning Board of Appeals talked about some possible changes. I think she hasn't changed since 2016. There were some things that planning, zoning and Mr. Cahoy needed. She is very calm. One of the biggest changes is that the staff report will be sent to Mr. Cahoy's office. It was done within 7 days after hearing. In 2016, it was changed to 20 days. It was a problem for planning and zoning. They have a lot of volume in these cases. Moreover, when the hearing examiner does not look at the files 21 days before, the public hearing is completed 20 days before the staff report. and we moved it to 7 days. So, we have to get the planning and zoning and staff reports after 7 days. Oh, there was a fee that could not be increased. I think that it was removed in a way that the laws have never been changed. So, we removed it. Another important change was that when the deadline was announced after all the arrangements were completed, there was a requirement that the deadline should be scheduled in front of the appeal board within 60 days. If you want to have a wedding, you have to postpone it to 90 days. Often, 60 days will be in between. A special session will have to be called. They have to make sure that there is enough space for the council here. It used to be 90 days before. It has been changed to 60. Now it is going back to 90. So, I think there are such practical things and then there are some typographic things to fix. But there were only some changes. Okay. Anyway, Mr. Bennet,
Mrs. Elec, can you tell us how different it is now that we are voting as a council? If you remember the council rules, some restrictions were imposed on them in April.
The council rules have a mandate that all exams should be held at least once a week. The zoning rules do not have such a mandate, so they can be held in one night. That's what's happening tonight. Thank you. Anyone else?
Ms. Dixon, roll the queue. Mrs. Dixon, roll the queue. Mr. President, Council President, I am going to accept the rules of the experiment. I think we have done this far. Mr. Riley has done this far. He is the second one. That is up to you. That is up to you. Yes. Forgive me. Mr. President. I...
Mrs. Robert. Nyan. Mr. Penman.
Nyan.
Mr. John Jordan. Nyan. Mr. Riley. Nyan. Mr. Mrs. Ballsaddles. Me. Mr. Bennett.
I knew it would happen.
Since there are seven votes in favour and seven votes against, the zoning board of appeals has approved the proposed rules. And, on agenda number 15, we are going to return to the regular session using the input from the speakers. Has anyone signed up to speak? We have, Mr. President. We have three people this evening. Okay.
Jeff Beck, Linda Stain-Flynn, Matthew Brown.
Good evening, Sir. Name and PIN number. Jeffrey Beck, 21,085, Joppa Down, Maryland. The number of people coming here tonight is suspected. Good evening, Council President and Council Members. Tonight, you have announced a group of new bills and amendments. The news on the street is that this council is planning to announce more things before the end of this term. At the same time, it is certain that six of the seven members will not return to another term due to the fact that they have not passed their primary. The public facilities, the import fees, the bikes, the water, the tap water, and the bills and permits that were vetoed two years ago by the Charter Committee, were all discussed tonight. Before one decade, another organization that had seven representatives took notice of the words of their members of parliament, took action, and asked the Maryland government to accept Edgwood as a sustainable community. In 2010, the Maryland Sustainable Communities Act established a rule to reinstate and revive sustainable communities by protecting and strengthening sustainable activities. In addition, the local authorities have set up a very strict rule to restrict this rule. This rule is important because it acts as an incentive. Forgive me, this is an intention that is full of grant funding opportunities, but it is also protected by various grants that are only available to the community. For the past 10 years, EDGE has been of great use. Not only from grant funding, but also from non-profit organizations and non-profit institutions in the community that share with the county. Voice for the 755 Alliance. At the same time, residents and communities in the Joppa Down community in Ayalpak have been allowed to enter the county as a private community. We can only request for a private facility. We cannot do that on our own. Joppa Down is providing all the necessary facilities that are suitable for the community. I received a message from the county that they have accepted our request. Only one part is required. This board. The Smart Growth Sub-Cabinet needs the approval of the local governments and the state for the most important applications for new applications and permanent applications. But if there is no approval, it can be stopped when the application for rehabilitation arrives. The blueprint is there. This was written 13 years ago. The responsibility is yours. You are the representatives of your constituencies. You have more time to do so. If you haven't done it now, it will be my first step in December. Thank you. Shubha Sayanam, Madam. Name and PIN number.
Hi, my name is Linda Steenflint. Welcome. So, I will continue.
PIN code, Madam. Excuse me. Your PIN code?
21,015. Thank you. And I will continue to support this non-discriminatory argument, because those of you who are working as sheriff deputies and school principals are still interested in serving in this council. You have contributed to the budgets that help your workplaces. You have worked to weaken the budget process and our county charter. There is a tradition that those who are responsible for the religious changes in your higher government and those who are trying to become one with others are the ones who are working for you. Posting videos of untruths one after the other during the initial election season was certainly not only religious but also a way of spreading information and items. Since you have to protect the rights of the first generation of the Vedas against you, you are not doing anything to protect peace or create a safe environment when you insult people by posting in the social media. Yes, you are fighting to keep up your resistance and defend your position. Even though I have told you that I respect you for standing strong, I am not asking you to do so. This is not a peace of mind, nor is it religious, especially when you are here knowing that public health reports have to be filed in the evening and that they cannot be closed. If I do that, my Malina Jala will close the water bills. And it is certainly not a selfish act. The teachers are not included in the county council because it is also an interest issue. Because you are getting money from Harford County Public Schools. The money you vote for. Do you know, sometimes you always had an interest in something, and there you were not aware that you were a teacher or a member of the county council. When I explain your position, I still believe that your opinions are still an interest. Everyone, do you know, last year when you tried to pass some bills that were not good for Harford County, it made it very difficult. Thank you. We always had a strong councilman for Harford County. We are making a new decision. I'm trying to make sure that the right people who serve the county are making the right decisions. All of you haven't been coming back in the last two months. Okay, one side can come back, the other side won't come back. Voters will decide that. But make sure that they are staying in their district. Make sure that there is no licensing problem in the place where there is no lobby. The last election season was very disappointing. Some of you are very bad. But what we have to ask is that you should not try to destroy our county in this council for the past few months. Voters who are acting against our county executive will not serve you well. Thank you.
Good evening, sir. Name and pin number.
Matthew Brown, 21,015. Hello, everyone. This is a return to the formula. I think you have gained some experience there. But for the past two months, I have to talk about something. That is the purpose of the grandstanding. In local, national, and national states, the national grandstanding has changed to a normal one. I have seen many times that our councillor has decided to stand alone from the things that are happening in Annapolis. The items that have nothing to do with Annapolis have been completely removed. In fact, when we talk about Annapolis, let's look at the items. Because of some rising water issues, I was at the Greenridge United Against Water presentation tonight. Everyone was focused on what Congress was doing. Congress has nothing to do with Congress. It is Annapolis. In Annapolis, this is a board of Democrats and Republicans. Instead of allowing a flat throughout the state, it decided to move from the community to the community. Because they did not want to spend money throughout the state. That's why we are giving money to other parts of the country. As a way of trying to reduce the cost of living in one place, you have made it expensive everywhere. Everything has increased by about $10-$20 from $10-$20 to $50-$60. There are 10 Republicans and 20 Democrats in this election committee. Remember, there are 53 Republicans there. That is, 20% of the Democrats and about 14% of the Democrats. I'm not saying it's not to blame both sides. I'm just saying that they should investigate that they are our nationalists. One of the people in that committee is our own Jason Gale. Do you have any problems with your water? Stop arguing with the council. Talk to your representative of the state. There are problems that the council can handle. There are problems that the state can handle. But stealing names blindly, running parties directly to the people, not doing anything other than raising more anger. You need clear solutions. You can find people who can provide you with clear solutions. There is a job for a big county council in Oduville. They will do as much work as they can. But when things are implemented in Oduville, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed, when a law is passed In the case of our school board, they are directly below the state. Each school board in Maryland is under state authority, that is, it is not a state-owned institution. Second, you have to comply with the laws of the County Charter of the State of Baranagadana, because it violates the county and the Federal Baranagadana of the State of Baranagadana. Everything is a government system. There is a way for everything. If you use the system, it is completely your right. But if it is implemented in this way, it does not mean that you should continue to beat a dead horse. Finally, in the case of political discussions or opinion debates, it is not that you are saying who you are unknowingly from the government to protect yourself, but to protect yourself from the negative effects in your local community. That is, how many people are now accepting the individuality of a person who tried to maintain a life on Cromhill Road? Thank you.
Mr. President, there are no more speakers.
Thank you. 16 things from the Council. Mr. Robert, I think we will start with you this evening. Okay.
I might be short on time because we were busy during the pandemic or because I wasn't busy during the pandemic. I would like to say that I have participated in many important events and ribbon-cuttings within the Fortify community. The Maryland Wellness New Harford County office provides a lot of mental health services to the community. They accept medical assistance. They also help people up to 4 years of age. So it is difficult to find therapists who go to that age. So they accept families. They feel that there is no waiting list. And so it is there. I was lucky to be able to take part in the film of Freedom of Expression. I was happy. It was a good experience as a co-operator and as a worker. I visited the Chrome Hill Solar Site during the Venal period. And I and my friends went there. Oh, it was a very unbelievable experience. I have asked the other representatives on my side. Likewise, I talked to Congress and tried to encourage the Governor to come as part of a tour. I believe that the sighting and visualisation of the site will help you to understand what you have done. In the future, people will make some changes to some of the previous laws. And now, there are no safety measures or restrictions for solar farms. I think it should be like that. And I said very clearly that I am trying to work with those people. I also participated in the community meeting held at the Joppa Down Library about the Maland Solar Farm. The Joppa Down Library was full. We had to be in a school. We had to go somewhere else. And it was full. The community talked. I believe that the DEC meetings will definitely be full this time. But the community meetings, you know, the salesmen didn't really understand what they were talking about. We went around there for a while. They didn't know how to answer the questions that were going on. And there was one gunpowder bush waterways advocacy group meeting when I was in my early days. And Debbie took part. We are still looking at how Amtrak, rivers, and bridges will be. We are still looking at the high difference that boats can go under water. And in the next week, I was able to give a speech to Mrs. Eleanor Norma Jones. Um, they are 100 years old. They will be a part of the Century Club. When I went to take a photo, she said, I will do it for me. I said, okay, Miss Jones, you are 100 years old. That's a snake. You can do it yourself. Very beautiful, sweet woman. Um, the next day I was 19. The Bishop of Leicester gave a speech at the Fruitful Living Christian Centre where the pastoral services were held this year. Also, I took part in the Harford County Public School celebrations at Ayer Elementary yesterday. Also, the talking bus was amazing. This is amazing and it is definitely different for the children. Also, yesterday evening I went to the Voice of Hope Overdose Awareness Vigil. Also, it was at Edgewood. Also, it was at Recreational Centre. Also, I wish everyone a good, safe, and happy new year.
Thank you, Ms. Robert, Mr. Penman, and thank you, Mr. President. I'll be very brief. And I'm happy to be back. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Oh! Thank you, Mr. Pernal. Thank you, Mr. John Jordan. Thank you, Council President.
There have been many grand openings during this time of year, but the meeting for the Red Pump Crescent Project is a great success in this region. Also, the meeting for Forest Hill Solar and Councilman Riley. Before that, it was in Cromhill. But this is something that we looked at in 2019 by the Council President himself. A solar farm was coming to Fielderhof in 136, which we did not allow. They went to the PSC Commission and rejected it. Now everything has changed in Annapolis and they are regulating all this. I think I read something like 26 of their solar farms in 42. To accept this, they run their dogs, cats and shows everywhere. This is one of the things they have to do. So, I don't know what to do. I expect that they can do anything. But they are looking at it. But it is destroying a lot of land. It may be a few horse farms. It may be a few ordinary farms. But a little while ago, the horse-breeding industry collapsed here. So, you know, people are going to look at how they will get their property and how they will get money. It is difficult for these people to pay $6,000 per acre. Anyway, thank you, Council President. Thank you, Mr. Reilly. Yes, I will say it briefly. No objections.
Let's sit here for a few minutes. Thank you, Mr. Dallas.
Thank you. I hope everyone had a great spring. I hope everyone will have a happy and healthy school year. Thank you. Thank you.
Hello, good evening. I am happy to be with you all this evening. I would like to say a few things. Firstly, I would like to wish all our students, their families, and the people working in schools, the first week of school. I arrived at work at 6 in the morning today. I have not reached home yet. But you know, that is the energy that comes first when you all get ready. During this pandemic, I was very busy. I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in the legal process, and I was very active in I helped CET Councilman David Glenn to start the process of removing a fence near the Little League Field near the capital of the Havre de Grace. We have started to work slowly with DILP. We expect that the fence will be removed immediately. I am very happy to help Councilman Glenn in this. And I think it is important. Mr. Bennett, thank you.
On the 17th birthday of the President, I also want to celebrate the first two days of our children's return to school. I expect that they will be one year old. Also, I expect that this will be a very productive year for all our children, including teachers, staff, and administrators. One thing I learned immediately after joining this council is that you need to support the council for different things other than your council members. I am very grateful to Rifkin, Wiener and Livingstone for the last 21-22 months. They have worked with the council for the last 8, 9 and 10 years. Alan Rifkin, Michael Berman, Stuart Cherry. Mr. Beck, thank you for your comment this evening. Mr. Overbay, do you know about Mr. Beck's request? I know about the request of the dedicated Sustira community. But I don't know about the adage that has been attached. Okay. I haven't seen anything so far. That's why I'm asking the question. We haven't received anything so far. So, your answer is Mr. Beck. We haven't seen anything so far. Okay. And along with that, we will postpone this meeting. Thank you. Boom.
