Common Council - Regular Meeting

After today, no one's counting. She's the one that told me that earlier. We live? Oh, we're live now. Council, are we ready? All right. Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the Tuesday, September 8th, 2026 City Council meeting. As always, we are streaming live and archiving these meetings for other viewing. And we would invite you to stand and recite the Lord's Prayer, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank you.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

Amen.

Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Okay.

Clerk, may we have a roll call, please?

Sure. Patrick Tevenow? Here. Carla Krebs? Here. Lucy DiTillo? Here. Josh Schaefer? Here. Joel Storm is absent. Jim Bartlett? Here. And Josh Wilber is absent.

Okay. Council, have you had an opportunity to review the minutes from Tuesday, August 18th? Seems like a long time ago, but it wasn't. So we'll entertain a motion to approve.

I will second that motion.

Any discussion? All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Thank you. And moving on, I'd like to present a proclamation recognizing U.S. Constitution Week. Normally I present this to DAR. Is there someone here from DAR? Oh, all right. Glenn, if I may read the proclamation, I'll hand it to you, okay? What's that? Yep, and it will come up here. I'll present it to you right there. This way I can read it without my glasses. I like that. I think I'll try, uh, this is constitution week proclamation. And I would just say that it's a special week because the anniversary of nine 11 is on Friday. So with that in mind, whereas September 17th, 2026 marks the 239th anniversary of the signing of the constitution, the United States of America at the constitutional convention, the celebration of the constitution was started by the daughters of the American revolution in 1955 to commemorate America's most important document. in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and in honor of the Constitution that established the framework of our national government and continues to protect the rights and freedoms of the American people, whereas for more than two centuries the Constitution has endured through times of challenge and change, reflecting the determination of generations of Americans to preserve the liberties, freedoms, and inalienable rights upon which our nation was founded, whereas the framers of the United States Constitution demonstrated remarkable foresight and a spirit of cooperation by working collectively to establish a durable framework of government that has endured for nearly two and a half centuries and continues to serve as the foundation of our nation's system of government. Whereas George Washington, who recognized the importance of the American people in our constitutional government, stated, the power under the Constitution will always be in the people. Whereas public law 915 guarantees issuing of a proclamation each year by the President of the United States, designating September 17th through the 23rd as Constitution Week, Now, therefore, I, Bob G. Courtney, Mayor of the City, do hereby proclaim September 17th through 23rd as Constitution Week in the City of Madison and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals of the framers of the Constitution and for all freedom-loving Americans to defend our Constitution against those who threaten our sacred constitutional freedom. So I'd like to present this to the Congress of American Revolution. Thank you so much for being here.

Appreciate it. Thank you.

On behalf of DAR, I want to thank Mayor Courtney for officially proclaiming Constitution Week, which is the 17th through the 23rd. And at that time, we want to recognize the Constitution and that we are now celebrating the 239th anniversary of its signing. I would also like to say that the Constitution serves as a foundation for American life and for our freedom. Thank you very much.

Okay, Council, we don't have a lengthy agenda for official business tonight, but we are having an important meeting. And right now, I think Mindy is on. But we do have, as our order of business tonight, Resolution 2026.13c. authorizing local match funds for public safety grant. The sponsor is Tim Bartlett, and this is a resolution of the Common Council of the City of Madison approving the matching funds for an NDOT grant regarding road improvements for Main Street. Mindy?

Good evening, Council. This is a simple resolution that's part of required documentation related to the federal highway safety grant that we received. I think it's been almost two years ago now. We are ready to move forward to the construction engineering phase of that project. So there's a contract that the mayor will need to sign. Just stating two things really in this regard. One, that we have the match money, and we do. It is in the Main Street Fund. We have a 10% match on this project. It's in your document, but I think it's about $66,000 and some change will be our match. And also that he will be given permission by you tonight to sign those documents and that we will comply with all of the requirements within their contract.

The council will catch all that.

Okay. I would say that this has been a great program that's been under design for application design for almost two years. But one way to look at this is we're getting almost $700,000 worth of safety improvements on Main Street, and the cost to the city is the 10% match. It's a good leveraging of our funds. So now we would entertain a motion to approve Resolution 2026-13C.

I move we approve Resolution 2026-13C as presented.

I second that.

Any discussion? Comments or questions? Please come to the podium. Okay.

Karen Skillman, 1505 Michigan Road. What will the modernizing traffic signals, what does that mean?

I don't know if you'll be able to hear Mindy, if she wants to respond to that, or I can, if you can hear me more clearly.

I'm happy to respond if you can hear me. Those will be all new traffic signals, which will just be modern. Ours are from the 60s, I believe, so these will be new, current, modern traffic signals. It will also upgrade and replace the crosswalk, the pedestrian crosswalk machines. Those will be audible crosswalks. We'll also upgrade the striping for the crosswalk and everything in that intersection. And that will take place at Mulberry and Main and also West and Main.

Did that answer your question? Were you able to hear that? It does. Okay.

It's the audible part I was concerned about.

You're concerned about it being audible?

Yeah, it won't be popular.

When we say audible, it's for a person with a hearing disability to be able to understand that they can walk across the street visually.

I know. But thank you all very much.

You're welcome. Well, we have to comply. When we use federal money like this, we have to comply with all the ADA accessibility rules, and that's one of them. You're welcome. Any other questions? Roll call, please.

Patrick Chabonneau? Yes. Carly Krebs? Yes. Lucy Dottillo? Yes. Josh Schaefer? Yes. Joel Storm Sapson? Jim Bartlett? Yes. Josh Wilbur Sapson?

Thank you, Council.

Thank you, Council.

I don't believe there are any reports or recommendations from standing or select committees, so we'll move into reports from city officials. If you recall, last May we adopted a vacant abandoned ordinance, and in there were reporting requirements. We gave a report today to the Board of Public Works and Safety, and I asked Dewey if he would do the same report for council tonight.

And he said yes.

Welcome.

Thank you. Yeah, just a couple of months ago, actually, I was before you, and we went through this, and it went very well today. So you're right, Mayor and I. or we decided to present again today, some updated numbers for you. A lot of progress, so thank you for that. We're going to start with unsafe structures, and I want to give a shout-out to Chris. Chris Layton, our building inspector, he has really grabbed a hold of the unsafe structures ordinance. Of course, it was on my plate for a long time, and the other building inspectors did as well, but Chris has really gotten into that, and you'll see by the numbers today So I hope I do justice to what his presentation is about. I'm sure this works. Currently there are 17 active unsafe structures in the city that we're working on. Four of those have recently been opened in the last few weeks. Eight of those are making progress through rehabilitation. One of those is in negotiations to sell. One has been sold at a tax deduction, and three lack any action or abatement plans at this point. Some of the active cases, and these are being worked on, both of these have motion going forward. A lot of this is, many of the new ones are from the tornado that came through mid-June. June 18th, I believe it is. The only reason I remember that date is because of my father's birthday. But this is a tree that was on McIntyre Street that's now been removed. And that is on East 2nd Street. The little building has some vegetation growing out of it and other things that is next to the larger building. The building down on Lincoln Avenue had the front facade fall out. I believe they were doing some work with a window. You're going to see a couple of those in the presentation, but I believe they were doing some work and the site came out, but they have established securing it there, as you can see. The picture on the right is what we would call an unsafe premises. There's a wall in the alleyway not far from us here on West Street. That picture really doesn't do it justice, but you can see perhaps a little bit it's leaning outward, and the fear is that that can collapse out into the alleyway and that's a busy is that hence alleyway I believe it is fountain I'm sorry um both of these were familiar with 631 Broadway Street the picture on the left actually is under new ownership still unsafe but we do have an abatement plan in place and we're familiar with the structure on the right no real updates at this point The picture on the left is the Trinity Fire. A lot of these came from the fires as well. We've had a number of fires in the last six months. That has been abated. I believe that garage is now removed and demoed, and the unsafe should be coming off of that. We're familiar with the fire at 776 as well. The picture on the left-hand side is up near the new – Early Learning Center on Orchard. Yeah, the GPS doesn't always catch up to my pictures, so it says Lanier Drive, but right, it's Orchard Street as you head back. Well, it's a dead end, right? There's only two residences there. There was a fire there as well, sat vacant for a long time, but it's still considered unsafe. There's actually quite a large hole in the roof on the back side. Structure to the right is right here on Main Street. The Scott Building, I believe, is the title of that area. This is the backside of that. Chris has told me that you can see a crack right about in the middle of the picture that's coming down. There's missing bricks. There are folks actually living in that building on the second floor. This is part of our PACE program, but also considered unsafe at this point. This is on Mulberry Street, back off of Mulberry. 611, I believe, is the actual address. So we're happy that this is being worked on. 921 Walnut, still not getting any movement here. A little frustrating that that is still considered an unsafe structure. Some of the closed cases, we're going to go through some before and afters. This is a lengthy thing, so I'll try and keep up the pace here for you. 18, and Chris is to, he's done the work on this, 18 cases have been closed since May 1st of this year. Five of those have been demolished. Seven have used our PACE program for rehabilitation purposes, and a total of 13 are being rehabilitated. So some before and afters. Pictures are a little stretched out. This is down near the police station on Fifth Street. The facade, this was also a window project, I believe, and the front facade fell out of that, and they took care of that rather rapidly. This is down near our city garage, considered an unsafe structure, and we got that brick replaced in the back corner. This is down on Elm Street. You can see the demolition happened. That picture doesn't do justice. We talked about that today as well. There's another picture that will come up in the vacant and abandoned stuff that does it a lot more justice. Yet another fire up on Van Buren near the park. They demoed that for us. They've cleaned that. Picture's a little bit old and ripe. They've cleaned that up now. Really a stunning transformation here just with the painting and other things that the – at the central, just really night and day. A couple of more fires here. This is on West 2nd Street near the antique shops or the antique shop down there across the street. This is up in the Tiger Lily area near Oak Hill, another fire, and we had them demo that. I don't move into vacant and abandoned structures.

I want to mention that, as you'll see, as Dewey gets into the second part, there's often a real correlation between unsafe and vacant and abandoned. And the vacant and abandoned has very specific guidelines as well as standards that we're trying to achieve. On the unsafe, what you can have is an occupied unsafe structure. It's not vacant and abandoned. so it doesn't so some of these unsafe properties don't fall under that ordinance but chris said this morning he felt like about 50 percent of the unsafe structures are occupied and so with that in mind we have to be even more diligent about the condition and the progression of the condition deteriorating condition of those structures because there may be someone occupying occupying the building and it gets really really hard when you know you you get to that stage because it's another layer of enforcement that you have to take in order to protect people as well as the surrounding properties.

Yeah. And that's kind of what this next slide goes into. Again, we looked at this a couple of months ago, but these issues must be dealt with because they pose fire and health risks as we've seen. They lower property values. deter investments, undermine revitalization projects, impose higher costs on taxpayers and public services, and really erode the overall quality of life in the community. Excuse me. Okay, this is the updated numbers I put together for you. Most telling is number five, but we've now opened 53 cases. Last time I was in front of you, I believe it was 51 or 50. 23 of those cases have voluntarily registered, meaning they've come in and registered and are not subject to any registration fees. We waive that in that case. 30 cases have been registered by myself and those are subject to a registration fee. Of the 23 voluntary cases, 16 have abatement plans, five of them do not, and two now meet our building standards. Also of the 33 registered cases, 23 have been sent notifications of being subject to registration fee. Three cases challenged our findings of being vacant and or abandoned. And four have had a change of ownership. Those owners have been notified of the vacant and abandoned status of the structure. In fact, had one come in today. Noncompliance penalties are being assessed on 25 of the properties when I was before you two months ago. It was just 14 so Enforcement is is happening there I'll go through these fairly quickly. We're familiar with these currently being assessed penalties here Kind of out of sight it's up being okay. Oh one of the cul-de-sacs up there But yep, no no movement here at all. Neither the prior this one. No movement. No movement No movement here. Originally, owner came in, thought that we were going to get together on a debatement plan. Did not happen. So all these are being assessed penalties. Same here, same story. Original talks and then just kind of fell through. McIntyre Street. Another picture of 921 Walnut. Here's both a success story. This is now under new ownership. An abatement plan has been put in place. Pace is being sought out and we will continue to monitor that for compliance. This is at North Walnut Street. There's a picture I was referring to earlier. You can kind of see the, I mean the, the North wall there is completely dilapidated. Roof structure is, is, is failing. Looking good here, next door to 709, 7 Elm Street. Really looking nice there. Currently registered under new ownership. Florida Broadway, 631 Broadway. This also is under new ownership. Abatement plan is in place, and so I'll continue to monitor to make sure that comes up to standards. 1132 West 2nd, down near the wastewater treatment. No movement here at all. Again, back to 776. We do have new ownership there as well. And some success stories. And we've gone through some of these before as well. 849 East Street, just as you're headed north prior to Ahlenbach. Left-hand side there, you can see the structure before. Demoed now, looking very good. This is quite a transformation, one that is... We're not completely there, but they are making progress. This, I believe, is also PACE, through the PACE program. So we're happy with that. Also on Walnut Street, rehabilitated structure.

Kind of clarification there.

Sure.

The house on the left was demolished, and then the greenhouse that was just to the north of the White House was rehabilitated. And the house to the right of it was also rehabilitated. So that block is looking really, really pretty. But not to confuse you, that white structure there was demolished.

Okay. This is on Jefferson Street across 421 there. That was an unsafe structure for many years that we've had demoed, or not recently. That's been down a while. This is up near the entrance to the state hospital. I'm very happy with that outcome. I think I share this in every presentation I give you there across from the dentist's office, corner of Jefferson and third. There were questions this morning from, from BPW. It is still a vacant structure, but it does meet our standards. So we don't, I am going to check into, there were some issues behind the structure. So I will look into that. That's on my calendar to do. But that structure itself, yes, vacant, but it does meet our standards of maintenance. Another incredible transformation. The first few weeks I moved here, I walked past that, and I think there were vultures in the one on the left-hand side. And then, again, looking very good on the right-hand side. Really good work here. West Main Street. We appreciate that. 705 Walnut again. Structure on the left not meeting standards. She's brought it up to that. This is before I got here. Mayor talked about this this morning. There was a fire in the frame structure. Right, Bob? The north one. I'm sorry, the north one. And now just a beautiful... Beautiful block there on Mulberry. Ms. Krebs brought this to my attention, so I continue to give her shout-outs when I show this. The picture on the left really doesn't do it justice, but that's the best picture I could get because you couldn't see the structure when I first came upon it. And roughly within six months, they transformed that. I told everyone they should be sitting down when they see this. So this is... This is 4th Street, and that's what it looked like the other day. Very proud of that outcome. That is all that I have for you. And shame on me I didn't change this to city council.

I was going to add that as you saw him scroll through that, brick historic structures, although they may be severely damaged, generally almost to the point of demolition by neglect, they can be brought back much better than a frame structure. And the ones that we've lost have been frame structures, but it's because they've been neglected for decades. And many of these vacant and abandoned homes that we're now addressing have been vacant and abandoned for decades, but didn't have an ordinance or a code enforcement officer or a plan. And what we're trying to do is just continue to engage with the public. If you own these properties, you have to have a plan. If you don't have a plan, we'll force a plan on you, unfortunately. But that's the progressive nature of we have a great program called the PACE program. We have Redevelopment Commission. We have other investors. Indiana Landmarks, for example, was highlighted in that last one. Their partnership with the city on that Custer Cosby House saved that structure because it was slowly degrading and becoming demolished by neglect. It had been sitting there for probably 20 plus years in a state of disrepair and gradually getting worse. So we're just trying to add that level of intervention that's required to save these properties, both downtown and on the hilltop. Our goal is never to have them demolished, but if that is the last resort for safety purposes, that may create an opportunity for a new structure to be built where it's at. But if you think about what we're going through here, we just showed you 52, we discussed 52 vacant and abandoned, and what was it? 17. 17 unsafe. So we're talking about 70 properties across our community that are in this condition, and there's more. There's more that's not on here. There's more that we have not registered on this report yet. A lot have come off because of the work that we're doing with the property owners, and that's the best way to achieve what we want. But we talk about some of our chronic problems, housing shortage. We talk about neighborhood revitalization, and we talk about public safety and property values a lot. And one way to address it all is to have good collaboration with property owners and not tolerate this type of ownership and essentially ask for accountability. And in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with that. We're making great progress with this.

Any questions for me? Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you to it. Yeah, more to come. And the level of penalties that are being assessed now is $30,000 approximately.

Do you want me to share that?

Sure. Cumulatively, yeah.

Cumulatively, so just the last. So we rolled these out, right? We didn't do all 52 at one time. I did probably a dozen, 10 the first time. And then 10 just because it's overwhelming. I have to be honest. There is a lot of work. It's a lot of work. So, so the last round of penalties I assessed when was north of $35,000. That was in July, August. So 90 days after that, we will still be penalties are assessed every 90 days. 90 days after that, those that weren't and those 35,000 again will be assessed more. Because it's the next 90 days without, unless there's action taken. We should make that clear. But so quickly, there is, you know, the assessed value is, yeah, it's growing.

And the, you know, as you were talking about, there's a lot of leniency in this ordinance. Meaning if you register the property, you don't pay a registration fee. If you make general improvements to the property to just achieve the minimum basic standards of maintenance, then you don't accrue any penalties. It's doing nothing that causes the cost of your ownership to increase, but it's also, as he pointed out earlier, cost to the city. The resources that is utilized for this program or this ordinance, for example, is a lot between the building inspector and between the code enforcement officer, mayor's office, building planning, Board of Public Works and Safety, city council, law enforcement, health department, it's on and on and on and on. All that could be avoided. And I'll leave you with this one remark, which is we all follow some revitalization sites. This one is true. It says, making the heart of your town more beautiful will positively impact every other facet of your community. And at the OCRA conference last week, had an opportunity to share with Lieutenant governor Beckwith and director Fred, uh, Glenn, as well as other communities about Madison and our, and these efforts to make our community more beautiful. And I think that's, it's, it's paramount. And when you give up on making your community beautiful, it'll quickly slide back into, um, having a lot more, uh, unmaintained properties, properties that you can't save. They're going to be demolished by neglect. And, uh, public a lot of public safety issues but so revitalizing our neighborhoods makes for a more vibrant Madison all right thank you very much we'll move on are there any were there any public comments signed up for Jim

Okay, I don't know if you all realize this, but next, well, I won't say exactly where, but one of my very close neighbors for years has had people in her house live for free just so it wouldn't be abandoned. And it gets old, y'all. They have to pay their utilities, but they pay no rent or anything else. And I'm sure that's not the only house around that that's going on. But I just wanted you all to be aware of that because I keep complaining, complaining, complaining about the house, afraid that things are going to fall on me. And it's just that's what they do. And it just transferred owners not very long ago. And that person who bought it is doing the same thing the other person had done. So I just wanted to see if you guys were aware of that going on, because it is.

If you report that to Dewey, then we'll look at the condition of the property. Thanks. Was there anybody else? Anybody else, Jim?

No, that was the only public comment.

Anybody here that want to say something on that? All right, I'll move on to Mayor's comments. I mentioned earlier during the reading of the proclamation that this Friday we will have a ceremony for the 25th anniversary date of the September 11th. And we'll have an organized ceremony, I believe at least at 8 a.m. at Lorenz Park. A couple of guest speakers and a remembrance of all the sacrifices that happened on that day as well as what it meant to our country and still means today. Also today we awarded bids for the owner-occupied rehab program. The city is working in partnership with OCRA. There are 20 houses that are getting rehabilitated through that $350,000 program. We awarded bids on nine, the first nine of those homes. So we're very grateful for all that. And like I said, there are still 11 homes that come after that that we're going through the process of with OKRA and our grant administrator, which is SERPC. On the CCMG front, that continues to progress. The 2026 one continues to progress, and we're working on the remaining streets. You're seeing a lot of activity on Craigmont and Crozier. We still have 3rd Street and North and South Broadway streets to do. Broadway southbound is fully open now, and hopefully this week, or not hopefully, but we're targeting... By the end of this week, to have the Broadway Fountain blessing us again with the water and the beauty of the Broadway Fountain, we ended up having to rewire the fountain and run new power to the new Duke energy source that's been replaced there from the fire. So that was a $10,000 expenditure we didn't expect, but we had to make that investment in order to get the fountain back operational. So expect that to happen by the end of the week. And I'll mention a couple other things, which is Friday's the last day of swimming at Crystal Beach. It's been an awesome season at Crystal Beach. Saturday there's a private party, and then on Sunday it's the dog days of summer, which is allowing the animals to kind of enjoy the pool before it gets closed and emptied and winterized. We do have a major festival this week. Unbroken Circle. I'm looking forward to that. There's been a year's worth of planning on that. Every city department is involved in the safety and organizing and essentially creating what I would think is the region's best venue for live music. So please get out and enjoy Unbroken Circle. And I'll let you mention where we're at on budget. Charlie.

Well, it's not prepared. So we've just got a couple of tweaks on budget. We've got everything entered into Key Fund. We've got everything entered into Gateway. And we're just trying to figure out the system's got a few glitches. It's a new platform that Gateway's given us. So I'm pretty confident that Bob and Mindy are going to help me again tomorrow. And we're going to do a little Zoom call where we can. I can share my screen and they'll help me fill that all in. I did reach out, Josh, I forgot until today, to reach out to DLGF to see what happens if by chance somebody does not get pulled in and I'm waiting for them to get back to me for gateway submissions. But in the meantime, yeah, we've got everything up and ready to go. It's looking really good.

Do you know, is the original budget book that we had, is that document the updated one or is there a different file?

There are, the book itself should be okay. What was mostly moved around were revenues. So tax levies, I black out every time that Bob starts to talk about these things, and I know they're words, but...

I drove my Chevy to levy once.

I tell you, I thank God for he and Mindy because they are over my head. So anyway, the tax levy, the revenue portions are just a little bit different. And circuit breakers.

There's an Excel file sheet that the book itself was made from. There's just a few minor... movements and numbers and we can share the actual Excel spreadsheet with you if you want to look at that.

And that was shared digitally before? Yes. The same copy that's been kept up to date?

Yes, so for the most part we adjusted the first round of little tweaks that we had to make. And they weren't really tweaks. It was things I had put into, like, Rutgers. I dropped it into Rutgers Fund, and they went in Park General. I mean, things like that. The numbers hadn't changed. It's just where I put the money. So those things are a little bit different from the original revenue sheet. It's just a one-page form at the, I think, the beginning of the book, the budget book. So Mindy's been updating those as we go along. And then tomorrow we're going to have a little meeting where the three of us are going to look at I can't share my screen any other way than to do a meeting, and I can't describe what I'm looking at in any other way. So we're going to wrap that up hopefully tomorrow.

When she wraps that up, that will create the publishing of the notice to taxpayers, and then we'll have the hearing for the 2027 budget and the first reading at the September 22nd council meeting, which is the next council meeting, and then we're totally on track for our October 6th adoption of the 2027 budget. You guys have any questions? Anything else to add or questions?

Are we just talking budget or just in general?

In general. Okay. Or budget.

No, I just wanted to mention, no, you had mentioned the CCMG projects currently going on, and I just wanted to make the announcement that the 3rd Street corridor will be done during the school fall break so people know to, you know, find alternate routes during that week. But that's the plan, right?

That's the plan. So Kristen is updating each week as we move on to a different area. So I think last week she had published Crozier and Craigmont. But, yes, that is the plan because to move down to third street is going to be complicated. It's a very narrow road. It's a very long stretch of road. And there's also an elementary school there. So we're trying to do that while they're on fall break.

And then the last thing was?

Least amount of disruption. It will be disruptive, but least amount of disruption.

Right, the signs on Hanging Rock Hill, just to remind people that we don't do Hanging Rock Hill. That's a state road. But did we get details on how long? Was that just a one-day closure?

I don't know. I haven't gotten on their website to look, but I can find out. Normally they publish what those closures are and how long they're going to be.

Because they've been very vague on their signs. It just says.

It's a 9-14 on or about 9-14. Right. Next Monday.

Okay, thank you.

So on or about next Monday, Hangerock Hill is going to close. But I'll get on their website and we'll see what they're saying about the length. I don't know if they're doing another slide repair or cleaning. It could be a number of things. Anything else, council? If not, we'll have a motion to adjourn.

I motion to adjourn the meeting.

All in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Thanks, everybody. Thank you all.
