And this is just a reminder for commissioners, and I did a poor job of it two weeks ago, is to when we are speaking to remember to turn our mic microphones on. So, make sure the green is showing when we are speaking so that we can be recorded. We can all hear each other in this room, but when it goes back on recording, it's tough to pick up. So, just a friendly reminder. and consideration of the resolution of number 2026 PC-1 approving a conditional use permit for a daycare center on property addressed as 104 South 10th Street.

And Val for the December 2025 building permit report.

Okay. So December 2025, uh we had four new single family detach permits. So we are at seven as of this fiscal year, 11 last year. Uh no new duplexes. So we're essentially zero and zero for both years. Uh we did not have any new multifamily units come in. So we have zero this year and we had four totaling 166. That was foundry apartments that came in last December. Uh no new single family attached. So we're two units of this year, four last year. And there was a big jump last year between November and December because of foundry apartments. So we are almost 24 million less than last year for evaluation cuz all a foundry came in their accessory structures and three homes that same December um totaling over three and a half million for the valuations for those three homes. So that's kind of why we're lower this year.

Thank you Val. Any other open topics or concerns with the commission? Can I just remind people I did send out an email about the NPZA yesterday. So you have about a month to get back to me, but uh particularly new ones if you can make it to that Wednesday full day planning commission fundamentals. That's seems to be helpful. But anybody else can go to if you just want to go. Thank you, Val. There's no other discussion. I take a motion to adjurnn.

So move next two weeks. How you doing?

Good discussion.
