Thank you, Ms. Garcia. Do we have any appointments to boards or commissions this evening? Thank you. Consideration of consent agenda, please.

Thank you, Ms. Garcia. I'm going to pull items number 6.2 and 6.3 from the consent agenda. Do we have any speakers for any of the remaining items on the consent agenda?

Thank you, ma'am. I have a motion from Council Member Hogg and a second from Council Member Gonzalez. Please cast your vote. The motion passes. We're going to go back to 6.2. I pulled that for separate consideration. Do we have any speakers on 6.2?

Thank you. Can I get a motion and a second on 6.2? I have a motion from Council Member Gonzalez and a second from Council Member Shelton. Please cast your vote. And the motion passes. 6.3, Ms. Garcia, do we have any speakers on 6.3? Spence, did you want to say something on 6.3? Molly's saying you did, so I'm assuming you did.

Thank you, sir. Ms. Garcia, no other speakers on 6.3? Thank you. Can I get a motion and a second, please? I have a motion from Council Member Pham, a second from Council Member Hunter. Please cast your vote. And the motion passes. We're going to move on down to item number 9.1, adoption of cost recovery policy for fiscal year 2027. Mr. Spencer Slider, come on back up.
