Good evening. We're gonna call the special meeting to address our public hearings. To order at this time, we'll have our clerk read the roll.

We have one item up for public hearing and we'll have our clerk read in item number one.

Thank you. At this time, we're going to open up our public hearing. Seeing that we have no one here in chambers to speak in favor or against, we will close our public hearing. Councilman Kamer, what is the committee's pleasure?

Thank you, Madam President. I'd like to poll my committee for a favorable report with suspension of the rules. Connor?

Hannah? Aye. And myself, Kamer, aye. The committee's report is favorable, and we're asking to move forward.

Thank you. Any further comment, Councilman Kamer? Aye.

No, I'll just say that I know Jim from the planning department did a great job explaining why we're here and what we're doing and basically we're just moving forward to update and clean up this section of the UPD 13. With that, that's it.

Okay, thank you so much. Any other comments? Seeing and hearing none, the committee's report is favorable. All in favor signify by saying aye.

With nothing else coming before us, we will adjourn.
