Alternate, Alex Bannister. Is that a nomination, Mr. Mayor? That's his pick. Right. I don't know if it was appropriate to second at this point. we're discussing or you're listing people?
Was that a motion, I guess, is what I'm asking. Well, so, go ahead.

Okay,
Okay, so you've got the preferencing here. We've got a couple of options. We could follow the guidance of the preferencing, or we could come in and nominate someone else. Correct. That'd be correct? Okay. Yes, ma'am. So regarding Board of Adjustment, anyone have comment, motion?
Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion for the four that are referenced there, and then we can talk about an alternate for the other spot. That would be Sam Franklin moving from alternate to full-time, Elmer Corbin moving from alternate to full-time, and Tanya Dangerfield and Deanna Kirkendall being reappointed.
We have a motion by Councilman Beller and a second by Councilwoman Feltus. Is there any discussion? Mr. Jones?
I was just going to say, I don't have any opposition. It's just a couple of them have attendance problems. Have we talked to them?
Yeah, I talked to Tonya Dangerfield. She is interested in continuing. I will tell you, I'm probably been one of the most outspoken when it comes to attendance. I think we have a problem across all of the boards with this. It's hard to really kind of pick out certain ones this year. What I would ask is that anyone that is leading these boards, let's reiterate the requirements on attendance because You know, we haven't been as lenient in the past, but as we go through the packet, you will see several boards with a lot of huge attendance issues.
And this is one that, you know, it doesn't meet every month. It meets on months as needed. And that gets a little tough for people. And I'm not making excuses, but I'm just making an observation. And so that both Tanya and Dina, in my estimation, are committed to the city and I would hope and candidly expect better. But I'm fine with the nomination.
Any other comments? Okay, we have a motion by Councilman Beller, second by Councilwoman Feltus. Is there any more discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign. Okay. Board of Adjustment is set. Mr. Mayor. Alternate. I'm sorry.
Mr. Howes, let me ask you regarding the timing on the appointments of alternates. Do we need to do that at this moment, or is that something we can do during the course of a year? If we're not prepared, we may be prepared to do that.
I wanted to nominate Dominique Jones. I think she had a really impressive interview. I thought she might be a good fit for this board.
Okay. I'll second that. And I didn't have her on my preferences, so that gives her three, according to our sheet.
Yes. I said regular, but it's just the extended alternate. In this new term, yeah, the extended alternate.
So we have one to appoint. Right. And we have a motion by Councilman Beller, seconded by... Councilwoman Feltus.
First by Jones and then second by Beller.
Feltus, Beller. Okay. For Dominique Jones. For Dominique Jones as to serve as an alternate. Thank you. Any discussion on Dominique Jones? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign. Okay. Now we're through with report of adjustment.
All right, this building and standards, do we have any comments, motions?
Yeah, I'd like to pull Logan Call off. He wants to be on planning and zoning.
And I would make an observation that Brett Amundson does not appear to be expired. He's listed as an additional preference, so I don't think we need to take any action to let him continue, but he would not be a person as an alternate. So it appears as though we've got Fangio who's eligible. And I'll make a nomination if it's okay, Mr. Mayor. If not, I'll wait. But for Joe Massey to be the alternate instead of Logan Call on this. Joe's a smart guy. He did interview. He is a banker, a little bit of a renaissance man, but he's a smart guy. I'd like to get him involved.
And I'd like to make a motion for Embrenida Dozart just to break up the testosterone just a little bit on this board. We need some representation. So she's the only female applicant here. I think it would be nice to, but she's also served the city in other capacities and has done very well. Obviously continues to come back because she has a desire to serve.
I'm sorry about this. We're calling audibles here, but Logan is an alternate. We're pulling him, but then we have Chantel as a vacancy for a full-time member. I think Ryan Fenton, who's the current alternate, should move up to Chantel's, and that leaves us with two alternates if we do that. That's just a discussion point.
So is there a motion for Ryan Fenton to move up as a permanent member?
I'll make that motion as well as keeping Mark Fangio for another term, and then that leaves us only with the two alternate positions, Mr. Mayor. I'll second that.
Okay, I have a motion by Councilman Cloutier to move Ryan Fenton up as a permanent member and Mark Fangio staying on.
But then we're doing these, then we're going to do the two alternates. Come back and do that.
So I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign. Okay. Now, alternates for building and standards.
I think we had said Joe Massey and Dr. Dozart. Correct. I'm happy to make that motion. Dr. Feltz, if you want to second it.
I have a motion. I have a motion. Which one have you wanted? Councilman Cloutier, motion. Second by Councilwoman Feltus for Dr. Dosart and Joe Massey to serve as alternates on building and standards. Any discussion? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign. That is approved.
Mayor, this next one is the one that we appointed earlier this year. I'll make a motion to just reappoint the same slate. I'll second. Second.
I have a motion by Councilman Beller to approve the capital C-I-A-C committee as recommended. John Reedy, Brian Hazelwood, Ben Montgomery, second by Councilman Jones. Yes. Councilman Jones, is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign. All right. Moving right along.
On this one, all four are eligible for reappointment. I'll make a motion that we reappoint those four. I'll second.
Motion by Councilman Beller to reappoint four members to the Community Grants Advisory Commission. Second by Mayor Pro Tem Franklin. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. All those opposed, same sign. That motion is approved. Community Grants Advisory Commission is... Mr. Tarver would stay as the alternate.
Okay, Historic Preservation Advisory Board.
well that dimmed the lights you know we've got and I haven't talked to anybody on here but Mr. West has termed out but I see him as a nomination Betty's been termed out I see her as a nomination for continuing alternate um I Brian Wyatt seemed to be I think he's ready to move up um I don't have any objection to that. I think that's great. I'd like for there to be some consideration of the people on the right to Valerie Kirby and Kim Black for this board. That's just a comment, not a motion.
Tom Pence is also termed out but listed three times as a nomination, so we've got a lot of that.
Well, Tom Pence is not nominated because you have Brian Wyatt in his place there, right? He's listed over there, yeah. Yeah, so...
I'll nominate Betty Pitt-Kyzik to move onto the board.
I think maybe, did she want to stay an alternate last time? I think there was a reason. She was termed out, but there was a reason she was an alternate.
We were transitioning to the CLG, the Certified Local Government status, and needed some longevity in terms of the representation on that board, and she's served very, very well. You're the liaison, correct? Are you a liaison?
I am a liaison. I think... It's me and Rick. She's ready to move off is my perception. I love her like everybody does. But, you know, I know she's talked to the people who are looking to come on and has said she's willing to coach them up. So my preference would be that You know, we've got two alternates that we, you know, we moved Brian up into Tom's place. Tom did not reapply. And that leaves us with, I don't think Mr. West reapplied either.
I do have a question because there are certain components we have to have in terms of representation on that board, correct? When it comes to real estate or architecture. Yes. Can you speak to that a little bit?
Let me do this. Let me withdraw the motion that I made for Betty, but just to kind of start a reset here.
There is one consideration as well. We've got one person who's at a 37% attendance rate, and on a board that's sought after where we have a lot of moving pieces, I am actually going to make a motion that we consider replacing that member, and that allows someone else to step up because we've got a lot of folks who I know would put the time in. That's significantly lower. I mean, that's at the lowest end of what we see in terms of attendance rates. It is.
And it's a shame because she's so qualified.
She's very, very good. But if there's not a time commitment there, I think it's only fair that we've got a lot of great talent listed right there on that right side. I think we need to replace that person.
Is this board meet as needed or is it a regular? Regular.
And this is the second year that we've had similar.
Okay. So is that a motion? Yes. To remove Kimberly Wolf? I have a motion by Councilwoman Feltus and a second by Mayor Pro Tem Franklin. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign. That motion carries. Okay, we've got a number of...
I'm going to take a small bite at the apple, Mr. Mayor, and say... I'd like to nominate Brian Wyatt to move up. I'd like to re-nominate James West because he is an architect and I know he'll serve even though he didn't apply, but we need that position on here. And then nominate Lisa Hammett to continue. So respectfully, I'll make the nomination that we do those three.
We have a motion by Councilman Cloutier to move Brian Wyatt up to permanent position, reappoint James West, and reappoint Lisa Hammett. I'll second that. Second by Councilman Beller. Any discussion? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign. That motion carries. Okay, we are down to an alternate.
And one full-time. Two alternates the way I see it if we replace Betty's. And one full-time. And one full-time, which is Kimberly.
Just provide a few thoughts. One, I know Tom Pence is technically termed out. I think he's done a phenomenal job on this board. He is a really, he gets down to the granular level on every one of these cases. That kind of person who grinds on a board like this, I think is necessary. So I would still like for us to consider placing him along with Kim Black and Barbara Kelly, who's also just a sharp, sharp person.
Is that a motion? That's a motion. We've got Barbara. Barbara's on a different board. Community Grants. Community Grants. We've already done that one. She asked to stay on that, I remember. I would edit that and say Valerie Kirby seemed to me to be the person who really wanted it. She lives there, runs that crowd. I think she'd be a good alternate on this board.
Runs with that crown. Is that like a criteria you have? It's a qualification.
It's a benefit, yeah. So we're going to have to apply for a waiver then? Because we don't have enough professionals then on this board. Can't we just call them historians?
We need one permanent and one alternate. Right. Permanent and two alternates.
Two alternates. Two alternate. I'll nominate Kim Black to be the... Permanent member and Valerie Kirby is one alternate.
Do we put Tom back on? Yeah. Okay. We did put Tom back on as an alternate.
I'd like them to be full. Where are we at?
Empress, can you read those that we've put on there? Maybe we can come back and do another alternate later, Mr. Mayor, if that's the case.
If you do Tom with one more year in Kimberly's spot and then do Kirby and Black as the two alternates, then that would fill them all. I'll make the motion for Tom Pence to be put into Kimberly-Wolf's spot. for Kim Black to be put in Brian Wyatt's spot and Valerie Kirby to be put in Betty Pick Isaac's spot. I'll second that if that's a motion.
Okay, we have a motion by Councilman Beller to appoint Tom Pence as a permanent member, Kim Black as an alternate, and Valerie Kirby as an alternate. Second by Councilman Cloutier. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign. Thank you.
Mr. Mayor, our next one is the Library Board. I'm going to make a motion for Beth Beck and Michelle Buggs to be reappointed, and I'm going to let somebody else tell me on the other one after that.
I'd like to have a motion by Councilman Beller to reappoint Beth Beck And Michelle Buggs to the Library Advisory Board in a second.
And then also move Larry up to... We have a member who's got 28.6% attendance, so I'd like to move Larry up to that position.
You want to add that to your motion? Beth Beck reappointed, Michelle Buggs reappointed, and Larry replacing Catherine Kelly. I'll second that.
I have a motion by Councilman Beller to approve Beth Beck, Michelle Buggs, Larry Pereira as permanent members of the Library Advisory Board.
And that leaves an alternate spot open now.
And I second it. Seconded by Councilman Cloutier. May have some discussion. Hold on one second.
I'm just saying, we still have an alternate to do.
Well, are we discussing? Betsy Chan would be my pick for alternate.
Oh, so let's, I thought. Hold on. Hold on. I can include it in my motion. We have a motion and a second on the.
Oh, sorry. We have a motion that's second on everything but the alternate. So the motion is.
Okay. Yeah, just with the, there is a situation where one of the board members, the mayor is aware of. I mean, I don't know. At this time, should we be promoting them to a full spot?
Okay, we're going to skip over this board.
Very good. We're going to hold our advisory board in TBD. Next up is McKinney Armed Services Memorial Board.
Mr. Mayor, Guy Green is termed out, so we have Melissa Simmons moving up, Paul Hoke and Jerry Blow both renewing, and then I would include in my nomination moving Shalise Tillman into the alternate position.
Okay, I have a motion by Councilman Cloutier to reappoint Melissa Simmons, Paul Hoke, and Jerry Blow as permanent members of the McKinney Armed Services Memorial Board and Chalice Tillman as the alternate to that board. Any discussion? Please catch up. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. That motion is approved. Next board. McKinney Arts Commission.
Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion for the three that we all agreed on, Nicole Harris, Angela Richardson-Woods, and Nick Cagle. That's moving Nicole from an alternate up to the full term.
Okay. I'll second that. I have a motion by Councilman Beller to appoint Nicola Harris, Angie Richardson-Woods, and Nick Cagle as permanent members of the McKinney Arts Commission. Second by Councilman Cloutier. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. Okay. Those members are approved. Do we have a nomination for alternate?
You know, Ashley Babcock has two votes, like to see her get on a board, so I'm happy to make that nomination.
I have a motion by Councilman Flutie to appoint Ashley Babcock as alternate to McKinney Arts Commission and a second by Councilwoman Feltus. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. McKinney Arts Commission is set.
authority. I'll make the nomination to renominate all three. I know Allison had, you know, poor attendance, but I'd like to give her another shot at it. She's awfully passionate about this, and so my nomination would be to renew these three, Allison Taha and Andrea Knaff.
I have a motion by Councilman Cloutier to reappoint Allison Monroe, Taha Ansari, and Andrea Knaff. I'll second. Second by Mayor Pro Tem Franklin. Is there any discussion?
Can I make another observation? We've got another one that has a 37.5% attendance rate.
That's a tough one because you have to have a resident representative. Oh, sorry.
You're good? Okay. We have a motion and a second to reappoint Allison Monroe, Taha Ansari, Andrea Knaff to McKinney Housing Authority. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign. Housing Authority is set.
Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion to move Eric Fleming to a full position, to reappoint Tyler Underwood, and to reappoint Lisa Emery. And I'll leave that open if someone wants to suggest an alternate to fill, or we can just vote on that.
We have our top nomination for an additional member, Ranjith.
Ranjith is on there, and I don't think he reapplied. Term limited. Oh, gotcha. Tyler reapplied and has to stay on.
Why don't we do the motion for those three and then narrow down the scope of what we're doing. We have a motion by Councilman Beller to reappoint Eric Fleming, Tyler Underwood, and Lisa Emery to the Housing Finance Corporation Board. Second by...
I think Councilman Feltus, but I'm not sure.
Councilwoman Feltus, thank you. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign. Okay, we are down to an alternate for McKinney Housing Finance Corporation.
There's not strong feelings. I remember Molnar. I remember... Shannon Dyer, that's who I... Shannon Dyer, and I remember Shazan. I think all three of them would be... excellent to find a spot for. So I'm fine with any of those.
So Lynn Mollner had a, has a background with the federal government, so she might be a good fit.
Well, Sewer's already on there, so I don't know how she got on there. She may have been a mid, yeah.
Oh, Chindana's already on there. I'll make the nomination on Lynn Molnar.
We have a motion by Councilman Cloutier to appoint Lynn Molnar as the alternate to McKinney Housing Finance Corporation. Second by Councilman Beller. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. Okay. Housing Finance Corporation is second.
Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion to move Carina Velez up to the full position, the vacant full position, and reappoint Michael Buchanan, Lauren Smith, and Jim Schwalz, and then we can talk about the other one. But I'll make my motion.
I'll second that. Councilman Beller, the first name you mentioned was who?
Motion by Councilman Beller to appoint Karina Velas, Michael Buchanan, Lauren Smith, and Jim Swalls to the McKinney Main Street Board. Second by Councilman Cloutier. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed? All right. That motion carries. We are down to an alternate.
I would say I'd like to... nominate John Tedesco. He's been very involved. He's part of the team there at Kimley Horn that's building the big new building down there. I think he'd make a great addition as someone who's a tenant downtown. I'll second that.
Councilman Cloutier, was that a motion or a comment? Yes, sir, it was. We have a motion to appoint John Tedesco as the alternate to McKinney Main Street Board. Do we have a second? Second by Councilman Beller. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign. Okay. Main Street Board is set.
Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion that we move up Lauren Halsey and Brian Wellnack from alternate positions to full positions and reappoint Todd Burton and Muhammad Elhendi into their same positions as was referenced. Then we can talk about the others.
Your motion is to appoint Lauren Halsey, Brian Wellnack, Todd Burton, and Muhammad as full members to that board? Yes. And then second by Councilman Cloutier. Yes. Any discussion? Anybody? Dr. Feltus, you good? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. Okay, we're down to an alternate for...
I'd love to see Aubrey Coleman become one of the two alternates.
I'd like to throw another name out there, Taryn Bolton, as an alternate.
She is an alternate on visit. Is she not happy there? Because she does a great job there on visit. It would be a swap. Okay, but that's what you want to do? Because we'd have to go, we'd have to, okay. Okay.
So that would be a motion for one of the alternates.
Oh, okay. Kathy wanted on visit. Oh, she did? Yeah. I would say, since Taryn has some seniority, put her the one with the two-year term and put Aubrey's the one with the one-year term. Are you okay with that, Mr. Mayor? Yes. Okay.
So the motion is to appoint Taryn Bolton to the two-year alternate term. And the one your alternate was? Aubrey Coleman. Aubrey Coleman. The motion is by Councilman Ploutier.
I'll second. Councilman Lynch, we have a second. He did second, I'll second. Yeah, Councilman Lynch did. I think we've all seconded. This is comedy hour down on this end of the table. So we have a motion by Councilman Cloutier, second by Councilman Lynch on the two alternate spots, one for Taryn Bolton and one for Aubrey Coleman on Parks and Rec. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign. Parks and Rec is finished.
I'd like to throw a name out there, Logan Call, to be on the Planning and Zoning Commission. What was that? Logan? Yeah, that's fine.
I'd like to see the two alternates move up. They've both done a great job. But, you know, for me, if Logan became one of the alternates, that'd be great. But I'm certainly happy to be talked down from that tree if that's what we want to do.
I'm fully in support of Logan moving on this board as well. Great job.
All right. So we have a motion by Councilman Cloutier.
My motion would be to move the two alternates up and put Logan on as one of the alternates and then further discuss a second alternate. What about Gina? Would you want to reappoint Gina? Oh, we'd reappoint Gina. I'm sorry. Okay.
We had Shane Ozzie coming off the veterans. Did he come off? Yeah, he was... I think he did.
Maybe he didn't. See, I remember him not being up yet, and so... Maybe that's right.
But he got three nods on this one, so...
Yeah, if you look at it, he was not up yet, even though I know he reapplied, but we didn't fill that position, so he's still on there. I'm just going to be quiet down here. So my nomination would stand, though, with Gina, Muhammad, and Tim all as full-time members, making Logan one of the two alternates.
I have a motion by Councilman Cloutier to appoint Gina Hammack, Muhammad Qasim, Tim McWilliams as full-time members of P&G and Logan Call as the two-year alternate? Yes, sir. Do you have a one-year alternate?
I don't. I thought we could come back on that one if that's okay.
All right. So I have a motion and a second by Mayor Pro Tem Franklin. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. We're down to one alternate on B and Z. I mean, I really like Shane.
We'd have to come back on armed services if we did that. He can serve on- Okay. He can? I think so. What about Ben Montgomery? Can he, Mr. Houser? Okay, if he can serve on both, I'm cool with that.
All right. Emperor said we've done put Ben Montgomery anywhere. He's on the capital improvements. Okay.
Okay, so we've determined that Shane Osi can serve on armed forces services. and then as an alternate of P&Z.
Okay. And this will put him up for both at the end of this year.
So do we have a motion to appoint Shane Ose as the one-year alternate member of P&Z? I'll make that motion. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Franklin. I'll second. Second by Councilman Beller. Any discussion? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. Okay, P&Z is set.
Mr. Mayor, on visit with... Taren Bolton being moved to Parks, I would make a motion for Kathy Blank to fill the full term up there, Keith Gall and Brian Medina to be reappointed. I'll second.
A motion by Councilman Beller to appoint Kathy Blank, Keith Gall, and Brian Medina as regular members of Visit McKinney Board.
Councilman Ploutier, second. Any discussion? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. We are down to an alternate.
We need to fill Katie Scott's position on here since she was moved to C. We do need to fill Katie Scott's. Oh, my goodness.
Get out your books. And we shared, will be a full member on this board versus being an alternate on parks and rec.
I'm going back through all my stuff, so.
I don't know. There is one person that I really wanted to see placed on a board. I would love to get thoughts on placement for this particular board. But it was Angelia Farnell, who was a retired military lady from DC. Oh, yeah. She was an extremely impressive. Yeah, I agree. Extremely impressive. So I think she might be a good fit just about anywhere, is willing to serve anywhere. So I'd like to put her name up. Which one is she?
Or actually we need a member. Dr. Feltz, the name you just mentioned, is that?
Would that be in motion? You're moving on that? Yes. I'll second that, and that's for the Katie Scott full-time position.
I have a motion by Councilwoman Feltus to appoint... Angelia. Angelia Farnell to, as a full-time member of Visit McKinney Board, I have a second by Councilman Cloutier. Is there any discussion? Alternate, right?
No, she's doing Katie Scott's position. Okay.
Do we have currently Kathy as the alternate?
No, she moved into permanent. Gotcha. I think we're ready to vote, Mr. Mayor.
On that, we have a motion by Councilwoman Feltus and a second by Councilman Cloutier. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. That motion carries. Then we need an alternate.
You know, I'm going to call an audible here. I wouldn't mind deferring this. It's important because Katie's been on that board for a long time. She's the chair. Their executive director just took another position in the city. I'd like to maybe see if we can take a week or two or three to come up with a second alternate to make sure we get the right person. Is that okay with you, Mr. Mayor?
That's fine. Ms. Drain, does that work for you? Thank you. Okay. Okay, TERS 1 and TERS 2, both of these need to be planning and zoning members.
I'd like to nominate James Craig. Are we nominating? James Craig.
This would be TERS 1. Mm-hmm. I will mention this. I was approached by both Jesse Conrad and Gina that they wanted it. I know James has spread very thin. Are you okay? Does James want it too? No, I was just... Jesse wants it. I'd say Jesse because I think he has some seniority and he'd be fully capable of doing this.
I'll second. I have a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Franklin to appoint Jesse Conrad to... The TERS 1 board and a second by Councilman Cloutier. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed, same sign. Okay. We'll now move to TERS 2.
Okay. Do we want to circle back to library?
I've approved an executive session. I need more information. That's okay.
So we're down to library and alternate for visit.
We're going to hold visit off for a few weeks, but library we may do today. Okay.
Mr. Hauser, do we want to go into executive now, or do... Take that back. We just did it. We did the second agenda item.
You already did the second one. We just did it.
We may come back and do library again. We're going to go into executive session.
It is 3.55. We're going to recess into executive session.
If you could go to library board, library advisory board, please. Perfect. Do we have... We have a motion on library advisory.
Mr. Mayor, I'd like to nominate Beth Beck and Michelle Buggs to stay on the board and also nominate Betty Pekasik as a new member of the library board.
Okay. We have a motion by Councilman Jones to appoint Beth Beck, Michelle Buggs, and Betty Pitkaisek as permanent members of the library board. I'll second.
Mr. Mayor, I believe that Betty is actually needing kind of a little bit of a break from what I understand. I could be wrong. I think Patrick Cloutier might have had some conversations with her as well. Betsy Chan was one that we interviewed who was really a dynamic woman who seemed really excited about the Library Board, so I'd like to consider her.
If you make that motion, I'll second that. I will. Do you want to pull your motion, Mr. Jones? Yes. I'll pull my motion back.
Okay, so we have a motion by Mayor, by who? Councilman Feltus. Councilman. Second here. Feltus to appoint Beth Beck, Betsy Chan, and Michelle Boggs to the Library Advisory Board, second by Councilman Cloutier.
All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign. Okay. That concludes our business today. We have one left that we're leaving open. For next week. Yeah. For some time. We're not sure.
Mr. Mayor, I have a motion that we adjourn the meeting.
No, we've got to go. We've got to go to executive session. We do have executive session, Section 551.0712, consultation with our attorney on any work session item, McKinney Charter Chapter, what is that, Mr. Grimes, 18? Right. With that, it is 418. We will recess into executive session.
I'd like to make a motion that we adjourn the meeting.
Second. Motion by Councilwoman Feltus. We adjourn the meeting. Second by Councilman Lynch. It is 451, and we're adjourned.
