“And would that approval have conditions?”
“Not from the planning department. OK. Thank you so much. Is there anyone here to speak in favor of this item? These items? In favor of these items? Anyone to speak in favor of the rezone of these parcels? All right. Seeing no one in favor, now is there anyone in opposition? If you're in opposition, you can now step to the mic. Thank you. Thank you.”

“You've exhausted your time, Commissioner Terry. If we can get our voting screens back up so I can see if there's anyone else requesting to speak. All right. Commissioner Bolton has requested to speak.”
“Okay, thank you. I yield back. Thank you so much. Clarification, Commissioner Terry, are you requesting a second opportunity, or that's a hangover from your first one?”
“Well, technically, you're next because we're now on our second round, so you can go ahead and go.”
“All right. Is there a second for the motion to approve? Commissioners, is there a second for the motion to approve? Seeing no second, it does. I'm going to fail for lack of second, but I would like to continue the conversation because Commissioner Messiah has requested to speak.”
“One second, Commissioner. This is our second opportunity, if we can correct the clock.”
“Thank you, Commissioner Messiah. I see no further requests to speak. Please open the machine for a vote. Commissioner Bolton has requested to speak.”
“Yes. Yes, Commissioner Bolton, you hit the second button.”
“Do I need to take these separate or they're good together in a vote?”
“That's fine. Okay, thank you. I did read N10, yeah. So do I have all my? You're remissioning you, Commissioner Bolton.”
“Motion to approve carries. Thank you. Motion to reconsider with the other one.”
“Fair enough. Is there a second on her motion to reconsider? Do you need me to ask the law department? The law team, the question is who can make the motion to reconsider an item?”
“And also part of the question is, can we reconsider in a zoning situation?”

“Thank you, ma'am. Is there anyone else here to speak in opposition of the application? Anyone else to speak in opposition?”
“Thank you, ma'am. All right. Seeing no one else requesting to speak in opposition, applicant, you do have some time for rebuttal.”
“Is there a second? Seconded by Commissioner Terry. She was thinking.”
“Thank you, Commissioner Long-Spears. I see no further requests to speak. Please open the machine for the vote. Motion to defer carries. Our law department, did we have a ruling on the request?”
