“Thank you. So I just want to ask for clarification. I do have two deferrals, but the only thing that I'd like to defer would be the actual vote.

And so with the item for Wilson Boulevard, which I know there's lots of interest that has been expressed, we're deferring the first reading for this item because it's not had a town hall meeting. And that is the custom that I've held firm to in District 7. We will hold the town hall meeting for that particular item. on October the 14th at 6 p.m. at the Park Lane Adult Activity Center.
