“Thank you, sir. Dale Andre, please. Good evening. Mr. Mayor, is it possible if I could be the last person to speak? Sir, just sign the signing sheet. They'll bring it up to me. Thank you. Again, if anyone would like to sign up to register in public remarks, there is another signing sheet here by John. Please come forward and sign up. Good evening. Sorry.”
“THANK YOU. NEXT ON THE LIST, MICHELLE REEDEN. IF YOU JUST ARRIVED AND WANT TO REGISTER FOR PUBLIC REMARKS, THERE'S A SIGNING SHEET UP HERE IN THE FRONT. PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME TO THE LIST AND WE'LL RECOGNIZE YOU FOR THREE MINUTES. Michelle, good evening. Good to see you.”
“And just for folks who may have just joined, the items have been deferred at the request of the sponsor. So I know there's been a lot of ongoing conversation happening with the community. My expectation is that conversation will continue. And hopefully, if it comes back on May 19th with more support, we can consider at that point in time and move it forward or ultimately consider not adopting it. We'll see what happens at that point in time. But again, the goal, I think, is on the part, as I understand, of the developers to continue the conversation and see if they can get a point where…”

“But Michelle, I do want to be for again, because this condition of a three story condition against a single family neighborhood, given what we've done from a rezoning perspective is not atypical because we're trying to create a transition back down to the neighborhood. So again, so that I hear the people feel they're being put upon as a community. That language to me is nettlesome. And so what I would say is we just approved a project that had a similar transition on 62nd on the west side, right? So it's not just happening. These are edges. And we're trying to make sure that when the…”
“Thank you, Dill Travis. And Dill Travis on that project, again, remember, it was an RTZ project. So we unfortunately did not get to approve SOMI Phase 2. Diana Brown is next on the list. Again, if anyone else would like to sign up in public remarks, please come forward. I'll give you back this one so you can. Good evening.”
“Tana, before you go, can I ask, what segment is the worst?”

“Okay, fair enough. Thank you for that clarification.”
“Have a good evening. Thank you. Okay, is there anyone else who would like to address this commission in public remarks?”
“Okay, someone on Zoom. Patricia Thomas, you're recognized. Please unmute yourself.”
“Thank you for your comments. Madam Clerk, is there anyone else online?”
“And if there's anyone else in the chamber, please come forward at this time. Okay, seeing no one online and no one in the chamber, we will close public remarks and continue with the balance of the agenda. Is there a motion to adopt the minutes of April 21st, 2026? I'll move it. Is there a second? I'll second. Madam Clerk, if you can call the roll. We have a motion by Commissioner Bonnich and a second by Commissioner Rodriguez.”

“I think just for the next one, we can kind of add a note just to address that so we know when those folks, how many we have in the program and what the dates that they're rolling off.”
“And those would be onboarded as 51, 2, and 3? No, they're part of the count for 50.”
“Okay, so they're part of the count for 50. Okay, but they're not yet on patrol.”
“Understood. Any questions of the manager regarding the report?”

“Can I ask a question about that? They contacted George Frantz. Does it have to be to our LPA or theirs? I thought that was not delegated. I thought that was their province.”
“I just don't understand that response because they're technically the governing body, the county commission.”
“I don't understand. Again, I don't have any... I don't have any aversion to our planning board seeing it, but it just seems to me that we need to get our story straight.”
“I missed a call from George Fernandez, because they're a county commissioner still, but he called while I was in the meeting, so maybe we get a break, we can call him. It's not too late.”
