“Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm just looking over our notes from our meeting last week where Councilman Henderson asked that item number 20260105 be withdrawn, and so I'll be making the motion on his behalf today to withdraw that. He also made a comment about item C, which is 20260106 to defer one week depending on the the turnout or the conversation that we have during the business meeting. Right. Okay. Thank you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chair. You know, I think the applicant had every intention of being here. I'm concerned that maybe they didn't recognize that we had a different meeting time. So I'd like for us to go ahead, since we do have the opposition here, to go ahead and allow them the opportunity to speak so we can get it on the record. And then I'll make a motion to defer it for one week. And if you all can come back next week, great. But if not, we at least have your comments on the record. Sure.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chair. We had a planning, zoning, and housing committee meeting today. This is our first with the new structure, and I think we had some great conversation. We took up some items that were already on the table. One is amendments, possible amendments to our ADU ordinance, and the other was taking a look at amending our business trade and occupations ordinance regarding vape shops. We ran out of time, but we still have a couple items to discuss. But one of the items that we did discuss at the end of our meeting was making sure that we're meeting the needs of all the council…”
