“All right. I'm going to go back to my chair. All right. Thank you, everybody, for being patient while we get through some of this fun stuff. Next item on the agenda. I have it, is the Historic Preservation Task Force introductions.

“Okay. We will not belabor this. I think the idea is clear and the goals are obvious. No actions are going to be taken for quite some time, but we're going to get educated the best we can in the coming months. Correct. So we'll move on to item D.
