Thank you, Council Member Ajmera. I think we are ready for the vote on the motion to defer. We're conscious of the request. We'll figure out how to word a request for a referral and address that. But all in favor of the motion to defer item number seven, please raise your hand. All opposed to the motion to defer? The motion fails to defer. Now we'll revert to the underlying motion to approve the ordinance. Is there any further discussion on the item 7B? Okay. Council Member Johnson.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
And I agree. I like the question that Council Member Mayfield raised earlier. I think if we can capture those during topics just so we get them clearly, that'd be helpful. I believe the last hand I saw was Council Member Owens.
Is there any further discussion on the motion in item seven? Okay, we have a motion and a second. We've had discussion on item 7B, which is a motion to adopt an ordinance with an effective date of September 28, 2026, designating the property known as the Jefferson First Union Tower, parcel identification number 125-51-01 as the historical landmark. All in favor of the motion, please raise your hand. 10 in favor, any opposed? That motion carries 10 to 1. Thank you, Councilmember Johnson. All right, that takes us to agenda item number eight. Going to open the public hearing on the McClintock…
I have a comment. You have a comment. You have a discussion.
Thank you, Mayor. Madam and Senator, I just want to make sure before we move, just for the record, before we move to the vote on the motion, did we get recorded or clerk a motion, second, and approval of the motion to close?
Okay. So we have a motion and a second to approve the item in 8B, adopt an ordinance with effective date of September 28, 2036, designated property known as McClintock Presbyterian Church, parcel identification number 201-424-72 as a historic landmark. All in favor, please raise your hand. Any opposed? Motion carries.

All in favor? Yes. Council Member Esmir.
Thank you. Any further discussion? Council Member Johnson.
Any further discussion? All right. All in favor, please raise your hand. Any opposed? Thank you. It passes. That takes us to item number 10. We're going to open the public hearing on a resolution to close a portion of Barlow Road. Madam Clerk, do we have any speakers? Is there a motion to close the public hearing? So moved.

Any discussion? All in favor, please. Council Member Mayfield.
Thank you, Council Member Mayfield. Council Member Driggs, I saw your hand, but it may have been anticipation. I was getting ready to vote.
Okay. Any further questions, discussion? Is there a motion to close the public hearing?
Is there a motion to approve the motion?
Any further discussion? All in favor, yes. Raise your hand. Any opposed? It carries. Thank you.
That takes us to item number 12. We're now going to open the public hearing on the King's Grant Voluntary Annexation. Madam Clerk, do we have any speakers? I have one?
One speaker, and that's Bridget Grant. Is Grant here? Oh, my.
Any further discussion? Council Member Mayfield.
Is there any, thank you, Council Member Mayfield, is there any further discussion on item 12B? I'm going to address this.
I'm sorry. Council Member Mayfield, did you have any other comment?
