Mayor, I'll make a motion that we approve tonight's consent items as listed on the agenda.
Oh, my daughter works there. It's still there.
I have a question for Daniel. I just wanted to make sure, and maybe you can speak to this, because something that Drew said that reminded me, and that was this is not going to eliminate any of our current design standards that we have for the downtown area. No.
