“Well, this one got a lot of questions. Let's start with questions from the dais, and we'll probably take public comment before we actually make a motion. I do think we've seen a lot of demand for housing, especially in the proximity of Goodfellow. That one needs to make a choice. As we sit down there and look at it, I'm curious as the opposition against the zoning, As it's going, I think you'd need to realize that some of the houses there are sitting in commercial and they were, they're not, it's not RS1. I think we've got, doesn't, isn't the CSA concrete plant just south of this too?”

“Saying you've got a lot of roadblocks, I mean, I'd say headwinds or bumps in the road that you've got to go to get this through. But right now, we're just talking about zoning. But I appreciate you trying to accommodate a definite need that the base has put out. I appreciate that. I think I'm good. Any other questions from the dais? Yes. All right. So, we'll cut his time and allow Karen.”

“No. I've got a couple of people sitting here that are here for M only. After that, then they can all escape. We lost Hebert again. No, I would tell him. All right, we do have a quorum. We're going to move the meeting back into session. With that, we're going to jump to item M, as in Mary. And we're going to go to the first reading and public hearing of an ordinance for ROW 26-06, a request for the City of San Angelo to abandon a .103 acre alleyway between S, between South Pierce and South Fillmore Street and a .084 acre alleyway between South Taylor Street and South Fillmore Street.…”

“Somebody needs to give him a raise, all right? I mean, that's pretty good. That's right. So these are two different areas, and I think there's a concern with one of these specifically as the ownership, who maintains it, who keeps it. Whose district is this in? Number five. All right. Karen, we'll let you lead on this, and then if we need Karen at your request, we'll move to public comment before we move to a vote if you want. You're welcome.”

“Okay. All right. Well, you know what? I don't know what everybody else thinks, but I'm in agreement with Karen and them over here that I think maybe it'd be good just to take it, to table this and let somebody put some more eyes on it. So I'll make a motion to table this item.”
