City Council - Regular Meeting

Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Alvette City Council meeting for December 9th, 2025. Can we please have roll call? Mayor Clark here. Chairman Prommo here. Council member Pashan Helman here. Council member Lewis here. Council member Solomonov is absent with an excuse. Okay. Uh do we have any communications to share at this time? We have no written communications. All right. Um we'll go on with the city manager report.

All right. Good evening everyone. Welcome to the final council meeting of 2025. All right. Um so we're going to have an update for Olive Crossing this evening. Um, lot three, if you have driven by, they have done a lot of work. Um, and the tenants are also um, starting to do their work. Um, one of the last things that the developer needs to do is the fountain and then the things related to the detention basin. Um, he had a small hiccup with the fountain. Um, St. Louis County advised that he needed to um drain the fountain into the sanitary storm water system, which uh MSD is not going to allow. So, uh MSD wants all that kind of water to go through the storm water system. Uh which is something that I mean MSD's been working on that a long time to get uh storm water stuff not going through sanitary system. So, it took a while to get county and MSD on the same page. So, um I think they have gotten through to county. Um and so they'll be able to start working on the the fountain installation uh as much as possible given the weather. Um and then Smoothie, Tropical Smoothie has turned their plans in and so has Verizon. And so those are under review by staff. Uh, and then there's just the one remaining vacant tenant space. Um, lot five. So, the last time we talked, uh, I mentioned that the potential, uh, restaurant wanted their vice president to come out and look at

the site. Uh, that evidently happened last week, uh, while it was snowing.

Um, it took about 30 minutes. They are very interested in the site. Um but they have asked for some additional information uh from the developer. So as these things go, it's kind of one step forward, two steps back um as they are are continuing to negotiate and and um decide whether or not they want to come to all of that. But by all accounts, they were very impressed with the site and they're very excited. So hopefully we will have some good news uh in the near future. Lot six is the hotel. So that was before um PCDC in October and November. And at the last PCD PCDC meeting uh they did vote to um grant approval uh for the hotel. So that's going to go move forward. And so we are awaiting the actual building and construction plans um from the developer. So we would expect them to to turn those in um sooner rather than later. And then of course lots one and two are the Aldi and that is finished as is the uh Clover. And then um news around town. If you get uh Voyages STL magazine uh or if you happen to see it on our Facebook page, our own Marian Steen was featured uh regarding her career as an artist and how she got into the field of art. So, it's a very interesting uh read and I would encourage anybody to um you can scan the QR code um and read her story about her life here, not only invet but also how she got into um art. Uh we also have an election coming up in

April for two council seats. Um, and election filing opened today and closes uh December 16th at 5:00 p.m. So, we have had two individuals pick up packets. Um, they've not turned them in yet, but they've picked them up. So, there's still time for individuals that uh want to pick up a packet. They can see the city clerk um and then get their signatures. 25 signatures are required um and fill out the paperwork and turn it in before 5:00 p.m. on December 16th. uh curbside leaf collection. So, the snow really messed up leaf collection and so pass three um has been cancelled because the leaves are snow covered or uh they melted and refro and so they're basically blocks of ice with leaves. So, we have rescheduled the final pass for the week of December 22nd. We're hoping that uh everything thaws out and then residents are urged to put their leaves at the curb as soon as they can, as soon as they can get out there and and rake them out there. Uh they may see the lawn lawn care service, Hendle lawn care service going around and collecting leaves ahead of schedule. We're trying to fit into their schedule because they're also behind because of because of the snow. Um, but they they will go back and do all of the streets that week of um, December 22nd. So, if you see them out there and you haven't gotten your leaves out and it's before the week of the 22nd, that's okay. Just, you know, get them out there um, as as you can. They are trying to catch up because again, the snow put them behind and we're not their only clients. So, latest information uh, you can follow the QR code. We are updating the website. We've put it on as an alert on

the front page of the website um so people can find it uh easily. Uh the pet adoption event hosted by the police department was scheduled for Saturday, November 29th, which was the snow that came in a lot earlier than we had expected. So that event was cancelled, but it's been rescheduled to January 17th at Five Oaks. And as we get closer to the 17th, we will be providing additional information about that. And then every December for the last several years, uh we have been doing u cops for pets. Uh this is actually the seventh annual cops for pets. So there is a bin out front in the vestibule for all things um dog related, catreated, leashes, toys, bedding. Also things like bleach, uh Clorox wipes, newspaper, long shredding, um anything that uh pets would need at the county animal shelter that's up uh at Bower. So th that those items get donated to them. And then the fire department is also doing a toys for tots collection. Uh so you can bring an unwrapped toy to uh city center or at five oaks um for the toys for tots. And then tomorrow we are having a blood drive uh here up at city center from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Anybody who donates gets an Amazon gift card for $15 from the Red Cross. So, we would encourage people to come um and donate blood. You can schedule an appointment. You can follow the QR code to do that. Uh but they will also take walk-ins. So, if you are interested and able, please

stop by tomorrow. Uh and then this is a gentle reminder that uh annual pet licenses are due by the end of the month. Um, it's $3 for a spayed or neutered animal or $10 per unspayed and unneutered am animal animals and uh the renewal form is available online. You can follow the QR code. So, please um get your your pet licenses and what is the color of the tag this year? Orange. And evidently uh in the catalog online catalog the pet tag says city of Alvette. So in the pet tag world we evidently are uh

special special on the catalog. Yes in the catalog it says I know I know.

All right. And then lastly, I would just remind everybody um that we do have a weekly uh newsletter, the Ovette Weekly, and please sign up uh to do that. And then upcoming meetings. So the December 17th park parks and recreation meeting has been cancelled. Um and then the city council meeting for December 23rd has been cancelled as well. And then city hall will be closed December 25th and January 1st and Five Oaks will have um reduced hours over the uh the holiday season. So those are listed below and they will also be closed on December 25th. So with that, I can answer any questions you might have. So, we're going at this point to the uh staff reports.

All right, starting with fire department. So, we had an administrative intern this last semester. Her name is Meline. She uh she comes from around Atlanta, Georgia. She's going to uh St. Louis University. She's studying uh political science and uh we gave her an opportunity to spend a day with the fire department and they she enjoyed her day uh with the fire department and they were able to show her a whole host of things. Unfortunately, they did not get a call that she could go out on or at least during the time that she was here. Um we tried another day and still didn't get a call. So, um that's right. They uh she spent a lot of time with fire department. She also spent a day with the police department on a ride along. So uh she got a full breadth of experience not only working with administration and finance, she did some work for us for the parks department. I think about the only uh department she didn't get to was public works. Um but they're they're experts in their field and don't need additional help. So, um, so Parks and Wreck, um, the cooking classes, uh, and the Sugarberry Kitchen are very, very popular. Um, so they've been doing a caregiver and me class, so an adult and a child, um, take that cooking class. They've also been doing some, uh, teen classes, as you can see. Some um teen classes are focused on uh like they call them like fake out takeout. So, you know, make your own uh takeout food. I think the next one is uh smashburgers. Uh and then they're also doing some adult classes uh at the beginning of the new year. Uh if your children are going to be out for winter break and you need

something for them to do, we do offer two winter break camps. So, Mad Science, uh, and Crayola Imagine. So, there are still spots available if you, um, need something to do with your children, uh, while they are out for winter break and maybe you have to go, um, back to work or you're not able to be off. Um, the QR code will take you to registration. And then just a note about the Turkey Trot one, it was exceptionally cold that day, but dry. uh and it was our largest number of runners uh over 2,000. So that has been a goal to get past over 2,000. And so we had 275 uh registrants and runners and we were able through the generosity of the community to give the food pantry um $31,500 um to help stock their shelves uh and feed the community. So I think by all accounts it was a good day. Um the runners did well uh and there were all kinds of volunteers and so uh it is a city staffwide effort. Every you know department is out there um working and 30 plus volunteers are also out there with directing traffic and parking and um handing out water and hot chocolate and coffee. So I think by all accounts it was a a good morning. Uh for planning the planning and community development commission uh design commission app recommended for approval a special use permit for 9321 uh which is the old US bank site for a ambulatory pharmacy uh to be run by Mercy. So, because this is a special use permit, it will come to the council for

a public hearing. We'll schedule that uh likely the first meeting in January. Um they have a couple of uh conditions. One of which is uh we're working with them to relocate this entrance because it's very close to uh the turn here. So relocating that back further and we're going to try and coordinate that with the work we are already going to do um in this area here on Dealman Industrial. Um, and then we are also working to um get an easement so that at some time in the near future, if this is Taco Bell, if Taco Bell ever redevelops, then we could um realign these two curb cuts to meet up with Llewellyn here so that we have a a better alignment across olive. So, um, at the public hearing, Carlos will present the the entire project to the council for your, um, consideration. The police department did some community policing, uh, this month. So, Plant Haven hosted uh, as you can see, uh, some visitors from the North Pole as well as some reindeer. So, uh, we have Officer Walker and Officer Wright who were up at Plant Haven, um, doing just some community policing and talking to talking to folks and and, um, being out and about in the community. So, by all accounts, I think that was a a well-received event that Plant Haven have, and I didn't hear about any traffic problems, but they just may not have made it my way. uh public works. So, if you drove down Olive today, you

may have noticed that the building at 9201 Olive um has been taken down. I think it probably took them about, I don't know, maybe 45 minutes to an hour to take the building down. Um it's not a very big building. No.

Um they also did put aside a whole bunch of the steel for recycling. Um, but a number of other things uh will be are not able to be recycled. I think tomorrow they're going to start working on the foundation. Uh, we're not exactly sure if it's a lot of concrete or normal concrete under there, but they hope to have that wrapped up by tomorrow. Yes. And then this picture up here is the work that public works has been doing with our community development block grant money um to do midblock crossings and sidewalks. uh up at Hilltop and Alice. And with that, I can answer any additional questions you might have. Okay, seeing none, we'll go on to our monthly financial report. And coming up to the mic is Director of Finance Darren Man. Best introduction I've ever had.

Good. Uh thank you for so for the uh what we're looking at today. We have our our five months up to uh November of 2025. We we can see uh revenues are doing well 285,000 almost 286,000 above our expectations and then expenses are also doing well uh about 177,500 below. So uh good positive variance of around 463. So what are the you know kind of components of this when we start looking at that? That's not a something a good budgeter would like to see. Uh if we go let's go to page 14 uh of here if we could and we can kind of see some of these uh details. I'll talk about sales taxes kind of month- on month. We can see the details behind of of what's there. So this sales tax category has you know four or five components but three major ones. Uh gas tax or fuel taxes, sales tax, and the use tax. Um we'll talk about the use tax there but you can see uh we've talked about the sales tax. We got a double kind of uh timing difference on our from when Aldi opened and that's that's been sitting there since July and it's kind of hung out there. Uh for the use tax, it's been very well and we'll take a look at a chart here in a second, but these are kind of hard numbers to predict. Uh but it's, you know, good. It's always good to have a a positive variance. Property taxes are are slow as we can see there. Pretty small numbers for the total when we get to the $2 million range that we'll look at for the end of the year. Uh we got some news from the county as I've kind of you know we've talked about it last month and continue. I think this is going to be slow process of collection uh for this month or for this year. Uh the timing of when the bills went out were were slow. I think they're just going to have trouble kind of telling us how much we get. Uh but we we will get it. And this has happened in the past. So we will see this kind of slower than expected. All will be fine. Uh utility taxes uh they're now mixed. They were all positive. all those uh all

four of the again utricity, natural gas, water usage, and then the the telecom and franchise uh fees that we we get there. Uh they were all positive. Now they're running mix and this is usually what we see in our utility taxes. So uh nothing nothing major to report there. Uh the next big category we talk about parks and wreck. Uh I talk about a lot about, you know, those memberships, uh the rentals, they're kind of lagging behind uh compared to strong sports registrations. You can see every single one of those sports registrations. We see soccer and basketball all above where we thought. So, some goods and some bads and kind of netting into a a decently decent number, but overall negative. Uh we don't talk about much about those others of things after this. Uh permits are doing very well. Uh so, from now, let's go to page uh two. Oh, one more down. I'm sorry. There we go. Good. So, here's our our use taxes. We're used to seeing the sales tax in this top chart where the orange is this year. Uh and then we see the last seven years. So where are we kind of comparing uh and it's a kind of a jumbled mess. So um but you can see for sure that orange is above all the other years. So that's why we see that positive variance. And then the lower chart is these things kind of stacked up over the last seven years. So the same chart everything stretched out. um the linear uh kind of line there as it kind of charts up, you can see where we would kind of expect things that runs in uh 3 to 4% and that's what we do for our projections. Uh but then the lower line there is a 12-month uh kind of rolling average. You can see we're much above much well above that. A matter of fact, our last year collections for FY25 were 5% lower than the year before. And then here we are coming back. So, uh, as a, you know, budgeter kind of decision maker, uh, what goes into that? And the answer is really unclear. We get these things from commercial properties being redone and

it's they remit their use tax and it's this 20 or $30,000 chunk. Well, if we're dealing with $100,000 variance and we're talking about it, 30,000 is a lot of money. Uh we do have some good steady payers in there which is what you'd expect uh probably people you shop with which is Amazon and those anything you kind of buy on the online kind of comes into this use uh this use tax chart. So it's nice and steady and that's what we see as an increase overall that lifts this number up over time. Uh but it is uh volatile but uh this is why we get these positive variances. uh we can budget more and then talk about how negative it is or we can kind of budget less and then talk how good it is and then when it kind of cools down then it's like okay it all worked out. uh overall when we budget we usually look at that boring blue line that's sitting there and try to budget for that and then talk about good and talk about bad ex on the expenditure side which is always again the revenues are always fickle but we just kind of deal with them and average them out diversify uh the expense side when you see big variances like that um those are things under our control uh like we've talked about last month insuranceances were under what we thought we didn't find these numbers out we always kind of speculate the broker tells us 20% % 20% 20%. That's all we can work with until the actual rates come. Our workers comp uh rate was was much lower, more like uh uh sub double digits, which is uh kind of rare. Uh but it that's what it came in at. Uh we'll see that variance grow as we pay this next round of bills and in December for the we pay it twice a year. Uh also our health insurance uh came in a little bit lower than we thought and so we're going to see those things. The other variance things causing variances in here are things that make me absolutely crazy, which is people asking for money, they're not spending it evenly. So eventually these things catch up. The things that we budgeted for do need to get bought. And so we'll kind of see that that positive variance dwindle down a little bit because of that. So with that, as it

relates a little bit to our reserve policy, uh budget thing, everything's looking good compared to where we thought for budget. So uh more than happy to answer any questions. Do we have any questions from the council? Seeing none, Mr. Man, thank you. Thank you. Okay. So, um, we'll go with our city council reports. Um, and I'll start over to my left. Um, Mr. Lewis, Council Member Lewis, do you have anything you would like to report?

Uh, the only things on PCDC is a couple times things have come up around um, well, let me start back. The council had sent a direction when we kind of met and talked about what are our priorities out of the comprehensive plan. Those have been directed to PCDC. PCDC is now going through a many many week exercise where they're taking each of those one by one and sending them out to the the committee to actually ask them, you know, what are theirs and so we're then we're going to see which ones marry up and then we'll be able to bring them back. So, it's very thoughtful how they're approaching it um and coming back with actual comments and their approach. So, I think it'll be good then we'll be able to hear what their priorities are. they're hearing what ours are and then we can kind of from there determine how we approach those in any whether it's litigation or whether it's not or you know legislation. Yeah. Um the other thing is there's just been a lot of conversations around the concept of affordable housing, what that means. I could see that surfacing again just around do we need to look at lot sizes? Do we need to look at different types of housing allowances? You know, those kind of things, duplexes, you know, so just letting you know that's swelling a little bit. Um so we'll hear more about it in the near future.

Okay. We'll keep us posted. Um, Council Member Pashan Helman.

Um, I attended a cool cities meeting on December the 3rd. This is a collaborative effort with a variety of cities within um, St. Louis County as well as uh, St. Louis city itself. Um, and this particular one looked at building energy efficiency codes and it was a really great presentation about just ways to increase building energy efficiency and um this collaborative effort is especially helpful because it provides um insight from what other municipalities are doing. So, it was hosted at Richmond Heights and uh Richmond Heights has one of the most progressive um uh the newest code adoption there. They also have EV ready and solar ready codes. Um, so it was it was a good opportunity to look at what's being done in other municipalities and to learn a little bit also about the statewide legislative things um that are potential for this year that would uh have a negative impact on building energy efficiency. Um, yeah.

Chairman Pro Tim. Wow.

I attended the November Parks and Recreation Comm Commission meeting. And at that meeting, um, there was a long there's a lot of discussions that we do every month, which is, you know, how the memberships at Five Oaks are and the updates on all of those, um, that data. And also um I'm not sure if people are aware, but all the commissioners visit all of the parks each month and they keep record of it and they talk about the people they encounter and what they observe and and it's really helpful to the park staff because if they see things that need to be fixed or they get feedback that they share that as well. But the most important part of the meeting this past time or the highlight was really um Jill Voit shared the I think I said her name right um shared u a report on last summer's camps and last summer we renamed the camps camps five oak camp five oaks and it was also the camps became um that she she gave a really thorough um report and I'm going to share a couple of the highlights. Um they talked about the difference between contract camps and program camps. And a contract camp is when we bring in people like when um Miss Yakley talked earlier about over winter break, we're having like Mad Science, we're having um Crayola, we have other uh Circus Caput sometimes. So they come in usually during the um they they come in during the um like the beginning of the summer while we're doing our staff training and everything. And then we have program camps and those run for six weeks following that. Um the program camps are um we cannot give any scholarship or any breaks to those camps. Um but the program camps we do offer um if the someone is on um a school a meal plan at school they get the meal planet camp. Um um I use the wrong term I know the prices are very um

comparable to the other communitywide camps. We also talked about some of the field trips that they take. Um what the what the experiences are, how many kids we attracted. It was really a very successful um eight weeks this year. I previously said six, but it's eight. And but being at Five Oaks this year allowed them to use the indoor the indoor playground, um the rooms, the kitchen, um to use Warson Park in a different way. and they really did some amazing arts and crafts and STEM projects and um cooking in the kitchen and field trips and structured play, but each week had um some uh field trips. They went to the St. Louis Zoo, Potter Valley, Grants Farm, and the Science Center. And then every other week they went to Aquaport and um and it it was just a excellent summer. where they shared the parent feedback and have ideas for improvements for this summer and uh we're going to move forward again this summer with being at Five Oaks as well. So, um it was a great meeting. Thank you very much. Um tomorrow plan on attending a um municipal municipal league gathering tomorrow evening and I'm going to make sure I represent our city the best that I can. Um we're going to go on to uh hearing from citizens. If there's anyone in the audience that would like to say something, please come forward. Seeing that there are none, is there anyone online? If so, raise your hand. Seeing none, so we'll go on to item number eight, bill number 3054. If we could please have the title read.

Bill 3054, an ordinance to repeal ordinance 2549 and authorize the city manager to execute a public works emergency response mutual aid agreement. Second reading. Good evening, mayor, city council members. Um, not sure what I need to reshare here, but I'd be glad to answer any questions if things have come up uh since our last meeting. Anyone have any questions on the council? Okay, seeing none, then um I would entertain a motion.

Is the motion just as it's written? that um you could if you choose make a motion to uh and then you could just read the title of the bill. Okay. Uh make a motion to approve bill number 3054 an ordinance of the city of Missouri to repeal ordinance 2644 and to execute the public works emergency response mutual aid agreement as attached. Second. Okay. Can we please pull the council? Council member Lewis. Yes. Council member Pashan Helman. Yes. Chairman Prommo. Yes. Mayor Clark. Yes. Motion is passed. Bill 3054 becomes ordinance 2824.

Thank you. Okay. We're going to go on to bill number 3055. Bill 3055 and ordinance adopting amendment number three to the city of Alvet's salaried employees retirement plan as restated January 1st, 2013. Good. I uh again uh we can rehash uh what we need to here the uh but it's a representation. There's no changes from last time. No changes to the pension as far as benefits or uh are concerned. It's just a a little minor change for administrative ease of the look back period. Okay. I'll entertain a motion to approve.

I'll make a motion. A motion to approve bill 3055, an ordinance adopting amendment number three to the city of Olivet's salaried employees retirement plan is restated to January 1st, 2013. Second. Okay. Can we please pull the council? Council member Lewis. Yes. Council member Pashan Helman. Yes. Chairman Prom. Yes. Mayor Clark. Yes. Motion is passed. Bill 3055 becomes ordinance 2825. Thank you. So, we're going into item number 10, resolution 2025-264. Resolution 2025 202 264, a resolution to enter into a lease agreement for Stacy Park between the city of St. Louis and the city of Alvette.

Okay,

so this is the first time you've seen this. Uh we actually uh lease a portion of Stacy Park. It's the water reservoir and the uh rock what do they call it? The rock rock rock pile, which is the prairie that where we can't get anything to grow. Um, so this is for a 5-year lease. Um, the city of St. Louis likes to do these in five-year increments because then it can stay at the staff level. Uh, and we have asked a number of times to do a longer lease. Um, that requires a lot more um, red tape for the city of St. Louis and uh going to their board of alderman as well as their board of um aortionment and their staff would rather continue to do this every 5 years. So there are no changes to the actual lease um other than there's a better map uh that calls out the uh reservoir and the the rock pile. So staff is recommending approval of the 5-year lease.

Okay. Do we have any questions from the council? I do just have a question. Is it five-year lease agreement for $1 for the entirety of the five years or $1 per year? It's likely $1 per year. That's already in the budget. Yes. I'd like to make a motion to approve resolution 2025-264, resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into a lease agreement with the city of St. Louis for the property known as Stacy Park. Do we have a second? I'll second. All right. Can we please pull the council? Council member Lewis. Yes. Council member Pashan Helman.

Yes. Chairman Promile. Yes. Mayor Clark. Yes. The motion is passed. Okay. So, now we're going on to item 11. Purchase of a LifePack 35 cardiac monitor coming through the monitor. The chief.

Good evening, mayor, city council, Miss Yakley. My name is Steven Cararman, fire chief, city of Alvette Fire Department. The city of Alvette Fire Department is seeking approval to acquire a new frontline cardiac monitor to support highquality emergency medical care for our community. After careful evaluation, the department recommends purchasing the life pack 35 cardiac monitor from Striker acquired through SAVIC, a cooperative purchasing agent. Utilizing SAVIC not only streamlines the procurement process, but also ensures we receive the most competitive pricing available through a nationally recognized competitive bid cooperative purchasing contract. Lifepack 35 stands out as the most suitable and forward-thinking choice for our department's operational and clinical needs. It's the only cardiac monitor on the market that provides both hands-on defibrillation paddles and soft pad defibrillation capabilities. In addition, the LifePack 35 brings enhanced clinical functional functionality, including Wi-Fi connectivity, intuitive touchscreen controls, and the ability to quickly switch to a 15 lead EKG, enabling more precise identification for cardiac events. The LifePack 35 is part of the same equipment family we already use in the department and we can continue utilizing many of our existing accessories such as parts, electropads, reducing both costs and delays associated with waiting for new equipment or supplies. If you have any questions, I can answer them now.

What kind of warranty does this unit have? Well, we don't really get a warranty with it. We get a service agreement that they work up to six years is the agreement on on the monitor. Okay. Any other council members have any questions? Well, it did say there was a three-year warranty on it. I'm not sure if that needs to change. Probably doesn't need to. On our bill, was it a three-year warranty? I'm sorry. Can you come all the way up to the mic so that Thank you. And um tell us who you are.

Yep. I'm Christina Elias and I'm with Striker Emergency Care. And so the monitor does come with a one-year warranty and then a three-year service plan, which also gets called warranty, but it's a service plan. So covering all parts, labor, travel, um batteries, um annual preventative maintenance and anything that may happen intermittently to the to the monitor because it is subjected to different environmental factors that the fire department might encounter. I imagine something like this has software that needs to be upgraded from time to time. Correct. And that is included with uh the ProAre package that comes with it.

Thank you very much. Thank you. Any other questions? And is the service plan included in the pricing or is that a annual renewal sort of thing? It is included in the pricing of that we quoted for you. Just out of curiosity, does this is this on the fire truck? Is this on the you know ambulance vehicle? Like where is this? The new one will go the new monitor will go to the ambulance and then that monitor will go over to the pumper and be on the pumper because we run calls. Yeah. You just never know when you need a cardiac unit. So, the older unit is still working and usable. Okay, great. Great.

Um, seeing no other questions, I will entertain a motion. I'll make a motion. Um, motion to authorize the city manager to enter into an agreement with Striker to purchase a LifePac 35 cardiac monitor with the price not to exceed $59,483.54. Second. Okay. Can we please pull the council? Council member Lewis, yes. Council member Pashan Helman, yes. Chairman Prom, yes. Mayor Clark, yes. Motion is passed. Thank you.

All right, so we're going on to item number 12, hearing from citizens part two. Seeing none in the audience, and I do not see any online, we'll move on to item number 13, review and acceptance of minutes. Um, were there any corrections to the minutes that anyone saw? Okay.
