Okay, great. Does anybody have any lobbying disclosure forms?

Make a motion to
approve. Second.
We have a motion and second. All in favor?
Aye.
Anybody opposed? Good, passed. All right. We have three items on the consent agenda. Does anybody want to pull any items on the consent agenda?
I'd like to pull item numbers.
One and three. Okay. Three as well.
Right. And three. Okay, so number one, is anybody here from Jiffy Lube? Okay.
Okay, they did send a letter that we got kind of late. They are asking for a deferral. They couldn't make this meeting, so they want to go to the next meeting.
Do we need a motion to defer Giffy Lube to the next meeting?
I so move that we defer number one to the next meeting.
I'll second.
Second? Passed? Oh, anybody? I'm sorry. All in favor?
Yes. Aye. Anybody
opposed? Okay. And so you said item number three
Are you going out of order or you want to go
That's fine. Right? That's all right. Go out of order. Boulevard Animal Hospital. So in
this particular case, because two was not pulled, you can vote to approve the consent agenda without three.
And then
you can have three come up afterwards.
Okay.
All right. Then I need a motion to approve consent agenda item number two. I'll make the motion. I'll on your mic.
Second. Okay.
Anybody? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Pass. All right, number three. Member Bell? Sorry.
Yeah, are they present? It wasn't in the work. This is what it you can pass this down. This is what it looked like before I took that off.
Yeah, they want
to change it to their brains.
It's a big
change. I know.
Hi. My name is Steven Davis. I'm a veterinarian. And this is my building right here. There's a question, I believe, about painting. We painted the building.
Yeah, because we have a photo of what it looked like before you painted. I don't know if you guys had this. I just pulled it offline, right?
You have to talk into the mic, Yeah,
I don't know as I have a photo from before.
No, I'm just saying. I'm just showing everybody that that's what it looked like before because I didn't get I don't know if anyone else I didn't have one in my paperwork, so I didn't.
You have it? Yeah,
you can have
it. She gave us a
couple I passed one down for them. So I guess the main question is, when you have a commercial building, you need to get any changes approved.
Yeah. Unfortunately, I was not aware of that. As far as painting the building, I did not know that you needed a permit. And the person that I hired to do it, he did not mention that to me at all. But I would have gotten one if I had known. But we honestly didn't we didn't know.
Yeah. Anytime you do anything and it's not just painting. It's anything you do to your building. You need to get a permit. You need to get approval to do that.
Okay. All right.
Because this was a big and this was a big change. And so what you did, it looks like you just painted. That was all that you did?
Yes. Yeah, we painted the outside of the building. And GREGORY It was getting I mean, paint was and I forget how long it's been since we painted it. But you'd see the paint was kind of chipping off the whole thing, and it was getting kind of faded. So did
you have a full job done? Did they scrape all the paint and take it all down?
Yes, they did. Yeah.
And do that. Okay. Yeah, I mean, don't have a problem with the color. Okay, good.
Thank you. All right, so we need a motion to approve?
Before May.
Number three.
Make a mention to staff. So I think that last group of months, or the last time we met, we had something similar happen. And I think that we talked about being proactive so that maybe in a commissioner's meeting that we ask that maybe at the time when somebody buys a building or when somebody's they are given maybe a packet with rules or mean, I'm sure they are, but maybe somewhere that we can highlight it or just to make it clear because it's happening too often.
Yeah. We can actually bring that up later.
Just, again, just for clarification, there's no permit required downstairs in the building department for color change.
I can't hear you, Joe.
There's permit required for a color change to the building. What's required is an architectural review in front of you all. We've talked about that. You guys added that to your annual report. The next business day after we had our conversation, I sent an email, a general email, down to the building department to make sure that if anybody comes in at all and asks for a color permit that you let them know that they have to come see us. There is a rotation downstairs of permit clerks. And so the older ones know that. The younger ones may not. So we ask them to reestablish that. And then we'll also and then when this item goes to city commission, obviously you guys can speak about it.
And if they direct us to put more information online, we can potentially look at educational items. Or like I was saying, when somebody comes in for a business license or a conditional use, we may be able to give them some sort of advice on that. Now, because you come in for a conditional use or a business license doesn't mean you're going to paint your building, or you may be responsible for painting that building. But it may be something we may be able to let them know because we can hammer that in. Then maybe less of these will occur.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's not part of this. It's not on the agenda. But it looks like you also switched the sign. I don't know. You might want to check. I don't know that that sign is a proper sign. It could be. I don't know. It doesn't seem because it just kind of nailed in there, right? Screwed in there?
The sign, how it's affixed to the building. We had somebody we paid someone. There was a sign up there previously, and we had somebody come in because that was getting old, too.
Yeah, that one was old, yeah. So with the new sign, so it could be that there's something that needs to be that that's not a proper
We'll certainly take a look at it.
Yeah. Thank you. See, all these things need to be approved. Yeah.
Okay. I apologize for that.
You don't have to apologize. Okay. Again, I ask of a motion to pass this item.
I move that we approve the appellation.
And I second that.
Okay. All in favor? Aye. Opposed?
Okay. Thank
you. Thank
you. You.
No problem. Thank you.
Any items at the request of any members? Oppressed of the board? Nope. Items on the staff? Just
one thing, and I think I kind of mentioned it to the chair before. Next meeting, we will have two items on there that are a little bit unorthodox for you guys. I won't talk about them now because they have to be scheduled for the next meeting. But if you guys get the item and you have any questions on it, please feel free to call staff. We'll be able to answer your questions here. But if there's anything technical that you needed, the one has something to do with our water supply plan that has to go through this particular department. I mean, has to go through you guys as the LPA. But we could certainly catch you up on the technical portions of it. It was done by our utilities department.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you. Anything else? No. I guess we're good. Motion to adjourn.
So move.
Need a second. Second. Okay. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? I think that's right.
Thank you.
