I have a motion made by Andro Royal, second by Mr. Raphael Caro to approve. All those all those in favor of the motion I I any naysay any abstain? Motion carried.

Item number nine planning and zoning commissioners report. I had a question. So for example on the agenda where items five, six, and seven are basically the same. It's just like a master and then it's separated into two different ones. Is it typical anywhere else where like if we vote on the first like on item number five, right, to include items six and seven at the same time or does it each individually?

I would say that when items are related, they can be presented together and voted on at once. I don't think that I've had examples of that with either this commission or city council. Is that typical somewhere also or is that practiced somewhere else or No, I've seen that done before. I don't know about how how typical it is. But maybe they can be all presented together but then voted on separately. Um I don't know if Marwan wants wants to add anything to that.

Yeah, that was the last part that I was going to ask was what you can do is you can open them up for discussion, the the three items and then consider them together and then but then you still need to vote because they're specific items like you know one was a ma master plan resubmission which is a separate item from a recla which is separate from a preliminary final. Okay.

But yeah, you could you could vote to as a you know the the chair of the commission you can make a motion to uh consider those three items first. They they were in order, but sometimes they might be out of order, but you can ask to open all those items for discussion, go through them, and then vote on them. You know, it'll be together, uh, but, you know, not as one item. Correct. So, okay. I think they try to group them usually close enough on the agenda anyway that you you can vote on it, but thank you. I don't have anything. Neither do I.

Thank you. Item number 10, planning and zoning department report. Miss Kimo.
