So, make sure the green light is on. So, what I attempted Can you the microphone part? One, two, three. One, two, three. Okay.

Yeah, cool. So, what I attempted to do initially was renew the business license. But I was advised that I needed to uh file for a new business license um under I guess the uh the zoning. I'm not sure what the technical terminology for. Um and so I'm just going through the process of of the steps that I was advised to take, but I I initially started the application in 2022. I attempted to renew it multiple times in 2023, 2024,

but at that time there were issues with the to where it's like I couldn't I thought I paid for it but then I never got a official confirmation that I actually had the business license. So I just I didn't do the responsible thing. I didn't follow up and follow up. I just wrote it off at that point. So anyway, so I'm trying to become a preferred vendor uh with the city of Atlanta or whatever the case is. And so they require that I have the business license. So now starting the process again and I was hoping it would be a renewal but it's not and that's fine. So now um I'm having to do the home. Gotcha. Gotcha. Yes. Uh media production

at my location. Uh mainly I would say meetings, storing equipment and uh yeah just anything dealing with pre-production and storing equipment. That would be it. But no client facing operations at all. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Okay. So, um I would like to ask, do you agree with all the rules and regulations from our section 4.2.31? Thank you. So, now let me ask the audience, is there anyone here that is in support of Mr. Barry's petition? Is there anyone here that is in opposition of Mr. Barry's position? Petition, I'm sorry. Thank you, Mr. Barry. through and have your decision letter within 24 to 48 hours. Okay.

A couple of my neighbors open a rap studio and they uh I guess my immediate neighbor they know me or whatever the case is and they know like if I'm not traveling I'm working from home and so they kept calling her saying if he's opening up a rap studio he's going to have a bunch of over here. We're going to go up there and not. So, obviously, they got the memo. Okay. Well, thank you, Miss Barry. I'm glad that was confirmed. Yes, a type one home occupation is only allowed with no customer contact. So, there will not be no uh residents or nobody coming to the house should be come to the house. Okay. Thank you. Have a good one.
