SORRY. YEAH.

[00:00:02]

[1. Call Meeting To Order]

[2. Attendance]

WE HAVE A QUORUM.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY ABSENCES.

THAT IS FANTASTIC.

GREAT. AND CATHERINE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ANNOUNCE STAFF PRESENT.

PRESENT IS MYSELF, CATHERINE GORMAN, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER.

AND DONNA FAIRWEATHER, THE ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY.

GREAT COMMISSIONERS.

ARE THERE ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST FOR THE CASES? I THINK WE NEED THE SIGNAGE BACK FOR US.

HE SIGNED IT. OKAY.

ARE HEARING NONE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES.

[4. Approval Of Minutes]

AND SO THERE IS ONE NOTATION UNDER 22P-079 IT SAYS CHAIRPERSON DAVID FINKLEA OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IT WAS ACTUALLY VICE CHAIR PENA.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE OVERALL THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME NOTATION THAT THE VICE CHAIR HANDLED THE IN-PERSON CHAIR DUTIES, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A BLANKET COMMENT SINCE YOU KNOW THAT THINGS ARE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY WHEN THE CHAIR IS NOT IN THE PHYSICAL CHAIR.

SURE. WE'LL MAKE A NOTE OF THAT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

SO ADOPTED AS CORRECTED.

ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD.

AT THIS TIME, WE'LL OPEN UP PUBLIC COMMENT.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON ANY OF THE NON AGENDA ITEMS? THE SIDE SIDE HEARING NONE.

WE'LL CLOSE IT AT 3:32 AND WE'LL GO INTO STAFF REPORTS.
