It's not on here.

Okay.

Did I get everybody?

Yes.

Okay, good.

So we definitely have a quorum and ready to move.

And this would be a good time.

We have for the first time Deputy Mayor Dave Hamilton with us.

And I'm going to put you on the spot and have you give a quick rundown of yourself and then we'll go around the room and introduce ourselves.

So go ahead.

Hello, everybody.

Nice to be here with you.

It's my first meeting, as you all know.

I've been on the council for a little over two years.

And I got an upgrade and moved over here to transportation.

I'm not sure you'll consider it an upgrade, but hopefully.

So I've been in Bellevue for 50 years, got six kids.

They all grew up basically here.

Spent my career in transportation, and I retired from that at the end of 23 and started this in 24.

And I'm really excited to spend uh Thursdays once a month with all of you and seeing you around here and there and look forward to the work and getting to know y'all.

And what kind of transportation?

I was in medical logistics.

Medical logistics.

Oh patients or supplies.

Supplies.

Sometimes parts of patients, but parts of generally supplies.

But it could have been anything.

It depended on the client.

So uh organizations like Kaiser Permanente and UW Medical.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Yeah.

Excellent.

All right.

Well, nice to meet you.

Thank you.

And how about we can we'll start going around the room.

You want to go next.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, this is just for just a minute.

So David.

Yeah.

So I'm Anthony.

Well, true.

I've been on the commission since I think I was September or August was my first meeting.

And I've lived in Bellevue since 1998 and grew up in West Seattle and involved and done a plethora of sort of uh foreign policy-related government investment infrastructure projects overseas uh over the last two decades, and then also am active in sort of Seattle area real estate.

So excellent.

Commissioner Ting?

Hi, my name is Albert Ting.

Um I've been born in Seattle.

I lived in Bellevue the majority of my life.

Um I've been on the commission for about seven years now.

So it's been quite a while.

Um I find transportation to be one of the key issues that uh impact the residents of Bellevue.

So I've been very happy to serve on the commission and I look forward to working with you.

Hi Dave, I'm Drew McGill.

I've been on the commission since 2023.

Uh retired from Boeing a few years ago.

Yeah, which is also a transportation, I guess, right?

So it's uh this is a great commission.

I'm really um glad to be a part of it.

Glad that you're part of it too.

Yeah.

Yeah, nice to meet you.

Uh I'm Karen.

Um retired also, has spent my career doing engineering technology type roles.

Some with transportation, some with design, depending on on the role.

Uh been in Bellevue 24 years or so, and I've been on the commission maybe about six or so.

Yeah, nice to meet you.

And I'm K I'm Kay Williams.

I've been on the commission for a little over six months, uh, middle of the year last year.

Um, I've lived in Bellevue for about 40 years.

Well, not always in Bellevue, but on the east side, uh, various places.

Um live in Lakemont now, so represent that community in a sense.

Um, I worked for Microsoft for many years and um really enjoy interesting technical um complex problem solving, and there's a lot of that in this commission.

Hi, nice to meet you, Susanna Kyleman.

I am a Bellevue resident for about three years now and going on my second year with the Transportation Commission.

Um, my only experience working with transportation is um during my time as uh medic in the Air Force and similar to what you're doing medical logistics, but starting off with no roads, building roads with uh Army Corps of Engineers, um, and then in the civilian world, I do RD for biotech.

Nice to meet you.

I'm always impressed when I hear people go around the room and we just hear what expertise and experience we have in here.

So it's very, very cool.

So all right, let's move on to the approving agenda.

It's in front of everybody.

Uh, do I have a motion to approve the agenda for tonight?

So moved.

Sorry, second.

I'll second.

Is there any amendment suggestion?

Okay.

Approved as is.

Let's move on to oral and written communications.

Uh, Kevin has forwarded to us all the written communication as he always does up until right before the meeting.

Umal communication tonight.

We have the usual people have three minutes to uh speak.

Kevin will keep track of the time.

We have both, we might have some people online.

I think we I'm sure we have a few people here in the room.

Uh, we'll try to go in the order of when the people had signed up.

Uh so with that said, um, Kevin, could you please call on the folks in the order, please?

We have two people signed up so far.

Um, Steve Fantle is remote and Alex Zimmerman is present.

Uh Steve, I see that you're in.

I will unmute you and you will have three minutes.

Okay, go ahead.

Welcome, Steve.

Hi, thank you, and good evening.

Um, I'm Steve Fandel, a 30-plus-year Bellevue resident and Bellevue bicyclist.

When I volunteered with the City of Bellevue Transportation Planning Group in 2019, I was tasked with putting together a list of low-cost, high impact, rapid implementation, bike safety improvement projects.

Now, fast forward seven years.

While a few of these items have been addressed, the majority remain only as wishes, despite their alignment with established safety initiatives like Vision Zero and Safe Routes to School.

When I have engaged staff directly on projects that I have a vested interest in, they've generally shown a lack of interest or have referenced large capital projects to be executed many years from now.

They also cite the lack of a small discretionary budget pool for just these types of low-cost, high impact, rapid impl rapid implementation projects.

It's unacceptable if these types of projects can only be implemented as the result of a serious injury, fatality, or a subsequent lawsuit.

The handouts that uh Kevin provided for you describe three such projects that I have personally taken the time to document.

Each involves locations where bike safety issues exist, each requires only simple pavement markings or signage to achieve their goal, and each requires minimal planning and resource expenditures to complete.

I realize that this commission cannot direct budget decisions within the transportation department or in the city as a whole, but I hope that by raising this issue, the commissioners can provide feedback to the council and staff of the need to provide a means to address these small yet important projects in a timely manner and for safety's sake.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Thank you very much.

Okay, next one.

Next is Alex.

Welcome.

And I am live in Bellevue for 40 years.

And I'm president of Stand Up America most for 40 years.

Yeah.

And I come to you because I think what is you doing is for me is qualifying like dirty Nazi busted.

And I explained to why.

First, you never show people faces.

This is absolutely deotic situation.

Because I speak every week seven, ten times.

And everybody when I speak from the commodity over it, all they show faces.

The only one who don't show faces.

So he looked to me like a good inner bastard.

Because when you don't show faces, he's supposed to be motivation.

Why?

What is your motivation?

Because you are Nazi.

Oh, Busters.

Second.

Twelve year ago, council stopping us First Amendment freedom of speech.

Is this incomparable?

Only because Bet Alex Zimmerman come and speak for 30 years, so they tied it from me.

Yeah, yeah.

I understand.

So right now, Ismatazy did 30 minutes at 10 people.

Guys, my question is very simple.

When I only want bad man for 40 years in Bellevue, why 150,000 idiot cannot speak?

Can you explain to me?

30 minute in 10.

It's a pure violation of constitution.

First amendment freedom of speech.

Why you did this?

Yeah.

Yeah, you see.

Deputy Mayer.

Is he very quiet?

Why?

Why you did this like a Nazi busters?

It's number two.

Number three, guys.

You have a deputy mayor, Moor Muhammad.

What is Iranian Muslim, anti-Semite and Bandita terrorists?

So last week, we could go.

Yeah.

You consul and people talking about human right for Iranian.

I understand human right for Iranian.

I understand this.

What is I don't have my human right?

Like a Jew, like support Israel and like support Trump.

Why you give me trespasses?

Why you prosecute me seven times, huh?

Huh?

For two years, you give me twenty traffic.

Take it.

What is going on?

Where is my human right?

Look him, Deputy Mayor Hamilton.

Very quiet.

Why is he so very quiet?

He's a freaking Nazi.

He's a fascist or he's an idiot.

Huh?

Why are you quiet?

Everything what is a token is oh Viva Trump!

Viva New America revolution and uh poor in idiot.

Thank you very much.

Okay, thank you.

Uh Kevin, do we have anybody else that are signed up either virtually or else in the house?

Signed up.

Um there are people in the house and there's people in the audience that may want to speak.

Is there anybody here who would like a time to speak?

Yes.

Um, but it only is pertaining to the uh sound transit train.

Uh well, come on up.

If it's transportation related, we'll come on up and please state your name, and we'll get you in the record, and we'll start the clock.

John Tiscornia.

I know some people here, some uh from the past.

The question is what we're here today is to discuss the sound from the sound transit train when it goes over the East Channel Bridge about what's going on to uh mitigate the low rumbling sound.

And that's the uh question I'd like your help with and your suggestions on how we can solve that.

And also the train's been running in the middle of the night.

It was running at three in the morning last night, which is not really good for the neighbors.

So I just want to put those out for future discussions during today's meeting.

Thank you very much.

Okay, thank you.

Is there anybody else in the audience or online who would like to speak tonight?

No, and no hands raised.

Okay.

All right.

Thank you all.

Moving on now to communications from city council boards and commissions.

Uh, so first, again, well, welcome to Dave.

Did you have a small presentation or discussion we go through?

All right, go for it.

Awesome, thank you.

Uh, I know you're gonna be uh looking at your bylaws uh later tonight and just might want to draw your attention at some point uh to the communications section and section A communications with council.

So something to uh take a look at it uh at some point.

Um, so just throwing that out there since you're thinking about it.

A few update items for you.

Uh we had a council retreat at the end of February, um, which we do annually.

Um, so we took a look at the year ahead and we reviewed our council vision, um, looked at the grand connection uh vision, and we were lucky to have uh director Singalakis and um others from transportation join us at the retreat, which is somewhat unusual, but was of course welcome.

Um, so just kind of an indication that this is going to be a big year for transportation in the city.

So flag that for you.

Um we opened Fire Station 10 um over on 112th and 12th, um, which was really uh a really good event and uh tremendous work done uh by the city and building and standing it up.

Uh the It's your city communication uh is out, it's available online.

It's available online.

I think everybody gets it in the mail as well.

So just drawing your attention to that.

The Sound Transit updates are coming to council next week.

So, you know, always encourage you to watch the council meetings or join us or provide any feedback that you might have, but just flagging that as well.

And then I think everyone is well aware that on the 28th, the uh cross lake connection opens up.

So lots of things going on around the city uh to celebrate that.

Um should be interesting and fun and maybe a better option for you, Kevin, when the weather's not great to uh get back and forth.

Pretty convenient.

Um just wanted to take maybe a couple extra minutes tonight to go over some of this, the stuff that came out of the uh council retreat.

And we really focused on boards and commissions this year.

It's been kind of building.

Um, but you'll find that the council is going to continue to focus on that and work on it and maybe standardize some of the processes for how we interact and for how we uh bring on new board and commission members.

So at least my process, and it's pretty well open to council members to conduct it in a way that they prefer.

But my process is going to be really collaborative.

And this does go on.

There's a number of ways to do it, and I think they're all uh good ways, but mine is going to include everybody on the commission in some role or another.

Um, and then as we kind of move up the process and and look at the list, it'll certainly involve the chair and vice chair uh in the interviews as well, but really looking to kind of standardize it and make sure that uh everyone who's interested has a chance to express that interest and be involved going forward.

So just want to throw that out to you.

And then too, just to kind of mention, and some of this was new to some of the council members at the retreat.

So I thought it might be worth mentioning uh a few of the things uh in council rules as it relates to boards and commissions.

And um, I think right at the beginning, um, looking at the purpose of the boards and commissions is to advise the council, prepare issues for council's review, consideration, and final decision, and provide representation of a cross section of the public when advising council so that council may entertain a full range of public perspective in making their decisions.

I'm gonna put some of this together just in a memo.

It's in the um council guidebook, so it's available to everyone.

But I just wanted to mention a few things tonight.

So that's just kind of the basic part of it.

My role here is to be a conduit for communication between the commission and the council, provide guidance uh to the commission within the direction of the council, provide the commission with a big picture, including issues where there's likely controversy or where members uh need awareness.

Uh, the number of other things too, I'm I won't uh touch on.

Obviously, I don't vote, you know, I'm not a member of the commission.

Um and I'll be here uh likely at every meeting, but the council rule is to attend at least quarterly.

So you may find that there are some meetings where I may come in and give an update, and that'll be the end of it.

Some meetings where where I may not be here, um, but always available um uh whenever needed.

Um then as far as it relates to kind of expectations of the commission.

I just think a few things to um kind of think about.

And I know that you're aware of these, but it just seemed like coming out of the retreat and this being my first meeting, it was worth mentioning a few, but obviously uh sifting through policy issues to narrow the decision points for council, um, provide a synopsis of the cross section of the public's perspective.

You you know, obviously you gain that in some of the amazing perspective you got here tonight, some of the less amazing perspective you got here, being out in the community, lots of opportunities to kind of get that information, synthesize it, uh, give it to council, communicate it to council, uh, the bylaws call for quarterly, something to think about.

Um, I can assure you that everything that comes from all the boards and commissions, council looks at very carefully, weights it very heavily, um, very interested in it.

So it's not just a report that comes across our desks, but it's something that we really look closely at.

Um you got great staff.

We were really lucky in the city to have great staff and the boards and commissions.

I have a lot of experience with uh our top staff.

Um, but you know, there some of their main goals, uh, main uh roles are preparing meeting agendas, annotated agendas, meeting minutes, um, and for informed board and commission members regarding the issues, provide technical information, uh, provide information and tools to the board or commission in this case, so that uh members can do their jobs effectively, um, have a clarity of role, including a clear understanding that the staff member works for the city manager or designee and does not take direction from the board or commission.

And uh staff, of course, understands that the commission may come to a recommendation that does not uh reflect that of the staff member.

So those are a few things.

Um I think again, these are things we want to take a look at, maybe make some changes to, but for now, uh, these are the kind of our main guiding principles in working with boards and commissions, and I'll provide um a little more detailed information going forward.

Um, so that is pretty much my report.

I'm happy to answer any questions if anybody has them.

Go ahead.

Um, for the gentleman that showed up today and made a comment on Sound Transit, what is the best practice to ensure that feedback gets back to the right people and so that he can follow up specifically to ensure that it's heard and to see what actions are taken.

Kevin is the the best, the best one to answer that question and most of that kind of information and and those kinds of requests would flow through the staff.

Thank you, Deputy Mayor.

You're you're absolutely correct.

Um, and I would uh just uh also remind that this commission that um you have no role with respect to transit agencies or any other um other governmental agency, our our role is to advise the the city council uh staff has taken note of the issue that was brought forward.

Uh, and if if you know since Sound Transit is providing a briefing to the council, that may be an opportunity there to to further um flesh that out.

But I I will move that comment to the appropriate staff in the transportation department.

Next week at the council meeting might be just the perfect time to uh have comments like that uh presented.

So we'll have uh, you know, the our council meetings start off just the same way, basically.

So there's the public comment period, and that that would be a really good thing for anyone to bring to the council meeting.

Other questions?

Go ahead.

One thing that I think is great is when we have new uh liaisons come over to the different commissions and boards, um, that we have a cross-pollination of ideas and best practices.

So to the extent that you've seen things work really well in your old commission on parks, um, I would appreciate it if you're able to let us know, give us ideas, uh those sort of things.

Um, because I think being able to develop not only a standardized practice among the commissioners is is good, but also having a sharing of ideas in terms of what are the best practices and how we should run our commission.

Um I think one of the interesting items, for example, is you know, how do we act upon feedback from the public?

Uh, what is the appropriate venue for that?

What is the most effective way to stay within our lane yet still be the most effective in um representing the public's opinion?

Yeah.

I mean, it's I think always good to have just a general knowledge of kind of where the public is on various issues.

I think communicating to council regularly is a really helpful way to do that.

And then I think too, relying on staff to help make those uh connections is a good way to go.

I think really uh being prepared for the meetings, attending the meetings, um, just really being on top of uh what's coming to you in your council meetings.

That of course is the best place to start, make sure you're on it.

And then I think generally, uh at least the practice on the parks board and really the practice of the council is to rely on our staff for a lot of these follow-ups, though uh you all have email addresses at the city and um yeah, I'm sure you get emails from time to time uh from community members, and that also too is information that you can help kind of channel uh to the right place.

Kevin is the one uh who can really answer those questions kind of in the moment.

Um I have a lot of those questions all the time.

I'm actually was just emailing out in the lobby.

It's like I got an email.

I'm like, all right, who do I send this to?

I emailed someone to find out who I send it to.

So it can be a little bit tricky and it kind of depends on the situation, but uh good basic knowledge and funneling through staff, I think is is a great way to go about it.

Other questions?

Go ahead.

Yeah, um, I love the idea about maybe more of a maybe it's formal, maybe it's less formal quarterly communication between the council and the transportation commission.

Uh sometimes we've gotten pulled in, but usually it's because we're presenting something and we didn't have that sort of regular communication.

I think that would be really helpful.

And I'm looking forward to any ideas you have on that based on your experience and what you have.

Um yeah, and it is the practice.

I mean, all the boards and commissions have the same bylaws.

I think that's part of the process that's going on tonight to make sure they're all the same.

Um parks sends a quarterly communications to council.

It comes in our meeting packet.

So we see it there.

And I think that's something too that Kevin could uh help facilitate parks board uh staff liaison, prepares that communication, works with the chair and vice chair to fine-tune it, but provides just a little bit of an update about what's occurred in the previous quarter.

And I think it's really helpful too because uh, you know, we all get busy and sometimes I'll I'll learn a lot more about transportation by being here, but I'm not gonna learn as much about parks because I'm not there.

So to have this regular communication keeps the information current and keeps us all on the same page.

So I I think it's really helpful.

And uh council members, we read all this stuff and we talk about it, and so it it really is helpful.

It's uh it's worth the effort because we will pay attention to it.

Okay, go ahead.

Just to let you know, and to follow up on that, the the city clerk's office is working on a standardization, a template for communications to boards and commissions, so communications from the boards and commissions to the council, so that we're all providing sort of the same level of of information in a timely manner for council.

Okay, excellent.

Yeah, at the beginning when you were up tonight, you'd mentioned referred to the bylaws and specifically communication between the council and commissions.

Was there anything in particular you wanted to highlight or just in general?

Pay attention to that section of the bylaws.

I think it's just a really good practice.

And I think boards and commissions have just kept for whatever reason.

Um, it's a practice that just hasn't been kept up with.

And it's one that I've found was really uh helpful at parks.

And two, I think you know what it really kind of honors the work that you all do.

And I think that's one of the most important parts of it.

Um so just something that you know, for whatever reason, just it hadn't been kept up with.

And I I think it's really helpful for a lot of reasons.

Okay, perfect.

Any other questions, thoughts?

Oh, thank you.

Thank you for your time.

All right, do we have any reports from any of the commissioners?

I've got one.

Um the and I'm not what's the right name?

Happy hour reception of all the commissions, awards night recognition event.

There you go.

If my memory's correct, last year was the first time that it had happened since the pandemic.

And I went last year, and it was a really good event to because I know we always talk about other commissions and that.

It's a good event, casual, just to learn a little bit more about what's happening in other commissions and across the council, kind of an informal, you know, hour to spent with people.

So if you can go, I think it's it's worth the time.

So staff reports.

Kevin.

Okay, that was going to be one of my staff reports.

Stole your thunder.

So I I have a couple others.

Um, one is that you will probably notice that you received a complete PDF packet for of your agenda.

So it was all in one document that you could scroll through.

Um, so we in response to a request we we did that.

So let me know how that works out for you.

If you if you like that, we will continue to do that as a regular deliverable to you uh on agenda packet time.

Um, Kevin, Kevin, quick.

Sorry, I um I know I requ I requested it.

Thank you very much, but I missed where it was.

Was it oh I I sent it as an attachment to the hour message that I sent to and you have it in your packet or on your desk as well.

Okay.

All right.

Um so it it's coming up to commission election time.

Um, and uh what we typically do is accept nominations in the April-May time frame and and make a selection in June.

So that person will serve the rest of 2026 through June of 2027.

So um, again, it's it's about that time.

So be thinking about who you would like to have serve as chair and vice chair going forward.

I'll accept formal nominations at the May meeting, and then we'll we'll vote in June.

Okay.

Um the one item of substance in your packet is about the 2026 comprehensive plan amendments.

Um on November 25th of last year, the council unanimously approved two of your recommendations.

One was for the transportation facilities plan and one was for the mobility implementation plan.

As a result of the council adoption of those two plans, there is some minor um inconsistencies between those plans and the comprehensive plan.

And therefore on Tuesday night, council voted unanimously to direct staff and the commissions to work to reconcile those those inconsistencies.

A couple of the inconsistencies are in the transportation element with respect to the transportation facilities plan.

Remember, it went from a 12-year to a 20-year plan.

The comp plan says 12 years.

So we have to change that to 20 years.

Okay.

And in the mobility implementation plan, um, it incorporated all the components of the pedestrian and bicycle transportation plan.

So where the comprehensive plan refers to the ped bite plan, it will now refer to the mobility implementation plan.

Okay.

So there's one policy with respect to that and several locations within the narrative of the transportation element that some language adjustments will need to be made.

Those adjustments I showed you in your packet and they're on your desk right now.

Um we don't need to discuss them tonight if you unless you have any questions, but we'll bring them back to you in May for approval and a transmittal to the planning commission.

And of course, the planning commission is the ultimate deliverable of comprehensive plan amendments to the council.

So you're the first touch on those transportation policies, and we'll discuss those in May.

Yeah.

And if I can go back one topic on the elections, um for because I'm gonna be missing the May meeting.

Can I send an email to you beforehand or the spec, or just have to wait until the May time frame?

You have already submitted that's why I didn't know if it was legitimate, though, if it was acceptable.

Okay.

Consider your nomination on the record.

Okay.

All right.

That's what I wanted to make sure.

Okay, perfect.

All right.

Uh just a question uh generally, um, Kevin, on the comp plan and we've had this um kind of discussion before, but where the comp plan refers to the MIP.

Um that gives the flexibility to change the MIP.

The comp plan is typically changed no more than once per year, right?

But the MIP could be changed at any time, right?

So I'm trying to understand how, and I know that's been historically there.

I'm just trying to maybe you could reiterate how that works.

Uh so if we change the MIP, it has to go to the council for approval, right?

But does it does it bypass the planning commission in that scenario?

Okay.

Yes.

The only time uh, well, for for amendments to the mobility implementation plan that that would be directed to you to do that work from the council, and then your report, your deliverable would be directly back to the council.

Uh that it's it's not a planning commission issue.

To the extent that any policy issues emerge from working with the MIP, then that would go to the planning commission as a as a um the uh as the the what's the right word?

The conduit the the conduit from the transportation commission to the council for comprehensive plan amendments.

But I I you know the the comp plan is is generic enough in its referral to the MIP that if you amend portions of the MIP, it wouldn't necessarily require an amendment to the comprehensive plan.

And just to follow up on that, the uh revision of the MIP, can that be instigated by the commission, or does that have to come from the council?

It would be directed to you as part of your work program for the council.

So we would work together to identify the issues with the MIP that we wanted to address.

Staff and the commission would bring those to the council for their concurrence to direct the commission to do that work.

Thanks for the clarification.

Go ahead.

Just a question on terminology.

So when we talk about policy, so clearly the comp plan contains the policies.

Do each of the supporting documents contain policies or do they follow a different terminology?

In the past, um the the like the pedestrian bicycle transportation plan, for instance, had policies with Lynette.

Um since the the pedestrian bicycle transportation plan is gone now, um, there those policies are gone with it.

The the the trajectory of these um these mobility, these modal plans is to not have policies within them.

It's to it's really for implementation of policy in the comprehensive plan that these documents are intended to do.

So it there was an intention way back when to call it the mobility implementation plan because it is the in but it is the um it's a manifestation of policy.

It's the tool that takes you from policy to paint on the ground or concrete on the ground.

It tells you uh where the the performance targets are not meeting or the performance is not meeting the targets and then project concepts to address those issues.

Is that just a general best practice slash guideline, or is that actually the way that we're supposed to be across all commissions and boards thinking about the definition of policy?

I would say that that's the that that is the best practice to not have policy within the modal plans.

Thank you.

Okay.

So that's it for staff reports.

Uh moving on to item number six, public hearing.

We don't have one tonight, so that's a quick topic.

And moving on to into our study sessions.

So we do have the life's agenda, maybe that we've ever had, at least in my time here at least.

Uh, and it is going through the 2026 uh bylaws amendments.

We did review these in our last meeting, and Heather is here again tonight.

Um, she's the assistant uh city attorney, and she will be seeking approval.

So we are looking for an action here tonight on the required amendments for the transportation bylaws.

So, welcome, Heather.

Turn my mic on this time.

Uh good evening, Chair Stash, uh, deputy chair and commissioners.

So, as um mentioned, I am here to um follow up on my presentation of the uh amendments to the bylaws that we presented at the last meeting.

There are three substantive changes.

The first is um a change to the term limits.

Um so uh commissioners and uh board members would be limited to two terms.

Um, and after that would have to have a two-year period before serving on any other board or commission.

Um, the second change is an extension of the period of exclusion from 60 days to 180 days, and then there are also substantive um clarifications of the uh appeal process that would come with a period of exclusion.

Um so as mentioned, uh I presented these in the last meeting, and in accordance with the bylaws, um, I am here to uh present them for your final vote and action at your meeting.

Do we have any questions from anybody?

Pretty straightforward from the last meeting, so any questions in the in the room?

All right, sounds like we've got a motion on the table for approval.

I'll make a motion to approve.

Is there a second?

Seconded.

Yes, sir.

Any disagreement?

Okay, passes unanimously.

Could not have been easier.

Thank you for all your work on it.

Amazingly, that gets us through our study session for tonight.

Study sessions.

I can't believe we're here.

This is the shortest meeting ever.

Uh, do I have a motion to approve the minutes from the last the February 12th meeting?

As far as I know, there isn't any.

Anyone else have any?

Any new business?

No.

Wow.

All right, commission calendar.

Kevin, you're up.

The calendar takes a month off in April.

Um, we come back in in May for a few agenda items.

One is the the comprehensive plan amendments, the other is nominations for um chair and vice chair.

Um that one mic.

Oh, oh, Christy.

Christy's coming back with the public hearing and seeking your direction on the transportation improvement program.

Got it.

Okay, I forget.

Okay.

All right.

Anyone have anything to add to the calendar?

Okay.

Are there any objections to adjourning this meeting?

Wow, we are adjourned.

Unbelievable.
