I should say we uh recessed from closed session and we will be returning after the regular meeting to finish up from closed session. But um, Mr. City Attorney, we do have one report out from closed session so far. Um that is direction to initiate or intervene in an action was given the action, the defendants and the other particulars will, once formally commenced, be disclosed to any person upon inquiry, unless to do so uh would jeopardize the city's ability to effectuate service or process on one or more of the unserved parties, or that to do so would jeopardize its ability to conduct existing settlement negotiations to its advantage. Alright, great. Thank you. Um next is special presentations item five. We do not have any tonight. Uh item six is public comments on items not on the agenda. This portion of the meeting is reserved for persons wishing to address the body on any city matter not on the agenda. The period for public comment at this point is limited to 15 minutes with a maximum of three minutes per speaker, and uh the body may also go ahead and um continue the public comments on items on the agenda at the end of the meeting if uh it goes long. Just a reminder the mayor has the authority to rule any speaker out of order, including speakers during the public comment period if the subject raised is not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the city council during a public hearing or a general business item if the speaker is not presenting testimony or evidence relevant to the matter, or if the speaker becomes disruptive to the proceedings and conduct of the meeting. Madam Clerk, do we have any speakers for item six?
