I appreciate that. Very very diplomatic of you. Thank you. All right. We are going to call the executive committee meeting to order for August 27, 2026. It is now 9 30. Barbara, you have the floor. Thank you. We do have a quorum. Uh school boardman member Zieman is on his way. Um, but we are getting started, so I'm sure he may soften here. Uh, thank you. So this morning, uh item uh one on your agenda is a local planning agency review. Um, and as you know, as the local planning agency to the Broward County Board of Commissioners, there are some uh code of ordinance changes that require uh your finding of consistency with the Broward County land use plan, and this proposed revision is one of those. Um, I'm just gonna give you a very quick high-level summary of this. And this is really related to the collection of concurrency and impact fees, um, as that has not been happening since 2024. And the county staff has prepared a um that was to comply with Florida statutes because the studies hadn't been done within the last four years, and then like any new uh fee would have to have 100 percent of the commission or council to to vote on it. Ellen and uh school board member seaman is walking in as we speak. Um so this uh this will uh is in compliance with the county plan and with the adoption of Broward next, we're actually striking through these policies because if there is no collection right now currently of impact fees or concurrency fees, there's no reason to have those policies in the Broward County Land Use Plan. So these revisions should be sound should be found in compliance with Broward County Land Use Plan. And Darby Dalsal from the County staff is here if you have any specific questions about the uh the code changes. Excellent. Questions about the changes. Okay. Do we need a motion? Yes, uh a motion just to uh find it generally consistent, and then that will be forwarded to the full council at your 10 o'clock meeting. Second. Okay. Okay. We have a motion and second. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you. I'm sorry, could you just say who made the motion in the second? About four people. Yeah. So I'm gonna I'm I'll just pick one. We'll go with Mayor Brunson made the motion. Okay. And uh Mayor Gomez seconded. Okay, thank you. Okay. Items two and three, I will defer to the chair. All right. Well, this is my favorite time of year. And you know what? It's getting easier for me to write these because I take off last year's, change the date, and basically say the exact same thing, maybe in a little different order. But if you put them next to each other, if you put them next to each other, they look similar. So, like I did, uh Legit, I'm not going to read the entire in entire memo, but we're going to start with uh Andy and the council's attorney uh and my evaluation.
