Okay, hello. Welcome to the historic district commission meeting for uh Tuesday, May 13th. I'm gonna start with a roll call. Uh Michael. Josh. Present. David. Present. Don. Present. Nancy. Here. And Brian is here as well. Um Sharnikar Anna Scott, could I ask you to read procedures into the record, please? I'll now read into the record the following. The commission operates under NC General Statutes 160 Dine40, which gives local government's historic preservation authority and the Chapel Hill Land Use Management Ordinance, including Article 3, which establish the local historic districts and sets forth regulations governing them. And the Chapel Hill Historic District's design principles and standards, which sets forth standards for changes in the historic districts, and the rules of procedure adopted by the Chapel Hill Historic District Commission, as well as the significance reports from all three historic districts and photos. I also call to your attention each of the applications and associated materials in your agenda packet. All of these items are hereby entered into the record. Thank you. Thank you, Anna Scott. And I'll now read the public charge. Okay. I think that's all we have to say about that. So Anna Scott and Shanika distributed a copy of the agenda for this meeting as a preread. If there's no questions about the agenda or any amendments to the agenda, I'd like to ask for an approval in a second. And Brian. Yep. We might need some a change to the agenda. Okay, please. So with the materials, um, you have the application for Laura Moore. She was a um a candidate that the commission interviewed last September. And so her application is still active, and town staff are getting like candidates ready to send to council for appointments. So we're going to ask if you would review her application and make a recommendation. Okay, thank you for that. And well, I think we'll add that to the first discussion item at the end of the agenda once we take care of COAs tonight. So I think the agenda would be amended to include the application for Laura, and we would do that in discussion items. I think with if there's no other changes, I'd ask for someone to approve the agenda. So moved. Thank you, David. And I'll say Nancy second. So uh all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Okay, that passes. Thank you. Uh, are there any announcements this evening? Um remind commissioners that you still have the CLT training requirements to meet. Um we need two commissioners to do that, and the Arder preservation workshop that'll happen on May 29th. Um, you could attend to to meet that requirement. I have a question about that.
