Hearing and seeing no objections, those minutes are adopted.

Yes for vote yes, votes are recorded for each of you.

Next we reserve space in the agenda to recognize visitors.

And this is of course the section in the agenda where we would take public comment uh from anyone wishing to share.

And we'll we'll do three minutes uh of public comment.

So as those of you may want to think about what you have to say, I want to I want to yield to Commissioner Garza because you have a communication, do you not?

Uh yes, I do.

Um I had the honor of uh represent representing the commission on uh November uh November the twentieth uh at the New Mexico Cup, which is a soccer tournament that was held here November 22nd and 23rd.

Uh we had a lot of teams from everywhere.

It was very well attended and well organized.

It got a little cold and uh I was glad to see our mayor, Commissioner Pala there, uh be part of that uh celebration.

And um the biggest thing that we have to show is this wonderful trophy presented to the city uh for the lodger stacks contribution to their wow.

How nice.

So this is uh just to show how well this uh tournament was organized and uh I talked to a lot of people and they say they were were very very pleased and they they are looking forward to coming back to Clovis.

We had people uh teams from El Paso, Midland, Roswell, Lubbock, uh, San Antonio, uh which uh uh Amarello Denver, uh Denver was one of the winners on the tournament.

They had different levels, so there was kids playing on Sunday, and it was just a wonderful thing to see.

So that's so nice of them to to give the city uh that trophy uh as a as a show of appreciation.

We you know we appreciate Walter and the whole team for putting on such a fantastic event in our community and I I think his I think his uh New Mexico Cup is getting a lot of recognition in the soccer world as as a really hot tournament.

Uh I'm glad you say that.

He's gonna be attending uh present uh uh an award ceremony in Houston, Texas.

Uh and is he was recognized for having the best soccer tournament at the amateur level, which is something uh that that we haven't seen here in close uh I don't think ever.

So other than softball.

But this is something that we can grow on.

Fantastic.

Very nice.

Thank you for sharing that with us Commissioner and for representing uh us all uh in with uh with Walter and the team uh that put on New Mexico Cup okay uh we'll take uh we'll take public comment uh is there anyone that wants to share Mr.

Mews Mayor Mayor Pro Tim and Commissioners um back again same subject um I'm extremely concerned about the way the Rocino thing has been handled um I I think back to when we had the um the cosmetic thing with Gala when they came in and we made them a loan for two million dollars and they disappeared it was rush rush rush we got to get it done got to get it done gotta get it done I think we're in the same shape now this is a major major thing we're taking on when you were working on the or as you're probably still working on the water easements the conservation easements worked pretty good till you got to perpetuity and I think people began to balk about perpetuity well this Racino will be for perpetuity once we get it we can't ever get rid of it.

I question you and I know how it came about when you were informed and how long it was before it was made public and during that period of time I don't expect an answer but I'll raise a question how much vetting did you do?

Did you talk to other Racino communities?

Did you see what economic impact it had?

Did you see how much their gross receipts were compared to the extra expenditures that they had Mr Blanchard to the best of my knowledge has not even been here for a public appearance.

You have been the the liaison and the representative I don't believe that you were elected to be the representative of a Racino and to bring gambling to Clovis I think you were elected to represent the citizens of Clovis and I admire you for economic development that's good.

But I don't believe that you've done a study on what the grocery seats would be compared to the additional expense I don't believe that you've checked with other committee other cities to see what their expense is maybe have I don't know that we there's several things that I have found out about Mr.

Blanchard and his operation I don't think Mr.

Blanchard is in compliance with the 2005 House Bill 0684 on reporting the habitual gamblers his wife there's a there's a fee that they hold out of racinos to to treat the habitual gamblers and and try to remediate that and uh Mr Blanchard ex wife draws a hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year salary to do that the I think Mr.

Mews uh you've you've used up your time so if you want to finish up your your last thought please okay um I think that you have a the company that markets the Clovis to other and tries to bring industry in I would like for someone on the commission to consult with them and see what a Racino would do to our rating how how would prospective businesses look at Clovis differently I recommend that you uh rescind your letter of support and that you hold a public meeting so that the public has input and that you put the brakes on bringing this racino in so quick is there anyone else wishing to provide public comments Hello Race Doreau Clovis so I didn't think I'd be up here so soon but you guys have wrangled me in.

Hello, Ray Store, Clovis.

So I didn't think I'd be up here so soon, but you guys have wrangled me in.

This is only my third meeting, and I've just been so excited.

I want to go over something that I've brought up.

I I would like to change the format of the government here from commission manager to mayor uh council.

I believe that we're headed towards uh time in our country where we need to do what the federal government cannot do and funnel our snap and wick and all those programs back into the government rather than sending it on to China.

China has uh capitalized on our capitalism and we need to stabilize it.

Let's see here.

This will help eliminate food deserts.

I also want to create a script where we can reward volunteers and employees of the government.

And then my next one would be to attract an investor where we can make a cryptocurrency based on the economy of our city.

Doing this will make us kind of a center point not only for the country but the world on how to emulate us.

Uh I plan to be in the commission for two years, and then I will run for mayor for the next two terms.

After that, I am going to go on to the state level, legislature or governor.

Um I've been advised very highly to come to you with this.

Um I was just going to go straight to the voters.

But I think that's why you were elected to bypass this.

To do this on my own to go to straight to the voters, I would only need to get 900 signatures.

That's not very many, but I wouldn't want Jamie to have to go through all 900 of those signatures.

I can get help, but she has to do it all on her own, I think.

Um I want to do this because when I become mayor, I want to make sure that I'll be able to talk to everybody.

Mr.

Mayor, uh is it just a coincidence that you and George Jared have the same last name, or are you actually brothers?

It's a coincidence.

We're not related.

Okay.

You're not related.

Okay.

But if you were, you couldn't even ask your own brother how he liked his job, right?

That would be against the law.

You'd have to ask Justin, and then Justin would have to ask him.

And then he'd have to relay his message back to you.

I'm I'm not sure that that's the case, but I I don't want to.

Jared.

Is that right?

Do I have the the right of that?

Uh actually no, I'm not an employee of the city.

I'm an independent contractor hired directly by the commission.

Okay.

So my point stands.

Anyhow, so it would also cost us 40,000 to put on a special election.

If the commission puts it through, then we can get it on the ballot for this coming election.

Okay.

Well, I have if you have any questions, I would love to answer them.

And I'll be out here after the meeting to answer them as well.

I okay.

And you you have used up your time, so thank you for for wrapping up.

And I would just uh, you know, I just as a comment, interesting ideas.

Uh you know, I think you've you've declared your your candidacy for uh District 4 uh city commission seat a couple of times from the podium there, and so what I would say is just respectfully, you know, we're we're going forward.

We're not gonna let you use the podium there in public comment to campaign, okay?

Sure, sure.

I mean, well, and uh officially you announced that uh you'll also be running for mayor uh this evening as well as perhaps governor or or the state legislature, and so I guess uh it's equal opportunity at least.

But uh we're we're not gonna have campaigning going on during public comment as we as we head into that election cycle early next year.

So just a thought.

Thanks for bringing these ideas and uh perhaps we could visit uh after the meeting.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Is there anyone else that wishes to provide public comment?

I see Ms.

Barbara Rigan, our senior services director making her way up.

Ms.

Rigan, good evening.

Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tim, and Commissioners.

Um first of all, I wanted to thank Commissioner Casals, Commissioner Garza, Mayor for coming out and helping us serve on Thanksgiving at our senior center.

Um but I wanted to bring to the public's attention a couple of activities that we have coming up coming to the uh Christmas season.

Um so we're really excited for December the 11th at 2 p.m.

We are going to have Andy Mason in concert at our facility, Hillcrest Senior Life Center at 1704 East 7th Street.

Um the concert is free.

We are serving cookies and hot cocoa, so that should entice anybody to come in and have some cookies.

Um the 12th, we are going to have Santa Claus.

So we have a real live Santa Claus taking photos with our seniors, and we're gonna um take uh eight by ten, laminate it, and the seniors will get that as part of their Christmas present.

Um we have lots of things going on at the at the Hillcrest Senior Life Center.

Um the 19th, we will be having our Christmas luncheon.

Um so seniors 60 plus can come into the facility, register, and um it's a suggested donation of four dollars.

Um I would encourage seniors who are not registered with our facility if you'd like to come in ahead of time because we cannot register on that day.

Um so lunch will be served from 11 to 1230, and I am still looking for volunteers.

So 11 to 12.30.

I'll see you there.

Thank you, Mayor.

Mayor Pro Tem and Commissioners.

Uh I I know that looked so I got the point.

Thank you.

And and Mayor um shoots a pretty good poll game, too.

So y'all are all welcome to stick around afterwards and play poll.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas to you.

Fun.

Uh any more public comment.

Or Mayor Pro Tim or Commissioners, do you have anything to share in communications?

Nope.

Very well.

We will move on in uh the agenda to the consent agenda.

You have the opportunity to consider handling two items all at once this evening in the consent agenda as recommended by uh Mr.

Howalt.

Uh item one is request for approval to respond to RFP 202604 uh provision of services for older New Mexicans.

Item two, request for approval of acceptance of Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation, OLDCC grant and the amount of 478,038 dollars and award RFP 250625-08 IAW 2 CFR 200 uh Canon Air Force Base Military Installation Readiness Review Plan 2 Matrix Design Group Incorporated.

Is there a motion to place the items?

So moved.

Motion comes from Commissioner Porter.

Second.

Second comes from Commissioner Garza.

Please vote.

We have Commissioner Jones online.

He's gonna try to vote from online from where he's located this evening, and we'll see how the voting system works.

Do we have um let's see?

Has everyone voted?

Yes.

I just have six votes in.

Yeah, you can go.

You disappeared, Megan.

What's me missing?

There we go.

I think that was user error.

I apologize.

Come on, Commissioner.

Sorry.

All right.

So you've all voted using the system.

That's exciting.

Uh the vote is unanimous and the motion has carried.

I would now entertain a motion to approve or acknowledge both of these items.

So move.

And from Commissioner Cassals.

Second comes from Commissioner Porter.

Please vote.

And that looks like all of them.

And the vote is 8 to 0.

The motion has carried.

Thank you.

We're on to introduction and adoption of resolutions and ordinances.

The first item there is request for approval of introduction of an ordin ordinance relating to health and safety in chapter 8 of the city, or excuse me, of the Clovis City Code and creating new code chapter 8.18 camping on private property.

It's come to my attention and as I as a visit uh to others as well that we we may have we may have missed something.

Uh and I'm I'm asking you to consider uh going back and and getting something that I think we missed, and that is uh the incidents in in which uh a private property owner may uh casually grant permission to someone uh to camp on their private property.

Um in doing so not necessarily the look out for uh that being done in a way that's safe for uh for the person doing the camping or for the neighboring properties uh and and so on.

And so if you look, uh I know you've had the opportunity to review, but the the language that that I'm I'm asking you to consider um in introducing uh this evening uh really um if I were to put it in a nutshell, it says uh that a private property owner is more than welcome.

We're we're happy to have a private property owner make the decision to allow camping on their property, but that they should do so by written permission uh to the individuals that would be doing the camping, uh, and that that activity should happen in an enclosed area of their property.

Um so simply put, uh you know, casually saying you could camp here uh doesn't work, you would need to give written permission.

I think that's a good idea for the property owner to know who it is uh that that that would be coming and going.

Um and then again uh that that activity would happen in the enclosed areas of their their private property.

So no doubt I've uh not fully explained this, and there may be questions and discussion.

What what questions or discussion would you have?

Mayor.

Yes, I have a question.

Um I don't know who this would be directed to, but I see a lot of travel trailers that are parked in front of a house that I know people are living in.

Is that allowed?

I mean it's not an enclosed area.

And it's not in city property.

But so I've I see the the attorney has pulled his microphone down.

You can pull it back down.

So I'll I'll uh I'll yield to to Mr.

Morris to speak to that.

But I think the the answer is that that's not allowed, and it is addressed at in another place in code uh where we address recreational vehicles and camper trailers and those kinds of things.

That's correct.

It that is so it's a violation under 1548 20 to park any trailer and trailer includes RV.

It's a pretty general definition, it's long, so I'm not gonna read it, but I can give it to you if you'd like.

But it it encompasses what you would think would be a travel trailer, a truck with a camper shell, all that.

So to park any trailer on any street, alley, or highway, or other public place or on any tract of land owned by any person occupied or unoccupied within the city except as provided in this chapter.

It then goes on to state that you can't use it uh a trailer, you can park it, but you can't use it for quote permanent occupancy.

And so although the code's 40 or 50 years old, you know, after some thought and talking to Justin and doing some research, I think the intent I I think they purposely left that that term permanent vague because they didn't want to put a time limit on it.

They didn't know how to define it at the time they adopted this ordinance, and so they just they left it as a prohibition on permanent occupancy.

And so that's where it comes, it's a little tricky to enforce because it's not against the ordinance to have a relative show up with a a camper and stay for Christmas, you know.

Uh but to occupy it permanently is and then of course I don't know how how often people get cited or or called for that.

I would have to defer to code enforcement.

But that is certainly a violation.

Um ultimately, if we felt like it was permanent or prolonged, and the dictionary definition of that would just be you don't have a set end date.

You know, you it's an indefinite stay.

I think that would meet the definition of permanent.

So ultimately, if somebody did get cited for that, it would be up to Judge Kelly to determine whether or not she thought it was a permanent occupation and they could make their arguments, etc.

So that's sort of how it's handled now.

Although we're in we're in the middle of a long exhaustive code overall.

And um we weren't looking at this to necessarily change anything substantive, but we do want to kind of clean up some of the old language and reconcile what's in chapter 15 with what's in another chapter in our UDO chapter 17.

So uh we're looking at revamping it, but right now that's how our code reads that it's only illegal if it's a permanent occupation.

Thank you.

Good question, Commissioner Casals.

Thank you.

Um discussion, debate.

Um I do have a question.

Yes, Commissioner Zamora.

It goes back to squatters.

Um if say someone was camping on private property, are they gonna be looked at as squatters and can't do anything about it?

Oh, I oh I don't know about that.

It I mean I know that's kind of like a broad question, but we can't do anything with squatters, but if they're pitching a tent on private property, I actually think that's a little bit of a kind of a common misconception.

Um there's no such thing as squatters' rights.

And so what happens is when people in a residence claim that they have a contract or the ability to be in the residence, you know, and they say, I'll oh, I'm leasing this, or I have a rental agreement.

Then the police usually when they're called, they say, you know, we don't we can't enforce this, we can't trespass these people because you're saying that they're not allowed to be in here, they're saying that they're allowed to be here.

You guys are just gonna have to file a civil lawsuit and and figure it out.

So I think that's what you mean by it's it's difficult to oftentimes to remove people.

Now, if somebody admits that I'm just here, I don't have a written lease agreement, you know, I don't have permission to be here, then they can they're easy easily removed.

But it's when they especially when they forge like a written agreement or when they claim to have a written lease agreement, that's where it gets very tricky to kick them out.

So without um, you know, if it was like a vacant property or somebody camping on a tent, I think it would be harder for them to claim that they had some sort of you know written or author or other authority to be there.

But that's just my thought.

Thank you.

Yeah, thank thanks for that question.

And and that's a great example of you know how I think we need to think about it all.

And I and I do I appreciate you uh commissioners allowing me to bring this to you for consideration.

I just think that uh I think this was a miss uh when we prohibited camping uh because uh now uh what what I'm seeing happening is you know people camping and and claiming that they have permission from the property owner or in fact do have permission from the property owner, but the other folks that are coming and going and and doing the same activity don't necessarily have permission from the property owner, and all of this is being done without regard for how it impacts neighboring properties.

And so I think it would uh allow this would this would certainly allow a property owner who wishes to make their property available for camping.

It would allow them to do that, but I think it would it would uh it would place some some guardrails on it and and really have them do it in maybe a more thoughtful way than than what's happening, uh which is going to be safe and and respectful for everyone involved, and and so that that's why I've brought it.

Mayor, I don't have a question, but I do have a comment.

Um I think that this also helps protect the uh surrounding homeowners and their property values and their quality of life as well.

So I appreciate this addition.

Thank you for bringing it.

Thank you, Commissioner.

Is that a motion?

I motion to approve.

We have a motion for approval from Commissioner Tarsen.

Second, second from the mayor pro tem further discussion or debate.

Hearing and seeing none, it's been properly moved and seconded that you would approve introduction of an ordinance relating to health and safety as uh as described and uh regulating uh camping on private property.

Please vote.

Can I ask a question, Council?

This is introduction, is still coming back for final approval 30 days from now, so people have time to uh comment on this, right?

They have time to comment, Commissioner, and also to remind you that you are still able to make changes all the way up until the day of adoption.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good question.

Thank you for that.

The vote's eight to zero, unanimous.

The motion is carried.

Thank you.

Next, we have uh two items that are similar, both uh requests for approval of adoption of resolutions authorizing the abatement by demolition of an unsafe building or structure.

The first is resolution number three three four eight-2025 pertaining to a building or structure located at 408 Tennessee Street.

The second is resolution number 3349-2025 related to a structure or a building at 508 Heaslet.

Um we are familiar with this.

These come uh as recommendations from building safety.

Our attorney uh prepares the resolution and brings it to you.

And um our attorney may have some comment on these specific items.

Mr.

Morris.

Thank you, Mayor.

So the first item, 408 Tennessee is a request for a demolition.

The second one is just a request to secure the structure.

Uh 408 Tennessee is a mobile home here within the city limits of Clovis.

The property owner is Emma Fain and the pictures of the property again on packet page 32.

Uh I've also attached a letter from Mr.

Wilt if the pictures aren't an explanation enough where he opines that the structure, in his opinion, his expert opinion is incapable of being repaired.

Um this particular structure is housed trespassers and has been a public nuisance to the health, safety, and welfare to the city of Clovis.

So the Department of Building Safety is requesting permission to demolish this structure and to remove the related debris, uh debris, rubbish, and garbage.

The other property 508 Heeslet, although it looks uh very bad as well, it in Mr.

Wilt's opinion, it's you know the damage that you see and and most of the the issue is is repairable and it just needs to be cleaned up, but it does need to be secured because you can tell the the windows and doors are not secured.

Those photographs begin on packet page 43.

And so the property owner on that property, 508 Heaslet is Rebecca Duffield, and the Department of Building Safety in the interest of health safety and welfare is requesting permission just to secure that property.

Thank you.

Commissioner Cassals.

I think 508 He slid has been secured before, hasn't it?

I I'm almost sure that it has come before us before.

Yeah, I'm not I would have to look just take me a second to look, but I can look if you would like, Commissioner.

I move for approval.

Would you like to craft that motion to deal with both?

We both of them yes.

Okay.

We have a motion for approval coming from Commissioner Cassals for uh resolutions 3348 and 3349.

Is there a second or second?

Second from uh Commissioner Garza.

Is there discussion?

Hearing and seeing none, it's been properly moved and seconded that you would approve adoption of resolutions numbers 3348-2025 and 3349-2025.

Please vote.

The vote is unanimous and the motion has carried on both uh resolutions and I will get those signed and they can be uh sent to the property owners.

That will do it for that section.

So we're on to new business where we have one item, and it is request for approval of City of Clovis legislative capital outlay priorities.

Um process that we're familiar with and one that perhaps Mr.

Howalt wants to give us some direction on.

Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tim, and Commissioners.

Uh as the mayor alluded to, it's that time of year for our capital outlay request to be submitted uh to the state for this upcoming legislative session.

They're actually due uh into the system uh by December the twelfth.

Uh and we actually delayed this process for as long as possible uh this year in bringing it to you because we are waiting to hear back on uh some other grant opportunities that we had applied for, and unfortunately uh in regards to the animal shelter were actually unsuccessful in receiving.

And so we uh did put a list together for you to consider this evening uh of capital uh improvements or capital outlay requests.

Uh the first one is actually uh for the second phase of the animal shelter, that's the one that we did apply for the three million dollars uh for this upcoming session through a different avenue, but uh like I said our project was not selected to move forward.

And so uh for your consideration would be to put that through our normal capital outlay request to our legislators.

The request is it we do need three million dollars.

Uh we do recognize the fact, unless Commissioner Zamore is going to tell us differently, uh that uh our legislators don't get that type of uh capital outlay funding.

Uh so what w if this put to uh project is selected, we would split that one and a half million dollars towards our legislators and then potentially request the governor's office for the additional one and a half million dollars.

Uh the other item that you may choose from this evening would be uh $500,000 uh from to continue to make improvements in our parks.

Obviously we have made lots of improvements uh through the last couple of years.

Uh and so we just want to continue making those improvements uh that that we've been going about.

Uh we also have the uh Brady sewer line on there that's also on our ICIP list.

That's for $700,000 uh for your consideration.

And that is actually to uh we have a sewer line that uh runs on Thornton uh north and south, and then we have the main line on Brady.

Uh the main line on Brady uh is near capacity, and so what this would do would be to connect those two lines just in case the uh sewer line on Brady stages up to a to a certain point, it would allow it to overtop and go down additional uh down that Thornton line itself.

Uh the final project that we have for your consideration this evening is uh the this the community has continued to grow east and northeast, and this is an item that uh uh the fire department has been looking at for a while is where do we locate the next fire station so we have full coverage of our community.

Uh and so wanted to put for you uh for consideration this evening would would be $800,000 toward uh purchasing property for that next fire station uh as well as to start the design on that next fire station.

Obviously, we would have to find future construction funding for that.

But uh those are the items that we picked off of the ICIP list uh for your consideration.

Of course, uh Claire did attach the uh full ICIP list uh to your packet uh in case there's any others on there.

So uh with that I'll stand for any questions.

Uh but once again, knowing that all of these uh are are needed projects, but also recognizing the fact that our legislators only can allocate around that 1.2, 1.5 million dollars that we've traditionally seen in the past.

So happy to stand for any questions.

Thank you.

Thanks, Mr.

Howalt, appreciate the explanation.

Mayor Pro Tim and Commissioners uh each time uh each time we work on this, we you know we can look down that ICIP and say, gosh, there's a project that's in you know kind of an important one to me.

I want to put I want to drag it up.

But uh we also know that simply having the ICIP and and keeping that updated and having projects on there always gives us the opportunity to go after funding if if those opportunities arise.

Um I think that the the proposed you know list of priorities makes sense.

I think that a strategy uh where we talk with our our our legislators about you know 1.5 million.

I mean, that's a number that's that's close to what what they've been able to award us uh the the last couple of years and and in particular if we can have those those talks with them and the governor's office uh about the other half.

You know, it might be that the getting 1.5 uh well a total of three for our animal shelter would be a a really good thing to try to get done because that's just been such a you know, where are we gonna get the money to do this, you know, kind of thing.

And um uh you know, if uh if for some reason that strategy were to break down if we're if we're hearing and and understanding that uh that our our lawmakers and or the governor uh don't feel like they can come in at those kind of levels on that project, then you know, listing the other smaller ones uh gives our legislators opportunity to fund those other projects as well.

So that would kind of be our strategy go for the animal shelter, and if for some reason we need to pivot, we've listed these other priorities that our lawmakers can consider funding.

Thoughts.

Mayor, I think that's that's correct.

Uh we've been dealing with the animal shelter for years, and that is a lot of money, but we've got to start somewhere.

I move for approval if there's no other questions.

Well I'll make sure we have time for questions, but I want to note that we do have the motion for approval from Commissioner Cassows.

Second from Commissioner Garza discussion.

Mayor I just have one question.

Yes ma'am.

And Justin, does it doesn't matter where it's listed on the ICIP, correct?

That's correct.

They generally just asked where if it's on your ICIP.

Okay.

That was all yeah great great question and uh uh to you know an opportunity to highlight that that fact right there we we we just definitely want our our projects listed and uh that gives us the opportunity to pursue funding if the opportunities come up other questions I have a question but it doesn't pertain to the capital outlay for now um what about the lighting capital outlay the for the from the past have we I had a constituent call and asked me when we're doing the lighting and I said I'll ask correct yeah no we we finally received all the grant agreements uh from the last legislative session and so uh I guess what's going to be on the next public works agenda giving us some direction on where they would like for us to install residential street lights you're welcome and we did receive two hundred thousand on that right that is correct and since you've you've brought it up we we do have we we already have installed some of those solar street lights correct yeah we are completely finished with the original two hundred thousand dollars we received two years ago and so those are uh already installed yeah the first round of funding has already been put to work or correct it's been accomplished so yeah great thank you for that question other questions related to uh the legislative capital outlay priorities it has been properly moved and seconded that you would approve the City of Clovis legislative capital outlay priorities as described and please vote the motion has passed unanimously thank you that does it for action uh this evening we'll get into reports is there a report from LEPC Commissioner Commissioner Samora did do you serve on LEPC I do mayor but I was not in the meeting I was mayor mayor pro demand commissioners I I was able to attend the LEPC meeting good and I'm glad someone can report on this we are dying right if we're so uh and we did have some attendance to this we still did not have a quorum and so one thing that the group is actually going to start doing is looking and reviewing their bylaws as compared to what we have in our ordinance uh in making sure that if we need to pair or pivot uh what our bylaws look at uh the we need to and so there actually is going to be a small working group of r that's made up that is going to start taking a look at that so hopefully we'll start making some progress on that.
