Everybody to the March 18th, 2026 meeting of the Danbury Planning Commission. We will open with a roll call. Mr. Kyokio. Here. Ms. Hofstetter. Here. Mr. Nazario. Here. And that Chairman Finaldi is here. We do have a quorum. Commission members, I received a uh a letter that the mayor had appointed uh an alternate um uh to the planning commission. Eva Vega, three Crane Street, Danbury, Connecticut. Um, I believe uh she was sworn in, and uh I think the intent was to have her attend tonight, but I don't see her here on the Zoom meeting. But um but good. I uh Joe, I can't remember the last time we had an alternate, Joanne. When did we have an alternate last time? I I can't remember. Unless it was uh uh Hallis, he was wasn't it come out. Um Kevin Kevin Hoss. Yeah, and then he became a member. I that's the list I remember. Yeah, what year was that? I don't know, 1929. And um, and then we had Cheryl Wallace, uh Cheryl Wallace Smith, but she came in and out very quickly. So anyway, the good news is we have an alternate sworn in. The bad news is she's not here tonight. We're not sure when she's gonna attend her first meeting, but that's still movement in the right direction. Anyway, um, I'll read the Zoom intro.
