So I'll be chairing this city council work session with the zoning board of adjustment.

So for some of you if you haven't been with the ZBA or even on city council very long, we are supposed to meet with our boards and commissions on a somewhat routine basis.

We have done a pretty good job of that prior to the pandemic and then after the pandemic, we haven't done a good job of that.

The mayor board has been focused on uh trying to get these meetings back on our Tuesday schedule.

Um so what we have on our agenda is just an open discussion about the the ZBA, how things are going for you, what kind of support if any you would need from us, and so what we'll do is we'll go around the room, we'll have everybody uh tell us who they are, uh their capacity, and how long they've been doing it, and I just want to start off the conversation by thanking everyone on the ZBA because you are volunteers and you do a very important job, and so we appreciate the time that you give uh to the city of Davenport uh freely.

So thank you, and we'll start with Alderman Blunk and go around this one.

Um so the the CBA I in the in the six years I've now.

So first of all, I I started in the fall of 20, and this is the first time we got together, so it uh um what Kyle said earlier uh makes sense of why that is.

Um but I but I I appreciate the opportunity and I look for coming back with uh the workfront group.

Um the ZBA uh I'll say in the six years is has had some ups and downs personnel-wise, you know, or we're five-person board.

Um there was a and we have to have three, and there was a time that we struggled a little bit.

We were running with four.

I think we were down to three at one point.

Um but we've been pretty steady with this group uh for the uh the the newest ones are still like year and a half.
