Um, if you do have questions, we're happy to make note of them. Either the clerk or somebody else will make note of them and follow up with you afterwards with that information. Okay. Helen, go ahead. Hello, my name is Helen Klamovich, 1218 Oklahoma Avenue. Um, I wanted to discuss a possible change to I don't know if it's an ordinance that needs to be adjusted, but we're having an issue with a neighbor parked behind us in the alley, and they're parking partially into the alley. And when I've contacted the police and I've I've gone through counsel, you know, what do I do as far as this? Um as far as code enforcement or um what else there's nothing in there that prevents them from doing so as long as a car gets through. And a car can get through, it's very tight. And we've had part of our property run over, the neighbors had some of their cinder blocks hit, our rebar that was like our property line that was hit um when this plow came through, it could not get through and had to angle the plow, so our all the snow was dumped in front of our parking pad. And my concern is that it's a nuisance. It's I cannot park two vehicles back there, I can only do one. And an emergency vehicle will not be able to get through, so it's also a hazard in that manner. Um they did move it at one point because the registration had been expired for two years, and then it came back the next week with a new registration and it just sits there. So I don't I don't know what can be done as far as if there's like a minimum number of feet that have to be for clearance for emergency vehicles for an alley, because just to have it specify alley. I I'm at a loss here because I I've already had this spoken back and forth for a while
