Thank you very much.

Okay, moving on to item number six, the consent agenda.

Now, just for everyone's benefit, let me give you a background on a on a consent agenda.

All the items listed on the consent agenda may be enacted by one motion and one roll call vote of the planning and zoning commission.

There will be no separate discussion on those items unless a commission member saw requests, in which event the item will be removed from the consent agenda and considered in its normal sequence on the agenda.

Just background.

Okay, um, I would like to um read the uh items and then we'll remind our public hearing.

Okay, item 8.

Luke's house for behavioral health.

It's a request from Summit Cherry Federico on behalf of Luke's House of Be for Behavioral Health, PLLC, for a recommendation to the City Council on the following applications located for property at 99 South E Street.

Case number GPA 2025-004, a general plan amendment from public slash institutional and medium uh density residential to neighborhood commercial, consisting of approximately one acre of land.

Case number RZ 2025-001.

It's an amendment to the zoning map or rezone from multiple family residential or three to neighborhood commercial C1 and maintaining the downtown core overlay zone, uh consisting of approximately one half acre of land and case number CP 2025-07, which is a conditional use permit for a health slash medical facility or clinic consisting of approximately one half acre of land.

So we've got three three items here.

Um I'd like to open the public hearing on this consent item.

Um we have any like to address the commission on this topic.

Okay, thank you.

Come on up, state your name, your address.

My name is Kylie Maman, um, 131 South Ottawa, and here at Eloy.

Um, I just want to note that access to mental health facilities are is extremely hard in a rural community, and having one in our backyard would make a tremendous difference, not only to the elder population or the adult population, but for our youth.

Um I work for the Eloy School District as a teacher, and we have one counselor for three schools, who is doing their best to meet the needs of well over 600 students and staff, and that caseload in and of itself, not only is our counselor achieving making sure their needs are met, but she also works for other outside um health services as well for mental health, and I think this would be a tremendous asset to our community where we get what we need for people here who may not have the resources to travel to get mental health.

Um it doesn't seem like it would make that much of a difference, but I can tell you with working with the youth, and as someone who's had lived in rural communities and needed to seek services before in my life, this would would have made a difference for me as a youth.

This would have made a difference for me as an adult, and I know if there's a lot of people in this community that could benefit from a service like this.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate your input.

By the way, thank you for being a teacher.

I was once many decades ago.

That's what I do.

Oh right.

We have tough jobs.

Okay, thank you very much.

Okay, yes.

Hi, I belinda Sherwood.

Um live here in Eloy, grew up here, parents grew up here and everything.

Um, actually grew up like down the street from where they want to open up the clinic, and I just wanted to say too, like it would be something beneficial here.

Um, I know we have Panel Hispanic, and they're they're great, they have a long wait list, which because there's a high need for mental health, but especially for the youth.

Um my son, who's now 10, when he was about four years old, I had to take him to an Al Hispanic, and they tried, they tried their best, but they weren't really more, they didn't work more for it towards youth, it was more adults and other things that they did.

So I ended up having to take him to Tucson to another place, and it was back and forth driving, and it was hard, but you know, we did what we had to do.

But um, if there was another place here that's more towards youth too and have more options for them, it would help a lot.

And like Ms.

Mammond was saying, like with the school, they have the one counselor, and I I request like my kids can see someone there, um, and they do their best and everything, but again, it's only one person.

So even now I take my kids to Castigran, like I found something closer, so we've been going to Cast Grand for um behavior health and mental health services there.

But if there was something closer, I know a lot of people could benefit for it, and in the area that they wanted, I think it's a high need there too, and it'll give something for that building that's been empty for a while.

And um, like I have family lives down the street from there across the street.

Um, my mom is down the street from there, so we know the area well, and I think it'll be really beneficial for especially that side of town.

But yeah, thank you.

Okay, thank you for your heartfelt comments, so appreciate the input.

Anyone else?

Is that a call for a call?

Just want to make sure.

Okay, um, then I would like to close the public hearing.

And I'm looking for a motion uh to move this alone as a consent agenda item.

I'll make a motion.

Uh one thing that was noted was that the uh agenda says the uh the properties at South East Street.

Our uh it is actually at the and the applicants literature, all our documents all said North East Street, and actually it is at least the street science says on Northeast Street.

So I'm gonna make a motion to approve the consent agenda with the correction of the address on the applications to be 99 North East Street Okay, thank you.

Can we motion and then a second?

And no call, please.

Commissioner Lopez.

Yay.

Commissioner Whitman.

Yes, yes.

Commissioner Narlen Beagle.

Yes.

Commissioner Facetto.

Yes.

Commissioner Crawford.

Vice Chair Tolson.

Yes.

And Chairman Paulson.

Okay, the motion carried unanimously.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your input.

Okay.

The next item is an executive session.

Okay.

Okay, so when you have any uh uh an executive session, I'd like to uh turn the uh floor over to our illustrious uh city attorney, Mr.

Stephen Cooper.

Mr.

Chairman, thank you.

I when you said illustrious, I started looking over my shoulder and I good evening.

Um our agenda tonight we referenced an executive session.

Uh under Arizona law on the public notice, we're required to state basically what section of the law we are using to call an executive session.

We did not list that tonight.

It had we had we had had we listed it would have been for legal advice on this issue.

I don't believe that we're going to need an executive session, and I have some concern about having one because we don't have it properly posted.

And as you recall, not too long ago, Mr.

Simer had you do a public a open open meeting law training and everything.

And I wouldn't want you so fresh off that to have to go back to one if there was something if somehow the attorney general's office or someone thought that there was something irregular with what we're doing tonight.

Um basically had we had an executive session.

Basically, the issue would have been we would have basically discussed basically the fact that this presentation that because of the additional acreage that's there, that you would have after the discussion, you would have several options available to you.

One was to approve, one would be to disapprove, but we wanted to make sure that um you had proper notice about what the potential motions needed to include so that this matter could be properly advanced to the city council, depending on what your recommendation is either way.

When we get to that point, I think I can give you some guidance on that and give you some samples of what potential motions are there.

But I want to make it very clear tonight.

You are a public body, you are the body that decides this matter.

It's not what staff, it's not what the attorneys tell you to do, it's your decision to make, but I'm gonna give you potential motions that you could use to either modify or do as you see fit when the time comes.

And after you've had the opportunity when you're ready to discuss what what the next steps are with a motion, if you would come back to me, I can present you with some possible language to consider.

Okay, thank you very much for that clarification.

I certainly don't want to sit through another session about the Arizona Open Meetings Act.

Thank you.

I appreciate your forbearance.

Okay, let me go on to that item.

Hold on.

Okay, item number eight.

New business possible discussion and our action on the following.

A conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation of E.S.

City Council in case number CP 2025-006.

Pablono Expansion Solar Project.

A request by Pablo Summer RLC, Long Road Energy, K of Alyssa Manzel as the applicant for a conditional use permit to allow a solar utility scale generation and value energy storage system facilities use on approximately 80 acres of land located on the south side of West Mulgan Road, approximately 800 feet south of the southwest corner of West Mulligan Road and South Toltec Road.

Is there a presentation?

Um Paulson Dan Simon is here in the case cases for a recommendation from the planning commission to the city council.

The applicant is here for their presentation, and I'll be handing it off to them now.

Okay, thank you very much.

Um good evening, Chairman Paulson, commissioners, staff.

Uh, my name is Andrew Yancey.

I'm an attorney at Bergen Frank Smolly and Oberholzer.

For the record, we're at 4343 East Camelback Road in Phoenix.

I'm here tonight representing Long Road Energy, who is requesting a conditional use permit for an 80-acre expansion to the Poblano Solar Project that was approved earlier this year.

Um before I begin, I do want to make sure to thank uh Mr.

Simer and staff for all their their work on this application and the last one we had.

We really appreciate everything that they put into this and in coming through with uh you know a clear report.

So this is a unique request.

The the property at issue is only 80 acres.

You can see it outlined in yellow on this map here with some hatching on it.

Um it's about three or four miles from the city's water and sewer hookups.

So it's pretty far out.

It really has limited development potential in terms of more traditional development.

What these 80 acres would do under our proposal is they would connect some out parcels in an existing approved solar project to the main body of it.

Now that approved project footprint is shown here in the light blue outline.

I'd like to direct your attention briefly to sort of the western corner where you see an enhanced separation area that's sort of hatched out.

Um what happened there is and some of you may recall from our rezoning hearings uh about a year ago, is that when we were coming with our rezoning application, there was some concern about the proximity of the project to Arizona City.

So we took a continuous, we negotiated, worked with some members of City Council, and what we did is we set aside this 53-acre area to be a separation.

It's going to maintain native vegetation, it's going to create a buffer between the project and the Arizona City area.

Um in many ways, this 80-acre expansion CUP is a very straightforward case.

It's a standard solar project.

Um but as uh council referred to, there is this issue of the citywide acreage cap for solar in the code.

When we made our application for the CUP in July, that cap had not been reached.

After that time, there's another project that came through that put the city over its cumulative uh cap.

And so you know, we're here tonight uh still pursuing this because the code does allow for uh vote of city council to uh allow acreage to go over that.

So, what what we're asking from you as the commission tonight is to recommend approval of this 80-acre CUP if the council sees fit to approve that that acreage.

So that that's our request.

I know your um city attorney is gonna talk to you about the motions when he gets to that time.

That that's what we're asking tonight.

Um I'll just walk through this.

I want to make sure to introduce you to the uh applicant developer here.

It's uh Long Road Energy, their development manager Alyssa Manzel is here with us this evening.

Longroad is a developer owner and operator of renewable energy projects across the country.

They've got a lot in Arizona, have made significant investment here.

They're their operational projects in the state could power about half a million homes, and they've got three more large-scale projects under construction.

They also like to make sure that they're contributing to the community where they have projects.

So, you know, just one example of that is here in Eloy.

They've worked with the Toltec School District and they're making donations so that there can be playground improvements on both the Toltec Elementary School and the Arizona City elementary school.

So about the project overall, the the approved project and the 80-acre expansion we're asking for.

Um, together that'd be about a thousand acres.

It's all private land.

It would be developed as a solar photovoltaic uh project and would be about 200 megawatts of electricity produced.

There would also be a battery energy storage system for also 200 megawatts.

I do want to note this 80 acres we're talking about tonight, that would just be panels.

The battery is going to be on the other side of Milligan Road in the part of the project that was already approved earlier this year.

Uh the those panels, they're on a single-axis tracking racks.

What that does is it allows them to track the sun throughout the day.

Panels are relatively low profile, depending on on their position and position of the sun.

They're between eight and fourteen feet in height.

I think one important thing to note uh this project does not strain water or wastewater services or the transportation network.

Uh, solar projects really don't pull um that those type of infrastructure needs.

I also want to note because of the location of this property and Eloy's overall growth pattern, there really isn't traditional development potential in the foreseeable future for these 80 acres.

But developing it for solar does provide some local benefits.

The overall project would uh result in about 300 construction jobs, about five full-time jobs during operation.

Also at full build out, the anticipated uh tax revenue generation is about 20 million dollars in uh local property taxes over the 30 year life of the project.

And those go to a various entities.

It goes to Penal County, City of Eloy, the Eloy Fire District, uh, Toltec School District, Arizona Water Conservation District, and a few others get a little bit of that as well.

This map, I just want to show you a little bit more context.

Um, again, you can see how far south of I-10 and away from the city's development this property is.

Uh, there's in addition to the approved Pabono project, the purple outline here shows you the recently approved Sawtooth project.

Uh that's outlined in purple.

So this 80 acre expansion we're talking about is really surrounded on all sides by approved solar projects already.

There's also existing power lines that run down Milligan, that of course makes it more attractive for energy development.

Uh here, just zooming in a little closer, you know, you can see that this land really is vacant.

There's no agriculture or anything going on on it.

And then you get in real close to see our expansion area.

This just really points out how there are approved solar projects really on all sides of this 80 acre expansion.

So I did put together a timeline that we've gone through in uh the zoning entitlements for this project.

We can come back to the actual timeline if you want later.

Uh but just to kind of walk through it.

September of last year is when we submitted our initial rezoning application.

That's for 938 acres.

That's what you see outlined here in blue.

What I'd like to point out are the two out parcels to the south.

You can see those are not connected to the rest of the project.

This project area was really based on ownership.

It was coming from one common owner, and that's what tied it together.

They were also part of the same uh PADs, so they fit in the same zoning cases.

So that's the proposal that we initially brought forward with the application.

Like all zoning cases, we held a neighborhood meeting last fall.

As part of that outreach, we were actually approached by several surrounding landowners who wanted to sell their property to add on to the project.

Um, at that time, those properties weren't within the same PAD.

It's really hard to add new owners after you've already gone through the public notice.

So we elected to go forward with the project we had, which is what you see here.

When we went through hearings, um, as I mentioned earlier, uh, we ended up taking a continuance at City Council.

We worked out the enhanced separation area on the west uh to create that buffer from Arizona City.

That's that's 53 acres.

So that was 53 acres that had been anticipated to be in the project that were then carved out for this buffer.

That was approved in March by a 5-2 vote at City Council.

And then at that time, Long Road started talking with some of those surrounding property owners who come in and said they wanted to add on to the project.

Uh you know, frankly, they were looking to make up some of those 53 acres that had been lost as part of this buffer.

They said no to several of those property owners.

Several of those properties, they were either too close to Arizona City or they were too close to the north to the city's development footprint.

And so Long Road said no to those.

But these 80 acres here, they thought made a lot of sense because it connects those two out parcels, because it's already surrounded by solar projects.

They said, yes, let's let's go forward with this conditional use permit.

So that's that's what we have here.

That's why we're here before you today.

Also just want to note this property here, it's not under the same ownership as the initial project, it's not in the same PAD as the initial project.

This is RU43 zoning.

So that's why we're coming for a conditional use permit to permit it as solar and add it on to the project.

But it's still part of the same project.

And I do just want to walk through, you know, Eloy has its own solar ordinance.

This this proposal does comply with that in terms of location, in terms of contiguity, in terms of the various performance standards that are part of that ordinance.

Uh the only question that we have is this acreage threshold.

And so again, at the time we applied in July, the city had not exceeded the cap of 11,744 acres.

Another application from another developer was approved in the meantime.

That put the city over its acreage, and they had an overage that was approved.

The code does build in this process where as the applicant, we can request that city council allows the overage and increases the acreage to allow this project.

So we're not asking for something that's outside the code.

The code builds in this possibility.

It foresaw that maybe somebody would need to go over by a little bit.

So we did uh submit a letter to city council as part of our application asking for that overage.

We certainly understand that Eloy wants to you know honor the the uh threshold that it's set here.

I do think that our project is unique and really warrants a narrow exception.

It's it's not a new project.

We're not bringing a new project to you.

We're we're just looking to expand when it already does.

It is not like a big expansion out.

It is taking 80 acres and connecting pieces of the project that are currently disconnected.

And that approved project, of course, already set this 53-acre buffer aside where there are residences on the site, so we wanted to make sure to protect them.

This 80 acres is really far from those residences, is far from the the rest of the city's development footprint.

It's surrounded by solar, and this 80 acres really does improve the design and efficiency by connecting those out parcels to the rest of the project.

So finally, my my last graphic here is the um city's overall solar map.

Just wanted to show you how our proposal fits into that.

The yellow is is generally the approved solar projects in Eloy.

You can see we call out that that small area uh between H and E.

That's our proposed 80 acres.

It is 0.7% of the city's overall acreage, and it is already surrounded by solar and other sites.

So I'd submit to you that approving this doesn't noticeably change Eloy's solar footprint.

It just fits this little piece within it.

So that concludes my presentation.

Um, you know, we respectfully request your recommendation of approval, and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Okay, thank you very much.

Appreciate that.

Do we have any questions?

Um when I was reviewing this at home, and we didn't get a full packet to look at here on the up here.

But as I recall, there was something in there about uh also that you want as part of this approval.

You wanted to have, I think, five years to actually implement it.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure I remember that right.

Uh yes, uh, Vice Chair Tolson, that is correct.

We're asking for for five years.

Um, as I noted, this is a C UP, whereas the rest of the project is approved by a PAD.

The PAD does not have a time limit.

So it's it's uh putting this you know acreage in with a larger project that doesn't have a time limit.

The solar projects really do take a while to come to fruition for things that are outside of the city's control and outside of the developer's control.

They've got to go through a fairly intense interconnection study process with the utilities that can sometimes take in the range of years, then they have to bid into competitive RFPs with the utilities in order to get selected to actually build.

So you know, it's something we can foresee at this time that it would take a few years to get this off the ground.

So we wanted to ask for it at the outset, and also because it is connecting to this 938 acres that has no time limit.

You know, we thought it made sense to ask for more.

Okay, do we have any other questions?

I am curious if there's is in a maximum that is proposed if this was approved as far as what's allowed of solar fields in the city.

Chair members of the commissioner, I think you're asking staff if there's a maximum.

Yeah.

The the maximum is 11,744 acres.

The that amount has been exceeded with the previous application.

Um this one here is also asking for that cap to be exceeded the and that number changes every time we annex into the city and more areas.

It's maximum 16% of the city.

So recently it did change.

It went up by about five acres.

I'm sorry, let me think here.

It went up about 2.5 acres until we annexed in about 23 acres uh back in July.

So it went up to about that much.

So any other questions regarding the two disconnected parcels.

Regarding the two disconnected bar cells, does this change the way in which they are used, or does it have any bearing on that rule already now does have any bearing on how that parcels are used at all?

Uh yes, thank you, Commissioner uh Nathan Gaul.

Um so the the two disconnected parcels, part of the original um stipulations for the zoning approval were that we would have to provide you know access to those.

So there's going to be some sort of access across these 80-acre parcels already.

Um those two out parcels can be used as part of the project.

They they can be connected.

However, the more disconnected they are, the more difficult it is to make the layout work.

So this is in a way squaring off around corner in and making the layout more efficient.

And I'll just go back right here.

You can see before they go in, it's these are two 40-acre squares.

And so when they come to corners, you know, we got to meet our setbacks and all those sort of things.

When we add these 80 acres in, that can be developed more more fully as a contiguous area, so it helps get more panels on there.

And frankly, the way some of the utility processes work for selecting um who who they're going to get power from, the more megawatts you can provide, the more likely you are to get picked because utilities would rather deal with a few larger projects than a whole lot of little projects.

Um it it frankly it will help the project get picked through that selection process and generate more electricity.

Thank you.

Yes, okay.

Any other questions at this time?

Okay, thank you very much.

Appreciate your input.

Thank you.

Okay, do I have any other um individual who would like to participate in the public hearing?

Does it look like okay?

So we close the public hearing.

Thank you very much.

Okay, so pardon me.

So now we're looking for a motion to deal with this uh request.

There's some staff discussion or I mean uh board discussion before we go to the motion.

Yeah, and then if I may interrupt, Chair, before we go to a motion, I believe the city attorney wants to address the possible motions that he's that I handed out.

So can I do a little discussion?

Is it all appropriate to for the board discussion?

Okay.

All right, so uh yeah, I I see what the applicant, the the point they're making, however, I get the feeling that we're just creeping along and adding more and more acreage.

We had a 16% limit that we set, and I remember I was involved in that process a few years ago.

And uh and recently I think we added something like 30 acres on.

So every time I think that we make an exception, we just kind of weaken our stand as to what are we really going to stand with the 16 percent or not?

Furthermore, we haven't really I don't think there's any panels up anywhere along in there yet.

I haven't seen any.

And um so I I guess unless maybe the applicant would want to offset the 80 acres here with taking 80 acres out of uh solar elsewhere on the project.

But I'm kind of I my feeling is we're we're exceeding, we're just creeping along here exceeding our rules, and I just don't think that's a good idea.

And uh so I'm probably going to vote to deny it, but that's where I am right now.

Thank you.

Okay, counselor Cooper, would you like to uh address the commission?

Mr.

Chairman, thank you.

Um, as to the uh issue of the if I might just be off talk topic just real quickly.

Um when we've looked at the executive session and the agenda, we've also looked in the computer where we have it where we basically have it there, and there's some software error that it didn't get out there tonight.

So it appears we may have actually properly noticed it, but uh it didn't get out here in paper.

But in the I would still say to error the side of caution that we not have an executive session, we are certainly gonna try to investigate what happened from a technological standpoint and try to make sure that something like this doesn't occur again.

And again, um I had provided with you potential motions for you to consider tonight.

Um, and as I said before, my opening comments to you, you are the decision maker, it's not the staff makes a recommendation.

I do not make any recommendations to you or tell you what to do.

That's your job as a commissioner to determine what is the best policy.

I also provided a copy of the sample motions to council for the applicant so that they knew basically what you were seeing, and that they had basically a fair opportunity to look at the contents on that.

And the issue that we really wanted to address with you tonight is because of the ceiling that we have is not the amount of acreage.

There is a process that would have to go forward, such as the recommendation to exceed it, which would be decided by the council.

Okay, thank you very much.

It makes total sense.

Okay, fellow commissioners.

I'd like a motion.

I'll make a motion.

So I make a motion to deny case number CUP 2025-006, Bobano Expansion Solar Project, finding that the conditional use permit criteria have not been met because the condition requirements and standards of the Eloy zoning ordinance have not been met since the application area exceeded the cumulative acreage maximum allowed for area of the solar utility scale generation and battery energy storage system facilities and recommend that the city council not approve the application.

Okay, do we have a second to that motion?

A second motion and we have a second.

Commissioner Whitman.

Clarification.

The motion is to deny.

Okay.

So you'd say yes would be to deny.

That clarification.

Okay.

Commissioner Lopez.

I move the motion to approve case number.

Hold on a second.

There's been a motion.

No.

We've had a motion and we've had a second.

So we're voting on the motion to deny from Mr.

Tolson.

Yes.

Commissioner Whitman.

Commissioner Nolan Deagle.

Commissioner Fresetto.

Commissioner Crawford.

Vice Chair Tolson?

Yes.

Chairman Paulson.

No.

No.

Okay.

The motion falls.

Do we have an alternative motion?

I will make a motion to approve.

You want me to read the whole thing?

Yes.

I'll make a motion to approve case number CUP 2025 006 for Blindow Expansion Solar Project.

With the finding the conditional use permit criteria will be met only upon the city council separately approving the applicant separate request to exceed the cumulative acreage maximum allowed for area of the for the solar utility scale generation and battery energy storage system facilities.

And if the city council does not approve the request to exceed the cumulative acreage maximum allowed for area of area for the solar utility scale generation and battery energy storage system facilities, the city council denied the application because the criteria conditions requirements and standards of the Eloy Zoning ordinance will not have been met.

Okay, thank you.

I will say again with a motion or the second roll call, please.

Commissioner Lopez.

Commissioner Whitman.

Yes.

Commissioner Nolan Deagle.

Yes.

Commissioner Fosetal.

Yes.

Commissioner Crawford.

Yes.

Vice Chair Tolson.

No.

Chairman Paulson.

Aye.

Motion James.

Thank you very much.

Okay, let's take a look at what's I've got lots of papers here.

Okay.

Thank you, everyone.

Okay, moving on to item nine.

Informational item.

Planning and zoning commission members and staff will update the public on relevant events and activities they've attended since the last meeting in any future events, activities, and potential agenda items.

These items are for information only, and no action will be taken.

Just wanted to uh say thank you to your commissioners here for your time.

Um lot of decisions that need to be made, and uh appreciate it and uh um once again uh thank you for the audience and the public being here.

Um can everyone have a good evening.

Okay, thank you.

It's always good to see me as a public here.

I mean believe it or not, we like this because it means people are interested and wanting to come out in the evening and see what's going on with our city.

Okay, Mr.

Summer.

Thank you, Chair.

So we do have a couple events coming up that you're all invited to attend.

Please let me know if you're gonna be there ahead of time so as I have to post for a potential public qualm.

Um on this for Saturday, we are having the open house for the general plan at Roberson Ranch in the bottom.

That is our next uh planning exercise as it relates to the general plan.

It is talking about mapping the future.

So we're looking at the land use map and how we're going to potentially make modifications to that.

I can tell you we're looking at simplifying the map, kind of reducing a lot of the zones or not zones, but the land use categories.

We're gonna go to three residential land use categories and set up the current seven.

And those master plan communities, such as Roberson Ranch, which currently has like five or six different land use categories, will we go to one?

Uh it'll be called plan community area.

So the zoning itself would dictate how the property is used instead of the land use category, and if there's any modifications, they just go through a zoning process.

So that's the big changes again.

Uh I encourage you all to come out.

We have a second meeting on the general plan open house, and that is next Wednesday, and that will be at five to seven.

We will be open all day though for City Hall to people the public to come, but more is for staff.

But if you feel like traveling in early, feel free to come in and because we'll be here during that and getting the public to participate.

I do want to thank you all for coming in early today to do the air park plan.

That was a big uh effort, and I really appreciate the comments that we got on that.

I think we're all getting a handle handle on our little mentee exercise, got some great comments, and I look forward to that plan over the next week or so.

We'll be uh opening up the public information on that and the first set of questions, just like the general plan, it's run very similarly, so you'll be having those opportunities to provide comments and looking forward to that.

And again, thank you all for participating, and I really do appreciate it.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Okay, thank you.

Anyone else have anything you'd like to share?

Oh, I will be at the session on Saturday.

I have uh provided made that information available to all the rest of the residents of Ropes and Ranch, and so we're hoping for a big turnout on Saturday.

What time will that event be starting?

That's a great question.

Robleson Ranch at the ballroom at 10 a.m.

I will be there at 8 30.

So but please I won't have my coffee yet because we're also doing the about the street cleanup that morning, so I'll actually be out here at six.

So uh look so I'm looking forward to it.

I'm glad to hear that you're having it in the morning because having events in the mid afternoon or evening in Roberson is probably a little bit idea.

Now I think our other uh chairman from Roberson Ranch is drinking his coffee martini right now.

Okay, thank you very much.

Yeah, the the uh bird dinner at Robeson Ranch is always a big big deal.

Starts at 3 30 in the afternoon.

Okay, thank you very much.

Any anyone else?

Okay, item ten, communications.

I think we just took care of that.

Yes?

Okay, great.

So we'll move on to item eleven, motion to adjourn.

Do I have a motion to adjourn?

I'll make a motion.

I sir.

Okay, all in favor, aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

All opposed?

You get to stay here.

Okay.

Meeting adjourned.

Thank you very much.
