I'd like to call order this meeting to order for Ag and Rural Affairs Committee meeting, April 19th, 2026. We'd like to start out with approval of the minutes of the April 21, 2026. Do I hear an approval? I'll make a motion to approve the minutes. So moved. Motion's been made and seconded. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed. Okay. Public appearances for non-agenda items. I don't see anybody here, so we'll proceed. We will now go to a agenda review. And I'd ask Deanna to uh break in. Good evening, everyone. My name is Deanna Schmidt. I am the city planner. Uh with me this evening is Brad Sippel from the planning department. Also, we're gonna be kind of tag teaming this meeting. You might notice that uh we there's a uh in our email um on from Friday. There's some special um timing for this evening. So uh this this room is scheduled for plan commission at 5 p.m. this evening with there's some special timing going on um in order to manage uh some special meetings with plan commission and council. So what that means is uh I first of all encourage everyone to be very careful and deliberate in our discussions and there's no need to rush rush through. Um we do have a long agenda item, long agenda for us this evening. But I do want to just bring out that five o'clock, uh that 5 p.m. timeline. Our wonderful Fact TV team has uh suggested that if we need to go over that timeline, um if we need to go past 5 p.m. What we could do is recess for five minutes and then regroup in the genie ceiling room, but we'll just kind of play it by ear. Another option if we just don't get quite through all of the agenda items on our list. We can always do um we can always do a postponement and a delay to the next month, also.
