Thursday, October 1st is a virtual option that's going to be at noon, lunch and learn. Wednesday, October 21st at the Historic Fort Worth Inc. Cantee Lecture. And that's also going to be in the evening. We'll post all this on the website. But if you are interested in receiving updates and an invite to any of these workshops, please email design review at Fort Worth Texas.gov. And also Historic Hanley is one of a handful, it might be like I can't remember exactly how many. I think that's all of my announcements. Alright, thank you. Um any announcements from Commissioners. All right. Seeing none, we'll move on to the approval of the June 8th meeting minutes. If you've had a chance to look at those, we're open for a motion and a second. I make a motion to approve. Second. Alright, we have a motion to approve from Commissioner Brisendine and a second from Commissioner Ketchum. Well then right, that's fine. I'll probably also second.
