But um, for those of you who have not gotten out and voted yet, please do. Uh, an important part of our democracy. Thank you. Thank you. We offer two opportunities for general public comments. It's an opportunity to address the mayor and board about any item, whether it is on this evening's agenda or not. We ask speakers to give their name and a general address for the record, reminded that proceedings are being telecast and recorded. Comments are limited to five minutes per individual. You may also comment using the e-comment feature available on the city's website prior to the meeting. We don't have anyone who has signed up to make public comment, but that doesn't mean you are deprived of the opportunity. If you wish to come forward now, you may do so. Seeing none, we will move forward with our consent agenda. Items on the consent agenda are considered routine by the mayor and board. Approved in one motion without separate discussion of each item, unless any person present request that an item be removed from the consent agenda. An item that is removed will be considered separately at the end. If you would like to have an item below considered separately, please say so when I announce the category. Category A is grants move for approval second.
