On items number six and seven, we just received an email from the applicant regarding um his proposed amendments, which would require us to re-refer.

1:26

I don't know if you want to take those items up today, but if you do, it would be an amend and re-refer.

It'd go to council so that way it could be re-referred back to the committee, but it'll have to go back to planning commission because of the changes that he's doing.

So what do you so?

2:02

What was his request?

2:04

Re-refer?

Speaker 2

2:05

Correct.

2:05

We would have to um amend the bill uh with these changes and then re-refer.

2:11

I will leave committee, go to the full council, and then be re-referred.

Speaker 1

2:16

So what would the motion be?

2:18

Amended re-refer.

2:20

If it's marked as defer on here, do we have to get a can I just undefer them?
