All right. Welcome back, everybody. The City Member 11 Common Council meeting for May 26, 2026. It is well before we start the meeting. We have opportunity for presidents to address the common council and privilege of the floor. And I will read the rules for privilege of the floor. Speakers are limited to three minutes each. The total public comment period will not exceed 30 minutes or less extended and 15-minute increments by the mayor or the common council. Comments must relate to issues subject to common council action and pertain to city of the world. Comments are not limited to items on the current agenda. Personal attacks, inflammatory remarks, or disrespect towards council members, city staff, or others are not permitted. Once the uh when multiple individuals wish to speak, the mayor or common council may limit speakers to one opportunity per meeting to ensure broad participation. This is a public comment period, not a debate. Comments should not be used to provoke argument or engage in back and forth discussion. To foster a respectful and welcoming environment, attendees are kindly asked to observe quietly and refrain from audible reactions during public comment and council discussion. Applause, cheering, boeing, or other disruptions are not permitted. We want to ensure that everyone feels comfortable expressing their views in a respectful setting where all voices can be heard without interruption or intimidation. So your uh your cooperation is appreciated. So I will open up privilege of the floor, and if you wish to address the common council, please come up to the podium and give us your name and address for our records. Present. The meeting was properly noticed. Okay. We'll move on to 4A, which is approval of minutes from the May 12, 2026 Common Council meeting. I'll look for a motion. Motion to approve. Second. Discussion. City Clerk. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed say no. Motion approved unanimously. Yes, we have report. City Clark, I don't believe you have a remote. No right parentheses. Common council president is in here, and I have no report. So we'll move on to notifications, which we have nothing listed. So on next we have item 7, Board of Public Works. And I do believe all an RPC is. Yes. Okay. Item 05-267. Discussion of possible recommendation of the County Council to approve resolution 2026-07. Adopting Waukeshaw County Ordinance 10180-56.
