Good evening, everyone.

And thank you for joining our August fifteenth.

As a reminder, items will be taken up in the order in which they are listed on the agenda.

Before we get started, I wanted to briefly go over the public comment procedures for the meeting for those who may be joining us for the first time.

Public comments on the approval of minutes, consent items, matters of commission interest, and items not on the agenda will be taking taken during item number three on this evening's agenda.

Comments on other agenda items will be taken only when that item is called.

In-person speakers will be called first, followed by virtual attendees.

And for in-person speakers, please fill out a speaker's card at the front of the council chambers and bring them to staff Christina over there.

For those joining virtually, you may use the raise hand feature on Zoom to speak.

And if you're joining the teleconference by phone, you may raise your hand by dialing star nine and then star six to unmute when prompted.

Please only raise your hand at the time that the item on which you are speaking is called.

Each speaker is allotted three minutes.

And for in-person speakers, there will be a light on the podium to let you know how much time you have left and a buzzer when the time is up.

For virtual speakers, you will have a timer on the screen.

Lastly, we know that we each bring different perspectives to the discussion, and we want to make sure that everyone has a chance to be heard without interruption.

So thank you for your attention and consideration during this process.
