Commissioner Buckley. Commissioner Caden. Commissioner Hernandez. Commissioner Maseus Reid. Vice Chair Young. Commissioner Blond. Commissioner Risky. Commissioner Thompson. Chair Wallace. Chair, thank you. We have a quorum. All right. I would like to remind members of the public and chambers if you would like to speak on an agenda item, please turn to speakers slip when item begins. You'll have three minutes to speak once you're called on after the first speaker will no longer accept speaker slips. We'll now proceed with today's agenda. Please arise for the opening, knowledgements and honor of Sacramento's Indigenous people and tribal lands. For the original people of this land, the Nisanan people, the southern Maidu Valley, and Plains Mewok, Potwin Wintun peoples, and the people of the Wilton Rancheria, Sacramento's only federally recognized tribe. May we acknowledge and honor the Native people who came before us and still walk beside us today on these ancestral lands, by choosing to gather together today in the active practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's Indigenous peoples, history, contributions and lives. Thank you. Please remain standing for the pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the public, to the religious fans, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. Let's see. Next we have the Director's Report, Disha. Thank you, Chair. One item for the Director's Report this evening at the Commission's next meeting on September 26th. Staff will bring forward two items for review and comment. First, the 2025 Planning and Zoning Work Program, which constitutes the Commission's anticipated work program for the next year. And the draft 2024 Commission annual report. So we'll walk through the last year's priorities, what's been accomplished, what we anticipate to be working on this next year. So we'd like you to begin thinking about what your policy priorities are, things you'd like to discuss. And so we'll look forward to a good discussion on that on September 26th. And again, both of those will be for review and comment with the final versions coming back to you in November. That's it for me, Chair. Thank you. So, Disha, a couple of announcements.
