Hearing none, all those in favor. Aye. Any opposed? Alright. Motion passes or carries. Moving on to item four, library services staff report and announcements. At this bill. Jumping, jumping ahead. I'm like more red text. Thank you, Chair Miller. Yes, I have uh one item that I'd like to update the commission on, which is the discussion that we've had around 1% for art, that proposal. The uh library director and I had a meeting with members of the community development staff, and the reason that we had that meeting was that you may recall that first of all, the arts master plan included a recommendation for a 1% fee on private development. And uh the community development department had an impact fee discussion before the council a few months back, and during that discussion, they discussed this potential for a 1% fee uh for art, and the council had provided guidance that they should come back with uh a proposal on that um that type of fee. So our meeting with the community development department was to uh determine the status of that proposal. Uh they're currently working on it, and they're doing the background on what other cities have this kind of impact fee, excuse me, have this kind of um fee. Uh what are the parameters of that fee? Does it have to be one percent? Could it be another uh you know uh per set percentage and how is it being applied? So they are developing that proposal and are planning to come to this body uh later this uh year, probably at the October or November meeting to present to the commission the results of their work and get any feedback that would be uh offered by the committee by the commission before taking it to the council for a presentation at City Council. Uh so that's that's where it stands. Um and like I said, I just wanted to update the commission on that particular item, and that concludes my uh staff report. All right, and at this time, do any members of the public wish to comment on agenda item four? Uh where what banks can we rob to get you guys funded better? Unfortunately, it's public comment, so we can't answer questions, but yeah. Um and do commissioners have any questions,
