Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and fellow commissioners and staff.

Commissioner Jones. Present. Commissioner Mellet. Present. Commissioner Mountain is absent. Commissioner Rizby. Present. Commissioner Bilaputa. Present. Commissioner Aba. Present. Chair Sanguinetti. Here. We have a quorum. Thank you. Um first order of business. I want to welcome a new commissioner, and that's Felix Aba here. And that he's uh taking over for our filling in for our former Commissioner Garcia, who's no longer on our commission in that. So welcome, and we look forward to having some help. Thank you. I'm glad to be here. And that next order of business is we'll uh pledge allegiance to our flag. And we'll have Commissioner RISV perform the pledge of allegiance. Thank you, Chair. If you can all join me, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic for the stands. One nation under God. Thank you. Um, next order of business will be our consent calendar, which is um item 3.1. However, I do want to make a statement around the bench here. There's a a little uh resolution update that was passed around in that um with some slight modifications to what was in the package and that it was just some clarifications based upon our meeting that um staff and I talked about in our Tuesday pre-commission meeting to just clarify it and make it more simpler in line with um what was discussed at our July 14th meeting. So if unless a commissioner has any comments, um you know I'm up to or if there's any comments in the audience in that, I'm up to listening in that. If not, I'm up to uh a motion. Oh second it. And who was the first motion? Oh, I thought you motioned. Sorry. No, I'm uh I was up to a motion. I'll make a motion to approve the consent calendar. I'll second it. Which with the revised with the revised resolution just came um the bench the bench update. Yes. Okay, all right. So we have a motion on the floor from Commissioner Mallet and a second by Commissioner Velavoda. Um I don't believe uh Commissioner that you feel that you can actually vote because you weren't maybe maybe the attorney can he actually vote on it. So our lean our council policy manual says that um if you weren't present or you were absent from any part of the land use hearing that you can revote on the item if you reviewed all of the materials presented and the video um that occurred, and you make a statement affirming such on the record. So if either of the absent commissioners did that, they can vote.
