As is noted on our agenda, City Council is prohibited by state law from discussing or taking any action and items that are brought up under item one for public comment, but it provides an opportunity, an important opportunity for a public forum. The public is given an opportunity at this time to address city council and issues not listed on the agenda. We do ask that anyone wishing to address the council on this or any other item this evening to please fill out a request to speak card and turn it in to the clerk. We accept the request to speak cards up to the conclusion of the reading of the staff report on any particular agenda item. And once the staff report has been read and we open up the item for public comment, the clerk will announce your name for you to walk to the podium to speak. Now in front of the clerk, there is a timer to ensure that everyone has a chance to be heard, and we ask that all comments be limited to the specified number of minutes. Also in front of the clerk is an analog flip chart, which indicates which agenda item the council is currently considering. So we request that there be no applause or booze, cat calls or other demonstrations. Furthermore, so that we may maintain a civil discourse here in the chamber. We ask that those in attendance and those who address the city council abide by the code of conduct, post it and not speak in loud threatening offensive, abusive, or other disrespectful language that disrupts disturbs or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of the meeting. Now this brings us to item one presentations by the public on matters not on the agenda within the jurisdiction of the council, and each person has three minutes to speak. Madam Clerk, are there any requests to speak under public comments? Yes, ma'am. Ron Anderson. Mr. Anderson, nice to see you.
