Well good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to welcome you to this evening's meeting. This is not a legal item of the Woodstock City Council. A few brief announcements before we get started. First is that the um agenda for the meeting will be shown on the screens in the room. City of Woodstock operates under what's called a consent format. Consent format means that all items for the action this evening will be considered under a single motion and a single vote. If a council member wishes to have an item separately removed and considered and separately considered and voted upon, they may make that request and that item will be removed for separate consideration voting. If a member of the public wishes to have an item removed separately removed for consideration voting, uh member of public may make that request, and if agreed to by a member of the Woodstock City Council, that item two will be removed from the consent calendar and considered separately with a separate vote. There are two opportunities this evening for public comment. The first being at the start of the meeting, under floor discussion, members of the public may come to the podium in the middle of the room. If they're willing to do so, state their name and address for purpose of the record. Feel free to make comments to the Woodstock City Council on any items not on this evening's agenda. Second opportunity is that when we have items for action, members of the public will have an opportunity to provide comment on those items prior to any vote. Any questions on those announcements before we get started? All right. Hearing none, I'll go ahead and call this April 15th, 2025 meeting of the Woodstock City Council to order and ask the clerk to please call the roll. Councilman Flynn. Here. Councilwoman McMahon. Here. Councilman Nearman? Here. Councilman Seegers. Here. Councilman Tebow? Here. Councilwoman Ziemba. Here. Mayor Turner. Here. The record reflect that all seven members of the Woodstock City Council are present this evening. Jane, would you please confirm that the agenda this evening is the same as the true and published agenda? Yes, it is. Thank you, Jane. That lady uh that being the case, ladies and gentlemen of the council, the people's business is duly inappropriately before us. First item this evening under floor discussion is public comment. At this time I invite members of the public to come forward to the podium in the middle of the room. If they're willing to do so, state their name and address for purpose of the record. Feel free to make public comments to the Woodstock City Council on any items not on this evening's agenda. Second opportunity, members of the public under floor discussion, public comment to come forward to make comments to the Woodstock City Council. Final opportunity, members of the public, to come forward under floor discussion. Hearing no requests from public for comments, I will turn to members of council. Ask if there's any comments that council wishes to make under floor discussion this evening. No. No. All right. Hearing nothing from members of council, that takes us to the next item on this evening's agenda, which is the consent calendar. Consent calendar consists of all items A through D13. A motion for concurrence would be in order.
