[0:08] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** calling this evening's meeting to order and our first order is approval of the—our second is approval of the minutes. I have...
[0:34] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** a second? As a second, all in favor say "I," all oppose say "no." Motion passes. All right, order number three: public hearing. Oh yes, sorry, thank you. It's been a while since I've... second approval of the minutes.
[1:25] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Go ahead, other corrections?
[1:34] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Do I have a second? [Seconded]. All in favor say "I," oppose same sign. Right, item three: public hearing resolution through the CUP for a child care facility within the Shoreland Overlay District. So, just to give everybody in the audience a little information: we're an advisory board for the City Council, so we don't make any decisions. As an advisory board, we'll hear from Leslie as she presents information to us, then...
[2:20] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** we'll also hear from the applicant themselves. After the public hearing is closed, we'll come back here.
[2:42] **Leslie (Staff):** Lety, um, so as to property...
[3:10] **Leslie (Staff):** Leslie... oh, there okay, now it's up.
[3:28] **Leslie (Staff):** Highway...
[4:40] **Leslie (Staff):** [Technical/Detailed description of plan]
[5:16] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** I ask you, do you know what the hours of operation would be?
[5:35] **Applicant:** 6:00 to 6:00 roughly, Monday through Friday, correct.
[5:46] **Leslie (Staff):** No, they were very kind enough with the idea existing... introduced this to you.
[6:12] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Questions? So I'm about to open up the public portion, but first, before we have the public speak, we also have the applicant here. So I'll ask the applicant to please come forward, state name and your address, and...
[6:44] **Applicant:** [Applicant Name], thank you.
[6:51] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Could you please spell your last name?
[7:12] **Applicant:** [Spelling name]... um, so I...
[7:53] **Applicant:** [Providing project details] with that.
[8:14] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** And anybody from the public is welcome; can come up.
[8:22] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** And, oh, I am now opening the [hearing], so anybody from the public, state your name coming forward.
[8:37] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** [No public comment]. I'm now going to close the public hearing and bring it back to us.
[9:19] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Any questions?
[9:28] **Board Member:** First... [Inaudible discussion of findings].
[10:09] **Board Member:** I also want to jump in here. I'm very pleased that you're willing to take this risk on, and I think all the letters that came in were wonderful letters, very supportive of what your business is. I live right—not too far from there—and do some shopping in some of those offices that are there, those buildings. The only question I have, and this is just a safety concern, is a drop-off area where the kids can be dropped off, focused or just directed to a specific door, just because it's general. Just a thought. All right, we have a motion, do we have a second? [Seconded]. Just for my thoughts, I'd already talked to Harry earlier...
[10:55] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** today about the parking. I feel that it is going to be efficient, but there might be—it will have to be...
[11:08] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** All those in favor say "I." [Board says "I"]. All those opposed, same sign. And when will this come in front of City Council? [Staff replies: "Next week"].
[11:34] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** I have a migraine, I'm a little off. All right. Requests to be heard—there are none. Item five: items for discussion, proposed bylaw amendment.
[12:14] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Delay from the discussion...
[12:58] **Leslie (Staff):** Administrating... [Explanation of administrative changes].
[13:36] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Action item might be...
[13:55] **Board Member:** Struggling... [Inaudible].
[14:17] **Board Member:** I think it was well written.
[14:52] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Thank you very much. Do we have a motion?
[15:04] **Board Member:** Oh, yeah. [Motion made].
[15:15] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Sorry. All in favor? [Board: "I"]. All opposed? [Silence].
[15:32] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** All right, item six: routine business. There, we don't have anything. Item seven: board and commission updates.
[15:49] **Board Member:** We talked about it, but then it was like one of the things that we...
[16:09] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** It happened, yes. In terms of the last Council meeting, we didn't have any, but I do feel like we should keep this; you have projects that do go to Council, and it's good to hear things about them.
[16:39] **Board Member:** Or so for the next, just for...
[16:49] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** Change, and on to our last item, adjournment.
[17:05] **Colton Hogan (Chair):** And who would like to make the [motion]? [Seconded]. All those in favor say "I." All those opposed? Right, we are adjourned.
