I now declare the Plano City Council is convened in open session that all council members are present. The council will now recess into executive session and Training Room A to hold a closed executive meeting pursuant to the provisions of Vernon's Texas Code Annotated Government Code, chapter 551, the Open Meetings Act in accordance with the authority contained in section five, 50, 171, to consult with the attorney to receive legal advice and discuss litigation. And section five, 5187 to discuss economic development matters. Thank you. I now declare that the Plano City Council preliminary open meeting is reconvened in open session, that all council members are present. Our first item on the preliminary agenda is consideration and action resulting from the executive session. Our next item is the Housing Tax Credit Resolution process update. Director of Neighborhood Service Curtis Howard. Good evening. Mayor council Curtis Howard, director of neighborhood services. And here to talk to you about the process of reinstituting our housing tax credit process that that we have. And it has been on hiatus for a little while. So just just a brief housing tax credit process is a federal program designed to fund to fund developers and financial institutions to try and promote affordable housing within, within various areas. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Housing and Community Affairs is the state agency that goes through the process and oversees that process here in Texas. So for cities, one of the things that we are is we're one step in this process for housing tax credits. And what will happen is, is the city will have a a program or a process in place, and developers will come in and provide their ideas on what's going on. And then it becomes a competitive process, and cities will have to make a determination of whether there is a resolution of support, a resolution of no objection or no resolution granted. And it's a competitive process. And so these points really make a difference in for these developers that are trying to get some of these tax credits. That can be very lucrative. And so it becomes very important on how we do that process. Just as part of history. One of the things that we have is we've got 12 apartment complexes here in, in, in the city of Plano. Most of them, I think eight of them are approximately they cater to to the elderly population. And then we've got four that cater to the general population. And they provide that to that affordability that we need desperately here in Plano. And so just kind of a little bit of history, this this process started in Plano back in 2014 and went on to about 2021. And what the process was is we had members of the City of Plano staff would evaluate applications and then go to council with the recommendations on what, what should be, what should be done. And 2021, based on council's advice, we changed that. And so we used our CRC, the Community Relations Commission, and they went through that process sort of like we do right now with the non-profits and that funding model that we already have in place. And that went on for two years, 2021, 2022. And then we decided to hire a consultant the city did to oversee and look at that process and see if we can make it better. So the consultant and at the same time, we'd hire a consultant to do our housing study. And so with those in place with the consultant's recommendations, which was that that this revert back to city employees to do this, to do this process and make recommendations to council in July. Let me go back in July. What we did is we took that to the CRC, and they recommended unanimously that we go back to the way we do things that we have basically a board of of city employees from various from various departments that will make that determination. And then that will be then then submitted to council for final determination. And so the two decisions that the CRC made is they had option one, which is the bolded option here, which is what they decide. And the second option was to basically bring it back to the CRC and have the CRC do it. Like I said, the the CRC said, hey, we want staff to to move forward with this process. And so and that will be the question that I ask for your guidance on today is what process do you want to put in place? We've got an application that we have that we've been editing that based upon the recommendations from the consultant back in 2023, and then what's going to happen is we're going to put that application on our website and make it available to developers at the end of November, that those applications will be due in January of 2026, and then they'll go through the process of being evaluated. If that's the guidance council gives us by the the Multi-departmental team, and then City Council will present those recommendations to City Council, and the developers will be able to present to you their ideas to along with that. And then just just for purposes of the rest of this process, and in February, the applications, I think it should be a 2026 right there. They should go to Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and then the rest of the process will continue on until TDC makes their final determination. So with that, at this time, I guess the only question I have is if I if you don't have any questions, I'm just looking for guidance on which option and answer any questions that you may have. All right Council, have any questions for Curtis? Councilmember Horne? Thank you, Curtis, for terrific presentation. Yes, sir. Just wanted to know we started off really when we had these evaluations. We used option one. Is that correct. And then we went over to the CRC reviews in the last couple of years to do that. Why did we make those changes from what we did originally to this now CRC review, do you recall why we made those changes? I wasn't part of that decision making. But but I know there was just just some issues with with the process that I think council was concerned with. And they thought maybe the CRC may be a better body to make that determination. And did the CRC improve the process? You know, if, if I understand and I've got Mr. Eden here to correct me if I'm wrong, I think the problem with the CRC is, you know, this there's a learning curve with this. And when you don't do a lot of them to get a body like the CRC to learn how to do it, and then to properly score them and make these determinations, I think is a difficult proposition. And I think that may be why the consultant made the determination to to bring that back and have staff do it. So going back to option one that would reduce the learning curve. Is that what you're saying? Correct? That's correct. And therefore make it easier to get the process through and bring recommendations before the council. Yes, sir. All right. Thank you. That's it, Deputy mayor. I want to make sure I understand the timeline so we would get the application to review, and then we would approve that process before it would be made available to applicants. Yes. So the council or the staff would make recommendations that would go to you. Then those would be presented to you for final determination. And then you you'd make the determination which one of these options. Which one of these options would be available. So resolution of support again. And each one of these has points that that are attached to it. And so because of the competitive nature of this it makes a big difference for those developers. So so the staff would make the recommendation, then the council would vote yes for what they would choose. But the application that we're giving to the developers, is that something that's already finished and approved, or would we see that in advance of it being made available? The application is we're in the process of finishing of doing a final edit on that, and we can certainly make that available to you once before we put it, before we post it, if that would be good. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. So is everybody okay with option one. Is that all right okay. All right. That was easy. Thank you very much. Thank you Curtis. Okay. Item number three. Acceptance of Deputy Mayor Pro Tem. Homer's resignation. Okay. Here, let me get you on. Thank you. Mayor, it's not something I ever thought I would be doing, but I'm just going to. As my fellow council members know, I submitted my letter of resignation last Tuesday or two Tuesdays ago after our last council meeting, and I just thought I would be on the record and go ahead and share it with everyone tonight. Dear Mayor Muns and members of the City Council, I'm writing to inform you of my decision to resign from the City Council to run for county office. I believe government works best when people have choices and fair representation on their ballots. When I was first elected in a competitive five way race and later reelected unopposed, I understood the message. The people of Plano trusted me to represent all of them. Honoring that trust is at the heart of this decision. Serving and representing the people of Plano has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of my life. I'm deeply grateful for the trust our community has placed in me, and proud to have worked alongside past and present council members and our dedicated city staff to keep Plano a safe, vibrant, and forward thinking city. Our recent decision to adopt the 2472 excuse me to adopt the new 2472 firefighter schedule reflects what I love most about this city. Our shared commitment to thoughtful, compassionate leadership, and to doing what's right for the people who serve and protect our community. Every day I leave the City Council with gratitude and hope, and I look forward to continuing to serve Plano in Collin County in the years ahead, and I will be sticking around. I understand until my seat is filled and I plan to continue to to serve the city faithfully moving forward. Thank you. Well, Deputy Mayor, we are we are totally disappointed that you're leaving our dais, but we are very proud of you and being able to step up and continue to serve in a capacity that will, will be very meaningful to the county. Unfortunately, we have to have a motion and a second to accept. Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Homer's resignation. So I will go ahead and allow you guys to do that if you'd like. Mr. Mayor. I don't want to accept a resignation, to be honest with you. I'm. I'm pretty selfish about this. When we had our team building, if you remember, when we were back there talking about personalities, everybody on this dais except one were over here at the bottom of this one quadrant. And we had this one shining star on the other side that always provided outside the box thinking. And that person is our deputy Mayor pro Tem, Julie Homer. I would say she's going to be missed. I'll miss her, her expertise. I miss her, miss her insightful questions. And I'll well, I'm not I'll say I'll miss her friendship, but I'm sure we'll stay connected. But with that being said, I move that we accept. Miss Julie Hart, Deputy Mayor pro tem Julie Homer's resignation. So this is really awkward for me. Julie, you're sort of in my class, so everybody in my class of election member council members are now gone one way or the other. So, I mean, I think it's really but I think it really does say something about Plano that we really have excellent individuals who are willing to dedicate their life to public service and continue to dedicate their life to public service, whether it's in the city of Plano or in the entire Collin County, or maybe to the state of Texas. So I absolutely am honored that we had a chance to serve together. For how many years now? Seven, four years. It felt like nine. But anyway, four years. I am honored to have served with you for four years and and I wish you the best in everything you do. And I know that whatever you touch will be turning into gold. So with that, I second the motion. I just wanted to say that. Julie makes me so proud. I, I was helpful in getting her elected to this. Council. And from the moment we first set out to to do that and and she has made me proud. She's made me proud of the way she has poured her her time and her heart into this position. And I don't know that anyone has ever put as much time and effort into this as as she has. We're going to miss that. We are going to feel that void. She's not going to be replaced. She's going to be, you know, the role will be filled. But. I'm also still proud that that you are going to take it upon yourself to continue to make the effort to serve our people, our Plano. And I know that you will put that same effort into whatever you do in the future. Council Member Quintanilla Thank you, mayor. So I had to write down my comments because I wanted to make sure I had it done right. So I just want to take a minute to acknowledge. I recognize and acknowledge Julie for her incredible service on Plano City Council. And although my time with you on council has been short in our official capacities, I've known you even before that and it's been such a pleasure working alongside you and her. And I've seen firsthand the passion and thoughtfulness and your integrity that you bring to council with every resident in mind. And that's what I've always acknowledged and respected about you. Julie has always led with heart and a deep commitment to our community, and her impact will be felt long after her time here on council. So I'll be staring at that chair. And so, Julie, I want to say thank you for your leadership, your friendship and your unwavering dedication to Plano. And I wish you nothing but the best on your next chapter. Thank you, Councilmember Downs. Thank you mayor. Everyone here is articulated how I feel about Julie, so I won't say anything other than from the depths of my heart. Julie, thank you for being here for Plano every step of the way. From the moment your parents moved here and you grew up here, and you embraced everything about Plano, and you continue to do that. Shine brightly, my friend, and we look forward to seeing where your path takes you. Thank you. Councilmember. Care to wrap it up? Julie? I've watched you for a lot of years, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your leadership. The way you show up, the way you're there for all of the citizens, for every neighborhood, for every business. I've been watching you for a long time, and I aspire to be the same kind of council person that you have been. Thank you for everything you've done and thanks again for your leadership. Thank you. So reluctantly, we have a motion and a second to accept the resignation of Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Elmer. And we'll do this by hand. I'll not in favor all accepting it. Please raise your hand. Okay. Motion passes 8 to 0. The next item is related. It's a special election to fill a vacancy update. Lisa, could you kind of go over the important dates? I will okay, there we go. The important dates here we we will be calling the election on the 10th your next council meeting. And that will create the vacancy. So people will be able to start gathering their signatures.

I now declare the Plano City Council is reconvened in open session that all council members are present. We'll begin tonight's regular meeting with the invocation led by Rabbi Michael Kushnick. Congregation Anshei Torah and the Pledge of Allegiance and Texas Pledge led by Fire Explorer post 911. Would you please rise? Hello to our God and God of our ancestors. We ask your blessing for our city, for its government, and for all its leaders and advisors. Teach them insights of your Torah that they may administer all affairs fairly, that peace and security, happiness and prosperity, justice and freedom may forever abide in our midst. We are so relieved that the last 20 remaining hostages of over the 250 were returned recently from the hands of terrorists. Yet we still pray that the remaining 13 bodies are returned to Israel for proper burial. At the same time, Jews around the world and in our city are scared. The rise of anti-Semitism in this country and around the world is terrifying. May our city be a beacon of light and hope that exemplifies that. The Jewish community may live in safety and continue to bring benefit to the community. We appreciate everything our mayor and members of the City Council, along with the police, have done to ensure our safety. God, please help us to end all forms of hatred and bigotry so that we can live side by side with all neighbors to bring peace, goodness and blessing to our city and communities and a world that is becoming even more polarized. Let us learn to see the good in others and treat everyone as they were created in the image of God. Let us all say Amen. Amen. Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The Texas flag I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas. One state under God, one and indivisible. Thank you. Be seated. Sounds like you guys probably have one of these, but I'm going to go ahead and give you another one just in case. Okay. Can we take a picture? Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thanks, guys. You can, you know it's okay. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. So we have several presentations tonight.

I'm here representing the board of directors for Texas, the state chapter of the American Planning Association, as the North Central Section director and very excited to represent even more heroes this evening. So with three state planning awards, the Texas Planning Awards program recognizes outstanding efforts in planning achievements and planning leadership in Texas. These awards represent the state's highest planning honors. The first award is the Gold Award for journalism, created in partnership with Plano Television for the city's 150th anniversary. Sticking to the plan, Plano's Journey to Excellence is a documentary showcasing how comprehensive planning has guided Plano's evolution from a rural town to a nationally recognized city. Through 29 interviews with community leaders and planners, it highlights the often unseen impact of planning on growth, infrastructure and quality of life. The video has been well received by community partners and used as an educational tool to increase public understanding of Plano's importance and lasting influence on Plano's success. The second award is the Silver Award for Historic Preservation, which recognizes a planning project initiative or endeavor that is historically significant and that may be used or accessed by the public. This one's pretty exciting. The Plano, Texas Pool project highlights how Plano's Historic Texas Pool, built in 1961 and once facing decline, was revitalized through community driven preservation, strategic partnerships and alignment with the city's Comprehensive Plan. The effort transformed the world's first Texas shaped pool into a thriving city or civic landmark that advances heritage conservation neighborhood vitality and public health through inclusive programing and heritage tourism. Third and last is the Silver Award for implementation which recognizes a community or a region in accomplishing positive changes as a result of planning Plano's future land use map implementation tools translate the city's comprehensive plan into a clear, data driven guidance for zoning and redevelopment decisions, the land use and housing inventory, future land use, future land use dashboards and findings policy work together to align projects with long range, long range community goals through transparent and consistent evaluation. This integrated approach has strengthened public trust and set a higher standard for plan implementation across the city. It is my absolute honor and privilege to present you and the city's esteemed planning staff with these three awards from APA, Texas. Thank you very much. The City of Plano was recently recognized by the American Planning Association Texas Chapter with awards in journalism historic preservation and implementation categories. The APA Texas Planning Awards program recognizes communities for outstanding contribution to planning in Texas. The Awards committee evaluates nominees based on originality, innovation engagement implementation and effectiveness quality and promotion of planning. So once again, not surprised, but congratulations all of you for all the work that you're doing, not only for the city of Plano, but planning for the future of of what we have to look forward to.

This portion of the meeting is to allow up to three minutes per speaker, with 30 total minutes on items of interest or concern, and not on items that are on the current agenda. The council may not discuss these items, but may respond with factual or policy information. The Council may choose to place the item on a future agenda, and we do have two speakers this evening. The first one is Crystal Curry. Hello Council here once again, glad to greet you all and see you all again today. I stand here frankly. Verklempt overwhelmed and kind of out of words. This is just not okay. What is happening to me? The insinuations and the miscommunication that this is somehow some type of game, or that we're waiting for some arbitrary decision, or it requires some public vote when in fact it does not. My brain was given to me at birth. It is not up for public vote. All of us have inalienable rights. So what is in a brain? Well, there's a lot. Obviously, my intellectual property, my solutions, but also my visions, my future, my hopes, my dreams, my emotions, my fleeting thoughts and my deepest fears. A brain is what makes us who we are. It makes us human. I cannot express the level of deep, excruciating pain. And I am here once again asking for help. I reviewed my slide deck and I handed it to each of you, gave you an overview of the issues that I'm dealing with, and I'm following up tonight to elicit feedback about the last page of the deck, which is how can Plano help? There is a legal duty for sworn elected officials to elevate concerns like the ones I've presented, including generational impacts. I've requested to meet with the city council members to prioritize immediate resolution process. All of this solutioning process has with my ultimate goal of banning this use case, saving a lineage, and gaining back control of my own cognitive data. So I'm just asking for your continued help to address these concerns. There are various public issues that I could go into that have happened and heightened over just this past weekend, but there's not enough time for me to even go into that. But please, I'm asking once again for your help to go through this process. I've already engaged some of the state representatives and other, followed some other advice and recommendations that you all have given me. But as usual, I will just continue to follow up with you guys to get resolution. Thank you so much. The next speaker is shampoo Siri shout. Imagine you're at a dinner with your close friends, but instead of a dinner, they say that, well, we actually have an announcement to make. In a couple of weeks, you'll no longer be able to return to your home. Very confused. Not sure what that means. Similar to when there's job loss, right? What do I do now? Where do I go? What is my identity? What is my purpose? I mean, what about all my hard work? I don't know how I feel, my confidence, who am I? This is my home. My home away from home where I spend hours and hours with daily. My name is Shampoo Saraswat. I'm a mom of three, a very proud Plano resident of 20 years. I grew up next door, so you guys kind of adopted me. My two best friends, one lived on the east side and one lived on the west. Every weekend I'd spend time driving up Avenue K. No Central Expressway yet. But I always love Plano. I love my friends. What I'm speaking on behalf of is the city of Plano. 50 year Plano Acrobats program, a great program that's, you know, helped so many young ladies especially. And boys too, I'm sure. I am not one to speak publicly, but I saw a petition and it's currently at over 520 signatures. And I thought, wow, so it's just not that 30 or 35 of us, which okay, maybe similar to a baseball team or basketball team or, you know, hey, we're not going to have volleyball anymore for the school, but it does impact bigger than just that little count. You know, you have a hidden gem. We looked did the research. There's no other programs out there like that. Little girls, they want to dance, do drill, team gymnastics, of course. Cheer, maybe drama. They all cost $400 or more monthly, 500, 620 hours a week commitment. And you know, it's not something that is very accessible or affordable to a number of us. So I'm here to speak on my behalf as well as theirs. More so, it's a critical age. 9 to 14 of these young women who we want to grow into leaders and show that grit. And I feel that I believe in you guys. You have been great stewards of the city. I have loved every moment of my 20 years here, raising my three children for the grit. Let's be resourceful, figure out an innovative way to to make a difference for these girls, to keep this program, that social emotional. That's important, as my kids said, you know, how how is this this is impossible. And I said, exactly when you put the right people together for the right purpose, anything can happen. So in the short term, let's see what we can do to keep these girls for the next six months. In the long term, let's continue to invest in our youth. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Okay. The consent agenda. Move on to the consent agenda, please. The consent agenda. The consent agenda will be acted upon in one motion and contains items which are routine and typically noncontroversial. Items may be removed from this agenda for individual discussion by a council member, the city manager, or any citizen. The presiding officer will establish time limits based upon the number of speaker requests. Okay, we we have one item that's needs to be removed. Item H, we have a speaker for that, but we can. Councilman horn yes. Go ahead, Mr. Mayor. We move. We approve the consent agenda. Except for item H to be pulled for individual consideration. Okay. Second that okay, so I have a motion a second to approve the agenda, with the exception of item h. Please vote. Motion passes 8 to 0 item h. Do it. Go ahead. Sorry. Getting ahead of you. Item h, RFB number 2020 5-4 79 B for Rigsby Drive. Peppermint Tree Place, Laurel Lane Trail, Ridge Drive. Paving and water improvements. Project number Eng, CMB 0003 for the engineering department to SB or excuse me, CIB Construction Company incorporated in the amount of $7,253,979 and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. And the speaker on this item is Janelle Tang. Thank you for hearing me. I think that I didn't understand that the consent agenda would get such an overwhelming yes from this, from the City Council, but I'm here to say that I wholly support that item H be approved by this by the City Council. Our home is situated near the creeks and we love seeing nature. And it means that a lot of our neighborhoods being swept down stream and replacing the box culverts and stabilizing the stream banks will preserve residential property and benefit all of the Briarwood neighbors. A little insight about our neighborhood and upcoming design. Just over five years ago, the city completed the improvement project on 18th Street from Jupiter to Meadows Elementary and from 14th Street up Rigsby Drive to Meadows Elementary. The boulevards are wide and smooth and perfect for businesses for busses and cars dropping off kids at Meadows Elementary, and it offers ample space for power slides, donuts and burnouts. We asked the city to consider traffic calming designs when completing the improvements north of 14th Street on Rigsby. It is a residential neighborhood. Lots of families are walking and they walk their dogs. They walk their children, and we would like to see the sidewalks widened. The current narrow sidewalks mean that the mailboxes and trash day and foliage cause pedestrians to walk into the street. So please consider in this program, widening the sidewalks. And I would also suggest raised intersections making for safe crossings and add bicycle lanes, some less favorable traffic ideas for slowing down traffic on Rigsby would be the rumble strips, the road humps, and the speed tables, as those cause a lot of noise in our community. We appreciate that you have so many things to take into consideration for this project to work, and I do hope that the City Council approves this bid for the project on Rigsby and our neighborhood north of us. Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay. Do I have a motion for item H? Council member care. Mister mayor, I move that we approve item h. I'll second that. Okay, so I have a motion a second to approve item H, please vote. Motion passes 8 to 0. Thank you. Items for individual consideration. Items for individual consideration. Public hearing items.

Public hearing and consideration of an ordinance to amend the Built Environment Pillar. Future land use map and dashboards. Thoroughfare. Thoroughfare. Plan map. Bicycle transportation plan. Map and parks. Master plan. Map of the Comprehensive Plan originally adopted by Ordinance Number 2021, Dash 11 one and providing an effective date. Good evening, mayor, council and executives. I'm Christina Day. I'm here to give you a brief update on the comprehensive plan amendments for this year. So this is a routine process that we've adopted to give annual updates that keep the comprehensive plan fresh and put us on a cycle of a ten year update to the comprehensive plan, where in 2031, we're looking at a full comprehensive plan update. This is year four of the cycle where we're doing our first look at the built environment in our process, and we're also looking at the maps of the comprehensive plan. So the built environment pillar includes land use and community design transportation housing and neighborhoods. It's got a hierarchy that there include policies and actions under those pillar components. We've also looked at the future land use map, the thoroughfare plan map bicycle transportation. And as a bonus, this time we didn't intend to look at. We're only looking at three maps initially, but there were some changes to the parks master plan, so we went ahead and looked at that as well. So the timeline of this project, we did take the transportation component discussion to PNC in June. In August, we followed up with another discussion at PNC on land use, community design and housing and neighborhoods. In September, we published recommendations for public review, and then in October, we went to the Planning and Zoning Commission with amendments. So the recommendations that came out of the Planning and Zoning Commission, we do have one new action in land use and community design section that so you'll see some renumbering related to that, and that's related to retail zoning policies to try to consolidate those and get some clarity there. Then renumbering and some kind of superficial updates there to for clarity primarily, again, updates to a number of transportation components, primarily for clarity. Two actions each and some policy background related to roadway systems, bicycles, transit and the pedestrian environment. And then only one action and the background text related to housing and neighborhoods. Then there were some significant changes, I'll say, to the future land use map, and that we wanted it to be clearer where there are small area plans. We've always had written guidance that the small area plans are provide the land use guidance related to the future land use map, but it wasn't necessarily clear when you looked at the map. So we've made some changes on the map itself. So that's clearer. So you'll see that represented on the map. And then we've also updated the dashboards regarding how open space is determined. The thoroughfare plan map was updated with regard to the Silver Line station area plan. We've also just looked at overall accuracy. We went back and have added a reference. There was a resolution from 1998 that had dropped off when Plano Tomorrow was implemented inadvertently, and so that's been re-added. There was a bunch of background information on that in your packet, and then there we ended up removing the type F streets. You may notice it's a little bit cleaner. Look, some of those they didn't connect through. And I think they just caused some confusion for people. So we're recommending those be removed. So then with the downtown streets map, there were just a few changes here, primarily related to alignment with the Silver Line station area plan. And then the bicycle transportation plan map. Those were primarily changes that aligned with updates to projects that have been done by the Parks Department. And then again with the Parks Master plan map. We were reflecting changes in conditions and priorities, and then alignment with the Silver Line station area plan. Then this is something that we thought was important coming out of the legislative session to note, because of the potential conflicts between the acts of the legislature and our comprehensive plan, we wanted to state very explicitly the plan, authority and precedence that the. We acknowledge that the state law supersedes our our plan authority. So that's the extent of the changes that we're proposing. These changes were recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission by a vote of 7 to 0. I'm available for questions. And I'm also accompanied by the comprehensive planning manager, Drew Bronner. We're both of us available for questions you might have. Okay. Any questions for Christina? Oh, do you have a comment? No. Great job. Thank you. All right. Thank you. I'll open the public hearing. There are no speakers on this item. All right. I'll close the public hearing. Confine the comments to the council. Go ahead. Hold on. I'm there. Almost. Okay. Ready? Yeah. All right. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Christina, thanks for great presentation. The comprehensive plan, as you as you're aware, we went through arduous detail on getting this completed, and we're committed to revisiting it every year, every two years, as as required, as we stated. So this is a great plan. It's a dynamic plan. We'll continue to be revisiting this as as we're influenced by outside forces. But with that being said, I'll make a motion. I move that we approve the item one as presented with the attachment exhibit A I second that. Okay, I have a motion a second to approve. Item one please vote. Motion passes 8 to 0. Next item is item two. Item number two. Public hearing regarding the levy of the scheduled drainage charges as set forth in the Municipal Drainage Ordinance. Karen Rhodes Whitley, Budget Director this is our second public hearing regarding the municipal drainage rate. We have an increase that will be effective on November 1st. It's an average of $1.50 per month for residential and 0.02 $0.08 per 100 impervious square feet for commercial side. This is the public hearing. It's our second public hearing. On the next item, we will vote on the actual increase. All right. I'll open the public hearing. There are no speakers on this item. I'll close the public hearing. Confine the comments to the council. You got it. All right, here we are. Go ahead. Motion to approve. Just one second. Yes. That was just the hearing. Public hearing. Now we do. Number three do the ordinance. All right.
