Adams County, as you mentioned, has received the Triple Crown Award from the Government Finance Officers Association, or GFOA, because you know we love our acronyms. To put this in perspective, the Triple Crown is one of the highest distinctions a local government finance team can achieve. It is not for a single project. Instead, it is awarded only to governments that successfully win all three of GFOA's finance awards in a single fiscal year.

Thank you. Second. Thank you. And so therefore that case is not coming of course this evening. Correct. So 55 has been withdrawn. Oh, okay. I am also a case planner for 59, which I will be presenting to you right now. Clear as one. Very good. Yes. So that's then my question.

I'm just trying to-- I can move to the last one first if I really wanted to. But no, let's proceed with item 59. Thank you for finding a solution for that one. There we go. Okay. Proceed. All right. Thank you. All right. Tonight we will be revisiting a continuation of the Carr illo-Julia Gate Variance, which is VSP2025-59. This is located at 2 990 Julia Room. And again, my name is Stephanie Rohr and I'm a player here at the Economist County and within the Community and Economic Development Department. The request for your decision tonight is a variance request to allow a 15-foot-8-inch ranch-style post extension, where the maximum height for fences is 6 feet or 72 inches. Taking a look at the aerial view of the subject property, it is highlighted in that light blue color in the middle. It is about a quarter mile off of the intersection of East 2 …
