A place where we pay respects. Yeah, the Remembrance Day. This is where it will take place, where the governor will speak, the mayor will speak, you will speak, Sean, and the families will be present. So hopefully, for the families and for you and your employees, I hope it brings you a little bit of healing. And I know that's the mission. It is. Thank you. You still own grade A recycling. As you mentioned, it used to bring you joy. Now it comes in and it saddens you. It hurts you. For other businesses, too, you're not an anomaly. There's others who are affected, none more than you. But with that being said, how are other businesses surviving? So I think that, you know, that's a great point. I mean, there's 90-plus businesses in this business, in this industrial park. And they were shut down for almost six months. And they, we were, our business was taken away from us. They had their business, and to their credit. But to the detriment, they weren't able to conduct business . And these are entrepreneurs. These are family-owned businesses back here. These aren't public companies. These are people who need to be open every single day. And if they're not, it can devastate a lifetime worth of work. And that's what happened here. Some of these businesses will never recover. And many of them are just struggling to get by. Yeah. It's a day we'll never forget. Some of those metals, some of the aftermath here, it's incredible, the intensity of a fire and the heat from jet fuel. It's alm …

*music* Thank you. And Brian, is it true? Thank you. So that's what we're just saying, what we're just discussing is what's in the planning commission recommendations. What's in the KRC recommendations is that we create an entirely new zoning classification, call it data center classification, a data center zoning. that you could apply for a rezoning of a property anywhere in Jefferson County. And if you got it rezoned to a data center zone and you met all of the other requirements in these regulations, setbacks, and other requirements, that you could basically build a data center anywhere in Jefferson County. So there's positives and negatives to both of these. So I think that's kind of why I think it's such an important conversation. So with that said, I've got Councilman Piagentini in the queue. Let's start with you, Councilman. Actually, I would like to hear from the administration their opinion on that exact question. So the way it's structured right now, sort of N1 with CUP versus going to its own zoning classification, which, as Chairman Owen said, really you could apply for that rezoning anywhere you want in the county where there's, you know, it could be R4 currently, you're applying for the rezoning. And it could be literally anywhere in the city versus what you've recommended here, which is you have to be in these certain places, but it's not a full rezoning. It's just a conditional use permit. Can you talk about the pros and cons and why you landed on this recomme …

i am proud to continue this mission. You will begin seeing collection boxes as you see down here at restaurants and businesses throughout Louisville. Each box will have an attached explanation card with a qr code that you can drop a new coat in the box. Scan the qr code to make a netary donation, which will go directly towards purchasing new coats. So while you MAY wrap a child in a coat will give them warmth. It also gives them something so much more. Gives them compassion. It shows them hope. It shows them that someone in our community cares about them. It' s a great thing to give somebody something, but when a kid gets a coat, the smile they get is priceless, and just lmpd being there, teaming up with all the fine people behind me, proves unity in the community is a big effort, and it takes a whole team to create this unity. Chase was a special, special student and athlete. When he, when he passed, it devastated the entire team because we were a family. If you' re able to give, please, instead of driving up and getting that cup of coffee, just sending $5, you don' t know what the impact is going to be for the kids in our community. $5 could make a big, big difference. Services and the Heart Team, and it' s designed to help protect our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness during periods of crisis, including severe weather events. And this funding that we' re announcing today will support more than 400 additional beds during the coldest months of the year. It will als …

Friday October 16th. Thank you. Good morning. This is the Friday October the 16th meeting of the Louisville Metro Code Enforcement Board. We're going to go ahead and conduct our business meeting. My name is Chris Wontland. I am the chairman. We'll go ahead and open this meeting. Do we have any new business? No, sir. Okay. I'm going to step back from the chair and new business would be regarding appointments. I would like to make the motion to make a standing appointment in the event only one board member is physically present in the O GL building while others attend online. I think it would make more sense that the in-person board member be appointed as the hearing officer for that day's proceedings and this shall be a standing appointment. Did I get a second on that? I'll second. Okay. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. Naya? Ms. Fallow, can you turn your camera on? Okay. Well, the ayes carry. We do have a quorum. So, so be it. You'll get me a written copy. I will sign that in. Do we have any old business? No. Any old business? No, sir. Anything else we need to discuss? Not that I know of. I will go ahead and then conclude our board meeting for the month of October. Okay. Okay. Good morning. This is the Friday, October 16th meeting of the Liberal Metro Code Enforcement Board. My name is Chris Wattland. I'm a member of the board. I, along with fellow members Christine Snyder and Pam Wadd ell here present, will be hearing cases today. Online, I've got Ms. Naya Fallow.
