Thank you. Thank you. Can I get an approval, a motion to approve the agenda, please? Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. Second. Mr. Chair, I just want to clarify, we're approving the agenda and not the consent agenda at this point? Correct. Agenda. Correct. Still second. Can I get a vote? Peyton Hatcher? Yes. Dana Arth? Yes. Terry Trafton? Yes. Chip Tazinski? Jessica Grinneau? Tanya Jonnaford? Lee Moore? Thank you. All right. Do we have any public comments related not to a specific item on the agenda, but in general to the Planning Commission? I do not have any notices and I'm not seeing anybody running to the microphone. So, all right. I guess we'll move ahead. Can I get an approval of the consent agenda, which includes item A, a vacation of easement on Ward and Innovation Parkway, and then an application for sign at Q39, and then the approval of July 9th action letter. Mr. Chairman, let me try this again. I'd like to present the consent agenda as presented for approval. Second. Can I get a vote, please? Peyton Hatcher? Dana Arth? Terry Trafton? Chip Tazinski? Jessica Grinneau? Tonya Johnna Ford? Lee Moore? Thank you. All right. That now moves us down to item six, public hearings.

See if the blockage is cleared. Yeah, go ahead and pull out. We're done. With the job complete, the camera is removed, cleaned, and returned to the truck. And the crew moves on to the next job. In addition to addressing identified problems, the team will systematically check every line in the city in a five-year period, keeping costs low and our community healthy. Today and for years to come. Traditionally, we think as police officers, those responding to law enforcement needs within the community. But honestly, we are there to serve our citizens. And our citizens do go into crisis. They do have mental health crises. And we're being called to those scenes on a regular basis. In order to help serve those citizens better, we did initiate the Crisis Intervention Team Program. These are officers that are specially trained to de-escal ate crisis situations. Recently, we've brought co-respondents onto the scene, licensed qualified mental health professionals housed within our police department. And they respond with those officers directly to those scenes where a crisis is occurring so they can interact with that citizen and get them the help they need right there on that scene. The co-responders are either a bachelor or master level in a behavioral health-related field. They wear plain clothes. They don't carry weapons or anything like that. I have a police radio that I listen to all day. Listen for, you know, those key words. Mental health, behavioral health, crisis. There's a lo …

Thank you. 1-0-4-0-0-1-0-4-0-1-1-0-4-0-2 by amending the authorized expenditures for the city. Mr. Gentry. Good evening. Thank you, Chair. Rick Gentry, Budget Manager . Item TMP 3731 is the second amendment to the current FY27 fiscal year budget. It consists of the following items and adjustments to the budget that we're requesting. First item is the recently consolidated the cashiers and the Treasury cashiers and development services customer service representatives into one group under development services. So part of the amendment is to move the spending authority from the finance department for those two positions over to the development services budget, as well as moving those F TEs over there as well. And those two Treasury cashier positions become customer service representative positions. So you'll see that reflected on the next time you see an F TE-charred organization for the city. So that's a non-increase to the budget, just simply moving from one department to another department. Okay. The second item on the amendment is on the water utilities budget. They included in their budget was the purchase of an additional dump truck with a dump bed and the snow plow to help with their operations. That was approved as part of the budget. This part of the amendment is approving the transfer of the funds from the water and sewer operating fund over to the equipment replacement fund, which is where our VERP lives. So it's just a transfer of those dollars and then increasing t …
