Good morning everybody. It's ten o'clock in the morning on May twenty-eighth, twenty twenty-six, and I will call to order this regular meeting of the Austin City Council. Uh we have a quorum of the city council present. We are meeting in the city council chambers, which are located in City Hall at 301 West 2nd Street in Austin. Um Members, what I'll do is I'll give a rundown of what the day's gonna look like and in a moment I'll read changes and corrections into the record and then we will go from there to uh our consent agenda and the speakers that have signed up on the consent agenda. Members, right now the items that have been pulled from the consent agenda Our item number forty one has been withdrawn.
Item number sixty has been withdrawn. Item number ninety has been pulled and item number ninety two has been pulled. Uh members I would also point out that item number ninety seven will be taken up after item one oh two, just as we go through the day. We'll uh we'll hear from the speakers, we will get a motion and a second and comments and discussion on the consent agenda. Once the consent agenda is complete, we will then go to probably the Austin Housing Finance Corporation Board of Directors meeting. So what I will do is I will recess the council meeting, call that board uh meeting to order, we will deal with that, adjourn it, and then come back to the council meeting, at which point we will take up pulled items.
We also have other non consent items. We have one item that's coming from a council committee. We have eminent domain items. We have public hearings. At noon we will wherever we are we will stop at noon and we will take up our general our time certain general public communication. There will be no music today, and at two o'clock we will also have a time certain. Members, um, we typically know that we have zoning matters at a time certain, but we will also have item number sixty-seven, which is a public hearing, but we will take that item up at two p.m. because it relates to zoning item number seventy-five. And for those that are here to speak at the public hearing on item number sixty seven. That will be brought up at two o'clock.
Then item number ninety two uh will be taken up at two PM with uh the zoning item number seventy five and um And here's the way that's gonna work and just so that you 'cause it If I say it later I won't say it a couple of times. One is if sixty seven and seventy five don't pass Then we will take up item number ninety two. If they pass, item number ninety two will be withdrawn by the staff. And then of course we will take up our zoning items. So, um get your money in on the pool. What time you think we'll finish today? Let me now read changes and corrections into the record. Item number forty one, as I indicated, has been withdrawn. Item number fifty eight should add Councilmember Ryan Alter as a co sponsor.
Item number fifty nine should add Councilmember Jose Velasquez as a co sponsor. Item number sixty is withdrawn. Item number sixty-seven, as I indicated, this public hearing item will be taken up with the two o'clock P.M. zoning item number seventy-five. Item number ninety-two has been coop pulled from consent to be heard with the two o'clock p.m. zoning item number seventy-five. Items seventy three and one hundred four, when those public hearings are taken up. These items will be postponed to july twenty third, twenty twenty six. Um Also for the record. Councilmember Harper Madison and Councilmember uh Fuentus are not going to be here today. So they will be listed as absent on votes that we take. And when I call the vote as we go through the day, I probably will not each time call out their names as absent, but the record will reflect that they are not present and not voting.
