Thank you, Madam Mayor. I'd like to speak to 51 and 52, and I can speak to them at the same time as well.
Okay, thank you. The staff has pulled the item 65, so that is no longer on our agenda for discussion or part of our meeting. It is withdrawn.
It's
settled. Yes, ma'am. All right. Anything else, Ms. Harris? Is there anything else? Thank you. No, ma'am. I'm not sure if it was for comment or separate vote on those items. Ms. Mayfield, are those for comment altogether or separate vote? They would be for comment. So I'm going to say pull those out for a separate vote but together. Okay,
thank you. So
27, 29, 33, and 44. Thank you very much. And Madam Mayor. Yours would be the same, yes?
As in regards to items number 59, 60, and 61, Mr. Tommy Odom, the agent for the property owner, is here and has requested an opportunity to speak and address the council.
So he would speak at the public forum in the chamber?
He
speaks here.
Well, I'm sorry. Wait a minute. I want to make sure that I'm hearing this correctly. So usually we would have people come down and speak after we went through this. But
this was this is not a part. He's asking to speak on items relating to matters on your consent agenda.
Okay, got it. And the
consent agenda is being carried forth
here. Okay,
sorry.
Okay, so we'll go to Ms. Mayfield for items 29, 33, 44, 52.
Do you want to pass all the other ones first?
Oh, yeah. Let's go ahead and do the remaining. Can we have the council approve the items without the exception of, let's see, 29, 33, 44, and then the 65 has been withdrawn. And 51 and 52. 52
as well as 27. 27.
27. And so moved. Okay, we have a motion and a second.
Second. One minute. I do not know if you want to defer the items 59, 60, and 61 after the speaker has addressed the items.
Okay, we will. We will hold the numbers 59 and 60. 61. Wait a
minute,
I can't write that fast. 59. Sixty-one and sixty, right? Okay. All right, Ms. Mayfield.
We need to vote.
Did we not vote? No. Okay. All in favor of the motion for the... We have a motion and a second. And a second. All in favor of the motion, please raise your hands. Anyone disapprove or not agree? All right. So we've passed all of those, and now we'll go to Ms. Mayfield for the ones...
There was a lot
of conversation going back and forth, so I did not hear the motion or the second.
The
motion. With all the multiple conversations and pulling out 59 and 61, I did not hear a motion for everything. So, yes, I requested item 27, 29, 33, and 48. and you' re saying there was a motion and a second for all the other items there' s an item in there that I did not pull out and I' m going to be a no to and that' s 28. 28 I did not have 28 I had 29, 33 and 27 and you want to add 28 so why don' t we go ahead and.

you
Madam Mayor if you like the are items 27 29 33 34 items 51 52 items 59 60 and 61.
So for me, it, what I initially asked for was 27. 29, 33, 44. That's what I mentioned. I heard you say 34, so I wanted to make sure that it was number 44. It's my mistake.
Okay, we want to make
sure. I wrote for you. And 28. Okay. All right. So, Miss, we have everything else. We have the motion that we've completed for all the others except for those that have been withdrawn.
And number 65 was pulled from the consent agenda,
