Approved 4.9.25 <br /> 152 <br /> 153 Meg Millard: I was present at that meeting, and Marilyn Carter was not present. <br /> 154 <br /> 155 Beth Bronson: That's correct. <br /> 156 <br /> 157 Meg Millard: So that's a change to who was here. <br /> 158 <br /> 159 Beth Bronson: And if anybody else has something to change from the minutes I would make a motion to <br /> 160 approve the minutes with Meg's adjustments to the attendance record. <br /> 161 <br /> 162 Adam Beeman: I second that. <br /> 163 <br /> 164 Lamar Proctor: All right. All in favor of approval with that amendment. <br /> 165 <br /> 166 MOTION BY Beth Bronson to approve the minutes with amendments. Seconded by Adam Beeman <br /> 167 <br /> 168 MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY <br /> 169 <br /> 170 Lamar Proctor: All approved, so the meeting minutes have passed, and I don't have any comments, so <br /> 171 does anyone have any informational items or anything they'd like to discuss? Nope. Do 1 <br /> 172 have a motion to adjourn? <br /> 173 <br /> 174 Beth Bronson: Well, I would just like to thank Adam for his service. I think it's pretty amazing to be a <br /> 175 member of the public. For all of us kudos because this is on our time. This is on our <br /> 176 ability to, and kudos to the planning staff for working with us as they do and being so <br /> 177 helpful and informative and providing trainings and guidance when asked.

Do I have a motion to adjourn? <br /> 192 <br /> 193 Statler Gilfillen: I have one thing. Just a historical issue to bring up, and I had sent an email to Cy.
