I wish to apologize to those that attended wishing to speak in regards to this item. Because we didn’t take action I never opened up public comment and that was my error. Anyone wishing to speak is very welcome to attend the meeting on September 20th at 6pm to speak on this item and the very start of the meeting in public comment.
