Thank you. All those in favor, singing five with I. I oppose. Same side. All right, thank you. Motion carries. Thank you. Cara. All right, next order of business is petition to install one handicap parking space adjacent to 1409 South Street. I believe you said some app. Yeah. We can go to that skipping through the application from Lori Campbell. She is asking to install one handicap spot adjacent to her residence at 1409 South. There is, as you can see from the picture here, there is a driveway sort of next to the residence, but I believe it's for the adjacent property. There is an alley through the back, but not, it's not as close as parking on the street would be which is why she's requesting the spot there are no other handicap spots on that street so it's kind of straight forward. Any concerns? Have there been any objections from the neighborhood? No we ma the the the the the the the the the the the the of the trees of scary and the overhead picture. Miss, let's see, Patricia Floyd is this right? Of course, of course. Thank you. Patricia Floyd lives at 727. Her residence is there kind of under the tree on the left. Her door sits back further than the front, the most front part of that house on Brown Street. There is a walk that comes out to the main sidewalk. There is alley access across the back, but not ample parking or really the spot in front of the house on Brown Street would be closer than the parking that's available in the back. She has her placard. You can kind of see, I believe this car that's parked out in front in the bottom picture is already hers. So she sort of parks there. And then she has access to that walkway to her residence. And again, letters sent out no responses. Thank you. Any questions or concerns? I have a motion to approve. So moved. Thank you. You do have second. Thank you. Scott, thank you. All those in favor, second five with I? I. I. I have both same sign. Thank you.

John Mon on T T bird design on behalf of Ripple. Okay, yeah, please come on up and state your name. John Mon. I'm a representative for a report. Thank you. Okay. And do we have any discussion on the streetery? John, is there anything that we need to know? You know, I think at this point, we have 100% committed to the idea that we're really going to do it, but we want to make sure that we're following the protocol and everything so that we can if we do decide to. It's kind of an owner decision at this point still. Okay. What is the business? Rip one company. Oh. Yeah. That's why Scott's going to stay on this boat. And we sent out letters to everyone on our block as well. We didn't get any responses from anyone on that as well. Thank you. Any other questions? Concerned. Move it for the moses. Just kidding. Right. What about the best seat in the house? All right. All right. Motion by anybody or a movie support the petition to proceed with the streetery at the ripple. All right, thank you all those in favor signify with I. Hi. I oppose. Thanks on all right. Thank you. Thanks Scott for setting out. Thank you John. Next Next we have a petition to install streetery and parking lane adjacent to 648 Main Street petitioner is Kevin Grant of 648 Bervinets a Garland. No. Okay. I move here. Prove it. Okay. We're going to move in a proven option in absence. Yeah. Letters were sent out? Okay. We're gonna move in a proven option, it enhances, yeah. Letters were sent out as well. We have a copy of the letter in the application. Application was completely filled out. So everything to satisfy is here. And then I've stopped on the map if you just wanna take a look at where they're proposing. Great, thank you. Any questions? We have a movement to approve. Yep. Okay. Second. All right, thank you. All in favor, sing a five with I. Hi. Okay. That's great. All right, thank you. Post same sign real quick. Okay, thank you. All right, and then last in the new business is a petition to remove a parking on the north side of Hart Street in the 1600 block. Amanda Coleman is the commissioner. Yep, so on behalf of Amanda Coleman, she submitted this application stating that the street was narrow and that her car has been hit a number of times because you can't have two cars pass with cars parked on both sides of the street. And I'll go right here to the map. Engineering went out and measured. That's the street, oh I'm sorry. Sorry, we don't have the screen, but. Oh, oh, dude, you have it? Oh, we have. Sorry, yes. It's not too special. I'm down with you. Could you guys all huddle together, please? And she's the one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The button pushes. Right. In line kind of thing. Oh, there it is. Okay. Okay. Everyone has it or no, we're so worried. Still worried. Yeah. Okay. Everyone has it or no, we're still waiting. Yeah. Sorry. Oh, no worries. That's to be the new here. Yeah, it was Frankie did it. So if all the neighbors been notified about this, we've all never There's only neighbors have been notified. No return responses. The issue for us also was engineering went out and measured the street. It's 23 feet across, eight feet allowed for parking spaces on both sides of the road, which cut that down to seven feet, which is not adequate enough for emergency vehicles to get down. So while her original application was for her car not to be hid, I think what it did was bring to light the fact that the street is not passable for emergency vehicles. Great. Thank you for that information. Hey. Yes. Yeah, please, thank you. We can't get through a seven or eight foot area with a fire track. Thank you. I have an important. Would it be a north street or north side or the south side? North side. She wants the north side. Both sides of the street have driveway access and full alley access. So there isn't everyone we're not really removing. We've also been through the neighborhood a couple of times on a couple different days and while it's not a technical there's only been one car on the street on that side on one day and there were two or three another through that whole stretch from 16th to 17th. And we're addressing her concern and in doing so, we're creating a safer access. Yes, by default. That's great. I have a motion to accept the petition to remove the parking on the north side of the horse. We do. Thank you. Second. Second, and I have, so it's just between 16th and 17th. Yes, ma'am. What's happening with that? We're not getting used to it. Yep. Thank you for the second. Second. I'm okay. It's just between 16 and 17. Yes, ma'am. Yep. Thank you for the second. All right. All in favor signify with aye. Aye. Both same sign. All right. Thank you. All right. Thank you for that. Do we have a parking operations report? That's one. We can just review real quickly. On a couple things, I guess. We continue to stay busy with some of the things we currently do. We help with events at the Long Center and the Lafayette Theatre. We open the gate arms at the end of those events so people can exit a little. More quickly and efficiently, we're still doing the temporary no parking requests. If there's people who are moving to downtown, we try to reserve parking parking for those larger vehicles to get them in and out appropriately so there's no congestion there or same thing with Duncan Hall. We've made some improvements to our mobile enforcement vehicle for better connectivity with internet as we're downtown doing our patrols and we acquired a second laptop to kind of be used as a backup because last year we a failure one of them, and there was quite a delay before we got back online with that, so we want to make sure we had another go to, we could get back in service real quick. Other now, I gave you some numbers for the first quarter. I'd be happy to answer any questions of those, but that's kind of some of the stuff we're doing. Okay. Thank you. Good. I have a question. I know it's walking fire hydrant 57 citations. I spend probably too much time with DT curbies and there's a parking space in front of a, there's a space in front of a hydrant that is marked with yellow and is really handy for people people that are doing DoorDash or Uber Eats or whatever, run in, get food and go. But... And it's really handy for people that are doing DoorDash or Uber Eats or whatever to run in and get food and go. But several times a week someone will just pull in there and park and walk away. And is there any way we could put a sign up that says no, parking rather than just the yellow curb? Because it has it on the oppositeite of the street. It's in front of the new. It's on the south side of the street. First farmers bank building. Yeah. Yeah, I just didn't appeal on that with the other day and denied it. But yeah, we can get with Nick from traffic and see if we can get some additional signs there. I say at least three times a week, someone will just pull up and park. And if I'm there when I do it and it's like, hey, this is fire hydrant. You can't park there. Yeah, we can get work to Nick with traffic and see if he can get an additional sign place there. I think it would help. Okay it's overkill but okay we'll do that. Yeah 87 now you're right. Good. Thank you. Thanks. Appreciate it. All right director's report. Do you have anything to... Just me? I'm here replacing John Collier in his position from a retirement earlier this year so I think I've now met all of you if there's anything I can do to be of assistance please let me know. Thank you very much today so far. Any public comment? All, we stand adjourned. Yeah, everyone. Yeah. That's record. That was quick. That was a long one.
