Harry Brown, District 3 Council Member. Connor Casey, District 2. All right. Is everybody, the first item on the agenda is to approve the agenda. Are there any proposed changes? Okay. Next item on the agenda is general business and appearances. This is an opportunity for any member of the public to be heard to mention anything that is not on the agenda. The comments be limited to two minutes and the mayor is now here. So I will turn the chair over to the mayor at 12.04 PM. I just announced the opportunity to do business and appearances. And the mayor should introduce herself. Yes. Great. Thank you, Anne Watson here joining you remotely. My apologies for being a little late here. I have somebody here helping us get some new internet, which is very exciting. So just took, took me a second to, to transition here. So, so we've just opened general business and appearances. Okay. Any, any one for general business and appearances? I guess I, I do have something that I want to recognize. I got word that Warren Kitzmiller has passed away and just want to extend my condolences to his family and I just want to let them know that we are, we're thinking about them and we're grateful for all the work and service that he did on behalf of the city of Montpelier. I'm really grateful for him and his work. And he's just such a wonderful man. He's so kind. So just very, I just wanted to, to at least acknowledge that. And we've lowered, if I'm not mistaken, Bill, we've lowered the city flag to half-mast in recognition of his passing. Donna, did you have something you were going to say? I was going to bring up that I thought we should send a card, but maybe we can't all sign it, but at least I've got something official from the council besides whatever we do individually. Is that appropriate? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, that should be fine. Great. Okay, great. And to be, to be clear, I asked this may flag be put in half-mast. I haven't actually gone on to see if it is yet, but it will be. If it's not already, it will be. Great. Okay. Thank you. Anyone else for general business and appearances? Okay. All right. So we will close that. And so now we are on to our just check. We do, we do have a quorum. There's a quorum of us. So that's good. Okay, so to the consent agenda, is there a motion regarding the consent agenda? I go ahead. I move the consent agenda. Second it. Okay, motion and a second for the discussion. Yes, Jack. I just want to say good work, thumbs up on getting energy efficient hybrid for this, for this purchase and consistent with our energy efficiency policies. Yeah, I agree. Okay. So there's been a motion and a second further discussion. They all in favor, please say aye. Aye. And opposed. Okay, so I said that passes. So we're on to the municipal tax rates and the water sewer benefit charge and sewer separation charge. Is there a excuse me. Is there a motion regarding the tax rate? I move that we I move that we approve it, approve the tax rates as as proposed. Also. Okay, motion and a second. Further discussion. Okay, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. And opposed. Okay, so it passes unanimously and I believe that is it. And I don't think there is really another we've listed mayor's report council reports, etc. Does anyone have anything they'd like to report? Nope. Okay, same. Bill or John, anything you'd like to report? Nope. Okay, great. All right, well with that. Yeah, we'll see you see you next week. All right, thanks so much. All right, thank you all. Without objection, we'll adjourn 1209.
