Ayes, two nays. Council Bill 156 has passed. Madam Secretary, can you please put the next item on our screens? And, Councilwoman Black. Will you put please put Council Bill 153 on the floor for passage. Thank you, Mr. President pro tem I move that council bill 17 dash 153 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. It has been moved and seconded comments by members of Council. Councilman Cashman. Yes, I have a question. Mr. President. Is Angelica Sears in the house? It's kind of like I walked. Down the red carpet. And so last week when this was put before us on first reading, I asked if there was a response from the fire department, and you indicated that there was. And then we found out that there was a little bit of confusion there. Can you go through that. For me, please? So, yeah, last week I did say that there was a response from the fire department. So this is what happened. So one of our agents, John Reynolds, he called Dave Clark of the fire department to discuss this very specific vacation and asked him if he had any other comments about this vacation. He indicated that he had no other comments. So what John Reynolds did then is follow up with an email saying this is just an email confirming that you have no other comments. He did not respond to that. What I was referring to or what I misspoke on is that they did have a conversation. Okay. And can you describe the inn in case. Of a fire on on how. The fire department would approach that particular situation in the alley? You know, to be honest, I cannot speak to that. I believe one of the representatives can. Good evening. Council members Brian Connolly with the law firm of Art and Johnson representing unico properties. So the requirement of the fire code is that there be two points of ingress or egress access to the building. And so for any one of those buildings is located along the alley, you've got the front door, which is either on Swasey or on Wynkoop, and then you've got the backdoor which is on the alley as you move down the alley. And I only know this because I was in a meeting with Dave Clark from the fire department on this on November 3rd of 2015. And so as you move down the alley, there's actually a bridge over the alley as you get closer to our client's property. So a hook and ladder truck actually cannot access all the way down the alley. A hook and ladder truck can only go as far as the bridge over the alley. So you still have two points of ingress and egress from each of those buildings. You have the point that's on the front side on either wing Cooper wasI, and then you have the point that's on the back side. So a hook and ladder truck could drive down the alley. It would then back out once they're done fighting the fire. But they do have access to that to that building. I also just to follow up on on Mukasey's statement, we also have a letter dated October 3rd of 2016 from Scott Briscoe, the chief building official, which confirms that the vacation of the alley would meet the requirements of the building and fire code. Okay. Thank you. All right thing. No other comments. I'm comfortable with passing that through. Okay, so no, you don't need a vote anymore, not a secretary, since it's already been moved and seconded and put on the floor. What do we need to do if we're going to move it to the black vote? We're doing the first and second degree. Then we can cancel it and just put it with the black vote. So that would be Councilmember Black in Herndon. Any objections from Councilwoman Black or Councilman Herndon? No. No. All right. So go ahead. Move that back to the black vote. Um. They think that all our items that were called out, all of their bills for introduction are ordered published. We are now ready for the block vote on resolutions and bills on final consideration. Kels members remember that this is a consent or block vote and you will need to vote I. Otherwise, this is your last chance to call out an item for a separate vote. Councilwoman Blackwell, you put the resolutions for adoption and the bills on final consideration for final passage on the floor. I move that resolutions be adopted and bills on final consideration be placed upon final consideration and do pass in a block for the following items. 17 Dash 015 117 Dash 022 517 Dash 022 717 Dash 022 817 Dash 022 917 Dash 022 317.
