Report from Public. Works recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record. Conclude the public hearing. Find that the area to be vacated is not needed for present or prospective use public use and adopt resolution ordering the vacation of the alley west of Cedar Avenue between Lorraine Away and Seventh Street, District one. Mr. Modica staff report was given by Sean Crumby, our Deputy Director of Public Works. Good evening, our mayor and council. The hearing. Number one on the agenda speaks to or seeks to move forward a vacation of the alley west of Cedar between Lorain away and Seventh Street. The recommended action is to conduct and close a public hearing, make a finding that the alley is not needed for public use and adopt the resolution for vacation of said alley. A summary of the actions up to this point for this vacation include general plan consistency finding on December 1st of 2016 and a notice of intent by the City Council on February 7th of 2017. This morning, staff received objections from surrounding property owners against objecting to the vacation. This alley vacations are applied for and supported by those surrounding typically by those surrounding properties. And so that's a little bit unusual and directly relevant to this situation. It is a significant change to the situation, and as such, the council can consider stopping the vacation from moving forward. With that, I'm available to answer any questions that you have. Okay. Okay. There's only any public comment on this saying none. We're going to go ahead. And because there's no public comment, will we have a motion in a second? And Councilman Gonzalez. Now, I just want to thank you, Sean. I know this was kind of a long process, but, you know, we'll we'll support your recommendation. Thank you. Okay, members, please cast your votes. I can't go to anyone. You heard me right down there. I don't have to move away. Do you have any staff here? No. No. You mean the mayor? Yes. Just some. I'm not sure if we took a vote on this, but I just want to make sure. The recommended action is to approve the vacation, and I'm not sure if that is what the intended motion is. I thought he. Said I think I would think what. Mr. Crumby said was basically council could consider not moving forward with the vacation, but the recommended action before the council is actually to approve it. So we would need a recommendation to receive and file for instance, would put it to bed and there would be no early vacation. So there was a travel up to Councilwoman Gonzales to want to make a motion. Yes, we'll make the motion to receive and filed the lawsuit. This item that Mr. Mays. Okay. Motions to receive and follow the item. Members, please. Gordon And there is no public comment on this. Okay, we're going to close the hearing. Members, please cast your votes. Thank you. My. He didn't go that. Motion. Because. Motion carries. And we're going to go ahead and move on to there still. Now the agenda meeting is can reset here. No play good here to have a comment. Yes, Larry. Good. You clear as the address and turning to something that's not too controversial, i.e., those things are going to what are going down in Washington, D.C. this week and well, for the next couple of weeks. But there is some good news.
