Apparently, she has become very important. Um, and we are we have a new city attorney, Nick Dumais, who we appreciate his efforts, but I just wanted to thank MISS Walters for all of the work and the support that she s given to the hdc.

Yes. Okay. Good evening. Rockville. Today is Wednesday, September 9th, 2026. This is meeting number 1026 of the City of Rockville Planning Commission. I am Monson, chair of the Planning Commission. Tonight's meeting is being conducted virtually only by WebEx. I'm joined online by Commissioner Jepson. Eric Fulton and Danny Espinosa. Commissioner Susan Pittman and Shannon Salahuddin can now join us tonight. Tonight's agenda includes one consent agenda, one review and recommendation to the mayor and council, and then we'll be followed by our regular scheduled commission items. Before we proceed, any commissioners have any questions or thoughts? Okay. Hearing none. Let's proceed. Today's first agenda item is the consent agenda request for private. Any name assignment associated with approved redevelopment at 59064 Pine Road. So a consent agenda doesn't have a discussion prior to this meeting. After the agenda is posted. The applicant has suggested that alternative name as a second option. Therefore, the Commission needs to discuss and make a decision based on the rules and procedure. One member of the Commission needs to make a request to remove this item from consent agenda, so we can proceed as a regular agenda. Can any fellow commissioners make this request? I request that being removed from the regular agenda. Okay, I think now this agenda is regular agenda number one. So, Mr. Westlake, can we proceed as regular agenda? No. Uh, yes. Thanks.
