>> actually, we're pulling that one, judge. We did what we were supposed to do on 49.
>> 49 we pulled. And 50 --
>> 50 we pulled.
>> my staff may want to leave that item on until noon Thursday if you don't hear from them?
>> that's a mental note that I have.
>> we need to hear back, right? So from my perspective, we pull 49 and pull 50 until further notice. And on 51, we didn't discuss that and I don't think we need to take any formal action, but a subcommittee of Commissioners Gomez and Sonleitner have follow-up work for us to do. We'll have this item back on the agenda next week in the event that there is further discussion and action. And that does it for business today.
>> move adjourn.
>> second.
>> all in favor? That passes by unanimous vote.
