Good afternoon and thank you for joining us. Today is January 25th, 2021. The time is 3.05 and this is a meeting for the Zoning Board of Adjustments. We do have a quorum, so I'd like to call this meeting to order. And the first item on our agenda is a Pledge of Allegiance to both the United States and the Texas flag. Is there a flag that displays on the screen, Ron? There is not. Okay, so imagine a flag in your head. Okay. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance to the Texas one state, under God, one indivisible. Thank you. The second item on the agenda is considering the approval of the December 14th, 2020 minutes. I have a motion to approve the minutes. You will have to unmute yourself if you would like to make that motion. I have a question. Yeah, go ahead.

So I just wanted to note that that was the special exemption request that that's why it was approved. That's why I motion to approve it. So I just wanted to make sure that it didn't need to refer to this special exemption and that portion. Okay. So I just wanted to make sure that it didn't refer to this special exemption. Okay.
