I thought I heard Michelle on it. And thus concludes our meeting. Okay. As soon as we can't, it's like clockwork, it's amazing. We're happy birthday? Happy Thursday. Oh, I was like, it's not a birthday, but I appreciate that. No, it's really cold out, so it's like the frost of the snowman thing. Happy birthday. Did I recently rewatch or like oh didn't we rewatch the claymation old like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph? The clay one. Do you know the elf didn't want to be a dentist? Yeah. That's what he wanted to do. Doesn't everyone want to be? I must five. Seems like a weird choice. No, it's today. Okay. I think that's fine. All right. Are we live? Yes. Excellent. Um good evening and welcome to the April 24th, 2025 Social Service Human Relations Board meeting. Um this meeting is being recorded.

Second, under each agenda item, there will be an opportunity for public comment on that specific item. Each item calls a format similar to city council meetings. First, after presentation, we will ask if there are any clarifying questions from Shrub members for staff. Second, we will ask if there are any public comments on this agenda item. And third, after public comment, we will open the item up for board discussion and a vote if recommended.
