Moving on. Commissioner announcements or agenda amendments. I have a couple. First, I want to say happy Labor Day to our city employees over the weekend, especially our park and rec team, because they're awesome and did great at all of our events that we've been having all summer long. I also want to thank the community members that joined us for the cleanup with a commissioner day in August. That was super fun. We met a lot of new Belmont residents, which was really cool. Six plus bags of trash, which was awesome to remove from our corridor. And then I also want to just shout out the made out of dough. I attended with Mayor Mates over the weekend. They're opening on Oak County, just a walk away from our Alexander Park. You can now grab your cinnamon roll, walk to the park, hang out. So we're super excited about that. So yeah, thank you. Excellent. And then happy to say the Salston Trail is being restored. There's heavy equipment, hard at work, so very, very happy about that. And then there's AYSO opening day Saturday, which everyone's welcome to come see. It's uh it will be a wonder for everyone to see how five-year-olds and this year in a breakthrough under four. Work in a march. I know. We've got 20 under 20 under fours that will attempt to march. It will be a treat. A treat is a word for it. It'll be fun. Yes. Okay. Item number five, the consent calendar. Um, consent calendar items are considered routine in nature and will be enacted in one motion.
