We have new members today, and so um that is exciting. Welcome to all of the new members that we have. I will pull up our agenda and uh we can get going through it. And so uh call this meeting to order. And uh Marcy, can you please take a roll call? Mayor Morrison. Commissioner Bodie. Neil Cardwell. Here Commissioner Brown here. Do you know Leva?

Uh great Marcy, did you hear Mark Eggie's comment? Uh Commissioner Bodie is present. Yep, I saw that, so we have five out of seven. Okay, great. Thank you, Marcy. Just wanted to make sure on that. Um and so now it looks like Mayor Morrison is joined as well. Sorry, sorry, I'm a few minutes late. Mayor Morrison and Commissioner Bodie, we have seven out of seven. Great. Thank you, Marcy. Appreciate that. Next, we will move down to public comments. This is a time um for any item that is not on the agenda. Um for a matter that's falling within the scope of the MPO. Uh, there's also going to be time within conjunction of each item if you want members of the public would like to speak specifically about that individual item. And so now I will open it up for public comment. Marcy, are we seeing any requests for public comment? I'm showing no requests for public comment. Okay, great. Um, one more call. Any any requests for public comment? Still showing no requests. Wonderful. Thank you. Okay, and so now moving on to the agenda. The first item on the agenda is nomination or selection of a chair. The chair um runs uh the meetings and they keep everything in uh in order as we are going through the meeting. They may also sort of act as a representative of TPCC between meetings. Staff can reach out to them. So we are, and then the vice chair uh serves as the chair in the chair's absence. And so in this agenda item, we are asking for a chair who will take over running the meeting uh after they are nominated, and a vice chair to serve in the absence of the chair. Do we have any nominations for chair and vice chair? Mr.
