Yeah, that's probably what's that although we weren't too late for shallow spot now.

Oh, yeah.

All right, are you going to drive over the less smoky than it's been, but it's always been a back and forth between this really smoky and there's a thunderstorm, so yeah.

I can breathe, but it's ringing.

Right.

Yeah, that was us last week.

Yeah, that would be so do it.

Just do it.

I'll call to order the August nineteenth, twenty twenty six meeting of the Bozeman City Study Commission at four oh one PM.

If you're able, please rise for the pledge of allegiance and then a moment of silence.

Feel free to sit for the moment of silence.

But let's all rise if we can for the pledge of allegiance.

We do have someone online, but no hands raised right now.

Next on the agenda is the consent agenda.

Is there any public comment on the consent agenda?

It's the approval of the study commission minutes.

Seeing none.

Second.

All those in favor, so indicate by saying aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Motion carries 4-0.

Correspondence or study commission update.

Any comments.

I went to the um story under the stars on Saturday only to find out that it got canceled.

But I did hand out some uh palm cards to people who like me didn't know that it was canceled.

So and I I will say this on the events that I've been at, people have been um extremely receptive to the palm cards.

Often didn't know that this was going to be on the ballot, and um said they would look at it.

I think it's an important uh introduction at this point that we get the word out that there will be something on the ballot from us.

I also want to say that um I did not know that the report and the um amended charter were not up on the website, and I told probably uh 50 plus people on the two events that I went to that all they had to do was click on the QR code and they'd see it all, and um I want to formally apologize to those people if uh I caused them confusion.

My understanding is that it will be up on the website um by tomorrow or Friday.

Friday is probably safe.

Um, and I hope people will look again at that point.

Um I did after the fact try out the QR code on my phone, and it works.

Takes you right to where you want to be.

So that that part was really good.

Anything else under correspondence of study commission update.

Just a ditto uh Carson with uh a number of the events we were in parallel and also some new ones that I was able to just add um that aren't even on the um list yet.

But the e ho um celebration of life in the police park was a beautiful event, and people were very receptive there.

Um also I was at the business and professional women's meeting today, and people are so interested when they find out it exists that it will be on the ballot, and the palm cards are working so well to be able to hand out anywhere easily.

So we will continue on that and keep keep that uh list updated.

If people can add our commissioners uh who haven't added to that list would would do so.

I know most of you most of you have, but uh again send it directly to Nevin.

Um, and then we can all track each other's efforts, and I will be there for the rescheduled story under the stars next Saturday this coming Saturday with um our information.

Thanks.

Great, thank you.

Deanna?

Uh I would like just like to uh comment that um the palm cards uh uh will only be as useful and informative as the website uh that they're directed to becomes which of course it isn't now, and I made the same mistake uh uh Carson in handing them out and directing people to the cue card to find out uh what we had done and to prepare themselves for the November vote.

So uh the the palm card in itself is not going to do us anything, it's going to be what is on that website.

So I'm looking forward to seeing something useful there and very accessible on the fur front page.

Cool.

Thank you.

Can I just say that uh uh two things?

One is um it was decided against being uh me attending the cruising on main event, so I did not do that, so we can take that off.

And then I've um been talking to Mike.

Uh Mike uh correct me if if this is wrong, but uh Mike is gonna keep this spreadsheet updated for us from now on, and he'll send it out on a regular basis, and we can just reply right to Mike and say this is what's going on.

Um, I've confirmed all the details of the legal and voters uh event that they're holding for us to present at.

Um, and so I'll get all that information to Mike.

Uh Mike, is that correct?

You're gonna be managing the spreadsheet from now on?
