Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight is the regular council meeting, Bullhead City Council. Today's Tuesday, April 7th, 530 PM. And can I have a roll call, please? All council members are present. Thank you very much. Now we're going to have an invocation from Pastor Earl Johnson from the Spirit Life Church. Can you all stand, please? Let's pray. Lord, we just want to give you thanks tonight for this beautiful city that we have an opportunity to live in. Father, that you would help them to come to unity in every difficult situation. And Lord, give them leading and guidance as they think about the future of this city. And we ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Ready? Now before we start. Larry, we have some presentations to be to be made. I'm with the Bullhead City Morning Cawanas Club. With me are members of our Board of Directors and our Cawanas Kids Expo Committee. Other partners that are in kind include Western Arizona Regional Medical Center for a full pallet of ice of bottled water. Mather Brothers for a full pallet of ice to keep the water nice and cold and free for everyone all day. Also, City Graphics Daniel Subject Services, Republic Services, Wiener Sitzel, Court Distributing, Mountain View Homes, Keller Williams, River Rock, Signs and Promotions, and the Laughlin Volunteers and Partnership. This was our eighth year. And about 10 years ago, we formed a committee out of our Kowanas Club to address projects and raising money. Hence the Cowanas Kids Expo was created. I was asked to chair the committee. My first meeting was with City Manager Toby Cotter. I presented the idea and received full support from Toby. Little did he know he was involved in his parks and recreation director, uh Dave Heath, uh also for the park parade permit, park permit, and then uh the parks team with Kevin and the roads team with Angie and our club would like to say thank you to each and everyone for their support and just mention we live in a great city. Thank you, Toby. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Over the years, we've purchased 75 easy ups. With our incredible unpredictable wins, we also purchase 121 gallon buckets to fill with water to keep them on the ground on train road. Our utilities division shows up at 6 a.m. on the morning and fills each bucket with water. This is priceless. This year we still lost three easy ups. Thank you, Mark Clark. And finally, and Jason's been here long enough to remember our probably our first parade permit because when you shut down a city street, you have to get permission to do that, especially for 10 hours like train road. Not only do they provide us with a permit, but their community policing unit, the public relations unit bring out the SWAT gear, the SWAT truck, motorcycles, bomb robot, patrol units, and off-road patrol units. They display the best. Thank you, Deputy Chief Jason Harms. And finally, I'd like to thank some individuals that came that day to understand what all the booths are about and can spread the words in our town. Our elected officials Hilda Angus, our senator, Rich Lettman, our Mojave County Supervisor, Linda and Dave, or excuse me, Linda and Dan, our vice mayor, and then also Rod and Cindy. Thank you all very much. Thank you very much.
