Good evening, everyone. This is Tuesday, April 15th, 2025. It's five thirty PM. We're here for a regular skilled council meeting. We call this meeting to order. Could I get a roll call, please? All council members are present. Thank you. We're gonna start with the invocation from Pastor Bill Jones from Bethel Community Church. If you'd like to join us, please stand. Good evening, Mr. Mayor and Council members and staff and attendees. Would you please pray with me? Most gracious Father, we thank you for your presence here this afternoon, and we ask, Father, for your blessings to be up on this body. Father, as our city leaders prepare to respond to the needs and to the request of the city, we just pray for our city to continually prosper and to be well kept. We ask Father for guidance, understanding, and wisdom as they deal with the city business. And Father, we pray that as we embark upon the summer holidays, that we would remain or maintain a good safe and blessed city. We ask your presence to be up on us as we go from here, and we thank you, Father, for your blessings and for your presence in this bloody in the name of Jesus. Amen. Please follow me in the pledge. Please be seated. All right, we have a proclamation to give out National Lineman's Day, if I could get uh people from MEC up here. And whereas linemen are often first responders during storms and other catastrophic events, working to make the scene safe for other public safety heroes. And whereas linemen must work at h work high atop power lines twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, oftentimes in inclimate weather to keep electricity flowing. And whereas the linemen must also often work under dangerous conditions, separated from their families to keep schools and businesses open. Now, therefore, I Steve Diamico, mayor of Bullhead City, do hereby proclaim Friday, April eighteenth, twenty twenty-five as National Linemen's Appreciation Day. All right, call the public. If you have a group with four or more people with you, let us know. You get five minutes of your individual, you get three minutes. With that being said, who would like to come up first?
