Good evening and welcome. Today is Tuesday, November fourth, two thousand twenty-five. The time is five thirty PM, and this is a regular meeting of the Bullhead City Council. Can I get a roll call, please? All council members are present. Thank you. Our invitation tonight will be led by Pastor Craig Evans of Trinity Baptist Church. If you would like to join us and are able, please stand. Lord, I'm thankful for the opportunity to be here to remember those who have served and are retiring. We're thankful for their service. Uh, to those folks, and we're thankful that you have given them the opportunity to do that. Be with us as we uh go through this meeting. I pray for the public comment that it would be respectful and excellent and helpful, and everything that goes on in this meeting would be a blessing and a good example of our community. We pray this in Jesus' name, amen. Please remain standing for the presentation of the colors. And uh let's give a big round of applause to Junior O TC today. Thank you. Please be seated. Thank you again for everybody that's here with us this evening. If you are following along on the agenda, uh we have made a slight modification, and uh I'd like to take just a moment, starting off by asking my good friend Hildi Angus, our senator, to come up here with me, please. So many of you know Hilde and have known Hildi for a long time, as have I, and I will tell you this as the mayor of Bullhead City and and uh former councilman and former police chief here. I will tell you nobody supports the cities in Arizona any better than our senator. We are absolutely delegation that we have in Phoenix, these people fight for us every day. Hilde puts a lot of effort into things that many of us don't think of, but she finds a way to not help out everybody, but really to help out Bullhead City as much as she possibly can. For those of you that haven't been following along with what's gone on this year in the legislative session, she managed to get us about a million and a half dollars in the budget to work on Hancock Road, and we all know that we need that. She also uh was able to find a million dollars to help us with a trance fur line for our water system so that we can maintain water at all times when something happens to one or the other of one of our main water tanks. Her dedication to just doing the right thing and to helping, you know, to helping the communities that she represents and the county areas she represents and the whole state. You just can't, you just couldn't ask for much more out of a senator who comes and and visits with us and looks for things to help us out. So my thanks to you, Hilday. Um would you like to say anything? Yeah. Well, it's no secret that I love Bullhead City. This the city has been so good to me from the minute I walked into the Republican women's club. The city has adopted me, nurtured me, supported me in everything that I have done, and I should be the one thanking you. I couldn't have done the things that the mayor spoke about without my colleague and mentor Leo Biasuchi, who's here today. Uh, you know, uh, when I this was my first term, and there are things I don't know, but being the seasoned politician that he is, he he guided us along, and the reason that we got as much money as we did, not just for Bullhead City, but for Lake Havisu and Kingman, is because of the teamwork that we had with uh Representative and Representative Gillette, who unfortunately I don't think he's here tonight, but uh, I couldn't I couldn't have done it without the great team that we have, and I'll tell you that there's a lot of districts down there that are jealous of us because they don't work together, but we do. They know we're the big red wall, they know that we are as Republican as Republican can be, and that we work together, and that's just the key. That's really the secret to getting things done, is having a great team and working together. So thank you very much. Thank you. So just as a little token to uh to our senator, you notice we have the nice bull and no bulls complete without a stand. And on this stand it says, presented with heartfelt appreciation to Hilda Angus, Arizona House of Representatives, Bullhead City Infrastructure Champion. I didn't spell anything. But somebody's in trouble. So all right, so I was going to say I'll give this back to Travis so he can box it up. So I was going to say I'll give this back to Travis so he can box it up. Okay. I'll give it back to Travis so he can fix it. And you stay right here with me and and we'll move on to uh it's it's okay, just don't call me late for dinner as well. There you go.
