Anybody else have any discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor of the approval say aye. Aye. Opposed. The minutes have been approved. This evening, anybody in the public would like to comment on anything on the agenda this evening before we start our meeting? Uh before we get into any other uh items. Hearing none, we'll move on to our staff and member report. Is there a how do I do that? Um there an input button. Oh there's only three things on there, so I should probably be able to remember them, but um, so uh couple of things, it's probably more like announcements, but um we will be doing a fundraiser for uh the engine 25 initiative. So keep keeping engine 25 on track, and that's gonna be at the Butte Civic Center on August 16th. There's gonna be all kinds of things, vendors, food trucks, music, tons of fun crafts and stuff to look at. Um so that will be from 12 to 6, so that will be um you know, all proceeds going towards the restoration of the engine. Um I will be doing a hike through history uh at the West Side Reservoir on August 28th. Thank you, Sean Frederickson. Uh he was the one that put me on the hook for that. Um, but it's it's interesting. I think it'll probably be mostly about the water system in general. Um and actually I just found out, so it's not up here that the day before that. Um our migrant coordinator, uh Kira Ryan will be doing the brown bag at the um at the archives. Um so that will be that Wednesday at noon. She has written a book about Henry Seabin, the Steven Ranch. So she will be giving a talk if and you should all come and support her. Uh and I had I just wanted to put out there for all of you. My folks are coming into town actually at the end of the month, and I was hoping that I could possibly move the meeting in September back to the 9th instead of the first Tuesday. So if that works for everyone, that would be that would be great. Um that is that's it for my for that report. Uh any questions for Kate on this uh report? The Brown Bragg lunch that is on what is the date on that one? So um what did I say it's you said it's a wedding 28th?
