Item three, our implication and will be done today by Chaplain Jay Smith with Change Church in Duluth, Georgia. Would you please stand? And after that, we will do the pledge of allegiance to our flag. Good evening, Commissioners. Thank you so much for having me. Let's go before God in a word of prayer. Oh, Father. We come into your presence, Lord God, lifting up our hands without wrath or doubt. Father, in the name of Jesus, we stand before you lifting up and standing in the practice for first the state of Georgia. Your word says that we should pray for those who are in authority over us. So we pray first for our president, our vice president, our government, our governor, our mayor, and all elected and appointed officials. Father, we lift up our communities, our neighborhoods. Clayton County as a whole, and we decree and declare safety and protection over it. We decree and declare that there's no shortage or lack in Clayton County. Oh, Father, we declare that Clayton County operates as one. We progress, we thrive, we operate in a county that we're proud of and that the community is proud of. We thank you for that, Father. Father, we lift up the plans and the development and the agenda of this county. We pray for everyone involved. Oh God, I ask right now that you cover every commissioner and their family. May they have a hedge of protection around them, no hurt, harm, danger, incident, or accident to conclude their dwelling. I thank you right now, Father, they are covered through and by your blood. Oh God, we give you honor, we give you glory, and we give you praise. This day in the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Next we'll have our pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Amen. All right. Next, we will have the adoption of our agenda. Mr. Reed, will you please come up for any additions to the agenda? Good evening, uh, Madam Chair, my vice chair. I've got two items to be added or requested to be added to the agenda. First is resolution 2025 94, which is a resolution authorizing Clayton County to enter into a sublease agreement with the Clayton County Health District and positive impact health centers for the lease of space at 1117 Battle Creek Road. Um benefit in that regard. And the and the funding, we're not sure when it's going to happen, so the quicker we have somebody in space when it stops that there's no lapse in service. And the second uh for the taste of Fort Valley for uh 2025 95 is so uh because the event is scheduled to happen before the next board of uh commissioners meeting. So those the two reasons and the two agenda items. All right, at this time um I need a motion to adopt the agenda with the two additional items 2025-94 and 2025-95. So move.
