Good evening, everyone. Good evening. All right. The Clayton County Board of Commissioners regular business meeting is now called to order.

Next, we will move on until I to our invocation and pledge of allegiance to our flag. Our invocation tonight will be given by Pastor Davita Parnell of the First Baptist Church in Morro, Georgia, in his first Baptist Church Morrow. She will come forward to deliver the invocation, and thereafter we will all we will stand for the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Will you please stand for the invocation and the flag and the pledge? Thank you. Let's pray. God, in the quiet of these moments. And we come into your presence and we leave in your presence. And so tonight we ask that everything that we do and all that we say and that the attitude that we engage in conversation and the intent of our hearts be pleasing to you. God, we come from busy places. We've got things on our shoulders and in our minds and our hearts that are hard to put down sometimes. And so as we come tonight, we ask that as we do this business that you remind us of why we do it. And we do it because we want to seek what is best for all. God may we approach this work from common ground, from a place of listening and learning and true curiosity. And God may we see this time of engaging and of accountability as one done in your presence, recognizing your presence in one another. God, we know to be a servant, to be a person is to sacrifice something. And so tonight may we all come knowing that in order to gain there's always loss. But God, we ultimately ask that the gains be for your glory and your honor and your praise. Amen. Thank you, Messie. 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. Thank you. And thank you, uh Pastor Farnell. Next, we will move on to the adoption of our agenda board members. Are there any items that you would like to move to the regular agenda? Yes. Commissioner Hambrick.
