Congratulations to the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Okay, we don't have any registered comments. Uh so we'll go to finance and legal committee. Thank you. Uh three items up for tonight. Uh first is uh granted encoder update for 2026. Uh Grandis encoder, of course, is the uh hardware uh setup that we use for uh uh broadcasting our meetings. Um I assume the our current agreement is set to expire. It is, yes. But um I remember we had this discussion is could we pay for it next year? And they went back and they said yes, but they would install it this year. So I just wanted to confirm that that was what the path we wanted to go, which is get the installation started so that we can be on get on their schedule and then um just have it for a budget for next year. Okay. And that just the setup would be the one time fee of the 5247. Yes, sir. Okay. Sounds good. Sound fine to me. Questions? All right. Let's move on. That was easy. Okay. Uh next time up uh 2026 budget capital request discussion. I I thought it would be a good idea just to maybe uh continue this from our prior meeting. Uh there are some topics uh that we kind of left alone. Uh especially the fact that we're coming into uh budget season uh and the budget meetings start in the month of September. Um so if anyone had any additional uh requests or projects that they had in mind uh for 2026. Uh well, I I just want to touch on a couple items. I was wondering if we could continue the discussion where we started last month with the um bathroom facilities down at Dormont Park. I wasn't sure if we had an update on uh that and what we were able to do if we were able to tackle everything at once or where we stood there. As far as um yeah, we we've reached out, uh believe Melinda was sent last week, uh the winning GETF uh grant application that I submitted in Jefferson. So we have that available to us. Um the question is is does council want to renovate the potmurray bathrooms or try to build new bathrooms up the hill. Is
