And as way as bad as way of background, first uh councilmember Mike Supina was elected to the Egan City Council originally in twenty twenty, beginning his first term in January of twenty one. So this will be m councilmember Sabina's second term on council. And Councilmember Fields uh began her first term in two thousand and one. This will be her seventh term on the Egan City Council. So at this point, Councilmember Supina, if you want to go down, I'll invite our city clerk Beth Manhus to come up and administer the oath of office.
