Require that the um commission members that are present will sort of make an informal decision or ad hoc decision on uh a chair to run the meeting tonight.

It's my understanding that Miss Saler has sort of volunteered herself to do that.

So if we could get a quick uh vote of the commission members if if they are all in favor of Ms.

Sauer being the chairman or serving as a chairman tonight, if you would all just say yes, we can then begin.

Yes.

Yep.

Yes, decision on uh a chair to run the meeting tonight.

It's my understanding that Ms.

Sauer has sort of volunteered herself to do that.

So if we could get a quick so I think someone must have their microphone on and be watching on TV, so everybody should mute their microphones if they're they're not speaking.

And then Miss Sal, I guess that is your go ahead to go ahead and read the preamble and get us started for the evening.

All right, wonderful.

Thank you.

All right, here we go.
