Call to order the meeting of our common council for Tuesday, May 19th. Recording in progress. Yes, thank your honor. We have twelve members in the room and twelve members voting in stick part. All right, thank you, Clerk. Please now rise for the Pledge of Allegiance and remain standing for invocation offered by Alder De Lee. I pledge of allegiance. As we near the end, as we near the close of the twenty five twenty-six school year, I'd like to take a moment to recognize something special. An entire community of students who showed up, put in work, grew, and pushed forward. From our youngest learners to those taking their next big step this year mattered. It shaped futures, built confidence, and created momentum. We also need to recognize the people who made that possible. To our teachers, support staff, and school leaders, thank you. Thank you for your dedication, your patience, and your relentless commitment to our kids. You don't just teach lessons, you create environments where students feel safe, supported, and valued. You are mentors, role models, problem solvers, and steady voices in moments that matter more than most people ever see. What you do goes far beyond academics, and our community is stronger because of you. Now, as we turn the page into summer, we welcome a different kind of energy. This is the season of ball fields and busy parks, of early mornings and late nights of kids chasing goals, friendships growing stronger, and families finding time to just be together. It's the sound of games, the feeling of fresh air, and the simple moments that end up meaning the most. We're actively building one. Here's to a safe, active, and memorable summer for our students, our families, and everyone who calls this community home. Thanks for sharing those words, Alder. Appreciate it. Next up is approval of the minutes. Motion to approve made by Alder Eck. Is there a second? Seconded by Alder Hinkfis. Uh any changes? Seeing none, all in favor say aye. Oppose nay. The ayes have it.

Uh Alder Eck has been there in the past. I know others have as well. And so just wanted to invite um the city council and all members of the public to join me at Admiral Flatley Park. I think things get going at four o'clock on Monday on Memorial Day. Uh so as you all know, it's not just a long weekend.
