Councilmember place to Scott Smith.

Councilmember place three, Andrew Chase.

Councilmember place for Ken Oldman.

Here.

Councilmember place five more deal.

Here.

Mayor certified the presence of a quantum.

Thank you.

All right, we're gonna move on to public comments.

It's time we set aside on the agenda to allow residents to address council on an item not on the agenda this evening.

I do have two public comment forms.

Uh the first will be Michael Padilla.

Good evening, Council members.

Michael Padilla, 323 Apache Trail.

I'd like to start off by saying congratulations to Mr.

Scott Bradley on his re-election to mayor.

Congratulations to Mr.

Kevin Kelly and Mrs.

Debbie Ison on being elected to City Council.

And I also wish to extend my thanks to Mr.

Andrew Chase and Mrs.

Laura Deal for their many years of public service to the citizens of Murphy.

Last but not least, I certainly wish to say thank you to every American citizen in Murphy who voted during early voting by mail and on election day.

Your vote is an exercise in political power and governance.

Thank you.

I like to talk about the perfect balance.

Imagine a straight line sitting on top of a fulcrum.

On the right on the left-hand side is tyranny, and on the right hand side is anarchy.

And right in the middle is the U.S.

Constitution.

Our founding fathers, when writing the document were inspired by Judeo-Christian values, the tenets of capitalism, and the existing governments at the time.

They created a political foundation that is the perfect balance between individual rights and government.

That's government with a small G.

Remember that.

I say this because I'm opposed to any other form of government, governance, such as communism, socialism, or Islam.

So how do we move forward with our perfect balance?

Well, we must be unapologetic unapologetically American and Texan.

We must choose to defend our Judeo-Christian values, our Western civilization, and our American way of life.

This has been my consistent message for many, many weeks.

Yes, we do welcome all those who wish to become Americans and assimilate into our culture, just as I would be to expect it to assimilate if I moved to a foreign land.

Sixty percent of the electorate provided a mandate to those who govern.

Remember, the perfect balance between individual rights and government.

Thank you.

Thank you.

James and Debbie uh Debbie uh Brumit.

Rummit?

Rummit.

I'm Debbie Grant.

This is my husband James.

We're at 423 Rocky Glenn Circle.

Last week we attended the zoning and planning commission meeting.

Our neighbor at 424 Rocky Glenn Circle wants to put a metal building within five feet of our fence, as opposed to the 10 feet in the ordinance.

The fire marshal requested it be 10 feet, but they approved it 5 to 2.

And I'm not real happy about that.

We don't have fence right now.

We're in the process of selling some property at Canton.

Then we're going to put a fence in.

The fence has fallen down.

And so we just took it down.

And it was before they moved in.

And I told the planning and zoning, we had no idea no interest in putting a fence up.

But we are.

It's just been a matter of money until now.

So I just want to anything you want to say.

We need uh we need to go by the survey.

And we've yet to find a survey in my backyard to see exactly where my property line is.

We can't get to the pen because he's got stuff piled on it.

So we can't get to the pen.

I mean, he may be closer than five feet, you know, the way it looks now.

But I don't know.

I asked myself to other people, would you want this in your backyard?

And I know it's going to be a nice building.

I know it's going, it's a garage.

And he works on cars.

And during the night, about 9 30 at night, won, won, won.

You know, it gets old.

You know, he doesn't think anything about it, but I do.

You know, and you know, I I really don't have a problem with the cars, but we have an ordinance, and and we're we're not abiding by the order.

Uh ordinance is a law.

Yeah.

Is a city law.

And and we're cutting him some slack, you know.

And I and what's that gonna do to my property?

That that's my property value.

You know.

Uh someday I may want to sell.

So, you know, I don't know.

We only had a week and a half's notice.

We didn't have time to get a survey because you've got to get on waiting lists or months behind.

So I don't know.

The survey is like $611.

And I don't feel like I have to pay for it, but I will if if need be, if if that's what it means, you know.

Uh thank you.

All right, thank y'all.

Thank you.

Very good.

Anyone else like to address counsel on item tonight?

Thank you.

Okay.

Well, I'm Mary Pat Elage.

I live at 150 Shelby Trace.

And I'm uh in Heron Murphy.

And I came for some good news tonight.

Um, our Murphy Veterans Tribute is almost finished.

And we are so excited about this.

It's looking good.

It's looking good.

Yeah, it's looking really good.

And we're very excited, and um I've uh I hope you have an invitation in front of you.

And I'd like to share some invitations with some of you here.

But uh we're going to have our ribbon cutting and our dedication service on May 27th, just about three weeks from now.

It's gonna be at 1130 and um 11.30 sharp down at the site.

And um in the next three weeks, we're gonna have our our uh beautiful statue and some of the other elements, but if you haven't been to the site, I invite you to to go there.

It's just east of the big flags here, just look east.

So we're so excited about this.

We have some flyers here to hand out, and um we wanted a special invitation today for the council to come, city manager, mayor, and all those who are here today and be looking for on your Facebook pages, and I think it's on the um city website now.

So thank you so much for all of you who have supported this through these years.

We're really excited and we hope that uh we'll see all of you at the groundbreaking.

Thank you.

Okay, and that is uh is Wednesday the 27th at 1130.

Okay, so anybody's wondering.

Anyone else want to address council on it?

I'm not on the agenda tonight.

Seeing none, I have nothing for mayor's report.

Anyone have anything for mayor's report tonight?

Right?

Nothing.

Presentations item 6A proclamation, National Police Week.

Um Scott.

Thank you.

What a great showing tonight.

Appreciate you all being here tonight.

Let me read this proclamation.

Uh, whereas in every American community, law enforcement officers are committed to the preservation of life, property, risking their own lives to protect us who who protect us from those who mock the law, providing protection, law and order, and serving the cause of justice.

And whereas law enforcement officers, including members of the Murphy Police Department, accept a profound responsibility and work to uphold our laws, safeguard our rights and freedoms, and serve on the front lines in the fight against crime and terrorism.

And whereas we honor the heroism of our law enforcement officers, especially those who have given their lives so that others might live, asking God's blessings upon the families and friends they leave behind.

Whereas by joint resolution approved October the first, nineteen sixty-two, as amended Congress authorized President Kennedy to proclaim May fifteenth of each year Peace Officer Memorial Day in honor of local, state, and federal officers who have been killed or disabled in the line of duty, further designating the calendar week in which May fifteenth falls on police week and directing that flags be flown at half staff on police officers memorial day, and whereas across the nation, police week is observed with ceremonies including the wearing or displaying of blue ribbons to honor law enforcement officers who have sacrificed their lives in a lot of duty and those who strive to keep us safe.

So now there is Oscott Smith, on behalf of Scott Bradley and the City Council do hereby proclaim May 10th through 16th, 2026 as National Police Week.

Good evening, Marin, Council from the Murphy Police Department.

We are certainly grateful for you recognizing this proclamation.

And we felt it was important to also do something a little different tonight.

You'll see some young men and women that have joined us, and this is our police cadet program, a program designed to educate young men and women to enter into the noble profession of law enforcement.

And they are just as important to hear the emphasis that we place on this noble career.

So thank you.

You can stand in front of us.

Whereas these infrastructures, facilities, and services cannot be provided without the dedicated efforts of public workers, public works professionals.

Engineers, managers, and employees from state and local governments and the private sector who are responsible for rebuilding, improving, and protecting our nation's transportation, water supply, water treatment, and solid waste systems, public meetings, and other structures and facilities essential for our citizens.

And whereas it is in the public interest for the citizens, civic leaders, and children in Murphy to gain knowledge of and maintain a progressive interest and understanding of the importance of public works and public works programs in their communities.

And whereas Public Works connects us all, whether through infrastructure or first responder services, and public works professionals continually enhance the life in the communities they serve.

And whereas the year 2026 marks the 66th annual National Public Works Week, sponsored by the American Public Works Association.

Now therefore, be it resolved that I ordeal on behalf of Scott Bradley, the mayor of the City of Murphy, and on behalf of the entire city council to hereby designate the week of May 15th through 21st, 2026 as National Public Works Week.

I urge the citizens in Murphy to join with representatives of the American Public Works Association and government agencies in activities, events, and ceremonies designed to pay tribute to our public works professionals, engineers, managers, and employees, and to recognize the substantial contributions they make to protecting our nation's health, safety, and quality of life.

Thanks.

Mayor and members of council, thank you very much for honoring us with this proclamation.

It means a great deal to us and to the gentlemen that are up here with us right now.

I appreciate your services you've given us.

This is truly a calling to service to uh to do the type of work that these guys do.

It's uh hazardous conditions, it's dangerous conditions, and uh y'all put yourselves out there every day, and and I greatly appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

Thank you guys.

Since I took a moment to make a comment, since I took a moment to make a comment uh to the police chief uh about the fantastic young kids.

I wanted to say that that uh public works has the best facial hair in the entire organization.

It is that is an impressive presentation of facial hero.

All right, moving on.

Item seven, city manager staff reports.

All right, Mayor and Council, just a couple of updates tonight.

to 8 p.m.

We are limited on spots.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right, moving it on item eight, consent agenda.

All consent agenda items are considered to be routine by the city council, be enacted by one motion.

There will be no separate discussion of those items unless a council member so requests in which event the item will be removed from the consent agenda and voted on separately.

Would anyone like to remove an item from the consent agenda at this time?

I do.

Uh which one?

I want to remove C.

Item C.

Anyone else?

D.

And B.

D.

Oh, and D.

C and D.

C B and C together.

All right.

I'll take a motion on items A, B, A, and B.

And E and F.

Yes.

A, B, E and F.

Uh move that we approve the consent agenda for items A, E, and F.

And B.

And A, B, E and F.

I have a motion to approve consent items A, B, E, and F.

And a second.

All those in favor?

I.

Any opposed.

Motion passes unanimously.

Item 8 C consider and/or act on a resolution designating the authorized official program director and financial director for fiscal year 2027.

SB 2024 catalytic converter grant program.

Chief.

Good evening again.

This this resolution is specific to giving us approval to undergo the process of entering into a FY27 grants through the catalytic converter program, which will be specifically used to fund our current flock cameras in use now.

Okay.

Perfect.

So I was reading through it.

So our city costs will be the 3,000, right?

Annually, and that's coming from the special investigative fund.

Yes, ma'am.

That's a good question.

All right.

And so what are our current theft trends in Murphy for these catalytic converter thefts?

Like do we have like an uprise or an uptick in this, or is this just something that we're just putting in place because we're relying on other cities right now to provide that service for us?

It's a proactive measure.

Okay.

Our thefts are incredibly low, and we intend to keep them that way.

Okay.

And then where would the cameras be placed?

They're not moving from the current locations right now.

All right.

And then are these like real-time cameras versus after the fact, like how are we covering this, or who actually monitors it?

Okay, so we uh obviously there's been some controversy with the flock program itself.

So I'm going to give you a uh uh a pathway that we have implemented to safeguard us here in the city of Murphy.

Previously, any member that any uh participant in the flock program could have access to our cameras.

We have now limited that to only to the state of Texas.

So we have significantly reduced any type of potential problems that could result in hacking, if you will, which was one of the uh previous problems.

Right.

And we have been very successful with doing that.

Currently, our administrative lieutenant runs a 30-day audit process.

You can't look at our flock cameras if you're a sworn officer unless you have a case number.

You have to have a specific reason to do that.

And that is that is viewed through that 30-day audit.

And we have had absolutely no issues at all with the checks and balances that we have implemented internally versus any type of external issues as well.

Okay, perfect, because I was wondering who was managing, monitoring it, what type of audit were we having, who had access to it.

Okay, and I think something else that's very, very important is our participation in this process where we gain the greatest amount of value is access to the camera systems throughout the state more so than just in our our city.

Okay, and that's incredibly important.

We lose that component should we make the decision to deactivate those cameras.

Okay.

And there are there any other compliance reporting requirements that we have to abide by?

We actually go above and beyond for for compliance as mentioned in our internal process that we have we have implemented.

Okay.

And then how often were we relying on other agencies cameras?

That that is a very challenging answer.

Um our crime is low.

We intend to keep it low.

Again, this is another proactive measure that is identified if we look at SafeWise Cities.

Why are we the sixth safest city?

Because we put a lot of significant influence into proactive, proactive measures.

So the answer to your question is I can't give you an answer.

Yeah, okay.

All right.

And then um, how will our your success be communicated to the public?

Like metrics, are they gonna see that like on the website of who is like or your inventory of like your performance, reports, transparency of how that program is going?

So to clarify, your question is are we showing the the results of apprehended suspects and or how the the cameras have involved themselves in criminal activity?

So we do an end-of-year report, uh an annual annual report.

And it is my opinion that that is the best place to put that data in analytics.

Okay.

Our numbers are very low, very low.

Okay, and then how often will council receive updates like we can do that?

Often as you would like.

Okay.

I can do it quarterly.

We can do it on our quarterly stats.

Okay.

I will follow whatever direction you get.

Okay.

So that's all that I have.

You know, it's low upfront costs, you know, for us, and then it's proven because it's been used by other agencies and it's a proactive.

So I just wanted just more information about what it was.

Yes, ma'am.

All right.

Thank you.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

Any other questions on that?

I guess that was the only one with all the 500 questions, huh?

Sorry.

No, you're fine.

All right.

Well, I move that we approve the resolution designating the authorized official program director and financial officer for the FY2027 SB 224 catalytic converter grant program.

That's just C.

We're going to D.

Motion pass to unanimously.

Item 8D.

Consider under act on an ordinance amending the FY26 general and ARPA funds to adjust budgeted transfers and to increase the budget for unanticipated expenses.

Good evening, Mayor.

Good evening, Council.

This was brought forth to me to try to come up with the funding associated with the reorganization.

The um area where the Chamber of Commerce was.

And so it was using the ARP funds.

The ARP funds are the interest that it was being held in the ARP funds waiting for the project to be finished.

Now that has been closed out.

And so now we're ready to use utilize those funds.

It was originally set as a transfer into 26 for the full amount.

And there had been some discussions with other things we might use those ARP funds for, which will come forward to you with with some future changes and some direction on that as well.

But tonight we wanted to just take the $37,000 from the ARP fund transfers and transfer it to the line item for capital outlay and facilities so that they'd be able to move forward with the $67,000 modification on general on City Hall 41.

Okay.

We're we're taking money.

They're doing a transfer also from their line item.

So it's coming from facilities and then it's going into the capital outlays, so we'll have it in one particular location.

Okay.

So it's just not new spending, but just reprioritizing.

Okay.

The existing resources.

Okay.

And then what specifically are those modifications going to be?

We're so it's hard to get into that.

Facilities is working with a contractor.

This is really if you if you're familiar with that space right now, it's kind of a garage door type style.

So because it will be an interface directly from public to an employee, we need to have a safety glass there.

So those are some of the things, and then new furniture, a different counter, so that they really can use it for a public-facing space.

Okay.

And then that'll come back to us whenever you guys are ready with.

That won't.

That won't.

No, the design on that on that space will not come back to council.

Generally, from the policy perspective, you all are going to tell us whether or not you agree as a policy measure that we use the money this way, but we won't bring back the design.

Okay.

And so hopefully just one-time costs is what we're anticipating with this.

This is the this is the one-time cost just to modify that space for use.

Okay.

And then do we have any controls in place to just prevent any cost overruns?

Well, the if if it if the cost goes up, we'll have to do either a budget transfer or another budget amendment.

Okay.

But based on quotes, this is the price that facilities feel is appropriate.

Okay.

All right.

Thank you, Brandon.

Any other questions?

All right.

I'll take a motion.

All right.

I'll move that we approve um consent agenda item D as presented.

I have a motion second.

All in favor?

Any opposed?

Motion passed unanimously.

Thank you.

Item 9A, hold a public hearing and consider and or act on the application of Westwood PS to approve a replat of lot 3A block 1 McQuery Marketplace.

And this is a public hearing.

Jerry.

Good afternoon or good evening, Mayor and Council.

As you just mentioned, this is a public hearing to consider a replat.

This is for the HEB property known as lot 3R1, Block 1, McCree Marketplace.

They're at the south uh west corner of McCurry Road and FM 544.

I believe they'll pull up a copy of the plat.

Uh it's really fairly simple.

It is because it is a replat and removing and uh existing easements around on the site, state law requires that it uh be a public hearing, otherwise this would normally be under your consent within the items.

You're happy to answer any questions you have.

I have a question.

Yes, sir.

So on the review summary, item number four says to provide a pedestrian access easement along the western border of the site in conformance with conditions of the approved site plan.

Mr.

So does that does that mean there's enough room for like a future trail to go through there?

Is that what that means, or does that work?

That is what that's related to.

So there's a so hopefully in the next couple of meetings we'll have the development agreement that is between us and HEB uh and it goes into the detail uh about that specific easement, the pedestrian easement.

Uh that was something that was discussed when we were doing the zoning for HB was uh believe that was the desire of council was to try to accommodate that.

It's going to be a little bit of a challenge.

It's not there are places where only six foot foot fits.

So whether we'll actually choose to use that in the future for uh expanding the trial, but that that'll be up to you all.

But yes, that's what that's related to.

Um but more details of that will be in that development agreement.

Um and once that's all finalized, that development agreement also needs to be in place before we file this flat.

So there's still some couple of moving pieces and parts to this.

Great.

Thank you for answering that.

That's the only question for you.

Right.

Very good.

So uh any other questions before I open the public hearing.

Any public hearing on this time is 6.23.

6.

632.

Would anyone like to address counsel on this item?

Seeing none, I'll to close the the public hearing at 632.

Any discussion on the from the diet.

No.

No.

I'll take a motion.

May I move that we approve the application of Westwood PS uh to replat lot three R block one, McCreary Marketplace.

Second.

I have a motion second, all in favor.

Aye.

Any opposed.

Motion passed unanimously.

Item B, consider indoor act on a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a construction contract with Niam LLC to construct the FY uh 2026 sidewalk replacement project for their low bid of 279,446 and three cents.

Uh, and approve a change order to increase the approved amount by 69,861 dollars and fifty-one cents.

Total 25% for a total construction cost of 349,307.

All right.

Good evening again.

I mean linear feet is that.

That's gotta be a lot.

What's that?

How many linear feet of sidewalk is?

Three.

I don't have the linear footage in front of me right now, but the square yardage yardage is two thousand two hundred and seventy-five.

So it is it is quite a bit, quite a bit.

And this resolution is just a little bit different than than some you'd see before you for a construction contract, and that it's it's really two-fold.

Uh VM had a very favorable bid of the uh 279,446 and three cents, uh, which we are asking you to approve.

We recommend that you approve that.

However, it also left some room in our budget to um to expand this contract.

Uh by state law, we're allowed to uh expand by up to 25% without taking it back out for bid.

So we're also asking you to consider uh approving a change order that we will add to this, which would uh add about uh I just lost it this I'm sorry.

69,861 dollars and fifty-one cents, uh which would be about five hundred and sixty-nine additional five hundred and sixty-nine square feet and allow us to complete approximately another 41 locations.

Um again, these bids came in very favorable.

I think we were all surprised how well they came in.

The uh engineer record BHC has done their due diligence and vetted this uh contractor very heavily to make sure that they could uh to do this work and all their references came back uh exceptional.

So uh as I mentioned, we are recommending that uh our staff recommends approval.

Happy to answer any questions you might have.

Um how did we come up with the 41 locations?

How were those prioritized?

So the 41 locations haven't really been prioritized.

That's just kind of an estimate based on 25 percent.

Okay, but they will be prioritized in the same manner the other ones are by the worst trip hazards, starting at the worst trip hazards and knocking those out until we eventually get all these trip hazards taken care of one day.

Well, I'll appreciate that on my nightly walks tripping around here.

I will tell you that our first area is that we're gonna hit is that uh South Murphy area that we've heard a lot about, kind of what is that the east side uh where there's been some issues.

So we will that's gonna be our our main focus right off the bat.

Okay.

And then how will residents be notified of the construction?

We will put out uh obviously do some uh social media, but when we're in an immediate area, we will uh do some door hangers and knock on some doors and let them know that we're coming.

Okay.

And so pretty much it's just we're just being cost efficient with this.

Um so just opportunity to fix more sidewalks, and then we're just leveraging those low bids for the most part, and using the maximum allowable change order.

Just to improve okay.

So improving safety and accessibility.

Absolutely.

All right.

Donald here have a few questions.

Sure.

So it's at 167 and then an additional 41, so it's 208.

How many do you currently have like as far as like sidewalks that have been so identified?

So I can tell you on that list, it's somewhere around the 460 mark.

Okay.

But we are reviewing that list again because I was informed recently that there are some that aren't really trip hazards, they're more like uh, you know, they kind of dip and maybe hold hold water.

So we're going to try to look at those again and maybe separate them out and and figure out really what is really a trip hazard, where do we need to focus at?

Because I think we can narrow that list down and really fix the items that are trip hazards and then come back and and catch the ones that are just you know hold water or have a little bit of a ramp or something on it.

Okay.

What's the time frame for that?

Do you think so um they have 120 days on the original contract?

Once we get into uh contracting with them, uh we'll probably discuss with them to see if they need some additional days because we're adding to the change order, and then we'll do a change order for the days as well, which doesn't need to go through council, it's just administrative things.

So but we need to talk to them to see how many days they they need for that.

And how about the time frame for dwindling down that 460?

Oh, the overall.

Uh so we will have a little bit more budget uh left and and it's something that the city manager and I can discuss uh that we could maybe do another like a phase two project at the after this one's complete that would hit it a little bit harder.

But I would say you're probably looking at three years before we including this year before we really get put a big dent in these.

Okay.

Yeah.

So that's one of the concerns that I've had internally, and I've talked to the public works director.

That list is very misleading, right?

It's a it's a very long list, but it includes, like he said, just pooling water, some cosmetic stuff.

And I want to be clear that those aren't the priorities for us to address, so let's take them off the list and not mislead the public that we're going to to actually make those a priority and try to get to them.

What we're concerned about is health and safety first and foremost.

If there is a cosmetic issue or chipping issue that's close to a safety issue for cost efficiency, we might go ahead and address that, but it's not something to be included on the list.

So I think just the very nature of making that list um something real that we're attacking and and prioritizing it in the right way.

That in itself is going to dwindle it down, but then the way that these bids came in this year, I think we're gonna be able to start making some real progress.

So it'll start to look different because it's been very stagnant that it looks stagnant.

We've been doing things every year.

But you're adding and it and it just doesn't look like progress is being made.

And so I think it'll be a more real view of what's actually happening now.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Donald one question.

Uh I'm sorry.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Um, I'm all about saving money, I'm also always concerned about the low bid.

Uh I know in the past there's been some incidents here in Murphy that uh concrete work has been maybe been subpar before your time, and I don't know if that is attributed to a low bid or not, but I heard you say earlier that they've been vetted.

I read that earlier.

Um they this particular company has they've never worked in Murphy, is that correct?

That's that's correct.

Okay.

That's correct.

That's correct.

Okay.

I have two questions.

Yes.

Uh one, um I have a neighbor with this issue, and the sidewalk parallel to their house is mostly fine, but where their sidewalk from the house goes up to the curb.

Goes up to the curb.

There's a drop there.

So, like if you are exiting the walkway like to the curb, it's like a big big time trip hazard.

Would you guys address such such a thing?

So if it's in, and Joseph may be able to help me with that.

My understanding is if it's in our easement, then we would probably try to fix that.

Now, if it's if it's a section coming from their yard onto the sidewalk, no, we wouldn't touch that.

That's on the private property side.

But there's a small section that needs some needs to be addressed in between the curb and the sidewalk.

I believe yes, we would we would look at that.

Is that correct, Dustin?

Yeah.

Right.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you for that.

My last question is can you or someone else on staff just remind us where the funding comes from for this one?

Is it is it all out of the that one sidewalk fund or is it sure is it's a combination of the two.

It's it's uh it actually comes out of the street maintenance fund, uh, which is I'm sorry.

Yeah, fund twenty-four.

So that that's our street maintenance fund, which is separate from the general fund.

But as far as sales tax, yes, which was just which was just reauthorized by the voters on Saturday.

Yes, I just want to make sure it was 100% coming from that, not supplemented from a yeah, the budget for this was 100% out of the sales tax.

Excellent.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

And with the people that you're going with for this now, even though we've not used them before, they've been vetted, you've got references.

Um I saw the work up that you guys had in there, uh, which I do share that concern.

You know, we like to get those low bids because we're stuck trying to stay within our budget, but then you know you get worried about, you know, do you get what you pay for, you know, sometimes with that.

But I guess we shall we shall see.

They seem to have good reputable resources there.

So we the good thing behind that is it is that we do have you know a project manager, Joseph, and we have a hired started today a new construction inspector.

Oh, good.

And he comes with a a ton of experience behind him.

So I think we will have the manpower to stay on them to inspect these as they go.

So we're gonna we're gonna hold them to it.

Yeah, thank you.

That's that's key.

Maybe something we were missing before is not really checking that work and then finding out when we already had a really big issue, you know, and then it's on us to go back and try to fix it.

So appreciate that.

So yeah, stay on them, Joseph.

Stay.

Joseph's tough.

If they pour the concrete before he gets to uh look at the steel, he'll make them rip it out.

Yeah, okay.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Absolutely.
