No, we're we're good to go. I I would like to let the board know. Uh Chris Tucker has resigned. Uh we have a couple of good candidates already uh in line with the city clerk, but I wanted to take the opportunity just mention if uh we're always in need of more boards and commissions uh members and volunteers, and if uh if any of the board members or anybody uh in the seats out there, you know, if somebody that'd like to volunteer, just get with the city clerk. So I I think we'll fill Chris's uh position pretty quick. Uh it that's a council appointed position, so it takes a little bit of time to do that. But all I got.
