Good evening and welcome to the Lake Havasu City Council. I will now call to order the council meeting on Tuesday, September 24th, 2024 at 5 30 p.m. We'll have an invocation from Pastor David Jackson from Hilltop Church, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by the Haven Center. Let's have a word of prayer. Gracious Heavenly Father, uh, we just thank you that we can freely assemble here and uh we can uh seek to unify the city and uh make decisions for the best of our community, Lord. We pray that you uh bless our council members, uh, bless their family lives. Uh pray, Lord, that we be with the audience and that we're respectful and we treat each other with respect and come about with the best solution. And may you be glorified in all in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. And uh welcome Haven Center. If you'd like to share a little bit about your organization. Yes, I'm Danielle Ahrens.

Full accreditation is the highest level of membership and denotes excellence and service provision to cases involving child abuse. Haven has been providing services to the community since 2001, and the staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide on scene crisis responses to crimes such as child abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and other person crimes.
