Good evening and welcome. I will call to order the Lake Havasu City Council meeting on Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025 at 5 30 p.m. We'll have an invocation by Pastor Kay Zimmerman from City on a Hill International Church, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Corey Castell with the Havasu Vibers Baseball. Let's stand and let's pray. Father God, we just thank you so much for this city. I thank you, Father, for our mayor, each council member, our police chief, fire chief, all who serve our city. We just thank you for your protection over it, Lord. Especially over our young people, Lord. Protection over our young people. And we thank you that there's a mighty move among the young people, God. Just keep that fire burning. Keep your hand on them, God. And I just ask you, Lord, to come in to this meeting. Be Lord over this meeting. And I'm going to read the decree that God gave us for our city. I decree over the city of Lake Havasu City that this city shall be a city of righteousness that honors God in all her ways. A city of hope to all her people and all those who come here. A city of light where darkness finds no room to hide. A city of love that prospers in all her ways, providing prosperity and goodwill to all her people as well as those surrounding her, and a city of peace to all who dwell here in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Thank you. Thank you and welcome. Would you like to share a little bit about your organization? Yes. Our current board, if I'm missing any one of you, please forgive me. But our president currently, David Moraz, he is part of our uh our firefighters in the community. Um, Justin Janisek, uh, Mike Thornhill, Justin Wilson, uh, Scotty Taylor, which is the vice president, um, and Rick Zagris, I believe you pronounce it. Um, and I if I missed any of you guys, um, thank you as well. Um I'm here directly for my son and his buddies, their team. We're the Havasu Vipers 9U team. This is our first year. Uh, young boys who have never played travel ball. Um, but we're looking to show them and set a quality standard, not only in the game, but as well as life. There's winning and losing in life, and um we don't want that to go to the wayside. Um, as these young boys grow older, they may fall and they may lose. But if you uh learn from it, it's not really losing. Um that's kind of our motto. Um, I'd like to thank my coaching staff, my assistant coach Danny Bull, and two other assistants, Chance Crane and Victor Lendero. Um the purpose, uh, I was invited here tonight. Um, I was in the city office speaking for an event for my the company I work for, ServePro, um, and the front desk. She, they were talking about the Afghanistan event with the BRICS, and I had mentioned our young boys and wanting to, you know, ingrain grain in them gratitude. Um, if we don't have gratitude, all we do, all the hard work and sweat and tears we put into this is all for nothing. Um, I learned that growing up in this community myself and having opportunities that I lost because I didn't have gratitude. So my goal here was to invite anyone in the community that needs a helping hand. Um boys putting up tables and chairs, serving people, whatever it may be, that we can help your events and uh just anything you might need where you need extra hands and and young boys could do it, albeit our schedules, they're going to school and whatnot. Um, but that they could learn that bit of gratitude and give back to the community. Um, we have a laundry list of donors that have given so much. Uh Councilmember Dolan, we appreciate your uh wonderful donation you gave us and your team over there at Campbell Cove. Um, gave sandwiches for an event we held. Um, and so you know, it's all about money, travel ball.
