And welcome. I call to order the Lake Havasu City Council meeting on Tuesday, April 14th, 2026 at 5.30 p.m. We'll have an invocation from Pastor David Jackson with Hilltop Church, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Sarah Mesmer with Hospice of Havasu. Pastor. Let's pray. Jesus, uh, just thank you for blessing us. Thank you, Jesus, uh, for what you've done for us for dying on the cross rising again. And we come before you before we make any decisions for our city, and we look for your wisdom. Uh we look for your knowledge, and we pray that you pour it upon us and we make decisions to benefit our community and uh unity and we pray for these men and women who stand before us in service that you bless them and their families, and we thank you for the service to us and our community. 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 welcome, Sarah, if you'd like to share a little bit about uh hospice of Havasu with us. Thank you, members of the council, mayor, and city staff. My name is Sarah Messmer. I'm the community engagement manager at Hospice of Havasu. And thank you all for the opportunity to visit a little bit about Hospice of Havasu with you tonight. We have an exciting anniversary coming up in July. Our resale store is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The yes, it deserves a round of applause. We want to thank our donors for donating for choosing to donate to Hospice of Havasu. And we also want to choose or thank our shoppers for choosing to shop at hospice at the Hospice of Havasu resale store. The proceeds from the resale store support the Hospice of Havasu mission of providing compassion and care with dignity. For over 44 years, Hospice of Havasu has existed to provide end-of-life care for community members in Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City that are at the end stage of an advanced illness. As a 501c3 not-for-profit hospice agency, Hospice of Havasu cares for those that are not medically eligible. I'm sorry, that are medically eligible regardless of their ability to pay or their insurance status. Also as a not-for-profit agency, we're offer we're able to offer other programs as well, such as social workers from our transitions program, offer guidance, support, and community resources for people not medically eligible for hospice care, but are living with the changes and challenges associated with declining health. As a not-for-profit, we are also able to offer grief support, individual grief support, and community grief support groups. Choosing a hospice is one of the most important decisions a family will ever make, and it often happens during an already stressful and emotional time. There are at least 10 other hospice companies in Lake Havasu City. So it's important to be able to be an informed consumer and to know the hospice you choose is your choice. Anyone can call Hospice of Havasu to learn more about any of the programs that I mentioned. And for more information, you can also follow us on Facebook and visit our website. Again, thank you for the opportunity to share a little bit about Hospice of Havasu with you all tonight. Thank you, Sarah. Thank you for all that you could do for our residents.
