Good evening and welcome. I call to order the Lake Avassie City Council regular meeting on Tuesday, August 11th at 5.30 p.m. Thank you all for being here. I will start with an invocation from Pastor Dale Ray with Lakeview Community Church, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Patty Gilmore with the Western Arizona Humane Society. Pastor. Just a couple of verses out of the Gospel of Matthew. You are a light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven. Press us heavily father. I pray your blessing upon our city council meeting tonight, upon our mayor, and upon each of these council members. We ask, Lord, that you would bless and encourage their hearts. That would bless our city, bless our state, and Lord, we pray that Lake Havasu will be a shining light to all the world. Thank you for all that you do through us and through the city in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Council members. Good to see you all for a good reason. Um very busy at the Humane Society. We have construction going on. We are expanding the clinic, making it even larger with Langs closing down. We have taken on a lot more at our clinic. As you know, we were offering we are offering emergency hours. This community asked for emergency hours. We stayed open till eight o'clock at night. For two and a half months, we've been open till eight o'clock at night. Nobody shows up after six forty-five. And I'm paying two doctors and six techs. So we are going to be changing our hours, offering five nights a week till six o'clock emergency care. Emergency care also isn't when they can't can't get into their own vets and a point for an appointment. They call they come in to us for emergency care. That's not emergency care. So we are changing things up to help the community, but we're not going to have our doctors working 12 hours and people not showing up. It's not feasible money-wise, or it's just not fair to do that. But so as I say, we're changing things around, but all is good. We are not turning away any emergencies during the day whatsoever, whatever clinic they come from, real emergencies. Okay. Any questions? Thank you, uh Patty, and thank you for carefully. Thank you for being here. And then before we move on to the next item, I would like to uh just take a moment uh quickly to recognize Scout Troop 55 who are joining us tonight. Uh uh they're here in the audience as part of their scouting journey, attending a city council meeting and learning about civic engagement and local government helps fulfill one of the requirements towards earning an Eagle uh required merit badge. So tonight gives these scouts an opportunity to see firsthand how local government works, how decisions are made, and how those decisions impact our community. Uh we're glad to have each of you here with us uh this evening and appreciate your commitment to leadership service and becoming engaged members of our community. Uh please join me in welcoming uh Scout Troop 55. All right, item 400 agenda is roll call. Ms. Williams, if you please call the roll. Council members Nancy Campbell.
