Yes, it has. Chair Rear Cameron. Present. Vice Chair Graham. Present. Member Galotti. Excused. Member Mosdean. Excused. Member Drum. Excused. Member Lee. Present. Member Tilsar. Present. Member Ents. Present. Thank you, Chair. You have a quorum. Thank you. Item number three on the agenda. Public comment. Comment during this portion of the agenda must be limited to matters on the agenda for action. If you wish to be heard, come forward and give your name for the record. The amount of discussion as well as the amount of time any single speaker is allowed may be limited. So we have a motion to appear. Gregory Gray for the record. So I want to thank the board for taking the time to discuss and choose Camille Franklin to be recognized by the board for her outstanding work and helping Miss Diane, who you will see on your screens. She had been hospitalized and she was in a group home. And if it wasn't for the care that Miss Camille took to ensure that Diane was safe and sound and got in contact with her family to get her home, we are deeply appreciative for her going above and beyond the call of duty to assist the senior in need. And we are very happy that Diane's home with her family and is very happy. So come on up, Camille. Appreciate it. Well, you you didn't have to, but um I appreciate it. But like I was telling Gregory, I have a 92-year-old dad, and he lives by himself, and he's you know, having the first time stages of old timer, forgetfulness and everything like that. So if he got lost, I would want someone to do the same thing that I would do, you know, for Miss Diane. So it's it's you guys are giving me your ward, there's no need because that's just common decency, human decency. That's what you know. But you know, my dad and my mom, they always taught me treat people like you want to be treated, and I would want somebody to treat my dad like I treated Miss Diane. So ward is not I appreciate the war, but it's really not needed because it's just it's just who I am. It is the way I was raised. So but thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you, Camille. And I would just like to add that being a part of you know, all the stages through it, you were above and beyond. And there are people who uh they're mandated to put these things forth when they see it. And I think a lot of them miss some of the signs that you saw. So you have a gift, and we are so grateful as a board, and I know the city is so grateful to have you, and especially there in ward five.
