Welcome to this special city council meeting Thursday, September 24th, 2026 at 545 p.m. Please join me for the Pledge of Allegiance. Pledge of resolution to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God in the individual with liberty and justice for all. Do we have any audience participation? Seeing none, we'll move on to scheduled matters. We have resolution number R26-85, a resolution of the city council authorizing the mayor to execute an independent contractor service contract with true north contracting. Matt, would you like to present that? Just for your information, this was the uh contractor who gave us the quote on uh West Seventh that uh I believe it was just a little large for the whole project. But this is a project at the cemetery, and we started uh last year with uh paving what we could pave at a time, and it's seems like it's about eighteen thousand a year, but we can uh pave and hopefully in a few years we'll have it all done. It seems that uh this is gonna pretty much finish off one of the long roads, and it's uh like I said it's eighteen thousand six hundred dollars, and he mills it and tax it and makes it match all the curb and gutters and it will match what was done last year. Uh for the uh type of work it is the uh the the gentleman does a great job. Okay, is there any public comment? Do I have any counselor council disclosure of conflict or ex parte communication?
