Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Monday, July twenty-seventh Madison City Council meeting. At this time, I would like to invite Pastor Lewis Martin from Madison Church of the Nazarene to lead us in the invitation, and then remain standing, please, for the Pledge of Allegiance. Please stand. Thank you, Pastor. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this city and for every person who works and serves to make it function. Lord, as I think of our city from our humble beginnings to a top 10 city in the state, we didn't do this alone, but by people who serve our city. We're grateful for our first responders who protect and care for us in the moments of crisis for our teachers who shape the minds and hearts of the next generation. Lord, for the bus drivers who safely carry our children, and for those who handle waste disposal and keep our streets and neighborhoods clean. Lord, without them, our city would have a void that could not easily be filled. Thank you for their faithfulness, often unseen and underappreciated. Lord, we also thank you and we ask you for your blessing for this council. Grant them wisdom to discern what is best, patience to listen well, and unity of purpose as they seek the good of every resident. Lord, may their decisions be marked by integrity, fairness, and careful stewardship of the trust placed in them. Lord, we ask for your blessing on every home, every family, and every business in our city. We ask this in your name. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Pastor. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God and invisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. All you may be seated. May I have the roll call, please. Mayor Bartlett. Here. Council President Robleski. Here. Councilmember Beer. Councilmember Goodson. Councilmember McKay. Here. Councilmember Lesman. Councilmember White. Here. Councilmember Jackson. Here. Thank you. We are late, but we have a quorum. We have a number of council members that are on business travel at this time, so we wish them safe travels. At this time, I would like to ask her if there are any amendments to the agenda. There are no amendments. Thank you.
