Well, thank you.

Welcome to the Mesa City Council meeting for May 4th, 2026.

Uh, Councilmember Heredia and Councilmember Taylor are participating by Zoom.

Other than that, all other council members are present.

Uh tonight we'll begin with an invocation by Pastor Ann Leiter from the Velda Rose United Methodist Church, and then followed by a pledge of allegiance by Xander Rogers of Boy Scout Troop 54.

Please stand and welcome, Pastor.

Thank you.

Just one item.

I now am the pastor at St.

Matthew United Methodist Church, which is also in Mesa.

So thank you for inviting me.

Let us all be in an attitude of prayer.

Creator of all.

As we gather in this chamber, may we pause for a moment of intention.

We come from many paths and faiths, each carrying hopes for our families, our streets, and our shared future.

Let us hold those differences with respect and let them strengthen rather than divide us.

Grant us the clarity to see one another's needs, the courage to speak truth with kindness, and the patience to listen before deciding.

May all deliberations be guided by fairness to protect the vulnerable, to ensure opportunity for all, and to restore dignity where it has been lost.

Help us balance practical stewardship of public resources with a bold commitment to justice, knowing that safety, prosperity, and belonging rise together.

Give wisdom to our leaders, diligence to our staff, and a cooperative spirit to everyone who serves this city.

May the actions taken today reflect compassion, equity, and long-term care for the common good.

With gratitude for this place and its people, let us proceed in service to one another.

Amen.

Thank you very much.

Xander.

Speak speak more in the microphone.

Will the audience please rise and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance?

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

And to the Republic for Stands.

One nation.

Thank you, Xander and Pastor for your remarks and Troop 54 is where I started out as a Cub Scout.

So it's been a few years ago.

With that, uh item one is a consent agenda.

Mr.

Christopher, if you're here.

I don't think Miss Mosley, we have anything off the consent agenda at this time.

That is true, Mayor.

Nothing has been pulled.

Thank you.

It is.

Kevin, the time's yours.
