All right, well, good afternoon, everyone. Thank you all for being here. We are going to go ahead and get started. Oh, the official gavel. The North Las Vegas City Council and Redevelopment Agency welcomes you to their meetings. There are four public forum set aside for public comments. One at the beginning and the end of the redevelopment agency meeting. One at the beginning and the end of the city council meeting. If you wish to speak, please complete one of the blue cards, which are located on the table outside the main entrance. And at the podium rail, please give your card to the city clerk when called upon to speak. We request that you limit your comments to no more than two minutes and that you avoid repetition. Madam City Clerk, are we in compliance with the Nevada Open Meeting Law? Yes, Mayor, we are. Thank you. Today we have the opportunity to have the invitation given by Mayor Pro Tim Scott Black. Following that, we will have the City of North Las Vegas Honor Guard, followed by the National Anthem by Rolanda Green, and the Pledge of Allegiance as led by Kate Johnson and Brynn Blue Booth. Would everyone please rise. Grateful for the leadership of the city for our mayor and our city council and pray that we may be guided by inspiration that we can make decisions that will be to the benefit of those that we're called to serve. We pray for blessings upon our school children and the families in our community and for those that put themselves in harm's way, both in the armed forces as well as our first responders here in our community that they can be watched over and protected as they do their important work. And I pray for these blessings in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. And brides stars through the pen of spite or the run we watched was so gonely streaming. And the roll gets around the bums bum sting through through the night. Or the land of a free and the whole of that. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them. A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, devouring their powers just from the consent of the govern. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of people to alter or to abolish it. And to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for the light and transient causes. And accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same object events as a design to reduce them under absolute despotism. So we're gonna go ahead and move into council items.
