Dang, that sounds good. Peanut peanut. Do you have any other pie? I mean, there it is. Not really. Yeah. Five. Four. Three. Right there. Good evening and welcome to the North Ritsman Hills City Council work session. It is five o'clock, and I will call the Monday, October 27, 2025 City Council work session to order a quorum of the City Council is present. The meeting has been duly posted in accordance with the Texas Hope Meetings Act and the Texas Government Code. Items listed for discussion on the work session agenda provide an opportunity for City Council to discuss the items and receive information from the staff. City Council will not take action on any of these items listed for discussion during the work session. Any members of the public wishing to address the council regarding items listed on the work session agenda may do so during the public comments portion of the regular meeting. Moving on to the first item, uh this gives the council an opportunity to ask questions about the items on the regular agenda that the council has not had cle clarification on at this time. I've had gotten several questions from council on the item related to uh the nitroblast change order, and those questions really are um kind of related to count uh legal matters related to the contract. So I've asked Bradley if he will uh I've asked y'all if y'all will reserve those questions until we get into executive session and Bradley can address those. And it would just be under this section that we always um post on our agendas that the council may enter into closed executive session as authorized uh by chapter 551 of the Texas government code in order to seek advice from the city attorney on posted uh agenda items. So if you would hold off on those questions until we get into executive session, thank you. Is there any anything else that's on the agenda for tonight that y'all need clarification on? Nope. All right, moving in. Uh employee engagement survey. Paul that was expected questions. All right, thank you, Mayor and Council. Uh we recently uh completed our employee engagement survey, and I think this is the third time that we have done an employee engagement survey. And in this, um our goal is to uh listen to employee feedback, uh, to understand what's working and what we need to focus on to achieve the goal of being a great place to work. And so to give you a snapshot of the survey, it was conducted in September by Probolski research. Uh we conducted a similar employee engagement survey in 2022 and in 2024. Some of the key takeaways are that nearly all of the staff rate the city as a great place to work. Job satisfaction is high among staff, and staff are for the most part proud to work for the city.
