Amen. Amen. Thank you, Pastor. I pledge allegiance to July United States of America. And to the Republic for which is under God and principle with liberty Justice Carl. Let the record reflect that all council members are present. Thank you, regular Megan. Call to the public as a reminder, it's election season. State law prohibits any town resource, including staff time, equipment, and anything of value to be used to influence an election. This prohibition applies to call to the public. You can talk about a town issue, but please do not advocate for a specific candidate or ballot measure. We appreciate your efforts to help the town comply with state law and avoid using taxpayer monies to influence the election. When called to speak, please approach the podium, speak towards the microphone. So your statements can be heard. Give your name. Please contact the council members or staff directly on the town website. So our purpose is to conduct town's business. If you have not submitted a speaker request form, uh raise your hand when the speakers are done. So with that, uh Brooke Myers. So I really appreciate you. I've been going to a lot of the committee meetings, the council meetings, and the town has changed, changed for the good. Thanks Steve for what he's done. I've gone to the uh Frisbee Golf opening the trail. Uh I got goosebumps talking about that event last weekend. Um, and he told me that there were 400 riders last weekend. What? Almost 300. Almost 300. Okay, but also said that another one is coming up, and there's gonna be a thousand. I don't know where we're gonna put all these people. So uh hotels, that's where we're gonna put them right up. There we go. There we go. Uh congratulations, Megan. Uh I've I've gotten to know you a little bit, and you do a fantastic job. Uh that all being said, I do want to revisit something that I talked about a few meetings ago, and that's a monthly project management meeting. Uh I think us as stakeholders would love a monthly meeting with the new project manager.
