I now declare the Plano City Council is reconvened in open session that all council members are present. We'll begin tonight's regular meeting with the invocation led by Pastor Allison Johnson, St. Andrew Methodist Church, and the Pledge of Allegiance and Texas Pledge led by Police Explorer Post 911. Would you all please stand? Would you please pray with me? Our Heavenly Father beloved, we thank you for the opportunity to serve our city, our community, our people. Grant each person here wisdom, insight, intuition, and belief, and something greater, something magnificent, and something that allows our community to be opened up to a way of living this life at the fullest. May those here tonight dig into their hearts and find the power to love their community well. May all of us acknowledge your presence and role in our authority and our decisions. May not one person be left out of this process, but may all people in our city and community be accounted for and served well. Let us seek the common good, honor the dignity of every person created in your image, and may Christ's reign of compassion and righteousness guide our actions and shape our communities. We ask this in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice overall. Texas one state under God. One and indivisible. Thank you. Thank you so much. All right. Comments of public interest. Comments of public interest. This portion of the meeting is to allow up to three minutes per speaker with 30 total minutes on items of interest or concern and not on items that are on the current agenda. The council may not discuss these items, but may respond with factual or policy information. The council may choose to place the item on a future agenda. And we do have several speakers this evening. The first one is Crystal Curry. So I've had to take a letter to him to have engage him and to get some suggestions on ways that I can, you know, kind of overcome those things because it makes me a little bit, just based on my situation, it makes me a little bit more vulnerable to the public. So because of that, I've asked him to get involved and kind of help me through that process. One of the things that uh you know I want to say is that I've called the representatives, and one of the things that we're trying to do is work through who whose jurisdiction it is, even though it's multi-jurisdictional, as you could see, based on the the deck that I gave you, it's still not clear to everyone what direction to go in and how to get the congressional representatives to actually move forward with this. I think there's a little bit of hesitancy and a little bit of like, is this really happening kind of thing? But um, you know, I just hope that a solution comes really fastly. Um, lastly, um, this begins the official season of the holidays, and so you know, as we go through this holiday period, this is the one time, you know, I've said in the United States that we actually do have holiday and vacation. So as we reflect on this time of year and prepare over the next five weeks to do personal reflection, I'm just grateful for, of course, the grace that I have, but also for each of you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you and elicit the help that I need for this very real unprecedented circumstances that's impacting my life in a way. And also I'm grateful for the police department and for their being able to engage with me to address those issues that I am that I am facing. So um, thank you very much. I do look forward to hearing from any one of you to kind of help as we move through this situation. Um, and as always, you know, I just um you know I'm I'm open. You can call me anytime. I hope you have a hope, uh a joyful and a peaceful holidays, and um uh I'll be here and continuously following up. Thank you so much. Alex Stein. Alex Stein. Good evening, Mayor Muns, and good evening to the distinguished council members of the Plano City Council.
