Those proceedings have been approved. Does not appear that we have any public speakers tonight, so we'll move on to our information only section. We have the mayor with us tonight. So we wanted to have a conversation with you, Mayor, and we'll we'll kind of start off and kind of walk you through some of the things that we talked about during our strategic planning, and then open it up for you if you have questions for the commission, and then for the commissioners should they have questions for you. Sorry. These are our passion areas. You'll see that uh we want to continue to be very welcoming. I think one of the things that we all saw as commissioners this last year was really opening the doors to our community and asking them to come in as part of those listening sessions and an opportunities to speak back to us, really give us an opportunity to hear what's really happening in our community and be able to give you some some feedback. And I know that you were just sent the other day our annual report, so that has some of that information in it. Um obviously equity and inclusion continue to be important. One of the things that that you'll hear all of us talk about is moving forward as a commission, we want to have measurable action. We've spent a lot of time listening in our community, and that that is very important. But we are now at a point where we want to take some action. We want to start really making some change in the community and really advising you all, um, you and then the council on those changes. Pastor Martin, is there anything that you want to throw in there? You're good? Okay. Um accomplishments. So again, the expanded community engagement. Um you know from the beginning of our time as a commission, the increased transparency around the body cameras and the use of force. As a commission, we talked about those of us that have been around since the beginning.
