Madam Chair, we're ready when you're ready. She said she's only to wait for us. Welcome everyone. This is the Sandy City Council meeting of Tuesday, June 9th, 2026. We start all of our meetings with a prayer and a pledge. Mr. Pace, would you do our prayer for this evening? We'd appreciate that. Be happy to. Our dear Father in Heaven, we come before thee this evening. We're grateful for this day. We're grateful for this community for these elected officials for their willingness to serve our community. We're grateful for uh the citizens who live here for their lives and the way they live. We're grateful for this uh building to meet in and for um the services we are able to provide the public. We pray that thou please bless us tonight that uh as we consider the budget that uh the right decisions will be made be made for our citizens, and we say this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Thank you. Will everyone please rise for the pledge? I pledge allegiance to the United States or America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God with liberty and just for all the questions. Thank you so much to those who have joined us tonight, both in the chambers and online. Let me describe how things are going to work, especially for people who want to make public comment tonight, which is very much welcomed. There will be three opportunities for public comment. There will be one at 6 p.m., which is just general citizen comment. You can step up to the podium and just and tell the council anything you'd like the council to hear. Then there are two voting items, a public hearing item and a voting item tonight. Um that's um agenda item number five is just a continued public hearing on the budget, which has not yet been adopted and probably won't be for still a couple more weeks. And then item number six is a council voting item, and those are budget amendments that have been brought forward from council members for our further consideration. We will be voting on those, but only voting to move them forward to a final consideration, not for uh a conclusive decision. There are blue cards in the back of the room. Anyone who would like to make public comment will ask you to fill out one of the blue cards. And if you wouldn't mind, let us know which item you'd like to comment on, whether it be general citizen comment item five or item six on our agenda. Um General Citizen Comment will come as close to six p.m. as we can fit that one in. Don't be surprised if it comes a little bit later than that. All right. We'll move right into our agenda. Did you want to do introductions? Oh, I'm sorry. Let's do introductions. Thank you, Madam Chair. Uh my name is Dustin Fratto. I'm with the City Council office. There's one other council staff member in the back of the room, Justin Sorensen, and then the Council legal counsel, Mr. Cadell will be here shortly. Chris Edwards with the council office.
