But this afternoon we also got word that HPWA has accepted our accreditation. We are now also accredited, and when we get that award, we'll bring it in front of council. Both of the public works department uh and park and rec department uh really did a bang up job, and both of those accreditation teams said that we were simply outstanding. Uh and this was a total team effort, and there probably was well, there wasn't a department that wasn't somehow helping both of these departments achieve these accreditations. I'm exceptionally proud of the city as a whole uh and certainly proud of both of these departments. So uh with that, Ms. McNutt. Good evening, Mayors and member of council.
