Scott Waters. Please stand for a moment. Silent Burr followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Pledge of allegiance. Under that individual with university and justice role.

Marty, come on up and tell us why you want to serve. Good afternoon. Why I want to do this. I I served in Kosovo quite a bit in the military. Um my job there was more of an ambassador, but I worked a KSF uh Kosovo Security Forces. I helped them get their medical certification for NATO for roll one. Um I did that from 2016 to about 2022. Uh one of the other efforts we were into is loading in logistics uh finance, a little bit of everything within their military system and kind of coming in line with what we could do with the National Guard at the time. Obviously, I'm not in the National Guard anymore. So were you with the 185th? I was, yes. Okay. I thought so by your rec the references, but I wanted to make sure. Okay. I'm glad you applied for this. I I think it's great that you're going to be serving us. We traveled the country quite a bit when we were over there, so we did um, you know, when you go over there, they they respect Iowa and the Iowa Guard quite a bit, and we got a lot of tours. I did a lot of stuff with uh civil uh authorities and stuff like that because we had to do exercises there. We did them up in the mountains in the middle of cow pastures and stuff. So we had to do quite a bit with the you know with a lot of medical responses. So good. Excellent. Thank you. Thank you. Anything else? Okay, no, thank you. All right, thank you very much.

So we don't have to read that. Speak if you want to speak on an item, please come up as I read it. If you want to speak on an item not on the agenda, please come up under citizen concerns. I'll move the consent agenda. Second. Three is a reading of the October 15th, 16th, and 20th City Council minutes.
