Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Appreciate you being here. Before we get started with our meeting, we're gonna have an invitation. Please invite uh Mark Julian, Northside Baptist Church. Let us pray. Father, thank you, God, for uh another day for this past memorial day, and God for the sacrifice. So many made for our country. And for their families that remain, God, may we remember them. But God, we're grateful for our country. We're grateful for the state. We're grateful for the city. May God you bless this council. May you bless the agenda. God, we need you, and we trust you for today and for tomorrow's needs. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Thank you for being here. Before I call the meeting to order, I just want to thank staff for bringing in the extra chairs. And if we if we have any citizens that would like to come on in and sit down along the sides here in these extra chairs, that'd be great. We'll call the meeting to order and announce that we do have a quorum. Please note for the record that Mayor Paul Pashkill is absent today. However, all other counsel is present. Item number three is going to be Pledges of Legiance to the United States and Texas flag, led by Matt Tiscus. Please join me. I pledge allegiance to the five space or stands. One of the disciples. Thank you, Mr. Matt. Item number four, items of community interest, Miss Aaron Spicer. Mayor Pro Tim and Council. If Weatherford has an off season, nobody told our calendar. We've got more going on this month than a church parking lot on Easter Sunday. The secrets out. This year's Spark in the Park headliner is Stony Larue. He's bringing the red dirt magic to Weatherford on July 4th. So dust off your lawn chairs, text your group chat, and prepare for a day of fun. Fireworks and Stony LaRue, that's a pretty solid excuse to stay in town for the 4th of July. And Rodeo Week is rolling into town and it's bringing the parade with it. Join the Parker County Sheriff's Posse for the 49th Annual Frontier Days and Rodeo Parade on June 6th at 6 p.m. Rodeo Week kicks off with Horses Floats and Hopetown Pride. And Sparky and Barker are taking their talents to the backyard bash. Stop by the Parker County American Legion Post 163 on June 6th for live music, food, bounce houses, and fun community and for a fun community event. Everyone is invited. And last week was Public Works Week's, which means it's not too late to thank the folks who keep Weatherford moving, maintained, and looking good. Early mornings, long days, icy roads, and brutal heat. Our public works team shows up in conditions most of us wouldn't even walk to the mailbox in. We are so grateful for them. And downtown just got a little bit sweeter. A new mural on the side of Whistle Hills now pays tribute to the Parker County famous peach culture and the beloved Peach Festival.
