order and we'll ask uh Whitney if you will do the pledge and the pledge and please join me in the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for Dear heavenly father, we thank you for your blessings that you bestowed on the city. We ask you to uh give us your wisdom, your discernment as we make decisions for the city of Booneville. It's in your name we pray. Amen. Amen. Roll call. Albert Venibal here. Davis here.

Be Thompson here. Melersman here. Coward here. Barb

here. The good news is looks like we have a quorum. So the uh we will proceed forward then on hearing of citizens comments. Are there uh any citizens comments on anything that's not covered in the agenda or anybody wants to speak? Uh if not, we will I think we have a presentation by the school resource officers uh for the council that will while it's under public comments, it'll be treated a little bit differently. So if normally if you're under public comments, you'd have five minutes to talk and there's really no interchange between the council and the and the people that uh are making the comments. Give them their full five minutes. Uh when when it's presentation, it's can be more of an interchange. So, council members have a question, they can ask uh ask questions uh of the people making the presentation and they're not set to a time limit, although you know, we'd ask you to be as brief as possible. Thank you.

We promise to keep it shorter than five minutes.

So, I think everybody here knows me, but my name's Tyler Shanmire. I'm a school resource officer assigned to Boomville High School, Hannle Primary, and I'm also responsible for the BTE. So, um, three years now into, uh, school res, excuse me, school resource officer program. I think it's been a tremendous success. I believe Brad would agree. Um, first time that the city of Boomville, or I should say the Boomville school districts has had a school resource officer program. So, is building it up from the ground. A lot of learning from other districts that had already implemented it. Um, again, I think it's been a tremendous success being able to build relationships with the kids. I know for a fact I can speak in the high school um where kids are a little older and have a little bit more of an opinion to themselves. I really feel like I've changed a lot of people's opinions on law enforcement, showing them that we are people um just like they are making it easier for them to relate to us. Um I coach football at the high school, coach multiple youth sports. I know Brad also coaches wrestling at the middle school. Um get them getting to see us in that context and not just in our uniform doing our job. I think that helps them relate to us. And again, building relationships has been a big part of why I think the program has been successful. Um, some of you all have already uh seen these statistics, but I wanted to go over a few things. So, the 2022 2023 school year was the last school year before the uh SRO program was implemented in the Boomville school district. Now, I should say these statistics are just for the high school where I pulled these numbers. So the last year before there was an SRO in the high school, there was a total of 1,287 total events. Of those events recorded, 29 were classified as fighting assaults threats towards school staff or students. First year of the SRO program, that number dropped to 1,034 of which 250 I'm sorry, that was a 253 event decrease from the year before. Year two of our program, that number dropped to 543. to decrease from 491 events from the

prior year and a total drop of 744 events. When I pulled this data, I believe approximately about a month ago. Would that sound right? When I pulled it at that point for the 2025 2026 school year, we were at 380 total events. So that number continues to drop. Um I believe that's indicative of the program success. Um I'm very proud of the work that we've done at the high school and at Hannacle and the Btech. Um I wanted to share those statist statistics with you. I know Brad has been working very hard on implementing the RAD kids program. So, I'm gonna let him talk to you a little bit about that.

My name is Brad Simmons. I'm a school resource officer at David Barton Elementary and Lor Speed Elliot. Um, I have a little bit different of a scenario than Tyler because he has Hannah Cole in the high school major age gap. I get kids from third grade and I keep them all the way to eighth grade basically. So, I get to they get to see me for a very long period of time and I get to see them. So, uh, it works well over the years building trust and relationships. Um, we end up having a lot of behavior type situations because kids these days can be kind of undiagnosed with maybe some behavioral or mental health issues at very young ages because doctors don't want to intervene. But that can um help make contact and help help me build relationships with some of those children to help help build some coping mechanisms to where I can help them or if they need time, I can help them learn to uh kind of deescalate themselves and things like that. And then as the years continue, I can help them be more sustainable in classrooms. Uh maybe even look at um extracurricular sports and things like that. I know that there was a kid that I helped over a couple years it took for him to be able to control his own behaviors and then he attempted wrestling for me one season and that went successful to what to where we hoped. You know, maybe not uh overachiever as a wrestler, but from where we started to where we got to with him like it really helped him uh learn some good skills that were help set him up for success in his own. Uh so for the RAD kids program, the Booneville Police Department and the Boone CIT Council, we've kind of partnered and we're bringing RAD kids to Booneville Cooper County area. It's a program that law enforcement helped teach in the schools that help kids. It's similar to DARE, but it's not just

oriented towards drugs. It's oriented towards bullying, uh, addiction, domestic abuse, to not only recognize those things in their settings, but also not be a victim. So, we're teaching them not to be not to be a victim of of abduction. If we see a stranger and a stranger's teaching wanting us to go with them, teaches us to recognize them, push away, go find somebody, and that it's okay to tell somebody that we trust. Um, it also goes through a lot of behavior building um, keys as far as setting positive barriers even with your positive relationships with your friends. And in the Boonville School District, we're going to attempt to implement it at like second grade and fourth grade. That way kids are not only getting introduced to it that by the time they second time they go through it that hopefully they can really start working on like the bullying behaviors of don't be a bully, don't allow bullying behavior and if that does happen that I can tell somebody I trust and that way we can continue to teach the children to protect themselves because there's a lot of kids these days you're not born to have a protective instinct over yourself And some families weren't ever taught those skills either. And maybe when they have a child, they're not able to help pass on uh protective traits so that kids could be vulnerable because we're vulnerable when we're born. So, we're hoping getting this program installed in some school districts locally will help teach kids to kind of stand up for themselves, build some self-confidence, and also recognize and not tolerate those type of behaviors. Uh, so we're hoping to build better citizens in the community, basically, you know, raise the standard

around here. So we have all the county schools, city schools, Catholic school in Franklin Fet, Randolph County. We have about 16 to 20 officers, school counselors, teachers that are all going to get trained here in June so we can implement it next school year. Uh I sent a PowerPoint to Kate that she can send out to you guys with kind of more information about that. And then the Boonlick YMCA, we're going to do kind of a summer program where we can go over that in like a fiveday span with kids that maybe don't aren't in a school district that teach it, but they can still elect to come. So, it's kind of what I got.

What questions you guys have for us about the program, whether it be RAD kids or just the SRO program in general? You answered mine. You you do do the Catholic school, correct? As well, just St. Peter and Paul. Brad's done a great job of stopping by there because it's right in between both of his schools. Awesome. you know, he's tried to he's been a pretty good presence there. Yeah. So, coming out of the next school year, uh I'll be the head middle school wrestling coach, and Tyler's my assistant. We have a lot of kids in the LSC, David Barton, and the Catholic school that have wrestled for us or will wrestle for us. So, um we just happen to know a lot of kids in those kind of age groups, too. So,

yeah, just a comment. So, they briefly touched on this, but uh the value they bring as a de facto counselor. Can I can I use that? Can I use that? The the value they've brought into the school as a as a informal counselor has really been life-changing for a lot of kids, you know, and these guys know it better than anyone, but sometimes just that one little touch point can divert a child from a bad path to a better path. and these guys do that. It's a fantastic program. So, shout out to both the officers and it's a really really great great thing.

So, have you seen any uh as far as I'm not sure if any officers have commented as far as the fact that you all are at the school system, how the children interact around other police officers? Do do you see any change in that behavior? I've personally seen it firsthand. Um, so I was around the the football players specifically before there was an SRO program and uh the way they interacted with me then and the way they interact with me now is completely different. Okay.

Right. And I've seen and I'm sure Brack can attest to this to it's much easier for them to approach us whether they're having a problem, something's going wrong, they need advice like touched on kind of being somebody to talk to. Um really just night and day difference and I'm not sure you can really see that in statistics unless you just see it on a daily basis. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Like even being at the park in the summertime, uh other officers will tell us that um oh hey, I saw such and such kid. They asked if Tyler was there or if I was there because they wanted to see if we were around or they wanted to get a sticker from us or something like that, you know, things like that. So So it definitely has. And then uh like we invite the other officers sometimes to come help with

lunch of David Barton, read to the kids, different things like that. And it's really helped to incorporate kind of the whole department I feel like. So that's good. One question uh kind of going back a little bit. You're talking about the number of incidences as an indicator for your effectiveness. I'm curious if there are indicators for the RAD program that you're anticipating measuring outside of just number of incidences. um because I want to I want to know how you know how it

No, no, I totally understand. Um I don't know how to measure that in data. I'm I'm sure we'll be able to and we'll be able we'll just have to figure out a way to try to measure that. I know that since I've been there, my thought going into being an SRO and, you know, third through 8th grade is was totally different than what it ended up being. Um, I never thought that I would be such a resource for kids that were victims versus kids that I thought, you know, have a positive side and just needed a little bit more help and never thought about being the the safe place or the protector for some of the kids that were victims. And to realize how big of a group that amount of kids is is was wild to me. And it still kind of is. But um to be able to deal with those kids that deal with um negative situations, I think I'll be able to help give some feedback because once we start going through the program and different things, even the kids that I see now that like I'll see in third grade that are very sheltered and not confident and um hopefully this program and just us being there in general could kind of help build some self-confidence and build some basic life skills to help um you know with in other social settings and different things like that and just building positive barriers with their own uh friends groups you know and not allowing negative behavior and type stuff like that. So have something we'll have to look into for sure.

Do you think long term it worked well with the two officers splitting the schools or do you think there's room for growth of one and each school? I mean I would always say there's room for growth and room for improvement. Um, I I do think that me and Brad do a good job of splitting it. Just the layout of the town. It makes a lot of sense the way that it is for me to be responsible for the buildings that I have and they're basically all all connected and his aren't too far apart. Yeah. Um, very rarely do we have to leave and assist the other person. It's happened, but on a very rare occasion. So, I think the system that we have now works well. Yeah, I think so. I think it would be maybe based on population, but I don't think our schools ever get over over.

That's a good point. So, uh, we go to trainings and we speak with other SRO's. Um, one comes to mind in St. Joseph, which is a very, very large town. I think he was responsible for 12 schools by himself and it's almost counterproductive at that point. You can't be in any one place too long. You can't build a relationship with anybody. You're just running from building to building. Yeah. And just one other quick question. So, you guys are obviously police officers, right? City employees, right? And can you explain if you needed help or something? How easy is it to communicate with Randy and the rest of the Oh, it's terrible. I want these new radios. It better not. But can you just talk about

you're you're embedded in the schools, but talk about how you interact with Randy and company when needed. Uh when we first started the program, Randy checked in on me. I was only SRO for the first six months before they started a second position for Brad. So, um, Brandon did a great job of just checking in on me, making sure I needed everything that I had. Honestly, we're pretty self-sufficient out there. Um, just kind of on our own little island, but anytime I've ever needed anything, I just reach out and not just him, but anybody that works with the police department, they're always willing to come out and help with other uh, extra events or activities. Um, kind of like what Brad brought up earlier, but it's a good working relationship. We we're all technically under the police department, but we're so separated, too, because we're never there.

Yeah, I'd say we're kind of spoiled by the school district also. We we didn't get stuck in a broom closet. We both got pretty nice offices. So uh officers don't mind coming to check in on us and hang out for a little bit or uh uh you know with the radios you bring up. We're working on every we're getting out the bugs where uh I do have a little bit of trouble getting reception in my schools and things, but that's going to get hashed out soon. But uh anytime there's anything if somebody was a child was to take off from school property, road guys would be right there to help us take care of it. No problem. So yeah. So, I just want to give you guys kudos because the way I measure it is we usually get feedback and usually when we get feedback, it's not good feedback and and the feed only feedback that I've got on the SRO program from the community is is positive feedback. So,

thank you. From start from the ground up to now, you guys have done a great job. Appreciate it. Thank you for that. Any other questions? Oh, go ahead. I was just just a couple clarifying question for you guys. So, the they are city employees. Um the school does reimburse those us. It's like about nine months is kind of what we figure and then so in the summer you're pretty much doing your training, getting your hours in. So you kind of end up and then they take a vacation maybe in there. So use up some of their time off.

And so um so we are reimbursed under a contract. So it's not um they're sharing the expenses with us since they're primarily at the school. And I would just add that if you read the agreement because we wrote the agreement before we knew if we would play well in the sandbox and there's a lot of things in there including I think like quarterly meetings that h that lasted for about a week. I was going to say I think like I'll occasionally be like or Randy or I will be like do we need to get together like no. So we're like okay. So it has worked out really well. It yeah it just has been very smooth transition into starting the program. So hopefully it stays that way. I know I've really enjoyed it. I'm sure Brad has. It's been great. Was that under five minutes? Close. No,

it wasn't, but it's our fault. Thank you. Take that. Yeah. Thank you all. Thanks. Okay, we'll move on to the April 14th council minutes. Are any corrections to the minutes? Hearing none, the minutes will stand approve as presented. Uh, under consent items, consider change order number four for $000 to CL Richardson Construction for waste and sewer improvements 2025. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion we approve the above consent item. Okay, I'll second. Do we have a motion and a second? Discussion. Roll call. Venable? Yes. Davis? Yes.

Thompson? Yes. Mel uh Melgresmond, yes. Coward, yes. Harville, yes. Okay. Uh presentation of accounts and claims appropriations.

Ordinance appropriating money. Be it ordained by the council of the city of Boonville as follows. for the purpose of paying salaries on various accounts against the city of Boomville which have been allowed by the council at the regular meeting thereof on four April 20th 2026 the sum of1,876,94.96 general fund $189,69027 sanitation $12,191.78 CIP tax $250,942.99 9 waterworks $145,8765 capital projects $500,000 wastewater $123,512.71 tourism $8,977.33 gaming $640,55259 parks and water $435064 camper sales tax $0 section two The accountant is hereby authorized and instructed to draw checks on the respective city bank accounts in favor of the persons whose salaries and accounts have been allowed as above amounting to $1,876,94.96 being the total amount of money above appropriated. This ordinance shall take effect and be enforced from and after its passage. First reading on 420 20226 read for the second time this 420 2026 since a copy was made available prior to the meeting. Second reading title only.

Ordinance appropriating money. Mayor, I move that we approve this ordinance appropriating money. Okay. Do we have a second? I'll second. Okay. We have a motion and second. Is there any discussion? Kate, just a quick clarifying thing. So, I know this is high, which is fine and explained in your memo. Um, on the on the roundabout, which was a million, where did that how did we separate that? So, the vehicles are coming out of gaming, which is normal. So, where did the roundabout how how a little bit of everywhere?

How did you divvy that up? Because I'm curious. Um so the CIP sales tax had a portion in there about the 200,000 and then um gaming had 640 and that 500,000 that's in the CIP not all that 640 and then the CIP that 500,000. So that's the reimbursement we'll get from from

CDBG when we get it. So, the way the um the way the cost share works is it's like buying a house. We have to like put all the money in escrow. So, we had to put our whole $1.1 million and then MDOT manages the entire project. So, we'll get reimbursed, but CDBG won't reimburse us. They'll reimburse us on pays. So, eventually we'll fill that hole. Okay. So, and we did pull some from reserves. I mean, that was the plan. Yeah. I'm I'm sorry. Um, what was the percentage payback on that? It was a 50/50 match with MDOT. 50/50. And the roundabouts about 2.2 million.

So 1.1 million is our portion. $500,000 we'll get back from CDBG. I mistold somebody. Somebody asked me about it this weekend and I was like I think it's like 75% but I I'm gonna have to call them. Yeah, it's a 50 Yeah, it's a 50-50 match, but we leverage their 50% with the CDBG. So, you know, we are now we're in for about 600. Okay. So, you could be there. You should. Yeah. No, I'll call him anyways. Any other questions? Roll call. Venable? Yes. Davis? Yes. Thompson? Yes. Melersman? Yes. Coward? Yes. Harville? Yes.

Um, unfinished business. I believe we have none. New business is Heritage Days. Uh, I think we have the You guys have the festival and event permit. Um, we switched to this festival and event permit a couple years ago. Um, in an attempt to try to get everything on one page so that we made sure people who needed to bring picnic tables or garbage cans or whatever knew where things were going. Um, we also changed up the way we did street closures. So, we used to have a signature form if anyone is part of an event, but now we do door hangers because it's hard to find people because or they don't answer their doors. So, the way this works typically they're going to come tell you about their event um and then talk about the street closures. Heritage Days always gets a little longer conversation because it's bigger, involves more streets, longer time, and then they will go back and then they'll get all the door hangers and they'll put them out. And then at the next council meeting, you'll approve the street closures. I'll pass it over to you guys. We got our dates.

Yeah. So, the dates of heritage days are um the 20 the 26th and the 27th of June. Um street closures are going to be from Spring and Chestnut Street from 4th to 6th and then Morgan to Vine or Fourth Street from Morgan to Vine. Um I mean the events I think are the same as last year, correct? Mhm. Um, yeah, I don't if council has any questions. Any questions? Thanks for organizing. I know it's a lot of work and it's always a good time. So, appreciate your work.

It's the same exact street closures as last year, right? Yes. I think um Spring Street is going a little farther onto Third Street for a little extra for the car show, but that's it. Okay. And then the parade route's all the same as it was last year as well.

All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Um so I think we're at reports of standing committees. Um Whitney, do you have anything on police board? Uh it was canceled due to lack of agenda items. Well then that makes a short report. Yeah. It's in the in the mail. Yeah. In the package. and street alley and sanitation board. Andrew.

Yeah. So, a meeting uh there was a brief meeting, but uh it was then rescheduled uh to the following Tuesday. Uh there are a few notes in your packet uh regarding some parking issues and things like that. But, um this will be uh uh tabled until the next meeting which is coming up uh shortly. So, I believe on on Wednesday the 22nd will be when the reschedule was. Okay. Um two reports of city officials. I don't believe I have anything as mayor. So, do you have anything as city administrator?

Um, I don't think I have anything else. Again, I think um the fire station progress is underway. So, I was going to go ahead and have Tim's been in closer contact give a quick update. Again, for council people that weren't there, we're we're mediating some mold and there was some wild cards going on, but I think we seem to have more positive news. So little sigh of relief.

So yeah, they started uh removing the HVAC, the duct work, everything that's involved with the HVAC. And it appears that uh the majority of our mold problem is limited to the HVAC. We do have some surface mold uh in some of the ceilings, uh a few uh lower areas. Um they've removed ceilings in two of the bedrooms, uh part of the kitchen and one of our storage areas that had some pretty good uh mold growth, but it's looking it's looking better. It it doesn't sound like it's going to be as extensive as what we thought. So that makes me breathe a little better. Um hopefully we can get back in our building pretty soon. But uh yeah, looking good. Any other questions?

Have you guys relocated to the temporary location? How's that working out? Yeah, we've been there week and a half. Yeah, it's working out well. Um haven't run any any issues. Uh we've got guys that are sleeping in the parts department. So, but yeah, we've got two beds in the parts department and then uh you know, there was a number of offices there. So, um, we've turned those into a couple bedrooms and one of them I snagged for an office, but, uh, yeah, so far haven't had any issues as as far as responding to incidents or anything like that. So, excellent. It's been good. It's better than a camper or a construction trailer. So,

great. Thanks, Chief.

And then, um, I guess I did also want to just mention the next council meeting is on May 4th. Um there are several of us that have obligations on that Monday. Um myself and Teresa are going to be at the senior scholarship awards night and Brad's going to be there and Andrew and Brad are playing each other in baseball, I think, too. So, um I I guess I have I kind of didn't want to I felt like maybe there wasn't enough people quite to make the meeting. So, there's a couple recommendations. I think if we moved it to five, if that were feasible, I don't foresee the agenda to be extensive, that we could probably get it done and then everybody could move on or we can move it to a Tuesday or we can cancel it. Um I don't again I don't see anything pressing but u usually what happens for people if we do cancel it um then you'll get double the appropriations at the next meeting. So I I'll let you guys decide what you what you would rather do. Either will work for me.

Yes, I do. I'm open, too. I'm flexible. Okay. Can you uh What time do we play, Jeff? I got I got a new text today that one of my other ones is moving. So, uh I think that we had initially I think that they had rescheduled you and I for 8. Yeah. Um this the awards night starts at 6. If we have an agenda that's not very long, I don't see any reason that we those that need to attend awards night couldn't be out of here in time to make that and then you and I can change into jerseys later.

You got to love Smalltown City Council where the baseball coaches and the high school uh uh awards night and everything is is coinciding. I I will say that I'll be flexible, too. If we need to do five, we'll just we'll work we'll make it work. Okay, let's plan for five o'clock event on this one meeting. And um I I think we I don't see anything on the agenda now. So buying anything crazy. Uh that's all I have. Yep. You want to report anything for the city clerk? I don't think I have anything on her behalf. All right. City councelor.

Uh I'll be brief just so we can keep this council or this meeting moving. Um a lot of the legal things that I've been working on are kind of pushed to the side with the priority being the roundabout. Um securing temporary construction easements. um been in regular communication with the people that are affected by the construction easements. It's primarily the intersection or the roadway between Casey's and Taco Bell. Then you have Casey's and Taco Bell. Um good news is McDonald's was initially um going we were going to need a temporary construction easement in front of McDonald's. Uh Kate and I and Jeff met with representatives from McDonald's um last week and they have agreed what they were going to do instead of offering up the temporary construction easement. They're actually going to extend their work when they do their rebuild and they are going to build for us or extend our their sidewalk and ADA ramp and curb. Um they're going to include what was in our temporary construction easement as part of their work when they do their rebuild, which makes us happy on the legal end, makes Mo happy happy because now we don't have to secure that and supply that to the city. So that was good news and um really nice of McDonald's to work with us trying to get that project done. They've been a good partner in this whole thing, which is really nice.

It was fertuitous that they were building at the same time. Yeah, that's all I've got, Mr. Mayor. Okay. Thank you. Um, anyone have anything under miscellaneous?

I do, mayor. Um, last weekend I went out to uh uh Maple Street and um I know there's a an interesting email that went out, but I wanted to go look at it. um 1,200 uh right around 1,2 something maple. Uh obviously there is no curbs there. Um and there is definitely a water flooding and sitting in the street problem and uh it does go into directly into somebody's garage. So uh we talked last weekend, Barry and I uh went over. We were just looking cuz he stopped by. And I'm telling you, I I don't think curbs would actually fix the problem that's going on with that street. Um I I don't know what's going to fix that street. So, uh I don't know if there's some way we can get Mo to look at it or or I don't know, somebody else that knows something better than I do. But if you go to Maple, it dips in the very center. So if you look up and down the street, it's a U. And at the very middle of that is somebody's garage below ground level. And it literally just takes all of the water from the street down into his garage. And I don't I don't physically know what can be done to to correct this issue. Um, obviously we've got some people complaining in the in my ward over this issue. Um, but I I don't think that fixing curbs is a simple solution. I don't think the curbs would actually fix anything to be honest. Um, so I'm just asking if there's any way we can have somebody look at it and see if

there's a solution that can be can be done. I don't know. Uh the only thing I was thinking was maybe somehow get some kind of storm drain there. Uh but to build it, there's nowhere to take the water. Is this a new issue? That's what like to me it doesn't sound like it's a street issue. It sounds like it's a house elevation when they built it issue.

It's a house settling issue. And on top of that, it just the garage settled so far down below the street and it happens to be in the very center of the low point of the street. And I'm telling you, the water just goes directly into his garage. And s if I can interject just for a second because that round of emails and I think one of the most recent ones was forwarded to multiple council people. Those emails have now been forwarded to me and my department. So, I was going to review those um and respond to the individual. One of the concerns was it's it basically became a sunshine law request for documentation or anything else that we had in the city, but

trying to uncover some of that information is going to predate any digital records. And so, um I from the legal department, we're well aware of it now and I think you bring up a good point, but I I don't know that there is going to be a quick fix to solve the problem. um between the city's position and as Whitney had touched on is where the responsibility lies permanently and how would we go about resolving the matter.

I mean just fixing the curbs is not going to fix that. And what the problem is, you know, if it was just curbs, 10,000 $15,000 to fix a cur 250 ft of curbing, but even if you put the curbs there, the water's just going to go over the curb. It is that kind of low. uh the whole entire side of that street is just sunk down. It's I'm not sure what a good fix would be for that. So, um yeah, I know there's sunshine laws about, you know, how far back we would warranty, but I don't think there's a good fix. I don't think it's just curves. But yeah, I I Anyways, I wanted to bring that to light

and that that's why I spoke up because I I need to look at where we are with what requests have been made and what we could produce. But, um, I think it's going to be a much longer process than, hey, let's go do this. I think it's going to be a conversation with with Jeff in public works. Is there anything that could solve it? And if so, how do we go about it? But I wanted to speak before the council, let you know that I've now received the emails. I'm looking at them. I'm going to respond to the individual so that he knows that we are at least looking at it.

Okay. That's all I wanted to bring up. And I and I appreciate you guys' time. I really looking at it and I do a lot in construction uh with my job and and just looking at it and the way everything has to drain. There's no quick solution for that. So, anything else under miscellaneous. Okay. I think I'd be open for a motion to adjurnn. Motion to adjurnn. Not everyone.
