But we just want to redo those numbers to make sure they're 100%. So, if you could amend your motion, please, to exclude number nine, that would be outstanding.

Second. Any discussion? No. Roll call vote. Carl Jones. Yes. Mackey. Yes. Myers. Yes. Wolf. Yes. Harmon.

Yes. Motion carries. Moving us to the next one. This is the date, time, and place for a public hearing on a lease agreement between the city of Waverly and the Waverly Softball Association, Inc. for the Cedar River Park. The mayor and city council will entertain any comments. After all comments, the hearing will be declared closed and the following action will be considered. Carla, have you received any written or oral comments? I have not, your honor. Are there any public comments? address the podium, please, and uh state your name.

Good evening. My name is Jordan Alboard. I'm here in the capacity as the uh youth baseball board president uh and I wanted to discuss uh tonight sponsorship and essentially uh the uh display of sponsorship signs on city property. Uh, as you might be aware or know, uh, our softball association coordinates the local T-ball, sluggers, recreation, baseball, softball, uh, competitive baseball and softball organizations. Usually, and as part of this lease agreement, uh, part of what we're charged to do is run these programs in a cost-effective manner. Uh to that end, we solicit and uh try to obtain uh sponsorships from various local businesses um and including businesses here in Waverly and outside of Waverly as well. Uh part of that in the past is is that um for certain levels of sponsorships, businesses get a banner hung up out at Cedar River Park or in the past before at previous Fields, Kuanas, etc. Uh you this year uh we entered into a new agreement, a new um sponsorship, a partnership if you will uh with Shield out of Cedar Falls. Uh you may have noticed uh Shields has uh part of that agreement Shield put up some uh cup signs out of Cedar River Park uh which is different than what our normal banners have been. Uh and we were contacted by uh the city that we needed to take that down because it was against essentially the city code. Uh so my uh purpose here is trying to understand um what we can do um or what we can um I guess present to sponsors is what type of u uh signage and or promotions that they can do as part of that agreement. Uh and again keeping in mind that um our ultimate goal here whether it's Shields or another organization like that is to build a partnership that we think uh we

can grow together with and ultimately um all the money that we make as an organization if there is a profit goes right back into the fields and the facilities to improve them. Two of the biggest things we're trying to do are put up shading uh shade out there and also to uh put up um just additional facility netting I guess so that the balls, fly balls, foul balls come out, you know, they're not it's a safety issue. So again, those things cost money that right now we don't have enough to put those two things uh in place. Uh and so a partnership with an organization like Shields, we see a path to being able to do that over time. Um so my ask I guess of the city council is um you know we would really like appreciate the ability to maintain the shield sign uh sign out at Sever Park. Uh and again it's kind of separate from what you're reviewing here with the lease agreement but uh I thought that um since it was kind of timely this would be a good time to to talk about uh talk about that. Any questions?

Can can we respond? Sure. Can you explain what cup signs are? Sure. Uh, so Shields has a certain I guess a specialty cup. It's kind of like a red solo cup but a nicer material and it's stuck into the fence. Oh. And so then it makes the word shields out of several cups. Correct. Like you see it schools. Exactly. Okay. Yes. Correct. Yep. Any other questions? How is Can you I'm more than happy to meet with you, explain why legally you can't do that,

but I'm not going to get into it here in the middle of this hearing set a uh association agreement with us. I don't think that's covered in the agreement, right? But I'm more than happy to sit down and explain it to you why the code the constitution of the state doesn't allow it. Okay. They're basically making profit off of public land as a private organization and that's simply not allowed. Okay. But we can elaborate on that a bit more if you want to come in sit down some time. Let me walk you through it completely.

Okay. Um, so our organization, so I appreciate that response. Um, I guess just trying to understand like where it starts and where it stops because as you know, private businesses gave money to that facility and their names are out there and on display. Um, and so I guess how is that different than what that might be? What the well if if I the way it was explained to me and um is one of the biggest donors out there is that we I gave my money to the city. Right. That's correct. I didn't give it to the ballpark, right? Or to the uh baseball association or the softball associ association. I gave it my money to the city. Okay. And the city in turn used that money. Okay. To develop the the ballpark. Okay. So

I think that's the key difference. Would it make sense then for Shields to have a sponsorship agreement with the city or any other organization for that? They can. Is that option? But I still wouldn't allow something like that on a fence line because it doesn't make any difference as to who it is. Then how much room do you have for someone else wanting the same thing, right? I mean, we're not going to cluster this thing up to where you can't even see it's available. So, it is a public facility. It's not a private facility. Even though you lease the space for practices, etc., it is still not your facility. still a city facility, right? And so to just have one organization that kind of space across there, what's next? Do we have Mary Kay Cosmetics put on there cuz they give money? Do we Where do you draw the line?

Once you start, you simply can't eliminate or stop anyone else from doing the exact same thing regardless of what the content is. That's where we have a different situation than somebody in the private sector would have. We don't have a choice of saying no, you can't do that now because we started it with this group here. So banners I don't have a problem with. Cuff sign is a bit much and I don't know that it's going to be allowed. Okay. All right. Appreciate your time tonight. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks for what you do.

Any other public comments? Seeing none that we will close the public hearing and I'll ask for a motion. I'll move to approve resolution 2677 approving a lease agreement between the city of Waverly and the Waverly Softball Association, Inc. for the Cedar River Park for the sum of $5,000 to be paid by the Waverly Softball Association, Inc. to the city of Waverly by July 1st, 2026 and authorizes the mayor to sign the agreement. Do we have a second? Second. Okay, this is a roll call vote. Carla Mackey, yes. Yes. Myers, yes. Wolf, yes. Harmon, yes. Jones,

yes. Okay, that passes unanimously.

So, next, uh, we have some proclamations that I get to read. So, uh, this is the week of the young child. Whereas the Iowa Association for the Education of Young Children and other local organizations in conjunction with the National Association for the Education of Young Children are celebrating the week of the Young Child, April 11th through the 17th, 2026. And whereas by highlighting the need for highquality early care and education for all children and families within our communities in the state, these groups are committed to the early care and education system in Iowa that will ensure each and every child beginning at birth is healthy and successful. And whereas based on the latest research on brain development and how children learn and what we know about the return on investments in young children, we fully support the need for access to highquality early care and educational services. And whereas the future of our communities and the economy of our state depends on the quality of the early care and education experiences as well as access to the highquality early care and education programs provided to young children today. And whereas we must recognize the vital work performed by early care and education professionals, express our gratitude for their important services, and support efforts to see that they are fairly compensated. Now therefore, I, Brent Jones, Mayor Pro Tim, and the city council of the city of Waverly, Iowa, do hereby proclaim April 11th through 17, 2026 as the week of the young child in Waverly, Iowa.

Are we looking for a motion now? Yeah. Yeah. If you want or you can do both. I move to approve a procla proclamation proclaiming April 11th through the 17th, 2026 as week of the young child in the city of Waverly, Iowa. Second. We have a second. This is a voice vote. All those in favor say I. I.

That passes unanimously. The second proclamation, Arbor Day. Whereas in 1872, the Nebraska Board of Agriculture established a special day to be set aside for the planting of trees. And whereas this holiday called Arbor Day was first observed with the planting of more than 1 million trees in Nebraska. And whereas Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world. And whereas trees can be a solution to combating climate change by reducing the erosion of our precious top soil by wind and water, cutting heating and cooling cost, moderating the temperature, cleaning the air, producing life-giving oxygen, and providing habitat for wildlife. And whereas trees are a renewable resource, giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires, and countless other wood products. And whereas trees in our city increase property values, and has enhance the economic vitality of business areas, and beautify our community. And whereas trees, wherever they are planted, are a s source of joy and spiritual renewal. Now therefore, I, Brent Jones, Mayor Prom, and the city council of the city of Waverly, Iowa, do hereby proclaim April 24th, 2026 as Arbor Day in the city of Waverly, Iowa. And we urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts to protect our trees and woodlands. And further, we urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote the well-being of this and future generations. Move to approve a proclamation proclaiming April 24th, 2026 as Arbor Day in the city of Waverly, Iowa.

Second. All right. Uh let's have a voice vote on that. All those in favor say I. I. All right. Motion carries. Proclamation carries.

Item H, public comments on items not on the agenda. Please limit your comments to 5 minutes unless additional time is granted by the presiding officer. All remarks shall be addressed to the council as a whole and not to any individual member. Do we have anybody that would like to address council tonight? Seeing none, we'll move on. Uh the next item is consent calendar. Would take a motion for this. Move to approve the consent calendar as presented. Second. We have a second. This is a voice vote. All those in favor say I.

I. Motion carries. On to the regular business. Resolution 26-78, a resolution approving a tax increment financing or TIFF rebate to Waverly Historic Lofts LLC. I would entertain a motion. Move to approve resolution 26-78, a resolution approving a tax increment financing rebate to Waverly Historic Lofts LLC for the amount of $996. Second. Second. Do we have any discussion? Seeing none, let's do a roll call vote. Carla Mackey, yes.

Myers, yes. Wolf, yes. Harmon, yes. Jones.

Yes. Motion carries unanimously. We'll move on to the next resolution 26-79, a resolution fixing date for a public hearing on the proposal to enter into a development agreement with Waverly Medical Park LLC and providing for publication of notice thereof. Move to approve resolution 26-79, a resolution fixing April 20th, 2026 at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at city hall as the date, time, and place for a public hearing on the proposal to enter into a development development agreement with Waverly Medical Park LLC and providing the publication of notice thereof.

Second. We have a second. Is there any discussion? Um, just for clarification, am I understanding correctly that basically this is just putting details to the agreement that we approved a couple of years ago?

Yes, ma'am. You recently committed to providing a certain dollar amount for um individual wely medical park to uh gain an award from the IDA for the housing right up there by the soccer complex. And so this actually lays out the detail of what will be expected, what we will do, what they will do as we move forward. Um it takes a while to get these put together of kind if you have any other comments you like to make. Um so we've had our attorneys work through it, made some small adjustments based off the first one that we did. And so as you said, this lays out the detail what will be happening once we get this established. They're already building the houses as was agreed to. This just lays out the compensation and how that moves forward. Thank you. Yes, ma'am. All right, let's have a roll call vote, please.

Myers, yes. Wolf, yes. Harmon, yes. Jones. Yes. Matthew, yes.

All right, that's unanimous. Moving on. Resolution 26-80, the resolution fixing date for a public hearing on the proposal to enter into a development agreement with Downtown Dreamers LLC and providing for publication notice thereof. I'll move to approve resolution 26-80, a resolution fixing April 20th, 2026 at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at city halls, the date, place, and time for a public hearing on the proposal to enter into a development agreement with Downtown Dreamers LLC and providing for publication of notice thereof. Second.

We have a second. Is there any discussion? Same situation, just on a smaller scale. So, all right, let's have a roll call vote. Wolf, yes. Harmon, yes. Jones, yes. Mackey, yes. Myers, yes.

All right, that passes unanimously. On onward resolution 26-81, a resolution approving a proposable a proposal for programmable logic controller PLC hardware upgrade from Primex. an approved proposal for electrical installation hour hourly rates by Tatro Electric, Inc. and authorized the director of public works to sign the proposals. I'll move to approve resolution 26-81, a resolution approving a proposal for programmable logic controller hardware upgrade from Primex in the total amount of $154,189 which includes $119,392 for the PLC, an optional adder for well number seven in the amount of $29,797 and approval of proposal for electrical installation services by Tetro Electric, Inc. for $5,000 and authorize the director of public works to sign the proposals.

Second. Okay, I think we should have some discussion on this. Justin.

So, right around first of the year, I I received notification from Primex, which is a company that does um provide our services for our SCADA system, which basically controls all the wells, the towers, the the sends the pressure um signals back and all the readings back to a a main centralized controller. Um that the equipment that they have, the brand is no longer serviceable. It's end of life they call it. Um, we knew this was coming cuz some of this equipment, some of the was original. You're talking 20 plus years. So, that's we're doing pretty good on stuff we had. And we have been changing them out. We changed well five and well number eight out, but obviously it was not fast enough cuz, uh, they said it was going to be end of life. Now, um, with that being said, um, it's kind of complex because everything goes back to a master control panel, and that's where the issue lies is everything has to be done before the master control panel needs to be changed. So, this is why it needs it's easier to do it in a lump sum versus spreading out over multiple years because then we can just get them knocked off and not have to worry about them any longer.

So, this will update the entire city's system and then we'll be done for. Correct. And like anything with technology, it's constantly changing. Um, the guys that program these, they've all retired and that's the issue they're running into. There's only a handful of guys that actually know how to program the old, it's was US filter systems. Um, so many, many years ago, we started upgrading, but we obviously did not do it fast enough. So, I would like to note well number seven's listed on there as an adder. Um if we do do uh when the new well comes or something needs to be moved that can be moved to the other one and same equipment will apply there so it's not wasted

without that that added on there the well would not run um besides manually basically any other questions guys discussion we need to have it yeah we do Carl Harmon, yes. Jones, yes. Matthew, yes. Myers, yes. Wolf, yes.

All right, that passes unanimously. Number five, resolution 26-82, a resolution approving a statement of work under the master services agreement dated April 29th, 2025 or superseding MSA made by and between Clifton Larson Allen LLP, a CLA, and the city of Waverly, Iowa, and authorizing finance director Valerie Valerie Northrup to sign the so

move to approve. Resolution 26-82, a resolution approving a statement of work under the master services agreement dated April 29, 2025, or superseding MSA made by and between Clifton Larson Allen LLP CLA and the city of Waverly, Iowa, and the authorizing finance director Valerie Northrup to sign the so. Is there any discussion? Pretty straightforward. Yep. Basically outlines what they're going to do in our next audit going forward. And everybody's gone to these engagement letters from our attorneys to auditors, everyone. So, it's becoming more common place. All right. Carl Jones, yes. Mackey, yes. Myers, yes.

Wolf, yes. Harmon, yes.

All right. That passes unanimously. Resolution 26-83. A resolution setting the date for a public hearing on the proposal to convey that portion of the vacated alley in block 48 adjacent to the east half of lot 7 and lots 8 through 16 in Herman and Lali edition in Waverly, Iowa. I move to approve resolution 26-83, a resolution sitting April 20th, 2026 in the city council chambers at city hall at 7:00 p.m. is the date, time, and place for a public hearing on the proposal to convey that portion of the vacated alley in block 48 adjacent to the east half of lot 7 and lots 816 in the Harmon Valley edition in Waverly, Iowa.

Second. Okay, we have a second. I think we've talked about this already, so pretty straightforward. Carla Mackey, yes. Myers, yes. Wolf, yes. Armen, yes. Jones,

yes. That uh is unanimous. Resolution 26-84, a resolution authorizing the redemption of outstanding general obligation bonds series 2015b of the city of Waverly, state of Iowa, dated June 2nd, 2025, and directing notice be given. I'll move to approve resolution 26-84, a resolution authorizing the redemption of outstanding general obligation bonds series 2015b of the city of Waverly state of Iowa dated June 2nd, 2025 and directing notice to be given.

Second. Second, James, a little explanation, please. Um, we're paying off debt early. So, we would have one more payment on this. We're going to pay it down early with proceeds that we have that allow us to do so and that opens up room for the bonds that we're already selling this year later on. So, this helps give us a little more leeway, but we just have the funds and anytime we can do that, pay down debt, uh, we're going to try and do that. So, this will be the final payment early on the 2015 Bonds. Okay, awesome. Save on interest, too. So, Carl Mackey, yes. Myers, yes. Wolf, yes. Harmon, yes. Jones.

Yes. That carries unanimously. Moving on. Resolution 26-85, a resolution approving a project development agreement with Breamer County and approving a professional service services agreement between the city of Waverly and WHKS and Company to begin engineering the replacement of inter urban and Ivanho rail trail bridges. Looking for a motion. Move to approve resolution 26-85, a resolution approving a project development agreement with the Bremer County and approving a professional services agreement between the city of Waverly and WHKS and Company to begin engineering the replacement of inter urban and Ivanho rail trail bridges for the not to exceed amount of $180,000 and at 600 or $180,600. Second

discussion. Just for clarification, I want to make sure I was reading this correctly. So the the reason that we're doing this with the county is because they'll be responsible for the engineering part that has to do with the road. Is that correct? That is correct. Have we uh in the past worked with the county on that on the the rail trail bridge ever before? Normally we don't have coinciding projects. I think the road that runs close to these, there's been a lot of talk about people have hit the peers. It's just a very sharp turn. They're going to try and straighten that out. So, as we engineer the bridges to be replaced above it,

the talk was to jointly then go ahead and do the roadway with it. So, generally, we have not done any kind of joint projects. There's not been an opportunity to do so. Um, this will be one of the few that we do, but uh it will allow the entire project to be done at once. road straightened, figured out, bridges going over a little wider, and hopefully it'll alleviate a lot of the issues that uh happen down there. That makes more sense than to build one of them and mess it up another time, right? I mean, I think it's hit fairly often, Justin, is it not? Correct.

There's a lot of marks on those peers. You can go down and see it. I mean, it's it's been taking some hits, so it's probably good to get that done. And just so the public knows, this would be uh letting in this fall and the actual construction this winter and spring of 27. Yep.

Any other discussion? Seeing none, Carla Myers, yes. Wolf, yes. Carmen, yes. Jones, yes. Mackey, yes. Okay, that passes unanimously. Resolution 26-86, a resolution approving a profession. Excuse me, sir. We pulled that.

Oh, we pulled that one. Excuse me. Okay, we'll skip that. Resolution 26-87, a resolution setting a public hearing for review of two chemical system usage lease agreements between the city of Waverly and ACCO Unlimited for the Waverly Aquatic Center Chemicals. I'll move to approve resolution 26-87, a resolution setting a public hearing for review of two chemical system usage lease agreements between the city of Waverly and ACCCO Unlimited for the Waverly Aquatic Center. Chemicals for $3.28 per gallon of ACCO07-L and $248 per gallon for ACCO liquid chlorinating solution L. both for a term of 48 months for April 20th, 2026 at 7 PM in the city council chambers at city hall as the date, time, and place for said public hearing.

Second. Second. Uh any discussion? Garrett, do you want to discuss real briefly what this is and why we're grabbing it so early?

Bet. Uh so what this is is this is the liquid chlorine and the liquid acid uh for those are the two main pool chemicals that we use. We have other chemicals as well that we uh will get from Ako, but these are the two that uh get delivered about every two weeks uh to us. We've got we've got tanks full uh in the pool. So this is just an agreement with them to uh keep that up, I guess, is the best way to put it. Well, I like the fact that you're locking in a price for 48 months for four years, too. Yeah, because that won't go down. We all know that, right? Right. And you've got a history of working with them. Correct.

Absolutely. Yeah. We've we've been working with them for I don't know the exact amount of years, but I would say the last 15. For sure. Great. All right. Carla Harmon. Yes. Jones. Yes. Mackey. Yes. Myers. Yes. Wolf. Yes.

Okay. That passes unanimously. Resolution 26-88, a resolution setting fees for special events that occur weekly or monthly for an extended period, i.e. a season. Move to approve resolution 26-88, a resolution setting fees of $50 per month for special events that occur weekly or monthly for an extended period, for example, a season. Second. We have a second. This is what we talked about earlier.

Yeah, we were having trouble figuring out, you know, individual rates versus someone that wants to do an entire month at one time and not wanting to charge them every single week. It didn't seem really fair. So, these will be bulk rates for multiple months or an entire season through the summer. I think it looks fair to me. No two cities do it the same at all. Do they? Oh my god. We looked at how many, Carla? Probably 20ome or more. I contacted 90, but I heard back from this many. All over the place. There's no rhyme or reason. There's not. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's fair. Seems to be. Yeah. Uh Carl Jones, yes. Mackey, yes. Myers, yes. Wolf,

yes. Carmen, yes.

Okay, that passes unanimously. We are at the second reading of ordinance 1177, an ordinance vacating the 16 ft wide alleyway running east west between certain lots in block 48 of the Harmon and Lev Valley edition within the city of Waverly, Iowa, and suspend the rules and move directly to the third and final reading of ordinance 1177. Now, before we start, sir, I've been kind of looking through this and wish I'd have caught it a little earlier. I don't know if we can do a rule suspension prior to having the public hearing and complete this third and final reading process before the public hearing has occurred. Do you think that's correct, Carla? I hate to put you on the spot, but

No, I do. We may need to just do the second hearing tonight, the reading of it or the second reading and then have the hearing in the third anyway on the 20th because we have a hearing set earlier in item six for the same thing, I believe. And so I don't know that we can set the hearing and then finish it out before we have the hearing because it states we can do that after public notice and public hearing. So if council would be willing to when they make their motion to leave off the part of uh suspending the rules and moving to a third and final, then we will just table item 13 until the 20th as well. Okay? We don't want to have to come back and redo this all over again.

So let's do it right the first time. Okay. I'll move to approve the second reading of ordinance 1177, an ordinance vacating the 16 foot wide alleyway running east west between certain lots in block 48 of the Harmon and Lavali edition edition within the city of Waverly, Iowa. Second. Okay. Again, this is the alley behind quick the former quick start. So, all right, Carla, roll call vote, please. Mackey. Yes. Myers, yes. Wolf, yes. Harmon, yes. Jones, yes. Okay.

Probably wouldn't mind having a motion to table number 13 till the 20th. We had the public hearing already though, the first reading. We set the public hearing in February. I just remember that. And then we had it on the first reading. So, what is the public hearing we're setting then in item number six? That's for the ordinance. There's This is a lot of moving pieces on this one. It is. And it looks repetitive.

Yeah, cuz I I remember I asked Paige about that several times cuz I was like, "This is kind of messed up." So, um yeah, that's for vacating. And this one is for vacationing, too. They just seem to read the same. That's why I didn't want Oh, it is. I think it's because one is releasing the property and one is for the ordinance. Okay. Does that make sense to you?

It does, but I considering what we've done, I still would want a table 13 till the 20th and we still accomplish it before the end of April, which I think was our ultimate goal. All right. If you're okay with that, council to table item number 13 until the April 20th meeting. I'll second it. Uh, is this a roll call or a voice vote to table? Yeah. Um, we can do roll call if you feel more comfortable, but voice vote is okay. Voice. Okay. Mackey, yes. Wolf, yes. Carmen, yes. Jones,

yes. So that passes unanimously and is tabled until April 20th. Okay. Which brings us to the second reading of ordinance 11 178 an ordinance amending section 105.8 bicycles of the Waverly Municipal Code of Ordinances. We need a motion. I move to approve the second reading of the ordinance 1178 an ordinance amending section 105.8 bicycles of the waiver municipal code of ordinances. Second.

Okay. Does anybody want discussion? It's just a following up what we did earlier. Okay. Seeing no discussion. Roll call vote please. Meyers. Yes. Wolf. Yes. Harmon. Yes. Jones. Yes. Mackey. Yes.

Okay, that passes unanimously. Uh we've also been presented uh reports from boards and commissions. Are there any comments or questions on those? Uh seeing none, it's time for staff updates. Uh since Ann asked about it last week, uh bulky item pickup begins April 20th and runs for that week, April 20th to April 24th. Those are where the items are. Actually, we waved the special pickup fee. You still have to pay the charge to get rid of the items, but we will pick them up. We we ask that you call or email public services to set this up prior so we can get you on the list. Also, yardways pickup runs concurrent with that, but that runs until May 1st. So, April 20th to May 1st, you have it on uh to the edge of the curb on your garbage day. We'll be making rounds pretty regular. If we don't get it, make sure to give us a call. All right.

And uh we are working on getting restrooms opened up. Um watching the weather rest the week. We hope to have those open uh to the public on Monday. So no guarantees yet, but that's the hope. Uh looks like the temps are warming up enough that we can do it. Uh drinking fountains will not be turned on yet. We got to wait a little longer for those. That's all we have tonight, sir. All right. Time for city council comments. Lanna. Um, yeah. I don't have anything tonight. Okay. True. Nothing. Can't do beers with Bard tonight. I've got a rehearsal afterwards for a concert next week. More later. Okay.

Um, April 15th, there's a senior fair at the Waverly Public Library from 10 to 12 where there's um 20 or more agencies in the area that I'll focus on older adults that will be really good for folks to attend. All right. And April, you were our guest council person. Do you have any comments? No, I do not. No. Okay. Just thank you for inviting me.

Yes. Yes. Of course. Uh I would just uh like to take a minute and she's not here, but uh just publicly recognize Dr. Anne for the award she received u through the chamber last I believe it was last week for her volunteerism and commitment to Waverly. She certainly is very deserving of that. uh puts a lot of time in over the years. And I would like to close just uh with echoing former mayor Anderson. Let's just try to be kind to each other and make the world a better place. So with that, I was looking for a motion for adjournment. Move to journ. Need a second. Second.

All those in favor say I. I. I. Meetings.
