Bats and bees. That's our problem. All right. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Thank you.
All right. For me, October 6th was a fire department and public services open house. That's always a fun annual event. It's almost Steamboat Day's light for the number of people that we get there. Free dinner, if nothing else, but also a good opportunity to talk to the fire department, talk to the public services folks. Meet your neighbors, all of the things. On October 7th, we had a Minnesota Mayors Association meetup at CHS Field in St. Paul. It's really cool. We got a tour behind the scenes and of the inner workings of that. Super cool. On October 8th, we had the Eastern Carver County…
Thank you. He started off with that weird question. I didn't know how to take it. He was showing a house in Kayla's neighborhood. Um, and I was out lit dropping and I knew he was going to be there. So I kind of timed my lit dropping for that neighborhood and went in, talked to him a little bit. And then as I, you know, he had some other people coming in. So I'm like, people are walking up the driveway. I'm going to let you do your thing. And he said, he asked them, do you know who that is? As I was walking out and they were like, Nope. And he's like, so how does that feel? And I'm like, Oh, I…
So just kind of cool that we have a community where that's a thing. And the Carver lion wandering around.
Yeah, it felt really bad for the lion. I've done that and I don't recommend it.
With that, I would entertain a motion to adjourn.

Brent and Andrew will have a little bit of a presentation and then council and I will listen. Um, we're not here to debate and I think you'll go over this in your presentation. We're not here to go back and forth, but we truly want to listen and hear from the community. So. Before I give away the rest of your presentation, why don't you take it away?
Any questions before we get into this. Okay, this is 1 of those things that much like truth and taxation by this point, we have seen this more than just a couple of times. So, um.

Did anybody think of anything or not get a, feel like their original questions were not answered?
