Thank you. That brings us down to public commentary.

Feel free to email me. Glad to talk to you. We do not respond to public commentary. Thank you. We are now at the community feedback section. Trustees, I'd like to call your attention to the community feedback for this evening's meeting. That brings us down to reports of association. Yes.
Thank you. And I believe that brings us down to reports of association.

Any questions, trustees? Looks like you all have been very busy. Thank you for everything you're doing, and we appreciate it. Thank you.

Let me ask the first big question. Can we afford all of these and maintain our above 5%? I just want to say that on the record.
Okay. Thank you very much. Trustee Muhammad? Thank you.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Let's do these one at a time, I guess. For 12.1, approve AFSCME TSP Attentive Agreement. Is there a motion to approve?

Thank you very much. That brings us to 12.2, a motion to approve the AAEAP tentative agreement as presented. Is there a motion?

And finally, that brings us to motion to approve AEA tentative agreement as presented. Is there a motion? So moved. Moved by Vice President Wilkes, supported by Trustee Baskett. Is there discussion? I will say I'm glad we're here, finally, after 200 and some odd days. I'm glad that we got here after having to go through lengthy negotiations and a lot of back and forth and anger on both sides, I'm sure, trying to get to a resolution. And, you know... Although I don't like how long it took, I know we all worked hard to get here, and I'm glad that we reached a resolution that we can at least…
Thank you. All right. That brings us down to items for agenda planning. Do trustees have any items they want added for future agenda planning? Seeing none, that brings us down to items from the board. Do trustees have anything they'd like to share? I have a few things, if you all don't. All right. First thing is, as you all can see, we don't have Trustee Schmidt here. As far as I know, in my three years of being on this board, she has been at pretty much every meeting. She is having some family issues that she is having to tend to. We wish her luck and prayers as she deals with her family…
Anything else, trustees? Trustee Baskett and Trustee Norton?
Thank you, Trustee Baskin. Trustee Norton?
