Liliana consistently demonstrates outstanding citizenship, strong moral character, and a genuine commitment to serving others within the school community. A recent example of her contribution to her classroom occurred during a group reading activity. She noticed that a classmate was struggling and becoming discouraged. She quietly offered support by helping the classmate to recognize he wasn't alone and not the only student struggling. She encouraged him to celebrate his small successes.

Um, thanks for being good examples to us

adults. Now, we would like to take your picture. So, um if you would wouldn't mind joining us in the rotunda, the council will come out and we'll take a picture, which we usually send to the newspaper and put on our social media. So, um parents, you can take some pictures as well. We'll just take a little break in the meeting and go take a picture. What's the boss? She was dancing. She was explaining this. She was nervous and judge her. It's

25 hours. Hey, what did you do?

That was cute. I thought, how did she get her hair like that? It's like a high skater for the Olympics, which I love about the Olympics. We'll be out there tonight. We're going to move on to item four, our public comment period. This is the time for the public to address the council. We ask that you state your name into the microphone. You keep your comments to 3 minutes or less and then you sign the paper by Shiloh. Loretta keeps track of the time. When the time is up, the it'll pop up on the screen saying your time is up and then there'll be an audible alarm with about 5 to 10 seconds after the alarm goes off. You can hurry and finish your comments and then the microphone shuts off. So, the time is now the Publix.

Okay, seeing no one come forward, I will close the public comment period. We'll move on to item five, which is the America 250 library monument refurbishment. This is presented by Chase Randall, the library director. Good evening, council. Um, so I'm coming. So, as we're gearing up for um, America 250, we have we have a couple projects that are happening at the library. Thought that I thought it would be great to update the council and the community on. Um, the first thing is that so for America 250, the Andrew Carnegie Foundation offered a gift to all libraries across the nation that were originally founded as Carnegie libraries back in the early 1900s. And our Twilla City Library was founded as the as the Twilla Carnegie Library. And so we qualified for the gift. And so this earlier this year, they sent us a check for $10,000 of onetime funds as a as a gift um with no conditions, just that we use the money for something good is basically what they told us. So as I was pondering what to do with these one-time funds, um we actually had somebody vandalize our uh pioneer monument in front of the library. And in the process of getting the bids to to to not just clean up that, but then also to do a full refurbishment of our monuments, it came out to just under $10,000. So it was almost perfect. Um, and so we decided to refurbish and restore the monument celebrating our heritage here in Tilla, especially in light of America 250. So next slide. So you can see here the first monument that we're getting ref that we got refurbished was the library mudwall monument that was built in 2009 uh by the Sons of Utah pioneers. And you can see here in the photos uh the before and after of what it looked like before the refurbishment and then after the refurbishment and then also the um the little uh marker identifying that uh Harper Readymix helped build the that

monument. Um, so just to read the text that's on this one, it says that in the year 1854, 1855, the settlers built a mud wall most of the way around the town. The wall began at the corner of West Street and Vine Street intersection and then south to the south side of First South, then east to the east side of First East, then north to the north side of First North, then west to a point about 20 rods east of Main Street where it ended. The mudwall was built to help protect settlers from Indian attacks. The attacks never came due in part to the council given by Brigham tongue to feed the Indians rather than fight them. The only thing that the mud wall was used for was that a number of wolves were shot from the wall at on the southwest corner. We call attention of the reader to the laborious work of building the mud wall. Food was scarce at the time. They had many hardships to contend with in their poverty with houses to build, fencing materials to get out of the canyons, roads and irrigation canals to build and Indians to guard it against it. It should also be remembered that the tools they had to work with were crude and inferior. And then on the other side, so next slide, on the other side of the monument, it explains more. It says, "The work of building the mud wall was done by taxing every able-bodied man to do his share. The wall was 2 and 1/2 ft wide at the base, 1 ft wide at the top, 9 ft high, and each section was 16 ft long. Water was flooded over the ground each night, and a strip on both sides of the wall was plowed to soften the mud. Planks were then set on the edge and held together by long 1 and 3/4 in round pins secured by wooden keys. The wet soil was then shoveled between the planks from both sides with one man tamping the soil. A young boy stretch straw into the mud so it would be less likely to crack as it dried. When the first pair of planks were filled and thoroughly trampled, the next pair were put in place until the top was reached. When the mud dried, the planks were removed. Another section was built as before so that the wall was built section by section. And the rep replica that we have there at the library next to this monument is uh one half size of the original wall. So obviously quite a laborious effort. You can imagine that was a lot of work. And then these next couple slides

highlight um some of the transcript bulletins articles as the original pioneer monument that was put in place the same year that the library was was built. As you can see there, they're lowering in the first part of the monument. Next slide. And then this is a a photo of the artist who's crafting the Pioneer family part of the memorial that I'll talk about in a second. Next slide. So you can see here the before and after of some of the spots that were vandalized. You can see some it was like a rubbed in kind of like a Vaseline or some sort of oily substance onto the onto the monument there. So you can see the before and after. It's quite a stark difference. Um, and so the monument, the the pioneer monument in front has, if you haven't seen it, it has the uh pioneer family. And then on either side, it's flanked by two panels of stone in which are engraved the names of more than 800 men, women, and children who were the original pioneers who settled here in Utah. And there you can see uh a better better picture of what the vandalism looked like with that oily substance that was rubbed in on on that left. And then you can see the before and after we did the restoration. And then there's another piece of the monument of the before and after. And then this is the the this is the after of the main centerpiece statue of the monument. And sculptor Peter Fillerup designed and built the bronze statue using four of his own family members as a model for the statue. And then the next slide you can see before and after. You see very dull just weathered 26 years will will wear on a statue out there in in in the sun and the and the sprinklers and all that. And so you can see the before and after. And it's a lot more striking obviously in person. So, and so this monument was erected by the sons of and daughters of Utah pioneers to memorialize the pioneer men, women, and children who came west between 1849 and 1869. They braved the elements and endured all the provations and hardships incident to the pioneering the wilderness to settle to Willis City.

You can see same thing before and after and the key to how you can read the names on the monuments. So then lastly, this is the the main uh monument and I just like to read this of what the statue symbolizes. Says the base or bottom ring symbolizes the family, the basic unit of our society. The plow represents the industry of man. The wheat is the fruit of his honest labor. The wheel represents our effort to move forward. The father is the head or leader and provider of the family. He provides direction for the future with his hand on the wheel. The mother is located in the center represents the heart of the of the home also teaching and nurturing the family. The boy kneeling at his mother's knee represents the greatest lessons are taught in the home. The girl standing with a book in her hand represents the need for continued education, giving her wisdom and learning in her youth. All of these is the is a family unit. Each unit represents understanding and accepting of its different roles, working together in harmony and peace and progressing towards a brighter day, forward to a brighter day. And then lastly, as as part of our America 250 celebration this Saturday, we're going to be putting uh this mural here in the library, just celebrating America's achievements, highlighting a lot of the big technological innovations that have come from America and our great nation's history that as we finish up our the first 250 years of this great nation that we can hopefully have just as successful, if not better, 250 years after this. So, this mural is not in the library yet, but it'll be hung up this Saturday, April 4th. So, make sure next week to stop by the library to to admire the refurbished monuments as well to see this awesome mural that shows us um starting all the way back obviously the Declaration of Independence and then all the way the the very last kind of big technological thing there is the Starship um rocket test. So, thank you so much and hope to come by the library to check it all out. Thank you.

Thank you.

Great. We'll move on to item six, a public hearing and motion on ordinance 2025-32, an ordinance of Tula City Council amending section 7-9-2 of Tula City Code regarding the parking of recreational vehicles presented by Adrien Day, the police chief. Thank you, council. This is a proposed amendment exception to RV location and use only at homeless shelter facilities. We spoke about this in a work meeting. It has gone through planning commission. There have been quite a few changes. There's a definition for homeless shelter that is from state code. Wording from state code is used. It also includes what a homeless facility is not, including a micro shelter, a behavioral health transition facility, medical facility, and psychiatric facility. And this has changed to a two twoe time frame. for two RVs at the same time in a parking lot that's paved where they're providing meals, showers, the bathroom use and uh unsightly material cannot accumulate garbage or we can use code 844 with code enforcement. and the cost of an inound falls to the facility if if the recreational vehicle is not able to move on its own after 2 weeks. This was brought um this was asked if it's possible by the director of the Tilla County Housing Authority. Uh the homeless shelter Switch Point was in favor of this.

I'm in favor of this because of RVs, the excess RVs of that are being lived in by homeless that seem to be coming from the Salt Lake area mostly. And we tend to sight them as they go from place to place to place and until we get warrants for arrest. And that is one way to handle it. This is another one to give them an opportunity to fix that RV or get where they need to go. And that's why I'm in favor of it. And I can answer any questions you may have. Okay. Any questions or comments?

So, you mentioned some of the facilities that are in favor of this. of all those that apply or that apply to this ordinance, how are we going to notify them of this new change and their requirement to notify the the police department? Like is there that's that's a good question. I I think there's only one facility in town that fits this. Okay. And that's Switch Point. Okay. There aren't any other 501c3s that operate that.

We took we took away the 501c3 off of this. I don't know if it would change it or not, but uh there's no other facility in town that um provides mills even one mill. And this this one is the switch point provides more than one per day. Okay. And we could switch that. It's it's worded providing a meal a day to those staying in the recreational vehicle. That can be three meals and it still fits this facility. As I understand the one on the south end of town does not provide any.

Okay. Any other questions or comments?

Thanks, Chief. This item has a public hearing. We invite the public to address the council. We ask that you state your name into the mic. Keep your comments to 3 minutes or less and then sign the paper by Shiloh. Once again, there'll be an audible alarm letting you know that your time is up and then the mic will shut off shortly after. The time is now the public's. Okay, seeing no one come forward, I will close the public hearing and I will entertain a motion. Uh Mr. Mr. Chair, I make a motion we approve ordinance 2025-32, an ordinance of the Tula City Council amending section 7-9-2 of the tool city code regarding the parking of recreational vehicles.

I'll second it. We have a motion from Councilman Hansen and a second from Councilman Gossit. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman McCall, I. Councilman Hansen, hi. Councilwoman Gochas, hi. Councilman Gossit, hi. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Item seven is a public hearing and motion on ordinance 2026-07, an ordinance of Twilla City amending Twilla City Code section 7-26-3 regarding water rights exactions presented by Paul Hansen, the city engineer.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and councel. This is an item that you've seen previously both in business sessions and work sessions regarding allowing the city little additional discretion in how we look at water rights that may be brought to the city. For the public that may be attending or online, the city has required the exaction of water rights since 1998. This change does not change the quantity or does not change any of those obligations. It purely allows the city to further review the quality, the quantity, and the sufficiency of water rights to make sure that we can supply those in the future. This was taken to planning commission last week because it is a title 7 item and they forwarded it to you with a positive recommendation. Okay, any questions or comments? Okay, thanks Paul. This item also has a public hearing. We invite the public to address the council. Please state your name into the mic. Keep your comments to 3 minutes or less and sign the paper by Shiloh. And once again, following the 3 minutes, there'll be an audible alarm with and then the mic will be shut off. Time is now the public's. Seeing no one come forward, I will close the public hearing and I will entertain a motion. Mr. Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion to approve ordinance 2026-07, an ordinance of the Tula City amending Tula City Code section 7-26-3 regarding water rights exactions.

I'll second. We have a motion from Councilwoman Gochas and a second from Councilman McCall. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman Gossid, I. Councilwoman Gochas, I. Councilman Hansen, I. Councilman McCall, I. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes. Thank you, council. Thanks, Paul. Item eight is a public hearing and motion on ordinance 2026-08, an ordinance of the Twilla City Council amending section 7-4-7 of the Twilla City Code regarding the parking of oper operable motorized vehicles in the front and sideyards of residential properties in single family residential zoning districts. Presented by Andrew Agard, the community development director.

Thank you, Chairman Brady. Members of the city council, you are very familiar with this ordinance amendment and why we are approaching this, but we are amending to city code 7-4-4 parking locations regarding the parking of vehicles and residential zones. We have detected that there are numerous situations in the city where front yards are being turned into automobile storage yards and we are hopeful that this ordinance will help provide some mechanism for Tilla City to respond and enforce these situations. Just for the public's information, we have been dealing with working on this ordinance amendment for quite some time. It did come before the city council on November 5th, 2025, December 3rd, 2025, and March 4th, 2026 in their work session meetings. And it went to the planning commission on March 25th, 2026 for a public hearing. The planning commission did forward to the city council a unanimous and positive recommendation of the proposed amendments. So, I will just jump into the excuse me, the proposal before the council tonight. This uh this language represents everything that we talked about in the previous meetings. I have massaged and rearranged the ordinance in a manner that I hope addresses everything that the city council expressed. And although not a perfect ordinance, I do believe it will help resolve some of the situations we're encountering. We're proposing the addition of section number five, parking of vehicles in residential zones. And it states, "Parking of vehicles shall be limited to the following. a the established driveway into the sideyard adjacent to the driveway, garage, or carport as well as the rear yard. It then states vehicle parking may be permitted in the sideyard opposite to the driveway if the parking complies with the following. Number one, there is

direct access to a detached accessory garage behind the home on the same side of the lot. Number two, the parking spot and access lane are paved as per this code section. Number three, the drive approach meets the requirements of 12 city code 7-8 7-4-8-1 access requirements. And number four, the parking does not otherwise violate any other laws or regulations. Paragraph B, where a garage or carport is not present, parking shall be permitted only on the same sideyard as the driveway. C. Circular drives are exempt from front yard parking restrictions as long as the circular drive complies with the access requirements as found in tool city code 7-4-8. D. All parking areas in the front yard, sideyards, and rear yards should be paved with concrete, asphalt, gravel, pavers, or other similar paving methods. And E. Parking of vehicles shall be prohibited in the front yard area between the inside edge of the driveway and the front corner of the residential structure. See the graphic. And I'm proposing we add figure 7-4-7 to the ordinance as well. It clearly indicates in the gray where parking is permitted. And then it preserves the front yard indicated by the arrow uh parking is not permitted. And there's also an asterisk there, a note stating that if the corner side is adjacent to if the if the garage is adjacent to the street side corner, then uh the same situation would apply. Uh I believe that this will I mean if you look at this graphic, you can see that the city is giving plenty of difference to property owners to utilize their lot and to maintain some private property rights. but also the front yard will help to increase visual aesthetics in neighborhoods and give the city some mechanism and some enforcement

capabilities and situations that have gotten a little out of hand. Um, again, it's not a perfect ordinance, but I believe uh this is a good compromise and and it will it will serve the city well. So, if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer those for you. Okay, any questions or comments? You know, one comment in the planning commission meeting, they talked a lot about different things and there was lots of changes, but the one comment that Wes and Jensen made at the last meeting that, you know, as hard as this ordinance was to try and make something that didn't take away citizens rights plus do something for the city that he felt like it was a really good compromise of the things we're doing. So, and I I feel the same. I just wanted to state that. So,

thank you.

Okay. Thanks, Andrew. This item also has a public hearing. We invite the public to address the council. State your name into the mic. Keep your comments to three minutes or less and then sign the paper by Shiloh. Once the 3 minutes up, there'll be an audible alarm and the mic will shut off after that. The time is now the public's. Seeing no one come forward, I will close the public hearing and I will entertain a motion. I'll make a motion that we uh adopt ordinance 2026-08, an ordinance of Twilla City Council amending section 747 of the Twilla City Code regarding the parking of operable motorized vehicles in the front and sideyards of residential properties and single family residential zoning districts.

I'll second. We have a motion from Councilman Gosset and a second from Councilwoman Goes. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman McCall, I. Councilman Hansen. Hi, Councilwoman Goes. I, Councilman Gosset, I. Councilman Brady, and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Item nine is resolution 2026-16, a resolution of the Tula City Council consenting to the mayor's appointment of William Manaso to the Tilla Valley Museum Advisory Board, presented by Marissa Manzion, Mayor.

Thank you, council. Um, our museum advisory board has a few vacancies and Mr. Mr. Manaso has expressed um interest in serving on that board. He is here tonight, gentleman back here. So appreciative of his volunteering for that. It's for a three-year term. I just wanted to tell you a little bit about Mr. Manaso. I was impressed by what he wrote when he sent it in. His family are uh his mother's family were pioneers that came to the Tula Valley and his the small cabin that sits at the door of the Utah Pioneers Museum was actually the home of his family when they moved to Pine Canyon. So I thought that was kind of cool. and um his one of his grandfathers worked in on the mining railroad and worked at the office that is now at the railroad museum. So kind of cool. And um his father's family also lived here uh spent settled in of moonlighted as a deputy sheriff and a corrections officer. So his long history in Tilla and I was impressed with he wrote I want to preserve the history and tales that make our community what it is and I would love to see pride in Tilla become what it once was. We have so many new families that don't really know how rich and deep the history and heritage of our city goes. If I can help compile, preserve, and display that to the new members of our city and county, then I can keep the stories of my family and experiences of the community through their lives alive. So, I thought that was pretty awesome and I'm happy to recommend him to serve on the museum board.

Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for being willing to serve. Okay. And I'll see you at the next meeting. Okay. Okay, I'll entertain a motion. Mr. Chair, I make a motion we approve resolution 2026-16, a resolution of the city council concerning to the mayor's appointment of William Manaso to the Tula Valley Museum Advisory Board. I'll second. We have a motion from Councilman Hansen and a second from Councilman McCall. We'll take to a vote. Councilman Gossit. I Councilwoman Goes. Hi. Councilman Hansen. Hi. Councilman McCall. Hi.

I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5. Item 10 is resolution 2026-17, a resolution of the Tula City Council approving an agreement change order number three with Hydro Resources Rocky Mountain, Inc. for drilling of the 2025 Tula City Wells project presented by Nathan Farer, the public works director.

Thank you, council. Uh we talked about this earlier in the work meeting. Again, we will be paying the uh the cost of installing a pretty much an insurance casing uh making sure that our wellhead stays viable. Um but then also increasing our uh contingency fund in the case of other emergencies arising to 23 $223,500. um the if if approved this resolution would have to add that amended to include the contingency and the amount at the end. So if there are any other questions okay any questions or comments?

Okay, I'll entertain a motion. Uh Mr. Mr. Char, I'll make a motion we approve resolution 2026-17, a resolution of the Tula city council approving agreement change order number three with hydro hydro resources Rocky Mountain Incorporated for drilling of the 2025 Tula city well project which includes the approval of the contingency of $223,500. Correct. I'll second. Okay, we have a motion. Councilman Hansen and a second from Councilwoman Goches. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman McCall I. Councilman Hansen. I. Councilwoman Gochas. I. Councilman Gossip.

I. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Item 11 is resolution 2026-18, a resolution of the Tula City Council approving an agreement with Huber Technology LLC for the water reclamation facility solar dryer project. presented by Nathan Far, the public works director.

And you thought I was only asking for a little bit of money tonight. Um, so this is the uh procurement procedure for our turn turner machines that will uh aid our uh solar dryer greenhouse in drying out the bioolids that are left over in the treatment process. Um the lead time on this equipment is 24 to 36 weeks. And so ordering it now makes sense to uh match it to the time when we hope to have the concrete finished on the new floors. So, um, as this is the the opportunity for us to get this equipment and despite the price tag, we are getting a deal on the the third second and third turners. They're giving us a discount on those ones. So, it's a buy two get one free thing. No, I I wish it was that, but we are getting a deal. So,

a lot of money, it doesn't seem It is a lot of money. It is. That's true. So, any other questions? You want to state how much that is just for the Yes. So, Oh, yes. Sorry. Uh the cost for the Turner equipment uh and spare parts and some of the technology that goes to run it is $2,676,167.

It's probably a drop in the bucket for all of the needs we need out there. Got to start somewhere. It it represents a pretty substantial portion of that project, but yeah, it's it's a pretty big portion. So, good. Okay. Any other questions or comments?

Okay, I'll entertain a motion. Mr. Chair, I make a motion that we um approve resolution 2026-18, a resolution of Tula City Council approved an agreement with Herbert Technologies LLC for the water reclamation facility solar drying dryer project and I honestly thought Jamie had left. But um I'm surprised you've proven that much, Dave. But I'll but I'll second it. Yeah. We have a motion from Councilman McCall and a second from Councilman Hansen. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman Gossit. I. Councilwoman Goes. Hi. Councilman Hansen. Hi. Councilman McCall.

I. And Councilman Brady and I vote I. Chair. Could I just interrupt for one second while you're on public works and just recognize that we have hired a new assistant public works director, Patrick Brewer. He's here and thought I'd just make sure you all knew who he was. He just started uh two weeks ago. One week ago. Yeah. Welcome. Thanks. Okay. Then item 11 passed 50-0. Item 12 is resolution 2026-9, a resolution of the Twil city council authorizing the application for and acceptance of the Edward Burn Justice Assistance Grant funding for police department equipment presented by the police chief Adrien Day.

Thank you, council. We've been waiting for this grant to come out. It's been uh stalled for a while and the due date is pretty soon and there's a quick turnover rate. We are getting $22,945 from the federal justice funding that is going to states. And this is from our violent crime data that we submit. There are 17 cities in uh Utah that qualify for this and we're one of them. We plan on uh purchasing a unmanned aircraft system. I can't pronounce the the model. It's an X10 aircraft. It's it's going to take all the funds. It it meets all the requirements. There are certain requirements that are needed in this this grant and it meets all of them. where there's area of emphasis, we're hitting all of them, so we're more likely to get approved and there's no match required for this grant.

Okay, any questions or comments? I'll entertain a motion. I'll make a motion that we uh approve resolution 2026-9, resolution of Tilla City Council, authorizing the application for an acceptance of Edward Burn Justice Assistant grant funding for the police department equipment. Second. We have a motion from Councilman Gossit and a second from Councilman McCall. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman McCall, I. Excuse me. Councilman Hansen, hi. Councilwoman Goches. Hi. Councilman Gossip,

hi. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Item 13 is a resolution 2026-20, a resolution of the Tula City Council approving an interlocal agreement between Tula City and Tula County for the 2026 Edward Burn Justice Assistant Assistance Grant Funds presented by Chief Adrien Day. This grant requires us to enter an MOU with the county we're in to get this grant in our application. They sign it every year. they do not meet the criteria for what they cover their their violent crime doesn't meet any to get any money. There's only four counties in the state where this hits and we're one of them. So, their uh council meeting is is August 7th. They like to go there. So, we have to hit that uh time mark to be able to get this application in on time.

It's April 7th, right? You said August 7th. April 7th, you're correct. Okay. Does that mean they get to use the device or just the way the grant set up, the county has to approve it? Just the way the grants set up, it's doesn't happen very often. Okay. Usually the counties uh are just as violent in in the area. So just just out of comparison, Provo is getting 1,000 more dollars than us and they have 115,000 population. So, shows our violent crime here. Okay, I'll entertain a motion.

Mr. Chair, I make a motion we approve resolution 2026-20, a resolution of the Tula City Council approving an inter local agreement between Tula City and Tula County for the 2026 Edward Burn Justice Assistance Grant Funds. I'll second. We have a motion from Councilman Hansen and a second from Councilman McCall. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman Gossid. Hi. Councilwoman Gochas. Hi. Councilman Hansen. Hi. Councilman McCall. I. And Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Thanks, Chief. Just just a quick question, Chief. Does any um area in Utah get more than two? Two those um

in counties. Yeah. A,000 more than than us. Was it us? We got one. And you said Provo withundred they get 20 24,379. So they're getting a,000 more dollars than us on this grant. About a little more than thousand. And so it be us and then them. Everybody else is between Provo and us. Yes. There's 17 cities and uh see one Salt Lake County. Obviously, Davis County doesn't fit it surprisingly.

And the only reason I was asking is because the the the violent crime if our crime rate is basically according to them uh $1,000 less than say Provo with over 100,000 people means our violating crime is high. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and that's unfortunate. Yeah. That is is is troubling. But no, and that's all I was just get it out there. So hopefully people are watching to know that we need your your you and your people. Appreciate that. Yeah, that's messed up. Yeah. Thanks, Councilman.

Thanks, Chief. Item 14 are invoices and purchase orders presented by Shiloh Baker, the city recorder. Thank you, council. We have two invoices this evening. Um the first is to Ellen Curtis Suns for SCBA packs and bottles for the fire department. That is in the amount of $56,498. The second invoice is to I work. This is the public works department software management and an and support um their annual renewal at a cost of $30,750. Any questions or comments? I will entertain a motion.

Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion to approve the invoices as stated. I'll second. We have a motion from Councilwoman Goes and a second from Councilman Hansen. Uh we'll take it to a vote. Councilman McCall I. Councilman Hansen. I. Councilwoman Gochas. I. Councilman Gosset. Hi. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Thank you.
