YOUR MEETINGS, AND FOR CONTINUING TO HOLD EVENING MEETINGS. WHEN WORKING, PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE IN THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. I THINK SOMETIMES WE TAKE THOSE TWO THINGS FOR GRANTED, AND WE REALLY SHOULDN'T, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE LOOK. I'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN WATCHING WITH SOME DISMAY TO OUR SISTER CITY TO THE EAST AND AND KIND OF THE THREE RING CIRCUS THAT SOME OF THEIR MEETINGS HAVE BECOME. AND THEY'VE, THEY'VE REALLY BECOME A SOURCE OF FRUSTRATION AND CONTROVERSY. AND CITIZENS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM MEETINGS BY ARMED POLICE OFFICERS DURING PUBLIC COMMENT AND, AND, AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE NEWS HAPPENING OVER THERE, AS YOU GUYS WELL KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY BEEN TIMES WHEN I'VE DISAGREED WITH THE DECISIONS THAT THIS COUNCIL AND OTHERS HAVE MADE, AND SOMETIMES I'VE DISAGREED STRONGLY.

IN FACT, MAYOR, I REMEMBER DURING ONE OF YOUR FIRST MEETINGS UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP, THERE WAS A KIND OF A CHANGE TO MOVE CITIZEN COMMENTS TO THE TO THE END. AND THAT WAS THAT WAS BROUGHT OUT. I THINK DALLAS BROUGHT THAT OUT. AND YOU GUYS WERE VERY QUICK TO CORRECT COURSE AND MOVE IT BACK UP TO THE TOP WHERE EVERYBODY COULD BE HEARD. AND I, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. I REALLY DO YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT THAT SHOWED WAS YOU GUYS HAD A WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN TO CORRECT COURSE WHEN NEEDED AND TO REALLY BE A PART OF CITIZENS TO COMMENT WHETHER CITIZEN DISAGREES WITH THE COUNCIL OR, OR WHETHER THEY AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH YOU GUYS. PEOPLE DESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD BY THEIR GOVERNMENT IN AN OPEN, RESPECTFUL SETTING. AND YOU GUYS HAVE PROVIDED THAT.AND AND FOR THAT, I SIMPLY SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU. JEFF.

TOGETHER FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE CITIZENS. LET'S GO TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CREATION OF A CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE AND APPROVING THE APPOINTMENT OF PERSONS TO SERVE ON THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE FOR THE PURPOSE OF RENEWING REVIEWING ODESSA HOME RULE CHARTER AND TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL FOR PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY CHARTER. MR. PARKER. OKAY, MAYOR, THIS IS COMING BACK FROM OUR WORK SESSION FROM LAST LAST MEETING. AND THIS RESOLUTION IS A IT'S A PROPOSED DRAFT CREATING A CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE, A PROPOSAL OF SEVEN MEMBERS AND A PROVIDING FOR A TIMELINE TO ACTUALLY MEET BETWEEN MAY AND JULY AND PROVIDE A REPORT TO COUNCIL NO LATER THAN JULY, THE JULY 28TH MEETING. AND AT THAT MEETING, COUNCIL CAN DETERMINE WHETHER IT WISHES TO ORDER AN ELECTION ON PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS FOR THE NOVEMBER OR FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. SO THERE'S A DEADLINE TO CALL AN ELECTION ON FOR THE NOVEMBER UNIFORM ELECTION DATE, THE DEADLINES IN MID-AUGUST. SO THAT WILL GIVE COUNCIL AT LEAST ONE, PROBABLY TWO MEETINGS TO ACTUALLY DECIDE WHETHER TO CALL THE ELECTION OR NOT. SO IT IT'S A PROPOSED RESOLUTION WITH SEVEN MEMBERS, BUT ULTIMATELY IT'S UP TO COUNCIL TO DETERMINE HOW MANY MEMBERS THEY WISH TO APPOINT. AND THE TIMELINES ARE JUST PROPOSALS. IF COUNCIL WISHES TO ALLOW FOR A LONGER PERIOD, THE COUNCIL IS FREE TO DO THAT. WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING IN OUR CHARTER THAT DICTATES ANY KIND OF GUIDELINES THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED, SO COUNCIL CAN APPOINT THE CHARTER COMMITTEE AT ITS IN ITS DISCRETION. THANK YOU, MR. PARKER. GENTLEMEN, ANY QUESTIONS WENT OVER THIS DURING, I THINK THE LAST WORK AGENDA ITEM. WHAT DO YOU DO? A MOTION FIRST TO APPROVE IT AND THEN APPOINT THE. YOU CAN YOU CAN DO YOU CAN DO IT IN A MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE AND APPOINT THE FOLLOWING MEMBERS AND AND JUST JUST WHICHEVER MEMBERS THOSE HAPPEN TO BE. IT COULD BE IT CAN BE DONE IN ONE MOTION. IF COUNCIL WANTS TO DISCUSS THE MEMBERS AND THEN THEN A MOTION COULD BE MADE THAT MOTION TO TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO CREATE THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE AND APPOINT THE THE NAMED MEMBERS TO SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE. THANK JAMES I TO SERVE ON IT. I THINK SO TOO. THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. OKAY. IT'S A REAL GOOD IDEA. LEGAL PART OF IT. AND WE AND I DON'T HAVE MY NOTES FROM. WE DISCUSSED IT AT THE LAST MEETING.

FUNDING THESE PROJECTS AND GETTING THESE PROJECTS DESIGNED AND BUILT. THANK YOU. AARON. GENTLEMAN QUESTIONS. IF NOT, ENTERTAIN A MOTION. OKAY. THIS IS. THIS INCLUDE THE CHANGE IN THE WELL, DOES THIS INCLUDE WHAT WE'RE RECEIVING ANNUALLY FROM THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THAT, SIR. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. SO AND AND WHAT WE CAN DO IS THAT DOES INCLUDE OKAY. SO MAKING SURE. YEAH. AND THEN OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, NEXT YEAR, MOVING FORWARD, WE'RE ABOUT TO ENTER INTO THE BUDGET PROCESS. SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT OKAY, FUTURE PROJECTS. YES, SIR. JUST MAKING SURE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. AND THIS WON'T BE A YELLOW BRICK ROAD. I DON'T THINK SO. MIGHT BE. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION. MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN CANAL.
IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN HANEY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? MOTION. OKAY. THERE WOULD BE SIX FAVOR, ONE OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT. YOU 14.
REVIEW AND APPROVE THE INVESTMENT REPORT. KAYLA. HELLO. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, PLEASE FORGIVE ME. THERE'S A LOT OF WORDS I HAVE TO SAY, SO I'M GOING TO KIND OF READ MY ONE ACT TEACHER WILL BE VERY UPSET WITH ME. SO I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE TO HER. ESPECIALLY WHERE SHE'S WORKING ON IT. OKAY. JUST A LITTLE TECHNICAL GLITCH. YEP. ALL RIGHT. I'LL START.
DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 26, THE CITY OF ODESSA INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO REMAINS STABLE, HIGHLY LIQUID, AND DIVERSIFIED AMONG INVESTMENT POOLS, CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSITS, AND MONEY MARKET ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY INVESTMENT POLICY AND PUBLIC LAW. THERE'S A LOT OF PUBLIC LAW AROUND THIS. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE QUARTER, THE PORTFOLIO BALANCE TOTALED APPROXIMATELY 518.7 MILLION. BY DECEMBER 31ST, 2025, THE PORTFOLIO INCREASED TO 530.6 MILLION. THIS REPRESENTS A NET INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY 11.9 MILLION. THE CITY RECORDED APPROXIMATELY 34.5 MILLION IN ADDITIONS, 27.7 MILLION IN WITHDRAWALS AND GENERATED 5.14 MILLION IN INTEREST INCOME. THE ADDITIONS ARE MAINLY PROPERTY
[00:45:03]
TAX, SALES TAX AND INTEREST. THE WITHDRAWALS ARE DUE TO OPERATING EXPENDITURES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE INVESTMENT REPORT THAT Y'ALL HAVE WAS RECONCILED TO THE GENERAL LEDGER AND THE BANK AND INVESTMENT STATEMENTS. ALL INVESTMENTS ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY'S INVESTMENT POLICY AND THE TEXAS PUBLIC. TEXAS PUBLIC FUNDS INVESTMENT ACT. SO A LOT OF WORK. OVERALL, THE CITY'S INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO REMAINS FINANCIALLY STRONG, CONSERVATIVELY MANAGED, AND POSITIONED TO MAINTAIN LIQUIDITY WHILE MAXIMIZING ALLOWABLE INVESTMENT RETURNS UNDER CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS AND UNDER PUBLIC INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS. NOW, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO BALANCE YOU'RE LOOKING AT. THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT EXCESS OR UNALLOCATED FUNDS IN OUR BUDGET.RATHER, THESE BALANCES REFLECT THE CITY'S TOTAL CASH AND INVESTMENT HOLDINGS. THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN FUND BALANCE. THIS IS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT ONGOING OBLIGATIONS, OPERATIONS, CAPITAL PROJECTS, DEBT REQUIREMENTS, AND THE RESERVES ARE REQUIRED TO KEEP ON HAND.
BECAUSE MUNICIPAL REVENUES ARE COLLECTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WHILE EXPENDITURES OCCUR CONTINUOUSLY, THE CITY MAINTAINS SUFFICIENT CASH AND INVESTMENTS TO ENSURE LIQUIDITY, OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE FINANCIAL AND LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. MUCH OF THE CASH YOU'RE SEEING IN YOUR REPORT IS ASSOCIATED SPECIFICALLY TO PROJECTS BOND FUNDS LEGALLY RESTRICTED FOR FUNDS THAT ARE LEGALLY RESTRICTED FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES, AND THEY CANNOT BE REDIRECTED FOR GENERAL SPENDING WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OR LEGAL COMPLIANCE. EXAMPLE, WE HAVE TO STAY WITHIN OUR BUDGET. ACCORDINGLY. THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO SHOULD BE REVIEWED AS THE CITY'S MANAGED CASH POSITION AND RESERVE STRUCTURE, THEN AVAILABLE SURPLUS FUNDS. SO ESSENTIALLY, WE ARE VERY GOOD WITH OUR CASH FLOW. OUR CASH FLOW IS IN GREAT CONDITION. PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE MAINTAINED AS CONSERVATIVE BUDGET, WE STICK TO THAT BUDGET, AND THAT'S HOW YOU GROW THOSE CASH BALANCES AND OUR INVESTMENTS. THAT WAS A LOT OF WORDS THERE. ANY QUESTIONS? SO LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION. START WITH SO THE INTEREST THAT'S EARNED IS IT JUST GO BACK INTO THE GENERAL ACCOUNT. IT GOES BACK INTO THE ACCOUNT THAT IT CAME FROM. AND LET ME EXPLAIN WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT. WE HAVE SOME ACCOUNTS THAT ARE POOLED ACCOUNTS, RIGHT. THAT THEY ARE USED FOR ALL ACROSS THE CITY.
WHEN THOSE REVENUES, WHEN THAT INTEREST COMES IN THERE, WE ALLOCATE THOSE OUT TO THE FUNDS GENERAL FUND, WATER SEWER FUND, THE DIFFERENT FUNDS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF CASH THEY HAVE ASSIGNED TO THEM IN SAID POOL. THERE ARE SOME OF THESE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE BOND ACCOUNTS, SO THE INTEREST WE GET FROM THAT STAYS IN THAT BOND ACCOUNT. IN SITUATIONS LIKE THAT, THE MAJORITY OF THE INTEREST IS FOR CITY USE AS NEEDED. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN INTEREST NECESSARILY OUT OF THOSE NOT WE REALLY HAVEN'T. GIVEN QUESTIONS. I SEE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT REPORT. THANK YOU ALL. THAT'S A NICE REPORT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.
DO WE NEED DO WE NEED TO APPROVE THIS INVESTMENT REPORT. THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ON HERE.
YES. I NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. WE HAVE A MOTION FOR ME. SO MOVED MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HANEY. IS THERE A SECOND SECOND SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CANAL. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION UNANIMOUS. ALL RIGHT. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 15. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ALL CITY OF ODESSA COMMISSIONS AND BOARD MEMBERS, INCLUDING APPOINTMENT, REAPPOINTMENT, REMOVING OR MODIFICATION, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING. LET'S START WITH ANIMAL SHELTER ADVISORY COMMITTEE. YES, MAYOR. COUNCIL, I SPOKE TO DOCTOR HENRY WHITE, WHO'S RETIRED, BUT HE'S ALSO HE WISHES TO CONTINUE. CONTINUE TO SERVE IF COUNCIL SO WISHES. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG HE SERVED? NO. I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION AND SEND THAT TO YOU. YEAH. LOOK, I THINK THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. EVERYBODY SHOULD SERVE A WHILE AND LET SOMEBODY ELSE SERVE JUST TO KEEP THE BLOOD FRESH. AND I TALKED TO I KNOW COUNCIL STOKER AND I DISCUSSED BECKY BATTERSHELL AND HER HUSBAND ARE BOTH VETS. THEY BOTH HAVE INDICATED TO ME THEY WANT TO HELP THE CITY. AND SO I THINK WE OUGHT TO AT LEAST CONSIDER DOCTOR OR DOCTOR.
BATTERSHELL YEAH, DOCTORS, JUST BECAUSE I DO THINK THERE SHOULD BE NEW BLOOD IN THESE
[00:50:04]
ORGANIZATIONS AFTER EVERYONE SERVED A TIME. SO I'D LIKE TO LET'S LET ME ASK YOU, PUT THEM ON A ROTATION. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT EVERYBODY NEEDS A LOT OF WORK OVER. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK OVER THERE FOR ONE PERSON. I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS JUST THIS IS AN ADVISORY BOARD COMMITTEE. I UNDERSTAND, BUT THERE'S OKAY. BUT THAT STILL. OKAY. SO LET'S WAIT ON THAT ONE. SEE THAT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SORRY. MISUNDERSTOOD. AMY BELL SPORTS FOUNDATION'S OUR SECOND ONE, I THINK DISTRICT ONE. EDDIE, DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION? HAD I ASKED, I'M SORRY. GERALDO ASKED. OH, YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. SO MAKING A MOTION, MR. COUNCIL MEMBER, MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. ALL RIGHT, SO COUNCILMAN MITCHELL'S MADE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. COUNCILMAN STOKER WAS FASTER ON THE DRAW.ON THE SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY. ODESSA HOUSING AUTHORITY MAYOR APPOINTMENTS? YES. MAYOR DEANNA ARELLANO IS WILLING TO SERVE AGAIN IF YOU WISH TO REAPPOINT HER. AND THEN READ US THE ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HOLD OFF. THAT'S RIGHT. YES. OKAY, THEN I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE REAPPOINT DEANNA IANNO TO THE NEXT TERM. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN HANEY? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION UNANIMOUS. MAYOR, DID WE ACTUALLY VOTE ON THE EXCUSE ME FOR BACKING UP TO THE VETERINARIAN POSITION? NO, WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO BATTERSHELL, SEE IF ONE OF THEM WILL SERVE, IF THAT'S WHAT I UNDERSTOOD. YEAH. OKAY. JUST TO GET SOME NEW BLOOD ON THERE, I THINK. I THINK HENRY IS RETIRED.
I THINK HE'S MOVING OR MOVED. I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE. HE SAID, LET ME, LET ME LET ME TELL YOU WHY I'M ASKING THAT. COUNCILMAN O'CONNELL AND I HAVE SERVED ON THE ADVISORY BOARD REPRESENTING THE COUNCIL, AND DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN ON THAT ADVISORY BOARD, THIS GENTLEMAN. MR. HOW DID YOU SAY HIS LAST NAME? I LIED, HE IS JUST I MEAN, I OF COURSE, I DON'T KNOW WHO THE VETERINARIAN PROFESSION, BUT HE IS SO KNOWLEDGEABLE AND OF COURSE, HE HELPED US THROUGH A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT WE WERE CONCERNED WITH, WITH THE ANIMAL SHELTER WHEN IT CAME TO THE SURGERIES AND WHAT HAVE YOU THAT WE NEEDED TO DO. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING AT THAT TIME, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, MR. CONNELL, THAT WE'RE WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM WILLING TO SERVE ON THE BOARD TO HELP US WITH THE NEEDS OUT AT THE ANIMAL SHELTER.
AND I DIDN'T. AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, WHEN THE FORMER DIRECTOR OUT THERE WAS ATTEMPTING TO FIND VETERINARIANS TO COME TO HELP BE A PART OF IT, NO ONE WAS STEPPING UP. WE WERE HAVING TO PAY CONTRACTUALLY PEOPLE TO COME AND DO SOME OF THE SPAYING AND NEUTERING AND ALL THAT KIND OF THING, SO THAT'S THE ONLY CONCERN I WOULD HAVE, IS IF WE FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO SERVE ON THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND REMOVE THIS GENTLEMAN WHO HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE AND IS WILLING TO CONTINUE THAT DOWN THE ROAD, WE MAY LOSE HIM COMPLETELY AND THEN NOT HAVE ANY VETERINARIANS STEP UP IN THE FUTURE. IT'S BEEN A HASSLE.
KIM, CAN WE JUST ADD YOURS, MAYOR, TO THIS COUNCIL? CAN WE ADD TO IT? I DON'T I DON'T BELIEVE SO. WELL THINK SO. I'LL I'LL CORRECT IT. JUST THE ORDINANCE JUST STATES THAT THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MUST BE COMPOSED OF AT LEAST ONE LICENSED VETERINARIAN, ONE COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL OFFICIAL, ONE PERSON WHOSE DUTIES INCLUDE THE DAILY OPERATION OF AN ANIMAL SHELTER, AND ONE REPRESENTATIVE FROM AN ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION. SO IT JUST HAS A GENERAL I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY. IS IT JUST THE FIVE. BUT I WAS THINKING IT OUTLINED THE NUMBER OF OF MEMBERS. THAT'S IT, DOESN'T IT JUST IT JUST DETERMINES IF THEY FIT WITHIN ONE OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS OR, YOU KNOW, IN OTHER WORDS, ONE PERSON WHOSE DUTIES INCLUDE THE DAILY OPERATION OF AN ANIMAL SHELTER. I DON'T KNOW IF ALL THE VETERINARIANS. WELL FULFILL THAT REQUIREMENT OR NOT. THE THE CONCERN I HAVE, AND BECAUSE NONE OF US ARE FOREVER IN ANYTHING THAT WE ARE MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES OR WHATEVER. BUT CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT WE HAVE ALSO HAD A CHANGE OUT OF DIRECTORSHIP THROUGH. YOU'VE ASSIGNED ONE OF YOUR PD IS NOW PD IS NOW OVER ANIMAL CONTROL, RIGHT? YES, SIR. I JUST I JUST I'M JUST BEING PROTECTIVE OF THE REPRESENTATION THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE THAT ACCORDING TO THE BYLAWS OR WHATEVER WE NEED TO HAVE ON BOARD, KNOWING THAT THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS
[00:55:01]
FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS ABOUT NO OTHER VETERINARIANS STEPPING UP TO WILLING TO SERVE THE ANIMAL SHELTER, I DON'T SEE IT. SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. THAT IS FROM A MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE.AND WHAT WE'RE ADDRESSING HERE IS A BOARD COMMITTEE, WHICH IS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. AND I THINK A ROTATION IS FAIR. BUT I'VE WITNESSED THE SAME THING. HE'S HIS CONTRIBUTIONS ARE AMAZING AND CONSISTENT. YEAH. I THOUGHT HE RETIRED. JUST THOUGHT HE'S RETIRED FROM THE PROFESSION. BUT HE'S STILL HERE. OH YES. WELL YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? I THINK WE CAN HAVE TWO.
IS THERE A DOESN'T SAY WE CAN'T DOES IT. OR IT SAYS WE HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE. I'D LIKE TO HAVE NEW BLOOD, BUT I GET RID OF. IF HE'S WILLING TO SERVE, WE'LL MAKE A MOTION. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I MOVE THAT WE. DOCTOR LIED AND CERTAINLY I ALSO. THAT'LL BE MY MOTION, THAT I MOVE THAT WE REAPPOINT HIM BECAUSE HE'S WILLING TO SERVE. BUT I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A SECOND VETERINARIAN ON BOARD. IF IF IT'S OKAY WITHIN THE THE RULES, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS. SO LET'S GO AHEAD. WE GOT A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CANALES, THE FASTEST. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION UNANIMOUS. AND I THINK AT THE SAME TIME WE'LL REACH OUT AND SEE IF WE CAN GET ONE MORE TO SERVE TWO. EXCELLENT. I WELCOME THAT. ALRIGHT. WELL GENTLEMEN, WE'RE JUST ITEM NUMBER 16. OH. AND WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS YOUNG FELLOW RIGHT THERE. THAT TROOP. TROOP STAND UP. WHAT NUMBER ARE YOU, A YOUNG GUY COME TO COME TO THE FRONT OR IS IT PACK OR IS IT TRUE?
