YOU GUYS HAVE COUNTLESS HOURS, TIME, EFFORT, AND ENERGY INTO TRYING TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR THE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AND I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS GET TOLD THAT VERY OFTEN. FOR 20 YEARS, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE STAFF MEMBER IN THE BACK WITH THE LAPTOP NOT SHARPLY AS DRESSED AS THEM, BUT MY JOB AT THAT POINT WAS TO PROVIDE Y'ALL WITH OR THE COUNCIL AND MY LEADERSHIP CITY MANAGER AS WELL, THE CORRECT AND ACCURATE INFORMATION SO THAT THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS WHAT DIRECTION THE COMMUNITY IS HEADED BASED OFF THE DECISIONS MADE ON THE DAIS.

YET SOMETIMES IT JUST COMES OFF AS NOISE, AS GRIPE. BUT BEING IN THE ROOM SOMETIMES WITH THAT DECISION MAKING PROCESS, NOT EVERYBODY SEES WHAT'S BEHIND THE CURTAIN. AND THAT'S JUST TRANSPARENCY. I THINK WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB WITH IT, AND THAT'S JUST COMMUNICATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT PROCESS IS. SO AS Y'ALL GO INTO Y'ALL'S MEETING, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK Y'ALL. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S
