[1. PROCLAIM APRIL 2022 AS DMV/DONATE LIFE MONTH IN THE CITY OF LA HABRA]

WE'RE GOOD.

WE GO, IF I CAN HAVE A ONE LEGACY AMBASSADOR, MONA CASTRO JOINED ME HERE.

SO, UH, THIS IS FOR DMV DONATE LIFE, CORRECT? LAURIE? YES.

SO ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA, THE CITY COUNCIL, LIKE TO GIVE YOU THIS PROCLAMATION, UH, FOR DMV DONATE LIFE MONTH.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MONA.

AND YOU THE MIC IF YOU'D LIKE TO SAY A FEW THINGS.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

UM, THANK YOU, MAYOR TORONTO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE CITY OF LA BRO.

RIGHT NOW THERE'S OVER 110,000 PEOPLE ON THE WAITING LIST WAITING TO RECEIVE A LIFE SAVING TRANSPLANT.

AND THAT MY CALL TO ACTION TO YOU IS IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY A REGISTERED ORGAN AND TISSUE DONOR, THAT MAYBE YOU CAN CONSIDER IT, TALK TO YOUR FAMILY AND, UH, YOU CAN GO AND DO IT IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR HOME.

NOWADAYS, THINGS ARE DIFFERENT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE DMV JUST TO REGISTER, TO BECOME AN ORGAN DONOR.

YOU CAN GO ON LINE TO DONATE LIFE, WWW DONATE LIFE, CALIFORNIA.ORG, AND BECOME A REGISTERED ORGAN DONOR.

SO MY CONNECTION TO DONATION IS IN THIS PICTURE, HERE IS A PICTURE OF MY DAUGHTER, SARAH AND SARAH WAS BORN WITH SEVERE CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE AND NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE WHEN SHE WAS FIVE WEEKS OLD, SHE RECEIVED A VERY SPECIAL GIFT OF LIFE AND SHE BECAME THE 85TH BABY AT LOMA LINDA TO RECEIVE A HEART TRANSPLANT.

UNDER SIX MONTHS OF AGE, THIS JANUARY, SHE JUST SENT, UH, CELEBRATED 32 YEARS AS A HEART RECIPIENT.

SO THAT'S BIG.

THAT'S A HUGE MILESTONE.

AND ONE OTHER THING IS THAT THE LITTLE GUY IN THE PICTURE IS MY NEPHEW LUCAS.

AND, UM, MY NEPHEW LUCAS WAS BORN WITH SEVERE FOOD ALLERGIES.

AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD A TRAGEDY AND IT WAS THREE YEARS AGO IN MARCH.

UM, WE LOST OUR LITTLE GUY.

HE WAS ABLE TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THREE PEOPLE WITH BOTH OF HIS KIDNEYS AND HIS LIVER.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE SAVED HIS BIG COUSIN'S LIFE BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER WAS IN KIDNEY FAILURE.

HE

[00:05:01]

SO I ENCOURAGE YOU ONCE AGAIN TO CONSIDER BECOMING AN ORGAN DONOR.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT EVEN BE SAVING SOMEBODY IN YOUR OWN FAMILY.

SO WE APPRECIATE THIS.

I HAVE A COUPLE OTHER AMBASSADORS, PETER, HE'S A LONG TIME.

WELL, HE GREW UP HERE IN LA BRUH, AND HE'S A LIVER RECIPIENT AND JOLENE IS A THREE TIME KIDNEY RECIPIENT.

SO PROOF THAT ORGAN DONATION DOES WORK.

THANK YOU.

ARE WE TAKING PHOTOS OR Y'ALL WANT TO HEAR ABSOLUTELY A PHOTOGRAPHER.

THAT'S GOOD.

THANK YOU.

A VERY WORTHY CAUSE I KNOW, I KNOW I'M A, I'M A DONOR AS WELL, SO HOPEFULLY, UH, WELL, IF IT EVER HAPPENS, GOD FORBID, BUT UH, I'M GLAD THAT, UH, THAT IT'S AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE.

THEY DON'T

THEY TAKE GREAT CARE OF OUR PETS, AND I CAN TELL YOU I'VE BEEN A PERSONAL RECIPIENT OF THEIR LOVE.

AND THAT'S WHAT I GOT WHEN I CALLED AN OFFICER TO MY HOUSE WITH A DOG THAT I'D SPENT 16 YEARS WITH AND DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE.

AND IT WAS LIKE, THEY TOOK THEM WITH SO MUCH STYLE AND, AND LOVE, UH, THAT, THAT LIGHTENED MY HEART.

SO I JUST WANT TO TELL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE IN TV LAND, DON'T BE AFRAID TO CALL THE OFFICERS.

THE DOG WILL GO TO A GOOD PLACE AND W WILL BE ADOPTED BY A VETTED GOOD FAMILY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, COUNSELOR.

I BET YOU REFERRING TO ME AS A GOOD LOOKING DOG.

MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, ROB FARRIER FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE EACH YEAR, CONGRESS AND THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE CONSIDER THOUSANDS OF BILLS, MANY OF WHICH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO AFFECT LOCAL GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS TO HELP PROTECT ITS INTERESTS.

THE CITY COUNCIL ANNUALLY ADOPTS A LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM THAT FACILITATES THE CITY'S ABILITY TO EXPRESS SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION FOR STATE AND OR FEDERAL LEGISLATION, OR TO TAKE POSITION ON POLICIES UNDER CONSIDERATION BY REGIONAL AGENCIES LIKE OTTA, AS WELL AS COMMUNICATE ITS POLICY DIRECTION TO STAFF.

NEXT ITEM.

UP ON THE CONSIDERATION.

CALENDAR IS CONSIDER APPROVING AND ADOPTING A RESOLUTION THAT REAFFIRMS CITY OF LA HARBOR RESOLUTION NUMBER 5 9 3, 4 REGARDING THE LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC OR CONSIDER APPROVING AND ADOPTING A RESOLUTION THAT RESCINDS THE CITY OF LAHABRA RESOLUTION NUMBER 5, 9, 3, 4, AND TERMINATES

[00:20:01]

CAN WE GET A STAFF REPORT PLEASE? THANK YOU.

MARIN TORONTO AND CITY COUNCIL.

AGAIN, ROBERT FAILURE FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.

THIS MATTER INVOLVES A CITY COUNCIL POLICY DIRECTION RELATED TO THE REAFFIRMATION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 5 9 3, 4 REGARDING THE LOCAL COVID EMERGENCY DECLARATION OR THE RESCINDMENT OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 5 9 3 4 IN TERMINATION OF THE LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION.

AS THE CITY COUNCIL WILL RECALL ON JANUARY 31ST, 2020, THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECLARED A NATIONWIDE EMERGENCY AND RESPONSE TO CONCERN FOR PUBLIC HEALTH RELATED TO COVID-19 IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH OF THAT YEAR, THE STATE AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS FOLLOWED SUIT AND ON MARCH 16TH, 2020, THE CITY PROCLAIMED THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY HERE IN LA HABRA.

ON THAT SAME DAY, THE CITY COUNCIL RATIFIED THE PROCLAMATION THROUGH ITS APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 5 9 3, 4, PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 8 6 3 0.

THE CITY COUNCIL HAS REVIEWED THE NEED TO AFFIRM THE LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION.

AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 60 DAYS SINCE MARCH TEEN, MARCH 16TH, 2020, MOST RECENTLY RE REAFFIRMING RESOLUTION ON FEBRUARY 7TH, 2022 CONDITIONS RELATED TO COVID-19 CONTINUE TO IMPROVE.

AND THE RATES OF TRANSMISSION AND HOSPITALIZATION HAVE DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM WHAT WAS EXPERIENCED AT THE HEIGHT OF THE EMERGENCY ACCORDINGLY, MOST STATE AND COUNTY HEALTH ORDERS THAT HAD BEEN IN EFFECT IN CALIFORNIA SINCE 2020 HAVE NOW BEEN SUSPENDED IN LIGHT OF THIS STAFF ASKED THE CITY COUNCIL FOR POLICY DIRECTION ON WHETHER TO REAFFIRM OR TERMINATE.

THE LOCAL DECLARATION STAFF HAS REPAIRED TWO RESOLUTIONS TO THAT EFFECT.

ONE DRAFT RESOLUTION REAFFIRMS THE LOCAL HEALTH EMERGENCY AND THE OTHER TERMINATES THE LOCAL HEALTH EMERGENCY STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO TERMINATE THE LOCAL HEALTH EMERGENCY IN THE EVENT, FUTURE PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS RELATED TO COVID-19 OR AN ASSOCIATED VARIANT BECOME A MATTER OF, UH, INCREASED CONCERN OR A FEDERAL STATE OR COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS.

RE-INSTITUTE RESTRICTIONS INTENDED TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH STAFF WOULD NOTIFY THE CITY COUNCIL AND SEEK APPROPRIATE POLICY GUIDANCE.

AT THAT TIME IN THE EVENT, THE CITY COUNCIL TERMINATES THE LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION STAFF WILL RESUME ALL NORMAL BUSINESS PRACTICES THAT HAD BEEN TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC IN THE .

THIS MEANS THE CITY WILL RESUME IT.

THE PRACTICE OF INTERRUPTING SERVICE FOR ITS UTILITY, UH, CUSTOMERS FOR NONPAYMENT, AS WELL AS AGAIN, A APPLY LATE PAYMENT FEES FOR BUSINESS LICENSE RENEWALS.

THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD CALL THAT OTHER TEMPORARY COURTESIES THAT HAD BEEN IMPLEMENTED BY THE CITY DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, SUCH AS THE SUSPENSION OF ENFORCEMENTS OF OVERNIGHT PARKING AND STREET, SWEEPING RESOLUTION RESTRICTIONS, RESUMED NORMAL IN 2021.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.

STAFF'S ABILITY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, ROB.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

THERE IS NO ACTUAL FISCAL IMPACT FROM THE ESTATE.

IF WE, UH, IF WE DO, UH, TERMINATE THESE ORDERS IS CORRECT.

OKAY, MR. MAYOR.

YES, SIR.

THESE ARE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CITIES, UH, TERMINATING THIS IT'S SOME HERE, SOME THERE, UM, MOST OF THEM ARE, UH, THERE ARE A COUPLE THAT I THINK WILL BE A LITTLE SLOWER TO THE, TO THE TABLE.

MOSTLY IN LA COUNTY IN ORANGE COUNTY.

CITIES ARE SLOWLY BUT SURELY RETURNING BACK TO NORMAL.

OKAY.

AND THERE'S NOTHING ADVERSE THAT WE KNOW OF THAT COULD HAPPEN IF WE GO AHEAD AND TURN TERMINATE IT.

UH, NO.

AND IF, IF, AS I MENTIONED, IF THE CONDITIONS WERE TO SOME, UH, DETERIORATE QUICKLY, UM, IT'D BE A SIMPLE ACTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL AT THAT TIME, JUST TO GO BACK TO WHAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, ROB.

YES, SIR.

MR. MAYOR, I'D MAKE A MOTION IF I MAY.

LET'S, UH, LET'S INVITE THE PUBLIC TO TESTIFY FIRST, ALWAYS FIRST.

WE'LL DO THAT.

AND IF YOU PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME OR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO TESTIFY? NO ONE.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL, UH, I'LL OPEN UP FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND, UH, WHAT I, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT ACTUALLY, UH, BEFORE WE, UH, BEFORE WE GO FORWARD THAT, UH, YEAH, IT DOES SEEM LIKE WE ARE, UH, WE ARE COMING OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC TO SOME, UH, TO SOME GOOD DEGREE, UH, AND I'M I'M OF THE, UH, THE MINDSET IN MY BOOK, UH, TO, UH, TO RESEND THE, UH, THE RESOLUTION AND, UH, AND LET'S GET BACK TO LIVING THE WAY WE WERE BEFORE.

AND IF WE NEEDED TO, I THINK THAT, UH, THAT WE CAN, UH, GET BACK TO THE EMERGENCY ORDER IF NECESSARY.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF A DECISION MIGHT TAKE I'LL LEAVE IT OPEN

[00:25:01]

IF YOU'D LIKE MR. MAYOR, I'D MOVE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA, CALIFORNIA.

WE'RE SENDING RESOLUTION NUMBER 5, 9, 3, 4, AND TERMINATING THE DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, DECLARATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY.

SECOND COUNSEL, PLEASE VOTE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

VERY GOOD.

UH, WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM STAFF, NONE IN MR. MAYOR,

[ COMMENTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS:]

UH, I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE, UH, IN A JOURNEY MEMORY OF A SISTER, KATHLEEN MARIE.

SHE WAS A LONG TIME PRINCIPAL AT OUR LADY GUADALUPE CHURCH, UH, WAS DEEPLY VESTED IN OUR COMMUNITY JUST TO FAVORITE BY EVERYONE HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

UH, EVEN AFTER SHE LEFT, UH, OUR LADY GUADALUPE, UH, SHE HAD DEEP ROOTS HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

JUST LOVED OUR COMMUNITY WITH ALL, WITH ALL OUR HEART AND ALL OUR SOUL, UH, SHE'S GREATLY GOING TO BE MISSED.

AND I KNOW OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY WITH IT, SOMEBODY IN OUR AUDIENCE.

I DID NOTICE THIS HERE IS, IS MIKE SWINDELL.

HE'S OUT IN THE AUDIENCE.

AND MIKE, I KNOW LAURIE HAS ANNOUNCED HER RETIREMENT AND SHE'S GOT ANOTHER MEETING TO BE AT, BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS SUPPORTING HER AND COMING OUT TO COMMUNITY EVENTS AND A LARGE PART OF HER SUCCESS IS BECAUSE OF YOU'VE RE SO SUPPORTIVE.

AND, UM, LET ME JUST SAY SHE LEFT HER MARK HERE.

IF SHE FOLLOWS SHERRY APODACA AND TAMMY MASON, THOSE ARE BIG SHOES TO FILL, BUT SHE MADE A ROAD FOR HER OWN AND SHE

[00:40:01]

UH, SO THANK YOU, MIKE, FOR LOANING HER TO US FOR SO MANY YEARS, AND WE'RE REALLY GONNA MISS HER AND YOU AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU WERE A FAMILIAR FACE IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL.

ANYONE ELSE? I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT, UH, WE ARE VERY SADDENED BY SISTER KATHLEEN MARINE'S PASSING.

UH, I GOT THE INFORMATION ON SATURDAY AND, UH, SHE WAS, UH, UH, AS JIM SAID, THE PRINCIPAL AT OLG, OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE, MY SON WENT TO SCHOOL THERE FROM FIRST TO EIGHTH GRADE.

UH, SO I WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH HER.

UM, AND SHE ALSO WENT TO THE SAME HAIRSTYLIST THAT I DID, UH, EV BUT SHE DRIVE FROM COSTA MESA, 90 YEARS OLD DRIVE FROM COSTA MESA, ALL THE WAY TO LAHABRA EVERY FRIDAY TO GET HER HAIR APPOINTMENT DONE.

AND SOMETIMES SHE WOULD WAIT, UH, CAUSE I WOULD HAVE MY APPOINTMENT DIRECTLY AFTER HERS AND SHE'D WAIT TO SAY HI.

AND, UH, I DID A TENDER JUBILATION CELEBRATION AS WELL.

UM, AND, UH, SHE ACTUALLY, SHE HAD SAID THAT SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER ALL THE KIDS' NAMES AT THE SCHOOL, BUT SHE THEY'RE ALL HER CHILDREN AND SHE WOULD PRAY FOR ALL OF THEM.

SO SHE IS DEEPLY MISSED THAT I'D LIKE TO THANK JIM AND BECAUSE, UM, I BELIEVE THAT SHE HAD MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, THAT LAHABRA IS, IS IN HER HEART ALL THE TIME.

AND, AND JIM ACTUALLY SUBSCRIBED TO THE OLD HARBOR JOURNALS SO SHE COULD HAVE IT, EVEN IF SHE WAS LIVING IN COSTA MESA, SHE WOULD GET THE PUBLICATION FROM IT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN LA BARBARA.

AND SHE HAD JUST RECENTLY ASKED ME TO BE HER FRIEND ON FACEBOOK.

AND I WAS, I SAID, YES, I HAVE TO MIND MY P'S AND Q'S AND ALL THAT STUFF WITH SISTER KATHLEEN.

BUT, UH, UH, I JUST ENJOYED MEETING HER AND TALKING TO HER AND I KNOW SHE IS JUST A LIGHT OF POINT OF LIGHT UP THERE IN HEAVEN.

SO, UM, GOD BLESS HER AND, AND HER FAMILY.

YEAH.

I'D LIKE TO SAY, I WISH I'D HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING SISTER KATHLEEN, AND SHE SOUNDS LIKE AN EXTRAORDINARY HUMAN BEING, AND I'M VERY SORRY THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS HAD THIS LOSS.

I TRULY AM.

AND THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE TO SAY ABOUT LORI.

I JUST FEEL KIND OF SELFISH AND THE FACT THAT I JUST CAME ON AND NOW SHE'S GOING, AND I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU FURTHER, LORI.

BUT AGAIN, I'M VERY HAPPY FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER OF YOUR LIFE.

YOU KNOW, THE CHAPTER YOU'LL SHARE WITH MIKE.

AND SO, BUT JUST KNOW ALREADY YOU'RE GOING TO BE REALLY MISSED.

I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I HAD THE HONOR OF ATTENDING MY FIRST POLICE SWEARING IN CEREMONY ON MARCH 28TH.

IT WAS OFFICER BETANCOURT WHO JOINED OUR DEPARTMENT.

UM, THAT IS CORRECT.

ISN'T IT BETANCOURT? NICE GUY.

AND INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, HE CAME FROM THE HONOLULU POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHY SOMEBODY WOULD LEAVE HAWAII FIVE-O AND COME TO A HARBOR NECESSARILY.

BUT, UH, THIS IS WHY WE HAVE BEACH BOULEVARD.

I KNOW.

SO IT'S EITHER THAT BEACH OR THIS BEACH.

RIGHT.

SO, BUT WELCOME OFFICER BETANCOURT.

IT'S IT'S, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY, MR. MAYOR.

UM, I TOO HAVE A FEW COMMENTS.

SISTER, KATHLEEN MURRAY DIED OF A CAR ACCIDENT ON MARCH 31ST IN ORANGE COUNTY.

AND SHE'S GOING TO HAVE HER FUNERAL MASS AT HOLY FAMILY, CATHOLIC CHURCH IN ORANGE.

UM, DARREN, YOU SAID YOU WISHED YOU COULD HAVE MET HER.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN CHASTISED SEVERELY BY HER CONSTANTLY.

SO SHE WAS TOUGH, TOUGH LADY.

UH, I WAS NOT A CATHOLIC, BUT KNEW HER WELL, HER IN FATHER MCCARTHY.

AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE SISTER, KATHLEEN MARIE WAS TOUGH.

SHE WAS A GREAT, UM, PRINCIPAL AND, UH, KIDS GOT A HECK OF AN EDUCATION WHEN THEY WENT THROUGH HER SCHOOL.

UM, ALSO, UM, YOU SAID THAT YOU WENT THROUGH THE FIRST SWEARING IN CEREMONY, POLICE WEARING YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT YOUR OWN.

AND THEN LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY ANYBODY FROM HAWAII WOULD LOVE TO BE EMPLOYED AS A POLICE OFFICER IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

YOU PROBABLY GOT A HUNDRED PERCENT PAY INCREASE, AND THE COST OF LIVING GOES DOWN.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE, YOU THINK GASOLINE IS HIGH HERE AND CHECK THE PRICE IN HAWAII.

SO HE SHOULD BE VERY PLEASED.

YEAH.

ANYWAY, UH, I ALSO GOT TO ATTEND A FUNDRAISER ROSE'S HOUSE AND IT WAS DONE WELL AND ROSIE, WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU.

UM, YOU'RE LIKE A SISTER TO ALL OF US HERE.

THAT'S WHY WE PICK ON YOU SO MUCH.

SO ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY, MR. MAYOR, THANK YOU VERY WELL.

I'D LIKE TO REPORT OUT THAT, UH, I ATTENDED THE CITY OF FULLERTON STATE OF THE CITY, UH, LAST WEEK, UH, PUT ON BY THE NORTH ORANGE COUNTY CHAMBER OVER AT CAL STATE FULLERTON GOT TO MEET, UH,

[00:45:01]

IT WAS A QUITE AN EVENT PUT ON AT THE STUDENT UNION.

IT WAS A, A BIT OF A, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE WORD, BUT A BIT OF A NIGHTMARE STEPPING FOOT ON MY FORMER CAMPUS.

UH, I HAVE THOSE DREAMS SOMETIMES THAT, UH, THAT I MISSED THE CLASS AND, UH, THAT I WASN'T GOING TO GRADUATE, BUT, UH, YEAH, I WAS ABLE TO WAKE UP ON THAT ONE.

THAT WAS A VERY GOOD EVENT PUT ON BY THE, UH, ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS CHAMBER.

SO, UH, MET THE PRESIDENT THERE IN THE HEAD, UH, HAD GREAT CONVERSATION.

UH, MATTER OF FACT, WE FOLLOWED UP, UH, THIS PAST WEEKEND FOR, FOR ALMOST A GOOD HOUR, UH, WITH THEM, UM, TALKING ABOUT SOME THINGS REGIONALLY.

SO, UH, THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING.

UH, ALSO ATTENDED THE, UH, THE POLICE WARRING IN, UH, FOR OFFICER BENTON COURT, WHICH WAS, UH, UH, VERY NICE.

I KNOW HE HAD HIS, UH, HIS WIFE AND HIS DAUGHTER HERE IN ATTENDANCE AND, UH, HIS, UH, HIS DAUGHTER WHILE HE WAS BEING SWORN IN, WAS ALSO BEING SWORN IN BECAUSE SHE HAD HER HAND UP RIGHT NEXT TO HIM AND IT WAS THE BEST THING YOU'LL EVER SEE AND, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, QUITE A, QUITE A THING, UH, TO SEE WHEN SOMEBODY GETS SWORN IN.
