UM, HOPEFULLY EVERYONE LOVES THE NEW FORMAT.
I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO READ AND IT STANDS OUT.
SO, UM, BUT OF COURSE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY, UM, COMMENTS ON IT OR IF IT IS HARD TO READ.
BUT COMING UP IN MARCH, UM, OF COURSE IS OUR RAINER SHINE, UH, LAHABRA RACES.
I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL OUT THERE.
UM, COUNCIL MEMBER MADRANO IS IN THERE REGISTERING TODAY, SO THAT'S EXCITING TO HAVE HIM PARTICIPATE.
WE'RE HOPING THE RAIN OR THE STORM BLOWS THROUGH EARLY IN THE MORNING AND THAT IT WON'T BE TOO WET AND SOGGY OUT THERE, BUT IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT MORNING.
UM, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE OVER 400 REGISTRATIONS, SO WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
OUR GOAL IS 500, SO, UM, WE HAVE TWO MORE DAYS.
WE KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF LAST MINUTE GROUPS COMING IN.
WE HAVE SCHOOL GROUPS AND I BELIEVE GIRLS SOFTBALL IS BRINGING IN A LARGE GROUP, SO WE OH WOW.
WE SHOULD HIT THE 500 MARK, BUT WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOU OUT THERE.
UM, WE'LL BE DOING A GROUP PHOTO AT 7 45 BEFORE THE RACES START RIGHT AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.
SO WE'RE GONNA, UM, TRY TO GET EVERYONE TOGETHER AS PART OF THE CITY OF LAHABRA AND SO HE CAN MEET BY THE STAGE.

IT'S SO GREAT TO BE BACK IN PERSON.
SO THAT'S IT FOR MARCH, OF COURSE FOR APRIL.
WE HAVE A LOT OF EVENTS COMING UP.
UM, ONE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS ARE INVITED TO IS THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY EVENT, AND THAT'S ON THURSDAY, APRIL 6TH.
UH, WE ARE INCLUDING THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS THIS YEAR, SO WE'RE ADDING THREE MORE SCHOOLS, WHICH IS GONNA BE 12 MORE STUDENTS AND THEY'LL HAVE TO DOUBLE UP.
BUT, UM, THE CITY MANAGER HAD A GREAT IDEA AND WANTED TO EXTEND IT TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS TO GET THEM EXCITED ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
AND SO WE THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA IF YOU WANNA STOP BY.
THAT EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE FROM EIGHT 30 TO 1230 AND IT'S A DAY WHERE THEY LEARN ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
THEY MEET WITH THE CITY COUNCIL AND DEPARTMENT HEADS, THEY GET PAIRED UP AND PARTNER AND HAVE A MENTOR, UM, AND LEARN ALL ABOUT THE DIFFERENT, UM, DEPARTMENTS AND HOW CITY GOVERNMENT WORKS.
AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE A MOCK CITY COUNCIL MEETING IN THIS ACTUAL COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
AND, UM, WE'LL HAVE PUBLIC STUDENT, OUR STUDENTS DOING PUBLIC, UM, SPEAKERS CARDS AND UM, DISCUSSING VARIOUS TOPICS.
OUR TOPIC, ACTUALLY, I WAS JUST TALKING TO ANTHONY BEFORE THE MEETING IS GOING TO BE, UM, WHETHER OR NOT HELMETS SHOULD BE, UM, ENFORCED AT OUR SKATE PARK.
UM, IT WAS AN ISSUE THAT CAME BEFORE THE COUNCIL A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
WE'RE FOLLOWING PROTOCOL BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A, A SECURITY GUARD ON SITE.
AND SO THAT, YOU KNOW, PUTS US ON NOTICE RELIABLE CUZ WE'RE STAFFING IT.
UM, HOWEVER, THERE, THERE'S AN ACTIVE SKATEBOARD GROUP
[00:10:01]
THAT FEELS OTHERWISE THEY'RE ADULTS.THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE TO WEAR A HELMET.
UM, AND, BUT IT SETS PRECEDENCE WITH THE YOUNGER KIDS.
SO WE'RE GONNA TACKLE THAT AGENDA ITEM AS PART OF OUR, UM, MOCK CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND WE'LL LET THE STUDENTS, UM, GIVE US THEIR INPUT AND WHAT THEY THINK SHOULD, HOW THE SKATE PART SHOULD BE RUN WITH THE ROLES AND REGULATIONS.
