Thank you for changing days. Even though I had to change, when I changed it for, I had to cancel,
of course, something else come up for yesterday, so. But anyway, it's just better to have it today.
It won't be a very long meeting, just like all of them, but. Yeah. I mean, you didn't change it like
the night before. Yeah, yeah. We'll call this meeting to order. We stand for the pledge of allegiance.
pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I have the father become before
you just one more time. And again, we thank you so much for this little town we serve. We thank you
for the dedication these board members have. We ask you to be with us tonight and make those decisions

one out not too long ago, so I'd ask for a motion to approve our expenditures. Star motion.
Ronnie roll call. Jimmy journal. Yes. Laura Hales absent. Katie Michael absent. Ron Van Dever. Yes.
And Emily Kelly. Yes. Thank you. Organizational plan.
I'm not sure where you all are at on it yet, but I think it's probably a good plan. I'm hoping that
we are able to do it. What have you all heard about it, anything? Just the stuff I've seen on, you mean
on the whole town, just what I've seen on Facebook, it's back and forth. It's back and forth. Yeah.
There was a,
I think it's running for council. Well, there's a guy named Henry that's running for council. Then there's
another one that is, I can't think of the other one's name. I think it was Henry, the younger guy. He
did a really nice breakdown of it just right after a budget meeting out here. And he posted on Facebook
and it was very- Pretty positive. Yeah, pretty positive. Okay, good. Saw a car. That's what we need.
Fall festival review, the fall festival went well as far as I know and no hiccups at the parade. Did
y'all attend? Yeah. Yeah. I was down there a little while. Not much, but marathon review, Ricky's running
a nice race. So it was probably a hundred people there or more. Pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know
if he's going to continue to do it or not. Have you talked to him about it? Is he in the budget?
Yeah, we can do it. He has his own budget now. He has his own money for the marathon. No, no, I mean,
is he in the town's budget? Oh, I don't know. You mean for? Yeah, because I was understanding they were
not going to have a part-time person. I hate that because Ricky's done a great job.
There's the budget total for each section.
They've taken a part-time out. That's what I got told. Yeah, I knew they were thinking about it, but
I didn't think they would actually do it, so. Well. So he doesn't have his own budget? Do what? He doesn't
have his own budget, then? He has a budget for the marathon, yes. OK, but not just overall. Not overall,
yeah. I'm not sure why we did that. So.
Well, we'll just have to do the best we can then. Next meeting is November the 3rd, be the day before
election day. I've got on there need board approval, but we're not changing it this time, so we don't
need board approval. And then congrats to Ricky and Ashwini about tracking the attendance, and you've
got that in hand. Yes, I do. Also, I want to make it. Yeah. Also, I want to, you can have a copy there.
That's true. I just want to also say publicly thank you to the public works department. They gave it

public works department for doing that. I appreciate that. I'm sure Ricky does too. I have the election
date is on November 3rd. What did I say?
Well, it puts election day November 4th in the notes. I'm sorry. That's OK. So are we meeting on the
3rd, or do you want to meet on the 4th? What's the calendar? The calendar, yeah. That's the election

doing work down at the Harrods Center on the silo down there. They're putting up a silo to make it more
country looking. Where? Down at the Harrods Center. Oh, is that what they're doing there? I didn't know
