00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:15.012
- in the town of Ellsville Town Council. We're gonna move into this evening. The first part of the order

00:00:15.012 --> 00:00:21.730
- is Richland Township Resolution 01, 2026, a resolution to establish Ellsville Richland Township Fire

00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:28.382
- Protection Territory and adopt the Ellsville Richland Township Fire Protection Territory Agreement.

00:00:38.928 --> 00:00:44.296
- over. She and I both have been involved in fire territory proceedings before, and we find it legally

00:00:44.296 --> 00:00:50.037
- in order and before this body. Okay, thank you. And let me back up a minute just for a bit of housekeeping.

00:00:50.037 --> 00:00:55.353
- I'll certify that there's a quorum present from each of the two boards, and that this is the fourth

00:00:55.353 --> 00:01:00.668
- meeting. There were three meetings before this as hearings, pending this adoption for public input.

00:01:00.668 --> 00:01:03.326
- This will be the adoption meeting where we either

00:01:03.650 --> 00:01:10.278
