[Resolution CR-18-25 Set forth, as required by Section 709.023 of the Ohio Revised Code the Municipal Services that can be furnished to 0.848+ acres located at 2255 Holton Road upon its annexation to the City.]

THE FINAL ITEM UNDER LANDS THIS EVENING IS RESOLUTION CR 1825. THIS IS SET FORTH AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 709.023 OF THE OHIO REVISED CODE. THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES CAN BE FURNISHED TO .848 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES LOCATED AT 2255 HOLTON ROAD. UPON ITS ANNEXATION INTO THE CITY. AND IF YOU COULD GO AHEAD AND COMMENT ON HOW THAT PROCESS WORKS. SURE. EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU. THIS IS REALLY THIS IS A PROCEDURAL LEGISLATION THAT'S REQUIRED BY THE REVISED CODE. WHENEVER A LANDOWNER SUBMITS AN APPLICATION FOR ANNEXATION, THE REVISED CODE REQUIRES THE CITY TO PASS A RESOLUTION SAYING WHAT SERVICES THEY'LL PROVIDE TO IT. AND THEN THE PROCESS CONTINUES THE HEARING BEFORE THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. THEN IT COMES BACK TO THE CITY EVENTUALLY.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RESOLUTION? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE THIS RESOLUTION HAS ITS READING AND PUBLIC HEARING I MOVE THAT BE APPROVED. SECOND. CALC. YES YES YES YES YES.

ANDERSON. YES. WILSON. YES. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE THIS EVENING UNDER LANDS, MADAM CHAIR. YES, MA'AM. BEFORE WE LEAVE LAND. I THOUGHT WE WERE CLOSE TO GETTING TO WHERE HAWTHORNE PARKWAY WOULD BE COMING ALL THE WAY THROUGH. IS THAT CORRECT? SO THE SIGNIFICANCE, BESIDES JUST DOING THIS PLOT IS THE FACT THAT HAWTHORNE PARKWAY WILL BE COMING THROUGH, AND WE'VE REACHED AN AGREEMENT ON THE PURCHASE OF THE ADDITIONAL LAND THAT WAS SET

[00:25:02]

ASIDE ORIGINALLY FOR THE SCHOOL. SO THIS IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT, I GUESS, ALMOST A FINAL. HOW MANY MORE PLATS DO YOU THINK WILL BE FILING IN? OH, REALLY? OKAY. WELL THAT'S GOOD. SO JUST JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THAT. PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. YES. THANK YOU. WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT FOR QUITE A WHILE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT BRINGS US TO THE CONCLUSION OF OUR

[Call for New Business ]

BUSINESS AGENDA THIS EVENING. IF THERE IS ANY NEW BUSINESS TO BE BROUGHT TO COUNCIL'S ATTENTION, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SO. AND I DO HAVE ONE INDIVIDUAL SIGNED UP THIS EVENING. RAVEN TADLOCK RAVEN. IF YOU COULD COME AND SAY YOUR NAME ADDRESS? FOR THE RECORD, GOOD EVENING COUNCIL, AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK. MY NAME IS RAVEN TADLOCK AND I LIVE AT 4695 ELMBRIDGE COURT, AND I'M HERE TONIGHT AS AN 18 YEAR OLD MEMBER OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. AND I'M ASKING YOU TO TAKE WHAT I SAY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE LIVES ARE AT STAKE. THREE YEARS AGO, I STOOD HERE WHEN YOU VOTED TO FORM A DEI COMMITTEE. A COUNCIL MEMBER TOLD ME TO REACH OUT IF I EVER NEEDED HELP. WELL, HERE I AM. SINCE THEN, LIFE HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS FOR LGBTQ PEOPLE IN OUR CITY AND STATE. AT GROVE CITY'S 2024 PRIDE FESTIVAL, I VOLUNTEERED AT THE YOUTH TABLE. SHORTLY AFTER THE EVENT STARTED, ARMED AND MASKED MEMBERS OF A NATIONAL NAZI HATE GROUP SHOWED UP CALLED THE BLOOD TRIBE. THEY DIDN'T STAND AT A DISTANCE. INSTEAD, THEY PLANTED THEMSELVES RIGHT NEXT TO THE TABLE WHERE I WAS AT, WHERE CHILDREN WERE PAINTING PUMPKINS.

THE BEGINNING. THEY BEGAN YELLING HATEFUL STATEMENTS AT US, SLURS, THREATS, AND JUST PURE HATRED. I HAD TO SUPPRESS MY FEAR AND GUIDE THESE KIDS. I WAS HELPING TO SAFETY. THIS GROUP CLEARLY CAME TO INTIMIDATE AND THREATEN PEACEFUL PEOPLE. I FELT SHOCKED THAT THIS HAPPENED IN MY OWN TOWN, ALL FOR SUCH AN INNOCENT EVENT. THAT DAY, MY COMMUNITY LITERALLY STEPPED IN AND STOOD IN FRONT OF THE HATE GROUP, AND I AM NOW ASKING YOU TO DO THE SAME. IN JANUARY, THE PRESIDENT SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER DECLARING ONLY TWO SEXES, MALE AND FEMALE, ERASING PEOPLE LIKE ME, BUT I EXIST. I AM GOING TO COLLEGE AND I WILL ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS, BUT MY GOVERNMENT SEES ME AS SOMETHING TO BE ERASED. NOW OHIO IS COPYING THAT LANGUAGE INTO OUR STATE BUDGET.

IF PASSED, THAT BECOMES LAW. HERE TOO. THIS IS DANGEROUS. AROUND THE TIME OF THAT FEDERAL ORDER, SUICIDE AND CRISIS HOTLINE SAW 33% SPIKE IN ACTIVITY, DRIVEN LARGELY BY LGBTQ YOUTH. THE LINK BETWEEN POLICY AND HARM IS UNDENIABLE. LEADING MEDICAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION CONDEMN THESE POLICIES AS UNSCIENTIFIC AND HARMFUL. EVEN IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THIS INFORMATION, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT AND IT DOESN'T STOP THERE. THIS SAME BUDGET INCLUDES LANGUAGE REQUIRING PUBLIC LIBRARIES TO ISOLATE BOOKS WITH LGBTQ CONTENT, EVEN STORIES ABOUT SAME SEX FAMILIES. IT ALSO THREATENS FUNDING FOR SHELTERS THAT HELPED TRANSGENDER YOUTH WHO ALREADY FACE ALARMING RISKS. THESE MEASURES WERE HIDDEN IN A BUDGET, QUIETLY AND COWARDLY THAT THAT IS A FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP. AND I AM ASKING YOU NOT TO FAIL US, TOO. SO HERE'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR. PLEASE ISSUE A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND CONDEMNING THIS DISCRIMINATORY LANGUAGE IN THE OHIO BUDGET. AND PLEASE USE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH STATE LAWMAKERS TO SPEAK OUT. PLEASE CALL YOUR FRIENDS IN THE SENATE.

LET THEM KNOW GROVE CITY SEES THE HARM AND REJECTS IT. YOU HAVE POWER AND INFLUENCE. USE IT TO SHOW YOU CARE. USE IT TO PROTECT YOUR RESIDENTS AND USE IT TO LEAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. A VERY THOUGHTFUL STATEMENT THAT TELLS A STORY THAT YOU'RE MUCH OLDER AND EXPERIENCED THAN THAN YOUR AGE. REALLY IS THAT I KNOW, SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I WANT TO MOVE ON NOW TO MAYOR STAGE. IF WE HAVE NO OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC AND MAYOR STATE, ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR REPORT? YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. MAYOR'S REPORT COLLECTIONS FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL WERE $50,879. AND I'D ASK THE COUNCIL, I'LL PRESENT THIS COUNCIL AND ASK THAT YOU APPROVE IT AS PRESENTED. IS THE MAYOR'S REPORT. SECOND. SECOND. HOLT? YES. BARRY. YES. YES. YES. ANDERSON. YES. WILSON. YES. YES. THANK YOU. BUSY WEEKEND IN GROVE CITY AND IT CONTINUES. AND THE FARMERS MARKET, I THINK, STARTS THIS WEEKEND OR NEXT WEEKEND? THIS WEEKEND? THIS WEEKEND. BUT JUST LAST SATURDAY, JUST TWO DAYS AGO, WE HAD THE SHREDDING DAY. INCREDIBLE, HORRIBLE WEATHER. BUT THEY HAD A RECORD, ANOTHER RECORD DAY OF COLLECTING MATERIAL FOR SHREDDING. FRIDAY EVENING WAS GOING TO BE THE OPENING NIGHT FOR THE LITTLE

[00:30:04]

LEAGUE BASEBALL. WE'LL WAIT A HALF AN HOUR AND SEE IF THIS CLOUD GOES OVER, WAIT A HALF AN HOUR, SEE IF THIS CLOUD GOES OVER. SO AFTER ABOUT THREE CLOUDS AND THREE WAITS, WE ENDED UP CANCELING THE OPENING NIGHT. AND IT'S A IT'S A REAL EMOTIONAL LETDOWN BECAUSE THESE KIDS ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE BE ABLE TO DO THE LITTLE PARADE WE DO AND TO HAVE THEIR PICTURES TAKEN AND SO FORTH. AND WHEN YOU HAVE 700 OF THEM RUNNING AROUND AND THEIR PARENTS, WHERE DO YOU PUT THEM ALL? ESPECIALLY WHEN IT STARTS RAINING. AND JACK AND HIS TEAM DID A GREAT JOB AND TRY TO MANAGE THAT. BUT WE AND WE YOU DID. YOU WERE ABLE TO PLAY FIVE GAMES SATURDAY OR A LITTLE YET, BUT THE RAIN CAME AND WIPED OUT MOST OF THE FIRST DAY OF SATURDAY AS WELL. YEAH, BUT FORTUNATELY WE HAVE THE ARTIFICIAL TURF SO WE CAN PLAY ON. WE HAD THE EARLIER TODAY THE LIFE CARE ALLIANCE, ALLIANCE, MAYORS GOLF OUTING, SELLOUT OUTING AS IT'S NOW DONE FOR I THINK 35 YEARS. WE'RE. ADJUSTED THE WAY THAT WE ACTUALLY SELL THE FOURSOME AND SO FORTH TO WHERE WE SELL PACKAGES. AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE NOT A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY, BUT IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE ABOUT 4 OR $5000 MORE BY, BY BY REARRANGING THE PACKAGES. AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RAINED THIS MORNING, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE GOLF OUTING AND VERY, VERY ENJOYABLE DAY. TO GO BACK TO THE COMMENTS ABOUT THE BUDGET AT THE STATE LEGISLATURE, WE HAD A MAYOR'S ALLIANCE MEETING TUESDAY WHERE YOU HAD THE TOP 30 MAYORS OF OHIO AND THE CHAIR OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE FROM THE HOUSE, BRIAN STEWART, WAS THERE. HE LIVES IN NASHVILLE, AND WE HAD QUITE A DISCUSSION WITH HIM ABOUT A NUMBER OF ITEMS IN THE BUDGET AND THE ONE THAT TOTALLY BLOWS ME AWAY. THE BUDGET WAS GIVEN TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WITH 600 PAGES.

IT WAS 404,000 PAGES WHEN THEY FIRST GAVE IT TO THE SENATE. AND NOW IT'S UP TO 5000 PAGES, EMBEDDING ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS, INCLUDING CITIES, NOT BEING ABLE TO REGULATE ELECTRIC FENCES. SO FORTUNATELY, OUR REPRESENTATIVE, MARK SECREST, IS ON TOP OF IT, AND SO IS MICHELLE REYNOLDS. THE LIBRARIES ARE BEING THREATENED, THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OF COURSE, THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDING IN GENERAL, INCLUDING. COLLAPSING THE CBD OPERATIONS AND SOME OTHER INTO THE DRUG, THE MARIJUANA DISPENSARY. SO IT'S A VERY DYNAMIC TIME RIGHT NOW IN THE STATEHOUSE. THE ELECTION IS TOMORROW. ISSUE TWO IS A BIG PART OF OUR PROGRAM HERE IN GROVE CITY. AND ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO VOTE FOR ISSUE TWO, IF YOU WOULD, NUMBER ONE, GO TO THE POLLS. BUT NUMBER TWO, MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR ISSUE TWO. AND THEN ON A MORE SOMBER NOTE, WE LOST TWO OUTSTANDING CITIZENS IN IN GROVE CITY, RICH MUIR, WHO WAS AN EMPLOYEE HERE AT THE CITY FOR I THINK, OVER 20 YEARS PASSED AWAY ON. JUST A QUICK WAY, JUST A FREAK ACCIDENT, SOME OTHER THINGS THAT HAPPENED. AND THEN MARK LIST, WHO WAS A FORMER CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND FORMER TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE, PASSED AWAY THE END OF APRIL ALSO. SO THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP POINTS THAT I WANTED TO MAKE. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MAYOR. ALL RIGHT, MR. BOWSER, WE PROMISED NEVER TO BRING A 5000 PAGE BUDGET TO YOU. PROMISE NEVER. WE'LL HOLD YOU TO THAT, MAYOR. 4000. MR. JUST ONE NOTE. I NOTICED THAT FORMER COUNCILMAN ROBY IS IN THE AUDIENCE.

CERTAINLY WANT TO RECOGNIZE HIM AND WELCOME HIM BACK AND AGAIN, THANKING FOR HIS SERVICE. SO GOOD TO SEE YOU, ROBY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. BOZO. GOOD TO SEE YOU, MR. SCHOTTKY. MISS KELLY, I HAVE NOTHING. THANK YOU, MR. SHAM. I ALSO HAVE NOTHING. THANK YOU.

MISS BURROUGHS, I JUST WANTED TO ADD ON TO ALSO, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE MAYOR REFERENCED THIS WEEKEND IS THE FARMER'S MARKET START, BUT ALSO FOOD TRUCK FRIDAY STARTS ON FRIDAY NIGHT, SO HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER HOLDS OUT. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE NICE, BRING MORE PEOPLE DOWNTOWN AND GET THE SEASON KICKED OFF.

AND AS I WAS SITTING HERE THIS EVENING, I ALSO NOTICED THE NEW AWNING ACROSS THE STREET, PART OF THE PROGRAM THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE FOR IMPROVING THE VISUAL LANDSCAPE OF DOWNTOWN, SOME OF OUR BUSINESSES, AND IT LOOKS VERY NICE, SO I'M SURE WE'LL SEE OTHER ONES START POPPING UP AS WELL. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS ANDERSON. THANK YOU. I ALSO JUST WANT TO THANK RAVEN FOR COMING IN AND TALKING TO US. AND I THINK YOU'RE INCREDIBLY BRAVE. AND EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS SOMETHING WE DEFINITELY NEED TO TALK ABOUT. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. WILSON. I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS. DO WE HAVE A TIME LIMIT? RAVEN? THANK YOU. AS A PERSON OF COLOR FROM A MARGINALIZED COMMUNITY, I TOO FEEL AS IF I'M BEING ERASED. MY HISTORY IS BEING ERASED. I THANK YOU FOR THE COURAGE TO STEP UP AND SPEAK. AND DURING ALL THE COMMENTARY AROUND THE MARIJUANA DISPENSARY, A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT GROVE CITY BEING FAMILY FOCUSED, FAMILY ORIENTED, A CHARMING, CITY ACCEPTING CITY. AND SO WE DO HAVE A DUTY AND OBLIGATION TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR KIDS ARE PROTECTED. SO THANK YOU FOR THE COURAGE TO

[00:40:04]

STAND UP AND SPEAK. ALSO, SUNDAY'S MOTHER'S DAY. SO JUST WANTED TO SAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS, ALL THE CAREGIVERS AND EVERYONE THAT'S IN ATTENDANCE, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME REST, BREAKFAST AND ALL THOSE THINGS. LASTLY, NEXT WEEK IS NATIONAL POLICE WEEK.

ACROSS THE NATION, WE WILL PAUSE TO HONOR THE COURAGE, SACRIFICE, AND UNWAVERING COMMITMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHO SERVE AND PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES. FOR ME, THIS IS THIS OBSERVANCE IS DEEPLY PERSONAL. MY GRANDFATHER PROUDLY SERVED AS A COLUMBUS POLICE OFFICER FROM 1937 TO 1951. MY COUSIN, OFFICER JANE THOMPSON BOWMAN, WAS THE FIRST WOMAN IN FRANKLIN COUNTY TO BE SHOT IN THE LINE OF DUTY, AN INJURY FROM WHICH HE NEVER RECOVERED. JANE LATER PASSED AWAY AS A RESULT OF THOSE INJURIES, AND HER LEGACY REMINDS US OF THE IMMENSE RISK THAT OFFICERS, ESPECIALLY TRAILBLAZERS LIKE HER FACE EVERY SINGLE DAY. NATIONAL POLICE WEEK IS NOT ONLY A TIME FOR REMEMBRANCE, IT'S A TIME FOR APPRECIATION. YOU CAN SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AND SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL WAYS. WEAR SOMETHING BLUE. TURN YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILE BLUE.

BUY A MEAL FOR A POLICE OFFICER. SEND A THANK YOU NOTE TO OUR POLICE OFFICERS. AND WHEN YOU SEE A CRUISER DRIVE BY, JUST GIVE THEM A WAVE. IT MEANS A LOT. AND LASTLY, I JUST ENCOURAGE EVERYONE DURING THAT WEEK BY BLUE LIGHT. PUT IT ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL POLICE OFFICERS. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, I YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME. THERE'S GOING TO BE A QUIZ ON THE WEEKS, THE MONTHS, THE SPECIAL DAYS THAT WE HAVE. BUT I AM GOING TO ADD ON TO THAT FOR THIS EVENING. THIS WEEK IS THE 56TH ANNUAL PROFESSIONAL MUNICIPAL CLERKS WEEK. PROFESSIONAL MUNICIPAL CLERKS FROM MAY THE 4TH THROUGH THE 10TH. AND I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR WONDERFUL MISS KELLY, WHO KEEPS US ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW IN MORE WAYS THAN YOU PROBABLY WILL EVER KNOW OR HAVE REVEALED TO YOU. BUT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT DOES A PROFESSIONAL MUNICIPAL CLERK DO? MAINTAINS, AND I'M USING MY PHONE. MY GEN-X SELF IS LEARNING FROM MR. WILSON HERE. I'M READING FROM MY PHONE THAT OUR OUR CLERK MAINTAINS OUR OFFICIAL COUNCIL MINUTES ORDINANCE BOOKS AND ALL RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS, INDEXES ALL OFFICIAL ACTIONS OF COUNCIL, RECEIVE, RECEIVED, DISTRIBUTES AND FILES CORRESPONDENCE FROM CITIZENS AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES. ACTS AS A KEY LIAISON BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND ITS CITIZENS. SOMETHING THAT I ALWAYS TRY TO HIGHLIGHT THAT SHE DOES BEYOND COMPARE. SHE IS THE GOLD STANDARD IN TERMS OF DEALING WITH OUR RESIDENTS, NO MATTER THE TOPIC. AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO SAY AS IT RELATES TO PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE, AND THAT'S WHERE SHE KEEPS US ALL IN THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW. YOU MIGHT SEE HER SHAKING HER HEAD, NO RUNNING HER FINGER ACROSS HER THROAT, TELLING US, I THINK WHAT YOU REALLY MEANT TO SAY IS THIS. BUT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO WHAT WE DO WITHOUT HER SUPPORT AND DEDICATION AND PROFESSIONALISM. SO IF YOU WILL JOIN ME IN GIVING HER A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. AND FINALLY, I'M PIGGYBACKING ON THE EVENTS LIST. I CHECKED SOME OFF. YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE FARMER'S MARKET. YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL, FITNESS IN THE PARK ON THURSDAYS THAT'S ALREADY GOING FITNESS IN THE PARK, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IN THE TOWN CENTER PARK. I'M USUALLY WITNESSING IT WHEN I'M WALKING FROM MY OFFICE TO MY CAR, BUT PUT THAT ON YOUR CALENDAR. LOTS OF GREAT ACTIVITIES FROM ALL DIFFERENT FITNESS RELATED BUSINESSES IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND ON SATURDAY, 830 TO 230, THE GARDENS AGAINST HER HERB, PERENNIAL AND NATIVE PLANT SALE. GET YOUR NATIVE PLANTS. IT'S A GREAT, GREAT RESOURCE FOR NATIVE PLANTS. AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SOMETHING FOR MOM OR THE SPECIAL PERSON IN YOUR LIFE, THAT WHEN YOU ROLL UP TO BRUNCH ON SUNDAY, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE EMPTY HANDED, THAT PLANT SALE IS A FANTASTIC THING TO HIT ON SATURDAY SO THAT YOU ARE ARMED ON SUNDAY MORNING. SO WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO. WELL, NO. I DO WANT TO SAY ONE THING. AS HAS ALREADY BEEN COMMENTED THIS THIS EVENING, MY HEART, MY THOUGHTS, MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE CAHILL FAMILY. THE LOSS OF BILL FOR MAUREEN AND CAITLIN AND COLIN IS FELT PROFOUNDLY AND WILL BE FELT FELT PROFOUNDLY IN OUR COMMUNITY. I DIDN'T, I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF TODAY. IT WAS SUCH A SHOCK. SO PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS. AND NOW, WITHOUT

[00:45:02]

FURTHER DELAY, IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, WE WILL ADJOURN AND WE WILL TAKE A TEN MINUTE BREAK.

AND IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING US, WE WILL BE IN THE LOWER LEVEL FOR OUR CONTINUING DISCUSSION ON FORM OF GOVERNMENT. AND IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS AT THIS TIME,
