Okay. What is that? Stop it. All righty. Well, good morning, everybody. Good morning, Mr. Mayor. I'd like to welcome you to our Broward County Board of County Commissioners meeting this Tuesday, September 19th, at about, 2023, at about 10.05 a.m. Got to do a little things different this morning, just very quick. So as you know, This
is
for Chairman Gibson, by the way. I think you need to explain what you're doing. We are doing that right now.
Chairman
Gibson, I promise I'm going to live up to my bet. As all of you know, the Panthers came very close to winning the course of the Stanley Cup this year after a hard fight with the Golden Knights, beat the Florida Panthers 9-3 in game five of the Stanley Cup final on June 13. So you must have heard I made a friendly wager with Chairman Jim Gibson of Clark County, Nevada. So the wager was the losing team's mayor would wear the winning team's jersey at a commission meeting. Hence, it's here. Chairman Gibson made a counteroffer. So this is where y'all come into play. See, I know they're not going to... Please, I'll owe you one, okay? Gibson made a counteroffer. Losing teams commission also say the winning teams chant at a commission meeting.
I've put myself in a bind here, haven't I? I thought the Panthers were going to win, okay? Well, Chairman, today I'm wearing the Las Vegas Knights jersey, and I'm asking that this commission join me in saying the Knights chant. If I'm the lonely guy, I tried, Chairman Gibson, I tried. So on the count of three, can you please say, go Knights go? Nope. All right. Go Panthers go. Hey, this is a friendly thing with Chairman Gibson. He's going to say that I didn't go up to my bed here, so anyway. All right. Thank you. So go Knights go. One, two, three. Go Knights go. So Chairman Gibson, I know your staff is watching us this morning. the wager has been completed let the record reflect
the
mckenzie didn't do it at all and all serious congratulations to the golden knights and kudos of course to our florida panthers for an incredible season which they were able to do so the video would be on social media later again chairman gibson best wishes to you in clark county nevada that's a nice
go that's right Mayor, what's the legality of a bet? I don't know if it's even legal for you to bet. It was a friendly wager. It wasn't a bet. You don't have to honor something that's not even legal. Just
that Vice Mayor Vice Mayor Rich, just beware if the Panthers are in the finals next year, okay? With your friendly wagers, if I may. All right. In all seriousness, I'm going to ask that we stand for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moment of silence, which I'll talk about. I'm going to have Commissioner Rogers, would you lead us in the pledge?
and justice for all i should please stand and remain standing for a moment of silence ladies and gentlemen it's customary that we observe a moment of silence and out of those notable persons our community have already recently passed so i'm going to go around the commission first commissioner mckinsey you have anybody okay no mr fur
just for us to keep in mind i was just in morocco where the earthquake
was
And they're having a really hard time, as is Olivia. And I think just for all of us to keep them in our thoughts
and prayers. Amen. Senator? Commissioner? We also obviously want to honor our brave men and women who have served and continue to serve in the armed forces, both here and abroad, and thank them for their service, along with those, of course, our police officers and firefighters who serve us daily. One more silence, please.
Thank you, you may be seated. Well today's music, which by the way was awesome, was by Commissioner Robert McKenzie. The first song was I'll Take You There by the Staple Sisters, seniors, excuse me, and Lean on Me by Bill Withers. You can't go wrong on theirs, right? And today we have three proclamations. Our first one is going to be Hispanic Heritage Month.
