No eyes for cats quality control and can report damage, graffiti removal, and more through the Adopt-A-Bus Stop website. Beyond beautification, adopting a bus stop helps create a more comfortable environment for our community's riders. Comfortable, clean bus stops encourage the use of public transportation, which in turn reduces traffic congestion and air pollution. Clean and welcoming bus stops promote a more inclusive and connected city. Bus stop adopters also receive some cool perks, besides making a positive impact on their neighborhood. Volunteers in the program receive cleaned up supplies that they can keep for as long as they participate in the program. After three months of activity, cats will install a sign recognizing the adoptee at their stop.
So why not take action and make a difference in our community today? Together, let's create a stronger, more connected city, one bus stop at a time.

Um, this invocation is intended to solemnize our proceedings. We understand that we celebrate the religious diversity of our community, including those without a religious faith. So tonight I'd like to be able to stand and have you stand with me if you choose to have a blessing. with our city. Father God, you can see us in so many ways. Let us hope that you see us tonight in a way that we believe that all of us want to be.
We want to be people that make this city better. We want to make sure that people have the opportunity to thrive in our city. We hope that we have the wellness to be able to do this together. One of the things that we know, we've gone through some difficulties for the last couple of weeks. It's been very, very hard. So, Lord, please give us a moment of silent prayer so that we can begin to understand that not everyone has the ability to be with us today, and there are some of those that did not have the opportunity to come back to their homes and their family and their businesses. We believe... that you live to help us thrive. And we hope that you will give our city and all of our people in our city the ability to do that, just that.
So Lord, we know it's Thanksgiving time. We know that there are going to be people that don't have food that need food. Let us think about that as we begin to think how we can do and be better people. With your grace, amen. Amen. I 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.
All right. Thank you very much. The first item on our agenda is our consent items. Ms. Marie, please. Thank you, and good evening, Mayor and Council. I've had a
chance to speak with many of you, but is there any other questions on the consent items? And I also need to note, I believe I sent you earlier, the item number 23 is being deferred.
