Oh, you brought an entourage. We're wondering why so many people are here. All right. So item four A, proclaimed July Parks and Recreation Month. Parks and recreation programs have been shown to have an immensely positive impact on the entire community. Access to green space improves our mental well being. There are studies that show access to parks may lessen the impact of depression and anxiety. Parks and recreation programs improve our community's economic prosperity, increase property values, and lower crime rates, all while providing beautiful natural space. We would like to thank the one thousand four hundred employees and countless volunteers who maintain our parkland and offer recreational programming to this community.
