Just reconvened from our executive session, so we're going into our 5 p.m. regular meeting, and we'll begin with a Pledge of Allegiance. I invite you to join us. Thank you. Ms. Baumann, we'll do our roll call. Strand? Here. Turnberg? Here. Peterson? Here. Gullickson? Here. Boucher? Here. All right, before we get into our meeting, we have a video that highlights the new leadership for the Red River Valley SWAT team. That'll be shared on the video screens in front of you and on the walls. The transition piece is always tough. This will be the second time I've stepped away from this team. It's always a little bit painful. I've spent about half of my career on this team, so stepping away from that again, and very likely permanent, is difficult on a personal level, but operationally and the confidence I have in Lieutenant Neiman and Sergeant Castle, I have zero concerns with those guys taking over. I've been with the Red River Valley SWAT team since 2013, so... A little over 13 years, so it's truly an honor, an honor to be taking on this role. And when I think about the men and women and the years of sacrifice, the long nights and the commitment that they've really put into this, it's truly humbling to be able to take on that role. I think that being the team commander, it's something that, it's always been a goal of mine. It's something that I've been mentored to do. I feel very well prepared for it. It's a very humbling position to be in. It's, I see it as a position of service, …

Tonight we have a representative from Vision Zero here who will be presenting Challenge Coins to the Fargo Police Department's Traffic Safety Team. So we'll allow you to come to the podium to speak. Good evening. My name is Leah Kelm, and I am a regional outreach coordinator for Vision Zero. So I serve the southeast region of our state. Those of you that aren't familiar with Vision Zero, it is North Dakota's mission to try to bring down our motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries across our entire state. And part of that mission includes recognizing people across our state that are promoting traffic safety and helping prevent tragedies on our roadways every single day. So today I will be presenting the officers of the Fargo Police Department's Traffic Safety Team with the Vision Zero Commemorative Coin Award for their high visibility back-to-school enforcement detail that took place last year, which improved roadway safety by addressing traffic violations within school zones to help protect students, families, and staff during peak travel hours.

Music playing. I'll call the meeting to order. Roll call, please. Gullickson? Here. Peterson? Here. Strand? Here. Turnberg? Here. Bosche? Here. Tonight, we're privileged to have a video highlighting the Forestry Division and the Arbor Day event they hosted in Anderson Park with the help of students from Carl Ben Eil son Middle School. So you can watch that on your screens. Music playing. The event we're having today is actually our 49th annual Ar bor Day celebration. We're doing it because Fargo is a tree city USA. Again, it 's our 49th year that we've been having that designation. We're given that designation through the North Dakota Forest Service. We need to have a tree board. We need to spend at least $2 per capita in the city and a tree ordinance. And then once a year, we need to celebrate Arbor Day, which is what we're doing today. There were 85 trees planted today in about an hour and 15 minutes. We had a wide mix of trees that were planted out at the park here. We had some honey locust, some elm, cedar. But this year we chose to involve the Fargo Park District, involve a school, Carl Ben Eilson Middle School with Fargo School District. A group from Bobcat that came in to help as well. A volunteer organization with River Keepers as well, just to kind of involve more than just ourselves for the planting opportunity around a little bit.
