26 council meeting. We're calling the meeting to order at 6 31. Our invocation will be done by my favorite pastor, Tim, from High Desert Church. Thank you . And then Allison, will you please lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance? Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. And Lord, we do come today with heavy hearts, recognizing that our community is in mourning right now. Lord, we pray for the families of Maddie Daly and Izzy Hill as they are in the process of mourning the loss of those girls. And pray that you would give them comfort, Lord, that you would give them as much peace as you provide us, God. We pray for Saltana High School as they are still processing through this loss, Lord. We pray for Scott, the principal, Lord, that you would continue to give him wisdom and guidance and strength, God, as he navigates this tragedy. Pray that you'd be with the guidance counselors, the grief counselors, and crisis counselors, Lord, as they interact with students. But Lord, most importantly, we pray for the students. Lord, high schoolers go through so many emotions, so many feelings, and this tragedy is not something that is meant to be dealt with this young in age. But Lord, we thank you that these two girls knew you, and Lord, that they are with you in paradise. God, we just lift up this meeting today. I pray that you would be at the city council, Lord, as they make these decisions, God. Lord, that you would continue to bless them, give them wisdom. And Lord, pray for every person …

Thank you. Good evening, and welcome to the Board of Trustees. We will move to May 5, 2026 City Council meeting. We will call the meeting to order at 630. Our invocation will be done by Pastor Penn. And then, Council Member Ochoa, you lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank you. A cross up there. It's one that I took and wrote something on the back. We've given out a bunch of them. Number two, this Thursday is the National Day of Prayer. And each year at the flagpole and out front, we have a brief 30-minute prayer service. And the Hesperia High School choir will be there singing. And we'll have opportunity to pray together. We've just recently celebrated reading the entire Bible at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. And in honor of the scriptures, I'd like to read the Beat itudes to us this evening. Now, when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up into the mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them. He said, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
