We have the five o'clock meeting. Oh, yes. I'm so sorry. Okay. Yeah, so we just came. We just got to finish up some business here, so we're going to go ahead and hear from City Attorney Barrow about what was discussed in closed session. Thank you, Mayor. As previously announced, the City Council went into closed session to have a conference with labor negotiators with respect to the employee groups identified on the agenda. There was no reportable action taken. At this time, it would be appropriate to adjourn the five o 'clock meeting. Okay, so we adjourn the five o'clock meeting, and now we open up the June 16th regular meeting. So we'd like to start that off with a pledge to the flag. We're going to be joined by Dash Broyne. Right here. Here we go. 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.
