And they better take it out, yeah. Good afternoon. Welcome to the regular City Council meeting of September 15th, 2026. Madam City Clerk, can I please have a roll call? Here. Mayor Lavelle. Here. Let the record reflect all members are present with the exception of Council Member DeForest. Thank you very much. At this time, we're going to do the Pledge of Allegiance and Invocation. The Pledge of Allegiance is going to be led by Mr. Ron Holliday, and our Invocation today is led by Jim Jackson of the Orchard Church. Thank you for standing. Please repeat after me. I pledge allegiance to the Father, and to the Republic. It's my pleasure to give the Invocation today, and I just want to say on behalf of the Orchard Church, what a great job you are doing, and I appreciate your hard work in the labor of leadership. Leadership is a special. It's a special weight, but God has placed it on us to help lead people into the future, and we are so appreciative to everybody that is connected to the great city of Marietta. And Proverbs 11, 14 says that with the plans of many, there can be failure, but with good guidance, there can be victory, and I am praying for that and a blessing on our city today and our leadership. Let's pray. Jesus, we ask you for an extra measure of wisdom. Upon the men and women of this city, we ask you for an extra measure of wisdom. Upon the men and women that lead this city, God, our nation and our state and our local officials, God, are in desperate need of your wis …
