It is 1800 hours. I'm going to call this regular council meeting 2026-18 to order. The invocation will be given by Pastor Jim Campbell of Bay West Church. And Deputy Mayor Jaffe will lead us in the Pledge of Alleg iance. All rise. Would you pray with me? Lord, we thank you so much for all the wisdom you give us. And Lord, we ask for it today. Lord, we pray that you would make information that is true be known and highlighted and obvious. Lord, we pray that you would expose any personal agendas that go against the public good. Thank you. Lord, we ask that you would just give all of our people, all the folks who work for our city, Lord, and especially for our council, that you would give them a singular focus to do their job for the best of the city and the glory of you. Lord, I pray like when Nehemiah was approached by people that would cause drama, and he said, I'm on a great project. I can't go down. I pray none of these men would go down to the level of drama outside of what their job is, Lord. And I pray that they would know exactly what to do and the right decisions to make, and they would see things that they couldn't see on their own without your help. Lord, I pray for every person in here that will speak at this mic today, Lord, that you'll give them a sense of calm, able to express their ideas and express them well for the good of our city, not just the good of themselves. And Lord, I pray for great business to be done today. In your name, amen. Amen. Face the flag. I …

So today I'm going to pray the prayer from National Day of Prayer Task Force President Kathy Branzell. Almighty God, King of Glory, we confess our sins and repent of our pride that sought our own glory and comfort, allowing evil to take root instead of your fruit in our hearts, homes, culture, and country. Please forgive us. Now with this declaration of rededication, we humble ourselves, we pray and seek your face, and we turn from our wicked ways that you would heal our lives and our land. Please purify and renew our hearts with holy attributes, affections, attitude, and action to love you with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We give you glory as we repent and rededicate our lives and our nation to you. For 250 years, you've guarded and guided America in wisdom, grace, mercy, and love.

You know what I'm talking about? It is now 1800 hours. I'm going to call regular council meeting 2026-12 to order. The invocation will be led by Pastor Jerry Clem of Covenant Church. And our pledge of allegiance will be led by our Deputy Mayor Mike Jaffe. Please rise. Pray with me. Gracious and almighty God, we gather this evening acknowledging that there's no authority except that which you've established. We thank you for the gift of civil government and for the men and women in this room who have stepped forward to serve our community. Lord, we confess our need for your guidance. We believe that the leader's heart is a stream of water in your hand, O Lord. You turn it wherever you will. We ask that you would turn the hearts of this council toward what is just, what is true, and what is for the common good of all our community. We pray specifically that you would grant these men and women discernment that exceeds their own natural abilities. May they be quick to hear and slow to speak and slow to anger as they navigate the complexities of our city's growth and the needs of our citizenry. Lord, would you strengthen them to act with uprightness, putting the interest of the vulnerable and the flourishing of the whole city above any kind of political pressure or agendas. And Father, remind us all that we are stewards of your creation. We're not owners of the positions that we hold and the land that we live on. Help us to serve with a spirit of grace and cooperation. Lord, we th …

It is now 1800 hours. I'm going to call this regular council meeting 2026-11 to order. The invocation will be provided by Pastor Ken Delgado of the House Church and Councilman Kenny Johnson will be leading us with the Pledge of Allegiance. All rise. Pastor Mark Miller sends his regards. He is recovering. And so we pray God's blessing on his body and continued recovery. Amen. So we join hearts. I'm reading from George Washington, our first president of the United States during this 250-year celebration. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. Fathers, we come to you in the power of Jesus' name. We thank you that you placed in each person the DNA of morality. That it's not just something that's made up in humans' minds, but it's something that's ingrained in us by your spirit. And today, Father, we call on the name of Jesus. We thank you for the people that you have placed in authority, executing judgment in the affairs of this great city of Palm Bay. We ask that your wisdom would prevail. That your Holy Spirit would turn every heart in the direction that you want. Yes, Lord. That, Father, that we would put aside personal gain. We would put aside politics. And that we would have at heart people. Even as you had in your heart a desire to rescue, touch, help, sustain, heal people. So thank you, Father, for the …
