[02:04] Mayama county of Ottawa, state of Oklahoma on Tuesday.

[02:07] April 7, 2026, for the purpose of electing the mayor.

[02:58] Ordnances, so these this is yet another video game

[03:04] Arcade type

[03:07] Ordnance that probably needs to be done away with, so I have prepared the ordinances to do away with each section of it

[03:18] This may not be able to go play Donkey Kong anymore

[05:26] community supporting it, right?

[05:27] So our folks did a great job putting it together,

[05:31] but then we didn't know what was gonna happen,

[05:34] and I really, I was blown away.

[05:36] I said it at the thing.

[05:38] I'm blown away by how many people came out,

[05:40] supported it, and it just motivates me

[05:42] to want to do it bigger and better next year.

[05:48] So I'm gonna follow into what they said.

[05:50] The ball drop, I appreciate the same way so much

[05:55] because we come up with some wild ideas sometimes,

[05:59] and you guys pull them off, you know,

[06:01] we come up with the idea and decide we're gonna do something

[06:04] and whether it's gonna work or not,

[06:06] we don't know sometimes, but you guys always make it work.

[06:09] And I greatly appreciate that.

[06:11] You guys put the effort in, the work in,

[06:13] and you're the reason that happens.

[06:17] But I think, Trenta sent me a message earlier today

[06:21] that with the place where it showed 848 people

[06:24] in attendance, not counting kids, of course,

[06:27] that didn't have cell phones.

[06:29] So, you know, we may have been close to 1,000 people there.

[06:33] So I'm gonna tell a little story, too,

[06:34] that I heard from that event,

[06:36] and I've come from our city judge, Chuck Chestnut,

[06:39] had lunch with him Friday.

[06:40] He said, let me tell you a funny story.

[06:42] He said, I got home.

[06:43] He said, I told my wife, look at this,

[06:46] they're having a ball drop downtown,

[06:48] we should go to this.

[06:49] She said, yeah, let's go, let's do that.

[06:51] And he went off, we're away, we'll go.

[06:54] He said, so next morning, he woke up,

[06:56] and he fell asleep before midnight,

[06:58] and he woke up next morning and pulled up his phone

[07:00] and saw all the pictures and videos

[07:02] that everybody had taken.

[07:05] And he was like, wow, that was amazing.

[07:06] There's a lot of people there,

[07:07] so he went to his wife and said, look at this.

[07:09] They had a great turnout down there.

[07:10] And she said, yeah, we did.

[07:14] I guess he went in, and he was asleep,

[07:16] and he went without him, okay?

[07:18] But I heard a lot from families

[07:21] that it was great to have a family in the event,

[07:24] because nobody around here has anything like what we did.

[07:29] And of course, we couldn't have pulled it off

[07:30] without the city employees, Colby Allen,

[07:32] now in size studios, Justin with Pyro Brothers,

[07:37] simplicity truck, smash burger,

[07:39] or smash and dash, Clark smash and dash was there,

[07:43] but really it was a great event.

[07:45] We've got a lot of publicity from the job

[07:47] and news out of it.

[07:50] And I even saw people from the job

[07:51] with most of the, they're coming next year,

[07:53] because there's nothing like what we did

[07:55] anywhere else around here.

[07:56] So from minor standing, this was the only ball drop

[08:00] in the whole state of Oklahoma.

[08:02] So, a cool deal, a cool thing to hang your hat on.

[08:07] And I don't have anything else,

[08:08] so go to city manager communications.

[08:10] I just have one thing, you know,

[08:12] the staff has gotten some questions

[08:13] as read been stolen, as read disappeared.

[08:16] So, this is read down in front of anybody watching,

[08:19] is wondering who that is, this is read from the library.

[08:21] So, here, but let's you like to talk about that idea.

[08:26] Let's do it on it.

[08:27] All right, so we'll leave read a little backstory

[08:30] on the read here real quick.

[08:32] The bronze sculpture, once upon a time,

[08:35] affectionately referred to as read by the minor club

[08:38] library staff was created by OSU graduate,

[08:41] Michelle Riley, from the lock of hair on his forehead

[08:45] to the laces on his shoes to the expression on his face.

[08:49] The attention to detail is amazing.

[08:51] Ms. Riley was granted a cool ride scholarship

[08:53] for Tracking Field, but after an injury sideline her,

[08:56] she focused her energy into her other passion,

[08:59] which was art.

[09:00] In 1992, she opened a studio in gallery

[09:02] in the colon theater, beautiful complex,

[09:05] known for capturing the emotional spirit of her subject.

[09:08] She has had numerous commissions for portraits,

[09:11] or portrayals, excuse me, of notable Americans

[09:14] like Maya, Angelou, thank, Angelou, Angelou, Angelou.

[09:18] Angelou, and Amelia Earhart.

[09:21] Her work has been featured at the Smithsonian,

[09:23] Ms. Riley now resides in Nevada, so that's where

[09:27] we came from.

[09:28] And the reason that read is not currently set

[09:32] in front of the library, he's been stolen several times.

[09:37] And I think this last time he was found

[09:40] at a scrap yard, somebody selling for scrap, is that all right?

[09:44] The apartment here is one pound.

[09:46] Oh, okay.

[09:48] I guess the first time he was stolen,

[09:49] he was found in a scrap yard in Missouri.

[09:52] And then this last time, he was found

[09:54] over north of town here or north of town

[09:56] in my department.

[09:58] And so there's new plans for read.

[10:02] He's probably going to end up back at the library, sounds like,

[10:05] that he'll be much more safe and secure.

[10:07] With the new fault cameras.

[10:09] With...

[10:10] Yeah, I have one of his pockets.

[10:12] Exactly.

[10:15] All right, number nine, the German...

[10:17] Motion.

[10:19] It's...

[10:20] Dumple.

[10:21] Burns, aye.

[10:22] We stand.

[10:23] Roger.
