Speaker 1: I'm just excited that the veterans will have a seat at the table. Our committee considered Rex Richard Councilmember Richardson's suggestion. We think it's an excellent one. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Councilman Richardson. He's fine.
Speaker 8: So thank you so much. The Eady enough committee for processing this and bringing it forward. I think it's certainly worthwhile and it seemed like low hanging fruit. This is one of the first things we took on when the new counsel came to office. I know that it took us a while because we had to go through the budget. There was some fiscal impact, but it made a lot of sense to do and it was a good idea. So I'm happy you finally made it to this step. Thank you so much. Let's get some commissioners, get it online and get some commissioners appointed.
