Yesterday we had our boards and commissions fair at the STEAM Academy and we had a good number of boards and commissions representing their various groups tabling. So thank you to all the boards and commissions members who showed up. It was a really good turnout. We had some really great conversations with members of the public. Thank you to all my council colleagues who also came out and I don't know if you all know, we have our own DJ in LFUCG, Boyd Seway. And thank you especially to all the council aides and council staff that helped put the event together. It was really, really great and hopefully more to come in the future as we try to engage more of the public in the work that we do here. And then lastly, today is voter registration day. But just because it's voter registration day, it doesn't mean today is the last day. The last day to register to vote this year is October 5th. So there's still a little bit of time, but anybody who's not already registered should go to GoVoteKY.com. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Sheehan. Thank you, Mayor. This week we don't have any meetings and I just want to let everyone know that it is National Security Officer Appreciation Week. And so I want to acknowledge the work of our security officers and encourage folks to tell the security officers in this building and the other buildings around town that are LFUCG. Just tell them thank you for their work, for keeping our buildings secure and safe. Thanks, Mayor. Thank you. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to repeat again that today is the Viva Mexico Festival from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Common Spirit Ballpark, which is the legend's field. It's going to be there for the first time. So come on out and celebrate with me the Mexican culture, traditions, and community with live performances, music, arts, crafts, and more. And then this Thursday, the 17th, is Aval's, Kentucky's 18th annual Dining Out for Life. I'm a big fan of Aval, what they do. They have their offices in the 11th district. And dine out at participating restaurants across Lexington this day and a portion of the days to sales will go to HIV prevention, testing, access to care, housing, and other essential services throughout Central and Eastern Kentucky. Last year, they raised a record-breaking $121,000. So let's make it even bigger this year. And for more information about restaurants and donations, go to DineOutLex.com. And then don't forget Festival Latino this weekend, Friday and Saturday. Come out for a little bit of everything at the Courthouse Plaza. So that's 5 to 11 on Friday and 4 to 11 on Saturday. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Savigny. Thank you, Mayor. I think I've got a few pictures here.

We close the street down in front of the co-op. There's tons of people, great music and food. And it should be a great afternoon of fun. It usually starts around noon and ends around 7 or 8. Thank you. Thank you. All right, that brings us to public comment for issues not on the agenda. And we have no one signed up. So before we adjourn, I want to wish Councilmember Reynolds a happy birthday. Thank you very much, ma'am. Is there a motion to adjourn? All those in favor say aye. Aye. We are adjourned.
