▶ 7:55 Devin Romanul: Do we have anybody online? No one online. All right. If there's no objection, I'll motion by unanimous consent to close public comment. Seeing none, we are now closed. At this time, I'll also motion by unanimous consent to approve without reading the minutes from our most recent meeting. Seeing no objection, those minutes are now approved. All right, moving right along. First item on tonight's agenda is appropriation ID number 2026-1150, appropriation from free cash in the amount of $244,944 to the school department for Medicaid reimbursement received in FY25. Joining us this evening, Mr. Ken Kelly. Thank you so much for joining us.
