WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.480 Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome. 2 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.160 It it's time now for city matters right here on Kay one, the one 3 00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.359 new trust of It matters to you, It matters to the city. And 4 00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:18.679 we have Councilwoman Billy Rohan on with is today and city councilor a nice little 5 00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.359 meeting we had last night that wrapped up a few things. But I want 6 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:27.399 to go to the to the audit first because folks are kind of concerned about 7 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:32.200 their money. So nothing to be worried about here, No, not at 8 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:35.200 all, not here in Bartlesville. We you know, I've been watching the 9 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:42.079 council for since twenty ten is when we first moved here, and Tom and 10 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.799 I were very aware of what was going on with our city council because it's 11 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.159 you know, we're interested in that, and they have had clean audits, 12 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.840 done a great job. And this last stot up for twenty twenty two, 13 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.359 it's no exception. It was outstanding. The only notation had to do with 14 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.079 unavoidable filing due to the new software changeover that affected to other people too, 15 00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.560 it did, we were not the only community that had affected. And then 16 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.439 Jason and his staff received high marks for their handling of the federal ARPA money, 17 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:19.400 which that grant I remember looking that over. Uh. Of course, 18 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:25.159 when we get federal dollars, there are lots of streams rooms and to jump 19 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.640 through, and if you mess up on anything, then it doesn't go well. 20 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.519 But they commended our Jason and his staff for the work that they had 21 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.200 done on the office. So that was very exciting. Well, on the 22 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.439 other matter of money, looks like folks are shopping at home. They are 23 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.879 Oh my goodness, we love our citizens so much because they have just uh, 24 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.920 they have really gone above and beyond. We had a five point one 25 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.319 percent i believe increase this month over last year, and we're about four percent 26 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.439 over what we budgeted. It was a last year record or something. Well, 27 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.799 yes, it'd bed record since twenty twenty and and so just a year 28 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.639 after year. And of course some of that has to do with inflation, 29 00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:12.479 but much of it has to do with people shopping here at home in Bartlesville. 30 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.639 And so we so appreciate that. Oh that is that is really really 31 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.400 good. Now, we had a little talk about litigation. People getting nervous 32 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.520 when we start talking about lawsuits. Miss Rohan, Well, you know there 33 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:31.960 are that happens all the time. Frankly, that's exactly why. And this 34 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:39.000 has to do with uh, with the litigation that's been going on, and 35 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:44.879 we just kind of uh were contacted late in the game. That's because the 36 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.599 more people they have signed on to this proposed litigation than the more clout that 37 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.879 it holds. And after a good investigation intending some workshops concerning that jess Kine 38 00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:01.479 are legal, which we're so fortunate to have him on stay uh he he 39 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.560 visited with us and thought there might be a better way for Bartleswell to go 40 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.360 to go, mainly because there are so many unknowns in this particular litigation. 41 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.439 We don't even know if we have an issue with it, and so we 42 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:22.319 opted instead to hire uh oh, I can't believe. I can't think of 43 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:29.080 the name McGraw and Uh, well, we hired someone that we had been 44 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:35.639 working with on others. Yes and so, and so they are going to 45 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.319 uh we have to actually opt out. If you don't opt out, you're 46 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.039 automatically in if they've contacted you. So it sounds like legal needs, doesn't 47 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.560 it. And so it sounds like anything that you buy on the internet. 48 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.919 That's true, So they will be uh. We recommendation by Jess was that 49 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.000 we hire them and uh engage them to file the correct paperwork for us, 50 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:04.319 and then to follow up with doing appropriate testing and working with Terry Lawrence and 51 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:09.599 our city utilities director so that we can even find out if we have an 52 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.680 issue and then go from there on what we need to do. So that's 53 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.360 guy. I'm pretty sure he went to college. He is very smart, 54 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:23.720 and I appreciate we have just really we have great people working on the city. 55 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.439 They don't do anything halfway, and they do their investigation and they pay 56 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.879 attention to what's going on. They're always looking out for the well being of 57 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.560 Bartlesville. And this is just a perfect example of it, because we are 58 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.920 not the only city that have decided to opt out for those very same reasons, 59 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.720 because there are so many unknowns in the litigation, so we don't want 60 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.439 to be caught up and settling something that we don't need to be settling. 61 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.879 And so, oh yeah, that's true. You know. Now, everybody 62 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:57.519 likes to have a clean town, that's true. Nobody wants to be that 63 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.519 one that's you know, a little on the rating side. Who wants to 64 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.879 do that? Not at all? And you know, That's one of my 65 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:08.720 favorite things is in community service and volunteering and have done that for many, 66 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:13.800 many years. Is working in our communities to make them look better because it's 67 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.720 just it's a good thing to do. It's a great way to serve your 68 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.800 community. And of course here one of the things that we started a couple 69 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.199 of years ago was our Brush Up Martlesville, which had to do with residents 70 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:29.480 and painting. We had some early Christmas presents this year to a couple of 71 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.199 families with trim and so makesious to put something in the city beat about that, 72 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:41.920 but we decided to approve an ordinance for the establishment of a Keep Bartlesville 73 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:47.120 Beautiful Committee, which will be a part of the Keep Oklahoma Beautiful and a 74 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:53.800 part of the Keep America Beautiful. And so I've worked with this organization from 75 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.639 almost from its very beginnings in Oklahoma and different cities, and it is just 76 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.639 a great way for volunteers to work in their community. There's actually funding attached 77 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:10.399 to this will budget twenty thousand dollars in next year's budget. There are opportunities 78 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:17.680 suit this organization for grants to do roadside and environmental projects that are environmental friendly 79 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:24.759 projects that I'm positive we could all agree on and a way for us to 80 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:30.000 organize volunteers that are already doing things in our community and just have a general 81 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:36.079 operation and there'll be a committee of seven people, and I think it'll be 82 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.439 very successful. I think it'll be well you will too, pardon me, 83 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.279 and an opportunity for us to work together and do some great things in Bartlesviel. 84 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.959 I think it's going to be great, going to be absolutely wonderful. 85 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:55.439 Speaking of wonderful, we have some people who have achieved some wonderful recognitions, 86 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.160 yes we do. You know, the firefighters held a dinner this year as 87 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.480 they do every year, and recognized Vaux Formbree. He was named Firefighter of 88 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.639 the Year. Excuse me, okay, and both's no stranger. He's been 89 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.000 with the fire department for a while, yes he has and has done a 90 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:16.120 great job. And of course Ace Ulrich was named Rookie of the Year. 91 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.639 And from what I understand working with him, it's hard to tell he's a 92 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.720 rookie because he is doing just a great job, really adapted to the position. 93 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.519 Huh. And you know there were some other firefighters that were recognized. 94 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.319 Chance Neeson he was reconciled. He received the Silver Life Saving Award, and 95 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:39.639 Justin Butterfield received the Meritorious Service Award. Cody Neeson received the Meritorious Service Award, 96 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.600 and Barry Campbell received the Meritorious Service Award as well. And so all 97 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.439 through the year, you know, our chief fire chief and our police chief 98 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:53.720 had been bringing forward our policemen and our firefighters who have been doing outstanding life 99 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.920 saving things in our community. Well, you know what, we just had 100 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:03.680 Brady, our fire Marshal, in here a couple of weeks ago, and 101 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:11.079 he is really gung hole about everybody having a safe Christmas so that your house 102 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.319 doesn't turn into a barbecue because December ain't no time for a barbecue. That's 103 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.720 true, you don't want anything like that going on in that You're absolutely right. 104 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.000 In the City Beat. By the way, I'll just do the plug 105 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.879 ride here for the City Beat. If you don't receive the City Beat each 106 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.879 week, that is a newsletter that's put out by Kelly Williams, our public 107 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.759 relations person, which she's much much more than that, but she does the 108 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.759 City Beat. You can receive that just by signing up free on City of 109 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.360 Bartleville on the homepage right there, and you can also see the archived and 110 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.000 if you want to know what we know, you can find out right there. 111 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.120 They save Beat because Kelly does a great job, but he did have 112 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:56.639 a there is a wonderful in the city. Beat Fire Department offers holiday fire 113 00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.080 safety tips and there are some great tips in there that we know, but 114 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.519 sometimes we forget about, of course when we're caught up in the season. 115 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.399 But probably one of my top priorities is we're all cooking, we have all 116 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.279 of our family in the kitchen. Is watching out for our kiddos, what 117 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.600 are they doing? Are they in the kitchen, they probably ought to be 118 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:20.320 playing somewhere else, watching them around candles and if we have our fireplaces going, 119 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.879 and so that is a big deal to me, is watching our kiddos, 120 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:26.039 where are they at and what are they doing? Because we do a 121 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.480 lot of unusual things during Christmas. And having a three and a half year 122 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:37.960 old grandson, he's full of energy and creativity and curiosity, and so for 123 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.080 sure. And then of course portable heaters, we know about that. And 124 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.600 our Christmas trees. If you have a live Christmas tree, be sure that 125 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.480 you keep it watered. I've seen a cedar tree go up, and it 126 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.960 can go up in just a moment. So there are some good tips in 127 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.000 there reminding us of what we need to be paying attention to this time of 128 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.000 the year because we're doing some different things than we do usually. Oh yeah, 129 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:01.960 we've got some events going on too. I wait, boy, do 130 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.440 we ever have some events going on? Do you know? Yeah? Where 131 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.679 do we start? Where do we end? I think we just dive into 132 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.440 it, don't. My goodness. I will tell you Bottlesville loves Christmas and 133 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.120 they love celebrating Christmas, and that is proven all across our little city here, 134 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.600 and every little organization is doing something as well as big organizations. Of 135 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.679 course, our biggest deal is Christmas in the Ville. I love that. 136 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.759 Will love my Goodness and her crew. You know, that's a tiny crew 137 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.600 with a lot of volunteers and it is a fun time every year. And 138 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.120 yes, Sunday my grandchildren were here skating down on the ice rink, and 139 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.879 so it is just a lot of fun. So of course we have all 140 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.840 that going on downtown. You know, it's really kind of cool. There's 141 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:50.600 some brand new businesses that into that refurbished little area and Keeler and Second Street, 142 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.639 and they were opened up on the opening night on Friday, and there 143 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.960 were people going, Oh, that's where you are, that's right, And 144 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.399 that's kind of the magic of what happens with Christmas in the vill People get 145 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.399 reacquainted with the bill's true, and there might be something new, there might 146 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.080 be something they haven't been to for a while, you know, But you 147 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.519 know, it's always great because what that does it brings so many people in 148 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:20.080 from all over the place to come visit our city and maybe spend a nickel 149 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.960 or two. Well, absolutely, we love it when they come and spend 150 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.519 their money here. But they have a great time and it's just magical downtown. 151 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.440 It truly is on Friday night that I know, it is exciting. 152 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.960 And then of course, you know, we have the lights going on in 153 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.840 Johnstone Park, which Rotary Club does an outstanding job with that. That is 154 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.240 very exciting and that's a drive through for free, but we hope you'll make 155 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:50.440 a little donation there. That, yeah, absolutely, And then of course 156 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.440 out at will of Rock Festivals, lights is going on out there on the 157 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.159 weekends. Right here in town, our Bartleswell Area History Museum is doing story 158 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.320 time with Santa Oh really, and I want to I've got to find my 159 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.840 paper here because I want to be sure and tell you when that's going to 160 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.600 happen, because they have, of course, they have Santa Claus there, 161 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:15.600 sure our Bottlesville Santa Claus and that's on Thursday, December twenty first, from 162 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.320 twelve to t to two. So they'll have crafts, they'll have refreshments, 163 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.600 the kids will just have a wonderful time.

Don't forget about our public library. There 166 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.840 are all kinds of things that go on down there and it is just a 167 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:41.159 wonderful place to go, young or old. The middle schoolers have taken over 168 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.039 from about three to five thirty, and it's so cool because they're all engaged 169 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.679 in something positive, right, And that's what it's all about, is, 170 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.559 you know, positive engagement, learning a few things, having a little fun. 171 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.159 And you know, when I when I'm taking a twelve thirteen, fourteen 172 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.480 year olds, a library usually doesn't come into mix, but our library is 173 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.080 like the big magnet for that age group right now. Well, libraries have 174 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:13.000 certainly changed whenever I was there. Actually have a library of things in books, 175 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.919 that's true, we do, we do. There are a lot of 176 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.759 different things which reminds me you're looking for special holiday baking cakes and those kinds 177 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.080 of things. There are cake pans. You can check out cake pans at 178 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.320 the Bottleswell Public Library. It's the library of right. I would just really 179 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.080 encourage anybody to and you might be able to dig a lesson or two because 180 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.639 we got the kitchen there kids. That's exactly right. There are all kinds 181 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.279 of you should go online. Take a look at that calendar because it is 182 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.679 cram full of activities that are going on at the library. And then the 183 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:50.080 White Rose. The dar ladies are going to be doing Reads across America this 184 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:58.799 year out at right rows White Rose Cemetery and they'll host the day and celebrate 185 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:05.919 them on December sixteenth. Last year, my granddaughter participated in Collinsville. Out 186 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.159 there Reads across America and goes on all across the nation, and it is 187 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.240 quite breathtaking to see them there, just beautiful. And so if you're interested 188 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.679 in helping with that or helping to support that, you can go to resacross 189 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.200 America dot org. Or you can contact any of our dar ladies, and 190 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.559 it is a very worthy cause. Of course, Shelley McGill, our librarian, 191 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.519 is also our cemetery director, and she can answer any questions you might 192 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:39.919 have for that knows everything she does that could never retire. She just smiles 193 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.480 and she does it's over there. She does such a great thing. That's 194 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:48.600 why we have that library of things and all those good things. And interestingly 195 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:54.320 enough, for what I truly appreciate in our staff and especially Shelley along with 196 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.240 others, is that they find grant dollars to pay for that, and so 197 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.120 it is. It's amazing how many grant dollars come into that library. And 198 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.480 that's all because of the tenacity of Shelley McGill and that that crew working on 199 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.440 that. You're always looking for a good opportunities. Absolutely, speaking of opportunities, 200 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.279 I understand we might have some jobs or positions open with the City of 201 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:20.360 Bartlesville. I will tell you I don't know that there. It ranks up 202 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.120 there in one of the top jobs in Bolsworth, Oklahoma, and people do 203 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:28.320 not realize the benefits and uh medical alone, oh my goodness. And and 204 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.159 not only that, but just the staff that you work with. These are 205 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.159 It is a great job, it is a great opportunity, and so I 206 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.320 always encourage young people don't forget about staying right here at home and taking a 207 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.720 look at the City of Barswell, because you can move up in in that 208 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.320 particular organization, just as in any large company and so, and it is 209 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:54.240 a large, a large organization. It has amazing things that are necessary and 210 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.799 also in you know, to enhance our community and keep us all safe and 211 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.159 sound. And so it's a great opportunity. And you can go on the 212 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:07.600 Bartlesville City Council city page and take a look at the positions there. You 213 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:12.240 can even look at what the benefits are, what kind of benefits come along 214 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:15.639 with that job. And then I believe the firefighters and the police, if 215 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.639 you go to their web page, then you can find out how to get 216 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.440 involved in both of those. And so I would encourage any young person that's 217 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:27.080 graduating out of high school, out of college to consider staying right here at 218 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:32.279 home in Bartlesville and working for the City of Bartlesville. Let your kids know 219 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.519 what your grand what your grandparents look like instead of pictures. Yeah, I 220 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.200 know how that goes. So we also have some boards and commissions. Yes, 221 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:41.799 we do. We talk about this every time we come on the radio 222 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:48.639 because you talk about a unique opportunity to participate in city business. Learn about 223 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.279 how the City of Bartlesville works. This is the greatest place to start. 224 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.720 And right now we've got openings on the Ambulance Commission and on the White Rose 225 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.799 Cemetery Board, and so you can check out that on our City a Bottlesville 226 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:06.200 website. There's where it taught. You can see all about all of the 227 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:11.079 commissions and trust authorities and committees that we have and also find an application if 228 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.440 you want to fill an application and be considered for one of these appointments. 229 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:22.440 It is voluntary position, and it most certainly is something that is not time 230 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.759 consuming that most certainly is very very important. And I've lived in a lot 231 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.720 of different cities. My husband was in city management, and this is really 232 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.960 a great opportunity and something you don't see in every city where they invite citizens 233 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.799 in. We we have twenty six committees. That's a lot of citizens involved 234 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:45.079 in our community because it's made up by the majority of citizens with a council 235 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.440 person and then a staff person on each one of those as well. So 236 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.920 great opportunity there. Thank you very much, Mss Billy. I appreciate you 237 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.000 being with us. And how can folks get a hold of you if they 238 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.359 have a question, Well, they can call me on my cell phone eight 239 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.039 five five nine two six three four. They can email me at Ward four 240 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:10.920 Council at Cityobartlesville dot org. And I'm happy to help anyone. My award 241 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.839 is Ward four, but none of our counselors UH turn someone down because they're 242 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.920 not in their ward. So you know, I'm always happy to help anyone. 243 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.519 And I most certainly want to wish everyone to marry Christmas, a safe 244 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:27.599 Christmas celebration and New Year celebration.
