Council President Brossard: Thank you. I'll miss seeing Jack in his trademark hat and overalls. Law Director Gareau: Suspenders. Council President Brossard: Suspenders, right. Director of Finance Copfer, do you have a report this evening? Finance Finance Director Copfer: Yes, I do, Mr. President. • 1 echo Mr. Gareau's remarks. He was a very generous man, always volunteering for community projects at the Historical Society and others. He was also, I will remember, he was instrumental in getting our petty cash at the Finance Department increased. Because he would show up first thing Monday morning with hundreds, no checks from him, and be like, what do you mean you don't have change? So that's always been our little finance joke about him. So I remember him fondly in many ways. • 1 also attended last Thursday, as a lot of administrative people did, a young lady who is going for her Gold Star scouting project. Sophia, I think it's... go ahead and say it.... Mayor Jones: Beohmerle. Finance Director Copfer: • That's it. She had a really great project. She did a, her talk was on the View from Down Here. She's been disabled all of her life, and lives a very normal life. Just kind of tried to open the conversation and encourage open dialogue between people who might be uncomfortable with people with disabilities or overcompensate with people with disabilities, and just how people with disabilities may rather want to be treated and you can, you know, ways to talk with each other. It was very mature of her for her age, and I, you know, I'm always amazed at all the scouts that are seniors and doing these amazing projects because we, our community has a bright future and we need to make sure they stay here. • Additionally, we completed the Tyler system upgrade to version 2024-4. It wasn't a major change, but it was tested by city staff as all upgrades are in our test ID for several weeks before the upgrade went live on our production last Friday. • And lastly, I was fortunate enough on the one nice day this week, yesterday, to have golfed at Springvale; and even with all the rain that has happened, the golf course is in great shape. Not enough roll in my opinion. It was a little wet, so I couldn't get the ball very far, but it was in spectacular shape. So I think we're going to be in for another great season there, and that concludes my report, Mr. President. Thank you. Law Director Gareau: Was it the water that kind of interfered with your game?
