I've just met a lot of wonderful people. It's great to work with them and land of the memory services the county offers to the 00:18:30
aging, which was very helpful to me personally as I was a caregiver for more than one family member. So it was nice to know what's 00:18:38
out there to help you do that particular role. And I particularly enjoyed the art show that we have started with our people over 00:18:45
50 to participate in and it's been wonderful to see. 00:18:52
The participation there and even after you retire, you can start a new talent and many of them are brand new artists. 00:19:01
Right. Great to see. So I appreciate the time to serve. Thank you. Yeah, we'll go down the horn. Commissioner James, thank you so 00:19:07

who are. We're more Gray in the temple. Thank you so much for working on behalf of the aging and well. 00:19:32
Yeah. And I and I would say the same thing. I think that you know all of the two of us on this board. 00:19:41

where we've had aging parents or grandparents that. 00:19:53
That that need assistance and so it's really wonderful that you're willing to take the time and help with with our aging 00:20:01
population because really I mean that's that's so important it's it's what got us to all where we are today right because of 00:20:07
parents and grandparents that. 00:20:12
Raised us and taught us the values that we needed to be able to get to where we're at. So thank you for helping and working with 00:20:19

valuable citizens over the dignity and and that's what you do on, on the AAA board. So I just thank you so much for finding those 00:20:54

Sure, if everybody wants to be great. 00:21:31
But nothing before that. 00:21:58
We ready? 00:22:01
1/2. 00:22:03
3123. 00:22:06
OK. Thank you. 00:22:10
All right. That concludes presentations and takes us on to proclamations. This is a big day here. 00:22:37
This is Erie Tigers Day and I'm pretty excited to see our Erie Tigers in the audience. We're going to celebrate the Class 4A 00:22:43
football and cheerleading state championships, so I'm going to read a few proclamations and we'll do them individually. 00:22:50
Whereas the Erie Tigers football team competed in the Class 4A state championship game on December 2nd, 2023 at Canvas Stadium in 00:22:59
Fort Collins. 00:23:03
And whereas against the Palmer Ridge Bears, the Tigers shine. Senior quarterback Blake Barnett scored two touchdowns and 00:23:08
intercepted a pass on defense. The Tigers defense stopped the Bears momentum in the fourth quarter to earn a 20 to 6 state 00:23:15
championship victory and whereas the victory showed grit, determination and teamwork to achieve a goal. 00:23:21
In previous seasons, Eerie advanced deep in the playoffs only to fall short of the championship. This year, they'll continue 00:23:28
practice and improvement. The Tigers completed their team model of unfinished business to earn their first football state 00:23:34
championship since 1997, and whereas those characteristics great determination. 00:23:41
Are ones in which we take the most pride. Yes, the athletic achievements are certainly special. However, the traits used to 00:23:48
succeed athletically will also be needed later in life. The fact that your young people are utilizing them to win state 00:23:53
championships as is confident they can achieve even greater things moving forward. 00:23:59
Now therefore, be a proclaimed by the Boardwalk County Commissioners that the 29th day of January 2024 be known as Erie Tigers 00:24:05
Day. Congratulations on the championship season signed by all 5 County Commissioners, coach and players. If you'd like to come to 00:24:11
the podium, we can help to have you up here for a moment. 00:24:17
I know. Coach, do you have a few words you'd like to share? Yes, Yes. First of all, thank you for inviting us and and recognizing 00:24:43
us. We really appreciate it. We also have to congratulate our coaches. Ross. 00:24:50
Six times they 10 cheerleaders, they set the standard at the high school or chase them. Now we're trying to get through where they 00:24:58
are, but these young men? 00:25:03
What you said is very accurate of these young men and the work they put in this year. 00:25:10
And the togetherness that they they created throughout the years was uncommon and the results showed at the end in that game was a 00:25:17
testament to them and and everything they put into the season. 00:25:23
So rather than and once again, really appreciate you for having us here. 00:25:30
And let one of these guys, because they all like talking a lot as far as of course we're going to make sure to have them have the 00:25:36

that the occupancy alignment is not only the most intelligent but most attractive player on the team and so your recognition of 00:27:25

Congratulations, The reason your state champions is because you set your mind to it. You worked hard and you achieved it. 00:27:39

Thank you. So first of all, just think so. I love you for having us again. I think it's become a fun extra tradition for us. Added 00:33:27
on to the success and congratulations to the football team and coach Geiger. It was really fun. Those state championships go 00:33:34
back-to-back weekends, so the weekend before our state championship we were at theirs and I don't think they know, but honestly 00:33:40
it's hard to get my kids to focus on their own state championship because they were so excited for football state championships, 00:33:46
so. 00:33:53
It was fun to share that and have those back-to-back weekends of celebration, but this team is special. Obviously 6 state 00:33:59
championships consecutively extremely difficult to come by. 00:34:05
That their hard work, their dedication, their best friends. As you can tell, they're their inability to quit talking to each 00:34:12
other. 00:34:15
Anytime. But it is fun to watch them come together and be able to hold each other accountable when it really matters to get things 00:34:18
accomplished. Practice Senate competition. So they're really special group. 00:34:25
It's awesome. Thank you Coach, and if someone from the team wants to say something then after that I'll have everyone go through 00:34:32
and introduce your name and here you are in school. 00:34:36
Oh yeah. I personally very grateful that this is like the team that we got as seniors for our senior, just because. 00:34:41
Seriously. Like, we have such a special bond and like, we're all just very best friends, so it's so cool to like. 00:34:55
Get to come together for something like a state champion and urge state championship. I remember like at state this would be like 00:35:02
my third, but like just looking at like our freshmen and like how excited they were. 00:35:08
Sorry. I literally like seeing how, like, special it is. So yeah, just our bond is like nothing else. And we're really like our 00:35:17
best friends. So yeah, sorry for talking. 00:35:23

Ladies, thank you so much for your commitment and your dedication to what you do. 6 State championships, You know, my mother used 00:37:15
to tell me, Scott, you're going to learn this bigger lesson from losing as you can from winning. But obviously you didn't listen 00:37:20
to my mother, so I'm good for you for not listening to my mother. 00:37:25
Stick with it to set the same kind of determination of life and you will succeed. And you know we need on both the cases of the 00:37:31
football team and of the cheer team here to thank your parents as well. You know your parents have a little sacrifice and and 00:37:36
y'all getting there and and and then believe in and support you as well. So go home, thank your parents and actually listen to 00:37:42
what they say because they're not so stupid. I have a senior in high school myself and he thinks I'm an idiot. 00:37:47
Congratulations, ladies. Good for you, Commissioner Freeman. I don't even know how to follow that. 00:37:55

This is Erie Tigers Day and I'm pretty excited to see our Erie Tigers in the audience. We're going to celebrate the Class 4A 00:22:43
football and cheerleading state championships, so I'm going to read a few proclamations and we'll do them individually. 00:22:50
Whereas the Erie Tigers football team competed in the Class 4A state championship game on December 2nd, 2023 at Canvas Stadium in 00:22:59
Fort Collins. 00:23:03
And whereas against the Palmer Ridge Bears, the Tigers shine. Senior quarterback Blake Barnett scored two touchdowns and 00:23:08
intercepted a pass on defense. The Tigers defense stopped the Bears momentum in the fourth quarter to earn a 20 to 6 state 00:23:15
championship victory and whereas the victory showed grit, determination and teamwork to achieve a goal. 00:23:21
In previous seasons, Eerie advanced deep in the playoffs only to fall short of the championship. This year, they'll continue 00:23:28
practice and improvement. The Tigers completed their team model of unfinished business to earn their first football state 00:23:34
championship since 1997, and whereas those characteristics great determination. 00:23:41
Are ones in which we take the most pride. Yes, the athletic achievements are certainly special. However, the traits used to 00:23:48
succeed athletically will also be needed later in life. The fact that your young people are utilizing them to win state 00:23:53
championships as is confident they can achieve even greater things moving forward. 00:23:59
Now therefore, be a proclaimed by the Boardwalk County Commissioners that the 29th day of January 2024 be known as Erie Tigers 00:24:05
Day. Congratulations on the championship season signed by all 5 County Commissioners, coach and players. If you'd like to come to 00:24:11

Six times they 10 cheerleaders, they set the standard at the high school or chase them. Now we're trying to get through where they 00:24:58
are, but these young men? 00:25:03
What you said is very accurate of these young men and the work they put in this year. 00:25:10
And the togetherness that they they created throughout the years was uncommon and the results showed at the end in that game was a 00:25:17
testament to them and and everything they put into the season. 00:25:23
