Good evening, everyone. It's Tuesday, January 13th. We're going to start our regular Clayton City Council meeting with a couple of discussion items. The first is a discussion about a Black History Month event and then a discussion about our Shaw Park Tennis Center lighting. I think our economic director, Gary Carter, is going to talk about our Black History Month event. Thank you, Mayor. I will attempt to be as brief as I can to save you time for your lighting discussion. So I don't know if you remember, but back in the fall, late summer, we had a conversation. and whether you wanted to attempt another Black History style event like we did last year, and the direction was to pursue something and see what we could come up with and then bring back the options to you. Admittedly, we are at the final hour of making that selection, but we'll come back to that statement at the end of this presentation about future as we conclude here.
