Music. First thing is the fire department is a little bit nervous about the number of people in this room and the folks that are standing. So right behind me in the Weimer room is a nice big comfy room. If you get back there soon, you can get a nice comfortable seat. And please come back if you want to speak or something comes up on the agenda that you particularly want to hear. But if we could cut the crowd back a little bit, particularly those who don't have seats or standing, that would be great. Also, if you have a cell phone and you have not silenced it already, this is a great time to do that. So we will begin tonight with an invocation by Pastor Orlando Barella from Household of Faith Family Church to be followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Council Member Ariana Barrios. Please stand. Mayor Slater, members of the Council, citizens of Orange, let's pray. Our gracious Father, we come to you today in the name of Jesus, asking you, Lord God, to watch over our city. I thank you for this city, Lord. This is a place where we chose to make it our home. Father, we don't always agree on things, but Father, let us be a city that can work together. Father, I pray for our mayor and our council and ask, Father, for your wisdom. Give them guidance, leadership, direction, Father, that they would be able to hear your voice and be led by your spirit, Father. Lord, as we get ready for elections, remind us, God. Remind us, Father, that we can never make ourselves look good by maki …
