 Well, welcome everybody. I hope you can hear us. If you all just want to come in real quick. I'm David Bevel. I'm the director of public works for the city and today marks another important milestone in the progress of the reconstruction of City Hall. When finished City Hall will provide an open and inviting space for the public as well as all the employees. It gives me great pleasure to be part of this historic project and I would like to personally thank some of the team members, Bray Architects, Quash's Construction, all the trades that have been part of this project such as the steel workers, the electricians, plumbers, masons, carpenters, sheet metal workers and now the other trades that have been every day working on this project for our community. It's truly an honor to be part of it and your craftsman shows every day when I'm touring the site. So thank you. I also want to thank some of the team members from the Department of Public Works. Mainly I have two employees that have been really instrumental in this and we wouldn't be here today to this progress without Dawn Sokolowski in my office as well as Mike Wilmes have been instrumental in helping us get to this project. Lastly, I want to introduce and thank our city administrator Daryl Hoffland. We have Mayor Mike Vanderstien, their support as well along with the city council members here today have been instrumental in their vision and understanding and in supporting of this project. So with that I want to introduce Daryl and let him have a couple of words. Thank you. Thank you, David. Again, I appreciate the invitation to speak before you today. This is a great event. We're roughly halfway there. It's great to see so many people out here to support this project. You can tell the excitement that the employees have. Even though we appreciate that we found temporary sort of housing for our staff in our offices, this is going to be exciting for us to come back. What's interesting is that we're just a few feet away from a new glass enclosure that will be really the entrance to the new City Hall building. Two words come to mind when I think about this new glass enclosure. One is transparency and the other is inclusiveness. The definition of transparency is the lack of hidden agendas and conditions accompanied by the availability of full information required for collaboration, cooperation and collective decision making. Inclusiveness is the environment of letting people in and making them feel welcome. I hope that this building forever will be a symbol of that for our city government. Thanks again to the taxpayers of the city of Sheboygan, to the leadership of the Common Council and its members, to all the city staff that will be a part of this building for their careers and all the future staff members. Matt Quascius, on behalf of the general contractor, all the subs that are here today, thank you for the quality of your work. Bray Architects, again, as Dave mentioned, two key staff members in public works, as well as Dave himself, Dawn and Mike and, of course, Dave, Mayor Van der Steen. So, again, thank you for being here and I look forward to the ribbon cutting in a few months. Mayor Van der Steen. Thank you very much, Darryl. It's great to be here for this topping ceremony. This is kind of like a midpoint where we've accomplished an awful lot, but there's still very important work to finish up. You know, the Mayor's International Committee traditionally has decorated the City Christmas tree every year in this building and they would have done this tomorrow night, except for this construction project. So it's really great to see that our construction company, Matt Quascius, here, that they're going to replace this opportunity and still make sure that the City Hall has a Christmas tree to go through this holiday season. And again, I want to give a lot of credit to David and his staff. You know, they've done an amazing job working with all the contractors, with all of us. What do you want in the building? How can we make that happen? David, thank you so much for everything you've done and continue to do on this project. So with that, I'm going to turn it over to our contractor, Matt Quascius. Matt. Thank you, everybody. Thank you, guys. This is really an exciting project to be a part of. Thank you all for being here today. We are very, very pleased with the project progress so far. We are ahead of schedule right now and we're going to keep the foot on the gas. This has been really a joy to be a part of this project. The city has been great to work with. Bray has been great to work with. We are blessed to have a lot of local trade contractors on the job who have really worked hard and worked well together to keep this project ahead of schedule and the communication has just been great. So I just want to say thank you to all of our guys, all of the contractors and members from other companies today for all the work you've done. It's really been great. I'd also like to recognize some people from our team in particular. You guys have done an awesome job. Tracy Wilson, our project manager. Todd Higgins, our project superintendent. Alicia Dawn, who's videotaping me right now, our project engineer. These guys are really busting their butt to make this thing happen for the city. And I just want to say thank you for all the work you guys are doing. Keep it up. Thank you. Aside from that, you know, they always stick me at the end of these things. So like everybody's either cold and freezing and ready for something fun to happen. So thank you for coming. Let's sign the beam and get it up there. All right. And we have 180 days left until we can move back into city hall for our first council meeting on the beginning of June and June 3rd. He's ready.
