It is the end of the week for some of us - and the beginning or middle of the week for others. The whirlwind that is the city and its services never stops, and often doesn't even slow down much. We appreciate all you do to help us build this amazing community. I feel fortunate every day to be a part of this team.
Today is a full day of meetings for us again. I met this morning on a project to do a small addition to the South Franklin Community Center and also with the steering committee on the City Hall/Public Safety facility project. We also have meetings today on some economic development projects, the new airport terminal, and the Provo River Delta Restoration project.
In the Mayor's highlights below, I hope you will take some time to watch her video tour of the new airport passenger terminal with a very popular social media influencer, hip hop producer and all-around good guy. It is worth a few minutes to take a peak inside!

NEWS YOU CAN USE

- You might have seen online or heard about “binaural beats”, which have been described as “digital drugs”. Listening to binaural beats has been claimed to help with sleep, stress, anxiety and cognition, and there’s much discussion online about whether or not they can cause a “high” similar to drugs.
- As it turns out, the ‘hot hand’ is a real basketball phenomenon – but only some players have the ability to go on these basket-making streaks.

UPLOAD PICTURES HERE!MAYOR'S WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS
This week, the Mayor took a special guest on a tour of the new Provo Airport terminal, along with about 200,000 of his followers. The video is 40 minutes long, but it really showcases the new building for those who haven't been out to see it.
FUN STUFF
Continuing the tradition, here are my favorite Internet memes of the wee.
I hope the weekend allows you some time to relax, and that stresslaxing is not part of your plans. Take care and stay safe.
Wayne
Wish I could have heard the Mayor better and the Special Guest less.
