Any other comments regarding this topic? Okay. As I said, we're not going to debate it tonight. We're going to use this input to think it through. But I do want to just say on behalf of our board and our staff that we did spend a year trying to do just that. And we do... feel strongly that we want a consistent service throughout the city and we want a quality service throughout the city. And so we're very concerned that if we We are concerned if we go piecemeal that will endanger that. But again, we are going to take all this input, think about it, and think about what options might be out there to create a win-win for everybody here. So we thank you for coming. And we have a very long agenda following this. If you would like to stay, you can. I think right now what we're going to do is go ahead and introduce the ordinance just for the first time. As you know, we vote on everything twice in order to approve it. So in order to kind of complete our discussion tonight, we will introduce the ordinance unless somebody doesn't want to. And then we will table it until our next meeting. Any questions? We have a lot of time to consider real things. Yeah, that's all right. We think it will. Well, we wouldn't have a final vote. Okay. Can you, can you, we're just only because the people on Zoom can't hear you. That's the problem. Come on.
