No items have been called out under Pendine. No items have been called out. Madam Secretary, if you would, please put the first item up on our screens. And I'm thinking we might need to move. Nope. We've got him coming right back in. We've got resolution four, two, one on the floor. Councilmember Cashman, we know you're headed back to your seat, but I know that you wanted to make a comment on resolution for two one this evening, sir. Thank you for your patience, Madam President. Yeah. We had this bill come before us last week. County court brought a bill forward to extend a contract for collections that's within to grow. That's been in place for a little bit. And to reinstate collections on amounts $300 and under that had been put on hold due to some programing issues. This council decided that it wasn't ready to reinstate the 300 and below provision, with some concerns that the collection of fines be equitably undertaken and not unfair to any certain groups. So the Court all of us received a letter from Kristen Wood, court executive this past week, bringing this matter back with simply an extension of collections over that limit and promising to participate in an equity assessment and working with our partners at the Office of Financial Empowerment and Protection to be sure that if it is decided that they would like to move forward in the future, that there will be more information which we might base our decision. So I agreed to direct file this, and I'm comfortable with a two year extension of the existing contract with no additional provisions. All right. Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Councilmember Cashman. And we're going to go ahead and move on then. Madam Secretary, would you please put the next item on our screen and we're going to go to Council Member State Abarca. If you go ahead with your comments on Resolution 375, please.
