I have called out Constable 803 and 805 and under pending. No items have been called out. Did I miss anything? All right. Madam Secretary, if you please, with the first item on our screens. Councilman Hines, please put resolution 880 on the floor. I move that? God, I'm sorry. I'm with the Council Resolution 1980 be adopted. It has been moved and seconded comments by members of Council Councilman Hines. Thank you, Mr. President. I'm going to make a quick introduction. I saw Mr. Mauro here a second ago. I think he went over to overflow. Hi. I've heard from the press that there may be comments directed to you personally. To be clear, I want to direct all my relevant questions to the communication. Community communications. Excuse me. Community Corrections Director. Not to you personally, as in Mr. Moreau. So I think you're a good person. I think that you're doing a good job. I'm going to do my best to separate the person from the role. And if I've stumbled on highlighting that separation, I apologize. Also, I recognize that I may have a few more questions than I might otherwise normally have. I learned about this bill on Thursday when a Brownstein attorney called me to ask me for a yes vote, and I didn't know about it before then. So if this weren't a direct file to the floor, I'd ask these questions of most of them in committee. So who? My colleagues understand. So I'd like to start with some basic questions. Mr. Moreau, if I could have the director come forward. So thank you. And also the. A little bit. Also on my apology tour, just because the industry has been accused of placing kids in cages or running concentration camps doesn't mean that these kind of contracts are authorizing either one. So I'll just ask, do any of these facilities affected by the contracts place kids in cages? Well. First, let me say good evening, President Clark, members of Council Councilman Hines, to your question. No, thank you. And do any of the facilities affected by these contracts run concentration camps? No, thank you. So also, just because one of these companies is currently in the defendant of a class action lawsuit alleging slavery doesn't mean that these contracts are authorizing slavery. So do any of these facilities affected by the contracts use their inmates as slaves? No, thank you. So I want to set the stage for the next few questions. Denver City Council can either vote yes or no on contracts given to us by the executive branch. We can't make any amendments, so we asked for alterations a few weeks ago and we voted on the contract that was put for us forward. Forward to us. We now know that that particular contract was unpalatable for council. So, you know, if it was an unpalatable, unpalatable a few weeks ago, chances are pretty darn good that it will be unpalatable in six or 12 months when these proposed contracts expire. So I'd like to ask some questions to get a better sense for where we are now to set us up for a successful transition later. So what is different about these contracts versus the contracts we voted on three weeks ago? So Councilman Hines, just a point of clarification in my to respond to questions about other resolutions tonight or the one that's on the floor right now, because this is just a revival and a mandatory agreement. Oh, are we discussing just this one or are we discussing all three? Right now, the only one that's on the floor is 880. But I mean, I think if they're all in the same vein, then I think we can. You could ask questions about all of them, make comments, you know, or if someone specifically has one on another one, they will put those on the floor. And you have that opportunity at that time, too. But I think it's okay for you to answer all of them if you just wanna maybe want to clarify as you're asking, is this for all of them or a specific one? So. Mr. President, I'd also like to move 881 and 882 so that we can consider them all at the same time. I have I have thought we were going to go one at a time through on voting. But again, I think if you want to ask your questions and make your comments and then we'll just vote on them individually, if that's okay. Yes, sir. Thank you. And thank you for the clarification. So, yes, what's different about the three contracts that we have in front of us? I guess there's one new contract and then two others. Is that correct? Correct. I think there's a total of four items before council that have to do with community corrections. I'll start with 880. This is to revive and amend an agreement with Correctional Management Inc. for the fiscal year seven I'm sorry, fiscal year 18 and 19 final payment during the course of July one, 2018 through June 30 of 2019. CMI are Core Civic Incorporated provided services to an additional two individuals plus some additional treatment dollars. So as we move money around with all of our contractors at the end of the year, they exceeded their original budget amount. We moved money from underspent contracts and we were reimbursed from the state for the full amount. So. Okay. Should we go on ahead? I don't have any issues with this one. Should we go ahead and vote on it and then talk about the other two separately? Yeah, I think we already have this one on the floor, so let's just vote on it and then we'll move on to 81 and I'll kick it back to you. Yes, we think I don't see anybody else in the queue on this one. So, Madam Secretary, roll call on 880. HINES Eye. Black Eye. CdeBaca Eye for an Eye. Gilmore Eye. Herndon Eye. Cashman. I can eat. Ortega, I. Sandoval, I. Sawyer, I. Torres Mr. President. Hi, Madam Secretary. Please close the voting. US Results. 1339. As Resolution 880 has been adopted. I'm secretary, if you please, with the next item on our screens, on our screen. And Councilman Hines, if you please. Resolution 81 on the floor.
