No items have been called out under bills for final consideration. No items have been called out and under pending. No items have been called out. All right, Madam Secretary, would you please put the first item on our screens? And, Councilwoman Gilmore, you've called out 318. What would you like for us to do with this one? Thank you, Mr. President. I'd like to call this out for a separate vote to abstain, because my brother in law's company is the vendor. Thank you. Councilman Espinosa, will you please put Resolution 318 on the floor for adoption? I move that resolution 318 be adopted. It has been moved and seconded comments by members of council. Right. Councilman Ortega. Thank you, Mr. President. Sorry. Can you hear me now? Yep. I'm not speaking specific to this particular one, but to all of our on call contracts. I had requested some information from public works, which I received and I am now going through. As you know, I have continued to ask a lot of questions about. Looking at how we determine. You know who gets these contracts? Which ones get renewed and have funding added to? We don't see on the front end how many of them will have an BWB goals attached to them. And I think this is our process of us being able to approve all of these contracts, and I think we need to look at shoring that up more so so that when we want to look back and see what the impact is that we have had from uncle contracts, making sure that as folks in our in BWB community have have shared concerns in the past, that sometimes they think this might be a way of circumventing the BWB process and without always being able to get the data on how many have we used, how often have we used them, how many did we never use at all? And it's expensive to go through responding to an RFP and then finally getting one and then maybe never even being utilized. And so until we see the data, we don't know what all of that is and what that shows. And so I'm going through that and maybe recommending some changes to our process so that we have a better way of looking at them to ensure we know exactly what is happening with the spend. You know, with all of these coming through tonight, they can spend up to $5 million on the projects. And, you know, we don't know what those projects are at this point in time that are going to be funded through these on call contracts. So having that information to look at, I think is going to be helpful to us in the future. Thank you. Katherine Ortega. Seeing no other comments. Madam Secretary. Raquel. Gilmore and Sting. Black. All right. Espinosa. Flynn. All right. Cashman. I can. I. Lopez. I knew. Ortega, I assessment. Mr. President. All right. I'm secretary, please. Because voting announced the results. Tonight as one abstention. Ten eyes, one abstention. Resolution 318 has been adopted. Can you put the next item on our screens, please? Councilman Ortega, you have a question on 296?
