11 eyes. 11 Eyes. Resolutions 377 through 380 have been adopted. Madam Secretary, please put the next item up on our screens for us this evening. Councilmember Sandoval, would you please put resolution 381 on the floor for adoption? I move that resolution 381 be adopted. Thank you. And we have it moved and seconded questions or comments by members of council. I am going to make the first comment. I've called this out because I am going to abstain on this tonight. My brothers, my brother in law excuse me, brother in law is construction company Gilmore. Construction is a sub on this particular contract and so I will be abstaining this evening. Councilmember Sawyer, did you have any additional comments to make? Thanks, Madam President. I made my comments earlier. This is one of the the previous block, but because you had called it out to abstain, it is just being voted on separately. So I'll be a no on this one as well. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Madam Secretary, roll call on resolution 22, dash 381, please. Oh, I'm sorry. We will go ahead and pause. Councilmember Ortega. We're. And right before he made that statement, sir, I saw that. I just want to add that I was in Councilman Sawyer's shoes a number of years ago before we started receiving reports from primarily three of our department's public works, which is now known as the Department of Transportation, Infrastructure and Parks and Recreation and Denver International Airport, known as Den. We first got reports from Public Works on all their uncalled contracts because we started seeing waves of them coming through where, you know, some of them had very high ticket prices and that was the only time we would see those contracts. They would have many bids after that, and we weren't seeing any data on how they were being used, how many were being used, which ones were not being used at all. So. Those reports really have helped significantly. Parks and Rec then followed and we got the first report from then this week on their uncalled contracts. And I think if council members have concerns about data that we're not getting, we should express that. But. That has helped tremendously in terms of making sure that we know how those are being used. And there's that tracking system. Any of those that are using women in minority businesses, we get that additional data from our Office of Contract Compliance, now known as the SBA. There's all these acronyms for our agencies. It's hard to keep keep track because the names change from time to time. But we are now getting the data. And I just have to say that Phil Washington and his team have been doing an incredible job with being very transparent about the projects or being that are being brought before us for approval, as well as answering all the financial questions, which was one of the missing pieces when we had the Great Hall brought before us, when some of us got the contract on the Great Hall, the financials were not part of that. How do you make a decision when the heart of the deal are the financials and you don't get to see that? That hasn't been the case with these projects that are being brought forward. The expansion of the gates are very important to the growth of the airport. I just flew in on Saturday on a flight that had to wait and sort of fly over a little further north of the airport because the gate wasn't ready. And these gate expansions are very critical to being able to get the planes to the gates on time so that people can be, you know, move through the airport. And I also appreciate the work and the discussion that we had at our last meeting about just how all the assets are being tracked. And we will be getting a complete report on that. There's an updated management system that is being used to ensure that we're tracking which of those actually have warranties on them. So we're not paying for work that is still warranted and we're taking advantage of of those things when we have any of those assets that break down . So I just am saying all of this didn't say that with the previous bills that I will be supporting this tonight because I think we have a leader that is being very thorough and attentive to the expectations that we have and wanting to see more information before we're making decisions about what we're voting on. Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Councilmember Ortega, and see no other speakers in the queue. Madam Secretary, roll call on Resolution 22, dash 381, please. BLACK Hi. CDEBACA No. All right.
