Thank you, Councilman Brooks. All right, Madam Secretary, if you please, for the next item on our screens and Councilwoman Gilmore, go ahead with your comment. Thank you, President. Clerk. I just wanted to remind community members that we have. A courtesy public hearing next week for the far northeast area plan. And this is a very important plan because it will set our our zoning and growth for the area, we hope, at least for the next 20 years, if not further out. And just wanted to remind neighborhood members that this took 20 months for us to complete the plan and get it to this place. We had a steering committee of 18 community members or excuse me, 20 community members that met 18 times during the 20 month process and five community wide public meetings with hundreds of residents who attended . And I want to also thank the CPD staff. I see Cortland here, but also Eugene and Lily and Val. We spent many, many hours with them over quite a few months. And then Councilman Herndon as well for your partnership and this is for the communities of Montebello, Parkfield, Green Valley Ranch, High Point and all of Denver International Airport. So just wanted to invite community members to come to the courtesy public hearing next week. Thank you, President Clark.
