Thank you. I'll do a recap under resolutions. Council member Hines has called out Resolution 1438 for a vote and Resolution 1444 for comments under bills for introduction. No items have been called out under bills for final consideration. Councilmember Black has called out Bill 1475 for a vote and under pending, no items have been called out. Madam Secretary, please put the first item on our screen. Thank you. Council member Hines, please go ahead with your comments on resolution one four, four, four. Thank you. Council President. This is I guess I should have made sure this is a resolution for the contract at the for security. Of course. Now, I can't find it in an account. And this is the Securitas contract, correct? Okay, great. I want to thank Securitas and Safety and general services and so many people for for working through this. It appears that there was a bit of a miscommunication in the process. I want to thank Councilmember Ngige for delaying this vote for a week. Securitas has sent a correction letter to two current employees and that has helped fix any of the potential miscommunication. And and I just want to thank Securitas and SEIU because they are now partnering in the worker hiring and retention process, which has really helped really helped with the retention. Now that you know that they're working arm in arm, there is a memorandum of understanding as well. And I want to thank again thank everyone involved for working with that. I also want to thank Dan as well for for helping facilitate the conversation and bringing people together. I don't see Dan here tonight necessarily, but but I do want to make sure that the airport also gets some recognition and credit. So thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Councilmember Hines. See, no one else in the queue will go ahead and move on. Madam Secretary, would you please put the next item on our screen? All right. It looks like we've got it there. Councilmember Herndon, will you please put Council Resolution 1438 on the floor for adoption?
