Thank you very much. I'll do a quick recap. Under resolutions, Councilman Sawyer has called out Resolutions 1073 and 1074 for questions under bills, for introduction. 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. Madam Secretary, would you please put the first items on our screen? And, Councilman Sawyer. Go ahead with your questions. Thank you, Mr. President. I just wanted to just be talked to the airport quickly about these two oil and gas contracts. I just want to clarify a couple of things, if you guys don't mind. Thank you. Hi. Rachel Marion, director of government affairs for Denver International Airport. Hi. Thanks. Thanks for coming tonight. I appreciate it. Just wanted to we sort of went through this in committee, but I just want to make sure for everyone watching at home this evening that we just clarify exactly what's going on with these contracts and what's happening as they come through. So can you just kind of talk a little bit about what these contracts are and what they're doing? Sure. So we currently have 76 oil and gas wells on airport property, most of which existed prior to the airport being built on that land. And what these contracts do are they fulfill our environmental and safety regulatory obligations. So checking on them daily to ensure that that leaks aren't happening and then responding in the case of any sort of emergency. What these contracts do not do is enable any sort of oil and gas production at the airport. Okay. And so the requirements that are in place, we are. Can you just explain we are required to have these contracts. In place. Sure. So on the federal level, we have Environmental Protection Agency, EPA requirements. At the state level, we have code CC, which is the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission requirements. And we also have Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment requirements with regard to all of our existing oil and natural gas wells. Okay. And so as long as we keep any oil wells that could potentially go back to being active, we are required to maintain these these contracts as active. Is that true? Correct. Okay. And so these contracts are for how long? The contracts are for three years with two one year extensions. One of the contracts, the existing contract expires at the end of this month. The other expires in December. So we're bringing them on to the same schedule. But it's three years with two one year extension options. Okay, great. And so there's just to clarify then there's no option for us to have these contracts not continue forward. We're required to have these in order to maintain these 76 wells on the airport land. Correct. So these contracts are necessary for us to meet our environmental and safety regulatory requirements as required by federal and state regulation. Okay, perfect. Thank you very much for clarifying. I really appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Councilwoman, to our Councilman Hines. Thank you, Mr. President. Hello. Hi. How are you doing? Great. How are you? I'm all right. Thanks for coming. So I have a few questions. So there was one example last. So the last actually couple of questions. When was the last time we extracted anything from these wells? All of our wells have been shut in since May of 2018. Okay. And there was one instance of a leak identified between May of 2018 and today. Is that correct? Correct. No more than one. No more than one. And then prior to the leak that happened earlier this year, the most recent leak was in 2014. And do you know how much leaked in the in that the 20. The one the recent one? I do not I do know that as a result of these contracts, we were immediately responsive and there were no incidents of environmental contamination after the leak was identified and remediated. Okay. How much would it cost to permanently close? I'm sorry. There's 76 wells. Four or five have been permanently closed. Is that right? We're in the process of the the correct term is plugging and abandoning. So we're in the process of plugging and abandoning five wells this year. Okay. And how much would it cost to plug and abandon all wells? The most recent estimate we have is $9 million to plug in, abandon all of the wells. Okay. Final question. I asked you this and I'll ask you again. If you if the if ten does choose to consider resuming production from any of these wells. You will give us the opportunity to discuss that in advance. Is that correct? Yes, absolutely. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Councilman Hinds. All right. Seeing no other questions on that item. That concludes the items to be called out this evening. Our bills for introduction are ordered published. We are now ready for the block vote on resolutions and bills on final consideration. Council members remember that this is a consent or block vote and you will need to vote. Otherwise, this is your last chance to call an item out for a separate vote.
