12 hours, one night, 1341 has been adopted. Thank you, Madam Secretary. Let's bring up 1395. This is for a comment and a vote. And Councilman Cashman, please put this on the floor. Thank you, Mr. President. I move that Resolution 1395 be adopted. Madam Secretary. Sorry. Yeah. He's going to. Oh, okay. According to 3.2.6 to the rules of procedure. Okay. So no vote is required. Why don't why don't you. Why don't you hold your hold your movement? Councilman Espinosa, why don't you go ahead and make a comment? Yeah. Yeah. Consistent with 3.2.6. I'd like to postpone this to the next regularly scheduled meeting. In light of the comments that we heard, you know, particularly right before this meeting, I think there is an appetite for a public comment as well. So I'll leave that up to, you know, your discretion on whether we do that or not. But I do think that I would still like to exercise my right to postpone this to the next regularly scheduled meeting. Okay. And accordance with our rules, it is postponed. We do not need a vote for that. Councilman Ortega. So I was going to ask for some information. So between now and next week, when it comes back, I would like to get information on where we are in the spin of the overall plant to park you Twin Basin Drainage Project. I'm not asking for that right at this moment, but we'd like to get the big picture on where we are with our full spend. Are we anticipating we are on budget? Do we think that we will be over budget? I know these are all broken out into different projects. We've got the Globe, the landing outfall, the 39th Avenue Channel, we have the Park Hill Golf Course in the City Park Golf Course, which were all brought forward as one big project. They've all been separated out. But I think it's important to know that with the wastewater fees, that is the primary funding source, whether we're on budget or anticipate and I know some of the construction hasn't started yet, but it would be helpful to know where we are in that big picture. Yeah. So I'm looking for that as well as information on who the BWB is. I saw that we've got a 23% goal, but would like to know who the contractor is. So thank you and. Have somebody get back to me. It looks like everyone on the team is nodding. A lot of team members here working on this. And I would also like to bring up you all. We kind of talked about this in committee, just the standards. This is the this is especially when it comes to the 39th Avenue Greenway. It's the closest to any residential. We had some folks in the neighborhood talking about how close this is to their homes and and that the protections and the standards that we will up in this location from any other location. I know we talked about there's some. Fencing. There are some, you know, mitigation around the dirt that we're going to be doing. There's some air monitor monitoring we're going to be doing. So, I mean, folks are really concerned about the contamination in the ground. And so if we can just have all that ready, that'd be great. All right. Sometimes. That's when I. Yeah. The reason why I was hesitant is I didn't run it by it, didn't check the calendar on on what we have for, for January 2nd and both January 2nd and January 8th fall within the time frame to act . But I would like to request a public comment and if for some reason the second is is too congested, maybe one of my colleagues would offer up another postponement to the eighth, but between either the second or the eighth, have a public comment, if it's possible. One. Okay. So, you know, at some point at some point, we we start to back up on on onto the 30 day shot clock. And I don't think we can only have more than one. But Councilwoman Ortega, are you up on this? Well, I asked my questions, but I think what's important is to. Show you the. Action tonight rather than think that we're going to deal with it when it comes back next week. So we should determine if if it's the second or the eighth is when it should come back with that public comment. Okay. Mr.. Mr. President, you can only postpone it one time, so it would have to be on the second. You can't postpone it again to the eighth. Yeah. I just point out that I thought we had that provision where another council member made sure I would recommend time. You could also postpone it. Okay, well, come on. We got to keep moving. I would like to request a public comment on January 2nd. Okay. And Madam Secretary, do you have have the schedule for January 2nd? There's one required public hearing and it's my understanding, another courtesy, public hearing on January 2nd that will be offered by Councilman Flynn in a few minutes. Okay. So it looks like we'll have this action on January 2nd. Yes. All right. All right. Thank you. Okay. Let's move on to 1396. And Councilman Flynn, I want you to put this on the floor as well. I'm sorry. Councilman Cashman, please put us on the floor.
