I'm just calling out these contracts, these this evening in a block so I can vote no on them. This is consistent with previous votes I've made regarding on call contracts. I've spoken to the airport about the issue, and they're aware of my concerns, namely that on hold contracts in this case up to $21 million subvert the council process laid out in numbers charter and do not allow for the transparency and accountability that my constituents would like to see. I want to know quickly that Daddy also has uncle contracts coming through this evening, but I've spoken to them and confirmed that those contracts were run through Daddy's new on call framework, which is significantly different and improves transparency and accountability issues around all of these on call contracts. As a result, I won't be calling those out tonight, but just wanted to flag that. So thanks so much, Madam President. All right. Thank you, Councilmember Sawyer. And seeing other hands raised.

Questions or comments by members of council will first go to Council Member Hines. Thank you. Council President I want to thank everybody for their work in getting responses to my questions that I asked them over the weekend to share the answer to one of the questions I asked, although we raised several concerns about these contracts. These contracts have not been changed to address the concerns we raised in committee or elsewhere. This contract is about is one where multiple values collide. On the one hand, I love that these contracts provide alternatives to cars, just like I believe housing needs a missing middle. I believe bankability micro-mobility could also be an equivalent missing middle for transportation. I believe the government has the responsibility to represent the people. After all, if we don't do it, who will? Private sector for profit companies have a mandate to maximize shareholder value.
