I just wanted to thank to the board members in the audience tonight. It's been a long night. Appreciate you being here. And I think you guys had a board meeting today, too, so it's been a long day also, but that's Brett Lewis and Leigh Vera. They've done an outstanding job. They've basically taken over running the bid. And we really appreciate what you guys have done. Thank you. Thank you very much. Councilwoman Pryce. Thank you. I want to echo that and thank is the president, Lee Vieira and Brett Lewis and and the entire board of directors for leading the business community and positively influencing the city's economic landscape. Is there I know is working hard to support more than 600 businesses within the district and the board is instrumental in empowering local businesses to achieve their business goals. I look forward to speaking at SBA on October 27th, and I know that Councilman Superhot and I share mostly it's Councilman Supervised district, but we have a few a sliver of businesses that fall within your jurisdiction. And I want to thank you for all you do for all the businesses and and those in the third as well. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman Mongo. I'm going to go back to Councilmember Super now. I, too, want to thank your business association for all the great things that you've done. I've enjoyed meeting with your business owners on several occasions, and I think that you're a model of what an organization can be. While your SBA, we have SBA over on our side of town and they look to you guys for guidance and hopefully potentially a name change. So people won't confuse us so much anymore. But at the end of the day, as long as they shop local, we're all winners. Thank you. Councilmember Brown, I. Was just going to say, I apologize for not having the I-Team there to present, but we have so many great speakers. And Councilwoman Pryce, it's hard to work a man. So. Thank you, guys. Thank you.
