11 I. One abstention. 973 passes. Okay, please bring up 939. Great Councilwoman. 99 is up. Councilman Ortega. This is just for comment. Yup. So, first of all, I want to thank Krystal de Herrera, deputy city attorney, for getting over an updated letter. It's actually a memo that was written by Mayor Hancock and addressed to the National Western Center Authority. Chairperson So this will go to the board when they are seated. But what it does is spell out the mayor's expectations of the board. And initially, when this was shared with the members of the Community Advisory Committee, it had the verbiage the authority should, and it was changed to will in several of these bullet points. And so I just wanted to thank her for this change that has been made. I'm talking about you as you walk in the door. And I think this is really important because it's it's not leaving it up to chance. It's it's pretty definitive that these things will be done. And that's an expectation from the mayor of the advisory board. The last thing I mean, advisory board, but the authority board members, I so when we had this discussion last week and we had the public hearing on this, we didn't know that the executive director of the National Western Center, Kelly Lead, was going to be stepping down and moving on to other things. So I just want to reiterate my appreciation to you, Kelly, for the work you've done moving not only this project, but all the projects that you've started with the DCC. So, you know, you've got big shoes to fill. And Gretchen, you've been there every step of the way as well. So you'll be stepping into Kelly's role and the fact that you've been there means that you won't miss a beat. And so I wish you well and looking forward to the next meeting on the 28th and just appreciate all of the efforts. So thank you, Kelly, and Godspeed with you in your next chapter of your life. That. Thank you, Councilwoman. Or your client for his. Thank you. Councilwoman Ortega, I think I think those words are just right in. And I want to say a couple words as well. That one, this isn't the end of the conversation, I think for the community piece that there's ongoing conversations. I've offered up my time as president to continue letting the mayor hear the feedback from the community. Specify criteria of the chosen selections on this board. So I still stand by that and look forward to meeting with the community on that. And thank you, Councilwoman, for for being there and walking with us through this whole issue. And then, Kelly is it's been a fun ride. Many of us came in with Kelly Councilwoman to take in each council, Councilwoman Sussman and also oh yeah, earned it. We all came in 2011 when you were the development services director, then on to NBCC and now you know, the National Western Center and on to what you're gonna be doing privately. And so thank you for your service. Thank you for always improving systems, for being factual, for being consistent, for being transparent. I think you've done a great job. And so we we, you know, excited for the next step. We bitterly say bye, but thank you for all your hard work. And Gretchen, you're going to do a great job. Excited for you to take over the reins here. So with with no further questions, no one call the software vote. So we're going to we're going to fold this into the package.
