Yeah, he's. He's good on the. So under Bill's introduction, no item has been called out under Bill's for final consideration. No item has been filed out under pending. No items have been called out. Did I miss anything? All right. So, Madam Secretary, will you please put out one item which is 621 up on our screens? And Councilman Cashman, go ahead with your comment. Thank you, Mr. President. So I wanted to let folks know this otherwise innocuous looking contract marks the beginning of Denver's new neighborhood sidewalk repair program. This is the first time in our we've been building sidewalks throughout our city for, I don't know, somewhere around 150 years. And at no point during that last century and a half have we marshaled our troops and gone around the city to see what kind of condition these sidewalks are in. And I think if you're someone who takes a stroll occasionally anywhere in the city and county of Denver, you've noticed that our sidewalks are in a state of disrepair that needs to be corrected. So what the Department of Public Works has put together is a comprehensive program. We've divided the city into 11 regions. In early August, our inspectors are going to begin going block by block in the western section of Region One, which is, I believe, part of Councilman Clark's district, mainly a councilman news district. They'll go block by block, citing homeowners with trip hazards that need to be repaired. We've gone out of our way to increase the low cost repairs that homeowners can make on their own if they choose to not do it on their own. This shadow's concrete is our vendor that will go out and make the repairs. We will bill the homeowner. If the homeowners are meet certain income guidelines, there's a reduced price available on the repairs, extended payment options. The goal is not to be punitive on any individual property, but to create a system of pedestrian passages that allow us to actually get out and walk comfortably about our city and especially needed for anybody with any degree of mobility impairment, especially our brothers and sisters in wheelchairs. And I'd like to give a special shout out to Matt Bryner and his team at Public Works, who we've been talking about this program for about a year and a half , and we were all set to go in early April until it got to that point of, well, exactly how are we going to do this? And doing repairs in a built environment is a challenging scenario. And Public Works is has done a wonderful job of getting us ready to hit the ground running. So I thank them for the work they've done and hope everyone will be patient as this program unfolds. As I say, it's the first time we've ever done this. And if unforeseen problems crop up, we'll address those. And we hope to move forward and have our city in fine shape in the coming years. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Councilman Cashman. That concludes the items to be called out. All other 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 out an item for a separate vote.
