Espinosa Abstain. Flynn, I. Gillmor. I Cashman. Can each new Ortega. Sussman Black. Brooks Clark. All right, Mr. President. All right. Can you, Madam Secretary, please close the voting announce results. Lebanese one abstention. 11 I as council bill 874 has been adopted. Let's move on to 896. That's you. Councilman Brooks. Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. ShotSpotter is a technical assistance program that works with the Safety Department, specifically the police department, to identify the location of gun guns being fired. And, you know, we have seen that this has been highly successful in the city. And I just had a question if there's someone from the Department of Safety. Once you get that question. So my question is, is this resolution? So let me ask this first. So what we had in our neighborhoods with ShotSpotter to begin with, do we not have an agreement with ShotSpotter? And now, is this a resolution to set forth a formal agreement? Thank you, Councilman. And for the record, I'm Captain Steven. Carter with the Denver Police Department. I'm also program manager for ShotSpotter. No, we did not have a prior agreement with ShotSpotter. The program was purchased on behalf of the city and county of Denver by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. They provided first year funding. We wanted to see if there was an efficiency and effectiveness to it that we would then adopt it within our budget. Okay, great. I just want to just make a comment. I have personally sat with victims that we have caught because of this technology. Just want to thank you and your team for working so hard on this. And I hope that we can expand this to other hot spots within the city and county in Denver. Thank you. That's our hope. Thank you, sir. All right. Thank you, Councilman. Councilman Flynn, you called out 843 on page six. What would you like to do with that? I guess I just have a question for parks. Go ahead, Scott. Probably that question. Thank you, Mr. President. Hi, Scott. Hello, Councilman. Are you good? As you know on in this agreement with Denver water, the saiga one of the provisions in my page just flipped on me. Hold on. At 5.2.2.5, we are agreeing to update the scope and scale of the program through which we're converting some of our turf in our parks, our green longs to natural areas. And as you know, that's been a source of a sore spot in my district in some of those smaller parks where the conversions look more like we just forgot to mow them. And I want to make sure that as we do this through 2017, I think it says here, April 30th, 2017, to complete this update that we include a pretty robust neighborhood outreach around any of the parks where we are considering making this fundamental change in how they look and that we get neighborhood input. Do you know if that will be part of the plan? Yes, that's Scott Gilmore, deputy executive director of Denver Parks and Planning. Yes, that will be something that we will definitely do. I actually was talking to staff today about just, you know, we're doing these conversions. And, you know, last week we just had this huge sustainability conference. And a lot of this the next point is 5.2.2.6. And it talks about sustainable park systems. And, you know, a lot of these conversions are really to try to make sure our park system is at a sustainable level.
