I'm pinch hitting here for Councilmember Mesquita. This resolution will adopt the mid plan progress report for what is a state mandated integrated resource plan for Seattle City Light. It's actually required by our state statute and it requires City Light to invest in a broad resource mix. What I like about this is it's a long term planning tool to ensure that our utility prepares for the next 20 years, and we're doing a lot already and have been for decades to increase conservation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So this effort really supports the resolutions out of this council toward carbon neutrality and to meeting our growth loads through conservation and renewable energy. And just as a heads up as we are going to be looking at the new City Light director and going through this committee is that I want to dovetail on this resolution. To require and. Really explore clean energy options and a national transition plan what Seattle City like can be doing locally and through the state as a leader. So you will be hearing more about this. But in the meantime, this resolution adopts this mid plan update and it came out of our committee unanimously recommending full council approval. Thank you. Any further questions? Those in favor of adopting the resolution please vote i. I. Those opposed vote no. The motion carries the resolutions adopted and chair will sign it. That concludes our agenda is only for the business coming for the Council. If not, we stand adjourned and everyone have a great rest of the afternoon. Thank you.
