Thank you, Councilmember. All right. That concludes the comes on this item. Madam Secretary, if you put Resolution 385 up on our screens and council member Ortega, go ahead with your comment. Thank you. I just wanted to express my appreciation to Parks and Rec and specifically sensory EADS, who is one of the parks planners who has done an amazing job continuing to find resources to keep the work that is so important and desperately needed to address some of the drainage issues but really create a beautiful park at Carpio Sanguinary. And I think any of you who have been over there, you know that we have Heron Pond and the Heller property all adjacent. And then wastewater funds were used a number of years ago to purchase an additional 20 acres. So it makes up almost 100 acres in that area, which is just an amazing assemblage of land that has an incredible. If the plans for it had a lot of community input and will have some amazing amenities that will serve the community. And I just wanted to do a shout out to Sensory for her amazing work in continuing to find the resources to keep this project on track. So thank you.
