Thank you. I'll do a recap here. Under resolutions, no items have been called out under bills for introduction. Council member Sawyer has called out Council Bill 20 1-1192 for a vote under bills for final consideration. No items have been called out under pending. No items have been called out. Madam Secretary, please put the first item on our screens. And Councilmember Black, would you please put Council Bill 1192 on the floor for publication. Yes, I move that council bill 21-119. To be ordered published. Thank you. It has been moved and seconded comments by members of Council on Council Bill 1192. Councilmember Sawyer. Thanks, Madam President. I called this out this evening so I can vote no. This is the ARPA funds. First and most importantly, I want to thank the Department of Finance and host for their fantastic work over the last 18 months. Our city's in a solid financial position because of their leadership. And if the residents of Denver who are watching tonight don't know, you should be incredibly grateful to them. I truly, truly appreciate the thoughtful decision making process that went into allocating these funds. But at the end of the day, I can't support $4 million for safe outdoor spaces. Recovery Plan Act funding is meant to be for us to invest in long term solutions. And so sites are not a long term solution. I recognize that the value that the Colorado Village Collaborative has added to our city, but the residents of my district have made it clear that they believe housing requires a roof and a door, and therefore I will be a no tonight and next week as well. Thanks, Madam President. Thank you. Councilmember Hoyer. Councilmember Hines. Thank you. Council President, I. We're in a housing crisis right now. And while I don't believe that the safe outdoor space is a an appropriate long term solution, we need middle term and near term solutions. And I know that District ten hosted the first to see if outdoor spaces in our city and in the metro area, frankly . And we received more than a thousand emails in opposition to to the safe outdoor spaces before they opened. But since they opened, once they opened, they were transformative. We had zero calls, the police department. We had people who moved out of homelessness, out of street homelessness, up the spectrum into housing. We had people who got doctor and dental services for the first time in a long time. And the neighbors also found that it was totally unlike the unsanctioned encampments that were that continue to plague all of areas in our city, but particularly in District ten. So I think that the safe outdoor spaces are an amazing option that we've added to our tool belt here in the city. Before this piece of our sites opened, we had no solution for people who wanted to stay with their partners, no solution for people who wanted to stay with their their pets. And I don't know if I didn't have anything, if all I did was sleep on the street and I had a dog. I would not let that dog go. Just to. Get into a shelter. Sorry. So I think that the NSA websites are transformative, and I'm excited that there's $4 million set aside for its sites. Thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Hines. Seeing other folks in the queue.
