But because we are utilizing city resources currently, we are not allowed to speak either in favor or opposition of the substance of Charter Amendment 29. And so I just want folks to be my folks, members of the viewing public and us as colleagues, mindful of those ethics and elections restrictions that are applicable to us some handed over to Councilmember Lewis. Thank you, Madam President. And those restrictions and rules became even more official, because I see Kevin Schofield tweeted about them earlier. So they are certainly out there for the general public to have seen and be aware of. I essentially spoke to this measure. In my remarks on item one on the agenda, I would just stress again, pro forma ministerial vote to vote on this today does not indicate support or opposition to the measure, but merely as acknowledging the sufficiency of the process to request that the clerk move to do everything logistically that they need to to place this matter on the ballot for November. And given that move that we we do so adopt and proceed with the vote.
