Motion carry. Make Saddam. Report from Development Services recommendation to approve the fiscal year 2017 Action Plan. The first substantial amendment to the Fiscal Year 2016 Action Plan, and the third Substantial Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2015 Action Plan for the Expenditure of Community Development BLOCK Grant. Home Investment Partnership Grant and Emergency Solutions Grant Funds Citywide. It was the motion in a second. Is there any public comment? Could you. Come forward. Very good. You can see the address. I'll be brief. I'd like to suggest that no action be taken in terms of expend in spending the moneys unless and until. Unless and until it is received a thorough. Audit is a. The auditor has the chance to present a thorough analysis by her office of where the money's going and how sound the project is. Given the dollar amounts and the budget situation. This city is facing. Just makes sense to do so. To not do it sends up further red flags that there's some serious problems here. Thank you. Speaker, please. Karen, recite again. And I feel your pain, Mr. Mayor. And since I didn't see Mr. Good you at any of the community sessions and I went to several of them. I just want to commend city staff, specifically Alam Hagos, who did an absolutely amazing job. A lamb works tirelessly for the city and does excellent work. And he dealt with very contentious community members over the development of the plan. He handled everything with grace and elegance. This man deserves a raise. He was fabulous. He did an amazing job. The plan presented a very clear explanation of what was encompassed in this application to HUD, and the explanations were very clear. There was very deep discussion. Not a lot of you all were there. I bet a lamb handled it really amazingly well, and I wish everything in the city was done with such simplicity and delicacy and aplomb when dealing with the community. And everybody felt by the end of the meetings that they were heard and listened to. And I know that always doesn't happen at community meetings. So I would say that I wholeheartedly support the plan that's being presented to go forth to head. And again, want to commend a. Thank you. Any other public comment? C9 members, please go ahead and cast your votes.
