No items have been called out under bills for final consideration. No items have been called out and under pending. No items have been called out. Did I miss anything? All right, Madam Secretary, if you please put the first item on our screens, which should be 485. Councilmember CdeBaca, go ahead with your questions on 45. Thank you so much, Mr. President. For 85, this is the bill for a tool that I think is incredibly important to our democracy. Lexis-Nexis is kind of the way that we can look up legal information at multiple levels of government. And so my question here is, who is this contract making LexisNexis available to in the city of Denver? Sky Stuart mayor's office. We actually have, I think, Chief Ron Thomas here. He's probably making his way in from the other room. So I'm going to have him come and try and tackle that question. Here he comes. And perhaps you can explain which components. Go ahead. If you could keep your mask on, even at the microphone. Sure, please. Thank you. I'm sorry, what was the question? So the question is, what applications are we using or what is this contract for? And who has access to it? So this is a suite of products that provide access to databases, law enforcement records, public records. It also provides crime mapping tools. And police officers have access to US city attorneys. It's unlimited access as far as licensing. So all city employees have have access to it. The Denver Police Department specifically has a policy regarding you can only you can only access it for law enforcement enforcement purposes. And so how would individual council officers be able to get access to, like LexisNexis outside of our central team? I honestly don't have the answer to that question. Does it go through or who does it? Guy Stewart might have an answer to your to that question. So I'm guessing here. But it sounds to me like you are thinking about the Lexis-Nexis functions that are more with the city attorney's office uses to do research on bills and other things like that. The police department uses it for a completely separate purpose. It's a separate tool from LexisNexis. We do have LexisNexis licenses through the city attorney's office. That is a limited number of those. But that's something I could have the city attorney's office follow up with you on who has access. Certainly, John Griffin would have access to those LexisNexis tools through the city attorney's office. But we can provide you with some information on that separate Huell, if that's what you're looking for. So our council office wants access to all of the tools within this suite if we are allowed. And so I would want some clarification. He mentioned that it was unlimited licenses and you said it is limited. So which one is it? So the LexisNexis tool through the city attorney's office is a limited number of licenses. I would have to ask Chief Thomas about this particular tool. I can tell you that for the Denver Police Department, it is unlimited licensing. Okay. So would it be available to council officers so we don't have to wait for the request when we're doing the legal research or using any of the tools in the suite? I'm sure that that could be made available. Awesome. Thank you. You're welcome. Anything else on this item, Councilmember? Okay. Um, Madam Secretary, if you please put the next item on our screens and that's 530. Councilmember CdeBaca, this one's also yours for questions.
