You did good. You answered a question. Good job. Way to go. All right. So we're going to go on to the next one. Madam Secretary, please bring up 40. Yes. Go ahead and ask your question. Counsel, Marty. Okay. So this one was a. So my question in this one was whether or not the cost of the legal services has come out of the 800 million earmarked for national Western or if it is general fund dollars that are paying the cost of the legal services for National Western Center. So I think we have someone who can answer that question. Hi, Councilwoman. I'm Joann. Walburn. Assistant city. Attorney. Those dollars. Are general fund dollars that were appropriated to the city attorney's. Office. We don't we. Can't use the capital dollars that are set aside for the capital build. For those purposes. So this is part of the overall cost that the city is incurring, which is part of the National Western Center office, if you will, that is paying part of the costs that are not covered by the. The funds that were approved by the voters. Correct. I just want to be clear. They're a part of the city attorney's budget and not the mayor's office of the National Western Center. Okay. That's right. But otherwise, yes, they are city dollars going to support the National Western Center project. Okay. Thank you. I think at some point it would be a great opportunity to have an update. I know periodically they do updates on the progress of the the project itself. But, you know, where are we in in the finances and the spin that we have been drawing down on the National Western Center, both both city as well as from the the the funds from the project. Right. Councilmember take I'm looking at our chair of LUDI for just a little head nod and also Gretchen, who's the head of National Western Authority. So, um. Yesterday at our regular. Updates, they also gave us a report on the finances of the, of the project. Okay. If you can just let us those of us who are not on the committee know when that's coming. That would be helpful. Thank you.
