I'm going to pass this to Council Member Herbold. Appreciate it. This legislation would authorize the acquisition of the property at 3137 38th AV.

The number of emails and phone calls we've received over the last few days is really inspiring. It's a great reminder of how many people have been working on this, on this issue.
