Oh four question. Great. All right. All right. And we have, uh, councilman new four question four 322 So, Madam Secretary, please bring up Council Bill 321 and 22 to be adopted. And actually, Councilman Flynn, I just to take your star, your thunder a little bit. Will you put resolutions 321 and 322? On the floor. Yes, Mr. President. I never thought of it as thunder, but I'll try to live up to that. Maybe lightning. I, I move that resolutions 321 and 322 be adopted in a block or. Oh, right. It's been moved. We need a second. Great. It's been moved. And second, because Councilwoman Gilmore. Thank you, President Brooks. I will be abstaining on both of these resolutions due to my brother in law having an interest in the project. Thank you. All right. Good reason to abstain. Thank you, Councilwoman Gilmore. Councilman, New York, your question? Just a question, Aaron. There have been a lot of discussion about the extension of this first phase of evaluation for the Great Hall, and I didn't know whether this additional funds was related to that extension is yes. Aaron Barraza, Denver National Airport. This is adding funds to the KPMG contract as part of this extension. Okay. And in the discussion we had earlier about the reasons for the extension, I wasn't really sure what those reasons were. Could you elaborate on that? Sure. So our whole our whole idea of this pre-development phase has been to really get this done right. And so we're taking our time with this. And we've taken this project in different phases. So right now, in trying to do this right, we need to we need to go through the process about a month or two longer . And once we do that, we'll be ready to submit a development agreement to the first City Council approval. But in extending that time, we do need more funds for the KPMG, KPMG contract and for the Norseman contract. And what were the issues related to doing it right? So there was a there's three major issues. One was security. We've we have we've had some turnover in the TSA. So working with our partners at TSA and reeducating them on the project that we're doing was one of them. Customer service was another one. We don't want the Great Hall to become just another shopping center, so to speak. So we wanted to make sure that we incorporate a lot of customer service into the projects. And the third one, sorry about that, customer service security and bracing in the Great Hall. So when it comes to construction, there was a lot of unforeseen that came up during the during the pre-development phase. And so we want to make sure in doing this right, we kind of took all that bracing of construction into consideration. So these were all unforeseen issues. They were all unforeseen issues, unfortunately. Is this the total cost, the additional cost for this extension? Sorry. Can you repeat is. This the total cost for this extension, just this additional money here or thousand, or are other costs are going to be related. To this? No, they under $1,000 is the only additional cost. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Councilman new Councilman Espinosa. I see you. Might as well since you're up here. Thank you. There's no time extension noted. There's no time extension on this one. No, no, sir. Okay. And then can I get a commitment from the airport to give us a presentation either of a draft or the final work product that you know is supposed to be delivered to spur the subsequent final contract so that we can. Sure. Absolutely. I'll reach out to your office tomorrow. Okay. But I if there's, you know, let's talk about it. I wonder if there's an element there that we should be talking about in committee as well, you know. And I'll work with our committee chair as well. Wonderful. Thank you. Thank you. All right. I know, Councilwoman Ortega. I just want to say that before the construction contract comes forward, which is going to be a big contract, it will absolutely come to committee so that we can get an update of what that's going to look like. So I don't know that the project is there yet in terms of all the details. But so I'm Sabrina, uncommitted. Councilman Herndon and I are both on the committee for the Great Hall and excuse me. So I just think it's important to know that this is still part of the pre-construction. But when they get ready to bring forward a contract on the construction, we'll see all those details. And Councilman Espinosa, do you have any? Yeah, no, I certainly appreciate that. And the airport has briefed me as well in the progress. And so I'm happy to hear some of Aaron's response to sort of about the sort of over commercialization that was maybe part of previous drafts. And so because that's one of my observed concerns is where we were and where we sort of ended up. And maybe as a step back, I would love for us to see it in its evolutionary stages so that we're not getting so we're getting something akin to what I think makes Colorado a special place and a and our airport a sort of modern landmark. And we're not just converting it into something that is totally commodified. Yeah. Well, Councilman, I think I think we're definitely going to have these presentations in the business committee will definitely have them to any presentations that the councilman needs. He can have those privately. And then you can continue to talk to the chairs for for more presentations as needed. Absolutely. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Aaron, for your good work. All right. Seeing no others, it's been moved and seconded. Madam Secretary, call. ORTEGA Hi. Sussman Right. Black. Hi, Clark. Hi, Espinosa. Hi, Flynn. Hi, Gilmore. Herndon, I. Cashman. I knew. Mr. President, I.
