Ten Eyes Council Resolution 669 has been adopted. You put the next item on our screens. And, Councilman Brooks, you have a comment on 0830. Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. This is a three zeros regarding the Glover Rec Center and District nine. And the community has been noticing over the last couple of years has been underutilized. And so there was a request to the to Denver Parks and Rec, my office, let's do something for the community. And so we begin to have some community meetings and had a request for proposals to have a community group use the Globeville Rec Center. And I'm just excited because this is a this is a good news story of us giving this property back to the community. The the Birdseed Collective, which is in the house right now, Karla and Anthony's in the house. Put your hands in the air. You know, I'm saying I know you all have worked really hard and put together an unbelievable proposal, and it's just it's it's it's just exciting to see the community win this and the community own this center. And I want to thank Denver Parks and Rec, too, for just a great process. I was a part of the committee and I felt like it was very fair. I felt like it was understanding of the committee. And what was so incredible is the the Bersih Collective, even though they are part of the proposal, they went out and recruited the entire community to come to the community meetings. I got to tell you, I've been to a lot of community meetings and global leaders want to see a none were as full as that. And so this is a big deal. And thank you guys for your hard work. Thank you, Councilman Brooks, Councilor Mechanic. Q Mr. President, I also wanted to congratulate the Birdseed Collaborative on this. If folks haven't seen the beautiful mural at the 38th and no, I'm sorry, Colorado 40th and Colorado Light Rail Station, it's a great example of where they had youth get involved in painting the mural. And so just a wonderful visual example of kind of the way that you have involved folks and created beauty for the community at the same time. So congratulations and good luck. Thanks.
