This was actually brought to my attention by one of the residents in the community. And so I think to honor the park name change that we did a few months ago, we wanted that to be consistent. So that will happen and we can allow this bill to move forward. Thank you very much, Councilwoman Ortega. Madam Secretary, will you please put the next item on our screens? And Councilman Brooks, will you please for councilor as resolution 1437 on the floor for adoption? Yes, Mr. President. A move, the Council Resolution 1437 series of 2018 be adopted. It has been moved and seconded questions or comments from members of Council. Councilman Flynn. Thank you, Mr. President. This is a contract amendment to our conduit, conduit, local, state and Local Solutions Inc. contract for the operation of our four speed photo speed vans and the photo red light program. And it was an expansion of the of the photo red light program as well. And I held this over on December 17th because I had some questions. And once I got the data, I and looked at the contract. There's actually had some errors in the contract. It listed the wrong intersections where we were going to put in the cameras. So that alone would would call for us to kill it and ask for a new or a new amendment to be brought forward. But in the meantime, both traffic engineering and Denver police came down to visit me at the office today, and they looked at the the information that I presented on Monday to to the members here in an email. And and they agreed to evaluate the yellow change interval, the timing of the yellow light, and to see if that would eliminate red light running better than a than I can't a ticket camera can do. I pointed out, for instance, that in the city of Loma Linda, California, a camera had been giving out an average of 249 tickets per month until the traffic engineers adjusted the yellow timing and it ended up issuing one ticket every six days . And that's the kind of results in the kind of safety we want here. And so they've agreed to to ask us to kill the contract tonight. So we're asking for a no vote on those. Based on those two factors, they're going to reevaluate the yellow change interval and other countermeasures and the fact that the contract amendment has the wrong intersections in it. And so they'll come back to us after this evaluation of all the other locations in up to maybe nine months and present us with with a different proposal. I do not oppose the expansion of the photo radar, a speeding van, and this contract would have added an additional van to that program. And so I've asked the administration to consider coming back to a sooner with a contract amendment that would add that van regardless, because these have been budgeted this has been budgeted for 2019 anyway, and I would support that. But I'm very grateful and thankful to DPD and traffic engineering for undertaking this because as I said before, the laws of traffic will always be trumped by the laws of physics. So if we give folks the requisite amount of time to come safely to a stop at a red light, I want to do that rather than just photograph an accident. So we asked for a no vote on this. Thank you.
