It's an ordinance that is submitted to us and proposed to us by the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission. I we discussed this during committee hearing this morning. It is essentially an official authorization for the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission to enter into an hourly based contract with the City of Kirkland on an as needed basis to provide the City of Kirkland with ethics, advice and investigations on ethics complaints. This is a renewal of the contract that was originally instituted in 2011. The legislation as drafted would not require the Senate Ethics and Elections Commission to come back to the Council for approval in the future. And the Education, Equity and Governance Committee recommends that the bill pass. Are there any comments? He's called the role on the passage of the bill. O'Brien so want extra. Burgess Gonzalez I.
