All right. I will do a quick recap. Under resolutions, we have nothing under bills for introduction. Councilman Flynn has called out Council Bill 148 simply for comment. And under bills for final consideration, we have nothing. And under pending, we have nothing. Madam Secretary, can you please put up council bill 148. Thank you. Councilman Flynn, your comment. Thank, Mr. President. And is Julie here? Okay, thank you. She might be able to address the comment as well, but what we're doing here is, among other things, we're changing the dates by which one would apply if eligible seniors and disabled property owners and renters for a rebate on portion of the property tax or their rents if they are renters. And we're changing that deadline from April 1st of the year, actually the second year after that tax year. So we're still accepting applicant applications for rebate refunds on the tax year 2015. We're changing that to December 31st, which implies that the deadline for 2015 applications would already have passed. And the only reason I'm calling it out for a comment, Mr. President, is to point out that the website at Human Services already says December 31st, and if there are seniors and disabled who are qualified for this refund, they need to know that the deadline still is April 1st. This year, you have another two and a half weeks to get an application in. So if you went to the website and saw that, you might be discouraged and not apply. So Julie, I don't know if you want to add to that. I hope that everything I said was correct. But before we pass this, I want to the people on Channel eight at least to know that. Julie Prine, Deputy Chief of Staff, Denver Human Services. Yes, everything you said is correct. If applications come in for the 2015. Property tax or rental payments through that year, we will accept those applications through April. 1st, through April 1st. Thank you. And going forward, those folks who have already applied get applications every year just because they've applied in previous years. Is that still correct? And they will also get an instruction. Sheet. That tells them how. Much the benefit is, how much the eligibility requirements are, and the dates for the applications. All right. Thank you, Mr.. I just wanted to point out that people can still apply. Thank you, Councilman Flynn. Thank you, Julie. All right. This concludes our items of bills that need to be called out. All bills for all of the bills for introduction are now order published. We are now ready for the block votes on resolutions and bills for final consideration. Council members remember that this is a consent or block vote and you will need to vote. Otherwise, this is your last time to call out an item for a separate vote. Councilman Cashman, will you please put the resolutions for adoption and the bills for final consideration for final passage on the floor? Thank you, Mr. President. I move that resolutions be adopted and bills on final consideration be placed upon final consideration and do pass and a block for the following items. All series of 2017 to 30 to 84 to 20 6 to 60 4 to 60 5 to 60 8 to 60 9 to 71. 152 to 60 6 to 60 7 to 70 2 to 60 122 to 31 1337. That series of 2016 and back to series 2017 to 24.
