Thank you, Madam President. I wanted to make sure that I went on record voting on this one. I don't feel like we're in the right time to be raising taxes. I know we're in a deficit. We've lost a lot of revenues. And it's not really appropriate, in my opinion, to force the taxpayers to feel that burden when people can't even pay their rent or mortgages right now. We were having complaints prior to COVID regarding property tax and property tax relief for both residential and commercial. And this, I believe, is going to exacerbate the problem. And just because we can do it doesn't mean that we should, especially right now. So I'm a no on this tonight and just wanted to make sure that got recorded. Thank you, Councilwoman CdeBaca. Madam Secretary, roll call. CdeBaca No, Clark. I. Flynn. I. Herndon. I. Hynes. Hi. Cashman. Hi. Carnage. I. Ortega. I. Sandoval. I. Sawyer. I. Torres. I. Black. I. Madam President. I. Madam Secretary, close the voting and announce the results. One need to have eyes. 12 eyes. Resolution 1436 has been adopted. The next item up is Council Bill 1553. Councilman Hines, will you please put 1553 on the floor for publication?
