Staff request the City Council receive a supporting documentation into the record. Approve the resolution, continue the assessment, and authorize the city manager to extend the agreement for one additional year. That concludes my staff report. Thank you for the staff report. Is there any public comment on this renewal? Harry Nunn. I motioned into support of this. Obviously, the Bixby North Business Improvement District is located both in the eighth and seventh districts, and they do a great job of promoting economic development in the uptown community of Bixby Knolls. And there's a lot of excitement going on. I will say that that, you know, I just want to want to put put everyone on alert that, you know, much of the funding for the Bixby A is done through redevelopment, former redevelopment funding, and that that funding is going to be expiring. And so I talked to the city manager. I'm talking to economic development. We're looking for strategies to make sure that, you know, those lost revenues are not lost revenues. And we were creative with continuing the the the the Renaissance and the success of the Bixby Knolls community. And so I ask for your support for this item, but also ask for your continued work staff to ensure the success of the business district. Councilmember Urunga. Thank you. What do I call you? Substitute me, says the future. Thank you, Councilmember Austin. Yeah, I totally agree with your assessment that was going on. And although I might have a small portion of the Bixby area still, it's it's growing, it's thriving, it's becoming very dynamic and certainly support this. But also aware that moneys are running out. And we do have to look at creative ways to ensure that it stays at that same level as we move forward. Thank you. Though hearing no further comment, please cast your votes on the recommendation. Motion carries eight to.
