Six, 13 and 614. Are there any other bills call out. Do you get those through, Madam Secretary? Yes. All right. We will tee up the first one, which is Council Bill 613. Councilwoman Sheppard, what would you like to do with this question? I don't know if anyone can answer this, but so I, I and forgive me if I don't understand the differences between a a local maintenance district and a business improvement district. But I thought that the Business Improvement District was more about promoting the business side of things and maybe some programmatic activities around that. And that local maintenance districts actually took care of maintenance of any Lake Street facilities, for example, that a district might create. So is this to say that the Business Improvement District will now assume those responsibilities or that things are no longer going to be maintained? I'm just not clear what that means. You know. Let's help them out. Good evening. My name's Andrew Johnson with the Department of Finance and Special Districts. Those are great questions that in essence, it's the concept really is, is that the local maintenance districts were put into place several years ago and they are to do just the maintenance of the street improvements. However, the community has come together in another way to want to make something better of the area. And so the businesses are getting together to create a business improvement district that is a little bit larger than both that. But there's two local maintenance districts there currently Santa Fe, A and B, and those responsibilities or those maintenance districts will be assumed by the Petitioning Business Improvement District to be created. So the bid will take over the maintenance. That is that. I guess I just didn't quite understand that they could also do that because it's typically there's a a business improvement district and there's often maintenance districts underneath that. There can be. And in this case, we are letting the. The business improvement district does one to assume the responsibility for the maintenance district. Thanks for that clarification. Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Captain. Was that the same question for both of you? Okay, wonderful. Any other builds called out by members of council? Well, then, seeing that we're moving on to the block bills, all of the bills for introduction are ordered published.
