Okay. And if they sell within a certain period of time then they have to pay it back. Right. Okay. Okay. Thank you. I have no further questions. Thank you, Councilman Ortega. All right. That brings us to 727. Madam Secretary, if you put that on our screens, Councilman Ortega, go ahead with your question. Just a question on this. And I'm not sure if there is anyone here from the public works that can answer a question, if not maybe somebody from the mayor's office. Okay. So this is approving a rescission of $900,000 from Denver Public Health and Environment to the Department of Public Works, and it's to their Fleet Special Revenue Fund . So my question is, as we in this city have moved to address our carbon footprint. Can you tell me if any of these are proposed to be electric vehicles? And if so, what would that percentage be? So Councilman Ortega, Guy Stewart. Mayor's office, these are. Compost vehicles. So they're large, heavy duty vehicles. I don't believe there is an option for electric vehicle purchase for that type of. Equipment, but. We can certainly double check that and get back to you. I'm seeing Charlotte pick back, you're saying shaking your head? No, but. Obviously you're. Here. Not an option. But Charlotte, did you want to come up? Charlotte Pit Solid Waste Management. They're currently testing technology for electric garbage trucks, but it's not completely, 100% viable yet. We are hoping to demo some, but I don't think they're going to be in place by the time we make this purchase. How many does this get us? This gets us 13 trucks. Okay. All right. I have no further questions. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Councilman Ortega. That concludes, Councilman Hines. Sorry. You have a question? Yes. How many trucks are in the total fleet? So we just got 13 trucks. And I'll wait until you go away so I can ask the next question. We have about 120 total trucks in our fleet. That's between trash, recycling and compost. So about 10%. Yes. Thank you. This would actually double our capacity for composting. So it really gives us the opportunity to grow that program. Great. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Councilman Hines has been the night for late breaking entries. I'm going to take a breath, make sure everybody is done. All right. That concludes the items to be called out this evening.
