Thank you your worship. I'll be happy to support this. . The The community Safety Action plan for downtown was a really significant initiative that the city undertook And I think it's important that any program a significant as that is monitored and evaluated, and I look forward to the report when it comes back. . And I'm expecting good things. And if that is the case, then we'll have future discussions about possibly augmenting the program or expanding it or whatever. But the first step is to evaluate. Make sure we're getting good money for our good value for our money.
