Thank you for your comments. Mr. Steiner, were you wanting to speak? Just a couple of things.

Give your pictures to Councilman Clark, and he'll pass them down as we look at them. Thank you.

I'll give you about 15 seconds to wrap up your comments.

OK, thank you for your comments. And just as we can't engage in conversation, the whole point of the citizens forum is for citizens to come and to speak about things that aren't on the agenda. And so since it wasn't an agenda item, the council, that's why we can't necessarily engage with you from here. But afterwards, if you want to stick around and you have questions, We'll be happy to try to answer those and get you the documentation that you want as best as we can. The next person is Clinton Bureau.

Thank you. Thank you. And our last person signed up is Benjamin Slotnick.
