“Thank you, sir. Not a whole lot from me as well this week, but I am looking forward to Thursday's meeting at Troen's. And then also some big news coming from our ward next week is going to be the Anything Nature Library opening up, so really looking forward to that. I know that my daughter is going to be dying to get in there and see everything as well, so the kids are going to be really excited, and I think just as much as some of the adults. but we got a chance to look at it when they were doing the construction, and it's an incredible facility, and I can't wait to see what it looks like…”

“I would like to say that I'm excited to see that a lot of the money is going towards first-time homebuyers. I think this is a great credit that's going to help some of our citizens out through the communities and be able to get into the homes for the first time. Growing up, I know how important this is to families, as my family had to do a similar program when I was younger. So I'm excited to see that cities will be able to help families out do this.”

“I like the similar one before. The one thing I would wish that we could have for the 2025 and 2026 would be the first-time homebuyer credit. But I do like the fact that we're going to be helping out with our senior living assistance. And I think that's going to be a great benefit. So I will be definitely voting for this.”

“Thanks, Chief. I was going to hold mine to the end, but you opened the door, so I'm going to go ahead and throw mine out for you. I have a couple. One is, with 120th and Colorado being one of our more dangerous intersections, the crash data that we have, do we have any kind of information regarding if that's people rear-ending each other when they're just not paying attention, or if it's running the red lights? people making right turns without stopping and thus getting a ticket and crash?”

“And then as far as the automated speeding, I realize that a lot of people are upset by the fact that the random car on the side of the road is catching them. But at the same time, I know that in my neighborhood and in my areas, we have seen a dramatic decrease in speed. So I really appreciate the program.”

“Not so much a question, just a comment. On slide two, the fire calls being consistently 60 to 100 there that one last quarter and seeing zero civilian deaths, that's amazing news. And I want to say thank you to all you guys for all the hard work you did. That's great to see that even with that kind of number of issues that nobody's losing life over it.”
