Okay.

Thank you.

What I should have just laid out just for some expectations of how this meeting is going to go, and then I'll ask for a motion to adopt R 1026.

We have four or five pieces of legislation all related to the budget today.

We're going to take them in order of how fast we think they're going to go.

The fastest to the slowest.

So we're going to end with the uh operating and capital budgets, taking the resolutions first.

We're starting at ten a.m.

and we're going until this ends.

So not knowing how long that goes.

Five or ten minutes on the hours, so like at uh ten minutes of the hour or five minutes before the hour, taking a quick five, ten minutes break, just so we have all have a chance to be healthy, move our legs, and uh uh tend to uh bio needs if necessary.

Then we'll take a uh one o'clock lunch for half an hour, and then we'll resume with that pattern, and hopefully we won't need to think about taking a dinner break just yet.

Um the we're taking everything up on second reader today, which means we're going to be considering amendments.

We're going to introduce the legislation, adopt it for second reader, and then go through a list of amendments that have been proposed for each piece of legislation.

When we get to the end of the amendments, we're going to postpone to June 8th, which is next Monday's meeting for final adoption.

That week gives our finance team and legal team, clerk's office just a chance to button up everything so that when we pass it, there's clarity for ourselves and the public.

And uh, if we messed anything up, frankly, um, since we're all human, it's prone to happen.
