Thank you. Okay. So I'll go ahead and start with council comments. A couple of things I want to talk about. One was um for some reason lately I've had a few handful of people ask me like what my how much time or month monthly role is and stuff of that kind of stuff. And I can tell you that the seven of us um put an awful lot of time in. You know, we have uh a lot of different uh boards and commissions to be on. Um and uh you know, and we all have full-time jobs, and so it's that's kind of hard to do sometimes, and and we're kind of pulled and pushed in different directions. Um just for like the month of January, you know, I had uh uh Douglas County board retreat. I had um three schools I went to, a couple wit w uh ribbon cuttings, um uh mayor summit for two days, EDC board, um, um the Douglas County of Governments meeting, CML summit, CML board, um and not not that uh it's a poor me type thing, it's just there's an awful lot of work going on um that that isn't seen behind the scenes from the from the seven of us. Um you know and uh you know right around a hundred emails a day. So it's just uh it's a lot. And um and we're trying our best to get back to everybody. I had somebody I didn't get back to for a couple days and finally got back to them and and uh so I do appreciate the patience and and uh believe me we are doing as much work as we can and we and whenever we can. So I wanted to just mention that. Also, um I wanted to propose a motion to uh have the star lit from July 4th, um, of course, with the 150-250 celebration um to Colorado Day, which is August 1st. Um I've already walked us through the the fire chief, um, you know, the firefighters and fire personnel that volunteer to put the star up. It's a lot of work. Um and so I don't take this lightly.
