This meeting of the mayor and city council members begins now.

Good morning, everyone.

We are live.

Thank you.

Good morning, everybody.

I do not know how to use this new room.

So we are just getting we are just getting comfortable.

Welcome to Mayor Council.

Thank you all so much for joining us.

We will start with introductions in totally different seats and order, and we will get to start with the distinguished councilwoman uh to my right who gets to be the first introduction.

I'm just thinking sorry, Cashman.

Chantal Lewis, District 8.

Um Sarah Ferdi, one of your council members at large.

Flora Alvidres, Lucky District 7.

Diana Romero Campbell, Southeast Denver, District 4.

Daryl Watson, fine, District 9.

Uh Paul Cashman, uh sadly not that distinguished today.

South Denver District 6.

I wonder how you might be able to do it.

Uh great.

Thank you all so much for being here.

I know we have a shortened agenda this morning.

Um, but we're excited to jump in to any announcements that members may have for uh other council members or for the listening public.

For those of you that are listening from home, we are in a new location today because the par wide room where we often meet us under some renovations, and so this is our new spot for wealth.

Any announcements?

Um I'll do one.

I don't have an announcement, but I just wanted to call out that um on your guys' it on everyone's agenda.

Bill 1161.

They increase it's increasing money for the West Denver Renaissance Collaborative.

And they're doing accessory dwelling units in West Denver and Northwest Denver, and this is something that Council Council Torres and I have fought really hard for.

So just excited to see that money is going into this fund.

And the way it works is you get money from the city, and then you have to deed restrict your ADU to 80% AMI, and then it helps build build the eight accessory dwelling units.

So for someone who's redist rezoned 96% of her district, this program is key to hopefully the success of um getting accessory dwelling units.

Thank you so much, Council President.

Any other announcements folks have this morning?

Um I have one for Councilmember Gonzalez Coach, but she's texting it to me right now.

So anyone else has allowed phone and friend is allowed.

Otherwise, we'll just play some music.

I'm looking at her dots.

You have to sing now.

I'm waiting with bait of breath.

No other announcements, guys.

Anyone, anyone be alert?

She's also part of it.

Sure, I have an announcement.

Uh great, thanks.

For four mile historic park.

Uh the the home of the oldest home in Denver, or once uh stop on the Cherokee Trail, is for the second year in a row uh having their bright lights presentation, which for me uh totally stunned me last year.

I think it's the best lighting display Denver has had to offer.

I will run it up against zoo lights and the botanic gardens.

It's there for about another month.

It's uh uh basically it's considered a lantern festival, though I did not notice any actual lanterns, but it's pretty spectacular.

So take the whole family out there to Four Mile Historic Park in the lovely lovely district six.

Formerly the lovelier district five, and uh have a good time.

Uh did I use up enough time for you, Councilman?

Thank you.
