Madam Clerk. We are going to ask for public comment to be closed in two minutes, and that will be um eight minutes to two. So we'll be closing public comment in two minutes. Is there anyone here in the auditorium or in the room for public comment in person? See no one present. Do we have any callers? And here is our chair. Do we have any callers for public comment? I'm sure our first caller is William M. Davis. Mr. Davis, you have two minutes. And if the excuse me, if the clerk could um note that member um Colmine Young is here. Clerk was on note. Okay. Thank you, ma'am. Chair. Welcome, sir. Ms. Davis, floor is yours. Two minutes. Okay, can I be heard? Yes, sir. Okay, I'd like to encourage everyone in the city of Detroit. We need to make sure our voted turnout numbers go up. I our numbers look horrible. When I was a young voter, when Colin Young Senior was the mayor, you know, there was a greater effort to get more people to vote. There was even a greater effort to make sure more city Detroit workers voted. You know, we have done horrible things the last 12 years. We need to be doing more to make encouraging more people to vote, encouraging more people to spend money in the city of Detroit. We need to be doing more building up the city. We need to make sure our dollars are turning over. And we need to do a whole lot more than what we're doing. Have a good day. Thank you, sir. Who we have next to the queue, Mr. Bo. Mr. Chair, the next one. Cunningham. Floor is yours. Two minutes, sir. Please excuse the background noise.
