And then at the the last meeting, I mentioned that I would share with you all the the street sweeping dashboard that we we created in GIS. And if you look up at the screen, this is kind of what the the dashboard looks like. So here on the the left side of it is a uh map of the city, and these zones are the same zones as garbage pickup. So we the city's broken out into street sweeping, and kind of the the streets that are in green here are what's been done. So all these streets you see green have been completed, and this is since November 17th, so since last week Monday. We started this dashboard on October 27th, which is three weeks ago. So in two weeks with two street sweepers, we went through the entire city, and then when we completed the entire city, that layer got uh kind of hidden, so we can now kind of see the the second round of what we're sweeping, and then over to the right, you'll see that the total miles swept since October 27th is 361.2 miles, and then uh sweeping events is 25. So that the street sweeper went out on a 25 different occasions. Uh since October 27th, we've accumulated 900 or 795 cubic yards of debris, and then have used 12,200 gallon gallons of water.
