Proper vetting of potential appointees to the mobile housing board. Olivier Charles, thank the MPD for the leadership during the recent on campus threat at Bishop State. Mr. President. And if so, who does it? Because you know, some neighborhoods have it, some don't. And people have asked me in the past, you know, can we do this? So I think we need to provide some information on these things, whether or not it's something that we ought to try to encourage or not do at all. You know, I think um I think you are required to have your address conspicuously displayed on the house. On the house of the curb. Um I I can tell you as a first responder, anything you can do to help identify that address because some of them have none. And um, but anything that would speed up the response time from fire department or police and make sure we're going to the right address. So it's it's legal to do, but I think what people are asking for, you know, does the city do this? No, we don't, but can you do it? Like I think Boy Scouts or somebody used to go around years ago and they would just paint the city. I don't think the city has ever stopped somebody from painting the curb with the I mean to me it's a public safety issue. So all right. Ms. Brother, hold on. Yeah, um, I mean, well, you don't want it to look like a mess. You need to have a stencil or something to make it look right. I mean, that's what you generally see. Somebody will go through the neighborhood and actually do it and make it look, you know, at least legible and nice and kind of consistent throughout. Okay. Mr. Penn, uh, thank you, Ms.
