I actually just had a quick question, and I'm I had a question about that, an item on consent. Okay, please ask your question. So this is regarding item 4A, and I apologize for not sending the question in advance. Usually on consent items I do, but um I didn't the when I read the um the documents, they were from a 2019 grant. I just had a question about why we're and why we're accepting them now, if it's because the all the attachments were from the previous sheriff from 2019. I'm just wondering why, okay. So we will start with our chief. Oh, good evening.
