Um, my name is Jeff Darland. I live here in Tiger. Um, first of all, thank you very much for opening the study session to us. I think that was very useful. Um I'd like to say I I have two minutes, I didn't write this down because I want to kind of we're we as a city are going through, I think in May is the plan to have public announcement engagement in the SDC um strategy with River Terrace 2.0. And what I in kind of preparation and understanding kind of where we're going, I started to go back and look at our previous SDC discussion, which was in like 2015 is when the city first came out with this plan of here's what we need to build to manage the growth, and here's how much it's gonna cost. And you've heard me talk about SDC policy discounts, but when I look through this this strategy in 2015 and and what we've done against it today, I'm seeing huge gaps in what the plan was that was used to even determine these SDC charges with what's actually been delivered between then and now and what hasn't been delivered, but still might be on a long-term metro agenda, which might come back into focus at some point in the future. And so I'm wondering as we prepare for this spring meeting and engaging the public deeper, if it doesn't make sense to really do the transportation SDC revisitation prior to the establishment of those discounts, because then we'll actually know what it is we have to build. Right now, you guys are potentially talking about policy discounts and putting them in place, but we don't actually have the build list to know what we're discounting against.
