Speaker 0: Seem as far Chadwick in the audience. I believe she's the point person on this one. It's my recollection that when the Denver portion of the construction of the 16th Street Mall went before the RTD board, they required full payment up front. Is that what this is? Right. What they. Bartsch had worked with the Department of Finance manager of special projects. But the RTD board did two weeks ago. Tuesday was passed a resolution feeling that they should not RTD should not front any money to municipalities for work they are doing for the municipalities, and that the money should be sent to them upfront for the work that they would then perform, which is obviously very different than what we've been doing for ever, because this is a time sensitive project in terms of moving it forward with the federal grant money we have or that RTD has received. We negotiated with RTD staff, and this is a 15 day turnaround payment. They will supply us invoices and within 15 days we will have a concurrent review of those invoices with RTD staff and pay RTD the funds based on those undisputed invoices. So they have the money in hand to pay the contractor within their 30 days. So was this funding? We anticipated the full amount in this year's budget. This is actually downtown funds. So again, it's a reimbursement. So this proposal for these intersections has been approved through the borough board. This is the figure that ties it in to RTD to get the money to RTD. What you saw in council was the usual 30 day. They would send us invoices every 30 days and we would pay them. And due to the our TDs change in position, we've had to realign it to be able to pay in 15 . So what is this push to the back burner that we were going to use the funds? It doesn't. It doesn't. Everything is continuing on track. If this is approved second reading next week, RTD staff will take this out, said for bids on the street and hopefully we can get this project started prior to the November date when we have to start stop construction. So on the RTD project, it doesn't hold anything up on the dura side. No. What gets pushed on the back burner? Nothing. So the dirt project that art, the RTD project does the actual transit ways. And this money is for the intersection between the transit ways we're going to build. Rebuild. Great. Thank you. I have no further questions.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Councilwoman. Take it. Catwoman. Rap.
Speaker 5: Not so fast. I just am trying to. Because we did have a presentation at one time from Tracy Huggins. I believe in infrastructure or something. Is this the full cost of all five intersections?
Speaker 0: Correct. And we will not be building all five intersections. Based on the current construction costs that we're seeing across the city. We won't know how many intersections we will be building until the bids come back. Oh, okay. So we don't have to spend all of this. This allows us if another grant is received by our TD for the transit ways, it allows us money for future intersections. And again, it's a reimbursement. So it's not like money's spent and we'll never have it. It's put there. And then we go back to RTD and collect it.
Speaker 5: Okay. All right.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Councilwoman. Any other questions or comments on Council Bill two zero? All right, CNN. Madam Secretary, you want to tee up the last one? Accountability 091. Councilman Monteiro, you called this out pertaining to the National Western Center Master Plan. What would you like for us to do with this?
Speaker 0: Thank you, Mr. President. I would like to request a one hour courtesy public hearing for the National Western Center Master Plan on Monday, March 9th, 2015.
