Speaker 8: 12 eyes one abstention. Council Resolution 710 has been adopted. Madam Secretary, please put the next item on our screens. And Councilman Cashman, go ahead with your comment on Council Bill 680.
Speaker 11: Thank you, Mr. President. I've been asked by the Denver Police Museum to read a letter into the record, if I might. Dear Councilman, As police oriented organizations, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you and members of Denver City Council for your consideration of 18 0680. This proposed ordinance will allow city employees who lose their lives in the service of the city and fallen officer families to continue to receive health benefits for one year after the loss of their loved one. This ordinance is critical as it will allow grieving families the necessary time in order to deal with the many changes that will come to their lives without the additional worry of immediate loss of the necessary health coverage. Again, we greatly appreciate you bringing this forward and ask for all the council members support for this ordinance. Sincerely. The Denver Police Protective Association. The Denver Police Officers Foundation. The Denver Police Foundation. The Orphans Fund and the Denver Police Museum. Thank you, Mr. President.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Councilman Cashman. All right. Moving on. Madam Secretary, will you please put the next item on our screens? And Councilman Herndon, will you put Council Bill 580 on the floor?
