Speaker 0: Thank you so much for sticking with it. Very exciting to see it here in front of us. Finally, Madam Secretary, will you please put the next item up on our screens? And Councilwoman Ortega, go ahead with your comment on this one.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mr. President. So this bill is for the making, the appropriations in the Winter Parks and Recreation Capital Fund. These are revenues that we receive from Winter Park. And most folks don't realize that Denver owns that asset. And over 20 years ago, we did an arrangement with a partner who was allowed to build out the base of Winter Park and run the operation. And they have been doing so ever since then. This was under Mayor Wellington Webb, and we reap the benefits of revenue that comes back to our city, that goes into capital improvement projects. And so I want to mention that I serve as a member of the Winter Park Trust Fund. The Board of trustees and some of the board members have been talking about wanting to make sure that we do a promotion, letting the general public know about this arrangement. I think if more people knew, number one, that Denver own this asset and that we've had this long standing relationship with the operators that provides revenue back to the city. But not only that, they also provide the opportunity for kids in the fifth grade in Denver to be able to go skiing. And this is a big deal because we have a lot of kids in our city who've never been to the mountains. And this is an opportunity for them to be able to enjoy this experience of learning how to ski. And so hopefully you'll be seeing some promotional. Information about this in the near future. We've got a meeting set up with the marketing folks from the city to talk about what that looks like. And so I just wanted to share that information with folks in our community who are not aware of this long standing relationship we have with Winter Park. Thank you.
