Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I'll do a quick recap. And a resolution to Councilwoman Black has called out Resolution 388 for comment. Under bills for introduction, no items have been called out. Under bills for final consideration. No items have been called out and under pending. No items have been called out. Madam Secretary, will you please put the first item on our screens and Councilman BLOCK, go ahead with your comment.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Mr. President. This is a great night for a neighborhood in southeast Denver. It's a neighborhood that for 60 years has wanted a park there bordered by I-25 and Colorado Boulevard, which is a state highway and two other busy streets, Evans and Yale. And there are some neighbors who have lived there since the fifties and tell stories about how they have asked for a park for all these years. And I'm so happy to announce that because of Councilman Clark getting to a on the ballot that is providing some funding and because of our city's commitment to it, that every neighborhood should be within a ten minute walk to the park. We are fortunate to be buying a piece of property in this neighborhood. We'll finally have the park that they have needed for a very long time, and the need for it has actually grown greater and greater because of their proximity to two light rail stations. Their population will probably be tripling in the next decade and so this park is needed more than ever. So I in addition to thanking Councilman Clark, I want to thank the community. They helped put this notebook together that we have been handed to the mayor and a happy Haines. And I also want to thank Gordon Robertson with Parks and Rec and Jeff Steinberg with the Department of Real Estate, because I called him about 500 times over the past three and a half years, telling him every piece of property that was for sale, including just little lots where there were houses. And I was like, Can we just have a pocket park? Can we have something? But we are getting an almost two acre park and it's very, very exciting. So thank you, everyone, for your support.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Councilwoman Black. And congratulations. That's very exciting. And thank you to Denver voters for passing to pay for our parks. That concludes the items to be called out. All bills for introduction are ordered published. We are now ready for the block vote on resolutions and bills on final consideration.
