This proposal, when it was delivered to us, certainly was not perfect.
1:11:20
It was not perfect months ago.
1:11:22
It is definitely not perfect today, but the modifications put forth by the efforts of this council and members of this city who sat in these chambers for almost 15 hours under the leadership of chair Kevin Riley to give their thoughts, their opinions, their tears, their blood, their sweat, their thoughts, and their opinions to this body to compile the modifications and help us to deliver the product that we are delivering today.

This is not the proposal that was delivered to us as some of my colleagues have presented and think that this is the proposal that was presented to us.
