Thank you so much, chair Ayala.
1:49:03
Really greatly appreciate your leadership of this committee.
1:49:07
And it's good to see Commissioner Park and team.
1:49:10
You know, I give you all a hard time at these hearings, but I do just wanna take a moment to say that I really appreciate your leadership in city service and your hard work.
1:49:22
And in these challenging times when we are so sorely lacking in leadership here in this building at City Hall, it's really important that we have steady competent government leaders in these roles.
1:49:33
And I'm grateful that you're sitting where you're sitting.
1:49:36
And I'll take a second to say that I'm grateful that Ann Williams Isom was sitting where she was sitting as the deputy mayor as she was a great partner when we needed her.
1:49:46
And she will be very sorely missed.
1:49:48
I wanna shift gears after saying nice things.
1:49:56
I I already texted her that she did a great job on a podcast last week, and so now but I I do wanna shift to some serious questions.
