minutes. Party's over Good evening and welcome to first public works committee meeting at 2026. Will begin with introductions of counselors to my left. Thank you. MADAM Chair, Mike do district 24, thank you. MADAM Chair, Chair Koegel District 3. Thank you. MADAM Chair, Brian Mowery District. 25, thank you. MADAM Chair, Nic Robertson, strict for. Thank CHAIRWOMAN Jones in the and just 14. Thank you. MADAM Chair, Just 3. Thank you. MADAM Chair Councilor Jared Evans representing District 17. Thank you. And I'm Kristin Jones representing District 18. First up, we will have proposal number 32 with a points. Anthony, us to the fatal crash review Team Anthony, if you'd like to step forward and tell us a little bit about yourself. Welcome.
Thank you so much. All right. This a few words and Senate it yourself and tell us a little bit. Ly youth. That great the right behind on the right? All right. That's it. Got to hold it. Perfect. Thank you. First time with us, Mike. My name is Tony. Sure role is like your share and I am the executive director of Central Indiana. Cycling. I have been in that role since APRIL of last year when bike Indianapolis and the central Indiana bicycling Association ceiba as most folks MAY know it merged in early 2025. So they merged hired an executive director to complement their existing have time staff and small army of
volunteers. My background before is as a mechanical engineer, actually narrow space, not a Rolls Royce for Pratt and Whitney had did most of that engineering and Connecticut. My sister is a also mechanical engineer at Rolls-Royce. But now that I don't Pratt, Whitney, we can talk about work. Thanks. So I left engineering in 2015 and got into nonprofit work around active transportation bicycles, including a community organization that was ran a community bike shop and transit and actor Transportation Road Safety Organization in Connecticut. Before I moved here to Indy and 2022. I do have family in the area and grew up in the Midwest live a mile from my
sister in broad ripple. Thank you. Thank you so much. Any comments or questions from counselors? Cancer kale? Thank you, MR. Said thank you for your service on this important task force and the and thank you for seen plenty of places doing advocacy work and always appreciate your making the rounds throughout the whole city. So thank you. Thank you. Any other comments, questions? Anyone in the public who wishes to speak on proposal number, 32. Thank you, MADAM Chair. I move that we send proposal. 32 push points to the fatal crash review team to the full council. If they do pass recommendation, it's been moved. And second in propose a number. 32 to full council what they do pass recommendation. All those in favor say Aye. Aye.
Opposed say nay. The ayes have it. Congratulations. Thank you much. I'll have the next motion at Full Council. Thank you very much. Next up is proposal number. 33, points Craig Pincus to the fatal crash review team. He's come forward. MISTER Pincus. Thank you for being here. Thank you. So We have a scene. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Thanks very much. As of you. Here know me. So I'll be careful. The a native of Indianapolis. I practice law for 55 years. I retired from bows McKinney. I mostly did intellectual property litigation and entertainment law. But I did other things
too. I started running in 1978 on trails Eagle Creek. I'm running today. I'll be 83 in a couple of weeks and I'm mindful when I volunteered to serve on something circumstances could rise that say no, I'm not available. Still going and for more than 30 years, I ran from the office downtown. I saw Zach Glickman earlier. He used to see me going back and forth on high street. I think I put in about 60,000 miles and my running career. And the reason I'm interested in this committee. And the reason I'm doing some of the other things I'm doing. Is because I wanted some in some way and some small way to encourage others to get out and move. And that's my big motivation for
lying to participate here. The the purpose of this committee aligns very much with what I'm trying to do because it's trying to make trees safer for pedestrians, cyclists and I want to support that in we. We are not the most active community and our great. Inhibitor against getting out walking in your neighborhood or getting on whatever beautiful greenways could be that you just don't feel very safe. So this is of great interest to me. And I'm happy to answer any other. Any other questions. Thank you very much. Anyone. Any counselors who wishes to speak on this proposal. Thank you. MADAM Craig, there you hide in great thing. If you 5 years that's outstanding. I encountering you in the I p field. I would. Council Barth would allow me, I'd like to be a co-sponsor of this. Fine
proposal. Anyone in the audience who wishes to speak on proposal number. 33. Okay. Nelson. Thank you. MADAM Chair. I move recent proposal number, 33, 2026, which appoints Craig Pink as to the fate of pressure. You team to the full council to do pass recommendation, he's been moved and second into some proposal number, 33 to Polk County to do pass recommendation. All those in favor say Aye. Aye opposed, say nay. The ayes have it. Congratulations, MR. Pincus, thank you. Thank you. And we welcome you. And Anthony, back to our committee. Any time to give an update on on your. Joining on the board. Thank you very much. Thank you. Have a wonderful evening. Next up on our agenda is propose a number 14, which approves and authorizes the execution of an amendment to an existing franchise
agreement with the franchise holder for the operation, maintenance and improvement of the city's metered parking system. Welcome Anthony in Sam. Low Council. Thanks for having us. I'm Anthony sort really I am a senior program manager over dpw revenue systems. The main idea behind this amendment to the 50 year parking contract with Park in d is to simply extend in perpetuity and already existing amendment. The existing amendment was number 5. It was a two-year pilot program from 2023 to 2025. Whereby we began a revenue sharing plan with part Indy. We already do meter. Unfortunate them for expired meters. This program was to encompass all other non meter
citations. That includes a swath of other things. But mainly ideas around obstructing fire lanes, obstructing crosswalks, obstructing bike lanes. Obstructing ada, parking spaces and the kind of a parking violation where and expired meters, not particularly involved. It's kind of catch-all other term with the. Subcategories in there. We're in this two-year study to see. It would be We began to share revenue with park in the wood enforcement of these violations. Go up. The data shows that it did and 2023 you in this big and we only had about 1000 citations a year across non meter
categories in 2020 for the first year of a revenue sharing Stream of Park in d that nearly tripled to 2700 tickets issued. And then in the last year in 2025, the final year of the revenue share, it actually went up to 5,000. So we are seeing much higher rate of enforcement. Potential nuisances for various methods of transit for pedestrians, cyclists, that cetera and first responders as well. With the improvement to the quantity of tickets issued in the enforcement of these. We are looking to extend that revenue sharing plan for non meter enforcement in perpetuity with the rest of the 50 year contract. This amendment also has language
that allows the city to unilaterally exit the amendment if needed. But I don't foresee a need for that. But in all regards, the city's protected. What I see in person with the data is that it does make sense to pursue the revenue share with parking the in this regard. Thank you. Any questions or comments for colleagues council Nelson? Thank you, CHAIRMAN. Can you talk a little bit about so well, just for like our education, public educational. What before? He's a great before the agreement was enter to like how how? What was this was the reality pre. This agreement. The park in the enforcement could still write citations for this. However, they were not entitled to any share of the revenue. Okay. So we
thought the way to him prove their enforcement rate on this would be to bring them into how we have the current meter. Plan structured where they're more incentivized to pursue these because they company does receive a revenue from it. Okay. And what? What? What for they received? 100% of the could you talk a little about like what? What the revenue share is there. looks like that's what it reads here. But I curious what the share is sure. I'm not sure on. There you go. Better. So there's different tiers of the revenue share. And so this is working exactly like the program for meter tickets. So in general enough's revenues being collected, that we're in the
second revenue tear each month. So. Basically parking is getting 40% of the revenue issue from these tickets. But I guess I just want to emphasize that this is not a revenue related proposal. Well, there is a small revenue component is almost entirely related to wanting to have increased enforcement in these these areas. Final question. So. On the so is part in the just able to write site. Write citations. Are they able to enforce telling? process called scuff lot where if an individual does have 4 outstanding unpaid tickets, they are eligible to be towed. But up until that point, it's just issuance of citations non moving violations will have to be
partly related and parking able to initiate that toe if they have that number of citations on that license plate you know, I think they're not going issue to tell if it if there isn't that record for Pete's citations people. Thank you. Thank you, chair thank you. Council Evans. Thank you, CHAIRMAN, where are you seeing greatest cluster of these tickets being done? This is something that's more in the downtown core or are we all so pursuing this and townships? I can get back to you with specific location data. I only have category by total amounts right now from park in d Okay. Thank you. But real quick. So parking need is concentrated in the areas where there's meters because that's the business they're in. So these are these are overwhelmingly going to be issued downtown and broad
ripple. You know, they have the ability to enforce out there, but there's not really a. You know, economic reason for them to just send, you know, their enforcement officers around the city. If there reason for them to be there. So it's mostly downtown in broad ripple. Council. Thank you. Thank you, MADAM I that this this was to me, to be honest because we have. Been calling in my district where we have problems. Impd an. This is the lowest possible priorities. Often times they they don't come out or when they do, they talk to the person and trying to get them to move rather issuing citations. So I have a specific area where it's just a nonstop problem. So is is there are ways for us to get sort of like a liaison contact was parking the to have a discussion to say We would love to see some enforcement. It's routine probably be
worth. I mean, literally, right. Might the tax like out walking in here was from a resident sending picture of 4 cars parked on no parking zone Street walking school bus from getting So. Councilor I can't guarantee that the park and you would be the right. For stepping up enforcement for the specific area you're talking about. But we're happy to have a conversation with you. A detail about this after the fact. Can serve it. Thank you. MADAM On a similar note. Who's responsible for? Say the neighborhoods, my district, I don't have any parking meters, but I do get parking complaints, particularly in neighborhoods when people put 6 cars in the driveway and block the sidewalk stick their b# # # out in the street. Who's responsible for enforcing? Because as I understand it,
that's not legal. Cannot block a public sidewalk, even if you're in the neighborhood who's responsible for enforcing Impd is And as we heard earlier, that's very far down on their priority list after them. Any other questions counselors, anyone in the public who wishes to speak on proposal. Number 14. The Thank you, MADAM Chair. I would move that we send proposal 14 to the full council with a do pass recommendation. It's been moved and second into proposal, number 14 to the full council. What they do pass recommendation. All those in favor say Aye. Aye opposed, say nay. The ayes have it. Thank you. Very Next up on the agenda is proposal. Number 15, which authorizes the city acting through Marion County Storm Water Management District, a special special taxing district existing
pursuant to ic 3, 6 dash, 3 dash, 5 dash 8 to issue up to 50 million of revenue bonds and if necessary and term financing notes to finance the planning design construction and inspection of channels, culverts levees and dams, stewardship studies and water quality projects and approves and authorizes other action and respite and respect there, too. All It to you. Thank you. As downs and members of the committee, my name is Joe Glass and the executive director and general counsel of the Apple Spawn bank. A proposal for you this evening for a proposal. 15 authorizes the issuance of up to 15 million dollars in bonds or notes by storm. Water management district. This the debt would be secured fees. The storm water district with trying fees that we pay with our property taxes. We are planning on issuing short-term
facility of the term of 2 to 3 years. And in this patient of a long-term debt issuance and we'll get into more details about that later. So at the storm, water district was created 2001 at for the purpose of providing safe and efficient conveyance of storm water runoff. It's governed by Indiana code and by local ordinance and a debt issued by the district must be approved by the council. So the district includes all Marin County with the exception of Beech Grove, Lauren Southport Speedway in Cumberland that's just under 900,000 residents and has just under 7 million dollars of a capital assets, including storm pipe to Levy, public roadway miles 9 lift stations. I'm here. You'll see our existing that we have 3 outstanding issues by the storm, water district. All of existing bonds are
rated aaa by s and p and crawl. So we recently issued a an rfp for short-term facility for 2 of 2 to 3 years. A short-term facility offers us some flexibility I would pay only interest during the construction period and pay only for funds are construction projects. We anticipate selecting a bank by the first week, FEBRUARY to engage with on the on the short term facility. And then at the end of the term anticipate issuing long-term debt to take out the short-term debt. So the stormwater improvement plan and this presented every year 5 year plan on a rolling basis by Tw in conjunction with their budget. And it lays out the funding sources for the plan and also at the capital projects and his bid to be
funded by the plan. And so all the projects funded by the short-term issuance will be projects, including the capital plan. Are fencing team. We have here and more advisors who is our financial advisor about weakening Evans or Bond Council. U.S. Things are trustee and we will expect just like the bank by the first week of FEBRUARY. Before you guys, I obviously public works that we dispute before council this resolution at their FEBRUARY meeting. Also have a couple trips before the Board of Public works. And our final stop will be at the Bond big board meeting in FEBRUARY. We anticipate closing on the shore to facility in MARCH. That's happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Any comments questions from counselors? Councilor Gibson? Thank you, MADAM Chair, and
thank you very much. Director for presentation and peers be reasonable and necessary. My question to you is on the on the program management was was involved in that because combined for year 5 year period just over. 24 million dollars. Just want to know. Is that what that means? And in the program management, means that we can you guess manage an overall project was with his second visit me. Yeah, I like to speak to that counselor. Sure. this is on the Looking at that five-year capital yes, the funding sources and the next slide that shows the expenditure breakdown. Yeah. So that the program management category includes a number of costs that are necessary in order to run the program. So included in that would be contracts. We have design and staff augmentation services for specific support for the stormwater program. So, you
know, obviously. That's kind of capturing administrative costs associated with the program, but also some project design, things like that. It includes costs for technology systems that we use to manage our capital program. So each transportation and storm water basically pay their share of those of those overhead costs of. That's what you're seeing wrapped up in that line. Councilor Kim, thank you. MADAM Chair. says you just did the rfp on. When they are something. So I know we don't know what you did here, but directionally what kind of radar you looking at on notes? What do you anticipate? Just ballpark? Yeah. Financial advisor. my name. Staying humble to resident Sycamore Advisors
works. Storm where probably since 2004, 7, very first financing at the time. And then we worked on that. Rate structure, which we think and hopefully breeze working area actually. Compared to other cities around the country as a very affordable rate. Court below But it's But it's a very affordable rates system. So short on borrowing right now. We would expect something this is going to be a guess, right? Because we don't have your keys back. It will depend. We did really brought solicitation. I think we sent them out to over 40 banks and we're going to look both. What they call commercial paper. And also notes. As Joe noted,
one of the advantages of either program is we're only paying for what we use. So even though we're going authorize 50 million, we're not spending 50 million on day one right? I think pretty close to 18 months, right something for it it ramps up over time. But initially we're just obviously can have design engineering projects. So as we draw down the funds, we would pay as we use the funds to theirs. The benefit of that. We expect that we would I'm gonna say probably interest rate in the range of 3% white. Well, for the the program, I would actually think we could be lower than that. It's really going to depend. And then take into account that were only pain really for what we're using the net. Great
like on that. The last 50 million that we bought which was in. 21. We're tired with Bob long-term bonds to 24. I think our net ratings on your 2%. We need to get on. And it just very attractive borrowing cost. Questions cancer or a Thank you, MADAM Chair. Just look at these numbers here. It's it's very interesting how the numbers fluctuate so much. So you get the surface, drainage your by your totals goes from 10 million to 30 Million. Back to 6 million, 10 Million. Again. And I was interested. You know, these projects for each year already the plan, if so kind of 12 level of specificity. Curious, thank you. a question councilors looking at as you would guess
a lot of that has to do it. Project schedules and big timing. So like with what you're seeing in, you know, 2025 in 2026. Is the schedule for pretty significant project, which is Fountain Square drainage project scheduled you know, move forward this year. And so you're seeing the funds get tied up for that project in this cash flow. So that's part of the project for timing in issuance like this now because we have, you know, significant project flow moving forward this year. This is a point which we need no funds available. And so that's why we're bringing this to you now, instead of a year ago when we wouldn't necessarily needed to tap into that 50 million dollar line of credit yet. Gotcha. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the explanation. Any other comments, questions? Anyone in the public who wishes to speak on proposal? Number 15? MADAM CHAIRMAN, recent proposal 15, the full Council
do pass recommendation. It has been moved and second into central postal number 15, the full council with the do pass recommendation. All those in favor say Aye. Aye opposed. Say nay. The ayes have it. Thank you very much the prison presenting. Finally, we have proposal number 31, which amends section 2.61, through 408, of the code pertaining to responsible baiting practices. And we have our very own colleague, counselor, Brown to present with us. Thank you. Council around. You MAY we're I'm going to be joined today by Carlos Alvarez in Scott will rich, who are work with? Apprenticeship friendship coordinators with the bricklayers? As I talk about this. So thank you. I'm thank you, MADAM Chair. Thank you, colleagues. It's because
it's very intimidating to say this is we're okay. I Council Allie Brown represent District Myself counts pass 3rd has a number. 31 2026 the focus of this is to tighten some requirements in our responsible that our ordinance so law requires us to pick the lowest responsible bid. So there are things that we put in requirements for responsibility. You wouldn't want alley's construction company who has never done road construction to be able to bid really low and deliver project. Can't do so. We we said all the standards and one of the standards that we've set historically is that projects involving construction commercial projects, horizontal projects
to road construction. That those people on that site been apprenticed entrepreneurship programs and know what they're doing in around that site. And I would say the majority of people are good actors and what that it and they are so what this does is it takes our rv or responsible bidder ordinance that says right now that it's required apprenticeship program in defines that to be the Fed to meet the federal standards and Department of Labor approved program. Department of Labor proved apprenticeship program and they'll be able to speak more to exact things in the apprenticeship. I just want to make it clear. This is not just a union thing. Associated builders and contractors, abc Ph cc. There are multiple Department of Labor associated Apprenticeship programs that you see all over construction
sites on Indianapolis. It is important to do this Talking about this. It's important to do it because what we're seeing is what we call apprenticeships on paper showing up. So you have a construction committed says, oh, yeah, I do an apprenticeship program. But with none of the actual things that is required, so that could be safety requirements. That's learning a trade. I mean, you don't want somebody who says they're a nurse because they've been hanging around a half little who didn't go to a near certified nursing school, right? It's the same kind of thing. I don't want. People requires laying bricks of my child's elementary school. And lest I know that they know what they're doing and of strong wind is going to take that down right? So that's what comes of going through an apprenticeship program as they are trained. They earn while
they learn whether they're going union, where Ivy Tech or abc the goat of incense, they get a college degree in that process. They become certified that is able to be passed around that dream and status is something that they always get to keep. So this will help our workforce development the city ensuring that that is happening, that we're building this next generation of construction workers. It will also be a way to monitor how we're spending city dollars. We spend a lot of money on construction. Anybody who's ever done construction on their home had something you don't want somebody who doesn't know what they're doing doing that because they're going waste. Probably they're going way stuff. They're going to take longer. So having that is a responsible way to monitor our tax dollars. And then it's also about safety construction project. Think of a massive construction project. There
are thousands of people on that job site and there is a trust that happens on that job site that all of those people know what they're doing. There's heavy equipment happening, electrical plumbing, brickwork. Everything you can think of is all happening at once. And there's a trust that happens to everyone on that site is trained in their job and knows what they're doing keeping everyone safe. So what this will do is ensure that safety of our people on the sites, safety of the workers. And it will also ensure that our taxpayer dollars are not being wasted by paying for people to do jobs that qualified to do and having to go back and do the work. I know that's a lot. If you actually look at the the ordinance, it's a one sentence changed. The ad is that adds that state, that state or Federal Department of Labor required apprenticeship
program. And so I have Scott here to talk a little bit about what an apprenticeship program is compared to just an on-the-job learning and gladly take any So Scott apprenticeship coordinator with the Indianapolis tile, Marble and Tourism centers. We are part of the bricklayers union before becoming the coordinator, actually, that Todd, the apprenticeship for 17 years. I also graduated from our partnership program in 2003. Our pre ship bases been around since 1970. We've over the last 30 years. We've actually graduated 122 apprentices, which averages out to be for princes a year. And we actually only have 260 members that contribute to our apprenticeship on the tile side. We have a separate Cullum for every premise study
provides the tools to ensure each one our presumption proper technique for installing and lasting quality product our bricklayer friendship program actually has 284 registered apprentices and over the last 30 years, they've graduated an average of 49 apprentices per year. Not only do we have our friendship, but we also partner and visit local cte programs across the state of educating students of industry growth need for bricklayers, career opportunities and advancements. The Robert Apprenticeship over 40 schools. Our corporations are implemented. The va see Mason recaps, though we have like 5 of them crossed that actually incorporate the 40 schools.
And and basically I say all this to say that we need a good ordinance that backs the companies who are local to this area and committed ensuring that workforce are properly trained. And that's it. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yet. And there are others experts of the room to if you have questions that I can and we can answer comments. Questions from colleagues. Council, CHAIRMAN. Thank you. Council Brown. Distilling the it's a and it does it help. Addressing the workarounds. But unfortunately see with folks being to 99 for this help. Yes, so if if you're not familiar, there's an issue happening in the commercial. And all construction and we've seen a non commercial sites worker misclassification and tax fraud. So I'm going pretend like I own a
construction company. So Ali, can Allie Brown construction goes out and gets people and says you come work for me. Oftentimes are preying on our most vulnerable populations. You come work for me. All right. In the paper, apprenticeship. Sure. I'm training trainee going through apprenticeship program, but also to 99 to you. So what is happening then is that these people don't have any protections on the job site. They get injured. Layoff, they have no repercussions. Anything like that. And then when for us as a city where basically losing, I believe the estimates this is a couple years ago, the last estimate was really using about 8 million dollars a year in tax funding that we should be receiving through this payroll taxes. But as a worker, what's happening is these people shop
at the job site. They're being 10 99, some panther not being paid. They get injured on the site. They have no repercussions, no protections. They get laid off. There's nothing there. They're not going to an actual apprenticeship program. So all of that experiences is knowledge. They want to go over to another company and then frankly, we're seeing even an increase in human trafficking in the construction industry by bringing these people in taken across state lines. If somebody is here undocumented, they're saying, hey, you know, I if we're not going to pay, but if are at recall your family, look on your family stuff like that. So all of these things will go back to that worker protection making our job site safer for everyone on that site and and making sure that we're going after the bad actors that are
praying upon people that are not doing what they're supposed to be doing and that are, frankly, wasting taxpayer money and not paying enough if we're going to spend that taxpayer money on these projects. It's important that the people in those projects are being paid properly and are kind getting on the back end. Thank you. Council Brown. I appreciate that because I know we've talked about this specifically in and just the the workaround of that and I think is my colleagues know I'm a longer tax repair and without disclosing the confidentiality or anything. I had a neighbor last year or this exact situation happened and everything that articulate is right on. Plus they owe back right? Because there's just the administrative side that if your w employee right,
lot of this is taken care of for you. And now you have someone who's been working very, very hard and now owes on his back taxes because of one think so. Anyway, I really appreciate that. I'm glad that that will help address. Yes, I see is a very serious issue, especially as you articulated with how we are spending public dollars the So thank you for for caring this. Thank you. CHAIRMAN. That's Thank you, MADAM I'm trying understand. Couple things. One, the. The sentence that's added in here. You talk about the apprenticeship, but that's that's different section. And I guess trade Anderson word says. 2 things here. Affirmation of compliance. With all political, federal, state and local laws. So and so forth. So is. The
situation today that because I guess I'm trying understand this seems like this happens in process. But if this is just an affirmation, not even on the readings, not even under penalty of perjury, things. So when somebody bids on the project, they have to fill out right now there's basically check box that says let's have an apprenticeship program. People are passed. This would be check. Yes, I have a Department of Labor approved apprenticeship program and apprentices which then if somebody is checking that, that is that and they don't, that's fraud. And that allows us to go back at some of back at bad actors and do whatever it is that we do when they break contracts and we reclaim processes from Monday. So so I guess. So they're doing something today. They they check that they have an apprenticeship program.
But friendship programs in violation of state and federal law already right and then. But I guess I'm trying understand so nothing under without this. Saying where nothing happens in that scenario. Long as that person kind of like, oh, yeah. Admitting an apprentice program. We don't have those standards and there's okay show us your program. Tell us about it shows the standards. And a good world. You know, it wouldn't be bad actors. You are doing But construction projects. You guys know their their big projects. There's a lot of its people get in there and then. A big company bids and then their subs and substance and sometimes. It's happening on our site since their sights, their projects that we have approved that I have. And really been told that this is happening on
it. So that's why I want to make sure to close this loophole in project. Thank Council boots. Thank you, MADAM Chair and thank thank you for the presentation. Just a couple statutory interpretation, questions you say but limited to bubble of light of requirements of federal or state Department of Labor. Yes. So those when I read that, it suggests to me that those better be quite equivalent. Otherwise I could comply with one which be much lesser standard than the other. You know, it's still kind of sneak around your intent. So our state complaint with the federal actually goes about and they're actually the state has its own responsible betting ordinances. So this would then follow those 2. And they're actually debating in the state House different additions and to tighten those, including a verification of people on job sites and stuff like that,
which would then down apply to us. So this is this is looking at just making that a little bit tighter on our end because we do so many projects over 150,000. So would be what we time. What would you not want to make it tighter by saying? Picking the state or the federal and going with a higher standard. This just MAY be the fact that I'm not I I am I am thought that. I am open to eye. If we need to do an amendment on that to make it stronger. I I I honestly probably mind for or Would do that, ok? Second question back on another page does look like there's another miner in minutes. And I am I apologize. I should have told you that I'm going offer a strike at a stricter amendment on that afterwards because we already do that. So after talking
life, Director Wilson today, it would be redundant to add that into this one. We already report out why we didn't pick the lowest bands as best as something as a standard practice for all. Something we're required to do are ready to back on subsection me. Yes, apologize, guys. I'm gonna not offer an amendment that didn't realize earlier that we were already doing that. want read that a written explanation will be provided the it's the city that the explanation. Thank you. And they already they already do that. Thank counter Gibson. Thank you, MADAM Chair and thank you, counselor, for all those who worked on trying to sure that we have higher standards among our are beating work and more importantly that the insurance that we have quality work. And so I applaud all of involved. You're willing like to be a
co-sponsor, I'd love to have Thank you. Thank you. Conservatives. Thank you. MADAM Chair. After my.
