I am glad this is a temporary budget because there is an awful lot of things that were passed on that amendment this evening that need to be discussed in-depth. Councilman Limpert voted yes with comment. I want to congratulate the Finance Chair for a thorough process and also I am enthused by the open dialog that we had during it to discuss items of question or concern that will help, I think, in the future as budget items come up that there is a clear understanding of where things may differ among councilmembers and where there is agreement. So I really applaud the chair for a thorough process and also some of my colleagues who proposed changes and amendments so we could understand what those implications would be. Thank you.
