Thanks. I'm coming a little late to this, and generally I try to stay pretty well informed, but I see that there's only been 20 responses. So I really hope that you'll reopen this to the public and try to get our community to weigh in more on this. I did just look at it very briefly today and was a little bit surprised that these are the 5 priorities when I understand that this is supposed to be really community-based and maybe a little bit income community-based. So, um, I find that the fire truck being number 1, I think if we open this up, that that might change.
