And if everybody's got a pen Ordinance 2.05.070 covers your conflicts of interest in your own ordinances. And I'm really surprised that somebody like the city manager or the clerk or somebody didn't bring that up and say, this is what it says, like right now. Like, this should not have been an issue tonight, and I'm really disappointed that it was. And I just wanted to say welcome to Shirk and good luck on your time here. And thank you guys that are not returning next time.
