But the reason that I still move to, to make this amendment is that when I look, we're going to act on our budget overall as a whole tonight. We've received a good amount of feedback from the community about things people would like not to be defunded.

And the way that we got our fund balance out of the negative numbers and back to a positive number was to eat into our CIP.
