Um, so I will pass it off to him to talk through SMIC and then the harbor. Thank you, Madam City Manager. Um, great intro, and the library presentation went entirely too fast. So in discussions with Seward, Finance Director Jusino, we are going to make some small changes this year to align our expenditures and our expenses and our revenue coming in. The first one we're going to propose is a rate increase of 10% plus CPI for our travel lifts for '27 and '28.
