Uh, yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. Um, I think, uh, Member Perez-Verdia encapsulated, um, really the intent behind this. And I guess I will only emphasize that, um, really the reason behind this commission and the— and trying to create this commission is to allow some form of municipal entity where a bridge can be created between the public and our public safety agencies. And I think that is really why this commission is trying to be recreated and where it could have a lot of power in our community. So I hope that members will look at it from that perspective.
