Excuse me, Councilman. Councilwoman Miller, did you want to go first?
Thank you, Madam President. Madam President, I just want to state for the record and in Mr. Ali's comments during public comments that there is a community benefits agreement that I would say is probably about 90, 95 percent completed. I actually thought it would be completed by today, but I think they were -- they did not know that today was -- the community didn't know that today was our last session of Council. There was some confusion. But I just want to state for the record that both parties have met. In fact, they met in my office a couple weeks ago, and they're continuing to meet. I believe that what has not been completed isn't total agreement on a few items such as language, but this is an important part. The completion of the community benefits agreement is an 2ND READING important part of this whole process. So I just wanted to make that statement for the record. Thank you. And its completion is key.
Thank you, Madam President. I just learned during public testimony that my firm represents an interested party in this bill, and to avoid the appearance of impropriety, even though I don't believe it's technically required, I will abstain on this vote.
Thank you. The Chief Clerk will please call the roll.
