There's, uh, no Common Council guest speaker. We do have community communication from the mayor, uh, at proposed resolution number 11. The mayor's writing to request your support and adoption of the attached resolution calling on the state of New York to permanently adjust aid and incentives for municipalities' funding to reflect inflation, state budget growth, and the needs of our local property taxpayers. AIM was designed as structural funding, is unrestricted state revenue sharing that helps cities fund everyday operations and essential services. Because AIM has remained flat for years, it has become disconnected from real costs and from the financial reality municipalities are expected to manage. New York State has demonstrated it can respond to inflation. The state funded over $2 billion in one-time inflation relief payments to individuals and households. This resolution is not some asking for more money. It's asking to restore equitable revenue sharing and to rebuild a balanced municipal funding structure that has eroded over time. The state-level fix is modest in the context of the overall budget. I'm requesting that the council adopt this resolution so we can present, present a united front through our state delegation. Thank you for your consideration and for continuing to work as we advocate for the funding structure that better reflects the reality cities are being asked to manage. So you guys want to vote on this tonight or put it in committee?
