So it'll be the same platform. It's just about rearranging it on whether or not we want to have housing authority before city council meeting. There are many options and we can bring this back as a resolution to try to define it. Cause right now our housing authority resolution is dated. And it is saying that it's, I think when we talked about this before that when the closed session was updated to start at 5 p.m on a Tuesday housing

authority just carried over that way but it didn't actually get adopted by resolution so it's not

updated. Anyways I don't want to bring it up because I look it's not on the agenda but maybe you could just you know keep us posted and let us know how we can you know if you need to make this a little bit more user friendly for us, easier for the public to access and, you know, just make it a little bit more streamlined, but yeah, keep us posted on that. You know, any improvements will be welcomed, but with that, everybody, thank you for hanging in there. Have a good night. We are adjourned.
