On here, I believe there are how many items? >> 16. So, I'm not sure um what the structure was when we first started this. Um, but after reviewing this uh over the weekend, it appeared to me that we're not accomplishing what we were trying to set out to do initially. The initial goal, I thought, was to give for the alderman to agree on with priorities that the city staff will be working on during 2027. When I look at this list of 16 items, that's not what we ended up with on this list. Um, and a quick e easy example of one that's up there is child care, healthc care, and a 12-month economy. Um, there are some things up there that I think are good long-term goals. They're good guidel …
