is a conference a bill and can  be put in a conference committee report and do you know if the details are  it increases the percentage I believe so I   can get you the specific um details I'll  send you a follow-up email on that thank you we see no other questions Marley thank  you very much thank you have a great weekend   you too um I will do this every time that  we use taxpayer dollars to go out of the   city um so that we have again transparency  and what has happened uh this entire Council   went to Washington DC over the past few days all  seven members attended uh the national league of   cities as well as met with Congressional leaders  specifically Senator Moran and Senator Marshall   um this is our federal priorities for the year  among one of the top priorities that we advocated   for was tax exempt municipal bonds which help us  with a lot of the capital projects specifically   police stations fire stations libraries rec  centers um it is very important for the city   um but it's not just the city of Witchita it  actually is a topic that the national league   of cities also was advocating for while ALS  also at the National League of cities had an   opportunity to represent again witchta being the  largest city in Kansas uh the large cities meeting   um and during that meeting uh we had multiple uh  conversations about um the grants that come down   from the federal government down to municipalities  and so I asked city manager Leighton to send me   uh but I'd like him to send it out to all  the council members all the grants that the   receives from the federal government and how  those would affect the different departments   as you know a large portion of public transit  is funded by federal dollars um and so that was   something that um was part of that spreadsheet  that was eye openening in terms of knowing where   all the federal dollars are coming from by  category or by department so I think um all   council members would appreciate seeing that too  in addition uh while I was there I also serve as   co-chair of the National League of cities  Advanced Air mobility and drone integration   Forum uh specifically about Aviation as we all  know this is the air capital of the world uh we   need to continue to advocate for our city uh the  jobs that we currently have but also the future   jobs that we could have uh regarding drones  and air Mobility so we had a good conference   um had the also opportunity to meet with mayor  of DC um and we had the opportunity to talk to   her about uh the connection that we now have  since the tragedy uh of American Airlines 5342   uh we gifted her a small Keeper of the Plains to  remind her of again um our gratitude to her but   more specifically Her First Responders in the wake  of the tragedy um and so again I'm again grateful   that um we as a council went to DC to advocate  for this city and I'll be doing again this um   every time that there are taxpayer dollars funding  our travel would any council members like to add anything if not um I will thank you appreciate it  that um in addition to the number of courses that   they had for the national league of cities I know  I had a lot of conversations with other electeds   around affordable housing housing affordability  um what their communities are doing and trying to   get some ideas around that and also quality  of life in those areas um that's something   that we tend to keep front of mind when we have  our conversations so asked a few of my elected   colleagues around the country to send some policy  ideas um to see what we can do here in Witchita   and to your first point um I think everybody  is trying to look at all the details of what   federal funding is coming into their communities  and we've talked about there was a few colleagues   that looked at you know what would be the  long-term impact if their city had to take   on those individuals or if they had a national  park in their city and you know how that would   work so that's I think that's top of mind again  as well for a lot of communities here in this   country I will just add that um vice president  JD Vance was one of the keynote speakers and   his topic was about housing and that it  is a bipar is an issue um I believe every   Community is facing the need for more housing  of all sizes of all types and of all uh income   brackets so um again witchat is not immune to  the conversation regarding housing and I'm glad   that um it is being heard at the federal level  at the state level and here at the local level uh last but no go ahead you go ahead any any  further comments from NLC or DC um tomorrow   morning is the district 2 Breakfast um and we  will have Gary Jansen talk about drought water   reuse Red Bud Trail all things public work so 9:00  tomorrow morning at the Regent and then Teresa my   wonderful community service representative  and I will hustle down to the parade at noon that's it so uh tomorrow it will be the St  Patrick's Day Parade in deleno council member   Glascock and council member Ballard both are  inviting us to the deleno area as they share   that neighborhood uh
