Seeing no further Alderman wishing to be heard, is there a motion to recommend this order containing the Health Department revolving account, please? So moved. Alderman Forbes has made that motion, duly seconded by Alderman Inferna. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? The Health Department revolving account will be recommended to the full board. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mrs. Clay. The next order we have, number four on our agenda tonight. Is order 2016-159. It is the water enterprise operating budget, and next is the sewer enterprise operating budget. We have no less than ten orders regarding water and sewer tonight. We've already had an introductory presentation from the city's consultant, Ralph Tellis. There will be, in the upcoming weeks, another public hearing on the water and sewer rates. So I would respectfully recommend to the board, we're probably not going to pass anything this evening. We're going to have a good presentation, I'm sure, from our public works department and from our chief financial officer. So, let's keep in mind that we are in the relatively early days. President Kahn, please.
