NUMBER 17, THIS IS OUR LAST ONE IS AN MDF APPROPRIATING $500 FROM DISTRICT 15 NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT FUNDS TO METRO PARKS FOR APPLICATION FEES FOR THE IROQUOIS HILL RUNNERS CLUB FOR TWO EVENTS SWAGS FIVE K ON MAY 20TH AND PIZZA RUN ON JUNE 10TH, AND THE SPONSOR IS COUNCILWOMAN CHAPEL. PROPERLY MOVED AND SECONDED. DO YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT IT? SURE. I'M GOING TO PREFACE THIS BY SAYING I'M NOT A RUNNER AND I WILL NOT BE ATTENDING THESE EVENTS. BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE WHO RUN. THIS IS JUST COVERING THE METRO PARKS APPLICATION FEES. 
          IT'S $500 JUST SO THAT RUNNERS DON'T HAVE TO COVER THAT COST. AND I THINK IT'S A VERY WELCOME AND TREASURED EVENT. THEY ARE BOTH WELCOME AND TREASURED EVENTS IN DISTRICT 15 AND IN IROQUOIS PARK. AND JUST CURIOUS, WHAT DOES THE I MEAN, THE 500 IS COVERING THE APPLICATION FEES, BUT WHAT DOES THE APPLICATION FEES GO TOWARDS? I THINK THAT INCLUDES THE CLOSURE OF THE PARK AND THE BARRICADES. SO RENTAL OF THE SPACE. OKAY. AND METRO PARKS WOULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY DO THAT. 
          OKAY. THEY THEY SURE DON'T. ALL RIGHT. SO. THIS REQUIRES A VOICE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? NO. THE AYES HAVE IT AND THE LEGISLATION PASSES. OH, MAY I SAY SOMETHING BEFORE YOU ADJOURN? YES.E HAVE FIVE BATS AND PROCLAMATIONS FOR MY MORNING JACKET THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GIVEN TO THEM ON THE 24TH WHEN WE UNVEIL THE BANNERS. SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE SIGN THE BATS AND THE PROCLAMATIONS ON THE TABLE OUT HERE. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, MISTER CHAIR.
