Hi, good evening. My name is Lauren storbie. I am a business owner here in Fort Collins. And first and foremost, I just want to say thank you for all of your time, your discussions, your emails, or phone calls and doing what you do for our community. So thank you, I am going to be speaking on behalf of the business community, most importantly, the hospitality sector, our largest sector here in Northern Colorado, and also the small business community in general that supports our local economy, right, we are built on small businesses. Now secondly, I want everyone to understand I am all for paying people well, and many employers here in Fort Collins would agree that we do people well, we pay people so well that we are paying our employees more than what we are paying ourselves. And when we have talked about wage compression in the past, it is happening now we have kitchen managers that I am more than willing to pay because they are worth it $45,000 a year. And we are making nearly half of that taking that home as a single family that has a mortgage that is invested in our community, right? We have a business, we're opening another business. I'm an SBDC, consultant for restaurants as well. So there's a lot of restaurant owners that are not willing to come and stand and speak and share their voice. But it is happening. Now, since the beginning, we've talked about what is the problem we're trying to solve and who are we trying to help? And it's been really hard to get a straight answer as far as what is the problem? It seems that it's housing affordability, its affordability in our community, raising the minimum wage is going to directly affect multiple sectors, prices are gonna go up. And I know that's hard to grasp. But that is the reality. That is what is happening in our business. You're seeing it across the board in all sectors, child care, education, nonprofits, they're all of our expenses are increasing, and we just can't keep up. But what we do is we raise our prices. In our business, we have raised our prices 30% Over the last year, and we have customers paying anywhere from 18 to $22, an hour for a sandwich bag of chips and a cookie, or I'm sorry, and a soda. Do we want to see $25 for a meal and argue, if you vote for this, are you willing to take responsibility for that, because that is exactly where we're headed. Now, in order for restaurants to maintain profitability, we need to stay at 30% of our wages. Wages are our biggest expense. So again, this is going to be a direct reflection of increased prices. Just a heads up. Let's see, we will be taking away team perks, we will be taking away team building experiences in order to accommodate a minimum wage increase. Thank you. Thank you very much, John.
