STAFF REPORT
Item No. 2.

Meeting Date: January 18, 2022
Submitted to: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Department: Public Works Department
Staff Contact: Mike James, Assistant City Manager / Public Works Director [email protected]
Item Title: Approve a Memorandum of Understanding with San Diego Metropolitan Transit System for Bus Shelter and
Bench Advertising
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution (Attachment A) approving a memorandum of understanding with San Diego Metropolitan Transit System for Bus Shelter and Bench Advertising.

Summary: This fiscal year the City Council directed staff to identify opportunities to reduce trash and increase cleanliness citywide. This agenda item presents an opportunity to partner with San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) to assume ownership and maintenance of all bus shelters and benches in the City. If approved, this partnership will delegate all trash duties, graffiti mitigation, and structural maintenance of all bus shelters and benches in the City to MTS. This will allow city staff’s time, materials, and resources to be allocated to other priorities.

The background and discussion sections below will provide a historic summary of past reports that were presented to the City Council, list the benefits and drawbacks of approving the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with MTS, elaborate further on details of the agreement, and conclude with staff’s recommendation to approve the MOU and estimate next steps moving forward.

Background: Since 2013, staff has presented three reports to the City Council, that discussed bus shelters or benches in the City. Each of those dates are listed below with the discussion points and any direction provided to staff from the City Council. • April 16, 2013 (Attachment B) – Staff asked for the City Council’s feedback regarding its interest in entering into a MOU with MTS to partner in its advertising and maintenance program. Staff presented a comparison of the benefits and drawbacks of a potential partnership as well as specific topics that staff requested from the City Council to provide feedback about. Those topics included: receive revenue from advertisements by MTS, focus on bus shelters first SDMTS Bus Shelter and Bench Advertising
January 18, 2022
Page | 2
and then benches, how many shelters and benches will be impacted, is solar lighting included, and what are the terms of the agreement.

The City Council directed staff to learn more about the MTS bus shelter and bench advertising program. Specifically, the City Council was interested in learning more about maintenance response types and times, primary customers that advertise on bus shelters and bus benches, advertisement protocol, and fiscal impacts to the City if a partnership is pursued.
• May 21, 2013 (Attachment C) – Staff returned with a report that detailed responses to each of the questions posed by the City Council in April 2013. a. Maintenance response types and times,
b. Primary customers that advertise on bus shelters and bus benches, c. Advertisement protocol, and
d. Fiscal impacts to the City if a partnership is pursued.

The report concluded with two options for the City Council to consider: First, partner with MTS to manage the bus shelters and benches in the City. Second, remove and replace the bus shelters and continue to maintain the bus shelters and benches with City forces.
• March 2, 2015 (Attachment D) – Staff returned with a report that requested to purchase ten bus shelters and remove and replace them with City contractor/forces. This staff report was prefaced with a June 2014 memorandum to the City Council (included in Attachment D) that summarized communications with MTS between May 2013 and June 2014, what a construction timeline would look like and staff’s recommendation to forego the partnership with MTS and move forward with the replacement project.

The entire duration of this project started in January 2013 and ended with the March 2015 decision for the City to move forward on its own to replace the bus shelters. Looking back to January 2013 the main reason that staff presented this project to the City Council was to save money by not having to maintain the bus shelters, reduce calls for service to clean graffiti and remove trash and debris, and eliminate liability if any incident were to occur at the bus shelter that could have resulted in a claim against the City.

Currently, the City manages the following bus stops with and without furniture listed below:

Description of Bus Furniture Quantity
Benches 18
Shelters 10
Stops 52
Trash Receptacles 19
Stops without Furniture 31
SDMTS Bus Shelter and Bench Advertising

Discussion: City staff has maintained 10 bus shelters that were purchased and installed since 2015. As opportunities present themselves to streamline City operations, staff evaluates each opportunity to determine if it warrants further exploration. This staff report outlines the most recent opportunity which staff believes the City can reduce its maintenance costs and free up staff time by approving the MOU with MTS for bus shelter and bus bench advertising.

City staff currently spends three hours per week to maintain the bus shelters in the City.

That equals approximately $800 per month for staff, vehicles, materials, and equipment.

Additionally, twice per month each bus shelter is power washed by the City’s contractor that costs $1,800 per month.

The total maintenance costs per month equals approximately $3,892. If the MOU with MTS were approved all city maintenance costs will decrease to zero and MTS will be the responding party to all calls for service for maintenance and repair. This is the major benefits that the MOU would offer to the City, a savings of $46,704 annually A summary of all benefits and drawbacks of partnering with MTS through this MOU are detailed in the table below:

Expenditure Description City Expenses City Expenses with MTS Agreement
Personnel $755 $0
Equipment $329 $0
Materials $488 $0
Power Washing $2,320 $0
Total Monthly Expenditures $3,892 $0
Benefits Drawbacks
Transfers ownership of all bus shelters
and bus benches to MTS.

Advertisements may clutter the
appearance.

Relieves the City from maintaining the
Shelters.

May receive complaints about
advertisements.

Adds new modern shelters and
benches.

Allows for the City to repurpose its
TDA funds to improve the City streets
near bus stops.

Reduces the City’s liability by
transferring ownership to MTS.

Lastly, staff wanted to highlight topics that were raised for staff to follow up with additional information in the past as well as current activities that will be required if the MOU is approved. Staff has confirmed the accuracy of each topic with MTS staff.

1. Advertisement Protocol: MTS Board Policy No. 21
(https://sdmts.com/sites/default/files/policy.21.rev_generate_display_ad_con cessions_merchandise.pdf) outlines information about MTS’ advertising protocol. Section 21.2 states, “The subject matter for all advertising materials displayed on MTS property shall be limited to Commercial Speech.” Further it elaborates as to what is allowed as Commercial Speech in Sections 21.2.1 and

21.2.2 regarding MTS Operations Advertising that promotes MTS transit services programs or products and Public Service Advertisements from Local, State or Federal Government Agencies regarding public programs, public services, and public events. The MTS policy further identifies types of advertisement that are prohibited, such as:
• Personal attacks on an individual or group,
• Political or electoral advertisements,
• Portrayal of violence,
• Nudity, erotic or obscene advertisements,
• Alcohol, tobacco, or firearms advertisements, and
• Profanity.

A full list of non-permitted advertisements is identified in Section 21.3 of the MTS policy.

2. Removal and Replacement of the Existing Furniture: The 10 existing bus shelters will be replaced by MTS contractors. Further, MTS committed to installing new bus benches at the 18 other stops. The City will be required to disassemble and remove the 10 bus shelters prior to MTS contractors installing the new shelters.

3. MTS Graffiti Response Time: All forms of graffiti will be cleaned by MTS’ contractor, including etching. The MTS contractor is required to respond within 48 hours of notice.

The MOU outlines several other terms that are detailed below:
• Term: 10 years with exclusive rights assigned to SDMTS. • Advertising: Transit shelters and bus benches with advertising shall be permitted only in commercial, industrial or multifamily housing areas in the City unless otherwise authorized by the City Manager. Per Board Policy No. 21 digital advertisements are authorized.
• Maintenance: SDMTS will provide all ongoing maintenance for every transit shelter or bench which was installed by SDMTS. Shelters and benches shall be repaired or replaced within 48 hours of notification to MTS of any damage, vandalism, or graffiti found.

SDMTS Bus Shelter and Bench Advertising
January 18, 2022

• Termination of MOU: The City may terminate this MOU if SDMTS or its contractor materially breaches the terms or conditions with no payment to SDMTS or its contractor. If the City terminates without cause, with 365-day notice, the City shall pay MTS the current value for every transit shelter or bus bench installed. MTS may terminate this MOU without cause, with 365-day notice, and negotiate with the City to take possession and ownership of the shelters and bus benches or remove each and restore the sidewalk to a safe and usable condition.

If the MOU is approved, City staff anticipates the following tasks will be completed with the associated timeline.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the MOU with MTS for Bus Shelter and Bus Bench Advertising. The benefit of partnering with MTS, notwithstanding what was already discussed, frees up Public Works staff to no longer allocate time and resources to cleaning the bus shelters each week. That time and resources can now be dedicated to other activities necessary to accomplish the City Council priority tasks moving forward.

Honorable Chair and Members of the District Board

Mike James, Assistant City Manager / Public Works Director [email protected]

Award an Agreement with Rick Engineering Company to
Design the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and Fiscal Year 2021-
2022 Sewer Replacement and Maintenance Project
(Contract No. 2021-24)
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution (Attachment A) awarding an agreement with Rick Engineering Company to design the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Sewer Replacement and Maintenance Project (Contract No. 2021-24).

Summary: The City’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies street, sanitation, traffic, drainage, parks and facilities projects for design and/or construction each year. In line with that program, District staff focuses its resources to accomplish each project as listed in the CIP. This current fiscal year, one project was identified to consolidate two years of sanitation district sewer rehabilitation which is called the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Sewer Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project. District staff advertised a request for proposals with the District’s short list of pre-qualified firms and concluded that Rick Engineering Company was the most qualified and best firm to design and oversee the construction of this project moving forward. The staff report will further describe the details about the project, the selection process, and concludes with staff’s recommendation to award a professional services agreement to Rick Engineering Company (Rick Engineering).

FY 20-21 and FY 21-22 Sewer Rehab Project
January 18, 2022
Page | 2
Discussion: The Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Sewer Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project (Project) was identified as a priority project in the 2017 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan to repair and/or replace because of the pipe age and accessibility to maintain. The project consists of eight (8) locations that are highlighted below:

1. CIP #2: Miscellaneous Manhole Repairs;

2. CIP #5: Mt. Vernon to Shirley Lane Lining;

3. CIP #8: Broadway South Repair;

4. CIP #11: Skyline at Mt. Vernon Repair;

5. CIP #13: Baldwin, Roy, Kempf Repair;

6. CIP #25: Cinderella Place Replacement;

7. CIP #26: Taft Street Replacement; and

8. CIP #27: Mt. Vernon St. Replacement.

This project will include developing engineering plans, design specifications and cost estimates (PS&E) and related construction documents. The scope of work also requested bid and construction support.

Consultant Selection Process: On October 26, 2021, the District advertised a request for proposals (RFP) to its short list of three pre-qualified firms to assist the City/District with services and/or support of the Five Year Capital Improvement Program. On November 10, 2021, two firms submitted proposals in response to the RFP. Those two firms were Dokken Engineering and Rick Engineering Company (Rick Engineering). The third firm notified the District that it would not be able to provide a proposal due to timing and workload.

The RFP included criteria that the selection committee used to evaluate each proposal.

That criteria included: proposal conforms to format/key issues discussed, project manager/team member capabilities, ability to meet project deadlines, scope of work and budget. The final average scoring summary that the selection committee agreed upon is shown in the table below:

Consultant
Criteria
Total Format Team Deadlines Scope Cost
Rick Engineering
Company

14.5 25.375 19 28.25 8.481 94.60655
Dokken Engineering 14 22.125 19.5 26.25 9 90.875
While the final scoring average was close between the two firms, staff concluded that Rick Engineering’s preexisting District knowledge and experience of the project team as it related to sewer projects in the County made Rick Engineering a more responsive firm to work on project.

FY 20-21 and FY 21-22 Sewer Rehab Project
January 18, 2022
Page | 3
Recommendation: The selection committee concluded that the best consultant team to perform the scope of work based upon the above listed criteria was Rick Engineering.

Rick Engineering has worked with the District on past projects and demonstrated that it has the experience and technical competence to perform the work that the District is asking for now. Additionally, the proposed methodology to complete the work involves a significant level of communication that staff feels very comfortable working with the project team to address the specific needs at each of the eight locations.

The selection committee also reviewed the cost estimate that was included with each responsive proposal. It believes the cost estimate submitted by Rick Engineering of $331,949 is reasonable. Further, the cost estimate equals ~15% of the estimated construction cost estimate of $2.1 million, which is within industry standards. Staff created the following table to show a project cost estimate to perform all work associated with this project for the Board’s consideration.

As with most project work that involves the District sewer system, there are sewer main lines that exist in private property. In these instances, staff will always attempt to design the lines out of private property into public right-of-way if reasonable. But, in most instances that is not feasible and therefore the ongoing maintenance and repair of the line has to be performed where the line exists. It is important to note in the project cost estimate (shown above) there is an added line-item titled additive/alternative work that is proposed by Rick Engineering. That work is summarized below. • Task 2.1 Additive Alternative – Pre-Construction Corner Records Prepare and process up to twenty-eight (28) pre-construction corner records for monuments that occur within sewer improvement limit of work or construction area per Section 8771 of the Professional Land Surveyor's Act.

TOTAL: $54,000
• Task 2.1 (c) Additive Alternative – Additional Boundary Survey/Right-of-Way Prepare boundary survey, partial boundary survey, and/or computed right-ofway for CIP projects in which the sewer improvement limit of work crosses property or right-of-way lines, occurs on private property, and/or whose property (based on available GIS records). From review of proposed locations boundary survey, partial boundary survey, or computed right-of-way is presumed required for CIP-5, 8, 25, and CIP-2b, 2c, 2d, 2j and 2k. The District shall provide Title Reports.

Cost Description Amount
Based Scope of Work $331,949
Additive/Alternate Work $176,745
Sub-Total $508,694
Contingency (5%) $25,306

» CIP-5 Partial Boundary survey/ROW: $17,580
» CIP-8 Partial boundary survey/ROW: $7,260
» CIP-13: Provided in base scope
» CIP-25: Partial Boundary survey/ROW: $6,080
» CIP-2b: Right-of-way/Caltrans: $6,060

» CIP-2j : Partial Boundary/ROW: $6,080
» CIP-2k: Partial Boundary/ROW: $6,080
» CIP-2l: Provided in base scope
TOTAL: $65,195
• Task 2.5 Additive/Alternative - Legal descriptions and Exhibits From preliminary GIS research, it is anticipated that Sewer Project CIP-13 may have up to six (6) potential properties that contain existing public sewer but may not have an existing sewer easement. Similarly, according to available GIS data, CIP-2 (locations 2g and 2l) identify existing public manholes located on private properties, up to 5 potential properties, without existing sewer easements in place to allow for District maintenance access. Prepare sewer easement plats and legal descriptions for up to eleven (11) assumed affected properties, at a cost of $1,750 per legal and plat (up to $19,250).

TOTAL: $19,250
• Task 3.7 Additive/Alternative Miscellaneous Environmental Compliance with applicable environmental regulations will be a requirement of the project regardless of the anticipated NOE. Due to the presence of trees, shrubs, and other potential bird nesting habitat, Helix Environmental Planning (a subconsultant to Rick Engineering) has included this optional task to assist the City with compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code (CFG Code). If the planned replacement and maintenance activities must occur during the general bird nesting season (February 1st to August 31st) and would require removal or other disturbance to bird nesting habitat, pre-activity nesting bird surveys would be recommended to help ensure compliance with the MBTA and CFG Code. This optional task includes up to three (3) pre-activity nesting bird surveys and brief memoranda to document compliance. If additional surveys, documentation, or other services are requested by the City, those service could be provided under a contract amendment.

TOTAL: $5,900
• Task 4.2.2 Additive/Alternative Traffic Control
Provide data collection and prepare separate Traffic Control Plan sheets for the proposed improvements to be submitted and review with the Sewer CIP Improvement Plans for review. The following provides the anticipated sheets and stages for each CIP project:
» CIP-2h West Street north of Broadway. One (1) sheet for one (1) stage is anticipated.
» CIP-2i North Avenue at Buena Vista Avenue. One (1) sheet for one (1) stage is anticipated.

FY 20-21 and FY 21-22 Sewer Rehab Project
January 18, 2022
Page | 5
» CIP-2k Washington Street at Iderdell Lane. One (1) sheet for one (1) stage is anticipated.
» CIP-5 Mount Vernon Street and Madera Street. One (1) sheet for one (1) stage (Mount Vernon Street) is anticipated. One (1) sheet for one (1) stage (Madera Street) is anticipated.
» CIP-8 Broadway in the vicinity of Buena Vista Avenue. Three (3) sheets for six (6) stages of work are anticipated.
» CIP-11 along Mount Vernon Street and Skyline Drive in the vicinity of project. Seven (7) sheets for six (6) stages are anticipated. » CIP-13 Kempf Street in the vicinity of Roy Street. Two (2) sheets for two (2) stages are anticipated.

TOTAL: $32,400
Staff believes that the total project cost estimate of $534,000 is very conservative and will likely not all be needed to complete this project design. However, it is important to plan for a base design project as well as include all conceivable additive/alternative work items that may be encountered. By identifying the work items now, it will allow District and Rick Engineering staff to maintain a consistent and steady workflow to complete design of the project as soon as possible. If approved, staff envisions that the design work will begin in February 2022 and will be completed in Summer 2022, with the construction bid advertisement following shortly thereafter. The bid advertisement, contractor selection, contract award and construction will continue through Winter of 2023.

Environmental Review:

Not subject to review Negative Declaration
Categorical Exemption, Section Mitigated Negative Declaration Fiscal Impact: $300,000 was programmed in current fiscal year budget Account Number 16-00-00-7264. If the full project cost estimate is approved, staff requests that the District Board allocate an additional $234,000 from the undesignated balance of the Sanitation District Operations Fund to fund the project design costs.

Staff Recommendation: Adopt a resolution (Attachment A) awarding an agreement with Rick Engineering Company to design the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Sewer Replacement and Maintenance Project (Contract No. 2021- 24).

Dear City Council Members,
I work with young people and I’m concerned with their marijuana use. The youth’s attitude is often that weed is no big deal...lots of people smoke pot. It’s no more dangerous than taking your first sip of beer or wine.

I want to share with you two national surveys of US adolescents. The National Youth Tobacco Survey and Monitoring the Future estimated lifetime prevalence of marijuana use among grade 12 students as 15.6% and 28.3%, respectively.

Both studies found that marijuana vaping among adolescents has increased and has become a major public health concern for adolescents because of potential adverse respiratory, psychological, and social impacts. Marijuana addiction is real, and it hurts everyone, especially young people.

Not even the pandemic could stop marijuana use rates from rising among adolescents.

This data is extremely concerning and should act as a wake-up call for policymakers and the general public. With the normalization and commercialization of marijuana businesses the results are adolescents have more access to high potency THC products.

Public health and prevention measures are urgently needed to mitigate the increasing prevalence of marijuana use among our youth.

Thank you,
Barbara Gordon

Good Evening,
As a mother to children in their thirties and forties, as well as a public health educator, I am well aware of the unfortunate health outcomes, especially mental health issues that marijuana use causes for young adults.

Research now has linked cannabis use to the risk of a heart attack in adults ages 25-45. Those who have consumed marijuana more than 4 times in the last month have had almost double the amount of myocardial infarctions compared to those who were not users. The reasons for the connection could be related to higher heart rates and blood pressures attributed to cannabis use, as well as the high potency of the products today.

Dr. Sharif Mohr, an epidemiologist, holds a Master’s in Public Health and also received his PhD from our own UCSD. He remarked "There is a common misperception that any level of marijuana use is safe. However, the marijuana being used today is much more potent than what was encountered in the bygone hippy era."
The study also noted that marijuana use is contributing to a "burgeoning public health crisis that is only getting started and will get much worse unless lawmakers act quickly to rein in this newest addition to the for profit addiction industry".

Please remember Lemon Grove residents don’t need access to marijuana, it is everywhere. However good health is precious and the City should only involve themselves in those business activities that will enhance good health.

Subject: FOR PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT > impact that marijuana storefronts has on youth, promoting and normalizing its use, is inestimable
Date: Tuesday, January 18, 2022 2:56:32 PM
Dear City Council members, I am writing to you again as a parent advocate to draw your attention to the concern we have regarding what we see with our students’ mental health needs.

Recently KPBS feature reported that at Rady Children's Hospital, officials are reporting a 25% increase in mental health visits to their emergency room.

Willough Jenkins, a child psychiatrist and the inpatient medical director at Rady's reported that “Even before the pandemic mental health was in a crisis for youth — our numbers have been going up every single year so I don’t see this going down. Rady's has a 24-bed inpatient mental health unit which has been full. During the pandemic, a new psychiatric emergency room, called the Copley Psychiatric Emergency Department was opened.”
For those who are on the front line of students mental health, parents, PTA leaders, teachers, we need to underscore the role that marijuana plays in exacerbating mental health problems.

The impact that marijuana storefronts has on youth, promoting and normalizing its use, is inestimable. Remember that it is these marijuana storefronts that are the source of large billboards on I-5 & I-15, the sponsor of the slick postcards to citizens indicating their bargains for the week, and sell branded merchandise that students from the local high schools are wearing to class. The last situation has been created by the marijuana storefronts unapologetically named Cookies in La Mesa.

Subject: public health advisory on the mental health challenges confronting youth.

Good evening.

Judi Strang here, mother, grandmother, advocate for parents.

The lead story in the LA times yesterday was U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy public health advisory on the mental health challenges confronting youth.

This is a rare warning and call to action to address what he called an emerging crisis exacerbated by pandemic hardships.

Symptoms of depression and anxiety have doubled during the pandemic, with 25% of youth experiencing depressive symptoms and 20% experiencing anxiety symptoms, according to Murthy’s 53-page advisory.

In early 2021, emergency department visits in the United States for suspected suicide attempts were 51% higher for adolescent girls and 4% higher for adolescent boys compared to the same time period in early 2019, according to research cited in the advisory.

Murthy wrote in a preface to the advisory. “Mental health challenges in children, adolescents, and young adults are real, and they are widespread.

Especially students with disabilities and students of color from low-income families.

The 53 page Surgeon General’s Advisory calls on those who surround young people and shape their day-to-day lives—schools, health care systems, media, and government back the mental health proposals for children and youth.

The City’s marijuana storefronts can have an unfortunate impact on children, by promoting and normalizing marijuana use as solution for stress and anxiety..

The only people who want marijuana businesses in Lemon Grove are those who benefit financially from the sale of this drug where high concentrates of THC are smoked and vaped, and contribute to poor physical and mental health.

Subject: Non-Agenda Public Comment, CC Mtg. 1.18.22
Date: Tuesday, January 18, 2022 3:12:07 PM
This is from Kelly McCormick. I am a public health educator with a focus on youth alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention.

I would like to share an important new position paper from the American Psychiatric Association. It says, in part, “Given the lack of scientific support for safe cannabis use, and the known adverse impacts and risk for addiction, the American Psychiatric Association opposes the use of cannabis by children, adolescents and young adults up to age 25.”
This statement is significant, as little is being done to educate the public about this risk. Pot use by those under 25 can cause anxiety, depression, and marijuanainduced psychosis. It is linked to higher rates of self-harm and suicide. The San Diego County Medical Examiner's office released data on people under 25 who took their own lives, and 39% tested positive for THC.

We must acknowledge that marijuana use contributes to the downward slide, and in some causes, is the direct cause
Of adolescents who enter County funded treatment facilities, 82% report marijuana as their primary drug of choice.

It's important to keep in mind that today's marijuana is far different from the "Woodstock weed" of the past. Today's top selling products are highly potent concentrates, with nearly pure THC. These concentrates have a dramatic impact on brain chemistry, particularly when used by young people.

If we truly care about making a difference in young people’s lives, and preventing mental health crises, it would be wise to focus on marijuana prevention strategies, rather than encouraging its use through normalization and an expanded industry footprint.

Dear members of the City Council,
I am writing to urge your support for the MOU with MTS for bus shelter and bench advertising.

However, I have one suggestion. The staff report does not make clear what happens to the existing City-owned bus shelters after they are removed to make way for the new MTS shelters.

The existing shelters were purchased and installed at a cost of $106,000 in 2015, and presumably are still in good condition. It would be wasteful for these shelters to be thrown away or kept in storage, unused.

If the City Council moves forward with the MOU with MTS, the City should ensure that this $106,000 purchase from 2015 continues to benefit users of the public transit system by preserving and re-using these shelters in one of the following ways:

Relocate them to other bus stops in Lemon Grove that currently do not have overhead shelter
Sell them to MTS or to another jurisdiction for use at bus stops nearby (La Mesa, City of San Diego, or unincorporated County)
Donate them to MTS or another local jurisdiction
Thank you for considering these options.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Ogul
