District eight. District nine. I. The motion is carried. Nine. Zero. Thank you, Madam. 20. Item 20 Report from Financial Management Recommendation to authorize City Manager to amend contracts for the purchase and delivery of petroleum fuels for a revised aggregated amount not to exceed 13.6 million and extend the term of the contract to October 31st, 2022. City by City Motion in a second. Any public comment on this item. At their any members of the public they would like to speak on item 20. Please line up at the podium in the zoom. Please use the raise hand feature in Dagestan. I now. We have one member in person. Your time begins now. Thank you. My name is Dave Shukla. I'm a resident of the third district. And I'd just like to say that for a town that sells so much oil, how is it that we have to purchase our own refined petroleum fuel products? I mean, we've got refineries ringing around us on at least one side. But more generally, I mean, you know, Friday's Earth Day, right. I'd love to hear why why item 18 was withdrawn. I mean, we've got money to pay for fuel. We've got grant money to pay for other things. But apparently we can't schedule things. It's hard to make sense of how these agendas get thrown together and then chunked up in the meeting and just kind of at will punched back together on the the the city archive. But it should be said, you know, oil run town, you can't make it in fuel. Thank you. That concludes public comment. Thank you, Councilman Allen. Yes, I thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to add, you know, I can't wait until petroleum contracts are no longer necessary. And I know that we have staff working on that to make sure that's a sometime in the future a reality. But we're not there yet. So I support the contract amendment while we put out a competitive, competitive invitation to bid. Coulson was in the house. Going the comments of Councilwoman Allen. And also would like to see if staff could. Maybe you can answer this right now. Maybe not. But what our local air district quality regulations require and whether they'll and whether it's through this item, we can or don't meet that standard, if that makes sense. Councilwoman. We do have Dan Berlant back from our Fleet Services. He may be able to answer that question regarding the air quality standards. Dan. Thank you. Yes, Mayor Garcia, Councilwoman, we meet all the local standards. There are different ones depending on the type of vehicle that's in question. But we meet or exceed all those standards with what we operate. Thank you. There's a motion in the second. Please roll call vote. District one and district two I visit three. I. District four i.
