Thank you, Madam Court, for reading that into the record. I move to pass Council Bill 119907. Is there a second leg? It's been moved and seconded to pass the bill. Councilmember Strauss, you're listed as the prime sponsor of the bill and are recognized in order to address this item. And then I will call for general comments by any other council members. Cosmo Address. Thank you. Council President. Thank you, colleagues. This legislation would extend the existing moratorium on redeveloping manufactured home parks by an additional six months. We held a public hearing on this legislation two weeks ago at full council and did not pass this bill last week as due to budget, the budget being passed and taking up most of our priority time. The City Council first adopted this moratorium in January 2019 and has renewed it twice. The current moratorium that is enacted expires on January eight, and so an extension requires 30 days to take effect, which is why it's before us today in an expedited manner. In adopting the original moratorium, Council expressed its intention to consider permanent regulations to preserve mobile home parks and laid out a work plan for doing so in collaboration with the Department of Construction and Inspection and the Office of Planning and Community Development. This plan is being worked on, and right now this legislation before us today would extend the moratorium for an additional six months to allow that work to be completed. As I've shared before, my office has been working closely with Councilmember Juarez, who has been taking a lead role in this effort over the last number of months. And she's been working on it for years. I've been working on this for the last year. We expect to co-sponsor together that permanent legislation that will adopt the permanent regulations in the first quarter of next year, which is why this final extension of the moratorium, the temporary moratorium, is important so that we can finalize those last details on a permanent fix. Our offices also and our offices are also in contact with residents and housing in Mobile Home Park, as well as relevant city departments informing how those final steps are taken. I want to thank Councilmember Juarez for her ongoing attention to resolving this issue in a meaningful way, not being a lawyer. It is very helpful to have a smart lawyer on the team and for her work making sure that it was on the Land Use and Neighborhoods Committee work plan as a top priority this year. Thank you. Council President Waters. Thank you, Kelly. Thank you. Councilmember Strauss, are there any additional comments on the bill? Hearing no additional comments on the bill.
