Item ten is a report from Parks and Recreation Marine Public Works recommendation to authorize City Manager to accept a donation of 7300 from the Promenade Area Residents Association. A donation of $5,000 from the Molina Family Trust. A donation of $10,000 from the downtown Long Beach Association, and grant funding of $20,000 from the L.A. County supervisor, Don Canady . Three six for. District two, I think. Vice Mayor Lowenthal. Oh. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I wanted to thank you for pulling this item from consent. It is something that is very important to the community, and those two little guys in the audience can't wait to use it. So they are here to personally testify that this is a good thing. I do want to thank the Molina family for their contribution, their donation, the debate for their donation, as well as Supervisor Tanabe. The mayor and I made a very significant allocation of funding so that this park will come to fruition. And I'm very happy that we were able to do that. And I look forward to the groundbreaking and seeing it fully realized. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any public comment on item number ten? Okay. Great. Obviously no public comment on ten. Then I want to congratulate the community. This wouldn't happen without you guys. So thank you very much for all your hard work. Let's give them a round of applause. And members, please go ahead. Actually, Councilman Gonzales, did you have any comments? I just wanted to congratulate everybody involved. I know we don't have many playgrounds in the downtown area, so for this to finally come around is is really great. So thank you all for your hard work. I actually think it's going to be the the first playground probably in the kind of downtown core which is really needed. So good job. Please cast your votes. Members. Did you want public comment? I called you. Yeah. Wishing Karis. Okay. Thank you and congratulations. Okay. Now, believe it or not, because it's one of those nights on the agenda, we actually have a couple of hearings. And so let's go on to. The first hearing. And initially I was told by staff that the first hearing was going to be 30 minutes long.
