Item 16. Report from City Manager. Recommendation to adopt resolution to participate in a joint land use study with the United States Department of the Navy and provide up to 16,000 and in-kind services as the city's portion of the cost share agreement citywide. There's been a motion and a second. Is there any public comment on the item? Yes, sir. Very good. You. I have not had an opportunity to check the staff report. What type? What areas are we talking about? What coastline are we talking about? Well, as you know, you know, you don't get to ask questions of staff. So what I will do, though, be security just because I'm in a good mood. Mr. West, do you want to just do a you can take a seat and I'll call you back up for the rest of your. Sir Diana Tang will give a quick report. Mayor, members of the city council, the Joint Land Use Study is a partnership. With the Department of. Defense. It's a cooperative planning effort, actually, between. The military installations. So in our case, Naval Weapons Station, SEAL Beach on the Pacific coastline by Long Beach and. SEAL Beach, California, and the surrounding community. And it's designed to promote community growth and development that is compatible with an installation's training and operational missions. And we do these types of joint land use studies often. So it's a it's pretty routine for us. Okay. Please continue your public comment. I still have a. Sometimes I just continue to get clarification. So we are not talking about any actual coastline. Within the jurisdiction of the city of Long Beach at this time, is that correct? Well. Mr. SINGH. Sure, Mr. Mayor. The city's interest in the study is actually related to the explosives in Grange on the east end of the Long Beach breakwater. And we're hoping that through the Joint Land Use. Study, we'll be able to obtain some information that may be able to supplement our East San Pedro Bay ecosystem restoration study. And so the study is mainly focused on naval weapons station SEAL Beach, which is primarily in. The city of SEAL Beach, in the county of Orange. But we are interested in explosives in large piece. Of it, which is. Off the Long Beach coastline, but not on the Long Beach coastline. Seaward landward of the sea, seaward or landward. That's it. That's it. No more questions. Finish your. Public comment and. Continue. I want to make sure that we're not. Doing anything yet with great water, which eventually we will. I'm very concerned about doing anything that might. Engender the need for mitigation someplace else. You can't step. Any place. Can't do anything in the coastline. Without it having a impact someplace else within our coastline. And I want to know where that is. If we don't know, say something. Just say we haven't the faintest idea what we're doing. But what you need to understand and what so many people fail to understand if you move a square foot of terra firma on the sea floor over here, it impacts it over there. You disturb and ruin. Marine habitat. And then you have to replace that at a 2 to 1 ratio someplace else. So I want to make sure that when you're walking down and you're tearing up or it looks boring and decide we're going to build something here. What's the impact at the other end of the pike, as it were, or the other end of the break? We're. Please consider that we can't afford more buffoonery. Thank you. Please cast your votes. Ocean carries seven zero. Thank you and excited.
