All right. Thank you. Thank you. I am 21. Report from Long Beach Airport Recommendation to Award a contract to A.B. Corporation for Planning and Engineering Consulting Services for the Airfield Geometry Study Phase two at the Long Beach Airport in an amount not to exceed $873,000 District five. Through Staff Report. Yes, Mr. Brian Francis can give a staff report. Good evening, Vice Mayor Lowenthal, members of City Council. Before you this evening is the request to approve the airport to enter into a contract with H. A.B. Corporation for Planning and Engineering Consulting Services for Phase two of the Airfield Geometry Study at Long Beach Airport. In December 2014, Council authorized the city manager to apply for FAA grant funds to continue with the Airfield Geometry Study Phase two, which will develop a new airport layout plan or alpi and association associated official maps and documents required to maintain the Long Beach Airport's critical operating functions. Grant funding was awarded by the FAA at the end of fiscal year 2015. The new ALPI, which is expected to be completed within 12 months, does not involve any physical expansion of the airport. The work will result in official airport planning documents to include the recommendations provided in the preferred alternative three A of the airport geometry study , an airport strategic plan which the City Council approved on December 2nd, 2014. This includes the decommissioning of two parallel runways, the shortening of a runway in length and width, and the creation of multiple new taxiways, all in an effort to enhance the efficiency of the airfield. The primary funding source for this contract expense will utilize an FAA airport improvement program grant. The balance will be covered through airport operating funds and passenger facility charges. And that completes my report. Thank you. Councilmember Austin. Actually, I'm sorry. Let me go to the maker of the motion comes Mungo. I think that the airport director did an excellent job of communicating phase two of the plan to ensure that the airport and the restructuring of these runways provides for additional economic development opportunities on the exterior edges of the airport. Once this is completed. Thank you, Councilman Andrews. You're okay. Thank you, Councilman Austin. Yes, thank you, Mr. Francis. I just wanted some clarification on the actual runways that are going to be studied for for the benefit for those for obviously the council, but those watching at home. Yes, sir. Councilman Austin, the two runways which will be decommissioned are our north south runways, which have not been in use for several years. And the remaining runways will be our seven left to five right parallel runways, as well as the primary runway one, two, three zero. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Thank you.
