Item to report from City Manager recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record. Conclude the hearing and adopt resolution. Continuing the Belmont Shore Parking and Business Improvement Area Assessment for period October 2014 through September 2015 and authorize City Manager to extend the agreement with the Belmont Shore Business Association for one year term District three. Okay. I'm going to turn this over now to the city manager. Mr. Mike Conway. Again, thank you, Mayor Garcia, members of city council. This is the annual approval of a Belmont Shore Parking and Business Improvement Area Annual Report and ongoing assessment. August 19, City Council approved the resolution granting approval assessment and setting today's date for the public hearing. There is a proposed reduction in the annual assessment rate for the insurance agents from $1,646 plus 1650 per employee down to $425.90 plus $22 per employee. But there are no significant changes to the proposed activities. Therefore, staff requests City Council receives supporting documentation of the record to approve the resolution, continue the letter of the assessment and authorize city management to extend the agreement for one additional year. I will take any public comment on this hearing item. I see no public comment on the hearing. I am going to turn this back over to the council, starting with Councilwoman Price. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Conway, for this item. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the great work that our Belmont Shore Business Association does for the community and specifically for the third District, specifically with the help of Jim Fisk, who's a member of our city staff, and Deedee Rossi, who's the executive director of the association . They host a series of events and community programs that really serve to bring the city together in the third district together. I want to commend them for their work and for their continued attempt to serve all the different and diverse interests of the business community. On Second Street, we've got retail, we've got restaurants, we've got bars, and their efforts to service all of those different businesses with their specific needs while also maintaining a balance for quality of life with the residents, is very much appreciated and I appreciate them taking another look at these assessments and lowering them where appropriate. Thank you. Thank you. Can I get a motion. To. Kick moved by Councilwoman Pryce, seconded by Councilmember Andrews? We've done public comment already over the paper. Please raise your hand. The unanimous as no opposition thinking motion carries. We're going to be moving on now. Both of the hearings have been taking place. We have public comment, four items not on the agenda tonight. So as a call your name, please line up. We have three members of the public speaking today. We begin with, I believe it's Jeanne Gallagher, then Jorge Robles and then Veronica Ramos.
