Recommendation to receive Charter Commission appointments and reappointments pursuant to Section 509 of the City Charter and Section 2.03.065 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.
Adam, 12, is communication from the Office of Mayor Bob Foster with the recommendation to receive the Charter Commission appointment and reappointment pursuant to Section 509 of the City Charter and Section 2.6 moved 3/2. Moved there by way of explanation. The Police Citizen's Police Complaint Commission has one new appointee and three reappoint these and they have an awful big workload. That's why I'm doing this. A little out of order. It does require two votes. The first is to move the appointments to the council from the Civil Service Committee. I think that's correct. Mr. part. You want to describe this. Mayor. Thank you. The pursuant to the language municipal code, these appointments need to be reviewed prior to placing on the council agenda by the Personnel and Civil Service Committee. That action did not happen, and the Council has the authority to waive at its discretion that requirement. So the first motion would be to waive the requirement to present it to the personnel in civil service. So moved, moving, seconded and any member of the public to address council on that motion. Seeing the members cast your votes on that motion. Motion carries eight votes. And secondly, we would we would vote on the nominees. The way I'm buying them is here. And she's the nominee to fill the about one year left on the term at the Harbor Commission. And then there was a big baby with the first district representative. Mr. Garcia, you might want to say something about. And then three re appointees, Raul of Norway, Brian Ryder and Emmanuel Walker from the second an at large and ninth district, respectively. So. Mr. DELONG Yeah, I just want to make a comment that I'm extremely supportive of all your nominations, but in particular, Lou Ann Bynum. I've known her for a decade, and she's going to be an outstanding addition to the Harbor Commission. So thank you in advance for your service. Lujan. Thank you, Mr.. Whoever you are, Mr. Neal. And a brain cramp there for a moment. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And I concur with my colleague, Mr. DeLong. I'm in complete concurrence, but I would like to acknowledge Mr. Manuel Walker, who has been a tremendous leader, and Nawaf Lone, beaten in the ninth District and commend him for his exemplary service to your community. Thank you so much, my friend. Mr. Garcia. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. First, I'm going to start off with congratulating and welcoming Terry. Terry has been a fantastic advocate in the Long Beach area, particularly in Wilmore and the historic area. So we look forward to having you on board and thank you for your for your service and for serving the city of Long Beach. I also want to add my my remarks also to Luann. I think, Luann, you and I have known each other for probably 15, 20 years or so. And it's been a pleasure to work with you at Lombard City College as colleagues and as as friends as well. And so I welcome you to the the Port of Parma commissioners. You could do a fantastic job. The mayor made a good choice. And so good luck because a lot of work to do. Mr. Johnson. Well, thank you, Mayor. And I want to thank all the nominees for your service. You know, we've said it before, but really couldn't do the work of the city without people like you willing to step up and volunteer. So I want to thank you in advance. I would like to. Mayor, if it were okay, just maybe invite Ms.. Bynum up to say a few words. And I just had a one question I want to answer. Yeah. I think one thing we've done very well over the city or at the port last few years is reach out to the community, particularly the west side. And I just wanted to hear from his Bynum. I know you've had already done a lot outreach at Lumbee City College, but your thoughts on how because the port is so tremendously important from economic development perspective, but also because of the effects, the negative effects on the West Side, what your thoughts are in terms of reaching out to that community and and having kind of a sustained dialog over the next few years. Thank you. First of all, I want to thank Mayor Foster and all of you for this consideration. I consider an honor. I think it's an awesome responsibility to be involved with the harbor and be a harbor commissioner. But your question is, is right on the harbor and the port is a major economic engine in this community, and there's a lot of jobs tied to it. It's jobs creation. It's job retention. I think our future in terms of where jobs are going is tied as well to the port and advanced transportation. But having said that, the port is also doesn't operate in a vacuum. It operates with the city of Long Beach, and it's tied to the residents in our community. And I applaud the work that the port and the commissioners have done in the past to take leadership to mitigate the environmental concerns that our our citizens have to deal with. And I would anticipate I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive. I think they can be done together and I think they can be done. Both of them, you know, to make sure the port's competitive at the same time ensure that our citizens have clean, healthy environment and are able to to coexist well with the port and the means for both of them. I want to thank you for for the answer and very excited to see your service. And I would invite you to know when you have a chance to sit down some of the West Siders and I can help facilitate that. And I think we've done some great things in the past. The West Side plan is one thing you may have heard about that I think really creates the conditions for a win win, that the poor can grow and succeed in the neighborhoods and get better at the same time. Just like you talked, I don't think we need to have a zero sum game. So thank you for being who was willing to serve and I look forward to working with you in the coming years. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Mr. Neal. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And I would also like to I don't see Mr. Northey in the audience, but I would like to publicly commend him as well. But prior to him moving into District two. He was a vital asset in District nine, serving on the Human Rights Commission. And I would like to acknowledge his service to the city as well. Thank you for doing that, Mr. Neal. He is all over the place and he's a he's a great citizen to have in this city. He's always willing to help. And I'm glad to bring that because I have all the nominees stand up, please. If you're here, I. I want to publicly thank you for your willingness to serve me. A lot of people don't realize this. It is time consuming and a lot of energy to serve on commissions. These two in particular take a lot of time. And I want to thank you for being civically responsible, willing to give your time for the betterment of the community that we could not do this without you. So thank you very much in advance for your service. Appreciate. We have a motion and a second. Any comment on this? This motion? My members cast your votes on the nominees. It's. And this motion is to appoint the nominees. That is. Correct. We already dealt with this as the appointment. Motion carries eight votes. Thank. Thank you, members. Congratulations to you all and thank you again for your service. Item 20 clerical read.
