Item 12 Communication from Councilwoman, Mango, Chair, Economic Development and Finance Committee Recommendation to refer the Economic Development Commission. The issue of marketing the open counter software. Councilwoman Mongo. Yes. I am so thankful to the work that our city staff have done to make business easier in Long Beach for those of you who had not seen the presentation. Are we doing a self-report on this? Are we riding on the coattails of the Enough Staff report? Before I say what's in it? We're ready to self-report. We don't need. Okay. I don't know that we need a staff report. I don't see the nods of the council that we do. I think many of us are pretty informed on what this program is. And at the end of the day, what I think we all know it is, is a tool to make it easier for businesses to find locations and locate in Long Beach and to go through the process knowing and understanding the costs ahead of them, the timeline ahead of them, and what they can expect when they do business. With Long Beach, we are making great strides to move towards being a more business friendly city, and I know that this is going to be a huge step in the right direction. So thank you to staff and all the work you've done and the presentations are on line from the EDF committee, and I hope that my colleagues will be supportive. Thank you. Councilmember Richardson, to your second. Yeah. Was a call for the question. Okay. Actually, I wouldn't have one council call me. Let me just get. Okay. See, no public comment on this.
