very much. And he is someone that needs a lot of prayers and love right now. So we just take a moment just to think about about our friend Val and his family at this time. Thank you. And please know, Val, that we are all thinking about you and praying for you and for your family as well. Please have a motion any second, please, to pass the consent calendar. Interesting that you up to speak that. Just wanted to just I don't want to pull the item, but we want to speak because some folks are paying attention to it. The item referred referencing the community garden in North Long Beach. I'm supportive of the item and I look forward to the opportunity to review the terms with the operator about expanding access to the local neighbors to be able to use that community garden. And so if you're listening and paying attention, that's not what we're voting on tonight. We're voting on the agreement with Edison, but we will have an opportunity to review the terms with the actual operator. Thank you. Thank you very much. There is a motion and a second. Please cast your votes. Motion is carried. Thank you. And I know we have a presentation tonight. We're actually beginning to roll presentations back into our meetings. And so for our first official presentation, back to Redding prior to COVID. I'm going to turn this over to Councilor Austin.
