Okay. Then let's go to item 17. Report from Financial Management Recommendation to execute an agreement with the South Coast Air Quality Management District for grant funding under the Carl Moyer program in an amount not to exceed $1,145,003 citywide. Kevin motioned by Councilmember Pearce and a second by customary Ranga members. Please cast your vote. In District one. Hi, District two. Oh, I'm sorry. There's public comment on this item. Sorry about that. I don't approve economy sheet, so let's go ahead and do public comment, please. Jordan during your time starts now. Hello, Mayor and City Council. My name is Jordan. Shame on you. Your behavior is beyond unacceptable. Not only is the institution of policing fundamentally racist, but our BPD is a prime example. In addition, our police department honors and rewards officers involved in wrongful death and excessive force cases. Public records demonstrate that BPD showers, high pay, promotions and awards on its most violent and aggressive members. And in May, Long Beach City attorney Charles Parkin reported that the city has spent more than $31 million since 2014 to settle 61 excessive force and wrongful death claim lawsuits. Reimagining safety is about upending the imbalance of power and holding accountable those officers who act violently with impunity. This is all covered in the recent fourth article about the amount of money that is given out every year or over the past several years in these settlements. I have to ask, what do you expect to change if you're still giving this department a slush fund to cover all their murders? Why would they ever stop killing people if it's all covered and you get promoted if you kill or hurt someone? How does that disincentivize officers from reproducing this harm? Defund the police and take a bold stand against police violence, divest from BPD and invest differently in our community. Health and safety. Thank you. That concludes public comment for this item. Again, it's want to make sure for future public comment. And Madam Clerk, also, we have to make sure that public item on the public comment is to the item specific we please. So I just want to make sure that we're keeping that and that we are sticking to that rule as well.
