Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from Long Beach Unified School District, the owner of the property located at 4840 Lemon Avenue, for the installation of public utilities; and accept Long Beach Unified School District’s Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for a new early childhood learning center at Barton Elementary School.  (District 8)
Motion carries. Okay. Councilmember. Can we please. Actually. Madam Secretary, why don't we read the item first? Item ten is a report from Public Works recommendation to authorize city manager to accept an easement deed from Lomita Unified School District. The owner of property located at 4840 Lemmon Avenue for the installation of public utilities and except Long Beach Unified School District's initial study and mitigated negative declarations for a newly early childhood learning center at Barton Elementary School. District eight. Councilmember. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, and thank you, counsel, for the reconsideration. I'd like to move that we continue this item. I had some questions about the project's initial study and mitigated negative declaration that I've discussed with the public work staff, and they've indicated that they'd like some time to look at it. And so the given the matter given that the matter is not time critical, I'd like to hold this over until we can get some more information. I'll just say I'm generally very supportive of the the project. It's a great project for early childhood. Education is going to be one that will bring a lot of focus on our city and particularly in the eighth District, and do a lot of good things, more importantly for for working families in the community. But there are some some concerns with the traffic impacts in and I just have some questions for public works to look into a little bit further. And so I'd like some time to study that issue. Okay. So Helder, for the next meeting of the city council, which would be February six, is the final few weeks. I would defer to the director of Public Works. Mr. BECK. Yes, Mayor. Members of the Council. I think that should be sufficient. We have started to review what was prepared by the school district, and we believe we'll have some information to share with the council by that time. If not, we'll continue that that continue the item again. Okay, sounds good. Then there's a motion in a second on the floor. Please cast your votes back. February six. Note in case. Think you can count has been approved. Is Brian Matheson here? Please come forward, sir.
