Communication from city attorney recommendation declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code relating to COVID 19 paid a supplemental sick leave, declaring the urgency thereof to make the ordinance effective immediately and read the first time and later to the next regular meeting of the City Council for Final Reading Citywide. Gave a motion by Councilmember Richardson and a second by Councilman Ranga. Looks like Councilman Richardson to have a comment. You have just one quickly. I want to move to adopt this. There is one word that needs to be updated. The city manager, the city attorney's updated on section e general generous leave. This was the part that was amended. It was updated to bring back. It reads, If an employer has paid, has a paid leave or paid time off policy that provides a minimum of 160 hours of paid leave annually, the employer exempt from any obligation to pay to provide paid sick leave pursuant to this chapter for the employee that receives the more generous paid leave . The one change is where it says to this chapter for the employee she needs to say for to this chapter for any employee that received a more generous paid leave. So the city attorney has a one change and that's okay. And that's that's obviously substance. That's not substantive. It just keeps the. Yes, though, this will require two votes. Mayor, one on the urgency and then one on the ordinance itself. And you are correct, it will remain it keeps it as first reading tonight. Okay. So let's take the first vote, madam. District one.
