I think they were best managers. Yes. Thank you very much for me for. Actually, if we can. Mr. Kyser, can you turn the mic off up there? Thank you. Yes. Before we move forward, I would like to say that I would like to appreciate my colleagues reporting on this item, because I would been working with, especially in this office and putting these together is going to be a great one.

So if you're able, please try to get there Saturday. And that's some two out of four. Thank you. There's there's emotion and a second is a public comment on this item. I just want to support my councilman, Mr. De Andrews, and the allocation of funds. I'm going to be a little biased here. I am going to be participating in the celebration here. This is a great celebration supporting Juneteenth, which is the official end of slavery in the continental United States. I'm proud of the city of Long Beach for participating in the City Managers Group, City Managers Department for allocating resources. Part of the City of Long Beach for participating in the celebration of the defeat of the traitorous Confederate States of America and the the landing of General Gordon Granger and Galveston Island. This is a story that needs to be told. You know, believe it or not, while the traitor, General Robert E Lee, surrendered his forces, we formerly had an elementary school named after him, but when he surrendered his forces in April 5th. Believe it or not, there are multiple parts of the country that didn't have Twitter or Instagram then, but there are multiple parts of the country that continue to participate in this slavery of African-Americans. And so Juneteenth is a celebration of it's founded by a lot of our Texas brethren, much like our our councilman here, who when they they moved to the West Coast, they let the rest of us know that, you know, the man's emancipation came a little bit later. So Juneteenth is an important it's a it's a it's honor to to live in a city that supports it and celebrates it. And thank you for your time. And I hope to see you guys out on Saturday. Thank you. And now, real quickly, I'd like to know I wonder why I'm using him as my DJ for that event. Thank you very much. Okay, thank you. There's the motion in a second scene to the public comment.
