That concludes the funds transfers and there's no public comment on these items. Thank you. I do have a comment by Councilman Mongo. Thank you. Specifically, my agenda item related to an opportunity to do a concert in the park on a Friday at La Cerritos Park is part of a continued effort to build up and better, better understand the demographics and volume of attendance that we could receive if we move the municipal band to Fridays. And so in a partnership with the Low Cerritos Neighborhood Association, we're putting forward these funds to explore what a Friday night concert would look like versus the typical Wednesdays, and to see if that has a better following so that if that is the case, we would be able to potentially bring in additional funding for the municipal band on a long term basis. This has been a priority of understanding how to best fund and maintain the municipal band into eternity. And to be able to do that, we have to take some risks. And so I appreciate the listeners Neighborhood Association for joining me in this great opportunity. Thank you. Thank you, Councilwoman Sara. Thank you. I wanted to speak on the Long Beach for Saturday. This is the first time we're doing it in Long Beach. And this is a sacred day to Buddhists, millions of Buddhists all over the world. And we'll be doing it here on the terrace on May 15 to bring together all of the Buddhists in the city of Long Beach, to honor the day, to commemorate the birth of Buddha and birth enlightenment, death and his passing into Nirvana. And this has been recognized by the United Nations as an important day. Thank you very much. Thank you. Councilmember Austin. Thank you. I've also have a transfer item up. To celebrate or to help us celebrate the Juneteenth celebration. As many of you know, last year I brought forward the resolution that was unanimously passed by the council to identify, celebrate Juneteenth as a day of celebration in the city of Long Beach. I had the opportunity of working with Connie Olden, who was no longer with us, and John Malvo and many folks in the central area. When we first started the Juneteenth celebration here in the city of Long Beach, Juneteenth celebration and MLK celebration were always the vision was always to to grow that celebration and to expand to two areas where the entire city could enjoy. And so the downtown this year, the Juneteenth celebration is going to be at Rainbow Lagoon that I think fulfills a dream and a vision of many years ago. And I expect that to be a great celebration. So thank you very, very much and ask for your approval. Thank you. There's no other comment on these items. And so we will I believe there was no public comment. And so we will go ahead and cast her votes. Motion is carried.
