(Citywide)
Vice Mayor Lowenthal. Yes. Motion carries. Yeah. Adam 11. Report from Economic and property development. Recommendation to execute contracts with various One-Stop Career Center service providers for a total amount not to exceed 2.5 million citywide. Councilmember Richardson or Councilmember your younger. No, thank you. SUNY staff report on this item. Excuse me, we can have a quick report from the executive director, Nick Schulz. And it's important to note that the three items are going through tonight, through Nick and his. Team's work is realizing $7 million to the city. So, Madam Vice Mayor, Mayors, the city council. Very quickly, as opposed to the previous item, this item is actually a discretionary award through H1-B money to the Pacific Gateway Workforce Investment Network from the Department of Labor. This is money directly for training to eligible individuals for open positions. Based on my forecast in the health care sector, you will see in the training institutions on on page two, who will be the actual providers for those residents to assist in those training and the primary areas of instructions or occupations that the folks will be able to fill. Those have all been determined to be in demand in the local labor market area. Thank you, Mr. Schultz. Councilwoman Mongeau. I just wanted to comment on how remarkable a job you've done on this. I think that it's. A new day in Long Beach for Rio. And I'm really thankful that you're at the helm. So thank you for the work you've done. This money means a lot to the community in terms of what good it can do. And so I know there's even more on the horizon, and I look forward to the things ahead. So thank you. It's. It's. This money is life changing money for many people who don't have work right now. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Councilwoman, is there any member of the public that wish to address Council on item 11? None. Members cast your vote. Motion carries. Thank you. Item 12 Report from Economic and Property Development.
