Districts one, two, four and five. So moved. Back in. Case there's been a motion and a second by summer. Langford You wanna make some comments first? I do. I wanted to compliment the CDB. I know that Steve Goodling is out of town for work back East, but I do want to thank them for their tremendous work in keeping Long Beach at the forefront of the convention industry. And that's actually what he's doing back East right now. As we all know, conferences are a critical part of the downtown's economy, and I wholeheartedly support this item. Thank you. And Mr. West, did you have any any comments on this item? None. Although, Mike, can we start to ask answer any questions, if you might have any. Okay. I'm sorry if I submitted you with your motion on that. Okay. And the motion in a second on on that item, is there any public comment on the hearing? See, none of them, Gordon, come back and close the hearing and see no additional councilmember comments. Members, please go ahead and cast your votes. Councilman Andrews. Motion carries seven zero. Okay. We're going to go on to the second hearing. And this does not require an oath either. Madam Clerk.
