Motion carries. Thank you. And excited, please. 14 Item 14 is a report from Parks, Recreation and Marine. Recommendation to adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to submit a grant application to the California Natural Resources Agency for the 51st Street Greenbelt Project. If awarded an amount up to 2 million for completion of the project District eight. Kathryn Austin Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And this is an exciting opportunity for residents in a district in a neighborhood that has been long overlooked. I'd like to thank, first of all, Parks and Rec staff, especially Mayor Meredith Reynolds, for their work on this grant and concept. And on April 21st, we had a awesome Earth Day event at the 51st Street greenbelt, where we had a great turnout of neighbors who gave us input on a conceptual plan. This grant will activate a space that will further transform the green gateway that is taking place along the Los Angeles River, extending from the Dominguez Gap wetlands to Molina Park to the forest wetlands, and now the 51st Street greenbelt. This is a great space for residents of all ages to enjoy, and I ask for my colleagues to support this. This is going to be an awesome, awesome addition to your town. Thank you, Vice Mayor Richardson. All good things. Any public comment? See. Now, please cast your votes.
