Thank you. We're going to hear the two items from consent that were pulled. Starting with item 3031, please. Report from Health and Human Services recommendation to execute all necessary documents with the Board of State and Community Corrections to accept and expend grant funding for the Long Beach Act. Activating Safe Communities Program in the Washington Neighborhood District one. Councilman's and Day House. You, Mayor. I know that we have a lot on the calendar tonight, and I would love to pull this off as a consent calendar and say it was incredibly important and worthy of being highlighted for the community members. Turning tuning in to today's meeting, something that has been incredibly important. If you're ever since I took office, has become even more critical over the last few months. And that has been our violence. Violent crimes in central and west Long Beach. That's been mostly impacting my Washington neighborhood. This is why this is one of my top priorities. And I think that it's critical for our residents to know that we are prioritizing their safety and well-being in our communities where it's most needed. I'm excited for the impact that these resources are going to have in addressing the issues that my residents bring to me each day. And I'm so grateful to the staff that have worked and secured this front on behalf of the Washington residents. Thank you very much. Thank you. Can I get a second on the motion, please? Have a second backcountry ranger. I don't see any public comment on item 31. So called up. District one. I. District two. I. District three. I. District four. All right. District five. I. District six. And in District seven. By District eight. Hi. District nine. All right. Motion carries.
