District five. I. District six. I strict seven. By District eight. By District nine, a motion carries. Thank you. Could we please have item 42 would you please with item club. Report from Technology and Innovation Recommendation to amend contract with Utility Solutions Partners or manage services to provide maintenance and integration support related to the city's utility systems to increase the annual contract amount by 425,000 citywide. Motion and. Commitment. Then further comment those. There's no public comment. Right. Have any. And then counsel come in on this side of. Mr. Andrews, this is Councilman Mungo. Yes, go ahead, please. Is there a staff report? I know this is based on the utility bill integration, but I was hoping that we were being forward thinking and it integrates with our one carbon plan and or our Go Long Beach app so that residents could have one place to go for their utility bills or a library card, their metro pass there. Annual passes to Eldorado Park. There, there. Golf resident card. I'm just looking for some integration input before we vote on this item. All right. Anyone? Yes. So we have Kasim Lee from Tech and Innovation who can try to answer some of those questions. Hello, everybody. An honorable mayor and members of the city council. I'll try to answer a question about the one card. As you know, there is a one card study going on. And and this certainly would be an opportunity to to to integrate integrate that. This particular item before you is the annual maintenance renewal of the existing system, which supports our utility system, our customer care billing system, our mobile workforce management. These systems are responsible for a the collection process of $200 million of revenue annually. So this is the year one of our extension of our existing agreement that was awarded in 2017. And in two years time, this program will be under will be renewed again and not necessarily new, but go out for award again. And so and so somewhere during this time frame, there might be opportunities to integrate that. One thing that is very important about this particular program is that in this coming year, there is a requirement that we upgrade our Oracle customer care and billing software. And and so this proposal in front of you includes the the effort to do that upgrade with the support of all the utilities. So this is a upgrade of the current system and maintenance of the current system without any add ons that move us towards one portal 24 seven City Hall that we've been. Desiring her four years. I would say that any if this system has a role in the one card program, this particular upgrade will be a prerequisite step towards towards that because the software currently on is is up to up to the end of its natural lifecycle. Okay. Thank you. I'll support the study. Okay. I'm going on this item. If not, we have a motion. Grab motion. But I'm a price. Secured by. Thank you. But what? District one, district three. I.
