Recommendation to award a contract in the amount of 286,000 763, including contingency to parties. You see S.W. Design Group for the Outreach, Planning and Design Services for the Otis Truck Drive, Traffic Calming and Safety Improvements project. And we have a speaker, Joe Kaiser. If you'd like to come up and speak on this item. Thanks for letting me speak. I am a resident of Alameda. I live in Otis Drive and I'm just here to voice my support for this study moving forward. I just wanted to say a little bit about myself and some other community members living on or near Otis. Spend some time being trained by local Alameda PD on how to use radar guns, and we went out and spent a couple of weeks recording the speeds of various passers by on Otis. Didn't take long. 15, 20 minutes. We would record a dozen or so people going 40 plus miles an hour on occasion. 50 plus. And I think we even caught some people going 60 plus. One of the officers that trained us to use the radar guns told us that they had recently pulled someone over going 75 miles an hour. So I definitely am happy that the city is going to move forward with plans to make Otis safer, slower, more accessible for pedestrians, for people that have to cross to get to and from bus stops. There aren't necessarily any ways to cross Otis to get to some of the bus stops without having to run across four lanes of traffic of people doing 40, 50, 60 miles an hour. So thank you for moving forward with this. I hope that the council proceeds with the proposal. Thank you. Thank you. All right. We have a motion of approval. Second of all. I think as I read the matter, I. I. Hi there, Spencer. Yes, I have. Thank you. So that completes our consent items. Regular agenda items. Six a. Six a. Adoption resolution, appointing Cheryl Horowitz as a member of the Social Service. Human Relations move approval second.
