Thank you for that, for the staff report. I think that it shows that the business is doing well. And I would like to thank the city of Long Beach, the Development Services, Health Department, Financial Management, Police and Fire for their diligent efforts in addressing the needs of both our residential and business stakeholders in this area. I do not think that I could have been more proactive with provided with a more thorough understanding of the situation at hand and of our options for moving forward. You have allowed me to somewhat tenuously ensure the quality of life for our community while remaining business friendly. Furthermore, I am encouraged by Mr. James Shepherd's willingness to operate under the specific recommendations of the City of Long Beach to address the concerns of the West Miami neighborhoods and who live near in the Sugar Cove area. I am hopeful that in adhering to these recommendations, the tailgate bar will not only operate as a conscientious community partner , but will have the tools to become one of the go to venues in the seventh District and the city of Long Beach. Last but not least, I would like to thank the West Miami Sugar Code residents for their continued advocacy on behalf of their community, and especially for patiently working alongside my council staff and city departments as we progress through this lengthy process. And with that, I'd like to make the motion to approve the berm. It has been in motion. And a second, is there any public comment on the item? CNN members, please cast your vote to be close to hearing. Motion carries nine zero. Thank you. I'm going to go ahead. And Mr. City Attorney, you wanted to make an announcement from earlier? Yes. About 6 hours ago in the closed session, we were reporting out from the closed session regarding the hearing on the item for the address of 53, 70/42 Street by a vote of the City Council of 9 to 0. The Council voted to reject the offer to purchase the property, thus concluding any real estate negotiations. Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay. So we are now going to go into our budget presentation or budget item and. I'm going to turn this over to. Mr. West. And obviously we're all mindful of what has to get done tonight still.
