Item two is a report from the city attorney with the recommendation to authorize the settlement of two lawsuits entitled Amoco Insurance Company versus the City of Long Beach in Battle versus the City of Long Beach. Mr. Johnson. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I mean, I had a question for Mr. Parkin. Mr. PARKIN, my understanding is some police officers sued the city. Some did not see the city, and some continue to suit did not settle. And my understanding is this this settlement basically provides that all those people be treated equally and get the same number of vacation hours. Is that generally accurate? That is correct. There was a class action in which these nine individuals opted out of the class action that settled back in 2010, and that the result of this settlement tonight, if approved, would give them the exact same benefits that were the result of the class action. Right. But I mean, it's I think it's also important to note that even those who did not were not part of the class action. They also received the same amount of hours. Is that correct? The yes, that is correct. For all officers that receive that with the exception of command staff. Correct. All right. With that, I'll go ahead and make the motion to approve it. Just to clarify, that is. Item number two. Yes. Okay. Members, cast your vote tonight. And member to O'Donnell Z. Yes. Motion carry six votes. Yes. Six votes. Yes, I remember two passes, four under. What was the other item? I heard six. Item four. Item four. I did hear the vice member state six. But as I remember four item number four. Report from the secretary with a recommendation to adopt a resolution in support of the equitable and timely resolution of the contract dispute between community hospital and the registered nurses.
