Let me go ahead and let me go ahead and go to Adam's 2620 728. Item 26 Report from Financial Management Recommendation to Declare Ordinance relating to Departmental Organization of the City of Long Beach Red and Adopted as Red. Okay. I have a motion and a second, please. Medium version in a second on these budget items please Councilmember Austin and second by Councilmember Pearce. I don't think have to have any public comment on 26. Yes. Our first speaker is Dave Shukla. Hello. Dave Chappelle. Just very briefly, I'm looking forward to seeing how this point in the budget process evolves next year and every two year increments through 2030. And how we manage as a city, what happens after the Olympics and really looking at the Century Foundation as kind of a guide to doing it right the first time yet . Thank you very much. Thank you. Our next speaker is carelessly you. Look. Hi, this is Corliss Lee. And looking at the budget where we're planning on furloughs, layoffs and salary cuts for frontline city employees to balance the budget. I'm having a hard time reconciling some of the other moves that are made. We are in an era of tightening our belts. Budget shortfalls are expected. What was the criteria by which budgeting decisions were made? I have to question that $85 million swimming pool is essential. Santa monica built a pool on the beach for 30 million. Who benefits from this? The trees. Along Willow and Eldorado Park. Are already turning orange. Is that a reduction in watering? Are we giving up watering the. Parks. While at the same time taking a $1.5 million soccer field that was planned surreptitiously became a $2.3 million soccer field. Are we planning on replacing it with a new potable watering system? What are the benefits? Who benefits? Is it. Necessary? Then I look at raises. Raises for the city auditor who's already in the 200 K Club. Does that make sense when you're laying people off? Raise this for city council. And then hiding that fact from the public. This is the year you should have frozen salary. I really can't understand your budgeting process. Thank you. Thank you. That concludes public comment for this item. Roll call vote, please. District one, i. District two. District three, i. District four. All right. District five. District five, just. District six. District seven. I. District eight. District eight. I. District nine. Hi. Ocean carries.
