This is the sort of a Disney ification of of of reality. I remember somebody saying, I don't need to go to Paris because I went to Las Vegas and I saw the Eiffel Tower. But it's a very sanitized version of of reality. If this developer wants shorter, cuter, younger insects getting through trees, you know, I respect those old trees. And they are and the young ones will not be able to provide nesting sites for many, many years. So if we can get any support, you've all been, you know, sent some information and encourage our city planning department. We do want to thank the city of Public Works for putting us on the agenda. We hope we'll get some letters of support from the council when we are on the agenda in July to try to save these trees. And we do, you know, support with reservations, not unconditional support. I would say we hope that the issue questioning round up will continue to be an issue in the city and that we will stop using Roundup in our parks and in our wetlands. And, you know, we had a lot of young people out there. It was a really they made up a lot of beautiful songs. And we realized it's kind of fun to be a bird. It's more fun to be a bird like it. It's more fun to be a person, though, when you have a home, you know? Thank you. Well, thank you for your testimony. Members, please cast your vote on the consent calendar. And I'm a yes. Motion carries. Thank you. So I know that number 1617, we have been requested to continue. So let's just pull them up so we can make the motion to do that. Please read. I'm 16, please. Communication from Councilmember Pierce. Councilwoman Gonzales recommendation to direct City Manager to work with public works and report back in 60 days on current outreach efforts through the Clean Long Beach Initiative and request staff to implement a pilot DeKalb program applying informational decals on locked bins within the East Village.
