Item 28, please. Communication from City Attorney Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code regarding city council meetings. Read the first time and lead over to the next regular meeting of the City Council for Final Reading Citywide. There's a motion and there there's a motion and a second on this. Mr. Goodhew, do you want to comment on this? 28 Nope. Is that not sea and control here or carelessly and as Christians? No one else is here. Mr. City. Attorney. Mayor. Thank you. This is the streamlining ordinance. Kind of ironic. We're bringing it back this evening. So just to walk real quickly through it. You'll note that we one of the major items as we change, we move the consent calendar to right after the Pledge of Allegiance and then ceremonial and presentations follow the consent calendar. If an item is pulled from the consent calendar, it would become the first item of your regular agenda and the next would be on the supplemental agenda and would require a statement of urgency from the Council office that putting it on the agenda. And if the Council as a body doesn't determine that there's an urgency, it would be laid over. To a subsequent meeting. And then the other, as we've been starting the process in the new civic center, the it does require the person to sign up. And then we also have included in here is the limits of debate by the city council with unlimited number of recues, but at 5 minutes time for duration. And once this ordinance goes. Into effect, it would be applicable to the conduct during hearings. So during the any of your hearings, during your. Council meetings, the five minute rule would apply to the. Discussion at council with unlimited. Recues. And then. We're available to answer any questions if you. Have on this audience. Thank you. Thank you. There's a motion and a second. Please cast your votes. Motion carries.
