Was okay because I did it by voice and so we're okay. Mr.. I think. City Attorney. Motion to continue. So we're good. So now we have an item on the item for I believe, which is the recommendation to approve the transfer of that that we're doing. Madam Clerk one I'll let you read it, since I'm not the clerk. Communication from Councilmember Richardson. Recommendation to approve the transfer of the main Council District's fiscal year 2016. One time infrastructure funds in the amount of $45,000 to the Uptown Property and Business Improvement District. Thank you, Councilor Richardson. Thanks, Mr. Mayor. I just want to just note that this action, you know, great progress happening in the the business district, but as a part of projects that progress, sometimes there's growing pains and our bid will have to move out of a city owned facility. And I want to make sure that we help to help with the transition and maintain a focus on the programs that they're really gaining momentum for. So I'm ponying up some of our ninth District infrastructure funds to help support this effort, and I encourage my colleagues to support it. Thank you. Thank you. There's a motion and a second count summary. Ranga actually can summarize and speak to the second, please. Yeah, I'm just going to speak in support of the motion. And I'm sure since those ninth District infrastructure dollars are going toward this move, that the new bid office will be in the ninth District. Okay. Councilman, your. Anger just gets a point of order. I mean, I didn't we approved the consent calendar earlier, but we did not pull the same amount. So we voted on it twice. I don't think this item on the agenda was moved. It was. Just it is moved to. The regular agenda item I have it under. Could sit on my desk. Okay. Okay. Great. Any public comment on this item? Ryan Smoller. You know, I'll. Make this rare. Um. Oh, my phone rotated. Thank you, city council for hearing this item tonight. My name is Ryan Smaller, and I am the creative consultant and interim executive director for the Uptown Property and Community Association. Our organization is a property based improvement district in North Long Beach, and we're very excited about the economic development proposal before you tonight. The establishment of a vibrant business corridor in North Long Beach that connects the creative energy of businesses, residents and our community partners is a cornerstone of Councilmember Rex Richardson's Uptown Renaissance plan, and tonight's appropriation secures uptown with critical assets. We need to accomplish our mission and expand our partnerships. Thank you for your consideration. I'm very excited and passionate about where Uptown is headed, and I appreciate you for helping us get there. Thank you. See no other public comment. Please cast your votes. Price. Price. Motion carries. Thank you. And considering we just finished our hearings, I didn't realize that we still had four members of public comment that was going to go right after the hearings. And so they're still here because we did the rest of them early on. Is Francis Emily Dawson Harris still here? She. She spoke already. Navara Soto. Mr. Good, who is here. So Mr. Good to come forward. We'll be very brief. On the last night in the. Although it was on the agenda there. Let me contribute. I found something in the floor for the ninth district. Is an additional dime. You can put in a phone. Somebody left it there. Just two points or one point I want to. I'm very serious when I say and you'll get the you'll be served with a notice relative to that in. Probably the third week in January, you'll have an invitation to sit down with with the feds. At the end result is, I think by by March 15th, the city will be facing a situation where it will need a new chief executive officer. I. And as well as the state of California will need two other high ranking officials. The details of that will be coming forward. As I think you might appreciate, the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI have a considerable amount on their hands now. But I think they've recognized that the the dangers of leaving, having uncut, unchecked corruption is something that just cannot be allowed to continue. So that will be addressed. Thank you. Thank you. Next up is Elizabeth Wise. She's here. Okay. CNN Then let me go back. Madam Court to the agenda, please. Regular agenda.
