Councilmember Wirth. Thank you. As you know, Mayor Nation is a fantastic local business that has been growing since 2009. Owners Camila and Ross dreamed up a delicious fusion of Hawaiian and Korean cuisine. Very nation, started with a mobile food truck and now they have four locations. In 2013, Muir Nation entered into a concession agreement with the Department of Parks and Recreation to lease the Seacrest boathouse at the Seacrest very dock. Very nation has put $200,000 of improvements into the boathouse. This led to this legislation is an update to their lease agreement to make their payments to the Department of Parks and Recreation consistent with other market rate partnerships. It would require imagination to pay $32 per square foot plus 2% of their gross receipts. This will increase consistency for imagination so they can continue to have successful a successful business and partnership with Parks and Recreation. Thank you. Thank you. Casper. In words, any further comments or questions? Councilmember Herbold. Well, first of all, it's no surprise that the rate that they were paying greatly outstripped their expectations. It's an incredibly popular and delicious restaurant. I do have a question about the looking at the fiscal note. It looks like the changes that we are voting on today will go back to 2013. The fee payment a change change will be effective. 22nd October 2013. And I don't need to know this now if you don't know the information off the top of your head when you're looking at the fiscal note, it shows an impact of $90,000 in 2016 and 2017. And I believe that's the revenue that they are anticipating to receive moving forward under this new rate. My question is, is are we giving are we giving them a refund for for fees paid over and above what they're required? And and if so, I'd be interested to know a little bit more about that. I believe we are not giving them a refund. If I remember correctly. I would sort of chime in and say that I was at the committee discussion when the. When the whole issue has come up. But that issue of a refund did not come up. And it was certainly my understanding when I voted on it to support the committee that it was moving forward. It was prospective, not retrospective. But currently there's a fiscal note that seems inconsistent with that company. And both owners were there. Okay. Well, we can check out afterwards. Okay. Any further comments or questions? Please call the rule on the passage of the bill. By John. Burgess. Gonzalez I Herbold Johnson. Suarez O'Brian. President Harrell. Hi. Eight in favor and unopposed. Thank you. The bill passes and the chair will sign it. I believe that comes to the end of our agenda. And is there any further business to come before the council? Catherine Gonzalez. Now we're following the rules. Thank you so much. As I mentioned in council briefing this morning, I am asking to be excused for this Monday, August 15th, in order to be able to, as chair of the Safe Communities Committee, to be able to attend a very important hearing that will occur in Judge Roberta's court related to the city's ongoing compliance with the consent decree. Fails the lack of a second. Is there any further? No. Second motion. Their second. It's been moved. And secondly, that Councilman Gosar be excused on August 15th to attend this very important hearing. All those in favor say I. I opposed say no. She's representing us. Thank you very much. Any further business to come? And I'm hoping to be able to make it back before the end of end of council for council. But wanted to exercise some caution there. Very good. You know that. No further business. Everyone, have a great day and we'll stand adjourned.
