(Citywide)
Nine zero. Thank you. 11. Report from Parks Recreation Marine Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute an agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation to accept grant funding in an amount not to exceed 53,790 for the Dodgers Dream Team Program. Thank you. Thank you. Just. Mr. Modica, I'm not sure what what that was. I just heard something in speaker. Mr. Modica, just a brief staff report on the update on RBI. We don't need a lot of time on this. Yes. Brant. Dennis. Yeah. Thank you, Vice Mayor. We're really excited as a department to continue our partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers to their foundation. So tonight, we're asking for approval to accept their support in the amount of $53,790. Beyond that, they do also provide a lot of other in-kind support for our program. We're excited because it really does introduce or give opportunities for nearly 930 kids to be introduced to baseball, primarily in the T-ball and coach coach pitch levels. But the funding helps offset the costs to support 77 teams at 24 different park locations with 12 to 15 players per team. And again, it's just a real great opportunity not only to continue our partnership with the Dodgers, but to spark an interest from young kids in our community for the great American support of baseball. Thank you. You have a list, the parks with the program? Yeah, I can I can. Just read them off. Quickly. 24. Sure. So I think they're not phonetic order. So the parks include Bixby College Estate, Shabazz, Cherry, Coolidge, Drake, Eldorado, Hartwell, Holton, MLK or King Park, MacArthur McBride or Zorba Pan-American Ramona Scheer Park Seaside Park Signal Hill Park Silverado, Somerset Stearns Veterans Wardlow and Whaley and in particular some of the larger park programs. And do include Hampton Park, where we have about 110 kids involved in nine different teams, just as one example. Fantastic. Thank you. Any public comment on leaving? No public comment on the side.
