Recommendation to Adobe Resolution Decreasing Appropriation in fiscal year 2021 2022. In the water fund group in the water department by approximately 9 million. I going to motion in a second please. Give us a motion in a second, madam. Quickly public comment. If there are any members of the public they would like to speak on item 27. Please line up at the podium in Zoom. Please use the raise and feature. We have one member of the public in person. Thank you, Dave, again. I'd just like to point out, um. Robert Garcia. That a lot of the arbitrage, a lot of the wasted time, a lot of the back and forth, a lot of the uncertainty, a lot of frankly, the just wastage on this item is a direct result of your leadership. Now, yesterday I was at the Climate Policy Summit hosted by the Climate Center in Sacramento. And unlike your predecessor, Councilwoman Allen, I wasn't drunk driving it. I would love to know if we could rewind the tape. And if you were to remember everything that you said, how you would feel today, and how long ago it would feel today about some of the arguments that were made for a measure of triple H, B, C, triple B to B plus. You know, these are one size fits all proposals. And, you know, if you're going to be ordering study sessions because this city had the contract tracing to tell you determine how your parents got COVID. My parents get COVID? Would they be able to tell me? For two years, I've been washing my hands. I've been wearing masks. I've been doing a whole lot. Wasn't really, you know, result of any of my actions that do something I rolled with rain. That's what you do. Could have done it better someplace else, maybe. Certain people responding to different pressures. But you know, we're all corrupt anyway. And, you know, none of this really matters, right? We have one member of the public in the zoom. And control. Your time begins now. Good evening. In Control formerly fifth district gerrymandered into the board. I'm glad that finally. The Water Department and. The city of Long. Beach will be returning. At least $9 million of the money that was illegally obtained from our. Water bill. It is incredible to me that it took the Supreme Court of. California. To finally get the city to do the right thing. Many of the residents. Protested against this. Transfer of funds. We argued that this was illegal. But because we didn't have over 50% of the ratepayers. Saying. This, the city council went ahead. And. Obtained this money illegally. Now that we're getting 9 million back, I would like to know when we're going to get the other 30 million back. Thank you for your time. That concludes public comment. Thank you. There's a motion in a second on the item. Please roll call vote. District one. District one. I am. District two. I. District three. I. District four I, District five I, District six I, District seven I, district eight I, district nine. All right. The motion is Cory nine zero. Thank you. Next up is item number 20, please. Item 30.
