District six. I strict seven. I. District eight. District nine. All right. Okay. Thank you. We're going to go out in 24. Madam Clerk. Report from Health and Human Services Revised Recommendation to adopt resolution re declaring a shelter crisis suspending applicable provisions of local law, including those contained in the city's zoning ordinances. Of the Long Beach Municipal Code and Regulations. And authorizing the operation of an interim shelter for the period of April one, 2020 through September 30, 2020. Inclusive and authorize the city manager or designee to execute an amendment to lease 35431 to extend the term until October 30th, 2020. District one. Thank you. We're going to go without objection, we're going to go ahead and go to a vote saying that there is a no public comment. And, Mr. Mayor, we do have an. Amendment that. We would like to read into the record, please. Sure. Mr. Modica. So this is Charlie Parker? Yes. The the item. I think we've gotten some recent information from the county. This is all good news. And and Theresa Chandler is here to go into details on it, that we are going to adopt a resolution declaring this shelter crisis, suspending the applicable provisions of the local law, including including those contained in the city zoning ordinance of the city of the Long Beach Municipal Code and Regulations, and authorize the operation of the interim shelter for a period of April 1st, 2020 through September 30th, 2020. Inclusive. And the good news on this, I believe, is the city was ready to do this and ready to pay for it. And the county over the weekend has stepped up. And I'll let Teresa kind of give the details. Well, originally, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, also known as Lahsa, was only planning to fund the county run Winter Shelter Program to March 31st, 2020. Lahsa holds the contract with the provider of the shelter, which is used for this Winter Shelter program in order to continue the interim shelter program through the opening of the long before granting farm spreads housing community, which has a coming up year round shelter council approved additional funding to ensure we have shelter beds available on Long Beach while the ABC community undergoes construction. But the gap between winter shelter closing in March and the opening of the Addison community. In June, the city of Long Beach made arrangements to contract directly with the operator US vets that would extend the interim shelter through June 28th, 2020, yesterday and late afternoon last but confirm they will be extending all winter shelter sites throughout the county to September 30th, 2020. Therefore, the city no longer needs to contract directly with us that or pay for shelter services because last year will absorb the costs for the extension. So this is why we're making the recommendation to extend the lease. Thank you for the current program. There's no there's no public comment. I'm going to go to a roll call vote without objection. District one. I district to district three i. District four. I. District five. A six by seven. I hate. I a.
