The committee recommends the bill pass. Thank you very much, Councilmember Bagshaw. Yeah, thank you so much. You remember a few weeks ago we sold the comp shop and they need additional space to move into. And so 15,500 square feet has been located at a negotiated rent of 13,475 a month. It'll be a ten year lease with 5 to 5 year options to extend. We asked if asked whether they felt this was a good deal. It provides for their needs and they answered affirmatively. And we recommend moving forward with this lease legislation. Thank you. Any further comments? Concerns one. Thank you. Fresno. This council will approve the city renting warehouse space to house not only the com shop which I support, but it also rents space to the navigation team to stage their sweeps of homeless encampments, out of which I do not support in the fiscal node. It explains that they are renting a larger space than they would need just for the com shop to accommodate the navigation team. It does say that they were having trouble finding a location the size of just a gunshot, but I am confident that it must be possible to find an appropriately sized location for the gun shop or just a gun shop somewhere in Seattle. As I've said, the sweeps of homeless encampments are inhumane and ineffective. They just move people who have nowhere to go from one street corner to another, and sometimes the people end up in the same corner because they have nowhere else to go. The navigation team is a waste of city resources and I do not support the Council bill to rent additional space for its ever expanding operation. So I will vote no. Any further comments? Go for the color roll on the passage of the bill. O'Brien I so want no big shots. Gonzalez I. Herbold I. Johnson whereas mosquera i president Harrell I Adan. Favor one opposed. Bill passed and the chair will sign it. Please read items 16 through 19 collectively place.
