Okay. Okay. Thank you. So we're going to hear item 19. Madam Clerk, item 19, please get in reverse. Yes. Item 19 is communication Councilman Andrew's recommendation to increase appropriation in the general fund in the Parks Recreation Submarine Department by 10,000, offset by the six Council District one time infrastructure funds to help fund playground equipment at the Jenni Rivera Memorial Park. And request the city attorney to draft a resolution in support of the efforts of the Jenni Rivera Foundation as they apply for Playground Equipment Grant with the nonprofit organization Kaboom. Okay. Great. There is a motion to second Councilman Andrews. Yes. Thank you, Mayor. This is a really a fantastic event, what we had in sixth District, because the fact that you guys are predicting Garfield and then we have the universe, you know, kaboom that we're going to put over there. Because the fact that a lot of individuals have lived in this district who don't know a lot about cheering, feel, that's a big hole of a walnut. So if you had a chance to go through there, it looks like a might now because we've done so much work and put so much time into it. I want to thank first, I think, in the Department of Parks and Recreation, Marines for the incredible work at the Geneva Bears Memorial Park. To date, this park is one of the most walk through every day in my district, and it has served an area to remember a wonderful woman who contributed to Long Beach in many ways . The General Bears Love Foundation has really stepped up and worked with the city to keep Jenny's legacy alive, and I am excited to see the playground come to this park. So if you guys haven't had a chance, please go down walnut walker from Walnut over to California Street and you will be able to see one of the most beautiful parks and the mirror of my whole life. And her family is here today. So I'd like to have them come up and I'd like to get a motion, but please help me pass this motion. Good afternoon, everyone. I don't have a cute kitty, but I have a very cute niece. And if you want to take her home, I'll let you. I asked her for permission. Thank you so much. You're you've always been a great support to everyone in your district. And in this case, my sister Jenni Rivera. And we are so pleased with this park. Like you said, many children I've seen from middle school and adults walk through this park. And what Jenni Rivera Foundation has seen is that single mothers, which are our mission, is to help single mothers raise again with their children. So we provide shelter. We were providing child care, and now we want to provide a park where a single mother can. Take her child and it's free and it's spending. Quality time with the family and it will be out in the open, just, you know, get the kids off their cell phone and on onto a playground. And this isn't our only project. We have many other projects, but just so you get an idea, it's it's $5,000 to test the soil before we can even begin anything. So these $10,000 will help us so much. And Jackie, the board of directors can that you know, other projects the park has. As you guys know we already have the memorial that my brother did in honor of my mom. And we want to do the playground first off. And our next plans would be exercise equipment and maybe a doggie center for people to walk their dogs. Maybe also organized family days are my thing is really important to her family. Her family spend quality time together, not just in front of the TV and mom's busy, but just we want to provide a place where families can spend quality time, like. My mom said. And we want to we're planning on having a family day. So this grab would really help to start us up and really moving forward with the park. Thank you. Guys. Thank you guys very much. Thanks again. Yes. Okay. Did any public comment on this motion saying none then of course, the Jenni Rivera family, we're very grateful to be in partnership with you and look forward to all the great things at the park and beyond. And so thank you very much. There's a motion in the second. Councilman Gonzales, any comment? Just congratulations to the family and also to De Andrews. You do a spectacular job for your community. And congratulations, Councilmember. Appreciate all your work there. Thank you. Thank you. Membership is good and cash vote. Motion carries. Okay. Thank you very much. Congratulations. Okay. We have we have two hearings, and so I need to make an announcement about the first one. So we have about we have two large groups for two items today. The first one is the two. The first hearing hearings are up first. And that is in particular, people are here for the appeal on the mental health facility. And so that's up first. The second large item that we have here is on the healing issue. And I know that the folks here from the don't waste the Don't Waste campaign, we need to get everyone in for the mental health issue first. That is going to at least take an hour of time for that hearing. It's a long hearing. And so if anyone is willing to give their seat up for numerous seniors and others that are outside, that want to be able to speak on the other item that would be appreciated, this this item will not come up at least for an hour. Okay. It's not the first the first hearing is up first. And so this item is won't be up for an hour. And so that's up to you guys. I just want to everybody know that I think from what I am about, from what I'm hearing from staff, there's about 40 people outside. Is that so correct? Mr. MODICA At last count was almost 80. Okay. Now. So I'm going to just take one minute and I'm going to see if I can get all of the folks that are here for the mental health hearing. And first. You know. Yeah. I think a lot of the time. Yeah. Look. You're. Okay. If I can have someone from staff, the fire department, whoever, please go out. I know we're about 80 people outside and just bring in the folks from the mental health appeal and then we'll bring everyone else in after that. Okay. Who on staff is doing that. Tom, is someone doing all this? Yes, we do have staff outside that are moving in. I think the hearings and asking those to come from. Service. You don't. Reschedule the next one. Three weeks. Hmm.
