Next Item 22 Report from Long Beach Airport Recommendation to adopt resolution to execute a contract with Berlin Care EMS for the maintenance upgrade and support of the Long Beach Noise and Operations Monitoring System for total amount not to exceed $880,000 for the proposed three year term District five. I think you want to take your motion off. Okay. Okay. I will get in your motion in a second on that. Okay. Can I get a second on that, please? Give us a motion or take any public comment saying none, please. We do. Yes, actually. So let me go to Councilman Superhot and then we're going to go to our public comment. Councilmember Thank you. This is kind of a housekeeping item. I'd like to address just the language in this item. It's listed as a District five item. And generally speaking, this kind of perpetuates perpetuates the philosophy that the airport is a District five entity when it affects our entire city. This specifically involves noise monitors, which are located in districts three, five, four, seven and eight. So I just like the language of this item to be changed to reflect all five council districts. Mr. WEST Yes, we certainly will do that. Okay. Thank you. Councilmember Austin. I think I second that motion. Okay. Councilman Mongo. I would not only like it to be reflected in this, but in future noise related items. Thank you. Thank you. Any public comment on this? I think there was one. Yes, please. Hi again. Laurie Smith, Third District. This I just want to be clear, this also is regarding the web track. Okay. As a Ron Reeves. The noise or the noise? Guru. Guru. Buddha. The Buddha that that deals with her constituents concerns and issues and keeps us updated on things. He gets a lot of emails from those of us who use web track. We're not exactly. Pleased with their service. So I was just talking to. To one of the staffers of the councilman. I just want it to be built in that there is a way that the community who uses this service could. Be able to interact with them rather than it be Ron Reeves and take up his. Time. We've asked for contact information from them and be able to speak to them because there's wide. Swaths of sways swathes of. Information that are missing. And when you look at a Web track website, they also provide the information for Alex Torrance. You can go to any of them. It's very easy to do on their website. And it's funny because our airport, our Long Beach Airport Web track system misses all the information. But if you go to the other airports, you could see it there. So it's it's been something that's going on for a year that we've been talking to them about. Unfortunately, the person that we were speaking to before is no longer there. So I don't have a new contact person. It's just a little frustrating when it's the constituents or people that that are that they're providing the service for so that we could be able to get to get the information if there's people that are not flying correctly or flying too low or dangerously over the neighborhood. So I would just ask that we be able to to put that in to. The contract that they provide. That or have a community outreach person or have bi monthly or quarterly meetings that they meet with with community members to look into. Issues that we're having with their system. Considering that they provide the service to all the other airports. And that information is on there. But it's not an airport. It's something that you would think, you know, you would want to do as a business, that you're providing the service for, you know, 8 to 10 other airports. And yet the one that you then there's this one airport that doesn't have that information. So please include in there. I appreciate you allowing me to talk and. And complain about this. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. West or Mr. Marker. Can you make sure that our system is if we have a system, it's got to be, like the best, obviously, as far as the data. So if ours isn't up to up to speed or I've heard this complaint multiple times. So, Mr. Romo, can we just look into it and we're spending money to do this thing? It should be working. We'll certainly have that conversation with the vendor and see what other departments are doing and make sure that we're doing better, if not exactly what they're doing. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Austin. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I just had a couple of quick clarifying questions for the airport director regarding this. Obviously, I support this agenda item. As we spoke about earlier, the noise ordinance is very, very important to us. And so monitoring noise accurately is is extremely important for our city. And so this this this contract is something that I will support. But I wanted to clarify the noise monitors. Are they specific to the main runway when we 30. Councilmember Austin of the 18 monitors that are deployed. I. 12 are dedicated to runway 1230 or main runway. The other six are dedicated to the shorter two five runways. So we actually have noise monitoring capabilities for the other two runways. We do that. And the purpose for those is not part of the noise budget, if you will, that's tied to runway 11230, the the noise monitors for the short runways or for single event violations. So we monitor that. If somebody exceeds the allowable single event, that's that's used for that purpose. And do you know, I guess the question, if we have 18 monitors and you said 12 were dedicated to one, two, three zero. That's correct. And so would that mean that three are dedicated to the other two. Three, three. Each? And you know what the the scope of that noise actually is or geographics in terms of where they they're located. Well, I can I'll give you some general information on it and our noise, officer, if you want to get more pinpoint information. But each of the short runways has a one monitor on the approach side and two monitors on the departure side. Specific locations. I'd have to have Mr. Reeves come up here if you want that information. Which I can get with him. Outside of that, I'm just trying to get some orientation as to. Okay. Our noise monitoring capabilities on the other runways. Yes. Thanks. Thank you. I we have a I'm sorry, Councilman. You know. Just one last point of clarification. This item is primarily software, as I understand it now with the noise monitoring system. There's a physical component. I think web track calls them emus. Ron Reis refers to them Raptis, I believe. But it's the pickup device, the microphone that that measures the sound. Does this item. Well, I mean, a better question would be, is there a single point of responsibility if a noise monitor goes down? I know our airport staff does a great job, but Web track is not responsible for their not being sound monitored. They're they're responsible for a component of that. Would that be correct? That's correct. Okay. So what we really need to do as as the mayor said, if we want a top notch system, it's got to be both the physical component and the software component. So I just like to add that that. If that makes sense. Yes. All right. Thank you. Excellent. Thank you. We have a motion in a second. We had public comment. Please cast your votes.
