Oh, okay. That was District eight. The motion carries unanimously consent calendar has been adopted. Now we're looking at items, so we're not going to take items ten and 11. Correct, Madam Clerk, because those were just withdrawn. So we're going to do item 26. Madam Court, can you read item 26? I. Item 26 Communication from Mayor Garcia. Recommendation to cancel the meeting of March 24th and April 7th, 2020 and hold meetings as teleconferences under the Brown Act. Waivers provided by Governor's office for the remainder of April. Adopt the same guidance for all charter commissions and cancel all non charter commission meetings through April 30th, 2020 unless otherwise requested by the Acting City Manager through a teleconference and waive the municipal code requirement to re declare the emergency every 14 days due to suspension of the regular meetings. Thank you. Let me just add that we developed this item in coordination with the city attorney as well as our health office. And we're just trying to we're following some of the governor's guidelines and giving the city flexibility as these meetings move forward. Can I get a motion, please? Oh, no. And I just when you say emotion, just make the motion and then say your your your name. So I think the motion was by Councilman Austin. Can I get a second? The Sun from. The. Recent days with a second. There is no there is no public comment. So I will go ahead and do. I'm sorry. That's not correct. Mr.. Mr.. CONFER you had a public comment. Please come forward. I think with regards to, um, a current motion agenda item, we don't have the infrastructure yet as we can hear the feedback. For this to work properly. And I think that as public servants I can understand limiting the amount of people within the chambers. But as public servants, it's important for us to see you guys standing firm in unison in the physical realm. You know, not as many of us have, you know, access to the virtual or Internet world. You know, there's a large segment of the population that doesn't even use the Internet, you know, and there's a very serious amount of seniors who get an idea of what's going on via public access through Channel three or whatever it is. And so I, I understand what safety precautions, why this is, uh, uh, a, an agenda item that is deemed as necessary. And also with regards to the other coastal commission, the civil service people and everyone else, I get why, you know, it's, it's good to to tell teleprompter then. But, you know, in the private room, I think it's it's different how we conduct ourselves versus how public servants conduct themselves and are like, if it's possible for you guys to come into the chambers and, you know, have some way of citizens access and you think you. Thank you very much, Mr. Cohen. There is a there's a motion and a second. I will do the roll call. We'll begin with District one, district two. I District three. I district for. By five. Six. Ray. Seven. I ate. Nine. Oh, I'm so high. Okay, nice high. Okay, motion carries. All right. We are moving on to the next item. Madam Clerk, if you can please read, the next item we are going to do is item 17.
