Motion carries. How to request to move 19. Communication from city attorney recommendation declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by amending sections relating to hotel workers safety precautions red and adopted. As read citywide. There's a motion and a second. Any public comment? Nicholson. But perhaps my better. Good evening, Mayor Garcia, Vice Mayor Andrew's Council members. Administrators, citizens of Long Beach, one of the first towns. I ever commented here was in support of the United Nations Initiative to Protect Women, March 1st, 2016. And I remember, in fact, that it was Councilwoman Price who sponsored that. I think by now you know how deeply I'm dedicated to the welfare, well-being and safety of women. I've been active in the American women's movement now for over 50 years. I'm an era and Alice Paul scholar. When I moved here, I met Claudia's parents. I began to pick it on Ocean Avenue with the women telling the truth about sexual assault in the city's hotels. And for the first time in my life, Time magazine agreed with me on something. They were truth tellers, and actually they were here earlier tonight at that first council meeting addressing Claudia's law, one of the council members mentioned his concern that adopting the hotel housekeepers concern would dampen the booming party of the Grand Prix. You can only imagine what I thought when I went home that night. Have a fun weekend. See a race. Assault your housekeeper in the friendly city of Long Beach. After your testimony and city council majority entrenched in voting against women's protections, the people spoke. And I'm filled with inspiration by the wholesome heart of the vote of the people. I stand here and in bold enough to thank you and welcome you to the right side of this issue. For all women, no matter the size of the hotel, no matter the circumstances, no matter the management. Because you see, as I told you three years ago, women hold up more than half the sky. Women carry water from shore to home all over the world, across the globe, women bear, feed, clothe and educate the young. And you tonight care for the sick, the aging, the dying, your mothers. Thank you. The grandmothers of all directions. Thank you. We stand together in the clear light of day that you have protected. All women tonight. And I'm here tonight to say thank you very much. Thank you, senor. The public comment. Councilman Price. Well, just just. For clarification, this item is about hotel and motel panic buttons and nothing more, which I will say every council member was always in support of. Thank you. Councilman Gonzales. Happy to move this forward. Thank you very much for being here. Please cast your votes. Motion carries cane excited please. We'll go back to item number 12.
