Communication from City Attorney Recommendation to Declare Ordinance Amending the Long Beach Municipal Code relating to office holder counts reading read and adopted as read citywide. Councilwoman Gonzalez. Okay. Just wanted to say thank you to my council colleagues. I know we had a healthy discussion about this particular item now that it's here. I just wish to move forward with with the motion. There's just. There's a second by Councilmember Ringa. Any public comment on the item? Please, sir, calm down. Larry. Good you click as the address if I'm downtown if the correct me if this is not the item that last week there was the discussion of considerable very vibrant discussion relative to procedure and whether or not it was.

That is not the way government should work.

There's a second by Councilmember Turanga. Please go and cast your votes. Motion passes five three. Next item is item 17 and 18, I think. Mr. City Attorney, do these have to be taken separately or.
