Recommendation to consider naming the Center Theatre to be renamed the "Beverly O'Neill Theatre" in honor of her contributions to the City of Long Beach.
Okay. Thank you. I'm sorry. Council Member. Your Honor, I could see that you've activated your votes, but I don't know that it's registering, so. Thank you. Okay. And next we have item 13. Is that correct? Yes. Communication from Councilman Andrew's chair, Housing and Neighborhoods Committee recommendation to consider renaming the Center Theater to the Beverly O'Neill Theater in honor of her contributions to the city of Long Beach. Councilmember Andrews. Yes. Thank you, Mayor. I think this is a wonderful, wonderful honor for this young lady here. And I feel like would be a great honor to rename that the Senate theater after Mayor Beverly O'Neil. She's got our city through one of the most hardest times after the Navy left and turned it into a thriving tourist destination and a hub for international trade. She's helped develop the Long Beach Town Center and part of the 605 Freeway. Has the reputation of being a supreme leader. She was an educated Long Beach City College for 31 years. She started as a music professor but retired as a superintendent president. Mayor Beverly O'Neal has received numerous award for outstanding governing ability as the mayor and her devotion to education to our youth as one of the wards I proudly bestow upon her. I probably high school was probably a walk of fame ceremony with the stars is mounted on Poly's back fence. Also, she is no longer holding a public office. She is still very active throughout the city and she is so dearly loved. And we truly love ourselves. Right to move. To. Thank you. Councilmember and Councilmember Austin, would you like to comment on the. Yes. Yes. Beverly O'Neal has made some great contributions to our city, as I mentioned before. And when this item first came before us, as well as in the Housing and Neighborhoods Committee, she is arguably the most respected public official that Long Beach has had, at least in my time. And it is a real honor for me to to vote on this item and can't wait to see her name in lights on the the theater. It's going to be awesome. Thank you, Councilmember. And I think the honors well deserved. I'm thankful for the support of the entire council when this item when the recommendation was made before this body. And as you know, I was here earlier and the board members were here and and I'm sure they are delighted that this item has come through as well. Is there any member of the public that wishes to address Council on Item 13? Seeing None members cast your vote. Most eateries. I think it has a delay. Affected works eventually. Thank you. Thank you. All right. That was item 13 and.
