Thank you. Next up is item 11, please.

Actually, I have one member public. Go ahead. Jordan win. Hi there. Can you hear me? Yes, please. Great. Thank you very much. I just wanted to comment. First of all, a thank you to the city for doing such much needed work in funding this public key project. I did want to bring up one thing. I read the report that the city prepared. I noticed that the full grant was up to $36 million. The expected amount is around 15 to 16 million, which covers the city of Long Beach as burden for the best Western. But I wanted to emphasize that if there is additional funding that comes back from this grant, if we do end up getting closer to the full 36 million that Lumbee continue to pursue, acquiring motels and hotels that may be suitable candidate for supportive and interim housing for those who are experiencing homelessness, particularly chronic homelessness during this time. I just wanted to bring that to the attention of the city. I thank you all for the very dedicated actions that you've been taking recently to make sure that we can get people off of the streets and into safe and affordable housing. Thank you very much. Thank you. That concludes public comment for this item. Okay. Roll call. Vote, please. District one. District two. I. District three. I. District four. I. District five. I. District six. All right. District seven. I. District nine. I motion carries.
