I know. Ocean carries. Thank you. Item number 12, please. Communication from Councilmember Pearce, Vice Mayor Andrews, Councilman Austin Councilmember Richardson Recommendation to request city attorney to draft resolution in support of AB 664 and SB 893. Councilman Pearce. Thank you, Mayor. And this item is in support of AB six, six, four and as written SB 893 as at b893 did not make it. And so I'd like to make the motion to just be a resolution in support of AB 664 AB 664 due to the unique dangers faced by first responders, certain types of injuries deemed presumptively work related. During the COVID 19 pandemic, first responders and health care professionals are required by law to provide vital public safety services. This puts them at risk of exposure and infection. AB 664 would classify COVID 19 and other communicable diseases as as presumptive work related injuries for nurses, firefighters and police officers. This bill has the support of the L.A. Police Protective League, the California Firefighters Police Officers Research Association of California, Riverside Sheriffs Association, San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs Association, California Professional Firefighters, CNA, and many more. There's a belief that these items are going to pass on the floor. We were asked to support our local first responders in supporting this. So I ask that my colleagues support this motion. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor. And there was a motion. The second baseman, Andres Best Mariners. Yes. Excellent. I support that. Okay, great. Roll call vote. District one. I. District two i. District three.

Let's go ahead here for item 14 next, which we'll have a short report. I know. And then we'll move on to our largest item of the night, which would be 13.
