Great. Thank you. Thank you all again. And Mr. NOW, Madam Kirk, item 13. And I'm 13 or 12. Item 12 Report from Development Services Recommendation to request the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance designating the Alamitos Neighborhood Library, located at 1836 East Third Street as a Long Beach Historical Landmark District to. Is there a staff report? Madam Vice Mayor, members of the City Council. I'm here to talk to you about a potential recommendation to designate the Alamitos Neighborhood Library as a Long Beach historic landmark. As you know, for the past year and a half, we have been putting a renewed effort on our historic preservation initiatives. And one of those initiatives is to look at landmarking opportunities for both city and for private properties. The City Council recently. Revised the historic ordinance to allow us to go through the landmarking process more efficiently. And this would be the first project that we would bring to you under that new, more efficient ordinance. So with your approval, we would set a hearing and come forward with an ordinance to landmark this location, which does happen to be in District two. Thank you. Thank you, Ms.. Burdick. And I wanted to thank the Cultural Heritage Commission for making this recommendation. This library is one of our jewels in Alamitos Beach. And I remember a celebration we had there for the library a few years ago, appreciating what a great piece of living history it is for the community and for the entire city . If it hasn't already been highlighted, the Alameda Speech Neighborhood Library, I believe Ms.. Highlighted is the oldest remaining building in our library system. And that's something that gives me great, great joy to celebrate and be sure that we forward this for a successful action on the recommendation. And with that, I've made the motion. Councilwoman Gonzales, would you like to address it? I just want to congratulate staff and the Cultural Heritage Commission as well. This is wonderful. Thank you. Thank you. There's been a motion and a second. Is there any member of the public that wished to address Council on item 12? Please come forward and state your name. Very good. You click as it is. It's a superb idea and it should be passed. It's a great building, great asset to the to the district and and also to the city. Thanks. Thank you. Mr. Good. You. Members, please cast your vote. Motion carries.
