Report from Long Beach Airport. Recommendation to authorize the city manager to execute a sublease between millionaire north and the city of Long Beach for office space at 4401. Donald Douglas Drive, District five. Canada Motion to second in his Motion at a second. Any public comment? Seeing no public comment back to the council. Councilman Andrews Nope. Councilman Austin Nope. Vice Mayor Richardson. I'd like to just to get a staff report and if the city attorney could just weigh in on if there's any potential conflicts of interest. Thanks. Just Romo can give the staff report for the airport. And then we'd like to hear from the city attorney. Mayor Garcia, members of council. The item before you is a proposed five year lease for office space at Long Beach Airport to help support functions including our accounting group, engineering group and security group. We're in dire need of additional space to house these functions that are critical for the airport. The council letter lays out the process under which this lease was developed, including rental surveys and identifying space that was both competitive and convenient for staff. Answer any questions you have relative to the lease terms itself. Otherwise, I defer to the city attorney on the other question. Mr. City Attorney. Mayor, members of the Council, thank you. As you recall, on December 13th, the city council requested the city attorney to seek an opinion from the SPC on this lease. We did so in writing on December 19th and then we have followed up with the PPC since that time and as the date of this evening in this Council letter, we have not received any information from the PPC subsequent to the request. Mr. Glen Ray notified the city that he had stepped down from the A.S., the Airport Advisory Commission, and at this time we advise the PPC of his decision to do so, and we are still not received any official word or opinion and have no indication from FBC when that might be forthcoming. That being understood, this office, we do not believe that there is a conflict or that this country creates a conflict or is prohibited. We have a similar issue or had a similar issue with a city employee and we received written correspondence from the see that this was appropriate contract to enter if the individual did not have or act in his capacity while with the city to process or to approve the contract, the AJC does not receive or these items of contracts do are not presented to the AC. So even his sitting on that was not part of the process. So therefore, we believe we can legally move forward with this contract. Thank you. Okay, that's fine. Okay. There's a motion and a second. Please cast your votes. Motion carries 12, please.
