Very good. And any questions on the appointments? All those in favor of confirming the appointments. Please vote i. I. Those opposed vote no. The motion carries and the appointments are confirmed. Please read the reports of the Parks, Seattle Center, Libraries and Waterfront Committee. The Report of the Park Sale Center, Libraries and Waterfront Committee Gender 19 Council will 1190 49 relating to the Department of Parks and Recreation authorizing the Superintendent of Parks Recreation to enter into an concession agreement with Earth Courts to Occupy and use a portion of Building 30 at Warren G. Magnuson Park for general office purposes. Can we recommend that the bill passes amended? Thank you. Councilman Beckstrom, thank you for filling in. Yes, you bet. And I want to extend, thanks to Councilmember Suarez and also her staff, Mercedes and Brendel, in particular in parks for moving this forward. We spent many meetings on this and it's a ten year agreement with two five year optional extensions. The agreement provides earth core with space, I believe, at building 30 for their operations and in exchange they will pay rent and make tenant improvements to the space which is in desperate need of these improvements. They will offer also a series of public benefits which is attached to the contract as exhibit B1. And I just want to say this has been an effort that Councilmember Suarez has led to make sure that when we're entering into contracts like this on park property, that there are real public benefits. This will require community outreach to various networks and to including environmental professionals of color, Green, Rainier Valley Core and Student Conservation Association, among others. There also will be an ecological restoration offset where Earth Core will provide at least two restoration projects annually to the Seattle Department of Parks. At no cost to the city Earth Core will also provide volunteer and expert experiential learning opportunities in the city for students and the general public that are not otherwise funded by parks. And I think think. Thank you. Thank you. So I really want to extend thanks to Earth Core for working with the department and our council central staff as well to improve the public benefits. Tracy Radcliffe helped us in particular and appreciate the work that all have been doing to raise the bar around this. So we would like to move forward with this and the committee unanimously recommended passage. Thank you very much. Any questions or comments on this bill? Anytime someone says the word Magnuson Park, you know that I'm statutorily required to comment. Right. This is the part where you say, you know, district four, blah, blah, blah, etc.. But in all seriousness, the earth core folks are really excited about finally getting this deal done. And we're, you know, in the continued effort of revitalization of Magnuson Park, they're going to be a critically important nonprofit to steward building 30 across the finish line. So a lot of reason for celebration today. I'm excited to see them move forward with this long term is with. Us. Very good. Okay 40 to support D four, please call the role on the passage of the bill.
