Item 1.16. I moved to declare the appropriations ordinance for fiscal year 15, creating and establishing the funds of the municipal government and appropriating money to and authorizing expenditures from said funds and force said fiscal year as an emergency ordinance read an adopted as read and laid over to the actually no, just read and adopted as read. Are we laying it over for? Yes, we are yet and laying it over to the next regular meeting of the City Council for final reading and council members. We have the hand out that's been passed out is. ERICKSEN Did you want to speak to it? Yes. Vice Mayor, you have at your desk three handouts. The first is the amended motion that includes both what was recommended by the U.S. and what was amended on the floor of council. So you this is the same as what you had before. But then there's a new section called Additional Changes on the floor of council, and there you'll have the $100,000 that goes to the language access plan from artificial turf conversion. And it makes note about the using money for the voice mail conversion to go towards L.A. P implementation to CUDA one phone number initiative and also includes the contingent appropriation for police overtime for residential burglary up to $350,000 from the FY 2014 up on surplus. And it also lastly includes the transfer of the park ranger program in parks to police and that is also subject to the meeting confer process. Also in front of you, you have exhibit A and Exhibit B, these are the appropriation ordinances, these appropriation ordinances with Exhibit A appropriate by fund the entire budget, and that includes the changes that were modified today. And then Exhibit B does the appropriation by department also includes the changes that were discussed today? And by approving this, you are approving and appropriating. The F 15 budget. Thank you. Ms.. ERICKSON And so council members, my motion is to include the amendments that we had agreed to, as well as both in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, the transfer amounts. There's been a there's been a motion and a second. Councilor Richardson. Just a point of clarification on the not exhibit A or Exhibit B, but the Bill C recommendations as amended on the floor. The use of the the use on the the one time council divided by nine funds, the description seems a little bit different. Is that a mistake? We're prepared this madam or councilmember. That actually wasn't amended. So that that should be noted that we did talk about was it up to $100,000 for 50 sorry, $50,000 per district for the park ranger program. Thank you. Not park range. Programing for. Part programing. Part programing. Part programing. So excellent. So we have a motion on the floor. I would take any public comment. Good evening, Suzanne Brown, senior attorney with the Legal Aid Foundation. Here in Long Beach. Congratulations. You're almost there. It's been a long night. One thing we just want to point out with respect to the language access motion, there might be a little bit of confusion. I think there was discussion about the 311 phone line and how it's a really good idea, but that it's not actually part of the policy. It's something that would be done separately. And so we would ask that that language be removed from the proposal before you and that the 311 line be examined separately, because that's really about general access for the city. It's not the language access issue. It's no matter what your language is, if you want to have a a policy where the doors and shut on you. So we would ask that that please be removed in the hundred thousand. Be fully dedicated to language access. Thank you. Thank you. We have a motion on the floor. Closed public comment. Please cast your votes. Motion carries nine zero. Thank you. Just want to say just a few things. First, I want to congratulate the full City Council on passing a responsible, balanced and budget that really looks towards towards the future as far as putting my dollars aside. There's certainly always more need than there is resources. And I think that there are a lot of very credible programs, projects out there that were not as part of this budget that we all would like to see. And I think it's obviously up to us to move forward and work with the community and all of our and all of the stakeholders to ensure that we're able to meet the needs as far as we can afford that moving forward. So I wanted to congratulate the Council again on passing the budget early, which I think is says a lot about this new this new council coming in as well. They've been doing their work and it's been a thoughtful process. I also want to thank the members of the B or C, Vice Mayor Lowenthal, Councilmember Patrick O'Donnell and Councilmember Stacy Mongeau for their work, as well as all the the meetings that happened throughout the community. Vice Chair Patrick O'Donnell And just that and and also I think we owe a big thank you to staff and not just obviously financial management and the city manager, but all of the employees and all the budget officers. And we have a significant amount of reason this work happens all year. They're working on the budget. They will start working on the budget again tomorrow. And so this is this is the kind of work that happens at the city. And so I wanted to thank all the budget staff and everyone that's involved in putting this budget together. This is a responsible budget, and I think everyone did a great job. So let's give them a round of applause. Council for for their hard work. And and with that, we will move on to the rest of the City Council meeting. Madam Clerk.
