Motion carries. Thank you. Item three, please. Item three Report from City Clerk Recommendation two Adobe resolution declaring a vacancy in the first Council meeting district and ordering, calling, providing for and giving notice of a special municipal election to be held on November 5th, 2019, and Adobe resolution requesting the Board of Supervisors to render specific services to the city relating to the conduct of a special municipal election. Any public comment on this item? Yes. Please come forward. Very good you address on file. I'm wondering if there's merit and if we can accomplish this. I think it would be great. As long as we're doing this having a special election. If you would have a special election. For the second district. And get that over with. Now, the people of the second District and indeed this city, but particularly sick people of the second District, are entitled to have a representative that is mentally stable. And that does not have a police record. Of fishing off the company pier with a staff member. The Second District really hasn't had good, solid leadership, in my view. Well over ten years. Well over ten years, but certainly in the last. Three years with the present council. The people are being short sighted. Therefore, I think it makes eminent sense to take the needed steps. You have a special elections for the second district so they can get a fresh, clean start with mentally stable. Council representation. Which they do not have now and have not had for the past three and a half years. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. There's a motion in a second. Councilman Richardson, anything to add? Nope. Councilman Mongo? Nope. No other public comment. So please cast your votes to call the special election.
