Thank you. I'd like to make the motion. I'm sorry. I have to push the button. There's been a motion and a second. So any member of the public that wish to address council on item seven. Mr. Goodhew. Angel. Very good. You click as the address. Excuse me. I thoroughly oppose going awarding this contract or any contract it would go in support of the approved building which. The only thing remarkable about the design is how unremarkable it is in terms of imagination, period. The what you have contracted for or would like to contract for is nothing more than a redo of L.A. downtown. Parker Center. It would be an embarrassment to this city. And it shows. The lack of familiarity that this council has with some of the buildings in this city travel down to the iconic Villa Riviera. There are, certainly. A number of designs that could be speak well and stand as a lasting legacy to your name. Your name will be forever more attached. To the certainly pedestrian building that you want to put up there. And so I would suggest that you step back and wait and again, wait until we have a new mayor and a new city manager. And we have our finances squared away. Thank you. Thank you, Mr.. Good to you. So anyone else would like to address Council on Item seven? Seeing None members, please cast your vote. Motion carries seven zero. Item eight.
