Speaker 1: Item 21 Report from Long Beach Airport Financial Management and Public Works recommendation to award the contract to Griffith Company for a total contract amount not to exceed 300 I'm sorry, 3,230,000 and increase appropriations in the Airport Enterprise Fund by 3,365,000. District five.
Speaker 2: Of.
Speaker 0: Which has been in motion by council members seconded by Councilmember O'Donnell. Any public comment on the item? Seeing none. I'm sorry. From Boston.
Speaker 8: This is a pretty sizable amount of money. I would just love to get some background from a staff report.
Speaker 0: Absolutely. Mr. West.
Speaker 3: Certainly. Our deputy city manager, Reggie Harrison, and Carolyn Lowe and Jeff Sedlak.
Speaker 9: From all from the airport can answer.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 10: Mayor and members of the city council. There it is. On. So you're you're correct, Councilmember Orson, this is a considerable amount of money for these two taxiways that were built in the 1920s and thirties, and they're in need of substantial repair at this time. A part of the costs for this project also goes into the manner in which we're going to repair the project to be environmentally friendly, to be sustainable. So we're going to actually use a lot of the material that's currently on the site to be a part of the rebuild of this of these two taxiways as well. So the FAA has worked with the airport staff and has granted us amounts to cover that, to cover that cost, as well as a small amount of PFC charges, passenger facility charges that will also be as a part of this project. But FAA has been very much working with our staff, with our engineering staff and operations staff to oversee this project. And they really feel good about moving forward with this.
Speaker 8: So will our airport operations be disrupted in any way? Well, the construction is underway.
Speaker 10: So these taxiways are primarily used by the general aviation community. There will be minimal disruptions there. We anticipate that throughout this process we will schedule the work they're done in a manner in which the community can continue to enjoy these taxiways and there'll be no impact to the commercial airlines.
Speaker 8: Well, Mr. Harrison, I just want to say, you know, you sound like you really know what you're talking about and you're doing a great job as the interim airport director. I think it speaks volumes about Mr. West, our city manager, and the depth of his his management bench. Thank you very much for that report.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Seeing no other actually counts on Councilwoman Mongo.
Speaker 2: I just want to thank all of the airport staff who have taken me on tours of the airport to see exactly what's going on and how it will be happening. It's very important that we take all things into consideration. And I think you have been exceptionally informed and professional. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you. We've done public comment members. There's a motion on the floor. All those in favor of the motion. Please raise your hand. Motion carries unanimous. Next item.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Item 22, report from police. Recommendation to receive and file the application of rounding third sports bar for a premise to premise and person to person. Transfer of an Alcoholic Beverage Control license at 4133 4135. East Anaheim Street District four.
