Speaker 2: Thank you. Next item, please. Item 16.
Speaker 0: Report from Development.
Speaker 2: Services.
Speaker 0: Financial Management Recommendation to award eight contracts for as needed graphic design and creative services in an annual aggregate amount not to exceed $795,000 citywide.
Speaker 2: Is there a staff report?
Speaker 9: This is simply adding a contract authority for as needed graphic design services. There's not a budgeting enhancement requested, just a contract with eight firms, five of which are Long Beach businesses.
Speaker 2: There's been a motion in a second. Councilman Price.
Speaker 6: Thank you. I do have a question. What is the availability of this service to council offices like? If we wanted to make use of graphic artists to help make fliers for our community events and things like that. Is this an option that we would have to utilize?
Speaker 9: So we got that question earlier this week, and that's something that we're willing to explore. That's something we haven't done yet. But this is essentially contract authority, the ability to enter into contract. The city enters into contracts and apartments draw down. We'd be happy to explore that if the council office wants to use their budget to be able to use this prequalified list. So we'll do some follow up on that and provide a response.
Speaker 6: Great. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Councilman Gonzalez.
Speaker 5: This is great. I too would have that same question as well because it would be good. I mean, as we constantly do outreach, it would be great to see if we could draw from these individuals. And I want to congratulate Deborah up there. I work with her regularly at Microsoft. And so I'm so glad to see you here. And I see Allen up there, too. So congratulations for being a part of that. I look forward to it.
Speaker 2: Councilmember Richardson.
Speaker 10: Just want to chime in, given the discussion and say that these are great companies here and we've worked with the CAP Agency. If you visit W WW dot, imagine how incom you'll see all the graphic works fantastic associated with the Highland Park Community Center redesign. So it's fantastic to have this on on file and I encourage everyone to take advantage of it.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Is there any public comment on this? Item. Item? CNN members cast your vote.
