Speaker 6: Ocean cares.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Let's read five in the consent, please.
Speaker 1: Report from financial management recommendation or award to contracts for the purchase and delivery of new tires for a total annual aggregate amount not to exceed 770,000 citywide.
Speaker 0: There's a motion about Councilman Price. Is there a second on this? It's going to be customary. Ringa, do we know who pulled this item?
Speaker 4: That was me.
Speaker 0: Okay. Did you. Did you want to.
Speaker 1: Yes. Can I just.
Speaker 0: Yeah, go ahead. Speak to the item council.
Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. Awesome. And thank you. I just have a couple comments. I pulled this item because I think it's really important that we support local businesses. And I wanted to understand, like, how much industrial tire the local company is getting on the contract. And I also want to make sure that our local procurements and preferences are more than just, you know, window dressing, that when we're awarding these these companies, these local companies, that they actually also get a significant amount of the contract because, as we all know, local businesses strengthen our local economy and communities. And I know that later on today, we're going to be talking about the procurement study and the 250,000 that's allocated for this. And I think it's very important that we look at minority owned businesses and disadvantaged businesses right here in our backyard. And I also in the future, I want to go further. I would like to see that on these RFPs and local business that we give a greater local preference to local businesses. I don't know what the preference is right now if it's 5%, but I would like to see it somewhere around 15%. So I look forward to bring in that item later on this year.
Speaker 0: I think there's a there is a much wider public comment on this item that was pulled. Please. Your.
Speaker 1: Motion carries.
Speaker 0: Thank you. We do have a we have two hearings. I wanted to if we traditionally always do the hearings first. But if there is any objection, there is an ADA item. And I think we're going to try to. Here are 88 items at the top of the agenda, if possible. So can we hear item 24?
