Speaker 0: And 11 is recommendation draft resolution certifying the results of the primary now, meaning election to be moved second.
Speaker 3: And second. In any member, the public would just council item 11 say none. But it's good you.
Speaker 2: Larry GOODHEW Clarke as he addressed the four related items here. And I'm certainly not going to speak on each one of them, but I would take I want to take 3 minutes, but just and combine it all. But I do want to take if you'll allow me about 40 seconds to follow up and a relative to that great deal, the the the newest millionaire. And there's something very sweet about it. Remember, the guys came to they came to this country with $0 and were really poverty. They were living on food stamps. The mother had severe cancer and so forth. Fast forward to today that they signed it. Zuckerberg had the guy over to his house for lunch and they had been working on the deal for a few months into that, running up for that. They decided to sign the deal and they picked up the phone and they called their respective legal teams and said, meet us over here, will sign the paperwork. And the guy said, Listen, I've got a better place to sign that. And Zuckerberg said, Fine, here we go. They hopped in the car, went about 20, 20 minutes, 20 miles away, and it was a vacant building. And that was the only obstacle.
Speaker 3: Is there any relevance to.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's just a sweet thing to keep in mind. All of the vacant buildings, the Social Security office where he used to get food stamps and like Martin Luther King, he took the contract that that sealed the deal, signed it to the grill and the door and signed it. So that it's just a sweet thing on this. I'm going to make this suggestion. If the city clerk and the city attorney can fashion what I'm about to say into something that is acceptable. Now I know the state the city declares a state of emergency many times. I'm going to suggest that the city, this council. After listening to the city fashioning and having the city attorney examine it together with the clerk. Declare a state of emergency. Postpone. The election for one year, during which time the city will hire a retired US federal judge. Obviously not from the ninth Circuit. To help bring this, we put the city back on a sound footing. And a year from now. Go back to the public. And that's based upon the fact that every day I hear from more and more people and. Both sides of the aisle. The overwhelming sentiment is the two choices we have in terms of the mayoral election, and that's all I'm talking about, the mayoral election. The two choices are simply putrid, period. And I find it astonishing. That within what was once a great city, we can't find two people again.
Speaker 0: Regardless of what side of the aisle we got.
Speaker 3: It was a good year. Time's expired. Thank you. I think we know your sentiments on this.
Speaker 0: Thank you. I'm quite sure you do.
Speaker 3: We know that you are quite done. All right. Members, we have a motion in the second on item. Item 11, please cast your votes.
Speaker 0: There are four resolutions.
Speaker 4: Associated with that in a letter that so moved on. All of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Let's do it. All right. Okay. Mr. City Attorney, can we move? Yes.
Speaker 4: So moved.
Speaker 0: Charlie.
Speaker 3: Okay. All right. Yes, ma'am. Mr. Vice Mayor.
Speaker 0: Thank you. I actually just wanted to acknowledge I think we have a pure in the audience to watch this. We have our new incoming school board member, Megan Curran, who was here. And we also have our councilmember elect, Robert Arango, who is here as well. And so I just wanted to point out that their.
Speaker 3: Congratulations to you both.
Speaker 0: Congratulations.
