Speaker 2: But we are close to 630 as possible. So let's will begin and go through the rest of the agenda as we move forward. So we're going to hear item 20. Third 23, please first.
Speaker 0: Item 23 A Communication from Mayor Garcia. Recommendation to approve the expenditure of 15,000 and the General Fund group as a reward for information to solve the murders of Maurice Poe, Junior, Melvin Williams, the Second and Ricardo Torres on October 29, 2019.
Speaker 2: Thank you. We are at the last council meeting. I know we had a strong moment of silence and remembrance for these individuals who lost their lives on October the 29th. We've, of course, know that the Long Beach Police Department is working incredibly hard with all of our resources into ensuring that we that we solve and bring justice to the families and to all those involved. On the horrific tragedy and shooting that occurred on October the 29th. I'm asking the council to to match and working with the county board of Supervisors the $15,000 that they are putting in to that, we have a total of $30,000 that that is set aside into a fund to reward anyone with information to solve the murders of Marist Poll Melvin Williams and Ricardo Torres. The Board of Supervisors is also taking action or just took action today. And so that will that fund will be, of course, as worked an administrator through our Long Beach Police Department. And this was also at their request. And so they have been working with the board and with our office to get this in front of all of you. And so with that, there's a motion and a second if you're going to do a public comment on this. Councilmember Pierce. Councilwoman Price members, please cast your votes.
Recommendation to approve the expenditure of $15,000 in the General Fund Group, which will match the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors' pending allocation, for a total of $30,000 as a reward for information to solve the murders of Maurice Poe Jr., Melvin Williams II, and Ricardo Torres on October 29, 2019; and direct City Manager to coordinate and award the City authorized reward consistent with the Los Angeles County terms and conditions.
