Speaker 3: Okay. There's a motion in a second. Please cast your vote on this item. Motion carries. Item A four, please.
Speaker 2: Recommendation to adopt the allocations of Long Beach Recovery Act plan and increase fiscal year 21 appropriations in relevant departments and funds.
Speaker 3: I think it's want to add just a couple of remarks on this piece. I just want to again, I just think the the Biden administration, the Congress, certainly the both the state and our county resources for allowing us to put together a major alarming recovery plan of new resources coming into the city. The additional $249 million are going directly to support city programs, including substantial investments in health and violence prevention work, as well as a variety of programs as it relates to library services, outreach for community programs, the justice fund, expanding language access, new programs for seniors, and particularly new programs around youth health outcomes and climate resiliency. In addition, there is incredible support for small businesses that have been impacted by the pandemic. There is support more substantially for our health department for a variety of COVID 19 related investments and costs. And the support for our city employees, which relates to eliminating our furloughs for hardworking employees and restocking the reserves, which we also know are very important as it relates to having drawn down a reserve because of the pandemic, putting reserves back to prepare for the next emergency. And so I do want to thank all all the all of the partners that helped us put this together. And I think there's one comment on this face to me. Richardson did you have a public comment on the Recovery Act?
Speaker 1: Sure. First of all, all the things you said, absolutely. But a couple of things were raised by the community that I want to make sure that we're clear on. So I know that when we negotiated and debated this, a number of things were called out. But they're not broken out in this budget, particularly around the land trust, the housing navigation and the down payment assistance. Well, Mr. Modica, can you confirm that those are reflected here and what the amounts are?
Speaker 2: Yes. So there was a motion that was passed back on March 16th, which then took stat's recommendations and amended it. And so there was additional $5 million in that motion for all of the housing. It would be $1,000,000 for navigators, $1,000,000 for land trust, and $3 million for additional downpayment assistance. Okay. So we're looking in the budget. We actually don't have that narrative that that same way that the council did it, that was just an oversight. Those are the council motion governs it. And we'll we'll be providing more information on how those exactly get broken down.
Speaker 1: Okay. So that's important because I know there was a request earlier for additional money on housing navigation. And I want to clarify. Majority of the funds had a 10%. This would have been subject to a 10% cut. There's at that housing navigation, $1 million based on the the rest of the recovery dollars. But this wasn't. And so there's $100,000. So this would have been 900, but it's a thousand. So it's effectively the same as if you'd gotten an additional 100 for a navigator. It's effectively the same. And so I want the community to understand you're still going to get $1 million fully for housing navigation. The motion was already approved by the budget, by the Council, and it's reflected here. So I want I just want folks to leave with that clarity that these levels are reflected in the budget. Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Vice Mayor. There's a motion and a second. Please cast your votes on the Recovery Act plan. Russian cares. I think he mixes the capital improvement program, which is a five.
