Total valid ballots counted were 877. The percentage of assessment in favor was 78.83%. There is not a majority protest, so it passes.
Speaker 0: All right. Congratulations to the downtown Long Beach Alliance. We're going to recognize Councilwoman Sun House as the maker of this motion. And Councilwoman Sara was the second councilwoman and they asked your comments.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Vice Mayor. I just want to congratulate the LBA and very happy for their renewal. I think that this is a fitting time for us moving forward. There's so much that the LPA has done, especially during this pandemic, in uplifting not only our residents in the area, but our businesses as well. And I just want to say how excited I am to continue that work with you and continue this partnership that we have developed. And I'm just really excited to see what the next ten years are going to bring to our downtown. And I'm just looking forward to it. And congratulations. Thank you to all that worked on this so, so very hard for the last two years. And thank you to city staff. And I'm just really, really excited to see what comes next. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Councilwoman Ciro.
Speaker 4: Part the emotion and congratulation everyone.
Speaker 0: At my comments here. Congratulations. This is ten years and I love the adjustments to the assessment, the focus on homelessness downtown and more outreach. These are certainly things that people care about. And again, the album is going to be an incredibly important partner moving forward. So congratulations to you. Members, please cast your vote or let's do the roll call vote.
