Speaker 5: Item one is a communication from Councilman Alston. Recommendation to receive and file report on travel to Sacramento for the 2015 Long Beach State legislative trip.
Speaker 0: Councilmember Andrews. I'm sorry, Austin.
Speaker 9: Thank you for the motion in the second on the item.
Speaker 0: That's what I.
Speaker 1: Thought of.
Speaker 9: Councilmember Andrew. Councilmember Price. I do want to just I wanted to pull this item because I thought it was important enough to just to update the council as well as the public over the fact that the Mayor and I attended our annual trip to Sacramento advocating on behalf of the Long are our Long Beach State legislative agenda . We met with our Senate pro tem, Kevin de Leon. We met with Senator Laura. We met with Senators Hall and Janet Nguyen, all three senators who represent the city of Long Beach. We also represented met with our state assembly representatives, Patrick O'Donnell, Mike Gibson, and a representative from Assembly Member Renton's office. In addition to connecting with our members in Sacramento. We also sat down with the governor's office and the State Department of Finance to go over serious Long Beach issues. We highlighted two bills that were extremely important to the city that we are actually sponsoring this year. We have AB 204 authored by Assembly member O'Donnell, which would extend the authority of existing oversight boards in L.A. County and hopefully help continue to expand it to experience dissolution of former redevelopment agencies. We got some very positive news from the Department of Finance as well. We also have SB 562, yes, 562, like Long Beach, authored by Senator Lora. And this would specifically support our Civic Center project. I want to just say it was a very productive day. Our mayor exerted great leadership. We made a great statement, I think in the halls of the state legislature. Our friends and our representatives are working hard on our behalf there. We also have Mike Arnold and associates who are with us throughout the day and are working there on our behalf every day. And I would be very remiss if I did not recognize Diana Tang for her great efforts in putting this effort together. She is our staff who staffs the State Legislation Committee. And so we think I'm just going to ask everybody to give her a round of applause, which he did a great job.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Councilmember. That was very kind.
Speaker 9: With that, I've moved the item or it's been moved. I would ask for your support.
