Speaker 6: Out of 13. That's communication with the office and Vice Mayor Robert Garcia, Councilmember Susan Lowenthal and councilmember James Johnson with the recommendation that the rec to request the city attorney to prepare a resolution in support of Senate Concurrent Resolution 115, which affirms support for the accomplishments of Senator Jenny Oropeza.
Speaker 1: All right, Mr. Vice Mayor.
Speaker 3: Thank you. This is just a basic resolution of support for a Senate bill. That Senate discussion is happening right now. As we all know, the late Senator Oropeza served our city council, served on the school board, got elected to the assembly, and then moved on to the state senate. She's served Long Beach very well from her early days at Cal State, Long Beach and and and beyond. And so this is just a way for us to support what's already happening and try to move it forward. I like the motion with that moving.
Speaker 1: Seconded any member of the Public District Council on this item? Mr.. Austin.
Speaker 11: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I fully support this. I think this is long overdue. Senator Peyser was a early role model and a very good friend of mine. She really introduced me in many respects to politics here in Long Beach when I was an aerospace worker with the UAW Local 148, and we were in support of her very first city council run. Became very close friends with her thereafter. Like I said, I support this greatly and I think it's long overdue. She made an indelible impression and having be the Freeway 17 freeway named after her, I think is appropriate.
Speaker 1: Mr. Johnson.
Speaker 10: Well, thank you, Mayor. And I will thank the vice mayor for inviting me to co-sponsor this item. Many of us knew Center or A and remember her many years of service from the Times and the school board to her time as state senator. And I think, you know, naming part of the 710 Freeway after her is particularly appropriate because of the many improvements we're in the process of making of that freeway. Many of you may know that we're talking about the future of that freeway, creating better air quality for our residents by incentivizing zero emissions goods movement, saving lives by making that freeway safer, particularly the lives of low income communities who disproportionately use this freeway. So I think center or a paisa would smile on us from from above. Thinking about her name will be a part of this freeway, which hopefully in the coming years will be part of saving lives for residents, decreasing congestion and also improving air quality, which I know overall goals of. Senator Peyser.
Speaker 1: All right. We have a motion in the second. Members cast your votes on item 13.
