Speaker 3: Thank you, Madam Clark. Mr. Clark, let's move on to the bid to commission appointment item. So let's start with item 19, please.
Speaker 1: Item 19 is a communication from Councilman Super, now chair of the Government Personnel and Election Oversight Committee. Recommendation to receive Charter Commission appointment and reappointment approved by the Government Personnel and Election Oversight Committee.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I'm loving our new committees already. Doing all this. Doing all this great work. Controversy or not? Do you have a motion on this being supported by the committee?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Miss. May I have my sticky mute button again tonight?
Speaker 3: So no problem.
Speaker 2: But let me get up. Okay. Okay. Can you. You can hear me now?
Speaker 3: Yes. Yes. I just wanted to make sure I know this is coming from your committee, so I just wanted to make sure that you had put the motion to approve.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I apologize for the audio problems, but yes, that is the most.
Speaker 3: Okay. Thank you so much. And then we have a second. So thank you. I can't remember. Want to just go ahead and thank the committee for moving forward these charter commission appointments. And I just want to briefly just mention who they are. I want to start by going through these new appointments. On these new appointments, we have the two for the Citizen Police Complaint Commission, the PCC. The first appointment is Irma Archuleta. Irma Archuleta is a Council District seven resident and she has a long and distinguished career in education. They really focus on outcomes for historically underserved populations. She served as a trustee of the Lombard City College and also was a former vice president at a community college and a longtime educator and advocate within the city. She has really focused her work to help immigrant students and has held numerous leadership roles across the region. And she's really committed to, of course, serving Long Beach with her experience. So congratulations to Ms.. Archuleta. And then also we have Melanie Von Melnick is a resident of Council District six and has served in the lobbyist community for over 20 years, most recently as a member of the Long Beach Human Trafficking Task Force. She's organized numerous fundraisers and community service events and also works with a lot of social enterprise programs that also works with artisans in Cambodia to implement fair wages and programs to empower families and learn skill sets to survive. And so they're going to both make wonderful additions to the PCC and I want to thank them also to the Civil Service Commission we have. Yvonne Wheeler. Yvonne is a Council District eight resident and she has dedicated her career standing up for workers. She currently serves as a worker advocate in her role as national representative for the American American Federation of Government Employees. Prior to this role, Yvonne served as an area field services director for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. Asked me where she worked with over 82 local unions and has been very active across the city and in numerous organizations. Also being appointed tonight to the Parks and Recreation Commission is Charlene Higa. Charlene is a resident of Council District five and a lifelong resident of Long Beach. She attended all the U.S. schools and is now an English teacher at Jordan High School. She has been teaching in North Long Beach since 2014. She strongly believes in multiculturalism and diversity, that their strengths within our city and really hopes that her experience in the classroom can even break more barriers on questions around equity and access for everyone. So she'll be a fantastic addition to Parks and Rec. And then to add to the KPCC, we are also doing a re-appointment of Dan McNish, which will be her second term. So those are the charter commission appointments. And with that, I want to thank everyone with that on the committee for moving these forward. I don't think that we do that. We have any public comment on this item, but we do have council comment. And so first up, I have a councilwoman as in the House.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to congratulate each and every one of these very impressive residents of Long Beach on their appointment tonight. Thank you so much for wanting to serve on these very, very, very important commissions. And. And best of luck. And I know you are going to bring so much value to this commission. So thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Councilor Marie Ringo.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mary. And I, too, want to lend my congratulations to the community members who have stepped up to volunteer on these important, very important committees for the city. So I want to congratulate them and thank you for their community service.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Vice Mayor Richardson.
Speaker 2: Just want to chime in. A great group of appointees on this list. And the next list, we're here. Congratulations to all of you. A lot of great north lobby folks that we see involved and look forward to welcoming you into these new commissions. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Councilman Mongo.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Very excited about our new fifth district commissioners. I'm proud that they are getting an opportunity to lead and be on a charter commission. It's not often that these change over. So we're really excited for the great work that you're going to do. Thank you.
