Speaker 2: Thank you. 25.
Speaker 1: Communication from City Attorney Recommendation to adopt resolution in support of Long Beach hosting the National League of Cities 2018 City Summit.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I'm going to make let me make a couple of comments about this. This is actually pretty significant. And I know, Councilman, your WRANGHAM, I might want to make a couple comments as well. This council tonight adopting a resolution to support Long Beach, being the host of the National League of Cities Conference in 2018. I bring it up because I don't believe Long Beach has ever hosted the National League of Cities National Conference. This is actually a huge conference. It's the largest that the National Cities host every year. So we've been working on on attracting this conference of the city. I want to thank Steve Goodling at the CVB, who was very helpful with our team in bringing the conference to Long Beach. This will bring mayors, council members and other national federal staff from the executive branch of the White House to Long Beach. For this summit and for this conference, it is very prestigious for the city to have. We haven't done it before and it will bring national attention to our community and we'll be hosting hundreds of elected officials from across the country. And so it's it's very exciting. It's going to involve the city being very involved. But I but I do want to thank the National League of Cities as well as our CVB. I also want to thank Councilman Tauranga, who is our representative to the National League of Cities, and he may want to make some comments.
Speaker 3: Councilman Thank you, Mayor, and thank you for your support on this and this effort. You know, it's a rare opportunity that any city has to invite a national conference of any size into its location, into its city. And having been a member of a national organization in the past, I know how hard it is because some of these conferences are planned for five or six years in advance. And this opportunity that we have in 2018 is one that we just could not miss. And I want to thank you for your efforts. I, too, want to thank Steve Goodling from the CVB in their efforts to bring it to Long Beach. And I'm looking forward to having a good conference in Long Beach. Thank you.
