1. (22-0462) Recommendation to receive and file a
report from Mayor Garcia's travel to Washington,
D.C. with City and Port of Long Beach officials for
meetings with the City's federal legislative delegation and federal agencies.

Dave Shukla [email protected] Aw... did Robert Garcia type this up himself? Went to D.C., had some meetings.

About IIJA investments all, and uniquely, in his former Council District, gerrymandered into a "superdistrict" in contravention of the past 30-odd years of LB City Council governance and evolution...

With Port folks! Just-in-time to follow on some photo-ops on 4/28/22! How very droll.

Notably, whence running to replace a Congressman whose geographic base of support was cut in half (along the county line) in our State redistricting process?
Tell us, was one of the things discussed how to make the case that Robert Garcia's candidacy to succeed said Congressman would be what is "best for Long Beach" ?
Please explain, what happens if the people in this new Congressional District (#42! - meaning of life and Jackie Robinson, don't ya know?) decide that the conception of "what is best for Long Beach" is not what is best for them?
Got leave LB to best help LB, huh?
After this whole three terms nonsense?

As a father of a 13 year old and a 16 year old, both of whom like to hang out with me at playgrounds (with or without our dog), it seems utterly bizarre that
such familial diversions would suddenly be illegal. Why on earth would you make it
illegal for me to stand next to the swing set, talking with my daughter about her
school day or whatever, while she enjoys some time on the swings? All across the
city you are going to shut down such classic family activities? Really? And you
know that because the property destruction will be happening when nobody else is
around (and certainly no police will be around) all this ordinance will do is criminalize
quotidian activities, while undoubtedly doing little to actually prevent the problem you
are seeking to address.

Thank you for your time,

24. (22-0482) Recommendation to declare ordinance
amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by adding
Section 16.16.140 to Chapter 16.16 relating to
Prohibiting Adults Not Accompanying Children Under
The Age of 12 From Park Playgrounds, read the first
time and laid over to the next regular meeting of the
City Council for final reading. (Citywide)
Jeff Mallin [email protected] Dear Honorable City Council Members - I appreciate and support this new ordinance (authored by Councilwoman Allen in partnership with Councilmember Uranga and signed on to by Councilwoman Price, possibly among others) to protect kids' and the public's safe access to our parks. I think it strikes the right balance of free and unfettered access for all to our public parks as wonderful and needed recreational assets to our city, while creating designated safe zones for kids to play with each other. Like any of our ordinances and codes, enforcement is going to be key with added onus placed on the police, prosecutor, and attorney offices. That said, I expect warnings may be given at first as awareness grows around this sensible change. Thank you for the thoughtful consideration and coming up with such innovative solutions!
Sincerely,
- Jeff Mallin
A resident in the Bluff Park Historic District Neighborhood, located in Council District 2

It appears that this ordinance prohibits anyone older than 12 from using the equipment. Is this correct? Does this ordinance criminalize anyone who violates the ordinance? And who will be enforcing this? In my mind, this is an extreme measure to address a problem that should be able to be solved via some other action/alternative. 5/3/22
