Hello. As an advocate for both SB1137 (Gonzalez
and Limon) and AB1857 (C. Garcia), the spirit, intent,
and literal letter of these adopted state laws must be
reflected in the City of Long Beach's 2023 State
Legislative Agenda. The proposed language changes
to Section 3.2 on page 2 are welcome, but do not go
far enough: both SB1137 and AB1857 are rooted in
public health and environmental safety. The closure
of all oil and gas operations within 3200 ft (1km) from sensitive receptors, like the closure of an aging and
polluting facility harming low-income residents, have
clearly measurable health and safety outcomes of
benefit. Tracking those outcomes should be included
in this document in the Public Health section
(especially if the City of Long Beach is going to
include "asking for funding" in a state legislation and policy document), as should the benefits of unleaded
fuels and other environmental items.
Full support for Vision Zero, and striking all mentions of "near" from ZE.

1. Support SB1137, the oil well setback law, loudly
and unequivocally.
2. Decarbonize buildings:
Go beyond the general mention of green building in
Sections 1.5 and 4.1.
Why? ~56 CA cities have enacted building codes that
ban gas or mandate all-electric construction, but most
address only NEW construction.
But of ~121M housholds in the US, 69M have gas
furnaces, 61M gas water heaters, and 43M gas
stoves (RewiringAmerica.org). These have lifetimes of
~1~2 decades.
If we convert them as each machine reaches its end
of life, within a couple of decades we will have
decarbonized a good chunk of the economy.
3. Also be aggressive in funding and regulations to
help the Port of Long Beach decarbonize. Port
leadership is genuine in its drive to decarbonize, but is very limited since they are landlords, and don't own
the fossil-fueled machines that operate on their land.
Do NOT support expansion of liquefied natural gas
(LNG) facilities, trucking, or bunkering (shipping fuel) at the port.

I want to make a public comment regarding a gap in
the law for tenant protections for Just Cause in AB
1482 at the city, county, state, and federal level. I am experiencing wrongful termination of tenancy as result
of a gap within the law of AB 1482 - Tenant
Protections with Just Cause. AB 1482 protections
only apply to tenants who are able and willing to pay
for those protections to apply. AB 1482 can only
enforced to a landlord when a tenant is able and
willing to pay for it to be enforced to a landlord since it can only be enforced in state court. Landlords do not
face penalty for FALSELY claiming a
tenancy/residence is exempt from TPA lease
agreements, or termination of Tenancy notices. If
specific language outlined in the bill and a checkmark
+ proper notice is the only qualifier for exemption this gap in the bill is enabling landlords to terminate
tenancies without just cause since landlords don't
have penalties and tenants can't file a complaint and
must pay for it to apply.
