Renaming of Channel View Park to Ashlee's Park
For the reasons outlined below, the item renaming a section of Channel View Park to Ashlee’s Park in memory of Ashlee Armond should be revisited by the Government Operations and Efficiency Committee, who should forward their recommendations to the City Council for approval.
On August 9, 2022, City Council referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission, and the Government, Personnel and Elections Oversight Committee for consideration of renaming a section of Channel View Park to Ashlee’s Park in memory of Ashlee Armond.
On August 18, 2022, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended to the Government, Personnel and Elections Oversight Committee for consideration of renaming a section of Channel View Park to Ashlee’s Park in memory of Ashlee Armond and forward this item to the City Council for approval.
On August 23, 2022, the Government, Personnel and Elections Oversight Committee referred to the Public Health and Housing Committee for consideration of renaming a section of Channel View Park to Ashlee’s Park in memory of Ashlee Armond pursuant to Administrative Regulation AR8-7.
On February 21, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution No. RES-23-0026, which revised the list of City Council Standing Committees. This redefined the responsibilities of the Government Operations and Efficiency Committee (formerly Government, Personnel and Elections Oversight Committee) to include recommending the naming of City buildings and infrastructure.
As the Government Operations and Efficiency Committee is responsible for the naming of City buildings and infrastructure pursuant to RES-23-0026, the item renaming a section of Channel View Park to Ashlee’s Park in memory of Ashlee Armond no longer needs to be referred to the Housing and Public Health Committee (formerly Public Health and Housing Committee).

Fund Transfer: Signage in Honor of Ashlee Armond
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
C-7
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Parks, Recreation, and Marine Department by $1,150, offset by the Third Council District One-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department, to provide signage at Channel View Park in memory of Ashlee Armond; and,
Decrease appropriation in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $1,150, to offset a transfer to the Parks, Recreation, and Marine Department.
DISCUSSION:
I would like to honor Ashlee Armond and her family by installing a sign at Channel View Park in her memory, in partnership with the Long Beach Police Officers Association pending approval from their board on April 18th , 2023. Ashlee Armond, a graduate of Millikan High School, was 20 years old when she passed in a car accident at Channel View Park.
Ashlee is known for her kindness and care for others, her contagious sense of humor, and for lighting up every room she walked into. Ashlee is survived by Rich, her father and Long Beach Police Officer, Shelly, her mother, as well as her younger brother Andrew.
I am proud to carry this item forward as I know it was an important project started by former Councilmember Suzie Price.
This matter was reviewed by Budget Analyst Joe R. Guerrero on April 10, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide funds to the Parks, Recreation, and Marine Department to install signage at Channel View Park. The total appropriation increase of $1,150 in the General Fund Group in the Parks, Recreation, and Marine Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of Third Council District One-Time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the City Activities Department. This recommendation is anticipated to require a minimal level of staff hours beyond normal budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have minimal impact on existing City Council priorities. There is no local job impact associated with this item.
EQUITY LENS STATEMENT:
Staff will consider issues of equity and access with any program proposals brought forward to ensure the City's commitment for everyone reaching their highest level of health and potential for a successful life, regardless of background, neighborhood, or identity.
