          AND THAT THE COMMITTEE WAS COMPLETELY IMPRESSED WITH HOW SECURE THE FACILITIES WILL BE, AS WELL AS THE OUTSTANDING JOB THAT HIS TEAM'S BEEN DOING.

          OKAY. 
          SO, GOOD EVENING. 
          UM, EVERYONE, FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR, UM, HAVING US HERE TODAY. 
          SO, UM, THE LAST TIME I THINK I WAS HERE PRESENTING IT WAS WHEN I WAS THE PUBLIC WORKS CENTER, THE PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          THAT WAS, THAT WASN'T AS FUN AS TODAY. 
          IT WAS MUCH FUN. 
          UH, SO THANKS AGAIN FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY. 
          UH, MY NAME IS JEZ OR GEORGE. 
          SINCE THE CITY MANAGER, LIKE TODD MENTIONED, WE, WE'LL HAVE TYLER HERE PRESENTING AS WELL. 
          WE'RE JUST HERE TO PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE CITY'S PREPARATIONS FOR THE OLYMPICS. 
          SO HERE'S OUR AGENDA FOR TODAY'S MEETING. 
          UM, SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE A BRIEF LOOK AT, UH, LONG BEACH'S OLYMPIC HISTORY. 
          I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT HISTORY, BUT WE'LL GO OVER IT AGAIN. 
          UM, THEN WE'LL GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE'RE AT WITH TODAY'S, UH, WITH PREPARATIONS AS OF TODAY. 
          UM, THEN WE'LL TOUCH ON OUR APPROACH TO THE CORE VISION AND GOALS, UH, FOR GAME GAMES FIGHTING, UM, INCLUDING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PRIORITIES. 
          UH, WE'LL DIVE INTO OUR INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE WE'VE ESTABLISHED AND, UM, SOME ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND HOW WE PLAN TO WORK TOGETHER AS A CITY TO PLAN FOR SUCCESSFUL GAMES. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, WE'LL TALK ABOUT SOME OF OUR NEXT STEPS AS WE STEER TOWARDS 2028. 
          HOPEFULLY YOU APPRECIATE OUR SPORTS INFLUENCE, UH, TITLES HERE, , SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME ON. 
          OKAY. 
          SO LONG BEACH IS NO STRANGER TO OLYMPIC EVENTS, AS I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW. 
          UM, IN FACT, THE CITY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OLYMPICS IS DEEPLY ROOTED. 
          UM, WE HAD EVENTS HERE IN 1932, SO, UM, RE STADIUM LAST TIME RE STADIUM HAD, UH, OLYMPIC EVENTS, AND THEN OF COURSE THE 1984 OLYMPICS AGAIN. 
          UM, AND THEN OTHER THAN THE OLYMPICS THEMSELVES, WE'VE ALSO HAD OLYMPIC TRIALS. 
          UM, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THE OLYMPIC, UH, TRIALS WERE LAST, UH, AT BELMONT POOL ? IT'S IMPRESSIVE. 
          60 AND 76 IS WHAT I FOUND. 
          SO THERE'S, THERE'S 
          [00:05:01]
TWO TIMES, UM, AND THEN AGAIN IN 2004 AT THE LONG BEACH CONVENTION CENTER, WHICH IS WHAT YOU SEE PICTURED HERE. 
          UM, SO CONTINUE WITH THAT TRADITION. 
          WE'RE SET TO PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN 2028 AS A VENUE CITY HOSTING THE LARGEST SUMMER OF EVENTS OUTSIDE OF LA. 
          UH, DURING THE GAMES, THE CITY WILL TRANSFORM ITS DOWNTOWN AND COASTAL AREAS INTO THE LONG BEACH SPORTS PARK, CREATING A VIBRANT HUB FOR BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND ATHLETES. 
          THIS PARK IS ONE OF FOUR PARTS IN THE GAMES CONCEPT, WHICH WILL HOST SEVERAL EVENTS, UM, THAT WILL DETAIL IN A BIT. 
          THE GAMES PLAN IS EXPECTED TO BE FINALIZED BY LATE 28 IN THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE WITH THE IOC VERY SOON. 
          SO THE EVENTS STILL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. 
          UM, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO, WHEN WE'RE GIVING THIS PRESENTATION, JUST KIND OF GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF, UH, UM, OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE WHOLE, UM, OLYMPIC ECOSYSTEM. 
          SO AT THE VERY TOP, WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE, OR THE IOC AND THE INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE, THE IPC. 
          SO THEY'RE THE GOVERNING BODIES THAT LEAD THE WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT FOR THE OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES. 
          THEY OVERSEE ALL ASPECTS OF THE GAMES AND THEY, UH, THEY ENSURE THAT THEY ADHERE TO THE OLYMPIC CHARTER. 
          UM, IN THE TOP LEFT, OR ACTUALLY THE, ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE THERE, YOU'LL SEE, UM, THE US OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE, OR THE US OPC, THEY'RE WHAT'S CONSIDERED A NATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE. 
          SO EVERY, UM, NATION THAT'S A PART OF THE, UH, OLYMPICS HAS THEIR OWN NOC. 
          SO ITS JOB IS TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL ATHLETES AND SELECT WHICH ATHLETES WILL ATTEND THE OLYMPIC GAMES. 
          THEY ALSO NOMINATE HOST CITIES FOR THE GAMES. 
          UM, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THERE YOU'LL SEE THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION. 
          THEY'RE THE AUTHORITIES ON DESIGN AND APPROVAL OF THE SPECIFIC SPORTS, INCLUDING RULES OF RULES AND FIELD TO PLAY. 
          SO I'M SURE MANY OF Y'ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH ROAD STATE, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. 
          UM, AND THEN RIGHT THERE IN THE, IN THE MIDDLE. 
          UM, SO RIGHT THERE YOU HAVE, UM, WHAT THE IOC ENTRU, THEY ENTRUST THE ORGANIZATION OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES TO THE NOC OF THE HOST COUNTRY. 
          SO THE NOC, THEY THEN FORM AN ORGANIZING COMMITTEE FOR THE, FOR THE GAMES, ALSO KNOWN AS AN OG. 
          UM, AND THEY'RE, THE OG IS BASICALLY ORGANIZED FOR EVERY OLYMPIC EVENT. 
          UM, AND THEY'RE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE OLYMPIC CHARTER, THEIR CONTRACT WITH THE IOC AND ANY INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE IOC EXECUTIVE BOARD. 
          SO FOR THE 2028 GAMES, THAT OG IS KNOWN AS LA 28. 
          UM, AND THEN ON THE, ON THE BOTTOM LEFT THERE YOU HAVE THE CITY OF LA. 
          THEY'RE THE HOST CITY AND THE FINANCIAL GUARANTOR OF THE, OF THE GAMES. 
          SO THEY'RE THE ONES HOSTING THE LARGEST NUMBER OF EVENTS, THE GREATEST NUMBER OF EVENTS. 
          AND THE ATHLETES VILLAGE. 
          UH, THE STATE IS ALSO CONSIDERED A FINANCIAL GUARANTOR. 
          SO, UM, LA SO IF THE OLYMPICS HAVE ANY COST OVERRUNS, CITY OF LA IS ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIRST 270 MILLION IN COST OVERRUNS. 
          AFTER THAT, THE STATE IS, UM, COMMITTED TO THE NEXT 270 MILLION. 
          UM, AND THEN AFTER THAT COMBINED 540 MILLION, THE CITY OF LA WOULD HAVE BASICALLY UNLIMITED FINANCIAL LIABILITY. 
          SO, UM, AS A HOST CITY, THAT'S, THAT'S A, THERE IS A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE FOR THE GAMES TO DO WELL FOR THEM. 
          UM, SO LONG BEACH, WE'RE RIGHT HERE ON THE RIGHT. 
          SO WE'RE A VENUE CITY FOR THE GAMES, MEANING WE HOST SPECIFIC EVENTS AND WE PROVIDE THE NECESSARY UNI MUNICIPAL SERVICES TO SUPPORT THEM, BUT WE'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OVERALL ORGANIZATION OF THE GAMES. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND SO IN THE GAMES ECOSYSTEM, THERE'S ALSO, UM, OUTSIDE OF JUST CITY PLANNING, THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF REGIONAL PLANNING THAT'S GOING ON. 
          SO I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HEARD, THERE'S BEEN, I THINK, A LOT OF CRITICISM OR, OR SKEPTICISM ABOUT A CAR FREE OLYMPICS. 
          BUT, UM, THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE'S COUNTING ON HAPPENING. 
          AND IN ORDER FOR THAT TO REALLY HAPPEN, UM, YOU'RE GONNA NEED, UH, SOME STRONG PLANNING FROM LA METRO. 
          SO RIGHT NOW THEY'RE WORKING ON THE GAMES OF MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION PLAN, UM, WHICH WE, UM, ARE ACTUALLY ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN COLLABORATING WITH THEM ON. 
          SO OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND LP TRANSIT ARE INVOLVED IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS NOW. 
          UM, AND THEN FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, WE HAVE OUR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS. 
          THEY'RE LEADING THE CHARGE ON THE ELEVATE 20 INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN, UM, WHICH WE'LL DETAIL A LITTLE BIT LATER ON IN THE PRESENTATION. 
          BUT FOR SOME OF THOSE MARQUEE PROJECTS THAT ARE PART OF, OF THE CITY INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN, LIKE SHORELINE DRIVE, REALIGNMENT, ENTRY, MAKER BRIDGE, UH, CITY STAFF AND PUBLIC WORKS ARE ALSO CONTINUOUSLY WORKING ON SUBMITTING GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDING. 
          SO THOSE ARE TECHNICALLY NOT, UM, OLYMPIC PROJECTS, BUT THEY'RE WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE PART OF THE ELEVATE 28 PLAN, WHICH IS PART OF A LARGER, BROADER, UH, LEGACY, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT. 
          UM, AND THEN TRYING TO LEVERAGE THE GAMES REALLY TO TRY TO OBTAIN THOSE, UH, THOSE, UH, FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. 
          UM, WE, WE SUBMIT APPLICATIONS ON OUR OWN THROUGH PUBLIC WORKS. 
          WE ALSO COLLABORATE WITH, UM, LA METRO AND CALTRAN FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. 
          ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY FRONT. 
          WE ALREADY HAVE STAFF THAT ARE ENGAGED IN REGIONAL DISCUSSIONS TO DEVELOP THE SECURITY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS THAT THAT WILL ENSURE A SAFE AND PEACEFUL EVENT. 
          SO AS A NATIONAL SPECIAL SECURITY EVENT, THE OLYMPICS ARE THAT BASICALLY THAT MEANS THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY HAS DESIGNATED THE OLYMPICS OF THE N MS SP. 
          UM, THE SECRET SERVICE IS ACTUALLY THE LEAD AGENCY IN CHARGE OF LEADING AND PLANNING THE, THE PUBLIC SAFETY EFFORT. 
          UM, AND ACTUALLY, UM, FEMA JUST HAD A MEETING THIS WEEK IN LA AND WE HAD, UM, SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS 
          [00:10:01]
ATTEND THAT. 
          SO THERE'S SEVERAL SUBCOMMITTEES. 
          UM, THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH THOSE PLANS NOW WHERE, UM, WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE INPUT ON THOSE PLANS AS WELL. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AND SO THIS IS JUST BASICALLY AN OVERVIEW OF ALL THE DIFFERENT MUNICIPAL SERVICES WE ANTICIPATE WE'LL BE PROVIDING AND, UH, TO, TO PREPARE FOR THE GAMES AND FOR THE EVENTS THEMSELVES. 
          SO SOME OF THESE ARE OBVIOUS, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE SECURITY, UH, PUBLIC HEALTH AND SANITATION, UH, PERMITTING LICENSES, UH, TRANSPORTATION, PARKING. 
          PARKING COULD BE A BIG ONE FOR SURE. 
          UM, AND THEN COMMUNICATIONS. 
          ONE THING THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE NEW TO OUR CITY, OR THAT IS NEW TO OUR CITY, IS PROTOCOL. 
          UM, SO WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING A PRO, THE CITY'S FIRST PROTOCOL OFFICER. 
          SO THEY'LL ACTUALLY BE IN CHARGE WITH HELPING, HELPING MANAGE OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH INTERNATIONAL DELEGATIONS. 
          SO I KNOW WE'LL HAVE PROBABLY A LOT OF INTERNATIONAL DELEGATIONS VISITING THE CITY OUTSIDE OF THE LA 20 STRUCTURE. 
          SO WE'LL BE PREPARED FOR, FOR THOSE VISITS. 
          AND WE ALSO KNOW, AS PART OF THE GAMES, A LOT OF CITIES HAVE LIKE, UH, DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WILL HAVE HOUSES IN DIFFERENT PLACES. 
          AND WE'RE HOPE HOPING THAT WE CAN BRING SOME OF THOSE HOUSES TO LONG BEACH AS WELL. 
          AND I THINK THIS PROTOCOL POSITION WILL HELP US WITH THAT. 
          AND THEN, UM, THE CITY LOOK AND WAY FINDING. 
          SO, UM, TECHNICALLY SO WITHIN THE VENUE SPACES THEMSELVES, LA 28 WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE, THE LOOK OF THE GAMES. 
          BUT OUTSIDE OF THE VENUE SPACES WILL REALLY, BEYOND THE CITY, THEY'LL PROVIDE A LOT OF THE, UM, THEY'LL PROVIDE US WITH THE LOOK THAT WE, THAT WE CAN USE AND LIKE THE STYLE KIND OF GUIDE. 
          UM, BUT IT WOULD REALLY BE UP TO THE CITY TO DECIDE WHERE WE WANT TO PLACE THAT SIGN ENGINE BRANDING. 
          AND SO WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO LIKE REALLY MAKE THE GAMES FEEL LIKE THEY'RE HAPPENING THROUGHOUT LONG BEACH SHIP. 
          WE'RE STRATEGIC ABOUT WHERE WE KIND OF PLACE THAT SIGN ENGINE WAVE . 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AND THEN HERE'S JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE DIFFERENT VENUES AND VETS. 
          SO CONVENTION CENTER, UH, IS GONNA HOST HANDBALL WATER POLO R 2 6 20, WHICH IS USED TO BE SYNCHRONIZED ONE, I GUESS IT'S A RECENT NAME CHANGE. 
          UM, PARA PARA SWIMMING AS WELL. 
          AND THEN ALAMEDO BEACH IS GONNA HAVE MARATHON SWIMMING AND TRIATHLON, AND THEN BELMONT SHORE WHILE SAILING MARINE STADIUM CANOE, SPRINT AND AR. 
          SO WE EXPECT LA 28 TO ANNOUNCE MORE METS ACROSS THE REGION LATER THIS YEAR. 
          MOVING THE PARALYMPICS WE ANTICIPATE WILL HOPEFULLY BE A, A BIG PARALYMPIC CUP. 
          UM, AND THEN AS THE VENUES AND EVENTS ARE FINALIZED, WE ALSO ANTICIPATE, UM, AND I WAS JUST TALKING TO JOE ABOUT THIS, THERE'LL BE OTHER EVENTS THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE LEAD UP TO 2028 THAT LIKE, UH, THERE'S DIFFERENT SAILING EVENTS THAT WILL COME. 
          THERE'S TEST EVENTS THAT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN IN 2027. 
          SO IF YOU EXPECT OTHER ACTIVITY, UM, AROUND THE EVENTS AS WELL, UH, IN ANTICIPATION OF PLAYING GAME. 
          ALRIGHT, NOW PASS ON TAYLOR, UH, TYLER, TALK ABOUT THE GAMES AGREEMENT. 
          ALRIGHT, WELL GOOD EVENING. 
          I GET THE FUN STUFF. 
          YOU GET TO, UH, YOU KNOW, GET TO WALK YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, BASELINE AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE WITH LA 28 THAT WILL, UM, KIND OF FORM OUR PARTNERSHIP FOR THESE GAMES. 
          UH, THE MAIN ONE THAT WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH LA 28 WAS EARLIER THIS YEAR, UM, WHICH IS CALLED THE GAMES AGREEMENT. 
          AND BASICALLY WHAT THAT DOES IS IT ESTABLISHES THE CORE FRAMEWORK FOR OUR PARTNERSHIP, UM, BETWEEN THE CITY AND LA 28. 
          SO A LOT OF THE CORE MUNICIPAL SERVICES THAT JORGE WAS TALKING ABOUT, THE CITY IS A LITTLE TOWARDS HIM. 
          MIC, I CAN HEAR FINE PROJECTION. 
          CAN YOU HEAR IT BETTER NOW? YEAH. 
          OH, WAY. 
          START OVER. 
          . 
          COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. 
          I GUESS I CAN HEAR IT JUST FINE, BUT, UH, ALRIGHT. 
          UH, SO GOOD EVENING, . 
          UH, WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS OUR CORE AGREEMENT AND FRAMEWORK WITH, UH, OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH LA 28. 
          SO THE CORE FRAMEWORK IS REALLY ROOTED IN OUR GAMES AGREEMENT, WHICH WE, UH, AGREED TO EARLIER THIS YEAR. 
          AND WHAT THIS DOES IS IT SETS OUT THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND LA 28, UM, THE CORE MUNICIPAL SERVICES THAT WE'RE GONNA BE PROVIDING AS PART OF THE, UH, OR AS BEING A VENUE CITY AND, UH, WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM LA 28. 
          SO A NUMBER OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE GAMES AGREEMENT ARE PROBABLY NOT ALL THAT, UH, INTERESTING FOR ALL OF YOU. 
          UM, BUT WANTED TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION IN THE SLIDES. 
          SO IF YOU'RE CURIOUS AND WE CAN ANSWER, YOU KNOW, MORE QUESTIONS AS WELL. 
          BUT ULTIMATELY WHAT IT DOES IS, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE CORE THINGS THAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN IS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE LONG-TERM LEGACY, UM, AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS AS PART OF THE GAMES. 
          SO NOT JUST A COUPLE WEEKS THAT WE HAVE THE OLYMPICS, A COUPLE WEEKS THAT WE'VE GOT THE PARALYMPICS, BUT THAT WE'RE THINKING LONG-TERM. 
          WHAT ARE SOME OF OUR CORE, UH, PRIORITIES AND INVESTMENTS THAT WE CAN SEE AS PART OF THE GAMES. 
          UM, ALSO LOOKING AT WAYS TO EXPAND TOURISM OPPORTUNITIES ALONG WITH THE GAMES. 
          UM, AND THEN A NUMBER OF OTHER, UM, ASPECTS OF OUR AGREEMENT AND PARTNERSHIP ARE LAID OUT IN THIS GAMES AGREEMENT. 
          SO, UM, WE, ONE WANTED TO ADVOCATE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE COMMUNITY 
          [00:15:01]
BENEFITS AS PART OF THIS GAMES AGREEMENT. 
          THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHER VENUE CITIES THAT WERE TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING OR, UH, SUPPORT FROM LA 28, WHICH NONE OF THE VENUE CITIES REALLY GOT. 
          UH, BUT WE DID WANNA MAKE SURE IN OUR CASE AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE LANGUAGE IN THERE IN CASE ANY OTHER VENUE CITY GOT A BETTER DEAL THAN US, ESSENTIALLY WE WOULD GET THE SAME DEAL THAT THEY WOULD, UH, AGREE TO IF IT'S LATER OR AFTER WE COME TO OUR AGREEMENT. 
          SO NOTHING HAS CHANGED REALLY FROM THIS, BUT JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY BENEFIT IS ONE OF THE KEY FRAMEWORKS THAT WE HAVE IN MIND AS WE'RE WORKING AND PARTNERING WITH LA 28. 
          AS JORGE MENTIONED, OBVIOUSLY SAFETY, PUBLIC SAFETY IS GONNA BE ONE OF THE CORE ACTIONS THAT THE CITY HAS TO UNDERTAKE. 
          WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO COORDINATE NOT JUST WITH OUR PD, FIRE, PUBLIC HEALTH, UM, AND OTHER FOLKS, BUT ALSO, UM, BRINGING IN ADDITIONAL CAPACITY OF COURSE THROUGHOUT THE REGION. 
          AND, UM, ESSENTIALLY HAVING A SYSTEM OF MUTUAL AID WITH OTHER, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU KNOW, AGENCIES AND, UM, YOU KNOW, PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. 
          SO, UH, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL BE UNDERTAKING IN THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS IS THINKING ABOUT WHAT OUR STAFFING UP PLAN IS, HOW WE'RE GONNA COORDINATE WITH THOSE OTHER AGENCIES TO GET THE LEVEL OF PUBLIC SAFETY, UM, STAFFING THAT WE NEED FOR THE GAME. 
          ONE THING THAT'S IN THE GAMES AGREEMENT IS CITY ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES AND BRANDING. 
          SO, UM, THE, UM, THE RINGS, THE OLYMPIC RINGS OBVIOUSLY ARE PROPRIETARY. 
          WE CAN'T JUST PUT THOSE ON EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT. 
          UM, AND, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH LA 28 ANYTIME WE UTILIZE THEIR BRANDING, BUT WE ALSO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO POTENTIALLY GAIN REVENUE AS A CITY ON, UH, YOU KNOW, BUS STOPS OR OTHER BILLBOARDS THAT THE CITY OWNS, UM, THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY SELL IN TERMS OF, UM, ADVERTISING SPACE. 
          SO THAT'S OUTLINED IN THE, UH, GAMES AGREEMENT AS WELL. 
          IN TERMS OF TOURISM, UH, OBVIOUSLY WE EXPECT, UH, A LOT OF FOLKS TO COME HERE FOR THE OLYMPICS. 
          UM, AND NOT JUST FOR THE GAMES THEMSELVES, BUT IN PREPARATION, UH, EVEN FOLKS THAT WANT TO COME HERE FOR THESE TEST EVENTS THAT JORGE WAS TALKING ABOUT, OR, UM, EXPERIENCE THIS AREA IN THE LEAD UP TO THE GAMES. 
          OBVIOUSLY THERE WILL BE A LOT OF EFFORT TO, UM, EXPAND OUR TOURISM, UH, SECTOR AND IN THE LEAD UP TO IT. 
          UM, I KNOW THE MAYOR AND, AND OUR CITY COUNCIL ARE VERY EXCITED TO, UM, YOU KNOW, EXPAND OUR EFFORTS TO BRING MORE HOTEL SPACES TO DOWNTOWN IN PARTICULAR. 
          UM, BUT THIS WILL BE A POTENTIALLY A LONG-TERM LEGACY IMPACT OF THE OLYMPICS AS WELL. 
          UM, ONE THING OUR CITY MANAGER ALWAYS LIKES TO SAY, UH, IS LOOKING AT THE EXAMPLE OF BARCELONA. 
          BEFORE BARCELONA HAD THE OLYMPICS, THEY HAVE ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF, UH, TOURISTS PER YEAR. 
          WE ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN THAT. 
          UM, BUT AFTER THE OLYMPICS, THEY SAW A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN TOURISM FOLLOWING THE OLYMPICS, AND THEN EVEN TO TODAY, UM, MULTIFOLD INCREASE IN TOURISM. 
          SO WE HOPE THAT WITH THE OLYMPICS WE'LL HAVE, UM, ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF SHOWCASE LONG BEACH TO THE WORLD. 
          AND WE'RE NOT JUST THE BEST KEPT SECRET, BUT WE CAN BE KIND OF INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN AND WE WILL HAVE MORE FOLKS COMING HERE AFTER THE OLYMPICS AS WELL. 
          UM, SO AS JORGE MENTIONED, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING TO COORDINATE AND PARTNER ON ISSUES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION. 
          UH, WE ARE NOT THE LEAD, UH, AGENCY WHEN IT COMES TO THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT'S LA METRO, BUT WE'RE GONNA BE INTEGRAL TO THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND, AND WORKING WITH THEM ON, UH, A VARIETY OF THINGS LIKE WITH OUR PORTS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, PORTS OF LA AND LONG BEACH ARE GONNA HAVE IMPACTS POTENTIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO HOW DO THEY ENSURE THE FLOW OF GOODS AND, UH, YOU KNOW, TRUCKS DURING THE GAMES. 
          UM, WE WANT TO BE A PART OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR PARTNERS, UM, YOU KNOW, CAN WORK THROUGH THE POTENTIAL CHALLENGES THAT COME ALONG WITH, UM, HOSTING BIG SPECIAL EVENTS LIKE THIS. 
          UM, WE ALSO, OF COURSE, HAVE A PRIORITY, UM, AROUND SU SUSTAINABILITY. 
          SO, UH, I KNOW CITY OF LA AND LA 28 ALSO DID. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA BE DOING OUR PART TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GAMES THEMSELVES ARE SUSTAINABLE, UM, AND THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE, UM, WE'RE REDUCING SINGLE WASTE PLASTICS AND, UH, WASTE AND EVERYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT. 
          UM, AGAIN, PROBABLY NOT OF INTEREST TO THIS GROUP, BUT, UH, OTHER ASPECTS OF THE GAMES AGREEMENT ARE REALLY JUST BASIC, UH, PARTNERSHIPS AROUND MAKING SURE THAT THE CITY IS DOING OUR PART TO, UH, REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF UNAUTHORIZED TRADING. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY LA 28 IS CONCERNED ABOUT, UH, KNOCKOFF GOODS BEING SOLD RIGHT NEXT TO THE EVENT VENUES. 
          UM, AND THAT'S PARTIALLY A CITY RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE WE'RE ENFORCING OUR, UH, VENDING REQUIREMENTS. 
          UM, AND THEN OF COURSE, BEING A PARTNER WHEN IT COMES TO PERMITTING AND ZONING. 
          SO THAT'S THE CORE GAMES 
          [00:20:01]
FRAMEWORK, UH, GAMES AGREEMENT. 
          AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER AGREEMENTS THAT, UM, IN A NUTSHELL ARE REALLY JUST AIMED AT FINDING, UM, OUR COST RECOVERY MODEL. 
          SO, UM, ULTIMATELY THIS COMING YEAR WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH LA 28 TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT THAT'S CALLED THE NORMAL AND CUSTOMARY SERVICES. 
          AND ALL THIS DOES IS SAY, WITHOUT THE GAMES, WHAT WOULD BE THE CORE SERVICES THAT THE CITY WOULD BE PROVIDING IN THE AREAS WHERE THE VENUES WILL TAKE PLACE, UH, FROM PUBLIC SAFETY TO WASTE MANAGEMENT AND SO ON. 
          AND THAT KIND OF SETS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT WE WOULD JUST GENERAL, UH, GENERALLY PROVIDE IN TERMS OF SERVICES IN THOSE AREAS. 
          AND ANYTHING ABOVE THAT, UM, IS WHAT THEY'RE CALLING ENHANCED CITY, ENHANCED CITY RESOURCES MASTER AGREEMENT. 
          UM, BUT ULTIMATELY ALL THAT IS SAYING THAT ANYTHING ABOVE THOSE NORMAL AND CUSTOMARY SERVICES, WE WANT COST RECOVERY. 
          WE WANT LA 28 TO REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL COSTS. 
          SO ANY ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY, ANY ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO MAKE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE MUNICIPAL SERVICES DURING THE GAMES, UM, WILL BE RECOVERED THROUGH THIS NEGOTIATION AND AGREEMENT WITH LA 28. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF WORDS ON THIS SLIDE, BUT THAT'S THE MAIN FOCUS, IS MAKING SURE THAT WE GET COST RECOVERY FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL SERVICES THAT WE'RE PROVIDING, UH, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THESE GAMES IN LONG BEACH. 
          UM, AND THEN THE LAST ONE I'LL TALK ABOUT IS FOR THE SPECIFIC VENUES. 
          SO WE STARTED THAT PROCESS, UM, AFTER WE CAME TO THE GAMES AGREEMENT, AND, UH, IT STARTS WITH, THERE'S SO MANY ACRONYMS AND TITLES AND EVERYTHING, BUT ULTIMATELY ALL THIS MEANS WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GUARANTEEING SPECIFIC VENUES FOR LA 28 TO UTILIZE. 
          UM, AND JORGE ALREADY WALKED THROUGH THE FOUR OF THEM, UH, BUT WE'LL SHOW YOU SOME IMAGES THAT THEY MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO ENVISION WHAT THE, UH, OLYMPICS FOOTPRINT IS GONNA LOOK LIKE. 
          UH, SO WE HAVE AGREED TO A VENUE USE GUARANTEE. 
          SO LA 28 OBVIOUSLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, THEY HAD SOME ASSURANCES IN PLACE BEFORE THEY ANNOUNCED THE SPECIFIC EVENTS THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO UTILIZE VENUES NOT JUST IN LONG BEACH, BUT THROUGHOUT THE REGION. 
          UM, ONE OF THEM IS THE CONVENTION CENTER, SO THIS IS THE GENERAL FOOTPRINT OF THE, UH, THE VENUE THAT THEY WANT TO UTILIZE AT THE CONVENTION CENTER. 
          UM, AND AS JORGE MENTIONED, WE'LL HAVE, AT LEAST AT THIS POINT, WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING IS HANDBALL IN THE ARENA. 
          AND THEN LA 28 WOULD DEVELOP A TEMPORARY POOL IN THE ELEPHANT PARKING LOT OR THE SURFACE PARKING LOT RIGHT NEXT TO THE CONVENTION CENTER FOR WATER POLO AND ARTISTIC SWIMMING RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, UH, WILL BE WHERE WE HAVE MARATHON SWIMMING AND TRIATHLON SWIMMING. 
          AND, UM, WHERE LA 28 WOULD ALSO BE POTENTIALLY DEVELOPING TEMPORARY KIND OF VIEWING STATIONS ALONG THE BEACH AREA. 
          UM, GO FURTHER DOWN THE BEACH IS, UH, RIGHT NEXT TO BELMONT SHORE WILL HAVE SAILING VIEWING AS WELL. 
          SO THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF THE POTENTIAL FOOTPRINT FOR THAT VENUE. 
          AND THEN LAST IS MARINE STADIUM. 
          UM, SO A FEW THINGS WE WANTED TO MENTION. 
          THIS KIND OF INTERESTING HISTORY OF, UH, THE USE OF MARINE STADIUM. 
          NOT ONLY, UH, WAS MARINE STADIUM USED IN 1932, AS YOU ALL KNOW, BUT, UM, ROWING HAD TO CHANGE ITS SPORT IN ORDER TO UTILIZE MARINE STADIUM FOR, UH, THE 2028 OLYMPICS. 
          THEY HAD TO SHORTEN THE, UH, COURSE TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT THEY REALLY WANTED TO BE HERE AND TO HAVE ROWING HERE IN LONG BEACH AS OPPOSED TO IN PARIS, P-E-R-R-I-S, UM, , BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE CAN DRAW A LOT MORE PEOPLE TO LONG BEACH INTO THIS, UM, YOU KNOW, HISTORIC STRUCTURE. 
          SO JUST TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF ADDITIONAL CONTEXT HERE ON THIS SLIDE THAT I THINK MIGHT BE OF INTEREST TO THIS GROUP IS AROUND, UH, THEY HAD TO SHORTEN THE COURSE FOR THE, FOR THE ROWING SPORT. 
          UM, AND YOU CAN SEE JUST SOME OF THE, UH, NEEDS FOR WHAT THEY'RE DOING, UM, OR WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING IS ESSENTIALLY BEFORE THE DAVIES BRIDGE, HAVING THAT AS THE MAIN COMPETITION AREA. 
          AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE WOULD BE FOR WARMUPS AND THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          CAN WE ASK QUESTIONS OR WE, TILL THERE? WELL, WE, YEAH, WE CAN HAVE MORE OF A DIALOGUE AFTERWARDS IF THAT WORKS. 
          AND WE CAN COME BACK TO THE SIDE. 
          IT'LL BE THAT SLIDE THAT THEY'LL BE THE MOST QUESTIONS ON AS SURE I'M ANTICIPATING, BUT WE'LL NEED TO GO BACK TO THAT ONE LATER. 
          YEAH, THAT WORKS. 
          IS THAT OKAY? WE'LL COME BACK. 
          UM, WELL, AND THIS MIGHT HELP, UM, ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ALSO VERY INTERESTED IN, OF COURSE, IS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR, UM, THE COMMUNITY'S INTERESTS IN THESE NEGOTIATIONS WITH LA 28. 
          UM, UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DETAILS YET FROM 
          [00:25:01]
LA 28 IN TERMS OF HOW THEY PLAN TO, UM, DEVELOP OUT EACH VENUE SPACE. 
          ALL WE KNOW AT THIS POINT IS THE GENERAL PERIMETER THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT AND SOME, UM, PRETTY HIGH LEVEL INFORMATION THAT WE'RE, THAT WE PROVIDED HERE AND WE'VE PROVIDED THE COUNSEL BEFORE. 
          UM, BUT ALONG THE WAY, OBVIOUSLY WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF IMPACTS ON OUR COMMUNITY, ON OUR BUSINESSES, RESIDENTS, BOAT OWNERS, OTHERS. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, PART OF THAT IS, YOU KNOW, WE, WE DO ANTICIPATE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE ACTUAL GAMES, OF COURSE THERE WILL BE IMPACTS. 
          UM, WE DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT THOSE IMPACTS MIGHT LOOK LIKE, THE TIMES AND THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          BUT, UM, ULTIMATELY WITH ANY SPECIAL EVENT, AND WE HOSTED A NUMBER OF SPECIAL EVENTS, UM, THAT IMPACT, YOU KNOW, THE MARINAS DOWNTOWN AND OTHER RESIDENCES AND BUSINESSES. 
          AND WE ALWAYS WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MINIMIZE THOSE IMPACTS AND PROVIDE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE, UH, THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS SO THAT WE CAN BE AS TRANSPARENT WHEN WE GET INFORMATION, UM, TO SHARE THAT WITH THE POTENTIALLY IMPACTED COMMUNITY. 
          BUT, UM, THIS IS JUST ULTIMATELY WANTING TO, UH, YOU KNOW, LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE COMMITTED, OF COURSE, TO ADVOCATING FOR, UM, MINIMIZING THOSE IMPACTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, SHARING AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN WHEN WE GET IT. 
          UM, BUT WE ARE KIND OF IN A HOLDING PATTERN, UH, AT THIS POINT, WAITING FOR LA 28 TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THEY EVEN, UH, PLAN TO ROLL OUT THE TEMPORARY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THEY'LL DEVELOP WITHIN THOSE, UH, EVENT FOOTPRINTS. 
          WE ALSO NEED TO BE ABLE TO GO TO COASTAL COMMISSION TO GET THEIR APPROVAL, UH, FOR ANY PERMITTING THAT'S REQUIRED. 
          SO THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG PROCESS. 
          UM, A LOT OF ITERATION WILL WANT COMMUNITY INPUT ALONG THE WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MINIMIZING THOSE IMPACTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          UM, AND I'LL PASS IT BACK OVER TO JORGE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING INTERNALLY, UH, WITH OUR CITY PLANNING. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, SO JUST GONNA TALK, TALK TO YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, HOW WE'VE BEEN FRAMING OUR THOUGHT PROCESS OF PLANNING FOR THE GAMES. 
          UM, I THINK WE ALL REALIZED PRETTY QUICKLY THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. 
          UM, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYONE STILL WORKING IN CITY GOVERNMENT WHO'S PROBABLY AROUND IN 84. 
          UM, I'M PRETTY SURE EVERYONE'S, EVERYONE'S LONG GONE, PROBABLY EVEN 96 IN ATLANTA. 
          I DON'T THINK THERE'S BEEN ANYONE AROUND ANYMORE. 
          SO IT WAS ALL NEW TO ALL OF US. 
          SO VERY EARLY WE, WE THOUGHT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO GO OUT AND GET SOME, YOU KNOW, GET SOME EXPERTS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THIS BEFORE AND HELP US MAKE SURE THAT THEY COME IN AND THEY HELP US, UM, REALIZED LIKE, WHAT SHOULD, WHAT SHOULD WE BE THINKING ABOUT? HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE WE'RE, WE'RE BEING THOUGHTFUL ABOUT OUR PROCESS? SO WHAT WE DID IS WE BASICALLY WENT OUT AND, UM, WE, UM, WE, UM, WENT, WE ENTERED TO A CONTRACT WITH, UH, KPMG, WHICH IS LIKE A LARGE, UM, INTERNATIONAL FIRM, AND WE BROUGHT THEM IN TO HELP US, UM, BASICALLY DEVELOP A STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING ON NOW. 
          SO WE ARE PRETTY MUCH CLOSE TO FINALIZING IT. 
          WE ANTICIPATE, UM, WE WILL, WE'LL HAVE IT TO COUNCIL PROBABLY EARLY NEXT YEAR, SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE HERE WILL BE ABLE TO VIEW AS WELL. 
          SO WE'RE BASICALLY WORKING THROUGH THAT. 
          WE'RE FINALIZING THAT PLAN NOW. 
          SO, UM, AND KPMG, THEY, THEY HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH MAJOR EVENTS. 
          THEY HAVE, UM, STAFF THAT HAVE, UM, PLANNED, UM, OVER A DOZEN OLYMPIC EVENTS LIKE BOTH SUMMER AND WINTER. 
          UM, THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH COMMONWEALTH GAMES, PAN-AMERICAN GAMES PEOPLE, WORLD CUP ASIAN GAMES, RUGBY WORLD CUP STUFF. 
          THEY DEFINITELY KNOW A LOT MORE IN THIS SPACE. 
          AND THEN WE SO DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THEIR SUPPORT. 
          UM, SO WE OFFICIALLY KICKED OFF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN EFFORT WITH 'EM, UM, BACK IN MARCH OF 2024. 
          UM, WHEN WE, WE BASICALLY WORKED WITH 'EM, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DID, WE WORKED WITH 'EM TO DEVELOP OUR CORE VISION AND GOALS, UH, WHICH WERE, WHICH WAS HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY A LOT OF THE PLANNING WORK THAT THE CITY I HAD ALREADY DONE, WHICH YOU SEE, YOU SEE HERE ALL THE DIFFERENT STRATEGIC PLANS WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE, ESPECIALLY OUR, UM, UH, 2030 STRATEGIC VISION RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. 
          THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S, THAT'S KEY FOR US. 
          SO, UM, BASICALLY WE, THE CORE THINGS WE, WE CAME TO IN THE PLAN WERE GROUNDED IN EQUITY, PUBLIC SAFETY AND LEGACY. 
          UM, AND THEN IMPACTS ON ARTS AND CULTURE, TOURISM, SMALL BUSINESS AND YOUTH ENGAGEMENT. 
          THOSE ARE ALL BIG, BIG PRIORITIES FOR US. 
          UM, AND THEN IN THE PLAN TOO, WE, UM, WE WANTED TO LOOK AT LIKE HOW WE SHOULD STRUCTURE OUR PLANNING, UM, IN DIFFERENT PHASES. 
          SO BASICALLY THIS TIMELINE GIVES YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE PHASE APPROACH WE'RE TAKING. 
          UM, SO THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO, UM, THE FRAMEWORK THAT THE IOC USES. 
          IT ALSO WAS USED FOR THE, THE TOKYO GAMES. 
          SO THIS YEAR, CURRENTLY WE'RE IN THE FOUNDATION PHASE. 
          SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE, UM, FINALIZING THE PLAN, UM, WORKING ON OUR INTERNAL GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE. 
          AND THEN NEXT YEAR WE'LL REALLY START SHIFTING INTO THE OPERATIONAL PLANNING. 
          SO WE'LL START ADDRESSING LIKE THE ESSENTIAL SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC SAFETY, WHICH WE'RE ALREADY ENGAGED IN NOW, BUT HOPEFULLY GETTING A LOT MORE SPECIFICS. 
          AND THEN AS WE GET CLOSER TO 2028, WE WILL ENTER THE TESTING AND DELIVERY PHASE. 
          SO THAT INCLUDES 
          [00:30:01]
THE READINESS EXERCISES, THE TEST EVENT WE MENTIONED EARLIER, AND THEN, UM, LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN IMPLEMENT CULTURAL PROGRAMS AS WELL, UM, WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY LEAD TO MORE LEGACY TYPE BENEFITS. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, AFTER THE GAMES IN 28, WE'LL ENTER THE DISILLUSION PHASE. 
          UM, THEN WE'LL WRAP UP WITH THAT. 
          THAT'LL BASICALLY WRAP UP ANY, UM, OUTSTANDING CONTRACTS, DECOMMISSIONING VENUES, UM, THEN EVALUATING THE GAME'S IMPACT TO ENSURE WE HOPEFULLY HAVE A SUSTAINABLE LEG LEGACY FOR THE CITY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND THEN, UM, ANOTHER, ANOTHER BIG LEGACY TO SEE IMPACT OF THE GAMES REALLY, WHICH, WHAT I MENTIONED EARLIER IS THAT OUR ELEVATE 20 INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN. 
          SO THIS IS REALLY A, UM, IT'S NOT REALLY, UM, CONSIDERED TO BE OLYMPIC SPECIFIC, BUT, UM, IT'S REALLY IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE OLYMPICS. 
          AND THIS IS A FIVE YEAR INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN, UM, THE, THE LARGEST INFRASTRUCTURE POSITIVITY EVER, UH, BEFORE. 
          SO AS A PART OF THAT, THIS YEAR'S BUDGET COUNCIL ACTUALLY INCREASE THAT, UH, THAT AMOUNT TO OVER 930 MILLION OF PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT. 
          UM, SO THAT PLAN INCLUDES OVER 180 PROJECTS, UM, AND THEN VARIOUS RIGHT OF WAY IMPROVEMENTS. 
          UM, AND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, THERE, THERE'S DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. 
          SO WE SPECIFICALLY HAVE A 2028 OLYMPIC LEGACY CATEGORY, AND WITHIN THAT CATEGORY THERE'S A $210 MILLION INVESTMENT. 
          AND THEN THIS IS A MAP. 
          UM, AND THIS IS ALL AVAILABLE ONLINE. 
          THERE'S ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD, UM, ELEVATE 28 WEBSITE I RECOMMEND EVERYONE VISIT THAT ACTUALLY HAS ALL THESE PROJECTS LISTED AS A MAP OF WHERE ALL THE PROJECTS ARE LOCATED, UM, TIMELINES, UM, BUDGETS, EVERYTHING. 
          SO VERY, VERY INFORMATIVE. 
          BUT THIS IS A MAP THAT SHOWS ALL THE 2020 OLYMPIC LEGACY PROJECTS. 
          SO THESE INCLUDE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS, UM, AIRPORT CONVENTION CENTER IMPROVEMENTS, AND THEN WATER QUALITY ENHANCEMENTS AT ALAMITOS BAY. 
          AND THEN WE'RE ALSO THINKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, UM, THROUGH OUR PLANNING. 
          UM, SO WHAT I'M PROBABLY THE MOST EXCITED ABOUT PERSONALLY, UM, I DIDN'T GET TO GO TO PARIS, BUT I HEARD A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE WHO DID. 
          AND ACTUALLY MAYOR BASS, UH, COORDINATED AN AFTER ACTION SUMMIT, UM, A FEW WEEKS AGO AT AN EXPOSITION CENTER. 
          AND SHE ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO BRING, UM, A LOT OF THE TEAM FROM THE CITY OF PARIS THAT WORKED ON THE PLANNING. 
          UM, IT WAS LIKE A TWO DAY, UH, WORK WORKSHOP WHERE THEY BASICALLY WENT THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THEY WORKED ON. 
          AND, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS THEY, THEY REALLY BROUGHT THE OLYMPICS, UH, TO THE WHOLE CITY OF PARIS BY REALLY ENGAGING, UM, THE COMMUNITY IN, UH, WHAT THEY CALL LIKE THESE FESTIVAL SITES. 
          SO THEY REALLY HAD LIKE FESTIVAL SITES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND THEN DURING THE GAMES OF THE PARALYMPICS, THEY HAD ALL THESE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES GOING ON. 
          THEY WERE ENGAGING FAMILIES, THEY WERE ENGAGING, UM, THEY WERE TEACHING FOLKS ABOUT, UH, PARALYMPICS AND LETTING PEOPLE EXPERIENCE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO EVEN TRY, UH, WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, UM, HOPEFULLY DOING SOME THINGS SIMILAR IN LONG BEACH, UM, AND REALLY KIND OF SPREADING, SPREADING THE OLYMPIC SPIRIT OUT TO THE WHOLE CITY SO THAT EVEN IF THERE'S FOLKS IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE CITY WHO AREN'T ABLE TO ATTEND OLYMPIC EVENTS, THEY'LL STILL FEEL LIKE THEY WERE PART OF IT. 
          SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT PIECE. 
          THEN WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT ESTABLISHING COMMUNITY LED COMMITTEES TO ENGAGE, UH, ALL THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS WHO WE KNOW WE HAVE IN THE CITY. 
          I KNOW IN THIS COMMUNITY THERE'S EXPERTS WHO KNOW ALL ABOUT SAILING, ALREADY ROWING STUFF ALREADY, WHICH I'M LEARNING A LOT MYSELF. 
          SO REALLY HOW CAN, WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND, AND MAKE IT A PART OF A PROCESS AS WELL. 
          AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'RE, WE'RE THINKING THAT WILL MAYBE LEAD TO ESTABLISHING A FOUNDATION FOR LONG TERM LEGACY, LONG TERM LEGACY INVESTMENT. 
          SO VERY SIMILAR TO, UM, WHAT LA FOUR DID. 
          THEY'RE GONNA DO THE SAME THING FOR LA 28. 
          UM, BASICALLY IF THERE'S ANY SURPLUS THAT'S GONNA ROLL INTO A LEGACY FOUNDATION, UM, LA LA FOUR STILL GIVES OUT, UM, GIVES FUNDS TO COMMUNITIES WE STILL RECEIVE FROM LA FOUR FUNDS. 
          BLESS YOU. 
          SO WE'RE HOPING AND SEEING IF MAYBE THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN, EVEN THOUGH THE LA LA 20 IS GONNA HAVE THEIR OWN LEGACY FOUNDATION, IS THERE A WAY FOR US TO HAVE OUR OWN FOUNDATION HERE WITHIN LONG BEACH? SO WE'LL, UM, HELP US SPUR LEGACY BENEFITS IN IN OUR CITY. 
          I'LL PASS IT BACK TO TYLER, TALK ABOUT SOME OF OUR INTERNAL FUNDS. 
          ALL THIS STUFF PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT. 
          UH, SO THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING IN TERMS OF SOME OF OUR INTERNAL CITY COORDINATION AND HOW WE'RE ORGANIZING OUR DEPARTMENTS. 
          UM, WE HAVE A MULTI-TIER KIND OF FRAMEWORK RIGHT NOW. 
          UH, WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM, WHICH IS LARGELY WITHIN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE THAT'S REALLY DRIVING KIND OF THE VISION AND THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH LA 28 THAT I MENTIONED. 
          UM, THEN WE HAVE A CITYWIDE STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH IS MADE UP OF, UH, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT EXPERTS ACROSS THE IMPACT DEPARTMENTS. 
          SO MAKING SURE WE GOT, UH, YOU KNOW, EVERY DIFFERENT ASPECT OF OUR CITY OPERATIONS COVERED, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO HELPING TO GUIDE THE SHIP, SO TO SPEAK, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO OUR OLYMPICS PLANNING. 
          AND THEN WE 
          [00:35:01]
WILL HAVE SPECIFIC WORK GROUPS AS WELL THAT ARE FOCUSED ON, UM, YOU KNOW, PARTICULAR CHALLENGES OR ISSUES THAT COME UP, WHETHER THAT'S PUBLIC SAFETY AND ENSURING THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT HOW ARE WE ADDRESSING PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES OR, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR GENERAL SPECIAL EVENTS PUBLIC SAFETY APPROACH OR INFRASTRUCTURE AND MOBILITY, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE AS ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE, UH, DURING THE OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES ADDRESSING ANY OF THOSE ISSUES. 
          THINKING ABOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS WELL, A NUMBER OF THE THINGS THAT JORGE JUST MENTIONED. 
          SO, UM, AGAIN, WHAT YOU HAVE IN THE SLIDES AND IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, HAPPY TO TALK MORE ABOUT IT. 
          BUT, UH, A NUMBER OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AT THE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP LEVEL IS REALLY, LIKE I SAID, GUIDING THIS, UH, VISION FOR THE CITY'S APPROACH TO OLYMPICS PLANNING, UH, AND THEN MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR NEGOTIATIONS WITH LA 28. 
          THE CITYWIDE STEERING COMMITTEE IS A NUMBER OF THOSE EXPERTS ACROSS ALL THE DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE HELPING TO KIND OF RELAY INFORMATION ON THE GROUND IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT MEETINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE TAKE, UH, TAKING ACROSS THE REGION WITH PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERS OR, UH, LIKE JORGE MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, HAVING, UH, FEMA AND SOME OF THE OTHER NATIONAL SECURITY CONVERSATIONS ONGOING. 
          OBVIOUSLY JORGE AND I AREN'T IN ALL OF THOSE MEETINGS. 
          UH, SO WE NEED A STRUCTURE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT INFORMATION, INFORMATION IS FLOWING ACROSS ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND THEN EACH OF THE WORK GROUPS. 
          AND THESE WILL LIKELY CHANGE, UH, JUST BASED ON THE NEEDS AND THE, THE CHALLENGES THAT ARISE. 
          BUT, UH, SOME OF THE CORE FOCUS AREAS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, OF COURSE ARE AROUND PUBLIC SAFETY, INFRASTRUCTURE, MOBILITY, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. 
          SO THAT'S SORT OF WHAT WE'RE THINKING INTERNALLY, UH, WITHIN THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR PLANS. 
          UM, THE LAST THING WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS SORT OF WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEXT STEPS. 
          SO, UH, FIRST THING FOR US IS FINALIZING OUR STRATEGIC PLAN FOR, UH, THE 2028 GAME. 
          UM, WE ARE HOPING WE'RE, UH, GOING THROUGH DRAFTS AND DRAFTS AND DRAFTS AND ALMOST THERE. 
          UH, SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO FINALIZE THAT, UM, BY THE END OF THIS YEAR OR EARLY, UH, JANUARY. 
          AND THAT AGAIN WILL SET THE VISION FOR WHAT THE CITY'S ROLE WILL BE IN THE GAMES. 
          AND, UH, WE'LL OUTLINE A NUMBER OF THE THINGS THAT JORGE HAD MENTIONED IN TERMS OF OUR CORE VALUES. 
          UH, WE'LL CONTINUE TO NEGOTIATE WITH LA 28 ON THAT COST RECOVERY FRAMEWORK THAT I MENTIONED, AND OF COURSE OUR INTERNAL PLANNING. 
          SO A LOT OF THAT INTERNAL, INTERNAL PLANNING WILL KICK OFF ONCE WE HAVE THAT STRATEGIC PLAN IN PLACE, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING WELL ACROSS NOT ONLY THE CITY DEPARTMENTS BUT WITH COMMUNITY AS WELL. 
          UH, GETTING AS MUCH INFORMATION OUT THERE AS POSSIBLE AND GETTING FEEDBACK AND THAT WE CAN, UM, INCORPORATE THAT INTO OUR EFFORTS AND NEGOTIATIONS WITH LA 28 AS WELL. 
          UM, AND AS JORGE ALSO MENTIONED BEFORE, WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT WE'LL GET THE FINAL LIST OF GAMES THAT WILL BE TAKING PLACE IN LONG BEACH. 
          HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, UH, THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH CITY OF LA, UH, TO FINALIZE THOSE NEGOTIATIONS, BUT WE ANTICIPATE WE'LL HAVE MORE THAN WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO EVEN SHARE TONIGHT. 
          AND YOU KNOW, JOE APPARENTLY HAS MORE INFORMATION THAN I DID 'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD, YOU KNOW, NINE PARALYMPIC EVENTS COMING TO US. 
          SO THERE'S ALL SORTS OF NUMBERS AND DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT ARE OUT THERE. 
          UM, BUT THE FINAL LIST, HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET AND UM, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO SHARE WHENEVER LA 28, YOU KNOW, ANNOUNCES THEY GOT A AUTHORIZATION AND APPROVAL, UM, BUT ANTICIPATE WE'LL HAVE MORE, UM, THAN WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE LAID OUT EVEN IN THESE SLIDES, WHICH IS EXCITING. 
          UM, AND THEN OF COURSE REGIONAL PLANNING IS ALSO GONNA BE RAMPING UP. 
          UM, A LOT OF THIS IS RAMPED UP JUST POST PARIS, BUT UM, IN EARLY 2025 I THINK WE'LL SEE A LOT MORE OF THIS INTERACTION. 
          A LOT MORE LA METRO CONVERSATIONS AROUND THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING. 
          WE'RE ALREADY SEEING SOME OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY, UM, ENGAGEMENTS EVEN WITH FEMA AND THE FEDERAL LEVEL. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, DURING THE PARIS OLYMPICS WE ALSO HAD OPPORTUNITIES OF COURSE TO SHOWCASE LONG BEACH. 
          I'M SURE YOU SAW, UH, LONG BEACH, NOT VENICE BEACH. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAD, UH, A REALLY INTEGRAL PART OF THE SORT OF CLOSING CEREMONY VIDEO THAT SHOWED THE TRANSITION BETWEEN PARIS TO LA. 
          UM, AND OF COURSE WE'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE LONG BEACH ALL THE WAY UP TO AND THROUGH THE OLYMPICS IN 2028. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES THAT JORGE ALSO MENTIONED TO POST TEST EVENTS TO BRING, UH, ASSOCIATIONS AND GROUPS HERE AHEAD OF THE GAMES TO WORK WITH THEM. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE THING THAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT LONG BEACH AND OUR ROLE IN THE OLYMPICS IS THAT A TRACK IS A TRACK. 
          YOU CAN KIND OF GO TO ANY TRACK OR HANDBALL COURT OR WHATEVER. 
          IT'S PRETTY MUCH GONNA BE THE SAME. 
          BUT, UM, OBVIOUSLY 
          [00:40:01]
ROWING, CANOE, SPRINT, SAILING, SWIMMING IN OCEAN WATER, UM, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WANT TO BE IN THAT EXACT, UM, GAMES ENVIRONMENT AS THEY'RE TESTING AND AS THEY'RE, UH, PREPARING FOR THE GAMES. 
          SO WE HAVE A UNIQUE SITUATION HERE WITH OUR VENUES WHERE MORE AND MORE FOLKS WANT TO BE HERE NOW, UM, IN THE LEAD UP TO THE GAMES THAN IN A LOT OF THE OTHER VENUES. 
          SO, UM, AGAIN, A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO BRING PEOPLE TO LONG BEACH TO SHOWCASE OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, OF COURSE WITH OUR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, WANTING TO PUT ON OUR, OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD, UM, AND MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY'RE GETTING LONG BEACH. 
          SO WITH THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, ELABORATE ON ANYTHING THAT WE CAN. 
          AND, UH, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. 
          WE'VE, UNDER OUR FORMAT, SINCE WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR, THAT WE'LL KEEP OUR QUESTIONS FIRST WITH THE COMMISSION AND THEN WE'LL GO TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. 
          AND WE'LL ALSO, UH, WE'LL BE RELAXED ON OUR TIMING A LITTLE BIT UNLESS WE GET A LITTLE BIT OVER WITH SOMEBODY WITH TOO MANY QUESTIONS THAT LATER ON CAN BE DEALT WITH ONLINE. 
          AND SO TODD WILL HELP ME WITH, UM, TIMING IN EACH OF THOSE. 
          SO WITHIN THE COMMISSION, ARE THERE ANY TYPICAL QUESTIONS TO ADDRESS? SURE. 
          UH, WORKING THREE OLYMPICS FOR UPS, UM, AND, AND WONDERING, I I, I LOOKED AT THE SPONSORSHIPS, EITHER A SPONSOR OR A PARTNER WITH THE OLYMPICS TO GET YOUR NAME ATTACHED TO ANYTHING. 
          AND THAT HAS TO BE THROUGH THE IOC. 
          UH, I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT WE CAN DO IN LONG BEACH BY GETTING SPONSORSHIPS JUST SO WE CAN BUILD OUR OWN SPONSORSHIPS. 
          BUT THAT'S BEEN, THAT'S BEEN, THAT'S IN CEMENT OR TEFLON. 
          SO IT'D BE INTERESTING WHEN YOU SAID THAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE SPONSORS IN LONG BEACH. 
          YOU EITHER A PARTNER OR A SPONSOR OF THE OLYMPICS TO GET YOUR NAME ON ANYTHING, UH, SURROUNDING THE OLYMPICS. 
          AND I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THE LIFEGUARD STATIONS RIGHT NOW OF DOING SOMETHING WITH LIFEGUARD STATIONS IN IT. 
          IT'S JUST GONNA BE WHAT CAN STAY UP AND WHAT HAS TO COME DOWN, JUST A CONCERN. 
          UH, AND THE OTHER SIDE WAS THE MAYBE UTILIZING ESPECIALLY LONG BEACH STATE IN REGARDS TO HOUSING. 
          YOU KNOW, IT'S DURING THE SUMMERTIME AND I KNOW THEY USUALLY HOUSE EVERYBODY IN OLYMPIC VILLAGE, UH, AND THEN HAVE TO BUST SOME IN THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          UM, THAT'S JUST, I MEAN, ATLANTA WAS CRAZY. 
          , I MEAN, ATLANTA WAS CRAZY. 
          UTAH IS A LITTLE EASIER, UH, BUT BEING AROUND AND DRIVING, BEING A DRIVER HELPER IN 84 DURING THE 84 OLYMPICS, YEAH, I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. 
          SO, UH, UH, YEAH, I, I KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL, BUT WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO SPONSOR IT, I JUST PUT THAT INTO YOU. 
          UH, NO ONE SPONSORS ANYTHING UNLESS THEY'VE CHANGED, UH, UNLESS THEY'RE A PARTNER OR A SPONSOR OF THE IOC BEFORE THEIR NAME'S CAN GO IN ANYTHING IN, IN LOCAL VENUES. 
          UM, I KNOW, UH, THIS IS REAL QUICK, SO ON THE CAL STATE LONG BEACH POINT. 
          YEAH, SO I THINK WE'VE HEARD RUMBLINGS ABOUT LIKE LOOKING AT THAT AS POSSIBLE AND HOUSING AND SO THERE'S RUMBLINGS, BUT NOTHING THAT WE, THAT WE'VE HEARD IS CONFIRMATION OR, AND THAT'S REALLY LIKE MORE OF LA 28. 
          BUT I THINK THERE, THEY'RE DEFINITELY, I LIVE ACROSS THE STREET, SO IF YOU NEED MY HOUSE, PLEASE LEMME, YOU'RE DEFINITELY THINKING ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING. 
          AND IT WAS, UM, AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE MARINE ADVISORY COMMISSION'S SORT OF OBJECTIVE IN GETTING INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC. 
          UH, ALTHOUGH IT'S VERY EARLY DAYS, BUT THE NOTION THAT THE COMMUNITY THAT'S GOING TO BE IMPACTED ARE THE FOLKS THAT ARE SERVED BY THE PARKS, REC AND MARINE BUREAU, RIGHT. 
          AND OUR RELATIONSHIP AS MARINE ADVISORY COMMISSION WITH THE MARINE BUREAU AND THE NOTION THAT THESE ARE VENUES THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, OUR BEACHES AND OUR WATERWAYS AND OUR MARINE STADIUM. 
          SO IT WAS CRITICAL FOR MANY OF US ON THE COMMISSION TO BRING YOU HERE TONIGHT AND I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          UM, AND THE NOTION THAT THE COMMUNITY MAY HAVE QUESTIONS AS WE MOVE ALONG, RIGHT? I DIDN'T SEE AN 800 NUMBER UP THERE, I DIDN'T SEE, YOU KNOW, AN EMAIL ADDRESS. 
          IS THERE SOME PLANNING GOING ON THAT COULD HELP MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NEXT STEPS MIGHT BE OR WHERE THEY MIGHT GO FOR MORE INFORMATION? IS THERE GONNA BE A WEBSITE? IS THERE GONNA BE SOMEONE IN CHARGE THAT COULD, YOU KNOW, HELP PEOPLE WHO FORESEE QUESTIONS AND ISSUES RELATED TO THEIR LIVES IN LONG BEACH AS THESE OLYMPICS MOVE ALONG? YEAH, WE DEFINITELY ANTICIPATE HAVING A GENERAL EMAIL ADDRESS THAT FOLKS CAN EMAIL WITH QUESTIONS AND UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'LL BE MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE, SO AS THEY COME IN. 
          SO WE'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY CREATED IT, WE JUST HAVEN'T DISTRIBUTED IT YET. 
          UM, BUT WE ALSO ARE PLANNING ON AND ACTUALLY ACTIVELY WORKING ON WHAT A WEBSITE LOOKS LIKE. 
          SO BASICALLY LIKE A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE AGREEMENTS WE'VE EXECUTED, UM, TRYING TO CENTRALIZE ALL THOSE IN ONE PLACE SO THAT FOLKS CAN GO AND, AND SEE THOSE DOCUMENTS WHENEVER THEY'D LIKE. 
          SO FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES. 
          AND THEN, UM, ALSO LIKE I 
          [00:45:01]
THINK WE HAVE SOME KIND OF GENERAL, WE'VE KIND OF DONE A GENERAL FAQ IN THE PAST WHEN WE EXECUTE THE VENUE USE AGREEMENT. 
          UM, BUT AS WE GO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA KEEP RECEIVING THESE QUESTIONS AND WE'RE GONNA KEEP GETTING ANSWERS. 
          AND SO ANTICIPATE ALSO HAVING LIKE AN FAQ ON THAT WEBSITE THAT WILL BE ITERATING AS WE GO. 
          AND THEN WE'LL KIND OF KEEP ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, THAT WILL MAKE PEOPLE WILL ABLE TO GO THERE AND GET, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THEY EVEN ASK US THE INFORMATION WILL BE THERE. 
          SO YEAH, SOMETHING WE'RE THINKING ABOUT FOR SURE. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE THAT AVAILABLE EARLY NEXT YEAR. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU. 
          SO, UM, VERY INTERESTING PRESENTATION. 
          I'VE JUST ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF THE OLYMPICS, SO TO ME THIS IS VERY EXCITING, THE IDEA OF PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. 
          UM, I'M INTERESTED AS MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS KNOW IN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND WATER QUALITY ISSUES AND I SAW THAT THERE WAS A BUDGET OR A LINE ITEM OR A SENTENCE ABOUT, UM, SOME MONEY BEING BUDGETED FOR WATER QUALITY AND CLIMATE ADAPT ADAPTATION FUNDS. 
          DO YOU KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT HOW THOSE WOULD BE SPENT? BECAUSE WHAT I REMEMBER FROM THE SLIDE WAS THAT IT WAS A PRETTY, YOU KNOW, DECENT AMOUNT OF MONEY COMPARED TO THE OTHER ONES THAT WERE LISTED. 
          YEAH, SO THESE, SO UM, I THINK YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE L EIGHT 20 PLANT. 
          SO A LOT OF THOSE PROJECTS, THEY, THEY'VE BEEN PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME NOW. 
          I THINK THEY'VE, UM, THEY'VE, YOU KNOW, BEEN IN DESIGN, THOSE PROJECTS TAKE SEVERAL YEARS. 
          SO I THINK THE ELEVATE 28 PLAN KIND OF REALLY BRINGS IT ALL UNDER ONE, ONE UMBRELLA THROUGH THE INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN. 
          AND THAT PROJECT IN PARTICULAR, I BELIEVE IS THE, UM, THE ALAMITOS BEACH. 
          UH, YOU CAN SEE WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WE'RE REFERRING TO. 
          UM, AND UH, SO THAT'S REALLY ALL LIKE MANAGED UNDER PUBLIC WORKS. 
          SO, UM, WE CAN DEFINITELY DISTRIBUTE THAT WEBSITE. 
          'CAUSE IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS. 
          COULD YOU DRILL ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THAT? YEAH, ON THE ENTIRE, YEAH, YOU CAN DRILL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE, TO THE SPECIFIC PROJECT. 
          AND I THINK FOR THAT PROJECT IN PARTICULAR, PUBLIC WORKS ACTUALLY HAS A PAGE DEDICATED FOR ALL THE WORK THEY'VE BEEN DOING ON IT. 
          UH, SO IT'S NOT ADDITIVE. 
          UM, IT'S, IT'S JUST SCOOPED INTO THIS BUCKET FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          WELL THE, IT IS UNDER THE ELEVATE 20 INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN ITSELF. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR THE CITY HAS EVERY FIVE YEARS THE CITY PUTS FORWARD A A FIVE YEAR INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN. 
          AND SO THAT'S REALLY PART OF THAT PLAN, WHICH IS NOW, WHICH HAS BEEN BRED AS ELEVATE 28. 
          UM, AND SO THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, WHAT PUBLIC WORKS DOES AS A REGULAR JUST BASICALLY, UH, COMPLETE THESE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. 
          SO IT'S PART OF THAT. 
          BUT YEAH, THEY, UH, I ACTUALLY WAS ON THAT PAGE RECENTLY FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS ASKING US ABOUT IT. 
          UH, LA 28 WAS ACTUALLY IT. 
          SO THEY HAVE A, THEY HAVE ALL THIS INFORMATION UP, UP THERE ABOUT WHAT THE PROJECT ENTAILS, BUDGET, UH, THEY'VE DONE PRESENTATIONS ON IT. 
          SO DEFINITELY SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH YOU. 
          I'LL, I'LL BE ELEVATE 20 EIGHT.COM AND I THINK THAT PROJECT IN PARTICULAR HAS A SEPARATE WEBPAGE. 
          IF I, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET TO IT THROUGH THAT ELEVATE 28, BUT WE'LL, YEAH, WE'LL SHARE IT, WE'LL FIND IT. 
          OKAY, COOL. 
          THANKS. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW WITH COMMISSIONERS? OKAY, I THINK LET'S MOVE BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT HAS THE, UM, VARIOUS VENUES. 
          AND NOW LET'S OPEN THIS UP TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC 'CAUSE I THINK SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS WILL BE RELATED IN FACT THAT WE HAD ONE OVER HERE. 
          OH, THERE WE GO. 
          YES, GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A NOTE TO REMOVE THE DOC, EVERYBODY. 
          BEFORE, BEFORE YOU ASK YOUR QUESTION OR MAKE A COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD PLEASE. 
          MY NAME'S MIKE GEERING. 
          I LIVE ON SOO AND UH, MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR KAL CHO. 
          HAVE TO SAY THAT AGAIN WITH A MICROPHONE. 
          YES. 
          MY NAME'S MIKE GEERING, UH, BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF LONG BEACH CHOCOLATE RESIDENT OF NAPLES ISLAND. 
          UH, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS SAYS THAT THE DOCKS AND BASIN FOUR WILL BE REMOVED AS WELL AS A LONG DOCK AROUND LONG BEACH CHALK CLUB. 
          THAT'S THE FIRST PART OF THE QUESTION. 
          SECOND PART IS WHEN THERE'S LIMITED ACCESS FOR VOTERS, IS THAT ON A TIMING BASIS, LIKE BETWEEN 10 AND TWO, YOU CAN'T GO OR A GEOGRAPHICAL BASIS LIKE YOU HAVE TO STAY BETWEEN THE BUOYS AND THE SHORE, LIKE WHEN YOU ENTER ANAHEIM BAY? OR IS IT A COMBINATION OF BOTH? WELL, AT THIS POINT, HONESTLY, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH MORE INFORMATION THAN WHAT WE HAVE ON THE SLIDE. 
          UH, SO WHAT WE DID IN THE VENUE USE GUARANTEE, SO THAT WAS THE INITIAL STARTING POINT TO SAY YOU CAN UTILIZE THESE VENUES, BUT ALL THEY PROVIDED WAS WE'RE GONNA POTENTIALLY NEED TO DO, UM, THESE TYPES OF THINGS. 
          BUT THEY DIDN'T GIVE US A LOT OF THE DETAIL OF LIKE TIMING OF IMPACTS AND WHERE AND THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          SO A LOT OF THAT WILL DEPEND ON KIND OF THEIR PHASE IN PLAN OF HOW THEY NEED TO, YOU KNOW, PUT EVEN TEMPORARY INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN MARINE STADIUM FOR THEIR OPERATIONS AND THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          UM, BUT IT IS, I MEAN THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF QUESTIONS THAT WE WILL BE RELAYING TO LA 28 TO TRY TO GET MORE INFORMATION IN DETAILS. 
          UM, JUST NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN WE WILL HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION. 
          UH, 
          [00:50:01]
PART OF IT TOO IS MAYBE NOT AS MUCH FOR MARINE STADIUM, BUT EVEN FOR SOME OF THE OTHER VENUES AND IMPACTS IS IT WILL POTENTIALLY DEPEND ALSO ON THE, THE FEDERAL SECURITY DESIGNATION AS WELL. 
          THEY MIGHT DETERMINE A DIFFERENT SCHEDULE FOR ACCESS AND THINGS THAN EVEN LA 28 IS PLANNING FOR. 
          UH, SO UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS POINT THERE'S A LOT OF VARIABLES AT PLAY THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION, BUT WE WILL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE TO, UM, TRY TO GET THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND THEN BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT SO THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CAN BETTER ANSWER THE QUESTION FOR SURE. 
          SORRY, ? YEAH, GO AHEAD. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          MY NAME IS CHRIS SLAY. 
          I AM THE RACE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN FOR SHORELINE YACHT CLUB. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF SAILORS AROUND HERE AND WE ALL HAVE A BACKGROUND THAT WE APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE INTRICACIES THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE DETAILS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          AND SOME OF US, WE WISH WE WERE IN THERE IN THE MIX FOR HAVING COLD AND SHAKING IT WITH BOTH HANDS, BUT WE REALIZED YOU GUYS HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL AS MUCH AS ANYONE CAN. 
          HOWEVER, MY EXPERIENCE IN LONG BEACH IS MY, I'VE LIVED IN LONG BEACH LONGER THAN ANYWHERE ELSE I'VE LIVED, ALTHOUGH I'M IN LAKEWOOD NOW. 
          AND WHEN I'VE BEEN IN LONG BEACH, I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF RUNNING DOWN THE STREETS AT OH, DARK 30 WITH SO MANY OF MY OTHER COMRADES WHO WANT TO GET THIS ATHLETIC WORKOUT DONE. 
          AND I KNOW THAT STILL CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. 
          AND THERE'S ALL THESE PEOPLE ON THE BEACH WHO ARE CURRENTLY USING THE STRAND TO, TO GREAT ENJOYMENT AS WELL AS THE BEACH. 
          AND I'VE IN HEARD THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A GREAT FOOTPRINT ON THE BEACH IN LONG BEACH, WHICH IS GOING TO PRETTY MUCH PUT A-A-A-A-A STOP TO MUCH OF THE WALKING DOWN THE STREET PLAYING VOLLEYBALL ON THE BEACH AND MAYBE RUNNING DOWN THE STREET TO ALAMEDA BAY YACHT CLUB AND DIFFERENT PLACES AROUND THE CITY THAT WE NORMALLY RUN TO. 
          SO CAN YOU GIVE US A FLAVOR OF WHAT TO EXPECT IN THAT, IN THAT WAY AND, AND ALSO THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT IN THE SHORELINE MARINA? YEAH, SO I MEAN, WITH A LOT OF OUR SPECIAL EVENTS THAT WE HOST IN, ESPECIALLY THIS AREA, OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE ACCESS AND WE'RE MINIMIZING THE IMPACTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          AND THAT'S ALSO, OF COURSE, A PRIORITY FOR THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION. 
          AND SO A LOT OF THIS WILL BE THE NEGOTIATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN LA 28 AND COASTAL COMMISSION. 
          UM, AND PART OF OUR JOB AND COMMITMENT IS TO BE A PARTNER IN THEIR EFFORTS TO GET PERMITS BASICALLY FOR THEIR PLANS IN, UM, ALL ALONG THE BEACH AREAS AND THE DIFFERENT VENUES. 
          UM, BUT FOR US AND FOR THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION, OBVIOUSLY THEIR PRIORITY IN OURS IS TO TRY TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE COAST AND THE BEACH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO MINIMIZE, YOU KNOW, THE ESSENTIALLY TEMPORARY PRIVATIZATION OF, UH, YOU KNOW, A SPECIFIC VENUE AREA. 
          AND SO THIS IS WHERE IT KIND OF GOES BACK TO THE SAME QUESTION AS LIKE, WELL WHEN WOULD THOSE AREAS BE RESTRICTED? HOW, UM, YOU KNOW, WOULD ACCESS BE IMPACTED AND THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          WE DON'T KNOW THOSE SPECIFICS YET. 
          UM, BUT WE DO KNOW WITH OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN HOSTED KIND OF IN THIS AREA BY ALAMEDO BEACH IN PARTICULAR. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, OUR SPECIAL EVENTS TEAM, THE COASTAL COMMISSION, OTHERS WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CLEAR PLAN FOR ACCESS TO, UM, THE MARINA AND, YOU KNOW, THE BEACH AREAS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IF THE, THE BEACH PATH OR THE WALKING PATH ARE IMPACTED. 
          UM, OFTENTIMES THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE A TEMPORARY ALTERNATIVE TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S STILL THAT PUBLIC ACCESS TO THOSE AMENITIES. 
          SO A LOT OF THOSE DETAILS WILL HAVE TO BE FLESHED OUT THROUGH LA 20 EIGHT'S PLAN FOR EACH OF THE VENUES. 
          UM, BUT I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ADVOCATING TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT ONLY WE HAVE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE FROM LA 28 WHEN WE CAN, UM, WE WANT IT JUST AS BADLY AS YOU AND WE WANT IT YESTERDAY. 
          UM, 'CAUSE IT'S KIND OF A CHICKEN AND THE EGG THING WHERE WE CAN'T REALLY DO A LOT OF OUR PLANNING UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, BUT ALONG THE WAY, WE ABSOLUTELY WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE, UM, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING AS MUCH ACCESS TO PUBLIC OPEN SPACE AS POSSIBLE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. 
          AND THAT THOSE IMPACTS WHERE THE, YOU KNOW, THE TIMES OF THE EVENTS ARE, 
          [00:55:01]
OR THE LIMITED ACCESS ARE AS MINIMAL AS POSSIBLE. 
          SO, UM, ANOTHER THING THAT WE'RE HOPING TO DO KIND OF, UH, RELATED TO WHAT JORGE HAD MENTIONED ARE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND, UM, PROVIDING FREE COMMUNITY EVENTS AND GETTING, UM, THE ENTIRE LONG BEACH COMMUNITY INVOLVED IN THIS EXPERIENCE IS EVEN ALONG THE, UH, WATERFRONT, HOPING TO BE ABLE TO HOST, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC OPEN FREE EVENTS THAT FOLKS CAN GO TO OUTSIDE OF THE VENUES, UM, YOU KNOW, TO, AGAIN, BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE JUST LIKE WE DO IN OUR PARK SPACES, LIKE MOVIES IN THE PARK AND THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE WANT FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT, UM, THAT SPACE AS WELL, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          SO, UM, I HEAR YOU AND I AGREE, UM, AND WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, UM, KIND OF WHAT THAT LA 28 PLAN IS. 
          AND, UM, AGAIN, JUST KNOW THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR NOT ONLY THAT INFORMATION TRANSPARENCY IN THE PROCESS, BUT, UH, FOR AS MUCH ACCESS AS POSSIBLE. 
          AT THE SAME TIME, MY HONOR, MICHAEL MERCER, UH, LIVE LONG BEACH. 
          I'M A CRUISE CHAIR AT CHAR YACHT CLUB, AND, UH, MY BOAT'S IN CHAR. 
          AND TO FOLLOW UP ON CHRIS'S, UH, UH, QUESTION, I SEE, UM, TWO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE LONG BEACH, UH, SHO AREA, AREA ONE, I SEE OUR YACHT CLUB IS AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS. 
          AND WHEN THEY START SAYING RESTRICTING ACCESS, WE'RE ALL USED TO, YOU KNOW, THE GRAND PRIX CONCERTS. 
          WE'RE ALL USED TO THE INCONVENIENCES WHEN THAT COMES ALONG. 
          AND SOME OF OUR MEMBERS DON'T CARE. 
          LOT OF US GO TO THE EVENTS, SOME DON'T. 
          THEY'LL STAY AT HOME OR THEY'LL TAKE THEIR BOATS AND THEY'LL GO SOMEWHERE. 
          SO WE'RE JUST REALLY, THAT IS A HUGE CONCERN THAT WE ARE, OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING, HOW ARE WE GONNA GET IN OUR YACHT CLUB? WE HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT. 
          WE'VE GUARANTEED WITH CONTRACTUAL, WITH OUR MEMBERS, YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE YACHT CLUB. 
          SO, AND THEN ALSO SEC BASED ON THAT, UH, I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE STARTING CONSTRUCTION A LOT OF THIS STUFF WITHIN ANOTHER YEAR OR SO WITH SOME OF THE STUFF. 
          WHAT'S GONNA GO ON WITH THE GRAND PRIX, ALL THE CONCERTS THAT GO ON DOWN THERE, ALL THE SMALLER EVENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT GO ON, UH, THE CITY JUST GONNA CEASE THOSE OPERATIONS. 
          I MEAN, THE GRAND PRIX, A WORLD CLASS EVENT. 
          WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WORLD CLASS EVENTS, WE ALREADY HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL EVENT IN LONG BEACH. 
          SO I'M KIND OF CURIOUS. 
          SO WHAT'S WITH THAT STUFF TOO? YEAH, GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO I, I THINK IN TERMS OF, UH, AGAIN, WE DIDN'T WANT TO BORE YOU WITH TOO MUCH DETAIL, BUT WHAT WE CAN DO ALSO IS PROVIDE MORE OF THE INFORMATION THAT'S IN THE VENUE USE GUARANTEE. 
          UM, SO THAT OUTLINES THE, THE DATES THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF THIS AREA, UH, FOR THE VENUES. 
          WELL, YOU DID THE VENUES ACTUALLY, BUT, UM, WITH YOUR QUESTION RELATED TO THE GRAND PRIX AND SOME OF THE OTHER EVENTS, I MEAN, THERE WILL BE IMPACTS AT THE CONVENTION CENTER POTENTIALLY. 
          'CAUSE THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, PHASE IN CONSTRUCTION IN THE ELEPHANT LOT AND, UM, THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          BUT THERE, THERE WON'T BE ANY IMPACTS TO THE GRAND PRIX. 
          SO WE'VE ALREADY, THE ELEPHANT LOT IS WHERE THE HAIR PIN IS. 
          I MEAN, IT'S, UH, KIND OF, YEAH. 
          SO WE'RE, THAT TIMELINE, WE'RE VERY CONSCIOUS AND WE WERE, UM, WORKING WITH LA 28 AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY WERE COORDINATING WITH THE GRAND PRIX ON THE, YOU KNOW, TIMELINE THAT THE GRAND PRIX NEEDS TO BASICALLY DECONSTRUCT. 
          AND THEN WHEN COULD LA 28 COME INTO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CONVENTION CENTER OR THE ELEPHANT LOT? SO THERE WON'T BE ANY DIRECT IMPACTS ON THE GRAND PRIX. 
          UH, THAT WAS CERTAINLY A PRIORITY FOR US AS WELL. 
          UM, THERE WILL BE SOME, UH, CONVENTIONS THAT, UM, MAY HAVE WANTED TO TAKE PLACE, YOU KNOW, IN 2028 AT THAT TIME, THAT WON'T BE ABLE TO. 
          UM, BUT IN TERMS OF THE, THE EVENTS THAT WE'VE COME TO, UH, KNOW AND LOVE FOR DECADES, THOSE WON'T BE IMPACTED, HAVE BEEN FOLDED INTO THE, THE TEMPORARY TIMELINE FOR THEIR, YOU KNOW, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE, UM, PHASE IN AND EVERYTHING. 
          SO, BUT, UH, ONE THING ABOUT THAT IS THAT IT'S ALL IN 2028 ACTUALLY. 
          UM, SO THE, THE TIME WHERE THEY'RE UTILIZING, UM, THERE'S BASICALLY TWO TYPES OF, UM, USE THAT THEY'LL HAVE, UM, NON-EXCLUSIVE USE. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE A TIME PERIOD WHERE THEY WILL COORDINATE WITH US OR THE CONVENTION CENTER OR DIFFERENT, UM, YOU KNOW, IMPACTED PARTIES TO SEE, HEY, CAN WE GO IN AND CHECK OUT THIS SPACE? OR, UM, YOU KNOW, KIND OF MEASURE THINGS OR, OR WHATEVER, RIGHT? BUT THEY DON'T NEED THE ENTIRE SPACE FOR THAT NON-EXCLUSIVE PERIOD. 
          AND THEN THERE WILL BE THE EXCLUSIVE USE PERIOD CLOSER TO THE, THE ACTUAL EVENTS WHERE THEY'RE GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, STORING THINGS, CONSTRUCTING THE TEMPORARY INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          AND AGAIN, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, FOCUS THAT TIME AS, AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE EVENT. 
          SO IT'S 
          [01:00:01]
NOT AS LARGE OF AN IMPACT. 
          UM, BUT DEFINITELY THE TIMELINES AND THE VENUE USE GUARANTEE ARE BUILT AROUND THE, THE GRAND PRIX AND MAKING SURE THERE'S NO IMPACTS THERE. 
          UM, SO HOPEFULLY THAT, THAT HELPS TO CLARIFY THAT. 
          AND THEN IN OUR, OUR YACHT CLUB BUILDING, THAT'S THE OTHER THING I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS BEING ABLE TO ACCESS NO, THE, UH, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CERTAINLY WE CAN BRING BACK TO LA 28 AND MAKE SURE IT'S VERY CLEAR HERE ARE THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET A, A PLAN FROM THEM ON LIKE WHAT THE, THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE, AND HOW WE CAN OF COURSE, CONTINUE TO GET FEEDBACK ON THAT PROPOSAL AND, AND FINE TUNE IT AND REFINE. 
          UH, BUT, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY HEAR YOU AND AGREE, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO MINIMIZE THOSE IMPACTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ACCESS TO THE RESOURCES THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY RELIES ON IT. 
          MY NAME'S, EXCUSE ME, MY NAME'S RICH CHRIS. 
          THE BOTTOM, THE BOTTOM, THE BOTTOM. 
          UH, MY NAME'S RICH WINSLOW. 
          I HAVE, I HAVE A  AT SHORELINE. 
          IT'S UNCLEAR TO ME WHO HAS THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, WHO HAS TO COOPERATE WITH, WHO DO, DOES THE CITY OF LONG BEACH HAVE TO AGREE TO WHATEVER THE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE DECIDES IT WANTS, OR DO THEY HAVE TO AGREE WITH WHATEVER THE CITY OF LONG BEACH SAYS? YOU, YOU CAN HAVE THIS, BUT THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE IT. 
          IF, IF THE, UH, OLYMPIC COMMITTEE WANTS, UH, ACCESS TO FIVE OR 10 OF THE DOCKS IN SHORELINE, UH, AND THEY WANT THAT SPACE, THEY, SO THESE DOCKS HAVE GOTTA COME OUT. 
          THESE ARE, SOME OF THESE BEERS WILL HAVE TO MOVE. 
          ALL OF US WOULD HAVE TO FIND A PLACE TO PUT OUR BOAT. 
          IF, IF IT'S JUST, OH, THEY WANT THAT AREA, UH, SEALED OFF IF THEY WANT THAT AREA SEALED OFF FOR A WEEK OR TWO OR THREE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALL SURVIVE THAT. 
          BUT IF THEY WANT TO PULL THE DOCKS OUT, THEN WE'RE TALKING MONTHS BEFORE WE'RE GONNA GET THE DOCKS BACK IN AND HOOKED UP. 
          AND IN THE MEANTIME, WE NEED A PLACE TO PUT OUR VOTES. 
          SO IS THE CITY IN A POSITION TO SAY, NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT? OR IS THE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE IN A POSITION TO SAY, YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF OUR WAY? YEAH, GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO ULTIMATELY, UM, OFTENTIMES THIS WILL ACTUALLY COME DOWN TO, IN TERMS OF THE QUESTION OF ACCESS, TIMING, AND THAT TYPE OF THING WILL SOMETIMES BE EVEN A NATIONAL SECURITY QUESTION. 
          SO THE LOCAL, EVEN LA 28 COULD BE OVERRULED IF, YOU KNOW, THE, THE NATIONAL SECURITY LEVEL SAYS FOR SOME REASON, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO MINIMIZE ACCESS AT THIS SPECIFIC TIME FOR, YOU KNOW, A DIGNITARY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO THERE ARE LEVELS AT WHICH WE, THE CITY OR LA 28 DON'T EVEN REALLY HAVE CONTROL OVER. 
          BUT THOSE ARE TYPICALLY VERY LIMITED KIND OF IMPACTS AND LACK OF ACCESS FOR A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME. 
          AND I THINK WHAT YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, REFERRING TO IS MORE LIKE THE BIGGER POTENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES OR TEMPORARY SHIFTS IN, YOU KNOW, UH, DOCKS HERE. 
          AND AT THIS POINT WE HAVEN'T, THEY HAVE NEVER PROPOSED ANYTHING AS FAR AS I'M AWARE OF, LIKE CHANGING THE INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, YOU KNOW, OF SPECIFIC, UH, OF THE MARINA HERE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, UNLIKE MARINE STADIUM, WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING AT WITHIN THE WATER, TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, FIND WAYS FOR THE, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE MORE SPACE FOR WARMUPS AND THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          UM, BUT ULTIMATELY, YEAH, THAT WOULD BE A, A NEGOTIATION BETWEEN LA 28 AND THE CITY WHERE WE CAN CERTAINLY PUSH BACK AND MAKE SURE THAT, HEY, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE WITH THIS PROPOSAL, UM, AND WE WANT TO MINIMIZE THOSE IMPACTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          UM, AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, LIKE I MENTIONED, COASTAL COMMISSION, UM, WILL AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE DIFFERENT VENUES, WILL HAVE, UH, AUTHORITY ABOVE AND BEYOND EVEN WITH THE CITY AND LA 28, UM, PROPOSE AS WELL. 
          SO IT KIND OF DEPENDS, UM, THE LAYER OF, OF APPROVAL OR, UM, YOU KNOW, NEGOTIATION DEPENDS ON THE ISSUE SPECIFICALLY ITSELF. 
          BUT, UM, AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY PROPOSAL THAT WOULD IMPACT, UM, THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE MARINA, UM, TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, IT WOULD BE MORE JUST LIKE DURING SPECIFIC TIMES, THERE MAY BE LIMITED ACCESS TO GET TO A BOAT, BUT AGAIN, THAT IT WOULDN'T BE, UM, WHERE YOU WOULD BE UNABLE TO ACCESS HER BOAT FOR, YOU KNOW, AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, AS FAR AS I'M AWARE OF IT. 
          JORGE, ANYTHING ON THAT? NO. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          SAME, SAME THING. 
          WE, WE, WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT LIKE, UH, YOU KNOW, A, A PHASED APPROACH AS 
          [01:05:01]
FAR AS THE TIMING GOES, AND WE ARE COMMUNICATING THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE ACCESS. 
          I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM TO DETERMINE WHAT THOSE TIMES ARE. 
          BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE DEFINITELY AREN'T ENVISIONING WHERE THE EXCLUSIVE USE PERIOD OF TIME STARTS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS FOR, FOR FOUR WEEKS OR WHATEVER. 
          IT'S, SO YEAH, DEFINITELY HAVE THE, THE BOAT IN OUR MIND AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS PLANNING FOR SURE. 
          'CAUSE I KNOW THAT'S BEEN A CONCERN THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP SEVERAL TIMES OUTSIDE OF EVEN THIS, UH, OTHER CONVERSATION. 
          SO DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE'RE THINKING ABOUT. 
          BUT, UH, WE'RE JUST WAITING TO GET THE DETAILS AS SOON AS WE GET THE DETAILS, THEN WE'LL KNOW WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING, THEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT, OKAY, WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS? SO I THINK WE'RE EAGERLY ANTICIPATING THAT, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THAT SOMETIME SOON FROM THE LOOKS OF IT. 
          I THINK WE'LL START GETTING SOME OF THOSE DETAILS IN EARLY 25, MAYBE LATE THIS YEAR, BUT PROBABLY EARLY 25. 
          AND THEN WE WILL, AT THAT POINT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UM, DETERMINE LIKE WHAT WE CAN TRY TO MITIGATE. 
          I, MIKE, GARY, WANT ME, CHUCK AGAIN? IS THERE LANGUAGE IN OUR AGREEMENTS WITH LA 28 AND THE IOC AND THE STATE THAT GUARANTEES US TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO WHERE WE ARE BEFORE THEY START CHANGING THINGS? IN OTHER WORDS, IF THEY TAKE FIVE DOTS OUT OF OMI BAY OR SHORELINE AND COASTAL COMMISSION, WHICH HAS MORE POWER THAN OUR LOCAL JURISDICTION SAYS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GREAT. 
          THIS IS MORE PUBLIC ACCESS THAN WE HAD BEFORE. 
          LEAVE IT THIS WAY. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY LANGUAGE THAT PROTECTS US FROM THEM CHANGING IT PERMITS PERMANENTLY. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          SO YEAH, WE, WE DEFINITELY, UM, WE DEFINITELY, UM, HAVE, HAVE THAT, WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT AND THEN, AND HAVE THAT IN OUR, IN OUR AGREEMENTS AND, UM, THROUGH OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, ACTUALLY OUR, UM, OUR CONSULTANT HAS EVEN ADVISES US ON HOW WE, UH, GO ABOUT THAT, RIGHT? LIKE, DOC, MAKING SURE WE DOCUMENT FACILITIES BEFORE THE GAME AND MAKING SURE WE HAVE THAT CLEARLY DOCUMENTED SO WE KNOW WHAT CONDITION THINGS WERE IN BEFORE AND AFTER. 
          AND HOPEFULLY WE, THEY COME DOWN TO NEGOTIATION, FIGURE OUT WHERE THINGS NEED TO GO BACK TO, UH, WE'LL HAVE THAT DOCUMENTED. 
          SO WE WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT TOO, OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AS WELL. 
          BUT I THINK THERE'S ALSO, WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THERE'S ALSO MAYBE OPPORTUNITIES TO KEEP SOME STUFF. 
          SO, UM, IF THERE'S MAYBE SOME TEMPORARY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT GETS PLACED, LIKE WE'RE LOOKING, ALSO LOOKING, CAN WE, CAN WE TALK TO LA 28 ABOUT, LIKE, THERE'S SOME STUFF THAT MAYBE THEY DON'T NEED ANYMORE THAT MIGHT BE, THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO MAYBE THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES THERE AS WELL. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, AND THERE'S PROBABLY STUFF MAYBE IN THE WATER, AND THEN WE, OUTSIDE OF THAT, LIKE IN WITH THE HANDBALL AND WATER POOL AND THOSE TYPE OF OF EVENTS, LIKE MAYBE SOME LEGACY STUFF THERE ABOUT ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT AND THINGS THAT MAYBE THEY DON'T NEED TO TAKE BACK THAT WE CAN THEN DISTRIBUTE. 
          SO I THINK THERE'S A, THERE'S THE ASPECT OF MAKING SURE THINGS GO BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE. 
          AND THEN ALSO MAYBE THERE'S SOME LEGACY STUFF WE CAN TAKE FROM IT TOO, BECAUSE THERE'S STUFF WE CAN, WE CAN KEEP THAT MIGHT, MIGHT, MIGHT, MIGHT USEFUL THINKING ABOUT BOTH THINGS. 
          AND, UH, JUST ONE LAST THING ON THAT, UH, THERE'S AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION TOO, ESSENTIALLY WHERE THE, UH, THE DECISION FOR THAT TEMPORARY INFRASTRUCTURE CAME FROM. 
          SO IF, IF THE CITY SAYS, HEY, WHY DON'T YOU INVEST IN THIS OVER HERE FOR YOUR OPERATIONS LA 28, UM, BUT REALLY IT'S A CLEAR CITY BENEFIT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET THAT WITHOUT US, THE CITY PAYING FOR IT. 
          UM, BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT LA 28 IS LIKE, WELL, WE NEED THIS FOR THE EVENT THAT WE'RE PUTTING ON, AND LATER ON WE SAY, WELL, ACTUALLY WE WOULD REALLY LIKE YOU TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THAT OR SOMEHOW RE UH, REPURPOSE THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD POTENTIALLY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO, TO WORK WITH THEM ON THAT. 
          SO, GREAT QUESTION AND, UH, CERTAINLY A, A PRIORITY FOR US, AS JORGE MENTIONED, FOR OUR LONG-TERM LEGACY AND, AND HOW WE CAN, UM, SEE SOME OF THE BENEFITS LONG-TERM FROM THE, THE TEMPORARY INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVENTS. 
          KEEP SOME DOCK NEXT TO BELMONT P . 
          FIX THAT. 
          FIX THAT. 
          HI, I'M DAVID MURRAY. 
          YES, I AM THE SPOUSE OF, UH, COMMISSIONER MURRAY HERE. 
          AND WE'VE BEEN RESIDENTS SINCE 1965. 
          MY QUESTION IS, I THINK YOU SAID IT'S A $210 MILLION SPREAD OF ACROSS A MULTITUDE OF PROJECTS OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, IS THAT RIGHT? OR 9 3, 3 MIL. 
          SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WHERE'S THAT COMING FROM? IS IT PRE-EXISTING FUNDS? UH, MAYOR RICHARDSON OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF, UH, MONTHS HAS SPOKEN TO A LOT OF OTHER PROJECTS IN THE CITY. 
          UM, HOW IS THIS BEING SOURCED? YEAH, SO IT'S, IT'S, IT IS A VARIETY OF FUNDS, RIGHT? SO I THINK A LOT OF IT IS MEASURE, MEASURE A, THERE'S DIFFERENT FUNDS THAT ARE INVOLVED, BUT THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF GRANT FUNDING THAT'S INVOLVED IN THIS AS WELL. 
          SO, UM, IT'S, IT'S BASICALLY A, A VARIETY OF ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT FUNDS. 
          AND IF YOU GO TO THAT WEBSITE, THE, UH, LB 28 WEBSITE, UM, IT ACTUALLY SPELLS OUT TO WHAT THE SOURCE ARE, THE PROJECT. 
          SO, UM, PUBLIC WORKS HAS BEEN VERY THOUGHTFUL, UM, AND BEING TRANSPARENT AND DETAIL ABOUT HOW THEY'RE COMMUNICATING THE PLAN AND HOW THE PROJECTS 
          [01:10:01]
ARE GETTING FUNDED SO THAT ALL THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AS WELL. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT THAT WEBSITE, OR ONCE YOU GET THAT WEBSITE AND SAY, JUST TAKE A LOOK AND YOU KIND OF GET LOST IN THERE, JUST KIND OF CLICKING AROUND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT PROJECTS, THERE'S A DASHBOARD YOU CAN FILTER DOWN THE SPECIFIC AREAS. 
          IT'S PRETTY COOL. 
          SO I'D, UH, I'D RECOMMEND YOU DO THAT AND YOU CAN REALLY KIND OF GET DOWN TO THE NITTY GRITTY OF HOW ALL THESE PROJECTS ARE FUNDED SPECIFICALLY. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK WE JUST HAD A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS AND THAT WAS IT. 
          HI, MY NAME'S UM, MARY MELTON WITH THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DRAGON ROOM. 
          OKAY. 
          MY NAME'S BARRY MELTON AT THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DRAGON BOAT CLUB. 
          WE HAVE A, LIKE 13 BOAT ON MOTHER'S BEACH JUST SOUTH OF . 
          I KNOW  AND KA KAI HAVE OUTRIGGER NEWS THERE TOO. 
          UH, WE BRING HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE INTO PRACTICE, UM, EVERY WEEKEND. 
          UM, SO WE'RE, OUR CONCERN IS MOSTLY CAN WE PUT OUR BOAT SOMEWHERE ELSE, UM, SO WE CAN CONTINUE PROVIDING THAT, UH, TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, THIS IS MARIN STADIUM, UM, MOTHER'S BEACH, YOU KNOW, ON NAPLES ISLAND. 
          UM, WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, THIS BUILDING OUT A PLAN TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF OUR PARTNERS, THAT'S YOU, THAT'S, UH, UH, LBRA, THAT'S THE YACHT CLUBS, UH, THAT'S OUR BOATING PERMITEES. 
          SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS REALLY WAIT FOR LA 28 TO REALLY DECIDE WHAT THEIR VENUES ARE GONNA LOOK LIKE. 
          AND THEN ONCE WE KNOW THAT WE'LL REALLY BE ABLE TO ADDRESS WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND WHAT WE CAN DO WITH ALL OF OUR PARTNERS WITHIN THAT FOOTPRINT. 
          AND THEN MIKE TYLER AND, UH, JORGE HAVE BEEN SAYING IS, THERE WILL BE IMPACTS, THERE WILL BE RESTRICTIONS, BUT WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE, AND WE'LL WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAINTAIN ACCESS THROUGH THOSE RESTRICTIONS, BUT ALSO IF WE CAN PUT YOU IN ANOTHER LOCATION WITHIN OUR FOOTPRINT SO YOU CAN STAY ACTIVE THE ENTIRE TIME WITHOUT THOSE F UH, RESTRICTIONS. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA TRY TO DO. 
          I THINK WE'RE GONNA BRING IT INSIDE BACK TO JUST THE COMMISSIONERS NOW. 
          AND, UH, WE DO HAVE A GREAT TRACK RECORD IN THE 84 OLYMPICS WHEN DICK MILLER HAD THE POSITION OF THE MIRIAM BUREAU MANAGER AND, UH, WAS EXTRAORDINARILY AGILE. 
          AND THEN WE'VE SEEN TODD LELAND AND HIS STAFF AND THE EXTRAORDINARY WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE, UH, DURING THE MARINA REBUILD AND ACCOMMODATING, UH, OUR LESSEES AND THE, THE, UM, SLIP HOLDERS. 
          SO I HAVE THE, THE CONFIDENCE IN THE MARYBOROUGH STAFF ARE THINKING OF ALL THE WHAT IFS. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT'S PROBABLY WHY TODD DOESN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT. 
          . 
          SO DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE HERE, BEFORE WE, UM, GO AHEAD AND, UM, HAVE OUR VOTE ON THE MOTION? YOU KNOW, I JUST ONE, JUST ONE OTHER COMMENT. 
          IT JUST, WORKING WITH SECRET SERVICE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, THEY HAVE FULL CONTROL. 
          UM, SO NO MATTER WHAT WE DO AS A GROUP, BUT NO MATTER WHAT THE IOC DOES AS A GROUP, THEY COME IN, THEIR STATEMENT IS GOLDEN. 
          THEY'RE IT. 
          SO, UH, UM, JUST SHARING THAT WITH YOU WHEN YOU'RE WORKING WITH THE DIFFERENT SECURITY FUNCTIONS, THEY HAVE FINAL CALL, YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING OUR LATE NIGHT SPECIAL MEETING HERE TODAY. 
          AMEN. 
          TO COME AND GIVE THIS GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          SO I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          YES. 
          AND OAK NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT. 
          E ANSWER. 
          UH, AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO, UM, IF YOU'LL FEED THAT INFORMATION ABOUT THE EMAIL ADDRESS AND THE, UH, AND SOME OF THE WEBSITE THINGS TO TODD, AND HE'LL INCLUDE THAT IN HIS MANAGER REPORT IN THE, THE FUTURE AND POSSIBLY IN THE, UH, READER THAT GOES OUT TO ALL OF THE, UH, RENTEES ON THE SLIPS. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          OKAY. 
          IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, MOVE TO APPROVE. 
          WILL WE HAVE THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND THE SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR? I'LL SECOND O WE DID ALREADY. 
          MM-HMM. 
           IN FAVOR? IN FAVOR. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          OPPOSED? OKAY. 
          UM, WE'RE GONNA TAKE A TWO MINUTE RECESS BEFORE WE CONTINUE ON WITH OUR MEETING. 
          FOR ANYONE THAT CAME SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS TO FEEL EXCUSED, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S A NON-AGENDA ITEM THAT YOU WANNA MAKE A COMMENT AT THE END OF THE MEETING, WE'RE STILL UNDER THE BROWN ACT THAT WE'D BE HAPPY TO HEAR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT OF COURSE WE CAN'T COMMENT OR RESPOND TO IT. 
          AND THE COOKIES ARE REALLY GOOD TO BE ANOTHER HOMEMADE . 
          [01:15:01]

          THANK YOU, . 
          [01:20:02]
WAIT, COMMISSIONER. 
          GOOD JOB, . 
          OKAY. 
          AND CONTINUING ON WITH OUR AGENDA, ITEM THREE, A RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE A MANAGER'S MONTHLY ORAL UPDATES. 
          I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO THAT EFFECT. 
          SECOND. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO MR. LELAND. 
          COULD YOU? ABSOLUTELY. 
          LET'S HOP RIGHT IN. 
          UH, BATTALION CHIEF ABEL, ARE YOU READY FOR A MARINE SAFETY REPORT? HI, UH OH. 
          AM I COMING UP HERE? SURE. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, I, UH, APOLOGIZE FOR MARINE CHIEF MEDINA NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT TONIGHT. 
          HE ASKED ME TO ATTEND AND INSTEAD, SO, UM, I WAS NOT HERE AT THE LAST MEETING OR WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED. 
          UM, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE ARE ENTERING INTO OUR WINTER MONTHS. 
          UH, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THAT ACTIVITY OUT ON THE WATER IS SLOWING DOWN AT ALL. 
          WE STILL GOT A LOT OF ACTIVITY OUT ON THE WATER. 
          YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF SOME MAJOR INCIDENTS WE'VE HAD, UH, RECENTLY. 
          WE HAD A, A MAJOR BOAT EXPLOSION AND FIRE IN THE LA RIVER, UH, LAST WEEK OR TWO WEEKS AGO. 
          UM, SO THERE, THERE IS STILL A LOT OF ACTIVITY OUT ON THE WATER. 
          UM, OUR BOAT, BLESS YOU. 
          BLESS YOU. 
          OUR BOATS ARE STILL OUT THERE, UM, ON A DAILY BASIS. 
          I'M SURE YOU SEE 'EM. 
          UM, I KNOW WITH THIS GROUP THERE'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, CONCERNS ABOUT, UH, VOTING ACTIVITY LATE AT NIGHT OUT ON THE WATER HERE IN THE BAY. 
          SO, AS ALWAYS, WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO CONTINUE TO, UH, CALL PD, CALL FIRE DEPARTMENT, GET OUR UNITS DISPATCHED OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN RESPOND TO THOSE CALLS AND, AND ADDRESS ANY ISSUES THAT ARE OUT OF THE WATER. 
          NOW THAT MOST RECENT EXPLOSION. 
          YEAH. 
          IS IT, DO WE HAVE ANY ROOT CAUSE OR ANY ANALYSIS ON THAT? NO, IT'S STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. 
          I MEAN, YOU CAN ALWAYS JUST SPECULATE IT'S, IT'S GAS FUMES, BUT, UM, HOW IT SPECIFICALLY HAPPENED, WE DON'T KNOW. 
          SO, UM, AND THAT BRINGS A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT WE ALL GET ABOUT, UM, ENFORCEMENT TAKING PLACE. 
          AND HAS THERE BEEN INCREASED ENFORCEMENT GOING ON WITHIN THOSE WATERS OR IN RELATION TO THE, TO, TO INCIDENTS LIKE THAT? OR, UM, AND THEN THERE'S ALWAYS PEOPLE WITH, UM, DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, OR I MEAN, HOW MANY, HOW MANY BOATS ARE PULLED OVER ON THAT? BECAUSE THAT'S ALWAYS, I GONNA SAY IT'S A CONCERN. 
          WE'VE HAD ACCIDENTS HERE LOCALLY IN THE LAST YEAR THAT HAS CAUSED BECAUSE OF THAT. 
          IS THERE, UH, A STEPPED UP ENFORCEMENT IN REGARDS TO CHECKING ON VOTERS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE? YEAH, AS FAR AS, UM, YOU KNOW, AS, AS ANY ENFORCEMENT, UM, WE, WE NEED PROBABLE CAUSE TO STOP A BOAT. 
          AND OFTENTIMES THAT COMES THROUGH A REPORT OF SOMEONE. 
          AND, AND MAINLY IT COMES AS SUPPORT OF RECKLESS BOATING. 
          SO IF WE GET A REPORT THAT THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON OR SOMEONE SEES SOMETHING THAT THEY BELIEVE IS ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, THEN WE'VE GOT, IF WE COME AND TO WITNESS THAT, WE'VE GOT THAT PROBABLE CAUSE. 
          BUT, UH, STOPPING PEOPLE FOR, FOR BEING LOUD AND THEN ASSUMING THAT THAT'S A REASON THAT THEY'VE BEEN DRINKING UNDER INFLUENCE. 
          NO, THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT STOPS THAT WE TYPICALLY MAKE, BUT IF WE ARE CALLED OUT TO A CITIZEN'S CONCERN, OUR UNITS WILL GO OUT THERE AND ASSESS THAT. 
          JUST SO THERE'S NO SAY. 
          I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT THE WATER ALMOST HAS CARTE BLANCHE BECAUSE YOU CAN CHECK FOR LIFE RESERVES. 
          YOU, THERE'S A, A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO FOR SAFETY REASONS. 
          CORRECT. 
          IF YOU HAVE PROBABLE CAUSE TO STOP A BOAT, YOU CAN MAKE THAT ENTIRE SAFETY CHECK. 
          BUT IT'S NOT CARTE BLANCHE TO STOP ANY BOAT YOU WANT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND CHECK, CHECK FOR THOSE THINGS. 
          YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE PROBABLE CAUSE TO TURN THE BLUE LIGHTS ON, WHICH REQUIRE THAT BOAT TO STOP SO THAT YOU CAN TALK COAST GUARD CAT. 
          NOT THAT COAST GUARD CAN COAST GUARD. 
          COAST GUARD CAT. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S DIFFERENT. 
          IT'S CORRECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YEAH. 
          WE WILL MOVE TO MARINE OPERATIONS AND SUPERINTENDENT BRIAN PLAN. 
          GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. 
          UM, KEEP IT SHORT. 
          UM, AS FAR AS OCCUPANCY, WE ARE STILL ROCKING AND ROLLING. 
          WE ARE AT A 94.27% OCCUPANCY, UM, STARTING THIS MONTH. 
          UH, IT'S A TESTAMENT TO THE WORK THAT THE TEAM'S DOING IN THE OFFICES. 
          UM, THEY'RE FILLING SLIPS AND, UH, YOU KNOW, REALLY, REALLY GETTING OUT THERE AND GETTING AFTER IT AHEAD OF TIME. 
          UM, SO WE'RE NOT SEEING A BACKLOG, UH, TRYING TO GET THOSE FILLED UP. 
          UH, WE ARE CONSISTENTLY WORKING ON PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE MEASURES RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, WE'RE WALKING THE DOCKS WITH OUR OPERATIONS TEAMS, UH, COLLABORATING WITH BOTH BEACH MAINTENANCE AND MARINE MAINTENANCE. 
          [01:25:01]
UM, TRYING TO IDENTIFY AREAS THAT, YOU KNOW, IN OUR DOCK SYSTEMS THAT NEED THAT ATTENTION, UH, TO TRY TO REALLY EXTEND THAT LIFESPAN OF THE SYSTEMS, UM, AND GIVE A GOOD VOTING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR PERMIT HOLDERS. 
          UM, WE HAVE A BIG PROJECT GOING DOWN ON THE SHORELINE RIGHT NOW, THE PARKING LOT THAT IS GONNA ENTER PHASE THREE OF CONSTRUCTION, UM, ON NOVEMBER 25TH. 
          UH, WE'RE TRYING TO BE VERY PROACTIVE WITH NOTIFICATION, UH, RAN INTO A LITTLE BIT OF A, UM, LAPSE, UH, I THINK IN THAT COMMUNICATION AND THE FIRST AND SECOND PHASE, UH, TRYING TO MINIMIZE THAT GOING FORWARD. 
          UM, LASTLY, I WANNA INVITE YOU ALL OUT TO AN AWARD CEREMONY FOR THE JELLYFISH BOT. 
          UM, WE PICKED AN ART WINNER, UM, FROM OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. 
          UH, THAT BOT WILL BE BEING WRAPPED, UH, THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS, AND THAT, THAT, UH, PRESENTATION WILL HAPPEN DECEMBER 7TH, UH, BETWEEN 11 AND ONE, UM, ON THE ESPLANADE DOWN BY, UH, PIER POINT LANDING IN THE AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          UM, IS, ARE THERE PLANS TO PURCHASE MORE OF THOSE BOT AND, UH, WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE FUNDING AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? UM, AT THIS TIME, UH, WE DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING ANY ADDITIONAL. 
          UM, WE'RE TESTING IT OUT TO SEE HOW, HOW IT WORKS WITHIN OUR FOOTPRINT. 
          UM, IT IS A EFFICIENT WAY TO CLEAN TRASH, UM, OFF THE DOCK. 
          UM, BUT THE, THE OTHER PARTS OF THE QUESTION, I, I APOLOGIZE. 
          UM, UM, SO, UM, HOW MUCH DOES, DOES IT COST AND WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM? UH, THE, THE FUNDING CAME FROM THE REINA FUND. 
          UM, 'CAUSE WE ARE OPERATING WITHIN OUR MARINA FOOTPRINT, UH, CLEARING OUT THE TRASH. 
          UH, SO IT DID COME FROM REINA FUND. 
          UH, THE, THE COST ON THAT, UH, FOR THE BOT IS 25,000. 
          UM, AND THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL PARTS TO DO WITH IT IN A WARRANTY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEP. 
          ALRIGHT.

          WE'LL START WITH, UH, THE TIDES, UH, TOMORROW AND SATURDAY, UH, EXPECTING, UH, HIGH TIDES. 
          OUR, UH, BAYSIDE BERMS HAVE BEEN, UH, BUILT, UM, AND OUR OCEAN FRONT BERM HAS BEEN, UH, CONTINUOUSLY, UH, FORTIFIED IN PREPARATION. 
          UH, WE ARE EXPECTING, UM, SOME WAVE ACTION, UM, BUT IT'S COMING FROM THE WEST, SO, UH, WE SHOULD NOT BE IMPACTED, UH, ALONG OUR, UH, BEACH AREAS. 
          UH, COUPLE MORE UPDATES. 
          OUR INITIAL PHASE OF THE OCEAN CORE, UH, TRASH CANS FOR THE BEACH AREAS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. 
          WE'LL BE MOVING INTO THE SECOND PHASE AND, UH, PURCHASING MORE OF THOSE. 
          UM, OCTOBER, WE DID ABOUT 69 TONS OF, UH, TRASH AND DEBRIS OFF OF THE BEACHES, UH, AND MARINAS. 
          OUR QUEENSWAY BAY CREW IS STILL WORKING, UM, UH, TO LAUNCH OUR TRASH SKIMMER VESSELS. 
          BUT THE RAINBOW HARBOR, UH, STORM DEBRIS BOOM AND THE LA, UH, COUNTY BOOM ARE UP AND OPERATIONAL. 
          UH, QUEENSWAY BAY IS ALSO WORKING TO REPAIR SOME CIRCULATION PUMPS IN THE RAINBOW LAGOON. 
          WE HAVE A NEW CONTRACTOR THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, UM, SO WE'RE EXCITED TO START THAT PROJECT. 
          SO, UH, AND OUR, OUR GROUNDS DIVISION, OUR LAWN GARDEN, UH, EVENT THAT WE SPOKE A LOT OF, UH, DURING OUR LAST MEETING IS, UH, SATURDAY, UH, THAT WILL BE TAKING PLACE IN THE SHORELINE MARINA. 
          UM, AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO COLLABORATE WITH OUR, UM, LV UTILITIES AND OUR SURF RIDER AND OUR, OUR, OUR DESIGNER ON, UH, SOME MORE, UH, PROJECTS IN THE ALAMEDA BAY AREA. 
          UM, LET'S SEE, WHAT ELSE HERE? WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH OUR TREE TRIMMING SEASON. 
          UM, AND WE'RE ON TRACK TO, UH, COMPLETE ALL OF OUR PLANT TREES, UH, FOR THIS SEASON. 
          AND THAT'S ALL THE UPDATES I HAVE FOR YOU, YOU KNOW, OUT DRIVING AROUND AND LOOKING AT, UH, UH, JUST THE TRASH IN SOME OF THE AREAS. 
          YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT'S UNDER YOUR TUTELAGE IS CLEAN, YET WE HAVE PUBLIC AREAS. 
          THE RESTAURANT'S DOWN ON, UH, UM, WHAT'S THE NAME OF THAT RESTAURANT? ROAD DOWN THERE? DOWNTOWN PINE, NOT PINE. 
          WHERE? RAINBOW HARBOR. 
          RAINBOW HARBOR. 
          LORDY, UH, TRASH CAN'S OVERFLOWING. 
          AND I KNOW THAT'S, THE CITY MAINTENANCE IS SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING CARE OF THAT AND NOT THE BEACH MAINTENANCE, BUT WOW. 
          I MEAN, IT, IT JUST, IT IT, IT LOOKED UGLY. 
          THE GO OF LONG BEACH APP TRASH CAN. 
          YEAH. 
          THE, THE, UM, THERE, THERE IS, WE, OUR, OUR CITY TEAM, UH, AND OUR CONTRACTORS DO MAINTAIN ALSO UNDER BEACH MAINTENANCE, THE QUEENSWAY BAY FOOTPRINT, SOME OF THE, UH, PUBLIC CANS AROUND, UH, OKAY. 
          [01:30:01]
 HARBOR. 
          UM, BUT WE HAVE GOT SOME GO LONG BEACH REQUESTS AND SOME COMPLAINTS REGARDING, UM, SOME OVERFLOWING TRASH CANS AROUND SHORELINE VILLAGE, UH, THAT AREN'T UNDER OURS. 
          UH, WHEN WE DO RECEIVE ANY COMPLAINTS, WE, WE TRY TO FORWARD THOSE TO THE RIGHT, UH, DEPARTMENT OKAY. 
          TO TAKE CARE OF. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S AN OCEAN FRIENDLY GARDEN, UM, EVENT HAPPENING ON SATURDAY. 
          THE SURF RIDER FOUNDATION IN LONG BEACH IS WORKING ON AN AREA OUTSIDE OF THE MARINE BUREAU, ISN'T IT? OVER ON ALAMEDAS BAY. 
          UH, THIS ON SATURDAY. 
          THIS, THIS COMING SATURDAY. 
          IT'S DOWN NEAR SHORELINE MARINA IS THE ACTUAL EVENT. 
          UH, IT'S A SMALL ROUNDABOUT. 
          UH, THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S PLANNED FOR, UH, THIS COMING EVENT. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, AND THEN, UH, SOME OF THE, THE, THE SLIDES THAT WE WENT OVER IN THE PREVIOUS MEETING AND SOME OF OUR IDEAS, UM, ARE GONNA BE TAKING PLACE IN THE ALAMEDA BAY AREA. 
          OKAY. 
          SO NOTHING THIS WEEKEND IN FRONT OF MARINE BUREAU. 
          MM-HMM. 
          I THOUGHT THAT CIRCLE WAS GONNA BE PART OF THE PLAN. 
          THAT CIRCLE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. 
          ALREADY DONE. 
          WE ALREADY DID. 
          ALAMEDA BAY, IF YOU GO DOWN, UH, WHEN YOU'RE TURNING INTO, ONTO SHORELINE MARINA DRIVE, YES. 
          SHORELINE VILLAGE TRACK. 
          EXCUSE ME. 
          UH, THE ROUNDABOUT AT THE END RIGHT THERE. 
          GOT IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I WAS CONFUSED ON WHICH ROUND WE'RE TRYING TO KIND OF GO BACK AND FORTH AND MOVE, MOVE THE PROJECTS AROUND. 
          GOT IT. 
          I HAD A QUESTION. 
          UM, I KNOW AS WE GET CLOSER TO STORM SEASON, YOU GUYS BUILD THE LIKE, OR DIG OUT THE SAND BY THE DRAINS THAT ARE ON THE BEACH. 
          SO IT KIND OF CREATES LIKE A DRAIN AND THEN, YOU KNOW, BIG BERMS OF SAND ON THE SIDES AND LIKE GROWING UP, COMING DOWN TO LONG BEACH, I'VE ALWAYS JUST LIKE ACCEPTED THAT THAT'S HOW THE BEACH LOOKS DURING STORM SEASON. 
          AND I'M SURE A PROJECT TO FIX THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE EXTENSIVE, BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THERE'S OTHER OPTIONS BECAUSE A LOT OF THE TIME THAT ENDS UP BEING A LOT OF SITTING WATER THERE AND THEN THERE'S, YOU KNOW, KIDS KIND OF HANGING OUT, THEY LIKE TO CLIMB ON THE BERMS AND STUFF, AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THAT'S KIND OF NOT CLEAN. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU GUYS HAVE LOOKED INTO OR A DIFFERENT OPTION FOR THAT. 
          UM, I HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY, UH, LARGER PLANS TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE EXTEND THOSE DRAIN OUT FARTHER SO THEY DON'T HAVE SO MUCH AN IMPACT ON THE, THE PUBLIC, UH, BEACH AREAS. 
          IT IS IMPORTANT, IMPORTANT PART OF OUR OPERATION TO MAKE SURE THOSE ARE OPEN BEFORE THE RAIN SEASON. 
          SO IT ALLOWS FOR THAT DRAINAGE FROM THE COMMUNITIES, UM, TO IMPACT, UH, AND, AND GET OUT TO THE OCEAN. 
          UM, WE DO WORK ON, UH, CLEANING THOSE, UH, AS BEST WE CAN AFTER EVENTS. 
          UH, WE ALSO, UH, SOMETIMES COINCIDE WITH STORM EVENTS WHERE STORM WATER FROM THE OCEAN WILL ACTUALLY WASH UP INTO THOSE DRAINS. 
          UH, SO WE'LL BRING SOME EQUIPMENT OUT TO, TO KIND OF CLEAN THOSE UP A BIT. 
          UM, AND, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY THE, UH, STORM, THE STORM SEASON ISN'T AS BAD AND WE CAN GET THOSE CLEANED UP AND, AND COVERED BACK UP AT THE END. 
          I, I GOTTA AGREE WITH YOU IN THE SENSE OF SIGNAGE, MY GRAND BABIES WENT OUT THERE, UH, IT WAS, AND IT WAS JUST LIKE THEY WANTED TO RUN TO IT AND I WENT, OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. 
          LOTS OF LOTS OF FOAM IN THAT ONE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FOAM'S FROM, BUT I MEAN, HAVING, AND MAYBE EVEN POSTING SIGNS OR PUTTING YELLOW TAPE, IT'S JUST KEEPING THE KIDS OUT OF IT AND KEEPING THE DOGS OUT OF IT. 
          UM, JUST A THOUGHT. 
          JUST A THOUGHT. 
          ALRIGHT, WE'LL GO TO COREY FORSTER AND MARINE MAINTENANCE. 
          COREY, IT'S LIKE, I WANT TO CHANT FOR YOU. 
          COLE .

          UM, ONE LAST YEAR WAS SOLAR AND THIS YEAR WE HAVE NINE ADDITIONAL SOLAR TREES OVER IN COLORADO LAGOON. 
          UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE JUST GOT OUR FOUR, UH, I BUOYS, SO WE'LL BE PLACING THOSE IN THE COMING WEEKS.

          AND WE'RE WAITING ON THE, A BUOY TO COME IN. 
          IT'S DUE THIS WEEK AND HASN'T SHOWN UP YET, SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL COME IN SOON.

          I KNOW IN A SPACE AVAILABLE, UH, AT TIME BASIS THAT YOU GUYS WORK ON THE INTERIOR OF THE MARINE BUREAU OFFICE, 
          [01:35:01]
BUT THERE'S ONE SECTION WHERE IT'S BEEN PRIMED THAT IT DRIVES ME CRAZY THAT THERE'S JUST THE LINES, THE AS IT GOES UP THE STAIRS. 
          AND IF WE COULD JUST GET THAT, I KNOW IT'S 50% COMPLETE AND IT'S BEEN KIND OF YEAH. 
          RIGHT AROUND THERE FOR A LONG TIME. 
          WORKED ON THAT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          WE CAN DO A TEAM THING IF YOU WANT. 
          IT WON'T BE A BROWN AS . 
          YEAH. 
          THE TREES LOOKED FABULOUS AND IT WAS WONDERFUL THAT THEY WERE, UM, SO MUCH ON SCHEDULE AND, UM, IF PEOPLE WERE EXCITED WHEN THEY WERE EVEN GETTING TESTED, THAT I WAS AMAZED HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS PEOPLE WERE IN THE TABLE. 
          THERE WAS TOO MANY PHONE CALLS, IT ALREADY TURNED GONE. 
          I'M LIKE, WELL, NO. 
          NO. 
          SO WE WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO THANKSGIVING EVENING. 
          DEFINITELY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          WELL, THANK YOU. 
          THANKS COREY. 
          ALRIGHT, THAT, UH, PRETTY MUCH WRAPS UP OUR MANAGEMENT REPORT, UH, FROM MY END. 
          JUST WANT TO THANK, UH, UH, JORGE AND TYLER FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. 
          UH, THE OLYMPICS ARE FOUR YEARS AWAY, BUT IT ALSO FEELS LIKE FOUR DAYS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UH, WE ARE WORKING OUR TAILS OFF. 
          WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH THEM AND THEIR OFFICE ON A WEEKLY BASIS. 
          UH, WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO AS YOU SAW FROM THE, THEIR PRESENTATION. 
          UH, MOST OF THE VENUES ARE IN OUR FOOTPRINT, SO THEY WILL HAVE IMPACTS. 
          UH, BUT OUR, OUR PROMISE FROM THE MARINE BUREAU IS THAT WE'RE GONNA DO OUR BEST TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR PARTNERS IS TAKEN CARE OF THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS. 
          SO, UH, WITH THAT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THAT IS IT. 
          SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND, UH, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OR COMMISSIONERS. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ANYTHING, ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THOSE REPORTS THAT CAME THROUGH FROM THE PUBLIC? YES, SIR. 
          YES. 
          YOUR NAME AND YEAH, MY NAME'S TIM ERLICH. 
          UM, I'M WITH BOA, BUT THIS IS, DOES NOT HAVE TO DO WITH BOA. 
          UM, AND, AND IT'S, IT'S MORE OF A QUESTION THAN IT IS, IS IT? UH, IT DOESN'T RELATE TO THE, UM, MANAGER'S REPORT. 
          IT DOES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IT DOESN'T SPECIFICALLY TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE JURISDICTION AROUND THE MARINAS. 
          DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AND IF IT DOESN'T THAT'S OKAY. 
          WE WON'T BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT IF IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WAS IN THAT REPORT, THE TIMING NEEDS IT'S THREE MINUTES. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'LL BE THREE MINUTES IF WE CAN. 
          YEAH. 
          SO TIM, I I RECOMMEND ASKING YOUR QUESTION IF WE CAN ANSWER IT, WE WILL. 
          WE'LL, IF YOU CAN. 
          YEAH. 
          CLOSE. 
          AND, AND IT REALLY IS, IS TO REGARDS TO VENDOR PERMITS AROUND THE MARINAS AND SPECIFICALLY, AND THIS IS WITH REGARDS TO, TO, TO MARINA, UH, TO RAINBOW HARBOR AND THE VENDORS, ESPECIALLY THE VOCAL  OF VENDORS AROUND RAINBOW HARBOR. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF NOISE DISTRACTION THAT IS OCCURRING REGARDING BOAT OWNERSHIP AROUND RAINBOW HARBOR AND ITS TRANSGRESSION INTO THAT AREA THAT'S GOING ON FOR 10 HOURS A DAY ON THE WEEKENDS. 
          UM, UM, IT'S VERY LOUD AND IT'S, IT'S HAPPENING ON THE GREEN, JUST ABOVE RAINBOW HARBOR AND JURISDICTION TO CONTROL THAT. 
          AND MAYBE TO LIMIT IT BECAUSE IT'S BEYOND EVERYTHING. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S OUT OF, OUT OF TEXT OR OUT OF CONTEXT TO THIS PARTICULAR THING. 
          LEMME LIKE, BE CHAIR WITH YOUR PERMISSION. 
          I'D LIKE TO ADD TO OUR REPORT BEFORE THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. 
          UH, SO I'D LIKE TO REPORT REAL QUICK ON OUR OPERATIONS IN THE RAINBOW HARBOR SHORELINE AREA. 
          UH, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF STREET VENDING FOOD TRUCK VENDING IN THAT AREA. 
          UH, THE CITY HAS, OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS WORKED ON AND IMPLEMENTED A STREET VENDING AND FOOD TRUCK POLICY. 
          UNFORTUNATELY, THAT POLICY COVERS UPLANDS. 
          IT'S STILL UNDER REVIEW, UH, BY THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION FOR THE TIDELANDS AREA UNTIL THAT IS APPROVED BY COASTAL COMMISSION ARE ARE TI FOOD. 
          BEN STREET BENDING AND FOOD TRUCKS IN THE THAILANDS, UH, IS STILL SUBJECT TO OVERSIGHT BY, UH, SENATE STATE SENATE BILL 15, SOMETHING THAT THAT SAFEGUARDS THEIR RIGHT TO BE THERE AND DO THOSE THINGS. 
          NOW, IF THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW, IF THEY ARE BREAKING A MUNICIPAL CODE WHEN IT RELATES TO NOISE, UH, HEALTH CODE, IT RELATES, UH, RELATES TO SPILLING OIL, OIL, FOOD, WATER, ANYTHING LIKE THAT, UH, I RECOMMEND THAT PEOPLE CALL, UH, 4 3 5 6 M1 ONE. 
          OUTSIDE OF THAT, THEY HAVE A STATE MANDATED RIGHT TO BE THERE. 
          THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT ADDITION TO YOUR REPORT, . 
          AND I THINK WITH THAT WE'LL GO AHEAD AND VOTE TO RECEIVE 
          [01:40:01]
AND FILE THE, UM, ORAL REPORTS THAT WE RECEIVE. 
          UM, I'LL IN FAVOR, AYE. 
          AYE, ANY OPPOSED OR NO? OKAY. 
          ARE NOW WE'LL HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE OUR COMMITTEE STATUS REPORTS. 
          I ENTERTAIN THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND. 
          AND WE OF COURSE HAD AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING WHERE WE SET THE AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING, AND I DON'T THINK THERE WERE ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT WE DISCUSSED THAT, UM, NO MA'AM. 
          NEED TO BE SHARED. 
          UM, AND THEN OUR, UH, FINANCE COMMITTEE WAS NOT HILL OR THAT THAT'LL BE NEXT. 
          IT WAS AT MEET OPERATIONS WAS RIGHT. 
          LACKED A QUORUM. 
          SO THERE WOULD BE NO REPORT THERE. 
          NO REPORT THERE. 
          ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMITTEE REPORTS FROM ANY OTHER SUBCOMMITTEES? UM, I CAN REPORT ON THE, UM, SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE HISTORIC POINT OF INTEREST ON THE 1938 SURFING, UH, UH, UH, UH, RECOGNITION BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. 
          OUR COMMITTEE CONTINUES TO MEET MONTHLY. 
          WE'LL BE DARK AND ODD DECEMBER, BUT MEET AGAIN IN JANUARY. 
          I AM, UH, PLEASED TO TELL YOU THAT WE ARE WAITING RIGHT NOW ABOUT, UH, NEWS FOR OUR FIRST GRANT THAT WE'VE REQUESTED. 
          AND, UM, WE'RE IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SITES THAT WE FEEL MIGHT BE, UH, UH, APPROPRIATE FOR WHATEVER THE COMMITTEE DEEMS TO BE, THE KIND OF, UH, PHYSICAL MARKER, A SCULPTURE OR A PLAQUE OR SERIES OF PLAQUES. 
          UM, WE'RE STILL IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, AND, UH, WE MET WITH MEMBERS OF THE, UH, DIRECTOR OF THE LONG BEACH HISTORICAL SOCIETY RECENTLY WHO GAVE US SOME, UM, VERY USEFUL ADVICE ABOUT HOW TO MOVE FORWARD IN TERMS OF ORGANIZING. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE RIGHT NOW. 
          AND COMMISSIONER, I SPOKE WITH, UH, THE MAYOR IN REGARDS TO HIS SUPPORT OF IT AND HE IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF IT. 
          JUST ONCE AGAIN, HIS, HIS, HIS WORRY WAS LAST WEEK, THE BIG, THE BIG PAPER WITH ALL THE CHANGES THAT ARE GONNA BE GOING YES. 
          UH, DOWN. 
          BUT, UH, I TOLD HIM WE WOULD ADVISE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          YES. 
          ANY OTHER COMMITTEE REPORTS? ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THOSE REPORTS? HOW ABOUT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC? ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE COMMITTEE REPORTS? OKAY, WELL THEN WE'LL TALK WITH THE QUESTION. 
          ALL IN FAVOR OF ACCEPTING THE, UH, COMMITTEE REPORTS AS DIS AS PRESENTED. 
          AYE, AYE. 
          AYE. 
          OPPOSED? ALRIGHT. 
          AND THAT MOVES US ON TO, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT, PUBLIC COMMENT ON, ON ANYTHING THAT DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA. 
          AND TO REITERATE WHAT I SAID BEFORE, UM, WE'D LOVE TO RESPOND TO IT, BUT THE BROWN HAT, UM, PROHIBITS THAT. 
          BUT ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC HAVE ANYTHING TO BRING FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER? JOE? UM, SO THANK YOU. 
          I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE SPEAK NAME. 
          OH, MY NAME IS JOAN LANGO. 
          WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? THERE YOU GO. 
          WHO ARE YOU? COME ON, JOAN. 
          OH MY GOD. 
          DON, GIVE HER THE MIC. 
           CC CLUB MEMBER. 
          UM, MY NAME'S JOAN LANGO AND I'M THE, RIGHT NOW I'M SPEAKING AS THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE LONG BEACH MARINA BOAT OWNERS ASSOCIATION. 
          THAT REPRESENTS THE 3,600 SLIP HOLDERS IN THE MARINA ENTERPRISE SYSTEM. 
          AND WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK AND, AND RECOGNIZE, UM, TODD AND BRIAN FOR THE SUPPORT THAT THEY GIVE US. 
          AND THEY COME TO OUR MONTHLY BOARD MEETINGS AND, UM, KEEP US APPRISED OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE MARINA SYSTEM. 
          SO WE ARE VERY THANKFUL TO HAVE THAT CONNECTION. 
          UM, IN REGARDS, JUST TO THE OLYMPICS, UM, BOA DOES HAVE, PART OF ITS DIRECTIVE IS EDUCATION. 
          AND IN THE PAST WE'VE DONE THAT WITH, UH, UM, BOAT OWNER SAFETY CLASSES. 
          UM, WE'RE CONSIDERING TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO, THERE'S A LOT OF EDUCATION THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO GO ON WITH THE OLYMPICS TO GET PEOPLE TRAINED FOR THESE POSITIONS TO BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THE RACES. 
          UM, AND SO WE'RE GONNA TRY TO FOCUS ON HOW WE CAN BE A PART OF THAT. 
          THAT'S AN STUDY. 
          SO THE, UM, THIS IS A, THE, UM, THE CLEAN WATER, THE WATER QUALITY PROGRAM. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE PROBABLY ALL SEEN THIS, THIS IS ALL FROM, FROM THE REPORT, FROM TAKEN FROM A DOCUMENT THAT'S BEEN PREPARED ON THIS. 
          AND I'D JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT, AND I'M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP BECAUSE YOU HAVE THIS MORE, MORE LEVERAGE THAN WE DO. 
          OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A TWO YEAR PERIOD HERE, BEST CASE WHERE AFTER THE PUMPS ARE GONNA BE TURNED OFF AND THE 
          [01:45:01]
NEW SYSTEM, WHATEVER THAT'S GONNA TURN OUT TO BE, IS NOT GONNA BE IN PLACE. 
          AND THERE'S TWO YEARS, BEST CASE THAT THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN FROM 2026 TO 2028. 
          UM, ASSUMING THAT THE PUMPS REPLACEMENT GETS INTO EFFECT BY 2028. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TWO YEARS. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE IN THIS LITTLE DIAGRAM HERE, THIS IS ALL FROM COLLIN'S REPORT, UM, THAT THERE'S, WATER CIRCULATION IS A REAL ISSUE WITHOUT THOSE PUMPS. 
          AND THERE'S NOTHING REALLY IN PLACE. 
          NO ONE'S TALKED. 
          IT'S NOT UNDER ANYBODY'S DIRECTION TO FIGURE OUT THOSE TWO YEARS. 
          SO MY REQUEST IS PLEASE ASK ABOUT THOSE TWO YEARS. 
          AND, UH, THE REST OF IT SEEMS TO BE MOVING ALONG. 
          UM, WE'RE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT IT LOOKS, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY'VE GONE THROUGH SOME STUFF. 
          SO WE'RE REAL HAPPY ABOUT THAT. 
          IT'S JUST THOSE TWO YEARS AND I'VE NEVER GOTTEN AN ANSWER FROM ANY, ANYBODY ABOUT THOSE TWO YEARS. 
          SO THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO JUST ADD IS THAT WE HAVE, SO TIM ICK HAS SUBMITTED HIS APPLICATION TO BE A MAC MEMBER, BOARD MEMBER, UM, THROUGH THE, UM, MAYOR'S PORTAL. 
          UM, WE VERY MUCH LIKE TO HAVE A BOAT OWNER AND A BO A MEMBER FROM THE BOARD ON THE MAC. 
          UM, AGAIN, REPRESENTING THE 3,600 SLIP FOLDER WHO PAY 90% OF THE BILLS. 
          WE FEEL THAT THAT'S APPROPRIATE. 
          AND SO THIS IS JUST A COPY OF THE LETTER THAT I'VE SENT SUPPORTING TIM. 
          THERE'S A SIMILAR COPY THAT'S COME FROM TOM MAYS, UM, WHO WAS ON THE BOARD. 
          UM, TED'S DONE SOME DUE DILIGENCE AND TALKED TO SEVERAL OF YOU. 
          UM, HE'S BEEN ON THE BOA BOARD FOR MAYBE A YEAR NOW. 
          HAS MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          WE'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH OUR WEBSITE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. 
          HE'S GOTTEN THAT RESOLVED AS A DIFFICULT SITUATION. 
          HE'S GOTTEN THAT RESOLVED. 
          HE'S EARNED ALL OF OUR TRUST AND RESPECT. 
          AND SO TOM AND I HAVE BOTH RECOMMENDED HIM. 
          UM, WE'VE SENT SOME LETTERS AND TALKED TO SOME OF YOU AS WELL. 
          SO ANYWAY, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO PUT THAT FORWARD AND, UM, IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO FAST TRACK THAT, JUST MAKE YOU AWARE THAT, THAT TIM HAS, UM, THE SUPPORT OF BOA TO BE ON THE BOARD. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          OKAY. 
          OH, WE HAVE A COUPLE COMMITTEE. 
          OH, WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE MORE? NO MORE. 
          OH YES. 
          COMMODORE. 
          HI, SALLY.

          AND IN, UM, EARLY INTERVIEWS HE DID, UH, A LOT OF VOLUNTEER WORK ON BOARDS AND COMMITTEES TO MAKE LONG BEACH BETTER. 
          BUT HE FELT HIS WORK ON A COMMISSION. 
          IT WASN'T THIS COMMISSION, UM, IT WAS THE PARKING COMMISSION FOR BELMONT SHORE, BUT HE FELT THAT THAT WAS THE MOST VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION HE MADE TO HIS COMMUNITY, WAS THAT TYPE OF VOLUNTEERISM. 
          SO IN KEN'S HONOR ADJOURNED, AMEN.
