WE'RE HERE TO LISTEN, TO LEARN, AND TO ENSURE THAT THE VOICES OF THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY ARE AT THE HEART OF THIS PROCESS.
THE DISABILITY DATA AND COMMUNITY SURVEY WILL HELP LONG BEACH CREATE POLICIES AND PROGRAMS THAT TRULY WORK FOR INCLUDING PEOPLE LIKE US.
WE ARE WORKING WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE.

THIS IS HOW WE BUILD A BARRIER FREE ENVIRONMENT.

OR CALL 5 6 2 5 7 0 6 2 5 7 2 5.
YOUR VOICE, YOUR FUTURE, YOUR LAUNCH.
SO WHAT IS THE DISABILITY DATA COMMUNITY SURVEY AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? WELL, THE KEY OBJECTIVES OF THIS SURVEY, UM, WHICH IS CO-CREATED BY
AND FINALLY, INFORMING THE CITY LEADERSHIP IN AMENDING AND CREATING POLICIES, PROGRAMS, AND PROCEDURES THAT ENSURE FULL PARTICIPATION, UH, AND INCLUSIVE ACCESS.
WHO SHOULD TAKE THE DISCIPLINE SURVEY? PEOPLE DI WITH DIAGNOSED AND UNDIAGNOSED DISABILITIES WHO LIVE, WORK, ATTEND SCHOOL, OR SPEND ANY TIME IN LONG BEACH.
PEOPLE CAN ACCESS THE SURVEY ONLINE AT THE CITY'S WEBSITE OR VIA PHONE BY CALLING MY OFFICE.
HARD COPIES OF THE SURVEY ARE AVAILABLE AT ANY OF THE LONG BEACH PUBLIC LIBRARIES STARTING NEXT WEEK.
UH, THE LAST DAY TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY IS ACTUALLY ON MAY 1ST, 2026.
IT'S A VERY LONG WINDOW FOR THIS SURVEY TO BE OPEN, BUT AS WE ALL, UM, UH, MOST OF US KNOW, THE DISABILITY POPULATION IS A VERY HARD TO REACH POPULATION, AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE GET AT LEAST 10% OF THE POPULATIONS, UH, FEEDBACK, WHICH IS ABOUT 4,500 PEOPLE.
UM, BUT, UH, THIS, THIS SURVEY WILL HOPEFULLY HELP OUR LEADERSHIP, NOT JUST OUR ELECTED LEADERSHIP, UM, UH, KNOW WHAT WHAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS AND, UM, HOW WE LIVE LIFE.
UM, PEOPLE CAN ACCESS THIS SURVEY AT THIS QR CODE.
I WILL BE SENDING HEIDI A PACKET WITH ACTUAL, UM, TANGIBLE FLYERS FOR ALL OF YOU.
UM, AND, UM, I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO TAKE THE SURVEY OR, UM, UH, GET OTHER PEOPLE TO TAKE THE SURVEY.
UM, AS WE ALL KNOW, DISABILITY IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE JUST BORN INTO OR TO, OR INTO.
PEOPLE ACQUIRE DISABILITIES THROUGH ILLNESS OR INJURY.
AND AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER, IT'S GOING TO AFFECT OUR LIFE, WHETHER IT'S BY SOMEBODY IN OUR POST CIRCLE OR FAMILY OR US PERSONALLY.
UM, THE DISABILITY POPULATION IS THE ONLY POPULATION THAT PEOPLE CAN BECOME A PART OF AT ANY TIME IN THEIR LIFE.
UM, SO WE'RE NOT ONLY DOING THIS WORK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING DISABILITY, BUT FOR PEOPLE WILL BECOME DISABLED.
UM, THIS SURVEY WAS FUNDED BY A ONE-TIME,
[00:10:01]
UM, UH, CONTRIBUTION FROM THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.AND THE WORK WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.
HOPEFULLY IT'LL BE CULMINATING IN THE CITY'S FIRST EVER STATE OF DISABILITY IN THE CITY OF LONG BEACH REPORT.
UM, AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.
ANY QUESTIONS? DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MAKING UP THAT, UH, SURVEY? YES.
SO WE TOOK ABOUT A GOOD NINE MONTHS, UH, WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, THE COMMISSION, AND WITH, UM, FOLKS FROM CAL STATE LONG BEACH IN DEVELOPING SURVEY QUESTIONS.
UH, WE THROUGH EVERY QUESTION AT THE WALL AND, UM, WE'VE COME UP WITH A, ABOUT A 15 MINUTE SURVEY, ABOUT 45 QUESTIONS THAT WE FEEL WILL, UM, MEET THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PLACE ON US.
UM, AND, UH, WE'LL HELP THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE WOULD LIKE US LIVE OUR LIVES.
THE VIDEO JUST WATCHED HOW KEEP PEOPLE ACCESS WHEN YOU GO TO THIS, THE WEBSITE THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU ON THE DO, UH, ON THE, UH,
UM, UH, BUT IT'S ALSO SHOWING ON LPT V THREE FOR THE VARIATION OF THE, UH, SURVEY, WHICH WILL BE MADE FIRST.
I'M CURIOUS OF THE PROCESS OF THAT, UH, THAT YOU WENT THROUGH TO GET APPROVAL FOR THE SURVEY.
UH, DID, DID THE FIRST SUGGESTION COME FROM YOUR OFFICE? FROM LIKE, FROM THE COMMISSION, THE VISIBILITY COMMISSION OR SO, SO I AM THE, THE STAFF LIAISON.
UM, SO I'M THE STAFF LIAISON FOR, UH, ADVISORY DISABIL.
THEY'VE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT DATA.
A LOT OF, A LOT OF THE WORK THAT WE, THAT THEY WANT TO DO REQUIRE, REQUIRES DATA, UHHUH,
UM, THE LAST CENSUS WAS, UM, NOT AS COMPREHENSIVE AS IT PROBABLY COULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE WE WERE EXPERIENCING AN ENTIRE PANDEMIC DURING THAT TIME.
SO THIS HARD TO REACH POPULATION WAS EVEN HARDER TO REACH.
UM, SO THE, THE, THE COMMISSION WROTE A LETTER TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL REQUESTING ONE TIME FUNDS, BUT WE DID A LOT OF BACK BACK RESEARCH.
HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST? WHAT, WHAT, WHAT DOES THE WORK LOOK LIKE? HOW MUCH TIME WOULD WE NEED? SO WE ALREADY HAVE THAT INFORMATION GOING INTO THE REQUEST PRIOR TO THE FY 25 BUDGET APPROVAL.
UM, AND THAT LETTER WAS PRESENTED TO MAYOR IN CITY COUNCIL.
THE COMMISSION THEN REACHED OUT TO, UM, THE BUDGET OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, WHICH IS, UM, SHARED BY, UH, COUNCILWOMAN, UH, DR.
SO WE ADVOCATED FOR THE $60,000, UM, AND THEY DECIDED TO APPROVE IT, UM, WITH THE, WITH THE, UM, SIMULATION THAT, UM, THIS SURVEY BE DONE.
BY THE TIME THE, UH, 2028 PARALYMPICS AND OLYMPICS COME THAT WAY, THE INFORMATION CAN BETTER HELP SERVE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE VISITING LONG BEACH, UM, BY THE THOUSANDS.
THAT'S EXTREMELY HELPFUL TO US.
MS.
UH, UH, THE CENSUS TELLS US THAT 45,000 PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES LIVE IN THE CITY OF LONG.
OUR GOAL IS TO GET 4,500 SURVEYS COMPLETED, WHICH IS A PERCENT OF THE POPULATION.
UM, SERVING IS VERY DIFFICULT.
UM, UM, BUT, UH, WE, WE HAD, UH, A GREAT KICKOFF, UH, IN JANUARY 15TH WHERE PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO, UM, ENJOY A HOT MEAL, TAKE THE SURVEY, AND THEN WHEN, UM, ANSEC TIPS, LIKE GIFT CARDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE, UM, EVENTS LIKE THAT COMING UP IN THE FUTURE, WHICH I WILL SEND HEIDI THE, THE FLYERS TO PROVIDE TO YOU.
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC ACTIVITY HAVE A QUESTION LIKE
I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING PAMPHLETS OR BROCHURES.
UM, I'M A MEMBER OF THIS CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH DOWNTOWN AND LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE CAN DISTRIBUTE IT TO PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY SO THAT MAYBE THERE'S A HARD COPY THAT THEY CAN SEE TO, TO WORK.
MAD CLERK, PLEASE CALL COMMISSIONER CIA.
CHAIR CLARK, VICE CHAIR SALCITO.
COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT, COMMISSIONER SUTHERLAND MOTION IS CARRIED.
[00:15:03]
ITEM THREE, RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE A PRESENTATION FROM CITY STAFF ON CITY BUDGET AND BUDGET PROCESS.WE WILL HAVE A MOTION MOVED BY COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT.
KI AM THE, UH, BUDGET MANAGEMENT OFFICER IN THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT.
AND I DO WANT TO REALLY MAKE YOU GUYS APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT INVITE TO SPEAK TO YOU TODAY.
BUT THE PROCESS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT PROCESS TO US.
WE REALLY KICKED OFF AS WE START THE NEW FISCAL YEAR.
SO I JUST HAVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW THAT I WILL START TO GET INTO, WHICH I'LL BE PRESENTING A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CITY'S BUDGETS AND HOW IT WORKS AND THE BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
I'M ALSO JOINED HERE WITH THE, UH, FEW DEPARTMENTS.
I'M JAN
WIND PROGRAM, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS ALSO, THEY WILL ALSO PROVIDE SOME, SOME SPECIFICS WORK OUR PROGRAMS FINDINGS TO
WELL WE JUMPED TO THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
I REALLY WANTED TO TOUCH ON WHAT IS RELATED, WHY DO WE HAVE A BUDGET? SO THIS BUDGET'S REALLY IMPORTANT PROCESS, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT.
IT REALLY IMPACTS ANYBODY THAT LIVES IN THE CITY, WORKS IN THE CITY, WHAT IS JUST INVOLVED AROUND THE CITY.
SO IT TOUCHES A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IT'S BRILLIANT, IMPORTANT DOCUMENT THAT JUST KIND OF REFLECTS THE PLANNING AND ROADMAP AS TO WHERE THE CITY IS PUTTING ITS FUNDS AND WHERE THE CITY NEEDS IS SHARED.
IT'S ALSO REQUIRED THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE A BUDGET PLANNING.
SO OUR CITY CHARTER REQUIRES US TO ACTUALLY MAKE AN ANNUAL BUDGET THAT THE CITY MANAGER PROPOSES TO THE, UH, THE MAYOR, THE COUNCIL AND GET US THE
WE HAVE, UH, 22 FINANCIAL POLICIES THAT HELP GUIDE US THROUGH THIS BUDGET PROCESS.
SO IT'S A LOT OF ITEMS, BUT JUST TO CALL OUT A COUPLE.
FOR EXAMPLE, THERE IS, UH, FISCAL POLICIES TO SAY WE NEED TO BALANCE THE BUDGET.
THIS IS MAKING THE STRUCTURAL BUDGET.
THAT MEANS ONGOING RESIDUES WILL ADVISE WHICH ONGOING EXPENDITURES, UH, FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN HERE THROUGH THE COVID TIME.
WE KNOW THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE BECAUSE OF THE CHALLENGES DURING THE PANDEMIC.
AND WE HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF FEDERAL DOLLARS HAVE STABILIZED THAT TIME.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE A, UH, FINANCIAL POLICY THAT HELPS US SAY THAT WE CAN MAKE CHANGES DURING THE, BECAUSE WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS ONCE A YEAR, BUT THERE'S AGENTS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR THAT HELPS GUIDE US THROUGH THE REVENUES OR GRANTS OPPORTUNITIES THAT COME UP THAT WEREN'T SEEN DURING THIS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
SO THOSE ARE CHANGES THAT WE CAN MAKE DURING THE DEVELOPMENT.
UH, WE ALSO KNOW THAT FUNDING PROCESS IS LIMITED 'CAUSE WE HAVE FINITE RESOURCES.
WE ARE GUIDED BY OUR RESOURCES, OUR REVENUES, AND WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE.
AND THAT MEANS THE BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS IS FILLED WITH TRADE OFFS AND JUST NEEDS INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY ON WHAT
WE HAVE A $3.7 BILLION BUDGET.
THAT'S A PRETTY LARGE BUDGET OF 6,200 MILLION, VERY LARGE, BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THAT $6.7 BILLION.
AND THE WAY THE CITY OPERATES, WE HAVE 36 DIFFERENT BUDGETED FUND GROUPS.
AND EACH OF THESE FUND GROUPS ARE SPECIFIC FOR A PURPOSE.
THEY ARE ALMOST LIKE THOSE LITTLE MINI BUSINESSES THAT ARE OPERATING FOR SPECIFIC REASONING THAT ARE DEVELOPED ALL TOGETHER, COMBINED BOTH IN THE, THE $3.7 BILLION BUDGET.
SO A COUPLE EXAMPLES OF THOSE ARE ENTERPRISE FUNDS.
THESE ARE FUNDS LIKE THE HARBOR FUND, THE, UH, TERRITORY FUND, ALSO THE WATER AND SEWER FUND.
THESE ARE VERY RESTRICTED FUNDS THAT GENERATE RENT THAT ARE INVESTED RIGHT BACK INTO THOSE PURPOSES.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, WATER AND SEWER FUND, WE GENERATE REVENUE REGULAT BE VERY RESTRICTED THAT THOSE DOLLARS HAVE TO BE PROFESSED RIGHT BACK TO THOSE GREEN PAPERS.
WE ALSO HAVE OTHER FUND GROUPS THAT ARE FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES LIKE GRANT FUNDS.
SO WE ADD THE HEALTH GRANT FUND ROUTE, WHICH IS SPECIFIC GRANTS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE.
TRANSPORTATION GRANTS, WHICH ARE TRANSPORTATION FUNDS THAT THE CITY GETS THAT ARE ONLY INVESTED IN STREETS AND TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.
SO UPWARD OF $3.7 BILLION BUDGET.
A MAJORITY OF IT IS VERY RESTRICTED
[00:20:01]
FOR THE PURPOSES IT'S SET FOR.THE CITY HAS A GENERAL FUND THAT IS THE, THE CITY'S DISCRETIONARY FUNDS FOR EVERYTHING WE THINK OF, OF WHAT A CITY SERVICE PROVIDES.
PARKS AND RECS, A POLICE AND SAFETY LIBRARY.
THOSE ARE THE DOLLARS THAT ARE MORE DISCRETIONARY THAT WE FIND TO, TO DEVELOP A BUDGET PROCESS OF AROUNDS.
IN FY 26, THAT BUDGET WAS ABOUT 770 3005 PEOPLE.
$773 MILLION, NOT THOUSAND DOLLARS.
THAT'S ABOUT 21% OF THE OVERALL BUDGET, WHICH IS NOT A BIG CHUNK OF THE PIE, BUT $773 MILLION.
GENERAL FUND BUDGET PER CITY IS A VERY LARGE BUDGET.
WE ARE A FULL SERVICE CITY WITH ITS UN FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
SO WE HAVE A LARGE GENERAL FUND IN THE FY 26.
AS I KIND MENTIONED WITH THE FISCAL POLICIES, IT, IT IS KIND OF GOOD TO RECOGNIZE THAT WHEN WE ADOPTED THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET, THERE WAS A $17 MILLION SHORTFALL JUST ABOUT, WHICH WAS STRUCTURALLY SOLVED WITH THE ONE TIME DOLLARS THAT WE PLAN TO USE FOR FY 26.
THESE ARE THE FEDERAL DOLLARS THAT LONG BEACH RECOVERY, THAT DOLLARS THAT OUT AND DOWN TO THAT BUDGET.
IT IS REFLECTED WHEN WE ADOPTED JET BUDGET THAT THERE ARE GONNA BE CHALLENGES.
WE SAW THAT THERE'S, UH, CLOCK ON OUR ONETIME DOLLARS.
WE'RE NOT ALWAYS GONNA HAVE THOSE.
AND WE ARE RUNNING INTO A FORECAST THAT SEAN, JEFF, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME CHALLENGES AND REALLY WORK THROUGH BALANCING THE BUDGET WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
SO THAT IS REALLY WHERE WE'RE CURRENTLY AT.
AND NOW TO JUST JUMP INTO HOW THE BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WORKS.
SO NEXT COUPLE SLIDES WILL WALK US THROUGH THE TIMELINE AND WE KIND OF GO YEAR ROUND.
THE BUNCH OF DAYS ALWAYS ACTIVE AND OUR STAFF LOVES US BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS HOPING THEM YEAR ROUND FOR UPDATES IF WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.
SO OUR FISCAL YEAR STARTS ON OCTOBER 1ST AND RUNS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH.
SO THIS FY 26 BUDGET JUST STARTED JUST ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO.
THE BUDGET STARTS, THE PROCESS STARTS FOR DEVELOPING FUNDING EARLY ON FROM THE EARLY MONTHS OF NOVEMBER, DECEMBER.
WE INTERNALLY ARE DEVELOPING THE NEW FORECAST.
'CAUSE WHEN WE LAST RELEASED THE FORECAST, THAT WAS WITH THE DATA WE HAD AT THAT TIME.
WE'RE TRYING TO UPDATE THOSE NUMBERS.
WHAT NEW INFORMATION DO WE HAVE AND SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING FORWARD.
SO AS WE PLAN THIS INTERNALLY, WE TRY TO STRATEGIZE WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK LOOKING LIKE.
WE'RE ALSO REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO, UM, I'M SURE SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD OR EVEN ATTENDED OUR COMMUNITY BUDGET MEETINGS, WHICH WE HAVE FIVE IN-PERSON MEETINGS OVER THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS AND A VIRTUAL MEETING TO JUST GATHER INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY AND REALLY SEE WHAT THE PRIORITIES ARE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
THIS IS NEW TO THE CITY WHERE WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THIS EARLY ENGAGEMENT UNTIL THE LAST FEW YEARS AGO.
SO WE STARTED TO REACH OUT TO FOUR THE BUDGETS.
ALL THIS INFORMATION WE GATHERED IS GONNA BE SUMMARIZED AND BROUGHT BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL VIA TIA PEPPER MEMORANDUM FROM STAFF.
AND ALL STAFF THAT ARE WORKING ON THE BUDGET ARE GONNA HAVE THIS AVAILABLE AS THEY WORKED ON THEIR BUDGET TO SEE WHAT THE COMMUNITY WAS SAYING.
CODE IN MARCH, THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY COUNCIL SEE THE FORECAST AND THEY WORK THROUGH THEIR PROGRAMMATIC STRATEGY TO SAY HOW DO DEPARTMENTS APPROACH THIS FISCAL YEAR? SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE CURRENTLY AT TO START OF THINKING THROUGH HOW ARE WE GONNA APPROACH THIS FISCAL YEAR AND DEVELOP GUIDANCE FOR DEPARTMENTS TO START DEVELOPING THEIR BUDGET.
THIS COULD BE ADJUSTMENTS, DEDUCTIONS, ADDITIONS, REALLOCATION EFFICIENCIES.
THEY REALLY THINK THROUGH IT THROUGH THE MARCH, APRIL MONTHS.
AND THE CITY MANAGER AND DEPARTMENTS GO THROUGH TO SEE WHAT IS THE BEST STRATEGY TO PROPOSE A NEW FISCAL YEAR BUDGET, WHICH THEN GETS RELEASED TO THE MAYOR ON, I BELIEVE IT IS JUNE 3RD, IS THE REQUIREMENT TO THE MAY JULY 3RD, SORRY, FOR CITY CHARTER.
THE CITY MANAGER NEEDS TO DELIVER THE BUDGET TO THE MAYOR BY JULY 3RD.
THE PUB, THE BUDGET IS NOT ACTUALLY PUBLIC.
IT'S TO THE MAYOR IF HE HAS IT FOR ONE MONTH TO DECIDE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS OR HOW DOES HE WANT TO, UH, APPROACH IT.
AND THEN BY AUGUST 2ND, THE BUDGET IS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC AND THE CITY COUNCIL SLIDE, WHICH THIS IS THE CITY MAYOR, UH, CITY MANAGER PROPOSING HIS PROPOSED BUDGET ALONG WITH THE MAYOR PROPOSING HIS RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE BUDGET.
WHEN THE BUDGET BECOMES PUBLIC, THAT'S WHEN A LOT OF MEETINGS COME UP AND THAT'S WHEN WE GET REALLY BUSY WITH THE COMMUNITY.
'CAUSE WE HAVE BUDGET HEARINGS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL WHERE DEPARTMENTS ARE TALKING ABOUT THEIR INDIVIDUAL BUDGETS.
WE HAVE A BUDGET OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WHERE THE BUDGET OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE PICKS SPECIAL TOPICS TO REALLY DIG INTO FOR THE CITY COUNCIL.
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
WE ALSO HAVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS, BUT AGAIN, IN AUGUST TO SAY WE HAVE THE BUDGET
[00:25:01]
NOW AND NOW WE WANT TO EDUCATE EAR FROM THE COMMUNITY WHAT THEY SEE IN THE BUDGET.ALL THIS RUNS THROUGH AUGUST THROUGH SEPTEMBER.
AND THE CITY COUNCIL ULTIMATELY APPROVES THE BUDGET AND THEY CAN MAKE CHANGES TO THE BUDGET AND NEED TO ADOPT IT BY SEPTEMBER 5TH.
THAT IS THE ADOPTION NIGHT FOR OUR CHARTER.
AND ANY CHANGES THEY MAKE WOULD TAKE EFFECT ON OCTOBER 1ST.
AND WE ENDED ON OCTOBER 1ST, WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO THE CYCLE AGAIN, STARTING OVER WHERE WE STARTED PLANNING FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
THIS WAS REALLY A HIGH LEVEL PRESENTATION, NOT GIVE YOU A OVERSIGHT ON HOW WE DEVELOP THE, THE BUDGET.
AND WE, I'LL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE PRESENTATION, BUT I DO WANT TO HAND IT OFF TO JANICE WHO WILL START GOING OVER SOME SPECIFIC PROGRAMS IN THE BUDGET DEPART JAM.
I AM, UH, WE FINANCIAL SERVICES OFFICER FOR THE DEPARTMENT, DEPARTMENT RECREATION MARINE.
SO I, UH, WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH
SO FOR THE DEPARTMENT RECREATION MARINE
SO THE
THAT'S MADE UP OF STAFF SUPPLIES, MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT, UM, FOR EVERYTHING THAT THIS BUILDING WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW, PLUS THE OTHER FIVE, UM, SENIOR CENTER SITES.
UM, SO THERE'S ALSO THAT STRUCTURAL MEETING EVERY YEAR.
UM, THOSE ARE BUDGETED BACK AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH IT.
UM, SO ONE ONETIME FUNDING IS SOMETHING THAT CAN HAPPEN AT BUDGET ADOPTION OR THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR ONLY.
WE DO LIKE QUARTER QUARTERLY ADJUSTMENTS.
AN EXAMPLE OF A ONETIME FUNDING THAT WE HAD BEFORE WAS, UM, FOR FIELD TRIPS OR SPECIAL EVENTS FOR THINGS LIKE THE OLDER AMERICANS MONTH IN MAY.
UH, SO THOSE ARE SOMETIMES ONE TIME FUNDED.
AND THEN, UM, GRANTS SPONSORSHIP IS ANOTHER THING THAT WE WOULD JUST TAKE AD HOC IF WE WERE TO GET ONE.
UM, AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST, AGAIN, GRANTS FROM BEFORE, UM, HAVE PAID FOR OTHER EVENTS I BELIEVE.
UM, SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH, UM, THE PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECT LINE ITEM.
I WILL SAY THERE IS OTHER FUNDING IN OUR DEPARTMENT THAT SUPPORTS OLDER ADULT PROGRAMMING SERVICES, LIKE MAINTENANCE, UM, THINGS THAT AREN'T DIRECTLY LINE ITEMS TO OVER ADULT PROGRAMMING, BUT THEY SUPPORT ALL THE CENTERS.
UM, AND ALSO THINGS LIKE AQUATICS, LIKE WE DON'T DIVIDE OUR BUDGET IN A PRODUCT BY A PROGRAM.
IT'S JUST THIS IS A
UM, THE THING THAT AFFECTS OUR BUDGET WOULD BE STRUCTURAL DEFICIT THAT WE HAVE.
SO BECAUSE WE ARE FULLY GENERAL FUNDED, UM, THAT'S OUR BIGGEST BURDEN.
UM, AND THEN I JUST HAVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW, RIGHT.
LOT WORDS, UM, ABOUT THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WE HAVE.
SO THE 1.2 MILLION, UM, OBVIOUSLY REPORTS, THE TWO ONE MACHINE SENIOR CENTER, UM, ALL THE PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE OTHER FIVE SITES.
SO WE HAVE THE FOUR SENIOR CENTERS, UM, AND THEN THE EXPO ARTS CENTER, WHICH IS OPEN, UM, LEAD
UM, AND THEN I ALSO ADD
SO AGAIN, THESE AREN'T IN THE LINE ITEM BUDGET FOR 1.2 MILLION, BUT THESE ARE THINGS, UM, LIKE THE PRODUCTS PROGRAMS THAT ARE AT OUR FREE POOL.
UM, BUT I WILL NOTE THERE IS FREE WATER EXERCISE PROGRAMS FOR, UH, PEOPLE 50 YEARS AND UP.
SO THAT ONE IS FREE EVEN THOUGH IT'S LISTED IN THE FEE BASED PROGRAMS. AND WE ALSO HAVE CONTRACT CLASSES, UM, WHICH ARE CLASSES REPORTS FOR FOR FEE THAT CAN PARTICIPATE IN THOSE FOR, THERE'S SOME THAT ARE DESIGNATED FOR 15 OVER AND THERE'S SOME THAT ARE JUST, AND THEN ALSO, UM, WE HAVE A SENIOR SOFTBALL TEAM ALONG WITH OUR OTHER, UM, ADULT SPORTS.
BUT THERE'S ONE SPECIFIC SOFTBALL.
SO, UM, AS I WAS SAYING THOUGH, WE, THERE ARE OTHER THINGS LIKE THE ENTIRE, YOU KNOW, MAINTENANCE OF THE FOUR SITES OR FIVE SITES THAT AREN'T IN BUILDING THAT BUDGET IS NOT ENCAPSULATED.
SO THERE IS A LOT YOU IN THE STAFF THAT SUPPORTS THAT.
SO JUST INDIRECTLY THERE IS OTHER FUNDING
[00:30:01]
SUPPORTS.UM, BUT THAT IS MY PRESENTATION FOR REGARDING THE ARTS PROGRAM.
I'M THE COMMITTEE HEALTH BUREAU MANAGER.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TODAY.
SO I AM DEFINITELY BY GREAT PARTNERS HERE AND I HAVE EXTENSIONS THAT HAVE, UM, COLLEAGUES FROM THE, UH, AS WELL.
SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COMMUNITY HEALTH I TO HELP AND
SO WE REALLY BEEN WHAT PLEASURE AND A PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO SERVE, UM, ALL ADULTS.
I HAVE, UH, TWO PARENTS THAT I HAVE INTERVENTION HOME
THEY ALSO MENTIONED STRUCTURED FUNDING.
SO I WANNA LET YOU KNOW THAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THE SOCIAL FUNDING IS VERY, VERY SMALL.
WE PREDOMINANTLY FUNDED BY NEW GRANTS AND THOSE GRANTS THAT IMPACT
WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE.
SO THAT'S A BREAKDOWN OF WHERE WE ARE NOW.
UM, CONNECT DEFINITELY SAID THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING IN THE CITY.
DEFINITELY THERE'S A LIKE SAID THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, SPECIFICALLY IN HEALTH BECAUSE OF OUR CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.
THERE IS A, A MAJOR, UH, IMPACT ON FROM, WE CALL ALL TOGETHER AND WITH IMPACTED THE MOST
SO WE ARE DEFINITELY TRYING TO NAVIGATE WITH WATERS AND WE TIME, TIME TO
WE ARE STILL OPERATING WITH A THREE F TEAM,
UM, WE DON'T DO THIS PROGRAM ALONE.
OUR PROGRAMS, UH, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON THE CASE MANAGE THE ACTUAL, UH, REFERRALS AND THE ACTUAL PROVISION OF THOSE PSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDS OUR CLIENTS.
SO WE LEVERAGE THOSE
UH, THAT LIST WE SERVE OUR MEETING.
SO, UH, ALTHOUGH OUR MEETING, OUR BUDGET IS VERY, VERY TINY, UM, BUT WHEN THERE ARE DEFICITS OF LOSS OF OUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT, OUR OTHER DEPARTMENTS AS WELL AS OUR FITTING, THEN THESE, UH, PROGRAMS GET DISMAN.
AND SO THAT'S VERY OUR DEPARTMENT MULTIPLE.
SO WE HAVE UM, WE MORE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR VERY OWN UH, UM, BUREAUS.
SO YOU CAN SEE, UM, SOME IMPACT.
SOME OF THE SERVICES THAT WE ENJOYED THE COLLECT IMPACT TEAM FIRST LINE HAVE DURING COVID THAT OUR OVERALL ADULTS WOULD BE ALL ASKED, WHICH THAT HAS BEEN LOST FUNDING.
UM, OUR FUNDING IMPACTS HAVE BEEN, UH, ROOTED IN THE FEDERAL PATHS AND OTHER PATH THAT, THAT HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE.
ANOTHER, UM, ANOTHER PROGRAM HAS ALSO BEEN, UM, A LOST, UH, IN OUR HEALTH.
AND
THAT'S THE PROGRAM THAT IS
THEY GO OUT INTO THE FIELD PARTNERSHIP WITH PARTS AND RECS OR POLICE DEPARTMENT.
UH, WE HAVE SET SAFETY, UM, CALLS AND SAFETY CHECKS, REALLY, UH, LEARNING A LOT IN THE PAST FEW YEARS.
BOTH A LOT OF ISOLATION, UM, RESPONDING TO THOSE
UH, SO THERE ARE, UM, WE HAVE
[00:35:01]
RESPONSIBILITY CHILD, UH, AND TRY TO MANAGE TO CONTINUE DESPITE, DESPITE, UH, THE RESOURCE, UH, MAYBE OUR DOLLAR STRETCH.AND I WANNA SAY A LOT OF TIMES WE HAVE TO DO THE FEED FALL CHANGE OR WE HAVE TO CHANGE
SO WE ARE NOT ALONE CUTTING PROGRAMS, UM, THAT WE ARE IMPACTED BY
SO, UH, SO SPECIFICALLY OUR STAFF, EACH TEAM WE LOST, UM, ENTIRE TEAM BECAUSE OF AND THE THOUSAND
AND THERE WERE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT NOT MENTIONED LATER OUR HIV PREVENTING PROGRAM, WE WERE TO MORE ACTIVE, UH, PARTICIPATION SCREEN TESTING,
SO, UM, WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR A FUNDING THAT IS MOSTLY
SO I THINK TIME, I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HERE
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, I JUST MISSED A COUPLE THINGS WITH BEHIND HERE.
UM, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW MANY FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE YOU HAVE.
WE HAVE, UM, REALLY FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES, UH, THAT DIRECTLY WORK WITH OLDER ADULTS.
INDIRECTLY WE'RE COLLECTING TEAM.
SO WE HAVE, ARE ADAPTING TO COMMUNICATIONS.
IT ALSO GOES ON INTO THE PEOPLE PUBLIC HEALTH TEAM.
MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR THAT REALLY THE DEDICATED TEAMS THREE
SO THEN THE OTHER TEAMS THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT ARE THAN YOU THOUGHT HAVE ARE, ARE EXTRA TEAMS SPECIFICALLY.
THEY, THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT THE TEAM PARTNER, SO THAT WE ARE NOT IN TO OFFER ALL OUR, SO, SO WE PARTNER WITH, YOU KNOW,
AND THEN WENT ON THE QUESTION OF THIS, UH, PRIVATE, UM, AND PUBLIC GRANTS.
DO YOU KNOW HOW, WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THAT IS, IS FEDERAL? UM, IS IT OVER HALF OR IS IT TWO THIRDS? THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
SO RIGHT NOW IT FEELS LIKE EVERYTHING IS BETTER.
IT'S DIFFERENT BETWEEN MY PERCEPTION AND MY FEELINGS.
SO IF WE GET THAT NUMBER SPECIFICALLY, UM, BUT WE ARE, YOU KNOW, SO FAR OVER HERE, SO JUST WANNA KNOW HOW BAD OFF WE WE'RE GOING BE
NO, THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE, UM, FRAME.
AND THEN YOU COULD GIVE IT TO ME,
AND THE COMPLEXITY IT IS BECAUSE ACROSS DEPARTMENT FUNDED WITH FEDERAL FUNDS, STATE FUNDS, PRIVATE FUNDS, RIGHT? SO THEN IT WOULD BE HAVING TO SCREEN ALL OF OUR PROGRAM PROCESS DEPARTMENT TO ABOUT THAT PERCENTAGE, BUT THAT POTENTIALLY IMPACT, RIGHT? SO THAT'S WHY VERY, AND I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE
IS THERE ANY IDEA OF HOW OUR CALIFORNIA SWITCHING MORE HEALTH THROUGH WHAT WAS DONE AT CDC, HOW THAT WILL IMPACT, UH, WHAT'S COMING DOWN TO THE, THE CITIES AND
UH, WE ARE DEFINITELY, UM, WE HAVEN'T
[00:40:01]
TALKED ABOUT OR HAVE BEEN SOUGHT TO AGREE ON MORE CC STAFF, GO STAFF AND CC WE HAVE GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH CC, UH, ESPECIALLY IN OUR TVWE HAVE BROUGHT IN OUR CC
SO JUST TO, UM, HAVE A MODEL FOR, UH, PARTNERING WITH, UH, CBC STAFF.
AND SO IT IS, UH, HAS NOT BEEN MY EXPERIENCE AND
SO UNFORTUNATELY THE IMPACTS OF, UH, FROM THE FUNDING
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, I HAVE A QUESTION.
IF THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE ADDITIONAL FUNDS COME INTO THE CITY THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, SUCH AS LIKE GRANT FUNDING, FEDERAL OR STATE FUNDING, UM, THAT CAN BE ALLOCATED TO OLDER ADULT PROGRAMS, IS THERE A WAY THAT OUR COMMISSION BE MADE AWARE OF, OF THOSE, UH, AMOUNTS IF THEY'RE RECEIVED THE, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AFTER THE BUDGETS? YEAH, SURE.
WE, UH, WE DEFINITELY INFORMED, UH, OF WHAT'S IN THE HORIZON FOR THE FUNDING THAT MEDIA ACTUALLY, IF THERE
UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ASK THIS QUESTION, BUT I'M WONDERING, YOU KNOW, SOME CITIES HAVE ONE UNIT THAT THERE'S OLDER ADULTS AND WE HAVE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AGENCIES OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
UH, WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF THAT FROM BEING ON THE GROUND AND TRYING TO WORK ON THESE PROGRAMS? DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE, UH, THERE MIGHT BE, I MEAN, I KNOW I'M SURE YOU COLLABORATE, BUT THE THING IS THERE'S A VERY DIFFERENT MISSION FOR PARKS AND BRAIN OLDER SERVICES THAN YOURS.
YEAH, I THINK THAT THE, WE REMEMBER IT.
I THINK THE MISSION IS THE SAME, BUT OVERALL, UH, WE ALL WORK WITH CITY.
I THINK WHERE IT MIGHT DIFFER OUR PROGRAMMATIC OBJECTIVES, AND THIS IS WHERE THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO, YOU KNOW, COMMUNICATE MORE ACROSS, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE ALWAYS, UM, REACHING FOR THAT SPARROW, WHICH WE, WE LOOK, I THINK PROBABLY GOOD JOB WITH THAT.
WHERE I FEEL LIKE IT DOES, UH, WORK WITH US IS THAT IT, IT, UM, SINCE WE ARE COLLECTIVELY PARTNERING ACROSS, NOT JUST WITH PARKS AND RECS, BUT ACROSS THAT, UH, PROGRAMS CAN CONTINUE, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, TEAMS ARE CENTRALLY EFFECTIVE BY ONE SOURCE.
SO THAT'S WHERE I THINK THAT BEING, UH, HAVING A DECENTRALIZED, UH, UH, FORMAT IS, IS HELPFUL.
UM, THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES, BUT IT'S HELPFUL RIGHT NOW.
BUT WE ALL DO HAVE THE SAME MISSION PROGRAM.
I THINK WE MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENTLY, BUT WE ARE HERE TO, TO SERVE
PUBLIC, DOES ANYBODY HAVE A QUESTION OF THE COMMENT?
COMMISSIONER CIA, APPROVE THE REPORT.
COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT, APPROVE.
COMMISSIONER SUTHERLAND, VICE CHAIR SALCITO.

UM, I DID NOT ONLY GET THE NEWSLETTER FROM OUR CURRENT LONG BEACH SENIOR CENTER, BUT I ALSO HAVE, UM, CALENDARS FROM THE OTHER CENTERS AS WELL FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY.
UM, THEY ALL LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY, OF COURSE, HERE AT THE LONG BEACH SENIOR CENTER.
UM, WE HAVE A LOT MORE PROGRAMS. SO IT'S A NEWSLETTER STYLE FORMAT WITH A LOT OF STUFF IN THEM.
SOME OF THE OTHER CALENDARS MIGHT JUST BE A SINGLE SIDED OR DOUBLE-SIDED DEPENDING ON WHAT ACTIVITIES THEY HAVE GOING ON THERE.
BUT I BROUGHT THEM TODAY BECAUSE AT THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING, UM, YOU, UM, RECOMMENDED TO HAVE YOUR COMMISSION, UM, INFORMATION, UM, THE MEETING TIMES AND STUFF PUT ON THE CALENDAR.
SO I, YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH THEM.
UM, SOME OF THE WORDING, BECAUSE DEPENDING ON SPACE MIGHT JUST BE THE MEETING DATES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
BUT IN OUR, UM, IN THE NEWSLETTER FOR THE SENIOR CENTER HERE, NOT ONLY HAS THE MEETING DATES, BUT IT ACTUALLY HAS LIKE, HEY, IF YOU WANT TO BE A COMMISSIONER, HERE'S SOME ELIGIBILITY AND LIKE, IF YOU WANNA SIGN UP.
SO WE'RE, WE ARE TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT, UM, YOUR COMMISSION AND GET THE WORD OUT THERE BECAUSE WE ARE POSTING AT ALL THE SITES, WHICH THAT WAS A RECOMMENDATION BACK, I DUNNO, SOME MONTHS BACK.
UM, BUT NOW YOU GUYS HAVE ASKED TO BE IN ALL OF OUR, UM, INFORMATION, UM, TO THE PUBLIC.
SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT.
UM, SOME EVENTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON, UM, FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH HERE AT THE, UM, CENTER, WE DO HAVE OUR SECOND YEAR BLACK MOSAIC, WHICH IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ARTS COLLECTIVE.
UM, AND THEY BRING IN PROFESSIONAL PAID ACTORS, UH, TO COME OUT.
AND LAST YEAR WE DID IT HERE AND IT WAS, IT WAS GREAT.
SO IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 23RD, UM, HERE AT THE CENTER.
UM, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE, JUST TO HIGHLIGHT ITS TAX SEASON.
SO, UM, WE HAVE A A RP HERE THAT COMES HERE, UM, UM, THURSDAYS AND FRIDAYS, UM, PRETTY MUCH UNTIL APRIL 10TH.
SO IF YOU'RE IN, THIS IS A FREE SERVICE.
UM, SO WE TRY TO GET ALL OF OUR, UM, UM, PARTICIPANTS IN TO GET THEIR TAXES DONE.
SO IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE OR, OR ANYONE NEEDS THEIR TAXES, PLEASE UM, CONNECT THEM WITH US SO WE CAN GET THEM APPOINTMENT.
UM, NOW AS FAR AS THE MEETING BUSINESS, I DID WANNA BRING UP, I KNOW WE TRADITIONALLY HAVE OUR MEETINGS HERE AT THE LONG BEACH SENIOR CENTER.
THERE WAS A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE WE DID A TOUR OF OUR DIFFERENT CENTERS IN THE CITY.
AND I KNOW I HAVE ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE NEW MEMBERS OF THIS COMMISSION.
SO, UM, I WANT TO SEE, AND THAT WAS KIND OF ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS I HAD WITH ONE OF YOU, THAT, UM, MAYBE THAT'S WHAT WE WANNA DO IN THIS YEAR.
SO I HAVE ASKED OUR OTHER CENTERS TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT MONTHS THEY ARE ABLE TO HOST US, AND I HAVE ALREADY HAVE IT OUTLINED.
I DIDN'T WANNA GIVE IT TO YOU GUYS YET UNTIL YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS FEEL LIKE THAT IS SOMETHING GOOD THAT WE WANNA DO BECAUSE I WANNA LEAVE IT UP TO YOU.
SO, UM, SO IF THAT'S GOOD, I I WILL, WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH GOING TO DIFFERENT PLACES.
UM, THE PLAN IS HOPEFULLY APRIL 8TH, WHICH IS OUR NEXT MEETING TO BE AT HOUGHTON PARK.
UM, SO JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT IN THE AIR, IF THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
SO I'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU GUYS AT THE END OF THE MEETING SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY'RE AT.
IF THEY HAVE A PARK NAME LIST LISTED NEXT TO IT, I ACTUALLY PROBABLY EMAIL THIS OUT 'CAUSE I'M GONNA PUT THEIR ADDRESS ON HERE TOO.
UM, SO, UM, IF THERE'S A PARK NAME NEXT TO IT, THAT'S WHERE THE LOCATION IS AT.
IF THERE'S NO PARK NAME, THEN IT'S HERE AT OUR LOCATION.
BUT USUALLY AT THE END OF EACH MEETING, WE WILL KIND OF REMIND YOU GUYS, AND THEN WHEN WE SEND OUT THE EMAILS, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHERE IT'S AT IF WE CHANGE LOCATIONS.
BEFORE WE HAVE THAT QUESTION, I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE HAVE OUR EVENTS APRIL 8TH MEETING AND HOW TO DEPART A SECOND.
SECOND, PLEASE CALL THAT, UH, WE ALREADY DO HAVE THE MOTION, UH, INITIALLY, SO DO WE NEED TO VOTE ON HAVING THE, THE APRIL 8TH MEETING AND HOW PARK NO.
WE CAN DECIDE WHERE WE WANT THEM.
UH, THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS THE ISSUE OF PARKING AND ACCESSIBILITY, BECAUSE I FOUND IT DIFFICULT A COUPLE OF TIMES TO FIGURE OUT WHERE
[00:50:01]
WE WERE MEETING IN RELATIONSHIP TO PARKING, AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO WALK A LONG WAYS TO GET TO THE MEETING, THE NEW, THE DIFFERENT SPOTS.SO I'LL MAKE SURE, UM, THEN I'LL, UM, SEND LIKE SOME TYPE OF MAP TO YOU GUYS SO WE CAN TELL YOU WHERE TO PARK AND WHERE TO INTERACT.
UM, SO IF IT, IF THERE ARE ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER YOUR, I MEAN, JUST NOT AUTOMATICALLY.
UM, I'M, I'M FINE AS LONG AS WE CAN.
I ENJOY SEEING THE OTHER PROGRAMS, BUT, UM, YEAH, IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO GET HERE AND, AND HAVE A PARKING PLACE IF YOU CAN'T WALK VERY FAR.
UM, SO WHAT IS THE ACCESSIBILITY FOR HOWTON PARK? OH, THEY HAVE A PARKING LOT BIGGER THAN OURS.
SO THAT SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM WITH HOUGHTON.
UM, EXPO HAS A PARKING LOT, BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PARK IN THE BACK, UM, PARKING LOT, SO, OR ON THE STREET.
SO THAT COULD BE SOME, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY DO HAVE A PARKING LOT.
I THINK THE ONLY ONE THAT, UM, HAS NO ACTUAL PARKING LOT IS THIS SILVERADO, UM, COMMUNITY CENTER BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY PARK ON THE STREETS NEARBY AND YOU'D HAVE TO WALK IN THERE, SO THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PARKING LOT.
UM, MCBRIDE HAS A PARKING LOT, UM, BY THE BUILDING.
AND EL DORA PARK, UM, HAS ONE TOO.
SILVERADO WOULD BE, MIGHT BE THE ONE THAT, WHERE THERE IS NO PARKING WORK.
YEAH, WE'LL GIVE THAT POSSIBLE.
AND JUST, JUST ALSO ON THAT LITTLE MAP, MARK WHERE WE'RE MEETING, BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE PARKS ARE HUGE, RIGHT? YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH BUILDING TO GO IN.
YEAH, I WILL DEFINITELY PUT THAT ON THERE.
THAT WAS JUST, I LIKE TO TALK.
UM, SO, UM, I DO WANNA, UM, BRING UP PRESENTATIONS.
I KNOW WE HAD TWO GREAT ONES TODAY AND I KNOW WE LOOKED FORWARD TO HAVING DIFFERENT PRESENTERS COMING THROUGH.
SO I ALREADY HAVE TWO LINED UP FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.
SO I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, METRO IS COMING BACK OUT IN THE MONTH OF MARCH.
AND THEN APRIL, UM, OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS PLANNING ON COMING OUT TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE NEW SENIOR CENTER.
UM, AND WE'RE, IT'S AT WITH THAT, SO THAT WILL BE IN APRIL, UM, AFTER APRIL.
UM, I'LL BE SENDING YOU GUYS AN EMAIL BECAUSE I KNOW IN THE PAST YOU GUYS HAVE SIGNED UP AND ACTUALLY GOTTEN PRESENTERS.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE IN YEARS PAST, SOMETIMES YOU HAD TO DO TWO MONTHS.
THIS YEAR YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO ONE.
UM, SO I'LL BE SENDING THAT OUT.
SO THERE'S A CERTAIN MONTH YOU WANT FROM PRETTY MUCH DO JUNE THROUGH DECEMBER.
UM, YOU WOULD JUST LET ME KNOW.
AND, UM, THEN YOU'LL PLAN ON GETTING THE PRESENTER AND IF THERE'S ANOTHER PRESENTER THAT YOU FEEL THAT, UM, WE AS THE CITY CAN FACILITATE TO GET, LIKE WE GOT THE TWO, UM, TODAY, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, WE CAN FACILITATE THAT AS WELL.
SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE PRESENTERS TOO.
SO WE HAVE THE NEXT TWO MONTHS WITH, UM, THE TWO.
AND THEN WE WILL BE SENDING TO YOU GUYS FOR SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS.
OKAY? AND THAT'S ALL MY REPORT TODAY.
AND, UH, JUST FOR THE RECORD, IF THERE ARE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE STAND UP.
COMMISSIONER SUTHERLAND, IF, IF YOU'D LIKE, WE, WE CAN ABSTAIN YOU IF THAT'S WHAT YOU CHOOSE.
ITEM FIVE, RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE A REPORT FROM CURRENT AD HOC COMMITTEES.
DISCUSS ANTICIPATED AD HOC COMMITTEES FOR UPCOMING PROJECTS, AND IF APPROPRIATE, TAKE ACTION TO DISSOLVE OR CREATE AD HOC COMMITTEES LIKE WE ACCEPT THIS.
OKAY, SO AD HOC WE TURN TO DOES ANYBODY, IS ANYBODY ON ONE OF THE AD HOCS? WE HAVE REPORT? YES.
THE VISIBILITY AD HOC MISSION VISIBILITY GROUP HAS DISCUSSED, UM, SOME CHANGES,
[00:55:01]
BUT WE WILL HAVE A UPDATED PROPOSAL FOR NEXT MEETING.ANYONE ELSE? I'D LIKE, UH, OUR CLERK TO READ THE AD HOC COMMITTEE.
SO, UH, THE FIRST AD HOC COMMITTEE WE HAVE IS SAFE HOUSE AD HOC COMMITTEE MEMBERS, COMMISSIONER HINES, VICE CHAIR, SALCITO, AND COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT.
THE NEXT ONE IS 2026 VISI, EXCUSE ME, VISIBILITY PLAN AD HOC COMMITTEE, UH, MEMBERS, COMMISSIONER, CIA, VICE CHAIR, SALCITO, AND COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT.
NEXT FAIRS FOR SENIORS ON LONG BEACH TRANSIT AD HOC COMMITTEE, CHAIR CLARK, COMMISSIONER HINES AND COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT.
AND THE LAST ONE IS COMMISSION COLLABORATION AD COMMITTEE.
WE HAVE COMMISSIONER T, VICE CHAIR, SALCITO, AND COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT TO TURN TO THE SEEING NONE.
COMMISSIONER SUTHERLAND, VICE CHAIR.
ITEM FIVE, RECOMMENDATION TO DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF ON THE SCOPE OF INVOLVEMENT, TABLING, LOGISTICS, STAFFING, ESTIMATED COSTS, AND ANY BUDGET OR RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE ADULT RESOURCE FAIR.
UM, CHAIR CLARK, MAY WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND? YES, I MOVED A SECOND.
SO, UH, THIS, I AM INTERESTED IN, UM, TABLE AT DIFFERENT RESOURCE, UM, FAIRS THAT SERVE THE OLDER ADULT COMMUNITY, UM, TO BRING MORE AWARENESS ABOUT THIS COMMISSION.
AND I WANTED TO SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN OCCASIONALLY
OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD HAVE TO, AS THERE BEEN, UM, COME UP, I THINK, I'M NOT SURE HOW IT WORKS.
WE'D HAVE TO BRING THOSE TO THE COMMISSION TO SEE IF EVERYBODY AGREES, UM, THAT WE CAN TABLE IT AT A, A SPECIFIC EVENT AND WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO ATTEND.
UM, AND THEN WHO I WOULD SPEAK TO ABOUT GETTING A TABLE AND BE A TABLE RUNNER AND SOME INFORMATION TO GIVE OUT TO THE PUBLIC.
SO WHO WOULD, WHO WOULD I SPEAK TO? WELL, AND I THINK, SO I THINK THAT THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS THERE.
UM, SO LIKE WE, I THINK WE'LL HAVE TO DEVELOP, I KNOW WE HAVE A, WE HAD A BROCHURE A WHILE AGO WITH THE COMMISSION, SO I DUNNO IF WE WANNA UPDATE THAT OR DEVELOP SOME TYPE OF LIKE FLYER OR MARKETING RIGHT.
UM, AND SO I THINK WE CAN DEVELOP THAT AND THERE COULD BE A COUPLE DIFFERENT THINGS, KINDA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, COMMISSIONER SALCEDO, I'M JUST ADDING IN SOME THOUGHTS MM-HMM
UM, BUT, UM, WE HAVE DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT LIKE WE AS PRM GO TO, AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WHERE WE COULD ADD LIKE SOME OF THE FLYERING AT THOSE EVENTS TO JUST LET THE PUBLIC KNOW.
I'LL CHECK TO SEE IF THAT'S POSSIBLE, YOU KNOW, SO THEN IT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARILY THE COMMISSIONERS HAVING TO GO OUT THERE, BUT THEN I THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT MORE LIKE, UM, SPECIAL EVENTS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE MAYBE LIKE HEARD OF OR FOUND OUT.
UM, AND SO I THINK, UH, YEAH, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT BACK AND CHECK TO SEE IF THE COMMISSION WANTS TO GO AND WHOEVER IS GOING WOULD REPRESENT THE COMMISSION, HAVE THE PERMISSION TO GO ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION.
UM, I THINK THE QUESTION IS LIKE IF SOMETIMES EVENTS COST MONEY, UM, SO THERE'S NOT NECESSARILY A BUDGET, UM, FOR ANY A TABLING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO I, I'M NOT, UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD, UM, YOU KNOW, PAY FOR IT.
SO I'D HAVE TO CHECK ON IN REGARDS TO IF THERE IS A, UM, LIKE A COST TO BE A VENDOR AT THAT EVENT.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD LOOK INTO BEFOREHAND.
OBVIOUSLY WE SEE SOMETHING WE MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN, UM, TABLING
[01:00:01]
AT TO SEE IF IT'S COST.YEAH, SO LIKE THE CITY OF LONG BEACH, WHEN THEY HAVE DIFFERENT PLAYERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE CAN PROBABLY SET UP A TABLE OR SOMETHING.
WELL, YEAH, SO A LOT OF TIMES THEY ASK LIKE DEPARTMENTS TOO.
SO LIKE A LOT OF TIMES IT MIGHT BE, OR LIKE PROGRAMS, SO IT COULD BE LIKE FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, IT MIGHT BE ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT EVELYN TALKED ABOUT THAT WHERE THEY GO AND REPRESENT THAT PROGRAM.
UM, AND SO SOMETIMES THEY ASK LIKE OUR PM LIKE THE DEPARTMENT AND WE'LL GO OUT WITH A LOT OF OUR LIKE FLYERS OR NEWSLETTERS, DEPENDING ON WHAT PROGRAM IT'S FOR.
IF IT'S FOR LIKE OLDER ADULTS, WE'D PROBABLY BRING A LOT OF THE CALENDARS AND LIKE FLYERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO THAT WOULD BE ONE WHERE WE COULD ADD WHATEVER MARKETING THAT WE HAVE FOR THE COMMISSION THERE.
SO JUST THE PUBLIC IS AWARE THAT WE HAVE A COMMISSION, RIGHT? AND KIND OF THE SAME THING THAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR CALENDARS, OUR NEWSLETTERS TO KIND OF GET, UM, THE MARKETING OUT THERE.
SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING SUPER SIMPLE FOR US TO CREATE SOMETHING, UM, TOGETHER TO MARKET YOU GUYS, UM, YOU KNOW, OUT THERE AND WE CAN REVISIT THE BROCHURE.
MAYBE WE, YOU KNOW, ADD THAT TO THE AGENDA NEXT MONTH TO LIKE LOOK AT IT AND IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANNA UPDATE OR IF WE WANNA GO WITH SOMETHING, UM, DIFFERENT.
AND THEN, UM, AS WE GO TO DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT WE TABLE, WE'LL JUST PLAN ON BRINGING THAT WITH US.
AND THEN, UM, IF THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT YOU GUYS FIND OUT ABOUT THAT'S MAYBE NOT CITY RELATED.
AND, AND AGAIN, CRM DOESN'T GO TO EVERYTHING, SO I'M, I'M JUST PRACTICING THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CITY EVENTS AND DIFFERENT, UM, OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE MIGHT NOT, UM, GO TO EVERYTHING.
BUT IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE OUT THERE THAT IS CITY RELATED, THEN YOU WOULD JUST LET ME KNOW AND THEN WE CAN ASK TO SEE IF WE CAN, UM, GET INVOLVED IN A SENSE.
OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC OF ECONOMIC, IF THERE ARE ANY MEMBERS FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO PL SPEAK, PLEASE STAND UP.
COMMISSIONER KAVANAUGH, COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT, COMMISSIONER SUTHERLAND COMMISSIONER, CORRECTION, VICE CHAIR, SALCITO AND CHAIR CLARK.
UH, CHAIR NOW WE ARE AT PUBLIC COMMENT.
UH, AT THIS TIME WE WILL TAKE NON AGENDA, PUBLIC COMMENT, ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON NON-AG AGENDA ITEMS, PLEASE STAND NONE.
CHAIR, WE ARE NOW, UH, AT ANNOUNCEMENTS AND IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE COMMISSION, I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT I HAVE TAKEN ON.
UM, I HAVE CHILD MYSELF TO TAKE PEOPLE TO MY LOCAL SENIOR CENTER, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE ALVAR ROBINSON SECTOR, WHICH IS HUGE AND FASCINATING, UM, OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS.
SO I, I, AND I'M CHALLENGING MYSELF TO, UM, PUBLICIZE THE COMMISSION AND NEWSLETTERS, BUT PROOF THAT I'M CONNECTED TO INCLUDING MY CHURCH TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, I WAS SURPRISED, DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE, UH, THAT THERE WAS, UH, SUCH AN ACTIVE SENIOR CENTER, SO CLOSE AND, UH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THEM ARE, ARE, ARE EITHER OLDER OR CARING FOR PEOPLE, OLDER, OLDER PEOPLE.
UM, AND I WAS THRILLED TO SEE THE ANNOUNCEMENT I WAS SO PROUD OF, OF YOU GUYS.
UM, I, WHEN I WENT TO THE SENIOR CENTER IN EL DORADO, THE FIRST THING I SAW IN THE NEWSLETTER WAS THE ITEM ABOUT OUR COMMISSION.
SO, YOU KNOW, HOPE BY LITTLE GETTING THERE AND, UH, I JUST WANTED TO THANK PEOPLE FOR ALL THE, UH, THANKS SYLVIA FOR TAKING INITIATIVE WITHOUT THE EPR AND THANK YOU.
UM, IT'S A FEW OR IT'S AMONG THE WAY.
UM, WE'RE FOCUSING, WE'RE HAVING A BENEFIT CONCERT IN DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH AT FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH FOR THE DROP-IN CENTER, WHICH IS A FEEDING PROGRAM FOR IN HOUSE AND, UM, PEOPLE WHO NEED SOME FOOD, HELP WITH FOOD PRIMARILY.

THE CONCERT WILL BE MARCH 14TH AT 7:00 PM UM, RECORDING
[01:05:01]
ARTIST COMPOSER KENTHE DROP-IN CENTER HAS LOST SOME FUNDING AND, UM, IT'S CRUCIAL TIME FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE.
THEY FEED, UM, 150 TO 250 PEOPLE A SUNDAY.
SO IT'S, IT'S, UM, THEY GET A LOT OF DONATIONS FROM FOOD FINDERS.
UM, FOOD COMES IN FROM TRADER JOE'S AND OTHER SOURCES, UM, BUT THEY ALSO PREPARE A HOT MEAL AND, UM, IT'S, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE DOWNTOWN, UM, ONE OF THE RESOURCES FOR MORE AND MORE SENIORS.
ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS? I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE SENIOR SAFE HOUSE AND I'VE BEEN CHECKING WITH THE COUNTY AND THEY'RE STILL IN, UM, DOCS TO FIND THE LOCATION AND THE FUNDS, BUT IT'S STILL ALIVE AND WELL.
SO MY ANSWER TO YOU IS YOU HAVE TO LIVE TO BE ABOUT 107 UNTIL
ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS, THERE'S SOME REFRESHMENTS OVER THERE.
AND, UH, IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION, I DECLARE THIS YOU THE RETURN 1108 IT LOOKS LIKE.
