Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by amending Chapter 2.24 relating to the Board of Health and Human Services, read and adopted as read.
Thank you, Madam Clerk. Item. 3131. Communication from City Attorney Recommendation to Declare Ordinance Amending the Long Beach Municipal Code relating to the Board of Health and Human Services. Read the first time and lead over to the next regular meeting of the City Council for Final Reading. This motion by Councilman Andrews and seconded by Councilmember Urunga is their staff report. I'm sorry. So any member of the public that wishes to address the council, please come forward. Good evening, city council members. My name is Christine Pettit. I live in the sixth district and I'm here tonight serving in my capacity as the newly elected chair of the Board of Health and Human Services. The board reviewed the proposed changes to this ordinance at our June meeting and we are supportive of them with regard to board composition. Although your voting to add these categories into the ordinance, we do currently have a mental health professional and an environmental health professional that are serving on the. Board. And we think that the youth perspectives are valuable and want them to continue moving forward. The board has the diverse membership and we take up a breadth of issues from the more traditional disease and prevention to broader public health issues like affordable housing, or actually the safety and health of our housing, as well as violence prevention. And the board really wants to be seen as a resource to you all. So I was also going to invite members of the public. I'm sure some are still watching. Right. But the board meets on the second Fridays of each month at 745 in the morning. Lucky us. At the Miller Family Health Education Center, 3820 Cherry Avenue. Our next meeting is on August 14th, and we're so passionate about our service that we actually voted to not have our hey this summer. So thank you all. Thank you. Councilman Andrews? Yes. I'd just like to say congratulations. And you wouldn't realize how many people are still watching this. There's the motion in a second. Members, cast your vote. Our family doesn't count. I was speaking of my wife. That's how. I feeling. Motion carries nine zero. Item 32.
