Recommendation to request City Manager to report on the City of Long Beach's efforts around civic engagement through volunteerism including the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance inspiring a month of community and neighborhood service projects culminating on Saturday, October 22nd Make a Difference Day.
Councilman Austin. Item 17 motion. Carries. Communication from Councilwoman Mongeau, Mayor Garcia, Councilwoman Gonzalez, Councilwoman Price and Councilmember Suranga recommendation to request the city manager to report on the city of Long Beach is efforts around civic engagement through volunteerism. Councilman Go. Thank you. I think that this is an important effort. As we know, our budget dollars are stretched further than they've ever been because there are so many priorities of so many groups that when neighbors can come together and roll up their sleeves and make a big impact on our city, I think it's a time that we embrace that. So I appreciate the mayor in taking what was a fifth District, Long Beach volunteer day and elevating it citywide. I think Councilman Price for having done her own service day in the third district so that we have infrastructure at least across the city, to start and grow this into something that could really become a Long Beach tradition of everyone rolling up their sleeves and ensuring that our community is the best it can be. I see that one of our partners for this project is here and I also want to thank them for their efforts. Thank you. Thank you. There's a motion and a second. Is there any public comment? Seeing none. Please cast your votes.
