Item 23 report from Parks, Recreation and Marine. Item 22 recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code related to the dog exercise area on the beach. Read the first time and lead over to the next regular meeting of the City Council for Final Reading District three. There's. Let me. Let me. Let's go off the motion real quick. Hold on a second. Okay. Okay. As a catch one price. You want to make the motion? Okay. I'm gonna turn this over to staff just for a brief report. George Chapman. Thank you, mayor council members. This is an area of the dog beach that was expanded recently from 2.9 acres to 4.1 acres. We did have a permit before from the Coastal Commission for this area. This would just update that permit to include the entire area of the 4.9 acres. So it was a recent increase. In the size of the dog area. And so we'll also be putting some delineate in that dog area that some art pieces that we should be installing fairly soon in the dog beach area. Thank you. Councilman Pryce. Q I want to thank the staff. This is a very exciting project for us. We love having a dog beach. Our residents really enjoy having the opportunity to be able to have a space that they can take their dogs to because otherwise they would not be able to have their dogs on the beach. So the fact that we are putting some resource and thought into this particular service for the residents of the city of Long Beach and also visitors is very exciting. I want to thank the Parks Rec and Marine staff for working on this project. I know this is an item that we talk about at our monthly meetings and I'm glad to see that it's moving forward. So thank you. Thank you. And this is also my my dog's favorite place probably in the city is the dog beach. So love it. Any public comment? Please come forward. Very good. You click as it has two items on first of all. I'm dead set. I think it makes absolutely no sense to spend money on art. Work down in an area like that would simply get graffitied over in trash, period. There's no. Oh. What has to do is look at the look at the underside or look at any building along the along the bike path or the underside of the Belmont Pier. And you'll see how destructive it is of graffiti lady. A leading it is on the demarcations, I suppose I suggested to the county meeting. I think that best it. Would not cost that much money to mark it off. But just simply put tube made maybe out of styrofoam and a rubber large fire hydrants. What better for and for marking a dog park period clearly recognizable by the dogs. Thank you. Okay, thank you. And the other public comment saying none. Please cast your vote. Motion carries eight zero 23.
