Recommendation to request City Attorney to draft an ordinance to amend Long Beach Municipal Code Chapter 2.24 governing the Board of Health and Human Services.  The amendments will simplify the membership requirements and update the role of the commission to match the current responsibilities of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Item number 12. Communication from Mayor Garcia. Recommendation to request the city attorney to draft an ordinance to amend the Long Beach Municipal Code governing the Board of Health and Human Services. Thank you. This is another kind of cleanup item. This is a recommendation by Health Department staff to make it easier to facilitate and increase membership. And so I want to thank Kelly Colby for making these suggestions. And they make sense. And with that, there's a motion by Councilman Mongo and Councilmember Andrews. Is there any public comment on the item? Seen Councilman Mongo DiGiovanni comments come from our industry. Any comments? OC Commissioner Richardson, do you have a comment? Sure. Just a quick question. How many, how many, how many people sit on this health commission? How many members of the commission have? Waiting for a copy here. No, she's not. Okay. Well, these are these are demonstrators. Question This would be a question for Ms.. Collopy. How much is it? 19. 19. Seems like a big commission. And. And also is a lot of. Like in recent years. Since it's. Since it's begun began. Health has gotten more localized and place based. And I would I would encourage like if we're going to make some changes, we look at like grabbing folks or doing some on the ground work and some of the local communities, the Coalition for Healthy North, Plan B, so on and so forth, that can make sure that the city's strategy around health is complementary to the on the ground strategy. So just some comments. Great. Thank you. Any public comment on the item? CNN. Please cast your votes. Motion carries nine zero.
