Recommendation to refer to the Parks and Recreation Commission to revoke the new senior water exercise fee at Martin Luther King, Jr. Pool and Silverado Pool, as well as, all City Pools and report back to City Council.
Okay. Now we're going to move on to new business. We have one item, which is item 24. Communication from Councilman Andrews, Councilman Price, Councilmember Wodonga recommendation to refer to the Parks and Recreation Commission to revoke the new senior water exercise fee at Martin Luther King Jr. Pool and Silverado Pool as well as all city pools and report back to city council. Okay. There is, you know, can we back up the. Yeah. Councilman Andrews, I think it's your right. Yes. Yes. Thank you, Mayor. You know, on September the 17th, the Parks and Recreation Commission voted to increase the fees of the senior water aerobics classes at King and Silverado. A new fee was established at $2 a class or 4 to $450 a year per year individual. The average income in the city of Long Beach is $26,000 annually, which is below the national poverty level. Creating this new fee places an unnecessary burden on our aging population, as well as creating a burden to the physical activities to our older adults. I am simply asking our Parks and Recreation Commission to revoke the fee for seniors and look into taking other steps to increase their mainstream attendance to offset the pool cars by promoting pool use with families or additional programs to increase the revenue. Okay. Thank you. There's been a motion and a second. Any public comment on the item? CNN. Please cast your vote, please. Oh, I'm sorry about that. Councilman Price. Thank you. I just want to make sure that this would be to all polls citywide, correct? Yes. So that seniors would have the same. All the seniors. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Members, please cast your votes. Yeah. Yeah. Councilwoman Mongo. Motion carries. Thank you. With that, we have any final public comment. Anyone is in the audience seeing none and any new business that counts. I'm going to share with Councilman Andrews. Okay. He has nothing. That's a first councilman. Your anger.
