Recommendation to request City Manager to work with the City Attorney to prepare and present to the City Council an Ordinance amending Section 10.30.080 of the Long Beach Municipal Code to permit the closing of the Boathouse Lane parking lot from one hour after sunset until 8:00 A.M. daily, instead of the current hours of closing from 10:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M. daily.
Item 62, please. Communication from Councilwoman Prices and House Pierce and Vice Mayor Andrew's recommendation to request an ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code to write the closing of the boathouse lane parking lot from one hour after sunset until 8 a.m. daily. Councilman Price. Mayor. So I want to make a few modifications to this ordinance before we open it up for public comment. The first is I'd like the modification to be that access to the lots is limited between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. because we do have a rowing facility located right there and we want to make sure that we accommodate the hours and the programing that takes place by the tenants that occupy that facility in terms of access to the water and access to recreation. So I'd like to direct that. And then I also want to point out that earlier today, this afternoon, we received a letter from the Coastal Commission with some recommendations in terms of things for us to keep in mind as we're drafting the ordinance. So I would like to make sure that the city attorney through this motion drafts an ordinance that's consistent with the timelines indicated in my motion and is consistent with the Coastal Commission recommendations, and that they have the conversations with Coastal Commission staff to ensure that access to this area is not restricted and that the ordinance come back to council so that we can start the process. I do want to highlight for my council colleagues where this request is coming from, as some of my colleagues may or may not be aware. We do have different operating hours in various coastal areas in the city of Long Beach and we want to make sure that we modify the hours of operations for the parking lots adjacent to Boathouse Lane to be consistent with some of the others along Marine Stadium. Boathouse Lane is located immediately adjacent to a residential community called Spinnaker Bay. And based on the calls for service that we've seen with the police department and the increase in the calls for service that we have seen there, the nuisance activity and the instances of criminal activity have really seen an increase in recent times. And that has a lot to do with people congregating late night in those parking lots. And so we want to make sure that people continue to have both bike and pedestrian access 24 hours a day to that coastal area. But that just like we do in many of our other beach lots, that the hours of operation for the parking lots are limited to reflect what we have available now at Marine Stadium and similar areas. So that's the background. I know there's a number of residents who want to residents and and members of the community who use the recreational facility who want to speak. And I just I want to make sure that the residents and the members of the rowing community understand that we're trying to balance the concerns regarding recent uptick in criminal activity, but also understand the importance of allowing access to the recreational facilities and to the water, as that's a very, very important function and part of our city. And we want to make sure that we don't restrict access and we'll do everything we can to allow our tenants to continue to have access at that location. So with that, Mr. Mayor, I think if it's okay with you, I'd like to comment unless the city attorney needs any clarification from me. This is Mike Mays from the city attorney's office. That's perfectly clear. Thank you. Councilman Price. Thank you. We're going to go ahead and go to public comment, please. Our first speaker is Bill Beder. Mr. Mayor and council members. My name is Bill Boner and I'm a current member of the Board of Directors as well as an active member of the club since 1980. Marine Stadium in the following areas and ride facility are landmarks not only to the city of Long Beach, but worldwide. The facilities used by juniors, collegians, Olympic hopeful master rowers, recreational rowers and people with different abilities, including veterans from Long Beach Bay. Why the watering is not new to this area. I think that the current environmental conditions with COVID has exasperated the issue, and I'm not so sure that the proposed ordinances will stop these actions. In fact, I'm a little concerned because I think the only people who would be impacted by this the most are the actual members of the club. I'm also kind of disappointed that Albury board was not included in the discussions regarding this ordinance and therefore I would propose that the ordinance be tabled until all parties can discuss the resolution and present and revise equitable remedy to City Council. Thank you for your consideration. Thank you. Our next speaker is Brian McGuinness. Ryan McGuinness. Our next speaker is Charles Griffin. Oh. City Council. Mayor, my name is Charles Griffin. I'm also a member of the Board of Trade Association. And I just wanted to echo most of what Mr. Boehner said, that we really appreciate the wonderful facility that we have at the Archer Rowing Center, and that the recent change in or the recent nuisance that has developed along Boathouse Lane seems to have developed because of COVID 19 restrictions and people deciding to loiter there. And we wish that we had been more included in discussion. But certainly Councilman Price's trying to accommodate all elements as she and trying certainly as she changes. Was trying to ensure that everyone has appropriate access to all the facilities. And we want to applaud those motions and hope that she continues to make certain that everyone has appropriate access to the facilities and that the facilities don't come under excessive restrictions. Thank you. Thank you. Our next speaker is Ellen Kirk. Hi. Thank you, everyone, for allowing. Us this evening. Bill Baiter and our. Club president, Mr. Griffin spoke. On the issue. It's important to. Emphasize that during. The war. We bring honor and. Respect to this city for homeowners and business owners in the city. And that is. To say, it is important that our concerns. Be considered, although we're not doing the complaining quite often. We've had issues. With the Santa Fe population, with the homeowners there. But I've. Been there long before homes were going. To do. It again. We've had spikes in the road. Those things have all gone. Away over time because they haven't been deemed necessary. So now, in addition to reconsidering this, I think it's very important to think about. How why this. Money is being asked to be spent. Right now, the city budgets are tight and it's kind of hard to. Justify spending money on something that was. There was taken down. So in addition to expanding the hours to include when I was actually show up when it's not likely to be evangelistic. Opportunity to the home. I just feel really emotional about this because we weren't asked to be involved. The solutions being proposed are expensive. At a time when expenses are really questionable and they've been done before and they were taken away because they weren't deemed necessary. Maybe there's a less expensive, temporary way we can get. Through this problem. Thank you. Your next speaker is Henny Kubik. Hi. My name is Hannah. Terrific. I'm on the Long Beach Rowing Association board and a long time member. It it's been brought to our attention. There has been some loitering in the parking lots on both land, possibly related to public gathering limitations brought on by COVID 19 restrictions. Part of the immediate response has been to expand the number of webcams covering all of the area around the boathouse, including the parking lot. The proposal to lock a gate at the boat base of about half an hour after dusk was made without notifying or consulting the community in any formal way. Currently, this gate is locked at 10 p.m. and open at 5 a.m. We really have to avoid the gate, but if that is not negotiable, it is imperative that we are given a written agreement for what has been confirmed to us in the last couple of days that the gate will be open at 5 a.m. and our preference is to remain open until our classes are completed or an hour after sunset, whichever is later. All LBO remember tenants will get access at all times. The city is offering to pay for this and to find a city that works for all parties. Thank you. Thank you. Our next speaker is Jack Nunn. Uh. Hello. Uh, Honorable Mayor Garcia and City Councilman. Um, yeah, my name is Jack, and I'm currently run the Rail Works Facility, the Rail Works Program. We are indoor now outdoor fitness program where we do group rowing classes. I'm a former junior rower as well, a high school rower that went on to row at Berkeley a scholarship, three national titles, and then went on to the U.S. national team and then came around and coached for the Long Beach Juniors and also coached for Loyola marymount. Um, kind of full circle. This really this audience that just is kind of brought up on a strike so quickly, um, really affect not only the junior program but also rowers and in a really negative way. And I just ask that you guys think about the full spectrum of what you're asking the juniors right now. The kids need time for the parents to pick them up after practice. Uber parents, you know, all these negotiations that are taking place to get them picked up and to have them take care of them is really important. And also for my classes, Long Beach at night, they end at 730. And so that would impact my business as well, which we're already really suffering because of COVID. Thank you. Our next speaker is John Nunn. Hi. My name's John. And, uh, I'm a long time rower at Long Beach. I started, uh, in 1966, and I've been rowing there ever since. So I'm Olympic medal winner, Olympic coach, and I've been closely involved with the Long, Long Beach. Actually, I was I was the expansion director for expanding the boathouse back and we finished that in the eighties and excuse me in the nineties. But anyway, what's really critical is that we, uh, we have some kind of a ability to access the water because early in the morning, because we have people on the coast, Long Beach , people have to get the 8:00 classes, people at work have to get to work. And then on the other end, the juniors have to be able to get to get to practice after school and then be able to have parents pick them up in, you know, whatever, whatever degree of darkness it is because the school day doesn't change, because the the sun sets earlier and when the time changes, it's a real problem. So I think it would be better. Most of these problems have been happening are COVID related because there's people that don't don't having to do so. This is sort of a place they can go and they don't you know, they don't have to they they can get there without being hassled. So it's just, uh. Thank you. Your next speaker is John Van Blom. Hello. My name is John Van Blom. I'm a four time Olympic rower. I started I learned a role in Long Beach and have been running here for almost six years. I can appreciate the concerns of the neighbors at Spinnaker Bay. However, I want to express my concerns over the school closing time. That is closing one hour after dusk and not opening until 8 a.m.. Early morning is the best time for rowing due to the calm water and less traffic from other boaters. The Bay and at the time when people can row before work. Also we can run the Marine Stadium early in the morning, but we have to be out of the stadium by 8 a.m. to accommodate water skiers. And in the winter, one hour after dusk is about 6:00 when people coming to row after work are just arriving and young rumors of the junior program haven't yet left. I'm asking to maintain the current hours of access to the boathouse while addressing the needs of residents. I know Councilwoman Price is looking out for our interests at the Rowing Center and has said you work to get access. We need and I trust you will do that. I just want to emphasize to the council how important that continuing access is to the rowing community. Thank you very much. Thank you. The next speaker is Christina Dugan. Mr. Mayor and council members. Hello, my name is Christina Dugan. I'm a third district homeowner and business owner and have lived in Long Beach since 1999. I'm so thankful for the Peter Archer Rowing Center because 13 years ago I attended a learn to roll class offered annually by the Rowing Center and fell in love with rowing both on and off the water. I'm a 13 year member and the club's regatta director and we welcome rowing clubs from all over the U.S. to participate in regattas and hopefully we will welcome rowers in the 2020 Olympics. I'm speaking this evening to convey my desire for the city to continue to accommodate the tenants of the Peter O'Toole Rowing Center at the hours we have previously had, which has been discussed and it sounds like 5 p.m. is going to be the time the Rowing Center and Spinnaker Bay residents are neighbors. I can appreciate the balance the councilwoman is working on to find a solution to mitigate nuisances experienced by residents, as well as accommodate rowers access to the water. Attleboro there don't master's program does a majority of the rowing from 5 to 8 a.m. for work. Long Beach Junior Crew. The high school program uses the water before seven on the weekends. See all being beach crew is on the water at five m to finish before classes. Each of the tenants uses the boat house early on a regular basis and all of us wish to continue our access as well as work with a solution with the city because they know nefarious activity on boathouse lane has made it a problem for the residents. We're grateful for the most beautiful. Thank you. Our next speaker is Laura Payson. Hi. This is Laura Barzan. I'm a deputy district attorney and a resident of Spinnaker Bay. My backyard sits adjacent to Boathouse Lane. So my family and I are privy to what is quickly becoming a hotbed of illicit activity after dark. Every day, for the last several months around, sunset cards of young adults arrive to what they apparently see as a haven for their bad behavior. This behavior includes underage drinking, public use of marijuana and other narcotic sexual activity incredibly fast, loud and dangerous street racing and illegal fireworks. These individuals seem to know that it is virtually impossible for them to get caught as they have quickly, as they have a quick and easy escape route. And nuisance calls to this area are an extremely low priority. Accordingly, there simply are no repercussions for their criminal behavior. And they know this. Despite that, in an effort to fight the deterioration of this area of Long Beach, I personally have called the police several times when I've witnessed any semblance of illicit activity, whether that be racing trucks, nearly mowing down children and killing them, or marijuana wafting into the backyard when my kids are playing. That these people on whom we call the police may somehow try to retaliate is another fear shared by many neighbors, and it presents yet another problem with their presence. After dark, it's come to our attention that there is a concern by some that the new hours for gate closure would deprive growers of access to growing activities. We are not in any way trying to limit access to the growing community and we believe their concerns can be addressed simply by allowing specific access to Rolling Thunder representatives at all times. Marine Stadium is a beautiful place for all to enjoy. The community of Spinnaker Bay is asking only for a simple measure to help keep it that way. This measure will without a doubt send a clear message to those looking for a safe place to break the law. That is, your criminal activity will not be tolerated. And you. Thank you. Our next speaker is Mary Perot. Good evening. I'm Mary Perot. My husband and I have been Long Beach Rowing Association members since 1984. In the past 36 years, I've actively participated in our efforts to keep boathouse lane area. Free of disruptive behavior, drugs and solicitation, largely through the observation and reporting. By elbow members in early morning hours and post 6 p.m.. The presence of LV remembers entering and leaving Boathouse Lane has acted as a deterrent in these hours. I urge you to reject the proposed ordinance to restrict ours. You would have many other. An unintended consequences, such as increased parking and traffic congestion. In the Spinnaker Bay development. As a long time Albury member. I also know that verbal promises are not worth much. Therefore, I urge you, do not change access hours as it is the letter of the law that will govern govern future access. Thank you. Thank you. Your next speaker is Michelle Mallory. Good evening. I've lived here in the third and seventh Council District for 40 years. I began rowing in 1979 as a member of the Cal State Long Beach crew in the late 1970s. We met at 5:30 a.m. for our morning workouts, and each day the lifeguards reported for duty at 8 a.m.. For the last 25 years as a transportation professional, I rode most mornings at 5 a.m. before riding my bike to work or catching transit to my workplace. Naples Island, the Marine Stable Stadium, were initially developed by rowers in order to create a rowing venue. And indeed, the Marine Stadium has been host to the 1932 Olympics, as well as the 1968 Olympic trials. Long Beach Rowing Association, Beach Crew and the junior crew of all produce a number of Olympic national team and multiple university men and women throughout the nation. While I understand there is an ongoing problem in the parking lots associated with the Marine Stadium, and I support the city's efforts to rectify these problems. I want to be sure all the council members understand the need for the Long Beach Rowing Association, Beach crew and the junior crew members to have ongoing access to the boathouse at the end of Boathouse Lane. This access is needed every day at 5 p.m. and in the early evening, no matter when the sun sets, as has been the case for well over 40 years, the need to continue to allow this access for the foreseeable future is critical for the health and survival, the current programs and the future of the production of West Coast Rowing Champions, as well as for the fitness and pleasure of everyday rowers such as myself. Thank you for your consideration. Thank you. Our next speaker is Rob Glidden. Good evening. I'm Rob. Good. I'm the past president of Libera, and I am troubled by two aspects of the proposed action to restrict hours of access. The first is the potentially devastating effect this proposal can have on each of the five separate growing programs that operate out of the PDX Rowing Center. These programs comprise hundreds of athletes that range in age from 14 to 86. We come from every corner of the city, making this a matter not limited to District three. Throughout the 88 years that rowing has been a part of the fabric of Long Beach, we have depended on early morning and after work afterschool access to the waterways and our athletic facilities. Given the marginal effectiveness of existing enforcement measures, the sacrifices being asked of us are likely to be in vain. Plus, I have reason to believe that the recent miscreant activity is a combination of factors that have made 2020 special, namely organized political disobedience and restlessness from COVID induced boredom. These will in time pass, but our activities may be collateral damage in the process. A good faith effort is being made to mitigate these consequences, such as by issuing gate keys to users of the boathouse. This is my second concern at the devil is in the details. Many of us have put our heads to the problem, and we continue to identify shortcomings in terms of cost, complexity, security and effectiveness. If a special accommodation for the boat. Thank you. Our next speaker is Ron Harvey. Hi. My name is Ron Harvey. I started working at the Long Beach Rowing Association in 1996, and the boat club was the reason I moved to and bought a home in Long Beach in 2001 after a sustained spinal cord injury and became a paraplegic and thankful that they were continuing with the California Adaptive Drilling Program, or Carbon , which is based in Gary Hope, is open to people with any type ability and we welcome anyone who shows up at one of our parks is a positive and supportive environment for people with disabilities to come together and encourage one another to work to the best of our individual ability sport that we enjoy. We take pride in basically getting everyone who wants to go out on the water. We hold several regular practice sessions on weekday evenings from 630 to about 830 or 9:00. The reason for this time slot is that both our members and volunteers add their jobs during the day and then afterwards we can meet in the evening to get some exercise. It also allows us to have the protected water, the Marine Stadium after sunset out of the ground. The traffic. Please consider keeping the access to health clean from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.. We can continue to take advantage of the. Wonderful water and weather that allows us to be around the town beach. Thank you. Thank you. Our next speaker is Terry Glidden. Hello. My name is Terry Glidden. I'm the secretary of the Long Beach Rowing Association. In her email announcement, Councilmember Price has described Boathouse Lane as an access road to a parking lot that leads to a dead end. In contrast, the city's Parks and Recreation Web page proudly shows the same boathouse lane as a named road running parallel to the historic 1932 Olympic Marine Stadium venue ending at the Pete Archer Rowing Center, which Parks and Rec describes as a city asset home of national champions and one of the most competitive junior rowing teams in the country. Council members from other districts should know that the Rowing Center at the end of Boathouse Lane serves hundreds of athletes of all ages from all over Long Beach and beyond. This is not merely a District three concern. The Boathouse community has been excluded from providing formal input on the matter of new restrictions on hours of access to the Rowing Center that we leased from the city. I ask that the council delay or table action on this item because boathouse lane has been mischaracterized and there has been no opportunity for fair, coordinated input from constituents who comprise the rowing community directly affected by the proposed ordinance. Thank you. Thank. Think your next speaker is Ron Harvey. I. I've already spoken. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Our next speaker is Veronica Wagner. Good evening. I'm Veronica waggoner. At this time. The city council should move to table item number 62 until council more than Price's office in the Marine bureau. Contact and receive input from all the concerned party. The Marine Bureau and Councilwoman Price's office, who initiated this ordinance change, are well aware of our operations at the end of Boathouse Lane. They failed to inform Bilbray. They were putting forth an ordinance that would change and impact our operation. I do sympathize that there is a criminal element that is creating problems for the homeowners of Spinnaker Bay. But the solution is supporting and funding our police, not catering to a small group of homeowners. That. Want the coastal access near their property restricted. There are five organizations, four of them nonprofit at the Boathouse Lane. With hundreds of. Members that will be affected by this change. The IOC has sent people down to El Rey to look at Marine Stadium venue as a potential rowing site for the 2028 Olympics. To my knowledge, we are still a contender for that possibility. But how do we stay a viable consideration when our boathouse access to the best water time is now under threat? This ordinance change has been pushed forward without proper notification to all concerned parties and without any interest in gathering all of the data necessary to make an informed decision. I ask that you table this item until due diligence has been done. Thank you. Thank you. Our next speaker is William Eldon. Thank you, Mayor Garcia, and members of the council. I would just like to echo what my compatriots at the Romney Center has said previously. I've been involved with various rowing programs at the boathouse since about 2001, and I'm also a US rowing referee and I've been chief referee for a number of the regattas that we've held here . We've already been told about how affecting the opening hours of Boathouse Lane will basically put the rowing operation out of business. I welcome council members price change to the opening hours of boathouse lane to 8 a.m. But as my compatriots have stated, I'm concerned about the evening closing hours. We do have things that operate until late in the evening and there has to be a different solution. I hope that this resolution or this recommendation can be tabled until all stakeholders have a chance to get together and figure out what is the best solution for what is admittedly a difficult situation with the recent uptick in criminal activity. Thank you. Thank you. Your next speaker is Stephen Hui. Stephen Hawking. Yeah. My apologies there. Thank you to Councilwoman Price for listening to us and taking our concerns seriously as the residents of the Bay were located immediately adjacent to the ruins that are parking lots. Our location gives us a prime seat to witness what's become at times nearly a nightly display of pot smoking, drinking, reckless driving and other nuisance type behaviors that are well documented on the police logs and include a horrific personal assault of one of our residents. Contrary to the concerns and sentiments being expressed tonight, the residents nor the ordinance are looking to impair front and center operations. There simply will not be a lost tidal stroke or any loss to exercise programs. As I sit here tonight, the lot was completely vacated at 730, as it is most every night, and the proposed change would simply not impact that timing. My biggest concern is the limit is not limited to the parking lot. The reckless driving down boathouse lane pass speed constantly after smoking, pot drinking and are going to kill somebody coming out of our two access points that have significant blind slot entering onto boathouse lane. This tragic result can easily be remedied by cutting off access in the late evening hours that are unaffected by the boathouse. The reality is we're losing more officers with budget cuts without limiting access as problems are only going to get worse, not better. And we need to act before it's too late. Thank you. Thank you. That concludes public comment for this item. Thank you. Kotsenburg Ringa. Thank you, Mary. I just want to say that the other speakers who came on and me about this item, I initially had some concerns about the coastal access portion of IT city on the Coastal Commission. I know that I'll probably be reviewing this again as part of their. So I'm glad to hear that the Councilwoman Price has made it a point to ensure that staff does contact the Coastal Commission and works with them in terms of creating something that's going to be workable for not only in Long Beach, but to ensure that coastal access remains intact for city residents. So I will be reserving all my comments from here on out until it goes back to conservation. But I do have one question in regards to process. Does the Council, this ordinance that we're requesting the city attorney to put together will come to the city council and then, of course, the commission, or is a proposal coast to coast commission first before that city council decides to make it on its side. I just want some clarification on that. Councilman, your anger. This is Mike Mays. In a situation. Like this. Typically council. Would we have an. Existing. Ordinance. That governs the current hours of operations. There? And typically we. Would amend that ordinance adopted by council and then. We would send it. To the Coastal. Commission for its. Review and approval. Okay. So basically it's we send it over the lesson and then we get. But that's the normal route. Yes. Okay. All right. Well, like I say, I hope that we are able to work something out with the course committed to ensure, again, that access to the beach is maintained. Thank you. Councilman's and day house, please. Thank you, Mayor, and thank you, Councilmember Price, for this item. One of the things that I was concerned about is definitely the access. I know that I have one of my very good friends now who has been rowing for almost as long as I've known him over almost ten years. And he's been part of the adaptive rowing, a group that uses this facility on a, you know, on a regular basis, especially after sunset, when everybody, all the volunteers come out to help and they they help prepare, you know, everything for the night's activities. And they help everyone out of their wheelchairs and into the boats. And so, you know, that's very important to me. And, you know, that's something that you know, it's a program that I'm very proud that we have here in Long Beach to have an actual really good establish adaptive rowing program. So I really hope that we can look at giving access and continuing giving access to the ones that are doing these kind of activities. And just for clarification. Councilmember Price, you were right now, the the recommendations that you added right now is to allow more access. Yes. So just so my recommendation and I think a lot of the speakers maybe in anxiety or anticipation of speaking, didn't hear my comments. The proposal is that the audience would access would be from 5 a.m. until 8 p.m. that's what the ordinance would read. But of course, we would work with the tenants of the building to make sure that they have access to the additional times, which I'll I'll talk about a little bit further when you're done with your comments. Council members in the House. Okay. Because I think that that's very important that that they know that we're trying to kind of extend and be able to provide access. So I thank you for that, Councilwoman. Thank you. Thank you. Gentlemen. Mongo. And then we're going to go back to Councilman Price for a close up. Thank you. How do we currently restrict the access? Is there a fence or a gate. That I. Guess some of the comments confuse me a. Bit because I was just down there last weekend and it seems as though maybe Councilmember Price could provide some clarity. In her comments on it sounds like it's going to be 8 p.m.. It cut out again. Right. So. So, just by way of background, in 1993, the city entered into an agreement with Coastal Commission. That boathouse lane would close at the same time as Marine Stadium, which is an hour after dusk. For whatever reason, the ordinance that was passed by the City Council in 1994 excluded boathouse lane. And so even though Boathouse Lane was contemplated to be included and treated the same as Marine Stadium, it was not. We try to identify why that change was made at council, whether it was inadvertent or for some other reason, and we just couldn't find the backup material to support that. So it's been closed at 10 p.m. for a number of years, and so since 1994 and actually before then, according to Alveda Hallinan, who manages our our Marine operations. And so the requests from the residents and this is a really a resident initiated request was that we consider closing it. They definitely didn't want to interfere with rowing operations, but around 8 p.m. and so the city staff actually reached out to Eldora and I personally talked with BJC and it looks like Sarah McKenzie, the facility manager at Eldora, provided the list of activities at the center and identified the times that would be appropriate to accommodate all the members. And that's where the recommendation that I made tonight at the start of my comments came from in terms of the hours of operation. But we've made it very, very clear to all Eldora and all BJC members, I've been dealing with this now for three full days of contact with members that we will do everything we can to accommodate our tenants in that facility. Now, I did hear from some folks this evening that are saying they're there operating some sort of classes out of the facility. I'm not sure that they're legally or officially a tenant in our lease, so we'll have to look into that. But in terms of the tenants with whom we have an official legal relationship at that city asset, we will accommodate the hours to make sure that they have access to the recreational facilities. Wonderful, as long as everyone's been considered and consulted. I know that there's always work that can still be done after. And I know that you'll work towards. Making sure that happens. Thank you, Councilman Price. And then, Councilman Price, did you want to add anything else before we go to a vote? Yes. Yes, Mr. Mayor, I do. I want to thank everybody who called. Then again, I started off my comments by saying that we're going to maintain that. They point. Out hours. The evening hours. We're asking for a reduction until 8 p.m. not at us to accommodate the ten operational facilities. And so we have the tenants that we have and subleases, we'll do every canned fixture we'll have in regards to the activities that the residents are concerned about. First of all, the residents, it was very, very important for them because this is going to be about a six month long process before it goes to Coastal. So the residents wanted us to get the process started before we got the process started, before we filed our item. Parks Rec and Marine reached out to the facility manager, informed them that we were looking at changes and got a list of programing. I also specifically spoke with one of the up lessees, LBJ D and made sure that they knew we would accommodate the programs the residents have called the police on on numerous occasions. And so I know we have Long Beach PD on the call. I'm not sure if they can weigh in to share with us what some of the calls for service data looks like in this area. Good evening, Mayor and city council. This is Commander McGuire and the council tonight. With respect to calls for service on the boathouse lane in 2018, we have a total of 13, 2019, we had 23. And so far this year we've had 34. So we definitely are seeing an increase. Most of the calls reckless driving, loud noises, groups, parties, illegal drug use, that type of thing. In addition to that, this year we've had over 800 what we would consider officer initiated calls where the officers were just out there trying to be visible. It is a very remote area, relatively speaking, but they're trying to be visible. They're trying to be out in the area to kind of mitigate some of the things that we have been seeing and hearing about. But for our perspective, we have there definitely has been an uptick in the calls for service and the amount of activity that the officers are engaging in in that area. I hope that helps. Very much. I really appreciate that report. With that, I would ask my colleagues to support this item again. It's going to be a six month long process about hopefully sooner than that. We're going to ask the city attorneys to work with coastal staff to do a little bit more research. We did receive a letter from Coastal this afternoon. Staff is going to have to follow up on that and make sure that we are aligned in terms of the issues of access, which as everyone heard tonight, are very, very important. And I just want to thank everyone for calling in and to the rowing community. My boys row for LBJ. See, I'm on your team. We will provide access. We will accommodate. We want the adaptive rowing programs and diverse programs that bring the region and residents from all over the city and introduce them to the water. We want those programs to continue. We appreciate having that partnership with all of you. Thank you. Thank you. Roll call vote, please. District one. District two. District three. District three. I district for my district five.
