Recommendation to request City Manager to conduct an inventory of beach and park space signage to determine if we have sufficient signage, and consider changes to sign locations and messages to make them more effective.
Okay. Okay, now we can move to number 15. Item 15 is communication from councilwoman praised Councilmember Peers case of membership in our and Councilmember Oranga recommendation to require city manager to conduct an inventory of beach and park space signage to determine if we have sufficient signage and consider changes to sign locations and messages to make them more effective. Councilwoman Price. Thank you. The basis for this item really has to do with a lot of the efforts of city staff to maintain and upkeep some of our public spaces, our beaches and our parks. As many know, we have found items on the beach and I'm sure in the parks as well that present some public safety hazards. And a lot of that comes with occupancy of the parks and beaches at a time when they are not supposed to be inhabited and they're not patrolled. And so there's not a lot of attention given to cleaning up the trash and debris that's left behind. So we're finding things like hypodermic needles in these public spaces that are posing a public safety hazard for people that are using the beach space. So in recent discussions with city staff that have been out there for some of these cleanup efforts, it was brought to our attention that perhaps the some of the signage out there is old. There could be better opportunities for signage. And also the wording on the signage could be a little bit better clarified in terms of appropriate time and usage of those public spaces at a time when our police and other resources are able to patrol and monitor the area for municipal code violations and of course, littering and other such conduct. So thank you very much. I ask my colleagues to support this item. Thank you, Councilman Ringo. Thank you, Mary. And I want to thank Councilmember Price for allowing me to sign into the settlement. I always say, as a member of the Coastal Commission, very much concerned about not only what goes on in our beaches in terms of debris and unsafe items that are left there, but also the fact that we want to make sure that people continue to have access to the beach. So my concern would be that one step is looking at this item, that they ensure that we don't negatively affect the public's ability to access the beach as well. Thank you. Thank you, Councilmember Pearce. Yeah, I just want to say I support this item. I think making sure we're streamlining all of our signage, that we're getting rid of some of the old signage that has faded that you can't read is really helpful. And then anything I know that we're struggling with our trash on the beach right now, and I know that we've invested a significant amount of tidelands funds for some of the fancy trash cans, or we still have some that need some work. So any signage around littering or something like that, if we can explore those options as well as we're trying to finish funding the the trash challenge that we have down there. Thank you. Thank you very much. As a public comment on this item seen on members of Castro's. Councilmember Austin. Thank you. Bush case. Great. Thank you. Okay. We're moving on to item 616, which is the L.A. County Stormwater Measure presentation that I know our staff is going to make. And so I'm going to have the clerk read the item, please.
