Coastal Comm'n staff announces POSTPONEMENT of Dec. 10 hearing on proposed Belmont Beach Aquatics Center.
We'll update you when new hearing is scheduled. We’re a group of residents opposed to City Hall building the project just north of beach sand in SE LB because of future sea-level rise (the beach site is expected to flood in 30-50 years), the cost ($82 million, from Tidelands Funds) and the fact that there’s already an existing outdoor pool at this site installed 5 years ago when the old Belmont Pool was demolished in 2015. There are places in Long Beach with a greater need for recreation and sports facilities
The entire City of Long Beach has only 3 public pools. Long Beach needs more community pools, but not on the beach. This pool should be built in a neighborhood where more Long Beach residents can easily reach it to enjoy the benefits of swimming and recreation.
Paid for by Long Beach residents who think there’s a better place in Long Beach for a public pool. Contact us: ABetterPlaceForAPool@gmail.com

(December 11, 2020, 5:40 p.m.) -- In response to a November 24 Public Records Act request by LBREPORT.com seeking the text message Supervisor Hilda Solis stated publicly she received from Mayor Robert Garcia (urging her to "do the right thing" re restaurant closures before she voted to defeat a motion to allow in-restaurant dining), the Los Angeles Counry Executive Office says that "in response to one part of your PRA...[a]fter conducting an extensive search, we have found no responsive records." (LBREPORT.com's PRA contained only two parts.)

On Dec. 10, LBREPORT.com emailed the County Executive Office inquiring which part of our PRA had produced no responsive records. We noted that the County's non-responsive response is contadicted by Supervisor Solis' public words referencing the record we requested.
