Long Beach
Summary
Councilmembers Thrash-Ntuk, Saro, and Ricks-Oddie moved to turn the Black Community Health Assessment into action: sharing it with schools, transit, the port, and the airport, and studying whether the city's own hiring excludes certain neighborhoods ('employment deserts'). A report with policy recommendations is due in 120 days.
