Chittick Field electrical switchgear vandalism and repair
Long Beach
Summary
Someone wrecked the electrical cabinet that powers field lights, bathrooms, and the county's pump station at Chittick Field — about a $200,000 fix. The county initially said it wasn't their problem but will now cover half. Repairs need to finish before November when field lighting becomes essential.
