Top issues during term (20)(General)
Consolidating public comment periods
Staff cited roughly $150,000 in potential overtime savings, though opponents called that pretextual.
SB 1279 — speed safety cameras on Pacific Coast Highway
About $5 million a year in expected speed camera revenue, with $2.5 million going to traffic calming after admin costs.
Peninsula beach erosion response
Rebidding aims to bring the project cost down to an affordable level.
$50 million revolving credit facility for city capital projects
Bond proceeds fund major capital projects; the refunding of older bonds is intended to manage the city's debt service costs.
Small Business Support Programs 2026 Review
Hundreds of thousands in grant dollars already out the door, plus a new $750,000 federal grant for small business loans.
Strengthening the Long Beach Values Act
A private right of action could increase the city's legal liability, while a surveillance ban could affect existing technology spending.
2026 Point-in-Time Homeless Count results
Renter aid demand is huge — 4,600 applications in three months — signaling deep affordability strain.
severe weather preparedness
Marine Bureau staff are fortifying seawalls and building berms ahead of high tides expected through December, using a 1.5-foot conservative tide deviation.
coastal defense
Expect higher spending on emergency preparedness and coastal infrastructure projects as the city fights off stronger storms.
personnel departure
If the rollout gets delayed or fumbled, it could waste taxpayer money and cost the city valuable grant or fine revenue.
Marine debris cleanup at Mother's Beach
The work is volunteer-run with no city funding; recycling refunds cover some costs.
Mobile food facility regulation overhaul
$272,234 in structural General Fund funding.
FAIR Act ethics reform legislation
It won't cost you a dime, but it might save taxpayer money by cutting down on backroom deals.
natural disaster response
Homeowners in the flood zones are facing major property damage bills and potential emergency relocation costs.
Indigenous engagement and representation
This shouldn't cost much beyond updating some internal calendars and signs.
sewage spill beach closure
Beach closures can hit local businesses—think parking, restaurants, rentals—right when they count on summer crowds.
Extreme heat and air quality under the Climate Action Plan
Expect local businesses and the city to shell out more cash as stricter environmental regulations and compliance costs roll in.
sanctuary city policy
While no direct price tag is attached yet, big policy fights like this often cost taxpayers legal fees and could risk state funding depending on how the rules shake out.
severe weather preparation
Emergency response and coastal mitigation efforts could put a temporary dent in the city's seasonal maintenance budget.
immigration policy
It might cost the city more money to retrain staff and adjust how local law enforcement operates under the tighter rules.
