4 issues in public safety with high priority
Service club storage evictions from city buildings
The Lemoore and Kings Lions Clubs received a 30-day notice to clear their long-standing storage spaces at the Vets Hall and Civic Auditorium. They're asking for a rental agreement or another solution and note other tenants weren't affected.
Code enforcement staffing and tenant habitability complaints
Tenants say they can't get code complaints filed, and a housing advocate claims the city is out of compliance with AB 838/AB 584. Staff plans to bring a dedicated code enforcement officer position to council early next year.
Cat licensing ordinance rejected
The city's animal ordinance exempts cats from at-large rules, and residents are frustrated with feral cat populations — enough that the city is apparently 'TikTok famous' over it. Council wants staff to look at Long Beach's cat ordinance and consider microchip requirements instead of license fees.
$1 Million Grant for Park Surveillance Cameras
The city won a $1 million BSCC grant to install cameras in seven parks, all feeding live to police dispatch. Councilmember Brewster said they'd already generate investigative leads on three shootings. Completion window is five years.
