If You Want Waves On
Our Beaches...
YOU MUST READ THIS!
As you know, we are strong
supporters of cleaning our water and bringing waves
back to Long Beach by reconfiguring the Breakwater.
Wave activity will improve our water quality,
stimulate tourism, and boost our local economy by
making our beaches a new and exciting destination.
We can do all this while protecting our coastal
homes and the Port of Long Beach.
We expect that this Friday, June 18, 2010 the
Army Corps of Engineers will release their decision
on moving forward with a federal feasibility study
on the breakwater's reconfiguration.
If the decision is released
as expected, then on Tuesday, June 22, 2010 the City
Council will vote on whether to move forward and
partner with the Army Corps on an extensive
feasibility study. This will be a historic vote, and
decide the future of our local beaches.
We encourage you to attend the June 22nd City
Council meeting and voice your support for a federal
feasibility study. The meeting starts at 5:00pm.
Feel free to call our offices (562) 570-6919
(Councilmember Robert Garcia) or (562) 570-6918
(Councilmember Patrick O'Donnell) if you have any
questions.
Also, please help spread the word - feel free to
forward this email, Tweet it, or post it on your
Facebook wall.
Thank you!
Councilmember Robert Garcia
