Happy holidays to all of you. I hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving with friends and family. The month of December is always very busy for the City Council and our District 3 staff. You will read about many of the activities and developments in this newsletter.
One of the major projects that is underway at the moment is Phase II of the NaplesSeawall project. My staff and I have already been out there to walk the construction area on multiple occasions. The project is really interesting given the construction site and the challenges associated with building IN water. If you have a chance to get out there to check it out, please do. They are currently in the process of hammering in the piling, which is a very cool process to watch.
 Our Council team started the month with our 2nd annual poinsettia planting in the Vista and 6th Street roundabouts. We love this annual tradition that brings community members out to share coffee and hot cocoa while they add a pop of color to our streets. This is also the month of two parades in the 3rd district. The Belmont Shore Christmas Parade is on 12/7 and the Naples Boat Parade is on 12/14. In addition to these two district traditions, I know there will be many opportunities to gather together as a community to celebrate our local non-profit groups and neighborhood associations. Although there are countless meetings and events this month, I always look forward to connecting with our community partners at this time of year. Everyone has a spirit of gratitude and partnership, which really helps me and my amazing council team continue our collaborative efforts to improve our community.
Happy holidays everyone! Wishing you a wonderful season and a great start to 2020!

Suzie Price:
A Year in Review
2019 was again a busy year for Councilwoman Price as she worked to bring a number of important topics to the forefront with agenda items at the City Council Meetings. Big priorities included public health and safety, homelessness, business, and parking.
The City Council unanimously supported the Councilwoman's proposal to protect our youth and confront a public health emergency by placing a temporary ban on all flavored vaping products. In light of the Center for Disease Control reporting 47 deaths and 2,051 pulmonary injuries directly related to vaping it is important that the City Council take decisive action to ensure Long Beach residents are protected.
 Additionally, this emergency is especially concerning because of the steady increases in high school students using vaping products. As we have seen decades of declining nicotine addiction in youth, there has been a spike in recent years as vaping has become more popular leading to growing numbers of teens that are heavily addicted. Click
here for the link to the item.
Councilwoman Price has also led the way on using technology to better address homelessness.
She has proposed a real-time app to help get homeless people connected with services. Bringing an app-based program to Long Beach that gives our homeless outreach teams, and first responders in police and fire, real-time data on bed availabilities in public, private, and nonprofit shelters, rehabs, detox facilities, mental health centers, and other services focused on helping the homeless  within the region would be an amazing new tool. By putting real-time information on bed availabilities in the hands of our homeless outreach teams, police officers, and fire fighters, we are cutting down on delays and giving ourselves a better chance for those in need to accept the services that will help them get back on the right track. This app-based technological approach to connect individuals in need with services is a huge opportunity to get more people the help they need. Making more efficient use of resources through the use of technology can be an important way to make a significant difference in homelessness. This is a game changer! Click here for more info.
The Councilwoman has also brought a request for report to the City Council on issues related to mental health and public safety related to (Laura's Law-include link to item attached
here)
and a request for a comprehensive report on addiction and opioid/heroin use in Long Beach-link attached
here.
Not to mention leading the City to support the Supreme Court hearing an important case related to homelessness and all City's ability to enforce camping laws called Martin v. Boise - click here for link.
Further, as we continue to focus on homelessness and quality of life issues, the Councilwoman also led a partnership with CSULB to study homelessness and how to improve our outreach strategies to get more people in need to accept services. More information attached here.
Recently she has also proposed a dedicated team to assist our Police, Public Works, Parks, and Homeless Outreach teams by assisting to collect, inventory, and store belongings of homeless individuals. Link to item
here.
As more effort, time, and focus has been placed on making sure Long Beach is clean and well maintained there are additional opportunities that would assist with maintaining the cleanliness of our public spaces. The development of an inventory team that assists with the collection and documentation of personal items left in public not only improves the City's ability to maintain our public spaces but would also reduce barriers to individuals experiencing homelessness accepting services that would get them the help they need.
Improving our City's local businesses has also been a focus for Councilwoman Price as we work to ensure that our small businesses are strong and able to compete with online retail and the changing nature of commerce. Link to item
here
.
Parking
has also been a big issue as the Councilwoman works to address the chronic problem that frustrates residents in every neighborhood of the City. She is working on this with several new efforts including a red curb audit to see if we can SAFELY reduce red curbs in parking impacted neighborhoods and create additional parking, (link to
item
)
expanding the  permitting to allow residents to park on the street in front of their own driveway. This was done in an effort to relieve parking pressures in neighborhoods citywide, (link to item here)
and the development of an app to help residents manage parking more efficiently during street sweeping. (link to item here)
Additionally, traffic safety related to navigation apps can be found here.
There are many more initiatives and proposals Councilwoman Suzie Price has led over the past year but these are a few of the highlights in addition to important funding to the Third District, great projects scheduled for the Third District, and important infrastructure investments on the way for our many Third District communities.

Public Works City Permit to Trim Parkway Trees...
ON YOUR OWN TERMS!
One of the top 5 requests I receive as a Field Deputy is requesting to trim parkway trees.
Did you k
now that the City of Long Beach has a tree maintenance policy to abide by? The Tree Maintenance policy details the conditions a tree needs to be in order to be removed. Private trees obstructing private property and "The conservation of City
trees, especially those in parkways, is collaboration between the City and its individual residents. Property owners and/or their tenants are required to care for and properly maintain their parkway trees and report any damaged or suspected diseased trees to the Public Works Department."
Here is the mission statement and the link to find more about the
Tree Maintenance Policy:
Mission
Statement
It is the intent of the following provisions to recognize and underscore the importance of the trees and urban forest of Long Beach and to preserve the trees of our City for future generations.
The purpose of this Tree Maintenance Policy is to provide guidelines to administer Section 14.28 of the Long Beach Municipal Code, to preserve and protect the community's urban forest and to promote the health and safety of City trees, from the time they are planted through maturity. Guidelines are included for planting, maintenance and removal of street trees located in the public rights-of-way (the area between the curb and the sidewalk known as parkways and median islands).
This policy is intended to be used as a reference by City staff, citizens and private contractors for tree-related decisions in the public rights-of-way in the City of Long Beach.
A popular option is to take advantage of the permit to trim the city's trees on the property owner's own terms. The Tree Maintenance Policy explains this option to
obtain a no-fee permit to trim the City's trees through a private vendor.
"If a property owner wishes to have a parkway tree trimmed sooner than the City can schedule it, he/she may request and complete a no-fee Permit to Trim a Street Tree. The property owner shall be responsible for the tree trimming and for all costs related to it, including
cleanup
. A City-approved, licensed, bonded and insured contractor must do the actual trimming (p.2)."

Island Village Community Cleanup
 On Saturday November 9th, the Island Village Community Association organized a Community Cleanup. Carol Myers, President of the IV Community Association, championed her vision and work ethic to rally troops, our council office, and the Dept. of Public Works to tackle 2nd St, past Shopkeeper Rd, PAST Studebaker, and up to Island Village Rd. Wow what a stretch to clean.
You might have seen a group cleaning that Saturday morning and even notice a lane closure for a short section of 2nd St. The Dept. of Public Works really stepped up and assisted us in this endeavor by closing down part of the lane on 2nd St to keep it safely away from traffic, bringing out their crews with large equipment, refuse trucks, and machinery to trim down the dried brush. There was a tremendous amount of effort to beautify this area and clean the debris left behind.
This is the magic when community associations, city departments, and elected officials find ways to work and improve an area together. Thankful for the opportunities to work together and share the rewards with the greater rest of the city. So impressed by Island Village Community, instead of complaining about this, they took action and jumped right in to help out. It's important to do things for others and find ways to collaborate- this is one of the many ways you can.
 Interested in organizing a community cleanup? Feel free to email me, and I can assist with getting the supplies needed. That's how the council office gets involved too. Need shovels, brooms, gloves, trash bags, and refreshments? Let us help your community and neighborhood association.
Here's what Carol had to say about the Island Village Community Cleanup
1st Semi-Annual 2nd Street Clean-Up Was Very Successful!
With a turnout of nearly 30 IV residents, we joined the LB Public Works Department on Nov 9 to pick up trash and clean out a pathway to the Marketplace. It was a fun and successful event demonstrated by a widened, safer walkway for IV residents to get exercise and walk to the shopping centers. After morning refreshments, the event was kicked off by Councilwoman Suzie Price (she brought the donuts and coffee) and her Chief of Staff, Jack Cunningham, as well as her Field Deputy, Gabriela Yates.
 Before 9am, we headed to the streets, one group hit the north side of 2nd St for trash and the other group met Public Works on the south side to rake up trash and weed trimmings. We found everything from a front fender to a suitcase! A byproduct is that cleaning out the roadsides will deter the squatters. THANKS to everyone who helped! We would like to list names but not enough room and you know who you are! We even got honks from passersby who obviously approved of the improvement we made to 2nd Street! Let's plan to organize in six months and hope to get some new Trash Heroes.

Coyote Encounters Safety Measures & Reminders
Earlier in November many residents reached out to our office to gather information and inform us of coyote sightings. The City released a Public Notice on November 14th
in response to these sightings. So it's best to have a friendly reminder of how to live amongst these animals and how to protect yourself, and your pets!
Please follow these important safeguards to protect pets and property against these wild animals. Coyotes do not require open space to survive and have successfully adapted to living in urban and suburban neighborhoods. I even remember seeing coyotes in neighbor's pools! So be mindful that coyotes are comfortable here and can be seen at any time of day. However, coyotes are more active at dusk, dawn, and at night.
- Keep pets, especially cats and small dogs, inside.
- Keep pet food indoors, and if feeding pets outdoors, supervise feeding and remove the food bowls within an hour.
- Stay close to pets when they are outside and keep them on a leash, especially between dusk and dawn.
- Remove fallen fruit from the ground.
- Bag food waste and make sure trash containers are securely closed.
- Use "hazing" techniques to shoo away coyotes, such as:
- Standing tall, yelling and waving arms
- Using a whistle, air horn, bell or other noisemaking device
- Banging pots or pans together
- Stomping your feet
- Flashing bright lights at the coyote
- Sprayingthe coyote with a water hose or pepper spray
- Throwing tennis balls or sticks toward the coyote
- Never run from a coyote. Running from a coyote can instigate the coyote's prey instinct to chase.
- Never feed coyotes or any other wildlife.
Please email animalcare@longbeach.gov or call (562) 570-7387 to reques tinformational flyers, to schedule a speaker for a neighborhood watch or community meeting or to determine whether an Animal Control Officer is needed.
It is important to make reports about coyote activity and encounters to Long Beach Animal Care Services. To report coyote sightings and encounters, visit
www.longbeach.gov/acs/wildlife.
An Animal Control Officer will respond to coyote calls if the coyote is sick or injured, out in the daytime in areas around people, especially children at parks or schools or anytime there is an attack or threatening behavior toward a person or pet. If a coyote is posing an imminent threat to life, call 911

Turkey Trot 2019
This Thanksgiving morning, Long Beach residents and families came out to the Granada Boat Launch Ramp to run in the 17th annual Long Beach Turkey Trot! Despite the rain,
runners came out to support the Community Action Team charity which hosts more
than 60 projects, events, and contests focused on animal, environmental, and youth welfare throughout Long Beach. Before the race run kicked off, runners dropped off non-perishable food items to the AIDS Food Bank to be donated. After the run, runners could pick up a fresh pumpkin pie as a thank you for participating. We would like to thank Justin Rudd for putting on an incredible event and for giving back to the Long Beach community!

AHIA Tree Lighting
As the sun set on Thanksgiving evening, Alamitos Bay kicked off the Christmas season at
 the annual Trees in the Bay lighting ceremony! A tradition since 1949, Alamitos Bay's famous floating Christmas trees were lit in various locations throughout Long Beach. The Parks, Recreation, and Marine Department has done a fantastic job installing and improving the trees every year. The trees will stay lit until New Year's Day, and we hope residents and visitors enjoy the beautiful lights in the Marina this holiday season!

Anti-Bulling Event
 This month our office hosted our 6th annual "Stand Up! Speak up!" Anti-Bullying and Empowerment workshop on Cal State Long Beach's campus. Families joined Councilwoman Price for a fun, interactive event on learning the power of being an upstander when witnessing unkindness. This year, our keynote speaker Jessica Truesdell served a powerful message of redemption and empowerment when faced with adversity. After the keynote speech, parents and kids split up into breakout session to discuss and brainstorm ideas to combat unkindness and stand up for others facing situations of bullying. The ideas presented by both the parents and kids proved to be constructive and easy to implement into everyday situations. We would like to thank our incredible speakers and facilitators who helped put on this event, and we can't wait for next year's workshop!

Lajon Miller
"My voice stands with her voice, and each line I create builds a step towards equality for her."
Sitting down with Lajon Miller I wanted to know more about his iconic pink hair pieces.While Lajon's recent work is at the Main Library in City Hall, better known as Billie Jean King Library, I chose to focus on LaJon's work because of how I discovered him.
I saw his business card at Park Pantry (a local favorite!) and his work in Naples at The Studio O salon owner and stylist by Oscar Vasquez (a phenomenal salon and stylist!). I thought it was so cool to see these women, with this pink curly hair, in a salon that typically you
wouldn't see. So often, we see the atypical Fantastic Sam's catalog  women blown out or the Paul Mitchell posters. This artist, Lajon Miller, wanted to change that. These women in these typical hair salon posters look flawless because of a team, and when ladies go into the hair salon, we usually look wild and free ready to get a new hairdo. What a significant way to create art and showcase it in an strategic way!
Lajon chose to paint women as so many females played a significant role in his life. From 1 mother, 4 sisters, past loves, there's been some pivotal moments in Lajon's life that a woman empowered him. It was only right to focus his creative energy to illustrating the power of women. So for the last 4 years, he has focused on illustrating and painting a woman's power and natural beauty.
"The women in my paintings are not based on any one specific female or feminine figure in my life but a plethora of many women. Women have been a direct influence on a multitude of positive and significant transitions throughout my life experiences. Especially in the direction towards an art career. In this present state I live in a world of massive gender inequality and I'm making it my personal responsibility as a man to use my voice creatively to bring attention and awareness to the strength, passion, resilience, innovation and beauty that women can offer to the world. If we allow women to receive the same opportunities and treatment there can only be amazing positivity and growth for us as human beings. The power of creation and the universe itself exists within the woman and without her we could never be."
As a women of color, with lots of curly hair, I'm naturally intrigued by Lajon's work. I had no idea the deep our conversation would go, and I was impressed by how thought out the iconic pink hair piece was. The many creative expressions Lajon likes to work with the textured curly hair needed vibrance to show how wild, powerful, and free a woman can set herself out to be. More importantly, the symbolism of the pink hair is profound and plays a role in Lajon's personal family life. His mother, a Breast Cancer
Surivor inspired the hair to be pink.
"I like to use color to evoke a visual reaction. Texture in an art piece has always beenvery alluring to me, so I want to create that individual attraction for the viewer to want to touch my artwork.. I tend to work with acrylic and watercolor mediums because of the faster application and drying process." Often times Lajon finds himself exploring and mixing different paint mediums. Crossing over spray paint into acrylics. As well as combining watercolor, ink and acrylic paint.
Growing up in southern California, Lajon began drawing at the age of four years old. Sitting in front of the television and drawing scenes from old Looney Tunes shows like Tom and Jerry or Popeye his parents saw how talented he was. Actually, they probably thought he was copying his older sister who also liked to draw, but more for a leisure activity. Little did they know, Lajon was honing in on his dedicated craft. Closer to the age of 10, Lajon found the realization of how much he loved getting lost in his own world creating characters or scenes from his imagination.
Of course, Lajon appreciates the finer workings from the great artists like Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Monet, Charles Bargue as well as pop culture masters like Dali. And more current artists like Justin Bua, Kenturah, Davis Kehinde Wiley and comic book illustrating masters such as Alex Ross, Todd McFarlane, J. Scott Campbell, Rob Liefeld, Jack Kirby and Akira Toriyama.
Eventually Lajon received his 3D Animation Degree and formal art training from an experienced watercolor and oil painting master in Glendale,CA. Through trial and error, Lajon began to experiment with more modern mediums such as acrylic and spray paint.
Check out their fantastic work
