Speaker 2: Can I get a second, please? I get a significant number often come from an on comments.
Speaker 1: I yes, I do. I'm a I'm excited to see these concession stands moving closer to opening. I know that we have a fair amount of work that's left to do on the Alamitos Beach facility that I know we're going to get there. I love looking out the back, my porch and seeing progress done daily. It also makes me happy to see that we're activating these spaces and getting back to normal. And I know my colleague, Councilwoman Price, is having some connectivity issues. And so she has she has some comments to make on this item to a clerk. Can you can you just read her comments?
Speaker 0: A councilwoman. We did not receive the comments from the council member.
Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. All right. I do have a just a quick question. Do we have any updated timeline on the Alamitos facility?
Speaker 3: Yes. I believe Eric Lopez is available and can answer that question.
Speaker 1: Yes. Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Tom. Councilman Allen, we are on track to come back to council in August with a recommendation for Alamitos. So Alamitos and Granada are a little more complicated. We're going to we're still working on those. So those will be forthcoming.
Speaker 1: Okay. Wonderful. Thank you, Eric, for that update. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Councilman Austin, any comments? Oh, yes. Obviously, I support this. I spent a lot of time at the beach and. Ah ah ah or walk or bike path and walking path are where you really busy. You know, I think this addition particularly is right on time for the summer confessions to have a great, great summer here in Long Beach. I didn't want to hear I know there's a presentation from staff. You know, I think this is a big item that we could just give here, a brief presentation to hear about what will be actually here for the public. Sure thing. I mean, do it. And I mean customers and because first.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mayor. These projects sound so very exciting and I know that it is something people are really looking forward to being able to enjoy. I was happy to hear that the cost up for business were kept at a low as low as possible, so that to be able to ensure that prices will be kept somewhat affordable for our residents, which is something that's very important to me. In addition to that, something that I have always wanted to ensure is to be part of the conversation when it comes to the development of new businesses and projects like these. And one of the things that is, as you know, very important to me is that we are at a compliant and we have accessibility for everyone to enjoy this, these amendments. So I'm really happy that we are being part of the conversation and that ADA compliance is actually part of the planning as we move forward. I know that these projects seem to be, you know, designed, you know, in phases. So I'm really, really excited to see all of the upcoming new new ones that are coming in. And I'm like, this said, I'm so very happy that they are ADA compliant that way. Everyone here in Long Beach and from out of state of Long Beach can enjoy these equally. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Mr. Monica, do you have a quick staff presentation? Yes, we can. Agenda?
Speaker 3: Yes, we can certainly show a couple of pictures of before and after work that's happened. And we'll skip over some of the terms, real estate terms, and the council has those in front of them. But I'd like to show what these projects could look like. So, John and Sergio. Thank you, Tom. Good evening, honorable mayor. Council members, really quickly, just as as Tom mentioned, we have our five beach locations along our four miles of waterfront here in Long Beach. Just to highlight just the beautiful work that has been done, here is an image of the Granada Beach concession, the before and after . And you can see kind of the enhancement that has been taking place. The next picture on your screen shows the public improvements that actually have been made to the Granada Beach lot. This next image is a picture of the Junipero Beach concession and the before and after, and you can see that tremendous change that actually has taken place. And this next image shows the junior Broadbeach Beach concession area, a public area, and the just the tremendous change that took place with the addition of new play equipment. And as as Eric mentioned, a forthcoming item that we will bring to you in in in August is going to be the Alamitos Beach concession. But here's a preview just showing the tremendous improvement at Alamitos Beach. Just quickly, very, very quickly, the goals of the concession was to really activate the waterfront, increase the use of the coast, and bring just a great overall assortment of mixes of of of of of tenants and uses. Here, I'll skip over a couple of these items just to keep it as brief as possible. I'm sorry. Here we go. In just for the beach or launch. We've actually selected Grill Em All. It is a location that will have a five year lease. The second location, Juniper will have salt water depth. And at Mother's Beach, we've selected Louisiana. Charlie's. And selected pedal movement for to provide beach amenities to three at three locations and really almost providing a micromobility program. And with that we select and recommend these concessionaires for for your approval. Thank you so much for your consideration.

Speaker 2: Absolutely.

Speaker 0: I want to thank city staff for working diligently to pursue qualified concession concessionaires for these locations. I had the opportunity to receive a briefing from Director Lopez last week on the recommended vendors, and I'm excited to see this item come to council tonight. There have been so many Thailand's projects that have helped activate our beach front in the past seven years, starting with the beach pedestrian path and then the concession stand upgrades. I don't think our beaches have ever looked so good or offered so many amenities for beachgoers.
