Long Beach will begin its annual summer recess from City Council meetings starting this week.
City Council meetings that would have normally been held on Tuesday, June 23, July 7 and July 14 will not take place, according to a recent press release. A meeting will also not be held on June 30 because City Council meetings typically do not take place on the last Tuesday of the month.
The regular meeting schedule will resume on July 21.
It is a standard practice for jurisdictions to conduct a legislative recess over the summer months, according to the press release. This annual legislative summer recess aligns Long Beach with the state and other major cities.
There are no anticipated impacts on city business because of the recess. Commission and committee meetings held in June and July will not be affected by the recess, and the agendas for those meetings can be found via the city’s OneMeeting portal.
While City Council meetings will not take place from June 23 to July 14, council members plan to remain engaged with constituents, and they will have more opportunities to participate in local community summer events and activities.
Long Beach is offering a variety of family-friendly programs, activities and events for residents of all ages. There are youth recreation programs, a summer reading challenge, concerts in the park, sports camps, art classes and more. For a complete list of activities, visit longbeach.gov/summer.
