Good morning, Long Beach. It\u2019s Monday, Nov. 24. Here\u2019s what you need to know to start your day.<\/p>\n

City meetings<\/p>\n

Welcome. This week is Thanksgiving, and that means it\u2019ll be a Garfield balloon with its half-lidded expression making its way across 34th Street on TV, not your Long Beach city government.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re celebrating at home, away or not at all, you should probably know that the halls of Long Beach polity will be closed most of the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This includes public meetings. There is no scheduled meeting of the Long Beach City Council, and the half dozen commission or committee meetings are canceled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many facilities will be closed Thursday and Friday, including city libraries, City Hall and the Health Department, among others. Libraries will reopen Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There will be no street sweeping on Thursday or Friday, so sleep in and don\u2019t fret about moving your car. Parking meters, however, will be enforced unless the meter states \u201cExempt on Holidays.\u201d Trash and recycling will be collected as scheduled on both days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

City parks and trails, including El Dorado Regional Park, as well as fire and police stations, the city airport, and dispatch for city utility services, will remain open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For a full list of closures, visit here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will convene its regular Tuesday meeting<\/a>. Items to consider will include a report<\/a> on the county\u2019s budget \u2014 and how federal and state cuts will affect it \u2014 as well as a discussion on whether to remove county permit fees<\/a> for those rebuilding their homes following the Palisade Fire earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And on Monday, days after federal immigration agents chased and arrested<\/a> multiple people in Long Beach, Rep. Robert Garcia will hold a congressional hearing in downtown Los Angeles to examine past examples of unlawful detention of U.S. citizens and immigrants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The hearing will include a carousel of civic leaders, advocates and testimonies from those who say they were illegally detained by ICE agents. We\u2019ll be there and will report back.<\/p>\n
