Anaheim’s Mayor Harry Sidhu will be part of a team that will lead negotiations with the Los Angeles Angels. Some members objected to his nomination because of his financial ties to the team.
Measure A has generated tens of millions of dollars the city has spent on roads, police and fire personnel. If it goes away, city leaders say cuts could come even as tax rates remain the same.
Both Anaheim and Long Beach say it could be months before a direction is clearer as to where the Los Angeles Angels will call home in the future.
The project would connect Colorado Lagoon to Marine Stadium by creating a channel between the two bodies of water. In return for funding it, the Port of Long Beach will receive mitigation credits.
Billie Jean King is a Long Beach legend but some feel her accomplishments are more athletic than education-based. The new Main Library could soon bear her name.
One official said that if the city wants to ensure that it reaps the benefits from an emerging industry like cannabis, it needs to lower barriers to entry.
King is not only regarded as one of the best tennis players in the history of the sport but she’s also a hometown hero.
With little dissent from the public, the council on Tuesday gave direction to staff to write an ordinance declaring a fiscal emergency, the first step in the process of potentially putting a permanent extension of Measure A on the ballot.
The new design will likely strip away the previously approved dome covering, place the pool complex higher up on the beach and could reduce the costs by tens of millions of dollars.
The vote could block official city travel and business dealings with states that pass “heartbeat” bills similar to those in Alabama and Georgia.
