Presenters described extensive internal and public outreach: TID said it engaged more than 875 unique individuals, including 481 city staff survey responses and 272 community survey responses (in English, Spanish, Khmer and Tagalog), plus focus groups and benchmarking against peer cities. \"We are the heart of a connected, secure and future ready Long Beach,\" said a department presenter when announcing the plan's vision.

The roadmap groups initiatives across infrastructure, hardware, software, website service delivery, operations and management. Notable items cited as high priority include a Wi-Fi infrastructure plan for city facilities, a security camera inventory and upgrade plan, an application rationalization process to identify duplicated systems, a Critical Needs 2 technology plan to replace end-of-life foundational systems, and the establishment of a formal IT governance and project management office.

Staff presented a very preliminary cost estimate of roughly $60 million over four years for the full roadmap and noted the plan's potential budgetary implications: city manager staff characterized an expected ongoing structural cost impact in the range of $2 million to $3 million and a projected total annual impact of about $10 million by fiscal year 2029 if fully implemented. Staff said some costs will be offset by reinvesting savings as previous technology-related debt comes off the books and by pursuing a mix of financing options.

Council discussion focused on staffing, vacancy rates and sequencing. Councilmembers asked about current TID vacancies and about measures to avoid staff burnout; staff said the department has reduced vacancies from about 23% to about 16% in the last year and recommended a staffing assessment and targeted hires to support the plan. Councilmembers also stressed the need to coordinate digital equity, public-facing website improvements and vendor partnerships, and to leverage the Technology & Innovation Commission for public accountability.

City staff recommended and the council approved the roadmap as a planning document; staff will prepare a detailed implementation schedule and funding plan, present year-one budget requests, and post the roadmap on a public webpage for ongoing accountability.","Long Beach's Technology & Innovation Department presented and the council approved a strategic roadmap (TID28) that prioritizes 31 initiatives over four years, with staff estimating a rough four-year cost of about $60 million and an ongoing annual impact to city funds; council approved the plan for implementation planning and funding steps.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":46,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6567594,"Long Beach youth advisory council highlights participatory budgeting, mentorship and re-engagement work",2882,6418000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3289870-944e990392e5fea6703c1b807673464a&start=6418&end=9300","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3289870-944e990392e5fea6703c1b807673464a/thumbnail_6418000.jpg","/articles/6567594/Long-Beach/Los-Angeles-County/California/Long-Beach-youth-advisory-council-highlights-participatory-budgeting-mentorship-and-re-engagement-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567594-3a7134050e88c9e338b61e76e22c7b58/orig.mp4?Expires=1777563199&Signature=lF-HPtgmtxjG3HaxobzMus3GUTa6RUXDx~RN8vlReox~iKWVchQZFNmlFqUuXTVi99MvvweuuvdVgtGdjLpRWwMfwKOyBAYBtE0sisOaTRLPQT8shkWRasQ2IB7n5YOHtgooOe4hACfkrT88~j6HB5gffQoX~CvLnrpB3D1epy9jPPNfnqYy7GbnDdZdlj26JTqvVgh9UkgT39NPqICG8akGYLCPZisshr-PiJS-7M-cB9o42vXtHSP0exAYd8LFCafo4gQ5j6rAPhLyTKVrvlP6GveTZvdsaLCXOynMA8P4AKwq8xTK80OA6zzgkTVEL17HTTpsrfjPR4XNx0nUrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Long Beach City Council received an update May 13 on the four-year Youth and Emerging Adult Strategic Plan and on the Office of Youth Development's work to implement it.

City staff said the office now has four full-time staff, three youth fellows and two youth interns; funding in fiscal year 2025 combines Measure US dollars, Long Beach Recovery Act funding and a three-year Conrad N. Hilton Foundation grant. \"The Office of Youth Development was created to anchor the implementation of the youth strategic plan. The office serves as a convener, funder, and capacity builder,\" staff said.

Young people from the Youth Advisory Council addressed the council and described projects led by youth. Edrick Salgado, who spoke about his personal experience with homelessness and loss, urged elected officials to treat youth as partners, not just consultees: \"Listen to us. Not only just invest in us, but get to know us and understand why we are the way we are. Believe in us because when you invest in youth, you're not just shaping our future. You're shaping the future of Long Beach.\" Other youth speakers described participatory budgeting projects that awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars to youth-designed programs and a mentorship initiative that pairs city employees with middle-school students.

Staff highlighted results from the Youth Power participatory budgeting cycles: in recent years Measure US funds distributed $1.25 million across 82 nonprofits and 27 funded projects, and in the latest cycle nearly 2,000 votes were cast. Staff also outlined the Futures First initiative to reconnect opportunity youth (young people ages 16 to 24 not in school or work), estimating more than 5,000 such youth in Long Beach and saying the majority are aged 20 to 24.

Council members praised the youth presenters and asked staff to continue strengthening partnerships with Long Beach Transit, schools, Long Beach City College and nonprofit partners. Staff said a public dashboard tracking the plan's 72 activities and status (not started, planning, implementing, completed) is available at the city's youth web pages and will be refined to keep progress visible.

Council moved to receive and file the presentation. The motion carried.","City staff and youth advisory council members presented a four-year update to the Youth and Emerging Adult Strategic Plan, reporting participatory budgeting investments, mentorship programs and an initiative to re-engage opportunity youth; council received the update.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6567596,"Long Beach council receives Age Friendly Action Plan to guide services for older residents",816,3055000,3871000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3289870-944e990392e5fea6703c1b807673464a&start=3055&end=3871","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3289870-944e990392e5fea6703c1b807673464a/thumbnail_3055000.jpg","/articles/6567596/Long-Beach/Los-Angeles-County/California/Long-Beach-council-receives-Age-Friendly-Action-Plan-to-guide-services-for-older-residents","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567596-b0580a4f0aa17fc202ad4c20ee37ce15/orig.mp4?Expires=1777563200&Signature=fWnf2Z3Nb268K1bZ60SCrPYV6PTOq3ZaMhEhOEdYl6kXFWUF-wOYcGNYFD1rLekKT64MQgDmGXk09a2-WOB6ohqMKMQAGNlJO0FHFH6cndRuiitbDzGIF5BTSaOpnUm2zcVzwFLZJOnQar39FhnHEH87-lQVkkjweROiFPz5XLOtmeQE5BRWOZPR0x8ahFhhQwERreHoiRPaPMzFhDbbo45xIQisbW9CXem~EI85iukEsxa1n4WLD-0ARxMl2zahi85MPVPU5ttPLgG-nh3yctVnBG5UprYOBvg-NeOEzT1pl7753anAfrpLkeuaHKH3-fb~M9AT8YrU5TDzHaJcDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Long Beach City Council received the city'wide Age Friendly Action Plan on May 13, a comprehensive framework city staff said will guide programs and partnerships to serve an expanding population of older adults.

Health and Human Services staff presented the plan, which city officials said was developed through community workshops, steering-committee work groups and outreach with more than 110 subject-matter experts and 62 older residents. \"This plan will serve as our community wide blueprint designed to guide and align the efforts of private, public, and independent sectors towards the shared goal of creating a more inclusive, supportive, and livable city for older adults and people of all ages,\" said Sofia Hojat, Healthy Aging Center manager.

The plan organizes findings and actions into three environments (built, social and service) and nine domains of livability. Staff said it contains 24 goals and 108 action items, and includes short-, medium- and long-term progress indicators. Presenters emphasized the plan's focus on cross-sector implementation rather than immediate new city commitments: \"While the plan does not commit any agency to any specific project, action, or investment, this detailed workable plan is available online for any individual, agency, or business to download and to take actions towards improving livability,\" said Lisonbee King, director of human services.

Speakers from local nonprofit and academic organizations cheered the plan and urged the council to prioritize implementation and measurable benchmarks. Annette Rodriguez, program manager for the Center for Successful Aging at California State University, Long Beach, told the council the center will support the plan with student interns and research collaboration. Gretchen Swanson, who facilitates the Aging Services Collaborative advocacy work group, urged the mayor to provide continuing leadership and to ensure measurable implementation.

Council members and staff discussed next steps for oversight and implementation. Staff said the advisory commission on older adults will receive updates and will be asked to help prioritize and champion actions. Council members asked staff to make the plan's equity and aging lenses explicit in other city planning and to coordinate with public transit, parks and housing teams as priorities move toward implementation.

At the end of the discussion the council moved to receive and file the plan. The item was a \"receive and file\" hearing; the motion carried. Staff noted the plan will remain a living document and recommended regular updates and an implementation accountability approach involving the Technology & Innovation Department's planned dashboard and the advisory commission.

The plan and associated materials are posted on the city's website; staff said the plan does not itself obligate new expenditures but is intended to guide future budgets and grant-seeking.","The Long Beach City Council on May 13 received the city'wide Age Friendly Action Plan, a cross-sector blueprint with 9 livability domains, 24 goals and 108 action items intended to prepare the city for a growing older population and to guide future investment and coordination.","actionData","errors"]
