Long Beach City Council suspends meetings for July summer recess

Under the warm California sun, the City of Long Beach is gearing up for its annual summer recess, a time when council meetings take a break for the month of July. Residents can expect the city council to reconvene on Tuesday, August 5, while other commission and committee meetings will continue as scheduled, ensuring that essential city functions remain active during this period.

As summer brings outdoor activities, the Long Beach Health Department is reminding residents to stay vigilant against mosquitoes, which can carry harmful viruses. They recommend practical steps to minimize risks, such as dumping excess water from pots and containers, keeping pools clean, installing window screens, and using insect repellent containing DEET. For more detailed safety tips, residents are encouraged to visit the city’s website.

In an effort to empower the youth, the Space Beach Youth Workforce Summer Camp is making a return, inviting young people aged 16 to 24 to apply by July 7. This program offers a unique opportunity to explore career paths with aerospace employers and learn from industry experts. With only 45 spots available, interested applicants are urged to act quickly to secure their place in this enriching experience.

As Long Beach embraces the summer season, these initiatives reflect the city’s commitment to community health and youth development, setting the stage for a vibrant and engaged community.
