Summary

At its Nov. 11 meeting the council reported a closed-session $2.45 million settlement, adopted a military-equipment special order, awarded facility and service contracts totaling several million dollars, and adopted municipal code updates including the 2025 California Building Standards Code.

Long Beach—s City Council used its Nov. 11 meeting to take several formal actions beyond the high-profile Belmont Shore discussion.

Closed-session report: The city attorney reported the settlement of Rooney v. Amcord for $2,450,000.

Military equipment report: Per state law, the police department's 2024 annual military equipment use report was received and filed; the council adopted a 2025 military-equipment special order and directed the city attorney to prepare an ordinance as required by Assembly Bill 481.

Contracts and procurements: Council awarded a contract to DC Integrate for the Long Beach Police Department North Division HVAC upgrade and roof repair for an amount not to exceed $2,642,400; and authorized an as-needed annual contract with Honeywell International for energy solutions and battery storage citywide not to exceed $2,200,000.

Land use and code actions: The council approved first reading of an ordinance designating 149 Sienna Drive as a historic landmark and adopted a resolution establishing the designation; it also voted to adopt the 2025 edition of the California Building Standards Code and related local amendments to Title 18 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.

Votes on these items were taken during the meeting; the transcript records motions being carried for each item but does not display detailed roll-call tallies.

What this means: The HVAC and battery-storage contracts fund municipal facility upgrades and energy resilience projects; the military-equipment special order satisfies state transparency requirements; and updating the building code aligns local regulations with state codes.

Next steps: staff will prepare ordinance language for the military-equipment special order, complete contract awarding and procurement paperwork, and return for any required follow-up reports.
