A CONVERSATION WITH COUNCILWOMAN SUZIE PRICE
Dear Neighbors:
Don’t miss our Thursday, March 1 meeting. For the first half of the meeting, Councilwoman Suzie Price will give her yearly update on what’s been going on and what is on the drawing board for Belmont Shore and Belmont Park. The second half will be devoted to your questions for the councilwoman. DON’T FORGET OUR MARCH MEETING WILL BEGIN AT 6:30 pm INSTEAD OF 6 pm. Members asked that we try beginning a half hour later for a couple of months.
Our February 1 meeting was a great success. Commander Erik Herzog took us through an hour of police calls on a Friday evening, explaining what each call was about, how quickly it was responded to and the final resolution. It was an “eye opener” for all who attended and we had a packed house.
Following our March meeting with the Councilwoman we have three compelling programs planned:
April 5 – The Pros and Cons of Rent Control
May 3 – City Auditor Laura Doud
June 7 – City Prosecutor Doug Haubert on the new Belmont Shore Prosecutor

Bicycle thefts and chop shops long have been associated with the homeless population in Long Beach, and in particular with those selling the results to buy drugs.
So Third District City Councilwoman Suzie Price led a charge Tuesday to make it illegal to assemble or take bicycles apart in public. Price, Daryl Supernaw (Fourth), Dee Andrews (Sixth) and Al Austin (Eighth) joined Price in the request to have the city attorney draft an ordinance creating the new law.
Price said the Public Works Department should work with the Police Department to identify "chop shops" where bicycles are taken apart and parts sold. Then, with the new law in hand, police and city employees could remove both bicycles and bicycle parts.
An additional current article regarding Bike Chop Shops can be found in the Press-Telegram.
