Councilmember Garcia Proposes City Smart-Phone Application As part of his continuing effort to make Long Beach a leader in the use of technology to support city services, Councilmember Robert Garcia has proposed the creation of "Long Beach City App," a smart-phone application that would enable residents to photograph and instantly report problems like graffiti, potholes, and other neighborhood blights to city staff.
"This is a simple and inexpensive way to help beautify the neighborhoods, increase efficiency in the city, and to involve more residents, especially young people, in the community," said Councilmember Garcia.
The Equal Benefits Ordinance, first introduced by Councilmember Robert Garcia this summer, moved one step closer Tuesday to becoming law in Long Beach.

Councilmembers Robert Garcia and Gerrie Schipske (cd5) have introduced a recommendation, which was adopted by the Council, to create a lobbyist registration and regulation ordinance.
