TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute all documents necessary for the Second Amendment to Lease No. 28350 between the City of Long Beach and The Bolder Group, Inc., a California corporation, for the continued operation of the City-owned facilities known as the Alamitos Bay Marina Fuel Dock and the Shoreline Marina Fuel Dock.
