TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute the First Amendment to Lease Agreement No. 28338 between City of Long Beach (City) and the County Sanitation District No. 3 of Los Angeles County (County) for the property located at 1173 North Loma Vista Drive. (District 1)
DISCUSSION
On September 10, 2002, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a 20-year lease agreement with County Sanitation District No. 3 of Los Angeles County (County) to lease approximately 0.14 acres of County-owned land, located at 1173 North Loma Vista Drive (Premises).

A First Amendment to the lease has been negotiated to extend the term for a period of twenty (20) years through May 13, 2043, for a one-time rent payment in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000).
On April 20, 2023, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended to the City Manager the approval of the First Amendment to Lease No. 28338. The terms and conditions of the First Amendment include the following:
