TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the Tidelands Operating Fund (TF) and in the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine (PR) by $17,003,722, to match approved loan funds for the Marina rebuilds; and authorize City Manager to execute an amendment to Agreement
No. 28828 with Connolly-Pacific Co., for $2,486,198, related to the refurbishment of the Long Beach Shoreline Marina and Rainbow Marina, in a total amount not to exceed $32,598,780. (District 2)

City has requested expansion I of the project beyond the original scope. The total
