The two elements, which by state law must be adopted before June 30, now go to the City Council for another public hearing and final action. The Planning Commission also approved environmental impact reports on the two elements. The reports, which are required by state law, do not have to go to the council Only a handful of citizens attended the public hearing. Planning Director Era- est Mayer Jr.

Thats what hes supposed to answer to, though far 1 havent observed him answering to anything. Well probably call him Red. A rancher friend advised this. When you get mad at a horse, he said, you dont want to waste time with two syllables yelling at him. Actually, Reds name is Reddy Joe.

The overall updating of Long Beachs general plan, the first since 1961, is scheduled to be completed in two years. The state requires nine elements for city general plans.
