Subject: California Public Records Act request — R-7192 current tree disposition, VIS-2 and design transmission records

To the City of Long Beach Records Custodian:

Under the California Public Records Act, please provide existing public records concerning West Shoreline Drive Realignment Project R-7192 / procurement PW-26-759, particularly for the area north of Ocean Boulevard near César E. Chávez Park and the Los Angeles River:

1. The latest operative drawing set, revision log, and plans/schedules designating individual trees for removal, clearing, retention, transplanting, protection, or construction damage monitoring.
2. Existing-tree inventories and predesign site surveys, including dates, authors, maps, databases, and communications transmitting them to design engineers and consultants.
3. VIS-2 design-stage mature-tree minimization verification, completion and approval records, applicable mitigation monitoring documents and design-alternatives analyses.
4. Written Engineer directions, removal or clearing authorizations, relevant change orders, field instructions, and inspection records affecting existing trees.
5. Any existing schedules or notices identifying the earliest destructive tree/vegetation work, and tree-protection plans for roots, grading, utilities and construction staging.
6. Records identifying which office/official possesses delegated authority to approve or reconsider tree removals and respond to new preservation evidence.

Please provide electronic records with their existing dates, revisions and native file formats when reasonably available, identify withheld items and the basis for any withholding, and inform me if the request should be routed to another department.

This is a request for existing records, not a demand that the City generate a new analysis.

Thank you,
