Subject:External Email : Beach closure
City Council,
Calm minds and clear direction define great leaders when they are needed most. Who needs great leadership
when everything is going well?
Now we have a crises and the Seal Beach city council decides to close the beach and water. Huntington Beach,
San Clemente are significantly bigger and they have control, so all beaches are open. Huntington’s mayor talks
about how respectful the people are about distancing.
Seal Beach apparently has no control, therefore they decided to close it to everyone. If you can kick people off
the beach and enforce that rule, why can’t you simply enforce a rule that forbids people to sit on the beach; if
you can’t sit on the beach your not going to get a crowd (easier to enforce than a blatant kickoff) walking and
running are ok, just stay 6’ apart; surfing, yes!! People are closer on the sidewalk then they were on the beach
or in the water.
I’m not sure why you chose the extreme measure to close the beach, your suppose to be in tune with the
community, were not Long Beach!! People are respectful here, just like Huntington.
Change the rules and show better leadership, (also that your in tune with locals in seal beach) no sitting or
congregating on the sand...walking 6’ apart, running and surfing are ok.
Thank you,
Steve Riggs
