THANK YOU AND. NEXT WE HAVE RICK MCQUILLAN.

GOOD EVENING. HI, EVERYBODY. I'M RICK MCQUILLAN.

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON MY EFFORTS ON ARTESIA BOULEVARD AND BEYOND.

MY APP IS PART OF SOUTH BAY STREETS.COM AND IT'S ALL ABOUT SHOPPING LOCAL, GETTING PEOPLE OUT INTO OUR STORES AND OUR COMMUNITIES.

[00:05:03]

CRT IS WHAT I CALL A COMMERCE MAP OR A VISITOR MAP.

THESE MAPS ARE FOR RESIDENTS, LOCALS, COMMUTERS, HOME AND APARTMENT SEEKERS, VISITORS AND TOURISTS AND THESE MAPS ARE JUST THE STARTING POINT FOR WHAT I CALL COMMUNITY COMMERCE. THAT'S GOING TO BE MORE INTERESTING.

THE CURRENT CRT SITE IS JUST A ROUGH DEMO WITH SOME OLD DATA.

LATER THIS MONTH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE IT. SO LATER THIS MONTH, I'M GOING TO PUBLISH A NEW VERSION OF THE APP THAT LETS PEOPLE UPDATE THE MAPS SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO IN THE BACK DOOR AND DO IT. THEN WE'LL GET ARTESIA BOULEVARD UPDATED.

I'M ALSO PLANNING TO MAP THE GALLERIA IMMEDIATELY, AND OTHER MAPS WILL FOLLOW RIVIERA VILLAGE CORRIDORS ON PCH AND TORRANCE BOULEVARD.

ANYWHERE THERE'S COMMERCE IN THE CITY. SO WHO'S GOING TO DO THIS? THIS TYPE OF WORK. IN THE PAST, I'VE OUTSOURCED IT OR OFFSHORED IT SOMETIMES.

BUT MY PREFERENCE IS TO WORK WITH LOCAL PEOPLE.

SO I'VE BEEN VOLUNTEERING AT REDONDO UNION AT MIKE SU'S ENTREPRENEURSHIP CLASS, HELPING TO EVALUATE STUDENT BUSINESS PLANS AND I'VE KIND OF GOT A MOTIVE.

BECAUSE MIKE POSTED AN INTERNSHIP REQUEST FOR ME, AND I'VE TALKED WITH SEVERAL STUDENTS ABOUT POTENTIAL INTERNSHIPS.

SO I HOPE TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO INTERNS LOADING MAP DATA AND PERFORMING RELATED FUNCTIONS.

THERE'S SOFTWARE TESTING, THERE'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH, THERE'S MARKETING.

RIGHT NOW, I MAY HAVE FOUND EVERYBODY I CAN HANDLE, BUT WE'LL SEE.

I'VE MET SEVERAL EXCELLENT STUDENTS, AND BUT WE MAY NEED MORE IF YOU HAVE INTEREST OR, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE WHO MIGHT, I THINK OUR YOUTH INVOLVEMENT IS GOING TO BE ONGOING ANYWAY.

IT'S NOT A ONE TIME DEAL. THIS IS GOING TO GO ON AND ON FOR YEARS.

AND THIS IS COMMUNITY SOFTWARE. IT'S KIND OF LIKE YOUR LOCAL SOFTWARE BREWERY.

IT'S NOT BUDWEISER, IT'S THE CULTURE CLUB IN MANHATTAN AND WE CAN SHAPE THIS TO OUR COMMUNITY.

IT'LL BE GOOD FOR OUR PROJECT, OUR YOUTH AND OUR COMMUNITY TO GET YOUTH INVOLVEMENT AND ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR TECH COMPANY OUR APP AND THE BOULEVARDS AND STREETS AND BUSINESSES. SO IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED IN HELPING AND LEARNING, YOU CAN CHECK MIKE C.

WHO'S PAGE, IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT. OR YOU CAN REACH ME AT RICK@MC.QCORP.COM.

THANK YOU. THAT'S IT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

[I.1. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE YOUTH COMMISSION’S INPUT ON THE CITY’S FY 2025-26 BUDGET]

OKAY I'LL JUST DO A QUICK REPORT. OKAY. I'LL TURN IT OVER.

SO THIS IS A CONTINUED ITEM FROM OUR LAST AGENDA.

AND AS THE CHAIR STATED, IT'S AN ITEM FOR YOU ALL TO PROVIDE AN INPUT TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS THEY DEVELOP THEIR BUDGET FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, WHICH RUNS FROM JULY 1ST THROUGH JUNE 30TH OF EACH YEAR.

SO THE REPORT TRIED TO BE RESPONSIVE TO PARTS OF THE DISCUSSION THAT YOU HAD LAST MONTH.

I HOPE THAT IT GAVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. BUT JUST TO BRIEFLY GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON A FEW ITEMS LAST MONTH, SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE PART OF THE DISCUSSION WERE CONSIDERATION WITH THE BEACH CITIES, TRANSIT BUSSES FOR AFTER SCHOOL HOURS AND WHERE THE ER, EXCUSE ME, IN AREAS WHERE THE BUSSES ARE TYPICALLY FULL.

I JUST WANT TO SIDE NOTE WITH THAT ITEM, JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE BEACH CITIES TRANSIT TEAM IS ACTUALLY PART OF OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

SO MICHELLE AND I WORK IN THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

A DIVISION IS TRANSIT. SO WE ARE INTIMATELY CONNECTED TO BEACH CITIES TRANSIT AND SO I HAVE FORWARDED ALL OF THE COMMENTS AND THEY LISTENED TO LAST MONTH'S MEETING NOTING YOUR CONCERNS WITH OVERCROWDING OR THE BUSSES NOT SHOWING UP ON TIME OR EVEN NOT AT ALL.

AND SO THEY HAVE FORWARDED THAT TO SOME OF THEIR COUNTERPARTS WITHIN BEACH CITIES TRANSIT, AND THEY ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT WE START TRACKING THAT.

SO IF IT EVER DOES HAPPEN WHERE YOU GUYS ARE AT A STOP AND IT DOESN'T ARRIVE ON TIME OR DOESN'T ARRIVE AT ALL, OR EVEN ARRIVES AND IT'S COMPLETELY FULL AND YOU HAVE NO SPACE TO ACTUALLY RIDE.

PLEASE, SEND ME AN EMAIL. YOU CAN TEXT AT MY NUMBER ON MY CITY NUMBER, YOU CAN TEXT THAT.

OR IF YOU WANT TO JUST GIVE ME A CALL, YOU CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE. IF I DON'T PICK UP. THAT WAY WE CAN TRACK IT.

WE CAN SEE WHAT BUS ROUTE IT IS. WE CAN THAT WAY WE CAN START TO SEE WHERE THE KEY AREAS ARE THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON.

SO IF NOTHING ELSE, I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE SOME COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT WE CERTAINLY ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING THROUGH THAT AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT. FORWARDING TO COUNCIL, UNLESS THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL CONCERNS.

OUR TEAM IS ALREADY ON IT. AS LONG AS WE CAN GET SOME OF THAT DATA FROM YOU WHEN IT HAPPENS.

SO JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT. THE SECOND ITEM THAT WAS PART OF LAST MONTH'S DISCUSSION IS THE POTENTIAL INCLUSION OF LOW COST AMENITIES AT THE PIER THAT

[00:10:08]

THE OTHER ITEM THAT STAFF RECOMMENDED YOUR CONSIDERATION ON WAS FOR THE PERRY PARK TEEN CENTER, WHICH, AS YOU KNOW, HAS NOT FULLY REOPENED. ACTUALLY HASN'T REOPENED AT ALL.

IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. IT IS JUST A SHELL OF A BUILDING.

BUT IT'S A VERY EXCITING PROJECT THAT WE HOPE THAT WE CAN REALLY START KICKSTARTING.

INCLUDED WITH THE REPORT ARE SOME INTERIOR PHOTOS.

THERE WAS SOME COMMENTS LAST MONTH THAT SOME OF YOU GUYS HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO VISIT, AND SO WE HOPE THE PHOTOS AT LEAST GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT CURRENTLY IS THERE.

IT'S REALLY JUST A WIDE OPEN ROOM. WE DO HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY TO KIND OF CORDON SPACES OFF AS WE NEED TO AND SO DON'T GET TOO OVERWHELMED BY JUST THE WIDE OPEN SPACE. BUT WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE COMMISSION CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL TO ALLOCATE ONGOING FUNDING FOR THE FACILITY BECAUSE IT HAS SAT EMPTY. WE REALLY DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH FUNDING FOR ONGOING EVENTS, EVEN MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES.

SO WE CAN TALK THROUGH THAT AS WE KIND OF GO THROUGH THE DISCUSSION, BUT JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT.

AND THEN THERE WAS A FIFTH ITEM THAT WAS DISCUSSED, WHICH WAS THE CONSIDERATION TO INCLUDE CLOSED CAPTIONS FOR OUR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT OUR CITY CLERK'S OFFICE IS ALREADY WORKING ON IN PROGRESS.

THEY ARE GOING TO BE WORKING ON SOME ENHANCED SOFTWARE AND SOME ADDITIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT CAN HELP ENSURE CLOSED CAPTIONING OR EXCUSE ME, THAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING OPPORTUNITIES ARE INCLUDED IN THAT ADVANCED PROGRAMING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING INTO.

SO THAT'S KIND OF ALREADY THAT BOX HAS ALREADY BEEN CHECKED. SO JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT'S ALREADY BEEN COVERED AS WELL. SO BEFORE I TURN THIS OVER TO YOU FOR SOME ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS AFTERNOON WE DID RECEIVE A LETTER FROM THE SOUTH BAY FORWARD ORGANIZATION AND I DID PROVIDE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO UPLOAD IT INTO THE AGENDA.

I DID PROVIDE COPIES FOR ALL OF YOU. IT IS ON THE DAIS.

SO IF YOU CAN. SO YOU'RE WELCOME TO GLANCE THROUGH THAT DURING THE DISCUSSION.

WE WILL GET IT ONLINE SOON. BUT BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA, I DO JUST ASK BEFORE YOU DO YOUR DISCUSSION TO HAVE A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE LETTER, AND THAT WAY IT DOES FORMALLY BECOME PART OF THE PUBLIC RECORD AND SOMETHING THAT YOU ALL CAN DISCUSS TONIGHT.

SO SO REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU TONIGHT IS, THE RECEIVE AND FILE FOR THE LETTER AND THEN SOME SORT OF DIRECTION OR RECOMMENDATION THAT WE CAN FORWARD ON TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING BUDGET ITEMS AND MICHELLE AND I ARE HERE TO KIND OF HELP YOU WALK THROUGH BECAUSE IT IS A BIG TOPIC.

IT'S KIND OF SKY'S THE LIMIT. BUT WE REALLY WANT TO SEE IF YOU GUYS CAN HONE IN ON JUST A FEW THINGS THAT YOU THINK ARE CRITICAL FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER FOR THE BUDGET.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU AND IF AND AGAIN, IF YOU CAN JUST DO THE RECEIVE AND FILE FOR THE LETTER AND THEN WE CAN MOVE ON WITH THE DISCUSSION, THAT'D BE HELPFUL. OKAY. WE'LL START WITH THAT.

CAN I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. MOTION SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. GREAT. DID YOU GUYS GET A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE LETTER? IT WAS EMAILED TO US, LIKE, AN HOUR AGO. OKAY, PERFECT.

WE'LL START WITH THAT. WAS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS LETTER THAT YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP REGARDING BUDGETING AND THINGS WE CAN ALLOCATE? YEAH. I REALLY LIKE ITS USE OF BIKE LANES, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I HAVE HERE IN MY NOTES THAT WE SHOULD BUDGET FOR MORE BIKE LANES, SPECIFICALLY IN NORTH REDONDO AND LIKE ON STREETS LIKE RIPLEY AVENUE BECAUSE OF, LIKE ITS CONNECTION TO SOUTH REDONDO, WHICH CAN HELP STUDENTS GET TO RHS THAT MAY BE LIVING IN NORTH REDONDO ALSO, IT'S REALLY NEARBY WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND ADAMS, WHICH CAN HELP REDUCE TRAFFIC WHEN STUDENTS NEED TO GET TO SCHOOL.

ALSO, IT MAKES IT SAFER FOR BIKERS. SO YEAH, I THINK THAT REALLY GOES HAND IN HAND WITH THE SOUTH BAY FORWARD PROJECT.

ADDING ON TO THAT, I ALSO AGREE WITH THE WHOLE IDEA OF ADDING MORE BIKE LANES.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH POWER WE HAVE OVER THAT, BECAUSE BIKE LANES TAKE A LONG TIME KIND OF TO IMPLEMENT, ESPECIALLY ON A LARGE SCALE. BUT DEFINITELY SO MANY PEOPLE RIDE THEIR BIKES TO AND FROM SCHOOL, LIKE, ESPECIALLY E-BIKES, WHICH ARE EVEN MORE WHICH ARE KIND OF DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY CAN GO PRETTY FAST.

AND I DON'T REALLY THINK THAT I MIGHT BE WRONG, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE ARE ANY LIKE BIKE LANES THAT ARE RIGHT NEAR US AND I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE ONE AT LEAST. ON ONE OF THE STREETS THAT LEADS TO ROHS, THERE MIGHT BE ONE MAYBE LIKE ON PCH,

[00:15:07]

SO SORRY. SO TO ADD ON TO WHAT GRANT WAS SAYING EARLIER ABOUT THERE NEEDING TO BE MORE BIKE LANES IN NORTH REDONDO.

YOU CAN SEE ALONG DIAMOND AND I'M NOT SURE IF PCH HAS THEM, BUT THERE ARE LIKE VERY PROMINENT BIKE LANES ALONG DIAMOND AND I THINK THOSE WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED LIKE ALONG ARTESIA AND A WAY I BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN DO THAT IS IMPLEMENTING REFLECTIVE RODS THAT YOU CAN, LIKE, SEE ON THE HIGHWAY.

IT JUST HELPS IMPROVE VISIBILITY, LIKE AT NIGHT AND ALSO HELPS SEPARATE LIKE BIKERS WHO GO FAST, AS COMMISSIONER STEINBURG WAS SAYING FROM, LIKE, DRIVERS AND REDUCES RISK OF THEM GETTING HIT.

I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID WITH LIKE, THE DEFLECTING RODS BECAUSE SPECIFICALLY ALSO WITH LIKE THE NIGHT THING AND ALSO SOME STUDENTS MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT THE BIKE PATHS THAT THEY'VE LIKE BEEN CREATED AND BY SEEING THAT THEY MIGHT LIKE, KNOW THAT IT EXISTS NOW. I'D LIKE TO MENTION SOMETHING THAT STUCK OUT TO ME FROM THE LETTER.

IT WAS THE POSSIBILITY THAT WE'D ENROLL BCT INTO METRO GO PASS AND LIFE PROGRAMS, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE FREE TRANSIT TO K THROUGH 12 STUDENTS AND LOW INCOME RESIDENTS. I WAS I WANTED MORE INFORMATION BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING INTO IT AND TAP CARDS ARE USED ON BCT, BUT YOU CAN ALSO GET LIKE A FREE TAP CARD IF YOU ARE A K THROUGH 12 OR LOW INCOME.

SO I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS LIKE.

WHY NOT GET A TAP CARD AND USE THAT FOR BCT? SO IF WE COULD GET THAT QUESTION ANSWERED EVENTUALLY, YEAH, WE WOULD HAVE TO ASK OUR TRANSIT TEAM, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY FORWARD THAT ALONG TO THEM.

OKAY, GREAT AND THEN ALSO IMPROVING PUBLICITY AND COMMUNICATIONS TO ADVERTISE BCT FOR PEOPLE THROUGH REDONDO HERMOSA AND MANHATTAN AND EL SEGUNDO.

I THINK THAT'D BE GREAT. I'M JUST EXPRESSING MY SUPPORT FOR THAT.

I'LL LET THEM TAKE THAT. MAKE IT INTO SOMETHING.

BUT LIKE, THE THING FOR, LIKE, MAKING IT MORE WELL KNOWN.

I FEEL LIKE IF WE HAVE THE CHOICE TO DO, I DON'T THINK WE DO BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH. AT LEAST THE YOUTH COMMISSION DOESN'T HAVE THAT MUCH POWER OVER IT. BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT SHOULD BE LIKE WE SHOULD DEFINITELY PRIORITIZE THE THINGS LIKE OTHER THINGS, MORE LIKE THE MAKING SURE THE STOPS ARE LIKE ON TIME AND NOT LIKE EARLY OR LATE, AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH PEOPLE ABLE TO BE ON THE BUSSES BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE CANNOT WE CAN'T ADVERTISE THE LIKE BUSSES AND LIKE THE BCT UNTIL WE KIND OF LIKE, LIKE FIX EVERYTHING BECAUSE OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE, LIKE GOING LIKE THERE BEING TOO MANY PEOPLE ON LIKE, BUSSES SOMETIMES.

SO I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD IF WE WERE TO DO THAT, COULD WE DO THAT LIKE LATER? LIKE FOR LIKE THE ADVERTISING, THE BCT? SURE.

YEAH. OF COURSE. MISS [INAUDIBLE]. ACTUALLY, I HAD A QUESTION.

[INAUDIBLE] UNDER NUMBER TEN. 10A TO ADVANCE THE CONCEPT FOR THE 405 FREEWAY EXPRESS BUS.

WAIT. SO WHAT WOULD THAT IMPROVE? WOULD THAT IMPROVE LIKE THE METRO SYSTEM ON THE HIGHWAY OR ELABORATE ON THAT? YOU KNOW, I'M NOT TOO SURE BECAUSE THIS IS AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS LETTER.

I DO BELIEVE THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES HERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE HERE. OKAY. SO CHAIR, CHAIRPERSON FELDE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO, WE CAN OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT NOW AND THEY CAN TALK THROUGH THEIR LETTER A LITTLE BIT MORE IF THAT'S HELPFUL.

OR WE CAN FINISH THE DISCUSSION AND THEN DO PUBLIC COMMENT, WHATEVER.

I'D LIKE TO FINISH THE DISCUSSION AND THEN DO PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY. WE CAN DO THAT.

SO WE'LL SAVE THAT QUESTION. COMMISSIONER NGUYEN AND THEN WE'LL SEE IF THEY CAN ANSWER THAT FOR YOU.

ALSO WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FEEDBACK THAT BCT IS HOPING TO GET, I MEAN, THE COMMISSION IS PRETTY SMALL.

NOT ALL OF US USE THE BUS, BUT IS THERE A WAY THAT, LIKE FREQUENT BCT USERS, COULD GIVE THE LIKE SUBSECTION OF RESPONSES? AND I READ BCT EVERY DAY, SO I COULD PROBABLY GIVE YOU SOME UPDATES.

YEAH, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. IF YOU CAN DO THAT AND FEEL FREE AT ANY TIME TO SEND THOSE EMAILS, TEXT MESSAGES, WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU. I KNOW THAT OUR TRANSIT TEAM IS LOOKING AT DIFFERENT METHODS FOR GETTING INFORMATION OUT TO FOLKS.

CURRENTLY THEY JUST USE X AND SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT PLATFORMS. THEY WERE VERY EXCITED TO HEAR THAT. THE TEEN SURVEY DATA SHOWED THAT INSTAGRAM WAS POPULAR.

SO LOOKING INTO THAT AS A POSSIBILITY. SO I KNOW THAT THEY'RE DEFINITELY TRYING TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT METHODS AND WAYS OF GETTING INFORMATION OUT, WHICH ALSO WORKS. IT'S RECIPROCAL. THAT MEANS THEN PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO CONTACT THEM AS WELL.

SO SO I THINK THAT'S ALREADY BEING LOOKED AT.

OKAY. LOVE TO HEAR THAT. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENT YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO MAKE FROM THE LETTER WE RECEIVED TODAY?

[00:20:03]

SO LAST MEETING, I RECOMMENDED THAT WE ALL LOOK BACK AT THE TEEN SURVEY DATA AND THINK OF SOME THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE FUNDED AND POTENTIAL EVENTS OR AMENITIES.

SO IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO OUT AND SHARE THAT, AND I CAN ALSO JOT THESE DOWN IF MICHELLE AND KELLY AREN'T, WE CAN BOTH DO IT. BUT YEAH. NO, I'LL TAKE NOTES.

YEAH. I WOULD LIKE TO PERHAPS BUDGET THE EXPANSION OF THE REC PROGRAMS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY LIKE EXPANDING IT INTO THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT, LIKE, THEY NEED A PLACE TO GO AFTER SCHOOL BECAUSE, LIKE, MAYBE THEIR PARENTS ARE BUSY FOR WORK OR WHATEVER AND I MEAN, RIGHT NOW ALREADY AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THERE'S A WAIT LIST TO GET INTO REC, SO IT'S ALREADY CROWDED.

SO PERHAPS LIKE BUDGETING FOR MORE STAFF COULD HELP WITH THE OVERCROWDING OF THE REC PROGRAMS. SO WE CAN CERTAINLY INCLUDE THAT. THERE IS, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT LIMITATIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED WITH THAT OUR TEAM HAS CURRENTLY. WE ACTUALLY JUST RECENTLY DID REGISTRATION FOR NEXT YEAR'S.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE OKAY. SO THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM JUST DID REGISTRATION FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND OUR TEAM HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK THIS PAST YEAR TO HIRE SOME ADDITIONAL STAFF SO WE CAN ACCOMMODATE LARGER NUMBERS.

AND HAPPY TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO WAITLIST. CURRENTLY, EVERY CHILD THAT REGISTERED HAS A SPACE.

SO WE'RE HOPING THAT TRAJECTORY WILL CONTINUE AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO HIRE JUST TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH.

BUT I THINK OUR STAFF WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, BECAUSE LAST YEAR OUR COUNCIL DID ALLOCATE SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING SO WE COULD DO THAT.

SO THAT'S GOOD. I THINK WE'VE DEFINITELY MADE SOME PROGRESS WITH THAT ALREADY.

IS BUT THAT'S JUST FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

CORRECT? CORRECT. YES. YEAH. SO LIKE PERHAPS ADDING A REC PROGRAM OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO PARIS AND ADAMS COULD ALSO HELP. SO I WAS LOOKING BACK AT THE SURVEY AND THERE WERE THREE THINGS THAT STOOD OUT TO ME.

PRIMARILY ONE OF THEM WAS LIKE CLASSIC GAMES YOU'D FIND AT CENTERS SUCH AS, LIKE A BILLIARD TABLE, LIKE PLAYING POOL AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FUND THAT.

ANOTHER ONE WAS COOKING AND BAKING. I BELIEVE THAT FUNDING DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKING MATERIALS WOULD DEFINITELY BE BENEFICIAL FOR THE CENTER.

AND I SAW ANOTHER ONE ON THERE. IT WAS FIELD TRIPS.

I'M NOT SURE HOW WE WOULD OPERATE THOSE, BUT IF WE WERE TO DO A FIELD TRIPS POPULAR SPOT OR NOT, A POPULAR SPOT, A SPOT LIKE MY FAMILY ENJOYS GOING TO IS THE SOUTH BAY BOTANICAL GARDEN.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR A FIELD TRIP.

IT WOULD DEFINITELY YOU KNOW, GET A LOT OF TEENS INVOLVED AND COME TO THE CENTER.

I LIKE THE CONCEPT OF A FIELD TRIP, AND I THINK WE CAN REALLY BOOST REDONDO BUSINESS THAT WAY, TOO. I WAS TALKING TO MICHELLE ABOUT THIS MEETING, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE COULD DO, LIKE PARTNERSHIP EVENTS SO WE CAN GO TO CAFES, OR WE CAN HAVE EVENTS AT LIKE THE SEASIDE LAGOON AND HAVE LIKE A VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT.

MAYBE ALTA VISTA AND HAVE A PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT.

SO I THINK THAT COULD BE FUN. AND I LOVE THE IDEA THAT WE WON'T JUST HAVE ALL THE EVENTS AT THE TEEN CENTER.

IT'LL BE LIKE SATELLITE EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEAS, I THINK WE'LL TALK ABOUT PLANNING AT THE NEXT MEETING.

BUT REGARDING, LIKE, RESOURCES WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE THESE EVENTS.

THAT'S WHAT WE TALK ABOUT NOW. YEAH. IT'S SIMILAR TO THE THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

THEY HAVE FUNDRAISERS AND A COUPLE OF POPULAR ONES WERE WANNA CHILL AND THEN, LIKE, SOME BOBA PLACE.

I FORGOT THE NAME OF IT, BUT. YEAH. POINT OF INQUIRY.

YOU SAID WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THE PLANNING. NEXT MEETING.

IS THE NEXT MEETING IN MAY. THE LAST MEETING OF THE YEAR.

I'M JUST WONDERING. I THINK IT MIGHT BE. YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S EITHER MAY OR JUNE, I CAN'T REMEMBER.

OKAY. I WOULD HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK. I'M SORRY. THAT'S OKAY.

I'M JUST WONDERING. THANK YOU. SO MAYBE TO HELP, HELP LEAD THE CONVERSATION AND GIVE YOU GUYS SOME PERSPECTIVE.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE FUNDING FOR, WHAT, TWO PART TIME STAFF MEMBERS TO LEAD A PROGRAMING FOR TEENS.

ONE PART TIME STAFF MEMBER CAN WORK UP TO 1500 HOURS, AND THEN THE OTHER ONE CAN WORK UP TO 900 HOURS.

SO THE BUDGET FOR SPECIAL DEPARTMENT SUPPLIES FOR ANY KIND OF ANYTHING THAT WE PURCHASE FOR THE TEEN CENTER IS CURRENTLY AT $9,000.

WHICH DOESN'T GET US TOO FAR. IF WE'RE PLANNING TO OPEN AND GO TO FIELD TRIPS AND DO THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO GET OUT OF THE CONVERSATION TODAY IS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF LIKE A BROADER SENSE OF WHAT YOU THINK YOU WOULD ATTEND AND YOUR FRIENDS WOULD

[00:25:05]

AND THEN IF THEY WORK WELL, MAYBE WE CAN ASK FOR MORE FUNDING NEXT FISCAL YEAR AND TO ADD SOME MORE.

RIGHT. SO WE DON'T WANT TO START OFF SUPER BIG, BUT WE DO WANT TO THROW AROUND SOME IDEAS SO THAT I CAN PRICE POINT AND SEE HOW MUCH MONEY I NEED TO ASK FOR. ALSO, DO WE STILL HAVE FUNDING FOR TO FURNISH THE TEEN CENTER? YES WE DO. OKAY. WELL, WE HAVE SOME MONEY TO FURNISH.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL BE ABLE TO FULLY FURNISH, BUT WE WILL GET IT FURNISHED ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO OPEN.

OKAY. SO WE'RE HAVING THE EVENT THAT WE'LL KNOW AT THE END OF THE MEETING, BUT IT WILL BE CRUCIAL TO KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF WHAT FURNISHING WE WANT TO GET. RIGHT. SO IF IT'S A NICE BILLIARDS TABLE.

I'LL NEED TO DO SOME ACCOUNTING TO SEE HOW MUCH FUNDING WE TRULY HAVE LEFT VERSUS HOW MUCH WE NEED TO ASK FOR AND SO IF IT'S HELPFUL TONIGHT FOR THE CONVERSATION, IF YOU CAN JUST LET US KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE.

WE CAN THEN DRAFT THAT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL AND THEN WE CAN ADD STAFF NOTES THAT SAYS STAFF ESTIMATES THIS TO COST X NUMBER OF DOLLARS.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT COST TONIGHT UNLESS WE HAVE THE NUMBERS.

BUT SO IF THAT'S HELPFUL, WE JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR.

WELL, I KNOW THAT POOL TABLE IS REALLY FUN, BUT I THINK ANOTHER IDEA COULD BE LIKE SOME SORT OF ARCADE GAME, LIKE A PAC-MAN MACHINE OR SOMETHING. IT'S JUST LIKE ONE OF THOSE CLASSIC GAMES THAT, I MEAN, MOST PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO PLAY AND NOT EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY POOL.

LIKE, WE COULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE BOTH, BUT YOU CAN ALSO GET PAC-MAN MACHINES FOR PRETTY CHEAP, LIKE ONLINE OR LIKE USE MACHINES OR LIKE A PINBALL MACHINE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S AND IT WOULD ALSO KIND OF GIVE IT LIKE A RETRO SORT OF VIBE AND LIKE IN THE LETTER THAT THE YOUTH COMMISSION DRAFTED ABOUT THIRD SPACES, IT WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW THIRD SPACES WERE REALLY POPULAR, LIKE IN THE 80S AND STUFF LIKE THAT WITH LIKE ROLLER SKATING AND I JUST THINK THAT IF WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS A THIRD SPACE, WE COULD GIVE IT THAT KIND OF RETRO VIBE WITH ARCADE GAMES AND THAT WOULD BE COOL.

I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER A FOOSBALL TABLE, BECAUSE THAT'S ALSO LIKE POOL AND ARCADE GAMES.

BUT IT'S LIKE VERY SIMPLE. EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW TO PLAY THAT. I THINK SOUND EQUIPMENT WILL BE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE EVENTS WE WANT TO HOST.

I WAS THINKING YOU MENTIONED LIKE IT'S NOT JUST THE MAIN OPEN SPACE, THERE'S SOME SIDE ROOMS. SO I WAS THINKING LIKE A LISTENING ROOM, LIKE YOU CAN JUST SHARE YOUR FAVORITE SONGS WITH PEOPLE, AND IT'S LIKE THE SURROUND SOUND, LIKE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR DOLBY ATMOS, BUT LIKE SOMETHING SIMILAR AND JUST GOOD QUALITY SOUND EQUIPMENT. ALSO, IF WE WANT TO HAVE LIKE A BATTLE OF THE BANDS EVENT OR LIKE HOST SOME YOUTH BAND, LIKE WE WOULD NEED ADEQUATE EQUIPMENT FOR THAT.

THIS IS KIND OF GOING BACK TO LIKE THE IDEA OF EVENTS, BUT I THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE, LIKE, A BEACH EVENT, BECAUSE ALSO THAT WOULDN'T BE LIKE, IT WOULDN'T BE AS MUCH EXPENSIVE AS, LIKE, GOING TO LIKE OTHER PLACES BECAUSE THE BEACH IS FREE OR LIKE ALSO WE COULD HAVE LIKE A TALENT SHOW AT LIKE THE COMMUNITY CENTER BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WOULD ALSO NOT BE AS EXPENSIVE AS, LIKE GOING OUTSIDE. I THINK THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED BEFORE.

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LIKE ONE OF THE LIKE, SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS FOR THE TEEN CENTER SUBCOMMITTEE. BUT I THINK COLLABORATION WITH, LIKE, OTHER PLACES WOULD BE LIKE REALLY COOL.

LIKE, I REMEMBER I THINK THERE WAS AN IDEA LIKE BROUGHT UP ABOUT LIKE WORKING WITH MAYBE HELPING TO WORK WITH MAYBE YOUNGER KIDS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE TEEN CENTER, OR LIKE WORKING WITH LIKE A MORE LIKE A SENIOR CITIZENS WITH THE TEEN CENTER.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY COOL BECAUSE LIKE IT THEN THE WHOLE COMMUNITY WILL WORK TOGETHER AND WE COULD LIKE, INCORPORATE IT BETTER. I'D LIKE TO ADD WE SHOULD HAVE A WHITEBOARD IN THERE, ESPECIALLY IF WE WANT THIS TO BE A PLACE THAT PEOPLE CAN COME AND DO THEIR HOMEWORK.

IT'S JUST GOOD TO WRITE PROBLEMS ON, AND ALSO JUST A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO LIKE.

ADD TO. SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY POPULAR IN THE SURVEY RESULTS WAS GAMING EQUIPMENT AND LIKE A PS5.

SOMEONE SAID IF YOU HAVE A PS5, EVERYONE WILL GO.

SO I THINK SOME UP TO DATE VIDEO GAMING EQUIPMENT.

ALSO A 3D PRINTER THAT WAS POPULAR. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE SAME PERSON DOING MULTIPLE RESPONSES, BUT IF THAT'S IN THE BUDGET, THAT'D BE COOL. ALSO PANTRY STOCKING AND THEN LIKE A VENDING MACHINE.

[00:30:04]

SO YEAH. IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE IDEA OF 3D PRINTER, I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO HAVE A LOT OF 2D PRINTERS BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES LIKE BECAUSE ESPECIALLY LIKE YOU MENTIONED, LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE SOMETIMES PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK THERE AND SOME I KNOW SOME LIKE ASSIGNMENT REQUIRE HAVING TO PRINT THINGS OUT, BUT NOT EVERYBODY HAS LIKE A GOOD PRINTER.

SO I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD GET BOTH 3D AND 2D PRINTERS FOR THE TEEN CENTER, I THINK, OH, GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD. OKAY. SO I THINK IF WE WERE LIKE TO ADD ON TO LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH WE COULD HAVE LIKE A BULLETIN BOARD AT THE TEEN CENTER WHERE WE CAN POST, LIKE, FLIERS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND AN IDEA I HAD OBVIOUSLY HERE OVER THERE. RUSS, THEY OFFER MANY, LIKE, VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.

I THINK THIS BULLETIN BOARD AT THE TEEN CENTER COULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO POST, LIKE THEIR OPPORTUNITIES. AND, YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE, LIKE, I'M, LIKE, IN NEED OF, LIKE, VOLUNTEER SERVICE HOURS.

AND, YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS CONSTANTLY ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THEM. SO I THINK IT WOULD JUST BE VERY HELPFUL FOR SOME PEOPLE TO HAVE THESE OPPORTUNITIES POSTED AT THE TEEN CENTER.

SPEAKING OF MORE EVENTS, I THINK WORKSHOPS AT THE TEEN CENTER WOULD BE POPULAR.

SO IN ORDER TO FIND I DON'T THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME.

SO HIRING PEOPLE OR LIKE GETTING CONTRACTS WITH PEOPLE, LIKE ART CLASSES, DANCE CLASSES, THE COOKING CLASSES SEEMED VERY POPULAR.

SO EITHER GETTING CONTRACTS WITH INSTRUCTORS OR JUST MANAGING HOW WE'D PAY THEM TO RUN OUR WORKSHOPS.

TO GO ALONG WITH THAT, WE COULD HAVE STUDENTS AT VOLUNTEER.

WE COULD CONTRACT SOME TUTORS. ALSO TVS OR PROJECTOR? WELL, THIS IS KIND OF DIFFERENT, BUT MY FRIEND WAS SHE'S A PART OF THE SOUTH BAY FILM SOCIETY, AND THEY'D LOVE TO HAVE EVENTS THERE AT THE TEEN CENTER BECAUSE MOST OF THEIR DEMOGRAPHIC ARE LIKE 60 AND UP.

SO IF WE COULD HAVE, LIKE, A PROJECTOR AND HAVE, LIKE, A DESIGNATED, LIKE, INDIE FILM MOVIE NIGHT, I THINK THAT'D BE COOL. SO WE NEED FACILITIES FOR THAT? OF COURSE. EITHER PROJECTOR OR TV, BUT I THINK LIKE MAYBE A FEW, LIKE COMPUTERS OR MONITORS AT THE TEEN CENTER WOULD BE HELPFUL. JUST LIKE AT, LIKE THE LIBRARY WHERE PEOPLE CAN DO THEIR HOMEWORK OR, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE REGISTER AND THINGS LIKE THAT ON THE MONITOR.

I THINK WE WOULD NEED A FEW OF THOSE. YEAH, I REALLY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THIS AT THE NEXT MEETING, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S WORTH BRINGING UP. I JUST WANT TO ENVISION THE TEEN CENTER AS SOMETHING OTHER THAN ALCOVE OF NORTH REDONDO AND SOMETHING OTHER THAN AN EXTENSION OF THE LIBRARY. YOU KNOW, LIKE WHAT MAKES THE TEEN CENTER UNIQUE? AND WHAT DO WE OFFER THAT ISN'T OFFERED ANYWHERE ELSE? BECAUSE WE REALLY LIKE WE HAVE THE TORCH RIGHT NOW AND WE HAVE THE POWER TO INFLUENCE THAT.

SO I THINK WE SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT.

I THINK AN EVENT IDEA. I THINK SOMEONE SAID EARLIER ABOUT TALENT SHOWS.

I BELIEVE ONE KIND OF TALENT SHOW WE COULD DO IS LIKE A SENIOR CITIZEN TALENT SHOW WHERE WE INVITE, LIKE, SENIOR CITIZENS TO COME AND, LIKE, WATCH YOU KNOW, TEENS PERFORM THEIR ACTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

I THINK IT WOULD JUST BE A GREAT WAY TO, YOU KNOW GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, I GUESS.

AND ALSO LIKE YOU KNOW, GIVE TEENS EXPOSURE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THIS MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE BASIC, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO BUDGET FOR LIKE CHAIRS AND TABLES.

I THINK THAT'S IN. RIGHT. YEAH, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

OKAY. BUT IS IT LIKE COMMUNITY TABLE LIKE A LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE A CIRCLE WITH CHAIRS OR IS IT LIKE DESKS? NO, IT'S TABLES LIKE SIX FOOT TABLES AND CHAIRS SO WE CAN PUT THEM IN ANY CONFIGURATION.

YEAH. SO CURRENTLY IT IS REGULAR FOLDABLE TABLES AND CHAIRS.

HOWEVER, THE LAYOUT OF THE TEEN CENTER, THAT'S WHERE WE WANTED TO GET MORE FEEDBACK.

SO FOR THIS EVENT THAT WILL BE HOLDING THE OPEN HOUSE EVENT.

WE'LL BE TAPING DOWN WHAT WE THINK YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO SEE BASED ON THE SURVEY RESPONSES.

AND THEN THAT'S WHERE WE WANT TO GET LIKE YOU GUYS TO WALK THE SPACE AND BE LIKE, WELL, I COULD TRULY ENVISION THIS, RIGHT? LIKE, WE CAN HAVE A FOOSBALL TABLE HERE, THE VENDING MACHINE THERE.

SO WE'LL TAPE OFF THE FLOOR AND KIND OF DESIGN IT SO THAT YOU GUYS CAN ACTUALLY WALK THE SPACE AND HELP US DETERMINE WHERE WE PLACE THINGS.

RIGHT? BECAUSE, YEAH, I JUST I DON'T WANT LIKE THERE TO BE ALL THESE COOL, LIKE 3D PRINTERS AND ALL THIS COOL TECH AND THERE JUST TO BE LIKE FOLDABLE

[00:35:05]

AND IF NOT COUCHES, THEN I GUESS LIKE LIKE A BEANBAG CHAIR.

I THINK THEY'RE CALLED OR LIKE PILLOWS THAT YOU CAN PUT ON THE GROUND AND STUFF BECAUSE THOSE ARE LIKE FOLDABLE CHAIRS.

THE FACT THAT THEY'RE LIKE MOVABLE, RIGHT? BUT THEY'RE ALSO LIKE COOLER LOOKING AND MORE COMFORTABLE THAN FOLDABLE CHAIRS. SO I'D LIKE SOME ERGONOMIC SEATING.

OUR DESKS AT SCHOOL AREN'T TOO COMFORTABLE, SO IF WE HAD SOME, LIKE, ACTUAL COMFORTABLE CHAIRS AT THE CENTER, THAT'D BE GREAT. OKAY. ANOTHER IDEA I HAD WAS THE COMMUNITY GARDEN.

I THINK THAT WAS ALSO IN THE SURVEY RESULTS. BUT IF WE HAD FUNDING OR SOME SORT OF LIKE ALLOCATION FOR GARDENING TOOLS, SOIL, SEEDS, PALLETS, WE COULD DO LIKE A PALLET GARDEN.

THAT'S WHAT I HAD ENVISIONED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SOIL IS LIKE AT PERRY PARK, SO BUT THAT COULD BE COOL AND THEN SORRY, I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK YOU WITH THAT WAS THE IDEA TO HAVE A TEEN LIKE THE TEENS WERE MAINTAINING THE GARDEN? I WOULD THINK SO. AND THEN WE CAN HAVE LIKE A FARM TO TABLE SORT OF THING, AND THAT'D BE LIKE A CUTE LITTLE CULTIVATION MOMENT.

COMMUNITY BONDING. I MEAN, WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THAT'S GOING TO TAKE. BUT SOME STRAWBERRIES WON'T TAKE LONG.

OR LIKE CUCUMBERS OR SNAP PEAS. DO WE KNOW IF THE BARBECUE ON THE PATIO IS WORKING? I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE CONFIRMED IF IT'S WORKING OR NOT.

IT WAS ON OUR PUNCH LIST TO MAKE SURE, BUT WE DO HAVE.

THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO VERIFY. THE IDEA BEHIND THE GARDEN.

BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THAT PATIO AREA. WE COULD SET ASIDE SOME SPACE OUT THERE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND THAT HAS ME THINKING TOO, FOR THE, LIKE, SUMMER SOFT OPENING, BECAUSE WE LIKELY WON'T OPEN UNTIL NEXT SCHOOL YEAR IF WE HAD, LIKE A SUMMER BARBECUE AND LIKE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WITH THE OUTDOOR SPACE TO OUR CAPACITY COULD INCREASE AND WE CAN HAVE A FUN LITTLE SUMMER BASH.

YEAH. WE COULD DO LIKE A. OH, SORRY. WE COULD DO LIKE A BACK TO SCHOOL THING, LIKE INTRODUCING THE PLACE.

FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND THAT WAY IT'LL BE FRESH IN PEOPLE'S MINDS WHEN THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS.

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. EVEN. YEAH, EVEN, LIKE A SUMMER SENDOFF.

BUT WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO SAY? YEAH, I THINK ALSO, WE WERE PLANNING ON DOING, LIKE, A PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT AND HAVING, LIKE, SOME SNACKS, JUST LETTING PEOPLE WALK THROUGH. I THINK THIS GOES FOR LIKE PRETTY MUCH ALL THE EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT IN THE TEEN CENTER. BUT SPECIFICALLY THE GARDEN. I DIDN'T WANT TO THROW DOWN YOUR IDEA, BUT SOME TEENS.

I WOULDN'T SAY MYSELF, BUT MAYBE SOME OF MY FRIENDS ARE A LITTLE BIT ROWDY AND A LITTLE BIT.

SORRY. IRRESPONSIBLE. SO WE DEFINITELY NEED SOME KIND OF SUPERVISION OVER THE GARDEN BEFORE ANYONE TRIES TO, LIKE, GO AND MAINTAIN THE GARDEN THEMSELVES AND AGAIN, THIS GOES FOR ALL THE EQUIPMENT, BUT SPECIFICALLY THE GARDEN BECAUSE LIKE, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S OUT THERE IN THE OPEN. IT COULD BE EASILY MESSED UP, BUT JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT.

NOTED. ALSO, I KNOW WE WERE SAYING EARLIER THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE LIKE SEPARATE ROOMS. HOW MANY ROOMS ARE THERE IN THE? THERE IS NO SEPARATE ROOMS. IT'S ONE BIG SPACE. WE HAVE AN OUTDOOR PATIO AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE NEED YOU GUYS.

IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR YOU GUYS TO WALK THE SPACE TO KIND OF JUST WE WOULD SECTION IT OFF.

SO PEOPLE IN THE SURVEY NOTED THAT THEY'D LIKE A LOUNGY AREA, RIGHT.

SOMETHING THAT'S WELCOMING AND FUN. AND SO WE THOUGHT OF SECTIONING OFF A PORTION OF THE TEEN CENTER AND HAVING LIKE, A TV MOUNTED AND BEING ABLE TO DO LIKE, KIND OF LIKE A MORE LOUNGY SPACE AND THEN MAYBE LIKE A LITTLE READING NOOK IN THE CORNER AND THEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE WOULD PUT THE REST OF THE ITEMS, RIGHT. WHETHER IT'S LIKE [INAUDIBLE] TABLES, OR IF WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING WHERE WE HAVE WORKSTATIONS WHERE IT'S LIKE NICER HIGH TOP TABLES WITH COMFORTABLE CHAIRS. SO THAT'S KIND OF LIKE THE LAYOUT THAT WE WANT TO WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THE BIG OPEN SPACE.

SO THERE'S NOT SMALLER ROOMS THAT ARE SECTIONED OFF.

OKAY. YEAH. I THINK WE SHOULD DEFINITELY SEPARATE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAYBE GOING TO BE DOING WORK, LIKE SITTING AT DESKS FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE, LIKE WATCHING TV OR PLAYING FOOSBALL, FOR EXAMPLE.

SO MAYBE THOSE SHOULD BE ON OPPOSITE SIDES AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR PERRY PARK SENIOR CENTER, AND WE CAN UTILIZE THAT SPACE IF WE GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF TEENS ATTENDING ON A WEEKLY BASIS.

AND WE NEED LIKE A STUDY AREA, AND WE CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE NEED THAT SPACE, WE CAN ALSO UTILIZE THE SENIOR SPACE WHEN IT'S AVAILABLE IF NECESSARY. GOING BACK TO LIKE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT, SUPERVISION STUFF.

I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE LIKE GOOD SECURITY FOR THE TEEN CENTER, ESPECIALLY IF WE ARE ADDING A BUNCH OF STUFF LIKE PS5 AND ARCADE MACHINES.

THAT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE SOME PRETTY GOOD STUFF TO STEAL.

SO LIKE, MAKE SURE IT'S ALL SECURE SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO LIKE, WORRY ABOUT ANY LIKE, SAFETY CONCERNS.

[00:40:05]

AND PD WILL, IF WE FIND IT NECESSARY, CAN SET UP CAMERAS THERE IF WE REQUESTED.

I WOULD SUGGEST, LIKE, THE CAMERAS AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW MUCH ABOUT CAMERAS, BUT, LIKE, IF WE HAVE THE BUDGET, PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY ARE GOOD CAMERAS AND NOT THE ONES THAT ARE LIKE 144 PIXELS.

LIKE REALLY HARD TO SEE. I WAS THINKING ABOUT STUDY SPACES, AND I'M KIND OF TAKING INSPIRATION FROM THE EL SEGUNDO REC CENTER BECAUSE MY FRIENDS AND I, WE USED TO TAKE THE BCT TO EL SEGUNDO. SAY HI TO OUR FRIENDS IN EL SEGUNDO AND HANG OUT AT THE REC CENTER.

SO MY IDEA OF THE REC CENTER IS THIS TEEN CENTER IS REALLY BASED ON THIS EL SEGUNDO EXPERIENCE I HAD, AND THEY DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A QUIET SPACE INSIDE BECAUSE ESPECIALLY I'M LOOKING AT THE PICTURE OF THE TEEN CENTER RIGHT NOW, AND I JUST CAN TELL IT WOULD ECHO IF THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FURNITURE LIKE RUGS OR CARPETING, WHICH I'M ASSUMING WE PROBABLY WON'T HAVE MUCH OF, SO PERHAPS WE CAN HAVE. I'VE NEVER SEEN THE OUTSIDE OF IT, BUT MAYBE LIKE AN OUTDOOR KIND OF LIKE ZEN WALK THROUGH, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE A LITTLE FOUNTAIN. MAKE IT.

I MEAN, WE HAVE NICE WEATHER PRETTY MUCH YEAR ROUND, EXCEPT FOR THE RAIN. BUT WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT OUTDOOR SPACE AND THEN POSSIBLY BUILD A CANOPY LIKE AN OUTDOOR SEATING SITUATION.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LOUD THE PARK GETS. I'M EXCITED FOR THE OPEN HOUSE TO REALLY GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS, THIS SETTING, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD REALLY BANK ON THE OUTDOOR SECTION OF THE TEEN CENTER TOO.

BESIDES THE BARBECUE PATIO. LIKE A STUDY. QUIET REFLECTION ZONE.

SO THE TEEN CENTER IS LOCATED OFF OF GRANT. OKAY AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS ACTUALLY THE CORNER CROSS STREET.

OVER AND GRANT IS A PRETTY BUSY STREET. YOU DO GET A LOT OF NOISE.

IF WE DID SOME KIND OF OUTDOOR SPACING IT WOULD BE IN THE PATIO.

OKAY. WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH PUBLIC WORKS TO SEE HOW WE CAN MAYBE BLOCK OFF, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST A FENCED GATE.

IT DOES HAVE A WIND SCREEN, BUT YOU CAN SEE THROUGH.

SO HOW WE CAN MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE SECTIONED OFF.

AND SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR THAT SPACE TO BE BUILT OUT THAT WAY.

PERFECT. I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT AND THEN WE CAN HAVE, I DON'T KNOW, POSSIBLY LIKE NATIVE HABITATS.

THAT'S LIKE FOR LATER ON WHEN WE'RE REALLY DEVELOPING IT. BUT I'M A SUPER BIG ADVOCATE FOR NATIVE LANDSCAPES AND NATIVE PLANTS, SO I THINK IT'D BE COOL IF WE COULD HAVE THAT AT THE TEEN CENTER TOO. BUT THAT'S A LATER CONVERSATION.

OKAY. ALSO LIGHTING. I WAS THINKING FOR THE OPEN HOUSE, IT'D BE KIND OF AWKWARD IF IT WAS JUST, LIKE PLAIN OVERHEAD LIGHTING AND, LIKE, NO MUSIC OR ANYTHING, SO JUST COOL.

I DON'T KNOW. STROBE LIGHTS OR LIKE, A DISCO BALL.

SOME SORT OF LIGHTING THAT ISN'T JUST THE PLAIN FLUORESCENTS.

I REALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON LIGHTING. I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY, REALLY LIKE SOFT LIGHT.

AND THEY DON'T LIKE BIG OVERHEAD LIGHTING. ESPECIALLY IF IT'S FLUORESCENT, IT CAN KIND OF GIVE YOU A HEADACHE AND JUST MAKE THE WHOLE PLACE SEEM KIND OF COLD.

SO I FEEL LIKE IF WE WERE TRYING TO ADD TO THE ATMOSPHERE, LIGHTING WOULD HELP A LOT IF WE HAD MAYBE A COUPLE LAMPS OR MAYBE FAIRY LIGHTS.

YOU CAN GET THOSE FOR SUPER CHEAP ON AMAZON. AND THAT WOULD ADD A LOT TO THE ATMOSPHERE, I THINK.

I THINK WE SHOULD USE MORE AMBIENT LIGHTING LIKE, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE IN THE PLACES AS OPPOSED TO JUST LIKE THE GIANT LIGHTS, LIKE YOU GUYS SAID, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD REALLY ALSO HELP ADD TO LIKE THE LIKE WARM AND KIND OF LIKE SHE SAID, LIKE RETRO LIKE ESTHETIC OF THE TEEN CENTER THAT WE WOULD MAYBE BE GOING FOR BECAUSE AND ADDING ON TO LIKE WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT LIKE A RETRO.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD IDEA. I DON'T KNOW WHY I JUST BROUGHT IT UP NOW, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD IDEA BECAUSE, LIKE, I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE, WE'LL SEE THESE LIKE COLORFUL LANDSCAPES. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LIKE THEY THINK IT'S LIKE VERY NOSTALGIC.

SO I THINK IF WE COULD, LIKE, BRING THAT NOSTALGIA BACK AND MAKE IT ALL, LIKE, COLORFUL AND NICE.

I THINK THAT WOULD WORK OUT VERY WELL. I THINK THOSE ARE GREAT THINGS TO BRING UP AT THE OPEN HOUSE, LIKE, BECAUSE IF WE BRING A BUNCH OF KIDS THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE SPACE AND THEY'RE LIKE, AND WE ASK THEM, SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE HERE? THEY'RE JUST GOING TO BE LIKE BLANK MINDED. I PERSONALLY WOULD BE AT LEAST.

SO I THINK GIVING THEM IDEAS AND LIKE EVEN PRINTING PHOTOS AND POSTING THEM ON THE WALL, LIKE HELPING THEM ENVISION WOULD HELP.

BUT YES. OKAY JUST ONE MORE. I'M NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD ANY MORE IDEAS, BUT AN IDEA I HAD JUST SO, LIKE, THINGS GET, LIKE, LESS CHAOTIC AND MORE ORGANIZED, I WOULD SAY WE EVEN THOUGH IT'S AN OPEN SPACE I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF ROUGH SECTIONING TO SEPARATE PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO GO OUT THERE AND, LIKE, YOU KNOW, BE IN THERE TO HAVE FUN RATHER THAN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, GO IN THERE OR STUDY OR GO AND STUDY GROUPS OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S AN OPEN SPACE, BUT YOU KNOW, I JUST THINK IN ORDER TO BE A LITTLE MORE ORGANIZED, WE MIGHT HAVE TO SECTION IT OFF JUST A LITTLE BIT TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, NOTHING GETS TOO OUT OF HAND.

[00:45:07]

BASKETBALLS, VOLLEYBALLS, TENNIS RACKETS, PICKLEBALL.

THAT'S GOING TO BE BIG, I CAN ASSUME, BUT. I FEEL LIKE IF WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT, LIKE, THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE HAVING QUIET PLACE AND LIKE, LOUDER PLACE, I THINK, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN LIKE BECAUSE IT IS ONE OPEN ROOM. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S, LIKE, ROOM TO I DON'T THINK WE CAN HAVE BOTH QUIET AND LOUD.

I THINK MAYBE THERE COULD BE LIKE CERTAIN HOURS THAT ARE QUIET, HOURS IN CERTAIN HOURS THAT ARE LIKE MORE LIKE LOUDER HOURS SO THAT THERE IS BOTH.

AND BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IF YOU HAVE A QUIET SECTION, A LOUD SECTION SINCE ONE ROOM, YOU CAN STILL LIKE HEAR IT IF YOU'RE TRYING TO BE QUIET.

SO WE SHOULD HAVE LIKE THE HOURS TO SEPARATE IT.

I THINK WE CAN REALLY DISCUSS THAT AT THE NEXT MEETING. THAT'D BE GOOD.

I'LL SUGGEST THAT AS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR JUST, LIKE, IMAGINING WHAT THE TEEN CENTER WILL BE. BUT IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE REGARDING BUDGET? I KNOW WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE TEEN CENTER, BUT WE COULD TALK ABOUT THE PEER.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE GALLERIA IS REALLY ON OUR RADAR. BUT ANY IDEAS FOR I KNOW? ZIVA, YOU MENTIONED A LOT AT THE LAST MEETING ABOUT HOW YOU WISH THERE WAS, LIKE, WAS SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T COST MONEY AT THE PIER? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE OR WHAT THE CITY COULD PROVIDE? I DON'T REALLY KNOW TOO MUCH BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO ASK MORE THAN JUST, LIKE ONE PERSON. I GUESS SOMETHING THAT ISN'T THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING.

I FEEL BECAUSE WHEN I GO TO THE PIER AND I LIKE WHAT I JUST NOTICED IS LIKE, NORMALLY, BECAUSE SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, I'M IN MY JOURNALISM CLASS, WE GO TO THE PIER, BUT ALL WE DO IS REALLY JUST LIKE WE EAT FOOD. SO I FEEL LIKE THERE WILL BE COOL THINGS THAT WE CAN MAYBE DO THAT IS NOT JUST FREE FOOD.

I MEAN, WE ALL LOVE FREE FOOD, BUT LIKE JUST MAYBE STUFF THAT'S MORE LIKE ACTIVE, I GUESS WOULD JUST BE MY FIRST PLACE TO START.

I'M SORRY IF THAT'S, LIKE, VAGUE, BUT, LIKE, MORE ACTIVE, LIKE MORE LIKE ACTIVITY AND, LIKE, NOT JUST STUFF. OKAY AND THEN ANOTHER IDEA. JUST MAKING AN ASSUMPTION ABOUT OUR FUTURE DEMOGRAPHIC AT THE TEEN CENTER.

BIKE PARKING. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH BIKE PARKING THEY HAVE AT PERRY PARK, BUT I THINK IF WE HAD, LIKE A SECTION WITH AT LEAST TEN SPOTS FOR E-BIKES, THAT'D BE VERY HELPFUL.

GOING BACK TO THE PIER THING, WHAT IS SORT OF THE SCOPE THAT WHICH, LIKE, WE CAN LOOK AT ADDING STUFF TO THE PIER BECAUSE, I MEAN, WE CAN'T BUILD LIKE A WHOLE NEW ESTABLISHMENT OR SOMETHING, BUT HOW WOULD WE IMPLEMENT LIKE, DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES? WHO WOULD BE LEADING IT? WOULD IT BE LIKE VOLUNTEERS FROM THE YOUTH COMMISSION LEADING DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES? HOW WOULD THAT WORK? SO FOR THE PURPOSES OF TONIGHT'S DISCUSSION, IT'S REALLY JUST HOW YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL.

SO HOW WE WOULD WORD IT BASED ON THE DISCUSSION, UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGES SPECIFIC TO THAT, WE WOULD SAY SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF THE YOUTH COMMISSION REALLY SUPPORTS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE TEEN FOCUSED AND LOW COST AMENITIES AT THE PIER. AND THAT WAY, WHEN THE COUNCIL IS LOOKING AT LEASE AGREEMENTS AND WHAT WHAT TENANTS MIGHT BE COMING IN, THEY CAN AT LEAST KNOW THAT THE YOUTH. THIS IS THE DESIRES OF THE YOUTH COMMISSION. THERE'S REALLY NOTHING MORE THAT YOU CAN DO IN REGARDS TO THAT.

YEAH. WELL, IN THAT CASE FOR LIKE FUTURE RENOVATIONS OF THE PIER, I KNOW THE FUN FACTORY CLOSED AND LIKE, THE PIER HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE A HOT TOPIC FOR THE COUNCIL.

SO WHATEVER THEY IMPLEMENT, I MEAN, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT A SMOKE SHOP, I JUST.

I HOPE IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S CENTERED TO TEENS.

AND, LIKE, I MEAN, EVEN SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS THERE, THEY'RE NOT REALLY TEEN FRIENDLY.

THEY'RE EITHER LIKE A HIGH. WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS ARE QUESTIONABLE, BUT LIKE THE HOT DOG ON A STICK, THEY CLOSE.

SO HOW ELSE ARE WE GOING TO GET $6 CORN DOGS? YOU KNOW, LIKE WE NEED MORE ACCESSIBLE, CONVENIENT, APPROACHABLE BUSINESSES ON THE PIER.

SO EVEN I MEAN, IT'S PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT COSTS NO MONEY THESE DAYS, BUT AT LEAST LITTLE MONEY.

NOT SAYING I WANT ANOTHER HOT DOG ON A STICK, BUT SOMETHING SIMILAR.

YEAH, I NOTICED THERE'S DEFINITELY A LOT OF CLOSING OF RESTAURANTS AND A LOT OF THE RESTAURANTS THAT REPLACED THEM ARE KIND OF MORE HIGH END OR GEARED TOWARD TO ADULTS OR ARE BARS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHICH IS REALLY NOT FOR TEENS.

SO YEAH, I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CLOSINGS RECENTLY WITH COVID AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.

I MEAN, MAYBE WE COULD JUST LIKE ESTABLISH A HOT DOG STAND OR SOMETHING, LIKE SOMETHING SMALL, SOME SORT OF LIKE POP UP POP UP SHOP. MAYBE THAT WOULD BE GOOD.

I THINK JUST TO ADD ON TO YOUR IDEA OF, LIKE, POP UP THINGS DEFINITELY LIKE I, WOULDN'T SAY FOOD TRUCKS,

[00:50:09]

I THINK THE COUNCIL SHOULD CONSIDER YOU KNOW, MAKING THIS OR LETTING THEM HAVE PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENTS ON THE PIER.

OKAY. MICHELLE, ARE WE LACKING ON ANYTHING OR IN ANYTHING REGARDING THE BUDGET? LIKE, IS THERE ANYTHING WE COULD DISCUSS MORE? I GUESS I'D BE INTERESTED TO SEE IF YOU GUYS WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING POP UP EVENTS.

ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT I CAME ACROSS WHEN I WAS IN, I WENT TO AMSTERDAM THIS LAST SUMMER.

I WAS TELLING RENA WAS THEY DO THESE DISCONNECTED CAFES WHERE THEY, LIKE THEY CAN DO, LIKE AT A HISTORIC LIBRARY OR THEY PARTNER WITH DIFFERENT COFFEE HOUSES, OR ACTUALLY DO IT AT COMMUNITY CENTERS WHERE THEY INVITE PEOPLE.

IT'S LIKE ALL PROMOTED VIA SOCIAL MEDIA. AND THEN WHEN YOU SHOW UP, YOU CHECK YOUR PHONE IN AND YOU CAN BRING BOOKS, PUZZLES, COLORING BOOKS. PEOPLE PAINT. IT'S VERY LIKE CAFE DRIVEN.

SO LIKE, IF YOU GUYS WANTED TO DO AN EVENT LIKE THAT WHERE WE INVITED, LIKE A COFFEE HOUSE TO COME AND DO, LIKE, TEAS AND COFFEES, AND IT WOULD JUST KIND OF BE LIKE A LOUNGEY SPACE FOR LIKE THREE HOURS.

THOSE ARE SORT OF EVENTS THAT WE CAN HELP EXECUTE THROUGH THE TEEN CENTER AND CAN ACTUALLY CREATE THOSE EXPERIENCES.

AND I KNOW IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE WATERFRONT WILL BE A VERY DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING CONVERSATION TO SAY, LIKE, HEY, COUNCIL, WE WANT THIS SORT OF BUSINESS FOR US, BUT MAYBE BUILDING AN EXPERIENCE.

SO LIKE YOU GUYS MENTIONED FIELD TRIPS, MAYBE ONE OF THEM IS DOING LIKE A PADDLE BOARD SESSION AND WE WORK WITH THE LOCAL SHOP THERE OFF OF THE PIER AND WE SAY, HEY, IF YOU WRITE, YOU INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND TRY TO GET LIKE A DISCOUNTED RATE SO THAT WE HAVE LIKE A PADDLE PADDLE BOARD SESSION OUT IN THE HARBOR. JUST KIND OF WORKSHOP SOME OF THOSE IDEAS SO THAT WE CAN AGAIN, TRY TO SEE WHAT THE QUOTE WOULD BE AND HOW MUCH WE WOULD POTENTIALLY SPEND ON THE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS ARE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN.

YEAH, WELL, I WOULD PARTICIPATE IN THAT. BUT ARE YOU THINKING LIKE, WHAT SPECIFICALLY ARE YOU THINKING OF, LIKE, OR ARE YOU ASKING US TO THINK OF IDEAS FOR CAFES THAT WE WOULD WANT TO HOST AT OR LIKE PARTNER WITH? WELL, WE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE A INTERESTED IN THAT AND B, WHAT ARE SOME LOCATIONS THAT YOU GUYS THINK WOULD BE COOL? OR DO WE TRY TO DO THESE POP UPS AT LOCATIONS THAT THE CITY ALREADY OWNS SO THAT IT'S EASIER, RIGHT. IF IT'S A FACILITY THAT SOMEONE ON MY TEAM MANAGES, IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO, LIKE, RESERVE THE SPACE AND SAY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A TEEN EVENT AT THIS LOCATION.

I THINK JUST FOR SIMPLICITY PURPOSES, WE SHOULD DO SPACES THAT THE CITY ALREADY OWNS.

I THINK STARTING OFF, WE COULD ESPECIALLY BRING THEM TO THE TEEN CENTER JUST TO GAIN MORE TRACTION.

YEAH, I WAS GOOD. OH, SORRY. I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT'S LIKE, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE LIKE THE POP UP THINGS.

AND ALSO LIKE SHE SAID, WE SHOULD ALSO WE SHOULD DEFINITELY GO FOR IF WE'RE TO PUT THEM, LIKE, PLACES THAT NEED MORE TRACTION, LIKE THE TEEN CENTER.

I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT. YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA AND I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THAT TOO.

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO ASK BUSINESSES TO REACH OUT TO US AND, LIKE, REQUEST THAT WE PARTNER WITH THEM? LIKE, I DON'T CERTAINLY. I MEAN, WE CAN DO THAT AND IN MANY CASES, IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THAT PARTNERSHIP THAT'S GENERATED FROM YOU ALL KIND OF CONNECTING STAFF WITH WHOEVER YOU WOULD LIKE.

SO THERE'S DIFFERENT METHODS FOR DOING THAT, BUT THAT COULD BE ONE OF THEM.

YES. OKAY. SO THAT'S WHERE WHEN WE HAVE THE YOUTH COMMISSION, LET'S SAY NEXT YEAR WE HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE FOR TEEN EVENTS OR PROGRAMING.

WE WOULD REALLY NEED THAT SUPPORT FROM THAT SUBCOMMITTEE TO WORK WITH THE STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE ALLOCATED TO TEEN, THE TEEN CENTER, SO THAT THEY CAN THOSE STAFF MEMBERS CAN THEN HELP EXECUTE THE EVENTS THAT YOU GUYS WANT TO HOST AT THE TEEN CENTER OR AROUND THE CITY.

GOT IT. OKAY. SO FOR NOW, COULD WE JUST BRAINSTORM WHERE WE WOULD WANT TO HOST? OKAY. YOU MENTIONED SEASIDE LAGOON. I THINK THAT COULD BE FUN.

OR EVEN SOMEWHERE ALONG, LIKE, RAT BEACH. I THINK RAT IS, LIKE, TECHNICALLY TORRANCE, BUT LIKE REDONDO BEACH SOMEWHERE.

JUST LIKE IT COULD BE A PICKUP. VOLLEYBALL OR COMPETITIVE, I DON'T I FEEL LIKE HAVING BOTH OPTIONS WOULD BE FUN,

[00:55:01]

I THINK YOU COULD EVEN USE THEM FOR PICKLEBALL, BUT DEFINITELY THE BEACH.

I LIKE ALTA VISTA, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PICKLEBALL IDEA.

CAN YOU TELL I LIKE PICKLEBALL? BUT ALTA VISTA WOULD WORK GREAT, I THINK.

AMPLE COURT SPACE. I THINK VETERANS PARK WOULD ALSO BE A GOOD SPOT.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT FOR SPORTS, BUT JUST FOR, LIKE, MAYBE LIKE A FOOD TRUCK OR SOME FOOD EVENT, LIKE A PICNIC OF SOME SORT. I THINK ANDERSON PARK WOULD BE A GREAT SPOT FOR THAT TOO, BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE WHAT'S IT CALLED? THE ANDERSON PARK SENIOR CENTER. AND THERE'S A PARKING LOT WHERE I'M NOT SURE IF ANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW THIS, BUT A ICE CREAM TRUCK PULLS UP, LIKE, PRETTY MUCH EVERY SINGLE DAY.

OBVIOUSLY A GREAT SPOT TO, I DON'T KNOW, HAVE A PICNIC.

THE COFFEES STORES COULD COME THERE. I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WOULD GO, BUT BECAUSE IT'S AN OPEN SPACE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY FOOD TRUCKS WOULD BE A GREAT OPTION AT ANDERSON PARK.

ALSO ABOUT THE COFFEE HOUSES. THE BOY IN THE BEAR COFFEE HOUSE.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S A COFFEE HOUSE IS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM HERE, SO THAT'S AN OPTION.

AND IT'S LOCAL. IT'S NOT LIKE A MAJOR CORPORATION LIKE STARBUCKS OR SOMETHING.

SO THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD HAVE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE COFFEE HOUSE EVENTS.

I THINK I HAD A FRIEND WHO HOSTED, LIKE, A GALENTINE'S, AND WE MADE HEART SHAPED PIZZAS, BUT SHE HAD THIS LIKE, WOOD OR WOOD FIRED OVEN OR SOMETHING. SO I KNOW LOCALE 90, I THINK THEY CATER AND SO THEY BRING THEIR OVEN.

IT'S LIKE A PORTABLE OVEN TO WHEREVER YOU WANT YOUR PARTY AND SO IF WE BROUGHT THEM TO THE TEEN CENTER, I THINK THAT COULD BE COOL, HAVING A BRAND NAME. BUT THEN ALSO, LIKE ADVERTISING THIS FUND, LIKE, CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN PIZZA. I THINK THAT COULD BE A COOL MATCH UP.

YEAH. SO I THINK WE HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF THE TYPES OF EVENTS THAT YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO DO, AND WE CAN TRY TO GENERATE A GENERAL NUMBER TO SHARE WITH THE COUNCIL FOR NEXT YEAR.

WE HAVE A PRETTY EXTENSIVE LIST OF AMENITIES AND THINGS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE AT THE TEEN CENTER.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO GO OUT TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE COULD JUST WE CAN SEE IF WE CAN WRAP THIS UP INTO JUST ONE GENERAL KIND OF MOTION, AND I CAN HELP YOU WALK THROUGH IT.

IT SOUNDS WORSE THAN I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE.

BUT IF WE CAN GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT, I'D LIKE TO JUST MAKE SURE WE DON'T MISS THAT.

DO WE NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR THAT OR.

NO, WE CAN JUST OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT.

AND I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE TWO SPEAKERS WITH THEIR CARDS.

THANK YOU FOR WAITING PATIENTLY. MICHAEL LEE CHANG.

OKAY. HELLO, COMMISSIONERS. LONG TIME NO SEE.

CHAIR FELDE. MY NAME IS MICHAEL LEE CHANG. I'M A 21 YEAR OLD COLLEGE STUDENT IN THE DISTRICT TWO RESIDENT.

I ALSO GRADUATED FROM REDONDO UNION IN 2022 AND HAD THE HONOR OF SERVING ON THIS YOUTH COMMISSION A FEW YEARS AGO.

AND FOR THE PAST HOUR, I MEAN, THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST I SHOULDN'T SAY MOST, BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLY PROFESSIONAL COMMISSION AND AT TIMES EVEN MORE PROFESSIONAL THAN CITY COUNCIL, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

BUT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL, I'VE STAYED INVOLVED IN YOUTH ORGANIZING AND ADVOCACY AT RUHS, I LED A WALKOUT DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC, ADVOCATING FOR OUR PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY. AND NOW I WORK FOR A LABOR UNION.

BUT TODAY I'M HERE WITH A GROUP CALLED SOUTH BAY FORWARD, WHERE A VOLUNTEER LED TEAM OF RESIDENTS FROM CITIES ACROSS THE SOUTH BAY, INCLUDING REDONDO BEACH, WHO CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY AND OUR REGION.

WE FOCUS ON THINGS LIKE HOUSING, PUBLIC TRANSIT, AND SAFE STREETS.

I READ YOUR LETTER TO THE CITY COUNCIL, AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT IT WAS POWERFUL, THE WAY YOU TALKED ABOUT THIRD PLACES, SPACES WHERE TEENS CAN JUST EXIST, CONNECT AND FEEL SAFE.

I THINK YOU NAILED IT. I STILL REMEMBER HOW HARD IT WAS TO GET AROUND WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE A CAR, HOW LIMITED THE OPTIONS WERE FOR AFFORDABLE HANGOUTS, HOW EASY IT WAS TO FEEL ISOLATED.

AND I KNOW SO MANY TEENS TODAY ARE STILL DEALING WITH THAT OR WORSE.

DURING MY YEARS AT PARIS MIDDLE SCHOOL AND RUHS, WE LOST FIVE OF OUR CLASSMATES.

IT WAS A LOT OF HEARTBREAK FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AND IT REMINDED ME OF HOW IMPORTANT CONNECTION AND BELONGING REALLY ARE.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SUPPORT YOUR ASKS LIKE MORE AFTER SCHOOL BCT BUSSES, ART PROGRAMING AND TEEN CENTER FUNDING.

THESE ARE SMART, DOABLE AND DEEPLY IMPORTANT STEPS, AND THEY LINE UP PERFECTLY WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING AND WORKING ON TWO.

WE RECENTLY SHARED OUR OWN BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS WITH THE CITY, AND WE'D LOVE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER SUPPORTING THEM OR ANY PARTS THAT RESONATE WITH YOUR

[01:00:06]

I JUST WANTED TO OFFER OUR SUPPORT AND SAY WE'D LOVE TO COLLABORATE WHEREVER IT MAKES SENSE.

WHAT YOU'RE DOING REALLY MATTERS NOT JUST FOR NOW, BUT THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT WORK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE HAVE DEVIN HOLLYWOOD.

THANK YOU. HI. MY NAME IS DEVIN HOLLYWOOD AND I LIVE HERE IN REDONDO BEACH IN DISTRICT THREE.

MY BACKGROUND IS IN ASTROPHYSICS AND I NOW AM WORKING AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER IN PLAYA VISTA.

LIKE MICHAEL, I READ THE LETTER THAT YOU GUYS WROTE TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND I THOUGHT IT WAS INCREDIBLY INSPIRING.

I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL VISION FOR WHAT REDONDO BEACH COULD BE. IT'S AMAZING TO HEAR YOUNG PEOPLE IN REDONDO GETTING INVOLVED IN ADVOCATING FOR A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE AND INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. ALSO, JUST SEEING THIS COMMISSION TONIGHT HAS BEEN SO COOL.

THIS IS REALLY, REALLY AWESOME. ANYWAYS PUBLIC TRANSIT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM.

AND PERSONALLY, MOST OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES FROM WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER WERE JUST HANGING OUT IN THIRD PLACES.

I THINK THAT EVERY GENERATION SHOULD GET TO EXPERIENCE THE JOY THAT COMES FROM HAVING ACCESS TO THESE SERVICES AND THESE PLACES. AND ALSO, LIKE MICHAEL, I'M HERE WITH SOUTH BAY FORWARD. WHICH I GOT INVOLVED WITH AFTER I ATTENDED ASSEMBLYMEMBER [INAUDIBLE].

TOWN HALL A FEW WEEKS AGO. WHEN I HEARD PEOPLE AT THE TOWN HALL DISCUSSING E-BIKES, IT REALLY STRUCK ME HOW PROTECTED BIKE LANES WOULD JUST SOLVE SO MANY OF THE ISSUES AROUND BIKES AND E-BIKES. IT WOULD KEEP THE BICYCLISTS SAFE, AND IT WOULD MAKE IT ALSO LESS STRESSFUL FOR DRIVERS TO DRIVE AROUND.

BIKES AND E-BIKES AND FOR PEDESTRIANS TOO, TO KEEP THEM, YOU KNOW.

YEAH. SO REDONDO BEACH NEEDS BIKES OR NEEDS STREETS THAT ARE SAFE AND PLEASANT FOR EVERYONE.

AND ESPECIALLY FOR OUR YOUTH, MANY OF WHOM RIDE BIKES TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY.

BIKE LANES ARE COMPARATIVELY CHEAP INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAN BE VERY QUICK TO INSTALL.

THERE'S ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF DOING COMMUNITY QUICK BUILDS WHERE THE CITY WORKS WITH VOLUNTEER GROUPS TO AND THE VOLUNTEER GROUPS PUT UP THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND PAINT THE LANES AND STUFF.

TO THIS END, SOUTH BAY FORD IS WORKING ON A CAMPAIGN TO PUT CLASS FOUR PROTECTED BIKE LANES ALONG THE LENGTH OF PROSPECT AVENUE.

I LIVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM THAT STREET, ACTUALLY, ON THE SOUTH PART OF RIPLEY, WHICH YOU MENTIONED AND THIS WOULD BE TRANSFORMATIVE FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, FOR RESIDENTS OF ALL AGES. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE PEOPLE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR CARS AND ENJOY A NICE, SUNNY BIKE RIDE ALONG THE BEAUTIFUL STREET. TONIGHT, I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER SIGNING ON TO OUR PROSPECT AVENUE COMMUNITY PROPOSAL, BOTH AS INDIVIDUAL COMMISSIONERS AND AS A BODY.

I ALSO ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER INCLUDING A REQUEST FOR THE PROSPECT AVENUE MOBILITY STUDY IN YOUR BUDGET INPUT LETTER TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

SOUTH BAY FORWARD ALSO DOES WORK ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING. DESPITE BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVING JOBS THAT PAY WELL.

WE HAVE STRUGGLED TO AFFORD A HOME IN THE CITY WHERE SHE GREW UP. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO YOUNG PEOPLE THAT HOUSING HAS BECOME SO EXPENSIVE, AND MANY OF THEM WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE THEY GREW UP. 756 STUDENTS GRADUATED FROM REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL IN 2024, BUT THE CITY ONLY ADDED 15 NEW HOUSING UNITS.

THERE'S REALLY NOTHING LIKE HAVING A COMMUNITY OF FRIENDS IN YOUR HOMETOWN AFTER COLLEGE, BUT THESE NUMBERS MEAN THAT MOST REDONDO STUDENTS WILL BE UNABLE TO RETURN TO THEIR COMMUNITY AFTER COLLEGE TO LIVE AND WORK. SO PLEASE CONSIDER WORKING WITH SOUTH BAY FORWARD ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL AND FOR THE OTHER STUFF WE TALKED ABOUT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY.

CAN WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM? A SECOND? WELL, WE DO NEED TO DO A MOTION FOR THIS. AND SO JUST TO TRY AND ENCAPSULATE IT I WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND AND YOU GUYS CAN DO HOWEVER YOU FEEL IT BEST.

I WILL BRIEFLY KIND OF GO OVER THE GENERAL THEMES AND CONCEPTS AND ITEMS THAT YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT, AND IF THERE'S ANY OBJECTION TO ANY OF THEM, THEN WE CAN EITHER PULL THOSE TO DISCUSS THEM OR WE CAN JUST DECIDE TO JUST VOTE AND SEE IF THERE'S A MAJORITY. SO IF THAT WORKS, UNLESS SOMEONE WANTS TO TRY AND MAKE A MOTION ON THEIR OWN.

OKAY. YEAH, THIS IS A BIG ONE. SO I'M JUST GOING TO BRIEFLY, LIKE I SAID, GO THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT WAS DISCUSSED.

AND THEN YOU LET ME KNOW IF I MISSED ANYTHING OR, MISSPOKE, BUT THERE WAS SUPPORT FOR AN EXPANSION OF AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR THE JUNIOR HIGHS. CONSIDER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMMUNITY GARDEN FOR TEENS, POSSIBLY AT THE TEEN CENTER AND THE PATIO AREA.

[01:05:05]

AND THEN FOR THE TEEN CENTER, WE HAVE AMENITIES.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE FULL LIST. IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY EXTENSIVE, BUT IT INCLUDES ITEMS AT THE TEEN CENTER ITSELF FOR FURNISHINGS AS WELL AS PLAY AMENITIES, POOL TABLES, FOOSBALL TABLES, ALL OF THAT GAMING EQUIPMENT.

AND A LARGE MAJORITY OF EVENTS. IDEAS AND CONCEPTS THAT YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO DO.

AND SO THAT WHAT WE WILL DO AS A STAFF IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION TO ANY OF THOSE FROM ANYONE.

IF YOU ALL ARE IN AGREEANCE THAT THESE ARE REALLY THE THINGS YOU WANT THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER FUNDING, WE WILL AS STAFF, THEN GO BACK AND TRY TO PLACE SOME COST ESTIMATES WITH THEM, AND THEN WE WILL FORWARD THAT ON TO CITY COUNCIL.

SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO SAY SO MOVED, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AS THE MOTION AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN VOTE ON ALL OF THOSE ITEMS THAT I JUST TRIED TO PARAPHRASE FOR YOU.

SO MOVED BEFORE WE MOVE ON. SORRY, WE WERE MISSING ONE PUBLIC SPEAKER ON ZOOM.

GIVE ME ONE SECOND. HI. THANK YOU SO MUCH. GOOD EVENING, YOUTH COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS BRIANNA EGAN, AND I FOUNDED AND LEAD SOUTH BAY FORWARD.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR READING OUR LETTER AND CONSIDERING OUR ITEMS. SO I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. I'M ALSO A GRADUATE OF REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL, CLASS OF 2012.

12, AND I'M CURRENTLY A THIRD YEAR MEDICAL STUDENT, AND I'M PLANNING TO BECOME A PUBLIC HEALTH PHYSICIAN.

ACTUALLY, A FEW YEARS AGO I FOUNDED THE REDONDO BEACH COMMUNITY GARDEN WHICH IS NOW AT ALTA VISTA PARK, AND WORKED WITH VOLUNTEERS IN THE CITY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING INCREDIBLE YOUTH LEADERS AND FOR THE PASSION YOU'VE BROUGHT TO THIS COMMISSION.

I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO AMAZING THINGS IN YOUR FOUNDATION HERE IS REALLY JUST THE START AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ENGAGING REALLY PRODUCTIVELY IN THIS CONVERSATION.

I THINK THE CITY COUNCIL IS LISTENING TO YOU AND WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU AND SO IN ADDITION TO THE IDEAS THAT MICHAEL AND DEVIN SHARED AND OUR LETTER I JUST WANT TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ON THE AREAS OF HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND TRANSIT AND I'M ALSO AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

SO WITH REGARDS TO HOUSING AFFORDABILITY WE ARE EXPERIENCING A HOUSING CRISIS IN THE SOUTH BAY AND IN REDONDO BEACH.

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, THE CITY IS AN AMAZING PLACE TO GROW UP.

BACK IN THE 80S, THE CITY WAS CONSIDERED A RELATIVELY AFFORDABLE BEACH CITY.

BUT FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES, IT HASN'T BUILT NEARLY ENOUGH HOUSING TO KEEP COSTS RELATIVELY AFFORDABLE.

FOR MOST OF THE FRIENDS WHO I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH.

IF THEY CHOSE TO RETURN TO REDONDO BEACH AFTER COLLEGE TO LIVE AND WORK.

WE OFTEN ENDED UP LIVING AT HOME WITH OUR PARENTS.

DUE TO THE SHEER COST OF HOUSING. AND FRIENDS OF MINE WHO ARE MARRIED AND WHO HAVE FULL TIME JOBS IN ENGINEERING OR HEALTH-CARE CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A HOME IN THE SOUTH BAY.

SO I WANT TO ASK YOU ALL TO CONSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS.

I KNOW THIS MAY FEEL YOU KNOW, IN ADDITION TO SO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE TALKED TO DATE ABOUT TODAY.

BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CITY EXPAND ITS TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING OPTIONS.

TO INCENTIVIZE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE REDONDO BEACH TRANSIT CENTER AND STATION.

AND TO IMPLEMENT RENTER PROTECTIONS AND TRANSPARENCY WITH THE RENTAL REGISTRY AND OVERALL TO MEET ITS HOUSING GOALS BY APPROVING MORE MULTIFAMILY, MIXED INCOME AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACROSS THE CITY.

AND THEN REGARDING OUR TRANSIT AND MOBILITY RECOMMENDATIONS REALLY, REALLY SUPPORT YOU ALL MAKING A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CITY WORKS WITH BCT, BUSD AND METRO TO ENROLL IN METRO GO PASS. AND SO THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT CITIES AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE TO ENROLL IN.

AND WE'RE NOT YET ENROLLED. SO IT ESSENTIALLY PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH A SPECIAL TAP CARD FROM THEIR SCHOOL THAT MAKES METRO AND LOCAL TRANSIT RIGHTS FREE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE THE CITY FUND SERVICE FREQUENCIES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO BCT LINES 102 AND 109.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THAT. AND THEN TO REITERATE, DEVIN, WE'RE HOPING YOU CAN RECOMMEND A BUDGET ITEM FOR THE COUNCIL TO FUND A STUDY FOR PROTECTED BIKE LANES ON PROSPECT AVENUE. THIS WOULD CONNECT 11 SCHOOLS, INCLUDING RUHS PARIS AND TWO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

SO AGAIN, HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OR PROVIDE CLARIFICATION.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION. OKAY. SO I MENTIONED THIS EARLIER IN THE MEETING, BUT GETTING A TAP CARD IS FREE.

[01:10:03]

SO WHAT'S THE BENEFIT OF ENROLLING IN IN GO. WHAT WAS IT CALLED? GO. PASS. YEAH. SO THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW PROGRAM THAT METRO STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO TO PROVIDE K THROUGH 12 STUDENTS WITH FREE TRANSIT. IF YOU LOOK ON THE METRO WEBSITE FOR GO PASS IT LISTS ALL OF THE AGENCIES THAT ARE IN ENROLLED INTO GO PASS AND, YOU KNOW, TORRANCE TRANSIT. THE BIG BLUE BUS CULVER CITY ARE ENROLLED IN GO PASS, BUT BEACH CITIES TRANSIT IS NOT. AND SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS AND ALSO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

SO OUR BISD LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE NOT ENROLLED.

SO THAT MEANS THAT OUR STUDENTS CANNOT ACCESS THE GO PASS PROGRAM.

SO WE NEED TO WE'RE ADVOCATING TO THE CITY AND TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO GO AHEAD AND ENROLL TO GIVE STUDENTS THE GO PASS, HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY.

WAIT. OH. I'M SORRY. DID YOU. SORRY. YEAH, I ACTUALLY DID HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.

SO FOR THE BCT SO I WOULD CONSIDER MYSELF A FREQUENT, FREQUENT USER OF THE 102 LINE, THE GREEN LINE, THE EXPRESS BUS SPECIFICALLY AND CURRENTLY, I BELIEVE THERE'S ONLY ONE OF THEM GOING AND I HAVE NORMALLY BASKETBALL PRACTICES THAT GO RIGHT UP UNTIL THE BELL.

AND AS YOU MAY KNOW, IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SCHOOL, SO IT'S KIND OF A HASSLE.

YEAH. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A HASSLE FOR ME TO RUN ACROSS THE SCHOOL AND GET TO THE EXPRESS BUS BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ONE OF THEM.

SO PERHAPS MAYBE YOU GUYS COULD FUND ANOTHER EXPRESS BUS OR MAYBE OPERATE ANOTHER EXPRESS BUS HAVE TWO.

I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. JUST PROVIDING CLARIFICATION.

WE ARE AN ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION, SO WE'RE YOU KNOW, VOLUNTEERS WORKING ON ADVOCATING TO THE CITY FOR THESE IMPROVEMENTS AND SO I THINK THAT IDEA WOULD BE PERFECT TO SHARE IN YOUR LETTER FOR EXAMPLE, MORE EXPRESS BUSSES ON BCT.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CAN THEN FUND.

BUT WE DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE YOU AND WELCOME YOU TO, YOU KNOW, CHECK OUT SOUTH BAY FORWARD.

WE'RE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WE'D LOVE TO LIKE, DISCUSS MORE ABOUT THOSE IDEAS WITH YOU AND HELP ADVOCATE TOGETHER.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOR THAT COMMENT. THANK YOU.

OKAY. OKAY. SO I THINK THAT CONCLUDES ALL OF OUR COMMENTS.

OKAY. PERFECT. SO WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE.

I HAVE COMMISSIONER CAMPISI WITH THE MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. OKAY. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ALL RIGHT. CAN I JUST MAKE SURE THERE'S NONE OPPOSED? JUST FOR THE RECORD, ANY OPPOSE BECAUSE THIS IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF A MOTION.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. OKAY. MOVING ON TO PROVIDING INPUT REGARDING

[I.2. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO PROVIDE INPUT TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING UPCOMING STRATEGIC PLANNING DISCUSSIONS]

AND AGAIN, JUST I'LL JUST BRIEFLY GO THROUGH SOME OF THOSE HIGH LEVEL TOPIC AREAS THAT WERE ADDRESSED IN THE LETTER THAT CHAIRPERSON FELDE DRAFTED, WHICH WAS INCLUDED WITH YOUR REPORT AND SO THAT LETTER DOES INCLUDE COMMENTS RELATED TO THE CITY'S TRANSIT SYSTEM THAT WERE DISCUSSED LAST WEEK OR, EXCUSE ME, LAST MONTH, DEDICATED SPACES FOR TEENS THAT ARE SAFE AND AFFORDABLE, AND THEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIRD SPACES FOR YOUTH AND SO IF YOU REMEMBER AT THE LAST MEETING, YOU ALL ELECTED CHAIRPERSON FELDE TO DRAFT THE LETTER SO THAT WE CAN THEN FORWARD THE LETTER TO CITY COUNCIL DIRECTLY AND SO FOR TONIGHT, WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU IS JUST TO AFFIRM THAT THE LETTER EXCUSE ME, PROPERLY CAPTURES THE DISCUSSION AND INTENT OF THE COMMISSION, AND IF SO, WE JUST SIMPLY NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE LETTER, AND THEN WE AS STAFF WILL SEND THAT OVER TO CITY COUNCIL.

SO I WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU IF, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY. MOTION. SECOND. WELL, BEFORE WE DO THE MOTION, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE NEED TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT.

SO IF THERE'S NO DISCUSSION, WE COULD DO PUBLIC COMMENT.

IT'S UP TO YOU, CHAIR. WERE YOU GUYS ABLE TO READ THE LETTER? OKAY. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU GUYS FELT LIKE I DIDN'T COVER OR I SHOULD ADD ON TO IT OR REMOVE IT DIDN'T REFLECT THE COMMISSION.

[01:15:07]

OKAY. SO THEN WE CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THE MOTION.

SO I'M SORRY, WHO MADE THE MOTION IS THE I'M ASSUMING THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE.

OKAY. WAS THAT COMMISSIONER CAMPISI. THAT WAS CHO.

GOT IT. THANK YOU. OKAY. AND THEN WHO WAS THE SECOND? THAT WAS ME. OKAY, I KNEW I HEARD YOUR VOICE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY, GREAT. OH, YES. ANY OPPOSED? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OKAY. MOVING ON TO COMMISSION. SUBCOMMITTEE AND APPOINTMENTS UPDATES.

[J. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION]

THIS IS OUR STANDING ITEM AND PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE ON THE COMMISSION.

EXCUSE ME. ANYONE ON AN ACTIVE SUBCOMMITTEE TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE TO THE COMMISSION ON ANY WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE WITHIN THE PAST MONTH OR SINCE YOUR LAST COMMISSION MEETING? WE DO HAVE THREE ACTIVE SUBCOMMITTEES. IT INCLUDES THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE SUBCOMMITTEE, COMMUNICATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE, AND THE TEEN CENTER AND EVENTS SUBCOMMITTEE. SO WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR TO PROVIDE UPDATES OR DISCUSSION ON ANY ITEMS FOR THE TEEN EVENTS AND SORRY, TEEN EVENTS AND TEEN CENTER SUBCOMMITTEE.

WE ARE PLANNING AN OPEN HOUSE ON MONDAY, APRIL 14TH FROM 5 TO 6PM.

THERE WILL BE FREE FOOD, DRINKS, AND RAFFLE PRIZES, SO PLEASE SHOW UP.

ALSO I GOT THE FULL SIZE FLIERS AND I. DOES ANYBODY NOT GO TO REDONDO UNION THAT'S ON THIS COMMISSION? OKAY, WELL IN THAT CASE WE GO TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF CAMPUS.

SO I'LL JUST FIND YOU GUYS AFTER THE MEETING.

BUT FULL SIZE FLIERS THE TIMING ISN'T AWESOME BECAUSE WE'RE GOING ON SPRING BREAK AFTER TOMORROW, AND THEN THE OPEN HOUSE IS THE DAY WE GET BACK, SO REALLY, JUST PUSH IT.

IN YOUR CLASSROOMS. I TRIED TO GET IT IN MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL, BUT YEAH, WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT GRADE LEVELS REPRESENTED ON THIS COMMISSION, SO I'D LOVE FOR YOU GUYS TO REACH OUT TO YOUR CLASSMATES AND MAYBE EVEN SPEAK A BIT IN FRONT OF YOUR CLASSES TOMORROW.

ANYWAYS, I WON'T TAKE TOO MUCH TIME FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEES.

IN ADDITION, IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY SIBLINGS OR HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE SIBLINGS THAT ARE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, I WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM AND WELCOME THEM TO JOIN AS WELL, BECAUSE WE'RE BUILDING OUT THIS TEEN CENTER THAT THEY WILL POTENTIALLY BE USING IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. YOUNGER SIBLINGS.

I MEAN, EVEN LIKE EARLY MIDDLE SCHOOL I THINK COULD WORK.

SO YEAH. OKAY. ANY OTHER UPDATES FROM OTHER SUBCOMMITTEES? HAVE THE MEETINGS BEEN HAPPENING OR. I MEAN REGARDING ALL OF THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION REGARDING THE CANNABIS ORDINANCES AND SUCH. HAS THE SUBCOMMITTEE FOR SUBSTANCE USE BEEN ACTIVE OR.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN THE COMMUNICATION SUBCOMMITTEE.

I KNOW OUR INSTAGRAM IS MADE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY PROGRESS WITH MAKING POSTS OR THINKING OF CONTENT TO POST? OKAY. AWESOME. OKAY. HAS THERE BEEN SCHEDULING CONFLICTS? ACTUALLY, SORRY, I'M NOT TOO FAMILIAR. WHO HERE IS ON THE COMMUNICATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE? OKAY. HAS THE MEETING. HAVE THE MEETINGS BEEN DIFFICULT TO SCHEDULE, OR IS THERE JUST NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE FOR QUORUM? YEAH. IT'S MAINLY JUST THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE FOR THE QUORUM.

OKAY. IS THAT SOMETHING WE SHOULD ADDRESS OR.

WELL, IT'S REALLY UP TO THE COMMISSION. AT ANY POINT, WE COULD KIND OF REIMAGINE THE SUBCOMMITTEES.

IF YOU REMEMBER THE LAST MEETING, WE ACTUALLY REMOVED TWO BECAUSE THEIR WORK HAD BEEN DONE.

SO WE COULD AT ANY POINT KIND OF RELOOK AT THIS AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING IF YOU WANT TO.

WE COULD HAVE A MORE FORMAL DISCUSSION ABOUT IT THE NEXT MEETING.

OKAY. BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND TOO, THAT LIKELY YOU KNOW, IF THIS COMMISSION HAS 1 OR 2 MEETINGS LEFT, LIKELY WHATEVER WORK THE SUBCOMMITTEES ARE GOING TO DO, WHAT WE WILL END UP DOING IS WITH THE NEW GROUP IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER.

EXCUSE ME. WE WILL BASICALLY SAY, HEY, NEW YOUTH COMMISSION.

THESE ARE ALL THE ACTIVE SUBCOMMITTEES THAT WERE THERE PREVIOUSLY. WHICH ONES DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? SO ALL THAT TO SAY, THERE'S GOING TO BE A GAP WHERE THIS COMMISSION IS GOING TO KIND OF END AND WHERE THE NEW ONE WILL BEGIN, AND WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT WORK WILL CONTINUE.

SO I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW HELPFUL IT WILL BE TO KIND OF REIMAGINE THIS LATE IN THE YEAR.

[01:20:03]

OKAY. GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. A MOTION AND A SECOND TO MOVE ON FROM THE UPDATES.

MOTION. SECOND. ANY OPPOSED? ALL IN FAVOR? I.

GREAT. MOVING ON TO THE STAFF LIAISON REPORT.

OKAY. WE JUST HAVE TWO ITEMS AND ONE OF THEM HAS ALREADY BEEN INTRODUCED.

BUT I JUST WANT TO FURTHER REITERATE THE TEEN CENTER OPEN HOUSE.

THIS IS THE EVENT THAT WE HAVE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT HERE AND THERE THROUGHOUT THE MEETING TODAY, WHERE WE'RE JUST HOPING ANY TEENS AND SIBLINGS WHO ARE HOPEFULLY ENTERING THE TEEN YEARS SOON CAN COME AND JUST HELP US REIMAGINE THAT SPACE AND LET US KNOW WHAT THEY WANT. SO THERE WILL BE FOOD, BEVERAGES, RAFFLE PRIZES.

AND SO WE'RE HOPING IT'LL BE SOMEWHAT ENGAGING, HOPEFULLY SOMEWHAT FUN, AND REALLY HELP THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHAT THE POTENTIAL IS THERE.

AND SO THAT WILL BE ON MONDAY, APRIL 14TH FROM 5 TO 6PM AT THE PERRY PARK TEEN CENTER.

SO IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT, PLEASE ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT AND THEN THE SECOND, AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT ITEMS WE WANT TO REITERATE TODAY IS THAT THE YOUTH COMMISSION IS COMING CLOSE TO AN END FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

WE HOPE THAT ALL OF YOU WHO ARE ELIGIBLE WILL REAPPLY FOR NEXT YEAR.

IT IS NOT AUTOMATIC, SO YOU DO STILL HAVE TO COMPLETE A NEW APPLICATION, WHICH IS JUST AFFIRMING YOUR INTENT TO REMAIN ON THE COMMISSION.

SO PLEASE DO SO. THE DEADLINE FOR THAT IS MAY 30TH.

WE DO HAVE THE APPLICATION. WE CAN SEND YOU THE LINK IF YOU NEED IT.

SO YOU CAN DO THAT PRETTY QUICKLY. BUT WE REALLY DO HOPE THAT YOU ALL APPLY IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS OR ANYONE IN YOUR KIND OF NETWORKS THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE GREAT ON THE COMMISSION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND THEM OUR WAY OR TO SEND THEM THE LINK TO THE APPLICATION DIRECTLY.

BUT WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE THE MOMENTUM.

THIS YOUTH COMMISSION WAS WAS NOT ACTIVE FOR MANY YEARS, AND SO THERE WAS A LOT KIND OF RIDING ON HOW YOU GUYS WERE GOING TO PICK UP SOME OF THOSE PIECES FROM SEVERAL YEARS AGO. AND THE MOMENTUM YOU GUYS HAVE BROUGHT AND THE ENERGY HAS BEEN WONDERFUL, AND WE REALLY WANT TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO KEEP THAT MOVING FORWARD.

SO FOR AGAIN, FOR ANY OF YOU THAT ARE ELIGIBLE TO REMAIN ON THE COMMISSION NEXT YEAR, WE DO ENCOURAGE YOU TO REAPPLY AND SHARE THE NEWS WITH EVERYONE. SO THAT CONCLUDES BOTH OF OUR REPORTS FOR YOU FOR THAT ITEM.

DO WE NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND? NO, NOT ON THAT ONE.

GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. COMMISSION MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS.

[K. COMMISSION MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS]

I KNOW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EVENT PLANNING, BUT TODAY WAS REALLY ABOUT THE FINANCES AND BUDGETING.

SO I THINK NEXT MEETING, I'D. OKAY, LET ME START OFF WITH THIS.

I THINK OUR TEEN CENTER SUBCOMMITTEE ISN'T REALLY MEETING AS OFTEN AS WE WANT IT TO.

SO I'M THINKING WE CAN TRANSFER THOSE DISCUSSIONS TO OUR MAIN COMMISSION MEETING WHEN MORE PEOPLE ARE PRESENT AND MORE OPINIONS ARE HEARD. SO WE'LL START WITH THAT.

NOT DISSOLVING THE TEEN CENTER SUBCOMMITTEE, BUT MOVING A LOT OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS TO THE MAIN COMMISSION MEETINGS.

AND THEN NEXT MEETING, I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE ENVISION FOR THE TEEN CENTER, PERHAPS CREATING A MISSION STATEMENT MAYBE SOME MORE EVENT PLANNING AS WELL.

BUT YEAH. I THINK WE SHOULD TALK MORE ABOUT I KNOW WE DRAW A LOT OF IDEAS ABOUT YOU KNOW, CERTAIN AMENITIES, ACTIVITIES, ALL THAT STUFF.

WE TALKED YOU KNOW, WE DOVE A LITTLE BIT INTO THAT TODAY.

I THINK WE SHOULD, YOU KNOW GET A MORE DETAILED LOOK AT OUR BUDGET NEXT MEETING AND MAYBE PLAN AROUND THAT.

BECAUSE I KNOW THESE ARE A BUNCH OF GREAT IDEAS.

IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT. WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL HAVE THE BUDGET BY THE NEXT MEETING AND I THINK A LOT OF THE EVENT PLANNING WILL BE FOR THE NEXT COMMISSION.

BUT I THINK WE CAN DEFINITELY DO SOME MORE EVENT PLANNING AND THINKING. I MEAN, WE CAME UP WITH A BUNCH OF IDEAS TODAY, WHICH IS GREAT, BUT MAYBE FOR OUR SUMMER PROGRAMS, WHILE THE COMMISSION IS OUT AND THE TEEN CENTER ISN'T FULLY OPEN, WE CAN PLAN SOME, LIKE SUMMER EVENTS THAT SHOULD BE EASIER TO DIGEST TO JUST 2 OR 3 THINGS.

OKAY, SO FOR US TO FORMALLY ADD THAT TO THE AGENDA, WE DO NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND AND A MAJORITY VOTE TO HAVE THAT FUTURE DISCUSSION.

MOTION. SECOND. ANY OPPOSED? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OKAY. AND CAN I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ADJOURN THIS MEETING? MOTION. SECOND. OKAY. ANY OPPOSED? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ALL RIGHT. THIS MEETING HAS BEEN ADJOURNED.

THANK YOU GUYS. THE SECOND. OH, IT WAS ZIVA AND BARAN.

THEY, LIKE, TIED. I'M SORRY. COMMISSIONER CHABOT AND TAGHVAEI.
