[M. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION]

SO JUST IF I NEED TO GET REMINDED ON OUR AGENDA, THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO KICK THIS OFF IS INTRODUCTIONS.

SO I WOULD JUST INVITE FOLKS TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, THEIR DEPARTMENT, AND WE'LL JUST GO AROUND THE ROOM.

MAYBE I'LL START RIGHT HERE WITH DANA. OKAY.

[00:06:12]

YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN. I DO WANT TO WELCOME OUR TWO NEW MEMBERS.

SO I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO MEET WITH FOLKS, INTRODUCE MYSELF, AND TALK A LITTLE BIT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MAYOR LIGHT IS WITH US THIS YEAR. I BELIEVE HE WAS INTERIM AT THIS POINT LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS HERE.

SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU. YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN IS A PROCESS THAT YOU'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW.

YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH IT? IT IS PUBLICLY POSTED ON THE WEBSITE.

IT'S GOT SIX GOALS, AND A NUMBER OF WHAT WE CALL OBJECTIVES ARE ALSO KEY INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS ON THERE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THAT, AND ALSO LOOK AT WHERE WE MIGHT WANT TO START TO ADJUST THE PLAN A LITTLE BIT.

RIGHT. WHERE WE CAN FINE TUNE THINGS AND PLAN FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, IN THREE YEARS FOR OUR THREE YEAR PLAN, AS WE DID LAST YEAR.

LET'S START THIS OFF ON A VERY POSITIVE NOTE.

I'D LIKE TO GO AROUND AND CAPTURE SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS SINCE WE LAST CONVENED FOR THIS PURPOSE IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

SO WE MIGHT JUST GO. MAYBE I'LL START WITH THE COUNCIL, AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH THE EXECUTIVE TEAM, AND I'M GOING TO TRY AND CAPTURE THIS UP ON MY SCREEN.

WHEN I'M ABLE TO SHARE MY SCREEN. JUST LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S SOMETHING I SHOULD DO.

GREAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WHO WANTS TO KICK US OFF? I'M GOING TO CHIME IN WITH THE PASSING OF MEASURE FP.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S HAVE THE COUNCIL. WE'RE GOING TO PICK UP THE PACE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I'LL JUMP IN FOR DISTRICT TWO AND DISTRICT TWO W E'VE MADE SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE WATERFRONT, BOTH IN TERMS OF THE PAVERS AND THE NEW SKATE PARK THAT WAS OPENED.

THOSE ARE TWO KEY THINGS DOWN THERE THAT. YEAH, I HEARD SKATE PARK.

I MISSED THE OTHER ONE, BUT YES, GREAT PAVERS WAS THE OTHER ONE.

OH, PAVERS. I WOULD JUST ADD WHILE YOU'RE WRITING THAT UP THERE RECRUITING, RETAINING EXCELLENT STAFF, INCLUDING OUR CITY MANAGER.

I THINK A LOT OF WHAT YOU SEE ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IS A CREDIT TO THE GREAT WORK THAT OUR STAFF HAS DONE, INCLUDING FP AND EVERYTHING WE'RE PUTTING UP HERE.

SO I THINK THAT'S VERY POSITIVE. ABSOLUTELY. OKAY, SO THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT GOT ALL THE KIDS OFF THE WAITLIST FOR THE AFTER SCHOOL RECREATION PROGRAM.

THEY REMODELED THE TEEN CENTER PUBLIC WORKS, COMPLETED THE BUILD OUTS AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS ON GRANT AVENUE.

POLICE DEPARTMENT DID SOME ENFORCEMENT ON FORD AVENUE, AND THEY'VE ALSO CAUGHT SOME VIOLENT CRIMINALS WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHOOTINGS IN MY DISTRICT. YEAH. AS WELL AS GRAFFITI FOLKS, FOLKS WHO PERPETRATED GRAFFITI. GRAFFITI? I BELIEVE THERE WAS ARREST MADE WITH REGARD TO THAT TOO.

WE REACHED FUNCTIONAL ZERO FOR OUR HOMELESSNESS IN THE CITY.

YES. IT'S FUNCTIONAL ZERO IS HOW TO CAPTURE THAT.

YEAH, THAT'S A PHRASE. YEAH. A COUPLE FOLKS TALK THROUGH THAT.

[00:10:01]

OKAY. I'LL GO. LET'S SEE. WE DID COMPLETE A CANNABIS PERMIT SELECTION PROCESS CULMINATING YEARS OF WORK.

SO THAT'S A BIG, MOMENTOUS OCCASION FOR US. WE DID INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK VENTING IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH WERE THE OLD ONES, WERE CREATING AN EYESORE ON OUR NEW PAVERS SEASIDE LAGOON.

WE GOT TO 30% DESIGN REVIEW AND WE'RE NOW WORKING TOWARDS ENTITLEMENTS.

WE ALSO HAVE A FUNDING MECHANISM FOR THE FIRST PHASE.

SO WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. THE BOAT LAUNCH PRE-DESIGN.

WE AWARDED A CONTRACT ACTUALLY FOR THE DESIGN OF THE BOAT BOAT LAUNCH, AND WE'RE NEARING COMPLETION ON THE TWO CRITICAL STUDIES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN FUNDING, AND ALSO THAT WOULD GO INTO THE BOAT LAUNCH DESIGN.

LET'S SEE, THERE'S OTHER STUFF HERE. WE'VE HIRED SOME CRITICAL PEOPLE IN CITY HALL.

WE'VE GOT SOMEBODY WITH CONTRACTS EXPERIENCE NOW, AND WE'VE HIRED ADDITIONAL PERSON INTO THE WED ORGANIZATION, THE WATERFRONT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS FREEING UP STAFF TO DO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE CITY, WHERE BEFORE WE WERE MORE FOCUSED ON THE HARBOR AND WE'VE BROUGHT ON A PERSON TO BE THE POINT.

POINT OF CONTACT OR THE POINT PERSON FOR MEASURE FP EXECUTION.

LET ME JUMP IN. I THINK WE, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT HAVE PROVEN TO BE ABSOLUTE HEROES IN FIGHTING THE FIRES UP IN LA.

ALSO A WISE DECISION BY THE COUNCIL TO APPROPRIATE MONEY TO OBTAIN A SECOND NEW ENGINE, BECAUSE THAT ALLOWED US TO SEND TWO STRIKE TEAMS TO THOSE FIRES AND ALSO MAINTAIN FULL STAFFING HERE IN REDONDO BEACH.

WE IMPLEMENTED GENERAL PLAN CHANGES TO ACCOMMODATE OUR HOUSING ELEMENT, WHICH WAS A SIGNIFICANT EFFORT WHICH INCLUDED CHARTER CHARTER CHANGE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT. OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH STATE AGENCIES, HAVE BEEN CRACKING DOWN ON SMOKE SHOPS SELLING ILLEGAL PRODUCTS.

OTHERS? WITH THE COUNCIL. GOOD. TO PUT A FINE POINT ON THE HIRES.

HIRED A NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR, A NEW ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER AND A NEW SPECIAL PROJECTS MANAGER FOR MEASURE FP.

I WOULD ALSO ADD THAT WE COMPLETED THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT PROJECT AT DOMINGUEZ PARK.

DIDN'T SAY IT WAS OPEN, JUST SAID WOULD COMPLETE THE PROJECT. WE ALSO COMPLETED BIKE PATH IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AND COMPLETED ANOTHER ROUND OF STREETSCAPE ENHANCEMENT IN RIVIERA VILLAGE. ANOTHER PHASE, IF I COULD, MIKE, JUST JUMP ON THAT BIKE PATH IMPROVEMENT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WATCH PUBLIC WORKS AND SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION LAST NIGHT, BUT THE BICYCLE COALITION ACTUALLY PRAISED US FOR LEADERSHIP IN THE AREA OF BIKE MOBILITY. WE THIS ONE'S A LITTLE BIT COMICAL, BUT WE DID COMPLETE THE HARDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR COURTYARD LANDSCAPING PROJECT.

WE'LL CALL THAT PHASE ONE OF THREE. WENT THROUGH OUR FIRST RANKED CHOICE VOTING. THAT'S RIGHT. SIX HAD A SUCCESSFUL MARCH ELECTION IMPLEMENTING RANKED CHOICE VOTING.

ALSO HAD A SERIES. I GUESS THIS WOULD BE GOING BACK TO OUR EARLIER ELECTION WHEN WE HAD.

WELL, NO, I GUESS THAT WAS THE PRIOR PRIOR PLANNING PERIOD.

I WAS GOING TO SAY MORE CHARTER CHANGES, BUT WE DID THAT IN THE PRIOR PLAN. AWESOME.

[00:15:03]

RIGHT? YEP. YEAH, WE DID MORE MORE CHARTER.

OR HARBORMASTER HARBORMASTER POSITION IN THE HARBOR PATROL UNIT.

PAVERS ON THE INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK WERE COMPLETE, AND IN THE RIVIERA VILLAGE.

WE I THINK YOU CAN SAY WE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED THE BOATER ALERT NETWORK IN THE HARBOR.

BOATER, N OT VOTER. VOTER WOULD BE-- WARNING, YOU MUST VOTE.

[CHUCKLING] IS THIS THE LIKE A TSUNAMI ALERT NETWORK? IT'S KIND OF A SORT OF A PROACTIVE COMMUNICATION TOOL.

YEAH, GREAT. OTHERS OR ADDITIONALLY, I WOULD SAY ENHANCED HARBOR CODE ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS IN THE HARBOR PATROL UNIT. HOW ABOUT WI-FI AT THE HARBOR? WAS THAT LAST YEAR? IT WAS THIS P ERIOD. YEAH.

ADDED WI-FI TO THE PIER, PUBLIC WI-FI AT THE PIER END OF THE PALLET SHELTER.

RIGHT. WE'VE GOT THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE.

IT'S NOT TURNED ON YET. INCREASED MORE THAN DOUBLED OUR REVENUE FROM THE BEACHLIFE FESTIVAL THIS YEAR.

WHAT WAS THE FESTIVAL? BEACHLIFE FESTIVAL. GREAT.

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ASSISTED THE CALIFORNIA SURF CLUB WITH ITS OFFICIAL COMPLETION IN THIS PERIOD.

WE RECOVERED ABOUT, I THINK, OVER $200,000 BY NOT HAVING HOLIDAY PAY HOLIDAY PARKING FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF DECEMBER. I THINK COUNCILMEMBER BEHRENDT WOULD LIKE THAT ONE.

DOUBLE NEGATIVE. YES. FOR NOVEMBER? DECEMBER? THE ENTIRE MONTH OF DECEMBER. SO WE SHORTENED IT TO TWO WEEKS.

IT'S 200 OR IS IT 150? NO. THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S GENERALLY RIGHT.

YEAH. WE LOVE RUBBING SALT IN AN OPEN WOUND. I HAVE A COUPLE I CAN ADD.

WE RESPONDED TO OVER 59,000 CALLS FOR SERVICE FROM THE COMMUNITY, RESULTING IN OVER 2000 ARRESTS, AND . WE SECURED STATE FUNDING TO GET AN ENHANCED EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH SYSTEM AND TO FULLY REPLACE ALL OF OUR 911 DISPATCH EQUIPMENT, BOTH THROUGH STATE FUNDING. ANOTHER BIG ONE FOR US WAS WE WERE ABLE TO MODIFY THE STREET SWEEPING ORDINANCE, AND IMPLEMENT A GIS MAPPING SYSTEM FOR THE PUBLIC.

THAT'S PART OF THE STREAM. YEAH, IT'S PART OF ALL OF THAT.

YEAH. TWO INITIATIVES, THOUGH. YEAH, BUT ALL RELATED TO STREET SWEEPING. YEAH.

AS LONG AS YOU INDICATE. YEAH. THERE YOU GO, AND THEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HOSTED 17 COMMUNITY EVENTS.

THANK YOU. I WOULD ADD CONTINUING TO DO GREAT THINGS WITH E-BIKE ENFORCEMENT AND EDUCATION.

I FEEL LIKE FROM OUR LAST MEETING THAT THE COMMUNITY IS GENERALLY HAPPY WITH THE DIRECTION THAT IT'S GOING.

SO, AND WE DID GET A GRANT, AND PUBLIC SAFETY HAS IMPLEMENTED FIRST RESPONDER MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. GREAT.

JANE, YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK IN WITH SOME OF THE DEPARTMENT HEADS. YEAH. SO WE STARTED OVER HERE WITH POLICE. SHOULD WE START TO MOVE AROUND THE TABLE WITH OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS? YEAH, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO TOUT SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE LIBRARY.

WE. OVER PREVIOUS YEARS, WE HAVE ALMOST DOUBLED OUR SUMMER READING ATTENDANCE IN OUR ANNUAL PROGRAM, WHICH IS AMAZING. WE HAVE DIGITIZED OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER, THE REDONDO BEACH DAILY BREEZE, THAT WAS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY.

ALSO, WITH THE SUPPORT OF OUR IT DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE UPGRADED ALL OF OUR PUBLIC COMPUTERS AND ENHANCED OUR PRINT STATIONS SCANNING AND WIRELESS PRINTING AT THE LIBRARY. WE HELD OVER 500 PROGRAMS FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR ALL AGES,

[00:20:04]

OUR SOMEBODY MENTIONED OUR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, SO I'LL SKIP THAT ONE, BUT WE ONBOARDED A BRAND NEW TRANSIT TEAM IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, ACTUALLY, AND THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL IN CONDUCTING AN RFP FOR A NEW TRANSIT OPERATOR.

SO THAT'LL BE COMING SOON. OUR YOUTH COMMISSION IS UP AND RUNNING, AND WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK FROM OUR TEEN DEMOGRAPHIC ON THE REOPENING OF THE TEEN CENTER, AND A OUR HOUSING DIVISION WAS ABLE TO PULL 100 PEOPLE OFF OF THE WAIT LIST FOR SECTION EIGHT HOUSING. WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. OKAY. FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND COUNCILMEMBER OBAGI MENTIONED THIS, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO, WITH THE ADDITION OF NEW FIRE ENGINES DEPLOY TO TEN STRIKE TEAMS. SO TEN WILDFIRES ACROSS THE STATE. A TOTAL OF 3534 PERSONNEL WERE ASSIGNED PUT IN JUST OVER 6000 HOURS.

HIGHLIGHTED OBVIOUSLY BY THE PACIFIC PALISADES FIRES, WE HAD TWO ENGINES OUT THERE FOR 16 DAYS TO HELP WITH LIFE, SAFETY AND SUPPRESSION EFFORTS THERE. IN ADDITION, OUR EMS DIVISION UPGRADED ONE OF OUR FIRE ENGINES FROM A PARAMEDIC ASSESSMENT ENGINE TO A TRUE PARAMEDIC ENGINE. WITH THIS UPGRADE, IT REDUCED OUR RELIANCE ON MUTUAL AID BY JUST OVER 40%.

SO THAT WAS A BIG WIN FOR OUR AGENCY. OUR FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU COMPLETED 99% OF THE STATE MANDATED FIRE INSPECTIONS THROUGH THE STATE.

THIS INCLUDES SCHOOLS, ANY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES WITH THREE OR MORE UNITS.

SO THAT WAS A BIG WIN. IN ADDITION, WE ASSISTED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IN SECURING A BARGE COMPANY FIREWORKS VENDOR FOR THE 4TH OF JULY SHOW, AND THEN IN OUR HARBOR DIVISION, WITH THE ADDITION OF THE HARBORMASTER, WE ALSO RECENTLY PROMOTED THREE MEMBERS TO DEPUTY HARBORMASTER BOAT CAPTAIN POSITION. SO THEY'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON THE OPERATIONS IN THE HARBOR, AND THAT WILL BE A CONTINUED FOCUS FOR US.

SO WE ALSO RESPONDED TO JUST JUST UNDER 8000 RESPONSES ON THE YEAR LAST YEAR.

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL SPEAK FOR ENGINEERING. WE, LAUREN SABLAN, CITY ENGINEER.

WE HAD 1600 PERMITS THAT WE ISSUED OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.

SO APPROXIMATELY 800 IN THE LAST SINCE SEPTEMBER 4300 IN PUBLIC WORKS INSPECTIONS, AGAIN, ROUGHLY HALF IN THAT TIME FRAME FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

WE ALSO COMPLETED 18 PROJECTS, WHICH MANY OF YOU HAVE MENTIONED HERE TODAY AND SPENT $12.1 MILLION OF CAPITAL FUNDS ON THAT. WE INTERNALLY, WE'VE HIRED FILLED TWO VACANT POSITIONS AND HAD TWO PROMOTIONS IN THE DIVISION.

SO PROUD OF THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MIKE KLEIN, OPERATIONS FOR PUBLIC WORKS.

WE COMPLETED THE HARBOR DREDGING PROJECT, WHICH I THINK WAS A REAL BIG ONE FOR US.

WE DID SOME ENHANCED LIGHTING ALONG THE WALKING PATHS, WHICH WAS JUST COMPLETED TODAY WITH ONE OF THE LAST LIGHTS GOING IN.

SO ACCESS TO THE UPPER WALKING PATHS HAS BEEN DONE.

WE HAVE CONTINUED WITH OUR FLEET TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT NOT ONLY FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT ALSO ESPECIALLY OUR SEWER AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WITH A NEW VECTOR TRUCK, WHICH IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR KEEPING OUR, OUR OCEANS CLEAN.

WE HAD QUITE A FEW STORMS LAST YEAR THAT WE DID SOME RESPONSE WITH FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WITH PD.

SO IT'S IMMEDIATE AND LET'S SEE. OH, AND THEN THE LAST ONE THAT I HAVE IS ASSISTED MUTUAL THROUGH MUTUAL AID. OTHER CITIES ALONG THE COAST. HERMOSA ALL THE WAY UP TO EL SEGUNDO, MANHATTAN BEACH, WITH LENDING OUR STAFF AND EQUIPMENT TO OTHER CITIES FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.

THEY HAD. THANK YOU. FROM THE HR DEPARTMENT. I'M DIANE STRICKFADEN.

ON THE RECRUITMENT SIDE, IN ADDITION TO THE KEY HIRING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED, WE PROCESSED OVER 6000 JOB APPLICATIONS.

WE HIRED 54 FULL TIME AND 71 PART TIME EMPLOYEES.

IN ADDITION TO THE ONES THAT WERE MENTIONED UP THERE ON THE WORKERS' COMP AND LIABILITY CLAIMS SIDE, SINCE 2022, WE'VE SEEN A 20% REDUCTION IN WORKERS' COMP CLAIMS AND CLAIM COSTS.

[00:25:03]

PREMIUMS. SO THAT'S BIG NEWS. WE RECEIVED AN INVESTIGATIVE 59 LIABILITY CLAIMS 40 WORKER'S COMP CLAIMS, WHICH IS LESS THAN NORMAL. WE'VE BEEN WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH CITY DEPARTMENTS TO IMPLEMENT VENDOR COMPLIANCE WITH OUR RISK POOLS CONTRACT INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING CONDUCTING TRAINING FOR CITY STAFF ON THE LABOR RELATIONS SIDE.

WE NEGOTIATED, FINALIZED, AND IMPLEMENTED TWO NEW MOUS FOR THE RBFA AND THEN THE FIRE DIVISION CHIEFS, AS WELL AS UPDATING THE MANAGEMENT CONFIDENTIAL PAY PLAN AND THE PART TIME PAY PLAN, AND WE COORDINATED 12 EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS TRAININGS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING WORKING WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ON A NEW WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAM AND A COMPLETE TRAINING FOR ALL CITY STAFF.

THANK YOU. STEPHANIE. STEPHANIE MEYER WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

IMPORTANTLY, ALTHOUGH IT'S PART OF OUR CORE JOB.

WE PRODUCED A BALANCED BUDGET FOR 24-25. WE DID RECEIVE THE GFOA AWARD FOR THAT BUDGET DOCUMENT.

WE'VE ALSO RETURNED TO A PRETTY NORMAL BUDGET TIMELINE WITH OUR CARRYOVER MIDYEAR ON OUR REGULAR DATES THIS YEAR.

WE'VE KEPT THE CITY MOVING. WE'VE PROCESSED PAYROLL.

EVERYONE'S GOTTEN PAID AND PRODUCED OVER $5,000 OR OVER 5000 CHECKS EFT PAYMENTS AND PROCESSED OVER 700 NEW BUSINESS LICENSES THIS YEAR. WE'VE ALSO PREPARED 14 EXTERNAL REPORTS, RANGING FROM OUR JUST GENERAL BOND COMPLIANCE TO SUPPORTING OUR TRANSIT AND HOUSING REPORTS.

WE'VE INCREASED OUR ACCOUNTING CAPACITY. WE HAVE TWO SENIOR ACCOUNTANTS ON STAFF FOR THE FIRST TIME, I BELIEVE IN CITY HISTORY. SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

WITH THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT, WE REESTABLISHED CONNECTION WITH THE WITH THE COUNTY, FOR SOME MEASURE A FUNDING, WHICH IS GIVING US ACCESS TO ABOUT $2.5 MILLION IN EXISTING FUNDING FOR PARKS AND RECREATION PROJECTS.

WE ARE ALSO ASSISTED WITH OUR MEASURE FP IMPLEMENTATION.

REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT, INCLUDING BRINGING ON A FINANCIAL ADVISOR, AND THEN INTERNALLY WE'VE COOPERATED WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO BRING ON A NEW ONLINE PERMITTING SYSTEM TO UPGRADE OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM SOFTWARE AND JUST SUPPORT AUDIT ACTIVITIES IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, WELL, SPEAKING FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, THE MAYOR HAD MENTIONED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT EARLIER.

SO THAT WAS DEFINITELY IMPORTANT WORK, AND IT WAS A LOT OF WORK WITHIN A SHORT TIME.

WE ALSO SET THE STAGE FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, WHICH IS GOING TO BE RETURNING TO THE CITY COUNCIL THIS SUMMER.

THAT INCLUDES THE FACT THAT WE CERTIFIED THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE.

THAT WAS A BIG THING TO CHECK OFF THE LIST IN TERMS OF ORDINANCES.

WE HAD SEVERAL GO TO THE COUNCIL OVER THE PAST YEAR, ONE THAT DEALT WITH EV CHARGING STATIONS, ANOTHER ONE ELECTRONIC SIGN SIGNAGE, AND THEN PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE RECENTLY PRESENTED AN ORDINANCE FOR SMOKE SHOPS TO THE CITY COUNCIL, AND THAT'S PROGRESSING THROUGH THE PROCESS. SO THOSE WERE OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND THEN AS A DEPARTMENTS THE THINGS WE'VE DONE, WE COMPLETED AN ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPED AN ACTION PLAN.

WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING THE ACTION PLAN TO IMPROVE OPERATIONS, AND ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS ACTUALLY WORKING WITH JANE ON A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR MY DEPARTMENT. JUST MET WITH HER EARLIER THIS MORNING, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ROLLING THAT OUT, AND THEN WE ALSO LAUNCHED A NEW PERMITTING SYSTEM JUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND IT'S ACTUALLY GOING REALLY WELL.

THERE WERE SOME GROWING PAINS THE FIRST FEW WEEKS, BUT IT'S ON THE RIGHT TRACK AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL WITH THIS SYSTEM, AND I'M SURE WE PROCESSED A LOT OF PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS AND THINGS OVER THE PAST YEAR.

NEXT YEAR I'LL HAVE THE STATS THANKS TO THE SYSTEM THAT I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE DATA ON THAT, BUT I KNOW IT'S BEEN BUSY. IT'S BEEN A LOT, AND THEN FINALLY, ONE OF THOSE CRITICAL PROJECTS THAT WE PROCESS WAS THE LEGATO PROJECT.

WE RECENTLY ISSUED A TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR THAT PROJECT FOR THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGER PROJECTS IN THE CITY IN RECENT MEMORY, AND A VERY IMPORTANT ONE TO GET IT RIGHT.

THANK YOU. FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE WATERFRONT, A COUPLE OF MY PROJECTS WERE ALREADY NAMED.

THAT WAS THE NEW BOAT LAUNCH PROJECT, AS WELL AS SEASIDE LAGOON RENOVATIONS THE RENEGOTIATION OF THE BEACH LIFE.

BUT SPEAKING OF NEGOTIATIONS, WE ALSO NEGOTIATED A 50 YEAR OPTION AGREEMENT WITH PORT ROYAL IN EXCHANGE FOR COMPLETELY NEW INFRASTRUCTURE,

[00:30:03]

WE PURCHASED A SHARK BOY THAT WE THEN DONATED TO CAL STATE LONG BEACH FOR THEIR SHARK LAB PROGRAM.

WE REALLY SECURED RIVIERA VILLAGE. WE ALWAYS HELPED MANAGE THEIR BID, AND WE GOT THEM TO, FOR THE FIRST TIME, RAISE THEIR RATES SO THAT THEIR MONEY STRETCHES A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION. THE VENTING SYSTEM GOT GOT CALLED OUT THE PAVERS AS WELL, BUT WE GOT NEW SIGNAGE, WE GOT NEW LANDSCAPING.

THERE'S A MURAL ON THE OLD FUN FACTORY SITE. EVERY SHARED AREA OF THAT AREA WAS WAS REPAINTED, AND SOME OF THE RAILING SYSTEMS ARE BEING REPLACED AS WE SPEAK.

SO A LOT OF ATTENTION THERE. WE WERE ABLE TO USE GRANT MONEY TO REMOVE 15 ABANDONED BOATS OUT OF OUR HARBOR WHICH WAS WHICH WAS BIG FOR MY PRESENCE, AND WE'RE ACTUALLY APPLYING FOR ENOUGH MONEY TO POTENTIALLY FOR $150,000.

RECENTLY WE'VE BEEN PAYING A LOT OF ATTENTION TO BASIN THREE, BUT THIS PAST SIX MONTHS WE'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO BASIN ONE AND JUST THE MAINTENANCE QUALITY OUT THERE, AND WE PUT THAT LEASEHOLDER ON WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A MAINTENANCE PLAN, AND WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF PROGRESS IN TERMS OF JUST, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES, BUT ALSO JUST, YOU KNOW, FIXING UTILITY BOXES LIFE PRESERVERS, THINGS LIKE THAT. GATES. THAT'S ABOUT IT. THANK YOU.

IN THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, OUR OFFICE HAS COMPLETED OVER 250 ASSIGNMENTS, WHICH FROM STAFF, WHICH COULD INCLUDE CONTRACTS, ORDINANCES, RESOLUTIONS, AND SO ON OUR PROSECUTION SIDE HAS IMPLEMENTED, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, A CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH HAS ALLOWED US TO START RACE BLIND CHARGING AND MAYOR PRO TEM MENTIONED FUNCTIONAL ZERO IN STREET HOMELESSNESS.

OUR HOMELESS HOUSING NAVIGATOR, LILA MORA, WAS NAMED WOMAN OF THE YEAR BY SUPERVISOR HOLLY MITCHELL.

WE HAVE BEEN INVITED TO SPEAK TO SEVERAL EVENTS WITH THE LEAGUE OF CITIES IN HOMELESSNESS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT, AND WE JUST HIRED OUR NEW QUALITY OF LIFE PROSECUTOR WHO WILL BE STARTING ON MONDAY, I'M TOLD, AND ANA PAPADAKIS, WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL PROSECUTOR THAT STARTED OUR HOMELESS COURT HAS AGREED TO COME BACK, AND SHE JUST FINISHED HER FIRST HOMELESS COURT, RETURNING LAST WEEK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE NEW PROSECUTOR. AS GOOD AS HER OLD ONE.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON. MIKE COOK, IT DIRECTOR. SO THE LAST YEAR HAS SEEN THE CONCLUSION OF SOME BIG, BIG HARDWARE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS, NAMELY REPLACING EVERY LAPTOP, DESKTOP AND MONITOR IN THE CITY.

WE ALSO REFRESHED EVERY SINGLE MOBILE DEVICE IN THE CITY, WHICH ACTUALLY BROUGHT OUR SMARTPHONE AND TABLET COUNT TO ROUGHLY DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF DEVICES THAT PREVIOUSLY WERE AVAILABLE TO STAFF.

ALSO REPLACED EVERY PRINTER AND COPIER IN THE CITY, SO IF YOU CAN HIT IT WITH A HAMMER, IT GOT REPLACED THIS YEAR.

ON THE CYBERSECURITY SIDE, WE COMPLETED A NUMBER OF BIG PROJECTS, KIND OF THE TWO LARGEST BEING THE REPLACEMENT OF OUR BACKUP INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE REPLACEMENT OF OUR NETWORK FIREWALLS, WHICH WERE BOTH VERY, VERY DATED AND BADLY IN NEED.

PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ADDING THE WI-FI TO THE INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK AND THE WATERFRONT AREA, BUT WE ALSO ADDED WI-FI TO THE HISTORIC MUSEUM AND WILDERNESS PARK, AND THEN A LOT OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT WE WORKED ON HAVE BEEN MENTIONED ALREADY.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND THE PERMITTING SYSTEM, BUT ONE OF THE BIG ONES, WE CONCLUDED WAS ALSO THE MOVE OF OUR TYLER MUNIS ERP FROM ON PREMISE TO THEIR LATEST, GREATEST CLOUD VERSION OF THE APPLICATION.

THANK YOU. JANE, IF I COULD, WE'VE GOT JANE AND LUKE IN THE AUDIENCE HERE TO OUR ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGERS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANTED TO SHARE ANYTHING ELSE. LUKE JANE, ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS LIST? IT'S OBVIOUSLY PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE. ALL RIGHT.

YEAH. LUKE, CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, A COUPLE THINGS.

WE ASSEMBLED A TEAM OF CONSULTANTS TO CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE ON THE GREEN LINE EXTENSION PROJECT.

GEOTECHNICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS THAT WILL HELP US THERE, AND THEN ALSO, WE INSTITUTED AN ATTENDANCE TRACKER FOR OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.

SO OUR MAYOR AND COUNCIL CAN HAVE MORE REAL TIME ACCESS TO THE DATA OF ATTENDANCE, AND THAT'S IT.

OKAY. I THINK JANE'S GOOD. OKAY. THUMBS UP. I'VE GOT ONE.

ADD ON PLEASE. WE DID SUCCESSFULLY CONSOLIDATE AND TRANSITION TO A DIFFERENT COMMISSION STRUCTURE.

[00:35:04]

ANYTHING COME TO MIND AS WE WERE GOING AROUND? YOU WANT TO ADD? WE'RE ALMOST TO 100. WE MAY AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. THERE'S A FEW IN THERE I CAN BREAK UP.

I'LL GET US TO 100, BUT I THINK YOU BEAT. I THINK YOU BEAT LAST YEAR'S RECORD.

SO LOOKING GOOD, BUT JUST APPRECIATING FOR A MOMENT ALL OF THE WORK, AND THIS WASN'T EVEN IN A YEAR.

THIS WAS A LESS THAN A 1212 MONTH PERIOD. SO.

THANK YOU FOR CAPTURING THAT. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE ON ACCOMPLISHMENTS? WE'RE GOOD. OKAY. WE WILL NOW MOVE TO THE NEXT PART OF THE MEETING, WHICH IS LOOKING AT DOING A SWOT FOR THE CITY.

SO THINKING ABOUT INTERNALLY WHAT ARE OUR STRENGTHS AS A CITY.

SO THIS IS ALL INTERNAL TO US THINGS WE CAN CONTROL, AND WHAT ARE OUR WEAKNESSES AS A CITY, AND THEN THINKING ABOUT WHAT ARE OUR OPPORTUNITIES, THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL BUT COULD BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US, AND THREATS, THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL, THAT COULD ALSO BE THREATS FOR US.

SO I KNOW THAT SOME OF THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE GOING TO CROSS OVER WITH SOME OF THESE STRENGTHS, BUT BUT LET'S JUST KICK IT OFF WITH WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHS RIGHT NOW FOR THE CITY.

I THINK WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE VERY STRONG DEPARTMENT HEADS AND STAFF IN THE CITY.

YEAH. THE PEOPLE. GREAT. OTHERS. THAT'S OUR PUBLIC SAFETY IS A BIG STRENGTH. PUBLIC SAFETY.

PUBLIC SAFETY IS A BIG STRENGTH. YEP. WONDERFUL.

WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL.

TRANSPORTATION, CAPITAL RESOURCES. CITY HAS GREAT RESPONSIVENESS.

CITY STAFF HAS GREAT RESPONSIVENESS. TO PUBLIC.

RIGHT? YEAH, TO THE PUBLIC. BE IT A CRIME OR PUBLIC WORKS ISSUE OR A NEED IN A PARK.

YEAH. OTHERS. USING CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE RESPONSES.

THANK YOU. OTHERS MORE SPECIFICALLY ON PUBLIC SAFETY.

EVEN IF YOU CALL OUR NON-EMERGENCY LINES, YOU GET A PICK UP IN ABOUT TWO RINGS.

SO I'LL SAY OUR DISPATCH IS PHENOMENAL AND PROMPT.

GREAT. SOME IMPORTANT METRICS HERE. WHAT ELSE? I'D SAY WE HAVE BUILT UP SIGNIFICANT MOMENTUM ON REVITALIZATION ACROSS THE CITY.

I WOULD SAY POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR LABOR ASSOCIATIONS.

CONSENSUS ON COUNCIL, FOR EXAMPLE, WE JUST TALKED ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

SEEMS LIKE THERE'S UNANIMITY IN WANTING TO DRIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY.

MORE ON THE MORE ON RESPONSIVENESS TO THE PUBLIC.

OUR GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH ATHENS. I MEAN, TRASH IS A BIG DEAL IN THE CITY AND THEY'RE VERY RESPONSIVE.

IT WAS THE TRASH COLLECTION. OKAY. OKAY. ACTIVE VOLUNTEERISM IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WHAT ELSE? SAY FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, THE EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE THAT WE GET HERE IS PRETTY HIGH LEVEL FOR A SMALLER CITY.

WHETHER IT'S LIKE TRAINING CERTIFICATIONS OR DEGREES AND STUFF OR WHEN I TALKED TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS, WE'RE A LITTLE AHEAD OF THAT FOR A SMALL AGENCY.

GREAT. I WOULD SAY THE PASSING OF FP IS A STRENGTH.

WHAT ELSE? ANY OTHER STRENGTHS? I THINK WE HAVE A HIGH SUCCESS RATE IN ACCOMPLISHING OUR GOALS, AS DEMONSTRATED WITH THE LAST EXERCISE. SOMEBODY SAY WE GOT A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT?

[00:40:19]

NOT SKEPTICAL. I WOULD SAY, JANE, TO OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REPLACEMENT PROGRAM AND COMMITMENT TO THAT IS IS DEFINITELY A STRENGTH.

SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS A LOT OF DEVICES. YES, MIKE AND TEAM HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY.

A STRONG RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

A STRONG AND APPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP, I SHOULD SAY.

WHAT ELSE? I THINK WE'RE AN ATTRACTIVE EMPLOYER BASED JUST ON THE SHEER NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS WE RECEIVE.

YEAH, AND LOWER ATTRITION. WE HAVE STAFF FROM MANAGEMENT DOWN TO EVERYBODY ACTS AS A TEAM. TEAM READY? OKAY. I SEE A HAND. ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC? OKAY.

DEPARTMENTS TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL AT THE END, IT'S VERY ACCESSIBLE.

IT'S LIKE CALL EVERYBODY AND PEOPLE'S WILLING TO HELP ONE ANOTHER.

THAT'S HIGHLY APPRECIATED. JUST WILLING TO WANT EACH DEPARTMENT WILLING TO HELP EACH OTHER TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL.

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. SORRY I WAS LATE. ONE THING I'D LIKE TO ADD TO SORT OF THAT STAFF AND MANAGEMENT.

SORRY, THE STAFF AND MANAGEMENT LINE IS THE QUALITY OF OUR LEADERSHIP THROUGHOUT OUR DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, AND THAT COMES THROUGH WHEN WE HAVE CHALLENGES THAT FACE THE CITY.

SO WHETHER IT'S THE PALISADES AND HOW FIRE AND POLICE PULL TOGETHER AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS PULL TOGETHER TO HELP EACH OTHER OR PUBLIC WORKS OR EVEN GOING BACK TO COVID AND HOW THE CITY MET THAT CHALLENGE, AND A LOT OF IT COMES DOWN TO THE DEPTH OF OUR LEADERSHIP, NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, FROM AT THE VERY TOP, BUT THROUGHOUT THE STAFF.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK AND ADD MORE, BUT I'M GOING TO SWITCH TO WEAKNESSES SINCE THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE SOMEWHAT WITHIN OUR CONTROL.

RIGHT. SO THEY'RE NOT THREATS FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT KIND OF THE INTERNAL THINGS THAT ARE WEAKNESSES FOR US.

IS IT ALL RIGHT IF I'M A CONTRARIAN AND ACTUALLY TAKE SOME OF THE STRENGTHS AND CALL THOSE WEAKNESSES? BECAUSE I WOULD SAY THAT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS ACTUALLY A WEAKNESS, AND I WOULD SAY THAT ALSO THAT OUR PERCEIVED RESPONSE TO THE PUBLIC AT LEAST, IS A WEAKNESS.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THAT, AND THE LAST WEAKNESS THAT I'VE IDENTIFIED IS OUR CALLED OUR ECONOMIC SITUATION.

YEAH. WE CONTINUE TO RECEIVE $0 OF CONTRIBUTION FROM OUR AMAZING PARTNERS AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR CROSSING GUARDS.

FOR CROSSING GUARDS. OTHERS? YEAH. YOU'VE GOT AMAZING PARTNERS THERE. AMAZING.

[00:45:05]

OUR AMAZING PARTNERS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ALSO GIVE US ACCESS TO PARKS A VERY AFFORDABLE RATE.

YEAH. WEAKNESSES, INTERNAL WEAKNESSES. I THINK WE'VE GOT MORE PROJECTS AND TASKING THAN WE HAVE PEOPLE TO DO THEM. SO PRIORITIZATION AND OVERWORK ISSUES.

THERE'S THE THREAT. THAT'S A THREAT. NEVER MIND.

I WOULD SAY WE'RE WHILE WE'VE WE'VE HIRED SOME GREAT NEW STAFF, WE DO HAVE SOME WEAKNESSES IN SPECIFIC DISCIPLINES THAT ARE NEEDED TO SUPPORT THOSE PROJECTS, AND PARTICULARLY ACQUISITION AND CONTRACT MANAGEMENT.

YEAH, I WOULD SAY I WOULD ADD TO THAT, JANE, THAT WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF OF WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT AND ARE WORKING TOWARDS CREATING, I THINK, ENHANCED SYSTEMS AND TEMPLATES FOR CONTRACT ACQUISITION AND MANAGEMENT.

I THINK ALONG THOSE SAME LINES IS WE'VE DONE SO MUCH HIRING.

WE HAVE A VERY YOUNG TENURE, ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC SAFETY WHERE WE'VE LOST A LOT OF EXPERIENCED PEOPLE.

SO WE'VE REALLY HAD TO RAMP UP THE EDUCATIONAL PHASE FOR STAFF.

YEAH. WHAT ELSE? WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD INVENTORY OF EVERY BUILDING ASSET AND ITS CONDITION.

MARK. OTHERS? I WOULD SAY WE HAVE A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEMANDS FROM AN AGING AND UPDATING PERSPECTIVE. ON THE SUBJECT OF OUR ECONOMIC SITUATION, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE NECESSARILY WEAK, BUT WE HAVE GREATER DESIRES THAN WE CAN AFFORD TO SATISFY.

AROUND THE ECONOMIC POSITION. COMMUNITY SERVICE.

I THINK IN GENERAL. GOTCHA. ALSO KNOWN AS CHAMPAGNE TASTE ON A BEER BUDGET.

UNFUNDED MANDATES. I MIGHT TAKE THOSE. MIGHT BE THREATS.

YEAH. I'LL GET IT DOWN HERE. JUST MAKE SURE IT GETS UP THERE.

ALL RIGHT. WE CAN CERTAINLY COME BACK TO THAT, BUT LET'S MOVE TO OPPORTUNITIES.

SO THINGS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL, THAT COULD BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US.

I THINK WE CONTINUE TO LEAN INTO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION.

THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE GRANT MONEY THERE AND TO BUILD OUT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

MICRO MOBILITY? WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE? SOME OTHER GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR FACILITIES LIKE OUR SHOOTING RANGE.

THAT'S PRETTY SPECIFIC. [CHUCKLING] FOR A PARTICULAR GRANT OPPORTUNITY, FOR EXAMPLE.

FOR EXAMPLE. WHAT ELSE? I THINK WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE SAID THIS SOMEWHERE BEFORE, BUT WE HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT ENJOYS CONTRIBUTING TIME TO BETTER THE COMMUNITY.

YEAH, THAT'S BOTH A STRENGTH AND HOW YOU RECEIVE IT AND AN OPPORTUNITY JUST THEY'RE THERE TO DO THIS FOR YOU.

YEAH. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY WITH GREATER, NOT ENFORCEABLE I GUESS ENFORCEMENT WITH OUR E-BIKE SITUATION IF THE STATE CAN COME THROUGH ON SOME CHANGES.

YEAH. OTHER THINGS WITH THE STATE, OTHER OTHER THINGS IN THE STATE.

WE'RE IN ONE OF THE BEST LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD.

SO TOURISM POTENTIAL. MAYBE ADD ON TO THAT WITH THE UPCOMING SUPER BOWL, OLYMPICS, OLYMPICS AND WORLD CUP. I WAS LIKE, IS ANYTHING HAPPENING HERE? YES, WE GOT A LOT. SUPER BOWL, WORLD CUP AND OLYMPICS.

[00:50:07]

RIGHT, AND WHAT YOU ALL CAN DO IN THAT, BUT ALSO WHAT OTHERS NEED TO DO THERE.

YEAH. NOW THAT WE REMODELED THE TEEN CENTER, WE'VE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE NEW TEEN PROGRAMING, WHICH I'M SURE DIRECTOR HOUSE IS GOING TO BE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF.

RIGHT. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF OUR CONTROL.

ONE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ENHANCED PROSECUTION DUE TO LEADERSHIP CHANGES AT THE LA DA'S OFFICE, WHICH COULD HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON CRIME RATES IN THE CITY OF REDONDO.

OR YOU COULD JUST PUT NEW DA. YEAH. YEAH. THERE YOU GO.

WHAT ELSE? ACROSS THE STATE.

PAIGE? YES. WHEN IT'S ALREADY BEEN PASSED. THE DEFINITION OF GRAVE DISABILITY HAS CHANGED.

NOW THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US IS WHEN THEY ACTUALLY ACT ON THAT.

THANK YOU. WHAT'S THAT WITH REGARD TO. SO THAT'S IN REGARD TO AND YEAH, SOMEONE WITH MENTAL HEALTH OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. WE HAVE A POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY IN THE OUTCOME OF THE SITE, BUT THAT WILL ALSO BE A POTENTIAL THREAT DEPENDING ON THE OUTCOME OF THE.

WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK AROUND ARTESIA BOULEVARD.

IT, BUT I KICKED IT OFF HERE WITH UNFUNDED MANDATES.

SO WHAT ARE SOME OTHER THREATS? CUTS IN FUNDING? YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY ECONOMICS OR BUDGET CUTS, AND SO CUTS IN FUNDING, ANYTHING MORE SPECIFICALLY OR JUST KIND OF WE WERE ALERTED SECTION EIGHT BUDGETS IS AT RISK RIGHT NOW, BUT THE NEW ADMINISTRATION, WE DON'T KNOW W HAT WHAT'S GOING TO BE CUT FROM A FEDERAL PERSPECTIVE, AND THEN THE WEAK STATE BUDGET COULD IMPACT US AS WELL.

YEAH, I WOULD EXPAND ON THE SECTION EIGHT TO JUST SAY ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS, WHICH WE HAVE A SERIES OF.

WHAT ABOUT THE NEW ORGANIZATION FOR COUNTY WITH RESPECT TO HOUSING? IS THAT A THREAT OR AN OPPORTUNITY OR BOTH. YES.

THE UNKNOWN OF A NEW OR A NEW COUNTY ENTITY FOR HOUSING, FOR HOMELESSNESS.

I WOULD ADD THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT. JUST GIVEN THAT WE'RE DEPENDENT ON TOT AS A VOLATILE PART OF OUR BUDGET AND VERY SENSITIVE TO THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, AND IF I COULD ADD, I THINK SIMILARLY, THE POTENTIAL OVER DENSIFICATION OF OUR CITY AND THE NEGATIVE IMPACT THAT AND OTHER THINGS COULD HAVE ON THE FLOW OF VEHICLE TRAFFIC ON OUR STREETS AND THE AVAILABILITY OF RESIDENT PARKING, TWO OF WHICH ARE KEY QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES, AND THAT COULD COME UNDER THREAT BY CAPACITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN GENERAL, CAPACITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN GENERAL.

I THINK THERE'S A DIRECTION ASSOCIATED WITH OVER DENSIFICATION, AND I WOULD SAY THAT SCAG, RHNA HOUSING ALLOCATION FORMULA, AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET INTO THREATS WE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER.

THERE'S THE ENVIRONMENTAL EARTHQUAKES FIRES FLOODS ETC..

I WOULD SAY CLIMATE CHANGE IN GENERAL TOO. YEAH.

I WOULD ADD THAT THE LABOR AND MATERIAL SHORTAGES THAT MAY BE COMING DUE TO THE FIRES.

YEAH, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR US TO BUILD. YEAH.

[00:55:10]

YEAH. TARIFFS INFLATION. YEAH, BUT EVEN UNRELATED TO TARIFFS.

WE'RE SEEING HUGE COST GROWTH IN I THINK ALL OUR PROJECTS.

YEAH WE'VE SEEN SOME THINGS MORE THAN DOUBLE IN THE LAST YEAR.

TARIFFS AND RECONSTRUCTION IN THE PALISADES. YEAH.

I WOULD SAY JANE, TOO, IN THIS, CHAD MENTIONED THIS UNDER ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH SPECIFICALLY NOTING A REDUCTION IN A SOFTENING ECONOMY, BUT SPECIFICALLY REDUCTION IN TRAVEL AND SALES.

RETAIL SALES. SO WE HAD TOURISM ON ONE PIECE AND THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT. YEP, AND THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT COULD IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO STRETCH THE DOLLARS OF MEASURE FP COULD IMPACT THE INTEREST RATE ON THE BONDS, AND SPECIFICALLY THE TAX EXEMPTION STATUS UNDER THE LAW FOR MUNICIPAL BONDS. OKAY.

THE GREEN LINE.

PENDING LAWS, BILLS, THINGS THAT AFFECT STAFFING, AND ABILITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES IN THE CITY.

DO YOU SEE AN INCREASE IN CRIME? WELL, NO, I THINK THAT I MEAN, BASED ON OUR STATISTICS RIGHT NOW, WE'VE SEEN A POSITIVE EFFECT ON OUR CRIME RATES IN THE CITY, BUT A LOT OF THESE FACTORS HERE ARE GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THEY PLAY OUT WITH THE COST OF GOODS. IF WE'RE GOING TO SEE AN INCREASE IN THEFT RELATED OFFENSES OR SOME OF THE BILLS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY PENDING, THAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE CHALLENGING FROM AN ENFORCEMENT STANDPOINT, NOT SO MUCH IN REDONDO, BUT REGIONALLY. THAT WOULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON US.

YEAH.

PROBABLY ALONG THE SAME LINES, IF THERE IS MAJOR ECONOMIC CHANGES THAT COULD LEAD TO MORE MEDICAL AIDS AND, YOU KNOW, AN INCREASED RELIANCE ON EMERGENCIES.

I THINK ONE THING THAT WE'VE SEEN RELATED TO THE FIRES WAS THE CHALLENGES THAT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES FACED RECENTLY IN THE FALLOUT OF THAT AND THE CONFIDENCE THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE IN PUBLIC SAFETY, REGIONALLY OR NOT, THAT CITY GOVERNMENT, NOT PUBLIC SAFETY, CITY GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE STATE OF READINESS FOR EMERGENCIES, EVENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. CONTINUED INACTION AT THE GALLERIA SITE? YES.

WOULD YOU SAY IN GENERAL THAT LUKEWARM FUNDING MARKET FOR COMMERCIAL? YEAH. I MEAN CAPITAL, YEAH. INTEREST RATES ARE CAPITAL.

INTEREST RATES ARE STILL A THREAT.

OH, CONVERSION OF OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES INTO RESIDENTIAL IT LONG TERM REDUCTION IN ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY.

CONVERSION OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL.

[01:00:08]

THAT'S A LOT OF TYPING REALLY QUICKLY, BUT WHERE DO WE GET.

THERE. PART OF IT THAT WILL TAKE US TO OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS TO REVISIT THE CITY'S THREE YEAR STRATEGIC GOALS.

I'LL JUST ASK A QUESTION HERE. OR AM I DUE FOR A PUBLIC COMMENT? I THINK AFTER AFTER THAT ONE. OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. LET ME PAUSE FOR A SECOND AND I WILL SWITCH SCREENS AND TEE UP THIS NEXT CONVERSATION.

SO A COUPLE OF THINGS BEFORE WE DIVE INTO THIS GOALS CONVERSATION, JUST TO FRAME IT MAYBE JUST SOME THINGS FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT AS WE HEAD INTO THIS.

SO I'VE RECENTLY BEEN DOING SOME STRATEGIC PLANNING WITH A VERY LARGE UNIVERSITY, AND I HAVE A DEAN INVOLVED WHO IS A SELF-PROFESSED SKEPTICAL OF STRATEGIC PLANNING.

HE LIKES TO REMIND ME OF THAT ALL THE TIME, BUT HE DOES COME IN WITH SOME REALLY GREAT PERSPECTIVES, AND ONE THING THAT HE SHARED THE OTHER DAY WITH THE WITH THE TEAM THAT WAS DOING THE PLANNING WAS IF THIS STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE END UP WRITING LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BELONG TO ANY UNIVERSITY, THEN IT'S NOT US, RIGHT? THEN WE DIDN'T HIT THE MARK, RIGHT? AND SO YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT'S REDONDO SPECIFIC? WHAT A REALLY, TRULY THE CITY OF REDONDO. PRIORITIES.

NEXT PIECE IS WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUSINESS AS USUAL AND STRATEGIC.

RIGHT, AND SO WHAT DO WE WANT TO CALL OUT THERE.

IN THAT EXAMPLE YOU COULD SAY WE WANT TO EDUCATE STUDENTS.

SURE. KIND OF A GIVEN. RIGHT. IT'S A UNIVERSITY.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE THERE TO DO. SO THAT'S SORT OF THE BUSINESS AS USUAL, BUT WHEN THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT IT STRATEGICALLY, WHAT DO THEY WANT TO DO DIFFERENTLY AROUND EDUCATING STUDENTS? HOW DO THEY WANT TO THINK OF IT? WHAT DO THEY WANT TO PRIORITIZE.

IN THEIR INSTANCE, IT'S MORE OF BEYOND THE CLASSROOM LEARNING, AND YOU KNOW, CAREER PREP, WHICH WE KNOW THAT STUDENTS ARE ASKING FOR. SO WHAT'S THE FOCUS IN WHAT WE'RE SETTING OUT TO DO? ANOTHER PIECE THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW IS JUST THE PRIORITIES, RIGHT? WHAT'S YOUR REALITY? WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU? IT SOUNDS LIKE FP MEASURE FP IS GOING TO BE LARGE AND IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, AND THE PUBLIC LET YOU KNOW THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT THEY WANT TO GO, AND SO I'M ASSUMING THAT TAKES SOME, SOME STAFF ATTENTION, AND SO WE'LL JUST WANT TO KEEP THE REALITIES OF MAYBE THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED SINCE WE LAST SET SOME OF THESE GOALS AND PRIORITIES OUT. YEAH, AND JUST WHERE DO WE, WHERE DO WE WANT TO START TO ADJUST ON ON OUR PRIORITIES AND, AND BE REALLY CLEAR WHAT A PRIORITY IS. SO MOVING THINGS TO THE TOP OF THE LIST AND REALLY COMMUNICATING THAT THIS IS YOUR CURRENT GOALS. WE DID MAKE LIKE 1 OR 2 SMALL ADJUSTMENTS LAST YEAR, BUT AS YOU SEE THESE AGAIN, AND MAYBE WITH SOME OF WHAT I JUST SAID, ANYTHING COMING UP FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE ANY CITY, AND DEFINITELY COULD ADD OR REPLACE A GOAL.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YOU WANT TO HAVE, BUT ACTING ON FP WOULD DEFINITELY BE SOMETHING THAT SETS IT APART AND MAKES IT. THAT'S REDONDO'S SPECIFIC GOAL.

THAT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF LIKE, THAT'S REDONDO-SPECIFIC.

IT ABSOLUTELY IS. RIGHT. YOU GOT FUNDED FOR THAT.

YEAH. I JUST WONDER IF WE NEED TO FIRST DECIDE HOW LONG ARE THESE GOALS GOING TO GOVERN US OR OUR POLICIES.

RIGHT. BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SIX MONTH GOALS THAT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT THAN ONE YEAR GOALS.

YEAH. GREAT QUESTION. SO THE TIME HORIZON THAT WE HAD SPOKEN ABOUT LAST TIME, AND I THINK THE ONE THAT YOU'VE HAD FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW IS SORT OF A ROLLING THREE YEAR MARK, AND WE REVISIT THOSE GOALS DURING THAT TIME, AND THEN INSIDE OF THERE, THERE'S KIND OF SOME SIX MONTH PROJECTS OR PHASES OF PRODUCT

[01:05:09]

THE GOALS ARE USUALLY THREE THREE YEARS IN NATURE.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO ZEIN'S POINT, I THINK IN DIFFERENT DISCUSSIONS, HAVE DECIDED ON WHETHER OR NOT THE OBJECTIVES THEMSELVES WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN THAT SIX MONTH WINDOW, OR WE'VE EVEN HAD A TEN MONTH KIND OF SCHEDULE AT ONE POINT.

WE'VE HAD IT BE AS MUCH AS A YEAR. SO IT IS A GOOD I THINK IT'S A GOOD QUESTION PARTICULARLY AS WE GET TO THE OBJECTIVE SECTION OF THIS CONVERSATION, BUT WE SHOULD DECIDE, ARE THESE ARE THESE TRULY THREE YEAR GOALS, OR ARE THESE GOALS THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING FOR EITHER A SHORTER OR LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

I THINK THREE HAS SERVED US WELL. GENERALLY SPEAKING, I DON'T PUSH MUCH, MUCH PAST THREE.

THESE DAYS IT'S PRETTY UNPREDICTABLE. SO THREE IS ABOUT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN PLAN FOR.

I MEAN, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE TO ME, VITALIZE COMMERCIAL AREAS, THAT'S PRETTY GENERIC, AND WE COULD SAY THAT FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS.

SO TO ME, A GOOD LONG TERM GOAL, THAT'S MAYBE MORE THAN THREE, BUT MORE SPECIFIC IS TO ACHIEVE OR EXCEED PARITY WITH THE BUSINESS GROWTH AND REVENUES FROM OTHER CITIES FROM NEIGHBORING CITIES, AND THAT GIVES YOU A SPECIFIC TARGET IN MIND, AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, A SHORTER WINDOW THAN JUST FOREVER VITALIZE THE COMMERCIAL, AND THEN WE CAN BUNDLE, YOU KNOW, OBJECTIVES MORE INTO LIKE ARTESIA, THE HARBOR, PCH, AND THOSE COULD BE ONE YEAR, THREE YEAR, FIVE YEAR GOALS BECAUSE WE CAN'T ACHIEVE ALL THOSE, YOU KNOW, TOGETHER, BUT THAT LEADS TO A MORE SPECIFIC LONG TERM GOAL WITH SOME MEASURABLE SHORT TERM TERMS. I THINK SIX MONTHS IS MORE.

TO ME, SIX MONTHS IS A TACTICAL AND NOT STRATEGIC.

YEAH. SO I HEAR THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE OUTCOME CONSTRUCTED AROUND AN OUTCOME HERE WHICH IS MEASURABLE, AND YOU CAN YOU CAN SAY I'VE ACHIEVED IT WHERE VITALIZE JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, AND I'M NOT TRYING JUST A SIMPLE ONE.

VITALIZE COMMERCIAL AREAS. WHEN DO YOU ACHIEVE THAT.

RIGHT, RIGHT. YEAH, AND I THINK HOW WE FRAME THE LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY TO THE GOAL IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO HELP DEFINE ITS TENURE.

THAT THE MAYOR'S SUGGESTION, THAT PARTICULAR GOAL WOULD TAKE PROBABLY MUCH LONGER THAN THREE YEARS TO ACTUALLY ACHIEVE.

THAT'S PROBABLY MORE A 5 TO 10 YEAR GOAL, BUT IF WE'RE GETTING MORE SPECIFIC AS IT PERTAINS TO LIKE A THREE YEAR GOAL, ONE OF THE THINGS AND I COULDN'T AGREE MORE VITALIZE COMMERCIAL AREAS OF THE CITY IS BASICALLY INDEFINITE. IT'S ROLLING. I'D LIKE TO SEE US ACTUALLY THINK THROUGH SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS IN THAT AREA, AND THREE THINGS COME TO MIND FOR ME, JUST HIGH LEVEL, BECAUSE I'VE HEARD THIS CONSISTENTLY FROM THE COUNCIL AND SOME OF OUR NEW COUNCILMEMBER S AS WELL.

WE WANT TO SEE VITALIZATION, REVITALIZATION ON ARTESIA BOULEVARD.

BASICALLY, THAT'S AN AREA THAT'S, I THINK, A PRIORITY THAT HAS MORE OF A THREE YEAR HORIZON.

WE CERTAINLY WANT TO CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS AND HAVE MUCH MORE WORK TO DO IN REVITALIZING THE WATERFRONT.

WE'VE GOT PROGRESS, BUT WE'VE GOT, I THINK, ACHIEVABLE OUTCOMES WITHIN A THREE YEAR HORIZON THERE AS WELL, AND THEN I THINK MORE COLLECTIVELY, THERE'S THIS NOTION OF US BECOMING A MORE BUSINESS FRIENDLY CITY AND IMPROVING OUR LEVEL OF SERVICE WITH THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND SORT OF A PUBLIC ENGINEERING, KIND OF PRIVATE ENGINEERING RIGHT OF WAY ACTIVITY.

SO KIND OF OUR PERMIT FUNCTIONS THAT THOSE THOSE TO ME ARE THREE YEAR HORIZON CONCEPTS.

ECONOMIC VITALITY IS A LONGER TERM KIND OF, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY A STANDARD WE WANT TO MAINTAIN.

IT'S ALMOST A CORE VALUE, REALLY. FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY IS TECHNICALLY OUR CORE VALUE, BUT THAT IS PART AND PARCEL TO THAT.

SO I THINK AS WE LOOK AT THE GOALS THIS YEAR, WHATEVER, WHATEVER HORIZON WE SETTLE ON, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TALK ABOUT WHAT IS TRULY PRIORITY TO THE COUNCIL. WE'VE KIND OF PRIDED OURSELVES ON THE GOALS NOT BEING IN PRIORITY ORDER.

RIGHT. SO WE DIDN'T GET BOGGED DOWN ON KIND OF WHAT WE WANTED TO FOCUS ON FIRST, AND WE WOULD GET THROUGH ALL OF THEM AND BE CONTENT, BUT WE NEED TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME ON, I THINK, COALESCING AROUND WHAT ARE WHAT'S KIND OF THE RANK ORDER HERE.

WHERE ARE WE APPLYING OUR RESOURCES? BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TYPICALLY WE HAVE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 60 AND 80 OBJECTIVES IN EACH PLAN, AND ALL OF US KNOW GOING INTO IT, THERE'S NOT A NOT A CHANCE IN YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY EXECUTE ALL 60 OBJECTIVES.

SO AT SOME POINT WE GOT TO GET MORE REALISTIC ABOUT WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON, WHY WE'RE WORKING ON IT, AND WHAT WE EXPECT TO ACHIEVE. SO I'D LIKE US TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME IN NOT JUST FIGURING OUT WHAT THOSE GOALS ARE,

[01:10:02]

IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE COMMITTED TO DOING, WHETHER IT'S AT THE TOP OF THE LIST OR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST.

I THINK IT'S OKAY TO HAVE A GOAL OR OBJECTIVE OR WHATEVER NOMENCLATURE WE USE THAT WE DON'T INTEND TO PRIORITIZE, BUT THAT SIGNALS, AS WE LOOK IN THE FUTURE AND AS WE ACCOMPLISH STUFF THAT ROLLS TO THE TOP, OR IF TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY COMES ALONG. YEP.

FUTURE OBJECTIVES I THINK ARE VERY HELPFUL TOOL FOR US RECOGNIZING, HEY, THESE ARE GREAT IDEAS THERE.

MAYBE THEY'RE NOT QUITE RIPE FROM AN INITIATIVE STANDPOINT OR A STAFF RESOURCE, A STAFF RESOURCE STANDPOINT, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING WE'RE THINKING ABOUT AND SIGNALING TO THE COMMUNITY ARE ARE ON OUR MIND IF NOT CURRENTLY ALLOCATED, YOU KNOW, TIME AND ENERGY, AND WE'VE USED WE USED THAT TOOL MORE EFFECTIVELY, I THINK IN THIS LAST ROUND OF OBJECTIVES THAN WE HAD IN THE PAST.

WE IN YEARS AGO, WE'D HAVE MAYBE 1 OR 2 FUTURE OBJECTIVES IN TOTALITY.

THIS THIS YEAR WE HAD KIND OF FUTURE OBJECTIVES IN VIRTUALLY EVERY CATEGORY.

WELL. IN AN EFFORT TO NOT START WITH A BLANK SLATE, I DID GO THROUGH AND I DIGESTED QUITE A BIT OF THIS PLAN.

IT WAS IT WAS ALL NEW TO ME LAST YEAR, BUT NOW I THINK I GOT IT, I MEMORIZED THE WHOLE THING, AND I'VE SPOKEN TO OUR COUNCIL, I'VE SPOKEN TO EVERYBODY ON THIS, AND SO BASED ON WHAT I HEARD, BASED ON WHAT I SEE, I WANT TO PROPOSE A POSSIBILITY FOR YOU TO REACT TO.

THIS IS JUST AN IDEA. INSTEAD OF GOING, HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO SAY? HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, RIGHT, AND SO LET'S START THERE AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS FOR US. UNFORTUNATELY, MIKE ALREADY STOLE MY THUNDER ON THE FIRST ONE, BUT THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT I WAS HEARING, THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT I WAS SEEING, AND THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT WAS KIND OF POPPING OUT IN THE PLAN AND TALKING WITH PEOPLE WAS THIS VITALIZED COMMERCIAL AREAS.

ON THE PLAN, ONE OF THE OTHER PIECES TO PICK UP ON IS IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME EFFORTS THAT COULD BE BUNDLED, AND SO AS I STARTED TO BUNDLE, THERE WAS WATERFRONT ALL OVER THE PLAN.

RIGHT. IT WAS SHOWING UP IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PLACES.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT ALL CONNECTS AROUND THE WATERFRONT, AND SO THAT COULD BE A FOCUS.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO END UP CALLING IT A STRATEGIC GOAL OR AN OBJECTIVE HERE. ARTESIA ALSO SHOWED UP ON THERE, AND THEN PCH WAS ON THERE, BUT KIND OF JUST A MENTION OF A OF A FUTURE PLAN COMING DOWN THE LINE.

MAYBE THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE YOU'RE SIGNALING, AND THEN THE OTHER WAS JUST HOW TO MAKE IT, HOW TO ATTRACT BUSINESSES, HOW TO MAKE IT EASIER.

SO THIS IS PROPOSED LANGUAGE. THIS IS ALL ME, AND I DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.

SO YOU CAN PICK THIS APART. I JUST WANTED US TO START WITH SOMETHING AND SEE WHAT THE REACTIONS ARE.

ALL RIGHT. I ALREADY GOT A THUMBS UP. SO. YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK FOR ME, THOSE ARE IN THEMSELVES.

I WOULD SAY THAT THEY ARE GOALS, NOT OBJECTIVES, BECAUSE EACH OF THOSE INITIATIVES, HOWEVER WE WANT TO PHRASE THEM, ARE GOING TO TAKE A SERIES OF OBJECTIVES TO ULTIMATELY ACCOMPLISH THAT GOAL.

RIGHT. IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT STRENGTHENING THE ECONOMIC VITALITY OF THE WATERFRONT OR REVITALIZING THE WATERFRONT, WE DON'T DO THAT WITH ONE OBJECTIVE OR ACTION.

WE DO THAT WITH A SERIES AND OR A SUCCESSION OF ACTIONS, RIGHT? SO THAT TO ME, LENDS ITSELF TO MORE OF A THREE YEAR HORIZON THAN A 6 OR 6 MONTH OR SINGLE YEAR HORIZON, AND THE SAME IS TRUE FOR ARTESIA. PERHAPS NOT.

THERE'S NOT AS MUCH COMPLEXITY OR DIVERSITY IN THE ARTESIA OBJECTIVES, BUT THERE ARE A SERIES OF OBJECTIVES THAT WOULD RELATE TO A GOAL OF REVITALIZING ARTESIA, WHETHER IT BE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE A CAP, OR, MORE SPECIFICALLY, DOING THE THING THAT EACH OF THE INITIATIVES WITHIN THE A CAP HAVE THEIR OWN KIND OF SEQUENCE, PROCEDURE AND TIME FRAME.

SO, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERATION OF THE FLOOR AREA RATIO CAPS THAT WE'VE STARTED THE PROCESS ON REVISITING THE DIFFERENT OPEN SPACE OR, OR SETBACK REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED AS PART OF OUR REGULATORY FRAMEWORK, THE PARKING RESTRICTIONS THAT WE HAVE MODIFIED AND MAY WANT TO REVISIT FOR FURTHER MODIFICATIONS I MEAN, EVEN REGULATORY ACTIVITIES ALONG ARTESIA.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A SIGNAGE ORDINANCE OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD IMPROVE THE QUALITY OR THE CONDITION OF MAINTENANCE STANDARDS ON SOME OF OUR COMMERCIAL SPACES THAT HAVE A TENDENCY TO HAVE ABSENTEE LANDLORDS OR OWNERSHIP STRUCTURES.

SO I THINK CLEARLY ARTESIA HAS AN ABILITY TO BE A STANDALONE GOAL, AND THEN LASTLY, THERE'S A TON OF WORK THAT'S OCCURRING WITHIN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. IT WAS INITIATED WITH THE ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT, THE STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORTS.

[01:15:01]

RIGHT? IN A SENSE, IMPROVING SERVICES. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH THE SNAP OF THE FINGER.

THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH ONE ACTION OR A SINGLE OBJECTIVE.

IT TAKES A SERIES OF OBJECTIVES OVER QUITE A FEW MONTHS, AS YOU WELL KNOW.

SO I SEE ALL OF THOSE AS GOALS, NOT OBJECTIVES, AND I SEE THEM HAVING MULTIPLE OBJECTIVES, WHETHER THEY BE SIX MONTH OR A YEAR UNDERNEATH THEM, AND THEN WHETHER OR NOT WE CREATE THIS CATEGORY OF PRIORITY OR BUCKET, THAT'S FINE, BUT I DO THINK WE NEED TO WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC GOALS, AND THEN FROM THERE WORK THE WORK THE SUB OBJECTIVES.

DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF PRIORITIZATION.

SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE FIRST OFF THAT WE ALL HAVE A COMMON AGREEMENT ON WHAT IS THAT PRIORITY, AND SECOND, AS PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT WHAT SHOULD I BE SPENDING MY TIME ON, YOU KNOW, THE PRIORITIES DRIVE THAT .

YEAH. I WOULD SAY I MEAN, THESE ARE GOOD. I WOULD I MEAN, 1.3 IS REALLY AIMED AT GETTING A REPUTATION OF BEING BUSINESS FRIENDLY, WHICH WE DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE ADD THAT IN THERE, AND I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, WE MISSED I WOULD ACTUALLY ADD TWO BROAD GOALS.

ONE IS FOR THE PCH CORRIDOR, BUT THAT'S LOWER PRIORITY, BUT THE SAME THINGS WE'RE DOING TO HELP ARTESIA, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT FOR PCH BECAUSE IT'S IN PRETTY, PRETTY BAD STATE, AND THEN THE SECOND IS IT KIND OF TIES TO 1.3, BUT I THINK THERE'S IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, AND THAT IS TO BE PROACTIVE IN IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IN GOING AFTER THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES WE WANT AND THE TYPE OF BUSINESSES WE WANT TO RETAIN.

SO IT'S ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF DESIRABLE BUSINESSES INSTEAD OF THE WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IS KIND OF REACTIVE, LET LET BUSINESSES COME TO US, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE GET 15 SMOKE SHOPS.

YEAH. RIGHT. SO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WAS THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT CAME UP FROM THE COUNCIL.

SO I WANT TO HEAR FROM OTHERS ON THIS. OR ARE WE CAPTURING WHAT YOU WERE THINKING HERE? THIS IS YOUR NUMBER ONE. SO, WE COUNT I T NUMBER ONE.

OTHERS? YEAH I MEAN I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR ON THAT 1.4 SHOULD BE PCH.

WHILE WE DON'T NECESSARILY PUT ANYTHING OBJECTIVES IN THAT CATEGORY RIGHT NOW TO ADDRESS IT, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T LOSE SIGHT OF THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REFOCUS ON, YOU KNOW, A YEAR OR TWO YEARS DOWN THE LINE. SHOULD IT BE A FUTURE OBJECTIVE OR IN THIS ROUND, I MEAN, WE ALREADY HAVE ARTESIA ROLLING. I THINK THAT SHOULD BE PRIORITY.

I MEAN, NOT THAT PCH IS NOT IMPORTANT, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE THE A CAP SO.

RIGHT. SO FUTURE OBJECTIVE, BUT I MEAN IF THIS IS A THREE YEAR GOAL DOCUMENT THEN IT COULD BE A THREE YEAR GOAL IS TO GET STARTED ON THAT RIGHT.

YEAH. I MEAN WE COULD I HEAR LIKE IF WE'RE TRYING TO BE REALLY CLEAR AND SPECIFIC, WE COULD TAKE THAT OFF.

WE WON'T FORGET IT NEXT TIME AROUND. IT'LL BE ON THERE, BUT WE COULD ALSO HAVE IT, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT HIT IT. THESE ARE ROLLING. WE COULD HIT IT IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. OTHERS.

CHAD. BASICALLY, ACTUALLY, ON MY NOTES, I HAD IT OUTLINED THE SAME WAY WHERE UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IT WAS UNDER ARTESIA IN THE WATERFRONT, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, JUST SORT OF A GENERAL ATTRACT AND RETAIN BUSINESSES HERE IN THE CITY OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. EXCELLENT, BUT I MEAN, THAT'S NOT TO ME.

GOAL 11.3 ISN'T WRITTEN AT LEAST TO COVER EVERYTHING I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

JUST BY IMPROVING PERMITTING PROCESSES. THAT DOESN'T PUT US IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF WHO COMES HERE.

SO THERE HAS TO BE A PROACTIVE ELEMENT OF THAT, AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT'S PART OF ONE, THREE OR A SEPARATE GOAL. I WOULD ARGUE THAT EACH OF THOSE NEED A MORE 1112 AND ONE THREE.

THESE ARE WE'RE GETTING INTO A LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY THAT I DON'T THINK WE WOULD WRITE INTO THE THREE YEAR GOAL. I THINK WE GOT TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE SIMPLER.

YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IT IS, YOU KNOW, BECOME A.

DESTINATION. YOU BECOME A BUSINESS DESTINATION AND IMPROVE IMPROVE RESPONSE, RESPONSIVENESS TO THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY OR, YOU KNOW, BUSINESS COMMUNITY, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE, AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE FROM THERE, EACH OF THOSE, I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES POTENTIALLY WITHIN THAT, THAT SUB WORDING THERE. IT GOT TO A DETAIL LEVEL.

YEAH. SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO ROLL THOSE TITLES UP A LITTLE BIT TO THE BROADER THREE YEAR GOAL HORIZON.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO WORDSMITH ALL THIS HERE. NO, WE ARE NOT.

[01:20:01]

NO, THAT'S I THINK THE INTENTION HERE IS ONCE WE ESTABLISH THESE PRIORITY GOALS, THEN WE WILL START TO, ON A HIGH LEVEL BASIS, SKETCH OUT WHAT THE OBJECTIVES KIND OF LOOK LIKE, AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK WITH MORE SPECIFIC TITLES FOR YOU AND MORE SPECIFIC DESCRIPTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET ME TRY ANOTHER ONE ON YOU.

NUMBER TWO. PUBLIC SAFETY. LET'S SEE, WHAT NUMBER WAS IT BEFORE? I THINK IT WAS PUBLIC SAFETY WAS FIFTH BEFORE.

AGAIN, THESE WEREN'T IN PRIORITY ORDER FOR YOU, BUT IF WE WANTED TO CALL SOMETHING OUT SOONER THAN LATER, WHAT I HEARD WAS POLICE AND FIRE FACILITIES. THAT'S WHAT'S COMING UP.

THIS WAS THE SECOND BIGGEST THING THAT CAME UP IN THE DISCUSSION.

SO JUST PUTTING THIS OUT THERE NOW. YEAH, AND THAT'S CLEARLY A THREE YEAR GOAL.

PLUS IMPLEMENTING MEASURE IS LIKELY GOING TO TAKE US SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 3 AND 5 YEARS, BUT THAT TO ME HAS TO BE ONE OF OUR PRIORITY KEY GOALS THAT ARE IT'S FUNNY, IN THE FIRST SIX MONTH CYCLE THERE WON'T BE THAT MANY OBJECTIVES UNDER THERE, BUT AFTER THAT FIRST SIX MONTHS OR FIRST EIGHT MONTHS, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT, QUITE A FEW, SO THAT ONE HAS TO BE TOP OF MIND, AND WE THAT HAS TO COLOR VIRTUALLY ALL OF OUR RESOURCE ALLOCATION, PARTICULARLY IN PUBLIC SAFETY. RIGHT. SO WHAT MAY HAPPEN HERE IS THE FOCUS ON FP MAY TAKE AWAY SOME FOCUS ON OTHER THINGS, AND IT HAS TO IT HAS TO CONSTRAINTS. YEAH. WE CAN WE WILL YOU KNOW WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES IN OUR COMMUNITY AND WE HAVE ACHIEVED THAT, AND WE WILL DO THE THINGS THAT HAVE BROUGHT US TO THAT POINT, BUT WE WON'T, OUR CREATIVITY IS GOING TO SHIFT TOWARDS BUILDING QUALITY POLICE, POLICE AND FIRE FACILITIES. YEAH, I WAS GOING TO ADD YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO IF WE OCCUPY TEMPORARY STRUCTURES WITH OUR POLICE OR FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE QUICK RESPONSES DURING, DURING THE TRANSITION.

YEAH. SO THE CONTINUITY THROUGHOUT THE TRANSITION IS THAT 'S PROBABLY PART OF THE TRANSITION.

IT IS, AND IN FACT WILL BE PART OF THE OBJECTIVES UNDERNEATH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MEASURE P WILL BE IDENTIFYING AND OCCUPYING PROCURING TEMPORARY FACILITIES IN WHATEVER FORM OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY CALLS FOR.

OKAY. CHAD? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR BOTH CHIEFS.

DO YOU THINK AS WE IMPLEMENT MEASURE FP, WILL THAT PRESENT ANY CHALLENGES TO YOU RETAINING AND ATTRACTING PERSONNEL OVER THE NEXT 3 TO 5 YEARS AS WE. I THINK IT ENHANCES IT. RIGHT. ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN, I'VE ACTUALLY IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN CHIEF, I'VE DONE INTERVIEWS WHERE RECRUITS HAVE ACTUALLY MADE COMMENTS, WHERE IT COMES DOWN TO US OR ANOTHER AGENCY, AND THEY LIKE THE SHINY COIN.

THEY'RE NOT LOOKING, THEY'RE NOT THINKING TEN, 15, 20 YEARS AHEAD.

BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A GREAT CITY AND EVERYTHING THAT IT OFFERS, IT'S LIKE, WELL, LET ME SEE THE GEM, YOU KNOW, AND I'M, YOU KNOW, OR LET ME SEE THE RANGE.

I MEAN, PEOPLE ASK THOSE TYPES OF THESE 21-22 YEAR-OLDS, THEY ASK THOSE TYPE OF QUESTIONS.

IT'S LIKE THEY WANT THAT SHINY COIN. SO BY HAVING A STATE OF THE ART FACILITY WITH ALL THOSE AMENITIES, I THINK IT'S GOING TO 100% ENHANCE OUR RECRUITMENT ABILITY.

MY QUESTION IS MORE OF OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS AS WE'RE BUILDING THAT OUT AND IF WE'RE IN TEMPORARY, YOU KNOW, BUILDINGS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS WE BUILD THE NEW STATIONS, IS THAT GOING TO PRESENT A PROBLEM FOR YOU OVER THE NEXT? WELL, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE TOO EARLY TO TELL BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT TEMPORARY FACILITY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. I MEAN, THERE'S A CHANCE THAT WE MAY STAY IN THE EXISTING FACILITY AND CONSTRUCT A NEW FACILITY ADJACENT TO IT.

SO IT WOULD I THINK THAT WOULD ENHANCE RECRUITMENT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE, YEAH, WE'RE IN THIS, BUT LOOK WHAT WE'RE GETTING. YOU KNOW, IF ALL OF A SUDDEN WE'RE SCATTERED ABOUT IN A VARIETY OF BUILDINGS, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO HAVE TOO MUCH OF AN IMPACT ON OUR RECRUITMENT ABILITY.

IT MIGHT JUST LOGISTICALLY MAKE THINGS A LITTLE BIT MORE CHALLENGING, BUT HONESTLY, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOO EARLY TO TELL ON THAT.

OKAY. YEAH, I WOULD AGREE WITH CHIEF THAT IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO ENHANCE OUR ABILITY BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE APPLYING FOR OUR AGENCIES, IT'S ENTRY LEVEL. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 20 TO 30 YEAR OLD PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO WORK HERE.

FIRE DEPARTMENT 20 TO 30 YEARS. I MEAN, THEY WANT TO SEE THE NEW STATIONS, AND IT'S JUST MORE OF AN EXCITEMENT, I BELIEVE, THAN, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW. IT'S KIND OF WEAKNESS IF YOU COMPARE OUR FACILITIES TO OTHER FACILITIES.

OKAY. ARE YOU SAYING OUR ARCHAIC AND DILAPIDATED SHOOTING RANGE IS A DETERRENT TO RECRUITING? [CHUCKLING] THAT'S A JOKE. WE LEAVE THAT OUT WHEN WE DO THE FINAL INTERVIEW.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE BUILD MODERN, SAFE AND RESILIENT POLICE AND FIRE FACILITIES KIND OF CAPTURES WHAT WE'RE THINKING WITH FP.

WE COULD ALSO CALL THAT OUT SPECIFICALLY. I THINK WE WANT TO PUT FP IN THE GOAL BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS IT.

THEY KNOW THEY VOTED ON IT. THEY WANT TO SEE IT ACHIEVED.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THIS IS FROM A CITIZENS OVERSIGHT AND COMMUNICATION STANDPOINT.

[01:25:01]

I'VE DONE OTHER BONDS. I WAS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD FOR BONDS, AND IF YOU TAKE A LONG TIME, IT JUST COSTS MORE.

YES. SO THE FACT THAT WE'RE EMPHASIZING, WE'RE MAKING SURE WE'RE DOING IT AS QUICKLY AS IS REASONABLE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO TOO FAST, BUT GOING QUICKLY AND GETTING THROUGH IT AND NOT JUST SAYING, HEY, LET'S JUST WAIT A LITTLE BIT LONGER. LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS LONGER. LET'S PUT THIS INTO A SECOND PHASE THAT JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT NOW, IF WE CAN'T DO IT, THAT'S GREAT, BUT I THINK HAVING THE IMMEDIACY OF THAT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT.

WONDERFUL. GREAT. I HOPE WE'RE NOT THROWING OUT THE BABY WITH THE BATHWATER.

I MEAN, WE SHOULDN'T FOCUS ON FP SO MUCH THAT WE EXCLUDE THE OTHER GOOD THINGS THAT ARE STILL HAPPENING.

YOU KNOW FOR PUBLIC SAFETY WE SEEM TO BE A LEADER IN ADOPTING AND FUNDING TECHNOLOGY THROUGH GRANTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE SHOULD WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE THAT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE SO FOCUSED ON SOME BUILDINGS.

NO, NO, AND WE WON'T. I MEAN, WHAT WE'VE DONE TO ACHIEVE THE WHAT I WOULD CALL THE.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE LITERALLY A CLASS ONE FACILITY.

CLASS ONE DEPARTMENT FOR FIRE. WE ARE THE PLATINUM STANDARD FOR POLICING IN THE REGION.

WE WILL MAINTAIN THAT LEVEL OF OPERATION. WELL, I MEAN.

I GUESS THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE WE DOING? ARE WE GOING TO LIST OBJECTIVES UNDER THERE THAT ARE BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR US? BECAUSE TO ME, IF WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE REFLECT WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON AS A I MEAN, IF IT'S PART OF OUR NORMAL WORK PLAN, I DEFER TO THE TWO DEPARTMENTS.

WELL, ONE OF THE BIG ONES WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS KIND OF A NEW CONCEPT, IS THE WELLNESS PROGRAMING. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY TO WORK THAT IN THERE, BUT THAT'S. YEAH, IT IS.

I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF AN INTERNAL ACTIVITY AT THIS POINT.

YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S NOT VERY OUTWARD FACING. I MEAN, IT'S GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT WE'VE INVESTED IN THAT, AND IT'S A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM. I JUST WONDER WHAT LEVEL OF STRATEGIC ACTIVITY DO WE NEED NOW? WELL, I THINK PERTAINING TO THAT, TO ME, IT'S A BLESSING OF THE COUNCIL FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE, ASSUMING WE ALL APPROVE IT, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE SUPPORT USING TECHNOLOGY AND OTHER TOOLS TO KEEP OUR PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU KNOW, LEADING EDGE, AND WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE.

WE DON'T WANT TO FALL BEHIND, AND SO MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE OBJECTIVES WITH THAT, BUT JUST TO STATE THAT CLEARLY THAT 'S A POLICY DIRECTION.

I MEAN, YOU LOOK AT THE AERODOME AND WHAT'S THAT DONE FOR US? THE WHAT'S THE THING THAT AUTOMATICALLY--AUTO PULSE--I MEAN, THAT STUFF OTHER FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENTS DON'T HAVE AROUND US.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO LOSE THAT STRATEGIC COMMITMENT, SO TO SPEAK, IN PHILOSOPHY, I MEAN, I WOULD I AGREE WITH YOU.

WE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT WANT TO LOSE THAT. I FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB BUILDING THAT INTO OUR CULTURE, BUT IF REFLECTING THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE PLAN HELPS THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS SOMETHING YOU JUST DON'T REST ON YOUR LAURELS. RIGHT, AND THEN THE THIRD AREA FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY, I DON'T KNOW IF IT QUITE FITS, BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE NEED TO KEEP FOCUSING ON IMPROVING OUR HOMELESS PROGRAM BECAUSE IT'S NOT COMPLETE YET. WE HAVE FAMILIES THAT DON'T HAVE PLACES.

WE CAN'T PUT THEM UP. WE'RE WEAK ON THE MENTAL HEALTH SIDE, I THINK, OR COULD DO BETTER ON THE MENTAL HEALTH SIDE, AND I THINK THAT HELPS NOT JUST THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM IT OR EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, BUT IT HELPS ALL OF US RESIDENTS FROM, YOU KNOW, KEEPING PEOPLE OFF THE STREET AS BEST AS POSSIBLE AND TREATING THOSE THAT ARE PROBABLY THE PROBLEM CASES RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'D AGREE WITH THAT, JOY, BUT AND SO I JUST WANT TO MENTION HERE, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I WROTE THESE SO WE CAN EDIT THEM AWAY, BUT BUT I TOOK THIS OFF OF THE CURRENT PLAN AND I SAW EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS IN THERE, BUT I DIDN'T SEE IT VERY MUCH, RIGHT? SO I WAS TRYING TO CAPTURE KIND OF YOUR AS IS, BUT AS WE THINK ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE HOMELESSNESS AND MENTAL HEALTH AND THAT RESPONSE GOES THERE.

PAIGE, DID YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT? I WAS JUST GOING TO OFFER A SUGGESTION OF JUST PUTTING WHILE AT THE VERY TOP BEFORE 2.1, YOU KNOW, JUST SAYING WHILE MAINTAINING A HIGH LEVEL OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

THESE ARE OUR OBJECTIVES IN ADDITION, AND THEN WHILE WE'VE CALLED OUT MEASURE FP FOR THE POLICE AND FIRE FACILITIES, WE DID TALK ABOUT THE SHOOTING RANGE AND WHILE THE GRANT HASN'T COME THROUGH BUT THAT WE WILL KNOW BY SEPTEMBER, SO SHOULD WE MENTION IT IN HERE?

[01:30:01]

YOU COULD PUT MEASURE FP COMMA THE GRANTS, BECAUSE IT'S JUST ANOTHER SOURCE OF FUNDING THAT WOULD BE USED TO BUILD ANOTHER PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES. YEAH, BECAUSE IT REMAINS IN THE PLAN.

THIS IS KIND OF THE HIGH LEVEL GOAL, BUT IT'S LINED OUT.

YEAH, BUT THAT IS A SHORT TERM OBJECTIVE. I THINK IT'S YEAH I MEAN IF WE ARE IF WE'RE GOING TO ROLL THIS UP TO SAY IMPLEMENT MEASURE FP AND IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY RELATED FACILITIES OR WHATEVER IT IS, THAT WOULD GIVE US AN ABILITY TO CREATE AN OBJECTIVE THAT CONTINUES TO TRACK THAT GRANT.

ESPECIALLY IF WE OBTAIN THE GRANT, THEN WE'LL HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE THAT PROJECT FORWARD.

SO THAT'S THE KEY IS WE DON'T WANT TO GET SO HUNG UP.

THE GOALS AREN'T WE DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE THE GOALS WITH THE OBJECTIVES, THE OBJECTIVES.

WE'RE STARTING TO WANT TO LIST THEM OUT HERE. GETTING TO THE LEVEL OF DESCRIPTION. WE'RE ALMOST WE'RE STARTING TO WRITE THE OBJECTIVES. WE'VE GOT TO THINK OF THIS AS THE GOAL AND THEN BUILD ACCORDINGLY. JADE, ONE THING ON 2.2 WHERE YOU PUT WALNUTS.

I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED. YEAH, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS. OKAY.

YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST LIKE THAT'S MORE LIKE A COMMUNITY WELLNESS.

OKAY, AND WE WERE REFERRING MORE TO INTERNAL.

SO WE MAY WANT TO JUST TAKE THAT OUT BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WELLNESS PROGRAMS INTERNALLY FROM A ORGANIZATIONAL HEALTH STANDPOINT WHERE THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. YEAH, AND WE DO HAVE. IT'S AN INWARD FACING.

SO I THINK THAT IT'S BETTER JUST TAKE IT OUT. YEP, AND THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER GOAL THAT I DRAFTED IN THIS THAT MIGHT CAPTURE THAT.

ALL RIGHT. SO LET ME MOVE THROUGH THIS. WE CAN CERTAINLY COME BACK TO THESE, BUT LET'S KEEP UP THE MOMENTUM ON THIS.

THE NEXT WAS INFRASTRUCTURE, AND I DID HEAR ABOUT ROADS, AND I ALSO WONDER AS I THINK ABOUT THAT IS THAT BUSINESS AS USUAL? IS THERE A STRATEGIC ELEMENT TO THAT? IS THERE MORE THAT WE WANT TO SAY UNDER INFRASTRUCTURE? I THINK WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT MORE SPECIFICALLY TOO.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES ARE INFRASTRUCTURE PART OF OUR BROADER CITY INFRASTRUCTURE, RIGHT. SO WHAT ARE WE AGAIN? WE SHOULD RESIST THE BROAD GOAL AND BUCKET.

WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT WHAT'S THE ACTUAL WHAT IS THE GOAL.

WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE IN THAT THREE YEAR HORIZON.

RIGHT. AGAIN, IF INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SPACES, IT'S A ROLLING IT'S A ROLLING TARGET FOR EVERY COMMUNITY IN THE COUNTRY.

SO WHAT IS IT THAT WE WANT TO DO OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS IN THIS CATEGORY, FOR EXAMPLE, UNDER THE INFRASTRUCTURE? SOMETHING I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY THE WORDING FOR IT FOR A GOAL, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT FINAL INVENTORY SO WE KNOW EVERYTHING THE CITY OWNS, HOW OLD IT IS WHEN IT WAS LAST PAINTED, HOW OLD THE ROOF IS, HOW OLD THE CARPETS ARE, AND ALSO HAVE A REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE FOR THOSE SO WE KNOW FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF ROOFS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED OR SOMETHING, SO I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NAME FOR THAT.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT JUST REAL ESTATE OR EVERYTHING? THE CITY OR EVERYTHING THE CITY I'D SAY EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT COULD BE CARS TOO, RIGHT? OKAY. WE RAN INTO THAT ON THE SCHOOL BOARD. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'D BE 3.3 OR CHANGING 3.2, BUT CONTINUING THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE ON THE BICYCLE MASTER PLAN AS WELL AS MICRO-MOBILITY IN THE CITY, AND THE BIKE MASTER PLAN IS IN PLACE AND HAPPENING.

IT ALREADY EXISTS IN THE SOUTH BAY, I THINK, AND SO IS IT JUST DELIVERING ON IT OR IS THERE A NEW STRATEGY HERE? I'M NO PRO AT IT, BUT I THINK IT'S, YOU KNOW, APPLYING FOR GRANT FUNDING FOR DESIGN, DESIGNING IT, THEN, YOU KNOW, BIDDING OUT THE ACTUAL--IT'S EXECUTING ON THE EXISTING BIKE MASTER PLAN AND MAKING TOUGH DECISIONS LIKE DO YOU ELIMINATE PARKING HERE OR ELIMINATE A STREET LANE IN ORDER TO PUT IN A BIKE LANE SHOULD BE CLASS FOUR, CLASS TWO.

SO WE'RE STARTING TO CAPTURE EXISTING ON CURRENT PLANS ALSO, JUST AS YOU START TO--WHAT'S EXECUTION? I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE BASICALLY DOING IN THE HARBOR IS WE'RE EXECUTING ON AN EXISTING PLAN, RIGHT? YEAH. RIGHT I WAS GOING TO SAY TO ADD THE POINT OF.

YEAH. WELL, YEAH. GO AHEAD. WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY TO PICK UP ON 3.3 COMMA WITH RESPECT TO THE FEASIBILITY, AS COUNCILMEMBER OBAGI POINTED OUT, WITH RESPECT TO ELIMINATING PARKING, TAKING AWAY STREET TRAFFIC.

SO JUST KIND OF TAKING A DEEPER DIVE AT THAT.

YEAH. GREAT. SO YEAH. SO MY POINT IS SIMILAR.

[01:35:07]

RIGHT. THEORETICALLY I COULD THIS COULD BE A GOAL IF IF THE GOAL WAS TO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S MORE LIKE.

IMPLEMENT A CERTAIN NUMBER OF MILES OR OF LINEAR FEET OF BICYCLE IMPROVEMENTS OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE, OR SOMETHING THAT COULD BE A GOAL. THIS THIS FEELS LIKE SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO DO THROUGH OUR NORMAL CIP.

SO I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK OF WHAT'S THE OBJECTIVE LIKE ACHIEVE 50%? WE'RE AT 35%. ACHIEVE 60%. YEAH. WHATEVER. WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT A REASONABLE METRIC IS WITHIN A THREE YEAR PERIOD, BUT YEAH, IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE MORE OF AN ACTUAL TARGET THAN JUST WORKING THE EXISTING PLAN. YEAH. ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO THE COGS.

I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THEY CALLED IT. THE COGS, THE LTN, THE LOCAL TRANSIT NETWORK.

THAT WOULD BE WOULD THAT BE PART OF THAT? THAT'S A PROJECT WITHIN THIS CATEGORY POTENTIALLY, RIGHT? I MEAN, SO THIS IS ABOUT TRANSPORTATION.

YEAH. THESE ARE ALL ACTIVE. I MEAN, TO ZANE'S POINT, THESE ARE ALL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION TYPE PROJECT INITIATIVES.

YOU KNOW, I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK THE GOAL SHOULD BE IT SHOULD BE A GOAL, RIGHT? NOT JUST DO THE WORK. DO WHAT THE PLAN SAID WE WOULD DO.

OKAY. IF IT'S A GOAL FOR THE FULL COUNCIL, I MEAN, I SENSE THAT IT IS.

I MEAN, MANY OF YOU HAVE MENTIONED THIS, SO WE'VE GOT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT IS.

THAT WOULD BE SOME, SOME GOAL OR METRIC THAT YOU WOULD PROPOSE LATER AND THAT WE WOULD APPROVE.

YEAH, I THINK, I MEAN, IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU ALL.

YEAH, EXACTLY. I COULDN'T TELL YOU. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. YEAH, EXACTLY. ONE. WE COULD PROMISE THAT WE'LL GET TEN FEET DONE IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS, I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, WE'LL RAISE THE BAR A LITTLE.

YEAH, EXACTLY. SO I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS YET, I DON'T KNOW.

LAUREN, IF YOU'VE GOT ANY SENSE OF IT OR THIS, IT'S PRETTY NEBULOUS.

WE'D HAVE TO PROBABLY STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT. MAYBE MORE SPECIFIC IS AND WE DON'T WANT TO OVERCOMMIT.

THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS HERE TO SCOTT'S POINT ABOUT FEASIBILITY.

YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE PROSPECT CORRIDOR REALLY UNDER OUR CURRENT WISDOM, CAN'T BE ACHIEVED UNDER THE PLAN BECAUSE IT WOULD CANNIBALIZE EITHER PARKING OR A VEHICLE IN WHICH WE WOULD NEVER DO SO. THIS WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT ONE.

OKAY. I'M GOING TO KEEP GOING BECAUSE WE CAN COME BACK TO THESE A LITTLE BIT, BUT LET YOU LET YOU THINK ON THAT.

SO I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK UP TO YOUR ORIGINAL GOALS AND JUST TELL YOU MY THINKING ON THIS ONE.

YOU HAD NUMBER ONE MODERNIZE THE CITY'S TECHNOLOGY AND SYSTEMS LAST YEAR, IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT COMMUNICATION IN THERE.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE SWITCHED, AND THEN YOU HAD ENHANCED THE DELIVERY OF CITY SERVICES, AND AS I STARTED TO GO LINE BY LINE THROUGH THE PLAN, IT FELT LIKE THEY WERE REALLY CONNECTED AT SOME POINT.

SO IT WASN'T JUST ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY, RIGHT? IT WAS ABOUT CHANGING THE EXPERIENCE, THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, THE SERVICES THEY RECEIVE.

SO I ADJUSTED THE LANGUAGE A LITTLE BIT, JUST CALLING THIS A PRIORITY AREA OF CUSTOMER CENTERED SERVICE DELIVERY, AND AGAIN, THESE TWO GOALS ARE BASED ON WHAT WAS IN THE PLAN, AND BOTH OF THESE THINGS COULD BE AS AN EXAMPLE, THE PRA SOFTWARE. RIGHT. THAT WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF THEM, AND SO I WAS LIKE, OKAY, WE'LL MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND INFORMATION, EVEN NAVIGATING THE WEBSITE, YOU COULD PUT UNDER THAT IF THAT'S A THING, RIGHT, AND THEN BEYOND THAT, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO EXPAND SERVICES? SO AFTER MEETING WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT KNOWING WHERE THEY WANT TO EXPAND SELF-SERVICE AND HOW THEY WANT TO THINK ABOUT THINGS DIFFERENTLY. SO THIS ONE FELT MORE THAN JUST TECHNOLOGY.

IT WAS WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME GOING TO BE? ANY ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS ONE? I LIKE I LIKE WHAT YOU SUGGESTED. THE ONE THING THAT IS IMPORTANT I THINK, TOO, IS THERE ARE IN SOME INSTANCES THE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS, THOUGH, AREN'T ALWAYS CUSTOMER CENTERED. SOMETIMES THEY'RE ORGANIZATIONAL EFFICIENCY CENTERED.

SO AND THAT WILL YES, IN THE LONG RUN HELP THE CUSTOMERS.

RIGHT. SO THAT WE MAY WANT TO THINK ABOUT, BUT I COMPLETELY AGREE THAT THE MODERNIZED CITIES TECH AND KIND OF OUR OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS, ETC.

ARE EFFECTIVELY TODAY A COMBINED, YOU KNOW, CONCEPT.

THEY'RE ONE AND THE SAME, ESSENTIALLY. YEAH, AND SO THE THINKING WITH THE INTERNAL CAPACITY, LIKE THE MORE YOU BUILD YOUR INTERNAL CAPACITY TO DO THINGS, THE BETTER SERVICES YOU CAN PROVIDE. SO THE MORE CERTAINLY THE MORE EFFICIENT SERVICES YOU'RE PROVIDING. SO I KIND OF I THINK YOU'RE STILL GOOD GETTING THOSE ALL IN THERE.

UNLESS Y'ALL WANT TO CALL THEM OUT, AND THEN I'M NOT SURE IF THIS INFORMATION AND RECORDS PIECE NEEDS TO BE CALLED OUT ON ITS OWN.

THERE WERE A FEW THINGS THAT WERE SPEAKING TO IT.

I MEAN, WHAT ARE THESE ABOUT? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? I MEAN, I THINK YOU'RE FOR TWO IS THAT IS A GOAL.

[01:40:04]

I'M KIND OF THINKING OF THIS ALSO AS A COMMUNICATION RELATED ONE.

SO FOR WHEN THE PUBLIC WANTS TO ASK A QUESTION OR GET AN ANSWER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IS THAT THE ACCESS AND USABILITY OR IS THAT YET ANOTHER GOAL? I THINK YOU COULD ARGUE THAT COULD BE AN OBJECTIVE UNDER FOUR TWO.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, COMMUNICATION TOOLS, CHAT BOTS OR OTHER AI CRAWLING SOFTWARE THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU GET A PERMIT OR WHAT OUR PROCESS IS. I THINK THAT'S PART OF ACCESS AND USABILITY, I THINK, BUT I THINK THAT'S WHERE I IMAGINE IT GOING, BUT WE COULD ALSO CALL IT OUT. I WAS ASKING I WAS ASKING THE QUESTION.

YEAH , BUT WE COULD CALL IT OUT MORE SPECIFIC, AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK OF YOU.

THINK OF THAT FOR ONE. ALL RIGHT. YEAH, THAT SAME THING.

I DO COMPLETELY AGREE. I DON'T WANT TO TOTALLY ABANDON THE TECHNOLOGY SPECIFIC ONE WITHOUT SOME SORT OF ASPECT OF INTERNAL, BECAUSE THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT: WE'RE BEING ASKED TO DO MORE WITH LESS, AND THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME SERIOUS EFFICIENCIES TO BE GAINED IN ALMOST EVERY DEPARTMENT THROUGH TECHNOLOGY. SO MAYBE THESE ARE FALL INTO OBJECTIVES, BUT I THINK DIGITIZING ALL CITY RECORDS. YEAH THAT'S DEFINITELY AN OBJECTIVE UNDER FOR THIS ONE.

YEAH, THAT WAS IN YOUR LIST. YEAH, AND THAT'S GOING TO TAKE AND DOING THAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A ONE OBJECTIVE BUT THE REALITY IS IT'S SCAN FILE ORGANIZED, THEN DIGITIZE, AND , YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE, WE'VE GOT TO DO ALL THESE.

WE'VE GOT TO DO LIKE TWO THINGS TO DO THAT. WELL, SCANNING TO ME IS DIGITIZING, BUT YEAH, BUT THEN IT'S GOT TO BE LOADED, FILED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC.

THERE'S STEPS IN THAT ARE AND THERE ARE RECORDS WE'RE NOT CAPTURING NOW IN THE SYSTEM.

NOT YET. YEAH. WE HAVE WHAT'S I MEAN, JUST AS A MATTER OF PRACTICE.

LIKE IF WE HAVE A WORKSHOP, THAT'S NOT IF IT'S NOT IN A MEETING, IT DOESN'T GET CAPTURED.

EXACTLY, AND THAT'S PART OF THIS. SO THERE MIGHT BE A PUBLIC MEETING, I SHOULD SAY THERE'S PROBABLY A WAY, JANE, TO MAKE FOR ONE. FOR TWO AND FOR THREE, TWO GOALS IN THERE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO DO THAT. I CAN DO THAT.

YEAH. THE DIGITAL RECORDS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING OF, WHERE IT WAS LIKE. THE WHOLE REASON IS TO MAKE THE INFORMATION EASIER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE.

MY CONCERN IS WE'RE RELYING ON TRIBAL KNOWLEDGE RIGHT NOW.

OH, YEAH. FOR CERTAIN RECORDS. BECAUSE IT'S NOT CAPTURED IN THE PUBLIC, AND WE'RE LOSING THAT TRIBAL.

WE'RE LOSING THAT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE EVERY DAY.

YES. ALL RIGHT, LET ME LET ME PUSH THROUGH TO FIVE AND SIX.

THEY'RE BOTH UP ON THE SCREEN NOW. SO YOU HAD INCREASED ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY? I SAW SOME DIFFERENT CONNECTIONS HERE AND IT WAS MORE ABOUT JUST BEING STEWARDS OF YOUR COMMUNITY, BOTH IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS, BUT ALSO I THINK THERE WERE SOME MORE HISTORICAL OR KIND OF PRESERVATION ASPECTS.

SO THESE SEEM TO CONNECT TO ME, AND THAT'S I'M NOT THE IMPORTANT PERSON HERE.

SO LET ME TRY THAT ON FOR A SECOND. ARE THERE STRATEGIES AROUND THIS.

IS THIS GOING TO BE A FOCUS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE GOING ON? IS THIS KIND OF BUSINESS AS USUAL AT THIS POINT? WELL, I'LL TELL YOU ON THE ON THE 5.1, BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I CAME AT FROM AN ACTIVIST PERSPECTIVE.

I THINK THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE IN THE CITY FEEL LIKE WE'RE BEHIND ON, YOU KNOW, HAVING STRONG REGULATIONS AND PROJECTS TO.

BE MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE.

SO I KIND OF DISAGREE WITH THAT, MR. MAYOR, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE JUST HAD A PRESENTATION BY PUBLIC WORKS ABOUT NATIVE PLANTS AND WHAT PLANTS SHOULD BE SELECTED FOR PUBLIC PROJECTS.

WE KNOW THAT OUR BUS SYSTEM, BEACH CITIES TRANSIT, IS MOVING TOWARDS ELECTRIC FLEET OUR PUBLIC WORKS, AND WE CHANGE OUR PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION TO BE A PUBLIC WORKS AND SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION.

SO I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOTTEN SUSTAINABILITY. I THINK WE'VE MADE PROGRESS, BUT I DON'T FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU READ THE INPUTS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, A LOT OF THOSE ARE TARGETED AT THINGS THAT THEY PUT FORWARD BEFORE AND DIDN'T GET CAPTURED AND THEY STILL DON'T FEEL ARE CAPTURED ADEQUATELY.

WE HEARD FROM THE TREE PEOPLE THAT, YEAH, WE'VE IMPROVED, BUT WE HAVEN'T SUSTAINED.

WE HAVE. GOOD. WHEN IT'S A PUBLIC PROJECT OR IF IT'S A COMMERCIAL PROJECT, WE DO GOOD STORMWATER CAPTURE, BUT BEYOND THAT, WE HAVEN'T REALLY IMPROVED STREET RUNOFF.

[01:45:02]

YEAH. I MEAN, I WAS GOING TO SAY A FAIR POINT.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING A HECK OF A LOT. MOST OF THE RESIDENTS I COMMUNICATE WITH ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

THEY RECYCLE, THEY'RE CAREFUL, THEY'RE COGNIZANT.

THERE'S A BALANCE. I KNOW THE CITY MANAGER AND PUBLIC WORKS ARE AGGRESSIVELY WORKING IN THE PUBLIC SPACE TO PLANT MORE TREES, SO THERE'S ALWAYS MORE TO BE DONE. IT'S A BALANCE.

SO, YEAH, MAKING PROGRESS. I LIKE HAVING IT THERE, BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS MORE WE CAN DO.

SO I'M GOOD WITH THAT ON 5.2. IF WE CAN ADD SOMETHING MORE ABOUT.

NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THIS PART KIND OF COMMUNITY HERITAGE OR CHARACTERS? MAYBE A BETTER WORD. IT'S MORE LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS MUCH THE HISTORIC LIKE, OH, THIS IS A HOUSE BUILT 100 YEARS AGO, AND IT'S WHATEVER.

IT'S WE HAVE WHAT WE HAVE NOW, AND WE WANT TO KIND OF PRESERVE THE CHARACTER OF RIVIERA VILLAGE.

WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE CHARACTER OF THE AVENUES OVER HERE IN DISTRICT ONE, AND SO THERE'S CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS WE MIGHT WANT TO PRESERVE, AND THAT KIND OF FITS IN WITH THAT WITHOUT BEING HISTORIC.

IT'S JUST NO IT'S A GOAL. WE WANT TO KEEP OUR REDONDO BEACH VIBE.

OKAY. I LIKE THAT. IS GOAL 5.1 KIND OF TOO GENERIC AND COULD GO TO ANY COMMUNITY? SHOULD WE BE? IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN STRATEGICALLY FOCUS ON IN THE NEXT.

MAYBE INCREASING OUR TREE CANOPY, BUT THEN WE NEED A METRIC, YOU KNOW, LIKE HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT OUR TREE CANOPY IS RIGHT NOW? WELL, WE KNOW HOW MANY TREE WELLS ARE EMPTY. WE KNOW THE NUMBER OF TREES WE HAVE.

SO OKAY. INCREASE OUR TREE CANOPY. I MEAN, WE COULD MAXIMIZE THE TREE.

WELL, IF IT'S A THREE. YEAH. IF IT'S A THREE YEAR GOAL, I MEAN, THIS IS A PRETTY STRATEGIC.

THIS IS A VERY SPECIFIC GOAL. I MEAN, IT COULD IT BE.

T O ME TREE CANOPY WOULD BE AN OBJECTIVE. SAME WITH STORMWATER RUNOFF FROM STREETS.

WE COULD APPLY A PERCENTAGE TO THAT. WE COULD ARTIFICIAL TURF.

WE JUST HAVE TO DETERMINE. HOW MANY OBJECTIVES WE CAN REASONABLY PERFORM WITHIN THE NEXT PLANNING CYCLE.

THAT'S THE THING WE'VE GOT TO DECIDE. SO ARE WE THINKING ABOUT THIS AS A THREE YEAR GOAL WITH MAYBE JUST 1 OR 2 OBJECTIVES IN THEM FOR THE TIME BEING, BECAUSE THAT'S ATTAINABLE? OR ARE WE THINKING THIS BECOMES, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE ARE A BIT OF A PRIORITY AND WE WANT TO BUILD OUT THESE OBJECTIVES FURTHER. I MEAN, THAT'S GOING TO BE CRITICAL HERE, BECAUSE WHEN WE START TO GET DOWN TO THIS LEVEL OF GOALS, THIS IS THE HIGH LEVEL WE ARE. YEAH, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT A BROAD GOAL THAT SAYS INCREASED SUSTAINABILITY, RIGHT? YEAH , IT IS GENERAL BUT I DON'T KNOW.

YEAH. ON THE STORMWATER ISSUE, DIDN'T WE HAVE A REPORT BACK FROM PUBLIC WORKS AS TO HOW OUR STORMWATER WAS DOING AND WASN'T IT? WE'VE MADE A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS WITH END OF PIPE STORMWATER CAPTURE AND CLEANING.

THE MAYOR'S POINT IS THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES ON FIRST FLUSH THAT WE COULD BETTER CAPTURE THROUGH DIFFERENT INITIATIVES IN THE COMMUNITY.

LIKE INFILTRATION PROJECTS, LIKE THEY. YEAH, WE DO.

IF YOU'RE BUILDING A NEW HOUSE OR IF YOU'RE BUILDING A COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT, OR IF WE'RE DOING A CITY PARKING LOT, WHAT WE DON'T DO IS SAY, HEY, THIS STREET LIKE BROADWAY HAS, YOU KNOW, 30,000 GALLONS OF STORMWATER RUNNING OFF, YOU KNOW, IN A FIVE INCH RAIN, AND WE CAN WE CAN REDUCE THAT BY PUTTING IN SOME, YOU KNOW, BIOSWALES AND I FORGET WHAT THE DRAINS WERE CALLED THAT THEY WERE RECOMMENDING THAT ARE ACTUALLY SEEM BETTER THAN BIOSWALES BUT UNLESS WE STATE WE'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, AN OBJECTIVE TO DO IT, WE'RE JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD.

PERMEABLE SURFACES ON CATALINA IN THE RIVIERA VILLAGE.

YEAH. SO I HEAR KEEPING IT BUT BEING REALISTIC ABOUT WHAT MIGHT G O IN HERE. OKAY. I THINK WE'LL HAVE TO BE, AND MAYBE THE DEPARTMENT CAN HELP WITH WHAT'S THE REALISTIC THREE YEAR GOAL FOR THAT? IS IT PURSUE PERMEABLE SURFACES ON THE RIGHT OF WAYS, LIKE IN THE STREETS? WELL, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF THERE'S ALL SORTS OF INFILTRATION TACTICS THAT THEY COVERED.

PERMEABLE STREETS AND THAT TOO. THOSE REQUIRE A DIFFERENT KIND OF STREET SWEEPING, THOUGH, TO KEEP THEM UNCLOGGED. YEAH. I'M HEARING TREES AND STORMWATER IS KIND OF IS SORT OF WHAT IS COMING UP. ARE WE THINKING THERE ARE OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES THAT ARE OBJECTIVES WITHIN THIS THREE YEAR GOAL? I MEAN, TO JUST TO THROW IT OUT FOR DEBATE,

[01:50:07]

THAT MAY NOT BE BUSINESS FRIENDLY. YEAH. I'M SAYING CITY FACILITIES.

IT IS EXPENSIVE, BUT YEAH, I MEAN, NOT TO. I MEAN, IF YOU COULD DO TREES AND LOOK FURTHER AT STORMWATER RUNOFF, I MEAN, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, PRETTY AGGRESSIVE, MAYBE A GOOD STARTING POINT AND WE COULD GO FROM THERE.

I JUST KEEP THINKING ABOUT REALITY. YEAH. SO JUST KIND OF KEEPING IT FOCUSED MAYBE.

YEAH. WHEN WE'VE HAD THIS GOAL IN THE PAST. RIGHT. IT'S BEEN TO ADDRESS THINGS LIKE MICROPLASTICS AND PLASTIC BAG BANS, AND WE'VE DONE ALL THOSE THINGS RIGHT. THE ORDINANCES THAT WE'VE DONE HAVE, HAVE WE'VE IMPLEMENTED MANY OVER THE LAST FOUR TO SIX YEARS.

THE QUESTION IS WHAT MORE ARE WE THINKING HERE? RIGHT. THIS IS THAT GENERAL TITLE STILL WORKS.

I MEAN, INCREASE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY STILL WORKS AS A GOAL.

THE QUESTION IS, DO WE WANT TO GET MORE TARGETED WITH THAT GOAL, OR IS THERE IS THERE SOMETHING MORE, YOU KNOW, IS THERE SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC WE WANT TO ACHIEVE WITHIN THAT? I CAN TELL YOU IT'S A PARENTHETICAL ON 5.1, BUT PURSUE MORE CHARGING STATIONS. I MEAN, WE BASICALLY HAD THIS AS A GOAL.

WE INVESTIGATED IT. WE HIT A ROADBLOCK. WE HAD TO SHELVE IT, BUT , YOU KNOW, THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK MAY CHANGE.

THERE MAY BE GRANT MONEY OUT THERE, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THERE IS A NEED FOR.

RIGHT, AND INCREASING NEED FOR AS PEOPLE MOVE TOWARDS ALL THREE OF THOSE THINGS RIGHT IN PARENTHESES ARE EFFECTIVELY AN OBJECTIVE.

THEIR OBJECTIVES AT THIS POINT. YEAH WE'RE DOING.

SO IT MIGHT YEAH. WE MIGHT HAVE TO LEAVE IT AT THIS KIND OF HIGH.

I JUST WANT TO LEAVE IT MORE GENERIC AND THEN JUST BE JUDICIOUS ABOUT THE OBJECTIVES.

SURE. YEAH, SURE. I FEEL LIKE FIVE TWO IS A GOAL.

MAYBE A LITTLE WEAK, BUT MAYBE WE CAN SOLVE IT WITH AN OBJECTIVE.

BUT THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY WANTS TO PRESERVE AND CELEBRATE OUR HISTORIC RESOURCES, BUT UNLESS WE PUT TEETH IN ORDINANCES, WE'RE CONTINUING TO LOSE.

IT'S A BALANCING ACT, RIGHT? WELL, OUR PRESERVATION ORDINANCES REQUIRES THE COOPERATION OF THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER, AND THEY CAN OPT OUT AT ANY TIME. YEAH. WHERE CITIES LIKE EUREKA THAT HAVE A STRONG PRESERVED TOWN CENTER, YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY STRONG. YOU CAN'T COME IN AND BUY THE PROPERTY AND GO, I DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE, AND WE DON'T HAVE THOSE KIND OF RULES IN THERE.

SO THERE ARE RULES THAT ARE LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA THAT WOULD HELP PRESERVE THIS STUFF, BUT WE HAVE MORE OF A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM.

YEAH. RIGHT NOW ON MY BLOCK, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONE ONE HOUSE WITH A MILLS GRANT THAT'S NEWER THAN THE ONE NEXT DOOR.

IT'S GETTING TORN DOWN FOR A MODERN CONDO, AND IT WAS ESSENTIALLY THE WHOLE ARCHITECTURE WAS INTACT, UNMODIFIED, AND JUST GOING GOING TO THE WIND.

ARE Y'ALL GOING TO TACKLE THIS IN THE NEXT. WE SHOULD.

WE'RE LOSING IT EVERY EVERY EVERY MONTH. YEAH.

IT GETS TRICKY. MARC, YOU'RE ALREADY WORKING ON THIS, RIGHT? I WAS GOING TO SAY RESIDENT INPUT IS SO IMPORTANT.

I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT IN A VACUUM. KIND OF THE IMPACT ON PROPERTY VALUES.

IF WE KIND OF UNILATERALLY DO SOMETHING, I'D WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT IT BEFORE COMMITTING.

I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE MARC HAD SOMETHING TO SAY.

SO THERE'S A POLICY IN THE LAND USE ELEMENT, ACTUALLY A FEW POLICIES THAT ADDRESS THIS.

SO THE INTENT IS WHEN THAT COMES BACK TO THE COUNCIL THIS SUMMER, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A DEEPER DIVE ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND WHAT DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO WITH WITH THE ORDINANCE. SO THAT IS SCHEDULED AS PART OF THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT DISCUSSION, AND IT'S ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING REMAINING ITEMS, IN ADDITION TO THE FAR LIMITS AND A FEW OTHERS.

I'LL COME BACK THIS YEAR. YES. OKAY. SO DO WE NEED THIS AS A STRATEGIC PLANNING GOAL? PART OF THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE? THAT'S CORRECT.

SO IT'S ALREADY SCHEDULED TO GO BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

THE DECISION NEEDS TO BE MADE IN ORDER. IN ORDER TO ADOPT THE LAND USE ELEMENTS, AND THEN WE HAVE IN THE BUDGET, AND I DON'T THINK WE'VE EXECUTED IT YET, BUT WE STILL DO HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO DO.

WELL, WE SHOULD DO THE HISTORIC RESOURCES STUDY.

THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S BUDGETED. OUR FIRST STEP.

RIGHT. WELL, WE CAN DO THE ORDINANCE IN PARALLEL.

YEAH. I THINK THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO RECEIVE POLICY DIRECTION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ASSESSMENT. THAT'S WHY WE'VE HELD OFF ON IT THIS FISCAL YEAR.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS GOING TO, THIS POLICY CONSIDERATION IS GOING TO BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT WE PUT IT IN THIS DRAFT PLAN.

YES. OKAY. A CAUTION ON THE WORD BALANCING. IF WE STICK WITH WHAT WE GOT TODAY, WE'RE LOSING OUR HISTORY.

[01:55:05]

WELL, THE BALANCING IS REALLY PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS AND COMMUNITY HISTORIC GOALS, RIGHT.

IT'S THAT'S THE BALANCE AND THAT'S THE RUB. OKAY.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE ENOUGH ENERGY AND ENOUGH WORK GOING ON AROUND THIS TO CALL IT OUT, BUT IT'S ALREADY IT'S COMING ONGOING WORK. IT'S THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

SO ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING STRATEGICALLY DIFFERENT OR IS THIS JUST KIND OF IN LINE RIGHT NOW? IN LINE? YEP. OKAY. WE MIGHT, AND SO THAT KIND OF LEAVES US WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL ONE, WHICH IN THAT CASE WE COULD, YOU KNOW, JUST KEEP IT ON, INCREASE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND TALK THROUGH.

ALL RIGHT. NOTE ON NUMBER FIVE, THE ENVIRONMENTAL ONE THIS PAST YEAR THAT WE PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON POTENTIAL TREE ORDINANCES AND LOOKING FOR WAYS TO INCENTIVIZE PROPERTY OWNERS TO PLACE TREES ON THEIR PROPERTY, OR MAYBE BE A CONDITION OF A DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE DID COMMIT TO COMING BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH SOMETHING ON THAT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO SOMEHOW FOLD IT INTO THE GOAL OR IF THAT WOULD BE AN OBJECTIVE. SOUNDS LIKE THE OBJECTIVE LEVEL, BUT LET ME SEE.

IS IT BIGGER? IT SEEMS LIKE AND IT'S IN MOTION OBJECTIVE.

SO IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TREE CANOPY OVERALL.

OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THIS ONE NEVER EXISTED BEFORE.

SO, AS I TOLD YOU, I KIND OF COLLAPSED SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY FROM YOUR PREVIOUS GOALS, AND I'M GOING TO.

I MAY HAVE ALREADY TALKED MYSELF OUT OF THIS ONE, BUT LET ME TALK YOU OUT OF IT.

SO YOU DO HAVE A NUMBER OF THINGS IN YOUR CURRENT PLAN, RIGHT? YOU'VE GOT CODE OF CONDUCT AND STAFFING ASSESSMENT AND CONTRACTS POSITION, AND THERE'S ALWAYS CERTAIN THINGS YOU'RE DOING TO BUILD YOUR CAPACITY AS AN ORGANIZATION, RIGHT? IT'S KIND OF BUSINESS AS USUAL, AND I DON'T TAKE ANY OF IT FOR GRANTED.

RIGHT. SO IS THERE A STRATEGY AROUND THIS THAT YOU WANT TO CALL OUT THAT'S DIFFERENT OR I SEE THAT AS THE CITY MANAGER'S JOB DESCRIPTION. RIGHT. THAT IS TRUE. I ACTUALLY SEE THIS AS KIND OF BEING INHERENT TO THE COMBINE, AND FOR I FEEL LIKE THIS THIS IS WHERE I WAS SAYING TECH NEEDS TO BE HAVE SOME INTERNAL MEANING BENEFITS AS WELL.

SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS REASON THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE. SO I THINK THIS CAN BE PULLED UP INTO THAT WHATEVER GOAL WE SETTLE ON WITHIN THAT.

OKAY, AND WHEN WE THINK ABOUT LIKE I KNOW THE STAFFING ASSESSMENT IS DONE, THAT'S COMPLETED OR WASN'T DONE AND WELL, IT'S DONE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE BUDGET AND WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT IS PART OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET THIS YEAR.

BUT SO STAFFING WOULD GO. THE POINT WAS STAFFING WOULD BE ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY, WHICH WOULD BE SERVICE DELIVERY, AND SO A LOT OF THOSE THINGS GO BACK UP TOP THAT ARE AND THEY REALLY FLOW THROUGH.

YEAH, A LOT OF THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE BUDGET IN PARTICULAR.

THAT'S THE PLACE TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. ALL RIGHT.

ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A CASE FOR NUMBER SIX. I ALREADY WITHDREW MY OWN CASE SO.

OKAY. AS WE GO THROUGH THE PLAN WE'LL KIND OF KEEP AN EYE ON THAT, AND WHERE I WILL SAY THE TERM INNOVATION ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS, THAT TO ME IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF FOUR. SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU SCROLL UP.

RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT FOUR THREE TO ME IS OR A COMBINATION LIKE I THINK FOUR ONE AND FOUR TWO AND FOUR THREE, WE CAN COMBINE THOSE CONCEPTS INTO TWO GOALS THAT ACHIEVE BOTH THE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL ENDS.

YEAH. I MEAN, YEAH, I CAN MAKE A CASE FOR INFORMATION WOULD FLOW INTO ENHANCING SERVICES BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION YOU HAVE BETTER SERVICES.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE. WE'RE AN INFORMATION BUSINESS.

SO I MEAN THAT IS A SERVICE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WELL WE MADE IT THROUGH AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'LL DO A LITTLE BIT OF WORDSMITHING, BUT I DIDN'T I THINK WE'RE PRETTY ALIGNED ACROSS THE BOARD.

IS THERE ANYTHING WE NEED TO REVISIT ON THESE AT THIS POINT HAVING GONE THROUGH WHERE DO WE COVER LIKE THE PARK/COMMUNITY SERVICES? IS THAT UNDER INFRASTRUCTURE OR IN PUBLIC? YEAH.

WELL THAT WAS YOUR CONCEPT FOR THREE TWO, I THINK, AND EXPAND ENHANCE PUBLIC SPACES, AMENITIES, MAYBE PROGRAMS. THAT'S WHERE I WAS TRYING TO CAPTURE IT.

DO WE WANT TO CAN YOU ADD PROGRAMS TO THAT. BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE AMENITIES.

IT'S. YEAH, AND I THINK IN GENERAL. RIGHT. BECAUSE THIS POLICY CONCEPT GOES AWAY FROM JUST INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SPACES TO,

[02:00:10]

SURE. THAT'S WHAT I MIGHT SEE UNDER THERE. I SAW THAT ON YOUR CURRENT LIST.

RIGHT, AND WE COVER THINGS LIKE THE HISTORIES UNDER NOW UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL. WELL, THAT'S I WAS CALLING IT COMMUNITY STEWARDSHIP.

LIKE, WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU DO TO TAKE CARE? YEAH, TO ME, THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, RIGHT? ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IS DIFFERENT. YEAH. WE WANT WE MAY WANT TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE POLICY ONCE NOW THAT WE'VE KIND OF CATEGORIZED THESE AND STARTED TO LOOK AT THESE AS MORE GOALS, WE MAY WANT TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE TITLING AND POLICY CATEGORIES AND GO INTO THE MORE SPECIFIC GOALS, AND THEN AND HAVE THOSE STANDALONE AS OPPOSED TO BE PART OF THE TRYING TO BUCKET CERTAIN THINGS AND THEN ADDING MORE WORDS TO MAKE SENSE OF IT, BECAUSE WE KIND OF HIT THE PRESERVATION UNDER 5.2 BUT THERE'S OTHER THINGS TO ENHANCE.

I MEAN, A LOT OF A LOT OF RESIDENTS AND VISITORS NEVER LEARN OUR HISTORY.

WE HAVE A COUPLE SIGNS, BUT WE HAVE LIKE ITO PARK THAT WAS TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, MEMORIALIZE, YOU KNOW, A SPECIFIC TIME IN THE CITY. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT CAPTURES IT FOR YOU, BUT THAT WOULD BE ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE THE CITY'S HISTORY AND SHARE IT. YOU KNOW, MAYBE I'LL TAKE OFF RESOURCES, SAY PROMOTE, YOU COULD SAY, AS OPPOSED TO CELEBRATE, PROMOTE. YEAH. GREAT.

SO IT'S A GOOD QUESTION THOUGH, MAYOR, AS YOU'RE KIND OF THINKING THROUGH, DID WE MISS ANYTHING? FOR US TO CONSTRUCTIVELY DEVELOP OBJECTIVES OR AT LEAST CONCEPT OBJECTIVES UNDER THESE NEW GOALS, WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY NEED TO DO A LITTLE PACKAGING.

YEAH ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. GET TO THE I FEEL LIKE WE'RE YOU KNOW IT'S IT DOESN'T THIS GENERAL STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH I THINK THIS IMPROVES IT SUBSTANTIALLY FROM WHAT WE HAD, AND I STILL THINK WE NEED TO GO THROUGH A PRIORITIZATION SCHEMA, BUT IT DOESN'T IT GET YOU EXCITED ABOUT IT? YOU KNOW, WHERE DO WE SAY LIKE WE WANT THE HARBOR AND WATERFRONT TO BE, YOU KNOW, CROWN JEWEL, RESORT TYPE ENVIRONMENT, WHATEVER THE WORDS ARE FOR THE FRONT, WE WANT TO BE THE SAFEST CITY.

YOU KNOW, IN THE SOUTH BAY. WE ARE, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO BE THE MOST BUSINESS FRIENDLY CITY IN THE SOUTH BAY, YOU KNOW, STUFF LIKE THAT GETS YOU EXCITED ABOUT WHAT? YOU WANT TO READ OUR MISSION STATEMENT? WELL, OR AT LEAST BROAD STATEMENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, GET PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT IT INSTEAD OF, SURE, YOU WANT TO PUT A STAKE IN THE GROUND ON SOME OF THIS.

YEAH, SURE. YEAH. NOT JUST LIKE A PREAMBLE TO THE.

OR DO YOU WANT TO JUST RENAME SOME OF THOSE GOALS? YEAH, I THINK THE GOALS NEED TO ROLL UP AND BE A LITTLE.

NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THEM IN SORT OF GENERAL FRAMEWORK, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE THIS ELABORATE.

RIGHT. WE NEED TO GET THEM INTO BROAD IF YOU WANT.

IF WE WANT TO MAKE THEM MORE EXCITING AND BROADER TERMS NOW, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT.

YEAH. WE WANT WE WANT ARTESIA TO BE THE ABBOT KINNEY OF OF THIS YOU KNOW OF THE BEACH CITIES THAT MAY BE HARD IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT ALL OF WHAT ABBOT KINNEY OFFERS THESE DAYS, BUT YEAH, I JUST THROW.

I'M KIDDING, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AND I THINK THERE IS SOME VALUE OR REDONDO BEACH WE COULD REPHRASE THE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES, RIGHT? LIKE JUST MAKE THEM MORE SPECIFIC TO REDONDO.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? I'M THINKING WE GO THROUGH THE GOALS. YEAH, WE GO THROUGH THE GOALS AND WE ADD THE POSITIVE BUZZWORDS, RIGHT? WE MOVE OUT OF LIKE, WE ALMOST DUMP BOXES ONE AND TWO, RIGHT? WE GET INTO THE GOALS NOW AND WE BUILD UNDER THAT CONCEPT.

RIGHT. THIS I S OUR WATERFRONT GOAL. WELL WHAT'S OUR WATERFRONT.

MAYBE THAT'S JUST LIKE A STRATEGIC VISION OR SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, THOSE KIND OF ADJECTIVES OR SOMETHING THAT SUMMARIZE WHAT THESE THEN WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR MORE OF LIKE ALMOST LIKE WHAT YOU SAID, A MISSION STATEMENT, BUT ALMOST SOMETHING AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS EXPLAINING WHAT THIS IS, BECAUSE THESE ARE JUST TACTICAL STEPS, SO THEY'RE NOT EXCITING.

I MEAN, SOME OF THEM ARE STRATEGIC, BUT THEY'RE NOT COMPELLING, RIGHT? SO JUST LIKE ALMOST LIKE A NO THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT SAYING REWRITE ANY OF THIS.

[02:05:02]

IT MIGHT BE WORTH REVISITING THE VISION STATEMENT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

THAT 'S A TIMELY EXERCISE. WE'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST.

THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE POSITIVE BUZZWORDS AND YOU GET A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH YOUR GOAL.

WHEN SOMETHING THAT'S INSPIRING TO BOTH THE, YOU KNOW, STAFF AND TO THE PEOPLE, THE PUBLIC WHO READ IT, LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND OUR CURRENT. ECONOMIC VITALITY.

JUST SEE IF I CAN FIND IT. YOU ARE INSPIRING AND COMPELLING.

IT'S EITHER THAT WAY OR IT'S, YOU KNOW, GO 1.1 TO MAKE THE WATERFRONT AND PIER.

THE CROWN JEWEL, THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OR THE WEST COAST.

WE WILL AS PART OF. YEAH TO MAKE REDONDO BEACH THE SAFEST CITY IN THE SOUTH BAY.

OVERARCHING MISSION STATEMENT LISTING IT, AND TO IMPLEMENT THAT VISION, WE PUT FORWARD THE FOLLOWING GOALS.

THAT'S SOMETHING YOU COULD WORK ON. IT IS. YEAH.

WHAT WE HAVE TO DECIDE. ARE WE TRYING TO SPIN THAT NOW OR ARE WE? NO, I DON'T WANT TO SPIN IT NOW. I JUST THINK WE NEED TO PUT SOME EFFORT INTO MAKING IT EXCITING.

I MEAN, THERE'S A REASON WE'RE DOING THIS. INSPIRATIONAL, AND I HONESTLY THINK WE CAN MAKE US BACK INTO THAT CROWN JEWEL WE WERE IN AT THE TURN OF THE 1900S, AND I DO THINK WE CAN BRAG ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY AND WANTING TO ACHIEVE, YOU KNOW, ACHIEVE MORE IN THAT AREA OR MAINTAIN THAT. THE TIME IS NOW 513 SO WE ARE RIGHT ON TARGET WITH WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE POSSIBLE DINNER SCHEDULE? IT'S WHENEVER WE WANT TO. I THINK IT WAS WHEN THE CATERER WAS COMING.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO TAKE PUBLIC INPUT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME. WE CAN'T.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO WORDSMITH THE GOALS A LITTLE BIT HERE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DROP OBJECTIVES.

OKAY. BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE OUR NEXT PROCESS.

WE STILL NEED TO INVITE PUBLIC COMMENT. WE USUALLY WORK A LITTLE BIT ON THE OBJECTIVES BEFORE WE BREAK FOR DINNER.

SO WE'RE NOT AT THE DINNER SPOT YET. YEP, AND SO WE COULD TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS AND THEN WE'LL SWITCH TO STARTING TO DIG IN ON OBJECTIVES.

WELL, IF WE THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH IN EACH OF THESE GOALS TO PLOT THEM.

RIGHT. I THINK WE PROBABLY HAVE ENOUGH CATEGORIZATION HERE.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? I'D LIKE US TO GET. I THINK I'D LIKE US TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF TIGHTENING OF 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 , BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THESE ARE ALL PRIORITIES.

I THINK WE SHOULD TALK A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE ALL VERY CLEAR ON THE FIRST THREE GOALS AND THEN THE NEXT LEAST NOT. I'M NOT SURE I'M HEARING AS MUCH BROAD SUPPORT FOR THAT BEING IN THAT ORDER YET, BUT GOING UP TO FP, I THINK WE'RE SETTLED THROUGH GOALS KIND OF 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1.

I'M NOT SURE WE'VE GOT COALESCING AROUND THIS FRAMEWORK YET FOR TWO.

GREAT. SO I THINK WE NEED TO WORK ON THAT, AND THEN WE'VE GOT TO DECIDE IS, IS ARE WE ALL COALESCED AROUND GOALS THREE ONE AND THREE TWO? I MEAN, MAYBE WE JUST NEED TO GET INTO THE. YEAH.

LET'S HANG OUT HERE. I THINK WE'RE CLOSE ON THIS.

SO GO BACK UP TO ONE. YEP. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT GOAL 1.2 SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE.

THE WATERFRONT HAS GOTTEN PLENTY OF ATTENTION.

YOU KNOW, PUBLIC AMENITIES PLAN. SEASIDE LAGOON IS GETTING $10 MILLION.

WE JUST GOT PAVERS ON THE BOARDWALK. WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE PARKING GARAGE SO WE CAN OPEN UP THE FUN FACTORY THAT'S GOING TO NATURALLY WITHOUT STRATEGY.

IT'S GOING TO EVOLVE, AND WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON LEASING THERE.

SO ARTESIA BOULEVARD, ON THE OTHER HAND NEEDS STRATEGY INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, ASSESSING WHETHER OUR PARKING REQUIREMENTS WORK.

THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE ARE, YOU KNOW, OUR FAR ROOFTOP DINING, AS COUNCILMEMBER BEHRENDT SUGGESTED, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. I SOMEWHAT DISAGREE WITH THAT, IN THAT THE WATERFRONT IS A DIFFERENT BEAST AND IS CITY PROPERTY, AND SO THE CITY HAS TO TAKE A MORE ACTIVE ROLE THAN ARTESIA.

SURE, BUT I MEAN, IT IS IT'S OUR PROPERTY, RIGHT? SO WE'RE GOING TO FIND LESSEES FOR LEASED SPACES THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE.

IT'S WHAT WE HAVE A MANAGEMENT COMPANY WORKING, YOU KNOW, TO DO FOR US, AND IT'S BEEN SLOW IN COMING.

A LOT OF VACANCIES. ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S DO A LITTLE BIT OF JUST WE'LL TALK THROUGH THESE FIRST.

I WENT AHEAD AND JUST MADE THE CHANGE VISUALLY. WE'LL SEE WHERE WE WANT TO END UP, BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS GETTING A LITTLE BIT TACTICAL. IT HAD A LOT OF EXTRA WORDS IN THERE.

[02:10:01]

RIGHT. DOES THAT CAPTURE WHAT WE WANT THERE WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE SPECIFICS? YEAH, I THINK IT'S I MEAN, EVEN IF WE JUST USE THE OLD LANGUAGE FOR NOW. REVITALIZE ARTESIA. YOU'RE GOOD THERE. CORRIDOR. I JUST HEARD SOMETHING AROUND, LIKE, WE NEED A STRATEGY, SO I WANT TO MAYBE CAPTURE THAT LANGUAGE IN THERE AND THEN REVITALIZE THE WATERFRONT.

THAT'S THE BROAD TITLE HERE. I THINK EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT ONE'S DESTINATION.

WE'RE GOOD DESTINATION. I THINK WE GET THAT. ALL RIGHT, AND THEN HOW DO WE.

OH, CAN WE COME UP WITH A PRIORITIZATION SCHEMA.

WE CAN. YOU HAVEN'T NECESSARILY HAD ONE IN THE PAST, AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ARGUING ABOUT HERE IS PRIORITIZATION.

I DON'T HAVE A WATERFRONT IN MY DISTRICT. SO I'M OBVIOUSLY GOING TO ADVOCATE FOR OUR BOULEVARD, BUT THERE'S NO REASON THEY COULDN'T BE EQUAL IN PRIORITY, AND THEN PUT PCH AS A LOWER.

ALL THREE ARE PRIORITIES, NOT ONE OVER THE OTHER.

OKAY. I THINK THAT'S HOW SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHING ABOUT.

NO I THINK I WAS PRIORITY ORDERING ECONOMIC VITALITY.

RIGHT. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT'S WHERE I WAS DOING IT. MAYBE WITHIN THE CATEGORIES I DON'T I DIDN'T KNOW ENOUGH TO PUT THEM IN ANY SORT OF ORDER, AND THEN WHAT I HEARD FROM MIKE EARLIER WAS, IF IT'S ON THE PLAN, IT'S A PRIORITY, RIGHT? YEAH I DISAGREE. WELL, THE IF IT'S ON THE PLAN, IT'S ALREADY RISEN TO BEING A PRIORITY FUNCTION.

BUT THERE IS VALUE IN IT BEING AT THE TOP OF THE PLAN VERSUS BEING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PLAN.

NOW, DO I THINK REALISTICALLY FROM A STAFF RESOURCE STANDPOINT, BEING ONE ONE VERSUS ONE TWO IS GOING TO MAKE A MATERIAL DIFFERENCE.

IT IS NOT, BUT WHAT WE SHOULD TO ME, IF I WERE IF I WERE DOING THIS MYSELF JUST ON MY OWN, I'D SAY ONE ONE AND ONE TWO ARE OUR TOP GOALS, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT WE INVEST IN OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS.

IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION, THOSE TWO ARE THE PRIORITY.

PCH IS A FUTURE ONE. SO THAT'S A LOWER PRIORITY, AND THEN THIS ONE THREE IS KIND OF A NUMBER TWO.

SO YOU HAVE TWO ONES A TWO AND A THREE. AGREE.

FULLY AGREE WITH THAT OKAY, AND SO WE COULD START TO CAPTURE THAT IN HERE.

I ALREADY ORDERED DOES THAT YEAH THAT ALL WORKS FOR ME.

THE KEY FOR US IS GOING TO BE HOW WE HAVE LIKE ONE FOUR WHERE WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BUILD OUT AN OBJECTIVE MAYBE YET.

SO IT'S BECAUSE BECAUSE SOMEHOW. YEAH, AND WE SAY THAT'S LAST PRIORITY.

THAT'S LAST PRIORITY, AND THEN THE THEN. SO IF YOU'RE BORED AND HAVE NOTHING TO DO THAT DAY, YOU CAN WORK ON. THERE'S NO OBJECTIVE. SO I THINK THAT'S THE KEY HERE, BUT I THINK EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT EACH OF THOSE GOALS MEAN.

RIGHT. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO SPEND ANY TIME DESCRIBING THOSE. RIGHT.

NOW UNDER TWO, THIS IS, I THINK, IMPORTANT. SO ARE WE COALESCED AROUND PUBLIC FACILITIES? OBVIOUSLY MEASURE FP PUBLIC FACILITIES. WE GET WHAT TWO ONE MEANS, AND THEN DO WE WANT TO HAVE TWO SEPARATE GOALS IN THIS PLAN DESCRIBED THAT WAY. SO ARE WE GOING TO HAVE AN IMPROVING HOMELESS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.

I MEAN IS THAT GOING TO BE A GOAL? I MEAN, WE DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB, AS IS I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE INTRICACIES OF OUR HOMELESS PROGRAM, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE OUR NEXT STEP IS TO EXPAND THE PALLET SHELTERS.

WE DON'T HAVE CONSTRUCTION YET. WE DON'T HAVE NEW PALLETS.

THAT WOULD BE ONE OBJECTIVE UNDER THAT CONCEPT.

YEAH, THAT COULD BE THE GOAL, RIGHT? ADDING FAMILY.

SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. ADDING OKAY. HEALTH. HEALTH.

SO IT SOUNDS MENTAL HEALTH. SO I'M HEARING THERE'S A SERIES OF OBJECTIVES THAT WOULD LIKELY SUPPORT THAT GOAL, AND THAT THE COUNCIL, USUALLY BY A STRAW VOTE, DECIDES IS THIS SOMETHING.

FOR NOW WE WANT TO WE WANT TO INCLUDE IN THE PLAN.

SO I'M NOT HEARING ANY DISSENT. SO FOR WHICH ONE? 2.3 FOR IMPROVING HOMELESS PROGRAM. YEAH. FUNDING FUNDING PERMITTED.

I MEAN WE'RE GOING TO NEED WILL THE OBJECTIVES WOULD BE.

YEAH THEY WOULD YEAH. THEY'D BE SPECIFIC TO WHAT WE CAN AFFORD AND NOT AND NOT FAMILY FAMILY HOUSING.

WE CAN'T JUST START BUILDING FAMILY. YEAH. IT'D BE GRANT FUNDING TO SUPPORT FAMILY HOUSING.

THAT WOULD BE THE OBJECTIVE. NOW, NOW TWO, TWO IS A LITTLE MORE.

THIS ONE. THIS THIS GOES TO, I MEAN, THE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM WORK THAT WE'RE DOING MAY FALL UNDER TWO, THREE. I MEAN, IT'S NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THAT, THOUGH.

NO, NOT EVERYBODY'S HOMELESS. THAT NEEDS THAT, RIGHT? I GUESS I WOULD PUSH BACK THAT I WOULDN'T WANT IT NECESSARILY UNDER THE HOMELESS PROGRAM BECAUSE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CALLS FROM OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT GO TO HOUSED INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. SO IT'S NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE HOMELESS PROGRAM.

SO I WOULD SAY THAT 'S MORE OF JUST A GENERAL PUBLIC SAFETY IMPLEMENTATION.

OKAY, AND SO DOES IT FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING STRATEGIC HAPPENING HERE? WE'RE JUST ROLLING OUT PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE.

[02:15:03]

RIGHT. SO AND THIS ONE DIDN'T SHOW UP VERY MUCH IN THE PLAN.

THERE WAS LIKE AN EMERGENCY COORDINATOR. IT WAS A POSITION I'M GOING TO PROPOSE A CHANGE IN THAT IN THE BUDGET JUST TO I THINK THERE'S A WAY FOR US TO MANAGE THAT MORE EFFICIENTLY AS WE'VE LOOKED THROUGH STAFFING RESOURCE.

THAT WORK IS CRITICAL. IT. IT HAS TO BE DONE RIGHT.

I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO ADD A POSITION THAT WILL ACTUALLY EXECUTE THAT.

THAT'S A MORE TACTICAL BUDGET ISSUE THAN IT IS A STRATEGIC PLANNING GOAL.

YEAH, I'D SAY PRETTY RELEVANT, AT LEAST IN DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR RESIDENTS GIVEN THE FIRES.

IT COMES UP OFTEN ABOUT ARE WE PREPARED, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS OUR PLAN.

IS THERE SOMETHING STRATEGIC WE'RE GOING TO DO HERE? I MEAN? I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE I WAS JUST AT A CAPTAIN MAHONEY WAS JUST SPEAKING ABOUT RISKS AND THE TIDAL TIDAL WAVE RISKS.

RIGHT, AND HOW THINGS ARE GETTING LABELED AND THAT WE'RE GENERALLY PREPARED.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT SUBJECT TO TIDAL WAVE RIGHT HERE IN REDONDO, BUT DOWN NEAR HERMOSA AND THE WATERFRONT.

SORRY. RIGHT ON THE HARBOR WE ARE SO, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING FOR US TO DO AS A COUNCIL RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT CONTINUING TO DO WHAT THEY DO.

IN LIGHT OF THE EVENTS, YOU KNOW, CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE EVENTS THAT JUST OCCURRED UP IN LOS ANGELES.

WAS THAT A QUESTION FOR FIRE AND POLICE OR JUST AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THE WORK THEY DO ADVANCES THIS? WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US TO CONTINUE YOUR ADVANCE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION? WHAT WOULD WE NEED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO DO THAT? I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING. THAT'S. THAT'S IT. YEAH. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THE ABILITY TO KEEP KIND OF DO SURVEYS TO KIND OF FIND OUT WHAT ARE THE RESOURCES WE NEED OR, YOU KNOW, DATA DRIVEN STUDIES TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT A GAME PLAN FOR FUTURE EVENTS AND FUTURE, HOW TO EXPAND OUR SERVICES. PROBABLY MORE AWARENESS THAN ANYTHING.

I'M NOT SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS KNOW WHAT OUR PLAN IS, AND WHERE THEY COULD REVIEW A COPY OF THE PLAN IF THEY WANTED TO.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT REALLY A RISK FOR WILDFIRES, I DON'T THINK.

NO, NO, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH OPEN SPACE, BUT EARTHQUAKES IS A BIG ONE, AND I IMAGINE PEOPLE WOULD SAY, WELL, IF WE HAVE A BIG EARTHQUAKE, WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE PROTOCOLS FOR THE CITY AND THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS TO RESPOND TO THAT? AND WE DO HAVE THOSE. SO IT'S JUST HOW MUCH OF THAT DO WE WANT TO RELEASE? WHAT DO WE WANT TO PUT OUT THERE? SO I WOULD SAY IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A STRATEGIC ITEM ON THAT, IT WOULD BE SURROUNDING THE ACTUAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN, THE DEVELOPMENT OF IT AND THE AVAILABILITY OF IT.

SO SO MY QUESTION SO THEN, WELL, TWO THINGS COME TO MIND.

DO WE DO WE FEEL PREPARED? YES. RIGHT. YES. YES.

WHAT I'M HEARING IS THE PERCEPTION OR AWARENESS AND COMMUNICATION OF OUR PREPAREDNESS EFFORTS IS PERHAPS I DON'T THINK THAT'S A STRATEGIC ISSUE.

I THINK THAT'S A WORK FUNCTION ISSUE, SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO JUST COMMUNICATE, CHOOSE TO BETTER COMMUNICATE TO THE COMMUNITY.

I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO THINK OF THAT STRATEGICALLY, PER SE.

SO THAT, I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE WE CAN ADDRESS THAT THROUGH WORK ACTION, NOT THROUGH THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

THAT'S MY FEELING. AGREED. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO OFF AND HAVE MANY MEETINGS ABOUT, AND I JUST FEEL LIKE WE SPEND UMPTEEN I MEAN, INTERNALLY, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.

I MEAN, THAT'S THAT IS A CORE FUNCTION. IT'S A CORE SERVICE OF WHAT WE DO.

KURT'S EFFORTS IN THE HARBOR ARE NOW TAILORED NOW MORE SO THAN EVER TO PREPAREDNESS, NOT JUST IN THE WATERFRONT, BUT HOW THAT EXTRAPOLATES INLAND. WE ARE ADDRESSING THIS AS AN INTERNAL FEATURE.

I GUESS, TO YOUR QUESTIONS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ALL I MEAN, I WOULD DRIVE THAT MAYBE THIS DISCUSSION JUST LED TO THE INFERENCE THAT WE NEED TO COMMUNICATE WHAT WE'RE DOING BETTER. EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS OR EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE.

YOU KNOW HOW EVERYBODY CAN PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE NEXT BIG EARTHQUAKE AND HOW, AND LET PEOPLE KNOW HOW THE HOW THE RBFD AND RBPD ARE GOING TO RESPOND IN AN EARTHQUAKE.

DOES THAT FEEL LIKE SOMETHING TO CALL OUT OR FEEL LIKE THIS IS WORK THAT'S HAPPENING? I THINK WE CAN COMMIT TO JUST DOING THAT, AND I THINK YOU'LL SEE THAT IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET ITEM THAT 'S IN FOCUS THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

SO THAT LEAVES MENTAL HEALTH AND THE HOMELESS PROGRAM.

SO I HEARD ONE IS THAT THEY NEED TO BE CALLED OUT SEPARATELY.

[02:20:04]

YEAH. OKAY, AND WE'RE SKIPPING THAT LAST STATEMENT.

I THINK WE ADDRESSED IT IN THE. YEAH. WHILE MAINTAINING A HIGH LEVEL OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

OR ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT WE ADD SOMETHING ABOUT LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY AS A SEPARATE ITEM? NUMBER 2.4? WELL WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT JUST AROUND PUBLIC SAFETY OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE CITY OVERALL? BECAUSE THAT MIGHT BE INCORPORATED IN YOUR SERVICES, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE TO INVEST IN OUR COMM CENTER.

WE JUST DID SOME IMPROVEMENTS, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS MORE AND NEWER THINGS COMING ONLINE THAT IMPROVE THAT, AND WE'RE A LEADER WITH THE AERODOME, AND IF WE TIE THAT IN MORE TO OUR 911 SYSTEM, YOU KNOW WE CAN IMPROVE THAT EVEN MORE.

SO YOU KNOW, I THINK WE I THINK WE NEED TO SHOW THAT WE AS A COUNCIL EMBRACE, YOU KNOW, THOSE TECHNOLOGIES THAT HELP US BE, YOU KNOW, BEST. BEST PUBLIC SAFETY SYSTEM.

I WOULD BE OKAY ADDING A POINT. WHATEVER. SO MAYBE WE JUST DO A 2.4 THAT SAYS CONTINUE.

YOU CONTINUE THE UTILIZATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO DELIVER A HIGH LEVEL OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING AROUND THE LEADING EDGE OF IT CONTINUE READING.

THERE'S ITEMS IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR THAT ARE FOCUSED DIRECTLY ON THIS REALLY IS IS IMPLEMENTED THROUGH THE BUDGET, WHICH YOU'LL SEE PRESENTED HERE SOON. SO THERE MAY NOT BE THERE MAY NOT BE A SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE UNDER THAT FOR THE TIME BEING, BUT THERE CERTAINLY CAN BE IN THE FUTURE. YEAH.

YEAH. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH AI IN THE FUTURE. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT COULD COME UP WHERE POLICE OR FIRE COME OUT AND THEY SAY, OH, GREAT, WE NEED SOME MONEY TO DO THIS, AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE LIKE THEY'VE DONE BEFORE.

ALL RIGHT. WHERE DO WE GET ON INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THE FIRST WAS BEING PRETTY SPECIFIC.

DO WE FEEL THAT THIS THIS CONCEPT IN GENERAL.

RIGHT. AS WE LOOK AT GOALS THREE ONE THROUGH THREE, THREE, I WOULD ARGUE THAT FALLS BELOW GOAL.

FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM ALL OF YOU. THOSE FALLS BEHIND GOAL FOUR.

I WOULD SWAP THREE AND FOUR BASED ON WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM YOU ALL AND THE QUESTIONS I GET FROM YOU ALL FROM A FROM A PRIORITY STANDPOINT.

THE PROBLEM IS INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT SEXY. NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.

SO I DON'T KNOW. IT SURE IS IMPORTANT WHAT YOU GUYS GOT TO TELL ME I KIND OF FEEL.

YEAH, AND I LOOK AT LIKE PARKS THERE'S A LOT OF BACKED UP INVESTMENT REQUIRED IN PARKS IF YOU GO OFF THE CONDITION OF THE FACILITIES AND YOU KNOW, SO I SUPPORT THAT INVENTORY. I THINK WE HAVE SOME OF THAT TODAY ON THE PARKS, BUT IT'S AND IT'S NOT JUST PARKS.

I MEAN, WE'RE INVESTING IN THE COMMUNITY CENTERS, RIGHT? THE LIBRARY AND OUR CITY HALL. YEAH. THE LIBRARY ITSELF.

HVAC IS, YOU KNOW, ABOUT TO DIE, HAS DIED. WHEN WE HAD A MEETING UP HERE, AND SO I THINK WE DO HAVE TO DO SOME FOCUS ON, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE TACKLE THIS BACKLOG OF AGED FACILITIES AND NEED FOR REPAIR SLASH REPLACEMENT? BECAUSE IT'S BIG. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE PLUNKED 800 K INTO WILDERNESS PARK, BUT THAT DOESN'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF ALL THE SYSTEMS. WE JUST SPENT TWO POINT SOME 2.2 MILLION FOR A PLAYGROUND AT DOMINGUEZ PARK.

SO THESE THINGS ARE EXPENSIVE, AND YOU LOOK AT THE STUFF WE JUST INSTALLED A FEW YEARS AGO IN VETERANS PARK, THE GYM, IT'S ALREADY RUSTING AND WE HAD SOME BROKEN CABLES, AND SO, I MEAN, NO MATTER WHERE YOU LOOK, IT SEEMS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS.

SO THEN MAYBE WHAT I'M HEARING IS THREE AND FOUR ARE KIND OF INTERCHANGEABLE FROM EVERYBODY'S POINT OF VIEW OR EQUAL. YEAH. YEAH. SO MAYBE WE DON'T NEED TO MOVE THIS ORDER THEN. ARE THEY CLEARLY ABOVE FIVE. RIGHT. I MEAN FIVE IS DEFINITELY THE LAST OF THE PRIORITY GOALS HERE.

OH NO. ENVIRONMENTAL IS NUMBER ONE. I DON'T THINK I DON'T I DON'T THINK THERE'S VALUE IN NUMBERING EACH OF THESE AT THIS LEVEL. I THINK THE SUB TIERED ITEMS COULD BE PRIORITIZED.

SO YOU ALMOST WANT TO SEE US TAKE THIS CONVERSATION.

YEAH. I'D PUT A BOX BESIDE EACH GOAL ON GOAL.

YOU KNOW THIS THE SECOND LEVEL GOALS OR THIRD LEVEL WHATEVER, AND THEN PUT A, YOU KNOW, LIKE GREEN YELLOW RED.

[02:25:04]

THAT'S LIKE A RED. THAT'S PROBABLY AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LIST, AND ONE AND TWO ARE THIS, YOU KNOW, GREENS AND THE MIDDLE ONES YELLOW OR WHATEVER NOMENCLATURE WE COME UP WITH.

SO WITHIN THE GOAL, WHAT THE OBJECTIVES ARE GIVING SOME PRIORITY ORDER TO THAT.

YOU CAN DO A HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW WITHIN EACH OF THESE WHICH EACH OF THESE CATEGORIES I WOULD SAY PRIMARY INVESTMENT THIS YEAR, SECONDARY INVESTMENT THIS YEAR AND THEN FUTURE TERTIARY RIGHT.

YEAH. WELL WE'LL DO ONE, TWO, THREE BECAUSE YOU MIGHT HAVE 3 OR 4, BUT THE UNDERSTANDING BEING, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A ONE UP THERE THAT'S THAT AND YOU HAVE DISCRETION, YOU SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON THAT.

IF THERE'S EXTRA MONEY THEN TWO AND THEN THREE IS TARGETED.

I'M GAME FOR THAT. THAT HELPS US. I MEAN, IF YOU ALL WANT TO SPEND THE TIME TO SORT OF IT'S NOT THAT MANY AT THIS LEVEL.

WHEN WE GET DOWN TO THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES, THAT WOULD GET MORE AND MORE.

SO WE WANT TO PUT THEM IN THREE CATEGORIES HIGH, MEDIUM AND I DON'T WANT TO CALL THEM LOW.

MAYBE WE HAVE FOUR I DON'T KNOW I'M JUST I'M TRYING TO PROVIDE SOME TOOLS THAT WE ALL OF US, SOME TOOLS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS, WHEN SOMETHING COMES UP AT THE COUNCIL MEETING, WE CAN GO, WELL THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GREEN AND SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE OF OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVES IS AT THIS TIME, LET'S HEAR FROM THE COUNCIL ON THIS. YEAH I'M OKAY DOING PRIORITY ORDER.

OR HOW ABOUT GREEN YELLOW RED MAYBE GO AIR FORCE AND DO BLUE GREEN YELLOW RED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YEAH. YEAH. SO I DO 1, 2, 3, 4 BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO SORT AND THAT DOESN'T MATTER.

WE MAY HAVE EQUAL STUFF. THERE COULD BE TWO THINGS IN A CATEGORY.

THERE IS THERE ARE FURTHER SIGNALS TO US WHAT TRULY IS PRIOR TO ALL OF YOU, BUT WE CAN'T MAKE EVERY GOAL A PLATINUM GOAL OR WHATEVER WE'RE GOING TO DO HERE. WE GOT TO SORT THESE. WE GOT WE GOT TO PUT THEM INTO CATEGORIES.

SO AND YOU DEFINE IT MAYOR I THINK YOU SAID, YOU KNOW IF THERE'S DISCRETIONARY FUNDING THAT WAS NUMBER ONE.

THAT'S WHERE THE DECISION NEEDS TO GO OKAY. IS THAT A KIND OF ROUGH DEFINITION OF WHAT NUMBER ONE IS.

WELL YEAH IT'S MEDIA ATTENTION FIRST AND FOREMOST.

IT'S YEAH. IF COUNCIL CALL IT ULTIMATELY BECOMES HOW YOU WANT TO SORT THESE SCOTT. WELL I LIKE THE IDEA OF PUTTING SOME PRIORITY.

I ALSO THINK OF, YOU KNOW, FLEXIBILITY OVER THE YEAR AND NOT BEING LOCKED IN ON A PARTICULAR ONE GOAL ABOVE THE OTHER.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE WATERFRONT AND SAY, SAY WE MOVE WATERFRONT TO TWO OR WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY ON ARTESIA.

ARTESIA IS NUMBER TWO. YOU KNOW, IT BECOMES ALMOST TOO RIGID, PERHAPS.

SO UNLESS YOU NEED SPECIFIC DIRECTION. WELL, WHAT WE.

SO MAYBE ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT IS ROLL IT UP A TOUCH, AND JUST MAYBE WE PICK FIVE OF THESE OR SIX THAT YOU WOULD PUT A PRIORITY TAG ON AND EVERYTHING ELSE. I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF PRIORITY OR NOT PRIORITY, BUT I DON'T, BUT WE WOULDN'T TREAT IT THAT WAY. THEY ALL MADE THE PLAN. THEY'RE ALL GOALS.

THEY'RE ALL ON THE PLAN. SO IT'S HIGH OR MEDIUM, BUT I MEAN WE'VE GOT TO BE JUDICIOUS HERE.

WE CAN'T WE CAN'T APPLY THAT STANDARD TO ALL OF THE.

BECAUSE HOW MANY DO WE HAVE NOW JANE. WE'VE GOT FOUR THERE.

EIGHT, 1114. YEAH, BUT SOME OF THESE ARE FOND OR DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

NO I GET IT. 17 AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT DOING THERE'S NONE THERE.

THAT ONE'S GONE. OH 16. THAT'S RIGHT. SO NOT ALL 16 OF THEM CAN BE PRIORITY.

I MEAN, THAT'S THE I AGREE. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET. THAT'S WHAT THE RUB IS HERE.

SO LET'S MAYBE SIX OF THE 16 COULD BE PRIORITY.

REALISTICALLY, I WOULD THINK AND WITHIN EACH AREA WE CAN PRIORITIZE.

BUT I WOULD MAKE THE CASE BASED ON WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM ALL OF YOU. THE TOP THREE GOALS HERE WOULD BE PRIORITY AMONG VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

EACH OF THOSE ECONOMIC VITALITY ITEMS, ARTESIA WATERFRONT AND BECOME A BUSINESS DESTINATION WOULD ALL GET SLAPPED WITH THE PRIORITY TAG.

YEAH, ABOVE EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING ELSE. IT ALSO CAME UP ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE FROM YOU.

ALL FROM WHAT'S REVENUE? FROM ALL OF YOU? IT WAS THE REVENUE CONNECTION.

ALSO THAT SOME OF THESE OTHER THINGS DON'T HAPPEN WITHOUT WITHOUT REVENUE BEING IN PLACE.

THESE ARE SORT OF FOUNDATIONAL. I THINK IT WAS ONE OF THE OTHER REASONS IT WAS COMING TO THE TOP.

SO SO I THINK IT'S A WORTHWHILE EXERCISE, BUT WE'VE GOT TO AGREE WHERE WE KIND OF LAY IT OUT THERE.

[02:30:06]

YEAH. SO WHAT WE COULD DO MAYBE LET'S TRY THIS REAL QUICK AS WE FINISH GOING THROUGH THESE.

HOW ABOUT WE CHOOSE ONE FROM EACH AND SEE. DO YOU WANT TO SEE HOW THAT.

IF I WERE TO BE PRIORITIZING THESE I WOULD BE DOING IT AT THE OBJECTIVE LEVEL.

RIGHT. BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE MAKING THE ACTUAL BUDGETARY DECISIONS. I THINK FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, IT WOULD BE ONE LEVEL BELOW THESE, BECAUSE THESE ARE ALL IMPORTANT, AND I THINK YOU'VE PUT THEM IN A PRIORITY ORDER HERE.

IT'S ONE, TWO AND MAYBE THREE. RIGHT NOW THEY'RE JUST HEAVIER.

THEY'RE JUST MEATIER HEAVIER. THERE'S SO MUCH MORE ON THE PLAN THAT GOES TO THEM.

RIGHT, BUT I'M GETTING DOWN INTO IMPLEMENTATION LEVEL STUFF THAT THE CITY MANAGER WOULD WEIGH IN ON.

WELL, MAYBE IF WE GO AROUND THE ROOM, SEE WHAT THE COUNCIL WANTS TO DO. HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO PUT A PRIORITY TAG ON THESE? HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO WORK IT THROUGH OBJECTIVES? YEAH. TO START, I LIKE THE POINT. JANE HAD MADE NUMBER ONE ECONOMIC VITALITY.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE FOCUSING ON THAT SO MUCH DRAWS FROM THAT CITY SERVICES REVENUE ENHANCING THE CITY. SO IT'S TOUGH TO TAKE TAKE AN ITEM FROM A LOWER LEVEL AND SAY, WE'RE GIVING THAT PRIORITY WHEN IT'S LIKE, WELL, WE GOT TO GIVE PRIORITY TO NUMBER ONE. SO IT SEEMS NATURAL THAT THE PRIORITIES ARE THE PRIORITIES AND THAT WE NEED NOT GO INTO PRIORITY NUMBER SIX AND GIVE AN ITEM THERE PRIORITY OVER ANYTHING IN PRIORITY NUMBER ONE.

THAT'S MY KIND OF. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS RIGHT NOW THERE IS SOME PRIORITY GOING ON AND IT'S THIS ORDER.

WELL, I MEAN THAT'S MY REACTION. I OTHERS MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT VIEWS.

BRAD I'LL JUST GO DOWN THE LINE. I THINK WE'RE GOOD LIKE THIS, AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT OUR PRIORITIES ON THE NEXT LEVEL DOWN BECAUSE.

YEAH. GOAL YOU KNOW, 3.1 PROBABLY WON'T EVER BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN 1.1, BUT GOAL 4.1 MIGHT ACTUALLY POP UP ABOVE 3.1 AT SOME POINT. SO I DON'T WANT TO GO ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY GETTING INTO REALLY BIG SPECIFICS, AND I THINK WHAT WE'RE CALLING PRIORITIES, AND MAYBE THAT'S THE WRONG WORD IS TOO BROAD TO SAY.

THIS ONE IS ABOVE ALL ELSE BECAUSE WE GOT TO INVEST, WE GOT WE GOT TO SPEND MONEY AGAINST ALL OF THOSE.

IF WE IGNORED EVERYTHING BUT ONE, YOU KNOW. NEXT YEAR THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUNCH OF EMERGENCIES ON OUR HAND.

I'LL KEEP GOING DOWN THE LINE, CHAD. EXCUSE ME.

I MEAN, I SORT OF AGREE WITH BRAD IN THE SENSE THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, ECONOMIC VITALITY IS NUMBER ONE, BUT ITEM 1.4, PCH IS PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, DOWN BELOW 6.1.

YEAH, EXACTLY. SO I THINK WITHIN EACH CATEGORY, BROADLY SPEAKING, THEY'RE IN THE RIGHT GENERAL ORDER, BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WITHIN EACH NEW STRATEGIC GOAL THERE, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY 1 OR 2 WITHIN EACH ONE THAT ARE TOP AND MAYBE, YOU KNOW, IF WE GO THE LEVEL BELOW, IT'S NOT WORTH US DOING IT AS A GROUP HERE, BUT BECAUSE SOME OF THIS WILL HAPPEN WITHIN A CERTAIN DEPARTMENT AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO ALLOCATE, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE THE FUNDING BECAUSE IT'S FROM A GRANT, AND SO LET THEM PRIORITIZE AND COME BACK AS A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL, AND THEN THE COUNCIL BLESSES IT. WELL, THAT WE COULD DO SOME OF THAT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THERE TO BE AN EXPECTATION THAT WE'RE POPULATING EVERY ONE OF THESE GOALS IMMEDIATELY. I MEAN, THE REALITY IS, I NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL ON WHAT YOU'RE ENVISIONING AND UNDER AS OBJECTIVES UNDER SOME OF THESE CATEGORIES, RIGHT? I MEAN, WELL, MAYBE OKAY, I CAN LAY OUT MAYBE WE DON'T PRIORITIZE YET.

YEAH, I CAN LAY OUT MOST OF WHAT YOU NEED IN GOALS ONE THROUGH THREE, AND OBVIOUSLY THE MEASURE FP STUFF, AND WE WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR YOU ON THE OBJECTIVES, BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE A LIMIT TO HOW MANY WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO PLACE UNDER THESE ITEMS. IS THAT WHERE WE NEED YOUR GUIDANCE THOUGH ALSO.

WELL, YOU'LL GET THAT IN REAL TIME, BUT IF YOU'VE GOT IDEAS UNDER HERE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE AS PART OF THIS STRATEGIC PLAN, I NEED TO HEAR THEM TODAY SO WE CAN MARINATE ON THOSE AND COME BACK TO YOU WITH WORDING AND SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SO YOU DON'T THINK THAT YOU COULD GO WITH THE BROAD AREAS THAT WE'VE HAD HERE TODAY AND POPULATE IT, PLUS THE INPUTS WE'VE GOT? OH, NO, I THINK I CAN, I JUST I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU EVERYTHING POTENTIALLY THIS COUNCIL WANTS TO HEAR.

[02:35:05]

ONE'S AN EASY ONE. EVEN TWO'S KIND OF AN EASY ONE, BUT I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW LET'S GO BACK UP TO TWO JUST FOR A SECOND.

I CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT IN 2.1, AND BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU PROBABLY ANYTHING IN TWO FOUR RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO COME UNDER THE BUDGET, AND THEN TWO TWO AND TWO THREE.

I NEED TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT. WE WOULD NEED TO HEAR FROM PROBABLY PAIGE HAS GOT SOME IDEAS ON MENTAL HEALTH RESPONSE.

OUR STAFF ARE WORKING ON SOME OF THOSE INITIATIVES. GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY OBJECTIVES ARE CRITICAL TO THE COUNCIL FOR THAT AND OUR NEXT STEPS IN HOMELESS.

I'M SURE JOY AND I COULD POPULATE THAT FAIRLY EASY.

IS THERE ANYTHING PARTICULAR UNDER GOAL THREE TWO AS AN EXAMPLE, THE COUNCIL WANTS TO TALK ABOUT OR MAKE A PRIORITY.

I MEAN THAT'S EVERY FACILITY IN THE CITY. SO WE GOT FEEDBACK FROM THE YOUTH CENTER ABOUT THE YOUTH COMMISSION, ABOUT PROGRAMING THE TEEN CENTER. I'M SURE WE'RE ON THE PATH TO DO THAT, BUT I THINK WE WANT TO KEEP THAT IN THE SIX MONTH GOAL.

LIKE, HEY, LET'S HAVE IF WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION OR WE NEED TO ALLOCATE MONEY FOR IT IN THE BUDGET TO PROGRAM THE TEEN CENTER, AND I THINK WE WANT TO DO THAT. WE WANT TO EVALUATE WHETHER WHETHER BEACH CITIES TRANSIT NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED AT ALL TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS.

I MEAN, THOSE ARE THE TWO REQUESTS THEY HAVE, RIGHT? A THIRD PLACE LIKE HOME AND TRANSIT.

SO I THINK THOSE THOSE ARE TWO ITEMS UNDER THREE T WO.

RIGHT. SO AND THAT'S AND THOSE ARE GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

RIGHT. SO BUT I MEAN WE COULD TALK WILDERNESS PARK.

WE COULD TALK THE HISTORIC LIBRARY AT VETERANS.

I MEAN, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS UNDER THREE TWO. RIGHT. WE TALKED PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.

WE COULD TALK. DALE PAIGE PARK. WE COULD TALK FRANKLIN PARK.

I MEAN, SO THAT'S WHERE SOME OF THESE GOALS ARE GOING TO NEED.

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL. WHAT'S TOP OF MIND WITHIN THAT? BECAUSE BECAUSE FRANKLY, AS IT RELATES TO THE STRAT PLAN THREE, ONE IS GOING TO GET IS, IS GOING TO BE PROBABLY THE FIRST THING, AND THEN FP IS GOING TO BE A BIG BUILDOUT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING THERE TOO.

SO WELL, WELL LIKE 31I WOULD SAY AN INVENTORY WITH THE CONDITION WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP, AND THEN WE CAN PRIORITIZE WHICH ONES WE INVEST IN BASED ON THAT. YEAH. THAT WOULD BE THE LOGICAL OBJECTIVE UNDER THREE ONE.

THAT'S ONE THAT I THINK WE WOULD WE WOULD START WITH THERE.

CITY HALL AND PUBLIC WORKS . RIGHT. RIGHT, AND THERE.

YEAH, AND OF COURSE, THIS ISN'T THE PLACE TO LIST OUR FAVORITE CAPITAL PROJECTS.

I MEAN, THAT'S THE OTHER PART OF THIS, RIGHT? IT'S SOME OF THAT WILL TRICKLE INTO BUDGET, RIGHT? SOME OF THE CRITICAL CAPITAL PROJECTS MAYBE GET LISTED HERE BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SPECIFIC EFFORTS, BUT WE CAN'T LIST IT ALL. BUT MAKE SURE I'M NOT SURE IF I HEARD FROM ZEIN OR PAIGE YET.

ON PRIORITIZATION. IF YOU'RE HAVING ANY FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.

THOUGHTS ON THIS? IT LOOKS GOOD. I MEAN, I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT FP HAS TO COME FIRST BECAUSE IT'S A RACE AGAINST INFLATION, AND WE KNOW WHAT THE INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT IS RIGHT NOW.

UNCLEAR HOW IT'S GOING TO CHANGE IN THE FUTURE, AT LEAST FOR MUNICIPALITIES.

SO BUT JUST THE CONCEPT OF PRIORITIZING IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT ONE LAYER BELOW ONCE WE HEAR MORE.

PAIGE, ANY THOUGHTS? PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. I THINK PRIORITIZING ALL OF THIS IS IMPORTANT.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT NUMBER ONE AND TWO ARE TOP OF MIND, AND THEN, I MEAN, I WOULD ASK STAFF LIKE YOUR CAPACITY TO DELIVER ON THOSE THAT WE PICK.

YOU KNOW, IF IT'S I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GENUINELY POSSIBLE.

SO THAT WE'RE SETTING EXPECTATIONS THAT ARE REALISTIC.

I MEAN, WE NEED TO STRETCH OURSELVES, OF COURSE, BUT AT LEAST HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING SO THAT OUR NEXT MEETING, WE'RE JUST CROSSING THEM OFF. RIGHT. WELL, CROSSING OFF IS ON FP OFF THE TABLE.

SO HOW MUCH WORK IN THE NEXT MEETING? SO, I GUESS, HOW MUCH WORK DO WE WANT TO PUT IN TONIGHT THEN.

SO TYPICALLY. RIGHT, WHAT WE DO IN THIS PROCESS WE IDENTIFY THESE THESE GOALS AND GRANTED WHAT'S GOOD IS WE'VE GOT MORE SPECIFICITY IN THE GOALS THIS YEAR, WHICH I THINK STARTS TO LOGICALLY LEND ITSELF TO THE NEXT SET OF OBJECTIVES, BUT DO YOU WANT TO INFLUENCE THE LIST OF OBJECTIVES NOW, OR DO YOU, TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, JUST WANT US TO TAKE A CRACK AT IT AND THEN YOU FILL IN THE BLANKS LATER.

THE PROBLEM IS THIS GOES FROM MORE OF A CONSTRUCTIVE ENVIRONMENT, OR A KIND OF A TWO WAY DIALOG TO WHERE NOW WE GET IT OUT INTO THE OPEN SESSION KIND OF COUNCIL MEETING, AND IT'S A YES OR NO EQUATION WITH PUBLIC INPUT AND EVERYBODY COMING DOWN AND SAYING,

[02:40:06]

SO I WOULD SAY THAT GETTING PRIORITY FROM ALL THE GOALS THAT WE PICKED HERE, YOU HAD MENTIONED MAYBE SELECTING 6 OR 7 OF THEM FROM THE ENTIRE LIST. GOALS ONE THROUGH FIVE.

I WOULD BE MORE IN FAVOR OF THAT THAN GOING THROUGH EACH SPECIFIC GOAL AND PICKING THE TOP OF THAT.

I THINK THE STAR SYSTEM, KIND OF THE STAR SYSTEM.

YEAH, BECAUSE IF YOU ALL APPLY THE STAR SYSTEM TO THESE GOALS, IT'S GOING TO BECOME VERY CLEAR TO US RIGHT AWAY WHERE WE'RE APPLYING OUR EFFORTS.

YEAH. WELL, AND WE CAN DO THAT OR WE CAN JUST TALK IT THROUGH, BUT I CAN, BUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS IS WE CAN WE COULD GET PUBLIC INPUT AND WE CAN COME BACK AND WE COULD START TO LAY OUT WHAT OBJECTIVES WE WOULD PUT UNDER HERE AND THEN AND THEN MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.

THE OTHER THING I THINK, WITH GETTING AT THE OBJECTIVE LEVEL IS SEEING WHERE YOU HAVE THE MOST MEAT ON SOME OF THESE, RIGHT, AND WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, OH, THAT IS MUCH BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT. OR, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT REALLY IS.

SO THAT MIGHT HELP INFORM THIS CONVERSATION. YEAH, BUT I'M ALSO KICKING THAT TO A LATER TIME, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN EITHER.

WELL, IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY OF THE OBJECTIVES WE'RE GOING TO BAKE UP TONIGHT. I MEAN, IF WE GO THROUGH THE TRADITIONAL PROCESS WHERE WE GO THROUGH EACH OF THESE GOALS AND LIST THE OBJECTIVES WE WANT TO INCLUDE, WE'LL HAVE FULL CLARITY ON WHAT.

THEN I WOULD I WOULD PROPOSE AT THAT POINT ONCE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARITY THEN WE COULD START TO PRIORITIZE WITH MORE INFORMATION.

IS THAT RIGHT? OKAY. I THINK IT WILL HELP TO HAVE THE OBJECTIVES.

YEAH, AND JUST THE REALITY OF LIKE HOW MUCH WORK SOMETHING IS OR WHAT'S BUDGETED OR WHAT'S NOT, AND WE USUALLY WE USUALLY COLLECTIVELY MOVE THROUGH THE OBJECTIVES PRETTY QUICKLY.

I MEAN WE DON'T WE DON'T WORDSMITH THEM ANYMORE.

WE BUILD THEM OUT CONCEPTUALLY AND THEN WE HAVE A FRAMEWORK TO WORK WITH.

I MEAN, REMEMBER THE VALUE IN THIS IS THAT I'M HEARING, YOU KNOW, WE AS STAFF ARE HEARING FROM YOU ALL.

IT'S NOT IT'S A TWO WAY DIALOG. IT'S NOT JUST A ONE WAY.

IT'S WORTH THE CONVERSATION TONIGHT, I THINK.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE COMPARING TO AN OLD PARADIGM THAT HAS SHIFTED TONIGHT A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE BEFORE WHAT WE CALL CURRENT GOAL, THAT WAS THE GOAL, AND THEN THE OBJECTIVES WERE KIND OF A BASTARDIZATION OF WHAT WE'RE CALLING GOALS NOW, PLUS SOME MORE, SOME TACTICAL OBJECTIVES. SO WE'RE COMING UP WITH KIND OF A NEW A NEW STRATEGY HERE.

I FEEL LIKE HAVING DONE STRATEGIC PLANS IN GOVERNMENT AND IN, IN, YOU KNOW, BIG BUSINESS.

WHAT'S MISSING IS I FEEL LIKE WE'RE KIND OF LIKE A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND YET WE'RE COMING UP WITH TACTICAL STUFF, WHICH IS GENERALLY PET. USUALLY PET PROJECTS ARE AN AREA THAT WE'VE DUG INTO.

WHAT'S MISSING IS THE OPERATIONAL ELEMENTS COMING IN AND SAYING, YOU'VE GIVEN US BROAD DIRECTION.

HERE'S HOW WE RECOMMEND YOU GO EXECUTE ON THIS WITH PRIORITIES BASED ON RESOURCES, TECHNOLOGY CONSTRAINTS, THINGS LIKE THAT. THINGS LIKE THAT AND I FEEL LIKE WE'RE SHOOTING IN THE DARK WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE GET OUR PET PROJECT, I WANT WILDERNESS PARK TO HAVE $10 MILLION, AND THEN I'M GOOD WITH YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT GOAL WAS, AND THAT'S WHY I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO DO.

WE CAN DO IT. THE CHALLENGE IS WE'RE GOING TO LOSE.

WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THE INTIMACY OF THIS ENVIRONMENT.

WHEN YOU REACT TO THE OBJECTIVE SETTING PROCESS.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO THIS NEXT ITEM COMES BACK AS A DISCUSSION WITH THE PROPOSED LIST OF OBJECTIVES.

THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOME DISCIPLINE AT THAT POINT ON THE COUNCIL'S PART.

IT ALMOST LENDS ITSELF TO ANOTHER WORKSHOP. THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING WE EITHER DO THAT WORK IN PART NOW AND INFORM THAT NEXT STEP, OR WE BREAK AND COME BACK, YOU KNOW, WE RECESSED TO ANOTHER SESSION TWO WEEKS FROM NOW OR WHENEVER IT IS TO EVALUATE THE DRAFT. SO I'M NOT SURE. YEAH.

THEN WHY DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM JUST HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC, TAKING A BREAK AND THEN COMING BACK AND FILLING IN THE CONTINUING.

YEAH. FILLING IN WHAT OBJECTIVES DO THE JOB THAT WE NORMALLY DO HERE IN TWO WEEKS.

NO, NO. RIGHT. YEAH. CONTINUING ON AND APPRECIATING WHAT THE MAYOR IS SAYING IS THAT YOU ARE KIND OF TRANSITIONING THE MODEL THAT YOU'VE USED IN THE PAST.

[02:45:04]

MIKE. YEAH. NO, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PREPARED TO DO.

I MEAN, I'M SENSITIVE TO THE FACT THAT IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE FOR US TO HAVE BAKED OBJECTIVES AND BE ABLE TO REACT TO IT.

IT WOULD ALWAYS MAKE IT EASIER TO START FROM, BUT WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN COALESCING AROUND INITIATIVES UNDERNEATH GOALS THAT WE SET AS A GROUP. SO IT TAKES WORK. IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT IT'S A GOOD STARTING POINT.

IT'S EASIER FOR US TO FILL IN THE GAPS AT THE END OF THE LINE IF WE DO IT.

SOME OF THE WORK NOW AND OBVIOUSLY SOME OF THESE GOALS ARE GOING TO LEND THEMSELVES TO VERY CLEAR OBJECTIVES AND OTHERS ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A COLLECTIVE GROUP.

THINK ON PRIORITY. WELL, I'VE STILL GOT YOU HERE AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET FOOD.

SO YOU MIGHT JUST HAVE TO KEEP AT THIS FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER.

MAYOR DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A GOOD NEXT STEP TO KIND OF CONTINUE WHERE WE ARE OR.

WELL, I MEAN, I'M THE ONE WITH THE GROUP CONSENSUS.

I CAN SEE GOING ONE LEVEL DOWN ON OBJECTIVES, BUT I WOULDN'T COUNT THAT AS THE BE ALL, END ALL.

I THINK WE NEED THAT FEEDBACK ON WHAT'S WHAT'S PRACTICAL AND EXECUTABLE AND WHAT HAVE WE MISSED BECAUSE WE'RE NOT HERE.

WE'RE NOT HERE EVERY DAY. RIGHT, AND WHAT DID WE MISS THAT WE DON'T KNOW OF THAT YOUR DEPARTMENTS COULD COME IN AND SAY THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND YOU MISSED IT, BUT GO AHEAD JANE. YEAH. I GUESS MY MY THING IS HE WORKS IN THE CITY EVERY DAY.

HE'S DIRECTING THE CITY. HE KNOWS ALL THE DIFFERENT PARTS AND HOW TO MOVE, YOU KNOW, AND STAFF WILL LET HIM KNOW HOW THEY NEED TO MOVE THEIR DEPARTMENTS.

THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO SHAPE THE WAY THE CITY IS MOVING FORWARD IN WHAT WE THINK STRATEGICALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE CITY FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE, AND I'M SURE MIKE WILL LET US KNOW WHEN WE'RE, LIKE OVERLOADING THEM WITH NOW NEW, NEW OBJECTIVES OR NEW THINGS TO DO OR THAT OKAY, WE'RE FULL, RIGHT? BUT THE COMMENTS I'VE GOTTEN BACK ON THE WAY WE'VE DONE IT IN THE PAST IS ONE, IT'S AN EXECUTABLE BECAUSE IT'S TOO MANY AND TWO, WE HAVE THINGS THAT ARE REALLY BIG STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES, AND THEN THERE'S, YOU KNOW, GO PAINT SOME POLES GREEN RIGHT, AND SURE, AND I GUESS NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR US TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE. IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE'D LIKE TO ACHIEVE IN THE NEXT YEAR OR, YOU KNOW, WHATNOT, GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF THAT NOW, OR AT LEAST WHEN THEY COME BACK WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN PAGE.

DID YOU WANT TO ASK? I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, DO WE HAVE CONSENSUS IN JUST THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE OBJECTIVES AFTER WE EAT? I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TAKE INPUT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALL RIGHT.

YEAH. DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT? SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE PROCESS AND MAYBE ADJUST AS NEEDED AS WE CAN.

WE'RE TRANSITIONING AND WE WILL NOW MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENT, AND I BELIEVE WE'VE GOT A MIC OUT IN THE AUDIENCE.

SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT PLEASE STAND UP, AND I THINK IF SOMEBODY'S WATCHING FOR VIRTUAL ATTENDEES, YOU WATCH FOR THAT. GREAT. ALL RIGHT. NOBODY ELSE WANTS TO GO.

I'LL GO. HI, I'M JIM MUELLER. I LIVE IN DISTRICT FIVE, AND THIS HAS BEEN A VERY INTERESTING HEARING, ALL OF THE PERSPECTIVES, AND WHEN I MOVE IN PUBLIC SPACES AMONG THE GROUPS THAT I BELONG TO AND LOOK AT THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IT SEEMS LIKE WHAT I HEAR IS THIS.

AND PLEASE DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S NO PROGRESS IN SOME KEY AREAS.

THE GALLERIA BEING THE MOST OFTEN MENTIONED. PROLIFERATION OF SCRUFFY BUSINESSES MOVING INTO LEGACY SPACES ON ARTESIA AND THE.

GENERAL PLAN AND THE AKP TAKING SO FOREVER, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO GET DONE.

SO AGAIN, LIKE I SAY, DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I REALLY LIKED THE MAYOR'S PERSPECTIVE WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT GOALS. HE SAID, THIS IS WHAT I HEARD ANYWAY. HE SAID, DON'T GENERALIZE.

MOVE TOWARD A SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE.

DON'T WAIT FOR BUSINESSES TO COME TO US. GO AFTER THE BUSINESSES WE WANT AND MAKE THE CHANGES NECESSARY TO GET THOSE DONE.

[02:50:03]

KEEP THEM INFORMED, AND I THINK THE PUBLIC REALLY LIKES SPECIFIC THINGS, AND THEY LIKE TO HEAR OFTEN ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE GOING.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK. ALL OF YOU DO, AND WE LOVE OUR REDONDO BEACH.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE PUBLIC ART WILL ALSO BE ENGAGED WITHIN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

IT WILL HELP VISITORS, AND ALSO FOR THE FUTURE, FOR THE OLYMPICS WHEN IT COMES.

ALSO, I WANT TO SAY ACKNOWLEDGMENT FOR OWNING.

PRESERVING HISTORICAL HOMES HAS SUCH AN IMPACT WITH SUSTAINABILITY ON OUR ENVIRONMENT, IT REDUCES THE NEED FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS ASSOCIATED WITH ENERGY CONSUMPTION.

NEW CONSTRUCTION INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT EMISSIONS FROM MATERIAL PRODUCTION AND SITE PREPARATION.

WHILE HISTORICAL HOMES OFFER OFTEN ALREADY HAVE SUBSTANTIAL FOOTPRINT WITH POTENTIAL RETROFITTING AND TO ENHANCE ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

SO IT REALLY, REALLY DOES IMPACT ENVIRONMENTALLY, AND MY CARBON FOOTPRINT FROM LIVING IN A 1920S HOME IS, I KNOW LESS THAN ANYBODY'S HERE. SO OWNING HISTORIC OR KEEPING SOME OF OUR HISTORIC HOMES AROUND AND, AND BUILDINGS DOES PROVIDE A LOT OF INTEREST AS WELL AS OUR HISTORY.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOU ALL. APPRECIATE IT. THANKS.

I'M ROGER CARLSON. I'M ON THE HARBOR COMMISSION, AND FROM DISTRICT THREE.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR SUPPORTING THE OBJECTIVES OF THE HARBOR COMMISSION FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

THE COUNCIL AND STAFF HAVE DONE GREAT SUPPORT IN THE HARBOR.

THANK YOU ESPECIALLY FOR FILLING THE ROLE OF HARBOR MASTER.

THAT'S BEEN REALLY VALUABLE. I'M HERE TO UNDERLINE THE COMMISSION'S SUPPORT FOR THE LIST THAT GREG HAS, WHICH I THINK EVERYONE HAS IN THEIR PACKET. ONE ITEM ON THAT IS KIND OF TAKING OR CONSIDERING WHAT THE HARBOR PATROL SHOULD DO TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

IF WE GET THIS GRANT THAT MAY, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY DISPOSE OF MORE BOATS, THE HARBOR PATROL MAY HAVE A ROLE IN THAT.

THEY MAY HAVE THE BEST VISION INTO WHICH BOATS HAVE TO GO.

YOU SAID YOU GOT RID OF 15 BOATS IN THE SOUTH BASIN.

WHAT IS THAT, LIKE 10%? THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE HUNDREDS OF BOATS IF IT'S THE SAME PERCENTAGE IN THE OTHER BASINS.

AND SO THE HARBOR PATROL AND HARBOR MASTER MAY PLAY A ROLE IN PICKING OUT THE RIGHT ONES AND THE WORST OFFENDERS, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN RESCUE SOME BOATS THAT ARE STILL USABLE INSTEAD OF JUST PUTTING THEM ALL IN A WOOD CHIPPER.

THE SECOND THING I'D LIKE TO SAY IS PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE NORTH BASIN.

LAST YEAR, THAT AREA WAS STARTING TO TURN INTO A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, SOME PETTY CRIME UP THERE. THIS YEAR, I KNOW OF A COUPLE OF ASSAULTS WHICH IS A LOT LESS GOOD THAN JUST PETTY CRIME, AND IF THAT CONTINUES AND GROWS, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN THE HARBOR IS GOING TO GET HURT REAL QUICK.

LAST THING I'D LIKE TO MENTION IS WE'VE MENTIONED AMENITIES AND AMENITIES PLAN.

THE INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK LOOKS GREAT, AND THE MAIN HARBOR AREA IS STARTING TO LOOK GREAT.

YOU KNOW, CAPTAIN KIDD'S HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY BUSY.

THE NEW CANTINA IS DOING GREAT. SURF CLUB WILL HOPEFULLY DO GREAT, AND WE'RE GETTING THE WHOLE AREA SLURRIED.

I THINK WITH A LITTLE BIT OF WORK AND A LITTLE BIT OF HELP FROM SOMEONE MORE ARTISTIC THAN ME.

YOU CAN CONNECT INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK TO THAT AREA.

INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK LOOKS REALLY GOOD. IT JUST TOOK SOME BENCHES AND SOME FLOWERS, AND SO JUST TAKING A COUPLE OF THOSE BENCHES AND FLOWERS AND COLOR AND PALETTE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE PARKING LOT IN PAVERS, BUT JUST MAKING SOME LITTLE CONNECTION THERE AND HELP PEOPLE FIND THE WAY FROM THE NEW DINGHY DOCK AND THE SURF CLUB DOWN TO THE INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK MIGHT BE A GREAT THING AND THEN GREG HAS A MUCH LONGER LIST AS WELL.

THANK YOU. THANKS. ALL RIGHT.

NO HANDS RAISED ONLINE. NO HANDS RAISED. OKAY.

SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN THE ROOM READY TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT.

I THINK THAT TAKES US TO DINNER TIME. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, WHERE ARE THEY? OH. ALL RIGHT. DINNER.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE ALL PRESENT AT THIS TIME.

SO THE NEXT STEP IN OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, NOW THAT WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND I THINK USEFUL TIME ON THE GOALS BECAUSE I

[02:55:04]

SO WE WILL GET THIS UP. SO WE'VE ARTICULATED SOME NEW GOALS.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, AND AT THIS POINT, THIS IS THE COUNCIL'S OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN ON HOW WE MIGHT ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, AND I KNOW YOU DO HAVE YOUR. CURRENT PLAN.

THIS PLAN HAS BEEN RECENTLY UPDATED TO SHOW WHAT IS COMPLETE ON IT, BUT IF THERE'S THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CARRIED OVER PLEASE JUST BRING THAT TO MY ATTENTION SO I CAN GET THAT CARRIED OVER. WE DON'T HAVE TO GO LINE BY LINE THROUGH IT.

YEAH. SO ARE YOU READY? YOU'RE READY TO GO. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S JUST JUMP RIGHT INTO IT.

WE'LL START WITH WATERFRONT. ALL RIGHT? I THINK TO DO ANYTHING IN THE FUN FACTORY SPACE WHICH IS DORMANT, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO FIX THE GARAGE. FIX THE GARAGE? I THINK FIXING THE GARAGE HAS TO BE PRIORITY ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES.

YOU MEAN THE EARTHQUAKE RETROFIT? YEAH. SO THERE'S A PROJECT THAT'S FUNDED TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PARKING STRUCTURE THAT IS PART AND PARCEL TO THE FUN FACTORY SPACE.

WE HAVE KIND OF A REVISED STRATEGY TO STAY WITHIN THE FUNDING THERE FOR THAT CIP.

SO WE NEED TO BRING THAT PROJECT FORWARD, BUT THAT IS A KEY PART OF US THEN MARKETING THAT SITE AS AN OPPORTUNITY SITE.

THERE'S A LOGICAL ORDER HERE, AND THIS IS THIS IS FIRST.

YEAH. WHAT ELSE ON WATERFRONT. PROACTIVELY MARKET HAD TWO FUN FACTORY MARKET HALL, MAISON RITZ AND MARKET HALL, AND THE MARKET HALL.

DO WE HAVE CONTROL? AND I THINK THE WAY TO SAY THAT, JANE, SORRY, THERE'S SOME ECHO HERE IS JUST TO SAY, PROACTIVELY MARKET THE IDENTIFIED OPPORTUNITY SITES IN THE IN THE WATERFRONT, AND ON THE MARKET HALL, DO WE HAVE HAVE WE DONE ANY SORT OF FEASIBILITY STUDY ON THE.

WHAT'S PRECURSOR TO THAT IS THE SITING ANALYSIS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOAT LAUNCH RAMP, WHICH WE NOW HAVE A GOOD SOLID DRAFT OF.

WHAT WE THEN NEED TO DO IS IDENTIFY THE COMMERCIAL SPACE THAT CAN BE CARVED OUT FOR THE MARKET HALL, POTENTIALLY. WE HAVE WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER SOME MARKETING PIECES THAT SORT OF GENERALLY DESCRIBE THAT SPACE, AND WE WANT TO TEST THAT WITH THE RETAIL AND KIND OF DEVELOPMENT MARKET TO SEE IF THERE'S INTEREST, AND WE'RE GOING TO START THAT EFFORT AT ICSC IN MAY.

THIS NEXT MONTH, YOU'LL, YOU'LL SEE THE MARKETING PIECES AND SOME OF OUR PROPOSED CONCEPT TERMS AS PART OF A CLOSED SESSION ITEM ON MAY 13TH. IS THERE A SPECIFIC GOAL WE SHOULD HAVE ON THE MARKET HALL? I'M ASKING. I THINK WE'LL CREATE. I THINK THE CONCEPT OF OPPORTUNITY SITES IS SOMEWHAT FLUID.

IT COULD EVOLVE BASED ON WHAT INTEREST WE RECEIVE FROM THE FROM THE KIND OF COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY.

SO I THINK WE WANT TO STAY A LITTLE FLEXIBLE AT THIS POINT, BUT THAT'S THE KEY; THAT IS THE KEY THERE.

SO NEXT UPDATE, THERE MIGHT BE A SPECIFIC GOAL.

YEAH. YES. YES. IT COULD BE EVOLVED AT THAT POINT.

YOU COULD MAKE A POINT TO SAY IDENTIFY THE POTENTIAL MARKET HALL AREA MORE SPECIFICALLY, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

WE DON'T I'M NOT SURE WE WANT TO DO ANYTHING WITH THAT AS A OPEN SESSION DISCUSSION UNTIL WE HAVE SOME FEEDBACK ON THE LEASING STRATEGY SIDE OF THE EQUATION.

SO I THINK WE NEED TO KIND OF DO THAT IN CONCERT WITH THE MARKETING PIECE, AND YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD A HARBOR PIER LEASING STRATEGY.

IS THIS KIND OF WHAT THIS IS? THIS FOLLOWS THE OPPORTUNITY SITES FOLLOW THE LEASING STRATEGY, AND I WOULD WHEN I EDIT THIS I'LL PROBABLY REFERENCE THE LEASING STRATEGY IN THAT OBJECTIVE.

OKAY. I GUESS DO WE WANT TO IDENTIFY LIKE GETTING CONTROL OF SITES THAT ARE CURRENTLY, YOU KNOW, OUT OF OUR CONTROL BUT WOULD BE BETTER IN OUR CONTROL TO BE IT MAISON RITZ OR SPLITTING UP FOR EXAMPLE, THE LEASE. YES, EXACTLY. YEAH. THAT GOES TO I THINK WHAT I WOULD SAY IS DEVELOP AND EXECUTE THE HARBOR LEASING STRATEGY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF THAT WE WANT TO . YEAH.

OKAY. HOW ABOUT SEALING THE INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK? I GUESS THE ROOF ABOVE THOSE STORES THERE. IS THAT SOMETHING? THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO HEAR. THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL PROPOSE AS PART OF THE CIP. WE HAVE A STRATEGY TO FIX THAT.

[03:00:02]

I THINK THAT'S THAT WILL FLOW THROUGH THE CIP.

WE USED TO HAVE THOSE MARQUEE SIGNS ON OUR STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE WATERFRONT.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THOSE? WELL, WE HAD THE WE HAD A STARTS ON MONDAY.

YEAH. THAT'S THE ANSWER WE LIKE TO HEAR NOW, BUT I WILL SAY THERE'S TWO ELECTRONIC SIGNS.

ONE IS BEING INSTALLED, THE FIRST ONES BEING INSTALLED AS A PILOT ON MONDAY, BUT THE BIGGER ELECTRONIC SIGN THAT WAS THE SORT OF PRECURSOR TO THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE ELECTRONIC SIGN ORDINANCE IN THE WATERFRONT.

THAT IS A PROJECT THAT ISN'T FULLY FUNDED, SO THAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT AS PART OF THE CIP SIGNS THAT WOULD GO ON THE SHOPS THAT STICK OUT, THE BLADE SIGNS, THE BLADE SIGNS, THE BLADE SIGNS, THOSE ARE THOSE ARE STARTING ON MONDAY, AND THEN SEPARATELY, WE ALREADY HAVE THE ELECTRONIC SIGN DIRECTORY MARQUEE.

GOT IT. THAT MIKE COOK'S WORKING ON. ALL RIGHT, WHAT ELSE? ON THE WATERFRONT? YEAH. I THINK THE NEXT STEP FOR BOTH BOAT LAUNCH RAMP AND SEASIDE LAGOON SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN THE IN THIS JUST TYPE BOAT LAUNCH AND SEPARATELY SEASIDE AND WE'LL FILL THAT IN.

JOE'S AND GOLD'S GYM WOULD BE UNDER DEVELOP AND EXECUTE HARBOR LEASING STRATEGY. YEAH I THINK SO. I THINK SO I DON'T.

GOLD'S HAS DIFFERENT COMPLICATIONS THAN SOME OF THE OTHER OPPORTUNITY SITES.

SO I THINK WE'LL FLUSH THAT OUT IN CLOSED SESSION.

OKAY. HOW ABOUT LCP AMENDMENT FOR PARKING. I THINK THAT ONE WE SHOULD STILL PUT ON HERE AS A CARRYOVER.

THE MARINA. THAT'S THE LCP AMENDMENT FOR MARINA PARKING STANDARDS.

I THINK THAT IS POTENTIALLY A BARRIER FOR INVESTMENT.

ALL RIGHT. IS THAT GOOD? MAYOR SAYS YES. OH, IS THAT ALL? [INAUDIBLE] YEAH. WHERE WOULD YOU PUT, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ESSENTIALLY IN BASIN ONE, THE SLIP IMPROVEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'RE ON THAT FROM AN ENFORCEMENT STANDPOINT.

THAT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS, AND THEN THE KIND OF PARCELLATION OF THE MAJESTIC LEASEHOLD IS PART OF THE LEASING STRATEGY.

OKAY. WHICH EVENTUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM I THINK LONGER TERM.

SO I'M HEARING THAT'S CAPTURED. I THINK WE'RE CAPTURED EITHER THROUGH NATURAL WORK EFFORTS OR THAT OKAY, WHERE WOULD YOU PUT ORDINANCE FOR RENTALS AND LOANER CRAFT, AND WHAT SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME.

JUST RENTAL SAFETY ORDINANCE FOR THE RENTAL OF WATERCRAFT OR THE LETTING THEM GO FOR FREE, LIKE THE SURF CLUB'S GOING TO DO. THIS WOULD BE A PLACE TO PUT THAT KIND OF AN OBJECTIVE. OKAY. YEAH. OKAY.

CLOSED ON MARINE MAMMAL CARE CENTER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

DOES THAT BELONG ON HERE? THAT'S PART OF THE LEASING STRATEGY, RIGHT? I THINK IT IS. I MEAN, UNLESS YOU WANT TO MAKE IT SPECIFIC.

WELL, THAT'S A SPECIFIC IN PROGRESS. WE'VE BEEN STALLED FOR SIX MONTHS, EIGHT MONTHS, A YEAR.

RIGHT? I SPOKE WITH JEFF MELMAN. I THINK I CAN DISCLOSE THIS, AND I ASKED HIM IF THEY NEEDED ANYTHING ELSE FROM US AT THIS POINT OR IF THEY'RE SATISFIED.

HE SAID, I THINK THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED RIGHT NOW, AND THEY'D BE BACK IN TOUCH IF THEY NEED ANYTHING.

THAT'S FOR THE GALA. THAT'S FOR THE GALLERIA.

NO. HE REPRESENTS MARINE MAMMAL CARE CENTER. JOHN WARNER CALLED ME FRIDAY SAYING, WHERE ARE WE? OH. GOT IT. OKAY. I THINK THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S A LOGICAL OBJECTIVE.

I MEAN, WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS WHAT WE WOULD WELL, WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW IS WE SUBMITTED THAT LETTER ON YOUR DISCRETION TO HCD AND ONCE WE GET FEEDBACK, WE WERE GOING TO START NEGOTIATIONS FOR SOME KIND OF AN OPTION AGREEMENT LIKE WE DID.

LESS OR SO, BUT WHAT WE DID WITH PORT ROYAL TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HOUSING.

SO THAT WOULD TO ME BE THE NEXT STEP IS HEAR BACK FROM HCD AND THEN START NEGOTIATIONS ON SOME KIND OF AN OPTION.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT SEPARATE FROM JUST LEASING STRATEGY BECAUSE THAT'S ACCORDING TO HIM THE IRON IS HOT TO GET FUNDING BECAUSE OF ALL THE NEWS ON THE ON THE MARINE MAMMALS, BUT HE CAN'T GO OUT AND MARKET YET BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW IF HIS BOARD WOULD APPROVE.

WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? WHY DON'T WE PUT IT ON LIKE THAT ALL AT A CLOSED SESSION DATE FOR THE NEXT CONVERSATION? THAT WAY WE'VE GOT A TARGET AND WE'RE TRACKING IT SEPARATELY, BUT OKAY. WHAT ELSE ON WATERFRONT? THAT'S A LOT. IS THIS ENOUGH? YES, YES. DO WE NEED TO PUT SOMETHING ABOUT DEMOLISH JOE'S CRAB SHACK OR.

NO. OKAY. CAPITAL BUDGET ITEM. OKAY. THAT'S FINE.

YEAH. IS THERE IS THERE ANYTHING IF WE ARE DELAYED MUCH LONGER ON MARINE MAMMAL, IS THERE SOME WAY WE CAN SORT OF CLEAN UP,

[03:05:01]

OKAY. A LOT OF THESE CAN CARRY OVER. OKAY. YEAH.

SO, ARTESIA FAR INCREASE AND UNDERSTANDING WHETHER OUR PARKING REGULATIONS ARE ADEQUATELY RELAXED OR IF THEY NEED MORE RELAXING. PUBLIC ART AND BRANDING. I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE IN THE PUBLIC.

YEAH, WE'RE CLOSE ON THAT. WE SHOULD PUT THAT ON THERE. DID WE HIRE A CONSULTANT YET OR.

WE HAVE. THE COMMISSION HAS MADE A RECOMMENDATION. WE HAVE A CONTRACT THAT'S COMING TO YOU IN MAY. AWESOME. SO THAT ONE IS JUST DO PUBLIC ART.

I'LL FILL THAT ONE OUT AND THEN YEAH. OTHER OTHER AACAP IMPLEMENTATION.

THAT'S AACAP. ALL CAPS. YEAH. BECAUSE THERE'S THE PARKLETS AND SIGNAGE STANDARDS, MERGER INCENTIVES, ROOFTOP DINING, ROOFTOP DINING. ALSO, WHAT IS IT? THOSE STREET BANNERS? I THINK WE HAD BUDGETED MONEY FOR IT, BUT WE ACTUALLY NEEDED A PROGRAM.

I THINK THE RBBA SAID THAT THEY COULD BE WILLING TO IMPLEMENT THAT PROGRAM FOR US.

OKAY, SO IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF THESE ARE CARRY OVER.

YEAH. JANE, IT'S REALLY CARRYING OVER ONE, TWO, THREE AND FOUR.

YEAH. YOU GOT IT THERE. THAT'S IT. WE GOT IT ALL.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY THE OPEN SPACE.

WE'RE FINDING THE OPEN SPACE LANGUAGE TO ENSURE THAT IT'S DOABLE.

YEAH. SO THAT WHAT WE MAY WANT TO ADD TO THE AACAP IMPLEMENTATION UP THERE, JUST DO PLUS PLUS OPEN.

SORRY, SCOTT. PLUS PLUS OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENT.

GREAT. IS THIS ENOUGH? IS THIS DOABLE? YEP. DOABLE? YEAH. YOU HESITATED. DEPENDING ON WHAT OUR TIME FRAME IS.

OKAY. THREE YEAR TIME FRAME. WELL, THESE OBJECTIVES TECHNICALLY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE 6 TO 12 MONTHS, I THINK. WELL, AND AS WE KNOW, WE'RE CARRYING THEM OVER FROM THE LAST OBJECTIVE.

SO WHICH WE'VE ACKNOWLEDGED AT THE TIME PROBABLY WAS GOING TO BE TIGHT. YEAH.

THERE'S PHASES TO THIS, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT. THIS ONE WAS, YOU KNOW, BUSINESS FRIENDLY, PERMITTING ALL THE PIECES THAT GO WITH THAT BECOME A BUSINESS DESTINATION. THOUGHTS? YEAH.

IF I'M HAPPY TO FILL THAT ONE IN. FOR US, THERE'S QUITE A BIT TO THAT IT STARTS WITH THE ONE WE SOMEWHAT LAID OUT, OBJECTIVE NINE, WHERE WE IDENTIFY KIND OF IMPEDIMENTS.

THAT'S REALLY IDENTIFIED IMPEDIMENTS TO BUSINESS INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY, AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS SORT OF IN THAT BROAD CATEGORIES. ANY CODE REQUIREMENTS PROCEDURAL ISSUES YOU KNOW, LAND USE, PREFERRED LAND USE, ZONING, ETC..

SO THERE'S A LOT TO THAT ANALYSIS. WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY HAVE FORMED THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THE COUNCIL WILL HAVE APPOINTED THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WE RECOMMENDED A LITTLE WHILE AGO. THAT WILL OCCUR BEFORE WE PROBABLY EVEN ADOPT THIS PLAN. SO WE WILL, ONCE YOU LEAD THAT WITH WORKING WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY.

IMPEDIMENTS. GOTCHA. HOW ABOUT WE DISCUSS WITH MARK THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING OF SOME SORT? YES. SO THAT'S WHAT MARK'S GOT A SERIES THROUGH HIS STRATEGIC PLANNING INITIATIVE.

HE'S GOT A HANDFUL OF OBJECTIVES THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AS STAFF NOW THAT WE WOULD FURTHER POPULATE HERE.

THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF I WORK COMMUNICATING CLEAR PERMITTING TIMELINES IN RESPONSE.

THERE'S A THERE'S GOING TO BE A COUPLE OF DECISION PACKAGES ON KIND OF P LAN CHECK PROCESS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON, AND A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT HE'S WORKING THROUGH.

SO WE CAN. WE'LL ARTICULATE THOSE. YEAH. I THINK A LOT OF THIS IS OPERATIONAL PRIMARILY THROUGH MY DEPARTMENT, AND THEN THERE'S THE CODE SIDE OF IT, TOO, WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT UPDATING THE CODES TO BE MORE BUSINESS FRIENDLY.

AWESOME. THANKS. WE WANT TO WAIT FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY MORE THINGS OR CONTINUE TO ADD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE COULD PUT IN THE ATTRACT SIDE, YOU KNOW, SOME SORT OF MARKETING PLAN OR WORKING WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OR SOME OTHER

[03:10:08]

YEAH. THE PROACTIVE PROACTIVELY SOLICITING BUSINESS TO COME.

IS THAT A SEPARATE ONE? WELL, I THINK IT'S AN OUTGROWTH OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE'S WORK, BUT IT DOESN'T HURT TO LIST THAT AS A SPECIFIC ITEM.

I THINK THAT'S FINE, AND I THINK THE PHASING IS IMPORTANT.

LIKE WE SHOULD MAKE THESE CHANGES BEFORE WE START MARKETING AND DOING THE OUTREACH SO THAT WE CAN DELIVER ON IT.

I DON'T NECESSARILY AGREE THINGS CAN HAPPEN. I THINK IN SOME INSTANCES THINGS CAN HAPPEN IN PARALLEL AND THEN IN OTHERS, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, RIGHT? I MEAN, LIKE THE HARBOR, WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND MARKET.

WELL, YEAH FOR SURE. THIS IS THIS IS SPECIFIC TO I THINK, AND THE IMPEDIMENTS THAT ARE EXISTING FOR BUSINESS TO INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, DUE TO OUR REGULATORY FRAMEWORK, ARE NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO STALL US IN ATTRACTING NEW OPPORTUNITIES.

I UNDERSTAND, AND IT'S A MARKET. ARTESIA'S IN RIGHT.

IT'S A LONG PROCESS TO ATTRACT SOMEBODY. SO IT COULD BE THAT BY THE TIME THAT WE THEY ACTUALLY PULL THE TRIGGER TO COME IN, WE WILL FIX SOME OF THOSE IMPEDIMENTS. SO I DON'T SOME OF THEM ARE IN MOTION FOR FIXING NOW.

SO BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE BIGGER REGULATORY ISSUES, LIKE WHETHER IT BE WHAT'S A BY RIGHT DEVELOPMENT VERSUS WHAT REQUIRES A CUP OR, YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE ISSUES WITH OUR APPEAL PROCESS, YOU KNOW, GIVING TOO MUCH OF AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT.

THOSE ARE CONSIDERED BARRIERS TO THE INVESTMENT COMMUNITY.

SO THERE'S A LOT TO THAT CONVERSATION. YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE BALANCE, AS I ALWAYS SAY, BETWEEN COMMUNITY INPUT IN THE PROCESS AND ECONOMIC CERTAINTY. RIGHT. PLEASE ADD RETENTION TO THAT BECAUSE THERE'S KEY BUSINESSES WE WANT TO RETAIN AND NOT LOSE.

YEAH. YEAH. YEAH, AND I THINK THAT RETENTION WORDING IS IN THE GOAL THAT WE HAVE.

SO GREAT. WE'LL JUST TABLE THAT LIKE IT'S SUCH A FUTURE ITEM.

WE'LL DEAL WITH IT IN DUE TIME. GREAT, AND SO WE'LL JUST NOTE IT FOR FUTURE.

THERE'S SOME GOOD THINGS WE CAN DO. OKAY. THIS IS ABOUT FP, AND SO THE FIRST ONE WITH FP IS TO SELECT AND COMPLETE A CONTRACT WITH THE WHAT WE'RE CALLING BOND PROGRAM MANAGER FIRM, AND THEN SECOND TO THAT IS DEVELOP THE. ACQUISITION.

DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION STRATEGY, AND THOSE ARE REALLY THOSE ARE BIG, AND THEN THE LAST ACTUALLY THE LAST PIECE WOULD BE WORK WITH OUR MUNICIPAL FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO IDENTIFY IN CONCERT WITH OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY DETERMINE THE TIMING FOR BOND ISSUANCE, AND DOES IT FIT THIS TIME OR IS IT THE NEXT? IT'S LIKELY TO BE THE NEXT UPDATE.

HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE CIRCUMSTANCE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL THAT COULD PROMPT US TO ACCELERATE THIS PROCESS IF THEY ELIMINATE THAT FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION STATUS UNDER THE LAW.

WE MAY WANT TO ISSUE BEFORE THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR, AND HOW ABOUT SOMETHING ABOUT THE GRANT FOR THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE? THAT WOULD BE INITIATED. WHAT'S THE NEXT ACTION MILESTONE? SUBMIT GRANT ME THAT ON THIS. YEAH, IT'LL ROLL IN CONCERT WITH THAT.

YEAH. I MEAN, WE COULD PUT YOU IN THERE, THOUGH, YOU KNOW, JANE, WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND PUT FORMATION OF THE.

WE'RE STILL WAITING. FORMATION OF THE CITIZENS OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.

WE MAY NOT ACTUALLY MAKE THE APPOINTMENT, BUT WE SHOULD FORM THE.

WE SHOULD FORM ITS TECHNICAL STRUCTURE WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME.

INSURANCE INSTEAD OF INSURANCE. INSURANCE HAVE TO TYPE ON THE FLY. IT'S EASY TO CRITIQUE, AND THAT'S FOR THE GUN RANGE.

SO WE DID ARTICULATE THREE MORE ON HERE. SO WE'VE GOT MENTAL HEALTH HOMELESS PROGRAMS. WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP ON MENTAL HEALTH MENTAL HEALTH DISSOLVE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION.

IN ORDER TO IMPROVE KYLE'S MENTAL HEALTH.

[03:15:09]

ON ON MENTAL HEALTH RESPONSE, AND THEN.

OH, THAT WOULD BE A NEXT YEAR PROBLEM. THAT MIGHT BE.

WELL, I THINK WHEN WE STAND THIS UP, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DEDICATED TO JUST UNHOUSED.

IT WILL BE. CAN I JUST ASK A QUESTION? IF WE BUDGETED A MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIAN, HOW COME WE DON'T HAVE ONE YET? IS IT LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BARRIERS, NO BARRIERS IN TERMS OF LIKE WE HAVE A MEETING WITH OUTSIDE COUNSEL THIS WEEK.

WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT MALPRACTICE INSURANCE, AND THERE'S JUST BEEN A LOT OF FACTORS AND BARRIERS.

YEAH. THANKS. I MEAN, WE'RE NOT REALLY SET UP TO HAVE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS AN IMPEDIMENT THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT, THAT WE NEEDED TO ADDRESS MANY. OKAY.

THIS IS THIS IS NOT AN EASY STEP FOR AN INDIVIDUAL CITY, BUT CAN BE DONE.

I MEAN, IF WE'RE CONSIDERING THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, I THINK THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT.

THIS IS KIND OF AN EVER EVOLVING PROGRAM. SO THERE'S NOT EXACTLY AN ITEMIZED LIST JUST YET, BUT I THINK IN EXPLORING WITH HERMOSA, IT'LL FORM AS MORE OF A PLAN.

JUST JUST A QUESTION. SINCE IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE TO HIRE A MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIAN, HAVE WE CONSIDERED MAYBE AN RFQ, RFP, WHATEVER, RFI TO SOME MENTAL HEALTH CONTRACTOR WHO COULD COME AND SERVICE OUR CITY? WE ARE WE ALREADY HAVE A CONTRACT WITH DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH AND WE HAVE A CLINICIAN THAT WORKS WITH ONE OF OUR OFFICERS, OUR HOMELESS LIAISON OFFICER, PROVIDING THOSE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES.

IN REDONDO AND ALSO WITH OTHER CITIES AS WELL, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS IS NOT A CITY EMPLOYEE.

SO WE HAVE LIMITATIONS ON THE SCHEDULING, AVAILABILITY, ETC., BECAUSE THE COUNTY IS GOING TO TAKE PRIORITY, BUT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH LA COUNTY AND A CLINICIAN ASSIGNED TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

OKAY. WE'VE LOOKED INTO CONTRACTING WITH A THIRD PARTY THE WAY HERMOSA DOES, AND THAT'S BEEN LIMITING AS WELL BECAUSE THEY'RE HAVING A HARD TIME RETAINING THEIR EMPLOYEES. OKAY. THANKS. OKAY. I THINK I HEARD FROM PAIGE THAT MIGHT BE ENOUGH FOR SIX MONTHS ON THAT .

OKAY. HOMELESS PROGRAM. EXPAND THE PALLET SHELTERS.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE. ARE WE IN DESIGN RIGHT NOW? LAUREN? PALLET SHELTER UPDATE NOW. I GOT CAUGHT RED HANDED.

WE'VE BEEN ... IT'S IN PLAN REVIEW AND PLAN CHECK RIGHT NOW.

SO IT'S WITH BUILDING. IT'S BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 WEEKS.

SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING GETTING THOSE COMMENTS BACK SHORTLY, AND , AND THEN ADDRESSING THEM QUICKLY AND, AND GETTING THEM APPROVED. SO FOR PERMITS, IS THAT A NORMAL TIMELINE FOR PLANS TO BE IN 3 TO 4 WEEKS? THAT'S PROBABLY ON THE SHORT SIDE FOR THE INITIAL FIRST REVIEW.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR YOU, BUT I WOULD SAY IT'S A NORMAL TIME CURRENTLY.

OKAY. YEAH. WHAT ELSE? PURSUE FAMILY. YES.

SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. FIND FUNDING FOR. FIND FUNDING FOR FAMILY.

SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. DO WE THINK THERE'S FUNDING OUT THERE? WELL, THAT DEPENDS ON TED LIU, BUT AND THE COUNTY.

YES, I MEAN, THE COUNTY. THERE THERE COULD BE FUNDING.

WE HAVE MEASURE A THAT JUST PASSED AND THERE'S DEDICATED FUNDS FOR HOUSING.

WE DON'T NEED TO SOLVE IT. JUST FIND FUNDING.

JUST GENERALLY IS A GOOD OBJECTIVE. THAT'S AN ONGOING OBJECTIVE FOR OUR PROGRAM, FOR VIRTUALLY EVERY ELEMENT OF THE

[03:20:04]

OR WOULD THAT BE ONE OF THEIR OBJECTIVES THAT THERE FOR THEM TO WORK WITH US.

OH, JUST BECAUSE THE COST FOR THEIR OWN HOUSING.

NO. THE PARTNERSHIP WITH HERMOSA COULD POTENTIALLY.

WELL, IT IS WITH OUR HOMELESS COURT AND THERE'S A POTENTIAL TO PARTNER WITH THEM IN MENTAL HEALTH RESPONSE.

OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. CONTINUE TO BE A LEADER IN THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.

IS THERE SOMETHING TO BE DONE? ANYTHING NEW ON THE HORIZON, JOE OR BRIAN? TWO THINGS THAT I CAN THINK OF OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. ONE WOULD BE TO OBTAIN THE FAA CERTIFICATE OF WAIVER FOR AUTONOMOUS DRONE USE FOR NOT US DOING THAT. RIGHT. THAT'S AERODOME'S RESPONSIBILITY. WELL, BUT WE'RE WORKING WITH. YEAH, IT'S TRUE, BUT I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THEM TO GET THAT, AND THEN ONCE WE GET THAT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME TO COUNCIL, AND IT COULD.

SO IT WOULD BE A SUPPORT OR WORKING WITH OUR VENDOR.

RIGHT. OBTAIN THE FAA WAIVER. RIGHT. WORKING WITH THAT VENDOR TO OBTAIN FAA WAIVER FOR AUTONOMOUS DRONE USE THROUGH OUR VFR PROGRAM.

MAYBE WE COULD APPLY PRESSURE THROUGH OUR. I THINK WE'RE GETTING REPRESENTATIVES.

I THINK WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE FAA. THEY'RE STARTING TO ISSUE THEM, AND THEN IT'S JUST GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE SUPPORT AND THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING WE NEED FOR THE CONTRACT AND ALL THAT STUFF, BUT THEN WE, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM THERE. I HAD ONE OTHER ONE BRIAN.

THERE WAS I THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROGRAM. THERE WAS A PROGRAM THAT WE CAN USE.

YEAH. BLANKING MY MIND AT THIS VERY SECOND, BUT A PROGRAM WE CAN USE TO TRACK OUR RESOURCES LIKE AN INCIDENT COMMAND PROGRAM.

IF YOU GIVE ME A MINUTE, IT'LL COME BACK TO MY HEAD.

I'M BLANKING ON THE SOFTWARE. YOU KNOW WHAT I. THE OTHER IDEA I HAD, AND , MIKE, I WANTED TO COMMEND MIKE.

I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A GOOD POINT TO TALK ABOUT, LIKE DEVELOPING THE NEW VIDEO SYSTEM IN THE CITY, BECAUSE WE CAN CLEARLY INCORPORATE THAT INTO COMMUNICATIONS FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY STANDPOINT BY ADDING ADDITIONAL CAMERAS THAT ARE ALL IN ONE NETWORK.

WE HAVE THEM COMING INTO DISPATCH AND WAIT, HOW BIG AN INITIATIVE IS THAT, THOUGH? WELL, I THINK JUST IDENTIFYING THE VENDOR BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY DOING I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S A QUESTION FOR MIKE, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE WOULD DEFINITELY BE AN ASPECT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY AND MAKE I MEAN, REALISTICALLY, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE THE VENDOR IDENTIFIED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

SO THEN IS THERE A REASONABLE STEP WITHIN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR SO? IS THIS A NATURAL EVOLUTION TO OUR CURRENT? IT IS AND IT ISN'T.

I MEAN, IT'LL BE MUCH MORE CAPABLE, BUT YES, WE WOULD BE REPLACING WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

WILL THAT CITY VIDEO SYSTEMS LIKE, YOU KNOW, AROUND OR OUTSIDE.

YEAH, WE'RE KIND OF TAKING A BROADER LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE SEPARATE SYSTEMS RIGHT NOW.

SO WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT A REPLACING THE MAIN SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM THAT THE CITY HAS ON LIKE THE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES, BUT BUT ALSO UPGRADING JAIL, UPGRADING THE MOBILE TRAILERS THAT WE HAVE.

I THINK THERE'S A DECISION PACKAGE FOR AN ADDITIONAL MOBILE TRAILER POLE CAMS, TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING INTEGRATED INTO A SINGLE PLATFORM.

SO YOU CONSOLIDATE THE CITY'S CCTV WITH A MILLION TIMES MORE.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT'S HUGE PUBLIC SAFETY. THAT'S.

WELL, I MEAN, THAT ASIDE. RIGHT. BECAUSE THERE'S PRIVACY ISSUES WITH THE EXPANSION OF THE SYSTEM IN GENERAL, BUT THE ONE THING JUST OPERATIONALLY FOR US, THERE'S EFFICIENCY IN US CONSOLIDATING OUR CURRENT CCTV NETWORK.

SO THEN THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WE WOULD WANT TO SUPPORT NOW, AND MAYBE A DISCUSSION AT COUNCIL AS TO WHETHER WE WANT TO EXPAND IT FURTHER INTO SOMETHING LIKE BEVERLY HILLS HOUSE, WHERE IT TRACKS EVERY VEHICLE THAT COMES IN AND OUT OF THE CITY SO THAT SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, STEALS YOU. THAT'S IT. YOU GOT THEM, YOU GET THEIR LICENSE PLATE AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

SEE WHICH WAY THEY WENT? YEAH, MAYBE. DISCUSSION.

DISCUSSION. DISCUSSION ITEM. YEAH. COUNCIL DISCUSSION.

SO I THINK, JANE, IT'S IDENTIFY THE VENDOR AND PROCESS FOR CONSOLIDATING.

YEAH. YEAH, THAT'D BE GOOD. CHANCE TO ALSO INTEGRATE THE NON PUBLIC SAFETY CAMERAS INTO THAT.

WELL WE HAVE THE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS US TO TAP INTO PRIVATE.

YEAH WE LET THAT GO BECAUSE WE, WE KIND OF REACHED A POINT WHERE I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THAT WHOLE DISCUSSION, BUT WE, WE HAD INVOLVEMENT FROM A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE.

IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE PROGRAM, AND WE'VE SHIFTED THAT AWAY, AND WE'RE USING THAT FUNDING FOR THE DATA CONSOLIDATION PLATFORM NOW, WHICH WE'RE SEEING A LOT MORE SUCCESS. I'M TALKING LIKE THE HARBOR CAM.

OH, ALL ALL CITY CAMS ARE PART OF THIS CITY. OKAY, SO THAT'S PART OF THIS IS ALL CITY CCTV.

YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. THIS IS THE HARBOR.

CAM IS NOT RECORDED LIKE THAT. IT'S NOT TREATED LIKE A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA.

IT'S A REAL TIME. YEAH, BUT THIS THIS WOULD BE FOR ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS, BUT WHAT'S THAT?

[03:25:03]

SO IT WOULD ALLOW US TO USE TABLET. TABLET. COMMAND TABLET.

YEAH, IT'S BASICALLY AN IPAD THAT WE CAN TRACK ALL OUR RESOURCES WITH INSTEAD OF WRITING ON THE BACK OF AN SUV, AND WE'LL WORK. WE'LL WORK ON. YEAH. YOU WANT TO DO NEXT GEN 9-1-1, JOE? WE COULD DO NEXT GEN 9-1-1 AND THEN ONE OTHER ONE THAT I'M THINKING ABOUT WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, ANYWAYS, BECAUSE YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT LESS PAPER.

WE'RE LOOKING AT OPTIONS FOR ELIMINATING PAPER FROM THE CITATION PROCESS BECAUSE WE WRITE A LOT OF CITATIONS IN THIS CITY, AND THERE'S A LOT OF STAFF WORK INVOLVED WITH THAT.

WELL, NOW THE TECHNOLOGY IS GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE CITATIONS CAN BE ISSUED WITH QR CODES AND DIGITALLY USING THE CELL PHONES THAT WE ISSUE OFFICERS.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN EXPLORE THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PUT THAT ON THERE, BUT IT'S SOMETHING I PLAN ON WORKING ON STARTING IN JULY, MAYBE PUT THAT AS A FUTURE OBJECTIVE FOR NOW.

HOW ABOUT NERF GUNS TO DISABLE E-BIKES? OH, JEEZ.

CITY ATTORNEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? ALL RIGHT.

CAPTURE ENOUGH. YEAH. OKAY. RENEWAL, MODERNIZATION, RESILIENCE OF ROADS, PUBLIC FACILITIES. I THINK THE FIRST ONE THERE IS JUST IS IDENTIFY THE COST AND PROCESS OR MECHANISM TO INVENTORY THE CONDITION OF CITY FACILITIES AND SLASH LARGE AMENITIES. WE DID THAT RIGHT WITH GRIFFIN.

NO, THEY DID AN ESTIMATE OF COST FOR OUR PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES.

THIS IS US GOING IN AS ALMOST AN ASSET MANAGEMENT TOOL IDENTIFYING, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT 300 LARGE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT, AMENITIES, FACILITIES. THIS IS THE STATUS.

THIS IS ITS CONDITION. THIS IS LAST TIME ITS HVAC SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED.

THIS IS WHEN YOU KNOW IT'S AN INVENTORY THAT WOULD THEN HELP US REALLY DEVELOP REAL TIME NEEDS ANALYSIS, AND THEN HELP US MORE PROACTIVELY MANAGE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS.

IT'S ACTUALLY A TOOL, AND HE'S BEEN KICKING AROUND WITH MIKE AND THE TEAM FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

WE JUST NOT QUITE SURE HOW EXPENSIVE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE RIGHT SYSTEM.

YOU CAN DO WORK ORDER MANAGEMENT TO AND THEN YEAH, WE OUR WORK ORDER SYSTEM ISN'T IDEAL RIGHT NOW.

IT'S PROBABLY SHOULD BE UPDATED BUT THIS I WE CAN COMMIT TO RESEARCHING THIS.

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN COMMIT TO AFFORDING THIS YET.

SO YEAH, WE NEED TO KICK THE TIRES ON THIS BECAUSE THOSE CAN RANGE FROM, YOU KNOW, $50,000 TO $2 MILLION TO IMPLEMENT ONE OF ONE OF THE BIG ONES IF WE GET AN INFO OR AN ORACLE OR SOMETHING. SO WE GOT TO LOOK AT IT ON THAT NOTE, AS WE CONTINUE TO INVEST IN INFRASTRUCTURE, I THINK WE NEED TO ENSURE WE'RE SEEKING GRANT FUNDING FROM THROUGH THE COG OR CAL REN IN FOR ANY ENERGY RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS. SO BE IT LIGHTS, HVAC, ETC..

YEAH, I WOULD JUST I WOULD CALL THAT PURSUE GRANT FUNDING FOR ENERGY RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS.

GREAT ASSET MANAGEMENT. HAVING AN INVENTORY THAT YOU CAN GO TO WITH THEM HELPS OUT A LOT IN THESE GRANTS.

AWESOME. THANK YOU. YEAH. MAKES SENSE. WOULD THAT INCLUDE SOLAR PANELS ON VARIOUS THINGS? YEAH, POTENTIALLY. IT'S CONSTANTLY CHANGING. THEY SAY.

SO YOU JUST GOT TO TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AND THEN THEY'LL TELL YOU IF YOU CAN GET A GRANT.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING COMING UP THIS IS MORE SPECIFIC AROUND, I THINK THE PARKS AND AMENITIES AND PROGRAMS THAT THE PUBLIC EXPERIENCES.

YOU GOT TO HAVE, LIKE NINE BLOCKS JUST FOR WILDERNESS.

YEAH. SO A DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD AT A PRIOR STRATEGIC PLAN A TWO YEARS AGO WAS WE HAVE SO WE HAVE.

WE'RE PARKED POOR. WE HAVE SO MANY PARKS, SMALL PARKS, AND THAT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE IF WE, FOR EXAMPLE, PUT PLAYGROUNDS IN EVERY PARK AND THEN HAVE TO REPLACE THOSE AND THE LIKE. SO WE THOUGHT, WELL, WE HAVE TO BE CONSCIOUS ABOUT WHEN WE DO CHANGE ANYTHING, THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

I'M TALKING MORE ABOUT JUST RESTORING PARKS TO WHAT THE EQUIPMENT THEY ALREADY HAVE AND THE FACILITIES.

SO WHICH ONES, WHICH WHICH PARKS? WILDERNESS PARK.

OKAY, BUT THERE'S EXECUTE WILDERNESS PARK. THERE'S MONEY FOR THAT, RIGHT? LIKE WE ALLOCATED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, $800,000. THAT BUYS YOU NOTHING. TOOK 2.2 MILLION FOR A PLAYGROUND.

I DON'T REMEMBER ALLOCATING THAT. MINGUS PARK WAS 2.2 MILLION.

[03:30:01]

RIGHT? WE'LL DO IT THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS.

YOU CAN EXECUTE WILDERNESS PARK MASTER PLAN AS FUNDED, I GUESS.

YEAH, HAS ANYTHING MOVED FORWARD ON WILDERNESS PARK? LIKE, HAVE WE DONE THE POND? LOWER POND. COMPLETED IT.

WE'VE GOT A CONTRACT. WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE DESIGN.

WE HAVE A COST ESTIMATE FOR THE SLIDE THAT WE APPROVED.

WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF PROCURING THE INTERPRETIVE SIGNS, AND THEN THE LAST THING THAT WE APPROVED WAS WE APPROVED $800K.

WE PRIORITIZED FROM THE WILDERNESS PARK MASTER PLAN.

WE PICKED FOUR PROJECTS, BASICALLY, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF EXECUTING AGAINST THEM.

THE LAST ONE THAT I DON'T THINK WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING FOR WAS THE SUNSHADE OVER THE AMPHITHEATER, BUT I DON'T THINK WE'LL RUN OUT OF FUNDING OUT OF THAT 800K, WHICH IS COMING UP.

HOPEFULLY WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF QUIMBY FEES THAT WE CAN THROW, AND WE'LL HAVE TO DO THE UP AS SOON AS WE KNOW HOW THE LOWER POND FUNCTIONS.

THE UPPER POND IS STILL A WRECK AND IT WILL NEED TO BE FIXED OR PROBABLY REPLACED.

SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS IN WILDERNESS PARK.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A BIG ENOUGH ONE. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE UNDER PUBLIC SPACES AND AMENITIES AND PROGRAMS? FRANKLIN PARK PLAYGROUND. REPLACED. IT'S FUNDED.

RIGHT. FUNDED, AND SO IN THESE THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY FUNDED, THIS STRATEGY IS REALLY JUST TO MAKE SURE THIS GETS DONE.

WE'RE JUST NOTING IT FOR. MOONSTONE PARK.

NOW, YOU MENTIONED THE RUST ON THE VETERANS PARK PLAY STRUCTURES.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S COVERED BY THE EXERCISE? THAT'S THE EXERCISE OF THE EXERCISE. OH, THAT WAS A GRANT FUNDED PROJECT A FEW YEARS BACK.

IT'S MADE OF MILD STEEL. I WOULD SAY ITO PARK.

YES. THERE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY, AND I GUESS WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THIS, BUT I'M ASKING BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY SIGNAGE MADE THAT TALK ABOUT THE INTERNMENT CAMPS FROM THE NATIONAL PARKS. IF WE CAN JUST GET MAYBE TED LIU TO APPROVE US USING THAT AT THAT PARK.

IT MIGHT HELP WITH AT LEAST COMPLETING THAT PART OF IT, CREATING THE NARRATIVE FOR THE SIGNAGE.

ELIZABETH, WHAT WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP ON THAT? OUR SUBCOMMITTEE THAT'S UNDER THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION, IS WORKING WITH JACK MEYER, NEW CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSIONER, TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT AND TO ENSURE THAT IS THE PATH FORWARD THEY WANT TO TAKE WITH THAT SIGNAGE BECAUSE WE HAVE VERY LIMITED FUNDING.

SO IF THERE'S ONLY GOING TO BE THREE SIGNS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE THREE SIGNS THAT WE WANT AT THE PARK.

SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO MAKE SURE WE GET THEM, ASSUMING THAT'S PART OF THE BUDGET, THAT WE HAVE THE BUDGET FOR THAT. YES, MA'AM.

I THOUGHT WE APPROVED A BUNCH OF PATH OF HISTORY MARKER FUNDING.

YEAH, WE'RE WORKING ON THOSE RIGHT NOW. IS THAT IS THAT THE SAME? THOSE ARE THE SAME SIGNS. NO DIFFERENT SIGNS ALTOGETHER.

SPECIFIC TO ITO PARK. YEAH. OKAY. YOU DON'T WANT TO USE A PATH OF HISTORY MARKER THERE.

I THINK THERE'S OTHER CALLS FOR THAT. GOT IT.

OKAY. DO WE WANT TO PUT ANYTHING FROM THE YOUTH COMMISSION? I WOULD SAY, YEAH, IT'S COMING UP. OH, YOU KNOW, IT'S RIGHT HERE.

YEAH. YEAH, THE TEEN CENTER RIGHT. CENTER PROGRAMING.

RIGHT? YEP. PERRY PARK TEEN CENTER. WHERE DO WE PUT THE ADAPTIVE TRANSPORTATION? AND THEN HERE, TOO, I THINK IS THAT LATER. IS THERE ANOTHER I THINK MAYBE BELOW WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TRANSPORTATION IN 3.3. SURE. WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ON 3.2? DID I CAPTURE IT? WE HAVE 126 CIPS, SO. [CHUCKLING] WHO'S COUNTING? DO A THIRD OF THEM. YEAH. PROBABLY. I THINK WHAT LAUREN SAID WE GOT DONE LAST SIX MONTHS 1 8.

SO THAT'S ABOUT ALL WE CAN COUNT ON. SO I'M NOT SURE IF WE COALESCED ON THIS ONE.

I THINK WHAT I'M SEEING HERE IS THIS IS ACTUALLY UNDER 3.2.

IT'S JUST MORE SPECIFIC. IS THAT RIGHT? WELL THIS WAS I THINK, MEANT TO BE MORE OF LIKE THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION.

YEAH, KIND OF ALTERNATIVE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION GOAL.

I WAS GOING TO PROBABLY REWORK THAT ONE A LITTLE BIT.

[03:35:01]

SORRY, LOCAL TRAVEL NETWORK MICROMOBILITY AND WOULD HAVE SIGNAGE FOR LIKE WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO ON THEIR LOW SPEED VEHICLES ON STREETS THAT ARE LESS THAN 35MPH, AND THAT'S AND THAT IS AN ACTIVE CIP THAT WE'RE EXECUTING WITH COG FUNDING.

DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU PUT THE SIGNS, THEY GO ANYWHERE. WELL, TO DIRECT THEM, YOU CAN DIRECT LIKE SO THAT THEY DON'T GO ON THE 35 MILE PER HOUR STREETS.

WE'RE GOING TO CREATE AN OFF ROAD NETWORK FOR THEM TOO, SO THEY CAN SET UP SOME BEACH DUNE BUGGY.

BIKE PLAN. THEY'RE IMPLEMENTING IT AS WE SPEAK.

I'D SAY LET'S USE THE GREEN BIKE LANE, PAINTING MONIES THAT WE HAVE APPROPRIATELY APPROPRIATED, LIKE 60 OR $80,000 FOR A GRANT BIKE, GREEN BIKE LANES FOR YEARS AGO, AND WE STILL HAVEN'T PUT THAT OUT.

MAYBE INTERNALIZE INVEST IN VEHICLES OR WHAT IS IT? EQUIPMENT SO THAT WE CAN DO THIS INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE GOT A PRETTY DETAILED LETTER FROM THE BIKE COALITION FOLKS.

MAYBE WE COULD TRY TO PRIORITIZE A FEW OF THOSE BECAUSE THEY HAD EVERYTHING LISTED, BUT PRIORITIZE.

THEY'RE ALL ABOUT, BUT I DON'T HAVE THEM HERE. YEAH, THAT'S BUT A LOT OF ISSUES.

I'M SORRY. THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS WITH THEIR THEIR PROPOSAL.

YEAH, WE CAN REVISIT THAT. EVERY SINGLE SUGGESTION.

NO, NOT EVERY SINGLE ONE, BUT . WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. PICK THE ONES THAT WE THINK WE COULD DO OR PRIORITIZE THE 190TH ONE, MAYBE THAT'S PART OF THE 190TH IS PART OF THE COUNTY MEASURE.

YEAH. CORRIDOR REDONDO BEACH TRANSIT CORRIDOR PROJECT.

YES. YEAH. MAYBE WHAT WE DO IS WE PROVIDE YOU A REPORT OF ALL OF THE ACTIVE.

I THINK WE HAVE KIND OF LOST SIGHT, MAYBE COLLECTIVELY, OF ALL THE DIFFERENT ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CAPITAL PROJECTS WE ALREADY HAVE FUNDED OR ARE IN THE WORKS. MAYBE WE DO A PROVIDE A REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE STATUS OF THE VARIOUS.

ARE YOU TALKING MICRO-MOBILITY OR EVERYTHING? WELL, WE HAVE A LOT IN THE CIP THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT FULLY APPRECIATE OR UNDERSTAND, AND IT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR US TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME JUST HIGHLIGHTING THAT FOR EVERYBODY JUST TO REMINDER OR REFRESH.

OKAY. BEFORE WE COMMIT TO DOING OTHER STUFF, IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE A COMMON TAXONOMY ON HOW FAR WE ARE ON THE MASTER BIKE PLAN, BECAUSE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN THE PAST BECAUSE SOMEBODY SAID 85%, AND THEN RECENTLY I THINK THE BIKE COALITION GUYS SAID 35 GOING TO 37.

SO THAT'S A PRETTY DISPARATE DIFFERENCE. NOW WHAT ABOUT THE NORTH REDONDO.

SO THIS WOULD BE PROGRESS. SO UP TOP THERE THAT'S THE SAME ONE.

SO PROVIDE A STATUS REPORT ON THE PROVIDE A REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE CITY'S ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS, ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND MICRO MOBILITY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

YOU COULD DO THAT WITHOUT MUCH. YEAH. INVESTMENT OF STAFF TIME.

YEAH. OKAY. YEAH, AND IT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR YOU ALL TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS WHAT'S IN MOTION.

I MEAN, IDEALLY, WE'D HAVE A SOLID, SAFE LINK FROM NORTH REDONDO TO SOUTH REDONDO.

YEAH. WHAT ABOUT THE NORTH SCHOOL? YEAH. PATHS THAT SCHOOLS KIDS COULD USE TO GO TO SCHOOL.

THAT WOULD IMPROVE SAFETY, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A NORTH REDONDO LINKING PLAN THAT MAYBE THAT SHOULD BE ADDED AS TO ONE OF THOSE.

WELL THAT'LL BE. WELL THAT'LL BE, THAT'LL BE REPORTED ON.

SO THAT'S MY POINT. I THINK WE HAVE, WE HAVE AT ANY GIVEN TIME, HALF A DOZEN PROJECTS IN MOTION ON THIS SUBJECT.

IT'D PROBABLY BE GOOD FOR EVERYBODY. YEAH. LET'S.

YEAH, LET'S DO THE REPORT. WE'LL GO FROM THERE. WE'LL HAVE TO DO IT TONIGHT, AND YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. THAT SOUNDS LIKE STICK A FORK IN IT.

NO. WELL, IN THE BIKE LANE PAINTING. I MAY TAKE SOME LIBERTIES WITH THAT.

YEAH. TAKE SOME LIBERTIES. THAT'S YEAH. GREAT.

THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS ABOUT INFORMATION.

SORRY. CAN YOU SCROLL BACK UP? JUST. DO WE DO WE CAPTURE LOOKING AT HOW WE COULD ENHANCE OUR STREET REHAB PROGRAM, EITHER THROUGH THE ACQUISITION OF EQUIPMENT OR ADDING MORE MONEY TO THE BUDGET.

WE PUT THAT IN SOMEWHERE. THAT WOULD BE UP THERE.

THAT'S YOUR ZIPPER STREET. WELL, OKAY. SO I'VE UNDERSTOOD THE ZIPPER.

[03:40:01]

WE JUST NEED A DISCUSSION, I THINK, AT COUNCIL, AS TO WHAT THE VARIOUS OPTIONS ARE TO ENHANCE OUR STREET REHAB PROGRAM.

EITHER CONTRACTING OUT OR, YOU KNOW, INVESTING IN SOME EQUIPMENT FOR THE CITY TO DO IT IN-HOUSE, WHICH WOULD BE BETTER LONG TERM. WOULD THERE BE A STRATEGY TOWARDS GETTING EQUIPMENT? ET CETERA. SO I HAVE A QUESTION RELATED TO THAT AND HOPEFULLY IT'S A QUICK ANSWER.

HAVE WE EXPLORED LIKE SEVERAL OF THE BEACH CITIES TEAMING UP TO BUY SOME OF THIS EQUIPMENT VERSUS JUST HAVING WE HAVE? THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE ZIPPER.

SO WE CAN HAVE A REPORT ON THE CITY'S STREET REHABILITATION PROGRAM AND THEN OPTIONS TO ENHANCE, WHICH PRIMARILY COME DOWN TO FUNDING AND INVESTMENT.

SO GREAT. THANKS FOR CATCHING THAT, JANE. SO THE INFORMATION AND RECORDS EASIER TO FIND.

THERE WERE A FEW THINGS LAST CARRYOVER FROM THE FIRST GOAL.

DIGITAL DIGITAL RECORDS ENHANCEMENT. JUST MAKING CITY SERVICES AVAILABLE ONLINE.

PARKING PERMITS, YOU NAME IT. YEAH. I MEAN, ONE ONE CARRIES OVER, THREE CARRIES OVER, AND THEN THERE'S ONLINE. DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THIS ONE.

IT'S THIS ONE. I THINK THIS IS WHERE WE KIND OF CAPTURED TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES, BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY WAS THE ENABLER FOR THE SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS, BUT YEAH I WOULD SAY ENHANCED SERVICES USING AND THEN IN PARENTHESES USING TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE PUBLIC ACCESS AND USABILITY. I THINK THE PRA SOFTWARE FUTURE OBJECTIVE FROM THE PRIOR PLAN IS IS FITS THAT THE NUMBER 4.1..

MIKE, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THE AGENDA MANAGEMENT DID THAT GET.

YEAH. THE AGENDA PUBLIC RECORD. YEP. I WOULDN'T DO AGENDA MANAGEMENT I WOULD DO THE I MIGHT SAY PRR ON THE PREVIOUS ONE AS A SEPARATE ITEM THOUGH.

DO WE WANT TO HAVE AGENDA MANAGEMENT AS IT'S A PROJECT THAT WOULD BE A CARRYOVER FROM LAST YEAR TO.

LET'S SEE WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THAT. JANE AND LUKE, WHERE ARE WE AT WITH AGENDA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM? I KNOW ELEANOR IS THE LEAD, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT DATE ACTUALLY ENDED UP ON IT.

YEAH. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH GRANICUS ON MONDAY.

SO NEXT WEEK TO GO OVER THE DATA COLLECTION THAT WE HAD PROVIDED THEM AND START WORKING THROUGH THE WORKFLOWS AND THE PROCESS WITH THE SYSTEM.

IT'S GOT SOMETHING LIKE A PROPOSED DECEMBER GO LIVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHICH WE THINK WE CAN BEAT, THAT IT WOULDN'T HURT TO PUT IT DOWN. IT'S A CARRY ON ITEM.

YEAH. SO I'D SAY AGENDA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION.

IT'S REALLY UPDATE ITS SOFTWARE UPDATE OR WHAT IS IT SYSTEM UPDATE.

YEAH. LUKE, WOULD YOU BE COMFORTABLE DOING WHAT WE SAW WITH REVISE THE OTHER DAY, PUTTING SOMETHING DOWN FOR THAT? YEAH. WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO REVISE. OUR WEBSITE PROVIDER HAS AN AI SEARCH AND OR CHATBOT FUNCTION THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY IMPLEMENT PRETTY QUICKLY, SO WE COULD PUT THAT ON THERE OR SOMETHING.

I'M SORRY. SORRY. ON 4.1, WHAT ABOUT THE RECORDS THAT WERE NOT CAPTURING RIGHT NOW? IS THAT UNDER JUST RECORDS ENHANCEMENT? YEAH.

THAT PROJECT IS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT MISSING THAT BECAUSE THERE'S DATA.

I'VE REQUESTED THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO GO BACK TO OTHER PEOPLE'S HARD DRIVES TO FIND OR LOOK FOR PRINTED COPIES SO THAT FULL OBJECTIVE READS WORK WITH DEPARTMENTS TO DETERMINE THE RECORDS THAT CAN BE DIGITIZED IN ORDER TO IMPROVE OPERATIONS, MEET RETENTION REQUIREMENTS, AND THEN DEVELOP A PLAN TO DIGITIZE THOSE RECORDS, MAKE THEM MORE ACCESSIBLE TO PUBLIC. SO THAT WOULD BE THAT'S GOING TO BE EVERYTHING THAT'S IN OUR FILES.

I MEAN, THAT'S NOW IN BOXES BEING READY TO SCAN AND DIGITIZE.

NOW, THE WHOLE RECORD SEARCH IS ORGANIZED AROUND WHICH MEETING AND SOME OF THESE THINGS AREN'T IN MEETINGS.

AGREED. IT'S GOT TO BE HOW WE FILE AND ORGANIZE THIS THIS MATERIAL.

SO THAT'S THAT IS ALL PART OF IT. YEAH. IT'S A LOT OF OUR DOCUMENTS STILL REFERENCE LIKE THE HEART OF THE CITY EIR BUT YET YOU CAN'T FIND IT.

CAN'T FIND THAT EITHER. YEAH. IT'S A IT'S A HUGE ENDEAVOR.

THIS IS NOT A, THIS IS NOT A SINGLE. THIS WILL LIKELY WHEN I MEET WITH STAFF WILL LIKELY BREAK THIS INTO MORE TANGIBLE.

YOU MENTIONED THE AI FROM THE WEBSITE PROVIDER.

WOULD THAT BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THAT RECORD SEARCHING, AS WELL AS SEARCHING THE WEBSITE AND SEARCHING PROCESSES TO HELP PEOPLE AND SO

[03:45:08]

HOWEVER, THAT DOES HAVE A WEB INTERFACE THAT PEOPLE CAN SEARCH ON.

I FOUND THE SEARCH TO BE LESS THAN OPTIMAL, AND THAT'S WHERE I REALLY.

I THOUGHT THAT HAVING THE AI AGENT FOR THE WEBSITE, AT LEAST TO START, WOULD BE VITAL SO THAT THE REDONDOBEACH.ORG SEARCH BUTTON WHEN YOU GO TO SEARCH FOR THINGS. YES, THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST THING THAT WOULD COME UP, AND THEN IT WOULD START DOING THOSE OTHER CATEGORIES, AND THEN MAYBE A NEXT THERE. THE NEXT GENERATION SECOND STEP WOULD BE TO HAVE THAT SAME KIND OF AI SEARCH FOR ALL OF OUR RECORDS SCANNING VIDEOS.

YEAH. ALL OF OUR RECORDS CONVERSATION IS A REALLY, REALLY BIG ONE, AS MIKE MENTIONED.

SO, AND THERE'S ONLY A COUPLE OF DEPARTMENTS HEADS AROUND THIS TABLE THAT CAN RAISE THEIR HAND SAY, MY DEPARTMENT IS SCANNING EVERYTHING. SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S ZERO.

EACH DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO BE TAKEN ON AS EFFECTIVELY ITS OWN PROJECT, AND YOU HAVE TO THINK OF EVERYTHING FROM, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE YOU TAKING AND WHAT WORKFLOWS SHOULD THAT GENERATE, AND ALSO WHAT DOCUMENTS DO I CURRENTLY HAVE ON FILE NOW THAT NOW NEED TO BE SCANNED AND RECORD RETENTION SET FOR AND THE OLD ONES DESTROYED, AND ALL THE METADATA ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE INPUTTED INTO THE SYSTEM.

SO LIKE EACH DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO BE A PRETTY SIZABLE PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TO HAVE A THREE YEAR, FIVE YEAR GOAL.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO HAVE THE CITY BE PAPERLESS WHEN IT COMES TO OUR RECORDS FILING SO THAT WE CAN DO GLOBAL SEARCHES AND THINGS, AND WE NEED TO BREAK THAT DOWN INTO MUCH MORE SMALLER AND ACHIEVABLE GOALS THAT WE CAN PUT SOME TIME FRAMES ON FOR SURE, AND I'D LIKE TO ALSO SEE PUT UP, I THINK IT'D BE A 4.2 UPDATE THE ACCESS REDONDO APP, RIGHT? YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD ONE. I HAVE THAT ON MY LIST TOO.

WE HAVE MET WITH OUR PROVIDER, AND THEY DO HAVE A NEW TOOL THAT IS AN OPTION THAT WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT, AND WE'RE WAITING TO SEE SOME PRICING ON . GREAT, AND THEN JANE, THE FIRST ONE UNDER 4.2 SHOULD SAY INCREASE ONLINE SERVICES.

YEAH, AND IS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR YOU WANT TO TARGET THERE.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE FOCUSED ON I WORK THERE'LL BE SOME THERE'LL BE ANOTHER TURN IN THE OPTIONS HERE.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YET, BUT. YEP. ALL RIGHT, MIKE.

I KNOW. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ON 4.2? I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO INCORPORATE IT, BUT, JOE, YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THE HOMELESS REPORTING ONLINE.

WELL, WOULD IT BE PART OF THE ACCESS REDONDO APP? YOU MEAN, OR A SEPARATE.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT THERE WILL BE AN APP THAT WE CAN. OH, RESIDENTS CAN REPORT HOMELESS RATHER THAN HAVING TO CALL.

SO. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT AN APP FOR THE POLICE TO HAVE, AND THEN WE HAVE NOT DISCUSSED MAKING THAT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC YET. I WOULD THINK THAT THE ACCESS REDONDO APP WOULD BE THE PERFECT PLACE FOR SOMEBODY TO REPORT A HOMELESS PERSON.

WELL, MANHATTAN HAS A SYSTEM THAT CAN TAKE A PICTURE GEOLOCATE SOME GOES STRAIGHT TO ACCESS.

REDONDO DOES THAT. YOU CAN TAKE A PICTURE AND TAKE A PICTURE OF A BROKEN STREETLIGHT AND SUBMIT IT, AND IT SAYS, ARE YOU AT THIS LOCATION? YEAH, YEAH.

STREET SIGNS, STREET LIGHTS, POTHOLES LIKE THAT WAS A LOT OF LEVELS IN THERE.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM. IT'S A CRAPPY APP. YEAH, IT'S NOT GREAT, BUT IF THE NEW VERSION OF THE APP CAN DO IT, GREAT. IF NOT, THEN WE SHOULD LOOK INTO SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE MORE USER FRIENDLY. MY INTENTION WITH FOUR THREE IS TO PROBABLY WEAVE THE GOAL LANGUAGE INTO FOUR ONE AND FOUR TWO. SO IT'S BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL.

GREAT, AND MIKE, I KNOW YOU HAD A COMMENT ON THIS ALSO.

ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO ADD? YEAH, I MEAN, A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT I HAVE IN MY HEAD KIND OF CIRCLES BACK TO DIGITAL RECORDS ENHANCEMENT, WHERE, YOU KNOW, INTERNAL FORMS, INTERNAL SIGNATURES, THESE ARE AREAS WHERE WE CAN IMPLEMENT WITH RELATIVE EASE.

THAT WOULD HAVE A BIG IMPACT, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD KIND OF ALL FALL UNDER FOUR ONE ALREADY, AND THAT'S THE THAT'S THE THAT'S WHY IT MAKES SENSE FOR ME, I THINK TO COMBINE THOSE.

BECAUSE REALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THE FOUR ONE OBJECTIVES, THEY HAVE AN INTERNAL BENEFIT AS WELL AS AN EXTERNAL BENEFIT.

ABSOLUTELY. RIGHT. MOVING PRETTY SMOOTHLY.

SO THIS IS THE ONE I'M NOT SURE IF WE WERE TOTALLY FINAL ON THESE TWO GOALS BUT ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.

IF I COULD JUST INTERJECT WHAT CAN YOU JUST TO KIND OF TAKE INVENTORY OF WHAT WE'VE ADDED TO THE LIST, WHAT WE HAVE ON THE LIST TO THIS POINT? COULD YOU START AT THE TOP AND SCROLL THROUGH?

[03:50:02]

ARE WE REACHING KIND OF CRITICAL 678. YEAH I CAN NUMBER THESE.

CAN YOU DO A QUICK COUNT FOR US? HM? I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A QUICK COUNT HERE.

SO EIGHT SOMETHING WE LEFT OFF. ONE TWO WHICH IS MORE PASSIVE, IS ACQUIRE PROPERTY ON ARTESIA BOULEVARD.

WE PREVIOUSLY ALLOCATED $750,000 FOR THIS. IT'S NOT SOMETHING I THINK WE NEED TO ACTIVELY PURSUE, BUT WE NEED TO BE OPEN TO IT IF AN OPPORTUNITY COMES UP TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY.

REMEMBER WE DID WE DID BORROW. WE DID PULL SOME OF THAT MONEY TO HELP US WITH WE GET IT BACK.

WE GOT A BIG CHUNK OF IT BACK, BUT NOT ALL OF IT BACK.

THAT'S UNDER ONE, IT IS PART OF THE AACAP , RIGHT, AND IT'S.

YEAH, IT IS PART. OKAY. ONE THROUGH FOUR. YOU DON'T NEED TO RENUMBER THAT.

THAT'S. YEAH. THAT'S JUST. YEAH, YEAH. SO BEFORE YOU FINISH THE NUMBERING, COULD YOU PUT ARTESIA BOULEVARD? PROPERTY JUST WE'RE ONE THROUGH FOUR IS ACQUISITION PLUS OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENT PLUS PROPERTY, PLUS PUBLIC PARK. JUST PUT. PLUS PUBLIC PARKING FOR PUBLIC WORK.

PUBLIC? YEAH. SURFACE PARKING LOT. PUBLIC PARKING LOTS.

PROPERTY ACQUISITION. YEAH. OR PUBLIC PARKING LOT ACQUISITION OR SOMETHING.

EITHER WAY. YEAH. OKAY.

JANE, I DID HAVE SOME SOMETHING TO ADD FOR THE HOMELESS PROGRAM IS TO IMPLEMENT FOSTER YOUTH VOUCHERS.

IS THAT TEED UP FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS? THAT GOES IN HERE.

WE'RE WORKING THROUGH LEGAL ON IT, AND OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT IS ON IT ALREADY, SO IT'S ATTAINABLE. HOW ARE YOU FEELING, MIKE? I GOT IT. HOW'S YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE? I GOT ONE MORE HERE ON EITHER 3.2 OR 3.1, BUT THE YOUTH COMMISSION HAD ASKED US TO ANALYZE THE BEACH CITIES TRANSIT ROUTES TO ENSURE THAT THEY SERVE THE YOUTH, BUT SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO ADD ON TO THAT FOR DISCUSSION IS LOOKING AT WE'VE GOTTEN PITCHED BY CIRCUIT. THEY PROVIDE A INEXPENSIVE LOCAL SHUTTLE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SHUTTLE.

3.3. YEAH, RIGHT. SO ANALYZE BCT ROUTES AND OTHER OPTIONS, INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE, CIRCUIT.

WHAT ABOUT FOR YOU FOR CIRCULATING YOUTH TO WHERE THEY NEED TO GET.

SO ABOUT THE PASSES THAT THE SCHOOL KIDS ON THE BUS.

THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE WE PUT THAT ON. YEAH. THAT'S ALREADY A MOTION THAT PASSED THING BY JUST ONE PERSON.

THE PASSES THAT THEY WANT THAT PROGRAM THROUGH METRO.

I THINK WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON THAT. RIGHT? ELIZABETH. YEAH. OKAY.

SO ANALYZE BCT ROUTES AND OTHER OPTIONS TO ENHANCE YOUTH RIDERSHIP, YOUTH MOBILITY.

WELL, REALLY, IF IT'S BCT, WE WANT TO RIDE IN THE BUS, RIGHT? YEAH. OH, LORDY.

ALL RIGHT. IS THIS WE'RE NOT AT 50 YET. IS THIS OKAY? LET'S GO BACK TO OUR. WE TALK IN SIX MONTHS OR A YEAR? A YEAR. OKAY. CAN WE GO BACK TO THE THREES? WE HAD PUT THIS ON OUR PRIOR STRATEGIC PLAN, BUT WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT OR WE HAVEN'T GOT A PRESENTATION ON IT, BUT OUTDOOR FURNITURE DISCUSSION REGARDING WHETHER WE COULD GET.

YEAH, WHETHER WE COULD GET REVENUE FROM THAT.

WE'RE AT THE MAY 6TH MEETING. IT'S READY TO REPORT MAY 6TH.

OKAY. YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT. SO WE DON'T NEED TO PUT IT ON NOW.

YOU'LL GET IT BEFORE THIS IS. PUT IT ON THERE AND MAKE A CHECK MARK AND SAY IT'S DONE, AND MAKE SURE MIKE WILL BE LIKE THAT WORKS.

YEAH, EXACTLY. ALL RIGHT, SCOTT, YOU REQUESTED THE COUNTING.

YEAH, AND JUST REVIEW. SURE. THANKS, SCOTT. OKAY, JUST GETTING THE INVENTORY.

THERE'S A LOT OF ITEMS THAT ARE HIGH PRIORITY, AND AS NOW WE'RE MOVING DOWN I'M NOT SAYING DELETE EVERYTHING OFF HERE, BUT IT KIND OF BECOMES MORE LIKE ASPIRATIONAL AND AS OPPOSED TO

[03:55:04]

THAT'S REALISTIC. LIPSTICK, SO I'M JUST USING THAT AS SORT OF A POINT OF REFERENCE AS WE NOW GO.

IF I COULD FINISH THE POINT AS WE NOW GO DOWN THROUGH THE LIST OF WHAT'S REMAINING.

SO ANYWAY, THAT WAS THE OBSERVATION I WAS MAKING FOR FOR MYSELF.

THANK YOU. IF WE ARE COMMITTED TO THIS BEING MORE OF A, YOU KNOW, CALL IT A 10 TO 12 MONTH OBJECTIVE PROGRAM, WE'RE DOING OKAY. IF THERE'S AN EXPECTATION THAT THESE 44 OBJECTIVES THUS FAR ARE TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY DECEMBER WE'RE WE'VE ALREADY OUTKICKED OUR COVERAGE.

SO, SO WE HAD ABOUT NINE MONTHS BETWEEN LAST TIME, AND YOU DID PRETTY GOOD.

SO MAYBE EXTEND OUR. YEAH. WE KIND OF JUST IF THE IDEA HERE IS WE CAN KIND OF PUSH THAT DATE OUT A LITTLE BIT WHEN WE START LOOKING AT WHEN WE NEXT CONVENE ON THESE MATTERS. WELL, AND IS IT REALISTIC TO CONVENE IN DECEMBER ANYWAY.

NO. RIGHT. IT MAKES SENSE PROBABLY TO PUSH IT IN THE NEXT EARLY NEXT SPRING, PROBABLY TARGET SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO THAT'S LIKE LATE FEBRUARY, EARLY MARCH ISH.

OH. SORRY, MAYOR. OH. I'M SORRY. NO, I THINK YOU WERE UP ANYWAY.

I DISAGREE THAT THESE ARE SEQUENTIAL PRIORITY FROM 1 TO 44 AS YOU HAVE IT THERE, AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ADVOCATING THAT.

WE GO BACK AND WE DO A PRIORITIZATION SCHEME AGAINST THIS.

I DON'T THINK JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING'S DOWN IN WHAT WE LABELED AS GOAL NUMBER FIVE OR PRIORITY NUMBER FIVE, THAT WE IGNORE IT UNTIL EVERY SINGLE THING ABOVE IT IS ACCOMPLISHED.

I JUST DON'T AGREE WITH THAT. I THINK THERE'S THINGS WE HAVE TO BE DOING IN PARALLEL, AND THAT'S WHY I THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY I RECOMMENDED WE HAVE A PRIORITIZATION SCHEMA THAT'S WITHIN EACH OF THESE THAT DOES NOT I DON'T AGREE THAT ALL THESE ARE WE DO EVERYTHING IN ONE. THEN WE GO TO EVERYTHING IN TWO.

NOBODY'S SAYING THAT. NOBODY'S. WELL HE IS HE'S SAYING HE CUT IT OFF AT 44 AND YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING.

NO, HE WAS JUST COUNTING. THAT'S WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY.

MAYBE I MISHEARD IT. YEAH. NO. IS THAT NOT WHAT YOU SAID? NO. MIKE, WHAT WOULD BE THE EASIEST WAY FOR YOU TO TAKE ALL OF THIS? WELL, WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? LET'S WRAP UP FIVE ONE AND FIVE TWO.

SEE WHERE WE'RE AT. I THINK THE POINT THAT SCOTT'S MAKING IS A GOOD ONE IS, ARE WE REALLY ABLE TO BUILD EACH OF THESE OUT? YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT THERE COULD BE A LOT OF THINGS IN FIVE ONE AND FIVE TWO IF WE WANT TO.

YOU ARE ALL PRETTY JUDICIOUS WITH THE OPEN SPACE AMENITY ONE THAT WAS.

LET'S LET'S STAY JUDICIOUS HERE, AND THEN WE SEE WHAT OUR COUNT IS, AND THEN WE CAN TALK PRIORITY IF WE NEED TO.

YEAH I THINK IT WAS JUST A BIT OF A REALITY CHECK. RIGHT. THERE'S 44 THINGS.

INVENTORY 44 OBJECTIVES IS MORE THAN YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH IN SIX MONTHS.

THAT'S A FACT. SO BUT WE DO WANT TO CLOSE OUT MAKE SURE THAT WE DO CLOSE OUT 5.1 AND 5.2.

YEAH FIVE ONE. DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE CITY'S TREE CANOPY.

AS IN HOW MANY TREES DO WE HAVE, BE IT PUBLIC, PRIVATE OR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AND SET GOALS FOR GROWTH OF THAT CANOPY. OKAY. I THINK IT'S INVENTORY. SURE. THE CITY'S TREE CANOPY.

I THINK WE ACTUALLY CAN DO THAT. SO IT WOULDN'T BE DEVELOP AND UNDERSTAND PRIVATE RATHER THAN WHICH IS DIFFERENT.

YEAH, JUST AN INVENTORY OF THE CITY'S TREE CANOPY, BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, TO THE EXTENT WE CAN.

PRIVATE IS A LITTLE TOUGHER, RIGHT. THIS IS DOABLE WITHIN WITHIN A YEAR.

YEAH. WE HAVE A WE HAVE AN ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ALREADY THAT HAS I MEAN, WE HAVE SOME OF THIS INFORMATION.

YEAH. SO I DON'T WANT TO IMPOSE A BURDEN TO COUNT PRIVATE TREES IF THAT'S NOT EASY TO DO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT ALREADY.

IF YOU DO HAVE IT ALREADY. OKAY, AND THEN AND IDENTIFY AND C OME BACK BASICALLY WITH THE POLICY DISCUSSION ABOUT TREE YOU KNOW, TREE PLANTING OR INVENTORY GROWTH OR SOMETHING.

TREE PLANTING, AND WE'RE GOING TO DO THROUGH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF TREES.

DECREASE. INCREASE. DISCUSSION ABOUT. YEAH. IT'S LIKE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE MISSING TREE IN THE TREE.

WELL, THAT'S A GOOD DISCUSSION POINT FOR US TO HAVE.

WHAT ELSE? ON FIVE. ONE. YEAH. MORE CHARGING STATIONS.

IDENTIFY POLICY OR OPPORTUNITIES FOR STREET STORMWATER INFILTRATION? YEAH. OPTIONS TO INCREASE STORMWATER.

STREET STORMWATER CAPTURE. YEAH, AND I'M JUST LOOKING AT HOW IT WAS WRITTEN LAST YEAR.

PROVIDE A REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON STATUS OF CITY STORMWATER CAPTURE POLICIES AND PROJECTS.

YEAH, WE KIND OF DID THIS. WE DID THAT. WE DID THAT.

I THINK IT'S NEXT. THIS IS MORE AN OPTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION.

IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS TO IMPLEMENT AN INCREASED STORMWATER CAPTURE.

[04:00:02]

PURSUE MORE CHARGING STATIONS. GOOD ONE. OKAY, BUT THERE WAS THERE WAS WE HAVE COMPLAINTS. I WILL SAY WE HAVE SWUNG AND MISS ON THIS.

HOW MANY GRANTS DO WE WRITE LUKE. I HOPE I DON'T KNOW IF THE GRANT ENVIRONMENT IS GOING TO IMPROVE ON THIS.

SO WE MAY HAVE TO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD OUR OWN, KEEP IT ON OUR RADAR.

RIGHT. LIKE WHERE FEASIBLE, PURSUE CHARGING STATIONS.

WHERE FEASIBLE. WHERE FEASIBLE. YEAH. WE'VE SUBMITTED SEVERAL TO NO NO LUCK SO FAR, BUT WE'LL KEEP KEEP OUR FEELERS OUT THERE, AND YOU'VE RECOMMENDED A COUPLE PROGRAMS AND SUBMITTED ON THE COMMUNITIES IN CHARGE AND DIFFERENT THINGS. SO WE'LL WE'LL KEEP IT ON OUR RADAR. THERE WERE JUST COMPLAINTS IN SANTA MONICA. A NEW STORY ABOUT WAYMO CHARGING STATIONS CREATING A LOT OF NOISE FOR NOISE FOR NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THEM, AND THEN, JANE, STORMWATER SHOULD ADD THE WORD CAPTURE.

STORMWATER CAPTURE OPTIONS. GREAT. SORRY. ON THE CHARGING STATIONS.

IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN ADD THEM WHERE WE CURRENTLY HAVE THEM? LIKE AT THE NORTH BRANCH LIBRARY, FOR EXAMPLE? CAN WE PUT MORE IN THERE? I THINK MY IMMENSELY EXPENSIVE.

OKAY. I THINK IT'S, IT'S LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE, UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE TO ADD TO POWER CHARGING STATIONS AT OUR CURRENT LOCATION. I THINK WE'RE BUILT OUT THE CAPACITY AT EACH OF THOSE SPOTS.

I THINK PRETTY MUCH THE CITY IN THE OLDER FACILITIES WERE MAXED OUT.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE ROOM, AND NOT ONLY IN OUR SWITCHGEAR AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT THE TRANSFORMERS COMING IN FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON, WE WOULD HAVE TO REBUILD QUITE A BIT OF THE EDISON WON'T TELL YOU.

WELL, I DON'T WANT TO DISPARAGE. EDISON WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY'RE LOVING ALL THIS, THAT THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE OFTENTIMES IS THE BARRIER TO IMPLEMENTING INCREASED CHARGING STATIONS IN PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY. WE JUST HAD A STUDY FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS YARD TO BRING IN ELECTRICAL POWER IN CASE WE GO TO ELECTRIC TRUCKS, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO BRING IN NEW TRANSFORMERS FROM THE OUTSIDE IN AND PLANT THAT ON SITE AND THEN GO TO THE CHARGERS.

SO THERE'S ALSO THERE'S ROOM CAPACITY THAT WE HAVE TO BE LOOKING AT.

12 YEARS FOR BEACH CITIES TRANSIT. OH THAT'S WELL THAT'S ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES TO MEETING THE STATE'S REQUIREMENT TO ELECTRIFY OUR BUS FLEET BY 2030 IS WHERE. HOW ARE WE GOING TO CHARGE THE APPARATUS? YEAH, THE ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FROM THE PROVIDED BY THE UTILITY IS NOT THERE YET.

COMPLETE ON 5.1. ALL RIGHT, AND THEN FIVE. TWO.

MARK, YOU SAID WHAT ARE WE BRINGING BACK WITH THE GENERAL PLAN? SO. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE. IT'S THE IT'S THE I THINK IT'S OUR SO IT'S IN THE ORDINANCE THE IT'S INCLUDED WITH SOME OF THE POLICIES AND THE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN JUNE.

THAT'S COMING UP SOON, AND WE'LL DO A DEEP DIVE ON DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND THE PROS AND CONS AND ANTICIPATING A GOOD DISCUSSION POLICY. YEAH, POLICY OPTIONS ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION.

WILL THAT INCLUDE DRAFT ORDINANCE CHANGES OR DIRECTLY TO THE POLICY ESTABLISHED IN THE LAND USE ELEMENT WOULD DICTATE THE ORDINANCE THAT WOULD FOLLOW. I THINK RIGHT NOW, THE WAY IT'S DRAFTED, IT'S STILL RECOMMENDS STICKING WITH THE VOLUNTARY PROGRAM, WHICH IS WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. I KNOW THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED MORE OF A PROACTIVE APPROACH WHERE THE CITY WOULD BE MORE OF A DECIDING FACTOR AS TO WHAT'S HISTORIC, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS AT THE CITY COUNCIL LEVEL WHEN THIS COMES BACK ON THAT PARTICULAR POLICY ITEM.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU STRENGTHEN IT IF IT'S VOLUNTARY.

WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION, WAS THAT IT NOT BE VOLUNTARY? AND THEY ADDED SOME ALTERNATIVE LANGUAGE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.

THAT'LL BE PART OF THE POLICY DISCUSSION. WHEN YOU COME BACK IN JUNE. IT WILL BE. OKAY, BUT THEN HOW LONG TO GET INTO AN ORDINANCE IF WE WANT TO CHANGE IT? A YEAR. IT'S REALLY AT THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD TAKE AS LONG AS A YEAR. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER GOOD TEMPLATE ORDINANCES THAT WE COULD LOOK

[04:05:02]

SO I THINK WE COULD MOVE THAT ALONG QUICKLY IF THE COUNCIL DECIDES TO DO SO.

STARTS WITH THIS STEP, THOUGH, YOU'LL HAVE TO COALESCE AROUND YOUR DIRECTION.

I COULD ALSO THERE ARE SOME GPAC POLICIES THAT WERE MORE DEFINITIVE.

THEY HAD BOTH, BUT I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. YEAH, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE GPAC.

I JUST KNOW THAT IN THE LAND USE ELEMENT, THERE'S A SECTION DEDICATED TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND THAT CONTAINS MULTIPLE POLICIES.

MAYBE IT'S 7 OR 8 POLICIES AND THE JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ON THERE WAS AND YOU WERE THERE, BRAD, THAT WE WERE LOSING IT AND WE NEEDED TO STRENGTHEN IT.

ABOUT THE POLICY DISCUSSION. THE POLICY PRESERVATION RIVIERA VILLAGE COULD PROBABLY USE A REVISIT OF THE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THE RIGHT THING. IF THERE'S PARKING REGULATIONS, THERE'S THE NOTARY EXEMPTION.

THE. YEAH, THE PREFERRED USE. WELL, THE NOTARY IS COMING BACK.

THAT EXEMPTION IS COMING BACK. IT IS. SO WE BROUGHT THAT TO THE COUNCIL A FEW MONTHS AGO.

I ACTUALLY HAVE THE DRAFT CODE AMENDMENT READY TO GO.

I MADE THE AMENDMENTS BASED ON THE COUNCIL'S DIRECTION SO WE COULD ACTUALLY BRING THAT BACK AT ANY TIME.

I WAS LOOKING BECAUSE IT'S AN LCP AMENDMENT. I WAS LOOKING TO KIND OF PAIR IT WITH OTHER LCP AMENDMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING FORWARD, AND THEN YOUR PARKING BECAUSE WE'RE LIMITED TO HOW TO HOW MANY WE CAN SUBMIT TO THE COASTAL COMMISSION PER YEAR.

IT'S THREE PER YEAR IS WHAT THE LIMIT IS, BUT IT REALLY FOR THAT AMENDMENT FOR THE NOTARY BUSINESSES, IT'S PRETTY MINOR IN TERMS OF THE TEXT CHANGE TO THE CODE, AND WE COULD BRING THAT FORWARD NOW IF THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE.

I THINK THE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE GETTING AT, BUT THE WORDS I'VE BEEN HEARING IS ALL THE WE'RE FORCING OUT ALL THE RETAILERS NOW TO PUT IN GENTRIFIED RESTAURANTS AND CRAFT BEER PLACES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, BECAUSE HISTORICAL MEMORY SAYS THAT RESTAURANTS USED TO HAVE SOME NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES PER TABLE OR PER SQUARE FEET, AND THAT GOT RELAXED.

YEAH. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT USING PARKING TO. IT'S NOT THE DINING DECKS.

IT PREDATES THE DINING DECKS BY A DECADE TO HELP RETAIN RETAIL, BUT YES.

SO TO HELP RETAIN RETAILERS, BUT THAT'S THE END GOAL IS TO RE-IMPLEMENT.

YEAH IT'S KIND OF A PREFERRED USES STRATEGIES DISCUSSION IS WHAT IT IS, BECAUSE PARKING IS ONE WAY TO TACKLE THAT, BUT THAT IS A THAT'S A SUBSTANTIVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLANNING ITEM. I MEAN, IT IS. YEAH, IT IS, AND THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS TO GO ABOUT IT.

PARKING STANDARDS WOULD BE ONE. THE COUNCIL SIMILAR TO THE SMOKE SHOPS.

YOU COULD PLACE A LIMIT ON HOW MANY RESTAURANTS YOU WANT IN THE AREA.

OTHER BUT THEN AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, IT RAISES THE QUESTION OF WHETHER WE WANT THE MARKET SHOULD BE DICTATING WHAT BUSINESSES ARE WITHIN THE RIVIERA VILLAGE. IT'S A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE AT THIS POINT WHEN WHEN YOU HAVE WHEN YOU HAVE USES BEING CROWDED OUT BECAUSE OF THE COST AND THE VALUE OF ALTERNATIVE USES. I MEAN, IT MEANS WE'VE ACHIEVED SOME BIT OF ECONOMIC VITALITY DOWN THERE.

THAT'S GOOD. THERE IS A LIMIT, THOUGH. AT SOME POINT YOU CAN KIND OF START EATING YOUR OWN TAIL, AND WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. SO, BUT THIS IS THIS IS A THIS IS A COMPLICATED AND ROBUST DISCUSSION.

THIS ISN'T A SIMPLE SOLUTION TYPE THING. RIGHT.

THAT FITS IN WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER.

SO PREFERRED USES STRATEGY DISCUSSION. I MEAN IS THIS ON OUR RADAR.

WE'LL KEEP THIS ON HERE. WELL I MEAN YEAH, WE CAN CERTAINLY INCLUDE IT AS A N ITEM AS PART OF THIS 10 TO 12 MONTH CYCLE.

I MEAN, THIS WON'T BE FIRST UP. WE GOT A LOT.

MARK'S GOT A LOT ON HIS PLATE RIGHT NOW. SO NEXT MONTH YOU COULD START AT MAY IF WE GET FIVE MORE STEAK, STEAK HOUSES IN THE VILLAGE. WE'LL PUT IT UP ON THE LIST.

WELL, THERE'S ONE IN. YEAH, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE COMING SOON.

WHAT ABOUT ANYTHING ON THE HISTORIC PATH, OR WE KIND OF DROPPED THAT ONE OFF? WELL, WE'RE WORKING ON THE PATH OF HISTORY MARKERS.

THAT'S A BUDGET ITEM. THAT'S IN MOTION. I DON'T KNOW.

ELIZABETH, YOU WANT TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE ON THAT? YEAH.

SO AGAIN, THE SAME SUBCOMMITTEE THAT'S WORKING ON THE ITO PARK IS ALSO WORKING ON THE PATH OF HISTORY MARKERS.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED TWO THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND THEN WE HAVE FUNDING TO ACTUALLY CREATE EIGHT NEW ONES, AND THEY'RE WORKING ON THE LANGUAGE FOR THOSE, AND OUR CULTURAL ARTS MANAGER IS FINDING PHOTOS TO GO ALONG ON THOSE SIGNS.

[04:10:01]

I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY FAR ENOUGH, ALONG WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HISTORIC LIBRARY THAT WE DON'T REALLY NEED.

YEAH, I THINK WE'RE I MEAN, WE'RE IN THE FINAL THROES OF NEGOTIATIONS AT THIS POINT.

WE'LL HAVE AN UPDATE FOR YOU IN CLOSED SESSION, PROBABLY EITHER THE FIRST MEETING IN MAY OR THE SECOND, AND WE SHOULD HAVE THAT CONCESSIONAIRE AGREEMENT TO YOU HOPEFULLY HERE IN THE NEXT 30 TO 45 DAYS FROM THE PREVIOUS PLAN.

THIS PLAN THIS WAS DEVELOP EXPERIENCES TO ENGAGE THE CITY'S HISTORIC RESOURCES.

YEAH, AND THAT'S KIND OF ONGOING. YEAH, WE GOT THAT I THINK IN 48.

ANYTHING WITH THE ARTS COMMUNITY THAT. WE DO HAVE.

THE NEXT ITEM THAT'S COMING IS THE RECOMMENDATION ON THE ART PUBLIC ART CONSULTANT THAT'S GOING TO HELP DEVELOP THE ARTESIA STRATEGY.

THAT'S A SO YOU'LL ACTUALLY HAVE THAT. MAY 13TH.

YEAH. WE DON'T NEED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. YOU GOT TO PUT IT ON HERE IS THE PUBLIC WORKS WELL GETTING DONE SOON.

THAT MURAL SCHEDULED FOR JUNE. YEAH. AWESOME.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF RECOMMENDATIONS FROM. COMMISSIONS THAT WE HAVEN'T ADDRESSED.

I THINK WE GOT THE YOUTH COMMISSION. YEAH, WE CAN GO DOWN THROUGH EACH.

THEY'RE SMART. THEY PUT. THEY PUT TWO. LET ME CHECK REAL QUICK.

WE DID GET A I WILL SAY A LOT OF WHAT YOU PUT IN HERE OVERLAPS WITH THE HARBOR COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS.

WELL, SO WE'VE HEARD FROM THE COUNCIL AND THEN THE PROPOSAL MIGHT BE TO LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM COMMISSIONS AT THIS POINT. ARE WE ASSUMING SOME OF THAT IS AN OVERLAP? WELL, SOME OVERLAP, BUT I WOULD JUST. NO. GO AHEAD.

WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY IT WAS IN THE AGENDA PACKET.

WE READ IT. WE GOT A BLUE FOLDER ITEM. I THINK IT'S BEEN INTERNALIZED AND REFLECTED IN WHAT WE'VE DONE.

PART OF THE PROCESS. DULY CONSIDERED. DULY CONSIDERED.

FOR EXAMPLE, OUT OF RESPECT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEY HAD IDENTIFIED THE OBJECTIVE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS.

REVISITING THOSE. I WATCHED THAT PART OF THE COMMISSION MEETING TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE GOING TO COME FORWARD WITH SOME RECOMMENDATIONS TO PATCH UP WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD FROM THE LAST TIME.

YEAH, THAT'S THE PLAN, AND WE'LL ADD IT TO THE LIST.

I THINK THERE IS A NEED TO REFINE THAT DOCUMENT.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS WHEN IT WAS ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY, THERE WERE SOME LAST MINUTE CHANGES TO IT.

SO IT'S KIND OF IN BETWEEN WHERE THE ORIGINAL DRAFT AND WHAT ENDED UP GETTING ADOPTED IS BEING KIND OF A HYBRID, BUT I THINK THERE ARE MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS TO GO ABOUT ENSURING THAT WE CAN GET HIGH QUALITY RESIDENTIAL DESIGN IN LIGHT OF A LOT OF THESE NEW STATE MANDATES THAT LIMIT OUR ABILITY AND REQUIRE US TO USE OBJECTIVE STANDARDS, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WE CAN PROVIDE A LIST AND A SCORING SYSTEM OF DIFFERENT DESIGN ELEMENTS WE WANT TO SEE IN A PROJECT, AND THEY HAVE TO REACH A CERTAIN SCORE, AND THAT WOULD BE OBJECTIVE.

SO THERE ARE I THINK THERE MAY BE MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS OF DOING IT THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW, AND THAT'S WHAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS GETTING AT.

YEAH. YEAH, I MEAN, SO THAT'S THAT MAY BE A FUTURE ITEM THAT IF IT'S A FUTURE, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY MARK, IT'S GOING TO COME NATURALLY. WE DON'T NEED TO PUT IT ON THE STRATEGIC. YEAH, AND IT CAME ABOUT WE RECENTLY HAD A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT THAT WAS APPROVED ON PCH, AND WE KIND OF REALIZED THAT WE ARE LIMITED IN TERMS OF WHAT WE HOW WE COULD REGULATE THE DESIGN AND ENSURE HIGH QUALITY DESIGN.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE IMPETUS OF REALLY REVISITING THESE STANDARDS AND EVALUATING WAYS TO DO IT MORE EFFECTIVELY.

AWESOME. I MEAN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE'VE GOT ONE. I MEAN, WE'VE GOT THEIR SECOND THING HERE.

WE'VE GOT THEIR THIRD BULLET. YEAH. THE FIFTH, SIXTH BULLETS INCLUDED.

WE'VE ALREADY GOT CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR BULLETS, WHATEVER THAT IS.

FIVE AND SEVEN. SO I THINK THEY'RE PRETTY WELL REPRESENTED.

WE HAVE BIKE RACK DEVELOPMENT STANDARD. NO, THAT'S THE ONE I DIDN'T MENTION.

WE DON'T HAVE A TRIANGLE PLAN. NO, WE DON'T HAVE THAT ONE EITHER.

WE DIDN'T WE DON'T HAVE FOUR AND WE DON'T HAVE FIVE.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU GET A BIKE RACK IN THE CITY? YOU REPORTED ON ACCESS REDONDO? WE COULD REALLY USE A BIKE RACK HERE, AND THEN IT MIRACULOUSLY, IN LIKE TWO WEEKS, MIKE KLEIN GETS IT PUT IN AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

YOU TAKE A PICTURE, YOU GET GEOLOCATED. YEAH, EXACTLY.

WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE A STANDARD. IT'S A STANDARD THAT FRUSTRATES THE PRIVATE SECTOR A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF AN EXPENSIVE RACK, BUT IT'S AN EFFECTIVE RACK. SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT DIDN'T FIT IN THE BINS OR WE MISSED THEM, AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE WANT TO INCLUDE THEM.

ONE IS SEA LEVEL RISE AND THE SEAWALL FUNDING FOR SEAWALL REPLACEMENT.

[04:15:02]

I DON'T THINK WE NEED IT. OKAY. WE HAVE NOTHING ABOUT THE MANDATES, WHICH WE BROUGHT UP IN THE SWOT AS BEING ONE OF THE MAJOR ITEMS WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT MAJOR THREATS. THERE'S NOTHING WE WANT IN THERE ABOUT OUR FULL TIME MAYOR IS GOING TO TRAVEL TO SACRAMENTO AND GET THEM TO STOP DOING WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

YEAH. STAFF TRAINING DROPPED OUT. NO, THAT'S GOING TO JUST HAPPEN AS A MATTER OF COURSE.

WE'RE NOT PUTTING. YOU DON'T NEED THAT. NO, AND NOTHING ABOUT.

I ABOUT. I DON'T THINK WE CAPTURED THE OLYMPIC GAMES. NO.

IN HERE. SO THE OLYMPICS KEEP GETTING NOT JUST OLYMPIC, BUT MAJOR EVENTS.

FIFA, SUPER BOWL. MIGHT GO HERE. I THINK THIS MIGHT BE.

I THINK IT'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ISN'T IT? SURE.

IT'S NOT CALLED OUT. BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE EVENTS.

YOU COULD ADD EVENTS TO THIS. I THINK THIS IS MORE ABOUT THE ECONOMICS.

GREAT. BRINGING IN. YEAH. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE OLYMPICS FROM AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE.

SO FROM ON THAT NOTE, THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION WANTED US TO DO LIKE A CHOIR AND SOME OTHER STUFF FOR THE ARTS FOR THE OLYMPICS, BUT I QUESTION IF THERE ARE NO OLYMPIC EVENTS TAKING PLACE IN THE SOUTH BAY.

TO WHAT EXTENT ARE WE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, COMING TO THE SOUTH BAY TO SEE ARTS, PARTICIPATE IN THE CHOIR OR SEE THE CHOIR, OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

I MEAN, LIKE, DO WE ANTICIPATE ECONOMIC STIMULUS FROM THE OLYMPICS? YES. IN REDONDO BEACH WE WILL RECEIVE OLYMPICS APPARATUS THAT WILL BE HERE.

THERE WILL BE, WHETHER IT BE TELEVISION GROUPS AFFILIATED WITH BROADCAST PRODUCTION SUPPORT, AMENITIES. WE WILL HAVE ACTIVITIES. WE WILL LIKELY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN HOSTING, VIEWING PARTIES AND THE LIKE. I BUT THOSE AREN'T REALLY MANIFESTED ENOUGH FOR US TO SAY SPECIFICALLY WHAT EACH OF THOSE GOALS ARE.

I THINK AT THIS, IF WE DO ANYTHING, IT WOULD BE A GOAL UNDER ONE THREE THAT JUST SAYS DEVELOP AN OLYMPIC, OLYMPIC MAJOR EVENT, SUB WORKING GROUP, MAJOR EVENT WORKING GROUP, WHICH I'M GOING TO STAND UP IN MAY, A WORKING GROUP TO YOU KNOW, TO PURSUE ACTIVITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES WHERE A PPROPRIATE OR FEASIBLE, AND THEN I THINK WE JUST IT'S KIND OF A STANDING GROUP.

WE'LL ASSESS AND TRIAGE WHAT COMES ABOUT. WE'LL DO SOME PROMOTING AND PROACTIVE ENGAGEMENT AND THEN SEE WHERE THE CHIPS FALL, AND THE NEAREST EVENTS ARE GOING TO BE DIGNITY, DIGNITY HEALTH PARK OVER AT CAL STATE DOMINGUEZ AND THEN LONG BEACH, AND SO FAR, YEAH [INAUDIBLE] AND INTO IT, CLOSE INTO IT ALL THAT.

SO THERE'S PLACES WITHIN TEN MILES OF US AND SEASIDE .

OKAY, SO LET'S THE OLYMPIC LONG DISTANCE SWIMMING.

YEAH. DO A THOUSAND LAPS PROCESS CHECK. NOW WE HAVE ALMOST 50 OBJECTIVES.

I THINK WE JUST GOT 50. DID WE? OH, RIGHT. IF ONCE WE ADDED THAT ONE.

SO WE'RE AT 50. SO T HAT'S A GOOD NUMBER, AND 50 AND 50.

NOW ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD RIGHT BEFORE DINNER WAS AROUND PRIORITIZATION AND THE DIRECTION WE WENT WAS TO GO AHEAD AND FLUSH THESE OUT TO GET A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT WAS THERE.

SO DOES THIS GIVE THE CITY MANAGER ENOUGH DIRECTION? I PROPOSE A PRIORITIZATION STRATEGY CALLED YOU GET WHAT YOU GET AND YOU DON'T THROW A FIT.

THAT'S GREAT STRATEGIC PLANNING. YEAH. NO, I MEAN, THIS IS PRETTY CLEAR.

I THINK THIS IS, IF WE'RE TALKING 10 TO 12 MONTHS WE'RE IN THE BALLPARK HERE.

I MEAN, THERE WILL BE A FEW THINGS THAT MAY NOT MAKE IT.

I FEEL LIKE I'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD VIBE FROM THE COUNCIL ON THIS.

CLEARLY, MY TAKEAWAY IS, YOU KNOW, THE ECONOMIC SIDE OF THE EQUATION IS BIG AND EMBRACED BY ALL.

AFTER THAT, THERE'S KIND OF EQUITY AMONG POLICY PRIORITIZATION HERE.

I THINK EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT FP HAS TO BE DONE AND IS PREEMINENT.

SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M CONFUSED BY COUNCIL'S DIRECTION AND GOALS HERE.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE US TO FOCUS ON BEYOND THOSE TWO THINGS THAT I JUST MENTIONED, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR IT, BUT ARTESIA, ALL OF THE ECONOMIC ITEMS I'VE GOT, ALL OF THE ECONOMIC ITEMS AND FP AND EVERYTHING ELSE

[04:20:01]

IF THERE IS SOMETHING IN GOALS TWO, THREE AND FOUR AND FIVE THAT YOU THINK IS IN THAT SAME PRIORITIZATION, I'M ALL EARS. OKAY. SO I AM HEARING SOME PRIORITIZATION HERE.

PART OF IT WAS JUST WE KNOW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT'S THE BULK OF IT.

FP AND THEN I DISAGREE WITH YOU. I'D BE UPSET IF THAT'S ALL WE GOT DONE IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS AND THE REST OF THIS IS JUST KICKED TO THE.

NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING. I'M SAYING W E'RE GOING TO RUN ALL THESE IN PARALLEL.

RIGHT. TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS ASSIGN DIFFERENT OBJECTIVES, BUT IF I'M PUTTING THESE, IF I'M PUTTING ALL 50 ITEMS INTO TWO BUCKETS, I'VE GOT A BUCKET OF WHAT? GIVE ME THE COUNT IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, JANE, FOR ITEMS 114, AND THEN.

SO WE'VE GOT 711. NOW WE'VE GOT 15 IN THAT, AND THEN TAKE IT DOWN TO TWO ONE.

SO WE'RE AT 20. SO THE FIRST 20 ON THAT TO ME FEEL LIKE THOSE ARE THERE'S A COALESCING AROUND THOSE BEING THE KIND OF UPPER 40% OF THE OVERALL PLAN, AND THEN THE BALANCE OF THE PLAN IS EQUAL PRIORITIZATION, AND I SAY, LET'S COME BACK IN A YEAR AND YOU CAN GET EVERYTHING DONE.

YEAH. WELL, AND THAT'S OUR GOAL WILL BE TO GET ALL 50 ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN THE 10 TO 12 MONTH PERIOD.

OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL ON THIS? YES. YEAH.

YES. YEAH. I THINK HE'S GOT AN UNDERSTANDING OF OUR PRIORITIES, AND THERE MIGHT BE LIKE I DON'T KNOW, ONE OF THOSE UP IN THE, IN THE ONES OR TWOS THAT ENDS UP BEING A LOWER PRIORITY THAN, THAN 3.1, BUT THE IDEA IS TO GET THEM ALL DONE, AND YOU CAN'T GIVE PRIORITY, NUMBER ONE PRIORITY TO EVERYTHING. WELL, AND I WOULD ADD THAT WE GET THESE UPDATES ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN OFTEN SO WE CAN HAVE THIS DISCUSSION AGAIN ABOUT SOMETHING THAT MAY, YOU KNOW, COME UP AS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY IN THAT MOMENT, AND WE CAN ADDRESS IT THEN.

YEAH, AND IT'S WORTH MENTIONING THAT ESPECIALLY THE NEW COUNCILMEMBER S, WHEN YOU SEE THE UPDATE OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN, IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CARE ABOUT ISN'T ADVANCING, AND YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO MIKE AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT, SAY, HEY, WHERE ARE WE ON THIS? I MEAN, THAT SAID TO BRAD'S POINT, IF THERE'S ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT FRAMEWORK THAT IS EVERYBODY'S COALESCED AROUND LIKE I'M ALL EARS. IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WE WANT TO ADD TO THAT UPPER BAND, LET US KNOW, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

JUST IN CONVERSING WITH ALL OF YOU BEFORE, DURING AND OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS ON THIS, THAT'S MY VIBE. THAT'S NOT TRUE. THAT'S NOT REALLY STRATEGIC PLANNING.

THERE'S NO I'M SURE THERE'S THINGS DOWN THIS LIST THAT AREN'T THAT YOU'RE SAYING IS NOT A TOP PRIORITY, THAT YOU'VE GOT STAFF IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS THAT INTEND TO ACCOMPLISH RIGHT AND MAKE THAT THEIR NUMBER ONE, AND I THINK THAT'S THE LEVEL THAT SHOULD COME BACK.

BECAUSE, LOOK, WE DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING DONE ON THIS LIST THAT WE SAID WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET EVERYTHING DONE ON THIS LIST.

WE'RE NOT I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW. PROBABLY NOT, AND I CAN TELL YOU, LIKE ON PRESERVATION, FOR EXAMPLE, AS SOON AS SOMEBODY COMES IN WITH SOMETHING FOR THE BANK ON THE CORNER OF TORRANCE AND PCH, WE'RE GOING TO LOSE A ONE OF A KIND MOSAIC BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE AND THERE'S OTHER EXAMPLES OF THAT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. WE LOST OUR MOST FAMOUS, OUR OLDEST STRUCTURE IN NORTH REDONDO.

WE LOST BECAUSE THE HOMEOWNER DIDN'T WANT TO RETAIN IT.

WHAT WOULD YOU PROPOSE THAT WE DO? LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WE'RE LIKE A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, RIGHT? BOARD OF DIRECTORS DOESN'T BUILD A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE COMPANY.

THE OPERATIONAL COMPONENT OF THE COMPANY BUILDS THE PLAN AND PRESENTS IT.

NOW, WE'VE GIVEN A WHOLE LOT OF INSIGHT AND DIRECTION ON WHAT WE LIKE AS THE POLICYMAKERS HERE.

I THINK THE EXECUTION ARM OF THIS, WHICH IS MIKE AND HIS TEAM, SHOULD GO BACK, AND WE MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING THAT THESE GUYS THINK IS THEIR TOP PRIORITY. WELL, THIS WILL COME BACK FOR OUR APPROVAL, RIGHT? THAT'S THE TIME THAT WE'LL BE DOING THAT, AND THEN IT SHOULD COME BACK WITH PRIORITIES AND WHAT THEY CAN DO AND WHAT THEY CAN'T DO REALISTICALLY, AND THEN WE GO, YES OR NO. I'D LIKE YOU TO ELEVATE THIS AND REMOVE THAT.

OR DID YOU THINK ABOUT THIS. SO I'M HEARING AN ADDITION.

[04:25:02]

I MEAN WHAT NORMALLY HAPPENS THIS IS A PUNCH LIST OF THINGS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO AREN'T IN HERE EVERY DAY.

CAME UP WITH IN ONE MEETING. WELL, YOU DIDN'T JUST COME UP WITH YOURSELF, RIGHT? YOU CAME UP WITH THIS COLLECTIVELY BASED ON A FOUNDATION OF HISTORY IN THESE VARIOUS.

SOME SOME ARE BRAND NEW, AND I REALLY QUESTION WHETHER EVERYBODY READ THROUGH EVERY ITEM THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT BLUE FOLDER ITEMS. QUESTION WHETHER EVERYONE ON. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD.

THAT WE READ THEM AND HAVE SYNTHESIZE THAT INTO THIS, BUT I THINK WE DID AN INDIVIDUAL TRIAGE OF OURSELVES TO KNOW WHAT WHAT CITY STAFF CAN HANDLE IN LIGHT OF WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT CITY STAFF CAN HANDLE. YOU'RE NOT IN HERE OFTEN ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT CITY I'M NOT IN HERE OFTEN ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT CITY STAFF CAN HANDLE, BUT I ALSO KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO COME BACK WITH SOMETHING THAT WE'VE ASKED FOR IN PAST, YOU KNOW, YEARS AGO, AND YOU THINK ALL THIS IS DOABLE IN 12 MONTHS? NOT DOABLE, BUT PROGRESS ON A LOT OF IT. YES, A LOT OF IT.

I LIKE WHAT WE HAVE UP HERE, AND YOU'RE GOING TO REPORT BACK? WELL, I MEAN, WITHOUT BEATING A DEAD HORSE BACK TO LIFE.

WE HAVE THE TOP PRIORITIES AT THE TOP, AND YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE EQUAL EQUITY DEPENDING ON FUNDING AND OPPORTUNITIES.

YOU'LL CONFER WITH YOUR STAFF, YOU'LL COME BACK, WE'LL HAVE UPDATES, YOU'LL LET US KNOW. YOU'LL TAKE INDIVIDUAL INPUT. WE'LL GO FROM THERE AND WORK FORWARD. THE HARBOR COMMISSION HAD LIKE 15 POINTS ON THEIR STRATEGIC PLANNING ITEMS. RIGHT, BUT WE ONLY LISTED LIKE 4 OR 5 ITEMS HERE.

SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU DIDN'T READ THEM OR YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT THE REST OF THE STUFF, OR JUST YOU PRIORITIZE WHAT WAS IMPORTANT? I DIDN'T WALK DOWN THROUGH THEM TO SEE WHAT EVERYBODY'S THOUGHTS WERE, AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE DID.

LAST TIME WE BROUGHT UP THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS, WE WALKED THROUGH THEM AND SAID, YES. NO. YES. NO. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT, MAYOR, ON THIS STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE HAVE LEFT OUT? I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU WHERE I'M AT ON THIS. ALL RIGHT.

I THINK WHAT I'M HEARING IS KIND OF SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PROCESS.

I'M NOT SURE IF WE'RE AT THE POINT NOW TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PROCESS, BUT I BELIEVE THE NEXT STEP IS PROBABLY THE PRIORITIZATION INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MIGHT BE, AND WHAT I'M HEARING FROM OTHER FOLKS IS THAT THE PRIORITIZATION IS KIND OF BAKED INTO THIS.

I THINK. SO LET'S GO AROUND THE I MEAN, THIS IS A COUNCIL FEELING AND DECISION.

YEAH. YEAH. THE MAYOR'S EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT PERHAPS SOME OF THESE ITEMS NOT BEING FULLY REFLECTIVE OF OF THE COLLECTIVE WISDOM AND PRIORITY.

I'VE INTERPRETED THE KIND OF THE UPPER 20 AS BEING TOP BAND, EVERYTHING ELSE BEING OF EQUAL WEIGHT.

TELL ME IF T HAT'S NOT THE CASE, AND I'M BASING THAT NOT ON JUST MY FEELINGS ON IT, BUT ALL ALL THE CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD WITH EACH OF YOU.

SO I SUPPORT YOUR APPROACH. I RECOMMEND WE MOVE FORWARD ON IT.

IF THINGS IF WE HAVE ISSUES, WE'LL WILL ADJUST IF WE NEED TO MAKE A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN THIS PROCESS IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL DO THAT. WE WILL BE BACK, AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO BLOW THIS UP RIGHT NOW.

I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU'VE PROPOSED AND THE ASSURANCES YOU'VE GIVEN.

THAT'S JUST ME. THERE'S OTHER COUNCILMEMBER S.

IF THEY HAVE DIFFERENT THOUGHTS, YEAH, LET'S HEAR FROM EVERYBODY.

SO I'M WILLING TO BUY IN. I CAN SENSE YOU GUYS ARE TIRED AND DON'T WANT TO ENGAGE ON THIS ANY FURTHER, AND YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE GOT. I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT BEFORE WE COME BACK FOR ANOTHER STRATEGIC PLAN, WE THINK THROUGH THE PROCESS AND DO ONE COME BACK AND PROPOSE ONE THAT IS MORE OF A STRATEGIC, TRUE STRATEGIC PROCESS THAN A PUNCH LIST THAT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE THAT AREN'T SITTING IN CITY HALL EVERY DAY COME UP WITH BECAUSE I THINK WE CAN DO THIS BETTER, MORE EFFICIENTLY AND MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN HOW I INTERPRET THAT IS, IS YOU WANT TO HEAR YOU.

WE FLIPPED THIS AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF THIS PROCESS IN THE PAST. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN IT WAS A VERY HEAVY, STAFF DRIVEN PROCESS COUNCIL RECEIVING THAT INFORMATION IN A SENSE AS LIKE A BOARD OF DIRECTORS BLESSING IT, EVALUATING IT, THAT GREW TO BE TO CREATE FRUSTRATION WITH THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL AT THE TIME BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH CONTROL OVER POLICY PRIORITIZATION AND WORKFLOW.

SO WE MIGRATED TO BE A COUNCIL TOP DOWN STRUCTURE.

NOW I'M HEARING YOU WANT A LITTLE MORE OF A I'D LIKE THE PENDULUM IN THE MIDDLE WITH SOME REAL SOME REAL ASSESSMENT ON CAPACITY WITHIN AS AS THE ITEMS ARE DEVELOPED, CAPACITY IN THE DEPARTMENTS THAT WOULD HAVE TO EXECUTE THOSE SPECIFIC ITEMS, NOT THE BROAD. WE CAN ONLY DO THE TOP 20 WITHOUT AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT, YOU KNOW ELIZABETH'S GROUP CAN DO OR WHAT ?

[04:30:02]

IF THESE GOALS ARE REFLECTIVE OF THE CONTINUED THREE YEAR FORMAT, THERE COULD BE SOME ADJUSTMENT, BUT WE COULD VERY EASILY PROPOSE A CONCEPT OBJECTIVE LIST.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS SIT DOWN WITH YOU, ME AND MAYBE JANE, AND COME UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL ON HOW TO IMPROVE THIS TO BE A MORE STRATEGIC PROCESS THAN A PUNCH LIST COME UP BY THE COUNCIL.

WELL, THAT'S GOING BACK TO THE OLD. I MEAN, THAT'S.

NO, NO, I'M SAYING WE COME UP WITH A PROCESS, NOT I DON'T WANT TO COMMIT TO IT TONIGHT BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT IT THROUGH.

OKAY. IF YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM THE STAFF ON THIS, WHICH I HEAR FROM YOU, WHY DON'T WE HAVE A SECOND SESSION, WITH OR WITHOUT JANE, WHERE STAFF COME AND OPINE ON EVERY ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO THEM AS TO HOW COMFORTABLE THEY ARE WITH WHETHER THEY CAN ACHIEVE THIS, AND WHETHER IT'S IN OUR INTEREST, THE CITY'S INTEREST TO DO IT, AND IF THEY RECOMMEND SOMETHING ELSE, I'M NOT GOING TO VETO THIS. SINCE YOU GUYS ARE SATISFIED, LET'S JUST GO ON WITH THIS ONE, BUT LET'S MAKE THE PROCESS BETTER NEXT TIME. OR LET US AT LEAST PROPOSE A PROCESS THAT COULD DO THIS BETTER BEFORE WE'RE HERE DOING IT.

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU COULD PUT TOGETHER SO WE COULD REVIEW IT? EXACTLY. THAT'S WHAT I'M OKAY. NO, THAT'S. I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

I'M ALWAYS OPEN TO GOOD IDEAS. OKAY. GREAT. SO I HEAR SOME NEXT STEPS.

MAYOR'S GOING TO TAKE THE LEAD IN TERMS OF THINKING THROUGH WHAT IMPROVING THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

ALL RIGHT. AFTER I'M DONE WRITING THE. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE.

THE ETIQUETTE AND PROTOCOL, THE REWRITES. I HAVE YOUR LIST AT THAT POINT.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. I MEAN, THERE ARE OPTIONS OUT THERE, TOO, AND , YOU KNOW, HAVING A SENSE OF HOW YOU ALL OPERATE AT THIS POINT, I THINK THERE MIGHT BE WAYS THAT WE CAN TWEAK THE PROCESS A LITTLE BIT AND SATISFY ALL THE NEEDS I'M HEARING HERE RIGHT NOW AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME REALLY GOOD BEST PRACTICES OUT THERE TOO. SO WE CAN WE CAN CONSIDER THAT. OTHER NEXT STEPS WE WILL COME BACK WITH THE MORE PRESCRIPTIVE OBJECTIVES. SO YOU'RE GOING TO WORDSMITH THIS? YES, I WILL WORDSMITH WITH STAFF. THE GOAL TITLES AND THE OBJECTIVE OUTCOMES.

THE WHO, WHAT AND WHERE OR WHEN. REALLY? THE.

YEAH. THE BY WHOM? I GUESS WHEN AND WHAT? WHAT'S THE TIMELINE FOR THAT? TOMORROW. NOT TOMORROW. I PROBABLY HAVE THAT TO COUNCIL IN MAY.

PROBABLY EITHER THE SECOND TUESDAY OR THE THIRD TUESDAY IN MAY.

THERE'S 12 HOURS TO THE NEXT DAY. COME ON. WHAT ELSE? AND THEN WE WILL WE NEED TO GENERALLY SET A TIME FRAME.

I SUPPOSE WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT NOW, BUT I THINK WE DID LAST TIME.

YEAH. MARCH, MARCH MAYBE MARCH OF NEXT YEAR. SO WE'RE BASICALLY I MEAN WE COULD GET ON A 12 MONTH.

WE'RE PUSHING TO A 12 MONTH AT THAT POINT. OR DO YOU LIKE THE TEN MONTH? LET'S SEE WHAT IF THERE'S A WHAT MONTH HAS A A FOURTH OR FIFTH TUESDAY IN IT? COMPROMISE. NO. 11. MARCH HAS A FIFTH TUESDAY, MARCH 31ST. OR WE COULD DO THE FOURTH TUESDAY IN APRIL.

FOURTH. TUESDAY IN APRIL. THE 28TH. TUESDAY IN MARCH.

SO THAT PUTS US RIGHT AT 12 MONTHS. RIGHT. THAT.

THE REALITY IS WE WON'T OFFICIALLY ADOPT THE PLAN, THOUGH, UNTIL, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A MONTH FROM NOW.

OKAY. ROUGHLY. SO IDEALLY, WE WOULD HAVE ADOPTED THE PLAN BEFORE WE GO THROUGH THE CIP AND THE BUDGET BECAUSE IT SHOULD HELP DRIVE DECISION. YEAH, WE'LL HAVE THAT. WE'LL HAVE IT ADOPTED BY THEN, I GUESS TO THE MAYOR'S POINT.

SHOULD WE HEAR FROM STAFF ON THIS PLAN AT SOME POINT? NOT NECESSARILY TONIGHT, BUT, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT WHEN THE PLAN COMES BACK, SHOULD WE HEAR FROM THE DEPARTMENT? NO, THE DEPARTMENT HEADS WEIGH IN WHEN WE DRAFT THE OBJECTIVE.

SO WHAT YOU SEE, THE BY WHEN AND THE WHOM IS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS THAT WE WORK THROUGH AS AN EXECUTIVE TEAM.

THERE'S NOTHING ON THIS PLAN THAT ISN'T MANAGEABLE ON ITS OWN.

RIGHT. THE BALANCING ACT IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, WHICH OF THE 50 ITEMS, SOME OF THEM WILL HIT ROADBLOCKS AND WILL BE DELAYED FOR NATURAL REASONS. SOME WILL BE HAVE IMMEDIATE FUNDING AND OTHER OPPORTUNITY THAT WILL ACCELERATE THEIR DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHERS ARE JUST GOING TO BE A CONTINUAL CONSTRUCTIVE EFFORT SO STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO EXECUTE EVERYTHING ON THIS PLAN,

[04:35:05]

PRODUCTIVE. MAYBE SOMETHING WE MISSED. YEAH. I MEAN, THIS WILL BE TWEAKED AND ADJUSTED TO REFLECT WHAT IS A MORE ACHIEVABLE OUTCOME THAN PERHAPS WHAT IS CONCEPTUALIZED HERE. THAT'S WHERE STAFF WILL GIVE YOU INPUT, BUT THEN I GUESS THE OTHER INPUT WE'D WANT FROM THEM IS LIKE THE MAYOR JUST SAID, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE MISSED THAT THEY THINK WE SHOULD PURSUE, THE CITY SHOULD PURSUE, THERE SHOULD BE A MEANS BY WHICH THEY CAN ALSO ADD THAT OR RECOMMEND.

THAT'S THE PART THAT IS ALWAYS A REALITY. IF THERE'S SOMETHING ADMINISTRATIVELY WE NEED TO DO OR MUST DO OR OR CREATES INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY OPPORTUNITY FOR US, WE ALWAYS PIVOT TO THAT OPPORTUNITY INTERNALLY.

THERE'S WE DON'T STAFF IS GOING TO DO WHAT IS REQUIRED AS ISSUES PRESENT THEMSELVES OUT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THIS PLAN.

THAT'S JUST THE REALITY. THAT'S TACTICAL. SO THAT I MEAN THAT'S ONE THING THAT WILL ALWAYS OCCUR.

THIS PLAN WON'T PREVENT US FROM DOING THE MUST DO'S.

ANY OTHER NEXT STEPS? COUNCIL FEELS CLEAR. OUR NEW COUNCILMEMBER S CALL YOU OUT.

OKAY? YEAH, I THINK SO. GREAT. MAYOR. I'VE ALREADY EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE COUNCIL'S GOOD WITH IT. SO.

IS THAT A WRAP? 27. ALL RIGHT. CAN WE ADJOURN FROM HERE? DO WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO CITY HALL? YEAH, I THINK I THINK WE HAVE MOVED IT TO HERE.

YEAH. OKAY. DO WE HAVE TO OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ANYMORE? OH, YEAH W E SHOULD. WE TYPICALLY DO GET SOME FINAL PUBLIC INPUT, BUT I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC, ANYBODY ONLINE, ONLINE PUBLIC COMMENT. WE'LL LOOK ONLINE.

WE HAVE ONE ZOOM ATTENDEE, BUT NO HAND RAISED.

OKAY. THANK YOU ALL. YEAH. GOOD JOB. THANK YOU.

JANE. OKAY. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? ALL FOUR. OKAY.

WE'RE DONE.
