I ALSO WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THE REDONDO BEACH EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION GALA IS THIS FRIDAY EVENING AT KINCAID'S.

BUT HE CONFIRMED THAT, IN FACT IT WAS INDEED AN AGENT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

HOPEFULLY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND THANKS FOR DOING THAT.

OKAY. JIM MUELLER AND THEN MICKEY JOHNSON. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

IT'S ALWAYS A PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS YOU IN A PUBLIC FORUM.

ON THE CITY WEBSITE I SAW THERE'S A LOT OF FINANCIAL DETAIL, SO I WAS EXCITED BECAUSE I WANTED TO DO SOME ANALYSIS.

THEN I DISCOVERED THE FIRST PROBLEM THE ACTUALS THERE DON'T GO PAST FISCAL YEAR 2019 2020.

WHERE ARE 2021, 21- 22, 22- 23, 23- 24, 24- 25 YEAR TO DATE.

THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL COMPREHENSIVE REPORT, WHICH IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE WEBSITE HAS ONLY FISCAL YEAR 2023.

WHERE IS FISCAL YEAR 2024? THE AACAP WILL BE COMING UP FOR A VOTE.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION IS AS PART OF THAT PLAN.

SEEMS KIND OF SPARSE AND IT MAY BE WAY OUT OF DATE SINCE THE AACAP WAS ADOPTED FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE GALLERIA WAS SUPPOSED TO CONTRIBUTE $1 MILLION TO THE AACAP COST.

HOW'S THAT SHAPING UP? AN UPDATE IN MORE DETAIL WILL BE NEEDED BEFORE THE PUBLIC VOTES ON THE AACAP .

LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THE CITY'S FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY.

MY FRIENDS ON THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMISSION HAD QUESTIONS THAT WEREN'T WERE ANSWERED AT THEIR RECENT MEETING AND THEY COULD HAVE ASKED A LOT MORE.

I ASKED THE COUNCIL TO DIRECT THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO UPDATE THE FINANCIAL DATA ON THE WEBSITE ASAP.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. MICKEY JOHNSON AND THEN THE LAST CARD I HAVE IS DESIREE GALASSI.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER S. I AM MICKEY JOHNSON, AND I'M A 30 YEAR RESIDENT OF DISTRICT FIVE,

[00:20:01]

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO THE ENTIRE CITY, THE COUNCIL AND MAYOR LIGHT FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF SPRING FEST.

WE HAD A GREAT, GREAT PROGRAM THIS YEAR. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.

OUR ATTENDANCE AND RIDERSHIP WAS UP 25% THIS YEAR.

WE HAD ALL 14 REDONDO BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOLS INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAM.

THEY WERE SELLING TICKETS AND THEY WERE EARNING FUNDS FOR THEIR SCHOOLS AS WELL AS WE HAD SCHOOL ENTREPRENEURS PARTICIPATE IN OUR MARKETPLACE.

WE HAD OVER 30 BUSINESSES IN THE MARKETPLACE, INCLUDING SOME NON-PROFITS LIKE WATERFRONT EDUCATION AND AUNT HATTIE'S ALOHA FOUNDATION.

WE HAD NINE FOOD TRUCKS AND STANDS, AND WE HAD 34 STUDENTS SIGN UP FOR THE FIRST EVER SOUTH BAY'S GOT TALENT.

SO WE HAD A HUGE TALENT CONTEST, AND WE FEATURED A CASTING PRODUCER FROM AMERICA'S GOT TALENT, AND A FEW OF THE STUDENTS WERE EVEN SIGNED WITH AGENTS DURING THE EVENT.

WE HAD LOCAL BANDS AND PERFORMING GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WEEKEND, INCLUDING DANCE ONE, THE REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL, SALSA CLUB, AND LOCAL BANDS AND PROFESSIONALS LIKE BARLEY, JEREMY BUCK AND DICK.

THE CITIZEN WHO BROUGHT GREAT CROWDS. THE BEER, WINE AND SPIRITS GARDEN THIS YEAR HAD DOUBLED THE ATTENDANCE, AND WE ALSO HOSTED THE REDONDO CHAMBER MIXER ON THURSDAY NIGHT, WHICH WAS A LOT OF FUN.

IT'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME OF OUR NONPROFITS TO RAISE FUNDS AND AWARENESS, INCLUDING KEEP THE ESPLANADE BEAUTIFUL, ROTARY, KIWANIS, ANGEL CITY CHORALE, AND THE HOLLYWOOD RIVIERA SPORTSMEN'S CLUB.

BEST OF ALL, WE HAD 100 VOLUNTEERS THAT HELPED TO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN.

AND IT'S A TRUE, TRUE COMMUNITY EVENT. WE WERE ALSO HONORED TO HAVE SOME VERY SPECIAL EMCEES ON STAGE.

WE HAD COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT WAS THERE AND COUNCIL MEMBER S WALLER AND CASTLE.

I THINK IT WAS ALMOST MAYBE ONE OF THEIR VERY FIRST PUBLIC SPEAKING EVENTS BECAUSE IT WAS RIGHT AFTER THE ELECTION.

SO NEXT UP, I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE HAVING DINE AROUND ARTESIA COMING UP, AND WE'RE ACTUALLY EXPANDING THE EVENT.

THE PAST TWO YEARS WERE SOLD OUT, AND THE ONLY COMPLAINT WE HAD WAS THAT THERE WAS TOO MUCH FOOD.

SO WE ARE EXPANDING IT TO TWO NIGHTS AND WE'LL HAVE EAST AND WEST ARTESIA.

THE DATES WILL BE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13TH AND WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, AND WE'RE EXPANDING IT TO INCLUDE NON-FOOD BUSINESSES THAT WILL HOST ARTISTS AS WELL LOCAL ARTISTS. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.

THANK YOU. MICKEY CAN YOU CLARIFY THOSE DATES ONE MORE TIME? AUGUST 13TH AND SEPTEMBER 10TH. THANKS. OKAY.

DESIREE GALASSI. CAN WE GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE? SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL FOR IT. AYE. HI THERE. DESIREE GALASSI, DISTRICT FOUR, RESIDENT OF REDONDO BEACH.

PROUD RESIDENT. YOU HEARD FROM MICKEY ANGEL CITY CORRAL VOLUNTEERED AT SPRINGFEST.

I AM ACTUALLY HERE FROM ANGEL CITY CHORALE, AND I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT OUR SHOW THAT WE HAVE COMING UP ON MAY 25TH AT THE REDONDO BEACH PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.

YOU KNOW, MUSIC HAS AN INCREDIBLE POWER TO UNIFY US, TO MAKE US FEEL GOOD, TO GIVE US HOPE.

AND THIS CONCERT IS ALL ABOUT HOPE. IMAGINE SONGS FROM BOB DYLAN, JONI MITCHELL, JOHN LEGEND, CARLY SIMON SUNG BY 150 PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED VOICES.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING YOU THAT AFTERNOON IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING ELSE.

BUT IT'S NOT JUST ALL ABOUT OUR SONGS. WE ARE OPENING UP OUR LOBBY TO SOME GREAT ORGANIZATIONS, VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR OUTREACH ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS.

YOU KNOW, THEM, SOME OF THEM, YOU KNOW PRETTY WELL, LIKE THE SOUTH BAY PARKLAND LAND CONSERVANCY, AND IN PARTICULAR, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A YOUNG MAN BY THE NAME OF ROBBIE SHERWOOD.

HE IS A REDONDO BEACH RESIDENT. HE IS 11 YEARS OLD, AND HE HAS CREATED A SPORTS DRINK THAT HAS WON ALL KINDS OF AWARDS.

AND SINCE WE'RE GOING TO BE SELLING CONCESSIONS ANYWAY AT OUR EVENT, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO INCLUDE ROBBIE'S DRINK AS PART OF OUR CONCESSIONS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM A LITTLE BIT OF A SPOTLIGHT.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE A TABLE IN THE LOBBY. SO THIS IS A WONDERFUL EVENT.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME DOWN. IF YOU YOU KNOW, THE WE HAVE A 10% DISCOUNT THAT WE'RE OFFERING FOR

[00:25:09]

AND I WILL SEND YOU SOME INFORMATION VIA EMAIL THAT YOU CAN DISTRIBUTE.

THANKS SO MUCH. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL AT THIS POINT? I'M SORRY. GOOD EVENING. GEORGETTE GANTNER, DISTRICT TWO.

I HOPE EVERYONE'S DOING WELL TONIGHT. I'D LIKE TO BRING UP SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE AWKWARD.

IT SHOULDN'T BE, BUT. WELL, IT WILL BE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROCEDURE IS WITH THE CITY.

WHEN I CALL PEOPLE SOME ANSWER, SOME DON'T. AND I LEAVE MESSAGES.

MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THEY DON'T GET BACK TO ME.

AND I'M SORRY, MAYOR, I HAVE TO ASK YOU, WHAT IS YOUR PROCEDURE IF I HAVE TRIED SIX TIMES? PHONE CALLS, EMAILS. AND I EVEN CAME INTO THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE AND LEFT.

THEY PUT NOTES ON YOUR DESK. JUST WONDERING, WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE IF I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING? I MEAN, IS THAT. ARE YOU AVAILABLE? I MEAN, I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY.

WE'RE ALL BUSY. I KNOW YOU'RE REALLY BUSY. VERY BUSY.

BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROCEDURE IS.

AND IF I REACH OUT TO YOU, IS IT BEST BY PHONE OR EMAIL.

I KNOW WE CAN'T HAVE A DISCOURSE, BUT AT THIS POINT.

BUT I JUST WONDERED, YOU KNOW, WHAT THAT PROCEDURE MIGHT BE SO THAT IF I DO HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, AND IF YOU HAVE TIME, OR YOU JUST WANT TO GET BACK TO ME IN AN EMAIL IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.

EMAIL IS BETTER? PHONE? JUST NOD.

THANK YOU. NOT SUPPOSED TO GET INTO DISCOURSE UP HERE.

ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL AT THIS POINT? HELLO, THIS IS ANDY PORKCHOP. I CAME HERE 41 YEARS AGO AS JUST THROW THIS IN FOR A TRIVIA.

I TRY TO STAY ALIVE SO I CAN COLLECT MORE SOCIAL SECURITY, AND I'M DOING MY HEALTH EXERCISE OUT AT THE ESPLANADE AND THE BEACH, AND SINCE WE ARE SO BUSY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THE FACT THERE IS A GROUP CALLED THEMSELVES SOUTH BAY PARKLAND CONSERVANCY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WHAT THEIR OBJECTION THERE, BUT IN MY OPINION, THEY'RE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB IF THAT'S CREATING DUST, SAND AND EROSION. SO, LIKE A GROUP OF SIX PEOPLE, I NOTICED THEY ARE WEEDING RIGHT NOW.

AND THE PLANTS THAT ARE GROWING, NATURALLY, THEY ARE PULLING IT OUT.

AND THE PLANTS THAT DIED OUT WERE THERE, PLANTED.

THEY'RE PUTTING NEW FLAGS. SO WHEN I WALK ON THE BIKE PATH, ALL I SEE IS DEAD PLANTS AND BANNERS. NOW THEY HAVE BIG BANNERS, YOU KNOW, SOUTH BAY PARKLAND, WHATEVER.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO LOOK AT THAT EVERY TIME I GO TO THE BEACH, BY THE WAY.

SO ANYWAY, I SEE BIG DAMAGE. BIG DAMAGE ON THE BLUFF.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE OBJECTIVE, YOU KNOW.

SO EVEN WHAT IS GROWING THEY'RE, PULLING IT UP.

WHEN I MOVED IN HERE THEY HAD IVY. IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

YOU KNOW, IT PROTECTED THE BLUFF. THE RAINSTORM AND THE REINVENT.

DONE. NOW WE HAVE NOTHING BUT EROSION OR EROSION, YOU KNOW.

SO, ANYWAY LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME GOOD NEWS. MY CITY TORRANCE IS BUILDING THE PICKLEBALL.

PICKLEBALL COURSES, AND PRETTY SOON, PROBABLY THREE, FOUR, FIVE YEARS.

IT DEPENDS. YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE ALL WELCOME TO PICKLEBALL.

YOU KNOW, I INVITE YOU TO COME AND PLAY PICKLEBALL.

SO THEY STARTED AT $1.2 MILLION. NOW THEY UP TO 1.6.

SO PROBABLY $2.5 MILLION. ALSO TORRANCE IS GOING TO HAVE A MEMORIAL FOR THE JAPANESE INTERNMENT PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, REMEMBERING.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD A WALL. THEY STARTED OUT WITH LIKE $4 MILLION GOVERNMENT DONATION BUT DID NOT ARRIVE YET.

BUT IT'S ALREADY COSTING $10 MILLION. SO EVERY REDONDO BEACH CITIZEN CAN DONATE OR ESPECIALLY THE JAPANESE CITIZENS DONATE.

SO WE CAN HAVE THAT WALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

REMEMBERING THE INTERNED JAPANESE CITIZENS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL AT THIS TIME? OH. YOUR TIME IS UP. I KNOW, SIR I FORGOT MY.

[00:30:04]

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. WE HAVE NO HEARINGS TONIGHT.

SO THE NEXT ITEM IS N.1 THAT'S DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE ARTESIA BOULEVARD CORRIDOR PUBLIC ART PROJECT.

[N. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION]

MADAM CLERK, WE HAVE A PRESENT. OH, WONDERFUL.

SO TONIGHT WE ARE PRESENTING TO YOU THE STAFF RECOMMENDED CONSULTANT FOR THE LAUNCHING OF THE ARTESIA PUBLIC ART PROJECT.

THAT IS LEBASSE PROJECTS THAT ARE WITH US TONIGHT.

WE HAVE THEM IN THE AUDIENCE AND THEY'LL INTRODUCE THEMSELVES LATER ON IN OUR PRESENTATION. WITH ME TONIGHT ALSO HAVE JACK MEYER, OUR CULTURAL ARTS MANAGER. AND SO WHAT WE DID IN OUR REPORT AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TONIGHT IN OUR PRESENTATION, IS GIVE YOU A BRIEF BACKGROUND ON HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

TALK ABOUT THE COMMISSION, THE PUBLIC ART COMMISSIONS INVOLVEMENT, THEIR FEEDBACK TO US, THEIR COMMENTS AND WHERE THEY CAME INTO THIS PROCESS.

AND THEN MORE EXCITEDLY, WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE AND HOW OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

AND AFTER THAT, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE TEAM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND SHOW YOU WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN OTHER CITIES.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL HAND IT OVER TO MR. MEYER.

GOOD EVENING. SO FOR MOST OF MY NEARLY FOUR DECADES HERE, THERE HAVE BEEN A VARIETY OF ATTEMPTS TO BEAUTIFY VITALIZE REVITALIZE THE THE ARTESIA CORRIDOR. AND IN DECEMBER OF 2020, THE COUNCIL FORMALIZED A PLAN THE ARTESIA AVIATION AREA CORRIDOR AREA PLAN. AND THAT SPECIFIC SECTION OF THE ARTESIA CORRIDOR IS WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING TONIGHT THAT RUNS FROM THE TRAIN CROSSING SLIGHTLY EAST OF INGLEWOOD TO THE BORDER WITH MANHATTAN BEACH ON AVIATION BOULEVARD.

THE GOAL OF THAT A LARGE SECTION OF THAT PLAN WAS INVOLVED IN WHAT THEY CALL PLACEMAKING.

THE IDEA OF MAKING AN ACTUAL IDENTITY FOR THE PLACE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING, NOT JUST A TRANSIT CORRIDOR, THAT YOU WOULD DRIVE THROUGH, BUT YOU WOULD GET OUT OF THE CAR, YOU WOULD STOP, YOU WOULD VISIT, YOU MIGHT SOCIALIZE, COMMUNE. THAT REQUIRES ACTIVITY NODES, THINGS THAT MAKE IT A TARGET FOR PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATION. SO A LARGE PART OF THAT WAS EMPHASIZED IN THE PLAN IS ACTIVATED BY PUBLIC ART. AND SO PUBLIC ART IS THE DISCUSSION.

WE ARE LOOKING AT CREATING A GET OUT OF THE CAR ZONE ACTIVATED BY PUBLIC ART.

SO AS I SAID, THE AACP WAS ADOPTED IN 2020. IN 2023, IT WAS ADOPTED INTO THE STRATEGIC PLAN AS AN OBJECTIVE.

IN JANUARY OF 2024, $400,000 INITIALLY WAS ALLOCATED FROM THE JOHN PARSONS PUBLIC ART FUND AND THEN INCREASED BY ANOTHER $50,000.

SO THERE'S A $450,000 ALLOCATION FOR THIS PROJECT OF RETAINING OR ACQUIRING PUBLIC ART.

THE ALLOCATION ALSO INCLUDED THE RETENTION OF A PUBLIC ART CONSULTANT TO GUIDE AND STEER THIS PROCESS.

THIS IS A LOT OF MOVING PARTS. THE CITY STAFF DOESN'T REALLY HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO OR THE BANDWIDTH TO RUN IT ALL.

AND SO A CONSULTANT IS REQUIRED. A RFQ WAS CRAFTED WITH THE PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION ACROSS THREE SEPARATE MEETINGS AND FINALLY APPROVED IN MAY. THEN IT WAS PUBLISHED ON A PUBLIC ART WEBSITE CALLED CAFE AND THAT WAS CLOSED ON AUGUST 30TH. AT THAT TIME, WE HAD NINE SUBMISSIONS THAT WERE REVIEWED BY THE PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION, WHO DECLARED THAT THEY WERE QUITE IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY AND DEPTH OF THE APPLICANTS AND THAT THEY WERE PLEASED, AND THEN THEY BASICALLY DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE BEST IF STAFF WERE TO DO THE EVALUATION AND EXAMINATION OF THE APPLICANTS, SELECT SOME FINALISTS, AND FINALLY PRESENT TO THE COUNCIL, AS WE ARE TONIGHT. THAT PROCESS WAS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN PUBLIC ARTS, ECONOMIC AND WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT, AND ALSO COMMUNITY SERVICES AND CULTURAL ARTS.

THOSE WERE EVALUATED INITIALLY, AND WE WINNOWED DOWN TO THREE FINALISTS.

AND IN NOVEMBER THEY WERE INTERVIEWED. THEY WERE GIVEN A CHANCE TO DO A LITTLE PRESENTATION.

AND IT WAS PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY AGREED THAT FOR OUR PURPOSES THAT LEBASSE PROJECTS WAS THE THE

[00:35:10]

LEBASSE PROJECTS THE BEST PROJECTS. YES. SO WE GOT THIS AS LBP.

THE REASONS WERE PRIMARILY THEIR DEPTH OF EXPERIENCE, THEIR TECHNICAL EXPERTISE.

THEY'RE A VARIETY OF OTHER REASONS. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY IS THEIR EMPHASIS ON COLLABORATION, THEIR WILLINGNESS AND WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE THE CONTEXTUAL THE CONTEXT OF THE CITY, OF THE LOCATION, UNDERSTAND THE, THE COMMUNITY AND THE CULTURE.

SO THE THERE WERE FOUR KEY ELEMENTS THAT WERE SIGNED IN THEIR PROPOSAL, AND THAT WILL BE IN THE CONTRACT.

AND THESE ARE DEFINED AS TASKS. THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE A REVIEW OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS SITE LOCATIONS AN INVENTORY OF OUR CURRENT PUBLIC ART INVENTORY. BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT BEEN IDLE ALL THESE YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN PUBLIC ART, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS INCLUDED IN THE DISCUSSION COORDINATED. SO NOTHING LOOKS LIKE IT WAS AN AFTERTHOUGHT.

THEN THERE WAS THE VISIONING AND ENGAGEMENT. PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

THAT'S THE COLLABORATIVE PROCESS THAT WILL BE WORKSHOPS, PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS AND SO FORTH.

FOLLOWED BY AN ARTIST SELECTION THERE WILL BE A CALL FOR ARTISTS, AND THAT WILL BE REVIEWED BY BOTH THE CONSULTANT AND A CONVENED COMMUNITY PANEL SO THAT THE CITY RESIDENTS AND SO FORTH, THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT ONTO THE PANEL WILL ACTUALLY REPRESENT ON THIS ART SELECTION. AND THEN FINALLY, THE INSTALLATION PROCESS ALL THE WAY THROUGH DEDICATION.

SO NOT WALKING AWAY WITH. HERE YOU GO. THIS IS GOING TO SEE TO IT THAT IT HAPPENS.

COLLABORATION. WE CONSIDER THE MOST IMPORTANT PHASE OF THIS BECAUSE WITHOUT IT, IT'S NOT REALLY A COMMUNITY PROJECT.

IT'S SOMEBODY TELLING SOMEBODY ELSE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THIS IS ALL ABOUT TRANSPARENCY.

THIS IS ABOUT INCLUSION, DIVERSITY ENDING UP WITH ART THAT RESONATES WITH OUR COMMUNITY.

SO THERE WILL BE WORKSHOPS THAT THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE NRBBA BUSINESS OWNERS RESIDENTS OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ELECTED OFFICIALS AND APPOINTED ADVISORY BOARDS.

A LOT OF THIS WILL BE IN DIRECT COLLABORATION WITH THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION, WHICH IS THE RENAMED AND SLIGHTLY EXPANDED PUBLIC ART COMMISSION.

SO THAT IS BASICALLY OU R SELECTION IS LEBASSE PROJECTS.

YEAH. AND JUST TO GO BACK TO A FEW SLIDES AGO JUST TO TALK THE COUNCIL THROUGH THIS TIMELINE, THE STAFF WHEN IT WAS UP, WHEN WE WERE DIRECTED TO GO AHEAD AND WHITTLE DOWN THAT GROUP OF VERY STRONG CANDIDATES FROM 9 TO 3 AND THEN TO ONE.

WE DID HAVE SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS REPRESENTED ON OUR PANEL, INCLUDING PUBLIC WORKS , BECAUSE THIS ART IS GOING TO PUBLIC SPACES, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT BUILDING THINGS ON TOP OF EASEMENTS OR PIPES OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT PERSPECTIVE ON THE PANEL. WE ALSO INCLUDED MR. KAPOVICH FROM THE WATERFRONT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS WAS ALL STARTED WITH THE AACAP, WHICH IS FOCUSING ON ENHANCING, IMPROVING AND IMPROVING AND SUPPLEMENTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALONG ARTESIA BOULEVARD.

AND WE DID HAVE OUR CULTURAL ARTS MANAGER AT THE TIME, AS WELL AS MYSELF ON THIS PANEL. SO WE WENT FROM 9 TO 3.

AND OF THOSE THREE, THEY PROVIDED VERY LENGTHY PRESENTATIONS.

YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF IT TONIGHT WHEN WE INTRODUCE THE LEBASSE TEAM.

BUT ALL VERY STRONG CANDIDATES, WE WERE SPOILED FOR CHOICE.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, LIKE JACK SAID, THE COLLABORATIVE PART IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WHEN IT COMES TO A PROJECT AS BIG AS THIS.

IT'S A VERY MOMENTOUS PROJECT WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC ARTS, WE'RE VERY PROUD TO PRESENT LEBASSE AS OUR RECOMMENDED CONSULTANT.

AND SO WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND JUST INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS SLIDE.

OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH LEBASSE . IT'S A THREE YEAR CONTRACT. WE ASK THAT THERE BE A MINIMUM OF THREE ART INSTALLATIONS AS WELL AS A PLAN FOR INSTALLATIONS. AFTER THAT, THE COMPENSATION IS NOT TO EXCEED $45,000, WHICH MEANS WE HAVE $405,000 REMAINING FOR THE PROCUREMENT AND INSTALLATION OF ART. AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE BEAU BASSE AND KIM LUANGRAJ OF LEBASSE PROJECTS.

THEY'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH A FEW SLIDES OF THINGS THEY HAVE WORKED ON ALREADY. THANK YOU, ELIZABETH. COUNCIL MEMBER S.

MAYOR. MY NAME IS BEAU BASSE , I'M THE PRINCIPAL AT LEBASSE PROJECTS.

THIS IS KIM LUANGRAJ MY VP OF OPERATIONS. AND WE'RE JUST WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO HOPEFULLY GET THIS PROJECT STARTED SOON.

AND I WAS GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT WHAT WE DO AS A FIRM, SHARE SOME PROJECTS WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST TO SORT OF TRACK WITH WHAT WE HOPEFULLY WE'LL

[00:40:06]

THAT IS ALL WE DO. WE DON'T SELL PAINTINGS, WE DON'T REPRESENT ARTISTS.

WE ONLY FOCUS PRETTY MUCH ON LARGE SCALE, PERMANENT AND SOMETIMES TEMPORARY PUBLIC ARTWORK.

WE WORK FOR A LOT OF LARGE DEVELOPERS. WE WORK FOR QUITE A FEW CITIES SEVERAL HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

WE WERE ALSO WORKING ON PROJECTS GLOBALLY. WE HAVE A SMALL TEAM HERE IN LOS ANGELES.

AND WE CAN I CAN SHOW YOU SOME OF THE PROJECTS.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE WORKING ON A SIMILARLY SCALED PROJECT, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BUT WE'RE WORKING FOR THE CITY OF GLENDALE.

WE'RE MANAGING NEARLY $3 MILLION IN PUBLIC ART FUNDS TO TO OVERSEE TEN INSTALLATIONS ACROSS THE CITY OF GLENDALE.

THERE ARE SOME REDEVELOPING NEIGHBORHOODS IN GLENDALE WHERE WE'RE WORKING ON ART.

AND THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT PROJECT FOR US AND I THINK VERY SIMILAR.

AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH.

WE IT'S NOT OUR JOB TO COME IN AND JUST SAY, THIS IS THE KIND OF ARTWORK WE'RE GOING TO DELIVER.

WE SPENT SIX MONTHS WORKING WITH BUSINESSES, LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS, CITY COUNCIL , ARTS COMMISSION TO REALLY CANVASS AND GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF LIKE WE NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT THE COMMUNITIES WERE LIKE WITHIN THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS IN GLENDALE.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S EACH NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A DIFFERENT VIBE AND FEEL.

THERE'S SORT OF LIKE BRAND BOULEVARD WHERE YOU'VE GOT THE MALL, YOU'VE GOT YOU KNOW, THE NEIGHBORHOODS THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY PARKS.

WE ALSO WORK WITH PARKS AND RECREATION. WE WORK WITH PUBLIC WORKS TO DETERMINE, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IF WE'RE GOING TO INSTALL SOMETHING ON A MEDIAN, WHAT'S UNDERNEATH? SO WE TAKE ALL OF THOSE THINGS INTO ACCOUNT IN OUR ASSESSMENT.

WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME WORKING WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS, AND THERE'S ALWAYS EVERY WE'VE WORKED ON A LOT OF COMMUNITIES.

THERE'S ALWAYS SOME LOUDER VOICES, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE ARE THE VOICES THAT ARE.

WE SPEND TIME TALKING WITH THAT FEEL HEARD, AND THAT WHEN WE'RE COMING FOR APPROVALS, THAT WE WANT THOSE PEOPLE IN HERE CHAMPIONING OUR CONCEPTS.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE COMING BACK. SO THAT'S REALLY THE FIRST STEP.

AND IN GLENDALE, THIS IS JUST A COUPLE OF SLIDES WHERE WE DID AN ASSESSMENT OF ALL OF THE CURRENT ARTWORK IN THE CITY, THE PUBLIC ARTWORK WHERE WE THOUGHT WE COULD STRATEGICALLY ACTIVATE SPACES THE AND HOW THAT ALL WORKED AND THE MAP ALTOGETHER.

AND THEN THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER SECTION OF ALL THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY GROUPS AND CIVIC STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE SPOKE WITH AND SHARED THESE IDEAS WITH, SO THAT WHEN WE CAME BACK FOR APPROVAL ON STRATEGIC PLAN, WE HAD PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY SORT OF CHAMPIONING THOSE STRATEGIC PLANS.

I THINK WE CAN KIND OF KEEP GOING AND FLIPPING THROUGH. AGAIN, THIS IS JUST SORT OF SOME RENDERINGS OF THINGS THAT WILL BE COMING TO GLENDALE.

SOME OF THESE ARE LARGER AND WE'RE DOING SOME SMALLER SCALE. THE GOAL FOR GLENDALE, AND I THINK A LOT OF OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR INTENDED GOAL AS WE DIG INTO THE ARTESIA AVIATION PLAN IS TO HAVE A SENSE OF SCALE.

WE WANT WE WANT ARTWORKS THAT ARE SORT OF LANDMARKS.

WE ALSO WANT THINGS THAT ARE MORE OF A HUMAN SCALE. SO PEOPLE ARE GOING INTO RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE AND TOUCH.

AS WE GET INTO A COUPLE OF FURTHER SLIDES, WE DELIVERED A SERIES OF ARTIST DESIGNED BENCHES FOR LA COUNTY.

WE DID 39 BENCHES ACROSS NINE COUNTY PARKS DESIGNED BY SOME LA ARTISTS.

SO WE WANT THINGS AT DIFFERENT SCALE. AND THAT'S WHEN WE WHEN WE GET INTO THE STRATEGIC PLANNING, WHICH WE HAVEN'T STARTED YET.

THAT'S HOW WE TRY TO APPROACH THINGS, IS, IS LOOKING AT ARTWORK THAT REALLY ENHANCES THE PLACEMAKING OF THE COMMUNITY.

WE KIND OF KEEP GOING. THESE ARE SOME, SOME, SOME RENDERINGS AND SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE PLANNING ON.

SOME OF THE MEDIANS IN GLENDALE. SOME OF THESE CONCEPTS ARE MOVING FORWARD, SOME ARE NOT, BUT JUST SHARING SOME OF IT. WHEN WE PRESENTED TO THE TEAM IN OUR INTERVIEW PROCESS, THEY HAD US SHARE A VERY DETAILED OF LIKE, WHAT DOES YOUR PLAN LOOK LIKE? AND SO THESE ARE SOME IMAGES THAT CAME OUT OF THAT.

AGAIN, SO YOU CAN SORT OF SEE THE SCALE AND THE KIND OF CONCEPTS THAT WE WANT TO REALLY BE LANDMARKS FOR THE COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE, TOUCH AND ACTUALLY ENGAGE WITH AND KIND OF KEEP FLIPPING THROUGH THOSE.

YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF SCALE OF PROJECTS, GLENDALE IS A FAIRLY SIZABLE ONE.

WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF PLANNING ALL THE PUBLIC ART FOR A LIKE AN ENORMOUS PROJECT IN ABHA IN SAUDI ARABIA.

WE'RE WORKING WITH LANDSCAPE DESIGN TEAMS AS THEY'RE, LIKE, RE-ENVISIONING FIVE DISTRICTS ACROSS CITY I N THE HIGH MOUNTAINS OF SAUDI ARABIA. AND AGAIN, JUST DIFFERENT SCALES. WE'VE WORKED WITH CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AS AN EXAMPLE OF A MURAL.

THERE WAS A JOINT PROJECT WITH BEVERLY HILLS AND LOS ANGELES METRO.

[00:45:05]

THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE COLLABORATIVE NATURE. THIS IS A WALL THAT'S TEMPORARY, BUT IT'S A TEN YEAR TEMPORARY.

WELL, METRO SORT OF LIKE REBUILDS THROUGH BEVERLY HILLS.

WE SPENT TIME TALKING WITH SOME REALLY MAJOR HOTEL GROUPS, CIVIC STAKEHOLDERS AND BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN RIGHT THERE ON CANNON FOR DECADES AND WERE REALLY OPPOSED TO HAVING A WALL CLOSING OFF THEIR STREET.

NOW THAT THIS MURAL HAS GONE IN, THEY'VE ACTUALLY PUT OUTDOOR SEATING AND THEY'VE CLOSED OFF THE STREET.

AND THIS MURAL HAS BECOME THE BACKDROP OF A REALLY VIBRANT CUL DE SAC WHERE AT THE VERY BEGINNING THERE WAS SO MUCH OPPOSITION TO EVEN PUTTING ANYTHING THERE.

BUT WE SPENT A YEAR WORKING WITH THOSE STAKEHOLDERS, WORKING WITH CITY COUNCIL , WORKING WITH THE BEVERLY HILLS ARTS COMMISSION TO REALLY LIKE, NOT JUST PICK AN ARTISTS, BUT PICK SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY FELT GOOD ABOUT.

AND SOME OF THE MOST VOCAL OPPONENTS WERE THERE CHAMPIONING THE FINAL CONCEPTS BEFORE WE GOT APPROVED.

SO A LOT OF WORK, BUT THESE ARE THE BENCHES THAT JUST GOT DELIVERED.

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT VERY THIS WAS A GRANT THAT WAS FUNDED FOR IT WAS FOR ART THAT HAD TO BE FUNCTIONAL FOR THE PARK. SO WE WENT THROUGH DIFFERENT ITERATIONS WORKING WITH PARKS AND REC.

WAS IT GOING TO BE TRASH CANS? WAS IT GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, DIVIDING WALLS? AND WE ENDED UP SETTLING ON BENCHES AND WE COMMISSIONED AN LA BASED STUDIO DESIGN, THESE SORT OF LA BENCHES.

THERE'S A RENDERING DOWN THE BOTTOM CORNER, BUT THE ONE RIGHT IN FRONT, I MEAN, THERE ARE THESE GREAT SCULPTURAL BENCHES.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY FUNCTIONAL. THEY CAST THIS LA SHADOW WHEN WE WERE INSTALLING THESE.

THIS JUST GOT INSTALLED LIKE TWO MONTHS AGO. FEBRUARY.

FEBRUARY. WHEN WE WERE INSTALLING THESE WE HAD KIDS TRYING TO CLIMB ON THESE THINGS WHILE THE GUYS WERE THERE WITH THE CRANES INSTALLING THESE THINGS.

SO IMMEDIATELY SUCCESSFUL. BUT AGAIN, ARTWORK, IT'S FUNCTIONAL.

IT'S THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY PUT THEIR HANDS ON AND ENGAGE WITH.

AGAIN, PRIVATE DEVELOPER PROJECT, MOSAIC TILE INSTALLATION ALONG THE STAIRWELL.

THAT'S SORT OF LIKE A SEATING AREA. JUST SHARING SOME OF THE SCALE.

WE WORK WITH A HUGE MASTER PLAN HOME COMMUNITY IN IRVINE.

CREATING PUBLIC ART ACROSS THEIR COMMUNITIES.

EVERYTHING FROM SHADE STRUCTURES TO LIKE, YOU KNOW, HANDS ON, ACTIVE, LIKE, ARTWORK, MURALS.

SO, YEAH, WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT WE'VE GOTTEN OUR HANDS ON A LOT OF REALLY FUN PROJECTS. CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD COMMISSIONED US TO HELP REDESIGN THEIR FREE PUBLIC BUS SYSTEM. AND SO THEY HAD THESE, LIKE, SORT OF BORING WHITE BUSSES.

AND WE COMMISSIONED ARTISTS TO WRAP AND DESIGN THE CITY LINE BUSSES.

SO NOW THESE BUSSES, THEY HAVE FIVE OF THESE BUSSES DRIVING THROUGH WEST HOLLYWOOD. IT'S THEIR [INAUDIBLE] SORT OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. AND THEY'RE BRIGHT. THEY'RE COLORFUL. THEY'RE BUSSES. YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO GET ON VERSUS SORT OF THESE LIKE BORING WHITE BUSSES.

AGAIN, A PROJECT WE DID WITH ACLU. I'M SPEAKING REALLY FAST, I FEEL LIKE, [LAUGHTER] BUT.

THERE'S A LOT OF SLIDES. YEAH. YOU HAVE YOUR WORK ON YOUR WEBSITE.

I THINK WE'VE ALL LOOKED AT IT, OR AT LEAST I HAVE, AND IT'S PHENOMENAL.

SO IF WE GET TO SOME QUESTIONS, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

YEAH. PLEASE, PLEASE. SORRY TO INTERRUPT. YEAH.

SO ONE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARTESIA BOULEVARD AND A LOT OF THE PLACES THAT YOU DESCRIBED HERE IS VERY NARROW SIDEWALKS AND NOT A LOT OF OPEN SPACE.

SO HAVE YOU HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO WALK OR DRIVE DOWN ARTESIA BOULEVARD, THE AACAP AREA? AND HAVE YOU IDENTIFIED, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF ART YOU THINK YOU'D BE SUGGESTING FOR THE AREA? WE HAVE TO BE TOTALLY HONEST. WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN INTO A FULL STRATEGIC DEEP DIVE YET.

WE'VE STILL BEEN IN CONTRACT PHASES, AND WE HAVE SPENT SOME TIME IN THE AREA.

WE'VE TALKED WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ABOUT SOME OF THE GOALS. WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE AACAP PLAN.

THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME POINTS IN THAT PLAN THAT OUTLINE POTENTIAL AREAS AND GATEWAYS FOR PUBLIC ART.

BUT THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS WE'LL ASSESS ONCE WE REALLY DIVE INTO OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS.

AND THAT PROCESS INCLUDES I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO ACTUALLY WE'LL BE GOING INTO BUSINESSES AND ASKING BOTH EMPLOYEES, BUSINESS OWNERS HOW ARE PEOPLE USING THE SIDEWALK? HOW DO YOU SEE HOW DO HOW DO PEOPLE USE YOUR SPACE? SO I WOULD IMAGINE IT'S A COMBINATION OF EVERYTHING FROM MURALS.

I KNOW WE WERE TALKING, ENVISIONING POTENTIALLY SOME LARGE GATEWAY PIECES ON THE ENDS.

I COULD DEFINITELY SEE AND I THINK SOME SORT OF, LIKE, BENCHES AND SORT OF LIKE SMALLER, ACTIVE, ENGAGING PIECES THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE AND TOUCH AND SORT OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, SORT OF PLAY WITH FOR, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD. BUT YEAH, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO THAT DEEP DIVE YET.

ALL RIGHT. I WANTED TO COMMEND STAFF ELIZABETH AND JACK.

I SEE IN THE STAFF REPORT. THIS WENT TO THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION.

THEY COULDN'T AGREE ON EXACTLY WHO TO CHOOSE.

[00:50:03]

AND. YEAH, YOUR WORK SEEMS PRETTY, PRETTY STRONG.

WHAT I'LL SAY IS THIS IS IF I ASSUME COUNCIL WILL MOVE FORWARD.

THERE'S MICKEY JOHNSON RIGHT THERE. SHE'S LIKE THE PRESIDENT OF THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BUSINESS ASSOCIATION AND EVERYTHING GOOD THAT COMES UP IN NORTH REDONDO MORE OR LESS EMANATES FROM HER. SO SHE'D BE A GREAT PERSON TO GET IN CONTACT WITH.

WE ALSO HAVE GRUB HOUSE IS GOING TO BE STARTING CONSTRUCTION SOON, HOPEFULLY ON ARTESIA AND MACKAY.

THEY'D BE A GOOD PERSON TO BE IN CONTACT WITH INVESTING ABOUT 3 TO $5 MILLION IN THAT PROJECT THERE MAJOR, MAJOR CONSTRUCTION TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE AS WELL.

BUT I ALSO WANTED TO ASK STAFF OR CITY MANAGER IS WHEN WE INITIALLY TALKED ABOUT ART ON ARTESIA, WE THOUGHT I FORGET WHO OPINED THIS, BUT IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT $1 MILLION IN PUBLIC ART AND SEEING THE FIGURES IN GLENDALE, $3 MILLION, BUT $1 MILLION IN PUBLIC ART TO REALLY MAKE AN IMPRESSION.

DO WE THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ADD IN THIS BUDGET ADDITIONAL MONEY TO TO THE ARTESIA ART FROM THE FROM THE GENERAL FUND, NOT FROM THE JOHN PARSONS FUND. THIS YEAR, WE'RE FULLY FULLY SUBSCRIBED IN THE FUND CURRENTLY.

WE WILL HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITY, HOPEFULLY OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS WITH THE FUND TO SEE SOME REVENUE INCREASE GROWTH TO HELP FURTHER SUPPORT THESE EFFORTS.

ALWAYS THE OTHER DISCRETIONARY SOURCES ARE AVAILABLE TO US FOR CONSIDERATION.

BUT UNTIL WE GET GOING, THAT'S, I THINK, THE BEAUTY OF THIS PLAN.

WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF INSTALLATIONS AS AS PART OF IT, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A PLAN FOR MORE AS, AS WE FUND MORE. AND I DO BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE WE'LL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.

AND THAT'S WHAT END PLAN REFERS TO HERE. YES.

PLANNING FOR FUTURE STUFF. OUR SCOPE, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IS WE WILL BE PLANNING BOTH FOR THAT INITIAL $400,000 BUDGET AND HOW TO STRATEGICALLY MAXIMIZE THOSE DOLLARS, BUT ALSO TO BE A LITTLE MORE FORWARD LOOKING, NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, FOR A POTENTIAL PHASE B, PHASE C, LIKE. SO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THIS AS HOW CAN WE NOT JUST DELIVER JUST THIS FIRST STAGE, BUT POTENTIALLY HOW WE CAN LAYER ON THAT INTO THE FUTURE? AWESOME. COOL. SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

CAN YOU PUT UP THE PHASES? SLIDE THE TASKS. HOW LONG DO YOU FORESEE EACH OF THESE TASKS TAKING? I THINK WE PUT TOGETHER A TIMELINE THAT WE SHARED WITH STAFF.

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT SORT OF TIMELINE. YOU KNOW, THAT IS THAT FIRST EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT FOR US TO BUILD OUR REAL STRATEGIC PLAN.

I'M IMAGINING 3 TO 4 MONTHS. AND THAT'S AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT'S EXISTING NOT JUST IN THE ARTESIA PLAN, BUT WHAT'S EXISTING THROUGH THE CITY OF REDONDO.

WHO ARE THE BUSINESS STAKEHOLDERS WE WANT TO TALK TO? WHO ARE THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS? THIS IS OUR TARGET LIST.

IF WE WANT TO START SPEAKING TO THAT SORT OF TASK TWO OF VISIONING AND ENGAGEMENT FOR US, IT'S REALLY OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND BUILDING OUT A REALLY STRONG PLAN.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A COUPLE MORE MONTHS BECAUSE, AGAIN, IT'S EVERY COMMUNITY GROUP WE TALK TO, EVERY STAKEHOLDER WE TALK TO. THERE'S ALWAYS COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI SUGGESTS, TALK TO SOMEBODY, THEN THAT PERSON SHOULD JUST TALK TO SOMEBODY ELSE. AND WE TRY NOT WE TRY TO REALLY NOT LEAVE ANY STONE UNTURNED BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO GET GOOD ADVICE OR GOOD FEEDBACK OR GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

IT'S JUST THAT WHEN WE'RE COMING BACK, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE FEELS LIKE THEY'VE BEEN HEARD, OR EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED, THAT WE'VE SPOKEN TO THEM. AND SO THEY CAN SAY LIKE, OH YEAH, WE TALKED TO THOSE GUYS, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FEEDBACK FROM THEM. WE LIKED THE WORK THEY'RE DOING, SO WE WANT TO REALLY PUT THE TIME INTO THAT SO THAT ONCE WE HAVE THAT CONCRETE PLAN, THAT STRATEGY OF THESE ARE THE SIX LOCATIONS, THESE ARE HOW WE'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE THE BUDGETS.

THESE ARE THE TYPOLOGIES FOR EACH OF THOSE LOCATIONS.

THIS IS THE METHODOLOGY WE'RE GOING TO TAKE TO SELECT ARTISTS, WHETHER THEY'RE LOCAL, WHETHER THEY'RE REGIONAL, WHETHER THEY'RE INTERNATIONAL. SO THAT WE'RE REALLY LIKE ONCE WE START GOING WE HAVE A DOCUMENT WE CAN REFER BACK TO THAT LIKE HAS BEEN VETTED, THE COUNCIL'S APPROVED ARTS COMMISSION'S APPROVED.

AND THEN LIKE STAKEHOLDERS HAVE LIKE LOOKED AT AND SEEN.

SO ARTIST SELECTION GENERALLY ANOTHER 2 OR 3 MONTHS.

AND AGAIN, SOMETIMES IN OUR EXPERIENCE WITH CITIES, WE CAN MOVE FASTER THAN SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, THEN ARTS COMMISSION APPROVAL, YOU KNOW, AND THEN CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL.

SO A LOT OF TIMES IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE GET CALLS FROM DEVELOPERS, WE NEED ARTWORK DELIVERED IN A PLAN IN LIKE THREE WEEKS.

SO, LIKE, WE CAN WORK AS QUICKLY OR AS SLOWLY AS NEEDED.

BUT YEAH, AGAIN, EVEN THE DIFFERENT INSTALLATIONS, THOSE WILL BE TIMED WITH ANY CONSTRUCTION CHANGES.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS AS A SEVERAL YEAR PROCESS.

[00:55:01]

YEAH ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST PLOPPING ONE THING DOWN.

WHATEVER'S ON ONE END HAS TO SORT OF WORK. IDEALLY WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S HAPPENING.

SO IF WE HAVE ONE GATEWAY PIECE, NOT THE THING THAT THEY HAVE TO LOOK THE SAME OR BE PAINTED THE SAME OR FROM THE SAME ARTIST, BUT IDEALLY, AGAIN, IT'S LIKE DESIGNING A LANDSCAPE FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD OR ARCHITECTURE FOR A CAMPUS.

YOU WANT THINGS TO SORT OF WORK TOGETHER. SO THERE'S A LOT OF, FOR A LOT OF STRATEGIC PLANNING GOES INTO HOW ARE THESE THINGS GOING TO WORK? IF WE'RE GOING TO SPEND $400,000, WE WANT TO SPEND IT EFFECTIVELY.

WE DON'T WANT TO JUST LIKE, OH, WE'LL JUST DO THAT. THAT'S 200. THIS IS 50, RIGHT? I UNDERSTAND THAT. SO IT'S AND THEN ELIZABETH OR JACK.

SO THEY COME UP WITH A STRATEGIC PLAN AND THEY DRAFT THE RFP.

YES. AND WHO APPROVES IT? DO THEY APPROVE IT? AND I MEAN, DO THEY HAVE PROCESS. SO THEY WILL HELP. THEY WILL DRAFT THE RFP OR CALL FOR ARTISTS.

WE WILL THEN REVIEW IT AS STAFF AND PRESENT IT TO THE COMMISSION FOR FINAL APPROVAL AND RELEASE.

SO WE WILL JUST NEED TO.

IT'S JUST. THAT'S NOT THE CURRENT PLAN. BUT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT INSTALLATION WILL COME BACK TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YES. WE WILL BRING BACK THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO COUNCIL FOR, FOR CERTAINLY FOR REVIEW AS IT'S FINALIZED. I THINK THAT'S CALLED FOR BY THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.

I'M NOT ASKING FOR MICROMANAGEMENT. I'M ASKING, WHAT'S THE PLAN? YEAH, NO. YOU'LL SEE. THE FULL PLAN THAT. YEAH, YOU'LL SEE THE FULL PLAN WHEN IT'S WHEN IT'S DRAFTED.

WE CAN BE OVERLY BURDENSOME WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S AN ART CRITIC, RIGHT? RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION TO HELP ASSIST WITH THAT, THAT CRITIQUING. AND THAT'S WHY WE BROUGHT IN THE EXPERTS TO ASSIST STAFF.

SO YOU'LL SEE THE FINAL PLAN, AND THEN ULTIMATELY, YOU'LL SEE THE FINAL PROPOSED ART AGREEMENTS.

AND DO YOU REPRESENT THE CITY ON THE FINAL INSTALLATION OR IS? SUPPORT THE INSTALLATION, I BELIEVE, IS THE CONCEPT.

YEAH, THEY SUPPORT US. SO WE'LL BE COLLABORATING WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM.

YEAH. WE SEE OURSELVES AS LIKE THE PRODUCERS, LIKE, SO WE WILL, YOU KNOW AGAIN, THE CITY WILL HOLD CONTRACTS WITH THE ARTISTS, BUT IT'S OUR TASK TO MAKE SURE ARTISTS ARE STAYING ON BUDGET, DELIVERING ON TIME AND MAKING SURE THEY HAVE EVERYTHING ENGINEERED PROPERLY.

AND THERE WAS AN OPTION FOR MORE. WAS THAT A CUMULATIVE 550 OR IS THAT 550 MORE? 550 MORE ON TOP OF THE 450, CORRECT. AND WHEN DO WE EXERCISE THAT AT ANY POINT? WELL, CURRENTLY WE HAVE 450 ALLOCATED FROM THE JOHN PARSONS ART FUND.

HAS THE ABILITY TO ALLOCATE MORE MONEY TOWARDS THE PROJECT. MY QUESTION WAS MORE DO WE WAIT TILL WE GET THROUGH TASK FOUR ON THE FIRST 450, I THINK, AND THEN WE ALLOCATE MORE. CAN WE SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE IF WE GET.

MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE WE WOULD WANT TO AT LEAST GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE WE'VE ENCUMBERED THE FULL $405,000 FOR PROJECT INSTALLATION.

AND I'M GUESSING BASED ON THE TIMING AND LOOKING AT THE CONTRACT THAT WILL LIKELY BE DISCUSSING POTENTIALLY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL FUNDS AS PART OF THE 26-27 FISCAL YEAR PROPOSED BUDGET, WHICH IS ABOUT WHEN WE SHOULD HAVE A PRETTY GOOD SENSE OF WHAT THE ARTIST AGREEMENT COSTS AND INSTALLATION NUMBERS LOOK LIKE.

AND WHEN YOU WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN, DO YOU KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE MAY BE UP TO $550,000 MORE SO THAT YOU'RE PLANNING FOR THE BIGGER ONE? OR DO YOU JUST DO WHAT. WHAT'S OUR SCOPE INCLUDES SORT OF A PHASE A I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE TECHNICALLY TITLED, BUT SORT OF LIKE IN OUR HEAD, A PHASE A, WHICH IS WHAT'S ALLOCATED RIGHT NOW, A POTENTIAL PHASE B OF THAT ADDITIONAL 500.

AND THEN HONESTLY, EVEN A POTENTIAL PHASE C LOOKING EVEN FORWARD.

I UNDERSTAND. BUT WHEN YOU COME UP WITH THAT VISIONING AND ENGAGEMENT AT THE END OF TASK TWO AND YOU COME UP WITH THE STRATEGY, IS THAT BUILT JUST TO THE 400, 5000 DOLLARS. WILL BE 400 PHASE A, PHASE B, AND PHASE.

OUR STRATEGY WILL INCLUDE LIKE SO. SO THE STRATEGY UP FRONT WILL SAY PHASE A.

PHASE B OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS. SORRY. OKAY, THANKS.

LET'S SEE. ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS? COUNCILMEMBER BEHRENDT.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. WHEN WILL THE COUNCIL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN ON PROPOSED LOCATIONS FOR ART INSTALLATIONS? I THINK THAT'S WHEN WE COME BACK WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

SO YOU SEE WHERE THE PROPOSED LOCATIONS ARE, AND YOU CAN PROVIDE YOUR FEEDBACK AT THAT TIME AND LISTEN TO THE FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED FROM THE COMMUNITY AS WELL, TO SEE WHY THOSE LOCATIONS WERE SELECTED.

SO I'LL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE ALL THE WORK THEY'VE DONE TO DATE AND WHY THAT STRATEGIC PLAN HAS IDENTIFIED THOSE SPACES FOR ART.

OKAY. AND IT WOULD BE AT THAT TIME THAT CITY COUNCIL WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHETHER THEY WANT TO APPROVE THOSE LOCATIONS. AND SO THERE'LL BE A NUMBER

[01:00:07]

THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. YOU CAN SIT DOWN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. WOULD ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL AT THIS TIME? WE HAVE A CARD. OH, WE HAVE A CARD. MICKEY JOHNSON.

THANK YOU. I AM JUST HERE TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM AND TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU.

AND OUR BBA IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT BEAUTIFYING ARTESIA BOULEVARD AND THE AREA.

SO YOU HAVE OUR FULL SUPPORT. PLUS YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT MAKES THINGS HAPPEN UP THERE, IT SOUNDS LIKE.

HELLO, THIS IS ANDY PORKCHOP AGAIN. I SUPPORT THE ART, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW I'M AN ARTIST.

ALSO I'M NOT A GREAT SINGER BECAUSE WHEN I SING, YOU KNOW, THE ROOM GOES EMPTY.

BUT I LIKE ART. MY DAUGHTER IS A GREAT ARTIST, SO IF YOU NEED ANY ARTWORK DONE, WE ARE HERE.

IT WAS GREAT PRESENTATION. I ALSO LEARNED A GOOD PHRASE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATION.

ANYWAY, THIS IS JUST FOR ME TO LEARN. ANYWAY, I'M FOR THIS PROJECT AND WHEN THESE PEOPLE.

I THINK THIS IS FOR BRINGING IN MORE BUSINESS AND PEOPLE, I THINK.

BUT BESIDES THE ART INSTALLATION AND THE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATION ONE BAD THING I WANT TO TELL YOU THIS ARTESIA BOULEVARD IS VERY CLOSE TO THE GALLERIA.

I DON'T KNOW IF I PRONOUNCE IT RIGHT, YOU KNOW.

SO. AND THAT PLACE HAS PARKING. PLENTY OF PARKING.

NOT LIKE THE THE MALLS GOING VERY GOOD NOWADAYS.

BUT MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE OPPOSE WHAT GOES AROUND, YOU KNOW, ON ARTESIA BOULEVARD.

HAWTHORNE BOULEVARD, YOU KNOW, HITTING THE MALL AND THE REDONDO BEACH ART AND PERFORMING CENTER.

SO THAT WOULD BE BRINGING IN MORE PEOPLE WITH MONEY.

ANYWAY. SO A GREAT PROJECT. I LIKE ARTS, YOU KNOW, MURALS, PAINTINGS I HAVE PAINTBRUSH, I HAVE PAINT, I HAVE SLEDGEHAMMERS. SO ANY ART I CAN DO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM? ANYONE ONLINE? THERE ARE NO HANDS RAISED ON ZOOM AND THERE ARE NO ECOMMENTS.

ALL RIGHT. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH LBP CONSULTING FOR CONSULTING SERVICES TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE ART, PUBLIC ART, PLACEMAKING, PLACE KEEPING PLAN FOR THE MANAGEMENT, INSTALLATION, PUBLIC ART PROJECTS ALONG ARTESIA BOULEVARD FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $45,000. SECOND OKAY MOTION AND SECOND, ALL FOR.

AYE. ANYONE OPPOSED. OKAY. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT PRESENTATION AND ALL THE WORK.

LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE ART. [APPLAUSE] OKAY, LET'S SEE ANY CITY MANAGER ITEMS. YEAH, JUST A COUPLE.

[O. CITY MANAGER ITEMS]

SO YOU WILL HAVE THE PROPOSED 25-26 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET AT THE END OF THIS WEEK.

YOU WILL HAVE A RECEIVE AND FILE PRESENTATION, A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE BUDGET AS PART OF YOUR MAY 20TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

THAT WILL NOT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY HAVE CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOG ON IT.

JUST REALLY PROVIDE A DOWNLOAD ON WHERE WE'RE AT.

THEN WE WILL EMBARK ON OUR THREE CONSECUTIVE HEARINGS JUNE 3RD, I BELIEVE IT IS JUNE 10TH AND THEN JUNE 17TH FOR FORMAL HEARING DELIBERATION.

THAT'S ALSO WHEN WE WILL INITIATE AND BEGIN TO DEPOSIT FOR YOU OUR VARIOUS BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS.

SO YOUR FIRST BATCH OF BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS WILL BE PART OF YOUR JUNE 3RD AGENDA PACKET.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING TO EXPECT FOR MAY 20TH, BUT RATHER THE FIRST HEARING DISCUSSION ON JUNE 3RD.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS ABOUT OUR FISCAL TRANSPARENCY, ALL OF OUR ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORTS ARE FOUND ON OUR FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT WEB PAGE. ALL OF OUR COMPLETED AFFAIRS ARE THERE.

OUR BUDGET DOCUMENTS ARE IN THE BOTH ON THE CITY'S MAIN HOME PAGE, WHERE YOU SEE BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS THOSE THROUGH THE FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT WEBSITE.

SO FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED, THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE ALL POSTED THERE.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. OKAY. NOW WE'RE GOING TO ADD 300 BRR'S.

[01:05:05]

LET'S SEE. REFERRALS TO STAFF. I HAVE NONE. I HAVE NONE.

[Q. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REFERRALS TO STAFF]

IT'S JUST ONE. BUT A BRR FOR A SENSORY ROOM AS A POTENTIAL ADDITION TO OUR LIBRARY.

I DID SPEAK WITH DIRECTOR VINKE ON THIS AND I CAN GIVE MORE DETAILS ON THAT.

A SENSORY ROOM SENSORY? YES. IT'S NOT CENTURY.

NOPE. NOT CENTURY ROOM? NOPE. OKAY. YES. DAYNA DID GIVE ME A HEADS UP ON THAT.

SO I THINK WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS, AND WE CAN PROVIDE THAT.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI. ALL RIGHT, SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A REFERRAL THAT WE AND MAYBE THIS COMES BACK.

WELL, THIS COULD BE A STRATEGIC PLANNING ITEM, BUT IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO ADDRESS IS DOING WHAT WE DID WITH REGARD TO SMOKE SHOPS, LIMITING THE NUMBER, POTENTIALLY AN URGENCY ORDINANCE TO IMPOSE A MORATORIUM ON LIQUOR SHOPS, TAKEOUT LIQUOR SHOPS AND OTHER SHOPS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY UNDESIRABLE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP ECONOMICALLY IN A PARTICULAR AREA. SO WHAT OUR OPTIONS COULD BE, MAY I? YEAH. FRIENDLY AMENDMENT MAYBE TO THIS. ABSOLUTELY.

THAT DISCUSSION WOULD HAPPEN AFTER WE GET THROUGH.

YES. YES YEAH. THIS ISN'T SUPER URGENT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE NEED TO VISIT.

THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE MET FOR A CUP FOR A LIQUOR SHOP.

YEAH. WE CAN INTRODUCE THIS AS PART OF OUR BROADER REGULATORY FRAMEWORK CONVERSATION.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT COUNCIL HAS MADE CLEAR IS LOOKING AT IDENTIFYING PREFERRED BUSINESS USES AND THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK ASSOCIATED WITH PERMITTING FOR THOSE FUNCTIONS.

CLEARLY, WITH THE COUNCIL'S RECENT DIRECTION AS IT PERTAINS TO SMOKE SHOPS AND SOME OTHER TOBACCO RELATED CONCEPTS, WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT CREATING ADDITIONAL REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR THOSE BUSINESSES THAT WE THINK ARE PERHAPS AT A SATURATION POINT IN THE COMMUNITY OR CREATE OTHER UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. SO I THINK WE CAN BRING THIS, THIS CONCEPT TO YOU FAIRLY SOON.

AND BUT IN DUE TIME, MEANING GENERAL PLAN, PHASE TWO, SMOKE SHOP ORDINANCE, ETC., WE'VE GOT A LOT TO DO, INCLUDING, IN FACT, ON THAT FRONT.

CONVERSATION. SO I WILL SECOND THAT. BUT CAN I JUST CLARIFY, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD COME BACK WHEN WE DISCUSS THE BROADER NOT GENERAL PLAN, BUT AS WE'RE ASSIGNING CONDITIONS TO CERTAIN BUSINESSES LIKE, YOU KNOW, ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW OR CUP LIKE THAT COULD BE JUST LOOPED INTO THAT AND THEN WE CAN DECIDE IF WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IT.

THAT'S THE IDEA. THAT'S THE KIND OF TRIAGING THAT WE WANT TO DO IN OUR MUNI CODE IS WHAT WHAT BUSINESSES REQUIRE A MORE FORMAL CONSTRUCT, WHAT BUSINESSES PERHAPS MIGHT BE MORE OF A BUY WRITE TYPE USE THAT WOULD HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT.

SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD RESOLVE THOSE ISSUES.

PERFECT. YES. SO I SECOND THAT. MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL FOR. AYE. OKAY. IS THAT IT? THAT'S IT. COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT.
