IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO WHETHER WE CAN PROVIDE A GOOD SAILING ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM TO PRACTICE FOR THE ACTUAL EVENTS THAT ARE GOING ON, SO. IT'S UP TO THEIR METEOROLOGIST AND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE CABRILLO AREA FOR PRACTICE. UM, ON THAT NOTE, UM, YOU KNOW, I'M CONTEMPLATING TURNING THAT COMMITTEE INTO MORE OF A MAJOR EVENTS COMMITTEE, BECAUSE OF THE NEXT THING THAT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU IS, WE'VE BEEN APPROACH BY THE LA GALAXY TO EXPLORE SETTING UP A WORLD CUP WATCH SITE IN SEASIDE LAGOON. YAY. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE COMING DOWN HERE TO VISIT AND LOOK AROUND.
TURNS OUT THE CEO ACTUALLY LIVES HERE IN DISTRICT 2 IN REDONDO BEACH.
WHILE WE WERE OUT ON THE WATER TODAY I DID NOTE THAT OUR SHARK BUOY HAS BEEN DEPLOYED WHICH WAS ADVOCATE BY THE HARBOR COMMISSION, SO, IT'S GLAD TO SEE THAT OUT THERE. ON THURSDAY WE'VE BEEN APPROACH BY A COUPLE OF GENTLEMEN WHO WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP A WATERPOLO COURT IN THE HARBOR IN THE OPEN WATERS OF THE HARBOR. UH. SO, WE'RE GOING TO GO AROUND ON THE HARBOR PETROL BOAT AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE THINKING.
WHERE THEY'RE THINKING OF DOING THAT. AND THEN FINALLY, UM, THERE WAS A LITTLE HICK UP WITH THE SEA BASS GROWTH FACILITY, BUT I THINK WE'RE ALL.
FOR US AS SOON AS WE PUT THAT THING IN THE WATER, SO, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF WHAT YOU GUYS MEAN PUSHING IT'S MOVING FORWARD, SO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THANKS. THAT'S HOW I HAD FOR THE NIGHT.
THANKS MAYOR JIM. ALL RIGHT, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK.
HE JUST STOLE HALF ABOUT OF THE LIAISON REPORT.
WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE A WHILE LONGER HERE.
OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE. UM, LET'S SEE, DO WE HAVE ANY ECOMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? THERE ARE NOT ECOMMENTS. OKAY, NO 0EX PARTE, NO PUBLIC HEARING, ITEMS ARE NON.
[L. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION]
LITTLE UPDATE FOR YOU, BOTH OF, NORMALLY WE HAVE ONE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE HARBOR PATROL, IN THIS CASE OUR NEW HARBOR MASTER CURT MAHONEY AND THEN SARGENT [INAUDIBLE] FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.[00:05:01]
THEY LIKE TO GO OVER STATS. WHAT THEY'VE BEEN UP TO, UM, YOU KNOW, EVERY PREVENTATIVE ACTION THAT THEY NEED TO DO, BUT IN EACH INSTANCE THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TONIGHT ON A LAST MINUTE BASIS, SO I REQUEST THAT THIS GROUP JUST MAKE A MOTION AND, UH, CHOOSE TO PUSH THIS TO A FUTURE AGENDA. I DON'T WANT TO BE SPECIFIC, BECAUSE I WANT TO WORK WITH THESE TOO INDIVIDUALS.AND WILL FILL IT IN WHERE APPROPRIATE. IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVE. SECOND. SECOND. ANY OBJECTIONS? HEARING NON.
MOTION PASSES. CAN I JUST DO A NOTE OF DISCUSSION.
SURE. THEY COULD CONSIDER CURT WRITES THE, HARBOR MASTER MAHONEY WRITES THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER.
SURE. YOU KNOW, THEY NEED TO INFORM BOATERS ON, JUST A THOUGHT.
THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA. ESPECIALLY IF THEY CAN'T MAKE IT BACK FOR A FEW MONTHS.
THERE WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HAPPENING DURING THE SUMMER.
GOOD NOTE. ANYWAY, THANKS. I'LL TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT.
OKAY, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. NOW, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO LIAISON'S REPORT.
[M. ITEMS FROM STAFF]
ALL RIGHT. LET ME SKIP AROUND HERE. LET'S SEE HERE.SO THE BOAT LAUNCH PROJECTS, SO AGAIN. AS THIS GROUP KNOWS, BUT MAYBE NOT FOR PEOPLE LISTENING HOME.
WHERE ARE UNDERTAKING THE NEW PUBLIC BOAT LAUNCH ON MOLE D.
THE STUDIES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. WE'VE GONE THROUGH A COUPLE ROUNDS OF COMMENTS IN WITH OUR EXPERTS.
THE RESULTS ARE THERE, BUT WE JUST WANT TO FIND, TONE THE LANGUAGE. WE DO ANTICÍPATE, UM, COORDINATING WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE IN LATE JULY AND WE DO ANTICIPATE THE PUBLIC OUTREACH PORTION OF THIS PROJECT HAPPENING IN LATE AUGUST.
SO REALLY TURNING INTO THE PUBLIC FACING ELEMENT OF THE PROJECT IN THEN NEXT MONTH OR SO.
THE BREAKWATER REPAIR PROJECT IS STILL OCCURRING; THE US ARMY CONNECTED AN RFP.
YOU KNOW WORK IS SUPPOSED TO START, YOU KNOW, AROUND AUGUST.
I THINK THEY'RE A LITTLE. I THINK THEY'RE A FEW MONTHS BEHIND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, BUT THEY HAVE GIVEN US AN UPDATE ON SCHEDULE JUST YET. THEY'RE HAVING A SELECTED CONTRACTOR AT THE END OF AUGUST. WE DO PLAN TO HAVE A MEETING WITH KING HARBOR YACHT CLUB, WITH SOME OF THE MOON, UH, USERS OF THE MOON STONE PARK.
JUST TO KIND OF COORDINATE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AROUND SPECIAL EVENTS.
UM, WHAT LOADING AREAS ARE ACTUALLY NEED? HOW THAT EFFECTS EVERY DAY OPERATIONS IN THOSE TWO AREAS? THAT WILL HAPPEN, OBVIOUSLY AFTER THEY GET SELECTED IN AUGUST, THE CONTRACTOR, BUT BEFORE WORK STARTS.
SO WE'RE NOT REALLY SURE ON THE SCHEDULE JUST YET, BUT WELL, MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS BEFORE THEY GET GOING. UM, THE MAYOR ALLOTTED TO THIS, BUT THE SEA BASS GROW-OUT PAN.
FABRICATION IS WELL UNDER WAY. WE EXPECT INSTALLATION TO HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT.
THIS IS GREAT NEWS. UM, IN TERMS OF LEASES. THERE'S A LOT OF NEGOCIACIONES HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A LOT OF RENEWALS, UM, AND OCCUPYING EMPTY SPACE UP IN THE PIER PLAZA OFFICE COMPLEX CURRENTLY SITS AROUND 10% VACANCY, WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING AROUND 7 OR 6% IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.
UM, I THINK I MENTIONED THIS LAST TIME, BUT THE OLD DINGHY DELI SITE IS OUT OF BUSINESS AND WE'RE BRINGING ON SCHOLB BREWERY, THEIR BASED OUT OF TORRANCE. THIS WILL BE THEIR SECOND LOCATION.
AND THEN WE HAVE AN ONGOING LEASE STRATEGY STUDY SESSION ESSENTIALLY GOING FORWARD TO CLOSE SESSION.
IT WAS LAST TUESDAY, IT'LL BE TOMORROW AS WELL.
IT'LL PROBABLY KEEP HAPPENING ON CLOSE SESSION THROUGH AUGUST WHILE WE CAN OF RESOLVED JUST LIST OF PRIORITIES, WHEN IT COMES TO JOE'S CRAB SHACK AND THE FUN FACTORY SPACE, KINCAID, PAD 2, MAISON RIZ.
A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY OUT THERE AND WE JUST NEED TO GET A SEQUENCE OF EVENTS, UM, TO GIVE US OUR MARCHING ORDERS, IF YOU WILL. SO THAT INCLUDES MY DIRECTORS REPORT, OF COURSE SOME HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
THE NEXT MEETING AUGUST IS SCHEDULE FOR AUGUST 11TH.
OBVIOUSLY WILL SHOOT TO HAVE OUR REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT RETURN, I'M HOPEFULLY THAT THEY CAN DO SO. UM, AND THEN WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF ENTITLEMENTS THAT ARE IN WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
THOSE MIGHT BE READY, MAY NOT BE. SO WE SHOULD KEEP OUR AGENDA FREE FOR THAT.
AND THEN I DO THINK I'M GOING TO BRING OUR LEASING AGENT TO JUST TALK ALL THING LEASES.
[00:10:04]
SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND, AND WE ARE STILL IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, SO VACATIONS ARE OBVIOUSLY HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK, UM, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A MEETING, SO WITH THAT, OPENED ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.ANYTHING FROM YOU LISA? NOT FROM ME. LEE? NOTHING FROM ME.
AS WE'RE GOING THIS WAY MAY AS WELL DO IT. UM, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE UM SUBCOMMITTEE FOR THE BOAT LAUNCH. I AM ON IT. YEP. I HAVE TWO MORE MEETINGS.
YEAH. I THINK IT WOULD BEHOOVE THIS GROUP TO REPLACE ME, AS MUCH AS I WOULD LOVE TO BE ON IT.
OKAY. UM, MAYBE COMMISSIONER BAUER WANTS TO BE THE PERMANENT REPLACEMENT, WHO KNOWS.
OKAY. THAT'S ALL. I HAD. UM. YOU KNOW, JUST A COMMENT ON THAT.
I THINK HE DID, AND IF WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE ONE MEETING END OF JULY.
WOULD YOU BE KIND OF A LAME DUCK IN THAT MEETING? I WAS THE ONE OF THE ONES WHO WANTED YOU ON THAT COMMISSION.
YEAH. I THINK IT MIGHT BE BETTER IF WE HAD THE ALTERNATE THERE AS WELL, SO THAT.
YOU CAN'T, BROWN ACT. HE'S UP TO SPEED. WHAT DO YOU THINK? OH, WE CAN'T BECAUSE OF. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN DO THAT. CAN'T DO THAT. WE CAN'T HAVE FOUR PEOPLE ON THERE. CAN'T HAVE FOUR. YOU COULD, BECAUSE HE IS THE EXISTING ALTERNATE YOU COULD CHOOSE TO STEP DOWN AND JUST LET HIM COME IN FOR THAT ONE MEETING.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE DISCUSSION OF, IS HE THE PERMANENT REPLACEMENT OR DO YOU WANT TO CHOOSE SOMEBODY ELSE? THAT COULD BE THE BRIDGE. YEAH. OKAY. RIGHT NOW, I THINK I'LL JUST STAY ON AND WE'LL DEAL WITH THIS IN AUGUST, BUT IF IT COULD BE ON THE AGENDA THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
FOR SURE. YEAH, I'LL GO AHEAD AND GO TO THE JULY MEETING.
OKAY. OKAY. UM ROGER, ANYTHING ELSE? YEAH. I HAD SOME QUESTIONS FOR OUR HARBOR MASTER, BUT OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S OVERTAKEN BY EVENTS. I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BOAT INSPECTIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
ON THE OTHER AND WE TALKED VARIOUS TIMES ABOUT, DO WE REALLY WANT INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK BECOMING A ROW OF BREWERIES? UM, ONE TIME WE HAD TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW WE DEAL WITH A WANDER-IN BEER THERE AND CAN WE HAVE A BEER GO UPSTAIRS. UM, I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD BUT THE STATE NOW AS THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT.
I HEARD THAT. AND A COUPLE CITIES HAVE DONE THAT.
SHOULD WE DO THAT? SO. SHOULD WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT WE NOW HAVE A ROW OF BREWERIES THERE? YEAH, NO, IT'S GOOD IDEA. IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE TENANTS DOWN AT INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK ARE VERY INTERESTED IN.
I PUT THE BALL ON THEIR COURT TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY COULD BEST OF THOSE ABC REQUIREMENTS.
A LOT OF THEM HAVE TO DO WITH INGRESS, EGRESS AND ACCESS FOR MINORS, AND THERE'S A LOT OF ACCESS POINTS UP AND DOWN INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK, SO IN MY MIND WITHOUT WORKING THROUGH THIS YOU NEED TO INSTALL GATES AT EACH INGRESS-EGRESS WHICH COULD BE COSTLY, OR YOU NEED WOULD NEED TO EMPLOY MULTIPLE PEOPLE CHECKING IDS.
SO ONCE YOU'RE DOWN THERE YOU'RE GOOD, BUT YOU HAVE TO GET PASS THAT POINT OF ENTRY.
MAYBE THOSE REGULATIONS CHANGE WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT ZONE, BUT I'M PUTTING IT ON THEM TO FIGURE OUT, WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE, THEY CAN REPORT BACK TO ME, AND WHAT THEY'RE WILLING TO PAY FOR TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, RIGHT? BUT ISN'T THAT GOING TO HARM THE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT ALCOHOL RELATED.
IT COULD. LIKE ICE CREAM SHOPS AND. RIGHT, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH.
AND THEN ONCE WE HAVE THE ANSWERS, PROS AND CONS, WE CAN TAKE THAT POLICY DECISION TO CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO DEEM THE AREA AS "THE ENTERTAINMENT ZONE" AND WE WOULD HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROCESS TOO, RIGHT? RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW I ALWAYS WANT OYSTERS AND BEER AND ICE CREAM AND CHURROS, YOU KNOW, AFTER I'VE HAD A COUPLE BEERS. I MEAN I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT IT, JUST GENERALLY.
YEAH. BUT I'M OPENED TO AT LEAST LETTING THEM EXPLORE IT.
THE OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE IT ARE SANTA MONICA AND LONG BEACH? SANTA MONICA IS FAIRLY NEW, AND I HEARD OF LONG BEACH AS WELL, YEAH.
OKAY, YEAH. WELL, I'LL GO TAKE A LOOK AND SEE OTHERS DOING IT.
SAMPLE IT A LITTLE BIT. SAMPLE, YEAH, THAT'S IT, THANKS.
YOU'RE GOOD? ALL RIGHT. COMMISSION MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS.
[N. COMMISSION MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS]
[00:15:02]
I'VE HANDLED MINE. LISA, DO YOU HAVE ANY? LEE? NO. I THINK WE HAVE DONE IT. WOW, THIS IS MY WORLD RECORD, 15 MINUTES.[LAUGHTER] WELL, DO I HEAR A MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT? SO MOVED. SECOND. HEARING NO OBJECTS. THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU EVERYBODY. SEE YOU IN AUGUST. YEAH. WELL,
