[00:00:04]

HERE. COMMISSIONER MCCAULEY. HERE. COMMISSIONER ROWE. HERE.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM C, THE SALUTE OF THE FLAG.

WILL EVERYBODY PLEASE RISE? READY? BEGIN. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

OKAY, MOVING ON TO ITEM D, APPROVING THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA.

[D. APPROVE ORDER OF AGENDA]

[E. BLUE FOLDER ITEMS - ADDITIONAL BACK UP MATERIALS]

BECCA HAS PRINTED OUT SOME HARD COPIES OF THAT.

IT WAS UNDER PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND NON-AGENDA ITEMS. SO IT'S NOT IN A REFERENCE TO AN AGENDIZED TOPIC TONIGHT, BUT IT'S IN YOUR COMMISSION EMAIL.

AND WE HAVE A PRINTED COPY FOR YOU THIS EVENING.

DID YOU SEND THIS OUT TODAY? THE INDIVIDUAL EMAILED IT TO EACH COMMISSIONER ON THEIR COMMISSIONER REDONDO.ORG EMAIL.

WE'VE ADDED IT PHYSICALLY TO THE BLUE FOLDER, BUT SINCE IT CAME IN BETWEEN 2 AND 3 P.M.

YOU KNOW, WE ADDED IT TO THE AGENDA AND WE HAVE PHYSICAL COPIES HERE IF COMMISSIONER WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE AND FILE THOSE, THEN WE WILL HAND THOSE OUT. MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE.

I'LL SECOND IT. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

THANK YOU. THANKS.

OKAY, MOVING ON TO ITEM F, THE CONSENT CALENDAR.

[F. CONSENT CALENDAR]

SECOND. SOMEBODY SECONDED. I'LL SECOND. OKAY.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOVING ON TO ITEM G EXCLUDE CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS.

[G. EXCLUDED CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS]

THANK YOU. I DID NOT RECOGNIZE A PORTION OF THIS MINUTES AS ACTUALLY HAPPENING AT OUR MEETING.

IT WAS THE PART WHERE OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SPOKE, AND I HAD ASKED THE SERIES OF EXTENSIVE QUESTIONS, WHICH DIDN'T GET REFLECTED IN THE MINUTES. I SEE THAT COMMISSIONER LANG ALSO HAD ASKED SOME QUESTIONS.

HER NAME DIDN'T GET REFLECTED IN THE MINUTES, AND IT EVEN STARTS OFF IN L2, NO I'M FOCUSING ON L2 THAT THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, WIENER, OFFERED TO RESEARCH THE TOPIC AND RETURN TO THE COMMISSION WITH THE INFORMATION.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TWO PARAGRAPHS ABOVE IT, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY CONTEXT TO WHAT INFORMATION HE WAS COMING BACK TO.

THE PART THAT I ASKED, THE QUESTIONS, I THINK THE ANSWERS WERE PARTICULARLY RELEVANT FOR BOTH US AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY.

AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN IT CAME TIME TO COMMISSIONER GALASSI TO SPEAK, THE STYLE OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE MINUTES WERE CHANGED.

SO I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE EACH OF YOU TO TABLE THIS MINUTES TILL NEXT MEETING.

I AM GOING TO VOLUNTEER TO REWRITE THAT SECTION SO THAT IT IS MORE REFLECTIVE OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED DURING THE MEETINGS.

AND I'VE ALREADY RECRUITED COMMISSIONER LANG TO REVIEW MY LANGUAGE BEFORE IT ACTUALLY GETS PRESENTED BACK TO THE COMMISSION AS WELL AS THE LIAISON. SO THAT'S MY MOTION IS TO TABLE THIS UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING.

[00:05:04]

[H. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]

ISN'T THIS A PUBLIC PARTICIPATION THING? OKAY.

YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU AN EMAIL THAT WAS SUBMITTED THAT'S BEEN INCLUDED IN THE BLUE FOLDER AND ATTACHED TO ITEM H.

WOULD WE LIKE TO? SOMEBODY DO WE HAVE TO GIVE, LIKE A SYNOPSIS OF THE EMAIL OR IS THERE? YOU GET A COPY? I HAVE A COPY. I NEED A PEN. OH, YOU WANT A PEN? THANK YOU. IT'S ALREADY BEEN RECEIVED AND FILED.

SO SINCE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO SUMMARIZE, BUT YOU KNOW, WE CAN MOVE ON FROM HERE.

I BELIEVE THE INDIVIDUAL SAID THEY ARE HOPING TO ATTEND THE NEXT MEETING AND ADDRESS THIS TOPIC.

I THINK THEY JUST WANTED TO ALERT US TO THE FACT THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED IN ENGAGING THE COMMISSION.

DOES ANYBODY ON THE COMMISSION WISH TO MAKE A COMMENT REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR NON AGENDIZED ITEM.

SO I'VE ACTUALLY MET WITH HIM. AND BECAUSE COUNCILMAN OBAGI KIND OF HOOKED US TOGETHER.

I'VE SEEN HIM SPEAK AT THE COUNCIL MEETING. AND I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM REACHING OUT TO HIM ON THE HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF THAT STREET.

BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE A PROPOSED PATH OF HISTORY MARKER FOR THERE.

SO I'M HAPPY TO REACH OUT TO HIM. AND I'LL GO THROUGH DIRECTOR ORTA.

BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT SHE'S BEEN INVOLVED, OR AT LEAST THE PEOPLE IN THAT ASPECT OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICES HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THAT AS WELL.

THANK YOU. WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER ECOMMENTS.

ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK ON NON AGENDIZED ITEMS? NO, THERE'S NO OTHER ECOMMENTS. YES. OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM I, EX PARTE COMMUNICATION.

WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO DISCLOSE ANY INSTANCES OF EX PARTE COMMUNICATION? NO, I THINK THAT ONLY RELATES TO PUBLIC HEARINGS, THOUGH.

SO ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM J. THERE ARE NO PUBLIC HEARINGS TONIGHT.

MOVING ON TO ITEM K. ITEMS CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS AGENDAS.

WE HAVE NO ITEMS CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS AGENDAS TONIGHT.

OKAY. ITEM L, L1 DISCUSSION OF THE LIBRARY SUMMER READING PROGRAM.

[L. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION]

AND COME ON UP, LISA. THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.

HELLO. MY NAME IS LISA WINTER, AND I'M THE YOUTH SERVICES LIBRARIAN AT THE REDONDO BEACH PUBLIC LIBRARY SINCE MAY OF THIS YEAR.

I FIRST SHARED MY PLANS AND GOALS FOR OUR SUMMER READING PROGRAM BACK WITH THIS GROUP IN MAY.

I'VE RETURNED TODAY TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW. NOW THAT IT'S COMPLETED, JUST TO QUICKLY REVIEW, EVERY YEAR WE OFFER A SUMMER READING PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN, TEENS, AND ADULTS TO HELP FOSTER A LOVE OF READING TO PREVENT SUMMER SLIDE AND A LOSS OF READING SKILLS. THIS YEAR WE HOSTED A TEN WEEK PROGRAM FROM SATURDAY, JUNE 14TH THROUGH AUGUST 23RD.

MY TEAM BEGAN PREPARING FOR THIS PROGRAM IN JANUARY WITH BUDGETARY PLANNING, CREATING PROGRAMING, SELECTING MATERIALS AND INCENTIVES, DESIGNING READING LOGS, AND ESTABLISHING PARTNERSHIPS AND SENDING FLIERS TO THE SCHOOLS.

THE THEME THIS YEAR WAS LEVEL UP AT YOUR LIBRARY WITH A FOCUS ON GAMES AND PUZZLES, FOSTERING CREATIVITY, AND ENGAGING IN HANDS ON ACTIVITIES. THE COMMUNITY BEGAN SIGNING UP FOR THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM ON THE DAY OF OUR KICKOFF CARNIVAL AT THE MAIN LIBRARY, WHERE WE HAD A LARGE EVENT WITH GAMES AND ACTIVITIES.

THIS IS WHERE WE PARTNERED WITH THE CITY WITH THEIR VERY THEIR FIRST EVER JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION.

WE ALSO HAD COMMUNITY DEPARTMENTS THERE, INCLUDING THE REDONDO BEACH POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICES.

[00:10:01]

IF THEY HADN'T DONE SO AT THE CARNIVAL, AS WELL AS TO RECEIVE PRIZES, THE CHILDREN'S SUMMER READING PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED FOR PARTICIPANTS RANGING FROM INFANTS TO FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS. THEY WERE GIVEN TOTE BAGS AND READING LOGS TO TRACK THEIR READING IN 20 MINUTE INCREMENTS, AND RECEIVED PRIZES AND COMPLIMENTARY COUPONS FOR EVERY FIVE HOURS OF READING.

AT 25 HOURS THEY COMPLETED THEIR TRACKING SHEET AND EARNED A FREE BOOK AND AN INVITATION TO THE FINALE PROGRAM.

THE TEEN SUMMER READING PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED FOR PARTICIPANTS IN 6TH THROUGH 12TH GRADE.

THEY WERE GIVEN READING LOGS TO TRACK THEIR READING IN 30 MINUTE INCREMENTS, AND FOR EVERY TEN HOURS READ, THEY EARNED A PRIZE OF THEIR CHOOSING FROM A TREASURE CHEST OF PRIZES, AS WELL AS A COMPLIMENTARY FOOD COUPON FROM OUR SPONSORS.

AT 50 HOURS, THEY RECEIVED A FREE BOOK OF THEIR CHOOSING.

CHILDREN PRIZES INCLUDED MINI GAMES, JUMP ROPES, FRISBEES, AND RUBBER DUCKIES FOR BABIES.

TEEN PRIZES INCLUDED MULTICOLORED PENS AND HIGHLIGHTERS AND SNACKS, WHICH THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVED.

EACH PRIZE WAS PAIRED WITH A COUPON FROM ONE OF OUR MANY SPONSORS THAT INCLUDED ROCK AND BREWS, FRESH BROTHERS, RAISING CANE'S, IN-N-OUT, AND MORE.

I'VE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM SEVERAL FAMILIES WHO APPRECIATE OUR PRIZES AND HAVE COME FROM OTHER CITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR SUMMER READING PROGRAM.

THAT ALWAYS WARMS MY HEART. IN ADDITION, WE HELD AN OPPORTUNITY PRIZE DRAWING AT THE END OF THE SUMMER.

THE PRIMARY WAY FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS TO ENTER INTO THIS DRAWING WAS BY COMPLETING BOOK REVIEWS.

CHILDREN AND TEENS HAD A COMBINED TOTAL OF 387 REVIEWS SUBMITTED.

THE GRAND PRIZES INCLUDED PURCHASE TOYS AND GENEROUSLY DONATED GIFT CARDS, GAME TICKETS, AND MORE.

THE ADULT SUMMER READING CONSISTED OF PARTICIPANTS FILLING OUT BOOK REVIEWS AND TURNING THEM IN FOR A CHANCE OF WINNING A WEEKLY DRAWING FOR GIFT CARDS.

WE HAD 21 ADULT PROGRAMS, INCLUDING BOOK DISCUSSIONS, POETRY WORKSHOPS, AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, WITH 236 INDIVIDUALS IN ATTENDANCE. THE YOUTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT HAD 76 EVENTS THIS SUMMER, WITH A TOTAL OF 4,158 IN ATTENDANCE. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDED GUEST STORY TIMES, OUR REGULAR MONTHLY CRAFTS AND LEGO CLUBS AND MOVIE PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS A CHOOSE YOUR OWN ACTIVITY PROGRAM WHERE WE PRETEND PLAY MATERIALS AND BOARD GAMES AND STEM ACTIVITIES WERE PROVIDED.

WE ALSO HAD A BUBBLE PARTY AT NORTH, WITH 77 IN ATTENDANCE AND A GAME DAY AT MAIN WITH A LIFE SIZE BOARD GAME WITH OVER 60 INDIVIDUALS IN ATTENDANCE.

TEENS ENJOYED PROGRAMS LED BY OUR TEEN LIBRARIAN, INCLUDING AN INTERACTIVE MOVIE, ART PROGRAMS, AND A VIDEO GAME TOURNAMENT WITH 35 TEENS IN ATTENDANCE THAT WAS A VERY POPULAR ONE.

WE HELD TWO SCIENCE THEMED FINALE PARTIES IN AUGUST, ONE AT THE MAIN AND ONE AT THE NORTH BRANCH FOR CHILDREN WHO COMPLETED THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM ALONG WITH THEIR FAMILIES. ROUGHLY 115 INDIVIDUALS ATTENDED EACH ONE.

THIS YEAR, WE WERE VERY INTENTIONAL WITH OUR CHOICE IN THE FINALE PROGRAM, WE CHOSE A COMPANY CALLED SCIENCE HEROES TO HOST THE FINALES, WHICH INCLUDED HANDS ON EXPERIMENTS AND AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION.

WE APPRECIATED THAT IT APPEALED TO A VARIETY OF AGES.

WE PROMOTED OUR SUMMER READING PROGRAM THROUGH DIFFERENT CHANNELS, INCLUDING THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES.

FLIERS WERE PASSED TO THE SCHOOLS AND DISPLAYED IN OUR LIBRARIES.

THE SUMMER READING BANNER WAS DISPLAYED ON OUR PHYSICAL LIBRARY, AND INFORMATION WAS DISPENSED THROUGH OUR LIBRARY AND CITY NEWSLETTERS.

THIS YEAR, WE PARTICIPATED IN OUTREACH TO THE SCHOOLS AND SUMMER PROGRAMS. IN THE COMING YEAR, WE HOPE TO FURTHER INCREASE AWARENESS BY EXPLORING THE OPTION OF ISSUING A PRESS RELEASE AND EXPANDING OUTREACH TO ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS.

TRADITIONALLY, WE WOULD SEND SCHOOLS INFORMATION AND PROMOTIONAL SUMMER READING MATERIAL DIGITALLY.

THIS YEAR, I SOUGHT TO ELEVATE ENGAGEMENT BY SECURING OPPORTUNITIES TO ADDRESS STUDENTS DIRECTLY.

THIS INCLUDED ME REACHING OUT AND REQUESTING THE TIME AND SPACE TO ALLOW MY TEAM AND I TO SPEAK ABOUT SUMMER READING FACE TO FACE TO THE STUDENTS.

AS A RESULT, WE WERE WELCOME TO DO SUMMER READING, OUTREACH, AND LIBRARY VISITS ON TEN SEPARATE OCCASIONS THROUGHOUT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND AT VARIOUS SUMMER PROGRAMS. FROM THESE INITIATIVES ALONE, NEARLY 350 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED, AND IT GOT KIDS VERY EXCITED TO COME TO THE LIBRARY.

REGARDING OTHER STATISTICS, LOOKING BACK LAST YEAR, IN 2024, WE MANAGED A VERY SUCCESSFUL SUMMER READING PROGRAM WITH A TOTAL OF 2047 PARTICIPANTS. THIS YEAR WE SOUGHT TO REACH HIGHER WITH OUR GOALS.

OUR GOALS WERE 1,600 CHILDREN, 300 TEEN AND 300 ADULT PARTICIPANTS.

[00:15:06]

TO BREAK THINGS DOWN, WE HAD 1,868 CHILDREN PARTICIPANTS, 429 TEENS AND 393 ADULT PARTICIPANTS. I ATTRIBUTE THIS TO SO MANY THINGS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, OUTREACH AND MORE AWARENESS.

THE ENTHUSIASM AND THE HARD WORK OF OUR STAFF, OUR GROWING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SCHOOLS THAT IS STRENGTHENED BY OUR OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATION INVOLVING PROGRAMING AND READING LISTS, AND FINALLY THE SUPPORT OF OUR SPONSORS.

WITH THAT, I WISH TO HIGHLIGHT AND EXTEND OUR LIBRARY'S PROFOUND GRATITUDE TO THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY WHO CONSIDER OUR PROPOSAL AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH YEAR, WHOSE GENEROUS FUNDING THEY RECEIVE FROM BOOK SALES AND DONATIONS SUSTAINS OUR SUMMER READING PROGRAM, INCLUDING ACTIVITIES, MATERIALS, BOOKS AND PRIZES.

THEIR SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL TO OUR SUCCESS AND OUR ABILITY TO SERVE FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTARY I ACTUALLY AM A BIG LIBRARY FAN.

I PROBABLY WENT TO THE NORTH REDONDO LIBRARY SIX TIMES IN THE SUMMER, AND EVERY TIME I SAW KIDS COME IN WITH THEIR PARENTS EVERY TIME, AND THEY WOULD, YOUR VOLUNTEER WAS RIGHT THERE, RELATIVELY CLOSE TO THE FRONT DOOR.

ABSOLUTELY. AND THE KID HAD HIS TEN HOURS AND ONE I SAW A KID GET A LITTLE FRISBEE BECAUSE HE REACHED TEN HOURS.

I SAW THAT SIX OUT OF SIX TIMES. OH. THAT'S GREAT.

I LOVE THAT. AND THE KIDS WERE ENTHUSIASTIC AND THE PARENTS WERE, LIKE, ENGAGED.

AND I THOUGHT, THAT'S COMMUNITY RIGHT THERE THAT'S REALLY GOOD.

ABSOLUTELY. SO GOOD JOB. THANK YOU. WE FEEL THE SAME EXACT WAY.

WE APPRECIATE THAT. SO I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN THIS AS WELL AND PARTICIPATED IN ONE OF THE PRIOR YEARS.

SO HOW DOES THIS YEAR COMPARE TO LIKE LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE WITH THE NUMBER OF PROGRAMS YOU WERE ABLE TO PUT ON PARTICIPANTS AND FINISHERS AND THE YOUTH SERVICES ATTENDANCE? HOW DID THAT ALL COMPARE TO PRIOR YEARS? BECAUSE I KNOW YOUR GOALS HAVE BEEN MET AND EXCEEDED, BUT. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. WE'VE ALSO EXCEEDED THOSE STATISTICS THAT YOU MENTIONED.

LAST YEAR, THE SUBMITTED REVIEWS BY ALL AGES.

WE HAD, I THINK 380. 484 REVIEWS FINISHERS. LAST YEAR WE HAD 995. OH, NO. THAT WAS I'M SORRY. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME PARTICIPANTS.

AND ACTUALLY THIS YEAR, OUR FIRST TIME PARTICIPANTS RAISED TO 1,189.

AND I ATTRIBUTE THAT TO I THINK OUR OUTREACH TALKING TO THE STUDENTS FACE TO FACE, GETTING STUDENTS WHO MAY OTHERWISE NOT HAVE COME TO THE LIBRARY OR BEEN AWARE OF WHAT WE HAD. SO THAT WAS I THINK, A BIG DRIVING FORCE FOR GETTING KIDS INTO THE LIBRARY.

LET'S SEE. OH, YEAH. NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND TEEN FINISHERS WAS 465 LAST YEAR.

THIS YEAR WAS 614. SO WE DO SEE NUMBERS INCREASING IN VARIOUS AREAS.

OUR GOALS ARE ALWAYS TO ATTAIN HIGHER AND THIS YEAR WE DID.

AND DO YOU HAVE OVER 50, ALMOST 50% OF REVIEWS FROM ALL YOUR PARTICIPANTS, WHICH IS PHENOMENAL.

IS THERE A SECRET THAT YOU EMPLOY TO GET THAT MANY REVIEWS? DO YOU MEAN THE BOOK REVIEWS? YEAH. YEAH. SO IN THE TEENS ESPECIALLY, WE PLACE THE BOOK REVIEWS IN EACH ONE OF THE TOTE BAGS.

AND THEN WE ALSO DISPLAY THE REVIEWS WHERE THEY'RE VISIBLE.

SO WHEN KIDS FIRST COME INTO THE LIBRARY, THEY SEE IT AT THE REFERENCE DESK.

THEY CAN READ WHAT THEIR PEERS HAVE BEEN READING AND WRITING ABOUT.

SO I THINK THAT'S A GREAT WAY FOR STUDENTS TO BE MOTIVATED TO READ THEIR NEXT BOOK.

SO I THINK THAT'S A BIG DRAW FOR BOOK REVIEWS AS WELL.

AND EVERY TIME THEY DO A BOOK REVIEW, THEY GET AN OPPORTUNITY DRAWING TICKET FOR OUR GRAND PRIZE.

THANK YOU. I THINK IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE THAT ADULTS ARE GETTING MORE INVOLVED.

YES. RIGHT? BECAUSE TYPICALLY THESE PROGRAMS ARE ALWAYS GEARED TOWARDS THE CHILDREN AND THE TEENS AND YOU KNOW, AS, AS AN ADULT WHO HAS SPENT MORE TIME, UNFORTUNATELY, ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA I FOUND MYSELF READING MORE BECAUSE IT REALLY, YOU KNOW, IT'S A DISTRACTION.

IT TAKES YOU OUT OF WHAT'S GOING ON. AND I'M REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THAT THAT ALSO IS REFLECTED HERE, AND I HOPE THAT THAT TREND CONTINUES. IT'S WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY PARTNERED WITH THE ADULT LIBRARIAN, AMY FELLER, TO HAVE ADULT SIGNUPS CORRESPOND WITH THE CHILDREN'S SIGN UPS IN THE

[00:20:09]

LIKE, YES, YOUR KIDS ARE SIGNING UP. BUT IT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO MODEL READING AT HOME AND ALSO GET PRIZES, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY THE MAIN REASON WHY WE DO IT.

OF COURSE, WE JUST WANT EVERYONE TO READ. BUT YEAH, WE DID SEE AN INCREASE IN ADULT SIGNUPS.

I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION/COMMENT. LAST LAST MONTH, LAST MEETING, I MENTIONED THAT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT TO SEE AN INCREASE OF 5,000 VISITS IN JULY.

SO I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S A CORRELATION RIGHT BETWEEN THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM AND THOSE VISITS.

IT'S PROBABLY RIGHT ON TRACK. YEAH. YEAH I AGREE.

IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU GUYS ON A JOB WELL DONE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT IN THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM.

I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. AND I JUST WANT TO ADD SAME THING.

THIS THE NUMBERS LOOK GREAT. AND YOU CAN TELL THAT THE OUTREACH IS REALLY WORKING.

I LIVE CLOSE TO THE LIBRARY, AND SO I KNOW I SEE IT.

I KNOW MY DAUGHTER SEES IT. AND SO IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE SUCCESS.

I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE NUMBER OF FIRST TIME CHILDREN AND TEENS PARTICIPATING, BECAUSE THAT'S HARD TO GET PEOPLE TO COME IN AND EXPERIENCE IT, BUT ONCE THEY DO, I THINK IT STICKS WITH THEM AND IT'LL CONTINUE TO GROW.

YEAH. SO CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. MY HOPE TO CREATE LIFELONG LIBRARY USERS.

AND I THINK THOSE FIRST TIME SUMMER READING PARTICIPANTS ARE GOING TO BECOME LIFELONG LIBRARY USERS.

SO THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY JUST TO COMMEND LISA.

THIS IS THE FIRST SUMMER READING PROGRAM THAT SHE HAS MANAGED IN THAT CAPACITY, AND IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.

AND YOU CAN TELL I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN. IT'S VERY SUBTLE, BUT HER PASSION AND ENTHUSIASM FOR OUTREACH AND ENCOURAGING LITERACY IS WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE LISA ON BOARD. SO THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. YEAH. DO WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE A REPORT? I DO IT ALL THE TIME SO SOMEBODY ELSE CAN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE. I'LL SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM L2.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING SPECIAL DONATIONS, REQUESTS FOR INSTALLATION OF A PLAQUE AT RIVIERA VILLAGE PARK.

OKAY, I'LL BE TACKLING THIS ONE. I DO HAVE A PRESENTATION.

OH, GREAT. BECCA IS SO QUICK. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO I'LL WALK THROUGH THE.

CAN YOU SPEAK UP A LITTLE BIT. I'M HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME. SURE. I'LL SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO IT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. OKAY. SO I'LL BRIEFLY GO THROUGH THE ADMIN REPORT, AND THEN WE'LL KIND OF TALK THROUGH WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH TONIGHT.

SO JUST SOME VERY BRIEF BACKGROUND INFORMATION.

IN 2023, THE VILARINO FAMILY PROPOSED THE INSTALLATION OF THIS PLAQUE, AS WELL AS AN OLIVE TREE.

AND BOTH WERE COMMEMORATIVE FOR RIVIERA PARK.

EXCUSE ME. RIVIERA VILLAGE PARK. AND THOSE WERE IN HONOR OF THE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTORS TO THAT PARK WHEN IT WAS FIRST DEVELOPED, I BELIEVE IN 19. OH YEAH, IT'S UP THERE 1969.

AND AS WELL AS THE FOUNDERS AND DEVELOPERS OF THE HOLLYWOOD RIVIERA, WHICH WAS THE LOCAL BUSINESS DISTRICT DOWN THERE, AND THE OLIVE TREE WAS THE LOGO USED BY THE RIVIERA VILLAGE BUSINESS DISTRICT.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE ACTUAL OLIVE TREE ITSELF IS BEING TIED INTO FOR THIS REQUEST.

THIS WAS RECEIVED AND CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE SPECIAL DONATIONS OPTIONS OF THE CITY'S COMMEMORATIVE DONATION PROGRAM.

SO THAT PROGRAM IS REALLY JUST FOR PLAQUES. LITTLE TREE PLAQUES OR DONATION BENCHES ARE TYPICAL IN MEMORIAL OF SOMEONE THAT HAS TIES TO THE CITY. AND SO THAT PROGRAM DOES ALLOW A SPECIAL DONATIONS OPTION, WHICH IS WHICH ALLOWS ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL BY THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR OF REQUESTS THAT COME IN THAT FALL OUTSIDE OF THE STANDARD COMMEMORATIVE DONATIONS, SUCH AS THE BENCH OR THE TREE PLAQUE.

LIKE I PREVIOUSLY STATED. SINCE THE DEPARTMENT HAS NOT RECEIVED A SPECIAL DONATION REQUEST FOR ANY OF OUR RECENT HISTORY AND MEMORY, WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE PRUDENT FOR US TO COME TO THE COMMISSION TO GET FEEDBACK BEFORE THE DIRECTOR PROVIDED FORMAL APPROVAL.

SO THAT'S WHY IN NOVEMBER, WE BROUGHT THIS TO YOU AS A BODY TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST.

THE COMMISSION AT THE TIME DID SUPPORT THE PROJECT, SO WE DID MOVE FORWARD WITH IT WITH SOME CONDITIONS.

AND SO THE FIRST ONE WAS THAT WE DO NEED TO GET APPROVAL BY THE CITY OF TORRANCE.

SO A PORTION OF THE PARK IS OWNED BY THE CITY OF TORRANCE.

AND SO WE HAVE SINCE THAT SINCE NOVEMBER, RECEIVED FORMAL APPROVAL FROM THE CITY OF TORRANCE FOR THIS INSTALLATION.

SO WE ARE GOOD ON THAT END. AND THEN THE SECOND CONDITION IS PART OF THE COMMISSIONS SUPPORT WAS FOR COMMISSIONER LANG TO WORK WITH THE VILARINO FAMILY,

[00:25:03]

AND SO BEFORE WE JUMP INTO THE TEXT, I JUST FOR SOME MORE FOUNDATIONAL INFORMATION, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A WHILE.

THE RIVIERA VILLAGE PARK IS ON THE SOUTH END OF THE CITY.

IT'S JUST ON THE CORNER OF PALOS VERDES DRIVE AND CATALINA.

IT ALSO KIND OF INTERSECTS CAMINO DEL CAMPO AND CAMINO DE LA COSTA.

SO IT'S KIND OF AT THIS WEIRD INTERSECTION. AND LIKE I SAID THAT THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THAT PARK IS ACTUALLY ON CITY OF TORRANCE PROPERTY.

AND SO IT'S KIND OF A WEIRD PARCEL THERE. THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT IS A CONCEPTUAL IMAGE THAT WAS PROVIDED IN THE REPORT THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU LAST NOVEMBER, AS WELL AS IN THE REPORT FOR THIS EVENING. THIS IS PURELY JUST CONCEPTUAL FOR YOU TO HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT IS CURRENTLY AT THE PARK, WHICH IS EVERYTHING BUT THE TREE. AS WELL AS THE PLAQUE, THE PLAQUE IN THE FAR END OF THE PICTURE, THE ONE THE CLOSEST IN THE PICTURE IS EXISTING, SO THAT IS CURRENTLY THERE.

EVERYTHING ELSE. WELL, SO LET ME JUST SPECIFY.

SO FOR THIS REQUEST, IT IS JUST FOR THE FATHER PLAQUE AND THE OLIVE TREE IN THE CENTER.

SO EVERYTHING ELSE IS EXISTING. SO THIS HERE, THIS WAS INCLUDED AS AN ATTACHMENT TO YOUR REPORT.

BUT THIS IS THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE THAT COMMISSIONER LANG WORKED WITH THE VILARINO FAMILY TO REFINE.

WE WOULD, OF COURSE, AS STAFF GO THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO GRAMMATICAL ERRORS AND ALL OF THAT, BUT WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONTENT ITSELF IS ACCEPTABLE.

I DO HAVE AND WE CAN GO BACK TO IT, BUT I DO HAVE ANOTHER SLIDE WHERE IT'S TYPED OUT A LITTLE BIT BIGGER TO READ.

SO WE CAN GO BACK TO THIS AND REFERENCE IT IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THAT'S THE LANGUAGE THAT COMMISSIONER LANG WORKED WITH THE VILARINO FAMILY TO FINALIZE.

AND SO ALTHOUGH THE COMMISSION DID NOT ASK FOR STAFF OR FOR COMMISSIONER LANG TO BRING THIS LANGUAGE BACK TO YOU, COMMISSIONER LANG DID REQUEST FOR THIS TO COME BACK FOR YOUR REVIEW.

ONE BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME THAT YOU GUYS REVIEWED THIS.

AND TWO, AS PART OF THE APPROVAL OF THIS, AND IN WORKING THROUGH THIS PROJECT, IT BECAME KNOWN TO COMMISSIONER LANG THAT THAT THE FAMILY ITSELF WAS NEVER RESIDENTS OF THE CITY. CERTAINLY THEY HAD TIES TO THE CITY.

THEY OWNED A BUSINESS IN THE CITY FOR, I BELIEVE, OVER 50 YEARS.

SO THERE ARE DIRECT TIES. PART OF THIS PLAQUE ALSO COMMEMORATES THE CONTRIBUTORS TO THE PARK.

SO IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THAT ONE SINGLE FAMILY.

BUT SHE JUST WANTED TO HAVE THE COMMISSION MADE AWARE THAT THIS WAS INFORMATION THAT WE DIDN'T REALIZE AT THE TIME THAT THE COMMISSION PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED THIS.

SO FOR TONIGHT, WE ARE ASKING THE COMMISSION, OBVIOUSLY, TO REVIEW THE LANGUAGE AND THEN TO REAFFIRM YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT NOW KNOWING THAT THE DIRECT TIES WITH THE FAMILY.

AS A SECOND ADD ON HERE WITH COMMISSIONER LANG OUT THAT WAS KIND OF A LAST MINUTE CONFLICT THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND, GIVEN THAT SHE'S BEEN WORKING WITH THE FAMILY ON THIS AND COULD PROBABLY SPEAK MUCH MORE ELOQUENTLY TO HER CONCERNS, OR I SHOULDN'T CALL THEM CONCERNS. BUT HER NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT SHE WANTED TO SHARE WITH THE COMMISSION, IF YOU WOULD WANT TO CONSIDER CONTINUING THIS FUTURE MEETING TO WHERE SHE CAN BE PRESENT, TO SPEAK TO THOSE DIRECTLY, THAT'S ALSO AN OPTION FOR YOU TONIGHT.

WE DID COMMUNICATE RECENTLY WITH THE VILARINO FAMILY.

THEY ARE AWARE THAT THIS IS ON FOR TONIGHT. THEY WANTED TO BE HERE, BUT THEY HAD PRIOR COMMITMENTS, BUT THEY ARE STILL COMMITTED TO MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT IF THE COMMISSION IS STILL IN SUPPORT OF IT.

SO THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. I CAN TOGGLE BACK AND FORTH TO ANY SLIDE IF YOU NEED TO AS PART OF YOUR DISCUSSION, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS EVENING, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU KELLY. WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT ANYTHING? YEAH, SURE. THE FIRST QUESTION I HAD WAS DIDN'T IT WAS PROPOSED THAT WE GET THEY WANTED TWO PLAQUES IN THERE.

I BELIEVE. OH. I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT.

THAT'S WHERE MY SOME OF MY CONFUSION WAS. I THOUGHT THERE WAS TWO BLOCKS THAT WERE BEING PRESENTED.

ONE WAS GOING TO BE THE DONOR TO REPLACE ALL THE CIRCLES AROUND THAT USED TO BE THERE THAT GOT REMOVED.

AND THE OTHER ONE WAS TO DEAL WITH WHAT SOME OF THE CONTENT AND THE STORY THAT WAS HERE.

SO THAT'S MY FIRST QUESTION, WASN'T IT TWO? MY UNDERSTANDING OF KIND OF GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT THIS, BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS THE CULTURAL ARTS, THE PREVIOUS CULTURAL ARTS MANAGER THAT SHEPHERDED THIS. SO I'M KIND OF JUMPING INTO IT LATE IN THE GAME. BUT IN MY KIND OF RESEARCH OF IT IS THAT IT WAS THIS MAIN PLAQUE THAT HAS ALL THE INFORMATION.

THERE WAS INITIALLY SOME CONSIDERATION OF SOME SMALLER CIRCULAR PLAQUES THAT KIND OF MIRRORED SOME WHAT SUPPOSEDLY WAS AT THE PARK WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED, BUT THOSE DIDN'T CATCH ON VERY MUCH.

[00:30:07]

OKAY. AND I SEEM TO RECALL WHEN WE DID APPROVE IT BACK IN NOVEMBER, IT WAS WE WE WERE DISCUSSING WHETHER WE WANTED TO NITPICK THE LANGUAGE OR JUST RECOMMEND IT TO GO FORWARD AND HAVE COMMISSIONER LANG DO ALL THE FINE TUNING OF IT.

AND I THOUGHT THAT WE HAD ALREADY SAID, LET'S GO FORWARD WITH IT.

I ASSUME THAT THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT, SINCE THEY WERE FIELDING SO MANY CALLS FROM THE FAMILY DURING THAT SUMMER BEFORE OUR COMMISSION WAS FORMED, WOULD HAVE FLUSHED IT OUT.

BUT THERE IS AN AVIATION HIGH SCHOOL CONNECTION.

AND AS YOU POINTED OUT, THE FAMILY DID HAVE A I GUESS IT'S AN APPLIANCE STORE.

THEY DON'T HAVE THOSE ANYMORE, BUT DOWN IN THE RIVIERA.

AND THEY WERE PART OF THE GROUP THAT FOUNDED THE RIVIERA VILLAGE COMMUNITY DOWN THERE.

SO ANYWAY, THAT'S MY QUESTION. THAT'S NOT REALLY A QUESTION, BUT.

WELL, I DO JUST WANT TO SPECIFY YOU ARE CORRECT.

THE COMMISSION DID JUST SAY COMMISSIONER LANG TAKE THIS, REFINE THE LANGUAGE AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO STAFF.

BUT IT WAS ONE GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT HAS PASSED.

AND THEN TWO, JUST WITH THIS NEW INFORMATION, SHE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR THE COMMISSION TO REAFFIRM THIS, KNOWING NOW THAT THE DIRECT TIES TO THE COMMUNITY AND WHILE THEY'RE AT IT, JUST LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE THAT WE WORKED ON SINCE WE WERE ALREADY BRINGING IT BACK TO YOU FOR CONSIDERATION. SO THAT'S HOW IT ENDED UP ON YOUR AGENDA AGAIN.

OKAY. WAS IT DID I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE THAT SHE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT OR NO? NO, OR THAT WAS THAT WAS IT? IT WAS JUST THE LANGUAGE.

I MUST HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD YOU. AND THEN RECONSIDERING THE PROJECT AS A WHOLE.

YEAH. AND THAT'S WHERE TO MY LAST POINT, ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF SINCE SHE CAN'T BE HERE TONIGHT, I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON HER BEHALF.

SO IT'S COMPLETELY UP TO YOU IF YOU'D LIKE TO RECONSIDER ON ANOTHER DATE.

AND SORRY TO INTERRUPT, BUT THE FAMILY IS STILL WILLING TO PAY FOR THE PLAQUE.

THEY ARE? AND INSTALLATION? YES. OKAY. YES. I THINK JUST GIVEN THAT I REMEMBER THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA TOPIC GOING BACK TO LAST YEAR, JUST TO KIND OF RECAP TO SEE WHAT WE DID.

I FEEL LIKE I WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE IF I REVIEWED THE MINUTES FROM THAT MEETING JUST TO SEE HOW THE VOTE WENT.

I ALSO, SINCE COMMISSIONER LANG TOOK THE LEAD ON THIS I PERSONALLY WOULD FIND IT MORE APPROPRIATE IF WE EITHER TABLED THIS ITEM, WHICH WOULD BE MY ACTUAL OFFICIAL MOTION IS THAT WE TABLE THE ITEM UNTIL AT LEAST THE NEXT MEETING SO WE CAN HAVE COMMISSIONER LANG COME AND SPEAK UPON YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF WENT INTO THE LANGUAGE AND THEN GO FROM THERE.

THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION. SURE. AND IF THAT'S WHAT THE COMMISSION DECIDES TO DO, WE COULD ALWAYS INCLUDE THE MINUTES AS AN ATTACHMENT ON THAT SUBSEQUENT REPORT SO THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO IT EASY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT ADDED TO THE MOTION AS WELL.

I WOULD JUST COMMENT AND SAY, I DON'T KNOW THAT I PERSONALLY THINK THAT THAT'S NECESSARY BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION AND THE DIRECTION GIVEN, BUT I'M OKAY TO SECOND THAT MOTION IF YOU WANT TO BRING IT BACK FOR THAT.

OKAY. THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE WITH THAT IS THE FAMILY THAT IS, THEY'VE KIND OF BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME, AND IT MIGHT NOT BE THE NEXT MEETING. IT MIGHT BE THE MEETING AFTER IF WE HAVE HEARINGS AT THE NEXT MEETING, YOU KNOW. SO JUST OUT OF CONCERN FOR THAT, I MEAN IT TO READ THE MINUTES.

I'M FINE WAITING AS WELL. BUT I JUST THINK I REMEMBER IT WAS A WHILE AGO, AND I REMEMBER THAT FAMILY WAS TRYING TO ALREADY GO THROUGH THOSE DIFFERENT LAYERS OF THE BUREAUCRACY. AND I COULD SHARE A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WHEN WE WERE DOING THE WALKING THROUGH HISTORY.

IT WENT FROM BEING APPROVED BY THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION NOT UNTIL EIGHT MONTHS LATER DID IT SHOW UP IN FRONT OF THE PARKS AND RECS. AND AT THAT TIME, YOU KIND OF MADE A SIMILAR RECOMMENDATION, BUT YOU DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THAT THE CONCERNS WERE ALREADY PART OF THE REFERRAL TO THEM. SO I'M CONCERNED, AS YOU ARE, THAT DELAYING THIS IS GOING TO BE ULTIMATELY NOT GOING TO BE GOING FORWARD. AND I KNOW THAT THE STAFF HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THIS PLAQUE FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE IT EVEN HIT THIS COMMISSION.

I THINK THAT THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR, IF WE'RE OKAY WITH THE CONCEPT HAS HAD THIS LANGUAGE AND CAN ACTUALLY MAKE WHATEVER FINAL CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE. SO I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO NITPICK THE LANGUAGE, WHICH I THOUGHT WE SAID WE WEREN'T GOING TO MICROMANAGE THAT THAT

[00:35:06]

I THINK THE MOTION ORIGINALLY WAS TO TABLE THIS TO THE NEXT MEETING.

SO THAT'S THE IMMEDIATE MEETING FOLLOWING THIS WITH RESPECT TO TIME.

RIGHT. LIKE WE'RE NOT TRYING. AT LEAST I DIDN'T MAKE THE MOTION TO KICK IT DOWN FURTHER, YOU KNOW, MONTHS. IT WAS JUST TO BRING THIS TO THE NEXT MEETING SO WE CAN AFFORD COMMISSIONER LANG AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS SINCE SHE TOOK THE LEAD ON IT.

I ALSO DO THINK FOR ME PERSONALLY, THERE IS A COMPONENT IF THIS IS AGAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT, I CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT THE DIRECTOR DID MENTION ALSO THAT THEY WERE NOT A REDONDO RESIDENT, WHICH I DO THINK HAS SOME WEIGHT WITH CONSIDERING THIS.

I'M NOT AWARE IF EVERYBODY WAS AWARE OF THAT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS OR WHEN WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT. SO I AGAIN, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE MOTION ON THAT WAS PRESENTED WAS TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING.

THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE WITH CONTINUING TO THE NEXT MEETING IS WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD A LOT OF ITEMS THAT WE'VE HAD VOTED TO AGENDIZE THAT HAVE NEVER COME BACK. STARTING AND IT'S ON MY LIST TO TALK ABOUT WILDERNESS PARK WAS DECEMBER.

WE VOTED TO HAVE IT ON THE NEXT MEETING. WE HAD A COUPLE THINGS FROM THE LAST MEETING THAT WE VOTED FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

SO YEAH, I THINK IT'S GREAT IF WE PUT IT AS A CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM.

THEN I THINK IT AT LEAST CAN GET INTO THE AGENDA PACKET AND MOVED OUT IF WE NEED TO FURTHER DISCUSSION AT THAT POINT, WE CAN ALWAYS EXCLUDE IT FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR.

I WOULD ADD THAT, YOU KNOW, THE 50 YEARS OF OWNING A BUSINESS IN REDONDO IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT FOR NOT BEING A REDONDO RESIDENT.

I WOULDN'T REALLY OBJECT TO THAT AS A REASON FOR NOT MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS.

I WOULD JUST SIMPLY ADD, AS I MENTIONED, I'M OKAY WITH APPROVING THIS, SO I DON'T I HAVEN'T HEARD AN ALTERNATE MOTION, BUT IF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT, I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

I HAVE A QUESTION. DID COMMISSIONER LANG FEEL THAT SHE NEEDED TO SPEAK TO THE COMMISSION ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, OR THAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? WAS THERE ANY CONCERN THAT SHE HAD AND REASON FOR WHICH WE SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL NEXT MONTH.

BECAUSE I READ THE LANGUAGE, I THOUGHT YOUR DEPARTMENT AND SHE DID A GREAT JOB WITH IT.

THERE WAS NOTHING THAT PARTICULARLY JUMPED OUT AT ME THAT I, YOU KNOW, THAT I FELT THAT WE NEEDED TO DISCUSS.

AND I HAVE FULL TRUST IN THE DEPARTMENT'S ABILITY TO MOVE EVERYTHING FORWARD.

SO I'M BACK TO MY QUESTION IS, DID SHE HAVE A PARTICULAR CONCERN IN THAT SHE NEEDED TO SPEAK WITH US? BASED ON MY CONVERSATION WITH HER, IT WAS PURELY JUST THIS NEW INFORMATION OF THE FAMILY NOT BEING RESIDENTS OF THE CITY.

CERTAINLY THERE'S TIES, BUSINESS TIES. I BELIEVE ONE OF THEM ATTENDED AVIATION HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH WAS IN REDONDO BEACH. SO THAT CERTAINLY DOESN'T NEGATE THAT THE FAMILY WAS NOT PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

THEY JUST WERE NOT RESIDENTS DURING THIS TIME.

SO FOR HER, THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR HER TO PROMPT US COMING BACK TO YOU ALL, TO MAKING SURE THAT YOU WERE AWARE OF THAT INFORMATION AND THAT THAT DIDN'T CHANGE YOUR OPINION OF THE PROJECT. ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON HER BEHALF, BUT THAT WAS ULTIMATELY WHAT OUR DISCUSSION WAS THAT PROMPTED US TO AGENDIZE THIS. OKAY. SO IT WAS JUST IT WAS JUST HER MAKING SURE THAT WE IDENTIFIED THAT PARTICULAR PIECE.

MY UNDERSTANDING. YES, YES. I MEAN, I'M COMFORTABLE WITH MOVING FORWARD, NO DISRESPECT TO MY FELLOW COMMISSIONER.

I ACTUALLY FULLY TRUST HER. SO I'M COMFORTABLE AND AGREE WITH MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS THAT WE WOULD BE READY TO VOTE ON IT FOR TONIGHT. IS THAT A MOTION? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO. OKAY.

YEAH, TO VOTE TO APPROVE THE LANGUAGE AND THE PROJECT.

MOVE IT FORWARD. I'LL SECOND THAT. OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AND I VOTE NO.

[00:40:02]

SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM L3. COMMISSION, SUBCOMMITTEE REVIEW AND PROJECT UPDATES.

QUESTIONS WHEN WE GIVE AN UPDATE FOR STAFF, OR IS THAT THE PART AFTER? YOU CAN ASK A FEW QUESTIONS, BUT WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT A DISCUSSION PER SE.

OKAY. SO THE CITY IS AWARE OF THE JULIA FIELD THAT THE LIGHTS ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT TO THE LEAGUES. THE LIGHT, THE TEMPORARY LIGHTS ARE THE PORTABLE LIGHTS THAT ARE ON JULIA FIELD.

RIGHT. AND GOING LONG TERM, THAT'S THE INTENT TO CONTINUE TO USE THOSE.

AND THE CITY PUT IN FOR PLACEMENTS OF CONCRETE WITH ELECTRICITY.

DO YOU RECALL THAT? I BELIEVE SO, YES. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE LOOKED AT THAT PROJECT.

AND THEN THE IDEA FOR THAT WAS THAT EVENTUALLY THOSE WOULD BE POLES TO HAVE PERMANENT LIGHTS.

AND SO THERE, RIGHT NOW, THERE'S THE TEMPORARY LIGHTS. THEY USED TO BE THE DIESEL POWERED LIGHTS, AND NOW THEY'RE MOSTLY ELECTRIC PLUGGED IN LEDS AND THEY'RE QUIET.

SO HAVE YOU. ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS FROM USING THE LIGHTS AT THE PARK? ANY COMPLAINTS? ANY ISSUES? I MEAN, IT'S PRETTY STANDARD.

WE DO GET COMPLAINTS FROM TIME TO TIME WITH ANY LIGHTED PARK.

THE ADJACENT RESIDENTS TYPICALLY HAVE SOME CONCERN WITH LIGHTS.

AND SO FOR ALTAVISTA, WE HAVE I WOULD SAY WITHIN THE PAST MONTH RECEIVED 1 OR 2 COMPLAINTS THAT I AM AWARE OF, BUT I AM NOT THE DIRECT CONTACT FOR THAT. SO WE MAY HAVE RECEIVED MORE THAN THAT, BUT I'M AWARE OF AT LEAST ONE.

SO IT COULD BE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS. IT POTENTIALLY COULD BE, YES.

AND ARE THOSE COMPLAINTS ARE ABOUT THE LIGHTS BEING ON TOO LONG OR IS IT JUST THE LIGHTS BEING ON? THE ONE THAT I'M AWARE OF IS THAT THEY ARE ON TOO LONG.

THEY'RE LEFT ON LIKE. THEY'RE LEFT ON. CORRECT.

OKAY. AND THEN THE CITY IS AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THE VOLUNTEERS ARE USING THE LIGHTS AND THERE'S MISHAPS AND OTHER PEOPLE CAN ACCESS THE LIGHTS AND TURN THEM ON AS WELL.

SO SOMETIMES AN OUTSIDER CAN COME IN AND TURN ON THE LIGHTS.

I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD NEED TO WORK TOWARDS. I KNOW THAT'S PART OF THE ISSUE RIGHT NOW. SO OKAY, SO THEY'RE WORKING TO TRY TO RESOLVE THAT. WE'RE AWARE OF IT.

YES. AND THEN FOR THE PERMITTING PROCESS WITH LIKE WHEN YOU WHEN THE CITY ISSUES A PERMIT TO A NONPROFIT YOUTH ORGANIZATION AND IS IT LIKE THEY APPLY FOR THAT OR IS THERE WHAT'S THE PROCESS THERE FOR PEOPLE ON THE BOARD THAT DON'T KNOW, LIKE HOW DOES AN ORGANIZATION GET THEIR PERMIT ISSUED? WELL, THERE'S A FEW DIFFERENT PROCESSES. I DON'T HAVE THE DIRECT INFORMATION.

I WASN'T PREPARED TO SPEAK ON IT, BUT IT'S TYPICALLY GOES THROUGH OUR FACILITY USER PROCESS.

AND WE HAVE SOMEONE PROCESS THAT. AND COMPARES OUR SCHEDULE. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS THAT VERY THE SOFTWARE I FORGET WHAT IT'S CALLED.

YES, WE HAVE A SOFTWARE AS WELL. BUT FOR THE TO RESERVE FIELD TIME AS WELL ON THE CITY SIDE.

YES, WE HAVE A SOFTWARE THAT WE USE FOR FACILITY BOOKING.

SO IF A YOUTH ORGANIZATION HAS A PERMIT FOR A FIELD AND THEY ALLOW ANOTHER YOUTH ORGANIZATION TO USE PART OF THE FIELD DURING THAT TIME, THAT IS FOR ORGANIZATION A, THAT ORGANIZATION B WERE TO USE SOME OF THAT TIME.

WOULD THAT BE A DISCUSSION INVOLVING THE CITY OR WOULD THAT JUST BE BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS? IT SHOULD BE A DISCUSSION. BUT THAT'S WHERE I GO BACK TO EVERY USER IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

SOME ARE UNDER CONTRACT WHICH MAY PROHIBIT SUBLEASING OR MAY ALLOW SUBLEASING.

THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED SUBLEASING BY DOING THAT TECHNICALLY? BASED ON THE DETAILS YOU GAVE ME. YES, BUT I DON'T. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF FACTORS. SO BUT I, DO JUST WANT TO BE CAREFUL TO I THINK WE'RE GETTING INTO A LOT OF DETAILS WITH THIS.

AND SO IT CAN'T BE A DISCUSSION. I APOLOGIZE. I KNOW YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF ANY OF THIS CONVERSATION, SO I DON'T MEAN I WOULD LIKE TO ACTUALLY MAYBE JUST HAVE THE CONVERSATION CONTINUED.

BUT BEFORE THAT IS THE CITY PLANNING ON REDOING THE PERMIT PROCESS FOR THE YOUTH GROUPS IN THE FUTURE? WE ARE INTERNALLY DISCUSSING HOW WE WANT TO APPROACH THAT.

YES. SO WE WILL BE REVAMPING THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

OKAY. AND IS THAT IS THE GOAL IS FOR WHEN WOULD THAT TAKE EFFECT? I CAN'T SAY WE WOULD LIKE IT TO HAPPEN ASAP, BUT WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER PROJECTS AND LIMITED RESOURCES.

[00:45:05]

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE INPUT ON AS THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION? I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE POTENTIALLY, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

OKAY. I CAN'T SAY WITH CERTAINTY AT THIS MOMENT AND I THINK THAT'S IT.

I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. I HAD A QUESTION REGARDING THE BYLAWS SUBCOMMITTEE.

ARE WE GOING TO PICK THAT CONVERSATION UP NOW, OR ARE WE.

YEAH IT'S ON THE LIST HERE. RIGHT. YEAH. NO, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT AS YOU'RE AWARE COUNCIL IS REVIEWING THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND THE CODE AS IT RELATES TO COMMISSIONS.

SO I WOULD WAIT FOR THEIR DIRECTIONS AND DECISIONS BEFORE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT.

AND I DO ENCOURAGE YOU, IF YOU HAVE OPINIONS OR INPUTS OR COMMENTS ON THOSE ASPECTS, THEN YOU KNOW, SPEAK TO COUNCIL OR YOUR REPRESENTATIVE THEY'RE VERY OPEN TO FEEDBACK.

IT'S BEEN VERY PUBLIC AND TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE PROCESS.

SO AT THIS JUNCTURE, I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE UNWARRANTED TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT MIGHT A DECISION WITHIN THIS COMMISSION THAT MIGHT BE USURPED BY A DECISION BY COUNCIL. SO UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.

AND I REALIZE I APOLOGIZE. IT'S TAKEN SO LONG, BUT WE CERTAINLY WANTED TO TAKE THE LEAD FROM COUNCIL AND NOT SPEND ANY TIME ON CREATING SOME RULES OR CODES THAT MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW OVERRULED BY COUNCIL. SO I THINK THAT WE'LL GET A LITTLE MORE DIRECTION AND HOPEFULLY THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED WILL BE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.

AND THAT'S WHY I'VE WORKED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE PROCESS.

THANK YOU. AND I WOULD ACTUALLY ADD TO IT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO OUR ORDINANCE ACTUALLY SET FORTH SPECIFIC TASKS THAT YOU COULD DO FOR COMMITTEES.

THERE WAS A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO COUNCIL, THAT SOME OF THE COMMISSIONS HAVE BYLAWS.

AND THE IMPRESSION I GOT FROM LISTENING TO THEM IS THEY WERE DESIGNING THESE ORDINANCES IN A WAY THAT THE COMMISSIONS WOULDN'T NEED BYLAWS ANYMORE, THAT THEY WERE STANDARDIZING THE ORDINANCES. SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE SET FORTH IN THE ORDINANCE, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR THE FORMER HISTORICAL COMMISSION STUFF, IT BASICALLY IS TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT DISCRETE TASKS, WHICH FITS IN WITH HOW THEY GOT RID OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY ONE.

THEY WANT THESE LANES DEFINED. SO I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEING BYLAWS.

I THINK THEY ALREADY DID THE FIRST GO AROUND PASS ON IT.

AND PROBABLY I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR COUNCIL, BUT THAT'S DEFINITELY THE DIRECTION IT APPEARS.

BUT CERTAINLY IF YOU HAVE A FEEDBACK YOU CAN PROVIDE IT.

AND THAT'S ALSO WHY I HESITATE TO DO ANY MORE SPECIFICS IN REGARDS TO THE SUBCOMMITTEES, BECAUSE I KNOW THEY ARE DISCUSSING THE RULES FOR SUBCOMMITTEES, AND THAT MIGHT CHANGE AS WELL. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE, BUT IT'S A VERY ACTIVE PROCESS AND OUR COUNCIL HAS PUT IN AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WORK AND TIME AND ENERGY ON IT, AND HAS RECEIVED A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM COMMISSIONERS AND THE PUBLIC.

SO I APPRECIATE THE PROCESS, BUT IT'S KIND OF A WAIT AND SEE FOR NOW, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY THAT'S ON THIS COMMISSION TO LOOK AT WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING FOR US TO BE DOING, BECAUSE WHILE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO CHANGE MUCH, AT LEAST ON THE PRESERVATION SIDE, IT DOES CHANGE SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF. AND I THINK PEOPLE WHO ARE IN PARKS AND RECS WILL PROBABLY BE SENSITIVE TO THE CHANGES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE TO THAT.

BY THE WAY, THIS WAS JUST AN IDEA THAT POPPED UP.

DO YOU THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR US TO START INVITING DIFFERENT COUNCIL PEOPLE TO COME TO OUR MEETINGS SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING, WHAT WE'RE DOING? YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE.

I DON'T SEE WHY NOT. THEY'RE A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.

YOU DO IMPORTANT WORK HERE. YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION, IN ADDITION TO OUR SUMMER READING PRESENTATION.

SO THEY'RE WELCOME TO WATCH LIVE RECORDED. COME IN PERSON FOR SURE.

I DID I DID ATTEND THE COUNCIL MEETING LAST WEEK, AND SPOKE ON A COUPLE OF ON A COUPLE OF THE ORDINANCES AND THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH AN EMAIL AS REQUESTED BY THE MAYOR.

SO ONE OF THE ITEMS WAS RELATED TO PRESERVATION, AND THE OTHER ITEM WAS RELATED TO

[00:50:01]

AND I BROUGHT THAT UP WHEN WE FIRST BEGAN MEETING, IF YOU REMEMBER, WAY BACK THEN THAT WAS MY QUESTION IS WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE OVERSEEING? YOU KNOW, ARE WE PARTICIPATING IN CHOOSING THE BANDS THAT PERFORM ON THE PIER OR, AND IF THAT SHOULD BE PART OF THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION, IF THEY COULD DEFINE THAT BETTER.

I MEAN, I HAVE NO PROBLEM. YOU KNOW, SINCE I'M A PERFORMER, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WORKING ON THAT.

BUT I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE BETTER DEFINED.

YEAH, BUT THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THAT I DID THAT.

I THINK THAT THE PART OF IT WAS THAT LAST YEAR, LIKE ON THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, WE DID HAVE AN ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE THAT WENT OVER.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHERE IT SPILLED FROM, BUT WE DO HAVE OUR CULTURAL ARTS MANAGER OVER HERE, SO YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'LL BE ADDRESSED, BUT I THINK THEY PASSED THE FIRST READING.

SO IT'S ANOTHER TWO WEEKS, AND THEN I'LL HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE PROBABLY BY OUR OCTOBER MEETING.

THAT WAS LAST NIGHT. YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS I DIDN'T WATCH.

THE OUTCOME. I DO HAVE AN UPDATE. WELL, AN UPDATE.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT DIRECTOR ORTA AND I WILL BE TALKING ON THE ALTA VISTA PICKLEBALL SUBCOMMITTEE.

HAVE SOME OF MY IDEAS TURNING AROUND AND, YOU KNOW, THIS BODY VOTED TO CREATE THAT SUBCOMMITTEE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OUR CHARGE IN PART IS, YOU KNOW, TO ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RECREATION, STIMULATE PUBLIC INTEREST IN PROGRAMING. SO YOU KNOW, NOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ROLLING OUT A, YOU KNOW, GREAT OPPORTUNITY OVER THERE AT ALTAVISTA, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN AND ENSURE THAT WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, STUMBLE INTO SOME OF THE MISTAKES OR CHALLENGES THAT ARE OCCURRING IN OTHER CITIES WITH RESPECT TO PICKLEBALL. SO ONE OF MY IDEAS, YOU KNOW, THAT I HAD MENTIONED TO DIRECTOR ORTA WAS TO YOU KNOW, TO GET TOGETHER THE AMBASSADORS, THE PICKLEBALL AMBASSADORS FROM OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES AND KIND OF HAVE A LITTLE ROUND TABLE AND THEN, YOU KNOW, A FEW OTHER IDEAS. BUT SHE AND I WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ON THAT.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF THE FRANKLIN PARK SUBCOMMITTEE I DID REACH OUT TO TO DIRECTOR HOUSE, AND SHE HAS RECEIVED THE NEW LAYOUT FOR THE PARK.

CORRECT? YEAH. IF I MAY, I CAN PROVIDE A QUICK UPDATE.

SO THE STAKEHOLDER GROUP HAS WORKED WITH THE PLAYGROUND MANUFACTURER AND WHERE WE HAVE REFINED A CONCEPTUAL DRAWING.

NOW WE'RE WORKING ON COLORS, SO WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM TO GET 2 TO 3 PALETTES THAT WE'LL SHARE WITH THE STAKEHOLDER GROUP SO THAT THEY CAN REFINE WHICH ONE THEY LIKE, SEE IF THEY WANT TO MAKE SOME SLIGHT ALTERATIONS.

AND WE'RE HOPING TO WE ACTUALLY ARE WORKING ON THAT A LITTLE BIT THIS AFTERNOON.

SO I'M HOPING TO HAVE SOMETHING, AN UPDATE FOR THE STAKEHOLDER GROUP EITHER LATE THIS WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

SO WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE A MUCH BIGGER UPDATE AT THE NEXT MEETING.

AND IS THE NEW DESIGN IS THAT APPROVED OR AT WHAT POINT IS THAT RIGHT NOW? WELL, IT'LL BE, SO KIND OF THE WAY THAT THIS IS GOING TO FLOW IS THE STAKEHOLDER GROUP WILL BE MAKING ITS FINAL RECOMMENDATION.

SO ONCE THE STAKEHOLDER GROUP REFINES THE COLORS AND EVERYTHING AND SAYS, YES, THIS IS THE PLACEMENT WE WANT, WE'RE GOOD TO GO. WHAT WE ARE PLANNING TO DO IS TO BRING THAT CONCEPTUAL DRAWING TO THIS BODY SO THAT YOU ALL, AS A GROUP CAN SEE THE WORK, THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND THE TIME THAT THEY PUT IN.

WE WILL GET YOUR FEEDBACK FROM HERE. AND THEN WE WILL PRESENT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE STAKEHOLDER GROUP, THE INPUT FROM THIS COMMISSION, ALL OF THAT WILL BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL.

OKAY, GREAT. EXCITED. YEAH. I HAVE STUFF WITH THE BRINGING HISTORY TO THE COMMUNITY SUBCOMMITTEE.

SO WE IN DECEMBER APPROVED AN AGENDIZED THE WILDERNESS PARK HISTORIC LANDMARK.

AT THE LAST MEETING WE HAD, THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SAID, NO, NO, NO, IT HAS TO GO TO COUNCIL FIRST.

SO WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.

I KIND OF WENT TO THE COUNCIL AND SAID, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO AGENDIZE THIS.

[00:55:04]

SO NOW WE'RE IN A LOOP THAT THE COUNCIL IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND HAS AND FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS OF WHAT OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SAID, AND WENT TO THE COUNCIL AND THEY SAID THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IT ON THEIR AGENDA.

I THINK SO. I THINK IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS AT THIS POINT UNLESS THEY COME BACK AND SAY, WELL, NOW WE NEED YOU TO RECOMMEND IT. I DON'T KNOW ON THAT.

THE PATH OF HISTORY. JACK'S, OUR COMMUNITY, OUR COMMUNITY CULTURAL ARTS MANAGER, THERE'S SO MANY TITLES HERE. OUR CULTURAL ARTS MANAGER, JACK, HAS BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB TRYING TO GET IT SO THAT WE ACTUALLY WILL HAVE SIGNS THAT WILL LAST MORE THAN TEN YEARS. HE'S COME UP WITH SOME PROPOSALS.

SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT.

AT SOME POINT AND GET SOME SIGNS UP. THE WALKING TIMELINE IN DOMINGUEZ PARK. THAT'S THE ONE THAT HISTORICAL COMMISSION APPROVED AND SENT IT OVER TO PARKS AND REC, SINCE IT'S IN DOMINGUEZ PARK. AND THAT'S WHAT WAS SENT ULTIMATELY, BACK TO HISTORICAL FOR THE INFORMATION THAT WAS ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THE REPORT.

I'M HOPING THAT WE GET VOTED TO AGENDIZE IT. I'M HOPING THAT THAT ENDS UP BACK ON OUR AGENDA SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.

THE ITO PARK. AND THIS IS WHERE I'LL BE CALLING YOU, SENDING YOU SOME INFORMATION, MR. MCCAULEY IS THAT I'M DRAFTING LANGUAGE FOR THAT PARK THAT I WANT TO RUN BY THE FAMILY, BUT SINCE IT'S COMING THROUGH THE SUBCOMMITTEE, I WILL BE SENDING YOU IT. IF YOU DETERMINE WE NEED TO HAVE A MEETING TO DISCUSS IT AND GO OVER IT, THAT'S GREAT. COMMISSIONER LANG, SHE SHOWS UP HERE? I DON'T THINK SHE'S FORMALLY ON THIS COMMISSION, BUT SHE AGREED TO DO THE WORDSMITHING AND SMOOTHING THE EDITING PART OF IT.

SO ONCE WE GET THE OKAY FROM THE FAMILY THAT IT'S OKAY AND WE DISCUSS IT AND OF COURSE, OUR CULTURAL ARTS MANAGER IS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT. WE'LL SEND HIM A COPY AS WELL.

THEN WE CAN SEND IT OFF TO COMMISSIONER LANG.

AND I THINK THAT ULTIMATELY, THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

AGAIN, IT'S THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR HAS THE FINAL SAY ON THE LANGUAGE SO THAT HOPEFULLY WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

AND THEN THE REST OF THE STUFF I'LL SAVE FOR THE REFERRAL TO STAFF.

I DID WANT TO NOTE AND I JUST WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THE MINUTES FROM THE MAY MEETING, WHICH I MISSED.

SO BUT THERE WAS A DISCUSSION OF THE PARK RANGER PROGRAM CLUB COMMITTEE, AND IT DID SAY IN THE MINUTES THAT IT WAS GOING TO COME BACK IN THREE MONTHS. SO THREE MONTHS WOULD HAVE BEEN LAST MONTH.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS. I KNOW YOUR, CHAIR YOU WERE PART OF THAT GROUP AS FAR AS THAT GOES, BUT IT MAY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AGAIN AND ADDED TO OUR PACKET OF STUFF.

THAT'S IT FOR ME. ANY OTHER UPDATES FROM SUBCOMMITTEES? YEAH. VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION AWARDS. YOU KNOW, WE'RE GIVING AWAY THOSE WONDERFUL FRAMED CERTIFICATES OF RECOGNITION, ALONG WITH THE GROOVY SURFBOARD THAT KELLY AND I PICKED OUT.

THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO PASS OUT OR EMAIL YOU GUYS ANOTHER APPLICATION FOR NOMINATIONS.

SO PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAPS AND TRY TO FIND SOMEONE WHO IS DESERVING OF A VOLUNTEER AWARD.

I WILL REACH BACK OUT TO CITY COUNCIL, WHO ALWAYS GIVES ME NOMINATIONS, BUT A FEW TIMES THEY WERE CITY EMPLOYEES, SO WE HAD TO STRIKE THOSE. BUT I WILL GO BACK, SO I'LL GET SOME INFORMATION TO YOU GUYS AND WE'LL DO ANOTHER ROUND OF NOMINATIONS.

THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER ROWE, IF I MAY, I JUST WANT TO SPECIFY THAT THIS IS VOLUNTEER EFFORTS THAT ARE DONE IN THE CITY'S PARKS OR GREEN SPACES OR ENHANCE RECREATIONAL, BASICALLY ANYTHING IN THE PURVIEW OF THE COMMISSION. I JUST WANT TO SPECIFY THAT WE CERTAINLY WANT TO RECOGNIZE EVERYONE, BUT WE JUST WANT TO KEEP IT WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THE COMMISSION. THANK YOU.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT? NOTHING ELSE TO ADD IN REGARD TO THIS ITEM? OKAY. OKAY. DO WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS ITEM? NO. I MOVE, WE RECEIVE AND FILE WHATEVER REPORT OR REPORTS WE GOT.

PERFECT. SURE. I'LL SECOND IT. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OKAY, MOVING ON TO ITEM M ITEMS FROM STAFF. NO ITEMS, ALTHOUGH I DID, WANTED TO

[M. ITEMS FROM STAFF]

[01:00:06]

BUT WE'VE BEEN REMINDED BY THE MINUTES SECRETARY TO PLEASE USE YOUR MICROPHONES.

IT'S PERFECT TONIGHT, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE PAST THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME ISSUES. WE ALL FORGET, I FORGET.

IF INDIVIDUALS, ESPECIALLY DURING HEARINGS, SPEAK ONE AT A TIME, IT'S APPRECIATED.

REFRAIN FROM INTERACTING DIRECTLY WITH THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS.

AND WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF CLEAR, ARTICULATE MOTIONS AND SECONDS AND VOTES WERE ABLE TO BE CAPTURED. WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT, BUT THAT'S ALL.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DANA. PERFECT. IS THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS FROM STAFF OR ARE THERE RATHER. NOPE. OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM N COMMISSION MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS.

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

I'LL LET OTHER PEOPLE SAY THEIR STUFF BECAUSE I GOT A LONG LIST SO YOU CAN GO.

IT'S OKAY. OKAY, SO HISTORICAL DISTRICTS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN DOING, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS AND THE REASON I THINK THE MINUTES DON'T REFLECT IT.

I ASKED THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, ARE WE REACTIVE OR PROACTIVE? ARE WE ABLE TO GO OUT AND TALK TO DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ABOUT HISTORICAL LANDMARKS, SINCE WE HAVE A DEFICIENCY IN GETTING THE ANNUAL LETTER OUT? HISTORICAL DISTRICTS. SO I WANT TO RELATE TO YOU THAT IN THE WORKS, HOPEFULLY IT WILL COME UP AT THE NEXT MEETING IS GARNET STREET WAS IDENTIFIED IN 1986 SURVEY AS A POSSIBLE HISTORIC DISTRICT.

THERE ARE SIX HISTORIC LANDMARKS IN A ROW, SO THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF FINALIZING AN APPLICATION FOR THAT.

IN ADDITION THERE IS THE SURVEY AND THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR HOMES IS 70 YEARS. SO WE ARE IN THE 70S EXCUSE ME, 50 YEARS.

SO WE'RE IN THE 70S, 1970S HOMES BUILT IN THAT THAT CAN QUALIFY FOR HISTORIC DISTRICTS.

WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF WHAT I WALKING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOODS THINK ARE A QUALITY AT MOST B QUALITY HOMES THAT ARE ALL CONNECTED INTO IT. ONE OF THEM IS THE MCDONALD TRACT THAT WAS BUILT IN 1953.

THERE WAS 220 HOMES THAT WERE PUT TOGETHER AROUND THAT TIME, THERE WERE SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVE STREETS AND RATHER THAN SAYING EVERYBODY SHOULD BE HISTORIC LANDMARK, HAVE A SAMPLING OF IT. SO I'M GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TALKING TO THOSE PEOPLE AND SEE IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN A HISTORIC DISTRICT.

1643 1633 TO 1643 ON HAYNES AND NORTH REDONDO THERE ARE A BUNCH OF UNIQUE HOMES IN THE CITY THAT WERE BUILT IN 1957. THERE USED TO BE A MOBILE HOME PARK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY INVOLVED IN IT, LOOKING AT THAT BEING POSSIBLE HISTORIC DISTRICT.

AND THEN FRANKLIN PARK, WHICH IS YOU'RE DOING SOME WORK ALREADY IN THE FRANKLIN PARK AREA.

MOST OF THOSE HOMES WERE BUILT IN THE 1950S, AND IT'S A WELL-KEPT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT SEEMS TO BE VERY HIGH.

BUT THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER FUN AREA TO ACTUALLY HAVE A HISTORIC DISTRICT IN.

I HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE YOU CONTINUE. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CREATING HISTORIC DISTRICTS BASED ON HOMES THAT ARE ON THE I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT HOMES THAT ARE ON THE LIST.

WE HAVE A GAP OF PROBABLY ABOUT 25 YEARS. OKAY.

THESE WERE ABOUT FOUR YEARS OUT FROM BEING IN THE SURVEY IF THEY DID AN UPDATE ON THE SURVEY.

SO THEY WOULD EITHER BE COMING IN AS LANDMARKS OR WE WOULD SAY IT'S A DISTRICT AND THEN BRING THEM IN.

THAT WAY INTO THE PROGRAM. I'M HESITANT TO PUT 220 HOUSES IN A DISTRICT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT I THINK A NICE REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE WOULD BE THEY'RE ALL THE SAME STRUCTURE KIND OF STRUCTURE.

SO YEAH. NO, IT'S. SO THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING IS, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD SENT TO THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR IS ACTUALLY RELATED TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF HOMES BASED ON THE AGE, BECAUSE THE

[01:05:07]

IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY SAY MUST BE FROM THAT. AND THAT WAS MY QUESTION.

BECAUSE IF THAT'S THE CASE, IF WE'RE NOT TIED TO HAVING TO USE THAT LIST, THEN BASICALLY WE CAN DO WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING. YEAH.

AND WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE A NEW INVENTORY DONE.

WE STILL NEED A NEW INVENTORY. WE DO. AS WE LEARNED FROM OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.

THE STANDARD IS FIVE YEARS IN THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC RESOURCE CODE.

RIGHT. AND WE HAVEN'T HAD IT IN A QUARTER CENTURY.

SO THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING, IS THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO BE DOING.

IT'S MORE OF A REFERRAL TO STAFF THAT SAYS, HEY, JUST BE AWARE THAT THERE MAY BE SOME APPLICATIONS COMING IN ON THAT SUBJECT.

AND I ANTICIPATE BY THE NEXT MEETING THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE FROM NORTH GARNET'S THE BLOCK, NORTH BLOCK OF GARNET STREET. THEN AS FAR AS THE RESOURCES SURVEY MY UNDERSTANDING FROM WHAT THE COUNCIL WAS SAYING IS THERE ARE AND THE CITY MANAGER THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT IT, BUT IT'S REAL EXPENSIVE TO DO THAT. I THINK THE NUMBER I HEARD WAS LIKE $190,000 TO ACTUALLY DO AN UPDATED SURVEY.

I'VE SUGGESTED THAT WE CAN WALK AROUND AND START IDENTIFYING SOME OURSELVES IF WE WANT TO, AND THEN THEY CAN LOOK AT IT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET BUILDING RECORDS FROM THE CITY YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WHEN THESE PROPERTIES WERE BUILT, IF THERE'S A FAMOUS ARCHITECT. BUT I DID NOTE THAT THE AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY WANT TO BE AWARE OF, THAT EACH OF THE CITY DEPARTMENT HEADS HAS A PROFILE NOW ON IT ON THE CITY WEBSITE.

SO YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT OUR DIRECTOR, MR. VINKE.

YOU CAN READ ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR, BUT THE CITY CLERK ACTUALLY SAYS THAT SHE'S DIGITIZING ALL THESE BUILDING RECORDS FROM WAY BACK WHEN. SO I'M HOPING THAT'S GOING TO HELP US AS WELL.

THE. I SAID I HAVE A LOT. OCTOBER 11TH THE REDONDO BEACH HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS HAVING A SPEAKER, TONY TRUTANICH JUNIOR. THERE WAS A RECENT ARTICLE IN THE DAILY BREEZE ABOUT TONY'S ON THE PIER, BUT HE'S GOING TO COME OUT AND DO A PRESENTATION ON PEOPLE IN REDONDO BEACH HISTORY.

SO WE HAVE THAT COMING UP. THIS ONE WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE COUNCIL, BUT I THINK IT ACTUALLY TIES IN WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING.

THE FRIENDS OF REDONDO BEACH ARTS IS ACTUALLY HAVING A CONTEST FOR UNIQUE GEMS OF HOMES.

THAT AND THERE MAY BE SOME THAT, YOU KNOW, QUALIFY FOR WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN PRESERVATION.

SO THERE MAY BE SOME MORE THINGS COMING FROM THAT.

THE. OH, SO WE LEARNED LAST MONTH THAT THE STATE REPORT HASN'T BEEN DONE.

AND THAT DOESN'T IMPACT ME AS MUCH BECAUSE I WASN'T ON THE COMMISSION THAT ENDED SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2024. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE ON THIS PANEL THAT DOES THE NEXT ONE GOES THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2025. AND IF THE CITY IS GOING TO BE DOING ITS REPORT, I NEED TO SUBMIT INFORMATION TO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TO YOU OR TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, BUT I HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED BECAUSE THERE'S AN EDUCATION PART OF IT.

SO I'M JUST GIVING YOU A HEADS UP ON THAT. I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT COME OUT WITHOUT THAT, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION.

CAN YOU FIND OUT FROM THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR? WE TALKED ABOUT A QUARTERLY PRESERVATION NEWSLETTER.

I THINK YOU BROUGHT IT UP IN THE POLICY STATEMENT.

I VOLUNTEERED TO HELP THEM IF THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING.

BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM AS FAR AS WHETHER THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OR NOT.

AND I KNOW THAT IT'S IN OUR MEETING MINUTES FROM LAST TIME.

WITH REGARDS TO DOING HAVING A COMMITTEE THAT DISCUSSES COMMEMORATIVE BRICKS AND OTHER WAYS OF RECOGNIZING HISTORIC

[01:10:01]

BUT I THINK IT'S I ASKED THE CITY MANAGER IF HE CAN GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO EMBED THE BRICKS IN IT, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO A COUPLE OF THE NONPROFIT GROUPS AND SEE IF THEY WILL ACTUALLY RAISE THE MONEY SO THAT THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY OF THOSE BRICKS IN THE GROUND. AND I THINK. I THINK I'VE GOT EVERYTHING COVERED.

SO THANK YOU. OH, AND AGAIN, DO READ. THIS IS A GREAT RESOURCE FOR NOT ONLY YOU, BUT IT'S LIKE YOU READ ABOUT THE CITY MANAGER, YOU READ ABOUT ALL THE DIRECTORS, AND I THINK IT'S JUST REALLY IT PERSONALIZES EVERYTHING.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO WHAT WE'RE DOING.

OKAY, THAT'S IT FOR ME. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER ROWE.

NOTHING FOR ME ON ITEM N. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER GALASSI.

I HAVE A QUESTION. SNEARY PARKETTE ON FORD. THE SIGN THERE IS REALLY FALLING APART.

DO I. WHO DO I CAN I TELL YOU? YES WE CAN. I'LL CHECK ON IT.

WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND SEE. OKAY. YEAH.

YOU SAID SNEARY PARKETTE? SNEARY PARKETTE ON FORD.

FORD OKAY, OKAY. HE WAS A POLICE CHIEF, BY THE WAY.

YEAH. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP ITEM FOR FUTURE AGENDA TOPIC, SINCE THE CITY IS GOING TO BE TIGHTENING UP THE PROCESS FOR PERMITS.

IF WE CAN GET AN UPDATE OR HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THAT TOPIC FOR EITHER OUR NEXT MEETING OR YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO BE TRYING TO DO THAT PRETTY FAST.

WE WOULD LIKE TO, BUT I DON'T. WE SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO REVAMP THAT ENTIRE PROCESS.

AND SO I CAN'T GIVE YOU A TIMELINE, BUT IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO HAVE INPUT ON, WE COULD BRING IT BACK WHEN WE HAVE A DRAFT. I THINK WE WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO HAVE INPUT ON THAT, ON THE PROCESS, TO BE AWARE OF WHAT, IF ANY, CHANGES MIGHT BE COMING DOWN THE LINE AND ALSO TO, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY GROUPS AS WELL TO KIND OF GET INPUT FROM THEM.

OH FOR SURE. WE WERE ALREADY GOING TO DO THAT INTERNALLY THROUGH THE PROCESS.

BUT IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE INPUT WE CAN BRING THAT TO YOU.

I JUST I CAN'T COMMIT TO WHEN, BUT I CAN COMMIT TO BRINGING IT TO YOU WHEN WE HAVE A DRAFT OF IT FOR REVIEW.

THAT'S FAIR. OKAY. IF WITHIN THE NEXT 2 OR 3 MONTHS ARE WE TALKING SIX MONTHS? NO. IT'LL PROBABLY BE, I WOULD SAY 6 TO 12 MONTHS FROM NOW IS KIND OF WHERE WE WOULD HAVE A WORKING DRAFT TO PRESENT TO YOU.

OKAY. AND IF WE HAVE HAD ANY COMMENTS OR ADVICE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED PRIOR TO THAT, WOULD WE JUST REACH OUT AND SEND THOSE TO YOU? YES. PLEASE SEND THOSE TO ME AND WE'LL COMPILE ALL OF THOSE. YEAH. SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO BRING IT BACK, IF WE CAN HAVE A FORMAL MOTION. YEAH. IF WE CAN MAKE A MOTION FOR TO HAVE THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR COME BACK TO SPEAK TO US ABOUT THE UPCOMING CHANGES TO THE PERMITTING PROCESS FOR NONPROFITS.

I'LL SECOND THAT. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THANK YOU.

YOU AND I SPOKE BRIEFLY AFTER THE MEETING LAST WEEK, AND YOU MENTIONED YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE ON CREATING THAT GOOGLE DOC THAT WE TALKED ABOUT DURING THE MEETING TO KEEP TRACK OF ITEMS THAT WE WANT TO BRING BACK TO AGENDIZE.

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE STILL INTERESTED IN DOING? I CAN COMMIT TO DOING THAT. I THINK THE MOST APPROPRIATE WAY TO DO IT IS IF I UPDATE A GOOGLE DOC, I CAN CIRCULATE IT TO OUR STAFF LIAISON, AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN CIRCULATE IT TO THE REST OF THE COMMISSION.

I THINK THAT MIGHT BE THE BEST THING TO DO. OKAY, I APPRECIATE THAT THAT WOULD HELP US BECAUSE I AND IT'S A RELATIVELY QUICK UNDERTAKING. ALL WE NEED TO DO IS GATHER THE MINUTES, GO TO THE SUBSECTION OF WHERE IT'S AGENDIZED, TAKE THAT AND PUT IT INTO A GOOGLE DOC. IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE. RIGHT? I DON'T WANT TO WORK CROSS PURPOSES, BUT WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT INTERNALLY, SO WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF DATA.

WE HAPPY TO WORK WITH A COMMISSIONER. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T VIOLATE ANY BROWN ACT RULES.

RIGHT. AND YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT THE DATA WE'VE GATHERED ALREADY A LOT OF THESE ITEMS ARE.

WELL, ACTUALLY, SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING ADDRESSED OR MOVING FORWARD.

BUT YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE ARE JUST ON THE RADAR.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE DEPARTMENT, BUT I WOULD ASSUME, GIVEN THEIR WHAT'S ON THEIR PLATE AND THEIR PRIORITIES AND THE

[01:15:01]

I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I HAD MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE DURING THIS MEETING.

I DID HEAR EARLIER THAT YOU SAID PENDING WHATEVER COUNCIL COMES FROM THE BYLAWS, THEN WILL WE CAN INTRODUCE THE TOPICS OF SUBCOMMITTEES.

BUT I JUST WANT TO REITERATE. ABSOLUTELY. THE IMPORTANCE.

CORRECT. THAT, YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS WE'RE ABLE TO I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION.

SO EVERYBODY THERE AGAIN, WE FORMED PRETTY QUICKLY.

THERE WAS A LOT OF SUBCOMMITTEES THAT WEREN'T CARRIED OVER FROM THE PRE COMMISSIONS THAT ULTIMATELY BECAME THIS COMMISSION.

SO I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THE IMPORTANCE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THAT AGENDIZED.

SO EVERYBODY IS AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO EITHER ESTABLISH NEW SUBCOMMITTEES OR SUNSET SUBCOMMITTEES THAT AREN'T RELEVANT ANYMORE.

I CONCUR, OF THE LIST. OKAY. JUST TO THAT SPECIFIC A LITTLE BROADER SCALE, I FORGOT TO BRING UP A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, BUT IT IS COVERED THAT NEXT MEETING, IT'LL BE TIME TO NOMINATE AND SELECT A CHAIR ONCE AGAIN AND A VICE CHAIR.

SO JUST BE THINKING ABOUT THAT. THAT'LL ALSO BE ON THE.

THAT WILL FOR SURE WILL BE ON THE AGENDA NEXT MONTH.

BUT YOU'RE CORRECT. AND THE ONLY CHALLENGE THERE WAS I KNOW THAT IN WATCHING THE COUNCIL MEETINGS, THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE FORMATION OF SUBCOMMITTEES AND YOU KNOW SOME OF THE DIRECTION THAT COUNCIL WILL PROVIDE.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE'RE DISCUSSING ALIGNS WITH THE RULES THAT ARE ACTUALLY APPROVED AND DISSEMINATED.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE DIDN'T BRING THAT UP THIS MONTH.

OKAY. I HAVE ONE MORE THING. I DID WANT TO COMMEND THE STAFF OF COMMUNITY SERVICES IN THERE, INCLUDING IN THE REPORT, A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM, INCLUDING CENSUS NUMBERS AND THE FACT THAT THEY'VE CREATED NEW FLIERS, WHICH I THINK IS JUST WONDERFUL.

SO I DO APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS TO MAKE IT A PLACE THAT PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO GO TO.

SO THANK YOU. OKAY. IF NOTHING ELSE, MOVING ON TO ITEM O ADJOURNMENT.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. I'LL MOVE TO ADJOURN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?
