COMMISSIONER MCCAULEY AND COMMISSIONER ROWE. 
          CALDWELL IS CURRENTLY ABSENT, BUT SOMETIMES HE RUNS A LITTLE BIT LATE,
SO HOPEFULLY HE'LL STILL BE HERE. 
          THANK YOU. AND NOW WE'RE MOVING TO THE SALUTE TO THE FLAG. 
          AND, EMMA, DO YOU WANT TO LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE? NO? WHY DON'T YOU BOTH COME UP AND DO IT? JUST. 
          YOU CAN STAND RIGHT THERE. WE'RE ALL GOING TO STAND UP TOGETHER. 
          ALL RIGHT, START US OFF. 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. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. NEXT TIME YOU CAN SEE IF YOU CAN GET TO BE PART OF
THE CITY COUNCIL INTRODUCTIONS AS WELL. 
          OKAY, SO WE DID THAT. CAN WE GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA? 
          [D. APPROVE ORDER OF AGENDA]
AND JUST FOR THE RECORD COMMISSIONER CALDWELL IS HERE. 
          DULY NOTED. OKAY, CAN WE GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE. 
          DOES ANYBODY WANT TO CHANGE IT? I MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA. 
          IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. OKAY. I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. 
          CAN WE GET A RAISE OF HANDS OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE ORDER OF THE
AGENDA? ANYBODY OPPOSED? NO ABSTENTIONS. OKAY, SO THAT PASSES. 
          [E. BLUE FOLDER ITEMS - ADDITIONAL BACK UP MATERIALS]
NOW WE MOVE UP TO THE BLUE FOLDER ITEM, AND LIAISON VINKE WHY DON'T YOU TELL US HOW MANY
WE HAVE AND WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR? WELL, WE HAVE THREE ITEMS IN THE BLUE FOLDER. 
          2 ARE RELATIVE TO THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES,
WHICH WOULD BE F.3. 
          AND WE HAVE A BLUE FOLDER ITEM, WHICH IS A PRESENTATION BY COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
REGARDING F.1. 
          OKAY. CAN I GET A MOTION TO. SORRY, THAT WAS. 
          I'M SORRY. EXCUSE ME. I'M SORRY I GOT THE ORDER WRONG. 
          I WAS TOO CONFIDENT. THE 2 SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS ARE L.3,
AND THE PRESENTATION IS L.1. 
          3 ITEMS. THANK YOU. CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE BLUE FOLDER DOCUMENTS? MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          ALL THOSE OPPOSED. RAISE YOUR HANDS. OKAY, SO IT'S EVERYBODY. 
          THAT'S UNANIMOUS ON IT. NOW WE GO TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR. 
          [F. CONSENT CALENDAR]
AND DOES ANYBODY WISH TO PULL ANYTHING FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR? I'LL START WITH YOU, COMMISSIONER GALASSI. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO F.3 ON THE UPDATES, EXCEPT THAT I DON'T SEE THEM. OKAY, F.3. HOW ABOUT YOU,
COMMISSIONER LANG? NO, NO, THERE'S NOTHING I WOULD LIKE. COMMISSIONER YOUSUFZAI. 
          NO, I'M OKAY, THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER CALDWELL. I DID HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THE
MINUTES FROM OCTOBER 13TH, BUT I CAN ASK THOSE OFFLINE, AND I'M OKAY TO APPROVE THEM. 
          OKAY, WELL, I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY PULL ALL THE MINUTES. 
          SO IF I CAN GET A MOTION TO JUST APPROVE ITEM F.1 ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR. 
          SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE ARE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR,
PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAY NO OR RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          OKAY, SO IT'S UNANIMOUS AGAIN. WHY DON'T WE START WITH THE MINUTES SINCE IT'S F.2 AND THE. 
          OH, AND WE DID RECEIVE THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR'S REPORT AS PART OF THAT. 
          OKAY, GREAT. WHY DON'T WE GO TO THE MINUTES,
AND I'LL MAKE THIS AS BRIEF AS I CAN. 
          SO THERE'S THREE MINUTES IN THE PACKET. ONE OF THEM IS FROM AUGUST OF 2025,
AND THE OTHER TWO ARE FROM OCTOBER NOVEMBER. SO AS FAR AS THE AUGUST 1ST, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE. 
          WE, IF YOU RECALL, WE ASKED THAT THE AUGUST BE REVISED. 
          [00:05:06]
I REVISED THEM FOR SEPTEMBER. THE, THEN THE CITY MINUTES PERSON CAME BACK AND REVISED THEM
AND ADDED A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW STUFF. 
          FOR OUR LAST MEETING, AND ULTIMATELY I CAME UP WITH,
I THINK, 18 OR 19 CHANGES THAT STILL NEEDED TO BE MADE AND THEY'RE MADE. 
          SO I THINK THAT THE MINUTES FROM AUGUST ARE READY TO BE APPROVED,
UNLESS SOMEBODY HAS A COMMENT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT IT. 
          OKAY. SO, I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AUGUST MINUTES,
AS AMENDED, MULTIPLE TIMES. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. ALL THOSE OPPOSED. 
          OKAY. SO IT'S UNANIMOUS AGAIN. AND THEN WE GET TO THE OCTOBER MINUTES. 
          AND THIS ONE I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER HAVE THE SAME THING,
THE SAME ISSUE. 
          ON PAGE 31 OF OUR PACKET, IT STARTS OFF APPROVED THE ORDER OF AGENDA. 
          THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0-2, WITH COMMISSIONER CALDWELL AND YOUSUFZAI ABSENT. 
          SO WE ONLY HAD FIVE VOTES. SO THIS THERE'S AN INDICATION THAT THERE'S TWO ABSTENTIONS. 
          THERE ISN'T. IT SHOULD BE 5-0, AND THAT IS REFLECTED BOTH IN SECTION D AND E.1 AND F.4 AND F.2. AND THEN RIGHT BEFORE H THERE IS ANOTHER 5-0-2. AND ON ITEM J.1 IS A 5-0-2 TO OPEN THE DISCUSSION. AND THEN THERE'S ONE UNDER, ON PAGE 12 OF 22 ANOTHER 5-0-2. AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER ONE ON PAGE 43, WHICH I AM KIND OF CURIOUS BECAUSE IT HAS A ROLL CALL VOTE ON IT,
AND THEN IT HAS A 5-0-2 VOICE VOTE. 
          SO THEY'RE INCONSISTENT. SO SOMEBODY NEEDS TO FIX THAT. 
          THEN THERE WAS IN L.1 A 5-0-2. ON PAGE 45 AT THE BOTTOM THERE'S ANOTHER 5-0-2. 
          ON PAGE 50, THERE'S ANOTHER 5-0-2. ON PAGE 51,
THERE'S ANOTHER 5-0-2. AND ON PAGE 52 IN THE O, IT'S AGAIN ANOTHER 5-0-2. 
          SO THOSE NEED TO BE CHANGED AND AMENDED. AND THIS IS JUST A GENERAL QUESTION. 
          SO, WE HAVE SOMEBODY BEING, PEOPLE BEING SWORN IN TO TESTIFY,
BUT WE DON'T MAKE A NOTE THAT THEY'RE UNDER OATH ANYWHERE IN HERE. THEY MAY NOT HAVE TESTIFIED ULTIMATELY,
BUT WE DID HAVE ONE PERSON THAT ACTUALLY DID TAKE THE OATH AND TESTIFIED THAT PERSON'S NAME SHOULD BE REFLECTED, THAT THEY TOOK THE OATH AND THEIR NAME IS IN THE ACTUAL MINUTES
PART OF IT. 
          SO THAT'S MY CONCERNS WITH THE OCTOBER MINUTES. 
          CAN WE GET A MOTION TO UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE HAS ANY COMMENTS ON IT. 
          AND I THINK YOU SAID YOU HAD A COMMENT ON OCTOBER,
COMMISSIONER CALDWELL? NO, IT WAS AUGUST. OKAY. BUT I'LL ASK THAT OFFLINE. 
          OKAY. SO, CAN I GET A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES,
APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR OCTOBER 2025 WITH THE CORRECTIONS TO THE VOTES. MOTION TO APPROVE. THANK YOU,
IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          OKAY, WHY DON'T WE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          I'M GOING TO ABSTAIN SINCE I DIDN'T PARTICIPATE IN THAT MEETING. 
          OKAY. I DIDN'T PARTICIPATE IN THE OCTOBER MEETING,
BUT I'M OKAY WITH APPROVING IT. 
          YOU'RE WHAT? I'M OKAY WITH APPROVING IT. OKAY,
SO. 
          AND YOU RAISED YOUR HAND TOO. SO IT'S 4-0-1 AND IT'S APPROVED. 
          IN NOVEMBER WE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE IN THE NOVEMBER MINUTES. 
          STARTING WITH ITEM D. 6-0-1 VOICE VOTE. MCCAULEY WAS ABSENT,
SO IT SHOULD BE 6-0. 
          SAME THING WITH ITEM E.1. SAME THING WITH ITEM F.5. 
          THERE'S ON PAGE 55. IN ITEM F.2 IT SAYS THAT THERE'S A 5-1-1 
          [00:10:04]
VOTE, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. WELL, COMMISSIONER MCCAULEY WAS ABSENT,
SO IT SHOULD BE 5 TO 1. 
          SAME THING WITH THE NEXT ONE ON THAT PAGE RIGHT BEFORE F.5,
IT SAYS 5-1-1 VOICE, VOICE VOTE, I BELIEVE. COMMISSIONER CALDWELL. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ABSTAINED. 
          SO IT SHOULD BE 5-0-1 ON THAT ONE. THEN ON PAGE 6 OF 21, RIGHT BEFORE H, IT SAYS 6 TO 1 BY VOICE VOTE. 
          I THINK IT'S 6-0, GIVEN THAT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY VOTED AGAINST IT. 
          AND THE SAME THING WITH REGARDS TO PAGE 10 OF 21 RIGHT BEFORE L.2 IT'S 6 TO 1. 
          I'M NOT SURE THAT'S THE RIGHT NUMBER. AND THEN WE GO TO PAGE 14 OF 21, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE IT'S 6 TO 1,
I'M NOT SURE THAT SHOULD BE 6-0. SAME THING ON PAGE 17 OF 21. 
          IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE IS ANOTHER VOTE. AND THEN ON PAGE 71,
RIGHT BEFORE L.4, THERE'S ANOTHER VOTE THAT AGAIN SHOULD BE 6-0. AND THEN THE SAME THING ON ITEM O,
IT SHOULD BE 6-0. 
          THE OTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO RAISE. 
          NOVEMBER. ON THE MIDDLE OF PAGE 63, IT SAYS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR MARC WIENER
RESPONDED THAT HE WAS NOT SURE NEEDED TO GET BACK TO THE COMMISSION WITH AN ANSWER. IT NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED WHAT HE'S GETTING BACK
TO US WITH. 
          AND OKAY, YOU CAN SEE THAT MINUTES ARE KIND OF SOMETHING I DO TAKE AS AN IMPORTANT THING. 
          AND I THINK I MENTIONED TO YOU BRIEFLY THAT SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THAT'S USED IS KIND OF
STRANGE. 
          LIKE I'M LOOKING AT PAGE 64 WHERE IT SAYS COMMISSIONER LANG WONDERED IF IT MEANT
RECOMMENDING A STUDY, AND THEY REALLY SHOULD HAVE MORE STERILE LANGUAGE. 
          SHE ASKED. SHE REQUESTED SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES I MENTIONED "MENTIONED" IS ONE THAT
JUST IRRITATES ME OR "OPINED" WHEN WE'RE NOT GIVING AN OPINION, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS MINUTES GET TO YOU. 
          ULTIMATELY, IF YOU THINK WE NEED A MINUTES COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THE LANGUAGE BEFORE IT GETS
TO THE COMMISSION, WE CAN DO THAT AS WELL. I'M SORRY, CAN YOU, WHERE WAS THAT? WHAT, THE WONDER? PAGE 64. IS 64. 64, I ONLY HAVE 21 PAGES HERE. 
          OKAY, IT'S 12 OF 21 IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT SIDE OF THE PAGE. 
          THANK YOU. IT'S THE SECOND PARAGRAPH. OR ACTUALLY THE FIRST FULL PARAGRAPH. 
          OKAY. I THINK THAT'S MY RANT ON THE MINUTES. CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES,
AS AMENDED? MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES, AS AMENDED. OKAY,
IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? OKAY. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT AT ALL ON ANY OF THESE MINUTES? THERE ARE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS. CAN I GET A SHOW OF HANDS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE MINUTES RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          OKAY. ANYBODY OPPOSED? ABSTAIN. OKAY, SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S UNANIMOUS AGAIN. 
          AND IF YOU RELAY TO THE MINUTES, SECRETARY, I KNOW YOU SAID THAT SHE WATCHES THE THING,
BUT THE VOTE COUNT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE PROCESS. SO THAT'S OUR RECORD ULTIMATELY, BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE CRAZY
ENOUGH TO WATCH THE VIDEO ALL THE WAY THROUGH. 
          OKAY, SO THAT'S, NOW WE'LL GO TO F.3. YOU, THAT'S YOURS COMMISSIONER GALASSI,
DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OR. YES, THIS IS ON THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT. 
          THE REPORT, THE HISTORICAL PARKS AND RECREATION ACTIVITIES. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT REPORT TOGETHER. 
          I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD JUST EXPAND A LITTLE BIT ON THE ALTA VISTA PICKLEBALL
PROJECT. 
          I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE PICKLEBALL COMMUNITY HAS THE MOST UP TO DATE BASED
ON OUR CONVERSATIONS. 
          [00:15:06]
SURE. SO, THE, JUST TO KIND OF FOR FOUNDATIONAL INFORMATION,
IF YOU'LL RECALL, THE ALTA VISTA PICKLEBALL PROJECT INCLUDES RESURFACING OF ALL EIGHT OF THE EXISTING TENNIS COURTS IN THAT PROCESS. 
          ONE OF THOSE TENNIS COURTS WILL BE RESTRIPED AND BECOME FOUR PERMANENT PICKLEBALL COURTS. 
          SO THERE WILL BE SEVEN TENNIS COURTS AND THEN FOUR PICKLEBALL COURTS IN THAT CURRENT
SPACE. 
          AND SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE THROUGH THE WORK OF THE PICKLEBALL SUBCOMMITTEE,
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON SOME OF THE USE POLICIES, SO WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE MORE ON THAT AND PROBABLY HERE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS OR SO. 
          BUT ON THE STAFF SIDE, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE PREFERRED VENDOR. 
          THE QUOTES THAT WE HAD RECEIVED, WE RECEIVED QUOTES FROM THREE VENDORS TO COMPLETE THAT
FULL SCOPE. 
          ALL THREE QUOTES CAME IN VERY HIGH, A LOT HIGHER THAN THEY HAD THE YEAR PRIOR WHEN WE
REQUESTED THE FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT. 
          AND SO WE WORKED WITH TWO OF THE VENDORS TO TRY TO NEGOTIATE A COST DOWN. 
          WE KIND OF REFRAMED THE SCOPE A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO REFINE ONE OF THOSE
QUOTES INTO A MUCH MORE COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT AND A MUCH MORE REASONABLE COST. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS STILL OVER THE PRICE THAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY
ALLOCATED. 
          SINCE THEN, OUR TEAM HAS LOOKED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES WE THOUGHT WE HAD ONE
IDENTIFIED TO TO KIND OF MEET THAT DELTA. 
          AND UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S KIND OF FALLEN THROUGH. WE THINK WE HAVE IDENTIFIED ANOTHER ONE
WITHIN THE PAST WEEK OR SO, MAYBE TWO WEEKS. IT DOES LOOK LIKE THAT ONE WILL PAN OUT. 
          I DID RECEIVE CONFIRMATION THROUGH THE STATE TODAY THAT WE SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO USE THIS
PROJECT TOWARDS THAT. 
          I DO HAVE A CALL SCHEDULED WITH THEM TO TALK THROUGH THE DETAILS OF THE PROJECT,
JUST TO CONFIRM BEFORE WE GO THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS. 
          SO WE'RE DEFINITELY MAKING SOME HEADWAY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
UNFORTUNATELY, THE DELAY IS JUST WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT LACK OF FUNDING. 
          AS SECONDARY PROJECT TO THIS IS THE PURCHASE OF THE SOUND ABATEMENT FOR THE FENCING THAT
HAS BEEN PURCHASED AND RECEIVED BY OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM. 
          SO THAT WILL BE READY FOR INSTALLATION AS SOON AS WE START REALLY GETTING,
GETTING MOVING FORWARD ON THE PROJECT. 
          AND THAT WILL BE INSTALLED BY OUR TEAM. SO THAT CAN JUST BE PLUG AND PLAY AS SOON AS IT'S
TIME TO GET THAT MOVING FORWARD. 
          SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE QUICK UPDATE IN A NUTSHELL WITH THAT. 
          AND AS I STATED WITH THE PICKLEBALL SUBCOMMITTEE WITH COMMISSIONER GALASSI,
WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK ON THE USE OF THAT PICKLEBALL COURTS, AND WE WILL BE RETURNING IN A FEW MONTHS WITH SOME INFORMATION ON THAT. 
          THANK YOU. JUST AS A FOLLOW UP QUESTION TO THAT DO YOU FEEL THAT AFTER THE PHONE CALL, YOU'LL HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO BE ABLE TO PROCEED WITH AN
APPLICATION? HOW LONG DOES THE APPLICATION PROCESS TAKE? AND YOU HAD EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT WAS THEN A
QUESTION OF US NOT NEEDING TO WAIT FOR THE MONEY TO COME IN, BUT THAT WE WOULD NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT,
YOU KNOW, IF IT'S, IF IT QUALIFIES, IF WE GET THE, YOU KNOW, THE GREEN CHECK MARK THAT IT QUALIFIES,
THEN WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT, AND THEN WE GET REIMBURSED FOR THAT DELTA THAT'S MISSING. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. YES. THE MONEY HAS ALREADY BEEN ALLOTTED TO THE CITY. 
          SO THE CITY HAS ABOUT JUST OVER $100,000 IN PROP 68 FUNDS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE USED IN
CERTAIN PARK IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. 
          MOST RECENTLY, WE USED A LARGER PORTION OF THAT MONEY. 
          WELL, WE HAD A LARGER PORTION TO BEGIN WITH,
BUT WE HAVE MOVED IT DOWN TO ABOUT 100,000. 
          THE PREVIOUS PROJECT WAS THE PERRY PARK PLAYGROUND RESURFACING. 
          SO THAT WAS FULLY FUNDED THROUGH PROP 68. SO THAT MONEY HAS ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED TO THE
CITY. 
          IT'S JUST A MATTER OF US APPLYING FOR IT AND THE STATE VERIFYING THAT IT'S AN ELIGIBLE
EXPENSE. 
          SO IT IS REIMBURSABLE AS YOU STATED. SO WE, IF WE CAN CONFIRM THAT THAT IS AN ELIGIBLE
PROJECT, WE CAN APPLY FOR THAT WHILE WE BEGIN MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR PROJECT. 
          THE CITY WILL ESSENTIALLY JUST PAY FOR THAT DELTA AND THEN WE'LL GET REIMBURSED FOR IT ON
THE BACK END. 
          SO ONCE WE GET THAT CONFIRMATION, WE CAN PRETTY MUCH START MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT
CONTRACT WITH OUR VENDOR TO GET THAT PROJECT MOVING FORWARD. 
          OKAY. SO THERE'S NO THERE'S NO NEED TO THEN GO TO COUNCIL TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS IS
HAPPENING BECAUSE THAT'S ALL BEING TAKEN CARE OF. 
          CORRECT. ALL OF THAT CAN BE DONE ADMINISTRATIVELY. YES. 
          OKAY. SO WE'RE HOPING MAYBE BY JANUARY WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE THE. 
          THAT WOULD BE THE HOPE, YES. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. 
          OF COURSE. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS ORTA? NO. I HAVE A COUPLE MORE. I'M STILL GETTING TEXTS FROM STEVE VILARINO REGARDING 
          [00:20:03]
THE RIVIERA VILLAGE PARK PLAQUES. WHERE IS THAT AT THIS POINT? THAT THAT, I WILL COMPLETELY ADMIT, IS ON ME. 
          I HAD INTENDED ON REACHING OUT TO HIM A FEW WEEKS AGO,
AND JUST WITH OTHER PROJECTS ON THE PLATE, IT JUST COMPLETELY SLIPPED MY MIND. SO I WILL BE SURE TO REACH OUT TO HIM WITH AN UPDATE. 
          ULTIMATELY, WHAT OUR GOAL WOULD BE TO DO IS TO ACTUALLY TAKE YOU UP,
CHAIRPERSON, ON YOUR OFFER TO HELP KIND OF RESEARCH SOME OF THE INFORMATION. 
          AND SO, I WANTED TO SEND YOU OUR WORKING DRAFT OF THE LANGUAGE AND THEN SEE IF YOU CAN
HELP US VERIFY THE HISTORICAL ACCURACY OF IT. 
          AND THEN FROM THERE, WE CAN START MOVING FORWARD WITH GETTING THAT PRODUCED. 
          SO I WILL REACH OUT TO MR. VILARINO THIS WEEK,
AND THEN I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU IN THE NEXT WEEKS, WEEK OR SO WITH THE LANGUAGE. OKAY. AND THE REASON I'M ALSO CURIOUS ABOUT THAT IS BECAUSE
WHEN WE GET TO THE COMMITTEE REPORT, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE ITO PARK SIGN,
AND IT'S GOING TO KIND OF END UP BEING IN A SIMILAR SPOT WHERE THE PERSON WHO'S ULTIMATELY GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE FINAL SAY IS GOING TO BE THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR AND HER
STAFF. 
          SO WE'LL GET TO THAT. DOMINGUEZ PARK, IS THERE ANY UPDATE ON THE PLAYGROUND? I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING, UNFORTUNATELY. OKAY,
AND WILDERNESS PARK, THE HISTORIC LANDMARK WHO IN COMMUNITY SERVICES IS SPEARHEADING THAT. 
          I BELIEVE OUR DIRECTOR IS WORKING ON THAT, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE. 
          SO I CAN CHECK ON THAT. OKAY. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? THERE ARE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          OKAY. CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE ITEM F.3,
RELATED TO THE COMMUNITY SERVICE DEPARTMENT, PARKS AND REC ACTIVITIES. SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          ALL THOSE OPPOSED? ANY ABSTENTIONS? OKAY, SO IT'S UNANIMOUS AGAIN. 
          I'M HOPING NEXT TIME I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE THE HAND COUNT,
SO. 
          OKAY, SO NOW WE MOVE ON TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND NON-AGENDA ITEMS. 
          [H. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]
THIS IS THE SECTION INTENDED TO PROVIDE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO
COMMENT ON ANY SUBJECT THAT DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE AGENDA FOR ACTION. 
          THE SECTION IS LIMITED TO 30 MINUTES. EACH SPEAKER WILL BE AFFORDED THREE MINUTES TO
ADDRESS THE COMMISSION. 
          EACH SPEAKER WILL BE PERMITTED TO SPEAK ONLY ONCE. 
          WRITTEN REQUESTS OF ANY WILL BE CONSIDERED FIRST UNDER THIS SECTION. 
          OR DO WE HAVE ANY WRITTEN REQUESTS? THERE ARE NO ECOMMENTS AND THERE'S NOBODY ONLINE. 
          DOES ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS COMMISSION? NO. GO AHEAD, COME ON UP. AND IT DOES GO UP. WE LOWERED IT FOR YOUR DAUGHTER,
SO. 
          YEAH, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GENERALLY SOME A LITTLE BIT MORE INVESTMENT AND TIME AND THOUGHT
PUT INTO KIND OF JAZZING UP ALTAVISTA. I FEEL LIKE IT'S A HUGE PARK SPACE FOR PEOPLE. 
          I KNOW HALF OF ITS SCHOOL AND THE OTHER HALF OF ITS CITY. 
          I KNOW YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT ADDING PICKLEBALL,
WHICH IS AWESOME, SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT. BUT I FEEL LIKE THE PLAYGROUND THERE IS EXTREMELY, I'M GOING TO CALL IT OVERUSED AND COULD REALLY USE AN OVERHAUL,
WHICH WOULD BE NICE. 
          AND EVEN WHEN SO MANY KIDS FOR REGION 34 AYSO ARE PLAYING THERE,
THERE'S HUNDREDS OF KIDS OUT THERE FOR REGION 34. 
          THEN THERE'S SUNSET BASEBALL. I CAN TELL YOU FROM JUST VISUALLY LOOKING AT IT,
THAT THERE'S A HILLSIDE ON THE BACK OF THE JULIA PARK THERE THAT KIDS ARE RUNNING IN, CONSTANTLY PLAYING AND HAVING A GREAT TIME,
AND IT JUST FEELS LIKE AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY TO LEAN INTO THAT AND MAYBE MAKE IT A SPACE WHERE THE KIDS CAN ENJOY THE KIDS WHO ARE A LITTLE BIT OLDER BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
REALLY PLAY ON THE PLAYGROUND THAT'S REALLY SIZED FOR KIDS WHO ARE LIKE 5 TO 6 YEARS OLD. WHEREAS THAT SPACE COULD BE A NICE PLACE FOR THEM TO WANDER,
MAYBE EVEN LIKE A CONCRETE SLIDE OR SOMETHING. 
          BUT I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE A REALLY COOL OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A COMMISSION COME UP WITH
SOME CONCEPTS, OR THE CITY COME UP WITH CONCEPTS FROM WHAT WE COULD DO WITH SPENDING SOME OF THAT EXTRA
$100,000 ON PARKS. 
          THANK YOU. FOR THE RECORD, COULD YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR US? THANK YOU. MY NAME IS KEVIN LANG. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. 
          AND THE PERSON YOU SHOULD PROBABLY SHOULD TALK TO IS OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY
SERVICES, WHO DOES OVERSEE ALL THE PARK STUFF. SO IF YOU HAVE IDEAS,
PLEASE GIVE IT TO HER. 
          BY THE WAY, DOES THE PARK STILL FLOOD? HAVE THEY FIXED THAT PROBLEM? 
          [00:25:03]
I BELIEVE THEY DID. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY FLOODING ON THAT LAST MAJOR STORM,
SO I THINK WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FIX THAT. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. BEFORE I WALK AWAY. SEPARATE NOTE,
THE GRASS FIELD AT JULIA. 
          I WOULDN'T SAY FLOODING, BUT I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE THE GUYS WHO WATER IT DON'T
NECESSARILY TIME IT WITH LIKE WEATHER, SO I THINK IT STILL GETS WATER WHEN IT, ANYWAYS. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO ADDRESS THE GROUP? WE'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO COME DOWN HERE AND SAY SOMETHING. 
          OKAY. AND YOU SAID THERE'S NOBODY ONLINE. THERE'S NOBODY ONLINE. 
          THERE ARE NO ECOMMENTS. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO CONCLUDE THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION OF
NON-AGENDA ITEMS. EX PARTY COMMUNICATIONS. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC HEARINGS ON FOR TODAY. 
          SO WE'RE GONE THROUGH THAT AND NOW WE'RE ON ITEM K,
ITEMS CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS AGENDAS. 
          I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYTHING THERE. NO. OKAY. 
          SO WE'RE MOVING ON TO ITEM L, ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION. 
          [L. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION]
AND THE FIRST THING ON THE AGENDA IS A PRESENTATION OUTLINING COMMUNITY SERVICE DEPARTMENT
DIVISION PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION. I BELIEVE THAT'S ONE OF OUR BLUE FOLDER ITEMS THAT YOU SHOULD
BE ABLE TO FIND THAT THERE. 
          AND I THINK YOU HAVE EXTRA COPIES IF WE DON'T. 
          GO AHEAD. THANK YOU. SO I DO HAVE THE PRESENTATION. 
          WE'LL PUT IT UP. THANK YOU. SO YEAH, I APOLOGIZE. 
          YOU HAD RECEIVED THE PRESENTATION SO LATE IN THE DAY TODAY,
THAT WAS NOT THE INTENTION, BUT WE JUST WEREN'T ABLE TO GET IT FINALIZED UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON. SO BUT AS IT IS, AS WE DID MENTION,
IT IS INCLUDED AS A BLUE FOLDER IN THE AGENDA AND WE'LL GO THROUGH IT NOW. 
          SO BEFORE I JUMP INTO SOME OF THE DETAILS HERE,
THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO THE COMMISSION'S I BELIEVE IT WAS LAST MONTH OR THE MONTH PRIOR REQUESTED SOME KIND OF HIGHER LEVEL INFORMATION REGARDING OUR DEPARTMENT,
INCLUDING POTENTIALLY SOME BUDGETARY NUMBERS. 
          SO THIS IS OUR KIND OF FIRST EFFORT AT GIVING YOU SOME OF THIS INFORMATION. 
          AND I'LL TRY AND WALK YOU THROUGH. I'M DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH IT INTO SUPER
DETAIL, ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE NUMBERS, BUT IT'S HERE FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS. 
          MY GOAL IS REALLY JUST TO GIVE YOU A SUPER HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF OUR DEPARTMENT,
OUR VARIOUS DIVISIONS, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY DON'T REALLY MELD TOGETHER. 
          IT'S KIND OF AN INTERESTING MISH MASH OF OF DIFFERENT DIVISIONS. 
          BUT WE DO WORK TOGETHER AS ONE, ONE DEPARTMENT. 
          SO AND AS I GO THROUGH, I WILL HIGHLIGHT THE ITEMS THAT ARE UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE
COMMISSION. 
          SO ON THIS FIRST SLIDE, THIS JUST GIVES YOU A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE FOUR DIVISIONS
WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT. 
          WE HAVE OUR TRANSIT SERVICES, CULTURAL AND PERFORMING ARTS,
OUR HOUSING AUTHORITY AND RECREATION. 
          AND THE UNDER EACH ONE ARE JUST VERY GENERAL OVERVIEW OF EACH OF THESE DIVISIONS. 
          THE ONES THAT ARE IN RED TEXT ARE THE ONES THAT FALL UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE COMMISSION. 
          AND SO AS WE GO THROUGH, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON SOME OF THESE,
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW. 
          I WILL MOST LIKELY JUST FOCUS MORE ON KIND OF MY VERBAL UPDATES FOR THE CULTURAL AND
RECREATION ITEMS, AS THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THIS COMMISSION. 
          BUT LIKE I SAID, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS,
PLEASE LET ME KNOW. 
          BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME KIND OF FOUNDATIONAL INFORMATION HERE,
OUR TRANSIT SERVICES IS ESSENTIALLY OUR BEACH CITIES TRANSIT, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS BCT, AND THAT RUNS THROUGH REDONDO BEACH,
HERMOSA BEACH, MANHATTAN BEACH, AND PARTS OF EL SEGUNDO AS WELL, ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH LAX. 
          AND SO OUR TEAM MANAGES THAT ENTIRE ROUTE SYSTEM AND BUS SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE WAVE
DIAL-A-RIDE. 
          WE DO HAVE OUR TRANSIT CENTER THAT OUR TEAM OVERSEES ALL OF THE CONTRACTS AND MANAGEMENT
OF THAT FACILITY AS WELL. 
          AND SO TRANSIT SERVICES FOR THE BEACH CITIES,
AT LEAST THROUGH BEACH CITIES TRANSIT, IS DONE IN-HOUSE BY RECREATION, EXCUSE ME, BY REDONDO BEACH STAFF. OUR CULTURE AND PERFORMING ARTS DIVISION,
THEY OVERSEE THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AS WELL AS HERITAGE COURT IN THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM. SO HERITAGE COURT INCLUDES THE MORRELL HOUSE AND
THE MUSEUM. 
          WE JUST ITEMIZE THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM ON HERE,
BECAUSE THAT'S THE FACILITY THAT OUR TEAM DIRECTLY OVERSEES. 
          THE MORRELL HOUSE IS DIRECTLY OVERSEEN BY THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 
          OUR THIRD DIVISION IS THE HOUSING AUTHORITY;
THEY RUN OUR SECTION 8 HOUSING AS WELL AS OUR HUD AND CDBG FUNDING MANAGEMENT AND SOME OF OUR ADDITIONAL HOUSING SERVICES FOR OUR HOMELESS POPULATION ON A PERIPHERAL LEVEL. 
          [00:30:01]
AND THEN OUR RECREATION DIVISION IS BY FAR OUR LARGEST DIVISION AND THE ONE THAT IS MOST
CLOSELY TIED TO THIS COMMISSION. 
          IT INCLUDES ALL OF OUR PROGRAMING FOR ALL AGES YOUTH,
SENIORS, ADULTS, ALL OF OUR PARKS AND FACILITIES, SPECIAL EVENTS ALL RUN THROUGH THIS TEAM. ALL OF OUR CLASSES,
CAMPS AND LEAGUES. 
          SO IF YOU SEE OUR QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER ALL OF THOSE ACTIVITIES ARE MANAGED AND PERFORMED
THROUGH OUR RECREATION DIVISION. 
          THEY ALSO OVERSEE PASSPORT SERVICES, BUT THAT ISN'T UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THIS COMMISSION. 
          BUT AGAIN, JUST SO YOU CAN SEE THE FULL BREADTH OF TASKS THAT OUR TEAM OVERALL WORKS ON A
REGULAR BASIS. 
          AND SO JUST TO KIND OF SHOW IT TO YOU IN A DIFFERENT KIND OF VIEW,
THIS IS OUR DEPARTMENT'S ORGANIZATION CHART. 
          AND THE NUMBERS THAT ARE NEXT TO EACH ONE OF THESE,
SO THIS IS BASED OFF OF OUR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES. 
          THE NUMBERS NEXT TO EACH TITLE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT'S ALLOCATED
TO THAT TASK. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES ADMINISTRATION UNDER THE COMMUNITY SERVICES
DIRECTOR SAYS 0.6. 
          SO 0.6% OR EXCUSE ME, 0.6. SORRY, 60%. LET ME LET ME SIMPLIFY THIS. 
          60% OF THE SALARY FOR OUR DIRECTOR COMES FROM OUR ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTS. 
          AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE OTHER ONES ARE KIND OF SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT,
WHICH SHOULD ALSO CARRY OVER INTO THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND RESOURCES THAT ARE DEDICATED FOR THAT POSITION INTO EACH ONE OF THESE DIFFERENT DIVISIONS AND TASKS. 
          SO THIS IS PULLED DIRECTLY FROM OUR BUDGET BOOK. 
          THAT'S WHY IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL. I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE INCLUDED THE NUMBERS
HERE. 
          BUT I DO THINK THAT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF HELPFUL INFORMATION IN AT LEAST SHOWING THE
COMMISSION THAT OUR TEAM IS A LITTLE BIT SPREAD OUT A LITTLE BIT. SO YOU CAN SEE FROM MY POSITION THE DEPUTY COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR,
HALF OF MY SALARY IS THROUGH OUR ADMINISTRATION. 
          SO ABOUT 50% OF MY TIME IS SPENT ON ADMINISTRATION OF OUR DEPARTMENT. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER HALF ACCORDING TO TO THE CHART IS TYPICALLY SPENT ON HOUSING AUTHORITY
ITEMS AND WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY OUR HUD, CDBG PROGRAM. THAT DOESN'T PRECLUDE MYSELF OR ANY OTHER POSITION TO KIND OF CROSS GO INTO
ANY OF THESE OTHER AREAS ON CERTAIN PROJECTS. OUR TEAM IS DEFINITELY, REALLY CROSSES OVER INTO ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT AREAS. 
          AND SO YOU CAN SEE HERE, ALL OF OUR TEAMS HAVE VARIOUS FULL-TIME TEAMS THAT WORK
UNDERNEATH THEM. 
          AND FOR EACH OF THE TASKS ON HERE, I WON'T GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL HERE,
BUT I THINK THIS WAS A DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT IT VISUALLY AND SEE KIND OF HOW IT HOW IT LAYS OUT WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT OVERALL. 
          THIS IS TIED DIRECTLY TO THE BUDGETARY BREAKDOWN OF OUR DEPARTMENT. 
          AND WE'LL GET INTO THE NUMBERS IN JUST A MINUTE. 
          BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE OUR HOUSING AND TRANSIT DIVISIONS DEFINITELY HAVE THE LARGEST BUDGET. 
          BOTH OF THOSE ARE FEDERALLY FUNDED. AND SO THOSE DO NOT PULL ANY GENERAL FUNDS FOR THE
SUPPORT OF EITHER ONE OF THOSE DIVISIONS. 
          THE ADMINISTRATION, CULTURAL AND PERFORMING ARTS AND RECREATION DIVISIONS ARE PULLED FROM
OUR GENERAL FUND. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE SMALLER PIECES OF THE PIE. AND LIKE I SAID,
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET TOO FAR INTO THE NUMBERS. 
          I OBVIOUSLY GIVE YOU A BIT OF A GENERAL OVERVIEW. 
          ALL OF THESE NUMBERS CAN BE PULLED DIRECTLY FROM OUR BUDGET BOOK. 
          SO IF YOU DO HAVE ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR QUESTIONS,
PLEASE LET ME KNOW. 
          SO FOR OUR TRANSIT DIVISION, JUST TO KIND OF ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE FLAVOR INTO THE PIE
CHART, WE JUST SAW THE TOTAL TRANSIT BUDGET IS JUST ABOUT $7.5 MILLION,
JUST OVER $7.5 MILLION. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN THERE BETWEEN PERSONNEL MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS OR M AND
O, OUR INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ALLOCATIONS AND THEN OTHER FINANCING USES. 
          AND SO ALL OF THE SLIDES THAT WE GO THROUGH WILL HAVE PRETTY MUCH THESE FOUR CATEGORIES. 
          A LOT OF THEM ONLY HAVE THREE. BUT JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT AS WE GO THROUGH HERE. 
          AND WE KIND OF TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT OUR TRANSIT DIVISION DOES,
BUT YOU CAN SEE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HERE OF SOME OF THE REGULAR TASKS, THE DATE THAT THEY DO AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. 
          OUR HOUSING DIVISION IS JUST OVER $9.5 MILLION. 
          THIS IS REALLY BECAUSE THEY MANAGE OUR SECTION 8 HOUSING,
SO THEY DO RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE BULK OF THIS MONEY DOES GO TO,
WHICH FALLS UNDER THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS SECTION FOR HERE. 
          AND I WON'T GET INTO TOO MUCH HERE BECAUSE THE HOUSING ISN'T PART OF THIS COMMISSION. 
          AND HERE WE'LL SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AT LEAST ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THESE AREAS. 
          AND SO IF YOU REMEMBER THAT ORG CHART, THE ADMINISTRATION BUDGET IS 9.,
OR EXCUSE ME, $965,000. 
          [00:35:06]
THIS IS NOT JUST FOR OUR, FOR TWO SALARIES. THIS DOES INCLUDE ADDITIONAL SALARIES THROUGH
THE DEPARTMENT. 
          WE HAVE PART TIME EMPLOYEES. WE HAVE OTHER FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. 
          AND SO I JUST DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO SEE THAT 755,000 AND THINK THAT WAS JUST SPLIT BETWEEN
MYSELF AND THE DIRECTOR. 
          IT'S DEFINITELY SPLIT BETWEEN A MUCH LARGER NUMBER OF TEAM MEMBERS. 
          WE JUST DIDN'T INCLUDE ALL OF THOSE DETAILS HERE AT THIS TIME. 
          AND, BUT THIS IS KIND OF THE OVERARCHING ADMINISTRATION OF OUR DEPARTMENT. 
          THIS IS THE LARGER PROJECTS THE DAY TO DAY INVOICING,
PAYROLL. 
          I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF THE MORE DAY TO DAY ADMINISTRATION ITEMS FALL INTO THIS BUCKET. 
          IF WE LOOK AT OUR RECREATION DIVISION, THEY HAVE JUST OVER $5.7 MILLION IN THEIR BUDGET. 
          AGAIN, THE BULK OF THIS IS IN THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS AND INTERNAL SERVICE FUND
ALLOCATIONS. 
          AND SO, OR EXCUSE ME, THE PERSONNEL IS BY FAR THE LARGEST. 
          SO THIS INCLUDES I SHOULD SAY SEASONALLY WE COULD HAVE UP TO I THINK WE'RE ABOUT ANYWHERE
BETWEEN 100 AND 20 5 TO 150 PART TIME EMPLOYEES SEASONALLY. WHEN SEASIDE LAGOON IS OPEN BETWEEN OUR
LIFEGUARDS, MAINTENANCE STAFF, ALL OF OUR CAMP STAFF, IT'S,
WE HAVE A LARGE TEAM OVERALL. 
          AND SO THE PERSONNEL NUMBER DEFINITELY SEEMS BIG,
BUT IT GETS USED. 
          LET ME TELL YOU THE NUMBER OF PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE TO SERVICE. 
          SO THIS IS JUST AN OVERVIEW OF KIND OF WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. 
          I SHOULD PROBABLY PAUSE FOR A MOMENT. AND THE INTERNAL SERVICE FUND FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT
BE FAMILIAR. 
          THOSE ARE, THAT'S JUST ONE LARGE POT OF MONEY THAT'S USED INTERNALLY FOR OTHER USES. 
          SO, FOR EXAMPLE, OUR IT SERVICES THOSE ARE INTERNAL SERVICES. 
          AND SO TO TO PAY AND HAVE THEM SUPPORT US AND TO ALSO KIND OF ESTIMATE WHAT TYPE OF
EQUIPMENT WE'RE GOING TO NEED AND WHAT TYPE OF ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WE'LL NEED FROM THE DAY TO DAY THAT GOES INTO OUR INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ALLOCATIONS. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THAT IS. WE CAN TALK MORE INTO THAT IF YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS. 
          BUT A LOT OF TIMES THAT INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ALLOCATIONS AND YOU'LL SEE THIS WITH THE
RBPAC. 
          IT'S A VERY HIGH NUMBER, BUT IT'S THERE IS SOME CROSSOVER WITH OTHER DEPARTMENT BUDGETS. 
          ACTUALLY, THIS IS A CROSSOVER WITH OTHER DEPARTMENT BUDGETS. 
          SO, JUST KNOW THAT THAT'S KIND OF HOW THAT FUNCTIONS. 
          AND SO FOR RECREATION WE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THESE. 
          BUT I DO JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SOME ADDITIONAL WHEN I SAY YOUTH AND ADULT PROGRAMING. 
          THOSE ARE OUR USER PAY ACTIVITIES. THOSE ARE,
YOU KNOW, THE KARATE CLASSES THAT YOU REGISTER FOR. 
          THOSE ARE THE ART CLASSES, COOKING, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. 
          ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS, CAMPS AND OUR ADULT SPORT LEAGUES,
AND THEN HOPEFULLY SOON TO BE SOME PICKLEBALL LEAGUES IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 
          THAT INCLUDES OUR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, WHICH IS FAR EXCEEDING OUR EXPECTATIONS. 
          OUR NUMBERS CONTINUE TO GROW IN THAT PROGRAM. 
          AND SO THAT'S THAT'S ANOTHER LARGE ONE. AND THEN AGAIN,
OUR SUMMER CAMPS AND SEASONAL CAMPS, WE HAVE SOME FOR THANKSGIVING, TYPICALLY FOR THE LARGER VACATION CAMPS THAT WE HAVE
THROUGH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          THIS TEAM ALSO OVERSEES ALL OF OUR FACILITIES. 
          AND SO THAT INCLUDES ALTAVISTA AVIATION PARK,
GYMNASIUM, PLUS THE TRACK AND FIELD WILDERNESS PARK. 
          WE ALSO HAVE ARTESIA CENTER, WHICH IS OUR FACILITY,
BUT WE DO HAVE A CLASSROOM IN THE BACK OF THAT FACILITY THAT WE DO RUN CLASSES FROM. 
          WE HAVE THREE SENIOR CENTERS. OUR TEAM ALSO OVERSEES THE VETERANS PARK COMMUNITY CENTER
AND HISTORIC LIBRARY, WHICH IS LEASED TO A CONCESSIONAIRE. BUT OUR TEAM OVERSEES THAT LEASE AND WORKS WITH THE
CONCESSIONAIRE. 
          AT THIS TIME, TRYING TO GET THE FACILITY OPEN. BUT MOVING FORWARD,
WE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE THAT MAIN POINT OF CONTACT FOR THAT FACILITY. 
          WE DO HAVE OUR NEWLY OPENED TEEN CENTER AND THEN OBVIOUSLY OUR SEASIDE LAGOON. 
          IN ADDITION TO THE FACILITIES, WE ALSO OVERSEE AND PROGRAM THE USAGE OF ALL OF OUR PARKS. 
          SO OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS HANDLES THE MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL UPKEEP. 
          BUT WE DO ALL OF THE PROGRAMING. AND SO WHEN I SAY FACILITIES IN,
IN, IN, IN OUR OFFICE, THAT TYPICALLY MEANS PARKS AND THE PHYSICAL FACILITIES KIND OF FALLS INTO THAT BUCKET. RECREATION, AS I STATED,
ALSO OVERSEES PASSPORT SERVICES. 
          SO WE ARE IN A LICENSED PASSPORT ACCEPTANCE AGENCY. 
          AND SO OUR TEAM OVERSEES THAT WHOLE PROCESS,
WHICH IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM RECREATION, BUT CERTAINLY A COMMUNITY SERVICE THAT IS HIGHLY NEEDED. 
          OUR OFFICE, OUR APPOINTMENTS ARE VERY BUSY. WE ALWAYS HAVE TYPICALLY WAITLISTS FOR PEOPLE
TO COME IN. 
          IF THERE'S ANY CANCELLATIONS. AND SO THIS IS A REALLY VALUABLE SERVICE THAT WE PROVIDE
THAT ISN'T TYPICAL FOR RECREATION, BUT SOMETHING ELSE THAT OUR TEAM OVERSEES. OUR QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER,
WHICH SOME OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH. 
          [00:40:03]
THAT'S OUR CURRENTLY IT'S AN ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER,
BUT IT INCLUDES ALL OF OUR CLASSES, CAMPS, ACTIVITIES, EVENTS THAT ARE UPCOMING IN THAT SEASONAL OR,
EXCUSE ME, IN THAT QUARTER ALL OF THE SPECIAL EVENTS, AS I STATED, RUN THROUGH OUR OFFICE AND THAT'S BOTH INTERNAL. 
          WE HAVE, I BELIEVE IT'S THREE MAIN SIGNATURE EVENTS THAT WE DO INTERNALLY WITH OUR
DEPARTMENT, SUCH AS PUMPKINS IN THE PARK OR AT THE, BY THE SEA,
DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION. 
          WE DO THE EASTER EGG EXTRAVAGANZA. AND THEN WE DO HELP SUPPORT LET IT SNOW,
WHICH JUST RECENTLY HAPPENED, AS WELL AS ALL SPECIAL EVENT PERMITTING. SO THOSE ARE THE PRIVATE EVENTS OR EVENTS. 
          I SHOULDN'T SAY PRIVATE EVENTS, THEY ARE USUALLY COMMUNITY EVENTS,
BUT THEY'RE COORDINATED AND SPONSORED BY PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS. 
          SO SUCH AS THE SUPER BOWL 10-K OR YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE OTHER EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE ON,
ON CITY PROPERTY OR PUBLIC PROPERTY. 
          AND THEN OBVIOUSLY OUR SENIOR AND FAMILY SERVICES,
AS I STATED, WE HAVE THREE SENIOR CENTERS AND THERE'S ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS GOING ON AT ALL OF THOSE FACILITIES ON A DAILY BASIS. AND THOSE CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN PARTICIPATION
AS WELL. 
          SO OUR CULTURAL AND PERFORMING ARTS DIVISION HAS JUST OVER $1.7 MILLION BUDGET. 
          AGAIN, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ISF OR THE INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS IS THE LARGEST NUMBER HERE. 
          BUT OUR PERSONNEL DOES INCLUDE A MIX OF FULL TIME AS WELL AS PART TIME EMPLOYEES. 
          WE HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN TO A REALLY GOOD PLACE WITH OUR PERSONNEL THERE. 
          THE CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN VERY GENEROUS IN ALLOWING US TO REALLY BUILD OUR FULL-TIME TEAM
SO THAT THE FACILITY CAN GET A LITTLE BIT MORE ATTENTION ON A REGULAR BASIS, AS WELL AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT TO GET SOME PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD AND SOME
ENHANCEMENTS DONE TO THE FACILITY. 
          SO WE'RE REALLY, REALLY HAPPY AND THANKFUL FOR THAT. 
          AND SO THAT'S, WE'RE JUST HAPPY THAT THAT NUMBER HAS GROWN TO WHERE IT IS TODAY. 
          AS I STATED FOR THIS DIVISION, IT'S ESSENTIALLY OVERSEEING THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. 
          THIS IS, OUR MANAGER HERE IS JACK MEYER, WHO YOU HAVE SEEN AT THE COMMISSION. 
          HE OVERSEES OUR HISTORICAL COMPONENTS TO THE CITY. 
          AND SO HE OVERSEES THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION,
OR I SHOULD SAY, EXCUSE ME, HE'S THE LIAISON FOR. 
          BUT HE DIRECTLY OVERSEES HERITAGE COURT, WHICH,
AGAIN, IS THE LOCATION OF THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM AND THE MORRELL HOUSE LOCATED AT DOMINGUEZ PARK. SO THAT WHOLE LITTLE AREA WITH THE ROSE GARDEN AND THE FOUNTAIN,
THAT'S CONSIDERED HERITAGE COURT. 
          AND SO JACK IS OUR MAIN POINT OF CONTACT FOR THAT. 
          AND SO HE OVERSEES THE DOCENTS AND THE FACILITY ITSELF DOWN THERE. 
          AND SO FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS COMMISSION, HERITAGE COURT AND THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM AND
MORRELL HOUSE FALL UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THIS COMMISSION. 
          I DO JUST WANT TO CAVEAT, I KNOW I QUICKLY MENTIONED IT,
BUT THE MORRELL HOUSE IS DIRECTLY MANAGED THROUGH A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE REDONDO BEACH HISTORICAL SOCIETY. AND SO WE DON'T DIRECTLY DO MUCH PROGRAMING THERE. 
          BUT THERE IS A LOT OF CROSS COLLABORATION, AND I THINK THAT'S CONTINUING TO GROW. 
          I THINK THAT RELATIONSHIP HAS DEFINITELY GROWN OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN
HERE, AND SO WE'RE HAPPY WITH THAT. AND SO WHEN IT COMES TO STAFF PURPOSES,
IT'S THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM AND HERITAGE COURT THAT WE DIRECTLY OVERSEE ON A DAY TO DAY, BUT HAVE A LOT OF COLLABORATION WITH THE MORRELL HOUSE TEAM. 
          SO WITH THAT, UNFORTUNATELY JACK IS ILL TONIGHT,
BUT HE WANTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE MUSEUM. 
          HIM AND HIS TEAM HAVE PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THE FACILITY OVER THE PAST YEAR,
AND HE PUT TOGETHER SOME SLIDES HERE TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE MOST RECENTLY, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THEY'VE DONE THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY. I'M
PROBABLY NOT GOING TO DO IT THE JUSTICE THAT JACK WOULD HAVE DONE IT, BUT I'M GOING TO TRY AND GO THROUGH THESE SLIDES JUST TO SHARE SOME OF THIS WORK THAT HE'S
INCREDIBLY PROUD OF. 
          AND SO THIS IS THE HALLOWEEN EVENT THAT THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM AND MORRELL HOUSE HOSTED. 
          THESE ARE PHOTOS FROM INSIDE THE MORRELL HOUSE. 
          IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THERE I DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY VERY WELL DONE. AND SO WHAT THEY DID SOME DECORATIONS,
OBVIOUSLY OPENED THEIR DOORS TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          THEY DID A HALLOWEEN CONTEST AND, AS WELL AS HAD TREATS FOR,
FOR ALL OF THE VISITORS. 
          AND SO THESE ARE JUST SOME PHOTOS OF OUR PRESIDENT OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY,
I BELIEVE, CHRISTINA. 
          AS WELL AS SOME OF THE DECOR THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. 
          AND THESE ARE OUR TWO DOCENTS AT THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM. 
          THIS IS TONY AND KATRINA. THEY, SINCE THEY HAVE COME ON BOARD,
HAVE DONE TREMENDOUS WORK AND REALLY TRYING TO STREAMLINE AND ORGANIZE AND REALLY MOVE THINGS FORWARD IN THE MUSEUM. AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT. BUT
WE WANTED TO HAVE A MOMENT TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THEM AND THANK THEM. 
          THIS WAS THEM AT HALLOWEEN. THEY CAME A BIT DRESSED UP AND SO WE APPRECIATED THEIR
ENTHUSIASM FOR THE EVENT. 
          [00:45:07]
AND SO SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE IS THEY HAVE REALLY LOOKED AT SOME OF
THE EXISTING DISPLAY CASES THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING AND TRIED TO CLEAN, REORGANIZE THEM AND TRIED TO MAKE THEM KIND OF FLOW A LITTLE BIT EASIER FOR EASE OF
VIEWING. 
          AND SO THESE ARE JUST SOME QUICK SAMPLES OF,
OF THE, OF THE EXHIBITS THROUGHOUT THAT THEY HAVE WORKED ON AND KIND OF REORGANIZED AND REDISPLAYED IT'S KIND OF HARD TO GO TOO MUCH DETAIL HERE BECAUSE THE PICTURES ARE PRETTY
SMALL. 
          BUT IF YOU EVER HAVE A CHANCE TO GO, IT'S DEFINITELY BEEN A BIG IMPROVEMENT ON REALLY
MAKING THESE DISPLAYS POP A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          SOMETHING ELSE THAT THEY'VE BEEN REALLY HAPPY THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IS THIS FLIP
PANEL. 
          IF SOME OF YOU REMEMBER LONG TIME AGO IN THE STORIES,
THEY USED TO HAVE THE LATEST POSTERS AND THESE KIND OF FLIP BOOKS THAT YOU'D KIND OF GO THROUGH, I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE THEM ANYMORE. WE HAD ONE OF THOSE IN THE MUSEUM,
AND THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY TO DISPLAY NEWSPAPER ARTICLES OR OTHER TYPES OF, YOU KNOW, FLAT MATERIAL. AND SO SOME OF THOSE FLIPBOARD'S WERE OLD AND DETERIORATING. 
          AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO REPLACE AS WELL AS CLEAN UP SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE INSIDE AND
ESSENTIALLY REORGANIZE SOME OF IT, AGAIN, TO MAKE IT VISUALLY LOOK A LITTLE BIT CLEANER AND MAKE THE INFORMATION FLOW
A LITTLE BIT. 
          THERE WERE ALSO SOME MISSING PANELS, SO WE WERE MISSING OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR
ADDITIONAL DISPLAY ROOM, OR DISPLAY SPACE, EXCUSE ME, AND SO THEY DID SOME WORK THERE TO FURTHER ENHANCE THAT THAT
SYSTEM, TO USE IT TO THE FULLEST CAPABILITY. THE SAINT JAMES CHURCH STAINED GLASS WINDOWS. 
          THEY HAVE CLEANED THAT PUTS A LITTLE ELBOW GREASE INTO IT,
MADE IT SPARKLE A LITTLE BIT. 
          AND WE'RE ABLE TO INSTALL A BACKLIGHT SYSTEM TO BETTER SHOW THE COLORS FROM,
FROM THE STAINED GLASS. 
          SO THIS DISPLAY IS JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE STRIKING,
A LITTLE BIT MORE EYE CATCHING WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE BUILDING. 
          HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE LIGHTING THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. 
          THE TRACK LIGHTING SYSTEM THROUGHOUT HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO LED. 
          IT'S CERTAINLY HELPED VISUALLY WITH A LOT OF THE DISPLAYS ON THE WALLS. 
          THEY WERE ABLE TO REFOCUS A LOT OF THE LIGHTS TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THE
THE HIGHEST USE OF THOSE LIGHTS FOR ALL OF THE DISPLAYS. 
          AND OF COURSE, IT'S MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT. AND SO THAT'S ALWAYS A BONUS. 
          WE ALSO HAVE HAD SOME NEW EXHIBITS. THIS IS ONE THAT IS FOR MARY DAVIES. 
          SHE WAS AN AUTO RACER AND A STUNT DRIVER, AND SHE WAS THE FOUNDER OF PORTOFINO HOTEL. 
          SO THERE IS THIS KIND OF SHADOW BOX DISPLAY IN THE MUSEUM FOR HER. 
          AND SO OUR TEAM HAS BEEN REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY NOW THAT SOME OF THE
EXISTING DISPLAYS HAVE BEEN REWORKED A LITTLE BIT TO LOOK AND TO SEE IF THERE'S SOME ENHANCED DISPLAYS THAT WE COULD DO OR SOME NEW ONES. 
          WE HAD A GOOD COLLECTION OF ITEMS THAT HAD NEVER BEEN SHOWN BEFORE FOR VARIOUS REASONS. 
          AND SO OUR TEAM HAS BEEN EXCITED TO FINALLY HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF DIG IN AND
REIMAGINE SOME OF THESE DISPLAYS FOR THE COMMUNITY. 
          WE ALSO FOUND SOME EXHIBIT OR PUT TOGETHER SOME EXHIBITS ABOUT OLYMPIC GAMES. 
          AND SO NOT NECESSARILY TIED SPECIFICALLY TO REDONDO BEACH,
BUT ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE OLYMPICS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS IN LA. 
          THEY, WE WERE ABLE TO TRACK DOWN SOME 1932 RECONSTRUCTED LOCAL PAPER ARTICLES ABOUT THE
OLYMPICS, AS WELL AS A 1984 THERE WAS A SET OF COMMEMORATIVE TRANSIT TOKENS. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THOSE ARE DIRECTLY REDONDO TRANSIT OPERATIONS,
BUT AGAIN, IT'S KIND OF A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 
          THERE'S SOME TIE TO REDONDO BEACH IN THAT, BUT THIS WAS ANOTHER EXCITING DISPLAY THAT OUR
TEAM WAS ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER. 
          AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE ONE THAT OUR TEAM SEEMS TO BE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT IS WE WERE ABLE
TO TRACK DOWN AN 1889 DEED OF SALE FOR THE PLOT OF LAND THAT WAS SOLD TO THE REDONDO BEACH COMPANY. 
          THIS WAS SIGNED BY THE THREE DAUGHTERS OF MANUEL DOMINGUEZ. 
          AND SO IT ESSENTIALLY BECAME THIS PLOT OF LAND ESSENTIALLY BECAME THE ORIGINAL REDONDO
BEACH TOWN SITE. 
          AND SO THESE ARE SOME REALLY COOL DOCUMENTS THAT OUR TEAM IS WORKING ON GETTING TO
DISPLAY. 
          AND IT'S THERE IS A PROCESS FOR THIS. IT'S NOT SO SIMPLE AS JUST PUTTING IT INTO A FRAME. 
          THERE'S SOME DOCUMENTATION AS WELL AS SOME ARCHIVAL PROCESSES THAT NEED TO TAKE PLACE. 
          AND SO OUR TEAM IS WORKING ON THAT SO THAT WE CAN CERTAINLY PRESERVE ALL OF THESE ITEMS. JUST GENERALLY SOME OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. 
          A LOT OF CLEANING THE WALLS AND WINDOWS, SOME SIGNS HAVE BEEN REPAINTED,
JUST SOME KIND OF GENERAL UPKEEP. 
          [00:50:07]
WE TALKED ABOUT IMPROVING THE EXHIBITS, BUT OUR TEAM HAS ALSO GONE AS FAR AS IMPROVING
SOME OF THE LABELS. 
          SO IF YOU REMEMBER, IN SOME OF THE EXHIBITS,
THERE WAS LITTLE LIKE ADDRESS LABEL SIZED PAPERS SOMETIMES ON SOME OF THE ITEMS. AND SO JUST FOR CONSISTENCY AND TO STANDARDIZE THINGS. 
          THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON REPLACING THOSE LABELS WITH THE STANDARD SIZE,
STANDARD TEXT, STANDARD FONT, TO REALLY JUST GET THE MUSEUM TO KIND OF TAKE IT UP,
JUST JUST AN EXTRA NOTCH. 
          AND SO REALLY ORGANIZING THE SPACE, BUT THEN ALSO VISUALLY,
KIND OF COMPREHENSIVELY LINKING ALL OF THE ITEMS TOGETHER. 
          YOU'VE SEEN IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS SOME PROMOTIONAL FLIERS HAVE BEEN SHARED WITH YOU TO
PROMOTE EITHER THE BUILDING ITSELF OR SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT THE TEAM HAS BEEN PUTTING ON. AND SO THEY WILL CONTINUE TO TO GET THOSE FLIERS OUT TO THE PUBLIC. 
          CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE MUSEUM INVENTORY. I CAN SAY THIS WAS NO EASY FEAT. 
          THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF INVENTORY FOR THE MUSEUM IN THE FACILITY ITSELF,
AS WELL AS IN OUR STORAGE AT THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. 
          SO OUR TEAM HAS GONE THROUGH AND PERFORMED A COMPREHENSIVE INVENTORY OF ALL OF OUR
MATERIALS FOR THE MUSEUM. 
          AND SO THAT THAT WAS A BIG WIN FOR OUR TEAM AND VERY PROUD THAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO
COMPLETE THAT. 
          AND THEY'VE ALSO DONE SOME RESEARCH ON SOME NATIVE AMERICAN RELICS. 
          AND SO THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF, OF RELICS IN THE,
IN THE MUSEUM. 
          AND SO THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH INTO THAT. AND LIKELY WE'LL BE
WORKING ON A NEW DISPLAY FOR THAT. 
          AND THEN PROBABLY THE MOST EXCITING, THEY'VE HELPED INCREASE MUSEUM VISITATION. 
          ALL OF THIS WORK WOULD BE FOR NOTHING IF WE DIDN'T HAVE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC COME IN AND
ENJOY THIS, THESE MATERIALS. AND SO THEY'LL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD,
DO ALL, OF, ALL OF THEIR EFFORTS TO TRY TO GET THAT FACILITY KNOWN AND, AND TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE INTO IT AS POSSIBLE AND TO ENHANCE IT IN ANY WAY THAT WE CAN. 
          AND SO FOR TONIGHT OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE PRESENTATION OUTLINING
OUR DEPARTMENT'S DIVISIONS, PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES. IF THERE IS, AS I STATED AT THE BEGINNING,
IF THERE IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. 
          AGAIN, THIS WAS JUST OUR KIND OF FIRST ATTEMPT AT GIVING YOU A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW. 
          SEE WHAT INFORMATION IS HELPFUL FOR YOU. I KNOW THIS COMMISSION,
WHILE IT'S NOW BEEN SEATED FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, ALMOST A YEAR MAYBE. MAYBE JUST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. 
          WE'RE ALL STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW BEST TO APPROACH THE DIFFERENT ARMS THAT THIS
COMMISSION HAS. 
          AND SO HAPPY TO HELP. HAPPY TO HELP PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION,
CLARIFYING INFORMATION, EITHER TONIGHT OR EVEN AT SUBSEQUENT MEETINGS IF SOME ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP IS NEEDED. 
          SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. 
          COMMISSIONER MCCAULEY, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS OTHER THAN A COMMENT THAT
IT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU. A LOT OF WORK HAS BEEN GOING ON. COMMISSIONER YOUSUFZAI? I DON'T THINK I WANT TO REQUEST INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS AT A BUDGET. 
          THANK YOU. KELLY, I APPRECIATE IT. OF COURSE. 
          COMMISSIONER LANG? I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. 
          ALSO, I AGREE IT'S A REALLY NICE REPORT, AND IT WAS REALLY,
GAVE A LOT OF CONTEXT TO WHAT YOUR DEPARTMENT DOES. 
          AND I ACTUALLY HAD NO IDEA THAT HALF OF YOUR TIME IS SPENT ON HOUSING,
SO THAT PUTS A LOT OF THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE. 
          I DID NOTICE THE FLIERS OUT FRONT FOR THE MUSEUM YESTERDAY,
AND THEY REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE. 
          SO THAT'S WORKING. ARE THE DOCENTS VOLUNTEERS? IS THAT. NO, NO, THEY'RE PAID EMPLOYEES PART TIME. 
          AND THEN, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS OFF. I DON'T THINK IT'S OFF TOPIC BECAUSE YOU DID
TALK ABOUT PICKLEBALL COURTS, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE'S A RACQUETBALL COURT,
LIKE, TUCKED IN THE CORNER. 
          AND I'M WONDERING, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY PROGRAM LIKE,
ANY REFERENCES TO ANY USAGE THERE, OR PROGRAMS THERE. 
          OR IS THAT AN UNDERUTILIZED FACILITY? IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE LOOKED AT THE USAGE
RATES OF THERE. 
          I CAN SAY IT'S USED REGULARLY. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ALWAYS IN USE,
BUT THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF USE IN THAT FACILITY. 
          BUT I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC DATA IN FRONT OF ME TO SAY WHAT THAT USAGE RATE. 
          AND IT'S ONLY RACQUETBALL. I KNOW THEY THEY USED TO VOTE THERE,
BUT THAT WAS LIKE A YEAH, THAT'S A SEPARATE FACILITY. SO RACQUETBALL IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BUILDING TUCKED IN
THE CORNER. 
          YES. THAT'S WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO. YES. OKAY. 
          YEAH. IT'S JUST RACQUETBALL IN THERE. OKAY. OH,
ARE ANY OF THE CLASSES THAT WE OFFER SUBSIDIZED, LIKE, THE RECREATION CLASSES? NO, NO, NONE OF THEM ARE. 
          DO THEY PAY TO RENT OUT, SAY, LIKE, THE ALTA VISTA,
LIKE FOR, SAY, LINE DANCING? 
          [00:55:07]
DO THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THE CITY PROVIDES THAT SPACE SO
THAT CLASS CAN HAPPEN? SO WE DO IT THROUGH A CONTRACT PROGRAM. AND SO THE INSTRUCTORS ARE UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE
CITY. 
          THE CITY TAKES ALL OF THE REGISTRATION SO THE INSTRUCTORS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ACCEPT ANY
REGISTRATION DIRECTLY. 
          ALL REGISTRATION RUNS THROUGH OUR OFFICE. AND THEN WHEN THE CLASS IS COMPLETED,
WE SEND A PAYMENT TO THE INSTRUCTOR FOR 70% OF REGISTRATION FEES COLLECTED. 
          SO THE CITY'S PORTION IS 30%. THE INSTRUCTORS DO NOT HAVE TO RESERVE THE SPACE,
ESSENTIALLY, THEIR PAYMENT FOR USING THE SPACE IS THE 30% TO THE CITY FOR THAT TIME. 
          OKAY. I THINK THAT'S IT. YEAH. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER GALASSI,
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. ONE MINUTE. THANK YOU. GREAT QUESTIONS. 
          I TOO, WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT FACILITY IN THE CORNER,
WHAT IT WAS BEING UTILIZED FOR, IF IT WAS STILL BEING UTILIZED AS A RACQUETBALL COURTS. 
          OKAY, THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION. REGARDING THE HISTORIC LIBRARY AND A QUESTION ON THAT
BECAUSE I MET WITH MARC WIENER AND COMMISSIONER ROWE ON,
WE STARTED WORK ON THE PRESERVATION SUBCOMMITTEE WORK, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING AN EVENT THAT MARC THOUGHT THAT MAYBE WE
COULD POSSIBLY GET INTO THE HISTORIC LIBRARY IF IT WAS AVAILABLE. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS. SO WE WANT TO DO SORT OF LIKE AN OUTREACH TYPE OF EVENT FOR
FOLKS WHO HAVE LANDMARK DESIGNATED HOMES. SO I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT. 
          SO THE FACILITY IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR USE RIGHT NOW. 
          IT IS AN ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION SITE. THERE IS,
AS I STATED, WE HAVE GONE INTO A CONCESSIONAIRE AGREEMENT WITH A PRIVATE COMPANY TO MANAGE THAT FACILITY WITHIN THAT AGREEMENT, THERE IS A TERM IN THERE THAT DOES ALLOW THE CITY TO
RESERVE USE OF THE SPACE. 
          WE DO HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DATES THAT WE CAN USE PER YEAR. 
          BUT WE CAN USE IT FOR WHATEVER CITY PURPOSE WE NEED. 
          SO THAT WOULDN'T PRECLUDE YOUR EVENT FROM TAKING PLACE. 
          I, WE DO ANTICIPATE THE FACILITY TO BE OPENED IN NEXT SUMMER. 
          SO WE'RE EXPECTING ABOUT SIX MONTHS' WORTH OF CONSTRUCTION. 
          HOPEFULLY LESS THAN THAT. BUT THAT'S KIND OF OUR ANTICIPATED TIMELINE. 
          SO ONCE THE FACILITY OPENS, WE CAN THEN REACH OUT IF YOU GUYS HAVE A SELECT DATE AND WE
CAN REACH OUT TO THE CONCESSIONAIRE TO SEE IF THAT DATE IS AVAILABLE. 
          IF IT'S ALREADY BEEN BOOKED, THAT WE CANNOT KIND OF BUMP THAT EVENT OUT. 
          SO WE ARE ABLE TO REQUEST, BUT ONLY IF IT'S AVAILABLE. 
          THAT'S HELPFUL INFORMATION. IS IT POSSIBLE WHILE CONSTRUCTION IS GOING ON,
IF THIS EVENT WERE TO HAPPEN IN THE SPRING, COULD WE BE OUTSIDE IN FRONT OF THE LIBRARY,
ON THE GROUNDS THERE. 
          POTENTIALLY. I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT PROBABLY THE LARGEST PORTION OF IMPROVEMENTS,
I SHOULD SAY. 
          SO BY LARGEST, I MEAN THE MOST IMPACTFUL ON SPACE IS ON THE EXTERIOR,
UNFORTUNATELY. 
          SO WE'RE ADDING AN ADA ACCESS RAMP ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. 
          AND SO THAT WILL OBVIOUSLY MAKE THE FRONT NOT VERY DESIRABLE FOR AS A BACKDROP FOR
ANYTHING. 
          WE ARE ALSO REPLACING THE STAIRWAY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE,
OF THE BUILDING. 
          AND SO THAT WILL BE COMPLETELY DEMOED AND RE PUT IN AS WELL AS REDOING THE PARKING LOT AND
THE ADA ACCESS AREA ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING. 
          SO REALLY THE ONLY SIDE OF THE BUILDING THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE TOUCHED ON THE EXTERIOR
WOULD BE THE SOUTH SIDE, BUT THAT'S PROTECTED BY THE FIG TREE AND THE FENCE. 
          SO ALL THAT TO SAY, THERE'S A POTENTIAL FOR IT,
BUT IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS ON WHERE WE ARE WITH SOME OF THOSE EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS. 
          WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF WHAT MAY BE HAPPENING AROUND THE
BUILDING AT THAT TIME. 
          IT'S, THIS IS HELPFUL TO KNOW THAT WAY WE CAN THINK OF THINGS IN THAT IN THAT RESPECT. 
          WHO CREATES THE FLIERS? IS THAT YOUR OFFICE? IT'S VARIOUS MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM. 
          YEAH, YEAH, WE BUT WE THERE ALL PRODUCE IN-HOUSE. 
          THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE WE NEED TO REDO OUR PRESERVATION FLIERS. 
          SO I WAS WONDERING IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE IN-HOUSE. 
          OR DO WE NEED TO SOURCE ELSEWHERE. YEAH. OKAY. 
          POTENTIALLY. YEAH. OKAY. SO IT'S THE PRESENTATION WAS FABULOUS. 
          MY ONLY WISH WAS THAT I COULD HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO DIGEST THE INFORMATION
BEFORE TONIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS 
          [01:00:06]
REALLY WELL DONE. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS IN HERE,
YOU KNOW, THOUGHT PROVOKING INFORMATION THAT I HOPE THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, I GUESS I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE SENIOR PROGRAMING AND THE SENIOR CENTERS
FALL UNDER PUBLIC AMENITIES. 
          IT'S A CITY FACILITY. YEAH. SO. YEAH. OKAY. AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE,
YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE COULD AGENDIZE YOU KNOW, UNDERSTANDING BETTER THE SENIOR PROGRAMING,
BUT WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT AT ANOTHER MOMENT. 
          OKAY. SO THAT'S IT FOR ME, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          OF COURSE. I GOT A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS. MOST OF THEM ARE YOU PROBABLY BE ABLE TO ANSWER. 
          ARE YOU STILL SELLING THE REDONDO BEACH HISTORY BOOK AT THE ARTESIA BRANCH? IS THAT THE POSTCARD BOOK THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? I BELIEVE SO,
I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT WE'VE REMOVED IT. 
          SO YES, THAT SHOULD BE STILL BEING SOLD. AND THE CABLE TV CHANNEL. 
          DO YOU GUYS RUN THAT? NO. WHO DOES THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GUYS GET SOMETIMES GET SLIDES
FOR DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT YOU'RE PUTTING ON IN THERE. 
          SO IS THAT SOMETHING WE COME TO YOU IF WE SAY,
HEY, WE HAVE AN IDEA FOR SOMETHING. 
          YOU MEAN FOR INFORMATION TO POST ON THE SHOW. 
          THE HALLOWEEN PARTY AND WE WANTED TO PUT IT ON THE TELEVISION. 
          SO PEOPLE, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT GOES TO YOUR OFFICE? I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO DIRECTLY MANAGES IT. 
          WE USUALLY WORK THROUGH OUR IT DEPARTMENT TO GET IT UPLOADED,
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WORK WITH SOMEONE ELSE. 
          BUT IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA, PLEASE REACH OUT AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHO EXACTLY. 
          BUT I BELIEVE OUR MAIN CONTACT IS THE IT DEPARTMENT. 
          AND THE NEWSLETTER THAT YOU GUYS PUT OUT OR THE,
I GUESS THE BROCHURE THAT HAS THE STUFF. 
          ARE THERE DEADLINES THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PROGRAM THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE
PRESERVATION, IS THAT ARE THERE DEADLINES SO THAT WE CAN SUBMIT INFORMATION TO YOU GUYS TO DECIDE IF YOU
WANT TO DISSEMINATE IT? YES, WE DO HAVE DEADLINES FOR THEM. WE TYPICALLY START SCHEDULING THOSE OUT. 
          I MEAN, WE TYPICALLY FINALIZE THOSE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THE QUARTER STARTS. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF PRE-PLANNING THAT GOES INTO IT. 
          I WOULD HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK, BUT WE USED TO HAVE AND IT MAY STILL BE UP THERE. 
          I JUST HAVEN'T LOOKED IN QUITE SOME TIME ON OUR CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES WEB PAGE. 
          THERE IS A DEPARTMENT OR, EXCUSE ME, AN ANNUAL SCHEDULE FOR OUR NEWSLETTER,
AND IT'LL SAY, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION DUE FROM INSTRUCTORS ON SUCH DATE. 
          AND SO I WOULD REFER YOU TO LOOK AT THAT THE DUE DATE FOR INFORMATION FROM INSTRUCTORS,
BECAUSE THAT IS REALLY WHEN WE NEED ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WILL BE IN THE NEWSLETTER, SO THAT WE CAN THEN WORK ON FORMATTING AND FIGURING OUT HOW MUCH SPACE WE NEED
FOR EVERYTHING. 
          OKAY. AND THIS DOESN'T COME TO MY ATTENTION UNTIL RECENTLY,
BUT I GUESS THERE'S SOME EXPRESSION OF INTEREST OF HAVING A FARMER'S MARKET IN NORTH REDONDO, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE SPACE WHERE THE ARTESIA OFFICES HAVE A HUGE PARKING LOT
THAT USED TO BE USED FOR THE WALK AROUND AND STUFF, HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN APPROACHED ABOUT HAVING A FARMER'S MARKET UP THERE? SO I HAVE NOT SPECIFICALLY AT OUR BUILDING. OUR DIRECTOR HAS BEEN WORKING WITH,
I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE'S BEEN WORKING WITH, SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY THE WRONG NAME, BUT I KNOW SHE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH OTHER MEMBERS
OF THE CITY, AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS,
IN LOOKING AT SPACES IN NORTH REDONDO, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT ARTESIA PARKING LOT WAS PART OF THAT DISCUSSION. OKAY. 
          AND THE WORLD CUP IS COMING NEXT YEAR, THE OLYMPICS IN 2028. 
          IS YOUR DEPARTMENT THE SPEARHEADING DEPARTMENT ON THAT? THE CITY MANAGER'S DEPARTMENT IS REALLY THE MAIN POINT OF CONTACT FOR THAT. 
          OUR TEAM IS WORKING ON DOING SOME WATCH PARTIES FOR THE WORLD CUP AT SEASIDE LAGOON. 
          BUT AS FAR AS THE OVERARCHING ORGANIZATION OF THE CITY'S EFFORTS FOR BOTH,
THOSE EVENTS ARE MANAGED THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER'S DEPARTMENT. 
          OKAY. GOING TO YOUR CULTURAL AND PERFORMING ARTS BUDGET WHERE ARE THE CIP MONEY INCLUDED IN THESE BUDGETS? NO, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE CIP. 
          SO THAT'S A GOOD POINT. AND WE DO HAVE, SORRY,
LET ME JUST GO BACK TO THAT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I SPECIFIED. 
          SO THE CAPITAL OUTLAY ON HERE IS SOMETHING NEW THAT WE HAVE FOR THE BUILDING WE
IMPLEMENTED THIS YEAR A, I WANT TO SAY IT'S 2% MAYBE FEE OF ALL FACILITY USE FEES,
AND THAT 2% GOES DIRECTLY TOWARDS FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS. 
          AND SO THAT'S OUR CAPITAL OUTLAY HERE. AND SO THAT MONEY WILL GO DIRECTLY TOWARDS,
YOU KNOW, THINGS THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED,
THAT ARE SEPARATE FROM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. 
          HOWEVER, LET'S SAY WE DON'T SPEND ANYTHING IN THIS ACCOUNT AND IT CONTINUES TO ACCUMULATE
YEAR AFTER YEAR. 
          [01:05:05]
WE COULD ALLOCATE THAT THAT MONEY INTO A CIP,
BUT THE CAPITAL OUTLAY HERE IS SEPARATE FROM CIP. 
          AND THESE NUMBERS DO NOT INCLUDE CURRENT CIP ALLOCATIONS. 
          BECAUSE ON THAT SAME PAGE IS THAT INCLUDE THE RALPH PARSONS FUND. 
          NO, THIS DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE JOHN PARSONS PUBLIC ART FUND IS NOT INCLUDED HERE AS WELL. 
          OKAY. ON THE NEXT SLIDE WHEN DO YOU THINK THE BENCHES WILL BE REINSTALLED BY THE ROSES OR
IN THAT LITTLE CIRCLE AROUND THE FOUNTAIN? I'M NOT SURE I'D HAVE TO ASK JACK ON THAT. 
          HE WAS. HE WAS WORKING ON THAT. OKAY, WHO? WHO'S WORKING ON IT? I BELIEVE IT WAS, JACK WAS THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR THAT. 
          OKAY. GOING TO YOUR SLIDE NUMBER 13. I DO WANT TO ECHO YOUR SHOUT OUTS TO THEM. 
          TONY IS A PHENOMENAL PERSON. IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO TO THE MUSEUM,
IT'S. 
          HE'S WELL WORTH ENGAGING IN CONVERSATION. HE'S SEEN EVERYTHING IN REDONDO BEACH,
INCLUDING. 
          HE WAS ACTUALLY ON ONE OF THE PIERS WHEN THE FIRE BROKE OUT AND THE BIG STORM AND KATRINA, I THINK THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT THE FLIER THAT'S OUT IN THE LOBBY. 
          SHE HANDWROTE THOSE. SHE'S GOT AN AMAZING SENSE OF STYLE WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING FLIERS. 
          SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO MEET THEM ALL. WE HAVE A BUDGET COMMITTEE NOW,
SO DO YOU HAVE A WISH LIST SO THAT WE CAN START THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO BE COMING UP, THAT WE NEED TO BE ADVOCATES TO THE CITY ABOUT? I MEAN, THE ANSWER IS YES. THERE'S ALWAYS A WISH LIST. 
          I DON'T KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I DON'T,
I THINK IF WE INTERNALLY HAD SOME TIME TO KIND OF GIVE A PRIORITIZED LIST, WE PROBABLY COULD PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER AND MAYBE WE CAN TALK OFFLINE WITH THE
SUBCOMMITTEE AND WORK ON WHAT, AT LEAST FROM PARKS AND RECREATION WOULD BE GREAT TO INCLUDE ON THAT. 
          COMMISSIONER YOUSUFZAI IS IN CHARGE OF THAT IF I WANT TO TALK TO HIM DIRECTLY. 
          OKAY. ON THE SAINT JAMES CHURCH WINDOWS. SO AT ONE POINT,
WE WERE TRYING TO COLLECT THE PICTURES OF THE WEDDINGS THAT HAPPENED IN FRONT OF THE WINDOWS OVER THERE. 
          WE HAVE ONE THAT DATES BACK, I THINK, TO THE 50S. 
          SO AT SOME POINT WE'LL GET THAT TO YOU AS WELL,
SO THAT YOU HAVE IT. 
          IT'S A REALLY NICE PICTURE OF IT. A COUPLE MORE THINGS. 
          ON THE SUBJECT OF WISH LIST I KNOW WE'RE NOW STARTING THE LEADERSHIP REDONDO PERIOD AGAIN. 
          AND THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR PROJECTS. AND IF YOU HAVE SOME PROJECTS THAT ARE EITHER
HISTORICAL IN NATURE OR RECREATION AND NATURE, THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR STUFF TO DO. AND I,
I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE, BUT I THINK PROBABLY ABOUT APRIL, THEY'LL PROBABLY BE STARTING LOOKING FOR PROJECTS. 
          AND BY THE WAY THE ONE SLIDE THAT DIDN'T GET IN HERE,
I THINK THIS HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS THING. 
          THE MUSEUM HAS A STREET SIGN THAT'S SITTING ON RINDGE,
THAT LETS YOU, FLAGLER, SORRY, THAT LETS YOU SEE THAT THE MUSEUM IS OPEN. AND I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING TO PEOPLE GOING THERE. 
          AND IF NONE, IF ALL OF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE MUSEUM,
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO. 
          IT'S IT'S CHANGED A LOT. THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB WITH IT. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. OKAY, SO IS THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD
LIKE TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM? ARE YOU GUYS STUDENTS? YES. DID YOU NEED SOMEBODY TO SIGN OFF ON YOUR. 
          OKAY. YOU COULD. YEAH. YOU GOTTA WAIT TILL THE END. 
          NO YOU DON'T. THEY'LL SIGN OFF ON IT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO STICK UNTIL THE END,
BUT I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN HERE. 
          ARE YOU GIVING HIM AN OUT? I KNOW WE ALWAYS LIKE SOME OF OUR MEETINGS GO REALLY LONG,
AND THEY GET THE FLAVOR OF WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT THEY'LL BE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO SIGN OFF ON IT,
SO. 
          THEY'VE MADE IT THIS FAR. YEAH. AND IF YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING,
YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO ANYBODY ONLINE. 
          THERE'S NOBODY ONLINE. OKAY. SO CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE PRESENTATION
OUTLINING COMMUNITY SERVICE DEPARTMENTS, DIVISION PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITY. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE. 
          THANK YOU. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR,
RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          ALL THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY, SO WE GOT UNANIMOUS AGAIN. 
          NOW WE GO TO ITEM L.2. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING PUBLIC AMENITIES CURRENT
AND PROPOSED SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          [01:10:05]
SO I HOPE YOU ALL HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE COMPOSITION AS WAS PRESENTED. 
          AND I, THE ONE COMMENT I HAD, AS I THOUGHT THAT COMMISSIONER CALDWELL WAS ON THIS
PRESERVATION OUTREACH SUBCOMMITTEE. AND I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT YOU'RE STILL ON IT. 
          I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. THE ONLY THING IS THAT I'M LIMITED TO MY WORK SCHEDULE. 
          AS YOU NOTICE, I MADE IT HERE THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AT 6:31. 
          OH. 6:32, BUT ANYTHING BEFORE 6:30, PROBABLY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET TO. 
          OKAY. SO, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PAGE 93, WHICH IS THE COMMITTEES,
IS THERE ANY COMMISSIONER THAT WANTS TO BE ADDED TO ONE? OKAY. I'M NOT HEARING ANYTHING. SO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA. 
          WHAT, WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE THIS ONE TO GO? I THINK OUR MISSION TONIGHT WAS TO DELINEATE A
GOAL FOR EACH OF THE COMMISSIONS. CLEAR AND SUCCINCT GOALS SO WE COULD PUT THAT. 
          SOME OF THEM ARE OBVIOUSLY SELF-EXPLANATORY,
BUT ACCORDING TO THE RULES, WE SHOULD HAVE A GOAL FOR EACH SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          AND IT CAN BE VERY SIMPLE AND SUCCINCT, BUT WE'D LIKE TO DOCUMENT THAT. 
          AND THEN MOVING FORWARD, THAT WOULD BE OKAY. I THINK YOU GOT ONE FROM THE PRESERVATION
OUTREACH COMMITTEE AS PART OF THE BLUE FOLDER. AND I THINK YOU ALSO HAVE ONE FROM THE PICKLEBALL,
BUT I DON'T SEE PICKLEBALL. 
          IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING. I OPENED IT. I DID NOT INCLUDE ONE. 
          PICKLEBALL IS A SUBCOMMITTEE, THAT'S WHAT I WAS. OH THERE IS,
ALTA VISTA PICKLEBALL. 
          PICKLEBALL. OKAY. YEAH. I DID NOT INCLUDE ONE FOR THE MINOR ALTERATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE,
BECAUSE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING EVEN PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION,
WHEN IT WAS JUST THE PRESERVATION COMMISSION, THERE WAS ALWAYS A MINOR ALTERATION SUBCOMMITTEE IN THAT THE SCOPE OF THAT HAS NOT
CHANGED. 
          IT'S REQUIRED TO EXIST. IT'S REQUIRED, YES. WELL,
YEAH. 
          IT'S IN THE RULES, THE MUNICIPAL CODE. YEAH. OKAY. 
          ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY GOALS THAT THEY WANT TO SHARE. 
          DO YOU WANT TO CARRY THIS OVER FOR NEXT MONTH TO GET THE REMAINING PARTS IN. 
          I DID WANT TO TOUCH BASE ON THIS. I MADE SOME NOTES PRIOR TO THE MEETING TO GET SOME
FEEDBACK FROM THE REST OF THE COMMISSION REGARDING THE BUDGET ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE. I TOOK A CRACK AT TRYING TO DEFINE THE GOALS AND DELIVERABLES FOR
THE PURPOSE OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE, BUT I WANTED TO GET SOME FEEDBACK IN TERMS OF THE PROCESS OF GETTING RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          SO WE'RE NOT JUST THROWING IDEAS TO THE WALL,
RIGHT? LIKE, WE WANTED TO HAVE SOME SUBSTANCE BEHIND IT. 
          AND I REALLY WANTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY INTEREST OF HAVING LIKE,
A FORMALIZED KIND OF FORM OR SOMETHING TO FILL OUT IN TERMS OF LIKE, HEY, THIS IS WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION IS. THIS IS THE PURPOSE IT SERVES. 
          IT'S EITHER TO MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE AN EXISTING SERVICE YOU KNOW,
TO ADD SOMETHING TO A PARTICULAR AREA OF REDONDO THAT IS PROBABLY OVERLOOKED OR NOT LOOKED, SO THERE'S LIKE A CAUSATION FOR THE BASIS OF WHY WE'RE
REQUESTING A LOOK AT THAT. 
          AND THEN PERHAPS, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S SIGNIFICANT TO A PARTICULAR COMMISSION OR COMMISSIONER
THAT THEY JUST WRITE LIKE WHY IT'S SIGNIFICANT TO TAKE A PEEK AT THIS DURING BUDGET SEASON. AND I WAS THINKING WHAT MY KIND OF ROLE IN THAT COULD
BE IS REALLY ARTICULATE, LIKE FISCAL KIND OF CONSIDERATIONS AS IT PERTAINS TO LIKE THE BUDGET. 
          I COULD TAKE A LOOK AT LIKE, YOU KNOW, KELLY WAS TALKING ABOUT LIKE FUNDING SOURCES FOR
CERTAIN THINGS LIKE THAT'S MY LIKE PROFESSIONAL WORLD AS WELL. 
          SO I CAN ARTICULATE THAT POINT. BUT I THINK JUST SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE MEAT BEHIND
THE REQUEST, BECAUSE I THINK THIS CAN GET CARRIED AWAY REALLY EASILY TOO. 
          RIGHT. IF WE'RE COMING IN AND JUST SAYING, HEY,
WE WANT A SWING SET HERE, WE WANT NEW PLAY HERE, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE BETTER. AND THEN IF WE HAVE IT KIND OF IN A FORM SETTING
AND THEN WE CAN HAVE LIKE A COHESIVE, COMPREHENSIVE LIKE ASK LIST. RIGHT. AND WITH THAT I WAS THINKING DELIVERABLES TO KIND OF
BE SEMIANNUALLY, RIGHT? THERE'S TWO MAJOR BUDGET TIMES DURING THE YEAR. 
          THEY HAVE THE ANNUAL WHICH KIND OF THE CIP BUDGET GOES HAND IN HAND WITH THE ANNUAL THE
UPDATING OF THE FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR THE CIP BUDGET. 
          THAT IS COMING UP REALLY CLOSE, BECAUSE THAT'S LIKE THE TURN OF THE NEW YEAR. 
          AND THEN I WAS LOOKING AT THE DATE THAT THE BUDGET GOT APPROVED FOR THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR
WAS IN MAY. 
          SO THAT DOESN'T LEAVE US A LOT OF TIME TO KIND OF PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER TO PRESENT. 
          [01:15:04]
AND AGAIN, WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THIS IS REALLY JUST PUTTING RECOMMENDATIONS,
RIGHT. 
          LIKE WE'VE KIND OF DISCUSSED IT LIKE THERE'S NO DIRECTION FROM OUR COMMISSION AT ALL. 
          RIGHT. WE'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS. BUT I THINK THERE WOULD BE MORE SUBSTANCE
BEHIND US ASKING FOR SPECIFIC REASONS. 
          THIS IS A, YOU KNOW, TO MAINTAIN A DEFICIENCY WITHIN LIKE SERVICE THAT'S BEING RENDERED AT
FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY. 
          AND SO I THINK THAT WAS JUST MY INITIAL THOUGHT PROCESS. 
          NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY INTEREST TO DO THAT,
OR IF YOU GUYS WANT TO JUST THROW IDEAS AND WE CAN PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER. 
          BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT LIKE HOW THAT AFFECTS BUDGET,
I THINK IT MIGHT BE BENEFICIAL TO DO THAT. 
          SO I WANTED TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION. AND THIS DISCUSSION ITEM ACTUALLY HELPS ME WITH
THAT BECAUSE AS WE FINALIZE LIKE GOALS, RULES, OBJECTIVES, LIKE OF THIS SUBCOMMITTEE,
I WANT TO JUST GET FEEDBACK FROM THE REST OF THE COMMISSION IN TERMS OF WHAT THEIR INTEREST IS IN THAT. AND I CAN DO WHATEVER BUDGETARY THING I NEED TO AT THAT POINT. 
          WELL, I THINK THE CITY MANAGER WILL BE COMING TO US SOMEWHERE AROUND MARCH. 
          SO WE ARE WORKING ON A SHORT TIMELINE FOR THIS YEAR. 
          BUT I THINK IF YOU GET THE SYSTEMS GOING IN PLACE IT WILL BE IN THE LONG RUN,
BETTER FOR US. 
          WE HAVE, I GUESS, FOUR DIFFERENT COST CENTERS OR THREE DIFFERENT COST CENTERS. 
          SO YOU HAVE THE COMMUNITY SERVICES GROUP, THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GROUP,
AND THE LIBRARY GROUP AND DANA'S VERY ARTICULATE AND SHARING WHEN HE WANTS US TO STICK OUR HEADS IN IT. 
          BUT IT'S REALLY WHEN THE CITY MANAGER COMES TO US TO BE ABLE TO SAY,
HEY, THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          I ANTICIPATE YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING WHERE YOU SAY,
OKAY, LET'S GO TO SOME OF OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS AND GO MEET WITH THE INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS AND GET THE FEEDBACK ON IT. UNFORTUNATELY,
WE DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE RUNNING IN A REALLY GOOD YEAR. 
          LIKE A COUPLE YEARS AGO, THEY DID A BOND TO COVER ALL THE PENSION STUFF,
AND THAT FREED UP A TON OF MONEY, SO THERE WAS LIKE A CANDY SHOP IN SOME YEARS. 
          IT'S EXTREMELY LEAN. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CANDY SHOP AS IT PERTAINS TO PUBLIC
BUDGETING, AS DANA WILL PROBABLY TELL YOU THAT. BUT I AGREE. 
          LIKE, I'M AGAIN, I THINK THIS IS REALLY IF WE IF WE WANT TO ESTABLISH THIS AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          RIGHT. AND THE OPTION ALWAYS IS IF WE KIND OF TAKE A STEP BACK FROM THE LAST MEETING AND
SAY, HEY, IF WE DON'T WANT TO BE AS DETAILED WITH IT,
WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, NECESSARILY I DON'T KNOW IF WE NECESSARILY NEED A SUBCOMMITTEE AT THAT POINT, RIGHT? BUT I DO THINK THAT IF WE ARTICULATE ASKS A LITTLE BIT MORE COHESIVELY AND
KIND OF LIKE, AT LEAST GET THE BALL ROLLING IN THEIR EYES,
RIGHT, OR AT LEAST THROW THE IDEA IN A WAY TO WHERE IT MAKES SOME SENSE. 
          AGAIN, IN TERMS OF BUDGETING, I'M NOT GOING TO LIKE LOOK AT THE MUNICIPAL BUDGET. 
          AND I MEAN, I DO THAT PROFESSIONALLY. LIKE I COULD TAKE GENERAL FUND ALLOCATIONS AND SAY,
HEY, YOU CAN USE THIS. THIS IS RESTRICTED FUNDS. YOU CAN DO THAT. 
          THAT'S WHAT I DO PROFESSIONALLY. BUT I THINK IT MIGHT JUST BE BENEFICIAL TO SAY,
HEY, LOOK, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE GRANT FUNDS LIKE KELLY WAS TALKING ABOUT,
LIKE HOUSING, YOU KNOW, THAT'S FUNDED STRICTLY FROM ESG FUNDS, THAT'S FROM HUD, RIGHT? SO, LIKE, I CAN ARTICULATE CERTAIN THINGS LIKE THAT TO SAY,
HEY, LOOK, IF WE WANT, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE AN IMPROVEMENT ON A PARK. 
          IT MIGHT COST THIS MUCH MONEY. PERHAPS WE ALLOCATE SOME GENERAL FUND ALLOCATION FOR IT IN
A VERY CURSORY WAY. 
          SEND IT VIA, LIKE OUR REPORT ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR. 
          I WOULD FEEL KIND OF COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, RIGHT? LIKE WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET INTO LIKE THE LINE ITEM DOLLAR AMOUNT. THAT'S WHAT I WAS
MENTIONING DURING THE LAST MEETING. LIKE, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO GET TO THAT PRECISE KIND OF A PRESENTATION, BUT I THINK IF WE PUT SOME IDEAS AND THOUGHTS OF THINGS THAT WE
REALLY WANT TO SEE WITHIN THE NEXT BUDGETARY CYCLE, WE PROBABLY WANT TO PUT IT IN A COHESIVE KIND OF FORM LIKE THAT. 
          AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE TIMELINES AS WELL. SO I WANTED TO GET FEEDBACK. 
          THIS COMMISSION MEETING TO BASICALLY SEE IF YOU GUYS WANTED TO DO A FORM. 
          I HAVE LIKE A FORM KIND OF DRAFTED ALREADY. I NEED TO FINALIZE A COUPLE OF THINGS,
BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE HASSLE OF COMPLETING IT. 
          AND WE DON'T WANT TO AGREE TO LIKE HAVING A FORM SUBMITTED WITH IT. 
          I COULD FACILITATE THAT TO DANA, AND PERHAPS HE COULD FACILITATE. 
          SO THERE'S NO BROWN ACT VIOLATIONS OR ANYTHING. 
          HE CAN FACILITATE IT PRIOR TO THE NEXT MONTHS COMMISSION MEETING,
I DID HAVE A SUBSEQUENT QUESTION UPON THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A NEXT MONTH'S COMMISSION MEETING, BUT. AND THEN IF, YOU KNOW,
OVER THE NEXT MONTH OR SO IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF FEEDBACK FROM ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS REGARDING PROJECTS THEY WANT TO INCLUDE IN THAT TWICE A YEAR REPORT I COULD START WORKING
ON THE BUDGETARY COMPONENT OF THAT AND THEN PERHAPS PRESENT A DRAFT PRIOR TO, YOU KNOW, MARCH AND THEN SUBMIT THE FINAL. 
          BECAUSE, AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME,
LIKE THIS IS A DECEMBER MEETING. 
          WE PROBABLY HAVE TWO MEETINGS BEFORE THIS. IF WE'RE GOING TO HIT BUDGET,
TIME TO REMIT THIS TO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE SO THEY HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME TO AT LEAST 
          [01:20:09]
TAKE A LOOK AT IT. RIGHT? BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT THAT TIME COMES VERY,
VERY QUICKLY AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND THEIR BUDGET DURING THAT TIME. 
          SO IF THERE'S ANY CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT YOU GUYS WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT TO AND REMEMBER
CIP BUDGET IS DIFFERENT THAN YOUR REGULAR BUDGET. 
          SO IF THERE'S CAPITAL PLANS, AND NOT EVERY IMPROVEMENT IS A CAPITAL PROJECT LIKE,
YOU KNOW, AGAIN, SO WE WANT TO PRESENT IT ACCORDINGLY. HAVE YOU SEEN THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT THE
CITY HAS? YES. I READ THE ACFR COVER TO COVER. SO WHEN'S THE NEXT STRATEGIC PLAN MEETING? I CAN GET THAT TO YOU. I DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW. 
          I KNOW THAT IT'S PERIODICALLY UPDATED AND REVISED AND PRESENTED TO COUNCIL,
BUT I DON'T HAVE THE NEXT STRATEGIC PLAN MEETING. 
          AND FOR ME, SOME OF THESE IDEAS THAT COME OUT ARE NOT FOR THE NEXT CYCLE. 
          IT TAKES ABOUT SIX MONTHS BEFORE THINGS GET TRACTION. 
          HOW LONG DID IT TAKE US WITH THE DIGITIZING OF THE DAILY BREEZE? IT WAS A TWO YEAR PLUS PROJECT. SO IF YOU, AND YOU HAVE THE CANOPY STUFF AND YEAH,
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME TOO. 
          SO IT'S GETTING IT OUT. I LIKE THE IDEA OF A FORM BECAUSE IT KEEPS US FOCUSED ON WHAT WE
SHOULD BE PROMOTING, BUT WE MAY NOT SEE A RESULT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. 
          AND IT'S REALLY GETTING THE ATTENTION, SEEING HOW IT FITS IN WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY YOU GET THINGS DONE IN THE CITY IS EITHER TO HAVE A CIP OR IN
THE STRATEGIC PLAN, SO IT'S GOT TO BE ALIGNED WITH THAT. I MEAN,
I WOULD I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR ANYBODY AT THE CITY, BUT I CAN JUST TELL YOU, LIKE PROFESSIONALLY SPEAKING,
A LOT OF TIMES, LIKE IF YOU HAVE PROJECTS LIKE YOU WANT THEM TO ALIGN WITH THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLANS. BUT I JUST TO KIND OF KEEP PERSPECTIVE OF WHY WE WANTED TO HAVE THIS. 
          THIS IS WHERE IT JUST ASKS FROM OUR COMMISSION,
RIGHT? IF WE WANT TO GET, THESE ARE JUST GENERAL ASKS FROM,
YOU KNOW, FEEDBACK THAT WE GET FROM PEOPLE FROM OUR OWN KIND OF LIKE WANTS OR RECOMMENDATIONS. I THINK WE MIGHT WANT TO KEEP IT AT THAT. 
          AND WHETHER THAT ALIGNS WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN OR NOT. 
          I MEAN, I THINK EVERYONE INDIVIDUALLY, IF THEY WANT TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION,
CAN DO THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE TO SEE DOES IT ALIGN OR NOT? BUT REALLY, THIS WAS JUST KIND OF AN EXERCISE,
AN OPPORTUNITY TO LET EVERYBODY COHESIVELY MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, WHATEVER IS IMPORTANT TO THEM OR NOT. NOW TO GET THEM DONE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
STORY. 
          I THINK WE ALL KIND OF ARE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH LIKE THE LIKELIHOOD BASED ON BUDGETING
AND THAT. 
          HOWEVER, I THINK JUST TO PRESENT THE IDEA WAS THE GOAL OF THIS. 
          AND IF IT ISN'T, THEN WE MIGHT WANT TO TALK ABOUT DO WE NEED IT OR NOT? IF WE'RE GOING TO SAY THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF IT GETTING DONE. 
          ONE OF THE GOALS WAS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE IT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TWO MONTHS. 
          WE PROPOSED IT AS A AGENDA ITEM, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH,
ASSUMING THAT THE CITY PUTS IT ON THE AGENDA. 
          SO THIS WAY, YOU HAD A FORUM WHERE WE COULD CONSTANTLY TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT IDEAS ON IT. 
          WELL, HOW ABOUT WE LOOK AT THIS KIND OF LIKE WE LOOK AT THE VOLUNTEER ACKNOWLEDGMENT
SUBCOMMITTEE, RIGHT. LIKE IT'S AS SOON AS SOMEBODY HAS A VOLUNTEER THEY WANT TO NOMINATE,
WE SUBMIT IT. 
          RIGHT? WE DON'T, LIKE GO A COUPLE MONTHS TO AGENDIZE IT AND WHAT? SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE AS IT COMES UP, I THINK WE PROBABLY WANT TO TAKE THIS IN THE SAME
APPROACH, RIGHT? LIKE IF YOU COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT IS LIKE,
HEY, I REALLY THINK WE NEED TO TRY TO AT LEAST SAY THAT THE COUNCIL SHOULD LOOK AT THIS FROM A BUDGETARY PERSPECTIVE. AND THIS IS LIKE,
WHY? AND THIS IS WHY I FEEL AND THIS IS HOW IT CAN IMPROVE THE CITY. 
          AND THEN I CAN DO WHATEVER NARRATIVE WITH THE BUDGETARY COMPONENT OF IT. 
          I THINK I WAS LOOKING AT MORE AT THAT PERSPECTIVE,
RIGHT? AND THIS IS KIND OF LIKE AS IT COMES UP. I THINK,
WITH DEFINING THE DELIVERABLES OF THIS COMMITTEE. 
          I THINK HAVING THAT SUBMITTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL TWICE A YEAR IS PROBABLY LIKE THE BEST
IT'S GOING TO GET BECAUSE MID-YEAR IS VERY DIFFICULT. I KNOW THAT MID-YEAR ALLOCATIONS,
IT DOES HAPPEN, BUT IT'S VERY, VERY TRICKY. 
          USUALLY IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET AN ASK IN DURING BUDGET TIME AND CIP TIME,
IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE, AND YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT LIKE IT'S REALLY BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. 
          JANUARY IS WHEN THEY DO THE CIP, THEY START. THEY START THE PROCESS. 
          AND AGAIN, I LOOKED AT WHEN THE CIP AND THE STRATEGIC,
AND NOT THE STRATEGIC PLAN, LET ME CORRECT MYSELF, THE CIP AND THE BUDGET WENT TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL,
AND IT WAS EARLY THIS YEAR. 
          IT WAS WELL BEFORE JULY 1ST, WHICH IS RARE FOR MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS. 
          IT WAS, I THINK, I WANT TO SAY, MAY 16TH. I LOOKED AT THE DATE THAT IT WAS APPROVED BY
COUNCIL. 
          IT WAS LIKE MAY 16TH. SO TO GET IN ANY KIND OF LEGITIMATE,
AT LEAST REVIEW OF IT, AND AGAIN, 
          [01:25:06]
WE'RE TEMPERING EXPECTATIONS WITH IT. BUT FOR THEM TO EVEN CONSIDER IT FOR THIS BUDGET
CYCLE, I WOULD SAY NO LATER THAN BEGINNING OF MARCH FOR THE MARCH. 
          AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN IF MY TIMELINES ARE OFF. 
          BUT THAT'S WHERE I'M AT. I THINK ACTUALLY THEY STARTED IN JANUARY WITH THE DEPARTMENT
HEADS HAVING THEIR WISH LIST PRESENTING TO, AND THEN IT PERCOLATES UP. BUT WE HAVE LIKE THE PARK RANGER PROGRAM,
WHICH WAS LAST YEAR, IT WAS LIKE NOT PART OF THE FUNCTION AND IT DIDN'T MAKE IT IN,
BUT I THINK IT'D STILL BE A NICE LITTLE THING WHEN THE CITY MANAGER COMES BACK AND SAYS, WE WANT THE PARK, YOU KNOW. SUBMIT A FORM, SUBMIT WHY WE NEED IT. 
          WHAT YOU, WHAT THE BASIS OF IT IS. YOU KNOW HOW IT CAN IMPROVE,
LIKE A SERVICE AREA AND JUST A VERY GENERIC KIND OF THING. 
          WHY IT'S IMPORTANT. YOU CAN SAY WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU PERSONALLY,
AND THEN WE CAN PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER. 
          AND THEN THE CUMULATIVE COLLECTION OF ALL THE ASKS WILL BE THE FINAL DELIVERABLE TO THE
COUNCIL. 
          AND I THINK THAT MIGHT BE LIKE THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH IT,
RIGHT? IS THAT WORKABLE WITH YOU? YES. ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO AS THE NEXT STEP? JUST BRING THE FORM TO US AND LET US LOOK AT IT. 
          YEAH. SO WHAT I THINK I CAN DO JUST FOR THE SAKE OF TIME TOO,
BECAUSE IF WE, IF I PRESENT SOMETHING OR IF WE AGENDIZE SOMETHING FOR THE NEXT MEETING, THEN YOU GUYS NEED TIME TO REVIEW IT. THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE FEBRUARY TO START IT,
I THINK JUST FOR THE SAKE OF TIME AND KIND OF UNDERSTANDING. 
          LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO SAY URGENCY, BUT THE TIMELINE,
IF WE'RE REALLY GOING TO SUBMIT THIS, WE HAVE KIND OF A SHORT WINDOW WITH IT, PERHAPS I TAKE A DRAFT,
I FINISH WHAT I WAS WORKING ON AS A DRAFT. 
          I CAN FACILITATE THAT TO DANA. PERHAPS, YOU KNOW,
IF WE COULD FACILITATE IT TO THE REST OF THE COMMISSION, TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IF IT'S SUFFICIENT, THEN,
YOU KNOW, START ASKING WHATEVER THE ASKS ARE OR WHATEVER YOU GUYS THINK. 
          AND THEN AS YOU, AS THEY COME UP OR AS YOU FEEL THE NEED TO RECOMMEND THEM PROBABLY FOR
NOW, FACILITATE IT THROUGH YOU. I HATE TO GET ALL THIS ADMIN STUFF TO YOU,
BUT FACILITATE IT THROUGH DANA, AND THEN HE CAN GIVE IT TO ME AND THEN I CAN GIVE AN UPDATE DURING OUR SUBCOMMITTEE
UPDATES PERIODICALLY. 
          WHEN YOU SAY FACILITATED THROUGH DANA, ARE YOU REQUESTED,
DO YOU WANT THE COMMISSION TO SEND THEIR REQUEST TO HIM, OR IS HE JUST GOING TO SEND OUT THE FORM THAT YOU'VE CREATED? SO INITIALLY WOULD BE THE FORM. SO I'M NOT, WE'RE NOT VIOLATING THE BROWN ACT STUFF. 
          AND THEN I, AND THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. 
          BUT LET ME ASK HOW DO WE, DO IT FOR THE VOLUNTEER ACKNOWLEDGMENT PROGRAM. 
          DOES THAT GO TO COMMISSIONER ROWE DIRECTLY? YES. 
          I KNOW THAT HE'LL SOMETIMES SOLICIT NAMES FOR THE RECOGNITION,
BUT THOSE GO, I THINK, DIRECTLY TO HIM. 
          BUT THE FORM IS COMPLETED. THEN IT'S UNDER THE SUBCOMMITTEES REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION TO
THE GENERAL COMMISSION. 
          I'M OKAY HAVING IT. IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE, I'M OKAY HAVING IT DIRECTLY TO ME,
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO, I, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO REVIEW ALL THAT. AND WE CAN KIND OF GO FROM THERE. 
          AND THEN IN TERMS OF DEFINE GOALS AND DELIVERABLES I DIDN'T FORWARD THEM TO YOU,
BUT I HAVE A WORKING DRAFT OF THEM. 
          PERHAPS WE CAN IF YOU WANT TO HAVE LIKE A. YEAH,
I JUST YEAH, I WAS GOING TO MENTION MAYBE WE CAN MEET OR. 
          COORDINATE SOMETHING. YEAH. OKAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE AS AN UPDATE. 
          TENTATIVELY FOR THE BUDGET. WHAT DO WE CALL IT? BUDGET. THE BUDGET. ADVISORY COMMITTEE. THE BUDGET COMMITTEE. 
          OKAY. WELL, I, THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING ALL THAT TO US. 
          I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS COMMITTEE. I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL FOR US ALL TO
UNDERSTAND HOW THE BUDGET PROCESS WORKS. YOU WERE THROWING OUT A LOT OF DATES,
AND I HAVE A VERY VAGUE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHEN SOME OF THESE BUDGETS ARE APPROVED AND WHEN THE PROCESS STARTS. AND SO I,
IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF WE COULD GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHEN SOME OF THOSE DEADLINES ARE AND JUST MAYBE LIKE A HIGH-LEVEL PROCESS. 
          AND YEAH, THAT'S IT. I'M JUST I'M, I HAVE A FEW IDEAS,
AND I THINK IT'LL BE REALLY NICE TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT IN AN ORGANIZED PACKET AND HAND IT DIRECTLY TO WHO'S ASKING US, SO. OKAY. SO FOR EXAMPLE, I LIKE TO WORK IN EXAMPLES FOR EXAMPLE IN THE PICKLEBALL SUBCOMMITTEE GOALS
THAT I SHARED, ITEM NUMBER 8, ASSIST STAFF TO EVALUATE CURRENT RESERVATION SYSTEM AND DETERMINE
IF IT WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF PICKLEBALL PROGRAM AND CAPTURE ACCURATE REVENUE DATA,
RECOMMEND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS SO THAT THEY CAN BE RECOMMENDED TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR 
          [01:30:08]
INCLUSION IN THE CITY BUDGET IF THERE ARE COSTS ASSOCIATED. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE NEED TO FILL OUT A FORM,
SEND IT TO YOU. 
          THAT TYPE OF THING. OKAY. OKAY. SO WHY DON'T WE VOTE TO, L.3 IS SIMILAR TO THIS, BUT I DON'T THINK WE'VE DIPPED INTO THAT YET. 
          SO WHY DON'T WE RECEIVE AND FILE THE REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND PUT IT ON NEXT
MONTH'S AGENDA AS WELL, SO WE CAN FINALIZE IT? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. OKAY. 
          A SECOND. I'LL SECOND IT. IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE ARE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS. BEFORE WE VOTE,
CAN YOU REPEAT THE MOTION? SURE. THAT WE RECEIVE AND FILE THE REPORTS THAT WE HAVE AND THAT WE AGENDIZE IT FOR THE
NEXT MEETING AS A CONTINUED ITEM. 
          OKAY. OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON IT? I HAVE A REQUEST OF STAFF ON THIS ITEM. 
          I KNOW IT'S LATE ON THE AGENDA TO AGENDIZE FUTURE THINGS,
BUT EXCUSE ME, AS WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS LAST MONTH AND AGAIN THIS MONTH, I'M VERY CONCERNED ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10,
LIKE A 8 AND A HALF, THAT THE SUBCOMMITTEE WORKLOAD, AND I APPRECIATE THAT THE COMMISSIONERS ARE ALL WILLING TO DO THAT, THAT THE DISCUSSION ON THE BUDGET, WHICH I THINK IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THROUGH THE YEAR
WE'LL GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF SOME OF THE NEEDS OF THE CITY. 
          BUT WITH EVERY SUBCOMMITTEE, IT REQUIRES STAFF TIME. 
          AND I THINK WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS GIVEN EARLIER TODAY,
I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY NOTICEABLE THAT THE STAFF ALLOCATION TO THE NEEDED SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY IS VERY THIN. 
          IT'S VERY, I WOULD SAY, A LOW LEVEL OF STAFFING GIVEN THE SIZE OF OUR CITY,
GIVEN THE SERVICES THAT OUR CITY PROVIDES. 
          AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH,
BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SUBCOMMITTEE TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT STAFF DEDICATION AND ACTIVITY THAT GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES. 
          AND THAT'S IN ADDITION TO THEIR ACTUAL WORKLOAD. 
          SO AS THE CITY PROMOTES POSITIONS, THEY HAVE A VERY DEFINED WORKLOAD AND VERY SPECIFIC HIGH EXPECTATION OF PERFORMANCE AND THE ABILITY TO GET THEIR WORK COMPLETED. 
          AND I THINK THAT THE CITY AND WE'VE SEEN IT THROUGH PROBABLY ALL OF OUR SUBCOMMITTEES AND
PROBABLY ALL OF OUR COMMISSIONS. 
          THE CITY DOES HAVE A DECENT TURNOVER OF STAFF,
AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE ASKING A LOT OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS, BUT AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THESE THE SUBCOMMITTEES LAST MONTH AND,
AND THESE DISCUSSIONS, I JUST WONDER IF WE HAVE THE BANDWIDTH FOR EACH OF THESE SUBCOMMITTEES TO SUCCEED. 
          AND I SAY THAT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, BECAUSE ALL OF THESE SUBCOMMITTEES ARE VERY
IMPORTANT. 
          BUT I WOULD SAY THAT A COMMISSION SHOULD DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN WITH THE EXPECTATION OF
EXCELLENCE. 
          AND I WOULD THINK THAT THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH AND THEIR STAFF PROBABLY EXPECTS THE
SAME. 
          IT'S YOU KIND OF REDUCE THE WORKLOAD OR MANAGE THE WORKLOAD BASED OFF OF YOUR ABILITY TO
DO EVERYTHING WITH EXCELLENCE. 
          AND I WOULD SAY THAT IN MY YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS OF LIVING HERE,
I WOULD SAY THE CITY HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB OF DOING THAT. 
          BUT I KNOW THAT WHEN WE'RE PULLING STAFF INTO NUMEROUS SUBCOMMITTEES,
WE'RE PULLING STAFF AWAY FROM THEIR DAY TO DAY DUTIES, WHICH THEY'VE BEEN WILLING TO DO. SO I WOULD JUST ASK,
MAYBE, YOU KNOW, NEXT MONTH IF WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THIS, IF STAFF PROVIDES KIND OF AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ABILITY AND CAPABILITY OF MANAGING AND
WORKING THROUGH ALL THESE SUBCOMMITTEES AND ACHIEVING THE DESIRED GOALS, BECAUSE WITH EACH SUBCOMMITTEE,
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC GOAL, RIGHT? BUT WE NEED STAFF TO BE ABLE TO CARRY THAT OUT AND DO IT. 
          AND I KNOW I'VE HEARD IN THE PAST THAT COMMISSIONERS HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO DO THAT,
BUT THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBLE PERSON OR PARTY IS STAFF. 
          AND SO WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THEM OR WITH THEM TO ACHIEVE THIS. 
          SO I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A BALANCE AND I HAVE GROWN MORE AND MORE CONCERNED. 
          [01:35:04]
I'VE MENTIONED THIS IN PAST COMMISSION MEETINGS. 
          BUT AS WE DISCUSS ALL OF THESE SUBCOMMITTEES,
WHICH ARE ALL VERY IMPORTANT, I DON'T WANT TO DISMISS OR MINIMIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF ANY OF THEM, BUT I'M GROWING MORE AND MORE CONCERNED. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT COMMENT, THANKS. SO I HEAR YOUR CONCERN,
BUT I'M JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE LIST OF SUBCOMMITTEES. 
          AND SO PRESERVATION IS SOMETHING THAT'S REQUIRED. 
          SO, AND THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THIS COMMISSION OR THROUGH THE
PRESERVATION COMMISSION. 
          FACILITIES USER SUBCOMMITTEE, THE ONLY TIME THAT WE HAVE STAFF INVOLVEMENT IS THAT IS WHEN
WE SET OUR MEETING DATES, WHICH ARE MAYBE TWICE A YEAR. AND THAT'S WHEN A COUPLE OR MAYBE ONLY ONE PERSON FROM
COMMUNITY SERVICES COMES AND ATTENDS THAT MEETING. VOLUNTEER ACKNOWLEDGMENT PROGRAM,
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THE STAFF IS INVOLVED IN THAT. 
          KELLY, I THINK THAT THERE'S LIKE A COUPLE BACK AND FORTH ABOUT,
BECAUSE I THINK THAT COMMISSIONER ROWE DOES MOST OF THE SCREENING AND THEN THEN SUBMITS THOSE TO KELLY. BRINGING HISTORY TO THE COMMUNITY SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          I PERSONALLY HAVEN'T TALKED TO STAFF IN REGARDS TO ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING IN THAT
SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          FRANKLIN PARK PLAYGROUND, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED BY THE CITY,
AND THAT WAS FOR A PROJECT. 
          AND WE DID MEET A FEW TIMES ON THAT ONE. BUT THAT ONE IS DISSOLVING SOON. 
          ALTA VISTA PARK PICKLEBALL SUBCOMMITTEE, THAT WAS ACTUALLY,
I THINK, A PRETTY IMPORTANT SUBCOMMITTEE, AND THEY DID DO A LOT OF INTERFACING WITH THE STAFF,
BUT THAT WAS WORK THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO DO REGARDLESS IF IT HAD PUBLIC INPUT OR NOT. PRESERVATION OUTREACH, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ON THAT YET. 
          AND I GUESS I WOULD ASSUME THAT THAT WE WOULD GET TOGETHER AND WE WOULD DO SOME WORK AHEAD
OF ASKING FOR A MEETING WITH STAFF TO DISCUSS, YOU KNOW, MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR IDEAS OR WHATEVER. 
          RECOGNITION SUBCOMMITTEE. YEAH, WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING. 
          BUDGET COMMITTEE, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AFTER WE SPOKE ABOUT THESE COMMITTEES
BEFORE, THAT WE CAN MEET WITHOUT HAVING A STAFF PRESENT AT THESE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS. 
          AND SO, AGAIN, LIKE, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE, YOU KNOW,
WE COULD DO SOME OF THE WORK AND THEN BRING STAFF IN WHEN WE WANT TO, WHEN WE HAVE LIKE AN ACTION ITEM THAT WE NEED THEIR HELP ON OR. 
          AND THEN THEN ALSO WE DID HAVE A LOT OF STAFF INTERFACING WITH THE PARK RANGER COMMITTEE. 
          BUT THAT WAS, THAT'S KIND OF, I JUST I DON'T NECESSARILY SEE HOW STAFF IS. 
          I THINK STAFF IS REALLY WORKING FOR THE COMMISSION. 
          WHEN WE ASK THEM A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND ASK THEM TO BRING BACK,
YOU KNOW REPORTS AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON THAT,
BUT I JUST WENT DOWN. 
          AND I ALSO FEEL LIKE IT MIGHT BE WORTH POINTING OUT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH A LOT
HERE. 
          AND SO MAYBE IF WE STILL HAVE THOSE FOUR OTHER COMMISSIONS,
THEY WOULD HAVE THESE SUBCOMMITTEES WORKING ON THIS STUFF. 
          I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT FEEDBACK? WELL, I WOULD JUST SAY THAT PRIOR TO THIS ON PRESERVATION,
WE ACTUALLY HAD A DEDICATED STAFF MEMBER, DEDICATED TO PRESERVATION. THE CITY NO LONGER HAS A POSITION DEDICATED. 
          ACTUALLY, THEY DO NOW. THEY HAVE A CONSULTANT THEY BRING IN WHO'S ACTUALLY AN EXPERT FROM
LAGUNA BEACH. 
          AND I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE STUFF HE'S ACTUALLY BEING FARMED OUT FOR SOME OF THE
PRESERVATION STUFF BECAUSE HE HAS THE ABILITY TO NOT ONLY DO IT, BUT TEACH THE STAFF HERE WHO HAVEN'T DONE IT BEFORE ABOUT ALL THE STUFF. 
          I'M JUST, I JUST KNOW THAT THERE'S NOBODY IN HOUSE. 
          AND I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PERSON LEAVING. 
          AND I APPRECIATE THE, YOUR PERSPECTIVE. AND,
AND I GUESS MY COMMENT WAS MADE TO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BANDWIDTH OF STAFF IS. YOU KIND OF WENT THROUGH ALL THE SUBCOMMITTEES AND YOU SAID,
YEAH, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THAT MUCH WORK. 
          MY CONCERN IS THAT PERHAPS BEHIND THE SCENES,
MAYBE THERE'S MORE WORK THAN WE'RE AWARE OF. 
          AND SO I'M ASKING STAFF TO COME BACK AND LET US KNOW KIND OF WHAT THE LIMITATIONS ARE OF
STAFF. 
          IF THE NUMBER OF SUBCOMMITTEES THAT WE'VE SUGGESTED IS WITHIN THEIR CAPABILITY OF DOING IT
AGAIN, WITH EXCELLENCE WHILE DOING THEIR WORK, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THE ANSWER MAY COME BACK. 
          SURE. WE HAVE WE HAVE ROOM FOR MORE. I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE STAFF'S
INVOLVEMENT IN IS FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE IN SOME OF THESE SUBCOMMITTEES, BECAUSE IF THERE'S MORE WORK BEING DONE BEHIND THE SCENES,
ON A COMMISSION, ON A COMMITTEE THAT I'M INVOLVED WITH, AND I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO ANY STAFF. AND I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT WORK THEY'RE DOING THAT
THEY HAVEN'T, BECAUSE IT'S NOT PART OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE,
WHAT, THE UPDATE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE. 
          [01:40:08]
YEAH, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY COULD BE DOING,
BUT. 
          YEAH. GO AHEAD. SORRY. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. 
          I ACTUALLY THINK THIS IS LIKE A PRETTY HEALTHY DISCUSSION TO HAVE AS IT PERTAINS TO THE
SUBCOMMITTEES. 
          I JUST WANT TO MAKE THE POINT OF LIKE, AND YOU CAN ALWAYS JUMP IN AND CORRECT ME,
BUT I'M JUST SAYING THIS FROM MY GENERAL KIND OF LIKE INTERACTIONS WITH, LIKE, MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT TYPICALLY LIKE, LET ME LET ME KIND OF ARTICULATE THIS TO OUR
COMMISSION. 
          I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF STAFF WORKLOAD, BUT I THINK IT'S NOT AS MUCH TO THE
SUBCOMMITTEES AS IT IS TO JUST THE GENERAL FUNCTION OF THIS COMMISSION, RIGHT? LIKE EVERY AGENDA ITEM THAT WE ASKED TO COME BACK WITH,
LIKE TEN QUESTIONS, IS MUCH MORE STAFF TIME THAN THE TIME THAT IT IS TO PARTICIPATE ON THE SUBCOMMITTEES, RIGHT? LIKE IF WE HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM THAT WE HAVE TEN POINTS TO COME BACK
TO, RIGHT? THAT'S AN AGENDA ITEM. I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE MINUTES ALONE. 
          I'M KIDDING, I'M KIDDING. THAT'S MY POINT. SO NO,
YOU'RE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. 
          I MEAN, CERTAINLY THE SUBCOMMITTEES, IT'S A REALLY INTANGIBLE BECAUSE THEY'RE AT DIFFERENT
LEVELS AND SOME ARE AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND THERE'S DIFFERENT REQUESTS. 
          BUT JUST THE COMMISSION ALONE. THAT WAS SPEAKING. 
          FOR MY COLLEAGUES, DEPENDING ON WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA,
CAN DEFINITELY TAKE. 
          AGAIN, WE'RE HAPPY TO DO IT. WE'RE HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE COMMISSION,
BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE OVERALL MORE TIME THAN THE SUBCOMMITTEES. 
          THAT WAS MY POINT. SO, TO ACTUALLY GO WITH WHAT COMMISSIONER CALDWELL SAYING,
I THINK WE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY STAY MINDFUL OF STAFF TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF THINGS JUST WITH OUR OPERATION OF THE OF THE COMMISSION,
RIGHT? AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I WAS KIND OF GETTING THE FEEL THAT LIKE,
IF WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT STAFF TIME AND LIKE JUST CURSORY KIND OF TIME THAT'S USED, IT'S THE REQUEST ITEMS ON INDIVIDUAL AGENDIZED ITEMS AS OPPOSED TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE STUFF. 
          SO I WOULD PROBABLY SAY, YOU KNOW, I AGREE, LIKE,
I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE JUST KIND OF GENERALLY MINDFUL ABOUT OUR ASKS IN GENERAL TO SEE WHAT THE POSSIBILITY IS. AGAIN, LIKE, YOU KNOW,
IF WE ARE GOING TO ASK, WE'RE GOING TO ASK, RIGHT? BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR STAFF IN THIS CITY,
AND I'VE WORKED WITH A LOT OF CITIES ARE REALLY GOOD AT KIND OF PRIORITIZING, LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW. I DON'T THINK THAT WITH OUR COMMISSION ASKS,
THEY'RE GOING TO STOP GENERAL OPERATIONS OF LIKE A FUNCTION IN THE CITY, RIGHT? OBVIOUSLY, LIKE, I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE INSINUATING. WE JUST DON'T
WANT TO ADD TO THAT WORKLOAD AND TRY TO MITIGATE SOME OF THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT THIS IS PROBABLY A GREAT TIME TO KIND OF REMIND,
LIKE THE FUNCTION OF SUBCOMMITTEES AND SAY LIKE, HEY, IF THEY'RE OF NO USE GOING FORWARD, RIGHT? LIKE, WE SHOULD PROBABLY BE MINDFUL OF REMOVING OR ABOLISHING THE SUBCOMMITTEES AS WE FIND
NECESSARY, BUT JUST TO ACTUALLY KIND OF GO WITH COMMISSIONER CALDWELL'S POINT,
I DO THINK THAT IS APPROPRIATE TO SAY THAT WE SHOULD ALL KIND OF JUST REMAIN MINDFUL OF STAFF TIME, ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY THAT I DON'T THINK THAT THE ISSUE NECESSARILY IS THE
SUBCOMMITTEES. 
          I THINK IT'S THE GENERAL ASKS REGARDING ITEMS IN THE AGENDA. 
          COMMISSIONER CALDWELL, WERE YOU HERE AT THE LAST MEETING? YES. SO I FEEL LIKE AT SOME ONE OF THE MEETINGS,
WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT WANTING TO TAKE ON MORE WORK SO THAT THE STAFF DOESN'T, AND NOT ASK STAFF FOR THEM TO DO MORE RESEARCH OR WHATEVER. 
          AND I THOUGHT WE DISCUSSED SUBCOMMITTEES BEING A GREAT WAY TO EXPLORE IDEAS AND DO SOME OF
THE WORK. AND I THINK THAT'S WHY WE CAME UP WITH THE PRESERVATION OUTREACH SUBCOMMITTEE,
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS. 
          I MEAN, AND IT WAS KIND OF THE. YEAH, I THINK. 
          ALSO YOU KNOW, I HAD SUBMITTED THESE TWO GOALS,
THE ONE FOR THE PICKLEBALL SUBCOMMITTEE AND THE PRESERVATION SUBCOMMITTEE AS, AS PER YOUR REQUEST, CHAIR. AND IT WAS A GOOD EXERCISE BECAUSE IT HAD ME FOCUS ON
EXACTLY THAT. 
          WHAT IS IT THAT WE WANT THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO BE DOING? AND ARE WE BEING HELPFUL? BECAUSE IN MY MIND AS WELL,
THE PURPOSE OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE BEING THAT WE ARE SUCH A HUGE COMMISSION COMPRISED OF FOUR DIFFERENT ARMS,
AND THAT WE CANNOT GET ALL OF THE WORK DONE THAT WE WANT TO GET DONE IN OUR PARTICULAR MEETINGS THAT IN ORDER TO HELP OUR STAFF MOVE ALONG CERTAIN THINGS,
LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PICKLEBALL SUBCOMMITTEE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE THAT WORK AS COMMISSIONER LANG SUGGESTS,
NEEDS TO BE DONE REGARDLESS. 
          [01:45:06]
AND I AND ONE OF THE PICKLEBALL AMBASSADORS FOR REDONDO BEACH HAVE DONE THE LEGWORK FOR
ALL OF THE RESEARCH SO THAT STAFF HAS AN EASIER TIME TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE DECISIONS THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE,
BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THEY WILL BE MAKING THE DECISIONS AND THEY IT WILL COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION HERE FOR US TO REVIEW IT. 
          BUT WE ARE DOING ALL THE LEGWORK FOR HER. AND THAT WAS THE INTENT OF THIS PICKLEBALL
SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          SO THAT'S WHY I DETAILED IT. AND A LOT OF THE WORK HAS BEEN ALREADY DONE. 
          WE'VE HAD TWO ALL OF TWO MEETINGS AND WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER ONE NEXT WEEK. 
          PRESERVATION, YOU KNOW, I HAD SPOKEN A NUMBER OF TIMES ABOUT THE FACT THAT OUR
PRESERVATION PLAN HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED SINCE 1996. OUR SURVEY HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE 1996. WE HAVE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THEM,
BUT HERE ARE OUR CURRENT BROCHURES. 
          THEY ARE VERY OUTDATED, SO. AND WE NEED TO BE WORKING ON THESE THINGS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW WHEN I MET WITH MARC, HE ACTUALLY EXPRESSED RIGHT HERE IN OUR MEETING THAT
HE WAS REALLY QUITE EXCITED THAT WE WERE OFFERING THIS HELP. SO WE'RE TAKING SOME THINGS OFF OF HIS PLATE TRYING TO FARM OUT,
FOR EXAMPLE, I'M TRYING TO FIND SOMEBODY TO DO THIS WORK. I WAS HOPING JEFF COULD BE HELPFUL BECAUSE HIS WIFE ACTUALLY IS
GRAPHIC ARTIST. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO MOVE OUR PRESERVATION,
SOME OF THE PRESERVATION ITEMS FORWARD, BECAUSE WE HAVE ACTUALLY A LOT MORE WORK TO DO. 
          THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, AND A LOT OF IT CAN BE DONE,
YOU KNOW, THROUGH OUR HANDS HERE, AS YOU KNOW, COMMISSION MEMBERS IN OUR SUBCOMMITTEES,
IN OUR OWN TIME, AND OBVIOUSLY NOT DURING THE DAY. 
          BUT I WILL BE SENDING YOU A COUPLE OF THINGS,
IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
          I DON'T MIND, I DON'T MIND. SO, BUT I DO I DO HEAR YOUR CONCERN. 
          AND IT'S YOU KNOW, A RIGHTFUL CONCERN TO LOOK AT THIS LIST. 
          RIGHT. FOR SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING TO LOOK AT IT. 
          IT COULD BE A LITTLE BIT INTIMIDATING. AND, YOU KNOW,
WITHOUT HAVING SPOKEN TO WHAT EACH INDIVIDUAL SUBCOMMITTEE DOES. 
          AND THE PURPOSE OF IT, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,
BUT I WANT TO PUT YOUR HEART AT REST OR AT EASE THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR OVERALL AIM IS TO OFFLOAD THE WORK FOR OUR
STAFF AND NOT TO ADD TO IT, BUT TO MAKE IT EASIER. THANK YOU. AND I THINK ALSO AND THAT'S WHY I SPENT SOME
TIME LAST MONTH GOING OVER THE NEW STATUTE, THE NEW ORDINANCE THAT THE CITY PUT OUT. 
          I MEAN, SOME OF THE STUFF IS DICTATED BY WHAT THE CITY IS EXPECTING FROM ITS COMMISSION. 
          THE STUFF THAT I DO WITH THE HISTORY STUFF I KNOW THAT THE DIRECTOR OVER THERE HAS 450
ITEMS ON THE PLATE, AND YOU COULD SEE THAT HER PLATE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. 
          BUT ULTIMATELY, AND YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR IT WHEN I GIVE MY REPORT THAT THEY THEY'RE THE
ONLY ONES WHO CAN MAKE A DECISION. 
          THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN FORWARD. AND ALL I CAN DO IS GIVE THEM AS A COMPLETE
PROJECT AS I CAN SO THAT THE DECISION MAKING IS RELATIVELY EASY. 
          I MEAN, I TALK EVERY TIME ABOUT RIVIERA PARK. 
          I MEAN, COMMISSIONER LANG ACTUALLY SPENT TIME REVISING THAT. 
          AND ULTIMATELY IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF WHEN DOES IT PERCOLATE UP TO GET RESOLVED? I'M STILL SCREENING CALLS WITH REGARDS TO THE PERSON WHO WANTS TO PAY FOR IT ALL,
BUT AT SOME POINT, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL MAKE A DECISION ON IT. AND SO,
I DON'T. 
          AT LEAST WITH COMMUNITY SERVICES, I'M SEEING A NICE CHANGE IN THERE AS THEY'RE GETTING
LONGER IN TIME IN THERE. 
          AND SO I DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT. I CAN'T SAY,
HEY, AND YOU'VE TAUGHT ME THIS SO WELL, I CAN'T SAY, HEY, YOU NEED TO DO THIS BY NEXT MONTH. IT'S YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO IT WHEN YOU GET TO IT. 
          AND THE ALL I CAN DO IS TRY TO MAKE YOUR JOB A LOT EASIER SO THAT WHEN YOU DO GET TO IT,
IT DOESN'T TAKE ANY MUCH AMOUNT OF YOUR TIME. 
          SO I THINK WE ARE KIND OF SENSITIZED TO THAT. 
          [01:50:02]
AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU STICKING UP FOR THE STAFF BECAUSE I THINK THEY DO A GOOD JOB. 
          I TRY NOT TO OVERWHELM DANA AS WELL. AND THIS IS MY SECOND COMMISSION WITH THEM. 
          SO YOU KNOW, I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE IT A SHOT AND SEE HOW IT WORKS. 
          AND IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS, I EXPECT OUR LIAISON TO COME BACK AND TELL US,
HEY, YOU KNOW, LAY OFF A LITTLE BIT ON IT. 
          I'M KIND OF EXCITED. WHAT? NO, I'M. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS PRESERVATION OUTREACH,
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR WHO'S SAYING, COME DO SOME OF THIS STUFF FOR ME AND MAKE IT EASIER. 
          AND I KNOW THAT THE CITY IS GOING TO BE DOING A WHOLE THING ON PRESERVATION IN THE NEXT
SIX OR SO MONTHS. 
          AND THEY'RE GEARING UP FOR IT. AND OUR ROLE IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT. 
          AND THAT OUTREACH COMMITTEE THING IS GOING TO PROBABLY END UP BEING PART OF SOME POLICY
DISCUSSION AT SOME POINT, SO. THAT'S CORRECT, CHAIR. AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I'M TOLD THAT ON JANUARY 6TH PRESERVATION WILL BE AN ITEM AT THE COUNCIL MEETING IN THE EVENT THAT WE WANT TO PUT THAT ON OUR CALENDARS TO ATTEND. 
          OKAY. YEAH. CHECK YOUR AGENDAS AT THE COUNCIL BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO POP UP A LOT. 
          BUT ANYWAY, I DO APPRECIATE THE POINT. AND I'M ACTUALLY YOU'RE LIKE,
MY INSPIRATION FOR HOW I DO THINGS HERE. 
          SO UNLESS THERE'S FURTHER DISCUSSION, THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR THAT'S BEEN SECONDED. 
          I'M NOT EVEN REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS, BUT I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING TO RECEIVE AND FILE IT AND
CARRY THIS OVER TO THE NEXT MONTH. 
          SO IS HEARING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR,
RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          ALL THOSE OPPOSED. OKAY. SO IT'S UNANIMOUS AGAIN. 
          OKAY, SO NOW WE MOVE ON TO L.3, WHICH IS OUR COMMITTEE REPORTS. 
          I THINK WE'VE KIND OF GONE THROUGH SOME OF IT,
BUT WE'LL GO THROUGH IT REALLY QUICKLY. 
          YOU HAVE A REQUEST ON THIS ONE BEFORE I GO ASK THE,
OKAY. 
          SO WE'LL START WITH MINOR ALTERATION SUBCOMMITTEE,
ANY? WE HAVE NONE. YOU HAVE NONE. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO FACILITY USERS. 
          WE HAVE NONE, I'M TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH COMMISSIONER MCCAULEY. 
          I DON'T BELIEVE HE WAS HERE THE LAST MEETING OR TODAY,
SO I'M GOING TO HOPE TO SEE IF I CAN SPEAK WITH HIM BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING, COME BACK WITH AN UPDATE. YEAH, I EMAILED HIM TOO. 
          OKAY. VOLUNTEER ACKNOWLEDGMENT PROGRAM SUBCOMMITTEE,
I THINK. 
          I ALSO GOT ON THIS COMMITTEE AS OF THE LAST MEETING,
I WAS HOPING TO SPEAK WITH COMMISSIONER ROWE. 
          I'M GOING TO ALSO TRY TO SEE IF I CAN HAVE A MEETING OR CONVERSATION WITH HIM PRIOR TO THE
NEXT MEETING, AND WE CAN REPORT BACK. OKAY. THE BRINGING HISTORY TO COMMUNITY SUBCOMMITTEE,
MY REPORT IS WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THE THREE SIGNS IN THE ITO FAMILY PARK THAT DESCRIBE THE JAPANESE INTERNMENT,
THE EXECUTIVE ORDER, AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FAMILY. I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WRITING ANY OF THE THINGS
ABOUT THE SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF IT. 
          SO WE GOT PERMISSION FROM THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE TO USE THEIR TEXT THAT THEY'VE VETTED
THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. 
          AND THEN ON THE FAMILY I WROTE SOMETHING UP. COMMISSIONER LANG IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT
IT TO EDIT IT AND MAKE IT FINER, I KNOW. AND THIS IS ANOTHER ONE WHERE IT'S LIKE,
I DON'T I'M NOT WEDDED TO THE SIGN TEXT. 
          SO ANY CHANGES? THE DIRECTOR WHO'S GOING TO HAVE TO APPROVE IT ANYWAY IN ORDER TO SIGN? THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THEIR EDITS ON IT. SO THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT ONE. 
          FRANKLIN PARK SUBCOMMITTEE WENT TO A COUNCIL MEETING. 
          YEAH, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH DONE. IT WAS VOTED BY THE COUNCIL. 
          APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL. SO, WE'RE JUST. YEAH,
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK A COUPLE OF THE THINGS THAT WE RECOMMENDED, LIKE ADDING THE PLAYGROUND TO THE WEBSITE AND NOTING THAT IT'S FOR ALL ABILITIES,
I THINK SO, THAT WAS NICE. BUT, YEAH, I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DISSOLVE THAT ONE THEN,
RIGHT? I THINK, YEAH, I THINK AFTER, AFTER IT GETS BUILT IN THE EVENT THAT THERE ARE ANY CHANGES
THAT COME ALONG OR, YOU KNOW, QUESTIONS REGARDING FUNDING OR THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          WOULD IT, SO IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME TO GET BUILT. 
          WOULD IT BE BETTER TO JUST REESTABLISH THE COMMISSION OR,
COMMISSION, REESTABLISH THE SUBCOMMITTEE AT THAT TIME IF THERE'S A NEED? FOR THE PURPOSES OF IT NOT SHOWING UP ON THE MASSIVE LIST AND MAKING US FEEL NERVOUS I
MEAN, 
          [01:55:01]
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THAT. IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL. 
          I MEAN, WE'RE NOT THERE'S NO WORK BEING DONE CURRENTLY THAT REQUIRE ANY OF THE
COMMISSIONERS WORK. 
          CAN WE. THERE MAY BE, THERE ARE THINGS, NOT MAYBE,
THERE ARE THINGS THAT, STAFF ARE WORKING ON AND CONTINUE TO WORK ON. 
          BUT WE, THE COMMISSIONERS THAT ARE SERVING ON THAT COMMITTEE HAVE NO WORK CURRENTLY,
SO. 
          YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO REPORT BACK TO US OF THINGS THAT. 
          YES, I MEAN, IF THEY, YOU KNOW, IF WE GET ANY INFORMATION,
YEAH, FOR SURE. 
          MAYBE WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY BEFORE WE DECIDE TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE
IMPLEMENTATION STAGE AT THIS POINT. 
          YEAH. BECAUSE I MEAN, THE PROJECT IS HAS NOT BEEN BUILT YET. 
          RIGHT? SO YOU'RE ADDING SOME THINGS TO I THINK. 
          AND THEY HAVE WONDERFUL VIDEOS THAT THEY DIDN'T BRING TO US,
BUT IT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE ON THE FRANKLIN PARK? NO. 
          OKAY. PICKLEBALL. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? SURE. 
          I JUST WANTED TO ADD A COUPLE OF PIECES OF INFORMATION. 
          SO THE AS YOU HEARD DIRECTOR ORTA MENTIONED,
THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A FUNDING ISSUE, AND THAT'S WHAT WAS HOLDING UP THE RESURFACING OF THE COURTS. CURRENTLY THERE'S A 20 TO $30,000 DELTA FROM WHAT WE HAD AVAILABLE, WHICH I THINK THERE WAS $90,000 THAT WAS APPROPRIATED BY THE CITY. 
          TEN OF IT WAS SPENT ON THE SOUND STUDY. AND THEN THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL 25,000 FOR, I THINK IT WAS THE SOUND MITIGATION CURTAINS. 
          ANYWAY, THE DELTA IS 20 TO 30,000. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE FUNDING FOR. 
          I HAD MET WITH KELLY EARLIER THIS WEEK, AND I HAD ALSO ASKED THE QUESTION IF WE COULDN'T GET THAT FUNDING, THE GRANT FUNDING,
WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO ASK COUNCIL MEMBERS IF THEY HAD ANY DISCRETIONARY FUNDS LEFT. INITIALLY,
I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD APPROACH COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER SINCE THE, IT'S IN DISTRICT ONE. BUT THEN IN THINKING ABOUT IT,
YOU KNOW, THIS IS A, AN AMENITY FOR THE ENTIRE CITY. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, THE QUESTION WOULD BE, COULD EACH COUNCIL MEMBER CONTRIBUTE SOME OF THEIR
DISCRETIONARY FUNDS TO HELP US GET PAST THIS LITTLE BUDGET DEFICIT? IN THE END KELLY DID MENTION THAT IF WE IF WE DON'T HAVE THIS GRANT FUNDING AND THERE IS NO MONEY IN DISCRETIONARY FUNDS,
THEN IT WOULD JUST GO TO, TO COUNCIL FOR THEM TO YOU KNOW, TO DO AN APPROPRIATION FOR THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. 
          BUT WE CAN'T BE HOLDING UP THE PROJECT INDEFINITELY. 
          IT HAS TO MOVE FORWARD. SO THAT'S IT. AND WE'RE JUST WE'RE WORKING ON THE,
A SCHEDULE, A PLAY SCHEDULE, THE FEES, ALL OF THAT TYPE OF STUFF. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW. 
          SO THAT WAY WE'RE READY FOR SOME DAY WHEN WE HAVE COURTS. 
          HAVE YOU ASKED YOUR COUNCIL PERSON IF THEY'RE ABOUT THE THOUGHT ABOUT THE DISCRETIONARY
FUND STUFF? THAT THAT'S LITERALLY A CONVERSATION I HAD WITH KELLY ON MONDAY. 
          OKAY. AND SO TODAY'S WEDNESDAY, SO NOT YET, BUT IT'S ON THE TOP OF MY MIND. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. PRESERVATION OUTREACH SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          YEAH. THERE'S BASICALLY YOU SAW FROM THE REPORT THAT I THAT I INCLUDED THERE IN THE BLUE
PACKET, THE BLUE FOLDER PACKET THAT WE JUST CAME UP WITH SOME,
SOME PROJECTS TO DO EASY PROJECTS. 
          AND MY QUESTION TO DIRECTOR ORTA, KIND OF REFRAMES THE TIMELINE NOW FOR THE OUTREACH EVENT
BECAUSE MARC HAD THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD HAVE IT IN FRONT OF THE HISTORIC LIBRARY WOULD BE THE
MOST APPROPRIATE PLACE TO HAVE THIS EVENT AND MAKES THE MOST SENSE. SO SORRY, WHAT WAS THE EVENT? IT'S A,
IT'S AN OUTREACH EVENT MEANT FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN LANDMARKED AND HAVE LANDMARK DESIGNATION AND
OR MILLS ACT CONTRACTS, AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO GET TOGETHER,
TO SHARE PHOTOGRAPHS, TO TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY. 
          [02:00:03]
SO IT'S LIKE A IT'S A REALLY A FEEL GOOD EVENT,
BUT IT'S ALSO AN EDUCATION EVENT BECAUSE ANYBODY IN THE CITY COULD PARTICIPATE IN THIS. 
          ANYBODY COULD COME TO THIS. MARC RECOMMENDED. 
          HE HAD SOME GREAT IDEAS. ALL OF THIS CAME, YOU KNOW,
FROM HIM. 
          HE HE GOT ME EXCITED ABOUT IT. HE RECOMMENDED THAT WE HAVE GUEST SPEAKERS ATTEND. 
          SO THIS IS OUR FIRST, LET'S SAY, STEP FORWARD INTO EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY BETTER,
EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY ON OUR PRESERVATION PROGRAM AND TO HAVE PEOPLE HAVE A SENSE OF PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP,
TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP OF A LANDMARKED PROPERTY. LET ME SUGGEST ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE,
GERTRUDE, IS WHERE WE HAVE THE NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT AND ALMOST A LOT OF THE HOUSES OVER THERE. 
          THEY HAVE A BLOCK PARTY EVERY YEAR, AND I THINK THEY'VE BEEN GOING FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS,
A BLOCK PARTY. 
          AND THAT MAY BE A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN SEE IF THEY'LL LET YOU SET UP SOME SORT OF TABLE,
OR THEY CAN HAVE AN OPEN FORUM. 
          SO IF PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, THEN THEY CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE
THESE HISTORIC HOMES. 
          GERTRUDA OR GARNETT? GERTRUDA. GERTRUDA. GARNETT MAY BE HERE NEXT MONTH. 
          I DON'T KNOW. BUT GERTRUDA HAS A WHOLE BLOCK RIGHT FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL. 
          SO THE AMPLE AREA TO PARK, AND IT'S GOT A MARKER OUT THERE THAT SAYS THE NATIONAL HISTORIC
DISTRICT. 
          SO IT MAY BE GOOD FOR THAT. I THINK GEORGETTE GANTNER WHO YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN AT THE
COUNCIL MEETING, I THINK SHE OWNS A HOME OVER THERE, SO SHE MAY BE IN ON THAT AS WELL. 
          OKAY, ANYTHING ELSE? NO. OKAY. UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS. 
          RECOGNITION PRESERVATION SUBCOMMITTEE. I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY HAD TIME TO WORK ON IT. 
          WE KIND OF WENT BACK TO WORK AFTER NOT WORKING FOR A WHILE. 
          SO I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THAT. AND I THINK COMMISSIONER YOUSUFZAI YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT THE
BUDGET COMMITTEE, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? NOPE, THAT'S IT. OKAY,
GREAT. 
          SO CAN I GET A MOTION TO. ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? THERE ARE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS. CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE SUBCOMMITTEE
REVIEW AND PROJECT UPDATE. 
          SO MOVED. OKAY. CAN I GET A SECOND? SECOND. GREAT. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. THAT'S EVERYBODY. 
          NOBODY'S OPPOSED. GREAT. SO NOW WE MOVE ON. ITEMS FOR STAFF. 
          [M. ITEMS FROM STAFF]
STAFF? WE HAVE NO ITEMS. WE WILL BE MEETING IN JANUARY. 
          WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE LIST OF MEETING DATES FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          WE CAN BRING THAT BACK. THE ONLY DATE THAT APPEARS TO BE IN CONFLICT IS IN NOVEMBER,
WHERE IT FALLS ON VETERAN'S DAY, BUT WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HAS
INDICATED THAT THEY PLAN ON HAVING A HEARING IN JANUARY, SO WE HAVE COMMITTED TO THAT DATE. WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THAT. 
          THANK YOU. OKAY. DID YOU. I KNOW YOU SENT ME A COPY OF ALL THE DATES YOU SENT. 
          I CAN SEND IT OUT TO EVERYBODY. NO. OKAY. IS THERE AN OBJECTION TO GETTING THOSE SENT OUT
TO EVERYBODY ELSE? I DON'T HAVE AN OBJECTION, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION,
JUST AS IT PERTAINS TO, AND I THINK I MENTIONED THIS DURING THE LAST MEETING TO I DON'T KNOW. DO YOU GUYS FURLOUGH? RIGHT. YOU GUYS GET. 
          WE DO, AND I THINK THE PREVIOUS YEAR WE, I THINK WE AGREED NOT TO HAVE A JANUARY MEETING
BECAUSE IT WAS BASICALLY THE, IT FELL OFF, LIKE, RIGHT AFTER,
BUT WE ANTICIPATE, AT LEAST BEING ABLE TO CONDUCT THAT HEARING. 
          BUT WE WILL BE BACK ON THE 2ND OF JANUARY JUST IN TIME TO PUT,
YOU KNOW, GET THINGS READY TOGETHER FOR THE AGENDA. 
          IT'LL BE A TIGHT TURNAROUND TIME. BUT AGAIN. I WAS GOING TO SAY. WE WANT TO ACCOMMODATE TO
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND USUALLY THOSE HEARINGS ARE OF A TIME SENSITIVE NATURE. 
          SO I ASSUME MICHAEL DOES IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? NO. OKAY. NOW WE'LL DO COMMISSIONER MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE
COMMISSION AGENDA TOPIC. 
          [N. COMMISSION MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS]
I DON'T SEE COMMISSIONER CALDWELL WILL START ON THIS END. COMMISSIONER GALASSI. 
          YES. SO, IF ANYBODY HAS BEEN FOLLOWING ALONG ON THE SIGN,
THE REDONDO BEACH KING HARBOR SIGN, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CHATTER ON FACEBOOK. THE COUNCIL VOTED TO UPDATE THE SIGN ON TUESDAY. SO, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT THE CENTER IMAGE WILL BE REMOVED
AND WILL BE REPLACED 
          [02:05:06]
WITH THE NEW APPROVED CITY LOGO, AND THE LETTERING WILL ALSO CHANGE,
THE FONT, WILL ALSO CHANGE, AND THE WORDING ON THE BOTTOM AS WELL WILL CHANGE. 
          THERE'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT PUSHBACK FROM THE PUBLIC REGARDING THOSE CHANGES. 
          THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE FELT THAT THIS SIGN NOT ONLY IS ICONIC,
BUT POTENTIALLY A GOOD REPRESENTATIVE FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION. 
          BUT BECAUSE IT IS ON CITY PROPERTY THAT NOMINATION WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM THE CITY TO BE
NOMINATED TO BE EVALUATED FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT COULD STILL HAPPEN. 
          BASED ON THE CHANGES THAT HAVE, THAT ARE GOING TO OCCUR WITH THIS PARTICULAR SIGN. 
          BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE DO NEED TO AGENDIZE BECAUSE IN ADDITION TO THE CHANGES THAT
THE COUNCIL VOTED ON, THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE CENTER IMAGE BE SAVED AND PUT IN THE MUSEUM. 
          SO I THINK IT'S QUITE A BIG ITEM TO BE PUTTING IN A MUSEUM. 
          SO I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD AGENDIZE AND DISCUSS HOW THAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN. 
          THE OTHER ITEM THAT I'D LIKE TO AGENDIZE JUST BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S A TIMELY ISSUE IS HOW WE
WOULD LIKE TO COMMEMORATE THE HISTORY OF THIS SIGN BECAUSE IT HAS CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE
YEARS. 
          AND SO I'D LIKE TO PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA, PLEASE. 
          OKAY, SO YOU'RE PROPOSING TWO DIFFERENT AGENDA TOPICS. 
          YES. OR YOU WANTED IT IN ONE? THE SAME AGENDA,
IF POSSIBLE, SINCE IT'S THE SAME. 
          OKAY, SO YOU WANT FIRST AN AGENDA DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LOGO,
CORRECT. 
          OR THE WHATEVER THE CENTER. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DESCRIBE. WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITH THAT.
OKAY. 
          BECAUSE SINCE THE COUNCIL HAS VOTED THAT IT BE SAVED,
AND WE HAVE TO DETERMINE, SINCE THEY'RE RECOMMENDING THAT IT BE PUT IN THE MUSEUM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS,
I THINK. 
          OKAY. THAT'S GOING TO BE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL,
IS WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING? YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN THE SECOND ITEM IS SOME SORT OF I CALL IT A PATH OF HISTORY,
BUT SOME SORT OF MARKER THAT'S ON THE PROPERTY ITSELF. 
          WELL, THAT'S WHAT THE DISCUSSION WOULD BE, WHETHER IT'S ON THE PROPERTY THERE OR FOR
EXAMPLE, AT THE PARK THAT'S CURRENTLY BEING. I'M JUST TRYING TO NARROW IT DOWN SO THAT WE ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT. 
          SO IT'S SOMEHOW MAKING A COMMEMORATIVE. YES. MARKER FOR THAT OR,
COMMEMORATIVE SIGN OR. YES. EVEN POSTING SOMETHING ONLINE WOULD BE,
WITHIN WHAT YOUR PARAMETERS ARE. 
          OKAY, SO THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT I PICKED OUT OF THIS THAT YOU WANT TO AGENDIZE DEALING
WITH THAT CENTER LOGO. 
          IS THERE A SECOND FOR THAT TO AGENDIZE? I'LL SECOND IT. 
          OKAY. IS THERE ANY, I GUESS WE CAN'T HAVE DISCUSSION,
CAN WE? OKAY. WHY DON'T WE JUST TAKE A VOTE THEN ON IT. 
          HOW MANY WANT TO PUT IT ON IN A FUTURE AGENDA? WHEN YOU SAY FUTURE, IT MIGHT NOT BE NEXT AGENDA MIGHT BE AFTER THAT OR. 
          WELL, HERE'S THE THING I NEED TO REALLY UNDERSTAND,
OR WE NEED WE NEED TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHEN THAT'S GOING TO BE TAKEN DOWN AND WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE STORED. RIGHT, I'M NOT THE BEST TO SPEAK ON THE PROJECT TIMELINE. 
          MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY HAVE ALLOCATED FUNDING FOR IT. 
          I HAVE TO TALK TO CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND SEE WHERE THAT IS,
SO A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM WOULD PROBABLY BE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE THE APPROPRIATE STAFF PERSONNEL HERE. REGARDING THAT, I ASSUME IT WOULD BE JACK,
PERHAPS KELLY, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PLACEMENT AT THE MUSEUM. 
          SO WE'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO A LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH AND FIND OUT WHERE THAT FALLS. 
          SO AGAIN, GIVEN THE HOLIDAY, WE PROBABLY CAN'T GUARANTEE IT'LL BE JANUARY,
BUT WE COULD GET SOME INFORMATION BACK TO YOU IF YOU VOTE TO AGENDIZE IT. 
          WE SHOULD HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION, AT LEAST AS FAR AS THE DIRECTION NEXT MEETING. 
          [02:10:01]
OKAY. AND MAYBE PUBLIC WORKS BECAUSE, AND THERE'S TWO SIDES TO THAT. 
          SO THERE'S OKAY TWO CIRCLES. MAYBE WE CAN GET THE DIMENSIONS BY NEXT MEETING. 
          YEAH. I BELIEVE THE COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITY OF,
YOU KNOW, A PLACE TO LOCATE IT AGAIN. 
          I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND WATCH THE MEETING. BUT THAT WAS THE DIRECTION. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT DIRECTION WAS ALLOCATED TO A SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT,
LIKE PUBLIC WORKS AND OR COMMUNITY SERVICES IN REGARDS TO THE MUSEUM. 
          SO WE CAN GET SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THAT. YOU KNOW,
AND ALSO, IF THERE'S A TIMELINE, IF YOU HAVE MORE TIME TO PLAN ON WHERE IT'S ALLOCATED OR PRESENTATION. BUT I CAN DEFINITELY GET SOME MORE FEEDBACK ON THAT. 
          OKAY. SO WE'LL DO THE VOTE AGAIN BECAUSE I DON'T THINK EVERYBODY GOT TO VOTE. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF AGENDAZING WHATEVER THEY CALL THAT CIRCLE THING. 
          MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL. RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          ALL THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY. IT'S UNANIMOUS AGAIN. 
          AND THEN YOU WANT. SOME SORT OF HISTORICAL COMMEMORATION FOR THE SIGN WHERE IT WOULD TALK
ABOUT ITS HISTORY. SO I'M GOING TO. PHOTOGRAPHS, ETCETERA,
ETCETERA. 
          I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THE TWO-FOLD PROCESS. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WOULD COME BACK ON OUR
AGENDA, AND IT DOESN'T SOUND AS URGENT AS IT, BUT I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND BRINGING HISTORY TO THE
COMMUNITY SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          LOOK AT THAT AND MAKE A PROPOSAL. SO I GUESS WE CAN DO IT AS A DUAL THING THAT IT'S
REFERRED TO BOTH THE COMMISSION OF THE WHOLE AND TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO COME UP WITH SOME SORT OF IDEA ABOUT IT,
DOES THAT WORK? YES. OKAY. DOES THAT WORK WITH PEOPLE? DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO AGENDIZE IT THAT WAY? DOES THAT MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS? YEP. I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION. 
          GREAT. SECOND. I'LL SECOND IT. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR,
RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          ALL THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY, GREAT. SO IT'S GOING TO BE THERE. 
          AND I'LL WORK WITH YOU TO FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO MOVE IT ALONG IN THE COMMITTEE. 
          THAT'LL BE YOU, TOO, BECAUSE I CAN'T GET AHOLD OF MCCAULEY THERE. 
          OKAY, ANYTHING ELSE? I THINK THAT WAS IT. OKAY. 
          COMMISSIONER LANG. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. I'M EXCITED TO GET THIS BUDGET. 
          SOME BUDGET IDEAS TO THE COMMITTEE. SO THAT'S. 
          I'M GOING TO LEAVE ALL MY THINGS FOR THAT. OKAY. 
          COMMISSIONER YOUSUFZAI. I ALSO THINK MOST OF MY ITEMS WERE DISCUSSED EARLIER,
SO I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER. 
          COMMISSIONER CALDWELL. NO. I THINK THE DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW WE COULD BE OF ASSISTANCE TO
THE CITY COUNCIL IN RELATION TO THE SIGNAGE IS A GOOD THING. 
          OKAY, GREAT. AND I HAVE NOTHING THIS TIME. SO WITH THAT,
I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO. 
          OH, DID, WAS THERE A CONCERN ABOUT JANUARY 14TH AS A MEETING DATE? OKAY, SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN,
AND I'LL READ THE PART ONCE THAT MOTION IS MADE, IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? MOTION TO ADJOURN. 
          THANK YOU. I'LL SECOND IT. THANK YOU. SO THE NEXT MEETING OF THE REDONDO BEACH PUBLIC
AMENITIES COMMISSION WILL BE A REGULAR MEETING TO BE HELD ON AT 6:30 P.M.
