[D. PRESENTATIONS/PROCLAMATIONS/ANNOUNCEMENTS/ AB 1234 TRAVEL EXPENSE REPORTS]

THIS PAST WEEK, THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS REGIONAL COUNCIL AND THE U.S.

COUNCIL OF MAYORS MEETING IN LONG BEACH. I ALSO HAD MEETINGS WITH THE WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD.

AND THERE WAS A CONVENING CALLED BY THE COUNTY ON MARINE MAMMALS AND I ATTENDED THAT THIS WEEK.

AND UPCOMING, WE'VE GOT JUNE 13TH BEING CELEBRATED AT THE LIBRARY HERE FROM 12:00 TO 3:00.

THAT'S ALL I HAD. COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER. THANK YOU MAYOR.

LAST WEEK I ATTENDED THE L.A. COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT MEETING AS THE NOT QUITE MAYOR PRO TEM, BUT THE SUBSTITUTE ON WEDNESDAY AND THEN LATER THAT DAY WENT TO DINE AROUND RIVIERA VILLAGE.

I WALKED ABOUT TWO MILES MORE THAN USUAL AND ATE ABOUT TWO DAYS WORTH OF FOOD AS WELL MYSELF.

[00:05:02]

I'D SAY THE ONLY THING I HEARD THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A COMPLAINT WAS THAT PEOPLE FILLED UP ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH.

SO LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE AS WELL AS DINE AROUND ARTESIA.

I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION HERE, BUT THEY'RE JUST NOW ANNOUNCING DINE AROUND ARTESIA.

I ALSO WENT TO THE CLEAN POWER ALLIANCE BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK.

THE RATES OF ELECTRICITY THAT WE SET THERE FOR THE 100% GREEN, WHICH IS WHAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN REDONDO BEACH HAVE, IS ABOUT 7% HIGHER THAN SOCAL EDISON'S RATES.

THAT SAID, EDISON STILL CHARGES FOR TRANSMISSION AND A PCEA CHARGE, WHICH MEANS THAT EVEN THAT 7% HIGHER ELECTRICITY GENERATION RATE MEANS YOUR BILL IS ONLY GOING TO BE 2% OR 3% HIGHER THAN IF YOU HAD EDISON, AND YOU'D HAVE 100% GREEN POWER. IF YOU'RE ON THE GREEN POWER OR THE ANY OF THE OTHER POWERS, YOUR RATES WILL BE EITHER EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN WHAT EDISON CHARGES.

I ALSO ATTENDED THE CALIFORNIA CITIES HOUSING COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING LAST WEEK.

WE HAD A PRESENTATION ABOUT BACA, WHICH IS BUILDING AN AFFORDABLE CALIFORNIA ACT SPONSORED BY THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

AS A CEQA REFORM. YOU MIGHT WANT TO START READING ABOUT THIS.

IT WILL. I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE ON OUR NOVEMBER BALLOT.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE THAT YOU'RE ALL GOING TO WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT AS THINGS MOVE ALONG.

THE SOUTH BAY CITIES COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS STEERING COMMITTEE WAS YESTERDAY, AND WE ARE SETTING THE AGENDA FOR THE MEETING THAT'S COMING UP IN TWO WEEKS. AND THEN COMING UP LATER THIS WEEK THURSDAY MORNING, THE NRBBA WILL HAVE THEIR MEETING.

RISE AND SHINE REDONDO. 7:45 AT THE GALLERIA.

THEY WILL BE AWARDING VOLUNTEER AND BUSINESS OF THE YEAR AWARDS AND DISCUSSING THEIR FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN.

AND THEN FRIDAY, OF COURSE, IS ANOTHER CRUISE IN THE LAGOON.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE. JUST A COUPLE OF EVENTS.

LAST WEEK I ATTENDED THE DINE AROUND THE RIVIERA, WHICH IS COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER SAID WAS A GREAT EVENT AND WELL ATTENDED BY EVERYONE AND SOLD OUT THE 500 TICKETS THAT WERE AVAILABLE.

I ALSO ATTENDED THE REDONDO BEACH ROUNDTABLE LUNCHEON ON THURSDAY.

AND THEN THIS WEEK ON SATURDAY, I'M HAVING A COMMUNITY MEETING AT WILDERNESS PARK IN THE COMMUNITY ROOM ON SATURDAY MORNING AT 10:30.

AND THE GUEST SPEAKER FOR THAT WILL BE OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR, ELIZABETH HAUSE, AND SHE'LL BE SPEAKING ON EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PARKS, SUMMER CAMPS, SENIOR SERVICES, AND ALL THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS HERE IN REDONDO BEACH FOR THE SUMMER.

AND THEN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT, I'LL BE COMING HERE TO CITY HALL TO ATTEND THE JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION AND SUMMER READING KICK OFF AT THE LIBRARY THAT'S GOING TO BE HOSTED HERE IN THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE OUTSIDE OF CITY HALL.

SO ON SATURDAY MORNING. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC.

JUST TWO QUICK THINGS. I DID ALSO ATTEND THE REDONDO BEACH ROUNDTABLE LUNCH AND TOURED ALLCOVE WITH THE GROUP.

AND TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10TH AT 6:00 P.M.

WE WILL BE COUNCILMAN BEHRENDT AND I WILL BE HOSTING A COMMUNITY EVENT DISCUSSION ABOUT CROSSING GUARDS AT LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE CAFETERIA AT 6:00 P.M.

OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. A LITTLE DELAYED REPORTING ON MY AB 1234 REPORTING.

I ATTENDED THE MEDAL OF VALOR LUNCHEON A FEW WEEKS BACK.

AND THANK YOU TO OUR HEROIC POLICE OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS.

I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING I FELT CONFLICTED ABOUT WHEN I WAS AT THE MEDAL OF VALOR LUNCHEON.

KYLE LOFSTROM WAS BEING HONORED FOR HIS COMMUNITY SERVICE ORIENTATION, AND I WANTED TO GIVE HIM A STANDING OVATION BECAUSE HE DOES SUCH A PHENOMENAL JOB LEADING OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND BEING PART OF THE COMMUNITY, LEADING THE WAY THROUGH LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE PERFECT EMBLEM. BUT THERE'S ALSO ALL THESE POLICE OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS WHO ARE ALSO SO HEROIC, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO STAND UP EVERY TIME.

BUT ANYWAYS, A BIG SHOUT OUT, BIG SHOUT OUT TO KYLE LOFSTROM AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHO IS HONORED THERE.

LAST THING, I JUST CAME BACK FROM A VACATION IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE.

BEAUTIFUL PLACE WITH VIEWS THAT RIVAL THE ESPLANADE HERE.

BUT ONE THING I NOTICED EVERY DAY I WAS THERE, THE AIR QUALITY WAS ALWAYS BETTER IN REDONDO BEACH THAN IT IS IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE.

SO I WAS VERY PLEASED AND VERY HAPPY TO BE BACK HERE IN THE SOUTH BAY.

ARE YOU GOING TO MOVE THAT WE HAVE AN F1 HERE IN REDONDO? I DON'T WANT CRUISE SHIPS EITHER BECAUSE ACTUALLY THAT'S WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT IS CRUISE SHIPS PARKING THERE AND IDLING AND POLLUTING THEIR AIR.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT HERE AND IT'S LOVELY. OKAY.

[00:10:03]

TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS. FIRST, I WANTED TO REPORT BACK ON THE PILLARS OF PUBLIC SAFETY EVENT, WHICH WE HAD LAST WEEK WITH DA NATHAN HOCHMAN AT THE RV PARK. AND I GOT TO TELL YOU, JACK MEYER AND HIS TEAM ARE GREAT HOSTS.

WE HAD JOHN AND WILSON OUR GUEST, AS WE KNOW, WAS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR LOS ANGELES DA NATHAN HOCHMAN, WHO GAVE A RIVETING PRESENTATION, ENGAGED ALSO IN SOME ANIMATED AND INFORMATIVE Q&A.

WELL, AND NOTWITHSTANDING SOME DISRUPTIONS TOWARDS THE END, I WILL SAY IT WAS A TERRIFIC EVENT.

BUT I MUST SAY THE REAL TAKEAWAY FROM THAT PILLARS OF PUBLIC SAFETY EVENT WAS THE CONDUCT OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, REDONDO BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT. I MEAN, THEY WERE SO PROFESSIONAL.

WE WERE SAFE, WE FELT SAFE. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT IN EVERY CITY AS WE KNOW, EVERY COUNTY.

BUT IT CERTAINLY STRUCK ME WELL, I KNOW IT STRUCK THE DA WELL AS A JOB WELL DONE.

AND I SEE WE HAVE OUR CHIEF STEPHEN SPRENGEL, HERE.

OFFICER LOFSTROM. I KNOW CAPTAIN VINCE DILEVA WAS THERE, AND I KNOW CAPTAIN LONG WAS READY TO GO IF CALLED, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND THANK YOU, CITY MANAGER FOR THIS TEAM.

APPRECIATE IT. TO PICK UP ON COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC POINT.

YES. WEDNESDAY. TOMORROW, 6:00 P.M. LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR FINAL COMMUNITY EVENT ON CROSSING GUARDS.

AS WE CONTINUE TO ANNOUNCE AND PUBLICIZE AND REPUBLICIZE OUR LOCATIONS FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR STARTING AUGUST.

CONTINUING TO GET THAT OUT THERE, LET IT SINK IN.

AND THAT'S IMPORTANT TO DO. AND WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING TRAFFIC SAFETY, TRAFFIC CALMING, VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES, TAKING QUESTIONS, GIVING ANSWERS, AND REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED.

SO HOPE TO SEE YOU THEN SPREAD THE WORD. AND THAT'S ALL MAYOR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO GO BACK ON A COUPLE THINGS.

FIRST OFF, AT THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS MEETING.

I'M ON THE HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE NOW, AND THE DISCUSSION THERE IS WE'RE ACTUALLY KICKING OFF THE NEW ARENA.

CYCLE. CYCLE THAT'S COMING UP. WE'RE STARTING IT A YEAR EARLY.

WE'LL HAVE TO TURN IN OURS APRIL 30TH BECAUSE L.A.

COUNTY GOT A SIX MONTH EXTENSION. SO WE'RE GOING EVEN THOUGH I FEEL LIKE WE JUST COMPLETED OUR HOUSING ELEMENT YET AGAIN.

WE'LL BE GOING BACK INTO THAT FAIRLY SOON. THEY TOLD US, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE DISCOURAGING NEWS TO NOT EXPECT THE ARENA TO GO DOWN IN THIS CYCLE. AND THEN AT THE US COUNCIL OF MAYORS, THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PRESENTATIONS AND STUFF.

I ATTENDED ONE ON TECHNOLOGY WITH PUBLIC SAFETY.

AND I WAS VERY PROUD BECAUSE THE HOT TOPIC WAS DRONES AS A FIRST RESPONDER.

AND REDONDO IS CERTAINLY A LEADER IN THAT. I THINK WE WERE ONE OF THE SMALLEST CITIES THAT HAD A DRONE AS A FIRST RESPONDER.

A LOT OF THEM WERE FLYING THE HANDHELD DRONE OR THE HAND CONTROLLED DRONES OUT OF THEIR POLICE CARS.

BUT WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW THAT HAS THE DRONE AS A FIRST RESPONDER.

SO VERY PROUD OF THE CAPABILITY THAT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY TEAM IS BRINGING TO BOTH SUPPORT ON THE CRIME SIDE AND ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY SIDE OF THINGS. SO IT WAS A VERY PROUD MOMENT FOR ME.

SO I THINK THAT'S ALL I'LL. THE MARINE MAMMAL CONVENING STARTED WITH RELEASING SEA LIONS AT DOCKWEILER BEACH, WHICH WAS PRETTY COOL TO SEE AGAIN.

WITH THAT, WE'LL JUMP TO ITEM E. APPROVING THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA.

[E. APPROVE ORDER OF AGENDA]

OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL FOR? AYE. ANYONE OPPOSED? OKAY. MOTION CARRIES 5-0. WE WILL FOLLOW THE AGENDA AS WRITTEN.

WE HAVE NO AGENCY RECESS THIS TIME, SO WE'RE GOING DOWN TO ITEM G.

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

AND THEN WE HAVE TWO BLUE FOLDER ITEMS FOR L.1.

WE HAVE A PUBLIC COMMUNICATION AND THEN A REVISED BRR FOR NUMBER 9 AND NUMBER 49.

THAT'S IT MAYOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE BLUE FOLDER ITEMS? SO MOVED.

[00:15:05]

NOW WE'RE GOING DOWN TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR.

[H. CONSENT CALENDAR]

SO MOVED. SECOND. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND BEFORE I CALL THE VOTE.

DOES ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK TO ITEMS H.1 THROUGH H.16? LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE NO WRITTEN CARDS SO ANYBODY CAN COME UP.

I SEE NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE. ANYONE ONLINE? THERE'S NO ONE ONLINE MAYOR.

OKAY WITH THAT. I WILL CALL THE VOTE ALL FOR APPROVING THE CONSENT CALENDAR? AYE. ANYONE OPPOSED? OKAY. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU NEED TO READ? THERE'S SOME RESOLUTIONS.

YES. THERE ARE FOUR ITEMS MAYOR. ITEM H.6 ADOPT BY 4/5THS VOTE AND BY TITLE ONLY RESOLUTION NUMBER CC-2606-037.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA.

AMENDING THE OFFICIAL BOOK OF CLASS SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE POSITION OF PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. NOW WE'RE GOING TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS.

[J. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]

THERE ARE CHANGES TO THE BROWN ACT THAT WILL BE HITTING US IN JULY, AND SO WE'LL BE ALTERING THE WAY WE TAKE PUBLIC TESTIMONY, NOT JUST ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS, BUT ON ANY ITEM WHERE THERE'S PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.

WE WILL HAVE TO ALTERNATE BETWEEN PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE AND PEOPLE ONLINE TO GIVE EVERYONE A FAIR, FAIR SHOT AT THAT. SO THAT WILL HIT IN JULY. AFTER THE COUNCIL APPROVES THE NEW RULES AND IT WILL BE, IT WILL APPEAR IN THE AGENDA IN THE RULES FOR THE AGENDA.

SO EVERYBODY'S AWARE OF IT. BUT I WANTED TO GIVE FOLKS A HEADS UP.

WITH THAT TONIGHT WE'RE STILL UNDER THE OLD RULES. SO THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON ANY SUBJECT THAT DOES NOT APPEAR ON THIS AGENDA FOR ACTION. THIS SECTION WILL BE LIMITED TO 30 MINUTES.

EACH SPEAKER WILL BE AFFORDED THREE MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL ON ANY SUBJECT THAT DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT.

EACH SPEAKER WILL BE PERMITTED TO SPEAK ONLY ONCE AND WRITTEN REQUESTS WILL BE CONSIDERED FIRST UNDER THIS SECTION.

SO WITH THAT, I DO HAVE CARDS TONIGHT. THE FIRST ONE IS ERIC SANEHOLTZ AND THEN RON MAROKO.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS ERIC SANEHOLTZ.

I'VE BEEN A HOMEOWNER, A RESIDENT HERE SINCE 2005.

SINCE MOVING HERE, I'VE GOTTEN MARRIED. I'VE STARTED A FAMILY.

AND TODAY MY WIFE AND I ARE RAISING TWO BOYS IN THE COMMUNITY.

REDONDO BEACH HAS BEEN OUR HOME FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS.

AND IF YOU ASKED ME DURING THOSE 20 YEARS IF I'D EVER ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL.

OF COURSE, I WOULD HAVE ASSUMED THAT WOULD BE TO DISCUSS SOMETHING IMPORTANT, SOMETHING LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY OR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE PIER, PERHAPS.

BUT I'M ACTUALLY HERE TODAY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT MY BUSHES.

IN LATE 2025, MY FAMILY RECEIVED THE FIRST OF SEVERAL NOTICES FROM THE CITY, THREATENING LEGAL ACTION AND MONETARY FINES RELATED TO OUR PROFESSIONALLY MAINTAINED LANDSCAPING. LANDSCAPING THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR DECADES WITHOUT ANY ISSUE.

[00:20:05]

AND LIKE MOST HOMEOWNERS, WE WERE SHOCKED. WE WERE UPSET.

WE LATER LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER RESIDENTS HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED SIMILAR NOTICES, ALL TIED TO COMPLAINTS FROM ONE SINGLE INDIVIDUAL.

SO I'M NOT ACTUALLY HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT BUSHES. I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT PROCESS.

HOW DOES A COMPLAINT SYSTEM DESIGNED TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY GENERATE ACTIONS AFFECTING DOZENS OF HOUSEHOLDS, BASED PRIMARILY ON THE ACTIVITY OF ONE SINGLE INDIVIDUAL? AS A MARINE CORPS VETERAN, I BELIEVE IN STANDARDS.

I BELIEVE IN ACCOUNTABILITY, AND I BELIEVE IN FAIRNESS. AND THROUGHOUT MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER, CANDIDLY, I'VE LEARNED THAT WHEN ONE SINGLE SOURCE GENERATES THAT DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY, IT WARRANTS REVIEW, NOT BECAUSE IT CONCERNS ARE INVALID, OF COURSE, BECAUSE GOOD GOVERNANCE ACTUALLY REQUIRES VISIBILITY, CONTEXT, AND APPROPRIATE SAFEGUARDS. THESE OFFICIAL NOTICES CARRY WEIGHT.

IT'S UPSETTING. THEY CREATE STRESS. COST. THEY CREATE FRICTION ACROSS THE NEIGHBORS.

SO WHEN DOZENS OF RESIDENTS FIND THEMSELVES IMPACTED BY THESE ACTIONS OF A SINGLE COMPLAINANT, IT IS REASONABLE TO ASK WHETHER ADDITIONAL REVIEW IS WARRANTED.

THE RESIDENTS AFFECTED BY THESE NOTICES ARE NOT ASKING YOU TO ABANDON STANDARDS.

WE'RE SIMPLY SAYING, HEY, WE SUPPORT SAFETY AND RESPONSIBLE CODE ENFORCEMENT.

THEREFORE, MY ASK IS THREEFOLD. PAUSE ANY ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS WHILE THE BROADER CIRCUMSTANCES CAN BE EXAMINED.

SECOND, CONDUCT A REVIEW OF THE ACTUAL PROCESS IN ITS ENTIRETY TO INCLUDE ACTIVITY PATTERNS ORIGINATING FROM SINGLE INDIVIDUALS.

AND THIRD, REVISIT THE CODE. ENSURE IT ACTUALLY CONTINUES TO REFLECT THE INTENT OF THE CODE, BUT ALSO RECOGNIZE THE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS IN SUCH A DENSELY POPULATED COMMUNITY.

SO THIS REQUEST IS TO STRENGTHEN THE CONFIDENCE IN THE PROCESS, ENSURING THAT THE ENFORCEMENT IS FAIR, PROPORTIONAL, AND CONSISTENT ACROSS REDONDO BEACH.

OKAY. THANK YOU. WHAT ZIP CODE DO YOU LIVE IN? 90278. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WELL SPOKEN. AND YOU REPRESENTED THE MARINE CORPS.

WELL, THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE. RON MAROKO. AND THEN.

HI TRAN.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. RON MAROKO FROM DISTRICT 3.

GOING OVER, WE HAVE ABOUT 150 HISTORICAL LANDMARKS IN OUR CITY.

BUT WE ONLY HAVE THREE HISTORICAL DISTRICTS, AND THEY'RE ALL IN COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.

SO IN FEBRUARY, WE ADDED OUR LAST HISTORIC DISTRICT, AND THAT WAS OVER 35 YEARS IN THE MAKING.

AND IT'S A GARNET STREET AREA AND IT'S A BIG DEAL THAT WE SHOULD BE RECOGNIZING IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO I CAME HERE ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO AND SHOWED YOU DIFFERENT DESIGNS FOR THE SIGNS.

I DECIDED TO GO SINCE THE PRICING WAS RIGHT, TO GO GET ONE OF THE SIGNS MADE UP, AND I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT IT TO COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE, SINCE HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS ALL THREE DISTRICTS, HISTORICAL DISTRICTS IN THERE.

SO I HAVE THIS FOR YOU. I MAY APPROACH? CAN WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECEIVE, I GUESS RECEIVE AND FILE OR JUST RECEIVE? SO MOVE. SECOND. OKAY, MOTION A SECOND. ALL FOR? AYE. OKAY. YOU CAN APPROACH THAT. THANK YOU. WHAT IS IT VALUED? AT LESS THAN $100. SO IF THAT BECOMES AN ISSUE, IT'S, IT'S A DONATION TO THE CITY BUT.

I ALSO, SINCE THE PRICE WAS RIGHT, CREATED A SECOND SIGN AND I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS TO THE CITY MANAGER.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL. MOTION TO ALLOW. PUT IT UP IN PLACE.

MOTION RECEIVED. BUT I DO APPRECIATE. SECOND. ALL THE SUPPORT THAT. AYE. YOU ALL HAVE BEEN GIVING US IN THE PURSUIT OF HISTORIC DISTRICTS AND HISTORIC LANDMARKS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. HI TRAN.

AND THEN MICHAEL BECKMAN. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR LIGHT, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS HI. I'M A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 4 SINCE 2015.

SO LAST WEEK I SPOKE BEFORE THE COUNCIL ABOUT THE IMPACT OF HEDGE ENFORCEMENT ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE STRESS AND ANXIETY THAT IT HAS CAUSED OUR RESIDENTS. SO TODAY, I WANT TO RAISE A DIFFERENT BUT RELATED ISSUE, WHICH IS THE COMPLAINT SYSTEM THAT IS DRIVING THE ENFORCEMENT HERE.

SO YESTERDAY I SPENT A LITTLE BIT OF TIME ON OUR CITY'S PUBLIC COMPLAINT SYSTEM.

[00:25:05]

THAT DOES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. THE REST 20 OF THEM OUT OF 24, THAT'S OVER 80%, ARE RELATED TO HEDGE HEIGHTS THAT DO NOT POSE ANY PUBLIC SAFETY THREATS. SO THAT MEANS OVER 80% OF OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT WORKLOAD IS FOCUSED ON A SINGLE CATEGORY OF COMPLAINT, RIGHT? TIME AND RESOURCES THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR OTHER ISSUES THAT GENERALLY IMPACT PUBLIC WELFARE.

OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ARE BEING PULLED AWAY FROM THE WORK THAT THE CITY ACTUALLY NEEDS THEM TO DO.

SO I COMPARE OUR NUMBERS TO TORRANCE. I WENT TO THEIR WEBSITE.

THEY ALSO HAVE A PUBLIC DATABASE. THERE ARE ABOUT TWICE OF OUR SIZE, A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN TWICE.

AND THEY HAVE 60 OPEN COMPLAINTS, RIGHT? ONLY TWO ARE ABOUT HEDGE HEIGHT.

SO THAT'S 3% OF THEIR COMPLAINTS. SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE ABOUT TORRANCE IS THAT THEY REQUIRE COMPLAINANTS TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES.

SO I'LL QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM THE WEBSITE OF THE CITY OF TORRANCE.

TO HELP US FOLLOW UP AND INVESTIGATE THE CITY OF TORRANCE DOES NOT ACCEPT ANONYMOUS COMPLAINTS AND REQUIRES CONTACT INFORMATION WITH ALL SUBMISSIONS.

SO OUR SYSTEM ALLOWS A SINGLE, ANONYMOUS INDIVIDUAL TO GENERATE DOZENS OF ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS ACROSS THE NEIGHBORHOOD, FORCING RESIDENTS TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND DESTROY DECADES OF MATURE LANDSCAPING WITHOUT ANY ACCOUNTABILITY.

SO WE ASK THE COUNCIL TO PASS ENFORCEMENT UNTIL THAT YOU'VE HAD THE TIME TO REVIEW THE ORDINANCE AND TO REFORM THE COMPLAINTS SYSTEM, SO THAT COMPLAINTS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS OR FROM THOSE WITH DOCUMENTED PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU, SIR. MICHAEL BECKMAN. AND THEN THE LAST CARD I HAVE RIGHT NOW IS HOLLY OSBORNE.

GOOD EVENING. I BOUGHT MY HOUSE OR WE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE IN REDONDO IN 2015.

AND I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT HEDGES ALSO. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M TALKING ABOUT HEDGES AT THIS TIME IN MY LIFE.

BUT WE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE LANDSCAPING.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT CREATES IT ADDS THE VALUE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE HAVE ANIMALS LIVING. WE HAVE BIRDS NESTING IN IT.

I EMAILED THREE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS YESTERDAY, SO I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT EVERYTHING.

WHAT I NOTED, WHAT STRUCK ME IN THE NOTICE OF ENFORCEMENT WAS IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MY PROPERTY CAUSING A PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN, AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I MEAN, IF MY IF MY LANDSCAPING WAS CAUSING A PUBLIC SAFETY PROBLEM, THEN YOU BET I'D WORK WITH YOU TO FIX IT. BUT TO HAVE A, AN ORDINANCE THAT JUST HAS A HEIGHT LIMIT WITHOUT ANY REQUIREMENT THAT IT BE A PUBLIC SAFETY NUISANCE BEFORE ENFORCING IT.

IT SEEMS TO GO AGAINST THE FACT THAT IN 2024, REDONDO BEACH WAS NAMED A TREE CITY BY THE ARBOR FOUNDATION. SO WHAT I'M ASKING, IN ADDITION TO WHAT WAS ASKED BY MY TWO FELLOWS BEFORE ME, IS THAT YOU DO A REFERRAL SO THAT THIS MATTER CAN BE A FORMAL AGENDA ITEM HOPEFULLY NEXT MONTH, BUT IF NOT SOON, AND THEN NOT ENFORCE THE CODE UNTIL THE MATTER IS FULLY ADJUDICATED.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. HOLLY OSBORNE. THAT'S THE LAST CARD I HAVE.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THIS IS HOLLY OSBORNE, DISTRICT 5. I WAS HERE VIRTUALLY LAST TIME BUT DID NOT GET TO SPEAK.

I WANTED TO SPEAK ON AN ARTICLE THAT HAD JUST APPEARED IN THE PAPER.

A GREEN SPACE SHORTAGE. THAT WAS IN THE JUNE 2ND LA TIMES.

WELL, I AM JUST AS GLAD I HAD TO WAIT, BECAUSE NOW THERE IS ANOTHER OTHER ARTICLE IN JUNE 6TH LA TIMES ON AIR POLLUTION.

THE FIRST ARTICLE SAYS THAT THE CITY OF LA RANKS 90TH OUT OF 100 CITIES IN TERMS OF AVERAGE PARK SPACE PER.

ACRES PER 1000 PEOPLE. THE LA TIMES CALLED THAT, QUOTE, THE KIND OF MORTIFYING RANKING USUALLY OCCUPIED IN OTHER CATEGORIES BY MISSISSIPPI, END QUOTE. THE AVERAGE FOR LOS ANGELES COUNTY IS 3.3 ACRES OF PARKLAND PER 1000 RESIDENTS.

[00:30:10]

WE'RE THE WORST OF ALL THE BEACH CITIES. NOW, I'M VERY GLAD THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO GET OUR HOUSING ELEMENT APPROVED.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT SOMEONE THAT WAS REASONABLE BECAUSE THEY'D APPROVED IT BEFORE, AND THEN IT GOT UNAPPROVED, BUT THEN THEY APPROVED IT AGAIN. BUT WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK IS.

I'M TALKING ABOUT DISTRICT 4. THERE'S A SENIOR HOUSING COMPLEX AND IT'S A VERY HIGH DENSITY, BUT IT'S GOT A LITTLE PARK RIGHT NEXT TO IT. AND I HOPE YOU DO NOT INCREASE THE FAR FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND TAKE THAT GREEN SPACE AWAY.

I GAVE YOU A COLORED VERSION OF A OF THE MAP, AND YOU CAN SEE HOW DENSE IT IS IN THAT PART OF DISTRICT 4.

AND THEN I WAS ONLINE LAST TIME, LISTENING TO ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE AND I THOUGHT, THIS IS RELEVANT TO THEM TOO.

LOOK HOW DENSE IT IS, THAT WHOLE AREA. THEY'RE TRYING TO CREATE A LITTLE MORE SHADE AND GREEN SPACE FOR THEIR YARDS AND THAT THAT SHOULD BE REWARDED, NOT PENALIZED. WHEN YOU READ OTHER ARTICLES ON SHADE, IF THE TEMPERATURE GETS TOO HOT, THAT AFFECTS. THAT'S HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR SENIORS.

THEY CAN DIE. IT'S JUST WELL, I WON'T, I WON'T GO ON TO THIS.

YOU'VE ALREADY GOT THIS, BUT I'M SAYING I'M ALL FOR SHADE AND ANY LITTLE THING THAT PEOPLE CAN DO TO INCREASE THE SHADE FOR THEIR OWN PROPERTY SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED, NOT DISCOURAGED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ANY ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA? OKAY. NO ONE IN THE AUDIENCE. ANYONE ONLINE? WE HAVE ONE MEMBER ONLINE.

DARRYL BOYD. GO AHEAD DARRYL. DARRYL BOYD DISTRICT 3 HAS A 39 YEAR RESIDENT AND 33 YEAR HOMEOWNER.

I CERTAINLY FEEL FOR THE THREE GENTLEMAN WHO JUST SPOKE ABOUT BEING ATTACKED FOR THEIR HEDGES, ESPECIALLY UNDER THE SCOPE OF PUBLIC SAFETY. WHAT A JOKE.

I'M SPEAKING IN DEFENSE OF MYSELF AGAINST MAYOR JIM LIGHT'S CLAIM THAT I BERATED A CERTAIN COUNCIL MEMBER LAST WEEK.

I LISTENED TO THE MAYOR BERATE THE CITY MANAGER FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO IN THE SAME MEETING WHEN THE CONVERSATION WASN'T GOING HIS WAY.

SO IT'S QUITE HYPOCRITICAL FOR THE SUPPOSED MAYOR TO JUDGE ME OR MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT.

THE MAYOR BOASTED ABOUT HIS SUPPORT FOR A CERTAIN SO-CALLED MARGINALIZED GROUP, STIRRING UP DIVISION ON SUNDAY MORNING OF ALL DAYS.

THE TAXPAYING RESIDENTS OF 500 TO 600 NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN MARGINALIZED FOR DECADES, AND IT HAS BECOME MORE APPARENT OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.

WE AREN'T ASKING FOR A FLAG AND A MONTH OF RECOGNITION.

WE'RE SIMPLY ASKING FOR YOU TO WORK WITH US, NOT AGAINST US, AND TO RESOLVE OUR PROBLEMS HERE.

I'VE ASKED FOR AND EXPECT THAT OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES DO THE JOBS THAT THEY ELECTED TO DO TO PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY, OUR PRIVACY, AND OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. OUR LEGAL RIGHT TO LIVE IN PEACEFUL ENJOYMENT OF OUR HOMES HAS BEEN VIOLATED BY THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH'S DECADES OF NEGLECT TO THE NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE MEDIAN LACK OF TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT AND DISRUPTIONS DAY AND NIGHT, AND INCLUDES THE BEACH CITIES HEALTH DISTRICT AS A TERRIBLE NEIGHBOR NOW SPREADING TO ARBOR HEIGHTS NEIGHBORS BEHIND US.

IF THE DISTRICT 3 COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD STOP IGNORING THE TAXPAYING RESIDENTS OF 500 TO 600 NORTH PROSPECT AND THE BOROUGH HEIGHTS COMMUNITY AND SOLVE PROBLEMS HERE, YOU WOULD NEVER HEAR FROM ME. PROMISES WERE MADE BY THE CITY TO US.

A GREAT PLAN FOR THE NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE MEDIAN WAS PRESENTED TO US AND NONE OF IT HAPPENED.

THE MAYOR INTERFERED AND FORCED HIS WANTS INTO THE PLAN WHICH VIOLATED THE CITY CHARTER, AND OUR DISTRICT 3 COUNCIL MEMBER WALKED AWAY WHEN THE HEAT WAS ON HER TO MAKE GOOD FOR THE RESIDENTS HERE. IT'S BEEN NON-RESPONSE AND COMPLETE SILENCE FROM HER FOR A YEAR NOW.

WHILE SHE HERSELF IN AGENDAS THAT DON'T BENEFIT DISTRICT 3 OR THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH.

ALL WE WANTED IS FOR OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES TO KEEP GOOD ON PROMISES MADE AND STAND UP FOR US.

INSTEAD, ALL WE GOT WAS A JIM LIGHT CAMPAIGN STOP FACILITATED BY PAIGE KALUDEROVIC AND A TOKEN INCOMPLETE, INCOMPLETE LANDSCAPE JOB WITH NO SAFETY, PRIVACY OR NOISE REMEDIATION FEATURES.

JIM LIGHT INTERFERED IN THE WHOLE THING AND RUINED IT.

SO WHAT'S LEFT? YOU FORCE US TO FIGHT YOU. IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS WAY.

SO, JIM, IF YOU WANT TO SAY THAT I'D BE RAIDING OUR DISTRICT 3 COUNCIL MEMBER FOR CALLING HER OUT AND ASKING HER NOW TO DO THE JOB SHE WAS ELECTED TO DO RIGHT BY THE RESIDENTS OF 500 TO 600. YOUR TIME IS UP. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE?

[00:35:05]

JOHN, ARE YOU THERE? HELLO, DO YOU HEAR ME? YES.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL JOHN PRCHAL ON DISTRICT 1.

I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY ON BEHALF OF THE MANY RESIDENTS WHO LIVE ALONG THE PROSPECT AVENUE IN PALOS VERDES BOULEVARD CORRIDOR TO THANK THE REDONDO BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL, AND THE CITY STAFF INVOLVED IN LAST WEEK'S ILLEGAL TRUCK ENFORCEMENT OPERATION.

WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORT TO REDUCE THE HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC IMPACTING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

HOWEVER, JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS PROBLEM.

THE NEXT DAY, I CAPTURED A MIX OF ABOUT 120 TRACTOR TRAILERS AND BIG BOX TRUCKS CROSSED THE INTERSECTION.

SO AS THE CITY MOVES THROUGH THE CURRENT BUDGET PROCESS, WE WOULD ENCOURAGE FUNDING FOR MEANINGFUL TRAFFIC CALMING AND TRUCK MITIGATION MEASURES, PARTICULARLY NEAR STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS, AND ESPECIALLY DESIGNATED SCHOOL CROSSINGS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND YOU SAID ONE MORE? YES.

ONE MORE. ANGELA AND MS. ROSA HOFFMAN. ANTOINE DID YOU SAY? ANGELA. ANGELA. OKAY. GO AHEAD. HI. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU. LOUD AND CLEAR. HI. I'M A RESIDENT ON CAMINO DE LA COSTA.

IN BETWEEN VISTA DEL MAR AND AVENUE I. I'VE LIVED HERE FOR OVER 26 YEARS, AND WE'VE ALWAYS HAD PARKING ISSUES. WE LIVE BEHIND THE RIVIERA VILLAGE, WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO PARK BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTS TO PARK ON OUR STREET AND NOT PAY FOR METERS. YOU HAVE A LOT OF DINING PEOPLE THAT COME HERE.

I DON'T THINK IT'S OKAY FOR US WHEN I COME TO.

WHEN I COME BACK HOME FROM WORK, TO HAVE TO DRIVE HALF AN HOUR AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKING FOR A PARKING BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS PARKED YOU'VE TAKEN AWAY PARKING PLACES BECAUSE OF THE NEW ORDINANCE WITH THE END OF STREET AND MORE VISIBILITY.

AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR THE COUNCIL TO PUT THIS ON THEIR TO DO LIST AND TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO.

BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I LOVE THE TERRACES IN THE VILLAGE THAT HAS TAKEN AWAY PARKING FOR PEOPLE AND IT'S JUST MAKING A BIG PROBLEM FOR RESIDENTS ON CAMINO DE LA COSTA.

I GUESS SHE'S FINISHED. YEAH. I AM. OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? THERE ARE NO MORE MAYOR. OKAY, I'LL GO DOWN TO ITEM J.1.

EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS. THIS IS WHERE WE REVEAL OR DISCLOSE ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT THE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT ARE ON THE AGENDA.

[K. EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS]

I'VE SUBSEQUENTLY IN THE LAST WEEK HAD MEETINGS WITH THE CITY MANAGER SEVERAL DEPARTMENT LEADS WITHIN THE CITY AND I THINK ALMOST ALL OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON ONE TOPIC OR ANOTHER. COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER.

SAME AS LAST TIME I BELIEVE. CITY MANAGER AND THE MAYOR.

COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE. THE SAME CITY MANAGER STAFF AND THE MAYOR.

COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC. YOU, MAYOR, CITY MANAGER STAFF, RESIDENTS.

COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI. MAYOR, STAFF, COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT.

COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT. THE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, CITY STAFF.

I GOT TO ADD THE MEMBERS OF PUBLIC TOO. OKAY.

OKAY. SO WE'RE NOW GOING TO ITEM L.1. THIS IS THE CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE FISCAL YEAR 26-27 PROPOSED BUDGET AND THE 2027 TO

[L. PUBLIC HEARINGS]

SO I WOULD ASK, DO I NEED TO REOPEN IT WHEN WE RECONVENE? YES. OKAY. SO. MOTION TO REOPEN PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL FOR? AYE. OKAY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. OKAY, I'LL KICK IT OFF, MAYOR, AND THEN I'LL PASS IT OFF TO OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM.

GOOD EVENING. THIS IS THE SECOND BUDGET HEARING.

I WAS, AS WAS BRIEFLY MENTIONED, OF OUR THREE THAT ARE SCHEDULED HERE IN JUNE NEXT WEEK BEING JUNE 16TH AND THE NIGHT THAT WE ANTICIPATE ADOPTION OF

[00:40:05]

I HAVE THE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM WITH ME, DIRECTOR ANDY WINJE.

WE'VE GOT CITY ENGINEER LAUREN SABLAN, AND OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS MANAGER, JESSE REYES.

THEY WILL BE HANDLING THE LINE'S SHARE OF THE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING, BUT JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING TO KICK IT OFF YOUR AGENDA PACKET INCLUDES A QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION. THERE WERE AN ADDITIONAL 22 BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS THAT WERE ATTACHED TO YOUR AGENDA, MATERIALS THAT WERE TRANSMITTED PRIOR TO THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

THAT BRINGS OUR TALLY UP TO 40 COMPLETED BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS OF THE 49 QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED.

THERE WERE TWO ADDITIONAL BLUE FOLDER ITEMS, AS DEREK MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT WERE SPECIFIC TO REVISIONS CORRECTIONS TO TWO BRR'S THAT HAD BEEN TRANSMITTED LAST WEEK. THE REMAINING NINE ITEMS WILL BE DEPOSITED AS PART OF YOUR AGENDA PACKET MATERIALS ON THURSDAY.

THERE ARE A FEW THAT ARE THAT ARE OUTSTANDING THERE AND WILL BE HELPFUL, I THINK, TO YOUR FINAL BUDGET MOTIONING.

BUT TONIGHT'S FOCUS IS REALLY THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

WE HAVE MADE A NUMBER OF CHANGES TO OUR CIP BOOK THIS YEAR, AND MORE ARE STILL COMING.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ATTACHMENTS, OUR PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS ARE CONTINUING TO EVOLVE.

THERE'S BEEN SOME GOOD INPUT PROVIDED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TRYING TO HELP SET EXPECTATIONS FOR THE DELIVERY AND EXECUTION OF PROJECTS OVER THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR, AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE OVERTIME CONTEXT TO WHERE EACH OF THESE PARTICULAR MATTERS HAVE BEEN IN OUR BOOK OVER TIME, WE ARE ALSO WORKING TOWARDS A REAL TIME REPORTING SYSTEM, A SOFTWARE APPLICATION THAT WILL HELP US WITH ADDITIONAL TRANSPARENCY TOOL FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE COUNCIL. JESSE AND TEAM HERE WILL WALK YOU THROUGH ALL OF THOSE TONIGHT.

WE'LL ALSO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO RESELECT YOUR PRIORITY PROJECTS.

WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT NOW FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

I THINK THE LAST TIME WE DID THAT WAS WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE, I WANT TO SAY, 23-24 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET.

SO IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS. WE ARE ASKING YOU ALL TO CONSIDER THAT TONIGHT AS PART OF OUR FINAL RECOMMENDATION BEFORE CONTINUING THE HEARING TO THE 16TH.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WILL KICK IT OVER TO JESSE, WHO WILL BE RUNNING TONIGHT'S POWERPOINT.

SO WITH THAT LET'S. LET'S GET ROLLING JESSE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

JESSE REYES, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT MANAGER.

I'LL BE PRESENTING TODAY ON THE PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR, 27-31 FISCAL YEAR PLAN AND THE FISCAL YEAR 26-27 OF CIP FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS.

FIRST, AN OVERVIEW OF THE PRESENTATION. WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHY CIP IS IMPORTANT.

EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR THE PROJECTS. A LITTLE BACKGROUND AND HISTORY ON THE PROGRAM.

CIP ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE LAST YEAR. FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

SOME STATUS, PROJECT STATUS AND SCHEDULES. AND AS CITY MANAGER WITZANSKY MENTIONED, COUNCIL PRIORITY PROJECTS.

FOR FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER TONIGHT. THIS IS FAMILIAR TO, TO MANY OF YOU TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REITERATE AND EXPLAIN IT TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE.

WHY IS THE CIP IMPORTANT? CIP ARE NECESSARY FOR MAINTAINING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF REDONDO BEACH RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES AND VISITORS ALIKE. THEY HELP MAINTAIN THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE CITY BY ENSURING THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE STREETS, UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE IS PROMOTING HEALTH AND SAFETY.

GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE HELPS MAINTAIN AND INCREASE PROPERTY VALUES WITHIN THE CITY.

CIPS ALSO ASSIST IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY INVESTING IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS NEEDED TO MAKE THE CITY A DESIRED LOCATION, AND IT ALSO ASSISTS IN LIMITING THE CITY'S LIABILITY BY ADDRESSING POTENTIAL HAZARDS SUCH AS UPLIFT, UPLIFTED SIDEWALKS, TO NAME ONE. SO THE EVALUATION CRITERIA, AS WE LOOK AT POTENTIAL PROJECTS, WE TRY TO ENSURE THEY MEET ONE OR MORE OF THE CRITERIA LISTED ON THIS SLIDE.

DO THEY PROMOTE HEALTH AND. DO THEY ADDRESS HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS? ARE THEY MANDATED BY THE STATE OR OTHER REGULATIONS? DO THEY HELP IMPLEMENT A STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL THAT WAS ADOPTED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL? ARE THEY COMPLETING AN EXISTING PROJECT? DO THEY SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT? IS THERE ANY OPERATING SAVINGS IN COMPLETING THE PROJECT AND DO THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SIGNIFICANT OUTSIDE FUNDING? THESE ARE THE OVERARCHING GOALS THAT THE PROJECTS IN THE CIP SHOULD TRY TO ACCOMPLISH.

SO THIS IS ILLUSTRATES THE CURRENT YEAR. CIPS BY CATEGORY.

AS YOU CAN SEE, FISCAL YEAR 25-26 INCLUDED 108 PROJECTS, WITH THE LARGEST SWATH BEING STREET IMPROVEMENTS, AS REGULARLY IS. AS OF TODAY, 25 CIPS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED IN 25-26, WHICH I WILL ILLUSTRATE IN THE FOLLOWING SLIDE.

[00:45:02]

I WON'T READ THEM ALL OFF. AS YOU SEE, IT'S A IT'S A LONG LIST, BUT SOME OF THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS THAT ARE THAT ARE BOLDED HERE.

WE COMPLETED THE WILDERNESS PARK LOWER POND THIS FISCAL YEAR.

THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BIKEWAY EXTENSION WAS COMPLETED.

HERONDO PCH OPEN SPACE IMPROVEMENTS WAS RECENTLY COMPLETED AND WILL HAVE A GROUNDBREAKING RIBBON CUTTING, NOT GROUNDBREAKING. A RIBBON CUTTING IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO. ONCE THE MAINTENANCE PERIOD IS COMPLETED AND ARTESIA SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED AS WELL.

SO THAT'S JUST A HANDFUL OF THESE PROJECTS THAT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT.

HERE'S A SNAPSHOT OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF THE CIP PROGRAM.

THE KEY THING TO NOTE IS THE CONSISTENCY OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS IN TERMS OF THE.

IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS, PROJECTS COMPLETED AND EXPENDITURES.

CONSISTENTLY, WE'RE IN THE 20 TO 25 PROJECT RANGE WHEN IT COMES TO PROJECTS IN DESIGN AND PROJECTS COMPLETED.

REALLY PROVIDE SOME CONSISTENCY IN PROJECT EXECUTION.

WE'VE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF THE BACKLOG AND GET THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS DOWN BY INCREASED OUTPUT.

CONSOLIDATION OF CERTAIN PROJECTS. AND NEXT YEAR, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THE AUTHORIZATION OF SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT HAVE EITHER BEEN COMPLETED, HAVE SOME CARRYOVER MONEY THAT WILL GO BACK TO THEIR FUND BALANCES OR PROJECTS THAT ARE NO LONGER VIABLE OR NEEDED.

THIS TABLE REPRESENTS THE CURRENT YEAR CIP BUDGET AND EXPENDITURES BY FUND AS OF LAST WEEK.

WE DO ANTICIPATE EXPENDITURES TO RISE TO ABOUT $16.5 MILLION WHEN THE FISCAL YEAR CLOSES, LESS THAN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, BUT STILL REPRESENTS A VERY PRODUCTIVE YEAR. GRANTS ALONE REPRESENT ABOUT 22% OF THAT SPEND, AND WHEN YOU INCLUDE RESTRICTIVE FUNDS SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION FUNDS OR ENTERPRISE FUNDS, THAT PERCENTAGE RISES TO 81% OF ALL FUNDING.

I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE, BECAUSE WE TRY TO UTILIZE AND COMPLETE AS MANY PROJECTS AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT UTILIZING DISCRETIONARY FUNDING AND UTILIZING OUTSIDE FUNDING.

NOW LET'S TRANSITION TO THE RECOMMENDED CIP FOR FOR THE NEXT UPCOMING YEAR.

SOME OF THE THEMES FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR ARE, AS YOU'VE ALL KNOWN, AND WE'VE TRANSITIONED TO A NEW FORMAT UTILIZING CLEARGOV SOFTWARE.

WE LOOK AT THIS TRANSITION, AS CITY MANAGER WITZANSKY MENTIONED, AS AN ITERATIVE PROCESS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AS WE RECEIVE FEEDBACK.

WITH THAT ATTACHED TO THE ITEM, TONIGHT WAS AN ATTACHMENT THAT ILLUSTRATED SOME UPDATES TO CERTAIN PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS.

WE LOOK. WE'RE LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FROM THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL TO ENSURE WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT IS USEFUL. AND I'LL NOTE THAT WE CONTINUE TO MAKE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WHERE FEASIBLE AND WHERE THE SOFTWARE ALLOWS AND NOT LIMITED.

NEXT YEAR'S CIP ALSO HAS A REDUCTION OF PROJECTS FROM 108 TO 89.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, MAINLY DUE TO CONSOLIDATION OF PROJECTS AND THE AUTHORIZATION OF MANY PROJECTS.

I THINK IN MY TENURE AS THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE UNDER 100 PROJECTS.

SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THAT, THROUGH THAT BACKLOG.

THERE'S NO NEW DISCRETIONARY FUNDS THAT WERE TRANSFERRED TO THE CAPITAL BUDGET.

WE'RE RELYING ON EXISTING DISCRETIONARY FUNDING AND HEAVILY LEANING ON OUTSIDE AND RESTRICTED FUNDS ALONG THE LINE.

ALONG THOSE LINES THERE WILL BE A MAJOR FOCUS ON LARGE FACILITY PROJECTS SUCH AS SEASIDE LAGOON, PICKLEBALL, AND OF COURSE, THE POLICE AND FIRE FACILITIES.

SEASIDE LAGOON AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES ARE OBVIOUSLY LARGE DOLLAR VALUE COMPLEX PROJECTS THAT WILL TAKE A COMPLETE TEAM EFFORT TO COMPLETE AND ENSURE THEIR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION. HERE'S A SNAPSHOT OF 26-27 CIP SUMMARY. WE ANTICIPATE $69.1 MILLION IN CARRYOVER FOR 79 PROJECTS.

130.3 RECOMMENDED NET APPROPRIATION. OF THAT, 93 IS MEASURE FP 20.3 IS GRANT FUNDING.

WHEN YOU TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT, THAT'S 87% OF THE RECOMMENDED APPROPRIATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR.

ONLY 1% OF THE RECOMMENDED APPROPRIATIONS IS DISCRETIONARY FUNDS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

TOTALING $199.4 MILLION IN OUR CIP BUDGET WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CARRYOVERS.

89 TOTAL PROJECTS, 79 EXISTING, 10 NEW RECOMMENDED PROJECTS.

HERE'S JUST SOME MORE DETAIL ON THAT FUNDING PER CATEGORY.

THE CARRYOVER FUNDING 69.1. 130.3 NEW APPROPRIATIONS GETTING TO THE TOTAL OF 199.4.

OBVIOUSLY, WITH MEASURE FP PUBLIC FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS, IS THAT LINE SHARE OF THAT AMOUNT.

[00:50:05]

SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 26-27 BUDGET ON THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS SIDE.

SEASIDE LAGOON. WE ANTICIPATE DESIGN AND INITIATING CONSTRUCTION ON THAT FRANKLIN PARK ALL ABILITIES PLAYGROUND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN AWARDED, AND WE ANTICIPATE THE CONCLUSION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THAT HERE IN THE SUMMER.

PICKLEBALL AT AVIATION PARK. WE ANTICIPATE INITIATING A DESIGN BUILD EFFORT FOR THAT FOR THAT PROJECT, RESIDENTIAL STREET REHAB, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR BREAD AND BUTTER.

I THINK IN OUR CIP, WE HAVE OUR CONTRACT THAT'S BEEN AWARDED.

WE'RE WORKING THROUGH PROJECT CONTRACT EXECUTION RIGHT NOW.

WE SHOULD START THAT IN THE SUMMER FOR THE YEAR THREE OF THE 2020 PMS, AND OUR YEAR 1 2023 IS CURRENTLY IN DESIGN AND ANTICIPATED TO GO INTO CONSTRUCTION LATE IN FISCAL YEAR 27.

CITY FACILITY INFRASTRUCTURE. THE VETERANS PARK HISTORIC LIBRARY IMPROVEMENTS KIND OF THE LAST PHASE OF THAT, THE ADA ENHANCEMENTS THAT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE A TIGHT TIMELINE FOR THAT AS WE ARE AWARE.

SO THAT SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN THE BEGINNING OF JULY, A MEASURE FP.

WE WILL INITIATE THAT DESIGN EFFORTS FOR BOTH FIRE STATIONS AND THE POLICE FACILITIES IN THE UPCOMING YEAR.

THE CITY FUELING STATION, WHILE NOT A SUPER EXCITING PROJECT, A VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT FOR THE CITY, ESPECIALLY WITH GAS PRICES RIGHT NOW. WE CONSTANTLY HAVE OUR PUMPS GOING DOWN, CAUSING A LOT OF OUR CITY VEHICLES TO HAVE TO GO TO RETAIL GAS STATIONS, OBVIOUSLY AT A MORE EXPENSIVE COST. SO WE ARE REPAIRING THAT AND UPDATING, UPDATING THAT FUELING STATION, WHICH SHOULD HAVE SOME SAVINGS ON, ON THE FLEET SIDE.

AND THEN ALONG THOSE LINES, THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FLEET CHARGING THESE ARE CHARGERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ADDED TO THE PUBLIC WORKS YARD AS WE LOOK TO EXPAND OUR FLEET OUR EV FLEET. TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS. WE'RE VERY ACTIVE ON THAT END.

WE HAVE THE SOUTH BAY TRAVEL NETWORK LTN THAT IS CURRENTLY IN CONSTRUCTION AND SHOULD BE COMPLETED THIS CALENDAR YEAR.

WE HAVE THE REDONDO BEACH BOULEVARD CORRIDOR PROJECT, ALSO KNOWN AS THE MAT PROJECT, CURRENTLY IN DESIGN.

THOSE EFFORTS WILL CONTINUE IN FISCAL YEAR 27 THAT IS RUNNING PARALLEL WITH THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BIKE PATH EXTENSION PROJECT.

ALSO IN DESIGN. KIND OF RUNNING PARALLEL PATHS THERE.

RIVIERA VILLAGE MULTI-MODAL IMPROVEMENTS. WE HAVE A FUNDING AGREEMENT IN PLACE.

WE'VE RECEIVED PROPOSALS FROM FIRMS. AND WE SHOULD BE BRINGING A RECOMMENDATION FOR COUNCIL TO AWARD THE DESIGN CONTRACT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. TRAFFIC SIGNAL COMMUNICATION UPGRADES.

BOTH PROSPECT AVENUE AND INGLEWOOD ARE IN DESIGN AND AT LEAST INGLEWOOD SHOULD COME INTO CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR.

PROSPECT WILL TAKE A LITTLE LONGER, BUT IT IS IN DESIGN.

AND REDONDO BEACH AND VAIL AVENUE BIKE IMPROVEMENT AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY THAT WE HAVE A FUNDING AGREEMENT IN PLACE NOW WITH METRO AND ANTICIPATING PUTTING OUT AN RFP IN THE NEXT IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO TO START THOSE DESIGN EFFORTS.

HERE'S A LIST OF 26-27 CIP PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY CURRENTLY IN DESIGN AND WILL CONTINUE DESIGN EFFORTS, OR WILL COMMENCE DESIGN IN 26-27. 20 TOTAL PROJECTS.

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THERE'S A PRIORITY FOCUS ON SEASIDE LAGOON DUE TO THE OLYMPICS.

ALONG WITH MEASURE FP PROJECTS, WE ALSO ANTICIPATE, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, MOVING FORWARD WITH THE DESIGN BUILD EFFORT FOR PICKLEBALL AT AVIATION. RFP IS ANTICIPATED TO BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL IN THE FALL OF 2026, WITH AN AWARD TO A DESIGN BUILDER IN EARLY 27.

THE PD SHOOTING RANGE WOULD CONTINUE ITS DESIGN EFFORTS AS WELL, BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY DEPENDENT ON THE SUCCESSFUL GRANT APPLICATION, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO BE SUBMITTED BY THE DEADLINE OF JUNE 25TH, AND WE WILL FIND OUT WHETHER WE'RE SUCCESSFUL OR NOT BY SEPTEMBER.

SO HERE WE HAVE ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION STAGE PROJECTS.

I WON'T READ THEM ALL. WE HAVE A 33 TOTAL PROJECTS THAT WE ANTICIPATE BEING IN CONSTRUCTION AND IN SOME STAGE, IN SOME PHASE. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE IS FULTON PLAYFIELD INFILTRATION PROJECT.

THAT ONE WILL BE COMING TO COUNCIL NEXT WEEK FOR AWARD.

WE HAVE FRANKLIN PARK ALL-INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND AS I MENTIONED, WHICH SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE SUMMER.

[00:55:01]

VETERANS PARK HISTORIC LIBRARY UPGRADES. AS I MENTIONED, THAT WILL BE THAT WILL BE COMPLETED IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.

ANTICIPATED COMPLETED. SO OUT OF THOSE OUT OF THAT LIST OF OF PROJECTS THAT WILL BE IN CONSTRUCTION, THESE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE ANTICIPATE WILL ACTUALLY BE COMPLETED NEXT YEAR.

IT'S A LONG LIST. 29. WE DO ANTICIPATE COMPLETING THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM.

IT LOOKS LIKE A LARGE NUMBER GIVEN THE STAGE THAT MANY OF THESE PROJECTS ARE IN.

WE DO BELIEVE IT'S A REASONABLE GOAL. I'LL CAVEAT THAT BY SAYING OBVIOUSLY SITUATIONS ARISE AT CERTAIN STAGES DURING CONSTRUCTION AND A FEW MIGHT NOT BE FULLY COMPLETED BY THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 27. BUT AT THIS POINT, WE THINK IT'S A REASONABLE GOAL TO SHOOT FOR.

CIP PROJECT TRANSPARENCY. I THINK WE MENTIONED IT.

COULD YOU GO BACK, PLEASE? RAIL CROSSING BRIDGE PAINTING, GRANT AVENUE.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DO ARTESIA INSTEAD OF GRANT AVENUE.

YOU KNOW? THAT IS A TYPO. OKAY. YES. YES, IT IS ARTESIA.

THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. WE PUT OUT PROPOSALS. WE'VE GOTTEN A COUPLE PROPOSALS.

SO WE'RE GOING THROUGH THOSE RIGHT NOW. FOR ARTESIA BOULEVARD? APOLOGIZE, YES. OKAY, COOL.

THANK YOU. CIP PROJECT TRANSPARENCY. WE HAVE A DASHBOARD THAT'S EXISTED FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

PROBABLY A LITTLE UNDERUTILIZED, BUT IT IS A WAY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUT THE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE.

AS YOU LOOK AT THE IMAGE BELOW ON A PUBLIC WORKS WEB PAGE, YOU CAN ACCESS THE PORTAL, THE DASHBOARD.

IT TAKES YOU TO THAT IMAGE ON THE RIGHT, WHICH LISTS ALL OUR PROJECTS IN THE CIP.

YOU CAN FILTER THESE BY THE TYPE OF CATEGORY, BY THE PHASE, AND YOU CAN CLICK INTO EACH EACH PROJECT.

THAT WILL GIVE YOU SOME LEVEL OF DETAIL, MOSTLY MACRO DETAIL.

IT'LL TELL YOU WHETHER IT'S IN DESIGN, WHETHER THERE'S ANY MOVEMENT ON IT.

IF IT'S IN CONSTRUCTION, ONCE WE GET INTO CONSTRUCTION, WE CAN FILL IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON THIS.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ENSURE WE KEEP UP TO DATE.

WE HAVEN'T DONE A GREAT JOB AT IT AT CERTAIN TIMES, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON ENSURING THAT WE HAVE UP TO DATE INFORMATION ON THAT PORTAL AND THE PROJECT TRACKING SOFTWARE. CLEARGOV.

AS WE'VE TRANSITIONED TO THE BUDGET DOCUMENT MODULE.

BUT THE BUDGET MODULE IS MUCH MORE OF A STATIC DOCUMENT.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MORE DYNAMIC REAL TIME PROJECT TRACKING TOOL.

WE THINK WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE CLEARGOV MODULE WOULD WORK TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

WE HAVE A DEMO SET UP WITH THEM IN THE NEXT IN JULY.

AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL THAT WILL BE PROMISING.

AND WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH ADDING THAT MODULE AND HAVING MORE UP TO DATE INFORMATION ON ACTUAL PROJECT SCHEDULES AND OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION.

AND AGAIN, AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER TONIGHT, WE'RE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO IDENTIFY THEIR COUNCIL PRIORITIES.

EACH OF YOU, YOUR ONE PROJECT THAT YOU'D LIKE US TO CONCENTRATE ON.

AND, AND THEN JUST ANY HIGH VISIBILITY PROJECTS THAT YOU THINK MAYBE WE NEED TO ADD MORE INFORMATION OR YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ON.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT. SELECT INDIVIDUAL MAYOR AND COUNCIL PRIORITY PROJECTS, RECEIVE AND FILE THE BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS, AND THEN CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO JUNE 16TH, 2026.

THAT CONCLUDES PRESENTATION. HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU. I WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING INTO MY THIRD YEAR IN THIS POSITION AND IT'S, I FEEL LIKE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN ACCELERATED SUBSTANTIALLY FROM MY FIRST YEAR HERE TO TODAY.

I KNOW THIS LAST YEAR, IT FEELS LIKE AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH WE'RE HAVING A RIBBON CUTTING OR SOMETHING, AND SOMETIMES TWICE A MONTH. I KNOW WE'VE GOT TWO COMING UP THE HERONDO PARK RIBBON CUTTING AND THE VETERANS PARK LIBRARY BACK TO BACK.

AND WE'RE JUST COMING OFF SEVERAL RIBBON CUTTING. SO YOU KNOW, APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK.

I ALSO LOOKED AT THE ATTACHMENT TO TONIGHT THAT FOR SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CIP PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS AND DATA, I WILL TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND, BUT THE MAIN THING THAT I'M LOOKING FOR. WHAT'S THAT? YOU KNOW, SOME KIND OF PROJECT SCHEDULE THAT WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT AND HOLD ACCOUNTABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, PROJECTS GOING TO START SOMEWHERE AROUND THIS MONTH AND IT'S GOING TO FINISH THIS MONTH OR ENGINEERING IS GOING TO START THIS MONTH AND RFP WILL GO OUT THIS DATE, THAT TYPE OF THING. AND ALSO ON THE MULTI-YEAR FUNDING.

IT WOULD HELP US TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL BUDGET?

[01:00:04]

I APPRECIATE THE DRIVE TOWARDS KEEPING IT UPDATED.

SO IT'S A LIVING DOCUMENT, NOT A STATIC DOCUMENT WE REVISIT ONCE A YEAR.

SO JUST GREAT JOB ALL AROUND AND LOOK FORWARD TO MORE.

WE'RE NOT GOING INTO BRR. WELL, I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO BRRS IF WE'RE HERE TO TALK CIP, BUT.

I MEAN, I THINK OUR FOCUS TONIGHT IS CIP, BUT YOU'RE NOT LIMITED TO CIP. IF YOU WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE 40 BRRS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

WE'VE GOT STAFF HERE IF YOU'VE GOT PARTICULAR QUESTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT HEADS THAT PREPARED THE VARIOUS ITEMS SO YOU.

IT IS A BUDGET HEARING AND ITS ENTIRETY. YOU'RE NOT LIMITED TO.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FLUSH OUT YOUR CIP RELATED QUESTIONS FIRST.

AND THEN OF COURSE, FROM THERE, ANY BUDGET RELATED QUESTION IS FAIR GAME.

OKAY. WE'LL DO IT THAT WAY. IF I COULD ASK THE COUNCIL FIRST, WE'LL GO THROUGH THE CIP, THEN IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING WITH BRRS.

OKAY. YES. FOR PRIORITY, MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY CONTINUES TO BE WE GOT SOME THINGS DONE IN THE WILDERNESS PARK MASTER PLAN.

THERE'S LEFTOVER MONEY. WE'RE NOT. I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO APPROPRIATE ANY MORE MONEY THIS YEAR TO IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE. THAT WOULD BE MY TOP.

MY TOP PICK THIS YEAR IS CONTINUATION ON THE WILDERNESS PARK MASTER PLAN.

I'M NOT SURE I AGREE YET THAT IT'S THE SHADE STRUCTURE ELIZABETH.

STILL WAITING FOR COST ESTIMATES ON THAT, BUT IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT'S IN THE WILDERNESS PARK MASTER PLAN.

WITH THAT COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI. YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR HANDS UP? YES. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU. I ECHO WHAT THE MAYOR SAID.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HYPER PRODUCTIVITY ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN AWESOME AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'VE SEEN IN NORTH REDONDO AS WELL.

I MEAN, ACROSS THE CITY, BUT ON ARTESIA BOULEVARD, THE BULB OUT ADJUSTMENT ARTESIA AND ALL THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS, THE BIKE LANES, NEW BIKE LANES, REPAVING ON TWO BLOCKS OF GRANT AVENUE.

IT'S REALLY BEEN PHENOMENAL. AND THE BIKE PATH EXTENSION ON THE.

ALL THE WAY TO INGLEWOOD IS BEAUTIFUL AND HIGHLY UTILIZED.

SINCE YOU ARE OPEN TO ADJUSTING HOW YOU PRESENT THE CIP, I WANTED TO GIVE MY NOTE IF I COULD PLEASE, IF YOU LIGHT UP 2.B. SO HERE, HERE'S AN EXAMPLE.

PERRY PARK FENCING. WE APPROPRIATED PARTIAL MONEY FOR THIS LAST YEAR.

YOU WANT TO WAIT TILL IT'S UP? YEP. OH, YEAH. SURE. BUT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT ANYTHING FANTASTIC TO SEE.

SO WE APPROPRIATED $71,866 FOR THIS LAST YEAR.

IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, YOU MIGHT THINK, OKAY, CONSTRUCTION, CAPITAL COSTS, CONSTRUCTION.

$71,000. DETAILED BREAKDOWN SUBDIVISION PARK TRUST $71,866.

SO YOU THINK IT'S FULLY FUNDED. THIS DOESN'T COMMUNICATE THAT THE ACTUAL COST FOR THIS PROJECT IS $250,000.

I REALIZE THAT YOU MAY SAY, WELL, THE COST LAST YEAR WAS $250,000.

THIS YEAR THE COST MIGHT HAVE GONE UP, BUT MAYBE WE JUST PUT IN THERE, YOU KNOW, ESTIMATED COST $250,000 AS OF JUNE 2025. THAT WAY PEOPLE KNOW, OKAY, IT'S A STALE NUMBER AS OF A YEAR AGO, BUT AT LEAST THERE'S A NUMBER THERE AND WE KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO BUILD TOWARDS.

OTHERWISE, COUNCIL MEMBER LIKE MYSELF HAS TO FIGURE OUT, OKAY, WHAT YEAR DID WE GET THAT BRR IN? GO BACK, FIND IT, PULL IT UP, AND THEN FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH WE NEED APPROPRIATE THIS YEAR TO GET US A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE GOAL.

AND WHEN WILL WE BE COMPLETE? SO THAT'S ALL. THAT WAS MY KIND OF TWO CENTS ON IT.

YEAH IF I COULD ADD TO THAT. CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND, AND I THINK WHAT WILL HELP IN ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD INTERNALLY IS AS WE BUILD OUT THIS DOCUMENT FURTHER, IS PROVIDING SOME HISTORICAL CONTEXT AS WELL.

RIGHT? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE GONE TO THIS FORMAT. IDEALLY, NEXT YEAR'S VERSION OF THIS IN THE YEAR AFTER VERSION WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THAT CLEARER STORY. AND WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO PROVIDE CONTEXT, EVEN IF IT IS OUR BEST GUESS ESTIMATE AT THE TIME.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE PROVIDE A ORDER OF MAGNITUDE ESTIMATE AND A BUDGET RESPONSE REPORT, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATE THAN AFTER WE'VE GONE OUT THROUGH A DESIGN BUILD PROCESS OR CREATED FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND HAVE AN UP TO DATE CONSTRUCTION AND AN ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE.

RIGHT? SURE. SO AND WE'RE NOT. AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE FOR A PLANNING LEVEL ESTIMATE AT THE AT THE TIME OF FUNDING APPROPRIATE APPROPRIATION, WHERE I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TIGHTER WITH.

THAT IS WHEN WE ARE TELLING YOU AND GOING OUT TO BID THAT WE'RE FULLY FUNDED AND HAVE THE CAPACITY TO BUILD ON SCHEDULE AND WITHIN LEVEL OF RESOURCE.

AND WE NEED TO WORK IN THE DOCUMENT TO HELP ARTICULATE THE DIFFERENCE AND THE NUANCE BETWEEN THAT STAGE OF THE PROJECT,

[01:05:05]

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ENDEAVORING TO DO, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE CATEGORIZING SOME OF OUR DESCRIPTIONS.

THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHERE WE ARE IN PROJECT EXECUTION AND TIMELINE, BUT WE APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENTS. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I REALLY HAD TO SAY.

AND I JUST ENCOURAGE GOING BACK TO THE GENERAL BUDGET COUNCIL MEMBERS TO SHARE WHATEVER THEY HOPE TO FUND, IF ANYTHING ELSE OR WHAT, YOU KNOW, HOW THEY INTEND TO RAISE REVENUE JUST BECAUSE COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT AND I HAVE COME UP WITH A DRAFT BUDGET MOTION THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, AND I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THAT, BUT WE OBVIOUSLY WANT TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN ADVANCE OF NEXT WEEK.

AND COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI YOUR PRIORITY PROJECT.

YEAH. MY PRIORITY PROJECT, I. ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR IT? I'M GOING TO JOIN WITH COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT.

AND WE'RE GOING TO DOUBLE MAKE PRIORITY AVIATION PICKLEBALL.

NO CLAPPING. YEAH. DO THIS IF YOU LIKE IT. DO THIS IF YOU DON'T.

THANK YOU. RAISE YOUR PADDLES AND. YEAH, JUST BRING A PADDLE AND.

ANYTHING ELSE? THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, MAYOR. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT. WHAT'S YOUR PRIORITY? ARE YOU GOING TO SWITCH ON HIM NOW? NO, THE PRIORITY WOULD BE AVIATION PARK PICKLEBALL.

OKAY. YEAH. AND I DO AGREE WITH WHAT BOTH THE MAYOR AND ZEIN HAVE SAID.

THERE HAS BEEN A HYPER PRODUCTIVITY, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I KNOW YOU HAVE OTHER THINGS OPERATIONALLY DAY TO DAY THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON.

SO FITTING IN ALL OF THIS IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

SO THANK YOU. AND IT'S A GOOD THING THE MAYOR ISN'T ALLERGIC TO RED RIBBONS.

BECAUSE I'M JUST SAYING, WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF CUTTING IN RECENT TIMES, AND I HOPE WE CONTINUE TO DO IT.

TO PICK UP ON THE AVIATION PICKLEBALL FACILITY.

IT WAS EXHILARATING TO HEAR ABOUT AN RFP BEING ISSUED IN THE FALL, AND THEN A PROCUREMENT OF A DESIGN BUILDER CONTRACT IN EARLY 2027. SO THAT SOUNDS GREAT.

AND I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO HEAR THAT. THAT CONTRACT AWARD.

AND I THOUGHT THE CIP PROJECT TRANSPARENCY SITE.

THAT'S GREAT. IT'S NOT BUSY WORK, BUT YOU KNOW, WHERE IT'S HELPFUL FOR STAFF TO BE ABLE TO TRACK AND GO THROUGH AND GET THOSE DILUTION PROJECTS DONE. YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT IS GREAT.

AND IT ALLOWS US TO TRACK AS WELL IN THE PUBLIC.

AND FOLKS CAN GO TO THE SITE. ON THE KIND OF THE SCHEDULE AND TIMING AND JUST TRACKING SORT OF AN ACTION PLAN FOR AVIATION PICKLEBALL.

SOME THINGS THAT CAME TO MIND TO ME. AND I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF STAFF IS ALREADY DOING THIS.

BUT JUST TO GO THROUGH, YOU KNOW, WHAT COULD HELP OR NOT IS SORT OF A COMPREHENSIVE ACTION PLAN.

MAYBE GET AN UPDATE AT SOME POINT. NOT BUSY WORK AT ALL.

I'LL JUST THROW OUT SOME CONCEPTS IF I COULD MAYOR.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. I'LL GO THROUGH THESE VERY HIGH LEVEL.

SO COMPREHENSIVE ACTION PLAN FOR THE AVIATION PICKLEBALL FACILITY, MAYBE ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING.

NOT SAYING DO IT. I'M JUST GOING TO GET THIS OUT THERE.

NUMBER ONE, A SITE ANALYSIS. SO YEAH, I THINK A SURVEY, TOPOGRAPHICAL BASE GEOTECHNICAL REVIEW AND DRAINAGE ACCESS ANALYSIS SUFFICIENT TO DETERMINE WHAT MAY BE THE FINAL PROJECT SCOPE.

AND YOU KNOW, THAT MAY ALSO HELP REFINE PROJECT COST.

NUMBER TWO THE COURT LAYOUT AND PHASING PLAN.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT THAT WOULD BE LIKE A SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR EIGHT COURTS WITH A PHASING PLAN THAT PRIORITIZES USING KIND OF A USABLE FIRST PHASE AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AND THEN BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION AS I THINK WE'RE HOPING FOR EARLY 2027.

NUMBER THREE WOULD BE, AND THE CITY MANAGER'S ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS.

PHASE SCOPE AND COST TABLE. SO LIKE A TABLE DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN ESSENTIAL OPENING DAY ELEMENTS FROM DEFERRED AMENITIES LIKE LIGHTING AND BLEACHERS, FENCING, LANDSCAPING, RESERVATION SYSTEM WITH COST ESTIMATES ASSIGNED TO EACH PHASE.

PROCUREMENT RECOMMENDATION. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DECIDED.

YOU KNOW, DESIGN BID BUILD VERSUS DESIGN BUILD, KIND OF ASSESSING THE FEASIBILITY OF ACTUALLY COMMENCING CONSTRUCTION EARLY 2027.

AND CERTAINLY IDENTIFYING ANY SCHEDULE DRIVERS, RISKS, SUPPLEMENTARY FUNDING THAT MAY BE NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE TARGET.

NUMBER FIVE FUNDING ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT AND AVAILABLE SOURCES FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

[01:10:05]

AND YOU KNOW, RECOMMENDED PLAN TO SECURE ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS NEEDED.

AND JUST A FEW MORE QUICKLY. COURT OPERATIONS AND ACCESS PLAN.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE BRR. THAT WOULD BE LIKE AN EVALUATION OF CONTROLLED ACCESS OPTIONS FOR THE COURT USE WITHOUT OR WITH ON SITE STAFF OVERSIGHT. AND PROBABLY ANALYZING SCENARIO TWO.

EXCUSE ME. SCENARIO ONE, WHICH I WON'T GET INTO, BUT SORT OF A COST EFFECTIVE CONTROLLED ACCESS AND MAYBE THE PREFERRED ACCESS MODEL.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH PLAN IF NEEDED. I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A WHILE.

ANY ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING IF NEEDED. I KNOW WE HAVE EXPERIENCE AND ELIZABETH KNOWS AND AS DOES KELLY.

ALTA VISTA PICKLEBALL, ANY KIND OF SCREENING THAT WE MAY BE NEEDED THERE.

AND YOU KNOW, THAT AGAIN, THAT'S, IT'S NOT EVEN A WISH LIST.

THAT'S LIKE A FULL LIST. BUT THE IDEA I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF BUILD IT OUT.

YOU KNOW WHAT? AND THIS IS ALSO FOR THE PUBLIC, THIS IS NOT LIKE ORDERING A PIZZA, RIGHT? WHERE YOU PICK UP THE PHONE AND I'LL HAVE A, LET ME GET AN A EIGHT COURT PICKLEBALL FACILITY AT AVIATION PARK.

SO THERE'S ALL OF THESE STEPS. AND, AND I'M JUST SCRATCHING THE SURFACE OF WHAT.

THE BLEACHERS IN THERE? WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT THE BLEACHERS.

THAT MAY BE A DEFERRED ELEMENT, BUT THE POINT IS, THIS TAKES A LOT.

AND YOU KNOW, STAFF HAS A LOT TO DO. AND TO THE EXTENT ANY OF THIS IS ALREADY BEING DONE, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED TO THE EXTENT ANY OF THIS IS HELPFUL.

THAT'S GOOD TOO. SO THAT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTERS. THANK YOU, MR. CITY MANAGER. YEAH, THANK YOU COUNCILMAN. ALL GOOD THOUGHTS.

MANY OF MANY OF THOSE WE HAVE DISCUSSED INTERNALLY, SOME OF SOME OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY UNDERWAY SITE ANALYSIS AS AN EXAMPLE SOME OF THE GEOTECHNICAL AND SURVEY WORK THAT IS GOING TO BE PREREQUISITE TO THE PROJECT.

AND, AND WE HAVE SELECTED OUR ASSISTING LANDSCAPE KIND OF PARK ARCHITECTURAL FIRM TO SUPPORT THE PREPARATION OF THE RFP WHICH IS CRITICAL. AND CERTAINLY IT WILL BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP LAY OUT ALL OF WHAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED.

SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT CONVERSATION. AND AS JESSE MENTIONED, WE, WE ANTICIPATE THAT HAPPENING THIS FALL.

ALL RIGHT. LOOK FORWARD TO REGULAR REPORTS. OKAY.

THANK YOU. AND IF I MAY, THERE WAS A PRETTY DETAILED LETTER SUBMITTED TODAY ABOUT DESIRES FOR THE PICKLEBALL DESIGN.

AND HOPEFULLY STAFF GOT THAT AND CAN. HAVE. HAVE YOU GOT? DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? SAW IT. OKAY, SO HOPEFULLY THAT.

HAVEN'T DIGESTED THAT BUT I SAW IT YES. INTO YOUR ANALYSIS. CAN I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT PICKLEBALL? SURE. WELL, IT'S ABOUT PICKLEBALL. WE CAN COME BACK TO IT, BUT.

YEAH. GO AHEAD. I THINK WE THERE WAS A REFERRAL ABOUT THE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP MODEL.

WAS THAT EXPLORED? IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE COMMITTED TO ONE, BUT DO WE? I THINK WE ARE STILL EXPLORING THAT. I THINK WE HAVE LOOKED AT THAT.

THE WE DO THINK THE DESIGN BUILD WILL LIKELY BE THE BEST WAY TO CONSTRUCT THE COURTS.

WE HAVEN'T COME ACROSS A PRIVATE FIRM THAT I THINK WOULD PROVIDE A COMPARABLE MODEL TO SAY WHAT WE HAVE ENCOURAGED WITH SOUTH BAY SPORTS, WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPORTS FIELD THERE, THE SOCCER FIELDS.

WE HAVEN'T YET IDENTIFIED THAT, BUT WE ARE STILL LOOKING AS THAT AS A POTENTIAL OPTION.

OKAY. BECAUSE I JUST IF WE'RE GOING DOWN, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE DESIGN ELEMENTS, IF WE WERE TO EXPLORE A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP, SOME OF THAT MAY CHANGE.

EVEN THE FUNDING MAY CHANGE. THE YEAH, THE FUNDING COULD CHANGE.

THAT WOULD LIKELY THE SYNCHRONICITY THAT WOULD OCCUR AFTER WE'VE PREPARED THE RFP DOCUMENT.

AND AT THAT POINT WOULD BE NEGOTIATING PROSPECTIVELY A PARTNER TO ASSIST WITH CONSTRUCTION COSTS ETC.

WE WON'T BE ABLE TO BYPASS THAT INITIAL PHASE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON OVER THE SUMMER AND EARLY FALL.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONCEPTUALIZE THE FACILITY.

OKAY. AND THAT'S REALLY. I DON'T WANT TO DOUBLE BACK IF WE'RE. YEAH, WE'RE NOT AT THAT POINT. ACCELERATING THIS PROJECT. WE'RE NOT AT THAT POINT YET. RIGHT.

OKAY. CAN I JUST SAY SOMETHING? ARE YOU FINISHED? YES, THANK YOU. IS IT PICKLEBALL? YES. OKAY. I THINK SOME OF WHAT WE'RE APPRECIATING AND WHY WE'VE DESIGNATED THIS AS A TOP PRIORITY PROJECT JOINTLY IS.

THE FOUR COURTS AT ALTA VISTA HAVE GENERATED $50,000 FOR EIGHT COURTS.

AVIATION COULD GENERATE $100,000 AT LEAST I THINK.

MAYBE IF IT'S A DESIGNATED FACILITY, YOU'LL BE LINED UP BACK TO BACK TO BACK USING THE PICKLEBALL FACILITY, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT CAN BE LIT AT NIGHT AND THERE'S NO NOISE CONCERNS THERE IN A COMMERCIAL AREA.

[01:15:05]

SO I THINK, I THINK RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK THERE WAS INTEREST BY SKECHERS OR ANYBODY LIKE THAT TO JUMP IN ON A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP.

AND IF WE CAN FUND IT, WHICH IS CLOSE TO FULL FUNDING.

YEAH. THEN LET'S GET IT DONE AND BRING THIS HUGE AMENITY TO THE CITY.

NO, I'M ALL FOR IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CHECKING ALL THE BOXES.

WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO DOUBLE BACK ON SOMETHING, BUT I FULLY SUPPORT IT.

OKAY. BEFORE WE LEAVE IT, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON ANY? OTHER PICKLEBALL? PICKLEBALL QUESTIONS? OKAY. BEFORE I CALL ANOTHER COUNCILMAN, YOU ALREADY STATED YOUR NUMBER ONE SEASIDE LAGOON, CORRECT? YOU'RE TALKING TO ME? I'M TALKING TO YOU.

YEAH, YEAH WE GOT TO GET IT DONE. OKAY. YEAH.

LET'S SEE. COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS DEFINITELY THE RIVIERA VILLAGE PROJECT.

SOMETHING THAT THE DINE AROUND. TRANSPORTATION STUDY? THE MULTIMODAL. MULTI-MODAL. MULTIMODAL STUDY IN RIVIERA VILLAGE.

IT'S WHAT'S. IS WHAT PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT DURING DINE AROUND.

IT'S LIKE THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR IS LIKE, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO? AND THEY KIND OF DESCRIBED THE IDEA OF THAT PROJECT.

I SAID, IT'S COMING, IT'S COMING. SO THAT'S DEFINITELY MY NUMBER ONE, IF I HAD TO COME UP WITH A COUPLE OTHERS. I'LL TAKE LESS TIME THAN COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT TO AT LEAST GIVE YOU MY PRIORITY LIST.

THE REDONDO BEACH BOULEVARD GRANT RIPLEY ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION, THE BIKE, THE BIKE PATH THERE.

I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE SURE WE GET DONE AND HOPEFULLY TORRANCE COOPERATES WITH US ON THAT MOVING FORWARD.

THE BIKE. LOOKING BETTER AND BETTER EVERY DAY. REDONDO BEACH BOULEVARD BIKE MOBILE.

OH, I THOUGHT YOU WENT TO A. METRO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION.

I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT STANDS FOR. THE MAT.

AND ODDLY ENOUGH, IT'S NOT SEXY, BUT I GET A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT UGLY TRASH CANS.

SO THE TRASH CAN REPLACEMENT, IT'S A LITTLE THING, BUT I'VE GOT MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT THAN A LOT OF OTHER THINGS.

AND THE EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S ON HERE, I THINK WE NEED THAT AS A CITY FOR BOTH CITY AND FOR THE PUBLIC.

AND OF COURSE, NOBODY'S MENTIONED FP, BUT THAT KIND OF GOES WITHOUT SAYING.

THAT WAS. LIKE, I DIDN'T PUT THAT ON MY LIST.

THAT'S THE PENULTIMATE PROJECT. THAT IT? THAT'S IT. COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE. SO I WILL SAY ALSO MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS SEASIDE LAGOON.

THAT'S THE KEYSTONE AMENITY IN THE WATERFRONT.

AND WE HAVE A. FREE ONE BECAUSE MIKE'S ALREADY LATE.

TOO LATE. DOUBLE DOWN. DOUBLE DOWN. YOU CAN TAKE MY TRASH CANS, RIGHT? EXACTLY. I'M WRITING IN INK. IT'S TOO LATE. BUT WE HAVE YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'VE DEVELOPED A LOT OF NEW EVENTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE AT THE WATERFRONT, AND IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE RENOVATION WORK AT SEASIDE LAGOON COMPLETED AND COMPLETED ON TIME, JUST AS WE TRY TO SCHEDULE THINGS AROUND THAT.

AND I KNOW THAT A LOT OF THE BUSINESSES, YOU KNOW, WOULD LIKE TO MINIMIZE INTERRUPTION, BUT ALSO LIKE THE IMPROVED AMENITY TO DRAW A BETTER CROWD AND, YOU KNOW, DOWN TO THE WATERFRONT. AND THE RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO GET DOWN THERE TO ENJOY THAT.

SO I THINK IT. ALSO MAKES IT MORE USABLE FOR MORE FOR.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF EVENTS. EXACTLY. AND LESS FINES.

EXACTLY. AND SO RIGHT. SO THERE ARE LOTS OF BENEFITS TO COMPLETING THE PROJECT, BUT COMPLETING IT QUICKLY AND ON TIME IS GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE AT THE WATERFRONT. AND THEN ALSO JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE HARD WORK THAT YOU ALL DID IN COMPLETING THE RENOVATIONS AT THE NORTH GARAGE AND THE FUN FACTORY SPACE. SO THAT SPACE IS READY TO BE USED FOR PARKING AND ALSO DOWNSTAIRS TO BE LEASED OUT TO A, YOU KNOW, A NEW TENANT THERE IN THE WATERFRONT.

AND THEN I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU, JESSE.

IN THE PRESENTATION THAT YOU GAVE, YOU SAID THE USE OF GENERAL FUNDS WAS GOING TO BE BASICALLY AT A MINIMUM, MOST OF IT, THE MONEY WAS COMING FROM GRANT FUNDING.

BUT HOW MUCH OF THE PROJECTS REQUIRED INITIAL FUNDING FROM GENERAL FUND THAT EVENTUALLY MAY OR MAY NOT GET REPLACED BY A GRANT ONCE IT'S RECEIVED? DO THEY ALL MUST ALL GET FUNDED EVENTUALLY? ONCE THE. YEAH, I THINK HOLISTICALLY, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC WORKS HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB.

WE ASK THIS QUESTION ALL THE TIME, YOU KNOW, OH, YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO GO OUT AND DO MORE GRANTS. WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL TOTAL, THEY'RE 30. WAS IT $36 MILLION OF GRANT FUNDING IN THE CARRYOVER SIDE ALONE.

IT'S THE TEAM CONSTANTLY PROCURES GRANTS THROUGH A VARIETY OF MEASURE M CATEGORIES, TRANSPORTATION RESTRICTED CATEGORIES.

AND WE'VE BEEN REALLY FORTUNATE THAT'S ALLOWED US EFFECTIVELY TO BACK OFF OF HAVING TO USE GENERAL FUND OR OTHER COUNCIL DISCRETIONARY DOLLARS TO SUPPORT THE CIP TO ADVANCE

[01:20:07]

SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S NEWLY APPROPRIATED OR RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING THAT IS A LOSS LEADER, SO TO SPEAK. OKAY. IF WE DON'T GO OUT AND PURSUE GRANTS.

OBVIOUSLY WE'VE SPENT SOME MONEY ADVANCING THE GUN RANGE APPLICATION.

BUT AS I'VE STATED HERE PUBLICLY, THE POTENTIAL RETURN ON THAT YOU KNOW, FOR A COUPLE OF HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OF INVESTED COST IS, IS CLOSE TO POTENTIALLY $20 MILLION. SO THAT'S, THAT'S BIG AND IT'S WORKED CANDIDLY, WE WOULD HAVE TO DO UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES TO EVER RETROFIT THAT FACILITY. SO I THINK THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS MAYBE ZERO.

OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC. TOP PROJECT? TOP PROJECT IS DOMINGUEZ PARK. AND IN THE CIP, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PROJECTS IN HERE.

THAT'S CHEATING. NO IT'S NOT. YOU ASK COUNCILMAN OBAGI.

LAST TIME HE PICKED, HE PICKED TWO. BUT GUESS WHAT? THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF GRANT AVENUE AND INGLEWOOD IS NOT GETTING TOUCHED.

IT HASN'T BEEN IMPROVED. AND I'M NOT COMPLAINING. NO, STOP REBUTTING.

ANYWAY. MY POINT IS, THESE ARE ESSENTIALLY SIMILAR PROJECTS BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT THE STABILIZATION OF THE LANDFILL.

YEAH. AND WE CAN'T DO THE PARK HILLSIDE STABILIZATION UNTIL WE COMPLETE THE LEA WORK.

RIGHT. ANYWAY, SO WE HAVE TO FOCUS OUR INITIAL EFFORTS ON THE LEA WORK.

AND THEN. AND THEN ONCE WE GET THAT BUTTONED UP, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXECUTE THE NEXT PHASE OF THE OF THE PROJECT.

THERE'S TWO POTS OF MONEY. WE'RE IDENTIFYING THEM AS SEPARATE EFFORTS BECAUSE WE WANT TO TRACK THE LEA SPECIFIC ACTIVITY AND UNDERSTAND THAT IMPACT. AND IT ALSO LENDS ITSELF TO A DIFFERENT SOURCE OF FUNDING.

WE WANT, WE WANT CLARITY IN THAT TRANSPARENCY IN THAT THERE ARE PERHAPS SOME AMENITY IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN OCCUR AT DOMINGUEZ WHILE WE'RE UNDERGOING THE MORE SUBSTANTIAL LEA ANALYSIS WORK AND DEVELOPING THE PLAN.

THINGS LIKE FENCE REMOVAL, YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE OF STUFF.

WE WILL STILL HAVE TO GET THEIR APPROVAL, BUT THAT THAT ISN'T AS SUBSTANTIVE AN EFFORT AS WHAT WE'RE DOING WHEN WE START MOVING DIRT AND THAT TYPE OF THING.

SO, SO AND IN YOUR POWERPOINT, YOU DID SAY CONSOLIDATION OF PROJECTS.

SO I JUST WANT THAT NOTED THAT WE'RE CONSOLIDATING THESE.

SHE'S CONSOLIDATING. MY ONE ASK. I WILL MENTION WE DO HAVE A TASK ORDER WITH ONE OF OUR ON CALLS FOR THE STABILIZATION, RIGHT? SO EVEN THOUGH WE CAN'T MOVE ON IT AND CONSTRUCT IT, WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS A DESIGN ON, ON. YES. MOVING ON THAT ONCE IT'S READY TO. WHEN IT ULTIMATELY DOES INFORM THE LEA WORK, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE'RE CREATING A PLAN TO DO IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'RE NOT JUST CREATING A PLAN TO CREATE A PLAN.

OTHERWISE WE PROBABLY WOULD JUST STOP WORK ON IT.

AND YOU'RE ASSUMING FRANKLIN PARK IS A BETTER DEAL.

IT'S IN THE. CONTRACT. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH WE'RE PASSED PROCUREMENT. GOING TO BE DONE BY SEPTEMBER.

IT'S GOING TO BE. IT'S GOING TO BE A RIBBON CUTTING. YEAH ANOTHER.

YES. WHICH IS A GOOD THING. IT'S GREAT. JUST UNDERSTAND YOUR PLAN YOUR PRIORITY PLAN.

IT'S A STABILIZING THE HILLSIDE AND THEN PUTTING UP GAS MONITORING.

YES. OKAY. THOSE TWO. PAGES. 34 AND 35. YES. GOT IT.

KNOW WHEN SOMEONE USES THE RESTROOM. SO I GUESS THAT'S ALL THE COUNCIL HAD ON THE CIP.

QUESTION. MIKE, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HEAR, ARE WE GOING TO HEAR ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMISSION? YEAH, THEY MEET THURSDAY. THAT'S OKAY. I LOST TRACK OF WHERE.

YEAH THEY MET. THEY MET RIGHT. THEY MET. WE'LL HEAR ABOUT IT AT THE NEXT. YEAH. THEY MET A WEEK AFTER. SO I PRESENTED TO THEM A WEEK AFTER I PRESENTED TO YOU THE RECEIVE AND FILE ITEM IN MAY. THEY HAVE A SECOND MEETING TO DISCUSS THE BUDGET THURSDAY, AND THAT'S WHEN THEY'LL BE FORMULATING THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU ALL AS IT PERTAINS TO THE BUDGET. OKAY. AND YOU'LL RECEIVE THAT IN A AN ATTACHMENT EITHER NEXT WEEKEND OR AS SOON AS IT'S READY AND AVAILABLE, WILL DISSEMINATE THAT TO YOU. OKAY. SO JUMPING TRACKS, I THINK THAT'S IT FOR THE CIP TONIGHT.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, WE'LL GET PUBLIC INPUT IN A FEW MINUTES, BUT EXPANDING TO THE REST OF THE BUDGET.

SO ON BRR 6, WHEN I READ THAT THE PD TECH PLATFORM IS MY SUMMARY OF WHAT THAT ONE IS, I NOTICED THAT THERE'S A ZENCITY POLLING SOFTWARE IN THERE.

I WAS WONDERING IF WE CAN USE THAT FOR THE WHOLE CITY FOR, YOU KNOW, NOT SCIENTIFIC POLLING, BUT FOR PUSHING OUT POLLS. YEAH, IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

I, I'D HAVE TO ASK CHIEF SPRENGEL KIND OF WHAT THE STATUS OF THAT PARTICULAR CONTRACT IS.

I DON'T NEED AN ANSWER TONIGHT. YOU JUST SOMETHING TO INQUIRE IN GENERAL? OKAY. THAT'S FINE. WE'RE HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THAT. LET'S SEE A NUMBER

[01:25:09]

NUMBER 41. THAT'S THE EXTRA ATTENDANT AT WILDERNESS PARK.

NOT REALLY SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWER THERE. AND ELIZABETH I'D LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU ON SOME OTHER AT LEAST SOME OTHER APPROACHES.

BUT THE MAIN THING IS MAYBE NOT THE EXTRA ATTENDANT, BUT HOW DO WE PROTECT, HOW DO WE KEEP KIDS AND VANDALS FROM VANDALIZING AND DAMAGING THE PARK? SINCE YOU CAN'T SEE IT? THERE'S NO ONE ATTENDANT THAT COULD EVER SEE THAT PARK AND EVEN PATROLLING IT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S 11 ACRES. IT'S TOUGH TO DO. WHAT ABOUT MAYOR? WHAT ABOUT IN THIS DAY AND AGE OF TECHNOLOGY, SOME AUTOMATED SYSTEM THAT SOUNDS AN ALARM WHEN MALFEASANCE IS OCCURRING? SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A CAMERA THERE. SO AI GOING, OH NO GRAFFITI.

YEAH. YEAH, EXACTLY. I MEAN, PRESUMABLY THERE'S SOMETHING THAT CAN REPLACE A HUMAN NAGGING ON ALERTING THAT SOMETHING IS GOING WRONG.

I'M OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTION. RIGHT NOW IT'S CLOSED THE PARK MOST OF THE TIME, OR PAY A LOT OR PAY EXTRA MONEY.

SO ANYWAY, I WILL WORK WITH YOU, ELIZABETH, ON SOME OTHER ALTERNATIVES.

THE FARMERS MARKET BOLLARDS. JUST A QUESTION THERE AND I DON'T NEED THE ANSWER TONIGHT, BUT WE BOUGHT THOSE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THEM, BUT THE COLLAPSIBLE BOLLARDS SO THAT WE.

NOT BOLLARDS, BUT. FOR STREET CLOSURES? YEAH.

FOR PD I THINK IT WAS LAST YEAR AND WE'VE GOT THOSE, WE'VE USED THEM.

IS THERE A REASON WE CAN'T USE THOSE HERE. YEAH. IT'S THE DEPLOYMENT. THAT'S THE EFFORT AND EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SETUP AND TEARDOWN.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM. SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO.

SO RIGHT NOW, THE ONE DEMAND WE'VE HAD OF THE MARKET, AND THIS GOES FOR ALL THE MARKETS AND IS THAT THEY ARE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN SETTING UP THE TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN ON A WEEKLY BASIS FOR THE ACTIVITY, MEANING ERECTING THE STREET BARRIERS, WHICH IN THIS CASE THEY'RE USING KIND OF A TRAILABLE DEVICE, NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE OWN AS AN ORGANIZATION.

AND THEN SETTING UP THE TRAFFIC CONTROL WAYFINDING AROUND THE AREA.

IT'S THE EXPENSE OF US DEPLOYING THAT, TAKING IT AWAY, SETTING IT UP.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE AVOIDING. THAT'S WHAT. WE CAN'T LIKE PARK THE TRAILER AT COMMUNITY SERVICES WITH THE PD. IT'S THE WORK TO GET IT OUT THERE.

SET IT UP, TAKE IT AWAY. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE. WHAT DO WE DO AT GEORGE FREETH WAY.

CAN YOU DRIVE THROUGH IT? WE ACTUALLY SET UP A.

WE HAVE A GATE, A CATTLE GATE THAT WE BASICALLY WE INSTALL TO CLOSE THE STREET.

CAN WE DO THAT? WELL, THAT'S KIND OF THE MANUALLY REMOVABLE BOLLARD OPTION THAT'S IN THAT BRR WE.

THAT'S THE SAME COST AS WHAT WE DO? WE COULD WE COULD CREATE THAT APPARATUS.

BUT WHAT I JUST NEED TO CONTINUE TO STRESS IS WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE MARKET IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT'S SET UP AND TEAR DOWN, BECAUSE THE MINUTE WE HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. THAT'S LIKE A CRASH PROOF BARRIER.

IF IT'S IF IT'S WELL SLEEVED AND IT'S A IF IT'S A ROBUST BOLLARD, THAT'S FOUNDATIONALLY.

ONE ON GEORGE FREETH IS A YOU CAN. THAT ONE. THAT ONE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

THAT'S A STREET. IT'S A. THE NAVIGATION. THERE'S DIFFERENT. YOU DON'T HAVE QUITE THE SAME LEVEL OF RISK.

THIS WOULD BE MORE LIKE WHAT WE SEE DOWN IN THE SLEEPY HOLLOW KIND OF HOLIDAY LIGHTS FESTIVAL.

OKAY. THE SCHEDULED VEHICLE REPLACEMENT, THAT'S A BIG BUDGET ITEM IN A YEAR THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE MAKING THIS BUDGET MEET BALANCE BY PROJECTING SOME INCREASES IN REVENUES, CUTTING COSTS WITH OPEN POSITIONS, ANY, ANY WAY TO DEFER SOME OF THAT TO CREATE A BUFFER FOR US.

AND I DON'T ADVOCATE SPENDING IT. WE'RE ALLOCATING IT TO ANYTHING, JUST, YOU KNOW, KEEPING THAT IN RESERVE IN CASE WE DON'T REALIZE SOME OF THESE, I IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK THE BETTER TIME TO MAKE THAT ANALYSIS IS WHEN WE BRING BACK THE POLICY DOCUMENT AND OUR EFFORT TO REVIEW OUR REPLACEMENT CYCLES, TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY WAY FOR US TO PERHAPS ELONGATE CERTAIN, CERTAIN PROCUREMENTS, WE MAY IN SOME INSTANCES HAVE TO SHORTEN THEM BASED ON M&O EXPERIENCE.

WHAT IT TAKES US QUITE A BIT OF TIME FROM APPROPRIATION TO EXECUTION TO, TO OBTAIN THESE VEHICLES.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE REPORT, WE'RE STILL, WE'RE STILL RECEIVING VEHICLES THAT WERE INITIALLY PROCURED AND, YOU KNOW, 24-25 OR AT LEAST ORDERED. THERE WAS HUGE DELAYS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

SO. DO WE PAY ON DELIVERY OR? YEAH, IT DEPENDS ON THE PARTICULAR VEHICLE.

SOMETIMES WE PAY A DEPOSIT AND THEN SOMETIMES WE PAY, YOU KNOW, WE ACTUALLY PROCURE IT AND PAY UPON.

[01:30:03]

I'M JUST SAYING IN A TIGHT BUDGET, THAT'S AN AREA TO GET SOME BUFFER WHEN WE'RE MAKING SOME OTHER PRETTY DRACONIAN.

YEAH, IT CAN BE. AND IT'S A WELL WE'VE GONE BACK GONE TO IN THE PAST IN SOME INSTANCES WHERE WE'VE JUST NOW KIND OF REPOPULATED THAT FUND.

AND MOST OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE RECOMMENDED THIS YEAR ARE ON SCHEDULE.

AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT WE DELAY AND SOMETIMES WE CREATE ADDITIONAL COSTS AND WE CAN GO BACKWARDS IN CERTAIN CASES.

SO I THINK THE RIGHT TIME TO CONSIDER THAT WOULD BE WHEN WE REVIEW AND UPDATE THE POLICY.

OKAY. AND THEN JUST A REMINDER ON THE WED COMMUNITY SERVICES REORG, WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE WORDING TO TEMPORARY FOR THE DIRECTOR OF WED. WE CAN, I THINK THE BEST TIME TO DO THAT IS AS, AS PART OF THE APPROVAL OF THE EVENTUAL APPROVAL OF THE JOB SPECIFICATION. THE STAFF REPORT THAT TALKS ABOUT ITS EXECUTION.

WE'RE NOT REORGANIZING THE TWO DEPARTMENTS. WE'RE EFFECTIVELY CHANGING AND CREATING A NEW DEPARTMENT HEAD TITLE TO SUPERVISE THE TWO UNITS.

YEAH, I'D RATHER HAVE IT DOCUMENTED IN HERE SO THAT SOMEBODY.

IF THAT'S A, YOU KNOW, TEMPORARY IS FINE WITH THAT WORD AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T HAVE AN IMMEDIATE, WE CAN'T SUNSET THE APPLICATION. WE HAVE TO ALLOW IT TO PLAY OUT, SO TO SPEAK.

AND THEN THE HIRING FREEZE, YOU DID COMMIT TO SHOWING THE POSITIONS? WE. THAT WOULD BE CURRENTLY UNDER THAT FREEZE? YEAH, WE CAN RUN THE CURRENT. WE CAN RUN THE CURRENT LIST.

WE CAN RUN THAT LIST AT ANY TIME. WE IT'S AN HR DOCUMENT THAT CAN BE PRODUCED ELECTRONICALLY AT ANY TIME.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAD ANYBODY ELSE ON? OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE. OH, SORRY. I STILL THAT'S FROM.

COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC. I DID HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

FOR BRR NUMBER 9 IS TALKING ABOUT THE RB PACK USAGE.

I DIDN'T SEE IN THERE THE RENTAL FOR THE SPEAKER SERIES.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS HOW LIKE HOW MUCH THEY HOW MUCH WE CHARGE FOR THEM.

AND MAYBE ELIZABETH CAN ANSWER THAT. AND, AND JUST TO MAKE CLEAR.

BRR 9, THE REVISED VERSION THAT WAS BEFORE TONIGHT INCLUDED THE EXPENDITURE SIDE OF THE EQUATION.

I KNOW THAT QUESTION DID COME UP. OKAY. THAT'S IN THE BLUE FOLDER TONIGHT.

SPEAKER SERIES IS IN THERE. IT'S ABOUT $28,000.

28 PER. YES. OKAY. LET ME PULL IT UP. IT WAS JUST THREE OF THAT I SEE DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER SERIES.

FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES. SO THERE'S 6 ALTOGETHER FOR ALL 6 IS $28,873.

OKAY. JUST THAT WAS A CURIOUS ONE. SINCE YOU'RE UP HERE, CAN I ASK YOU ONE OTHER QUESTION? BRR 22 ABOUT THE HERITAGE COURT BENCHES. I HAD SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR CONCRETE AND I BASED ON THE BRR THERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S COMPLICATIONS WITH CREATING A PAD AND OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

POTENTIALLY OTHER MATERIALS THAT WE COULD BE USING IN DIFFERENT COSTS.

YES. WE ARE ACTUALLY EXPLORING A VERSION OF THE BENCH THAT LOOKS LIKE WOOD, BUT IS FAR MORE WEATHER RESISTANT AND IS AT A MUCH LOWER PRICE POINT.

OKAY. AND THE CURRENT COST ESTIMATE FOR 4 BENCHES WAS WITH DELIVERY ABOUT $10,000.

SO. WOULD THOSE REQUIRE PADS AS WELL OR? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

LOOK INTO THAT. I'LL SAY YES IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE PLACED ON THE GRASS.

YES. IF THEY'RE. ON THE. IF THERE ARE OPEN. GRANITE IN THE COURTYARD AREA.

THERE NEED BE A FOUNDATION OF SOME KIND IF NOT A PAD YEAH.

OKAY. AND YOU SAID FOR 4. FOR SHIPPING ITSELF.

$10,000. OKAY, GREAT. I THINK IT'S. IT'S IN THE BRR, RIGHT? THE NUMBER. THE BRR, I THINK, IS FOR CONCRETE BENCHES.

THERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE BENCH. YEAH. COUNCILMAN OBAGI DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR? ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR? YEAH. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S FOR YOU OR IF IT'S FOR MR. COOK, BUT I'D ASK FOR BRR ON LIVE STREAMING FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.

AND THEN I FEEL LIKE I HAD A DISCUSSION WITH SOMEBODY THAT IT WAS IN YOUR BUDGET ALREADY, MR. COOK. BUT ANYWAYS, DO YOU HAVE LIVE STREAMING COMING TO THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER? I'LL LET MIKE COOK. WE DID WORK ON IT A BIT, SO I'LL LET HIM ANSWER THAT ONE. ARE YOU GOING TO BE CHARGING FOR LIVE STREAMING IF PEOPLE REQUEST THAT? I'LL ANSWER THAT ONE. OKAY. YEAH.

WHEN I SPOKE TO JACK, WHO IS OUR CULTURAL ARTS MANAGER, HE DIDN'T REALLY EXPECT FOLKS TO REALLY PURCHASE LIVE STREAMING OPTIONS.

HE DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS A MARKET FOR THAT. AND SO IF WE INSTALL IT, IT WOULD MOSTLY BE FOR CITY USE.

HE DIDN'T REALLY EXPECT OR THINK THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY GENERATE REVENUE FROM THAT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S NOT WHAT I UNDERSTOOD.

BUT MY BAD. YEAH. JUST FROM MY RECOLLECTION FROM WE DIDN'T PUT THE NUMBERS TOGETHER ON THAT.

[01:35:01]

BUT NOT GOING TO MAKE THAT MONEY BACK BY OFFERING IT TO FOLKS? OKAY, COOL. THANK YOU. OKAY. TWO OTHER QUESTIONS.

GO AHEAD. BUT NOT FOR ELIZABETH. FOR BRR 15 IS TALKING ABOUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEIR TURNOUTS AND THE AUTO PULSES.

GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEED TO REPLACE THOSE.

I WAS JUST, I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW MANY TURNOUTS WE REPLACED IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND JUST, YOU KNOW, THE ONGOING KIND OF LIKE A VEHICLE REPLACEMENT SO THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TRACKING BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT REPLACING THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

AND I KNOW WE HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE THAT. SO IF WE COULD GET THAT INFORMATION.

YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN DO AN UPDATE TO 15 TO TRY TO PROVIDE THAT CONTEXT.

I THINK WE HAVE SPENT SOME SIGNIFICANT MONEY OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS IN THE BUDGETS, REPLACING ALL OF THE TURNOUTS.

I THINK WE'RE CURRENT WITH THEM AS OF NOW. OF COURSE, THAT CYCLE WILL.

YEAH, IT'S GOING TO COME BACK AND. COME BACK. SO WE DON'T NEED AN APPROPRIATION THIS FISCAL YEAR. IT'S ONE DOWN THE ROAD I THINK.

YEP. AND THEN THIS THE LAST QUESTION I HAD WAS ABOUT DOMINGUEZ PARK IN THE BRR TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE LEA MONITORING SYSTEM. IT SAYS AN ONGOING $116,000 FOR MONITORING ANNUALLY.

ARE WE PLANNING TO PUT THAT IN THE ONGOING BUDGET? IS IT? AND WHEN WOULD THAT BE IN PLACE? YEAH, THAT WOULD BE STARTING NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

NOT THIS. AND WE DID GET SOME GOOD NEWS AND CONVERSATIONS.

MAYBE WE CAN REDUCE THE FREQUENCY OF THAT MONITORING.

SO WE'RE JUST STILL FLESHING OUT WHAT THAT PLAN IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. BUT IT WILL BE AN OPERATIONAL COST MOVING FORWARD FOR THE PARK.

NOT A SMALL AMOUNT EITHER. NO. OKAY. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER. I WILL SAY JUST.

BUT PERHAPS ONE THAT WOULD BE SUSTAINABLE THROUGH OUR SOLID WASTE FUNDING.

OKAY. BECAUSE OF ITS EFFECT. SO THAT WILL HAVE TO, AS WE FINALIZE THAT COST AND HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ITS LONG TERM IMPLICATIONS, WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT AS A PROSPECTIVE SOURCE OF FUNDS.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT FUND ACTUALLY? SOLID WASTE FUND? YEAH. SO SOLID WASTE FUND IS SEPARATE FROM OUR WASTEWATER LIKE OUR SEWER FUND.

SO WHEN YOU SEE WASTEWATER FUND, THAT'S SEWER SYSTEM, THAT'S OUR THE FEES THAT ARE ASSESSED ON A PERSONALIZED BASIS THAT WE COLLECT FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS, CAPITAL, ETC. IN FACT, THAT'S ONE OF OUR CIPS IS WE NEED TO DO A COMPREHENSIVE SSMP UPDATE WHERE WE HAVE TO LOOK AT OUR SYSTEM PLAN FOR FUTURE COSTS, ETC. AND PERHAPS EVEN EVENTUALLY UPDATE OUR FEE STRUCTURE.

THAT'S A LIKELY OUTCOME OVER TIME. THE SOLID WASTE FUND IS GENERATED THROUGH EXCLUSIVE SOLID WASTE CHARGES AND SERVICE FEES, PRIMARILY OUR ADMIN FEE THAT IS COLLECTED AS PART OF OUR SOLID WASTE ACTIVITIES.

OKAY. WE HAVE OTHER SOURCES INTO THAT FUND BASED ON OUR CONTRACT, BUT THAT'S ITS PRIMARY SOURCE.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

ON YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THE VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUND.

I GET IT. IT'S A BIG DOLLAR AMOUNT. AND IF WE DID WANT TO DELAY PURCHASES, WE DO HAVE TO JUST BE CAREFUL.

WHEN I GOT ON THE RBUSD BOARD THEY HAD BEEN DELAYING PURCHASES AND IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THE AVERAGE AGE OF THEIR FLEET WAS LIKE 28 YEARS.

AND THEN IT BECAME A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO TRY AND FIX IT.

SO IF WE DO DELAY KNOWING THAT, OKAY, GREAT, THE NEXT FIVE YEARS MIGHT BE BAD BUDGET.

WE'RE GOING TO BE DELAYING, DELAYING, DELAYING. SO WE CAN'T.

WE JUST HAVE TO BE PRUDENT ABOUT IT AND PAY ATTENTION.

I TOTALLY AGREE. SO I'M NOT SAYING. LOOK AT THE. I'M NOT SAYING I DISAGREE.

IT'S JUST IT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A FOREVER DELAY. I'M TALKING ABOUT A ONE YEAR BECAUSE I HOPE THE ECONOMY RECOVERS.

RIGHT? BUT NEXT YEAR WE COULD HAVE THE SAME DISCUSSION. THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN.

ANYTHING ELSE? YEAH. I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON BRR 4 I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT REPORT.

TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN DONE FOR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT, SHOWING THAT THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY THAT'S BEING DONE ALL OVER THE CITY, NOT JUST IN MY AREA, ALTHOUGH A LARGE, LARGE PERCENTAGE OF IT WAS DEDICATED TO MY AREA.

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A BIG CITY AND IT NEEDS TO GET THAT ENFORCEMENT NEEDS TO BE SPREAD AROUND TO POTENTIALLY MORE DANGEROUS INTERSECTIONS, MORE DANGEROUS STREETS IN THE CITY THAT DO NEED THAT ENFORCEMENT.

BUT AT LEAST WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SHOW WHAT CAN WORK.

AND THAT IT DOES DOES MAKE EFFECTIVE DETERRENCE.

SO I JUST WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZE THAT OUT OF BRR 4, THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT FOR NOW.

[01:40:04]

15 WAS ABOUT ALL THE FIREFIGHTER GEAR THAT WE NEED OVER A TEN-YEAR REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE.

IS THAT? IS THERE A FUNDING NEED OR IS THAT ALREADY PART OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET? NOT A FUNDING NEED THIS FISCAL YEAR. WE HAVE A FAIRLY ROBUST M&O BUDGET IN MATERIAL AND SUPPLIES BUDGET NOW THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE IN PRIOR YEARS IN FIRE.

IS IT SUFFICIENT TO COVER ALL OF THAT EQUIPMENT OVER THAT TEN-YEAR PERIOD? NOT, NOT LIKELY. SO YOU'LL SEE PERIODIC SUPPLEMENTAL ONE TIME DECISION PACKAGE REQUEST TO COVER THOSE GAPS WHEN WE HAVE THEM.

THE AUTOPULSE DEVICE OR SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO MONITOR.

THAT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE A BIG TICKET REPLACEMENT ITEM OVER TIME.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET AS MUCH LIFE OUT OF THEM AS WE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

THIS, THIS BRR DAYLIGHTS, YOU KNOW, THAT POTENTIAL COST DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT WE'RE NOT THERE IN THIS FISCAL YEAR. BUT IT IS, YOU KNOW, LOOMING OVER THE NEXT FEW FISCAL YEARS AND WILL LIKELY BE SOMETHING THAT WE'LL HAVE TO AT LEAST APPLY SOME ONE TIME FUNDS FOR.

YOU'RE SAYING 2028, THE MONITORING SYSTEM WILL BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE AUTOPULSE.

YEAH, THERE'S THAT POTENTIAL. SOMETIMES THERE'S EXTENSIONS TO THAT.

YOU KNOW, THAT. THE MOVING TARGET. YEAH, IT CAN VERY MUCH BE A MOVING TARGET.

SO AND I TEND TO I TEND TO BE CAUTIOUS IN SIGNALING DEFINITIVE TIMELINES FOR THAT.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL THE DIRECTORS THAT WE MET WITH OVER THE COURSE OF THIS BUDGET.

DIRECTOR HAUSE. DIRECTOR. CHIEF SPRENGEL. DIRECTOR COOK.

DIRECTOR WINJE. DIRECTOR MEYER. TREASURER EUGENE SOLOMAN.

CHIEF BUTLER AS WELL. CITY ATTORNEY FORD. HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR, CLERK, MADAM CLERK, ELEANOR AND MANZANO. AND YEAH, SO IT'S BEEN A VERY EDUCATIONAL HELPFUL.

WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING IF WE CAN'T READ. AND THE PERSON I THINK ABOUT WHEN WE READ IS RIGHT THERE.

YES. YES. DANA VINKE. THANK YOU, SIR. SO QUIET ALL OVER THERE.

SORRY. MR. WHO I DID THANK PROFUSELY FOR ALLOWING US TO USE THE AREA AT THE NORTH BRANCH LIBRARY FOR THE NORTH REDONDO FARMERS MARKET, WHICH I THINK HAS BEEN RECIPROCALLY BENEFICIAL FOR BOTH FARMERS MARKET AND THE LIBRARY.

SO COOL. OKAY. YEP. OKAY. I HAVE ONE OTHER ON BRR 17 THAT THE ALL-TERRAIN WHEELCHAIR FOR WILDERNESS PARK. THAT'S TO ADDRESS ADA ACCESS TO THE PARK.

CAN WE BUY THAT WITH QUIMBY FEES? WE BELIEVE WE CAN.

YES, BUT THE. YOUR PROJECT ACCOUNT AT WILDERNESS PARK ACTUALLY HAS A COMBINATION OF QUIMBY AND SOME RESIDUAL DISCRETIONARY FUNDS.

SO YOUR CIP ACCOUNT ISN'T EXCLUSIVELY QUIMBY, BUT WE HAVE SOME OTHER CARRYOVER.

SO WE'RE OKAY TO CHARGE AGAINST THE PROJECT ACCOUNT.

MAYBE THAT'S THE ANSWER I CAN GIVE. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY IS I.

YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO INCLUDE THAT IN MY WILDERNESS PARK.

THE ACTUAL PROJECT ACCOUNT? YEAH, YEAH. I THINK THAT WOULD BE HARD.

TO MAKE THIS A SEPARATE THING WE'RE TRACKING. JUST PUT IT IN.

YEAH. I THINK IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO ADD IT TO THE SCOPE AND THAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND THE SAME.

YEAH. BECAUSE I CONTINUE TO GET, YOU KNOW, INQUIRIES OUT INTO ACCESSIBILITY.

AND, YOU KNOW, I WANT IT TO BE ACCESSIBLE. THE ONE I WOULD GO FOR IS THE ONE THAT SAID LOANER AND IS THE KIND OF MID-PRICED ONE VERSUS THE HIGH PRICED.

I WANT PEOPLE FOUR WHEELING ALL OVER THE PARK WANTING TO STICK TO THE TRAILS.

BUT, BUT SOMETHING ALONG IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT EXACT ONE, BUT.

IT'S A GOOD SOLUTION FOR A. I DON'T WANT TO PAVE THE WHOLE PARK BECAUSE THAT WOULD RUIN THE WHOLE FIELD.

ABSOLUTELY. OF WILDERNESS PARK. THIS IS A MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE, ELEGANT SOLUTION FOR THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

AND I AM REMISS IN ONE THING. I DID WANT TO NOTE THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE OF THE SMARTEST DECISIONS YOU AND THE COUNCIL MADE LAST YEAR WAS TO OR TWO YEARS AGO, MAYBE WAS BRINGING ON A PROJECT MANAGER FOR FP.

I THINK THAT EXECUTION CHRISTINE'S IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT.

THAT'S BEEN EXEMPLARY. I THINK. IT'S HER BIRTHDAY TOO.

WITH THE WITH. IT'S HER BIRTHDAY TOO. WELL, I WAS.

YOU STOLE MY WHOLE THING. OH I'M SORRY MAYOR. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINE.

BUT WE VALUE YOU, AND I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT DECISION YOU MADE, AND.

I AGREE. FOR SUCH A COMPLEX PROJECT, IT IS MOVING ALONG AND I'M VERY IMPRESSED SO.

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THAT. I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU ANYMORE.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY. OKAY WITH THAT. IF THERE'S NO OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL WE'LL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT AND I'VE GOT ONE CARD. SUSAN HIGGINS. I PREPARED A

[01:45:02]

GIVEN THAT THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE, I THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND HOPEFULLY AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN.

BUT I DID WANT TO FIRST OF ALL, I'M SUSAN HIGGINS, A 36 YEAR REDONDO BEACH RESIDENT, AND I'M HERE TONIGHT IN MY ROLE AS A GROUP LEAD FOR THE REDONDO BEACH RESIDENTS PICKLEBALL PLAYERS GROUP TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE AVIATION PARK PICKLEBALL FACILITY, CIP PROJECT. OKAY, THAT'S THE INTRO. AND I ALSO WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

WE UNDERSTAND THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN IS A MAJOR DRIVER IN MAKING BUDGET DECISIONS AND SETTING PRIORITIES OR PROJECT PRIORITIES.

SO WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED AND INCORPORATED AVIATION PARK PICKLEBALL FACILITY INTO THAT STRATEGIC PLAN AS PRIORITY AREA 3, GOAL 3.2 EXPAND AND ENHANCE PUBLIC SPACES, AMENITIES AND PROGRAMS. THANK YOU. WE'VE REVIEWED THE CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSED CIP BUDGET AND THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED TO $500,000 FOR AVIATION PARK. AND WE HOPE THAT CERTAINLY GETS APPROVED.

AND IF YOU WANT TO ADD MORE TO IT, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TOO, BECAUSE WE WERE COMPARING IT TO THE COST OF THE TORRANCE WILSON PARK 8 DEDICATED COURT PICKLEBALL FACILITY, AND THEIR BUDGET WAS $1.3 $1.4 MILLION.

AND THAT PICKLEBALL FACILITY IS NOW IN THE FINAL STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE DONE NEXT MONTH.

8 DEDICATED COURTS, COURT LIGHTING, FENCING, BENCHES, BENCHES, THE WHOLE THING.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE BRR QUESTIONS BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY KIND OF COVERED THE BRR 28.

SO I'LL JUST GO TO OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. AND WHEN I SAY OUR, I'M TALKING ABOUT MY GROUP.

THESE ARE MEMBERS OF MY GROUP RIGHT HERE. WE RECOMMEND THE PICKLEBALL FACILITY AT AVIATION PARK HAVE 8 DEDICATED COURTS.

COURT LIGHTING, COURT FENCING AND BENCH SEATING.

NOT NECESSARILY STADIUM SEATING, BUT BENCH SEATING.

WHICH WOULD PRESENT THE MOST OPPORTUNITIES FOR GENERATING REVENUE FOR THE CITY AND PROVIDE THE PICKLEBALL COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY REDONDO BEACH RESIDENTS, WITH THE GREATEST ACCESS TO PLAY MULTIPLE PICKLEBALL PROGRAMS FOR GENERATING REVENUE ARE ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENTS, LEAGUE PLAY, DROP IN FEE PLAY, COURT RESERVATIONS AND CONDUCTING CLASSES.

AND AS A GIVE BACK TO THE PICKLEBALL COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY THE REDONDO BEACH RESIDENTS.

ALLOW FREE OPEN PLAY ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS WHEN THE COURTS ARE OPEN 8:00 TO 9:00, WHATEVER IT IS.

NINE TO. THANK YOU, YOUR TIME IS UP. FOR 8:00 A.M.

TO 9:00 BUT WE'LL GET INTO THAT. YOUR TIME'S UP.

LATER DOWNSTREAM DETAILS OF THESE REVENUE GENERATING ACTIVITIES AND CLARIFICATION NOTES THAT.

MS. HIGGINS. I'M SORRY? YOUR TIME IS UP. MY TIME IS UP ALREADY? YEAH. OH, SORRY. I DIDN'T GET TO MY LAST COMMENT.

SORRY I CAN'T EXTEND. I CAN'T SEE IT ON THE BOARD THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T KNOW. THERE'S NOTHING UP THERE.

IT WAS UP THERE. I WAS, I WAS WATCHING, I DIDN'T SEE IT.

I DIDN'T. YOUR TIME IS UP. I'M SORRY WE CAN'T EXTEND PEOPLE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM? ANYONE ONLINE? WE HAVE TWO INDIVIDUALS ONLINE.

WE HAVE DARRYL BOYD AND THEN JOAN IRVINE. GO AHEAD.

DARYL. THANK YOU. DARRYL BOYD DISTRICT 3. SO NOTHING ABOUT THE NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE MEDIAN, BUT A CATALINA AVENUE MEDIAN RENOVATION, MORE PICKLEBALL, AND DOMINGUEZ PARK FOR PAIGE IT'S REALLY DISAPPOINTING. RESIDENTIAL STREET REHAB SHOULD INCLUDE THE NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE MEDIAN.

SO WHERE IS THAT? OR DID I MISS SOMETHING HERE? SAW A NICE SLIDE WITH A NICELY LANDSCAPED MEDIAN.

MR. REYES, NICE WORK, BUT WHY NO PICS OF THE NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE MEDIAN? PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHY ON THAT. PAIGE, ASKING YOU ONCE AGAIN TO PLEASE STAND UP FOR THE TAXPAYING RESIDENTS OF 500 TO 600 NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE IN THE BOROUGH HEIGHTS COMMUNITY.

WE ARE YOUR CONSTITUENTS. WE'RE ASKING YOU TO SUPPORT A BUDGET FOR COMPLETION OF THE NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE MEDIAN TO INCLUDE SAFETY, TRAFFIC CALMING, NOISE REMEDIATION AND PRIVACY.

YOU ALL KEEP TALKING ON THIS COUNCIL ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE.

OURS AT 500 TO 600 NORTH PROSPECT IN BOYLE HEIGHTS COMMUNITY HAS SUFFERED FOR YEARS AND IT'S GETTING WORSE,

[01:50:06]

THIS IS IMPORTANT AND WE WOULD WELCOME THAT. THANK YOU.

OKAY. ANYONE ELSE? YES. JOAN IRVINE. GO AHEAD JOAN.

HI. JOAN IRVINE. DISTRICT 1. I WANTED TO JUST MAKE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER.

KIND OF. COULD BE FOUND MONEY. I WAS TAKING A LOOK, AND THESE ARE JUST.

I GOT THESE OFF OF AI, SO THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT TOTALLY REAL, BUT AS FAR AS DOG LICENSES, WE BRING IN ABOUT $70,000 A YEAR IN DOG LICENSES. FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD, ONLY LESS THAN 25% OF THE DOGS IN REDONDO BEACH ARE LICENSED. SO THAT IF WE WOULD HAVE EVEN IF WE WOULD JUST DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF LICENSES, YOU KNOW, THAT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, CLOSE TO, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, $70,000, $100,000 THAT COULD BE UTILIZED.

AND ALSO I THINK THAT THE WAY TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS IS THAT REQUIRE THAT.

FIRST OF ALL, IF A DOG IS OUT THAT YOU KNOW WE NEED THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHECK FOR A LICENSE.

ALSO REQUIRE THAT APARTMENT BUILDINGS OR CONDOS OR WHATEVER, IF THERE'S GOING TO BE DOG, IF THEY'RE GOING TO ALLOW DOGS IN THEIR BUILDINGS THAT THEY REQUIRE THE DOG HAVE A LICENSE.

BECAUSE I KNOW IN MY BUILDING, THERE'S A LOT OF DOGS, AND I UNDERSTAND MOST OF THEM ARE NOT LICENSED.

SO RIGHT THERE, THAT COULD BE SOME FOUND MONEY.

ALSO, ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS JUST OUT ON THE ESPLANADE THIS WEEKEND AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SMELL OF URINE.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS IS THAT ALSO APARTMENT BUILDING PEOPLE ARE COMING IN, THEY'RE WALKING DOGS, THAT'S GREAT, BUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE USING THE ESPLANADE, YOU KNOW, AS A PLACE FOR THEIR DOGS TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES.

I WOULD RECOMMEND, LIKE THE HOTELS HAVE THAT EVERY MULTI-UNIT PLACE OR EVERY PLACE PROVIDE THEIR OWN DOG RELIEF AREA SO THAT THEY'RE NOT USING THE ESPLANADE FOR THAT.

ALSO THAT IF WE AND THEN ALSO DO THE FINES. HAVE SOME FINES, IF PEOPLE ARE JUST ALLOWING THEIR DOGS TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES.

THEN ALSO THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH THIS AND IT'S LIKE, I'M IN MY CAR, I'VE JUST BEEN DRIVING.

DRIVING HOME. IS THAT THAT YOU DESIGNATE CERTAIN AREAS OF THE ESPLANADE OR OTHER PUBLIC AREAS THAT WE AS A CITY PROVIDE DOG RELIEF AREAS SO THAT THEY CAN BE SPECIALLY SET UP AND WHAT THIS WOULD DO.

AND SO THE DOG OWNERS COULD TAKE THEIR DOGS THERE.

AND I THINK, AND I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER, BUT I THINK THIS COULD REDUCE THE COST OF THE PUBLIC WORKS COST OF CLEANING THE ESPLANADE AND OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY.

SO THERE'S POTENTIAL REVENUE AND A POTENTIAL, YOU KNOW, DECREASE IN COST BY DOING THIS.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? THERE ARE NO OTHER. NO OTHER COMMENTS ONLINE.

AND THERE WAS ONE ECOMMENT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

HI. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. SUE GALLAGHER, FELLOW PICKLEBALL HOLDER.

WE JUST RECOMMEND THAT CITY COUNCIL PERHAPS INVOLVE WHAT SHE CALLS THE STAKEHOLDERS WHO KNOW A LOT ABOUT PLAYING PICKLEBALL INTO SOME OF THE DECISIONS.

MAYBE IN THE DESIGN PHASE, THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE ENTIRE PROGRAM.

ALTAVISTA CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL. AND WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS COMES OUT BEAUTIFUL TOO.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. SAME FOLKS WILL BE IN CHARGE, SO DON'T WORRY.

ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. LET'S SEE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL? BEFORE I ASK FOR THE MOTION TO CONTINUE THE HEARING.

SURE. I'M HAPPY TO SHARE OUR PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS.

COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT AND I HAVE HAD, IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT MAYOR. YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

LIGHT UP 2.B? SURE. PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT DO YOU WANT TO GIVE ANY PRELIMINARY REMARKS ON THE DRAFT MOTION THAT WE'VE COME UP WITH? SURE. SO WE'RE BACK AGAIN THIS WEEK WITH A REVISED MOTION AFTER TAKING FURTHER INPUT FROM STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY RECHECKING WITH THE DIRECTORS AS NEEDED AND HEARING FROM OUR FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS.

AND WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS, ONE, BE SENSITIVE TO THE FACT THAT WE ARE IN A WHAT I'LL JUST TERM A TIGHT BUDGET SITUATION.

[01:55:08]

AND, AND WITHOUT REVEALING TOO MUCH, I DID TALK TO OUR TREASURER AND I DON'T KNOW IF MR. SOLOMON IS HERE. THERE HE IS IN THE BACK. AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN A, WE'RE KIND OF IN A BIT OF A SITUATION, BUT IF WE DO THIS RIGHT, WE, YOU KNOW, HAVE A POTENTIAL TO BE OKAY.

SO ADDITIONALLY, PICKING UP ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE AREAS THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS ON? PUBLIC SAFETY CAME TO MIND. CITY BEAUTIFICATION.

THERE ARE SOME OTHERS. AND WHERE CITY HAVE NOT ONE PARTICULAR DISTRICT OR PEOPLE, BUT WE'RE CITY WIDE AND WE THOUGHT IT'D BE IMPORTANT TO INCLUDED THERE ITEMS THAT WE PERCEIVED AS IMPORTANT TO OTHER SEGMENTS OF THE CITY.

AND I THOUGHT COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI DID A GOOD JOB GOING THROUGH THAT.

AND THEN FINALLY YOU KNOW, IT'S THE REALITY. REVENUES AND FEES AND ADJUSTMENTS AND BRINGING CERTAIN ITEMS TO WHAT I'LL JUST CALL KIND OF A MARKET RATE TO HELP.

YOU KNOW, RESIDENTS DO BEAR THAT WE BEAR THAT WE'RE NOT EXCLUDED FROM IT, BUT WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO, TO KIND OF DO A REFRESH ON SOME OF THOSE. SO WITH THAT I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI HAS THE MOTION.

AND IT WOULD BE GOOD MAYBE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND GET SOME FURTHER INPUT AND THOUGHTS.

THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT. GOOD. GOOD PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.

SO WE WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE ALL DECISION PACKAGES IN THE FIVE-YEAR CIP UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED.

ADOPT BRR NUMBER 1 AND 8. 8 INDICATES WHAT WE HAVE SUBSIDIZED HISTORICALLY THE SIGNATURE EVENTS.

BUT I UNDERSTAND WE'RE GOING TO GET ANOTHER BRR ON THAT, INDICATING THE AMOUNT THAT WE THINK THOSE EVENTS ARE GOING TO GET CHARGED BY THE CITY THIS YEAR. AND WE CAN MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO, TO BRR 8.

SO ONE THOUGHT WE HAD POTENTIALLY WAS THE RIVIERA EVENTS THAT ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, FREE TO THE PUBLIC, THE OCTOBER HALLOWEEN STROLL, THE HOLIDAY STROLL THOSE EVENTS SHOULD REALLY MAYBE RECEIVE A FULL SUBSIDY.

WE THOUGHT BECAUSE THEY'RE TOTALLY FREE TO THE PUBLIC AND ARE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO CONVENE.

SO WE THOUGHT WE'D ADJUST IT IN THAT REGARD AND OTHERWISE AS SEEMS APPARENT NECESSARY.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE START WITH A BUDGET, IMPORTANTLY, GENERAL FUND BUDGET OF A BALANCE OF $0.

AND THE SUBDIVISION TRUST FUND HAS OVER $374,000 AS PROJECTED.

LIGHTING FOR THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BIKE PATH.

THERE IS THE LAST SECTION OF THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BIKE PATH UP AT THE NORTH.

HAS NO LIGHTS ON IT. AND THEN GOING TO DALE PAGE WHERE YOU CONTINUE ON THE PATHWAY ALSO IS COMPLETELY DARK.

SO JUST FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY STANDPOINT, WE THOUGHT THAT MORE LIGHTING WAS NEEDED THERE.

IT WOULD COST $90,000. AND WE'D ASK THAT THE GRANT, GRANT FUNDS FOR TRANSPORTATION BE PURSUED.

OTHERWISE, USE SUBDIVISION TRUST FUNDS BECAUSE DALE PAGE IS ELIGIBLE FOR THAT AS PATHWAY NRBBA BIKE PATH.

THAT IS A HIGHLY USED MOBILITY SECTION OF, OF THE NORTH REDONDO.

AND SO PEOPLE WALK ON IT, RIDE THEIR BIKES ON IT ALL THE TIME.

STUDENTS USE IT TO GET TO SCHOOL. WE THINK THAT IT WOULD BENEFIT GREATLY FROM A REFRESH.

RESTRIPING. THAT'S $57,200. THAT PUTS US IN THE WHOLE $37,200.

BRR 42. I'D LIKE TO HELP OUT THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH FARMERS MARKET STAY IN PLACE, HELP THEM WITH THESE VERY HEAVY BARRIERS THAT THEY HAVE TO PUT UP FOR THE TRAFFIC. SO IF AFTER DESIGNING.

CONSULTING A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL, IF IT'S RECOMMENDED, GO WITH OPTION 3, WHICH ARE THESE MANUAL, MANUALLY REMOVABLE FIXED BOLLARDS FOR THE NRB FARMERS MARKET, IF THERE'S A LOCATION TO STORE THEM WHEN THEY'RE NOT ERECTED OR WE'D LIKE TO.

AND THAT BRINGS US THAT'S $40,000. AND THAT BRINGS US TO A NEGATIVE BALANCE OF $97,000.

EXCEPT THE BRR 44. ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER FOR TRAFFIC CALMING AT TEN SCHOOL PEDESTRIAN INTERSECTIONS AND SPEED HUMPS AT ALL NRB BIKE PATHS WHERE PERMISSIBLE.

THAT'S $0. THEY DID INDICATE THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE FUNDING AND THE TRAFFIC CALMING SAFETY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

SO MOVING ON TO BRR 18 PARKING STUDY UPDATE FOR AVIATION BOULEVARD, INCLUDING CENTER TURN LINE ANALYSIS,

[02:00:08]

AND THAT BRINGS US TO ONE -$152,200. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY STANDPOINT, IN MY OPINION, BECAUSE AVIATION GRANT IS ONE OF OUR BETWEEN, BETWEEN GRANT AVENUE AND FORD AVENUE ON AVIATION IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS SECTIONS OF STREET IN REDONDO BEACH WITH ACCIDENTS ALL THE TIME.

WOMAN WAS KILLED CROSSING THE STREET YEARS AGO.

CRASHES INTO GEORGE AS OCCUR ALL THE TIME. HIGH SPEEDING.

SO WE NEED TO SLOW IT DOWN. ONE AGE OLD WAY TO SLOW DOWN THE STREET IS TO NARROW THE LANES.

ONE WAY YOU CAN NARROW THE LANES, PUT IN A BIKE LANE PUT IN A CENTER LINE WHERE PEOPLE CAN MAKE LEFT TURNS AND ALIKE.

SO WE NEED TO CONDUCT THAT ANALYSIS. REVIVE THE ANALYSIS THAT WAS DONE PREVIOUSLY BY BEACH CITIES HEALTH DISTRICT.

WORK WITH HERMOSA BEACH AS PART OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO MAKE AVIATION A MODERN STREET WHERE PEOPLE CAN MOVE AROUND ON THEIR BIKES MULTI-MODAL. ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, WE'D BE IN THE WHOLE $152,000.

NOW MOVING ON TO QUALITY OF LIFE AND REVENUE GENERATION, WHICH EVERY ONE OF THESE ITEMS SERVES TWO PURPOSES.

THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT I RECEIVE IN MY DISTRICT AND HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE LAST YEAR, BESIDES HEDGES AS OF LATE, IS PEOPLE AREN'T MOVING THEIR CARS AND MY STREET'S NOT GETTING SWEPT AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING EVERYTHING I THINK THEY CAN DO WITHIN THE RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE TO ENFORCE STREET SWEEPING AND TO ISSUE CITATIONS.

BUT I THINK THEY JUST CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE NUMBER OF OFFENDERS THAT ARE OUT THERE. AND WHEN YOU GET THE DATA OF HOW MANY OF OUR CITATIONS THAT WERE ISSUED LAST YEAR ARE ALLOCATED TO STREET SWEEPING VERSUS CITATIONS FOR PARKING AT AN EXPIRED METER AND PARKING IN THE RED.

IT'S OVERWHELMINGLY FOR STREET SWEEPING. SO OUR GOAL WOULD BE TO ADD TWO MSOS AND RBPD.

THAT WOULD BRING IN, YOU KNOW, IN THE COURSE OF A FULL YEAR, ABOUT $130,000.

BUT I IMAGINE IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME TO RECRUIT TWO MSOS.

SO I'VE ALLOCATED A NET $65,447 TO THE BUDGET.

BRR 5 ALSO INCREASE THE STREET SWEEPING CITATION TO $79 TO MATCH WHAT WE HAVE FOR OTHER CITATIONS.

AGAIN, I'VE GOT RESIDENTS COMPLAINING TO ME. PEOPLE AREN'T MOVING THEIR CARS.

THEY'RE LEAVING THEM IN THE WAY THEY'RE GAMING THE SYSTEM AND THEY'RE NOT THEIR STREETS NOT GETTING SWEPT.

WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THAT. SO THIS IS BOTH ENHANCING QUALITY OF LIFE BY GETTING THE STREETS CLEANED AND GENERATING REVENUE.

TRYING TO PROMOTE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR THAT WE WANT TO SEE.

MY HOPE IS THAT THIS WILL BE A DECLINING SOURCE OF REVENUE AS WE MOVE FORWARD, BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL BE INDUCED BY THIS HIGH CITATION TO MOVE THEIR CARS AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE STREET SWEEPER, AND WE'LL HAVE CLEANER STREETS IN DENSE DISTRICT 4, ESPECIALLY.

ALL RIGHT, INCREASE THE TOWING FEE TO $233. THAT IS THE AVERAGE OF MANHATTAN BEACH, HERMOSA BEACH AND TORRANCE.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE LIST. 209, 284, 206, 233 COMES RIGHT AT THE.

THAT GENERATES $56,000. NOW WE'RE POSITIVE AT $387,647.

TAKING EVERYTHING INTO ACCOUNT BEFORE YOU LEAVE BRR 5.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION? YEAH. AND THIS MAY BE FOR STAFF.

AS I'M READING BRR 5. WITH RESPECT TO THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES OFFICERS, IT'S ACTUALLY ENDS UP BEING A NET POSITIVE BASED ON THE REVENUE THEY GENERATE FROM. RIGHT, CORRECT. THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY OFFSET.

GENERATE ESTIMATED REVENUE. THAT'S WHY I HAVE A -65,000.

SO EVERY ONE OF THE POSITIVE NUMBERS IS ACTUALLY A DRAW. OH NEVER MIND.

I GOT IT. I KNOW IT'S IN GREEN. GREEN IS RED.

THAT'S MY BAD GREEN. GREEN IS POSITIVE. GOT IT, GOT IT, GOT IT.

THANK YOU FOR. SORRY. IT'S KIND OF. AN ODD MATH.

IT'S NOT PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO INDICATE THIS, BUT THAT'S JUST HOW IT TURNED OUT.

ALL RIGHT. REGIONAL PARKS, OPEN SPACE IMPROVEMENT SUBDIVISION TRUST FUNDS.

ALL RIGHT. CIP ADD TO PICKLEBALL ANOTHER $100,000 TO GET US TOWARDS THE PROBABLY $1.5 MILLION WE NEED THERE.

THAT'S IN ADDITION TO THE 500 SUGGESTED. THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THE $500,000 THAT'S SUGGESTED THERE AND DESIGNATED A BEHRENDT-OBAGI PRIORITY PROJECT.

BRR 45 ADD FUNDS TO CIP PROJECT NUMBER 31040.

THAT'S THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PERRY PARK FENCING. AGAIN, BEING VERY PATIENT HERE, JUST TRYING TO FUND IT A LITTLE BIT EVERY YEAR SO THAT BY THE TIME I'M OUT OF COUNCIL, IT'S FULLY FUNDED AND CAN BE REPLACED, AND $78,000 WOULD BRING THE FULL ALLOCATION TO $150,000 OF THE $250,000

[02:05:01]

WE ADDED $10,000 FOR REPLACING WAYFINDING MONUMENT SIGNS FOR REGIONAL PARKS.

AS THEY BREAK, THEY'D COME INTO DISREPAIR. SO THOSE AREN'T THE MONUMENT SIGNS? THESE AREN'T THE MONUMENT SIGNS FOR THE CITY. THESE ARE JUST FOR PARKS.

WE'LL GET TO THE MONUMENT SIGNS FOR THE CITY. ALL RIGHT.

BRR 17 ADDS TO THE PERRY PARK TEEN CENTER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT COUNT PROJECT 20940 FOR THE TEEN CENTER WHEELCHAIR LIFT.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR HAUSE, FOR LETTING US KNOW THAT THE HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA CLUB HAS ALREADY ASKED ABOUT USING THE STAGE, AND OUR TEAM WOULD BE EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH THEM ON A PERFORMANCE OR SPECIAL EVENT. SCHOOL OF ROCK ALSO INTERESTED.

AND SO ALL THESE GROUPS HAVE HAD INTEREST IN USING THIS THE TEEN CENTER STAGE, BUT ARE UNABLE TO BECAUSE IT'S NOT ADA ACCESSIBLE.

SO THANK YOU, MAYOR ALSO FOR BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION.

THIS IS BRR 17 FUND FROM THE WILDERNESS PARK ACCOUNT 31010.

THE ALL TERRAIN ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR. THE ONE THAT YOU INDICATED YOU'D PREFER MAYOR.

AND WE PREFER AS WELL. BRR 22 HERITAGE COURT BENCH 1 OF 4.

STARTED. DECIDED TO START WITH THAT COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC.

WERE YOU ASKING FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF BENCH THAT COST A DIFFERENT AMOUNT? YES.

DIRECTOR HAUSE INDICATED THAT YOU COULD GET FOUR BENCHES FOR $10,000, BUT IT'S $10,000 PLUS THE CONCRETE.

YEAH, THAT'S THE THING THAT. $18,000 TOTAL, RIGHT? THE CONCRETE PADS WERE 18 PLUS TWO FOR MATERIALS, I THINK 20K FOR FOUR SITES.

SO PADS ARE 5K PER SITE. 5K PER SITE? YEAH. AND THEN THE BENCH IS DEPEND ON THE SPECIFIC BENCH.

SO YEAH IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY AND WHAT TYPE OF BENCH.

RIGHT. SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FOUR PADS, THE FOUR BENCHES WE'RE LOOKING AT $30,000.

YEAH. ROUGHLY 30 OF IF WE'RE GOING AWAY FROM CONCRETE INTO THE ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL.

GOT IT. AND IF WE'RE LOOKING AT CONCRETE IT WOULD ALSO BE ABOUT 40 IS MY UNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE THIS IS THE COST THAT'S ACTUALLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE CONCRETE ONES. CONCRETE, I THINK WAS FOUR PER LITTLE OVER FOUR PER.

SO THE CONCRETE BENCHES WOULD BE SLIGHTLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN, THAN WHAT ELIZABETH WAS REFERENCING AS THE ALTERNATIVE.

OKAY. GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, SO FAR WE'VE FUNDED ONE.

THERE IS MONEY LEFT OVER HERE SO PRESUMABLY WE COULD FUND TWO.

WE'LL GET WE'LL GET THE EXACT NUMBER I GUESS FROM DIRECTOR HAUSE AND TRY TO FUND THAT IN.

WHAT WE'LL DO IS JUST KNOWING THAT THIS IS OF INTEREST TO THE GROUP, WE'LL UPDATE BRR 22 TO REFLECT THE ALTERNATIVE COSTING WITH THE ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL.

AND, AND WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL AGGREGATE THE COST PER BENCH ALL IN FULLY LOADED.

SO THAT'S AN EASIER CALC. AND CAN YOU VERIFY IF IT NEEDS A FULL PAD OR IF IT CAN USE? WE WILL. WE THINK IT WILL PROBABLY NEED A FULL PAD.

THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO DO BENCHES IN PARKS. THAT SAID, POURING PADS AT DOMINGUEZ PARK ISN'T AS EASY AS IT USED TO BE.

SO WE MAY HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT AS WELL. 4 PEDESTALS MIGHT BE EASIER TO JUST PLACE.

IT WAS SUGGESTED TO JUST GET WOOD BENCHES THERE.

AND I REALIZED THAT THEY WHERE IN THE SUN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED OFTEN.

YEAH. AND THE OTHER THING YOU MAY WANT TO DO IS JUST APPROPRIATE, AN AMOUNT THAT YOU ALL FEEL IS REASONABLE, AND THEN YOU JUST DIRECT US TO EXECUTE AS COST EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE.

BUT I HATE TO SAY IT, DEPENDING ON WHAT WE ULTIMATELY INSTALL, WE ARE GOING TO WE MAY HAVE TO CONSULT WITH OUR LEA FRIENDS.

I KNOW THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE CRAZY, BUT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.

ALL RIGHT. CONTINUING ON, IF I MAY. BRR 30, DOMINGUEZ PARK FENCE REMOVAL.

WE UNDERSTOOD FROM THE CITY MANAGER THAT THAT COULD BE DRAWN FROM THE DOMINGUEZ PARK HILLSIDE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ACCOUNT NUMBER 30780 FOR A COST OF $23,826. AND REMOVE IT AND REPLACE IT. AND I WOULD SAY WE'RE NOT EVEN CERTAIN YET THAT WE WOULD HAVE A COST, A SIGNIFICANT COST ASSOCIATED WITH FENCE REMOVAL. WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE THINK WE CAN DO PRETTY COST EFFECTIVELY.

OKAY. WE WERE THINKING, YEAH, ALSO RELOCATING IT AND YOU AROUND THE.

YEAH. AND THAT THAT COMPONENT, WHAT I WOULD SAY IS WE, WE WANT TO DO THAT BROADER FENCING PLAN SO THAT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO KNOW.

ALL RIGHT. AND THE LAST CATEGORY OF BUDGETARY ITEMS WE HAD WAS BRANDING OR BEAUTIFYING REDONDO BEACH BRR 14.

RECURRING INCREASE OF POWER WASHING OF THE ESPLANADE TWO MORE TIMES PER YEAR, PERHAPS DURING THE BUSIER SUMMER MONTHS.

[02:10:03]

BRR 19. LANDSCAPING SOUTH JUANITA AND CAMINO REAL $12,000.

BRR 29. REBRANDING RBFD VEHICLES WITH LOGO. SAFETY, VEHICLE DESIGN SUPPORT FROM PERHAPS OUR DESIGNER AND I DIDN'T INCLUDE POLICE IN HERE JUST BECAUSE THAT'S A MUCH BIGGER PRICE TAG.

AND THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY FIRE ENGINES THEY DON'T GET REPLACED AS OFTEN.

SO I'VE SEEN THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S ALREADY BEEN UPDATING AT LEAST ONE CAR WITH A LOGO.

SO I'M HOPING THAT AS YOU GET NEW CARS, YOU CAN UPDATE THEM WITH THE NEW DESIGN.

AND THEN BUT I DID THINK THAT THAT CAR WAS SUPER FLY, BY THE WAY, WHEN I SAW IT.

BRR 35. CITYWIDE MONUMENT AND WAYFINDING SIGNS REFRESH $96,000.

I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR AGAIN, BRANDING REDONDO BEACH HAVING CONSISTENCY IN SOME OF THOSE, SOME OF THOSE SIGNS LOOK VERY, VERY OLD AND ARE IN NEED OF A REFRESH.

THAT BRINGS A TOTAL BALANCE REMAINING AT $248,312.24.

LAST ITEM NOT DRAWING ON THE GENERAL FUND IS MOSAIC ART FOR THE SHORE WALL BETWEEN THE SURF CLUB AND THE RIVIERA AND RIVIERA CANTINA.

A GOOD IDEA OF THE MAYOR'S $50,000 TO COME FROM THE JOHN PARSONS PUBLIC ART FUND UP TO $50,000.

AND REFER TO THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION. COMMISSION.

IF I COULD CHANGE THE WORDING. NOT MOSAIC, BUT ART TILE.

MOSAIC. THAT'S A DIFFERENT. OR TILE MURAL. THERE YOU GO.

ALL RIGHT. AND THE ENDING GENERAL FUND BALANCE OF $248,000 JUST ALLOWS THE CITY MANAGER TO HAVE A LITTLE FLEXIBILITY AND ALLEVIATES PRESSURE ON THE FLEXIBLE HIRING FREEZE THAT HE'S IMPLEMENTED.

SO OUR GOAL IS NOT TO SPEND ALL THE MONEY AND TRY TO USE IT AS CONSERVATIVELY AS POSSIBLE TO GET THE MOST BANG FOR BUCK.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. CAN YOU KEEP IT UP? OH, SURE. I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK IF WE COULD SHARE THE EXCEL FILE LIKE WE DID LAST WEEK AS WELL.

WE'LL DO THAT. SURE. SO YEAH, WE WANTED TO PROVIDE THIS FOLKS TO HAVE IT LOOK AT IT AND BE ABLE TO DRAW FROM THAT. AND I KNOW THE MAYOR IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO TALK OFFLINE AS WELL AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE DISCUSSIONS.

SO THANK YOU. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO LEAVE IT UP.

I CAN LEAVE IT UP. WELL, I JUST, YOU KNOW, I'M IN LARGELY IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT.

I QUESTION WHETHER THE LAST TWO NEED TO BE A PRIORITY RIGHT NOW.

BUT I'M WILLING TO TALK TO THAT OFFLINE. THANK YOU MAYOR.

OKAY. SO WITH THAT FIRST I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS AND I THINK THE BRIEFING FROM TONIGHT. WELL, THAT WAS IN THE, IN THE PACKAGE.

YEAH. YEAH. SO CAN, CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE.

MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE. SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL FOR? AYE. OKAY. AND THEN A MOTION TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO JUNE 16TH, 2026.

SO MOVED. SECOND. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL FOR? AYE. ANYONE OPPOSED? OKAY. MOTION CARRIES 5-0.

IS EXCEL OR PDF? EXCEL, PLEASE. EXCEL. YOU SEND IT TO ELEANOR AND SHE CAN SEND THE EXCEL FILE TO US.

OKAY. WITH THAT ITEM, WE'LL BE WRAPPING UP VERY, VERY QUICKLY HERE.

[O. CITY MANAGER ITEMS]

WE HAD A HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS AND ELECTRONIC WASTE ROUNDUP THIS PAST WEEKEND AND A COMPOST GIVEAWAY SECOND HIGHEST PARTICIPATION COUNT. 1,100 FOLKS CAME THROUGH DEPOSITING ALMOST 18 TONS OF ELECTRONIC WASTE AND.

LITHIUM BATTERIES. AND YEAH, YEAH, TOO BAD THAT THEY DIDN'T WAIT FOR THAT EXTRA WEEK.

BUT I'D LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MITCH CASEY WHO HAS BEEN IN OUR SOLID WASTE DIVISION IN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT FOR SEVERAL DECADES NOW, DOES A TREMENDOUS JOB. HE WAS KIND OF THE STAFF LIAISON ON THE PROJECT, AND WE HAD A GREAT PROGRAM OUT THERE.

SO BIG THANK YOU TO HIM. AND I WAS GOING TO ALSO MENTION THE COLLABORATIVE ENFORCEMENT EFFORT FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL WITH THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TEAM FOR, AGAIN, WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH THEM, VERY SUCCESSFUL ENFORCEMENT EFFORT. AND THOSE WILL CONTINUE NOT JUST AT PROSPECT IN PV, BUT ELSEWHERE IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

[02:15:02]

SO BIG, BIG THANKS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR TEAMING UP WITH CHP AGAIN.

AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THOSE IN THE FUTURE.

IS THAT IT? THAT'S IT. OKAY. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REFERRALS TO STAFF.

[Q. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REFERRALS TO STAFF]

OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE. NOTHING FOR TONIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC.

NOTHING THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI. YES, MAYOR.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE REFER A DISCUSSION ABOUT OUR HEDGE ORDINANCE.

WITH THIS. WITH THE REQUEST TO THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO HOW TO REVISE OUR HEDGE ORDINANCE INCLUDING TO CLARIFY AND MAYBE CLARIFY NARROW WHO HAS STANDING TO MAKE A COMPLAINT AND.

ANSWER ALL COMPLAINTS LIKE THAT. JUST THE HEDGE ORDINANCE.

I SECOND THAT. OKAY. BRAD SECONDED BEFORE I COULD, BUT I DID HAVE A QUESTION OF THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE TALKED TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS.

WHEN SHOULD THAT COME BACK, AT LEAST FOR AN INITIAL DISCUSSION? WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? YOU HEARD THE MOTION. SO.

YEAH. JUST, JUST A REMINDER, AS WITH ALL DISCUSSIONS, REFERRALS ARE NOT GOING TO COME BACK WITH SUBSTANTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS.

YOU HAVE TO AGENDIZE THE DISCUSSION TO ULTIMATELY DIRECT JOY'S OFFICE.

MY OFFICE. YOU CAN'T GIVE THAT AS PART OF THE REFERRAL.

WE UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT. WE'RE CERTAINLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE IN THE COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW AND THE ISSUES WITH THE COMPLAINTS.

SO WE'LL REACT TO THAT. BUT IT'S A TWO-STEP PROCESS.

SO YOUR FIRST CONVERSATION IS ABOUT SCOPING. AND THEN EVENTUALLY YOU'RE THEN HAVING THE POLICY CONVERSATION AFTER WE'VE COMPLETED OUR RESEARCH.

SO THE INITIAL SCOPING CONVERSATION COULD HAPPEN AS EARLY AS PROBABLY THE LATTER PART OF JULY.

BUT DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT BEING A POLICY DECISION, NIGHT.

OKAY. AND WHAT KIND OF REPRIEVE CAN WE GET FOR THOSE WHO ARE PANICKING RIGHT NOW? I'VE ALREADY JUST TO BE CLEAR, I DON'T DO THIS OFTEN, BUT I'VE, I'VE DIRECTED THAT ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS CEASE ON THE HEDGE COMPLAINTS WITH THIS POTENTIAL REFERRAL IN MIND. SO THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT OF THE COMPLAINTS AND THE WARN NOTICES AND LETTERS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO THE RESIDENTS AT THIS TIME, PENDING COUNCILS POLICY DIRECTION.

SO THAT'S THE DIRECTION I'VE GIVEN TO PD. GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

THANK YOU, MR. CITY MANAGER. SO. I WOULD ASK THAT YOU EXPAND IT SO WE CAN DISCUSS SCOPE AT THE NEXT MEETING.

BECAUSE SOME I COULD SEE SOMEONE WEAPONIZING ANOTHER ONE OF OUR ORDINANCES.

THIS IS JUST A. THIS IS GOING TO BE A HUGE LIFT.

AND JUST OUR ORDINANCE OUR CODE IN MANY RESPECTS WHEN IT COMES TO THESE TYPES OF THINGS IS STALE IN MANY RESPECTS.

I THINK THIS ORDINANCE WAS PERHAPS LAST DRAFTED IN THE 60S.

IT'S, IT'S THERE'S. SO WE DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN A RABBIT HOLE.

LET'S TACKLE CHALLENGES THAT ARE IN FRONT OF US, MAYBE ONE AT A TIME.

MR. MAYOR I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT BECAUSE COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT AND I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME GOING OVER THIS HEDGE ORDINANCE, CONFERRING WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ABOUT IT.

COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT HAS WORKED UP REVISIONS AS WELL.

SO I'D LIKE TO JUST KEEP IT TO THIS. AND TO THE EXTENT YOU COME UP OR RESIDENTS APPROACH YOU WITH OTHER ISSUES, WE CAN HANDLE THOSE AS THEY COME. I THINK IT'S MORE A PROCESS DISCUSSION BECAUSE RIGHT NOW ANY CODE, MOST OF OUR CODES FOR. GO AHEAD. COUNCIL MEMBER.

NO, I WAS JUST I THINK THAT'S SORT OF THE POINT IS THIS IS LIKE A FIRST STEP.

WE HAVE THIS ORDINANCE. WE'LL LOOK AT IT. WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE SCOPE KIND OF AT THIS POINT, BUT I COULD IMAGINE MAYBE SOMETHING COMES OUT OF THAT THAT COULD APPLY TO.

OKAY. BECAUSE THE NEXT ONE COULD BE. EXACTLY.

PARKWAYS. YEAH. SO LET'S AND SOMEBODY JUST GOES AROUND GOING, OH, THERE'S 57 VIOLATIONS OF PARKWAYS.

RIGHT? AND WITH THE HUGE LIFT AND I HEARD THAT WORD AND YOU DON'T USE IT A LOT, LET'S SCOPE THIS APPROPRIATELY AND SEE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE. I GUESS MY GOAL WOULD BE A STRATEGIC APPROACH WHERE WE CAN GENERICALLY ADDRESS THE PROCESS AND, AND APPLICABILITY VERSUS DISSECTING EACH ORDINANCE INDIVIDUALLY.

AS WE BRING BACK. I CAN ENVISION, AS WE BRING BACK THE DISCUSSION ASSOCIATED WITH CODE CHANGES TO CONTEMPORIZE THAT PROCESS, THOSE THAT STRUCTURE, AS IT GETS DISCUSSED, COULD EASILY BE APPLIED TO OTHER SECTIONS OF OUR CODE.

YEAH, KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE DID WITH THE COMMISSIONS.

THERE WAS A LOT OF STUFF THAT WAS WRITTEN, REWRITTEN AND WRITTEN INDIVIDUALLY AND INDEPENDENTLY THROUGHOUT ALL THE COMMISSIONS.

WE JUST STRIPPED IT UP TO ONE UNIVERSAL. YEAH.

AND I THINK WE COULD GET THERE IF WE. BUT I DO WORRY A LITTLE BIT IF WE BROADEN THE HORIZON BEYOND HEDGES FOR NOW, IT, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF PANDORA'S BOX. BUT I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE SENTIMENT.

[02:20:01]

YES, THAT MAKES SENSE. AND I DO APPLAUD THE MORATORIUM.

I WAS GOING TO BRING THIS UP IF YOU GUYS DIDN'T, BECAUSE I EMPATHIZE WITH THESE PEOPLE.

AND SOMEBODY'S JUST GOING AROUND THE CITY GOING, OH, LOOK, THERE'S A HEDGE. IT'S, IT'S MALICIOUS.

RIGHT? YEAH. GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, IT'S WARRANTED.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE, WE DO NEED TO MAKE THE CHANGE TO THE CODE.

OKAY. BECAUSE THE CODE IS AS WRITTEN. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL FOR? AYE. ANYONE OPPOSED? OKAY. MOTION CARRIES. ANYTHING ELSE COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI? NO, THANK YOU MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT? NO THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND THEY TOOK THE ONE I WAS GOING TO BRING UP. SO THAT'S ALL I HAD.

OKAY. WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN TO.

JUNE 16TH. WELL, I'LL READ THAT OFF. SO JUST MOTION TO ADJOURN.

I'LL READ OFF WHEN WE'RE GOING THROUGH. MOTION TO ADJOURN.

SECOND. OKAY. MOTION AND SECOND. ALL FOR? AYE.

OKAY. WE ARE NOW ADJOURNED. THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE 4:30 FOR THE CLOSED SESSION AND 6:00 FOR THE OPEN SESSION.

TUESDAY, JUNE 16TH, RIGHT HERE IN CITY HALL. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.

THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.
