WE'LL START WITH L.1. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER FISCAL YEAR 2026 2027 PROPOSED BUDGET, THE FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND ASSOCIATED BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS.

WITH THAT WE ARE, I WILL, I WILL REOPEN THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY THAT WAS CONTINUED FROM THE LAST MEETING.

DO YOU NEED A MOTION TO REOPEN? MOTION. MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY. WELL IT'S ALL IT WAS NEVER CLOSED. IT WAS CONTINUED.

WE STILL NEED TO OPEN REOPEN. TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC.

OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION, A SECOND, ALL FOR? AYE. OKAY, WE'RE NOW OPEN.

OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MIKE WITZANSKY, CITY MANAGER.

HAPPY TO PRESENT BRIEFLY, WHAT IS OUR THE BEGINNING OF OUR THIRD AND FINAL HEARING ON OUR OPERATING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGETS? FOR THE 26-27 FISCAL YEAR. I'D LIKE TO START WITH A SERIES OF THANK YOUS.

STEPHANIE AND JACOB, WHO ARE UP HERE FROM OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND THE REST OF STEPHANIE STAFF FOR ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK AND HELPING ASSEMBLE THE, IN PARTICULAR, THE OPERATING BUDGET DOCUMENT THAT I THINK IS MUCH ADVANCED AND IMPROVED FROM OUR PRIOR YEAR RENDITION.

I'D LIKE TO THANK OUR CAPITAL TEAM, ANDY WINJE, JESSE REYES AND ALL THE FOLKS IN ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS FOR THEIR HARD WORK IN PUTTING TOGETHER OUR FIVE YEAR CIP. AGAIN, I THINK AN ITERATIVE PROCESS.

WE ARE SEEING IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT DOCUMENT. WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT DOCUMENT GOING FORWARD. A LOT OF HARD WORK WENT INTO THAT, AND THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A LOT OF HARD WORK.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, OUR DEPARTMENT HEAD TEAM, ALL OF WHOM ARE HERE TONIGHT.

WE HAVE IN TOTAL NOW 50 BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS WITH A FEW REVISIONS ALONG THE WAY.

AND 32 DECISION PACKAGES IN THE DOCUMENT. THOSE DON'T GET PREPARED BY ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL.

THAT'S A TEAM EFFORT. AND I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND BEING RESPONSIVE TO THE VARIOUS QUERIES THAT HAVE COME FORWARD ALONG THE WAY, AND PROVIDING TIMELY INFORMATION, OR AT LEAST AS TIMELY AS WE AS WE CAN PUT IT TOGETHER.

SO WITH THAT, JUST A BRIEF SUMMARY OF WHERE WE ARE.

AS I SAID, THIS IS OUR THIRD AND FINAL HEARING.

THIS IS THE NIGHT WHERE YOU WILL ULTIMATELY ADOPT THE BUDGET.

WE HOPE. QUICK, QUICK RECAP OF THE DOCUMENT ITSELF.

WE BEGAN WITH A LITTLE BIT UNDER $1.4 MILLION IN REMAINING FUNDS THAT WE HAD SET ASIDE AS PART OF OUR MID-YEAR ACTION, ANTICIPATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE 26-27 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET.

OUR CORE OR HISTORIC, IF YOU WILL, REVENUES AND TRANSFERS IN AMOUNT TO A LITTLE OVER $125 MILLION.

OUR EXPENDITURES AND TRANSFERS OUT A LITTLE UNDER $128 MILLION.

OUR DECISION PACKAGES IMPROVE OUR STRUCTURAL BUDGET SIGNIFICANTLY BY JUST ABOUT $2.1 MILLION ON AN ONGOING BASIS.

WE HAVE ONE TIME EXPENDITURES TOTALING A LITTLE OVER $400,000.

ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE A VERY SIGNIFICANT FLEXIBLE HIRING FREEZE RECOMMENDATION THAT IS THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR BALANCING EFFORT HERE THIS FISCAL YEAR THAT WILL SAVE ABOUT $2.9 MILLION IN FUNDS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, AS WE CONTINUE TO TRACK OUR YEAR OVER YEAR UNFUNDED ACCRUED LIABILITY PAYMENT,

[01:20:02]

WHICH FOR THE GENERAL FUND AT LEAST CHECKS IN AT A LITTLE UNDER $3.5 MILLION THIS YEAR.

WHEN YOU ADD ALL THAT TOGETHER, YOU HAVE A PROPOSED BALANCED BUDGET, WHICH WE ARE HAPPY TO DO, AND AGAIN, TO STRESS ITS BALANCE WITHOUT THE UTILIZATION OF RESERVES, WHICH IS WHAT WE RELIED UPON LAST YEAR, HOPING TO SEE SOME GROWTH IN OUR REVENUES TO ALLOW FOR THAT OFFSET.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AS I MENTIONED, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, BIG CHANGE THIS YEAR OVER LAST IS WE ARE ANTICIPATING THE ADDITION OF OUR MEASURE FP FUNDS, OUR $93 MILLION CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN OUR POLICE STATION, OUR POLICE ANNEX, AND OUR TWO FIRE STATIONS, TWO PRIMARY FIRE STATIONS. OBVIOUSLY A VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT OR SERIES OF PROJECTS.

WE'LL HAVE MORE TO REPORT ON THAT. IN FACT, WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO YOU OUR PROGRESSIVE DESIGN BUILDING FIRM, AND THAT ITEM WILL COME TO YOU ON JULY 7TH FOR DISCUSSION.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO TO GET FIRED UP ON THAT IN JULY.

AS MENTIONED, 89 TOTAL RECOMMENDED PROJECTS IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, A LITTLE UNDER $200 MILLION IN TOTAL SPENDING.

JUST A BIT OF A RECAP AS, AS WE COVERED IN DETAIL LAST WEEK THROUGH OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM, WE ANTICIPATE SPENDING A LITTLE UNDER $17 MILLION IN THE 25-26 FISCAL YEAR, COMPLETING 28 PROJECTS AND DESIGNING AND OR PROCURING ANOTHER 25.

SO A PRETTY PRETTY INCREDIBLE YEAR IN TERMS OF VOLUME.

AND WE HOPE TO KEEP THAT UP NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

I MENTIONED 50 BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS IN TOTAL.

WE HAD ONE FINAL ADDITION THAT WE CAUGHT THAT WE HAD A REFERRAL ON IN, I THINK IT WAS MAYBE MARCH THAT WE, WE PICKED BACK UP. IT'S THE EFFECT, IT RELATES TO OUR STREET LANDSCAPING, LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT AND SOME COSTS AND SOME PARTICULAR, I SUPPOSE, OPTIONS FOR, FOR REDUCTION THERE. THAT DISTRICT AT LEAST SHOWS THE HISTORY OF THE SPENDING AND SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE.

AND AS IT RELATES TO THOSE SERVICES, AND THEN WE HAVE SOME REVISIONS TO OUR BUDGET RESPONSE REPORT, NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS ALWAYS PART AND PARCEL TO OUR RECOMMENDED BUDGET ADOPTION AS IT ALLOWS FOR EFFECTIVELY CORRECTIONS AND RETRACTIONS FROM THE DOCUMENT THAT WAS FIRST PRESENTED IN MAY, SO ALL 50 ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU.

THE 50TH IS IN THE BLUE FOLDER MATERIAL THAT YOU RECEIVED THIS EVENING.

LAST SLIDE PLEASE. YOU ALREADY REOPENED THE HEARING.

OBVIOUSLY DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION TONIGHT.

YOU'LL TAKE ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT. OUR STRONG RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU ADOPT YOU RALLY AROUND A MOTION.

I BELIEVE THERE WILL BE TWO THIS EVENING THAT YOU WILL BE RECONCILING.

AND WE HOPE TO INCLUDE, OF COURSE, IN THAT BRR'S 1 AND 1A AND THEN THERE ARE A FEW FOLLOW UP ITEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSED BUDGET WE DON'T TYPICALLY ADOPT. AS PART OF THE ACTION, WE TRAIL OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT FEES, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT ARE SET BY ORDINANCE AS A, AS A NEXT STEP, WE ARE TEED UP AND READY TO BRING TO YOU THE PARKING RATE ORDINANCE FOR FIRST READING, AN INTRODUCTION ON THE ON JULY 7TH, IF THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONAL POLICE FEES THAT ARE PART OF THE FINAL BUDGET MOTION THIS EVENING.

WE WILL BRING THOSE FOR FINAL ACTION ON THE 7TH AS WELL.

CITATIONS AND THE LIKE. THOSE ARE ITEMS THAT WE WILL WE WILL INCLUDE IN THAT AGENDA PACKET THAT EVENING.

EVERYTHING ELSE WAS AS IT IS FEE RELATED, WILL BE PART OF THE NEXT PUBLIC HEARING.

AS YOU DISCUSSED MAYOR. THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE READY AND ARE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WAS IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

SO WITH THAT, WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

WE HAVE THE DEPARTMENT TEAM HERE AT MANY LEVELS, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO RESPOND TO ANY OF YOUR QUERIES.

OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE AND I WORKED ON A BUDGET TOGETHER.

AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M DOING THIS. SO CAN YOU LIGHT UP 1.B, PLEASE? YAY! OKAY, SO ECHOING KIND OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID.

CITY MANAGER WITZANSKY WE ARE APPROACHING THIS BUDGET UNDERSTANDING THAT LAST YEAR WE DID TAKE OUT 300, EXCUSE ME, $3.5 MILLION FROM OUR RESERVES. AND WE ARE CURRENTLY IN A HIRING FREEZE THAT'S ALLOWING US TO BALANCE OUR BUDGET TO THE TUNE OF ONE POINT.

EXCUSE ME, $2.9 MILLION. ALSO REVENUE IS NOT AS STRONG AS EXPECTED.

WE HAVE UPCOMING FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS ON THE HORIZON, LABOR NEGOTIATIONS WITH FOREIGN EMPLOYEE GROUPS.

WE RECENTLY ASKED OUR RESIDENTS TO PASS A BOND FOR $93 MILLION.

BUT WE HAVE OTHER FACILITIES THAT NEED UPGRADES SPECIFICALLY PUBLIC WORKS FACILITIES THAT WERE NOT PART OF THAT.

AND I DON'T INTEND TO ASK THE RESIDENTS FOR ANY MORE MONEY.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO START INVESTING IN.

THIS IS WHERE WE NEED TO START, YOU KNOW, POCKETING SOME MONEY SO THAT WE CAN MEET THOSE NEEDS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LESS DIRE THAN THE ONES OUR POLICE AND FIRE STATIONS ARE

[01:25:09]

FACING. AND THESE ARE JUST YOU KNOW, THIS WAS KIND OF OUR COVER LETTER AS TO HOW WE CAME TO THIS THIS BUDGET.

AND THEN. SO FOR THAT REASON, WE DO NOT VIEW ANY REMAINING FUNDS IN OUR ACCOUNT AS EXTRA MONEY, BUT RATHER PUTTING BACK WHAT WE'VE REPAYING WHAT WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN OUT AND CONTINUING TO FORECAST FOR UPCOMING EXPENSES THAT WE WILL HAVE. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID THIS IS OUR PREPARED 2026-27 ANNUAL BUDGET AND FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN.

WE'LL WORK ON THIS TOGETHER. SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU HAD PROPOSED.

YOU KNOW, THE BEGINNING OF THIS IS, IS THE SAME.

WE'VE ADDED THAT ALL REMAINING GENERAL FUND BALANCE WILL BE ADDED TO THE GENERAL RESERVES TO BEGIN TO REPAY THE $3.5 MILLION THAT WAS PULLED FROM RESERVES LAST YEAR.

GOING DOWN, YOU'LL SEE MUCH OF WHAT YOU ALL HAD ON YOUR PROPOSED BUDGET HERE, THE TWO MSOS FOR RBPD.

AND ALSO EXPECTING ONLY HALF A YEAR REVENUE FROM THAT.

THIS IS THE SAME STREET SWEEPING CITATION INCREASE THAT YOU HAD PROPOSED.

ALSO THE TOWING FEE THAT COUNCILMAN OBAGI AND BEHRENDT HAD PROPOSED.

WE ARE PROPOSING TO INCREASE THE ANNUAL PARKING METER PASS TO $225.

IT MAKES SENSE, SINCE WE ARE RAISING THE RATES OF OUR PARKING METERS, THAT WE WOULD RAISE THE RATES OF THE PARKING METER PASS AS WELL.

AND THIS ALSO IS GOING TO FORECAST THAT WE WILL HAVE FEWER PEOPLE WHO ARE BUYING THEM.

IN THE BRR IT HAD $1,700. CONSERVATIVELY, WE PUT $1,500 IN HERE.

THE BRR 48. DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT? SURE.

THIS IS FOR THE LEASES, ESPECIALLY DOWN IN THE WATERFRONT WHERE THE CITY IS A LANDLORD.

AND MANY OF OUR TENANTS ARE COMMERCIAL TENANTS PAY RENT AS A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR REVENUE.

AND CURRENTLY IN OUR EXISTING AUDIT, WITH THE AGREEMENT, WE HAVE FUNDS TO FUND ONE AUDIT PER YEAR, BUT WE HAVE PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF TENANTS DOWN IN THE WATERFRONT.

SO THIS WILL ALLOW US TO AUDIT MORE OF OUR TENANTS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE RECEIVING THE RENT THAT IS ACTUALLY OWED ON THEIR REVENUES AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE CALCULATIONS ARE CORRECT AND IT'S BASED ON A COST RECOVERY.

SO FROM A BUDGETING STANDPOINT, WE WOULDN'T PAY OUT REVENUE.

AND THE FIRMS WOULD ONLY RECEIVE A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT WE ACTUALLY RECOVER ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT THEY FIND IN THEIR AUDITS.

SO IT SHOULD BE A NET POSITIVE. RIGHT. WE HAVE LINE ITEMS HERE JUST REFERENCING DECISION PACKAGE 3 WHICH IS THE SPECIAL EVENT STREET USAGE FEE.

HERE WE'VE INDICATED THAT AND BRR 8. AND ADDING ON TO THAT IS BRR 40 DESCRIBING SIGNATURE EVENT SUBSIDIES.

OR DID I GET THAT RIGHT? OR IS BRR 40 ASSOCIATED WITH NUMBER BRR 3.

BRR 8 SUPPORTS THE, THE RATIONALE FOR DP3. SO 8 IS THE SUBSIDY.

8 IS THE SUBSIDY. YEAH. THEN SORRY. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT WAS PRESENTED IN BRR 50. THE LAST ONE INDICATES THAT IN PREVIOUS BUDGETS THERE WERE DECISION PACKAGES THAT ADDED ON USUALLY A SIX FIGURE AMOUNT TO OUR TREE TRIMMING CONTRACTS THIS YEAR. YOU REJECTED THAT TO THE TUNE OF $240,000.

TO 41 YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. YOU MEANING THE CITY MANAGER? I DID NOT INCLUDE THAT IN MY PROPOSAL. YES. YOU MEANING THE CITY MANAGER.

AND I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW, WE'RE RECOGNIZING THAT WE'RE TIGHTENING OUR BELTS AND THAT THE GENERAL FUND IS SUBSIDIZING OUR STREET LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE DISTRICT TO OVER.

I THINK IT'S $1.2 MILLION ANNUALLY. WHICH IS UNIQUE BECAUSE WE DON'T DO THIS WITH OTHER THINGS LIKE OUR STREET REPAIR.

WHAT DO I HAVE HERE? THE STREET, RESIDENTIAL STREET REHAB OR THE STREET RECONSTRUCTION.

WE STICK TO WHAT IS GIVEN TO US FOR MEASURE W.

IS IT MEASURE M? M, R. M, R. WHATEVER IT IS THAT WE GET FUNDED FOR, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE FIXING OUR STREETS.

[01:30:05]

BUT WE DON'T DO THAT WITH TREE TRIMMING IN OUR STREET LIGHTING.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION. AND THAT'S PART OF OUR MOTION FURTHER DOWN.

BUT THIS IS A START TO TRIMMING THAT BACK. AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT.

I REALIZE THAT WE CAN'T JUST RIP THE BAND-AID OFF AND THIS WILL HAVE TO BE ROLLED BACK.

BUT I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WORTH ADDRESSING. SO SORRY.

WHAT DO YOU? CAN YOU CLARIFY WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT LINE 31? 31 IS, WAS JUST PART OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET. SO WHAT NORMALLY WE HAVE A DECISION PACKAGE TO FUND ADDITIONAL TREE TRIMMING SERVICES. CITY MANAGER WITZANSKY THIS YEAR DENIED THAT.

SO I'M JUST REPRESENTING THAT WE ARE CUTTING WHAT WE WOULD NORMALLY FUND OR WHAT WE HAVE IN THE PAST, OUR TREE TRIMMING SERVICES. SO THIS IS RECOGNITION.

THIS ISN'T ADJUSTING THE PROPOSED ADJUSTING. NOT ADJUSTING. AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T SEE THE THE BLUE COLUMN IN OUR BUDGET IS FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TRIM $240,000 LESS OF TREES THIS YEAR? WELL WE ARE YES, IN A RESPECT, YES. IT MAY NOT BE $240,000 LESS THAN WHAT WE TRIMMED LAST YEAR.

IT'S $240,000 LESS THAN WHAT WE ANTICIPATED NEEDING FOR THIS PARTICULAR SCHEDULE GRID.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW WE DEPLOY THAT IN OUR CONTRACT STRUCTURE.

BUT TO, TO THE, TO THE POINT. WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE.

WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE. AND WHAT I THINK, YOU KNOW, IS WORTH EMPHASIZING IS THAT THE BUDGET AS PROPOSED CURRENTLY IS ARGUABLY UNDERFUNDED IN, IN AS IT PERTAINS TO TREE TRIMMING SERVICES. AND I THINK THAT'S THE IMPORTANT POINT HERE.

YEAH. WE'RE ALSO. FUNDED TO WHAT WE COLLECT FOR THAT PURPOSE.

NO, IT'S FUNDED TO WHAT WE CAN AFFORD THIS YEAR BASED ON OUR CURRENT LEVEL OF RESOURCES.

SO RATHER THAN SUPPLEMENT THE BUDGET. TREE TRIMMING.

SO WE PAY FOR TREE TRIMMING IN OUR DISTRICT STREET, LAND.

STREET, LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE DISTRICT IS PART OF A TAX ON OUR PROPERTIES.

RIGHT. YES. BUT IT DOESN'T COVER WHAT WE SPEND.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. WE'RE FUNDING WHAT WE GET FROM THE TAXES.

NO, NO. WELL, LET ME STEP BACK A LITTLE FURTHER.

OUR OVERALL. THE STREET LANDSCAPING, LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FUNDS, IN PART OUR OVERALL CITYWIDE TREE TRIMMING CONTRACT.

IT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR, I WANT TO SAY, $120,000 OF THE ANALYZED ANNUALIZED EXPENSE.

THE TOTAL COST OF OF OUR FULL GRID TRIMMING IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT.

SO WE HAVE HISTORICALLY PAID FOR THAT THROUGH REGULAR PUBLIC WORKS AND PARK SERVICES OPERATIONS, TYPICALLY TO THE POINT WE HAVE EVEN FURTHER SUPPLEMENTED THAT BUDGET IN ORDER TO MEET ALL OF OUR CONTRACTUAL DESIRES.

THIS YEAR WE ARE FUNDING IT LESS THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST, AND WE WILL BE TRIMMING FEWER TREES IN THE 26-27 FISCAL YEAR.

HOW DID YOU DERIVE WHAT WE ARE PUTTING INTO TREE TRIMMING? WHAT WE BASICALLY LEFT WHAT'S IN OUR CORE BUDGET FOR BOTH THE LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT AS WELL AS OUR PUBLIC WORKS OPERATIONS? WE DIDN'T PROVIDE A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION AS PART OF THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, SO WE'RE HAVING TO.

SO THERE IS MORE THAN WHAT WE'RE DRAWING IN IN TAX.

YES, ABSOLUTELY THERE IS. YEAH. THE DISTRICT ONLY COVERS TYPICALLY ABOUT A THIRD OR A QUARTER OF THE OVERALL ANNUAL EXPENSE.

THAT'S TAKEN AWAY FROM OTHER PARK MAINTENANCE STUFF WE COULD BE DOING? YEAH. THE TREE TRIMMING CONTRACT IS PART OF OUR OVERALL STREET OPERATIONS AND PARK OPERATIONS.

SO DOES THAT INCLUDE TRIMMING OF TREES IN THE PARKS? YES IT DOES. THE TREE IS ABOUT TO FALL OVER. THAT INCLUDES.

WELL, OUR CONTRACT IS PREVENTATIVE TYPICALLY, EMERGENCY CALL OUTS IS A COMPONENT OF THAT.

SOMETIMES OUR OWN STAFF HAVE TO ADDRESS EMERGENCIES.

IT DEPENDS, BUT ALL TREE TRIMMING IS PART OF OPERATIONS.

YEAH. I HAVE A REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION ON THIS SO WE CAN GET INTO IT LATER.

HOPEFULLY. REMOVAL OF THE REMAINING ONE WEEK OF HOLIDAY FREE PARKING.

AND I KNOW THIS SOUNDS GRINCHY, BUT I MEAN, ESSENTIALLY WE'RE SAYING, ARE WE BORROWING MONEY FROM OUR RESERVES TO HAVE FREE PARKING IN THE, IN THE RIVIERA IN, AT THE PIER? AND I'M JUST NOT COMFORTABLE DOING THAT.

CLARIFICATION ON THAT LAST YEAR'S BRR THAT TALKED ABOUT PARKING.

THAT NUMBER, THERE IS APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH'S WORTH OF FREE PARKING.

OKAY. AT $96,000. THE ONE WEEK ESTIMATE I THINK IS GOING TO BE FAR LESS THAN THAT.

MAYBE WE CAN. QUARTER 25. SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WHY DON'T WE HAVE PD COME UP AND PROVIDE THAT SPECIFIC NUMBER? IF IT IS DIFFERENT. OKAY. CHIEF SPRENGEL WILL PROVIDE THE WHAT'S THE ONE WEEK VALUE?

[01:35:03]

DO WE KNOW STEVE? IT'S. THE ONE WEEK VALUE IS ABOUT $25,000.

OKAY. WE MADE YOU GET OUT OF YOUR SEAT FOR THAT? THAT'S OKAY. IT HAS TO BE ON THE PUBLIC. KEEPS HIM CLOSE BY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO WE ADJUSTED THAT.

IF I. IF YOU DON'T MIND A COMMENT. PLEASE. SINCE YOU'RE HERE.

IT WAS TALKED ABOUT TODAY IN THE RVA BID MEETING.

AND THE RV DOES FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT ONE WEEK ISN'T ENOUGH AND THAT IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN THAT.

THERE WAS A NEW MEMBER OF THE NOT A MEMBER OF THE BOARD, BUT A BUSINESS THE GUM TREE WHO HAS BOTH HERMOSA, MANHATTAN, AND NOW REDONDO. AND SHE WAS SAYING THAT THE FREE PARKING IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR BOTH HERMOSA AND MANHATTAN OVER REDONDO. SO JUST HER COMING IN KNOWING THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ISN'T THE FREE PARKING AND REDONDO SHE THOUGHT THAT THAT WOULD BE A DISADVANTAGE FOR REDONDO. YES I WOULD. YOU CAN SPEAK TO THIS, I JUST MY POSITION IS THAT IT.

I'M NOT COMFORTABLE FUNDING IT IF WE'RE BORROWING MONEY TO DO SO.

SO I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND AND I WOULD LOVE TO.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THE MOMENT THAT WE ARE REINSTATING THE FREE PARKING, EVEN FOR A MONTH.

AND I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THE DINING DECK PROGRAM AND JUST THE OVERALL UTILIZATION RATE OF PARKING IN RIVIERA VILLAGE.

AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK TRADITIONALLY FREE PARKING WAS GIVEN DURING THE HOLIDAYS, IN PART AS AN INCENTIVE LIKE THE GUM TREE.

TENNANT TO INCENTIVIZE SHOPPERS TO COME AND SHOP DURING THOSE WEEKS AND SORT OF A SIGN OF GOODWILL.

THE ISSUE NOW IS THAT WE, EVEN IF WE DIDN'T HAVE FREE PARKING, WE WOULD BE STILL FULL.

AND SO FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT WE'RE GIVING AWAY FREE PARKING, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO GET MORE CUSTOMERS DOWN THERE.

AND THEN SEPARATELY, I KNOW THE, THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE KING HARBOR ASSOCIATION HAVE LEFT, BUT TRADITIONALLY THERE WAS FREE PARKING AT THE WATERFRONT AS WELL.

AND RIGHT NOW THERE'S NONE AT THE WATERFRONT.

AND YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE FREE PARKING AT THE WATERFRONT TO GET MORE TENANTS DOWN THERE, BUT WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET TO OPEN IT UP ACROSS THE CITY FOR A MONTH LIKE WE DID HISTORICALLY.

SO YOU KNOW, I THINK AGAIN, BORROWING FROM LAST YEAR, BORROWING FROM OUR EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ACCOUNT TO GIVE FREE PARKING JUST DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A REASONABLE TRADE. MOVING ON THE CIP ABOUT THE RIVIERA BID OR THE RIVIERA DECORATIVE STRING LIGHTING REPLACEMENT. HERE IN THE PROPOSAL IT WAS COMING OUT OF THE MAJOR FACILITIES REPAIR FUND.

I THINK WE SHOULD BE ASKING THE BID TO FUND THIS, THIS TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT.

IT KIND OF ALIGNS WITH THE PLANTERS AND THE PLANTS THAT THEY PUT AROUND HERE.

THIS IS DECORATIVE LIGHTING. AND TO THE NEEDS THAT WE WERE SPEAKING TO EARLIER, OUR MAJOR FACILITIES REPAIR FUND IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE DEPLETING.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION ON THAT? YEAH. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME OF THE BULBS DOWN IN THE RIVIERA ARE OUT.

DO YOU KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER, ARE THEY OUT BECAUSE OR MR. KLEIN OR ANYBODY. ARE THEY OUT BECAUSE THE BULBS NEED TO BE CHANGED, OR DO THE LIGHTS NEED TO.

THE STRINGS ACTUALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED ALTOGETHER? I THINK MR. KLEIN CAN PROBABLY. YEAH. WELL, HE SPOKE TO THAT.

WE'LL HAVE MIKE COME FORWARD. I MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE STRING LIGHTS ARE DUE FOR REPLACEMENT AT THIS POINT.

THEY'RE REACHING THE END OF THEIR USEFUL LIFE. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

THE STRING LIGHTS ARE COMING TO THE END OF THEIR LIFE.

WE REPLACED THEM GOING ON ABOUT 5 TO 6 YEARS AGO.

THE ADDED PORTION OF THIS IS THAT SOME OF THE CABLES ARE STARTING TO WEAKEN THE STRONG BACKS ON THEM.

SO WE'RE GETTING TO THE LIFE OF THE, THE END OF THE LIFE OF THE STRING LIGHTS.

WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THEM TOGETHER. SOME OF THEM ARE SAGGING AND SOMETIMES WE STRING THEM BACK UP.

BUT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE STARTING TO GO AND THEY PULL APART BECAUSE OF THE WIND, THAT'S THE REASON WHY. COPY.

THANK YOU. AND I MEAN, I THINK NOTE IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE CABLE INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALSO PART OF THE $90,000.

IT'S NOT JUST THE LIGHTS, I WILL ATTEST. I'VE BEEN DOWN IN THE VILLAGE AND FOUND BULBS, YOU KNOW, THAT HAD BROKEN OFF THE STRAND ON THE GROUND.

SO IT IS OLD. IT'S NO QUESTION THAT IT'S PROBABLY DUE, BUT I THINK THIS IS WHAT THE BID IS KIND OF POSITIONED TO DO.

AND IF WE'RE PULLING IT FROM THAT FUND, I MEAN, WE HAVE OTHER AREAS, MAYBE ARTESIA WOULD LIKE DECORATIVE LIGHTS, RIGHT? LIKE THIS. THIS IS KIND OF. IT'S NOT THE YEAR TO PUT IN NEW LIGHTS ON ARTESIA BOULEVARD.

NO QUESTION, NO QUESTION. I'M JUST SAYING. I WOULDN'T PULL IT AWAY FROM AN AREA THAT IS SUCCESSFUL.

ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY. I THINK THEY'RE POSITIONED TOO TO DO THIS BETTER. IF I MAY COMMENT ON THIS ONE.

YEAH. AS WELL STRING LIGHTS WORK SINCE MR. KLEIN WAS AT OUR MEETING THIS MORNING STRING LIGHTS WERE DISCUSSED.

[01:40:01]

THE OWNER OF THE GUM TREE ALSO DID TALK ABOUT THE STRING LIGHTS AND SAYING THAT, THAT IS A MAJOR ADVANTAGE.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE HERMOSA AND MANHATTAN BUSINESS, SHE'S, SHE'S A MEMBER OF THOSE BUSINESS DISTRICTS THAT THEY DEFINITELY ARE JEALOUS OF THAT. $90,000. THERE'S NO WAY THE BID COULD EVER FUND THAT.

IT'S JUST THAT MEANS LIGHTS ARE GOING AWAY. IF YOU IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE. OKAY.

WELL, I THINK THERE'S SOME, SOME WIGGLE ROOM IN THERE.

BUT I WOULD SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, AS WE DEPLETE THE MAJOR FACILITIES REPAIR FUND, WE ALSO MOVE FURTHER AWAY FROM ANY REPAIRS AT THE RBPAC, WHICH IS MASSIVELY IN DEFICIT OF, OF INVESTMENT.

SO EVERYTHING COMES AT A COST AND IT SPEAKS TO OUR PRIORITIES.

ALL RIGHT, SO I HAD ADDED IN HERE THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH ANNEXATION CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.

ONE OF OUR AMAZING LIBRARIANS INFORMED ME THAT NEXT YEAR, SEPTEMBER 2027, WILL BE THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF THE ANNEXATION OF THE MASSIVE. OR THE MAJORITY OF THE TRACK THAT CAME INTO REDONDO.

AND I, I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE IT.

AND I WOULD LOVE TO COLLABORATE WITH THE NRBBA ON THAT AT OR DINE ON ARTESIA.

THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES THERE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD MISS THE CELEBRATION. AND I REALIZE THAT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO FUND THAT THIS YEAR, BUT I WANTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT AND MAYBE QUEUE IT FOR A POTENTIAL DISCUSSION NEXT YEAR.

FOR BRR 42. THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE FARMERS MARKET.

AGAIN, THIS IS IN A TRIAL PHASE CURRENTLY. I THINK THERE'S POTENTIAL THERE, BUT I JUST DON'T.

WE'RE NOT SPENDING GENERAL FUNDS. THIS IS THE THEME OF OUR, OUR BUDGET HERE.

SO I HOPE THAT IT'S SUCCESSFUL AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION IN YEARS OUT.

SAME AS, AS YOUR PROPOSED BUDGET BEFORE ACCEPTING BRR 44.

AND IF THERE'S. ANY POTENTIAL FUNDING IN THE CIP FOR SCHOOL SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY PROGRAM FROM THE CIP PAGE 108. THAT'S JUST ANOTHER OPTION THAT WE SHOULD EXPLORE.

PARKING STUDY UPDATE FOR AVIATION BOULEVARD. ARE THERE OTHER GRANTS THAT WE CAN EXPLORE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO PULL ANY GENERAL FUNDS FOR IT. INCREASE THE POWER WASHING ON THE ESPLANADE. IT WOULD BE NICE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT CAN BE A GENERAL FUND EXPENSE AT THIS, THIS TIME.

BUT I THINK THERE'S A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEEDS FOR THAT ENTIRE FACILITY THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY BE DISCUSSING.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? ON BRR 19. THAT'S THE LANDSCAPING ON THE CORNER OF SOUTH JUANITA AND CAMINO REAL THERE AT THE CORNER OVER THE TENNIS COURTS.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I HAD ASKED FOR BRR ON.

IT'S A DRY PATCH OF DIRT THAT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR MANY YEARS.

AND THE NEIGHBORS DON'T LIKE IT AND WANTED SOMETHING DONE WITH THE BRR CAME BACK AND TO ADD THE LANDSCAPING PLUS THE ABILITY TO WATER THE LANDSCAPING, IT WOULD COST $12,000.

AND I THINK FOR A 200 SQUARE FOOT PATCH OF DIRT JUST IN THIS BUDGET ENVIRONMENT, THAT.

THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO DO THAT. SO WE DECIDED TO STRIKE THAT ONE OUT OF THE OUT OF THE BUDGET.

I MEAN, THE THEMES FOR ALSO THE OTHER TWO BRR 29 AND, AND 35 JUST GENERAL FUNDS AT THIS TIME ARE JUST NOT AVAILABLE. AND TO BRR 41 I KNOW THE MAYOR'S BEEN WORKING ON THIS, BUT WE WOULD APPROVE IT WITH A NO INCREASED COST BY AMENDING WILDERNESS PARK OPERATING HOURS TO STAFF TWO PARK ATTENDANTS DURING PEAK HOURS.

SO HOWEVER, THAT CAN BE DONE. I THINK THERE'S SOME DISCUSSIONS GOING ON AND APPRECIATE YOU ENGAGING.

REDUCING HOURS AND DAYS VERSUS TAKING MONEY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME OUT AT MY COMMUNITY MEETING AT WILDERNESS PARK OVER THE WEEKEND WAS AGAIN, PROTECTING THE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE IN WILDERNESS PARK.

[01:45:04]

WE HAD THE RIBBON CUTTING A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FOR THE LOWER POND.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE WAY IT'S SHAPED. YOU CAN'T HAVE SOMEONE AT THE ENTRANCE AND ALSO AT THE LOWER POND TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE AREN'T.

WE HEARD STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING IN THE WATER, THROWING THINGS IN THE WATER.

ON THE SMALL CREEK FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM THERE, DAMMING UP THE, THE FLOW OF WATER.

SO THERE'S ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT ARE GOING THAT WE NEED TO DO TO PROTECT IT.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE NEED AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE THERE TO PROTECT OUR INVESTMENT THAT WE MADE IN THE WILDERNESS PARK.

THE NEXT SECTION ADDRESSES OUR SUBDIVISION PARK TRUST FUNDS.

OTHERWISE KNOWN AS QUIMBY. WE JUST MADE A NOTE HERE THAT THERE IS A $3 MILLION INVESTMENT FROM THIS ACCOUNT TO SEASIDE LAGOON.

AND THE REQUESTS FOR THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BIKE PATH ARE ALSO IN HERE.

WE NOTED THAT THE QUIMBY FUNDS FOR PICKLEBALL, THERE WAS $500,000 PROPOSED IN THE CIP BUDGET FOR THAT FACILITY ALREADY. SO WE STRUCK THAT PART OF IT.

BUT YOU'LL NOTE THAT WE ADDED IT BACK TO FUND THE FENCING AT PERRY PARK ENTIRELY.

SO THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN GET DONE THIS YEAR.

I THINK THE PICKLEBALL FACILITY IS, IS GOING TO TAKE A BIT.

I MEAN, IT'S A, IT'S A LONGER DISCUSSION. THERE'S SEVERAL STAGES AND I DON'T THINK THAT WE'LL BE SPENDING ALL OF THAT MONEY THIS YEAR.

BUT THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WE COULD GET DONE.

AND THE WHEELCHAIR LIFT AT THE TEEN CENTER INCLUDED IN THIS.

WILDERNESS PARK, THE ALL TERRAIN WHEELCHAIR. THE DISCUSSION WAS TO USE THE CURRENT CIP MONEY THAT'S ALREADY DEDICATED THERE.

AND THEN I HAVE IN HERE THE REMAINING QUIMBY FUNDS.

WE WERE UNDER BUDGET AT THE ALL-ABILITIES PLAY STRUCTURE AT FRANKLIN PARK BY $180,000.

THAT'S RETURNING BACK TO THE SUBDIVISION PARK TRUST.

DID I GET THAT RIGHT? SUBDIVISION TRUST FUNDS.

SO THAT WILL REPLENISH THAT ACCOUNT. FUNDING 4 BENCHES AND THE NECESSARY PADS AND THE COORDINATION THAT'S NECESSARY.

AND THERE'S A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEA THAT'S ALL IN THERE.

THE REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT FOR THAT, THAT IS NEEDED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR REGIONAL PARKS IS IN THERE.

REPLACING THE FENCING AT ALTA VISTA ALONG JUANITA IS IN HERE AND THEN HERE WITH THE REMAINING FUNDS THAT ARE LEFT IN THE QUIMBY ACCOUNT TO ADD THIS BACK TO THE PICKLEBALL FACILITY AT AVIATION PARK.

SO THAT'S $66,137 GOING BACK TO PICKLEBALL. SO REALLY, IT WAS A NET LOSS OF.

30. 34,000. YEAH. AND THEN FOR THE JOHN PARSONS ART FUND.

I HAD SOME DIFFICULTY WITH THIS. WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT AS WE TALK ABOUT THESE PROJECTS, PUTTING A NUMBER ON IT.

I THINK IS A GOOD BOUNDARY, BUT I THINK THE DISCUSSION IS THEN, ARE WE LIMITING IT TO THAT AMOUNT OR IS THAT JUST A SUGGESTED AMOUNT? OR DO WE ASK THE ART COMMISSION TO COME UP WITH SOME, SOME IDEAS AND THEN, AND THEN WE FURTHER BUDGET THAT FOR AND WHY I HAD ISSUE WITH COMING UP WITH A NUMBER, THE PROJECT THAT I HAD ADDED HERE, THE LILIENTHAL MEDIAN ART PROJECT, THAT SPACE IS A VERY LONG STRETCH OF ROAD. IT'S ACTUALLY TWO BLOCKS.

I COULDN'T POSSIBLY THINK OF A NUMBER THAT THAT WOULD BE WHETHER IT'S SCULPTURES OR MOSAIC TILES OR PAINTINGS.

I'M NOT AN ARTIST. AND SO WHILE I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THIS TO THE QUEUE FOR THE ART COMMISSION, I THINK PUTTING A NUMBER IS PROBABLY NOT MY BEST STRENGTH AT THIS POINT, BUT I DO WANT TO NOTE SOMETHING THAT YOU HAD SAID.

COUNCILMAN OBAGI. I THINK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ART.

OH NO, I'M SORRY. WHERE IS. IS RON MAROKO STILL HERE? NO. HE HAS SOME OPTIONS FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS REFERRED TO THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION.

BUT I THINK AS WE SEND PROJECTS, SPECIFICALLY ART TO THE COMMISSION, WHOEVER THAT REFERRING COUNCIL MEMBER OR IF IT'S TO

[01:50:02]

SEND IN WRITING OR GIVE SOME DIRECTION TO THE COMMISSION SO THAT THEY HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE EXPECTATION OR THE BOUNDARIES THAT WE ARE.

PLACING ON THAT THAT PROJECT AND THEN RECEIVING THEIR INPUT FROM THAT LASTLY, THIS MONEY THAT IS IN THE GENERAL FUND OF $600,000 OR SO WOULD BE THE GENERAL RESERVE REPAYMENT.

THAT'S UPDATED WITH THE CHANGE YOU MADE TO THE. YES. REVENUE FROM THE.

YES. PARKING. YEAH. SO AND THEN WE HAVE SOME AGENDA DISCUSSIONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE.

ONE OF THEM REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ANNUAL PROCESS TO EVALUATE THE CITY'S CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM, INCLUDING EXISTING LOCATIONS, NEW REQUESTS, AND THE PROCESS TO SELECT THE LOCATIONS IN RESPONSE TO THE CHANGING COMMUNITY NEEDS.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ENGAGED IN THIS, BUT WE NEED TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD NEXT CIP SHELTER EXPANSION.

SOME OF THESE ARE ALREADY IN THE QUEUE. I, WE JUST WANTED TO LIST THEM OUT HERE SO THAT WE'RE CLEAR ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO DISCUSS VEHICLE REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE DISCUSSION ABOUT POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE SPECIAL EVENT, BUSINESS, LICENSING, MUNICIPAL CODE AND PROCESS.

AND IF THIS ISN'T CLEAR AT ANY POINT, JUST. WE FOLLOW.

PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC DISCUSSION ABOUT THE VISION AND SCOPE OF THE PICKLEBALL FACILITY AND INCLUDING PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS CONSIDERATION FOR NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS, NORTHROP GRUMMAN, YOU KNOW, ANY ISSUES THAT THEY MAY HAVE WITH THIS. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY FORWARDING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ONTO THE COUNCIL SO WE CAN DISCUSS THAT AS WELL. CAN I ASK A QUESTION ON THAT? YEAH.

MAYBE THIS MORE FOR CITY MANAGER WITZANSKY, BUT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PICKLEBALL FACILITY AT AVIATION PARK, COULD WE BUILD IT AND THEN LICENSE NAMING RIGHTS, YOU KNOW, FOR FIVE YEARS TO A CORPORATION SO THAT THEY PAY THE CITY OR THE SUBDIVISION TRUST FUND JUST TO PUT THEIR NAME ON IT? SURE.

YEAH. IF WE FOUND A. PUBLIC AGENCY ALLOWED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YEAH. YOU CAN LICENSE PUBLICLY OWNED ASSETS. YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT NOT HAVE A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AT THIS POINT, BUT MAYBE LATER IT COULD BECOME THE IMPULSE AVIATION, YOU KNOW, AVIATION PICKLEBALL COURTS.

YEAH. I MEAN, THERE WAS A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO MARKET THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER FOR NAMING RIGHTS, AND WE DIDN'T GET VERY FAR, BUT WE TRIED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

BUT YEAH, THAT, THAT POSSIBILITY EXISTS. OKAY.

OKAY. THANKS. ANOTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT POTENTIAL FACILITY USE POLICIES, INCLUDING FEE WAIVERS, SUBSIDIES, PRACTICES FOR RECREATION PROGRAMS, YOUTH ACTIVITIES, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND PUBLIC USES.

SO THIS IS ABOUT BRR 34. IT'S REALLY TO EVALUATE OUR OPERATING OPERATING COSTS.

AND WE SUBSIDIZE A LOT OF YOUTH ACTIVITIES. AND I THINK IT'S AMAZING.

I WOULD LOVE FOR THE PUBLIC TO RECOGNIZE THIS, BUT ALSO IF, IF SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES, LET'S SAY CLUB.

CLUB ORGANIZATIONS ARE USING, LET'S SAY SOME OF THESE FIELDS, WHETHER IT'S SOFTBALL, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL, BUT THEY ARE, THEY'RE A CLUB THAT'S COLLECTING FEES.

I THINK WE SHOULD BE PART OF THAT. SO THAT IS KIND OF THE GOAL OF THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THESE SPACES.

AND IS IT THE INTENDED USE THAT WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH? AND JUST TO THAT TO THAT END, TALKING ABOUT OUR FACILITIES AS WELL, ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT CAME UP AT WILDERNESS PARK THIS WEEKEND, WHERE THERE WERE SEVERAL CAMPS, SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE USERS WHO CHARGE FOR THEIR ACTIVITIES USING THE PARKS, NOT TAKING CARE OF IT, BUT NOT ALSO PLAYING ACCORDING TO THE RULES IN TERMS OF GETTING PERMITS FROM THE CITY AND THAT SORT OF THING.

SO I THINK JUST EVALUATING HOW WHO USES IT, WHAT WE SUBSIDIZE AND WHO GETS TO USE IT FOR WHAT PRICE IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON.

YEAH. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT CLUB, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT KIND OF CLUB AT WILDERNESS PARK, OR IS AYSO CONSIDERED A CLUB OR IS IT? YEAH. TRAVEL SOCCER IS A CLUB OR? ARE YOU DIFFERENTIATING THEM? I THINK DIFFERENTIATION OF WHERE WE'RE COMFORTABLE BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS A ROLE FOR THE CITY TO SUBSIDIZE AMATEUR SPORTS, YOUTH SPORTS. BUT WHEN YOU GET INTO CLUB, IT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A FOR PROFIT.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU WHAT YOU MEANT BY CLUB.

YEAH. AND AGAIN, THAT'S THE DISCUSSION. YEAH. WE HAVE EXAMPLES OF THIS IN OUR FEE STRUCTURES CURRENTLY, BUT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN REVISITED IN A LONG TIME. AND IT'S NOT UNLIKE

[01:55:02]

THE CONVERSATION WE'VE HAD RECENTLY HERE WITH THE STREET CLOSURE KIND OF SPECIAL EVENT USE FEE, YOU KNOW, YOU START TO THINK THROUGH TEARS, RIGHT? ARE THE CLUB SPORTS CHARGE MORE THAN AYSO DOES AS AN EXAMPLE? OR REDONDO BEACH YOUTH BASKETBALL MIGHT CHARGE LESS THAN A COMPETITIVE, ACTIVE BASKETBALL CLUB THAT'S TOURING, YOU KNOW, THE STATE OR THE NATION. SO HOW YOU APPLY THOSE FEES IS, IS WELL WITHIN YOUR AUTHORITY AND WE CAN COME BACK WITH BASICALLY KIND OF A REVENUE FACILITY USE POLICY THAT TALKS ABOUT SUBSIDY.

IT'S NOT A, NOT AN UNCOMMON EXERCISE FOR A RECREATION PROGRAM.

YEAH. AND I THINK IT'S GOOD FOR US TO UNDERSTAND, BUT ALSO THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT WE'RE OFFERING THESE SPACES.

SHOULD THE DECISION BE THAT WE CONTINUE TO OFFER THESE SPACES FOR, YOU KNOW, AMATEUR YOUTH SPORTS, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE DO AND WE SHOULD GET CREDIT FOR IT.

IF NOTHING ELSE. IF NOTHING ELSE, BE RECOGNIZED FOR WHAT WE DO, RIGHT? YEAH. AND THEN I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE EXPECTATIONS OF HOW WE WILL, I MEAN, AT THIS POINT, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'VE, WE'VE LEARNED THE VALUE OF OUR WATERFRONT AND WE ARE GETTING BETTER AT USING THAT SPACE FOR LARGE SCALE EVENTS. AND WE SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF A WEAKER, EXCUSE ME, A VAPOR WAKE TEAM IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT WE DID LOSE RECENTLY.

AND THEN I KNOW THIS IS IN THE QUEUE. SO THIS WAS, I GUESS, REDUNDANT, BUT A DISCUSSION ABOUT RENAMING FACILITIES, A POLICY DISCUSSION ON THAT. I WOULD, IF I CAN HIJACK THAT.

YEAH PLEASE. I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT WE MAKE A MORE URGENT EXCEPTION TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE NAME THE NEW PARK AT HERONDO BEFORE WE HAVE THE GRAND OPENING AT THE NEXT COUNCIL SESSION. I THINK THERE'S A PRETTY CLEAR NAME WE SHOULD APPLY TO THAT.

I THINK YOU PROBABLY ALL KNOW WHAT I THINK. THERE WAS A SUBCOMMITTEE REFERRAL THAT YOU MIGHT ALL RECALL TO TRY TO CREATE A MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE TO DEVELOP A POLICY.

YEAH I JUST WANT TO JUMP START IT FOR THAT ONE PART. RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S VERY CLEAR. I THINK NO MATTER WHAT POLICY WE COME UP WITH.

I DID PROMISE A POLICY. I HAVE CIRCULATED A POLICY SITTING WITH THE CITY MANAGER, AND I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT GONNA LOOK AT IT, AND NOBODY HAS PROVIDED ANY FEEDBACK ON IT. WE HAVE NOT.

I'VE DONE MY HOMEWORK. SO I GUESS. YES, I CAN, I CAN ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI DID HIS PART.

THE BALL IS IN STAFF'S COURT, AND IF THERE'S A DESIRE TO TRY TO TEST THE POLICY A TOUCH OR HELP DEVELOP IT ON THE HERONDO STREET EXERCISE, WE CAN. WE ALSO OWE THE COUNCIL A DISCUSSION FOR THE PERRY PARK TEEN CENTER AND THE PARKETTE, AS WELL. AND I DO KNOW THAT THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT WAS WORKING ON A POLICY.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN RECONCILE THE DRAFT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM COUNCILMAN OBAGI AND TRY TO GET THAT SET.

TO HERONDO. WE'RE ABOUT TO DO A GRAND OPENING RIBBON CUTTING.

THAT ONE'S COMING UP PRETTY QUICKLY. DO THAT AND THEN COME UP WITH THE NAME. YEAH. NAME AFTERWARDS, I THINK. WE MAY HAVE TO DO THAT ONE MUCH LIKE WE DID OUR LAST RENAMING, WHICH WAS GATEWAY PARKETTE, WHERE ORIGINALLY IT WAS SORT OF KNOWN COLLOQUIALLY AS HERONDO PARKETTE.

THEN EVENTUALLY THE COUNCIL BY RESOLUTION NAMED IT GATEWAY PARKETTE.

WE DID THAT THROUGH PROVIDING A STAFF REPORT WITH A FEW OPTIONS.

THE COUNCIL RALLIED AROUND GATEWAY. SO WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.

WE CAN DO IT IN A BRIDGED FASHION, OR WE CAN TALK MORE LONG TERM POLICY.

WHAT SORT OF TERMS? IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DO.

I'D LIKE TO SEE IT EXPEDITED, IF YOU GUYS DON'T MIND ADDING IT TO YOUR MOTION.

JUST THAT ONE PART. JUST THAT ONE. RIGHT. YEAH.

THE LONG TERM DISCUSSION ON POLICY. BUT FOR THAT PARK, YOU KNOW.

AND WE CAN AND WE CAN DO BOTH. WE CAN PROVIDE DRAFT OPTIONS OF THE POLICY.

WE CAN. AND THEN WE CAN SPECIFICALLY HAVE THE COUNCIL GIVE DIRECTION ON HERONDO IF THAT'S THE WILL OF THE GROUP.

I DO WANT TO REVIEW COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI'S PROSE THAT HE SUBMITTED TO YOU.

SO IF WE. YEAH. SO WE'LL DO BOTH. THERE'S A GOLDEN TICKET IN THERE.

OKAY. TO WILLY WONKA? YEAH. TO NAME SOMETHING IN THE CITY.

AND THEN WE JUST MADE SOME NOTES OR REQUESTS FOR FUTURE BUDGET PREPARATIONS.

AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD TIME TO NOTE IT AND MAYBE COME BACK TO IT FOR NEXT YEAR.

LIKE THE ONGOING MONITORING NEEDED FOR DOMINGUEZ PARK GOING FORWARD.

THE CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY FOR THE ANNEXATION OF NORTH REDONDO.

AND THEN A REQUEST TO IMPLEMENT INCLUDE A REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE FOR ALL EQUIPMENT.

SO WHETHER THAT'S PPE, IT EQUIPMENT SO THAT WHEN WE GET A DECISION PACKAGE, WE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEEN PURCHASED IN THE PAST.

[02:00:07]

YOU KNOW, ARE WE YOU KNOW, IS IT A SPIKE? JUST JUST UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST AND WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS WILL BE OR OBLIGATIONS WILL BE IN THE FUTURE IS JUST HELPFUL FOR MY PERSPECTIVE. AND THEN CONTINUE TO EXPAND THE INFORMATION FOR THE CIP TO INCLUDE THE MULTI YEAR SCHEDULING.

I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, JUST MAKING A NOTE HERE.

INCLUDE A DECISION PACKAGE TO INCREASE THE SQUARE FOOT FEE FOR DINING DECKS IN CITY OWNED PARKING SPACES.

THE FEE HAS REMAINED THE SAME SINCE 2022. SO THAT'S A REQUEST OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE INCLUDED.

BUT THAT'S PART OF OUR MOTION. AND THEN ALSO FORECASTING A NEED FOR THE NEXT RHNA CYCLE AND THE BUDGET ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

AND I JUST HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION FOR COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER.

WITH THE DINING DECKS, I BELIEVE I HEARD THAT THE RVA HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DINING DECK PROGRAM AND THE FEES THAT I KNOW THAT THEY COVER REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE AND COLLECTION. SO I MEAN, WE WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, SHOULD TALK TO THEM AND FIND OUT, I GUESS, WHAT THEIR RESULTS WERE AND SORT OF HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER ON THOSE.

YEAH. THERE'S THE INTENTION OF HAVING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY ON THE, ON THE PROGRAM.

THAT WOULD BE A FINE TIME FOR THEM TO OR FOR SOME, YOU KNOW, FOR THE CITY TO BRING UP CHANGES OF FEES.

BUT RIGHT NOW THE RVA REMITS FEES FOR ALL THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE DINING DECK, WHETHER THEY ARE PAID OR NOT FOR BY A RESTAURANT. IF THAT RESTAURANT DOESN'T PAY, THERE'S NOTHING THE RVA CAN DO.

SO THERE ARE DISCUSSIONS AS TO HOW CAN THE CITY HELP WITH THAT? WHETHER THE CITY COLLECT THE MONEY, WHETHER THE RVA COLLECT THE MONEY, AND THE CITY HAS SOME TEETH THAT HELPS ENFORCE THINGS.

SO ALL THAT IS UP FOR DISCUSSION. AND OBVIOUSLY IF THE RATE HASN'T CHANGED SINCE IT STARTED.

I THINK THAT'S A VALID THING TO TALK ABOUT IS WHAT THAT NUMBER COULD BE.

OKAY. YEAH. I THINK THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO HELP, ESPECIALLY WITH THE COLLECTIONS, IF PEOPLE AREN'T PAYING AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP THEM.

YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE. OKAY. OKAY. WELL, THAT IS OUR PROPOSED BUDGET.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. CAN I ASK A QUESTION? YES. LET ME LET ME JUMP IN FIRST. I HAVE A COUPLE OF REQUESTS. FIRST, SINCE WE DIDN'T GET ALL THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULES THIS WEEK.

I WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN HERE SINCE WE HAVE OTHER BRR'S RELATED TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE, A MINIMUM OF $2 PER FOOT PER DAY ADDED FOR PRIVATE VESSELS DOCKING AT THE HARBOR PATROL DOCKS.

WE'VE HAD THAT HAPPEN HAPPENED RECENTLY AND THE.

AND THE PERSON PAID NOTHING AND THERE WAS NO INCENTIVE TO GET HIM OUT OF THE.

AT THE HARBOR? AT THE HARBOR PATROL DOCK. SHOULD THAT JUST BE.

I TALKED THAT WITH THE CHIEF. HERE, WE HAVE. PUT THAT UP.

OKAY. AND THEN SECOND WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE NAMING RIGHT.

THE NAMING OF THE PARK ALONG HERONDO. SECOND, I WOULD LIKE TO DO BRR 26 WITH DIRECTION TO GO A WILDERNESS PARK DESIGNATE WILDERNESS PARK AS A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK AT NO COST FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

AS A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK? YES. OKAY. YES.

AND I TALKED WITH DIRECTOR WIENER ON THAT. AND THE BURDEN OVERHEAD BURDEN WITH ADMINISTERING THAT IS MUCH LOWER THAN STATE OR FEDERAL. SO WE CAN ADD THAT INTO THE FUNDS AVAILABLE AT WILDERNESS.

NO, I'M SAYING ZERO COST. DESIGNATING IT LOCAL.

YEAH. OKAY. RIGHT. JUST LOCALLY HERE. NOT ANY STATE APPLICATIONS.

BRR 26. OKAY, I WILL ADD THAT BELOW IN OUR SECTION.

BUT FOR THIS, WHAT WAS THE FEE THAT YOU WANTED? THE BOAT? $2 PER DAY, $2 MINIMUM. MINIMUM FOR A PRIVATE VESSEL DOCKING AT THE HARBOR PATROL DOCKS.

AND JUST A QUICK QUESTION. IS THAT SIMILAR TO OTHER CHARGES OR.

SO WHERE I GOT THAT FROM WAS I CALLED UP CAMERON FROM PORT ROYAL AND I SAID, MINIMUM, THAT'S WHAT THEY CHARGE PER DAY FOR A TRANSIENT COMING IN AND BORROWING A DOCK FOR A DAY. FOR A DAY. OKAY. AND MAYBE WE SHOULD CHARGE MORE TO DISINCENTIVIZE THEM FROM USING A PUBLIC.

AND WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT I THINK THAT'S THE IMPORTANT PHRASE, AS THE MAYOR SAID, IS MINIMUM.

WE WOULD COME BACK PROBABLY WITH A RECOMMENDATION AND SOME OPTIONS WHEN WE BRING IT BACK AS PART OF THE FEE SCHEDULE FOLLOW UP.

OKAY. AND THAT WAS DISCUSSED WITH THE FIRE CHIEF, AND HE WAS SUPPORTIVE OF IT TOO.

IN FACT, IT WAS HIS IDEA. OKAY. AND I MEAN, WE'LL DISCUSS.

BUT IS WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM THAT SOMEONE STAYED TOO LONG? THEY ACTUALLY HAD THEIR WHOLE BOAT REPAIR DONE ON OUR DOCK.

YEAH. THEY WERE. YEAH. THEY WERE IN DISTRESS.

THEY USED THE DOCK BECAUSE IT WAS OPEN. OBVIOUSLY WHEN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE SAFETY FIRST.

AND AND IF WE DON'T HAVE A STRUCTURE IN PLACE TO CHARGE, IT'S HARD FOR US TO ASK FOR RESTITUTION SO.

[02:05:03]

OKAY, THE GUY WAS VERY NICE, BUT WE HAD NO MEANS TO COLLECT FROM THEM.

OKAY. OKAY. ACTUALLY, IF YOU HAVE A QUICK ONE, BECAUSE COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT HAND IS UP.

YES. JUST A QUESTION ON THIS MOTION. IF WE GO UP TO THE ALTA VISTA PARK FENCE FUNDING I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A QUESTION FOR COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER, CASTLE OR KALUDEROVIC, BUT HOW DID YOU CHOOSE THAT PORTION OF THE FENCE AT ALTA VISTA? IS IT IN DIRE? IT IS IN DIRE. YEAH. IT'S IN BAD SHAPE.

I ACTUALLY HAVE PICTURES OF IT. IF YOU WANT, I CAN THROW THEM UP.

BUT THE FENCE IS. THE CROSSBARS ON IT ARE LITERALLY BROKEN AND HANGING.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF PLACES WHERE THE FENCE IS RIPPED. WHAT'S THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT YOU ALLOCATED FOR THAT? 40.

I THINK IT'S $42,000. $45,000. YEAH. 45. IT'S A VERY LONG STRETCH. THAT'S WHERE KIDS WALK TO SCHOOL. THAT'S WHERE FAMILIES GO DOWN.

45. TO AYSO AND SOFTBALL. IF YOU REMEMBER THE PICKLEBALL COURT THERE AT ALTA VISTA.

THIS IS THAT FENCE ABOVE IT THAT RUNS THE FULL LENGTH.

SO IT'S MORE IT'S ALMOST A BLOCK LONG. WHAT LINE IS IT HERE? OKAY. THE ALTA VISTA FENCE? LINE, IS IT? IT'S RIGHT HERE.

85. 85. COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC. DID YOU NOT FIND YOUR HERITAGE COURT BENCHES? I DID, YEAH. THAT'S A GOOD SHOT. OKAY. WELL, YEAH, THAT'S.

THAT IS IN DIRE NEED. GRANTED, THAT'S THE WORST PART OF IT.

BUT THERE'S OTHER PLACES WHERE IT IS BENT AND.

WHAT. HOW DID YOU FUND THAT IN? $38,000. OKAY.

FIRST TIME THAT'S WORKED. I THINK THAT ITEM IS IN A BRR, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.

BRR 22. THE ALTA VISTA WAS BRR 22? NO HERITAGE COURT.

OH, RIGHT. YEAH. BRR 35 ALTA VISTA. LET'S SEE.

FENCING ITEM. IT'S 30. BRR 30. BRR 33. ON LINE ITEMS THERE ON BRR 30.

OKAY. OKAY. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. OKAY.

COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT. THANK YOU MAYOR. AND THANK YOU TO COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE, COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC FOR PUTTING THIS UP AND, AND GOING THROUGH IT. I THINK THAT I THINK THAT WAS HELPFUL TO SEE IN HERE.

AND THE CLARITY. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARITY AND A NICE FORMAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT. AS HAS BEEN SAID FROM DAY ONE THIS YEAR IS A CHALLENGING YEAR FROM A BUDGET STANDPOINT AND THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

WE'VE ALL ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THOUGH THAT OUR RESIDENTS AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE EXPECT THAT WE DO IN ANY BUDGET YEAR. PUBLIC SAFETY TAKING CARE OF OUR REGIONAL PARKS, OUR OPEN SPACE.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THAT BEAUTIFICATION AND NOT LETTING THINGS FALL INTO DISREPAIR AND A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR RESIDENTS LIVING IN THIS CITY AND IS.

AND OUR REASONS WHY FOLKS COME HERE TO WORK, RECREATE AND CALL IT HOME.

AND I'M GOING TO ALLOW COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI IN A MOMENT TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THOSE ITEMS, AND YOU'LL SEE THEM IN THE BUDGET, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.

A FEW THINGS THAT JUMPED OUT DURING THE ITEMS THAT WERE PUT UP A MOMENT AGO.

RIVIERA VILLAGE. AND I'LL JUST GO IN THE ORDER THEY APPEARED.

I MEAN, RIVIERA VILLAGE IS A FLAGSHIP COMMERCIAL DISTRICT OF THE CITY.

WE KNOW THAT, I HEAR IT. WE BROUGHT IN A OUTSIDE CONSULTANT, AN ECONOMIC EXPERT, AND THEY SAID, RIVIERA VILLAGE BEAUTIFUL. SO I'M NOT COMFORTABLE KIND OF SACRIFICING THAT GEM THAT WE HAVE THERE.

AND OUR RESIDENTS DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. AND IT'S REALLY A MODEL.

I MEAN, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE WANT TO SEE ALL OVER THE CITY IN A PARTICULAR NORTH CENTRAL, SOUTH REDONDO. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT, FOR EXAMPLE, TAKING AWAY THAT ONE WEEK OF RVA HOLIDAY PARKING, I MEAN, WE'VE CHISELED AWAY AT THAT YEAR OVER YEAR AND YOU KNOW, UNFAIR IS NOT THE RIGHT WORD.

I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER MENTIONED THAT'S IMPORTANT TO THE FOLKS WORKING IN THAT DISTRICT WHO HAVE BUSINESSES THAT THEY'VE PUT INTO THIS DISTRICT,

[02:10:06]

NOT MANHATTAN BEACH. THEY CAME HERE. AND SO I THINK IT WOULD BE IMPRUDENT TO SACRIFICE THAT AND TO REMOVE THAT ONE WEEK OF FREE HOLIDAY PARKING THAT WE'VE INCLUDED THERE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE REASONS WE HEARD ABOUT RVA DECORATIVE STRING LIGHT REPLACEMENT.

YOU KNOW, IS THE BID SUCCESSFUL? YOU KNOW, YES, BUT THEY DO SO MUCH ALREADY IN THE VILLAGE, WITH ALL OF THE BEAUTIFICATION AND REINVESTMENT AND THE TIME THAT THEY SPEND IN KEEPING THAT PLACE, REALLY THE HEARTBEAT OF THE CITY FROM A COMMERCIAL AND CULTURAL PLACE.

AND IT SEEMS KIND OF UNFAIR TO SAY AT LEAST IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE YOU KNOW, $90,000, JUST EAT IT, BID RVA SO I WOULDN'T WANT TO TAKE THAT OUT BECAUSE I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.

AND WE'VE HEARD FROM OTHERS ABOUT THIS. TO KEEP THAT DECORATIVE STRING LIGHT, IT'S REACHED THE END OF LIGHT.

LET'S NOT TRY TO DROP IT ON THE BID WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT.

AND NOW WE HAVE A DECREPIT RVA AND EVERYTHING GOES HOPEFULLY NOT DOWNHILL FROM THERE.

SO I THINK THAT SHOULD STAY IN. POWER WASHING ON THE ESPLANADE.

I MEAN, WE'VE HEARD IT AND THE MAYOR HAS SPOKEN TO IT.

IT GETS A LOT OF USE. YOU KNOW, DOES IT SAVE A FEW BUCKS TO NOT DO IT? YES. BUT IT'D BE PRETTY IMPRUDENT TO HAVE OUR ESPLANADE WHERE PEOPLE ARE CLAMORING TO WALK IT, TO RENT IT, TO USE IT. THE ONLY PLACE WHERE YOU CAN WALK A DOG.

YEAH, IT REALLY IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU COULD WALK A DOG.

IT'S A PLACE THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE STRIVED TO KEEP BEAUTIFUL.

WE TRY TO KEEP THE ESPLANADE BEAUTIFUL. AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER ITEM I THINK KIND OF WENT A LITTLE TOO FAR.

AND I APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENT, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, TRY TO ZERO EVERYTHING OUT.

THAT ONE, I THINK IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP IN.

LANDSCAPING SOUTH JUANITA AND CAMINO REAL. I'M NOT GOING TO SECOND GUESS DISTRICT 2 IF THEY DON'T WANT.

YEAH. SO WE WE CAN REMOVE THAT. MY DISTRICT. YOU KNOW, RBPAC PANEL, $1,300 EXPENDITURE.

YOU KNOW, ANYTHING WE DO WITH THE REDONDO BEACH PERFORMING ARTS CENTER THAT'S JUST A WORLD RENOWNED VENUE.

PEOPLE LITERALLY COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

WE HAVE PRESIDENTS, HEADS OF STATE VISITING. WE DO EVENTS THERE.

IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA TO TRY TO KEEP THAT VISUALLY APPEALING IN ADDITION TO THE WORK WE'RE DOING.

SO IT MAKES SENSE TO KEEP THAT IN. AVIATION PARK PICKLEBALL.

I MEAN, IF THERE'S ONE PROJECT THIS YEAR FOR SURE THAT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND THAT OUR STAFF IS JUST SO GEARED UP AND READY TO MOVE ON.

THAT'S A DOUBLE PRIORITY PROJECT OF TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS.

IT'S A COMPLETE CITY COUNCIL PRIORITY ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS AVIATION PICKLEBALL, AND I KNOW STAFF IS IN HIGH GEAR WORKING TO DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO GET SHOVELS IN THE GROUND AND GET THAT MOVING.

FINGERS CROSSED, WITHIN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS, WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT AND IT'S PART OF THE ACTION PLAN.

SO I'M IN RESIDENCE AND EVERYONE WE'VE HEARD FOR FROM ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF REMOVING THAT ADDITIONAL $100,000 FOR THAT AVIATION PICKLEBALL COURT. IF FOR SOME REASON IT'S NOT USED, SO BE IT.

BUT TO PULL IT OUT WOULD JUST SEND THE ENTIRE.

I'M SORRY, CAN I? IT'S ONLY. NO, WELL, I'LL GET TO THE END AND.

SURE. WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU. SO YOU KNOW, ANY AMOUNT OF THAT TO START CUTTING AROUND THE EDGES, WRONG MESSAGE. AND LIKE ALL THE OTHER RECREATIONAL SPACES IN OUR CITY AND, AND PARKS.

I MEAN, IF THERE'S ONE THING THIS COUNCIL'S RALLIED AROUND, IT'S SUPPORTING THE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE.

I MEAN, FRANKLIN PARK COMES TO MIND. DOMINGUEZ PARK.

HERONDO PARK. WILDERNESS PARK. ALTA VISTA. PICKLEBALL.

I MEAN, THAT'S AN AREA WHERE THIS COUNCIL HAS AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO KEEP COMMON GROUND.

ALTA VISTA FENCE. THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

LET'S TAKE CARE OF THAT. IF WE CAN, IF IT FITS IN APPROPRIATELY.

YOU KNOW, THIS MAYOR DOESN'T ASK FOR MUCH. AND ALTHOUGH I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR ON A LOT, THE MOSAIC ART TILE MURAL FOR THE SHORE WALL, WE HAVE TO KEEP IN THAT $50,000. IF WE TAKE IT OUT AND KIND OF IT'S A WAIT AND SEE, AND THEN WE'RE PULLING AND BITING AND TUGGING TO TRY TO GET IT LATER.

PUTTING THE $50,000 IN THERE SENDS THE RIGHT MESSAGE RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS, WE'RE GOING TO GET IT MOVING, AND IT'S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

AND IT'S PART OF THAT BEAUTIFICATION, REGARDLESS OF THE FUNDING SOURCE THAT WE'RE COMMITTED TO AND REALLY NEED TO GET DONE.

[02:15:05]

AND WE ALSO KNOW ABOUT JOHN VAN HAMERSVELD, RIGHT? THE ENDLESS SUMMER. ANOTHER CONTACT OF THE MAYOR.

AND I'D LIKE TO EXPLORE THAT FURTHER, GETTING, GETTING HIM INVOLVED IN OUR ARTWORK.

AT THE END OF THE LIST, WE SAW FROM THE PRIOR ITEM.

THERE WAS A LONG LIST OF REFERRALS TO STAFF. I MEAN, THERE'S DOZENS.

IT WAS A LOT. AND YOU KNOW, SOME OF IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA, BUT THE ISSUE OF GETTING INTO THAT, ATTEMPTING TO GET INTO THAT TONIGHT OR MAKE IT PART OF A BUDGET MOTION, IS IT INTRODUCES A WHOLE NUMBER OF NEW POLICY DISCUSSIONS THAT AREN'T AREN'T ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE'RE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT WITH STAFF AND RESOURCES.

AND THEY'RE NOT IN THE QUEUE. AND THAT'S REALLY FOR A LATER TIME, NOT TONIGHT.

AND THAT SHOULD BE HANDLED IN, IN DUE COURSE.

AND AND SO THAT, THAT WAS A LITTLE STARTLING AND SOMETHING THAT I, I THINK YOU KNOW, MAY NOT BE THE WELL INTENDED, BUT NOT MAYBE, MAYBE A LITTLE MISPLACED.

I WOULD SAY WITH ONE EXCEPTION. AND I MENTION THIS BECAUSE IT'S TIME SENSITIVE AND THAT'S HERONDO PARK.

WE SHOULD GET THE NAMING DONE ON THAT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

AND ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT'S WORKING ON WITH THE MAYOR ON NAMING FOR PARKS AND THE PROCEDURES WE FOLLOW, YOU KNOW THAT ONE'S TIME SENSITIVE AND WE SHOULD GET THAT OUT.

AND I THINK WE COULD DO THAT THROUGH A REGULAR REFERRAL IN ANY EVENT, IF I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY.

THE $2 PER FOOT BOAT FEE ITEM AND A NUMBER OF OTHER ITEMS IN HERE, I DON'T, YOU KNOW, WANT TO GET INTO ALL OF THAT.

I WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI.

IN A MOMENT, HE'LL GO THROUGH THE DETAILS OF WHAT'S INCLUDED AND WHAT WILL BE PRESENTED AS A REVISED BUDGET, WHICH TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS WITH STAFF, WITH THE MAYOR, WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND OTHERS, AND AGAIN AT HEARING FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS TONIGHT AND PREVIOUS EVENINGS.

WE'VE REALLY TRIED TO CAPTURE THAT AS A KIND OF A WHOLE OF CITY BUDGET THAT WE THINK STRIKES THE RIGHT BALANCE.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW. MAYBE WE COULD TURN IT OVER TO COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI TO, TO GO THROUGH THAT? HAND UP NEXT. YEAH. UNLESS YOU HAD A QUESTION ON ANYTHING, MAYOR. WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND DO THAT? THANK YOU.

CAN YOU LIGHT UP 2B? MAYBE NOT YET. NOT QUITE YET.

ONE SECOND, ONE SECOND, ONE SECOND, PLEASE. I HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS, ACTUALLY.

THE YOUTH COMMISSION SAID TO US. ENSURE THE CITY BALANCES PRIVATE USE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY, I.E.

USE OF SEASIDE LAGOON FOR BEACHLIFE FESTIVAL.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THEY MEANT BY THAT? YEAH, I WAS AT THAT. I WAS AT THAT MEETING THAT CAME UP WHILE WE WERE, I WAS QUEUING AND AYING WITH THE WITH THE GROUP.

I THINK IT WAS THEY WERE THOUGHTFUL QUESTIONS.

I THINK WHAT THEY WERE SPEAKING TO IS SORT OF THE CONCERN OVER PRIVATIZATION OF PUBLIC SPACE, WHETHER IT BE PARKS OR THE LAGOON OR OTHERS, THAT WE SHOULD.

THEY WERE ASKING ABOUT HOW DO WE EVALUATE THAT? HOW DO WE SEEK SORT OF PRIVATE USE FOR A FEE AS COMPARED TO, YOU KNOW, MAKING IT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR FREE? THEY TALKED ABOUT BEACHES AND OTHER AREAS. AND THE ANSWER THAT I GAVE WAS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE REVENUE FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS SO WE CAN SUSTAIN AND, AND OPERATE THESE FACILITIES LONG TERM.

BUT THAT WE TRY TO PROVIDE OCCASIONAL PRIVATE, PRIVATE USE TO GENERATE REVENUES.

AND THEN THE BALANCE IS TO TRY TO PROVIDE LOW COST OFFERINGS OR NO COST OFFERINGS ALONG THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.

SO IT WAS, IT WAS ABOUT, IT WAS MORE ABOUT THE CONCERN OVER PRIVATIZATION OR OVER PRIVATIZATION, YOU KNOW, SIMPLY CHASING REVENUE AS A, AS REALLY JUST SORT OF A POLICY QUESTION.

GREAT. THANKS. AND THEN I WANT TO NOTE FOR THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION THAT YOU ASKED FOR THE MONEY TO BE RETURNED TO THE JOHN PARSONS ART FUND, WHERE IT WAS LEFT OVER FROM TWO MURALS AND THE BRR INDICATED THAT IT HAS BEEN RETURNED.

AND I, I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT JUST SAID AND JUST PHILOSOPHICALLY IT'S TOUGH BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE SOME SIGNIFICANT DISAGREEMENT ON THE COUNCIL, BUT I, I GREATLY RESPECT THE PERSPECTIVE THAT YOU'RE BRINGING IN THE KIND OF STRINGENT DISCIPLINE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO INSTILL IN, IN THE BUDGET PROCESS. I DON'T THINK THAT WHAT OUR APPROACH IS, IS RECKLESS OR IRRESPONSIBLE WITH THE

[02:20:05]

CITY'S MONEY. IN FACT, AS I LOOK AT THE LETTERS TO THE EDITORS IN THE PAPER THIS LAST WEEK OR SO.

CITING THE DIFFICULTIES THAT OTHER CITIES ARE HAVING.

I'M FEELING LIKE REDONDO, WHILE WE'RE ALSO GOING THROUGH A STRUGGLE, IS POISED TO COME OUT STRONG AND POTENTIALLY EVEN STRONGER THAN OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES.

AND WHAT I HOPE TO DO IN OUR BUDGET MOTION IS TO MAKE US ABLE TO COME OUT STRONGER WHEN THE DUST CLEARS AND, YOU KNOW, WARS ARE ENDING AND INFLATION TAMES AND THE LIKE, THAT REDONDO CAN BOUNCE BACK AND TOURISM IS BACK.

REDONDO CAN BOUNCE BACK STRONGER THAN ANY OTHERS.

SO WITH THAT, DID YOU FUND, BY THE WAY, THE MONUMENT SIGNS? YOU DID NOT. NO. SO AND I GUESS LAST NOTE BEFORE I JUMP INTO THE MOTION IS BACK IN THE PANDEMIC, WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT, EVERYBODY WAS LIKE, OH, HOLD ON, HOLD YOUR DOLLARS, YOU KNOW, DON'T SPEND.

AND I WAS I WAS A FIRM OWNER AT THAT TIME. AND INSTEAD I PUT MY MONEY INTO MARKETING TO REACH THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE AT HOME THROUGH INTERNET MARKETING AND THE LIKE, MARKETING AND THE LIKE. AND IT WORKED OUT. THESE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO PULL AHEAD WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE IS CLAMPING DOWN.

THIS IS NOT A TIME WHEN I WANT TO SAY, NOW WE CAN LIGHT UP 2B.

LET ME JUST MAKE SURE I'M PLUGGED IN. THIS IS NOT A TIME WHEN I WANT TO SAY TO IMPULSE IN NORTH REDONDO, WHO IS HIRING YOU KNOW, DOUBLE, TRIPLE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THEY CURRENTLY HAVE.

HAVE YOUR EMPLOYEES DRIVE BY THIS, THIS OLD. CLEARLY BOTH IN BRANDING AND IN PAINT OLD SIGN THAT DOESN'T REALLY REFLECT THE AWESOMENESS OF REDONDO BEACH.

IT'S TIME TO REFRESH THIS STUFF AND MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WHEN YOU'RE ENTERING IN INTO REDONDO BEACH, WE'VE GOT A UNIFIED ENTRYWAY AT ALL OUR ENTRANCES.

WE'VE GOT A BRAND AND THIS IS A COOL PLACE TO BE.

SO JUMPING INTO THE MOTION, WE MOVE TO APPROVE ALL THE DECISION PACKAGES IN THE FIVE YEAR CIP ADOPT BRR 1 AS REVISED JUNE 16TH, 1A AND 8, AS AMENDED. AND THE INTENTION WITH 8, WHICH I'LL DISPLAY IN A SECOND, IS TO PROVIDE A TOTAL SUBSIDY FOR CITY FEES FOR THE RVA TRICK OR TREAT AND RVA HOLIDAY STROLL. THOSE.

THOSE EVENTS HAVE MINIMAL IMPACT. THEY'RE FREE TO THE PUBLIC. THEY GENERATE NO REVENUE AS OPPOSED TO LARGE SCALE ROOT BASED EVENTS.

AND WHERE AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE, ONLY THAT PART OF THE DECISION PACKAGE OR CIP IS AMENDED GOING TO.

LET ME SEE. I'M SORRY. I TRIED TO PULL UP THE OTHER PAGES AND IT'S A STRUGGLE HERE ON SHEETS SOMETIMES.

THE OTHER TIMES. THERE IT IS. OKAY, BRR 8. SO HERE'S HOW WE'VE AMENDED BRR 8.

THE HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREAT STROLL. SUBSIDIES GOT UP TO $6,277.

THE RIVIERA VILLAGE HOLIDAY STROLL HAS GONE UP TO $8,321.

THAT SHOULD BE A TOTAL SUBSIDY OF BOTH THE CITY FEES, AS WELL AS WHAT'S INDICATED IN BRR 40 FOR THE MILEAGE FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE MILEAGE FEE, STREET CLOSURE FEE ON THE SUMMERFEST, WE'VE PUT THE SUBSIDY AMOUNT TO $4,080.

THAT SHOULD COMPLETELY COVER THEIR STREET CLOSURE FEE, BUT NOT THEIR TOTAL CITY FEE.

SO THEIR CITY FEES ASSOCIATED WITH PUBLIC WORKS, FIRE, WHATEVER, WHATEVER FEES THEY GET CHARGED FROM THAT.

SO IT'S A PARTIAL SUBSIDY. AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SUBSIDIES WILL BE AT $44,678.

OUR GOAL IS TO KEEP IT UNDER $45,000. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT? IT'S A STRUGGLE, BUT SURE, I'LL TRY. AND DO WE HAVE AN ESTIMATE ON WHAT THOSE SUMMERFEST FEES? THIS IS TBD. SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO FIGURE ANYTHING OUT.

LIKE WHAT WAS IT LAST YEAR OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? YEAH. THEY'RE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN EITHER OF THE STROLLS.

I WE DO KNOW THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE THE DATA ON.

SO I HOPE IT WORKS. I THINK. WE'LL HAVE THAT ANSWER FOR YOU HERE IN A LITTLE BIT.

COUNCIL MEMBER. THOUGHT WITH THE PARTIAL SUBSIDY THERE WAS UNLIKE THE OTHER EVENTS THE SUMMERFEST DOES CHARGE VENDORS TO SET UP SHOP AND ESSENTIALLY MAKE MONEY, GENERATE REVENUE OFF OF CLOSING THE STREET.

AND I AGREE 100%. RIVIERA VILLAGE SPENDS ABOUT $60,000 OF ITS BUDGET TO PUT ON THOSE TWO NON-REVENUE EVENTS,

[02:25:01]

WHEREAS THEY MAKE MONEY FROM SUMMERFEST. SO I 100% UNDERSTAND THAT AND AGREE.

DO WE HAVE THAT NUMBER, ELIZABETH? YEAH. YEAH.

SO TOTAL FEES ARE OVER $15,000. BUT THEN WE APPLY THE SUBSIDY.

THAT WAS $12,500 TOTAL. TO WHAT? WHICH BRINGS IT DOWN TO AROUND.

JUST OVER $3,000. SO LAST YEAR'S SUMMERFEST, THEY PAID, I SHOULDN'T SAY THE RVA, BUT THEY PAID ABOUT $3,000.

AND I WOULD VENTURE TO GUESS THE LION'S SHARE OF THAT IS POLICE OFFICER REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE BEER GARDEN.

AND WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE ESTIMATE IS FOR THE KING HARBOR SEAFAIR? I DON'T REMEMBER IT BEING VERY MUCH. IT'S UNDER $1,500, I BELIEVE.

DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THEY HOSTED IT. TO BE HONEST.

YEAH. HAVEN'T DONE THAT IN YEARS. I THINK IT WAS THE CASE. I RECALL IT WAS THE CANNON FEE, CANNON FIRE FEE THAT WE WERE WAIVING, WHICH WAS A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

MARK ACTUALLY MIGHT REMEMBER BETTER, BUT I THINK THE $1,500 IN THIS MOTION WOULD MORE THAN COVER THAT, THAT PARTICULAR COST. YOU SAY THE NUMBER AGAIN FOR SUMMERFEST.

I DIDN'T WRITE DOWN THE. SO I'LL GIVE YOU THE EXACT NUMBERS.

SO THE. THE SUBSIDY WAS $12,500. WHAT WAS REMAINING AFTER THAT FOR THEM TO PAY THE CITY WAS $3,943.

SO ALL TOGETHER REALLY IT'S CLOSER TO $16,500.

SO UNDER THAT PLAN THEN THEN IT WOULD BE ABOUT 16.

HOW DO THESE NUMBERS COMPARE TO THE SIGNATURE EVENT SUBSIDIES THAT WE AGREED TO? I THINK THAT'S WHAT HE HAS. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT PAGE? I'VE OVERLAID. IF YOU GO TO THE ORIGINAL BRR 8, YOU CAN SEE.

I CAN GET YOU. I CAN GET IT HERE. WHAT THE WHAT THE BUDGET INCLUDES.

WHICH BRR? 8. THAT'S 40 RIGHT. OH, HERE IT IS.

ALL RIGHT. SO. AND. I CAN PULL IT UP HERE. IT WAS $2,500.

HERE. LET ME. I'VE GOT IT. I'VE GOT THE ORIGINAL HERE TOO.

HERE'S THE ORIGINAL. SO YOUR GOAL WAS TO KEEP.

KEEP IT ROUGHLY AT $45,000. THE TOTAL NUMBER IN BRR 8 RIGHT NOW IS THE SUBSIDY AMOUNTS $45,000.

IT WAS $2,500 FOR TRICK OR TREAT, $2,500 FOR HOLIDAY STROLL, $2,500 FOR THE BOAT PARADE, $10,000 FOR THE 10K.

$10,000 FOR SPRINGFEST. AND THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET, MIND YOU.

$5,000 FOR THE LA KINGS 5K, $10,000 FOR THE RIVIERA VILLAGE SUMMERFEST AND $2,500 FOR THE SEAFAIR FOR A TOTAL OF $45,000. SO THE BUDGET MOTION HERE, IF DOES NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE GET 300 WHATEVER DOLLARS BACK? OH, YEAH. GO TO TOWN. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANKS FOR SHOWING THAT.

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SEE WAS THAT DELTA FROM WHAT.

WHAT WE HAD. HAD IN THERE BEFORE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, I'LL GET BACK TO.

HERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. SO. AND WHERE. THE BUDGET IS.

SORRY. THE MOTION IS A WRITTEN MOTION. SO IF I SAY SOMETHING OR OMIT TO SAY SOMETHING THAT'S WRITTEN HERE, THEN THAT'S WHAT YOU CONTROL. ALL RIGHT THEN OUR BIKE PATH.

WE'VE COVERED THAT. I THINK SHE COVERED. COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC AND COUNCIL COVERED THAT IN HER MOTION.

BOTH MORE LIGHTS RESTRIPING REFRESHED PAVEMENT MARKERS.

OPTION 3. SO THIS IS, THIS IS, THIS IS FOR THE NRB FARMERS MARKET.

I MEAN, THIS IS A NEW STARTUP THAT HAS TAKEN FLIGHT IN NORTH REDONDO.

THE AACAP CALLS FOR THE STREET CLOSURE TO PLACE MAKE.

AND THEY'VE DONE IT TEMPORARILY. AND RATHER THAN HAVE THEM CONTINUE TO CARRY THIS BURDEN, MAYBE TO THE POINT WHERE THEY END UP SHUTTING DOWN BECAUSE IT'S TOO MUCH OF A BURDEN.

THIS IS A CITY PARTNERING WITH THEM, A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP, IF YOU WILL, TO CLOSE THE STREET ON A TEMPORARY BASIS BY INSTALLING THIS.

THESE, THESE BOLLARDS. BY THE WAY, THAT'S GENERATED THE NRB FARMERS MARKET HAS GENERATED SIGNIFICANT FUNDS IN TERMS OF BUSINESS REGISTRATIONS AND SALES TAX. AND THEY'RE GOING TO REINVEST IN THE ARTESIA, THE AACAP AREA.

ALL RIGHT. BRR 44. CAN I ASK? JUST COMMENT ON THAT.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN THEY CAME IN AND SPOKE TO THE CITY COUNCIL, THEY TALKED ABOUT YOU KNOW, THE MONEY THAT THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE AND INVEST IT BACK INTO ARTESIA AT LARGE, BUT ALSO OBVIOUSLY INTO THE MARKET.

BUT RIGHT NOW, THIS FIRST SEASON, LET'S CALL IT, IS THEIR TRIAL SEASON.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE WERE SAYING IS THAT IT'S THEIR INITIAL SEASON.

IT'S THEIR TRIAL SEASON. AT THE END OF THE SEASON, WE CAN SEE HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE. AND,

[02:30:04]

YOU KNOW, OUR HOPE IS THAT IT COMES BACK NEXT SUMMER OR, YOU KNOW, IT EXPANDS THE, THE TIME PERIOD THAT IT'S IN OPERATION JUST BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A HUGE HIT. BUT AT THIS POINT, LET IT FINISH ITS INITIAL TRIAL AND SEE WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE BEFORE WE COMMIT TO FUNDING BOLLARDS.

SURE. BUT HAVE YOU BEEN PART OF THIS PROCESS NOW SEVERAL TIMES.

WHAT I'VE SEEN IS OUR ALLOCATIONS THAT WE MAKE RARELY GET USED EVEN IN THAT IMMEDIATE NEXT YEAR, RIGHT? IT'S ALLOCATED TO IT. BUT WHAT I'VE ALSO PROMISED IS IF EVER WE COME ON A HARD TIME WHERE WE NEED TO DEFUND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE FUNDED, THEN I'D BE WILLING TO DEFUND THAT, DEFUND THEM.

BUT SO FAR WE HAVEN'T HAD TO DO THAT. BUT I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SIGNAL TO THEM, HEY, WE ARE HERE. WE'RE, WE'RE PARTNERING WITH YOU AND WE LIKE TO WE'D LIKE YOU TO CONTINUE DOING THIS.

NRB FARMERS MARKET THAT HAS BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY AND ACTIVITY REGULARLY TO NORTH REDONDO, WHICH HAS BEEN SO LACKING FOR SO LONG.

SO FOR NOW, IT'S HERE. BRR 44. IF I COULD ADD SOMETHING COUNCILMAN ON THAT.

I MEAN, THE OPTION COULD BE RIGHT. YOU COULD APPROPRIATE THE FUNDING.

NOW YOU COULD DELAY THE IMPLEMENTATION UNTIL THE CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL PERIOD.

I MEAN, YOU COULD. SURE. CONFIRM. YOU COULD INCLUDE THE APPROPRIATION IN THE BUDGET MOTION, BUT HAVE IT DELAYED CONFIRMING EFFICACY OR CONTINUATION OF THE PROGRAM.

TILL TRIAL PERIOD INCLUDED SUCCESS. JUST TO JUMP BACK TO.

EARLIER, JUST THE STATEMENT YOU WERE MAKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE MOTION IS THAT'S WHAT'S WRITTEN. ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN YOUR ITEMS THAT WERE INCLUDED ON OUR BUDGET VERSUS WHAT YOU HAVE IS THAT OUR BUDGET HAS THEM, BUT IT'S NOT COMING FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

WE WERE FINDING OTHER NON-GENERAL FUND SOURCES SO.

YEAH, I WANTED TO ASK, I WANTED TO ASK THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT THAT ACTUALLY.

SO I SEE HERE, FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE MAJOR FACILITIES FUND THERE'S ABOUT $446,000.

IS THAT ARE ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED IN OUR MOTIONS SOME THINGS MONEY.

SHOULD BE, SHOULD THEY BE FUNDED FROM THE MAJOR FACILITIES REPAIR FUND? WE, WE HAVE A FAIRLY LIMITED AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S GOING INTO THAT FUND ON AN ANNUALIZED BASIS.

AND MOST AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S NOT ACCRUING A SIGNIFICANT FUND BALANCE OVER THE YEARS.

WE'VE HAD THAT FUND NOW FOR, GOSH, 15 YEARS MAYBE.

SO WE TEND IN OUR PROPOSED CIP TO SPEND WHAT WE RECEIVE TO KEEP ITEMS OF IMPORTANCE REPAIRED AS TIMELY AS WE CAN. SO AS MUCH AS I WOULD LOVE TO SAY THAT, HEY, THIS IS OUR LONG TERM SINKING FUND FOR CITY HALL REPLACEMENT OR SOME OF OUR OTHER BIG CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO ADDRESS.

I MEAN, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. THAT ISN'T HASN'T BEEN, AT LEAST HISTORICALLY, HOW WE'VE UTILIZED THAT FUND.

WE WE'VE TREATED IT AS MORE OF A REPAIR ACCOUNT FOR ITEMS THAT WE GENERALLY DON'T HAVE ANOTHER RESTRICTED SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR, WHICH IS TYPICALLY MAINTENANCE. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON, ON BRR 18, WE'D LIKE TO I'D LIKE TO MAINTAIN THIS $55,000. THIS IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE.

IT'S AN INVESTMENT IN PUBLIC SAFETY. IT'S INVESTMENT IN MOBILITY. AND AGAIN, NORTH REDONDO DON'T HAVE AN EASY WAY TO GET TO THE BEACH.

GET DOWN TO HERMOSA BEACH PCH WITHOUT USING AVIATION.

AND SO IT'S LIKE RIGHT ON THE SIDEWALK, THAT VERY NARROW SIDEWALK OR ELSE RIGHT ON THE STREET WITH FAST TRAVELING CARS.

SO THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF. A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT THAT WE DO NEED TO MAKE.

AND THE INSTRUCTION ALSO PROVIDES THAT GENERAL FUND ONLY IF TRANSPORTATION RESTRICTED FUNDING CANNOT BE OBTAINED AFTER DILIGENT PURSUIT FIRST.

ALL RIGHT. AND I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SIGNAL THIS TO THIS COMMITMENT TO HERMOSA BEACH BECAUSE THEY'RE DISCUSSING THEIR CIP AND AVIATION'S ONLY PARTIALLY IN REDONDO BEACH, PARTIALLY IN REDONDO IN MANHATTAN, PARTIALLY IN HERMOSA.

AND SO I WOULD LIKE THEM TO SEE THAT WE'RE MAKING AN INVESTMENT AS WELL.

WE HAVE THE MAYOR'S REQUESTED FEE SCHEDULE, MASTER FEE SCHEDULE, ADDITION OF MINIMUM $2 PER FOOT PER DAY.

WE'RE NOT ACCRUING ANY MONEY FROM THAT. QUALITY OF LIFE AND REVENUE GENERATION AT TWO FULL TIME MSO'S RBPD.

INCREASING THE STREET SWEEPING CITATION TO $79 TO MATCH OTHER PARKING CITATIONS.

I WILL SAY I DID ASK OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, STEPHANIE ABOUT WHERE MONEY IS COMING FROM FOR OUR PARKING PERMIT SALES AND 109 PARKING PERMITS ARE PROCURED FROM 978.

976 ARE PROCURED FROM 90277. THAT'S 63.67, MORE OR LESS FROM REDONDO BEACH PO BOX, AND ONLY ABOUT 27% 26% ARE COMING FROM 36% COMING FROM OUTSIDE

[02:35:07]

OF REDONDO BEACH. SO, YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE THE INCREASING THE PARKING PERMIT FEE IS GOING TO DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT OUR RESIDENTS. I'M NOT SURE THAT IT'S REALLY THE JUICE IS WORTH THE SQUEEZE SINCE WE'RE POTENTIALLY GENERATING REVENUE FROM THESE OTHER SOURCES.

AND THAT COULD BE SOMETHING WE RESERVE, YOU KNOW, GIVE FOLKS A BREAK. WE JUST RAISED IT IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

GIVE FOLKS A BREAK FOR A YEAR, MAYBE GET ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTION, AND THEN YOU CAN RAISE IT AGAIN UP TO THE 225 NUMBER NEXT YEAR POTENTIALLY.

JUST ON THAT POINT. THE BULK OF THE, THE PARKING METER FEES AS WELL AS PARKING TICKETS OUTSIDE OF STREET SWEEPING ARE IN THE 90277 BECAUSE WE CHARGE FOR THE, YOU KNOW, THE RVA DOWN IN THE RIVIERA AS WELL AS KING HARBOR WHERE PARKING IS FREE ALONG ARTESIA, THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER SO. DO YOU WANT? YOU WANT TO RAISE IT? WELL, IN OUR PROPOSED BUDGET, THAT'S WHAT WE HAD.

AND BASICALLY OUR INCREASE WAS JUST COMMENSURATE WITH THE INCREASE IN PARKING METER RATES.

SO, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE RAISING PARKING METER RATES.

PARKING METER RATES WENT UP 10%, YOU RAISE THE FEE, 15%.

YOU CAN DO. WE CAN DO 10%. YEAH. 2.25, $2.25.

YEAH. I SEE. I THINK, YEAH, I THINK IT WOULD BE 2.20 INSTEAD OF 2.25.

2.15 I THOUGHT IS WHAT I CALCULATED, BUT. YOU SUPPORT 2.15? YEAH, I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI THAT WE'VE BEEN RAISING THAT RATE FOR MANY YEARS IN A ROW.

AND I THINK WE WILL START TO SEE A LOT OF DIMINISHING.

OKAY. 2.20. DIMINISHING RETURNS. IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL.

BUT THEN WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE PAYING OUR PARKING METER FEES.

I THINK WE WILL HAVE PEOPLE AVOIDING THE AREA.

HOW ABOUT LET ME GO. LET ME GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE MOTION. YOU GUYS REACH A CONSENSUS ON WHAT YOU WANT THE NUMBER TO BE TOO. AND THEN IT IS ULTIMATELY GOING TO AFFECT 2.

90277 MORE THAN 90278. SO I GUESS I'LL BUDGE ON MAKING THEM DO IT.

IT'S A CHOICE THAT IT MAKES SENSE FOR YOU OR IT DOESN'T.

SURE. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON. CIP, ADD TO CIP. YEAH.

AVIATION PICKLEBALL $100,000. AGAIN, THIS AMENITY.

I'LL SAY THIS ALSO ADDITIONALLY TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT SAID AT PERRY PARK.

PERRY PARK GETS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF USE AND IT GETS TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF USE BECAUSE YOU GOT SKATING THERE, YOU GOT THE PLAYGROUND, YOU GOT THE BASEBALL, THE FIELDS.

YOU GOT PICKLEBALL AND BASKETBALL SHARING THE SAME SPACE.

THE PICKLEBALLERS DO STEP ON THE TOES OF THE BASKETBALLERS, AND THEY OCCUPY THE COURT FOR A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE DAY.

WE'VE HAD TO MODIFY THE HOURS. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR HAUSE, FOR WORKING WITH US ON THAT.

AND WE'VE KIND OF WORKED IT OUT TO WHERE THE PICKLEBALLERS TAKE THE MORNING AND THE BASKETBALLERS TAKE THE AFTERNOONS.

BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO RETURN THAT TO ALL BASKETBALL AT SOME POINT IF WE GET THE PICKLEBALLERS IN EXCLUSIVE FACILITY UP IN AVIATION PARK, THAT'S JUST FOR THEM. SO THIS IS OUR PRIORITY PROJECT.

WE'D ASK THAT IT GET A FULL $100,000. YOU MEAN 600? SURE. 600. AN ADDITIONAL $100,000. I MEAN, THE PROJECT'S GOING TO COST $1.5 MILLION, SO WE'RE GOING TO GET IT UP TO 1.1 OR 1.2 WITH THIS.

YES. SO WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO GET ANOTHER $300,000 AT SOME POINT.

BUT BIG, YOU KNOW MAJOR CHANGE, MAJOR POSITIVE CHANGE SOMETIMES COSTS MONEY, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE INVESTMENTS THAT WE SHOULD MAKE BECAUSE IT WILL PAY FOR ITSELF SIGNIFICANTLY. AND NOT DOING IT IS PUTTING PRESSURE ON OUR OTHER FACILITIES.

ALL RIGHT. I'VE REDUCED THE ALLOCATION TO THE PERRY PARK FENCING TO, TO $33,000, BRINGING THE TOTAL UP TO $104,000.

I'M NOT IN A RUSH TO DO THAT. I JUST WANT IT TO GET DONE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.

AND I'VE CHANGED THE CONSTRUCTION DATE TO 2028.

AND I TOOK THAT MONEY, THE 75,000. THAT THE REST OF THE $75,000 AND PUT IT INTO ALTA VISTA ALONG JUANITA BECAUSE THAT FENCE NEEDS IT FOR SURE. AND I SHOULD, I SHOULD INDICATE.

I THINK THE BRR LISTED THAT AT CLOSER TO $46,000 JUST FOR THE RECORD.

FOR ALTA VISTA? YEAH. THE ESTIMATE WAS 49. 45.

9. I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE IT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE.

WE'LL SEE WHERE THE FUND COMES OUT TO. OKAY. SO YOU TAKE A FUND OUT 32,000.

ALL RIGHT, $46,000 AND WE'LL COPY THAT INTO HERE.

[02:40:02]

ALL RIGHT. TEEN CENTER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ACCOUNT FOR THE WHEELCHAIR LIFT $35,000.

WILDERNESS PARK ACCOUNT, THE ALL TERRAIN ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR, BUDGET NEUTRAL CHANGES TO STAFF TWO ATTENDANCE FOR WILDERNESS PARK.

AND THEN I MADE THE OTHER AMENDMENTS IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN EARLIER.

BRR 22 HERITAGE COURT BENCHES STILL PROVIDING.

CAN I? ACTUALLY. CAN I PROVIDE A CLARIFICATION COUNCILMAN ON THE LINE ON 48? WHEN IT COMES TO THE WILDERNESS PARK, I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WE WILL EVALUATE AND THEN COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDED PLAN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN A VACUUM. THIS WILL REQUIRE A COUNCIL DISCUSSION.

SURE. AS A FOLLOW UP MATTER. I THINK THE KEY IS COST NEUTRAL.

YEAH. I THINK THAT IS. AND WE PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND THAT GOAL.

COST NEUTRAL. YES. AND I THINK WE WOULD PROVIDE SOME OPTIONS ON HOW WE COULD ACHIEVE THAT.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE PLACE FOR IT. RIGHT.

HERITAGE COURT TWO BENCHES. THIS IS I THINK A RELATIVE LUXURY COMPARED TO THE FENCE, FOR EXAMPLE, AT ALTA VISTA. AND WE CAN ALWAYS FUND TWO MORE BENCHES NEXT YEAR.

DOMINGUEZ PARK FENCE REMOVAL IS ALREADY THERE'S MONEY FOR THAT.

DESIGNATE WILDERNESS PARK, A LOCAL LANDMARK. DALE PAGE PARK.

WE JUST NEEDED $2,500, SO PUBLIC WORKS CAN MAINTAIN THE CRACK THERE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.

SO IT CONTINUES TO BE A TEMPORARY PICKLEBALL FACILITY FOR.

THAT WAS THE CHEAPEST OF ALL THE OPTIONS. THERE WAS A BRR FOR $60,000 TO SPORT COURT DATE, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT, RIGHT. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO DO THAT AGAIN, TRYING TO BE PRUDENT.

EXTEND THE FENCE SEPARATION AT ALTA VISTA BETWEEN TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL.

THERE WASN'T A THIS WAS A REQUEST FROM THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION.

I'M SORRY, THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION, THERE WASN'T A BRR ON THAT.

BUT WE GOT. WE HAVE ALLOCATED $8,000 OF SUBDIVISION TRUST FUNDS.

HOPEFULLY THAT WILL COVER IT. ALL RIGHT, SO I WAS WALKING THIS MORNING AND I GOT TO THANK DIRECTOR WINJE BECAUSE I SENT HIM AN EMAIL THIS MORNING AND I HAD A THOROUGH RESPONSE, ESSENTIALLY A BRR WITHIN HOURS.

BUT THE BENCHES AT THE WATERFRONT ARE HEINOUS LOOKING.

AND THIS IS NOT THIS IS NOT LIKE ONE OF THESE YEARS WHERE YOU WANT TO DO NOTHING AND INVEST IN NOTHING THAT YOU HAVE.

BECAUSE WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS IS THE BENCHES ARE GOING TO GET MORE CORRODED.

THEY'RE GOING TO GET UNSERVICEABLE. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DIP THEM IN COATING AND FIX THEM AND KIND OF TIDY THEM BACK UP, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DISPOSE OF THEM AND SPEND $2,500 TO REPLACE THEM.

SO THE SUMMARY IS WE HAVE 50 METAL BENCHES ON THE WATERFRONT.

IT'S ABOUT $750 TO $1000 TO RECOAT THEM. YOU CANNOT RECOUP ALL OF THEM PROBABLY.

IF YOU NEED TO FULLY REPLACE THESE METAL BENCHES, YOU NEED TO DO IT FOR $2,500.

THE LIFESPAN OF THE REPLACEMENT OF METAL BENCHES WILL BE 5 TO 7 YEARS.

PUBLIC WORKS PREFERS CONCRETE BENCHES, BUT IF YOU REPLACE ONE WITH CONCRETE, THEN YOU'VE KIND OF GOT INCONSISTENT FURNITURE AND THE LIKE.

SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS ALLOCATE $30,000 FOR PUBLIC WORKS TO MAINTAIN REPLACE WATERFRONT BENCHES WITHIN THEIR DISCRETION AND EXPERTISE.

BECAUSE IT DOES SEEM THAT THEY NEED IT AND THERE ISN'T ANY MONEY IN THE TIDELANDS OR THE UPLANDS TO DO THAT.

IS THAT A GENERAL FUND EXPENSE COUNCILMAN? THAT IS A GENERAL FUND.

CAN WE CAN WE REFERENCE THAT UNDER COLUMN F? WELL, IT'S COMING FROM THE GENERAL FUND HERE, BUT I CAN. OH YEAH. THE COLUMN HERE? YEAH. YOU GOT ANOTHER FUND FOR IT? NOPE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE KEEP THE RECURRING POWER WASHING OF THE ESPLANADE TWO MORE TIMES PER YEAR, PERHAPS DURING THE BUSIEST SUMMER MONTHS.

LOOK, I DON'T HAVE A DOG, BUT I'VE GOT A FAMILY.

WE LOVE TO WALK ON THE ESPLANADE, AND IT'S AWFUL WHEN IT'S FILTHY.

SO WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THAT PLACE CLEAN BECAUSE IT'S HIGHLY TRAFFICKED AND IT IS WHERE THE DOG OWNERS GO, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE A DOG OR NOT. IT'S WHERE THE DOG OWNERS GO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GO TO THE BOARDWALK DOWN BELOW. ALL RIGHT.

RBPAC PANEL REPLACEMENT, $1,300. THIS IS AND THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER THING ABOUT THE RBPAC THE MARQUEE SIGN DOWN HERE FOR $24,000.

THESE SIGNS HERE, THESE LOGOS ARE EVERYWHERE.

AND THIS PLACE GETS THOUSANDS, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VISITORS EVERY YEAR.

AND SO IT'S KIND OF, IT'S IMPORTANT TO RIP THE BAND AID OFF AND GET THIS REBRANDING CONSISTENTLY DONE THROUGHOUT THE CITY ASAP.

[02:45:10]

ALL RIGHT. LANDSCAPING SOUTH JUANITA AND CAMINO REAL IT'S ACTUALLY DISTRICT 1, SO.

AND COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER DOES WANT THAT. AND DO YOU WANT TO SPEND $12,000? YEAH. OKAY. AND THAT COMES OUT OF QUIMBY? THIS.

SO IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE, ACTUALLY.

QUESTION FOR MR. WITZANSKY. COULD THAT COME FROM SUBDIVISION TRUST FUNDS? IT IS. IT IS CONTIGUOUS WITH THE ALTA VISTA PARK.

RIGHT? IT'S THE FLOWER BED IN FRONT OF THE PARK.

IT'S LIKE IT'S THE PARK'S PARKWAY, BASICALLY.

YES IT COULD. YES IT COULD. IT'S BORDERLINE.

OKAY. BUT WE DON'T HAVE QUIMBY FUNDS FOR THAT RIGHT NOW, SO.

WE DO IT. I KNOW I HAD IT LISTED AS GENERAL FUND IN MY PROPOSAL, SO.

I'M TRYING TO SAY. BUT QUIMBY WOULD BE INTERESTING, I THINK, TO.

TRUST FUNDS IF AVAILABLE. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE, THE WAY THE FENCE CUTS.

OTHERWISE, GENERAL FUND. ONE TIME EXPENSE. OR SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT. CITYWIDE. COULD WE LOAN TO THIS TO THE QUIMBY FUND? NO. ALL RIGHT. BUT ON THIS NOTE, WE ALSO ALLOCATED $10,000 FOR ADDITIONAL TREE PLANTING FUNDING.

AND IF YOU SEE THE WORK, THIS IS THIS IS MONEY WELL INVESTED.

IF YOU SEE THE WORK THAT THE CITY HAS DONE JUST RECENTLY, THIS IS ON 190TH THIS IS ON CATALINA.

THERE'S MORE MEDIAN SPACE ON CATALINA THAT DOESN'T HAVE TREES YET.

THIS IS GREAT. I MEAN, THIS IS. THIS IS ONE BEAUTIFYING NOW, BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE HUGE DIVIDENDS IN TWO, THREE YEARS FROM NOW. SO BOTH IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, FRESH AIR, SHADE, COOLING AND ESTHETIC BEAUTY.

SAME REQUEST. COULD WE CITE THE GENERAL FUND SOURCE THERE? ALL RIGHT. CITYWIDE MONUMENT WAYFINDING SIGN REFRESH WHERE YOU DISCUSSED THAT $96,000 ONE TIME MOSAIC ART TILE MURAL FOR YOUR WALL BETWEEN CAL SURF CLUB AND RIVIERA CANTINA.

THAT'S FROM THE JOHN PARSONS PUBLIC ART FUND.

THERE WOULD STILL BE. UNDER THE JOHN PARSONS FUND, AN ADDITIONAL 50.

$100,000 THERE, LEAVING IT UNALLOCATED. THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION TO DO SOME SORT OF APP WHERE YOU CAN FIND PUBLIC ART IN THE CITY INTERESTED ME, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT WE'RE READY TO INVEST MONEY IN IT.

WHAT I'D SAY IS IT WOULD BE GREAT IF IT COULD BLEND IN WITH ACCESS REDONDO BE ONE APP, LIKE A ONE STOP SHOP FOR REDONDO, RATHER THAN HAVE TO GET ON A DIFFERENT APP FOR YOU KNOW, CULTURAL ARTS AND EVENTS AND THE LIKE.

ONE THOUGHT IS RICK WILLIAM KEEPS COMING UP WITH THE APP HE'S DEVELOPING FOR ARTESIA.

HE SAID HE COULD ADD OTHER LAYERS. I HAD ASKED HIM ABOUT HISTORY.

HE COULD PROBABLY ADD AN ART LAYER TOO. THERE YOU GO. EXCELLENT.

SO IT'S A GREAT IDEA. AND THERE'S MONEY IN THE JOHN PARSONS ART FUND FOR ANY IDEAS FOLKS HAVE TO ADVANCE ART AND PUBLIC ART IN REDONDO BEACH. AND IT'LL STAY AT LEAST UNDER OUR MOTION UNALLOCATED.

BACK TO THIS MOTION. MISCELLANEOUS DESIGN SERVICES FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS, $7,500.

CAN WE, CAN WE FLUSH THAT OUT? I UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD, I THINK THAT'S LOGO DESIGN SERVICES, RIGHT? LOGO. ARE YOU BASICALLY SAYING TO HIRE A DESIGNER? THIS IS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BRANDING RIGHT? LOGO DESIGN/BRANDING.

ALL RIGHT. AND WE ALREADY ADDRESSED THE RBPAC MARQUEE SIGN.

AND THEN A FUND FOR A THIRD PARTY FACILITATOR TO ASSIST THE CITY COUNCIL WITH ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW OF THE CITY MANAGER.

RATHER THAN DO A 360, WHICH IS ABOUT $30,000, $35,000 IS JUST A FACILITATOR.

SO THIS WILL BE $15,000. AND CAN WE NOTE THE FOR BOTH THAT ITEM AS WELL AS LINE ITEM 78.

CAN WE NOTE THE GENERAL FUND EXPENSE THERE AS WELL?

[02:50:06]

AND THE ENDING GENERAL FUND BALANCE IS $207,297.24 WHICH WE FIGURE GIVES SMALL AMOUNT OF FLEXIBILITY TO THE CITY MANAGER.

ON THE FLEXIBLE HIRING FREEZE. SO MOVED. SECOND.

OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. YOU KNOW.

I WAS HOPING THERE'D BE A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPROMISE ON THIS.

YOU HAVE ONE THAT'S TRYING TO SAVE SPENDING 0.

YOU KNOW THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO ON THE GENERAL FUND AND YOU GUYS ARE USING UP EVERYTHING BUT 200K AND IT'S PRETTY WIDE DIFFERENCE.

I WAS HOPING THERE COULD BE SOME INTEGRATION OF THOSE TWO AND COMING UP WITH SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE.

AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE HOW WE'RE ENDING UP HERE.

I KNOW YOU TOOK SOME OF THE INPUTS, BUT IT WAS COST ITEMS, NOT NECESSARILY SAVINGS ITEMS. SO I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN THAT MOTION. BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE.

YEAH. AND COUNCILMAN WALLER YOU HAVE YOUR HAND UP? YEAH. AS THE ONE PERSON WHO DIDN'T TALK TO ANYBODY, I BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, CAME UP WITH SOME OF MY OWN IDEAS.

A LOT OF THEM ACTUALLY OVERLAP WITH BOTH OF THE TWO MOTIONS.

SO I'M, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT TURNS INTO THE COMPROMISE OR NOT.

I'LL JUST SORT OF GO DOWN THE LIST OF, INSTEAD OF I DON'T HAVE A SPREADSHEET SINCE I FIGURED WITH TWO COMPETING SPREADSHEETS, A THIRD WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO HARD TO COMPREHEND.

I WAS LOOKING AT TWO WEEKS OF FREE PARKING FOR THE RIVIERA VILLAGE THIS YEAR, WHICH WOULD BE AN EXTRA $25,000 OVER THE 25 THAT WE HAD BEFORE.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE KEPT THE ESPLANADE CLEANING THE ALTA VISTA FENCE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS ON MY LIST FROM TALKING TO A LOT OR HEARING FROM A LOT OF CONSTITUENTS $19,000 FOR ONE MORE CROSSING GUARD AT PROSPECT AND AVENUE G, BECAUSE I'M HEARING A LOT ABOUT THAT.

I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT OFF THE BAT, I'M NOT VERY I'M NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THAT.

JUST BASED ON ALL THE DELIBERATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON, I APPRECIATE YOU STANDING UP FOR IT, BUT I THINK WE GOT ANOTHER PROCESS GOING ON. YEAH.

AGAIN, AGAIN, THESE ARE THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING.

YEAH. I'M JUST I'M JUST FLAGGING THAT AS. SURE THING.

THOSE ARE ONE OF MY RED FLAG. I WASN'T SO SURE ABOUT THE $90,000 FOR THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BIKE PATH LIGHTING.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT IT SEEMED LIKE FOR SIX LIGHTS, EIGHT LIGHTS, WHATEVER IT WAS, SIX LIGHTS.

IT'S LIKE, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR SIX LIGHTS, BUT THAT'S NOT MY DISTRICT.

I'M NOT UP THERE AT NIGHT. SO I CAN'T SAY STRONGLY, YOU KNOW, HOW BADLY THAT'S NEEDED.

IT WAS $15,000 A LIGHT. IT IS. YEAH IT IS 15.

IS OUT OF THE QUIMBY FUNDS. ON THE BOLLARDS I WAS AGREEING.

I THINK JUST TO BE CLEAR, I THINK ON THAT I'M THE INTENTION IS FOR US TO TRY TO FIND GRANT FUNDS FIRST.

WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WE'RE SUCCESSFUL IN CLOSING THAT GAP WITH THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BIKE PATH.

SO I'M STILL HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN FIND GRANT FOR THAT.

ON THE NORTH REDONDO OR ON THE BOLLARDS. IF ORIGINALLY I HAD SAID, YOU KNOW, NO TO THE BOLLARDS, BUT IF WE CAN SORT OF PUT IT ON DELAY, IF 4 OR 5 MONTHS FROM NOW WE SAY, HEY, LOOK, THIS THING'S PERMANENT.

IF, IF THE FARMERS MARKET IS 100% PERMANENT, I WANT THOSE.

BUT IF FIVE MONTHS FROM NOW THEY GO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT, THEN WE JUST PUT IN $40,000 WORTH OF BOLLARDS SO THAT WE CAN OCCASIONALLY CLOSE THE STREET FOR A FAIR OR SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, I WILL TELL YOU ON THE GPAC THAT STREET WAS IDENTIFIED AS A PARKLET.

WHERE THE IDEA WAS CLOSE THE STREET, PAINT IT GREEN, PUT ON SOME, PUT IN SOME BENCHES AND SORT OF SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

DOES IT ACTIVATE? SO I THINK THE FARMERS MARKET IS A MUCH BETTER SOLUTION THAN MAKING IT A PARKLET LIKE THAT THEY WERE LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THERE. BUT ONLY IF IT REALLY IS GOING TO SUCCEED IS DOING GREAT NOW.

AND I REALLY DO THINK IT WILL SUCCEED. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO SPENDING THE MONEY.

BUT JUST ON DELAY, I DON'T WANT TO PUT IT SAY, OKAY, LET'S START SPENDING THAT IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO.

ON THE, THE WAYFINDING SIGNS. I'M A LITTLE BIT MIXED ON THAT, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS TALKING TO SOMEBODY ABOUT IS THAT EVEN IF IT COSTS US A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY, RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE REDONDO BEACH SIGN BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE COMING HERE FOR THE OLYMPICS.

[02:55:01]

WHICH ONES WERE THOSE? WELL, THE WAYFINDING SIGNS.

BUT ALSO THIS THEN GOES INTO THE BENCHES, SOME OF THE NEW THINGS THAT THEY ADDED ON THEIR MOTION THAT WEREN'T CONSIDERED BEFORE.

CAN I JUST SAY PEOPLE ARE ALREADY COMING FOR THE WORLD CUP. THEY'RE ALREADY COMING FOR THE WORLD CUP. IT'S TOO LATE FOR THEM. ON A, ON A GAME DAY JUST CHECK OUT WALK AROUND THE PIER.

YOU SEE PEOPLE IN JERSEYS ALL OVER. SO IF WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT REDONDO BEACH SIGNS AND IT MIGHT BE NOT SAVING THE MONEY THAT WE COULD BE SAVING BUT IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT SO THAT MAYBE SOME OF IT'S DONE BY THE TIME SUPER BOWL COMES.

AND BY THE TIME THE OLYMPICS ARE HERE, WE REALLY NEED TO BE ON OUR ON OUR BEST FOOT RIGHT THERE.

SO I'M ACTUALLY I'VE CONVINCED I, MY WRITTEN NOTES WERE NO TO THE WAYFINDING, BUT I THINK BASED ON MY ARGUMENT ABOUT MAKING IT SHINE, I THINK WE NEED TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY, SPEND THAT EXTRA $96,000 OR WHATEVER IT WAS.

AND DO THE THINGS TO MAKE THE ESPLANADE LOOK GOOD.

MAKE THE PIER LOOK GOOD, MAKE THE HARBOR LOOK GOOD.

IT MAY MEAN THAT THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP THAT COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE CAN THINK ABOUT AND SAY, HEY, WE NEED THIS. THIS IS THE TIME TO DO IT.

AND IF IT MEANS THAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND DOWN A LITTLE BIT OF THAT MONEY THAT WE WERE TRYING TO PUT BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND, BEAUTIFICATION IS THE PLACE TO DO IT MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT HAVE THE DIRECT ROI.

THE PARKING STUDY ON AVIATION I THINK THAT'S NEEDED BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO HELP US WITH, LIKE YOU SAID, THE BIKE PATH PARKING ISSUES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HOPEFULLY HAVE UP THERE.

AND THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING THAT YOU HAD IN THERE THAT I DON'T THINK I WROTE DOWN.

LET ME LOOK AT YOUR LIST. THE BIKE PATH WAS GOOD.

I WAS GOOD WITH THE BIKE PATH. THOUGHT YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE ON AVIATION OR ARTESIA.

I DON'T SEE IT HERE. IT WAS ONE OF YOUR NEW ONES.

CAN YOU REPEAT THAT COUNCIL MEMBER? DID YOU HAVE A NEW THING FOR AVIATION OR ARTESIA IN YOUR? I DON'T. I DON'T HAVE A NOTE HERE. NEW THING NO, WE JUST HAD THE FUNDING, THE TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC PARKING STUDY.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE MONUMENTS? MAYBE. I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THE MONUMENTS. I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE, BUT I DIDN'T TAKE A NOTE ON IT, SO I DON'T SEE IT HERE. BUT I'VE CONVINCED MYSELF THAT I THINK IT IS TIME TO SPEND ON THOSE MONUMENTS SO THAT THE CITY LOOKS AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE FOR TOURISTS THAT ARE STARTING TO COME INTO OUR CITY ALREADY. BUT OBVIOUSLY THE LANDSCAPING AT JUANITA AND CAMINO REAL.

I WAS HAD ON MY LIST AND ESPLANADE POWER WASHING IS DEFINITELY NEEDED.

IT TOOK THEM TWO DAYS TO DO THEIR DEEP CLEAN.

YOU KNOW? I SAW THE CREW OUT THERE AGAIN THIS MORNING DOING FINISHING UP LAST WEEK'S DEEP CLEANING BECAUSE IT WAS THAT BAD.

BECAUSE IT HAD, THEY DO IT GENERALLY QUARTERLY, BUT A LITTLE BIT MORE OFTEN DURING THE SUMMER.

BUT IT WAS, IT WAS A WARM DAY AND IT GOT, IT GOT PRETTY BAD.

SO IS ANYBODY THAT GOES DOWN THERE KNOWS IT GETS BAD QUICKLY.

SO THE MORE WE DO IT, THE BETTER. I DID HAVE PEOPLE REACH OUT AND SAY, HEY, WHAT ABOUT AV OR WHAT ABOUT ARTESIA? AND FUTURE BUDGET. IS PRODUCING REVENUE. YEAH, I AGREE, ARTESIA COULD USE IT.

THERE ARE PLACES WHERE I, YOU KNOW, I DID THE DINE AROUND ARTESIA AND I NOTICED A FEW PLACES, BUT. IT DOES GET POWER WASHED OCCASIONALLY. BUT IT'S NOT.

IT'S NOT AS MUCH. AND THAT MIGHT BE ANOTHER THING TO LOOK AT IS IF THE 14,000 IS BEING ADDED TO THE POWER WASHING BUDGET AND ESPLANADE ISN'T THAT BAD. YEAH SPREAD IT AROUND, DO IT IN OTHER PLACES.

I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE. OTHERWISE I DON'T THINK I DISAGREED ON THE PARK BENCHES, THE WHEELCHAIR, THE TEEN LIFT I THINK IS VITAL. THAT'S THE TEEN CENTER.

THE WHEELCHAIR LIFT AT THE TEEN CENTER I THINK IS VITAL.

YOU THINK WHAT? IS VITAL. WE NEED TO DO THAT.

THAT JUST, YOU KNOW, FROM ACCESSIBILITY, FROM GETTING KIDS MORE INVOLVED IN THE ARTS USE OF THAT FACILITY.

I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S LONG OVERDUE.

SO I THINK I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT FOR NOW UNLESS I.

LET'S SEE WHAT THE DISCUSSION IS AND THEN MAYBE I'LL REMEMBER THE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO SAY,

[03:00:01]

BUT I DIDN'T TAKE A NOTE ON. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. JUST A QUICK, QUICK CORRECTION IF I MAY. LIGHT UP 2B.

I TYPE SOMETHING IN THE WRONG BOX. I PUT DELAY IMPLEMENTATION UNTIL TRIAL PERIOD CONCLUDED SUCCESSFULLY DOWN HERE AS TO BRR 44. BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY PERTAINS TO BRR 42 FOR THE BOLLARDS FOR THE NRB FARMERS MARKET.

SO RELOCATING IT HERE. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. THE MOTION IS SO AMENDED.

SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER FOR GOING THROUGH ALL OF THOSE. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU STEP BACK FOR A MOMENT YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT TWO BUDGETS. AND I THINK WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON ARE BOTH ARE FRUGAL.

LIKE WE'RE BOTH SENSITIVE TO THAT. THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN, YOU KNOW, HOW FAR TO GO, HOW EXTREME AND NOT. BUT I THINK THEY'RE BOTH MADE IN GOOD FAITH WITH VERY SIMILAR PHILOSOPHIES UNLIKE, YOU KNOW, OTHER CITIES OR OTHER TIMES WHEN IT, YOU KNOW, THAT WASN'T THE CASE.

I THINK THERE'S SOME COHESIVENESS. YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENCE, IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT IS THE FOCUS ON INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, ITEMS THAT SEEMED ESSENTIAL, IMPORTANT TO DO FOR THE CITY.

AND I KNOW WE'VE TRIED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, REALLY HAVE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION EVERY PART OF THE CITY, EVERY DISTRICT, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST. I MEAN, WE'RE AT THE WATERFRONT, WE'RE AT THE RVA, WE'RE CENTRAL REDONDO, NORTH REDONDO. JUST TAKING EVERYTHING INTO CONSIDERATION.

SO THERE WAS CERTAINLY AN ATTEMPT TO BE INVOLVED AND KIND OF SHARING WITH THAT.

AND YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME THINGS LIKE YOU KNOW, WE COULD WAIT AND DO NOTHING ON SOME OF THIS STUFF.

YES. BUT IT'S KIND OF A GOOD TIME TO MAKE REDONDO SHINE.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, LET'S DO IT. LET'S GET THESE ITEMS DONE NOW.

OTHERWISE THE CITY COULD HAVE A PROBLEM FROM, YOU KNOW, LOOKS AND FEEL AND TO A POINT THAT WAS RAISED EARLIER TO JUST BE MORE EXPENSIVE. LIKE, MAN, I WISH WE HAD TAKEN CARE OF THE BENCHES ON THE WATERFRONT ON THE PIER.

BACK, YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR. NOW, HOW MUCH IS IT? SO SOME OF THIS, YOU KNOW, IS TIME SENSITIVE IN THAT RESPECT.

BIG PICTURE. THE OTHER DIFFERENCE IS BUT I DON'T, I DON'T FEEL DISAPPOINTMENT.

I, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD SOME ITEMS THAT WE DIDN'T FULLY AGREE ON YET.

I THINK WHAT WE'VE PRESENTED, WHAT WE'VE CONTINUED TO INCLUDE TONIGHT IN OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, WE FEEL THAT ALL OF US CAN BE PROUD OF. AND THAT'S REALLY THE DISTINCTION.

SO THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU. I, YOU KNOW, I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU THAT THIS IS A MORE COLLABORATIVE COUNCIL AND THERE'S NOT STONE THROWING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THERE'S NO TWO TOTALLY OPPOSED FACTIONS.

I DISAGREE A LITTLE BIT TO SAY THAT THINGS ARE ESSENTIAL.

TO ME ESSENTIAL IS THE CITY CAN'T FUNCTION WITHOUT IT.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE WHAT WE SHOULD DO VERSUS WHAT'S NICE TO HAVE WHAT VERSUS WHAT WE.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WAY OF GRADING IT.

AND, AND I, YOU KNOW, IT, I, SEE THAT YOU ADDED SOME OF THE STUFF THAT CAME FROM COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC AND CASTLE'S INPUT, BUT THEY WERE ALL ON THE COST SIDE.

WISH THERE WAS SOME MOVEMENT TOWARDS A LITTLE BIT TOWARDS THE MIDDLE ON SAVINGS.

THEY WERE AT 800K I THINK IN THE END. AND YOU'RE AT 200K, SO THAT'S A 6K.

600. 600 VERSUS 200. 600 VERSUS 200. SO YOUR 400K APART, WHICH I GUESS.

WELL THAT'S A PRETTY BIG DELTA. IT'S $131 MILLION BUDGET.

IT'S NOT A VERY BIG DELTA FOR THE DISCRETIONARY AMOUNT THAT WE HAD TO EXPEND.

IT'S A, IT'S A BIG PERCENTAGE. SO. WITH. OKAY.

COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI. COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC.

YES. IF YOU COULD LIGHT UP ONE OF MY 1B. YEAH, I THINK 1B YES.

JUST IN RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE DISCUSSION IN OUR PROPOSED BUDGET, I'VE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED OR.

ITEMS THAT WE MAY DISAGREE ON. SO WE CAN KIND OF GO THROUGH THEM AND COME TO MAYBE SOME AGREEMENT.

I'VE ADDED SOME THINGS THAT WERE IN YOUR BUDGET AS WELL.

SOME THINGS I DID NOT. AND I'M HAPPY TO TALK.

[03:05:03]

TO SPEAK TO THAT. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE BENCHES ON THE, THE PIER, YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL JUST BE MORE EXPENSIVE LATER, WHICH IS ENTIRELY TRUE.

AND THIS IS THE TRAP WE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH OUR FACILITIES RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE NOT SAVING FOR THEM AND WE HAVE NO PLAN TO.

AND SO I THINK THAT THAT MAY JUST BE LIKE A PHILOSOPHY DIFFERENCE THAT WE'RE APPROACHING THIS WITH.

NOT NECESSARILY IF I CAN RESPOND TO THAT. YEAH.

SO I'VE INSISTED ON KEEPING THESE FACILITIES ON OUR FUTURE STRATEGIC GOALS.

ON OUR STRATEGIC PLAN IN THE LAST TWO SESSIONS, WITH THE IDEA BEING WHEN WE GET SOME MORE CERTAINTY AS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE POWER PLANT SITE, WHAT DIRECTION THAT'S MOVING IN, MAYBE WE CAN DO A LEASE REVENUE BOND THAT DOESN'T IMPACT THE RESIDENTS.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. AGAINST OUR REAL ESTATE AND FINANCE.

A MAJOR UPGRADE TO CITY HALL AND THE PUBLIC, THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY, PUBLIC WORKS YARD.

MAYBE WE, YOU KNOW, SO, SO THAT'S, THAT'S ONE OF THE OPTIONS.

AND MAYBE ONCE WE GET BRAND NEW FIRE STATIONS AND POLICE STATIONS, THE RESIDENTS ARE WILLING TO CHIP IN $20 MILLION FOR A NEW PUBLIC WORKS YARD BECAUSE THEY REALIZE AND SEE HOW CRITICAL PUBLIC WORKS IS TO THE OPERATION OF OUR CITY.

SO IT'S DEFINITELY A THOUGHT THAT I'VE HAD AND HAVE KEPT IN THE FOREFRONT OF MY HEAD.

BUT WE'VE GOT TO SEE PROGRESS ON THOSE BONDS WE'VE ALREADY, YOU KNOW, PROCURED OR THAT WE'RE PROCURING AND THAT WE'RE STRIVING TO BUILD THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH BEFORE WE UNDERTAKE MORE FUNDRAISING THROUGH ANY TYPE OF BOND.

YES. I THINK GENERALLY I AGREE WITH YOU. BUT WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT THE WAY WE'VE KIND OF APPROACHED THIS IS EVERY ITEM THAT WE WOULD TAKE SPENT, WE WOULD PULL FROM THE GENERAL FUND IN THIS BUDGET.

THE QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, IS THAT MONEY THAT WE'RE WILLING TO TAKE OUT OF OUR RESERVES TO SPEND? BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE HIGHLIGHTED IN DISCUSSION, MAYBE SOME DISAGREEMENT. PARKING METER PASS, WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO TO? YOU WANT TO GO TO 2.25? SHE'S GOT THE FLOOR. YEAH.

I MEAN, I WOULD SAY WE TALKED ABOUT ALIGNING IT WITH THE PARKING METER INCREASE.

SO 2.15 WAS PROPOSED. I THINK 2.20 IS WHAT IT WOULD BE COMMENSURATE WITH THE.

2.20. I MEAN, NEGLIGIBLE. AND AGAIN, I DID ACCOUNT FOR A REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF PASSES.

LAST TIME WE INCREASED IT. IT REDUCED 100. 100 PASSES.

THIS REDUCES IT BY 200. SO THIS CALCULATION. WOULD BE.

SO YOU'RE SAYING 1500 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PULL PERMITS FOR IF YOU GO UP TO 2.20 THEN THAT'S $25, $25 TIMES 1500. 37,500. 37,500. BUT TO BE CLEAR, WE'VE GOT TO RUN.

SO I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO BE CONSERVATIVE WITH THIS FIGURE.

BUT WE. I THINK SOLD OVER 1700 PASSES LAST YEAR.

IF WE IF WE DROPPED TO 1500 TOTAL SOLD, WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY GO BACKWARDS IN REVENUE.

SO WE HAVE TO BE WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE RUNNING THIS MATH CAREFULLY.

RIGHT. IF WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE FEE, I THINK WE HAVE TO STRIVE TO INCREASE IT TO A LEVEL WHERE WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO SUSTAIN A COMPARABLE NUMBER OF TOTAL SOLD. RIGHT. BUT I DON'T THINK WE'VE REACHED THAT YET.

WE HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IT. WE HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IT YET.

RIGHT. AND I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. I THINK THERE IS VERY GOOD RATIONALE TO THE ASSUMPTION THAT WE SHOULD BE ADJUSTING THIS FEE COMMENSURATE WITH THE OVERALL INCREASE IN PARKING METER RATES, BECAUSE PRESUMABLY THAT'S WHY PEOPLE BUY THIS PASS.

BUT IF WE ASSUME THAT THERE'S A REDUCTION OVERALL PASSES, OUR REVENUE ESTIMATES WOULD NEED TO GO DOWN, NOT UP. RIGHT. SO RIGHT NOW THE PASSES ARE $195.

SO IT TAKES ROUGHLY 200 HOURS AT A METER TO PAY FOR ONE.

OR 100 HOURS AT A METER TO PAY FOR ONE ANNUAL PARKING PASS.

SO WE'RE JUST INCREASING IT BY THAT SAME AMOUNT. SO THAT'S THE 2.20.

RIGHT. SO AGAIN, THAT'S, THAT'S ONE ITEM THAT WAS HIGHLIGHTED.

REMOVAL OF ONE WEEK OF HOLIDAY FREE PARKING. I HEAR THAT THAT'S NOT DESIRABLE, WHICH I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, BUT I DO WANT TO JUST LIST SOME OF THE THINGS FOR THE RIVIERA RIGHT NOW.

SO WE HAVE HOLIDAY FREE PARKING. WE'RE PROPOSING TO REPLACE THE STREET LIGHTING.

WE ARE PROPOSING SUBSIDIES FOR THE HOLIDAY EVENTS, THE HOLIDAY STROLL AND THE HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREAT AND SUMMERFEST ALL IN THE RIVIERA

[03:10:03]

VILLAGE. SO I THINK WHEN YOU START LISTING THEM TOGETHER, THERE'S A POCKET OF SUBSIDY THAT IT STARTS ADDING UP THAT IS NOT DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT. AND ONE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO HAVE A HOLIDAY STROLL IN DISTRICT 3.

WE COULD TO HAVE IT. WELL, THE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

THE KING. THE KING HARBOR ASSOCIATION USED TO GET THE SAME FREE PARKING THAT THE RIVIERA VILLAGE DID.

AND THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS HAVE ASKED IF THAT'S EVER COMING BACK.

SO, I MEAN, IN TERMS OF REINVIGORATING THE HARBOR, WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

AND WE SAW THE MEMBERS OF THE KING HARBOR ASSOCIATION COME IN TONIGHT.

THEY'RE TRYING TO BE MORE ACTIVE. YOU KNOW, IF THESE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE KING HARBOR AREA, I MEAN, IN THE FUTURE, OBVIOUSLY NOT THIS YEAR.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SO.

I WOULD NOT OBJECT IF YOU CAME WITH A PROPOSAL FOR A COMMENSURATE FREE PARKING IN THAT AREA.

MAYBE NOT ALL THE LOTS. MAYBE WE COULD DESIGNATE JUST ONE LOT FOR THAT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT.

AND I MENTIONED THAT NOT TO LIKE PULL ALL THAT AWAY, BUT JUST TO LIST THAT WE ARE INVESTING IN THAT SPACE, CONSISTENTLY, ANNUALLY INVESTING IN THIS SPACE.

SO I KNOW THAT NRBBA HAD SENT US AN EMAIL ABOUT.

STOREFRONT IMPROVEMENT. STOREFRONT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

YOU KNOW, THAT THAT ISN'T INCLUDED IN HERE. THAT'S A GENERAL FUND SITUATION.

BUT THAT THAT IS SOMETHING IN THE BACK OF MY MIND.

RIGHT? SO JUST LISTING THAT OUT. SO WHAT I HAVE HERE IS MAYBE THERE'S A PROPOSAL WITH THE BID. CAN THEY FUND HALF OF THE LIGHTS? I HEAR FROM MR. KLEIN THAT WE REPLACED THEM ONCE BEFORE.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE DONE, BUT CAN WE SPLIT IT? REPLACE THEM ONCE. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL LIGHTS.

WE. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL INSTALLATION. THEY'VE NEVER BEEN.

THEY'VE NEVER BEEN REPLACED. SO THEY'VE BEEN THEY WERE REPLACED. REGARDLESS, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST GO AROUND.

AND THE POINT IS. CAN WE SPLIT THIS WITH THE BID? SO JUST SOME NEGOTIATION THERE. IF THERE'S. FOR THE FARMERS MARKET, I THINK WHAT WE THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT DELAYING THE IMPLEMENTATION, WHICH IS IN HERE.

THAT WOULD BE A DISCUSSION IF, YOU KNOW, THE PILOT PROGRAM GOES WELL AND WE'RE EVALUATING OUR REVENUE AND FUNDS AT THAT POINT. THE COUNCIL'S HAPPY TO DO SO.

I WOULD BE AMENABLE TO THAT. I THINK WE DISCUSSED THAT.

RIGHT. AND AGAIN THEY MENTIONED THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LOOKING AT USING THE PROFITS FROM THE MARKET TO REINVEST FOR NEXT YEAR.

HOW MUCH IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE? I DON'T THINK.

NOT THE FIRST YEAR, BUT. NOT THE FIRST YEAR, BUT NONE OF US KNOW. SO, YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF THE BOLLARDS OR THE STREET CLOSURES. YEAH. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR THIS AVIATION PARKING STUDY. YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO SAY? WELL, I WOULD JUST ASK THE CITY MANAGER, IS THERE MONEY IN THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL? CAN'T FUND IT FROM SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL.

COULD THERE BE GRANT FUNDS OR TRANSPORTATION RESTRICTED FUNDS TO SUPPORT THIS EFFORT LATER? POSSIBLY. NOT THAT PARTICULAR ACCOUNT. OR I GUESS OTHER GRANTS OR OTHER MONEY.

THERE COULD BE LATER WE'D HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, WE'D HAVE TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR A MEASURE M GRANT OR SOMETHING.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME, THERE WAS A PARKING STUDY DONE.

PART OF THIS WAS, IS BUILDING OFF THE PREVIOUS STUDY IN THE AREA THAT THE HEALTH DISTRICT DID.

WHICH IS WHY IT'S ONLY $55,000 SO. I MEAN, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN EXPLORE THAT COME BACK SIMILAR TO THIS, TO THE FARMERS MARKET WHERE YOU GUYS CAN, CAN LOOK AND THEN WE CAN AT MID-YEAR DECIDE IF THAT'S A. WELL, IT'S SIMILAR TO, I MEAN, WHAT WE, IT'S KIND OF THE THOUGHT, I THINK ON THE, THE LIGHTING UP AT THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BIKE PATH.

THE IDEA IS THAT IT. IT'S QUIMBY. IF WE CAN'T OBTAIN A GRANT, WE COULD.

WE COULD STRUCTURE THIS. IT WOULD BE THE SET ASIDE.

WE WOULD PRIORITIZE THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS FIRST IF IDENTIFIED.

AND THEN WE WOULD PIVOT BACK TO THAT AMOUNT. IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW QUICKLY WE WANT TO EXECUTE THE STUDY.

THE GRANT, YOU KNOW, PURSUIT OF GRANT IS GOING TO TAKE BETTER PART OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

[03:15:06]

SO THE PURSUING A GRANT IS GOING TO TAKE THE BETTER PART OF A FISCAL YEAR.

YEAH. THAT'S THE CYCLE. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD REVISIT AT MID-YEAR.

WE COULD. WE COULD. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW QUICKLY WE WANT TO EXERCISE THE ANALYSIS.

OKAY. OKAY.

SO THE RBPAC PANEL, I KNOW YOU HAD MENTIONED.

I SEE THIS AS. OH, SORRY. ESPLANADE. I SKIPPED.

RIGHT. YES. ESPLANADE. YOU KNOW, THIS ONE'S A HARD ONE BECAUSE WITH THE, WITH HOW MANY DOGS I SEE ON THAT? AND THE COMPLAINT IS THAT IT SMELLS LIKE URINE.

WE WOULD HAVE TO BE CLEANING THIS ALL THE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO NOT SMELL IT.

AND THERE'S. I IT'S A HARD IT'S A HARD ONE TO FUND.

BUT IF THAT'S A NO GO, THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO LET US KNOW.

IT'S A VERY, VERY WELL USED AREA BY DOGS AND BY PEOPLE.

AND YOU KNOW, AT ANY GIVEN TIME THE PARKING IS RELATIVELY FULL THERE, WHICH INDICATES THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING THERE AND WE WANT THEM NOT TO BE TOURISTS GOING BACK HOME AND SAYING, YEAH, I WENT TO REDONDO BEACH.

IT SMELLS LIKE DOG PEE. IF AT LEAST FOR ONE WEEK OUT OF THE MONTH, IT DOESN'T INSTEAD OF EVERY WEEK OUT OF THE MONTH.

IDEALLY, YEAH, LET'S, LET'S POWER WASH IT EVERY WEEK, BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT.

BUT IF WE CAN POWER WASH IT MONTHLY DURING THE PEAK MONTHS, MAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER AND THEN DURING THE RAINY SEASON, IT DOES WHAT IT DOES BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T. THAT WOULD EVEN, YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING AT THIS NOT AS WE'RE GOING TO WASH IT AT A CERTAIN TIME.

IT'S WE'RE ADDING TWO MORE WASHES TO THE CYCLE AND PUBLIC WORKS WILL USE DISCRETION TO GO, OKAY, WE GOT TO DO IT MORE OFTEN NOW WE CAN WAIT.

IT RAINED IN FEBRUARY. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT FOR THREE MONTHS NOW.

THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, ARE WE GOING TO TAKE MONEY OUT OF OUR RESERVES TO CLEAN THE ESPLANADE? WELL. MAYBE. YEAH. AS I SAY, YOU TAKE MONEY OUT OF RESERVES TO CLEAN YOUR REFRIGERATOR OUT OR ARE YOU GOING TO LET IT SMELL? IT'S. I ASK IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. RIGHT NOW IT'S ONCE A MONTH DURING THE SUMMER, RIGHT? AND ONCE. IT'S. ONCE A QUARTER IN THE OFF SEASON.

WE'VE BEEN GETTING TO IT ABOUT FOR TIMES A YEAR.

I THINK TYPICALLY WHAT THAT CYCLE LOOKS LIKE IS THERE'S A LAG BETWEEN THE FALL AND THE SPRING, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN WE GET. SO IF WE GET A RAINY FALL, RAINY WINTER AND A RAINY SPRING, WE TEND TO WE TEND TO CLEAN. THOSE FOUR CLEANINGS OCCUR KIND OF APRIL THROUGH OCTOBER.

IF IF WE GET A VERY DRY YEAR WE TEND TO HAVE MORE OF A PROBLEM WHERE WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO SUPPLEMENT.

IN AN IDEAL, IN AN IDEAL SCHEDULE, WE WOULD CLEAN IT STARTING IN, IN MAYBE WE HIT IT IN MARCH OR APRIL, AND THEN WE HIT IT 2 OR 3 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE SUMMER, HIT IT ONE MORE TIME IN THE FALL, AND THEN WE'RE DORMANT FOR SIX MONTHS DURING THE RAINY SEASON.

IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE WEATHER AND, AND KIND OF WHAT WE EXPERIENCE DOWN THERE.

WE KNOW IT'S SUPER EL NIÑO STARTED FOR THIS. YEAH.

NEXT YEAR I THINK THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, A FAIR ASSUMPTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET A LOT OF RAIN IN THE CERTAINLY IN THE WINTER PERIOD AND CANDIDLY.

I JUST QUESTION WHETHER TWO MORE IS GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

I MEAN, IF YOU'VE BEEN DOWN THERE AFTER A FRESH CLEANING, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

THERE'S NO DENYING THAT. OKAY. SO THEN.

ALL RIGHT. SO THESE YOU HAD MENTIONED THESE IN YOUR BUDGET PROPOSAL.

WHEN I MOVED THIS DOWN. YEAH. I MEAN TO GIVE THAT BACK.

OKAY. THIS ONE'S PUT IN. NO, NO, DON'T DELETE IT.

OH, I HAVE IT IN QUIMBY. I HAVE IT DOWN FURTHER.

DOWN. OKAY. SO I WILL REMOVE THIS.

[03:20:02]

ALL RIGHT. THESE ONES WERE NOT IN THERE. I DID NOT INCLUDE.

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN HERE, AVIATION PICKLEBALL.

YOU HAD SAID THAT YOU WANTED THE FULL $600,000.

I MEAN, WITH THIS PROPOSAL, IT'S. 560. 545. 545 AS OPPOSED TO 600 SO VERY NEAR THAT. AND THEN IT INCLUDES THE SOUTH LANDSCAPING AT SOUTH JUANITA AND CAMINO REAL FOR QUIMBY. AND THEN. WHAT WAS I GOING TO SAY? THE. THE ART AMOUNTS. I DIDN'T INCLUDE ART AMOUNTS HERE.

AND THAT WASN'T BECAUSE I'M NOT OPEN TO HAVING AMOUNTS HERE.

IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO DEDICATE A CERTAIN NUMBER TO THESE PROJECTS, I'M HAPPY TO PUT IT IN HERE.

WE DON'T NEED TO KEEP IT. JUST IN THE JOHN PARSONS ART ACCOUNT.

SO JUST LET ME KNOW. AND THEN I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW. AND I DO THINK THAT THESE DISCUSSIONS WHILE WE TALKED ABOUT.

MANY OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT I BROUGHT UP HERE HAVE TO DO WITH BETTER PREPARING OURSELVES FOR INCREASING REVENUE, UNDERSTANDING OUR COSTS. AND I THINK THAT'S NECESSARY FOR GOING FORWARD AND GOING INTO THE NEXT YEAR AND THE NEXT BUDGET.

SO THEY'RE NOT A COST IMPLICATION. AND, AND I'VE GONE OVER THESE WITH THE CITY MANAGER.

MANY OF THEM ARE ALREADY IN THE QUEUE AND ARE LINED UP.

SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT STICKS OUT, WE CAN DISCUSS THAT, BUT I, I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THEM IN THE BUDGET MOTION AS WELL AS THE FUTURE BUDGET PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS GOING FORWARD.

SO THAT WOULD BE AN AMENDED MOTION. SO I WOULD MAKE THIS SUBSTITUTE MOTION.

UNLESS BRAD THERE'S SOMETHING IN HERE THAT YOU WANT TO TWEAK? I'D BE OPEN TO THAT DISCUSSION. I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT AGAIN AND COMPARE IT.

CAN YOU GO SLOWLY GO THROUGH THAT. SO REVENUES I DON'T.

CAN WE PAUSE THERE REAL QUICK. CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE RECONCILED THE ASSUMPTIONS IN THE TWO MOTIONS? ARE THOSE. ARE THOSE CONSISTENT STEPHANIE? FOR.

THE REVENUES, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE REVENUES. SO. THE REVENUES OKAY. MAKING SURE THAT THOSE MATCH. ARE THOSE CONSISTENT? CONSISTENT WITH EACH OTHER. YEAH. YES. SO BOTH ASSUMPTIONS ARE THE SAME.

ARE YOU SAYING FOR THE FOR THE MSOS AND? YEAH.

FOR BRR. YEAH. FOR THE TWO MSOS. YEAH I PULLED IT FROM THEIR MOTION.

STRAIGHT FROM THEIRS? OKAY AND THEN. THE WORDING AND THE NUMBERS.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE REALLY WOULD BE THE, THE PARKING METER PASS, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN.

IF THAT'S A DIFFERENCE THAN WHAT I HAVE HERE.

HAPPY TO INCLUDE IT. I JUST THINK THAT FOR CONSISTENCY, IF WE'RE GOING TO RAISE THE PARKING METER, WE SHOULD RAISE THE THING. THAT'S OPEN. YEAH.

I DO SEE THE LOGIC IN INCREASING. YEAH. THE YOU KNOW, I'M RESISTANT TO DOING IT, BUT I SEE THE LOGIC IN INCREASING.

I'M RESISTANT TO DOING ALL OF THIS. INCREASE. WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING IT'S LIKE, I SEE THE LOGIC IN INCREASING THAT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I'M ASKING FOR SPENDING MONEY ON SOME OTHER THINGS. AND MOST OF THAT MONEY IS AFFECTING THE VILLAGE.

AND SO SOME OF THAT MONEY CAN GO TOWARDS SOME OF THE VILLAGE THINGS AT THAT POINT.

SCROLL DOWN TO THE EXPENDITURES NOW. THIS IS THIS FIRST SECTION IS THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES.

SO REMOVING THE ONE WEEK GOES BACK TO THAT. ANY.

AND I MEAN, WE CAN IF THAT'S LIKE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT, I CAN TAKE THIS OUT.

YEAH. HE WANTS TO KEEP THAT. YEAH, I WANTED TO.

I WANTED TWO WEEKS. SO WE COULD COMPROMISE ON TEN DAYS, MAKE IT 37,500.

WELL, IN HER MOTION, IT'S GOING IT'S PUTTING REVENUE BACK IN THE.

RIGHT. STRING LIGHT REPLACEMENT, I THINK, IS A 100% NECESSITY.

I HEAR I HAVE TO SPLIT IT WITH THE, THE BID, BUT.

RIGHT. WE CAN ASK ABOUT. YEAH, YEAH. YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK THE BID.

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEM. RIGHT. AND THEY'RE NOT HERE ANYMORE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE WATCHING ONLINE TO COMMENT LATER, BUT YOU KNOW, AS THEY.

[03:25:04]

AND MAYBE. YES. WELL I KNOW, BUT WE'RE SPRINGING SOMETHING ON THEM THAT I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T PREPARE THEM FOR TODAY.

AND MAYBE WE ASK THEM TO SPLIT IT. AND ALSO THAT GOING FORWARD, THIS IS NOT A COST THAT WE EXPECT TO BE CONTINUING TO FUND, BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. YEAH, YEAH. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IF IT'S A FUTURE DISCUSSION, AS LONG AS IT'S IN OUR BUDGET AND SOMETHING HAPPENS.

I THINK THAT'S THE IMPORTANT DISTINCTION. IS HOW IS THIS APPROVED? IS IT. IS THE $90,000 OF APPROVED IN THE CIP? AND WE'RE BEFORE EXECUTING THE PROJECT AND ASK THE BID ABOUT FUNDING HALF OF IT, OR IS IT NOT APPROVED AND THE DIRECTION IS TO ASK TO SPLIT THE PROJECT, OR ONLY 45,000 OF THE 90.

I WOULD ADVOCATE TO HAVE IT APPROVED AT 90,000, AND THEN ASK THE BID AND SEE WHAT WE CAN.

SO. WHAT THE CITY CAN NEGOTIATE. IT'S HARD. I GOT TO LIKE SWAP HATS ON THAT.

YEAH. YEAH. I MEAN, AND THEY'RE GOING TO WATCH THIS SO.

WE'RE PAYING 90 GRAND. THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER.

ASK COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER. DID YOU FUND THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS THAT NEED REPLACEMENT IN THE RIVIERA BID AND YOU'RE GOING TO SAY.

YES. YES. AND THEN. OKAY, WHY DO WE NEED TO THROW ANYTHING IN? SO. IT'S JUST. IT'S OUR STREET. OKAY.

ARE THE NUMBERS. WHAT'S THAT? FIX THE NUMBER.

WHICH NUMBER? SO WE'RE. OH, YOU HAVE IT IN IT.

WE'RE SPENDING 90. RIGHT. SORRY. I THINK THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT.

BECAUSE IF YOU PUT IN 45 AND THE BID GOES WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT.

THEY'RE GONE. AND THAT'S I THINK THAT'S. THAT'S A FAIL FOR US.

SO JUST. AND, YOU KNOW, AND THERE MAY BE OTHER DISCUSSIONS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE WITH THE BID.

YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE HAVING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE DINING DECKS OR THE PARKLETS, DEPENDING ON WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO.

RIGHT. AND I MEAN, I THINK THE DISCUSSION CAN BE WITH THE BID.

CAN BE MORE THAN THAT. SAYING, YOU KNOW, IT'S COMING FROM A FUND THAT IS MEANT FOR SO MANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE NOT DOING.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY PART OF THEIR BUDGET IS SUPPOSED TO GO TOWARDS BEAUTIFICATION.

NOW, WHETHER $45,000 OF THEIR BUDGET CAN GO TO THAT, I DON'T KNOW BUT.

IT'S NOT $45,000 EVERY YEAR BUT. IT'S ONE TIME.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO SCROLLING DOWN HERE. THE FARMERS MARKET.

THE FARMERS MARKET, I THOUGHT THAT WAS ACTUALLY $35,000 IN THE BRR.

BUT IF WE'RE DELAYING IT, I. YEAH. I THINK WE CAN CHANGE THE NUMBER INCORRECT HERE.

SCROLL DOWN. THE PARKING STUDY ON AVIATION. NOW THAT'S A NEGOTIATION WITH THE OTHERS AS WELL.

FROM MY STANDPOINT, I SUPPORT IT. BUT WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH REVISITING IT AT MID-YEAR? I'D BE OKAY REVISITING IT AS WELL. I FEEL LIKE IF WE DON'T SIGNAL THAT THAT'S THE PRIORITY AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DISCUSS IT AGAIN, NOT TO LIKE, I JUST DON'T THINK THE EFFORT MIGHT NOT BE AS EXPLORED.

RIGHT. SO I'M, I'M FINE HAVING IT BEING EXPLORED AND REVISITED MID-YEAR.

THE POWER WASHING, I'M GOING TO SAY IT THERE AND SAY THAT THE MONEY FROM THE PARKING PERMIT INCREASE IS GOING TO GO TO THE POWER WASHING IN MY HEAD.

YOU CAN EXPLAIN IT THAT WAY. CHEER FOR IT NOW.

OKAY. THE PANNEL REPLACEMENT OF THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER IS SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT REALLY MATTERS EITHER WAY ON THAT ONE. THAT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT A HILL I'M GOING TO DIE ON.

REBRANDING THE VEHICLES. I THINK NONE OF US SUPPORTED AND THE WAYFINDING SIGNS.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE OF VALUE FOR THE CITY FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE TOURISM THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING IN, MAKING THE CITY LOOK. I JUST DON'T KNOW IN THAT ACCOUNT, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.

SURE, SOMEONE'S GOING TO COME TO THE CITY AND THEY'RE GOING TO SEE BEAUTIFUL SIGNS.

BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE EXPERIENCE THAT'S GOING TO STAY WITH THEM NECESSARILY, OR EVEN THE BENCHES.

I THINK WHAT THEY DO HERE, HOW THEY'RE WELCOMED HERE, IS GOING TO BE WHAT THEY'LL BRING BACK WITH THEM.

OF COURSE, LIKE BEAUTIFUL, MANICURED THINGS WOULD BE OF A NOTICE, BUT I DON'T THINK THE VALUE IS THERE.

I DON'T THINK THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR THAT SPECIFIC THING IS GOING TO GET US, ESPECIALLY IN A FINANCIAL SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN NOW.

TO ME, IT'S THE FIRST IMPRESSION THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE OF REDONDO BEACH FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

IS GOING TO BE SEEING THAT. AND I THINK ALMOST TO THINK ABOUT IT OPPOSITE, YOU KNOW, WAS CONVINCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI'S WALK THROUGH THE PEER OF DISTRICT 2 EVERY DAY. WHAT THEY WOULD NOTICE IS THAT IF THE SIGNS ARE RUN DOWN, IF THE BENCHES ARE HALF PAINTED,

[03:30:07]

THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD NOTICE. I MEAN, IF IT'S NICE AND CLEAN, YES, THEY'LL SEE THAT IT'S NICE AND CLEAN, BUT IT WON'T DRAW THEIR ATTENTION. BUT IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, THINGS ON THE WATERFRONT ARE CORRODED.

THE SIGNS ARE FALLING APART. THAT'S WHAT THEY'LL SEE.

SO I MEAN, I COULD SEE THROWING THIS IN THE BENCHES AS WELL AT THE WATERFRONT.

JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION. YOU ARE CORRECT COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER THE IT WAS $35,000 FOR THE REMOVABLE FIXED BOLLARDS.

CAN I SAY I PUT $40,000 THERE BECAUSE IT SAID YOU NEEDED TO CONSULT SOMEBODY TO TELL YOU WHETHER THE BOLLARDS WOULD WORK.

RIGHT? IN THE BRR. IT SAID IT NEEDED TO CONSULT SOME SORT OF.

ADDING A BUFFER THERE. EXPERT. IS THIS A STUDY THAT.

IS THAT WHAT THAT IS ANDY? IT WAS LET'S SEE. FARMERS MARKET.

I THINK THOSE WERE THE. GOOD EVENING. ANDY WINJE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. YEAH, I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT JUST GETTING A TRAFFIC EXPERT TO ANALYZE THAT AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT SIZE AND RIGHT PROTECTION IN PLACE TO JUST PREVENT LIABILITY.

STAFF RECOMMENDS INVOLVING A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL TO DETERMINE OR CONFIRM THAT ASSUMPTIONS MADE ABOUT TRAFFIC RATING REQUIREMENTS IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES ARE ACCURATE, SO I ADDED $5,000. FOR THAT EXTRA WORK.

YEAH, I MEAN, MAYBE IT'S NOT $5,000, MAYBE IT'S $1,000 OR $2,000, BUT THAT IS IN THE BRR.

SURE. WELL, YEAH, I THINK THAT MIGHT BE IN ADDITION TO THE BRR, BUT YEAH.

I WASN'T SURE IF THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE 35 OR NOT.

OKAY. EITHER WAY, WE'LL LEAVE IT AT 40 FOR NOW.

BUT WITH THE DELAY. OVERESTIMATE OUR EXPENSES, UNDERESTIMATE OUR INCOME.

IT'S THE BEST WAY TO BUDGET. YEAH. SO IT'S THE WAYFINDING AND MONUMENT SIGNS, I GUESS IS THE QUESTION.

I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHERE COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE IS ON THAT.

WERE YOU CONVINCING YOURSELF THAT IT IS WORTHWHILE? OR WERE YOU SAYING HOW MUCH WERE THE BENCHES AT THE PIER? HOW MUCH IN THAT ON THAT TAB. IF YOU IF YOU GO BACK TO IT, IT'S ABOUT TO REPLACE EACH ONE IS $2,500.

AND THERE'S 50 OF THEM SO. BUT TO PAINT. TO PAINT IS $700 TO $1000 FOR EACH ONE.

AND THERE ARE 50 OF THEM. SO YOU CAN LOOK AT $50,000, BUT WE'RE FUNDING IT TO $30,000 RIGHT NOW AND PRIORITIZE THE REALLY BAD ONES.

AND MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE DO ANOTHER 20 OR 30 AND.

BUT IF THEY'RE TOO BAD, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THEM. YES.

RIGHT. SO I WOULD ADD THAT IN AND SAY CALL IT 130.

WHAT ABOUT REPLACEMENT OF THE MONUMENT SIGNS? THAT JUST LOOK BAD, THAT ARE RUNDOWN BECAUSE NOT ALL OF THEM ARE LOOKING BAD.

TO ADD THAT INTO THE NOTE OF THE ONES THAT LOOK, START WITH THE.

SO INSTEAD OF DOING ALL OF THEM. HARD OVER ON ALL OF THEM.

OR CAN WE DO THE ONES THAT LOOK BAD. ABOUT HALF OF THEM.

SO MAKE IT ONE. WE HAVEN'T, WE HAVEN'T. WE HAVEN'T FUNDED THE FULL AMOUNT TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM OR PAINT ALL.

COAT ALL OF THEM. SO IT'S NECESSARILY A PARTIAL.

NO, I MEAN FOR THE MONUMENT SIGNS. OH IT'S FOR THE MONUMENT SIGN.

YEAH. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TALKING RIGHT NOW. RIGHT THE MONUMENT SIGNS. YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE ONES IN SOUTH REDONDO UNCHANGED AND CHANGE THE ONES ON MANHATTAN BEACH BOULEVARD, WHICH IS THE WORST ONE? YEAH. HE'S SAYING BASICALLY, BASED ON.

CONDITION. HOW BAD THEY LOOK. I DON'T KNOW HOW, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY NOT MATCH AT THAT POINT.

THE CHEAPEST REPLACEMENT TO MAKE THE TRANSITION TO A UNIFIED LOOK ACROSS THE CITY.

RIGHT? THIS IS JUST REMOVING THOSE THE ALUMINUM SIGNS, REPLACING THEM, REPAINTING IT AND THE LIKE, REFRESHING IT. I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT YOUR $96,000 IS, RIGHT? RIGHT. OKAY. THAT'S IT. CITYWIDE AND IT'S EQUAL FOR THE SOUTH.

AND SO WE HAVE THIS. EVERYWHERE. WE HAVE THOSE THINGS.

WE DON'T WANT TO. I REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS. I WILL, BUT I'M QUESTIONING THIS.

CAN WE GET SOME PUBLIC COMMENT? AND THEN WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.

ALL RIGHT. THIS IS THE QUIMBY STUFF. YEAH. SO THE BIKE PATH.

PERRY PARK. PERRY PARK. LINE 71. HISTORIC IS TYPO.

OH. THANK YOU. HISTRIONIC. HISTRIONIC NO HISTORIC.

NOT HISTRIONIC TOO. KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. YES INFER.

[03:35:11]

AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM WE'RE PAYING FOR THE FOUR BENCHES INSTEAD OF.

THE SURPLUS OF THAT PROJECT USING THE ALL ABILITIES SURPLUS.

YEAH. AND COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI MAKE SURE YOU'RE COMPARING THIS TO YOURS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING GOT MISSED AS WELL. BECAUSE I KNOW TRYING TO CONSOLIDATE THE TWO.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING NOW? WHERE ARE YOU? WE'RE AT THE QUIMBY.

IN THE QUIMBY. QUIMBY FUND, SO EXTENDING, INCLUDING YOUR.

I SHOULD MAKE THIS RED. THE CULTURAL ARTS. SORRY, THE PUBLIC AMENITIES, ART COMMISSION'S? NO. THE FENCING BETWEEN PICKLEBALL. THERE'S A NUMBER OF NEW THINGS THAT.

THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT. YEAH. AND THEN WE HAVE THE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE RIGHT AMOUNT, BUT THAT'S JUST A BALLPARK GUESS. AND THEN ULTIMATELY ADDING THIS BACK TO THE PICKLEBALL.

AND THAT WENT DOWN BECAUSE IT'S LESS OF A SURPLUS BECAUSE OF THE CAMINO REAL AND JUANITA.

RIGHT. LESS AVAILABLE. AND YOU SAID THAT THE PICKLEBALL AT AVIATION IS ABOUT A TOTAL OF $1.5 MILLION. SO IT'S STILL NOT GOING TO BE FULLY FUNDED THIS YEAR. CORRECT? NO, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FULLY. CLOSER. OKAY.

SO YOU PREFER NOT FUNDING EITHER OF THEM FULLY THIS YEAR? EITHER OF WHAT? THE FENCING AT PERRY PARK. YEAH THE FENCING AT PERRY PARK IS NOT IN TERRIBLE CONDITION.

THERE ARE PARTS OF IT THAT ARE BAD, BUT IT'S NOT HORRENDOUS.

AND IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT ANYBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT DOES NEED TO BE BUDGETED AT SOME POINT IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO.

OKAY. WE COULD ACTUALLY. I DON'T WANT TO WORK ON YOUR MOTION BECAUSE I'M NOT ENDORSING IT, BUT WE COULD, WE COULD, WE COULD MOVE ON. IF YOU HAVE ADDED MONEY TO PERRY PARK FENCING, YOU CAN MOVE THAT TO AVIATION PICKLEBALL BECAUSE THAT IS OUR JOINT PRIORITY PROJECT. OKAY. SO IS THIS YOUR SUBSTITUTE MOTION NOW OR? WELL, THEN IF THAT'S THE CASE. THEN I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS OUT.

THEN 145 GOES TO PICKLEBALL? 145 GOES TO. THIS MOTION.

WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE ON THIS? 500 AND $645,000 GOES TO PICKLEBALL.

YEAH BUT WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE ON? IT DIDN'T CHANGE BECAUSE THAT WAS QUIMBY THERE.

YEAH, THAT WAS QUIMBY MONEY. RIGHT. THE PICKLEBALL EXTRA GOING TO.

577. HOW DID THE MONUMENTS GET FUNDED? YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY.

SOMETHING'S NOT ADDING UP. YEAH THE MONUMENTS DIDN'T GET IN HERE.

YEAH. THEY'RE THERE. THEY JUST DIDN'T TRAIL DOWN.

YEAH, YEAH. AND SHE ADDED THE BENCHES TO THE MONUMENT SIGN.

RIGHT. YEAH. TO A COUPLE, A COUPLE MATH THERE IN THE MIDDLE THERE, I THINK.

400. SO YOU CAME. YEAH WE CAME DOWN. BECAUSE WE'RE FUNDING THE MONUMENTS AND 145 PICKLEBALL BECAUSE WE KNOW IT'S A PRIORITY FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS IN DISTRICT 4 AND 5 SO.

IT WAS THIS. SO WE CAN SPEAK TO IT. IT'S REALLY HARD TO CONSOLIDATE BETWEEN THE TWO SPREADSHEETS IF WE CAN'T HAVE.

IS NICE IF WE COULD HAVE THEM SIDE BY SIDE OR SOMETHING.

BUT DO A SPLIT SCREEN. SO. I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS.

YOU GET THE PERRY PARK, TEENS CENTER LIFT. IT'S IN THERE.

THAT'S A LITTLE BIG. I'LL MAKE THIS BIGGER FOR YOU.

DALE PAGE PARK PICKLEBALL COURT MAINTENANCE $2,500.

THAT'S NOT IN THERE. YEAH, THERE'S A FEW. AND ACTUALLY, YOUR BENCHES AT THE HARBOR AREN'T IN THIS EITHER.

I DON'T THINK. THEY ARE. OH THEY ARE? YEAH, BECAUSE WE INCREASED THAT NUMBER TO 126.

OH, OKAY. THE BENCHES AT THE HARBOR, IN ADDITION TO THE MONUMENTS.

I DON'T LOVE THAT. THAT'S MAKING ME REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE, I GET IT.

SO IS THAT GOING TO BE YOUR MOTION? THIS IS MY SUBSTITUTE.

OUR SUBSTITUTE MOTION. WELL, MY SUBSTITUTE AND.

AND I'LL SECOND IT. DO YOU WANT? WHAT WAS THE? DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. $2,500 FOR THE. $2,500 FOR THE DALE PAGE PARK.

[03:40:04]

THAT WOULD COME OUT OF GENERAL FUNDS. YEAH. I'M SORRY.

WHAT WAS IT? TO FIX A CRACK A DALE PAGE PICKLEBALL.

THE PICKLEBALL. MAINTAIN IT. IT'S LIKE YOU GOT TO GET FILLED AND REFILLED TO TRY.

TO STUDY. CAN WE TAKE SOME OUT OF THE 145 IT WOULD STILL GIVE YOU 143, WHICH IS MORE.

IT CAN'T BECAUSE THAT'S. OH YEAH. WELL NO, THAT'S MAINTENANCE.

SO THAT'S NOT. MAINTENANCE IS NOT QUIMBY. YOU HAVE 45K FOR OTHER.

REGIONAL PARKS. REGIONAL PARK MAINTENANCE. OKAY.

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS MOTION? SO DO YOU WANT TO ADD THAT TO THE OTHER REGIONAL PARK MAINTENANCE 27? OR 25 TO MAKE 47? SO THE DALE PAGE CAN GET IN? TWO. IT'S GOING TO REDUCE THEIR PICKLEBALL IF THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT.

YEAH. I MEAN. YOU OKAY. PICKLEBALL SUBDIVISION TRUST FUNDS MAINTENANCE CANNOT BE FUNDED WITH SUBDIVISION TRUST FUNDS.

SO THAT WOULD COME OUT OF GENERAL FUNDS. YEAH.

WE'LL THROW IT IN FOR $2,500. NO.

YOU HAVEN'T PROVIDED DESIGN SERVICES FUNDING.

OH. MISCELLANEOUS. ALL DEPARTMENTS. NO. A $5,000? NO. I WOULD SAY NO. NO TREE PLANTING FUNDING? WE'RE TAKING 24, 20. 240 RIGHT? 240 IS OUT OF THE BUDGET FOR TREE TRIMMING.

I THINK WE SHOULD BE. YOU SHOULDN'T BE PLANTING MORE TREES IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO CUT THEM.

WELL, YOU DIDN'T THAT. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE MAINTAINING.

THE FORMULA THOUGH DIDN'T PICK UP THE 240. RIGHT? YOU DIDN'T. IT DIDN'T AFFECT. IT DIDN'T ADD IT HERE.

IT'S IT INDICATED THAT IT WAS HERE, BUT IT DIDN'T ADD TO THE GENERAL FUND OR CHANGE THE GENERAL FUND AT ALL.

BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO BE TRIMMING, YOU KNOW, LITTLE TREES, BABY TREES ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

BUT REMEMBER. THEY'RE GOING TO BE PART OF. BORROWED MONEY LAST YEAR.

YEAH I DIDN'T SEE A MANDATE FROM THE CITY MANAGER THAT THAT BE REPLENISHED.

HERS IS ONE OF THESE THINGS THAT EBBS AND FLOWS.

THEY DO POORLY. WE HAVE TO PAY THEM MONEY. WE HAD TO DO THAT NOW TWICE.

HOPEFULLY THE MARKET HAS CHANGED FOR THEM. WE'LL KNOW AT THE END OF THIS YEAR, DEPENDING ON HOW IT CLOSE OUT IN THE NEXT 14 DAYS.

AND HOPEFULLY THEN OUR CALPERS OBLIGATION PAYMENT WILL BE LESS IF NOT EXTINGUISHED.

HOPE ISN'T A STRATEGY. RIGHT, AND THAT AMOUNT COUNTED TOWARDS OUR.

NO IT'S NOT BUT I DO SEE YOU DO SEE THE STOCK MARKET.

WELL, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS OUR CHAIR OF OUR FINANCE COMMISSION IS RIGHT HERE TONIGHT, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS THAT ONE OF THE ISSUES WITH CALPERS IS EVEN IN GOOD YEARS JUST BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR PENSION LIABILITY VERSUS THE ASSETS THAT THEY HAVE FOR US, SOMETIMES EVEN IN A GOOD YEAR, WE STILL HAVE A NEGATIVE OR AN INCREASE IN OUR UNFUNDED LIABILITY.

SO WE'RE SORT OF STILL SINKING IN A HOLE, JUST NOT AS FAST.

BUT ALSO ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT FROM THE FINANCE COMMISSION WAS TO INCREASE OUR RESERVES.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE EFFECTIVELY, I THINK IT'S AN 8.8% RESERVE MINIMUM.

WHICH INCLUDES THAT. RIGHT. CALPERS. NO, NO. NO.

NO CALPERS. ECONOMIC CONTINGENCIES. 8.33%. AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT WE HAVE CALPERS.

RIGHT. AND THEIR SUGGESTED LONGER TERM WAS TO INCREASE IT TO THE 16.6%, WHICH EFFECTIVELY IS ONE MONTH'S.

ONE MONTH'S REVENUE VERSUS TWO MONTHS REVENUE.

SO PART OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS JUST, YOU KNOW, HAVE THAT CUSHION BACK IN THERE.

AND AGAIN THIS YEAR ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD IS THAT EVEN THOUGH WE WERE CONSERVATIVE IN OUR BUDGETING THIS TIME LAST YEAR HOTEL TAX DIDN'T MATERIALIZE. I THINK THE NUMBER OF HOUSES SOLD HASN'T BEEN AS HIGH.

WE WERE EXPECTING SOME NEW BUSINESSES, THE HOTELS DOWN IN DISTRICT 1 AND A COUPLE OF OTHER PLACES TO OPEN UP THAT DIDN'T OPEN UP.

SO JUST IN THE, YOU KNOW, BEING CONSERVATIVE AND SORT OF RIGHTSIZING OUR BUDGET.

AND THEN IF WE ARE PERFORMING BETTER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, I THINK WE CAN, YOU KNOW, EXECUTE ON SOME OF THESE SMALLER PROJECTS MID-YEAR AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE. BUT IN TERMS OF JUST SETTING OUR BASELINE FOR NEXT YEAR. RIGHT.

SO. CAN I, CAN I ASK A FAVOR REAL QUICK OF BOTH OF YOU? CAN YOU BOTH SEND YOUR CURRENT MOTIONS, SHARE THEM WITH STEPHANIE SO WE CAN LOOK AT THEM SIDE BY SIDE AND RECONCILE.

I'M STILL A LOSS OF HOW WE HAVE A $200,000 SPREAD.

THAT NUMBER SEEMS TO ME. SEEMS TO ME. SEEMS TOO HIGH TO ME RIGHT NOW.

THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT? THERE'S NOT THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE. I MEAN. RIGHT. IT'S AVIATION.

IT'S THE AVIATION STUDY. IT'S THE ASSUMPTION ON PERMIT FEES.

WE'RE NOT THAT FAR OFF. SOMEHOW THE MATH IS NOT JIVING FOR ME.

SO WE'VE GOT TO RECONCILE THAT. STEPHANIE MEYER.

[03:45:05]

IS THAT A MOTION OR ARE YOU? MEYER OR MEYERS? JUST ER. I MADE THIS MOTION. RIGHT. AND I SORRY.

I NEED A SECOND OR? OH, I'M SECOND. OKAY. OTHERWISE IT DIES.

YEAH NO. I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WAS ASKING SOMETHING ELSE.

SECOND. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

DO YOU GUYS WANT TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC OR? PUBLIC.

I GOT TWO HANDS UP. STAFF. PUBLIC FIRST PLEASE.

OKAY. HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC FIRST AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK. YEAH. SO. SO I THINK FROM THOSE WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE FROM THE PUBLIC, YOU'VE SEEN TWO. I WOULDN'T SAY DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED, BUT TWO DIFFERENT PROPOSALS HERE.

ONE'S MORE FRUGAL, ONE'S LESS FRUGAL. ACTUALLY.

SO CAN I RESPOND TO THAT MAYOR, PLEASE? QUICKLY? SURE. OUR BUDGET MOTION HAS NO RECURRING EXPENDITURES.

THEY ARE ONE TIME EXPENSES, AND THEY BUILD IN SYSTEMIC RECURRING REVENUE SO THAT'S ALL.

YEAH. ANYWAY, YOU HAVE TWO IN FRONT OF YOU TO ASK THAT YOU.

WE'RE OPEN TO ANY COMMENTS, BUT WOULD LIKE TO HEAR OPINIONS ON ONE VERSUS THE OTHER.

OR YEAH WHATEVER ITEMS. OKAY. SO WITH THAT, I'VE GOT THREE CARDS.

MARA SANTOS. MICKEY JOHNSON.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MARA SANTOS, CEO FOR THE REDONDO BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

AND I AM HERE TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP. THE CHAMBER HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 118 YEARS.

AND AS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, WE DO NOT HAVE MANY REVENUE GENERATING RESOURCES. ONE OF THEM, OUR MAIN SOURCES OF INCOME IS THE MEMBER DUES IN OUR SUPER BOWL 10K, WHICH HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 50 YEARS. THIS PAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE HAD ADDITIONAL COST FOR SAFETY MEASURES, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT OUR CITY MANAGER IS DOING HIS BEST TO HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET BY BRINGING OTHER STREAMS OF REVENUE TO THE CITY, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I THANK YOU BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I DO LIVE IN THE CITY.

HOWEVER, WITH THE STREET FEES, THE USAGE OF THE STREET FEES, THAT PUTS AN ADDITIONAL $36,720 OF COST TO THE CHAMBER ON TOP OF WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE.

THAT'S OVER $70,000 FOR A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION TO BE PAYING TO THE CITY AS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.

WHAT I'M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IS IF YOU CAN INCREASE THE FEE WAIVER THAT WE RECEIVE NOW.

AGAIN, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING YOUR BEST TO HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE HAVING THIS EVENT FOR OVER AT LEAST MAKE IT TO THE 50 AND EVEN MORE YEARS TO COME. AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, IT FEELS LIKE THAT WE'RE REALLY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH THESE FEES.

SO YOUR CONSIDERATION IS MUCH GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. MICKEY JOHNSON.

AND THEN JOAN IRVINE. AND THAT'S THE LAST CARD I HAVE.

BECAUSE YOU FROZE US ALL OUT. COLD IN HERE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS MICKEY JOHNSON, AND I SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BUSINESS ASSOCIATION.

NRBBA. WE'RE THE ONLY ASSOCIATION IN TOWN THAT HAS NO FUNDING FROM THE CITY.

AND TODAY. TONIGHT, I HEARD YOU SAY, LET'S MAKE REDONDO SHINE.

AND I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE REINSTATE THE STOREFRONT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, NOT THE $58,000 THAT IT WAS BEFORE, BUT $50,000, AND DIRECT IT TOWARDS NORTH REDONDO, WHERE WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT DIRECTED IN NORTH REDONDO SINCE 2017. COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI ASKED ME A PRETTY FAIR QUESTION ABOUT, ARE THERE ANY BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN THE STOREFRONT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM? AND WE HAVE HAD NO FUNDS, SO WHENEVER THEY'VE EXPRESSED INTEREST, WE'VE LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE BEING REDIRECTED TO A DIFFERENT PART OF THE CITY.

BUT I ASKED HIM IF WE COULD JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO SEE WHAT KIND OF INTEREST WE COULD GENERATE.

AND EVEN TODAY, I FOUND ONE BUSINESS THAT'S VERY INTERESTED IN IT, AND THEY WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT.

THE CITY'S ALREADY SHOWN A HUGE COMMITMENT TO PLACEMAKING, WITH A $480,000 COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC ART ON ARTESIA.

[03:50:08]

SO WHY DON'T WE CLEAN UP THE STOREFRONTS ALONG WITH IT? IT'S ONLY $50,000. THE RESPONDENTS TO THE CITY PUBLIC ART SURVEY SAID THAT THE THING THEY MOST ENJOY ABOUT ART IS MURALS.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE STOREFRONT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. WE'RE READY TO BE YOUR PARTNER, YOUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNER, AND WE WOULD BE REALLY GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER ADDING THAT $50,000 BACK INTO THE BUDGET.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. JOAN IRVINE. AND THAT'S THE LAST CARD I HAVE.

JOAN IRVINE DISTRICT 1. SO MUCH I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS, BUT I'LL HAVE TO LIMIT IT.

YOU KNOW, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL PERSONS AND CITY STAFF AND PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE CONFRONTING DIFFICULT FINANCIAL DECISIONS AS DISTRICT 1 CITY COUNCIL MEMBER BRAD WALLER STATED IN HIS RECENT NEWSLETTER.

GROWING CITY REVENUES WITHOUT ADDING TO THE BURDEN ON RESIDENTS IS ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITIES.

YET THE CITY CONTINUES TO REJECT THE OPPORTUNITY TO GENERATE MORE THAN $1 MILLION IN RECURRING ANNUAL TAX REVENUE FROM TWO REGULATED CANNABIS DISPENSARIES. TONIGHT, I WON'T ADDRESS AGAIN THE BOGUS YOUTH SAFETY THE WASTED $34,000 OF THE CANNABIS STUDY. I WANT TO FOCUS ON FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

THE CITY ALREADY SPENT MANY YEARS DEVELOPING REGULATIONS AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, AND THE FRAMEWORK IS LARGELY IN PLACE.

SO THE QUESTION IS STRAIGHTFORWARD. DO WE CONTINUE CENTERING SENDING TAX REVENUE TO THE NEIGHBORING CITIES, OR DO WE CREATE A REGULATED INDUSTRY THAT GENERATES REVENUE WHILE PROTECTING OUR YOUTH AND CONSUMERS? I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT CAN REALISTICALLY GENERATE MORE THAN $1 MILLION IN RECURRING ANNUAL REVENUE FOR THE CITY.

STARTING IN 2027. TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, REDONDO BEACH RECEIVES ONLY 1% OF THE 9.5% COMBINED TAX REVENUE COLLECTED FROM MOST BUSINESSES. CANNABIS STORES WOULD ALSO GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL LOCAL TAX REVENUE OF 3% TO 9%.

YOU KNOW, AND IT'S LOW BALLED AT $1 MILLION OF TAX REVENUE.

I MEAN, TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, THE BEACHLIFE FESTIVAL ONLY BRINGS IN 220.

2025 ONLY BRINGS IN. BROUGHT IN $218,500 IN DIRECT TAX REVENUE.

SO TO BE RESPONSIBLE, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO REEVALUATE TO BRING CANNABIS DISPENSARIES BACK INTO THE CITY.

THIS IS $1 MILLION. WE KNOW THAT AND THAT'S LOW BALLING IT AND WOULD START.

WE COULD START THAT IN 27. SO IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT IN 27.

AND IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DO THIS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

SO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. AND I THINK THE STUDY WAS BOGUS.

NO, A LOT OF US DIDN'T GET TO REVIEW IT. AND WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE MORE COMMENT. IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE CLEANING THE ESPLANADE, THEN DON'T ALLOW DOGS ON THE ESPLANADE.

THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED IN PARKS, SO DON'T ALLOW DOGS IN THE ESPLANADE.

AND THEN GUESS WHAT? THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN IT AND SEE WHAT RESIDENTS THINK ABOUT THAT.

OKAY. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS WAYNE CRAIG. I'M A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 1.

I WANTED TO REMIND YOU, BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EXPENSES AND FEE INCREASES IS SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT. A VERY GREAT LEADER IN OUR CITY SAID WHILE HE WAS ON THE COUNCIL AND AS MAYOR. AND HE BASICALLY SAID IN THIS WAY.

HE WOULD NEVER RAISE FEES OR CUT SERVICES UNTIL ALL REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES WERE EXHAUSTED.

NOW I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBERS BEHRENDT, OBAGI AND WALLER FOR PUSHING BACK ON PARKING FOR RIVIERA VILLAGE.

I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. WE REASONABLY ENCOURAGE THESE THINGS, BECAUSE I WAS KIND OF TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE WEREN'T, IS THAT THESE ARE SECTIONS OF THE CITY THAT GENERATE BUSINESS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE THAT. AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO CUT OFF SOMETHING THAT IS WORKING.

AND SO I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR DOING THAT.

AND NOW WE SPEND THIS $25,000 WE'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT, WE JUST DROPPED $40,000 ON A MARKETING THING FOR THE CITY, WHICH I'M AGAIN, I TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER.

I HOPE WE HAVE SOME RESULTS FROM THAT, BUT WE DROPPED $40,000 BUCKS IN THERE AND I WAS TOLD THAT WASN'T A BIG DEAL.

BUT SOMEHOW $25,000 IS. AND I REALLY THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE DON'T WE DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN THE CITY.

NOW MY OTHER FAVORITE TOPIC IS, YOU KNOW, BILL SAID HE WOULD LOOK AT ALL ALTERNATIVES.

SO I WANTED TO SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING CALLED OUT OF THE BOX. GOT A BOX RIGHT HERE.

[03:55:03]

AMAZON. MY FAVORITE TOPIC IN THE CITY IS WHY ARE WE SPENDING ALL THIS MONEY ON A GUN RANGE? $1.3 MILLION BUCKS. YOU KNOW, 200 OF THE GRANT OF THAT WE'VE ALREADY SPENT COULD HAVE PAID FOR THIS PARKING FOR WHAT? 08, 9 YEARS? RIGHT? NOW, I WAS TOLD AT THE LAST MEETING VERY PASSIONATELY.

AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A PERSON WHO WENT THROUGH A VERY GREAT TRAGEDY.

I THINK OUR GUN RANGE, BECAUSE IT HAS NO ROOF, IS A REALLY DUMB IDEA.

YOU KNOW, WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU BUILD A GUN RANGE WITH NO ROOF ON? IT TAKES A LOT OF NOISE. TERRIBLE THING. WELL, AND INSTEAD OF SPENDING $5 MILLION, WHICH WAS COMMENTED BEFORE TO BUILD A SUPPOSEDLY FREE $19 MILLION GUN RANGE. WHY NOT PUT A ROOF ON THE GUN RANGE? HOW MUCH IS THAT GOING TO COST? THAT'S YOUR PLAN B? NOW, I CAME UP WITH THAT IDEA AFTER TALKING WITH THE CITY MANAGER FOR FIVE MINUTES.

DID ANY OF YOU? I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO COST $5 MILLION TO DO THAT.

IN FACT, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE LESS THAN A QUARTER OF THAT, MAYBE UNDER, GOSH, OVER A MILLION WE HAVE LEFT.

WHO KNOWS? HALF OF THAT? WELL, THE REMAINING OF THAT CHUNK OF THAT MONEY, WHERE COULD THAT GO? IT CAN GO TO THE PROJECT YOU'RE TRYING TO FUND. LIKE I SAID, GOT TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

THERE'S OTHER ALTERNATIVES. WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT RAISING FEES SO HIGH.

PARKING ALONE I THINK IF I'M DOING THE ROUGH MATH THE LAST FOR YEARS, SOME OF THESE FEES HAVE GONE UP CLOSE TO 100% FOR THE AT LEAST THE PARKING PASS FEES.

WE NEED TO TAKE A STEP BACK, LOOK AT THAT BEFORE WE SPEND ANY MORE MONEY AND TO CUT SERVICES.

AND I THANK YOU AGAIN COUNCIL MEMBERS, BEHRENDT, OBAGI AND WALLER FOR FIGHTING FOR RIVIERA VILLAGE AND OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY THAT DO GENERATE MONEY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM? I HAD TO GO TO THE CAR AND GET A JACKET. THEY'RE RIGHT. IT'S COOL. MARK HANSEN MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, STAFF. I'M GOING TO SPEAK FIRST WITH MY CHAMBER HAT ON.

I ADDRESSED YOU AT ONE OF THE LAST MEETINGS ABOUT THIS.

26 YEARS I'VE OFTEN BEEN IN FRONT OF CITY COUNCIL OVER SOME OF OUR VOLUNTEER RUN EVENTS.

AND WHAT I WANT TO REMIND YOU IS THE CHAMBER'S ONLY GOT TWO EMPLOYEES.

EVERYTHING ELSE YOU HEAR ABOUT US DOING IS ALL DONE BY VOLUNTEERS.

SO A SPEECH I'VE GIVEN BEFORE FOR OTHER SMALLER EVENTS IS LET'S TRY TO RESPECT OUR VOLUNTEERS.

LET'S NOT NICKEL AND DIME THEM TO DEATH. THEY COME HERE AND WORK FOR US FOR FREE, AND THEN WE COME ALONG AND SAY, WELL, NOW WE WANT TO TAX YOU ON YOUR VOLUNTEER WORK YOU'RE DOING.

AND THERE IS A REAL DANGER OF LOSING THESE THINGS.

AT SOME POINT. I DON'T MIND GOING WITH MY KIWANIS HAT OR MY CHAMBER HAT DOING VOLUNTEER WORK, BUT AT SOME POINT, IF ALL THE MONEY IS GOING INTO THE GENERAL FUND, I MIGHT AS WELL COME GIVE YOU GUYS MY RESUME AND CHARGE YOU MY 300 BUCKS AN HOUR I NORMALLY CHARGE. SO LET'S BE CAUTIOUS. I'D LOVE TO SEE IF YOU GOT ANY WIGGLE ROOM WHEN YOU'RE DONE HERE.

IS DO SOMETHING TO AT LEAST SEND A LITTLE MESSAGE TO THE CHAMBER.

WE'RE ALL WATCHING THIS. JUST SHOW SOME KIND OF RESPECT THAT WE CARE ABOUT HAVING A CHAMBER IN OUR CITY.

CHANGING HATS, PUTTING MY BOATING HAT ON. THE I GAVE YOU GUYS A ONE PAGE LIST OF ALL THE THINGS WE WANT TO TRY TO DO IN THE HARBOR.

AND IT'S IMPRESSIVE. IT'S ONE HECK OF A LIST.

AND SO IT JUST SEEMED COMPLETELY ILLOGICAL TO BE NOT REFILLING THE WATERFRONT DIRECTOR POSITION.

I WAS READY TO GIVE A BIG SPEECH ABOUT THAT, BUT THE MAYOR FAIRLY EARLY ON SAID, WELL, HE COULD LIVE WITH IT AS LONG AS IT WAS TEMPORARY. SO I KIND OF HELD BACK ON MY REMARKS.

I KNOW THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT WHERE WE WERE GOING TO NOTE, WHETHER THAT IT WAS TEMPORARY.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE NOTE THAT BECAUSE LET'S GET BACK TO WORK ON THIS HARBOR NEXT YEAR.

NEXT UP IN YOUR REPORTS TODAY, YOU HAD A LITTLE BIT FROM THE HARBOR COMMISSION.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DIDN'T KIND OF HAVE THEIR NORMAL BIG MEETING.

THEY HAVE, BUT THEY HAD TALKED ABOUT IT VERY BRIEFLY IN APRIL, AND I NOTICED THAT THEY WANTED TO GET BACK TO WORK ON MOLE B, I THINK IT WAS LAST YEAR THAT WE NOTICED THAT SOMEHOW MOLE B HAD FALLEN OFF OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, AND WE WERE ASSURED, OH YEAH, THAT'D GET PUT BACK ON.

IT'S IN THERE AS A PLACEHOLDER, BUT THERE'S NO MONEY ASSIGNED TO IT.

AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING WE'RE GOING TO FIX THAT THIS YEAR, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD GET IT BACK ON THERE AND START FUNDING IT, BECAUSE THAT IS SOMETHING GREAT WE NEED TO DO FOR THE HARBOR.

AND FINALLY, THERE WAS A BUDGET RESPONSE REPORT ABOUT DOING AUDITS ON A COST RECOVERY BASIS.

I WANT TO RECOMMEND AGAINST THAT. 25 YEARS AGO, I WAS THE COMMODORE KING HARBOR YACHT CLUB.

WE HAD AN AUDIT AND THE AUDITORS WERE EITHER INCOMPETENT OR DISHONEST.

IT'S JUST LIKE THEY THREW EVERYTHING AGAINST THE WALL TO SEE IF IT WOULD STICK. I HAD TO TAKE THEM BACK TO SCHOOL AND TEACH THEM ABOUT OUR LEASE.

I THINK THERE'S A REAL DANGER IF THEY'RE OUT TO TRY TO MAKE A PROFIT OFF OF THE AUDIT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL? GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. EUGENE J.

SOLOMON REDONDO BEACH, CITY TREASURER. I'D LIKE TO WEIGH IN ON WHAT I'VE SEEN TONIGHT AND SOME OTHER THINGS, IF I MAY,

[04:00:02]

PLEASE. FIRST THING I'D LIKE TO BRING UP IS. I THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING BRR 48 INTO YOUR MOTION.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU FOR THE ADOPT A MOTION TONIGHT, WHICHEVER IT IS, TO PLEASE INCLUDE THAT.

WITH REGARD TO THE VAPOR WAKE THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.

WHEN WE GOT THE VAPOR WAKE DOG PREVIOUSLY THAT WAS FUNDED, A MAJORITY OF IT WAS FUNDED OUT OF THE ASSET FORFEITURE FUND.

IT WAS ABOUT $35,000. THERE'S ROUGHLY 80, $85,000 IN THAT FUND RIGHT NOW.

SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PERHAPS FUND A VAPOR WAKE DOG REPLACEMENT, THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO DO IT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP THAT I WOULD ASK YOU TO PERHAPS CONSIDER IN THE FUTURE IS CONSIDERING LIFT ASSIST FEES FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONSE TO PLACES LIKE THE KENSINGTON. THERE ARE MANY CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT ARE IMPOSING LIFT ASSIST CALLS FOR FIRE RESPONSES.

I KNOW CHIEF BUTLER HAS STUDIED THIS AND THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY KENSINGTON CHARGING US FOR THEIR SERVICE.

THEIR EMPLOYEES DO NOT HELP THEIR RESIDENTS WHO FALL.

SO THEY'RE TRANSFERRING THAT LIABILITY AND THAT COST ONTO US.

SO PLEASE CONSIDER A STUDY OR AN EXAMINATION OF LIFT ASSIST FEES GOING FORWARD WHEN IT COMES TO THE PARKING PERMITS.

MR. CRAIG IS CORRECT. FOUR YEARS AGO IT WAS $110 FOR RESIDENT FEE.

NOW IT WILL BE $220. I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST YOU'RE NOT CONSIDERING ALL THE VARIABLES HERE.

PEOPLE ARE BEING PUSHED, NOT TOWARDS METERS AND NOT PAYING FOR THE PERMITS.

THEY'RE BEING PUSHED INTO NEIGHBORHOODS AND GREATLY IMPACTING THE RESIDENTS QUALITY OF LIFE.

THEY COME HOME. THEY CAN'T PARK WHEN THEY GET HOME FROM WORK, INTO THE AVENUES, INTO THE LOWER DISTRICT AVENUES, ONTO CAMINO DE LA COSTA.

THERE'S A GREAT ELASTICITY OF DEMAND. I THINK WE HAVE REACHED.

I WOULD SUGGEST RATHER RECONSIDERING OR REEVALUATING THE COST THAT WE'RE CHARGING FOR THE DINING DECKS AND FOR THE SIDEWALK DINING.

WE HAVE A SITUATION RIGHT NOW WHERE WE'RE CHARGING $2 A FOOT.

RETAIL SPACE IN THE RIVIERA VILLAGE IS BEING ADVERTISED AT 10 BUCKS A FOOT, AND RESTAURANT IS BEING CHARGED EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT.

SO I THINK WE SHOULD GET A BETTER YIELD PER SQUARE FOOT THAT COULD PAY FOR THE DELTA IN THE PARKING PERMIT FEES OR COMPENSATE FOR THAT IF WE KEEP THEM WHERE THEY ARE, AND PERHAPS FOR THE LIGHTING IN THE RIVIERA VILLAGE AS WELL.

SO I WOULD SUGGEST PERHAPS LOOKING AT THOSE FEES IF POSSIBLE, OR ADD SOME VALUE IF YOU'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE PARKING PERMIT FEES FOR THE RESIDENTS, MAYBE EXTENDING THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT THEY CAN PARK SO THAT THEY PERHAPS WON'T SURRENDER THAT PERMIT AND TAKE THEIR CHANCES OR GO PUTTING IMPACTS INTO THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. SO INSTEAD OF MAKING IT 4 HOURS FOR RESIDENT PARKING PERMIT, MAKE IT 6 HOURS.

MAYBE THAT COULD BE A COMPROMISE FOR INCREASING THE FEE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I HAD A QUICK QUESTION ON THAT, MIKE. AND I THOUGHT WE TALKED TO LIFT ASSIST FEES.

IS THAT NOT? WASN'T THAT PULLED INTO THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE? THEY'RE BEING CHARGED AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE FEE FOR LIFT FOR ANY CALL OUT.

YEAH. WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS, IS KENSINGTON PAYING IT OR ARE THE ARE THE FOLKS THAT ARE RESIDING THERE WHO THEY CALL ON THEIR BEHALF PAYING IT? BUT WE ARE TENDERING AN EMS FEE OF 300 AND WHATEVER IT IS, $15.

EUGENE SAID THAT HE HAD TALKED TO THE CHIEF ABOUT THIS IS, IS HE? IS IT? LIFT ASSIST IS DIFFERENT. THAT'S JUST SO THAT WOULD BE IF THEY'RE CALLING EXCLUSIVELY TO PUT THEM BACK INTO BED.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WE'RE SIMPLY CHARGING AN EMS FEE WHEN WE ARRIVE ON SCENE FOR THAT CALL.

SO. THEY'RE GETTING THAT ASSIST. SO EUGENE, ARE YOU ADDING ARE YOU SUGGESTING WE DO BOTH? A LIFT ASSIST AND THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE? OR IS THAT? IT'S A LITTLE IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WHEN THERE'S A RESPONSE AND THERE ARE PERISHABLES THAT ARE PROVIDED TO THE BY THE RESPONDING PARAMEDIC.

THAT'S THE PARAMEDIC. PARAMEDIC FEE. THIS IS A FEE WHERE SOMEBODY HAS FALLEN.

THEY'RE NOT REQUIRING ANY OF THESE PERISHABLES, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE LOCATION ARE TOLD NOT TO HELP THAT PERSON GET UP, PLACE THEM BACK IN A STABLE POSITION. SO RATHER THAN THE CARE PROVIDER HELPING THAT PERSON STAND UP OR BE REPOSITIONED, IT'S A SEPARATE TYPE OF RESPONSE. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

WHEN I SPOKE TO CHIEF BUTLER ABOUT THIS, IT WAS A YEAR AGO, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT SOME DEPARTMENTS CHARGE.

OKAY. OBVIOUSLY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S GOING TO KNOW A LOT BETTER ABOUT THAT THAN I DO.

BUT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT HAD BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE PAST. OKAY. THANK YOU. LET'S GET CLARIFICATION. YEAH.

I JUST CONFIRM WITH JASON. I THINK EVEN IF WE'RE NOT USING PERISHABLES IN THE CASE OF KENSINGTON, WHEN WE'RE THERE AND ARE BEING ASKED TO JUST PERFORM A LIFT, WE'RE ACTUALLY CHARGING THE EMS FEE OF 313.

SO WE'RE COVERING. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS BECAUSE WE DID DISCUSS THE LIFT, RIGHT? OKAY.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM? ANYONE ONLINE? YES. WE RECEIVED ONE COMMENT WITH NO POSITION INDICATED.

AND THEN WE HAVE DARRYL BOYD ONLINE. GO AHEAD DARRYL.

[04:05:13]

DISTRICT 3, 33 YEAR TAX PAYING RESIDENT. MR. BEHRENDT MENTIONED PUBLIC SAFETY ONCE AGAIN.

SO WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR TAXPAYING RESIDENTS TO QUALIFY FOR THAT? BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE IT AT NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE.

AND NOW WE CAN ADD TREES AT 190 STREET AND CATALINA AVENUE, BUT NOT FOR NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE, AS PROMISED. THAT'S PER MR. OBAGI'S PICS FROM EARLIER RESIDENTS OF 500 TO 600 NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE THANK PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSIONER CANDACE NAFISI VERY MUCH FOR SPEAKING UP FOR US ON 42726 AT THE PUBLIC WORKS SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION MEETING TO CITY MANAGER MIKE WITZANSKY. SPEAKING ABOUT NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE.

A FEW OF CANDACE'S COMMENTS. THE SOUND FROM THE STREET IS INSANE AND I HAVE ZERO PEACE.

I FEEL BAD FOR THE PROSPECT PEOPLE. THIS SHOULD TELL YOU EVERYTHING.

THIS ISN'T JUST A NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE PROBLEM.

THIS IS NOW A BOYLE HEIGHTS AND NEIGHBORHOOD PROBLEM.

IT'S A COMMUNITY AND CITYWIDE PROBLEM. IT'S A QUALITY OF LIFE PROBLEM.

YOU'RE ALL WELL AWARE OF THE ENTIRE SITUATION HERE AT 500 TO 600 NORTH PROSPECT, AS I'VE BEEN SEEKING RESOLUTIONS SINCE OCTOBER 24TH.

WELL DOCUMENTED TO ALL OF YOU. WE'VE RECEIVED NOTHING BUT SILENCE FROM OUR DISTRICT 3 COUNCIL MEMBER PAIGE KALUDEROVIC OVER THE PAST FIVE COUNCIL SESSIONS.

WHEN ASKED FOR HER SUPPORT FOR BUDGET REVIEW AND FUNDING FOR SOLUTIONS AND REMEDIATION TO CLEAR PUBLIC SAFETY AND NOISE NUISANCE PRIVACY ISSUES AND OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES. AT 500 TO 600 NORTH PROSPECT PICKLEBALL, DOMINGUEZ PARK, STATE ASSEMBLY CANDIDATE, POLITICAL CAMPAIGN PARTIES AND BEACH CITIES HEALTH DISTRICT AGENDAS APPEAR TO BE HER PRIORITIES OVER US.

TAXPAYING RESIDENTS AND HER CONSTITUENTS DESERVE MUCH BETTER.

YOU'VE RECEIVED THE DETAILS AND BENEFITS FOR RESIDENTS IN THE PUBLIC WHO YOU SAY YOU WANT TO PROTECT.

WE ARE ASKING FOR FUNDING FOR INSTALLATION OF SPEED TABLES ON MAIN NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE.

MR. OBAGI IS AFTER FUNDING FROM THE TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR DISTRICT 4.

WHY NOT FOR DISTRICT 3 AT NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE? INSTALLATION OF A SOUND AND SAFE WALL ON THE OUTER PERIMETER OF NORTH PROSPECT MEDIAN NUMBER 1.

WE SEE PROJECTS AND FUNDING APPROVED FOR LESS IMPORTANT SITUATIONS THAN THE NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE MEDIAN BEACH CITIES HEALTH DISTRICT HAS PLANS TO BUILD ON TOP OF US, FACILITATED BY THIS CURRENT MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

WITH YOUR APPROVAL OF FAR 1.25, BEACH CITIES HEALTH DISTRICT SHOULD HELP WITH FUNDING IF NEEDED, AS THEY ARE DEFINITELY A NEIGHBORHOOD OFFENDER.

FIX AND COMPLETE THE LANDSCAPING ON THE ENTIRE NORTH PROSPECT AVENUE MEDIAN.

AS I HAVE SPOKEN ON THIS PREVIOUSLY, WE WERE LEFT WITH AN UNFUNCTIONAL AND INCOMPLETE MEDIAN LANDSCAPE AND BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT.

PLEASE FIX IT, FINISH IT, AND BE PROUD OF IT AS YOU ARE WITH OTHER CITY PROJECTS, WE ESTIMATE A REASONABLE.

YOUR TIME'S UP. ANYONE ELSE? THERE ARE NO OTHER SPEAKERS.

OKAY. LET'S SEE. COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI. OH, LET ME LET ME DO SOMETHING FIRST.

SO WE'RE AFTER 10:00. THAT'S WHERE WE SET ASIDE TIME TO REASSESS THE REMAINDER OF THE AGENDA.

WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE HERE, DO WE? WE HAVE TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

THE NEXT ONE, L.2, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IS NOT REQUIRED BY ANY TIME LIMIT.

WELL, WELL, WE DO WANT TO APPROVE L.2. THAT'LL TAKE.

THAT SHOULD NOT BE A LONG ITEM. IT'S THE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUDGET ACTION.

WE HAVE TO GET TO THE LAST ONE. YEAH. WE NEED TO DO L.2.

DON'T HAVE TO DO L.2. OTHERWISE WE'D HAVE ALL THE ALL THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULES IN FRONT OF US.

WE ONLY HAVE. TWO THE DIFFERENCE IS THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS BUILT ON THOSE FEES BEING IMPLEMENTED EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST.

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FEES AND THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT FEES. IF WE DELAY THAT IMPLEMENTATION, WE HAVE PROBLEM. NO. YOU GUYS DON'T WANT TO CUT ANYTHING FROM THE AGENDA TONIGHT? NO. NO. LET'S GET IT DONE. OKAY. OKAY. I'M JUST DOING WHAT WE SAID WE'D DO TODAY.

JEEZ. OKAY WITH THAT, COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE TOO MUCH MORE TO ADD HERE.

YEAH. MS. MEYER, HAVE YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO RECONCILE, KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHY THERE'S SUCH A BIG GAP WHEN I FEEL LIKE THEY'VE ASSUMED ALMOST EVERYTHING? LET ME. MAYBE I'LL GO THROUGH SORT OF THE JUST GENERAL POINTS, AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF.

SO ONE, ONE APPARENT DIFFERENCE IS THE FUNDING, THE AVIATION PARKING STUDY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.

THAT'S ONE DISTINCTION, $55,000. THE RBPAC PANEL EXPENSES.

[04:10:04]

ARE YOU GUYS NOT FUNDING IT AT ALL OR NOT DIRECTING THEM TO SEEK GRANT THERE? THAT'S A MID-YEAR ITEM IN THEIR MOTION. SO AS IN, THERE'S NO DIRECTION AT THIS TIME FOR ANYTHING WITH REGARD TO IT? GRANT. EXPLORE GRANT FUNDING. PURSUE GRANTS RETURN AT MID-YEAR.

THAT'S THEIR MOTION. YOURS IS $55,000 APPROPRIATION NOW.

RBPAC PANEL, THAT'S A DISTINCTION $1,350. ONE MOTION CURRENTLY HAS.

WELL, NOW ACTUALLY, YOU'VE BOTH RECONCILED THE INCREASED PARKING METER PERMIT RATE TO 220.

SO I DON'T NEED TO DISCUSS THAT. DESIGN. THAT AS $20,000 TO THE GENERAL FUND BECAUSE WE MIGHT HAVE SOME ATTRITION.

SO. SO THERE IS A DISTINCTION THEN IN THE VALUE THERE.

I THINK THE VALUE ASSIGNED IN PHASES IS WE'RE 375.

375 YEAH. SO THAT'S, THAT WAS BASED ON THERE BEING DIFFERENT RATES PROPOSED.

NO, WE, WE DID 220 ALSO. THEY JUST DID A DIFFERENT ASSUMPTION.

20,000 BECAUSE. OF AMOUNT. I DON'T KNOW. A LOSS OF NUMBER OF PERMITS SOLD.

AND MINE ACCOUNTED FOR 200 LOSS. RIGHT. BUT WOULDN'T THAT I THOUGHT THE 200 LOSS WOULD BE A NET LOSS TO THE CITY.

HE'S. YEAH, HE'S KIND OF. THE DIFFERENCE JUST.

JUST FOR NOW, LET'S JUST FOCUS ON THE DIFFERENCE IN THE MOTIONS. YEAH, THAT'S THE SAME.

WE COULD. WE COULD TAKE THE ACTUAL NUMBER OUT OF THE BUDGET.

YEAH. KEEPING THE 220 RATE THERE, BUT TAKING THE REVENUE POTENTIAL.

I, WE CAN STRIP ANY SORT OF ASSUMED REVENUE FROM THAT OUT OF EITHER.

THAT'S SO I THINK WE. WE'RE OKAY THERE. DESIGN LOGO DESIGN SERVICES, $7,500.

THAT'S A DISTINCTION. THERE'S $10,000 OF TREE PLANTING FUNDS OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND IN ZEIN'S MOTION.

SCOTT'S MOTION THAT'S NOT INCLUDED. DALE PAGE PARK MAINTENANCE, $2,500.

THERE IS. THERE IS ONE DISTINCTION. YOU'RE BOTH ATTEMPTING TO FUND THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH BIKE PATH RESTRIPING PLAN.

ONE MOTION HAS IT OUT OF THE SUBDIVISION TRUST FUND OR OTHER GRANTS.

YOUR MOTION HAS IT OUT OF GENERAL FUND. WE CAN PURSUE GRANTS FOR THAT.

I DON'T BELIEVE WE CAN USE QUIMBY FUNDS FOR THAT.

THAT MAINTENANCE IMPLEMENTATION. WHY NOT? BECAUSE IT'S IT GOES BEYOND JUST THE BIKE PATH.

IT'S REFRESHING. IT'S TRULY A MAINTENANCE ITEM.

IT'S REFRESHING STRIPING AND THEN IT'S GOING INTO STREETS.

SO IT'S, THAT ONE'S A LITTLE, THAT ONE STARTS TO GET BEYOND THE KIND OF PARK AMENITY ARGUMENT.

SO THAT'S A DISTINCTION IN THE TWO MOTIONS. YOU'RE BOTH ATTEMPTING TO FUND IT JUST WITH DIFFERENT STRATEGIES.

MAYBE GRANT FUNDED THROUGH ANOTHER SOURCE ANYWAY.

THAT WE COULD PURSUE THAT IF IT'S AVAILABLE, SOMETIMES MAINTENANCE REFRESHES FOR STRIPING AREN'T SUPER SUCCESSFUL, THOUGH. I'LL TELL YOU THAT. THAT'S NOT AN EASY GRANT TO OBTAIN.

NORTH REDONDO BEACH FARMERS MARKET. THE BOLLARDS IS AT 40K IN ONE NOT INCLUDED IN THE OTHER.

LANDSCAPE. THE LANDSCAPING AT SOUTH JUANITA AND CAMINO REAL IN ONE MOTION IS GENERAL FUND AND THE OTHER MOTION IT'S IN QUIMBY.

THAT'S A DISTINCTION. CITYWIDE MONUMENTS. CAN YOU REPEAT THAT LAST ONE? SO THE SOUTH JUANITA LANDSCAPING IS A QUIMBY APPROPRIATION AND THE.

AND THE CASTLE-KALUDEROVIC MOTION, WHEREAS YOURS IS GOT IT IN GENERAL FUND.

THE CITYWIDE MONUMENT AND WATERFRONT BENCHES, I ASSUME IS THE 126 IN YOUR MOTION.

RIGHT? THOSE ARE THE TWO ITEMS. SO THOSE ARE ACCOUNTED FOR. WE DID CHANGE THAT OVER TO SUBDIVISION TRUST.

WHICH ONE? IS SOUTH JUANITA? YEAH. SOUTH. OKAY.

NO, I'M SORRY, THAT'S REPLACING THE FENCE LET ME SEE REAL QUICK, JUANITA. WE STILL.

I'M STILL SEEING THAT IN GENERAL FUND. SO SUBDIVISION TRUST FUNDS IF AVAILABLE.

YEAH, IT'S DRAWING ON THE GENERAL FUND. OKAY. SO THAT.

YOU HAVE? SORRY, YOU HAVE QUIMBY AS BACKUP IN YOURS? IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE SAYING? NO. I MEAN, LIKE IT HAS TO DRAW ON SOME THINGS RIGHT NOW.

IT'S CURRENTLY DRAWING OFF THE GENERAL FUND. I CAN TRY TO WORK IT TO DRAW QUIMBY, BUT IN ANY EVENT.

OKAY. THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER MONUMENT SIGN OF $24,000 THAT THAT'S A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO MOTIONS AND THEN THE $15,000 TO HIRE THE THIRD PARTY FACILITATOR FOR THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW.

THAT'S ANOTHER DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO. THAT'S THOSE ARE THE ITEMS I SEE.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT, MR. CITY MANAGER. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL.

CAN I ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI? YES, SIR. LAST TIME YOU HAD INCLUDED AND I DON'T I DON'T RECALL IT BEING IN THERE THIS TIME.

THAT DECISION PACKAGE 30. THAT THE POSITION REDUCTION WOULD.

YES. YOU KNOW? IT IS IN HERE. IT IS IN THERE? THEY'RE BOTH MOTIONS HAVE THAT MAYOR. OKAY. 2B.

IT IS. IT IS ONLINE. THAT'S OKAY. I'LL TRUST YOU.

YOU KNOW THERE. IT'S IN BOTH. OKAY. THANK YOU.

[04:15:02]

ANYTHING ELSE COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI? I DIDN'T REALLY SAY ANYTHING YET, BUT I JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT.

DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A BREAK? HOW TO MAKE. SO WITH THE CHANGES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT JUST NOW OF REMOVING ANY INCOME GENERATED FROM THE INCREASE OF PARKING METER PASSES BUT KEEPING THE INCREASE TO 220, KEEPING IT THERE, BUT JUST NOT ACCOUNTING FOR ANY REVENUE GENERATION.

THE WE'RE THIS MOTION IS AT 399,847 FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

AND THEN THE OTHER CHANGE THEN WOULD ALSO BE THAT THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH LIGHTING OR NO, THE STRIPING WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE QUIMBY FUNDS. RIGHT? IT WOULD HAVE TO BE GRANT FUNDED IN THIS MOTION IT WOULD BE GRANT FUNDED.

IT WOULD EITHER BE GRANT FUNDED OR GENERAL FUND.

YEAH. OR NOT FUNDED? OR NOT FUNDED. IN THIS MOTION, IT WOULD BE GRANT FUNDED OR NOT.

BUT THEN THAT WOULD LEAVE AN ADDITIONAL $202,000 GOING TO PICKLEBALL.

BECAUSE. IN YOUR MOTION. THIS MOTION SAYS REMAINING QUIMBY FUNDS GO TO GO TO PICKLEBALL.

SO IT SAYS QUIMBY FUNDS AT THE END? YEAH. I MEAN, WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS BALANCE IN QUIMBY AND JUST LIMIT PICKLEBALL TOO.

WE COULD KEEP IT AT 145. WELL, I MEAN, UNTIL IT'S FUNDED AT SOME POINT, JUST IT'S THIS ONE YEAR.

OKAY. LET'S GET BACK TO SOME DECORUM. SO. COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI HAS THE FLOOR.

ALL RIGHT, 2B PLEASE. SO THE NRB BIKE PATH GETS A LOT OF USE AT NIGHT.

IT IS VERY DARK IN THAT LAST BLOCK GOING TO DALE PAGE.

AND DALE PAGE DOESN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS. THE COOKIE ZOMBIE OWNER EXPRESSED.

WE ASKED HIM WHAT CAN WE DO TO IMPROVE THE AREA AND THE LIKE AROUND YOU? HE SAID, LIGHT IT UP, PROVIDE MORE LIGHTING. LIGHTS ARE ESSENTIAL TO SAFETY.

I CAN SHOW PICTURES. I WAS JUST WALKING THERE LAST NIGHT, BUT IT WAS A BRIGHT NIGHT IN THE SKY.

SO THAT'S. WAS NOT THE BEST EXAMPLE OF IT. THE NRB BIKE PATH GETS A LOT OF USE AND IT HASN'T BEEN REFRESHED IN A LONG TIME.

AND IT'S JUST IT'S INCONSISTENT IN WHERE IT'S BEEN REFRESHED AND WHERE IT HASN'T.

AND IN SOME PLACES, THE WHOLE THE WHOLE INSIGNIA OF THE BICYCLE IS GONE.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE CARED FOR IN A COMMUNITY.

IS YOU KNOW, HOW'S THE STRIPING? IF I COULD SAY ONE OTHER THING ABOUT THAT.

MAYOR IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. WE'RE DIRECTING CHILDREN TO TAKE THAT BIKE PATH.

WE HAVE PEDESTRIANS. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST USED AMENITIES.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT RESTRIPED AND REPAINTED.

WE HAVE THE DATA ON HOW MANY BIKES GO ON. AND.

AND RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT. AND WE HAVE SOME POTENTIAL PROBLEMS THERE.

WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE, AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

AND IF IT DOESN'T GET FUNDED THROUGH GENERAL FUNDS, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO IT'S CRITICAL FOR ME, YOU KNOW, IF ON BRR 42, THE NORTH REDONDO BEACH FARMERS MARKET I DON'T HEAR ANYBODY FROM THERE. WHEN CRAIG WAS JUST UP HERE, HE DIDN'T SAY HE FUND THIS THING.

IF WE WANT TO DELAY IT UNTIL IT'S IMPLEMENTED AND THEN HAVE A 4/5 VOTE OR JUST BRING IT BACK NEXT YEAR.

YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER WAS SEEKING THIS CLOSURE ALSO.

BUT IF YOU WERE YOU'RE OKAY WITH REMOVING IT, THEN WE CAN REMOVE IT.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? YEAH. ON THAT ONE. IF WE I THINK WE COULD DO THAT AS A 4/5 OR A DELAY ON THE, ON THE SO WE'LL TAKE THAT OUT. NOT OOPS. NOT FUNDED AT THIS TIME. ALL RIGHT. THIS PARKING STUDY UPDATE FOR AVIATION BOULEVARD. I MEAN, WE DO DIRECT THEM TO SEEK RESTRICTED TRANSPORTATION, RESTRICTED FUNDING, BUT AS A FALLBACK, I THINK YOU NEED TO HAVE MOMENTUM ON THIS.

OTHERWISE IT'S NOT GOING TO GET DONE. $55,000 IT'S, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE MAJOR CHANGES.

TAKE BOLD ACTION TO, TO TRANSFORM AN AREA AND A STREET THAT'S DANGEROUS AND MAKE IT SAFER.

THAT'S IMPORTANT. AND SEE, WE HAVE THE INCREASED PARKING PERMIT RATE TO 220.

I'VE TAKEN PERRY PARK FENCING DOWN TO $20,000.

[04:20:08]

OH WE INCLUDED NEW REPLACEMENT PLAY EQUIPMENT PARTS.

I THINK THAT WAS IN THEIRS TOO. WAS IT IN THEIRS? OKAY, YOU JUST PUT IT IN WAYFINDING SIGNS.

AND ONE OTHER CHANGE I MADE HERE. I MADE YOUR JUANITA PUT THAT DOWN INTO THE.

THE FENCE? YEAH. THE FENCE. IT WAS UP THERE. YEAH.

I MADE IT OUT OF THE SUBDIVISION TRUST FUND SO.

YES LOWER. YEAH. OKAY THERE IT IS. SO IT'S COMING OUT OF THE SUBDIVISION. RIGHT SO THERE YOU'RE. THERE. YOU'RE CONGRUOUS THERE.

AND. THAT'S IT. WE STILL HAVE ALL THE BRANDING CHANGES.

ON SORRY, ON BRR 35, I BELIEVE COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC'S MOTION HAS 126,000.

YEAH. THEY'VE. SHE COMBINED. SHE COMBINED. SHE COMBINE THOSE TWO.

FOR. OKAY. THE WATERFRONT. I THINK THEY'RE INCONGRUENT.

YEAH. THEY'RE SAYING. SO YEAH, ALL WE HAVE HERE IS THE RBPAC PANEL REPLACEMENT AND THE SIGNAGE AT THE RBPAC. I THINK THAT'S REALLY THE MAIN DIFFERENCE $10,000 FOR TREES, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH TREE CITY USA AND BEAUTIFYING REDONDO BEACH.

I MEAN. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC NOT WANTING TO SPEND MONEY, BUT SOMETIMES I THINK SOMETHING LIKE TREES.

YEAH, AS THEY SAY, THE BEST TIME TO PLANT A TREE WAS 20 YEARS AGO.

SECOND BEST TIME IS TODAY. AND THE. OUR TREE BUDGET IN THE CITY HAS BEEN BEHRENDT FOR A LONG TIME.

SO AND THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB RIGHT NOW. IT'S LIKE, LET'S REWARD THAT GREAT WORK.

LET'S PROVIDE POSITIVE AFFIRMATION AND RESUPPLY THEM WITH RESOURCES TO KEEP DOING IT.

SO WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE? WE END UP WITH A GENERAL FUND BALANCE OF 227,297.24.

MY. OURS IS 399,847. I GET THERE, THERE'S SOMETHING.

AND OUR MOTION FUNDS PICKLEBALL THIS YEAR FOR $702,000.

DO YOU AGREE WITH THOSE TWO ASSESSMENTS ON THE AMOUNT STEPHANIE? YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME ONE MINUTE FOR. THE GENERAL FUND NUMBERS I THINK ARE GETTING MORE CONGRUOUS THE CHALLENGES THERE'S JUST. THERE'S STILL DIFFERENT SPENDS ON A FEW OF THE ITEMS. YEAH. WELL, SHE'S LOOKING AT THAT. CAN I ASK COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI A QUESTION ABOUT THE SUBSIDIES, THE THING THAT YOU HAD ON THE SUBSIDIES. CAN YOU SHOW THAT AGAIN SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE SUPER BOWL RACE.

SO FOR EXAMPLE. SO HERE'S WHAT I'LL SAY ON IT GENERALLY IS IF SOMEBODY COMES TO US AND SAYS, HEY, WE CAN'T HAVE OUR RACE BECAUSE OF YOUR NEW STREET CLOSURE FEE, WHAT I WOULD LIKE US TO SAY IS, OKAY, SHOW US YOUR PRO FORMA, SHOW US WHERE YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS RACE BECAUSE OF OUR FEE.

AND THEN BASED ON THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO BREAK EVEN OR.

YEAH. THEN WE CAN GIVE THEM A ONE-TIME SUBSIDY BY A 4/5 VOTE OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE SUBSIDIES SO THEY CAN MAKE PROFIT OFF THE CITY'S BACK.

SO RIGHT, LIKE RIGHT NOW THAT ONE SHOWS THE CITY FEES OF 3341.

THE PER MILE FEE IS THE PER MILE FEE, ADDING ANOTHER 36,720.

YES. SO THEIR FEES WOULD GO FROM 33 TO 70? RIGHT.

AND RIGHT NOW THOSE FEE, THE 33 IS WELL, ONE IT'S PD, BUT ALSO THE BARRICADES TO CLOSE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, I'M JUST SAYING YEAH, THE FEE IS LITERALLY 110% INCREASE.

RIGHT BECAUSE THINGS ARE. NOT, IT'S NOT LIKE COST MORE.

WE'RE DOUBLING. IT'S NOT LIKE 33 TO 37,000. RIGHT.

YEAH. 33 TO $70,000. WELL, AND TO BE CLEAR, IT'S I WOULDN'T CLASSIFY THE INITIAL PORTION OF THAT AS A FEE.

THAT'S REIMBURSING THE CITY FOR COSTS. OKAY. THIS WOULD BE A FEE.

COST FOR THE CHAMBERS WOULD BE GOING FROM $33,000 TO $70,000.

AND I HAVEN'T SEEN THEIR BOOKS. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY MAKE, BUT I COULD SEE THAT BEING A NEGATIVE.

OKAY. BUT IF I WERE ORGANIZING A RUN THAT WAS 6.2 MILES AND I WAS USING 5 TOTAL MILES OR 4.6 TOTAL MILES OF

[04:25:09]

ROADWAY AND BEING CHARGED $8,000 A MILE, I'D CONSIDER CUTTING MY 6.

YOU KNOW, CUTTING THE MILEAGE DOWN TO 3.1 WITH AN OUT AND BACK, RIGHT.

RATHER THAN A BUNCH OF FRESH CONCRETE. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS ROUTE, BUT PRESUMABLY IT COULD BE SHORTENED UP A LITTLE BIT AND STILL MAKE USE OF THE ESPLANADE AND THE LIKE. IT IS A LARGE. IT IS OUT AND BACK.

AS FAR AS I KNOW. THERE'S A BIG. THE ESPLANADE.

I GUESS THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A LOOP AROUND THE POWER PLANT.

YEAH, THAT'S THE ONLY. EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT ESPLANADE IS OUT IN BACK.

YEAH. SO BASICALLY IT'S CATALI. FROM CATALINA AND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT'S OUT AND BACK, RIGHT. THEY'D HAVE TO DO THE SAME TO LIKE FOR OUT AND BACK TWICE OR SOMETHING TO CUT THROUGHOUT MUCH.

YEAH. BUT IF THEY GO FROM 4.59 TO 3.5 BY NOT GOING AROUND THE POWER PLANT, IT'S NOT MAKING THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE. 36K GOES DOWN TO 28K 29K MORE THAN THEY PAID LAST YEAR.

BUT YOU KNOW IF. AGAIN IF THEY COME TO US WITH THEIR PRO FORMA I MEAN THAT'S THE.

YEAH. IF THE COUNCIL IS AMENABLE TO GIVING A SUBSIDY OR A FEE WAIVER IN THE FUTURE FOR THAT, THAT'S FINE. BUT I CAN OBVIOUSLY SEE WHY THEY'D BE REACTING TO A FEE GOING UP BY $37,000.

CAN WE SOMEHOW DOCUMENT THAT? LIKE IN THE BUDGET? I MISSED THE LAST PART. I WAS CONFIRMING. COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI'S SAYING THAT IF SOMEONE COMES WITH THEIR PRO FORMA, THEN WE'LL CONSIDER A FEE WAIVER. WE CAN DOCUMENT IT.

THE CHALLENGE'S YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT REQUEST FOR EVERY EVENT.

WELL THAT'S WHAT HE'S JUST. WELL BUT. AT THE TIME OF THE SUBMITTAL EVENTS LISTED HERE.

AND SO IF IT'S ONE OF OUR SIGNATURE EVENTS THAT WE SUBSIDIZING THE CITY IS BASICALLY MAKING AN EXTRA $37,000 A YEAR. THAN THEY USED TO FROM THAT EVENT.

THAT'S CORRECT. THERE'S ONLY SO MANY THAT THAT AFFECTS.

RIGHT? WELL, THAT ONE EVENT IS AN EXTRA $37,000.

YEAH NO I AGREE. WHEREAS THE HYDROCEPHALUS WALK GOES UP.

I HAVE TO SCROLL OVER JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE SO I CAN SEE THE OTHER SIDE.

TO THE RIGHT. SO YEAH, JUST SO I CAN SEE COLUMN.

YEAH. THAT GOES WELL. IT GOES FROM. OH 16 9. 16 9 TO 28 29,000 SO.

YEAH, IT'S NOT THE SAME PERCENTAGE. THIS IS NOT NEARLY AS LARGE OF A PERCENTAGE.

4TH OF JULY. IT'S NOT ON THE LEFT. BUT YEAH, SO THOSE ARE PURE OUT AND BACK.

SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE AND THEY'RE 5K'S INSTEAD OF 10K'S.

RIGHT. THAT'S THE BIG DIFFERENCE. SO THEIR INCREASES AREN'T SHOCKINGLY LARGE.

I CAN SEE WHY $37,000 EXTRA IS A LOT FOR THE SUPER BOWL 1.

SO COULD ARGUE TO INCREASE THE SUBSIDY NOW BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO US AND SAY THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT.

AND I THINK WE DO WANT TO HAVE THAT RACE. I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE, ALMOST ALL ABOUT ALL OF US, BUT I KNOW MANY OF US HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THAT RACE FOR MANY YEARS.

I'VE GOT SHIRTS GOING BACK 20 PLUS YEARS. I UNDERSTOOD FROM THE CITY MANAGER THAT THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE NIKE RUN, BUT JUST THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE HAVE THE NIKE RUN JUST THIS YEAR WE HAVE MORE MONEY TO POTENTIALLY PROVIDE IN SUBSIDIES FOR JUST THIS YEAR. SO I THINK I'D BE WILLING, I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT WOULD BE WILLING MY BROWN ACT PARTNER TO THROW A LITTLE MORE MONEY TOWARDS THE SUPER BOWL 10K RUN, BUT ALSO ENCOURAGE THEM TO TRIM THEIR TOTAL MILEAGE DOWN TO ONE HALF OF 6.22 MILES.

AND THEREFORE, YOU KNOW, MEET US HALFWAY. SO WHAT KIND OF SUBSIDY WOULD YOU WANT TO ADD COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER TO THE SUPER BOWL, THE SUPER BOWL 10K RUN? CONSIDERING WE'RE IN, YOU KNOW, THAT IF THEY IF THEY CUT THEIR MILEAGE DOWN TO.

THREE AND A CHANGE. THREE AND CHANGE AT 8,000.

THAT'S 24,000 EXTRA. WE NEED TO GIVE ANOTHER $15,000 AT LEAST.

AND THAT WOULD STILL BE CHARGING THEM EXTRA $10,000.

[04:30:02]

SO THEY WOULD STILL HAVE THEY'D HAVE TO INCREASE THEIR FEES TO WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO DO TO, TO GET THAT. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A REASONABLE REQUEST, IF THAT'S YOUR ASK TO JOIN ON THIS BUDGET, WHICH INCORPORATES PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT AND GO WITH THIS BUDGET THAT COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI AND I HAVE PRESENTED AND WILL PRESENT AS A SUBSTITUTE TO THE SUBSTITUTE, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

ARE YOU AGREEABLE TO THAT? YES. OKAY. THEN I THINK.

YOU NEED A SUBSTITUTE TO THE SUBSTITUTE? OR CAN YOU JUST ADJUST YOUR ORIGINAL MOTION? WELL WE'LL DO A SUBSTITUTE TO THE SUBSTITUTE. EITHER OR. WE'LL DO SUBSTITUTE TO THE SUBSTITUTE AND VOTE ON THAT FIRST.

IT CAPTURES EVERYTHING IT INCLUDES. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE.

IT'S SIGNIFICANT. WE'VE MADE A LOT. SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE SUBSIDY IS GOING FROM THE 10 THAT'S IN BRR 8 TO 25 BASED ON THAT DISCUSSION. YES. SO I'M JUST GOING TO ADD IT AS A LINE ITEM HERE.

SO IT'S $15,000. AN ADDITIONAL 15. ON THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE.

AND JUST AND WE REVIEW THESE EACH YEAR. RIGHT? YEAH. SO WE CAN CHANGE IT. JUST MAKE JUST MAKE CLEAR IT'S ADDITIONAL SUBSIDY NOT REPLACEMENT SUBSIDY.

YES. IT IS AN ADDITION. I WILL MAKE THAT CLEAR.

JUST GIVE ME ONE SECOND. IS YOUR BUDGET ASSUMING ALL OF THOSE EXTRA $8,000 PER MILE FEES FOR ALL OF THOSE EVENTS? THE BUDGET AS COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI MENTIONED, WE HAVE SOME WE HAVEN'T EXECUTED THE LICENSE YET, BUT BASED ON CURRENT PLANNING ESTIMATES THE LINE SHARE OF OUR REVENUE ESTIMATE THIS YEAR WILL BE AFFORDED THROUGH THE NIKE RUN IF IT. IF IT ULTIMATELY OCCURS AS CURRENTLY CONCEPTUALIZED.

SO IT. ADDITIONAL SUBSIDY IN THIS REGARD WON'T HAVE A MEANINGFUL EFFECT ON THE BUDGET.

IT'S HELPFUL, I THINK, TO HAVE IT RUN THROUGH THE ACCOUNTING TO BE CLEAR.

KIND OF BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY IN THAT RESPECT, BUT I DO THINK THERE'S A FAIR CHANCE WE'LL, WE'LL DO BETTER THAN THAT WITH FINAL OUTCOME.

YEAH. AND WHAT I WAS ASKING ABOUT REALLY WAS, WERE YOU ASSUMING $8,000 PER MILE OF REVENUE TO THE CITY FOR THE 4TH OF JULY RUN, THE 5K RUN, YOU KNOW, FOR ALL OF THE ITEMS LISTED IN THAT, WAS THAT LISTED AS ACTUAL REVENUE TO THE CITY IN YOUR ASSUMPTIONS? IT WAS WHEN WE PREPARED THE BUDGET AS OUR AS OUR DISCUSSIONS EVOLVE WITH NIKE.

BUT NOT JUST NIKE, ALL THE OTHERS? THERE, THERE BECOMES SOME SORT OF SURPLUS WITH THAT.

THE KEY FOR US THOUGH, IS ESTABLISHING. YEAH.

THE KEY FOR US, THOUGH, IS ESTABLISHING THIS FEE ISN'T JUST FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, RIGHT? IT'S THAT'S THE ANNUALIZED REALITY OF OUR OF OUR NEED HERE.

OKAY. WELL, WITH THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER, WE'VE WE NOW HAVE A SUBSTITUTE TO THE SUBSTITUTE.

AND THAT'S THE MOTION THE COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI HAS THERE.

SO I PRESENT THAT AS THE SUBSTITUTE. YOU MEAN SECOND IT? YEAH, THE SUBSTITUTE'S SUBSTITUTE.

AND HE. SECOND. ONE CLARIFICATION. COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI.

DID YOU ZERO OUT THE REVENUE ESTIMATE FOR THE PARKING METER PERMIT FEE? YEAH I DID. SHE SHOULD HAVE. SHE HAS A LIVE LINK SO IT SHOULD EVERYTHING SHOULD BE UPDATED THERE.

THERE IT IS. IT IS ZERO THERE. SO CAN WE GET CLARIFICATION ON THINGS THAT MAY DISAGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC.

WE JUST HAVE MORE HERE. SO WE HAVE THE NRB BIKE PATH.

FUNDED. FUNDED. OUT OF GENERAL FUND. GENERAL FUND.

GENERAL FUNDS YEAH. PARKING STUDY, THE BANNER AND THE PARKING STUDY $55,000 FOR THE AVIATION BOULEVARD PARKING STUDY.

$10,000 FOR TREES. WHAT ABOUT THE MARQUEE SIGNS? 24 SIGNS ARE ALL FUNDED 24 NO. 24K FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER MARQUEE SIGNS.

THAT'S DIFFERENT. 24K FOR THE MARQUEE SIGNS RIGHT.

SO. REDONDO BEACH PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, IT'S ALL PRETTY MUCH THERE.

I'M JUST. SINCE THERE WAS. IT'S A LARGE NUMBER DIFFERENCE, I THOUGHT WE WERE CLOSER THAN THAT.

SO THAT'S WHY I WAS TRYING TO MAKE SURE. YEAH, WE'RE DOWN TO CLOSER TO $175,000 DIFFERENCE.

SO HOW ABOUT $172,000. THAT'S WHERE THAT THAT'S 90,000 OR 96.

SORRY I TRIED TO GIVE PICKLEBALL AN EXTRA $100,000. OKAY.

WE THANK YOU. IT'S NOT A PRIORITY. ALL RIGHT. IS THEIR A PRIORITY. BUT I DON'T KNOW. AGAIN, I'D REMIND EVERYBODY IT'S $131 MILLION BUDGET.

YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. SO. SO YOU'VE MADE YOUR SUBSTITUTE MOTION, SCOTT.

YOU HAVE YOUR. COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT. YOU HAVE YOUR HAND UP.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? NO I THINK WE SHOULD CALL THE VOTE.

COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER. I MEAN, WE NEED TO WRAP THIS UP. NO, NO, NO. MY QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE FEES THAT I GOT TO ASK THERE.

SO I'M WITHDRAWING MY. THEY'RE BASICALLY THE SAME BUDGET.

[04:35:01]

HER IS JUST. THEIR IS JUST SLIGHTLY MORE CONSERVATIVE AND HOLDING ON $150,000 $170,000 MORE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT. OKAY. I'M GOING TO CALL THE VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. AND I'M GOING TO DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

SO WE'RE ON THE SUBSTITUTE OF THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION.

COUNCIL MEMBER WALLER. AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER CASTLE.

NAY. COUNCIL MEMBER KALUDEROVIC. NO. COUNCIL MEMBER OBAGI.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER BEHRENDT. I'M AN AYE AND THIS IS A VERY CLOSE MOTION.

I APPRECIATE THE PRINCIPLE AND NOT VOTING FOR IT.

OKAY, EXCELLENT. SO THE MOTION CARRIES 3 TO 2.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. IS. OH I WOULD YEAH WE WOULD I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE CLOSE THAT THE HEARING ASSUMING THERE ISN'T ANY INCLINATION OR TENDENCY TOWARDS A VETO. NO, NO. NO WE'VE GOT TO GO.

OKAY. THEN I WOULD SAY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THOSE WILL COME BACK AS PART OF A SUBSEQUENT ACTION IN JULY.

MOST OF THOSE WILL BE SCHEDULED FOR INCLUDING THE $2 A FOOT AT MINIMUM DISCUSSION OF THE SLIP FEES.
