Jul 08, 2026 Public Amenities Commission

[00:00:02]

TODAY'S DATE IS JULY 8TH, 2026. I CALL THIS MEETING OF THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION TO ORDER. AND CAN WE GET A ROLL CALL, PLEASE? YES. COMMISSIONER LANG. HERE. COMMISSIONER GALASSI.

HERE. COMMISSIONER MCCAULEY. HERE. CHAIR MAROKO.

HERE. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A QUORUM, AND WE'LL GET TO THE NEXT PART.

AND SINCE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR ORDERS HERE, COULD YOU LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE? STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. THANK YOU. OKAY THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS APPROVE THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA.

[D. APPROVE ORDER OF AGENDA]

I WOULD LIKE OUR AGENDA TO GO IN THIS ORDER. L.1, L.2, PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, M, N, THEN BACK TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR AND FINISH OFF THAT WAY.

THAT WAY, ANY ITEMS THAT REQUIRE A VOTE OR INPUT FROM CERTAIN COMMISSIONERS CAN BE TAKEN AT THAT POINT.

SO IF I CAN GET A SECOND. I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU.

AND ACCORDING TO THE NEW RULES OF PROCEDURE, WHICH I JUST BRIEFLY GLANCED AT, THERE'S NO PUBLIC COMMENT ON IT. SO I WILL NOTE THAT COMMISSIONER YOUSUFZAI JUST WALKED IN, SO HE CAN DECIDE IF HE WANTS TO.

WE'RE DOING THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA, AND I JUST SUGGESTED THAT A CHANGE OF THAT.

SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF WHAT I SUGGESTED, SAY AYE.

AYE. AYE. ANYBODY OPPOSED? OKAY. SO WE WILL GO THEN THROUGH THE

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

SO, HOW MANY BLUE FOLDER ITEMS DO WE HAVE? THERE'S ONE BLUE FOLDER ITEM AS IT RELATES TO THE PRESERVATION COMMITTEE.

OKAY. AND DOES EVERYBODY HAVE A COPY OF THAT BLUE FOLDER ITEM? IT WAS EMAILED AND WE HAVE HARD COPIES HERE. GREAT.

CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THAT, PLEASE? I'LL MOVE TO RECEIVE AND FILE. SECOND? SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANYBODY OPPOSED? OKAY. SO WE'RE MOVING ON TO THAT. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE CALENDAR THEN, IS WE'RE MOVING TO ITEM L.1.

[L. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION]

THANK YOU. SO, AS YOU KNOW, YOU DO HAVE A VOLUNTEER ACKNOWLEDGMENT SUBCOMMITTEE.

IT'S MADE UP OF COMMISSIONERS ROWE AND CALDWELL.

WE HAD RECEIVED A VOLUNTEER SERVICE OR ACKNOWLEDGMENT APPLICATION FOR JACK.

RAJCIC? I DON'T KNOW IF I'M PRONOUNCING THAT CORRECTLY.

RAJCIC? FOR HIS SERVICE AS IT RELATES TO LITTLE LEAGUE ACTIVITIES IN REDONDO BEACH.

AND SO THIS IS AN ELIGIBLE ACTIVITY FOR THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

AS YOU KNOW, THIS PROGRAM, THE WAY IT'S CURRENTLY WRITTEN IS JUST FOR ANY VOLUNTEER SERVICE THAT SUPPORTS ANY PARKS AND GREEN SPACES IN THE CITY.

AND SO OBVIOUSLY LITTLE LEAGUE SERVICES FOR OUR YOUTH IN OUR PARKS, THIS IS ELIGIBLE.

AND SO FOR THIS ITEM. SORRY. LET ME BACK UP FOR JUST A MOMENT.

FOR THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM, THE WAY THAT IT'S BEEN DRAFTED, WE DO HAVE OUR SUBCOMMITTEE INITIALLY REVIEWS THE APPLICATION.

THEY DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION ARE ELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATION, AND WHETHER THEY WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND FOR THE COMMISSION TO FORMALLY CONSIDER THIS APPLICATION FOR FORMAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

AND SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY A TWO STEP PROCESS. THE SUBCOMMITTEE DID REVIEW THE APPLICATION AND IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL FROM THE COMMISSION TO FORMALLY ACKNOWLEDGE JACK RAJCIC. AND SO ATTACHED TO THE ITEM IS THE GUIDELINES FOR THE PROGRAM.

JUST TO REMIND YOU IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS, IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE THE COMMISSION HAS SEEN ONE OF THESE, SO ALL OF THE POLICIES SURROUNDING THE PROGRAM ARE INCLUDED.

WE ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION, AS WELL AS THE SUBCOMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION FORM.

SO THAT IS WHAT THEY COMPLETE AFTER THEY REVIEW THE APPLICATION.

AND SO THAT'S JUST THEIR FORMAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO THE COMMISSION THAT THEY DO AGREE THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL IS WORTHY OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

[00:05:06]

IF THE COMMISSION CHOOSES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT, WE WOULD RETURN AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING AND DO A FORMAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

WE WOULD CERTAINLY INVITE HIM HERE AND WE WOULD HAVE A CERTIFICATE.

AND THEN OUR LITTLE SURFBOARD TABLETOP AWARDS THAT WE WOULD AWARD TO HIM WITH YOU GUYS OBVIOUSLY PRESENT AND YOU CAN AWARD IT TO HIM IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. SO THAT'S THE REPORT FOR TONIGHT.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS ITEM. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO? I DO HAVE ONE. I THINK THIS IS THE THIRD AWARD WE'VE GIVEN OUT.

IS IT POSSIBLE AT SOME POINT TO PUT TOGETHER LIKE THE PICTURES OF THE OTHER RECIPIENTS, SO THAT IT'S CONSTANTLY AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO ALSO SEE THAT WE'RE RECOGNIZING THESE PEOPLE? WE DO HAVE PHOTOS. WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE THOSE? WHERE WERE YOU ENVISIONING THOSE PHOTOS BEING SHARED OUT? WELL, WHEN HE COMES HERE TO RECEIVE THE AWARD, FOR EXAMPLE, AS PART OF THE PACKET, YOU CAN SAY PAST RECIPIENTS AND THEN YOU CAN HAVE THE CURRENT PICTURE AND THEN THE NEXT PERSON GETS IT.

YOU CAN HAVE THE THREE PLUS THAT. THAT WAY THERE'S A CONTINUUM ON IT, AND IT MAKES THE PERSON KNOW THAT THEY'RE A PART OF A LARGER.

LARGER. SO AS PART OF THE REPORT, ESSENTIALLY IS WHAT YOU'RE ENVISIONING.

SURE, WE CAN DO THAT. I DON'T THINK ANY ACTION ON OUR PART, BUT.

NO, WE CAN DO THAT ADMINISTRATIVELY. OKAY. CHAIR, MAY I ASK A QUESTION? YES. OH. IS THERE ANYWHERE ON THE CITY WEBSITE WHERE WE HAVE A LISTING OF ALL THE VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE BEEN RECIPIENTS OF THIS AWARD? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I DO RECALL THAT WE DID FIND A LANDING PAGE FOR THE VOLUNTEER ACKNOWLEDGMENT PROGRAM, SO SOMEONE COULD GO ONLINE AND GET THE APPLICATION AND THE DOCUMENTS.

I'D HAVE TO FAMILIARIZE MYSELF WITH WHERE THAT IS EXACTLY, BUT TO WHERE I THINK YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS, WE COULD ALSO ADD THE NAMES, THE AWARDEES ON THERE.

AND THE PHOTOS, THAT SHOULD BE FAIRLY SIMPLE, BUT I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND SEE EXACTLY WHERE THAT IS LOCATED ON THE CITY WEBSITE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE I WAS GOING. OKAY. I THINK IT'S NICE FOR NOT ONLY THE RECIPIENT, BUT ANYONE ELSE WHO'S, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERING NOMINATING SOMEBODY THEY CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECEIVED THE AWARD, WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THAT AWARD.

I AGREE. AND I KNOW THIS CAME FROM YOU. DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ABOUT HIM AT THIS POINT? OR. YEAH, I MEAN, I COULD ALSO SPEAK, IF WE APPROVE THIS AWARD.

BUT I KNOW JACK THROUGH REDONDO SUNSET AND I'VE SEEN THE WORK THAT HE PUTS IN AND THE WORK THAT THE LEAGUE PUTS IN. AND I MEAN, I COULD REALLY GO ON FOR A WHILE ABOUT HOW MUCH. LIKE JUST THE LEVEL OF COMMITMENT, WHEN SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL SEASON STARTS.

I KNOW THE FIELD MANAGER IS THERE ALL THE TIME AND HIS WIFE'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, HOW'S HE GOING TO WORK? HE'S HERE ALL THE TIME. SO I KNOW A LOT OF LEADERS IN THE ORGANIZATION LIKE THAT.

AND JACK STEPPED UP TO BE THEIR PRESIDENT. AND ANYWAY, I JUST AM CONTINUOUSLY AMAZED AT THEIR DEDICATION, THE AMOUNT OF HOURS THEY PUT IN.

AND NOBODY GETS PAID, SO I WANTED TO NOMINATE THEM.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YEAH, I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW JACK THROUGH OUR MEETINGS AS WELL, AND I KNOW THAT'S A BIG JOB, SO IT SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR HIS DUTIES. BEING TAKEN ON THE LEAGUE IS A BIG DEAL.

AND IT'S SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL. SO IT'S A LOT OF PLAYERS, A LOT OF FAMILIES, A LOT OF WORK.

AND SO IT'S A HECK OF A DEDICATION THAT IT TAKES FOR THAT.

THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO FORMALLY ACKNOWLEDGE JACK FOR HIS VOLUNTEER EFFORT.

SO IF I CAN GET A MOTION FROM SOMEBODY TO MOVE IT TO THE NEXT STEP.

SO MOVED. OKAY. SECOND? SECOND. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO PUBLIC COMMENT. ARE THERE ANYBODY ON THE PUBLIC ONLINE AT ALL? LET ME CHECK. NO, THERE'S NOT. OKAY, SO IF SOMEBODY SHOWS UP ONLINE, YOU JUST INDICATE THAT WE NEED TO GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF. OKAY, SO THAT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECOND TO ACKNOWLEDGE JACK RAJCIC FOR HIS VOLUNTEER EFFORTS.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO.

[00:10:04]

MONEY ALTERATION SUBCOMMITTEE, ANY REPORT? THERE HAVE BEEN NO MEETINGS FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE, SO NO. FACILITIES USER SUBCOMMITTEE, ANYTHING TO REPORT? JUST THAT THE SEASONS HAVE BEEN WRAPPED UP MOSTLY FOR SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL AND SOCCER WILL BE STARTING UP PRETTY SOON IN AUGUST.

OKAY. AND VOLUNTEER ACKNOWLEDGMENT PROGRAM SUBCOMMITTEE.

I THINK WE JUST WENT THROUGH THAT. BUT IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD TO THE REPORT? I'M NOT HEARING ANYTHING, SO I'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

BRINGING HISTORY TO THE COMMUNITY SUBCOMMITTEE.

NOTHING TO REPORT ON THAT. FRANKLIN PARK PLAYGROUND SUBCOMMITTEE.

ANYTHING? NO, WE HAVEN'T MET. I BELIEVE DIRECTOR ORTA HAD MENTIONED THAT THE PLAYGROUND IS IN FABRICATION CURRENTLY.

I BELIEVE SO, YES. OKAY. ALTA VISTA PARK PICKLEBALL SUBCOMMITTEE.

WE RECENTLY HAD A MEETING WITH DIRECTOR ORTA AND TWO OTHER STAFF MEMBERS TO GO OVER SOME CONCERNS THAT CAME UP REGARDING SAFETY, WHICH HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. AND SOME OTHER ITEMS REGARDING THE RESERVATION SYSTEM AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THOSE ITEMS AND I KNOW THAT DIRECTOR ORTA RECEIVED AN EMAIL REGARDING.

AND I RECEIVED THE EMAIL AS WELL REGARDING OPEN PLAY.

THAT THEY'RE LIMITING THE OPEN PLAY TO 30 MEMBERS.

THE FIRST 30 PEOPLE WHO COME IN THE MORNING OR IN THE EVENING.

THOSE ARE THE FOLKS WHO CAN PLAY, THEY PAY THEIR $5 TO DROP IN AND THEY CUT IT OFF AFTER 30 PEOPLE.

SO THERE'S NO WAY OF. IF PEOPLE LEAVE THAT WE CAN ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE.

CORRECT? SO I UNFORTUNATELY HAVEN'T HAD A MOMENT TO CIRCLE BACK WITH STAFF BECAUSE WE JUST RECEIVED THAT LATE YESTERDAY.

SO I DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S CURRENTLY FUNCTIONING AND WHERE THAT KIND OF CUT OFF CAME FROM, BUT I ALREADY HAVE IT SENT OUT TO OUR TEAM TO LOOK AT AND LET ME KNOW AND UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE. YEAH. BECAUSE I'D BE CURIOUS TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY SHOWING UP FOR OPEN PLAY? BECAUSE THAT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN DO A LITTLE STUDY, NUMBERS WISE TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, DOES IT MAKE SENSE IF THE ADJACENT TENNIS COURT ISN'T BEING HEAVILY USED, MAYBE WE COULD DO SOME OVERLAY OF STRIPING AND, YOU KNOW GET SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUE FOR THAT.

THE MORNING HOURS, AT LEAST WHEN THE MAJORITY OF THE PICKLEBALL PEOPLE SHOW UP TO PLAY.

SO THAT'S IT FOR PICKLEBALL. OKAY, WE'LL CONTINUE ON WITH YOU.

THE PRESERVATION OUTREACH SUBCOMMITTEE. YEAH.

SO WE HAD A VERY EXCITING OUTREACH EVENT AT THE RIVIERA SUMMER FESTIVAL.

AND THE REPORT REALLY HIGHLIGHTS EVERYTHING THAT WE DID, WHICH WAS A LOT.

AND I WANTED TO REALLY SAY A FEW THANK YOUS BECAUSE DIRECTOR WINER REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE GOAL WAS AND ALLOWED OUR COMMISSION TO RUN WITH IT SO THAT WE CAN BEGIN THIS OUTREACH TO THE PUBLIC.

HE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE, SO I WANTED TO THANK HIM FOR THAT.

JOHN CIAMPA HAS BEEN AMAZING PUTTING ALL OF THE INFORMATION, THE DETAILS AND THE FACTS TOGETHER, WHICH WE NEEDED FOR THAT PARTICULAR EVENT. AND I WANT TO ALSO THANK MY FELLOW COMMISSIONER WHO'S NOT HERE TONIGHT, COMMISSIONER ROWE, BECAUSE HE DID A LOT OF THE HEAVY LIFTING OF THE TENT AND THE TABLES AND THE SETUP.

HE WENT DOWN TO THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM AND TONI MORRISON HELPED HIM GET A NUMBER OF ARTIFACTS FOR, YOU KNOW, REALLY MADE THE BOOTH VERY NICE.

AND I WANT TO THANK ALSO MY FELLOW COMMISSIONER LANG, WHO CAME AND VOLUNTEERED AND ADDITIONALLY THE TWO STAFF MEMBERS WHO WERE THERE.

SO IT REALLY WAS A TEAM EFFORT AND IT WAS A GREAT EVENT.

SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE. GOT IT. YES. ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE. SO THE TAKEAWAY. THIS IS ALL IN THE BLUE FOLDER, MATERIALS FOR ANY OF THE PUBLIC WANTS TO KNOW.

[00:15:01]

AND B, IS IT SOMETHING WE WANT TO START DOING ON A REGULAR BASIS? IF YOU MEAN ARE WE GOING TO DO THE SUMMER FESTIVAL BOOTH AGAIN.

WELL THERE'S OTHER FESTIVALS AROUND HERE TOO, I MEAN.

WE COULD DO. YEAH. WELL, THE SUBCOMMITTEE NEEDS TO DEBRIEF NOW.

WE HAVEN'T MET YET, SO WE NEED TO SIT DOWN, AND WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE NEXT EVENT, WHICH WILL BE AT THE HISTORIC LIBRARY ON NOVEMBER 21ST.

SO EVERYBODY HOLD THE DATE. AND WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AND START PUTTING THE PLANS BEHIND THAT.

GIVEN THE SUCCESS OF THIS PARTICULAR EVENT WITH THE BOOTH, I THINK THAT IT'S JUST ONE OF MANY WAYS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE OUTREACHING TO THE COMMUNITY, NOT ONLY TO EDUCATE FOLKS ON THE PROGRAM, WHICH, YOU KNOW, BASED ON THE FOLKS WHO CAME BY, WE'RE SEEING THAT THERE'S A NEED. NOT EVERYBODY REALLY UNDERSTANDS THE PROCESS.

THE PROGRAM. SOME FOLKS DON'T EVEN REALLY KNOW ABOUT THE MILLS ACT, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, IMPACTFUL.

IF YOU HAVE YOUR HOUSE DESIGNATED AS A LANDMARK, YOU CAN ENTER INTO A MILLS ACT CONTRACT WITH THE CITY, WHICH HELPS YOU WITH YOUR TAXES, WHICH IN TURN HELPS YOU TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HISTORIC PROPERTY.

A NUMBER OF PEOPLE CAME BY, THEY FILLED OUT THIS FORM.

IT WAS REALLY NICE TO HAVE SEEN FOLKS WHO ACTUALLY ARE OWNERS OF HISTORIC HOMES.

WE HAD THREE OF THEM IN PARTICULAR, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTED TO KNOW MORE.

SO YES, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES, WE WILL HAVE MORE OF THESE EVENTS AS THEY ARE AVAILABLE.

OKAY. AND THIS NOVEMBER 21ST EVENT, IS THAT GOING TO BE WITH A COST ON IT? WELL, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AND WORK THROUGH.

WE HAVEN'T MET YET. OKAY. SO WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH A BUDGET.

BUT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT WE WANT TO DO FIRST.

OKAY. SO YOU THINK WE'LL GET IT BY THE OCTOBER MEETING, ALL THAT KIND OF INFORMATION? WELL, WE SHOULD BE MEETING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

SENIOR PLANNER CIAMPA IS GOING TO PUT TOGETHER A MEETING.

I ACTUALLY GOT AN EMAIL BEFORE I CAME HERE TONIGHT, AND WE SHOULD BE MEETING WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

SO HOPEFULLY WE SHOULD HAVE SOME DIRECTION BY THE NEXT MEETING.

SO MAYBE WE COULD PUT TOGETHER A ROUGH BUDGET TO DISCUSS WITH THE COMMISSION.

OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO ADD A COUPLE THINGS TO.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHO HERE. WELL, I DON'T THINK ANYONE HERE EXCEPT FOR US ACTUALLY SAW THE BOOTH SET UP.

AND SO I WANTED TO JUST TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MADE IT REALLY ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC.

LIKE THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CAME UP TO US.

SO WE HAD PICTURES FROM THE MUSEUM. WE HAD A FEW FRAMED LIKE MEMORABILIA ITEMS. WE HAD AN OLD ROTARY PHONE, AND THEN WE HAD A TON OF ALBUMS WITH OLD PHOTOS OF REDONDO BEACH.

WE ALSO HAD AN INTERACTIVE GAME AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE INTERESTED.

SO NOT ONLY REDONDO BEACH RESIDENTS, BUT PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN PV AND TORRANCE AND PEOPLE WERE MUCH MORE INTERESTED THAN I EXPECTED THEM TO BE.

AND TO ME, IT REALLY SPOKE TO PEOPLE'S INTEREST IN UNDERSTANDING OUR CITY AND ITS PAST.

BUT MAYBE WE HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO BRING IT TO THEM BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, MIGHT NOT TAKE TIME OUT OF THEIR SATURDAY TO GO VISIT THE MUSEUM.

SO I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS A SUCCESS AND TO SEE THAT INTEREST WAS REALLY HELPFUL TOO, BECAUSE THEN WE KNOW WE CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE THESE EFFORTS WITH OUTREACH. OKAY. THANK YOU.

I DO WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER GALASSI FOR ALL THE WORK THAT SHE DID WITH THAT.

SHE'S GOT A FULL PLATE AND SHE STILL MANAGED TO GET ALL THE PIECES ORGANIZED AND TOGETHER.

OKAY. THAT TAKES CARE OF THE PRESERVATION OUTREACH SUBCOMMITTEE.

THE RESEARCH OF THE HISTORY OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY IN REDONDO BEACH.

SO LAST MONTH, WE HAD AN AGENDA ITEM THAT TALKED ABOUT HOW TO GO ABOUT.

AND I THREW OUT AN OPTION THAT I HAD PROPOSED YOUR.

THIS COMMISSION GAVE ME AUTHORITY TO GO SPEAK TO THE COUNCIL WITH REGARDS TO SOME OF THOSE ALTERNATIVES.

EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM I WAS SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION, I STILL GOT CUT OFF FOR THREE MINUTES.

AND I'M STILL WORKING ON FIGURING OUT HOW TO ACTUALLY FIT WITHIN THREE MINUTES.

SO THEY ONLY GOT TWO THIRDS OF IT. THEY ASKED FOR SOMETHING IN WRITING.

I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING TOGETHER A LETTER WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT TO BE ABLE TO WRITE SOMETHING.

[00:20:03]

SO I'LL BE LOOKING FOR THAT. I DID WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I DID A LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH ON WHAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR. AND IT WAS CLEAR THAT COUNCILMAN OBAGI INITIALLY SAID, HEY, IT NEEDS TO GO TO THE ARTWORK. SUBSEQUENT EMAILS, HE SAID, YOU GUYS CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.

THERE WAS IN 2023, A RESOLUTION AND A MOTION THAT WAS APPROVED THAT ACTUALLY GAVE IT EVEN BROADER DISCRETION.

IT WAS BASICALLY THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION WAS TO IDENTIFY ACTIONS BY THE CITY AND ITS HISTORY THAT CELEBRATES THE LGBT COMMUNITY. AND THAT WAS THE BASIS FOR THE REQUEST TO DO SOMETHING BROADER.

IN THE MEANTIME, CONGRESSMAN LIEU HAS ACTUALLY PROPOSED SOMETHING THAT MAY BE A GRANT OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS AS WELL.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE AT THIS POINT.

I DO WANT TO GET SOMETHING TO THE COUNCIL SOONER THAN LATER.

SO IF I CAN GET A MOTION THAT AUTHORIZES THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR THAT EXPRESSES DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND GIVES THEM CHOICES INCORPORATING COMMISSIONER LANG WHO I THINK, SMILED AND SAID, YES, AS THE EDITOR OF IT AND WORKING THROUGH THE LIAISON.

SO I'LL MAKE THAT AS A MOTION. CAN I GET A SECOND? CAN I JUST CLARIFY? SO WE HAVE MINUTES THAT GO OVER WHAT WE DISCUSSED.

SO WE WOULD JUST BE PULLING FROM THE MINUTES OR FROM YOUR RECOLLECTION OF WHAT WAS DISCUSSED, OR. YEAH. WELL, WHEN WE GET TO THE MINUTES, WE'LL HAVE A NICE DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.

BUT IT MOSTLY IS FROM THE MINUTES, BUT ALSO THE ADDITIONAL RESEARCH THAT CAN.

BECAUSE WHAT ENDED UP TAKING A LITTLE BIT OF THE TIME IS EXPLAINING THE CONTEXT THAT WE HAD, THE DISCUSSION, WE NEVER GOT THROUGH ONE AND A HALF OF THE THREE OPTIONS I PRESENTED TO THEM.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF, THIS IS THE PRESENTATION I DID.

I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE HANDING MY SLOPPY NOTES AND HANDWRITING TO THEM, BUT IT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT WE'LL, AGAIN, DISCUSS THE OPTIONS, AS YOU GUYS TOLD ME TO DO WITH THE ORAL PRESENTATION, BUT JUST IN A WRITTEN FORM COMING FROM THE COMMISSION.

OKAY. SO YOU'RE GOING TO. WE VOTE TO GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO GENERATE A LETTER.

DOES THE LETTER COME BACK AND WE GET TO SEE IT TO VOTE TO APPROVE IT? IT'S GOING TO BE EDITED THROUGH OUR EDITOR AND THEN THE LIAISON AND LIAISON WILL DECIDE IF IT'S READY TO GO OUT.

DO YOU WANT IT TO COME BACK? IT CAN. I MEAN, JUST THINK WE'RE JUST GIVING YOU PERMISSION TO SEND A LETTER TO CITY COUNCIL.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S A DRAFT LETTER. YEAH, BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME PERMISSION TO ORALLY PRESENT IT ALREADY.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE SAFEGUARDS OF HAVING OUR LIAISON GO OVER IT AS WELL.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE SAFEGUARDS OF HAVING SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS HOW TO CREATE WORDS IN A WAY THAT ACTUALLY HAVE SOME IMPACT, BUT IT'S BASICALLY COVERING THE THREE OPTIONS THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED AT THE LAST MEETING.

I GUESS I'M ASKING BECAUSE I WAS ABSENT AT THE LAST MEETING, SO I'M JUST KIND OF GOING ON THE MINUTES. SO I'M CATCHING UP.

YEAH. IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY. I'VE READ THE MINUTES ON THAT SECTION PRETTY THOROUGHLY AND IT'S GOING TO DOVETAIL A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT'S IN THERE, JUST MAYBE FORMATTED IN A DIFFERENT METHODOLOGY.

DO WE NEED TO GET THE LETTERS SOON? IS THAT WHY WE DON'T WANT TO BRING IT BACK? IF YOU GENERATE A LETTER AND THEN NEXT MONTH WE VOTE ON THE LETTER, OR IS THAT JUST.

I THINK THIS PROCESS STARTED IN MARCH. AND SO.

I'M ACTUALLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT ACTUALLY NOT HAVING EVERYTHING STALL.

RIGHT. AT THE COMMISSION LEVEL. IF YOU WANT IT BACK, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

BUT I'VE NOTICED WHEN WE DID THIS WITH THE LIBRARY COMMISSION.

WHEN YOU GET INTO A DRAFTING BY COMMITTEE, IT ENDS UP GOING IN ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

[00:25:01]

SO AGAIN, IT'LL BE FILTERED THROUGH THE LIAISON, SO.

AND WHO'S THE LIAISON? SO YOU. OKAY. YEAH. AND HE'S DONE THESE.

WHEN WE WERE IN THE LIBRARY COMMISSION, HE USED TO HAVE ALL THESE LETTERS GO THROUGH THEM ANYWAY.

RIGHT. FOR BUDGETARY. I REMEMBER WE TRIED TO DO A LETTER A WHILE BACK, AND WE KIND OF RAN INTO THE SAME SORT OF THING, RIGHT WHERE WE WANTED TO BRING IT BACK. I FORGET WHAT IT WAS, BUT I KNOW IT SLOWS THINGS DOWN, SO. I MEAN, I THINK NOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT AND YOU REMINDED US THAT IN THE LAST MEETING, WE SUGGESTED YOU TAKE WHAT WE DISCUSSED AND BRING IT TO COUNCIL.

LIKE THAT MAKES MORE SENSE TO JUST LET YOU DO A WRITTEN VERSION BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T.

IN THREE MINUTES, SO. YEAH. YEAH, I THINK IT'S SUFFICIENT IF IT'S GOING TO GO THROUGH OUR LIAISON ANYWAY.

SO I THINK THAT'S SUFFICIENT. JUST IT'S ONLY A REC.

YOU KNOW, THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO. AND I'VE BEEN REMINDED IS OUR LANE IS JUST TO RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL AND TAKE WHAT THEY SAY AND DO IT BACK.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO LAY OUT SOME OPTIONS AND THEY CAN GIVE US CLEARER DIRECTION.

THEY ASKED FOR, RIGHT? THEY ASKED FOR THAT. THAT'S CORRECT.

AND THAT'S WHY I WAS SURPRISED THAT THREE MINUTES NOBODY SAID, CAN WE EXTEND IT FOR ANOTHER MINUTE.

BUT APPARENTLY THAT'S THE WAY IT IS NOWADAYS.

WELL THANK YOU FOR GOING TO THE BOARD OR THIS COUNCIL.

NO PROBLEM. SO I GOT A SECOND, I BELIEVE. NO.

OH DID WE? I SECOND THAT. OKAY. MOTION. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY. THEN ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. ANYBODY OPPOSED, SAY NO. OKAY. SO I'LL JUST ABSTAIN JUST BECAUSE.

OKAY. I WASN'T HERE. SO IT'S 3 0. 3 OR 3. WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S THREE PEOPLE YES. NOBODY NO. AND ONE PERSON ABSTAINED.

AND TWO ABSENCES. I THINK THAT'S HOW IT WORKS OUT.

THERE'S FOUR OF US THAT SAID, YES. THERE'S FIVE HERE.

THERE'S FIVE HERE. YEAH. FOUR YES. ONE ABSTAINED.

TWO ABSENT. OH, OKAY. MY MATH IS OFF TODAY. THANK YOU.

RECOGNITION PRESERVATION SUBCOMMITTEE. NOTHING NEW HAS HAPPENED.

I DID PRESENT THE. IF YOU RECALL, WE HAD THE BOARD OF ALL THE DIFFERENT GARNETT HISTORIC DISTRICT SIGNS.

I DID SHOW THE COUNCIL THEM AS WELL. I DID MANUFACTURE THEM.

THEY'RE NOT THAT EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE. AND I GAVE A FRAMED ONE SIGNED BY THE ARTIST TO COUNCILMAN CASTLE, AND I GAVE A UNFRAMED ONE TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR HIM TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO.

AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE CITY HAS APPROVED THE FONT.

YOU PROBABLY KNOW MORE. BUT THAT'S WHERE IT SITS.

THE SIGN'S NOT UP, BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT AT THIS POINT.

AND WE'RE LOOKING AT OTHER WAYS TO RECOGNIZE HOMES CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THE OUTREACH.

OKAY. SO THAT'S THE RECOGNITION BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE.

COMMISSIONER LANG AND YOUSUFZAI. ANY FOLLOW UPS ON THE BUDGET THAT YOU WANT TO DISCUSS? NO, AND I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THIS ONE TOO. SO WE TALKED WHEN, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK IT WAS BACK IN OCTOBER WHEN THE NEW KIND OF GUIDELINES CAME OUT FOR COMMISSIONS ABOUT HAVING AN END DATE FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEES WE TALKED ABOUT.

WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE NOW TO DISSOLVE THIS AND THEN TAKE IT BACK UP IF WE WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN NEXT BUDGET CYCLE, OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD JUST KEEP OPEN BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR? I ACTUALLY DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO READ OUR NEW GUIDELINES THAT GOT EMAILED TO US BEFOREHAND.

DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON IT? WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT TWO MORE MEETINGS TO GO BEFORE THIS YEAR IS UP ANYWAY.

I BELIEVE THE DECISION WAS, WHEN IT WAS CREATED, THAT WE WOULD REEVALUATE AT THE END OF THE MAXIMUM TERM, WHICH IS ONE YEAR. THAT WAY WE COULD KIND OF KEEP IT EVERGREEN BECAUSE THE BUDGET IS CERTAINLY ON A SCHEDULE, BUT WE REALIZE IT TAKES TIME TO GET THINGS TOGETHER.

AND WE KIND OF FELT. I WOULDN'T SAY WE. THE COMMISSION FELT THAT AT BEING A LITTLE BIT OF A MOVING TARGET, HAVING SOME TIME TO PREP IN ADVANCE. SO I THINK WE CAN TABLE THAT.

[00:30:02]

SO AGAIN, IT'S UP TO THE COMMISSION'S DISCRETION, BUT I THINK THAT WAS KIND OF THE SPIRIT OF THE MOTION WHEN THE COMMISSION CREATED THE BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YEAH.

ALSO, IF I CAN SAY ONE THING TO THAT TOO. I THINK, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WE HAD PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED TO LEAVE IT OPEN BECAUSE THEY'RE ITEMS FOR THE ANNUAL BUDGET, WHICH FISCAL YEAR JUST STARTED JULY 1ST.

AND THEN THERE'S ITEMS FOR MID-YEAR. SO THERE'S ITEMS IN BETWEEN THOSE THINGS.

SO IF SOMETHING COMES UP, IF THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION FROM SOMEBODY TO, YOU KNOW, PRESENT AS A BUDGET ITEM TO COUNCIL, THEN WE HAVE TWO WINDOWS IN THE YEAR TO PRESENT THAT.

OKAY, GREAT. AND I WOULD, SINCE WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY BRING IT UP IN THE OCTOBER MEETING AGAIN TO RENEW, IF WE DO, IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR THINGS THAT YOU SAW SHOULD IMPROVE THE PROCESS, BY ALL MEANS BRING IT UP BEFORE THEN SO THAT WE CAN CONSIDER IT COME THE OCTOBER MEETING.

OKAY. THAT'S ALL WE HAVE ON THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

SO CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THESE ORAL REPORTS AND ONE WRITTEN REPORT? SO MOVED. THANK YOU. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AT ALL? NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO.

OKAY. SO WE HAVE RECEIVED AND FILED ALL THOSE REPORTS.

SO THAT TAKES CARE OF L.1. AND L.2. NOW WE'RE MOVING TO ITEM H WHICH IS THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON AGENDA ITEMS.

[H. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]

WE PROBABLY SHOULD GET NEW BROWN ACT TRAINING AT SOME POINT.

SO WE NEED TO ALTERNATE BETWEEN LIVE PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE ONLINE.

SO I'LL START OFF. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE? THERE'S NOBODY ONLINE. OKAY. WE HAVE ONE PERSON IN THE AUDIENCE.

DID YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT? OKAY. SO I GUESS WE HAVE NO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION TODAY, SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.

SCHOOL'S OUT. EX PARTY. THE NEXT ITEM. WE'RE MOVING FROM PUBLIC PARTICIPATION TO ITEM M,

[M. ITEMS FROM STAFF]

AND WHEN WE MOVE TO CONSENT, IF YOU WANT TO PULL THAT AND ASK QUESTIONS, YOU CAN.

BUT NO ITEMS. YOU ALL RECEIVED THE RULES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

WE CAN CONFER WITH CITY CLERK. I WILL SAY THAT CITY CLERK IS PLANNING REVISE ORIENTATION ON THOSE RULES.

SO COMMISSIONERS WILL GET ADDITIONAL TRAINING.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT TAKES CARE OF ITEM M. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY. YES. GO AHEAD. JUST A COMMENDATION TO CITY STAFF ON THE 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS.

THAT WAS A FANTASTIC JOB. THANK YOU ALL FOR. I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT.

NOT JUST YOU GUYS, BUT ALL THE CITY STAFF. SO.

NOW WE GO TO ITEM N, WHICH IS COMMISSION REFERRALS TO STAFF.

[N. COMMISSION REFERRALS TO STAFF]

SO I'M GOING TO START WITH YOU, COMMISSIONER GALASSI.

IF YOU HAVE ANY REFERRALS TO STAFF. I JUST HAVE ONE.

THE SNEARY PARKETTE SIGN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

IT'S LIVED ITS BEST LIFE. IS THIS LIKE THE MONUMENT SIGN WHEN YOU ENTER? YEAH, IT'S THE ONE. IT'S THE SIGN THAT INDICATES THE PARK.

YEAH. OKAY. IT'S RIGHT ON FORD AND. BELMONT. BELMONT.

THANK YOU. OKAY, I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT. OKAY.

ANYTHING ELSE? THAT'S IT. OKAY. COMMISSIONER MCCAULEY, ANYTHING? NO, SIR. COMMISSIONER LANG. I DO HAVE SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO REVIVE FROM RECREATION AND PARKS, AND I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE PATH FORWARD WOULD BE, BUT I WANTED TO BRING IT UP AGAIN.

SO IN RECREATION AND PARKS, WE INVITED A MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL BOARD TO COME AND DISCUSS OPENING UP EXTRA FIELDS AND PLAY YARDS FOR THE KIDS. AND JUST LIKE A REALLY BRIEF HISTORY, A LOT OF SCHOOLS THAT WERE CLOSED AND LAND THAT WAS THEN LEASED OFF TO LIKE BUSINESSES, THEY HAD PUBLIC PARK SPACE ATTACHED TO THEM.

SO I THINK THAT MIGHT BE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE SO PARK POOR, IS BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR PARKS WERE SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY.

[00:35:02]

AND I WAS ACTUALLY SPEAKING WITH ONE OF THE COUNCIL PEOPLE AT THE RIVIERA VILLAGE FESTIVAL, AND HE HAD SOME YOUNG PEOPLE COME AND APPROACH HIM AND ASK FOR NEW BASKETBALL HOOPS TO.

AND ANYWAY, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE VERY MONUMENTAL TO GET THOSE FUNDED AND INSTALLED IN A PARK RIGHT NOW.

AND THEY SAID THAT THEY USED TO PLAY BASKETBALL AT A SCHOOL, AND THE SCHOOL CLOSED DURING COVID AND THEY WERE NEVER REOPENED.

AND SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF VALUE IN PURSUING THIS CONVERSATION AND OPENING IT BACK UP IF WE CAN. AND SO I COULD GO ON, BUT I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.

OKAY.

THAT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 3 OR 4 YEARS AGO, PROBABLY.

AND AT THAT TIME, THE COMMISSION DID. I DON'T REMEMBER IF THERE'S A SUBCOMMITTEE OR NOT, BUT THE COMMISSION AS A WHOLE DID RECOMMEND AFTER THAT PRESENTATION FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER TO FORWARD THE REQUEST ON FROM COUNCIL TO CONSIDER STARTING THAT NEGOTIATION WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE DID SHARE IT WITH THE COUNCIL. AND WHAT I RECALL, THEIR RESPONSE WAS, IS THAT IT WASN'T A PRIORITY FOR THEM AT THE MOMENT BASED OFF OF OTHER ITEMS THAT WERE ON THEIR LIST THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO CERTAINLY NOT THAT THEY DON'T AGREE WITH THE APPROACH, JUST IT WASN'T IN THERE WITHIN THEIR RESOURCE LIST AT THE TIME.

SO IT'S REALLY UP TO THE COMMISSION AT THIS POINT. AT THIS TIME, THE ITEM IS KIND OF BEEN TABLED.

SO IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO RECONSIDER IT, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A FUTURE DISCUSSION AND HAVE YOU GUYS GIVE US THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE THAT REQUEST AGAIN WITH THE CITY COUNCIL. THAT WOULD BE THE BEST METHOD FORWARD.

I'M ALSO CURIOUS IF IT WOULD BE VALUABLE TO, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER DISTRICTS WHO OPEN THEIR PLAY YARDS.

AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF ANECDOTAL AND DATA AND THAT COULD BE PRESENTED TO THEM.

AND SO I'M NOT SURE IF THAT. BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD AND APPEAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL, I WOULD LOVE TO PUT TOGETHER A REPORT OR JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEXT.

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT WE INCLUDED ANY OF THAT KIND OF STUFF IN THE FIRST GO ROUND.

YEAH. WE DID NOT. AND IF THE COMMISSION DECIDES THAT THAT SOUNDS VALUABLE OR LIKE SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO TAKE ON, THAT KIND OF WORK WOULD HAPPEN IN A SUBCOMMITTEE, RIGHT? I DON'T THINK WE EVER HAD A SUBCOMMITTEE ON IT.

I DON'T RECALL THAT WE DID, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF THE TOPIC.

AND JUST KIND OF ANECDOTALLY IN MY END WITH MY EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER AGENCIES, THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT MODELS FOR THIS, BUT IT REALLY JUST COMES DOWN TO LIABILITY CONCERNS ON BOTH ENDS.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE MAINTENANCE AND ONGOING CARE OF WHATEVER FACILITY IS NOW BEING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC VERSUS WHAT WAS FORMERLY CLOSED OFF.

SO IF THERE WERE TO BE A SUBCOMMITTEE CREATED, I WOULD RECOMMEND LOOKING REALLY AT THOSE TWO KEY THINGS.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S PROBABLY A FEW OTHER KIND OF OUTLIERS TO LOOK AT, BUT THOSE ARE REALLY THE TWO THINGS THAT TYPICALLY MAKE THESE CONVERSATIONS MUCH MORE COMPLICATED. RIGHT. DIRECTOR ORTA, I HAVE A QUESTION.

IF THOSE FACILITIES WERE TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, COULD WE USE, FOR EXAMPLE, QUIMBY FUNDS TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS? I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT SPECIFICALLY.

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU THE WRONG ANSWER. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS AN ACCEPTABLE USE OF QUIMBY FUNDS, BUT CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK INTO IF WE LOOKED AT THAT.

THEY'RE USUALLY THE REGIONAL PARKS. THAT'S WHERE I'M.

AND IT WAS LIKE, NO. JUST NOT SURE. I'D HAVE TO GO LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS.

I THINK THIS IS KIND OF THE GRAY AREA. BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT IF THE COMMISSION MOVED IT FORWARD TO ASK THE QUESTION.

YEAH. THANK YOU. HOW ARE YOU MAKING A MOTION TO AGENDIZE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE COMMUNITY SERVICES CAN REVIEW IT BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING AND DECIDE IF IT'S SOMETHING THEY WANT TO EXPLORE OR NOT.

IS THAT A MOTION COMING FROM YOU? SAY THAT LAST PART AGAIN, ABOUT THEM DECIDING IF THEY WANT TO EXPLORE IT? WELL, EVERYTHING THAT COMES TO US GETS FILTERED THROUGH THE LIAISONS AND THE DEPARTMENTS.

SO IF YOU OPEN THE DISCUSSION AND SAY, YES, WE'RE INTERESTED IN HAVING AN AGENDIZED, I WOULD EXPECT COMMUNITY SERVICES WOULD IN THAT TIME, BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING, FIGURE OUT IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN COME BACK AND GIVE US A REALLY QUICK RESPONSE,

[00:40:02]

I SEE. AND THEN IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY THINK THAT THEY WANT OUR HELP WITH, THEN THEY CAN SAY YES.

YOU CAN FORM YOUR SUBCOMMITTEE. SO I GUESS IT'S LIKE YOU GUYS HAVE VETO POWER.

I KNOW. I WAS, YEAH, SORT OF THINKING ABOUT THAT TOO.

YEAH. AND I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT YOU, BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO MISS ON THIS THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE A COMMISSION DRIVEN ITEM.

THIS TOPIC IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

IT'S NOTHING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS DIRECTED US AS STAFF TO DO.

AND SO IF THE COMMISSION WANTED TO MOVE THIS FORWARD, IT WOULD NEED TO BE DRIVEN BY THE COMMISSION.

AND SO BY THAT, TO YOUR POINT, CHAIR MAROKO, THE REPORT, IF I WERE TO ENVISION IT RIGHT NOW, WOULD JUST SIMPLY BE A QUICK OUTLINE OF WHAT WE JUST DISCUSSED WITH BRIEF HISTORY, AND THEN MAYBE SOME JUST VERY KIND OF PIE IN THE SKY THOUGHTS OF IT.

BUT THEN THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD JUST BE FOR THE COMMISSION TO CONSIDER WHETHER THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THIS INITIATIVE FORWARD.

WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY SUPPORT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, BUT WE WOULD NOT.

UNTIL THE COUNCIL REVIEWS YOUR RECOMMENDATION OR IF THEY WANT TO INITIATE THIS ON THEIR OWN, WE WOULD NOT ADD THIS TO OUR WORK PLAN. WHAT THE REPORT WOULD WOULD ENTAIL.

I KIND OF ASSUMED THAT THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT, IF THERE WAS A SUBCOMMITTEE, WE WOULD JUST WORK ON IT.

AND THEN AT SOME POINT, IF IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL WAS INTERESTED IN, YOU KNOW, THEY COULD MAYBE MAKE A DECISION BASED ON WHAT WE BRING THEM.

POTENTIALLY, YEAH, THEY COULD ALWAYS ADD IT TO EITHER OUR STRATEGIC PLAN OR JUST DIRECT STAFF TO WORK ON IT AT ANY POINT DURING THE YEAR.

BUT IT DOES CREATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION WITH OUR LIAISON FIRST BECAUSE HE'LL TALK TO THE DEPARTMENT AND YOU'LL GET THEIR TAKE ON IT.

AND THEN AGAIN, AS YOU'VE SEEN, WE MAY AGENDIZE SOMETHING.

IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN IT'S GOING TO SHOW UP ON OUR AGENDA. YEAH.

COMMISSIONER LANG, IF I COULD SUGGEST WE KIND OF.

WITH THE FACILITY USERS COMMITTEE. KIND OF ALREADY CAN DO IT THERE.

YEAH. YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF WE DON'T NEED A NEW COMMITTEE. OKAY. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IT'S A USER ISSUE.

AND WE COULD BRING INTO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES, WHICH SOMETIMES COMES TO OUR MEETINGS ANYWAY.

YEAH. AND KIND OF GET THE BALL ROLLING. BUT I DO RECALL THERE WAS SOME SORT OF NEGOTIATIONS THAT WAS INITIATED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH THE CITY, OR THEY WERE DISCUSSING A POSSIBLE LEASE OF SOME OF THOSE FACILITIES.

AND THEN THAT JUST KIND OF STOPPED. I BELIEVE IT MIGHT STILL BE ONGOING.

THERE'S SEVERAL TOPICS, BUT THE CITY COUNCIL DOES HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT THAT COMMUNICATES WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS.

RIGHT. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY THOSE TOPICS ARE THOUGH, SO I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK TO.

WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING OF THE ACTUAL CONTENT.

OTHER THAN THAT, THERE WAS SOME SORT OF. THERE WERE DISCUSSIONS OF, I THINK IT WAS LEASING.

I MIGHT BE MISSPEAKING ON THAT, BUT THERE WAS DEFINITELY COMMUNICATION, BECAUSE WE HAD REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD WHEN WE WERE ON THE PARKS COMMISSION.

AND THEN I BELIEVE WE ALSO HAD A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD ON THIS COMMISSION AT SOME POINT HAD COME TO US.

I MISS. MAYBE IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO. THAT WAS A WHILE AGO.

BUT AGAIN, FROM THAT, THERE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SOME SORT OF A DISCUSSION, BUT A LOT OF TIME HAS GONE BY.

I DO THINK THAT WE COULD BE EXPLORED THROUGH.

THAT WOULD BE THE WAY TO DO IT, TO KIND OF GET THE BALL ROLLING. YEAH. BECAUSE THEN WE COULD SEE GET COMMUNITY OUTREACH.

AND IF THE COMMUNITY IS BEHIND IT, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD KIND OF PUSH IT FORWARD.

YEAH. OKAY. I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, IF WE'RE.

I'M FINE WITH THAT. YEAH, WE COULD DO. I MEAN, WE KIND OF DO THE ANNUAL MEETING, BUT WE COULD DO OTHER MEETINGS AND WE COULD ALSO DO TARGETED TOPIC SPECIFIC MEETINGS AS WELL. YEAH, I AM.

OKAY. SO WE CAN JUST KIND OF TALK OFFLINE AT SOME POINT AND KIND OF FIGURE THAT OUT.

BUT I DO RECALL THE LIABILITY WAS, WHAT I'VE HEARD, PRETTY CLEAR WAS THE ISSUE, THE INSURANCE.

WELL, WE SHOULDN'T BE TALKING EXTENSIVELY ON THE TOPIC, BUT.

JUST THAT THAT WAS. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S WORKED ITSELF OUT AND I WAS BRING IT BACK NEXT MONTH IF YOU WANT.

OKAY. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? NO. OKAY. COMMISSIONER YOUSUFZAI.

I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION. REGARDING, LIKE, MAINTENANCE OF THE PLAYGROUNDS AT ANDERSON PARK.

ARE THOSE LIKE. AND I HAVE NO IDEA, LIKE, IF HOW THEY'RE MAINTAINED.

LIKE, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE LIKE, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC WORKS COMES AND LIKE, BLOWS THE LEAVES AND WHATNOT, BUT IS THERE LIKE A REGULAR SCHEDULE THAT THOSE ARE LIKE CLEANED OR ANYTHING TO THAT NATURE?

[00:45:03]

STRUCTURE. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY IF THAT IS IN SOME SORT OF WORK PLAN.

I WOULD HAVE TO ASK PUBLIC WORKS SPECIFICALLY. THEY WOULD BE THE ONES THAT WOULD TAKE THAT ON, WHETHER IT BE INTERNAL STAFF DOING IT OR THEY HAVE A CONTRACTED COMPANY COMING OUT.

SO I WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW UP WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON THAT.

OKAY. THE ONLY REASON I'M ASKING IS LIKE, I'VE BEEN GOING PRETTY CONSISTENTLY TO ANDERSON PARK AND LIKE THE TODDLER PLAYGROUND SECTION.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST FOOT TRAFFIC FROM SUMMER OR WHAT, BUT IT'S LIKE A WRECK.

IT'S DIRTY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN KEPT.

LIKE I'M WIPING DUST OFF OF EVERYTHING GOING DOWN.

I MEAN, IT'S A PARK, BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS. I FEEL LIKE THE LAST COUPLE TIMES WE'VE BEEN GOING, IT JUST LOOKS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, SO. ENOUGH TO WHERE I WOULD ASK YOU ABOUT IT.

YEAH. NO PROBLEM. I CAN REACH OUT AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE THERE.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S IT. I GOT THREE THINGS AND IT'S ALL GOING TO PARKS AS WELL.

THERE WAS A PERSON YESTERDAY AT THE COUNCIL MEETING WHO WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS BROUGHT UP, THAT THE SCHOOLS ARE LOCKED, SO THEY DON'T HAVE THE SOCCER FIELDS.

AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT SOME SORT OF ASPHALT SOCCER THING.

SO I ASSUME YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT IT AT THIS POINT, BUT I JUST WAS BRINGING THAT UP AGAIN AS PART OF THAT.

DID THE SECOND PARK RANGER GET IMPLEMENTED AT THAT WILDERNESS PARK? NO. NO ADDITIONAL FUNDING WAS PROVIDED IN THE BUDGET FOR THAT.

AND SO OUR TASK WAS TO LOOK AT WAYS THAT WE COULD EITHER MODIFY THE SCHEDULING OR WORK WITHIN OUR CURRENT BUDGET TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL SUPPORT DOWN THERE, WHETHER IT BE DURING CERTAIN HOURS OR KIND OF ACROSS THE BOARD.

SO WE'RE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT THAT A LITTLE FURTHER, BUT NO ADDITIONAL FUNDING WAS PROVIDED.

OKAY. AND THEN I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO DO A TREE PRESERVATION COMMITTEE OR NOT, OR DO YOU WANT TO WAIT ON THAT, AND EXPLORE MORE? OR. LET'S WAIT ON IT. OKAY.

SO THAT'S IT FOR ME. SO WE HAVE NOW FINISHED COMMISSIONER REFERRALS TO STAFF.

WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO ITEM F, WHICH IS THE CONSENT CALENDAR.

[F. CONSENT CALENDAR]

APPROVE THE REDONDO BEACH PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES.

RECEIVE AND FILE THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR'S REPORT.

AND RECEIVE UPDATES FROM COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT RELATED TO HISTORICAL PARKS AND RECREATION.

I'LL START WITH COMMISSIONER MCCAULEY. DO YOU WANT TO PULL ANYTHING FROM THAT? NO. I'M GOOD. COMMISSIONER. GALASSI. NO, THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER LANG. NO, I'M GOOD. AND COMMISSIONER YOUSUFZAI.

NO, THANK YOU. OKAY. I'M GOING TO PULL THE MINUTES.

AND SO CAN I GET A VOTE TO APPROVE ITEMS F.1, F.3 AND F.4? I'LL MOVE THAT. SECOND. OKAY. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT, AS FAR AS YOUR REPORT? NO. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? NO. THANK YOU. OKAY.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF F.1, F.3, AND F.4 SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. SO THOSE THREE ARE APPROVED.

WE NOW MOVE TO THE EXCLUDED CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS, WHICH IS THE MINUTES FROM JUNE 10TH,

[G. EXCLUDED CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS]

I DON'T KNOW WHO PROOFREAD IT. WHEN IT GETS TO YOU, THIS WAS PROBABLY MORE OF A FOLLOW THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE YOUTUBE VIDEO THAN MORE THAN IT DID BEING ACTUAL MINUTES. BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT.

AND IT'S ON PAGE 7 OF 17 THAT IT SAYS IN THE THIRD PARAGRAPH DOWN MIKE JIN WITH THE J.

HE'S A FORMER MAYOR. HE SHOULD BE NOTED CORRECTLY SPELLED WITH THE G.

AND P. FLAG IS ALL ONE WORD OR ONE ACRONYM COMBINED.

AND IT'S ALL CAPITALIZED IN THAT SAME PARAGRAPH.

SO AGAIN, IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REVISED.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE VOTING IN FAVOR OF IT, BUT THE MINUTES.

BUT IF ANYBODY WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES, PLEASE DO.

[00:50:03]

ARE YOU MAKING A MOTION? TO DO SO. I'M ASKING IF SOMEBODY WILL MAKE A MOTION TO EITHER APPROVE IT OR TABLE IT.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM TABLING IT BECAUSE I THINK IT DOES NEED TO BE PROOFREAD.

BUT THAT'S MY OPINION. I'M ONLY ONE VOTE OUT OF THE GROUP.

CHAIR MAROKO. ARE THERE ANY OTHER OUTSTANDING THINGS TO BE CORRECTED OR CAN WE MOVE THE MINUTES TO APPROVE THE MINUTES WITH THOSE CORRECTIONS THAT YOU NOTED? I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME OTHER CORRECTIONS IN THERE, BUT THEY'RE NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NECESSARILY HOLD UP.

AS I SAID, IT DOES MIRROR WHAT'S ON THE YOUTUBE TRANSCRIPT.

I DON'T CONSIDER THESE MINUTES. THESE ARE MORE OF A TRANSCRIPTION.

AND IT'S A LOSING BATTLE THAT I'VE BEEN FIGHTING SINCE I WAS ON THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

BUT MINUTES SHOULD BE REALLY ACTION ITEMS AND ANYTHING RELEVANT THERE.

SO I'M VOTING NO ON IT REGARDLESS, BUT IT IS MORE OR LESS OTHER THAN THOSE CORRECTIONS, SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, DOES FOLLOW WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENED AT THE MEETING.

AND THAT'S MY FIRST CONCERN IS IF IT DOES OR NOT, DOESN'T.

SO AS I SAID, I'M VOTING NO ON IT REGARDLESS.

SO IF YOU WANT TO APPROVE IT, PLEASE DO. IF YOU WANT TO TABLE IT SO THAT THE STAFF CAN PROOFREAD IT AND BRING IT WITH ALL THE CORRECTIONS ON IT. YOU'RE WELCOME TO DO THAT TOO. I THINK THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO OPTIONS REALLY WE HAVE ON THIS.

YES. I MEAN, ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE IN THE PAST APPROVED WITH CORRECTIONS, BUT IF YOU BELIEVE THERE'S TOO MANY ERRORS.

AND WE'RE HAPPY TO MAKE THOSE CORRECTIONS AND BRING THEM BACK. SO WHATEVER IS THE PLEASURE OF THE COMMISSION.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN THERE'S BEEN SOME TYPOS AND WE'VE APPROVED.

AS LONG AS THE CONTENT WAS CORRECT, WE'VE GONE BACK AND FINISHED THE.

AND I THINK THE CONTENT IS CORRECT BECAUSE IT DOES TRANSCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT'S ON THE YOUTUBE VIDEO, SO. CAN I ASK A QUESTION? I THINK I'VE ASKED THIS BEFORE, LIKE MONTHS AGO, BUT PARDON ME IF IT'S KIND OF REDUNDANT AND I FORGOT ABOUT HOW YOU ANSWERED THIS. HOW DOES THE CITY TRANSPOSE THE MINUTES? DO YOU GUYS USE GRANICUS OR DO YOU GUYS USE SOMETHING ELSE? OR IS. WE WORK WITH THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE AND THERE ARE ACTUALLY A MINUTES SECRETARY THAT'S ASSIGNED TO COMMISSION AND COUNCIL TO WORK.

AND I CAN'T GET INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW MYSELF AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THEM, BUT WE WORK WITH A REPRESENTATIVE THAT SUBMITS IT TO US FOR REVIEW.

AND IF WE DIDN'T CATCH THOSE TYPOS, I MEAN, THAT'S ON US.

AND I SPEAK PERSONALLY, IT'S ON ME. SO WE'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY.

WE HAD ACTUALLY A PRETTY GOOD RUN, I WOULD SAY.

I THINK THAT WE'VE BEEN FAIRLY WELL CAUGHT UP.

SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THOSE ERRORS. BUT WE DO GET A COPY OF A.

AND I THINK LANE'S BEEN DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB OF WORKING WITH THAT LIAISON IN CITY CLERK'S OFFICE TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE UP TO DATE.

SO AGAIN, IF WE MISS THOSE, MY APOLOGIES, BUT THERE IS A CITY CLERK STAFF THAT GENERATES THE MINUTES AND SUBMITS THIS TO US FOR REVIEW. AND MANY TIMES THEY'LL HAVE QUESTIONS BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONES HERE, AND LANE AND MYSELF ARE TAKING NOTES. BUT IT'S A COOPERATIVE ENDEAVOR.

AND, AGAIN, IT'S NOT WITHOUT HUMAN ERROR, UNFORTUNATELY.

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO MAKE THOSE CORRECTIONS. AND LIKE I SAID, I THINK IN THE PAST WE'VE DONE AN OKAY JOB.

AND AGAIN, IF WE MISS SOME OF THOSE THINGS, THANK YOU FOR POINTING THEM OUT AND I'LL MAKE THOSE CORRECTIONS. AND I'VE ACTUALLY SPOKEN TO THE COUNCIL MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE THEY'RE RUNNING CLOSE TO ABOUT $120,000 A YEAR FOR MINUTES WHEN THEY COULD USE AI AND PROBABLY.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE COUNCIL MEETING, THERE'S ALWAYS A LIST OF PAYABLES, AND THERE IS A MINUTE THING THAT SHOWS UP.

I THINK THE LAST ONE HAD A HIGH OF $1,000 TO PREPARE SOME MINUTES.

SO, YEAH, I'VE MENTIONED TO COUNCIL IT'S UP TO THEM TO DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

I ACTUALLY AM JUST MORE CURIOUS IN TERMS OF THE PROCESS, LIKE, BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE NOT JUST TYPOS, BUT IF THERE'S SOME SIGNIFICANT OMISSIONS OR ANYTHING THAT IS KIND OF, I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO LIKE THE CITY'S METHODOLOGY WITH PRODUCING THE MINUTES, SO. IN THE PAST, TO BE HONEST, IF WE'VE HAD ISSUES, I THINK THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB OF,

[00:55:04]

AND SO I THINK THOSE ISSUES HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, READILY ADDRESSED.

AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE THIS HAS HAPPENED BECAUSE I THINK OUR PERSON HAS BEEN PREPARING THEM HAS DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB.

IT'S A TOUGH GIG, MAN. LIKE TO LISTEN THROUGH A BUNCH OF, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TOUGH GIG.

SO, AGAIN, I'M JUST ASKING MORE OF. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS, YOU KNOW, AFTER THE MEETING TONIGHT, THAT MINUTES SECRETARY WILL START GENERATING THE MINUTES AND WE SHOULD HAVE THEM USUALLY WITHIN A WEEK OR SO.

DRAFT WITH QUESTIONS BACK TO THE DEPARTMENT AND THEN WE'LL REVIEW AND ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.

AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I SHOULD HAVE DONE A MORE THOROUGH JOB OF INSPECTING THOSE AND CATCHING THOSE TYPOS.

SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. BUT THEN ONCE THEY GET CORRECTED, THE CHANGES GET REWRITTEN, DRAFTED AND THEN SUBMITTED TO THE AGENDA, BUT WE UNFORTUNATELY DIDN'T CATCH THOSE, SO. AND THERE'S ANOTHER THING THAT CAME UP AND I'M GLAD THAT WE DIDN'T GO STRAIGHT TO A VOTE.

AND THAT IS WITH REGARDS TO OUR ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR.

IT SAID ON THE MINUTES THAT SHE IS THE LIAISON.

AND IN THE MINUTES ITSELF, IT SAYS THAT SHE IS THE LIAISON.

THAT'S HOW THEY REFER TO HER. SO HAS SOMETHING CHANGED? NO, NOTHING'S CHANGED. WE WILL ADDRESS THAT AS WELL.

SO YOU THEN WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO TABLE IT, I WOULD THINK.

OH, YEAH. I'LL MOVE TO TABLE THE MINUTES UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING.

AND I'LL SECOND THAT. OKAY. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAY NO. OKAY. SO WE'LL TABLE IT TILL THE NEXT MEETING.

I KNOW YOU HAVE TO GO. WE HAVE TWO MINOR THINGS TO COVER, AND THEN WE'LL BE READY TO ADJOURN.

AND I'M SORRY I MISSED IT BY ABOUT TEN MINUTES.

WE'RE NOW ON ITEM I. EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS.

WE HAVE NO EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS. ITEM J. WE HAVE NO PUBLIC HEARINGS, SO WE MOVE ON TO AN ADJOURNMENT.

CAN I GET A MOTION TO ADJOURN? SO MOVED. OKAY, SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT. OKAY. I JUST HAVE TO READ THIS REALLY QUICKLY.

OUR NEXT MEETING OF THE REDONDO BEACH PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION WILL BE HELD AT 6:30 P.M.

ON AUGUST 12TH, 2026, IN THE REDONDO BEACH COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT 415 DIAMOND STREET, REDONDO BEACH.

IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH TO COMPLY WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT IN ALL RESPECTS.

IF AS AN ATTENDEE OR PARTICIPANT AT THIS MEETING, YOU WILL NEED SPECIAL ASSISTANCE BEYOND WHAT IS NORMALLY PROVIDED, THE CITY WILL ATTEMPT TO ACCOMMODATE YOU IN EVERY REASONABLE MANNER.
