Mayor Butts opened the meeting by acknowledging \"the devastation of the wildfires\" in the Los Angeles, Altadena and surrounding areas, referencing reported deaths and destroyed structures. He thanked local, county and state firefighters and law enforcement personnel engaged in fire suppression and described the scale of the response. \"We should all give them our support,\" he said.

Council members described efforts by Inglewood residents and churches collecting donations; Council Member Padilla pointed to the Center of Hope and Greater New Bethel as local sites accepting clothing and other items. Padilla also noted Inglewood Police Department officers had been deployed to assist in the impacted areas, saying she had spoken with Police Chief Mark Franarotta about officer deployments.

Mayor Butts announced he is co-hosting a benefit concert on Jan. 18 with 1500 Sound Academy at 235 West Florence; he provided ticket information during the meeting: \"The tickets are $30 a piece, and they can be purchased at 1500 day.com. It starts at 2 PM, and it's 1st come, 1st serve.\" Several council members said they would join in closing the meeting to remember the wildfire victims; the council then offered a moment of remembrance for those killed in the fires.

Staff and council members directed residents to emergency information sources: the city's Office of Emergency Management and the Ready Inglewood alert channels. Council Member Padilla told residents they could register for cell-phone alerts via alerts.southbay.com and the city's emergency pages.

No formal actions or funding allocations related to the wildfires were taken by the council at the meeting; the discussion consisted of public remarks, informational items and community requests for donations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","01-14-25 Inglewood City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Council members repeatedly acknowledged the Los Angeles-area wildfires during the Jan. 14 meeting, praised first responders and announced local donation points and a benefit concert hosted by the mayor.","taxTitle","Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",3831,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6387716,"Council introduces zoning amendment to adopt objective design standards for multifamily and mixed-use projects",164,725000,889000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2115968-2b8b010180b54d540336e2c2527ba61d&start=725&end=889","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2115968-2b8b010180b54d540336e2c2527ba61d/thumbnail_725000.jpg","/articles/6387716/Inglewood/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-introduces-zoning-amendment-to-adopt-objective-design-standards-for-multifamily-and-mixed-use-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6387716-029004b79dc6e6a641e8125c299c064f/orig.mp4?Expires=1776057937&Signature=NzKVTZEBviUX-TuSjidMUn3YzXI1wGPlxxhyc7P9xs2dQVNb~PQR6hsABbB6B86vZRZyzegFzkx~rifipp0h9pE962Fg4a1tP1e0NI80bjMi1u496BsYL5XCmioMuRUYgQOuwcRlda6eXDU2jgZERV5sB8g2Fb8yR0F-1rAcIEIKp15hf9NrxsfKsoQ-QIwDGPCkBO1usqkipl8lqd4QO9ppihKVJKiAx50MSGzKDnmtutP8eE74u1XSo8BC2Vz93D~Ipuyl1cGs2z5I~jrtgoK6~ODwvFdEPaYoTD-Ft~cg8kDDkHjo4SrYu1tZiJSyLHzYXlMa0p9Wk3L3EqHYIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Inglewood City Council on Jan. 14 introduced Zoning Code Amendment 24-01, a proposed amendment to Chapter 12 of the Inglewood Municipal Code that would establish objective design standards citywide for new multifamily and mixed-use developments.

Bernard McCrumbie, planning manager in the Development Services Department, presented the proposal and described objective design standards as rules that \"involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference of an external and uniform benchmark.\" He said the standards were developed with consultants from the Arroyo Group and with input from the planning commission and stakeholders.

The amendment would apply to new multifamily construction and mixed-use developments with two or more housing units, projects in transit-oriented-development (TOD) plan areas, and remodels that increase floor area. McCrumbie said the standards are intended to create a checklist staff and applicants can use, which he said could compress review time \"from about 10 weeks to 2 to 3.\" The proposal includes objective criteria for site planning and access, building modulation and articulation, materials and finishes, entries, residential privacy, outdoor dining, open space requirements, exterior lighting, walls and fences, noise, loading and trash areas, utilities, parking structures and frontage standards.

The amendment includes an administrative adjustment mechanism: projects that cannot meet a particular objective standard may apply for a discretionary adjustment that would be administratively reviewed and require findings to be made. McCrumbie said the standards were modeled in part on recent downtown projects the city considered desirable, including developments referenced in the staff report.

Council members moved to introduce the amendment and to waive additional readings as permitted; the motion carried on a recorded vote. The item was opened for public comment but no substantive public testimony was received on the amendment at the hearing. Staff materials and the full draft standards are available in the staff report and attachments on file with the City Clerk's office.

If adopted at a later meeting, the standards would change the objective criteria used to evaluate qualifying residential and mixed-use projects and could affect the development review timeline for projects in Inglewood.","Council members heard a detailed presentation on proposed objective design standards (Zoning Code Amendment 24-01) intended to speed multifamily review and set uniform, verifiable design criteria.

The council voted to adopt Ordinance No. 25-01, which updates Chapter 2, Article 5 of the Inglewood Municipal Code governing purchasing procedures. Finance Director Sharon Koike, who presented the item, said the purchasing code has seen \"no substantial changes ... since 1980.\" The ordinance increases multiple authorization thresholds for city officials and revises caps on competitive and noncompetitive procurement.

Council members also adopted Ordinance No. 25-02, amending Article 8, Chapter 2 of the Inglewood Municipal Code to update regulations on use and rental of city facilities, including police community centers and district community centers. Finally, the council adopted Ordinance No. 25-03, which establishes pay range assignments and conditions of employment for fiscal year 2024–25.

Votes at a glance:
- Ordinance No. 25-01 (Purchasing procedures): Approved. Council members Gray, Padilla, Morales, Fogg and Mayor Butts voted aye.
- Ordinance No. 25-02 (Use and rental of city facilities): Approved. Council members Gray, Padilla, Morales, Fogg and Mayor Butts voted aye.
- Ordinance No. 25-03 (Pay ranges FY2024–25): Approved. Council Member Gray abstained; Council Members Padilla, Morales, Fogg and Mayor Butts voted aye (tally: yes 4, abstain 1).

The votes followed motions to waive further reading and move to adoption for each ordinance. No public comments were received during the hearing on the purchasing ordinance, and staff answered no substantive follow-up questions prior to the votes.

Clarifying details in the purchasing ordinance include raised authorization and procurement thresholds described in the staff report: increases to the finance director's authority for goods-only purchases from $50,000 to $100,000 (excluding service contracts); the public works director's emergency purchase authority from $75,000 to $100,000; the city manager's emergency purchase authority from $100,000 to $150,000; competitive procurement limits from $50,000 to $100,000; a new city-manager ratification authority for exceptional purchases up to $15,000; a council-approval threshold raised from purchases over $50,000 to those over $100,000; noncompetitive procurement cap increased from $10,000 to $25,000; and several adjustments to informal and formal procurement caps.

Action notes: all three ordinances were adopted by recorded voice vote. The payroll/pay-range ordinance recorded one abstention by Council Member Gray during the roll call for that item. The staff reports and ordinance texts were referenced during the hearing and are on file with the City Clerk's office.

The council did not attach additional conditions to the ordinances at the time of adoption. The measures take effect according to the timelines and effective-date language set in each ordinance and the Inglewood Municipal Code.","The Inglewood City Council voted Jan. 14 to update purchasing thresholds, clarify rules for renting city facilities and approve pay ranges for fiscal year 2024–25.
