The police representative also summarized community-policing activities: the department's Citizens Police Academy (Class 51) is underway with 19 students; the department held \"Cookies with Clinicians\" to introduce county Department of Mental Health clinicians to the public; volunteers logged 303 hours this year for the department's VIP (volunteer) program; and department staff outlined upcoming community events including a public-safety open house and read-along school visits.

The representative confirmed an officer-involved shooting in Hawthorne was under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and told commissioners Redondo officers involved were OK.

In commission business, Commissioner Eskantrias moved and Commissioner Skiba seconded a request to place an item on a future agenda to discuss possible amendments to the Redondo Beach municipal code (5-series animal-licensing sections) that would require microchips for licensed dogs and to invite animal-control staff and other stakeholders to a public discussion and possible advisory memo to the City Council. The motion passed on a roll-call vote: Chair Carmichael, Commissioner Gall, Commissioner Eskantrias, Commissioner Skiba and Commissioner Wodnicki voted aye; Commissioner Kleinbaum was absent.

Commissioners also approved forming a small subcommittee to plan a formal recognition of the police volunteer (VIP) program and volunteer crossing-guard support; commissioners said they would bring a proposal to a future agenda.

Ending: The commission asked police staff to forward citation- and enforcement-period statistics in writing and asked staff to circulate schedules for community-policing events and volunteer-recognition plans.

The division chief said city fire crews handled about 1,100 calls through Feb. 25 in the year-to-date tally he prepared for the commission, with roughly 75% of calls classified as emergency medical service (EMS) runs. Of the roughly 25 fire responses in that tally, 13 were building fires and the remainder included rubbish and vehicle fires.

The division chief described a recent structure fire on Avenue G that was confined to one unit and knocked down quickly; the department's community-relief fund placed the displaced resident in a hotel for several days, he said.

The department deployed two engines to recent Southern California wildfires for 16 days and sent an additional engine and a division chief as a third strike team for three days. \"Great work by all the crews,\" the division chief told commissioners, and he said the deployments provided valuable training and experience.

Promotions and staffing changes were highlights: the department's boat-captain test produced three promotions that the chief said will ensure two captains are on every shift; an engineer's promotional test was imminent and probationary firefighters were nearing the end of their probationary periods.

Commissioners asked how the community-relief fund is financed; the division chief said the fund is supported by local events, donations and occasional fundraising at open houses and noted the fund is used for short-term assistance such as hotel stays for displaced residents.

Ending: The commission thanked fire staff for the response to recent fires and requested that the department share upcoming community-relief fund events and other volunteer opportunities with the commission and the public.

Ronson Chu of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments said the regionwide effort uses a \"by-names\" list and coordinated case conferences to match available housing or shelter slots to people living on the streets. \"We were able to do it in 14 days on average,\" Chu said of the median time to house or place people in interim shelter during the period the presentation measured.

CityNet supervisors Andres Hernandez and Haik Minassian explained their outreach workflow and the difference between the census they perform and the county point-in-time count. They said outreach workers attempt multiple contacts to build trust and then enroll people who accept services into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) so that regional providers and housing authorities can verify documents and place matched clients.

Chu presented six-month snapshot figures the council of governments compiled: Redondo Beach recorded approximately 65 new entrants to street homelessness over one six-month window and matched a roughly equal number into housing or shelter during the same period, which produced the one-to-one ratio that the COG uses to determine functional zero performance. Chu said the data set the community's median placement time at about 14 days and that the city's active case load fell to about 25 people in the most recent snapshot presented.

CityNet described additional services the contractor provides: outreach days, HMIS enrollment, assistance compiling identity and eligibility documents (birth certificate, state ID, Social Security card), referral to detox or shelters, and support with coordinated entry and voucher matches through LAHSA and local housing authorities. CityNet said voucher matches vary in speed: some clients get matched in weeks while others, especially those without prioritized chronicity or disabling conditions, may wait longer.

Commissioners asked for more granular, auditable data. The commission also received an update on the city's homeless court: the packet states the program had 19 active participants in 2024, three graduates to permanent housing, one graduate to interim housing, two exits for nonparticipation and two transfers to criminal court. The city said it would circulate vendor-level spending and contract attachments to commissioners for additional detail after the meeting.

Ending: Commission members said they would review the full CityNet census report and budget response reports. City and contractor staff said they would provide follow-up material and a written breakdown of homeless-service contracts and expenditures to commissioners.

The preview focused on revenue growth, near-term expenditure pressures and a handful of one-time public-safety expenses. Wazanski said the city has increased its property-tax forecast \"by a little over $2,000,000\" based on early assessed-valuation data and expects roughly 5% assessed-valuation growth next year. He also told commissioners the budget will need to accommodate a roughly $4,000,000 unfunded-accrued-liability (PERS) payment coming in the next fiscal year.

Wazanski said the city expects additional transient-occupancy tax (TOT) revenue next year tied to new hotels coming online, including a fully operational Marine Avenue Hotel site and a hotel at the old Legado site, which the city estimates will deliver about $1 million of annualized TOT when fully operating.

Public-safety items called out for the FY25-26 planning cycle included one-time set-asides for the drone program and for the crossing-guard program. Wazanski told commissioners the crossing-guard program has grown to 27 intersections and costs roughly $560,000, and the city has been using one-time funds to patch the program while it determines what to incorporate into the core budget. He also said the school district currently reimburses the city about $100,000 a year for two school-resource officers and that the district may be asked to contribute further to safety-related positions.

Wazanski warned commissioners that the harbor uplands and tidelands enterprise funds, which pay for dedicated police, fire and public-works personnel on the waterfront, remain below pre-COVID levels and may require additional city subsidy at year end.

On larger capital questions, Wazanski updated the commission on a proposed replacement firing-range project that the city is pursuing through a federal grant opportunity. He said the $15 million to $17 million request would cover not only a new indoor-range facility but also a replacement parks maintenance yard co-located at the site. The city plans pre-design and environmental work now and expects pre-application costs in the range of a half-million dollars to prepare a federal grant application. If the city secures federal partners to train in the new facility, Wazanski said there is a possibility the federal agency could waive the local match and cover construction costs in full.

Commissioners used the session to press for more budget transparency and auditing. Commissioner Eskantrias asked for more detailed line-item reporting and sunset clauses for pilot programs; Wazanski said recent budgets have included more granular line items department- and division-level breakdowns and pointed to budget response reports and the comprehensive annual financial report as existing accountability mechanisms. Wazanski also said the city has funded additional auditing resources.

Several commissioners and members of the public raised issues tied to budget decisions already made or under discussion, including the council's recent shortening of a holiday parking fee waiver (generating about $92,000 in additional revenue) and a fee increase for concealed-carry permits.

Wazanski said the city will present the formal proposed budget to the council by May 16 as required by the city charter and expects council hearings through June before seeking final adoption by the July 1 start of the fiscal year.

Wazanski concluded by inviting follow-up, saying he would continue to meet with commissions and provide budget-response material as the city compiles department requests and grant opportunities.

Ending: The commission did not take formal action on the budget preview; members asked staff to return with further information and said they would review the city's budget response reports and council hearings in the spring.
