Recreation, parks and library Director Ali Mancini and Arts and Culture Advisory Committee members presented the plan and the cultural development fund request. The master plan sets four goals: building a sustainable future for arts and culture, creating awareness and accountability, boosting visibility for cultural development fund partners, and hiring staff to ensure program stability. The council approved recommendations to expand and enhance communications to promote programs and to document and disseminate program findings and successes.

The council approved a cultural development fund budget for 2025–26 with a total request of $267,000 for items the presenters specified, including $110,000 for a cultural arts coordinator, $57,000 for the El Segundo Art Walk, and $7,500 for an Arts and Cultural Community Engagement Fund. Council previously approved $127,500 for a public art installation at the Eurusari Swim Stadium. The council directed staff to move funding for the summer Concerts in the Park series from the general fund to the cultural development fund and to maintain 75% of the cultural arts coordinator position’s funding from the cultural development fund; staff will identify the appropriate general fund source for the remaining 25% based on duties.

Council approved the master plan recommendations and the amended budget. The council’s action includes new communications and reporting steps and reallocates several event and staffing expenses into the cultural development fund; staff will implement those changes through the city’s budget and program management processes.

The cultural arts committee will continue to work with staff to implement the plan’s recommendations and report back on progress under the city’s standard reporting schedule.","The City Council approved recommendations from the Cultural Arts Master Plan, adopted an amended cultural development fund budget for fiscal 2025–26 and directed staff to adjust funding sources for a new cultural arts coordinator and summer concerts.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":46,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6091603,"El Segundo council approves Park Vista budget and asks staff to study privatization options",112,164000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2859972-e427459eb27e0e2c2260865b66f854a6&start=164&end=276","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2859972-e427459eb27e0e2c2260865b66f854a6/thumbnail_164000.jpg","/articles/6091603/El-Segundo-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/El-Segundo-council-approves-Park-Vista-budget-and-asks-staff-to-study-privatization-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6091603-748ab3cd43f0f48c9fddb4c96145c468/orig.mp4?Expires=1771210773&Signature=lxwGXNwZZpLrPfkueNa-tTC2lmIs2hTPU49OXAezyVwy2UA6Pvluh2w7iF7xyvPUIFmdTdY0o2JkK~1ls3Fz63D~ea6xzVZ10Ndba1NXNIycZKJRGxOfL2O8SJxjYOGw9BUMQReXkSO7hpPaCGU9F9xFW2ZRaShimxrchjx8ayRMB8j43gEXZ1~O6T5ecIK6bERjRyPM6NYFexkzfIF2JEFSCNst6GnykaMRAZz5MO5ZzD6s-PacSw~iwEqHEOWM86FD171DopJU~YrALDs2hOHW4Gdm-gzoMagZiJmU7FnfODyC0MglrXk0A2KVL7qXRuK-GYMkaIE4UP0usJQxew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The El Segundo City Council received and filed the Park Vista Senior Citizens Housing Corporation annual report and approved the facility’s 2025 operating budget on April 1, 2025. Council members also directed staff to study the possibility of privatizing Park Vista and asked that a request to release $200,000 annually to Park Vista reserves be considered during the May 5 budget study session.

Park Vista Board member Paul Laney presented the annual report and the proposed operating budget for the Park Vista senior housing facility, which the council owns and the Cadman Group manages. Laney said the facility generated $850,601.54 in revenue in February 2024 and is projected to generate $942,782.28 in February 2025. Under current practices and plans, the facility is expected to remain within or near the city finance-recommended reserves through February 2031 and then fall below recommended reserve levels, according to the report presented to council.

The council’s approval of the operating budget was a formal action on the consent agenda. Separately, council members voted to direct staff to prepare options for potential privatization of Park Vista and to return with more detailed analysis. Council also instructed staff to place the request to release $200,000 annually to Park Vista reserves on the May 5 budget study session agenda for further review before any disbursement decision.

The discussion included financial projections and the potential effects on city reserves; council members asked that staff return with options and analysis that clarify long-term reserve impacts and implementation steps if privatization were pursued. The council did not adopt a privatization plan at the April 1 meeting; it only directed staff to study options and provide follow-up materials.

The council’s actions leave Park Vista operating under city ownership pending the staff analysis and further council consideration at upcoming budget meetings.","The City Council received Park Vista Senior Citizens Housing Corporation's annual report, approved its 2025 operating budget, and directed staff to study privatization options and review a proposal to release $200,000 annually to Park Vista reserves at the May 5 budget study session.","actionData","errors"]
