Transit staff said the system includes about 214 stops and a 20‑vehicle fleet, most assets purchased with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds. Staff warned that revenue from advertising on FTA‑funded assets would be classified as program income and must be used to support transit operations; any use of city‑purchased, non‑FTA assets for advertising would allow the city to retain revenue under city control.

The presentation described two implementation models: (1) a third‑party contractor that supplies and maintains bus shelters and sells advertising (lower upfront cost but revenue‑share and less city control); and (2) an in‑house program that would retain most revenue but would require significant staff capacity and initial capital for shelters, kiosks and potential bus wraps.

Council members raised concerns about visual clutter, the suitability of many stops for advertising because they are not on high‑traffic corridors, and the risk that expected revenue may not justify upfront costs. A number of public speakers, including students and neighborhood residents, urged caution and preferred improvements such as shelters and benches without commercial advertising.

After questions, the council voted to receive and file the report and asked staff to return with targeted economic research and policy recommendations if warranted.","The council received and filed a staff report on the feasibility of creating an advertising program for bus stop furniture and buses. Staff recommended more research and policy development and said the current federally funded assets and infrastructure pose compliance and upfront‑cost hurdles.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6568203,"Council adopts 2025–2030 CDBG consolidated plan to guide federal block‑grant spending",420,6720000,7140000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3206867-7e9f911e0762cc68aad55de9e5e146c7&start=6720&end=7140","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3206867-7e9f911e0762cc68aad55de9e5e146c7/thumbnail_6720000.jpg","/articles/6568203/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-adopts-20252030-CDBG-consolidated-plan-to-guide-federal-blockgrant-spending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568203-4cf7ac5929d659bcbfdc46b1db40fa6a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187348&Signature=fENXq9mwtwgpYTxHg9pm77hbV2a0qzBp5if5-DuhXNTOeGY6zfBu9jJcYtQJXrLedOcng2MqFCoUqHX0JVkolZ0UXhXmubqNXPxPLB1J4namg1BTryud84yUTpmSR6-HIlzrQxsFUWwXB3b~PVNyOxL7Nv6u2nmThKMT~7grcKjNBrpNs3fbhLwh9k9Ls9PGkv6o92uiuh0escxuZrsNDlApVwdI4nbu6sQDOeEqrWvYCXzfvhtu9pazDMqAtwUJIAJQET6Ut2L5Sxmlx2DtNMOsA~WCf~VYBUijD~2hX2dkE4m-L4biPavhdl-JHSPdZ~tUW0FukvMfuEHng3OOzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Redondo Beach City Council adopted the five‑year consolidated plan (2025–2030) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds following a second public hearing. The plan documents local housing and community needs, summarizes public input and establishes priority goals that will guide use of federal CDBG funds.

Elizabeth House, Community Services Director, and Joyce Lee of M&S Engineering presented the plan. Staff told the council that the 30‑day public review period produced one public comment expressing general support. The plan’s seven priority goals include developing decent and affordable housing, providing vital public services, creating sustainable neighborhoods, expanding economic opportunities and improving pre‑disaster recovery planning.

Council members thanked staff for the report and asked follow‑up questions about program details, including the city’s small emergency repair and mobility access program, eligibility screening and the challenges imposed by changing federal requirements. Staff said the mobility and emergency repair (MER) program provides up to $7,500 in CDBG assistance for eligible low‑ and moderate‑income homeowners and that the program receives a small number of applicants annually due to income‑verification requirements.

The council approved the plan by motion and roll call. Staff said the consolidated plan will serve as the city’s application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for CDBG funds and will govern federal expenditures and program priorities for the next five years.","After a second public hearing, the council approved the 2025–2030 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) consolidated plan, setting local priorities for housing, public services and pre‑disaster planning that will guide federal expenditures for five years.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6568209,"Council adopts urgency ordinance imposing 45‑day moratorium on new smoke shops",325,10600000,10925000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3206867-7e9f911e0762cc68aad55de9e5e146c7&start=10600&end=10925","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3206867-7e9f911e0762cc68aad55de9e5e146c7/thumbnail_10600000.jpg","/articles/6568209/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-adopts-urgency-ordinance-imposing-45day-moratorium-on-new-smoke-shops","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568209-b5426808bc6e1bf8b12173e337b6c8fe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187348&Signature=GOXH8d99Iznqew32svL7MVoQUgj~W9b4gJgqsVy42patz5Fc~2ezn7gBWcVjGAhvS~rkFsrQjCGOhe0ru2pALoISoRq1eD5mjBt4RlZ7DE4HBbocYy~6FcSgXrR-YBky8wbvL8HM4vbq1niJOmkw8fdARpnYIAquqUzAMTmGiN0dpKAf6xZ6asvJc4rreqSjRpXN-YeVsFPalQeRNMYpT9A8iiYOyGtSuGjHRxOfSnsF2-4ZPhRS0pW5adG6LBL6ClrCVdJscPbP9vTKE0oCqCdK7iaRT3zw7JqKgrNVjjfS8QFTz7c3t6YkSM0IhRPRgT6Jyw9Yj5AhCb1EPzAeLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Redondo Beach City Council adopted an interim urgency ordinance banning development of new smoke shops in the city for an initial 45‑day period, citing public health, youth exposure and recent regulatory developments at the state level.

City staff presented the ordinance as a short‑term measure while the city drafts a permanent ordinance to regulate smoke shops more effectively. The moratorium takes effect immediately and requires a four‑fifths vote; the council approved the urgency ordinance unanimously.

Staff said the permanent ordinance will be routed to the Planning Commission before returning to the council. If the council decides to extend the moratorium while the new regulations are drafted, the extension hearing will be a fully noticed public hearing. During council discussion members asked whether the moratorium should specify non‑tobacco or synthetic products; staff noted the draft ordinance already references illegal products and state regulatory actions that informed the findings.

A member of the public, Jonathan Svetco, addressed the council in support of strong local regulation and said past statewide bills had created regulatory gaps for hemp‑derived intoxicants. The council’s urgency vote will give staff time to draft a comprehensive permanent ordinance and hold public hearings, staff said.","Redondo Beach adopted an urgency ordinance imposing a temporary moratorium on new \"smoke shops,\" citing public health and youth exposure concerns; staff will return with a permanent ordinance for planning commission review and a public hearing on an extension.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6568213,"Council approves $946,560 contract, adds $338,560 in Quimby funds for SCE Row West landscape project",1492,8593000,10085000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3206867-7e9f911e0762cc68aad55de9e5e146c7&start=8593&end=10085","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3206867-7e9f911e0762cc68aad55de9e5e146c7/thumbnail_8593000.jpg","/articles/6568213/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-approves-946560-contract-adds-338560-in-Quimby-funds-for-SCE-Row-West-landscape-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568213-d863b91a0b31b245cb5590cc2660cb04/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187348&Signature=kQMdiax7t~xP5ffs~KIMKECF3iVRX54~ohiRALIaY0DAo0RLS6y93lPedZ-Yiyu3JfQtz0-EDJ~GvMQ2y0JOxCgyScOEYKXVjpT32oNb0HC~7rFJF3aDgqWkVXIIhiVE1HeIlrwJBQ9r3qo5Vj-u2nXPvVoXPgoTc-vEXWb67MUr94~WUbpI7vPzkY3jO8b~viDmKvYN08-czDpel8R0WpIyCtcf6krFPhYZSlRwsoXYT6i3LXwXkUMjvqbMovcrrnZgh68auzpb3l4imqbMHzXmp1SftgtYajkWKOkVEMOf-veXpvbdvqoR8lf6nJsmz8uMKLjfHbENG23S0m8GZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Redondo Beach City Council voted to add $338,560 from the subdivision park (Quimby) fund to complete the SCE Row West landscape improvements project and awarded a $946,560.50 construction contract to Marina Landscape Inc.

The appropriation and contract award, adopted by the council by roll-call vote, fund landscaping, pathways and site improvements on a roughly 2.5-acre parcel under license from Southern California Edison (SCE) west of Pacific Coast Highway. The appropriation includes a contingency line of about $125,000, city staff said.

City Manager (name not specified) told the council the project has been in planning for years and that SCE owns the property in fee; the city holds a license that permits passive open-space improvements but restricts active uses. Staff said the design the council reviewed had received SCE approval this February, which allowed the city to go out to bid.

Council discussion focused on long history, funding sources and maintenance. Council Member Kaladjierovich and Council Member (name variant: Barrett/Baron) urged the council to consider value engineering and whether the project scope could be reduced to fit existing allocations. The city manager and staff said they had already value-engineered the project and that further redesign could require additional design work, another SCE review and risk further cost escalation and delay.

Council Member (name not specified) said the parcel is one of the few realistic opportunities to expand the city’s open space inventory and noted the project would also improve a prominent city gateway currently used for equipment storage and informal ATV use.

Council Member Kaladjierovich said she would abstain from the vote because of concern that a large QMB expenditure could limit the city’s ability to fund other park priorities for teens and youth. The final roll-call showed four yes votes and one abstention; the motion carried.

The council approved two resolutions: (1) a budget modification to appropriate $338,560 in subdivision park trust funds to the SCE Row West PCH Landscape Improvements (Job No. 30850); and (2) a resolution awarding the construction contract to Marina Landscape Inc. for $946,560.50, plus contingency. City staff said some of the project was already funded in prior years with design and earlier construction allocations.","Redondo Beach City Council voted to appropriate $338,560 from the Quimby (subdivision park) fund and award a $946,560.50 construction contract to Marina Landscape Inc. for the SCE Row West PCH landscape improvements, after a lengthy discussion about scope, maintenance and funding.","actionData","errors"]
