All outcomes are listed as stated on the record.

1) Resolution 25-066 — Declare June 2025 Fire Prevention Month and establish citywide fire-prevention education initiative. Outcome: Approved (unanimous). Action directs staff to implement outreach in schools and coordinate with LA County Fire and Sheriff’s offices.

2) Consent calendar item 27 — Extend Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with building trades as recommended by staff. Outcome: Approved (unanimous vote noted during consent; five comment cards recorded on the item).

3) Project No. 1667 — Award construction contract to upgrade traffic signal at Avalon Boulevard & Gardena Boulevard (left-turn phases, video detection, EV preemption, lighting, pedestrian head upgrades). Outcome: Approved (unanimous).

4) Consolidated Plan / CDBG FY2025–26 — Approve submission of Final Consolidated Plan, allocate CDBG public-service funding conditionally to designated providers (contingent on HUD allocation). Outcome: Approved (unanimous). Awards contingent on HUD allotment; staff to finalize agreements when funds are allocated.

5) Resolution & Ordinance adopting an official city style guide, new city seal and marketing logo (Resolution No. 25-063; Ordinance No. 25-2511 first reading). Outcome: Adopted/Introduced (motion passed; second reading/ordinance adoption scheduled per municipal code) — council waived further reading and approved first-reading actions.

6) Ordinance amending council member compensation, benefits and retirement contributions (Ord. No. 25-2508, second reading). Outcome: Adopted (motion carried; vote recorded as unanimous on second reading).

7) Ordinance replacing Section 41-05 on illegal dumping and approving administrative citation fines (Ord. No. 25-2505, second reading). Outcome: Adopted (unanimous second-reading vote).

8) Business-license revocation ordinance (amend code to permit denial/revocation when businesses are under criminal investigation). Outcome: Continued for further legal review and redrafting at staff request; no vote to adopt.

Votes reflected electronic roll-call entries. Where the public hearing delivery or staff recommendation noted contingencies (for example HUD allocation), council direction made awards conditional on receipt of funds. Several action items directed staff to return with additional materials — for example, a proposed reward program related to arson reporting and more detailed CIP timelines — rather than creating immediate new appropriations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Carson CA.

Staff described the measure as a response to prior incidents — including illegal activity at massage businesses — where staff said the city lacked a clear municipal code tool to revoke licenses while investigations were underway. The proposed language would expand license-denial and revocation authority beyond cases where a conviction exists.

Council members expressed concern about the proposed standard of \"under criminal investigation\" and the risk of unfairly punishing businesses before any criminal finding. Questions included whether the city would be liable if a license were revoked and later the subject was cleared, and whether there should be explicit language tying revocation to indictment or conviction, or to an evidentiary finding by law enforcement.

The city attorney and staff agreed to review other cities' ordinances, revise the draft to clarify standards and safeguards, and return the item for further consideration. The item was continued without a vote on the ordinance itself.","An ordinance to allow the city to revoke or deny business licenses when businesses are under criminal investigation was continued for further review after councilmembers and the city attorney flagged due-process and language concerns.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6568154,"City presents $169.4 million five-year CIP; council reviews priorities for FY2025–26",195,7660000,7855000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3207695-f7718641dedd705c5f85d0d406d9482c&start=7660&end=7855","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3207695-f7718641dedd705c5f85d0d406d9482c/thumbnail_7660000.jpg","/articles/6568154/Carson-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/City-presents-1694-million-five-year-CIP-council-reviews-priorities-for-FY202526","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568154-a5a54199ca834e9a0cc5f712b1841b7d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141225&Signature=hXsfWZH3WfLjRgnXIDW63hBRFbWzbrh50rHAvbeFKwwe8Gs30cd0f~VdWYfRZUZPEgNNUPCg43A3X~nPsjT7ODLswCqnJ1CFq4R-B4RDIJ8LujPH2Q1TS7eiuMe59ymnOEH7dCbGrWPNRzSnAVddx-njPwSvnxahMKzYTEpKYAfPjlqQRF0osKccGF0Mccbd1lAI64CpBQc4q~79YiAaFUOxGWOluhMkyUqpAeNryKZ50v6pGzCQc09IM5K8LXnDvPajt9tnx1YUcFBg~G47~5QQkQVk4OP6~EmWcWcEyStkLy72C0eILTXfq56CW5ViVrvGegR~Q-ejc-vto-0DiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Public Works Director Dr. Arlington Rogers presented the City of Carson’s draft five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for fiscal year 2025–26 during a council workshop on May 6.

Staff described a proposed CIP portfolio of approximately $169.4 million and 53 projects across categories including roadways (18 projects), parks (13), traffic (7), buildings (6), bikeways (4), stormwater (4) and a single technology project (broadband). Funding sources cited included general fund reserves, grants and special revenues, lease-revenue bonds and multiple transportation and grant programs.

Director Rogers highlighted projects already in construction, projects in design and ongoing maintenance programs. Staff said roadway and pavement programs would continue and that park projects included resurfacing courts, aerating fields and adding pickleball courts; lighting upgrades (Musco lighting) were planned for multiple parks. A technology project for citywide broadband (first phase) was included.

Councilmembers asked about sidewalks, park maintenance, specific facilities such as Stephenson Park and Del Amo Park, restroom and kitchen upgrades at community buildings, and signage and lighting at various park sites. Staff said sidewalks are handled in the operating budget and outlined a multi-year schedule to complete park work; they agreed to provide a parks-by-parks timeline and to follow up on specific site concerns.

The workshop did not require a formal vote; staff asked for council direction to finalize which projects will be included in the FY2025–26 budget document.","Public Works presented the draft five-year Capital Improvement Plan totaling about $169.4 million; staff asked council for direction on projects to include in the FY2025–26 budget document.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6568159,"Council tentatively allocates CDBG funding pending HUD allotment; three providers prioritized",210,7435000,7645000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3207695-f7718641dedd705c5f85d0d406d9482c&start=7435&end=7645","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3207695-f7718641dedd705c5f85d0d406d9482c/thumbnail_7435000.jpg","/articles/6568159/Carson-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-tentatively-allocates-CDBG-funding-pending-HUD-allotment-three-providers-prioritized","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568159-4cd83cba0d8b1c3ae03eeccfeba9ff43/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141225&Signature=oknKVLTmmQgZNV8zU9KnQrfWJC6BRY2WjBhxzIruDIrTK-d-gjo7tifBfHOftyD-~VBuEecJ3La0XPcdHTwTbdfbrCSuCkkZmmiY-D1umZjDwYAV90Kk~DkEmQK3jtoTHbVBqqmh6Ud8Dp771y~eJALDV1pCCYekdsrCMnHKsAmeOTyfzoXRZ0CVRyx8kN2gbvF2ED15RHWMEbIKRqF6N8R-VJeQmg-IDnZfK-xGJEq-lmPOPCRifzVTVMarUvuy2zXrW1DMKL3-49i6g2ZoNvB0rAKvF2B4tGO3Mo0gtplsqPSy~6lauVUuN4lFzaxsvLx3eJZRtHSeUWAvyLgIHQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City housing staff told the City Council on May 6 that Carson’s draft Final Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan are complete and awaiting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding allocation. The city held the statutorily required public review period and public hearings and is now prepared to submit its documents to HUD.

Staff recommended allocating Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) public‑service funding to three applicants (Housing Rights Center; Carson Boys & Girls Club; and a Venice Medical Clinic operation on Carson High campus) if HUD makes an allocation. Council approved the recommendation and authorized the mayor to sign agreements with selected providers following negotiation and city attorney approval. The motion was explicitly conditional: the awards would proceed only if HUD issues the block grant allotment.

Staff said the city cannot finalize program spending until the allocation is uploaded in HUD’s IDIS system but wants council authorization now so programmatic agreements can be completed quickly when funding arrives.

The motion to allocate CDBG funding for FY2025–26, approve the proposed CDBG budget and submit the consolidated plan and annual action plan to HUD passed unanimously.

What happens next: Staff will upload documents to HUD, negotiate agreements with the approved providers, and return if any funding or program details change when the actual allocation is received.","The council approved staff's recommendation to allocate likely CDBG funds among three local providers and to submit the consolidated plan and annual action plan to HUD, contingent on HUD's final allotment.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6568164,"Council approves contract to upgrade Avalon and Gardena traffic signal",125,7260000,7385000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3207695-f7718641dedd705c5f85d0d406d9482c&start=7260&end=7385","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3207695-f7718641dedd705c5f85d0d406d9482c/thumbnail_7260000.jpg","/articles/6568164/Carson-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-approves-contract-to-upgrade-Avalon-and-Gardena-traffic-signal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568164-86504049a2ca702196096edc35f96a20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141225&Signature=a4W5sWsblYiS2aENzMjPuyTcxdwNg7ZDnVBzrhQaP5deHN6Oira-mUUsd25Jna6p-6vLQqDCu-mVDzTXD96JzICiSifncYsN~6~kLv6ZNsgNMGYmX2s1M9lxXpPNQg4zS-LZWg~qNknFOz03fLC5XqkxuqvhGOz3Wr0MlRtKTKzbkJv2O7ymT1ZcgZMwIFu1pHNOK4vYPcx2Q1UGd17hOhVidJ7rFrX6d8YF3wf0q-wguI8IbVEB8NeW0m~SY8vzGDBuGNcOXeLwtn15Yr48O3PY0vFzhvQaE83QsWx9K3k7EzoHJohxQUq3r8NSKikCAnKds0kf-rn85oCCCsmmew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Council voted unanimously on May 6 to award a construction contract for Project No. 1667 to upgrade the traffic signal at Avalon Boulevard and Gardena Boulevard.

Public Works staff said the intersection — a north–south arterial (Avalon) crossing an east–west collector (Gardena) in northern Carson — experiences significant delays and deficient levels of service. The approved work includes new dedicated left-turn phases for northbound and southbound approaches, a video detection system, emergency-vehicle preemption, upgraded safety lighting and pedestrian head upgrades.

Director of Public Works Dr. Arlington Rogers said updated signal controllers will be programmed to optimize vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle movements and reduce delays. The council member who moved the staff recommendation highlighted the expected improvement in intersection level of service and safety for pedestrians.

The motion to award the contract was moved and seconded; the electronic vote was unanimous.

City staff told the council the outreach will include in-school presentations, interactive demonstrations with emergency vehicles, and distribution of age-appropriate materials such as coloring books, brochures, reflective wristbands and mini flashlights. Staff said the city manager’s office and the public information office will lead the effort in coordination with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the Carson Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, code enforcement, local refineries and other partners.

Councilmembers framed the resolution as a response to recent regional wildfires and rising public-safety concerns. Mayor Lula Davis Holmes said the initiative aims to make the city proactive rather than reactive on fire risks. Several councilmembers noted the council’s earlier action to ban consumer fireworks in Carson and described the education push as a complementary step.

The council discussed adding enforcement and incentive measures: Mayor Pro Tem Cedric Hicks suggested a $500 reward program for information leading to arrests in arson or other fire-starting incidents; the mayor asked staff to explore that option for a future meeting. Councilmembers also asked that staff present the LA County Fire Department’s educational video to the council and coordinate a follow-up presentation from county fire and sheriff personnel.

The resolution directs staff to implement outreach activities at schools and community sites and to coordinate with industry and first-responder partners. The council approved the resolution by electronic vote; the motion passed unanimously.

What happens next: Staff will schedule and execute the education events and materials described in the resolution and return any requested follow-ups — including the proposed reward program and a county fire presentation — to a future council meeting.","The Carson City Council unanimously adopted a resolution declaring June 2025 Fire Prevention Month and directing staff to start a citywide public-education initiative focused on fire safety, illegal fireworks and school outreach.","actionData","errors"]
