Staff said they would circulate several late-July dates and requested commissioners’ availability. Commissioners discussed several potential dates in the week of July 24 and late-month options; staff said they would send a confirmation once a date that provides quorum is identified. The commission agreed to be flexible so the review can proceed promptly once the final report is available.

Separately, commissioners asked staff to compile at least five years of retirement-related expenditures to assess trends in retirement costs as a share of the city budget. The items commissioners asked to be pulled were the CalPERS normal contribution, the unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) payments, and any debt service tied to pension funding. Finance staff said they could prepare a five-year series and would return it as a discussion item; that data will help the commission evaluate whether retirement costs are increasing as a percent of total budget.

No formal vote was required to schedule the prospective special meeting; commissioners expressed strong interest in an early review of the annual financial report and in receiving the multi-year retirement-cost table for discussion at a future meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","REDONDO BEACH CITY BUDGET & FINANCE COMMISSION - JULY 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Finance staff asked commissioners for availability to hold a special meeting to review the annual financial report.

A commissioner who drafted a CIP template told the commission the table would help the group assess variability in contractor responses and unit-cost drivers. “If only one contractor bids, then, obviously, we need to dig into what they’re charging,” the commissioner said, and requested a new column to show the number of bids received. Staff confirmed they had shared the template with Jesse Reyes in Public Works and that Reyes would likely add additional detail and present project numbers at a forthcoming meeting, tentatively in August or September.

The commission moved to table the continued-items agenda and bring the CIP template discussion forward at the next meeting so commissioners could review any revisions before the public-works presentation. The motion to table and bring the item back passed by voice vote.

No contract awards or budget approvals were made. Commissioners said the additional bid-count column should show only the number of bidders, not bidder names, to preserve procurement confidentiality while giving the commission visibility into market competition for projects.

Public Works staff and the commission agreed to coordinate on the template revisions and return the item for discussion prior to action at a future meeting.","Commissioners asked public works to add a column for number of bids to a capital improvement program (CIP) template and requested a presentation of CIP numbers from public works (Jesse Reyes) at the August or September meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_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},6709584,"Commission to review homeless-services cost template; finance to present homelessness numbers at next meeting",0,2875000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5361857-dd0703f3a621e01a92d3585511721424&start=2875&end=2875","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5361857-dd0703f3a621e01a92d3585511721424/thumbnail_2875000.jpg","/articles/6709584/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Commission-to-review-homeless-services-cost-template-finance-to-present-homelessness-numbers-at-next-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6709584-e9ab8ca11e8d3afd3b88e5cbf0c12749/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163635&Signature=IrIKbDFBsNMH7ANYukPOFl4-ZLUBfyenofPVJuLwWimdLhCEEJjBGtQeBkf8r-8-eapu0Bn4yls~K2A0Gnc0~Z-5pEfy6UKWagbDBXWjnq9zHyEOZe6mlFMUQ-IbwDXMXFKV2Ga8Df58hWXb-UHdP7GIGEEXq4uxKlmSxA2iMV0NjnY7wEDdu74t0H9pUXtrAw9GKLCyggqXcYkyF5d~uodiLWrL0z2miiApu9Hypt4F6chRMxnLapZJxmULZ4i8gwKJMIVGB8BuUvjnB1JpfSCL4cdHGRchT5OTeoEUtCu2SIFwsdaRusNgfa1UG8wb0dABNl5mvy-GqDk8wHor0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioners on the Redondo Beach Budget and Finance Commission agreed to review a public-submitted template for analyzing homeless-services costs and to receive quarterly revenue materials from staff for later discussion.

An in-person speaker who placed a document in the blue folder urged the commission to use a standard “sources and uses” format to match multiple funding sources to program expenditures and to extract data from the city’s financial system (Munis) for program-level analysis. “You can see from the spreadsheet template that I included that the homeless program uses resources from at least 4 different departments,” the in-person commenter said.

Finance staff confirmed a scheduled presentation on homelessness-related costs for the August meeting so the commission can see actuals and ask follow-up questions. Staff also said the treasurer and finance team are preparing quarterly revenue reports: the treasurer’s quarterly report will be provided next month, and a full Q4/annual carryover report is likely in September or early October because year-end posting takes longer.

The commission received and filed the blue-folder items for tonight by motion, which included the template and a Q3 revenues spreadsheet placed in the blue folder. Commissioners invited further suggestions on the revenue report format before the next presentation.

Staff told the commission the template could help identify split or part-time resources that support homeless services (for example, police, fire and public works time) and could reduce staff time if the Munis data-extraction procedure is developed in collaboration with IT and the Munis vendor. The commission asked staff to accept the blue-folder submission as an attachment and to bring homelessness spending data and the revenue reports back for discussion at the next meeting.

No budget or policy decisions were made tonight; the actions were limited to receiving materials and scheduling future presentations.","An in-person commenter presented a spreadsheet template for matching homeless services sources and uses; staff said the finance department will present a summary of homelessness-related costs at the August meeting and that the Q3 revenue report will be scheduled later.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6709589,"Commission agrees to return draft minutes after dispute over wording about revenues",1015,1795000,2810000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5361857-dd0703f3a621e01a92d3585511721424&start=1795&end=2810","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5361857-dd0703f3a621e01a92d3585511721424/thumbnail_1795000.jpg","/articles/6709589/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Commission-agrees-to-return-draft-minutes-after-dispute-over-wording-about-revenues","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6709589-263ed85423f10aee7ea44f5b9843471e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163635&Signature=BS8CTD1FVNzE~GmydsFYHBEUVMkR5037bWbVCxNiI4uBXRQGNlLhiTOa3Gt~SXG8To~-kGH8FUbC~DR~rTP~LzgJxHHwuGr0YEBs-K15xU0viO9~Iv3gEB3HA-UlhOm-lYzprehoFHFeIFD9k4Ps8iGX~SUD6ClxXWWo-YnQ8bbSR~UOzE9bklkzBQVgozsxjxLaQJfuSb9sSnLWLEtq-en0K4kbEIvuGKm0TT8GhzNr-qmSMnVyMyn4hR3U6e-U9s8ucJ0xFH4eKHB~BbU8MKARA-e8ilJHzrCf3AdKjTrmL4Fr0Vbhg8xwJnbiQ7x5SBOEmTg3PNDiF9WbEdw~LQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Budget and Finance Commission of Redondo Beach voted to bring draft minutes back for revision after a dispute over language in the May 8 draft that attributed the phrase “revenues have been declining” to the city treasurer.

The motion to bring all minutes back for further review and possible revision passed by voice vote after discussion. Eugene Solomon, Redondo Beach City treasurer, attended the meeting and said he had sought correction of the attribution in the minutes. “The only issue… was the language, the attribution within the minutes,” Solomon said, asking that the minutes be corrected to match the transcript.

Commissioners spent more than an hour reviewing the exchange from the May 8 meeting, during which members examined a transcript excerpt and a blue-folder addendum highlighting the treasurer’s statements. Commissioners and staff agreed the treasurer did not use the word “declined” in the recording; rather, the treasurer described uncertainty about future revenues and said some revenue sources “might be reduced” or could come in later than expected. One commissioner said she had summarized the meeting by describing revenues as not “on par” with expectations and acknowledged she had used the word “decline” in the prior meeting’s summary.

Staff said they would consult the City Clerk’s office about procedures for amending minutes, and the chair asked that the corrected language or an addendum be returned for approval. The commission then moved and approved a motion to table the three sets of minutes (May 8, a special meeting, and June 12) and bring them back at the next meeting so members could review the proposed revisions.

The commission’s action was procedural: no policy or budgetary change was adopted. Commissioners emphasized the importance of an accurate public record — noting that many people rely on minutes rather than video — and asked staff to present options for how to reflect the corrected attribution in the minutes (for example, by revising the draft or appending the transcript excerpt).

Looking ahead, staff said they would discuss with the City Clerk how best to amend or annotate the prior minutes and return the items for formal approval at the next meeting.","The Redondo Beach Budget and Finance Commission voted to bring draft minutes back for revision after a treasurer said draft language inaccurately described revenues as \"declining.\" Commissioners asked staff to consult the City Clerk on how to amend the May 8 minutes and to return all draft minutes at the next meeting.","actionData","errors"]
