Rancho Palos Verdes asks staff for more information on regional sheriff drone program; border report flags amphitheater noise complaints
Summary
After reviewing the Lomita Sheriff Station regional drone program and the cost to buy four drones, the council directed staff to return with more information; the biannual border issues report also noted resident complaints about excessive noise from concerts at the F&M Bank Amphitheater.
The City Council reviewed a report on the Lomita Sheriff Station’s regional drone program and the estimated cost to purchase four drones. City Manager Arman Ranjan said the council directed staff to return with more information to help evaluate whether Rancho Palos Verdes should participate.
Separately, the council received its biannual border issues report, which highlighted ongoing coordination with neighboring cities on shared projects. The report called out resident complaints about excessive concert noise from the F&M Bank Amphitheater on the Long Beach waterfront and directed residents to file complaints through the amphitheater’s website; the council noted the next border issues report will be presented in December.
The council’s action on the drone program was a staff-direction request rather than a final decision about procurement or program participation. The transcript did not record discussion of policy safeguards, privacy rules, or operating protocols; the council requested additional information before deciding.
Next steps: staff will return with more detailed information on the Lomita regional drone program and cost estimates so the council can evaluate participation and operational considerations.
