Johnson decision and to restore a pre-2020 approach to public-place camping prohibitions.

What changed in the law: City Attorney Joy Ford told the council that in 2020 the city amended its camping ordinance to comply with Martin v. Boise, which limited enforcement when shelter beds were unavailable. \"In 2020, the city council amended our municipal code so that it was in compliance to the Martin v Boise case,\" Ford said. \"In June of 2024, the United States Supreme Court passed the Grants Pass v. Johnson case, which overruled the Martin v Boise case.\" Ford's presentation advised the city that the prior enforcement limitation was no longer required by federal precedent.

Proposed municipal changes: Staff provided two draft ordinance options. One option restores the code to its pre-December 2020 language prohibiting camping in public places across the city (including near emergency shelters). A second draft adds a more specific prohibition on using a bus stop for any purpose other than boarding, waiting for or disembarking a bus; that draft includes a permissible inference intended to help enforcement teams: evidence that a person occupied the same bus site on two separate occasions within 24 hours, with the two observations more than four hours apart, could be treated as proof they remained for other purposes than waiting for a bus.

Council action: The council introduced by title an amended ordinance (ordinance number 3293-25) reverting the ordinance to pre-2020 camping language and incorporating the drafting staff's bus-stop provision as discussed. The introduction was by title only and passed on first reading as amended at the meeting (council recorded votes in favor).

Why it matters: The council's ordinance change reflects an adjustment to local rules following the Supreme Court's Grants Pass ruling and could increase the city's ability to enforce prohibitions on camping in public spaces. Staff cautioned that narrower criminal provisions can be challenged in court; Ford noted that every enforcement action carries legal risk but that Grants Pass removed the specific precedent that prompted Redondo's 2020 change.

Next steps: The ordinance advanced as an introduction for first reading; staff will return with final-language adoption options and implementation guidance. The city attorney also flagged a related area for council consideration: updating ex parte communication rules for commissions and codifying meeting conduct rules.

Ending: The council and staff agreed to bring formal codified rules and a final ordinance back to a future meeting for adoption and implementation guidance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CITY OF REDONDO BEACH CITY COUNCIL - APRIL 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Redondo Beach City Council introduced an amended municipal ordinance on Tuesday to revert the city's camping rules to their pre-2020 form after the U.S. Supreme Court's Grants Pass decision removed the Martin v.

The numbers: Cultural arts manager Jack Meyer told council the facility posted $1,122,000 in revenue in the 2023-24 fiscal year, its highest total since before the pandemic, and that operating subsidies have narrowed in recent years. Staff identified $2,030,000 in deferred maintenance needs (seats, uninterruptible power supply required for 90-minute egress lighting, HVAC and carpeting) and $1,420,000 in upgrades and capability improvements (projection/audio, stage house lighting, orchestra pit lift), for a combined estimate of $3,450,000.

\"These numbers are among the highest we have posted as revenue thus far,\" Meyer said of FY23-24 revenue, while also listing necessary capital work and day-to-day improvements.

Staff recommendations and rationale: Staff recommended continuing the current rental-centric operating model (lower risk to city), implementing annual user-fee increases of 3% for three years, finishing LED stage-lighting conversions already underway, prioritizing completion of seat rehabilitation (phased), and replacing the UPS emergency-battery system for egress lighting. The report also asked council to direct staff to study additional revenue options including full-scale motion-picture presentation capability, parking-lot and daytime events (farmers markets/food trucks) and targeted marketing or a contracted operator for the venue.

Why it matters: The PAC is a signature community facility whose deferred capital needs are visible to prospective renters and audiences. Staff told council that new stage speakers and a brighter digital marquee already added value and booking inquiries; additional investments could broaden rental demand and new revenue streams but will require capital funding.

Council reaction and next steps: Council members acknowledged the facility's improved revenue performance and urged staff to return with a Budget Response Report (BRR) prioritizing projects and identifying funding sources. City staff said priority capital items likely to be requested first include the UPS emergency egress system and the next phase of seat rehabilitation. Council voted to receive and file the staff report and asked staff to provide detailed BRRs during the budget cycle.

Ending: Staff will produce a prioritized BRR with cost estimates, funding options and an analysis of revenue potential for proposed capability upgrades.","City staff reported rising post-COVID revenue at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center but flagged $3.45 million in deferred maintenance and upgrade needs and recommended modest fee increases, continued lighting upgrades and study of new revenue streams.",{"_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},6617064,"Redondo Beach staff proposes economic development working group, highlights business concierge successes",5151,957000,6108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844025-dfc64a6e77f62e2f0348ce85a85e6d37&start=957&end=6108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844025-dfc64a6e77f62e2f0348ce85a85e6d37/thumbnail_957000.jpg","/articles/6617064/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Redondo-Beach-staff-proposes-economic-development-working-group-highlights-business-concierge-successes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617064-197ec1ec61a58a80d5400e05fbe97d54/orig.mp4?Expires=1771188453&Signature=cYLx-ulg-o62ZWoqGQbMrYhtQYtAfUuZJPN7dEHQdTYJO2PyM9U1dXYnQKpTJsdecOtPZqPrW31frh9uIu1Egzst2EwhnAHWgVQe4Cwp6l~FnZ~mO0bbuCZabUssQ8FtGz9ZarQGa3UFoPUxsQOhGHtNZv4-M3ZBotOMGo-Mo3PNwCuXgJ2UToYN3iPfQ477UN-bCW44aCv5VMJSAC8Y5Lq2lAFV43xUWY5aKP1BB-6ZPpLshCX-nR1pgtApysoVwkaYy5HyGmSVyHbOAmqjq7we5juWpN~f-QnlzThN0611zRMdElr1Lj1~YIhq71C9EaRIg1Y8oMbSmqvM0oNx5w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Redondo Beach staff on Tuesday asked the City Council to formally back an economic development working group and to create a council subcommittee to guide it, saying the city's two-year-old business concierge program has sped problem-solving for applicants and identified regulatory and permitting bottlenecks.

The business concierge program, approved by council in December 2022, provides centralized help for prospective and existing businesses as they navigate land use, planning and building-permit requirements. \"Since its launch, the business concierge program has improved interdepartmental coordination,\" Economic Development staff member Dave Scribe told the council, citing a mix of online resources, regular cross-department meetings and proactive outreach to applicants.

Why it matters: Council members described the item as a strategic step to retain and attract businesses to Redondo Beach's commercial corridors, reduce the number of projects that start construction without required permits, and make the waterfront and Artesia Boulevard more investment-friendly.

What staff recommended: Staff asked council to receive and file the report, to authorize continued upgrades to permitting systems and communications, and to indicate support for forming a city-council subcommittee to work with a staff-and-business working group. Staff said the city has implemented integrated permitting software, a business-concierge web page, appointment scheduling and in-person kiosks at City Hall to help applicants.

Examples staff cited: Scribe gave three recent examples where concierge support changed outcomes: a waterfront restaurant whose utility meter was replaced in time to open as scheduled after staff interceded with the utility; a cafe on Artesia that resolved safety and permitting issues during construction and opened; and the Sonesta Hotel obtaining a fast-turnaround event permit four days before an event.

Council reaction and next steps: Council members generally supported the proposal and indicated interest in serving on a subcommittee. Mayor James Light said he would like to participate. Staff said the subcommittee could be formalized by resolution later; no appointments were made at the meeting. Council voted to receive and file the staff report (motion to receive and file recorded as approved by the council). Staff said the next steps will include targeted outreach to the local business community, feedback surveys for applicants and a continued push to reduce internal permitting delays.

Ending: Staff will return with a formal resolution and implementation details for the council subcommittee, plus follow-up budget or resource requests as needed.","City staff briefed the council on a two-year business concierge program that handled 26 businesses and proposed forming an Economic Development Working Group with a council subcommittee to recommend regulatory and process changes to attract and retain businesses.","actionData","errors"]
