Finance staff presented a high-level table that consolidated personnel costs, contractual and program spending, utilities and capital projects tied to the city's homelessness response. Stephanie (finance) said the combined total for the prior fiscal year was roughly $2.0 million: about $600,000 of that charged to the general fund (personnel and some utilities) and the remainder covered by grants and restricted housing funds, including PLHA and county Measure H reimbursements.

The report pulled together several program components: the enhanced response program (staffed navigator and outreach), the city-managed pallet shelter and associated utilities and operations, short-term rental and motel placements, homeless court support managed by the city attorney's office, and outreach teams run by the police department (some positions reimbursed through county grants).

Commissioners asked for clarifications and asked staff to provide trend data and program outcomes: how many distinct individuals are being served or transitioned to housing and whether people served are Redondo Beach residents or transient. Staff said the city attorney's office collects program-level statistics (they had previously reported a functional-zero effort) and that the commission could request more detailed outcome data. The commission also noted that many of the staff roles listed would remain city positions even if grant funds expired, though grant cuts would reduce availability for shelter operations and contracted services.

A public commenter with procurement experience reiterated that his earlier concerns were about professional services contracting (sole-source consultants) rather than the construction or shelter contracts.

The commission voted to prepare a short transmittal and send the consolidated spending table to City Council for information, and commissioners asked staff to request outcome data from the city attorney's office (numbers housed, nights of shelter, inflows/outflows) to accompany the transmittal.

Ending: Staff agreed to add the council transmittal to commission follow-up items and to request program outcome data from the city attorney's office; the commission will review the responses when they are available.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","REDONDO BEACH BUDGET & FINANCE MEETING - AUGUST 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners reviewed a staff summary showing roughly $2.0 million in city spending on homelessness programs in 2024-25, including shelter operations and outreach; the commission voted to transmit the summary and request more outcome data from the city attorney's office.","taxTitle","Redondo Beach City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",4669,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6483763,"Commission discusses deferred maintenance, requests return with options for facility-reserve approach",184,8146000,8330000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588620-42890663436085816644f63efa5c348a&start=8146&end=8330","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588620-42890663436085816644f63efa5c348a/thumbnail_8146000.jpg","/articles/6483763/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Commission-discusses-deferred-maintenance-requests-return-with-options-for-facility-reserve-approach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483763-4d50e63e51a4101204e1386960e93070/orig.mp4?Expires=1770431206&Signature=it1BqwoYspeONBlJMLL5eecjm-39m7FSANZ5fUH6Bxr1qm2--iCFOZRj-rI4GyhXnGJVfvfktl6FTVDyWLrSAEP2v8GVZBkspGl4-f6WTva~-Sn3K9fsjrLFXBZmwe1q6NqyrpAWJXtdYk1F5um44gy5U08YRrPX0bFJ2mIcn5lRIfBDVGAzMcu-X4rQd2YMgTDP2YaR8X5wMPqEUUTkD4STS2emWzVtSs~vlDbFDeDKaoTDqpjgtzcU8X5c2VZcMSeucWwoBKKrZVhpTM-JU6STaQilx4ZOkQlhhN5o1CWoDuTT0Ivj3xDkO2IqkoI35we4ErArzwxmp4qMZWnHmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Aug. 14 Budget and Finance Commission meeting public-works staff described the city's building maintenance program and the limits of the city's existing repair funds, prompting commissioners to request a follow-up report with options for a facilities-reserve strategy.

Jesse of Public Works said the department runs building-maintenance operations funded through the city's internal service fund (ISF) and a Major Facilities Repair fund, and that ongoing maintenance crews perform repairs and replacements as needs occur. He told commissioners the Major Facilities Repair fund receives modest annual contributions but does not cover the broad backlog of repairs and replacements across many aging facilities. Staff noted the city has also used one-time appropriations and transfers in prior years for major fixes.

Commissioners and a public commenter noted past deferral of maintenance and asked whether the city has an asset assessment, a prioritized replacement schedule (for roofs, HVAC, plumbing) or a reserve that would smooth long-term costs. Staff said the city does not currently maintain a full, citywide replacement-reserve schedule analogous to a condominium's reserve study; the department has commissioned building assessments in the past (for example, HVAC inventories) but lacks a continuous, citywide asset-replacement plan and dedicated recurring funding at the scale commissioners requested.

Staff said some funding streams exist: ongoing ISF contributions, occasional council one-time appropriations, Quimby funds for parks, and restricted capital funds. Commissioners asked staff to return with concrete proposals: (1) an inventory and condition assessment of city-owned facilities, (2) an estimate of annual funding needed to establish a systematic replacement reserve, and (3) recommended governance (which council or staff decisions would be required to fund and draw on such a reserve).

The commission voted to continue the item to the next meeting so commissioners and staff could develop a recommendation.

Ending: Staff agreed to prepare options and cost estimates for a facility-reserve approach and to return with a written proposal at the commission's next meeting.","Commissioners reviewed a staff briefing on building maintenance and major-facility repair funding.

Jesse (public works) explained the spreadsheet's structure: project identification, budget history (initial appropriations and subsequent appropriations), spending-to-date, and bid and change-order details for formally bid projects. He provided a project-level example: Anita/PCH queue-improvement work funded through Metro/SBCOG, originally envisioned at a larger scope and a higher cost but executed at a smaller scope with final construction spending of roughly $731,000; the remaining appropriations will revert to Metro/SBCOG when the project closes.

Commissioners probed projects with large remaining balances and asked whether the unspent money would return to funding partners or be reallocated internally. Jesse said grant-funded projects will return remaining funds as required, while continuous programs such as the citywide slurry-seal program carry forward remaining appropriations to subsequent phases. Staff also described the city's change-order authority (administrative policy thresholds tied to dollar amounts and percentages) and explained council approval is required for change orders that exceed those limits.

Commissioners requested several edits to the spreadsheet before further review: add a column identifying each project's funding source (grant, restricted fund, capital discretionary, or general-fund transfer), flag projects that are continuous versus stand-alone, and mark which remaining balances will be returned to grantors. Jesse and staff agreed they could add those columns.

A public commenter with procurement experience urged the commission to look closely at professional services contracts as well as construction bids. After discussion the commission voted to receive and file the CIP spreadsheet for the record, with the requested modification to show funding sources.

Ending: Commissioners asked staff to bring the revised spreadsheet back at the next meeting and suggested the commission pick initial projects to audit further if members want deeper review.","Public works staff presented a detailed spreadsheet of completed and ongoing capital improvement projects and commissioners asked for clearer funding-source columns and tracking of remaining grant balances; the commission voted to receive and file the document with that modification.",{"_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},6483772,"Redondo Beach commission adopts minor changes to investment policy, accepts quarterly treasury report",1185,1215000,2400000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588620-42890663436085816644f63efa5c348a&start=1215&end=2400","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588620-42890663436085816644f63efa5c348a/thumbnail_1215000.jpg","/articles/6483772/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Redondo-Beach-commission-adopts-minor-changes-to-investment-policy-accepts-quarterly-treasury-report","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483772-173d35685b3ab3f23eabe127db57f91d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770431206&Signature=PsEwt29TA5dSbEI-BMYHFewL7iQOp0BfweeFtpuefjN~3TyUk2esyIqpujKusc8vMe0nkTOE54HS1UnkB~Axg9bn~OkFSHo1rFjiDjpMwS71XhYsVN9RWW0PsdAYnrf0dJPWokCjBWp6YMQPwMfOsX4TydmvzHipFmCUiQu-yblEf31VRK67MyvhvE9GVHh5Om8UJcXCp4PPeeV~sMVjIuJIwwpaBgZLWes3lGx2DV1uYZtNj~lXBCMCRe4IEhHEGnIHGe2IyPjEEbC3i1QuLsIXyaifW1fgVYbvZ9ycTSV21w-i0QsL04trwQUJGiwK2GzjZos1u0m9R4uk8EYr7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Budget and Finance Commission on Aug. 14 approved two routine items from the City Treasurer: modest language changes to the City of Redondo Beach Investment Policy and the treasurer's fourth-quarter fiscal report for 2024-25.

The commission voted unanimously to recommend a revision of the investment policy that raises the city's dollar cap for deposits in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) from $65,000,000 to $75,000,000, the maximum amount permitted by state law, and to update policy language to mirror recent state changes regarding joint powers authorities. Commissioners then received and filed the treasurer's quarterly portfolio report.

Those actions came during the city treasurer's presentation. Eugene Solomon, Redondo Beach City Treasurer, said the adjustments were largely ministerial and intended to align the policy with state code and with the city's practice of bringing the policy to the commission annually. Solomon introduced staff and outside advisors who participated in the presentation, including Nilesh Mehta and Rick Phillips of METRE Investments, who described portfolio composition and performance.

In the quarterly report METRE reported a portfolio effective yield near 3.07% for the quarter and noted the portfolio's weighted average maturity remained short (under two years) because the city held more liquid assets in response to cash-flow needs. Solomon and METRE explained LAIF (the Local Agency Investment Fund) behaves like a liquid money-market vehicle; METRE reported a typical LAIF allocation across treasuries, agencies, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and a very small allocation to corporate bonds.

Commissioners asked several technical questions about allocation between money-market vehicles and CAMP (the California Asset Management Program), maturity distribution, the portfolio's weighted average maturity, and the city's plan for reinvesting about $8 million of maturing securities through October. METRE and the treasurer said staff intends to reinvest a material portion of maturing amounts out to longer maturities as monthly cash balances stabilize, while preserving liquidity to meet near-term obligations.

The presentation included a fiscal-impact summary showing year-to-date investment interest of approximately $2.79 million, about 60% of which was credited to the general fund; the treasurer noted the city exceeded its budgeted interest contribution for the fiscal year. Commissioners also discussed benchmarking and the difficulty of comparing municipal portfolios across jurisdictions because of differing cash-flow patterns and restricted funds.

The commission's approval was by voice vote; the treasurer said he would forward the policy changes to city council as the next step.

The commission also accepted METRE's management report and voted to file the fourth-quarter report as part of the commission record. No public comments opposed the actions.

The treasurer and METRE representatives said they would add more detail in future reports about the split between CAMP and other money-market holdings and would continue monthly reporting of maturities and reinvestment plans.

Ending: The commission moved on after the treasurer items to the capital improvement presentation and other agenda business.","The Budget and Finance Commission approved updates to the city's investment policy to align with state rules and increased the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) limit; commissioners also received and filed the treasurer's fourth-quarter fiscal report for 2024-25.","actionData","errors"]
